Sex crimes increase THE latest crime statistics from the Ministry of the Interior show that the number of crimes with a sexual motive in Alicante Province have increased in the first half of this year, up around 20 per cent.

According to this data, it is in the province of Alicante where sexual assaults have increased the most. During the first six months of the year, 831 complaints were filed for sexually motivated crimes throughout the Valencian Community - 328 cases occurred in the province of Alicante with an increase of 21 per cent (42 of them for rape, 20 per cent more than last year), 423 in Valencia with an increase of 17.5 per cent, while the number of rapes remained at 37 cases.

Finally in Castellón, the increase was 5.3 per cent with 80 cases, of which seven were rapes.

FIGURES: The number of sexual assaults has increased substantially this year in the region.

OWING to climate change, Alicante had more rain than usual over the last year.

Some areas tripled their usual rainfall during the last Agricultural Year between September 2018 and August 2019.

The Marina Alta and part of inland El Comtat, which both routinely have higher than usual rainfall, registered more than 500 millimetres, the Valen-

Although l’Alacanti, Bajo Vinalopo and Vega Baja are all normally dry, or even drought-ridden, they were not far behind with around 400 millimetres, considerably more than during the 2017-2018 Agricultural Year, the association found.

Rainiest of all was Vall d’Ebo, which had 1,325 millimetres of rain over the last year.

There were three episodes of torrential rain over the last 12 months, beginning in November 2018 and continuing in April and August this year. Because these alternated with long, dry periods

it appears to have rained less than usual, but climatologists from Alicante University (UA) explained that there was more rain which fell torrentially and was frequently concentrated in small zones.

This, the UA experts said, is ultimately caused by climate change linked to high temperatures, especially minimum night-time temperatures.

More than 300 protesters gathered outside Villena’s bullring on the afternoon of the first fight, responding to a call from Villena’s MovimentoAntitaurino y Animalista anti-bullfight association.

CALPE 34-35 VIBRANT CITY: The stunning Guggenheim Museum reflects the light over the Ria de Bilbao.

THE BEATING HEART OF BASQUE COUNTRY The city of Bilbao has evolved from a looming grey industrial port in the 1970s to a cosmopolitan hive of culture, architecture and history that is a must see for anyone visiting the north of Spain.

SINCE the economic crisis crippled the country around 30 years ago, Bilbao has undergone a journey of rebirth to cement its place as one of the most vibrant cities in the world.

Bilbao enlisted the help from famous architects and inventors such as Frank Gehry, Sir Norman Foster and Santiago Calatrava to transform the infrastructure of the city into modern day works of art, whilst still maintaining the rich heritage

that formed the bedrock of the capital of the Basque Country.

Perhaps the most famous of the sights is the Frank Gehry designed Guggenheim Museum. Built in 1997 the titanium construction was revolutionary, transforming the look of the river banks.

Today it houses works from artists such as Anish Kapoor, Jeff Koons, Eduardo Chillida, Yves Klein and Anslem Kiefer.

Years of abuse THE Provincial Prosecutor’s Office of Valencia has sentenced a man to 10 years and 10 months in prison for sexual assault, threats and coercion against his wife during the 20 years they were married.

The trial began on Monday and, according to the indictment of the Public Ministry, the defendant, an Algerian citizen, subjected his wife ‘to all kinds of abuse’ during their marriage.

The victim told the court that she was subjected to insults, threats and forced to have sex by her husband and that he once even urinated on his wife.

Even after initiating the divorce process in February 2016, the accused forced her to have sex and harassed her ‘constantly,’ forcing her to change her mobile phone twice and remove her profile from social networks.

Natalie Gallagher who owns a house in El Campello has invited the couple to stay there and care for baby Scarlett until she is ready to fly home in mid-October.

The house is only 10 minutes from the hospital where Scarlett is being cared for and Scarlett herself is said to be doing well, even though she has had some breathing difficulties.

A GoFundMe page was set up to help the family cover the costs whilst stranded in Spain and the couple have thanked people who have donated.

Man left in coma after fight FOUR young people have been arrested in Calpe for their involvement in a fight that left one man seriously injured and in a coma for several days.

The fight took place at around 5am on August 27 on the Paseo Marítimo and the victim was punched several times in the head and left unconscious, according to witnesses.

The four assailants, one 21-year-old Spaniard, one 19-yearold Moroccan, one 19year-old Romanian and a 23-year-old Ukranian have been released on bail by the authorities although will be expected to appear in court.

Some of those involved have a police record for similar crimes, one is suspected of participating in a homicide that occurred near a pub in Jalon, where after a fight, a young man from Vilallonga lost his life as a result of the injuries suffered.

The victim was taken by ambulance to Denia Hospital where he was admitted to intensive care in a coma. He has now recovered and has been released from the hospital.

BARRACKS: In need of a facelift.

Barracks in disrepair THE Association of the Guardia Civil (AEGC) has complained about the poor state of the Javea barracks.

The building reportedly has cables hanging everywhere, damp climbing up the walls and flakes of paint hanging off the walls and cracks running up the building. There is also poor access for disabled people as there is no railing on the entry ramp.

The building is deemed dangerous as bits of the walls fall down and could injure someone reporting to the police station.

More than 83,000 people used the TRAM d’Alacant Tramnochador and the Mussol de Les Marines provided to transport late night revellers.

The officers and their families who have to live in the dilapidated barracks have requested that the family quarters be refurbished as they are not fit for them to live in.

The holding cells are also not appropriate and the health department would likely take issue with them in an inspection.

All aboard Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) ran at weekends between July 5 and August 31 as well as August 14 to 15 for feast of the Day of the Assumption of the Virgin.

Night services have been offered for a total of 19 days with the busiest night being August when 6,177 people travelled. The busiest station was the Mercado station where 24,922, boarded.

The total number of passengers throughout the period was 83,113 travellers this summer

compared to 82,941 in 2018.

These special services are part of the initiatives proposed by the Ministry of Territorial Policy, Public Works and Mobility that aim to increase the supply of the usual service provided by TRAM d’Alacant and Metrovalencia.

In this way, FGV has served the main leisure and entertainment areas of the city of Alicante and other areas and municipalities that people usually go to during summer nights.

MENACE : Wasps choose green almonds.

Another threat for almonds A PLAGUE could destroy 60 per cent of the inland almond crop.

This time it is not the Xylella Fastidiosa bacterium but avispillas (almond seed wasps) which lay their eggs inside green, developing almonds.

They were first detected in Biar two years ago and spread to Castalla, Onil, Sax and Villena but following preventative measures, the wasps have not

reached the Medio Vinalopo and the authorities are confident they have been contained.

The larvae growing inside the fruit are hard to detect until the almonds are picked and last year 40 per cent of the production in Foia de Castalla and Alto Vinalopo was lost in this way.

All infected almonds, including those that are mummified on the tree, must be burnt on

THE regional government, the Generalitat, has discarded plans to improve the CV-70 between Benidorm and Alcoy.

This would have impacted negatively on the environment, the Public Works department said.

The project proposed by a previous Partido Popular regional government would have cost between €120 and €150 million and cut the 70-minute, 50-kilometre drive by about 25 minutes.

Many municipalities connected by the road were frustrated by the Public Works department’s decision, maintaining that the improvements would have put the Costa Blanca within easy

Afterwards the trees are treated with pesticide during the period when the almond seed wasps are at the most vulnerable stage of their lifecycle.

Put it to the people ALTEA AMB TRELLAT, an opposition party on Altea Council, called for a debate on a possible tourism tax.

The party has added an amendment to a Partido Popular proposal regarding the tax and called for the Compromis-PSOE coalition at the town hall to let the local population and tourism sector decide whether it should be introduced.

“It’s obvious that there is a lot of discussion about the tax,” said Anna Alvado, Altea amb Trellat spokeswoman.

“Detractors claim that amongst other things im-

plementing the tax would reduce Altea’s competitiveness compared with other destinations,” she pointed out.

“On the other hand those who are in favour believe that this is a quick and inexpensive way of increasing income which could be invested in sustainability.”

Her amendment now has the support of Compromis and the PSOE and Alvado thanked both parties for backing her initiative that would involve the local population in any decision regarding the tourist tax.

TOURISM TAX: Under discussion at Altea Town Hall.

No change for CV-70 reach of the inland towns and Alcoy.

The PP’s plan would have retained the CV’s two lanes but

eliminated all the tight curves and steep stretches on the winding mountain road, along with bypasses for Benimantell, Benifato, Confrides, Benasau and Benilloba, with a tunnel for the Confrides mountain pass.

Although the mayors of Benidorm, Callosa and Guadalest amongst others regretted the decision, Alcoy’s mayor Toni Frances was less disappointed.

“The previous PP government admitted in private that the project was practically inviable owing to its cost,” he said, adding that while improvements needed to be carried out they should be environment-friendly.

DESIGN CAPITAL: Managed to beat off the competition to claim the title.

Valencia takes top world title THE World Design Organisation (WDO) has designated Valencia as World Design Capital in 2022. The Spanish city managed to beat off its competition in Bangalore, India, to claim the title.

The capital must serve to “break barriers” and act as a “megaphone” of the good work of Valencian design, both the past (as the old channel of the Turia) and the present (Bombas Gens), according to Xavi Calvo, strategic director of Valencia World Design Capital 2022 (WDC2022).

Satisfied with the road travelled so far, Calvo did not hide his joy with the international recognition.

In a video conference call with the association, the general secretary of the WDO, Bertrand Drome, communicated the decision of the committee in which the ‘precision, rigour and professionalism’ of the Valencia proposal has been valued throughout the process, as well as the

‘cohesion and strength’ of the sector.

The WDO conducted a two-day visit to Valencia in which the committee held working meetings with the promoters of the candidacy and institutional meetings at the highest level. In this visit, the jury was pleasantly surprised that the city refurbishes heritage buildings from the past to make use of them today such as the Convent Carme.

Valencia World Design Capital 2022 is a reality and now it is time to put the programme, entitled ‘Valencia’s Mediterranean Design,’ into action.

Valencia will take over from Lille 2020 in a recognition held by Helsinki, Seoul, Tapei and Mexico, among other cities.

At least 24 of the 64 apartments at the luxury apartment block have been

illegally occupied while squatters access water and electricity without having to pay, while owners close by have had to suffer their presence over the past five years.

It comes after a series of press stories shone a light on the ‘takeover’ that left expats and locals living in fear for their lives, with thieves becoming a rising problem in the area, usage of drugs in and around the illegally occupied apartments and an unsightly appearance to the area.

CHARITY SHOP: Now in a new location.

MARTA BANULS, the Javea Port councillor has opened the new Roundabout charity shop in Javea Port.

The shop has moved from near Bar Rafa, to this great new location opposite the school, just off the roundabout between the Barco roundabout and the Dolphin roundabout.

The shop is much bigger and aims to offer a more modern charity shop with professional displays and attractive fittings.

The shop handles clothes and shoes for women, children and men as well as home furnishings. The

shop also does a sale or return scheme for clothes.

Sometimes these clothes have never been worn and are the height of fashion.

There are also books and CDs. A coffee area to browse these at your leisure has been prepared with chairs to sit upon, quietly screened off from the hubbub of the shop.

Volunteers are always welcome to work in the shop.

Roundabout charity shop does not support a specific charity. It raises money to help many charities. On behalf of the Red Cross, Maica Aranda and Alberto Teneiro received a cheque at the opening for some

new computers for their ambulance service.

Earlier in the year, Javea social services received some money to fund school books and meals for poor children. Civil Protection volunteers received some new radios after their old ones were damaged in the floods at Easter.

Amigos Europeas received a new ambulance and La Pedrera Hospital in Denia received some new medical gowns.

THE Save My Life 3 event will take place on September 29 to raise money for abandoned dogs. The event will feature live music and entertainment throughout the evening and hopes are high after the last two events raised over €25,000 for charity.

Students asked to share cars to reduce traffic jams CAR SHARE schemes are being encouraged to cut traffic jams as schools reopen for the new term.

Students at the private Lady Elizabeth International School in Benitachell, which has more than 1,000 pupils and 200 staff, are being asked to share car journeys to reduce road congestion.

The local authority says traffic management collapses in the Poble Nou area when the schools return after the summer break Council officials are now working with the school to find a solution to the traffic jams that build up every morning at rush hour.

In August, the councillor for Education, Jorge Pascual, and the mayor of Public Safety, María José Ivars, held a meeting with the director of the school to find a solution.

Long term plans include building three roundabouts and a parking lot on the Xàbia road.

In the short term, the school is considering staggered start times for pupils and organising groups of students who live in the same neighbourhoods to share cars and to increase the number of school buses.

Miguel Ángel García, mayor of Poble Nou de Benitachell, assured that the council will lead the way in solving the problem but asked that residents and pupils play their part.

He said: “It is essential to car-

ry out a global mobility plan and aim for our municipality to overcome these problems. The city council will lead, of course, that search for solutions.

“In fact, the Provincial Council has already authorised the roundabout project that will decongest traffic.

“But it is important that everyone, including residents of areas that suffer an abnormal volume of traffic, collaborate and work together.”

Shut down halts Brexit debate THE suspension of Parliament this week has put business on hold while the Government seeks to avoid delaying Brexit.

Impeach PM call CALLS have been made for the Prime Minister to be impeached if he pursues a no-deal Brexit.

The Welsh party Plaid Cymru has made the call to prevent Boris Johnson by-passing the vote by Parliament to prevent the UK leaving Europe without a deal.

A UK Prime Minister has never been successfully impeached, but Mr Johnson was among those who called for Tony Blair to be impeached in 2004.

Impeachment would allow Parliament to bring a Prime Minister to trial for high treason if he refuses to abide by the will of Parliament.

The impeachment proposal was put forward

law making it illegal for the Prime Minister to end talks with Brussels without a deal.

Boris Johnson has said he would rather be ‘dead in a ditch’ than plead for an extension to the October 31 deadline.

Although the Prime Minister insists he does not want to leave without a deal and is convinced he can reach an agreement, he has pledged to leave the EU ‘come what may.’

Mr Johnson attempted once again to call a snap General Election, but the opposition remained firm in its demands that the law be passed first.

At the same time, Mr Johnson was meeting with the Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar in a bid to break the ‘back stop’ deadlock.

The Taoiseach invited Boris Johnson for talks for the first time since he took the Downing Street job.

Mr Vardakar warned the UK Prime Minister that there was ‘no such thing’ as a clean break with the EU, but Mr Johnson said a no-deal would be a failure that the Irish Government would bear responsibility for as well as the British Government.

The back stop is a mechanism to avoid a hard Irish border. Mr Johnson has said he will not sign a deal that includes the back stop, but will never introduce checks at the Northern Ireland border.

She told the BBC she had seen ‘very little evidence’ that a new agreement was being sought. She said that when she asked Number 10 for details of its strategy to strike a deal, she received a one-page summary in return.

She says that she had followed the instructions of the lifeguard who told her to cross her legs and arms but she still suffered an injury.

When Monu came down the slide, blood was pouring down her legs and she was taken to the on-site medics who recommended that she get a taxi to the airport. At the hospital she received stitches for a 7cm tear to her uterus.

Monu says that she is unsure what went wrong, but she is relieved that the injuries were not more serious and is now recovering.

Hitchhiker robbery A MAN has been arrested for allegedly stealing from a woman who offered to drive him to Alcoy.

The assailant managed to convince the woman to give him a lift to Alcoy to visit his daughter and once the car was stopped at a traffic light

he pounced on her bag and stole more than €200.

The woman had just left a betting shop and went to buy cigarettes, which is when the man spotted the cash in her purse.

The victim made a complaint to the police and a 54-

year-old Spanish man was arrested based on the description the woman gave to police.

The detainee has been accused of robbery with violence and has been placed in the custody of the Guard Court of Alcoy.

Burglary spree ends in arrests in Calpe A GANG accused of a spate of burglaries have been arrested in Calpe.

Officers of the Guardia Civil of Calpe have arrested three people as alleged perpetrators of several break-ins on five homes in the same urbanisation during August.

The investigation was initiated after a car was stopped on the exit of Calpe by the Citizen Security Unit (USECIA).

In this routine check, a vehicle and its occupants were identified and found to be carrying what were suspected to be stolen goods.

The security unit checked records and found no complaints of the items having been stolen, so the group was allowed to go free.

However, after several days, homeowners in the same urbanisation of Calpe, reported thefts from their homes and the missing items were linked to those found in the vehicle.

HELD: Three men suspected of carrying out burglaries in Calpe.

Finally, the Guardia Civil was able to determine the connection between the occupants of the vehicle and the thefts in the houses, so they proceeded to arrest the alleged perpetrators, who

are charged with a total of five robberies.

The three detainees - two men and one woman - are reported by police to have a history of similar crimes. They

have been released from custody and will appear in court at a later date.

Although the operation is closed, police have not ruled out the possibility of further arrests.

Spanish Life WORK: Will start next year to regenerate Blay Beach in Denia.

Blay Beach regeneration A MUNICIPAL delegation of Denia headed by the mayor, Vicent Grimalt, held a meeting in Alicante this week with the head of the provincial service of Costas, Rosa de los Rios to detail the projected measures that will be carried out on the coast of the Marina Alta.

According to the mayor, they were studying a possible regeneration of Blay Beach, a stretch of beach on which the sea has swallowed the sand

and the waves hit the walls of the front line housing.

Grimalt said Costas is analysing the economic cost of the project and the amount of sand that would need to be deposited there. However, he stressed that it would not be an imminent solution as work would most likely start next year.

As for the regeneration projects in Deveses, Les Marines and La Marineta Cassiana, the mayor stressed that he did not give them start dates for the work to begin.

Donating blood in Spain LIVING in Spain can bring with it an array of issues which may not have been encountered when living in the UK. There are lots of things to consider, and we are here to help try to make the transition and life in Spain a little easier by compiling a series of helpful facts and figures relating to a variety of topics.

In Spain, Blood Components and Services are provided by 17 Regional Blood Transfusion Services. Despite their autonomous operations management, every regional service is fully incorporated into a unique and common Public National Health System, supplying a cohesive blood transfusion care to all citizens, residents, and visitors in Spain based on 100 per cent voluntary and non-remunerated blood donation. For more general information, visit www.msps.es.

Anyone who has lived continuously in the UK between 1980 and 1996 (a minimum of one year) will not be able to donate blood in Spain due to the risk of transmitting mad cow disease. Similarly, there are restrictions if you have received a blood transfer in the UK. However, each region may have different rules about donation. Call the donation helpline on 935 573 500. Alternatively, visit www.donorsang.gencat.cat to find out if you are eligible.

If you are eligible, you can give blood at your local hospital, or via the Spanish Red Cross (Cruz Roja) at one of their clinics, or in one of their mobile units. You can check dates and locations by visiting www.donarsangre.org.

A donor card is not necessary to give blood. On the first visit you will have to provide DNI, NIE, passport or a driving licence. If you are already registered in the Blood Bank, you only need a donor card or a document with your name and surname.

The process of blood donation takes just 10 minutes in which 450 ml are collected (equating to 10 per cent of the total blood circulation of an adult person).

Despite huge technological advances, the only way for hospitals to obtain blood is through the generosity of the public. The blood is carefully screened for disease to make sure it is safe.

After a tattoo, you must wait four months to be eligible to donate.

After surgery, the exclusion period will depend on the type of intervention. After minor surgical procedures, you cannot donate blood for seven days or until you are fully recovered. After undergoing major surgery, you will not be able to donate blood for four months.

The rarest blood type is AB, present in 1 per cent of Caucasians, according to research by the America Red Cross.

Blood transfusions are carried out daily in Spanish hospitals with more than 6,200 patients being given them, of whom almost a quarter are fighting cancer and a similar figure receiving transfusions during or after surgery.

Spain has around two million donors in total, but needs closer to four million.

This information is for guidance only, and should not be taken as legal advice.

If in any doubt, seek professional help.

THE resident of Castellfort who died after being diagnosed with meningitis did not die as a result of a fox bite but was infected by listeria, although the case is not related to the outbreak in Andalucia, sources from the Ministry of Health have reported.

At first, the same sources indicated that the man had died as a result of meningitis contracted after being bitten by a fox last weekend, but after verifying all of the information related to the case, have clarified that his death is not related to the bite of a wild animal.

The patient was admitted to the ICU where his condition worsened and he eventually died. Although during the medical evaluation the patient and family reported that he had been bitten by a fox a few days before, it has been ruled out that it was the cause of the infection.

School refurbishment continues on opening CHILDREN at the Llebeig de Denia school have returned to an incomplete refurbishment project. Directors of the school have apologised to students and families that the building works that were due to be completed before the children returned is still underway.

Both the mayor and the director of Llebeig, Luz María Martín, have given explanations to the families and stressed that this weekend the

municipal cleaning services has completed most of the interior works. On Friday the entrance to the school was still full of fences which were also removed over the weekend.

Now the builders need to finish the new roof, finish changing the windowsills and paint the whole exterior of the school. These works will be done in the afternoons so as not to interfere with the children and their lessons.

‘PIRATE ISLAND’: Possibly the last island in the Mediterranean uninhabited.

Demolition on pirate island THE ‘pirate island’ of Benidorm - probably the last in the Mediterranean - could soon become an environmental interpretation centre if the central government complies with the request of the council to reconvert the facilities of the terrace restaurant that has been operating there without a licence for more than 50 years.

If this municipal initiative were to materialise, it would be a paradoxical outcome as this bar currently contaminates the Mediterranean with spills.

This unauthorised hotel activity, which inspired the term ‘pirate’ coined by a nautical business association, is still ‘coleando’ in the courts, since the owner of this establishment has raised several resources and

currently has a dispute pending in the National Court.

This has revealed a parliamentary response of the Upper House to Senator Carles Mulet, who has criticised that the Executive of Pedro Sanchez does not enforce the law and has said that “it is a case more, but symptomatic, from where does a government capable of spending a billion on a useless project like Castor direct its efforts and ignore how the conservationist organisations denounce in their report Black Flags 2019, countless cases of pollution, mismanagement, tourism, destruction of dunes, presence of plastics, poor purification, human pressure and excessive urbanism.”

In that same written communication from the Senate, Costas points out that the isle of Benidorm is part of the natural park of Serra Gelada and, conse-

quently, the competence to ensure compliance with specific regulations, as well as ‘the discharges to the sea that seem to be taking place from the aforementioned establishment,’ corresponds to the Generalitat Valenciana.

While resolving the umpteenth court case between the individual and the central Administration or the council’s proposal not to reach the demolition, the order of the Provincial Coastal Service was ‘to remove all existing facilities on land in the maritime land public domain for restoration establishment (including terraces, stairs, cages, animal cages, and other facilities linked to this establishment), after eviction of natural or legal persons who exploit them.’

It was dictated in February of this year and gave three months for its execution.

CARLOS BAOS WE CAN HELP YOU WHEN you buy a property, sometimes the description that exists in the Land Reg­ istry does not fit the physi­ cal reality. This can happen

FEATURE

Update the description of your Spanish property in the Land Property Registry for several reasons.

The most frequent is that af­ ter buying property, some small work may be done, such as a barbecue, a storage room, a porch, etc, and due to the

low importance of the work it is decided to not update the description at the Land Reg­ istry.

Another possibility could be that the previous owner made works that he / she had not de­ clared. Therefore, the descrip­ tion that exists in the registry is the old one, not including the new works carried out.

Why is it necessary to up­ date the description in the Land Registry?

The description at the Land Registry is the official and legal description. If you apply for a mortgage loan, the bank will request an appraisal, and in normal circumstances the sur­ veyor will require that the de­ scription is updated.

On the other hand, if you are interested in selling your prop­ erty you should keep in mind that the potential buyer will usually always prefer to buy a

property that fulfils the legal requirements and the one which the land registry descrip­ tion matches with the physical one.

Besides that, updating the description of the property means declaring the value of the work performed, which could, in certain cases, increase the original acquisition value of the property, and substantially reduce the amount of the capi­ tal gain tax to be paid for the sale.

How can I update the de­ scription of my property in the land registry?

The new works must be de­ clared by granting a public deed of declaration of new work before a notary.

The declaration can be of new construction or old con­ struction.

For the declaration of new work, the notary will request

the final act or certificate of the work, administrative authorisa­ tion to carry it out according to the urban planning legislation, and certificate made by an ar­ chitect that certifies that the description made suits the pro­ ject carried out, etc.

On the other hand, when we talk about old construction, we mean works that were made years ago, and for which, even if they were illegal, or the ad­ ministration had not given au­ thorisation for its construction at the time, enough time has passed so that the administra­ tion has lost the possibility of initiating an administrative claim or process against it.

For this type of declaration, we must have an architect cer­ tificate that proves the age of the work and the veracity of the new description, etc.

In the Valencian Community this statute of limitations de­

pends on whether the work was carried out before or after the entry into force of Law 5/2014, these terms being four and 15 years respectively.

In either case, once we have obtained the necessary docu­ mentation, we can grant the public deed before the notary.

To register the deed and up­ date the description of the reg­ istry, it will be necessary to pay the stamp duty tax, which for the Valencian Community, is 1.5 per cent of the declared value of the work.

If you are interested in up­ dating the description of your home in the land registry in a professional and efficient way, contact us and we will assist you.

Straight through for ambulances SAMU ambulances will not, after all, be obliged to queue at motorway tollgates.

The Ministry of Public Works announced not long ago that SAMU ambulances and police vehicles were not subject to motorway tolls.

This caused more problems than it solved, obliging ambulance crews to queue at the tollbooths, call an employee and provide documentation proving that they were attending an emergency.

SAMU ambulances are mobile intensive care units and are either transferring patients to hospital or are on their way to an emergency.

The new motorway procedure has meant delays of up to

10 minutes in critical situations and the alternative of using main roads, particularly the N332, is too hazardous and time-consuming to be practical.

Until the Ministry announcement the SAMU ambulances were fitted with devices that automatically paid the fee into the motorway concessionary’s bank account.

The regional government’s Health department has now announced that the SAMU ambulances will again have the devices.

“The way toll fees are recovered is something that the ambulance and motorway concessionaries will have to negotiate between them,” a Health department spokesman said.

Brexit prompted suicide A GLOUCESTERSHIRE coroner blamed a French mother’s death last March on worries over Brexit.

France Marie-Louise Davis, who was 76, had lived in Britain with her British husband, 74, for more than 50 years.

Although they were planning to move to France, Mrs Davies expressed “worries and anxieties” about the UK’s departure from the EU. Mrs Davies, who had a history of depression, had previously been treated for pneumonia and her mobility was affected, the court heard during the inquest.

She walked out of her home in Tewkesbury (Gloucestershire) on March 18 this year and was never seen again.

Earlier that day, she took the family pet to the vet’s but was brought home in a distressed state after it died.

Her body was found two days later in a flooded field, nine days before the original March 29 Brexit day, the court heard.

“This lady had a history of depression and low mood, she was anxious about Brexit and had recently lost a beloved family pet,” said senior Gloucestershire coroner Katie Skerret, returning a verdict of suicide by drowning.

New British Ambassador meets UK nationals THE new British Ambassador to Spain and Andorra, Hugh Elliott, met last week with members of three of the groups representing UK nationals in Spain: Bremain in Spain, Brexpats Hear our Voice and EuroCitizens. They discussed the issues affecting the more than 300,000 British citizens who have made Spain their home.

HMA Hugh Elliott said: “Protecting the rights of UK nationals in the EU is an absolute priority for the UK Government.

That’s why it was so important for me to meet some of the groups that represent UK nationals during my first official

week as British Ambassador to Spain. We have had frank conversations and I have learned a lot about what matters to our citizens living here, and how people feel. I and my team will continue to work hard to address any outstanding issues.

I welcome what Spain has done to protect UK nationals here, including through the Royal Decree. It is important citizens take action to ensure that they can access the rights laid out in that decree: registering for residency, checking that they are covered for healthcare, checking their passport is valid for travel and exchanging their UK driving licence for a local one.”

Sue Wilson, Chair of Bremain in Spain said: “It was a pleasure to meet the Ambassador and his staff, and to discuss ongoing collaboration in the best interests of our members. We are encouraged by the depth of understanding of the issues we face, and of the anxiety caused by the ongoing political situation.

“Clearly there is a willingness and determination to provide much-needed guidance and information, and I look forward to working together further to achieve those aims.”

Debbie Williams, Founder, Brexpats - Hear our Voice said: “I was delighted to meet Mr

The meeting was insightful, friendly, frank and open. We discussed our ongoing concerns, and I look forward to further communications, working together to help and support British Citizens living in Spain.”

Michael Harris, President of EuroCitizens said: “EuroCitizens members remain concerned about the reciprocity clauses in the no-deal contin-

gency plans of the Spanish Royal Decree 5/2019: we emphasised to the Ambassador that the treatment of Spanish citizens in the UK could invalidate protection for UK citizens in Spain.

“We have presented a summary of the status of our rights in different Brexit scenarios, including losses implied by third country national status, and look forward to hearing from the Ambassador on how

the rights of British citizens in Spain will be safeguarded after Brexit.”

Property prices continue to rise PROPERTY prices in Spain increased by average of 7.05 per cent in the first half of the year putting the typical price of a square metre at €2,363, according to the latest report by Grupo Tecnocasa and the Universidad Pompeu Fabra (UPF).

The study also reveals that house price growth is no longer greatest in the country’s biggest cities. In fact in Barcelona property price rises in the first half of the year were generally below the national average.

The Catalan capital nevertheless remains the most expensive place to acquire a home in Spain, with the price of a sqm standing at €3,190.

PAULA MORCILLO, a 15-year-old, recently came second in the junior category of Spain’s national Trap 5 Shooting Championships.

This win automatically entitled Paula to compete in the Trap 5 World Championship that was held in Cheste (Valencia) the following week and where she came ninth in her category, putting her amongst the best 10 in the world.

She was accompanied in Cheste by her parents, An-

tonio and Yolanda as well as Pepe Casiano from the Club de Tiro al Plato de Alfaz del Pi who commented that Paula carried out a series of spectacular shots, on some occasions shattering 20 of 25 released clay pigeons.

That was even more impressive, Casiano added, considering that this was only Paula’s second official trapshooting competition and she had taken out her firearms licence only a few weeks before the Spanish championships.

BALCONADES: Yearly open-air exhibition of works by professionals and amateurs.

Traditional balcony scene in the old town UNTIL September 30 Alfaz will again be hosting the Balconades open-air exhibition of artwork.

This year sees the 21st edition of the Altea initiative where pictures by professional and amateur artists of all nationalities have been displayed on balconies and façades in the neighbouring town’s Old Quar-

Once August was over the pictures were, as always, transferred to the centre of Alfaz where they can now be seen in Calle Federico Garcia Lorca, Calle Baldons, Calle Tinent Segui and Calle Ametler Amarg amongst others.

In October, the pictures will be taken down and sent to the inland town

of Agost before they move on to Benimantell in November.

Where will it come from ALTEA Council approved a motion to review the amounts allocated to the publicly-owned Municipal Development Company (PDM).

These have not been brought up-to-to date since 2012 but the proposal to set aside another €500,000 was backed only by the Compromis-PSOE coalition.

This increase meant that the town hall was investing 17 per cent of its budget on the cleaning and upkeep of Altea’s street, prompting criticism from the Alta amb Trellat opposition party.

This would inevitably be passed on to householders whose rubbish collection bills would inevitably rise by 8 per cent, the party said, asking where the money would come from.

Diego Zaragozi, the councillor responsible for the PDM admitted that, like all municipal cash, it would come from the taxpayer.

At the same time Zaragozi insisted that the hike was necessary. Until now the PDM had ‘merely survived’ and it had not been possible to renew machinery because company workers had received a 10 per cent pay rise over the last seven years.

Work has begun in front of 42, Avenida Diputacion as well as Avenida de los Ejercitos Españoles at the crossroads with Calle Santamaria and Calle Polonia.

As a result, legal proceedings were opened against 27 street vendors while another was detained after resisting arrest and injuring a police officer. Merchandise was impounded on 70 occasions, municipal

sources revealed.

Calpe Town Hall reminded the public that street vending is permitted only at the Saturday open-air market or the craft fairs in Calle Alemania and Plaza del Mediterraneo.

Teulada - Moraira LUCAS is back home after seven years. The chihuahua-Yorkshire terrier cross, who is now 12, disappeared from where he was waiting for his owner, Antonio, outside a Teulada bar.

NEWS

NEWS

Lost and found The family were astonished a few days ago to receive a call

from the Sociedad Protectora de Plantas y Animales in Alicante City, announcing that they had a dog whose chip showed Antonio as his owner.

“My first reaction was to say they were mistaken but when they described him to me, I realised it was Lucas and I nearly fainted,” he said.

Lucas was picked up after a member of the public, who saw him wandering the streets in northern Alicante City, rang the Protectora and the family still have no idea where he could have spent the last seven years.

Antonio was not particularly worried when he left the bar to find that Lucas was gone as the dog came and went at will, but the worried family searched for him and put up posters when he failed to return the next day.

They are certain now the little dog, who barely weighs three kilos, must have been stolen.

Seven years older, fatter and now without teeth, Lucas is back in the family home.

TRADITION: Bringing in the local grapes.

Something to celebrate AS it has since 2004, the Associacio Cultural Amics de Teulada (ACAT) again organised this year’s Festa del Moscatell.

The fiesta celebrating the locally-grown muscatel grapes is also a celebration of the Valencia region’s roots and culminated in a morning spent bringing in the grapes and the traditional scalding of the grapes destined for raisins.

This was followed by a procession with carts and wagons loaded with the grapes taken for treading watched by young and old alike and fascinated tourists.

The best grapes in the world MARIA ROSA heads a team of ‘estisadores’ (female grape trimmers) who prepare Teulada-Moraira’s muscatel grapes for market.

The women snip off damaged or marked grapes from the bunches now being harvested before they are packed and sent to Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao, Oviedo and Zaragoza.

Teulada-Moraira has the best muscatel grapes in the world but they are also the most overlooked and the skill is dying out, lamented Maria Rosa as she and the other women worked in a Teulada warehouse.

“The younger generation does not want to know.

Grapes don’t pay well,” she said. “It would be fantastic if they fetched just half of the

MUSCATEL GRAPES: Bunches sometimes need ‘modelling.’ price consumers pay.”

High temperatures, possibly due to climate change, had reduced the Marina Alta’s muscatel crop, she said, and neither had the grower avoided the general tendency of being paid a pittance.

“Our grapes are a delicacy and picking them, ‘model-

ling’ the bunches and packing them involves a great deal of work,” Maria Rosa said.

“These women start on the bunches at the end of August and their work will go on until the end of September.

It needs skill and good taste.”

The average age is high

because younger women are not interested, but Maria Rosa stressed that her team was completely integrated.

“Teulada women who learnt from their mothers have now shown women from Colombia and Morocco. ‘Estisorar’ strengthens social bonds,” she declared.

AS the 2019-2020 academic year began, 1,198 TeuladaMoraira pupils returned to school or attended for the first time.

In Moraira, the Cap d’Or primary school received 214 infants and primary pupils while Sant Vicent Ferrer school in Teulada now has 470.

VUELTA PRESENTATION: The Astana team takes a bow.

Who paid what query THE Diputacion provincial council queried claims that the previous town hall endangered the Vuelta a España presentation.

Teulada-Moraira’s Castillo on Moraira’s seafront was chosen for the formal presentation of teams competing in Spain’s most important cycle race at the end of 2018.

The May 26 municipal elections produced a new local government, a Compromis-PSOE-Ciudadanos coalition who claimed that

their predecessors had committed to spending €90,000 on preparing the event.

The town hall possessed neither the necessary equipment nor sufficient funds to cover the cost but, after talking with the organisers and the Diputacion, this was reduced to €25,000, announced Teulada-Moraira mayor Rosa Vila.

Eduardo Dolon, who heads the Diputacion’s Presidency department maintained that Teulada-Moraira hosted the presentation

thanks only to the former local government.

Instead of declaring that some things had been left undone, the current threeparty coalition should have seen that they were done, he said.

“That is what the town hall is there for,” he added.

“The presentation took place thanks to the Alicante Diputacion and the La Vuelta organisers who paid all that was originally agreed and which the town hall left unpaid,” Dolon insisted.

LORETO FIESTAS: Fireworks conclude the celebrations.

THE Loreto fiestas in Javea’s Duanes area ended with 10 minutes of fireworks.

In the past they were let off from the harbour breakwater, but this was banned five years ago following regional fire-prevention regulations, prohibiting fireworks within 500 metres of wooded areas.

Owing to Javea port’s proximity to Montgo national park, the display has been relocated to three platforms off La Grava beach.

THE AEGC association representing Guardia Civil officers complained about the ‘deplorable’ state of Alicante Province’s headquarters.

A statement drew specific attention to Javea, whose post it described as ‘battling dampness, loose cables, cracks and peeling stucco.’

All this was visible to members of public visiting the local post, continued the statement, which highlighted the building’s inaccessibility for those with mobility problems as its ramp was narrow and needed a handrail.

Those deadly dog-ends THREE years ago, an uncontrolled forest fire raged through Javea obliging thousands to evacuate their homes on 16 urbanisations.

The fire in early September 2016 started just below t h e Pu i g d e la Llorença lookout at Cumbre del Sol in neighbouring Benitachell, but strong winds and extremely high temperatures fanned the flames which finally consumed 812 hectares of local land.

Three years later vegetation has regenerated and although charred and unfelled pines still dot the steepest slopes where they cannot be reached, Granadella is flourishing once more.

But worryingly, the Puig de la Llorença lookout is littere d w ith cig are tte ends.

The combination of meteo ro lo g ic a l co n d itio n s th a t a llo w e d th e fire to sweep through Javea and part of Benitachell are unlikely to be repeated this September.

But as concerned resid e n ts p o in ted o u t, th e leth al co mb in atio n o f w e a th er co n d itio n s a n d human negligence will always be capable of sparking off a disastrous fire in future.

Mary based hers on a dream and after Byron described it as ‘a wonderful work for a girl,’ she made it into a novel that was published later as Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus.

SPAIN’S ‘app economy’ has not stopped growing since the Apple App Store was launched in 2008. According to the latest technology data, jobs related to iOS apps have grown 26 per cent in Spain since 2016. In total, 77,000 direct and indirect jobs related to the App Store have been generated in the last 11 years.

According to the data published by Ap­ ple, Spain ranks fifth in Europe in coun­ tries experiencing the greatest impact on their economy viaiOS apps.

Apple claims to have created more than 1.5 million jobs in Europe since 2008.

“In this time, European developers have created some of the most exciting apps in the world, connecting with customers in 155 countries, and have earned €25 bil­

lion in revenue from sales on the App Store. Nine out of 10 euros earned by Eu­ ropean developers come from overseas sales,” the company said.

Today, applications have become a fundamental part of the smartphone business, whether on Apple mobile phones or Android operating systems. Ac­ cording to the consulting firm App Annie, the second quarter of this year has seen the highest number of downloads and spending per consumer to date. Con­ sumer spending surpassed $22.6 billion worldwide in this period, a 20 per cent in­ crease over the previous year.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Can they get a quorum?

I have always thought that for an AGM, there has to be attendance of 51 per cent, including proxies. At our recent meeting we had only 25 per cent. It was then announced, ‘Therefore, the majori­ ty required to pass resolutions is not met, due to ab­ sence of the remaining co­ owners, despite being summoned legally.’ Our problem is that there are very few permanent residents and never many visit­ ing owners.

C C (Costa Blanca) Standard­ ly, the first announcement YOU AND THE of the AGM gives LAW IN SPAIN the time and the place, and also notes that if there is not a quorum of voters present, the meeting will be held at ‘second call­ ing’ half an hour after the first call. The law says that a quorum to pass resolutions is 51 per cent of the owners just as you point out.

The law also says that, if this number of owners and proxies is not present at the first calling, a majority vote of the owners and proxies actually in attendance at the second calling, will suffice to pass resolutions. The ab­ sent owners have 30 days from receiving the minutes if they wish to protest the vote.

Iberia extension plan THE European Commission (EC) has proposed that Iberia, amongst other airlines be given seven more months to adapt their shareholding to continue operating in the European Union (EU) after a No Deal Brexit.

Iberia, part of the IAG group, would automati­ cally lose the capacity to operate flights between two EU cities because more than 50 per cent of its shares would belong to a UK group, which would be a non­EU country. Iberia must restructure its shareholding so that more than half of its shares are held by an EU­based company, not by third countries, a requirement for being able to operate flights between two European Union cities.

Economy forging ahead HOUSEHOLD spending is helping Spain buck the Eurozone trend where the big economies are on the verge of recession.

The region’s fourthlargest economy has outperformed the Eurozone’s average growth rate of five years.

This was in the past on the back of exports growth, but now its consumers that are driving its growth.

Gross domestic product is expected to rise in Spain by more than 2 per cent this year, compared with less than 0.5 per cent for Germany and just over 1 per cent for the Eurozone.

Spain’s rich getting richer

BUSINESS EXTRA

Top for tourism

By Dilip Kuner THE number of ultrawealthy people in Spain has increased 74 per cent since 2011.

That was the year that the country’s wealth tax was reintroduced, in the middle of the economic recession.

Hacienda (Inland Revenue) figures for 2017 recently re­ leased show that 611 taxpay­ ers declared net assets of €30 million or more, com­ pared to the 352 who did so in 2011.

When it comes to proper­ ty, the number of citizens who declared property worth more than €1.5 million grew 35 per cent to a total of 60,337 individuals.

The wealth tax is highly controversial. It is paid on top of income or capital gains where an individual’s net assets are worth more than €700,000.

Although it is a state levy the power has been de­ volved to the autonomous

SPAIN is the most competitive country in the world in terms of tourism, according to the ‘The Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2019,’ prepared by the World Economic Forum with its infrastructure and cultural sites scorning highly.

Up beat PUERTO BANUS: A favourite playground for the super-rich. regions, which has led to big differences in what has to be paid depending on where the tax payer lives.

Cataluña, which does col­ lect the wealth tax, takes in €498.5 million annually while in Madrid there is a 100 per cent allowance, so the super­ rich tax residents in the city

don’t have to pay anything.

Hacienda’s figures show that in 2017 there were 71 people worth more than €100 million living in Spain.

While these figures seem to show a big rise in the numbers of super­rich, it could be simply that they are now visible.

A tax amnesty in 2012 un­ covered €40 billion that had been previously undeclared.

Then in 2013 a new law was passed that forced indi­ viduals to declare their inter­ national assets or face a stiff fine. This uncovered €156 billion in assets that Spanish residents had abroad.

OVERALL recorded music revenues in Spain grew by 27 per cent in the first six months of this year to €140.7 million on physical and digital music, compared to €110.9 million in the first half of 2018.

A political problem

CAN no one rid us of this turbulent blot? This whole Brexit debacle, which has, among other international embarrassments, made us the laughing stock of Europe, has actually achieved at least one positive result; it has finally revealed the true nature and motives of our so-called leaders.

The whole fiasco has very little to do with the British public, and certainly no connection to our democracy. It is purely a battle royal between the privileged few. Arrogant elitists who, in the main, have no interest whatsoev­ er in how the public think or act, unless it somehow threatens their own self­centered ambitions.

These governmental manipulators, particu­ larly the remoaners, have shown us they will sink to just about any level to protect their vested interests. I also find it interesting in the way they are insisting Boris asks for a further extension. How can they be so sure that the EU will comply? On numerous occasions the EU leaders have told us they will in no way grant us more time. Could it be the ‘old boys’ club’ knows something we don’t? No whiff of possible collusion there surely? Heaven for­ bid we should suspect them of anything as

devious as that! Well, be that as it may, you can rest assured many among them have plenty to lose. Over the years dozens of MPs and peers have collectively received millions in EU subsidies.

Forty­eight wealthy farmer/ landown­ ers claim 5.7 million a year from the EU. Over 30 former MEPs and offi­ cials in the House of Lords draw up to €500,000 a year in EU pensions. Many have tak­ en an oath of loyalty to the EU not to attack the old in­ stitution. (Yep!) Among them is the utterly useless Neil Kinnock (87,000 PA), Lord (Mandy) Mandelson (34,000 PA), Lord Tugendhat (41,000PA) and so on. Company leaders also put their narrow vested interests before the UK’s overall economic interests, mainly because they know they will have to pay more wages should we leave the EU.

BORIS JOHNSON: Looking for a further extension.

At the very least these people are guilty of a conflict of interest and should undoubtedly be barred from any crucial voting in these mat­ ters. Nope, sorry folks, I’m afraid your political preferences really don’t enter into it. The only democracy these people understand is the one that concurs with their own selfish senti­ ments, and they will do anything to frustrate Brexit ­ or anything else that may threaten or interfere with their own lucrative ambitions.

Well I’m here to warn them to be careful what they wish for. What these parliamentary conspirators don’t understand, is that by try­ ing to destroy Boris Johnson, they are taking away what could finally be a resolution to the whole sorry mess. For the first time since the referendum the public can see some light at the end of the tunnel and they won’t take kindly to seeing it snatched away yet again.

It is not the public who are the instigators of all the confusion and chaos; we made our minds up three years ago. It is the politicians who are the problem. As usual!

Friday 13 and all that …

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

FRIDAY 13th. Rumours and superstitions surround this date in history, regarding both the number 13 and the day Friday.

From a Norse myth (12 gods and their uninvited, 13th doom­laden guest); Bibli­ cal references (Judas Iscariot, who be­ trayed Christ, the 13th diner at the Last Supper); medieval dastardly deeds (on Fri­ day October 13, 1307, King Philip of France arrested and put to death the revered Knights Templar for their Holy Grail secrets and wealth) to more modern times (Friday was the traditional day for public hangings in Britain with supposedly 13 steps leading up to the noose).

And how is fear of the number 13 demonstrated today? Some airports have no gate 13. Some planes have no row 13.

Hotels regularly have no floor or room 13.

But if not the result of just plain old co­ incidence, some past ‘Friday 13th tragedies’ were actually planned to feed into the mythology. I’m thinking here of

FRIDAY 13: Rumours and superstitions surround this date. the ‘Friday the 13th virus’ programmed to delete IBM computer files across Britain on that day in January 1989. Bad luck had nothing to do with it.

Pick any date in history and you’ll have a massive list of genocide, murder, rape, greed, natural disasters, fear and loss. Bad things happen every day. It’s just that, if something happens on Friday 13th, it sticks in our minds because we’ve all been brainwashed to believe it’s bad luck. In fact, in some countries like Italy, 13 is lucky while in Spain, it’s Tuesday the 13th that’s unlucky!

Finally, a few positives. Hollywood offi­ cially arrived on a Friday 13th. The Holly­ wood sign (originally advertising ‘HOLLY­ WOODLAND’) was unveiled on Friday July 13, 1923. Built to advertise a housing de­

velopment, it’s since become one of the world’s biggest tourist attractions. As for the UK, the first nudist colony was found­ ed on Friday June 13, 1930: the North De­ von Club in Metherell opened and Britons were allowed to let it all hang out.

If you’re still spooked this Friday 13th, maybe you’ll be even more spooked on October 31st: Brexit day. Halloween will never be the same again...

ENORMOUS carbon footprint

I REFER to your recent article in the Euro Weekly News.

Each week we enjoy a great deal of live televised sport. Wonderful, covering all sport from around the world.

All these events, football, cricket, tennis, racing, rugby World Cup, golf, etc etc leave an enormous carbon footprint created by the TV companies whose representatives, engineers, presenters and commentators travel by car, van, sea and air to provide us with our armchair entertainment.

If the climate change and Green party people are genuine in their be­ lief about the disaster imminently awaiting us, they would demand the immediate banning of all outside broadcasting of sporting events as non­essential activity. Of course, they won’t and we all know why ­ support would collapse.

There are votes and kudos and good fees to be earned by those supporting ‘project fear’ in all its guises, so, as a demonstration of commitment to the cause let the climate experts and green political parties propose a ban on the televising of sporting events to be im­ plemented by world governments and then we would know they really are se­ rious!

Alan Bryan

I agree with Leapy I HAVE just read your column in the EWN and totally agree with you. I am so pleased I don’t live in the UK. It left me feeling so angry that Boris has had the rug pulled from underneath his feet as regards being able to negotiate any deal at all. The EU must be laughing all the way to their meeting place.

Jeremy has been calling for an elec­ tion for months now and when it was offered, he refused it. You just couldn’t

CARBON FOOTPRINT: Are TV companies contributing to climate change? make it up.

The UK is just a complete shambles with all parties in­ volved I just don’t know where it will all end.

Keep up the good work. It isn’t very of­ ten that I disagree with what you say.

Sylvia Baker

Makes blood boil WELL said Leapy Lee. Your article on Brexit

HAVE YOUR SAY

was spot on and exactly right. We live in Spain and would be better off financially if we stayed in, but it makes my blood boil when these remainers try to get the result overturned.

Richard Horsey

All letters by email or post should carry the writer’s address, NIE and contact number though only the name and town will be published.

IF this was in the UK, that poor lamb would be su­ ing our police for aggressive arrest and reporting it to the police investigation team. Good to see ‘zero tolerance’ in action.

Laurie Linarce Why not just wait for him to get tired or bored and come down rather than climbing on other ve­ hicles and damaging them. He could hurt no­one but himself up there. The owner of both vans now have to try and get compensated for the damage and you can bet the police won’t be as keen to help with that. Softly,softly, catchy monkey!

Tony Aqombar

GLOBAL warming has been happening on Earth since Adam was alive.

We worry about how many times we fly back to our home countries, the fuel we use in our car, the eco efficiency of our homes.

All these things contribute to our global footprint - that is the impact we as individuals, through our lifestyle, have on the planet.

But should we be made to feel guilty that living our lives is killing the planet and ultimately leading to the extinction of the human race?

According to Dr Guy Midgley, head of the climate change research group of the National Biodiversity Institute South Africa, we live on an unusually stable planet, but periods of cooling and warming naturally happen in cycles.

These periods of rising and falling temperatures over the last 500,000 years have been down to levels of methane and CO2 in the atmosphere which are not man-made.

Also, levels of solar radiation vary over time and this has a significant impact on global temperatures, most notably in the Earth’s northern hemisphere.

Climate change experts believe we are currently between ice ages and that the development of modern industry has had a relatively minor impact on temperatures.

Over several thousand years in the earth’s history, temperatures have been higher than they currently are indicating that doing too many school runs or turning on the air con isn’t what’s going to wipe us out. So, it’s not just our fault, but does that mean we should throw caution to the wind?

Not at all. Reducing greenhouse gases will slow down global warming and, while we’re the planet’s dominant species, we should do all we can to save the planet.

After all, we’re only passing through.

Now we want to hear your views.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing a challenge to go to the polls before Britain leaves the EU. So now we can start having a general election every

year because the losers don’t like losing.

Michael Gallagher There is no British leader that can lead the UK out of the EU in a respectable way. What a Greek tragedy Brexit has become.

Rolls Royce and an explosion NICK HORNE’S Rich Pick Freelance correspondent, London, England IF you ever believed that a Rolls- Royce was the only expensive and select car with an enormous presence then you would be only slightly wrong.

August 2019 in the height of the summer season and Rolls­Royce Mo­ tor Cars revealed an explosion of colour at the ‘Pebble Beach 2019 Col­ lection.’ Inspired by the hills, sand and sea surrounding Pebble Beach, this year’s collection is the most colourful yet. The Collection included 13 beauti­ ful Bespoke Commissions, offered ex­ clusively for the clients attending Monterey Car Week 2019.

The collection was led by the brand’s flagship, Phantom. Rolls­ Royce Bespoke designers have dressed this Phantom in a shimmer­ ing Black Diamond and Gold Bespoke exterior. The interior features the Rolls­Royce Phantom Gallery, an indi­

LUXURY: Pebble Beach Collection - One of One - cars of the Black Badge special commissions of Rolls Royce Bespoke. viduality available in no other motor car in the world, designed to house personalised art making the Phantom an extension of its owner’s art and de­ sign collection.

Cullinan, the bespoke division of Rolls­Royce Motor Cars marked its second year at Pebble Beach with some of the most extensive Bespoke designs in the ‘Pebble Beach 2019 Collection.’ The four vehicles on dis­ play during the week feature colours including Burnout Grey, Black Green, Iced Gunmetal and Galilea Blue.

The iced finish showcases one of the most popular innovations from

the paint specialists at Rolls­Royce.

The subtle finish offers the solid effect of matte colours with an elegant shine. Colour innovations are nothing new to a design group that has built finishes using glass, silver, gold and di­ amonds for Bespoke Commissions.

Following recent years of alternat­ ing drought, fire and rain, the Mon­ terey Peninsula this year was a sea of colourful wildflowers. Highlighting this year’s debuts were a trio of Bespoke motor cars showcasing the creative colour capabilities of the artisan de­ signers in Goodwood, Sussex the home of Rolls­Royce. The Pastel Col­

lection draws upon a palette of colours from this year’s ‘wildflower super bloom’ on the Monterey Penin­ sula. The collection included three one­of­one Black Badge Commissions adding new colours to the Rolls­Royce Bespoke palette and reaffirming the idea that a Rolls­Royce Black Badge doesn’t have to be black.

The collection starts with Ghost Black Badge in Light Green Solid, a new Bespoke exterior finish. The pas­ tel green represents the rebirth of the flora on the peninsula following the years of drought and fire. The hand­ crafted leather interior is Black with a

striking Serenity Green splash high­ lighting the iconic Black Badge techni­ cal Fibre.

The drophead creation among the collection is Dawn Black Badge in Coral Solid which showcases the Be­ spoke finish that can only come after seven coats of paint and more than nine hours of hand polishing in the Surface Finish Centre at the Home of Rolls­Royce, Goodwood. The new pastel colour carries over to the Be­ spoke Aero Cowling, giving Dawn a colourful yet aggressive exterior. The Dawn Black Badge interior is finished in Artic White and Sunset carrying over the visual imagery of the bloom­ ing northern California hills and val­ leys.

The final piece of the trio is Wraith Black Badge in Semaphore Yellow, a bright and sunny finish for the most powerful member of the Rolls­Royce family. Wraith Black Badge features a Selby Grey and Lemon interior with the iconic Rolls­Royce Black Badge Starlight Headliner. The ‘Rolls­Royce 2019 Pastel Collection’ presents Black Badge unlike you’ve ever seen before.

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Primarily, you are wanting to see some appreciation. That is understandable given the efforts that you have made. Do not be annoyed, however, if it is a while coming yet. Others are not always as well tuned in as you. If necessary, use a go-between discreetly to make sure of progress.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) Increased activity in your love life means less time to really concentrate on business. Make sure that priority financial matters are dealt with. Not doing so will see you kicking yourself later on. A close relationship is going well. There’s no reason to wonder why, the charm offensive is obviously working.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Keeping an eye on your health is particularly important at the moment.

Because you have been active, it could be that you need to give yourself a bit of time. Pampering and just plain relaxing are all going to stand you in good stead during the coming week.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Opening your mind to a new idea has convinced you that it is time for a change in direction. This is such a time, but not all changes will be permanent. Give yourself a way out of any situation this week. Using your tact and charm, it will require only a little application to please everyone.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Improvising within a new business situation may not give you the perfect answer to a problem. What it will do, however, is give you an insight into the way others live. Until now, your approach to life may have been a little one-sided.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) A recent holiday has set your mind racing. This being a romantic time means that you can get a little overexcited. Your romance may not be set to last but you should fully enjoy it

nonetheless. Relatives issue words of warning but they have only your best interests at heart.

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION

IRISH LOTTO Saturday September 7

Opposing opinions on a matter close to your heart see you hesitating. There is nothing wrong with asking for advice.

The chances are that you know someone who has already been through your situation. Don’t let pride make you miss out on a solution.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Not everything in the garden is rosy but you are made of strong stuff. Your conviction that something is right helps you in discussions. Support given to a loved one may be misguided, especially if it is a huge financial gamble.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) This is a time to enjoy the present and look forward to the future. Don’t forget, along the way, to congratulate yourself for all that you have achieved in the last year. Sometimes you do not blow your own trumpet and people appreciate you in a quiet way.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) An appetite for something new means that you tread unknown ground. It’s an exciting time when you may find it easier to do things alone. This does not mean you have to feel alone as others can be told of your progress.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Part of being ‘you’ is your independent mind. Some may try to change that this week. Why would someone want to make you more dependent on them?

Could it be that they feel insecure?

Giving reassurance may be all that is needed. We all feel the need for appreciation.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Trying to be everything to all people is tiring. No one knows this more than you.

Give yourself a little time and space this week because it will make a great difference to your spirits.

I’m SuperGrumpyMan MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I BOUGHT some new garden furniture. We agreed a price - not the ticket price as I only ever use that as a starting point - and I paid by credit card. As I sat in the shop I got confirmation on my phone that the amount had been processed which is how it should be.

When I got home I double checked the invoice and found a €30 mistake. I immedi­ ately phoned the store and the salesman apologised and said he would refund it straight away. A week later it’s not been credited. I’ve called them again and asked why not? But nobody can give me an an­ swer. I’ve noticed this a few times. If taking the money out can be instant, why can’t the repayment be just as quick?

When I was in England recently I used Uber which I have set up with my Pay Pal account. When I checked I noticed there were two payments for Uber on one day even though I only used them once. I

emailed them and was told some reason why, which to be honest I didn’t under­ stand. It was something about guarantee­ ing the payment and it was just being held and would be credited back soon and four or five days later it was.

What’s all this belt and braces protec­ tion? I’ve booked a car for an upcoming trip. I’ve got all the insurance cover but they are still going to put a €1,000 hold on my credit card. The problem being is that I have to go after them if they decide to charge me for something I have no clue about. I still never got my money back for a Monarch flight that I paid for with a debit card and probably never will because of the nutty banking rules.

Someone wanted to send me some mon­ ey from a UK bank to my Spanish one.

I told them to use an App that does it pretty quick. I was in the UK at the time but they decided to use their bank to do it. I was there for four days but I still got back to Spain before my money did even though it was instantly taken from my mate’s account.

So I’ve decided my new name will be SuperGrumpyMan… travels faster than the speed of money transfer and re­ funds... a bit long but you get the point.

Hearing aid specialist IF you already have a hearing aid, or are considering getting one, then contact Maike Fortak at Hear.

Maike is a dedicated hearing aid specialist, who has been established here on the Costa Blanca for the past 19 years.

With a Masters degree gained in Germany in 1993, she has a wealth of experience and ex­ pertise in all aspects of aural care, and offers hearing tests, consultations, the latest in hear­ ing aid technology, and servicing of products.

Maike runs two clinics one in Villajoyosa (by appointment only) and the other once a week in La Zenia (SWEDENT, Calle Diamante 5, Edif Tres Coronas) where she can answer all your questions concerning any hearing difficulties you may have.

She believes in the personal approach to hearing care, and offers a combination of ex­ perience and understanding with cutting edge technology, including the latest micro devices from Phonak and Signia.

Internal or external aids, and each with their own specialised performance and de­

sign; internal or behind the ear.

Cutting­edge technology from Signia and Phonak provides Bluetooth connection to your smartphone and there is a special offer of 30 per cent off until the end of October!

Through consultation and tests, Maike makes sure every hearing aid is custom fine­ tuned and fitted for the individual and has to be thought of rather like made to measure tai­ loring. Each person has different needs and Maike makes sure they receive exactly what suits their needs best.

She says that people often do not realise how their hearing has deteriorated over the years; one prime example is the inability to tune into conversation when there are more than four or so people chatting, sometimes called ‘cocktail’ deafness.

The new hearing aids can even help with this! They don’t just amplify sounds, but can filter and adjust them and some can be so small as to be undetectable.

Technology has come on leaps and bounds in recent years.

So if you need a new hearing aid, or think you would like to check how your hearing is, why not contact Maike.

Excess heat can cause halitosis

THE long, hot summer days are upon us, but have you ever wondered what happens to the body in extreme heat.

Some people love the sultry conditions and overload of vitamin D, but for others it can wreak havoc with the body.

Hot weather can cause some painful chafing, unavoidable sweaty armpits and sleepless nights of re­ lentless tossing and turning. And then there’s the hay fever.

But it can also give you bad breath.

Excessive heat can cause you to dehydrate, which has been proven to have the unsexy side effect of halitosis.

When the mouth becomes dry, bacteria accu­ mulates due to a lack of saliva to wash it away.

During summer months, the body loses more water naturally through sweating. This, coupled with an increase in the use of hay fever medica­ tions, fad summer dieting, and increase in out­ door exercising and over exposure to the sun, can also make the problem worse.

BAD BREATH: Dehydration in the heat can cause unexpected problems so drink lots of water.

It’s advisable to drink plenty of water, not just to combat bad breath, but to keep other body organs functioning well. On a positive note, a healthy amount of sun can strengthen bones.

Mood can influence decisions EXTROVERTS who are positive will work on try­ ing to further improve their mood, more than introverts.

Spanish researchers at the Universidad Com­ plutense in Madrid conducted a study which confirms that the mood of introverts is differ­ ent from extroverts, especially when it comes to positive situations. Their study of 112 partici­

BURSTING: Feeling bloated can be caused by eating too quickly.

Beat the bloat WE’VE all had that feeling after a large meal or an indulgent holiday when your stomach can feel overfull or uncomfortable.

It can be easy to assume this is simply because we have put on a pound or two, but sometimes even if we make all the right food choices the cause can just be simple bloating of the stomach.

This condition has various causes, but thankfully can be easily treated. According to Healthline.com, ‘abdomi­ nal bloating occurs when the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is filled with air or gas.

Most people describe bloat­ ing as feeling full, tight, or swollen in the abdomen.

Your abdomen may also be swollen (distended), hard, and painful. Bloating is of­ ten accompanied by pain, excessive gas (flatulence), frequent burping or belch­ ing, abdominal rumbling or gurgles.’

The site claims the most common cause of bloating is gas which can enter the stomach by eating or drink­ ing too quickly, as well as by taking in too many car­ bonated drinks. Chewing gum and smoking can also cause the problem. If this is the case, try to slow down eating and cut back on fizzy drinks by eating more mindfully and taking time to chew and enjoy your food.

Certain foods can also cause bloating, including beans and legumes, which can produce gas as they are broken down in the stomach.

Instead, try to substitute lighter coloured lentils and black beans which can be more easily digested. Wheat can also cause bloating in those who have a gluten in­ tolerance. If you suspect this may be you, why not try some gluten­free alternatives for pasta and bread and see if this helps.

While it may be good for us in many other respects, broccoli and other crucifer­ ous vegetables can be hard for our bodies to digest, causing a build­up of gas.

Instead, spinach, cucum­ bers, lettuce and sweet potato still contain plenty of vitamins, but without the painful side effects.

Another unlikely culprit is some fruits. These include apples, which according to Healthline have, ‘been

known to cause bloating and other digestive issues for some people.’ It seems ‘the culprits are fructose (which is a FODMAP) and the high fibre content.

Fructose and fibre can both be fermented in the large intestine, and may cause gas and bloating.’ The web­ site suggests switching raw apples for cooked ones which can be easier to di­ gest.

Finally, dairy products can be difficult for many people to digest, resulting in bloating and discomfort.

If that is the case, why not try some dairy­free alterna­ tives such as almond or soy milk and butter. Cutting back on cheese toppings can also help bloating with­ out impacting too much on taste.

pants found those who fell in the ‘extrovert’ category after their initial questionnaire would want to improve their good mood and this would influence their decisions, when choosing which film to watch compared to introverts who are more conformist.

The study also found both extroverts and in­ troverts regulate their negative moods similarly.

Makeover your mornings THE morning can either be the best time of the day or the worst, depending on what kind of person you are.

Whichever camp you fall into, how you start your morning can have a big impact on how the rest of the day goes.

Making small changes to your morning routine could quickly make all the differ­ ence. Although it’s incredibly tempting to reach for the tea or coffee first thing, try drinking a cup of hot water and lemon first which will help to start your digestion, get your liver up and running as well as rehy­ drating you. If you have a busy household, try setting your alarm 30 minutes before everyone else wakes up. This will give you time to take a nice long shower, read the paper or do some exercise; whatever you find most relaxing.

FACELIFT WITHOUT SURGERY? MORNING SUNSHINE: How you start your day can make a difference.

YOU’LL be happy to know that a new type of procedure has been developed to fill in the gap between non-invasive facial rejuvenation and face-lift surgery: The ‘thread lift.’

THREAD LIFT: Tightens What is a thread lift? the skin on the face.

A thread lift is a type of procedure wherein temporary sutures are used to produce a subtle but visible ‘lift’ in the skin. Instead of removing the patient’s loose facial skin surgically, the cosmetic surgeon simply suspends it by stitching up portions of it. This has the effect of pulling the skin back slightly and therefore lifting and tightening the face. In addition to being ideal for lifting the skin, threads combat ageing in another way: by provoking the body’s ‘healing response’ and causing the body to direct large surges of collagen to treated areas. This is important because of the vital role collagen plays in the ageing process. Collagen helps to keep our skin strong, voluminous and supple. In fact - from the age of 25, our bodies gradually produce less and less collagen, which leads to an 80 per cent reduction in skin thickness by about 70.

Thread lifts can be performed under local, rather than general anaesthesia, meaning thread lift patients can drive home and look after themselves immediately after having their procedure, which takes about 60 minutes. While some patients will experience a little bit of soreness, redness and swelling, most can return to work immediately. Strong pain medication is seldom needed after having a thread lift. Thread lifts are low risk, thanks to how non-invasive they are. There is virtually no risk of scarring, severe bruising, bleeding or other complications.

Thread lifts certainly produce visible changes, it also creates a more subtle and natural looking end result than facelift surgery. Thread lifts are therefore best suited to patients who are dealing with mild to moderate, rather than severe, signs of skin laxity. At Derma Clinic Spain we have thread lift patients from the age of 40, whereas most patients are over the age of about 55. Thread lifts can, however, provide a facelift alternative for older patients who are unable to have surgery for medical reasons.

At Derma Clinic Spain we have the best experience with the American brand Silhouette. The Silhouette Threads will lift the skin and stimulate to collagen production. The threads contain a number of tiny ‘cones’ that are adept at grabbing tissue. This allows the threads to gather more skin, producing a more noticeable lift to the cheeks and jowls. Silhouette threads are designed to create fairly long-lasting results and patients can expect to enjoy the impact of their lifting for one to three years.

At Derma Clinic Spain we have a great offer of 50 per cent discount for the Silhouette Thread lift in September.

Theo blinded by cork LOVE ISLAND star Theo Camp­ bell has returned home from a holiday in Ibiza where he was temporarily blinded in one eye.

He had been in Ibiza relaxing with fellow Love Island star Kaz Crossley when he was hit in the eye by a popping Cham­ pagne cork.

Theo was sporting a pirate­ style patch over his right eye which had been seriously dam­ aged when he was hit in the

freak accident.

He had been wearing sun­ glasses at a party and took them off at the very moment a woman in front of him popped the cork of a bubbly bottle.

The force caused a tear that required seven stitches in his eye ball.

Theo said: “It was a perfect bullseye, shot hits me clean in the eye and that’s how easy it was.”

Specialists say there’s every

Gates goes solo in Ibiza SINGER Gareth Gates has been chilling in Ibiza with his sister Charlotte and friend Mimi after his split with fiancée Faye Brookes.

Gates went on Instagram to thank his family and friends for their support after the breakdown of his seven­year relationship with Brookes.

The 35­year­old had originally booked the trip for himself and Corrie star Brookes.

He has been seen on the town at Ocean Beach club with his family and friends.

Gates had posted earlier that he couldn’t wait to leave the UK. It was revealed earlier this month that the cou­ ple had split and Brookes had moved out of the home they shared. The split had actually come se­ cretly in July when they called off their wedding plans after a series of rows.

Bowler’s black pudding BOWLER’S PRIVATE DINING I HAVE always been a huge fan of black pudding. Black pud­ ding is a type of blood sausage originating in the United King­ dom and Ireland. It is made from pork blood, with pork fat or beef suet, and a cereal, usu­ ally oatmeal, oat groats or bar­ ley groats. Here in Spain they have their own version made with rice which originates from Burgos. You will find it goes with many ingredients, espe­ cially sweet. For those who fol­ low my recipes, you might re­ member I used black pudding with apple and scallops not so long back.

!!Dani’s weekly food tip!!

When using eggs al­ ways crack an egg on a flat surface ever the edge of a bowl. Otherwise you’ll risk shell shards and possible contamination of your food.

Follow Dani Bowler: instagram: Dani.bowler Web: www.danibowler.com This recipe is really simple and goes down a treat as finger food, or even a starter!

Make sure you use ‘morcilla de cebolla’ which you can find in any local supermarket.

‘Black pudding sticks with caramelised apple purée dip’ • Ingredients ­ Filo pastry ­ 200g black pudding (morcilla de cebolla) ­ 1/2 onion (finally diced) ­ 1 Egg yolk ­ Vegetable oil ­ 2 apples ­ 4 tablespoons brown sugar ­ 2 tablespoons honey ­ 3 knobs butter ­ Olive oil • ‘Black pudding sticks’ Method In a pan on a medium heat fry your onions till soft and brown, take the skins off the black pud­ ding and add the black pudding mix to a bowl, add the onions, season well and mix with your hands!

Whisk the egg yolk ready to seal the filo pas­ try.

Pre heat your deep fat fryer or a use a pan to shallow fry in vegetable oil.

Lay out the filo pastry and using two sheets, add a spoonful of the mixture and roll to any size you would like your sticks, using the egg yolk to seal the edge.

Fry for about 20 seconds on each side, dry us­ ing kitchen paper.

BLACK PUDDING STICKS: Nice finger food.

• ‘Caramelised apple puree dip’ Method Place the apples into a pan with a drizzle of olive oil, knob of butter, and cook till soft and start to brown, set aside. In the same pan now add the honey and brown sugar, when the sugar starts to devolve and starts caramelising then add your apple mix back to the pan and mix well.

Transfer the mixture to a food processor and blend until a smooth purée. Place into the fridge to chill until ready to serve.

House-sitters can help to keep pets feeling safe at home by maintaining their routines

MANY of us will have had pets who love a routine. Breakfast and a fresh drink, the morning walk, following you around the house during the day, sleeping when the sun is hot, and an evening meal all around the same time each day.

BARRY DUKE I HAVE 11 years to live.

This I know because my husband’s iPhone told me so.

The disconcerting fact surfaced when Marcus said ‘put your fore­ finger here,’ pointing at his phone’s camera lens. When he hit a button on the screen, the lens emitted a light and up flashed a message to say that my heartbeat was 83 beats per minute.

‘Is that good?’ I asked. ‘Well, it’s normal for someone of your age,’ he replied. But the app that allowed him to measure my heartbeat ­ Cardiio ­ also indicat­ ed that the 83 bpm figure meant that I could only expect to live un­ til 83, and am not sure this was something I wanted to be told.

Later, Google informed me that the vast number of heartbeat and blood pressure apps available for iPhones and Android devices are wildly inaccurate and are about as much use as a walking stick to a walrus.

Of much greater use to me is a fantastic app called PlantSnap, which uses your mobile’s camera

There’s an app for that

MOBILE PHONE APPS: Some are more useful than others. to identify thousands of plants. It not only names them, but tells one how to care for them.

Until I downloaded it my knowl­ edge of plants was pretty dismal, but now I know the names of all the greenery and flowers on our balcony, and I’ve become hooked

on photographing all manner of things growing in various loca­ tions around our apartment.

It was through this app that I discovered that the most prolific shrub in the area ­ the Oleander ­ is also the most deadly. There is a story that in Spain, in the times of

French occupation by Napoleon’s troops, an invitation to share a meal was extended by the Spanish to French soldiers. In the prepara­ tion of the meat, peeled Oleander cuttings were used as skewers to roast it, resulting in the death of many of the Napoleonic troops.

I then wondered whether the app could be tricked. Yes it can. I snapped a pic of Chris, a bar­ tender at Benidorm’s Company Bar, and it identified him as a rose. He laughed out loud when I said ‘Be grateful it didn’t say you were a pansy!’

After I downloaded PlantSnap, I went in search of other apps that would give me as much pleasure, but nothing ­ save the iShaver ­ appealed to me. It’s basically a virtual electric shaver, and emits a loud buzzing sound. I told Marcus, who has been cultivating his beard for years, to shut his eyes.

When he did I pressed my phone to his chin and shouted ‘your fa­ cial fuzz is extremely annoying and I’m getting rid of it!’ His eyes snapped open in a panic, and for a moment I thought I’d get the beating of my life.

Another fun app for those who don’t value their smartphones as much as they should is called Send Me To Heaven (SMTH). To make it work, you simply hurl your phone skywards and it calcu­ lates the height of the throw. The blurb for this Android app says: ‘You can challenge your friends to see who gets the higher score, that is, until your phone breaks.’

Even if I had an Android phone, I’d certainly give that one a miss!

The new Porsche Taycan livestreaming from the IAA PORSCHE will use three drive technolog i e s i n t h e f u t u re : highly emotive petrol engines, powerful plug-in hybrids and from now on - also allelectric drives.

This product strategy is reflected in the eight new models that the sports car manufacturer will be pre­ senting at the 68th Inter­ national Motor Show (IAA) at Messe Frankfurt in Ger­ many from today (Thurs­ day, September 12) to Sep­ tember 22. The focus at the IAA will be on the brand’s first all­electric sports car: the Taycan as a Turbo and Turbo S. Further highlights at the motor show include three new hybrid models in the Cayenne series, the new Macan Turbo and the 911 Carrera as a Coupé and

Cabriolet. In addition, Porsche will also present the vehicle with which the company will enter the ABB FIA Formula E Champi­ onship in November: the Porsche 99X Electric.

12­day continuous pro­ gramme on the Porsche brand at the company stand Throughout the entire du­ ration of the auto show, ex­ perts from the company’s various technical depart­ ments will be at the stand to present a stage programme on the Porsche brand and provide an insight into cur­ rent topics for the first time.

The new Porsche Taycan will play a central part in the lec­ tures, interviews and discus­ sions.

Employees from the De­ velopment, Design and Mar­ keting departments will ex­ plain the features of the first all­electric Porsche. Other

main content areas include the topics of motorsport and Formula E, visionary future technologies as well as gam­ ing and Esports racing.

Next Wednesday, Septem­ ber 18 Porsche will hold its ‘Motorsport Day.’ The motor show audience can look for­ ward to a presentation of Porsche’s Formula E car and an hour­long autograph ses­ sion with race car drivers, among other things.

The ‘Next Vision Day’ on Friday will focus on topics about the future. Experts will deal with urban trans­ formation and new tech­ nologies in the automotive industry.

And on the two ‘Esports Days’ to be held on Saturday and Sunday, September 21 and 22, live races on simula­ tors will take place in which professionals and amateurs alike can participate.

Honda Civic SR ROAD TEST

by Nick Fletcher THE Honda Civic has been in production for close on 50 years, first introduced in 1972 and still going strong with latest versions offering sleek sporty styling, enhanced equipment and outstanding fuel economy.

Priced from €21,467 (£19,395), the Civic range offers petrol and diesel engines and several trim levels and my test model was a mid-range SR model with a 1.5-litre 118 hp diesel engine with six-speed manual gearbox. This model costs €25,004 (£22,590).

The engine is quiet and responsive and the gearshift is very slick, so the car has a smooth effortless driving feel, and upgraded suspension is well-balanced, providing excellent ride comfort and poised cornering.

Top speed is 209 kph (130 mph), the 0100 kph time 10.0 seconds. Emissions are low at 110 g/km and the fuel economy of 20.8 kpl (58.9 mpg) is impressive.

The Civic has a slightly lower driving position than most rivals and being longer, lower and wider than previous models, exudes a bolder and more sporty profile which help it stand out in the hatchback class.

The spacious cabin has good head and leg room in the rear and the boot has a substantial 519-litre capacity which can be expanded by dropping the rear seats, which fold flat for easy loading. Trim materials have been upgraded and along with neat design accents deliver a quality appearance.

The dashboard is well-designed with clear instrumentation and while the touch-screen infotainment system is a little slower to react than some, it does the job and you quickly get used to it.

Standard kit on the SR is generous and includes front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera, dual-zone climate control, digital radio, Bluetooth, smartphone integration, connectivity and sat-nav. Safety features include adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, auto emergency braking, agile handling assist and traffic sign recognition.

In a sector which includes the VW Golf and Ford Focus, the latest Civic has an appealing presence. Its new styling is less quirky than previous versions and has a more upmarket image, under-pinned by Honda’s well-established record for reliability.

Model tested was UK-specification and equipment levels and prices may vary in other markets.

Rafa’s a winner again THE 33-year-old Spanish lefthander moved one shy of Roger Federer’s all-time men’s record 20 Grand Slam triumphs and with it became the second-oldest New York champion in the Open era after Ken Rosewall in 1970 at age 35.

Delivering one of his most spectacu­ lar major final performances, Rafa cap­ tured his 19th career Grand Slam title on Sunday by winning his fourth US Open against Russia’s Daniil Medvedev 7­5, 6­3, 5­7, 4­6, 6­4.

The match got off to an intriguing start when Nadal received a warning for slow play in the very first game.

In his next game, Nadal gave away an early break when a couple of fore­ hands skewed off his racket frame and failed even to reach the net. Had it been any other player the errors may have increased, but not Nadal who is the best on the tour at preventing things to spin out of his control. Even losing the third and fourth set in what seemed like a definitive come­back

RAFAEL NADAL has won his 19th Grand Slam in an epic five­set clash against Daniil Medvedev

FANTASTIC: Nadal triumphed in a great match.

from the young Russian, Rafael was there to stamp his name once more in the sport’s history. Nadal, who was in his fifth US Open championship match and 27th Grand Slam final, is the first man to claim five major titles after turning 30.

Nadal always falls down backwards

after winning a major title, but this time he lay there for so long ­ overcome by exhaustion and relief ­ leaving one wondering if perhaps CPR was needed.

“It is one of the most emotional nights in my tennis career, with that video and all of the support,” said Nadal at the presentation ceremony.

Madrid win again REAL MADRID, the reigning basketball champions, have started their pre-season in style with two wins.

Missing several players on du­ ty at the World Cup and with just three days’ training they won the Torneo Costa del Sol for the third consecutive year.

They beat Unicaja Malaga 69­ 76 in a game they dominated in the first quarter. The team mixed youth with experiences, as in their earlier game against Zenit. Unicaja Malaga, with an inspired Avramovic, went ahead early. A timeout was called by Madrid coach Laso and whatev­ er he said had the desired effect with several three­pointers mak­ ing the score 16­24.

There were moments in the second quarter where the hosts challenged the Whites, but Madrid pushed again to take the lead in Nerja and it went to 28­ 43 at half­time.

Casimiro’s side were not done and brought the game back to within five points (45­50), but Laso’s side dominated the rest of the game.

FOUGHT BACK: Malaga tried their hardest but still lost out.

“This victory means a lot, especially the way the match became so difficult and tough.”

He added: “It was an amazing fi­ nal. Daniil is only 23 years old and the way he was able to fight and change the rhythm of the match was amazing. He will have many

more opportunities like this.

“The last three hours of the match were very, very intense. Very tough mentally and physically, too. The crowd has been as always amazing, all these facts that make the moment super spe­ cial. It was an unforgettable moment.

At the same time Daniil created this moment, too. The way that he fought, the way that he played, he is a champi­ on. Just well done for him. I really be­ lieve that he will have many more chances.

“The way that the match became very dramatic at the end, that makes this day unforgettable, part of my histo­ ry of this sport. I’m just very happy. This trophy means everything to me today.”

Nadal extended his lead in the ATP Race To London to 1,960 points over Djokovic. In doing so, he strengthened his bid for a fifth year­end No 1 finish in the ATP Rankings, which would tie Fed­ erer and Djokovic and move to within one of Pete Sampras’ record.

Nadal took the top prize of $3.85 million at Arthur Ashe Stadium to add to his US Open trophy haul.

SPORT FERRARI’S home win by Charles Leclerc at Monza has left Lewis Hamilton saying the younger generation of drivers “get away with a lot more” in wheel-to-wheel battles.

The race featured a thrilling battle between the young Monegasque and five­times­ world champion Hamilton.

The latter looked like the faster of the two drivers for pe­ riods and tried several passes without making any stick. Cred­ it for that should go to Leclerc who defended robustly. At one point Hamilton had to use the run­off area to avoid a collision and Leclerc cut the first chicane but retained the lead.

After the race Hamilton said: “It doesn’t really matter what I think. I don’t really have any­ thing to say about it. We’ve gone over and over it multiple times, it’s pointless me bringing it up. I avoided the collision, and just kept focusing on trying to get close again.

Hamilton: youngsters ‘get away with a lot more’ Credit: F1/Twitter

YOUNG GUN: Charles Leclerc won the Italian GP. “It seems like the new gener­ ation get away with a lot more in that space, of how they ma­ noeuvre their car compared to I’d say the more experienced drivers. But it’s good knowl­

edge, now I know, and I look forward to the next one.”

Leclerc was put on an official warning at one stage when he was shown the black and white flag, but this carries no penalty.

Hamilton commentated: “We’ve just constantly asked for consistency. There was a rule put in place, and then it wasn’t abided by today.

“They used different conse­ quences for the rule today. I don’t know why that was the case. I guess the stewards woke up on a different side of the bed this morning, I don’t know.”

He added: “I’m not unhappy.

Of course, I don’t like to go backwards, but he (Leclerc) did a fantastic job today. I put on as much pressure as I could. We had a couple of close moments, I think we can probably talk about it in private together, but there’s nothing major, and we continue to race. I’m looking forward to more races togeth­ er.”

Leclerc’s battling perfor­

mance saw him take the che­ quered flag for the second week in a row while Hamilton dropped to third behind Mer­ cedes teammate Valtteri Bot­ tas. It was Ferrari’s first win at Monza since 2010.

Daniel Ricciardo took a sea­ son’s best fourth place in his Renault ahead of teammate Nico Hulkenberg in fifth. De­ spite starting eighth Red Bull’s Alex Albon ended up in sixth, ahead of the Racing Point of Sergio Perez, who just man­ aged to hold off Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who ended up eighth having started P19. Se­ bastian Vettel finished a distant 13th after spinning out of con­ tention early on.

Leclerc said about his win: “I think if you have to win one Grand Prix with Ferrari it’s the Italian Grand Prix. From the be­

ginning of the week it’s been absolutely crazy, I came here with my first win, and to win straight away the second one here in front of all the fans that have welcomed me extremely well after the first victory, is just unbelievable.”

“I did a few mistakes, but at the end I finished first, so­ very happy with this. But I need to be careful with the mistakes, obviously none of them made me lose position today,” he added.
