Taxing time for all!

IGIC goes up, along with electricity, gas, petrol and even phones IT’S OFFICIAL! The increased IGIC taxes (Impuesto General Indirecto Canario) came into force on Sunday in the seven Canary Islands.

The Canarian Parliament formally agreed to the new measures on 21st June, following the preliminary agreement by the councils and all the municipalities throughout the Archipelago back in May, subsequent to a week of discussions, when the initial idea was mooted.

The over-riding objective of the increase - between 2-3% is to try to offset the cut in the State budget of 448 million euros to fund basic services.

The magnitude of this rise is unprecedented in the history of the autonomous Archipelago. It is the largest increase since this indirect tax was implemented in 1993.

The general rate originally started out at 4%, rising to 4.5% and 5% in subsequent years. There has been no change since 2001.

Basically, following the Spanish General Elections earlier this year, the slice of funding applicable to the Canaries was cut dramatically, including some transportation subsidies.

It is an austerity measure which will affect everyone across the board, so in that respect it is, perhaps, the fairest way of raising funds, although it means that the day-to-day cost of living will increase.

IGIC is an indirect tax levied on supplies of goods and services, and is very similar to the UK’s Value Added Tax

(VAT). The level, however, is far less than the UK, and less than many of its European counterparts. That is because the Canaries has special dispensation because of its territorial scope.

It is also specific to the Canary Islands and though it was created by law Ley (20/1991) in 1991, it actually came into force in 1993.

Interestingly, VAT was invented by a French Economist back in 1954, and it is now applicable throughout the whole of the EU is some guise.

The level of IGIC applied depends on the type of product or service. Within five segmented tax bands, the banding remains the same, but the tax levels within them have changed.

Items which are currently zero-rated, generally those

deemed “essentials”, will remain so, such as water.

However, IGIC discounts which were previously available for fixed and mobile telephone lines will now be withdrawn, thus falling into the old 5%, now 7% category.

Items that were charged at 2% have increased by 50% to 3%. This covers necessities such as food, footwear, clothing and public transport.

The general and most common rate of 5% has seen the largest increase, to 7%.

The 9% and 13% rates jump to 9.5% and 13.5% which, ironically, is the smallest increase, but applies to luxury items like jewellery, liquor, furs and sale or rental of vehicles.

The special rate of 20%, which applies to tobacco, appears to have remained unchanged.

Taken in isolation, the small increases do not seem that bad. However, when amalgamated together with hidden costs of power, rental and other day-to-day bills, business owners will see increased monthly outgoings.

It means that companies will have no option but to pass them on to the consumer.

Although, initially, the regional government wanted to keep all of the extra tax revenue, about 250 million maximum, Law 9/2003 states that the share should be 58% for the town councils and 42% for the Spanish government.

Following negotiations, it has been agreed to give the mainland executive half of the revenues collected by the rise of IGIC until 2016.

Thus, the autonomous region can address the financing of health, education and social

services with the remainder.

Ricardo Melchior, President of the Tenerife Cabildo, said: “The town councils and municipalities have taken a very generous and supportive stance, to give the government half of the new tax collection by the tax increase.

Guadalupe Gonzalez Tano, President of the La Palma Cabildo, said: “Given the economic situation is so bad, we need to reach agreements.

There is a sharing of scarce resources at the moment, and we understand that priorities should be essential public services to be maintained at all costs.”

He also said the agreement reached between all the authorities will allow the Canarian regional executive to spend on Health, Education and Social Services.

Councils will receive their

proportional share of the increase until 2016, when it will return to normal. The tax rise is not the only measure that public sector workers are experiencing because they have also had a 5% cut in their wages.

Electricity rates (TUR) went up by an average 3.95% on Sunday, affecting more than 20 million consumers, and the price of bottled gas was increased by 5.92%.

On top of these austerity increases to enable the Spanish Government to swell its badly-diminished coffers, fuel went up at the same time by five cents a litre.

Mains gas was also hit, by 2.26%, which put the average annual bill for consumers up by 14.89 euros.

Gas bottles have increased to 16.45 euros each, which is more than double their price of eight years ago.

It’s a big blow for electricity consumers, who had already been hit by a 7% rise in April.

The latest increase flies in the face of promises made earlier in the year that there would be no further rises in domestic fuel.

It also means that electricity, once an exceptionally cheap commodity, has increased by some threefold in the last five years. Between 2006 and 2011, the price of electricity for Spanish consumers rose 69.9%, according to Eurostat figures, while in the 27 European Union countries, the average rise over the same period was 19.9%. But in the euro area, the rise was just 13.1%.

All in all, it looks as though there will be plenty of belttightening in the years to come for just about everyone.

All-conquering Spain are ‘the greatest team of all’ SPAIN made footballing history on Sunday by retaining their European Championship crown, and being hailed as the greatest international team of all time.

They scored a magnificent 4-0 victory against Italy in Kiev, Ukraine, to seal a recordbreaking, third consecutive international title.

And how the fans celebrated, all over Tenerife, and long into the night. Just as they did throughout Spain, and hundreds of thousands of wellwishers lined the streets of Madrid to welcome back their heroes on Monday.

The Spanish side, playing without a striker against inform Italy, had been accused of negative play in the run-up to the final. But all that was forgotten as they delivered a perfect demonstration of why they have dominated the world of football for the past four years - the World Cup coming in between their two European triumphs, which was a record in itself. .

Coach Vicente del Bosque’s refusal to play a regular centreforward was vindicated as his highly-skilled players showed an unrivalled talent on the ball that confirmed them as the best team in the world.

Alan Hanson, the BBC pundit, said of their first-half display: “That’s the best football I have ever seen. I’d rate them even above the great Brazilians of 1970.”

And the Canary Islands had a say in the outcome.

Gran Canaria’s David Silva opened the scoring in the

DAREDEVILS who risk their lives competing in extreme sports, such as paragliding or rock-climbing, will now have to pay the price if they are injured in the Canary Islands.

From Sunday, a law brought in by the regional government means they will have to cough up for the emergency rescue services should they get into difficulties, and for any subsequent medical attention they may need.

And should someone actually die as a result of taking part in what the Canarian Government

Airlines to pass tax increase on to passengers AIRLINES operating in Spain are looking into how they can pass on the rise in air fares, recently approved by the Central Government, on tickets sold prior to the rise on July 1st that was included in the State Budget for 2012.

15th minute with a dazzling, header and Tenerife’s own Pedro Rodriguez, from Abades, provided fresh legs as his second-half substitute.

Jordi Alba doubled the lead just before half-time, sprinting on to Xavi’s perfect pass and pushing the ball past Italian keeper Buffon with all the ease of a seasoned striker.

In midfield, Xavi, Iniesta and Fàbregas lifted Spain’s majestic football to almost fever pitch, with what former England star Chris Waddle described as “a masterclass”.

Italy battled bravely to keep the score down in the second half, but their task was made even tougher after the 64th minute when, with all three substitutes on the field, midfielder Thiago Motta, who had been on the pitch just seven minutes, was wheeled off on a stretcher with a hamstring injury.

Fernando Torres, who scored the winning goal in the Euro 2008 final against Germany, came off the bench to score a slick third goal for Spain, before setting up their fourth for Chelsea team-mate and fellow

substitute Juan Mata. It almost certainly more than made up for his non-appearance in Chelsea’s European Champions League-winning side last month.

This was Italy’s first competitive defeat against Spain (excluding penalties) since the 1920 Olympics.

It was also the biggest winning margin ever in the European Championship final, with Torres claiming the golden boot for his three goals and an assist in the competition.

The all-conquering Spanish have now gone 29 games unbeaten in this event in a run stretching back eight years, to June 2004.

Tenerife Cabildo has officially congratulated Pedro for his part in Spain’s victory.

President Ricardo Melchior sent a message, saying: “Congratulations to Pedro and the other members of the team, among them another Canarian, David Silva.

They have made the people of Tenerife, the Canaries and Spain so happy.

“We are proud to have a Tenerife player among the best

in Europe and the World. Pedro once again proved he has quality, is quick and clever but, above all, he is a good person, an example of tenacity and humility, with ideal values for our young athletes, who dream of succeeding as he has.”

Melchior continued: “He is an illustrious son of the island of Tenerife, who bears our name to places far away, and we should all be happy for his success.”

Jesus Perez, the Minister of Sport, added: “Pedro is an example for all kids who play football. His football qualities are many, but even more so, his personality.

“There is no doubt that he is a person and an athlete whom our young people should look up to. I hope to continue to be able to boast that Tenerife has an athlete like him.”

Pedro made history in world football when, in 2009, he became the first player to score in all six official club competitions with his club, Barcelona during one season: Liga, Copa del Rey, Spain Super Cup, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup.

Risk-takers must pay up - if they fall down! deems to be a “risky· activity, then the person’s family will be liable for the costs of the rescue.

It is known as a “bailout tax” and covers a variety of sporting or recreational activities involving risk or danger.

An injured person will also be penalised if he or she is not wearing or using the correct equipment to suit the activity, or fails to comply with regulations or emergency signals. Charges for individuals can run as high as 6,000 euros, but

Canarian officials insist that no one injured while taking part in an extreme sport will be ignored.

They also say that payment will be required after the event only - voluntary or via legal means if necessary.

But there certainly won’t be any demands made at the hospital bedside.

Curiously, some regular tourist sports, such as scubadiving, quad-biking, canoeing and horse-riding, all fit into the bailout tax category.

People taking part in these and other so-called risky

activities are advised to have correct accident insurance to cover every eventuality.

A 45-year-old man could be the first to pay for using the emergency services. He was windsurfing at El Medano on Tuesday when he appeared to be in difficulties.

An onshore Civil Protection officer called 112 and the rescue involved a lifeboat, helicopter and police.

Windsurfing is one of the sports listed as hazardous under the new law, so the rescued man could be facing a bill of up to 2,500 euros.

They recognise that it will not be easy to shift the extra cost to customers who paid weeks or months in advance, but according to industry sources, the airlines could face losses of 100 million euros.

Iberia and Air Europa are among those considering what action to take, but the latter has already warned it will not be easy to pass on the increase to passengers who purchased their tickets before the rise in airport taxes.

According to sources at the airline Globalia Group, locating customers would involve effort and resources, and there will be passengers who choose to return the ticket.

The major airline associations, the Association of Spanish Companies

Transportation (Aceta), which has 85% of passengers carried in Spain, and the Airlines Association (ALA), are exploring all possible measures, including legal, to avoid the application of higher rates to tickets sold before July 1st, the day the new rates came into force.

Ryanair has already communicated through their website that they are waiting to know the exact extent of the rise. Once it is known how much increase applies to tickets sold before July 1st, the company will send emails to customers, telling them the extra amount to be paid if they want to fly with Ryanair.

Another airline that decided to take the increase to customers with tickets purchased in recent months is AirBerlin, but so far it has not decided how to take this measure into practice.

On the opposite side stands easyJet. The British low cost airline so far claims it will not apply the rise retrospectively.

Meanwhile, the Spanish Federation of Travel Agents (CEAV), chaired by Canarian Rafael Gallego, warned of the serious consequences that the higher fees will have for tourists. Travel agents fear that the increase will contribute to the loss of competitiveness for Spain as a world tourist destination.

Stabbing in Salytien A 37-year-old Italian man was arrested by the Adeje local police early this week, for allegedly stabbing the owner of a hotel establishment in the southern tourist town where his girlfriend works.

The incident took place around 23:30 hours on Monday night, when the accused arrived at the cafeteria where the assault occurred at Salytien in Playa de Las Americas.

Police sources say that the alleged assailant arrived at the scene after receiving a phone call from his partner.

Once there, a heated discussion kicked off between the owner and the accused, who said that

money owed had still not been paid to his girlfriend.

Events got out of hand when the Italian allegedly grabbed a knife from one of the tables and stabbed the victim As a result, the injured man was taken to a hospital in the south, where he was treated for three separate stab wounds, one of which required 10 stitches.

In the meantime his attacker fled and witnesses called the police.

A complete description of the man was provided and he was soon arrested near the beachfront at Playa de Las Americas. He offered no resistance to police. He is now in the hands of the National Police and awaits a court hearing.

Wedding reception is over in blaze of glory!

LISA ROBERTS and Elio Andrade were really fired up for their wedding last Thursday, but they never expected it to end in a blaze of glory!

A mystery fire, which broke out early that evening near Amarilla Golf Club, where they staged the reception, provided a dazzling finale to their day.

Elio, a drummer in local band Dark Wizards - and a singer/ organist in his own right - had earlier sung his way through the opening dance with his new bride, following their marriage at San Miguel Town Hall’s registrar office.

The fire, on waste ground just beyond the tip of Amarilla golf course on the “bendy” road leading down to the golf club, spread rapidly and eventually covered around 1,000 square metres.

It produced a spectacular blaze, which must have been seen for miles around. But no one was at risk as the site is in the middle of nowhere.

It is near the 17th tee and is used as a dumping ground for rubble and garden waste.

Some old sawn-down trees and pruned palm leaves were tinder dry because of the

heatwave and lack of rain for so long, and the fire was believed to have been started by a discarded cigarette end.

Five fire appliances from nearby Las Chafiras spent nearly six hours tackling the fire, which was still smouldering six days later!

Unfortunately, fire-fighters misunderstood directions from people who reported the blaze. They spent 30 minutes or so looking for it on neighbouring Golf del Sur, which must have been a frustrating start to a long night of toil for them.

But for Lisa and Elio, who live in San Miguel, it was an extra-special reason for them to remember their wedding day forever!

Rivero presents plans for Adeje and Arona THE CANARY Islands government presented its tourist modernisation plan, for the municipalities of Adeje and Arona, at the Magma Art and Conference Centre last week.

The presentation was attended by the President of the Canary Islands, Paulino Rivero, the Mayor of Adeje, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, and the deputy mayor of Arona, Antonio Sosa Carballo, as well as various government authorities, both local and island, along with a large number of entrepreneurs.

Paulino Rivero remarked several times during his

speech, “Right now, the challenge of modernising the tourism sector is the most important thing at hand, both from a social and institutional point of view,” and noted the

importance, “Of all pushing in the same direction in reference to public and private sectors.” He added that there are no obstacles to having the plans approved within the year.

For his part, the Mayor of Adeje supported the president’s words.

“I prefer the word dialogue, because in Adeje we’ve had many experiences in collaborating and combining efforts from institutions in conjunction with the council and we have had very positive results”.

As explained by Rafael Castilian, who heads up the Canarian Government’s Management and Territorial Planning and Environment (GESPLAN), the Plan for Tourism Modernisation in

Arona and Adeje will actually be two separate plans, one for each municipality. The first stage will be an indepth diagnosis of the two destinations, with surveys, analysis of infrastructure, hotels and apartments, urban spaces in order to understand the problems and know what needs strategic transformation.

This transformation strategy, said Castilian, will establish a tourism model consistent with the natural values of the area, canyons, mountains, rocks, and so on, to create an identity connected with the natural reality.

Regarding funding, Castilian said they are looking for new ways and also spoke of the need to generate investment companies.

a weekend in Barcelona. It proved to be another huge hit with the public, and the staff were kept busy at the ten-pin bowling alley.

Everyone achieving a score of more than 100 over the last few months was eligible for the final, competing for an array of stunning prizes.

A DJ from Tramps entertained not only the contestants but also the crowd, who came along to support the competition throughout the night.

The final, just like last year,

was ten-pin bowling with a difference because each player had to hit either bumper before striking the pins, which made for brilliant entertainment.

And it doesn’t end there.

Megabowl are planning more of these BIG prize nights with sensational pickings, including a world cruise and a weekend in Ibiza for the “closing parties”, which will include accommodation, flights and VIP entries.

Megabowl are promising

lots more of these incredible prizes, and they’ll all be up for grabs. Watch this space!

PRESIDENT of the Canary Islands, Paulino Rivero, has announced that he will be presenting a formal complaint to the European Commission against the oil exploration that has been authorised by the State Government, allowing Repsol to work in Canarian waters.

“The Canarian government has passed a resolution to file a formal complaint with the European Commission,” explained Rivero.

Rivero’s remarks came after news that the European Commission (EC) sees, “No reason” to doubt the environmental safeguards of test exploration and possible future oil fields off the coast of the Canary Islands.

Nevertheless, the EC has requested information from

the Spanish Government, as noted in a statement recorded

by Europa Press, the Official Journal of the European Union.

In that document, the Commission explains that it has received,“Many complaints about it but, for now, the Commission has no reason to believe that such surveys may contravene the existing EU legislation.”

Rivero has commented that the struggle to maintain the Canaries free from oil exploration still has, “A long haul. We will work with everything we have, from the legal point of view, from social and economic development and in regard to collaboration, and to non-viable surveys.”

Rivero also met with representatives of Greenpeace, who said, “The enormous potential of the Canary Islands for a sustainable economy in the future is based on natural resources.”

Also, Rivero, is scheduled to return to Brussels next week to seek, “Other fields of awareness among the European authorities,” he concluded.

NEWS IN BRIEF Bargains galore at sales TENERIFE’S annual summer sales campaign kicked off on Monday, with reductions as high as 70% on many items. Bargain-hunters were out first thing on opening day to grab the best deals, in a sale that will last until 1st September. It is hoped that the campaign will revive an industry which continues to blame the slump in retail sales on weak consumer-buying, austerity measures, cuts, unemployment, lack of credit and uncertainty.

University places still open THE registration period to sign up for one of the nine courses on offer at Adeje’s Summer University programme is coming to a close. Wednesday (11th July) is the last day to subscribe, and information regarding this year’s programme is available at www.adeje.es - or drop in to the Town Hall’s Culture Department.

The only place to chill out SEVEN out of 10 Spanish residents will be staying home this year for their annual holidays to cut costs, according to the survey Vacations 2012, conducted

by TNS Consultants. Here in Tenerife, 64% of those questioned said they would spend their summer holidays within Spain, and 28% said they would remain on the Island.

Our haven for property deals TENERIFE was this week promoted in Adeje as a haven for property investment to a group of 250 Taiwanese entrepreneurs, professionals and diplomats, involved in the 38th Annual Congress of Chinese living in Europe. Cabildo and Canary Islands Special Zone representatives told their Asian visitors that the Archipelago had the cheapest houses in Europe, the lowest tax burden in the European Union, the lowest corporate tax (4%), IGIC half that of VAT and a Free Zone in the capital’s port, where goods could be stored for free.

Islands’ bridge to South Africa JAVIER Gonzalez Ortiz, the Minister of Economy, Finance and Canarian Government Security, believes the European Commission must make an increased effort to use the Islands as a bridge to West Africa. Ortiz was speaking during Monday’s hearing about the status of the Canary Islands in the EU for the 2014-2020 period.

He said the European Union had embarked on a new framework for funding, and now was a crucial time to plan for the future development of Tenerife and the rest of the Canaries.

Cheaper deal for tax cheats THE Spanish Government intends to offer native tax evaders even more flexibility in its amnesty programme. Earlier this year, the PP government approved a decree allowing Spaniards with cash stashed away in offshore accounts and havens to get their tax affairs straightened out by paying 10% backtax on monies declared. Since no one has taken up the offer, however, the Government is now prepared to accept a lower figure.

30bn cuts on their way THE finishing touches on yet more cuts, to be announced next week, are being applied by the Spanish Government. The anticipated 30 billion euros of cuts are needed to comply with the deficit, and will include an increase in IVA, the lowering of budgets for civil servants, the freezing of pensions and a reduction in unemployment pay.

Palms Sports Bar Euro 2012 success CONGRATULATIONS to Palms Sports Bar, who were the lucky winners of the Oasis Fm/Canarian Weekly Euro 2012 Competition.

Palms Bar were the lucky business who drew Group C team Spain, in the recent competition.

Spain won Euro 2012, as a result so did the Palms, their prize is 3 months advertising in Oasis Fm and Canarian Weekly to the value of 6,400 euros.

Situated in San Eugenio Alto, just above Roy’s Pizza, Palms is a sports bar with pool tables, darts and full size snooker table, definitely worth a visit.

THE ADEJE Council, through the Municipal Services division, headed by Gonzalo Diaz Delgado, has reported that as of this week, rubbish collections will no longer be performed on Sundays and holidays.

With this measure, passed in a special sitting of the Town Council, the Adeje coffers will save over a million euros a year and users of the service will also benefit from an 8.39% reduction on their next bill.

Changes to Adeje rubbish pick-ups The Council is asking the citizens of the municipality for their cooperation with this new measure and not to fill their rubbish containers specifically on Saturday nights. They also remind the public that rubbish must be placed in the specified locations at the appropriate times, from 9:00 to 12:00.

Gonzalo Diaz Delgado noted, “The collection on

Sundays and holidays was not included in the contract with the company and subsequently they annexed the clause, which from the outset we said could be removed if necessary.”

He added,“At no time has the municipality of Adeje been against the workers of the company, but the collection of waste on Sundays and holidays accounted for

overtime pay. Therefore, the workers basic salary will not be diminished, nor will there be a reduction in the standard working hours.”

Finally, he concluded, “We are going through a complicated and difficult time, we must all make an effort to move forward, and we ask everyone to understand the need for these changes.”

Unemployment drops Los Menores now linked SPAIN’S unemployment figures for June dropped 2.10 per cent from the previous month, owing to a rise in summer contracts in the booming tourism sector, the Labour Ministry said, and Tenerife is no exception.

The numbers fell in the entire Canaries by 0.87%, bringing the total unemployed in the Archipelago to 290,664 and 4,615,269 for the whole country.

In a breakdown by province, Santa Cruz de Tenerife accounted for 136,132 unemployed, 943 fewer than in May, (-0.69%) – small but significant.

After months of grim news that saw Spain’s unemployment rate rise to 24 per cent of the active population, the latest figures are the biggest drop on record for a single month since 1996, when the government officially began

collecting reliable job data.

Despite the positive indicator, Tomás Burgos, the secretary of state for Social Security, said the government was still “cautious”.

“We have to wait to see if this becomes an overall tendency,” echoed Deputy Labour Minister Engracia Hidalgo.

In real terms, there were 98,853 fewer people out of work in June than in May. With the exception of agriculture, where unemployment rose 1.182 per cent, jobless rates fell in all areas, especially in the services, construction and industry sectors.

The Employment, Industry and Commerce Minister of the Canary Islands, Margarita Ramos, said she hopes that this trend will continue over the next three months, adding that there will be an increase in the implementation of active employment policies.

to new drainage system THE LOCAL council has finalised Adeje’s sanitation works in the neighbourhood of Los Menores, practically the only area left in the municipality that was waiting for adequate pipes, benefiting over 600 residents, according to data provided by the Town Hall.

This action means that the municipality of Adeje has achieved coverage of sewage networks to some 97 per cent of homes and properties in the municipality, with the remaining 3.0 per cent corresponding to small scattered rural areas.

These works, with an investment of 216,000 euros, have been implemented in three phases, comprising of the urban area of Los Menores along the access road to Taucho, Calle

Nicolasa, and others linking to the TF-1 motorway area.

Adeje City Council considers that drainage networks are one of the basic services and must be provided for urban level management and population centres.

According to the report on this project, Los Menores is a neighbourhood that has grown without any building controls in the previous decade, although the layout and configuration is straight along TF-583, to Taucho, and it was clearly in need of basic sewerage systems.

Councillor for Works in Adeje, Gonzalo Delgado, has confirmed that the municipality now has almost 97% of the sewers installed one of just a few areas in the Canaries with this high percentage.

hours Education cuts bite Opening are to change IT HAS just been announced this week that the Association of Parents of Students, (AMPAS,) will not receive any subsidy from the Ministry of Education for the next school year, putting at risk school activities that will especially affect the early drop off service.

A measure introduced four years ago by the Canarian

Government that allowed parents to leave their children early and facilitate the reconciliation of work and family life.

Against this bleak backdrop, the Tenerife Federation of Parents’ Associations, (Fitapa,) announced that it will, “step forward” and coordinate these activities.

The president of Fitapa, Eusebio Dorta, has spent a great deal of time meeting with the companies providing this service, presenting a financial offer that will hopefully allow the service to continue in September.

“We can’t offer much money, but we have the help of the

AMPAS from over 400 schools in Tenerife,” Dorta said.

The companies will be paid through contributions from families. “There is no other option,” says the Fitapa President, who adds that the price is “minimal” and uniform for all schools.

With the results of this round of negotiations, the Federation will provide the Department of Education with a detailed business plan that is “as tight as possible, economically, and will benefit the greatest number of students.”

In a meeting with the director general for Planning, Innovation and Education,

Georgina Molina, it was confirmed that the early reception will feature a, “zero budget”, as will extracurricular activities. Other complementary services will also experience diminished resources, such as school buses, with a 20% reduction in funding.

Dorta said the mood of parents’ associations regarding the cuts is “confusion”, a feeling that grows as each day brings more bad news, like the fact that the regional education authority has removed insurance covering students for any extracurricular activities.

THE government plans to provide a boost to the Country’s large tourist areas with a modification of trading rules that will allow widespread opening on Sundays and holidays.

Secretary of State for Trade, Jaime Garcia Legaz, announced that Tenerife, which already has special opening regulations, will fall into the new category, which will completely free up

opening times, in an effort to stimulate the sagging retail sector.

The Executive also plans to extend trading hours in 2013. The current minimum of 72 hours will rise to 90 hours per week and there will be increases to Sunday and holiday openings which will go up to at least ten days per year, compared to the eight that are currently in effect.

Hospitality sector talks at a standstill THE CCOO union has warned that the conflict in the Tenerife hospitality industry is “inevitable” after the recent negotiations resulted in employers toughening up on the contentious wage freeze issue, which workers label, “irresponsible”.

The CCOO said in a statement that the employer organisation Ashotel has hardened its proposal to impose the wage freeze in

2012 and offer a 0.5 per cent increase for 2013.

Furthermore, according to the union, employers have added cuts to holiday rights and sick pay.

Faced with this “provocation” unions have resumed their initial proposal of April 30th, saying the negotiation is at a standstill and thus any possibility of a deal now to avoid the planned demonstrations in August is unlikely.

Good marks required for university grants UNIVERSITY students who fail to pass half of their courses will have to return their grants, according to a new rule passed by the Cabinet last week.

Under the new legislation, which is due to come into force in the next academic year, students applying for full scholarships will also need the same grade in their final high-school exams as those applying for

college grants, which is 5.5 out of 10.

Making the announcement after the Cabinet meeting, Education, Culture and Sport Minister José Ignacio Wert, said the changes maintained the same income bands, but would introduce, “A prudent and staggered amendment of academic performance requirements.”

The new move comes on top of a large-scale rise in university fees due to be applied when the new academic year begins in the autumn.

Groups call on Arona Mayor to step down IN a ruling that could end the political career of the Nationalist Mayor of Arona, Jose Alberto Gonzalez, the Provincial Court of Santa Cruz has sentenced him to four-and-a-half years disqualification, in a case of corruption that has led to four neighbourhood associations in the southern district to call for his immediate resignation.

The leader of the local authority, “Has lost the confidence of all residents after being convicted by a judge, and he is not entitled to continue in charge, and should leave immediately,” said neighbourhood representatives from the associations Almácigo in Los Cristianos, Sol del Sur in Las Galletas and the Civic Platform of Playa de las Americas.

They claim Mayor Gonzalez, “By not leaving, is challenging the decision of the judge

and going against what the Nationalists have always said, that is, that they abide by judicial decisions.

“Continuing as leader in Arona is hurting the Coalicion Canaria (CC) and the image of the Municipality, because we’re not sure that public representatives of local governments and the like will want to negotiate with someone who has been convicted and disqualified by the Audiencia Provincial de Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

“Moreover, if the mayor now wanted to sit down and discuss any problems in the neighbourhood we could not attend, since he no longer represents us and has no legitimate power to make decisions. We do not deal with corrupt individuals,” said representatives.

“We do not know what his motives are for clinging to office, but we consider the sentencing court has been clear, very clear.

“If Jose Alberto Gonzalez wants to appeal, then he should do so, but he must do so after giving up his current position and acknowledge the importance of Arona’s public image.”

Southern beaches have received several awards ARONA’S much celebrated Las Vistas beach in Los Cristianos, has received yet another award, this time from AENOR, recognising its accessibility for disabled persons.

AENOR, the Spanish Association for Standardisation, has awarded the certificate that officially certifies the bathing area, the promenade and the tourist information office of Las Vistas as an environment of global accessibility.

With this award, the Arona beach ranks as one of the top five in Spain in terms of removing barriers to access for disabled guests.

But this is not the only

triumph for coasts in the South.

The beaches at El Medano, La Jaquita and La Tejita are now waving the much sought-after Blue Flag.

This award is given based on water quality, safety, general service delivery and environmental education. This year, Granadilla de Abona has a new blue flag beach in La Jaquita.

Councillors from General Services, Environment and Security, Juan Rodriguez Bello, Jacob Donate and Guacimara Gonzalez Gonzalez, respectively, have made a significant effort to keep these symbols of quality in bathing areas of the municipality, writing and running Coastal Improvement Plans on reorganisation and cleaning, management practices and environmental quality and

safety, with an investment of more than 80,000 euros, “essential to our beaches and the quality of services that we want to provide,” they said in a joint statement.

Among the accomplishments and actions taken, are the cleaning services, the increased number of lifeguards, the first time regulation of uses for swimming and sport and the establishment of the necessary foundations to consolidate future water sports and a water sports centre, thus fulfilling the socialist manifesto.

The deputies are extremely satisfied with the results and say they will continue working along this line for Granadilla de Abona, so that the ‘Medano Brand” remains a benchmark in the Canary Islands and abroad, and an ideal destination for local residents and visitors.

Duty-Free licences for sale SPANISH airport operator Aena has announced that it has begun the sale of licences to run duty-free shops at 26 sites, predicting that operators could see total annual sales of as much as 700 million euros.

Page 10

According to Aena’s statement, Spanish and international companies have already shown some interest and have until July 23rd to make an offer.

The licences will start in 2013 and run to October 2020, except for some later start dates such as here in the Canary Islands.

The shops are currently run

by Italian company Autogrill’s World Duty Free Group

(Aldeasa) and Swiss group Dufry. Five firms, including The Nuance Group and Aelia, part of Lagardere, have shown interest, Aena sources said.

Duty-free shops in Spanish airports generated 535 million euros of sales for operators last year and 161 million euros for Aena, which ended 2011 with a loss of 220 million euros and 12 million euros debt. Aena expects to return to profit in 2014.

EuroVegas causing smoking dilemma THE BATTLE for EuroVegas, the proposed casino and hotel resort modelled on Las Vegas that is coming to Spain, has become a rather smoky matter for the Popular Party (PP) government.

The issue over whether to change the tobacco laws, allowing casino patrons to light up at the slot machines, is putting many PP members in uncomfortable positions, and will eventually force the national government to decide on whether smokers should indeed have certain rights.

On a second front, restaurant and nightclub owners, who have been against the smoking law since it went into effect on January 2nd, 2011, say that if Las Vegas Sands Corporation CEO Sheldon Adelson gets his way for his patrons, they want the same treatment.

And they could get it.

Already onboard is Ignacio González, the Madrid deputy regional premier, who told reporters during a recent news conference that if tobacco is sold legally, citizens should be free to smoke all they want and businesses should be allowed to provide them with smoking areas.

His comments come on the

06 July - 12 July 2012

heels of controversial remarks by his boss, Esperanza Aguirre, who said, “Evidently, the smoking ban will be changed” to accommodate the EuroVegas project.

González explained that the Madrid PP government was always against the antismoking law introduced by the previous Socialist administration of Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, a prohibition he called “cynical.”

“If you believe tobacco is an absolutely negative thing, you have to ban its sale. What you can’t do is have it both ways,” he said.

After assuring reporters that there were no plans to modify the nationwide ban, Health Minister Ana Mato, has now left the matter open to discussion.

“I never close the door to any issue. I am always open to dialogue. I think the most important thing is to talk about issues, and listen to the arguments,” she said in Congress.

During his campaign last year, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy suggested he was willing to modify or even rescind the law, to allow smokers to light up in public places. The remarks were published alongside a

photograph of the PP leader enjoying a cigar. But by January of this year he said the law would stand as it was.

Now along comes EuroVegas and the chance for either Madrid or Barcelona to host the potentially lucrative tourism project: a huge development of casinos, hotels and convention centres that is likely to be a boost for whichever local economy wins out.

Adelson, whose idea is to build his dream resort facility on Spanish land, wants the government to change certain laws, including some tax codes and the smoking prohibition.

In Barcelona, the regional government says it is willing to introduce “a special law” to assist the casino operators but when asked about it spokesman Francesc Homs didn’t want to give any details.

It would be similar to what the regional government introduced to help in the development of PortAventura theme park during the early 1990s. “There were a lot of people who were opposed to PortAventura, and now no one says anything,” Holm said.

But the anti-smoking law has been a key issue in the battle

for EuroVegas in Madrid.

“We are seeing Mrs Aguirre getting more ridiculous each day,” said Tomás Gómez, leader of the Madrid Socialist Party (PSM), who is against the entire EuroVegas project.

“Now she is challenging her own government with the

smoking law. “Mr Adelson came, promising to bring a lot of money from the United States. But what he has ended up doing is asking for loans from our banks, which instead should be financing Spanish businesses and helping

Spanish families obtain credit.” Michael Leven, operations director for Las Vegas Sands, said he met with the representatives of about 40 Spanish banks in New York last week to see about obtaining help with financing.

Ecuadorians move from Spain to UK ECUADORIANS who have been living in Spain, and who have obtained Spanish nationality, and who now find there is no work, are moving on to Britain.

London has seen many Ecuadorian immigrants for some decades, but now more are travelling from Spain.

They are called ‘españoletas’ by their countrymen, who think they are going to Britain to take away their jobs.

Website www.eluniverso. com spoke to an immigrant, Aida Mendoza, born in

Zamora, Equador, who has established a Latin goods shop in the Elephant & Castle, in Southwark, London.

She has owned the business for 14 years, and says that new faces are now arriving every day. ‘More men than women, and from time to time a child’, she says. All of them stop to look at her house rentals offers taped to the window.

Many Ecuadorians now live in this working class district of London despite the difficulty of learning a new language.

The webpage also talks about Wilson Andrade, who was a lorry driver in Alicante in Spain until May 2011. Now

he shares a tiny room with a Nicaraguan in London, where he obtained work as a cleaner, working from 4am to 10pm for 400 pounds a week.

Some Ecuadorians have benefited from temporary work linked to the London Olympics.

However, immigrants to the UK can only access social services after six months in the country.

They are helped by an Ecuadorian immigrant help organisation called Senami. Spokesman Jorge Moreno said ‘There are more possibilities in London for work than in Spain, but it’s not El Dorado’.

U-turn Government is barking up wrong tree THE BRITISH Government has added another U-turn to its ever-growing list by confirming that England’s forests will not be sold off.

The coalition’s bid to offload more than 250,000 hectares of publicly-owned forest met with a furious backlash last year, forcing ministers to drop their plans.

Proposals to sell off 15% of the woodlands to raise £100 million, had already been announced.

It was the most the Government could dispose of under current legislation, but when news emerged of plans to privatise the remaining 85% of the forest

estate, which makes up 18% of England’s woodland, it provoked an outcry.

The proposals included the sale of leaseholds for commercially-valuable forests to timber companies in a bid to raise up to £250 million, as well as measures to allow communities, charities and even local authorities to buy or lease woods.

There were also plans to transfer well-known “heritage” woods, such as the New Forest and the Forest of Dean, into the hands of charities.

Reaction to the plans was swift, widespread and almost wholly negative. A grassroots

campaign sprung up, with protests in local woods perceived to be at risk, and more than half-a-million people signed an online petition to save the forests.

The issue of public access became huge, with fears that while footpaths for walkers were protected by legislation, any greater access currently granted by the Forestry Commission including for bicycles and horse riding - would go if the land went to private companies.

In addition, wildlife groups warned that the opportunity to restore thousands of hectares of conifer forests

to the ancient woodland or heathland sites they were planted over would be lost if the woods ended up in private hands.

The Government said its proposals to sell the forests on a leasehold basis, which meant they could stipulate conditions, would ensure access and wildlife were protected, but it failed to reassure critics.

The idea that communities could have first right to buy their local woodland also fell on deaf ears, and the idea of people having to buy forests which were already theirs merely inflamed the situation.

RBS banking woes go on CUSTOMERS of RBS and NatWest, not content with the banking system being dogged by “technical problems”, are in the firing line again.

Millions were unable to access their accounts for more than a week as a new system failed to operate properly, which meant for many that their monthly payments, such as mortgages, did not go out on time.

Now they are complaining that their loan payments have been taken out twice, leaving their accounts short of cash and, possibly, triggering overdraft charges.

It is another huge embarrassment for the beleaguered RBS Group, which includes NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank, and the crisis which has seen millions unable to access their cash is still rumbling on.

RBS, which is investigating the hitch that occurred on Tuesday night, said an initial diagnosis appeared to show the problem affected loan payments only.

The bank added that payments on some One Account mortgages - a type of offset account - may appear

06 July - 12 July 2012

to have been taken twice. But, say officials, it is an error with the bank’s display and, in fact, only one payment has been withdrawn.

Some customers have also complained of mortgage valuation fees being taken twice, but RBS chiefs say: “We will put things right.”

They pledge that if payments have been taken incorrectly, any charges incurred will be refunded.

A spokesperson added: “We apologise to any customers experiencing problems. We said last week that we expected to see a few bumps in the road for customers as we get things fully back on track.

“Any customers experiencing problems should contact our call centre, or visit their local branch, and we will put things right.”

Millions of NatWest, RBS and Ulster Bank customers have been caught in the crisis, which began nearly two weeks ago.

Wages and other payments did not show up in their accounts because many balances were not updated for days. Swathes of money transfers failed to go through, either.

In addition, vast numbers

of employees were not paid if their companies used an RBS Group bank, regardless of their current account provider.

The problem has still not been resolved for Ulster Bank’s 1.9 million customers, with no end in sight.

RBS and NatWest say theyr were “99% back to normal” early last week, while Think Banking, which uses the RBS payments system, returned to normal last Wednesday.

MoneySavingExpert.com creator Martin Lewis said: “It seemed things were settling

down for the RBS Group, barring the poor customers of Ulster Bank, but these latest reports could see people’s finances crippled again.

“A double payment could leave many tripping into their overdraft and short of funds.

We’re about to hit the third

week of this banking mess, and it simply isn’t good enough.”

He added: “If you have a mortgage or loan with RBS/ NatWest, check your account and consider making plans in case a double payment is taken. If it has, contact the bank immediately to report it.”

Armed police cause motorway havoc after tip-off from coach HUGE queues of traffic built up on both sides of the M6 yesterday (Thursday) after armed police surrounded a Londonbound coach closed all lanes in both directions.

The incident happened on the toll road between junctions 3 and 4 at Weeford Park Plaza, near Lichfield, West Midlands, after a passenger on the Megabus was apparently seen pouring liquid into a box, which created fumes. The police were alerted at 8.20am.

Police sources said the incident was not linked to counter-terrorism raids in

London, and the coach had not been stopped as part of a planned operation.

The 48 people on board the Preston-London coach were later switched to a substitute vehicle, but only after standing on the hard shoulder for several hours.

They eventually continued their journey to Victoria Coach Station when the M6 reopened early in the afternoon.

To add to the motorists’ confusion, tailbacks stretched along the M6 to junction 13, exacerbated by an accident on the same motorway.

Police said the coach was

on the hard shoulder and had “stopped of its own accord”.

A spokeswoman for Megabus, which is operated

by Stagecoach, said: “We are assisting police with their inquiries into an allegation made against a passenger who was travelling on board one of our services.”

Various emergency service vehicles were parked at the toll plaza, about 200 metres from the coach, and seven police vans arrived at the scene shortly before 11am.

Police surrounded the cordoned-off area, which spread across one lane of the toll road. Police dogs and

their handlers were also seen walking nearby.

Several other cordonedoff areas could also be seen, along with what appeared to be bright yellow tents on the other side of the toll plaza.

The incident happened just hours after an unrelated operation in which five men and a woman were arrested on suspicion of acts concerning terrorism.

The suspects, aged 18-30, were arrested by armed police in a pre-planned operation at locations across London and taken into custody at a police station.

30 years for mum who murdered her children THE 45-year-old British woman, who killed her two children in a Costa Brava hotel, has been sentenced to 30 years in jail.

Lianne Smith, who suffocated Rebecca, five, and 11-month-old Daniel with a plastic bag, in May 2010, had been hiding out in Lloret de Mar with her partner Martin - also called Smith.

He was a wanted paedophile, and TV hypnotist, who hanged himself in January this year while serving a 16-year sentence.

That happened after Martin had been told about the death of his two young children. He had been found guilty of sex crimes after abusing his stepdaughter, Sarah, over a 10-year period.

The couple went on the run from the UK in 2007 when Martin was facing those charges, but he was later arrested in the province of Girona and taken back to England.

Lianne, of Lichfield, Staffordshire, said she was

terrified of losing custody of the children if the Social Services took them away from her, following their father’s arrest.

Her defence counsel, at Girona Provincial Court in north-east Spain, claimed she was suffering from severe pathological depression and a psychotic disorder which “seriously affected her capacity” to understand the nature and quality of her actions.

But a psychiatric report ruled out both mental disorder and the nocustody fear.

Lianne confessed to her crime immediately.

She was said to have spent the night with her children’s lifeless bodies before, visibly shaken, she asked the hotel receptionist to call the police, to whom she confessed to the murders.

Forensic psychiatrist Itziar Idiaquez Alberdi said during the trial: “She believed the children would be taken away from her and institutionalised. For her, this was worse than death.

“She had spoken about this with her partner, and they had talked about taking their own lives if they were ever separated.”

Eric Sykes… death of a legendary comic genius ERIC SYKES, one of the most endearing comic actors of his generation, died peacefully on Wednesday at the age of 89 following a brief illness.

In wide-ranging career, he will probably be remembered best for his long-running Sykes And A... TV series with Hattie Jacques.

His 1964 sketch The Plank, with Tommy Cooper, not only hit the spot with his TV fans but was later extended to become a slapstick success on the wide screen and is still viewed as classic comedy.

Sykes was still appearing on the West End stage into his 80s, even though he became almost totally deaf and nearly blind. But he was much more than an actor.

He was also a hugelysuccessful comedy scriptwriter, delivering for the likes of leading funny-men Peter Sellers, Frankie Howerd and Stanley Unwin, as well being a novelist, film

director and a producer.

His humour was always gentle and warm-hearted, and he generally steered away from smut. Sykes had little in common with the modern, “alternative” comedians, whose repertoire simply didn’t appeal to him.

Sykes was born in Oldham in 1923 and served as a wireless operator in the Mobile Signals Unit, Royal Air Force, from 1941 until after the end of the Second World War. Like many comics of his generation, he was introduced to showbusiness during his wartime service.

On demob, he tried to forge a career in comedy, but found little work.

As luck would have it, he met Flight Lieutenant Bill Fraser, a friend from his RAF

days, who was enjoying some success on the London stage.

Fraser asked Sykes to produce some scripts for him and before long, he found himself in huge demand as a showbusiness writer.

He was soon writing for hit BBC radio shows, like Educating Archie and Variety Bandbox. He then became one of TV’s first fledgling scriptwriters and appeared in a number of TV variety shows, and produced scripts for The Goon Show, co-writing 24 episodes with Spike Milligan.

During his collaboration with Hattie Jacques, which lasted until shortly before her death in 1980, Sykes was involved in a number of other projects, including a controversial comedy show called Curry And Chips, in which he played opposite a

blacked-up Milligan. He was granted the Freedom of the City of London in 1988, but already he was becoming deaf, although it seemed to have little effect on the quality or quantity of his work.

He was still working into his late 70s, starring with Nicole Kidman in the acclaimed film The Others, and he also starred in the hilarious West End farce Caught In The Net in which, despite his years and his increasing blindness, he played an immensely active role.

He had also starred in scores of West End hits and was eagerly sought after by leading casting directors.

Other films in which he appeared or wrote or both, included Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines (1965), Monte Carlo Or Bust (1969), Boys In Blue (1982), and Splitting Heirs (1993).

He also had two novels published in the late 1990s - The Great Crime of Grapplewick and Smelling Of Roses.

Whenever he was asked about retiring, he always said that he enjoyed doing what he did so much that he didn’t regard it as work at all.

In 1952, he married Eith Eleanore Milbrandt, with whom he had one son and three daughters. He was awarded an OBE in 1986.

His manager, Norma Farnes, said on Wednesday: “Eric Sykes, 89, star of TV, stage and films, died peacefully this morning after a short illness.

His family were with him.”

United seek £64m to lower their horrendous liabilites MANCHESTER UNITED, the richest football club in the world, are bidding to raise more than 100 million dollars (£64 million) by selling shares in the club.

To that end, the Premier League club have applied to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and filed documents with the US government’s Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday.

Share prices have yet to be set, but United will use the money raised from the flotation to reduce their debts.

The flotation would leave control over the club in the hands of the Glazer family, the billionaire US sports investors who bought it in 2005 for

Page 14

1.47bn dollars (£940m), which left debts of £423 million.

United sought a one-billiondollar (£640 million) flotation on the Singapore stock market last year, but the move was halted because of the volatile global economy. With the reorganisation, however, the team would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Manchester United Ltd, a newly-formed holding company based in the Cayman Islands. Duncan Drasdo, chief executive of the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust (MUST), welcomed the plan to reduce the club’s debt, but he questioned the value of the shares on offer, compared with those owned by the Glazers.

Mr Drasdo said: “A minority shareholding with inferior voting rights and no dividends is going to severely impact on the attraction to both financial and supporter investors.

“However, if it turns out that the vast majority of the proceeds are used to pay off the debt, that is certainly something MUST would welcome, and entirely vindicates our long-standing position that the Glazers’ debt was damaging our club.”

In April Manchester United was valued by Forbes magazine at 2.24bn dollars (£1.43bn), making it the most valuable club in world football for the eighth year running.

CRIMESTOPPERS seek citizens’ help in Spain and Morocco to arrest the suspected murderer of a British family.

British national Anxiang Du is wanted in connection with the brutal murder of Mr and Mrs Ding and their two teenage daughters in their home in Northamptonshire in 2011.

Yesterday, (Thursday) in Madrid, Detective Chief Inspector Tom Davies, from Northamptonshire Police, called on citizens to assist Crimestoppers and Law Enforcement agencies in the search for Anxiang Du, who is believed to be hiding in northern Morocco, having travelled there from southern Spain.

On Friday 29 April 2011, Jifeng ‘Jeff’ Ding, his wife Ge ‘Helen’ Chui and their two daughters, 18 years old Xing and Alice, 12 years old, were brutally murdered in the home in Northampton. The suspected murderer, Anxiang Du, 53, from Coventry, was declared the only suspect soon after the discovery of the

Page 16

murders and has since evaded capture. At a press conference in the British Embassy in Madrid, DCI Davies, leading the investigation, said: “We acknowledged at an early stage that Anxiang Du had the opportunity to leave the UK soon after the murders, in the 3 to 4 day period before he was declared a suspect.

We now know that Anxiang Du left the UK soon after the homicides and travelled from Victoria bus station, London on a bus to Paris, Gallieni. After this, he travelled through France into Spain (again

probably by using public transport). His final known journey was to Algeciras in Spain where he caught a ferry to Tangier, Morocco.

"We believe that having made his way to Morocco, Mr Du may still be in the Tangier area. As a fugitive, he may take any opportunity to flee, using the routes or countries he is familiar with. We know that Du has previously spent time in Spain and is comfortable in the country.

"We have been working with the police and law enforcement agencies in Spain and Morocco and they are in possession of the required extradition papers, should Mr Du be located and arrested. This should mean that he can then be brought back to the UK to stand trial.

"We have also been working with and the Serious and Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), Interpol and CPS International to ensure we have the support of the International Law Enforcement Agencies who are currently focused on locating Anxiang Du. "I would like to thank Spanish and Moroccan law

enforcement authorities for their support and collaboration in the operation to locate and detain Mr Du. "We are now asking members of the public who are or will be using the ferries from Algeciras to Tangier during the Campaña del Paso de Estrecho to be aware of our manhunt, together with up to £25,000 reward available in the UK for information leading to his arrest and conviction. We would ask members of the public to

contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 900 555 111 from Spain, so that we can bring justice to the families of the victims. Alternatively people can also contact their local police if they have any information.”

On Sunday, 25th March, three UK Police officers travelled to China with the aim of speaking with associates of the suspect for any information they may have in identifying people who could have assisted

Du in his escape. The trip to China also afforded the force the opportunity to meet the family of the victims, update them on the investigation and pass on the force’s deepest sympathies for their loss, in person.

Recent developments in the case saw the arrest of four people last week, on suspicion of conspiracy to assist an offender.

They were all released on bail pending further enquiries.

Accion del Sol News

Community News AS the summer holidays approach, Accion del Sol’s intake of dogs increases dramatically.

Some owners don’t want to pay for boarding kennels while they enjoy their holidays, so many more dogs are dumped on the streets.

Last Friday alone, 10 dogs were brought into the refuge from the Protection Civil at Arona and Granadilla.

All the animals were full of fleas and ticks, and, like any newcomers brought into the refuge, they had to be quarantined.

That was to prevent them from infecting the other 180 dogs at the refuge while they received their initial care and treatment.

On arrival, strays are immediately inspected by Accion’s resident vet for any life-threatening injuries or illnesses which require immediate treatment.

They are also checked for microchips, which can enable the vet to trace their owners.

Then it’s off to the shower room, where the dogs are washed in a special solution, which immediately kills all fleas and ticks.

They are then put in their quarantine kennels, fed and watered and allowed to settle into their temporary new home.

In the days that follow, the dogs receive all the necessary veterinary care and vaccinations.

They are tested and treated for heartworm, fleas and ticks, micro-chipped (if necessary) and passported, castrated and socialised into small groups, where they live together until new owners can be found for them.

Please call 922 778 630 if you want to learn more about Accion del Sol, or if you would like to help out in any way at the sanctuary.

By the way, towels and blankets are always needed for the dogs if you have any to spare.

The refuge is situated at the Poligono Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 on the TF1, beside the ITER windmills, and it is open to the public Monday-Friday from 3-6pm.

Dream holiday for special kids

A GROUP of children and carers from different areas on the Island met up at Tenerife South airport last Friday for the start of their “Dream Holiday”.

They form part of the Tenerife Sur Lions initiative to take children from Tenerife to the UK for a holiday as a section of an ongoing programme, started 17 years ago.

Although the flight was delayed for four hours, nothing could dampen the sheer delight of what was, for many of the youngsters, their very first

tip in an aeroplane. They are now coming towards the end of their 10-day break at Pontin’s Brean Sands, Somerset, where they were looking forward to a full programme of visits, plus nightly entertainment at the holiday camp.

Their schedule included trips to the Wookey Hole caves and Paper Mill, Chedder Gorge;

Secret World (wildlife rescue charity) and Minehead Steam Railway, Weston-Super Mare.

They were also been invited to watch a special lifeboat launch by the RNLI at Burnham on Sea. Local Lions’ Clubs in the Somerset liaised with the group and provided the transport for the daily trips out.

Wingate youngsters offer their own slice of helping hands

Presidential trio: Susan and Ralph Solomon, with new Nottingham President Diane Burke

After you, Madame President!

Ralph takes over from his wife THERE were no surprises at San Miguel Lions Club’s President’s Night at the Oasis Restaurant, in Costa del Silencio, last Saturday.

As expected, Ralph Solomon took over the President’s role from his wife, Susan, who had held the position for two years, stepping to the breach unexpectedly for another term in 2011. She

06 July - 12 July 2012

now steps into Ralph’s shoes as secretary.

It was another successful evening for the Lions, thanks to hosts Rita and Olive, with entertainment provided by popular singer Colin Stevens.

Ralph, who has worked hard in his twin roles as social secretary and secretary, paid tribute to his wife, saying: “It gives me great pleasure to take over the reins from Susan.

“She has built us up over the last two years to become

a top-class, successful Lions Club, which is well respected and supported in the community.

“As well as all the awards handed out to members and helpers, we also had the honour of Twinning with Nottingham City Lions.”

The formal presentation was carried out by Susan and Ralph Solomon, together with Nottingham City Lions’ new President Mrs. Diane Burke, supported by her husband, Rory.

LIZ MONTAGUE, who runs the Helping Hands in Tenerife charity, has been presented with a 429-euro donation

by Wingate School Juniors.

The youngsters raised the money by holding a “Mufti Day” (non-uniform day) and cake sales, and it will be forwarded to the Guardyl Children’s Home in Granadilla.

Liz spoke to the children about her charity work for

Helping Hands. She explained the importance of raising funds for the children’s home, and how the kids there benefit from local support.

Pictured are teachers Mrs Suggitt and Mrs Estevez with pupils from Years 3, 4 and 5.

Helping Hands are next in action at the Winter Gardens, Golf del Sur, for a Fun Bowls Day on 18th August, from 1pm.

All proceeds will be shared between the Guardyl Home and the Martha II Centre for cerebral palsy children, in the North.

Everyone is welcome, and

novices will be accompanied by a bowler. A scrumptious buffet, prepared by the Rendezvous Restaurant, follows at 6.30pm, with many raffle prizes to be won.

Tickets cost 12.50 euros, and entertainment will be provided by Suzi Q and Jo Cassidy.

For more details, contact Liz (661 274 281), or Dot (664 374 626).

THE

RESIDENTS' CHOICE!

Thelma’s Gypsy Girls Sunday, 8th July, Channel 4, 9pm Dressmaker Thelma Madine, from Big Fat Gypsy Weddings, has decided she wants to give something back to the people who put her on the map.

In this new series she takes the decision to employ ten new trainees, all of whom are gypsies or travellers. For the gypsy girls it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. But for existing staff it feels like a serious upheaval, and for Thelma it could be out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Liverpudlian dressmaker Thelma Madine’s wedding gowns are on every young traveller bride’s wish list – the dresses themselves became stars in their own right in Big Fat Gypsy Weddings.

Little did she know that teaching the young traveller brides her skills and how to make dresses themselves, she faced her biggest, fattest challenge yet.

Mrs Madine found the girls had very few social skills, they clung to her like much younger children, rarely knowing what day of the week it was and were, for the most part, illiterate.

Mrs Madine launched her fashion academy in her Liverpool shop as a thank-you to the girls who have contributed to her success, selecting 10 inexperienced teenagers and endeavoring to teach them how to make a spectacular wedding dress of their own in just six months.

She said: ‘There are so many girls who want a job. Maybe they don’t work because they’ve never had that opportunity. I really do want to do this. ‘The travellers have helped put me where I am today and this is my way of giving something back.’

Entertainment in Tenerife Email: john.ashford@canarianweekly.com

Music of the Sneers WHEN I think about it, and I often do, singing can be heard in many non-human species.

With some animals, it’s even a group activity and a pleasure to listen to. For instance, Monkees, Beatles, Gorillaz, Dixie Chicks, Scorpions, Eagles and Arctic Monkeys have all been known to perform as a “band”.

Boomtown Rats, however, are so tuneless that they should be avoided like the plague.

Roller-coaster In 1998, Andy Lynch began compèring at the thenfamous Princess Di’s bar in The Patch, Las Americas, and was the first of three compères every night!

It was there that he began singing Boyzone and Ronan Keating tracks until, just one year later, his tribute show was fully formed.

He admits to seeing a lot of changes on the entertainment scene since then: English radio starting off in a disused garage with Barry Noble and Roscoe; the Tenerife Entertainment Awards, growing into the showcase it is today, and Paul Stone morphing from a barechested heartthrob into “a middle-aged rocker with his shirt tucked in his pants” (his words, Paul).

Andy’s weekly gigs are: Mondays: Colon Beach and Highland Paddy Tuesdays: Jersey Cow and The Irish Rover Wednesdays: Wigan Arms and St. Eugens Fridays: The Theatre and Amanda’s Sundays: Pearly Gris Hotel/ Beverley Hills Hotel (alternate weeks), and Harvey’s Bar. Mass appeal Hailing from Boston, Mass, Phil Gibson has performed in New York, LA, Miami, Montreal and most European countries, appearing with such artists as Edwin Starr, The Weather Girls, Jimmy James and, notably, Robbie Williams.

He was one half of the duo The Love Twins, of which the single Miami Heat was a big hit in the early-80s’ discos.

Phil’s experience is diverse: live shows, studio work, voiceovers and commercials, and his Motown show is always much in demand.

Most recently, he has

Page 22

recorded a chill-out dance track which has been accepted for airplay on Radio One. He has a professional stage show guaranteed to entertain audiences - and leave them wanting more.

No Regrets Brad Chermside gave up his job as a PE teacher to work in Cyprus and Menorca, before landing in Tenerife with his perfected Rock DJ homage to Robbie Williams.

It’s a light-hearted, relentless tribute to Robbie, which involves audience participation without comprising the quality of the vocals or songs.

His aim is grab the crowd’s attention for the duration of the show and give them one of the best nights of their holiday.

Let Brad entertain you at: Mondays: Bahia Beach, Puerto Colon (9.45pm); Amanda’s, Torviscas (11.15pm) Tuesdays: Costa Gigantes Hotel (9pm) El Canario, Las Americas (10.30pm) Wednesdays: H10 Big Sur Hotel, Los Cristianos (9.45pm); Java Bar, Los Cristianos (11pm) Fridays: Luabay Hotel, Torviscas or Sol Tenerife, Las Americas (10pm); Jersey Cow, Las Americas (11pm).

Saturdays: Eurobar, Costa del Silencio (6pm) Ye Old Ocean, Fañabe (10pm); Bar 39, Los Cristianos (11.15pm) Sundays: Red Lion, Los Cristianos (10pm) Restaurante Margarita (11pm) Follow me Concentrating on Soul and Motown, Lee St Lawrence has been singing for over 30 years and, strictly speaking, should be very tired by now. He has fronted various bands and also performed with full orchestral backing on many enjoyable occasions.

During the 90s, he was one half of the successful and hugely popular duo Shades, who went on to make a number of appearances as members of Ray Lewis’ Drifters.

Following this, Lee spent two years with his Lionel Richie tribute show, which took him all over the UK. Since 2007, he has lived and worked in Tenerife, building an estimable following and resulting in his nomination for Male Vocalist of the Year on two occasions.

Lee performs six nights a week at the Soul Suite, Parque de la Paz; Tuesdays at Volare, Golf del Sur (from 11pm), and Fridays at the Thistle & Dragon, Los Cristianos (10). Come on over to Lee’s place.

Andrew Lloyd Webber embarks on a nationwide search on ITV1 for the next rock superstar.

The prize on offer is a unique opportunity to play the title role of Jesus in the first ever UK arena tour of Jesus Christ Superstar.

And the final decision will be in the hands of the British public.

This Summer on ITV1 will see the launch of ‘Superstar’– a brand new nationwide talent search led by Andrew Lloyd Webber looking for a rock superstar to play the title role of Jesus.

The winner’s life-changing prize will be the leading role in a new arena tour of the legendary rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar which will open at London’s O2 arena.

Auditions have taken place across the country in London, Dublin, Belfast, Manchester, Glasgow and Cardiff. Melanie C and Jason Donovan joined Andrew during the early stages of the talent search and assisted as contender numbers were whittled down.

Amanda Holden, the show’s host has been on hand throughout the later stages of the competition getting to know each of the contenders and helping them through the process.

The most promising new talent that has impressed Andrew and his casting team will then go through to the live shows. Dawn French and Jason Donovan will join Andrew as judges for the live shows.

But ultimately it will be up to the British public to decide who they want to be his next Superstar and their Jesus.

Faster, Higher, Stronger: Stories Of The Olympic Games - 100m BBC 2, 7pm Taking its title from the Olympic motto, this series explores the history of the modern Games through the stories of extraordinary athletes who have pushed performance to the limit and beyond in pursuit of gold.

Faster, Higher, Stronger examines how the most anticipated and hyped event in any Olympics - the 100 metres final - has been run faster and faster. By men like Jim Hines, the first to run the race in under 10 seconds; Carl Lewis, the best finisher of them all; and Usain Bolt, whose massive stride allows him to eat up the track.

Sprinters run the 100m in distinct phases and the programme reveals what they are and how athletes - running at up to 28 miles an hour - have to master each of them to win.

Britain’s Alan Wells recalls the dip at the line that won him gold in Moscow in 1972.

Combining expert eyewitness testimony, rare historic archive, period reconstruction and special filming techniques to slow down and analyse performance, this is a unique insight into the most electrifying event in all of sport.

Let’s Do Lunch...with Gino & Mel ITV 1, 12:30pm ITV Daytime has commissioned a second series of Let’s Do Lunch…With Gino and Mel for summer 2012.

Following on from a successful first series last summer, GINO D’ACAMPO and MELANIE SYKES will return this year with a lunchtime menu of food, fun and entertainment.

In front of a live studio audience, each day Gino & Mel will welcome a guest celebrity to their kitchen to join them for the duration of the show. Gino will cook up a significant dish of their choice; maybe a pudding they ate whilst their partner proposed or a meal that reminds them of their mum. While Gino does the cooking, Mel and the celebrity will help him whilst chatting about their lives, loves & latest projects.

Series one saw a star-studded line up of lunch time guests including Sally Lindsay, Martin Kemp and Blur’s Alex James joining Gino and Mel for lunch; plus Gino undertook a string of surprise food challenges from eating some of the hottest chillies on the planet to setting the world record for the most ravioli made in two minutes.

The studio audience and viewers at home have a huge role to play in the lunch hour festivities – trying the lunch time dish which Gino has created and choosing which dish he will rustle up on the following day’s show. Plus Gino will deliver a daily food masterclass and solve an array of culinary dilemmas from “How do I make my Yorkshire puddings rise?” to “Why is my mash always lumpy?”

Let’s Do Lunch…With Gino & Mel promises to make your lunch hour the perfect place to kick back and be entertained.

Mel said:“I’m so happy Gino and I are returning to ITV with Let’s do Lunch. Food, laughs and celebrity guests - it’s going to be a fun summer!”

Gino said: “I’m thrilled to be returning with a second helping of Let’s Do Lunch and really looking forward to having a great time with Mel, the audience and the viewers. I can’t wait to get started - it’s going to be fantastico!”

ITV Commissioner, Daytime and Factual, Katy Thorogood said: “Indulge yourself with a helping of Gino and Mel every lunchtime. Its great entertainment with lots of laughs and delicious recipes you’ll want to have a go at.”

Executive Producer at ITV Studios Sharon Powers said: “I’m thrilled that Let’s Do Lunch is coming back. We had such fun the first time round & this time will be even better. Gino & Mel work so well together, and the viewers & studio audience really helped make this more than just a cookery show.”

Documentary looking at the tragic story of Melanie Ruddell, who killed her two-year-old son in 2010 while in the midst of an acute psychotic breakdown.

She strangled Christy at her brother's home near Durham, subsequently walking into the local police station carrying her child's lifeless body. Melanie admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and remains in a secure mental institution. All who knew her agreed that she was a caring and devoted mother before her psychosis. For the first time, family and friends talk about the circumstances of this tragic case.

Volcano Live BBC 2, 8pm Kate Humble and Professor Iain Stewart present a four day journey into our extraordinary and dynamic planet, live from Kilauea on Hawaii, the world’s most active volcano.

In the first episode, Kate and Iain broadcast live from the edge of the Kilauea summit crater, home of the Halema’uma’u lava lake, a bubbling mass of molten rock that the native Hawaiians revere as a god. From there, they explain why volcanoes exist, how they erupt and what studying them can tell us about the inner workings of the Earth.

Back in the UK, comedian and keen mountaineer Ed Byrne joins the team, heading to the laboratories of the University of Bristol to try and work out why different volcanoes erupt in different ways. We also meet Lorraine Field, a British volcanologist who shares the story of her incredible expedition to see the erupting volcanoes of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Kate hits the road too, travelling to Iceland to visit Eyjafjallaj kull, the volcano whose ash plume eruption caused so much disruption in 2010. Ascending to the still steaming summit, she meets the scientists trying to work out why such a relatively small volcano was able to cause disruption on such an enormous scale.

Volcano live is hosted by the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park with assistance from scientists of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory

This time, Peter Marks, the 51-year-old CEO of Britain's biggest nightclub chain, takes up the challenge. It's been a turbulent time for Luminar, the company that owns well-known clubs Oceana, Liquid and Lava Ignite. Last year, after an accident at one of their venues caused the deaths of two customers, and with £100m debt, the chain went into administration.

It was rescued by Peter and a group of investors who were convinced they could rebuild the business. But six months on they're struggling to attract customers and some venues are barely breaking even.

BBC Sport

BBC Sport have this week launched a Facebook application offering audiences live streams of major sports events, including Wimbledon and up to 24 streams of Olympics coverage. This is the first time the BBC has live streamed events on Facebook.

The app will deliver a rich social viewing experience, plugging online audiences into the communal excitement of big sports moments. You can watch events with friends who are also online and chat together about the action as it happens, while comment threads under each stream enable you to take the pulse of reaction from the Facebook community in real time.

Press play on a stream, or ‘Like’ it, and it is shared with your friends via the Facebook news feed. The in-app Activity Stream updates in real time to show you what your friends are watching, allowing you to discover events beyond your favourites.

Phil Fearnley, General Manager BBC News & Knowledge, said: “It’s a core part of the BBC’s mission to bring our quality content to audiences wherever they are, so I’m very excited to be able to offer sport fans on Facebook a really distinctive live streaming experience.

“With our Facebook app we aim to bring even greater value to our online audiences, enabling them to watch together and share their excitement. We hope to use it to test the benefits of social viewing, as part of our ambition to deliver more innovative and transformative experiences to sports fans.”

Alongside the new Facebook app, audiences can watch BBC Summer of Sport coverage online at bbc.co.uk/sport, on mobile and tablet, on connected TVs, and via the Red Button. By bringing audiences the action whenever they want, wherever they are, the BBC is making sure they never miss a moment of an epic year of sport from the BBC.

Even those with jobs haven't escaped the effects of this slump, as Stacey meets workers now doing the work of those made redundant. Relationships have been affected too.

W C CHOICE Faster Higher Stronger: Stories of the Olympic Games BBC2, 19:00

This series explores a neverending pursuit of perfection by athletes constantly pushing their sport to greater and greater levels of technical difficulty both on the floor and up on the high apparatus. Like Olga Korbut, who transformed gymnastics with revolutionary new routines that risked everything in Munich in 1972; and Nadia Comaneci who picked up the baton and went one further by scoring the first perfect ten out of ten in an Olympics at Montreal in 1976. One of most inventive Olympic gymnasts, Vera Caslavska, re-lives the protest she made at the Soviet invasion of her country Czechoslovakia during the 1968 Mexico Games, and Japanese athlete Shun Fujimoto recounts the extraordinary story of how he competed with a broken knee to ensure his team won Gold.

Lost Land of the Volcano BBC2, 23:20 Second part of the exploration series combining stunning wildlife with high-energy adventure. A team of scientists and filmmakers have made basecamp on a remote extinct volcano at the heart of the tropical island of New Guinea. Their aim is to search the thick jungle for the weird and endangered animals that hide there. Now they are pushing deeper into the rainforest, and enlist the help of a tribe to find and film the extraordinary birds of paradise as they perform their courtship displays.

W C CHOICE Super Tiny Animals ITV1, 8pm With over 22 million pets between us, Britain is undoubtedly a nation of animal lovers.

And for many, it seems the smaller the pet the better. As Super Tiny Animals returns for a second series, the cute factor is off the scale and seeing is believing!

In this two-part documentary series we take a look at some of the world’s most popular miniature pets and meet the people who love and pamper them. From tiny terriers to tea-cup cats and dinky horses, these miniature animals are guaranteed to melt even the steeliest of hearts.

Dressing up our little darlings is nothing new, but animal accessories are now enjoying record profits and in 2012 it’s estimated we’ll spend £30 million on them, in the UK alone. For some the lines between the patter of tiny feet and the patter of tiny paws are starting to blur. Twenty-seven-year-old Lynsey from Kent lives with her ‘baby’ Rocky, a tiny chihuahua, who gets star treatment as he is pushed round town in his very own buggy.

Rocky has been named Britain’s Best Dressed Dog and Lynsey admits: “I was recently asked how much I’ve spent on Rocky so I tallied it up and it was just below the £3000 mark. Yes, I know that’s crazy but Rocky’s worth every penny.”

Lynsey’s affections for Rocky run so deep that she even shares her bed with him: “I know some people are like, ‘Urgh, you let a dog sleep in your bed’ but look at him, he’s not a normal dog.”

Across the pond, in New York, a growing social scene centred on super tiny pets has emerged and at its heart are the Doggie Moms. Erika, Ashley, Karen, Grace and Leslie are taking New York City by storm with their new reality show about the hectic social lives they enjoy with their super tiny pets, who prove that small dogs have become the new way to network in the Big Apple. Their devotion includes reading bedtime stories to their pooches but what else makes a Doggie Mom? Karen says: “A Doggie Mom is somebody who treats their dog just like a child.”

Leslie explains: “When I’m talking about her with other people, I mistakenly call her my daughter. I think that’s ok.”

The Secret History of Our Streets BBC2, 21:00 Charles Booth's vast 1886 Survey of London ranks each one of London streets according to the class of their residents. Now in a major series for BBC Two, The Secret History of Our Streets returns to six archetypal London streets visited

by Booth to discover how their fortunes have ebbed and flowed over the last 125 years. The sixth episode features Arnold Circus, in the east end and the story of a Victorian social experiment that changed Britain. Arnold Circus is home to the first council estate which opened in 1896. The planning of the estate, from its lack of pubs to the pattern of the brickwork, was deliberate in order to make its residents respectable, as previously the land had played host to a notorious crime-ridden slum. Featuring compelling accounts from residents both past and present, this is the story of how Arnold Circus made the difficult journey from feared underclass to a selfrespecting community; of how it became and still is a haven in heart of the City.

Come Dine with Me Channel 4, 17:30 Joke-loving Stuart is bringing the Serengeti to Milton Keynes, hoping to take his guests on the adventure of their lives with his Safarithemed dinner party. With choir director Joseph now nicknamed 'the assassin' due to his constant put downs of the food, Stuart is preparing for the worst. He hopes his exotic menu of zebra steak and 'elephant dung surprise'.

Ruth and Aidan are enjoying a day out at a nature reserve. They’re madly in love and Ruth is delighted and shocked when Aidan pops the question. She barely hesitates, agreeing to marry him. Later, he asks when her divorce will come through from Jason, we realise that this isn’t a straightforward situation. Aidan then admits that he’s got something he needs to tell her… but he’s not sure that he can. A long time ago, he hurt someone. And she died. Ruth is shocked and presses him for more information, but he’s in distress and she eventually tells him they’ll talk about it later.

Charlie and Simon are at the station, Proust telling everyone about a dull fraud case they’re going to be working on. When the briefing’s over, Charlie catches Simon chatting and laughing with Amber, a young and very pretty DC. Sellers comments that ‘I bet he’s shagged her by the end of the week’ and Charlie’s bothered by it. More bothered than she’d like to admit.

Ruth goes to her kickboxing class and sees DS Charlie Zailer, who she spars with. After the class, she asks how someone could find out if their partner secretly had a criminal record.

She pretends that she’s asking on behalf of a friend, but Charlie sees through it. Warns Ruth that a man who’s hurt a woman usually does it again. Ruth laughs it off, it’s not that big a deal. Charlie returns to the station and shares her concerns with Superintendant Proust, who tells her that she has more important things to do than follow up on gossip from her pilates class. Charlie ignores him and runs a check on Jason Blacksmith. He’s assaulted another man – an Aidan Harper – just a couple of months ago and no charges were brought. She decides to visit the house, see what she can glean.

Ruth goes to see Aidan at work (he’s tuning a piano in a local hall) and pushes him again to tell her about this woman he hurt. Aidan is upset that she’s grilling him, ‘I thought you trusted me?’ After being pushed, he tells Ruth that the name of the woman was Mary Trelease. He then shuts down and Ruth leaves upset, hoping she’ll be able to talk to him more later. However, she’s shocked when she’s called to her old marital home with the dreadful news that Jason (her husband) has been found dead. Charlie has gone to visit her and found Jason’s body, with a single stab wound to the neck. He has been dead for a couple of days.

Charlie and Simon interview Ruth, Charlie asking if they maybe she and Jason had an argument that got out of hand. Ruth says no, she loved him. She fell for Aidan and had to leave but she never wanted to hurt Jason. Ruth denies that Jason was the man that she asking about after their kickboxing session, the man who had hurt someone. Charlie and Simon go to interview Aidan at his house, they learn that he’s practising for an audition at his old college, the Guildhall School of Music. They also ask him about the fight with Jason, Aidan insists it wasn’t a fight; Jason was upset about the situation and had been drinking, he took a swing at Aidan. Charlie takes a chance and asks why Ruth told her that Aidan had hurt someone. It pays off, Aidan is clearly shaken at being asked the question, which he bats away. Ruth has taken it out of context. But it’s clear that Aidan is the person that Ruth was talking about in the car park.

Pompeii: Life and Death in a Roman Town BBC2, 21:00 Pompeii: one of the most famous volcanic eruptions in history. We know how its victims died, but this film sets out to answer another question - how did they live? Gleaning evidence from an extraordinary find, Cambridge professor and Pompeii expert Mary Beard provides new insight into the lives of the people who lived in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius before its cataclysmic eruption. In a dark cellar in Oplontis, just three miles from the centre of Pompeii, 54 skeletons who didn't succumb to the torrent of volcanic ash are about to be put under the microscope. The remains will be submitted to a barrage of tests that will unlock one of the most comprehensive scientific snapshots of Pompeian life ever produced - and there are some big surprises in store.

Four in a Bed Channel 4, 17:00 It's the final visit of the competition, and Irene Ward-Kendall's Wold View House in Lincolnshire provides a homely welcome for most, but for Amanda and Mike Daly, it is not up to their usual military high standards. After coming to blows with Irene during their last stay, they are on a fault-finding mission and are immediately unimpressed. Irene tries to wow her guests with a trip to the Lincolnshire Wold Railway, and as the group ride through the countryside on a steam train, everyone's in high spirits until Irene makes a joke at Amanda's expense.

Smartphones v digital cameras SALES of digital cameras are on the decline as consumers snap up smartphones.

The camera and video camera was once an essential for every summer holiday, but new research from Mintel finds fewer Brits may be packing their cameras and camcorders this summer, instead relying on the smartphone.

Sales of digital cameras have fallen dramatically, declining by as much as 29% since 2006, to a value of £598 million in 2011. Just under one in ten (8%) UK adults - equating to 3 million consumers - now claim that they are likely to use a smartphone instead of replacing their current camera when it breaks.

Indeed, the future is looking far from flash for the digital camera market. While the market was valued at an impressive £843 million back in 2006, by 2016 it is forecast to have declined to just over half a billion (£523 million).

In addition, the picture is no more positive for camcorders, which have experienced a 21% decline in sales over the past five years, down from £354 million in 2006 to £279 million in 2011.

Samuel Gee, Technology Analyst at Mintel, said: “Although smartphone cameras do not typically match the quality of output of dedicated devices, the technology is consistently improving, as the quality of camera image output becomes too high for consumers to reliably distinguish between

Plan Renove competitors.

Dedicated device manufacturers investing in digital services and including social connectivity and imageediting features in upcoming devices will remain a more enticing proposition in the face of gently growing opposition.”

Today, as many as 80% of all consumers capture photos with a digital camera or camcorder and some four in ten (40%) only use a digital camera or camcorder.

This compares to almost half (45%) of consumers who use their smartphone to capture photo or video. Meanwhile, the traditional film-camera is used by just 8% of all Brits.

In terms of purchasing, four in ten (39%) camera owners purchased a camera to replace their old one. Around a third (34%) of consumers purchased a camera for their holiday (34%) while almost one in five (18%) purchased a camera to record a specific event.

“As newer technology continues to improve the specifications of top-end equipment, measurements

like megapixel density or the top level of optical zoom possible will become meaningless to consumers best served by less expensive, middle-of-the-field devices.

Camera manufacturers must choose to either invest in a web service that complements captured photos or video, or to focus on including new, innovative hardware capabilities and modifications, to retain consumer interest.” Sam continues.

Once, the photo shop was an essential port of call for any returning holiday-maker, but today just 23% of camera owners take their photos to be developed there. While around four in ten (42%) digital camera owners print their photos at home using their printer, more than a quarter (27%) of all consumers prefer to look at photos on a PC screen rather than print them out.

Finally, the report highlights the top five things consumers do with photos and videos once taken, these are - 1. Save on a computer (78%) 2. Send

them by email (53%) 3.

Upload to social networks (50%) 4. Print at home using a printer (42%) and 5. Burn them to a CD or DVD (36%).

But spare a thought for the holiday snaps and video coverage that probably never have their time in the sun - as today, more than a third (35%) of Brits admit to leaving them on a device.

Accordingly, doors and windows should be kept closed, to ensure maximum efficiency and the lowest

DAVID HUDGELL

Getting to the root of your gardening problems!

Gardener’s guide BEES and other pollinating insects will benefit from a new guide produced by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). Following last year’s very popular list of pollinator-friendly cultivated plants the charity is launching a follow-up list covering wild flowers useful as nectar and/or pollen sources for insects. Many of these native plants can be used in cultivated areas.

The RHS ‘Perfect for Pollinators’ initiative, with its distinctive logo, has attracted a huge amount of interest.

Garden centres across the UK have seen an increase in demand for pollinatorfriendly plants indicated by the logo. This new list has been produced to satisfy the growing interest in planting wild flowers in gardens and the growth in wild flower planting advice requests that the RHS Advisory Service receives from its members.

“Gardens are now increasingly recognised as important environments for maintaining biodiversity,” says Jim Gardiner, RHS Director of Horticulture. “By planting a broad diversity of plants gardeners can do a lot to encourage pollinating insects which, in turn, will bring in other forms of wildlife into their gardens such as birds and hedgehogs.”

The new wildflower list, which contains over 200 plants, breaks the list down to certain habitats that occur

or can be created in gardens.

These habitats include three forms of grassland areas, ponds and wet soils, gravelbased soil and hedges and woodland edge. Last year’s list of cultivated garden plants has also been extended and now includes more than 400 plants Over the past 50 years certain insects groups, such as butterflies and bees, have been in decline. This is due to several factors but part of the problem is the decline of wild flowers in the countryside.

Gardens, with their variety of plants that are in flower throughout the year, are seen as an increasingly important habitat to help these declining groups of insects.

The RHS gives advice on a number of ways that gardeners can help insects.

One important step is to consult the RHS ‘Perfect for Pollinators’ lists and choose plants from these lists. The two ‘Perfect for Pollinators’ lists can be found at – www. rhs.org.uk/Gardening/ Sustainable-gardening/ Plants-for-pollinators.

When selecting plants the charity advises planting schemes that have plants that will provide flowers throughout the seasons.

Avoid plants that have double or multi-petal flowers as the extra petals often replace the pollen-producing parts of the flower and may make the nectar inaccessible.

Water, water everywhere but not too much please WE all know that most plants and trees here in Tenerife need watering more frequently than in the UK. While most people know that too little water can kill a plant, they are surprised to find out that too much water can also kill it.

Just because it’s roasting hot here don’t over water thinking your plants need

more, water little and often when the sun goes down. This avoids scorching the leaves.

The signs for an overwatered plant are very similar to plants that have too little water. They are: · Yellow lower leaves · Plant looks wilted · Roots will be rotting or stunted · No new growth · Young leaves will turn brown · Soil will appear green (which is algae)

Why are plants affected by too much water?

The reason is that plants need to breathe. They breathe through their roots and when there is too much water, the roots cannot take in gases. It is actually slowly suffocating when there is too much water for a plant.

How can you over-water plants?

Normally, this happens when a plant-owner is too attentive to his or her plants, or if there is a

drainage problem. You can tell plants have enough water by feeling the top of the soil before you water. If the soil is damp, the plant does not need more water.

Water only when the soil surface is dry.

Also, if you find that your plant has a drainage problem which is causing too much water for it, than correct this and over-watering issues immediately to save the plant from dying.

Monty Don filming in France MONTY DON, the Gardeners’ World front man, has been filming in Provence and Cevennes this week for a new BBC TV series on French gardens, due on our screens next year.

06 July - 12 July 2012

He presented similar programmes for the BBC with Around the World in 80 Gardens in 2008 and Italian Gardens in 2011. He tweeted that the series would be “similar to Italian ones but this time done by theme rather than geography”.

He said the series would be “the whole [of] France - but, in these days of cuts, in just three hours”.

Cevennes is a range of mountains in south-central France, covering parts of Ardèche, Gard, Hérault and Lozère. The mountain range also gives its name to a meteorological effect when cold air from the Atlantic coast meets warm air of southern winds from the Mediterranean and causes heavy autumnal downpours, often leading to

floods. Provence is on south eastern side of France, on the Mediterranean adjacent to Italy. The Gardens of ProvenceAlpes-Côte d’Azur are a number of beautiful parks and gardens in the region which are classified by the Committee of Parks and Gardens of the French Ministry of Culture as among the Notable Gardens of France.

Spanish slug invades UK

ACCORDING to UK newspaper The Daily Mail, the recent unsettled weather in Britain is not just a nightmare for daytrippers - it is also causing an invasion of Spanish slugs that are destroying the nation’s gardens.

Heavy rain and warm spells have provided the perfect conditions for the giant alien pest, which grows to more than 10cm (4in) long and produces hundreds more eggs than the typical British slug.

The olive green animal is mating with native slugs to create powerful, highly fertile breeds that will overrun the country.

Slug expert Les Noble, from Aberdeen University, told The Times that Britain was not taking the threat of the Arion Flagellus seriously enough.

At B&Q they are reporting a 74 per cent increase in sales of slug pellets and Dr Noble says squashed slugs have been covering the streets of North Wales and upland in the West Country.

‘The invasive species is carrying diseases and para-

sites that are going to wipe out our native slugs’, said Dr Noble.

‘Our slugs self-fertilise and are so highly inbred they can’t keep pace with new diseases and parasites, and together with several other snails may become extinct.’

A fellow Spanish super slug, Arion vulgaris, has invaded northern Europe, particularly Norway.

The slimy molluscs have been crawling over flower beds and destroying lettuces, beans, wheat and other produce.

It is even feared that the invasion could push up the price of chips because of its effect on potato harvests.

Organic growers are finding it particularly hard to keep them at bay because they do not use chemicals or pesticides to spray on their crops. All they can do is cut back vegetation around their crops to remove hiding places for slugs and snails, or encourage birds who feed on them.

Slugs are very resilient creatures capable of surviving harsh environments before breeding rapidly when conditions suit.

The free-roaming gastropods are capable of moving up to five metres a night and can detect food from 60 centimetres away.

CARL PATTISON

from Robot, Los Cristianos answers your hair questions

Stop going nuts - eat pistachios!

Baked or fried?

EATING a handful of pistachio nuts a day can help reduce the damage done to the body by acute stress.

The nuts have a calming influence on the body by helping to lower blood pressure and heart rate in difficult situations.

Scientists at Pennsylvania

State University conducted a study and gave those taking part a variety of healthy diets - some containing pistachios and some without.

They then measured their subjects’ cardiovascular responses, first as they took a challenging mental arithmetic test, and again as they immersed their feet in cold water.

The largest drop in blood

pressure was associated with those who ate about 1.5oz of nuts a day.

Dr Sheila West, lead author of the survey, said: “Daily events, such as a tight deadline or public speaking, can increase blood pressure.

“These results are significant because they show that physiological responses to stress are affected by the foods we eat.”

Health changes now in force WOULD you really like your hair baked of fried? That, I’m afraid, is the choice if you’re not careful?

We are in July already and not only is it baking outside, but things are also hotting up inside - with your hair, I mean.

To stop it suffering with not only heat damage from the sun but chemicals and styling as well, follow my easy, hairprotection guide and stop it from having a dry spell.

It all starts with your shampoo. Here in Tenerife, 90% of my clients have dry hair, either from the sun or chemical or heat damage.

I cannot stress enough that your shampoo must be a moisturising one and not, as I hear some say, a normal one the first one that women grab in the supermarket.

Page 40

Your shampoo should be mild. That means it shouldn’t lather too much and should leave your hair feeling cleansed, but not squeaky clean.

Your conditioner should be rich and creamy and not flow from the bottle like water. It should smooth your hair from root to tip and leave it tanglefree.

It should not weigh your hair down, or make it feel coated, either. A hair masque is the product to have in your bathroom.

This will repair and protect your hair from any further damage if applied religiously once a week. It should be left on for at least 20 minutes, or overnight for a really deep repair.

If using irons or the hairdryer, then a heatdefence spray will protect your hair from most of the

scorching temperatures you can throw at it. But remember not to overdo those irons. If your hair is in an irreparable state, or you just want to put some life back into it, then an in-salon keratin treatment will give it a summer boost.

This literally replaces your own natural keratin to rebuild your hair from the inside out - smoothing the hair and giving it an excellent shine.

Maintaining your hair’s condition shouldn’t be rocket science, and shouldn’t cost the earth. Most salon formulas are a touch more expensive, but they last so much longer as they are concentrated.

I’m not going over my views on supermarket products because you know must know the score by now!

Just treat your hair with some respect - and try to put back what you unknowingly take out.

THE new co-payment for medicine scheme that has just come into force has been met, here in Tenerife, with surprise and confusion in many cases, since its introduction on July 1st.

With huge queues forming in pharmacies around the Island, the new computer system collapsed several

times on the first couple of days, due to the increased demand.

Pharmacists report that many pensioners were unaware that they are now required to pay between eight and 18 euros per month for their prescriptions, based on their income.

Some pharmacists had to resort to patience and teaching skills to explain that customers had to keep their receipts if they wished to seek reimbursement.

Some were clear that

they had to pay but did not know how much. Even among those who were better informed, there were many who complained that this system “does not solve anything.”

President of the Medical Association of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Rodrigo Martin, issued a statement to coincide with the payment changes, to reiterate the fact that some 456 medicines are no longer covered for anyone, and will have to be paid for if prescribed by a doctor.

Transplant record THE Spanish transplant system has just set a new record. On Tuesday, July 3rd, there were 18 organ donations and 36 transplants performed in 24 hours.

Spain has become a world leader in transplants over the past two decades, with many of those operations performed here in Tenerife at the University Hospital,

which has an outstanding reputation for successful kidney transplants.

In 2001 the national donation rate reached the landmark figure of 35.3 per million.

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

Louise birth is first of 5m ‘Test-tube babies’ FIVE million IVF babies have been born since the era of assisted reproduction dawned in 1978.

When Louise Brown was born at Oldham General Hospital on 25th July that year, it caused a sensation.

The birth of a “Test-Tube baby”, as Louise was then described in the media, was hugely controversial and sparked an intense, ethical debate.

But British experts point out that IVF has now become routine in many parts of the world.

Experts based IVF births’ estimate on worldwide figures for In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) treatment cycles up to 2008.

The emerging pattern was extended to gauge how many more treatments took place over the next

three years. The cumulative number of IVF births in total stood at 4.6 million last year and is now believed to have reached five million.

Passing that milestone represented a “moment of pride” for fertility scientists, according to a British member of the team who brought the first IVF baby into the world.

Dr Allan Pacey, chair of the British Fertility Society and senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, said: “Everyone expected the proportion of IVF treatment cycles to plateau, but it hasn’t.

Year-on-year, we have seen what is, effectively, a linear rise. ““I think it’s more than just older women relying on IVF; it’s more about accessibility, social acceptability and funding issues. And, to an extent, I believe that IVF is part of the mainstream now.”

A damning report on safety standards MORE than one in four health-and-social-care providers are failing to meet essential standards of quality and safety.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) has had to take action to improve standards in 27% of locations inspected.

Its report, based on findings from unannounced inspections of 14,000 health and social care providers in England, said it had to instruct 3,687 organisations to improve services.

In extreme cases, services had to be shut down completely, while others were given improvement plans.

It said that 77% of NHS services were providing the essential standards, compared with 72% locations in adult social care, and 82% in independent healthcare.

The CQC said the key problems were the mismanagement of medicines, staffing numbers and record-keeping. Almost

06 July - 12 July 2012

two in five locations failed to meet the essential standard of medicine management.

“Our inspectors are seeing a worrying number of examples where safe management of medicines is being compromised, often by a lack of information given either to those taking the medicines, or those caring for them,” said the report authors.

One in 10 organisations failed to meet the appropriate staffing levels, and 15% of locations had poor record-keeping. The inspectors also raised concerns about the premises used for social care.

Jill Finney, CQC’s deputy chief executive, said: “We can use this information to probe more deeply into what lies behind risks in the system. This report is the first step in that process.

“It will help us target our unannounced inspections, and we also want providers to look closely at this report to assure themselves that they are taking all steps necessary to protect people from poor care.”

Now stomach-cancer patients have much better survival rate

THE number of people in the UK surviving after treatment for oesophageal or stomach cancer has risen significantly in the last 10 years.

Nearly 50% of patients with stomach tumours, and 45% of those with an oesophageal tumour, live for three years after diagnosis - compared with about one-third a decade ago, Together, oesophageal and stomach cancers are the fourth most-common cause of cancer death in the UK, and affect around 13,500 people each year.

The statistics are taken from the new National Oesophago-Gastric Cancer Audit - the first time data on three-year survival rates for this patient group has been published.

The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) said the audit included information on more than 17,000 patients in England and Wales, diagnosed between October 2007 and June 2009, and was the largest audit of its kind in the world.

Surgeons say the figures show that if patients are diagnosed early enough and have curative treatment, their chances of long-term survival are stronger.

Stuart Riley, consultant

gastroenterologist and member of the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG), said: “Unfortunately, most patients with oesophageal or stomach cancer still report symptoms too late.

“We need to improve the early diagnosis of the disease to increase the proportion of patients eligible for curative treatment and improve survival rates even further.”

The RCS said the improved results reflect better organisation of NHS cancer services in England and Wales.

It said the centralisation of cancer services had allowed patients better access to the best available treatment.

Richard Hardwick, consultant surgeon and member of

the Association of Upper GI Surgeons (AUGIS), said: “Survival has improved significantly.

Our next challenge is to reduce the rates of complications following these major operations, so our patients recover more quickly from surgery.”

The audit was commissioned by the Healthcare Quality

Improvement Partnership.

It was conducted by a partnership between the Association of Upper Gastro-Intestinal Surgeons, the British Society of Gastroenterology, the Royal College of Radiologists, the Health and Social Care Information Centre and the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

Jamie's 15-Minute Meals CHANNEL 4 has agreed major product placement deals for two leading food brands to feature in the forthcoming Jamie Oliver series, Jamie's 15-Minute Meals.

In Channel 4's first product placement partnership for a cookery programme, Uncle Ben's rice and Yeo Valley Yogurt will feature in the 40 x 30 minute series, launching on Channel 4 this autumn. Uncle Ben's will also be sponsoring Jamie's 15-Minute Meals.

Throughout the series Jamie will create nutritious, speedy dishes in 15 minutes.

Within the series, some of these quick-cook recipes will incorporate a variety of Uncle Ben's rice, including Loose Basmati Rice, Express Wholegrain Rice, Express Long Grain & Wild Rice; and some will incorporate family dairy farm Yeo Valley's 0% Fat Natural Yogurt.

The partnerships were arranged by Newcast (for Uncle Ben's), Yeo Valley, Fresh One and Channel 4.

In addition, a recipe from the series which uses Yeo Valley 0% Fat Natural Yogurt will

Page 42

feature on Yeo Valley's products' packaging.

Vicky Kell, Business Manager, Partnerships, Channel 4 said: "This is the first time we've placed products onscreen with major talent in this way, and we're confident that the active usage by Jamie will lead to a tremendously effective campaign, and as such we'll be invest-

ing in research to help us to prove this."

Zoe Collins, Managing Executive Producer, Fresh One Productions said: "We are excited to be working with Channel 4, Uncle Ben's and Yeo Valley on this series. Getting the right tone is really important and we're confident that with these partners we are all working towards

a terrific programme. Foodwise, the Uncle Ben's and Yeo Valley products used in the series do really help to save time but, importantly, never at the expense of taste."

Rachel Moss, UK Marketing Manager, Uncle Ben's said: "We hope Jamie's 15-minute recipes will encourage even more people to be inspired to create healthy and diverse rice-based meals. We believe that if you start any meal with a simple grain of rice, and a bit of inspiration from recipes like those featured in this series, you'll end up with a better family meal. As all of our Uncle Ben's Rice range can be cooked in less than 10 minutes, Uncle Ben's makes mealtimes convenient as well as healthy and nutritious for the whole family to enjoy together."

Tim Mead, Managing Director, Yeo Valley said: "We are delighted to be included in Jamie's new programme. As a friend of our family farm and a fan of our products, we're thrilled that Jamie shares our passion for wholesome British food made from the best ingredients. We're looking forward to the series hitting TV screens and will be launching an on-pack offer to tie in with the show."

Gordon Behind Bars THE first episode of Gordon Ramsay’s series “Gordon Behind Bars” locked in an audience of 3m viewers (13% share) between 9-10pm on Channel 4 (and C4+1). The show peaked at an impressive 3.7m.

In fact, the Brixton-prison based baking show’s big ratings were only narrowly arrested by the forces of law and order in cop show Line of

Duty on BBC2, which drew an audience of 3.1m (14%), and Turn Back Time: the Family’s kinship of 3.2m viewers (14%) on BBC1.

Gordon’s cookery extravaganza was consumed far more readily than the Strictly Kosher produce on offer on ITV though, as the channel’s ob-doc about Manchester’s Jewish community only called 2.6m people (11%) to its table during the same time-slot.

And over on Channel 5, just 1.7m (7%) people deigned to investigate the episode of CSI that went out alongside Gordon’s show.

Ryanair compensate the couple who were refused a flight home THE Tenerife couple stranded at Seville Airport by Ryanair staff in May have received compensation from the Irish budget airline.

The documents held by Peter Pennington and his wife, Carolyn, were deemed to be in order when they travelled to Seville from Tenerife South on 11th May. But a week later, when they returned to the mainland airport to check in for the return trip, they were referred to the office.

According to airline staff, their paperwork wasn’t correct, while in the office area, they were told that they did not have the correct documentation to fly; they needed a ‘disc’ - of which they had no idea.

The travellers had in their possession residencia (green original), which included their personal details and address, plus their British passports.

Canarian Weekly spoke with the municipality of Arona, who confirmed that the papers they had were exactly what were needed to fly to and from to the mainland.

However, Peter and ??, who are Tenerife residents, were not allowed to board their prebooked Ryanair flight, so they were, in effect, abandoned in Seville airport.

But that wasn’t the end of the matter. They wrote a letter of complaint to Ryanair - a company which loves to heap surcharge upon surcharge on its customers, despite the “lowcost” tag which accompanies the company’s name.

And they were delighted to receive the following reply from Ryanair: Dear Mr Pennington, I acknowledge receipt of your letter received in our office on the 25/06/2012.

Please accept our very sincere apologies to you for the delay and inconvenience you suffered on the 18/05/2012 at Seville

Page 44

Airport. I wish to confirm that your letter has been passed to the Seville Base Manager, and we will be following up with them at the highest level to ensure that this situation does not recur. In conclusion to this matter, I wish to confirm that a cheque for 450 euros will be posted to you in full and final settlement of your claim.

Once again, please accept our sincere apologies and we hope, despite your dissatisfaction on this occasion, that you will afford us the opportunity to welcome you on board another Ryanair flight in the future.

Yours sincerely, For and on behalf of RYANAIR LIMITED Maciej Ostrowski, Customer Services Mr Pennington had told Canarian Weekly: “We were treated terribly at Seville, but we kept our dignity.

“We also approached a policeman based in the airport and he said we had legal documents and that they shouldn’t refuse us. We were advised to file a denuncia in Tenerife.”

After an overnight stay in Seville, they were able to book a flight with Air Europa, who cheerfully accepted their travel documents. Peter, naturally delighted at receiving compensation - he’s still awaiting the cheque from Ryanair -couldn’t wait to share his good fortune with Canarian Weekly readers.

“I won,” he said proudly. “It took six weeks, but I was 100% correct. I know it cast doubt on some of the Tenerife Forum readers but, on the whole, the response and support from them was fantastic.”

He added: “I was probably the only person who did anything about it. There were 12 passengers the week before who were refused boarding, and goodness knows how many when we were supposed to fly - plus many more since, I bet.”

ON THE ROAD WITH JAV Behind the Wheel

Email: Jav@canarianweekly.com

Big-hitters are planning a sporty future together BMW and Toyota have announced a partnership that will see them working closely on a new fuel cell system - and joint development of a future sports car.

The two companies also want joint involvement with electric powertrains and lightweight technologies, and Toyota President Akio Toyoda can’t wait to get the wheels rolling.

“We both want to make ever-better cars,” he said. “Toyota is strong in environment-friendly hybrids and fuel cells.

“And I believe BMW’s strength is developing sports cars. I get so excited thinking about the cars that will result from this relationship.”

Little is known about precisely what shape or size the sports car will be, but all the signs point towards it using a hybrid powertrain.

The Toyota GRMN sports hybrid (above), which was revealed in 2011, used a midmounted V6 petrol engine driving the rear wheels, and

an electric motor turning the front axle. And it could point towards what Toyota have in mind. The BMW-badged version could sit in the ‘i’

range somewhere between the i3 and i8. In March, BMW and Toyota signed an official agreement to work on lithium-ion battery

technology together. BMW have also agreed to supply Toyota Europe with fuelefficient diesel engines from 2014.

New-look Santa Fe is sure to give Hyundai a smart boost HYUNDAI have revealed the UK version of their new, handsome-looking Santa Fe, which boasts more standard kit and improved efficiency.

Last year, 4,251 of the current Santa Fe models were sold in the UK, making it Europe’s largest market.

And this new car is set to build on that success and take on rivals - like the latest Mitsubishi Outlander - when it arrives in the showrooms in October.

Andrew Cullis, the company’s UK marketing manager, told Auto Express: “Some said the fluidic,

06 July - 12 July 2012

sculpture-design language was too fussy, so this car is the first in a new direction which is simplified, more premium and sophisticated.”

Although it uses the same 2,700mm wheelbase, the new Santa Fe is 40mm longer and 5mm wider. It is also 45mm lower, while tricks like the flick in the window line and the roof spoiler give it a sportier stance.

The Santa Fe will run on front-wheel drive in normal conditions.

However, if sensors detect a loss of traction, up to 50% of torque can be sent to the rear wheels.

Cullis added: “The interior has seen the most changes.

People who opted not to buy the current car said they wanted a better ambience.”

The new model certainly

delivers on that score, with its bold, centre console and improved materials, A third row of seats, which folds into the boot floor, is £1,400 extra, but does include self-levelling rear suspension, while the middle bench slides back and forth.

There’s also 534 litres of

boot space with the front five seats in place, and 991 litres with the rear-most two rows folded, which is an increase of 22 litres on the old car.

But a 197bhp 2.2-litre diesel is the only engine option.

In the Santa Fe’s frontwheel-drive manual, this emits 155g/km of CO2, but go

for the 4WD auto and it emits 178g/km.

Among the items of equipment, safety and comfort are: seven airbags, panoramic sunroof, steering wheel and heated rear seats.

And for your non-driving pleasure, there’s a multimedia information system and screen entertainment, with an eight-inch, thirdgeneration browser.

The Sport version is available with the following engines: 2.4-litre petrol, with direct injection, 190hp power and 181 lb-ft of peak torque, and improvements in fuel consumption and acceleration as well.

There’s also a 2.0 GDI turbo with 264 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of peak torque, six-speed automatic transmission with

manual control SHIFTRONIC. The three-row version is equipped with a V6 engine with direct injection GDI 3.3-litre power 290CV. The range starts at £25,495 for the 2WD manual car (an auto is a £1,700 option) in Style spec. This has 18-inch wheels, cruise control and adjustable steering.

An “explosive” bonnet, designed to protect pedestrians in a crash, is also standard, and Hyundai are promising a five-star NCAP crash-test rating as a result.

Premium models, which cost from £28,995, add leather, satnav and a reversing camera.

Premium SE cars come with seven seats, 19-inch wheels, xenon lights and a panoramic glass roof, and start at £32,695.

Sports Bar, immediately produced a surprise result as Christine, and previous winner Betty, were knocked out in the first round!

That set the tone for an exciting evening, which had two first-time finalists in Dawn and Sarah, from Trap Door, along with Joan and Lillian, of

Darts League Tables

Phoenix Flames. The Premier League lads at Cozy Corner came up with a few maximums, a 13-dart leg and some close matches, all but two of which went to the fifth leg.

In the last match, Bar 180’s Richard and Justyn just lost out to Xtreme’s Mike Telf and Tom. At La Central, Tam and DIVISION 1 RESULTS JOHN LOWE TROPHY 1-7 1-7 2-6 P-P 6-2 1-7 6-2

And fine young players they are, too!

The Division 2 event unearthed a final which will be a bit of a local derby. Winning through at Bar 180 were La Caña’s Pete and Dave, who go forward to face Jamie and the Terminator himself, Arnie, representing Bar 180 C. So all you

need to do now is clear your diaries for Friday 14th September. That is the date for Finals Night, which will be held at the Nauta Bar in Guaza.

It is always a very enjoyable evening, and it gives us a chance to see the cream of the Oasis Fm Darts League doing battle on the big stage..

Form a Cue for the new F1 test-driver Maria loses Oasis Fm League season right eye after freak crash THE new pool season is just around the corner, and now is the time to enter your bar, team or venue.

The Oasis Fm Pool League is looking excitedly to its sixth season, which promises to be the best yet.

There are various one-off events planned this year, as well as the usual competitions and international matches.

The Oasis Fm Pool League has teams and venues all over the south coast of Tenerife. So if you have ever wanted to play, then now is the time to enter.

Matches are played on Tuesday nights and start at 830pm. There are at least four players to a side, and matches are played over a best-of-10frame format.

The season starts in early August and runs until May,

and the Oasis Fm Pool League features the best players on the island.

Twenty-six of the top 30 players in Division One last season will again cross swords. No side have ever retained the League title, and there will be a new name on the winner’s trophy at the end of this year.

After two seasons of frustration, will new-look Tenerife Hammers A, last year’s Cup winners, claim the honours?

Maybe rejuvenated Palms A will bounce back, or will there be a new force? Phoenix Bar have two strong sides, while Gaffers A are primed for success.

The longest-running league in Tenerife will again take on the Scotland International side in February. Last season’s annual challenge went all the way down to the wire before the visitors retained the cup.

A visit to Scotland is already being planned, and league chairman Roscoe said: “It’s

great that we will be able to challenge them on their soil.

“The Scotland matches are the highlight of the season and every year, like the Oasis Fm Pool League, they get better and better.

“We are again affiliated to the World Pool Association, and the Oasis Fm League has been asked to enter players in the European and World Championships.”

Chairman Roscoe added: “We have also been invited to participate in a number of inter-league events in the UK in 2013.

“So, as you can see, this season promises to be another exciting campaign. We have the Island’s best players - and competition will again be fierce. The standard of the tables is amazing, which can only help improve the standard of the league.

Tuesday night is pool night, and I’m looking forward to welcoming new bars, venues and players to the original and historic Tenerife pool league.”

Registration is underway for the new season. For details, call 902 232 102 during office hours, or email info@oasisfm. com

MARIA DE VILLOTA, a Formula One test driver, lost her right eye following a crash at Duxford airfield in Cambridgeshire on Tuesday.

Last night (Thursday), the 32-year-old Spaniard was said to be in a “critical” condition still at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge, after suffering head and facial injuries in the incident.

Surgeons began operating on her injuries soon after her arrival at the hospital, and did not finish until Wednesday morning. She was also believed to have a fractured skull.

Team sources said she regained consciousness a few minutes after the crash and had spoken to her father, Emilio, a former F1 driver, and her sister.

It was her first outing in new Formula One team Marussia’s MR-01 car, and she had hit 200mph on her opening run before slowing right down.

According to witnesses, the car then lurched into the stationary team transporter, hitting the tail-lift at the rear of the truck at about 30mph.

The top of the car and Maria’s helmeted head are believed to have taken the main impact of the collision.

According to one theory, the car’s anti-stall mechanism was

activated as she approached the temporary pits area.

Marussia team bosses issued a statement saying: “She is receiving the best medical attention possible at the hospital, which is the region’s major trauma centre.”

BBC Cambridgeshire presenter Chris Mann, who saw the accident, said: “The car was slowing down when it suddenly accelerated into the back of the lorry.”

He added:“She didn’t move for about 15 minutes and it was an awful moment. I was surrounded by people who knew her very well, including family, friends, engineers, and her manager.” Maria,

who has a degree in sport’s science from the European University of Madrid, was announced as the team’s test driver four months ago, after performing the same job for Lotus Renault last year.

She said then: “This is a fantastic opportunity to work closely with a Formula One team and gain important experience, including a chance to drive the new car later in the year at the Abu Dhabi test.”

Britain’s former world champion Jenson Button wrote on Twitter: “My thoughts are with Maria and her family at this very difficult time.”

Tenerife hosts IV Canarian Police and Fire-fighters European Games 2012 TENERIFE will be hosting the IV Canarian Police and Fire-fighters European Games 2012, an event approved by the International Olympic Committee that will bring more than 2,500 participants.

Athletes come from all over the continent and the U.S., Brazil and Canada. The organisers expect about 10,000 people to visit the island to see this event, held from July 7th to 15th.

The presentation ceremony was attended by the Minister of Sports, Jesus Perez, the

06 July - 12 July 2012

president of the Police and Fire-fighters European Games, Jose Carlos Baquero, and the president of that organizsation in the Canaries, Indalecio Socorro Santana.

Police officers and firefighters, who represent about 20 countries, will take part in a total of 74 different sports, both team and individual, over the nine days of competition.

Along with traditional sports such as athletics or swimming, participants perform specific testing of their professions such as shooting, police or stair biathlon race.

The competition has the support of the Cabildo, Tenerife Tourism, Ashotel, CIT and the Consortium for Rehabilitation of Puerto de la Cruz, Canary Islands

Government, Promotur, travel agency and agency Soltour Zipangu.

The games will take place in the sports facilities of Puerto de la Cruz, Santa Cruz, Santa Ursula, Los Realejos, La Orotava, El Sauzal, Los Silos, Garachico, El Rosario and Tacoronte.

The origin of the Games is the city of Pontevedra, when local police of the town, through the founding of the Association Europolybdecided to create in 2006 a few competitions in based on the World Police and Fire-fighters Games.

On a biannual basis, the Games have continued to grow in participation. This edition includes for the first time, the participation of Guardia Civil and agents of private security forces.

Horoscopes of the week Cancer

(June 22nd - July 23rd) Unexpected visitors make for an unpredictable weekend. You may not be in control of your life at this time, but the ride is sure to be a colourful one, so stay on board. A lack of energy at the start of the new week could see you saying No to invites from a new person. Don’t, because you’ll be glad you’ve gone.

LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Upheaval in your home surroundings could make it hard for you to stay in a calm mood. Just don’t bite at your close ones, who have gone to more trouble trying to make arrangements with you than you realise.

Gambles in love on Monday pay off and help you move on from that “someone” from your past.

VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd) An interesting offer comes your way, which helps you to see that someone who was acting distant just had nerves and not attitude. Mars, the planet of change and unpredictability, pushes you to ask for something from your career which you may not want. Be aware of what you are asking for. Taking on too much can undo your recent good work.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) This is the beginning of a much happier and luckier phase in your life. You’re no longer avoiding your friends, but you’re happy to be the socialiser loved by all. You’ve finally realised that experience is what makes us wise, and you will learn rapidly to acknowledge that mistakes bring lessons.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) Make the most of the many opportunities coming your way. From Tuesday onwards some sort of physical effort must be required in order for you to make the

Page 48

most of your life. You get closer to a family member you had grown apart from - and life starts to become a fun place again.

S AG I T TA R I U S (November 23rdDecember 21st) A difference of opinion with a close one could well spiral out of control into a full-scale argument. Slow your pace and take in what is really going on, and not just what others are speculating.

Flirtations are rife from midweek, when you have the chance to choose rather than be chosen, for a change.

C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) You’ve waited so long for opportunities to come your way that now they’ve actually arrived, you don’t know what to do with yourself. Visitors who come to the home help you to get life into proper perspective, and the chats you have over the coming days help you to formulate a new and improved game plan.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) Children or the younger generation seem to be taking up more of your time and energy. Just remember the old saying that you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. You are going to have to stand back at some point and let them stand on their own two feet.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) Think outside of the box if you want to find a solution to

your problems. You have spent far too long this month doing what looks right to others, rather than what feels right to you. Contracts and letters which are signed at this time can ensure you have a secure future. Look all new business people in the eye when you talk to them ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) A change of circumstances in your inner circle may not be to your liking, but it suits the person concerned, right down to the ground. Be careful that you don’t cause friction where there need not be any. Why don’t you try to focus on your love life, which could do with some fine tuning, And the time has come for you to lay your heart on the line at last.

TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) Education and study are well starred, and you start to find that you have an appetite for knowledge.

Want to take a test for something? Do it now. You have the backing of the stars and anything you touch can turn to gold.

Someone has something to admit to you in love - and the more calm you stay, the more they will tell you.

GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) Your dreams and ambitions are brought a lot closer to reality, and you start to smell success.

Working with someone from your past may not be your top choice, but it could be your only option if you are to tie up a project in the time allotted. Watch out for an admirer who is not a match made in heaven, trying to convince you otherwise.
