New travel taxes won’t affect Tenerife tourists IF you believe this week’s horror stories about the “huge increases” in Air Passenger Duty (APD), which came into effect on Monday, it could put you off flying forever.

But fear not! Tenerife and the other Canary Islands have avoided the British Government’s main tax increases by being included in the lowest duty bracket..

That’s because the air mileage to every country has been calculated between London’s airports and the capital cities of the world, and it has been determined in Bands A, B, C and D for tax purposes.

Band A, covering shorthaul flights, has a range of 2,000 miles, which would ordinarily relegate Tenerife to the higher Band B rating.

But because Santa Cruz, our capital, is several miles nearer to London than the South airport, it takes the Island under the limit and will cost each traveller from the UK just £1 more.

True, Band D for long-haul trips takes in Australia, and that means a family of four, visiting relatives Down Under, will pay a punitive £340 in tax, or a ridiculous £680 if they opt for extra leg-room in premium economy.

But they are hardly likely to make that journey too often, and most holidaymakers travelling economy class on short-haul flights won’t feel the pinch.

The travelling distances are determined in a chart issued

by HM Customs and Excise, which puts us alongside Turkey, Albania, Croatia and Cyprus, among many other countries deemed to be within the short-haul range.

It is great news for the Tenerife tourism industry, but those flying to, say, Egypt, won’t be as happy

because they will each have to find an extra £15 as it has been bracketed in the Band B category.. Overall, though, the rise in APD has led to travel agents warning holiday-makers to check that advertised travel prices include the new taxes, to avoid any unwelcome surprises.

The tax was introduced in 1994 at the rate of £10 on long-haul flights and a fiver for short-haul trips. It was radically restructured and increased in 2007 by the previous government.

Labour said it was a necessary “green measure”, and the duty was determined according to whether travellers were flying long-haul or short-haul.

On 1st November 2009, these costs were changed to fall into four distance bands: A, B, C and D, with the latter being the most expensive.

Then, on Monday, exactly

one year later, the tax was increased further.

Overall, those travelling economy class to short-haul destinations in Europe (Band A) will be least affected, their duty on flights rising by £1 to £12. But people flying to medium and long-haul destinations will be hit harder.

But measuring the flight distances to a country’s capital city for UK travellers from London has led to anomalies. For example, on journeys to large countries such as the US, you can to fly to the state of Hawaii and pay less tax than if you travel to the Caribbean, which is much closer.

Travelzoo UK, an online company which deals with the best last-minute deals, claims that many people in Britain are still not fully aware of the changes to APD, which have been branded a “disgrace” by British

Airways boss Willie Walsh.

Phil Salcedo, publisher at Travelzoo UK, said: “The sad fact is that around 30% of the travel deals that we check simply don’t include taxes in the price.

“It means that, with this new increase in tax, travellers need to be extra wary and make sure the price they expect to pay doesn’t increase massively when they get to a page of taxes.”

He added: “We don’t think this is fair and we won’t feature or recommend deals from any travel company which doesn’t publish taxes and charges up front.”

There is more bad news for

travellers in the B Band and upwards because the Government plans to double APD revenue by 2014 to £3.8 billion, which represents the largest stealth-tax rise to hit the travelling public.

But because the Government increases in aviation tax have been hidden behind the overall price of an airline ticket, it is harder for increases to be understood by the travelling public.

Mark Tanzer, ABTA Chief Executive, said: “For too long, our customers have been taken advantage of with successive governments seeing flying as a convenient cash cow.

The home of good shopping Come & See our *NEW LOOK* Store, in Los Cristianos - now Bigger & better!

Opp. Paloma Beach Apts, CC Costamar, Los Cristianos and Las Chafiras

“These latest huge increases in APD will disproportionately affect families on tight budgets when they are under considerable financial pressure. Increasing taxes will make taking holidays and visiting friends and relatives unaffordable for many.

“Not only is this tax increase pricing people out of taking holidays, but it is also putting the UK at a clear competitive disadvantage when compared with our European competitors.

“ABTA is calling on the Government to call a halt to their planned tax rises that will see this flying tax double in the next five years and adopt a fairer tax system that will encourage real environmental improvements in air travel.

“The government will continue to hike air taxes unless there is a public outcry, and ABTA is also calling on holiday-makers paying more for their flights to make their views known to their MP and stop further increases.”

Colin Matthews, chief executive of BAA, said: “While we must all play our part in the recovery, we need a sensible tax policy that doesn’t stunt growth and damage our competitiveness, as this does.

“Ultimately, increasing APD will hurt consumers and businesses alike as it makes it more expensive to fly from the UK compared with other countries.

Thomas Cook believes the move is counter-productive, while Virgin Atlantic says family holidays will be “unaffordable for many.”

The future looks bleak for medium and long-term travellers, but anything that boosts the tourism trade in Tenerife will be welcomed over here.

Guides to aid whale watchers

England’s World cup bid hopes ‘Shattered’ ENGLAND’S 2018 World Cup bid has been “significantly damaged” by an undercover newspaper investigation into the voting process.

Sources in the campaign team say the Sunday Times’ report has caused an antiEnglish backlash among Fifa members Two Fifa executive committee members - Nigeria’s Amos Adamu and Tahiti’s Reynald Temarii - were suspended after claims they asked for money for projects in return for World Cup votes. The pair deny any wrongdoing.

There are also fears that a separate BBC Panorama programme due to be screened before the vote on December 2 could doom England’s hopes completely.

The admission comes after Mohamed Bin Hammam, one of the 24-man executive committee who will vote on the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosts, condemned the paper’s investigation as “unethical”.

He said on his website: “Forging identity, fabricating evidence and setting traps

are unethical behaviours in my point of view.

“How will we clean dirty laundry by using dirty water?”

A senior England 2018 source said: “This has significantly damaged England’s bid because the Fifa executive committee feel they are being targeted by the English media.”

The team’s strategy in the remaining weeks is to try to persuade Fifa members that they should not be held responsible for Fleet Street’s actions.

Meanwhile, Russia’s 2018 World Cup bid team has denied offering any inducements to secure Mr Adamu’s vote.

The Fifa ethics committee is also investigating separate allegations that Qatar’s 2022 bid colluded with the Spain/Portugal 2018 bid something forbidden by regulations.

England are competing for the right to host the 2018 tournament with Russia and joint bids from Spain/Portugal and Netherlands/Belgium.

Australia, Qatar, Japan, South Korea and the US are bidding to host the 2022 World Cup.

Nursery slammed as 'Ideal' for child abuse

THE AIM is to improve care and service provided to more than 700,000 tourists who enjoy whale-watching each year on the island.

A total of 25 guides have enrolled in the specialization course on whale watching organized by Turismo de Tenerife, which means that it has completed all of places available. The first vice president and chief Cabildo Insular de Turismo, José Manuel Bermúdez, stresses that the

main objective of this training activity is “to improve care and service provided to more than 700,000 tourists who enjoy this activity every year on our island.“ The course, which will take place at the Costa Adeje Tourism Development and will consist of 35 teaching hours, starting next Thursday [4th] and end on November 18th. During the training activity it will equip attendees with theoretical knowledge and practical tools necessary to develop ecotourism in the marine environment particularly

05 November 2010 - 11 November 2010

related to the direct observation of cetaceans in the wild.

The training will focus on key elements of the Canarian marine environment, the basic characteristics of the whale or the differences between whales and dolphins. It will also address the regulatory aspects of this activity, the importance of the tourist, customers with special needs, activities and qualities of a guide or group management techniques, among other issues.

This training activity complements other initiatives by

Tenerife Tourism to boost the product of whale watching as the installation of information and interpretive panels at marinas and walking areas of the municipalities in which the activity occurs or the establishment of a Quality Charter for companies that offer this service.

It may be recalled that among the cetaceans that live in the south of Tenerife it has a stable population estimated at about 500 pilot whales. Bottlenose dolphins also live permanently in the waters of southwest Tenerife.

The nursery where Vanessa George worked provided "an ideal environment" for her to prey on toddlers in her care, an official report has concluded.

The 40-year-old paedophile was jailed last year for taking photographs on her phone as she abused children at the Little Ted's nursery in Plymouth, Devon.

Plymouth City Council's Safeguarding Children Board described it as a "shocking and unprecedented case".

But it admitted that due to serious failings in Ofsted's supervisory framework similar crimes could be happening in other nurseries in the UK. The board launched a serious case review following the arrest of the self-styled "paedo whore mum" and dozens of people were interviewed.

Its aim was to determine how an apparently respected and well-liked nursery worker was able to commit her crimes without drawing any attention.

The review concluded that a combination of weak management, poor training and a lack of external scrutiny

"provided an ideal environment within which George could abuse".

And while it said no-one could have predicted George would be a risk to children, her colleagues failed to raise the alarm when her behaviour and conversations became increasingly sexualised. George, who was a senior member of staff, even showed colleagues adult porn images on her mobile phone.

The mother-of-two was described as "horrible" by staff but also as the "life and soul of the party".

It also emerged she was never formally interviewed for the job.

"Her age, personality and length of service could have created an illusion of power and encouraged a sense of trust," it added.

"K (George) is of the ability to behave in a highly manipulative manner and hence gain high levels of trust in others."

The board recommended steps to stop similar scandals happening again, including safer recruitment procedures and effective whistleblowing procedures.

A WORD FROM OUR EDITOR

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

Things that go bump in the night

You think it will never happen to you. You’re sure that Post Office receipt gathering dust in the back of your wallet is still valid.

You’re on two weeks holiday on a foreign island; you end up being taken to hospital by ambulance with blood spurting from a nasty wound on the back of your head following a fall. You’re in a waiting room disorientated with slurred speech not being able to understand what is being said to you as it’s in Spanish. What happens next?

It transpires that the dusty receipt is your travel insurance and it’s expired. The hospital will assess your injury and stop the bleeding but will not administer further treatment until you can present your travel insurance, credit card or at a minimum your European Health Card.

The story I have recounted is true. According to ABTA, 19% of UK holidaymakers are running the risk of having to pay hefty medical bills by travelling abroad without travel insurance. This alarming statistic was revealed in the 2010 ABTA Consumer Trends survey unveiled at the Travel Convention in Malta. 17% also believe that it is not important to take out travel insurance and 16% are under the misapprehension that the UK government will cover their medical expenses with 26% of 1524 year olds believing this to be the case.

In addition 55% of consumers do not purchase travel insurance when holidaying in the UK leaving them without cover for cancellation charges

if they were to fall ill or lose their job.

Mike Monk ABTA Head of Finance said: “It is very worrying that almost 1 in 5 holidaymakers are going abroad without insurance and running the risk of substantial medical bills.

Many of these believe incorrectly that the Foreign Office will pay their expenses. Also, well over half of UK holidaymakers are in danger of not being covered for cancellation charges due to illness or redundancy. In the current economic climate saving the cost of travel insurance could prove a very false economy.”

Lynda St Cooke of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s Know Before You Go Campaign said: “Like ABTA, we are worried that so many British travellers are going abroad without travel insurance. It’s a false economy - we see many cases where holiday makers are faced with bills of tens of thousands of pounds for medical treatment and repatriation. Getting comprehensive travel insurance means that whilst an accident may disrupt your holiday, it won’t bankrupt you.”

Alongside booking your flight, worrying about the weight of your luggage and whether your hand baggage will fit snugly into that metal frame at the airport spare a thought what would happen if anything untoward should happen to you.

Always carry a copy of your passport and travel insurance with you together with your European Health Card. It will save time, money and ensure swift treatment. As well as peace of mind for those closest to you.

Until next week…

Adeje - tighter control on nightlife THE MAYOR of Adeje, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, along with Councillor, Mark Barrera, Deputy Commissioner of the Local Police, Miguel Angel Morales, on Friday submitted a plan of action to eradicate bottles and control the parties that have been happening in the town for some months.

The mayor wanted to make clear from the outset that “I am not against the nightlife but the situation has overflowed. We have prepared a plan to control and rationalize the unwanted leisure and in parallel, open channels of dialogue to see what kind of entertainment is wanted in Adeje. We want to eradicate

and prevent the influx of the bottles that also produces an undesirable image of our destination, besides being a nuisance to neighbors who are suffering. The first step taken by the Mayor in this regard is to centralize the coordination of all issues related to nightlife, plus permits for festivals.

Other measures announced

by José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga is the inspection of all premises linked directly or indirectly to this type of activities. Inspections will be “very stringent and severe,” said the mayor and they mist meet all local municipal regulations, such as time, capacity, or openness.

Breast Cancer awareness The Department of Health of the City of Granadilla de Abona is holding this Saturday at the Hotel Medano an informative day on the occasion of World Breast Cancer open to all interested citizens. It will start at 9.30 am with a simple opening ceremony that will give way to talks on orthopedics, rehabilitation, physiotherapy and aids by the Spanish Association Against Cancer.

María del Carmen Navarro, head of Granadilla Department of Health, reported that the day is completely free to participate in.

A draft bill to amend the Civil Register laws and further promote sexual equality is being presented to congress. If it is accepted, the historical preference given to the paternal surname over the maternal surname when registering a child in Spain, could disappear, with the parents having the right to put the surnames in the order they choose, and if no preference is stated, using alphabetical order as the default.

If the new law is adopted, both parents would have to be in agreement about the order, otherwise the the registrar would register the child’s surnames in alphabetical order by default. Any decision taken by the parents with their first child would have to be hon-

oured for any subsequent children.

On registering a newborn child under the new system, no reference would be made to the marital status of the parents either, which is a change from the current situation. The draft bill also calls for the replacement of the traditional “libro de familia”

with individual registers for each citizen, linked to a personal code, which would allow access to an electronic data base containing all the relevant data for that person.

In another move, the government wants victims of domestic violence to be able, in certain exceptional cases, to be able to change their surnames

by means of an order from the Justice Ministry.

The draft bill has come in for a great deal of criticism from other parliamentary groups, who believe that there are much more important issues to be discussed in the current climate and that debating surname order at this point is a waste of their time.

Toe-tally cool PINKIES in the Apolo Centre, Los Cristianos have introduced the latest phenomenon in beauty treatments – the fish pedicure.

Thousands of people are apparently flocking to try the latest in spa pampering in the US. Basically the ‘fish pedicure’ involves tiny fish nibbling away dead skin to leave your feet soft and smooth.

Doctor fish is the name given to the type of fish; they live and breed in the outdoor pools of some Turkish spas, where they feed on the skin of patients with psoriasis. Historically Turkey is where this newest foot treatment is said to have originated.

It sounds ghastly but proves very effective, the fish are like comb fishes in that they only consume the affected and dead areas of the skin, leaving the healthy skin to grow.

Pinkies offer three levels of treatment – maintenance, mini pedicure and spa pedicure using the genuine Dr Fish.

Simply call and arrange an

appointment, in the beauty salon where you sit on a bench and place your feet into the tank, you let Dr Fish eat your dead skin cells, it’s not dangerous.

The small grey, silver bellied fish flitter around the whole of your foot, all you can feel is like a tickling sensation. They themselves have a working life of 4-6 years. The treatment is excellent for those with psoriasis and it improves your circulation which is good for the whole of your body. As

well as having soft, smooth feet. The treatment is not meant as a curative treatment option, only as a temporary alleviation of symptoms, and patients usually revisit regularly to keep smooth feet.

In 2006, doctor fish spa resorts opened in Hakone, Japan, and in Umag, Croatia, where the fish are used to clean the bathers at the spa.

There are also spas in resorts in Hainan, China, as well as Belgium, the Netherlands, South Korea,

Singapore, Hungary from 2010, Slovakia, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Hong Kong and Bucharest, Romania.

In 2008, the first widely known doctor fish pedicure service was opened in the United States in Alexandria, Virginia, and later in Woodbridge, Virginia. In 2010 the first UK spa opened in the UK. Go on give it a go you know you want to, call Amy at Pinkies on 922 788 970.

Mayor resigns in Santa Cruz THE CURRENT Mayor of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Miguel Zerolo, will not stand for re-election in the May 2011 elections and, therefore, will leave the post he has held for the past 16 years.

Despite his decision he said he will still “continue in politics and stand for elections.”

Zerolo announced his inten-

tions at a press conference at the headquarters of the Canarian Coalition (CC), accompanied by the chairman of his party, Javier Gonzalez Ortiz, and the local president, José Manuel Bermúdez.

It is not yet known who will succeed him, but the candidate proposed by Zerolo himself is José Manuel Bermúdez. Bermudez is, according Zerolo, “young, eager, who knows the corporation and the neighborhoods.” Bermudez is currently the Island Tourism Minister, Cabildo de Tenerife.

THE HOME Office is launching a space Tuenti to inform young people about security and coexistence.

The Interior Ministry has launched a new social space Tuenti platform that will allow millions of young people to have network access to the advice offered by the staff of the National Police and Guardia Civil on security and coexistence.

The “Plan Contigo” is aimed at promoting the protection of adolescents and warn against possible crimes.

This new initiative is in addition to those from 2007 carryied out by National Police and Guardia Civil through the Master Plan for the Improvement of Living and School Safety, created in order to respond in a coordinated and effective response to issues of the safety of children in the school and its environment, and strengthen police cooperation with the educational community.

Since then, it has driven the development of activities, talks and lectures in schools aimed at students and taught by police experts.

It aims to provide informa-

Tuenti tion on problems and risks facing young people, to motivate the adoption of behaviours and to provide parents and teachers screening guidelines, in addition to immediate assistance in the most serious, specialized police officers.

Alongside this work by the security forces in schools, the “Plan Contigo” will enable all young people to communicate daily through Tuenti have available space

in which to learn about topics such as bullying, drugs and alcohol, youth gangs, the Internet, or gender violence. Through plancontigo@mir.es address they may contact the agents who can resolve any questions about situations that may be taking place as well as the possibility of assistance or information on these topics.

During the school year 2009/2010, the agents of the security forces and local

police integrated into the Plan developed about 25,000 activities (lectures, conferences, meetings with teachers and parents of students, etc) in 3,537 schools across Spain.

In 2007/2008 it was 15,000, while in 2008/2009 it reached 20,000 activities, data that reflect an increasing incidence every year.

It should be noted the more than 13,000 meetings held by the agents during the last academic year with teachers and staff, and the 1752 meetings that have taken place with associations of parents of students.

Poppy Day draws near

So generous charity golfers in Scramble to help the children PALOMA Beach Golf Society members are gearing up for their annual charity event, always held on Remembrance Sunday (14th November this year) at the Golf del Sur course.

The charitable society, established in 1990, is raising funds this time to help build an outside play area for the Granadilla Children’s Care Centre.

Some 42 children, aged three to 16, are based there and, says organiser Jacqui: “We are going to promote a competition to design the best play area possible for these children.

“We need help to get it off the ground, and we are looking to have competitions for the age groups 3-9 and 9-16 years. So if you would like to design a play ground for the children you can drop your entries into the Canarian Weekly, Penny Farthing or Oasis Money Exchange.

Fans Delight I AM A Tenerife fan, that’s the name of the new CD Tenerife fan shop that opened last Sunday in the Fanabe Plaza Commercial Centre.

The name epitomises the ethos of owner Nikki and he is the life blood that runs through every aspect of the shop itself. Canarian Weekly caught up with Nikki after the successful launch event last weekend.

Nikki told Canarian Weekly: “the name of the shop means i´m a Tenerife fan, it sums up the way I feel, I’ve supported CDT for over 10 years, it’s given me a sense of belonging

Page 08

with the island that I wouldn’t have had.”

For Nikki the shop, if you’ll excuse the cliché, is like realising a childhood dream. “There was nothing here in the south for fans, so we’ve filled the gap. Football brings people together of all nationalities, there is no political bias, we support through the good times and the bad.”

Soy del Tete has been lovingly set out, it doesn’t have just football shirts, but smaller items as well if you want to buy that something special – glasses, mugs and other team items.

But if you’re an avid fan you won’t be disappointed either – official strip, flags, scarves, casual wear and a whole host

of supporter’s paraphernalia they have it all.

Soy del Tete has that something extra, everyone associated with the shop are passionate CD Tenerife supporters.

So even if you don’t need anything right now for your CDT collection just pop in for a look around or a bit of banter about the latest weekend result.

It’s the only shop of its type here in the south, and, all of the items are official products sourced from the official suppliers. Open from Monday to Saturday, 10am until 8pm.

If you spend over 30 euros then you will receive free parking.

Highs and lows of granny, aged 77 AN incredible 77-year-old Spanish grandmother has become the world’s oldest professional, free-style parachutejumper.

Montse has jumped 902 times since her first descent, 37 years ago. And despite a prosthesis in her hip, the Catalan granny intends to carry on jumping.

“I started with skiing, because I am from mother hearth, land, air and water,” she said. “Then I continued with swimming,

Montse has practised jumping from great heights all over the world, competing in her first world championship in Empuria Brava in 1993, and in Arizona the following year. She added: “Every time I go to a championship, they all say the same to me: “We know you don’t do training and we know your age, but seeing you here is a privilege for us.”

Prominsur has banana bonus

Dole queues continue to grow THERE was more depression throughout Spain last month as the unemployment figures soared by 68,213.

The Ministry for Employment and Immigration announced that the number of people on the dole had reached 4,085,976.

That increases the jobless tally by 1.7% against the September total, and 7.3% more against October last year. It is the third consecutive increase in the INEM figures.

Yet the building sector actually saw a decrease in figures, with 2,697 fewer workers unemployed. But increases were recorded in all other sectors, especially in the services sector where there was an 11.8% rise, with 49,056 more people out of

jobs. The number of people finding work was down 3.2% against the previous month, with 1,346,087 contracts signed, although only 118,422 were fixed.

These figures from the Ministry for Employment and Immigration contradict those published last week by the National Statistics Institute, which pointed to a fall of 70,800 in the unemployed ranks in the third quarter of the year.

Meanwhile, a survey from the Great Place to Work Institute, carried out between 30,000 workers from 250 Spanish companies in various sectors, depicts only 43% of Spanish workers believing they are being paid a fair wage.

Tenerife Symphony Orchestra LA ORQUESTA Sinfónica de Tenerife (OST) continues to celebrate its 75th Anniversary this weekend, at the Teatro Guimera, under the direction of Armando Alfonso.

It was November 16th, 1935 when the Theatre Guimerá of Santa Cruz was first introduced to the public with orchestral musicians and teachers of the municipal and military bands.

This would be the birth of the formation known as the Chamber Orchestra of the Canary Islands and in 1970 would be called Tenerife Symphony Orchestra.

To mark this anniversary the Tenerife Symphony Orchestra opened its season with two programmes that have special place in the birthplace of training, and its headquarters for decades, the Theatre Guimerá.

Home-grown Spanish marijuana blossoming POLICE have discovered a boom in homegown marijuana all over Spain because of the recession.

At least 12 incidents were uncovered last month across the country, from La Coruña in the north-west to Alicante, in the south.

A police spokesman from Madrid’s anti-drug unit said: ‘People are growing plants to reduce the price of their consumption, and as a way of generating additional income by selling some to friends.”

The Guardia Civil believes the number of marijuana hauls has risen in line with an estimated 30% jump in use.

They also feel that areas of detached villas away from the city often offer privacy for the growth of the plants, and the facilities for processing the drug Police generally rely on tip-offs from neighbours - unless, of course, they decide to help themselves to some of the plants for their own use.

Mafia groups are also using such properties.

Under Spanish law, growing marijuana is banned “from the first plant”, and leads to various penalties, from a simple fine to 12 years in prison for trafficking.

By coincidence, the news was broken on the day that California voted on the legalisation of the recreational use of marijuana.

In September, new-car sales were down 26.9% from the same month a year ago, following successive drops of 23.8% and 24.1% in the preceding two months.

Individual car purchases, the largest section of the market, could have fallen as much as 50% in October, according to the initial figures. And the ANFAC put auto sales at less than 900,000 for the entire

year so far. The trouble began in July when the trade-in bonus scheme ended, and the government increased sales taxes to enhance public finances The ANFAC has warned for several months that problems in the auto industry could have a serious knock-on effect in the Spanish economy, which has just eased out of recession this year.

Spain’s 10-year-old mum: Family are ‘happy’ A mother whose 10year-old daughter has given birth to a baby has said the family are “very happy” despite an international outcry.

The woman, who gave her name only as Olimpia, said she was surprised the birth of her granddaughter in Spain had made headlines around the world.

“She’s doing well and is very happy with her daughter,” she said of her child, Eleanor, and new granddaughter Nicoletta.

The woman, who Spanish authorities have described as a Romanian gypsy, told reporters the baby’s father is a 13-year-old.

He lives in Romania and the young couple have since split up, she added.

Eleanor and newborn Nicoletta are living with their family while social services investigate.

Olimpia told reporters in the southern town of Lebrija that it is traditional for Romanian

girls to have unofficial wedding ceremonies when they are very young even though they are not recognised by the state.

“That’s the way we get married,” she said.

The Spanish authorities have not released many details about the girl to protect her

privacy. It is understood she moved to the country in the last month. Spain considers sex with someone under the age of 13 child abuse. But an anonymous official from the country’s Justice Ministry said it was not yet clear if the boy can be charged as he is only 13 and in Romania.

Golfers score heavily for Orobal TENERIFE Golf Shop, at Las Chafiras, has combined with Going Golfing Holidays and GF Hoteles to support the Orobal family and support centre, in Los Cristianos.

And this week, they presented a cheque for 1,500 euros to this magnificent charity, which provides much-needed care for children and adolescents with all types of disabilities, such as Downs Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism and many more.

The three fund-raisers have found an excellent way of collecting funds for Orobal - on the golf course.

Hole 16 at Adeje and Amarilla Golf’s Hole 12 are where those playing can pay ten euros to enter a ´holein-one competition’.

Everyone who enters gets a pack of tees, and if you manage to get your ball on the green, you get a small prize.

But if you’re fortunate enough to get a hole-in-one, you win seven nights in a five-star GF Hotel here in Tenerife. More importantly, the funds raised go towards the Orobal charity.

Meanwhile, the people who run the Orobal centre have played a huge part in bringing happiness to a Golf del Sur couple and their child.

In fact, a chance meeting with a taxi driver changed forever the lives of Stef McNeill and his partner Sandra - and especially that of daughter Hannah, who was born with Cerebral Palsy.

It was purely coincidence that as Sandra searched for a rehabilitation centre in the south for Hannah, the San Miguel cabbie’s own niece attended Orobal.

That was five years ago and Stef and Sandra, who run the Wild Geese Irish bar on Golf del Sur, have been firm supporters of the centre ever since.

So much so that they stage an annual golf event among regulars and friends to raise valuable funds for the charity.

Stef said: “From the age of one, Hannah was attending rehab in Candelaria Hospital, in the North. This meant we had to travel twice a week and, as you can imagine, it was very hard on Hannah.

“When she turned three she started school, and for the first year it meant that she had to leave school twice a week early, missing out in her schooling.

“Thankfully, we were informed that we could apply for help from BACCA, which in turn aided us to find a centre in the south. That’s when the taxi driver came into it and since that day, we have never looked back.”

Stef added: “Orobal have given us an opportunity to see our Hannah thrive, and she has overcome huge obstacles and achieved great things, such as swimming with dolphins. This would never have been available to us anywhere else.

“Edita and her team have embraced us, as they do with so many other families.

They took us under their wing and, as we were nonnationals, helped us with all the red tape, such as the dis-

Billionaire beaten with crowbar by raiders One of Britain’s richest businessmen was beaten with a crowbar while trying to protect his family from burglars at his £7.5m home.

John Caudwell, 57, suffered wounds to his forehead, arms and back when a group of balaclava-clad men burst into his kitchen at Broughton Hall near Eccleshall, Staffordshire.

He was reportedly bound and gagged during the raid last Monday evening.

His partner, former model Claire Johnson, 41, and a female staff member, 22, were also assaulted, but not physically injured.

The intruders stole an unspecified amount of cash

and jewellery and then fled over fields near the 50-bedroom Grade I listed property.

Police have arrested a 48year-old man on suspicion of aggravated burglary.

Mr Caudwell, who sold his mobile phone group for a reported £1.4bn four years ago, said: “Thankfully, nobody else was hurt physically.

“Although no doubt the shock of the event and the

“Every year, the funds from our golf tournament go to Orobal to help them continue with the great work. So far, we have been able to help raise money towards their new centre in Los Cristianos, which opened last year.

“This year’s tournament proved to be another winner, raising over 3,000 euros, which we presented to Orobal in a ceremony at the Wild Geese.

“The golf day is always a

great event for everyone involved. And after all the ‘hard work’ on the course, we always have a good old-fashioned knees-up!

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people involved for their ongoing support and look forward to next year’s golf tournament.”

Orobal arrange outings and craft workshops for the older ones, and provide muchneeded respite for parents

with severely-disabled children. In addition, they work with the Special Olympics Council.

The treatments there include physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy and psychology. They also have courses where they help the children to integrate with other children and people in general.

World News THE BANK of England has made no change in the interest rate and has decided not to follow the US by pumping more cash into the economy through quantitative easing.

Interest rates have been at the historic low of 0.5% for 20 months now and the level of quantitative easing (QE) remains at £200bn.

On Wednesday the US Federal Reserve unveiled a second QE round of £372.8bn in a bid to kick-start the lagging recovery.

But in the UK, higher than expected third quarter GDP growth of 0.8%, as well as upbeat manufacturing data, has diminished the case for a further cash injection.

However, an increase in the number of homeowners choosing to remortgage their properties suggests people fear higher interest rates are on the way.

Many homeowners had been biding their time on their lender’s standard variable rate (SVR) while they waited for house price rises to boost the amount of equity they had in their property, enabling them to qualify for a lower rate.

But recent surveys have

shown a mixed picture for property prices: Halifax’s latest update shows a 1.8% rise

in prices in October, but that follows a huge 3.6% fall in September.

Halifax housing economist Martin Ellis said: “Looking at the quarterly figures, there’s

a gentle downward drift - and we’re expecting house prices to flatten out.”

Meanwhile the steady improvement that had been seen in the mortgage market has now stalled. The average cost of a five-year fixed rate mortgage edged down by just 0.04% to 5.32% between the beginning of October and the beginning of November, while the typical cost of a two-year deal actually increased by 0.08% to 4.48% during the same period, according to financial information group Moneyfacts.co.uk.

Swap rates, upon which fixed rate mortgages are partially based, have also increased, with five-year swaps jumping from 1.99% on October 21 to 2.21% on October 27, following the GDP figures. Only a quarter of new home loans taken out during August were for people who were remortgaging, the lowest proportion for a decade, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders.

But Ray Boulger, senior technical manager at mortgage broker John Charcol, thinks this may represent the low point of the market.

He said John Charcol had seen a pick up in remortgaging activity during the past couple of months, with remortgaging accounting for 53% of all loans arranged during September.

Lions maul a safari shower man to death A PRIDE of lions has dragged a man from a shower at a remote safari camp and mauled him to death.

Peter Evershed was dragged from the bathroom by five lions at a bush camp on Zimbabwe’s border with Zambia.

The 59-year-old businessman had been on a fishing trip at the Chitake Camping site in northern Zimbabwe with his wife Jane.

According to Mashonaland West provincial police spokesman Inspector Clemence Mabgweazara, Mr Evershed was taking a shower under a tree near the campsite when he was surrounded by the pride.

“He screamed for help from other tourists who quickly drove to the scene flashing their lights in a bid to scare away the marauding lions,” he said.

But the attack continued until safari operator Steven Pop fired shots in the air to scare off the lions.

However, by that time Mr Evershed had suffered a fatal throat wound, according to Zimbabwe’s Herald Online.

Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force head Johnny Rodrigues said that a surge in poaching and illegal hunting has helped made the wild animals more aggressive.

Last month an elephant killed a visitor in a nearby area, and soon after a conservation activist died in a charge by a wounded buffalo.

Safaris have become an important revenue source for Zimbabwe, which has suffered from hyper-inflation in recent years.

Royle Family star is £1m benefactor

HE IS BEST known for his role as a cheapskate in The Royle Family but Ricky Tomlinson has proved life doesn’t always imitate art by donating £1m to a children’s charity.

The modest actor has remained tight-lipped about the donation he gave two years ago, but the Ronald McDonald House charity confirmed the gift.

The charity provides overnight accommodation for families of patients staying at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool.

The donation helped fund a new £1.5m unit for people who need to stay for more than six months.

Jan Thomas, director of Ronald McDonald House, said they were overwhelmed at the size of the donation when first presented it.

“He has made such a difference to the families who need to stay at Ronald McDonald House (RMH),” she

said.

“His accountant rang us and said Eric Tomlinson wants to make a donation.

“We didn’t know who Eric Tomlinson was. Then we realised it was Ricky.”

The remaining money needed for the accommodation was raised by family and friends of children who had stayed at RMH. Tomlinson laid a time capsule within the foundations of the new apartments earlier this week.

Other celebrities who are known to have made gener-

ous donations to charity include: Microsoft founder Bill Gates: A record-breaking charitable donation of £6bn to develop and distribute vaccines.

Chat-show host Oprah Winfrey: £6m to Hurricane Katrina victims.

Pop star Madonna: £150,000 to the Haiti earthquake fund.

Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: Countless contributions to varying charities, including £600,000 to a children’s cancer centre.

Tom Cruise - Qantas plane forced to Dubai stunt make emergency landing A Qantas passenger plane has made an emergency landing in Singapore after one of its engines failed over Indonesia.

HOLLYWOOD star Tom Cruise has performed a breathtaking stunt for his latest film by dangling from the world’s tallest building.

The actor was filming scenes for Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

He was spotted tethered to a line attached to the almost half a mile-high building during the making of the fourth

Page 14

movie in the franchise. Local media reports included photos of the black-clad Cruise as he strode over the front of the glass-and-steel spire last Monday.

The Burj Khalifa reaches 181 floors and is 2,717ft-high the scenes were being filmed about two-thirds of the way up.

Filming crew used a helicopter to get close to the action.

The new film, which is also being filmed in Moscow and Vancouver, is scheduled for release in December 2011.

Flight QF32, which originated in London, was travelling from Singapore to Sydney with 433 passengers and 26 crew on board.

The Airbus A380 superjumbo experienced “a significant engine failure” less than 15 minutes after take-off.

Metal debris - including a piece carrying the airline’s famous “flying kangaroo” logo - was recovered by locals on the Indonesian island of Batam.

The Qantas pilot was able to land safely back at Singapore’s Changi airport and no one was hurt in the incident.

Inspections of the damaged engine have begun, but the problem has been identified as an “uncontained engine failure”.

Former BA pilot Alastair Rosenschein said: “It looks initially like it’s a turbine blade or a fan blade failure, which has

then done further damage to the engine.

“What is of particular concern for any pilot is that the failure was uncontained.

“That means it actually broke free of the casing of the engine and therefore may have done additionally damage to the aircraft.

“If there had been damage to the cabin, that would cause depressurisation.

“Any form of uncontained failure with an engine as big as this - and this is the largest airline engine in the world the damage could be quite substantial.”

Qantas announced it was grounding all six of its A380 airbuses - the flagship of its 191-strong fleet.

Chief executive Alan Joyce told reporters: “This... engine

failure has been one that we haven’t seen before.

“So we’re obviously taking this very seriously.”

A spokesman for Airbus said the company was offering technical assistance with the official investigation.

Rolls-Royce is also helping with the probe, as it produced the Qantas engines.

“The investigation is at an early stage. We are aware of the situation and are working with our client,” a spokesman said.

Passenger Ulf Waschbusch told reporters he was sitting over the wing when he heard “a boom sound”.

“I saw a few flares coming out from where the engine was located and saw immediately there was problems,” he said.

Another passenger, Rosemary Hegardy, said she heard two bangs and also saw flames from her window.

“There was flames - yellow flames came out, and debris came off,” the 60-year-old said.

“You could see black things shooting through the smoke, like bits of debris.”

The Airbus superjumbo has been in service since Singapore Airlines took delivery of the first of the A380 planes in late 2007.

The double-decker A380 is the largest passenger plane in the world.

Emirates, the biggest single-customer of Airbus A380, said it had no plans to ground its 13 superjumbos.

Lufthansa also said it would not ground its A380 jets, but it is understood the airline does use Rolls-Royce engines.

Qantas’ safety record is exemplary among major airlines, with no jet fatalities in its 90-year history.

The company’s last deadly crash happened in 1951 when a small Qantas plane plunged into the sea off Papua New Guinea, killing seven people.

Mexico has day of mourning over its drug-war murders

University tuition fee limit rising to £9,000

PEOPLE laid marigolds on the graves of its drugs-war victims, and lit candles on altars as they celebrated the Day of the Dead in Monterrey, Mexico’s richest city.

In cemeteries across the country, families and friends, stunned by the rising violence attributed to Mexico’s battle between drug barons there, burned incense and crowded around graves on Tuesday.

They carried papier-mache skeletons, sweets and tequila in a festival which blends Roman Catholic rituals with the pre-Hispanic belief that the dead return once a year.

But the usuallly- joyous spectacle, so popular with US, tourists turned out to be a rare public showing of anger, tears and frustration in wealthy, conservative Monterrey, where grenade attacks and shoot-outs are killing bystanders.

The industrial city, which has close. ties with America, has become a flashpoint of the cartel war, which has killed more than 30,000 people across Mexico since December 2006, when President Felipe Calderon launched a crackdown.

“It’s like a bad dream and everyone is afraid,” said Chrystel Rangel, a classmate of murdered 21-year-old student Lucila Quintanilla, who was shot by a hitman chasing a prison guard last month.

Monterrey, once lauded as a

model Latin American city for its low crime, universities and growing middle-class, cannot escape the trauma of the violence which has claimed more than 700 victims this year, including elected officials and civilians.

A 34-year-old architect was killed last week by soldiers, who mistook him for a hitman - one of at least five civilian deaths in Monterrey in the past month. And there have been dozens of grenade attacks, including one on a busy public square recently. .The city considered itself immune from the beheadings and shootings in dangerous border towns, but this year’s surge in drug killings is hurting Monterrey’s booming economy.

“It’s time to end this drug war, because all it has done is provoke tragedy and death,” said businessman Ernesto Morales, standing at an altar to civilian dead.

The purple altar in Monterrey’s main square was covered in candles and emotional, hand-written messages to those murdered.

Some activists urged people, via Twitter, to light a candle for the dead and pressure President Calderon to stop the killings. Calderon, who flew to Monterrey last Friday to open two public hospitals and reassure residents, said: “No one said it would be easy.

There are no magic solutions.”

Rooney 'burnt at the stake' on Bonfire Night A GIANT effigy of Wayne Rooney will go up in flames tomorrow (Saturday) night as part of annual bonfire celebrations.

A Kent-based bonfire society has unveiled the 49ft creation complete with green Shrek-style ears mocking the Manchester United star's supposed likeness to the animated ogre.

Up to 15,000 people are expected to turn up for the Edenbridge Bonfire Society's annual parade and display on Saturday.

The steel-framed structure is packed full of fireworks to ensure the footballer goes up with a bang.

Dressed in full kit, the Rooney effigy is clutching a copy of his lucrative new fiveyear contract under one arm

Page 16

and a holdall full of cash in the other.

Charles Laver, of the society, said Rooney was chosen as this year's Guy after hitting the headlines over allegations he slept with two prostitutes while wife Coleen was pregnant with their son Kai. Then his loyalty to Manchester United was thrown into doubt when he suggested he would leave, before going on to sign the new contract with the club.Mr Laver said: "I hate football myself so I'm quite happy to burn a footballer.

"One of our members is a big Man U fan, so he's been advising us on getting all the details of the kit just right."

Past celebrity Guys include Cherie Blair, Gordon Brown and Russell Brand, and last year an effigy of glamour model Katie Price was burnt at the stake.

Universities minister David Willetts announced proposals to raise the tuition fee cap to £6,000, with institutions able to charge up to £9,000 in “exceptional circumstances.”

Students currently pay £3,290 per year in tuition fees.

The decision follows the Browne Review, which recommended a big increase in fees, but it is guaranteed to meet fierce opposition from students and lecturers.

Mr Willetts stressed that no student will be charged upfront, instead paying for their education through graduate contributions.

Under a “progressive” repayment system, university leavers would not need to start making contributions until they are earning at least £21,000, he said.

Under the proposals, students will start repaying their loans at 9% of their income at a real rate of interest when they earn £21,000, up from the current £15,000 threshold Outstanding loans will be written off after 30 years.

There will also be a financial penalty for students who want to pay off their loans early, preventing them from “buying” their way out of the scheme.

The universities minister

also announced a £150m national scholarship scheme which would be targeted at bright potential students from poor backgrounds.

“Under our proposals, a quarter of graduates - those on the lowest incomes - will pay less overall than they do at present,” he said.

Business leaders backed the announcement.

John Cridland, CBI Deputy Director-General said: “With public funding being reduced, the changes made to student contributions will enable universities to recoup some money, but there will be no real winners.

“Faced with very difficult circumstances, a sensible compromise seems to have been reached.”

But the minister’s proposals were hit with a blistering attack from Labour’s Gareth Thomas, who described the

move as a “tragedy for an entire generation of young people”.

“Many students will feel forced to choose the cheapest course, not the one that is best for them,” he warned.

He went on: “Isn’t the truth that what motivates today’s announcement is a massive cut in the funding of universities?”

Mr Thomas said that the plans would fail to protect the UK’s world-class university system and added: “Does he realise how unfair the system will seem to those on middle incomes?”

The National Union of Students has previously called plans to effectively treble tuition fees “dangerous”, warning that there is a risk students will be unable to afford to attend England elite universities.

NUS president Aaron Porter said they would also “saddle a

generation with huge debts before they have even got on their bikes to find work”.

“It’s a simple case of robbing the public to plug a government funding gap.”

Research conducted by the NUS and HSBC has found nearly eight in 10 young people would be put off university if fees were raised to £10,000, while 70% would be deterred by a rise to £7,000.

The change in tuition fees will apply to universities in England only.

Scottish students studying in Scotland do not pay any fees, while in Northern Ireland and Wales fees are charged up to a maximum of £3,290.

The higher education proposals made by former BP boss Lord Browne are politically explosive for the Lib Dems, who pledged not to increase tuition fees in their election manifesto.

Gas-blast residents are allowed back home HUNDREDS of residents can return home after the gas explosion in Salford that flattened four terraced houses and left 15 people injured.

The main police cordon across Silver Street, Irlam, has now been lifted allowing many people to see their homes for the first time since the blast.

Gas safety checks are yet to be completed, but 199 properties have now been deemed structurally sound.

Streets in the area will reopen 20 houses at a time.

Police hope everyone will be back home by the end of the

day. Described as a “massive booming noise”, the explosion happened just after 7am on Tuesday. City West Housing Trust had carried out major work in one of the properties’ kitchen and bathroom.

Among those injured was a 76-year-old woman, named locally as Marie Burns, who

remains in a critical but stable condition in hospital. Five children were also hurt. All the other casualties were treated for minor injuries and released.

Tim Doyle, the chief executive of City West Housing Trust, confirmed the gas supply would have been disconnected and reconnected for a

kitchen re-fit on Monday.

He said: “We regret this incident and are very, very sorry that it happened. We don’t yet know the cause but are very sympathetic to those affected.”

Hot food was delivered to the local Tiger Moth pub for residents spending a second night away from home.

Landlady Eileen McCallion said: “There isn’t any anger but people are waiting to hear what’s happening. I’m happy to open up all day, not to trade, but to give people somewhere to go.”

Residents of 34 properties that have been declared unsafe will be re-homed or offered help with home insurance claims.

Mass murder by deadly bombers across Baghdad AT least 76 people were killed and 360 wounded after 16 bombs exploded throughout Baghdad on Tuesday - many at restaurants and coffee shops full of civilians.

That number will almost certainly keep rising as rescuers comb through the debris in at least ten areas of Iraq’s capital..

The bombings occurred hours after a memorial service for some of the 58 hostages and police killed in a church raid on Sunday, and as the Iraqi government vowed to improve security for Iraq’s Christian minority.

Baghdad security spokesman Maj. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi, said: “Ten cars exploded with bombs inside

them, and there were also four roadside bombs and two sticky bombs.”

The rapid-fire attacks called into question whether Iraqi security forces could protect the capital..

“They murdered us today and on Sunday, they killed our brother, the Christians,” said Hussein al-Saiedi, a 26-yearold resident of the Shiite slum of Sadr City, where 21 people were killed in the most deadly incident of the day.

He was talking to friends on a busy street when the blast occurred. “We were just standing there when we heard a loud noise, and then saw smoke and pieces of cars, falling from the sky,” he said.

“People were fleeing the site in panic, frantically calling the names of their relatives and friends. The government say the situation is under control, but where is their control?”

Iraq remains in political limbo almost eight months after an inconclusive vote, raising fears that insurgents might exploit tension to try to reignite sectarian war.

Tuesday’s attack was the third major assault in Iraq since last Friday.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the co-ordination of the blasts, the complexity of the operation and the predominantly Shiite targets point to alQaida-linked Sunni insurgents.

Earlier on Tuesday, an Iraqi police commander was detained for questioning in connection with the deadly attack on a Catholic church, Our Lady of Salvation, in the capital.

On the same day, hundreds of grieving Christians and other Iraqis packed a funeral service for the dead in a sanctuary not far from the church.

Coronation Street stars given Royal recognition

CORONATION Street stalwarts Barbara Knox and Eileen Derbyshire swapped the Street for the Palace as they were made MBEs by the Queen.

Knox, 77, plays Rita Sullivan in the soap while Derbyshire, 79, was Emily Nugent, later to become Emily Bishop.

The pair have amassed 100 years of combined service between them - Derbyshire first appeared on the show nearly 50 years ago.

After meeting the Queen, Knox said she had heard the show was on the box in the Palace.

“I’m rather led to believe she (the Queen) does watch when she has time and she has visited the Street so she does know about it,” she said.

Derbyshire said she had been overwhelmed to received Royal recognition.

“It’s very overwhelming quite honestly because it’s something I’ve done all my life and loved and suddenly I’ve got an honour,” she said.

“I suppose we do give a service, so many millions love the programme, so there you are - it’s still very surprising.”

Knox said the show’s storylines had been relevant for some 50 years - and that was thanks to the whole cast and crew.

“They are a great team of

05 November 2010 - 11 November 2010

actors and they are portraying marvellous people with great humour,” Knox said.

“We have marvellous storylines, very strong ones, and we have hit a nerve with the nation for almost 50 years and that’s pretty special for a programme to do that.

“Australia, New Zealand, Canada, all these places adore the Street so we must be doing something right.”

Actress Anne Reid, who also starred in Coronation Street, was awarded an MBE during the ceremony.

The 75-year-old played Ken Barlow’s first wife Valerie before she left the long-running soap in the early 1970s to appear in a host of popular prime time shows.

Much ‘worse to come’ as staple food costs soar KITCHEN cupboard staples have jumped in price over the last month, and further hikes are set to come, an industry body is warning.

Bread and baked goods have risen after a 47% jump in the cost of wheat, while a 61% rise in the cost of corn has hit meat prices as animal feed costs soar.

Vegetable oil and margarine showed double-digit price hikes, while fruit showed its biggest price increases since April 2009 following poor harvests and increased transportation costs.

Overall food prices in October were 4.4% higher than a year ago, the highest annual increase since June 2009, according to the British Retail Consortium, which compiled the figures.

The BRC warned that more increases were on the way due to higher VAT in January and because many retailers have been shielding consumers from price hikes.

BRC economist Richard Lim said that some of the commodity price rises were “still in the pipeline”.

“We are probably going to see food price inflation continue to rise for the next few months but we don’t expect

Page 18

it to reach the levels it did in 2008,” he said.

Wheat prices have soared as a result of poor harvests in several countries, including Russia, which banned its export, he added.

Meanwhile, cotton prices have already increased by 90% in the past year, although the average price of clothing and footwear decreased by 1.4% as retailers slashed their profits to attract consumers.

As high street retailer Next released its third quarter trading figures, the firm warned that there was no sign of an end to the bubble in cotton prices and said it expected price tags to rise by close to 8%.

Non-food items rose by 1.1% despite an increase in VAT during the year and the overall inflation rate for goods in shops rose to 2.2%.

Neil Saunders of retail researchers Verdict said consumers could expect to see bargains on the high street in the next two months, but that the New Year could see prices rises.

“Most retailers will be keen to keep a lid on price inflation in the run up to Christmas in order to attract and retain shoppers over the vital trading period,” he said.

“Longer term the picture becomes much more challenging.”

Santander chief switches to rival

LLOYDS Banking Group will appoint Santander’s UK boss, Antonio Horta-Osorio, as chief executive from early next year, Mr Horta-Osorio replaces outgoing chief executive Eric Daniels, who is retiring. The Portugese banker will take on the top post on 1st March, according to the group.

He has been UK chief executive at Spanish banking group Santander since August 2006, overseeing its recent rapid expansion in the UK, when it took over the Bradford & Bingley savings business and Alliance & Leicester.

The appointment came as a surprise to the banking sector because Mr Horta-Osorio

has enjoyed great success in building Santander in the UK. Lloyds will be a different challenge, as the giant bank looks to slim down and sell off branches following the shotgun deal to merge with HBOS in 2009.

David Buik, from stockbroker BGC Partners, said: “He has gained enormous experience putting together Santander’s portfolio in the UK, starting with Abbey National and adding Alliance & Leicester, as well as the deposit base of Bradford & Bingley.

“So he is infinitely qualified to perform the duties as CEO of Lloyds Banking Group. But I never even gave him a passing thought, which had nothing to do with ability or qualification. I just thought he was wedded to Santander.”

Ana Patricia Botin, 50, currently chairwoman of Banco Espanol de Credito SA, or Banesto, which is majorityowned by Banco Santander, is set to take over Mr. HortaOsorio’s Santander role.

Ms. Botin, daughter of Santander chairman Emilio Botin, is widely thought to be his eventual successor, and the new post could help groom her for the top job.

Losing Horta-Osorio to Lloyds, which was partnationalised during the credit crisis, represents a blow to the Spanish bank, which is planning a flotation of its UK division and has been expanding aggressively in Britain.

Portugese Mr Horta-Osorio has become an increasingly high-profile figure in British

banking circles, representing Santander at the Confederation of British Industry’s (CBI) annual conference late last month.

At Lloyds, he will be tasked not only with running the bank’s operations, but coping with a portfolio of billions in toxic loans, many of them inherited from HBOS after the acquisition.

He also inherits a bank which is partially owned by the UK taxpayer, and he will face returning that stake to private hands.

Most analysts and investors had fancied Lloyds to choose its new chief executive from within the group’s directors.

Among the favourites were Helen Weir, current head of Lloyds’ core UK retail banking division, and finance director Tim Tookey.

British Consul will attend special meeting of the European Citizens BRITISH Consul Matthew Vickers, will be in attendance at a special meeting of Ciudadanos Europeos, the European Citizens Group, on Wednesday, 24th November.

The evening, at which representatives of the UK’s Department of Works and Pensions Health and Benefits Team, together with Sarah Rogers, of Age Concern España, will be speaking, starts at 7.30pm at the Cultural Centre, Los Cristianos.

It has been arranged by the organisation to provide information on the health and pension benefits available to UK citizens living in the Canary Islands.

Harry Davies, President of Ciudadanos Europeos, says: “I am delighted that Matthew Vickers is able to attend as it demonstrates the importance of the information that will be provided.

“Many UK citizens have questions about their pension and health benefit entitlements when residing out of the UK and this will be an opportunity for them to get answers to those questions from the DWP. “Age Concern España cares about all older people and provides services for residents who are over 50, and Sarah Rogers will be talking about those services.

“This will be a most interesting meeting and should not be missed by anyone concerned, or has a query about pension or health ben-

Page 20

efits entitlements, or has an age-related matter on which he or she would like helpful information.”

The Ciudadanos Europeos Islas Canararias - European Citizens organisation works to help non-Canarian residents to integrate and participate into the wider Canarian life and culture.

It provides advice on settling-in, living in the Canary Islands, legal matters and new legislation. It is also used as a vehicle for the views and interests of nonCanarian residents to be conveyed to the Canarian Authorities.

Meetings on a variety of subjects are held on the last Wednesday of the month (excluding December) from 7.30pm at the Cultural Centre, Los Cristianos. It also has a programme of social activities.

Further information about the meeting, or the Ciudadanos Europeos European Citizens organisation, can be obtained from Harry Davies on 922 781 905.

Update for Live Arico Friends of Live Arico Members Club (in association with DKV and Tenerife Insurance Services) We are proud to announce a membership scheme which will reap huge benefits for all concerned.

For starters, in association with Tenerife Insurance Services and DKV, we can offer a discount of approximately 30 euros a month, compared with the standard DKV rates, on each Health Policy taken out.

The annual payment to Live Arico is only 25 euros, so an instant saving is made. We are planning to involve other local businesses in the coming weeks, so watch this space.

We need 20 people to join to get the ball rolling, so please call Sue or Debbie on the numbers below to organise your membership card.

If you have an existing health care policy which needs two months cancellation notice, TIS can advise you on this.

Our thanks to …

The Island Pool Bar, Fairways Club, Amarilla Golf, who raise funds for us on a regular basis, by doing football cards. Jenny Endacott’s idea is that when a sizeable amount of money is in the pot they buy sacks of dog food and deliver it to the refuge. We are proud to feature them as sponsors on our 2011 calendar.

Live Arico Shop News (in association with Tenerife Nursing and Care) We are dropping our trousers!

Ladies and gents’ trousers, until the end of the month, will be just two euros for two pairs, so get yours now.

We are on the frontline of Coral Mar, on ground level, right next door to the Coral Bar in Costa del Silencio. We

believe this will make life far easier as cars unloading can park right outside. Also, our elderly and disabled customers will no longer have to negotiate the stairs.

We are grateful for items of furniture as we are working in conjunction with Fish for Furniture, at Los Abrigos, and Idea, in Adeje. Call Rick to arrange pick-ups. Any donations of cat and dog food at the shop are most welcome.

Through popular demand, the shop is now open at the following times: Mon-Fri: 104pm. Sat: 10-2. Sunday: Closed.

The shop will also be open when there’s an event on in Coral Mar Square, Second shop open - a third on its way Our second shop is now open, and a third one is already on its way. The new shop is situated in San Eugenio, opposite La Niña Hotel, near Amanda’s Bar, and we hope to target the tourist market with books, beach items and other holiday essentials.

We still need racking and shelving, however, so please call Debbie on the number below if you can help. We also need volunteers to work in both the new shop and our established one in Silencio.

If you can spare a few hours a week, are reliable, trustworthy and love dogs, then, please call Debbie.

Upcoming events Tonight (Friday, 5th Nov), is Bonfire Night at the refuge. No fireworks, of course, but a Guy Fawkes, parkin (an oatmeal gingerbread traditionally eaten on this occasion), treacle toffee, sparklers and other winter goodies will be on sale. Bring your torches and let’s have a good old traditional night under the stars.

On Sunday, 21st November, we will be launching our 2011 calendars at Amandas Bar, right near our new shop (which will be open), from 2-5pm.

More details to follow next week, but pencil it in. You can be one of the first to own a fantastic calendar, featuring some of Tenerife’s most gorgeous kids with the refuge’s doggies. From cute pups to huge bull mastiffs, great danes, and rottweilers, we’ve got them all!

Wednesday, 1st December, sees us at the Albatross Bar, Costa del Silencio, for a Christmas Fun Day, complete with Santa! Starting from 3pm, we have Paul Lee, Keith Lucas, Jo Harriet, Phil Gibson and Suzy

Q singing, a bouncy castle for the kids, and a real Xmas tree.

Proceeds will be split between ourselves and Cancer Research, and other charities are invited to have a stall or table if they wish.

Lastly, we have our Christmas Gala Night on Saturday, 18th December, at the VIVO club in Playa de Las Americas. Tickets are 25 euros each for a threecourse meal and a half-bottle of wine.

On stage, we will have Mark, from the Wild Boyz, joined by guest artists, and a disco from midnight. We invite companies and businesses who have not yet organised their Christmas Party to come and celebrate it with us. Tickets are limited, so call Suzy Q to reserve yours as soon as possible.

Revised adoption procedures A minimum 50-euro donation for an adopted male dog, and 75 euros for a female, is now required by Live Arico.

This is paid direct to Hospivet Sur on collection of your new pet, which will be chipped, neutered, vaccinated and wormed.

South Tenerife Rescue Centre We have now sold 513sqm of land up to now, making a total of 2,565 euros. The plan to buy our own plot of land remains, possibly even where we are now renting, so are you prepared to buy a square metre of land for Live Arico?

At just five euros, you will receive a certificate from Live Arico for now, and your name, address and number of square metres purchased will be on a Roll of Honour at the new refuge.

Anyone for badminton?

DID you know that there is a badminton club here in the south? Well, there is - and it is thriving, but the organisers would like to enlist some new members.

The Las Zocas Badminton Club, with five indoor courts available, invites residents and holiday-makers alike to enjoy the facilities.

It is based at the Instituto San Miguel, just five minutes from Las Chafiras on the San Miguel road, and members meet on Mondays and Thursdays, from 8-10pm.

Experienced players are preferred, but newcomers to the sport are more than welcome to give it a try.

Rackets are available and transport can even be arranged sometimes.

It looks so simple if you’ve only ever seen badminton on TV, but it is a demanding sport and requires good fitness levels, co-ordination and a keen eye.

Interested? Then contact Tony (659 338 375) or Carol (637 406 685). Otherwise, visit www.tenerifebadminton.in fo for more details, including a map of the area and directions to the club.

Linea Direct now offer qualify home insurance for foreigners in Spain

LÍNEA Directa Aseguradora, market leader in the sale of direct insurance, have launched top-quality home insurance designed exclusively for foreign residents in Spain.

It caters for all their special circumstances and requirements. The policy, an innovative product which covers all the eventualities pertaining to the best multi-risk insurance, will be sold entirely in English.

Línea Directa’s new home insurance for foreign residents contains the best cover on the market at a competitive price. As a result, damage caused by atmospheric phenomena such as wind or rain, garden deterioration, aesthetic damage up to 3,000 euros or family civil liability up to 300,000 euros - among many others - are covered by the policy, which is unique in the insurance market.

The new home insurance policy is supplemented by other services, such as home assistance. It also includes additional services such as telephone medical assistance, medical second opinion or legal assistance, among oth-

Page 38

ers.

According to María Dolores Dancausa, Línea Directa’s CEO: “We are a company who are constantly evolving, and our customers’ satisfaction is our highest priority. We were the first to offer our services entirely in English in order to facilitate the process of making contact with our English-speaking customers residing in Spain.

“Now, in a further attempt to improve the quality of our service and attend to all their personal requirements, we have designed a home insurance policy to suit their every need.”

As in 1996 with car insurance, Línea Directa’s International Department will use English to attend to all their foreign customers purchasing the new home insurance policy.

Taking out the policy, making enquiries, presenting claims and sending documentation will be carried out entirely in the customers’ language, at a time which is convenient for them, and with just one phone call.

Línea Directa Aseguradora, 100% owned by Bankinter, are the fifth-largest motor insurer in Spain, and specialise in the direct sale of car motorbike, company fleet and home insurance.

Savings accounts that glitter aren’t always so golden BANKS AND building societies are hoodwinking savers by calling accounts that pay pitifully low interest names such as ‘liquid gold’, ‘diamond reserve’ and ‘incentive saver’, according to new research by Which?

The consumer champion has compiled a list of the ten most misleading savings product titles, all offering 0.15% interest or less.

Savers could be forgiven for assuming that Newcastle

Building Society’s High / Extra High Interest Account would be a profitable place to keep their savings.

However the reality is that they pay 0.01% interest, an annual return of 10 pence for every £1,000 saved.

And the bigger banks don’t fair much better: Lloyds TSB’s Incentive Saver account offers just 0.04%; Barclays’ Reward Saver pays out 0.10%; and NatWest’s Diamond Reserve offers 0.10%.

Many of the products have names which denote wealth.

The Halifax, Derbyshire Building Society and Northern Bank all have savings products which mention

gold, although they all pay 0.10% or less.

This week Which? revealed that savers are missing out on £12 billion a year because banks and building societies are keeping us in the dark about miserly interest rates.

The consumer champion found that almost half of the 1,200 plus savings accounts available in the UK pay 0.5% interest or less and one in four pays 0.1% or less.

People can take action now and could add hundreds of pounds a year to their savings in just a few minutes.

Using Which?’s unique Savings Booster – www.which.co.uk/savings-

booster - savers can instantly see what interest their account is paying, if a better rate is available elsewhere and start moving their money.

Which? chief executive, Peter Vicary-Smith, says: “This is proof that all that glitters isn’t gold. It’s just ludicrous that a company can call a product ‘extra high interest’ when, in reality, it only pays out 0.01%. Surely it’s time for banks and building societies to clean up their act and ensure that their products do what they say on the tin.”

On reflection, use vinegar THERE’S nothing worse than a grubby mirror in the bathroom, bedroom or anywhere for that matter.

But a clean mirror does not necessarily require the use of a commercial cleaner. There are a number of easier items you can use, which are environmentallyfriendly and often cheaper.

White vinegar works wonders against mold and mildew stains.

Simply, pour some white vinegar in a spray bottle and cover the stain.

Allow it to work for a few minutes, then, rub it in firmly with a soft cloth for a minute or so to get to the very core of the stain more effectively.

Another method is to employ a few drops of lemon extract, mixed with some warm water.

This usually does the trick as well, and will remove most stains or smears. Just apply on to the mirror with a soft sponge or cloth and rub for a few seconds.

Some cleaning products are considered to be eco-friendly since they are manufactured by using ingredients which are not harmful to the environment. If you prefer to use a commercial cleaner, do read the label to check the constituents of the product, and whether it is eco-friendly.

Also, apply any cleaning liquids or cream with reusable cloths and not disposable paper napkins if you want to continue the “green” theme.

DAVID HUDGELL Getting to the root of your gardening problems!

Email: David.hudgell@canarianweekly.com

Creature comforts Garden secrets not worth the cash THIS WEEK, Alan Titchmarsh presents a stunning series that reveals the amazing secrets behind Britain’s great gardens, examining how they continue to influence gardeners, including himself, today.

In the first episode, Alan visits Hatfield House in Hertfordshire to look at the key design features of the gardens of this 17th-century stately home.

This was a time when horticulture and architecture worked seamlessly together and Hatfield reflects this new love of the aesthetic.

Alan examines the famous parterres which are some of the first examples of Britain’s affection for formal gardening, and shows how the parterre has been brought into the 21st century by designer Tom Stuart-Smith

with his designs at Broughton Grange in Oxfordshire.

Alan also looks at the use of perspective, which at Hatfield makes the driveways seem bigger and changes how the garden is seen from different points of view.

He look at a French import, espaliers, that have been used to stunning effect in Hatfield and show how these have changed the way we contort trees in our garden, including his own tip on stepover apple trees.

Plus, he reveals how our affection for topiary began in gardens such as this where they were originally seen as architectural forms, complementing the design of the house.

Alan shows in his own garden that you don’t need to plant hedges to achieve this, creating a portable sedum cube.

Tuesday 9th November, BBC Two, 8pm.

Read all about those weeds!

ANIMAL FRIENDLY gardeners may be wasting money on ineffective and unnecessary shop-bought homes for wildlife, warns Which? Gardening.

In the year long trial by the consumer champion, not a single butterfly was seen to use the Gardman Butterfly Haven (£14.99), no lacewings were seen visiting the Chapelwood Lacewing Chamber (£22.95) and just one ladybird was seen checking into the Crocus Ladybird Hotel (£9.99).

The Hoggy Home (£69 from Wiggy Wigglers) was deemed expensive and unnecessary by the Which?

Gardening wildlife expert.

According to the Hedgehog Preservation Society, hedge-

hogs should be able to build their own shelters as long as there is a supply of nesting materials, such as leaves, grass and straw and a suitable place to nest.

Not only was the Wildlife World Bumble Bee Nester (£26.99) unpopular with bees – not a single bee was seen visiting the nests - but the instructions given also alarmed the wildlife expert.

The manufacturer recommends capturing a queen bee in early spring and trapping it inside the Bumble Bee Nester for a couple of days.

Taking wildlife hostage is not something wildlife experts would encourage.

A home-made solitary bee nest costing next to nothing to make proved more successful than a shop-bought version in the year-long Which? Gardening trial.

05 November 2010 - 11 November 2010

Ceri Thomas, editor of Which? Gardening, says: “Gardens are extremely important to wildlife, and many gardeners enjoy observing the many creatures that visit them over the year.

“But there are many other ways to attract wildlife in to your garden, and people shouldn’t be fooled into thinking that these attractive shop-bought abodes are worth the price tags they come with.”

Which? Gardening recommends the following to attract wildlife into the garden: Build a log pile. This will attract insects and hedgehogs looking for a place to nest.

Start a compost heap.

Birds, hedgehogs and toads will feed on the mini beasts

which congregate in the heap. Use hedges instead of fences. Hedges provide shelter and nesting sites for wildlife. Plants with berries and flowers also provide food.

Be untidy. Piles of leaves and plant debris are valuable nesting material for wildlife.

Leave deadheading until spring.

Plant nectar-rich flowers such as honeysuckle, lavender, marigolds and buddleia.

Allow nettles and weeds to take over a corner of your garden, insects love them.

Make a rockery. Toads, newts and some frogs overwinter on land under rocks.

Dig a pond. Water attracts many different creatures.

Choose a sunny spot and make at least one side a gentle slope to give wildlife easy access.

ONE of the most frustrating things about gardening is the appearance of weeds.

If your flowers and plants are thriving, chances are the weeds are as well.

So what can you do to get rid of these pesky problems? One idea to discourage weed growth is the newspaper method. Lay newspapers down as a ground cover and then spread mulch or topsoil on top.

The good thing about newspaper is that it is cheap (well, not so cheap over here, admittedly) and completely biodegradable. Newspaper is also easier to plant in. It rips easily, and so it is easy to form small holes to place your flowers in.

You can also buy landscape cover at any nursery

or major department store.

The landscape cover works well also, but it can be a bit of a pain to cut holes in which to plant your flowers.

But the obvious step towards a weed-free garden is to get rid of any existing ones by pulling them out by the roots.

Do this as early in the season as possible because it is easier to pull up seedlings than to pull full-grown weeds. Watering the ground first may make the process easier.

Once the weed is pulled, dispose of it. Do not leave it lying on the ground to release seeds that will cause more weeds to grow.

Once the weeds are removed from your garden, cover it with mulch. This will provide ground cover and discourage weeds from growing. A good mulch can be a combination of wood chips, garden compost or straw.

CARL PATTISON from Robot, answers your hair questions

DEAR CHRISTINE Your resident Agony Aunt Email: agony.aunt@canarianweekly.com

Email: carl.pattison@canarianweekly.com

Where’s your X Factor?

AFTER saying I would not join the millions watching the yearly X Factor programme, I can honestly say I’m totally hooked! (What’s this got to do with hairdressing, you may ask?).

The contestants are firstclass, the production like a Hollywood film and the whole event is top-class- Yet there’s one thing I just can’t get over - something that reminds me of how things used to be years ago (God, I sound old), and that’s the STYLING! Everyone of the contestants is groomed, from makeup to wardrobe, and each singer’s styling is phenomenal. As a stylist, of course, one thing jumps out at me, and that’s the standard of hairdressing. Even Dannii and Cheryl have a friendly “Hair War” every week.

This is what I mean about matching your look from top to toe. If there were a hair Oscar, Dannii Minogue would it win hands-down because, twice a week, something new is created for her.

And from what? A basic bob, so hat’s off to her stylist who must, I’m sure, struggle, yet always pulls it off to find something new for her hair so regularly.

The contestants have really shown me that there are people out there who do take a pride in what they do with their hair. Even the guys have let their stylists loose and given them free rein.

Page 40

I watch twice a week, not only because it’s a great show but to gain inspiration from like-minded creative people.

So I can hear you asking: “What’s this got to do with my hair regime?” I can hear you saying: “Carls totally lost it now.” Well, maybe I have but it’s all in a good cause.

Just as those ordinary people are transformed into “superstars”, think about what goes into creating their images. They have a huge team of stylists to look after them and guide them into what looks best, not only clothing-wise but hair as well.

That’s what we as stylists do best, and that’s what you as customers should take advantage of.

Out of work, I’m a shy, sitin-a-corner guy, but at work you can’t shut me up. Nearly all stylists I’ve met are the same - bursting with ideas and inspiration, but sometimes lacking in the clientele who are willing to experiment.

The one thing that disappoints me and other stylists I’ve talked to here in Tenerife is that we don’t get to show what we can really do.

I’ve seen so many return to their home countries

through this lack of ability to show what they are really capable of as hairdressers.

So the next time your stylist suggests something more than a trim, or wants to do more than give you a regular blow-dry for a night out, take a chance and let them show you what they can really do.

You don’t have to give them free rein; simply let them suggest, advise and guide you towards something a little more adventurous.

The stylists of X Factor have literally taken people from the street and transformed them into fashion icons from top to toe. Think about it, because if it’s possible for them, then it could be done to you, too.

I’m not suggesting that everyone here needs an image makeover. It’s just that sometimes we all get stuck in a rut and need a gentle kick up the rear.

So the next time you watch X Factor (don’t tell me you don’t), look at what I’m looking at. Take note of how anyone given the right advice and know-how can be taken from dull and drab to WOW! with a little trip to your favourite salon.

Dear Christine, Earlier this year, my husband and I sold our business and retired here to Tenerife. We’re enjoying the warmth and relaxed lifestyle, but my husband behaves as if he’s on one long holiday, spending money like there’s no tomorrow.

He insists that we rent sunbeds when we go to the beach; he likes to eat out twice a day and wants to go to bars every night. Our money is fast running out, yet we’re still a few years from collecting our retirement pensions.

How can I make him understand that we’re not on holiday?

I don’t want us to have to find jobs.

Lady Blueskies

sun mattresses to take to the beach. They are light enough to carry, or will go in the car boot.

Regarding his liking for bars in an evening, how about negotiating that you still go out regularly, but have no more than 2-3 drinks?

Perhaps you could agree to stay in every other night, but have a few games of cards/ scrabble/dominoes on the balcony/terrace, for example, instead of just watching the telly. You could even buy a few bottles of cheap wine and invite friends around for a games evening.

I wish you a happy and less expensive future in ‘blue sky’ Tenerife.

Christine

Dear Lady Blueskies, It’s a shame your husband can’t seem to get out of the holiday mode. How about calmly showing him a breakdown of your present income and expenditure? Project with honesty how long it will take before your money runs out, and make it clear that you’ll both need to find jobs at this point.

You could even start a matter-of-fact discussion about what type of job he could get: doing PR work, washing up in a restaurant or cleaning apartments, perhaps.

Remind him gently that there are very few decent jobs available for non-Spanish speakers and, unfortunately, the older person finds it particularly hard to find work. At this point, hopefully, he will start listening and agree to make a few cut-backs.

Try not to be too brutal with your propositions, though. For example, if you can still afford to eat out a couple of evenings a week and have one or two days out at another resort, you can plan for that.

You might also buy padded

Dear Christine, I’m 70 years old and in good health, but I feel lost, lonely and depressed. My wife came out here with me when we retired, but she couldn’t settle. We argued a lot and eventually, she moved back to the UK. We were supposed to stay friends, but she soon got a man friend and has no time for me now. We never had children, and I have no other close family. I spend my days drinking in the same old bar with the same lonely old souls and I feel like I’m dying inside. Can you suggest anything, please, to make my life less miserable?

LG

Dear LG, I’m sorry to hear that you’re feeling so lonely and unhappy.

Pulling yourself out of the ‘pit’ you’ve fallen into is going to take real effort, but I hope you can, with a little help.

First of all, you should really tell your doctor that you’re feeling depressed. A short course of anti-depressants will help to give you the strength

of mind you’ll need to find more enjoyable things to do with your time.

Here are some ideas for starting a brighter and more satisfying way of life: go for a walk every day, for at least an hour - the scenery in Tenerife has a wonderful diversity and it’s a shame that you’re not seeing it.

How about going for a swim, too, in the sea or in your nearest swimming pool? Exercise of any kind is beneficial to health and lifts your mood, flooding your body with feel-good endorphins.

The El Tejar bar/café in the Apolo Centre, near the bus station in Los Cristianos, hosts a meeting for British ex-pats and ‘swallows’ (people who fly south for the winter) every Monday at 11am, so why not go along? You are sure to make new friends there, and join them in outings to different resorts, restaurants and so on.

In addition, there are social gatherings at the South Tenerife Christian Fellowship, also in the Apolo Centre - ring the Pastor, or Lorraine McBride, on 922 729 907 to find out which times would be best for you to attend.

Also, the Canarian Weekly website is full of information about star-gazing groups, walking groups and many more things, or you could join a Spanish class where you’re sure to meet new people.

Don’t forget, too, that the Lions Club charity is always looking for volunteers, and I hear the social life of the club is very good.

So, LG, it’s over to you. You are the ‘master of your own destiny’ and only you can give yourself the push you need to change your life for the better.

I do wish you all the very best.

Christine

VAL SAINSBURY Keeping her finger on the pulse Email: val.sainsbury@canarianweekly.com

Livers grown in lab Keep fit, and might one day be keep on top available to humans MINIATURE human livers have been grown successfully in a laboratory, taking a leap forward towards creating “bespoke” organs for patients.

Previously, the same bioengineering success by scientists had been achieved only with rat cells.

This new research raises the prospect of growing livers which can be transplanted

into patients, or used to test the safety of experimental drugs.

Professor Mark Thursz, consultant hepatologist at St Mary’s Hospital, London, and spokesman for the British Liver Trust, said: “There is no doubt that this is a major breakthrough for patients with hepatitis C.” A team of US scientists created the organs by sowing seeds of human cells on to collagen “scaffolds”, derived from animal livers.

The collagen, left behind

after removing all the animal cells with detergent, gave the livers their shape and structure.

The original cells were then replaced with immature human liver cells, and the vital endothelial cells that line the walls of blood vessels.

After a week of being nourished with nutrients and oxygen in a laboratory “bioreactor”, the livers were seen to be growing and functioning like a human organ.

The next step is to see if the organs will continue to func-

tion after they have been transplanted into animals.

Only then will it be possible even to consider their use in humans.

Project director Professor Shay Soker, from the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine in North Carolina, said: “We are excited about the possibilities this research represents.

“But we must stress that we are at an early stage, and many technical hurdles must be overcome before it could benefit patients.”

Cheers! Let’s raise a glass to new WeightWatchers system WEIGHTWATCHERS are introducing a revamped plan which will surely delight customers, old and new.

The internationallyrenowned diet company are discarding their regular fat and calorie-based points system in favour of a new plan that allows alcohol and the odd fast-food binge.

Officials are adopting the new “ProPoints” system because, according to The Grocer magazine, they say: “Science has moved on and the previous style of caloriecounting has been proven to be inaccurate and outdated.”

The new formula, announced on Monday, will focus on the amounts and types of protein, carbohydrate, fibre and fat in food.

And the old calorie-based

point system has been recalibrated to factor in the energy used in chewing and digesting the food.

As an additional bonus, followers will for the first time be granted extra “real living” points, so they can treat themselves to their favourite drink and fast-foods, while all fruit and most vegetables will carry zero points.

Dieters will be allowed a typ-

05 November 2010 - 11 November 2010

ical daily allowance of up to 29 of the recalculated ProPoints, compared with 18 points previously, plus the weekly bonus of 49 “real living” points.

A gin and low-calorie tonic will account for two ProPoints, while a pint of lager adds six points and a Big Mac 12 points.

WeightWatchers’ spokesman Chris Stirk told The

Grocer that the changes to the 15-year-old system would help consumers lose weight while living in the real world.

He denied the changes were an admission that the old system was flawed, but admitted it had needed updating to keep pace with the latest, scientific thinking.

Mr Stirk added: “Points have been phenomenally successful, but science has moved on.

We have learned so much more about how we metabolise the food we eat, and how we can give people the best programme for sustainable weight-loss success.”

WeightWatchers dietician Zoe Hellman said: “We’ve taken all the best nutritional science from around the globe and distilled it down into one simple, easyto-follow plan to give healthy, sustainable weightloss for life.”

SCIENTISTS have confirmed that people who take regular exercise are less likely to be depressed than those who don’t.

But they also found that to be of any benefit, their activities must be undertaken during leisure time.

People who exert themselves at work, for instance, by digging up roads or heavy lifting, were no less likely to suffer from depression than those in sedentary desk jobs.

Researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London, teamed up with colleagues in Norway to carry out the study of over 40,000 Norwegian residents.

Participants were asked how often they engaged in both light and intense physical activity during their leisure time, and how physicallyactive they were at work.

The study found that individuals who took part in regular physical activity, however mild or intense, were less likely to have symptoms of depression. However, this held true only when activity was

part of leisure. Those who were not active in their leisure time were almost twice as likely to suffer symptoms of depression as the most-active individuals.

The findings are published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, and lead researcher Dr Samuel Harvey said: “The social benefits associated with exercise, like increased numbers of friends and social support, are more important in understanding how exercise may be linked to improved mental health, than any biological markers of fitness.

“This may explain why leisure activity appears to have benefits not seen with physical activity undertaken as part of a working day.”

London’s Savoy re-opens THE PRINCE of Wales reminisced about cocktails and lunches at the Savoy Hotel as he officially opened the iconic establishment after a multimillion pound refurbishment.

Charles was given a guided tour of the building’s sumptuously decorated public spaces and private dining rooms that were part of a £220 million refit.

The hotel has been a byword for style and sophistication for much of its 121year history attracting the famous, the infamous and royalty from across the globe.

In the Beaufort bar, designed with a black and gold colour scheme and decorated with £38,000 worth of gold leaf, Charles chatted to bar staff about one of his favourite drinks. The drinking spot is sited on the hotel’s old cabaret stage where jazz composer George Gershwin gave the British premiere of his piece Rhapsody In Blue.

The heir to the throne revealed how he enjoyed a cocktail - aptly named the

Prince of Wales - made with “strawberries and champagne” saying it was “absolutely fantastic”. The drink was created by Joe Gilmore, former head barman of the Savoy’s famous American Bar, to mark the investiture of Charles as the Prince of Wales with the full recipe also containing lemon, cherry brandy and a teaspoon of sugar.

During the visit the prince was shown the Spanish mahogany wall panels and the plaster frieze titled An Idyll Of A Golden Age by Bertrand Pegram that decorate the foyer. The number of rooms at the hotel has been increased slightly to 268 but there is a new royal suite running almost the length of the fifth floor with views of the River Thames costing £10,000 a night. Actor and comic Stephen Fry was the first guest welcomed to the hotel last month.

The Savoy was closed for almost three years from December 2007 while it underwent the major facelift, which involved structural upgrades and behind-thescenes work, as well as plush interiors in the Edwardian and Art Deco styles of the hotel.

Originally scheduled to be finished in early 2009, the project ended up being delayed by 18 months and costing more than double its estimated £100 million budget.

Tony Cortegaca, 50, one of a number of doorman at the Savoy said his job was one of the easiest in the world. He added: “I’ve been working here 20 years in that time we’ve had a lot of famous people from Frank Sinatra to Pavarotti and Richard Harris, who would sometimes ask if I would go for a beer with him.

We’ve even had Take That here recently, anyone who’s anyone has been here.”

The prince was joined during his tour by Prince Alwaleed, a member of the Saudi royal family, whose company Kingdom Holding owns 50% of the hotel, while Lloyds Banking Group owns the remaining percentage.

The Prince’s Trust charity, established by Charles, will be working with the hotel, which will provide work placements for disadvantaged youngsters.

During a short speech the heir to the throne praised the “Attention to detail by designers... and craftsmen which so brilliantly brought this hotel back to life. “All I can say is my darling grandmother, were she alive, would be so pleased.

She used to come here for little luncheons and dinners. In the days when I used to go to hotels, more regularly than I do now, I used to come here.”

Source AP Savoy Grill According to the Caterer, after all the negativity surrounding Gordon Ramsay there’s finally a bit of good news.

Gordon Ramsay Holdings is re-launching the Savoy Grill on A TV competition has been launched as part of drive to get the public eating more potatoes.

The Potato Council is launching a Master Spud competition, in which consumers will get the chance to star in a one-off TV advertisement to run in June 2011.

The competition is part of the Many Faces of Potatoes campaign for the generic

A spokeswoman for the company said that on the first day of the booking lines

Potato Council head of marketing and corporate affairs Caroline Evans added: “The Many Faces of Potatoes campaign looks to educate and inspire consumers through the stories of people who currently cook, grow or love potatoes.

“Five people will get the chance to tell their story in our one-off TV ad, which will then be used on the internet. The additional EU investment has opened up a range of promotional options, which will help us teach young consumers and encourage them to eat potatoes.”

A shortlist of people will then be selected to take part in live, regional auditions before being put to a public vote to choose the winner and future TV star.

4 Puzzle Rating: Very Hard

Scorpio (October 24th-November 22nd) Life has not been what you had expected it to be like recently. Now though, you are far more broad-minded, so you’ll see that with certain hardships came valuable lessons. As for the missing finances you have been wondering about, all will be revealed!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd-Dec 21st) Your family want only what’s best for you. If they didn’t, then they wouldn’t interfere. You have not been confident about what you want, and they have been worried, so don’t ignore them. Talk to them and you’ll win them back to your side. Also, your current, horrible setbacks will soon be a thing of the past CAPRICORN (Dec 22nd-Jan 20th) Try not to cast judgement on new characters too soon, or you could be the one who ends up with egg on your face, when your first impressions turn out to be far from the truth. Foreign lands and names are lucky for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21st-Feb 9th) You are very clever with the amount of work you have been able to complete. There is still a lot on your agenda, but do try to give yourself some sort of a break or you will not be able to enjoy the rewards that come with such efforts.

PISCES (Feb 20thMarch 20th) Pay attention, because you can-

not afford to miss out on what the stars are planning for you. Don’t decline last-minute invitations as one of them could just deliver your birthday and Christmas all at once, especially if Geminis or Aquarians are involved.

ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) You have had an awful lot of stress in your life of late, but the events that transpire over the coming days should prove to you how worthwhile the sacrifices and efforts you have made really were. There are some great times ahead for you as a result of your deeds.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st) Certain family members have made it their business to tell you what to do recently, and some of you Taureans have even allowed yourself to be bullied. Not any more, though, because you are striking out for independence. And it’s about time, too, as you well know.

GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) Your mind is trying to push your body into doing things that may not really be to your longterm advantage. Deep down inside you know, don’t you, especially when

05 November 2010 - 11 November 2010

you get round to putting your sensible head back on. And you also know where your priorities should lie.

CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) Aspects suggest that you feel you’re being used.

Only if you want to be, is the answer to that question, though. Stand tall and set up standards for yourself.

This has to be the beginning of a new regime in which you build your confidence.

LEO (July 24thAug 23rd) Much can be gained by sticking to arrangements you have already made for the week ahead, when several important faces will be out to fill you in on some missing blanks, which will transpire to be so important. But you may have to tell a white lie to friends.

VIRGO (Aug 24thSept 23rd) Your need to know that what is going on in the lives of others is getting in the way of your own life. Or could it be that you are scared of admitting how you really feel? It really is worth standing up for what and whom you want.

LIBRA (Sept 24thOct 23rd) Your family prove trying and you may have to fall out with a close one in order to maintain your freedom. Cancerians link to the best fun and the best kind of romance as well and you may discover which sign can offer you the real deal this month. That will include getting rid of an undesirable acquaintance.

Ryanair profits are up for an investigation into Ryanair to consider the possible contradiction between EU and Spanish law.

Ryanair is sticking to the EU rule, saying: “All workers on the planes of Ryanair are

RYANAIR has just increased its earnings forecast as higher ticket prices and a growing market share helped its half-year pre-tax profits rise to £447 million.

The budget airline’s traffic grew by 10% to 40.1m passengers from the same time last year, while average fares rose by 12% in the six months to 30th September.

These half-year figures were boosted by a 22% jump in ancillary revenues from baggage fees, onboard drinks and snacks, plus priority boarding charges.

Ryanair’s strong performance enabled the company to pay out a one-off dividend of £435m to shareholders last month.

Chief Executive Michael O’Leary said. “We’ve had a very good six months, but it’s much the same trend as before. Like a lot of other industries, such as supermarkets and home-furnishing stores, if you’re the price leader, you do very well in a recession.”

defined as workers in Irish territory.” The airline says they work with Irish contracts, are paid in Ireland, and pay their income tax, social security and pensions contributions in Ireland.

Simply the best - in 2011 travel He added: “People don’t stop flying. They just stop flying with the high-fare guys.”

As well as gaining passengers, the budget airline claimed another market victory by overtaking Iberia this summer as the largest passenger carrier at Spanish airports.

The company has reported good performances with its new routes and bases in Faro, Malta and Malaga. And new bases at Valencia and Seville will open this month to strengthen further the company’s presence in Spain.

Despite this strong performance, the company remains cautious for the rest of the fiscal year, although

the cost of the volcanic ash disruption in April was revised, down to £26m from earlier estimates of £43m.

But there is a cloud hanging over the airline because COPAC (the Official College of Commercial Aviation Pilots in Spain) has questioned whether Ryanair and its staff are meeting their tax obligations in Spain.

The Irish company says the allegations are false, after being denounced to the Spanish Work Inspection Authority for “not paying or contributing” in Spanish territory, despite operating fixed bases there.

Ryanair responded, saying that both the company and

its crew “are listed and pay taxes and social security, as required by European legislation”, and clearly meet the EU norms regarding workers in air transport.

COPEC accepted that under community law, “professionals who work between several EU countries can pay taxes in the country of origin of the company, in this case Ireland”.

But they also noted that under the law regarding income tax on individuals, “all people who remain in Spain for more than 183 days will be considered as contributors, and will have to meet their tax obligations in Spain”.

It has led to COPEC calling

The million-pound monster!

THE Italian hypercar specialist Pagani unwrapped their incredible £1.3 million

Zonda Cinque at London’s MPH show in Earls Court yesterday (Thursday).

Uncovered. . . what the Europe Jetta-set can get to grips with

VOLKSWAGEN’S new European-spec Jetta saloon has been revealed in Germany, and on the surface there is little difference from the US version.

The cosmetic alterations of the car, launched earlier this year, are described by VW as “subtle”, and the real changes are underneath.

That’s where European models get their own distinct engine line-up, and a more sophisticated suspension system.

While US Jettas make do with a simple torsion beam, rear suspension set-up, European buyers get a fourlink system similar to one seen in the Golf.

The system also differs from the one used in the outgoing Jetta, with the car now sporting a wider rear rack and revised springs and dampers.

It also has an electro-mechanical steering system as standard.

European buyers can choose from a range of VW’s TSI and TDI engines. Petrol units include 104bhp 1.2 TSI and 120bhp 1.4 TSI options, while the diesels are a 104bhp 1.6 TDI and a 2.0 TDI with

It was the first appearance of the car in the UK and is only one of five in existence.

It is also the final model to leave Pagani’s factory.

Power comes from a monstrous 678bhp MercedesBenz AMG V12 engine, which makes the car capable of 217mph - and 0-62mph in only 3.4secs.

Changes over and above the standard Zonda (which is extreme enough as it is) include a stronger chassis, made from the unique carbon-titanium, a redesigned exhaust and a number of carbon-fibre air intakes and

fins all over the body. The bad news for would-be buyers is that all five of the street-legal machines are already sold, so put your money away!

It is the first Pagani car to be equipped with sequential gearbox manageable with paddles behind the steering and with the traditional gear stick on central tunnel.

It is also the first Zonda to use carbon-titanium, a special fibre created for the Zonda Cinque, which will be eventually used on the newgeneration models.

This monster has 678 hp, 780 Nm torque, and the forged monolock titanium wheels, bolts and nuts will be done fully in titanium, boasting the Pagani logo.

The interiors are refined and, at the same time, reveal the sporting attitude of this car: racing leather seats developed

by Toora, four-point seatbelts and molibden steel roll-bars with carbon-fibre coating.

Suspensions and springs will be in ergal and titanium, developed with the latest technology from Öhlins, in

accordance with the Pagani specifications.

There are four different settings, each with ten adjustments to separate high and low frequencies, both in compression and extension. And new rear air extractors will improve the downforce up to 750kg at 300km.

The MPH show is on until Sunday and will then move to the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham from November 11-14th. So catch this incredible monster if you can - while it is standing still!

either 138bhp or 168bhp. A range of manual and DSG gearboxes are also on offer.

While the Passat-inspired exterior changes are limited, inside European buyers will get higher-quality materials and trims. Three trim levels, S, SE and Sport, will be offered in the UK, and standard kit will include six airbags and ESP. The UK’s best-selling model is expected to be the entrylevel diesel engine in S trim, which should account for more than 25% of the Jetta’s projected annual sales of 3,800 units from 2012.

This model will also wear the firm’s Bluemotion Technology eco badge, meaning it will include stop-start and an energy recuperation system as standard. Economy for this model will be 68mpg, while CO2 emissions are rated at 109g/km.

The cleanest petrol model will be the entry-level 1.2 TSI with 53.2mpg and 123g/km of CO2.

This new Jetta will be built at VW’s Puebla plant in Mexico, which is also the production base for the firm’s next Beetle.

The UK sales will start during the first three months of next year, and prices are expected to start from around £17,000.

Debut boy inspires first win CD Tenerife 1 Elche 0 PHEW! Tenerife finally got a win on the board, and the relief was there for all to see on an emotional Sunday in the Heliodoro.

“It feels like we have just won the Champions League!” was how midfielder Dani Kome summed it up. “It’s a really great feeling and we deserved to win that match.

I hope this is the start of a winning run for us.”

Let’s hope so, as Tenerife have some rather favourable fixtures coming up.

This will not go down as one of the finest wins of the last decade, or even as a memorable match. But it could be seen as the point where the season began for Tenerife.

It is now three games undefeated, a clean sheet and there is finally a side below us in the table.

It was a nervy win, which owed more to perseverance than quality. And a win that saw a new star shine in the Tenerife sky In recent seasons, Iriome and Omar have burst on to the scene, but Venezuelan kid Josmar could be the best of the lot. He made his full debut against Elche and he was magnificent.

There were no nerves at all as he caused the experienced Elche defence all the problems in the world.

Playing off Nino in a similar role to Alfaro did last season he made a stunning start.

Collecting the ball with his back to goal, he turned Etxeita inside out and shimmied past Ripa before Pelegrin’s saving tackle found

Page 46

touch. It was due warning of what was to follow.

Single-handedly, he inspired the crowd, and while Tenerife were never really on top, they had the outlet to frighten the visitors.

Both sides had their halfchances, and Wakaso was giving Marc Betran a tough afternoon with his bursts down the flank for Elche.

But Tenerife looked comfortable and finished strongly, with Nino and the lively Dani Kome creating good chances just before the break.

The interval gave Tenerife coach Mandia a chance to fire up the troops, and his boys flew out of the traps.

Josmar and Alvarez had efforts before the young-

ster took a knock. Wisely, he was brought straight off to a standing ovation.

This gave Elche a bit more spirit. They moved from just one man up front to two and then three. With Tenerife’s main outlet in the stands, they fancied three rather than one point.

David Sanchez was pulling the strings in midfield, and ex-Tenerife striker Angel had the bit between his teeth. He forced a couple of fine saves from Aragonseses, one a 30yard rasper that was just tipped over the bar.

Sensing the tide was turning, Mandia made a few slight changes that looked strange at the time. He brought off the excellent Kome and the solid Alvarez,

to be replaced by Omar and the woeful Natalio. As I mentioned during the commentary on Oasis Fm, I’m no fan of Natalio. He is too much of a pretty player. He doesn’t seem to put the extra effort in for me. His touch is poor …

I could continue.

But on this occasion, I was delighted to be wrong because the boy done good!

He came on and looked on a mission. It took him just three minutes to deliver.

Nino and Juanlu worked hard down the Tenerife right and carved out a chance for Natalio to smash home from the edge of the area.

“I just had to hit it as it sat up so nicely.” he said. “I had to take my shirt off and wave it as it just meant so

much to everyone.”

He certainly summed up the feeling in the stadium.

Elche were devastated and finished. Their body language showed they were as

good as on the plane, and Tenerife saw out the final ten minutes with ease.

Canarian Weekly ratings: Tenerife: Aragoneses 7, Marc Bertrán 6, Ezequiel Luna 9, David Prieto 8, Beranger 6, Kome 7 (Omar 64min 6), Ricardo 6, Mikel Alonso 7, Julio Álvarez 7 (Natalio 76min 7); Josmar 8 (Juanlu 54min 6), Nino 6.

Elche: Willy Caballero 7, Carpio 7, Etxeita 6, Pelegrín 8, Ripa 7, Generelo 7 (Ángel, 52min 6), Acciari 6, David Sánchez 7 (Santos 81min), Wakaso 7, Palanca 6 (Bodipó 67min5), Linares 6.

This Sunday, Tenerife look to win back-to-back matches for the first time this year. Nastic are the visitors, and they should be cannon-fodder.

Like Tenerife, they have picked up after a horror start, but they are a team in steep decline. It’s easy to forget that they were in La Liga a few years back. All the big names have left, though, and they are in financial turmoil off the park.

They are tight enough at the back, but lack pace and that touch of quality in midfield. With Tenerife’s confidence growing they should have too much for the visitors. And all eyes will be on Josmar!

SUMMERLANDS Superstars are starting to click into top gear in Division One of the Oasis Fm Pool League. They made it win No13 last Tuesday, and that was unlucky for Atlantis Sharks.

The Los Cristianos crew were in fine form and, without Apu, they still won every leg. They head the table on legs won from Palms A, who stayed with the pace although not at their best against Nauta A. Tenerife Hammers A remain third after a fine 82 win at La Caña, despite another loss for Jambo.

Halloween no time for Heroes THE Halloween weekend matches produced a scary result for Harry and his Heroes, and maybe a certain Damien was playing!

Anyhow, they slipped back into the jaws of relegation after a 6-2 loss at Toscales, boss-man Bob hitting his first maximum of the season in the first leg against Jayne, who then replied with her first as well.

Target B took full advantage of that result as they cast a spell over Sundowners and moved out of the drop zone with a 5-3 win. Leaders Nauta A faced up to the spectre of a visitation by Target A, and a close encounter of the first kind was expected.

But the match turned into a bit of a nightmare for the visitors as Mitch hit 15 and 17dart legs, and Big Al a 180 (spookily, his first of the season!). The 7-1 scoreline could have been closer, but for some hellish finishing by Target.

Bubbles, the vampire slayer, and the rest of the Phoenix team, travelled up to Woodys A and enjoyed an extraterrestrial result as they came home with all eight points.

And Rood A gave a Jekyll and Hyde performance in their match with Tenerife Sons. That old devil called Luc hit his eighth 180 of the campaign, but his magical powers failed to halt a 7-1 defeat.

Ensecan’s Daniel delivered a bite to the neck in the form of a 180 in their away match

in Los Abrigos, but to no avail as the Surfers screamed out a 6-2 success.

Nothing alien at the top of Division 2 as the Barracudarts Boys, Nautas Nutters and Gaffers all enjoyed fine wins, and dined out on pumpkin pie and lots of beer!

The Tavern ghosted up one place to fourth as they got the better of Phoenix flames 6-2. I am told that scary masks were not required!

Woodys B player Colin became the angel of mercy by hitting his first maximum as his team said BOO to the Hunters and secured a 5-3 victory, while La Caña Lancers also enjoyed a monster of a night by beating Ourplace Playgirls by the same score.

You might have thought it was Friday 13th as close rivals

Tenerife Sun and Rood B fought out a blood-curdling struggle in Costa del Silencio.

But the result could not be exorcised as they finished allsquare.

Knights B gained praises from visitors Naughty Nautas for being great hosts and a fun team to play (maybe the spirits got the better of them!). But sadly, Rachel and Co were left with a haunted look on their faces as they crashed to a 6-2 defeat.

Finally, under difficult circumstances, Amigos Bad Girls earned much respect as they claimed a valuable draw at Marilyns. And I didn`t mention broomsticks once. Sorry ladies!

By Geoff Huxtable

Sharks’ great white-wash! fourth after another great escape, this time at Hoops.

They trailed 5-2 but roared back, and Harry’s Houdini act last of all saved a point, thanks to his first-class clearance from the break.

The A team have bragging rights in Bar 180 after stunning the B team 7-3, while Rat Pack’s fine season continued with victory over Toscales, and Trap Door are nicely placed in seventh after beating 8 Ball Massive.

Summerland Allstars came from three down to beat Terrace A, and Men of Atlantis made it five straight draws against Target Bar. Dreamers won

the Los Cristianos derby 6-4 against Legends.

In Division Two, Gaffers took advantage of Legends B’s free week to cut the gap at the top to just six points.

Their win at Target Rangers

made it five straight victories. Bar 180 C are hot on the trail as well after a 7-3er at Hammers C. Bar Tasca slipped back to fourth after drawing at Phoenix Potters, while

Lupain did the same with Barracuda Hunters.

Hammers B bounced back from their 8-2 lose against the C team with a solid win at Toscales Tangos. And after five consecutive draws, Summerland Elite have won a match!

They didn’t know what to do when they were 6-0 up at Inn The Pink, so they promptly lost three of the last four!

And Woodys are out of the bottom three after victory at Connors Bar, while Palms and Terrace B prop the tables up after defeats at Barracuda Bandits and Nauta B.

Thermal Palace really was cool!

ONE hundred years ago, this week, saw the closure of the 1910 Brussels World Exhibition.

It had run from 23rd April through to 7th November and had been a showcase of innovation of the day. Once over, many of the exhibits and even the buildings were sold off.

Such was the case with one of the major exhibition halls, a 90-metre long, rectangular pavilion. This pre-fabricated edifice was purchased by Messrs Gustavo and Guillermo Wildpret Duque, businessmen of Puerto de la Cruz, whose idea was to convert it into a grand hotel and leisure complex.

Don Gustavo and Don Guillermo were the sons of Swiss botanist and entrepreneur Don Herman Wildpret, of Warmbach, Germany, and Doña Luisa Duque Suarez, of Geneto, La Laguna.

In 1896, they had taken over the management of several of their father’s establishments situated at No. 2 Calle Iriate.

Known as Helvetia (Switzerland), the business catered for the exclusive tourist market of the day, selling such luxuries as Swiss chocolates, imported sweets and liquors, Havana cigars, and British and Turkish cigarettes.

Other shop units were dedicated to the sale of postcards and photographic materials, while native plants, seeds and flowers were sold in the adjacent seed merchants.

At No4 in the same street, they operated a soft-drinks factory, making carbonated beverages and recharging seltzer bottles (soda siphons).

Once the purchase of the pavilion had been completed, it was dismantled and shipped to Tenerife, with plans to reassemble and site it in the Martinez area.

The town’s narrow streets

Page 48

presented a problem for the building’s transportation but, eventually, everything necessary was on site, and construction work began towards the end of 1911.

Six months later the project was completed and the opening of the Thermal Palace took place on 24th June 1912, on the festival of San Juan.

The hotel boasted its own electric generator and had a cinema theatre which could seat 400. There was a grand ballroom, a library, a billiards room and a 200-cover restaurant.

In addition to its Turkish baths, with water supplied by the Martinez spring, the guests could also enjoy equestrian events which were organised on Sundays, and fiestas. They could even skate on the hotel’s own skating rink.

There was also regular

entertainment provided by local Canarian folk-dance groups and “Lucha Canario” (Canarian wrestling) competitions, as well as musical concerts given by both municipal and military bands.

For the next two years, the hotel enjoyed unprecedented popularity among the wealthy British and German tourists who wintered on the Island.

However, with the outbreak of the Great War, in August 1914, the boom was over.

Governments involved in the conflict recommended to their various shipping companies that they refrained from visiting the Canary Islands, and the ensuing tourism crisis meant that only the permanent residents of the area were left to patronise the establishment.

Shipping services were resumed after the war, but tourism failed to reach those

heady, pre-war levels. Thus, in 1925, the Thermal Palace was abandoned, because of its lack of profitability. In the Thirties, by which time the building was in a state of ruin, the remaining structure was dismantled and moved to La Vera.

There, a smaller edifice known as Villa Paz was constructed from the remaining usable material, on the new site.

The former location of the Thermal Palace became the

setting for the original Martinez Lido, which was inaugurated on 26th August 1940.

This sea-water pool complex was later to be redesigned by Canarian architect Cesar Manrique and re-opened in 1977.

Herman Wildpret will be remembered in his own right as a landscape gardener, who became head gardener of the Orotava Botanical Gardens of Aclimatisation in 1860.

He went on to design and lay

out many of the Island’s public parks and gardens, including: the Von Humbolt Spa in Puerto de la Cruz, and the Santa Catalina Hotel gardens in Las Palmas, in 1899.

The brothers Wildpret Duque will always be associated with the “Golden Days” of Tourism in Puerto de la Cruz, where they had a “Portuense” street named after the family in honour of their ties to the town, and for the promotion and development of early tourism in the area.
