The Strip’s getting ready to crumble!

A REPORT released at the end of January suggests that plans are in hand to demolish and then rebuild the popular Veronicas strip of bars and restaurants in Playa de Las Americas.

Those familiar with the ongoing controversy surrounding one of the south’s most frequented night spots will know that this is not the first time such plans have been announced by the Arona Town Hall.

However, this time it appears that the authorities mean business.Arona Mayor José Alberto González, and local Planning Chief Antonio Sosa expressed their concerns at a recent meeting with local business owners from Veronicas.

Mayor González said: “The local government’s intention is to make the area more attractive, from a commercial point of view, considering the degree of deterioration that one can clearly see.

“We understand that the most definitive solution is to demolish the existing buildings and develop a plan for a future project which will be

He added: “This is a strategic

area in terms of tourism and, in its day, it was quite splendid. But in light of the poor state the area is now in, it

The intriguing tale of two wives THE Veronicas debate has been going on for more than a decade, and even the source of its name is up for discussion!

According to some, the land from the Arona Gran Hotel to Veronicas was originally owned by Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

The story goes that when the sale of the property was underway, Burton insisted

that his wife’s middle name, Veronica, should be used to name the original building.

However, a more likely explanation is that the Belgian architect who worked on the project named it after his wife.

would be difficult to recover its former commercial pull without taking serious action.”

The zone’s troubled history goes back many years and, perhaps, the most notorious moment came when Veronicas received some seriously-bad publicity because of a report on television’s Tenerife Uncovered.

Drunken youths, drug-taking and violence were all “uncovered” as The Strip took a blow to its reputation, which

resulted in serious concerns from local business owners.

But the facts were indisputable.

As far back as March 2003, there was talk of demolition.

At that time, numerous clubs and bars were closed down by the previous Arona Town Hall administration for failing to meet minimum standards, causing great concern and confusion among owners.

Yet Veronicas kept going, with proprietors forced to spend large sums of money

to bring their establishments up to safety and sanitation requirements.

Conrad Sebastián, owner of one of the affected businesses at the time, considered the actions of the local administration “Unfair, since they have been applied across the board”.

He added: “I understand that some of the claims regarding the poor state of the zone to be true, but the Council has to realise that the same rules Continued on page 3.

Inflation now at 3% in Spain as jobless total goes up again THERE was desperate news for Spain this week when the annual inflation rate reached a two-year high of 3%.

The cost of living was driven up by higher prices for food, soft-drinks and electricity, which meant the inflation rate rose from 2.9% in December, according to the National Statistics Institute.

It was the highest since October 2008, when prices went up to 3.6% annually, because of soaring oil prices at the time. Even more worryingly, the price of oil has

been driven up to 100 dollars a barrel in the past week.

On top of that economic setback, the unemployment toll rose last month by 130,930 - an increase of 3.2% on December - taking the number of people out of work to a record high of 4,231,003.

The inflation rate has been driven by food and energy costs and, with prices appearing to be on the rise across large parts of Europe, it put pressure on the European Central Bank, which met in Frankfurt yesterday (Thursday) to discuss interest rates.

While analysts expect the ECB to hold key rates steady for now, they believe an interest-rate rise is possible later in the year if inflationary pressures increase further.

Higher interest rates raise the costs of credit and tend to slow economic activity, which could be a serious threat to economies such as Spain, Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

Spain is struggling to combat poor economic growth, though Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has said that it would be more positive this year. But he also warned that job creation

would be “far from what we need and desire. It will be slow and progressive.”

In addition to all this gloom, Spanish automobile sales fell for the seventh consecutive month. And the auto manufacturers’ association Anfac has warned that annual sales in 2011 will be below one million units for the third year running.

A total of 53,632 new cars were sold last month, which represented a 23.5% drop over the same time last year, when the Government’s Scrappage Scheme was still in place.

Standard & Poor, the New

York-based agency, confirmed Spain’s credit ratings on Tuesday, citing the Government’s determination to push reform and fix the budget.

But it believes the outlook remains negative, and that Spain will continue to rein in budget spending and pursue structural reforms. Standard & Poor also feels that economic and financial weaknesses will most likely weigh on the credit rating.

Going back to the gloomy jobless situation, both sexes were hit last month women more so - and jobs went in all sectors, especially in services, where

80% of the jobs were lost.

As for contracts, 1,116,019 were issued last month, which was 6.2% more than in the corresponding month in 2010.

Mari Luz Rodríguez, Secretary of State for Employment, said in a statement that the current number was “negative”, but she added that January was often a bad month for employment.

But because of the agreement reached with unions and businessmen, she said the jobless people would be looked after better, and be more prepared for the future.

The Strip’s getting ready to crumble!

Santander profits fall - to 8bn euros!

THE Santander Bank has reported an 8.5% drop in profits last year, following the economic crisis and the introduction of rules concerning bad loans.

The net profits of Banco Santander, which is the biggest bank in the euro zone as far as market value is concerned, fell to 8.181 billion euros.

New Bank of Spain rules meant that the bank had to keep a mammoth 487-millioneuro precautionary reserve in the third quarter for loans that might not be recovered.

Otherwise, the net profit would have slipped by only 3%.

The results demonstrated

04 February 2011 - 10 February 2011

Santander’s ability to generate profits, which exceeded eight billion euros for the fourth year running.

“This consistency was achieved in the worst economic context in several decades and is due, in large part, to the geographical and business diversification of the group,” said a bank statement.

Despite a 23% drop in net profits in Europe, the bank enjoyed a 25% increase in Latin America, a 31% rise in Brazil and improved by 11% in the UK. Overall, net banking income rose 11.1% to 29.224 billion euros.

Santander President Emilio Botin said: “We achieved results that again place us among the leaders of world banking. Banco Santander has had another excellent year.”

By July of the same year, the majority of those businesses which had been closed down were allowed to reopen, having fulfilled the local authority’s refurbishment rules.

But it did not stop there. In November 2003, just a few months after its reopening, a major street battle took place in front of Veronicas, and over 40 young, drunken Brits were arrested.

It was another blow to the image of the zone. By 2007, and following numerous incidents, Veronicas again hit the headlines as the Town Council made further moves to shut it down, quoting lack of safety measures again.

Additionally, the number of prostitutes working “The Strip” rose, and local residents clamoured for action.

Through 2007, 2008, 2009

and 2010, stories abounded regarding the troubled location, from increases in petty crime to noise issues.

But action from the Arona government was far from swift. However, it seems that an answer, or an end, is in sight.

At this moment, a proposal from Arona Town Council, as far as possible with the approval of local businesses, is in the development stage.

With the collaboration of the Tenerife Cabildo and the Canarian Government, Arona’s Mayor said: “We are working on a technical plan and studying the economic and financing viability of demolition and rebuilding.

“We see this as a great opportunity because the south of Tenerife, and Arona in particular, needs a highquality zone for leisure, night life and so on.

“We hope our plan will see the area converted into a much more attractive and appealing tourist destination.”

A WORD FROM OUR EDITOR

Snow joke

Last weekend with hundreds of other residents and tourists alike we made the intrepid journey up to Teide, in the hunt for snow.

The roads were operational and two way, as we approached from Vilaflor, previous warnings had suggested that if the weather was particularly bad a one way traffic flow would be enforced.

It looked promising as we travelled through the cloud a pick-up passed us with a smattering of snow.

We ventured through what I call the moonscape the flat bit just before Teide where many an epic film has been shot along with many others, we glimpsed and not a snowflake in sight – gutted.

The cable car was closed and the volcano itself shrouded in cloud, so we thought we would go to the visitor centre, it’s currently being refurbished so we just had an insignificant coffee and left!

Mount Teide or Pico del Teide as it is known is the highest elevation in Spain, it is the third largest volcano in the world from its base, It is an active volcano which last erupted in 1909.

Teide is the most visited National Park in the Canary Islands and Spain, in 2010,

Page 04

Teide became the most visited national park in Europe and second worldwide. Teide is the most famous natural landmark in Tenerife and the Canary Islands.

The beginning of the new month continued with adverse weather warnings, but these have now been cancelled since there peak on Wednesday.

Wednesday was a fiesta day and according to the Spanish press many thousands flocked to Teide as we had done in search of snow.

Just over 65 miles of the road was down to an average speed of twenty miles per hour.

The entrances to the peak of Teide became the busiest roads throughout the island, from early in the morning visitors headed to the emblematic summit to enjoy a day surrounded by snow.

The journey for them took nearly four hours due to the volumes of traffic, and traffic flow systems were in place if accessing from the North due to the inclement weather, those who got bored and did a U-turn were likely to receive hefty penalties from awaiting Guardia Civil.

But many felt that it was worth it, once they had managed to find a parking space, a play in the snow, a coffee and a sandwich – a great way to spend a fiesta day.

Prime Minister Zapatero ties economic knot with unions and employers THE new social and economic pact between the Spanish Government, unions and employers was signed at the Moncloa Palace in Madrid on Wednesday.

Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero said it was the country’s most important agreement since the Moncloa Pacts, signed as part of Spain’s transition to democracy in 1977.

The document was signed for the Government by Zapatero and Valeriano Gómez, Minister for Employment, by Ignacio Fernández Toxo and Cándido Méndez for unions CCOO and UGT, and by Juan Rosell, Chairman of the CEOE employers organisation.

The main point of the agreement is the extension of the retirement age to 67, although those who have paid into the system for 38½ years will be able to retire at 65 on a full pension.

Gómez praised the unions for their “responsibility and loyalty”, but the UGT union said the date (2nd Feb) should also be remembered because of last year’s General Strike, on 29th September.

But not everyone was impressed with the pact, with Jesús Terciado, President of the Cepyme

small business association, doubting its effectiveness.

He believes there is not enough in the pact to resolve the serious economic problems, especially for small and

medium businesses. Terciado called for greater reforms, listing all the problems facing the country’s small businesses.

Ignacio Fernández Toxo, who leads the CCOO Union,

was more optimistic, saying: “We have the strength and sufficient capacity to exit the crisis, and we have to do so via consensus instead of by confrontation.”

Closed-circuit cameras have a restricted range SPAIN’S Supreme Court has confirmed the law concerning the range of closedcircuit television cameras in the country.

It says that the cameras can capture a fixed target only, within their intended coverage, which is why a Santa Cruz resident has had to pay 300 euros to a neighbour.

The Supreme Court has ordered Gunter R, from Icod de los Vinos, to take down a security camera system which covered not only his doorway, but also captured

images of people entering and leaving neighbouring homes.

The system was motionactivated and had a powerful focus system, capable of working at night.

The sentence, first imposed on Gunter R in the Santa Cruz court, was confirmed by the Supreme Court, where Judge Juan Antonio Xiol Ríos ordered the defendant to pay his neighbour the 300 euros compensation.

Carmelo G said his health had suffered as a consequence of the security camera and the judge, who felt

it had invaded his privacy, added: “The recording of the comings and goings from the neighbour’s family home affected, although obliquely, the intimate area where his life was taking place.”

The Spanish Data Protection Law says that cameras can capture only the necessary images, and posters or signs must be erected, stating the whereabouts of the cameras.

The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has to be informed also for its registry of such cameras, and the images recorded have to be erased every 30

days. Last year, 32,925 new cameras were registered.

Cameras placed on the public highway have to be managed by the Police or Guardia Civil only, and need previous permission from a CCTV commission made up of judges or prosecutors.

Despite these rules, though, there are more companies, public bodies and individuals employing video cameras for their security.

There are 70,000-plus active security cameras in Spain, and more than 5,000 have been sited by neighbourhood or urbanisation communities.

Their loss is our gain? Spain planing a property sell-off in UK

THE Canarian Government has declared its intention to attempt to capture, as far as possible, travelers who were planning to visit Egypt or Tunisia.

In light of the current troubles plaguing both countries as the people take to the streets in a struggle for their democratic rights, many tourists will be looking to make alternative travel arrangements.

Already the Archipelago’s government has begun making contact with a number of tour operators, both abroad and on the mainland.

Deputy Tourism Minister for the Canarian Government, Ricardo Fernández de la Puente, commented: “We are maintaining contact with British, Nordic, French, German and Italian tour operators. We are ready to inform them of what availability we have so we can cover any needs they may have as a result of cancellations to Egypt or Tunisia. In fact, we have already had a number of inquiries.”

Tenerife’s Cabildo Tourism Chief, José Manuel Bermúdez is also aware of the possible

benefits that will result from the strife that is ongoing in two of the countries that have traditionally provided some of the Island’s stiffest competition.

However, he considers the likelihood of a major positive result is slim. He admits that there is bound to be some increase in numbers but is not looking for an overwhelming difference.

“These two countries and the circumstances that they are in will see their numbers of visitors drop, clearly, but I do not believe that in either case we will see an extraordinary change, in terms of

competition.” He added that Tenerife cannot rely on these kinds of circumstances to recuperate its losses in terms of tourist numbers, even though it will inevitably go a long way towards the recovery.

For their part, the Hotels Association for the Province of Tenerife, ASHOTEL, via their President José Fernando Cabrera, has estimated in a press release that at least 12 extra flights will be needed in the coming week.

“At the moment, those who want a good holiday in the sun will have to come to the Canaries. Of course, nobody is

happy about the turn of events in Egypt and Tunisia, but there is no doubt that these circumstances will benefit the tourism sector of which we take the utmost interest.”

At press time, no announcements had yet been made by UK based tour operators regarding the possibility of extra flights to Tenerife and the rest of the Archipelago to accommodate those travelers that have been forced to cancel their existing travel plans to either of the two countries currently facing considerable turmoil and risk to visitors.

PROPERTY regarded as holiday or second homes, which has been repossessed in Spain, is to be sold off in the UK. Banks or estate agents to whom the keys have been returned have been asked by the Ministry for Development to evaluate the property.

The Spanish Government is planning to present an international conference in London, and wants to guarantee the quality of the property it will offer.

The Government hopes British buyers will take advantage of the lower prices, which will be offered on this property “in stock”. No date

of venue for the event has yet been set.

It wants to impress that purchasing property in Spain is absolutely safe, and Beatriz Corredor, Secretary of State for Housing, says it is time to start recovering the image of Spain abroad.

She admits the current image is “not very positive and possibly out of focus” but wants to support those in the sector who have no problems submitting their housing to an advance evaluation.

The Government considers the time is right to start improving the image of the Spanish property market abroad, especially as the economic recovery is already taking effect in some European countries.

Male clothes steal top fashion show BARCELONA’S 080 Fashion week was dominated by the men’s collections, with clothes by Miquel Suay, Juun J and Omar Kashousa among others.

Their eye-catching creations proved to be just that at this “showcase for independent fashion”.

The collection by Kashoura, recent winner of the British Fashion Council’s 2011 New

Generation Designer award, and one of the invited international guests, was, said critics: “Nothing short of an exercise in good taste, excellent tailoring and a delight for the eyes.”

There was a distinct Sixties “mod” feel about his clothes on Wednesday’s catwalk, with narrow shoulders, roll-neck sweaters, side zips and lots of black, with other designers opting for pseudo-military touches, like ammunition belts.

kept the audience waiting over an hour to see a collection of tight-fitting, figurehugging garments, with whalebone corsets a-plenty, which were all deemed “unwearable” by general consent.

Catalan-Galician designer Manuel Bolaño, who won first prize at 080 Barcelona last year with his women’s collection, failed to receive the same acclaim for his “dark” collection. It was full of long skirts and peasant-style garments, which all had an unfinished look about them.

NEWS IN BRIEF Energy, rhythm and music means Mayumana are back THE FABULOUS dance, rhythm and percussion band, Mayumana, presents its latest show entitled “Momentum”, in the Guimerá Theatre in Santa Cruz from February 16th to 20th.

Mayumana is recognised world-wide for its shows of sweeping energy, rhythm and music based on a combination of percussion and sound.

Time has moved on and so have Mayumana’s shows; it has become more multimedia base, more than simply a show. There are many ele-

ments in this spectacle, such as clocks which move to surprising rhythms, special effects, water as an instrument, a video DJ, live projections of superimposed music created with pre-recorded instruments, rock, samba, funk, rumba and a whole lot of rhythm.

On the 16th and 17th, shows take place at 20:30, on the 18th and 19th at 19:30 and 22:00, and on the 20th at 19:30. Tickets can be purchased at the theatre’s box office (open Tuesdays to Fridays from 11:00 to 13:00 and 18:00 to 20:00), online at www.generaltickets.com or by calling on 902 363 603.

Drivers who have no eye for details...

War on film The CajaCanarias Cultural Centre in Santa Cruz de Tenerife is holding a retrospective exhibition featuring the works of legendary Hungarian war photographer, Robert Capa.

The show features nearly one hundred black and white photos taken by Capa, widely considered as the 20th century’s first great photojounalist. His work covers such varied subjects as life in the early 1900s, from the 1930s to the mid 1950s.

According to head of the CajaCanarias Office for Cultural and Social Activities, “This retrospective allows us to follow Capa’s steps, from his Trotsky report in 1932 to his last photograph, taken when he was covering the withdrawal of the French army on the Nam Dinh road in Vietnam on May 25th, 1954,

the day on which he lost his life after stepping on an antipersonnel mine.”

This intrepid photojournalist was always walking on the edge of danger. One month before his death, his friend Seymour Chim had told him that he did not need to stay on the front line, that he did not need to prove himself to anyone, to which Capa responded, “I don’t want to take any unnecessary risks, but if there is only one point from which I can take the photograph, I will go there, even if it means risking my life.”

The exhibition is open until the 16th of March and can be visited Mondays to Thursdays from 11:00 to 13:00 and 17:00 to 21:00, Fridays from 11:00 to 13:00 and 17:00 to 20:00 and Saturdays from 11:00 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 20:00.

Mesón del Norte and Alkabú restaurants, the Mar y Luna bar and the El Patamero winery. Participants in Los Silos are the Mocán bar and the El Patio de Interián restaurant, whilst in El Tanque, Camello Center and La Llovizna will be offering visitors samples of their delicacies. In Garachico, visitors are invited to taste the meals on offer at Ardeola, La Quina Roja and Lagar de Julio.

A number of parallel activities have also been organised to coincide with the fair, including a culinary demonstration in the El Palmar market in Buenavista on the 6th.

AROUND six million drivers in Spain, which translates to one in four, have problems with their eyesight.

It affects their safety and the safety of others on the roads, according to a study covering over 1,000 drivers between June and September last year by the Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña, in collaboration with the RACC and the association Visión y Vida.

As a result, Lluís Puerto, head of Road Safety for the RACC has recommended an

overhaul of the eye test which constitutes part of the driving test.

The study shows that 4% of drivers (more than a million) lack visual acuity, or the ability to perceive details, at long distance, registering values of under 0.5, which is the legal limit for holding a driving licence.

And 58.4% registered values under 0.8 (normal vision), probably because of an incorrect prescription for their glasses or lenses.

The lack of visual acuity makes it harder to read signs

Butt out SMOKING ban generates numerous complaints The introduction of the latest phase of the smoking ban has proved about as popular here in Tenerife as it has throughout the entire country, yet the number of official complaints in the Tenerife province has thus far totaled just eight.

So far, across the nation, no sanctions for breaches of the smoking ban during the first six weeks have been imposed, although hundreds of com-

plaints are under investigation, and in some cases proceedings have been opened against establishments and individuals.

Most of the complaints received have come from consumer organizations and relate to ignoring the smoking ban in bars and restaurants and to a lesser extent, in hospitals.

Other complaints point to a lack of signs on the premises or the sale of snuff in unauthorized places. The councils have also received numerous telephone inquiries which have been resolved easily without the need of further action.

in time, or confusion between similar signs, as well as a tendency to miss such details as pedestrians or cyclists, which affect road safety.

In 4% of drivers, the binocular vision (area we can see clearly) was below 80 degreesº, when the norm is 120 degrees - a factor that affects peripheral vision.

Also, 2% of drivers are affected by dazzling at night, and this percentage rises to 75% in drivers over 75.

As far the ability to distinguish an object against a background), 63.2% of drivers

were found to have problems, distinguishing a grey car against a grey road surface, for instance, or a white car against the snow. n addition, one in three drivers over the age of 65 displayed some degree of colour blindness, which affects 8% of men and 0.4% of women.

For people suffering colourblindness and driving at night, it is impossible for them to distinguish the colours of traffic lights at a distance something they are able to do during the day, because of the position of the lights.

More tourists this year for Tenerife?

ACCORDING to the Tenerife Tourism Corporation, the Island experienced an overall increase in the number of visitors during 2010.

Apparently, some 1,318,827 Britons travelled to the island in the first 11 months of 2010, an 8.6 per cent increase in comparison to 2009.

In November, a total of

125,895 Brits visited the island, 8.3 per cent more than on the same month in 2009.

The average length of stay was 7.06 days.

The corporation is predicting that new flights from easyJet and Jet2.com will contribute towards an increase in summer visitor numbers by 10 per cent yearon-year.

EasyJet has annouinced that it will introduce a BristolTenerife service in March and Jet2 will start a GlasgowTenerife route in April.

New police crimebusters will make tourist areas safer A NEW agreement between the Canarian Police and the Island’s local authorities will effectively step up the number of officers on the street to cut down crime.

The move will affect the major tourism-based municipalities of Arona, Adeje, Santiago del Teide and Puerto de la Cruz, according to the Canarian Autonomous Government.

As Canarian Weekly readers will be aware, there has been a steady increase in so-called petty crime, with residents and visitors alike calling on police to respond.

Now, says Canarian Government Justice Minister José Miguel Ruano, a collaboration between local forces and the Canarian Police will allow for a greater police presence where it is needed most.

Not only that, the Minister adds, but the joint effort will also allow for greater and more immediate access to the various emergency services.

The deal sees the beginning of a concerted attempt to bring greater security to the various boroughs and, in Santiago del Teide, the mission has already got underway.

Agreements have been signed in the presence of the local Mayor, Juan Damián Gorrín between both police forces, allowing the plan to begin.

This is just the start of the new approach to tackling the street crime, which has seen muggings and pick-pocketing steadily increase, according to Justice Minister Ruano.

Members from each of the tourist-based Town Councils have expressed their satisfaction with the programme, as well as their desire to see these areas become safer for all concerned parties.

San Miguel signs up to EU project San Miguel de Abona, for the first time is a member of a European Union project.

Grundtvig is a sub-frame of the Programme “Lifelong Learning Programme, which aims to improve the quality and European dimension of adult education.

The Municipality of San Miguel de Abona is participating for the first time as a partner in the programme “Lifelong Learning“ and its sub Grundtvig adult education, and over this weekend has been putting preparations in place.

After a brief tour of the Farmers Market in San Miguel and a small reception at the local council, the partners have started a working group.

San Miguel de Abona has joined the project together with the Azores, Italy (Gorgona Island), Greece, Madeira, Martinique.

The future project would be related to “The History of an Island Culture through Food and integration with other cultures.”

The project is fully funded by the European Commission,

will last two years and will lead to several meetings between the cities of the participating countries.

Victor Chinea, Mayor of San Miguel de Abona, said, “with the approval of a project like this not only could we get an improvement in the quality and European dimension of our adult education through informal teaching, self-learning and enrich the means to extend knowledge, but in a way much broader, would open the doors for a historic exchange, cultural, customs and traditions with other EU countries.”

Chinea added that “the programme emerges as a unique opportunity for people from san Miguel to access an exchange of ideas and launching of new mobility opportunities, participating in learning experiences and volunteering abroad to increase their capacity for personal and social development.

During the last decade, the Grundtvig Programme, launched in 2000, has invested 370 million euros in the field of adult education and has granted 17 000 grants to organizations.

Tourist Information Offices such a big hit TENERIFE’S TOURIST Information Offices (Infotén) have announced that they received a total of 966,765 visitors in 2010, a figure which represents an increase of 165,000 users, some 17 per cent, compared to 2009.

Going further back and comparing the data with 2008 the gain is over 400,000 visitors. This is an increase of 50 per cent in just two years.

The first Vice President and Tenerife Cabildo Tourism chief, José Manuel

Page 08

Bermúdez, stressed the importance of these figures, “Which have not stopped growing significantly in recent years and highlight the good work we are developing in the Infotén Network to provide information to meet the tourist demand.”

The counselor explained that the progress that has been made in the network of offices, through the Plan to Promote Tourism Product, the new uniforms and better signage, “Have contributed to this increase in quality of service that is clearly confirmed by the high number of users. “ In the south, at the AronaLas Vistas office, a full 83,060 visitors stopped by to ask for information, and in Adeje (Troy Fanabe and El

Duque), they received 70,852 visitors.

By nationality, the Spanish had the most use out of the offices, ahead of the British and followed by the Germans and French.

According to the report, the principal demands included asking for maps and brochures about activities and attractions on the island as well as information on beaches, cultural events and public transport.

One of the great upcoming advances at the Tourist Information Centres in Tenerife is the new extranet, an Internet site.

As described by the council, the site has been developed under the Digital Tenerife grant and will be operational by the end of this month.

Such a petanque breeze for Broosi

Huge snowstorm buries one-third of all Americans MILLIONS of Americans have been digging themselves out after snow covered more than a third of the country.

The storm, one of the largest to hit the US since the 1950s, spread more than 2,000 miles - reaching from

Texas to Maine in the North East.

Chicago was covered by 20 inches of snow, forcing firefighters to use snowmobiles to get around the city. In North Dakota, temperatures of -27C were recorded.

Officials in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Oklahoma declared a state of emer-

gency and motorists were warned to stay off the roads.

The National Guard was deployed to help rescue stranded drivers, but the National Weather Service warned the extreme conditions may prevent any further rescues.

Train services between New York and Philadelphia

were cancelled with more than 6,300 scheduled flights grounded in the affected area.

In Texas, the weather forced rolling blackouts, leaving three million people without electricity.

Authorities have brought in extra power from Mexico in order to meet demand.

Duchess hits the airwaves with soap role She is known for wearing waxed jackets and wellies but now the Duchess of Cornwall is taking her passion for the countryside to the airwaves.

It has been revealed that Camilla will be making a guest appearance on the long-running radio soap The Archers.

Radio 4 listeners were told about the impending visit to the fictional village of

THE Los Cristianos Petanque Club, based on the seafront at the Oasis Moreque, attracted an entry of 112 at their first monthly competition of the year recently.

They boast a 600-plus multi-national membership (male and female) - among the largest in the Canaries and Belgian Broosi Spitaels

(pictured) took the honours with 29 points after 3½ hours of stiff competition.

Runner-up was Adriana (27pts) and third was Marcel, a visitor from Tenbel’s Pentanque Club. All three received a bottle of wine each, but proud Broosi captured the trophy.

For more information about the Cristianos club and their future events, please contact Ken White on 639 557 385.

Ambridge on Wednesday from the character Caroline Sterling who owns the Grey Gables country house hotel.

The episode will be broadcast on February 16 with the Duchess playing herself in her role as President of the National Osteoporosis Society.

The episode has already been recorded but on the day of broadcast Camilla will

meet members of the cast and attend a reception to mark the show’s 60th year.

Her appearance also coincides with the 25th anniversary of the National Osteoporosis Society.

But her Royal Highness is not the first member of the Royal family to appear in The Archers.

In 1984 Princess Margaret featured in an episode mark-

ing the centenary of the NSPCC. Ms Coward, who also appeared alongside Princess Margaret, said: “It was fantastic to go to Kensington Palace to record with Princess Margaret 27 years ago and Clarence House was still more fun.

“The Duchess was relaxed, charming and wonderfully natural.”

Fanabe old streets are refurbished THIRTY-THREE workers from Adeje are working on the refurbishment of the oldest streets in the district of Fanabe.

The work has been made possible by a grant from the Department of Employment, Industry and Commerce and the Canarian Employment Service. The Councillors for Economic Development and Employment Policy, in conjunction with the Works and Services, Ermitas Moreira Díaz García and Gonzalo Delgado, respectively, have revealed that the older areas of Fanabe are suffering and need "significant and necessary improvements."

Thirty three people from Adeje have been selected by the Canarian Employment Service and Local Development council of Adeje to carry out the work. These improvements have a budget of EUR 346,848.81.

There was an agreement that "the improvement works were needed to Fañabé and have managed to combine efforts, carrying out the refurbishment of the neighborhood, but also to help build the labour market using people from the area who were without employment."

Australia battered

by Cyclone Yasi

Cairo sees skirmishes amid new battle lines AUTOMATIC machine gun fire has echoed around Cairo as military forces try to hold off clashes between pro-democracy demonstrators and government supporters.

A MASSIVE cyclone has struck northeastern Australia, ripping roofs from buildings and cutting power to thousands of homes.

The Bureau Of Meteorology said the destructive core of Cyclone Yasi struck land at the small resort town of Mission Beach in Queensland.

Dozens of other cities and towns in the region - which is known to tourists as the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef - were battered by heavy rain.

Witnesses reported seeing roofs ripped off, buildings shaking and trees flattened under the power of the winds.

The extent of property dam-

Page 10

age was unknown just before dawn because it was still too dangerous to venture outside.

No deaths or serious injuries have been reported.

Initially, Yasi had been measured as a category five storm putting it on a par with Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans in 2005.

But it has now been downgraded to a category two storm.

More than 10,000 people fled to some 20 evacuation centres that were set up in a danger zone stretching some 190 miles.

The storm will compound the misery in Queensland, which has already been hit by months of flooding that left 35 people dead and inundated hundreds of communities.

The intensified military action comes as Egyptian activists have reinforced huge defensive barricades in Tahrir Square, where they have stockpiled stones for ammunition.

Supporters loyal to President Hosni Mubarak were earlier spotted amassing in the district of Giza, armed with knives and sticks, and preparing to move in the direction of the square.

A pile of 17 confiscated police identity cards were amassed by the activists to support their claims of official infiltration of their movement.

In total, activists say they have apprehended more than 100 secret policemen from among their numbers.

Many Arab nations have

large and feared secret services, known generally as the mukhabaret.

Mobile phone service provider Vodafone has also alleged, according to the AP, that it has been forced by Egyptian authorities to broadcast pro-government messages.

The deteriorating condition in Egypt is causing increased international concern.

The leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain have released a joint statement about the situation in Egypt and called for a rapid transition of power.

“We are observing a deterioration of the situation in Egypt with extreme concern,” the joint statement, issued by French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s office, said.

The United Nations has also confirmed that it is evacuating 350 staff from Egypt and US citizens desperate to leave have been ordered to assemble at Cairo airport by consular staff.

Chemists from outer areas of Cairo had earlier travelled to the makeshift centre with supplies of medicines.

Earlier, Egypt’s health minister confirmed that five more protesters were killed in violence in Tahrir Square.

Samih Farid did not specify whether the victims died overnight but told state television: “Most of the casualties were the result of stone throwing and attacks with metal rods and sticks.”

At least 836 were taken to hospital, according to the minister. Around 2,000 protesters had barricaded themselves in the square overnight against supporters of the Egyptian president.

Heavy gunfire echoed during the night, with Molotov cocktails being tossed by opposing sides.

As dawn broke, democracy protesters were seen re-supplying those manning positions inside the square with food and water.

People attempting entry were forced to show identity cards and were frisked to make sure they were unarmed and not government-supporting agent provocateurs.

Amid rumours of an attempt to move them from

the square today, massive piles of rubbish are believed to have been doused in petrol - ready to be set ablaze as a defensive measure.

Supporters of Mr Mubarak, who said on Tuesday he would not seek re-election in September, had entered Tahrir Square and confronted pro-democracy protesters Tens of thousands of protesters on both sides took part in the stand-off in the square yesterday, armed with sticks, rocks and iron bars and amid claims of lynchings.

Soldiers were heard firing warning shots but held back from intervening, as chaos extended beyond the square as tear gas was fired at antiMubarak protesters.

With many protesters blaming the government for instigating the crackdown on the previously peaceful demonstrations, the US has renewed its appeal for immediate steps towards democratic reform.

A senior US official also said it was clear that “somebody loyal to Mubarak has unleashed these guys to try to intimidate the protesters”

Trend for homeswap holidays are just the ticket

Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa model ‘was a man’ AN EXPERT has claimed to have unravelled the mystery behind the worldfamous Mona Lisa painting - saying the model was a man and Leonardo da Vinci’s lover.

SWAPPING homes is the latest big holiday trend, with twice as many people planning a property-exchange this year compared with last.

Some 1.6 million holidaymakers have already arranged a swap, and UK areas targeted mainly are Cornwall, Devon, Scotland and the Lake District.

But a survey commissioned

by Lloyds TSB Insurance found that many families were also happy to trade homes with counterparts in countries such as Spain and Italy (15%) and France (12%).

Some house-swappers are venturing even further afield,

with 10% exchanging properties with owners in America.

But be warned, because what appears to be a cheap holiday option may prove a false economy. Nearly 25% of house-swappers returned home after their dream trip to discover their own property damaged to some extent.

Paul Spillane, head of home claims at Lloyds TSB Insurance, said: “House-swapping looks set to be the trend of the year, and it’s easy to see why because this type of holiday caters for so many different tastes.

“But to ensure people make the most of their holidays, we’re urging them to alert their insurers first, so that they don’t jeopardise their cover.”

Claims AA petrol retailers ‘ripping off’ motorists UK PETROL prices should be falling and not rising steadily, according to a new report by the AA. The motoring organisation says the wholesale cost of petrol has fallen over the last month.

At the end of December it was £524 per tonne but by the end of January the price had dropped to £505.

The AA says the average price of unleaded at the pump is a record 128.62p per litre - the fifth highest in Europe.

AA president Edmund King wants the government to consider introducing a price stabiliser.

“We understand prices remain volatile, but hope retailers will pass on savings

Page 12

when they can,” he said. The AA says it believes petrol stations are trying to compensate for lower than expected sales in the run-up to Christmas.

But the Petrol Retailers Association has defended the level of prices, saying its members have been “suffering terribly”.

He said: “Forecourts are closing at the rate of around 400 per year with smaller, but socially vital, rural sites most at risk.

“Attempts to deflect the impact of relentless government tax hikes by suggesting that retailers are ‘profiteering’ are ludicrous.”

The row comes as Chancellor George Osborne comes under growing pressure to freeze the 1p fuel duty rise due to take effect on April 1.

Artist da Vinci has proved an endless talking point for conspiracy theorists looking for hidden meanings in his works.

The Mona Lisa’s real identity remains shrouded in mystery with a silk merchant’s wife, Lisa Gheradini, being seen as the most likely model for the painting.

That was until Silvano Vincetti, chairman of the Italian national committee for cultural heritage, made his startling revelation.

He said the identity of one of the world’s most iconic paintings was a young man called Gian Giacomo Caprotti, also known as Salai.

Salai and da Vinci worked together for 25 years and is believed to be the inspiration behind several of the Renaissance artist’s works.

Mr Vincetti said the artist and his effeminate apprentice had an “ambiguous” relationship.

The expert drew on several of da Vinci’s works, including St John the Baptist and the Angel Incarnate, to highlight the similarities of the nose and mouth to that of the Mona Lisa.

Mr Vincetti also backed up his claims with forensic evidence.

He said: “Close examination of a high-quality digital copy of the portrait had revealed an L for Leonardo and an S for Salai.”

The findings have been

refuted by French art historians at the Louvre museum in Paris, where the Mona Lisa is one of the centre’s star attractions.

Experts at the Louvre say they checked the painting twice in 2004 and 2009 saying: “No inscriptions, letters or numbers, were discovered during the tests.

“The ageing of the painting on wood has caused a great number of cracks to appear in the paint, which have caused a number of shapes to appear that have often been subject to over-interpretation.”

Mr Vincetti, who has never had access to the painting, countered that the experts

in Paris were “really blind”.

But he offered to come to the museum with his team to date test the paint of the letters to the rest of the canvas.

His invitation has so far not been accepted, so for now the Mona Lisa will no doubt continue to smile enigmatically.

Services sector quells recession fears FEARS OF a double-dip recession have been quelled after Britain’s services sector which makes up three quarters of economic output - saw a rebound in activity.

The services Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) compiled by Markit/CIPS rose to 54.7, the highest level since May 2010, and surpassed market expectations.

A PMI reading below 50 indicates a contraction in

the industry. Markit chief economist Chris Williamson told Sky News some bounce back was expected after the dip in December, but the underlying growth in the service sector remained “subdued”.

Figures released earlier this week showed increased activity in other sectors – the manufacturing PMI hit a record high and construction continued to grow.

Markit said, taken together, the data indicated an underlying quarterly rate of economic growth of around 0.4%.

Activity in the dominant

services sector had hit a 20month low in December amid the bad weather, and the economy contracted by 0.5% in the final quarter of 2010.

This raised concerns of the UK falling back into recession, compounded by impending sharp cuts in public spending and higher tax.

But economist Jeremy Cook, from brokerage firm World First, said: “While it is early days yet, it seems the fears for the UK were overdone and a double-dip recession is looking increasingly unlikely.

“There is no doubt that the weather played its part in December’s poor showing, and once the thaw hit it revealed some strong fundamentals.

“The coalition will be breathing a sigh of relief this morning.”

But the results showed the sharpest jump in input costs since the survey began in July 1997, affecting businesses and employees.

The figures will provide food for thought to policymakers at the Bank of England’s interest rate meeting next week.

Mumbai workers uncover gold from WWII ship

GOLD BARS from a wrecked Second World War British cargo ship have been discovered by Indian workers at a dock in Mumbai.

The precious cargo was discovered by a team digging a new dock at the port according to local reports.

Mumbai police officer Quaisar Khalid said: “The contractors have told us about having found gold and the bars belonging to the lot that had sunk with (the) Fort Stikine.”

The two bars weighed 100g and 50g (3.5oz and 1.75oz).

The SS Fort Stikine exploded after a fire broke out in its

Page 14

hold while at Victoria Docks in the city port then known as Bombay on April 14, 1944.

Hundreds were killed in the explosions and subsequent blaze which raged for days and also destroyed many other ships that were docked at the time.

The Fort Stikine went up quickly as it was still fully laden with munitions and cotton bales - as well as an estimated £2m-worth of gold.

The bullion was intended to help boost Indian exchange rates that had been heavily hit by the war.

Some of the Fort Stikine’s glittering haul was discovered and returned to the British government 30 years ago, but the rest has lain undiscovered, until now.

Hologram staff will help airport security PASSENGERS at Manchester Airport will be greeted by holograms of staff in a bid to reduce security check queues.

The images of the customer service workers were created using the same cutting edge technology which is used in the music industry by bands such as the Gorillaz.

It is being trialled at terminal one where passengers are being met by holograms of real-life employees John Walsh and Julie Capper.

The digital illusions will greet travellers before they go into the security search area, explaining liquid restrictions and reminding customers about boarding cards.

The technology has been developed with Musion and the holograms are carefully prepared to retain maximum transparency and strength.

The surface produced is better than a glass mirror and allows the reproduction of high definition video.

It is so convincing that passengers have been seen pre-

senting their passports to the holograms, believing them to be people.

Musion have worked with various hit groups, including The Black Eyed Peas on their latest single “The Time (Dirty Bit)”.

They were also behind a hologram of Frank Sinatra that performed at Simon Cowell’s 50th birthday party.

Founder, James Rock, said: “We’ve developed this technology for many uses but it’s perfectly suited for an airport environment where the support of recorded mes-

sages can help with passenger information.”

“John” and “Julie” can be programmed to say different messages but for now they will warn holidaymakers about the liquid restrictions.

Manchester Airport’s customer services director Julie Armstrong said: “We’ve tried lots of different ways to reinforce the liquid rules, from posters to people dressed up as giant deodorant cans.

“Maybe holograms are the answer. You certainly can’t miss them.”

The real Julie Capper said: “If our holograms help our passengers through the security process even quicker then it will be a good thing.

“It’s strange to see yourself in virtual form and I’m hoping that I’ll be able to rely on my virtual self to carry some of my workload.

“I wonder if I can send it to meetings in my place and whether anyone will notice,” she added.

Other airports around the UK are currently investigating their installation.

Actress sparks an £18m anti-knife crime scheme ACTRESS BROOKE Kinsella has prompted the Government to announce it will spend £18m over the next two years to tackle crimes involving knives, gangs and guns.

Kinsella, a former EastEnders star, was appointed a Government adviser on knife crime after her 16-yearold brother Ben was stabbed to death in London three years ago.

Recommendations in a report she made called for more anti-knife projects in schools and a scheme to deal with the “fear and fashion” factor of knives.

Home Secretary Theresa May acknowledged Kinsella’s work when she announced the funding initiative.

Ms May said: “Off the back of Brooke’s recommendations, we will invest money into changing attitudes and behaviour, alongside being tough on those who persist in being involved in senseless crimes.”

Kinsella said in her report that children as young as 10 should be given anti-knife crime awareness lessons.

She said: “Whilst seven may be deemed too young for some of the content I experienced in the projects I visited, it seems to be the majority

04 February 2011 - 10 February 2011

opinion that education and awareness needs to start at primary school level.”

She said there were also “gaps” in the projects available and more work was needed to tackle knife-wielding girl gangs.

“I really believe the problem

of knife crime has escalated in the past few years, and the impact it has on communities and families is devastating,” she said.

Ms Kinsella, who played Kelly Taylor in EastEnders from 2001 to 2004, began working on knife crime with the Conservatives before the election.

She then spent July and August talking to project leaders and community workers about the issue.

Her brother was murdered in June 2008 after a fight in a bar spilled out on to the streets in Islington, north London. He had been celebrating the end of his GCSEs. At the weekend, a teenager became the UK’s latest victim of knife crime when he was fatally stabbed in front of a stationary bus full of passengers in south London.

Last month, figures from Britain’s largest force showed knife crime rose by more than 8% last year, compared with 2009.

The Metropolitan Police said serious youth violence also rose, up 3.1%, but gun crime fell by 10%, with 352 fewer reported offences.

E-Books are outselling paperbacks at Amazon

SALES OF electronic books are now outstripping paperbacks, Amazon has revealed.

The world’s biggest online retailer says its Kindle ereader was the best-selling item in the company’s 16year history.

Electronic book sales outstripped paperback books in the final quarter of 2010. For every 100 paperbacks the company shifted, it sold 115 Kindle books.

Quarterly revenues at the world’s biggest online retailer shot past $10bn (£6.3bn) for the first time, in the three months to December 31.

However, a price war with high street shops meant Amazon’s margins suffered while customers benefited from lower prices.

Profits stood at just over 3% of sales of £8.1bn, at

£261m, disappointing investors.

Microsoft’s results for the quarter showed a slowdown in personal computers sales.

However, profits for the period hit £4.1bn, boosted by sales of its Kinect unit for the Xbox games console.

The company tried to play down indications that tablet computers would overtake the market, with its international president JeanPhilippe Courtois saying: “Devices are going to go and come”.

He added that the Seattlebased technology giant was making progress in the tablet arena.

Microsoft recently announced it is developing a version of its Windows operating system to work with ARM Holdings computer chips to establish a major presence in smartphones and tablets.

Brave Samantha’s after a new home

SAMANTHA had her ears cut off when she was a pup, either in preparation for dogfighting, or simply for fashion.

The Staffy/cross has “lived” for two years in the Aktiontier refuge, at Accion del Sol, and, despite her troubled history, is a lovely dog.

Please contact the refuge on 922 778 630 if you would like to see her, with a view to offering her a loving home.

Aktiontier offer a big “thank-you” to the Las Chafiras-based Tenerife Auction Rooms, who are putting their donated items under the hammer every Saturday. And thanks also go to Ann, who has been selling donated clothing on her stall there.

If anyone would like to donate items, big or small, to the refuge, then call the above number, or Karen Clack (687 905 511). Every euro helps towards the costs of running this first-class refuge at Granadilla.

Karen, Aktiontier’s volunteer fund-raiser, is organising a sponsored horse-ride on 12th March, with all proceeds

going to the refuge. The riders and their mounts will be covering about 20kms, from El Salto to El Medano, via Accion del Sol. This will be followed by a BBQ at Karen’s house. If anyone would like to join them with their own horse, or sponsor them, please contact Karen.

Please take the time to visit this state-of-the-art refuge, which is open Monday–Friday (3-6pm), and dog-walkers are always welcome.

Aktiontier now works with four major town halls Granadilla, San Miguel, Guia De Isora and its newly-formed collaboration with Arona which means the refuge covers the south of Tenerife.

This has led to a vast increase in the number of dogs being taken into the sanctuary, so re-homing is of uppermost importance.

Every dog is sterilised, castrated, vaccinated, wormed, defleed, micro-chipped and passported ready for rehoming. So if you are looking for a dog, please visit the Accion del Sol centre.

To find the refuge, take exit 51 on the TF, and you’ll find it next to the Eolica windmill park, ITER, on the Granadilla Poligono Industrial Estate.

Then, on 1st July, the Lions will be sending a group of 27 children plus carers for an eight-day holiday to Great Yarmouth.

In addition to those trips, the Lions will also be playing host to, and supporting, a group of Down’s syndrome children from the Ockenden School, Essex, in May. Many thanks go to the Fun Golfers at the Los Palos golf course for their generous donation of 2,000 euros, which they raised through

their monthly meetings during 2010. Thanks also go to the management and staff of Iceland for their recent support in an extremely successful Christmas raffle.

It is through generous support from the public and local businesses, and from the proceeds from our two charity shops, that Tenerife Sur Lions are able to sponsor children’s holidays, and to fund other charitable activities on the Island.

Don’t forget, the next time you visit either the Apolo Centre in Los Cristianos, or Costa del Silencio, drop in to the local Lion’s Shop. You will be surprised at the range and quality of goods on offer and, of course, the low prices. Your support really does count.

Have you ever thought about becoming a Lion and joining an international network of volunteers and friends? There are many reasons for becoming a Lion.

You can help your community, gain valuable skills and

make an impact on people’s lives. You will know that what you do is worthwhile and appreciated.

Membership is by invitation, so look for a club near you and make contact, expressing your interest in joining. Ask if you can attend a meeting to learn more about the club and its projects, and to enquire about becoming a member.

YOUR NEW-LOOK TELEVISION GUIDE! 13 CHANNELS INCLUDING BBC, ITV, CHANNEL 4, CHANNEL FIVE SKY & SPORTS CHANNELS

Hot Fuzz Saturday 05 February 10:55pm - 1:05am ITV1 Simon Pegg and director Edgar Wright - the team behind zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead - return for this gleeful pastiche of American action movies. Pegg stars as an over-achieving London policeman transferred to a crime-free village where all is not as it seems. What begins as a very funny, very British murder mystery eventually mutates into an ironic action spectacular that blows up half of Gloucestershire (or rather, Wells pretending to be Gloucestershire).

Armed with a Who's Who of home-grown acting talent and a surfeit of gags, Hot Fuzz also showcases the continuing comic partnership of Pegg and co-star Nick Frost. Their mismatched cops play out every buddy movie convention imaginable while discussing subjects as diverse as ice-cream "brain freeze" and the homoeroticism of action thriller Point Break. More smart than silly, this is selfconfident comedy that's proud to be British.

Live Six Nations Rugby Union - Wales v England

6:50pm ...................... Take Me Out

Coronation Street

7:30pm, BBC1 John Inverdale introduces live coverage from the Millennium Stadium as the 2011 Six Nations gets under way. Both Wales and England will be looking to get the tournament off to a good start, with confidence and momentum always even more important in a World Cup year.

Live coverage of the opening game of this year’s Six Nations championship at the Millennium Stadium (kick-off 7.45). Both sides underachieved in last season’s tournament, with the Welsh finishing fourth and England

third. In this World Cup year it will be more important than ever for teams to get off to a good start in the northern hemisphere’s biggest rugby

04 February 2011 - 10 February 2011

competition. Wales desperately need to rediscover that winning feeling, having not triumphed in any of their last seven matches.

Martin

Johnson’s England showed glimpses of class in the autumn internationals, most notably beating old rivals Australia, but they need to reproduce that form more consistently.

Johnson was the captain the last time England had a Six Nations win at the home of Welsh rugby back in 2003, although the men in white did win 30-17 at Twickenham 12 months ago. Introduced by John Inverdale, with studio guests Jeremy Guscott and Jonathan Davies. Eddie Butler and Brian Moore commentate.

Two trips to Corrie this evening, that clash with the Rugby, so there could be a scrum for the remote.

Peter is racked with guilt after spending the night at Carla’s, while Leanne tries to track him down. Rosie and

Jason take Jack to the audition, but a lapse in concentration has disastrous consequences, and a terrified Fiz attends Joy’s funeral. Tracy heads back to court and Audrey agrees to a date with Marc.

Packs. Sky Atlantic is now appearing in the Sky channel TV guide on number 108, between Sky Living and Watch and you can set reminders and recordings for programmes on this channel as you do with all your other favourite Sky channels.

At the same time some of the most popular channels in

04 February 2011 - 10 February 2011

For example, Sky 1 HD moves up from 170 to 106, so if you hit 106 on your remote, you’ll be taken straight to the HD version of this channel.

Sky 1 moves in the other direction, from 106 to 170, and Sky Sports HD 1 from 408 to 401. This makes it easier for all HD customers - including those of you who have just upgraded to HD - to find gripping dramas and top sporting action in glorious HD.

You don’t need to do anything - your reminders and Sky+ recordings – including Series Link – won’t be affected by the channel number changes, even if you booked recordings or reminders before the channel changes, so you don’t need to adjust anything in your Personal Planner.

Your selected favourite channels are also unaffected.

SO it all happened on Wednesday! After the big build-up over the month, Oasis Fm’s Tenerife Loves Karaoke got well and truly underway.

To say the first heat was a success would be an understatement. It was one of the best nights I have personally had in a long time - from the staff in Churchill’s bar, to the Oasis Fm judges, Freddie from Looney Tunes and Paul James himself.

But for me, the entrants and the audience just made the night. I was so happy to see people taking it for what it is: just a bit of fun.

At the start of the night, I was doing my usual piece on the microphone, warming up and giving out the rules. I asked all of those taking part to go over to the Oasis staff at the front and tell them which song they were singing.

I had to laugh as they all formed an orderly line and waited with the patience of saints just give us the information.

Being me and my strange life, obviously, the weird always happens to me.

Because we had so many people registering, we did a live draw on my radio show for the 15to take part.

So that evening, I was approached by a bloke who asked: “Is this where the karaoke competition is?”

Page 26

With the Tenerife Loves Karaoke posters all over the place, and the big Oasis Fm banner at the front of the bar, I scratched my head in annoyance that such a stupid question could be asked.

I said Yes and he then asked me to put his son’s name in. I explained a draw had taken place and that if a few did not turn up to take those places, it would be on a first-come, first-served basis.

I asked where his little boy would be and he pointed to the back of the bar. I’m sure he saw the look of amazement on my face as I looked at his son. I wanted to ask whether Snow White and the other six dwarfs were with him!

The competition has an age limit of 13. I asked the father how old his son was and replied 11. I explained about the age limit and he came out with one the best lines ever: “He will be 13 soon,” he said with a straight face.

Yes, he will be in two years, and I don’t think we can keep the crowd busy for that

length of time! Jamie Drew, who is hosting all the gigs, whipped the crowd into frenzy with his introduction and sang a classy version of Robbie Williams’ Let Me Entertain You. If I’d known he was that talented, I would not have wished him to be the host! I am being completely honest when I say there was not one duff singer there. Act after act was brilliant.

After the judges’ totals came up, the three chosen had a sing-off and the winner of heat one, Roseanne, was announced.

She sang Don’t Stop Believing and the Alicia Keys classic Falling and was not only a hit with the judges but the audience as well.

So congratulations and good luck to those taking part in the next Tenerife Loves Karaoke, which will be held next Saturday (12th Feb) at Clouseaus, in Palm Mar. A big thank-you to everyone, for such a great night.

9.00pm, BBC1 Jack (Ashley Walters) and Stella (Hermione Norris) are Outcasts.

A group of courageous pioneers face a unique opportunity: the chance to build a new and better future on another planet, as BBC One’s brand-new, epic blockbuster series, Outcasts, created by Ben Richards (Spooks, The Fixer, Party Animals), begins.

A diverse group of individuals – led by President Tate (Liam Cunningham) with his core team of Stella (Hermione Norris), Cass (Daniel Mays) and Fleur (Amy Manson) – left their old lives behind in extraordinary circumstances.

Promised a second chance at life, they created a society far away from their home, friends and family ... and their pasts.

Settled in the town of Forthaven on Carpathia, they are passionate about their jobs, confident of their ideals and optimistic about the future. They work hard to preserve what they’ve built on this planet they now call home, having embraced all the challenges that come with forging a new beginning.

The planet offers the possibility for both corruption and redemption; while they try to avoid the mistakes

Page 28

made on Earth, inevitably the heroes cannot escape the human pitfalls of love, greed, lust, loss and a longing for those they’ve left behind.

As they continue to work and live together they come to realise this is no ordinary planet. Is there a bigger purpose at work?

Mystery lurks around them and threatens to risk the fragile peace of Forthaven.

Viewers meet the characters at a moment of incredible anticipation.

They’ve lost all contact with Earth but the arrival of the last known transporter signals fresh hopes and dreams. Will Stella’s husband and daughter, who she heartbreakingly left behind, be on board?

Why does Tate seem anxious about one particular passenger, Julius Berger (Eric Mabius)? And, most nerve-wracking of all, will it land safely and bring a fresh perspective on the new world with it?

Outcasts stars Liam Cunningham (Clash Of The Titans) as President Richard Tate, who runs Carpathia and is dedicated to keeping the human species alive; Hermione Norris (Spooks) as Stella Isen, Head of Protection and Security (PAS), who sacrificed

everything for the chance to save the world; Amy Manson (Desperate Romantics) as Fleur Morgan, PAS Officer, and young, bright and idealistic; Daniel Mays (Ashes To Ashes) as Cass Cromwell, PAS Officer – unpredictable and fiercely loyal to Tate; Jamie Bamber (Battlestar Gallactica) as Mitchell Hoban, Head of the Expeditionaries and a progressive and ambitious man; Ashley Walters (Small Island) as Jack, Mitchell’s second in command, and he is tough, armed and dangerous; Eric Mabius (Ugly Betty) as Julius Berger, vice president of the Evacuation Programme on Earth. Berger is en route to Carpathia on board transporter CT9, expecting the power and status he enjoyed on Earth.

Michael Legge (Shameless) is Irish charmer Tipper Malone, a rebel who speaks out against the authorities representing the voice of the displaced youth; Langley Kirkwood (Generation Kill) is leader of the ACs, a group of cloned human beings and one of Carpathia’s darkest secrets; Patrick Lyster (Invictus) is the dignified and brave commander of transporter CT9; and Jeanne Kietzmann is Lily – lost, troubled and seeking answers.

mainly bound for the West.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo the Chinese dominate the primitive and dangerous mining industry that extracts copper and cobalt, and Justin investigates allegations of maltreatment of local workers.

Finishing his African journey at the India Ocean port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, Justin encounters the sheer size of Chinese trade with Africa, thought now to be worth $100bn a year. Vast warehouses full of copper, manganese and cobalt await loading onto ships bound for China. Despite the controversy of Chinese support for dictators like Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe, China is in Africa to stay. Its nostrings investment in roads, dams and railways makes China hugely popular with African governments. The West seems to be being left behind in the race for influence and economic opportunity in a continent full of crucial natural resources.

Travelling across three continents, Justin Rowlatt investigates the incredible spread of Chinese influence around the world, and asks what the world will be like if, as predicted, China overtakes America as the predominant economic superpower.

In the opening film of this two-part series Justin embarks on a journey across Southern Africa to chart the extraordinary phenomenon of Chinese migration to Africa, and the huge influence of China on the development of the continent.

While many in the West view Africa as a land of poverty, to the Chinese, it is seen as an almost limitless business opportunity.

In Angola, Zambia, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Justin meets the fearless Chinese entrepreneurs who have travelled thousands of miles to set up businesses.

The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best

1:00pm ..........................Due South

8:00pm, BBC2 NEW SERIES. Si King and Dave Myers celebrate comfort food as they travel around West Yorkshire and Lancashire. They sample a meat and potato pie made from a family recipe, a ginger sponge and custard prepared by a mother and daughter, and a curry recipe taken from a homemade cookbook. The pair also create their own comforting meals, including oxtail stew and creamy tomato soup with rouille.

Simon King and David Myers have undertaken a nationwide search for Britain’s lost recipes – those forgotten gems or secret scribbles handed down through the generations – to help create a massive database of tasty and achievable recipes. But it’s also a call to arms; the series aims to bring together grannies, mums and daughters who love to cook, to ensure that these precious historical documents of our shared

national cuisine are preserved for the future.

At the heart of each programme is the Mums Know Best Recipe Fair, an event suffused with nostalgia for village fetes of your childhood, crossed with the Hairy Bikers’ extraordinary range of international influences. It’s a space for mums to swap their favourite recipes, cookery anecdotes and tips.

Curated by Food Historian Gerard Baker - a regular contributor to BBC Radio 4’s The Food Programme all the invited guests are asked to bring along their favourite family recipes and cooked examples. He and his team compile them for the Mums Know Best Recipe Board for the other mums to copy down. In addition they are encouraged to bring along their indispensable, old- fashioned, dependable and sometimes unidentifiable kitchen gadgets: potato peelers, soda

streams, meat mincers, pastry cutters...

Each week’s Recipe Fair has a different theme such as Sunday Dinners, Show Off Dinners, Picnics, Birthday Parties, Family Favourites and Good Simple Suppers, and all the recipes fit into that theme.

Si and Dave comment: “Well here we go! What a treat, food with a load of love!

Great British food from the custodians of culinary traditions, our Mams, Grannies and Dads. We have rummaged in the bottom drawers, cupboards and memories of houses and families across the nation for their secrets, recipes and top cooking tips. It’s been a great party. We’ve been around the world, baked ourselves into a frenzy and nibbled and cooked some of the best food in the country. Now it’s time for something really special, truly delicious food from the people who know best.”

wedding. Alain de Botton delivers his philosophy on contemporary romance in the run-up to Valentine’s Day and Miranda Sawyer meets PJ Harvey to discuss

her new album Let England Shake. Plus, Alastair Sooke talks to Turner Prize-winning artist Simon Starling about his latest exhibition at Tate St Ives.

SUE MCDONALD Common Sense Furnishings Email: sue.mcdonald@canarianweekly.com

A house by the sea NOWADAYS, it can be quite difficult to buy a house right on the seafront because these plots are in high demand, and Tenerife is running out of coastline!

We recently had a chance to furnish a three-bedroom show-house in such a location, between Los Abrigos and El Medano, called Mareta Sol. Obviously, the biggest selling point of the house is the location, but for those who do not know the area, this is not one of sandy beaches!

It is a rugged coast, and the agents feel that buyers are most likely to be surfers, walkers or, at the very least, outdoor people who enjoy the beautiful nature of that stretch of coast.

Going back to the showhouse, the dilemma facing any interior decorator is that you have to make an impact in a matter of minutes. Subtlety doesn’t work, because often, people aren’t there long enough to take it all in. So first impressions definitely count!

In addition, the purpose of the show-house (apart from selling furniture) is to display the property at its best and, basically, try to sell it.

So the furniture has to amplify and demonstrate all the fabulous features the house can offer - and do it quickly!

To create an impression that

Page 38

the house is ideal for sporty and outdoor people, we wanted to use some themed items.

But how far can you go with following a theme, without it becoming a bit twee?

We all know someone who has a room of Princess Diana plates, or a bathroom themed around frogs (sorry if you are one of those people), but

that’s a step too far for me.

Finally, we let the colours speak for us, using various shades, from intense blues to washed, natural greens and beiges. We then added some related items such as shells, bleached wood and a wetsuit.

Yes, I used a wetsuit as an ornament! My friend Dean, was convinced that I have a

rubber fetish when I asked him for an old wetsuit! Or that this recent spate of bad weather was getting to me!

Sorry to disappoint you Dean, but we displayed the wetsuit by the back door to the garden. The idea is that people will be encouraged to think that the house is suitable for their way of life, and that there is room for all of the things they will need from a home to suit their lifestyle.

In the bedrooms, we used vibrant shades of greens, oranges and sands, and dressing two of the rooms as bedrooms, and the third as an office/study, with a sofa bed.

This would then be ideal as a permanent office, or a room for a teenager with a sofa which converted to a bed.

We used materials that are easily cleaned (our sporty buyers might bring lots of suncream and sand into the house), using a faux leather sofa and tempered-glasstopped tables. But we did

not use a rug in the lounge as this could attract and retain the sand.

The end result was a house that was practical for its buyers and their lifestyle, stylish without being over-themed, and striking.

Taking into account that the show-flat is dressed for impact, buyers of the proper-

ty may well choose to tone down the colours and decoration a bit for their own purchase, although many people are bold enough to go for brighter colours than they would in their home country.

The properties are already selling well and when they are all sold, well, at least I’ll get to keep the wetsuit!

A menacing weevil could kill off the Islands’ palm trees

The rights and wrongs of the gardening page I ENJOY reading your letters and emails every week, although the lack of space does not always permit me to print them.

This week, however, I could not resist printing these two offerings. The first berates me for writing about the RSPB’s Big Garden Birdwatch throughout the UK, and rare apples in Worcestershire.

The other email describes how two youngsters, after seeing it in my column last week, actually took part in the Birdwatch, which was held throughout the UK at the weekend.

I found the subject thoroughly interesting, which is why I devoted my main story to it last week. And I am so pleased it met with approval of at least some of our readers.

Karina and Adel Wilson, on holiday here with their parents, contacted Richard Bashford, the RSPB’s Birdwatch Project Manager, who gave them permission to carry out their own survey in Tenerife.

Dear David, Why do you have David Hudgell writing in the Canarian Weekly when his

PALM biologist Rafael Garcia Becerra has warned about a new palm weevil in La Palma, which kills the plant and has caused significant damage in other islands of the archipelago.

According to the research entomologist, this beetle is present in a group of palm trees planted in the grounds of the Fuencaliente resort.

Its main focus has been on the newly-planted fan palm (Washingtonia) and Canary Island date palm (Phoenix), which are right at the entrance of Hotel Princess Fuencaliente.

Garcia added: “It is vital that action is taken as urgently as possible, using

the protocol designed by the Ministry of Environment, to prevent the spread of the beetle across the island.”

The biologist stressed that it was not the red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus), but the palm weevil (Diocalandra Frumentius), which is smaller but just as bad as the former.

Worryingly, it is also in Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria.

It was initially introduced by infected palms being brought to the Canaries from the shores of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

The palm weevil is native to coastal areas of Southeast Asia, but it is becoming cosmopolitan by invading uncontrolled man-made palm trees.

It is a small beetle, about five millimeters, and was

04 February 2011 - 10 February 2011

detected for the first time in the Canaries in a palm grove in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, in March 1998.

Gradually, it has been reportedly found in Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and, more recently, in Tenerife.

“It causes necrosis of the inner leaves and the formation of small galleries in the spine that may affect the vascular bundles,” said Garcia.

“In this case, it is causing serious damage to the plant, which in less than a year, and once infected, dried and dies.”

In October 2007, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Canary Government issued an order setting out phytosanitary measures for their control.

page is not relevant to Tenerife?

He had half a page last week on bird-watching in the UK, and apples in Kent, but a lot of my friends feel the same as me - we would like somebody who is conversant with Tenerife gardens and gardeners.

Ken Gould Dear David, We are on holiday in Tenerife for six weeks and thought you may be interested to know that my daughters, Karina and Adel, have been doing the RSPB Birdwatch for their Gold Award.

They read about it in Canarian Weekly last week, and my husband, Roger, joined them on their own little bird-watch on Amarilla Golf Course, with some interesting results.

They saw several varieties of bird, including a house sparrow, a collared dove and an egret. They also heard a chiffchaff warbling, but that didn’t count because it did not land.

We live near Edinburgh and when we return to home, the children will submit a report to the RSPB magazine.

Hope this is of interest to David Hudgell and readers of your gardening page.

Janet Wilson

As a result, the palm biologist is hoping the public authorities in La Palma will act immediately to banish the menacing palm weevil.

“They should tell all local gardeners of its existence, and to take precautionary measures to treat any palm garden,” said Garcia He also said that gardeners should know that there are products such as resins, which, when applied to areas of the palm which have been pruned, will prevent the weevil from causing damage.

To stop any more arrivals of this pest to the Canaries, both the expert and other researchers point to the need for increased health checks to plants at ports and airports, especially as the infected palm trees planted in Fuencaliente came by boat in a container.

CARL PATTISON from Robot, answers your hair questions

DANNI BYRNE Keeping you fit Email: danni.byrne@canarianweekly.com

Email: carl.pattison@canarianweekly.com

It’s No - 1,000 times! Five food misconceptions SOMETIMES in my profession, I come across situations with a client’s hair that I find hard to believe.

Yes, I know that it’s my job to know about the ins and outs of all aspects of hairdressing, but more often than not it’s a lack of common sense, and also not listening to your stylist, that causes many salon problems.

In the salon, we deal with chemicals and solutions that can burn, dry hair out, cause irritations and literally disintegrate the hair and hairdryers that throw out scorching temperatures, plus hair irons that can literally singe off sections of hair.

Yet as hairdressers we try to advise our clients, but sometimes it feels as though we are talking to ourselves.

“Nag, nag, nag,” I hear you say, but it’s like a dentist seeing you not brush your teeth correctly. He’s only going to have to take out your precious teeth when you’re in pain with them.

It’s the same for us, because we get upset and annoyed when our advice is ignored.

When I see hair that’s not cared for, it makes me feel two things: sad and angry.

For many, hairdressing is a job - and just that! But for me, it’s my life and always has been for over 30 years. You can tell me to “get a grip”, but without hairdressing I’d be lost, and that’s why I’m so passionate about it.

So what am I going on about now? Well, the next time you do anything to your hair, from brushing it to washing it, cut-

Page 40

ting it to colouring it, just think about it.

Think about what this is doing to your hair? After all, it is a living thing (some say not).

It grows, it replaces itself, it breaks if you’re bad to it, it shines when your good to it.

In other words, hair is alive!

So do brush it kindly. Is your brush full of hair? Is this because you are too rough with it? Do you need another brush that’s softer?

Shampoo and condition your hair with care, and don’t be aggressive when you do it. Be gentle and comb your conditioner through with a wide tooth comb, starting at the ends.

When towel-drying your hair, don’t rub with force, but gently pat and squeeze it dry, because being rough will only break and tear it.

Use a hairdryer without the nozzle because otherwise, this concentrates the hairdryer’s air flow and can singe the hair, making it brittle and rough.

Always use a continuous movement with the hairdryer, from root to tip, pointing it away from your scalp, and never hold it on one section for too long.

Finish each section with a cool shot to smooth the cuticle and give extra shine and hold.

Hair irons? They’re a hairdresser’s best friend and a client’s worst enemy if not used correctly. I’ve seen more damage with hair irons than with any other colour or perm.

They are not to be used daily, because once or twice a week is enough. If done correctly, it should last you 2-3 days. Always iron damp hair

(so it doesn’t sizzle when you do so) as this helps to iron hair straighter, keeps it straighter for longer and is less damaging.

Always use an iron spray or other treatment to protect your hair. Never use an oil serum on dry hair. Before you iron, use this sort of product on wet hair, dry then iron and use a little later on.

Serums on hair that has being ironed is like putting cooking oil on your hair as it literally “cooks” it.

And last but no means least, colour. It is a word used lightly because we are actually using chemicals to strip out your old natural colour and replace it with an artificial colour.

If not used correctly, not only can these chemicals give you an unwanted colour but can dry up your hair, or even destroy it altogether.

Most colour services are best left to the professionals, and if you must colour your hair at home, just remember that we don’t have a magic wand to put things right if you mess up!

So, to sum up, it’s No to not looking after your hair and Yes to listening to your stylist, who should always be at hand to give you advice and guidance on looking after your hair.

Don’t feel that you’re bothering us by asking questions because that’s what we are here for. But after the advice is given, make sure you use it.

Looking after your hair isn’t a chore. When you know the basics, it’s easy to get into a routine that will show the benefits of giving your locks some TLC!

Cereal is the healthiest way to start the day With many breakfast cereals packaged as health foods - perfect for weight-loss and growing kids alike - it is not surprising that many of us view them in this way.

However, this image is surprisingly inaccurate, as sugar levels in packaged cereals are often extremely high, even in the most “healthy”-sounding brands. A recent study by Which? found that only one of the 100 leading brands of cereals tested had healthy levels of fat, sugar and salt, while 22 of the cereals aimed at children contained more sugar per serving than a jam doughnut.

While it is true that many of these cereals are fortified with vitamins and minerals, these nutrients are better taken in their natural form if possible, so stocking up on foods naturally abundant in vitamins and minerals and low in sugar - such as oats, sugar free muesli, wholegrain bread or eggs -would be a healthier, more nutritious breakfast choice.

Healthy equals low fat Many people think that healthy food is low-fat food and vice versa - but this is actually not a valid equation. Firstly, many low-at foods are not actually all that healthy. Many ready-meals, yoghurts and snacks for example, are advertised as low-fat, but that does not make them healthy if they are actually full of salt, additives and sugar.

The second thing to consider is that all fats are not the same, and some are actually very healthy.

Mono-unsaturated fats, found in avocados, olive oil and nuts, can actually help weight loss, as well as keeping

your heart healthy and lowering cholesterol.

When comparing foods, it is important, therefore, to consider the type of fat in your foods - and also the food’s nutritional value - as well as quantities of fat.

Food intolerances are not the same as allergies Many people use the phrases “food allergy” and “food intolerance” as though they were interchangeable. However this is not the case.

Although many people believe they have food allergies, it is more likely they are suffering from food intolerance. While up to 45% of the UK population suffer from food intolerance, according to Allergy UK, allergies are a lot rarer, affecting only 1-2% of people.

And while they are less common, the effects of food allergies are also a lot more severe since they involve the immune system, which means that symptoms are often severe and can even be life-threatening. In contrast, food intolerances mainly involve the digestive system - with sufferers having trouble digesting food and symptoms, although uncomfortable and even painful, are never life-threatening.

Brown sugar is healthier than white sugar With many people longing for a way to indulge their sweet tooth and stay healthy at the same time, sugar is a common cause of misconceptions.

One theory that many buy into is the idea that brown sugar (in the way of brown bread and rice) is healthier than the white variety. But this is not true. Although brown sugar contains small traces of miner-

als (because of the presence of molasses), in reality they are such small traces that they are no real benefit to our health.

Also, at the end of the day, brown sugar is still sugar, and it brings with it all the same calories and health risks of white sugar, including increased the risk of heart disease, tooth decay and obesity.

Craving is your body’s way of saying it needs something A big misconception about food cravings is that they are our body’s way of telling us we are lacking a certain nutrient and need to remedy this immediately via a huge slab of chocolate cake (or your particular food of choice).

However, while this theory may help ease our guilt over giving in to cravings, it has yet to be proven true, and more recent research has suggested that food cravings are, in fact, all in the mind.

A study published in the journal Appetite has suggested that many people crave the foods that they most attempt to resist, such as junk food.

Research has also suggested that people simply crave the foods they are most exposed to and familiar with, which is demonstrated in that most people crave sugary, salty and fatty foods. Your body and mind will crave the foods they remember, only, meaning that eating a healthy, balanced diet with a little of what you fancy should help to reduce those junk food cravings.

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

The ‘killer’ threat to lonely old souls LONELINESS, the “hidden killer” among the elderly, is as great a threat to health as obesity or smoking.

That’s the verdict of a group of charities who have joined forces this week to launch the Campaign To End Loneliness, aimed at tackling isolation among older people.

Quick-fire paternity testing now available in the High Street BOOTS, the High Street chemist, is about to sell a new kit for testing paternity, which will provide accurate results.

The Assuredna test, already available in more than 350 independent pharmacies, promises results in one to five days.

Manufacturer Anglia DNA has laboratories accredited by the Ministry of Justice to carry out tests for courts in England and Wales.

Mandy Hartley, technical manager at Anglia DNA, said: “Every paternity issue is different but, for the majority of cases, families receive the results they were expecting.

“Assuredna provides fami-

lies with peace of mind, so that they can move on with their lives.

“Around half of all tests we conduct are related to children under 12 months, helping confirm paternity before the child has matured and is fully aware.”

For the test, samples of cells are collected by cotton swabs from the mouth of the father, child and mother.

These swabs are then placed in colour-coded envelopes and posted to Anglia DNA for analysis.

Both mother and father must sign forms giving their consent for the test and include proof of identity.

The test is available to anyone aged 16 or over and costs £29.99 to buy, plus a £129 lab fee.

04 February 2011 - 10 February 2011

Greater recognition is needed among health professionals of the two-way links between poor health and loneliness, added campaigners from the five organisations involved.

The initiative, being organised by Age UK Oxfordshire, Counsel And Care, Independent Age and WRVS, is funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

The group’s report, Safeguarding The Convoy - A Call To Action From The Campaign To End Loneliness, was published on Tuesday. It urges better awareness of the “horror” of loneliness and its “pernicious impact” on older people.

According to a YouGov poll carried out to support the launch, fewer than one in five people has ever seen or heard information about loneliness as a health risk.

Surprisingly, fewer than one in three who worked in

the health and social care professions said the same.

Andrew Barnett, director of the Calouste Gulbenkian

Foundation, the campaign’s founder funder, said: “Loneliness is something which affects us all, but it’s a

hidden killer among old folk.

“The older people are particularly vulnerable to becoming isolated, through loss of friends and family, loss of mobility or a reduction in income.”

He added: “We need to consider not just the practical but the emotional and psychological implications of growing numbers of older people within our communities.”

Loneliness blights the lives of about 10% of the elderly and weakens society, stressed the report. It also added that loneliness made it harder to moderate behaviour, leaving people more prone to drink excessively, have unhealthier diets or take less exercise.

Campaign director Laura Ferguson said the “serious risks” of loneliness were not being treated as an important-enough problem for public health.

Bombay Blue, Indian Restaurant

Food fit for an Emperor REGULAR readers will know that I’m not a fan of Indian cuisine, but, I must say that I think Bombay Blue has converted me! visited Bombay Blue in the Safari Centre in Playa de las Americas, Tenerife a number of weeks ago with a party of friends, who absolutely adore Indian.

The restaurant has been established for two years and Bombay Blue’s Head Chef, Abbas Safdar has created a gorgeous menu, with something that suits everyone’s taste buds, including mine.

Abbas uses two traditional Tandoor ovens to cook his classic dishes. Abbas was keen to highlight that his ovens actually use charcoal, not gas, to ensure that you get the authentic taste of India. This method of cooking ensures that the meat retains it flavour.

The Tandoori Indian cuisine in this Tenerife restaurant is

Page 42

lovingly prepared using the freshest of produce; the secret of this style of cooking lying in the base ingredients in which the meats are marinated – yoghurt, cream, ginger and a range of authentic herbs and spice.

A basket of papadums with homemade dips – mango chutney, mint and a fresh unique onion salad, a crucial accompaniment to any Indian meal are placed on your table while you peruse

the varied menu.

Whether it’s cool and creamy, sweet and sour or eye watering hot and spicy there is a dish to pleasure every palette. Even younger members of the family are catered for with their very own special menu.

For starters we chose chicken pakoras, succulent chicken covered in chick pea flour with a hint of Turmeric, then deep fried – my friend adored them, and was quite surprised that the starter was so large.

Two of us plumped for the Sheek Kebab, mixed lamb with herbs and spices, served sizzling on a bed of onions. The meat was so tender and the flavour of the meat devine.

Our other diner decided on vegetable samosa, like vegetable turn-overs which were so fresh and looked so delicate.

We were all suitably full after our first course, but as I enjoyed it so much I was so looking forward to the main and I wasn’t disappointed. I had gone for the Sashlik Chicken, chicken pieces tandoored with onions, tomatoes and capsicum served on a sizzler – well it was just to die for.

I don’t like sauces so for me this was perfect, and the taste was out of this world, not over powering, but so delicious. The rest of the party went for their favourites, Rogan Josh and Biryanies – no one was brave

enough to try the hottest of the hot dishes, but we all definitely enjoyed our selections.

There are loads of side dishes, vegetarian, rice and bread from which you will be hard pressed to choose, and such is the selection.

Desert is not something everyone associates with Indian, but Abbas prides himself on his exquisite homemade delicacies, he brought tasters of Kulfi and Gulab Jamun, for us to try, but by tis stage I managed a mouthful, and they were very refreshing, apparently these are most popular sweets in India.

Bombay Blue is located in the Safari Centre, parking is underneath and the restaurant has disabled access and toilet facilities.

Please don’t let the location put you off visiting as you think the menu is going to be pricey, it is definitely

value for money. Indian Takeaway is popular in the UK but nothing beats eating this fine Indian cuisine, eating off of gorgeous cutlery, crockery and glassware on crisp white linen table cloths.

Open daily from 5pm Bombay Blue is a large Indian restaurant and can cater for celebratory groups, boasting a large terrace area and inside you can dine against a back drop depicting Indian iconic images.

Whether you are a resident or a tourist Bombay Blue is definitely worth a visit, I will definitely being going back.

Aquarius (January 21st-February 19th) You don’t appear to be able to sit still as you are rushing around trying to do anything but deal with the matter that is on your mind. A new approach is needed to a problem in the home, and a surprise visitor should provide the input to the atmosphere that has been needed PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) You have the chance to recoup some of the money you have laid out in the past few weeks. Don’t push a family member for answers he/she doesn’t have. Time is the answer to a week in which a slower pace will serve you very well indeed. The Moon promises a most romantic proposal, so hold tight!

ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) Work is going to be offering you many challenges so, if you can pass the tests which are put before you in the coming week in a satisfactory way, then you should start to see a whole new array of options opening up for your future. Oh, and by the way, it’s well worth you putting in some overtime in the week ahead. And if you’re a mum at home, keep ploughing on and you will get your reward shortly.

TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) The stars are in a rather unfriendly aspect and will be going to great lengths to cause problems for you in relationships at the beginning of the new week. Try to take extra care with what you say in midweek. That’s because you may be hurting close ones more than you realise with your candour. You must know that you need direction, but there’s only one person who can advise you.

GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) There are so many things you want to say and do, but you

appear to be running around in circles.

Structure is what’s needed, and a Piscean who is set to enter your life has plenty of it to offer. The good news is that someone is finally ready to settle down and talk commitment with you.

CANCER (June 22ndJuly 23rd) Your love life is extremely complicated at the moment as you try to please everyone but yourself.

It is no use trying to say that you don’t have a problem in areas that are quite clearly causing you distress. To add to this, new romantic avenues open up via a weekend invite. It is certainly an opportune time for you, but watch your step and tread carefully.

LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) You must start looking at the real reasons behind the problems you have been having in your life or career. You are ready for bigger things and the longer you deny it, the more time you will be losing. Grant a younger person the space he/she is asking for and you are certain to be pleased with the results.

VIRGO (August 24thSeptember 23rd) Travel plans are in the stars for you, and many Virgos will be travelling away as you are given the chance to let go of the recent pressures that have beset you. Money dealings appear stressful on Wednesday because you are asked to hand over more cash

04 February 2011 - 10 February 2011

than you can spare. Compromise is the answer.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) It will be impossible for you not to have fun as you spread life and laughter all around. Those you have unfinished business with in love will find it difficult to get any real quality time away with you as the stars make you the centre of attention to all around. But you must make the effort, especially at work, where the boss is considering a healthy rise for you.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) No matter how appealing it may seem to be a little sneaky in a romantic matter, you really must resist. You may think you can get away with telling a lie, but somehow it will come back to haunt you - and you will not feel as though you deserve the break that is shortly forecast

C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) The weekend is your best time to act if you want to tie up any projects that link to business or personal matters.

That’s because Jupiter will be giving us all the insight we need to see other people’s points of view. Pluto provides empty promises on Monday, when false starts seem to be the order of the day.

Montenegro’s simply a breathtaking trip!

LOOKING for somewhere a bit different?

Then how about a trip to the world’s newest country?

Montenegro, declared independent in 2006, has a beautiful Adriatic coastline, which stretches for 295km, with 72 km of beaches, backed by craggy mountains, small coves and seaside towns like Ulcinj.

Inland, meanwhile, you’ll find more mountains, pine forests, lakes and canyons of the grand variety. And for more scenery likely to draw breath, there’s the Durmitor National Park.

It’s the country’s highest region, which is perfect for skiing in the winter and walking in the summer! Plus, there are historic, walled towns like Stari Bar, Budva and Kotor which are perfect for exploring.

Montenegro was a wellknown tourist spot in the Eighties. Yet, the Yugoslav wars which were fought in neighbouring countries during the following decade crippled the tourist industry and destroyed the image of Montenegro as a tourist destination.

It was not until the 2000s that the tourism industry began to recover, and the country has since experienced a high rate of growth in the number of visits and overnight stays.

The Montenegro Government’s top priority is to develop the country as an elite tourist destination, which will enable the industry to become a major contributor to the economy there.

A number of steps have been taken to attract foreign

Page 44

investors. Some large projects are already underway, such as Porto Montenegro, while other locations, like Jaz Beach, Buljarica, Velika Plaža and Ada Bojana, have the greatest potential to attract future investments and become premium tourist spots on the Adriatic.

Montenegro, which means Black Mountain, is located in south-east Europe. The coastline is to the south-west, and the country is bordered

by Croatia to the west, Bosnia and Herzegovina to the north-west, Serbia to the north-east and Albania to the south-east.

Its capital and largest city is Podgorica which, from 1918, was a part of various incarnations of Yugoslavia.

The National Geographic Traveller, which is updated

every 10 years, features Montenegro among the 50 Places of a Lifetime, and Montenegrin seaside Sveti Stefan was used as the cover for the magazine.

The coastal region is considered one of the great new “discoveries” among world tourists. And a year ago, the New York Times ranked the Ulcinj south-coast region, including Velika Plaza, Ada Bojana, and the Hotel Mediteran of Ulcinj, as among the Top 31 Places to Go in its worldwide tourism rankings.

Montenegro was also listed in 10 Top Hot Spots of 2009 to visit by Yahoo Travel, which described it as “The secondfastest growing tourism market in the world, just behind China”. It is listed every year by prestigious tourism guides like Lonely Planet as a top tourist

spot, along with Greece, Spain and other recognized international destinations.

Montenegro, the pearl of the Mediterranean, is unique in many ways. Nowhere else in such a small place can you find so much natural wealth, beauty, mild beaches, clear lakes, fast rivers and gorgeous mountains.

You can wake up along the beautiful Adriatic coast, have lunch on the banks of Skadar Lake, and enjoy the evening walks in the Montenegrin mountains.

Montenegro has many other remarkable characteristics: history, culture, tradition, good weather, clean air, beautiful nature, blue Adriatic Sea. And despite its small size, there are so many contrasts and so much natural beauty.

Don’t forget to take your

camera because every view is like a photo from your dreams. Just click and you’ll have the most beautiful selection of holiday photos.

With only about 670.000 citizens, its contribution to the world cultural heritage is impressive.

Beaches There’s no doubt that Montenegro’s coastline is wow-factor stuff, with beautiful, sandy stretches on the Lustica peninsula, as well as in Petrovac and on Sveti Stefan.

Sand aside, the pebbly beaches can be just as appealing, and that’s probably because most the coastline is backed by limestone mountains and green hillsides, packed with olive trees.

Top food and drink Food-wise, Montenegro has all the usual mix of places to

eat. There’s everything, from pizza joints and fast-food outlets to more traditional restaurants and taverns.

In terms of what to look out for, their smoked hams and cheeses are really good, while meats and seafood also feature heavily on hearty menus.

And make sure you try one of the local wines before you leave. The white Cabernets and Chardonnays are lovely, as are the reds, Vranac and Pro Corde.

Top evening flavour If you’re after some decent nightlife, you’re best off in the larger towns and cities.

Busy bars, trendy jazz clubs and slick discos are all on the radar, although it’s also easy to find something more low key, particularly in Becici, where beachfront cafés are the order of the day.

But for a real after-dark fix, get over to Budva. It is known as the Montenegrin Miami, and has open-air clubs along the prom and a buzzing hub of hang-outs in the aptlynamed Bar Street.

Top shopping Montenegro’s not renowned for its shopping credentials, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to browse. The market towns sell a huge variety of fruit and veg, as well as meat, fish and cheese. There are also cheap clothes and household stuff.

Away from the markets, the old town of Herceg Novi is well known for its art galleries and jewellery, while Podgorica also has a number of shopping centres.

So, for an exquisite holiday with a real difference, you won’t do better than a trip to beautiful Montenegro.

Ferrari’s mind-reading act!

SO you believe your car really has got a mind of its own? Well think on, because Ferrari are developing a system which has the vehicle actually reading your mind!

According to a patent application by Ferrari, the company are working on technology which will allow a car to monitor the driver’s physical and mental state-of-being on a continuous basis, and adjust various electronic safeguards to reduce the chances of a crash.

But don’t think this is just some kind of drowsiness detection that alerts you when you’re falling asleep, such as that offered by Mercedes-Benz.

On the contrary, this system will actually adjust the traction and stability control devices in accordance with your psychological and physical condition.

Modern Ferraris have advanced stability-control systems that have a number of levels of control, ranging from earlier cut-in for regular driving to a mode tailored for

Ferrari’s Italia 458 could be programmed to detect your mood

race-track driving. They even have a mode which switches the electronic handling aids off to allow experienced drivers full control.

According to this particular application, however, the system will collect its data via numerous psychometric and biometric sensors planted

throughout the cabin. These will measure the driver’s heart rate, blood pressure and respiration, while a camera will gauge his/her alertness via the blink rate of the eyes.

And there’s more” The inventor/scientists have even dreamed up a device that can monitor the brain’s electric

activity, and another that can sense the amount of body perspiration. Luckily, they also intend to make the sensors as non-invasive as possible.

Ferrari also state the reasoning behind such technology. They are worried about drivers who overestimate their driving ability and psy-

chophysical state.

As a result, the vehicle performance parameters they select reflect their desires rather than their actual proficiency at the time.

While this might all sound as though Ferrari are trying to put a “virtual nanny” into your supercar, the application also

claims that the system could actually enhance the car’s settings for increased driving pleasure when it deems the person behind the wheel to be alert.

Crash-avoidance technology is a major area of development in new cars. Volvo have already developed a system that can detect pedestrians, and can apply the brakes automatically to avoid them.

Various luxury brands also have self-braking systems to avoid crashing into another vehicle, while Mercedes-Benz have a more advanced lanedeparture system.

This senses when a car is wandering from its lane and gently applies brakes to one side to gradually “steer” the car back into the correct lane.

Supercar manufacturers such as Ferrari don’t like their cars to take control away from the driver. But at the same time, they’re obviously keen to ensure they are at the forefront of advanced technology that can reduce the chances of a crash.

It’s not known where or how soon such technology could be applied to a production car, although it is unlikely to be in the near future. Still, it’s worth knowing, isn’t it?

It’s crystal-clear for a spoiled brat!

FOR the spoiled kid who has everything except a driving licence, of course this is the ultimate toy car.

The 1:18 scale MercedesBenz SLS AMG is covered in Swarovski crystals and costs a huge £1,500, which shouldn’t bother daddy too much!

The Merc mini-replica was unveiled at last week’s Olympia Toy Fair in London,

and 250 examples only have been made, many of which are already on sale at posh shops Harrods and Hamleys.

Each car is created by renowned die-cast modelmaker Maisto and swalllows up over 7,800 crystals for the bodywork.

A numbered certificate of authenticity is included, and each one comes in a black leatherette box, though you’d have thought the makers could have stretched to real

04 February 2011 - 10 February 2011

leather at that price.

By way of price comparison, the only other Maisto model currently featured at Hamleys is a 1:10 scale model of the G-Ridez Beetle, which

costs just £47.

The company also make a crystal Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 which, like the Merc, is on sale at Harrods for £1,500. The full-sized

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, with a 6.2-litre V8 engine and 563bhp, can race to 60mph in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 197mph.

That may be a step too far

for even a rich daddy at this stage of his child’s development. But I expect he’ll cough up the dosh for the equivalent model when the brat is old enough!

Nino is CDT’s Girona hero CD Tenerife 3 Girona 3 ANOTHER draw! That’s four on the trot and the third at home in seven days, which is not good enough for a side rooted to the bottom of the table.

But scratch the surface and this could be the point that keeps Tenerife up.

It’s always a roller-coaster supporting Tenerife, and this was another thriller. After the disappointments against Las Palmas and Granada, where points were tossed away late on, this was a pleasant fightback.

Tenerife took the lead early on through Pablo Sicilia, but

found themselves 3-1 down on the hour mark and playing one short after an early bath for goalkeeper Aragoneses.

Sloppy defending and some poor decisions had given Tenerife a mountain to climb. But there have been more than a few green shoots of recovery under new boss Antonio Tapia to suggest that all is not lost.

Tenerife rolled up their sleeves, Nino struck twice late on and then, deep into injury-time, he blew a chance for the match-ball and all three points.

So a point gained after three matches of seeing two points lost, or a fixture being thrown away? Of course, but as always, at a price.

Sergio Aragoneses is suspended for this weekend's

match at Salamanca and Calamity Luis Garcia takes over.

But Tenerife look to be a yard fitter and certainly more organised at the moment. And with half the season still to go, they are only five points from safety.

It sounds a lot but it’s two wins. The sides around Tenerife are poor and, taken at face value, four matches without defeat is excellent at this stage of the campaign.

They have also started to score goals. As you can tell, I’m a glass is half-full fella!

This weekend, CDT face a Salamanca side who have fallen off a cliff. They started the season with a bang and looked as though they would be a promotion-chasing side.

They played Tenerife off the park at the Heliodoro, but they have gone into free-fall since November.

They have lost their last eight matches, a club record, and last week’s loss to

Page 46

Cordoba was the worst of the lot.

Tenerife should travel with confidence, but they will be without Ricardo through injury. Mikel Alonso will replace him and it will be interesting to see how many of the new signings see action.

Dubarbier has already seen game time, but will there be debuts for Richie Kitoko and Igor de Souza?

Kitoko is a Congolese-born, Belgium Under-21 international midfielder. He started at Standard Liege before a decent spell at Albacete.

From there he moved to Udinese in Italy, before being loaned to Granada.

There, he helped his side earn promotion to the Second Division before a series of injuries saw him out of favour. When Granada signed Real Betis’ Balsas from under the nose of Tenerife, he was offered as a “sorry”.

He pitches up in Santa Cruz

with much to prove, but at 22 he could be anything.

That can’t be said of new striker de Souza. The Brazilian has been around the track more times than a greyhound bunny. Tenerife is his sixth side in as many seasons.

He is tall, 6ft 3in, and is being brought in as a battering ram or foil for Nino. But Tenerife have been here before with big men.

Remember Mikel Arruabarrena? He was a disaster in 2007 and was last sighted at Leganes.

Then there is “El Burro”.

Raul Sanchez - comfortably the worst player I’ve seen in a Tenerife shirt. Igor has plundered just three goals this season ... in a division below!

The Pontevedra fans are said to be sad to see him leave. That could be Spanish humour. Either way, it’s not a signing to get the blood pumping.

Especially when you see

how busy Recreativo, Nastic, Albacete and even Las Palmas have been in the transfer market. It’s almost as though the lessons of last season have not been learned.

Tenerife face some massive matches over the next few weeks. High-flying Rayo Vallecano are in town on Sunday week, before tough trips to Celta Vigo and Cartagena sandwich the home scrap with Xerez.

Midfielder Julio Alvarez remains positive, telling the media this week that there is still belief. “The spirit in the camp is high,” he said.

“We were delighted to fight back against Girona. Of course, we were disappointed to be in that situation, but it is a point gained. We know we are good enough to go to Salamanca and get a point.

“That is the objective. A win would be amazing, but if we fly back without defeat, we will be delighted.”

THE football transfer window is now closed! And over in Silencio, the window was firmly closed at Ourplace Flukers after reigning champions Bar 180 A slammed a firm seven points into their hosts.

Target B entertained leaders Nauta A but sadly missed the deadline with a 6-2 loss, while the Tenerife Sons had their contracts renewed following a 7-1 victory at Strikers.

Exiles negotiated a new deal with a 5-3 win over the Silver Surfers, and Toscales Allsorts had to call their agents after

Elsewhere, Sundowners and the X-Men put pen to paper and signed a 4-4 draw, while Ensecan got an improved offer after getting the better of Heroes 5-3. Division 2 leaders Barracudarts Boys almost lost their unbeaten record. They had to use some good bargaining power to take the trebles leg to scrape a draw with Bar 180 B. No need for a press conference at Nauta Nutters as they whitewashed the Phoenix Flames, and Gaffers

By Geoff Huxtable

Scotland sneak international victory the opening rubber at the Palms Bar last Friday. They battled back from four frames down to produce a famous 25-21 win. This gave the home side a major confidence boost, but they came crashing down to earth the following evening at Legends Bar in Los Cristianos. The Scots flew out of the traps and rode their luck to lead 5-0, which swiftly became 9-1.

Tenerife restored a little late pride, but the 30-16 scoreline levelled the contest. The Terrace Bar, on Amarilla Golf,

hosted the decider last Sunday afternoon and again the Scots made a fine start.

They took advantage of a few home nerves and again held the early advantage.

But the hosts regrouped and, as the confidence returned, they led 11-10 before the mid-session break.

From there on it was nip and tuck with a large crowd enjoying the electric atmosphere.

At the death, Scotland edged into a 23-20 lead. But Tenerife, knowing they had to win all three final matches,

roared back and 23-21 swiftly became 23-22. So, after three days and 138 frames, it came down to the very last frame, which the Scotland boys took to retain the trophy by the narrowest of margins.

It was an amazing weekend and the challenge was played in the best spirit. Both sides were a credit to their leagues.

Vinnie the Spaniard was voted the away player of the tournament while Jambo took the home honours.

The event continues to go from strength to strength

Palms A finally lose the last unbeaten record stumbled 7-3. This reduced their lead to just a point over Summerland Superstars, who beat Men of Atlantis. Phoenix Knights lost their proud unbeaten home record as they were spanked 8-2 by the improving Tenerife Hammers A. There were also wins for Terrace A, Bar 180 B, Allstars

Dbles 45 45 47 35 30 37 29 30 26 23 28 20 22 19 9 16 15 17

and Dreamers, who eased their relegation worries with a 9-1 thrashing of La Caña.

Target and Nauta A drew in Los Cristianos.

It is all change at the top of Division Two, and Gaffers are the new leaders after beating Palms B 8-2 and leaping over Legends B, who are wobbling

big-time. They crashed 7-3 to Tenerife Hammers C, but Bar Tasca and Bar 180 C are still in the hunt after vital wins.

This Tuesday (8th Feb) sees the second round of the Knockout Cup and the first round of the consolation Plate event. The matches are: Liberty Seguros Cup, 2nd round

Toscales v Phoenix Knights Summerland Allstars v Bar 180 B Hoops v Target Bar Terrace Bar A v Ten Hammers A Palms Bar A v Summerland Superstars Bar 180 C v Trap Door Gaffers v Bar 180 A

and we are already looking forward to, and planning, next year’s contest.

The organisers would like to thank all the players for making the event such a success. Michael and Noelle from the Palms, Graham from Legends and Andy and Adi from the Terrace Bar for all their help and hospitality, Oasis Fm and Liberty Seguros for the sponsorship, plus all the supporters and the Scotland lads for coming over. We will have that trophy next year!
