Fugitive arrested in Tenerife, just hours after new Crimestoppers’ list is published

JUST hours after his photograph appeared on a new list of Britain’s “Most Wanted” fugitives, Everardus Wijtvliet (bottom right) was captured by police on Monday night in Puerto de la Cruz.

Someone recognised him from the photograph published on the Crimestoppers website and reported him to the Spanish National Police’s Greco Team.

The 39-year-old Dutch national is wanted in the UK on

drug offences, after being arrested in 2009 on charges of organising the transportation of large quantities of cocaine and heroin.

Incredibly, another listed runaway was captured by police on Wednesday morning by police in Alhuarin, near Malaga.

Dean Lawrence Rice, 49, from Exeter, was convicted of conspiracy to kidnap and false imprisonment in his absence and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Dozens of fugitives once enjoyed a life of luxury in Spain and the Canaries, where they sweated in the scorching sun and walked around with

impunity. Today, many of them are in prison, serving long terms, while the others are sweating for other reasons.

They will be aware that officers from Operation Captura the UK crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers, together with the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) - are closing in on them.

That is why some of the UK’s most dangerous criminals will be looking even more anxiously over their shoulders in the coming weeks.

Dave Cording, Director of Operations at Crimestoppers, said: “This is a truly incredible result in the very early stages of the latest list being released

- and a testament to the public’s contribution to catching Britain’s most wanted criminals.

“Having these individuals in the public’s gaze means they can run but they can’t hide forever because someone, somewhere, will recognise them for what they are.

“The public is one of the greatest weapons in the fight against crime and again, people are helping us help track down the most-wanted individuals, who are sought in connection with some violent, sexual and highly-organised crimes.”

Included on the new “Roll of Dishonour” is Anthony Fraser,

grandson of notorious, oldtime gangster“Mad” Frankie Fraser (top middle).

He is wanted by the Metropolitan Police in connection with a £5m haul of cannabis discovered in Grays, Essex in March 2009.

The 39-year-old is thought to have fled to Spain after a police raid uncovered the drugs in a storage unit, hidden in a lorry supposed to be carrying frozen chickens.

Since the Crimestoppers campaign launched in October 2006, there have been 50 “wanted persons” appeals.

Many of the 38 fugitives apprehended since then are now serving lengthy prison

sentences for their crimes, which range from drug-trafficking to sex crimes to murder.

The latest appeal was revealed this week in Alicante, where there is a large British ex-pat community and is known to be a potential hideout for fugitives.

Ken Gallagher, Head of European Operations for SOCA, said: “Operation Captura is helping make the ex-pat community in Spain an uncomfortable place for fugitives.

“Having the public’s attention focused on these individuals goes a long way to making it harder for them to hide, and should act as a warning that Continued on page 3.

Welfare is ‘our main objective’ JOSÉ LUIS Rodríguez Zapatero in Congress advocated that social policies have always been the “concern and preference share” of his government.

The Prime Minister has appeared before the full House of Representatives to inform them of the development and future of social policies in Spain.

Zapatero has stressed that “the state spends more than 4,700 euros per capita to such policies almost triple in real terms for thirty years.”

As he explained in 1980 was devoted to education, health and pensions for 14% of GDP, whereas now the figure rises to over 21%.

The Chief Executive noted that since 2004 the purchasing power to gain the minimum retirement pension to a dependent spouse was 27% and in the case of widows with dependents, 50%.

He also added that the minimum wage has risen more than 17% in real terms, gradually moving from 460 euros per month in 2004 to 641 euros today.

In education, the Prime Minister recalled that the State’s resources have increased by 86% since 2004.

For the first time in its history, Spain more than 5% of its GDP spending on education.

The president stressed that the number of scholarship students has reached a total of 1,700,000, and the average amount of grants has increased by 60%.

The government has completed the public coverage in the education of 3 to 5 years.

The president also stressed that 39% of people between 30 and 34 already have higher education, compared to 32% of the European Union.

With regard to health, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero said that health financing now exceeds 70,000 million per

Spain is no safe haven for British criminals.”

Crimestoppers and SOCA work closely with the British Embassy in Madrid, and also with British and Spanish lawenforcement agencies.

The campaign highlights appeals for information on individuals facing prosecution in the UK, who have European Arrest Warrants issued against them.

Information given to Crimestoppers, anonymously if necessary, can help locate these criminals, so that arrests can be carried out by the Spanish police.

Calls to the Spanish 900 555 111 telephone number are answered in the UK by Crimestoppers’ call agents, and a translation service is available. People in the UK should call 0800 555 111 or visit the website www.crimestoppers-uk.org Some 21 people are arrested and charged every day as a

result of information given to Crimestoppers. Since the organisation began in 1988, it has received over one million actionable calls, resulting in over 100,000 arrests and charges. Property worth over £114 million, and drugs worth more than £203 million, have also been recovered.

In 2005, Crimestoppers launched the UK’s “Most Wanted” on its website, which allows the public to view images of criminals and pass on vital information about their whereabouts. It has been highly successful, with over 1,000 arrests to date from over 5,000 appeals posted.

Crimestoppers UK was founded by Lord Ashcroft, KCMG, Chairman of Trustees. In 1988, he launched Crimestoppers in the Metropolitan Police area.

Needless to say, it has enjoyed tremendous success right from the start, thanks to the hawk-eyed public.

year for all Public Administrations, which represents an increase of more than 50% since 2004.

In addition to these advances, the chief executive reminded the new social policies implemented by the Government and the Law Unit, the Gender Equality, which favors reconciliation between work and family life, the safeguard of women battered, paternity leave, the policies of integration of immigrants and housing policy with the initiation of more than half a million public housing since 2004, a 50% annual average in previous years, he concluded.

Regardless of the progress described by the president in social policy, in its view, “the greatest effort made by the Government during these years of crisis has been designed to promote employment and unemployment protection,” as is “ key factor of social integration of citizens. “ While the president has recognized that the scope of unemployment, “the numbers are very hard,” said that “we must do everything to encourage job creation and we must also do everything to protect those who lose their jobs.”

Employment is the president has said, “the top priority, the first priority” of all the economic and social policies promoted by the Government.

Among the initiatives undertaken by his government, citing the launch of Prodi, the Program Temporary Unemployment Protection and Integration, which he said has benefited about 790,000 people. “A programmatic Rodriguez Zapatero pointed out, that is continued in the emergency plan for employment approved by the Council of Ministers on February 11.“ Although advances in social cohesion has been important, “is not a situation that must lead to complacency, since the construction of our welfare state can not be far from finished.”

And this went on, because we face two challenges, if not overcome, could call into question the sustainability of progress. The first production model is to achieve a “competitive and sustainable” and the second the social model itself is capable of responding to demographic changes and the full incorporation of women into the labor market.

To achieve these objectives requires, in his opinion,

achieving a “sustainable and sustained economic growth”, which requires improving the competitiveness of the Spanish economy and complete “with success” the overall process of reform which the Government is committed.

To meet new challenges, the president highlighted the New Social Agenda being developed by the Government, in order, “he said responding to the challenges ahead and do it from the criteria of” austerity, efficiency, loyalty and cooperation between administrations “.

The Social and Economic Agreement signed recently between the Government and social partners, answered, argued Rodríguez Zapatero, to the principles of this New Social Agenda and lays the foundation for two key political reform of the welfare state current and future: pensions and employment policies.

Along with the emergency plan to promote stable employment and reform of employment policies, the Government, has said the president incorporates other four priorities: education, conciliation, housing and health policy (see attachment).

A DANGEROUS drugs baron, last seen in Tenerife, continues to evade capture more than a decade after fleeing the country.

The reported sighting of Mark Lilley, who skipped bail during a trial in 2000 at Bolton Crown Court, was in Playa de Las Americas, in 2003.

A policeman on holiday there - by coincidence a former schoolfriend of the fugitive - spotted him behind the wheel of a Mercedes.

Police flew out to Tenerife immediately, but found no trace of him.

Lilley was sentenced in his absence to a 23-year jail term for conspiracy to supply drugs but has never been brought to justice.

Detectives believe the exgas fitter, formerly of Earlestown, on Merseyside, fled to Spain immediately, and it emerged this week that the 6ft, 20-stone body-

builder remains on Crimestoppers’ list of the Most Wanted Spanish-based fugitives.

The Crimestoppers website lists a number of aliases used

by Lilley such as Coney, TJ, Fatboy, Big Vern and Mandy.

Lilley, who has two small scars between the little finger and ring fingers of his right hand, was convicted in April 2000 of conspiracy to supply cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, amphetamines and cannabis resin, along with a firearms offence.

Drugs totalling £1.2 million were seized from homes as part of police raids, and detectives bugged Lilley’s home in a bid to obtain evidence.

In 2002, he failed in an audacious appeal bid to get his sentence quashed. He gave instructions to his barrister, via a mobile phone, but never attended court.

Posters of the runaways, with crosses marking the faces of those captured have been issued. Tellingly, Lilley’s image is clear!

A WORD FROM OUR EDITOR

Ryanair opens Toughest place more routes to serve a cuppa

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

It’s funny how little snippets of news set you chuckling. I’ve been watching the ‘Beeb’s’ hour-long documentaries on Sunday evenings after Top Gear, ´The toughest place to be a…’ so far we’ve had Paramedic, Bus Driver and then finally this week it’s a Midwife.

It’s a good programme to see how the other half work.

Not long after I saw the story about the Queen looking for a travel adviser (see page 44) so I looked at the Royal website and saw these other two jobs and laughed to myself.

So if you’re good at pouring a cuppa it could be for you.

The jobs are located in Buckingham Place, reporting to the Master of the Household’s Office which is the largest department in the Royal Household, with over 250 employees.

The Department is responsible for all hospitality, catering and housekeeping arrangements for official and private entertaining at all the Royal residences.

The description states you will “Join the team responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the Staff Restaurant and wash-up areas and equip-

ment in accordance with the Health and Hygiene Regulations to ensure the smooth operation of the Staff Restaurant.”

Starting salary is c.£14,200.00 for a forty hour week and accommodation is available so you can live in.

“You must be willing to work away from London for up to 2 months of the year. The successful candidate will be punctual, reliable, able to work well in a team and have a flexible and willing attitude.

Although based at Buckingham Palace, the successful candidates will also be required to travel and work at other Royal residences in the UK and occasionally at weekends, as well as work away for up to two months of the year” The second position is the funniest, I appreciate someone has to do it; “You will join the team responsible for arranging trays for tea and coffee, breakfast and other service requirements.

You will ensure trays are set with the correct glass and porcelain and that drinks and food items are prepared and presented to the highest standards.”

So if you fancy becoming part of the Royal Household applications close on the 27th February.

Perhaps we ought to start a list of the strangest/funniest jobs in Tenerife.

Until next week…

LOW-COST airline Ryanair has announced it will be operating a weekly flight between the Tenerife South Airport and Derry in Northern Island, beginning on April 19th.

Luis Fernández-Mellado, Ryanair’s chief of Sales in Spain stated that with this new des-

tination there are now 16 Ryanair routes into Tenerife’s southern Reina Sofia Airport in 2011.

“This of course suggests a notable increase in the flow of tourists and thus a significant economic growth in the sector on the Island of Tenerife,” said

Fernández-Mellado, adding that now travelers in Northern Island can reserve their tickets, “And come and enjoy the attractions and the sun and sea that Tenerife has to offer.”

Ryanair also operates seven national routes within Spanish territory, to Seville, Santander,

Santiago de Compostela, Valencia and Zaragoza, to name a few.

To celebrate the opening of the new route from Derry Airport, Ryanair offered tickets for a few hours at just eight Euros right across their network of routes.

British child cries for help A LITTLE girl of just eight years of age has been caught up in a domestic dispute that has left her mother injured and her father in custody.

The sad event took place last week, in the early hours

one morning at around 3.30am when the girl made her way down to the reception of the Atlántida apartments in Los Cristianos, asking the receptionist for help because her parents were in the apartment, fighting.

According to the receptionist, the child was very upset, and so she raised the alarm

with local police, reporting an incident of spousal abuse.

Officers quickly arrived at the complex.

According to a source close to the investigation, police soon arrested the father, 49year-old Mark P.W. from London.

The mother, A.E.S. also born in London and aged 32, was in

a very distressed state and showed signs of injury on her neck and chest. The victim told police she was prepared to press charges and she and her daughter were then taken to a medical centre in Los Cristianos for treatment.

At press time the accused was awaiting a court appearance.

Piqué’s tango with Mango!

BARCELONA centre-back Gerard Piqué, who won a World Cup-winer’s medal with Spain last year, is the new face of Mango’s fashion line H.E. for 2011.

Page 04

The young footballer’s success and professionalism persuaded Mango to sign him up..

Mango said Piqué was the” perfect embodiment of the

type of man the brand wants to dress: young, with bags of personality, carefree and with his own style”.

This latest signing by the men’s fashion brand, which

had previously used models only for its campaigns, brings it more in line with the group strategy of using well-known faces to front its ad campaigns.

First meeting of the Leisure Group

Students are in line for grants SANTIAGO del Teide Town Council will be issuing student grants at the Town Hall tomorrow (Saturday).

The Councils of Education and Culture say they apply to students who have to travel outside the Municipality, and who have also applied previously.

The grants are issued on the basis of the expenses students incur by continuing their education.

Those enrolled in Further Education

colleges, studying a trade or attending university are granted funds by the Council to assist with renting accommodation, moving fees, travelling costs and the like.

These payments are made annually and are available to students registered on the Municipality’s “padron”, which is the census of who and how many people live in each borough.

They can be applied for at Santiago del Teide Town Hall just inquire at the Education or Culture Department.

TF-1 to be given 1m-euro facelift TWO resurfacing projects, costing more than one million euros, are on the cards for the TF-1.

Mayor of Arona José Alberto González Reverón, Tourism Councillor Ángel David Herrera and President of the Restaurants and Leisure Association Javier Cabrera, got together recently to release a press statement regarding the outcome of their first ‘round table’ meeting.

The meeting was designed to be the first of many that will tackle the issues of promoting and encouraging entertainment and leisure in the Municipality, both during

the day and at night.

According to the joint statement, the first meeting dealt with issues related to urban locations, in concrete terms the issuing of opening and work licenses, which can be complicated, said Cabrera. In turn the local government promises to simplify the process as much as possible.

Also on the table for discussion are the ever-present concerns regarding noise in the tourist zones. Apparently, the Town Hall has developed a

‘noise map’ of the Municipality to aid in finding the right balance between entertainment for visitors and rest for residents.

González Reverón and Herrera stated “The profile of the average tourist visiting Arona has changed in recent years and for us, as a destination, we have to get the young tourist back.

“For this reason we obviously have to upgrade this sector, that of entertainment, leisure and in future meetings we

plan to put something more solid together that deals with this issue, so we can add value to Arona as a destination.”

For his part, Javier Cabrera considers the meetings to be “An answer from the Town Council in terms of their concerns regarding the leisure issue.”

He also referred to the positive introduction of the gastronomy guide recently put out by the Council as an example of how to promote a section of the tourism industry.

Several parts of the motorway will be resurfaced and the on-ramp heading to Santa Cruz from the Granadilla Industrial zone, (Polígono Industrial de Granadilla) will be extended and widened.

The Tenasfaltos SA company, which has been contracted to do the job, will lay the asphalt on the most worn and uneven sections, many of which support over 50,000 vehicles every day. The work will carried out at night and is expected to take two months.

As for the on-ramp at exit A, this section is where the traffic is made up mainly of heavy vehicles travelling to and from the industrial site.

The ramp will be lengthened to 200m, giving the trucks adequate space and time to accelerate and safely join the flow of traffic on the TF-1.

Traysesa SL has been contracted to do the job, which will include resurfacing, drainage and the locating of numerous extra metal barriers.

This initiative is included in the Cabildo’s 27m-euro-plus extra investment in job creation, although 90% of the projects covered by this sum will be undertaken by private companies.

Missing Brit ignored avalanche warning Touch-Screens come A HUGE battalion of soldiers were this week hunting for a British mountaineer buried in an avalanche in Spain’s Sierra Nevada mountain range - after a “very high” risk warning.

As we went to press yesterday (Thursday), 42-year-old father-of-one John Hogbin, a resident of Zafarraya, Granada, for 30 years, was still missing despite the fiveday search. And his family admit it would be “almost a miracle” to find him alive.

His two companions, both 43-year-old Spaniards, climbed out from under the

snow on their own and suffered only minor injuries.

Cetursa, the company which runs the ski resort,,had warned that heavy rain on Saturday night, following a huge snowfall earlier in the week,

meant there was a “very high” risk of an avalanche.

Two snow ploughs from the Sierra Nevada ski resort were continuing with their work to move the snow yesterday and had extended their search area.

This improvement forms part of the programme known as Tenerife Digital, in which touch-screens have been set-up at the tourist information office in the airport to provide better service to visitors.

First Vice President of the Tenerife Cabildo and Tourism chief José Manuel Bermúdez, said, “From the point of view of Tenerife Tourism, we are always look-

ing for more ways to use new technologies to improve our service to visitors, and this is a perfect example of that philosophy in action,” he said.

“We are trying to make sure that the visitor to our shores has all the information about what we have to offer them, right at their fingertips, so they can enjoy the best holiday possible,” he concluded.

Tenerife Digital is a vanguard project developed by the Cabildo and Tenerife Tourism back in 2008 and is designed to modernise as much as possible the network of services offered to visitors. The new information office at the Reina Sofia South Airport that is to open soon is also included in the project.

The occasion was marked by a visit from Arona Mayor José Alberto González Reverón and Antonio Sosa, the Arona Councilor for Town Planning.

The work was co-financed by the Cabildo and the Town Council and represents the third stage in the development of the infrastructure network in the rapidly growing town. Not only sanitation needs were addressed, but

also water supply, drainage, and telephone and communications cables. The road then received a new coat of asphalt.

POLICE are stepping up their activities in the Torviscas Baja area of Adeje in an attempt to bring an end to the noisy habit of drinking and partying outdoors, known in Spanish as ‘botellón’.

The major areas of concern are in the residential areas of Oro Verde and Parque Royale and operations to put a stop to the behaviour began two weeks ago. Over the course of the two weekend periods, almost 50 people were fined at least 300 Euros by police for consuming alcohol outdoors.

The announcement comes

from local Councilor Marcos Barrera, who commented that the operation required 35 officers, from the Guardia Civil, National Police and the Local force.

Following its successful outcome, the police will be back on the streets this weekend, making sure that revelers keep the party in the house.

Several luxury hotels are

located in the vicinity and a number of the noise complaints originated from holidaymakers staying there.

Over the years, hundreds of complaints have come in to the authorities complaining of noise and rowdy behaviour.

Councilor Barrera said, “We will continue this highly effective action for as long as it takes to put a stop to this worrying situation.”

Rambling Gaddafi speaks on state AS WE GO to print the first Britons to land back in the UK from Libya have described the “hellish” scenes they encountered in the violence-torn country. Meanwhile, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi has spoken on state television, amid further clashes and protests in Libya.

The statement, which he made over the phone to a television presenter in the town of Zawiya, marks the third time Gaddafi has spoken out since uprisings began.

Fierce fighting raged in the town between his forces and rebels as he spoke.

In the rambling speech, Gaddafi blamed a “bunch of youths” for the protests and said they were being given drugs in their coffee.

He also blamed the uprisings on Osama bin Laden.

“You in Zawiya turn to Bin

Laden,” he said. “They give you drugs.”

Gaddafi also offered his condolences to those who had died in the unrest, calling them “Libya’s children”.

He added: “Whoever is pulling the strings has to be apprehended and detained.

“People who have taken to the streets are just a bunch of youths that have been misled and lied to.

“I call on the people of Libya to get out of their houses and confront and face this bunch of people.

“If men are not brave

enough to go out and face the enemy on the street, then maybe they should let their women and daughters go out instead.”

Violent protests have continued to spread across the country, and several people have reportedly been killed by pro-Gaddafi forces near the town of Misratah.

A witness, who only wanted to be identified as Mohamed, said a unit of paramilitary forces controlled by one of Gaddafi’s sons, Khamis, attacked near Misratah airport.

“Khamis’s brigade launched a violent attack on protesters near the airport this morning at around 10:30 (0830 GMT).

“The brigade has managed to control the site but we are still trying to push it back,” he said.

Rebels to the east of Tripoli are now said to be in control of key Libyan oil and product terminals.

Benghazi residents said the terminals at Ras Lanuf and Marsa El Brega were being protected.

A further blow to Gaddafi came as his cousin and one of his closest aides, Ahmed Gadhaf al-Dam, defected to Egypt in protest against the regime’s bloody crackdown on protesters.

Gaddafi’s son, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, has also spoken on Libyan television, and denied the government had launched airstrikes against Libyan cities.

He also claimed reports of the number of protesters killed have been exaggerated.

Here comes the judges GUIA DE ISORA has just played host to some 20 judges, lawyers and lawenforcement personnel for the benefit of law and order in South Tenerife.

“The IX Meeting of Justice and Security of the Arona Courts” was organised by Guia de Isora Justice of the Peace Jorge Vargas. Among the visiting dignitaries were Judge Nelson Díaz Frías and lawyer Mónica Arias Robles. Also present were members of the local police, the Guardia Civil and National Police from Arona, Adeje, Guia de Isora and Santiago del Teide, as well as representatives of the autonomous police force of the Canarias.

The meeting was aimed at bringing together the various administrative law entities in the south of the Island.

JP Vargas said: “The most important goal of these meetings is to assemble all the elements involved, from police to town councils. In this way, we can continue to advance and

improve our services as a whole for the benefit of the general public.”

The meeting was held in Guia de Isora in the hope that the local conditions could be made plain, focusing particularly on the facilities and services on offer to the young people in the Municipality.

The visit kicked off at a youth centre in Playa San Juan, where the officials were met by Guia de Isora Mayor Pedro Martín.

Next, the group made their way to Guia de Isora town, where they assembled in the local auditorium to watch one of more than 5,000 documentary films entered in the borough’s recent International Documentary Film Festival.

Afterwards, under the guidance of Youth Councillor Raquel Gutiérrez, the group discussed the issue of policies regarding the younger members of the community.

The day finished off with a luncheon at a local restaurant, where the consensus of opinion was that the meeting had been a great success and that those involved felt bettertuned to the needs and circumstances of the area’s population.

Summer holiday campaign announced AS SPRING starts to make itself felt here in Tenerife, many are turning their thoughts towards the summer break, and what to do with the children!

This year the Tenerife Cabildo has decided to offer 410 places for youngsters in their 2011 Summer Campaign.

Organised by the Youth, Education and Equality

Department, the places will be distributed across 10 different camps. Each will focus on a variety of subjects, including studying English, adventure play and the world of science, all designed for children between the ages of 8 and 13 years old.

The 2011 Summer Campaign specifically aims to help chil-

dren learn how to interact with each other, to become environmentally responsible and aware and enjoy new experiences that will enrich their lives. The project has been allocated a budget of 233,000 euros and was just approved in a recent Cabildo sitting, in the presence of President Ricardo Melchior.

Correction: Polish Tourist Drowning Thanks to an observant reader, we are able to correct an error made in our report regarding the drowning of a Polish Tourist. He was not, in fact, walking on the beach as reported, but rather was on the seafront area adjacent to the Puerto Santiago Plaza. As our reader points out, we do not wish to add to the concerns of residents, tourists and businesses in the area and regret the inaccuracy of the report.

The Canarian unemployment More than one-sixth of families in the Canary Islands at the end of last year were experiencing all of their families out of work.

For the fifth consecutive

quarter, the Canary Islands as a Spanish region have a higher percentage of households with all their family members in unemployment.

The study also reveals that in

the Canary Islands, 48.9 percent of the population have been unemployed for over a year looking for a job unsuccessfully; which is way above the national average that

stands at 45.9 percent.

Interestingly the unemployment rate of foreigners in the Canary Islands is 33.1 percent which is also above the national average of 30.4 per cent.

Big drug bust at Northern Airport According to an announcement from the National Police, a 37-year-old man, identified only as C.C.E. was detained at Tenerife’s Los Rodeos Airport in the north, after being caught with five

kilos of cocaine concealed in the false bottom of his suitcase.

Police watched the man as he came to collect his suitcase and suspected that he might well have something

concealed in his baggage.

After close inspection they discovered the false bottom of the bag and the three packages of white powder hidden inside. After what the authorities call a ‘nar-

cotest’, officers were able to confirm the substance to be cocaine.

The accused is currently being held in custody awaiting an appearance before a judge.

Repsol still producing petrol in Libya THE PRESIDENT of Repsol, Antonio Brufau, has clarified that the company is still producing petrol in Libya, but that it has cut production by half to 160,000 barrels a day.

Regarding the Government’s calls to save energy, he considered that the only way to do that is to approve incentives.

Industry Minister, Miguel Sebastían, presents the Government’s plans on energy saving to the cabinet today, Friday. Meanwhile there is con-

tinued tension on the markets as the price of a barrel of crude approaches 120$. A barrel of Brent has risen in price by 10$ in just a day.

Petrol prices in Spain are back at record highs, with a litre at 1.285, up 1.2% in the past week. It comes as Brufau at

Repsol and Galán at Iberdrola each earned seven million euros in 2010.

Repsol has announced a tripling of its profits in 2010 thanks mainly to the Chinese company, Sinopec. Net profits were 4.693 billion euros, triple the 1.559 billion euros in 2009.

Winner Alex rocks the Place to bits!

The Granadilla girl rocked the Our Place joint in Costa del Silencio with AC/DC’s You Shock Me All Night Long, to win over the judges.

The venue was packed with the competition’s third full house in a row and so far, 45 singers and over 300 people

have watched and cheered as this exciting event takes the south of the Island by storm.

As in previous weeks, everyone who entered did extremely well and the judges had a hard task selecting just one finalist. But Alex’s surprise choice was enough to sway them.

She now joins the other heat winners - all female so far, so come on gents! - in the final at Showtime, Las Americas on 14th May. The finalists will compete for the 500-euro cash prize, a 12-track recording session

at Villa studios, a contract with the No 1 artiste agency, Paul James Associates, and an opportunity to perform at this year’s Tenerife Entertainment Awards.

Golf courses lapping up this fresher water PEOPLE living in the Las Galletas area will soon be getting a filtration boost to their water supply - and so will the golf courses!

The opening of a water treatment installation, which will treat waste water generated in Santa Cruz, was attended by a host of dignitaries, including Tenerife Cabildo President Ricardo Melchior.

The ambitious project, with a budget topping 6.4 million euros, received 70% of its financing from the Canarian Government’s Department

of Agriculture, Farming, Fisheries and the Environment.

That accounted for 4.5m euros, with the balance made up by the Tenerife

Cabildo. The plant is fundamentally a filtration system that will significantly

improve the quality of the treated water, which is then distributed for agricultural purposes in the Las Galletas region..

In addition to a battery of filters, a storage tank and monitoring system have also been installed.

The plant occupies 8,000sqm at the Polígono Costa Sur in the capital, with a purification station and pumping facility. That will help transport the treated water to its ultimate Valle San Lorenzo destination, at the Agro-hydraulic Complex.

Its journey passes through stations in Güímar, San Isidro and El Saltadero, with 100

hydrants en route for its administration.

The project’s aim has been to improve water quality to rural areas, and it will be used mainly for agricultural purposes, as well as for the maintenance of golf courses in the south.

The water’s higher quality will ensure greater security for those workers using it on a daily basis.

Efficient energy usage has also been taken into account, with many of the storage facilities based on higher ground, thus reducing the need for electrical pumps by using the force of gravity.

Tourist chief’s 2011 Plan to attract more travellers AS 2011 gets off to a tumultuous start around the world, Tourism Tenerife has mapped out its strategy for the coming year in the hope of capturing a larger market share.

Aimed principally at those countries that provide some 80% of all visitors to the Island - Spain, the UK, Germany, France, Italia and Belgium - the goal is to improve on the 3,800,000 tourists who spent their holidays here last year.

Tourism Minister José Manuel Bermúdez said: “This Plan of Action aims to consolidate our position in those markets where we are, traditionally, the most successful.

“Of course, we will not exclude other areas, but these will be second or third in our list of priorities. But we do want to increase the numbers from wherever we can.”

Bermúdez added: “In con-

crete terms, our aim is to bring the figures up to at least 4,800,000, which really represents the tendency we are seeing in the recovery of our tourist numbers.”

Perhaps the major area of concern is to improve the image Tenerife has abroad, and the 2011 Plan is designed to do just that.

Campaigns in the priority nations will focus on the quality angle, as well as drawing attention to the less-traditional pursuits the Island has in abundance.

From hiking and biking to gastronomy and whalewatching, the plan will bring it all to life in various media in the first-priority countries.

Bermúdez lists the lowerpriority nations as Russia, Ireland, Austria, Poland, Scandinavia, Hungary and the Czech Republic, as well as the rest of the Canary Islands.

Already, some 80% of all Russian visitors to the Canary Islands come to Tenerife, as regular readers of Canarian Weekly will be aware, so this is definitely a

25 February 2011 - 03 March 2011

market to be explored further. Targeting the rest of the Archipelago at this juncture is aimed directly at those travellers affected economically by the worldwide crisis, and who are looking closer to home for their annual getaway.

Further away, strategies are planned to attract more people from Canada, the US and Israel, and work is underway to open up routes between these countries and Tenerife.

In total, the 2011 Plan will undertake some 700 different actions, incorporating media campaigns, tour operators, events on the Island and international tourism fairs.

Bermúdez has also spent some time explaining the goals and financing of the Tourism Tenerife plan to 200 Accounting and Finance students at the University of La Laguna.

He told them the Tourism Tenerife strategy, approved in 2008, has served as the basis for the current series of actions. The students learned of the initiative’s 10 major points.

These include: the improvement in aerial connections and opening up of new routes; the recuperation of much of the old, degenerated and obsolete facilities, and the focus on alternative activities Tenerife has to offer.

He also drew attention to the successful campaigns of the past, including the sponsorship of Moto 2 Tenerife 40 Pons, and other promo-

tions seen on Spanish television nationwide.

And, of course, the Tourism Minister is aware of the power of social networking, with Tenerife appearing on such sites as Facebook,

Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Tuenti and Foursquare, under the project banner “Tenerife Stream”.

His visit to the students enhanced the collaboration between La Laguna

University and Tenerife Tourism, with the object of forming a local community of 1,000 members, oriented in the tourism field, calling the project “Experts in Tenerife”.

Golden oldies to live longer

NEARLY 25% of everyone living in Spain will be over the State retirement age of 65 within 20 years, according to a recent survey.

The CSIC Foundation also says that by 2050, around 30% of the population will be aged over 80, and around 13 million will be 65 and more.

It is said to be a “global trend”, but highlighted in Spain, especially in regions such as in, Galicia, Asturias and Castilla-León, which will have the highest proportion of elderly residents

Page 10

The ageing population is largely because of a drop in the birth-rate and, as the jobs market is becoming more and more precarious, few Spanish adults are able to leave home until their mid-30s, preventing them from getting married and having children.

Additionally, lack of any State assistance means both parents have to work to make ends meet anyway.

The CSIC Foundation research shows that an ageing population will put greater strain on the social welfare system, through pensions being claimed and increased necessity for health care.

Adeje proud to give residents a genuine complaints service IF you are dissatisfied with a service, or with a product you’ve bought, then head for the local Consumer’s Office, where you should be able to find a sympathetic ear.

That’s not always the case, but it is certainly true of Adeje, where Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga says the office dealt with 1,405 complaints during 2010, nearly a quarter resulting in positive outcomes.

In fact, a total of 340 were dealt with successfully, while the remainder were moved on to the relevant organisations, to be resolved directly.

The office (Oficina del Consumidor de Adeje, OMIC) deals with an average of 50 complaints daily. Between 1530 are made in person, and the rest come in by telephone.

This information will prove useful to readers who feel they have no recourse when unhappy with a service or product.

Mayor Rodríguez Fraga says: “We have noted that the service offered by the OMIC is being used more and more. In fact, there has been a 20% increase in the number of complaints in 2010 compared with 2009.”

The major areas of complaint have related to telephone services, land-lines and mobiles, the water and electric supplies and the retail

sector. The Adeje Council has been working actively to raise public awareness of the service, which can be utilised by both residents and tourists alike.

“We are also aware that some establishments in Costa Adeje have not been providing the best of service, and we are making inspections on a regular basis,” adds the Mayor.

“We want to ensure that residents are not adversely affected by poor service or faulty goods and also, we cannot afford these issues to

have a negative effect on our main source of income, tourism.

“The OMIC is working to keep residents informed of their rights and provide an arbitration service in order to resolve their conflicts as consumers.”

The office provides a free information and help service to consumers regarding their rights. The only requirement is that the complainant must either be a resident of Adeje Municipality, or that the offending establishment or service is located there.

The office is on the top floor of the Municipal Hacienda of Adeje, on Calle Tinerfe el Grande: telephone 922 711 484 extension 1010 or 1009.

The Arona Town Council also offers a service to consumers. Their office is located just behind the church square in Los Cristianos, on Plaza del Pescador 1, Los Cristianos (phone 922 757 137).

Hopes fade for NZ survivors in quake HOPES are fading for more than 200 people still missing after an earthquake in New Zealand - as the death toll rose to 98.

Police said up to 120 bodies may still lie trapped in the tangled concrete and steel that was the Canterbury TV building in the city of Christchurch.

Hundreds of foreign specialists - from the US, Britain,

Seeing red over the £742 profit

by British Gas

BRITISH GAS has ignited customer criticism after reporting its profits rose by 24% to a record £742m last year.

The profit announcement was made two months after British Gas raised prices by 7%, during the worst winter in a century.

Around eight million British Gas customers were affected by the December 10 increase, and saw their average annual bills rise from £1,157 to £1,239.

Adam Scorer of Consumer Focus said: “Millions of households are suffering from fuel poverty which is when 10% of their income goes on the cost of keeping warm and powering the lights.”

“I think when consumers see the size of these profits you can expect them to be somewhere on the spectrum from very frustrated to outraged.”

Centrica chief executive Sam Laidlaw said the energy industry was in a volatile situation with commodity

Page 12

prices, but his company would do all it could to keep bills as low as possible.

He said British Gas would help reduce bills by providing free loft or cavity insulation to customers who buy its electricity as well as its gas.

British Gas added 270,000 customers last year and is the UK’s biggest gas supplier with 16 million customer accounts.

It is owned by energy giant Centrica which also revealed record figures, with its operating profits up by 29% at £2.4bn.

Centrica says recent price increases were down to soaring wholesale prices.

The company also claims British Gas prices were 0.5% lower at the end of 2010 than at the start of the year after the supplier cut bills by 7% in February.

Ofgem, the energy watchdog, is leading an investigation into the energy giants’ balance sheets after discovering average profit margins had increased as companies claimed they had no choice but to lift bills.

Japan, Singapore and Taiwan - have arrived to bolster local police and soldiers and allow teams to broaden their search to smaller buildings not yet checked.

“Now we’ve got the capability of going out and doing searches in areas where there may still be people trapped that hitherto we haven’t been able to address,” Civil Defence Minister John Carters said.

Up to 47 students from Asian countries are believed to buried under rubble at the Canterbury TV building site after an English-language school collapsed along with other offices.

The government of Japan believes at least 27 of its citizens are still unaccounted for.

The official death toll from Tuesday’s 6.3-magnitude tremor stands at 98, Police Superintendent Dave Cliff said.

An additional 226 people are listed as missing, and Prime Minister John Key said there were “grave fears” that many of them did not survive.

“We are very fearful that the death toll could be much greater than any of us have ever feared,” he said, adding there were dozens of foreign citizens caught up in the tragedy.

An Irishman, psychiatric nurse Eoin McKenna, is among the victims of the quake, and a man believed to be a Briton has also been killed.

Another British man is seriously injured after being hit by a falling beam.

A consular spokesman said: “The British High Commissioner visited the man in Christchurch Hospital.

He has suffered a broken clavicle and fractured skull.”

Mr Key has declared the quake a national disaster, and analysts estimate its cost at up to £7bn.

“It was just horrific,” 63year-old survivor Kevin Fitzgerald said of surviving the quake. “I thought the devil was coming up out of the earth.”

The British Consulate office has set up temporary offices in Room 212 of the Copthorne Commodore Hotel, providing advice for British nationals in the country.

The office in Memorial

Avenue is open for Britons requiring consular assistance between 9am and 6pm daily.

Christchurch Airport has reopened for flights out of the devastated area.

Prince William has sent his condolences to those in New Zealand.

Bond studio grabs a sunshine location THE HOME of the James Bond and Harry Potter movies is expanding the global reach of its studio operations by opening a new facility in the Dominican Republic.

Pinewood Shepperton says it is looking to cash in on the Latin American film and TV markets, which are currently believed to be worth over £2bn annually but are expected to grow strongly.

The 35-acre site will eventually house an eight-acre water effects complex, comprising a fully-equipped deep water tank, natural sea horizons and blue-screen technology.

A big sound stage will be the other main attraction for film-makers.

The joint project with investment firm Indomina Group is getting under way with a ceremony conducted by the Caribbean island’s President.

Pinewood hopes to begin

initial film operations in the Dominican Republic next year and says it will take fees and gradually increase an equity stake in the site.

It is another departure abroad for Pinewood.

The British firm has already created production centres in Canada and Germany and is building another in Malaysia.

Pinewood Shepperton: Key Points

25 February 2011 - 03 March 2011

:: The group has 3 UK studios, Pinewood, Shepperton and Teddington. :: The original James Bond Stage at Pinewood was destroyed by fire in 2006. :: Pinewood shares are currently worth 144p each - a rise of 3p.

Ivan Dunleavy, Pinewood’s chief executive, said: “This represents further progress in Pinewood’s strategy to

leverage the strength of our brand internationally and specifically to the growing Latino film and television market.

“The Pinewood brand stands for excellence in the global film industry and we have strategically targeted regions of the world where significant incremental growth has been forecast.”

Florida ‘Pill Mills’ ARRESTS have been made across southern Florida after a yearlong undercover operation into the sale of prescription drugs.

Prescription drug abuse is the fastest-growing drug problem in America.

The operation codenamed ‘Pill Nation’ targeted illegal pill mills that dispense huge amounts of powerful drugs across the United States.

The prescriptions were deemed illegal because they were not for a legitimate medical purpose.

Latest available figures from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention show more than 27,000 people died of a drug overdose in 2007 primarily from prescription pain relievers.

The undercover operation by the US Drug Enforcement Administration focused on Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.

One indictment focused on six people who operated a network of pain clinics.

It is alleged they trawled the internet for prospective patients using some 1,600 domain names that captured searches for pain medication

and then charged clinic fees of between $200-$350 per patient.

Court documents show this one network dispensed 660,000 pills of the painkiller oxycodone in the two years up to the end of 2010.

Gil Kerlikowske, the director of National Drug Control Policy, said: “The proliferation of rogue ‘pill mills’ operations has caused massive harm to citizens in Florida, throughout the southeast and our nation.

“It is unconscionable that this very small number of doctors trained to ‘do no harm’ would willingly endanger lives or prolong the misery of addiction for any American for the sake of an easy profit.”

As authorities struggle to combat the problem, Florida governor Rick Scott has recently faced criticism for his proposal to scrap a planned state database for tracking prescription drugs.

Rudeness by police sparks off protests

COMPLAINTS against police have gone up as figures revealed officers are accused of rudeness more than 220 times each week.

Grievances went up by 8% last year to 33,854, with one in five allegations concerning officers being deliberately rude or intolerant.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) report showed there were a total of 11,576 allegations of incivility, including rudeness.

A further one in four allegations against officers in England and Wales involved claims they were slow or ineffective.

Len Jackson, interim chairman of the IPCC, said: “The number of ‘rude and late’ complaints highlights the standards expected of the police service and the need to improve how they interact with the public.

“While some aspects can be improved without cost, such as through better leadership, smaller police budgets will present a challenge around levels of service and public expectation.

“This will require forces to develop an open dialogue with the public.” One in 10 allegations against police were substantiated, the same proportion as in previous years, the watchdog’s

Page 14

figures showed.

In all, the 33,854 complaints made in 2009/10 contained 58,399 allegations of misconduct, the IPCC said.

PCC report 2009/10 :: Total of 33,854 complaints against police :: 11,576 allegations of incivility :: Only one in 10 allegations against police substantiated :: One in five officers subject of a complaint over the course of year The watchdog also outlined changes being made to the way complaints statistics are compiled in a bid to create a simpler system that is “more in line with the public’s expectations”.

“This shifts the focus of the complaints system from only examining whether misconduct is proven, to one that also recognises that an officer does not have to have done something wrong for a member of the public to have a bad experience,” the IPCC said.

Deputy Chief Constable John Feavyour, the Acpo lead for complaints and misconduct, said: “The job of a police officer is unique in society, with officers routinely placing themselves in dangerous and stressful situations to keep the public safe.

“The service cannot improve on this without feedback from the public.”

THE POLITICAL uncertainty gripping many of the world’s top oil producing nations is set to deliver a shock to UK drivers “within days”.

That is according to the AA, which believes increases in the cost of oil as a result of the unrest in Libya will shortly be passed on by retailers at the petrol pump.

It has traditionally taken weeks for such oil price increases to reach petrol stations.

As it stands, the average price for a litre of unleaded is 128.9 pence, with diesel 134.3 pence.

But on the international markets, the price of Brent Crude oil is hovering at highs not seen for well over two years at almost $110 a barrel.

The oil price has risen steadily over the past two months as a result of the political turmoil in Tunisia, Yemen, then Egypt and now in Libya.

Should it reach a record $150 a barrel, as some experts claim could happen if the unrest spreads, a litre of unleaded would likely rise above 140p.

It is estimated that Libya’s daily output of 1.6 million barrels has already been reduced at least by 20% because of the uncertainty there.

Two major foreign producers, Eni and BASF, have turned off the taps. Together they produce 350,000 barrels a day.

One of the largest tribes in Eastern Libya has threatened to cut off exports from the port of Banghazi unless the

Drivers face rocketing fuel prices

violence against pro-democracy protesters stops.

Another tribe, based south of the capital Tripoli, has also turned against Colonel Gadaffi’s regime.

Saudi Arabia has said that it could produce an extra 4 million barrels a day to make up any lost capacity and help keep prices stable.

But the biggest fear is that the turmoil could spread across the Middle East and North Africa, which together

produce a third of the world’s oil.

Brian Madderson, the chairman of RMI Petrol which represents retailers, has disputed the AA’s claim that pump prices will rise within days.

He said: “Following the turmoil and violence in Libya over the last couple of days Brent crude oil prices have reached $110 per barrel.

“RMI Petrol predicts that this rise will filter through to petrol forecourts over the

next few weeks, leading to an estimated 5 pence per litre increase by the 1st April.”

The two organisations clashed over petrol prices earlier this month after the AA accused fuel providers of failing to pass on falling wholesale petrol costs to motorists.

However, both have agreed that freezing April’s planned fuel duty increase will serve the best interests of the UK economy.

Space shuttle Discovery takes off for final flight THE last-ever Discovery space shuttle flight was scheduled to blast off from Cape Canaveral last night (Thursday).

It signalled the end for the world’s most-travelled rocket ship as the shuttle programme drew to a close after 30 years.

Six astronauts will ride Discovery up to the International Space Station to deliver supplies and drop off the robot Robonaut, which will become the first humanoid in space.

Discovery has flown to space more than any other craft in the Nasa fleet and clocked up 150m miles.

It has circled the earth more than 5,000 times, travelling at speeds of 17,400 miles an hour.

There’s no definite plan yet for a mission to the moon, to Mars, to an asteroid.

There’s a lull ahead - a hiatus - and during that hiatus either a new plan will develop or it won’t.

Nasa shuttle launch director Michael Leinbach said: “You’ll see a lot of people out on the runway who’ll probably choke up some.

“It’s the end of a 30 year programme that not only have we worked on and made our livelihoods in, but we’ve grown to love and appreciate.

“It feels like we’ve been doing something special for

the country and the world.

It’s coming to an end, and that’s tough.”

The shuttle programme, launched in 1981, has not been without disaster.

In 1986 the Challenger blew up shortly after take-off and in February 2003 the world mourned again when the shuttle Colombia broke up on re-entry into the earth’s atmosphere.

Two more shuttles are scheduled to make their final flights this year before the programme is retired.

The Endeavour is due to go up in April with Commander Mark Kelly at the helm.

His wife, congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, one of the Tucson shooting victims, is due to be in Florida to watch

the mission as she recovers from her injuries. Atlantis will be the final launch slated for a June lift off - although Congress has not yet approved the money for it.

Then for the first time in nearly 60 years, the United States will have no government-owned rocket ready to launch.

Valerie Neal, shuttle curator at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC, said: “There’s no definite plan yet for a mission to the moon, to Mars, to an asteroid.

“There’s a lull ahead - a hiatus - and during that hiatus either a new plan will develop or it won’t, and it’s a bit too early to know where we’re heading.”

Aktiontier’s new school Swallows all set trips enlighten children for a Swedish LOCAL town halls, schools and kindergartens in Arona are introducing more educational programmes for children in animal welfare this year, And dog refuge Accion del Sol, sponsored by German charity Aktiontier, has been organising school trips in other areas for some years, and has been chosen to offer its expertise by its local Granadilla Town Hall.

The children are being given the opportunity to learn not only in a classroom but also at the refuge, and the hope is that these practical lessons will have a big impact.

Aktiontier’s two resident vets will educate the children in the basic care and feeding, as well as how to treat a dog and how to educate it.

They will also explain the importance of annual vaccinations, and the prevention of heartworm and fleas.

The youngsters will be taught the correct way to

handle a dog and how to respect the animals.

As part of their adventures at Accion del Sol, they will also have hands-on experience with the dogs, and supervised play time with the puppies and small dogs.

Karen Clack, the refuge’s main volunteer, said: “This is a major step forward towards improving animal welfare here on the Island.”

Lidia Ross, aged just 3½, lives in Granadilla and thor-

25 February 2011 - 03 March 2011

oughly enjoyed her day out at Accion del Sol recently.

And, as you can see from the picture, she proved extremely popular with this titch.

For more information about the scheme, please go to Aktiontier’s Facebook page (Aktiontier Accion), or the following blog: Tenerife Dogs: Aktiontier “Animal protection” Education Program for School Children tenerifedogs.blogspot.com The refuge’s next fundraising event, on 12th March, is a long-distance (20km) horse ride from El Salto to El Medano via Accion Del Sol for refreshments, then a scenic ride back via El Dessierto.

After that, it’s back to Karen’s finca for a BBQ and a well-deserved beer or two.

One of the riders, Nicola Rowe, will be celebrating her 40th birthday on the same day, so once the horses are fed and settled, the celebrations are sure to begin.

If you would like to join the riders with your own horse, or to sponsor us, please contact Karen on 687 905

511 for more information. It has been a busy time at Accion Del Sol. A cocker spaniel collected in Arona recently. was microchipped, but because his owner could not be traced, the dog will be seeking a new home after the obligatory 21 days.

If you own a dog, please ensure the microchip is in your name and registered at en los bases de datos del colegio , better known as Zoocan (www.zoocan.net).

The vet will give you a blue copy of the chip registration form, and you can rest assured that if you do happen to lose your dog, you can be easily traced and quickly reunited with your pet.

Thank you to the kind people who have donated various items for sale to raise money for the refuge. Staff there welcome any bric-abrac, items large and small, clothes, books and household goods.

Please contact the refuge on 922 778 630 or Karen on 687 905 511 if you can help in any way.

Double blow for Fun Golfers - but their show still continues THE Fun Golfers’ mood turned to sadness at this month’s Sunday meeting at Los Palos when they held two minutes of silence for Nicky, the golf professional instructor there, and golfing friend Austin Ford.

They both passed away recently and were remembered fondly by the society, who turned out in full at Los Palos and still enjoyed an excellent day’s play.

Mick Jones came top of the

pile by winning the tournament with playing partner Ian Gill, and also securing the Nearest the Pin prize for the gents.

Second in the main event were Marilyn Pendleton & Malcolm Maddock, followed

by Bernard Welsh & Dennis Booth.

Nearest the Pin prize for the Ladies went to Jenny Messham, while Booby prizewinners were John Bedworth & Peter Ling The next Fun Day competition is on 13th March, when the Three Club Challenge will be staged. Anybody wishing to play should contact Clive on 922 797 640.

Golfers scramble leads to children’s play-area funds THE 64 golfers contesting a Texas Scramble at Golf Del Sur have made a huge contribution towards the 7,000 euros raised for The Guaindy Children’s Care Centre in Granadilla.

Paloma Beach Golf Society enjoyed a fantastic day’s play last November, which was followed by a joyous fund-raising evening at the Penny Farthing Bar in Los Cristianos.

All the receipts are now in and, on 11th March, the Society plan to present the money to the Care Centre to fund an outdoor play area for the 32 children there, aged from four to 14.

The Society’s Jacqui Turner said: “We would like to thank

all the sponsors and golfers, and a special thanks to Mike Lewis, who donated 300 teddy bears. By the way, we still have a few left for sale at five euros each.”

Paloma Beach also arranged a children’s competition to design the Centre’s play area, with prizes donated by Oasis Money Exchange at Los Cristianos.

Daniel Saraanean won the 09 years category, and runnerup was Eva Kae Martin. Yosra Zariah Hassan Farss won the 10-16 years group with Rami Lekbir Mymo second. They are pictured with Jo Aherne, from the Money Exchange.

Jacqui added: “We plan to build a garden summer house to hold larger games and to use for storage as well, and if anyone has some spare time and would like to help us with the project, please contact me on 665 190 939.

Live Arico Update Facts, figures and the way forward IN 2010, we rescued 530 dogs, with 350 re-homed and 75 returned to their owners, leaving us with just over 100 more at the year end.

We are currently housing around 350. Fortunately, we no longer have to take dogs from the Arona municipality, meaning we can actively work at reducing this number.

Last year, the number taken from Arona was around 300 and a huge drain on our resources since we never put a healthy dog down. It is our priority to work for the animals and not for the authorities.

We can now concentrate on developing the finca and rehoming more and more dogs. We also have plans to construct a cattery and to house exotic animals. Please call 112 if you find an abandoned dog in the municipalities of Arona, Guia de Isora, San Miguel and Granadilla de Abona. We cannot take them because we have to respect that contracts have been agreed and signed with an alternative refuge.

Last week, we had 197 dogs sterilised, free of charge, at the Valle Colina refuge near La Laguna. A German charity, ETN, sent one of their vets, who worked in conjunction with the in-house vet at the refuge.

The logistical effort was huge: conveys of cars and vans driven by Live Arico staff and volunteers drove the dogs back and forth, at a cost of 400 euros over the 10 days.

But, we have saved in the region of12,000 euros, and for that we are truly grateful.

Our thanks to …

All involved in last week’s fund-raiser at Jaquelz, Los Cristianos last week, where we raised 745 euros. Thanks to Dave and Hayley for hosting the event and providing a free buffet, and to entertainers Suzy Q, Phil Gibson, Avril Taylor, Vanessa V, System X, The Sisters of Doom and Indiana.

Thanks also to our Trish for selling all those raffle tickets.

Thanks also to Mark, Lesley and all at the Albatros Bar, Costa del Silencio, who came to our aid on a difficult week, financially, by buying 24 bags of dog food, as a result of their in-house fund-raising. We are forever grateful to you guys because you are always there when needed.

We need a van Large, transit type, rent to buy. Anything considered.

Please call Chris on 672 917 193 with information.

Refuge opening hours We open Wednesday to Saturday from 1pm to 5pm, and Sundays only, with prior arrangement with Eugene.

We need raffle prizes!!

Also, pop in to leave donations of dog food, to ask for information about Live Arico, or just for a friendly chat. We need volunteers, so please call

Trisha on 638 407 344, or Debbie on the number below, if you can spare a few hours a week.

Revised adoption procedures A minimum 50-euro donation for an adopted male dog, and 75 euros for a female, is now required by Live Arico. This is paid direct to Hospivet Sur on collection of your new pet, which will be chipped, vaccinated and wormed. We are negotiating special rates for neutering and spaying.

South Tenerife Rescue Centre We have now sold 567sqm of land up to now, making a total of 2,835 euros. The plan to buy our own plot of land remains, possibly even where we are now renting, so are you prepared to buy a square metre of land for Live Arico?

At just five euros, you will receive a certificate from Live

Arico for now, and your name, address and number of square metres purchased will be on a Roll of Honour at the new refuge.

Dog-grooming Claire is now offering 10% of her fee to Live Arico. She has 18 years of experience, so call her on 660 862 910 for an appointment, and quote Live Arico so we can receive our donation.

Remember, a dog is for life and NOT just for the duration of your stay in Tenerife.

It’s Carnival time again!

FINALLY, it has arrived. Carnival 2011 is happening and already the streets of Santa Cruz are filling with sound and colour as festival fever takes hold of the capital city.

This annual event has become known worldwide, ranking second only to the spectacular pre-Lent revelry in Rio de Janeiro.

This year, Tenerife will host its annual celebrations through to the middle of March, transforming Santa Cruz into one of the world’s biggest street parties.

It is a time for residents and

visitors to take to the streets and soak up the Carnival atmosphere.

The main events of every Carnival season include the Carnival Queen Election Gala and the fabulous street parade, with carefully-crafted floats, dancers and musicians.

And not forgetting the hilarious Burial of the Sardine as mourners marking the end of

Carnival weep and wail as they prepare for the depravations of Lent. Being selected as Carnival Queen means many commitments throughout the coming year for the young woman selected.

And choosing the winner is always a difficult task as each of the candidates is decked out in fantastic and imaginative costumes.

They really are magnificent, covered in feathers, rhinestones and sequins, and many weigh over 150 kilos and have to be literally wheeled along by the girl inside.

This exotic festival is a must-see for tourists.

Murgas, comparsas and rondallas (flamboyantly-dressed individuals, performers and groups of musicians) enter-

tain during the day, and visitors and Islanders flock to the capital to join in the fun.

The theme for Carnival this year is a tribute to Enrique Gonzalez Bethencourt, a wellknown musician in Tenerife and also founder of one of the best performing Carnival bands. He died in 2010 and this year the festivities are dedicated to him.

What’s on… and when?

TO make sure no one misses any of the action, here is a list of the upcoming, major events in the Carnival.

And to explain some of the events, here is a description of what they are.

Rondalla: From the Spanish ronda, meaning “serenade”.

The core instruments of a rondalla are the guitar, the mandolin, and the lute. The musicians are accompanied by at least one singer, and sometimes by hand-held percussion instruments as well.

Although the ensemble of stringed instruments has existed in some form in Spain since at least the 16th century, the rondalla dates from the early 19th century.

Comparsa: A group of dancers in costume who parade while dancing in a choreographed pattern, followed by a marching band. Some of the comparsas have a long history, with costumes and traditions passed down from one generation to the next.

Murga: Another singing group, in costume, but the Murga is a song based on social commentary, often political satire aimed at local or national figures and events. The groups work on their compositions for

months ahead of Carnival season and were traditionally made up of men until a few years ago, when women’s Murgas began to emerge here in Tenerife.

Main programme of events Tomorrow (26th Feb) at 8pm: Comparsa Contest at the Centro Internacional de Ferias y Congresos - the Exhibition Centre almost opposite the Auditorium on the dockside Avenida Maritima.

Sunday, 11am: Costume Contest at the Centro Internacional de Ferias y Congresos, followed at 5.30pm by a Festival of Choreography.

Tuesday, 8.30pm: Concert by musical group Los Fregolinos at the Teatro Guimera, on Calle Angel Guimera in the older part of the city.

Wednesday, 9.30pm: The Election of the Carnival Queen at the Centro Internacional de Ferias y Congresos.

Friday, 7pm: Parade, following the Avenida Asuncionistas, Ramón y Cajal, Galcerán, Plaza Weyler, Méndez Núñez, Pilar, Villalba Hervás, La Marina and Avenida de Francisco La Roche. The decorated floats and cars will be judged during the parade, ending with a firework display.

Role-model Loren preaches respect AS is the case every year, part of the publicity surrounding Carnival asks participants to behave with respect while they have a good time.

This year, the City Council have got together again with bus company TITSA to mount an awareness campaign, featuring local hero and twice world champion kick-boxer Loren Jorge.

The 26-year-old is known simply as Loren here in Tenerife, and is a muchadmired, home-grown hero. That is why the Cabildo and TITSA have chosen him as a role model

- and the face of their campaign.

His message to youngsters is: “Go out, have a good time at Carnival but also have respect, in this case for the public transport service.”

While he represents a tough sport - he has had more than 80 fights Loren also shows respect to those around him.

He began training at a gym over here from an early age, but now trains in Holland and Belgium for his world class competitions.

The idea of having him as the symbol of good citizenship on posters around the city and on the sides of the buses is expected to extend beyond Carnival.

Treme Friday 25 February, 10:15pm - 11:30pm, Sky Atlantic Meet De Boys on the Battlefront Treme struts on, loose and unpredictable yet knowing exactly where it's heading. Two episodes in, it's already revealing itself to be something special. It concentrates on vibe where other dramas are obsessed with story, and not just with its tendency to stop the action for a fantastic musical interlude. The dialogue itself has its own rhythm and tone, telling you exactly what you need to be told without ever being so inelegant as to spell it out for you. Nothing ever feels implausible or unnatural. You are there. Brutal violence and tragedy colour this despatch from post- Katrina New Orleans, as LaDonna keeps searching for her missing brother, while serene Albert reveals his rock-hard interior. But mingling effortlessly with the unblinking depiction of the city's desperate plight is mischievous comedy, as a trio of gullible, white-bread Wisconsinite tourists arrive. New Orleans might just eat them alive.

tion from Mateo (Jake Canuso), amongst others, best friend Sam is less than happy. It all goes downhill after a night at a disco and Sam settles down to a holiday of playing second fiddle to her more attractive pal.

The Solana has a new bartender too in the form of Les (Tim Healey). Les is delighted, not only to have been offered the job by Janey (Chrissy Rock) but also to find out that she has no objections to him coming to work dressed as a woman.

As he and Mateo battle it out for control of the poolside bar, Les’s son Liam (Adam Gillen) enjoys his first taste of holiday romance as he tries to woo Natalie. All would be perfect for Lesley’s gullible son if only he could get past a very protective Sam. And Noreen (Elsie Kelly) is back too but this time she’s travelling with her daughter, Pauline (Selina Griffiths). Having just emerged from an unhappy marriage and 14 years living in the Middle East, Pauline is less than pleased with her mother’s choice of holiday destination.

After a good start, the pressure of a holiday with Noreen takes its toll and recovering alcoholic Pauline seeks comfort at the bar.

find themselves caught up in trying to rescue Madge, get her back on her feet and work out what her next move will be.

Donald (Kenny Ireland) and Jaqueline (Janine Duvitski) are back but all is not quite as well as it seems with them. Despite his efforts to play it down, it seems that Donald’s health may be about to cause a bit of concern. While it doesn’t prevent them from indulging in their passion for a bit of fruity fun it soon becomes clear that it may be a bit more serious than first expected.

Gavin (Hugh Sachs) is in residence poolside at The Solana but this year without Troy (Paul Bazeley). Troy’s had to remain in the UK to take care of his dying father so Gavin has brought his employee Kenneth (Tony Maudsley) with him on an all expenses paid trip. What sounded like a good idea quickly becomes a nightmare as Kenneth’s insatiable appetite for men and food begins to grate on Gavin’s nerves.

New to The Solana are Sam (Shelley Longworth) and Natalie (Kathryn Drysdale), two “lovely” young ladies from the north of England.

With Natalie on the receiving end of constant atten-

NEW SERIES. The Garveys arrive to stay at Madge’s luxury villa, only to discover she has sold it to a TV personality and promptly disappeared. While Troy nurses his ailing father back at home, Gavin turns up at the Solana resort with a new companion - his salon underling Kenneth - who seems determined to take advantage of the free food, and Mateo struggles to get used to his surprising new colleague at the pool bar.

Benidorm is an award winning British television comedy-drama that is produced

by Tiger Aspect for ITV and written by Derren Litten, cowriter of The Catherine Tate Show, exploiting the working-class stereotype of this popular tourist destination.

Benidorm is back and it’s fun and frolics in the sun for some Solana regulars and some new faces too!

With Madge (Sheila Reid) now living la vida solo after the passing of her beloved husband Mel (the late Geoffrey Hutchings), things quickly go from bad to worse for her as the legacy of Mel Harvey’s business dealings catches up with her.

1:00am ............................BBC News 1:30am ............The Bottom Line

AT LAST, the weather we all know and love here in Tenerife has arrived again after what has to be the dullest, coldest winter this Island has known for years.

We can all look forward to months of sunshine and heat, while people’s thoughts back in the UK and Ireland are now on choosing holiday destinations for the summer.

Fingers crossed, the majority choose Tenerife.

In these days of the internet, we can book ourselves and make our own holidays up as we go along. But I have to admit that after the last few days watching the television news, there seems to be a few people who have no idea what the

Page 24

word “holiday” means.

Last week, I was writing about censorship in the Middle East and mentioned that the tension in Libya would spill over soon. And now we know it is causing havoc in the region.

I was amazed and shocked watching the reports coming out of the area -obviously at what is happening, but also at people wanting to get back home after “holidaying” in Libya!

Let me get this straight: of all the destinations in all the world, they pick a wartorn region. I’m all for adventure holidays, but that comes along with swimming alongside sharks or a parachute jump.

But LIBYA? What goes through these people’s minds? I know some lovely people venture there for work in security, or to help out various charity organi-

sations, but on holiday?

I can see it now - a bloke with no time on his hands to investigate, and all he can see when searching for “warm destinations” is Libya. Yes, a warm destination … the heat from burning buildings and cars!

You know the thought that goes through your head when you have booked a holiday and have no idea where you are staying at your destination?

The same feeling must come over these people when they land on the tarmac over there.

But back to the news coverage. They were on TV practically crying that they needed to get out because of the trouble. I would have been crying if Libya was a surprise gift for me.

As British citizens, I obviously want them out safe and in one piece. But even

that has turned into a complete farce.

On Wednesday afternoon, five whole days after it all kicked off, Foreign Secretary William Hague stated in the House of Commoms that all measures to get British citizens out of Libya were being effected.

Really Mr MP? At that time, the plane was still on the ground, but why? A technical fault! The British government could not make their minds up whether to send military or chartered flights.

Let’s think about this again, shall we? Stuck in

Libya with an idiot for a leader asking for people to be shot in the streets, and our very own government cannot get the idea that our citizens would rather see an airplane with bullet rolls instead of bacon rolls.

And to rub salt in the wounds, a chartered flight has tech problems as usual.

What are those stuck in war supposed to do? Wait on vouchers for a cold meal and a printed apology from Stellios? It just boggles the mind.

What I cannot understand is this. The day after the trouble started, the

2:30am ..........................Swingtown 3:15am ..............ITV Nightscreen 5:30am ..........ITV Morning News

Americans, Italians even the French got off their backsides and rescued their people!

On the day of writing, the Prime Minister has said he is sorry for the delays and mistakes that have happened. Mistakes, Prime Minister? I think these people are mad for even venturing into Libya, but in no way would I wish any harm to come to them.

You had plenty of warning what was going to happen a week ago. Maybe I should send you a copy of my column just to keep you up to date with world events?

South Riding

2:00am ............................Holby City

9.00pm BBC1 Sarah (Anna Maxwell Martin), enjoys Robert’s company. Sarah’s ambitions for her school find their focus in Lydia Holly, the gifted eldest child of a labourer and his wife who live with their six children in a shanty town on the fast-eroding South Riding cliffs, as Andrew Davies’s adaptation of Winifred Holtby‘s rich and panoramic portrait of a Yorkshire community in the Thirties continues.

In the Depression of the Thirties these families are just managing to hold on to their livelihoods and to their homes, perched as they are on the very edge of England. Education offers Lydia a way out, but fate has other plans for the overstretched Holly family and, in spite of her best efforts, Lydia must

Page 26

turn her back on the glittering prizes.

Joe Astell’s housing scheme would transform the lives of the South Riding poor but there are some tricky politics to negotiate before the scheme becomes a reality – especially as some of his fellow councillors are more interested in lining their own pockets than in public works.

Lusty Methodist minister Alfred Huggins, for one, sees a heaven-sent opportunity to pay off a blackmailer.

Councillor Snaith has more or less told him where the estate is to be built: all he needs to do is buy a few acres and wait for the price to rise.

Meanwhile, Robert Carne, haunted by memories of his beautiful wife, Muriel, must face the conse-

quences of a life spent paying for an act of madness a decade and a half before. With the bank threatening to repossess his home it’s time for him to make some serious changes. His decision takes him to Manchester, where he runs into Sarah.

Christmas is just around the corner and, away from the strains of life in the South Riding, Robert and Sarah enjoy each other’s company. Neither is prepared for the events that unfold...

Sarah Burton is played by Anna Maxwell Martin, Lydia Holly by Charlie May-Clark, Mr Holly by Shaun Dooley, Joe Astell by Douglas Henshall, Councillor Alfred Huggins by John Henshaw, Councillor Snaith by Peter Firth and Robert Carne by David Morrissey.

Attenborough and The Giant Egg 8.00pm, BBC2 David Attenborough returns to Madagascar to find out more about the “elephant bird.“ When David Attenborough was filming in Madagascar for Zoo Quest in 1960, he was given pieces of an egg belonging to the largest bird to have ever lived – the extinct “elephant bird”. The enormous egg has become one of his most treasured possessions.

In Attenborough And The Giant Egg, David returns to Madagascar to see how the island has changed in the last 50 years and to search for more clues about the amazing elephant bird, which was something like a giant ostrich, weighing half a ton. He also investigates whether unravelling the story of its extinction can throw light on what is happening on the island today.

There have been dramatic

Page 32

changes since David’s first visit – 80 per cent of Madagascar’s native forest has been destroyed; the human population has quadrupled; and many of its unique species are teetering on the brink of extinction.

On the positive side, new species have been discovered and, today, scientists and conservationists know far more about the complexities of the environment.

Modern carbon-dating techniques reveal, for the first time, the age of David’s egg.

Scientists are surprised to find it is only 1,300 years old. Such a recent date confirms that the elephant bird existed alongside human beings for several hundred years.

“Man may not have been able to tackle an adult bird but they could have taken

its eggs, which would have been a huge source of food,” says David. He concludes that, although there were several factors contributing to the giant bird’s demise – including climate change and deforestation – the loss of its eggs was probably the final blow to the species.

“For me, this egg is a reminder of how easy it is for species to disappear and be exterminated as human beings take over more and more of the natural world.

But there is hope. We understand more about ecology and eco systems, more about what needs to be done to protect the natural world, and I hope that certainly we take those lessons to heart in Madagascar to save its wonderful wildlife, for it is, indeed, an island of marvels.”

Famous, Rich And In The Slums With Comic Relief 9.00pm, BBC1 Lenny Henry, Samantha Womack, Reggie Yates and Angela Rippon experience unimaginable poverty as they spend a week living it for real in this groundbreaking, two-part documentary for Comic Relief.

All four agree to swap their lives of privilege and luxury for life in Kibera, reportedly Africa’s largest slum.

In this first programme, they are stripped of all their possessions and given just £1.60 to buy the basics, before moving into cockroach-ridden individual shacks where they will live on their own for the first three days and nights.

Lenny has been on countless trips to Africa for Comic Relief and witnessed poverty first hand. But nothing could have pre-

pared him or the other celebrities for the heartbreaking reality of actually living in and surviving in the slums. Lenny says: “Living in Kibera was unlike anything I’ve ever seen or experienced before. It was, without a doubt, the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do and has completely changed my life. It was an incredible journey, and I’ll never forget it.”

While Lenny, Samantha and Angela haggle to buy basics such as toothpaste, Reggie decides to spend his limited budget on trying to escape his new reality for a while by watching a football match, crammed into a tiny shack in with other fans.

But the victory of the game is short-lived as Reggie needs to get to work. He bags himself one

of the highest paid jobs in the slums ... emptying raw sewage from the public pit latrines through the night.

Lenny pays his way by making and selling samosas on the streets of the slum but agonises over whether to take his daily wage, which his boss could spend on vital medicine for his sick child. Samantha gets a cleaning job in a clinic where she witnesses shocking and emotional scenes, while Angela joins a queue of women from the slum offering to wash clothes in the affluent areas of Nairobi. She works so hard her hands are red raw, all for just £1.60.

Soon, she discovers the shocking reality of the choice her colleagues must make if they don’t get picked for a job.

Elegant Asda iPhone drops down are still living the high life UK handset rankings GIANT supermarket chain Asda is invading the premium homeware market by launching Elegant Living, a new premium brand.

The range, to be sourced with parent company Walmart, will include 100% Egyptian cotton towels and bedding, and kitchenware.

The supermarket chain, which continues to boom, despite the rocky, economic climate, recorded a 1.6% growth in sales in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Andy Clarke, Asda president and chief executive, said: “We have successfully extended our price gap to 10%, significantly improved the quality of our food across the entire store, and given our customers even better service.”

Asda also claimed success with its January relaunch of the Asda Price Guarantee, with 800,000 customers choosing to take up its offer to refund the difference if beaten by rival supermarkets on price.

To date, 170,000 customers have downloaded the iPhone app for the offer.

It also extended its ownlabel food range - Chosen By You - with another 2,000 products introduced to it

400 stores, Since October, Asda sales of Chosen By You bakery products rose by 6%, with its cake ranges rising 20%. Ready meals in the range were up by nearly 11%, and pies were up 8%. Also, yoghurts in the range were up more than 80%.

The retailer experienced a “good Christmas”, with sales of its premium Extra Special range becoming the “fastestgrowing premium brand in the market over the quarter”.

Asda said that 16.5% of UK grocery shoppers used the supermarket chain for their main shop last December,, with “special offers” the most-cited reason.

And, for the 10th year running, the supermarket paid a bonus to its 170,000 staff.

This time, it spread £26.9m between its estimated 170,000 workers.

Clarke added: “The colleagues working in our stores and depots are the heroes of our business. They have worked incredibly hard to deliver the best for our customers - taking everything from the difficult economic climate, to the great British weather in their stride. I take my hat off to them.”

Fare’s fair... if you can find it Train passengers in the UK are missing out on the best deals because of poor advice from station staff and National Rail Enquiries, says Which?

Undercover researchers from the consumer watchdog asked for advice on the cheapest fare for 150 train journeys.

In each case, passengers could save money by: Using a cheaper, slower alternative route; Taking a slightly later train to take advantage of off-peak fares; Buying a ticket that lets you stop off en route rather than paying for two single trips; or Buying a season ticket rather than multiple single tickets.

59 per cent of station ticket clerks and 43 per cent of National Rail Enquiries operators failed to advise passengers about the cheaper option.

No correct answers could be found in one easy step on Nationalrail.co.uk for any of the scenarios used.

Nine times out of ten, a pas-

senger hoping to make two round trips from Oxford to Cardiff in a week was advised to buy two return tickets costing £200 each. Just one clerk advised that buying a weekly season ticket would save the passenger £112.

A Which? survey also revealed only half of train passengers felt confident that they knew how to get the best possible fare for their journey.

Around half (54 per cent) were satisfied overall with train services in the UK. Which? chief executive, Peter Vicary-Smith, says: “Train operators seem blind to the fact that their ticketing systems are too complicated – if people who do this for a living can’t find the cheapest fare, what hope do passengers have?

“We’d like to see much clearer signposting to help passengers find the best deals available, whether they’re buying tickets online, over the phone or at a station.”

APPLE’S iPhone has been knocked off a list of the nation’s top five favourite handsets - as Android mobiles lead the race for smartphone dominance.

Costly iPhone is being beaten by over 800,000 deals giving away free smartphones.

Competing against cheaper models and rival Android software - especially those made by HTC - the iPhone4 fell three places to number 6, according to comparison

website uSwitch. The website’s new mobile tracker, which ranks the top handsets based on live searches and sales, showed HTC dominating the top three spots with HTC Desire, HTC Desire HD and HTC Wlidfire.

The tracker also showed Android-operated handsets were a consumer favourite in the mobile market.

Half of the most popular mobiles are now running on the Google-owned operating system. A free handset is a

much more attractive proposition than shelling out for one especially at iPhone prices.

Ernest Doku, technology expert at uSwitch.com, said: “The competition is taking a huge bite out of Apple’s market.”

Android’s success has been attributed to its thousands of ‘apps’ developed to allow specific and unique functions like the ability to silence a call by turning the phone over.

Added to that, Mr Doku said customers were also turning away from the iPhone4,

which costs £500, because of more than 800,000 deals currently giving away a smartphone for free.

“A free handset is a much more attractive proposition than shelling out for one especially at iPhone prices,” he said.

The Blackberry Curve moved up to fourth place with enticing pre-pay deals and free handset offers starting from just £20 a month. Samsung’s Galaxy S took the fifth spot.

New DIY magazine According to industry PUBLICATION Marketing Week, B&Q is launching a monthly lifestyle magazine as part of its ongoing strategy to change perceptions of the chain and raise awareness of its design-led home furnishings and decorating ranges.

The lifestyle magazine, called B&Q Home, will feature home and garden focused

editorial content, including ideas for making DIY easier, new products and advice on how to approach home and garden projects.

It will feature advice from its celebrity brand ambassadors Alan Titchmarsh, George Clarke and Kirsty Allsop who recently signed up to front a campaign for B&Q. The DIY chain has also coined a new meaning for the term DIY - relabelling it “Design it Yourself”.

The print title will also include QR codes which will give smartphone users access to additional digital content.

B&Q says it has created its Home magazine to appeal to homeowners on a budget who are looking for DIY and home improvement advice that they can do on their own at low cost.

Lorraine White-Read, head of advertising at B&Q says: “B&Q Home is dedicated to providing readers with simple, easy ways to personalise their homes.

We’re very focused on making it easier for customers and this is the ideal vehicle to get this message across.”

DAVID HUDGELL Getting to the root of your gardening problems!

Email: David.hudgell@canarianweekly.com

At the moment here in Tenerife there are daisies all around us. The municipality gardeners are tidying up beds and planting drought tolerant daisies before the summer bedding and if you wander through the hillsides there is just a plethora of white spindly wild daisy bushes that you have to fight your way through.

Daisies, remind me of childhood they are simple yet sophisticated and a very beautiful flower.

Daisies belong to the Daisy Family of Compositae, now known as Asteraceae in flowering plants. Daisies are native to north and central Europe.

The origin of the word Daisy is Anglo Saxon “daes eage” literally meaning “day’s eye”. It was called this because daisies open at dawn as the day is just beginning.

In the flower world a daisy is the symbol of innocence, purity, new beginnings and it’s meaning is of love and loyalty.

Daisy did you know’s •Daisy is a perennial whose evergreen leaves form a rosette.

•Daisy flower plants have a habit of spreading.

•Daisies can be propagated by division in spring or sowing seeds in spring or late autumn.

•English Daisy is a serious weed in the northwest United States.

•The Daisy flowers open at dawn and are visited by many small insects.

•Daisies are used by children to make daisy chains.

•Daisy leaves are edible and

Daisy days Patio time can be used in salads.

A Daisy flower is composed of white petals and yellow centers, although the flowers are sometimes a pink or rose color.

Daisies are not one flower. A Daisy is made up of two types of flowers - disk florets and petal-like white ray florets. The Disk florets are at the center and the ray florets are at the periphery. But these are arranged to give the impression of being a single flower.

This arrangement on Daisies is a type of inflorescence known as a capitulum.

Stems of Daisies are smooth and leafless and support a single flower. Daisy plants have 3 4 inch flower stalks. The Daisy leaf texture varies and may be smooth or hairy, narrow at the base and slightly lobed. The Daisy flower stalks are generally longer than the leaves.

Growing Daisies can be grown very easily. Daisies are hardy perennials.

•Daisies are commonly grown from seed. Daisies can be directly seeded into the flowerbed.

•Plant Daisies in full sun.

•Select a sunny location where they can grow undisturbed for years.

•Before planting, add generous amounts of manure and compost, so as the soil becomes rich and well draining.

•If Daisies are planted in an area which is too hot, then they should be shaded and watered regularly.

•Set the plants 9 to 12 inches apart.

•Water the plants regularly during dry periods.

•Add a general purpose fertilizer in the early growth stage, and once a month afterwards.

Daisies Care •Generally Daisies are not bothered by insects and disease.

•If bothered by insects and disease, then treat Daisies with an insecticidal soap and or a fungicide.

•Just before the blooming, use a fertilizer high in Phosphorous as it helps to promote big, bright blooms.

My personal favourite is Livingstone daisy, easy to grow, enjoys full sun, and the time to plant seed is now. Many

catalogues and gardeners still call Livingstone daisies by their old name Mesembryanthemum criniflorum. This lovely succulent annual is a South African plant that revels in hot sunshine, and often refuses to open in dull weather or on heavy soils. On the ideal site it is matchless as colourful ground cover, the lax juicy stems smothered all season, if deadheaded, with immaculate bright daisies in various gleaming shades of red, pink, gold and white, all with a dark red conspicuous eye and often a contrasting pale inner zone.

Another popular choice is the African daisy. They are showy South African daisies that enjoy a good drought. In a hot sunny position on light soil, the silvery-grey bushes will be transformed into a startling show of large 10cm (4in) blooms in a vibrant colour range, from white and cream to bright red, with gold or dark centres. In dull weather and late in the day, they will close, but open again at a touch of sunshine and warmth. They deserve a prominent position and make ideal subjects for containers. Named varieties such as ‘Flame’, selected from among modern compact hybrids, also make excellent potplants.

The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

SINCE one of my articles about growing vegetable in pots i’ve had many enquiries asking if I found the seed – well, the answer is yes, there’s not a great choice but we’ll see how we get on.

I found the carrot seed I was looking for in the IKA garden centre in Cabo Blanco, not sure if they have them in Adeje as well.

I bought two types. The first is definitely the short variety – they’re round with short roots, they can be planted throughout the year and harvested eight weeks later. They are ideal for hard soils but also due to their shape, pots. They are produced by a company called Shal, who from Google appear to be a reputable seed producers in mainland Spain.

The second variety I have chosen look longer, but stumpy – descriptive I know – the make is Chantenay. The carrot variety even has it’s own website! “Chantenay – the everyday carrot that you really can enjoy every day.

Chantenay carrots are perfect for everyone.”

But, these are from a Spanish manufacturer, Semillas Fito. On the website

it says they’re difficult to grow. They look the part though.

I’ve crossed reference and they have the round carrots, called Carrot Rondo Seeds.

They say, “ Ideal for container growing. A tasty, uniform, round carrot with good internal and external colouring, which yielded well in our trials.

Ideal for shallow soils as well as containers. Globe-shaped variety.”

Going back to the Chantenay variety, Suttons say, “A first-class carrot, producing good quality, flavoursome carrots over a long cropping period. Increasingly popular in supermarkets, it is ideal for boiling, steaming or stir-frying.” It looks like they are popular as so versatile.

As to growing they suggest, “finely raked, moist, warm, weed free soil at a depth of 13mm (½”) in rows about 30cm (12”) apart (Germination 15-20 days). For table use, carefully thin the seedlings to 50-75mm (2-3”) between plants. If roots are required for exhibition wider spacing is recommended.

Crops lifted SeptemberOctober may be stored in sand in a cool garage. Carrots grow best in a sunny position in soil not recently manured. Sowing to Cropping 20-22 weeks. May be suitable for deep pot growing, the only way is to grab the carrot and try!

Tasty result for non-organic veg BELIEVE it or not, there appears to be little, if any, nutritional or taste benefits to growing food organically.

abrese had significantly higher levels of antioxidants than the organically-grown vegetable, while the nonorganic potatoes contained more Vitamin C than the organic crop.

That is the verdict of the respected Which? Gardening magazine following a twoyear study of three popular garden crops: potatoes, calabrese (broccoli) and tomatoes.

The magazine ascertained that non-organically-grown garden vegetables were tastier and more nutritious than those crops grown organically.

In fact, non-organic cal-

25 February 2011 - 03 March 2011

A panel of expert tasters found that the non-organically-grown tomatoes had a stronger flavour and were slightly sweeter than the organic samples.

69% of the public who par-

ticipated in last year’s “blind” taste test at the Totally Tomato Show at West Dean Gardens were in full agreement.

Initially, the Which?

Gardening team were sur-

prised to find that the results of this small-scale trial seem to point at nonorganically grown garden veg being tastier and more nutritious than home-grown crops.

Were the results down to the two regimes used, or were other, more complex interactions at play?

Ceri Thomas, gardening editor of the consumer magazine, said: “The surprising results of this small-scale trial call into question a lot of preconceptions about the taste and nutritional value of organic vegetables.

“However, this trial didn’t look at other benefits of going organic, such as the impact on the environment.”

He added: “Whatever methods you use, any gardener will tell you that homegrown fruit and veg beat supermarket fare hands down.”

CARL PATTISON from Robot, answers your hair questions

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

Email: carl.pattison@canarianweekly.com

It’s an Eighties remix!

HALLELUJAH! While scanning the internet and style magazines, I can actually say that the era I most relate to is back in the Eighties.

That was the era when style was ever-evolving, literally on a weekly basis.

Clothes were high on everyone’s list of things to save your weekly wage for, hair was not something you “had” but something you wore – just like a hat.

The shapes were superstrong, no airy-fairy flicks or waves. Oh no, your hair meant business! From cut to colour, from the blow-dry to the finish, you had to make the effort.

So now it’s back, the era of drama, dramatic colours, edgy cuts, streamline shapes which are 100% precision cut, plus 101% bang-on trend.

The biggest bonus is that they suit everyone, from classic bob shapes (concave, geometric, asymmetric and graduated, etc) to the “beret cut”, literally like the hat, bowl cuts - and even the good old “page boy” makes a comeback.

Like fashion, things don’t come back the same, and everything from the Eighties now has a 2011 twist.

Mind you, even that era was inspired by the Twenties, when hair first began to be cut like cloth; not chopped or hacked at, but cut to fall and show off every line and shape to perfection.

Colours should complement these new shapes, so forget

Page 40

highlights or subtle colours because shades should be bold and brave.

Naturals? Forget them because we’re talking vibrant reds, coppers, blondes even purples - and mix them together.

To enhance your cut and to show off your new look, block colouring will really add shine and gloss to your hair, but try to stay away from multi-tonal highlights as these can look dry on smoother hair.

Burgundy, the forgotten colour, can now be used without fear of looking dated. Ask Cheryl Cole! Okay, it’s now brown, but her dip into the red has really shaken up everyone’s safe colours of blonde or brown..

Rihanna red? Okay, it is very daring, but look how she has teamed it up with a classic full fringe and bob, and it never dates.

You can look at my examples and think, “I can’t have that”.

Well, just like the catwalks, they get “tamed down” by the time they get to the High Street.

Going for these stronger shapes can make finer hair look fuller, and even wavy hair can be tamed into these shapes.

Just don’t go trying to force these shapes.

The secret is in the cut being moulded to the shape of your head, but your hair-line and even your face-shape and jawline come into it.

So what are you waiting for?

Now’s the time to take the plunge and at least you can go for simple and chic to avant garde. And do remember to ask your stylist to show you the new blow-dry method.

And one final note: your new key word is “gloss” - glossy colour, glossy products, gloss styling. Forget anything texturised or choppy. If you want to be “in” this season, think retro, think Eighties!

Dear Christine, I worked in an office for six years but was unfairly sacked a few months back. I was always praised for my work, but there were suddenly some serious data entry errors which, I feel sure, were made by a lender going back into the system and changing numbers I had endorsed.

There was no way I could prove anything, though, and we had a new boss who didn’t know me very well. My problem is that I’m coming over badly in interviews because I don’t know how to answer when asked why I left my last job. Please help because there are only so many office jobs here for Brits.

Adela

Dear Adela, I’m sorry to hear that as a result of unfair treatment you’ve had difficulty finding work. As for how to answer that question, this seems to cover it: “I was always praised for my good work but, unfortunately, when a new manager came in, I got the blame for an error someone else committed.”

It’s important that you find employment as quickly as possible, but it would be helpful if, in the meantime, you took up voluntary work. You’d then be able to update your CV and references, and have a constructive way of occupying your time.

You can also fill your time constructively by going swimming, taking long walks, star-watching on Teide or joining a yoga/dance/drama/language class. You’re entitled to have a life while you’re out of work, but keep a firm eye on avoiding debt. All the best, Christine

Dear Christine, A few days ago I lost my first baby. I was only nine weeks pregnant, but after three years of trying I was over the moon. I’ve never felt so upset in my life and can’t stop crying. I can’t talk to my partner as he’s upset, too. Please help!

Leah

Dear Leah, I do feel for you because you’ve lost that future of yourself as the mother of this child. For a while, you may notice lots of other mothers with babies, which can heighten that sense of bitterness and loss. Of course, there are not more of them about, but you’re just more likely to focus on them.

I would recommend that you contact the Miscarriage Association, either by going to www.miscarriageassocation.org.uk or ringing their UK helpline on 01924 200799.

You may also find it a comfort to talk to a religious leader or have a ceremony of some kind, even just a small one with your partner, saying a final farewell to your child.

Many men feel the loss of a miscarriage just as acutely as women.

They’re struggling to deal with their own emotions and often think that a stiff upper lip is best for their partner, which makes them reluctant to acknowledge her pain.

Hopefully, you will be able to impress on your partner the fact that you need to talk about this. It will help you both.

I hope, too, that at some point you will have another child, if that’s what you want. It can’t replace the child you’ve lost, but it will be another unique individual. My very best wishes, Christine

Dear Christine, I’ve been with my boyfriend for two years and really love him. We get along well together but only when I try, desperately, to ignore the fact that he’s a liar.

It wasn’t too bad at first, but now I get the truth out of him only when it’s hard facts, and even then he tells me only half the story. I’ve tried being understanding so he wouldn’t be afraid to tell me the truth, and I’ve tried threatening him with leaving, but neither worked.

If I didn’t love him so much I’d have dumped him a long time ago. How do I deal with him?

Miss T

Dear Miss T, As I see it, you’re managing to cope with a difficult situation only by blanking out the unpleasant bits.

But these make up a large part of this relationship, don’t they? You say you love this man so, if you think back to when you were younger and dreamed of your ideal love, was this it? I think not!

Did you dream of someone who lies to you, won’t open up, totally disregards your feelings and leaves you frustrated and helpless? Of course you didn’t!

It’s not actually in your power to make him honest because only he can do that.

There are plenty of men who offer good, honest love that leaves you feeling secure and valued, which rests on an open and honest partnership.

The fact that you’re kind, loving and loyal means there are plenty of men out there who’d be delighted to have a girlfriend like you!

I wish you the courage and confidence to act in your own best interests.

Christine

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

Russian therapist whose remedies leave patients with song in their heart HE is known as The Man With the Healing Hands and this week, Eugeni enlightens Canarian Weekly readers about his background in alternative medicine, which plays such a big role in his life and the life of his many patients.

CW: Eugeni, where were you born and where did you study?

E: I was born in Russia, Siberia, and in 1973 I graduated from the philological department at the university. Later I attended schools for alternative medicine in Russia and in Latvia. I am a member of the Latvian Naturopaths Association.

CW: How long have you been working in Europe?

E: Since 1990, I worked and studied in Munich, Germany, where I graduated from medical college and earned the right to be called a “Qualified Therapist for traditional Chinese Medicine”. I then created a healing system called Energetic Cure Massage, based on different types of massage, reflexology, osteopathy, soft manual therapy and acupuncture.

CW: How long have you been in Tenerife?

E: I have lived here since 2002, working from my clinic at the Hotel Bitacora in Playa de Las Américas.

CW: Where are your patients based?

E: They are from all over Europe, but mostly Britain and Ireland.

CW: Which conditions do you treat?

E: On the first visit I make a diagnosis on the spine, ears, teeth, hands, face and meridian lines, and I and cure complicated diseases like ME, sciatica, arthritis, back and neck pain, headaches, insomnia, I BS and much more .

CW: We are aware that you have written a book on health, but when was it published?

E: In 2006, my book called Good Health came out, detailing many effective and easy methods to improve health, using techniques from Russia, India, China, Tibet and Korea. I stress how a well-chosen diet can improve health, enabling the body to avoid new diseases; I also give recipes for natural ointments, show exercises and

gymnastics from the Asia and give details of herbal baths. I also mention my own interpretation for the treatments of various ailments.

CW: We understand you treat stiff necks as well?

E: Yes, the most usual complaint is pain when trying to turn the head to the side where it hurts, often turning the body instead of the neck to look behind. It is often associated with a headaches and tinnitus.

The most common causes for developing stiff neck are: sleeping without a proper pillow, turning the head to one side while typing, sitting in a chair with armrests too high and exposure of the neck to a cold draft.

CW: What about insomnia? Can you cure this?

E: of course. Sleeplessness, or insomnia, is a symptom which may be caused by “tress, anxiety, depression, disease, pain, medications, sleep disorders or poor sleep habits.

Insomnia is classified both by its nightly symptoms and its duration. Sleep-onset insomnia refers to difficulty falling asleep. Maintenance insomnia refers to waking frequently during the night, or waking early. Insomnia is also classified in relation to the number of sleepless nights. Shortterm, or transient, insomnia is a common occurrence and usually lasts only a few days.

Long-term, or chronic insomnia, lasts more than three weeks and increases the risk for injuries in the home, at the workplace, and while driving because of daytime sleepiness and decreased concentration. Chronic insomnia can also lead to mood disorders like depression.

CW: Can you cure sciatica, because a lot of people limp and do not know what to do?

E: Yes, every week I treat patients who are suffering with sciatica. Sciatica[1] is a set of symptoms, including pain, that may be caused by compression or irritation of the left or right or both sciatic nerves. The pain is felt in the lower back or various parts of the leg and foot. In addition to pain, which is sometimes severe, there may be

25 February 2011 - 03 March 2011

numbness, muscular weakness, pins and needles or tingling and difficulty in moving or controlling the leg. Typically, the symptoms are felt only on one side of the body. This point is important because treatment for sciatica will often be different, depending on the underlying cause of the symptoms.

CW: Do you teach people?

E: Three years ago I started to give lectures with my personal programmes, using my own recommendation: “How to live and enjoy an active middle-age and retirement.”

The main idea is to retain the balance of the body and reduce chronic problems caused by injuries, stiff joints and arthritis. Entrance to these lectures is free and they take place at the Hall La Palma, Hotel Bitacora, Playa de Las Américas, every Wednesday at 2pm.

CW: You treat ME, so can you explain to us about this disease, please?

E: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or ME is a complicated disorder characterised by extreme fatigue, which may worsen

with physical or mental activity, but doesn’t improve with rest.

Although there are many theories about what causes this condition, ranging from viral infections to psychological stress, the cause is still unknown in most cases. But many people recover from chronic fatigue syndrome in time.

Chronic fatigue syndrome has eight official symptoms, plus the central symptom that gives the condition its name: • Fatigue • Loss of memory or concentration • Sore throat • Painful and mildly-enlarged lymph nodes in the neck or armpits • Unexplained muscle pain • Pain that moves from one joint to another without swelling or redness • Headache • Unrefreshing sleep • Extreme exhaustion after physical or mental exercise Eugeni is a physiotherapist, naturopath and masseur.

Deadly tumours are no match for a sniffer dog JAPANESE research-ers have reported a bowel-cancer breakthrough in the form of a dog which can scent it in breath and stool samples.

The specially-trained female black Labrador is said to be as accurate as hi-tech diagnostic tools, and the findings support hopes that an “electronic nose” will one day sniff out a tumour at its earliest stages.

Researchers at Kyushu University in Fukuoka used the dog to carry out 74 “sniff tests” over several months.

Each test comprised five breath or stool samples, only one of which was cancerous.

The samples came from 48 people with confirmed bowel cancer at various stages of the disease, and 258 volunteers with either no bowel cancer or who’d had cancer in the past.

They complicated the task for the eight-year-old canine detective by adding a few challenges to the samples.

Around half of the non-cancer samples came from people with bowel polyps, which are benign but are also a possible precursor of bowel cancer.

Around 6% of the breath samples, and 10% of the stool samples, came from people with other gut problems, such as inflammatory bowel

disease, ulcers, diverticulitis, and appendicitis.

The Labrador performed as well as a colonoscopy, a technique in which a fibre-optic tube with a camera on the end is inserted into the rectum to look for suspect areas of the intestine.

It correctly spotted which samples were cancerous and which were not in 33 out of 36 breath tests, and in 37 out of 38 stool tests.

The dog performed especially well among people with early-stage disease, and its skills were not disrupted by samples from people with other types of gut problems.

Previous research has also found that dogs can sniff out bladder, lung, ovarian and breast cancer, but using them as a screening tool is likely to be expensive.

The success of this experiment backs hopes for developing a sensor that can detect specific compounds, in faecal material or the air, which are linked to cancer.

There is already a non-invasive method for screening for bowel cancer, which looks for tell-tale traces of blood in a stool sample. But it is only about 10% accurate in detecting early-stage disease.

Leeks keep Welsh on track to celebrate St David’s Day THE Patron Saint of Wales is St David, who founded many monasteries and was said to live on bread, water, leeks and watercress.

St David, whose feast day is on Tuesday (1st March) and is the Welsh national holiday, lived to a ripe old age. To commemorate their national holiday, Welsh people wear leeks in their caps, or as a corsage (men in their jacket lapels) - and many a Welsh lad has admitted to nibbling at his corsage throughout the day!

In many places, contests are held to see who has the largest, longest leek, and the winner is urged on by the crowd to “eat some of your leek”.

Here is a typical Welsh recipe, featuring leek, of course, which will be scoffed by thousands of people in Wales on Tuesday.

Chicken and leek pie Ingredients Shortcrust pastry: 300g/10½oz plain flour, plus extra for flouring Pinch salt 30g/1¼oz cold lard, cut into cubes (optional - you can use all butter if you prefer) 85g/3oz cold butter, cut into cubes 2-3 tbsp cold water 1 free-range egg, beaten with a pinch of salt

White sauce: 30g/1¼oz butter 30g/1¼oz flour 600ml/1 pint milk 3 tbsp double cream 2 tsp Dijon mustard 1/3 chicken stock cube, crumbled Filling: 2 large leeks 30g/1½oz butter 3 Cox apples, cored and cut into large pieces 70g/2½ oz bacon lardoons (thick cut), or streaky bacon, diced 10 boneless chicken thighs, diced Bunch tarragon, leaves only (optional) Freshly-ground black pepper Preparation For the pastry, sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl.

Add the lard and butter and, using your fingertips, rub the fat into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Lift the flour into the air as you do so, to get some air into the mixture and keep it cool. Add just enough cold water to form a dough and mix together with a palette knife. Then, using your hands, bring the dough together in the bowl. Turn it out on to a clean, floured work surface and knead briefly. Shape it into a flattened circle and wrap it in

cling film. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes White sauce While the pastry is chilling, make the white sauce. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon over a medium heat for a minute or two, being careful not to burn it Add the milk all at once. Take off the heat and whisk the mixture with a balloon whisk Once all the lumps are whisked in, place the pan back on to a medium heat and whisk continuously until the sauce comes to the boil and thickens Cook for another five minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. Add the double cream, mustard and the crumbled stock cube. Stir well, and then allow to cool For the filling Top and tail the leeks. Slice them into thick rings and wash thoroughly in a bowl of clean water to remove any grit Method Heat a heavy-bottomed pan, place the leeks into the hot pan and add the butter. Add the apples to the pan with the leeks and cook for a few minutes. Add the bacon lardons and the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for a few minutes longer (the chicken will be only about two-

thirds cooked at this stage).

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6 . Place the chicken mixture into a pie dish and sprinkle tarragon leaves (if using) over the top Season with freshly-ground black pepper. Pour over the cooled white sauce Pastry For the pastry top, allow the pastry to get up to room temperature. Lightly flour a clean board and roll out the pastry into a rectangle about 1½ times the size of the pie dish.

With a knife, trim long, halfinch wide strips from the pastry. Use trimmings to make an edge around the pie dish by brushing them with a bit of water (to help the pastry adhere) and placing them in a single layer around the outer edge of the pie dish. Using rolling pin, lift the remaining pastry sheet and place it on top of the dish to form a lid Trim around the edge of the pie dish with a knife and use your fingers to crimp the edges (make a hole in the centre to allow the air to escape) Brush top of the pastry with the beaten egg and salt wash Place the pie on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbling hot and golden - and serve while hot!

Cornish pasties granted special protection THE CORNISH pasty has obtained protected status putting it on par with Champagne and Stilton.

The ruling from the European Commission means

Page 42

that only Cornish pasties made in Cornwall, following the traditional recipe, can use the name.

But authentic Cornish pasties can be baked elsewhere in the

country as long as they are prepared in the West Country.

The Cornish Pasty Association (CPA) submitted the application for special protection almost nine years ago.

CPA spokesman David Rodda said: “Receiving protected status for the Cornish pasty is good news for consumers but also for the rural economy.

“By protecting our regional food heritage, we are protecting local jobs.”

“Thousands of people in Cornwall are involved in the pasty industry, from farmers

to producers, and it’s important that the product’s quality is protected for future generations,” he added.

The CPA says a Cornish pasty is characterised by its “distinctive ‘D’ shape” and by “being crimped on one side, never on top”.

The filling should be chunky with no less than 12.5% meat, potato, swede, onion and a light seasoning.

As for the pastry, the casing must be “golden in colour, savoury, glazed with milk or egg and robust enough to retain its shape throughout the cooking and cooling process without splitting or cracking”.

Britain now has 43 protected products, with Cornish Clotted Cream, Melton Mowbray pork pies and Arbroath Smokies among the others.

Puzzle Rating: Very hard

Horoscopes of the week Pisces (February 20th-March 20th) The stars force your imagination to work overtime. They will also be bringing out your more creative side which, although could be good in your work, can wreak havoc in your personal life. Let your finances cool before you start digging into them again because you still have a big debt from last month to clear.

ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) When everyone takes care of himself/herself, care is taken of all. Remember this saying and try to put yourself first. You are worrying about things, which are not even in your control and it’s time to get life and love in proper perspective. Romance requires a white lie to be told, but success is at your fingertips.

TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) Saturn is trying hard to lead you into temptation.

This means that doing the wrong thing will seem like the most natural next step in the world. News you hear at this time may cause you to worry, but it is all part of life, and you must expect to have to take on these problems now and then.

GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) Don’t make fun of things you would not attempt yourself. It seems that a lack of faith in events has brought out a side to your character that does not suit you. Let that old Gemini charm kick back in, because it’s sure to win you far more supporters if you do. And it’s worth asking for more in your career this week.

CANCER (June 22ndJuly 23rd) You still seem to be spending much of your time wondering “what if?” and “why not?” Don’t cry over

spilt milk - just be happy to; get on with your new life. The past you left behind was not good enough for you anyway, as events throughout week will be trying to prove to you. Impromptu romantic links are worth pursuing.

LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Pluto is pulling quite a few punches out of the bag, but it is also making major events and issues in your life subject to delay. There was a time when this would have driven you crazy.

Not any more, though, as you find yourself in a more mature and responsible frame of mind. So your aim is look forward always.

VIRGO (August 24thSeptember 23rd) Your need to take relationships at a slower pace or you could cause a very strange reaction in a loved one who doesn’t seem to know if he/she is coming or going when it comes to your relationship. News of a birth or a pregnancy brings life and love into perspective, so cheer up and turn the impossible into something possible.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) There was a time when you would allow a loved one to hold you back from your dreams, but that is no longer the case. Take the bull by the horns and don’t be afraid to take a more independent stance with your business. either. Time out of the rat race turns out to be just what the doctor

ordered, and that independence you want is beckoning.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) Your ruling planet, Mars, is making you a little paranoid, and you may find it easy to accuse your close ones of things they would not usually even think about doing. There is much to be gained from looking at the facts and not just the fiction, which is currently flying around. It’s time to put your money into your dreams.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23rd-Dec 21st) You seem to be far more interested in exploring new horizons than you were last month. This seems to be largely because a loved one now has new found faith in who you are, and in your abilities to turn your dreams into a reality. Let older people have their say in life. Travel is essential to love right now.

C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) Passion and romance make for a very memorable week, but it is quite clear your life is becoming over-crowded. So try to make your decisions relating to the heart, sooner and not later, for everyone’s sake. Trust in your instincts in business midweek, as they’re the key to you impressing the faces with power.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) You should find yourself spending far more of your time in the company of the old faces who gave you so many memories last year. In the last few months, you seem to have been experimenting to see just what kind of faces you could attract.

The proof is in the old faces you are now drifting back towards.

Discover the Lost City of the Incas!

PERU, in the west of South America, is miles away from the problems being experienced in the regular tourist resorts and it is one of THE places to visit this year.

That’s because it is the anniversary of Mach Picchu, the pre-Columbian, 15thcentury Inca site, 2,430 metres (7,970 ft) above sea level. It is situated above the Urubamba Valley, 50 miles north-west of Cusco and through which the Urubamba River flows.

Peru is bordered on the north by Ecuador and Colombia, on the east by Brazil, on the south-east by Bolivia, on the south by Chile, and on the west by the Pacific Ocean.

Clinging to the Andes, between the parched coastal desert and the lush expanse of the Amazon rainforest, Peru offers such a wide range of experiences that it can be difficult to choose between them.

Solemn pilgrimages honour gods both Christian and indigenous. Neon-lit discos get jam-packed with young revellers. Ancient ruins divulge pre-historic secrets.

There are museums to visit, lakes to ogle, waves to surf, plus labyrinthine cities to explore.

Archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was built as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). It is often referred to as “The Lost City of the Incas” and is, perhaps, the most familiar icon of the Inca World.

The Incas started building the “estate” around 1400 AD, but they abandoned it as an official site for the Inca rulers a century later,

at the time of the Spanish Conquest.

Since it was never known to the Spanish during their conquest, it is highly significant as a relatively-intact cultural site. Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historical Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.

In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide Internet poll.

Although familiar locally, it was unknown to the outside world before being brought to international attention in 1911 by American historian Hiram Bingham.

Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction, and 2011 sees it celebrate 100 years since discovery.

On 24th July 1911, Bingham, who was employed as a lecturer at Yale University, announced

the discovery of Machu Picchu to scholars. He had been searching for the city of Vilcabamba, the last Inca refuge during the Spanish Conquest.

He had worked for years on previous trips and explorations around the zone when, to his delight, 11year-old Pablito Alvarez, a local Quechuas boy, led Bingham up to Machu Picchu.

The historian started

Even the Queen must be short of a bob or two!

MOST of us have had to tighten our belts to keep a check on our spending, but surely not one of the richest women in the world.

Sorry, but it’s true. The Queen of England, who has been to the four corners of the world many times, wants to appoint a Head of Travel on an annual salary of up to £75,000.

Whoever gets the post will be charged with tracking down the cheapest, green-

est flights (Ryanair, maybe easyJet?), and also manage the royal train and helicopter.

An advert on the royal website royal.gov.uk says: “This role is critical to ensuring that the royal household operates and purchases efficient, cost-effective and

appropriate travel services for the official duties of members of the Royal Family and their households.”

Applications for the post, based at Buckingham Palace, must be in by next month. The salary range is £55,000-£75,000.

archaeological studies, completed a survey of the area and then called the complex “The Lost City of the Incas”, which was the title of his first book.

He made several more trips and conducted excavations on the site through 1915, collecting various artefacts which he took back to Yale. Bingham then wrote a number of books and articles about the discovery of Machu Picchu.

The site received significant publicity after the National Geographic Society devoted their entire April 1913 issue to Machu Picchu.

In September 2007, Peru and Yale University almost reached an agreement regarding the return of the artefacts Yale had held, thanks to Bingham. Then, last November, a Yale University representative

agreed to return them to a Peruvian university.

A century after this historic finding, Machu Picchu has become one of the places that millions long to visit at least once in their lifetimes.

This anniversary is very special for Peru, and the government intends to arrange many celebrations throughout the year.

Meanwhile, prepare to send your vision (and camera) into overdrive. Peru is home to snow-capped mountains, giant sand dunes, flocks of brightly hued tropical birds, postcard-perfect volcanoes and rocky Pacific outcroppings inhabited by argumentative sea lions.

Throw in Machu Picchu, courtesy of Hiram Bingham, and what more could you possibly want from a holiday with a difference?

ON THE ROAD WITH JAV Behind the Wheel Email: Jav@canarianweekly.com

Life is a beach for Frank’s funky, future contraption!

THE Geneva Motor Show is, traditionally, where Frank M Rinderknecht presents his astonishing, futuristic motoring visions.

For years, he and his Rinspeed company have been displaying environmentallyfriendly, practical and extravagant creations, which offer possible solutions for the future of automobiles.

And next month’s Geneva Show gives quirky Swiss carmaker Rinderknecht the setting to unveil his BamBoo cabriolet concept car.

The golf cart design, or beach-buggy type machine, powered by electricity only, includes a number of weird and wonderful features in what Rinspeed describe as a modern take on the convertible.

For instance, there are unusual additions, including roll bars that change colour

according to the driver’s mood and a unique “Identiface” grille.

This allows passengers to display their pages from social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter on the front of the car, or even offer rides to their friends from a distance.

“This screen-based section replaces the radiator grille,

which is mostly redundant on an electric vehicle anyway,” says Rinderknecht.

Some of the technology is a little more old-fashioned, but equally obscure. The rear seats and the roof are inflatable, and they can be removed from the car for use on the beach.

Power comes from a 72bhp

electric motor, which gives the car a modest top speed of 75mph. True to its name, some of the car’s interior is made from bamboo and comes in shades of pink and red, called Salmon and Lobster.

This isn’t the first crazy concept from Rinspeed. Previous offerings have included a

Lotus lookalike which can drive underwater, and a coupé that transforms into a people carrier. The BamBoo, says Rinderknecht, is intended to push the reset button in your head and clear your mind for a new way of automotive thinking.

“It’s made for beautiful beaches and vacation spots all over this planet,” he says with a grin. “It’s a genuine world car, and there are definite plans for production.”

Its lines are simple and crisp, practically all the components are available off the shelf, and Rinderknecht says there have been constructive talks with a number of potential manufacturers.

His incredible concept car is actually intended to annoy the makers of what he calls “the over-engineered metal creatures whose single purpose is to never touch anything other than black asphalt.”

It is styled by New York pop artist James Rizzi as a beach

buggy, reminiscent of the Seventies in St. Tropez. But this is not a simple retro design.

The fascia looks like a giant breadbox, with a roller cover made of braided polymer which, when slid open like an old-fashioned desktop, reveals the a liquid-crystal instrument panel.

There is also a 180mm HTC tablet PC in a docking bay to ensure that BamBoo Bunnies are always connected everywhere. And, because the Rinderknecht model is made in Switzerland, the ignition key is built into a Swiss Army knife.

Yet the Rinspeed BamBoo is a real car and not a show mockup. Besides the 54kW Fräger electric motor, the steel chassis with horizontal shock absorbers carries a composite body and it runs on eco-friendly Goodyear “EfficientGrip” energy-saving tyres.

Life really could be a beach for owners of this incredible machine in the near future especially in St Tropez!

Welcome to Speedkills, says Mr Slow Down!

A RURAL Australian town in Victoria has changed its name from Speed to “Speedkills” to raise awareness of speeding.

The town has just 45 residents and one of them, sheep farmer Phil Down, has agreed to change his name to Phil

Slow Down as part of the campaign.

If it weren’t such a serious subject with an equally serious message, you’d think it was something to do with a comedy sketch.

But Speedkills, 250 miles north of Melbourne, will be named so for the month of March only, and will then revert to its original name.

Residents there are hoping that other places will follow

25 February 2011 - 03 March 2011

suit, especially the other five US towns also called Speed.

The name change following last year’s 25% increase of rural road deaths Down Under.

Despite the tiny population, the “Rename Speed” campaign page on Facebook has

already attracted over 33,000 fans.

On the page, its creators wrote: “Help us put a stop to rural speeding and reduce road trauma by passing the message on to your family and friends.”

The idea came from the

Victoria Transport Accident Commission, which asked residents if they would consider changing the name in exchange for a donation to charity - and only if the campaign could attract 10,000 supporters on Facebook.

Phil Slow Down said: “It’s vir-

tually on the road to somewhere else, so we’ve taken our quirky name and run with it to bring the attention to the campaign.

“We are genuinely trying to get people to slow down on country roads, and especially through small towns.”

Tenerife’s juicy carrot Celta Vigo 1 CD Tenerife 0 17th January 2010.

Officially, the most depressing day of the year. The world is rushing to get aid to Haiti after a massive earthquake.

The United Nations are threatening Iran with sanctions.

Gordon Brown has the lowest approval rating of any sitting prime minister since the First World War. Iyaz has the UK’s No1 single with Replay - and CD Tenerife are fourth bottom of La Liga!

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, you have to go back over 13 months to find the last day when CD Tenerife were not in a relegation zone. But that could all change tonight (Friday).

A win this evening over Xerez will see CDT leapfrog Las Palmas and sit above the dreaded drop zone.

Jose Luis Oltra, Gonzalo Arconada, Toño Hernandez, Juan Carlos Mandia and now Antonio Tapia have all taken charge of a side in the relegation positions. Wow, that's frightening.

Last weekend’s brave defeat to new league leaders Celta Vigo was harsh. Michu’s fine 89th-minute goal gave Celta the points after Tenerife had given them a decent game.

Dubarbier had a goal disallowed for offside, correctly, in the first half and Nino saw another effort whistle just past the post.

But this game is not worth a row of beans in the context of the season. Celta, like Betis, will surely go up, and last weekend, none of the bottom six won.

So for once, the match being moved has actually helped Tenerife. A win tonight will exert massive pressure on the sides below, and they all have tough matches.

Page 46

Albacete travel to Real Betis, Salamanca go to decent home side Alcorcon, Las Palmas go to fourthplace Granada and it’s Celta for Nastic!

Nobody should be counting any chickens as Xerez are on the cusp of the play-off places and will go fourth themselves with a win. They did finish below Tenerife in last season’s La Liga, and they have had an up-anddown return.

They looked to have turned a corner after Christmas as a few new faces started to gel, but last week they shipped three goals for the second straight weekend, and back-to-back defeats have made the fans restless again.

Their record in Santa Cruz is poor, and last season they were lucky to only lose 1-0, Alfaro’s late goal giving Tenerife the points in a match they dominated.

Like Tenerife, Xerez have maintained the bulk of the squad from last season, but their best player so far is their oldest.

Jose Mari has been around

the block a few times, but the evergreen striker has

found a new niche in the blue of Xerez. He has

bagged eight goals since signing from Nastic, and the strapping forward will pose Tenerife a few problems.

Tenerife welcome back Pablo Sicilia after suspension and have Mikel Alonso fully fit. He played his first match in six weeks, as a substitute, and should replace Kitoko in central midfield, with rejuvenated Antonio Hidalgo alongside him.

However, in training yesterday (Thursday), all three were in the same side with Hidalgo playing just behind Nino in attack. This would see Dubarbier wide left and Natalio starting on the right.

With Xerez expected to play 5-4-1, this would certainly work in Tenerife’s advantage.

The reintroduction of Hidalgo has coincided with Tenerife’s good recent run.

He has played under manager Tapia before and says the regime changed has helped a lot.

“I am enjoying my football at the moment,” he adds.

“When you are not playing it gets very frustrating, especially when the team are not doing well. What Tapia

does is very simple. But it works.

“I like the way he sets the team up, and we feel more comfortable. The new players have come in and given us a boost as well. We are very confident we will stay in this league.”

The rare Friday-night match is the start of a strange run of fixtures for Tenerife. They have the weekend off before a Tuesday-night match in Cartagena. Then, Tenerife have a Monday-night match with Barcelona B. Nothing too strange about that, you might think. But the game will kick off at 6pm on Monday 7th March. Yep, the game will start during office hours. It’s like Wolves playing at 4pm on a Thursday. Crazy!

Of course, nobody is taking any responsibility for it. Gol TV wanted the match to be played on the Friday, like the Xerez match.

But that would clash with a Carnival parade. The next TV date is the Monday, but since there is a La Liga game kicking off at 8pm, the Barca game has to be played at 6pm. Madness!

Team handicap heartbreaks!

IN previous seasons, the John Lowe Team Handicap competition has seen some tight and exciting matches, and this season has been no exception.

At Bar 180, the Knights B entertained league leaders Nauta A with a massive 270point head start. Rachael and her team put this to good use as they went into an early 3-1 lead.

However, Nauta A fought back, with Mitch hitting two maximums. Big Al added another to take the clash to a final doubles-leg decider, which saw both pairs on a double.

Sadly for Nauta, it was London who missed double14 to leave Adam to take out double-top for a 4-3 win in what, by all accounts, was a pulsating match!

At the same venue, Bar 180 A had a slightly easier task

against Toscales Ensecan.

And although the Valle San Lorenzo outfit took the first game the San Blas boys cruised through with a 6-1 victory.

Cafe Rood B had a useful 60-point jump on Nauta Nutters and, in another very close game which also went down to the last leg, the Nutters just missed out as they lost 4-3.

The evening’s drama continued at Yelas Bar during a real belter of a match with the Phoenix Bar. Holding a 150-point advantage, the Los Cristianos side went into a 2-0 lead with some solid finishing that really put Phoenix under pressure.

The Los Abrigos team then came storming back with Ashley, Steve Jones and Steve Submariner turning the tide. But Yelas were not done yet, and they took the first doubles to set up a nailbiting final game.

They then proceeded to

John Lowe Trophy semi-finals.

Bar180A 6-1 Toscales ensecan Knights B 4-3 Nauta A John Lowe plate semi-finals.

Cafe Rood B 4-3 Nauta Nutters Yelas Bar 3-4 Phoenix bar Division 2 catch-up match results.

BarracudartsBoys 8-0 Marilyns Amigos bad girls 2-6 Ourplace Naturals take the first leg and the visitors looked down and out.

But, in thefinal twist of a great night of darts, Ashley and Steve Jones kept their heads to set up a double-16 finish in the very last leg,

which the Jagermaster man hit with his first dart.

Breathless stuff all round!

Thanks to everyone at Yelas Bar for the fine hospitality and good sportsmanship.

By Geoff Huxtable

Results go to form for a change!

THE top sides in Division One of the Oasis Fm Pool League made hay in the Tuesday sunshine this week as only Bar 180 B lost from the first nine.

They went down only 6-4 against third-place Tenerife Hammers A in a close contest that could have gone either way in San Blas.

Summerland Superstars were too strong for Target Bar, despite Grandad Chris losing to leading lady Chantal.

Palms A were full value for their 7-3er at Allstars, Phoenix Knights regained

the thread against Nauta A and Trap Door made short work of La Caña.

Atlantis Sharks were made to work hard for their lastframe success over 8 Ball Massive, while Hoops are still on course for a top-five finish after beating Bar 180 A 6-4.

The surprise of the night came in Adeje as Men of Atlantis moved out of the relegation zone after their win over Rat Pack. It was the first win since November for Big John’s men. Terrace A and Toscales also drank from the victory cup this week Gaffers Bar are now heavy odds on favourites to win Division Two after a fine win at Exiles and another defeat

for Legends B. Their 6-4 reverse at in-form Nauta B was their fourth in six matches, and there are a host of sides breathing down their neck.

The fat lady was warming up when Bar 180 C led Bar Tasca 5-0, but there was a Newcastle-esq comeback.

Tasca roared back and Jamie sealed a famous draw by defeating Al to keep them third in the table.

Phoenix Potters made it a magnificent seven straight wins when they pipped Barracuda Bandits, and don’t write off Inn The Pink. The won a cracking match with Hammers C to make it five unbeaten, and they are still to host all the top sides.

Summerland Elite, Lupain and Terrace B all racked up deserved wins, while bottom of the table Connors could only draw a match they should have won at Toscales Tangos.

This Tuesday, it's quarterfinals night of the Liberty Seguros Cup and Plate.
