Weekly paper folds ON SUNDAY, the printing presses of the world’s mightiest newspaper will roll for the News of the World for last time at Wapping. The demise of the Sunday paper heralds one of the biggest stories of all time, overtaking any revelation they could have possibly have matched, for all their world exclusives down the years. Faced with a host of new claims over alleged phonehacking scandals, owner Rupert Murdoch had no option but to close the 168-year-old newspaper. One of the primary reasons for the closure will surely have been the mass boycott of leading advertisers, including Asda, Boots, Co-op, Dixons, Ford, Halifax, Npower, Sainsbury's and Specsavers. It is understood that News International were left with just BSkyB, British Gas, Mars and Tesco. The NOW is thought to have averaged about £660,000 in advertising income each weekend, according to industry estimates. The decision to close the paper, announced by Murdoch’s son, James, is understood to have followed a meeting yesterday (Thursday) between Murdoch Snr and his leading executives. James Murdoch, News International Chairman, said: “Having consulted senior colleagues, I have decided that we
must take further decisive action with respect to the paper. This Sunday will be the last issue of the News of the World. “Colin Myler will edit the final edition of the paper. In addition, I have decided that all of the News of the World's revenue this weekend will go to good causes.” He added that the final edition would not run any commercial adverts - with the advertising space to be donat-
ed to causes and charities. "The good things the News Of The World do, however, have been sullied by behaviour that was wrong," said Murdoch Jnr. "Indeed, if recent allegations are true, it was inhuman and has no place in our company. "The News Of The World is in the business of holding others to account. But it failed when it came to itself." It is understood that Rebekah Brooks, the NOW's former editor and current News
International chief executive, was in tears when she told staff about the decision. The paper's current editor, 59-year-old Liverpudlian Colin Myler, was said to be absolutely furious, and journalists were devastated. The News of the World will be the first national newspaper to close since Rupert Murdoch shut News International midmarket tabloid Today in 1995. The NOW has been News International's most profitable title for many years. A spokesperson for the company would not comment on whether the company would continue to publish any Sunday tabloid. There are already rumours that daily tabloid The Sun could be turned into a seven-day publication. Interestingly, the internet domain name thesunonsunday.co.uk was registered two days ago, although the owner's identity is unclear.
How the mighty have fallen THE weekly broadsheet News of the World, founded in 1843 and aimed at the working classes, gained an instant reputation for titillation, shock and criminal news. That was to be its banner forever, and it earned the nicknames Screws of the World or News of the Screws because of its never-ending diet of salacious gossip and sex scandals. It was the biggest-selling,
most widely-read paper in the world, with a Sunday circulation of over eight million in the Fifties. The NOW, which was transformed into a tabloid, gained a reputation for exposing celebrities as drug-users or criminals, wife-beaters or cheaters, and specialised in setting up insiders and journalists in disguise to expose their “victims”. But sales slumped in the
past 20 years and the paper was averaging just under three million recently. It was dogged by its own phone-tapping scandals as long ago as January 2007 and that distasteful practice, which never went away despite all the denials, was to lead to its downfall. Its closure will be a blow to thousands of its readers all over Tenerife, who made it the Island’s best-selling paper by far.

Fotonoviembre 2011, will be held on the island from November 8th until early 2012; it has become one of the key promoters of photographic images in its broadest sense and convenes every two years for exhibitions across the island. In this
new edition and to mark the refurbishment and modernization of the Hotel Mencey it aims to bring together an outstanding collection of photographs of Tenerife so that the hotel itself would become the exhibition space. This award will be presented in a series of five sections, with a maximum of two series for each participant. The images must be free from further manipulation and must have been taken by the authors and not
copied. One of the requirements of this contest is that the images presented, whether analog or digital, are free from digital retouching except for the adjustment of contrast levels or to transform an image into an output format negative analog. The results will be announced on the 15th September. Participation is regardless of nationality and residence, and selected works will become part of the collection of the Center for Photography Tenerife, for exhibition under its artistic programming. The works presented, which must be original and have not been displayed or submitted to other contests or been previously released, must be delivered by the author or a person representing him or her before 14:00 pm on September 5th at the Tenerife Photo Center (Tenerife TEA Art Space, Avda San Sebastian, 8 CP. 38003 Santa Cruz de Tenerife).

The judging panel will award a maximum of 25 points for creativity, 20 points for originality, 20 points for conceptual consistency, with 20 for technical quality and 15 for relevance to the brief.
IKEA shelves new stores for Spain
Iceland‘s ‘gateway to hell’ ready to erupt As we go to print one of Iceland’s most feared volcanoes looks ready to erupt, raising fears of a new ash cloud over Europe. The Hekla volcano is close to the ash-spewing Eyjafjoell, which last year caused the world’s biggest airspace shut down since World War II, affecting more than 100,000 flights and eight million passengers. Experts have said measurements of Hekla - dubbed “Gateway to Hell” by locals indicate magma movement. “The movements around Hekla have been unusual in the last two to three days,”
University of Iceland geophysicist Pall Einarsson said. While this might not necessarily mean an immediate blast, “the volcano is ready to erupt”, he stressed. “The mountain has been slowly expanding in the last few years because of magma build up,” he explained. Another geophysicist, Ari Trausit Gudmundsson, said measurements around Hekla were very “unusual” and the volcano looked ready to blow. “Something is going on,” he said, stressing though that “if or when the volcano erupts is unclear”. The volcano, one of Iceland’s most active, has erupted some 20 times over
08 July 2011 - 14 July 2011
the past millennium, most recently on February 26, 2000. It is so active that scientists estimate about 10% of the tephra - the solid matter ejected when a volcano erupts - produced in Iceland over the past millennium, about five cubic kilometres, comes from this one volcano. News of a possible imminent eruption comes just over a month after the violent eruption at the Grimsvoetn volcano, in the southeast of the country. That episode subsided after less than a week, but due to more favourable winds for Europe, it caused much less air traffic disruption. Asked about what kind of
disruptions could be expected if Hekla erupts, Mr Gudmundsson said the volcano tends to “produce both ash and lava within the first seconds of an eruption”. Lava eruptions are far less disruptive to air travel, and “if the next eruption is of the same character (as the previous ones) it is unlikely that it will have any effects on flights in Europe”, he said. “But of course this depends on the size of the eruption, which is something that is impossible to predict,” he added. Rongvaldur Olafsson, from the Icelandic Civil Protection Authority, said no immediate safety precautions were being taken but that the mountain was being watched very closely.
GIANT home-furnishing outlet IKEA, with 11 stores in Spain already, plans to delay the opening of 10 more for five years because of the country’s “excessive regulations”. The stores would have created 20,000 jobs for Spanish workers, but a clearly disgruntled Mikael Ohisson, Chairman of the Swedish company, said: ‘It will have to
wait five years. “We can start tomorrow, and thus we could contribute to improving the Spanish economy by creating jobs and contracts for construction. The country needs it and we are prepared to do it.” But although the company’s sales in Spain and Portugal are low, IKEA is looking ahead and still plans to expand in Spain. Two-thirds of IKEA’s production and sales are in Europe, and last year its market share broke through the 5% barrier.
Shopping info, at your fingertips THE MERIDIANO shopping mall in Santa Cruz has installed a touchscreen, digital-display unit, co-developed by a Tenerife company. It will enable visitors learn all about the mall and its stores by using their fingertips directly on the
screen. The is the first machine of its kind here, courtesy of DS Digital Screens and MDI Totem, of Tenerife. The interactive display works in eight languages and offers downloadable mobile discount coupons. In its first 13 days at the mall, the kiosk registered 6,000 fingertip users.

A WORD FROM OUR EDITOR
Crest of a wave!
End of an era
THE world’s greatest international windsurfers will be staging a spectacular show at El Medano over the next week or so.
Email: editor@canarianweekly.com
By the time you read this the last ever shuttle will have launched from the Kennedy Space centre in Florida. Ironic really as within the past weeks we have been celebrating astro physics with the Starmus Festival here in Tenerife. Liftoff was scheduled for 11.26am local time (USA) on Friday and one million spectators are expected to line beaches and roads to get a view of the start of the historic mission. “It’s such a pleasure to come down here when you have a rocket on the pad and it’s got your stuff loaded on it,” astronaut Rex Walheim told reporters shortly after arriving at the Florida spaceport. Walheim and his crew mates, commander Chris Ferguson, pilot Doug Hurley and astronaut Sandy Magnus, say they have been so busy concentrating on the mission ahead, they have had little time to think about the significance of their trip. Many in America though, have been reflecting on the last three decades of the space shuttle. The shuttle was the world’s first reusable space craft. It played a major role in building the International Space Station, its crew launched satellites, went on space walks, fixed the Hubble Telescope and carried out experiments to help us understand the effect of
Page 04
gravity - and lack of gravity on living things. It made space travel almost routine and furthered cooperation in orbit with international partners. However it came at a cost. Initially it was expected the Shuttle would launch almost weekly. In the end only 135 launches were made over three decades, costing about 900 million pounds per flight. There was the human cost too. The Challenger disaster in 1986 and Columbia explosion in 2003 killed 14 crew and set back NASA’s space programme. In all, five Shuttles were built. They have flown 540 million miles, at a total cost of £122 billion. Story Musgrave is the only astronaut to fly on each of the Shuttles that were manufactured. “That vehicle has matured us as a space-faring nation. It’s been an immensely difficult vehicle to operate, exceedingly complex, you can’t make it safe. The other side though is that I consider it a huge triumph.” The future of manned space flight for NASA is not totally clear. For now NASA astronauts will have to hitch lifts to the Space Station with the Russians, at huge expense. Other rockets and vehicles are in development but money, and possibly the public’s appetite, is limited. As the world watches the launch, and millions of pairs of eyes look skyward there will be celebration at the Shuttle’s achievements, but also sadness that this era of space travel has no immediate successor.
World windsurfing stars promise a feast of action at El Medano
They will be competing in the second scoring round of the World Cup series, which began on Gran Canaria on Tuesday and concludes on Sunday - and then it’s on to El Medano. There’s an individual championship for men, involving 48 challengers and another event for 16 women. It starts on Thursday (14th July) and finishes the following Wednesday. This huge sporting event will attract worldwide attention from the media and TV, as well as an anticipated live audience of around 1,000 daily. Despite the perfect conditions prevailing at the seaside resort for windsurfing, the event has not been staged there for 15 years. But with prize money of 45,000 euros on offer, the competition is bound to be fierce. And the only prayer offered by the Professsional World Association (PWA) is that the wind continues to blow hard. In addition to those who have qualified, there are three places reserved for local windsurfers, who will be chosen during preliminary competitions on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. In the men’s championship, Spain’s world champion Victor Fernandez will be defending his title, along with Venezuela’s world No2 Ricardo Campello. Two beauties to watch out for in the women’s event are Gran Canaria’s amazing Ruano twins, world champion Daida and Iballa, who is ranked No2. There is great rivalry between the sisters, which should give their championship added fizz. Organiser José Manuel Morales, launching the event officially last Friday, paid tribute to the sponsorship from a host of private and public bodies, who have helped to bring the event to Tenerife again. They include Tenerife Tourism, the Canary Islands Government, Granadilla’s Department of Tourism, PlanetWin365 Head Surf Shop, Arenas del Mar, Sheraton La Caleta and Renault. Also involved are Ashotel, Travel Zipangu, Fuente Alta, CocaCola,
Multieducacional and Amarilla Golf. Local surfers Daniel Bruch and Álex Mussolini, ranked No5 and No7 in the world respectively, attended the ceremony,
as did Granadilla Deputy Mayor Esteban Gonzalez, plus Tourism Councillor Nuria Delgado and Mark Gonzalez, the Sports Councillor. Regular tourists and resi-
dents will be used to seeing windsurfers and kitesurfers performing nearly every day at El Medano. Now they are in for a sizzling treat from the finest exponents of all.

Man held in plot to kill King Juan Carlos A MAN wanted in connection with the attempted assassination of the King of Spain in 1997 has been arrested in Cambridgeshire. The man, Spanish national Eneko Gogeaskoetxea
Arronategui, was arrested by armed police early this morning. He is believed to be a member of the Basque separatist group ETA. As well as the alleged connection with the assassination attempt on King Juan Carlos, the arrest warrant says the suspect is wanted for a string
of other offences, including participation in an armed gang, terrorism, arms possession, theft and forgery. Spanish authorities believe the man - aged 44 - fled the country in October 1997, after the attempted assassination. ETA, a militant group fighting for an independent
Basque homeland, has been blamed for more than 800 deaths during its 42-year campaign in Spain. The group has been linked with a string of assassination plots on Juan Carlos, who became king in 1975. Arronategui is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court later.

Bull-Run fever hits Pamplona again THOUSANDS of people jammed the streets of Pamplona on Wednesday for the opening ceremony of the annual Bull-Run. More than one million tourists from all parts of the globe are expected to attend the nine-day San Fermin fiesta in the capital city of Navarra, the Basque region in northern Spain. As usual, huge quantities of beer and sangria were consumed by Spaniards and visitors alike as they packed the main Plaza del Ayuntamiento for the tra-
ditional “Viva San Fermin” shout from a City Hall balcony. That is always the forerunner to the bulls’ opening charge early yesterday (Thursday) morning, when thousands of people followed the usual tradition of racing ahead of six fighting bulls and six steers, stampeding along an 848-metre course. The bull run takes just under four minutes, with 2,000-3,500 runners daring to get as close as possible without endangering them-
selves. But there are always 200-300 casualties each year. Most are hurt after falling, but some are trampled or gored by the bulls, despite increased safety measures. The most recent fatality occurred two years ago when a 27-year-old Spaniard was gored to death in front of a huge crowd.. These daily bull-runs highlight the festival, which ends on Thursday (14th July) but the crowds can also enjoy dancing and drinking.

Golf and film tourism FILM AND golf don’t really go together, but Tenerife Tourism Corporation has organised a conference on Monday entitled “Golf and Tourism: Challenges and Opportunities” and “Cinema and Tourism: how film industries and tourism can work together to boost tourism.” The conference will start from 10:00 hours in the hall of Tenerife TEA Arts space and will be delivered by Simon Hudson, a professor at the University of South Carolina. In the first of the lectures, Professor Hudson will review
some of the challenges and opportunities in the golf industry, a business that moves around the world more than 50 million tourists. In the case of Tenerife, last year courses sold a total of 257,225 green fees, 4.1 percent more than last year. Visitors to the courses are mostly Germans, followed by British and Spanish. At the conference on “Tourism and Cinema”, which will begin at 11:30 am, Simon Hudson, will illustrate with examples from around the world how the film industry and tourism can work together to attract film productions and generate benefits for the destination.

No wonder this lot think they are on Cloud Nine! A BIRD breeder who had a young cockatiel with a crippled foot didn’t have the heart to put the bird down, so he asked Sara Ford if she’d take him in. The cockatiel is now in his third year with Sara and even has his own little ladder in the house to get up the step. On another occasion, a lady found a cat after a car accident and took him to the vet with severe internal problems and eye problems. Sara and her partner adopted him because they believed he wouldn’t cause any problem with the birds. Now, she says: “Although he is blind, he’s in charge of every one, and he wanders around the whole neighbourhood, stopping to eat from as many people as he can.” These are just a couple of the cute tales Sara tells about her Cloud 9 Animal Rescue centre - an alternative sanctuary for injured or stray animals and birds, based in El Roque, San Miguel. She’d always had a “passion” for animals and began with a few chickens and tortoise for her own pleasure some years ago. After a few months, their collection grew as the tortoise began breeding. “Through word of mouth, we sold a few of the babies and from that, we started to receive phone calls asking us to take in unwanted tortoise,” recalls Sara. As the requests came in for her to look after more and more animals, it became obvious to the 43year-old Nottingham woman, who moved to Tenerife eight years ago with her partner, that there was a need for a sanctuary with a difference. Thus, just over a year ago, Cloud 9 Animal Rescue was born, and it has since developed to embrace love-birds, guinea-pigs, rabbits, ducks, hedgehogs and quite a few wild birds. “We pride ourselves in the work we have achieved in the short time we have been operating, and we get the satisfaction of seeing our animals return to their natural habitat, fully recovered from the ordeals they have endured,” she says. “We believe we are unique in taking in wild animals which have been injured, or have lost their way, and we concentrate more on these
and on the other variety of animals. “There seems to be adequate support for cats and dogs, but there’s none, as far as we know, for the wild species, or the unusual pets left abandoned, such as rabbits, tortoise exotic birds, ducks and iguanas.” The most unusual animal they have entertained is a pot

Sara adds: “When we first took on this role, we were worried about how it would affect our own animals, and how they would react to ‘strangers’ in their territory like, would the cats chase the birds, etc. “Well, we were quite surprised at how well they inte-
grated, and how they actually settle in is amazing.” For all her good deeds, however, Sara receives no funding, and Cloud 9 is not a registered charity, even though they have rescued over 75 animals, residing in cages and runs they have built on their land at home. “We get a lot of support from friends and neighbours, with fruit and vegetables from their gardens.” she says. “We are committed to what we do, and we will carry on as long as these animals need our help and support.” So conscientious are the couple that they tend to collect the animals from the owners as their home is not that easy to find. And the rabbits, ducks and exotic birds, etc, don’t seem to mind at all. “We have around 100 animals at the moment, and we think some of them really believe they are on Cloud Nine,” says Sara with a grin.

Wine tasting Pet travel will be cheaper and easier from next year THE British Embassy in Madrid has issued new guidelines for Brits travelling to the UK with their pets from 2012. LA CASA del Vino will host an introductory course to wine tasting from Tuesday to Thursday (12th-14th July), which seeks to highlight the characteristics of different wines from the islands, and study the aspects that influence the quality of them, as well as their commercial classification. The course will conclude with a visit to a winery on Friday 15th July. The courses are divided into three phases. A first level of introduction to wine tasting, a second level where students can delve into the art
of tasting and expand their knowledge about other types of wines and, finally, a refresher course. The first level examines the manipulation, essential for the tasting, conditions, environment, etc. The second level focuses on the different phases of tasting, decanting systems, analysis of the factors that influence the aging process of wine or wood used. In addition, it will present the conditions that influence the upbringing of a wine, taste and smell defects and study the definitions of vintage, crianza, reserva and gran reserva. People who are interested in more information or registration or reservation for this course can call 922 572 535 or 922 572 542 or send an email to casavino@tenerife.es.
Project Empléate 2011 THE TENERIFE Cabildo have started a project called ‘Empléate 2011’ to get the unemployed back into the labour market. The Minister of Economic Development insular and Employment, Efraín Medina said that “this action is part of the employment promo-
tion policies being developed by the Corporation Insular and will allow the hiring of thirty people. The objectives of this project also emphasise on the promotion of entrepreneurship and the active job searching amongst the young and those seeking work for the first time.
It reads: Dog and cat owners will find it cheaper and easier to travel to the UK with their pets when new rules are introduced at the start of next year. The UK will harmonise its pet-movement rules with the rest of the European Union from 1st January 2012, bringing the UK’s Pet Travel Scheme into line with the most recent science. The UK will maintain its high level of protection against animal diseases after the changes, which have the potential to save pet owners around £7 million in fees. Forcing pets to spend six months in quarantine, a practice dating from the 1800s, is no longer necessary because of vastlyimproved rabies vaccines and treatments. All pets will still need to be vaccinated against rabies. Pets from the EU will no longer need a blood test and will only have to wait 21 days before they travel. The changes will ensure the risk of rabies coming to the UK remains extremely low. It’s estimated that the new rules mean there would be one case of rabies in a pet in the UK once every 211 years, with the possibility of a person dying from rabies obtained from a pet once in every 21,000 years. The Health Protection Agency considers Spain a ‘no risk’ country for rabies. Environment Secretary, Caroline Spelman, said: “The UK’s quarantine system was designed to combat the threat of rabies in the 19th century and has now been left far behind by scientific advances. “What is needed is a simpler, evidence-based system for protecting the UK from rabies which recognises the actual risk to pets and pet owners. The EU’s pet movement scheme has been working very well for nearly a decade, and it makes sense for us to have similar rules.” Chief Medical Officer AFTER a successful event last year with 79 participants the youth department of Adeje Town Hall have once again organised a great event taking place tomorrow (Saturday) – a

Professor Dame Sally Davies said: “Rabies is a very serious human disease, and the rabies-free status of the UK must be protected. “The EU pet-travel rules have been successful in preventing any cases of rabies occurring in legally-moved pets since the scheme started, so harmonising the UK’s rules with those of the EU will make it easier for those who wish to travel with their pets.” The UK will continue to protect the public against the risk of serious, exotic, tapeworm infections and is pressing to retain tapeworm controls for pets entering the UK.

most appropriate form of tapeworm controls for dogs, to ensure the UK continues to be protected from Echinococcus multilocularis. The Commission has recently indicated that its proposals, expected shortly, would enable the UK and other tapeworm-free countries to retain tapeworm controls, with a requirement that animals be treated between one and five days before returning to the UK. Dog tapeworm is common in southern Spain. Tick treatment for pet animals returning to the UK will no longer be required. All pet owners travelling abroad with their animals should discuss with their vets the use of treatments, including those
designed to control ticks as part of good, animal-health practice. Detailed information on what pet owners and vets need to do before bringing a pet to the UK can be found at http://www.defra.gov.uk/wi ldlife-pets/pets/travel or obtained from the UK helpline +44 (0)870 241 1710. Marion Gonzales, who runs the Accion del Sol dog refuge in Granadilla, said: “This is really good news for UK pet owners. “It will cut out a lot of hassle, and the shortened quarantine period will almost certainly encourage more owners not to abandon their pets over here when they return to the UK.”

Campaign launched to help tackle the international parental child abduction EVERY OTHER day a British child is abducted by a parent to a country which has not signed the 1980 Hague Convention on international parental child abduction*, according to new research released today by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO**). In practice this figure is likely to be even higher as many cases are simply not reported. The latest figures represent a ten per cent increase in new cases handled by the FCO in 2010/2011 and have been released to mark the launch of their child abduction prevention campaign. In the past five years the number of new child abduction cases handled by the FCO has doubled, partly as more people of different nationalities form relationships or families relocate overseas. Evidence shows that many
cases occur around school holidays when a parent refuses to return a child following a visit to the parent’s home country. FCO figures also reveal just how widespread the problem has become. Last year the FCO handled cases in 97 ‘non Hague’ countries ranging from Algeria to Zambia. These are countries which have not signed up to the 1980 Hague convention on international parental child abduction and with whom negotiating the return of children to the UK can be extremely complex as there are no international agreements on returning children. Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister Jeremy Browne said the campaign will help people become more aware of what they could do if they think their child may be at risk. “We are very concerned that we continue to see an increase in the number of cases of international parental child abduction. The latest figures suggest the problem affects people from all walks of life and not just certain types of families or particular countries. Finding a solution can be espe-
08 July 2011 - 14 July 2011
cially difficult if a child has been taken to a non-Hague country as there are no international systems in place to help you. This is why prevention is so important. The FCO will do whatever we can to provide advice and support but our role is limited, not least because we cannot interfere in the laws of another country” The FCO has teamed up with
leading parenting websites Mumsnet and the Fatherhood Institute to spread the prevention message and make people aware of the support it can provide. Sharon Cooke, from Reunite International Child Abduction Centre, welcomed the latest advice and said while sometimes there were no warning signs, there were things people
could look for which may indicate their child was at risk. “Where there are warning signs these may include a change in either parent’s behaviour, a breakdown in a relationship or marriage, one parent expressing a wish to take the children on holiday perhaps even on their own without the other parent - or one parent expressing a wish
to move back to the country where the extended family lives,” she said. “For many people the issue of parental child abduction is something with which they may not have had direct personal contact. There’s often a perception – fuelled by a number of high profile cases - that it’s about fathers abducting their children but in reality it is more often mothers who are the abducting parent – either intentionally or unintentionally. However, the latest figures show just how widespread this problem has become,” she said. “The psychological impact on children can be traumatic and for the left-behind parent, the shock and the loss are unbearable, particularly if they don’t know where their children have been taken to. Even after they have been found, the fear and pain of not knowing if their children will return home is unimaginable.” If you are worried your child might be at risk, or if your child has been abducted you can call the Child Abduction Section at the Foreign Office on 0207 008 0878 or www.fco.gov.uk or reunite on 0116 2556 234.

Infamous Mobster denies 19 charges of murder... FORMER US crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger has pleaded not guilty to 19 murder charges in Boston. The 81-year-old had been on the run for 16 years before being arrested outside his home in California last month. Wearing an orange prison jumpsuit, he was led into a court where brothers William “Billy” and John “Jackie” Bulger were present, along with families of some of Bulger’s alleged victims. Bulger was once feared as a leader of the city’s notorious “Winter Hill” gang. He is accused of shooting dead a series of rivals, and in one case strangling a former associate’s girlfriend with his bare hands before pulling out her teeth to make the body difficult to identify. He also faces charges of drug-dealing, extortion, money laundering and conspiracy. Prosecutors plan to call 30 40 witnesses in a trial expected to last four weeks from September 14. However, his defence lawyer says the timetable is unrealistic. “The prosecutors have had 20 years to prepare for the
Page 12
trial,” J W Carney Jr told reporters. “I’ve been on the case now about five days. I haven’t received a single paper from the government regarding discovery. So I have no idea how long this trial will take.” Mr Carney said he believed Bulger would receive a fair trial in Boston, adding his client was “very smart” and “very pleasant to speak to”. Bulger fled Boston in late 1994 after receiving a tip from a corrupt FBI agent that charges were pending. He and his partner, Catherine Greig, were arrested in Santa Monica, California on June 22, days after the government’s new media campaign to find them provided the crucial tip. His life inspired violent Hollywood movie The Departed, in which Jack Nicholson played the role of an ageing gangland mastermind.
Can fish fingers and loo roll save economy? ALL MPs are being asked to nominate a product made in their constituency under a new campaign designed to promote UK manufacturing excellence. Custard creams, fish fingers, ejector seats and toilet rolls are on the eclectic list of initial suggestions from politicians in the ‘Made By Britain’ initiative. The campaign is headed by the Business Secretary Vince Cable, who hopes to showcase the nation’s “innovation and ingenuity”. However, the launch comes just a day after the Government was accused of failing to support Britain’s only train factory, in Derby, where over 1,400 jobs are being cut.

McCain Smiley Potato Faces South Staffordshire The Business Secretary said he was disappointed by the news - and vowed to look at how the Government and rail industry could work to secure sustainable jobs in the UK. ‘Made By Britain’ is being billed as a virtual Crystal Palace - recalling the Great Exhibition of 1851 that celebrated Victorian Britain’s industrial triumphs. Instead of filling giant exhi-
bition halls, the selected products will be displayed online, via an interactive map. “British industry remains among the very best for the quality and originality of what it makes,” said Dr Cable. “We export our goods to every corner of the world, from famous international brands to products which, while less well known, make a real difference to the lives of millions.” Manufactured goods repre-
sent 12% of UK GDP and provide 50% of all exports. The Government has repeatedly said that boosting exports is key to rebalancing the UK economy, but official figures show there is a long way to go. In April the deficit on trade in goods narrowed to £7.4bn in April, compared with £7.7bn in March, but while imports fell by £0.3bn, exports rose by less than £0.1bn.

Queen cuts spending by almost £2 million
British Legion to abandon NOTW over hacking row THE ROYAL British Legion (RBL) has dropped the News Of The World (NOTW) as a longstanding campaign partner - as companies continue to pull adverts in the wake of phone hacking allegations.
THE COST of keeping the monarchy fell by £1.8m last year, Buckingham Palace accounts have shown. The Queen’s official expenditure for 2010/11 was £32.1m - down 5.3% from £33.9m last year. For the first time, the cost was calculated under the new
Page 14
sovereign grant system. “The Queen is very keen that the Royal Household should continue to reduce its expenditure in line with public expenditure reductions,” said Sir Alan Reid, keeper of the privy purse. “The decrease in expenditure is due mainly to increased income generation, the deferral of property maintenance expenditure and
the implementation of a pay freeze. However, republican groups dismissed Buckingham Palace’s comments as “cheap spin”. The Republic campaign group spokesperson Graham Smith said: “Our report released 10 days ago shows clearly that the real cost of the monarchy is over£200m each year.
“That’s enough to feed an army, to pay for thousands of nurses, teachers or police officers every year. “With Prince Charles continuing to have an influence on government and with government agreeing a lucrative new funding deal for the palace, some proper scrutiny and honesty is well overdue. “The monarchy is hugely expensive, it wastes taxpayers’ money every week, it is not properly accountable and it continues to demand more. “This is not an issue that can be swept to one side by cheap spin and headlines.” The Monarchy surrenders the revenue from the Crown Estates in return for public funding. The most recent figures show the Crown Estate income surrendered £210m in the year to March 31, 2010. The 2010-11 Royal Public Finances were calculated using the sovereign grant system - a single grant determined annually that will replace the current civil list from 2013. Under the previous system, the civil list was agreed for a 10-year period and there were three different grantsin-aid providing funding for specific expenditure on royal palaces, communications and transport for official business. Palace sources are understood to be pleased with the new reforms because they give the household more flexibility in determining how to allocate funding. The total figures for the Queen’s official expenditure do not include the Duke of Edinburgh’s parliamentary annuity or the expenditure met directly by Government departments and the Crown Estate.
The charity said it was “shocked to the core” and had “suspended all relations” with the newspaper amid claims the families of fallen soldiers had been targeted. Relatives’ personal details have been found by police combing the files of former NOTW investigator Glenn Mulcaire, according to The Daily Telegraph. The RBL has previously worked with the NOTW on many campaigns, including supporting ex-servicemen by calling for the Military Covenant to be enshrined in law. Meanwhile, advertisers continue to distance themselves from the Sunday tabloid, with Boots, O2 and Sainsbury’s among the latest in a string of firms to halt advertising. BSkyB, owner of Sky News, which is the paper’s biggest advertiser, has announced it will retain advertising this weekend. General Sir David Richards, chief of the defence staff, said the allegations in The Daily Telegraph, if true, were “disgusting”. The Prime Minister’s spokesman said the claims would be “truly appalling” if proven. The RBL said in a state-
ment: “We can’t with any conscience campaign alongside News Of The World on behalf of Armed Forces families while it stands accused of preying on these same families in the lowest depths of their misery.” RBL’s advertising budget with News International (NI) which also publishes The Sun, The Times and The Sunday Times - is under review. The Armed Forces will, rightly, be just as indignant if these phone hacking allegations are true. The Daily Telegraph has published claims families of 7/7 bombing victims may have also been hacked. The BBC has said parents of murdered Soham schoolgirls Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman could have been targeted and The Guardian reported murder victim Milly Dowler’s phone was also accessed illegally. Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corporation, NI’s parent company, has described phone hacking and claims the tabloid’s journalists paid police - as “deplorable and unacceptable”. However, he backed the NOTW’s former editor and current NI chief executive Rebekah Brooks, who has faced calls to resign. With concerns about alleged practices at the paper mounting, News International documents indicating Scotland Yard officers received payments from the NOTW have been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Worker killed as footy stadium crashes down PART of a football stadium in the Netherlands has collapsed killing one person and trapping others under the wreckage. Part of the roof at the FC Twente football stadium in Enschede came crashing down around midday, according to a police spokesman. “People are trapped but we don’t know how many,” said Jan Lamberts. Emergency services are at the stadium, which was
reportedly undergoing renovation work during the off season. Construction workers are believed to have been the only people in the stadium at the time. The local mayor said one worker had been killed and 10 others are being treated for their injuries in hospital. Pictures on local news websites show a large section of the roof has crashed on to a bank of red seats behind one of the goals. The team, Dutch national champion in 2010, was believed to be training elsewhere at the time of the collapse.

UK illegal film downloads ‘on the rise by nearly 30%’ THE NUMBER of illegally downloaded films in the UK has gone up nearly 30% in five years, according to research by internet consultancy firm Envisional. The research claims that the top five box office movies were illegally downloaded in the UK a total of 1.4 million times last year. Avatar, which led the list with box office takings of £98m in the UK in 2010, was illegally downloaded an estimated 200,000 times. The film industry says the practice costs the British economy £170m a year and is putting thousands of jobs at risk. It added that there has been a sharp rise in TV shows being illegally downloaded online. Dr David Price was the lead member of the team behind the research. He said: “The methods of piracy have become easier,

Research for the government has shown that film piracy costs the industry

about half a billion pounds a year. “About a third of that is due to illegal downloading of film and TV content. “Clearly that is unacceptable.” Research suggests people are illegally downloading more TV shows too. The top five most popular shows were illegally downloaded a total of 1.24 million times in the UK last year, a 33% increase on 2006. “We have a big demand in this country for north American TV shows in particular,” Dr Price said. “Shows like Glee and House are heavily illegally down-
loaded in the UK. “We’re very eager to get the television shows as soon as they get broadcast in the US. “But we often have to wait for one month or two months for those shows to be shown legitimately in the UK.” He added that the film industry needed to be more competitive to fight the problem of piracy. “The best way to challenge this is to give people what they want. “People are prepared to pay for downloads, so making these things legitimately available would be a huge step forward.”
THIRTY CHILDREN and four teachers have been freed unharmed after a man holding them hostage in a nursery in Malaysia was shot in the head by a police sniper. The drama started when the unidentified man walked into a school in a two-storey house in Muar, a town in southern Johor state about two hours’ drive from Singapore. Armed with a hammer and a machete, he took a group of three- to five-year-old children and their teacher hostage for the next six hours. He reportedly locked all the doors before threatening to kill the children unless he was given a gun. Police then sealed off the premises. A psychiatrist was sent in to talk to the man, and the children were heard
singing in an attempt to calm him down, a witness reported. When it became apparent negotiations were not going to bear fruit, commandos armed with assault rifles fired tear gas into the building before storming it. The man, who is believed to have a history of mental problems, is now in hospital in a critical condition. Witnesses said the children were calm and showed no fear as they emerged from the building, singing songs led by their teachers and walking into the waiting arms of their cheering parents who hugged them tightly. They were greeted by applause from a crowd of around 1,000 onlookers and nearby residents who had spent hours following the drama.

More on those Spanish taxes you must pay!
I HAVE received many queries regarding my column in Canarian Weekly and I answer most of them personally. I also like to publish a few because I feel they are of great interest to our readers, and here is the latest offering. Dear Mariano, I read with interest your article on Spanish taxes you must pay in your recent Canarian Weekly column. The paragraph on Non-residents income tax was especially interesting. Your wrote: “This tax applies to non-residents who own a property on the island and just work a few months here during the year.“ Can you advise me on the position concerning those who do not work but have a property here? Are they liable for tax? I would be delighted to hear from you or, better still, put it in your column so that all Canarian Weekly readers can see your answer, together with a follow-up article deal-
Page 16
ing with this aspect of tax. Yours, VF If you are non-resident, you are subject to personal income tax (including capital gains tax), property tax, plus an additional non-resident property tax. Personal income tax for nonresidents comes from the income of the property. It does not include income from salary because this is applicable if you are resident. The “non-resident income tax” is logically applied to those who do not live permanently in Spain (or work just few months so they cannot be considered residents). If the property is rented, the non-resident has to declare the amount received in rent. If the property is for the non-resident’s own use, then the tax payable would be a percentage on the value of the property. Non-residents, personal income tax: The income to be declared is a percentage of the cadastral value of the property (this value appears in the IBI invoice). Property rented: The
income to be declared in this case is the total amount collected from the tenant, without deducting any expenses. Capital gains on the sale of the property: Capital gains on the sale of property are taxable income which has to be included in your income tax form (residents and nonresidents). The purchase value is the purchase amount, plus the expenses and taxes paid that were involved in the purchase. The sale value is the sale amount, minus the expenses and taxes paid. This topic exceeds the purposes of this article and it is quite difficult to summarise, but I hope this helps. Remember, too, that this is my opinion and may not concur with the opinions of some others. It is just a general view and so, for particular cases, you will have to ask for proper advice.

Lions lay on another Great holiday treat for youngsters A 30-STRONG group of under-privileged and special-needs youngsters and their carers left Tenerife last Friday for an eight-day holiday at Haven Holidays Park in Caister, Great Yarmouth.
The trip was organised in conjunction with Lions clubs in the UK, and sponsored by Tenerife Sur Lions. The venue is a four-star, allaction park, featuring a new pool and entertainment show bars. The group had a variety of excursions and activities laid on for them, including visits to beautiful beaches, landscapes, historical sites and adventure
parks. The trip was made possible through the generous support Tenerife Sur Lions receive over here, which is gratefully acknowledged. It was the second of two holidays arranged and funded by the Lions this year. In May, a party of 45 specialneeds and under-privileged
youngsters came over from England for a week’s holiday at the Princesa Dacil Hotel, in Los Cristianos. Funding for both holidays came from a variety of sources, including proceeds from the Lions’ charity shops at the Apolo Centre in Los Cristianos, and at Costa del Silencio.
Local bars, restaurants, businesses and schools have also played a big part through their fund raising activities. Special thanks go to Club La Costa for a generous donation towards the holidays, and for providing transport for a Down’s Syndrome group from La Laguna.
If you feel you can support the Lions in furthering their objective of helping underprivileged people in any way (not just for holidays), they would welcome your support, ideas or suggestions. Also, if you are interested in becoming a Lion, check out their website at www.tenerifesurlions.org
Who would be so wicked as to dump these pitiful dogs? TWO poor dogs, abandoned by a heartless owner in Guia de Isora last week, were taken to the Accion del Sol refuge in a pitiful condition by the local authority. They were totally emaciated, full of fleas, dehydrated and starving. A dog chain, which had somehow grown into the neck of one poor animal, was removed during an operation. The dogs were named Carol and Tina by two Brits, who reported their distress to the police. Happily, the pooches are now on the long, slow road to recovery. They were not microchipped, which means that whoever dumped them
will not be prosecuted because there is no way of tracing the owner. It is one of the most dastardly cases of cruelty witnessed by staff at the Granadilla sanctuary for some time. Yet the dogs are gorgeous and, even after all they’ve been through, they still wag their tails and let you touch them. Accion voluntary worker Karen Clack, said: “I visited them just three days after they were brought in to the refuge and they were looking much better already. “They are both boxer mixes and, once they have been
nursed back to full health, they will be seeking a new home - ideally together.” If you have suitable space and may be interested in adopting them, please contact the refuge on 922 778 630. Please visit Accion del Sol if you are looking to adopt a dog. The refuge is open Monday-Friday (3-6pm) and is situated at junction 51 on the TF1, right next to the ecological wind farm ITER, at Granadilla Poligono Industrial Estate. Remember, every animal brought there by the various Town Hall dog-catchers in the South receives full veterinary care, is bathed, deflead, wormed, inoculat-
Four legs or two, the race is on!
Lots of serious runners and novices, as well as some competitive children, took part with plenty of refuge dogs also competing and having a brilliant time. The event was extremely well attended and the prizes were awarded by Esteban Gonzalez, Granadilla’s Councillor for Economy and Finance. A great day was had by all and, hopefully, two or three more dogs have found new loving homes as a result. Marion, who runs the Aktiontier-sponsored refuge, conveyed her thanks to everyone who helped make it such a special day.
SATURDAY’S annual Fun Race was a huge success, attracting over 130 entrants aged from 4-80, with a mixture of Spanish, German and English people all joining in.

ed, micro-chipped, passported and sterilised or castrated, all ready for its new home. More and more English people are supporting the charity, which is great for animal welfare here in South Tenerife. If you think you can help out in any way, maybe by dogwalking or donating blankets, towels or toys for the dogs, then please get in touch. For more information, contact the refuge on 922 778 630, or their eventpage link on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ event.php?eid=171476136240 452

The gripping drama returns to ITV1 for a brand new series. The first episode, The Wrong Man, sees the police investigate several mysterious deaths in a hospital – which leads to a challenging case for the crown prosecutors. Starring Bradley Walsh, Jamie Bamber, Harriet Walter, Freema Agyeman, Dominic Rowan, Peter Davison, James Fox and Frances Tomelty. Suzanne Morton is brought into a hospital A&E

department with flu-like symptoms – and leaves in a body bag. Detectives Ronnie Brooks (Walsh) and Matt Devlin (Bamber) treat her case as suspicious as they investigate the department, which has had three similar deaths within six months. The ward was extremely busy the night Suzanne died, which makes their job tougher – can they find the killer before another victim is targeted? When the case comes to
court, senior crown prosecutor Jacob Thorne (Rowan) is pulled in opposite directions as the chief suspect claims to have been framed for murder by others in his department. With a conspiracy of silence spreading through the hospital staff, it becomes clear that there is more to the case than meets the eye. In order to find the truth, the team must penetrate the hospital staff’s web of professional loyalties.

Against the odds, Jack survived and made his way to Manchester in 1945. Jack feels that religion is not as important as basic common humanity. He does not practise all aspects of the Jewish faith, but he is a celebrated survivor venerated by the local community. Having made a successful career in the luggage trade, Jack is thrilled to have the money to throw his grandson a lavish Bar Mitzvah – a special moment which is caught on camera.

produced meat, fish, fruit and vegetables. The first series of the programme, shown at the end of last year during the festive season, focused on winter fare, and this new series follows on seasonally, looking at some of the wonderful array of food produced during the summer months. In the first episode, Mike and Paul visit South Devon – which means that Devon cream
teas, those great British summer staples, will be on the menu. Paul and Mike also seek out some of the vast variety of seafood available in the county. The duo pay a visit to Salcombe on the most southerly part of the Devon coast, where the local speciality is shellfish – in particular the Salcombe crab. Plus Mike and Paul discover the delights of Devon’s very own Ruby Red beef.

JOE ‘IN MY OPINION’ FERGUSON Weekly Update Email: joe.ferguson@canarianweekly.com
Light at the end THIS is just a simple story that will shed light on my decision to live and work in Tenerife. It will also show those who are going through maybe the same trouble I did that there is always hope. When this week’s Canarian Weekly hits the news stands today (Friday), it will be exactly five years since my arrival. I left my family and friends with no idea what the future would hold. To know me then was not a pretty sight. I had just gone through a disastrous relationship, with a child on the way. I have made it no secret that the mother of my first child has stopped me from seeing him. She was just three months pregnant then, and there was nothing more I could do back in Belfast to sort the horrible situation out. So, after two spells in hospital with depression, and a final request to do the right thing, I had no option but to get away. I contacted Oasis Fm, who had heard my demo and said Yes to a job. So, on 8th July 2006, I boarded the flight from Belfast to catch a connecting flight to Tenerife from Manchester. I really did not think too much of it during the flight, to be honest, as it just seemed as though I were going on holiday. But waiting nearly four hours for the connection was all too much. I had to get on the phone and talk to a friend because I was sure I was making a huge mistake. In the bathroom at Manchester Airport I was in tears, asking if I were making a huge mistake. My friends all
Page 30
knew what I was being put through by the other party, and they also knew I was not the same person they had all known for years. I got the same answer from them all: I needed to get away as I was up against a brick wall. That flight to Tenerife was just the worst. When I arrived, the people I met at Oasis Fm, and those I met near my apartment, noticed how quiet I was. I simply could not shake that empty feeling I had. Fast-forward a fortnight, and the party concerned over my reason to come to Tenerife was in daily contact with me. She visited me for a week and her pregnancy was starting to show. She seemed like a different person and talked me into going back to Belfast to be with her. At this point, the smile came back to my face. During my last week in Tenerife, I learned that I was to be the father of a son. I was sorry I had let down Oasis and my new friends. I arrived back in Belfast on 11th August 2006 and made my way down to start off a new chapter in my life. It took only two days for games to be played, and for my brain to be turned into mash again. I was beyond help for the next few months because I could not call or find out any information. My first son was born on Christmas Eve 2006. I heard about it from a friend in a pub on New Year’s Eve. The next day, I was informed via email by the mother of my child SEVEN days after everyone else had been told. I went through hell just to see him - and to get myself on
his birth certificate. I have seen him for just three hours of his soon-to-be-five years of his life. I was going through a dark period again with no chance of any contact, so I took the decision to contact Oasis Fm again. Lucky for me, they seemed to miss me! When I arrived back on the Island, I told staff the story and they took me under their wing. Not one day passed without the feeling of knowing I had a son back home and couldn’t see him. Contact with that other party was given to me on three occasions and I fell for it again, only to be slapped in the face, and mind games played on me were even bigger than before. I go into the finer details on these things as they scarred in my brain because of being manipulated, and with a child involved. So when I think back to those times, I look at myself now. If someone had told me then how happy I would be feeling five years on, I’d have thought they were madder than me! So, if I had not come to Tenerife, I would not have met wonderful friends, worked for the biggest radio station and met the love of my life, who has given me the chance to enjoy life with a beautiful son. I need no sympathy or replies regarding this story. I just wish to say that there is always hope. You do not think it at the time, obviously, but even at your last moment of darkness, please, I beg of you, keep a focus and remember your life will turn for the better. I am living proof.

The Great British Weather 7.30pm, BBC1 Macs, umbrellas and sunglasses at the ready! BBC One’s new live show, The Great British Weather, an interactive live series set to tap in to the nation’s obsession with weather, kicks off with a visit to the first location, Porthminster Beach in St Ives, Cornwall. The resident presenters, Alexander Armstrong, Carol Kirkwood and Chris Hollins, start to unpeel the mysterious world of British weather with help from weather legend Bill Giles. They examine how the UK’s latitude and status as an island surpris-
Page 32
ingly affects day-to-day weather. Humans have attempted to predict the weather for thousands of years and it requires knowledge of how the atmosphere, the Earth’s surface and the oceans work. There are always surprises in store when it comes down to British weather but the presenters examine how vital accurate weather predictions were in planning one of the most crucial operations of the Second World War – D-Day – and how forecasting has developed over the years.
As well as taking a microscopic view of Cornwall’s unique weather, Chris gets up close and personal with the basking shark as he dives in head-first and follows an enticing trail of plankton, courtesy of the Gulf Stream. Why is the second biggest fish in the world attracted to this area? Chris gets his hands dirty as he finds out why sea has an effect on the weather. With the help of viewers, Alexander and the team create the first-ever live interactive weather map right on the beach.

Alexa Havins, Mekhi Phifer, Eve Myles and John Barrowman star in Torchwood – Miracle DayOne day, nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next, and the next, people keep ageing – they get hurt and sick, but they never die. The result: a population boom, overnight. With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month’s time, the human race will cease to be viable. But this can’t
be a natural event – someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as CIA agent Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex keeps asking: “What is Torchwood?”, he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means to be human ... for ever. In The New World, the launch episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day, Agent Rex Matheson is impaled in a car crash and
miraculously survives, while his analyst, Esther Drummond, sets out to discover what Torchwood is. Far away, in Wales, Gwen Cooper lives in hiding with her husband Rhys and daughter Anwen – she’s the last surviving Torchwood member and is determined to stay hidden. In Kentucky, convicted murderer Oswald Danes survives his own execution. And when Esther meets the mysterious Captain Jack Harkness, assassins are activated to kill them all...
Golf – The Open 9.00am-8.00pm BBC TWO Peter Alliss commentates on the first day of the 140th Open Championship. Hazel Irvine and Dan Walker present live action as the 140th Open Championship day one leader board begins to take shape. Royal St George’s first played host to the Open Championship 117 years ago. England’s John Henry Taylor shot a first round 84 but still went on to lift the Claret Jug. Twelve months ago it was Rory McIlroy, so often a low scorer in the opening rounds, who took centre stage at St Andrews. The Northern Irishman opened his tournament with a 63, the best round of the entire four days of competition; it left him two shots clear of eventual winner Louis Oosthuizen.
Single-Handed ITV 9pm Brand new six-part series of the critically acclaimed drama filmed on location in the wilds of Connemara. Owen McDonnell reprises his role as Sergeant Jack Driscoll, who polices the rural terrain in the west of Ireland. Award winning actor Stephen Rea guest stars in the first episode of the series, in which a dark family secret and the murder of an elderly recluse force Jack to confront a brutal past while grappling with the case of a troubled delinquent. When an elderly man’s body is found in his ransacked home, troubled youngster Ruairi (Diarmuid Noyes) becomes the prime suspect, and Jack heads for the mountains where he apprehends Ruairi before questioning
him in a nearby adventure centre. Ruairi denies killing the old man - but incriminating evidence in the shape of a piece of the victim’s walking stick is found in his rucksack. Meanwhile, Brian Doyle (Matthew McNulty) and his girlfriend Gemma (Simone Lahbib) arrive from the UK hoping to trace Brian’s long-lost father. Jack is totally shocked when his mother (Ruth McCabe) reveals that she had an older brother, Sean (Rea), who was sent away when she was very young, and that Jack and Brian are cousins. This is the first Jack has ever heard of an Uncle Sean. He is disturbed to learn that Sean was sent to an industrial school. Why was Jack’s uncle erased from the family history books?

SUE MCDONALD Women don’t fancy Common Sense Furnishings Email: sue.mcdonald@canarianweekly.com
An extra room in your house YOUR balcony, terrace or garden is an extension of your home here in Tenerife. We are fortunate enough to be able to use this space for most of the year, so it makes sense to give some thought about how to furnish it. People who have only a small space available to them such as a balcony, often tend to think that there is nothing they can do with the area to make it attractive. This is simply not the case. Whether you have a couple of square metres, a sizeable terrace, or a garden, there are lots of tips for making the area attractive and appealing. Firstly, think about the pathway between your room and your terrace/garden area. A real summer image, for me, is white voile curtains billowing in the breeze. Try to keep the area as clear as possible, and don’t use it for dumping stuff (if you have any other option). Clean the floors, walls and any balustrades and, if necessary, freshen up the walls with a quick coat of paint. Have the most comfortable seating you can afford in terms of budget and space. Even if your space is small, try to get a couple of good comfortable chairs, or cushions at the very least, which will make spending time outside a more comfortable option. If you have the space, invest in a couple of nice armchairs, or better still, a sofa set. The best option here is synthetic rattan. That’s a posh term for plastic, woven to look like rattan but, unlike the original, it is impervious to the elements. Look for a strong frame, preferably in aluminium. You
Page 38
may have noticed that most bars are changing from the cheap-looking resin to this kind of furniture because it looks so much better, is stronger, easy to clean and completely impervious to rain. Team it with some comfy cushions, and your outside area will become an extra room for the house. Maybe decorate the walls with some metallic or ceramic wall art that won’t be damaged by the weather. Think about what you will use the area for. If you like to sunbathe or doze outside, go for a recliner rather than an upright chair. If you prefer to eat outside, you will need chairs that are the right height and shape to be used at a table. And if you don’t have a large table, consider small sidetables for drinks and snacks. Next you need to consider lighting. Again, this will depend on what you use your space for. If you like to read there after dark, you will need to ensure the lighting is adequate, and if the fixtures are not suitable for this, consider using lamps to supplement them. If, on the other hand, you tend you use the area to relax in the evening, ambient lighting may be sufficient. Here, there are many options. Solar
lights, either individually or in a string, will store the power from the sun during the day, and light up automatically at dusk. They won’t provide sufficient light to read by, but even one on its own will provide a nice glow. They cost nothing to run and, since we have sunshine most days, they are an excellent choice over here. Candles are also an option if you don’t have small children or pets in the house and can create a relaxing atmosphere, especially the scented variety. But use citronella candles to combat mosquitoes. If you don’t have a garden as such, a few small plants in pots will soften the area and make it more tropical. But if you have an upstairs terrace, be aware of the weight of your plants. A friend of mine has created a tropical paradise on his roof terrace, but I am sure it’s going to end up in the supermarket underneath one day! So now you have a clean, tidy area, comfortable and nicely lit, where you can sit and read, eat or just relax and look at the stars, making the most of our lovely weather. All items mentioned are available from Deco Nuevo next to Ofipapel in Los Cristianos.
shopping for clothes NEARLY half of women actually hate the thought of rummaging through clothes racks to finds that perfect dress, That is the startling outcome of a survey conducted by analysts Mintel, which will come as a surprise to their partners, who are often forced to hang around for hours in shops. Up to 44% say they dread shopping expeditions, while new mums hate the thought even more. Some 47% of
them with children under five years of age struggle to find clothes that are both fashionable and flattering. In fact, trying on clothes is the top shopping dread, and almost half the women polled do not the experience. They believe the clothes stores target young customers, which makes their task even more difficult. Mintel spokeswoman Michelle Strutton said: “Given that new mothers are inclined to struggle to find trendy clothes for their new shapes, there is a gap in the market for retailers target-
ing these women. “So many avoid certain styles of clothes, and a quarter of them struggle to find retailers selling fashionable items for their size. “It means more non-specialist retailers should incorporate larger sizes into their ranges to attract the fullerfigured shopper.” It also means that online clothes shopping is likely to enhance growth in the women’s sector. That’s because 17% more women than last year are comparing prices online before setting out for the shops.
Dishwashers’ handiwork simply not good enough! DISHWASHERS are considered to be one of the great kitchen necessities for mums with kids, but do they really do the job properly? Not according to many owners, who have so little faith in the machines that they often avoid using them, while others rinse their cutlery and crockery before loading up their dishwasher, which defeats the object. That apart, 60% of them are forced to wash their pots and pans by hand after
they’ve been ‘dishwashed’ because they are still dirty. This love-hate relationship with the dishwasher has been revealed in a survey of 3,000 adults, which set out to find the least-trusted home appliance. And 71% said the dishwash-
er was most likely of all appliances not to do its job correctly. The washing machine was voted second-worst under-performer, with the kettle in third spot. Surprisingly, perhaps, the dishwasher’s black mark has not harmed its popularity according to the Vileda survey, because it is the one appliance - cooker or oven apart - which is a must-have in the kitchen. Some house-seekers will actually reject a property if it doesn’t have a dishwasher, and Vileda spokesperson Lindsey Taylor said: “They are now a staple of most British kitchens. “It’s the first thing we insist on in a new kitchen, other than a cooker. Yet, it is the home appliance we trust the least. “We carried out the study because we wanted to test the public’s relationship with domestic appliances. We rely more and more on gadgets and gizmos making our domestic lives easier and more efficient. “Today, we really can’t live without a lot of things we considered to be luxuries only 10 years ago.” Another reason for people disliking dishwashers, however, could be that they find it therapeutic to wash dishes by hand!

The man whose Palace of dreams turned into a blooming nightmare
THE annual flower show at Hampton Court Palace is now regarded as the biggest and best in the world - and it’s all down to local man Adrian Boyd. Adrian, a management consultant from just across the road in East Molesey, Surrey,
spotted an opening that should, ultimately, have made him wealthy beyond his wildest dreams. His idea was to link two organisations facing awkward times in a joint venture. The Department of the Environment had been taken apart in the Eighties, with Historic Royal Palaces suddenly needing to generate revenue. At the same time Network
Southeast, which ran daily trains into Hampton Court from Waterloo, was looking for ways of making its services more profitable. Boyd suggested that Network Southeast should sponsor a flower show in the unused grounds of the Palace, once the home of King Henry VIII, and provide public transport to the local railway station. Thus, the event was born in
1990, and although it drew little trade support, special trains were laid on and people flocked to the show in their thousands. A delighted Network Southeast spokesman said: “Some 70% of the estimated 300,000 visitors used rail, and that has paid for our sponsorship many times over.” Meanwhile, the Royal Horticultural Society considered whether it wanted to
get involved the following year, especially as its own triumphant Chelsea Flower Show was bursting at the seams. Adrian Boyd, and his team of organisers, after an initial rejection, invited them on board from 1992. Then came a bombshell for luckless Adrian: Network Southeast withdrew its support. He had no legal entitlement to the show and was forced
to put in a “blind” tender for the 1993 spectacular. Needless to say, after negotiations and competitive bidding, Historic Royal Palaces accepted a bid from the RHS. The rest, just like Hampton Court Palace itself, is history. The RHS went from strength to strength, with new introductions each year, and poor old Adrian was left to ponder over what might have been.
Judy gets Royal seal of approval at Hampton Court Flower Show JUDY CORNFORD struggled so much to master the intricacies of the internet that her eventual success gave her the inspiration to create a garden. Now, the 70-year-old former interior designer has been
honoured with an award at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. The pensioner, from Kintbury in Berkshire, won silver in the Show Garden category on Wednesday with her entry, The Eye Of The Internet Maze. “It means a lot to me, and it will encourage me to do more
08 July 2011 - 14 July 2011
in the future,” said Judy, who had entered the competition for the first time. After 35 years in interior design, she switched tack two years ago and studied for a degree in garden design. And following her battle to crack the internet, she saw the possibility of creating a garden maze to symbolise
what she had been through. “All the paths are curved, so you can’t see the goal you are aiming at from the start of any of them, and you don’t know which one to choose,” she said. She planted Monkey Puzzle trees surrounded by a “tangled mesh” of Corokia cotoneaster (wire-netting
plant), which represented “a hinder to progress”. Judy said the surrounding small hedges of Buxus sempervirens were indicative of thinking inside and outside the box. Finally, she explained: “The water feature in the middle is flowing with the everlasting knowledge that you can gain
from the internet.” Judy is a valued member of the Kintbury and District Horticultural Society, who listed her “appointment” at the Palace on their calendar of forthcoming events with pride. No doubt they will be toasting her success at their Annual Show on 6th August.

CARL PATTISON Getting your healthy from Robot, answers your hair questions
teeth into pregancy
That longing for more LET’S face it, I’m no lover of long hair, and I hate to see any type of hair mistreated. But it seems that you long-haired ladies out there are the worst at looking after your crowning glory. I get told off all the time by friends when I’m out for making remarks about long hair that needs cutting. But believe me, I can tell when hair has not been cut for a few months. And I get a bit mad to see hair which has not been touched for years … yes years! It takes more than a few months to get the “I’ve had rats chewing at the bottom of my hair” look, When split-ends have splitends, there is only one thing that’s coming near your head, 1.
and its not a conditioner but my scissors. Why would you walk around with long hair which has been so badly treated that it would cry if it could talk? If you had bad teeth, would you smile? If your feet were cracked and dry, would you put them on show? So why do some women parade around with that attitude of “Wow, look at my long hair everyone”? Yeah, it’s long, but it looks like hamsters’ bedding! Okay, enough of my rantings, so what’s the solution? Well, first take a look in the mirror. Is your long hair framing your face? Do you actually wear it loose? When did you last have it cut? Are 2.
you actually young enough to have it that long? Then maybe a visit to the salon is in order - not to have it all removed, but to put some life back into it. Let the stylist bring it up to date, and offer some advice on keeping it conditioned. If you can honestly tell me that your hair doesn’t need cutting because you’re “keeping it long”, then don’t knock on my door. ALL long hair needs cutting a minimum of four times a year. Once you have had the worst of the damage removed, then a cut every three months is enough to keep it in good shape. 3.
1. My first picture shows a good length of hair, but she’s got shape to it, the layers flatter her face and the fringe gives the whole look a modern edge. With having so many layers, she is able to vary her looks, from curly to pokerstraight. 2. The second model shows that even without a fringe, long hair can have movement and be soft. The bounce created by the choppy layering gives it a “dishevelled” look, so that it does not appear too “set”. Great if you want to create volume and waves. 3. The third girl proves that long hair needn’t be boring. The full fringe and heavy layering make this look edgy, along with the “in” colour at the moment, which is red.
Make sure you’re fully protected! IT’S cover-up time! Yes it’s that time of year again when my warning goes out to all of you to protect your hair in the sun. I was at the beach last weekend and yup, again, there was unprotected, bleached hair everywhere I turned (no, I can’t give it up, even on my day off). There was wet hair being “brushed” to within an inch of
Page 40
its life, and sand-filled hair being pulled into a tight ponytail with an elastic band. AHHHH! I’m not going on like I usually do because you all know the score: BEACH equals hair nightmares, so do something about it before you go there. For example, pile on a hair masque and slick it back or tie it up with a soft scrunchy
because elastic bands are now illegal. Also, always rinse your hair after being in the sea and then, as soon as possible, wash it at home. Don’t leave seawater to dry into your hair! After all, you wouldn’t sunbathe without cream, would you? So treat your hair the same way as you’d treat your skin … love it!
DENTAL experts have discovered that women with gum diseases take longer to conceive than those with healthy mouths. So, if you girls want a baby, then brush your teeth regularly because it will speed things up by two months at least. The first survey of its kind found that it took an average 7.1 months for women with dodgy teeth to get pregnant,
compared with just five months for those who were oral-health conscious. Experts at the University of Western Australia said the delay was similar to that produced by being obese, and Professor Roger Hart, added: “All women should have gum disease treated before trying to conceive.” Previous research had linked the state of a man’s mouth with his fertility, so couples wanting children need to brush regularly. Gum disease creates inflam-
mation, which sets off a cascade of tissue-destruction that can pass into the circulation and delay conception. It has also been linked with pregnancy problems and a variety of other complaints, such as miscarriage and premature birth. Dr Allan Pacey, leading fertility expert at the University of Sheffield School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, said: “It could be that gum disease is a sign of poor health, but I suspect there is more to it than that.”

VAL SAINSBURY Keeping her finger on the pulse Email: val.sainsbury@canarianweekly.com
Anti-smoking pill may raise heart-attack risk A STOP-SMOKING pill used by thousands of Britons may increase the risk of heart attacks and stroke by more than 72%. Champix (varenicline), a prescription-only medicine, accounted for nearly one million prescriptions in England last year. The drug works by cutting cravings, but it has raised past fears after patients reported depression, suicidal thoughts and anxiety. Now a team of researchers have linked the drug - one of the most common stopsmoking drugs prescribed worldwide - to an increased risk of being admitted to hospital with a serious car-
diac problem such as a heart attack. The study, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, analysed data for more than 8,000 people from 14 medical trials. Taking the drug was associated with a “significantly increased risk of serious adverse cardiovascular events”, such as heart attack and stroke, when compared with a placebo. Dr Sonal Singh, from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Maryland, America, who worked on the study, said: “Among tobacco users, varenicline use was associated with a significantly-
increased risk of serious, adverse, cardiovascular events greater than 72%.” The authors said the drug helped people quit, which should improve their heart health. Yet those taking the drug had an increased risk of heart attacks and stroke, and this was seen in people with and without heart disease. Dr Singh said: “People want to quit smoking to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, but in this case they’re taking a drug that increases the risk for the very problems they’re trying to avoid.” Doireann Maddock, senior cardiac nurse at the British
Heart Foundation, said: “This finding is a concern, but further research is needed before firm conclusions can be drawn. “People using varenicline to help them stop smoking should not stop taking it because of this study alone, but they should chat to their GPs about it, and find out about the options available.” A statement from manufacturer Pfizer said: “We strongly believe in and support Champix as an important treatment option. Pfizer disagree with the interpretation of the data in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.”
Protein sports drinks don’t enhance energy levels A SCIENTIFIC study of protein-based sport drinks in the UK suggests that they may not enhance the performance of athletes. It could damage the sportsdrink industry, which makes millions from selling drinks and other supplements to people who want to increase their energy and stamina while exercising. When scientists at the University of Bath reviewed the effects of the supplements, they found they offered no more benefits than the protein found in a normal, balanced diet. Dr James Betts, from the university’s department for health, reviewed the results of all existing research into
the effects of supplements containing carbohydrate and protein. “While many carbohydrate drinks are often appropriate for individuals keen to enhance their performance, claims that protein can be of similar benefit are simply not supported by firm scientific evidence,” he said. “Aside from these proposed effects during exercise, many supplement manufacturers claim that supplementing our diets with added protein may help the body to adapt to physical training. “Protein is, of course, an essential part of our diets, but even athletes who are training hard will almost certainly get more than enough
08 July 2011 - 14 July 2011
protein from the food they eat.” Dr Betts’ review of the available evidence identifies that much of the research into these supplements has been conducted on people in the morning. They were not allowed to eat anything for a number of hours, so food in any form might be expected to be beneficial. “There is a need for more evidence showing whether these supplements can be useful under ‘real-world’ conditions, such as following exercise later in the day when usual meals will have already provided the necessary nutrients,” said the doctor. He added that people con-
sidering the use of such supplements should be aware of the strength of evidence supporting the desired effects, and that this should be balanced against the possible risks. “An analysis of around 600 over-the-counter nutritional supplements was conducted a few years ago,” said Dr Betts. “It was found that 10-20% were contaminated with anabolic hormones not stated on the label, mostly testosterone and nandrolone, with supplements purchased on the UK market at the upper end of this range.” His findings will be published in the next issue of Medicine & Science in Sport & Exercise.
Youngsters are still ignoring the risk of skin cancer from sun
TEENAGERS and those in their 20s are more likely than older people to get sunburned and sit out during the hottest part of the day. More than half of those aged 16-30 go out into the sun daily during summer, compared with 44% of those in the 31-45 group. Almost one in five (17%) never avoid the hottest part of the day (11am-3pm), compared with 9% of the 31-45 age group, 6% of those aged 46 to 60 and 7% of over-60s. When asked if they allow their skin to burn, 19% of younger people said they did more than once a year, compared with 6% of those aged 31-60 and 3% of over-60s. Almost a quarter of younger people also never wear a cover-up or hat to protect their skin, compared with 8% of those in their 30s and early 40s. Even young people who
have experienced skin cancer, or had a family member with the disease, are no less likely to go out in the sun or burn than those with no history. A study of 1,000 people is being presented at the British Association of Dermatologists’ (BAD) annual conference in London. Cancer Research UK figures show that rates of malignant melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, have tripled among those aged 1534 since the late 1970s. Then, there were 1.8 cases of melanoma per 100,000 people in this age group, rising to 5.9 now. Nina Goad, from BAD, said young people could feel under pressure to look tanned, while older people may take into account the ageing effects of the sun. She added: “With so much education, in schools and in publicity campaigns, aimed at young people, it is a real worry that this age group are still either ignorant to, or choosing to ignore, sun-safety messages.”

Taste the real thing, with these homemade burgers
IT ALWAYS seems to be the barbecue season here in Tenerife, and it is so easy to chuck a few storebought burgers and sausages on the grill, then dish them out alongside a help-yourself salad bowl. But BBQs can be so much more fun if you make the burgers yourself. For starters - and no disrespect to local stores - they taste so much better, and you can flavour them any way you want to. Beef is the traditional meat ingredient for burgers, although pork and lamb can also be used. Okay, this suggested recipe obviously take more time to prepare, but the overall effect is well worth it. So how about homemade beefburgers with homemade tomato ketchup (a much better taste as well), chips and corn on the cob? Ingredients Tomato ketchup 75ml/3fl oz red wine vinegar ½ tsp ground coriander ½ tsp ground cinnamon 25g/1oz light, soft-brown sugar 1 fresh bay leaf 1 x 400g/14oz can chopped tinned tomatoes
Page 42
1 tsp salt 1 tsp English mustard powder 1 garlic clove, crushed Tabasco sauce, to taste 2 tsp tomato purĂŠe 1 tbsp cornflour, mixed to a paste with 1 tbsp water Corn on the cob 2 corn on the cob, cut in half, horizontally 50g/2oz butter Beefburgers 1 tbsp olive oil 2 shallots, 1 finely chopped, 1 sliced into rings 700g/1lb 9oz quality minced beef 2 tbsp chopped flatleaf parsley 4 burger buns 1 round lettuce, leaves separated 2 vine tomatoes, sliced thickly 1 buffalo mozzarella, cut into 4 thick slices Onion rings and chips vegetable oil, for frying 1 shallot, sliced 3 tbsp plain flour 1 free-range egg, lightly beaten 50g/2oz breadcrumbs 2 large potatoes for chipping, cut into fine matchsticks Preparation For the ketchup, heat the vinegar, spices and sugar in a heavy-based saucepan until simmering. Add the remaining ingredients, except the corn flour, bring to the boil and stir to prevent the mixture from sticking to the side of the
pan. Once the mixture has reached boiling point, reduce the temperature to a simmer and cook for a further 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Blend the mixture in a blender until smooth, and then push the ketchup through a sieve into a bowl. If the mixture is a little thin, whisk the cornflour mixture into the ketchup and heat until it thickens. Season with salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Cook the corn on the cob in a pan of boiling water for 6-8 minutes. Drain and return to the pan with the butter, then season with salt and freshlyground black pepper. Keep warm. For the beefburgers, heat the oil in a frying pan, then fry the shallot for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Remove pan from the heat and set aside to cool slightly. Place the beef mince, cooked shallot and flatleaf parsley, in a large bowl and mix until well combined. Season to taste with salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Divide the mixture into four and shape into burgers. Reheat the frying pan used to cook the shallots until hot, and fry the burgers for 4-6 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. Remove from pan and set to rest in a warm place for 2-3 minutes.
For the onion rings and chips, heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fat fryer to 190C/375F. Sprinkle the flour and breadcrumbs on to separate plates. Whisk the egg in a bowl. Dredge the shallot rings in the flour, dip into the egg and coat in the breadcrumbs. Deep-fry the onion rings for 1-2 minutes, or until crisp and golden-brown. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on kitchen paper. Season with a little salt. Add the potatoes to the deep-fat fryer and fry for 34 minutes, or until goldenbrown and crisp. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside to drain on kitchen paper. Season with a little salt. Meanwhile, toast the burger buns, cut side-down, in a hot frying pan for one minute, or until hot. To serve, place the bottom of the buns on to serving plates, then top with some lettuce and tomato, a burger, a slice of mozzarella and some shallot rings. Cover with the top of the burger bun and pile some fries alongside. Serve with a piece of corn on the cob and a dollop of ketchup, then sit back and enjoy your chums enjoying your barbecue feast. It makes all that work so worthwhile!

Two-week sarnie that is still tasty WHO on earth would fancy eating a sandwich that’s a fortnight old - apart from a starving beggar, perhaps? Yet that’s the latest proposal by food scientists, and Wholesale Booker is about to test their theory that sarnies can actually stay fresh for that length of time - if the ingredients and “protective atmosphere” inside the packaging is right. The company will supply these stay-fresh sandwiches to convenience stores and corner shops for sale at just £1.49. They come in chicken tikka, ploughman’s and tuna mayonnaise, plus the traditional varieties of ham and cheese, chicken and bacon, and cheese and onion. The sandwiches are made with oatmeal bread, because it lasts a long time, and they will sell for the relatively low price of £1.49. The secret, say researchers, is to suck out the oxygen from the packaging and replace it with nitrogen and carbon dioxide. All fillings are mixed with a slightly-acidic mayonnaise, which acts as a preservative. But lettuce and tomatoes
are ruled out because they go soggy quickly. Ray Boggiano, a ‘food technologist’ who has been developing the sandwich for a year, says: “The product is as fresh on day 14 as it is on day one. “The secret to stopping the food going off is the process of gas flushing, in which oxygen in the packaging is replaced by CO2 and nitrogen.” He added: “The science is not new - it’s the same technology used in packaged sliced meats. We’ve tested them thoroughly and they are nice to eat.” Stay-fresh sarnies are already quite common in America and on the Continent, and Booker’s Steve Foxil said: “They are ideal to reduce retailers’ wastage.” But nutritionist Dr Carina Norris believes the long shelf life may come at the cost of nutritional value. She said: “People should be packing their sandwiches with as much salad as possible. Fresh is always best, and you should put the freshest possible ingredients in everything you eat.”
The big damper on those burnt barbecue offerings HERE’S a burning problem for barbecue lovers throughout Europe: stocks of charcoal are running low because of floods in south-west Africa.
But for those who love their burgers, it’s a question of getting them barbied as soon as possible - before rain stops play!
Half of the £100 million charcoal import from Namibia annually to Britain has been affected by the water. And even if suppliers succeed in drying out the charcoal, they are facing a battle to export it because many roads there have been washed away completely. Environmentalists will certainly welcome the news because charcoal from this region often comes from non-sustainable hard wood, which takes decades to regrow.

Tenerife, our Island of spectacular highs In the last of our travel series featuring the main Canary Islands, we focus on Tenerife. It is the largest island of the seven and the most commercial. MANY holiday-makers in Tenerife are convinced that the Island comprises Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas, plus their bars, nightclubs and beaches. Even many ex-pats have no idea that there is a world of beauty and vision far beyond these tourist hot-spots, and much of it accessible by bus or coach. The tourist industry is a major Tenerife sector, naturally, so the spotlight will always fall on these lively areas. But for genuine sightseers who want to spend their time here exploring and enjoying the wonderful sights, it really is an island of paradise, and all within touching distance. Take, for example, a trip up to Teide National Park, at the foot of Spain’s highest mountain. Think Planet of the Apes or Clash of Titans and you are immediately transported to an incredible scenario, so much loved by today’s film-makers. Over millions of years, Teide’s eruptions have added more and more land to the Island, although the terrain around the base of the mountain remains an incredible landscape of twisted rock and debris, which is always a sight for sore eyes for amazed, first-time viewers. It remains a must-see item on the agenda, with the snow-capped mountain in the winter overshadowing all. And if the roads aren’t blocked by huge snow drifts, there’s always a chance of a snowball fight - and pictures to prove it on your return home. A cable car takes you to the peak of Teide in about eight minutes, while hardier souls, complete with official permits, will spend three hours or so reaching the summit. And as they approach the final climb, there is a distinct smell of sulphur in the air. However you get there, though, the view is breathtaking (as is the climb) and unforget-

table. Another wonderful place of interest is the Island’s capital, Santa Cruz, in the lush, green north, which still retains the authentic feel and look of colonial Spain. This is real Tenerife, a vibrant city far removed from the tourist beats, where many natives live and work. There are many cultural places of interest to visit in the capital, including the redeveloped waterfront, with its diverse shopping area, magnificent arts and military museums, and the spectacular Church of Our Lady of the Conception, which is a significant, historical monument. A feature of the church is the tomb of Nelson’s opponent, General Gutierrez, whose troops not only kept Rear-Admiral Horatio at bay but left him with a shattered arm - a permanent reminder of his overwhelming defeat in the 1797 Battle of Santa Cruz. Only the most resolute of
tourists actually book holidays to Santa Cruz, where they can now travel on the much-vaunted tram to La Laguna, another sprawling, busy city of historical interest, with a thriving university. And setting aside history for the moment, if you have the children with you, there is no finer place to take them than the tropical, internationally-acclaimed wildlife centre Loro Parque, in Puerto de la Cruz. Apart from more than 300 species of parrots, there’s a dolphinarium, a sea-life centre and even a colony of gorillas, as well as 2,000-plus palm trees and tropical gardens. It was one of the original Tenerife attractions back in the Seventies and has grown beyond belief to become a huge focus of attention. Coming down from the north is the compact, eastern town of Candelaria, with its magnificent Basilica of Our Lady of Candelaria,
which is dedicated to the patron saint of the Canary Islands. The architecturally-beautiful church is wondrous to behold inside, where you can light candles, say prayers or merely gaze in awe at the splendour. It dominates the town and is guarded over in its sea-front square by giant statues, representing the Guanche chiefs who ruled the Island before the Spanish arrived. Further down the TF1 motorway, on the southeast corner, is the charming resort of El Medano. Following mile after mile of rocky coastline, it’s like an apparition with its beautiful sandy beach and coves, and a variety of café-bars running along the front. It’s also extremely windy there, for the most part, which is why one leg of the World Windsurfing Championships is being staged there from Thursday for a week. Moving on south are the
fishing villages of Los Abrigos and Las Galletas, both featuring café-bars galore, and revamped harbours, which have revitalised both areas in recent years. And there is an official fish market at Las Galletas, where you can buy fresh, daily catches. Heading away to the edge of the north-west area lies Los Gigantes, another harbour resort but with a spectacular difference. That’s because of its sheer rockface, climbing an incredible 600 metres above the Atlantic. Discounting the large fish swimming around the harbour between the moored boats in search of the bread thrown in daily by tourists, there’s really nothing to do there, except enjoy the regular, sightseeing boat excursions to see the whales and dolphins. But that rock-face, when seen from a boat especially, is no less than stunning and is hailed, quite rightly, as one
of the Island’s great wonders. So, that’s a gentle stroll through just a handful of the many attractions to keep you occupied in Tenerife, where the sun shines most days, even through the winter months, with occasional storms helping to put a green face on vegetation in the south. There are many other places of interest, so much so that there is barely space to mention Siam Park, the Island’s latest family attraction and rated Europe’s finest water park, with something for everyone. Oh yes, apart from providing a haven for professional boxers for warm-weather training, Tenerife is also a magnet for golfers in the winter, with seven quality courses in the south and two in the north. So if sightseeing is not on the agenda, but golf definitely is, then you’ve come to the right place!

ON THE ROAD WITH JAV Behind the Wheel Email: Jav@canarianweekly.com
Audi’s little dazzler is in the premier league! AUDI believe they have a found a gem after spotting a market segment in which they have not yet been involved. It is the Premium Compact Crossover sector, and they could make a big impact with their Q3 range, and especially with the 2.0TDI front-wheel-drive baby SUV model. Their only upmarket rivals are the BMW X1 and forthcoming Range Rover Evoque, because the Ford Kuga, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 are simply not posh enough. Audi already have a good base with their Q cars, and although the Q7 is really too large for UK roads, it doesn’t put off those who want to ‘own’ the road with a huge 4x4, while the more recent Q5 is a better bal-
ance. The quattro four-wheeldrive system is also wellestablished and is available on most of the Q3 range. But the biggest-selling model will be the cheapest, which is this 2.0TDI, at around £25,000. In true Audi style, there is a wealth of options that could well transform it into a very expensive car.
There’s sat-nav with Google Earth, active lane assist, self-parking, adaptive suspension - and that’s before all the interior upgrades. The decent performance and emissions are further helped by reasonably low weight. And if you need more performance, there’s a 170hp version as well, though that’s coupled to four-wheel drive and auto-
matic transmission, which adds £3,000 to the price. The Q3 is completely straightforward to drive, too, with an accurate, sixspeed manual gearbox and good visibility. Like the quattro versions, this front-wheel-drive Q3 comes with extra ground clearance, yet the additional height doesn’t have a noticeable effect on the
secure handling. In fact, for most of the time, you’d be hard-pushed to tell whether this was a two or four-wheel-drive car most of the time. The ride is good, and the standard 17inch alloys look the part. Rivals can measure up to the Q3 dynamically, but the Audi’s interior is in a class of its own and the quality is unsurpassed. The sweep of the dashboard is elegant and the switchgear is precise and nicely weighted. True, you’ll have to pay extra for lots of the extra goodies, but the basic equipment package is sound enough, with multi-function controls on the wheel, dual zone climate control and Bluetooth, with an iPod interface. Seats are cloth as standard, combining lots of adjustment in all directions with superior comfort. The interior space is remarkably
good, and will accommodate four adults in comfort. Luggage space is another surprise. The sill is very high, but the load area is deep enough to carry cases on their side, which is a rarity in crossovers. The capacity is almost 30% better than a Ford Kuga, for example. Without the weight of four-wheel drive to cart around, this version of the Q3 can be impressively economical. There’s start-stop as well, which helps in city driving The statutory combined figure for the manual 2.0 TDI is 54.2mpg, so reckon on somewhere the right side of 40mpg. CO2 is 138g/km, which again is a good figure in this market. Okay, it’s expensive if you get enthusiastic about the options, but you get what you pay for - and this baby Audi SUV has a genuine premium feel.
Ford’s new estate is Focus of attention THE ESTATE version of Ford’s new Focus looks like being another big seller, with 2,000 orders already confirmed. Mark Simpson, Ford Britain marketing director, says: “The all-new Ford Focus has been a big hit with UK customers looking online and visiting dealerships, and our attractive Focus estate completes the line-up for them. Its athletic looks give the car its own unique personality and should broaden its appeal.” It brings the same classleading levels of technologies as that of the five-door, with many of the features new to the mainstream, medium-car market. The estate is also available with the same choice of lowCO2 powertrain options. These include the 1.6-litre
08 July 2011 - 14 July 2011
TDCi 115PS engine, equipped with standard AutoStart-Stop with CO2 emissions starting at just 109g/km. The new Ford Focus range also has the state-of-the-art 1.6-litre Ford EcoBoost 150PS, turbo-charged, direct-injection petrol engine, which debuted on the C-MAX last year. This is one of a new generation of downsized, highefficiency, low-CO2 petrol engines which deliver the strong low-end torque and responsive performance of a large capacity engine, but with the size, weight and fuel economy of a much smaller unit. The estate, from £17,100 and available shortly, comes with over £1,000 of additional standard equipment, including Bluetooth and voice control, USB connection and aluminium roof rails.

Horoscopes of the week Cancer
(June 22nd-July 23rd) Choose your words carefully because what you consider to be a throw-away, funny comment could be extremely wounding to someone more sensitive. Maybe it’s time to lay your cards on the table and speak from the heart, even if it means you feel more vulnerable than usual. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Now that you’ve escaped from the glare of the spotlight, you’ll retreat to a quiet place to re-evaluate where you’re going, and what you want to achieve from now on. A close friend with smart ideas for long-term success will help you along your new path, but take your time. VIRGO (August 24thSeptember 23rd) Expect a loving vibe to wash over most of your week. Intimate relationships have moved to the next level and you couldn’t be happier. Others are kind, caring and compassionate, and you find yourself returning the favour. Your life is moving in the right direction now - and it is beginning to feel superb. LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) Although you start the week feeling a bit sensitive and selfprotective, it’s only because you’ve never been in such an open, honest frame of mind before, and don’t quite know how to handle it. Don’t make promises you can’t keep, or say anything you don’t mean. And remember to think before you speak. SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) Thinking of making
Page 48
travel plans soon? Got the time? Got the money? Getting away from it all could be your reward for knocking career plans into shape. Re-inventing yourself at work and play is the best thing you could do this week, so think of ways to have an overhaul or makeover. SAGITTARIUS (November 23rdDecember 21st) You’ve got such a forgiving nature, that if there have been recent spats on the domestic scene, you’ll be the one to wave the white flag and try to find a compromise, even if you not to blame. Joint resources have always been a bone of contention, so find a way that works for everyone. C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) The move of Venus brings a new way forward over relationships and friendships, and you’ll find life and love to be much more harmonious from here on in. Try to see things from a more longterm, long-lasting perspective, and don’t get so bogged down with any paltry, petty details. AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) If a partner or close friend has unrealistic expectations over a goal or scenario, it will be up to you to gently, but firmly remind them of their limitations. This could lead to friction in
the union, but it will pass when they realise you‘re trying to help, and they’ll be glad you kept them grounded. PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) Venus has joined Neptune, your ruling planet, and catapults love and romance into orbit. If you keep your feet on the ground, you can achieve anything, and hopes and dreams could turn from fantasy to reality. But go over the top and you’ll lose the thread. Keep it real. Stay focused. ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) There’s so much going on at work, home and socially that all you want to do is find a corner and retreat. But you know that is simply not an option. Financial plans may cost more than you think and stress levels will build, but try not to lash out or you’ll say something you might regret. TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) If you look for the best in people, even although there seems to be no redeeming features at first, you’ll eventually find something. Don’t allow domestic matters to get out of hand or they’ll prove more costly than you first thought. Use your new, creative thinking to find a solution. GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) You seem to be struggling with communications at work and at home, but don’t allow arrogance or overconfidence to make matters even worse. Be open and honest with partners and family and they’ll appreciate your candour, even if there are things they really don’t want to hear just now
