COSTA BLANCA hoteliers’ associationHosbec questioned Calpe’s ‘100 per centoccupancy’ claims.

The true figure for the first fortnight ofAugust was 87.2 per cent, maintainedHosbec president Antonio Mayor, who saidthis was partly traceable to non-registeredaccommodation.

The number of owners renting propertieswithout declaring the income or undergoingany type of inspection was growing all thetime, Mayor claimed.

“If airport statistics don’t stop increasingyet the number of overnight stays are goingdown, then something doesn’t add up. Andthat something is illegal lets,” he declared.

Hosbec continued to advocate greatercontrol on the part of the Administration toeradicate this unfair competition, continuedMayor. He also called for EU legislationoffering better protection for tour operatorsand their clients.

Calpe’s Tourism councillor Jan Van Parijsagreed with Mayor on this point. “There are26 letting agencies in Calpe but at timesthey cannot compete with private landlordswho avoid taxes by offering accommodationonline,” Van Parijs said. CALPE: ‘No vacancies’ claim questioned.

BENISSA Town Hallcategorically refutedmedia reports suggestingthat the town’s oneunbuilt cliff-top was to bedeveloped.

Residents feared theworst when an outsizeblank billboard waserected amongst thepines above Cala Llobellaand prepared to do battleif necessary.

A year ago the Supremecourt invalidatedBenissa’s urban develop-ment plan (PGOU) inforce since 2003. Thisobliged the town to revertto the 1982 PGOU,reducing the area’s officialprotection by 35 per cent.

“Benissa Town Hall hasalways respected theenvironment andenforced planning regula-tions,” said an officialstatement from the townhall.

It was totally untruethat annulling the 2003PGOU would allowbuilding in the Cantalarpinewood, as this isspecifically protected byCoastal Strip regulations,the town hall continued.

Furthermore it wasprotected as a greenspace by the PGOUs ofboth 1982 and 2003.

The owner of the landwhere the billboard waserected now faces a fine.

No licence was appliedfor, the structure wasoversized and positionedtoo near the road, thetown hall revealed.

about the rights of parents.Initially there were worries for the

health of five-year-old Ashya, who isseriously ill with cancer.

In that case the authorities wereprobably right to launch a hunt totrack down the family. But oncefound and it became clear theparents were acting, in their opinion,with the best interests of Ashya atheart, was it really necessary toarrest them and whisk themhundreds of kilometres away toMadrid for an extradition hearing?

Was it necessary to admit the littleboy into hospital and then refuse himthe comfort of visits from hisobviously loving parents andsiblings?

A five-year-old-boy, seriously ill in

hospital in a strange land will be afrightened little boy, confused andwondering where his parents are.Who knows what thoughts weregoing through his head? And what aterrible ordeal for his parents to gothrough, not allowed to visit theirbeloved child in hospital, and forcedto leave their other children in thecare of their eldest son.

STAMPEDE: Five girls died in the tragedy.

Chief of Police charged in Arena case

ALTEA’S irrigation syndicateshave complained bitterly about alocal councillor’s declarations inthe Spanish provincial press.

In an article describing thestate of the rivers in drought-threatened Alicante Province,

Altea’s Environment councillorMiguel Angel Capilla said theRiver Algar is one of thehealthiest in the province.

So far, so good. Unfortunately,Capilla was then quoted assaying that local growers and

landowners on the right-handside of the river irrigated‘indiscriminately’.

This statement was notappreciated by the syndicates’500 members who immediatelyprotested to the town hall.

Capilla explained that he toldhis interviewer that they irrigated‘whenever they wanted orneeded to’. He had gone on tosay that if they could irrigate atwill this was thanks to a drip-system installed 10 years ago.

With a 60,000-cubic-metre pooland a network of irrigation tubescosting €4 million, this eliminatedthe need for extravagant ‘blanketirrigation’. It also saves a daily14,000 cubic metres of water,Capilla stressed.

Spain claims €1bnGibraltar tax

THE Spanish Secretary of State for theEuropean Union, Iñigo Méndez de Vigo,has claimed that the Spanish governmentmisses out on close to €1 billion of taxrevenues each year due to ‘tax fraud’ inGibraltar.

The minister made the claim during awide ranging interview in Spanish dailyABC, within which he made allegations oftobacco smuggling and money launderingagainst the Rock authorities.

The minister said, “At the beginning ofthe parliamentary term, the Governmentreported allegations of tobacco smugglingand money laundering which take place inGibraltar, to the European Anti-FraudOffice (OLAF). The findings of their reportare a boost to our allegations because itsees grounds for believing that the

financial interests of the EU are affected bysuch crimes. It is clear that huge quantitiesof tobacco imported by Gibraltar areintroduced illegally into Spain.”

On the cost to the Spanish public purse,he said, “The Ministry for Public Financescalculates that the current tax regime inGibraltar generates losses to the Spanishtreasury of close to €1 billion annually, inthe form of lower returns on differenttypes of taxation.”

He called on the European Commission(EC) to investigate the British OverseasTerritory’s tax policies for possible illegalstate aid.

Gibraltar authorities released astatement, hitting back at the Spanishclaims, describing them as “a financialflight of fancy.”

CASTILLA-LA MANCHA isyet again on course toproduce too much wine.

Once this year’s grapeharvest has been pro-cessed there will beinsufficient room in somedistricts to store the winefollowing 2013’s record 53-million hectolitre produc-tion.

Castilla-La Mancha’swine-makers have historic-ally prized volume overquality and shunned thelower yields preferred bymany other regions. As aresult, some bodegascannot find buyers for theirentire production.

There has been lessdemand from Spain’scatering industry althoughfamily consumption hasrisen slightly. Prompted by

low bulk prices averaging€0.41 a litre, exportsincreased to 22 millionhectolitres last year withmost of the wine destinedfor Italy, France, Portugaland the UK.

A further seven millioncubic hectometres wasused for grape juice butneither the domestic norforeign markets have beenable to absorb Castilla-LaMancha’s 2013 production.

The situation can still beremedied, believes Rafaeldel Rey who heads SpanishWine Markets Observatory.

If the grapes grown inCastilla-La Manca werepaid according to calibre,this would discourage over-production and encouragequality, not quantity, DelRey said.

THE financial world isforever harping on abouthow women need to besmarter when it comes tomoney.

Financial advisors andresearch papers tell us thatwe need to learn how tomanage our money betterand they say that incomparison to men welack financial confidence tomake the smartestdecisions possible whensaving or investing.

Of course understandingmoney helps women,families or business peoplework towards their goalsand secure their financialwell-being, but by beingtold you are bad at

something isn’t necessarilythe best way to encouragea woman to sharpen up onher financial literacy.

A lot of financial dialoguecan be pretentious andoverwhelming, thuscausing some women tobecome even more scaredto approach the subject ofmoney. It doesn’t have tobe this way, however!

For starters, just keep inmind these small positivesteps and you’ll be on your

way to a more confidentfinancial you.

Get started - Don’t letfinancial jargon frightenyou. Set a plan in action toaddress your moneymanagement. Budgets,saving, investing - sit downand put some ideas onpapers. Getting started isthe first step.

Avoid unsolicited advice- The advice of family andfriends is invaluable incertain instances, but that

doesn’t mean they are thebest people to approachfor financial advice. Find afinancial advisor that youfeel comfortable with or aknowledgeable friend orfamily member who cangive you unbiased advice.

Do it your way - Budgetsand financial plans are notset in stone. Each personhas different needs andtherefore designing abudget or method ofmoney management that

you are comfortable with isthe most important part ofbuilding your financialknow-how.

If you don’t ask youdon’t get - Never shy awayfrom asking your boss formore money. If you are ahard worker and trulybelieve you deserve a raisethen there is no harm inasking.

Breathe - Managing yourmoney, properly, for thefirst time can be tricky sodon’t panic if you makesome mistakes. Giving upis not going to help, so justask for some help to seehow to face the issues youare facing.

Believe in yourself - Ifyou enter any challengelacking confidence inyourself it is going to taketwice as long to overcomeany obstacles you mayface. Confront moneymanagement with a broadsmile on your face andbelieve you have the capa-bility to get money smart.

Q. A year after we completed on ourhome purchase in Spain, we still have noStatement of Account, invoice or surplusfunds returned to us by our solicitor.

I have emailed him several times aweek for six months but he responds to

about every 10th one. When he does reply, he promises that it will all be dealtwith by ‘next Monday,’ but the Mondays keep coming and going, with noresolution. On one occasion, he got us to drive all the way to his office.

All he had was an envelope with some scribbled figures. He had no ideawhat was going on and I had to list out the transfers for him. Basically, I needto find a way to get this guy toconclude our dealings in a satisfactorymanner and to return surplus monies.So, how can I do this?

P.B. (e-mail)

You and theLaw in SpainBy David Searl

What if their lawyer is a lemon?

If your Spanish lawyer really turns out tobe a ‘lemon,’ you have two optionsavailable. You can go directly to the‘Colegio de Abogados,’ which is theSpanish version of the Law Society, withyour complaint.

Or you can instruct another solicitor. Irecommend this second option. Do notbe concerned that one lawyer will not goagainst another. First you need a newlawyer in any case. Second, you are farmore likely to retrieve your papers andany money owed to you quickly.

BUSINESS EXTRA Time to make a financial plan

BELIEVE YOURSELF: Confront money management with a smile.

BUSINESS owners pay much attention tothe running of their business. The poorrelation on the ‘Must Do’ tick box is oftencustomer care. I was reminded of thiswhen my wife and I were met by ice coldofficiousness from a booking clerk as weexplained our needs.

She had her inner demons. We were, Isuppose, in her cross-hairs that day. Thestaff member’s offhand attitude spoiled forus, and no doubt others, what is known asthe customer experience.

Of the many business maxims collectedone of my favourites is: “If we get it righttell the world. If we get it wrong tell us.”

Good business advice but it can be atough call. It is often easier to avoidunpleasantness and take your businesselsewhere. However, it costs seven timesas much to attract a new client as to keepan existing one.

As a business owner it pays to strike upa good relationship with customers. Itpays extra dividends if you encouragethem to help your business by remarkingcandidly on their customer experience andthen putting flaws right.

Here are a few facts that focus on theimportance of treating the boss (thecustomer) with friendliness and civility.

According to 1st Financial TrainingServices 96 per cent of customers don’tcomplain when disappointed by poorservice; 91 per cent simply never return.

A dissatisfied customer will tell nine to20 people of their bad experience. Happyclients, according to the White HouseOffice of Consumer Affairs, will expresstheir satisfaction to just four to six people.

Marketing sources agree that 70 percent of buying experiences are based onthe customer’s perception of how theywere treated. Believe it or not price issecondary.

Customers who rate your business fiveon a nought to five scale are six timesmore likely to return than a customer whomarks you four to five. If your business isquiet whilst rivals are busier, then lack ofcustomer care could be the reason.

Keep guns off the streetsof Britain…I HAD seen this coming, as wecan always count on Leapy Lee torant on about dramatic eventswithout ever offering any solutionthat could work.

This time he has excelledhimself. Hasn’t he seen thefootage of the armed policepresence in Ferguson, Missouri?Is that what he wants Britain tobe like? A country with armedpolice or soldiers on every corneris not a free country, and Ithought naively that a freecountry is what Leapy wants.

Nobody should ignorethe threat from Islamic extremistsbut dealing with them is the job ofour intelligence services, andpreventing radicalisation iseveryone’s job.

Stop demonising Muslims, getthem involved in all levels ofsociety. Leapy’s recipe wouldcertainly increase the number ofMuslims who despair of beingtruly accepted in Britain.

It’s fortunate that his recipe hasabsolutely no chance of beingadopted by the government, buthis loose talk has quite enoughbad effects.

Please Leapy, we love youreally, but don’t rant, don’tgeneralise, just think!

Bill Campbell,Mojacar Playa (Almeria)

Editor’s note: Leapy calledfor a special armed force of100,000 to be formed topatrol UK streets to combatIslamic extremists.

Work providerI WAS glad to see that the EuroWeekly News has the insight tobe able to solve the recession.

Your article on ‘Dreambeach’made me laugh. Just one look atthe picture on the front cover ofyour last edition makes me wantto vomit. Do you really think thatorganising events such as thesehelp the local community andeconomy?

You mentioned jobs for localpeople. What type of jobs? Whattype of contracts?

These young party animalsabound in the Mojacar area. Butthe sad truth is that I don’t see

them contribute to the localeconomy. Yes, they do create jobsas someone needs to clean upafter them. Someone needs torepair the trail of damage theyleave in their wake.

Extra police are called in tokeep order when they are at play.These are jobs, yes, but they arepaid for from our pockets in theform of tax.

Personally, I would prefer topay that tax just to keep themaway.

Sean O’Connell (by email)

Share the dream REGARDING your headline articlein the Costa de Almeria edition,‘Dreambeach brings in €7 million,’it would be very good if some ofthis was given back to thevillage.

It was not easy for us residentsto have more than 80,000 peoplein our village and a thank youwould be great. Perhaps a gardenwhere we could sit in the shade?Keep fit equipment, a petancacourt, or even just the clean-up

the village could do with?I love living here in Villaricos

but it could be made so muchbetter. Come on: spend some ofthis money on our village.

Vicious circleTHE Endesa website will not letme register for their OnlineOffice.

I emailed them for assistanceas indicated on the website. Theyreplied that I need to register onthe website for Online Officebefore they can answer my

question. I email them back torepeat my question. I get aresponse that they do not answeremails and I need to register onthe website for Online Office!

Is there any way of gettingsome human intervention andassistance from Endesa?

Flour remedyA FEW days ago I reached out formy hot iron without looking,missed the handle and grabbedthe base. The pain was immense.I rushed to the pantry and thrustmy hand into a bag of flour,squeezing my burnt fingers asadvised in your newspaper.

After a few moments all wastenderness and, as your corres-pondent stated, no blisters, nored marks, no pain!

As to the subsequent letter onthe same subject warning of thedangers of this action, maybe itdepends on the seriousness ofthe burn.

Olivia Qualtrough,Nova Sta Ponsa (Mallorca)

Language hurdleI BOUGHT a washing machine inSeptember 2011 for €229 andpaid on the advice of the saleslady a further €40 to extend thewarranty to 2014.

The machine failed totally inJuly 2014 and I requested a fullrefund but was told to contact thestore’s insurance company.

The assistance I received wastotally unhelpful and a telephonenumber I was given has beenuseless as I am always informedthat no English-speaking personwas available.

At least six emails have been tono avail and the store itself iscompletely unhelpful.

I would be very grateful, ifthrough your paper you couldmake your readers aware thatcustomer service often falls veryshort of what most customerswould expect.

Roy Phillips,Torrevieja (Alicante)

Refuse problemYOUR photo of rubbish at CaboRoig is only the tip of the iceberg.

To cross from one side of thestrip to the other necessitateseither wading through rubbish inthe underpass or trying toavoid bottles, litter and worse onthe foot bridge.

Add to this overflowing binsand dangerous footpaths and onecan only assume people visit herefor the cheap booze. Roll onwinter!

M.Turner (by email)

The real thingI MUST respond to FloraSimmons’ letter ‘No Bargain’which appeared in response tomy letter in the previous edition.

My comments regarding peoplebuying fake polo shirts from theLooky-Looky men was writtenfrom their point of view i.e. theshirts are perfect to them ataround €15, rather than anextortionate €85.

As for my not knowing thedifference between the fakes andthe real thing, quite right: I don’town either. And is Ms Simmonsseriously saying that the ‘real’shirts aren’t made in sweatshopson the other side of the world?

There were rumours that themain home, second home andothers would be taxed on the basisthat they were deemed to beturning over rental income even ifthey were not. It seems, however,that this measure will not be putinto place after all.

It was proposed in the Spanishtax law reform that the main homeexemption from capital gains taxwill be withdrawn, but the draft law

based on this does not include thismeasure.

There is an interesting newproposal in the reform to be laidbefore parliament that all taxpayersover age 65 will not be liable tocapital gains tax on any assets,provided they use the proceeds topurchase an annuity to supplementpension income.

The potential changes affect thetax paid on rental income and thecapital gains tax due on propertiespurchased before 1994 if sold after1st January 2015.

If you are resident in Spain andconsidering selling UK propertywhich you have owned for manyyears, you have a window ofopportunity to save tax. You couldtake advantage of the current lack ofUK taxation for non-UK residents(this changes from April 2015), plusthe availability of the Spanish reliefsfor length of ownership, tomaximise your gains at a minimumof tax if you sell before January

2015.If you are looking to sell a long-

term Spanish property, considerdoing so before January 2015.

Spanish residents over the age of65 who are considering sellingassets and would like to invest insome form of annuity may wish towait until the new laws come intoforce. If selling a UK property, youmay wish to sell between 1stJanuary and 5th April 2015 toavoid tax on the gain.

Anyone who owns and rents outUK property and pays no UK taxon their rental income because ofthe UK personal tax allowance, andlittle tax in Spain because of the60% exemption, may wish toreconsider their positions. As theUK government is proposing toremove the personal allowance fornon-residents (unless they havestrong economic connections to theUK), this may result in a higher UKincome tax liability. Now could bean opportune time to sell a property

to minimise capital gains tax.Those looking to purchase a

property would be better offentering into the contract beforethe end of 2014.

Remember that you need toconsider the interaction betweenSpanish and UK tax to determinewhat your tax liability would be andwhat would be the best course ofaction for you. Seek specialist,personalised advice for yoursituation.

Tax rates, scope and reliefs maychange. Any statements concerningtaxation are based upon ourunderstanding of current taxationlaws and practices which are subjectto change. Tax information has beensummarised; an individual shouldtake personalised advice.

The Spanish government hasproposed fiscal reforms which couldaffect the rental market.

Note that these are being debatedby parliament, and may change beforebeing approved or may not pass intolaw at all.

The proposals are that, with effectfrom 1st January 2015:

• The tax reduction which waspreviously available for purchasing anew build will be removed.

• The VAT rate on new builds willbe raised from 4% to 10%.

• The tax exemption available tolandlords to be reduced. Where thetenant is aged over 30, the exemptionwould reduce from 60% to 50%,where the tenant is under 30, toreduce from 100% to 50%. However,this proposal has not made it into thedraft laws to be placed beforeparliament.

• Inflation relief for propertiespurchased before 1994 will beeliminated.

LL this PC andracist rubbishreally has to stop.

If it walks like aduck, quacks like a duck andlooks like a duck, it’s highlylikely it could actually be aduck. If you’ve got frizzy haira broad nose and thick lipsyou are probably of Africandescent. If you have slantedeyes and a round face, youcould well have connectionswith China, Japan or certainother Asian origins. If you arewhite with a narrow nose andround eyes you are likely to befrom Europe or some westerncivilization.

These dammed PC andracist ranters have actuallymanaged to get millions of usdenying our very existence. Allof us are exactly the same onthe inside; we have justevolved differently on the out,generally because of the wideassortment of environmentsthat exist on this planet ofours. All these interfering PC

pillocks are using theinsecurity and immaturity ofvast numbers of people tocreate racial hatred where itnever existed before.

‘Paki’ was not considered aderogatory expression, untilthey decided it was. It wasmerely a more convenientshortening of the wordPakistani. The description ofJap is the same, as is Brit.What we all need to do isgrow up. There was no racismintended when the Black andWhite Minstrels made them-selves up for a bit of fun.

Many Japanese and Chinesecarnival participants painttheir faces white. The Golly onthe jar of marmalade wasmerely a black doll, nothingmore, nothing less; ratherflattering really. The people

who make these decisions arein fact the biggest bigotedracists of all.

The whole lot of thesesponging trouble makersshould be fired and theirinterfering, public money

financed organisations, closeddown for good. If they areallowed to continue unabated,I dread to think where it willall end. Probably with thebanning of the words blackand white altogether. Just a

minute, hasn’t that alreadybegun? Is it not, in somecircles, already frowned uponto ask for a black or whitecoffee? With or without milk isI understand now the moreacceptable term. Give us abreak.

The recent vomit inducingevents in Rotherham are aprime example of thealarming events that canoccur as a result of theseinterfering and highlydangerous PC committees.

Bunches of busybodies,which fester in our societieslike uncontrollable tumours.Well it’s high time they wereall stopped in their tracks. Ifthey are not, we’ll all be ateach other’s throats for simplyexisting at all. What do yamean, we already are? Nevermind. Chins up everyone. It’llbe a brighter day tomorrow!

Keep the faith.Love Leapy

OPINION & COMMENT EWN 434 - 10 September 2014 / Costa Blanca North

ANE POOLE, from SPCInternational Real Estate, hasbeen in Spain for 25 years andhas seen a lot of changes for thegood in terms of equality for

women. “Things like working as a notary were

mainly done just by men but now there area lot of female notaries and lawyers so inthat respect women have become freer,”she said, adding: “I think a lot of it is downto the woman herself, and attitudes havechanged as many women have to work.The only thing I do think Spain is at faultwith now is the new law on abortion, whichis a backward step for the country andwomen.”

Gabrielle Discher, owner of CountryLife health food store in Benissa, does notbelieve that Spain as a whole can beclassed as backward in women’s rights. “Asalways, it is just the view of a few. Spain isnow much more open-minded. I personallyhave never felt mistreated or been in asituation where I have felt inequalityagainst women,” she remarked.

But Matt Shatford of Weekend Sport,Vera Playa, said: “Yes, I think Spain isbehind the times sometimes with regardsto equality but that tends to be the oldermen who are stuck in their ways. Theyounger groups are completely the otherway and much more respectful of womenand equality so I think things are definitelyimproving.”

And Lynda ‘Loulou’ Barnes, of

Loulou’s Hair Design in Velez Rubio, said:“I’ve had no experience of being treated asless of an equal here in Spain. If anythingit was worse in the UK. Certainly noexamples come to mind. I feel morerespected here than the UK and am treatedmore like a lady.”

Paula Read-Kenny of Sophia’sWellness Centre in Arboleas agreed. “Ihave not found it to be a problem. But thenI think that if you give a good account ofyourself and prove your own worth, it isnever an issue,” shesaid.

J

THE question of equality of the sexes has raised its head with severalSpanish politicians being accused of a Dark Ages mentality towardswomen. Do you think Spain is backward when it comes to

women’s rights or is it no worse than anywhere else? Whatcan be done to improve equality?

OPINION & COMMENT 45EWN4 - 10 September 2014 / Costa Blanca North

HEN the Malayan airlinerMH17 carrying 298 passen-gers was destroyed,there was comfort from

knowing that the flight recorders wouldbe analysed in the incorruptible West.

In light of subsequent Dutch refusal torelease the flight recorder’s data andshillyshally over release of support dataheld by Kiev and the United States, theflight recorders might just as well havebeen sent to North Korea.

Happily, flight recorders provide only ajigsaw piece in such tragedies.

Almost certainly the US-installedUkrainian puppet regime was responsibleand the US and EU are complicit in thisawful crime.

With the war going badly Kievdesperately needed a reason to demoniseRussia to justify a NATO response. If blamefor the MH17 calamity could be pinned onRussia then both prayers would beanswered. False Flag operations are acts of

war carried out by covert forces to justifyconflict. America and Britain have a longand disgraceful history of arranging suchoperations.

The sinking of the Maine, a US battleshipin 1898 was never a Spanish provocation.The on-board explosion was an act ofsabotage. The subsequent US conspiredwar soon relieved Spain of Guam, thePhilippines and Cuba.

The Gulf of Tonkin incident, in whichAmerican warships were ‘attacked’ by theVietnamese, was later revealed to be a USinspired operation. The bogus outragebrought about the highly profitableVietnam War.

The passenger liner Lusitania wastorpedoed in 1915 after the US consul wassneakily informed that arms valued at £6million had been illicitly loaded. Thisremoved the ship’s neutral status. Thesubsequent loss of 1,200 passengers

including 128 American citizens, broughtthe US into the profitable World War One.

In September 1939 British liner Atheniawas torpedoed with similar loss of Britishand US life. This inspired ruse to bring theUS into the war failed to get the backing ofthe American people. Opportunity forAmerica to join in the spoils of war wasdelayed.

The later Japanese attack on PearlHarbour was instigated by US NavalIntelligence. Drawing up an eight pointplan to sanction Japan into oblivion, theJapanese responded by fighting their wayout of the US trade embargo corner.

Due to its defensive alliance, Germanywas obliged to side with Japan. Their doingso conveniently brought the US into WorldWar Two.

Wars are profitable: The US spent $2trillion (€1.51 trillion) on the Iraq War, 90per cent of which profits went to 1 per centof the US population, mostly located inCongress, the Senate and America’s elite.

Senators who voted to attack Syriareceived 83 per cent more campaignmoney from military contractors than didthose lawmakers voting no. Sadly, thedowned Malayan airliner is merely thelatest in a long list of False Flag operations.

OCCASIONALLY I amapproached with someinteresting demands“We have several pets -dogs, cats, hens - allrescued strays thatneed a watchful eyewhile we’re on holiday.Please find a sitter.”Well, I like a challenge!

How can I do this youask? Easy. I run afriendly network calledHouseSitMatch.comthat recruits from poolsof pet professionals,experienced sitters, andcollaborative home andpet owners who arehappy to network.

We meet online, weregister, present oursituation in a Profile anddon’t actually connectuntil we learn about

each other and feelsafe. There are checksand references youmake, and as an owneryou choose who comesto care for your petsonce you are ready.

Contact details arehidden. You revealthem to your chosensitter.

So who have wehelped? Some of ourowners include: Donniefrom Almeria (twohorses, two dogs andone cat); Derek andJenni near Fuengirola(one cat!). Can I helpyou as an owner, orwould you like tobecome a sitter?

For your free book onhousesitting go to:

HERE David gives some more adviceon agility training for dogs.

THE first contact obstacle will bethe Scale or ‘A’ Frame and is best forthe beginner dog, although manyhandlers will not believe this whenthey see the height is two metres. Itis wide and a lot more formidablethan a dog walk plank, which is alsoexcellent for training beginner dogs.There will also be low jumps and atunnel which dogs seem to love.

Control training is needed to getfrom one obstacle to another and asthe young dogs progress we start toteach different commands to turn the

dog to the left and right.A very important exercise for any

dog is the ‘down’ and the wait. Another important exercise is the

‘send away’ to send the dog ahead ofthe handler. An easy way to teach thedog the send away is to hold yourdog and get someone to put his foodon one side of the room, then sendthe dog to his food from increasingdistances away.

You and your dog can have funwith agility if it is timed correctly andprovided you and your dog are readyto progress. In my opinion it isimportant to remember that a dogthat is happy and enjoying himself, ismuch more likely to try hard to pleasehis owner, than one who is afraid heis going to get told off for a mistake.

Word Ladder

VIRGO(August 24 - September 23)You will consider this quite aboring week, no doubt, but thatcould soon be remedied as you seek outinvitations and social events. You aredoing no favours, either to yourself orothers, if you do not push yourselfforward. Others enjoy your company,even though you may be bored with ityourself.

LIBRA(September 24 - October 23)It may be a bit scary doingsomething different - you are astrong person, but unused to entering intonew experiences. Consider how youwould have approached this situation 20years ago; have you really changed? Areyou not the same person? Try to gain anew experience every week. .

SCORPIO(October 24 - November 22)It may be that you hesitate whenoffered an opportunity, not necessarilybecause you think that you are not up toit. The problem may be that you areaware that there are social aspects, andperhaps you feel unable to cope with toomuch attention at one time. Life busyenough?

SAGITTARIUS(November 23 - December21)Non-communication is a worryingthing. You sent out a message some timeago that remains unanswered, so to saveyourself agonies, why not telephone?Perhaps you hesitate because of arejection in the past.

CAPRICORN(December 22 - January 20)Having put out feelers forsomething to do in the summer evenings,it now seems that you are spoiled forchoice. Go for new experiences first andthe tried and tested later.

AQUARIUS(January 21 - February 19)A door fleetingly opens in front ofyou and you see somethingdesirable. After the door has closed youstill see the image. Why do you denywhat you need when it is so easilypossible for you to attain it? Reach outthis week in the right direction and keepmoving forward. .

PISCES(February 20 - March 20)As you know what you want, itshould be a simple thing todevise a method of getting it. But youmay need a little expert help and lotsof determination. Younger people turnout to be most useful in this respectand treat the whole thing as a game.

ARIES(March 21 - April 20)A surprise visit or phone callthis week takes your mind backinto the past. Perhaps something thatyou did not fully understand is nowexplained. Although, there may beelements that you find upsettingmidweek, it is important to realise thatsome things come your way for a goodreason.

TAURUS(April 21 - May 21)It is always difficult for you tostand by and see others makeglaring mistakes, especially a familymember. However, there are times whenit is important that people work things outfor themselves. It is only then that alesson is truly taken on board.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)Doing what is 'right' comes easilyto you, but this week throws up astrange situation, and this time doingwhat is 'right' could have the wrong result.I do hope that doesn't sound confusing,because it is not meant to be. To get theoutcome that you desire it may benecessary for you to withhold someinformation.

CANCER(June 22 - July 23)It is hard to fit into a situation thisweek - you thought nothing ofputting yourself in a certain position, butnow that you are there you see theproblem. You are not so much out ofplace, as feeling rather awkward. Why?This is a new experience for you, and youare unused to new places.

LEO(July 24 - August 23)A recently-accepted projectseems to be running away withitself - did you volunteer to do somethingsmall and find out that it is a big task?Never mind, because you are quite ableto ask for help, and in doing so you couldmeet someone who will be very importantto you. Do I have your interest now?

dissimilar to what we know asWellington Boots today.

5. General James Brudenell He led a difficult assault on a

7. Geronimo as a war cryIndian chief Geronimo was known among his

people for his staunch defence of his homelandsagainst the American troops. Thanks to a 1939film, Geronimo, his name became inextricablylinked with bravery and became something thatparatroopers would shout on their way out thedoor of a plane. This then spread to popular cultureand stuck.

8. BalaclavaDuring the Crimean War in 1854 the British

soldiers were so cold that they started to fashionknitted goods to cover not just the top of theirheads but their faces and these became known asBalaclava helmets after the region. They still existtoday for everyone from bank robbers to skiers.

9. Field Marshal Fitzroy Somerset Somerset was the first Baron Raglan and lost an

arm at the Battle of Waterloo which led him torequest that his tailors make his shirts with thesleeves sewn separately and, often, reaching allthe way to the neckline. The design eventuallybecame known as Raglan sleeves which are verypopular in a lot of modern sporting wear.

10. Molotov cocktails During the Winter War between the Soviet

Union and Finland the Soviet minister, VyacheslavMolotov, used propaganda to say the airforce wasdropping humanitarian aid to the starving Finnishpeople. In fact they were being bombed. TheFinnish, being low on weaponry but high on anger,then invented the bottle filled with petrol to throwat the Soviet troops, apparently, for them to have‘something to drink’ with the ‘food parcels.’ Thename stuck and is still being used today.

BRITISH historical novelistPhilippa Gregory, bestsellingauthor of The Other BoleynGirl and The White Princessbrings readers the compellingstory of Margaret Pole,daughter of George, Duke ofClarence, and one of the fewsurviving members of thePlantagenet dynasty, whichruled England for over threehundred years, from 1154

until 1485 andprovided the country

with 14 of its kings. Releasedin 2004, this captivating storyopens in 1499. England isruled by Henry VII, who hastwo sons with Elizabeth ofYork. While this should securehis line, the court is filled tothe brim with fear, suspicionand betrayal. Plantagenet is aperilous name to carry andheiress Margaret Pole ismarried off to a loyal Tudorsupporter. However, herbrother Edward’s claim just

1. The leotard Jean Marie Jules Leotard was a French lawyer

turned gymnast who invented the trapeze bystringing two ropes and hanging a bar betweenthem but he wasn’t remembered for this. In orderto perform acrobatics and swing on this newinvention he needed clothes that would not tanglein the ropes and the form-fitting leotard was born.

2. Bluetooth technology In the late 1990’s several tech companies all

clubbed together and decidedto use just one technologyto allow all their differentdevices to communicatewith each other. Theynamed this newtechnology Bluetoothafter a famous Viking, called Blatand or Bluetooth,because he had formed manyalliances and connections all over theArctic Circle and brought together manydifferent tribes of the area.

3. Big BerthaThese artillery pieces were known to be

MORE than 65 million adults and10 million children around theworld suffer from obesity.

It is no secret that morbidobesity is one of the leadingcauses of dangerous diseases, butwhat are some of the mostcommon obesity-related con-ditions?

High blood pressure and obesityusually rank high on the list of life-threatening problems resultingfrom an excess of body fat.

High blood pressure is the maincause of death among peopleolder than 25, according to theWorld Health Organisation (WHO).

Data show that approximately75 million people suffer fromhypertension or high bloodpressure. Weight gain is known to

increase blood pressure andresearch has shown that obesepatients usually display anincrease in blood volume andarterial resistance.

Obesity is one of the majorfactors in the development ofinsulin resistance, which can resultin type 2 diabetes. Nearly 100 percent of diabetes patients havetype 2 diabetes, says WHO.Obesity makes cells more resistantto the effects of insulin making itmore likely for people to developdiabetes.

Other dangerous diseases orconditions related to obesityinclude heart disease, highcholesterol levels, cancer, backpain, infertility, ulcers, skininfections and gallstones.

Morbid obesity is leading causeof life-threatening diseases

EXCESS OF BODY FAT: May lead to dangerous diseases.

NEXT time you chooseyour holiday destination,think about any healthailments you may have.The website tuMedico.eshas developed a numberof general recommend-ations.

HypertensionIf suffering from

hypertension, a beachlocation is advisableaccording to JoaquinCapdevila who helpedcreate the site: “Bloodpressure increases as youmove away from the sealevel.” To avoid suddendrops or rises in blood

pressure levels, Capdevilaadvises: “No physicalexercise during the hottesthours of the day and themonitoring of exposure tothe sun.”

Allergies andasthmatics

FEW would dispute that a dailyshower is necessary, but just howoften are you supposed to wash yourhair?

The truth is there are countlessmyths about shampooing, rangingfrom washing every day can be badfor your hair to shampooing beingunnecessary as your hair willnaturally begin with clean itself withtime. The answer to this conundrumis that it all depends on who you askand, more importantly, on your ownhair.

“A good benchmark for hairwashing should be twice a week orwhen you feel your hair needs it,”said hair consultant Scott Cornwall.According to him, if you have verythick, long and curly hair, it is enoughto give your hair a good wash once aweek as you are likely to spend along time blow drying or styling.

However, Chairman of the Instituteof Trichologists Marilyn Sherlock

thinks otherwise. “Wash it every day.We wash our bodies every day andclean our teeth twice a day. Whyshould hair be any different,” shesaid.

As stated by Sherlock, a daily washis a good idea because of all the

fumes from cars and pollution levels,but not in the case of African-Caribbean hair, which according toher is more porous and requiresoiling. It should only be washedevery two or three weeks so it willnot break.

THE gastronomy in the province ofAlmeria, Andalucia, is, as well as theirown original dishes, a mixture ofinfluences from the Granada Alpujarraregion and the Murcia kitchen.

One of the most popular disheswhich is also served as a tapa in thebars is Jibia en salsa (cuttlefish insauce). The cuttlefish is usually eitherboiled or grilled lightly and the sauceis made with a strong saffroninfluence and the juices from the fish– simple but very tasty. It is usuallygarnished with vegetables which havebeen boiled in the sauce to makethem tastier.

Caballa con pimientos (mackerelwith peppers) is another typical dishof the area and, as the namesuggests, it consists of lightly grilledmackerel, just seasoned with salt, androasted peppers with a very light yetfull flavoured wine reduction sauce.

Cazon en adobo (marinated

dogfish) is one of the region’sfavourite tapas and is just simplydogfish which has been marinated ina mix of vinegar, saffron, oregano,paprika, salt and water. Just leave fora few hours then coat it with flour anddeep fry. Serve with a lemon wedgeor a little of the left over marinade.

Salchichas al vino (sausages in

wine) is another tapas bar favourite.This is sausages fried in olive oil andwhen they are nearly done onions andother vegetables are thrown in toabsorb the flavour of the meat juicescoming off the sausages and toppedoff with a healthy dash of wine -reduce and serve. Just remember tostart off with good quality sausages.

WHEN did we all become so scared ofdrinking tap water? Why do so manypeople think that the water which flowsfrom taps is dirty and that the best

water comes in plastic bottles fromMercadona?

Basically the collective fear of tapwater has been one of the most brilliant

marketing strategies ofrecent history.

Out of thin air themarketing gurus createda whole new market for aproduct that everyonewas already getting atjust a fraction of theprice.

In 2001, SusanWellington, president ofthe Quaker Oats beveragedivision (USA) was quotedas saying “By the timewe’re done, tap water willbe relegated to theshower and dishwasher.”She wasn’t far wrong.

Europeans consumearound 36.3 billion litresof bottled water everyyear - it is a massiveindustry - here are a fewreasons to avoid thebottled water and go backto the tap.

It’s probably tap wateranyway. According toindustry estimates,approximately 40 per centof all bottled water inEurope comes from cityand municipal waterreserves.

It’s not a green thing todrink bottled water as ittakes three times asmuch water to make oneplastic bottle as it does tofill it.

Humans are consumingtoo much plastic and a lotof it is in the form of little,plastic water bottleswhich are turning up inseas and on beacheseverywhere.

Four out of five waterbottles in Europe aremade from non-recyclablematerials - they just gointo landfills whenfinished with.

A plastic water bottlewill outlive your grand-children - it takes 1,000years to biodegrade.

Bottled water costsaround 1,000 times theprice of tap water.

You probably can’t tastethe difference anyway.

Some reasons to notdrink bottled water

THERE are several shortcuts that can make life inthe kitchen so mucheasier to deal with andthey don’t even requirevery much effort.

Here are some of themost useful.

Peel a few large piecesof fresh ginger and breakthem into one inchsquare cubes then justplace them in the freezerand take out as required.They can be grated fromfrozen to cut down on theamount of juice that theyusually lose.

Keep onions and garlicfresh by placing them inopaque paper bags withplenty of air holespunched in. If kept inplastic bags they will gomouldy within weeks -the punched holes in the

paper bags allow air tocirculate and keep themfresh for months.

To prevent an openavocado from goingbrown either keep thestone in it or pour acapful of wine vinegarover the cut surface ofthe avocado - thisreduces oxidation whichis what makes it gobrown.

Get perfectly shreddedchicken without a fuss orscorched fingers byputting it in the foodmixer - just remember touse the paddle attach-ment and not the cuttingknives.

After making mayon-naise, save leftover eggwhites by pouring theminto ice cube trays to beused at a later date.

YEAR by year, as I agetowards 80, I realisethat many of the

villagers that reach 95 andeven 100 in our valley, andworldwide, have eaten anddrank herbs as infusions ona regular basis, includingrose hips and olive leaves.

Perhaps even moreimportant, as coastal citieshave grown and becomehubs of pollution, has beenthe quality of air that onecan still inhale in mountainvalleys. Air scented heavily

with the evaporated oils ofherbs like rosemary,lavender and thyme.

And 20 per cent of thatair is the vital oxygen that

we take in via our lungsevery second of our livesnight and day. Indeed,although we rarely look at itthis way, for many oxygen

is a very major ingredient inour Mediterranean diets.Typically 300 to 400grammes a day, and plantseat it too.

In a polluted environ-ment pollutants can createa strain on the lungs andthe heart. Long term thiscan cause unwantedchronic deceases.

In a garden environmentwhere beneficial aromaticplants have been plantedwisely the evaporatednatural oils in the air can beof added benefit.

Plants that create naturalaromatherapy effectsinclude aromatic herbssuch as lavender, sage,rosemary, thyme, lemonverbena, perfumed roses,citrus trees, pine trees andeucalyptus.

The figure of 400grammes of oxygen a dayis for a moderate level ofphysical activity. Heavypruning and sawing duringthe winter cutback, thedigging of planting holes,the preparing of the soil forthe planting of vegetables,the digging planting holesfor trees or a strenuouswalk in the mountains withmajor climbs cansignificantly increase one’singestion of oxygen to halfa kilo or more a day.

Even on a balanced diet,with 50 per cent or more ofecologically grown andprocessed fruits andvegetables of raw liveenergy, the proportion ofoxygen in the diet issignificant. I suspect thatthis is something that mostof us rarely think aboutwhether enthusiastic orreluctant gardeners.

So do preserve andimprove the quality of theair in your gardens not justwith plants but also byminimising spraying withinsecticides and fungicidesand when you have to usethem use only ecologicalones. Bottles of neem oil,propolis in alcohol, garlicand eco potassium soap orwashing up liquid will dealwith almost all problemsexcept for the weevilsattacking palm trees andagaves.

PROPERTY prices inSpain’s luxury real-estate market have

remained stable in thelast two quarters.

The number oftransactions has seen asubstantial increasethroughout all regionsand the gap betweensales and asking pricesis still narrowing,according to the latestfigures from Spanishreal-estate agencyLucas Fox.

Foreign investorsaccount for nearly 100per cent of Lucas Foxsales and the interestfrom clients from theMiddle East and the FarEast continues toincrease.

Moreover, investorsfrom Northern Europeancountries have beenlured back to Spain’s

opportunities.According to Lucas

Fox, there was a steady

sales upturn betweenJanuary and June whencompared to the samesix-month period in2013.

Though investors fromNorthern Europe andthe UK are still at theforefront of the renewedinterest in Spain’s real-estate market, the truthis that the interest fromnon-European investors,especially from theMiddle and the Far East,has continued to gain

momentum.Lucas Fox reportedly

generates 30 offers permonth and two out ofevery three turn intosales.

On the other hand,the average price forprime propertiesbetween April and Junewas €4,237 per squaremetre.

Now there is moreconfidence amongbuyers, especiallyinternational buyers andthe market in Barcelonahas kept improving sincethe beginning of theyear, said AlexanderVaughan from LucasFox.

Prices seem to havestabilised and thenumber of transactionsis growing at a slowpace.

The main differencenow is that sellers aremore realistic and theprices they are askingfor are more in line withexpectations frombuyers, he added.

As stated by LucasFox, the residentialmarket in Ibiza is stillbooming and thenumber of transactionshas seen a sizableincrease whencompared to 2013.

LAND ROVER unveiled itseagerly anticipated Range RoverSport SVR to global media at theprestigious Moscow Inter-national Auto Show (MIAS).

The first Land Rover to wearthe new high-performance SVRbadge, the Range Rover SportSVR has been created by JaguarLand Rover’s Special VehicleOperations.

The SVR is built on thesuccess of the new Range RoverSport with its all-aluminiummonocoque, retaining thecomfort, refinement and all-terrain versatility for which theRange Rover family is globallyrenowned.

The Range Rover Sport SVR isthe fastest and the mostpowerful Land Rover ever. Ininitial tests, Land Rover’s mostdynamic SUV has lapped

Germany’s legendaryNürburgring Nordschleiferacetrack in just eight minutes14 seconds, one of the fastesttimes ever recorded by astandard production SUV.

The SVR’s range-topping 5.0-

litre supercharged V8 enginehas been developed to produce550PS and 680Nm and iscapable of accelerating from 0-100km/h in a breathtaking 4.7seconds and on to anelectronically limited top speed

of 260km/h. An advanced ZF8HP70 eight-speed automatictransmission and four-wheel-drive chassis have beenoptimised to complement theastonishing performance, what-ever the weather.

The Russian debut of theDiscovery Vision concept givesthe vision of a future Discoveryfamily and showcases a wholerange of technologicalinnovations by Jaguar LandRover engineers.

Next generation HMI assistswith a wide selection ofinfotainment options that do notdistract the driver from theroad. Pioneering ‘TransparentBonnet’ technology, laserreferencing and laser scanningwill help the driver to overcomeeven the harshest challenges,on and off road. The first

member of the new family,inspired by Discovery VisionConcept, was due to berevealed on September 3.

The Moscow audience willalso see the Jaguar C-X17concept, the first sportscrossover by Jaguar whichdebuted in Frankfurt in 2013.

Jaguar C-X17 combines thecharacter and drivingexperience of a sports car withincreased presence, style andflexibility. The C-X17 has beencreated as a design study tointroduce Jaguar’s all-newadvanced aluminum mono-coque architecture, on which anexciting range of future Jaguarswill be built. The first model ofthe new range will be theJaguar XE compact sportssaloon. Rollout of this model willbegin in 2015.

MONTHS of speculationended after Volvo Carsunveiled its all-new VolvoXC90.

The manufacturer says ithas delivered on a promiseto introduce a visuallystriking, premium qualityseven-seat SUV with world-leading safety features,new powertrain tech-nologies, an unrivalledcombination of power andfuel efficiency and asuperlative interior finish.

Three years in themaking and part of an€8.34-billion investmentprogramme, the new XC90marks the beginning of anew chapter in Volvo’shistory, capturing its futuredesign direction, incor-porating its own range ofnew technologies andutilising its new ScalableProduct Architecture (SPA)technology.

“This is one of the mostimportant days in ourhistory. We are not justlaunching a car, but re-launching our brand. Thisday marks a new era. TheXC90 paves the way for aportfolio of exciting newcars to come in the future,”

said Håkan Samuelsson,President and CEO of VolvoCar Group.

The car will be the firstfrom Volvo to carry thecompany’s new, moreprominent, iron mark,which has the iconic arrowaligned with the diagonalslash across the grille.Together with the T-shapedThor’s Hammer DRL lights,the iron mark introduces a

new, distinctive and con-fident face for Volvo’s forth-coming generation of cars.

The XC90’s larger bonnetwith its new topography,the beltline and thesharpened shouldersconnecting with the tattoo-like, new rear lights areother important designsignatures that will bemirrored across the range.

To add more visual

muscle from the sides, theXC90 comes with a rangeof wheel sizes up to 22”.“The overall impression,both exterior and interior,has a strong connection tothe key elements of theSwedish lifestyle: thegenerous space, thecelebration of light and thefocus on wellbeing,” saidThomas Ingenlath, SeniorVice President Design.

PARK AND GO does exactlywhat it says, you park andyou go!

Parking at Alicante-Elcheairport has never been ascheap, simple and convenientas it is now with Park and Go.

Run by Idle Casanova, whohas more than five years ofexperience in the field, Parkand Go is part of a large,reputable existing companyand is the chosen parking forRyanair customers who bookairport parking.

They have over 1,000outdoor spaces and morethan 100 covered lots withindoor parking also available.

A network of minibuses isavailable 24 hours a day,seven days a week, so thereis never any waiting for yourshuttle transfer to the airportterminal after you havedropped off your vehicle. Thesite is conveniently locatedjust minutes from Alicante-Elche airport and is accessedvia its entrance so users knowthey are close by without

having to add to their journeytime.

Idle said they are unique ina number of ways, aside fromthe new and stylish on-sitereception area with coffeeand snack facilities, whichstands out against the regularportacabins normally used.

They allow customers tokeep their car keys: “Ofcourse, we can hold keys for

customers, but unlike mostother companies we do notmove your vehicle so you cankeep your key, givingcustomers extra security andpeace of mind.”

However, if you are leavingyour vehicle for a longerperiod of time you may wishto entrust Idle with the keyand take advantage of arange of other services

available. Park and Go can doa full valet service, carry outan ITV test and do mechanicalchecks to make sure whenyou arrive it is in perfectworking order. For stays overfive days all customersreceive a free automatic carwash.

New to Park and Go, theapp service is launching soon:“Nowhere else offers this, it

will make the service moreaccessible and even quickerfor people, allowing them todo everything via their smartphone from booking togetting through the barriers,and allows us to quicklyupdate customers with anynews and information.”

It is the way forward andjust another example of thecompany’s further commit-ment to offering a highlyprofessional, friendly andreliable service, allowingpeople to simply park and go.

A weekend stay costs just€12, a week €25 and a year(with up to 15 visits) €240,but take along the advert inthe Euro Weekly News andthe annual pass is just €200.

the greens were as tricky as ever.The conditions did not affect the

winners who came in with some verygood scores. In first place was RoyBooth off 19.1 with 39 points. Secondspot off 19.5 was Derek Gray with 37points and third on count back andalso on 37 points was David Knight off9.5. With a computer bufferadjustment of -2, all three had

significant handicap reductions withRoy and Derek both now back inDivision one.

Nearest the pin on Hole 3 wasArthur Rowley who also scored a twofor a coveted Warbler Ball. Roy Boothtook the honours on Hole 14. DaveKnight narrowly missed his first everhole-in-one on the par 3 fifth.

After the first round itwas very much any-one’s game with noobvious leader. Roundtwo saw some very tightly contested games.

Lunch break and the talk was of near misses, luckywicks and all the normal bowling ‘what ifs.’ Refreshed, ifnot cooled, they returned to the greens in the full heatof the day with temperatures of 30+ for the final round.

Two drawn games in the final session helped sort thefront runners from the pack and when the cards werecollected it was a tense period before the results couldbe announced.

The overall winner with the best shot difference wasMallory Glover, but runner up position was yet to bedecided. On equal points and equal shot difference itmeant a corner to corner shoot out for Angela Boutell topip Bob as runner up.
