Costa Blanca Brit friendly THE uncertainty generated by the Brexit saga has prompted the Valencia regional government to launch a major promotional campaign focused on the British market.

Under the slogan ‘Always Brit Friendly,’ the campaign will aim to lure UK tourists by presenting the region as a hospitable and safe holiday destination.

Unveiling details of the promotional plans in Benidorm, Valencia region Tourism secretary Francesc Colomer revealed more than €300,000 will be invested in advertising in British newsapers, magazines and on TV and digital platforms between now and February 2020.

There is also an online strategy designed to improve the positioning and relevance

The Tourism secretary stressed the campaign was based on what he called “emotional bias,” aiming to “reinforce the empathy with the tourist as a fundamental element for sustaining the sector,” at the same time as giving out a “welcoming, friendly message” so the British feel “safe and worry-free in the Valencia Community.”

Colomer said he was convinced the campaign would be successful because “the British tourist adores Spain, the Costa Blanca, and very especially Benidorm.” The goal is that they “continue wanting to come,” he added.

Benidorm and Costa Blanca Business Association Secretary General Nuria Montes, who pointed out the campaign had been planned before the latest Brexit extension, said people were “tired of the Brexit effect and of so many calls of alarm,” and would continue with their holiday plans as normal. In fact she had good news for the sector, reporting a recent “slight increase” in reservations and a “positive” forecast for the winter season. The secretary general echoed Colomer’s comments that the campaign centred on sending British tourists the message they “will always be welcome.”

Summer temperatures in autumn IT felt more like summer than autumn in many areas of the Costa Blanca as temperatures got up into the late twenties over the weekend.

Making the weather feel even more unseasonal, night-time temperatures were above 21ºC. University of Alicante Climatology Laboratory professor and Spanish Geographers’ Association president Jorge Olcina said temperatures this high in November “are not common, but have happened.”

The last time was six years ago.

According to Olicana, Mediterranean autumns are “increasingly warmer” due to the influence of climate change.

FOOD AUCTION: The festival is popular in Moreda de Aller in Asturias.

Saint Martin festival THE festival of San Martín or the Humanitarians festival is one of the most popular autumn folklore celebrations, during the time when c ro p s a re s e e d e d a n d f a t tened cattle are slaughtered.

This international festivity celebrates Saint Martin of Tours, a Roman soldier known for his kindness and humanitarian beliefs, who later became a French bishop. Legend says he once cut his cloak in half to

share with a beggar during a snowstorm. That same night he dreamt of Jesus wearing his half cloak and telling the angels ‘Here is Martin, the Roman soldier who is now baptised, he has clothed me.’

His good humour and kind nature earned him the respect and admiration of his people. Nowadays, Saint Martin is considered protector of beggars and patron of soldiers.

This day is also known in some places as Old Hallowmas Eve and will be celebrated all over Europe

Emergency troubles SEA rescue will eliminate the emergency helicopter that gives assistance in Marina Alta. Budget cuts will mean that response time could go from 10 minutes to an hour in the next year. Maritime safety and rescue have announced that beginning in January 2020, their emergency helicopter will be moved to a base in Mallorca. This will mean slower responses to accidents and will consequently put people’s lives in danger. Members of PP in Denia have criticised the decision and spokesperson, María Mut, has announced an appeal at the municipal government. The political party will request the Generalitat works with sea rescue to ensure the safety of its citizens. PP in Denia consider that budget cuts cannot be justified if it means putting lives at risk.

The helicopter has provided assistance 24 hours 365 days of the year in Marina Alta, with a response time under 10 minutes. This aircraft also helps with maritime contamination and vigilance.

on November 11. In Spain, this tradition is mostly celebrated in Asturias and Galicia. The occasion begins with a song mass and is follow ed by par ades and dance groups. Food and agrarian products are auctioned and then people enjoy a ‘brotherhood’ meal of fabada, a typical white bean stew.

In Galicia, the slaughter of fattened pigs has given way to a popular saying ‘Every pig gets its St Martin,’ meaning everybody gets their comeuppance.

Drug seller caught POLICE arrested a suspected drug peddler in Alicante City.

Officers detained the 40-year-old after a patrol noticed the driver of a vehicle acting strangely when he realised there were police around.

A check on the police database revealed he had been arrested some months earlier for drug offences.

The driver reportedly appeared nervy and evasive the whole time officers were talking to him. When they frisked him they found a large amount of cash among his belongings.

A search of his vehicle led to the discovery of bags of single doses of narcotics, seemingly prepared for sale, hidden in several compartments.

Officers also found cocaine in the car ashtray, a number of doses of speed hidden in the driver’s side door trim and disguised ecstasy tablets in various hiding places, including under the gear stick.

MILLIONS of expectant viewers tuned in to Spanish television to watch the electoral debate on M o n d a y. W i t h e l e c t i o n s coming up on Sunday, November 10, the presidential candidates were keen to win over voters.

The five candidates fiercely defended their corners in a debate that lasted three hours. But many viewers were left disappointed after the contenders reverted to cheap shots and props.

Since elections in April, Spanish parties haven’t been able to form a coalition. Thus, resulting in yet another election, in which candidates already seem opposed to working together.

Pedro Sanchez, acting president for PSOE, moved slightly away from left-wing politics in a bid to win the centre vote. Leftwing politician and leader of Unidas Ponemos, Pablo Iglesias, rea s o n e d w ith th e pre s ide nt to join forces.

Immigration issues EMERGENCY services of the province of Alicante tackled their largest wave of immigrants arriving by sea in less than 48 hours last week.

They saw the arrival of 225 people, 92 of whom were rescued in Cartagena waters, but later transferred to Alicante. Six boats were initially intercepted, followed by another seven with 66 immigrants.

National Police managed to apprehend a number of the foreigners who had already reached Benidorm and officers were on the hunt for more.

According to sources, an emergency call was made at 18.49 warning of the children’s entrapment. Police and fire-

fighters were quick to arrive at the scene where they found that the keys were also locked inside the car. They proceeded to break the windows to gain access to the children who were rescued without injury or any major distress.

Cannabis club smoked out GUARDIA CIVIL have smoked out an illegal cannabis club operating on a San Vicente del Raspeig industrial estate, also used for drug sales.

The venue was reportedly kitted out with rest and study areas, slot machines and a bar for the young people who went there to consume and buy marihuana and hashish.

There was a counter displaying all kinds of substances, precision scales, prepared joints for smoking and other items related to drug

During a search of the premises Guardia officers seized a kilo of marihuana buds, 180 grammes of hash, cannabis oil and â‚Ź1,300 in cash.

Former Mayor convicted SOURCE: Youtube

7 - 13 November 2019

CONVICTIONS: Disclosure of information.

THE sentence of the long-running, Caso Comercio, will see the socialist Gabriel Echávarri Fernández as the first mayor of Alicante to be convicted in court for committing a crime.

After turning on his two expolitical predecessors, Luis Díaz Alperi and Sonia Castedo, as the alleged perpetrators of the crimes of disclosing privileged information by authority or official, bribery and influence during 2008 and 2010.

During this period it is re-

ported that they provided wellknown businessman, Enrique Ortiz, with beneficial information on municipal planning before it was public knowledge in exchange for luxury gifts such as holidays, cars and money among other things.

Both Alperi and Castedo face requests for 10 years in prison according to initial information registered by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor. Alperi was previously charged but acquitted of charges of tax fraud and bribery last July for events recorded between 2007 and

2010. According to sources, the ruling on Echávarri is not definite and will, in fact, be appealed until the last minute.

As it stands it imposes a penalty of eight and a half years of disqualification from public office but holds no jail term.

It is alleged that Ortiz was privy to information that allowed him to benefit from 25 different orders, including a contract for new signage of the municipal markets and the organisation of the Gala of Trade Awards netting him almost €200,000.

Pavilion proposal INDEPENDENT political party Gent de Dénia has initiated criticism regarding the neglected public sports pavilion which still sits in disrepair after being destroyed by the tornado in September.

A motion was granted for the future pavilion to be located on the municipal land next to the sports centre.

Reports suggest that the criticism asked why a public property had not received the same attention as a private tennis club which was already back up and running following the disaster. This has affected an estimated 2,000 users as the delay has caused all the sports clubs to relocate throughout the city.

The question has been asked if it is a matter of an insurance issue as el Consorcio de Compensación, who are in charge of the damage assessment, has requested that the insurer of the town hall must also give their expert opinion.

This response troubled Mario Vidal, the may-

or of Gent de Dénia, who then urged the local government to push this through.

Vidal went on to say that he will look for help from the Generalitat and Provincial Council, as the estimated cost for the work looks to be between three and four million euros.

The suggested location of the new pavilion looks to be a perfect spot as it means that the entire sports venue of Denia would be concentrated on one area alone.

IMPORTANT: The Diputacion President said sporting events of this kind help promote the province.

Revving up for rally SOME of the best rally drivers in Spain will be racing through 36 Alicante mountain municipalities tomorrow and Saturday in the fifth edition of the Rallye La Nucia-Mediterraneo.

The event is the penultimate race in this year’s Spanish Road Rally Championship, and organisers expect it to attract more than 160,000 spectators over the two days.

The Diputacion de Almeria is one of the rally collaborators, and last week the provincial administration hosted the presentation of the event at its headquarters, traditionally the race starting point.

Diputacion President Carlos Mazon, La Nucia mayor and provincial Sports Deputy Bernabe Cano, Motor Racing Interclubs Association Presi-

It will be made up of five sections with a 70kilometre radius, and a total distance of 520 kilometres, of which 152.60 will be timed.

The day will end at 9pm in the Camilo Cano Sport City with the trophy presentation ceremony.

Life-saving police action POLICE in Gandia took instant action when they found a young woman in cardiac arrest.

The two officers were first at the 33-year-old woman’s home after her sister called 091 for help.

One of the policemen applied CPR manoeuvres while the other called out a SAMU health team to get to the property as soon as possible.

The officer spent seven minutes trying to resuscitate the victim. Eventually she regained a pulse and started breathing again.

All the while the SAMU team were on the phone telling the officer to keep going until the health team arrived.

The health services also called on the fire service to get the woman out of the building via the terrace, after which she was rushed to the Francesc de Borja hospital.

Argument turns to vicious attack A WOMAN is under arrest on suspicion of a vicious attack on another reveller at a Denia night spot.

Police believe the detainee, reportedly a 32-year-old German, hit a woman in the face with a glass she was carrying in her hand after they got into an argument at the exit of a disco in the early hours of the morning, leaving the victim with serious cuts on her temple.

A police patrol in the area rushed to the scene following an alert from the 091 service. However the aggressor had made off by the time they got there.

The officers stayed with the injured woman and applied firstaid until a health team arrived and took her to hospital. She needed more than 30 stitches for the cuts. Investigations led to the identification of the suspect and her subsequent detention.

AGGRESSION: Police believe an exchange of words between two women turned violent.

Drug sales nipped in bud POLICE arrested eight members of the same family after uncovering four drug sales points in Gandia. The four men and four women, aged from 19 to 39, are suspected of belonging to a criminal organisation, according to reports. Police opened an investigation following a number of complaints by local residents about the climate of insecurity in their area and the concern created by the family members’ activities. Local people were concerned the family were selling drugs from their homes. Raids on the four properties resulted in the seizure of 90 grammes of marihuana buds, and more than €1,200 in cash.

Taking a stand on gender violence Benissa Council is taking a firm stand against genderbased violence.

THE local authority’s Eq u a l i t y d e p a r t m e n t h a s put together a full pro­ gramme of events and ac­ tivities for November to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on the 25th.

On the morning of Sat ­ urday 16 there will be the ‘balconies against vio­ lence’ initiative at the market between 11am and 1pm.

The following Saturday morning the MATRIA Vic­ tims’ Association will col­ laborate on the ‘vaccina­ tion against violence, again at the market.’

The Casas de Batlle will be the venue for an infor­

mative talk titled ‘You are not alone in Benissa in facing gender violence’ on Thursday 21.

On the actual Day for the Elimination of Vio­ lence Against Women there will be a grand demonstration against gender­based violence in the Plaza Jaume I at 7.30pm, followed by a themed performance by pupils from the Josep Iborra institute.

The council also invites local bars, restaurants and cafes to join a campaign of messages against gen­ der­based violence on serviettes and serviette holders throughout No­ vember.

Commenting on the pro­ gramme and the recent death of a woman in De­ nia, seemingly at the hands of her ex­partner, Benissa Equality councillor Lorena Ivars stressed “Public administrations must continue working to bring an end to this scourge.

“Symbolic acts are not sufficient,” the councillor added. “In the 25N demonstration we will al­ so demand of the central government, whatever its political colour, a budget commitment in regard to security and social ser­ vices, two important areas for stemming this sexist wave.”

A section of the Convent dels Mercedaris dome and part of the side walls came down last week, for causes which were unknown.

Go-ahead for Gandia regeneration project A REGEN ERATION plan for the Raval district of Gandia is set to go ahead.

Gandia mayor Diana Morant confirmed the Valencian government has selected the project as one of four from among 20 presented by local councils via the regional Housing ministry’s Areas of Regeneration and Urban Renewal Housing Plan programme.

Accompanied by deputy mayor and Town Planning councillor Josep Alandete and Raval District Council president and Urban Regeneration councillor Amparo Victoria, the mayor explained at a presentation that the project has now been published in the Generalitat Valenciana Official Journal.

It is, Morant commented, “very good news for Gandia in general and for the Raval district in particular.”

She explained that a total of €2.6 million will be spent on improvements to 106 properties and on regenerating public spaces in Raval. Of this amount, the Housing Ministry will contribute €1,245,000, the Valencia regional ministry €215,000 and the

local authority €300,000, while it is expected that the owners themselves will contribute some €800,000.

Referring to the latter, the mayor maintained the council will do “everything possible to establish financing mechanisms so this cost will be the most proportional and equitable possible.”

Gandia Council submitted the regeneration project to the Valencia region administration in May as part of what Morant said was the council’s aim “to make Gandia a more comfortable, welcoming accessible and friendly town in which property and the urban environment play an important role.”

She also pointed out the funding was the most the town had received for housing in the last decade.

The Urban Regeneration councillor underlined the fact that 80 per cent of the properties in Raval are more than half a century old and in need of renovation, while the deputy mayor stressed that renovation projects of this kind are important in helping to tackle climate change.

EU funding for public WiFi PEGO Council has secured European Union funding for the installation of WiFi in public spaces.

Posting on its Facebook page, the council maintained it was its speed in applying for the €15,000 of EU assistance which was ‘key’ to Pego being one of the only 148 municipalities in Spain to gain the financing. The local authority must now decide in which locations to install the wireless communication points. The EU awarded the subsidies on a first-come-firstserved basis. Pego claims it was one of the first municipalities in Spain to get its application in for what was the third edition of the WiFi4EU programme.

SPEEDY: Pego was one of the first municipalities in Spain to apply for the cash assistance.

Park care privatisation plan DENIA Council is looking at putting the maintenance of two of its park areas in the hands of a private company, Spanish press reported.

According to reports the council believes the municipal Parks and Gardens department staff are overstretched, making it difficult to keep outlying green areas like Montgo and Les

Marines as clean and well-maintained as they would like. The idea is therefore to put the maintenance of these two extensive zones out to tender next year.

The local authority’s overall aim is reportedly to improve the care of the close to 20 green areas in outlying districts of the municipality.

Emotional intelligence to tackle bullying SCHOOLCHILDREN are set to undergo training in emotional intelligence as part of a strategy to tackle bullying in Alicante Province’s schools.

In the third phase of the Diputacion de Alicante’s bullying prevention ‘Hero’ progamme, implemented through the Universidad Miguel Hernandez Criminal Centre, children aged between eight and 14 in three junior and three senior schools will take part in the emotional intelligence sessions.

Following an evaluation of the climate in the classroom and the impact of bullying, the pupils will be taken though five modules in two sessions, based on the provincial administration’s Hero School Bullying Prevention Guide, as a means of addressing the growing incidents of bullying in recent years.

Diputacion de Alicante Equality and Youth deputy Mari Carmen Jover said the fight against bullying was a priority for the administration.

She also said it was important to offer training to parents and teachers, allowing for “going into more depth into the definition of school bullying, the different profiles of the problem and the existing programmes, both prevention and intervention.”

The programme is, the Diputacion said, designed to promote values like equality, respect, social integration and non-violence. It seeks to equip young people with emotional and behaviour skills, create a positive school environment, establish how common bullying is in the province’s schools and provide parents and educators with resources.

The Diputacion launched the first phase of the programme in 2016 with direct intervention workshops with families and teaching professionals at the Familia Pedro Herrero Institute. Materials used in the workshops and the results of a study were published in the second phase. The result was a bullying prevention guide for the use of education centres.

Once the project is finalised the guide will be made available to all schools in the province.

Decent burial for dictatorship victims search of an area of the cemetery where it is believed that 62 men were shot between 1939 and 1940 and buried in a common grave.

Democractic Memory councillor Nahuel Gonzalez explained a ground-penetrating radar would be used to inspect the subsoil without the

need for excavations at this stage.

As and when remains are discovered, samples will be taken. The following stage would be the exhumation of the bodies.

A few months ago family members started the process of securing a proper burial for the 62

men, forming an association in order to work together.

Last Sunday at Denia cemetery there was the annual homage to the 52 Republicans from all over the Marina Alta shot there by Francoist troops between October and November 1939.

Cycle through the city A L I C A N T E ’s city council has added three more kilometres of bicycle tracks to the existing network.

In Via Parque, the 1.1-kilometre route extends from Avenida Isla Corfu to Calle Teulada while the 2.2-kilometre lane in Avenida de Denia begins at the Colegio Jesuitas and Calle Concha Espina as far as Calle Deportista Alejandra Quereda.

J os e R a mon G onz a le z , M obility c ounc illor e xplained that as a result, the Isla de Corfu track will now connect the Gran Via and Via Parque.

Gonzalez stressed the importance of spending money on extending the city’s bicycle tracks and lanes.

“This will encourage cycling and at the same time they can connect neighbourhoods, creating a network where it will be safe to ride a bike,” the councillor said.

Villajoyosa Council and the Moros Tuareg and Contrabandistas de la Vila fiesta companies are collaborating to centralise the area’s Christmas celebrations under the u m b r e l l a o f th e ‘L o s Reyes en la Marina Baixa’ initiative.

Derelict building jinxed

THE renovation of Torrecremada house in Denia has suffered another setback after no businesses applied for the contract to renovate the neglected building.

It seems as though the project to rehabilitate Torrecremada has been jinxed from the start. Since the Spanish government announced a budget for the property in 2007, nothing much has gone to plan. First, it completely vanished off ministerial planning when PP came into government in 2011.

The town hall then managed to get Alicante’s delegation to take on financing. But now, the opening called by the local council hasn’t caught the attention of any businesses, leaving the project in limbo.

Councillors have declared the tender to be void as no building companies applied for the €45,000 project.

Alicante’s provincial institution had committed to cover the costs over two years, in building works that would see the house and grounds completely overhauled. The town hall is now looking for a way to guarantee the funding for the property. Mayor, Vicent Grimalt, has explained they are studying the possibility of asking the Delegation for an extension. He also would like the opportunity to privately award the contract instead of holding a public contest for the job.

What to do in the event of an emergency 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 there are in effect two groups which most people would understand as being ‘the police.’ The National Police (Policía Nacional) who have jurisdiction in the towns and cities and the Guardia Civil outside the towns and cities. The Local Police are employed by town halls; they basically deal with property found, and enforce local laws.

Whilst they have a power of arrest, when exercised they must take the arrested person to the National Police or Guardia Civil according to where the crime took place.

National Police and the Guardia Civil deal with all crimes, missing persons etc in their jurisdiction. The National Police also deal with all applications for immigration paperwork, NIEs, EU Citizens Registration and for non EU nationals, Residencia, etc.

The 24 hours national emergency numbers for Spanish speakers are: 091 - police, 061 health emergencies 080 - firefighters.

By calling 902 102 112, but only when the perpetrator is unknown, one can give details of certain crimes, including:- burglaries, car theft, theft or loss of documents or belongings. The service is available in English from 9am to 9pm seven days a week, and from 9am to 3pm in French, German and Italian. Having given details of the crime, you must go to the National Police station which you nominate, within 48 hours to make the report using the information supplied on the telephone. In the case of robbery, where threat or force has been used, victims should call 112 at the time for police attendance, or go directly to the police station which covers that area to make a report.

091 or 902 102 112 from 9am to 9pm

Throughput Europe the general number for all emergencies is 112. In Spain the operators speak English, French, German and Italian, in addition to Spanish and will liaise with the emergency services when the caller does not speak Spanish. No area code is needed and the number can be called from any phone, including mobiles even those without a Spanish SIM card or any credit.

You can also fax or SMS 112.

Other useful number are:016, specifically to report instances of gender violence. For problems at sea, the Maritime Rescue Service (Salvamento Seguridad Maritmo) can be contacted by calling 900 202 202, and the Red Cross (Cruz Rojo) on 902 222 292. There is also a Red Cross 24-hour helpline 900 100 333.

FEATURE

Guarantors in rental contracts How to proceed to recover monies in court request and obtain from a t e n a n t i n S p a i n , i s a s o l­ vent third party guarantor for a number of reasons: 1. The personal guaran­

tee, depending on how it is worded in the contract, may mean that the guaran­ tor ranks jointly and sever­ ally alongside the main debtor (the tenant).

Thus, if the guarantor is solvent, his guarantee is not limited to a specific amount, but to the total amount that the tenant may owe, for example un­ paid rent or damages to the property, etc.

2. Another reason why it is attractive to obtain a third party to act as guar­ antor in leasing contracts, is that there is no initial cost for the guarantor, the lessor nor for the lessee.

Sometimes as an alterna­ tive, tenants are required to provide a possibly costly bank guarantee which may include leaving a deposit

with the bank or they may be required to make a re­ fundable deposit payment to the landlord of a num­ ber of months’ rent.

Such guarantees will re­ sult in a cost to the lessee or tenant, or the need to pay extra money, but when the risk is covered by a per­ sonal guarantor there will be no advance expenses or costs.

It is essential to obtain the advice of an expert Spanish lawyer when draft­ ing the personal guarantee clause in the letting con­ tract in order to ensure that the objective pursued by the parties is achieved.

Judicial Procedure for eviction following lack of payment The judicial procedure in re­ spect of eviction for non­pay­

ment has numerous peculiari­ ties and requirements which are anticipated and covered in the Civil Procedure Law (LEC).

Although the general rule is that no other claim can be ac­ cumulated or added to the le­ gal action for eviction and claim of amounts due, it is al­ lowed to claim against the guarantors within the same eviction action for non­pay­ ment.

This is specifically indi­ cated in article 437.4.3 of t h e L EC , w h i c h c o n f i r m s that actions may be taken against personal guaran­ tors, provided that they have been requested to make payment in advance of the action.

If therefore, you have to file a court claim for evic­ tion due to non­payment against your tenants and

also against the personal guarantors (if such has been included in your con­ tract), do not forget to pre­ sent the formal demand for payment to the guaran­ tors prior to the filing of the claim.

Therefore, if you wish to receive expert legal advice on lease contracts in Spain, find out how to be sure of recovering costs when the tenant cannot pay the rent, the inclusion of per­ sonal guarantors in con­ tracts and how to claim for eviction of lack of payment through the courts, con­ tact us.

The information provid­ ed in this article is not in­ tended to be legal advice, it simply transmits infor­ mation related to legal is­ sues.

A CUBAN stood trial in the Alicante High Court, accused of robbing an Alfaz hotel disguised as Father Christmas.

He allegedly climbed the hotel façade and entered the hotel via a balcony at 3.15am on January 21 in 2011.

Two other people, one of whom also wore a Father Christmas costume, were also linked to robbery but have never been identified, the court heard.

According to Fiscalia (the Public Prosecution department), after entering the hotel the trio went to reception where they hit the receptionist, holding a firearm to his head as they handcuffed him.

Threatening to kill him unless he revealed where the money was kept, they opened three wall safes, making off with €17,000 in cash, two books of lottery tickets, four GPS devices and wireless microphones.

After taking the keys of the receptionist’s car and leaving him still handcuffed, they fled in his vehicle.

The hotel employee managed to alert the hotel owner’s son who was staying in one of the rooms who contacted the Guardia Civil, leading to the defendant’s arrest.

If found guilty, he faces an eight-and-ahalf year prison sentence, and must repay €19,215 to the hotel-owner in compensation for the stolen cash and electronic items.

ANNIVERSARY: Norwegian and Spanish guests exchange flowers.

Volunteer group’s 10th anniversary THE Frivilligsentralen Costa Blanca Nord volunteer group celebrated its 10th anniversary in Alfaz this week.

All local Norwegian institutions attended the event at Albir’s Sun Palace Hotel, as well as Alfaz’s local authorities, headed by the mayor Vicente Arques and councillors Mayte Garcia, Martine Mertens and Marisa Cortes.

Down to business LABORA, the region’s Employment and Training Service, chose Alfaz to host its first business breakfast.

The breakfasts will analyse the Marina Baja labour market and maintain close contact with Local Development Agencies, business associations, businesspeople and start-ups for first-hand information regarding their needs and what they are interested in.

The meetings will also put business-owners with the services that LABORA provides regarding contracts, training and job creation.

The first the Desdejunio amb l’Espai Labora (Breakfast with Labora) was attended by Alfaz’s Employment councillor Dolores Albero as well as representatives from businesswomen’s association MEMBA, including its president Maria Jose Tent, and Irene Saez and Juan Antonio Bernabeu from Labora.

Partido Popular spokeswoman Rocio Gomez revealed that “many parents” had complained about the paediatric service at the health centre in Altea’s Old Town.

“At first they thought a doctor was off sick but it now looks as though they have removed one of Altea’s four paediatricians,” Gomez said.

HEALTH CENTRE: No reduction in paediatricians.

“Altea has the three paediatricians it has always had,” Santonja said. “Furthermore, it is the only town in the area where the health centre has gained a family doctor and

two nurses.”

Health councillor Jose Luis Leon Gascon confirmed Santonja’s statement and declared that Altea’s Partido Popular “manipulated, jumbled topics

and invented non-existent complaints.”

Although Gomez insisted there were four paediatricians at the health centre when the Partido Popular controlled the town hall, Gascon replied that there have only ever been three full-time paediatricians with another part-time locum.

The councillor also pointed out that there was no health centre in the Old Town, only a surgery.

Neither did the town hall have the power to install or remove health centre doctors.

“Only the regional Health department can do that,” Gascon said.

A NEW concessionar y, Specialised Services in Artistic Distribution (SEDA), is now running Altea’s Palau auditorium.

CALPE’S Tourism department recently attended the World Travel Market in London, regarded as globally the most important tourism trade fair.

The local delegation went with the objective of maintaining Calpe’s high profile on the British tourism market as Britons, together with the Germans, remain Calpe’s principal international clients.

As Brexit looms, the town hall’s Tourist department intends to intensify its efforts to ensure that there is no reduction in British tourism.

The department’s representatives were in direct contact with British travel agencies and tour operators at the

TRAVEL MARKET: World’s most important tourism fair.

World Travel Market, paying particular attention to those that include Calpe in their cycling tourism brochures.

Although the 2019 tourist season could still be regarded as satisfactory, maintaining levels of demand despite

the ‘turbulent environment’ of Brexit and the collapse of Thomas Cook, the Tourism department was aware of the need ‘to redouble efforts’ to promote Calpe in its traditional market, municipal sources said.

Now hear this with guest speakers CALPE’S fourth Innovative Communication Meeting will be held on November 16 with guest speakers Josef Ajram and Maria Jesus Such Devesa.

Investor and writer Ajram will discuss Donde esta el limite? (Where is the limit?) based on his personal experiences and revealing the secrets of personal motivation and self-improvement. Such Devesa, lecturer in Applied Economics at the University of Alcala will speak on ‘Knowledge and innovation, the keys to digital disruption in tourism.’ The meeting begins at 9.30am at Suitopia-Sol y Mar Suites on November 16.

EXTREME WEATHER: Calpe has suffered flooding in the past.

Flood plain warning THE Marina Alta was re cently subjected to two bouts of extreme weather conditions in the same month.

The ‘gota fria’ or what Spanish meteorologists now prefer to call an Isolated High-level Depression (DANA) habitually occurs in late summer and autumn but owing to climate change, these are now more frequent.

A Sustainability Observatory (OS) report warned not long ago that the Marina Alta is one of 15 Spanish hotspots susceptible to flooding.

The coast between Javea and Valencia City has more vulnerable urban zones than any other area in Spain, found the OS, which also mentioned Calpe.

The OS pointed out that tourism has produced ‘important developments’ in areas clearly at risk from flooding without taking this into account.

The OS findings coincided with claims

from Calpe’s Cultural-Ecologist Association (ACEC) which warned that the 606bed hotel due to be built in the El Saladar district is located on a site prone to flooding and has a vulnerable ecosystem.

This appears to have been overlooked when the Italian company AR Hotels was given planning permission to build the two 35-storey blocks near Calpe’s salt beds, the association said.

The ACEC acknowledged that the hotel’s location does not theoretically prevent it from being built, so long as special measures including reinforced foundations are taken.

But whether or not the two blocks are finally constructed depends on the Valencia region’s Upper Court of Justice following an appeal from Opposition councillors.

This was not based on the hotel’s location, but the fact that it exceeded the permitted volume of construction based on the size of the site.

Another concessionary CALPE Town Hall slapped a €6,500 fine on the company contracted to mark out swimming areas on the local beaches.

The Beaches department complained that the concessionary neglected to put up notices identifying the swimming channels and failed to mark out the adapted swimming zone for the disabled.

Later, when the marker buoys at the Arena Bol beach were wrenched loose during bad weather last July the department was unable to locate anyone from the company to alert them to the damage.

According to the town hall, two of the errors could be classed as ‘grave’ and another as ‘minor’ incurring a fine of €6,502.

This would be deducted from the future payments that the town hall makes to the compa-

ny, municipal sources said.

This was the second time that a concessionary was fined this summer, after the beach-cleaning company failed to remove piles of seaweed washed up during the July storms.

This was still there two days after the Beaches department contacted the concessionary, eventually earning the company a €6,000 sanction.

Lots of fish for supper THE fish farm off Calpe is one of 16 in Alicante that raise 5,000 tons of seabream each year.

Over the last two years the output of the local fish farm and others off Moraira, Altea, Campello, Guardamar and Pilar de la Horadada has increased by 10 per cent, according to Apromar, the association that represents Spanish producers.

The Valencian Community’s aquiculture sector produces more marine fish than any other Spanish region, followed by Murcia, the Canary Islands, Andalucia and Galicia.

The Community raises and sells an annual 15,000 tons of farmed fish, producing more seabream, eels and bass than any other region. It is also the third most-important producer of seabass, Apromar announced.

Experts and producers explain that the Mediterranean off the Alicante coast is ideal for producing seabream which needs a temperature that ranges from 18 to 24 degrees.

With local sea temperatures varying from 11 to 28 degrees, Calpe’s fish farm and others along the Alicante coast can be in production seven months a year, they said.

AS election day approaches, the Opposition on Calpe Council has local mayor Ana Sala in their sights.

Following censure for her criticism of acting president, Pedro Sanchez, the PSOE socialists claimed that public money could have been used to fund last May’s municipal election campaign.

The party suggested this could be why the mayor refused to give access to the town hall bills when the PSOE requested these last September.

Until then these were accessible to councillors from the Town Clerk’s office but since electronic billing was introduced, there is only a virtual registration system.

Sala has continued to refuse to make bills available, claiming that allowing the Opposition to access these would be ‘excessively general and indiscriminate.’

Socialists hit back CALPE’S branch of the PSOE socialists responded quickly to local mayor Ana Sala’s criticism of acting national president, Pedro Sanchez.

Following the exhumation and relocation of Franco’s remains from the Valle de los Caidos, Sala described Sanchez as a “profaner of tombs” while accusing him of sacrilege and atheism on Facebook.

A local party communique declared that Sala’s words prompted a feeling of ‘vicarious, second-hand embarrassment’ on her behalf.

Someone who represented the entire municipality should not opt for ‘minority nostalgia’ that did not benefit the town, the PSOE said.

Monsters, myths and local legends Photo credit: Teulada town hall

ALL SAINTS: Teulada-Moraira children go back to the past.

AS Spain increasingly embraces the monsters of other cultures, Te u l a d a M o r a i r a ’s c h i l d r e n were recently reminded of their own.

The itinerant exhibition ‘El nostres monstres en la cultura popular ’ recently visited Teulada’s municipal library and finished with an outing to Te ula da ’s O ld Q ua rte r a nd a n outdoors storytelling session.

This took the children in-

to the world of the Valencia Region’s monsters and bogeymen as they got to know the streets of the Old Quarter a little better and their own myths and legends.

They l ear ned about t he snake named Sancha, that made friends with a shepherd boy who lived between the Albufera, the freshwater lagoon on the outskirts of Valencia City and the sea.

They were told about the Monovar cave which was the home of another snake

t hat par al ysed t hose who saw her with a single glance and El Car o, a dem oni c creature with the body of an owl and a man’s head who was once feared in La Marina, Mariola, Alcoy, El Comtat and Safor.

The initiative was another way of i nt r oduci ng t he young to their own popular legends and the importance of All Saints which is now over shadowed by Hal loween, the town hall explained.

Getting the needle TEULADA-MORAIRA’S flu campaign has now begun.

The local health department advised all those who are eligible to visit the local health centres for jabs.

This means the over-65s, those with chronic complaints, pregnant woman, public sector personnel and those working with children or the elderly.

It is also important to be vaccinated each year as flu strains change from year to year.

Shock death on local road A 24-YEAR-OLD Teulada-Moraira resident died after his motorcycle was in a head-on collision with a car.

The crash occurred at 12.30pm on the Cami del Pouet del Moro but although Emergency Services revealed that the driver of the vehicle

was uninjured, no further details of the accident have been revealed.

The news of the young man’s death profoundly shocked the local population as he was well-known and prominent in the Moraira fiestas.

MORE than 60 volunteers answered a call to help clean Moraira’s beaches.

They removed 100 kilos of rubbish and litter of all kinds from the shore and sea in an initiative organised by the Environment and Tourism departments, together with the municipally-owned Teumo rubbish collecting service.

Environment councillor Carlos Martinez said beforehand that both the departments involved, as well as Teumo, hoped that the event would achieve more than a clean-up.

The participants met at the

Castillo on the Moraira, later splitting up to scour the principal beaches.

The majority did their stint of rubbish collection on land, but

others removed plastics and other refuse from a boat provided by the SVS emergency rescue service while others used paddle boards.

Dressing the part TOMORROW, Friday November 8, Isabel Marti is giving a talk on traditional fiestas costumes. This has been organised by the Fiestas department in collaboration with the San Vicente Ferrer fiestas committee and will be held in the Council Chamber at Teulada Town Hall at 8pm.

The talk is particularly aimed at the men and women who, during the 2020 San Vicente Ferrer celebrations, intend to wear traditional Valencian dress, based on the clothing worn in the region in the 18th century.

Three concerts for Santa Cecilia AS it does each year, Teulada-Moraira honours Santa Cecilia, patroness of musicians, with concerts and recitals.

These commence on Saturday, November 9, with chamber music from Amalgama Sonor and soloists from the Agrupacion Musical Cultural de Teulada (AMCT) at 7pm in the Teulada-Moraira Auditorium. Tickets cost €7. On Friday, November 15, there will be a concert by the youth band from Javea’s Centro Artistico Musical and the ACMT’s youth band at 8pm in the Auditorium. Entry is free.

This is followed on Saturday by the ACMT’s Santa Cecilia concert at 7pm, again in the Auditorium. Tickets cost €7.

The celebrations come to an end the next day, Sunday November 17, with mass in honour of Santa Cecilia followed by a procession through the streets.

Javea NEWS Anchored in the past THE Soler Blasco museum recently revealed the results of underwater excavations in Portitxol bay.

Findings confirmed that the ancient port contains some of the Valencian Community’s richest submerged remains, said Ximo Bolufer, Javea’s municipal archaeologist who was accompanied by fellow-archaeologists Jordi Blazquez and Alejandro Perez.

Also present were Corporal Angel Montero and Warrant Officer Antonio Garcia from the Guardia Civil’s Special Subaquatic Activities Group (GEAS) who specialise in preventing plundering at underwater archaeological sites and took an active part in the survey.

Diver Roberto Garcia who is familiar with this section of seabed contributed by locating remains and discouraging looters.

The archaeologists described the Portitxol bay as ‘incredible and impressive’ owing to the anchors and pottery they have located.

Twenty of the 40 anchors found have been dated and were placed at between 2,000 and 500 years old, demonstrating the

bay’s centuries-old importance as an anchorage and its inclusion on commercial routes.

The archaeologists drew attention to two anchors dating from the Moorish occupation and another of Greek origin which have been removed to protect them from looters.

Eventually it is hoped to convert this section of seabed into an underwater museum

so that its archaeological wealth can be seen in context.

To make the site accessible to non-divers, there would also be a virtual recreation of the finds in the museum itself.

“When we recover our history and our past we are working for the future,” said Javea’s mayor Jose Chulvi as he thanked the Museum team and all the collaborators, particularly the GEAS and Guardia Civil.

Rescue op for Sant Bertomeu EMERGENCY work is to be carried out at Javea’s Sant Bertomeu church.

Earlier this year the regional government’s Culture department agreed to repairs and the town hall has now given permission to carry out the necessary renovation.

The deteriorated 16th century Valencian Gothic church needs cracks sealed and be-

cause of its leaking roof, pews had to be covered with plastic sheeting during the torrential rains of last September.

The belfry steps are worn, its floorboards are broken and a gargoyle has been tethered to the tower with ties to prevent it from breaking away entirely and falling to the ground.

Sant Bertomeu was a fortress-church, built to protect

the town against pirate incursions, is now classed as an Asset of Cultural Importance (BIC) although in 1932 the Republican government declared it a National Artistic Monument.

The Church authorities must now organise funding for the €500,000 project drafted by Salvador Vila, architect-conservator of Valencia Cathedral.

Temporary lights out COPPER thieves have struck again, leaving two Javea urbanisations without street lighting.

Residents of the Cansalades Park and Villes del Vent residential areas on the edge of the protected Granadella land were unaware that the thieves had swooped during the night.

No-one was any the wiser until builders working on the sites of the numerous houses now under construction in the area saw how thieves had broken open streetlights and ripped out cables.

The residents themselves were unaware until their streets remained dark after the sun went down.

The theft was reported to the Local Police and it is now the responsibility of the town hall to replace ‘many metres’ of copper wire and restore the streetlights to working order.

This was not the first time that copper thieves targeted Villes del Vent, as they stripped as much as they could when work was halted on the luxury urbanisation after the 2008 economic crisis hit the property sector.

Not only was copper in their sights, but also the iron manhole covers which found ready buyers in scrap dealers who were prepared not to ask too many questions.

The EU’s WiFi4EU programme offers free and good quality internet connections for residents and visitors and requires town halls to keep the network active for at least three years The grant has been made to cover the cost of equipment and installing the wi-fi access points although the town hall will have to pay for connectivity and upkeep.

The building was restored and inaugurated in 2007 as a municipal exhibition room, but the columns are now threatened by rust from the building’s steel frame structure.

Call for change THOUSANDS of people mainly women across Spain have taken to the streets in considerably large demonstrations after five men who took turns to have sex with an unconscious 14-year-old girl were cleared of raping her.

A court in Barcelona decided to convict the men of a lesser count of sexual abuse because they did not use violence or intimidation and it has sparked utter outrage all over Spain.

Monday night as the word spread of the ruling across the country as James Warren of the EWN reported and other media channels followed demonstrators hit the streets and started protesting in various cities demanding a change in the law.

In the capital city Madrid thousands of people gathered at the gates of the ministry of justice demanding action.

DEMONSTRATING: Thousands have taken to the streets.

Banners and flags made by the protesters displayed their sentiment as they read ‘I do believe you!’ and ‘It’s not abuse, it’s rape.’

Meanwhile Spain’s deputy prime minister waded into the war of words and said “It is a priority of the Spanish government to change the law to make it clear that consent is necessary for sexual relations to occur legally.”

His efforts to the cause though could hit a snag as Spain has its general election

on Sunday this week and the powers to be could change and have different views.

Although the voting will not stop those protesters who want serious change to the law whoever is in power.

It’s expected more protests will follow as the campaign continues and gathers pace on social media. #EnoughPatriarchalJustice is the hashtag being used across all platforms by the campaigners which is swelling in numbers of support.

Coffin mixup sorted just in time A COFFIN mix-up at a M a d r i d f u n e r a l p a rlour was sorted out just before it was too late.

It was when the car going t o E x t re m a d u r a stopped before reaching

Initially it was feared that one of the three may have gone into cardiorespiratory arrest, but hospital sources say all three are recovering well after suffering blackouts, although one has no recollection of the event. The two men and one woman, all members of the Armoured Cavalry Regiment ‘Montesa,’ were doing a test mandatory in the armed forces for all units of battalion strength.

Other entities that endorse the decision are Malaga University, the College of Architects and Icomos. Two lines of action have been opened to begin the process: one by university professors and another by the town hall.

Both propositions confirm the social and institutional support that exists to protect the historic construction. In 2017, the waterfront building marked its 200th anniversary since it was erected. Malaga University has already reached out and gained direct backing from the National Council for International Monuments and Places, the Andalucian Territorial Delegation and many academies and colleges.

The motion has gained unanimous support and will proceed as a positive initiative for Malaga.

A BUS has been doing the rounds in Almeria to promote healthy habits and a balanced lifestyle.

The Agriculture, Fishing and Food Ministry ‘Gastrobus Mediterraneo’s tour was aimed at encouraging the consumption of foods which feature as part of a Mediterranean diet and doing some kind of moderate exercise every day.

The 70sqm vehicle is equipped with audiovisual projection areas and a space for nutrition workshops, training and tastings.

The bus incorporates the ‘#alimentosdespaña’ strategy image, which focuses on spreading the work about the quality and variety of Spanish produce given the importance of the national agro-food and fishing sectors.

The strategy objective is, the government Sub-delegation said, “to channel synergies between food and other economic sectors, from tourism and gastronomy to health and sport.

“Food based on the Mediterranean diet can in this way become a solid cultural, economic and social development connection, as well as being a key factor in good health.”

WORK has started to renovate 380 metres of the La Mata promenade at a cost of €850,000.

Mayor of Torrevieja, Eduardo Dolon and councillor for Beaches, Antonio Vidal, attended to see the work, which is being done by Coastal Authority Costas, start.

The overall action will transform the promenade, which has 5,400 sqm of paved area, and will be very similar to a section renovated in 2017 in front of the Molino Blanco Urbanisation.

The works will involve the demolition of the old wall and the construction of another one made of reinforced concrete to avoid damage caused by storms.

Deteriorated wooden planks and the current lampposts will be removed and the entire stretch of promenade will be repaved and have a stainless steel railing installed. The work is expected to take four to five months, which the mayor ‘hopes’ will mean it is complete by Easter 2020.

THE Town Hall of Marratxi has announced its plans to build a new railway theme park in the neighbourhood.

Backing a proposal from the Mallorca Steam Railway Club, the Town Hall has given the go ahead for the theme park to be constructed on 25,000 m2 of land that lies between Festival Park and Bauhaus.

Some of the features of the park will include level crossings, bridges, a turntable and a tunnel. There will also be a museum for railway and industrial equipment, includinga 1919 Baldwin steam locomotive.

The first phase of the project will involve building a station and depot, whilst laying two-thirds of the track which is expected to be completed during the second phase, when viaducts will be added.

The Mallorca Steam Railway Club will be in charge of the park’s activities, whilst the Town Hall will be responsible for maintenance, electricity, water and its insurance contract.

Road safety course for schools AROUND 700 students from schools around Rincon de la Victoria have taken part in road safety courses throughout October.

The courses have been organised by the Local Police force and are aimed at teaching children aged between eight and 10 the importance of road safety.

The courses will be run three days a week in 10 schools in the municipality, with the first course being held at the CEIP Professor Tierno Galvan de Rincon de la Victoria.

They are designed to give children a greater understanding of potential situations involved with road use, both as a pedestrian and as a future driver or bike rider.

ROAD SAFETY: The courses have been organised by the Local Police.

A MUTILATED model of a famous statue of a prosti­ tute in Amsterdam’s red­light district has been with­ drawn from an exhibition, after sex workers com­ plained that it could incite violence and increase stigmatisation.

Bad Brexit A REPORT in a Dutch newspaper suggests that if Brexit does occur then the Dutch contribution to the EU could jump from €8 billion to €13 over the next five years as the Union looks to replace Britain’s contribu­ tion.

Bike App

A YOUNG man who pretended to be a se­ nior police officer in the town of Leuven was arrested after demanding the ID of a man he saw urinating in the streets. The man he spoke to was also charged with an offence.

HAVING had his bike stolen in Brussels, a Belgian man turned to the Find My Bike app in the hope of finding it. Eventually, he received a report saying that it was in Hun­ gary and soon after Albania, where it is now waiting for him to collect.

Forgetful

New border

CLOCKS in Europe were put back one hour to mark the change from summer to winter time, but a German rail operator forgot to do so in the main Munich station, causing complete confusion for passengers.

A NORDIC COUNCIL summit in Stockholm saw leaders from Denmark, Norway and Iceland agree to sign a new border agreement that will mean an expansion of the Danish area off the Faroes and will see a redesign of the world map.

MOURNERS at a funeral in northern Germany were accidentally served hash cake and 13 people complained about nausea and dizziness. An employee’s daughter had baked two cakes and served the wrong one at the wake.

PERHAPS Donald Trump’s offer to buy Greenland wasn’t as ridiculous as it seemed as in 1917, Den­ mark sold three West Indian possessions to the US for $25 million (€22.5 million) in gold coin, after which they were renamed the US Virgin Islands.

Merger talks

Fare dodger

FIAT CHRYSLER has confirmed that it is holding talks about a merger with PSA, the owner of French car brands including Peugeot and Citroën. Such a tie up would create the world’s fourth­largest carmak­ er.

HAVING been spotted by inspectors as trav­ elling without a ticket, a man decided that rather than pay the €50 fine he would run off along the tracks of the metro in Paris.

Trains were halted for half an hour before he was caught.

Roads closed

Welfare scandal

EARLY snow combined with a number of lightning strikes caused a series of road accidents on the west coast near Gothenburg which resulted in road closures and a bus without passengers veering off the road into a ditch.

SINCE 2012, Norway’s state welfare agency NAV appears to have wrongly accused and had convicted a number of people who travelled abroad while receiving benefits without permission, even though EU law allows it.

No thanks

Speed trap

SWEDISH teen Greta Thunberg has decided to reject the Nordic Council’s environmental award of some €46,000 saying that “the climate movement does not need any more awards.”

Whilst thanking the council, she said that people in power need to listen.

WHEN Norwegian police set up a new speed camera inside an Oslo tunnel, they expected that a number of motorists would be caught for driving too fast. They were amazed when some 2,700 drivers were caught exceeding the 70kph speed limit.

Expansion plans for Dia

THE Spanish supermarket chain Dia has just announced that it has plans to expand and wants to fol­ low the lead of its Russian counter­ part in order to become market leader.

It shares an owner and President (Stephan Du Charme), with Russian chain X5 Retail which was only founded in 1995 but now has an annual turnover in excess of €21.5 billion.

The Russian success compares to Dia which has faced losses over the past 18 months, but with a new business plan about to be initiated it has high hopes for the future.

Repsol results looking good RECOGNISED as the most successful oil company in Spain, Repsol record­ ed a profit of €1.466 billion for the first nine months of the year and wants to use €1.2 billion for divi­ dends.

The actual gross profit is down 32 per cent from the previous year but that figure included significant capi­ tal gains from sales and this in­ cludes a decrease in the value of oil stock held.

The adjusted figure therefore shows it’s just €100 million (5 per cent) down on 2018 which is a good

By John Smith result when compared to other in­ ternational oil companies such as BP and Total.

Whilst oil extraction and explo­ ration have seen a slow­down (thanks in part to problems in Libya), the other area of the business which includes refining as well as sales of gas and electricity are looking very strong proving that diversification can be good for the balance sheet.

The other area which is very encour­ aging is the growth of operating cash flow which is up by 22 per cent to a

very significant €4.074 billion, mean­ ing that the underlying business is both thriving and secure. This is why, shareholders can expect that the 2020 dividend could total €1 per unit held in a combination of cash and shares and some of this is thanks to the decision of the board for a 5 per cent amortization of existing share capital.

Looking forward, it is increasing its ability to generate electricity from wind and solar power and looks to break the electricity cus­ tomer base of one million soon.

LEGALLY SPEAKING Who is responsible?

I am the vice president of a gated community with 58 apartments. Outside the gates, we each have bought a garage space for which we all pay a community charge. Some owners, through oil leaks from their cars, have caused holes in the as­ phalt, and two owners have large dips due to subsi­ dence. As the flats are 20 years old we have no comeback on the builders. Who is liable for the dam­ age done by oil leaks and subsidence in the car park­ ing area?

B C (Costa Blanca) My im­ pression is that your garage YOU AND THE spaces are in fact LAW IN SPAIN the property of the community, with exclusive use assigned to the individual owners. Normally, the holders of this use are held liable for the upkeep for such spaces, so this would make the individuals responsible for damage caused by oil leaks from their cars.

The subsidence, however, is structural and liability would probably fall on the community. We urge you to consult a local lawyer in order to make absolutely sure because some community regulations can specify otherwise.

Profits down AIRLINE group IAG which owns Aer Lingus, BA, Iberia and Vueling has revealed that the recent strike by pi­ lots at British Airways in September cut its profits during the third quar­ ter of this year.

Willie Walsh, IAG Chief Executive Officer, said: “In quarter three we’re reporting an operating profit of €1,425 million before exceptional items, down from €1,530 million last year.

“These are good underlying re­ sults. As we said in September, our performance has been affected by industrial action by pilots’ union BALPA and other disruption includ­ ing threatened strikes by Heathrow airport employees.”

BUSINESS EXTRA Vegetarian Butcher EARLIER this year, multinational Unilever purchase the Vegetarian Butcher company and is now to launch the concept in Spain.

Initially it will only supply businesses with the meat substitute, but if this proves popular it will roll out to consumers.

Take over CANADIAN aircraft manufacturer Bombardier has sold its Northern Ireland operation which employs 3,600 people to US firm Spirit AeroSystems for nearly €1.12 billion. Looking to increase its work with Airbus, the American company is also taking the Moroccan arm of Bombardier.

Lloyds hit DUE to a bad third quarter where it paid out €2 billion in compensation for the mis-selling of PPI, Lloyds Bank has now repaid a total of €22 billion. Overall profits for 2019 so far have fallen 40 per cent to €3 billion.

Two car giants merge AS anticipated, the PSA and FCA Groups of car manufacturers have announced their merger which will mean they become the fourth largest producer of cars in the world.

Between them, they produce more than 11 brands including Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën and Opel as well as a number of commercial vehicles.

The decision was made in order to increase ef­ ficiency and reduce costs by up to €3.7 billion as

rationalisation takes place.

Spain has quite an efficient manufacturing base and produces PSA models in Vigo, Zaragoza and Madrid whilst FCA has no manufacturing base in the country but it is known that their Ital­ ian sites are not particularly cost effective.

The Spanish operation has been completely overhauled in the last 24 months and has turned out high volumes with significant cost reductions.

Euro EUR/GBP: Down from £0.89 to £0.86 EUR/USD: Up from $1.09 to $1.10 Trade in the euro was mixed in October as positive Brexit news clashed with persistently gloomy data and fears of a looming reces­ sion in Germany.

The tone of Eurozone data has remained overwhelmingly nega­ tive over the past couple of months, with lacklustre inflation and PMI figures applying pressure to the single currency.

However, in taking some cues from Brexit in October the euro was still able to eke out some modest support, with hopes that the UK would avoid a no­deal sce­ nario buoying EUR sentiment.

We expect the single currency to follow a similar trend through November, with confirmation that

Currency outlook: Pound surges on Brexit progress, US dollar slumps

BREXIT JITTERS: Driving GBP exchange rates to new multi-year lows.

Germany entered a recession in the third quarter being offset by lingering Brexit optimism.

Pound GBP/EUR: Up from €1.12 to €1.15 GBP/USD: Up from $1.22 to $1.28

October was dominated by a dramatic jump in the pound, with the currency roaring back to life as a result of positive progress in Brexit.

This came as Boris Johnson miraculously managed to secure a

new Brexit deal from the EU ­ a surprising development given pre­ vious reports that talks were on the verge of collapse.

However, Johnson has strug­ gled to get his new deal over the finishing line, with the PM forced to request another Brexit exten­ sion after he failed to get MPs to back the deal. Sterling stalled in the latter half of the month as a result.

Looking ahead, with Brexit de­ layed but unresolved and the threat of a general election loom­ ing, it looks like we’re all set for another period of uncertainty. This may take its toll on the pound through the remainder of 2019.

US Dollar USD/GBP: Down from £0.81 to £0.77

USD/EUR: Down from €0.91 to €0.90 The US dollar was charac­ terised by broad weakness over the past month as a risk­on mood prevailed, limiting demand for the safe­haven ‘Greenback.’

This came amidst positive Brexit headlines and US­China trade optimism, with the two powers coming close to finalising a preliminary trade deal.

However, the US dollar also faced pressure on the domestic front, with a sharp slowdown in the US manufacturing sector firming expectations of an Octo­ ber rate cut from the Federal Re­ serve.

Going forward, the US dollar will face further pressure in the coming weeks if US data contin­ ues to print poorly.

LEAPY LEE SAYS IT OTHERS THINK IT WELL, here we go again. Back on the ‘campaign trail’! Dontcha just wish they were all back on the ‘Old Chisolm Trail’ and disappearing over the horizon - forever?

They are all liars, generally by blatant omis­ sion. One truth you can be assured of is that when you hear a politician tell you something has been made ‘absolutely clear,’ you can bet your bottom dollar it’s about as clear as a pea soup’er at midnight.

No, the only clarity to emerge from this lot is that they are a bunch of self­indulgent, incom­ petent, immature con merchants, interested in nothing further than the preservation of their own utterly worthless skins and unworthy to even represent a flagpole ­ leave alone the flags that adorn them.

Come back Mr Fawkes, all is forgiven. To think in days of yore we actually looked up to this rabble, believing they were the undis­ putable champions of our once great country?

How blindly we followed their decisions and ‘leadership’ and were utterly convinced that mere mortals like us could never hope to under­ stand the workings of ‘The House’ with its proud history and pomp, which has endured over hundreds of years.

Oh for a Winston

POLITICIANS: Terrified of standing up to political correctness and cultural threats.

Well we do now. Our present day politicians are all a bunch of disgraceful juvenile cess pit dwellers. They are in fact the traitorous and highly dangerous ‘enemy within.’ Most of them would rather side with our opponents than risk losing their privileged positions or a few votes.

They are terrified of standing up to the politi­

cal correctness, cultural threats and the ever in­ creasing denial of freedom of speech, which threatens to stifle today’s ingenious GB citizens.

As far as this ol’ boy is concerned I’ve never ac­ tually respected any of them. Consequently I’ve never voted in my life.

Only this week there was yet another exam­

ple of their incompetence and arrogant under­ estimation of our intelligence. The Labour con­ tingency has been ranting on about lowering the voting age to 16. This is of course a blatant effort to gain votes from naive youngsters who have never lived under the left, are impressed

by Corbyn’s rhetoric and promises of free hand­ outs and consequently a mite easier to con than many of their adult compatriots. ‘Young people of today are perfectly capable of making deci­ sions and taking actions that may affect their fu­ ture’, the left blathers on.

They are of course the same lot who are try­ ing to return the Daesh bride Shamima Begum to the UK, because she was ‘too young to know what she was doing!’ Get my drift? Nope. Sorry folks, you simply can’t trust, or believe anything that any of them say.

Even the so called ‘deal’ that Johnson keeps on about still leaves us firmly entwined with his power mad fellow cronies across the channel. If I were to vote at all it would be for The Brexit Party. Problem is that could put Corbyn and Di­ ana Abbott in Number 10 (providing she can count that high!) Oh for a Winston in our hour of need!

Keep the faith.

A Bunch of Work-Shy Snowflakes NORA JOHNSON

“

MILLENIALS (those born between 1980 and the mid-1990s and who, from next year, are expected to be the dominant age sector in the global workforce for the first time), are reportedly fuelling a crisis in the workplace.

Young employees flit from company to company, unwilling to stay in any job that doesn’t meet their expectations. Like the NHS and police work, for example.

Police forces preparing for the govern­ ment’s ambitious recruitment drive have identified a formidable challenge in hiring millennials. Today’s recruits seem to have been ‘wrapped in cotton wool,’ are rou­ tinely ‘shocked’ that police officers are ex­ pected to work nights and weekends, and ‘do not like confrontation.’

For some, this is ‘Generation Entitle­ ment.’ For others, millenials are simply re­ sponding to the world they were born in­

TESTIMONIAL

Laura: Amazing, hard working and professional team! A must read every week!

MILLENIALS: Desire a better work/life balance and training. to: one of peace and prosperity. They seem to have it all ­ a better work/life bal­ ance and training, for instance ­ and there are no rules of how to deal with it be­ cause, basically, we’ve never been here before.

Most notable among millenials is the shift from a desire for ‘things’ to a desire for ‘experiences.’ But whether it’s social media, the selfie craze, influencers or the inability to stick with one job for more than five minutes, what you end up with is a generation that is constantly seeking to add experiences, apparently without much regard to which have value and which don’t. You don’t gain ‘experiences’ by taking the same damn shot as every­ body else has taken of Mykonos or the Grand Canyon through the lens of a phone (though they think you do).

Fundamentally, the desire for a better work/life balance and training is sound and works for whatever generation we’re talking about. But ultimately, for some jobs, we need people dedicated to their vocation, who are willing to see past crea­ ture comforts because they want to do what they think is right, even if it means personal hardship.

Perhaps there’s a lack of that going around in this Brexit/Trump era, and it’s not just confined to the millennials...

BARRY DUKE IN the centre of Benidorm’s Old Town is a hugely popular waffle shop. Large crowds gather round it clutching fabulous gofres covered with chocolate or hazelnut spreads and cream. LOTS of cream!

I give it a wide berth because a while back a guy stepped away from the counter and walked straight into me. I glanced down and saw his waffle firmly stuck to the front of my shirt. I accepted his profuse apology, but was not best pleased at having to go home to change.

Not far from Gofres Manneken Pis is a food outlet which attracts even bigger crowds who mill about shoving enormous slices of pizza into their gobs. I avoid this area too as a precaution against a repeat food collision.

Now call me old­fashioned but I have a strong dislike of people who eat on the hoof. It was drummed into me as a kid by my parents that one ate at home at a

STREET CHOMPING: People eat in public everywhere. table. With a knife and fork. Eating in the street was considered the height of bad manners.

Times have changed, but I’ve not. I cannot help being repulsed whenever I see people in streets chomping on burgers, kebabs or pizzas ­ all the while spraying bits of food into the air as they jabber to their companions.

Others share my distaste. On a

very popular website called Mum­ snet (‘by parents for parents’) I discovered a lively discussion around this issue. But I was star­ tled to read these words: ‘It’s a UK thing though isn’t it? I have lived in the UK, Spain, France, Italy and now Switzerland and it’s only in the UK that there seems to be a problem.’

What utter baloney! People eat

in public everywhere, and only this week I almost threw up on a crowded Benidorm bus as I watched identical twin sisters in their sixties tuck into a pizza the size of a ferris wheel and a bloody great tub of cold paella which gave off a nauseating aroma of fish well past its sell­by date.

I actually had to get off two stops before my destination to es­

cape the stench. I was amazed that no­one else on the bus batted an eyelid as the obese sisters, wearing matching outfits liberally sprinkled with rice and pizza crumbs, chowed down.

This, I have to say, was the first time I’d ever seen people sit down to a full meal on a local bus. Sure, I’ve spotted folk snack on crisps and the like, and have no problem with that, particularly as the snackers invariably dispose of their wrappers responsibly.

The same can’t be said of those who travel on UK buses. Passen­ gers there tend to treat buses like garbage trucks, and on my last vis­ it to Brighton I slipped and fell when I stepped onto the remains of kebab dumped in the aisle.

One comment on the Mumsnet thread struck a definite chord: ‘Eating is civilised by the ritual of sitting down, using nice plates, cutlery etc. It’s about the ritual as much as the food. When you de­ couple food from the rituals that accompany it you could just be any animal filling its face.’

I couldn’t have put it better my­ self.

UN INSTITUTE FOR TRAINING AND RESEARCH (UNITAR) IN MALAGA CONSULAR MATTERS IT has not passed unnoticed that Malaga has undergone a complete transformation in the last 20 years. The city has improved in many ways and its international projection is constantly increasing, as part of these changes, last year, UNITAR and the Malaga Council created an International Training Centre for Authorities and Leaders (CIFAL) based in Malaga at Casona del Parque; which was for many years the house where the garden­ er who cared for the botanical species that grow in the Parque de Malaga used to live.

The objective of this learning centre is to offer support to the

UNITAR: Offering support to public representatives of the Mediterranean Riviera countries.

public representatives of the Mediterranean Riviera countries, and in this way contributing to each country’s co­operation and offering a wide range of learning opportunities, working towards knowledge sharing between the public offices and European lead­ ers in order to promote a more sustainable development of our cities.

CIFAL was created with a vision to become an outstanding learning centre in the Mediterranean, where local, regional and national leaders are able to acquire the necessary knowledge needed to lay the foundations for sustainable development in their communities and so improve citizens’ quality of life.

This learning course is not only directed to local and regional au­ thorities, but also focused on in­

ternational bodies, private sectors and civilians so that sustainable development targets are achieved according to those set in the 2030 Agenda.

The Consular corps in Malaga representing citizens of 43 differ­ ent nations and 40 per cent of the total provincial population, had to benefit from this development op­ portunity and some of us, Consuls of at least 15 countries, have de­ cided to attend this training course and in so doing, be aware of the needs and priorities of our region, addressing key points such as social integration, increasing the quality of life in our cities, and supporting co­existence, city gov­ ernance and city planning, with a strategic and sustainable develop­ ment and tourism plan, whilst im­ plementing the targets laid down in the 2030 Agenda.

WISHING SUNSHINE WILL HEAT YOUR POOL? GOOD weather conditions are back with temperatures climbing, and many of you are probably looking at your pool and dreaming of swim­ ming in lovely warm water. As sun­ shine is free many pool owners are attracted to buy ‘cheap and easy’ sunlight­based heating systems such as solar mats, vacuum tubing panels or a solar dome.

However to make such a solution work, an additional pool pump is needed to circulate the water contin­ uously through these solar systems.

Also bear in mind that to enjoy a pool temperature of 28°C you will need a solar matting surface matching the size of your pool. Meaning at least 32m² of solar mats for your 8x4 pool!

With such a large surface of small tubes and connections the whole sys­

WARM WATER: Start enjoying life with a heated pool!

tem becomes prone to leaks and malfunction, and running the cir­ culation pump will boost your electric bill by €300­€950 a year.

Your better choice is an air source heat pump. This does not require direct sunlight, the ambient Spanish air is sufficient, making this the #1 solution even on cloudy days.

The heat pump is simply fitted in be­ tween your existing pipework and heats up the pool by 4°C per day, quickly reaching a comfortable 28° for less than 2€ a day. Did you know that these impressive heat pumps are ca­ pable of extracting heat from outside air temperatures far below 10°C? Which means you can easily be swimming all year round in your pool.

Only one day is needed for the instal­ lation and you’re ready to enjoy your

heated pool. One tip, do keep a cover on when not using the pool to min­ imise unnecessary heat loss!

Poolworx only sells the professional Belgian brand Duratech heat pumps, these have UV resistant quality PVC housing, a titanium heat exchanger, flow detection, a smart fan and elec­ tronic display for full control. And they come with a two­year factory warran­ ty. Poolworx is the certified Duratech distributor for your area in Spain, pro­ viding all the before, during and after care. You can easily contact Poolworx via Facebook chat, email or phone and they will walk you through the steps towards the best solution for you. They have a special winter pro­ motion on for their Dura+14 and Du­ ra+19 models. Check out their web­ site or the advert in this EWN edition.

Contact Poolworx for your no obligation ‘pool specific’ price quote, by calling Spain 643 363 179 or Belgium (+32) 497 408 800 or email albert@poolworx.es.

The strangest thing...

MIKE SENKER IN MY OPINION Views of a Grumpy Old Man I WAS in the UK last week and, once again, was reminded why I love living here! Hour journeys taking two and a half hours because the M25 was practi­ cally redundant just after the ribbon cutting ceremony. A simple cup of cof­ fee costing more than a meal here.

OK maybe that’s a slight exaggeration but £6 for two coffees is almost the price of a menu del dia. Oh and the weather was, well, English. I went to a couple of places to eat. Nando’s was one where I actually like the food and, like many, they have free WiFI. But, before you can use their WiFi you have to give them shedloads of in­ formation and agree to their terms which, to be honest, I can’t be arsed to read. So, after going through that I log on successfully, but the signal is so weak that I can’t even check my email.

All I get is the spinning ‘I’m really try­ ing’ wheel. So now I go back to 4G and as soon as I turn oFf the Nando’s WiFi

the first email I get is from them! An email I couldn’t even receive whilst us­ ing their WiFi! This email tells me that I’m now just one click from activating my Nando’s account. I don’t want a Nando’s account thank you. I’m not clicking anything. It also informs me the benefits of said account is I can order online for delivery. Surely it will be cold by the time it gets to Spain!

And here is the best bit ­ I can con­ nect to their WiFi whenever I fancy ­ ex­ cept I can’t because the signal is crap!!!

Another thing I noticed in a few places is how waiters, in particular, re­ act when you are paying with a credit card. They give you the machine and then the strangest thing happens when they ask you to put in your pin number.

If they are sort of standing in the vicinity of the machine it almost looks like we are about to play a game of hide and seek. In one place I thought he was going to pull out a blindfold to cover his eyes. It’s hard to explain, but next time you pay a bill at a restaurant table, watch how your server reacts when you go to enter your pin number. It’s hilari­ ous! I think the next time it happens I’m going to put the tablecloth over my head and the machine!

YOUR STARS

TIME OUT

FOR NEXT 7 DAYS AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) Cast your net wide this week and be prepared to take advantage of a state of freedom.

With high energy and an expansive mind, you are in a good position. Avoid being thrown out of kilter by activities around you. It may be difficult to make real progress at times but that does not mean you are unable to plan.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20) As the moon shines on you, it is almost possible to feel the light.

After a few recent hiccups it is now possible to get down to achieving your heart's desire.

Whether that is what you will want at the end of the day is neither here nor there.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20) There will be good news regarding an application or legal document. Following on from that your finances take a turn for the better and this could be long term. Having extra cash is great, but be wary of someone who would like to part you from it. At the weekend, events take a romantic turn but timing may be bad owing to other commitments.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) Although you feel more in control as the week comes to an end, do not make the mistake of counting your chickens before they are hatched. If you do, you could end up with egg on your face.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) Colleagues are far from helpful at the moment and you may even feel that matters are going backwards. It may be necessary to move away and leave them to haggle among themselves. Perhaps later you may step in and take control of the confusion. If your business life is far from good then it is more than balanced by harmony at home.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Your mind is sharp and it is easy to spot problems before they arise. Some dispute regarding a trip is disappointing. However, you are not able to please everyone in this instance.

‘Greetings cards featuring artwork by AudreyQ are available at P.C. Highway, Javea with profits going to Aspadis, a Valencian charity for severely handicapped children.’

LEO (July 24 - August 23) Having been given a chance to take responsibility at the beginning of the month, you are determined to do your best. Certainly, it is a time to concentrate on any business matters which need attention.

VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) A great light shines on your romantic life. Whether it is meeting up with old chums or a new date, there is electricity in the air for you. Equally, a business coupling is particularly fruitful and you count your blessings to have gone down a particular path.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23) The usually flamboyant attitude which is yours at this time of the year is now subdued, but this will not last for too much longer and soon things will be back to normal.

You will be looking to spice up your romantic life and your partner will be only too willing to go along with your suggestions.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) There is a lot going on and sometimes you need to take a step back. A feeling that you have covered some ground before is not unfounded.

However, there are certain aspects of your life which need to be revisited. Only in this way are you able to see the real progress that has been made.

Women’s wit

I make a point to never, ever point out my physical flaws… this is advice I give to woman as often as I can. People don’t notice the things we see in ourselves that we hate, so why direct them to it?”

‘

Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humour was provided to console him for what he is.”

QUIZ: WHAT THE DICKENS 1. Originally published in serial form in 1836, what was the title of Charles Dickens’ first novel: Nicholas Nickleby or The Pickwick Papers?

2. In Dickens’ second novel, Oliver Twist, what is the name of the beadle in the parish workhouse where Oliver was born?

3. Which Dickens’ novel, first published as a book in 1841, was largely set during the Gordon Riots of 1780?

4. Which Dickens’ novel, originally serialised between April and November 1859, tells the story of the French Doctor Manette, his 18-year-long imprisonment in the Bastille in Paris and his release to live in London with his daughter Lucie, whom he had never met?

5. In the preface to the 1867 edition of which novel did Dickens write about the title character, ‘Like many fond parents, I have in my heart of hearts a favourite child. And his name is… (what)’?

6. The orphan Philip Pirrip, nicknamed Pip, is the narrator of which Dickens work, his 13th and penultimate completed novel?

7. Who wrote both the music and lyrics to the 1960s musical Oliver!, based on Oliver Twist?

8. Which 1852 Dickens’ novel has the distinction of being perhaps the only work of classic literature featuring a character (Krook) that dies by spontaneous combustion?

9. What was the pen name of the English artist and illustrator Hablot Knight Browne, who illustrated 10 books by Charles Dickens?

10. Originally published in 1870, what was the title of the final, unfinished novel by Charles Dickens: Our Mutual Friend or The Mystery of Edwin Drood?

Not a lot of people know that… the phrases ‘what the dickens’ or ‘like the dickens’ has nothing to do with Charles Dickens. Dickens is a euphemism, specifically a minced-oath, for the word devil, possibly via devilkins. Shakespeare used it in The Merry Wives of Windsor (1602): ‘I cannot tell what the dickens his name is my husband had him of’

CRIME writing king John Grisham delivers a powerful read with a twist.

Set in the small Florida town of Seabrook, a young lawyer, Keith Russo, was shot dead at his desk whilst he worked late one night.

No clues were found at the scene. There were no witnesses, no-one with motive. However, the police suspect Quincy Miller, a young black man and former client of Russo’s.

Miller is tried, convicted and imprisoned for life. For 22 years he suffers in prison.

He maintains his innocence, but his pleas fall on deaf ears.

With no lawyer to turn to he writes to Guardian Ministries, a small non-profit run by lawyer and minister Cullen Post.

Post travels the country tackling wrongful convictions and taking on clients betrayed by the system.

MEAT FREE ESCHEWING meat on moral grounds is 100 per cent applaudable as most of the animals we eat today live in misery and die miserably so we can pick up bargains in supermarkets.

That’s one thing, and I admire the vegetari­ ans who shun bacon sandwiches ­ surely one of life’s greatest culinary inventions ­ because they don’t want Piglet or Babe on their con­ sciences.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that we are omnivores with bodies and innards designed to eat a little bit of everything, which brings me to vegans. My vegetarian friends are all normal, but the vegans verge on the hysteri­ cal and accusatory. Imagine my pleasure, then, on reading recently that vegans are prone to depression and ­ wait for it ­ cannabis.

Over indulgence I READ in the Euro Weekly News not long ago that the Benidorm fiestas organisers want to shorten the route for ‘peñas’ clubs’ pa­ rade on the first day.

Most are tipsy before the parade starts and blind drunk by the time it finishes, it seemed from the article.

I have lived for many years in the Mari­ na Baja although not in Benidorm and from what I have seen, rowdiness and over­indulgence in alcohol are fiestas req­ uisites. It is usually good­humoured and in all my time here, I haven’t seen conflict or anything approaching a fight.

The piece you printed came to mind on reading about a drunken British cou­ ple tussling and punching each other on the Alicante airport shuttle bus taking them to the terminal.bThe locals here might occasionally drink too much but they just get merrier, not like the British and northern Europeans who get morose and then aggressive.

Save the Mar Menor POLLUTION is something that never seems too far from the headlines.

While much has been done, the ongo­

BACON SARNIE: A favourite with most omnivores. ing disaster that is the Mar Menor shows just how much remains to do before we can live in a clean world that respects the environ­ ment and the wildlife that shares it with us.

For those who don’t know, a couple of weeks ago a ‘hypoxia’ event occurred. In sim­ ple terms, the water of the lagoon (Editor’s note: the Mar Menor is off the coast of Mur­ cia) ran out of oxygen. The result was a dev­ astating loss of wildlife.

HAVE YOUR SAY

Literally tons of fish and marine life died and covered the beaches, as well as further polluting the waters. We are in danger of turning it into a dead sea unless something is done quickly. Sewage systems need to be im­ proved. Farmers should be banned from us­ ing slurry and other fertilisers.

I think Spanish authorities are now realis­ ing this. I wish they’d take measures now.

HYDRAULIC fracturing - commonly known as fracking - has recently come under the spotlight after the government halted the activity in the UK. This technique has been the subject of controversy for many years. Scientists and ecologists alike believe fracking to be highly polluting and dangerous for society and the environment.

To be aware of the risks, it’s important to understand how the process works. Fracking begins with drilling down into the earth and injecting fluids at a very high pressure. The liquid is primarily water but it also contains sand, chemicals and thickening agents.

This fluid creates cracks in the deep-rock formations and natural gas will flow freely, allowing companies to collect it.

Natural gas helps reduce greenhouse gasses as it replaces coal and burns cleaner, emitting only half as much carbon dioxide. However, experts believe this benefit is outweighed by the environmental impacts of the activity.

The main problem is the contamination of surface and underground water with chemicals scientists believe to be carcinogenic. Increased earthquakes are another by-product and, in the UK, multiple earth tremors were triggered, finally causing work to halt.

In Spain, the practice is mostly prohibited and in 2016, the five companies with licences gave them up freely. In the UK, the practice has now been prohibited after £32 million was spent with no energy in return.

Now we want to hear your views.

Sentences for rape, fair or not?

Recently we have seen a rise in stories in the news of girls being raped, especially victims who were underaged. In the majority of these cases, the accused seem to only serve a small percentage of their sentences. So the poll question is: Do you think it is time that the sentences and punishments were stricter?

Winter-proof skin AUTUMN has settled in, and after mak­ ing itself comfortable, it is finally bring­ ing colder temperatures. For many, the cooler temperature is a welcome relief to the blazing heat and humidity of the summer. But the biggest organ in the body ­ the skin ­ has already started getting goose bumps.

Skin is our protection against external conditions and forms a protective barri­ er over the body’s surface. The epider­ mis is the outermost layer and makes sure to keep water in the body and in­ fectious germs from entering.

Seasonal changes can irritate and ex­ acerbate existing skin conditions. A big percentage of the population is affected by some type of skin ailment in varying degrees of severity. Wind and cold ag­ gravates dry and inflamed skin. Existing conditions can react badly to changes in routine, for example, more layers of clothing and temperature variations from outdoors to indoors.

For people who experience rosacea, the summer months can be a bad time of year. On the other hand, a wintery cli­

mate can be problematic for eczema, psoriasis and acne. Even people with a healthy dermis will notice red cheeks, taut skin and cracked lips. People with pre­existing problems will often experi­ ence flare­ups.

Cold temperatures make the skin’s pores tighter and reduces blood circula­ tion, thus diminishing natural oils known as sebum. Sebum is essential in forming a protective layer and traps moisture to avoid the skin from drying out.

Consequences of less sebum are seen by acne sufferers; whose skin depends on the substance to block the entry of bacteria in pores. During the winter, bacteria penetrates pores easily and can result in outbreaks. Patients who have to deal with eczema, psoriasis and atopic dermatitis generally complain about increased irritation, flaky skin and inflammation.

Although the effects of winter cannot be completely avoided, experts do rec­ ommend following a series of habits that can benefit the skin.

An important thing to avoid is scald­

ing hot baths and showers as the heat strips the skin of its natural oils. A short­ er and cooler shower will help and using a moisturising cream straight after­ wards is a must.

Exposure to hot environments such as air­conditioned cars or rooms with dry air can further de­ hydrate the epidermis. A conscious effort should be made to drink plenty of water and supplement­ ing diet with Omega 3 and 6 oils can reduce inflammation. Cosying up to the radiator or fireplace will al­ so cause dryness, a humidifier will combat this and add moisture to the home.

A few other tips to fight the frost include picking a soothing lip balm, ditching irritating clothing and al­ ways wearing gloves to protect hands. Wash­ ing up gloves are again advised when touching chemicals or grease.

WINTER SKIN: Protect yourself against the frost.

Hormonal balance in danger IN a world of increasing harmful substances and plastic waste, it is important to be aware of en­ docrine disruptors. These dis­ ruptors are chemicals that can interfere with the body’s hor­ monal balance. At certain doses they can cause very grave ill­ nesses and consequences on an otherwise healthy person. Ail­ ments can include infertility, cancer, thyroid problems, loss of memory, autism, diabetes and obesity.

The danger with endocrine disruptors is that we are con­ stantly surrounded by them.

Chemicals in common house­ hold objects contain the danger­ ous substances. One of the most studied disruptors is Bisphenol A or BPA. It can be found in plastic bottles, food containers, fra­

grances, cleaning products, DVDs, the lining of food cans, receipts and toys, among others.

The compound is the starting material for polycarbonate plas­ tics and in 2015 about four mil­ lion tonnes were produced, making it one of the most pro­ duced chemicals worldwide.

BPA mimics oestrogen and has hormone­like properties.

The use of this plastic has been studied after alarm was raised in the scientific world. The Euro­ pean Union put in place regula­ tions and banned its use in baby bottles, although the European Food Safety Authority has de­ clared that the substance poses no threat to consumers of any age.

However, many researchers continue to explain the risks as­ sociated with this endocrine dis­ ruptor and in 2017 the Euro­ pean Chemicals Agency announced that BPA should be included as a substance of high concern. Babies and young chil­ dren could be among the most

HORMON E WORRY: Plastic bottles contain harmful chemicals.

affected, as at this young age hormones play a big role in de­ velopment.

Both female and male repro­ ductive systems suffer a big im­ pact with lower amounts of sperm and testosterone in men and early puberty and a reduc­ tion of fertility in women. In re­ spect to mental well­being and the brain, it could possibly cause anxiety, hyperactivity and ag­ gression as well as learning dis­ abilities. Higher quantities of BPA are associated to hyperten­ sion and heart illnesses. It can lead to an increase in weight and the appearance of Type II di­ abetes.

Thyroid functions can also be affected and prostate and breast cancer cases increase.

Endocrinologists are appeal­

ing to make use of caution and ask to progressively reduce these types of substances in consumer products until investi­ gations can offer definitive proof. The World Health Organ­ isation has revealed there are more than 800 types, although the number could be much higher. The association has named them as a global threat that needs to be carefully vigilat­ ed. Nicolás Olea, professor of medicine at Granada University, is one of the most knowledge­ able experts in the study of these chemicals. He maintains that scientific evidence of their negative impact is undeniable and overwhelming.

He reiterates that European control needs to be even stricter in the future.

Banishing baldness HAIR loss might have just become a thing of the past. Biotechnology firm HairClone has been granted a licence by the UK to open the world’s first follicle banking system. The hair bank will launch in Manchester and patients can now have their hair follicles cryopreserved and stored.

Authorisation by the Human Tissue Authority has marked a big milestone for the exciting technology. Men and women worried about hair loss will have samples taken and frozen for future use. The technology will be open for all adults and will amount to an initial cost of around €2,900, plus €100 per year of storage.

Currently hair transplants available cost around €8,000 and only redistribute existing hair.

Millions of people suffer with hair loss, caused by a combination of genes and hor­ mones. The existing options include transplants and medication. This medication has varying re­ sults and generally produces unwanted side­ef­ fects. Minoxidil, also known as Regaine, is effec­ tive in up to two­thirds of users but can cause symptoms such as itchiness and heart palpita­

tions. Other similar pharmaceuticals have been linked to impotence, low fertility rates and de­ pression.

Seeing as the current solutions for balding are lacking in many areas, this innovating technique is a welcome arrival. In the last moth South Ko­ rean investigations revealed that baldness is linked to air pollution. People in China had been found to suffer hair loss 20 years earlier than their fathers and grandfathers. Explanations for this phenomenon also included stress, poor sleep and unhealthy eating. To start the process, both patient and surgeon will first decide if banking is a good option. If the process moves forward around 100 hair follicles will be re­ moved under local anaesthetic from the back of the scalp. The whole procedure will between 30 and 60 minutes and no recovery time will be needed. Patients will be able to continue their routines as normal, whilst their hair samples will be stored a minus 180 degrees Celsius.

Once these cells are frozen, they stop their ageing process. Over time, the subject’s hair will become shorter and finer.

Gut health chaos A new study has found that up to 50 per cent of common medication negatively affects gut health. Researchers at Maastricht University in the Netherlands explain that the discovery can ex­ plain many of pharmaceutical’s side effects, such as obesity.

THE investigation showed that certain drugs changed the composition of gut bacteria, leading to a risk of intestinal infection and weight gain. Taking into ac­ count common drug cate­ gories, at least 18 of the 41 studied had notable reper­ cussions on the digestive system.

The microbiome inside the intestines is made up of thousands of different types of bacteria. These or­ ganisms are essential in maintaining many health aspects such as a strong immune system, a healthy heart and regulating weight. These microbes work together as another organ in the body and can sometimes weigh between one and two kilos.

If gut composition isn’t balanced and healthy many ailments can start to ap­ pear. Constant fatigue, skin irritation, food intoler­

ances and an upset stom­ ach are just a few of the consequences a debilitated microbiome can have.

For the study, scientists analysed 2,000 stool sam­ ples from healthy people and those that presented irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. They then com­ pared the composition of non­drug user’s guts and people regularly on med­ ication.

Fo u r o f t h e d r u g c a t e ­ gories were revealed to have the biggest impact: proton pump inhibitors ­ used for indigestion ­ laxa­ tives, antibiotics and met­ formin, the form of treat­ ment for diabetes Type 2.

Metformin users had h i g h e r l e v e l s o f E­ c o l i , a bacterium that can cause deadly infections, whilst those on PPI produced a larger amount of fatty acids. Antidepressants

where also on the list, as the pills were seen to pro­ duce high levels of Eubac­ terium ramulus, that can lead to infections.

However, some helpful steps can be taken to im­ prove and maintain the es­ sential bacteria. Stress is one of the biggest culprits and can be lowered by walking, meditating, de­ creasing caffeine intake or doing activities. Quality of sleep is another guilty par­ ty and it should be a priori­ ty to ensure seven to eight hours of rest.

Diet can be cared for by eating slowly, staying hy­ drated and eating probiotic foods or supplements.

Yogurts and kefir can en­ hance the immune system and high­fibre foods will also have a positive im­ pact. Interestingly, garlic and onion have also been linked with many impor­ tant gut functions.

GUT PROBLEMS: Health can be negatively affected by pills.

Final stages of development WITH DBX’s unveil drawing closer, Aston Martin’s first SUV has entered the closing stages of the most comprehensive test regime of any Aston Martin and the luxury British marque can now confirm the beating heart of the most versatile product in its illustrious history.

With extensive everyday real­world driving and high­performance track evaluation taking place at locations worldwide ­ including the brand’s two key engineering centres at Silverstone, UK and the Nürburgring, Germany ­ Chief Engineer Matt Becker’s team have focused their development work to ensure the broad dynamic capability required of DBX. While conducting durability testing at the demanding Nürburgring race cir­ cuit, DBX has delivered cornering speeds on par with the brand’s most focused sports car Vantage, while achieving braking figures greater than the marque’s Super GT, DBS Superleg­

NEAR COMPLETION: Aston Martin’s first SUV. gera. This brutal combination of perfor­ mance for an SUV has already seen As­ ton Martin’s engineering team regular­ ly achieve sub eight­minute Nordschleife lap times during their reg­

ular testing regime.

DBX will feature a 4.0­litre twin­tur­ bo V8, tuned to deliver the exhilaration of a modern GT. While recognisable from its application in the brand’s exist­

ing Vantage and DB11 sports cars, DBX’s V8 engine surpasses the perfor­ mance credentials of these V8­pow­ ered models delivering 550PS and 700Nm of torque.

High speed testing has already proven DBX to repeatedly exceed 180mph, with final top speed and ac­ celeration figures being set within the closing stages of the testing process.

As highlighted in a video release, DBX’s vocal chorus has also been honed by the brand’s dedicated acoustic team. With a focus on creating a broader, more solid acoustic note, DBX’s exhaust system has been tuned to reflect a deep bass with increasing mid­tones, creating true auditory exhil­ aration, particularly in more sporting drive modes.

DBX’s testing programme continues apace, with Matt Becker, Aston Mar­ tin’s Chief Engineer commenting: “We have concentrated our work to ensure that the calibration and tune of this 4.0­ litre twin­turbo V8 delivers both the everyday usability and refinement ex­ pected by SUV owners. However, we have also focused heavily on matching that with the engaging driving dynam­ ics that are commanded by our brand and inherent in every Aston Martin.”

In all there are four trim levels each adding more equip­ ment.

kph (126 mph), the 0­100 kph time is 9.8 seconds and emis­ sions 129 g/km. Average fuel economy is 16.3 kpl (46 mpg).

Exterior styling is quite ele­ gant and inside, Tarraco im­ presses with its space. There is good head and leg rooms for front and mid­row occu­ pants and the while the two rear seats are larger than some in the class, they are still really

for children. With five seats oc­ cupied, boot space is substan­ tial at 700 litres and with the middle­row folded down, you get a van­like 1,775 litres.

With sliding mid­row seats, good interior stowage space, variable level boot floor and roof rails, the Tarraco earns full marks for practicality. On the road, the car drives fluently and the firm suspension set­up delivers assured cornering though ride comfort does suf­ fer slightly on rougher roads.

Rivals in the sector include the Skoda Kodiaq (larger load space) and Peugeot 5008 (smoother ride) but overall, the new Tarraco has enough of its own stand­out characteris­ tics to take on the best that the class has to offer.

STYLISH: The Alpine A110S.

Alpine A110S WITH an intense sports car persona and assertive styling, the A110S joins the A110 Pure and A110 Légende in the Alpine model range. Assuming a position at the top of the line­up, the A110S is a lightweight coupe characterised by high engine pow­ er, a focused chassis setup and refined design elements.

The A110S has been engineered to deliver precise handling re­ sponse and exacting high­speed stability. Sophisticated styling flourishes inside and out, as well the use of high­end materials such as carbon fibre and Dinamica upholstery, amplify the car’s purposeful nature.

At its core a true Alpine, the A110S is a mid­engined, two­seat sports car that delivers 292PS and weighs 1114kg. It is engaging to drive at all speeds while still being comfortable in everyday use.

Approachable and undemanding to drive, the A110S is faithful to Alpine’s underlying principles of lightweight engineering, compact dimensions and performance through agility.

Priced €66,500* before options, the A110S is available to or­ der from the Renault Group immediately. Deliveries are due to begin before the end of the year.

Designed for urban life T H E a l l n e w To y o t a Ya r i s h a s b e e n d e signed to meet the increasing challenges of everyday urban life.

Today’s compact car customers are amongst Europe’s most demanding and they typically undertake their busy lives in congested urban environments that present them with ever-increasing challenges.

They expect their car to deliver style and practicality.

They want it to be easy to park, agile in the city and comfortable on longer journeys. They expect leading levels of safety and the lowest possible running costs. In addition they are more environmentally aware than ever before and seek relevant solutions that fit their daily schedule and surroundings.

And, of course, they also prefer these attributes to be delivered at an affordable price.

To respond to these everincreasing demands, the new Yaris brings Toyota’s New

Global Architecture (TNGA) philosophy to the compact car segment for the first time.

For the new Yaris, this is delivered through the first use of the new G A-B platform, and the first use of the

new T N G A three-cylinder, fourth generation hybrid system.

This approach is complemented by advances in active and passive systems to create the world’s safest compact car.

England Rugby Team Slammed As Bad Losers ENGLAND'S players have come under fire for refusing to wear their runners­up medals after losing the Rug­

by World Cup final.

England were easily beaten

by South Africa’s relentless intensity as their World

Cup final ended with a crush­ ing 32­12 defeat in the final at International Stadium Yokohama.

As England were given their runners up medals, lock Itoje did not put the silver­ ware around his neck while Kyle Sinckler immediately ripped his off.

Rugby fans around the world slammed England as sore and bad losers across so­ cial media.

Thousands mocked the los­ ing team worldwide.

One wrote: ‘England having a temper tantrum refusing to wear their medals. Pathetic.’

There were several thou­ sand more of similar nature.

Stuart Johnson tweeted ‘If you win a silver medal in a 100­metre Olympics final do you throw it away?’

England clearly haven’t done themselves any favours in the publicity stakes thats for sure.

ANDRÉ GOMES: Was carried off on a stretcher after a poor tackle by Son.

Everton v Spurs EVERTON started the game the better team hogging the ball. Spurs could not get hold of it.

Although on 11 minutes Spurs almost carved an opening. After some patient build up play, Toby Alderweireld floated a cross­field ball into Davies, who slides in Eriksen. But Everton even­ tually managed to crowd Tottenham out. It was a slick move, a sign of how Spurs can open up teams when they are on form. Teams went in at half time level 0­0.

The game opened up on 68 minutes when Dele Alli struck after Alex Iwobi squandered possession, Son put in Alli, who drove inside Djibril Sidibé and fired into the corner beyond Pickford. It was a thumping finish and Alli’s cel­ ebration packed a punch too. Alli basked in glo­ ry, after Spurs broke the deadlock at Goodison.

On 78 minutes Son made a poor tackle, there was a real concern for André Gomes. Son Heung­min looked absolutely distraught, close to tears. Son’s tackle was not brilliant at all. Son Heung­min was sent off. But the Tottenham forward had to be consoled as he headed down the tunnel crying like a baby. Both sets of players appeared very distressed at the injury sustained to André Gomes. Replays suggested the injury to André Gomes was sustained after

Son’s challenge, as a result of the way he fell.

In truth Son was unlucky to see red, the ref­ eree clearly changed his mind after seeing the leg of the injured Gomes, the tackle itself was­ n’t that bad a challenge.

André Gomes was carried off on a stretcher.

Marco Silva’s eyes appeared to be watering. It looked a very nasty injury. Goodison rose to its feet as the midfielder was carried off. An am­ bulance whisked him off to hospital. Juan Foyth replaced Aurier for Spurs, who were down to 10 players with the sending off.

As 90 minutes appeared on the clock there was an extra 12 minutes to play due to the de­ lay. The game, as you would expect, had gone very flat after the horrifying injury to André Gomes. That Son was distraught and the dis­ tress of both sets of players and the crowd spoke volumes of the severity of the injury.

On the 98th minute Everton went level ­ it was a brilliant goal. Tosun powered home a header, meeting Lucas Digne’s brilliant volleyed, first­time cross. It was a wonderful floating cross into Digne by Yerry Mina, who lost his footing after sending the ball across the field. Digne fired the ball into the box, where Calvert­Lewin and Tosun were champing at the bit, and Tosun did the rest. The result 1­1.

Liverpool v Aston Villa TREZEGUET scored first in the game with a tap­in at Villa Park on Sunday. There was a consul­ tation for a possible offside, but the goal stood and Liverpool were behind. On the half hour Roberto Firmino ‘scored’ an equaliser for Liverpool that was controversially ruled offside.

Liverpool went in at half time 0­1 down and it stayed that way until until Andy Robertson scored his third goal for Liver­ pool and it was a timely one to take them level with only five minutes of normal play left.

Liverpool snatched the lead Sadio Mane scored with a flick­ on from a late 94th minute cor­ ner to win the match.

SIXTH TIME CHAMPION IT was lights out and away they went in the US Grand Prix. The front runners got away well and Bottas came out on top, but Albon and Sainz veered off and made contact, but returned to the track at Austin, Texas.

Then Hamilton passed Leclerc and Vettel, Norris moved ahead of Ricciar­ do. Vettel was struggling already. Fer­ rari did not seem to have fired their tyres up, Leclerc was fourth and Vettel sixth.

Vettel was complaining of damage.

Another who had some was Albon,who had already come into the pits, having been squeezed by Sainz and veering off the track. But the top two looked unscathed ­ Bottas lead from Verstappen, with Hamilton in third. Vettel had also been overtaken

by Ricciardo, leaving the German in seventh.

Sainz and Albon went under investi­

gation by the stewards over a first­ turn collision. There was plenty of movement in pecking orders ­ Raikko­ nen had gained six places since the start, and he was up to 11th. Bottas lead by 1.3 seconds from Verstappen, with Hamilton third. It was an interest­ ing start.

Lap 8. More woe for Vettel ­ his rear suspension had gone, and he slid off the track. He was having an absolute nightmare, and he was becalmed at trackside. Ricciardo passed Norris and moved into fifth.

That suspension failure ended his involvement on lap 11 in this Grand Prix, his first DNF here. Towards the back, Perez took advantage of a Giov­ inazzi lock­up at turn 12 to sneak ahead of him into 14th.

By lap 17 Bottas set a new fastest lap for the race on lap 16, as Hamilton had his one­stop strategy confirmed by his team. Meanwhile Albon was told by his team that they had spotted

some damage to the car, and he was struggling back down in 13th, having lost six places since the start.

Lap 26. Bottas lead by five seconds from Verstappen, with Hamilton eight seconds further back in third. Leclerc was fourth, 24 seconds off the lead, with Ricciardo fifth.

Next lap was the give away to tac­ tics. A swift Hamilton lap 26 took a 2.7 seconds chunk out of Bottas’s lead.

Hamilton was now told ‘It’s critical we make the one­stop plan work,’ cau­ tioning him about not burning the speed too excessively to save the tyres.

With 20 laps to go with tyre strate­ gy playing out Hamilton now lead, but he was beginning to question his tyres, so he and Mercedes faced a judgement call on how to handle this race but he stayed out, late stages he was caught by Bottas but it didn’t real­ ly matter, Hamilton finished second to become sixth time world champion!

LEWIS HAMILTON: Sixth time world champion.
