Killer driver was drunk

By Matt Ford A 35-year-old Ukrainian woman was killed and six others, including a two-yearold child, were injured when a drunk driver careered off the road into a children’s playground in Benalmadena. The tragic incident occurred on Avenida Estrella del Mar when the 44-year-old motorist tried to turn a corner at the junction with Ronda del Golf Oeste. One witness described him “driving so fast that I thought it was a thief who had robbed the supermarket next door.” Police have now confirmed the motorist was three times over the legal alcohol limit.

See us on page 60

As he took the corner he veered into the opposite lane and was then forced to swing off the road to avoid an oncoming car. At this point he careered into occupied tables and chairs outside a snack kiosk next to the playground. Several people who were in the park saw the Peugeot 206 coming and managed to get out of the way, but those sitting closest to the road were not so lucky. According to witness reports the woman who died was carried along on the car’s bonnet for several seconds. As she slid off she was run over but remained conscious until paramedics arrived. The

woman was then transferred to the Hospital Clinico in a critical condition but died of her injuries early on Tuesday morning despite undergoing two separate operations. The other six people hit by the car suffered minor injuries with the exception of a woman who broke her leg. The infant is said to be “fine” and was not badly hurt. The driver lives in Churriana but works as a gardener in Benalmadena, and it has now been revealed he had tested positive for alcohol and drugs on two other occasions, even completing a driver awareness course in order to regain his lost licence in 2013.

He was arrested in the immediate aftermath of the incident and on Wednesday, October 19, a Torremolinos Court ruled he should be imprisoned without bail while he is investigated for offences including homicide by gross negligence, crimes against road safety and several counts of grievous bodily harm.

Dodgy dealers NATIONAL POLICE arrested a man and four women in Mijas on Wednesday, October 19. The group were suspected of dealing hard drugs, mostly

heroin and cocaine, and had even arranged a pile of pallets near their homes where users could get an immediate hit without being detected by other residents or the police.

On the scrap heap AROUND 100 cars that have been removed from the streets of Marbella are to be scrapped after the council concluded that they had been abandoned. The vehicles had been causing issues in places such as the municipal football stadium and a car park near the Plaza del Mar building, where some of them had been parked for ‘years.’

Going for gold A 58-YEAR-OLD fugitive, wanted for stealing bars of pure gold from a British company based in Belgium, has been arrested by National Police Officers in Mijas. A European Arrest War-

EVEN before the sun rose on Monday (October 17), worshippers and well-wishers arrived at the Plaza de San Pedro in Malaga to celebrate a momentous occasion for the city: the canonisation of a new saint. The day before, on Sunday (October 16) thousands gath-

ered in Rome to watch Pope Francis canonise seven chosen figures, who originally hailed from such counties as Argentina, Mexico, and France, as well as one from Spain. The man in question, Manuel Gonzalez Garcia, was from Malaga. Gonzalez Garcia was the Bishop of Malaga between 1916 and 1935. Thanks to his

canonisation on Sunday, the city was filled with exuberance as priests, parishioners, family and friends congregated to share their excitement. Gonzalez Garcia will live on eternally in the Malaga Diocese, particularly among the priests, who upon his canonisation vowed they would aspire to carry their new saint’s gen-

erosity of spirit and devotion into their future endeavours. Gonzalez Garcia was noted for founding the Eucaristic Missionaries of Nazareth in 1921, an organisation that has lived on until this day, with eight representatives currently residing in Malaga, where they practice at the Santo Cristo de la Salud Church.

Hey big spender By Sam Croft A BRITISH investment fund plans to spend €25 million on the construction of five luxury villas in Marbella. The group, Pacific Investments, has its headquarters in London, and plans to begin construction on the villas as soon as the city council awards the building permit, a process which should be completed in the next few weeks. The residences will be built in the Cascadas de Canojan, a sought-after and elevated area with stunning views of both the sea and the nearby mountains. The project has been given the name Fontana, and will be aimed not only at the British market, but also at Scandinavians, Central Europeans, and Arab buyers. The villas will share common architectural qualities but each one will be designed with its own unique style. They will be located on plots of land between 2,000 and 3,000 square metres, and each one will come with its own pool, gym, and wine cellar. It is anticipated that the work should take between 18 and 20 months, with Pacific Investments therefore aiming for the project to be completed by 2018.

Squalid stream raises the fear of serious diseases RESIDENTS of the La Leala urbanisation in Arroyo de la Miel, Benalmadena, are up in arms over the existence of a potential breeding ground for leishmaniasis parasites in the Arroyo del Saltillo. The disease is spread via the bite of certain types of sandfly, and the symptoms can be of four main types, with cutaneous forms causing ulcers on the skin, the mucocutaneous form attacking the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, and throat cavities, and the more dangerous visceral form characterised by high fever, weight loss, swelling of the spleen and liver, and anaemia. It is endemic in Spain but infections are mostly limited to dogs. Local businessman Jose Prado said that, “It has been years since the stream bed was cleared or fumigated, and now it is full of rats and mosquitoes.”

He has filed an official complaint with the town councils of both Benalmadena and Torremolinos after his 14-month-old grandson contracted the disease while staying at his home during the summer. Although the child overcame the disease, the Public Health Service of Madrid was obliged to inform the Junta de Andalucia, who allegedly passed it on to Benalmadena and Torremolinos councils in September. According to Prado, the municipal health officer in Benalmadena said it is not possible to know where he contracted the infection, and recommended an “urgent cleaning and sanitation, with subsequent disinfection and pest control in the area.” Prado believes the councils have failed to act due to ‘no budget’ and ‘expenditure ceilings,’ and is now requesting that it be dealt with as a health emergency.

The flame of love A MAN who allegedly terrorised his girlfriend by setting fire to her house has been arrested in Malaga City. The incident occured in the neighbourhood of La Palma.

She called the police and firefighters, although she managed to put out the flames herself using a bucket of water. Several hours later, while the police were looking for the culprit, the woman went downstairs to buy tobacco when she apparently encountered her partner. He allegedly attacked her again, hitting her repeatedly and threatening her.

New ‘Right to Remain’ campaign uncertainty following Britain’s vote to leave the EU. “But nowhere is that uncertainty more worrying and, frankly, unacceptable, than the ambiguity surrounding the rights of European nationals living here and those of British citizens on the continent.”

BREXIT PAGE By Matthew Elliot and Simon Firth THE wife of the former Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg is Spanish. A lawyer of international renown, Miriam González Durántez was born in Valladolid and is an expert on European Union law. She probably needs to be too. Her husband, the ex-deputy PM, is now writing to 500,000 people in the UK urging them to message Theresa May demanding the rights of EU citizens in the country be guaranteed. The trigger for this action by the Sheffield Hallam MP is the claim by cabinet minister Liam Fox that these rights could be one of the government’s ‘main cards’ during its Brexit negotiations. Clegg says his wife’s status in the UK could be affected and that he says is “unacceptable”. The letter reads, “There is a great deal of

“So many families across the UK are made up of people from different EU countries, including mine. What they are looking for are immediate reassurances that their rights will not be affected by Brexit.” His entry into the debate is part of a campaign launched under the title, ‘Right

to Remain,’ which aims to get guarantees on the rights of EU nationals in the UK. The campaign also seeks guarantees about the rights of UK nationals living in other EU member states, something the expatriate community in Spain has already vocalised and is continuing to do so. All groups are manoeuvring in advance of March next year and the stated British government’s position that it will then trigger Article 50. But there is first the small matter of a court case to be won by the government’s lawyers. The case seeks to force Theresa May to seek parliamentary approval before the legal mechanism which begins the two-year EU withdrawal. While the EU council president Donald Tusk insists there will be no talks until then, Theresa May continues to insist that the two-year countdown will begin in March, come what may.

Revenge is not cheap THE Malaga Provincial Court has sentenced a woman for wrecking a flat that she was renting due to the fact that she was being evicted. The woman originally signed an agreement to rent a flat in Torremolinos, where she lived until January 23, 2012, when she was given an eviction notice as she was unable to pay the rent. At this point, the woman, with the intention of lowering the value of the property, broke the table on the terrace and pulled the drawers out of one of the wardrobes, and also ripped the screen off the shower. When the time came for her to leave the flat, she stole various items, including a mattress, a duvet, a wardrobe, and a shelf, the value of the damaged goods and stolen goods was set at €370 at €299, respectively. The woman was therefore ordered to pay the owner of the flat the full amount of €669 and was additionally slapped with a €300 fine.

The future is here Cryotherapy style THE concept of subjecting the body to short bursts of extreme cold to aid its healing processes has arrived in Marbella. The city’s first whole body cryotherapy chamber has arrived at the Dynamic Gym in the Le Village Commercial Centre, just off the Golden Mille. Scientists have long known that exposing parts of the body to periods of extreme cold can aid circulation and reduce inflammation. In the chamber the entire body is subjected to very low temperatures for a period of up to three minutes. Paul Francis of Cryotherapy Marbella, said, “Think of the concept of an ice bath, or putting ice on a bump or a bruise. “Cryotherapy is a dry technique which reaches much colder temperatures. A short session achieves much better results and is much more comfortable than a prolonged soak in an ice bath.” The company says it has seen improvements in people suffering from conditions such as psoriasis, and chronic fatigue, and

Explosive situation dissolved A T W E N T Y- F I V E YEAR-OLD Estepona resident has been sentenced to two years in prison for manufacturing explosives in his home. In a Malaga court, the judge ruled that the accused ‘undoubtedly’ set out to make an explosive known as Hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD). HMTD is a highly explosive organic compound which is commonly used in the creation of home-made bombs, for this reason its possession is strictly prohibited. After having made the bomb, he then decided to dissolve it. The man admitted to what he had done in court and expressed remorse, therefore he received a lighter sentence.

The final blow A WOMAN who was recently sentenced to a year’s separation from her daughter for assaulting her has lost her right to custody. The mother was sentenced by a Malaga Court on October 4 to 31 days of community service, as well as a year of separation from her daughter and was forbidden to contact her. Now another court has decided to grant sole custody and guardianship of the girl, 15, to her father. The judge adopted the measure as a result of the ‘forceful and dramatic opposition that the girl expressed to the idea of seeing her mother, as a result of the serious episodes of violence that she appeared to have suffered.’ The original incident was in 2014, when the woman met her ex-husband and daughter in the car park of a health centre in Las Albarizas. They began to argue and she began hitting her daughter. Both the girl and her father had to be treated by a doctor for their injuries.

Live long and feel good By Sam Croft THANKS to advances in medical technology and an increased emphasis on the importance of healthy eating and exercise, people are now living longer than ever before. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Malaga City, where the municipality’s oldest resident, Carmen Prieto, clocks in at an impressive 105-yearsold, and she is just one of a handful of centenarians living long in the land of the Boquerones. These golden oldies are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Malaga Province, and in fact represent part of a generalised trend in Spain. Demo-

graphic studies have indicated that in 2005, there were 205,160 people over the age of 65 in Malaga Province. Only 10 years later, in 2015, that number has rocketed up to 267,827: a 30 per cent increase. Not only are people living longer, they are also living better. Demographic studies have indicated it is likely that once 2020 hits and large numbers of ‘baby boomers’ have retired, Spain will possibly be the ‘oldest’ country in the world.

Five injured in collision FIVE people were injured after two cars collided head-on at around 2.30pm on Friday (October 14). The accident took place on the A-355 road which links Marbella with Ojen. Various witnesses alerted emergency workers, who were dispatched to the scene. Three men, aged 20, 43, and 87, were injured in the accident, as well as a six-year-old boy and a 31-year-old woman. All of them were taken to Costa del Hospital with varying injuries.

Wild dogs on a rampage By Eleanor Hawkins A SHEPHERD who had left his flock of 300 sheep in their pens for the night after grazing them in the Sierra de las Nieves hills in Yunquera, was horrified on Sunday morning October 16, to discover it had been attacked by a pack of wild dogs causing 30 deaths. The dogs, many of which were caught by local hunters and rural guards in the area after the attack was reported, are mainly podencos and crossbreeds which the guards believe have taken to living wild after being abandoned by their owners or escaping from country properties. Victor Villalobos, head of the National Association of Rural Guards, said, “There are more of these wild dogs than people think, they live in packs in the wild, preying on wildlife and domestic animals. The shepherd said the 30 deaths have caused him losses of more than €3,000.” The dogs are believed to have terrified the sheep and caused them to break free from the pen and flee. Four were killed by the predators, while another 26 plunged to their

Insurance ordered to shell out A MALAGA court has ordered an insurance company, which had a contract with Malaga City Council, to pay a woman €8,000 for injuries that she suffered after a tree branch fell on her. Additionally, the company will have to pay €1,790 to the owner of a car which was also damaged by the same branch. A representative from the insurance company, which has a collective agreement with the city council, presented a plea, which was dismissed by the judge. The judge concluded that the accident occurred as it had been described by the injured woman, partially due to the testimony of a witness who corroborated her version of events. The judge analysed the situation and ultimately concluded that the city council and the insurance company would have to bear responsibility for the incident. Additionally, the judge indicated that the owner of the car would need to be given compensation so that the vehicle could be restored to the state it was in prior to the accident.

STUNTED HARVEST: Likely due to the lack of rainfall. By Sam Croft ALOREÑA olives have long been a source of pride for Malaga Province. Farmed over 20,000 hectares, particularly in the Guadalhorce and Sierra de las Nieves areas, these tasty olives have attracted increased international attention and prestige in recent years. This season however, Aloreña olive farmers are in the midst of a

crisis as the drought and lack of rainfall in September could see the total harvest slashed by 60 per cent in terms of volume. As a result PP representatives in Andalucia recently asked the Junta de Andalucia regional government to step in and take measures to alleviate the potentially devastating effect the stunted harvest could have on olive farmers and producers.

It is estimated production of Aloreña olives typically generates €10 million for the province with 40 per cent consumed within Malaga Province and the rest exported.

After ground clauses in mortgages comes IRPH: another great fiasco THE Benchmark Mortgage Loan Index, or much known to all, IRPH, is one of the indexes used by various financial institutions to update the interest rate of variable rate mortgages to their customers. The IRPH is obtained by averaging the mortgages price of Spanish financial institutions. One way to detect if a deed has a IRPH Index is to look through the financial clauses for the following sentence: “TIPO MEDIO DE LOS PRESTAMOS HIPOTECARIOS A MAS DE TRES AÑOS DEL CONJUNTO DE ENTIDADES.” If you contracted your Mortgage coinciding with the period of the financial and real estate bubble (2004 onwards), your deed may contain the IRPH mortgage index. Credit institutions realised it sounds much better to say that the mortgage would be revised based on the index IRPH + 0.25 per cent, rather than based on the Euribor + 1 per cent. At the end of the day, who knew the difference between the two rates at that time? The client was told that it was simply a very stable index, or rather not say anything in most cases, also if a ground clause is intro-

Despacho Jurado Grana Abogados E-Mail: juradograna@icamalaga.org Web: www.juradogranaabogados.com

duced, all the better. Since April 2014, some court judgments have passed verdicts which void that Index. Today, courts are forcing banks to repay the extra amounts that customers paid for the inclusion of such an IRPH clause, considered abusive like ground clauses. Therefore, those who are holders of mortgage loans with the IRPH index, may have the opportunity to sue for the annulment of the clause and request a claim for the extra financial outlay. Feel free to request an appointment, where we can make a copy of your mortgage deed and the last payslip, and we will then study the feasibility of your case for free.

Water, explained Juan Alarcon from Ecologistas en Accion, is a topic of great importance in the area and work must be done to change the current culture of squander. MEETING OF MINDS: Environmental issues were the theme of the day.

THE Malaga Provincial Council will soon launch an ambitious reforestation plan which aims to tackle the problems of deforestation and erosion in the province. The ultimate goal of the campaign is to plant a million trees by 2020, largely by means of ‘bombarding’ the air with capsules containing seeds, particularly in areas which have been affected by forest fires or places at risk of erosion. Additionally, many indigenous trees such as pines and holm oaks will be planted, and bushes and shrubs will be taken from the provincial nursery, located in Benamocarra. The first of the plantings will take place with the help of volunteers in Antequera and Villanueva del Rosario on November 6, and further efforts will kick off on later dates. In order to further protect the environment, additional initiatives planned for the future in the province will include changing public streetlighting in municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants, the creation of new bicycle lanes, and the improvement of waste management.

The Costa continues to charm foreigners By Sam Croft THE touristic boom shows no signs of slowing down in Spain. The country, a perennial favourite for Brits looking for a quick getaway from gloomy weather and over-boiled vegetables, is now attracting a new tourist profile: North Americans. Like grizzly bears snapping up salmon or cowboys lassoing bucking broncos, North American tourists are grabbing transatlantic flights with a feverish degree of frequency. In addition to its world-renowned gastronomy, culture, and weather, Spain is one of the top destinations in the world when it comes to international flights, meaning that a short visit to other European nations is within easy reach. Andalucia was the third most preferred destination in Spain for North American tourists in 2015, beaten only by Cataluña and Madrid, with the

Costa del Sol doing a large chunk of the business. Last year, Spain registered 1.5 million tourists from the United States alone, which meant a growth of 23.6 per cent in respect to the year before. Touristic and promotional entities are now aiming to zero in on this lucrative new demographic to bring in more revenue, after what is shaping up to be a banner year for tourism in the Costa del Sol and the nation as a whole. The Junta de Andalucia regional government is currently in talks with Delta Airlines, with the aim of uniting Malaga and New York City through direct flights on a daily basis by 2018. This year represented the first time that Delta Air Lines began flights from Malaga to New York prior to June, as the route kicked off this time around on May 17.

HAPPY SMILE: Tourists from North America are flocking to the Costa del Sol.

Mod cons to help officers By Eleanor Hawkins ALHAURIN DE LA TORRE Council has provided its Local Police with the latest technology available for police and security forces. Officers have received an intensive course in the use of the new systems, designed by Eurocop group, which will allow them access to the most up-to-date

software and applications for police forces. Citizens’ Security Councillor Salvador Herrera explained that the new systems aim to allow the force to make the most of Information and Communications Technologies to facilitate their work and guarantee their safety, while providing a better service to the public. Built around a unique database, the applications available to officers will allow

them to carry out a long list of tasks including traffic management, reports, task planning, and administrative procedures, among others and will be connected to the DGT traffic authority’s databases. This project is the latest in a series of measures aimed to improve Alhaurin’s Local Police force which include recent purchases of new vehicles and bullet proof vests.

Coward is caught out A THIRTY-TWO-year old Spanish insurance salesman has been arrested in Malaga by the National Police for using a client’s identity to place a complaint at the Consumers’ Office.

Officers discovered the man had had problems at the gym, but was scared to use his own name on the complaint. When told he could not place an anonymous complaint, he allegedly used details of a client from the insurance company’s database, the police explained.

POSIDONIAS: Little known underwater plants.

Taking the plunge By Sam Croft LITTLE over a decade ago, only a select few in Estepona knew what ‘posidonias’ were. Flash forward a few years, and many of the wanderers along the seafront have at least a generalised idea, ‘those protected plants that are in the sea.’ Up to two large stretches of ‘posidonias’ in Estepona are considered by the European Union to be Places of Community Interest, and every year, under the volunteer campaign ‘POSIMED,’ diving surveys are carried out on to check in on the state of these underwater treasures.

This particular year, these aquatic adventures will take place on November 5 and 6 and will be undertaken at the hands of 12 volunteer divers. Coordinators of the programme have indicated that 900 volunteer divers are registed in Andalucia, and around 90 of these will be chosen for a series of expeditions all along the coast of the region. The work of these divers will be to take samples and measurements of the ‘posidonias,’ which in Estepona are located in the areas of El Saladillo and La Rada Beach, in addition to monitoring what kinds of changes the plants have suffered over the course of the last year.

INLAND MALAGA: Visitors are likely to break the one million barrier this year.

Heading off to the hinterland By Sam Croft IN recent years, the Caminito del Rey has emerged as the star attraction of the occasionally overlooked interior of Malaga Province. However, the much-touted walkway is far from the only option available for tourists yearning for an inland sojourn. The recent declaration of the Dolmenes of Antequera as a Cultural Heritage Site has positioned the megalithic structures as yet

another magnet aiding the interior of the province in its bid to lure in hordes of adventurous holidaygoers. Meanwhile, the Gran Senda (the Great Path) and the Sierra de las Nieves National Park offer further alternatives for tourists looking for something slightly more rugged or offbeat. As a result of the growing interest in inland tourism, early estimates have indicated it is likely that the interior of Malaga Province will break

the one million visitor barrier for the very first time this year. In 2016, the Caminito del Rey alone attracted 130,000 visitors between the months of April and September. Meanwhile, various offers and discounts on rural accommodation have resulted in an 18 per cent increase in tourists in the interior of the province up until July, an increase which is expected to continue unabated over the remaining months of the year.

New management

TORREMOLINOS: The conference centre now managed by the town council. By Eleanor Hawkins THE conference and exhibition centre in Torremolinos is now under direct management of the town council, following dissolution of the public society which had been running it. The society, which was fully financed by the council and had been running the centre since 1996, was dissolved under the Local Administration Sustainability Law of 2012, which provided for automatic dissolution of public entities with a deficit on December 1 2015. Public Administration Councillor Carmen

Garcia Bernal stressed that this in no way meant the centre would be closed, simply that it would be run by the council directly. Now a liquidator will have to deal with dissolution of the society, which could occur before the end of the year. The centre staff will then become municipal personnel. “The centre is a jewel that we are lucky to have, and it will be even more important once the neighbouring leisure and commercial centre ‘Intu’ building is developed,” Garcia Bernal said.

BENALMADENA Mayor Victor Navas, is to travel to Madrid this week to meet the team that decides the allocation of EU Federal Funds, to appeal against a decision not to provide money for the ‘Benalmadena Estrategia 2025’ project. The mayor explained he was very disappointed Benalmadena had not been included in the towns for which funding has been approved and pledged to fight to obtain them. “We did a conscientious job and prepared a project which met all the requirements with contributions from all social sectors, so we want an explanation on why it hasn’t been approved,” the mayor said. The project, he explained, covers a broad range of improvements to the area, including work to turn Avenida Antonio Machado into a boulevard with gardens, and sustainable, environmentally friendly urban projects.

Blast cash raiders strike again By Simon Firth RAIDERS who have been blowing up the front of buildings to get at cash machines, have struck again, the seventh attack since July. A branch of the Santander bank in La Cala del Moral was targeted most recently by the group who have previously used acetylene gas cylinders to blast their way in. But their efforts to measure the amount of explosive material needed have often failed and in a number of the incidents the building has been almost entirely demolished or the money and cash machine destroyed. Experts with the National Police and Guardia Civil say that in some instances explosive materials have been abandoned at the scene. Detectives have raised concerns about the possibility of a trap in which investigating officers could be injured in secondary explosions. Accordingly, they have issued instructions that must be adhered to by officers who are first on the scene. This maintains the first priority must be to help anyone found injured at the scene, but not to go near the

Post Brexit farming plans EXPATRIATES are far from the only people in Andalucia concerned as to what the future may bring post Brexit. In fact, the agricultural sector is already working on plans to cope, bearing in mind that the UK is currently the region’s fourth largest export customer with €888 million worth of produce sold to the country last year. This was stressed at the regional parliament last week by Agriculture, Fishing and Rural Development delegate Carmen Ortiz, who spoke of the next Agricultural Strategy for 2016-2020. Ortiz told the Agricultural Commission that the Junta de Andalucia regional government has three specific goals regarding the impact of Brexit on the agricultural sector. The first is to minimise the impact on budgets, especially on direct aids and funds for rural development, the second to update and improve mechnisms to manage market crises, and the third to revise agreements with countries such as Morocco. The delegate urged all political groups and social organisations to “work together to defend the interests of Andalucia,” and announced that she would keep farmers informed of the results of the Junta’s studies to allow them to contribute to a plan of action for the future. Regarding conclusions reached so far by the Junta’s Brexit impact committee, Ortiz spoke of two main areas. The first, that the UK being outside the EU would mean Spain would have to compete against more countries to maintain its custom, and the second that Andalucia will receive less agricultural funding.

VEHICLE REPAIRS: Are easier with original parts.

MALAGA PROVINCE: New road surveillance cameras installed.

By Sam Croft THE Directorate-General of Traffic (DGT) has installed a total of 18 cameras on the roads of Malaga Province in the hopes of spotting passengers and drivers who are breaking the rules. Specifically, the cameras have been installed as a way to detect passengers and drivers not wearing seatbelts, and drivers who are using

their mobile phones. Malaga is the Spanish Province with the second highest amount of these new surveillance cameras, beaten only by Sevilla with 20. Andalucia, meanwhile, is the region with the most cameras, 58, which represents 25.7 per cent of the overall national total. Eight of the new cameras are located along the A-7 motorway, the rest can be found

watching over assorted roads throughout the province. Last year, 4,694 fines were given out in Malaga Province to people using their mobile phones while driving, and 3,709 people were punished for not using their seatbelts or child restraint systems. The typical fine in these cases is €200, and the offenders also usually have three points knocked off their licences.

Repairer network exclusively uses OEM parts OEM parts OEM parts are Original Equipment Manufactured parts as made by your car’s manufacturer. They are brand new, usually more expensive and sometimes take longer to order. But they are a no brainer. Body shops love them because they fit perfectly and are easy to install. Línea Directa only uses OEM parts Línea Directa is the only insurance company that guarantees the use of OEM parts in their repairer network. Thanks to an exclusive purchasing and distribution agreement with the major manufacturers, when you repair your vehicle through its exclusive network of body shops and repairers, they guarantee the use of OEM parts. After vehicle repairs are complete, they send a list of the OEM parts used for you to keep in your log book. It’s one less thing to worry about. Do all insurance companies use OEM parts? At the time of publishing this article, no other insurance company in Spain guarantees the exclusive use of OEM parts in their repairer network. Some insurance companies rely on aftermarket parts

and used parts to keep the repair costs to a minimum, only paying for OEM parts if no other parts are available. After-market parts are parts made by a company other than your vehicle’s manufacturer. They are new and the spec should be very close to the original specs. However, some minor fitting adjustments may be required by the body shop. Used parts come from the scrap yard. Cars involved in accidents, engine trouble or age, mean that scrapped cars will have some working parts, which can be resold. The used parts are usually OEM parts. National network of body shop repairers Using the Línea Directa network to repair your car means more than just OEM parts. The whole repair service is handled from start to finish. Your vehicle is collected at the agreed time and place. The repairs are carried out swiftly, efficiently and according to original manufacturer specs. You can request a replacement vehicle for the duration of the repair. They will keep you updated on progress and after completion your vehicle will be delivered at the agreed time and place.

Raccoon festival

POPULAR PETS: People were given tips on how best to care for them. ST PETERSBURG held w ha t mus t be one of the w orld’s more unus ua l events. Residents of the cultural city gathered for the first edition of the Raccoon Festival. The animals are increasingly popular household pets in Russia and people were given tips on how best to care for them.

Veggie victims VLADIVOSTOK police were called out to assist an alarmed man who accused his w ife of forc ing the ir children to be vegetarian and stunting their growth. Social services were also called but as the children w e re found to be in good health and happy with their mothe r, the re was no reason for a criminal investigation.

Cheats and frauds HISTORIANS have denounced the decision to allow Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky to keep his PhD despite it being compared to a propaganda pamphlet packed with absurdities. The angry historians point to ‘grave er-

rors’ in his thesis and also claim that 33 politicians who ran for parliament cheated or lied in their doctorial papers.

Tense times BORIS JOHNSON is an official enemy of the Motherland. The floppy-haired British foreign secretary accused Russia of war crimes over its alleged bombardment of Aleppo. Moscow has called his comments ‘Russophobic hysteria’ and suggested that it is the Kremlin which should be offended over the West’s intransience and hypocrisy over Syria.

Russia at the European court of human rights. The antiPutin activist was unlawfully detained at Moscow airport for five hours as he tried to attend an opposition rally. Police claimed they were simply investigating counterfeit tickets that day.

Impending doom RUSSIAN news sites reported that the Kremlin had told senior officials abroad to send their families home in anticipation of war. It comes after a mass emergency preparation operation in Moscow. With nuclear missiles being moved to central Europe and former president Mikhail Gorbachev warning of serious danger, tensions are very high.

MARMITE: Like Brexit, you either love it or hate it!

Tesco and Unilever clash ONE of Britain’s largest manufacturers of branded foodstuffs, Unilever, announced that because of Brexit and the drop in value of the pound it will be increasing its wholesale cast to retailers to ensure it maintains its profit margins. Whilst no retailer is happy with this decision, one of the supermarket giants, Tesco has decided this is not accessible and has started to ration or remove certain Unilever products from its online offers which means such staples as PG Tips and Marmite may be more difficult to purchase. As yet, other supermarkets are waiting to see what the outcome will be before taking any

action although budget stores such as Aldi and Lidl may well be laughing as so much of their product is own label and any price increase by competitors is likely to push more business their way as people look to purchase products for less. Market analysts see this as the normal start to any price negotiation between two behemoths of the retail business which they believe will be resolved with a three-way split of the price increase. In such a scenario, Unilever will reduce the increase slightly, Tesco will accept a small loss of profits and the consumer will see the bulk of the increase appear on supermarket shelves.

WITH the various Spanish political parties due to meet with King Felipe prior to October 31 to see whether it will be possible to form a new government without the need for a third election, interim Economy Minister Luis de Guindos has confirmed his belief that in order to have any chance of meeting the requirements of the European Union to go nearer to balancing the budget, the new government will need to reduce spending by at least €5.5 billion per annum.

Monarch as one of it main strengths was its routes to North Africa and Egypt which have seen major dropouts of holiday passengers and the fact that it has to compete with the major budget airlines as well as holiday airlines run by Thompson and Tui. Whilst all is resolved for the short term, the long term may see Britain’s oldest airline consigned to the history books or taken over by a more prosperous group.

UK house prices FOLLOWING a period when UK house prices stagnated when the Brexit result was known, the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors has revealed that house prices in September had risen due to a slight increase in confidence and the fact that the number of properties being offered for sale had dropped. The rise was the first in seven months and may continue to grow as foreign investors take advantage of the weak pound in order to purchase investment properties and this in turn may help to keep the market buoyant.

Deutsche Bank rocked with huge fine Photo credit Wikipedia

By Matthew Elliott GERMANY’s biggest bank is facing a potential €12.7 billion penalty from the US Department of Justice over mis-selling of mortgage bonds. Deutsche Bank was found to have sold mortgages as residential mortgage based securities alongside many other European banks in the wake of the financial crisis.

€12.7 billion, the potential penalty faced by Deutsche Bank over mis-selling of mortgage bonds. The case is panicking global investors and the International Monetary Fund which has named the bank as posing the largest risk to the world financial system. Deutsche Bank’s value on the stock market is estimated at roughly €16 billion and the potential penalty would be one of the biggest in history for mis-selling mortgage bonds. Deutsche Bank does have a variety of assets it can sell to raise funds if necessary. In total they are estimated at €1.6 trillion, around half the output of the German economy, and its liquidity buffer is a healthy €215 billion.

TWIN TOWERS: Frankfurt is home of the Deutsche Bank.

The greater picture isn’t so rosy. Deutsche Bank’s share price has halved in the past year, plunging to a near 30-year low last week. The 2015 return on regulatory capital was negative, and stress tests conducted by the European Union this summer found it to be the least resilient of the key continental banks. It is also one of the world’s most heavily interconnected banks alongside Barclays and HSBC and is considered the most likely candidate should another Lehman Brothers-style collapse usher in a fresh era of recession and uncertainty. German media report that the government is considering taking over a quarter of the bank which could ease a possible merger with domestic rival Commerzbank and strengthen its regulatory capital ratios. What happens next depends to a great extent on the final fine issued by the American DoJ. There are realistic expectations that the €12.7 billion may be reduced in light of the evidence that Deutsche Bank may be ‘too big to fail,’ meaning its collapse would pose a risk to other banks and catalyse a disastrous domino effect. Deutsche Bank has steadfastly avoided tapping its shareholders for capital but may have to if pushed into a corner by the American verdict. The bank is also battling more than 7,000 separate legal cases and already wields a €5.5 billion litigation kitty.

THERE are more billionaires on planet Earth than ever before but on average each of them is slightly poorer after another rocky year for the global economy. A joint analysis published by UBS and PricewaterhouseCoopers estimates that the total wealth of the global billionaire population plummeted by some €270 billion in the past year. With roughly 1,400 billionaires across the world that represents an average loss of €235 million each. Falling commodity prices and lacklustre growth in the technology field were highlighted as chief causes of the decline. “It is too early to tell if the past 30 years extraordinary period of wealth creation is coming to an end, but it is clearly slowing” concluded the authors. Another striking feature of the report was the shift-

ing geography and demographics of the global billionaire class. There are still more billionaires in the US than in any other country but only 41 Americans smashed through the platinum ceiling last year, compared to 113 across Asia. Given that 36 American billionaires either died or were relegated to millionaire status the net gain was only five. Young Chinese entrepreneurs are the fastest growing segment of the new real estate, retail and technology elite. Despite the shifting sands for many people the song remains the same. According to Forbes the world’s richest man is the familiar Bill Gates of Microsoft, who just edges ahead of Spanish Zara founder Amancio Ortega. European financial royalty has also seen little

Shutterstock

Bad news for most billionaires change. The continent is considered the best at keeping wealth but not creating it through the continued longevity of the heredity lines of super rich families. The vast majority of billionaires are self-made, although only one in six female billionaires earned their own fortune. The richest self-made woman is Zhou Qunfei, the founder of Lens Technology, a touchscreen maker which sells to Apple and Samsung. One super-rich entrepreneur who hasn’t seen his fortune diminish in the global financial climate is Facebook chief Mark Zuckerburg, who is now the world’s fifth richest person with an estimated €40 billion treasure chest at the age of just 32.

‘Blame Brexit’ sweeps Europe

DAVID DAVIS: Fighting Britain’s corner in the protracted divorce. By Matthew Elliott AFTER British prime minister Theresa May met with her Spanish counterpart mariano Rajoy in Madrid for crunch Brexit talks concerning expat pensions and the fate of Gibraltar, Downing Street found itself deflecting claims the UK is set to face a whopping ‘divorce bill’ of €20 billion when it leaves the EU. Analysis from the Financial Times found that there are more than €300 billion of shared liabilities and, as an early departure from the European party, Britain will be forced to cough up its share in any future separation agreement. Unpaid budget appropriations, pensions liabilities and other commitments make up the bulk of the €20 billion figure, which No 10 has refused to comment on, stating only that it wouldn’t be dragged into a “running commentary on the details.” The news that Britain is due another hefty financial

hit did little to help keep the pound afloat as it continued oscillating between a 30-year low against the dollar and more manageable territory.

If a majority rule that parliament has the ultimate authority then it paves the way for MPs to simply vote against triggering Article 50.” One estimate from AFEX reckoned that the pound could sink as far as $1.15 by the end of the first quarter of 2017, suggesting that, despite volatile ups and downs, the long-term outlook is negative. David Davis, who along with Boris Johnson and Liam Fox has been charged with fighting Britain’s corner in the protracted divorce, has dismissed the fears and suggested that banks and EU chiefs are simply pampering themselves at a ‘blame Brexit festival.’

Much of what happens next will hinge on the crucial court case heard this week at London’s Royal Courts of Justice. Three of the country’s top judges deliberated over whether parliament, rather than government ministers, has the authority to notify Brussels that Britain is withdrawing from the EU. If a majority rule that parliament has the ultimate authority then it paves the way for MPs to simply vote against triggering Article 50 and therefore preventing the referendum result from taking shape. Putting parliament in the driving seat would also dramatically complicate the already fractious negotiation process. With 26 member states each wielding a veto, and 27 separate parliaments (including the UK’s) having to cobble together enough support among their various coalitions to give any future deal the green light, the €20 billion figure could be the least of the government’s concerns.

Purge the Sturge – you know it makes sense LEAPY LEE SAYS IT

OTHERS THINK IT CALL me completely out of touch and naive, but can any one of my Scottish friends tell me that Nicola Sturgeon and her party retain anything more than their own blind ambitions and dislike of the English in their political aspersions and endeavours? They are now (in barely disguised panic mode) hell-bent on bringing in a second referendum for Scottish independence before we leave the EU. (Told ya so!) Can we just draw back for a minute and consider the possible scenarios here? In a couple of years or so all financial income from the EU will cease. Indepen-

This will leave Scotland, with the only chance of any outside financial input relying on their being independently accepted into the EU, which they most certainly won’t be, and anyone who th in k s o th e rw i s e is living in cloud cuckoo land. Scotland will then be left entirely dependent on its exports, the only significant one being its rap id ly d w in d ling s upply of N o rth S ea o il a nd ga s – a nd that’s it. With the country curren tly a lre a d y w a llow ing in more debt than even the beleaguered Greeks, just how long do the previously canny Scots think their country can survive with this catastrophic drop in their in-

We need you ‘in’. And without doubt, dear Scotland you need both her and her party of miscreants, well and truly out. Purge the Sturge. You know it makes sense.

The shame of circus live animals I AM ashamed that Mijas Town Hall can’t keep their word after saying that they wouldn’t have circuses with live animals any more. I am trying to get these two elephants put in a wild life park and really the tigers they have also need to be put in a wild life park, where children can still see them without putting these animals through this. Constantly in cages on the road, these animals have been going around Spain for over 20 years to my knowledge. These animals are the same animals and the circus that was Berlin Circus is now Las Vegas circus and now hiding the animals from prying eyes. I can’t believe that they think the public are so stupid. If you agree with my opinion don’t go to the circus, then maybe these people will get the message. Trilby

Birthday dispute THE season around December 25 had a pre-Christian origin. In agrarian societies the ‘bleak mid-winter’ solstice was experienced as the birthday of the sun-god, ‘the luminous divine child.’ Jesus being born at this time of year contradicts the facts of life in that area. Shepherds ‘abiding in the field’ does not happen then. The flocks are already inside by late autumn. Jesus began his ministry aged 30 and ended three and a half years later when crucified at Passover which occurs in late March. That places His birth in autumn, probably late September. Jesus and His disciples never acknowledged His birth, crucifixion or resurrection. I hope this letter spares at least one person suffering needlessly overwhelming anxiety and/or crippling debts. Happy holiday. David

Just who exactly are we? I READ with interest your article on the court battle taking place in London over the essential legality of Brexit. I’m no lawyer but I have to say I absolutely agree that parliament, not the voters, should have the final say on when we leave and how we do it. In fact the House of Commons should decide whether we leave at all! It irritates me no end when Leave campaigners claim that “the people have spoken” and try to portray the vote as a democratic revolution. The truth is that it was a narrow victory, edged by the Leavers by a small margin and largely thanks to

on almost every piece of legislation, you just might have a surprise in store after this not elected prime minister inevitably screws up. What government cabinet minister urges, nay demands, demonstrations on the streets of London, outside the Russian Embassy? That’s what bumbling Boris did and to suggest that Mr Khan the London mayor would prevent the police from doing their job is scandalous. What you are suggesting is nonsense, if all this rhetoric is so important to you why do you live in Spain? Can’t you start peddling your usual dross about the country you live in, not the country you deserted? Philip

the spread of lies and scaremongering. The figure of 17 million is thrown around a lot, but the UK has a population of 64 million. That means around three quarters of the public didn’t vote for Brexit and yet here we are... and what about the 16 million that voted against it? Are they not “the people?” Because they lost? Is that who we are? We elect politicians to make these decisions. That’s not a perfect system to be sure. Most of them are selfish idiots but if we want a different system let’s talk about it like adults, not let the ‘will of the nation’ be determined by a loud minority. Anna

Seriously selfish AT about 9:10am every day except Sunday, a van selling goods comes around the area and for over half an hour the driver continuously bangs his loud horn in the area like a demented kid with a new toy, despite his customers usually waiting for him as he turns up at the same time every day. He starts about 100 metres away before reaching the house next door to me. I have had the same elsewhere in Spain. Are these selfish people allowed? I have seen the police stop the people selling melons from the back of

a van in town, but how about people selling bread and such in country areas where there are no police? They need no licence to sell and many probably don’t pay any taxes. Are these people legal? Can they be stopped, or at least told to keep horn use to a minimum? Michael

Feria facts DAVE in last week’s edition (1632), wrote about the police moving on a band at Fuengirola port and made an unfounded suggestion that it was because the bar was English owned. Fact: The band was playing close to several bars, not in a bar, and it was at the request of bar owners that

the police took action because it was interfering with their businesses. Dave inappropriately compared that incident with Fuengirola Feria. He said, “As the Feria was all Spanish no one in authority gave a damn.” Fact: There has been a feria ground at its present location in Fuengirola for at least 30 years, and was ‘on the town plan’ for several years prior to the construction of all the apartments adjacent to that area. Thus, like me, I have lived for 15 years within 150 metres of the Fuengirola feria ground, all owners even from before construction of their properties knew when they bought there would be several feria type activities every year. It was our choice to buy in that location. About four or five years ago the town hall took steps to ensure the noise created by the ferias was considerably reduced throughout all the hours of operation, and it now stops earlier than previously. Elaine

Cycling controversy IN issue 1632, there was a letter with the headline ‘Cyclists know the law in Spain,’ the headline is somewhat misleading. Either they do or don’t. The writer suggests that I wrote the letter before speaking to the authorities. I had in fact asked the N332 group what the law was some 12 months previous and was informed that it is illegal to ride a bicycle on the footpath or against the flow of traffic in a one way street. Their articles confirmed what I had been told. I think that if a cyclist was to run into somebody with serious injuries ensuing, the law would place its hand on their shoulder wherever they are in Spain. Thank you for helping me and others who feel the same way. John

Apple has already poached more than 1,000 engineers from top firms in the motoring world, including former Aston Martin and Tesla brainiac Chris Porritt. It has bought several enormous sites in California and Germany for research and development and registered the domain names apple.car and apple.auto and has reportedly been in talks to buy McLaren. Given Apple’s niche is innovation the iCar will almost certainly be a self-driving electric vehicle.

Giving up is something a Lauda doesn’t do.

ROAD TEST by Nick Fletcher IN addition to using test cars for daily domestic driving, I also use a circular route of around 80 miles of mixed roads which I use to help assess cars. Recently, something very strange happened. When I got back to base, I drove the whole route again - just for pure pleasure of driving the latest Mazda MX-5. While you can’t say a lot about the space, comfort and practicality of a two-seater sports car, you can say a lot about its driving dynamics. And in the case of the MX-5, they are just brilliant. The steering is pin-sharp, the gearshift slick, the chassis balance and suspension set-up keep the car glued to the tarmac, and the exhaust soundtrack is glorious. Priced from £18,310 (€20,344) the MX-5 is a bargain in its sector. OK, there are rival models that are faster, with more kit and often nearly twice the price - but they are less engaging to drive and far less fun. My test model used the 1.5 litre 128 hp engine (there is a two-litre with more mid-range power) and it was smooth and keen with its power delivery and 60 mph is reached in a

whisker over eight seconds. That’s nowhere near Porsche performance but such is the charisma and agility of the MX-5, it often feels like it! Top speed is 127 mph and fuel economy is 47.1 mpg combined. Cornering is a joyous experience, the grip astonishly good. Ride quality is not that high on the sports car buyer’s priority list but even so, this sporty little Mazda offers decent comfort without

sacrificing its poise and stability. Two-seater soft tops are all about the driving, and rightly so. Flip the hood down (its manual, just one quick-release lever) throw a couple of holdalls in the boot (at just 130 litres, not room for much more) and get on your way with the wind in your hair. The test model was in SE-L Nav trim, costing £20,195 (€22,438) and creature comforts included 7-inch touchsreen, sat-nav, Bluetooth, DAB radio, cruise control with speed limiter, climate control and alloys wheels. Cabin space is comfortable for two adults, the dashboard is laid out well with main dials straight in front of the driver and buttons on the steering wheels. Oddments space is minimal and there is no glovebox. Launched more than 25 years ago, the MX-5 has become a modern classic, an iconic design. Almost one million have been sold and in Europe, the UK is its most popular market. This latest version, offers near-perfect sports car driving.

Record car sales hit in Europe for September BERLIN: Pilot programme to take place in Germany.

Oh Lord, won’t you rent me... please! By Matthew Elliott JANIS JOPLIN might approve of Mercedes’ new plans, if she could wrap her head around the uber corporate motoring behemoth taking a page out of the hippie

playbook and offering owners the chance to rent out their cars. Not out of sheer generosity of course, rather for cold hard cash. Under a pilot programme to take effect in Germany next month owners can

volunteer to have their car equipped with a box connecting it to an online platform. Interested drivers will then be able to see the car’s history, looks, and stats online and book it for a spin on the free dates made available.

Future electric avenues PLANS are afoot to demand every new or refurbished home across the EU has an electric vehicle charging point after 2019. The EU directive comes as countries including Norway and the Netherlands forge plans to ban the sale of petrol or diesel cars in the new decade.

Plans extend to public buildings which will be expected to provide outlets as the motoring world prepares for a transformative switch of gears. Millions of charging stations across Europe would strengthen its power network as cars supply energy back into the grid.

Described as an “Airbnb for cars” by CEO Dieter Zetsche, the programme shows that Mercedes view car-sharing as a serious component of future ownership. People would easily be able to hire out one another’s cars for a day trip, weekend or commute, paying online through their smart phone and logging in their details and sharing reviews of the cars much as people already do for accommodation. Drivers will also be rated on their skills and penalised for any accidents, being blacklisted if they cause damage.

EUROPEAN car sales grew by 7.3 per cent across September, with volume and premium brands both signalling strong growth, as the industry continues its slow climb out of its worst ever crisis. Registrations of new passenger cars in the European Union and the European Free Trade Association rose to 1.496 million vehicles in September, a seasonally strong month, compared with 1.395 million in 2015, the Brussels-based Association of European Carmakers, ACEA, said. Renault posted the largest gain among major carmakers with an 18.7 per cent increase, although its French home market edged up just 2.5 per cent. Fiat Chrysler jumped 14.2 per cent, helped by doubledigit growth in Italy, Spain and Portugal. For the 28-nation EU excluding Malta, the 1.46 million tally, a 7.2 per cent gain year-on-year, marked a new record for September,

ACEA said, adding the region’s top five markets of Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Spain kept growing. PSA dropped 5.8 per cent, with the Peugeot brand, Citroen and the upscale DS line all showing declines. Ford was the only other major carmaker in the red, with sales down 0.7 per cent. Volkswagen, a year after its emissions scandal came to light, posted a 3.3 per cent advance in European registrations, its fourth-best monthly result this year. Luxury badges BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Lexus posted double-digit or near double-digit growth.

Road safety or robot ? WOULD you trust an autonomous car? That was the question put to British motorists in a wide ranging survey and the answer was a resounding no. The behavioural scientists behind the research found out what anyone probably could have guessed – people don’t really trust machines, especially new-fangled ones zooming them along a packed motorway at 80mph surrounded by thousands of other ‘self-aware’ motorised computers. Almost seven in 10 said that people should be in control of their cars at all times, while more than half said they would feel uncomfortable even sharing the road with an autonomous vehicle. The main reason given was that the self driving cars would simply lack the common sense needed on the roads where human error is frequent and it’s essential to be able to take quick instinctive action to avoid a crash. People also wondered what would happen in the event of a technical malfunction and thought the flow of cars would be very difficult for a machine to judge.

The bike is being promoted as virtually un-crashable. Foresight features will constantly monitor the bike’s route, speed, angles, and environment and intervene when things get too dangerous. Even when the bike is stationary, gyroscopes prevent it from falling over.

Bold attempt to smash the land speed barrier SOUTH AFRICA is a frequent destination for daredevils eager to take advantage of its desolate terrain, flat desert and calm weather. So its no surprise that next year the country’s Kalahari Desert will be the site of a bold attempt to smash the current land speed record. More than 18,000 tons of stone has already been shifted by hand in an area known as Hakskeenpan, an epic stretch of mud and salt pitch perfect for G-Force adventure. Next year the Bloodhound SSC will take to the 22 million square mile bed, the largest space ever cleared for man’s enduring love affair with motoring madness and attempt to burst

through the 800mph barrier. British daredevil Andy Green, who is a Royal Air Force fighter pilot by day, will be in the cockpit. Green already holds the world land speed record at 763mph but reckons almost two decades worth of technological advancements since then will be enough to see him sail past the speed of sound. If it all goes well then

Green and his trusty Bloodhound will be back in South Africa in 2018 aiming for 1,000mph and a pinch of immortality.

WARNING: the following contains strong language right from the start! What the **** … Well, this is a family newspaper, after all, so I suppose I’d better tone it down a bit. What is happening is that I am so stunned I need to lie down in a dark room and let my blood pressure drop. Meanwhile, why not flick ahead to the crossword page or go and make that cup of coffee… Hey, me again. I thought at first it was a belated April Fool’s joke but no. The article I just re-read is only too true, and my blood pressure has started rising rapidly. Again. And not in a good way. After weeks of depressing news about Syria, refugees, Putin, Corbyn, lecher-in-chief (‘on the gropes’) Trump, who unexpectedly emerges from the woodwork? Yes. You guessed: Tony Blair. Blair could return to a frontline role in British politics, he heavily

TONY BLAIR: Saviour of the UK? hints, to try to prevent Theresa May’s Conservative Party from destroying the country with a so-

called ‘hard Brexit’ and save it from a Labour Party he describes as “ultra-left that takes us back to

the 1960s. In the UK at the mome nt yo u’ ve got a one- par t y state.”

The problem is that Blair’s politics have been tainted by his wars, discredited by some dreadful decisions and, latterly, his money-making schemes. Yes, in laying the ground work by separating himself from his finances and getting involved in the charitable side of his empire, he’s testing the water about a possible return to politics. However, as the country lurches deeper and deeper into a state of uncertainty and confusion, at last there is something everyone (right, left, centre, Brexiteers, Remainers etc) can totally agree about: he is definitely not the man to lead the UK to the centre ground. Nurse, the screens please! That’s better, I’m back on the meds... I’ve calmed down now. But as for you Tony, maybe time to switch to a new diet? Leave off the sour grapes and stick to humble pie... and just desserts, eh?

Fruit farmers put squeeze on thieves By Matt Ford A BATTLE between farmers and an increasingly-sizeable army of modern-day scrumpers has erupted in Axarquia, as this year’s crops of mangoes, avocados, and other subtropical fruits enter their peak period of output. The trade is worth €250 million a year to the province which has seen a sudden and marked increase in large-scale crop thefts. This has led five local municipalities to join forces in a combined effort to tackle the fruit thieves who are stealing hundreds of kilos a day. On Tuesday October 18, Local Police forces based in Alcaucin, Benamargosa, Benamocarra, Canillas de Aceituno and La Viñuela signed an official agreement to co-operate and co-ordinate their efforts to combat the fruit raiders. The deal is also designed to “improve public safety,” according to mayor of Alcaucin, Mario Blancke, who said there had been a recent spike in smash-and-grab raids on private homes in addition to the crop-pilfering. The team will also work closely with their local counterparts in Velez-Malaga, plus ground and air-based National Police patrols. The aim is to comb the region on a daily basis over the coming weeks and months, with the harvest set to continue until spring. Subtropical fruit has become a popular target for crooks due to its high profitability and the fact that large chunks of Axarquia have become dominated by the exotic varieties. Agricultural groups are also calling for citizen cooperation, appealing for residents to report sus-

Many of the bandits travel hundreds of kilometres before selling on their ill-gotten gains, taking advantage of “widespread ignorance among consumers throughout Spain,” the authorities said. Some farmers have banded together to form informal surveillance teams who work in shifts to watch over each other’s land, while trade union

ASAJA has demanded that the Junta de Andalucia’s Interior Ministry designate a specialist outfit to combat the issue, as they have for Antequera and the Guadalhorce Valley. The Junta’s delegate in Malaga responded that it has already established a special device which operates from a helicopter at night.

Choose Favells for top quality products IT was in 2006 that Malcolm Favell followed a dream and opened a very special business which originally offered original and unusual garden furniture to those in the vicinity of Mijas. Ten years on and the business has seen an incredible growth offering a much larger range of products from its 1,500 square metre showroom at Camino de Coin km1.5, Poligono San Rafel, Nave 2, 29651, Mijas Costa. This incredible emporium stocks a huge range of garden furniture, patio heaters, barbeques, outdoor saunas, pergolas, and now an incredible range of spas ranging in price from €3,999 to €29,000. The latest style is the new concept swimming spa which does what it says, allowing swimming combined with a spa option. What is less widely known is that the company sells to both individuals and bars, clubs, and restaurants, so the large stock turnover allows Favells to ensure the most recent designs are al-

Malcolm Favell and his top of the range spa. ways in stock. Having come to an arrangement with European manufacturer Wellis, probably the world’s fastest growing spa company, Malcolm has sold just over 150 spa units in the first year, and he

expects this number to double over the coming year as more and more people recognise the quality of the Wellis product. Favells offers a range of high quality materials and backs this up with speedy delivery, Mal-

colm likes to offer a same-day service where he possibly can, as the company has a 3,000 square metre warehouse containing up to 100 spas and nearly 40 containers worth of additional products. So successful has the spa business been that Malcolm Favell is poised to build a dedicated spa area where all 40 of his current models can be seen together, and there is an incredible range. When the company took delivery of the €29,000 model, it was convinced that this absolute top of the range, heavy duty infinity spa would be sold to a hotel or club, but within a very short period of time it was snapped up a by a local resident for installation at his villa. Another vital aspect of the business is that Favells will happily deliver and install, and its technicians know what they are doing having sold so many high quality products over their 10 years of trading. The showroom is open Monday to Thursday from 10am to 7pm, Friday 10am to 6pm, and Saturday 10am to 2pm, and there is plenty of parking right outside.

Presenting Housers the first platform for real estate crowd-funding in Spain The revolutionary, alternative investment strategy, that’s safe, secure, and profitable with minimal risk. THE current return on investment in real estate outshines other products like bank deposits, stocks, shares, pension funds, treasury bills, bonds, and traditional real estate. Normally, property investment involves substantial sums of money, or a mortgage just to buy one property, with more risks and possible long-term debt. But by ‘crowd-funding’ the opportunities are endless. The term speaks for itself and basically means this: a union of people investing varying sums of money to finance something, in this case property. Investments start from as little as 50 euros. You can invest in just one property or as many as are available, depending on your financial situation and goals. You may also wonder if there is much risk of losing your capital but, as we are talking of a physical asset that is normally located in the centre of big cities like Madrid or Barcelona, the risk is very minimal indeed. There are no catches or small print concerns to worry about either, as everything is above board and transparent, with full sup-

porting and notarised legal documentation provided for every investment you make. You make money from monthly rental AND the eventual sale when the time is right. The return on investment with Housers far exceeds other investment methods. The chart is based on true comparisons to other investments assuming one invests 10,000 euros for a period of 15 years and dividends are reinvested.

M/V Clio stops off in Gib

Drug arrest at the frontier

ON the same day the Spanish interim foreign secretary Margallo visited Algeciras, October 18, chief minister Fabian Picardo was in Sevilla to appear in two TV news programmes and to meet with the two main trade unions in Spain, UGT and Comisiones Obreras, both of which have concerns with regards to those who live across the border and work in Gibraltar.

AMERICAN ocean-cruising vessel M/V Clio made its inaugural call to the Port of Gibraltar on Monday October 17. Built in 1998 and originally named Le Levant, the Clio has a gross tonnage of 3,504 tonnes, a length of approximately 100 metres, carries 89 passengers and a crew of 60, the ship was acquired by the US cruise company Grand Circle Cruise Line.

OFFICERS of HM Customs Enforcement have arrested a local 35-year-old man at the land frontier when he was found to be in possession of four grams of cannabis and small amounts of cocaine and ecstasy. The offender was stopped in the early hours of Saturday October 15 as he arrived from Spain on foot.

Margallo pays a visit to Algeciras By John Smith THE Spanish interim foreign minister Jose Margallo visited Algeciras on Tuesday October 18, ostensibly to discuss matters of financial interest to the various Spanish communities in the Campo de G i b r a l t a r, b u t i n r e a l i t y i t w a s a good excuse to promote his view for Gibraltar following the British exit from the European Union. He explained that he was actually a charming man but did tend to be upset when his reasonable appeal to the people of Gibraltar was rejected so strongly especially as what he was suggesting would make life so much better for those on both sides of the border. Interim Foreign Secretary Margallo.

Reducing the population THE Macaque Management Team, run by the Department of the Environment and Climate Change has introduced surgical contraception by way of laparoscopy, veterinarian Mark Pizarro has so far treated 15 female macaques from most of the groups found on the Rock. They always select females who have already had one or more youngsters in past years, so that they are not denied the opportunity of becoming mothers, which is important in macaque society. The numbers of females sterilised in this way is also limited, so that there will always be some females within every group which will bear young. This method will have the long term effect of stopping population growth, while not threatening the Gibraltar macaque population.

M r M a rg a l l o i n s i s t e d t h a t h i s proposal for joint sovereignty between Britain and Spain would ensure that Gibraltar would continue to have access to the single market and that Gibraltar could continue to govern itself in all matters except defence, foreign policy, the frontier and immigration, which would be shared equally between Britain and Spain. C o n v e r s e l y, i t w a s a l s o m a d e clear that if Gibraltar ignored his offer, then in the event that Britain leaves the EU, free movement across the border would automatically cease and that he personally would ensure that Spanish government policy would always favour the Spanish claim for the Rock.

Gibraltar in Scotland IN something of a first, following the heavy Scottish vote in favour of remaining within the European Union, the Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Joseph Garcia, attended the recent Scottish National Party conference held in Glasgow. There he met a number of members of the Scottish parliament as well as Nicola Sturgeon, the first minister. In a speech at a reception he hosted, Dr Garcia declared that it should be possible for different parts of the British family of nations to enjoy varying degrees of participation with the European Union in the future.

He explained that the participation which Scotland enjoys with the EU is different to Gibraltarâ€™s, which in turn is different to the Channel Islands, the Falklands or Bermuda. The event at the conference was a first for Gibraltar, it was very well attended and included several members of the Scottish Government including Cabinet Secretary for Eternal Relations Fiona Hyslop MSP, Members of Photo Credit: HM Government of Gibraltar the Scottish Parliament, and Westminster MPs. Dr Joseph Garcia and Nicola Sturgeon.

A doctor says to his patient “I have bad news and worse news.” “Oh dear, what’s the bad news?” “You only have 24 hours to live.” “That’s terrible,” said the patient. “How can the news possibly be worse?” The doctor replies: “I’ve been trying to contact you since yesterday.”

The purpose of the Hexagram puzzle is to place the 19 six-letter words into the 19 cells. The letters at the edges of interlocking cells MUST BE THE SAME. The letters in the words must be written CLOCKWISE. The word in cell 10 (CATKIN) and one letter in four other cells are given as clues.

YOUR STARS SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22) Someone with a larger-than-life imagination makes you smile but that was not their intention. Try to be diplomatic and steer them in a different direction. Some feelings of loneliness will not be assuaged by working more. Perhaps it is time to consider taking on a pet or giving a current pet more attention. SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21) Sometimes, you find it hard to do things just for the pure enjoyment of it. Realise that not everything has to have a purpose or a profit. Look round this week and seek out something that will please your senses and bring a smile to your lips. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20) Contact with a less than ideal situation makes you realise just how lucky you are. It has been clear that the weeks are changeable and your situation at the moment far from settled. Pity those whose day-to-day life is completely predictable. AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19) This being a family oriented month, much of it may be spent getting together with relatives and going over old times. Perhaps you are compiling a photo album for older members of the family or vice versa.

LIBRA

(September 24 - October 23)

Career and home are in disharmony but a bit of compromise soon sorts things out. You don’t like playing the ‘bad guy’, but honesty is also important to you. Speaking your mind can be liberating although, initially, you may see it as a nuisance and embarrassing. PISCES (February 20 - March 20) An exciting invitation may set tongues wagging and make a loved one jealous. You, meanwhile, are quite bemused by the whole thing. What comes out of this week is that you are of considerable value to others. The mere thought of you not being around sends ripples through your social circle. ARIES (March 21 - April 20) Being asked to take on a new and demanding task this week may see you wishing that you had been less visible. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21) An interest in technology is not something new to you. What is great, though, is that the penny has suddenly dropped. This week sees you understanding more and wanting to know more. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21) An urge to get moving must mean that the new year is round the corner. Certainly, you are questioning where you want to be in the months ahead. A house move or work placement may be on your mind.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23) Be aware that not everyone is willing to work as hard as you. When approached by someone wanting you to trust them, be sure of their motives. Do what you feel is right but remain firmly in control, especially financially. It may not be the time to make a particular move, although others think that it is. There's no problem with discussing things and talking them through.. LEO (July 24 - August 23) Social demands are made, but try to shuffle them to the weekend. Be diplomatic or someone close could become irritated. Keep an eye on the small print because something fundamental may have changed in a long-standing arrangement. Suddenly, at the weekend, you are thrust into the limelight. VIRGO (August 24 - September 23) Be aware that leopards do not change their spots, they merely hide them. Those who demand your trust need a cool checking out and don't be afraid to say 'no' as and when necessary.

Enough to send chills up anyone’s spine this baddie attacked his victims in their dreams. 9 Kevin Spacey expertly portrayed the twisted serial killer John Doe in the 1995 hit film Seven. As the tale unfolds Doe executes his plan to kill seven people according to the Bible’s seven deadly sins leading cops trying to anticipate his next move and leaving viewers absolutely horrified. 10 It may be old but the horror film Psycho’s iconic murder scene and screeching soundtrack still lingers on in many minds when thinking of the infamous baddie Norman Bates, played in the film by Anthony Perkins. It’s a hide behind the cushion moment when motel owner Bates (acting as ‘mother ’) pulls back that curtain and stabs Marion to death in the shower.

4 The late Alan Rickman’s excellent portrayal of the internationally feared German terrorist Hans Gruber had Die Hard fans gripped as he and his henchmen stormed the Nakatomi Plaza on Christmas Eve in an attempt to steal $640 million in negotiable bearer bank bonds. He was no match though for the seemingly immortal hero cop John McClane (played by Bruce Willis) who saved the day and sent Gruber plummeting to his death.

App of the Week

ELEANOR FLOOD knows she’s a mess. But today will be different. Today she will shower and put on real clothes. She will attend her yoga class after dropping her son, Timby, off at school. She’ll see an old friend for lunch. She won’t swear. She will initiate sex with her husband, Joe. But before she can put her modest plan into action - life happens. For today is the day Timby has decided to pretend to be ill to weasel his way into his mother ’s company. It’s also the day surgeon Joe has chosen to tell his receptionist - but not Eleanor - that he’s on holiday. And just when it seems that things can’t go more awry, a former colleague produces a relic from the past - a graphic memoir with pages telling of family secrets long buried and a sister to whom Eleanor never speaks. A hilarious and lifeaffirming story about a woman who wakes up determined to be her best self.

3 Darth Vader’s infamy is probably down to his downright meanness - he ruthlessly hunts down the Jedi - and also, that voice. James Earl Jones provided the basso profundo for the first three films delivering the line that revealed one of the greatest ever plot twists “No, I am your father!”

1 For many cinema-goers Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the psychotic Joker in The Dark Knight is the silver screen’s baddest bad guy. So scary that even his co-star Michael Caine said he was afraid, you have to give the Australia-born actor a lot of credit especially trying to make the role his own and follow on from Jack Nicholson in the 1989 movie, Batman. 2 The moment when Anthony Hopkins reveals to Jodie Foster in Silence of the Lambs that he is partial to fava beans, chianti and an altogether different organ, he is stamped forever in cinema’s pantheon of all-time baddies.

One in four will suffer from a mental disorder By Gemma Elvins-Quinn ANXIETY is one of the most common mental disorders and one in four Spaniards will suffer a mental disorder at some point. Despite this high number, Spain invests in mental health €5.5 per €100 of total health expenditure, to mental illness, lower than the EU average of €7. This results in a lack of resources and affects people with mental disorder. Head of Psychiatry at the Gregorio Maranon Hospital in Madrid, Ceslo Arango, said much of the population will suffer from a minor mental disorder such as anxiety, but there are many cases which are much more serious such as schizophrenia, bipolar or autism spectrum disorder, among others, and have a greater impact on those affected. Arango, mourns the investment in mental health saying there should be more. He said there are many ar-

eas that are not being covered by low investment, such as the lack of preventive measures, shortage of resources for early intervention appropriate to the patient’s age, development assistance to children and adolescents or the lack of intermediate resources, such as hospitals and day centres for these people. He also wants to see more support in the work place: “With support and supervision those with mental disorders could have access to a protected employment. The percentage of people with severe mental disorders working in Spain is much lower than in other countries and that makes them have a very low self-esteem.” The President of the National Confederation of Mental Health, Nel A. Gonzalez, believes the lack of resources “is very noticeable” and notes because of the “meagre investment” waiting lists for patients are “extraordinarily long.”

What is in your beauty products? EVERY day billions of women, and now a few men, apply make-up and other products to their face and hair in order to look a little better, or ironically more ‘natural.’ But are these products doing more harm than good? Take keratin for instance. This hair product is said to offer silky, smooth

locks but also contains formaldehyde, a dangerous toxin. Eyelash serums can permanently darken your irises, nail salons are full of fumes, and we all know the dangers of sunbeds. So what’s the solution? For starters try your best to seek natural

solutions to your beauty concerns. The Egyptians and Romans were known for their beauty regimes and yet had no access to the formulas we routinely sprinkle over our skin today. Basic gifts from the universe, like oils and herbs, seawater, salt and minerals

Does drinking coffee really trigger your migraines? By Estelle Mitchell www.thebodyworksclinic.com LIVING in the south of Spain a day typically starts with a café con leche and tostada. But for many migraine sufferers that can feel like a big no no. But to avoid a migraine do you really need to avoid coffee? With only two proven triggers let’s separate myth from scientific fact. Professor of Neuroscience, Peter Goadsby from the NIHRWellcome Trust King’s Clinic Research Facility, London says that only these foods are proven to trigger a migraine: 1. Alcohol. 2. Nitrates (often found in

ROUTINE IS IMPORTANT: Including getting enough sleep. cured meats). That’s it, just two. So coffee doesn’t cause my migraine? Probably not, but withdrawal might. If you have a coffee every morning before you go to work, say at 8.00am, then at the weekend you don’t get up until 12.00pm, that delay might trigger a migraine. Routine is everything: 1. Staying hydrated.

2. Maintaining a stable blood sugar level. 3. Getting enough sleep. These are the things most likely to prevent your migraine. When we get stressed or upset, these are often the first things to go and we add in alcohol as well for an extra knock to our system. This also explains why people get migraines on holiday!

‘But I’m more relaxed!’ Yes but you are also out of your routine, eating differently, somewhere warmer so you’re not as hydrated, staying up late... these can all be triggers. Maybe it’s your aura. An aura is what we call all those signals that let you know a migraine is coming, the double vision, the sensitivity to light, the nausea... and they can also include food cravings. Some of the foods that you consider ‘triggers’ might actually be cravings as part of your aura, so your migraine is already on the way. What to do: • Keep a diary of symptoms and attacks to help find the pattern. • Follow the three steps above and stick to your routine. If you feel a migraine coming on, a single treatment of Magnetic Therapy can reduce

the severity and even prevent the attack.

Ask The Doctor

Brought to you by

Legionnaires’ disease

SPECIALIST: Doctor Luis Perez Belmonte. LEGIONNAIRES’ disease is a bacterial infection characterised by an acute and potentially life threatening pneumonia. The majority of infections are reported as single (isolated) cases but outbreaks do sometimes occur. The disease gets its name from members of the American Legion who, whilst attending a convention at a hotel in Philadelphia in 1976, suffered an outbreak of the disease. The bacterium causing the illness was identified from the lungs of the people who had died and named Legionella pneumophila. However, while the bacterium was only named in 1976, cases have been subsequently identified as far back as 1947 and some probably also occurred before then. What are the symptoms? Symptoms can include chest pain, a dry cough that doesn’t produce much mucus but may produce blood, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain, fever, shaking and chills, headache, joint pain, weakness, stiffness, muscle pain, balance issues, difficulty breathing and general malaise. How is it spread? The bacteria that cause Legionnaires’ disease have been found in water supply systems and can survive in warm, moist, air-conditioning systems used in large buildings, including hospitals. Who is most at risk? The chief risk factors are:

alcoholism, smoking, afflictions such as kidney failure, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, prolonged use of a respirator, medications that suppress the immune system such as chemotherapy or steroids, and age. How is it treated? Antibiotics are used to fight the infection, and treatment is started as soon as the disease is suspected without waiting for confirmation via a laboratory test. Additional oxygen and IVs are sometimes necessary. How can it be prevented? By avoiding exposure to the main sources of infection, and if an infection is suspected get to a specialist as soon as possible.

Spain’s ‘cheap’ GPs heading for the UK By Gemma Elvins-Quinn SPANISH doctors are headed to the UK to fill surgery shortages. Britain’s largest general practice recruitment firm plans to hire 1,000 doctors over the next four years from across Europe, mainly Romania, Hungary, Portugal and Spain, to ease the shortage of family GPs. They will be loaned out to understaffed surgeries on longterm contracts and will cost far less than UK-trained GPs. The NHS also announced it is launching a pilot scheme which will bring doctors from Poland, Romania, Spain and Italy to fill practices in Lincolnshire. Up to 25 GPs will arrive within the next six months and if the strategy is successful, neighbouring areas will adopt

Games give brain a boost NEXT time you tell the kids off for playing too many video games, just think twice as playing could actually boost brainpower. Researchers have found that spending time in these virtual worlds can actually enhance your perception and attention skills, with people who play between one and five hours a week being able to process visual information 5 per cent more accurately than those who don’t play at all. The findings, from a study at Nottingham Trent University, suggest those who play video games are faster and more efficient at processing rapidly-presented stimuli. The news comes after years of video games receiving bad press with studies finding they led to obesity and other health risks, but now, a team of psychologists say they have found some ‘positive aspects.’

the same scheme. It comes as more GPs are retiring early in their 50s and not being replaced by younger trainees. Despite the need for more doctors, the idea has raised safety concerns as the General Medical Council (GMC) cannot check basic competency of doctors from the EU as this would impede their ‘freedom of movement’ rights. The watchdog can test their English language skills and all European doctors will have six months of training to improve their English and knowledge of the NHS. Ministers have promised to train more UK-born doctors, but they will not start coming through for another 10 years and the shortfall is needed to be filled now.

A Surgeon’s Opinion

Knee pain: what are my options? WITH knee pain there are several options depending on how long you have had the pain, how old you are and how bad the pain is. 1. Inflammation: the first step is to reduce the joint inflammation and immediate pain. A single corticosteroid injection can help to manage symptoms but this is a single, short-term option not a long term solution. 2. Hyaluronate injection: if you respond well to a corticosteroid this may be a good option for pain relief for six to 12 months to give time to pursue non-surgical options or choose the best date for surgery. 3. Arthroscopic Debridement: (also called an arthroscopy or washing out) is good for patients with minor changes to the bone or meniscus. 4. Arthroscopic Microfracture: a procedure to encourage cartilage growth within the knee, a good option for younger patients or those with a recent injury. 5. Osteotomy: if the knee joint (usually the knee cap) is misaligned. Usually for younger patients who are not suitable for

a knee replacement. 6. Demi-Arthroplasty: also referred to as unicondylar or uni-compartmental or partial knee replacement. This is where only part of the knee joint is replaced, preserving the remaining joint. A good choice for younger patients with limited damage. 7. Knee cap replacement: or patellofemoral arthroplasty. The surface under the knee cap and a small part of the thigh bone are resurfaced to encourage smoother motion. Only suitable for people with specific movement issues but successful for the right candidates. 8. Total knee replacement: a last resort if the whole knee is affected. With so many options a full and thorough initial assessment is critical. Three things that always make a difference: 1. Losing weight. 2. Increasing muscle strength around the knee 3. Using Chondroitin and Glucosamine supplements.

Truly Thai cuisine

SRI THAI 24: Their menu is filled with delicious authentic dishes. SRI THAI 24 is a delightful Thai restaurant located in the busy hub of Fuengirola’s Calle Moncayo, 35, a short walk away from the beachfront and behind the well-known Hotel El Puerto, a longtime local landmark. Sri Thai 24 is owned by chef Lyn Kanjana, who named the restaurant after her mother, Sri. The number 24 is lucky in Thai culture, and therefore the name of this charming eatery has special significance. The restaurant is a very personal endeavour and this can be sensed not only from the choice of its title, but from the incredible scents emanating from its kitchen.

Sri Thai 24 is very proud that its Thai fare is served exactly as it would be in Thailand, with all the delicious original spices and herbs, and is not tamed down to European tastes. This dedication to authenticity allows their menu to be filled with delicious dishes you thought familiar, but that surprise you with their suave subtle spicing and luscious flavours; classics are given a welcome and exciting revival. Sri Thai 24 is open Tuesday to Sunday 1pm to 4pm for lunch and 7pm until late for dinner. For bookings and take away, please call 951 438 884.

Special business outlet WITH summer over and Christmas still a little way off, the council in Fuengirola is promoting the concept of a special outlet sale so that local businesses can offer some of their old stock at special prices in order to generate

pected to take part offering up to 80 per cent discount on overstocked items and 30 per cent on seasonal items. With special deals like this, perhaps it’s a good time to buy some early Christmas gifts.

Two Fiddlers on the Roof By John Smith BELIEVE it or not, there are two fiddlers in Fuengirola, one on the roof of the Salon Varietes and one on the stage in the musical of the same name which continues its run until Sunday October 23. The multi award-winning musical is attracting visitors from along the coast with performances of the many famous songs including Sunrise, Sunset, Matchmaker, Matchmaker and If I were a Rich Man. This story about Jewish life in a village in Russia centres around Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his Jewish religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon the familyâ€™s lives. He must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters, who wish to marry for love - each oneâ€™s choice of a husband moves further away from the customs of his faith - and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village. This version of Fiddler has a

MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT: Had people joining in. AGE CONCERN ASSOCIATION put their regular coffee morning activities at the Calahonda Baptist Church to one side on Tuesday October 18 to make way for a couple of hours of musical entertainment. Amateur singers, the Costa Soul Singers and Vocal Joy, entertained everyone present with an extensive repertoire that had people joining in and even dancing in the aisles. Age Care Association was founded in 2001 and is a charitable group based in Calahonda and run entirely by volunteers working in the area between Calahonda and Benalmadena

and also inland in the Coin/Alhaurin el Grande area. Anyone wanting to donate goods can take them along to their shop in El Zoco Calahonda. The store is instrumental in raising the charity’s muchneeded funds in addition to the donations they receive from organisations and individuals. The shop prides itself on offering a wide range of items in excellent condition. These include household goods, toys, cards and a range of bedding and bric-a-brac. They say nothing is wasted and any times which are unsuitable for the shop are given to the homeless.

Even towels and bedding which might be past their ‘sell by date’ are passed onto a local dog charity to be used as bedding for the dogs. The aim of the charity is to help older British people living in the province of Malaga. They offer welfare support, information, and practical and medical support. They also stress they do not exclude other nationalities that speak English. You can get more advice at http://www.agecarecosta.org/ The group has asked EuroWeekly to stress to its readers that Age Care Association is not connected to Age Concern.

KNOWN by the nickname The Bird, saxophonist Charlie Parker is revered as one of the great jazz musicians of the 20th century. On Friday October 21 at 8pm in the Teatro Cervantes, Malaga- born saxophonist Ernesto Aurignac will be presenting the works of his hero accompanied by 20 musicians from the Provincial Symphony Orchestra. The concert which costs just €18 for entry is entitled Charlie Parker with strings and promises to be an exciting and magical journey through the works of the American legend. He will be playing a selection based on a number of previously lost scores of Parker’s work with string arrangements which Ernesto purchased from a store in Manhattan at no little expense six years ago. Not just a musician, but a teacher at the Centre for Arts and Modern Music in Malaga, Ernesto Aurignac and his collaborators and students have studied the work of Charlie Parker and believe that Friday night’s concert will be one of those that audiences and artists alike will remember as being very, very special.

OPINION & COMMENT

OUR VIEW DESTINY: We alone are responsible.

Charity raising funds.

Colin Bird A weekly look Each week, Colin brings his slightly off-thewall view of the world to the pages of EWN in his own irreverent style.

HAND on heart, I am not the least bit superstitious. I came to the conclusion long ago that we are all responsible for our own destiny. In fact I reached this decision as a teenager, on the day I deliberately avoided walking under a ladder by stepping into the road, and thereby getting myself knocked down by a moped. I wasn’t long in A&E, just a few minor cuts and abrasions, but it was enough time for me to evaluate the whole question of superstition. I actually broke a large mirror the day before I married my first wife. Accord-

ing to folk lore that would have condemned me to seven years of bad luck, but my new bride disproved that by getting shot of me after only 18 months and taking our pet love birds with her. God how I missed them. I used to carry a rabbit’s foot around with me for luck when I was a little lad, but my mum gave me a pasting for creating an almighty pong in my grey flannel school trousers and wouldn’t believe that a rabbit had anything to do with it. So that wasn’t so lucky either. Once I threw salt over my shoulder when I accidentally knocked over the salt cellar in a fancy restaurant in London’s West End. Superstition has it that this is supposed to blind the Devil standing behind you, but it wasn’t the Devil behind me on that particular

Borders not respected

occasion, just a waiter, built like Mongolia and somewhat annoyed that I had got him square in the eye. But luck was with me that time as I managed to talk my way out of another visit to A&E. Back in the 60’s when I was a ‘Mod’ - yes I know, I don’t look that old - I owned a sporty Vespa SS. It was the crème de la crème of scooters, complete with tank aerial; fur seat cover; copper dipped engine panels, and a lighting bar at the front sporting a huge array of Christmas-like illuminations. All of which was lost on the policeman who nicked me one night for no rear light. All this has led me to believe that I am simply one of life’s unfortunates, who at times finds himself drifting down William Pitt Creek without a paddle.

Nanotechnology is real thing John Smith Random thoughts... FIFTY years ago in 1966, a film called Fantastic Voyage was released which told the story of a group of doctors and surgeons who were shrunk to minute size and their submarine was injected into the blood stream of a dying politician. The story follows their attempts t o j o u r n e y t h r o u g h t h e m a n ’s body, operate on him internally and then exit his body before the submarine with them in returned to actual size with the resulting ‘big bang.’ Needless to say, despite many trials, tribulations and near misses, they were successful and the politician lived to make the world a better place. In the following decades both films and books have explored the sophisticated possibility of what has become known as Nanotechnology which sees the production of often self-replicating machines that can be used for good such as

Now, three scientists have been awarded a shared Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their research and development of nanomachines so tiny that they are smaller than the width of a single human hair and as this technique is developed, so these machines could be inserted

into the human body to destroy cancerous cells. The three scientists, Jean-Pierre Sauvage from France, Sir Fraser Stoddart from Scotland and Bernard Feringa from the Netherlands will share the prize of eight million Swedish kronor (€828,000) for the achievements that they have made.

THE work Lorraine Palmer does together with volunteers from the La Cala de Mijas area is fantastic as she raises money in order to help women and men to have breast and prostate tests that give quick results, which is as important as receiving good or bad news. The two charities, Positively Pink and Positively Blue obtain very good rates but every check does require paying for and this really quite tiny charity undoubtedly ‘punches above its weight’ and is helping around 1,000 people every year to either find in the majority of cases that they are well but in a few cases that they are suffering from cancer. The sooner one discovers the disease, the more chance there is of fighting it and sadly it won’t just go away, despite medical investigation and research performing wonders. Despite all of the great work these charities undertake, it does seem that the same group of supporters are involved every year and most of them are based in La Cala or the immediate vicinity but to travel from say Marbella to La Cala takes such a short amount of time it’s a wonder that people and companies from a wider area don’t get involved. Cancer doesn’t respect borders or geographical areas and as Euro Weekly News, a longtime supporter, is read across so much of Spain, it would be fantastic if those who are in the Costa del Sol look to add their support to the charities and those further afield consider if there is anything they can do to promote local organisations offering a similar service or if they don’t exist, perhaps asking advice on how to set up a similar charity that could bring real good to the community.

important one, the actual uses are many and thanks to these three scientists it will become possible to produce a whole range of important machines capable of acting as muscles in the human body, of creating whole areas of new ‘smart’ technology of which we have only dreamed until now and even making tiny thinking machines which can go on to develop new technologies for mankind. All of this is absolutely brilliant and one can have nothing but praise for these three geniuses but when we haven’t managed to cure cancer, still see thousands dying from malnutrition and unsanitary conditions as well as bombs and deliberate shooting, it makes one wonder whether science needs to take a step backwards and try to fix what so is obviously broken rather than develop a whole new set of potential problems. It is unrealistic to think like that as science and scientists are alNow we ways going to want to break down want to barriers and create new inventions, hear your views. however, sometimes one hankers for a less developed and more YOUR PAPER - YOUR VOICE even-handed world, even though - YOUR OPINION that is too much to realistically exwww.euroweeklynews.com pect.

AN animal rights activist has started a petition in a bid to persuade the Spanish authorities to halt Denia’s ‘Bous a la Mar’ festival in which a bull is run into the sea. Zoe Gumm believes the practice, where the bull is taunted into chasing spectators before running into the sea, is cruel and should be stopped. “No animal deserves to be mistreated in the name of tradition, it begins with the bulls running down the main street but this isn’t normal behaviour and it’s only through fear that they run. “In previous years bulls have suffered broken bones, heart attacks and even drowned. They get kicked, pulled down in the water, and then dragged out with a rope. It’s not acceptable in this day and age.” Ms Gumm is hoping the Spanish Civic Authorities will agree to an animal-friendly and childfriendly alternative and believes her option for the traditional event would benefit and not deprive the town of tourist income.

Plea to halt bull in water run

PETITION FOR CHANGE: To put an end to all spectacles that include animal cruelty for entertainment. “I think Denia will benefit greatly. There is a huge wave of animal awareness taking place at the moment. More people are protesting against events that use animals.”

Her version, which takes place in Santillana del Mar in Cantabria, involves men in outsized inflatable bull suits running along the streets as children and parents run away.

Trust in times of need

Ms Gumm cites Valencia’s recent ban on setting light to the horns of bulls and a cut in the province’s funding for bull runs and bullfighting schools, as evidence of a general shift away

from such events. She is hoping to meet the t o w n ’s m a y o r i n a b i d t o p e rsuade the civic authorities to halt the traditional July festival. Her petition can be found at https://www.change.org/p/re place-the-bulls-with-people-infun-inflatable-costumes.

ENGLISH FUNERAL DIRECTORS: Offering a caring and professional service. WHEN you have lost a loved one the last thing you need is to deal with the complex red tape of another country in a foreign language. That’s why John and Sally established the English Funeral Directors on the Costa del Sol, to ensure that, at this time, you can speak with someone who properly understands what you are going through, and who can take care of all the important administration on your behalf. Having an English Funeral Directors here in Spain allows a funeral following your traditions, so it doesn’t have to be the next day, as is Spanish custom, you then have time to invite all the dearly departed’s

family and friends from abroad. It also means you can be assured of an English minister and even repatriation to the UK, organised by John and Sally. They have been working in Spain with the expatriate community for 11 years. The professionalism of their service allows them to pass on savings to their clients, meaning they can offer a flexible price structure with no hidden extras, you can even pay in sterling. If you are in need of a funeral director, be sure to call John or Sally for a caring and personal service you can rely on. You can reach them on 699 664 660 or email john@englishfuneraldirectors.com.

BARE NECESSITIES: School budget does not cover loo rolls.

A SCHOOL near Toledo, central Spain, has told parents to provide their children with toilet roll. The primary school doesn’t have the ‘budget to cover such resources,’ and has asked parents to supply each child with six rolls

apiece, it is unclear whether bureaucrats have calculated how long they should last. “What next? Will we be asked to provide chalk? A bottle of fuel? I’m very angry,” Wrote one steaming parent on Facebook. Parents already have to

pay for textbooks and food and opposition politicians have latched onto the issue pointing out that local officials have had a generous pay rise while working families are asked to scrounge around the back of their sofas for a few extra euros.

GARDENS

Permaculture garden techniques By Graeme Tyrrell DIVERSITY in ways to undertake gardening is constantly evolving. Permaculture garden-

ing philosophy has been increasingly popular in recent years. Permaculture expands from organic gardening into a more ethical set of principles to

design gardens in a sustainable and resource aware way. The main principle is to become more aware of how nature works in the area that you are rather than how to put what you want where you are and have to fight nature to do it. The outcome is gardening in harmony with nature. Permaculture is of international interest with the techniques being adopted in remote areas of Afganistan to the capital cities of Europe. The original concept evolved from two Australians, Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in pursuit of developing a system that provides a self perpetuating ecology of plants and animals for the benefit of mankind. It has evolved further to become a vision for a sustainable future in agriculture and horticulture. Recycling systems based on good scientific methods of water catchment and distribution, plant material being returned to the soil through composting

IN ACTION: Creating a self-sustaining ecosystem. and mulching to enhance growth and soil preparation minimised in a way to evolve the soil ecology to reduce the need to cultivate, are an integral part of permaculture design. Permaculture design seeks to create a self-sustaining ecosystem with minimal import and export of materials to produce a productive garden. Many people are developing food forests of trees that produce edible fruits and nuts combined with native flora and fauna coexisting to benefit each

other. Permaculturalists are transforming patios and balconies with vertical gardens to make full use of their confined spaces to be a productive food supply to the kitchen. In this way more quality fresh food is being produced almost any where there is some space. The first step to having a permaculture garden is to get to know your site. Next find out what plants can be grown and what requirements they have. Thirdly plan out your garden

with consideration of where water can be obtained and applied in the most sustainable way. After that prioritise planting for ease of access to plants needing the most care and access for frequent harvest such as kitchen herbs. Then its a matter of setting out the garden design to optimise the requirements of each plant to maximise growth and minimise maintenance. It can be complex but well worth the effort to have a garden design that works for you.

Natural mosquito repellent plants THERE are various plants which you may have seen in gardens but not realised are

great for helping deter mosquitoes naturally. While citronella is a com-

mon ingredient in many mosquito repellents, not everyone realises it is actually a plant they can grow themselves. It has a strong scent which masks other thing nearby which could attract mozzies and is easy to grow in pots or garden beds. Lemon balm is another mosquitoes are not keen on. It is hardy, resists drought, can grow in the shade and has the added bonus of making a delicious herbal tea too. However, it is aggressive and can take over the garden, so is best grown in pots to keep it under control. Marigolds have pretty flowers but also contain Pyrethrum, used as an ingredient in many mosquito repellents. Cooks will be pleased to know basil, rosemary and garlic also repel them, a great excuse to plant a supply of ingredients. Lavender can be grown indoors by a sunny window or outside and provides natural mosquito deterring properties.

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

MOST vets will caution pet owners not to exercise a dog right after feeding him. This is certainly true of strenuous exercise, which can make a dog throw up and can lead to gastric torsion. A recent study by the Divisions of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University proved that exercise after eating seems to burn up more calories by raising the body’s rate of metabolism. After eating, many dogs will lie down to digest their food. While sleeping a pet will burn up a few calories in just keeping his heart and lungs going. This sluggish behaviour can only encourage the animal to put on weight. It now makes sense to take your dog for a walk not more than a halfhour after his big meal of the day. This very gentle exercise will also stimulate his digestion. Then after a few hours have gone by, you can put him through a more demanding regimen of activity.

For smaller breeds, simply taking a dog outdoors to relieve himself constitutes a certain amount of exercise. Exercise assists but does not cause defecation and a dog does not need exercise to loosen his bowels unless he is ill. The cheetah is the fastest land animal known and has been clocked in short bursts up to 60 miles an hour. Dogs in the wild do a lot of running but mostly when they are hunting or chasing prey. Taking a dog on a daily run is not necessarily in its best interest. Dogs should never be run on hard surfaces like pavements but on earth. If you insist on having your dog jog then make certain the pace is a fast walk or trot rather than a run, and this should never be allowed in hot weather. Always check the dog’s feet after a run for cuts and rawness. A dog can sweat through his feet pads, anus and tongue. He does not have the heat releasing mechanisms of many other animals. Dogs are susceptible to heatstroke and other related problems. Dogs that were bred for cold climates such as Huskies or Akitas have been transplanted by people to warm climates this is not natural and one can expect behavioural and health problems. Dogs react to heat by panting or digging holes in the earth under shady trees or bushes. Locking dogs in closed cars can be fatal because a car heats and so do dogs. Exercise raises your dog’s metabolism and boosts his temperature, which in turn can turn to heatstroke. For obese dogs the problem is worse. Never exercise a dog in the heat of the day and keep his weight under control. It is also a good idea to give your dog his water dish to enable him to drink before a walk.

IT is very hard sometimes to imagine leaving a pet for a holiday or even longer if work calls us away to another country. Sometimes the pet is so close they are indeed a naturalised member of the family. So when there is a plan to emigrate and leave the country for a long time the worry about what to do with pets is ever more difficult. The question of what to do with Maisie when her family decided to follow a good work opportunity in Spain was one such decision. Maisie is six years old and has suffered a number of illnesses but she has always recovered so the family are very attached to her. She is a wellcared-for house rabbit, with a real personality, allowed to roam through a number of rooms inside and she even answers when you call her name by hopping up to you to see what you want. One major concern was would she survive such an upheaval to a different country, another climate and all the disruption of the move? When the family went on holiday they had always had Maisie cared for at home by housesitters, would they find sympathetic sitters where they were moving to in Spain? It was a concern. Fortunately they found Hous esitMatch. com and a friend who already uses the housesitting and petsitting network reassured them that yes they could find suitable petsitters, and for free, if they planned early

enough. So they decided to take Maisie on their next big adventure to Spain. We’re excited to help them and look forward to finding sitters for them very soon, perhaps for their first trip home for Christmas. Do you need a sitter? Get in touch.

My Sunday lunch Mike Senker

In my opinion Views of a Grumpy Old Man I ENJOY traditional, if you are English, Sunday lunch. Not every week but now and again. I also love a Sunday beach bar lunch. So, my beef this week (see what I did there?) is when I book for Sunday lunch whatever you do don’t tell me, when giving me a plate of meat and veg and Yorkshire pudding, that the two of the tiniest potatoes is all I’m getting because you have run out. Now I’m not talking about six in the evening, I’m talking 3 o’clock and I’ve booked. It’s just not good enough. For goodness sake, they are the cheapest thing on the plate. There is no point in offering me more meat or anything else. I want my roast tatties. I made sure they knew my feelings and I’m sure it won’t happen again. That was the second incident. The first was that I’ve gone to a very nice Spanish restaurant in La Cala - not cheap - and ordered one of my favourite

dishes, suckling pig. My apologies to any vegetarian readers. Mrs S and my daughter ordered steaks. Theirs came up first nice big, juicy ones. Then my meal arrived - a massive plate with a piece of crackling the size of a small beer mat and potato and a bit of veg. Now, for a nanosecond I thought ‘I won’t say anything’ because my daughter was with her boyfriend and it was only the third time I’d met him. But only for a nanosecond, because all of a sudden I heard myself saying ‘Excuse me, this is not going to be enough.’ I got daggers from Mrs S and Sarah just looked at me. ‘What? What? Sorry, what am I meant to do?’ Anyway as I was finishing my sample dinner the waiter arrived with another one and I have to say that impressed me. He never said anything when I complained, he just went and used his initiative and kept a customer. So well done him. And if that wasn’t result enough Sarah’s boyfriend paid the bill! Thanks for all your emails. I’m going to write about some of our shared grumps so keep them coming mikesenker@gmail.com. Husband: Waiter my wife has knocked her drink over.

OPINION & COMMENT

LEGALLY SPEAKING

Check car history AS part of the series, we answer some common driving questions and keep you updated on the latest driving and road news kindly provided by members of the Guardia Civil based in Torrevieja, Costa Blanca, who set up the N332 website and Facebook page to help break down barriers.

USED CARS: Check out the vehicle’s history before you buy. IN the UK a warning has been issued by vehicle history check experts HPI about the hidden administrative risks when buying a used car. The latest survey reveals that a staggering 42 per cent of used car buyers don’t know who legally owns a car that has finance owing on it. Nearly a quarter of those surveyed (23 per cent) assumed the car belongs to the person named on the vehicle’s log book but a vehicle with outstanding finance belongs to the finance house which has the legal right to repossess the vehicle at any time. HPI recommends you always conduct a vehicle history check before you buy. It will tell you if the car has outstanding finance on it and enables you to ensure that the finance agreement is concluded before

you complete the purchase. In Spain similar checks can, and should, be carried out and can be done so via the DGT traffic department website www.dgt.es On the front page under ‘tramites y multas’ you will see a link ‘informe del vehiculo.’ This will allow you to carry out a report on the vehicle. If you have the vehicle number plate or chassis number you can find out details such as the vehicle ownership, specifications, number of previous owners, administrative status and ITV expiration date. There is a small administrative fee for obtaining the information which can be paid for by credit or debit card, but this fee is considerably lower than the financial risk of purchasing a car that has a dubious history or has sanctions placed against it.

For more news and articles visit www.n332.es or search N332 on Facebook.

A foreign car in Spain? I WAS interested in your recent article on using a non-Spanish registered vehicle in Spain. The Local Police stopped me in my UK plated car. I said I had been driving for two months in Spain, which was true. They told me that I was only allowed one month before I need to register the car as a Spanish vehicle. They sent me to the Customs office at Malaga who told me I had to import my car and pay taxes, or return it to the UK. Your article said I am allowed 12 months on UK plates in Spain. Which is correct? W.S. (Costa del Sol) Are you a tourist or a resident? As a tourist, you have six months in a calendar year to operate a foreign-registered car in Spain.

OPINION & COMMENT

20 - 26 October 2016 / Costa del Sol

www.euroweeklynews.com

Payback time IN the 90’s, Carmen Guillen was a secretary at Caja Madrid which later begat Bankia. She worked for bank president Jaime Terceiro but when Miguel Blesa took over she was shunted from one Head Office department to another. She ended up in Operations which dealt with credit cards including the opaque ‘Tarjetas Negras’ that oozed undeclared perks for high-ranking bank officials. Accompanied by 63 others these have now landed Blesa and former Hacienda minister and Bankia president Rodrigo Rato in court. For years diligent Guillen held on to the paperwork linked to the cards and handed it over in 2014 when auditors unearthed the Black Cards. It’s not revenge, Guillen was quoted as saying, but it’s certainly a dish that she’s eating cold and it must taste delicious.

Holiday spirit ON October 12, Spain’s national holiday, a rash of graffiti and banners announced “There’s nothing to celebrate.” This anniversary celebrates Columbus’s landfall in Hispaniola, the island split between the Dominican Republic and Haiti. It heralded genocide

It suits you, sir

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

in the name of God, last week’s protesters complained, and the Spanish certainly slaughtered in a knee-jerk, gut reaction to the heathen. Nevertheless, around 90 per cent of the indigenous population who died succumbed to imported diseases like smallpox, although protesting about that is less graffiti-friendly than judging the 15th century by 21st century standards.

Never on Sunday THE King recommences talks with political parties next week which suggests an investiture bid on Saturday October 29 or Sunday 30. They ought to leave it until the Monday which appropriately enough is Halloween the right time for scaring MPs into doing their duty by Spanish voters and not themselves.

Francisco Camps.

PLAGIARISM murmurings always overshadowed the 2012 doctoral thesis of Francisco Camps, ex-president of the Valencian Community. He once stood trial for accepting kickbacks of made-to-measure suits from the corrupt Gurtel setup which made much of its money organising Partido Popular events in the region. In academic circles they ar e agai n aski ng how he m anaged t o pul l off t he feat of writing a thesis in 23 months. Ot her s poi nt out t hat the going rate for a madeto-measure doctoral thesi s wor ks out at €11 a page or approximately €3,300. Peanut s com par ed wi t h t he €30,000 Camps allegedly paid for the suits whose bills were never found.

Visiting times are from 13.00 to 15.00 and you can always turn up or make an appointment by calling Denise on 669 018 736.

Tel. 608 258 950 info@sepeonline.net www.sepeonline.net (93321) AT SOS ANIMAL REFUGE we have dogs, young and old looking for homes. Some of our dogs have been with us for some time and would love to find a cosy spot to curl up in and a knee on which to rest their heads. If you have room in your heart and home we would love to hear from you. We do not put our dogs to sleep - no matter how old, they are safe with us. For day to day needs and to pay for veterinary care, we much appreciate the support we receive. We desperately need items to sell on our market stall to help raise funds and are happy to come and collect. So if you are having a clear-out, please contact us on 605 227 155.

Take a bow worthy champions: Murray, Marquez and Noren Tony Matthews International Sports A former player and now the world’s most prolific author of football books with almost 150 published since 1975, Tony is also the sports correspondent for Spectrum Radio and lives on La Pilica in the Sierra Cabrera Mountains overlooking Turre. Costa de Almeria

ONCE again, there’s been some exciting sporting action during the last seven days in football, cricket, tennis, golf, motorsport and rugby... and there’s more to come, enough to suit everybody! FOOTBALL: • There were Premiership wins last weekend for Arsenal 3-2 v Swansea; Bournemouth 6-1 over Hull; Chelsea 3-0 against Leicester; Southampton 3-1 v Burnley; Stoke 2-0 v Sunderland; Watford 1-0 at Middlesbrough and West Ham 10 at Crystal Palace. • The Manchester CityEverton and WBA-Spurs games both ended 1-1 while Monday’s big clash between Liverpool and Manchester United finished goalless. • Everton’s goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg saved two penalties, one from City’s Sergio Aguero who’s now missed four spot-kicks this season! • The Championship’s top two - Norwich and Newcastle - both won 3-1, and Steve Bruce’s first game as Aston Villa’s manager ended in a 1-1 draw with Wolves. • Huddersfield lost 1-0 to Sheffield Wednesday before a record John Smith’s Stadium League crowd of 22,368. • Steve McClaren, back in Derby’s hot seat, saw his side beat Leeds 1-0 and Neil Warnock began his reign as Cardiff boss with a 2-1 win over Bristol City. • Scunthorpe beat MK Dons 2-1 to stay top of FL1, while FL2’s dockland derby ended Plymouth 2 Portsmouth 2; in the SPL Celtic beat Motherwell 2-0. • La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid trounced Granada 71, Barcelona (4th) beat Deportivo 4-0 and Real Madrid (2nd) crushed Real Betis 51.

• On Tuesday, it was Bayer Leverkusen-Spurs, Real Madrid-Legia Warsaw and Leicester-Copenhagen in the Champions League, followed last night by ArsenalLudo-raz, Barcelona-Manchester City, Celtic-Borussia Monchengladbach and Rostov-Atletico Madrid. Tonight it’s Manchester United-Fenerbahce, Dundalk-Zenit and Inter MilanSouthampton in the Europa League. • This weekend’s top PL game is Chelsea-Manchester United, while Rangers meet Celtic in the Scottish LC s/f.

TENNIS: • Andy Murray beat Spain’s Roberto Bautista Agut in the Shanghai Masters final. This was Murray’s 10th final of 2016 and he’s won six of them and is set to bank over £10 million this year alone! • Novak Djokovic (soon to be replaced by Murray as world number one) smashed his racquet and tore his shirt after losing to Agut in the semis. • Aussie Nick Kyrgios has been fined £13,500 for breaching the sport’s Code of Practice for abusive language and unsportsmanlike behaviour on court.

Red Rum - a ‘Grand’ National winner! by Tony Matthews BORN a bay gelding on May 3, 1965, Red Rum was a champion thoroughbred steeplechaser who achieved an unmatched historic treble when he won the Grand National on three occasions, in 1973, 1974 and 1977. He also finished second in the two intervening years, 1975 and 1976 and in between times

he also won the Scottish Grand National (1974). Jockey Brian Fletcher rode the horse in 1973 and 1974 and Tommy Stack was in the saddle in 1977. Red Rum’s brilliant 1973 comeback victory, when he was 30 lengths behind the leading group at one stage in the race, and 15 adrift of Crisp heading towards the last fence, is considered one of the greatest Grand National triumphs in the history of the great race. In winning in 1973 he broke the Aintree course record by a staggering 19 seconds, finishing the race in nine minutes, 1.9 seconds. Everyone associated with horse racing, knows that the Grand National is a notoriously

difficult race. Indeed, it has been described as “the ultimate test of a horse’s courage” but ‘Rummy’ coped with the big obstacles (and smaller ones) superbly well, better than any horse has ever done. Fact File * Bred to win one mile races on the flat, ‘Rummy’ made his debut on a racecourse at Aintree in a five furlong selling plate, dead-heating for first place. * He actually competed in 10 flat races, winning two more over seven furlongs. He was ridden twice by champion jockey Lester Piggott. * He was then switched to steeplechasing and renowned for his ability over fences, he only fell once in 100 jump races, winning 24, finishing

second on 15 occasions and claiming third place 23 times. * Red Rum’s total winnings as a steeplechaser amounted to £146,409.80. * In a 2002 UK poll, Red Rum’s historic third triumph in the Grand National of 1977 was voted the 24th greatest sporting moment of all time. * In the late 1970s, ‘Rummy’ was ‘guest of honour’ at The Hawthorns, home of West Bromwich Albion football club, when he was paraded around the pitch by his trainer (Ginger McCain) and his dedicated stable-hand, prior to a testimonial match. * In 1977, a wealthy businessman offered £1 million to buy Red Rum. His owner, Noel le Mare, said ‘No.’ That

are statues of him at Aintree racecourse and in Southport (where he was trained). * The Red Rum Handicap Chase is run at Aintree every year. * In 2008, Merseyrail has named one of its trains in Red Rum’s honour as part of a Merseyside Legends programme. * And two pubs in the Liverpool area were named Red Rum.
