Troya’s Blue Flag puts beach in the pink again THE prestigious Blue Flag, awarded to the Troya beach in Playa de Las Americas earlier this year, was hoisted on Tuesday morning. Rafael Dolado, Adeje’s new Tourism Councillor, along with local businessmen, plus members of the Adeje Civil Protection, performed the Troya I and II ceremony to mark the start of the summer season. This award is given annually by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) - a non-government, non-profit organisation - to beaches offering high standards of facilities and services to residents and tourists alike, plus cleanliness of both coastal waters and surrounding areas. And the Troya beach, which offers sunbeds, pedal boats, pleasure craft and a host of watersports, also features regular lifeguards. It all added up to Las Americas retaining the Blue Flag for the third year running. In fact, Troya has received the Blue Flag award every year since 1997, barring 2008, which speaks volumes for the care and attention shown by everyone involved in keeping the beach in pristine condition. Three beaches lost their right to fly the flag this year - two up North, and Granadilla’s Leocadio Machado - while six other beaches, including those at El Medano, El Camison and Playa La Arena (Santiago del Teide), were given the nod again. This seal of approval by the FEE to these beaches
means so much to their respective Town Halls. That’s because Tenerife, always mindful of the tourist industry, regards holiday-makers as even more essential to the economy these days following the recession. It also means a lot to holiday-makers, who know they can sunbathe and swim to their hearts’ content, safe in the knowledge that their beaches have again been awarded the ultimate accolade. A delighted Councillor Dolado said: “It is a great pleasure to provide our residents and tourists with a quality beach such as Troya which, so far this summer, is attracting a high concentration of visitors who opt for our natural and recreational facilities.” The Foundation for Environmental Education’s purpose is to benefit the Island at international level, through environmental education and information, international programmes, such as Blue Flag, ecoschools, Young Reporters for the Environment, Forests and Green Key School (Green Key). Adeje’s other beaches, at Playa Fanabe, Playa del Duque and Puerto Colon, failed to win a Blue Flag this year. Fanabe flew one in 2009 and last year, Del Duque had one in 2003, while Puerto Colon was awarded one from 19911997 and from1999-2003. The Blue Flag is a voluntary eco-label awarded to over 3,650 beaches and marinas in 44 countries across Europe, South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia, New Zealand, Brazil, Canada and the Caribbean.

Older generation generates income THE senior tourism programme brought 100,000 tourists of 16 different nationalities to Spain in the medium and low seasons between October 2009 and June 2011. This pioneering project, aimed at people aged over 55 in the European Union, generated a 14% increase in overnight stays between 2010 and 2011. The pilot scheme in the Balearic Islands, Andalusia, the Canary Islands and the Region of Valencia created 1,690 jobs in the tourism sector. The Secretary-General for Tourism and Domestic Trade, Joan Mesquida, presented the data from the Europe Senior Tourism 2009-2011 pilot scheme; a programme that was launched in October 2009 by the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade in partnership with the autonomous regions of Valencia, the Balearic Islands, Andalusia and the Canary Islands and that was managed by the State-run company Segittur. Europe Senior Tourism is an international pioneering project aimed at the sale of partially subsidised holidays to Spain for EU residents over the age of 55 in the medium and low seasons of the year. The project was implemented in Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza, Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, the Costa del Sol and the Costa de la Luz. The programme was created to stimulate economic activity in the tourism industry outside of the summer season, in order to support active employment policies and contribute to building European citizenship and help an aging population remain active. It is a direct commitment to the de-seasonalisation of tourism activity and the fostering of employment through policies that have an effect on the labour market. According to the data from the report assessing the economic profitability generated by the programme, the pilot scheme produced
an estimated economic impact of 68.2 million euros in two years, of which 53.4 million euros were in Spain between October 2009 and June 2011. This result was obtained thanks to the almost 100,000 tourists from 16 different nationalities who visited Spain over the duration of one year and nine months, generating close to 800,000 overnight stays. There was a significant 14% increase in overnight stays in the 2010-2011 season, amounting to almost 425,000. The project received a total investment of 12.5 million euros at a national level, jointly financed by TurespaĂąa (50%) and the autonomous regions of Valencia, the Balearic Islands, Andalusia and the Canary Islands, while generating a surplus in the current account balance of 58.5 million euros. For each euro invested, the Spanish public authorities have recovered 1.3 euros. The results have easily enabled the investment to
22 July 2011 - 28 July 2011
be recovered through increased Social Security revenue, Corporate Income Tax, Personal Income Tax, VAT and the savings made on unemployment benefits. As regards employment, 1,690 jobs were created in the tourism sector in Spain and Europe over the course of the two years of the project, which ran from October 2009 to June 2011. Of those 1,690 jobs, 50% were created in the hotel and catering sector. The programme is also economically and socially profitable for the European authorities, which have seen positive benefits from the activity generated. The economic impact amounted to more than 14.8 million euros. It is also calculated that approximately 4 million euros of revenue have been obtained from the direct fiscal impact of the programme in the rest of the European Union. Furthermore, the commitment to the project at a European level within the
Calypso programme could represent an important boost to economic activity and growth in Europe by reducing seasonality in tourism activity, creating jobs and strengthening ties between European citizens. Therefore, work will continue with the European Commission on the development of the Calypso Preparation Action, which is aimed at fostering tourism for all through exchanges between Member States. Forecasts for the 20112012 season The results obtained during the pilot stage have led the Europe Senior Tourism programme to be extended for the next three years. The future project, with 93,750 places planned for the 2011-2012 season, will begin in October 2011 (with 46,875 places in Andalusia, the Balearic Islands and the Region of Valencia). Attempts will be made to expand the programme to more autonomous regions over the next three years (both
coastal and inland regions) and to different tourism products (such as culture, nature and health tourism, among others). The long-term challenge is to create a “Senior Erasmus� - a network of senior tourist exchanges - by actively involving the European Union institutions in the required financing. The objective for 2020 is to achieve 5 million European senior travellers. Degree of satisfaction According to the degree of satisfaction reflected in the survey and with an average 9 out of 10, these tourists consider the value for money of these trips (for which they receive a subsidy of between 100 and 150 euros) to be very high. Furthermore, 94.7% of participants expressed their wish to return, thus reflecting that the programme has achieved its objective of deseasonalising and promoting Spain in emerging markets. During the 2-year pilot stage, almost 100,000
tourists from 16 different nationalities visited Spain under this programme. 64% of these tourists came from emerging countries: Poland, Bulgaria, Rumania, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary. The remaining 34% came from Greece, Italy, Ireland and other countries. Of the 98,584 tourists, 67,875 visited Andalusia, 16,299 visited the Balearic Islands, 3,408 visited the Region of Valencia and 11,083 visited the Canary Islands. Average spending per traveller in the destination among the European senior tourists travelling under the programme amounted to 308.4 euros. Nine out of ten tourists opted for the one-week package, while the remaining 10% chose to stay for two weeks. More than 100 hotels from the four autonomous regions took part and the programme was commercialised by more than 80 tour operators and wholesale travel agencies in 16 European countries.

A WORD FROM OUR EDITOR
Reckless drivers Walls have ears will face prison
Email: editor@canarianweekly.com
THE PHONE hacking saga is still carrying on at a pace, but it has reached the point where for me personally it has become so boring that you want something else to happen in the world so that the story gets wiped off the tabloid front pages. Interestingly one newspaper referred to it as akin to ‘Watergate’, now the Watergate scandal was before my time, and you have to allow for the fact that modern technology has moved on in leaps and bounds, but, from reading the history of Watergate this phone hacking stuff is nothing new. The Watergate scandal took place in the 1970´s in the USA, it all began when a building - the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C. (hence the name) – was broken in to; it was the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. The political scandal was so bad that it forced the resignation of the President of the United States, Richard Nixon, on August 9, 1974, the only resignation of any U.S. President. Briefly the incident began with the arrest of five men for breaking and entering into the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate complex on June 17, 1972. “On the evening of June 17, 1972, Frank Wills, a security guard at the Watergate Complex, noticed tape covering the latch on locks on several doors in the complex (leaving the doors unlocked). He took off the tape, and thought nothing of it. An hour later, he discovered that someone had re-taped the locks. Wills called the police and five men were arrested inside the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) office.The five men were Virgilio González, Bernard Barker, James W. McCord, Jr.,
Page 04
Eugenio Martínez, and Frank Sturgis. The five were charged with attempted burglary and attempted interception of telephone and other communications. On September 15, a grand jury indicted them and two other men (E. Howard Hunt, Jr. and G. Gordon Liddy) for conspiracy, burglary, and violation of federal wiretapping laws.” (Source wikipedia) The FBI connected the payments to the burglars to a slush fund used by the 1972 Committee to Re-elect the President. On November 7th of the same year the President was re-elected in one of the biggest landslides ever in American political history. On this occasion the US media played up the connection of the break in and the re-election campaign of Nixon. In particular, investigative coverage by Time, The New York Times, and especially The Washington Post, created more interest. The coverage dramatically increased publicity and consequent political repercussions. The Watergate Scandal makes quite an interesting read and has too many twists and turns to document here, but worth 30 minutes of google reading. All these people should have taken heed from the 16th century phrase ‘Walls Have Ears’ which was again widely used during the Second World War, or more recently ‘lose talk costs lives’. Even more so today, as a comment can be flashed around the world in nano seconds, nothing is precious anymore. Remember, walls have ears! Until next week.
SPAIN’S prosecution service has announced that any drivers who cause death or serious injury will initially be charged with negligent homicide – an offence which can lead to between one and four years in jail.
This effectively means that in the event of a car crash, the driver found to be at fault under Spain’s road traffic act – and inevitably, there will always be one driver who falls into this category – may face jail where one or more people are either killed or suffer life-threatening wounds. However, in reality this scenario is likely to be where the cause of the accident is due to one or more of five faults on the part of the driver: travelling at more than 150 kilometres per
hour (approximately 94 miles per hour); using a mobile telephone whilst at the wheel; driving too close to another vehicle; being over the permitted limit for alcohol consumption, or not taking at least the minimum number of breaks to avoid tiredness – usually recommended to be at least one every two hours, Serious injuries are defined as spinal cord or brain damage, or severe multiple bruising including broken bones, particularly where this leads to internal dam-
age. Such injuries could lead to sentences of between three months and three years in jail. Prosecutors say the number of speed-related offences has fallen by 48 per cent since 2010, although this is largely due to greater difficulties on the part of the police in detecting them and also the number of drivers who have satellite navigation systems that warn them when they are approaching speedcameras.

Tenerife Lan Party opens its doors to visitors THE INTERNATIONAL Exhibition and Conference centre in Santa Cruz has welcomed the opening ceremony of the sixth edition of Tenerife Lan Party, an event that is expected to attract thousands of fans of video games, comics, Manga, Rol and new technologies. The sixth edition of the Tenerife Lan Party opened its doors on Wednesday following 1184 participants enrolling in unison by starting their computer screens, which launched what is considered as the biggest new technology festival in the Canaries. The event organised by Innova 7 with the collaboration of the Cabildo de Tenerife.will be open to the public until Sunday. Innova 7 representative, Antonio Cabrera, explained at
the opening ceremony of the Tenerife Lan Party festival that it has four thematic areas connected to the world of new technology: 3D World, dedicated to digital arts, Salon Manga, focused on the world of Japanese comics and Japanese culture, Innova TPL (TPL + i), dedicated to professional ICT and interactive entertainment, and Gaming Zone, where there are competitions of the event’s official video game. This sixth edition has also tried to promote the event with the professional organization of more than fifty conferences and workshops on various themes such as language promotion, free software, game creation and animation, photography, social networking, web development and mobile applications, among others. In fact, according to the representative of Innova 7, it provides eleven hours a day of conferences during the five days it will last. The Minister of Finance, Victor Perez Borrego, pointed out that the main challenge
of the Tenerife Cabildo and the Lan Party is to “enrich the range of complementary courses, workshops and conferences, which this year again have a extraordinary wealth of worthy speakers. “ Speakers include renowned names such as David Luong, Ricard Pillosu and Pablo Hoyos. A better broadband connection Attendees to Tenerife Lan Party may enjoy greater broadband connections to Internet access available in the Canaries, as well as other initiatives related to new technologies. The Festival has an official website: www.tenerife-lanparty.com, where the public can access all information related to this fair. Tenerife Lan Party has a reserved area for participants to network stations for computers, and a lounge area and playground, among others. Another of the most visited places in each edition is the Hall of Manga, which comes into the culture of comics, traditionally associated with video games since the beginning of the computer entertainment industry.
The professional area, called TLP Innova, represents the more formal side of the event. It consists of four classrooms equipped with computer stations, one with teams dedicated to 3D design workshops, an area for seminars, a conference room, business advisory space and exhibition stands of partner companies. TLP has also been divided into thematic areas to make it easier to organize people attending the event, such as 3D worlds, Developers, Social Media and Digital Culture and Innovation in businesses. President of the Tenerife Cabildo, Ricardo Melchior, was responsible for the opening ceremony of Tenerife Lan Party saying that this festival is “one of the most important in Spain” where they make visible some of the latest technologies that allow us to be more competitive. “ Finally, Ricardo Melchior stressed the number of participants enrolled in the sixth edition of Tenerife Lan Party (1184), which shows “hope, future and work for our people and, above all, introduce increases knowledge within our society.“
German hiker falls in Arona EMERGENCY services in Los Cristianos had to work together to rescue a hiker who had suffered a bad fall. A 51 year old German tourist suffered minor wounds after a fall when hiking out with his son in the coastal town of Arona. The incident took place around 14:00 hours on the southwest slopes of the Guaza Mountain, near Los Cristianos, according to the
Coordinating Center for Emergency and Safety (CECOES) of the Canarian Government. The son of the victim first reported the incident to the resort where they were residing; they in turn reported the accident to the emergency services. Two fire crews were rallied to rescue the German citizen from the ravine where he laid using ropes and a stretcher. He was admitted to hospital but the injuries were thought not to be life threatening.

Windmills will generate light in Candelaria THE MAYOR of Candelaria, José Gumersindo Garcia and Councillor of Works, Ramon Gil, met with wind turbine manufacturers to discuss the possibility of installing this technology in the lighting of the town. The meeting was with representatives of local businesses and technology manufacturers - Italian, American and from Finland. Garcia Trujillo said that the council is committed to clean energy, which is why for months they have been working on preliminary studies to see the needs and initiate the necessary procedures. “The advantages of wind turbines,
wind-powered, are energy savings, less pollution, and the opening of a new niche market that will create new jobs,” the mayor of Candelaria said. In addition, this measure will give economic benefits to the area, and cheaper costs of electricity paid by Endesa for street lighting. In April, the Ministry of Industry published a draft
decree, pending approval, which affects the sector and which regulates mini-generators 1 to 100 kw. Ramon Gil says this system is based on small wind energy turbines consisting of the latest generation of smaller dimensions that reduce the environmental impact, regardless of wind direction.
Spanish Police seize £22m in Madrid ‘drug gang’ bust A RECORD 25m euros (£22m) in cash has been seized by Spanish police during a simultaneous raid in Spain and the US over a moneylaundering scam. “It is the largest single amount of cash seized in Europe from drug trafficking,” police boss Jose Luis Olivera said at a news conference. Seventeen people were held in and around Madrid and four in Miami, Florida, in an operation conducted with the FBI. One of those held in the US, Alvaro Lopez Tardon, a Spaniard, is the “brains” behind the group, Mr Olivera said. His brother, Artemio, was
arrested in Madrid and it was at his home that the cash was found, under the living room floor. “We have broken up the organisation and cut off their operations,” said the officer in charge of the operation, Jose Luis Gudina. The operation, codenamed Azalea after the name of the street where Artemio lived, has been ongoing for two years, during which police investigated “all the businesses and their proxies” used by the gang to move their money. The group was involved in laundering money from drug trafficking from Colombia through a network of companies principally engaged in export-import, often involv-
ing luxury cars, and with accounts in tax havens. Police also seized 21 properties in Madrid and four in Miami worth a total of 75m euros (£47m), as well as 60 cars, jewellery, watches, gold, and five guns. A police statement described it as the “biggest network in Europe involved in laundering money from drug trafficking”. All those held are accused of money laundering and drug trafficking. Spain’s closeness to north Africa, a key source of marijuana, and its close ties with its former colonies in Latin America, a major cocaine-producing region, have made it a major gateway into Europe for drug traffickers.

A desalination plant will provide water to 36,700 local people A SEAWATER desalination plant will supply 36,750 people in the South of Tenerife, in particular the municipalities of Granadilla (where this facility will be located), San Miguel de Abona, eastern and western Arico - Arona with a daily production of water. The objective of this initiative is to improve the quality of water supply in the region of Guaza. The plant, located in the ravine The Cobón (landscape known as The Tarajales) next to Granadilla power plant, will capture water from six wells 55 meters deep and initially pass 17,100 meters cubic of sea water through 320 meters,
of which 130 metre shall be under the sea. Pipes for this desalination will be buried right by the edge of the cliff, go to the TF1 Highway South, feed through to buffer pools Circle of Granadilla, as well as a future supply tank in Arico and other header tanks to then distribute water into Arona. The environmental impact study of this project, developed by engineer Javier Martinez Garcia, concludes that its environmental impact will be insignificant. In a second phase, the plant will be expanded to produce 25,600 cubic meters, but has reserved land for future expansion that would allow desalination of 42,000 cubic meters, depending on the increasing demand in the future. The project is scheduled for a plot of 18,000 square
meters, also includes the construction of a reinforced concrete tank to store 7,000 cubic meters of
water. Header tanks shall be located on rural land to protect natural environment.
More than 34,000 Police jobs to go MORE than 34,000 police jobs will be lost as part of Government cuts. Around 16,200 police officers will be lost by 2015, giving rise to fears crime could go up by 3%, a report by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary said. Among police staff, 16,100 will lose their jobs, and 1,800 community support officers will also form part of the overall reduction of 14%. The figures came from the inspectors’ survey of 43 forces across England and
Wales. Protecting policing will be “very challenging”, the report said, adding: “Forces will have to transform their efficiency if they are to protect frontline services.” HMIC chief Sir Denis O’Connor said: “The police service must adapt to these changing times in order to deliver the best deal for taxpayers and they will need some support to do this.” Roger Baker, of HMIC, added that it “went without saying” that forces were facing their biggest financial challenge in a generation.

Redistribution of Arona cost savings THE NEED to contain spending in times of crisis is one of the main measures already implemented by the new council of the Municipality of Arona in their austerity plan that has been designed, which affects the entire municipal organisation. The government spokesperson, Antonio Sosa says that the money saved “we will
devote to the rehabilitation of housing for people most in need, to have a decent home.” Another part of this provision “will serve to alleviate the needs of those residents with less economic means” and in need of such municipal aid, said the councillor. The cuts already implemented, commented the local government spokesman are estimated at “around 300,000 euros per year.” Thus, Sosa explained that this amount is achieved by “freezing” of salaries and the substantial reduction in posi-
tions, which reaches 70 percent. The austerity measures include cost reduction in protocol, running costs, savings, as well as optimisation of resources between the various municipal boards, says the mayor of Arona. “In addition, we focus on greater efficiency and effectiveness in public service contracts.” For example “get a better price and reduce expenses for publications and announcements, so consequently it generates significant savings.”

Surprise bills can hit you if you are living in the UK WITH the economic crisis, it is no secret that the Hacienda has been on overdrive to ensure that revenues are collected on behalf of the Spanish and Canarian Governments. Something you may or may not be aware of is that if you reside on the islands for part of the year only, you are still required to act upon official correspondence within restricted time frames, even when you are not here! If you are sent legal papers, Hacienda correspondence or fines from the Guardia Civil and other authorities, you must, by law, respond to these notices within a certain time. That’s something you are highly unlikely to do when you are overseas and totally unaware that you have urgent mail sitting in your letterbox. The amount of ex-pats and residents who arrive on the Island to find bank accounts embargoed, denuncias
against their property, vehicles or boats and other assets, is rising. And this situation will continue at an emphatic pace because the Hacienda is now able to call upon property owners who have bought property in the last four years to prove the value of the property at the time of purchase. Failure to do so can result in a tax bill and a fine for non-response, and it has been known for current and savings accounts to be frozen automatically if tax returns aren’t provided within deadlines. People may also have noticed a more relaxed approach from the Guardia Civil with respect to VCPs (Vehicle check points). This is because of the number of cameras and speed traps being introduced. Sometimes, as a result of delays with the Guardia’s administration, the fines won’t arrive until after people have left the island. So on their return, they are presented with an unpleasant surprise. Dealing with denuncias and embargoes is inconvenient and irritating and, for those
of you who have experienced them, you will know that your pleas of innocence fall on deaf ears! This can now be avoided. Anyone who is liable to fill in a tax return here in the Canaries can now enjoy a mailbox facility and legal representation in their absence, provided by Tenerife Legal Services at the Capecan Business Centre. Capecan Business Centre will receive your mail, and Tenerife Legal Services will ensure that urgent and legal responsibilities are communicated to you immediately. Tenerife Legal Services will also act on your behalf if so instructed by you, giving you peace of mind in your absence.

Farmers reap their rewards
Grandparents turning back the hands of time AT least half of the over-65s in Spain have to care for their grandchildren because the financial crisis has forced both parents to work long hours. That’s because they simply cannot afford childcare. But far from grandparents feeling as though they have been put upon, they say it is a “true pleasure” to do so.
The Ministry of Health, which has conducted a survey of old folk, says that some 4.5 million women (10%) are over the State retirement age, with half of them widowed. The average monthly retirement pension is 914 euros, with widows’ or widowers’ pensions standing at 586 euros.

birds, 64 reptiles and 62 mammals. Many of the birds were predatory (312), followed by sea birds (108), water (26) and ground (144). There were also 63 sea turtles, a Canary Island lizard and other mammals, such as Algerian hedgehogs, bats, rabbits and shrews. The council staff also attended 16 varieties of “local” whales, belonging to nine species. Analupe Mora, Minister of Land and Water Sustainability, stressed the need to make known “the important work being done at the centre”. The Minister also appealed to the sensitivity of the population on an issue vital to
Tenerife’s environment: the attention and care of our wildlife. A greater number of species enter the centre in May, June and July, the reasons for admission varying from vehicle crashes, power lines and windows. In the case of birds and fish, it is the hooks and nets which trap them, while turtles are caught by the wings and neck. As for the whales, three died possibly from being separated from their mothers, and three others in collisions with boats. On the other hand, 2010 saw the highest number of Cory’s Shearwater seabirds collected in the centre’s his-
tory, with a total of 1,768 species. Of these, 1,696 were released and 70 have died. This season, 220 birds have been clipped - 72 kestrels, 37 owls and 20 petrels. The strengthening of veterinary care at the centre last year has been apparent and, in addition to getting an accurate overview of income, a protocol has been established defining clinical species by charting. Staff divide care between animals picked up by citizens, public entities, diving clubs, fishermen, marinas and pleasure craft entering the centre, and species collected during the course of particular campaigns.

Loro Parque opens a colourful new aviary LORO PARQUE has opened a new aviary for macaws to celebrate the International Year of Forests, and as a tribute to the inhabitants of the South American jungles. The huge aviary is filled with lush vegetation and typifies the humid American jungle, in which various species of colourful macaws provide a real eye-opener for adults and children with their bright colours. Scarlet macaws, Military, Blue-throated and Greenwinged macaws, Sun conures and Green-cheeked amazons, as well as others, are all starring in this technicolour, manmade jungle. It is a genuine wonder to behold, with its mysterious, tropical atmosphere of rain forest and humidity, next to a
waterfall, and is already captivating visitors. Macaws belong to the parrot family (Psittacidae) from America, and the new aviary in the Puerto de la Cruzbased major tourist attraction houses no fewer than eight species - six of them endangered. Normally, they live in the jungles from Mexico to the north-east of Argentina, and they eat nuts, fruits and seeds while they live in trees. But through rampant deforestation of this area, combined with fires, poaching and smuggling because of their valuable plumage, many of these species are on the verge of extinction. This applies especially to the Blue-throated macaw in Bolivia, for which Loro Parque Fundación has a specific conservation project, in which it has invested more than 632.000 euros to preserve and maintain the species.
London’s Olympic Games site will offer major chance for top Spanish investment
Candelaria to get 18m-euro facelift PLANS are being drafted for an 18-millioneuro major renovation of Candelaria’s Basilica and the surrounding area, which has been damaged severely by bad weather and strong tides. The Cabildo, in conjunction with the Provincial Coastal Dept, has put forward a redevelopment project for the San Blas walkway. Tenerife Planning Minister María del Pino de Leon last week presided over a workshop, which included Carlos Gonzalez, chief engineer of the Coasts of Tenerife, José Gumersindo Garcia, Mayor of
Page 10
Candelaria, and the director of coastal roads, Ofelia Manjón. And the Planning Minister stressed that the walkway should be repaired urgently because of current safety issues The improvements will be spread over an area of 46,600sqm, covering the main square and its surroundings, San Blas (including access to the cave and chapel), and the Tapia ravine. Architects Cesar RuizLarrea and Eustaquio Martinez, who were awarded the project, are now drafting final plans for the first two phases of work, which embrace the Basilica square and the surrounding ravine area of Tapia.
WITH one year to go before the start of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, on 27th July, London is now ready to stage the “Greatest Show on Earth”. Imaginative planning, design and construction by leading British companies have resulted in the completion of world-class Olympic facilities, with environmental and economic benefits which will transform the east of London in the next decade. The legacy of the 2012 Games will create major opportunities for Spanish and other foreign companies to invest in one of the world’s true global cities. Britain wants to ATTRACT overseas companies to expand and set-up new business, creating jobs and prosperity for the UK economy. London 2012 has launched “London Prepares”, a major test programmed to the now-
finished Olympic facilities over coming months. More than 40 world-class events - including volleyball, cycling, sailing, rowing and canoeing - will bring top athletes to experience the new Olympic venues and existing sports locations. At an event in Madrid on Wednesday, hosted jointly by the Spanish Olympic Committee and the British Embassy, Giles Paxman, HM Ambassador to Spain, said: “Britain is a country that delivers what it promises. A year ahead of the Games, London is ready. “We look forward to Spain’s elite athletes inviting and welcoming Spanish companies to see for themselves the transformation of East London, and the investment opportunities which are being created.” He added: “These Games will deliver an impressive, triple legacy of world-class sporting facilities, major environmental improvements and economic opportunities so huge that, like Barcelona in 1992, it will transform the city and
attract huge investment in the decade ahead.” With one year to go, the main facilities of the Olympic Park are all finished, including the Olympic Stadium, Velodrome, Basketball Arena, Aquatics Centre and Athletes’ Village. FCC Construction of Spain is fitting out the International Broadcast and Media Centre which will house 20.000 journalists during the Games. Afterwards, the centre will undergo a major conversion, offering 80,000sqm of highquality business space. Major transport improvements, which will keep London moving during the Games, have been completed, including Stratford railway station as the main gateway to the Olympic Park. Ten rail routes serve the station, transforming a poorly-served area into one of the best-connected parts of the capital. The strong emphasis on sustainability London has put on the Olympics means it will deliver a major environmental
legacy. After the Games, the Olympic Park will become one of London’s most important regeneration projects for the next 25 years, and a catalyst for the transformation of East London. It will have five world-class sports venues, 2,800 new homes in September, built around waterways and open spaces, modern utilities and communications’ infrastructure networks, greatlyimproved transport connections, and Europe’s largest indoor shopping centre. Nearby Tech City is already home to one of the largest digital concentrations of fastgrowing technology companies in Europe, up from 15 in 2008 to over 300 firms today. Ambassador Paxman said: “The Olympic Park and surrounding areas offer enormous potential for Spanish and other international companies to invest - regenerating the area and building new business in what will soon be one of the most modern, vibrant areas of Britain.”

Live Arico Update Upcoming events … Next Saturday (30th July), we will be at the Top Square on Golf del Sur with a variety of acts, including Jo Cassidy, Robbie Dominic, Aidy Evans, Jan Munroe, Colin Stevens and more to be confirmed. Many prizes on the raffle so come and join us. We will be having a fun afternoon at Our Place, Costa del Silencio, on Sunday, 14th August. Watch this space. Then, on Friday, 26th August, we will be back at Restaurant Maria, Golf del Sur, for an end-of-summer BBQ and salad buffet. Details to follow. Finally, on 13th September, we will be at the Oasis Pool Bar, Fairway Village, Golf del Sur. More info to follow. Our top-secret event is now looking to be in September as well, and it will be worth the wait! Revised adoption procedures Following some confusion, we are clarifying the situation. Our policy is to ask for a minimum 70-euro dona-
tion for an adopted dog, which is paid direct to Hospivet Sur on collection of your new pet, which will be chipped, vaccinated with anti-rabies and V7 vaccine, and issued with a passport. From this sum, a small proportion is used to reduce our debt with Hospivet. If your pet has already been vaccinated, or chipped, we still charge the full amount, which means a larger sum is paid off our account. This is in line with other refuges, who charge an adoption fee. Hospivet also offer flea and worm treatments from 11 euros for a month’s cover of Advocate, and will discuss neutering and spaying options with you. We highly recommend this surgery, whose staff work tirelessly for Live Arico at hugely-discounted rates, and we cannot praise their dedication to our animals enough. Home-made treats Treat your pooch to lovely, home-made snacks from Kimbos Pupcakes. They are made with natural ingredients and include such items

MARIANO E ZUNINO SIRI Understanding the Law Email: marianozunino@canarianweekly.com
Taxation! Tourism law! Traffic law! WE ALWAYS receive queries about various legal matters, and the first one, regarding rented-out property, is really interesting. Over the years, clients have asked me whether it is legal for them to rent out a property if they are not registered in the Canary Tourist Council. We must not be confused between a civil law matter (long-term or short-term letting agreement) regulated by the Rental Agreements Law or Civil Code, and the administrative law matter (authorisation to operate in tourism activity, including tourist rental agreements), which is regulated by the Autonomic Law. The query, from Monika, is: I am reading that a lot of
Page 12
inspectors are clamping down on illegal renting of residential properties. And even if you pay tax on the income, it is still illegal. The Tenerife Forum is full of stories about a person being fined 18,000 euros on Dinastia, in Los Cristianos, after being visited by inspectors. I have a place in a residential complex, and I bought it because I did not like the thought of people moving in and out every two weeks. Can you provide any information? It is not illegal to rent out residential properties. Every owner has the right to rent his/her own residential property, according to the Rental Agreement Law (Ley de Arrendamientos Urbanos) or Civil Code (Código Civil). Included within the Civil Code system are tourist activities, in which the rules are regulated by the Canary Law of Tourism. This law
affects the tourist aspects of the service rendered only. You mention that someone has been “inspected” and fined 18,000 euros, but you do not specify what kind of
inspectors they are. I assume they would be from the Canary Tourism Council, which has fined people for an activity in breach of Tourism Law. If you have
a long-term rental (not tourist activity), there would be no problem with such inspectors. In any case, all rental contracts must be included in the return tax (Impuesto a la Renta) every year, whether or not you are resident or non-resident. Bear in mind that the difference between “residential complex” and “tourist complex” is an Administrative matter, which means the Canary Tourism Council is the authority which gives permission for developments to operate in tourism activity (if the complex matches the regulations of Tourism Law). According to the Tourism Law, there should be one company only allowed to deal with tourist rental agreements in every complex, which means that no individual can deal directly with tourist rental agreements, and if so, the owner
could be fined). However, these owners can deal with rental agreements according to the Letting Contract Law or Civil Code. It would be very difficult to summarise all these queries and regulations in few lines, so I will return to this topic in future articles. Another interesting question was sent by Cindy, who asked: I have been told that it is now law that every car must carry a fire extinguisher. Is this true please? As far as I understand, only vehicles which transport people (public services) or goods must have a fire extinguisher on board.

Nurse held after four tragic hospital deaths
AS WE GO to print a fifth patient linked to contaminated saline solutions at Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport has died. A nurse held on suspicion of murdering patients at a hospital in Stockport has been named as Rebecca Leighton. The 27 year old was arrested at her home in Heaviley, Stockport, Greater Manchester, at 6am on Wednesday. Crime scene investigators are at the scene of the suspect’s flat, about a mile from Stepping Hill Hospital where saline containers had been contaminated with insulin. It comes amid intense police activity at the hospital where staff had been ordered to work in pairs since the discovery. All drugs are being doublechecked and security guards have been monitoring access to medicines. Detectives had indicated their investigations were focused on the hospital itself following the discovery that several patients had abnormally low blood sugar levels. An investigation was launched and insulin was found in a batch of 36 saline ampoules in a storeroom
close to ward A1 of the hospital. Detectives believe the insulin was deliberately injected into the saline containers which were used in drips by at least two wards. George Keep, 84, Arnold Lancaster, 71, and 44-year-old mother-of-two Tracey Arden are believed to be victims of the tampered medicine. The fifth victim has not yet been named. The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) confirmed that Ms Leighton has been arrested. NMC chief executive Professor Dickon Weir-Hugh said: “We have commenced fitness to practise proceedings with a view to suspending her from the register as quickly as possible.” The arrest came as news broke that another damaged saline solution was found on a maternity ward in the hospital. But Greater Manchester Police said tests have shown it was not contaminated and that no mothers-to-be or babies were affected. Former Stepping Hill Hospital health worker Gillian Smart told Sky News: “I thought security in there was quite tight.” She added: “Saline is fairly
accessible but insulin isn’t. It is a controlled drug and it is normally kept locked up. “I have also worked in a nursing home and you have to witness other staff measuring out the dose and sign it. You have to witness it being administered to the patient as well.” Police inquiries have targeted deaths at the hospital from early July, but they say the local coroner will be reviewing deaths at the hospital before then. Chris Burke, chief executive of Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, said on Wednesday that security had been ramped up at the hospital. He added there are now daily review meetings between senior police and NHS bosses. “Our staff are shocked, horrified and angry at what’s happened. They are alarmed that a place that should be for care has become a crime scene,” Mr Burke said. “This is a criminal act, perpetrated by someone with malicious intent. We do not believe it could have been anticipated. “This is about someone wanting to inflict harm, pain and, possibly further, as a deliberate malicious act. That is nothing to do with care.”
A 20-minute nap can recharge batteries WE’D all love to put our feet up for an hour two during a workday to recharge the batteries, especially with current temperatures soaring. But according to a NASA study, the ideal siesta should be exactly 26 minutes, and this data was used recently by the US National Transportation Safety Board to reinforce its recommendation for air-traffic controllers’ controlled naps. The NTSB
Page 14
said it would improve performance by 34% and alertness by 54%. News agency Europa Press listed some of the benefits of a short nap as fewer cardiovascular risk factors, less tension, better concentration and a higher degree of alertness. It quoted 2007 research, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine journal, which showed the siesta to be one of the best recipes for preventing cardiac problems. This was backed up by Dr Gonzalo Pin Arboleda, from Valencia’s Hospital Quirón sleep unit, who says a short
siesta helps the human body to withstand the day better. He said it could be beneficial for adults, but is essential for children and older people. Under-fives, he added, need a doze for their physical and neurological development. Meanwhile, Dr Pedro Mayor, from Madrid’s Ruber Hospital, recommends a siesta because it helps relax the muscles and assists in a more efficient digestion after eating. He maintained that too long a nap could actually alter our sleep cycle, and that it should span no more than 20 minutes.

Prince Andrew to step down as Trade Envoy PRINCE ANDREW will step down from his role as Britain’s Trade Envoy, according to sources. Sky News Royal correspondent Paul Harrison said: “Sky sources say that the Duke feels the role has run its course and is no longer necessary.” He went on to say that the Duke would continue to work in a less formal role to promote UK trade. There is currently no statement from Buckingham Palace confirming the decision, although one is expected later today. Prince Andrew developed the title of Special Representative after he took over the role from the Duke of Kent following his retirement from the Royal Navy. In recent years the Duke came under criticism as Trade Envoy for his lavish jet set lifestyle, earning him the nickname “Air Miles Andy”. Earlier this year he came under pressure over his
friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the American billionaire who was convicted of paedophilia in 2008. Further doubts were raised about Andrew’s position after he entertained the sonin-law of ousted Tunisian president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali at Buckingham Palace. Prince Andrew also held a meeting with Libya’s embattled leader Colonel Gaddafi while on a private visit to Tunisia in 2008. But as the criticism mounted in March, he received the support of Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor George Osborne.
British Taliban suspects caught by British army BRITISH ARMED Forces have arrested two UK nationals in Afghanistan suspected of fighting for the Taliban, the Ministry of Defence has said. The Foreign Office has also confirmed two Britons were detained in the country. It is understood the suspects have British passports but are dual nationals. Afghan officials said the pair was detained at a hotel in Herat, a major city close to the border with Iran. There has been speculation they were involved in some sort of plot that was considered a threat to UK security, not a threat to Afghan security. The suspects are being held at Britain’s Camp Bastion, the main logistics base in Helmand. Afghan officials also said British forces asked for Afghan support to carry out the arrests. Normally, when
British forces in Helmand detain Afghans during an operation, they have 96 hours to either release those people or hand them over to Afghan authorities. It is understood the two suspects have been held for longer than 96 hours. A Foreign Office official said they had agreed to an extension with the Afghan authori-
ties, but refused to say for how long that was for. The news comes after British troops handed over control of Lashkar Gah to Afghan security forces. The city is the capital of Helmand province - where most of the 10,000 British soldiers stationed in Afghanistan are based - and has long been a hotbed of insurgent activity.
The transition of security responsibility to the Afghan army and police is seen as a key milestone on the road to a planned end to British involvement in combat operations by 2015. Also earlier this week a British soldier was killed in Helmand, with the suggestion he was shot by a man in an Afghan army uniform.
Badgers to be culled to curb TB in cattle BADGERS are to be shot as part of controversial plans to control the growing problem of TB on farms. Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman said the policy would be piloted in two undisclosed locations. If the trials showed badgers can be killed effectively and humanely, she was “strongly minded” to roll out the strategy to other disease hotspots. The RSPCA said it was a “black day for badgers”. Rates of tuberculosis in cattle have doubled in less than a decade. Last year 25,000 infected animals were put down and compensation for farmers cost taxpayers £63m. According to Government scientists, a “co-ordinated
Page 16
and sustained” badger cull would reduce TB rates on farms by 12-16%. But they admit the figure is based on a study in which animals were first trapped and then shot. The precise effect of shooting free-running badgers is unknown but is likely to be similar, they argue. It’s increasing. It’s causing not only financial damage to businesses and putting a lot of emotional pressure on the families and staff working on livestock farms. “Having considered the evidence I believe this is the right way forward,” Mrs Spelman said. “Cattle controls alone are not working. We can not go on like this. Many farmers are desperate and feel unable to control the disease in their herds. “We know that unless we tackle the disease in badgers
we will never be able to eradicate it in cattle.” Under the plans farmers would group together to hire a licensed marksman to shoot badgers on their land for a period of six weeks a year, for four years. Each killing zone would cover an area of at least 58 square miles, with between 1000 and 1500 badgers being shot over the period of the cull. Natural England will oversee the culls and ensure only 70% of badgers in the area are killed. The RSPCA argues vaccination of badgers and stricter controls of cattle movements would be more effective ways of eradicating TB in cattle for good. Colin Booty, a senior scientist for the charity, said: “This cull will contribute little or nothing to the long-term goal of eradicating TB nationally.
“Instead it will wipe out huge numbers of this much-loved species, including many animals which are healthy.” The Badger Trust warned injured animals could die in pain if they bolt for cover, and other animals could flee. Jack Reedy of the Trust said: “It could make the disruption more likely because of the loud bangs, scaring badgers out of their normal habits. “If you destabilise their social arrangements you run the great risk of spreading the disease, if they have it.” The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is consulting on its final strategy for TB control. Wildlife groups argue badgers should be injected with a TB vaccine, but ministers say the jab would be too expensive and impractical. A vaccine for cattle is still several years away.

Eurozone leaders meet for crucial talks about debts
EUROZONE leaders met yesterday (Thursday) for an emergency summit to thrash out a solution to the Greek debt crisis that threatens to bring down the euro. The 17 leaders of the eurozone countries have been urged to “do what it takes” to salvage the single currency after a torrid few weeks on the markets. If they conclude that Greece will have to default on some of its debts, analysts warn that Britain will feel the impact. UK banks could lose an estimated £2.5bn invested in Greek government bonds, while Britain may face higher rates of interest on its own national debt as investor confidence in EU financial security is eroded. Earlier, France and Germany agreed on a common strategy for tackling the problem, which is thought to involve the participation of the banking sector. However, eurozone sources said a proposed
banking sector tax had been dropped from the deal. The president of the European Commission has warned all eurozone leaders they must find a way forward. EC president Jose Manuel Barroso said leaders should not be under any “illusion” and warned a failed response will have “negative consequences which will be felt in all corners of Europe and beyond”. The warnings of a doomsday scenario are creating a great deal of expectation that a solution for the debt crisis may finally be in reach. But German Chancellor Angela Merkel, leader of the Europe’s largest economy, has warned that people should not expect miracles. “If you want to act responsibly you know that such a spectacular step will not happen, including on Thursday,” she said. Politicians must decide how much EMU (European Monetary Union) is worth and whether they are committed to saving it and Thursday’s emergency summit could prove to be a make or break opportunity, not only for EMU, but also for the euro.
22 July 2011 - 28 July 2011
Eurozone leaders need to find a solution to Greece’s troubles, which includes how a second bailout will be arranged and, more importantly, who will pay for it. There has been resistance to a taxpayer-only loan in Germany, the Netherlands and Finland, where leaders argue that investors should also shoulder the burden. It is a position which has spooked the markets as no one really knows how big the hit will be and whether it sets a precedent for other European countries facing economic trouble. Markets around the world are now demanding firm action, but it is not clear if Europe’s leaders are capable of achieving that. Benedicta Marzinotto, an economist for Brusselsbased think tank Bruegel, told Sky News any agreement will not be straightforward. She said national interests have turned an economic problem into a political crisis for the European Union. “The decisive action that the markets would react well to would be the creation of Eurobonds which is unlikely to be discussed, let alone agreed on, as taxpayers in wealthier European
countries are unlikely to want to pay for their poorer neighbours in other parts of Europe,” she said. He added: “What is dangerous about this situation is that there seems to be a real absence of political leadership amongst the eurozone countries and we stand to lose from that as much as the countries that are inside the euro area.” However, former IMF executive director Onno de Beaufort Wijnholds said there may be ways out of a default. The crisis has taken on a frightening new dimension over the past few days as the economic contagion spread from the periphery to core economies like Italy. The cost of borrowing has risen above 6% and Italy has enormous levels of sovereign debt - with 7% and beyond seemingly the unwelcome magic number at which the cost of borrowing becomes unsustainable. Leaders will therefore be working towards a communique that at least gives a sign they have an answer to the growing financial turmoil. If they fail, many analysts say the crisis will simply worsen and the euro could eventually break up.
End of an era as the space shuttle returns to Earth ATLANTIS has safely touched down in Florida, bringing America’s space shuttle programme to an end after 30 years. The aircraft completed the 135th and last shuttle mission as it landed at Kennedy Space Centre in clear skies with hardly any wind, shortly before sunrise. After three decades of sending shuttles into orbit around Earth, Nasa has retired the them to focus on building new aircraft that can travel further into space. Mission Control said: “Having fired the imagination of a generation, a ship like no other, its place in history secured, the space shuttle pulls into port for the last time. Shuttle commander Chris Ferguson praised the thousands of people who worked on the programme since its first space flight in 1981. He said: “The space shuttle has changed the way we view the world, it has changed the way we view our universe. “There was a lot of emotion today but one thing is indisputable: America is not going to stop exploring.” He paid tribute to his craft and the other four shuttles, saying: “Thank you Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Endeavour and our ship Atlantis. God bless the United States of America.” Also on board Atlantis were pilot Doug Hurley and mission specialists Sandy Magnus and Rex Walheim. The crew of three men and one woman returned from a 13-day mission to re-supply the International Space Station (ISS) for a year with several tonnes of supplies and food. Atlantis, which spent 307 days in space and travelled nearly 126 million miles in its 33 flights since 1985, will now go on display in a museum at the Florida space centre. Discovery is bound for the Smithsonian in Washington and Endeavour is heading to Los Angeles. Columbia exploded in 2003 and Challenger was destroyed in 1986 in accidents that killed
a total of 14 crew members. Before touching down, the Atlantis crew completed final checks to flight systems on board STS-135 - and admitted they were starting to feel the emotion. Commander Ferguson said: “It’s going to be tough. It’s going to be an emotional moment for a lot of people who have dedicated their lives to the shuttle programme for 30 years. But we’re going to try to keep it upbeat.” The end of Atlantis’ mission came 42 years to the day after Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Commander Ferguson had said he hoped to deliver a poignant farewell to the shuttle, even if he could not match Armstrong’s legendary “one small step” speech. The ISS is regarded as one of the successes of the shuttle programme, having taken 12 years and 37 shuttle missions to complete. One of the final tasks for Atlantis before landing was the launch of a small satellite, one of 180 to be deployed in the last three decades. The shuttle programme has been shelved because of budget cuts. US President Barack Obama wants Nasa to focus on going beyond “low Earth orbit” and target landing on an asteroid by 2025 and Mars the following decade. Nasa is working with private companies on providing cargo runs to the space station by the end of the year and missions to carry astronauts within five years. But the end of the shuttle programme means redundancy for thousands of Nasa employees - and is an especially shattering blow to communities around space centres in Florida and Texas. Flight director Tony Ceccacci said: “We know there’s going to be a rough spot for a while but we hope that when we do get a good plan, a good direction, a good mission, that we can come back in here and do what we’ve been doing for the past 30 years for the shuttle and the years before that with Mercury, Gemini and Apollo.”

Painting the town Zoro the ferret puts himself red as restaurant right in the picture already! has party lift-off WE all love our pets, so how about a Pets’ portrait Competition, organised by Granadilla dog refuge Accion del Sol?
RESTAURANTE Sebastian, in Sunset Bay, Costa Adeje, which kicks off its fortnightly weekend entertainment on Sunday, has added face-painting to the menu. The popular restaurant offers three of Tenerife’s most exciting talents, who will provide music, painting and food! Joining local artist Frank de Decker, Australian musician Kimbal Imaz-Hirst and Raul Roldan Muñoz, the restaurant’s Spanish executive chef, will be Caroline Stokes, who is one of the partners at Restaurante Sebastian.
With her children, Luca and Alannah, she has developed a face-painting skill and will be performing on the junior guests on Sunday.. If you would like to join in the fun and wish to book a table ( they are filling up fast), send an email to alan@clearbluetenerife.com and there’s no deposit required. The party starts at 12 noon until 6pm, and for more information about Restaurante Sebastian, click on www.sebastiantenerife.com Food will be served from 1.30pm onwards. The cost per guest is 9.80 euros, and half-price for children. Don’t forget, it’s fun, fun, fun all the way every other Sunday from now on at Restaurante Sebastian.
They will pictures of your beloved pets - and not just dogs, and the best ones submitted will be copied and entered into a fun photo competition and exhibition at the refuge in October. This show will be combined with a fun agility competition for dogs and their owners, after the great success of last year’s event. You can “borrow” a refuge dog if you want to take part but do not own one. Everyone is welcome to join in, even if you do not live in Tenerife. There will be a special prize section for pet pictures submitted by children, which will be exhibited on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/e vent.php?eid=1658520401506 39 and on The Tenerife Forum, who are also supporting this event http://www.thetenerifeforu m.com/showthread.php?6782 8-Pets-portrait-thread&p=43 9047#post439047 So start hunting out those funny, serious, loving, cute pictures of your pets, or take fresh ones. And remember, you may submit as many pic-
tures as you like. Staff at the refuge, which is sponsored by major German charity Aktiontier, look forward to seeing your pictures, so please email them to ranchograndetenerife@gmail.co m and state your name and the name of your pet. Pictures is one of the first entries submitted, and it’s a very unusual pet. Zoro the ferret belongs to Selina Ann Dorrill-Bradley and gets the competition off to a cracking start. Also in the mix already is Prince, the beloved cat owned by Hazel Eames. We are also planning a sponsored dog walk from the Arona Grand Hotel to Bhia Del Duque beach on the evening of 4th September. More information to follow shortly. We have lots of dogs at the
refuge who would love to join in, which is a gentle hint for those Accion del Sol supporters who don’t have dogs of their own. On a serious note, a podenco and her four pups were brought into the refuge from the streets of Guia De Isora last week. Accion del Sol checked for a microchip, which she had, but it was registered with Zoocam that the dog had died in May 2010. Very strange! The dog’s owner was traced after a series of phone calls, and he expressed his astonishment that the dog was, in fact, still alive. He said he would go to the refuge to collect the dog and puppies as they remained his property. Needless to say, he has not collected them as yet and, if
he doesn’t turn up after 21 days, they will remain in Accion del Sol’s care. Last week, three dogs were delivered to the refuge with foreign chips, so it’s not just Tenerife residents abandoning their dogs. This is very sad for poor animals who are taken out of their environment to a foreign country, and then just dumped callously by their owners. The refuge is open MondayFriday (3-6pm) and it is situated at junction 51 on the TF1, right next to ITER the ecological wind farm at Granadilla Industrial Estate. Why not join our Accion Del Sol Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/ home.php?ref=canvas#!/profile.php?id=10000072904246 0 where you can see regular daily updates on the good work done at the refuge, as well as their fund-raising events. You can also view some of the beautiful dogs who are looking for loving homes. Call Accion del Sol on 922 778 630 for more details. Remember, every animal brought there by the various Town Hall dog-catchers in the South receives full veterinary care, is bathed, deflead, wormed, inoculated, microchipped, passported and sterilised or castrated, all ready for its new home.
Callao Kids in at the deep end
PARADISE Divers, based at Tropical Park in Callao Salvaje, played hosts last week to a group of youngsters from the Callao Kids Club, who enjoyed a try-dive session in the pool. It was their very first attempts at,scuba-diving and,
Page 18
despite a few nerves to begin with, nobody wanted to leave the pool by the end of the session! Not all of club members were available to take part, so Paradise Divers have kindly offered to run another session for the club during the
Summer school holidays. Those who have already tried can have another bash, and new members are welcome to join in if they come to the club and introduce themselves. The club is for youngsters of school age from the Callao
Salvaje area. Members meet at the club rooms in CC Albatros, next to Witzend, on Sunday evenings at 7pm. Prospective new members or their parents are invited to call Dennis on 646 815 318 for more details of this up-andcoming club.

5.30-7.00pm BBC TWO Clare Balding introduces the pick of the opening day’s swimming action at the World Aquatics Championships in Shanghai, including Tom Daley’s bid to retain his world title in the Men’s 10m platform. The first four of the 40 titles were decided in the
pool, all in freestyle events. Double Olympic gold medallist Rebecca Adlington and British team-mate Jo Jackson were vying for their first world titles in the 400m freestyle, where they faced Italy’s feisty defending champion Federica Pellegrini. The
men’s 400m freestyle and the 4x100m freestyle relays were also decided today. There will also be news of the open water swimming events including the Women’s 10km race where Keri-Anne Payne defends the title she won in Rome two years ago.
Formula 1 – German Grand Prix 12.05pm, BBC1 Eddie Jordan is in Germany for the Grand Prix. Jake Humphrey is joined by expert pundits David Coulthard and Eddie Jordan for live coverage of the German Grand Prix at the famous Nürburgring. The 60-lap race marks the midpoint of a season which has been dominated so far by defending world champion Sebastian Vettel. The Red Bull driver has made the best start to a season in Formula 1’s history and will have high hopes of winning his home Grand Prix for the first time. There have been five different winners of this race in as many years, and McLaren pair Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button are both vying to become the first British victor since Nigel Mansell in 1992. Commentary comes from Martin Brundle and David Coulthard. The Formula 1 Forum follows on the red button from 3.15pm.
Sugartown Ep 10.25pm, BBC1 Shaun Dooley, Miranda Raison and Tom Ellis are among the ensemble cast of Sugartown, a new threepart comedy-drama series for BBC One revolving around a small seaside hamlet in the north of England which once enjoyed a heyday as the “stick-of-rock” capital of Britain. As the series begins, the staff at Sugartown’s famous rock factory are busy preparing for Jason’s surprise engagement party to local hairdresser Emily. Jason’s glad to give them something to celebrate, because, frankly, “rock ain’t rolling” any more and he‘s only just keeping the business afloat. But the party – and the whole town – are set to be derailed by the unexpected return of Jason’s suave, prodigal brother, Max. Emily and Max had been childhood sweethearts but that was before he walked out on the fading seaside
resort for the big city and broke her heart. But all that’s behind her now and she loves Jason. Max’s reappearance can only spell trouble, though, and he swiftly proves her right by announcing his big plans to redevelop the town and cash in on Britain’s new wave of holiday-at-homers, starting with a controversial casino. Worse, he wants to close the family rock business to take his share. As the town’s main employer and claim to fame its closure would devastate the community. However, the eccentric, loveable gang of Sugartown locals don’t plan to take things lying down. With unlikely help from another newcomer, a spirited young dancer, Carmen, who’s fallen in love with the town and its resident bad boy, Travis, they discover Sugartown once had another claim to fame – dance – and they may just have found a way to save it.

bargain to get an earlier plane out of the war zone as they face a 12-hour wait in a sweaty airport hangar. Gary tries to bribe them onto an earlier flight but is hampered by another squaddie with the same plan. Gary soon finds himself with an even later flight home after being bribed with tickets to Shark World in Cyprus. This is not going to go down well with his chums.
Gary’s words of wisdom will be provided throughout the episode and include his views on the “war on terror”, the Middle East and true friendship – plus there will be some of the soldiers’ online song tributes. The series also sees Gary return to Edinburgh to carry out duties closer to home which, ultimately, end in high-jinx, fun and regular trouble with Sergeant Thomson.

quality, safe maternity care. Before the last general election, the Conservatives promised 3,000 new midwives in England to cope with the rising birth rate but the Royal College of Midwives says it has failed to deliver. The RCM says 4,500 midwives are needed to provide a proper service. Cathy Warwick, General Secretary of the RCM, says: “I think for midwives now the pressure is relentless and none of us can really keep our standards as high as they should be if, day after day, we’re working under extreme pressure.” Yet in Scotland – where the devolved government controls health policy – funding decisions mean there is no midwife shortage. The programme visits a Scottish maternity unit where oneto-one care for women in labour is guaranteed.

evidence suggests the cost of negligence claims against the NHS for mistakes made during labour is soaring. Reporter Shelley Jofre visits one maternity unit that has turned itself around from the point of crisis. She also hears from families who feel their care was tragically compromised when staff simply didn’t have the time to give the level of care they and their babies needed. Heather Paterson and Iain Croft’s baby, Riley, died after a series of errors in an over-stretched London hospital. Heather tells the programme: “I was a healthy woman. I had a healthy baby. And so you expect that you’ll walk out of that hospital the next day with your child. And to not do that was devastating.” The government promises women a choice of high-

The UK is in the middle of a baby boom. Last year’s birthrate was the highest for 20 years. Nearly 800,000 babies were born; that’s one birth every 40 seconds. At the same time, though, births are getting more complex and there’s a chronic shortage of midwives in some parts of the UK. Some maternity units are struggling to cope with the demand and some women aren’t getting the care they deserve. Panorama has commissioned a unique survey of every maternity unit in the UK to find out just how widespread the problems are. From staff shortages to ward closures, the results paint a worrying picture of a service stretched to breaking-point in some hospitals. The UK has one of the highest stillbirth rates in the developed world and new

Ten celebrities fight it out in the ice and snow, as they head 71 Degrees North. ITV1 presents a second series of adventure show, 71 Degrees North, set amongst the icy glaciers and snowy landscape of Scandinavia. The adrenaline-fuelled programme will once again mix spectacular experiences and pure danger with sheer entertainment and breathtaking scenery. Culminating inside the Arctic Circle, this eight part adventure series stars 10 celebrities, fighting their way to the most northern part of mainland Europe. Along the way, tempers will rise and temperatures will plummet.
Page 30
Getting there will require every ounce of strength they have. Hosted by PADDY MCGUINNESS and CHARLOTTE JACKSON, the programme sees 10 celebrities take on the adventure of a lifetime. They must battle it out on a journey to the North Cape, 71° North of the equator. Their destination lies at the northernmost point of mainland Europe and getting there will require every ounce of strength they have. Those taking up the challenge are: MARTIN KEMP, BROOKE KINSELLA, NICKY CLARKE, CHARLIE DIMMOCK, RAV WILDING, LISA MAXWELL, SEAN MAGUIRE, ANGELLICA
BELL, JOHN THOMSON, AMY WILLIAMS. For the 10 new stars facing this epic challenge, they will encounter harsh conditions that will see the teams bonding for survival.

Viewers will get to know some of Britain’s best loved stars, see how they deal with the immense pressure of arctic conditions and watch them embark on the experience of a lifetime. Only one celebrity will make it all the way to The North Cape and be crowned winner of 71 Degrees North.

Marcus looks at how prime numbers can explain the unique 13-year life-cycle of the periodic cicada, how 12th-century medieval clergy used simple number ratios to create cathedrals that they felt mirrored God’s creation, and why the breaking of these harmonies helps us understand why sirens are so effective at getting our attention.

The Great British Weather
2:35pm ......................The Jeremy Kyle Show
the home of The Royal Observatory, Alexander Armstrong, Chris Hollins and Carol Kirkwood examine how the glowing ball in the sky controls our seasons, our climate and, of course, our temperature. The show charts how Britain’s relationship with sunlight has evolved from prehistoric worship at
Stonehenge to body beautiful worship as hordes of people take to gardens, parks and beaches to sizzle under its intense heat. The darker side of the sun’s summer heat is also put under the spotlight. Why does the South East of England have more thunderstorms than anywhere else in the country, especially in summer? The programme discovers how lightning is actually formed and gives viewers the definitive survival guide for coping with nature’s deadliest display.

Golf – Women’s British Open 2.15pm, BBC2 world No. 1 Yani Tseng. This year, the 22-year-old from Taiwan became the youngest female player to have won four major titles, but it is more than a decade since anyone successfully defended the British Open.
Tseng faces stiff competition from the likes of former winners Jiyai Shin, Karrie Webb and Scotland’s Catriona Matthew. Coverage of the second round continues tomorrow on BBC Two at 2.15pm.
Coming soon… Superior Interiors with Kelly Hoppen Channel 5 has announced a brand new commission, Superior Interiors with Kelly Hoppen presented by award winning British interior designer and author Kelly Hoppen (MBE). Leading home appliance manufacturer, Siemens, whose products are recognised for their sleek appearance, ergonomic design and energy efficient innovation, is funding this programme. This will be the third programme to feature product placement on the Channel. For decades, Britain’s first lady of interior design, Kelly Hoppen, has set the standard for elegance and taste in interiors. Whether it is
the houses and yachts of elite private clients to hotels, restaurants and even British Airways First Class cabins, Kelly has pioneered a simple yet opulent style that has permeated interior design at every level. In this brand new 5 part commission for Channel 5, Kelly will turn her hand to Britain’s less than attractive interiors. For many of these homes cash isn’t the issue, infact in some cases it has exaggerated the problem. Home owners have volunteered themselves for the show to pay for an absolute overhaul of their interiors and Kelly will guide them on style and elegance in her own unique way. Andrew O’Connell, Channel
5’s Head of Factual, comments “This is very exciting new commission for Channel 5 and it is fantastic to be working with Kelly Hoppen who is one of Britain’s leading interior designers. Viewers will enjoy her creative flare and the style that she will bring to homes up and down the country.” Kelly Hoppen said “Money does not buy you style or taste!..that's the bad news however the good news is that I can show you how you can create beautiful interiors by simply following some golden rules of design , in my show I am helping five families create stylish interiors in their home and overcome fears and financial worries by thinking all aspects through.”

Are they real or false?
ARTIFICIAL plants and flowers, like everything else, have improved in quality nowadays, to the point that it is often hard to tell the difference. Of course, it would be nicer to have natural plants, but this is not always possible. The reason why artificial plants are of such interest to us here in Tenerife is that many people do not live here all year round and, therefore cannot care for live specimens. Or, for people who do live here all year round, like me, but seem to be able to kill any interior plant in a matter of weeks. I think I overfeed and overwater them. On the other hand, it doesn’t seem to have done the kids any harm! Plants can be very attractive indoors because they add colour, texture and shape but, more importantly they break up the squareness of the room.
Page 38
They are also a relatively cheap way of filling up a space in a corner for example, rather than buying an extra piece of furniture. The choice of a nice pot to go with your interior decoration will also add a splash of colour and tone everything together. Plants come in a variety of shapes and colours, depending on where you want to put them, and what effect you are trying to achieve. For example, in a room which is very square, with the furniture around the walls, a plant will soften the whole appearance and break up the rigidity of the design. They also make the room look more homely and livedin. A fern or palm will spread out and fill up a large space, whereas other models are taller and more contained. I have a client who has had a large artificial tree on her small terrace for about a year. While these plants are not designed to be outside, and direct sun and rain will definitely shorten their lifespan, her terrace does have an overhang, so this offers some protection.
The tree fills up the corner and looks fabulous - and she has draped some solar lights in between all the branches. It creates a lovely ambient light, just as I discussed in my last article about making the most of your terrace. We changed the pot for her for something more modern, and the old one was full of water! She maintains that it must have been rainwater, but since her terrace has an overhang, that seems unlikely! I think either she or her tenants have been watering it because it is so realistic! I also have two artificial bay trees, one on either side of my front door. In my case, the reason is not because I am away from the house for any length of time, but more because my two puppies have shredded every living thing in my garden. While I realise these artificial plants will not last forever, at least they look nice now, and will probably continue to do so for a year or two. Or until the puppies stop teething! All items are available at Deco Nuevo, next to Ofipapel in Los Cristianos.
Apple smashing profit records APPLE has beaten profit expectations for the three months to the end of June, thanks to big increases in iPhone and iPad sales. The California-based company sold a record 20.3 million iPhones over the quarter, a rise of 140% on the same period a year ago, and a record 9.25 million iPads, up 183%. Apple also saw sales of its Macs increase - albeit by a much more modest 14%. “We’re thrilled to deliver our best quarter ever, with revenue up 82% and profits up 125%,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s chief executive.
In a conference with investors, Apple directors admitted that it was likely some customers purchased an iPad instead of a Mac. But they added they thought even more customers decided to buy an iPad instead of a Windows PC. Some may also have held back purchase of a Mac in anticipation of the latest update to Apple’s operating system - the OS X Lion - which has just been released. Only the iPod, once the driver of Apple’s growth, fell in popularity, with 20% fewer units sold. Analysts said the bumper iPhone sales helped Apple leapfrog Nokia and Samsung to become the world’s biggest smartphone maker.
But in the UK and several other countries, figures show Android-based smartphones which tend to be cheaper than the iPhone - are selling faster than Apple’s hit product. “Share gain is important,” chief operating officer Tim Cook told investors. “Anywhere we’re going the opposite way we’re not happy and you can bet we’re working hard to change that.” Apple also revealed it was turning its attention to China, where Mr Cook claimed the company was “only scratching the surface right now”. With a 600% increase in revenue from China over the quarter, he said Apple had an “incredible opportunity” there.
Scottish & Southern bumps up their gas price by 18% CUSTOMERS of Scottish and Southern Energy are being warned to expect their highest bills ever after the company announced a price hike. Electricity prices are to go up by 11% and gas prices will increase by 18% from September 14. Scottish and Southern estimates it will add £171 to a typical annual duel fuel bill, taking it from £1,094 to £1,265 - its highest average bill ever. But it promised that this
would be the last increase until August 2012 at the earliest. The move follows recent price rises from Scottish Power and British Gas, prompting consumer groups to warn that people were being “priced out” of the energy market. Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) told customers there were three main reasons why energy bills were on the rise. “First, the cost of using the energy networks to distribute
electricity and gas to customers’ homes, which is determined by Ofgem, is 14% higher than it was a year ago,” it said. “Second, the cost of the mandatory environmental and social schemes that suppliers are required to fund, like the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) and the Warm Home Discount, is 11% higher than it was a year ago. “Third, the wholesale cost of electricity and gas has gone up by around 23% and around 40% respectively since SSE last announced a price increase for household gas.” Out of the average £1,265 annual bill, just 56% covers the cost of the gas and electricity, according to SSE. The rest is made up of distribution costs (19%), metering and customer service costs (12%), environmental and social scheme costs (8%) and VAT (5%). Lobby group Consumer Focus says that ever-increasing energy bills mean over nine million people are currently living in fuel poverty in Britain. If all the big six suppliers follow the lead of Scottish Power, British Gas and SSE, it estimates that this could push the number up to nearly 12 million.

DAVID HUDGELL Getting to the root of your gardening problems! Email: David.hudgell@canarianweekly.com
The Edible Garden E.R Garden Show CHANNEL 5 has announced a brand new commission Garden E.R an ad funded series, sponsored by Anglian Home Improvements.
BBC TV’s award-winning gardening presenter James Wong has signed up to The Edible Garden Show. The popular gardener who was a major success at this year’s launch event has signed a two-year deal with organisers to write an exclusive monthly column with gardening tips and recipes for The Edible Garden Show’s popular website and he will give a series of daily talks at the 2012 and 2013 shows. Bev Channell, Event Director for The Edible Garden Show, said: “We are delighted that James Wong has agreed to join our team. He was a big hit at this year’s show where he packed out our Experts’ Theatre and we’ve had lots of requests from the public asking us to ensure James is at our future shows.” Passionate gardener James, who entertained visitors with fascinating talks on “Incredible Edibles” said: “The Edible Garden Show is a great concept. It’s high time that Grow Your Own enthusiasts had their own dedicated national show and the success of the launch event demonstrates how much interest there is among the public. I’m sure the show is going to grow in popularity and I am pleased to be part of the team.” James added: “My talks on exotic fruits and vegetables were really well received and next year I plan to give two different talks each day which
I hope will be both entertaining and informative.” James is on a mission to tempt “grow your owners” into becoming a bit more adventurous. He will be giving planting ideas and seasonal advice throughout the year on The Edible Garden Show website www.thediblegardenshow.co.uk along with recipes for his exotic harvest. The botanist, gardener, designer, broadcaster and natural remedies obsessive says: “I want to create a fresh guide to cool stuff to grow, appealing to everyone from plant geeks to horticultural

virgins alike. Growing your own can be so much more cutting edge than people think. It doesn’t have to be all about cabbage and caulis – there is a tantalising treasure chest of rare and exotic edibles perfectly capable of surviving and flourishing in the UK climate.” James, who won a prestigious Gold Medal at the 2011 Chelsea Flower Show for the garden he co-designed for the Malaysian Tourist Board, will be appearing each day in the Experts’ Theatre at The Edible Garden Show from 1618 March 2012. A qualified Ethnobotanist, James trained at the University of Kent and the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew before travelling the world in search of natural remedies. His research has taken him to Ecuador, South China and Indonesia. Since starting work in television in 2008, he has brought his botanical expertise to such hit programmes as BBC Countryfile, Gardeners’ World and James Wong and The
Malaysian Garden, as well as fronting his own award-winning show BBC’s Grow Your Own Drugs, which brought plant-based remedies to a whole new audience. He has written two bestselling books based on his popular TV series. The Edible Garden Show 2012 promises to be bigger and better than the launch event which attracted nearly 11,000 visitors. More than half of the exhibitors at the inaugural show have already signed up for next year. From bees, chickens, goats and pigs to seeds, sheds, wellies and wormeries – there is something for everyone including an incredible range of innovative and exciting products for grow your own fans. The show will boast an additional exhibition hall, enlarged animal marquee and food areas, tips from a wide range of gardening experts, cookery demonstrations and interactive displays. For information about growing weird and wonderful crops go to www.jameswong.co.uk
This 8-part series aims to offer viewers a unique, accessible and stylish take on gardening that will appeal to both gardeners and non-gardeners alike. The series will also be the second of which to feature product placement on Channel 5. The series is led by TV presenter and Chelsea Gold garden designer David Domoney, assisted by Bonnie Davies, his female co-host. David Domoney said: “This is such an exciting project to be involved with and I can’t wait to get started helping to create some beautiful gardens and pass on invaluable tips that I have built up over my career. It is also great to be working with my co-host Bonnie who brings a fresh appeal to gardening.” Each programme will feature a dramatic makeover of an average-sized garden located in a new housing development in the Midlands, with plenty of suggestions on how to achieve garden glory on a budget. The presenting team will also be taking tours around
celebrity gardens, righting some of the worst gardening gaffs imaginable and “pimping” up some garden sheds. Greg Barnett, Commissioning Editor, Entertainment, Daytime & Soaps said: “This is very exciting new commission for Channel 5 and novice gardeners everywhere. It is fantastic to be working with David Domoney who is one of Britain’s leading gardeners with a wealth of experience & 27 Royal Horticultural Society Medals under his belt. Viewers will enjoy his creative flare and the style that he will bring to gardens up and down the country.” Martin Troughton, Marketing Director at Anglian Home Improvements said: “As sponsors of Garden ER, Anglian Home Improvements have extended the concept of improving living space from the home to the great British outdoors. Gardens play an important role in the summer months and we understand the significance of improving homeowner’s external space, because the nation’s gardens become a whole new ‘room’ to spend the summer in. We are certain the programme will stimulate and inspire viewers to improve their living space by watching David and his ingenious flare for creative gardening.”
Last in the series Next Friday, 29th July at 8pm, green-fingered gardening guru Alan Titchmarsh presents the last episode in his gardening series which aims to show viewers how to create their own personal havens by making the most of their available space – from a large country garden to a small back yard. Alan and his team of experts have valuable advice and ideas on making a garden from scratch, maintaining an established plot and creating a look and style in any out-
door space.

CARL PATTISON It’s fun and dancing from Robot, answers your hair questions
YUP, even her royal Ga Ga-ness is in on the Moroccan Oil act, and I must say that in my entire hairdressing career, NEVER has there been such a commotion about a range of hair products.
GA GA goes ga ga - for Moroccan oil!
YUP, even her royal Ga Ganess is in on the Moroccan Oil act, and I must say that in my entire hairdressing career, NEVER has there been such a commotion about a range of hair products. I don’t even have to push this product because it sells itself. We’ve been slow on the uptake regarding this brand of haircare here in Tenerife, but I can proudly say that we now have nearly a full range of these products. It starts with the original ‘oil’ that is used on wet and dry hair to smooth, repair, protect and replenish, to the fantastic
h a i r ‘masque’, w h i c h repairs hair damage, and the accompanying shampoo and hair conditioner to “lock in” all that moisture. We now hold the intense curl balm to nourish curly hair so, instead of ‘frizzes’, we have
NO, not with surgery but with the new Keratin Infra Red Treatment. I get told about and I am shown much information concerning many products and services which say they are going to perform MIRACLES! I have to see them to believe them, I am assured. About a month ago, I was told about a new system that “restores” the keratin (the product your nails and hair are made of) which is lost naturally, chemically or by heat damage. I really had to see this for myself as there have been a lot of scare stories around recently about certain products that claim to smooth your hair. Not only are some of these products damaging to the
hair structure, but they are also bad for the client AND for the stylist because, in the process, they give off fumes that can be cancerous. So, as you can expect, I trod very carefully on this one. We held a workshop recently in the salon to go through every aspect of this new Keratin treatment. The hair is washed and conditioned in a keratin-therapy solution to start “rebuilding” it from the inside out, and then a leave-in masque is applied. We ‘infra-red’ the solution into your hair to seal in all the keratin. At first, I thought, “I can’t see any difference”, until it

smooth, glossy curls, whatever your natural curl type. Even if you are ironing your hair constantly, we have a ‘smoothing balm’ to relax and protect it, no matter what you are putting it through. I found out recently that one of my clients used a full bottle of the hair oil on her skin because it is so full of Vitamin E, and another client brought one for her dog, believe it or not, to take away its frizzy wiry coat! It has been a long time since we have had such an amazing product that is not only natural but, without a shadow of a doubt, does what it says its going to do. And at such reasonable prices, it’s no wonder that Moroccan Oil is one of the fastest-growing companies in the world.
Turn back time came to styling the hair, either with an iron or hair dryer. The result? It does literally turn the hair around! My model had dry, frizzy, naturally-curly hair with, I might add, highlights and a colour. She left with what I can only describe as “New Hair”. The results are long-lasting and the formula can be repeated every four to five months, depending on the damage in the first place. Now, no one has an excuse. Several versions of this treatment are available, so do consult your stylist and ask about a chance to turn your hair around!
ZUMBA, the latest dance craze, was conceived by a fitness instructor who forgot to bring her music along and played what she had to hand, which was Latin American. The class loved it, Zumba was a result, and that is why Beccy McGhie, a professional dancer for 10 years until her two children came along, now teaches it. Beccy, who lives in Chayofa, saw an advert for Zumba dancing and bought some DVDs. She loved the dance so much that she enrolled for a training course in Liverpool, which resulted in her getting a qualified instructor’s licence. Now she’s back in Tenerife and has been teaching
Zumba here for six months, at Polercise, in Las Americas, and Ritmania, in Los Cristianos. It is suitable for all ages and Beccy, the only licensed teacher in South Tenerife (there’s one in the North), will take children from 10 years upwards. She has even had an 89-year-old woman in her class! “You don’t need to be a dancer because all you have to do is follow my movements and instructions,” says Beccy. “Zumba works the whole body and gives you a good, fat-burning, cardio workout (without you even knowing) while you’re having fun. And it gets rid of wobbly bums, tums, thighs and bingo wings.” She is starting a Zumba Gold class for the older population in about a month, which will be a lower-impact
class but still fat-burning. Her enthusiasm rubs off with new music, new dance moves every month and something new every class to keep it fun. “I’m guessing that the Spanish, with their natural Latin rhythm, will find it easy,” she adds. “I can understand why the Zumba craze has swept America and England, and is now sweeping Tenerife. It is definitely suited to people who find the gym monotonous because this makes working-out much more fun.” So far, she has yet to enlist a male pupil, but men will be most welcome. She also offers a free crèche service on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, while classes cost just seven euros a time. Interested? Then call Becky on 635 794 314 and feel the music, let loose and party yourself into shape.

VAL SAINSBURY Keeping her finger on the pulse Email: val.sainsbury@canarianweekly.com
From lamp-posts to London, in just 10 painful kilometres! WITH a quarter-of-amile to go, my body screamed at me to stop, but I had to carry on. The finishing line seemed to be disappearing into the distance, instead of getting closer. To fall at the last hurdle would have been unthinkable. My goal was to complete this British 10k London run without having to resort to walking, and to raise money for The Alzheimer’s Society, in memory of my late mother, Mary. But all I wanted to do was to end my interminable discomfort, and have a well-earned rest. A few minutes later and it was all over. I had done what I
had set out to do, and I was happy. Never mind that I had taken so long that the crowds who lined the route were on their way home, and the streetcleaning teams were out in force, clearing up the empty water bottles discarded by 25,000 runners! All you marathoners out there have my utmost respect. I am now even more in awe of anyone who can complete that distance. But I was thrilled to finish my first race, even though it was a much-lessstrenuous 6.2 miles! How different this all was from my first attempt at serious running. All I could manage was the distance between two lamp-posts, on Golf del Sur, several months ago. I had always enjoyed gymnas-
tics and sports at school, including tennis, lacrosse and netball. But, nearly four decades later, I knew I had to master the art of running, to prepare myself for a militarystyle boot-camp I had booked to go on last October. I knew there would be a lot of running involved at the camp, so I had to get training. Although many sports require us to be very active, I discovered that pounding the streets was something quite different. The relentless puffing and panting was certainly rather uncomfortable when undertaken by this unfit female in her mid-50s! There is something about getting older that can prompt us into thinking that if we don’t try new ventures, it could be too late.
As the years go by, the more chance we have of developing an illness, so keeping active is vital. I have lost count of the number of people who have told me about their love of sport during their youth, often reaching good standards. Unless you are really unable to exercise, it can be possible -
with a lot of determination - to reinvent yourself, and try to recapture the sheer joy you experienced when you were young. After spending many years supporting my two sons while they played their chosen sports, I suddenly realised that if I didn’t hurry up, I may never achieve anything for myself. At the age of 16, I could swim only a few lengths. Now I can swim over a mile, comfortably! As a child, I had only a small bike with no gears. Now, I ride my mountain bike high in the hills on the Island, spending several hours conquering steep inclines, and then reaping the rewards, by freewheeling back down. Nothing could be more exhil-
arating than feeling the sun on my skin and the wind in my hair, with Mount Teide behind me and the Atlantic ahead in the distance. My aims for next year are to run a more-comfortable 10k and then, hopefully, a halfmarathon. I can also feel an organised, mile-long swim in London’s Docklands beckoning, as well as a sprint-distance triathlon. Age should be no barrier when it comes to adventures. That feeling when you have accomplished something of which you could only dream, is second to none. Always believe in yourself, and remember the age-old saying: “It’s not the winning, but the taking part.”
Painless way to calm dementia-sufferers ORDINARY painkillers such as paracetamol may work better than the risky anti-pyschotic drugs often prescribed to calm agitation in people with dementia. Patients with severe dementia showed significantly less agitation when taking ordinary pain medicines than a control group given standard treatment. That was highlighted this week in a study, published online, by the British Medical Journal. Extreme aggression and
agitation are common symptoms of advanced dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, which is distressing for patient, family and professional carers. The condition is usually compounded by pain, and the frequent inability of those afflicted to express their discomfort clearly. Powerful anti-psychotics and anti-depressants are often the drugs of first choice and, in many countries, are prescribed for agitation to about half of
22 July 2011 - 28 July 2011
dementia patients in nursing homes. A team of scientists in Stockholm treated 352 patients from 16 Norwegian nursing homes - all with severe dementia, most in their mid-to-late 80s - with one of four pain-relief medications. Over an eight-week period, 70% took a large daily dose of paracetamol and 20% were given buprenorphine, used to treat addiction and moderate-to-acute pain. The other 10% took stronger painkillers.
A control group continued their usual treatment, including certain anti-psychotics or anti-depressants. Experts who did not know who took what conducted interviews during the trial and in a four-week follow up. “The paracetamol produced a clinically and statistically significant reduction in agitation and pain,” wrote professors Paul Rosenberg and Constantine Lyketsos, in a commentary also published in the British Medical Journal.

Shoppers feel the squeeze as food prices rise CASH-STRAPPED consumers are increasingly turning to budget food stores and cheaper brands because of rising prices, according to a report. A nationwide survey from consumer watchdog Which? suggests shoppers have been forced to become more savvy at the tills. Some 84% of people are worried about the cost of food, the study found. Nine in 10 said they had noticed an increase in the cost of food in the past year, and a third said they had reduced spending on groceries this year. Fewer people are willing to splash out on organic meat, and nearly half are cutting back on organic fruit and vegetables. Richard Lloyd, executive director at Which?, said: “Despite inflation falling slightly in June, people are still feeling the squeeze from
Page 42
soaring food prices. “People are changing their behaviour and becoming more savvy shoppers when it comes to groceries, but there’s only so much they can do to cut back on the basics.” A separate study by market researchers Mintel has found four in five people had changed shopping habits because of the rising cost of food. Food and grocery sales are down by 1.7% compared with a year ago, according to retail analyst Nielsen. The British Retail Consortium has said droughts in parts of Europe - including the UK - have hit yields of many food crops, pushing up prices.
Rick Stein’s recipe for Patatas bravas RICK STEIN’S Spain is a new ‘cook’ progrmme on TV at the moment. Try his recipe for Patatas bravas. Driving his chum’s rather clapped-out camper van, which he describes as his Rocinante, celebrated chef Rick Stein embarks on a culinary journey through Spain laced with history, literature and stunning photography. “I’ve wanted to make a series in Spain for a long time,” Rick explains. “I love Spanish food, I’ve been going there since I was a young boy – but until quite recently I don’t think people really took the food seriously. French and Italian cooking was felt to have more finesse. Thanks to a handful of really dedicated Spanish chefs and a growing enthusiasm for
its rugged flavours, that has all begun to change. No one cooks fish with more respect or grills meat better. To me the underlying point of journeying to Spain would be to discover ‘duende’ in the cooking. By that I mean a sense of soul, of authenticity. The word is normally used for the soul of flamenco but I think it could be equally applied to the art of Spanish cooking because to my mind, in really good food, there is a communication between the cook and diner that amounts to art.” Patatas bravas as they should be: crisp, olive oil-fried potatoes topped with a tomato sauce, well-flavoured with hot pimentón and sharpened with a little vinegar. Ingredients
For the salsa brava 3 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp pimentón picante (smoked hot Spanish paprika), plus extra for serving ½ tsp crushed dried chilli flakes ½ tsp Tabasco sauce 1 tbsp red wine vinegar 125ml/4fl oz tomato sauce (see Top recipe tip below) For the potatoes 1.5kg/3lb 5oz floury potatoes, such as Maris Piper or King Edwards, peeled 180ml/6fl oz olive oil, for shallow frying salt Preparation method 1.For the salsa brava, heat the olive oil over a low heat, add the pimentón, chilli flakes, Tabasco and vinegar and mix together well. Stir in the tomato sauce and season to
taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper (thin the mixture with a little water if necessary). 2.Cut the potatoes into small, even-sized pieces. Drop into a large pan of well-salted water and cook for 6-7 minutes, or until just tender. Drain well. 3.Heat the olive oil in two large, non-stick frying pans, divide the potatoes between them and shallow-fry in a single layer for 10–12 minutes, turning them regularly, until crisp, golden-brown all over and sandy in texture. 4.Spoon the potatoes into one large or small individual serving plates, drizzle over the sauce, sprinkle with a pinch of pimentón and serve with some toothpicks and napkins.

Mamma’s for that real taste of Italy
IF YOU really want to spoil someone special, or treat your friends then Mamma’s Italian Restaurant in San Eugunio is the place to take them. We have eaten there before and, I have to say, the homecooked food just gets better and better. As usual, we were greeted by Geni and her staff, together with chef-owner Giovanni (pictured). Not surprisingly, he was busy in the kitchen, but he was able to pop out to say hello. Only for a minute or two, mind you, because the restaurant was heaving, just as it was when we visited a few months ago. So, where do you begin to tackle their delicious Italian food? My work colleague decided to start with the garlic bread, which was excellent. She followed that with a pasta dish, Panzerottii al Pomodoro (Ricotta cheese with spinach filling in tomato sauce) and it looked so tasty that I couldn’t resist trying a little! I poured over the menu before deciding on a variation of what I had selected on the last visit. Thus, I started with the Bruchetta, tomatos, peppers, herbs on toasted bread. Delicious!
For the main course, I tried the Battered Prawns with potatoes and salad, which I would recommend to anyone because it was scrumptious! And yes, you’ve guessed it, I stuck with the same dessert I’d had on the last occasion as the Profiteroles are simply unbelievable and, just like before, I could not resist them. In fact, I defy anyone to resist them! Mamma’s restaurant has an “Early Doors” meal from 68pm, featuring delicious pasta dishes at only 2.50 euros (1.50 for the kids), and believe me, you could not cook them for these prices: genuine, Italian, home-cooked dishes! Believe me also when I tell you that you should get their nice and early - really early because Mamma’s packs them in for these pasta treats. And that’s not all. I highly recommend this restaurant because it has always been full on my previous visits, which tells you the food is brilliant, with a welcoming atmosphere not to be missed. Mamma’s is open Mondays to Saturdays from 6pm till late. To find the restaurant, take the road up the hill on the corner of Island Village and opposite The Toby Jug. Check out the advert above for further details.

Thomas Cook’s merger doesn’t signal the end for many shops
HIGH STREET travel company Thomas Cook, which has the Going Places brand, will close fewer than one in 15 shops following a merger with The Co-operative Travel and Midlands Co-operative. Only a handful are likely to shut before next year and, says the company, the number will be smaller than if the deal had not been okayed by the Competition Commission on Wednesday, Thomas Cook chief executive Manny Fontenla-Novoa told Travel Weekly: “The two companies merged will be much stronger than on their own. The number of shops we keep open will be much higher, and more shops on the high street is good news for consumers.” He insisted job losses would be kept to a minimum, although redundancies are inevitable among staff at the companies’ merged head offices. Thomas Cook’s Peterborough headquarters will run the merged retail group. Fontenla-Novoa added: “We never hid the fact that there would be some closures where there was duplication. We believe 75 or so stores will close, but I can’t tell 100% because we can’t share commercially-sensitive information in advance of the final clearance. “A lot of factors come into play. Where shops close may not be obvious. It is not just about overlap. We have a lot of places now where there is a Going Places store next to a Thomas Cook. “We will work hard to offer alternative jobs in the high street and opportunities to move within an area. We’re confident we will not have a great deal of redundancies. “Any high-street retailer will tell you they have a high
Page 44
turnover of staff. Our turnover is relatively low, but I believe we can accommodate most staff.” Shops are unlikely to be identified for closure before next year, meaning retail staff can at least relax about their immediate future. The merger should formally be completed by October, following Wednesday’s provisional clearance by the Competition Commission. Fontenla-Novoa said: “We get final clearance in midAugust. Then we have to complete, which could take six weeks. It will probably take a couple of months after that to take a view. “Then we will look at the leases and a lot of other things. In terms of closures, it is unlikely to be before the new year. Our staff mean a lot to us and we hope to minimise the impact on the high street.” However, Fontenla-Novoa said merging the two head offices would be harder to handle, adding: “There is overlap and clearly, there will be some job losses. “Some Co-op staff will transfer to Peterborough, and my understanding is that there are a lot of other Co-op group functions based at the Co-op head office.” The Thomas Cook chief executive has no idea of the numbers likely to be made redundant, but confirmed that the merged group’s homeworker and franchise divisions would remain in place. “The homeworker division will remain as it is,” said. “We want to invest in that area because the Co-op does it so much better than us.” The merger will combine Thomas Cook’s 780 shops with the 380 in The Co-operative Travel group and 100 at Midlands Co-operative. Thomas Cook’s Going Places brand will disappear, with shops operating as The Co-operative Travel.

You can see right through this weird Renault dream RENAULT have unveiled the surreal Frendzy concept, which is set for a starring role in September’s Frankfurt Motor Show. The bizarre creation combines a work van and a people carrier, and has a 37-inch widescreen display incorporated into the bodywork. It is controlled using a Blackberry Playbook in the cabin - the mobile phone company’s new tablet PC, and their response to the Apple iPad. This is the ultimate futuristic van, with the screen able to display any company logo or message, while the fabric roof is designed to adapt to the shape of bulky objects. It even has magnetic fixings for securing loads, and a onepiece bench folds out of the floor when it’s carrying passengers. And for weekend family outings, kids are accommodated with a concealed slate board for drawing on, and a rather more modern slide-out screen for games. The Frendzy is, according to Renault, the fourth phase in a
five-step design strategy, first shown with the DeZir sports car, Captur crossover and RSpace MPV. They are designed to represent “passion”, “exploration” and “family” respectively, with the Frendzy designed for
“work”. But that just spells out a load of manufacturer’s sales tosh to me. The Frendzy is said to follow the different stages of the human life cycle, representing the world of work, and parts of its design are inspired by large
aircraft. But all the models get a curvaceous new design, including the new Renault family face, which means a full width grille and oversized badge. As a modern concept car it is, of course, electric, sharing the
same drivetrain as the recently Kangoo Van ZE. However, it features sound technology so that the silent electric motor can make all manner of noises. But instead of focusing on engine emulation, Renault has given the
Frendzy a set of “sound signatures” distinct to the car. But there is no question of the Frendzy, or its like, seeing the inside of a showroom any time soon. Shame, because it looks fun and is quite a catchy looker.
Looks can be so deceiving - but just look at this bargain offering! FORGET the £1.5million price tag for this Bugatti Veyron supercar. It’s all yours for just £54,000, but it comes with a secret past.

finished in stunning black and red, comes with a complete service history, but it’s
strictly Ford, unfortunately. The car belongs to 25year-old Mike Duke, from
Florida, who spent nine months building it from the base of his Ford Cougar coupé, which was worth around £1,000. It’s on sale now for £54,000, and actually, it’s not a bad imitation of the real thing, although it has no Bugatti badges, and the wheels are a giveaway. Still, it’s a fraction what you’d pay for a legitimate model on the used-car market, or the six-figure sums that second-hand Veyrons have been selling for in recent months.
An original Veyron, with 1,001bhp, takes 2.5 seconds to reach the 0-62mph benchmark, while this pretender does it in 8.2secs and tops out at 140mph. The Veyron, famously, has a 252mph top speed! Ambitious Mr Duke said: “I wanted the million-dollar look without the repair bills, insurance and huge up-front cost. “I’m very happy with the finished result and, of course, driving around in the car gets more comments than you could ever imagine.”

El Medano World Cup such a wow with windsurfers Match Report LEAGUE players turned their attention last Friday to the singles knock-out competition, being sponsored by the Volare showbar on Golf del Sur. The event pitted some of the best male and female players against each other in their bid to play on the big stage on finals’ night. At the Phoenix Bar, 18 lovely ladies enjoyed a fine evening and showed their abilities in some close-fought matches. Indeed, two of the home venue’s players managed to get to the semifinals. Maddie just missed out in a tough match with Laura, while Joan was unable to stop Betty. Congratulations to Laura and Betty for making it to the final. Four venues staged the Open competition, and the first result to come through on the night was from La Central. Luc hit a 180 on his way to a semi-final with Justyn, but the Bar 180 player went through to face Nauta Bar’s Dale. Sadly for Dale, Justyn proved too strong and booked his finals place with a 3-0 win. At The Pub, Sundowners Tom seemed to have it in for the Ourplace lads as he beat all three of them on his way to a well-deserved last-four berth. La Central captain Andy upset the odds slightly at Sundowners and will be very happy to have earned his first-ever semi-final spot. The Ourplace venue draw came up with a clutch of high-flying Division One players and, by all accounts, there were some fantastic darts thrown on the night. Unfortunately for the other players, Mitch, last season’s Jurgen trophy winner (among others), was in the mood for more silverware and hit three 180s on the night. In a great last match against Bubbles, he went 2-0 up but was then pegged back to 2-2 by the big man. It was too little too late, though, and Mitch came through victorious. Congratulations to the winners: Ladies - Betty (Cafe Rood B), Laura (Toscales).

Justyn (Bar 180 A) Ourplace: Mitch (Nauta A) Sundowners: Andy (La Central) The Pub: Tom (Sundowners) One catch up match result. Tenerife Sun 1-7 Trap Door (dawn 180) By Geoff Huxtable
CONDITIONS at sea were so “insane” at El Medano last week that the Windsurfing World Cup event was wrapped up with four days to spare. The crowds who gathered in their hundreds every day may have felt a shade disappointed, though far from being short-changed, but delight was written all over the face of organiser and competitor Dany Bruch. The “wave king”, who lives in El Medano, finished runner-up to 17-year-old fellow-German Philip Koster as the second leg of the World Cup came to a dramatic climax on Saturday. The women’s event was almost a foregone conclusion as 14-time world champion Daida Ruano Moreno - and reigning queen - beat twin sister Iballa into second place. It was her second successive win after claiming the title in her native Gran Canaria the previous week, where Koster who is based there - also triumphed in the opening event of the tour. Mast-high waves and riproaring winds of up to 25 knots ensured the perfect setting for the world’s finest windsurfers, and Bruch believes next year’s World Cup competitors will use El Medano as a training centre before the tour gets underway. The event finished in record time and, with days to spare before the next leg of the championship, which starts today (Friday) in Fuerteventura, the relaxed competitors treated spectators to plenty of spectacular, exhibition windsurfing.
Familiar feeling: Daida Ruano Moreno, a 14-time world champ, beat twin sister Iballa to win the women’s event
Philip Koster secured his second World Cup win of the season
They also spent a day at Siam Park on Wednesday, going through their paces in the artificial wave pool on surfboards, or simply lazing around, soaking up the sunshine. Bruch could not have been more thrilled with how the El Medano competition was received, by performers and spectators alike. He told online windsurfing magazine Board: “It was amazing to see all the people on the beach and to have those perfect conditions. “I felt quite emotional, I had been working for months to organise this event, so I am
really happy everything came together. I wanted to show everyone that Tenerife has some amazing windsurfing spots. “The last time there was a competition here was 15 years ago, and the majority of the new generation of wave-sailors hadn’t sailed here. I think having the competition here will really bring people to the Island to enjoy the conditions.” The German star added: “I believe a lot of the sailors will come here to train before the start of the competition next year.”
