YURI GAGARIN, who flew into history as the first man in space back in 1961, will be honoured at a truly unique gathering of astronomers in Tenerife and La Palma over the next week. And among a galaxy of stars paying their respects to the late Russian cosmonaut will be none other than American astronaut Neil Armstrong. He commanded the Apollo 11 spaceship and landed it on the moon on 20th July 1969. The whole world then held its breath collectively while watching on TV as he left the spaceship and became the first man to walk on the moon, with Buzz Aldrin following minutes behind him. The Starmus Festival, to be staged generally at the Abama Golf & Spa Resort, is where the lecture Discover the cosmos and change the world! will take place from Monday to Thursday. The entire show will be an immense attraction to astronomers the world over because the Canary Islands are regarded as an astronomical paradise, with two of the most advanced astronomical observatories in the world, based here and in La Palma. Yet the glittering event, said to be the largest gathering of figures related to astronomy

The all-star supershow! Tenerife lays on a dazzling week in space for the masses
and space exploration ever held globally, may well appeal more to rock fans. That’s because Queen guitarist Brian May, a megastar in
his own right and a genuine star-gazer, will be playing at a special concert to highlight the week. He will be appearing along-
side the legendary Tangerine Dream, and the show takes place at the Magma Art & Congress Hall, in Playa de Las Americas, next Friday (24th June). Tangerine Dream, the German electronic group renowned for their film soundtracks, will be showcasing their own Sonic Universe concert there, as well as playing two new compositions with the Queen legend, dedicated to Yuri Gagarin and Alexei Leonov. Organisers are certain they are delivering a “unique scientific, artistic and musical event”, which runs from Monday (20th June) until Saturday. It is the brainchild of Dr Garik Israelian, an astrophysicist at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (Canarian Astrophysics Institute, IAC), in Teide National Park.
The Festival, primarily put on to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Gagarin’s space flight, will be supported by several worldwide scientific institutions and organisations. The festival director Garik Israelyan stressed “It’s a problem of values – we need to show young people that science and the space race are interesting. The future of our planet lies in space” There will be information about the Space Agency programmes in Russia and the USA. A young star gazer, a 10 year old Canadian girl will open the festival. Kathryn Aurora Gray discovered a supernova or exploding star with her telescope. Visitors will be seeing stars all the way - human and otherwise - during a host of recreational and informative activities, which will be made
popular and appealing to the ordinary public. Astrophotography, spaceart exhibitions, documentaries, star parties, talks and conferences are just some the endless activities that will delight music fans and astronomy aficionados alike. Starmus will be the first popular festival to link the many disciplines in astronomy and the space sciences, and will feature world-famous scientists and astronauts. Spookily, we are told that we will hear music made from the real sounds of celestial bodies, while renowned speakers and experts in astrophysics will bring science to the public at large. And in a unique webcast event, scientific speakers and Brian May - will gather for the round-table discussion 108 Minutes inside the dome Continued on page 3.

www.canarianweekly.com BRITAIN this week received a triple boost to its advanced engineering and manufacturing industries as the giant Spanish energy company Repsol led a number of fresh investments by major international companies in the UK. Repsol has agreed to buy 100% of Sea Energy Renewables, a Scottish company that promotes and develops offshore wind farms. The 57M (£50M) deal represents the entry of yet another major Spanish company into Scotland’s energy sector, following both Gamesa and Iberdrola. British Ambassador Giles Paxman said “This is a big vote of confidence in the UK economy and shows how Spanish companies continue to see Britain as an attractive place to invest. Scotland has a quarter of Europe’s offshore wind energy potential, and it’s great that yet another Spanish company has seized the opportunity to invest in Britain.” The news came in the same
Spain boosts the British economy Big boost for Britain as leading Spanish energy company and international car manufacturers show confidence in UK economy week as BMW of Germany announced that it will invest an additional £500 million (565M euros) in its UK production facilities over the next three years, most of it at Cowley in Oxford, home of the Mini. The famous car has been a symbol of British design and manufacturing for 50 years, and BMW sold more than 8,000 British-built Minis in Spain last year. BMW wants to expand the Mini lineup to seven models,
with a coupé version planned this year and the Mini Roadster in 2012 – both to be made in Oxford. Nearly two million of the model launched by BMW in 2001 have now been produced and sold worldwide, twice as many as originally envisaged. In addition, Nissan this week announced that it is to invest £192M ( 217M) in its plant in Sunderland, where it will design and build the next ver-
sion of its highly successful Qashqai car, of which more than 30,000 models were sold in Spain last year. It is also the UK’s tenth best-selling car. Giles Paxman said: “These deals show that international companies are increasingly aware of the UK’s manufacturing and advanced engineering skills. I hope that more Spanish firms will be encouraged to look at the opportunities on offer in Britain.”
Ambassador hopes Repsol, BMW and Toyota deals will encourage more Spanish companies to look for opportunities in Britain.

A WORD FROM OUR EDITOR
A new project Careless talk begins today
Email: editor@canarianweekly.com
JOSE Alberto Gonzalez Reveron retained his status as Mayor of Arona for the next four years on Sunday at the Town Hall, winning by 15 votes.
THE Ministry of Defence has issued ‘careless talk costs lives’-style videos warning servicemen and women about the security risks of social networking websites. Perhaps ‘Joe Bloggs’ in general should keep this in the back of their minds, a flippant remark, an internet comment can cause trouble, which is easily done with the rise of social media. My motto is if you don’t want anyone to know don’t even tell yourself! In one of the MoD clips released on YouTube, a mother posts a message on Facebook about her airman son who is serving in Afghanistan. He makes the first faux pas by sending a message about a VIP visiting his base - which she duly shares with all her friends. Then the doorbell rings and a man wearing a balaclava, camouflage gear and crossed bandoliers comes in and drinks a cup of tea as she
Page 04
shows him photos of her son. The video warns: “It may not just be friends and family reading your status updates.” In another clip, two sailors head for a night on the town after telling friends they have just disembarked their ship. One posts on Twitter that they will be going to a local club. Once inside, she tells her Facebook friends of her location using the Foursquare app. Moments later she is seen dancing with the same camouflaged figure as he waves an AK-47 above his head in time with the music. The clips have drawn parallels with Britain’s “Careless talk costs lives” propaganda campaign from the Second World War, in which Fougasse cartoons showed Britons talking as Hitler or Goebbels listened in. The MoD said in a blog to accompany the videos: “It might only take one careless comment, or posting a picture without checking what’s in the background to put friends and colleagues at risk.”
The leaders of all political parties which constitute the council congratulated him, and then pledged to provide rigorous opposition. For his part, José Antonio Fuentes (Arona Nationalist) confirmed that he would be supporting the new Canary Coalition government, and reiterated his party’s “support for the stability of the government for the sake of the neighbours”. José Antonio Reverón Gonzalez (Citizens for Arona) said: “I hope that the government and the opposition look out for the interests of Arona.” Dionisio Rocha, the PP spokesman, declared his intention to support measures that help improve the town. Finally, José Julián Mena (PSOE), said his party would provide constructive opposition, serious and rigorous, and added that it would be very difficult because of the economic crisis. After pledging his loyalty,
Gonzalez Reveron told those in attendance at the official inauguration ceremony: “This government is born of the popular will,” and referred to the day as “a historic moment, as we have validated the majority achieved in 2007”. The Mayor thanked the town of Arona and its confidence in management and said: “Today, a new phase begins, a complex but exciting project called Arona.” He also reminded the opposition groups that their task was to oversee the work of the government, and
appealed for all components of the corporation to “work from a base, with the utmost respect and dialogue, leaving aside any tension and aggression for the sake of Arona’s people.” Elected councillors Coalición Canaria José Alberto González Reverón Francisco José Niño Rodríguez María Candelaria Padrón Antonio Sosa Carballo Marta Melo Miguel Ángel Méndez Ramón García Eva Luz Cabrera Mónica Sierra Fumero

Santiago Del Teide JUAN Damián Gorrin Ramos, who has had his share of troubles over the past year or so, was more than happy to be re-elected as Mayor of Santiago del Teide on 1st June for the next four years. From the 17 newly-appointed council members, Ramos secured nine votes - eight from his own Partido Popular group - which was enough to leave Socialist councillor Inocencio Doble in second place. The Mayor said during the official inauguration ceremony that he was “deeply grateful” to the people of Santiago del Teide for the confidence placed in him. He also thanked all his party members and people who supported him, and he had complimentary words for Inocencio Doble, for his confi-
dence in him as a person and for allowing him to be Mayor again. Ramos also said would not forget those who were once his fellow party members and currently form part of the opposition (Candelaria Pérez, Óscar Tomás Pérez and Germain Jimenez), who commended the work done
towards the benefit of the Council in particular, and the town’s people in general. He closed by asking his fellow councillors for their full support and effort, plus peak performances, commitment and honesty because, he stressed, these were essential elements for his new task. Elected councillors

JOSE Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, sworn in as Mayor of Adeje again on Saturday, offered his baton to the public during the ceremony. It was as though he were offering them power to govern together for a more prof-
itable future for all after winning 13 of the 21 votes. “Let’s begin a new stage in the municipality of Adeje,” he suggested. “And this time, when local authority is constituted, with the guarantee of stability that we bring, I trust deeply and thank both the people and my colleagues and family.
“We are going to become a better place, hopefully, with consistency, loyalty, experience Then, as an apparent symbol of respect for the people, he offered his baton to them saying: “Govern together and ensure a profitable future for all.” Elected councillors

Adios to chiringuito The famous chiringuito and kiosk of Playa de las Americas has finally been demolished much to residents and tourist’s disappointment and despite months of campaigning against the Cabildo’s decision. The kiosk known as Surf Project and gave free surfing, pilates and yoga lessons on the beach front. Canarian airports have registered a 9.6% increase in flight operations compared to May 2010. Between the airports, nearly 2,500,000 passengers have passed through them, according to airport authority Aena.

LAST WEEK Canarian Weekly was privileged to be invited to TUI Travel UK’s presentation to hoteliers and suppliers. The event took place in the superb Sensatori Tenerife hotel, formerly known as the Gran Melia Palacio de Isora, situated in the Canarian town of Alcala.
Presenters from TUI Travel UK included Linda Phelps, General Manager, Spain, Jill Massow, Commercial Division and Neil Hayhoe, Area Manager, all of whom reviewed the achievements and challenges of their particular area during the past 12 months for both the travel market as a whole and specifically Tenerife and presented their plans for the future. Sensatori Tenerife is exclusive to Thomsons and the hotel is one of the best 5 star hotels on the island offering luxurious accom-
modation and a first class service for couples and families looking for a quiet relaxing holiday. So as host venue of the presentation it was even more fitting that as the presentation drew to a close Hotel Director, Carlos Martins, of Sensatori Tenerife received a Gold Medal Award for ‘Thomson Best Accommodation 2010’ collated from ongoing client feedback. You may have seen the hotel in Thomson’s TV advert. Created by Beattie McGuinness Bungay, the TV
advert captures people experiencing different things whilst on a Thomson holiday. Each personal moment is accompanied by a question asking what kind of person they are. The new footage was shot by Simon Ratigan of HLA on location in Tenerife at various hotels including Thomson’s Sensatori Tenerife resort. The ultimate holiday anthem, ‘Good Vibrations’ by the Beach Boys, re-recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is the music that accompanies the advert.
For the first time ever, the elaboration of the flower 35 carpets for Corpus Christi can be followed on various social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. The initiative is aimed at those who are unable to attend the celebrations personally but want to feel a part of this annual tradition focused on La Orotava.
TripAdvisor According to a recent survey by Trip advisor, mobile bookings are increasing phenomenally. The survey showed that 15% of holidaymakers booked their trip to Tenerife on mobile devices such as Smartphones or other tablets, with roaming charges still being the fundamental barrier to using such devices whilst abroad.
Road safety This week, the Dept of Road Safety in Tenerife began to install the 2.800 metres of separate lanes and protective barriers for motorcyclists, on all the busiest stretches between Santa Cruz and Las Galletas in an attempt to reduce the amount of accidents involving motorbikes.

Jet 2 Tenerife Lancashire leisure travellers can continue to enjoy friendly low fares from their local airport following the ruling made by the High Court in London that Blackpool Airport’s “sudden and unilateral decision to refuse to honour Jet2.com’s flights”, was “a serious breach of contract”. Judge Mackie QC strongly backed Jet2.com’s case and upheld the contract – securing the future of Jet2.com’s low fares leisure flights to sun and city destinations from Blackpool. The verdict is great news for holidaymakers from Lancashire and secures the jobs of Jet2.com’s 70 strong team based at Blackpool Airport. Blackpool International
Airport is a great departure point for travellers from Lancashire due to its ease of access via the M65 and M6, and as the airport is small it makes for a leisurely start to any holiday. To celebrate the ruling Jet2.com is putting flights on sale to six destinations for summer 2012 from the recession beating price of £29.99 one way including taxes. The popular flights to Jersey and Belfast will be on sale later this week – totalling eight destinations for summer 2012. For the first time, in 2012, Jet2.com will offer summer flights to the holiday favourite Tenerife – the airline has historically operated flights to the Canaries hot spot for the winter – the new summer flights will make this a year round route. The other destinations on sale from today are Alicante, Faro, Malaga, Majorca and Murcia. Flights for this summer and winter 2011/12 are already
on sale and selling well. Philip Meeson, the boss of Jet2.com, is confident that the news will be well received by North West leisure travellers, Philip said: “This is a great victory for our customers – Jet2.com is here to stay! We are delighted that our commitment to Blackpool and our dedication to maintaining friendly low fares have been recognised by the Court. We look forward to a secure future of serving our customers from Blackpool International Airport – providing flights to a fantastic range of sun and city destinations at convenient flight times and all at friendly low fares.” Matters came to a head last October, when Blackpool Airport Limited (BAL) refused to accept two of Jet2.com’s flights scheduled to arrive in Blackpool. The aircraft, carrying over 300 returning holidaymakers, many of which were families returning from half term holidays, were forced to divert to
Manchester late in the evening. Blackpool Airport had also threatened to prevent Jet2.com from takingoff or landing outside of the Airport’s published opening hours of 7am to 9pm, imposing restrictions which had never applied in the previous five and a half years that Jet2.com had operated from the airport. His Honour Judge Mackie QC ruled that, “it cannot be intended that BAL should be
able to pick and choose what to do in light of what suits it or Balfour Beatty financially”. He also ruled that Blackpool Airport must, honour the initial contract clause to, use its best endeavours to promote Jet2.com’s low cost services from the Airport. “Low cost” said the Judge “is of defining importance”. The Judge reached his conclusions after hearing 6 days of legal argument and live evidence of witnesses from both
sides. Witnesses included Jet2.com Chief Executive, Philip Meeson and Managing Director, Ian Doubtfire, Blackpool Airport Director Paul Rankin and employees of BAL’s 95% shareholder, a subsidiary of Balfour Beatty Plc. Jet2.com has carried over 1 million passengers since its started flying from Blackpool in 2005. Jet2.com operates flights from 8 northern airports on its fleet of 38 aircraft.

The following year, he released his second album All the Lost Souls (2007). Blunt’s third studio album, Some Kind of Trouble, was released last year in November 2010. Worldwide, he has sold over 15 million albums, definitely not a concert to be missed.

US superstars to get together at Golf Costa Adeje
Travel Awards 2011
AMERICAN music legends Michael Bolton and the fabulous Kenny G have joined forces for a super concert at Golf Costa Adeje this summer. It will be their first appearance in the Canary Islands, and the 8th July show looks certain to be a 10,000-ticket sell-out. The event is being organised and promoted by Canarias Sun Live Festival, who have enticed Elton John, Rod Stewart and Simply Red to the same venue in recent years. And they have promised to continue bringing global attractions to the Island “to generate economic development”. Gaspare Bertolucci, the company’s artistic director, predicted that the rare combination of Bolton and Kenny G “will make this show something very exclusive” He was accompanied at a press conference to announce the event by his Canarias colleague Jordi Esplugas, as well as Adeje Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga and the President of Ashotel, Tenerife’s hotels’ association, José Fernando Cabrera. The event is being supported by the Canary Islands Government, Tenerife Cabildo and the Adeje municipality. Esplugas said artists such as Irish superstars U2 had also been considered for Tenerife, but his company felt they could not yet accommodate such gigantic acts. But he pledged: “In the future, we will build a larger enclosure to meets the needs of these great concerts.” Adeje Mayor Fraga said he had given the project his “full support” as it served to “project the international tourism industry here”. Apart from a Valentine’s Day appearance together on stage in Las Vegas in February, Bolton and Kenny G have never appeared jointly before, so this will be a first for Europe. Bolton, now 58, has enjoyed an incredible career since his debut in 1975. He has sold more 53 million albums with his so-called soft-rock and romantic ballads, and he has always been a huge hit with the ladies on both sides of the Atlantic. Curiously, he specialised in hard rock in the early days with his band, Blackjack, and even toured once with Ozzy Osbourne’s heavy-metal outfit Black Sabbath. But once he had written How
Page 08
Am I Supposed To Live Without You for Laura Brannigan in 1983, it opened the door to his easy-going charm and music, and he never looked back. He had massive US hits with cover versions of Otis Redding’s Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay, and the classic Georgia On My Mind to establish himself firmly in that easylistening field by the early Nineties. Bolton has also performed with the likes of Patti LaBelle, José Carreras, Ray Charles, Céline Dion, Plácido Domingo, Wynonna Judd, BB King, Luciano Pavarotti and Percy Sledge, which is a pretty impressive selection. Supreme sax player Kenny G, 55 next month, is the biggestselling instrumental musician of the modern era, with global sales totalling more than 75 million albums. He has had eight top-10 albums, achieving two No1 singles on the US Billboard charts, plus accolades from both the American Music Awards and Grammy Awards. Throughout his illustrious career, Kenny G has collaborated with diverse artists such as Andrea Bocelli, Whitney Houston, Peabo Bryson, Toni Braxton, DJ Jazzy, Natalie Cole, Steve Miller (his only appearance on a rock and roll album), Celine Dion and Aretha Franklin. He admits to being influenced by the likes of saxophonist Grover Washington Jnr in his formative years, and his own albums are usually classified as “smooth jazz”. He is a aircraft pilot, and owns a De Havilland Beaver seaplane, which he flies regularly. And he is also acknowledged as the best golf-playing musician in the world, playing off a scratch handicap. So you can be sure he will be making use of the local courses - if he can make time after the concert. All in all, it looks as though Tenerife fans are in for a night of the smoothest of smooth music in Adeje on 8th July!
AS WE GO to print it has just been confirmed that The Guardian and The Observer Travel Awards 2011 will be hosted in Tenerife in September. Other candidates for the annual award ceremony

Facebook juror sent to prison THE first juror to be prosecuted for contempt of court after her online activities led to a retrial in a multi-million pound drugs case has been jailed for eight months. Mother-of-three Joanne Fraill, who admitted at London’s High Court to using Facebook to communicate with a defendant in a drug trial, was distraught when sentenced yesterday (Thursday). The 40-year-old, who also has three stepchildren, used the social networking website to swap messages with Jamie Sewart, in the third of four trials. During the case at Manchester Crown Court, estimated to have cost £6m, Fraill contacted Sewart, who was found to be not guilty of conspiracy to supply drugs charge. Fraill wrote to Sewart, who had asked about an outstanding charge: “Can’t get anywaone to go either no one budging pleeeeeese dont say anyhting cause jamie they could call mmiss trial and i will get 4cked to0".
The next day, Sewart informed her solicitor about the conversation - a move that triggered the contemptof-court action. Solicitor General Edward Garnier QC, said: “The jury system is a cornerstone of our society, and confidence in this vital part of our criminal justice system will crumble if jurors do not take their responsibilities seriously.” Fraill, from Blackley, Manchester, also confessed to conducting an internet search about Sewart’s boyfriend, Gary Knox, a codefendant, while the jury
were deliberating. The 34-year-old Sewart was handed a two-month sentence, suspended for two years, for her involvement, after also being found guilty of contempt. When told by Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge, the length of her sentence, Fraill cried “eight months!” before putting her head on a table and sobbing uncontrollably. The judge announced a short adjournment “for everyone to calm down” following the collapse of Fraill, whose daughter went into labour before the sentencing.
Sentencing Fraill, the judge said in a written ruling: “Her conduct in visiting the internet repeatedly was directly contrary to her oath as a juror. “And her contact with the acquitted defendant, as well as her repeated searches on the internet, constituted flagrant breaches of the orders made by the judge for the proper conduct of the trial.” Sewart later said: “I really feel for the woman. She's got kids. She apologised and she’s not a bad lady. I really feel for her.” Tearful relatives hugged Fraill before she was led away to begin her sentence. Lord Judge said that the communications between Fraill and Sewart “went much further than the expression of a compassionate concern”. He warned that a custodial sentence for any juror in Britain committing similar contempts “is virtually inevitable” and said: “The sentence is intended to ensure the continuing integrity of trial by jury.”

San Miguel Motor Cross – an exciting weekend SAN MIGUEL Motor Cross circuit was dressed in all its finery to host recently the third round of the regional motocross where the best riders in the Canaries got together.
This event received the the highest number of participants with more than 40 entries. The Moto Club Abona, organizer of the event was grateful for the invaluable collaboration of the Cabildo, San Miguel Town Hall and the Canarian Federation of Tenerife Motorcycling. In the 65cc category, the
17 June 2011 - 23 June 2011
presence of two riders from Gran Canaria added emotion to the championship. The final triumph was for Tomas Mercado who took advantage of the fall of Gran Canaria Pablo Herrera in the second round to climb to first place. The third place was achieved by Ayoze Valdivia.
For Gran Canaria riders it was the first time they had stepped onto the circuit of San Miguel, but, proved to have no problem adapting to the new routes. The categories of Veterans and Promotion, which are classified together and separately, all gave a true recital of motocross on the southern runway. Jose Domingo Ruiz who had won supermotad the previous week, showed no mercy to his rivals and dominated the first race from start to finish followed by Roberto Perales. Promotion was won by Nicolas Betencourt who maintained first place ahead of local rider Daniel Rijo. Mahy Villanueva had no rival. The Gran Canarian rider rolled through to the chequered flag. The current champion for MC Abona Darias Bruno managed a deserved second place. Andrea Sanchez took third place ahead of Aaron
Santana. MX2 soon jumped in by surprise as the driver and champion of MC Abona Jonathan Hernandez broke his bike engine in the warm up lap which made the list of favourites expand. Javier Lorenzo made use of the opportunity very well and dominated with ease. Ancor Villanueva took second place. But the highlight was at Elite. The presence of Miguel de la Rosa, Nareme MartĂn and Jonathan Rodriguez, the Tenerife squad trying to remove the number 1 Aitor Santana. And the first race did not disappoint. Miguel led the way for several laps then Aitor took turns until a small mistake by Miguel was his chance to pass him. Jonathan Rodriguez had a very bad start and was forced to catch up, reaching the fourth place. Nareme preceded him and the fight continued for several laps until the Suzuki
rider beat Martin and took third place. MC Abona rider Jonathan Moreno took the fifth place but the second set promised to be even more exciting. But Miguel de la Rosa led the race from start to finish. A problem with the gearbox of Aitor Santana delayed the race and Jonathan Rodriguez finished in second place. Santana also was given a 30-second penalty, which did not involve a change in classification for jumping the yellow flag after an accident on the track. We cannot ignore the presence of riders from Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura who, with a major financial outlay came to the circuit of San Miguel de Abona for the event. Congratulations to all of them and to riders from Tenerife who in turn, travel to other respective islands.

Spain unhappy with E.coli compensation DESPITE the protests of Spain and many other countries, the EU has approved a 210-million-euro compensation package for farmers who suffered losses through Germany’s E.coli outbreak. That is 60m euros more than was first proposed by the European Commission and will cover around 50% of the losses. But Spain, who suffered more than any country after being accused - falsely as it
transpired - of sparking the E.coli infection via its exported cucumbers, was said to be among those who opposed the sum at Tuesday’s meeting of the EU’s management committee. The EU said the payments would be accessible to all farmers who will have suffered losses from 26th May to 30th June initially, covering the produce of cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, courgettes and sweet peppers. The deadly outbreak has now caused 37 fatalities, following Tuesday’s death of a two-year old boy in Lower Saxony, north-west Germany.
I felt guilty because my soldier was safe Mother’s tears of relief as her son returns from Afghanistan
Beach attack ACCORDING to Spanish press reports two French men have been arrested following rape allegations by a 19 year old British tourist. The brutal attack took place in the early hours of Tuesday morning, on the Playa de Troya, in Playa de las Américas. The young holidaymaker was found by Adeje police wandering the streets carrying her bag dressed solely in her underwear at approximately 3am. In her struggle she had
managed to grab the identity card of one of the French men. As she recounted her story to Police she said that he had used it to cut cocaine during the evening. It’s reported she said the two men had invited her to take drugs. She had decided to accompany them but only for a drink, but later she lost consciousness and when she came round she was being raped by one of the two. She thinks they had spiked her drink. Police later arrested S.I.R.M. and his friend at home in the Costa del Silencio area of Arona. They will appear before the judge in Arona shortly.
House prices fall
HOUSE PRICES have fallen once again according to the National Statistics Institute, which says that prices were down 4.1% in the first quarter of this year compared to the previous quarter and down 3.5% compared to the first quarter last year. It means that we have now seen three years of reduc-
Page 10
tions. House prices started to fall in the second quarter of 2008. The Bank of Spain has said that house prices have now fallen in Spain by 25% since the start of the crisis. Investment in property is down almost 50%. Meanwhile the costs of property rental have increased by merely 1% over the past year, with the price rising far lower than inflation. The numbers come from Fotocasa and show rental costs fell 0.6% in May compared to April.
CAROLE HART wept emotionally when her soldier son James came home safely from his first tour of Afghanistan. But her tears of joy were mixed with those of deep sympathy for the parents who lost their children, or were injured in the bitter conflict. Carole, who runs the successful Swallows Club in Los Cristianos, was at the regiment’s Wiltshire base at Tidworth with husband Mike to welcome James and his comrades back. The relieved mother, who this week spoke movingly about the reunion, recalled: “For all our joy, it was so humbling to see the soldiers who had returned injured, some in wheelchairs. “One was a multiple amputee, and I actually felt guilty because I was celebrating my son coming home safely - and I could only imagine how his mum felt.” Carole, who was seen on ITV news hugging her son and wearing a sweatshirt proclaiming MY SON’S A HERO, added: “When they paraded on to the area in front of us, and the Commanding Officer made his speech about how brave and good these men were and what they had achieved, that was me gone. I was in tears. “Then we got to hug James again. I did not want to let him go and I don’t think he want-
ed to let us go. The three of us just stood there for ages hugging and me crying. It had been a long, hard seven months.” But for all their happiness and relief, the couple already know that some time in the future, they will have to do it all again because James will be heading back to Afghanistan. James, who celebrated his 21st birthday in Afghanistan, has been a solider for five years and was on active duty in the war there from midOctober until mid-May, attached to the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment (known as “Tankies”). He is an electronics technician, currently with Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, and moves from regiment to regiment every two years. His parents are popular members of the congregation at San Blas Roman Catholic Church, on Golf del Sur, where they assist parish priest Father Pedro every Sunday. Carole added: “ My worst days were Christmas and his birthday - Christmas as it was the first time we had not been together, and his birthday for obvious reasons. “It felt so strange not to have James, or my daughter Mikaela at Christmas and, in some respects, it was just another day for us. But we just had to fly home to welcome him back, and it was very emotional for the three of us. “Having the Swallows Club to
run helped me so much over the winter as I was so busy, and the people there were always asking me about how James was. They were so kind and kept me going.” “But we accept that this is what James wants to do, and he is proud to serve Queen and Country. It was nice to be among the families waiting for their loved ones to come home. “There were children wearing hoodies which said Mmy Dad’s A Tankie, and also an 11- week old baby boy who was dueset to meet his daddy for the first time. “Mike and I have always supported Help for Heroes, and it is so good to see fund-raising events held here in Tenerife. Cand certainly, some of the lads James served with out in Afghanistan will be looking to them for help in the near future. “It is such a worthwhile cause and vital to those soldiers, who have given so much for all of us.” Major James Cameron, Officer Commanding the Badger Squadron Warthog Group - the final 2 RTR squadron to return to the UK - paid tribute to his men and told their reception committee: “It is good to be home and be reunited with our families and friends. “Badger have had a fighting tour and I am extremely proud of how the soldiers have fought over the past six months. We can look back with satisfaction on a hugelysuccessful tour, in which we
have helped our Afghan partners develop, and I believe we can be proud of what we have achieved. “It has not been easy, and we are glad that some of our wounded comrades were able to join us for decompression in Cyprus, and we really enjoyed seeing them all again. “We have been working away from the regiment for a long time now, and we are looking forward to being back as part of the 2 RTR family again. “But most of all, it is time for us to thank our families for the support they have given over the tour. It has been tough for us, but we know the battle at home is just as tough. “We are immensely grateful for the patience and support of all those at home, who have kept us going through our time in Helmand.” Once the dust had settled on the celebrations, young James decided to visit his parents over here, and he has just spent two weeks in Playa de Las Americas, chilling out with his pals. However, the family still have one more celebration to look forward to because they are going back to the UK next month for the regiment’s medal presentation ceremony. Carole said: “I am sure there will be another day when I will be crying - with relief and pride in our son, but also sadness for those mums whose children did not come home to them.”

Forest Europe THE MINISTER for the Environment, Rural and Marine Affairs, Rosa Aguilar, signed a mandate last Tuesday for negotiating a legally-binding agreement on forests in Europe, which was adopted at the Ministerial Conference on the topic in Oslo. Spain, which is co-hosting the Conference with Norway, has promoted this document in which the Member States that signed up to Forest Europe have taken this initiative and set up an InterGovernmental Negotiation Committee to develop a legally-binding agreement on forests that is aimed at the following, among other things: To guarantee sustainable forest management in Europe and the long-term supply of goods and services from forest eco-systems; To strengthen the contribution made by forests to offsetting climate change; To slow down the loss of
forest biodiversity in Europe and to combat desertification; To achieve and maintain conditions in European forests that enable a contribution to the green economy, employment and the development of rural and urban areas; To reduce, with an aim to eliminating, illegal logging and the resulting trade in illegal timber and products associated with wood. Furthermore, the Ministerial Conference in Oslo adopted a series of objectives for European forests with a 2020
17 June 2011 - 23 June 2011
time horizon. These objectives are based on a vision that is shared by all the Member States that signed up to Forest Europe. In this regard, the text states that attempts will be made “to shape a future where all European forests are vital, productive and multifunctional; where forests contribute effectively to sustainable development, through ensuring human wellbeing, a healthy environment and economic development in Europe and across the globe; where the forests’ unique potential to support a green
economy, improved quality of life, climate change mitigation, biodiversity conservation, enhancing water quality and combating desertification is realised to the benefit of society”. To promote this vision, objectives and 2020 targets for forests, Forest Europe will improve cooperation on forest-related policies in Europe. To do so, the policies and instruments used for sustainable forest management will be updated and the application of commitments to forests and sustainable forest management in all European countries and the region as a whole will be assessed and monitored. Furthermore, efforts will be made to promote education, research and the use of scientific knowledge and experiences will be exchanged between countries, sectors and parties interested in sustainable forest management. Information will also be published regarding the contribution made by Forest Europe to sustainable forest management in the appropriate forums, both at an international level and among the public in general.
Zara profits just keep on blooming
WITH an ambitious international expansion programme in the offing, the owner of the Zara brand has posted fabulous profits for the first quarter. Spain’s Inditex, the world’s largest fashion retailer announced a 332-million-euro profit for the February-April period, which was up 10.3% from last year. Sales jumped 11% to 2.96bn euros, while earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation, or EBIDTA, was up 7% at 601m euros. The group opened 110 stores in 29 countries during the quarter, bringing the total to 5,154, and said it was “providing a snapshot of the global growth potential of the
Inditex Group’s retail concepts”. They included the opening of Zara’s first Australian store, which increased the number of countries where Inditex has a base to 78. Inditex, whose other brands include youth label Bershka and the upmarket Massimo Dutti, is also planning its first stores in South Africa, Taiwan and Peru this year. And e-commerce operations of Zara, present in 16 European countries, will launch in the US from 7th September. Overall, the Inditex success story continues to blossom, with a reported 33% jump in profits to 1.73bn euros in the financial year ending 31st January. Asia was the fastest growing revenue source, expanding its share by three points to 15%.

Day of strikes ready to cause major disruption Schools, sixth form colleges, job centres, courts and government offices are set to close on June 30th after four unions voted to strike. The walkout by up to 750,000 workers will also involve prison staff, police community support officers, immigration officials and staff at the DVLA. The latest to announce industrial action was the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) in a row over pensions and job cuts. More than 60% of those who voted backed a strike - but the turnout was only just over 30%. The walkout by the PCS union, which represents around 300,000 workers, will take place on the same day that hundreds of thousands of
teachers also plan to strike. The legitimacy of strike mandates and the debate about minimum turnout in union ballots is right back on the political agenda now, after pretty derisory voting levels in the ballots by teachers, university lecturers and now civil servants. Millions of schoolchildren and students in England and Wales are set to be affected by the walkout by the National Union of Teachers (NUT), the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL), and University and College Union. More than 300,000 teachers were balloted in total, and the walkout is set to be the biggest day of action by teachers in decades. Members of the PCS union
voted by 61.1% in favour of strikes, and by 83.6% for other forms of industrial action, in a turnout of 32.4%. The union is protesting at planned changes to pensions as well as job cuts and a pay freeze for civil servants as part of the Government’s austerity measures. Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude said it would be a “big mistake” for teachers and civil servants to go on strike while negotiations were still continuing, with fresh talks planned for later this month. Mr Maude said the turnout in the PCS ballot was “very low”, with fewer than 20% of union members supporting the “unnecessary” industrial action. The Department for Education said a strike “will only damage
pupils’ learning and inconvenience their busy working parents”. Sky’s Tom Parmenter said: “The PCS union action will cause widespread disruption. “The strike will hit job centres, tax and benefits offices, the courts, driving test centres, ports, airports, coastguard stations and various government departments. “If ongoing talks fail to reach agreement over the next fortnight then June 30 will be a day of mass action.” On its website, the PCS says its members work in areas including air traffic control, benefits and welfare advice, border and immigration, coastguards, courts service, customs, and defence maintenance and support. And also
information technology, police support, royal palaces, security, state pensions and taxation. PCS leader Mark Serwotka said: “This result shows that public servants, who provide vital services from the cradle to the grave, will not stand back while everything they have ever worked for is taken from them. “The Government admits that money cut from pensions will go straight to the Treasury to help pay off the deficit in what is nothing more than a tax on working in the public sector. “The very modest pay and pensions of public servants did not cause the recession, so they should not be blamed or punished for it.” Meanwhile, talks aimed at
averting a series of strikes by London Underground workers in protest at the sacking of a driver have broke down. The Rail Maritime and Transport union accused Tube bosses of refusing to discuss the reinstatement of the driver, Arwyn Thomas. He has taken a claim of unfair dismissal to an employment tribunal, with the result due by the end of the month. The union is planning a series of strikes, starting this Sunday evening, which will hit the Wimbledon tennis championships. Both sides met at conciliation service Acas for two hours today, but the RMT said the talks had broken down and the strikes were now set to go ahead.
Prince Harry ‘going back to Afghanistan’ PRINCE HARRY looks set to return to combat duty in Afghanistan next year after reports he has been cleared to go back to the war zone as an Apache helicopter pilot. The 26-year-old spent 10 weeks in Helmand province in 2008 as a forward air controller, calling in air strikes against insurgents. But his deployment was cut short after a media blackout was broken and it is understood he is keen to return to the country. A spokesman for Clarence House said Harry’s deployment would be a matter for the Army when his final training comes to an end in 2012. He said: “Harry is an Army pilot and will deploy wherever the Army chooses to send him. “His course finishes in 2012 and after that his deployment will be a matter for the Army
Page 12
chain of command. A Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokesman would not confirm or deny the report, saying: “We cannot comment on the deployment of individual service personnel.” But reports say defence chiefs and the Queen have given the go-ahead for Harry to return. In 2008, the Prince, a British Army captain, directed jets to drop bombs on Taliban positions in Helmand. But his tour of duty was abruptly ended when foreign websites broke a media ban on
reporting details of the then 23-year-old’s service. It was feared at the time that his continuing presence would have increased the chances of attacks on the troops around him. The Chief of Defence Staff at the time, Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup, said any future deployments by the Prince would depend on ensuring there was no additional risk to fellow military personnel. The Prince was quoted in 2008 saying he wanted to go back to Afghanistan “very, very soon”.
Asked whether it was a risk for him to go back, Sky’s royal correspondent Paul Harrison said: “It’s always a risk when you have someone who is behind Prince William in terms of being in line to the throne. “He does want to do this. He’s a firm believer in why have a million pounds worth of training only to stay behind. “He sees his brother doing a job as a search and rescue pilot in Anglesey, and his job he believes is serving his country. “He will push for a return to Afghanistan. They (royal officials) probably will almost certainly have a media blackout again”. Harrison added: “Given that a blackout in the future hasn’t been discussed yet shows this is a long way off. “He’s got a lot more to do. He doesn’t qualify, assuming he does, until 2012, so from that
moment on I think he will be pushing very hard indeed.” He would not be the first royal to fly a helicopter in a combat role. His uncle, Prince Andrew, carried out multiple missions during the Falklands War in 1982. Known on base as Captain Wales, Harry is a qualified Apache pilot. The royal is now on a sevenmonth conversion course at the Wattisham base in Suffolk, learning to fly the helicopter in attack mode before being assigned a squadron. He is expected to be based at the flying station for four years. Asked in March what his aim was after he qualified as an Apache pilot, the Prince said: “My goal is to serve my country like everybody else in the British forces. “I count myself very, very
lucky to have the chance to fly helicopters and even luckier to have the chance to fly the Apache. It’s a fantastic piece of kit, it’s like flying a robot.” Sky’s defence correspondent Niall Paterson: “Clearly there are always risks but we are in a markedly different situation from a few years ago when it was muted Harry might serve in Iraq but it was deemed too dangerous. “There are not a huge number of Apache helicopters and clearly they would be a bit of a prize to the Taliban. “But given there are so few of them I think he shares the risk that others in the Army air corps will be sharing. “Having spoken to Apache pilots recently, I think they will be of the opinion if Harry is able to fly the helicopter and has the necessary skills set then why not.”

The total lunar eclipse turns moon blood red
A LUNAR ECLIPSE provided a visual treat for sky watchers across the globe - with ash from a Chilean volcano turning the moon blood red for those in some countries. Most viewers in UK were left
Page 14
disappointed, with the natural phenomenon not visible in most areas. But people in Asia, eastern Africa, the Middle East and western Australia were much luckier, enjoying clear sightings of the dramatic spectacle. Experts said the ‘deep lunar eclipse’ lasted an unusually long time, with keen amateur and professional astronomers
in Iran, Lebanon and India gathering to take it in. Scientists said such eclipses often exuded a coppery colour, depending on the amount of ash and dust in the atmosphere. But there was less luck for air travellers, with the grounding of hundreds of flights around Asia. The period when Earth’s shadow completely blocks the
moon - known as totality lasted more than one hour. The full moon normally glows from reflected sunlight. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon glides through the long shadow cast by the Earth and is blocked from the sunlight that illuminates it. Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to watch with the naked eye.
Balls calls for VAT cut to bolster UK economy THE SHADOW chancellor has called on the Government to reverse the rise in VAT until the economy is “growing strongly again”. Ed Balls said the move would increase consumer confidence and help the retail sector. “By putting more money directly into people’s pockets, it would be a boost for consumers who are feeling the squeeze from rising prices and rising taxes - especially pensioners and those on low and fixed incomes,” he said in a speech at the London School of Economics. The Chancellor raised VAT to 20% from January. “The question is not the cost to George Osborne of paying for this temporary emergency tax cut, but the price our country will pay if he carries on regardless,” he said. Mr Balls accused George Osborne of “keeping his fingers crossed and stubbornly ignoring the economic evidence” that his plan is not working. He argued that “the path our economy is being taken down is the wrong one...it could prove very damaging for growth, for jobs, for public services, for living standards, for the deficit and for interest rates too”. And accused Mr Osborne of
risking permanent damage to the economy by pressing ahead with spending cuts. He drew a parallel between Mr Osborne’s refusal to produce a “Plan B” with the illfated decision by the Conservatives to enter the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) in the 1990s. While Labour made some mistakes - notably in failing to regulate the banks sufficiently, blaming it for today’s problems was a strategy “based on total fiction”, he insisted. But he admitted there was “no doubt that Labour has work to do to restore its reputation for economic stability”. Mr Balls also took a swipe at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) after it gave its approval to the Government’s deficit-reduction strategy last week. The acting head of the IMF, John Lipsky - who appeared alongside Mr Osborne to deliver that verdict - had been among experts backing Britain’s continued ERM membership in 1991, he said. “He was far from being alone in the City in holding those views. But the consensus of that time was not right. Political support crumbled, credibility collapsed and the pound was withdrawn,” Mr Balls added.

Weekly bin collection promises are binned
‘Worst’ of UK’s primary schools to be upgraded AROUND 200 failing schools in England are set to be converted into academies as part of a Government strategy to boost standards.
PLANS to reinstate weekly bin collections have been shelved by the Government after a row between Cabinet ministers. Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman announced the findings of the Government’s Waste Review - a cross-department examination of how to tackle waste. It contains a u-turn on the Communities’ Secretary Eric Pickles’ pledge to bring back weekly rubbish collections. Sky News understands Mr Pickles and Ms Spelman have clashed over the policy. One Whitehall source told Sky News: “Defra officials have been trying to block all the bin policies from day one.” However, the Department for Environment claim they cannot force councils to reinstate weekly collections without giving them more money. About 9.5 million households - almost half the homes in Britain - now have their general rubbish collected only every two weeks. The review states: “The Government will be working with local councils to increase the frequency and quality of rubbish collections and make it easier to recycle, and to tackle measures which encourage councils specifically to cut the scope
of collections. “The Government understands that the public have a reasonable expectation that household waste collections services should be weekly, particularly for smelly waste.” There’s often infestations of maggots, flies and rats and foxes ... and bags emptied all over the place - it’s not ideal. Ms Spelman told Sky News: “We formed a Government with another party and in our coalition agreement we commit ourselves to try to increase the quality and frequency of refuse collection. “I think it is no secret we have come into Government and the country is severely in debt. “We have had to make savings but nonetheless we will support councils that want to increase the frequency and quality of their refuse collections. “We want to help people that want to do the right thing and waste less and recycle more.” Earlier this year it was reported ministers were going to offer financial incentives to councils to reinstate the weekly collections. But it is understood that once the £100m cost was discovered the proposals were scrapped. Bin collections are a thorny issue for the Conservatives as a return to weekly collec-
17 June 2011 - 23 June 2011
tions was a key pledge in their election manifesto. In opposition David Cameron criticised Labour for allowing more than half of councils to reduce rubbish collection to once a fortnight. Communities Secretary Eric Pickles declared: “It’s a basic right for every Englishman and woman to be able to put the remnants of their chicken tikka masala in their bin without having to wait two weeks for it to be collected.” Ministers have unveiled a range of measures on waste, including an end to “criminalising householders for trivial bin offences”. At the moment, people can be given a fixed-penalty notice of up to £110 if they repeatedly break the rules governing rubbish collections, such as recycling incorrectly or leaving waste out on the wrong day. Penalties for persistent flytippers or those who allow vast amounts of rubbish to pile up will be increased, however. The Review also includes proposals to help companies and small businesses reduce waste. Labour claims the u-turn has left the Government in “chaos”. Caroline Flint, shadow communities secretary, said: “This latest evidence of the Government in chaos is a personal humiliation for Eric
Pickles. “He has spent years leading people on with overblown promises to restore weekly bin collections, despite Labour’s warnings that he would never be able to deliver. “The Local Government Secretary should learn the lesson that chasing headlines is no substitute for properly worked out policies to make communities cleaner, greener and better places to live.” Estimates of the costs of reinstating weekly bin rounds have been put at £140m in the first year alone. Campaigners say scrapping weekly bin collections has led to rat and pest infestation but others say it is not all bad news. Bristol City Council introduced fortnightly rubbish collections in 2006, although food waste and recycling are still collected weekly. In the five years since the scheme has been running, the council says it has recycled 100,000 tonnes of waste that would otherwise have gone straight to landfill. A spokeswoman said the city was now producing 23,000 tonnes less general waste than in 2006, and that recycling rates were up. Councillor Gary Hopkins added a move back to weekly bin collections would risk losing those gains was “totally unnecessary”.
Education Secretary Michael Gove is expected to say that the country’s weakest primary schools will be shut and re-opened as academies next year. In a speech to the National College for School Leadership in Birmingham, Mr Gove will warn that the education debate in this country has not “confronted reality”. He will say: “Education systems across the world are improving faster than England. We have to set our sights higher.” Around 1,400 primary schools in England are currently below the basic standards they are expected to achieve. That means they have less than 60% of their pupils reaching a basic level in English and Maths at age 11, and children making below average progress between the ages of seven and 11. Of these 1,400 primaries,
about 500 have been below those standards for two or three of the last four years. A further 200 have been beneath the threshold for the last five years, with 120 of them failing to hit the targets for more than a decade. It is these that are expected to be turned into academies - semi-independent state schools that receive their funding directly and have more powers over areas like the curriculum and staff pay and conditions. Secondary schools are also to be set a new target of securing five good GCSE passes for at least half their students. Mr Gove wants to end what he claims is a low expectations culture in some schools. The new target of 50% of pupils achieving five A* to C grade GCSEs - including English and Maths - will mean the worst-performing schools have to raise their results to the level currently attained by an average school. In the last set of GCSE exams, 870 secondary schools out of 3,000 in England would not have met that new standard.
Lampard’s ‘surprise’ proposal to Bleakley Chelsea footballer Frank Lampard has got engaged to his TV presenter girlfriend Christine Bleakley while on holiday. The player made the “surprise” proposal during a break in Los Angeles. Daybreak host Bleakley, 32, and her fiance are both said to be “delighted” - though it is not known when the wedding will be. The celebrity couple began dating in 2009 after meeting at an awards ceremony. Her spokesman said: “I am pleased to confirm that Christine Bleakley has accepted Frank Lampard’s surprise engagement proposal in LA. “They are obviously both delighted but there are no immediate wedding plans and the couple will not be making
any further comment on this happy and private occasion.” Speaking about their relationship in an interview, Bleakley said: “We enjoy our own little home life. “Cooking together, lighting candles, watching TV - and going to bed rather early. We’re very compatible.” The presenter said she and Lampard - 33 next week tended to shun the usual showbiz haunts and prefer to go “under the radar” to local restaurants. She said it had been “quite an old-fashioned courtship”. Lampard’s agent Steve Kutner described it as a “surprise engagement proposal”. The midfielder has two children from a previous relationship with Elen Rivas, his ex-fiancee. They split in 2009.

America’s Cup boat flips over during a race A CATAMARAN being tested for the America’s Cup has capsized during an exhibition race, flinging its crew from the boat. Oracle Racing, the winners of the 2010 America’s Cup in Valencia, were trying out new boats ahead of the 2013 race at the Golden Gate Yacht Club in San Francisco. During the show race, in San Francisco Bay, a strong wind caused a new AC45 catamaran to flip over completely. Two of the crew were flung into the water but two others
manage to hang on. One crewman was taken to hospital for an x-ray, although he was not thought to be seriously hurt. The boat was skippered by Oracle Racing’s chief executive, Russell Coutts, who was competing against Americas Cup captain James Spithill. Coutts told reporters before the race: “We’ll be ducking it out and trying to beat the hell out of each other to get these guys ready to go and race the cup.” Spithill added: “They’re the fastest boats out there at the moment, and to get the most out of them you have to push.”
Elizabeth Hurley is divorced in just 92 seconds ELIZABETH Hurley’s four-year marriage to businessman Arun Nayar has ended in a 92-second divorce hearing. The couple were granted a decree nisi by District Judge Penny Cushing at London’s High Court. The actress had petitioned to end the marriage on the grounds that it had broken down because of his ‘unreasonable behaviour’. Court papers said the judge “held that the respondent (Mr Nayar) has behaved in such a way that the petitioner (Ms Hurley) cannot be reasonably expected to live with the respondent”. Neither Hurley nor her estranged husband attend-

ed the hearing but have agreed to share the costs of the divorce. The 46-year-old actress married the Indian textile heir in 2007 at Sudely Castle in Gloucestershire. The couple also had a traditional Hindu wedding at Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, India. Hurley left Nayar last year amid reports of her romance with Australian cricketer Shane Warne. The model announced the split from her husband via her Twitter account after she was photographed kissing Warne in December 2010. Meanwhile, Nayar has been photographed in the company of 25-year-old model Kim Johnson, who he is reportedly dating.
Decline in users hints at ‘Facebook Fatigue’ FACEBOOK is said to have suffered a second successive slump in users in America and Britain, leading some to suggest people are tiring of the ubiquitous social media site. Worldwide, user numbers are nearing 700 million, according to Inside Facebook, which tracks its popularity - but it also says Brits and North Americans are turning off in droves. Facebook aims to attract one billion users - it currently has around 687 million but has reportedly lost 100,000 British users overall in May. Commentators think this is because Britons - and six million in America, who also closed their accounts last month - are suffering from ‘Facebook fatigue’. US user numbers slumped to 149.4 million in May, down from 155.2 million. In Canada there was a drop of about 1.5 million, and numbers also decreased in Russia and Norway. We are very pleased with our growth and with the way people are engaged with
Facebook. It is the second month in a row that Facebook growth has stalled - the figures suggest that there could be a natural limit for the social networking site. In the first half of the year executives announced that there were 30 million accounts in the UK - about half the population. That number was an increase of about four million from last July and was the highest proportionally in Europe. However, the fact that it now has 100,000 fewer British users than a month
ago should be a concern for founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. There is speculation gathering that this could be due in part because the social networking site, which launched in 2004, has not recently added anything new to keep users entertained. In addition, many have concerns about privacy. Last week, Facebook attempted to roll out a facial recognition system which caused an outcry. However, it is picking up new users in developing countries like Brazil and Mexico, for example.
A bullish statement from the site said: “From time to time, we see stories about Facebook losing users in some regions. “Some of these reports use data extracted from our advertising tool, which provides broad estimates on the reach of Facebook ads and isn’t designed to be a source for tracking the overall growth of Facebook. “We are very pleased with our growth and with the way people are engaged with Facebook. “More than 50% of our active users log on to Facebook in any given day.”
Gladrags at Mulberry as profits skyrocket LUXURY fashion brand Mulberry has reported a 358% jump in pretax profit to £23.3m. The brand, best known for its handbags, including a line named after model and TV presenter Alexa Chung, increased its like-for-like sales by 43% in the year to the end of March. Its total retail sales were worth £73.5m. Mulberry’s chairman, Godfrey Davis, said the company had delivered a “step change in profitability”. “Strong demand has continued in all markets has continued into the new financial year and the outlook for the Mulberry brand is positive.” Its share price has risen by more than 500% in the last year. Online sales at the company grew by 64% in the last year, and now account for 8% of Mulberry’s sales. The company said sales at its New York and Paris stores grew by 122% and 151% respectively.
It has doubled the production of women’s handbags as a result of the rapid increase in demand and is expanding capacity at its Somerset factory by 30%, creating some 50 new manufacturing jobs. Despite its record profits, Mulberry has remained cau-
tious about future sales while it continues to expand its international operations. The figures for the current financial year, to the 4th June, show like-for-like sales were up 42% on the same period last year. Established in 1971,
Mulberry has 86 stores worldwide, including 44 in the UK. In addition to Chung, the brand has a number of high profile-celebrity followers, including Kate Moss, Kate Bosworth, Cheryl Cole and Gemma Arterton.

Tablet wars: iPad rival Playbook is all set for battle THE COMPANY behind BlackBerry smartphones has launched a tablet which it hopes will compete with Apple’s iPad. The PlayBook, which has gone on sale exclusively within the Carphone Warehouse concession at Selfridges, will take on Apple’s hugely successful gadget. It is priced at £399 - the same as the 16GB iPad2. BlackBerry maker Research In Motion (RIM) hopes the device, which can be synchronised with a BlackBerry, will attract young buyers who want speedy web access and the ability to play video with a single touch on the screen. The PlayBook has a 7in screen, compared with 9.7in for the iPad2. But questions have been raised over whether its bat-
tery life will match up to the iPad’s ten-hour charge. Speaking to Sky News Online, James Holland from electricpig.co.uk said the new gadget has been aimed at the wrong target audience. “The ideal place for the PlayBook is the business market as it is a fantastic piece of kit, but it’s just not suited to the younger market - which Apple’s iPad is. “BlackBerry doesn’t have that ‘cool factor’ which the iPad does - it’s not a trendy device, it just doesn’t have the credentials. “From a business perspective, the PlayBook is great it gives businesses flexibility and a bit of a ‘cutting edge’ factor, however it seems that marketing has got hold of it and thought that it should instead be aimed at youngsters.” The PlayBook does not have built-in email and calendaring apps, so you must
either use online email apps or connect it to a BlackBerry phone using the supplied Bridge software for these functions. This is likely to cause frustration to those who do not have a BlackBerry phone. Holland added that the new gadget is unlikely to compete with the huge number of apps on market for the Apple’s tablet. There are currently 90,000 apps available for the iPad. “The Playbook will support Android applications, of which there are about 3,000 - so nothing like range available to the iPad. “To be honest, if you’re planning on spending that much money on a tablet, you will automatically go for an iPad. “Most people who carry BlackBerrys are either given them by work or chose them because their friends have them and they can use the messaging system for free.”
Take That gigs: Drunken women spark A&E surge
MIDDLE-AGED female fans of Take That drank so much at their concerts they caused hospital admissions to soar. The number of people admitted to Manchester Royal Infirmary increased significantly on six of the boy band’s eight dates at Eastlands, starting on June 4th. In all, doctors said they treated about 160 extra patients - a 10% rise on aver-
age levels. Most had suffered minor drink-related injuries, such as ankle sprains, but serious cases included alcohol poisoning. More than 100 of the patients were female fans believed to be in their 30s and 40s. Some 60 women were ejected from City of Manchester stadium for being worse for wear after drink. One steward claimed women had behaved worse than unruly football fans. A spokeswoman for the
17 June 2011 - 23 June 2011
hospital said: “Alcohol was definitely a factor.” Police had 21 reports of crime in or near the ground before, during and after the concerts – including offences for public order, theft, assault and sexual assault. Ten concert-goers were arrested. Pubs around the venue had been asked to help prevent brawls by not selling alcohol to concert-goers, but it was still on sale inside the ground. Some 480,000 people watched the gigs in Manchester.

Spanish Taxes you must pay
THIS week, I’d like to talk about Spanish Taxes and though it is not an extensive view of the topic, it does give a glimpse of a subject that affects residents and non-residents. A British citizen living over here is liable for Spanish taxes (like any Spaniard) and nonresidents who may have an income, or have properties in Tenerife, could be also liable for Spanish taxes, irrespective of his/her nationality. Personal income tax (Impuesto a la Renta, or IRPF): This tax is paid by all Spaniards resident in Spain/Tenerife. In the case of Britons working here, the tax must be paid in Spain (presenting in the UK the corresponding tax exemption). OAPs can choose in which country to pay tax on their pensions. Non-residents income tax (Impuesto a la Renta de NoResidentes): This is applicable to non-residents who own a property in Spain/Tenerife and just work a few months during the year there. Inheritance tax and gift tax (Impuesto sobre Sucesiones y Donaciones): Applicable in every Autonomic
Community within Spanish territory. Even if the inheritors (beneficiaries) are nonresident, they must pay this tax if the assets are located in Spain. There has been an exemption since 2008 for this tax in the Canary Islands. In fact, it is not an exemption but a rate set so low that it is the equivalent of an exemption. The exemption is applicable, subject to the conditions regulated in Law (for instance, relatives like children, spouse, or residents in the Canary Islands, and it is different for movables or immovables. IVA (VAT): This is a national tax (standard rate 18%). In the Canaries, there is a special exemption of VAT, although the applicable tax is IGIC (similar to VAT) which has a standard rate is 5%. There are exemptions to IGIC tax (as in the case of VAT). Transfer Tax and Stamp Duty (Impuesto de Transmisiones Patrimoniales y Actos Jurídicos Documentados): Applicable to certain housing (real estate) transactions (conveyancing). For instance, when you buy a property, you have to pay this tax (rate 0.75%, 6.5% depending on the cases) within a month from the date of the signature of Title Deed. If you buy direct-
ly from a developer, then the applicable tax is IGIC to be paid to the promoter and you are exempted of Transfer Tax (although you have to pay Stamp Duty). Property Tax - rates (Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles or IBI): Paid to the Town Hall every year. Normally it is due in July (although it may change depending on the Town Hall. It is calculated on the cadastral value of the property. Rubbish collection (Basura): Normally assessed per house or complex. It is charged periodically, depending on the municipality where you live. Motor Vehicle Tax (Impuesto sobre Vehículos de Motor): A local tax paid to the Town Hall of residence, based on the age of vehicle and power of engine. The larger the city, the higher the tax. Not included in this list are Corporation Tax ( paid by companies), Building Tax (paid by building developers) and other special taxes (there are many) as they exceed the purpose of this article.

Callao Kids are really having a Paws for thought! ball at their lively youth centre THE Callao Kids Youth Club, which opened nearly 18 months ago, is going from strength to strength, thanks to Beverley and Dennis Corbett. It is open to schoolchildren aged 10-17 in the Callao Salvaje area, and its aim is to provide activities and a place for them to meet, somewhere to talk, to play games including table tennis, and some even do their homework! Beverley and Dennis were aware that the village did not provide many opportunities for fun and games for youngsters, so they started the club as a way of keeping them off the streets. Dennis says: “We have organised trips to Loro Parque and to the tenpin bowling in Fañabe. And, in addition to indoor events, we have also played petanque in the village. “For the first year, it opened on a Sunday night in borrowed premises but now, thanks to the generous help of the Atlantic Holiday Centre, we have our own club premises next to Witzend in CC Albatros, Calle La Lava. “The club continues to open on a Sunday evening between 7-9pm, but from 28th June it will open on Tuesdays from 5Upcoming events … TOMORROW (Saturday), we are having a bbq fun afternoon at Olivers Bar, opposite the Arona Gran Hotel, Los Cristianos, from 2pm. There will be plenty for the kids to enjoy, including a bouncy castle, with live entertainment from Pip Brown, Avril Taylor, Michaela, Phil Gibson, Steve Delsey, Aidy Evans, Indiana, Scott Batemen, Luke Towler, JJ Gibson and Alfie B, all hosted by Suzy q and Gordon King. Come and spend a sunny afternoon with us. Next Friday (24th June), we will be celebrating Mid-Summer Night at Restaurant Maria, El Nautico Suites, Golf del Sur. Come and join us for fish, chips, and live entertainment at this stunning, front-line venue. Tickets are only 10 euros and include supper and a free entry into a prize draw. There’s also entertainment from the one and only Nick Page, Phil Gibson, Suzy Q and Tanya Tevaro. Tickets are selling out fast, so get yours from El Nautico Cafeteria, or Suzy q on 629 388 102. On Wednesday the 13th July we will be at Legends, Los Cristianos, for an event still in the planning stages. Finally, pencil Sunday, 31st July in your diaries, as a day not to

7pm.” Proud Dennis adds: “During the school holidays, we intend running special events in the day, as well including a “try-dive” session and a trip to Siam Park. “Now that our facilities are better, we are looking for new
members to join us. At present, our members are all British, but we are open to any child from 10-17 who can speak English, Spanish or German.” Parents wanting more information, or wishing to visit us
can contact Dennis on 636 815 318. Club facilities are free to members, and costs are covered by running events in the village, and by donations from generous individuals, bars and organisations.
ACCION DEL SOL, the animal refuge centre, are launching a new campaign this autumn to provide dog therapy groups and they are looking for volunteers! Dog therapy in English and German hospitals, educational centres, nursing homes and day-care centres is becoming more and more popular, especially in places where people may be restricted from having pets. It has been proved that people can benefit physically and emotionally from regular contact with the unconditional love of a dog. There are establishments in Europe where the presence of dogs is deemed invaluable in aiding a person’s recovery, or for therapeutic reasons. In Spain and in the Canaries, however, this kind of therapy hasn’t yet been deemed as important as it should be. If you have a few hours to spare each week, and have a compassion for animals and have your own transport - and would like to be a volunteer on this new programme - then please contact Accion del Sol on teneriffa@aktiontier.org or call 922 778 630. You will be introduced to their programme and advised in the world of emotions. Everything else you will learn at the refuge, so get in touch. Marion, who runs the Granadilla-based sanctuary, and her staff, are awaiting
your call. If, on the other hand, you feel you would benefit by having a visit from a volunteer and a dog, please contact her as well. Celeste is another little beauty at Accion in search of a new home with lots of love in it. And what dog-lover in need of a companion could possibly turn her down? There are over 220 dogs there, ranging from small, medium to large, all looking for new homes. Please visit Accion Del Sol if you are looking to adopt a dog. The refuge is open Monday-Friday (3-6pm) and it is situated at junction 51 on the TF1, right next to the ecological wind farm ITER, at Granadilla Poligono Industrial Estate. Marion is also looking for dog-walkers, so if you have a little bit of time on your hands. then turn up and make a dog or two very happy. Why not join our Accion Del Sol Facebook? The address is pagehttps://www.facebook.c o m / h o m e . p h p ? r e f = c a nvas#!/profile.php?id=1000007 29042460 which carries daily updates on the good work done there. Remember, every dog brought there by the various Town Hall dog-catchers receives full veterinary care, is bathed, deflead, wormed, inoculated, micro-chipped, passported and sterilised or castrated, all ready for its new home.
Live Arico Update be missed. Watch this space. Home-made treats Treat your pooch to lovely, home-made snacks from Kimbos Pupcakes. They are made with natural ingredients and include such items as carrot cupcakes topped with doggy chocolate. They are a hit with the refuge dogs, and are on sale in our shops at just one euro per bag. Or, you can place your orders direct with Kim on 628 850 339. And yes, she makes human treats, too. Hand-painted pet portraits Local artist Alison Sturgess has designed a range of greetings cards, for just two euros, and they are now on sale in our shops. She will also hand-draw or paint portraits of your pets and donate 25% of her fee to Live Arico. Her work is firstclass and can be viewed at http://www.alisonsturgessartist-illustrator.com/ Top Dog grooming TOP DOG, based on the ground floor of the Apolo Centre, is a new animal-grooming centre which plans to work closely
with Live Arico. Owners Chris and Melody have offered to groom and pamper our dogs prior to rehoming, and will also act as the point of contact between pooch and new owner.

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 658sqm of land up to now, making a total of 3,290 euros. The plan to buy our own plot of land remains, possibly 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 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. Important telephone numbers Eugene: 649 001 907 (call if you find an animal abandoned or in distress) Suzy Q: 629 388 102 (fundraising, press releases, prize donations, etc) Pete Holland: 661 099 365 (Poochies Pet Hotel for boarding your dog) Debbie Gibson: 637 918 158 (shop donations and collections, overseeing land purchase) You can also read about us at www.livearico.org http://twitter.com/tenerifedogs or http://tenerifedogs.blogspot. com Lastly, as we have said before, please think hard about what will happen to your pet if you are re-locating to the UK.

Wimbledon 2011 Monday 20 June, 1:45pm, BBC1 Sue Barker presents live coverage of day one of the third Grand Slam event of the year, featuring the latest men's and ladies' singles first-round matches. Britain's Laura Robson acquitted herself well on Centre Court on the opening day of last year's championships, before losing 6-3, 7-6 to number four seed Jelena Jankovic. Several of the top seeds struggled to adjust to the grass courts on a day of intrigue, with Marin Cilic, Ivan Ljubicic, Stanislas Wawrinka and Francesca Schiavone all falling at the first hurdle. There were also problems for defending champion Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Nikolay Davydenko, before all three survived five-set tests against Alejandro Falla, Olivier Rochus and Kevin Anderson respectively. The commentary team includes Barry Davies, Boris Becker and John Lloyd. Continues on BBC2.

This powerful one-off documentary goes behind the media hype to discover six inspirational stories – and explains why far from condemning our kids, we should be celebrating them. The day-to-day life of service children is a far cry from a care-free childhood. At the start of this year, almost 5,000 children had a parent serving in Afghanistan. The film follows one of them, 11year-old Daniel, who explains, with a maturity beyond his years, what life is like when your Dad’s away. “Will I see my dad again? That’s the main worry at school,” explains Daniel. 15-year old Sarah shares a similar maturity - she has grown up caring for her severely disabled mother. She is one of what is estimated to be as many as 700,000 Young Carers in the UK who are providing personal care to someone

at home. She is always on call for her mother who has cerebral palsy. She puts her mum first, before her sporting aspirations and social life. Far from being bitter or resentful, Sarah wouldn’t change her position for the world. “I prefer having a mum that’s disabled, “explains Sarah. “Because of everything we’ve been through with her disability we’ve got a better relationship.” Michael, 13, also shows remarkable courage. Michael has a rare condition called Dejerine-Sottas which causes severe muscle weakness and loss of sensation in his limbs, making it difficult to feel heat touch and pain, and means he is reliant on his wheelchair for mobility. Michael shows great determination and has set himself a goal – he wants to be a Paralympian. Michael started horse riding as therapy for his condition, but it has changed his life forever. “Riding has made a massive difference in my life. Without riding I wouldn’t be able to sit up, I’d barely be able to lift my neck,” says Michael. “My
dream is to go to the Paralympics. That’s always been my dream and I really hope one day that I can fulfil it.” The documentary also meets a young boy from Dagenham who bucks the trend of wanting to be a pop star or top footballer – he has his sights set on becoming a top ballet star; a young girl who came to the UK as a refugee from Eritrea, where she had never seen ice, and who has since discovered a passion for ice-skating; and the charity Dance United, which has designed a unique and innovative contemporary dance project that aims to turn young peoples’ lives around. For the young people featured in this film, life has been a battle against their background, circumstance, disability and possibility of loss. These kids are not unique, they are like thousands of others where life is just a little bit more complicated than the constant barrage of bad press and dismissive headlines would have us all believe. So, perhaps the kids really are alright.

I CAN’T be the only one on this Island getting fed up with trying to park the car, can I? I have now lost count of the many times I’m driving in Cristianos or Americas and, from the corner of my eye, an empty parking space can be seen. I’m the only person in Tenerife who actually uses indicators to show I am slowing down and turning into a space. So, as I make way to it, I’m also praying that the usual idiot drivers have not parked OVER the white lines because their car cost over 100 euros and
Page 34
they own the roads. So I get to the space and am just about to drive in when, in fact, it’s not empty. There’s a 50cc motorbike, no bigger than a matchbox, right in the middle! It seems the thing to do for motorcycle owners to take over a whole space. I feel they should do what they always do when in a traffic jam and that’s to take the smallest gap in the traffic to go on their way. It’s not as if they don’t have their own parking facilities! You can see them all over the place: a lovely line of slim parking lines just for a motorcycle. In fact, next time I come across a bike taking over a car space, I will
take up 15 of theirs! We obviously have ample parking space all over the place. But it seems impossible these days to actually find one empty, and it’s not only the motorcycles but the council rubbish bins as well. Have you noticed the amount of spaces taken up with these things? Look at every allotted space for cars to park and you will see at least 10 long bins, side by side, doing what they do best - pong and annoy me. I don’t understand why they have to do this. There are plenty of corners with what looks like waste ground that they could use all the time. But

no, they decide to play with our minds and temper. The final annoyance of parking spaces has to be the worst offender. I’m seriously thinking of getting a rubbish skip converted into a car. With massive alloy wheels and leather interior. You think I’m joking? Not in the slightest as they seem to be in fashion these days. Not only is this a habit downtown, but right outside my own house. There is the longest skip I have ever seen in my life, taking parking places up at mine. It just seemed to appear one day and, obviously, you can understand if someone
is getting work done if it is needed. But I have yet to see it filled with anything! Even it were being filled, it should be taken away that day. But no, it just sits there, day in, day out, looking at me as if to say: “I’m annoying you.” And it is. It has been weeks now and I have no idea who it belongs to as I have not seen anyone near it. It could even be the new shopping trolley. Remember, years ago, it was the in thing to find a shopping trolley everywhere? Street corner, down by the river, even entrances.. I never understood how they got there.
Perhaps people who obviously did a big shop and then found that they did not have enough to get a taxi or bus home? So now we are stuck with skips taking over carpark spaces, even in a private area! Yes, I could use the ample cheap-rate car parks in town but then, why have the spaces all over the place for us? I could go on forever about this, but what’s the point? Motorcycles will still think they are the size of a bus. Rubbish bins will still get treated with dignity - and skips will just appear like Dr Who’s tardis! Joe

Make yourself comfortable - with a real touch of Style! NO matter where you go in Tenerife, you are almost sure to have sat on some stylish seating by Mike and Phil, from Style Tenerife, also known as “The English Upholsterers”. For nearly eight years, they have been providing benchseating, chairs and stools for bars and restaurants, from Los Gigantes to Golf del Sur. And they have over 60 bar clients, including some famous names like Taylors Lounge, Wigan Pier and the Rovers Return. But these UK-trained master craftsmen are also specialist in all kinds of re-upholstered seating for your home, including sofas, corner groups, armchairs, recliners and bed settees. The business has evolved over the last eight years here, and Mike says: “Although we still get asked for new seating for bars and reupholstery for complete three-piece suites, the financial turmoil of the last two years means we now are really busy with lots of smaller jobs. “This can be some new covers for sofa seat-cushions, or recovering outdoor seats in sun-proof fabric. People are realising that it can be a lot cheaper to refurbish the furniture they have, rather than

British Furniture Awards.” It is unusual to find these complete, top-notch skills in Tenerife and, perhaps, it explains that while many companies on the Island are fighting for business, Mike and Phil continue to go from strength to strength.

buy new.” With hundreds of fabrics to choose from, and free home visits, the guys at Style try to make the whole process quick and easy. And, as Mike explained, they have an incredible track record to backup their claim to be “the best upholsterers in Tenerife”. “For many years we had two furniture stores in the UK, selling high-quality, bespoke sofa designs made in our own factory,” he said. “We won many awards, including Best Furniture Designers at the

THE OFFICE of Fair Trading says it’s found ‘unacceptable failings’ in the way some companies offer advice on debt management.
OFT cracks down on dodgy debt advisers
The OFT discovered widespread problems with misleading advertising and the quality of advice given by companies charging for advice on how people can deal with debt. It published new guidance aimed at cracking down on
unfair practices among those providing debt counselling. They include a ban on coldcalling and high-pressure selling techniques. They also require firms to be clear about charges for services, and to inform cus-
tomers about the risks of following their advice. The OFT says it will take action against any businesses failing to adhere to its standards. The Director of the OFT’s Consumer Credit Group, David Fisher, said, “This guid-
ance is designed to leave firms in no doubt about the standards the OFT expects and what they must do to comply with the law.” “The failings identified by our recent review are unacceptable and show that debt management businesses must raise their standards or face enforcement action.” Since September 2010, the OFT has issued warnings to 129 debt management companies, and acted to revoke the licences of 11. It is now seeking feedback from the industry on the revised guidelines.

DAVID HUDGELL Getting to the root of your gardening problems! Email: David.hudgell@canarianweekly.com
AS TENERIFE enters its own hot spell in the UK, Defra and the Environment Agency have announced that parts of the Anglian region are now officially in a state of drought. In addition, areas in the South West, South East, and Midlands are experiencing near-drought conditions following the driest spring on record in South East and Central Southern England, and the driest right across England and Wales since 1990. Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman will hold a second drought summit to review the impacts of the continuing dry weather and consider what more can be done. Mrs Spelman said: “Drought has hit parts of East Anglia, with other areas in England and Wales also giving grounds for concern. “Water companies are confident that supplies are high enough so that widespread restrictions to the public are unlikely. We’re doing all we can to reduce the impact on agriculture and wildlife, but everyone can play their part.
State of drought “Households know how to use less water and everyone can do their bit to use water more wisely, not only through the summer, but throughout the year.” Utility companies, farmers, water companies and environment groups are meeting today to discuss what can be done to share resources, save water and build resilience for future dry conditions. Although some areas across the country have benefited from recent rainfall, this has done little to improve the situation in the driest areas. Agriculture in particular has been affected by the dry weather, with the overall picture mixed for producers and growers. Some horticultural crops have benefited from an earlier season and
high consumer demand, but the lack of rainfall is now causing more general challenges for the sector and some cereal crops are already facing irreversible effects. The Environment Agency is monitoring rivers and will respond quickly to pollution incidents or low oxygen levels and wildlife stranded by rivers drying up. The organisation is working closely with farmers and other water abstractors to find ways to make water resources go further. In parts of the central Fens, some farmers and growers have volunteered to irrigate only at night, to reduce evaporation and some abstractors are forming water co-operatives to share the limited amounts available.
The Environment Agency’s Chief Executive, Dr Paul Leinster said: “The Environment Agency, water companies and other water users have plans in place to cope with drought to ensure there is enough water for people, businesses and the environment. “Many rivers have low flows as result of the dry weather which can harm wildlife and increase the impact of pollution incidents, so we are stepping up our monitoring to be able to respond quickly. “Low river flows also impact on business, as it abstracts millions of gallons from rivers on a daily basis and we need to ensure this is sustainable. It’s important that we all use water wisely at all times of the year, and especially during drought.”
Clash of the gardeners... WE’VE HEARD of Clash of the Titans, now we have clash of the gardeners! Alan Titchmarsh’s new ITV show Love Your Garden which aired last Friday has beaten the ratings of his old programme Gardeners’ World presented by Monty Don in the battle of the TV gardeners. The new magazine style programme made its debut on ITV on Friday 10th June at 8.00pm and attracted 3.6m viewers, 16.4 per cent of the audience share. On BBC2 Gardeners’ World, saw 2.16m viewers (9.6 per cent) turn on at 8.30pm. Entertainment website
Digital Spy said: “Alan Titchmarsh’s Love Your Garden made a decent start, appearing to dent BBC One’s EastEnders.” As reported in Horticulture Weekly - Buckingham Nursery and Garden Centre plant publicity manager and broadcaster Chris Day said: “My conclusion is that over 5.5 million people watched gardening on Friday night, surely a major success. “Not quite the heady days of Ground Force, but hey, its ‘proper gardening’ at a higher bar. I liked the pace and content of Love Your Garden, excellent product exposure and fun with Mr T, those halycon days of gardening are, for the time being, back on the telly.”
Jobs for the week This week we once again experience the longest day of the year, June 21st and your pots and planters should now begin to flourish. The best time to tackle your garden tasks is either early morning or when the sun goes down. - Regularly keep down weeds

Nail Problems This week, I’d like to discuss nail problems: the causes, the ways to avoid them and to cure them. In a previous article, I mentioned the things you should consider when having nail extensions, such as the length and the shape of them (depending on your job, habits, etc.) You would not even think how important these details are, yet a knock to a long, artificial nail (that maybe you can’t even feel), for example, may cause it to lift from the natural nail at the base, leaving an opening for dirt to get in. If the nail is reglued without proper cleaning (with rubbing alcohol, say), bacteria or fungi may grow between the nails and spread into the natural nail. Symptoms of an infection include pain, redness and/or itching. If an infection appears while wearing artificial nails, they should be removed and the area cleaned properly with soap and water, and there are several tea-tree treatments to cure the nails afterwards. The other serious problem concerns skin allergy. It can occur with any type of artificial nail enhancement, but normally, it does not happen the first time. In fact. it can be months, even years, after repeated contact to the natural nails. Once you notice the allergy, it is best to take the nails off immediately. In this case, it is better to stop having nail extensions, and try to replace them with regular manicures to keep your natural nails nice and hydrated all the time. However, there are some companies who have anti-aller-
Page 40
gic products, which contain less or none of those chemicals which can be responsible for an allergic reaction (CND’s Brisa gels, for instance). The allergy often begins as a slight itch or reddish area, or a spot that feels “warm”. If the facial area is touched with these fingers, the skin may become irritated near the chin or around the eyes. On the fingernails, if ignored and over-exposure continues, these symptoms can lead to an annoying itch of the nail beds, or water blisters around the cuticle area, sidewalls or fingertips. If ignored still, the symptoms may spread to hand or wrist. In some cases, it can get worse, meaning all the above mentioned, plus swollen fingers, and even permanent nail loss. According to experts, the chance of this happening is
very small as each person has a different reaction when she comes into contact with these materials. But in case you are one of these sensitive women and had any of these symptoms, you must contact your nail tech or a dermatologist right away. The last thing I would want to do is to turn anyone against having nail extensions, but I would like everyone to know that these things do exist, unfortunately Sadly, it turns out that I am allergic as well, which means I can’t wear extensions any more. Luckily, I found a safe way to be able to continue working with nails. In case you have experienced any of the above-mentioned problems, or have any questions related to them, please do not hesitate to contact or visit me at ROBOT.
Dear Christine My 23-year-old daughter and her baby moved in with me and her dad when she split up with her boyfriend. At first, I enjoyed spending time with my little granddaughter, but six months later I’m feeling incredibly resentful towards them both. There’s so much mess about and my daughter is lazy and arrogant. She still sleeps with her ex at weekends, leaving the baby with me and my husband, and I feel she’s using us. I’ve even become abusive towards her in the hope that it’ll make her move out, but she says she can’t afford to leave. She earns more than I do, and her ex gives her money, so I can’t understand why she doesn’t just go. I’m still only 43 and think I deserve a life of my own. I do all the household cleaning, cooking etc, and she strolls in and out like an overgrown child with a baby and does nothing. My husband says I’m being selfish. I don’t mind doing my bit a few hours a week, but I can’t cope with all this. L
Dear L I acknowledge that you don’t want things to carry on as they are, and that’s fair enough – but what you’ve done so far has isolated you from the people who could help you build a nicer atmosphere at home. Your husband is more likely to see your point of view if you stop being antagonistic, and your daughter is more likely to co-operate if you stop criticising and being unkind. And with the best will in the world, your husband loves his grandchild and your daughter loves her baby. Is it fair on the child, or on any of you, to have all this futile friction? It’s time for adult problemsolving measures instead! When you’re feeling reasonably calm, you could make a list of behaviours you want from your daughter while she’s in the family home. Add to that
the chores you want her to do, and how often. Assuming she can have her room as she wants it, will she agree to keep her and the baby’s things tidy in the common areas, like bathroom, kitchen and living room? If cleaning, ironing etc. are likely to continue to be an issue, don’t forget that with three wages coming in you could afford a cleaner for, say, three hours a week. Are there limits you want to set on child-minding? Perhaps you’d like a certain amount of notice, too? Once you’ve made a realistic list as a basis for discussion, how about you, your daughter and husband go out to a café to agree what you’ll each do? It’ll be easier on neutral territory. And you might open the discussion with an offer to treat them all with more courtesy and respect! Keep your tone light but firm, for it’s in asking politely and assertively that we are more likely to get what we want. If you and your family can’t manage to reach a peaceful, mutuallyrespectful agreement, then how about you investing in a few sessions with a counsellor? Even after home life has improved, however, you may still want your daughter to move out. If so, be firm but never aggressive, and allow her the time to sort herself out. All the very best, Christine Dear Christine I lived with my ex for three years and our relationship was great. We came out to Tenerife and he was very supportive when I found it all a strain. He could never seem to hack my two sons, though, and was always winding them up. One day, when he thought I was out, he got my eldest by the throat against a wall and said threatening things to him, so I demanded that he leave right away. He’s been in touch again recently, though, and all the old feelings are still there.
He’s begged me to give him another try and promises to stay out of my sons’ way. I do still love him, but don’t know whether I can trust him. What do you think? Shannon
Dear Shannon, I wouldn’t trust this man near my hamster, never mind my children. Three years is plenty enough time to know someone properly, and you frequently saw him as the bully he is. He’s promised to stay out of your sons’ way, but would that really be possible, when he’d be living under the same roof as them, sitting down to the same meals, watching the same TV programmes? And how about considering how your sons would feel if you took him back? They saw that in the end you were on their side the protector they should expect you to be - but taking him back would surely be saying they’re really not so important to you as they thought you were. You need to think hard about this, Shannon, and you need to think hard about what’s right for your sons. And anyway, don’t you deserve to be with someone who will give you and your sons the love and respect you all deserve? I think you do. Try to concentrate on your sons, your work and your interests, maybe taking up a new hobby if you can find the time. And in future, take careful note of how a man treats your sons before you move in together. You’ll find someone right for you all in time, I’m sure. Good luck.

The perfect formula to treat stressed skin IN the wide range of treatments on offer in beauty salons, the facial is always the major star. The choices on offer today are immense, and there is always something for everyone that is guaranteed to leave the skin looking and feeling fresh and glowing. Facials should be carried out regularly to continue achieving this result and, obviously, home-care serves to reinforce these treatments. If a touch of guilt, or maybe a spot of first facial nerves, are among the reasons why you haven’t stepped into a beauty salon for a while, or ever, then forget them immediately. Everyone should indulge herself, and what better way to do it than with the perfect pampering? For a while, a good daily skin-care routine is fine and does a lot for you. But a perfectly-performed facial, tailor-made for your skin, can do so much more. Sometimes it can be difficult to find that perfect facial, which will be equally perfect for you and your skin. So here are a few ideas and hints which will, hopefully, make this decision easier for you to take.
What to know before you go If you think you have a close relationship with you hairdresser, prepare for an even more intense one with your facial therapist! She needs to know … *Your medical history: This includes any medication you may be taking, and if you have conditions such as high blood pressure *Your expectations: Do you want to minimise lines? Soothe dryness? Or destress skin? Have a goal and share it with your therapist *Your ground rules: Decide if
17 June 2011 - 23 June 2011
you want your facial therapist to talk to you during the treatment or leave you in peaceful silence. The choice is yours *Your skin care routine: Some home-use products can react with what she’s about to use, so ensure you answer her questions as fully as possible. You need to know … *How the treatment will progress: Do they leave you for 20 minutes in a dimly-lit room, say, while your mask hardens? It’s worth knowing *How much it will cost: Don’t
be pushed to book a whole string of facials. Set your budget and negotiate. They are used to it *How long it will take: Facials can be 30 minutes or two hours, so find out first *How much you’ll reveal: Facials often start with a back or neck massage, so it’s top off but bra on. The therapist will slide straps up and down Find your facial Pinpointing the kind of skin you’d like - smoother, fewer lines, less dryness - gives the therapist all the information she needs. From then on, you’re quite literally in her hands. You shouldn’t go for your appointment loaded with preconceived notions and ideas, and you shouldn’t choose your own facial. A good therapist knows exactly what you need. Your session should start with a consultation after which, techniques and products will be tailored to suit your needs. If you’ve never experienced a facial before, they run pretty consistently to type. A full facial starts with close examination followed by cleansing. Next comes deep-cleansing, usually with exfoliation. And, on occasions, a skinwarming procedure may be carried out to help open the
pores, allowing the oil and stubborn grease to come out. A gentle massage is often slipped into the routine here, followed by a mask matched to your skin type. This could be the cue for the 20minute break, in which you can relax and simply drift off. Usually you will be left alone. When the mask is removed, you will feel thoroughly fresh, clean and hydrated. You should feel wonderfullyrelaxed and look glowy. How often? The regularity depends on the condition of the skin. If a skin problem has been the deciding factor for the visit, you’ll probably need several treatments over a short period to get the skin back on track. Follow up with one every 34 weeks to keep skin looking and feeling good. You can’t prevent the ageing process, but you can slow the process down - with the right facial. If budget is a problem and a once-a-month facial just isn’t possible, have one every other month because that’s better that nothing at all. Switched on? Most salons have shiny, electronic treatments on offer - an electronic massage, in fact. Many people have some reservations
about mechanical facials, but a good one can work deeper and more effectively than hands. It will also use fewer products and is less likely to leave the skin blotchy. Some give you the full, relaxing facial, while others are so specific that you can keep on your eye make-up and lipstick - perfect for a quick lunch-time boost. Products Remember, the products recommended to you by your facial therapist are more often than not those for sale at the salon. These products are usually very specific and have been researched extensively in the companies’ own laboratories. You then have the advantage of using products which are up-to-the minute and have treatment properties. Many of today’s “exclusive” skin-care houses do not necessarily carry out what they claim to do, in some cases. Some may be loaded up with perfumes and ingredients which are really not conducive for skin. So make the most of your time at the salon and take advantage of any testers on offer. And if there is any product you particularly liked during the treatment, ask to try some before you buy.

Mesmerising choice of dishes spells excellence RESTAURANTE Sebastian, in the Sunset Bay complex in the Torviscos Bajo area, hasn’t been in business long. But already, it has secured a sought-after award. That came in the shape of a prestigious “Certificate of Excellence” from the Trip Advisor website - and after visiting and sampling the food and service there, it leaves me in no doubt as to why. The dining area is modern, with a relaxed, friendly feel, and the staff are extremely courteous. Their knowledge of the dishes and sauces is outstanding and, with a menu that incorporates many different styles, that is no mean feat. So, as always, with a glass of full-bodied house red in our hands and warm, rustic, freshly-baked bread and dips to nibble on. we turn to the menu. The choice is mesmerising, from the starters and main
courses, both on the normal menu and the specials’ board, to carefully-chosen tapas dishes and also pizzas and beautiful salads. All the dishes sounded beautiful, and in the end we came to a decision: to start, for my partner, Tuna Carpaccio. This was marinated in a black truffle olive oil and topped with fresh rocket and parmesan
17 June 2011 - 23 June 2011
and yes, the non-fish eater (moi) tried it and loved it. You could clearly taste every ingredient, and each one complemented the other. For me, BBQ spare ribs, dripping in their own home-made sauce with the zing of spring onions and peppers. I could easily have eaten these again and again because they were so tasty.
The main courses didn’t disappoint, either, and, ladies first, as an exquisitely-presented Fillet of Sea Bass with King Prawns and fresh tomato, smothered in a lemonand-butter sauce arrived at the table. This just fell apart on contact with the cutlery and, according to my partner, tasted “to die for”. My choice of Rib Eye steak appeared just two seconds later, and was cooked perfectly in rosemary, chorizo, jalapenos and Rioja - and just worked, every mouthful again fusing all the different
flavours. And with both dishes accompanied by potatoes, mashed and bravas (covered in a spicy sauce) and mixed roast vegetables in oil, we really couldn’t have asked for more. The care taken in the presentation of all the dishes (I was having a nosy as other people’s food came out of the kitchen) was outstanding, and I did feel a slight sadness as I tore through my steak. New York chunky (no, I am not trying to describe a native of the city they
named twice) is a mountain of a dessert. You may have guessed from past reviews that I do have a rather sweet tooth, and with this dessert board the choice was difficult. But this was my ultimate: a cheesecake topped with chocolate and walnuts, all covered in a fudge sauce served with cream and icecream and, I don’t know if I was being wound up, but it was also sprinkled with hundreds and thousands and, as always, two spoons. Anyway I was happy. To finish of this superb meal, I ordered just a white coffee, but my partner spotted the liqueur hot chocolates (a great idea as a lot of people, my partner included, are not fans of coffee). And with her choice of dark rum and cream it really was a perfect finale. So to Robi, Niki, Vanessa, Oscar, Kevin and owners Alan and Raul, thank-you guys so much for a beautiful, relaxing experience. We will be back very soon. Cheers!

Lanzarote delivers that ‘over-the-moon’ feeling LANZAROTE, just 79 miles off the coast of Africa, is the most easterly of the Canary Islands. It is also the fourth largest and boasts several beautiful white beaches. With a mild, dry climate and average daytime temperatures ranging from about 21°C in January to 29°C in August, it makes Lanzarote the perfect year-round destination for tourists. As with the other Canary Islands, Lanzarote is volcanic in origin, and, because of the recent eruptions during the 18th and 19th Centuries, the climate and lack of erosion makes for incredible sightseeing. The volcanic landscape appears much as it did just after the eruptions, so many parts of the island appear to be from another world and are often described as “lunar” or “Martian”. Among the many stunning features is the longest volcanic tunnel in the world, the Tunnel of Atlantis, which is over 7km long and includes the La Cueva de los Verdes and Jameos del Agua. A lot of the main beaches will be found within tourist resorts but, if you are interested in exploring, you will find some of the best beaches hidden all over the island, some accessible by dirt
Page 44
roads only. Despite the proliferation of beaches, however, most of the coastline is rocky, which makes the sandy stretches stand out even more. The capital city, which features a port and is the seat of power, is Arrecife, taking its name from the rock reef - Arrecife being Spanish for reef - which covers the city’s beach. The island’s only airport, nearby, also bears the
same name. The city also features the tallest building in the entire Canary Islands in the shape of the Gran Hotel Arrecife, to be found on the front alongside the harbour. The villages on Lanzarote are characterised by the respect and care for the surrounds, and by the brightness of their architecture. Their white houses contrast with the black of the
lava, offering a characteristic landscape, while the windmills and typical Arabic chimneys make up beautiful views from any point on the island. Lanzarote is home to the dramatic Timanfaya National Park, where Montaña del Fuego (‘Fire Mountain’) still steams and hisses beneath the surface. Visitors can also enjoy magnificent views from the
elevated Mirador del Rio, towards Graciosa Island, as well as the underground caves of Jameos del Agua, home to tiny, blind, white crabs. Just like the other Canarian islands, there are hundreds of plant species and lichen (a primitive plant species comprising intertwined alga and fungus). Lichen are rather like succulents in that they have survived and flourished, despite the scarcity of water on an island which bursts into life with colour in the early part of the year after the rare but welcome winter downpours. Another fascinating aspect of Lanzarote are the Camel Safaris, although what you sit astride of is a dromedary –an Arabian, one-humped camel! Coming from Yaiza, you can find them shortly after the “fire-devil” sign that marks the boundaries of the National Park. Once there, you’ll be invited to sit on one of the wooden seats placed on top of the single hump, either side, and set off for a 20minute ride across the volcanic terrain on the outskirts of the Park. The handlers make sure all passengers are equally balanced by using small sandbags to weight down chil-
dren or slimline adults, but a word of warning: watch out when the dromedary rises to its feet because the seat tends to lurch forward. The camel station includes a café, toilets and a small museum (Museo de Rocas) displaying geological specimens collected in the park and some information about the dromedaries. As for the holiday resorts, Costa Teguise is quiet, relaxing and ideal for families. As well as the main sandy beach, it also has three smaller coves. Nightlife is fairly quiet with a selection of bars and restaurants. The more active tourists will find the championship golf course on the outskirts of the town, while watersport enthusiasts will enjoy Las Cucharas beach. But if you are simply looking to chill out, which is why a lot of people are attracted to all the islands in the Canaries, Playa Blanca is the place to be. It is on the south-west coast and this former undeveloped fishing village now offers sandy beaches and a selection of traditional seafood restaurants and pavement cafes. This small resort has a smattering of shops, while a few bars provide entertainment in the evening. But don’t expect to let your hair down there. Playa de los Pocillos, situated within walking distance of the larger, livelier resort of Puerto del Carmen, curls around a large and inviting sandy beach, with views of the spectacular volcanic mountains further to the west. It is in a central position on the island, making it an ideal base for any sightseers. The resort’s fascinating old-town complex shows there was life here before the tourists descended on Lanzarote and transformed it into a mecca for holiday-makers. Holidays to Lanzarote offer an colourful combination of attractions, teamed with excellent accommodation. Tourism has been the mainstay of the island’s economy for the past 40 years, and, despite the hardship of the recent recession, it is has the capacity to attract and embrace its visitors wholeheartedly.

Steering committee with a wheel purpose in mind A home-made Lamborghini… for just eight quid!
A CHINESE hairdresser is converting his Nissan Cefiro into a replica of the new Lamborghini Aventador. Ha San, who owns a hair salon in China, worked relentlessly for 12 days to convert the body of his 1995 budget Nissan to a reasonably-accurate replica of Lamborghini’s latest supercar. He spent most of his time panel-beating to get the Aventador’s sharp-edged lines just right. So far, the project has cost Ha San a total of 90 yuan, which is about eight quid. It certainly works out a bit cheaper than a conventional Lamborghini Aventador, which costs £220,000
before tax. But this humble, ex-Nissan Cefiro is no slouch. The model was never sold in the UK, but in overseas markets, the original A31 model was available with a 2.5-litre turbocharged engine, also found in the Nissan Skyline of the time. It pales into significance next to the Aventador, though. Powered by a 690bhp V12 engine, the Lamborghini is capable of 062mph in 2.9secs, with a top speed of 217mph. Even if you can afford one, Ha San’s method is the only way to go about owning an Aventador (of sorts). That’s because Lamborghini have already sold the first few years of production - before the first car has even been built!

MOST of us drivers are up to speed with touch-screen operations these days, but a team of scientists in Germany have now gone a big step further. They are experimenting with the technology on a car’s steering wheel, and though the vehicle itself would still be manoeuvred conventionally, the centre of the wheel would feature a touch-and-gesture sensitive area. It would control the numerous entertainment, information and driverassistance controls fitted to modern cars. The touch-sensitive wheel could reduce the workload for the driver, easing operations of the numerous systems. At the moment, car manufacturers offer different solutions to enable drivers to operate communications, entertainment, navigation and control devices within the car’s interior. But the touch-screen steering wheel could reduce the complication and also reduce the need for the driver’s hands to be removed from the wheel, enhancing safety in the process. A study, involving 12 participants, has found that
using the touch-screen wheel reduces dramatically the amount of time a driver’s eyes are distracted from the road. Numerous means by which the driver can operate the system are being investigated, with a thumbwheel or handwritten text input being studied. Audi currently offer a text-recognition pad in their cars for inputting satnav destinations. Difficulties the team face include whether to have the
controls rotate with the wheel or remain stationary. The screen offers scope to control all the car’s functions, while graphical instructions like navigation routes could also be displayed. Further possibilities exist with the incorporation of a head-up display, projecting information on to the screen in front of the driver. Like iPads and other touch-screen devices, the steering wheel could be per-
sonalised to suit each individual user. The German team, still at a relatively early stage of development, hope to show their prototype to car manufacturers with the intention of getting a system into a production car. It sounds like a good idea, but it seems to me as though it would give the driver even more to concentrate on and thus, reduce his concentration on the road.

Becky beats the cream of Europe’s star golfers BECKY BREWERTON’S four-under-par 68 in the final round of the Tenerife Ladies Match Play golf event on Sunday gave her a thrilling one-shot victory. The 28-year-old, from Abergele, North Wales, played superb golf in the strokeplay format at Golf Las Américas to hold off Australian Nikki Garrett and Spain’s Carlota Ciganda, who shared second place. England’s Rebecca Hudson was fourth. It was Brewerton’s third victory as a professional, after winning the 2007 English Open and the 2009 Spanish Open. She had previously finished second three times in Tenerife, including once on the same golf course as an amateur in 2003. “It’s nice to finally get a win in Tenerife, and it has been a while since I’ve won, so it’s a brilliant feeling,” said Becky, after the successful Ladies European Tour venture, sponsored jointly by Tenerife Tourism and the Canary Islands Government, with back-up from various other sponsors “Tenerife is a place where I always get a little bit of luck
Page 46
as well. I holed a chip shot, holed a bunker shot, and I had a couple of nice bounces. “I made lots of birdies and threw in a couple of hairy moments as well, but I just about managed to get it done after playing well all week.” Brewerton had secured the most comprehensive victory of the opening day on Friday, when she defeated Australian Kristie Smith 8&6 in the matchplay format. She then ousted England’s
multi-titled champion Laura Davies in the second round of match play the following day with a birdie on the 19th hole. And veteran Laura told Brewerton on Twitter: “Keep swinging like that and you’ve got a big summer ahead.” Brewerton went into the final, eight-woman round full of confidence and earned the early advantage with birdies on the second, fifth and seventh holes. She dropped a shot after
missing the green at the parfive ninth, but hit the turn one ahead at two-under. The Welsh player holed a bunker shot for birdie at the 10th and then, after finding sand again at the 11th, she dropped a shot but quickly recovered by sinking a sevenfooter on the par-three 13th. Her “hairy moment” arrived at the 14th when her tee shot came to rest behind some palm trees. But she managed to hole the putt for par.
Becky dropped a shot at the 15th, but two-putted for birdie from 35 feet at the next. And after signing off with a birdie, she had a tense wait by the clubhouse with both Ciganda and Garrett able to tie with a birdie. However, up-and-coming Ciganda’s second shot found water and Garrett missed a 15-foot birdie putt, enabling Brewerton to claim the 40,000-euro first prize. Becky said: “I had great memories when I got back to the course. I remembered all the holes straight away. I was pretty sure this was where I’d finished second as an amateur in
the Tenerife Ladies Open. “And I’ve actually got a picture up on my wall, from the course here, from under one of the palm trees, taken by my dad when he was caddying for me.” Having recovered recently from a foot injury sustained in Portugal, she added: “This is the main start of the season, with some massive tournaments coming up. I’m absolutely desperate to make the Solheim team, so I’ve just got to try to make as many points as possible.” Although Solheim Cup points towards September’s Europe v US clash at Killeen Castle, Co Meath, Ireland, were not awarded, Becky’s performance will have been noted by European captain Alison ahead of the big matchplay event. RESULTS Final round (stroke play, par 72): 68 - Becky Brewerton (Wal); 69 - Carlota Ciganda (Esp)), Nikki Garrett (Aus); 70 Rebecca Hudson (Eng); 71 Lydia Hall (Wal); 72 - Frances Bondad (Aus), Lee-Anne Pace (SA); 75 Danielle Montgomery (Eng). Second round (Match play): Bondad bt Karen Lunn 3&2, Brewerton beat Laura Davies at 19th, Montgomery bt Tania Elosegui 3&2, Hudson bt Morgana Robbertze 3&2, Ciganda bt Beth Allen, 1-up, Hall bt Felicity Johnson 4&3, Garrett bt Stacey Keating 5&4, Pace bt Stacy Lee Bregman 1-up.

Horoscopes of the week Gemini
(May 22nd-June 21st) The full moon earlier this week served to give you a wake-up call over key relationships in your life. You are now aware that you need to take stock of your selfish behaviour, and then work at making necessary adjustments to bring them back on an even keel. You’ll need to make compromises, and so you should! CANCER (June 22ndJuly 23rd) Awkward struggles in relationships at home cause an impasse, and you’ll swing between feeling love and hate for someone. Don’t be tempted to over-analyse a situation. Take it as it is, then work with the person involved to find a compromise. You’ll never move forward if you don’t. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) It won’t be easy dealing with people in authority, or bosses, parents and even partners. Stick to what you have to do and don’t expect any praise, so that any criticism made won’t get you down. Do your best to separate work and home issues, and make sure you don’t return from the supermarket with only half the weekly shopping. Yes, remember to take your list with you this time. VIRGO (August 24thSeptember 23rd) Career matters reach boiling point when stubborn, aggressive attitudes wash over the proceedings. Are they coming from someone else or from you? The full moon in midweek reminded you to take a closer look at neglected home and family issues. They really can be salvaged if you work at it. LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) Delays and interruptions over work and money matters try

your patience, and you’ll be snappy with anyone who gets in your line of fire. The best thing for you to do would be to get away and chill out, if you can take the time out. You really do need time to weigh up your life and determine where you are heading for. SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) The moon in your sign has made you moody and hypersensitive, and you’ve tended to be nitpicky over money matters. The full moon highlighted your unstable financial status even more, but don’t be tempted to take foolish risks. Focus on the future, even though you just know that progress will be slow. SAGITTARIUS (November 23rdDecember 21st) You know what you want and you know where you want to go, but actually getting there seems out of reach right now. A cautious approach may seem slow, but at least you’ll avoid making mistakes. It won’t be long before someone notices your worth, your creativity and your talent. C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) Frustrations over relationships, friendships and money matters never seem to disappear, so take a deep breath, count to 10 and tackle problems one at a time. The moon has now entered

your sign and has rekindled your inspiration for getting things sorted out. So just get on with it, and don’t hang about. AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) If you stay out of the line of fire and keep a low profile at work, you should get through the week relatively unscathed. Take time to attend to home and family matters, your social life and friendships because they all need to be brought back up to speed. Make more of an effort in the love stakes as well. PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) You just know that tough decisions over money matters have to be made and that you can no longer bury your head in the sand. There’s no shame in asking someone for help or advice, even if it’s just to point you in the right direction. You’ll be back on track soon as long as you remain optimistic. ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) Friction in partnerships or friendships seems to be the running theme as the week goes on, so try to remember that not everyone is as open and upfront as you are. Gauge the mood when thinking about making comments or giving opinions, and you could sidestep any drama. TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) Push comes to shove when discussing joint finances with emotional partners or business partners. You feel isolated, ignored and frustrated. You know you’ve given them what they want, yet they don’t seem to be reciprocating. No wonder you’re angry. It’s not fair, but chin up! You will get through in the end.
