All-star ladies ready to tee up here again! Golf Las Americas is selected to host the Ladies Spanish Open
THE cream of women’s golf in Europe will congregate at Golf Las Americas in the next few days for the Ladies Spanish Open, which starts on Thursday. It will be Tenerife’s 11th consecutive year of hosting the event, which forms part of the Ladies European Tour. What an accolade for the Island because it is the only Ladies Tour event to be played in Spain this year. And what a treat it will be for the players to have the sun on their backs after competing in the British Open in chilly, breezy Liverpool this week. All the leading stars, bidding for a share of the 350,000-euro prize fund, will be among the 126 Order of Merit contenders. They include No1 seed Carly Booth, from Scotland, Germany’s No2 Caroline Masson and Spain’s thirdseeded Carlota Ciganda. The Tenerife Open Matchplay event was also played at Golf Las Americas last year, when Becky Brewerton fired a four-under-par 68 to win the Tenerife Ladies Match Play event on the same
course. The 28-year-old North Wales player, from Abergele, played superbly to withstand the challenge of Australian Nikki Garrett and win by a single shot. Las Americas also hosted the Tenerife Open in 2003 and, as usual, this year’s event will be televised live around Europe. For the Royal Spanish Golf Federation to choose Tenerife again for one of their big tournaments speaks volumes for the efforts made last year by Tenerife Tourism and the Canary Islands Government, who sponsored the event jointly. The intention was to promote Tenerife as a major golf centre for all-comers and it has paid off. At last year’s opening ceremony Jose Manuel Bermudez, who was then the Tenerife Tourism Minister said: “The huge media coverage is worth around 25 million euros in terms of economic impact.” With our economy facing even more desperate times a year on, the new head of Tenerife Tourism, Miguel Santos, will be hoping for at least the same financial return this time.

Tenerife Tourism is again featured prominently as chief sponsor, with the Spanish Federation promoting the event. The two organisations have reached an agreement in order to maintain the high
standards of this tournament, which is regarded aa one of most important and rooted in the ladies schedule after all these years. That is also why the Golf Las Americas course has been selected again. The
prestigious course, designed by renowned coach John Jacobs, has been widely acknowledged throughout Europe, and is viewed as the best venue to organise tournaments in Spain. It’s a championship 18 hole par 72 course with an overall length of 6.051m (6.617 yards). The whole show is being run by Deporte & Business, a company which, for the past decade, has had extensive experience of organising professional tournaments, such as the European Nations Cup, the Tenerife Ladies Open and this
Spanish Open since 2002. Last year’s Spanish Open, held at the Los Flamingos course in Marbella, was won by England’s Melissa Reid, who took the title on the last hole in a thrilling finish. A year earlier, England’s legendary Laura Davis picked up the title on the same course. The Spanish Open gets underway on Thursday (20th Sept), proceeded by a pro-am on Wednesday and practice the previous day. The event will finish on the Sunday, followed by a prizegiving ceremony.

Voluntarios Adeje who worked tirelessly throughout the fires. A number of staff and their families working at EZE Group were affected by the fires, so the company decided to make the donation as a thank you to the volunteers. Chris Chilcott, from Regency Shores SL on behalf of EZE Group, said: “Given our strong links with Tenerife and the fact that many of our customers from the Midlands come out to the island we felt it was a very worthy cause to support. The volunteers do a great job and were really in the thick of the action.” Left: Daniel V Darias, CRO for Regency Shores SL presenting the donation to the volunteer fire fighters.

SEVERAL Spanish MEPs have already confirmed they will present and support an amendment to the proposed TransEuropean Transport Network, which currently does not include Tenerife. The news came in a statement from the Tenerife Cabildo’s Minister of Economy, Competition and Tourism, Carlos Alonso, who travelled to Brussels early this
m o nt h to confirm the MEP’s support. The Minister said that one of the ways to make sure the island is included in the network and therefore share in the 50,000 million euro funding available, is by filing an amendment that places the island as an urban node. Alonso explained that during recent days, in collaboration with the Canary Islands Government and the Ministry of Development, he has held several meetings with Spanish MEPs, making amendments and gaining support from Socialist and Liberal groups. In the case of the Popular Party, the Cabildo adviser said that although Gabriel Matos
showed support for the initiative he has yet to confirm their vote. He thanked Juan Fernando López Aguilar, Inés Ayala, Gabriel Mato, Luis de Grandes and Izasqun Bilbao for their support. “The way in which we are working now is for the EU to consider both Santa Cruz and Las Palmas as urban nodes, becoming part of the core network,” he said. The amendment must be submitted before the 28th of this month so that, if it is accepted, it can be discussed at the next European Parliament plenary session. However, the Cabildo has an alternative to being in the TEN, in case this route fails.
The idea is, Alonso said: “To work in another amendment that incorporates the expansion of the transport corridor from Strasbourg to Lisbon, arriving at the Canary Islands, which would then ensure our Island infrastructure is included on the main network”. The Minister stressed the importance of seeking social support through the platform # TFseMueve, but noted: “We must also work in search of political support”. Therefore, he said the next step is to invite the leaders of other political groups on the Island’s Council to come on the next visit to Brussels.

THE Cabinet is expected to approve a decree by mid-September on urgent measures to alleviate the damage to those affected by the recent fires. In his appearance in Congress, Minister Arias Cañete said that the aid will be similar to that provided in 2009 and its approval will
provide additional support to autonomous regions, in order to mitigate the damage to people and property and restore the affected areas. Meanwhile, Arias Cañete has estimated that around 181,000 hectares have burned in Spain so far this year. The Minister, who appeared at the request of the Izquierda Plural, Grupo Mixto and UPyD in the lower House, has made an estimate by adding together the perimeters obtained from
aerial photographs in the fire control centres and data sent by the regions. Arias Cañete said,“So far this year the support required from the Ministry has been above average compared to recent years, with the government already acting in 405 fires. The greatest impact has been in Castilla y León, where there were 375 interventions, Galicia, with 238 interventions, and Valencia, with 170 interventions. In all, we have
provided assistance on 1,747 occasions, with 5,661 hours flying and 27,883 water drops”. He refers to the actions that took place in the great fires in Valencia, Murcia and Castilla-La Mancha in the last days of June and early July, and the work undertaken in early August on the fires here in the Canary Islands, including those at Villa del Mazo in La Palma, Alajeró in La Gomera and El Tanque in Tenerife.

Fiesta Days
Bargains and fun in El Medano THIS week until Sunday, the public is invited to El Medano to take advantage of some terrific deals in the El Medano en Saldo event. Organised by the Granadilla Agency for Employment and Local Development
and the El Medano Business Association, more than 50 establishments, from retail stores to bars and restaurants, are offering their products at special sale prices. Agency Chief Esteban Gonzalez explained that this part of the coast, which has a large number of visitors at this time, will become a great showcase for local businesses,
complemented with a variety of recreational activities. The primary goal, says Gonzalez, “Is that companies in this part of town can offer their products that have not sold during the season at a low cost to visitors and the general population, as well as revitalise this part of the coast”. Restaurants, bars, fashion
stores, accessories, footwear, gyms, insurance-related businesses and leases, pet shops, windsurfing, hairdressers, computers, among others, are just a sample of participating local businesses, alongside a programme of exhibitions, free concerts, dance classes, parties and a whole lot of surprises!
Rajoy buys some time PRIME Minister Mariano Rajoy appeared to have bought some time to decide whether or not to seek a European bailout, after meeting in Madrid with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who voiced her strong support for the austerity measures he has introduced. “I didn’t come here to say what reforms Spain should or should not take. I have plenty of confidence in the Spanish government and I am impressed by the measures it is taking,” Merkel said during a news conference after their meeting. Merkel also told the press that she had not discussed conditions for a possible bailout, which saw the market rally and helped to push Spain’s borrowing costs down. Rajoy has said that he
wants to wait and see what conditions EU leaders, including the head of the European Central Bank (ECB), would impose on Spain if his government were to ask for a bailout. In Frankfurt, ECB president Mario Draghi announced that the bank would embark on a new bond-buying scheme but with “strict and effective” conditions for countries that ask for it. “There isn’t anything new. When there is news, I will tell you,” Rajoy said when pressed
14 September - 20 September 2012
on whether or not he will ask the ECB to buy Spanish bonds. “I haven’t even had time to read Draghi’s speech yet.” The ECB president held his news conference at the same time that Merkel and Rajoy were talking to reporters in Madrid. Just as Rajoy has been ambiguous over a possible rescue package, sources at the Prime Minister’s Moncloa office are also skirting the issue. But many believe that it is only a matter of time before Spain makes its formal
request for aid. Nevertheless, Rajoy wants to limit the number of conditions Brussels might demand of the Spanish government, and the prime minister had been expected to convey this message to the German chancellor and ask her to support him. For the moment, Rajoy has bought some time, and will now wait to see how the markets react over the next few weeks to see if he can avoid having to ask for a handout.
NEXT year’s fiestas for the Canary Islands have been announced by the Canarian Government; the seven Canary Islands share 11 fiesta days in common. The following are the dates for 2013 - 11 days of celebration throughout the Canaries: January 1 New Year January 7 Epiphany March 28 Easter Thursday March 29 Easter Friday May 1 Labour Day May 30 Día de Canarias. August 15 Virgin of Candelaria October 12 National Spanish fiesta November 1 All Saints Day. December 6 Spanish Constitution Day December 25 Christmas Day In addition, in Tenerife only, February 2nd is also a fiesta day for the celebration of the Virgin of Candelaria. This brings the total to 12 days. Now this is where it gets a little bit complicated. As well as these 12 days, each municipality (areas that Tenerife is divided into) have their own two days for various fiestas. The Canarian Government has announced that it is currently preparing the list of local fiestas for 2013; they will be announced in the coming months. So this brings the total number of fiestas for every part of the Canaries to 14 days. Because these two days are added throughout the island it gives the impression that Tenerife is always celebrating a bank holiday so to speak.
But it will! As there are only 52 weeks in a year, you may live in one municipality, work in another and your children may go to school in another, so it’s as if we’re always on holiday. Tenerife is made up of 31 separate municipalities, commonly grouped in three categories: Metropolitan area: Santa Cruz de Tenerife, La Laguna, El Rosario, Tegueste. North area: Tacoronte, El Sauzal, La Matanza de Acentejo, La Victoria de Acentejo, Santa Ursula, La Orotava, Puerto de la Cruz, Los Realejos, San Juan de la Rambla, La guancha, Icod de Los Vinos, Garachico, El Tanque, Los Silos, Buenavista del Norte. South area: Santiago del Teide, Guia de Isora, Adeje, Arona, Vilaflor, San Miguel de Abona, Granadillade Abona, Arico, Fasnia, Guimar, Arafo, Candelaria. Puerto de la Cruz, once regarded as the centre of everything is actually, physically the smallest municipality in the Canary Islands with 8.73 Km2. Previously it was included as part of La Orotava, which is the largest municipality - 207.31 Km2. With all this talk about fiesta days no further mention has been made about ‘linking days’ e.g. when a bank holiday falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday, employees tend to take the day in between as a link day to make a long weekend, which according to the government seriously affects the economy and thus, the islands lose money. Perhaps they will decide this at a later date as well. Until next week…

NEWS IN BRIEF Fast 6 stars arrive
Fast and Furious 6 actors, led by Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwane Johnson have arrived in Tenerife. The stars will be staying in the south while managers of Universal Pictures have reservations at an establishment in the capital. The centre of production operations will be located in Garachico, where they will move the 97 cars, trucks and even tanks that will be used during the filming. One of the main sequences of the film to be shot on the island will be on the ring road in the south. The stretch of road is the future link between the north and south motorways and is not yet open to traffic, allowing the team at Universal Pictures to have the privacy they require during shooting.
Unpopular euro
‘Transatlantic Trends 2012’ is a recent study presented by the BBVA bank. It says that over half the Spanish population believes that adopting the single currency has been a bad move, whilst 41 per cent say it was a sound decision to make. Three in 10 Spaniards believe the country should pull out of the euro and go back to the peseta - although another three in 10 feel strongly that it should stay put, according the survey.
San Miguel Town Council The San Miguel Town Council has announced that it will be extending the hours of the Registro General, located at both the Town Hall in San Miguel and at the SAC office in Las Chafiras. Services are now on offer on Wednesday afternoons. The Council wants to improve services to the public for such requirements as signing on to the padron, applying for travel certificates and general advice. Opening hours are now Monday to Friday, from 8am until 2pm, Wednesday also from 4pm until 6.30pm. In San Miguel only, Saturdays 8am until 1pm. Some services are also available online at www.sanmigueldeabona.org
Mass exit by youngsters
The rate of unemployment in the Archipelago, the second highest in the country where 52% of young people are unemployed, has forced thousands to seek work outside the Canary Islands, preferably in European countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany and France. Australia, Brazil, Mexico or the United States have also begun to emerge as viable options despite their remoteness. Since the impact of the economic crisis began to be felt in 2008, a total of 37,086 over 18 islanders have left the Archipelago in their quest to find a job outside the Spanish borders.
Ryanair loses pressure
The loss of cabin pressure during a Ryanair flight from Madrid to the Canary Islands last week saw the plane have to turn around and perform a forced landing, touching down at Barajas an hour after having taken off, according to sources from the airline and the airport. Flight FR2011 to Gran Canaria took off at 7.15am, and when technical problems were first noted, the crew carried out standard procedures to deal with the depressurisation of the cabin, including the deployment of oxygen masks for the passengers and a descent to the corresponding altitude. The Irish airline has apologised to the 160 passengers, who were put on a replacement flight later on.
Roadside checks
As children return to school, the Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) has announced that it will be stepping up roadside checks until September 16th, to ensure that people carrying children in a vehicle are complying with safety regulations. They will be looking to see that all vehicle occupants make proper use of safety belts and child restraint systems according to the weight, age and height of each child. Trafico has launched this campaign of awareness and safety, coinciding with the beginning of the school year, to remind all parents of their obligation to bring their children to school using appropriate child restraints.

Las Galletas holds seaside clean-up ABOUT sixty people, including Red Cross volunteers, environmentalists, divers and the general public, participated in the recent campaign ‘The Clean Sea’, on the beaches of Las Galletas and Los Enojados. The initiative was developed by the Arona Environment
Department led by Antonio Sosa, in collaboration with the office of Environmental Voluntary Participation and the Tenerife Cabildo. The campaign consisted of cleaning up the beach and surrounds, as well as underwater cleaning, environmental workshops
and a turtle release from ‘The Tahonilla’ Centre for Wildlife Recovery. Participants on the day removed about 600 kilos of waste off the coast of Las Galletas, of which roughly 500 kilos came from the bottom of the sea. Councilman Antonio
Sosa, said, “This type of action is essential to raise public awareness, which is so important to avoid the deterioration of our natural areas, and understanding that rubbish does not only affect the landscape, but also endangers the life and habitat of local species”.
Government are really against forced labour for the unemployed THE Canarian Government’s Minister of Employment, Industry and Commerce, Margarita Ramos, has just announced that the Island’s Government will not apply the Royal Decree Law 25/2012, which calls for forcing unemployment benefit claimants to work on the clean-up of areas affected by the recent forest fires. Ramos explained that the Government is in opposition to the measure brought in from Madrid, saying, “This is like punishing the unemployed for their condition”. Ramos continued, “The Rajoy Government insists on considering the outof-work as guilty of being unemployed, on benefits and wastefully spending, punishing them by forcing them to perform labour in return for the benefits they receive. “The Canary Islands
Government wishes to emphasise that the benefits and allowances that are paid to the unemployed are as a result of their contributions, when they were working. It’s not an act of charity, it is an individual right that emanates from the laws governing the Social Security system,” said Ramos. Secondly, the Minister of Employment stated, “These kinds of policies mean the Government can avoid job creation plans and programs to recover the forests, the mountains, clear debris, repair homes and affected paths, etc. This measure appears to be aimed at avoiding the creation of real, new jobs,” she explained. Third, Margarita Ramos argues that these measures do not incorporate any regulations on the conditions of employment. “You need legal regulations on working hours, rest periods, safety,
occupational safety, work accident insurance. Who is responsible for compliance with health and safety for these unemployed? Who assumes responsibility for accidents? Labour law requires the protection of all workers, whatever their nationality and the degree of skill involved, from accidents at work and this requires a ‘working relationship’, a ‘contract of employment’. “It’s what the Rajoy government denies these people, an employment contract to provide work and wages, instead demanding they work in return for social security benefits, “ she stated. The Minister also announced that the Canarian Government has asked the Ministry of Employment to establish a system to clarify the existence of an employment relationship, the responsibility for the safety and health
of the unemployed, liability for accidents at work and ensuring that all unemployed people involved in an initiative have the capabilities, skills and appropriate training. “The Canary Islands government rejects this measure, which has been introduced across the board,” said the Minister. Finally, Ramos asks whether the Rajoy Government believes that those who are unemployed are construction labourers only. “Does he not know, perhaps, that the unemployment rolls are full of nurses, doctors, engineers, teachers, architects and so on, who are all desperately seeking employment? “Will they end up being sent to work as a punishment for having been fired, having lost their work, having suffered the consequences of the crisis?” concluded the Minister.

Arona Mayor pops in to see work on a new-look Centre ARONA’S Mayor, Jose Alberto Gonzalez Reveron, accompanied by a group of Town Councillors, recently visited the works at the Civic Centre in El Fraile. The building is to be a centre specialising in training and employment, forming part of the Local and Urban Development Strategy, cofunded by the European Commission under the ERDF within the Urban Community Initiative (URBAN). The works carried out on this site and local neighbourhood are conditioning, adaptation and improvement of the physical conditions of the centre, including the installation of equipment, as well as various activities aimed at promoting citizen participation, through meetings, workshops and fo-
rums, plus the realisation of plans promoting employability and job placement. The work, which had been delayed by a problem with the infrastructure, particularly in the South Hall where it was necessary to readjust the project and seek funding outside the Urban Plan, should be completed before the end of this year. Arona’s Mayor said, “This centre aims to bring together all the social and cultural life of the core of El Fraile and with this action the district will be one of the best equipped, which is extremely important because this centre is the epitome of multiculturalism in Arona. The facility will help improve social relations, coexistence and above all, achieve a more balanced neighbourhood”.
Leaving Spain to find work
THE rate of unemployment in the Archipelago, the second highest in the country with 52% of young people unemployed, has forced thousands to seek work outside the Canary Islands, preferably in European countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany and France. Australia, Brazil, Mexico or the United States have also begun to emerge as viable options despite their remoteness. Since the impact of the economic crisis began to be felt in 2008, a total of 37,086 over 18 islanders have left the Archipelago in their quest to find a job outside the Spanish borders. With these figures, the Canaries are at the head of all the regions in the number of people who have left to find work during the last four years. The number of Islanders living abroad has increased by 51.5% since late 2007. In the first half of this year, some 6,063 people left the Canary Islands, of which 2,205 were Spanish and 3,858 were foreign nationals. According to the Spanish Electoral Roll Abroad (CERA), 1,201,433 Spanish adults lived outside Spain in 2008. Four years later, this figure rises to
1,509,333, representing an increase of 25.6%, with 307,900 packing their suitcases to seek work abroad. Those who have decided to pack up and leave the country are, for the most part, young people between 25 and 35 years-of-age, with advanced degrees or highly qualified, fluent in one or two languages and with no dependents. A recent study by The Network, an international alliance of job portals and HR companies formed by 124 firms, has surveyed over three thousand Spanish people. Some 30% of them said they would migrate to find work. The figure rises to 57% among the population with higher education. A technical profile, especially in the field of engineering, shows that work experience and fluency in English and German are the requirements that open doors in the labour market abroad. Over 47% of participants in the study said they would remain away for at least five years, indicating that workers are not looking for a new experience, but to create a life outside Spain due to the uncertain future of the national labour market.

Tenerife, Volcanoes of Life TENERIFE Tourism has just launched an initiative on volcanoes and their benefits, a drive which aims to encourage tourism professionals, “To introduce volcanoes to visitors and make them more appetising and interesting as part of Tenerife’s resources”. Island Councillor for Tourism, Carlos Alonso, said that the volcano is “one of the great tourist attractions.”
a full range of five major volcanic areas in which the island has been classified and where tourists can learn more about volcanic manifestations present in Tenerife. The other four volcanic territories created, and that between them cover the whole of the island, are Gigantic Landslides, Land of Historic Volcanoes, Abeque Ridge and Explosive Volcanoes. For each one, Tenerife Tourism will develop training sessions for the corresponding areas on the Island. The potential and the attraction of volcanic Tenerife are unique in the world, bringing together most of the
existing volcanic processes. It houses the world’s third highest volcanic cone and has over one hundred craters and Badlands, (arid lava surfaces eroded by time). In addition, under the surface is a network of huge volcanic tubes formed by the cooling of the outer layers of lava during its progress, such as the Cueva del Viento, in Icod, which at 17 miles long is the longest in Europe and fifth in the world. In practice, the initiative ‘Tenerife, Volcanoes of Life’ is aimed at tourists seeking an authentic holiday experience. “This can be done while enjoying other activities, such as sampling our food and wine, impregnated
with volcanic character, or practicing activities such as scuba diving, where the seabed is so affected by volcanic properties or walk on trails where you learn more about lava flows, or Paragliding from cones and appreciate from great heights the most impressive geological formations of the Atlantic,” pointed out Carlos Alonso. ‘Tenerife, Volcanoes of Life’ is part of the Competitiveness Plan ‘Canary Islands, a Volcanic Experience,’ involving the Cabildos of Tenerife, La Gomera, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria, as well as the Central Government and the archipelago’s hotel associations.
Tenerife Tourism will carry out this training programme in collaboration with scientists at the Volcanological Institute of the Canary Islands (Involcan) and the Technological Institute of Renewable Energy, (ITER) to impart theoretical and practical knowledge about the volcanoes, existing measures on reducing volcanic risk, and especially on the use of all the benefits, from the tourism point of view. The first of five classifications will start the training sessions, which will be conducted in the Municipalities of Garachico, Los Silos, Buenavista and Santiago del Teide, coinciding with the first of the volcanic areas that were developed, from ancient volcanoes, and is aimed at all companies that are taking part in the new tourism product, ‘Tenerife, Volcanoes of Life’ or any others who would like to join. Hotels, restaurants, tourism companies and public facilities are some of the members of this programme. Tenerife Tourism has been working on ‘Tenerife, Volcanoes of Life’ since 2009. Since then, after a joint effort developed with business and local groups from Tenerife, they have managed to design

Arona is hosting a new edition of Expoutlet ARONA will be hosting the fourth edition of Expoutlet on October 13th and 14th, an initiative led by Arona’s Economic Development and Employment department. Headed up by Afonso Marcos Esquivel, who says the project, “Intends to promote shops in our town, in a difficult economic time for the commercial sector, by encouraging sales, as visitors to the fair will find lots of products with a minimum discount of 50% from its initial price”. Arona Expoutlet 2012 will be held on the esplanade in front of the sports centre in Los Cristianos, in which about 60 shops will be represented, offering fashion and accessories, health and wellness, decor, home and gifts, plus children’s wares. Afonso Esquivel announced that this year a new feature will be used cars, called “Autocasión Arona”, with the participation of four companies involved
in the motor trade. The councillor states, “This initiative was not held last year because of a budgetary issue, but we decided to take it up again, in a little more modest manner, given the success we have always had in our town.” Besides the trade stands, visitors to Expoutlet Arona 2012 have a children’s entertainment service, and
multiple musical activities on stage. Businessmen and traders in the town who want to participate in this initiative can formalise their registration until September 24th in any of the offices of the Arona’s Citizen’s Service, either at the Town Hall, located in Arona town, or in Los Cristianos and Las Galletas.
New park opens in Los Cristianos
CANARY Islands Deputy Minister for Tourism, Ricardo Fernandez de la Puente Armas, alongside Director General for Tourism Infrastructure Miguel Cabrera, and the Mayor of Arona, Jose Alberto Gonzalez Reveron, were present at the recent inauguration of the Parque Central de Arona, ‘Los Morros’, a work that has been carried out in two phases and with a budget of 1,337,977 euros.
The objective of this project has been the implementation of the first two phases of a landscaped urban park with leisure facilities and playgrounds in Los Cristianos, in the municipality of Arona. The playing surface is about 21,690 metres square. Ricardo Fernandez de la Puente Armas expressed his satisfaction that the residents of this area can now have, “An outdoor space designed primarily for leisure and free time.” He emphasised, moreover, the concern of the Canary Islands Government to work

on the recovery of public spaces in tourist zones in order to maintain and improve competitiveness as a holiday destination. In this sense, it also complies with the Competitiveness and Islands Tourism Quality 2008-2020 Agreement, signed in January 2008, which states, “The Canary Islands Government makes a commitment to adopt a series of actions carried out in coordination with public and private institutions in the field of renovation and rehabilitation”. The Mayor of Arona, Jose Alberto Gonzalez Reveron, said, “The opening of this park is about a new recreational centre for tourists and locals, as it is located at a strategic point between Los Cristianos and Playa de Las Americas, with both hotels and residential complexes”. However, the Arona Council, “Is wrong again,” according to the Los Cristianos Neighbourhood Association, who consider it unnecessary. “The Los Morros urban park, near the courts of the Palace of Justice, had been intended for other purposes,” they say. “There are enough parks scattered in different areas of Los Cristianos and Playa de lass Americas,” said a spokesperson.
“Part of the nearly 22 thousand square meters occupied by the new park should have been earmarked for construction of the longawaited health centre, since the one we have is obsolete and outdated from decades ago”, residents say. “It is sad and reprehensible that they have squandered nearly 1.4 million as we continue without a primary care health complex. Investment should have been destined for a work that would answer the demands of the local neighbourhood,” the Association claims. In addition, the residents say, “Because of the extent of the plot it would have been possible to build a local police station to meet demands. “However, the government of Gonzalez Reveron, instead of fighting to give a boost to the thousands of families who reside here, prefers to support actions that are not necessary”, expressed outraged members of the neighbourhood association. “In addition, the new park is located away from residential areas, so it is not the most appropriate place to have built a complex of its kind” notes the group. “The resort has many urban parks but their maintenance is very poor. The logical thing would have been to improve what is already in place”.

Cabbies get new support in Granadilla THE MAYOR of Granadilla, Jaime Gonzalez Cejas, and Councilwoman for Transport, Guacimara Gonzalez, have expressed their support for the new taxi service regulations approved by the Canary Islands Government. The regulations entered into force on Tuesday, especially with regard to the elimination of transfers, which occur when vehicles have a permit for business reasons to pick up passengers at ports and airports outside the municipality in which their taxi licence pertains. Specifically, the section of the regulations of the taxi service that refers to this provision says; “Services should be initiated in the municipality to which the licence refers for urban transport. The service starts where the passengers are
Page 10
collected”.Guacimara González explains that the number of vehicles in Granadilla de Abona can perfectly meet the demand from the airport and around the town. “In total, we have 178 licences and more than 300 families making their living in this way, to which we must add a certain number of licenses from the neighbouring municipality of San Miguel de Abona, also operating at the airport,” she said. Both Jaime Gonzalez and Guacimara assert that they have always been against the transfers because they were detrimental to Granadilla taxi drivers. They add that they are already working closely with the Taxi Association of Granadilla, in order that this measure taken by the regional government does not change and that these permits should be regulated by the Cabildo. They also indicate that the city of Granadilla de Abona police have a plan to tackle any incident in this regard, especially on the busiest days of increased air traffic and passenger flow.
World-beater Michelle delivers a Paralympic swimming gold for us FOR all the national euphoria over Great Britain’s magnificent Olympic and Paralympic achievements - and Monday’s spectacular parade through London - Spain enjoyed its own corner of glory at the Paralympics. And none more so than Michelle Alonso, Tenerife’s brilliant teenage swimmer, who demonstrated her supreme talent with gold and a world record in the 100m breaststroke. The 18-year old, who trains at Tenerife Ademi’s elite Olympic-size pool in Santa Cruz, had warmed up for the event by winning five medals, including two golds, at the 2011 World Cup 2011, and another gold and
bronze at the Europeans in Berlin. So it came as no surprise to her coach and team-mates when she set a Paralympic record in her morning heat, then smashed the world mark in the evening final. Tenerife Cabildo President Ricardo Melchior was quick to send a congratulatory message, as was Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. “I was not expecting a medal at all, let alone the gold,” said the dazzling youngster. “It was the best day of my life.” Unfortunately, her Tenerife Ademi colleague Oliver Israel Peña, who was also expected to be among the medals, managed only fifth place in his 100m backstroke final. Another Canary Islander, Gran Canaria’s Enhamed Enhamed, who is blind, collected a silver (400 freestyle) and a bronze (50m freestyle), having secured four gold medals in Beijing four years earlier. The swimmers proved to be Spain’s best group, winning 22 of the 42 medals (8 gold, 18 silver and 16 bronze), achieved by their team And their undoubted star was Zaragoza’s Teresa Perales, whose one gold, three silvers and two bronzes crowned her the most decorated Paralympian of all time with a 22-medal haul throughout her career. In all, the Spanish swimmers captured two gold, 11 silver and a bronze medal.
The Spanish team also won seven cycling medals (2 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze), and they secured a brilliant onetwo in the visually-impaired marathon. Alberto Suarez won in world-record time, and was followed home by team-mate Abderrahman Ait Khamouch. Still on the athletics front, David Casinos picked up a gold in the discus, as did José Antonio Exposito in the long jump. Judo star Carmen Herrera maintained her consistency at this level by winning the 70kg class to gain her third gold medal at consecutive Paralympics. A special mention goes to Tenerife’s wheelchair basketball duo Rafael Muiño and Ismael Garcia, who surprised many by finishing fifth after Spain’s 16-year absence from the Paralympics. Overall, Spain finished in 17th place in the medals table, which was a disappointing result for the competitors and team coaches following their 10thplaced display in Beijing. The Paralympics proved every ounce as spectacular as the Olympic Games, with many worldwide officials showering praise on what was generally felt to be the finest ever staged. Such was the support for both sectors that the Paralympics matched the Olympic crowds, with up to 80,000 spectators packed into the athletics arena for most events. Superstars were born, with
triple gold winner David Weir being acknowledged as the greatest wheelchair racer of all, after taking the 5,000m, 1500m and, incredibly, closing the show by winning the marathon. Jonnie Peacock strutted his stuff in the 100m by becoming the fastest amputee sprinter of all time, smashing renowned South African Oscar Pretorius in a world record time. But the British star of the entire Paralympics was, without doubt, 17-yearold Ellie Simmonds, who repeated her double gold success of Beijing with wins in the 400m freestyle and 200m individual medley. She added a further silver and bronze to her collection in the 100m and 50m freestyle events respectively. Ellie, who was born with achondroplasia (dwarfism), captured the hearts of a nation, and millions of others around the world. She lit up the entire show as she beamed her way through interview after interview. Just as golden girl Jessica Ennis was the pin-up for Team GB, so Ellie was the poster girl for the Paralympics - and there’s more to come from this little jewel because she intends to continue through to the 2016 event in Rio. “I just can’t wait,” said the girl from Walsall. “I’ve got high expectations of myself. I’m quite a competitive person and I hate losing.” And don’t her opponents know it!

Hillsborough: The gruesome lies - and a fearful cover-up! San Sebastian is the tastiest place to eat in the entire world! CONSUMER magazine Which? has placed a tiny Spanish city top in a list of the best places in the world for food. San Sebastián, a northern coastal city in the Basque Country, was once considered grim and industrial - and an unlikely recipient of such an award. But today, its remarkable transformation has led to it being a popular, yearround spot with tourists because of its excellent beaches and ultra-modern Guggenheim museum. There are many other attractions which have sprung up in recent times, so much so that San Sebastián has more Michelin stars per head than anywhere else in the world. Despite the city’s small size, international events such as the San Sebastián International Film Festival have given it a global dimension. And winning this accolade will go down well with local businesses because San Sebastián, along with Wrocław in Poland, is set to be the European Capital of Culture in 2016. It beat such acclaimed places as Tokyo (in second place), Hong Kong (seventh) and parts of France and Italy. Even Paris made little impact against the Spanish town, finishing joint-fourth and fifth with New York, while Italy’s central Emilia Romagna region and Sicily
Page 12
were voted sixth and ninth respectively. Australia fared well, with Sydney coming third and Melbourne eighth, and Danish capital Copenhagen, despite being considered among the most expensive, came 10th. But all tastes led to San Sebastian for Which? magazine’s voting panel, which comprised a food and travel writer, a restaurant critic, a food blogger plus a cook-book author, who gave San Sebastián an 81% score. The panel spared no efforts to arrive at their conclusions. They did not just test the top eateries, but also the middle-ofthe-row restaurants and budget bars offering cheap menus. They also sampled food for sale on the street, in markets, at food festivals and on tours, and sold by local producers. The team also considered typical produce and dishes of the areas and their eating cultures in general. San Sebastián’s food culture, creativity of chefs in restaurants and its value for money scored very highly. Which? said that although most cities and regions in the world had some Michelin-starred restaurants which served up excellent meals for eyewatering prices, it was “very rare to be able to order a three-course dinner at almost any eatery” and be certain that you would enjoy them all.
THE damning truth about the Hillsborough Disaster, and the wicked lies told by police and the ambulance brigade, emerged on Wednesday after 23 years. Ninety-four Liverpool football fans perished on 15th April, 1989 - and two died later in hospital - during an FA Cup semifinal between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Yet 41 lives might have been saved had the emergency services acted promptly. The tragedy devastated Liverpool, especially when the fans themselves were blamed for the huge crush, which led to the disaster. But, as was believed by the bereaved and the entire city, there was a huge cover-up by all those involved in the rescue operation that day. Now, members of the South Yorkshire Police and the Ambulance Brigade there could be prosecuted, following incriminating evidence against them, uncovered by the Hillsborough Independent Panel.
The families of the fans killed 23 years ago said the report had vindicated them. But they pledged to carry on their fight by pursuing criminal prosecutions against those who, they said, should “hang their heads in shame”. Prime Minister David Cameron led a chorus of apologies, including those from former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie who ran a front page story headlined The Truth, blaming Liverpool fans when it was a pack of lies, and the South Yorkshire Police (SYP) Chief Constable. Attorney General Dominic Grieve will review the report as quickly as possible to decide whether to apply to the High Court to quash the original, flawed inquest and order a new one. The supporters were crushed on the stands at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough ground as the game got underway. It was halted after six minutes and finally abandoned at halftime as the extent of the tragedy unfolded. James Jones, the Bishop of Liverpool and chairman of the Independent Panel, introduced the report to the Hillsborough families at the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool on Wednesday.
He told them: “The documents disclosed to and analysed by the panel show that the tragedy should never have happened. “There were clear operational failures in response to the disaster and, in its aftermath, there were strenuous attempts to deflect the blame on to the fans. “The panel’s detailed report shows how vulnerable victims, survivors and their families are when transparency and accountability are compromised.” The Panel’s report found: *There were clear operational failures in response to the disaster, and up to 41 fans could, potentially, have survived. *The then chief constable of South Yorkshire, Peter Wright, and his officers, with the help of local Tory MP Irvine Patrick (now a Knight), sought to cover up the failings, briefing media that drunken, ticketless fans and violence were to blame. *There was “no evidence fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium” and “no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying”. *Police “doctored” 116 official statements “to remove or alter comments
unfavourable to SYP”. *South Yorkshire Ambulance Service documents were “subject to the same process”. *An attempt was made to “impugn the reputations of the deceased by carrying out Police National Computer checks on those with a nonzero alcohol level”. *Blood alcohol levels were tested in some survivors, as well as in all those who died. In some, there was “no apparent medical reason for the test” and no record was kept. *Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher voiced concern that a 1990 report into the Hillsborough disaster constituted a “devastating criticism” of police. Trevor Hicks, the Hillsborough Families Support Group chairman, who lost two daughters in the disaster, said they would now press for criminal action against those involved in the disaster, adding: “The truth is out today; justice starts tomorrow.” Mr Hicks said the Hillsborough Independent Panel’s report revealed shocking “depths of depravity” in the way police tried to blame fans after the disaster.

US kids’ dance group drive hotel guests mad
CHILDREN’S dance troupe The Untouchables, currently wowing hit TV show America’s Got Talent, are as sweet as sweet can be. At least, that’s the impression these talented youngsters give during
their sensational routines. In reality, they appear to be a bunch of spoiled brats, especially after their dreadful behaviour nearly got them booted out of their New York hotel. The kids, aged 8-13, were accused of being hell-raisers at the upmarket hotel by staff, who were inundated with complaints from unhappy guests.
14 September - 20 September 2012
Apart from making a fearful racket, the glitzy kids were said to have thrown objects out of the windows Their antics led to threats by hotel bosses to throw them out on the street. They were given a stay of eviction, however, when producers from the hit show - which is broadcast on ITV 2 on Saturdays - pleaded
for them to be allowed to remain there. The hotel agreed, reluctantly, but the management made it clear that they would not tolerate any more of their unruly behaviour. A hotel spokesperson said: “We gave them a verbal warning to let them know they would be kicked out if the problem persisted.”
A booming display by John Lewis and Next THE employeeowned John Lewis Partnership has reported a 60% hike in pre-tax profit of £144.5m for the first half of the year. John Lewis retail recorded a 9.2% increase in like-forlike sales, while Waitrose sales went up by 2.2%. What helped boost results were The Queen’s Jubilee and the Olympic Games, said the group. But it does not expect the growth rate to continue this year because of ongoing investment. It is excellent news for the group, especially as many British retailers are struggling because consumer spending has been hit by inflation, poor wage growth, employment worries and concerns over the Government’s austerity measures. John Lewis has bucked the economic downturn because its more affluent customers have not been affected by these factors. But the group has not stood still, improving its
products and opening new, modern stores, which have impressed customers. The wet summer weather also helped John Lewis’ department store division, as the rain forced customers from the high street and into shopping centres. There are 37 John Lewis shops and 270-plus branches of Waitrose across the UK. Another company in the pink is high street giant Next, which unveiled a 10% jump in profits in the first half of the year. Despite an “unusually quiet” August and September, the fashion and homewares chain believes it is on course to meet fullyear profits of between £575m and £620m. The group reported pretax profits of £251m in the six months to July, thanks to new stores and strong online sales offsetting lower sales from shops open more than a year. A decline in like-for-like sales hit profits by £18m, while new space added £14m and online sales growth added a further £26m.

King Richard's grave could be in car park!
BONES believed to have been those of King Richard III have been unearthed in a city centre car park. He is thought to have been buried in Leicester following his death - and his army’s defeat by Henry Tudor - at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. University of Leicester archaeologists, searching under the car park behind council offices for the mediaeval king’s lost grave for three weeks, have sent the human remains off for DNA testing. Last Friday, experts on the site revealed that they had uncovered paving stones
believed to belong to the garden of former Leicester Mayor Robert Herrick, where a memorial of Richard, depicted by Shakespeare as a hunchback, once stood. An inscription, the lastknown record of the king’s grave, reads: “Here lies the body of Richard III, sometime King of England.” Richard Taylor, from the University of Leicester, said: “What we have uncovered is truly remarkable. The search for King Richard III has taken a dramatic turn.” The king was killed 13 miles away during the civil war which led to the Tudor monarchy. He was the last English king to be killed in battle.
Hospitals can’t cope with strain of emergencies THE emergency hospital care provided by Britain’s NHS is on the “brink of collapse” because of the vast number of people needing treatment. These admissions have risen by 37% over the past decade, says a report by the Royal College of Physicians. But the number of hospital beds has diminished by 4% in that period, and such is the mounting pressure on services that 10% of consultants would not recommend their own hospitals to people close to them. Dr Andrew Goddard, a hospital consultant who contributed to the college’s
report, told Sky News that some hospitals were closing their doors to new patients during the summer, which used to be their quietest time of year. “I have been in hospitals where the hospital is full and
everyone is running around trying to create beds,” he said. “The workload is so great, and it has been getting worse and worse over last few years. While the NHS is a fantastic service, it is struggling to cope with the demands on it.”
The report says patients are getting older, and are more likely to have dementia and other complex needs, adding to pressure on staff. It recommends that hospital care is reorganised so that patients are able to have expert care seven days a week, which could mean some hospitals closing to pool resources in larger centres. Government Health Minister Dr Dan Poulter said: “We are modernising the NHS so it can continue to do more, and improve care - putting doctors and nurses, those who best understand the needs of patients, in charge of improving the NHS.” He added: “To provide dignity in care for older people properly, we need to see more care delivered at home and in the community.”
The Estrellas Theatre School and Karen Jayne Smith go for Gold! MAUREEN SANDS, Principal of Estrellas Theatre School, welcomes Karen Jayne Smith, an independent, selfemployed, Royal Academy of Dance professional ( RAD RTS). She will be providing ballet classes to children from Estrellas Theatre School, Wingate School and children in the South of the Island in an innovative venture to promote worldwide dance qualifications in this area. After yet another successful year, culminating in a highlyentertaining performance of Estrellas - the Musical at the Magma Centre in June, the Estrellas term starts again tomorrow (Saturday, 15th Sept). . It promises to be afunpacked year, as always, and classes will continue to be held at Wingate School. This year, Maureen and Karen are seeking to provide more opportunities for children in the South through the introduction of RAD ballet classes at Wingate School, with examinations taking place next June. Classes start at the end of September.
Page 14
Karen Jayne Smith studied dance at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts in London. She danced professionally for 20 years before moving to the Canary Islands, where her students have already attained excellent exam results two years in a row. Speaking about this new venture, Karen described it as “an exciting new way of extending RAD to children here in the South.” She added: “I am delighted to be able to provide the children with qualifications that will not only benefit them in areas such as posture and coordination, but also in their education. “These exams, like the LAMDA grades, provide UCAS points, which are useful for applying to universities later on, should they so choose.” Maureen stressed that both LAMDA (the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts) and RAD are two of the oldest and most respected awards for theatre and dance, which are recognised worldwide. The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) operates in more than 70 countries, with the objective of improving
the quality of the teaching of classical ballet worldwide. Their carefully-structured syllabuses promote a safe and fun learning environment, and their teachers are qualified to teach classical ballet to children from the age of 2½ to young adults. Maureen Sands would like to thank Mr Christopher Green, Headmaster of Wingate School, for his continuing support and recognition of the importance of providing a holistic approach to education, in which both he and Maureen strive for excellence. RAD Ballet Classes will be available twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at Wingate School, in Cabo Blanco. A meeting will be held at Wingate School on Thursday (20th Sept) at 4pm to allow all interested parents and students to meet Karen and Maureen. They will be able to make further enquiries and discuss timetables. For further information, please contact Maureen Sands on 647 844 794, or send an e-mail to mo@. estrellastheatreschool.com.

Pro-euro Latvia can’t wait to convert to the single currency THE European single currency is definitely unloved by many of the people using it, because the ongoing debt crisis in Europe. Yet there is one small outpost brimful of cheers for the euro. Far away from the corridors of the European Commission and European Central Bank, the Baltic state of Latvia is gung-ho about swapping its currency, known as lats, for the euro. But it must meet all the Maastricht criteria governing euro adoption by the end of this year if it is to qualify to switch from the lats to the euro in January 2014. “We have to be ready, regardless of what happens with Greece or in other countries,” Finance Minister Andris Vilks told the Association of Financial Professionals (AFP). “We are focusing and have a good chance to enter a eurozone that will be much more disciplined - and
prepared for shocks in the future.” He added: “Everything that’s happening at the moment is good, whether it’s fiscal union, in banking or whatever. We cannot miss this opportunity.” Latvia, struck by the world’s deepest recession in 20082009, imposed a draconian austerity drive to ensure, in part, that it could hold its course to meet the Maastricht criteria, which are meant to ensure robust public finances. Another goal was to maintain the lats’ peg to the euro, a long-standing plank of Latvia’s economy policy. But even if Latvia meets all the criteria flouted so routinely by existing eurozone members, the European Commission and ECB must both give their assent. That neighbouring Estonia was admitted to the troubled eurozone in 2011 under similar circumstances would make a refusal highly controversial. And euro-enthusiasm is even stronger at the Latvian
14 September - 20 September 2012
central bank than it is in government. The bank this week hosted a discussion of the subject, which emphasised the expected benefits of eurozone accession, with little time given to possible risks. “We are now placed quite comfortably in terms of meeting the Maastricht criteria,” Uldis Rutkaste, the central bank’s head of monetary policy, told AFP on the sidelines of the event.
According to Rutkaste, more effort needs to be made to spread the message about the benefits of euro adoption. “Every day, we get mostly negative news from Europe,” he added.“Many people don’t follow it that closely and don’t understand all the issues. “But they see that something negative is coming from Europe, and that affects their attitude towards the euro as well.” While getting the euro is the obsession of Latvia’s policy-
making elite, the public appears sceptical - on the surface at least. A survey last month of over 1,000 Latvians by the Latvijas Fakti pollster showed that just 35% supported adopting the euro, with 59% declaring themselves against and 6% undecided. However, most analysts agree that what looks like a high degree of euroscepticism may not be as strong as it first seems. Ivars Ijabs, the University of Latvia expert, says the question of euro adoption is seen less as an issue of economics than of reinforcing a European identity and national security - further anchoring the former Sovietruled nation of two million in the European Union, which it joined in 2004. “According to opinion polls, we are rather euro-sceptic, but there has been no call for a referendum (on adopting the euro),” he told AFP. “And even if there were, there would be a large campaign stressing security
issues. Latvia will enter the eurozone as it entered the European Union - without much debate as it is more or less self-evident that Latvia has to be there.” There is similar pragmatism in the business sector. Dainis Senbergs, of the Valmieras Stikls fibre-glass manufacturer, says joining the eurozone will place exporters in a more efficient environment. “It will be easier to manage risks and will help in negotiations with other countries such as India and America, who understand the euro, instead of having to explain about the lats,” he said. “The euro question is really not so critical to ordinary people. They don’t like the idea of having to bail out people who are richer than them, and that will have to be answered. “But basically, it comes down to which side of the world we want to orientate ourselves -is it Europe, or some other part?”

Make sure your dog is registered ACCION del Sol reminds all dog owners that they are required by law to register their animals at the local Town Hall. This law applies to all dogs and not just the dangerous breeds, which must also have a special licence. Remember, also, that dogs must be kept on a lead in public areas at all times, and that they are not allowed on Tenerife beaches. An Accion spokeswoman says: “More checks and fines are in force, so please be aware of the Spanish laws that we must adhere to as residents of Tenerife.” It has been another busy week at the refuge with an influx of puppies, all of which will soon be looking for new homes once they have had all the necessary medical treatment and given a clean bill of health. Please call 922 778 630 if you would like to adopt a dog,
want to learn more about the refuge, or if you can help out in any way, like dog-walking, for example. It’s a sure way of getting those tails wagging like mad! By the way, towels and blankets are always needed for the animals, if you have any to spare. The refuge is situated at the Poligono Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 on the TF-1, beside the ITER windmills, and is open to the public Monday-Friday from 3-6pm. Accion del Sol’s next fundraising event will be held on Saturday, 6th October and includes a fun competition based on animals called Design a T-shirt.

Harry’s game overshadowed by hole-in-one from Duncan HARRY FLEMING’S victory in the Fun Golfers’ joint Individual Competition and Harry Davis Memorial trophy was slightly overshadowed on Sunday at Los Palos. His nail-biting, one-shot, double-trophy success - on a count-back - should have been the main talking point. Unfortunately for him, Duncan Wallace fired a holein-one at the second to fan the flames on an alreadyscorching morning. Presumably, the traditional drinks-all-round ceremony took place in the bar afterwards, and how the players deserved it after their fine performances. Sam Barry was runner-up to Harry, with Mick Jones securing third place. Jenny Meesham won Nearest the Pin for the Ladies, with Ian Burnley responding for the Gents.

The celebrities' choice of menu is all that stands between them and a place in the final three but will their ingredients, flavours and presentation be enough to impress? Or will they fall short of the mark and with it lose their chance to become the next Celebrity MasterChef Champion?

Miranda Krestovnikoff goes in search of the beautiful and rare white-fronted geese, which every year make an epic migration from Greenland to Ireland to feed on the rich grasses of the Wexford 'Slobs'. Dick Strawbridge takes a ride on 'Brunel's Folly' the dramatic and dangerous coastal railway that the great engineer constructed to cling to the cliff face at Bray Head. Dick learns of the disasters the railway has faced since it opened in 1855. Hermione Cockburn creates an earthquake on Killiney beach to discover how 160 years ago a local man, Robert Mallet, invented seismology, the study of earth tremors that has helped to save countless lives.
Greg Davies: Firing Cheeseballs at a Dog BBC3, 22:00 Greg Davies, star of BAFTAwinning TV series and hit film The Inbetweeners, with his Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated, critically-acclaimed, triple-extended, 109-date sell-out debut solo show, Firing Cheeseballs at a Dog. Can a chance encounter with a stray Spanish dog and a bag of crisps lead to an epiphany and a fresh approach to life? Of course it can't, but is that a reason not to build an entire show around it? This show is the first to ever attempt to chronicle an entire life without offering even the slightest insight into the human condition, every significant incident forensically removed to leave only the lean meat of the trivial.

Downton Abbey ITV1, 21.00 As they face new challenges, the Crawley family and the servants who work for them remain inseparably interlinked.

The secure, serene and ordered world of Downton is rocked by passions below the surface and there are changes above and below stairs. The third series, set in 1920, sees the return of all the much-loved characters in the sumptuous setting of Downton Abbey.

Inheriting a work of art by one of the great Impressionist masters should be a joy, but for Patrick Rice it was a mixed blessing. His small oil painting depicting a ballet dancer on stage has always been thought to be a work by Edgar Hilaire Degas. Unfortunately, since the 1970s, experts have not agreed. The painting, which could be worth around half a million pounds if it is a Degas, is currently worth £200. In a last ditch attempt to discover the truth, Patrick and his son Jonathan ask Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould to handle the case.

Anita Rani and Justin Rowlatt continue their epic car journeys across China, heading for their final destination, the financial mega-city of Shanghai. On her route through the industrialised east, Anita visits some of the country's most sophisticated and luxurious cities. In Qingdao she discovers a little piece of the Loire valley: a Chinese wine chateau with an accompanying vineyard. In Hangzhou she joins a couple on their wedding day, complete with a luxury car fleet. Meanwhile Justin continues his epic journey through the poor, remote Chinese countryside in his loaf-shaped bread van. He bumps rather precariously up the potholed Aizhai Highway, one of China's most dangerous roads, and visits the brand new engineering marvel of the Aizhai Bridge. He explores the life of farmers from the Miao ethnic minority deep in the Hunan countryside, and tries to get to the bottom of Mao Zedong's legacy in contemporary China.

Inspector George Gently BBC1, 20.30 It is now four years since George Gently came north, and four long years since the death of his wife. His work for the Met through the Fifties and Sixties made him many enemies – not only among the criminals he put away, but also among some of his ex-colleagues and the criminals whose interests had become synonymous with them. The seismic forces that displaced him in 1964 are once more active – and have followed him to Durham. Underworld figure, Rattigan, who Gently sent down all those years ago, has been cleared on the grounds that evidence was fabricated by Gently himself, and now he is hell-bent on revenge. Donald MgHee (Kevin Whately), Gently’s friend and colleague from the Met, appears on the scene – but can Gently trust him? Bacchus is torn between his loyalty to Gently and his ambition to make it to the Met. Gently finds himself suspended from duty – powerless, unprotected and persecuted. If he is to survive, Gently must confront his deepest fears and fight to the death. Last in the series.

W C CHOICE James May's Things You Need to Know... BBC2, 22:00 James May distills the essence of all you need to know about chemistry. Have you ever wondered if certain chemicals can make you irresistible to the opposite sex? Well, James has - and with the help of dynamic motion graphics, he will distill the sensuous secrets and explain how our world is really just one big laboratory. Join James as he discovers what sorcerers and scientists have wondered for centuries - whether we can turn lead into gold - and just maybe, shares chemistry's secret to eternal life. Along the way he will reveal how what you flush down your toilet could actually be making you money, how the booze in your bottle could power a jet and why the elements in the periodic table are just like us - they don't all get along.
Food Unwrapped Channel 4, 20:30 Brand new science series Food Unwrapped explores how our food is really made and the industry secrets behind our favourite produce. Reporters Matt Tebbutt, James Watt, Martin Dickie and Kate Quilton travel the globe to discover just how the food we love is mass produced. Food Unwrapped contacts supermarkets and producers with simple questions about the food we buy. If they can't explain it, the gang of hungry detectives stop at nothing to find out, travelling to the food producers who supply the supermarkets to investigate, from Liverpool to Swaziland, and from Thailand to Spain.

Anita Rani and Justin Rowlatt continue their epic car journeys across China, heading for their final destination, the financial mega-city of Shanghai. On her route through the industrialised east, Anita visits some of the country's most sophisticated and luxurious cities. In Qingdao she discovers a little piece of the Loire valley: a Chinese wine chateau with an accompanying vineyard. In Hangzhou she joins a couple on their wedding day, complete with a luxury car fleet. Meanwhile Justin continues his epic journey through the poor, remote Chinese countryside in his loaf-shaped bread van. He bumps rather precariously up the potholed Aizhai Highway, one of China's most dangerous roads, and visits the brand new engineering marvel of the Aizhai Bridge. He explores the life of farmers from the Miao ethnic minority deep in the Hunan countryside, and tries to get to the bottom of Mao Zedong's legacy in contemporary China.

Channel 4 , 20.00 The Food Hospital returns for a brand-new series and this time the experts are back using food to try to tackle an even greater array of common illnesses - from acne and eczema, insomnia and arthritis, to epilepsy and ADHD. Dietitian Lucy Jones, consultant Shaw Somers, GPs Gio Miletto along with Pixie McKenna will take part in series of fun challenges - using the public as willing guinea pigs - to test whether party food sends kids frantic, whether eating berries can make your office more productive and whether putting on weight is linked to when you eat your dinner. The team will also investigate the power of everyday foods, finding out if beetroot can make you run faster, if chilli could speed up your metabolism and even if turmeric could help fight cancer. The medical team will be intervening in the diets of some of the UK’s most extreme eaters and drawing attention to the dangers of fad diets popularised by celebrities. Alongside this, in a nationwide challenge supported by Bowel Cancer UK, viewers can download The Food Hospital app and could take part in the fibre challenge. They will be challenged to eat more fibre and track what happens to their toilet habits. Volunteer identical twins will launch the challenge on the show by embarking on high and low fibre diets before taking part in their own ‘poo race.’ Viewers will be able to follow how the twins are getting on with their fibre diet throughout the series and record their own movements using the specially designed app. The first patient to be seen by the Food Hospital team is Jack from Lincoln, aged 4. Jack suffers from atopic eczema, a skin condition that affects 1 in 5 children in the UK which means his skin often becomes itchy, dry, red and cracked. Jack’s worried parents are at their wits end when they meet with GP Gio Miletto. Blood tests suggest Jack may have a milk allergy so dietitian Lucy Jones pays the family a home visit to set them off on a milkfree diet. A few weeks later, body free of the potential allergen, Jack revisits the Hospital for a food challenge which will conclusively prove whether or not he has a milk allergy. Second to be seen by the medical team is Beth from the Wirral, aged 29. Beth suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis and has already had five joints replaced. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an auto immune disease that affects 400,000 people in the UK and causes painful swelling. When she sees Shaw Somers, Beth’s ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) levels are 28, outside of the normal range. Hoping to reduce these ESR levels, which are the inflammation markers in the blood, Lucy prescribes a calorie controlled high omega 3 diet. Another patient is Adam from Manchester, aged 22 who is terrified of fruit and vegetables. In fact, his diet is utterly devoid of anything fresh consisting of 6 things alone - chicken nuggets, chips, pizza, crisps, cheese on toast and chocolate. Blood tests reveal Adam is low in folic acid, iron and vitamin C. Lucy wants to encourage Adam to try and eat at least one food he’s terrified of and as it’s the texture that leaves him feeling so sick, she wants to turn his dreaded vegetables into something slightly more appealing - crisps! Finally, Dr Pixie McKenna goes on a mission to identify the heroes of the food world. In the first episode, she wants to see if claims that beetroot can increase our performance in sports are true and meets up with Professor Andrew Jones from the University of Exeter who is running a pioneering trial on some Cyclists at the Portsmouth velodrome.

Imagine The Fatwa: Salman’s Story BBC1, 22.45 In this special edition of Imagine, Alan Yentob has been given unique access to Salman Rushdie, author of The Satanic Verses, as he tells the inside story of how it felt to be condemned to death by Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989. To coincide with the publication of his eagerly awaited new memoir, Salman speaks frankly about his life during those 10 years, in which he lived in hiding with full-time police protection and a bounty on his head, scurrying between safe houses, terrified for the life of his young son, hearing horrific news of his publishers and translators being attacked and killed. For the first time, Rushdie’s protection officers speak openly about the challenges of this extraordinary security operation. The programme talks to the friends and writers who gave him shelter, to his close family, to the publisher who nearly died for him, and to the Cambridge don from whom, as a student, he first heard the story of the Satanic Verses.

Tonight ITV1, 19.30 The likelihood is it’s a reality tv star, a glamour model or a footballer’s wife – rather than a ground-breaking scientist or a successful business woman. According to a study carried out earlier this year by Girlguiding UK, the lack of positive role models for girls and young women is having a damaging impact on their career prospects and aspirations. Tonight examines these claims and talks to Olympic gold medal winner Joanna Rowsell and reality tv star Amy Childs about the respective examples they are setting.
Joe Crowley presents the series revealing the potential that vacant properties can offer potential buyers. In this episode Joe meets up with artist and sculptor George Triggs, who has taken on a disused commercial property in Shropshire that he hopes he could both live and work in. He is a renovation novice, and would appreciate guidance on dealing with his local planning department. Joe takes him to meet David and Pamela Ward who live in a converted barn which, like George's warehouse, had never been lived in before. They are on hand with some invaluable advice. We visit an old cotton mill which, after sitting empty for years, is now midway through an exciting transformation; and we catch up with empty property officer Jason Hall as he tackles the issue of vacant buildings in Richmond.

W C CHOICE Wartime Farm BBC2, 20:00 Historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn turn the clock back to run Manor Farm in Hampshire exactly as it would have been during World War 2, when farmers were tasked with doubling domestic food production due to the Nazi blockade. The team tackle the conditions faced by British farmers in late 1940, as the heavy bombing of the Blitz ravaged Britain's cities and drove millions to seek refuge in the countryside. Alex and Peter work in the freezing cold to turn inhabitable outbuildings into refugee shelters, aided by a 94-yearold conscientious objecter who was conscripted as a labourer during the war due to his religious beliefs. They also learn how to set up 'decoy fires' to distract German bombers, whilst Ruth gets involved with the Royal Observer Corps. Finally, with December approaching, the team looks forward to celebrating Christmas - albeit Christmas under rationing, which features the central dish of 'mock turkey'.
Heroes of the Skies Channel 5, 20:00 Douglas Bader. Dramatised documentary series recreating the most heroic airborne combat missions in history. Eight years after Squadron Leader Douglas Bader lost his legs in a flying accident, he led a ragtag squadron of Canadian fighter pilots into battle against Hitler's mighty Luftwaffe. Using bold but controversial tactics, he and his men helped to turn the tide in the crucial Battle of Britain. This is his remarkable story.

Perhaps you wouldn’t feel so relaxed if you knew that each year, thousands of golf injuries require hospital treatment, and expensive golfing equipment millions of euros of gets damaged or stolen. Add to this the risk of having to pay out substantial damages if you are found liable for a shot which caused injury, no matter how slight the risk, and you would be surprised to discover that

Toys R Us Vice-President Troy Peterson said: “Over the past year, we’ve spent considerable time talking to parents and children to determine which features and functions they really want in a kids’ tablet, resulting in tabeo. “We are proud that tabeo offers robust and flexible parental controls, which can help protect children as they surf the Internet. And we are pleased to offer the tabeo App Store, which features only kid-safe content, carefully curated by the Toys R Us team.” The device has
preloaded a number of books, educational programmes and games. Apple’s iPad monopolised around 66% of the global market for tablets, and the company is expected to introduce a smaller version later this year. Amazon, which introduced three new versions of its Kindle Fire last week, claims to have 22% of the US market. Microsoft is launching its Surface tablet in October, and a variety of others on the market use the Google Android operating system.
Thinking of switching banks? SIX in ten people (59%) say they would be more likely to change bank if they could keep their bank account number. A new Which? survey finds that 63% support the introduction of portable account numbers in the UK and three-quarters (76%) believe that this would make switching accounts easier. More than half of people (55%) surveyed have never switched their current account. The findings come as Which? and Andrea Leadsom MP this week hosted a joint event at the House of Commons to encourage banks to introduce portable account numbers. Representatives from Lloyds, RBS, Barclays, HSBC, Metro Bank and Virgin Money are attending along with members of the Treasury Select Committee, and the British Bankers Association.
Page 38
The introduction of portable account numbers means consumers could move their current account to another bank more easily – simply taking their account number with them, removing the need to change existing direct debits and standing orders. This would make switching banks as easy as changing mobile phone providers and would increase competition on the high street, forcing the banks to genuinely compete for customers and therefore incentivising better products and customer service. Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said: “One of the most important ways that consumers can influence the broken banking culture in this country is by voting with their feet and switching to another bank. Yet half of consumers have never changed current accounts.
“With consumer trust in banking at an all time low, we want to see big change in banking with banks for customers, not bankers. We urge the Government to seriously look at introducing portable account numbers to make switching easier for consumers.” Andrea Leadsom MP and member of the Treasury Select Committee said: “Customers are fed up of excuses from their banks. What they want is a massive shake-up of how banks work. Full bank account portability fits the bill perfectly. And it wouldn’t just be customers who’d be better off. “At one stroke, huge barriers to entry for new banks would be torn down. Regulators would instantaneously be able to move deposits out of a failing bank, to prevent a run like we saw with Northern Rock.

Five years on, over half way there! THE RHS Campaign for School Gardening turns five next week (Sept 19) as it celebrates nearly 16,000 school registrations meaning an estimated 3 million children are benefiting from having a garden at school. One in two schools is registered with the Campaign, which is helping achieve aims set out by a DEFRA-backed Taskforce earlier this year. Through the Campaign,
children are eating healthy, home-grown produce, learning where it comes from and being taught lessons in the garden. In addition to this, a further 30,000 pupils have visited RHS Gardens this year to use the education facilities. An RHS report in 2010 looked at the lasting impact of gardening on children and found that it was beneficial to a child’s development and wellbeing. The Campaign is also supported by many TV gardeners including Alan Titchmarsh, Chris Collins and David Domoney.

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) is opening its world-renowned gardens for free on Friday 5 October 2012. ‘Free Day Friday’ is available to everyone with an interest in gardening. On the same day the RHS is also hosting a Plant Society Open Day at each garden. Plants at the charity’s four gardens – RHS Garden Wisley, RHS Garden Hyde Hall, RHS Garden Rosemoor and RHS Garden Harlow Carr – will just be changing into their autumnal colours and, with a lush growing season this year, the colour is set to be spectacular. “Autumn is a truly spectacular time of year in our gardens,” says James Rudoni, RHS Director of Gardens. “We therefore hope that gardeners who already know the beauty of our gardens and those still to visit them will come along and experience some
outstanding scenery. It will also be a great opportunity for people to pick up ideas on how to extend the growing season in their own gardens and get advice on what to be planting before winter sets in.” Visitors to RHS Garden Hyde Hall will be able to see the Malus collection with
crab apples in greens, reds, yellows and oranges. For those down in the South West it is an ideal time to look out for the collection of unusual trees covered in striking autumn hues at RHS Garden Rosemoor. The orchard at the iconic RHS Garden Wisley will be bursting with fruit on its 700 different species and RHS
Garden Harlow Carr won’t let visitors down with its delicate beauty of autumn-flowering bulbs. Local and national horticultural societies will also have displays at each of the gardens. Anyone thinking of joining one can meet with members and chat to them about their activities.

Turn back your clock
I HATE to see our clients put into various groups, such as: “Oh she’s 50 so she needs a shampoo and set.” This is not how we see our more mature clients because we try to treat everyone as an individual. We look at their dress-sense and match this with their hair needs. Everyone likes to have a few years taken off in the salon, but no more so than when you reach your later years. After all, who wants to look her age? I see so many women out and about with hair that’s either too brown (always done a matt-khaki shade) or, the other way, a gingery, artificial blonde which looks so false. Do we not know any other shade for our mature clients? Okay, I’m getting at the fact that sometimes, either the stylist gives up or the client thinks, “Well, I’m older now so who cares”? WE DO! I love turning around a woman who feels she can no longer have something special done to her hair,
Page 40
by showing that she CAN still look her best. Who writes the rules to say after 50, you just have to fade into the background? There are so many style options out there for you mature ladies, so please don’t fall into the trap of thinking that you have to get the rollers out every other day. Learn from your stylist what suits you - and what can be so easy and practical for your hair. Colour-wise, the choices are endless, and it really depends on how extreme or natural you want to be. But please do not live with a colour you don’t like, just because of your age. Style-wise, try not to wear it too long. Keep it soft and feminine, and avoid too many harsh lines in the haircut, such as too blunt a fringe or any “shaved” areas. As I study a client’s hair, I look to see what areas need to be softened and how I can create a more flattering look because there’s no point going with a style you had a long time ago, which now
adds on years and looks dated. Many clients tell me they don’t have the time or the inclination to recreate their look at home. That’s fine by me. Just ask for a precisioncut and your hair will more or less fall into place. There’s always a way around your hair problem. Whether it be the cut or the colour, I’ve yet to come across anything that’s totally unworkable. If you don’t ask us, we can’t help you. If you are spending more than 10-15 minutes on your style, then you’re wasting time because there’s something wrong somewhere. Your style should not have to be “created” - it should be there in the cut and not have to be forced into the hairstyle. So take a look at your style the next time you’re in the mirror doing your hair. Does it do you justice? Does it make the most of your features? And last but not least, when was the last time someone paid you a compliment about your hair? Can’t remember? Think about it!
Dear Christine, I am 18 and have been going out with my 16-year-old girlfriend for eight months. It’s my longest relationship. In our early days together, I cheated on her with her friend. She found out and forgave me, but a month later she cheated on me. We are now having a lot of trouble trusting each other and this is causing arguments. Do you think it’s worth carrying on with the relationship? Also, her friend with whom I cheated has started contacting me again. What should I do? PM You sound very confused about your relationship, as do lots of people when they are in their teens. It can take some time before you realise that things don’t get better by themselves. Indeed, it’s up to you and your girlfriend to decide what you are going to do to make things better between you. Here are some thoughts which could help you make your choice. Firstly, dating and being exclusive to each other are different things. It’s easy to assume when you start going out that you are an exclusive couple, but being exclusive is a choice and a commitment. You may decide that you’ll give your current relationship a go, perhaps in your mind having a cut-off point of 2-3 months in which to decide whether to stick with it or not. I would also advise that you and your girlfriend have a talk, acknowledging that you can’t go back and change the past, so you should both try to accept that you’re starting from where you are. If you’re both willing to commit to the relationship from this
point on, you should decide what you need from each other to feel secure. On your part, wouldn’t it make sense to contact the other girl and say that you’re in a relationship and are not available? You can always add that if in the future you and she are both available, you’ll see if she still wants to go out with you. Alternatively, if you decide you’re not going to work things out with your girlfriend, you can make a friendly split and then contact the other girl. Of course, you and the new one will have to decide together whether you’re going to date exclusively or see other people! Dear Christine I’ve got a horrible problem and don’t know how to get past it. I’m bulimic and have been for about a year now, although it’s only recently that I’ve been able to admit it. I thought I was fat, and in four months I lost about a stone. I’m still a bit overweight, but can’t lose any more weight because I’ve started to binge eat. I eat masses in about two hours, then make myself vomit it all back. In the last week I’ve done this obsessively, not to lose weight but because I have the craving to eat all the time. I really don’t know how to stop myself. I’ve tried to sit and not eat, do things to keep busy, but they just don’t work. I’m too scared to tell anyone else or see a doctor. Please help. Jane I’m very sorry you’re having such problems. I appreciate how out of control people feel when their eating patterns change like this. I have read a great deal on the subject and wrote a chapter on
bulimia in the new edition of my book Coping with Eating Disorders and Body Image. First of all, I urge you to see your doctor. You may be the only person you know who is behaving like this, but there are thousands of others in your situation, and they, too, want to keep it secret. Doctors, however, are used to dealing with people who have eating disorders. You may also find the website at www.anred. com helpful. You say you’ve had the urge to binge only in the last week, so there’s a good chance of you overcoming it fairly quickly. Bingeing can be the way people respond to a number of things, such as low self-esteem or the belief that they deserve to be punished (so have to punish themselves). Well done for admitting to yourself that you have a problem and want to solve it! This shows great courage and strength of character. Wanting to change this is the first step in overcoming it - and how great that you are acting so promptly! No doubt you’re aware that frequent vomiting is bad for you. Stomach acids can, in time, destroy your teeth and damage your mouth, throat and digestive tract, as well as causing bad breath. Imagine how it will feel in your mouth, as you swallow it and as it goes down to your stomach. How will it feel when it’s in your stomach? How will you feel when you’re full? As well as seeing your doctor, why not have counselling, too? This is one of the most effective ways of updating your thoughts about food and body-image. You can find information about a counsellor in the Canarian Weekly, or you can email admin@ita.org.uk. I wish you confidence, self-trust and a speedy recovery.

High-fibre diet keeping mums-to-be in the pink EXPECTANT mothers can reduce the risk of piling on the pounds during pregnancy by switching to a high-fibre diet.. Maternity experts in Ireland have revealed that 400 mumsto-be, who changed their eating habits during their nine-month term, put on an average of 1.5kg less than those who did not. The study, carried out over several years at Dublin’s National Maternity Hospital, found that pregnant women could switch foods and maintain calorie intake without fear of putting on excess weight. Professor Fionnuala McAuliffe, one of the study leads, said the low Glycaemic Index (GI) diet benefited onefifth of women. “Our findings show that women who switch to a low GI diet during pregnancy are 20% less likely to experience excessive weight gain,” she said. “This type of excessive weight-gain during pregnancy is associated with an increased need for delivery by caesarean section, a higher likelihood of post-pregnancy weight retention, and a higher chance of being obese in later life.” Researchers said the best foods for the low (GI) diet were wholegrains, brown
rice and bread. The GI ranks carbohydrates up to 100, according to their effect on blood sugar. The findings, published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), monitored the weight and blood sugar of more than 800 pregnant women. Half were encouraged to maintain the normal quantity of foods eaten and to introduce more items with a low GI. With less sugar, they are far less likely to be converted into fats by the body. The remaining 400 women remained on pre-existing diets, which included white bread, rice and cornflakes. The study found that those on the low GI diet gained an average amount of 12.2kg during pregnancy, while the remaining participants put on an average weight of 13.7kg. The research shows that women who maintain their diet had a 48% chance of excessive weight-gain, and those who switch to low GI a 38% chance. Ms McAuliffe, professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the University College Dublin School of Medicine, said “Overall, the low GI diet women said the diet was easy to follow and to shop for, and 80% said they followed the diet all or most of the time.”
Cruel stigma of mental health THE stigma surrounding mental health issues is still stopping people in need from accessing support.
A survey to mark World Suicide Prevention Day, held on Tuesday, found almost onethird of people would not willingly accept someone with a mental health problem as a close friend. And 62% admitted they would discriminate against hiring someone with a history of mental illness on the grounds that he or she might be unreliable. St Patrick’s University Hospital in Dublin warned that it was crucial for vulnerable people to able to get highquality care from a service they trusted. Some 525 people died from suicide in Ireland last year up from 486 in 2010. Paul Gilligan, chief executive of the mental health and addiction facility, said: “Data
from the World Health Organisation indicate that approximately one million people worldwide die by suicide each year. This translates to one death by suicide every 40 seconds.” St Patrick’s is holding a series of free information evenings every week for families and carers to promote an understanding of the illness. The university’s survey found more than one-fifth
of people quizzed believed those suffering from mental health problems were of below average intelligence. And 42% felt that undergoing treatment for a mental health problem was a sign of personal failure. Dublin’s former world super-bantamweight champion boxer Bernard Dunne also urged people to talk to each other to battle the scourge of suicide. He said people need-
ed to be able to speak about their mental health issues. “Being a man often means that you’re not used to talking to other people about what’s on your mind,” added the 32-year-old. “That stigma has to be lifted. “When I retired from boxing two years ago, I was lucky that I had a strong network around me which encouraged me to open up. Other people are not so lucky.”
New Health MPs adds weight to ‘assisted suicide’ campaign BRITAIN’S Health ministers have joined calls for a fresh look at relaxing the law against assisted suicide. Tory MP Anna Soubry reopened the fraught “right-todie” debate in an outspoken interview with The Times. It came just days after her appointment as Department of Health (DoH) junior minister in David Cameron’s reshuffle. And her Lib-Dem colleague Norman Lamb, who was shifted to the health brief at the same time, believes there is “a strong case” for the present law to be reconsidered. Their interventions sparked strong responses on both sides of the argument, with opponents, including a warn-
ing from the British Medical Association president that any change in the law could put vulnerable people at risk. But MPs also faced a call to go further still from the widow of locked-in syndrome sufferer Tony Nicklinson, who died a week after he lost his legal bid to end his life with a doctor’s help. Jane Nicklinson, whose lawyers say she has a “compelling” case to be allowed to continue her husband’s legal fight, welcomed Ms Soubry’s willingness to “stick her neck out”. But she stressed that rights should not be restricted to the dying. Ms Soubry said: “I think it's ridiculous and appalling that people have to go abroad to end their life, instead of being able to end their life at home. “The rules we have about
14 September - 20 September 2012
who we don’t prosecute simply allow things to happen, but there’s a good argument that we should be a bit more honest about it.” The DoH insisted the Government had no plans to legislate on the issue, saying it was a matter of individual conscience for MPs and could only be decided by Parliament. Since new guidelines for prosecutors in assisted suicide cases were introduced in February 2010, anyone acting with compassion to help end the life of someone who has decided he or she cannot go on is unlikely to face criminal charges. But assisted suicide remains a criminal offence in England and Wales, punishable by up to 14 years in prison. And individual decisions on
prosecution are made on the circumstances in each case. So far, no one has been imprisoned!

Restaurant El Greco, CC Safari, Las Americas
A lingering Mediterranean taste A VISIT to the El Greco Restaurant in the Safari Centre, Las Americas, is one to savour. Trust me! And because my experience of Greek cuisine is limited, I invited three guests who absolutely love the Mediterranean delights. We were warmly welcomed into El Greco which, as usual, was full. And by the time we had received our drinks and admired the montage of Greek images adorning the restaurant interior walls, our terrace table was ready. It’s amazing how you take things for granted. El Greco opened nearly three years ago and I was sure it was a Greek restaurant only. Oh no, there is a fresh-meat counter and a proper charcoal BBQ, on which the meat is cooked to your liking. Now that is a bonus! I would describe El Greco as contemporary Greek, making wide use of olive oil, vegetables and herbs, grains and bread, wine, fish, and various fresh meats. Also important to them are olives, cheese, aubergines, courgettes, and yoghurt. The ambience is relaxed and you are definitely made to feel “at home” with a wide and varied menu from which to choose. As there were four of us, we chose a selection of starters: Mezés served with warm Pitta bread, which was heaven and Pikilia El Greco, which is a selection of dishes, including Tzatziki (the Greek version of alioli, but a lot fresher) and made with yoghurt, cucumber, garlic and olive oil. There was also Melitzano (eggplant salad) - baked aubergine with parsley and mayonnaise - which was simply delicious, and Tirokafteri (feta cheese-dip with chilli and oregano), so perfect for cheese lovers. An unusual starter was Giants, comprising large, white, broad beans in tomato and feta sauce. Okay, they were like cold baked beans but so tasty and my personal favourite. Completing the starters were Elies (olives marinaded in herbs and garlic as you would expect) and Pantzaria (beetroot with garlic and herbs). In addition, we covered all the bases by ordering Halloumi (grilled cheese from Cyprus) and hummus. Absolutely mouth-watering dishes. To be honest, I could easily visit early evening and just order a selection of starters. These, plus a few drinks and great conversation with friends, is my ideal night. And I might just be doing that in the near future.The restaurant offers a range of courses, but if a
Page 42
group of people wish to have a selection of starters such as mezes (like tapas), this option is available. The original El Greco was a 16th Century renaissance painter, sculpto, and architect. El Greco (The Greek) was a nickname referring to his Greek origin. He was born in Greece but moved to Toledo, Spain, in 1577, where he lived and worked until his death. In Toledo, El Greco received several major commissions and produced his best-
known paintings. From a history lesson to the main dishes of the night, and I chose Bifteki Gemisto, which is a home-made beefburger stuffed with feta cheese, served with garlic sauté, beans, provencale sauce and chips. Believe me, it was huge! It tasted like nothing I had ever eaten before, and with each mouthful there was a real taste of the Mediterranean, and so fresh. One of my guests opted for Mousaka. The generous
portion rivalled mine, and the aromas from the plate were awesome. The others had mixed Souvlaki (like a mixed grill). The silence as we tucked in was a testimony to the wonderful food. And no wonder because Greek cookery, historically, was the forerunner to Western cuisine. Apparently, its culinary influence spread - via ancient Rome - throughout Europe and beyond. Our waiter offered us a
selection of authentic homemade desserts and coffee, but we opted for the coffee only as we had no room left for anything else. The Greek cuisine offered at Restaurant El Greco brings with it 1,000 years of tradition, which contains a grand variety of ingredients, including herbs and the usage of the finest olive oil. And all the products are fresh, authentic and of the highest quality If you’re are looking for somewhere different - and
reasonably priced - then El Greco is ideal, whether for a table for two or a large celebration. It is situated in the Safari Centre, with disabled access, and parking underneath. The restaurant is open seven nights a week, and you can book a table by calling 922 793 227. Further information is also on Facebook Restaurant El Greco C.C.

Ryanair incidents stirring up trouble
PUBLIC Works Minister Ana Pastor announced that she is in negotiations with European authorities over a toughening up of sanctions against airlines that breach safety regulations. The move comes in the wake of a series of incidents in Spain involving low-cost carrier Ryanair. She also revealed that the government met in August
with its counterparts in Ireland, where Ryanair is based, to talk about strengthening the Spanish authorities’ powers over foreign airlines with a strong presence in Spain. “It’s good that there is competition in the sector, and that there are low prices, but we are not going to allow for low security,” said the Minister. Pastor said that she was in favour of foreign authorities having the power to withdraw an airline’s license, rather than just the company’s home country. But that would be, she added, an
“extreme” measure, when “serious sanctions are being continuously levied”. The Minister said that she was currently working with the International Civil Aviation Organisation and the European Commission to change the type and the amount of sanctions, which will result in a toughening up of fines for companies that don’t comply with regulations, especially those regarding safety. Without specifically mentioning Ryanair, Pastor cited incidents ranging from the loss of cabin pressure, (which occurred on a flight from Madrid
to Gran Canaria recently,) to problems such as the identification of flights. The Ministry is also investigating three emergency landings involving Ryanair planes in Valencia at the end of July, due to the flights running low on fuel. Ryanair won’t lose Spanish licence THE latest development is that budget airline Ryanair will not lose its operating licence in Spain, following the company’s three emergency landings at Valencia airport on the same day. The European Commission has ruled that Spain does
Tenerife is a winter favourite ACCORDING to a study by two of the most important tour operators in the UK and across Europe, customers of Thomas Cook and First Choice prefer Tenerife over other destinations in the world to spend their next winter holidays. Cabildo Minister of Tourism, Carlos Alonso, said, “This is
Page 44
very good news that affects the standing of Tenerife as a leading destination and consolidates the island as a holiday location, highly appreciated not only by the British but also by many other tourists from the mainland where these tour operators are also present. “It is not surprising that the island spearheads the preferences of European tourists each year, due to its comprehensive range of quality activities that go far beyond the sun and sand, with many ways to enjoy
the nature, traditions or gastronomy of Tenerife,” said Minister Alonso. In the list of popular destinations for winter Tenerife is ahead of Sharm
el Sheik, Egypt, followed by two other Canary Islands, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria, with Mexico occupying fifth place. The British market is the main source of travellers to Tenerife, from which the island received a total of 1,650,000 visitors in 2011, ahead of Spanish, with 1.3 million, and German, which totalled 590,000 in the same period. The total number of tourists that spent their holidays on the island last year totalled 5.16 million.
not have the power to withdraw the Irish airline’s services for a period. Only the state in which the airline is registered has the right to do so, says EC spokesman Dale Kidd. The EC had not been approached by Spanish authorities officially with such a request, but it was aware of the country’s investigations into the emergency landings in July. Now, though, the EC intends to amend regulations covering notification of flight “incidents” by one country concerning airlines registered in another.
Responses to any type of concerns about safety measures applied by airlines, and the application of sanctions or fines, can be made by the country the flight firm is based in only. Ana Pastor, Spain’s Minister of Public Works, will now push for modifications in supervision rules to allow one country to act against an airline based elsewhere when the latter is occupying the former’s airspace. The EC will “fully support” these amendments to the appropriate rules and says supervision of safety issues by the EU is already in place.
Monarch based at East Midlands now AS promised last May, Monarch has opened its base at East Midlands Airport (EMA), which will lead to some new 150 jobs there - and flights to Tenerife and Lanzarote. The airline has stepped in to breach the gap left at the Castle Donington airport following the departure of low-cost operator bmibaby. That company announced in June it was leaving after being purchased by British
Airways from Lufthansa. Monarch will fly to Malaga, Alicante and Faro as well as the two Canary Islands. The closure of the bmibaby base at East Midlands means the loss of about 340 jobs at the airport. But a Monarch spokesman said the company need to fill at least 150 posts by next summer. All bmibaby flights ceased to operate from EMA on Monday, and the final flight left the day before.

Slimline Land Rover luxury LAND ROVER’s new Range Rover not only weighs 420kg less than its predecessor but is also more luxurious. In addition, it is better onroad, more capable when offroad - and full of advanced technology! But despite all of improvements, this updated model will start from £71,295, which is just about the same as the outgoing model. And it is expected to go on sale later this year as a 2013 model. That price is for the new entry-level V6 diesel model, which is actually faster than the V8 in the old Range Rover, thanks to the drastic weight loss. With 254bhp, it launches the Range Rover from 0-60mph in 7.4secs compared with 7.5secs for the old V8. On top of that, the 4.4-litre diesel V8, which puts out 334bhp, completes the 0-60mph sprint in an amazing 6.5secs. But the super-charged 5.0-litre V8 petrol still sits at the top of the range. The new, lower kerb-weight brings benefits to running costs as well, with the V6 capable of 37.7mpg and producing 196g/km of CO2. Previously, the cleanest Range Rover managed only 30.1mpg and 253g/km of CO2. A diesel hybrid will be added in 2013, hoping to achieve 169g/km. There’s a fresh design for the exterior, which helps make this the company’s most aerodynamic model in the range yet, and the interior also feels more luxurious than ever before. There’s also 118mm more leg-room for rear-seat passengers and the option of an Executive seat pack, which includes two large massage seats. Buyers can even specify a 29-speaker Meridian stereo. Personalisation is a big theme for the new Range Rover, so there’s now a choice of 17 interior colour themes, three veneer choices, three headlining colours and a choice of seat colours too. The outside can be specified with a contrasting roof, 37 different paints for the body, a choice of three colours for the side vents and eight alloy wheel designs.
customers are able to order it now. First deliveries will be at the beginning of 2013. Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern admits that creating the new Range Rover was his most daunting task. And be believes that coming up with a new version of a motoring icon such as the Range Rover is a whole lot harder than creating an all-new model, such as the Evoque. “The Evoque didn’t exist, so people had no preconceived ideas,” he said. “But there is nothing else like the Range Rover. We had a big debate over whether to be revolutionary or evolutionary. “Our customers tell us,‘Don’t change it - just make it better.’ So if you go too far you risk losing its DNA. Don’t go far enough and you risk being criticised for being retro. It’s a very fine balance.”
On-road driving has been boosted with the addition of an anti-body roll system and uprated suspension and sound-deadening. Land Rover claims the changes make the Range Rover more refined than a Bentley Flying Spur and about as comfortable as a Mercedes S-Class. The outgoing Range Rover was already impressive offroad, but the new model has been improved in every way. It has better approach and departure angles for steep hills, it can wade through water 90mm deeper than before and there’s a new Terrain Response system too. It now features an Auto setting that allows the car to tweak the car’s responses depending on the terrain. The new Range Rover is being produced at Land Rover’s Solihull plant in the UK at the moment and

past year or so in Europe. But this should open a good few eyes. As it’s the range-topper, the 208 XY gets a panoramic roof, airconditioning, cruise control
and a fine, nappa leather (full-grain sheepskin) upholstery, which comes in black, bronze or as a mix of black leather and alcantara. This stunning model can
be had with a choice of three 1.6-litre diesel engines and two 1.6-litre petrols. But not until next spring, when it goes on sale in the UK - in three and five-door
forms - with prices starting at around £16,000. It’s neat, sweet and lovers of Peugeot super--minis will almost certainly be saving their pennies up.
The GTi is obviously the performance model in the 208 range but, make no mistake, the XY will be the most luxurious version of the French car-maker’s new super-mini. The XY gets purple hints on the 17-inch alloys and lion badge, while the exterior also features chrome trim on the front grille, fog-lamp trims and window trims, and gloss black on the centre pillar. It will be offered in six colours, including the vivid shade of purple pictured. The colour is new to Peugeot, who have a poor time of it over the

The win maintains a fourpoint gap below Palms A, who brushed aside a struggling Naughty Nautas team. Tel, from Gaffers A’s, hit his first 180, AND a 107 finish during a close win over Bar 180 B, while Sundowners lost the trebles and the match at home against the Playboys. Premier league Bar 180 A got

Mitch and Tom both struck 180s as Xtreme got the better of Cozy Wanderers comfortably. Hat-tip of the day in Division
2 goes to Bryn, of Chipeque, who hit his first 180 to help his side ease to a 7-1 win at Phoenix Flames. Bar 180 C remain top with a game in hand after they matched that scoreline at home against Trap Door.

launched a fightback. They have been playing well without getting their dues so far and Ken clawed one back. It was game-on when Conrad and Pat won their rubbers and Jean beat Ken. But the Hammers dug deep to reel off three match-winning frames, before Jean beat Tony to complete the double over “father and son”! Former champions Palms A have now won three on the spin. They were always ahead against Inn The Pink, but a late wobble made it competitive. Graham has been out of form recently, but he stayed strong to take the final frame over Ricky to secure a 7-5 win and all three points 7-5. Terrace A and The Peacocks took a point each from a barnstormer on Amarilla Golf. The visitors claimed the early blood and were 3-1 up. This was swiftly 4-4 as the Terrace found their feet, only for Peacocks to swing ahead once more. They must have feared the worst when Adi beat Carl S to make it 6-5 as they have choked a few times this season. And their fears were realised when Dave S lost the last rubber to grab a draw from the jaws of victory. Next Door are

Ourense 2 CD Tenerife 3 CD Marino 0 Coruxo 0 CD TENERIFE have a three-point lead at the top of the table after just three matches. Another fine performance sees them striding away from the pack, fuelling the fans expectations. This could be the season for CDT. Forgive me if I don’t get carried away just yet. We have been here before. But there is no denying it’s an excellent start. Despite the best efforts of referee Jose Hernandez Cifuentes, Tenerife were always in control against an Ourense side who had their moments. It was Tenerife's “Little ’n’ Large” who again made the difference. Little Luismi got the ball rolling midway through the first half. His sweet 25-yard free-kick fizzed past the keeper and nestled in the top right-hand corner. It was a stunner from the little wizard. Ten minutes later it was 2-0. Ourense’s defence got their wires crossed and, when the ball fell to Aridane in the box, he was given the simplest of chances and duly side-footed the ball home. Simples! That’s four goals in three games for the lanky striker. By this time, the ref had already shown three yellow cards. He would eventually book 10 players and send off Yebra late on for the hosts. Yet it wasn’t that sort of match. Yeray was making his full debut in midfield in place of David Medina, who was unlucky to be dropped. Yeray played well alongside Ros, who looks better with every start. At 2-0 Tenerife were comfortable, even when the gutsy home attack went forward. They had their chances, but there is a reason why Sergio Aragoneses is the best keeper outside the top two divisions. One save in particular from a Giraldez effort was worth the admission fee. With 15 minutes to go, the game looked over. Victor Bravo was brought on for his first action of the season, but his rustiness was there for all to see. I lost count of the number of

times he gave the ball away, and this gave Ourense a head of steam. Eventually they made the pressure count as Jona pulled one back. Gameon! Suddenly, Tenerife looked nervous. Aragoneses came to the rescue and then, in the 89th minute, a sweet effort from Victor Bravo looked to have settled matters. Only the ref wasn’t finished. Mysteriously, he gave the hosts a series of free-kicks, including one inside the box. The resultant shot pole-axed Luismi, yet the ref said he handled the ball. He gave the penalty, then booked the player. But if it were a handball, it should have been a red card! Baffling. Giraldez smashed the kick home and the hosts raced the ball back to the centre spot. But moments after Tenerife kicked off, Cifuentes blew for full-time, even though there should have been at least a minute to play. Tenerife didn’t care, but Ourense coach Jose Luis Miguez certainly did. Let’s just say he went a bit nuts. “How did he not send him off?” he asked at the press conference. “They had four shots and scored three goals. It’s the
14 September - 20 September 2012
same when we play the big teams.” He’s not entirely accurate, but I take what he is saying. In Spain, as in England, the big sides seem to get the rub of the green, but this was not a streaky win. Tenerife were good value for it. Meanwhile, in Las Americas, crisis club CD Marino finally have something to celebrate. They are off the mark after a tepid draw with fellow-strugglers Coruxo. In a game of few chances, Marino will be pleased with the point and clean sheet, but the game was there to be won. The off-field internal fighting is not helping. Just 200 people turned up, and that is markedly DOWN on last season. You would think support would increase at a higher standard. But a plethora of bad press, high ticket prices and the current economic situation has led to this latest setback. Veteran striker Noah hopes the situation gets better. “It's no fun playing football when there is no atmosphere,” he said. “We need to have a bigger support than just 200 people. We are trying our best
on the pitch, but we need help.” This weekend, Marino travel to face the “other” CD Marino, Luanco. They have made a decent start, winning two matches, and they were a little unlucky to lose at Salamanca last week. CD Tenerife will host

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) A sudden boost to your image appears to be down to all the socialising and networking you did last week. It may, however, place the limelight a little too strongly on you, as you find it hard to get any real time for yourself or your loved ones. But don’t worry as this is a temporary setback only. S AG I T TA R I U S (November 23rdDecember 21st) Your cash-flow problem is at long last sorting itself out, and things are beginning to go in your favour. Your relationships are also blossoming, and your life should start to take on a much more relaxed and contented feel. Make sure you keep in contact with a friend who moved away this year because he/she could be behind the trip of a lifetime you make C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) You are going to be meeting a lot of new people, who can add a real spark to your future. You have been bored recently, but the merry-go-round you have been on has definitely been exchanged for something
Page 48
which resembles more of a roller-coaster. It’s time to take control my friend, even if it means upsetting close ones. AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) All the questions you have wanted answers to are at last going to be met with explanations. You knew the end results, but you just didn’t want to tempt fate. Emotions run high this weekend as plans for your future are decided and announced. That means a lot of hard work from next week onwards, so get all the rest you can. PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) You may feel as if you are not getting the help you need with your career, but you must ask for things you want. As you’ll soon discover, your family assumed you wanted some space and were only reacting to the vibes you have been giving off. The number two links to a person who can help replenish those muchneeded funds after the weekend. ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) You may well find the older generation are a bit of a responsibility, and you may have to give up some of your spare time to help them out. This does seem to be a temporary phase only, so try not to make too much of a scene, as they are unlikely to forget your reaction. Mars brings quick changes in your work, which are sure to turn out to be a blessing in disguise. TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) On the whole, this should be a busy and rewarding couple of
weeks, but you would be well advised to take things easy at first. A tired mind could see you making some silly mistakes of if you don’t. Don’t think you can get away with impulsive actions, either, because close ones are watching! GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) Hard work will lead you too many rewards. In fact, the research you have put into your career is going to give you a head start in a new, exciting project which will be occurring soon. Love proves testing, too, as a case of crossed wires brings up issues to which you wouldn’t usually give the time of day. CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) You are going to be tempted to spill the beans on something that you have long held in your mind. Wait just a little longer and you should see the final chapter to your story, which involves a gathering you’ll be asked to attend. Some people know the truth behind those white lies being told at work. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) You may be feeling tired before you have even begun, but just take it nice and easy and everything should go according to plan. You have a lot on your mind right now and it is not surprising that you are feeling the strain. Accept the offer of a night out from a new friend as it should be just the tonic you need.
