Spain announces new spending cuts AS many had predicted, the budget for 2013 is harsh, according to immediate reaction from analysts. As we go to press we bring you live coverage of the announcement that will determine the immediate future of the country and its relationship with the rest of Europe. Speaking outside the cabinet office, Government Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria began the announcement with a statement saying that there will be a new independent budgetary authority, which will monitor deficit reduction and government spending. She said that some 43 new laws to reform the Spanish economy will be put forward over the next six months. Spain will adopt new measures to reform public administration and deepen labour market reform. Energy, services and telecom sectors will be liberalised further. A new car scrapping scheme will be introduced to try and boost the automotive sector. As expected, the Government will adopt measures to limit early retirement and will also put its hand into the state social security reserve fund to remove three billion euros in order to cover liquidity problems in Spain’s old-age pen-
sion system. Luis De Guindos, Finance Minister, announced measures to dissuade people from taking early retirement, rather than do anything more radical, such as raising the age from 65 to 67, as had been predicted in some quarters. Guindos was repeatedly stressing how each reform is in line with European recommendations. Analysts are already commenting that by keeping close to recommendations made by the European Commission, both Brussels and Madrid believe that, if a request for bailout aid comes, eurozone
lenders will not impose more onerous conditions on them in return for the assistance. On whether the country will head to Brussels to seek a full-scale rescue, Guindos says that Spain is still analysing conditions of the ECB bond buying programme, and that a decision will be made when the impact on Spain and the eurozone is fully known. Spanish Treasury Minister Cristobal Montoro, said he sees a “soft recession” in 2013, which he hopes will be the last year of the crisis. The actual growth number is -0.5 per cent. Montoro
says adjustment in spending will be worth 0.77 per cent of GDP in 2013. Adjustment in revenue will be worth 0.56 per cent of GDP. These cuts are aimed at chopping 40 billion euros off Spain’s budget deficit next year. The government believes unemployment has bottomed out and is predicting an average rate of 24.3 per cent for next year. Absolutely terrible news for Spaniards: in future, lottery wins over 2,500 euros will be taxed for the first time at a rate of 20 per cent under the new gambling tax.
More seriously, Montoro says the interest bill on Spain’s public debt will rise next year from 28.8 billion in 2012 to 38.6 billion. That is higher than expected and will wipe out almost all the increased take from VAT. Also in the mix were figures stating that the tax take next year would rise from 170 billion to 175 billion. Government ministry spending will fall by 8.9 per cent. The government announced that it wants its people to take away the message that with all the spending cuts, just under 64 per cent of its budget will
still go on what it calls “social spending,” such as pensions, benefits, etc. As we go to press, the Ministers are taking questions. In our issue next week we will bring readers a fuller analysis of what this 2013 budget could signal for the future. But as readers will recall, before the release of the budget details, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy stressed his commitment to fiscal and structural reforms, saying that all segments of Spanish society will need to make Continued on page 3.

Tenerife Blue Trail TENERIFE has a great setting for this mountain sport, bringing together geographical features to design complete and unique paths, both technically and landscaping. So in 2011, the Island Council took over the organization of this event, incorporating substantial improvements
to existing races, such as the creation of four modes in one event, and more technical tours and attractions. Tenerife Blue Trail is on October 20th this year - subscription is open until midnight Oct 6th. The Tenerife Bluetrail is a project promoted by the Environment Areas, Sports and Tourism of the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife and has the support of the Department of Roads and Landscape

More than 1,000 riot police blocked off access to the Parliament building in the heart of Madrid, forcing most protesters to crowd nearby avenues and shutting down traffic at the height of the evening rush hour.The demonstration, organised with an “Occupy Congress” slogan, drew protesters from all walks of life weary of nine straight months of painful economic austerity measures imposed by Rajoy and his solid majority of lawmakers. Spain is struggling in its second recession in three years with unemployment near 25 per cent. The country had introduced austerity measures and economic reforms in a bid to convince its euro partners and investors that it is serious about reducing its bloated deficit to 6.3 per cent of gross domestic product in 2012 and 4.5 per cent next year. The deficit reached 50.1 billion euros, equivalent to 4.77 per cent of GDP, through August, the government said. European markets, which dropped sharply on increased fears for Spain and the euro crisis, edged higher as they
awaited news on Spain’s new policies. Rajoy was expected to unveil plans that would go some way towards addressing reforms requested by the EU and win over sceptical investors. Investors who fear that Spain, the eurozone’s fourth largest economy and now at the centre of the debt crisis, cannot control its finances and that Mr Rajoy does not have the political will to take unpopular measures. However, his attempts to cut the country’s debt and reduce its deficit are hampered by public anger, falling tax revenues and a shrinking economy. The Bank of Spain said on the day before the budget that the economy had shrunk at a “significant rate” in the third quarter, with all major indicators deteriorating. Rajoy has been reluctant to ask for aid until now, saying that he would not request a full sovereign bail-out unless borrowing costs go “too high, for too long”. Spain is negotiating the terms of a European aid package that would trigger a European Central Bank bond-buying programme and ease Madrid’s unsustainable borrowing costs. However, protests against cutbacks make it more difficult for the Prime Minister to request aid or to implement austerity measures, a condition for Spain to receive support from the European Central Bank.

Besides having a high technical quality, this race
is an opportunity to meet extraordinary places on this island, in some cases “undiscovered territory” through the Red Island Trail, which in recent years has been expanded and improved substantially. These features allow positioning the Bluetrail Tenerife in the European calendar of mountain races. Tenerife Bluetrail is planned and implemented at all times
following basic principles of environmental responsibility, seeking responsible behaviors that minimize energy consumption and waste production. This means that, once known carbon emissions generated by the event, there is a commitment to neutralise with reforestation projects, improved forest management, creating gardens or use woody
biomass as a substitute for fossil fuels. Finally, and not least it is also committed to solidarity, promoting the participation of all people through its various forms, as well as the promotion of healthy behaviours, encouraging sports and contact with nature.

Joe Longthorne storms Showtime By Jamie Drew
LAST weekend saw the long awaited arrival of Joe Longthorne MBE to the Island. At a little over halfway through his 100-date world tour, Tenerife played host to this amazing entertainer with a truly unique voice. Having dealt with some harrowing health issues over the years, Joe has continued to perform to sell-out crowds around the globe while receiving treatment for leukaemia. So, as you can imagine, those who have followed his career were over the moon to be able to see him perform here. Musical Director Andy Mudd is an extremely talented musician and has toured with Joe extensively over the years, which shows on stage as you sense the chemistry between them from the onset. The closeness and intimacy of the audience made it all the more special at Showtime, with Joe able to interact easily
with the audience. Comedian Steve Salter opened the show with quickwitted comedy, warming the audience nicely before the main event. And then, there he was, the man himself on stage in Tenerife. The audience’s attention was captured instantly and it was pleasing to see everyone so engaged. In fact, the only noise coming from the audience was the applause and cheers at the end of each song. You could tell straight away that this was going to be a special evening. Joe shot to fame throughout the Eighties and was known for his vocal impressions of other singers. A lot of the audience were waiting for these impersonations, and they were not disappointed. After a few songs, Joe dropped in and out of various characters.
These included a convincing “Rigsby”. (TV’s Rising Damp sitcom), which he used to deliver a few oneliners before moving on to definitive voices like Frank Sinatra, Tom Jones and an extremely entertaining Barry Manilow impression picking out his S’s, perfectly to accentuate Barry’s small lisp. But the pièce de résistance of his vocal impressions was captured in his vocal and visual caricature of Dame Shirley, an obvious audience favourite. Joe manages to combine the amazing skill of changing his voice to get the phrasing and sound of the person, with the facial expressions of the star, too. This just adds to the entertainment value of what you’re watching and hearing. It was also marvellous to see some people who didn’t know a great deal about Joe
Longthorne experiencing his talent for the first time. To see the look on their faces when they heard this unique voice was priceless. There were some nice comments on social network sites after the shows, one in particular from Stefan D, which read: “Gotta admit it, I did not believe what I witnessed last night. So I went back again tonight to confirm it. A venue with a full-to-capacity audience mesmorised & in silence for 90 minutes. It’s true, it happened again tonight. JOE LONGTHORNE (not forgetting the talents of Andy Mudd) Sir! you are a legend! You deserve every compliment you receive.” This summed his performances up brilliantly. Everyone there went away totally satisfied, and those who wanted to meet Joe after the show did so. Something which makes him so loveable to his fan base is the close connection he has with his adoring audience. If he meets you once, he’ll never forget you. He’s a living legend in every respect and Tenerife will look forward to more sell-out concerts in the forthcoming months. Fingers crossed, Joe Longthorne will be back!

conditions,” he said. Today the situation seems to have worsened, according to residents, including, among other things the inadequacy of beach services with no showers, beautification and cleanliness and water control. Another area of grave concern is sanitation and street cleaning, particularly in some areas where rubbish awaits collection for several days. The association would also like to see improved communications between neighbouring Callao Salvaje and La Caleta, if not by road then at least pedestrian or bicycle lanes. Moreno announced that he will ask the local government what it intends to do to resolve the situation.
Arona to hire new Brit and his cat rescued from boat Planning Director SANTIAGO del Teide local police intervened recently in the rescue of a 12 metre boat whose home port is in Britain and was adrift about 50 metres offshore, between the beach at Los Guíos and the cliffs of Los Gigantes. The two engines and the batteries had ceased to function and the boat was at risk of capsizing or crashing against the rocks, due to the strong waves that were affecting the coastal zone.
The local services alerted the Maritime Rescue brigade and the sailor, whose life was clearly at risk, was rescued when a boat from the Los Gigantes marina came to his aid. He had resisted leaving his boat but was convinced in the end when he was assured that the rescue services would do all in their power to bring his boast safely to shore. Subsequently, a Maritime Rescue boat approached the scene and towed the craft back to the harbour. The occupant of the boat was travelling alone with his cat, having set sail from England. He had been at La Gomera and was headed to Gran Canaria.
THE ARONA City Council will soon be hiring a Director of Urban Planning, who will analyse functions, evaluate and define a strategy with the General Plan of the municipality, and will also provide a stimulus for the economy and job creation, according to Arona’s Town Planning Councillor, Carmelo Garcia. This new figure, says Garcia, “Will allow us to make a road map of the town or municipality model we want for the future and it will open the possibility of making the necessary changes”. Other commitments to be met by the Planning Director will be supervision and inspection of the
management and activity planning, monitoring and coordination of management tools, and the management and monitoring of the area of urban planning in order to achieve maximum efficiency among all of these administrative procedures. Garcia said that the Planning Director recruitment drive is already in the final stages and has set the period between 2013 and 2015 to achieve the objectives. In this regard, he stresses that while the whole municipality of Arona is important, of special significance are Parque de la Reina, Arona town, Valle San Lorenzo, El Palmar, El Mojón, Ten-Bel and La Camella .

residents, says the conditions he found, following the act of reception into the Adeje Municipality which occurred last May, is unfortunate, “To the extent that it has caused unease and disappointment among both local businesses and residents.” Back in May, Playa Paraiso and Callao Salvaje became part of Adeje’s City Council, after a unanimously approved plenary agreement and the local
residents were hopeful that they would soon receive their share of public benefits and entitlements. In previous years, they had paid taxes, such as IBI, to the Urban Conservation Authority (EUC), which was responsible for maintaining the estates pending their acceptance into the Adeje Municipality. At that time the president of the neighbourhood association, Fernando Fabregas, expressed his satisfaction with the agreement and stated that it was time for a number of improvements to be made to the zone. “There are things that can be done that don’t cost a lot, because of course we are aware of the crisis, but with political will they can greatly improve living

Arona recognised for its work with the disabled THE Municipality of Arona is becoming an evermore popular destination for the disabled, thanks to the accessibility of its beaches.
Playa Las Vistas, in Los Cristianos, has seen a “significant increase” in specially designed aquatic chair use, reports Arona’s
Tourism Councillor, Francisco José Niño, and head of the local Environment Department, Antonio Sosa. This service is provided by Arona’s lifeguard team, and is one of the reasons why Las Vistas was awarded the Universal Accessibility certification by the Spanish Association for Standardisation (AENOR). The beach is one of only five throughout Spain that have this recognition.
Francisco José Niño considers this award as, “Recognition of the work that has been done by the Municipality of Arona, in collaboration with SINPROMI, under the Accessible Tourism Destination Development in Macaronesia”. In addition to the chairs, the adapted bathrooms are a great help and have two types of users, young people disabled by severe motor disabilities and seniors. In
addition, the adapted chairs that mean users are able to enjoy the sea, is a service that is provided throughout the year, since in Arona the tourism season is all year long. Thanks to this new service, first introduced in 2003, Arona was granted the southern District of Distinction award, under the theme ‘Breaking of architectural barriers and care for people with disabilities’.
New plan for fish farms THE Regional Management Plan for Aquaculture in the Canarias, (PROAC), so necessary for the sector, could be approved next year, (with the end of 2013 as the deadline), after waiting four years to resolve various issues. At least that is the intention of the Canary Islands’ Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Water,
Juan Ramon Hernandez, who spoke at a recent parliamentary hearing. The head of the regional body said that this plan seeks to have an open character, bringing together conditions that,“contemplate new knowledge about the marine environment and new production techniques, as well as the particular development needs and

promotion of aquaculture in the Archipelago “. Meanwhile, the fish farmers, who have suffered a widespread downturn in the Canaries, commented, “It is key for the industry to be a properly ordered activity and I am optimistic that things will recover”, said aquaculture entrepreneur, Carlos Rondon, who says that in Tenerife, all cages,
with a total of forty active right now, are in the South, in Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje. The rest, at Guía de Isora (the Abama area and Playa de San Juan) and Los Gigantes, have disappeared. Companies have gone bankrupt and have taken up conventional fishing from boats. “This year is a little better than last, producing between 1.5 and two million kilos of fish (sea bass and sea bream), of which a portion is exported to the mainland and the rest is sold in the Islands,” said Rondon. The regional government reiterated that the main objective is to create an administrative framework to effectively manage aquaculture within specific areas of development. They consider the concept of management should be twofold, namely, allowing and encouraging production, while taking into account the need to conserve and protect the environment and natural resources.
OCTOBER is Breast Cancer Awareness Month when everything is awash with the colour pink to provide support for breast cancer charities and to remind woman of the importance of breast examinations.
It all started in the early 1990s when Americans Evelyn Lauder and her friend Alexandra Penney introduced the idea. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is celebrated with many pink fundraisers but there is a serious message behind the fun with 50,000 people diagnosed each year. At Breast Cancer Care each October, and throughout the year, they reach out to thousands of women to encourage them to be breast aware and to know the signs and symptoms of breast cancer. During this month the Breast Cancer charity expect to answer around 15,000 calls on their confidential Helpline. But since Breast Cancer Awareness Month began in 1993, the message has remained the same: be breast aware and know the signs and symptoms of breast cancer. It’s a simple formula; early detection can lead to simpler and more effective treatment. Last year, 1.9 million people sought information or support from www. breastcancercare.org.uk The number of people being diagnosed with breast cancer is increasing, but the good news is survival rates are improving. This is probably because of more targeted treatments, earlier detection and better breast awareness. Did you know?
The biggest risk factor, after gender, is increasing age – 80% of breast cancers occur in women over the age of 50. Breast cancer also affects men, but it’s rare – around 300 men are diagnosed each year. Breast cancer is not one single disease there are several types of breast cancer. Not all breast cancers show as a lump, and not all breast lumps are breast cancer. Less than 10% of breast cancer runs in families, so having someone in your family with breast cancer doesn’t necessarily mean your own risk is increased. Around 50,000 new cases of invasive and non-invasive breast cancer are diagnosed each year in the UK. Nearly 12,000 people die from breast cancer in the UK every year. Breast cancer is the second biggest cause of death from cancer for women in the UK, after lung cancer. There are an estimated 550,000 people living in the UK today who have had a diagnosis of breast cancer. In women under the age of 35, breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer. This month alone around 4,000 people will receive the devastating news they have breast cancer. It’s a sobering thought, but that’s why breast cancer needs your support. Until next week…

USA - Big Brother of the air space? IN DECEMBER, the United States and the European Commission signed an agreement, approved by the European Parliament in April, which makes it mandatory for all airlines to give the US Department of Homeland Security information on all passengers arriving to and departing from the United States.
But since March, US authorities have been demanding that all European carriers turn over the name, date of birth and gender of each passenger before takeoff. The programme is known as Secure Flight Overflight and is administered by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), a Homeland Security agency. The TSA maintains “No Fly” and “Automatic Selectee” watch-lists.
In demanding the records, US officials argue that some passengers may be on the US “blacklists” of people who are thought to be terrorists planning to hijack a plane. Airlines are obliged to provide all information concerning passengers to US authorities and if they don’t, they cannot enter US airspace. US security officials also have the authority to keep any passenger from boarding the plane. The passenger prescreening program, which was signed between the United States and the Spanish Interior Ministry in 2009, is controversial. Not only do US officials have personal data registered, but they can also determine how many times a person has travelled to Cuba. US citizens, for the most part, are restricted from travelling to Cuba without a special license from the US Treasury Department. Washington also warns US citizens from travelling to North Korea and Iran. It is difficult to determine how many people in Spain have been affected by this US policy. In Spain thousands
of passengers who have travelled to Cuba, Canada and Mexico have all been screened. Compounding this problem, carriers such as Air Europa, Iberia and Aeroméxico don’t regularly inform passengers that their personal data will be turned over to Washington. Only the Canadian carrier Air Transat informs passengers; Air Europa and Aeroméxico said they will begin doing so shortly. “The lack of information is a clear violation of the personal data protection law,” says Rubén Sánchez of the Facua consumers association. “Anyone who turns over personal data must inform the person who is affected. This entire program is an unfair US measure.” The Consumers and Buyers Organization (OCU) also agrees. In May, lawmakers from the United Left (IU) coalition questioned the Popular Party (PP) government over whether passenger prescreening was legal. The government informed the IU that it was protected under a broader US-EU treaty that
set up the PNR program. However, flights that cross into US airspace, without landing at a US airport, are not included. According to the treaty’s second article, pre-screening will only be conducted in “airline carriers that operate passenger flights to and from the European Union and the United States.” A spokesman for the European Commission has also confirmed that the treaty does not include flights that just cross US airspace. The Spanish Agency for the Protection of Personal Data says it is “very concerned” about this practice. “What guarantees exist that this information will be kept confidential?” asked a spokesman for the agency. Even the airlines are in doubt over whether they have the legal duty to inform Washington about their passengers if they cross US airspace. Iberia said that it only does so on flights to Mexico, but not on the Madrid-Havana route. But Air Europa says it turns over pre-screening information on all its flights to avoid facing fines.
Echeyde water polo club prepare THE ECHEYDE water polo club is preparing for its new season in Guía de Isora. The polo club has chosen the Centro de Hidroterapia y Salud in Guia de Isora for a meeting on the weekend of September 29th, ahead of their new season in the national first division. The season will begin on October 20th when they will play host to the Poble
Nou Barcelona team. David Rivas, President of the Tenerife club, praised the quality of the local sports facilities, as well as the
Youth Hostel available from the Council of Guía de Isora. Rivas thanked the Guía de Isora Department of Sports
for their cooperation and willingness to make this event one that can be held in such excellent municipal facilities.
Get ready for flu season! IT MAY seem a long way off, with the sun shining and temperatures still up there, but it is time to start thinking about getting your annual flu jab. According to medical studies, the flu vaccination could reduce by 50% the number of deaths occurring
in Spain as a result of this disease, which would mean a fall to below the current 2,000 direct deaths annually. Specifically, as reported by the President of the Madrid Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology), Pedro Gil Gregorio, in the vaccination
campaign of 2010-2011 about 1,900 people died in Spain as a result of influenza, of which 90% were older than 70 and 85% had not been vaccinated. “This data demonstrates that influenza is a major public health problem,” said Pedro Gil, who placed
special emphasis on the need to vaccinate people over 60, people with chronic diseases, pregnant women, health workers and caregivers. Most local health centres will begin to offer the jabs in October, just make enquiries with the nurse.

Solidarity with La Gomera TWO charity functions held recently in Guía de Isora raised just over 1,500 euros, which will go to the victims of the August fire on the
island of La Gomera. The first event took place in the Hornos del Teide restaurant in Chiguergue, where its owner, Sergio Diaz,

Electric car for Capital’s tram service THE company that manages the Capital’s tram service, Metropolitano de Tenerife, has added an electric car to its fleet, the Peugeot iON, which will be used by maintenance personnel. The company has also installed in its workshops and garages an outlet that will connect the vehicle with electric power. This new car was unveiled recently at a press conference attended by the heads of the Cabildo, the company, the firm Peugeot
and Endesa. This acquisition is part of the company’s intention of contributing to environmental care. During the press conference, the Minister of Economy and Competitiveness, Carlos Alonso, said that the company also has a
28 September - 04 October 2012
photovoltaic plant that contributes 16 per cent of the energy used by the tram. The Tenerife Tram is an energy-efficient means of transport, of low power consumption and high capacity, with the ability to ship more than 50,000 people daily.
While CO2 emissions are produced by the operation of the tram, they are lower than an internal combustion engine. In the past year, for instance, the tram carried some 14 million paying passengers, yet emitted 3.8 times less CO2 per passenger per kilometre than a car with a single occupant or 2.7 times less than a city bus. Attending the meeting was the President of Metropolitano de Tenerife (MTSA), Carlos Alonso, the Managing Director of MTSA, Andrés Muñoz de Dios, and Cabildo Mobility Director, Manuel Ortega. Also in attendance was the Director of Peugeot in the Canary Islands, José Román Alonso, the head of electric vehicles, Ricardo de Lombas, director of sales, José Carlos Jimenez, David Aguiar and David Heredia, Automotive and Canary Island managers respectively. Representing MTSA, Carlos Alonso, said that this new addition is a big step ahead for sustainable development in the field of transport and for a more rational use of space and energy resources. He also thanked the Peugeot business collaboration and Endesa for their collaboration in achieving this project.

Unrest boosts tourist figures THE CANARY Islands are set to once again benefit from the International unrest around the Mediterranean which is set to divert tourists to the Canaries during this winter season. The continuous riots in several areas of the Mediterranean have alarmed tour operators who are looking at the Canaries as an alternative destination to divert thousands of tourists. Tourist offices in Germany and Britain are advising against travelling to countries experiencing unrest, among which are Tunisia and Egypt, who are the Canary Islands direct
competitors for tourism. In addition, the economic crisis, rising oil prices and increased costs for airlines have heightened susceptibility of wholesalers. The experience of the Arab Spring has forced wholesalers to react quickly, aware of the losses that involve changing holiday destinations at the last minute. From United Kingdom, Germany, Scandinavia and France are making a move to expand the quota of beds in the Canary Islands this winter, according to several industry sources confirmed. Airlines are also redirecting part of their fleet to the islands airports and are booking new airspaces (slots) to ensure demand for the routes and frequencies in the coming months.
Santiago del Teide tax bonus
SANTIAGO del Teide City Council plans to have reduced the municipality’s tax burden by the end of the month. Local Hacienda Councillor Emilio Navarro said the decision was taken because of the corporation’s financial health. Among the series of measures will be the creation of a new bonus on taxes, such as the IBI, the municipal capital gains (to encourage the purchase and sale of properties), the Motor Vehicle Tax and the amendment of certain fees. Specifically, in the Ordinance Regulating Urban Property Tax (IBI), the Council will cut the current 0.413%
Page 8
fixed tax rate to 0.40%, which is the minimum allowed by law. With regard to vehicle tax, it also aims to create a new bonus for electric-powered vehicles and hybrids, with a 75% saving for the non-internal combustion engine which are electric, fuel cell or zero-direct emissions. A 50% tax bonus will apply to electric vehicles-combustion engine (hybrid or bimodal). The Ordinance regulating the Increase in Value of Urban Land, better known as plusvalía (local capital gains tax)), will modify the 30% tax rate to 25%. In addition, the City Council will not charge for residence and travel certificates when obtained from the local electronic office.
El Medano holds a science forum EL MEDANO will be hosting the Second Scientific Forum on Heritage, Geotourism and Biodiversity on September 28th and 29th, which aims to re-evaluate the natural values of the Island’s environment. The announcement was just made by the Granadilla
Environment Councillor Jacob Donate, who has organised this forum in collaboration with the Volcano Institute of the Canary Islands (Involcan), the Association of Friends of the Museum of Nature and Man and the El Medano Hotel. Jacob Donate said that the landscape and heritage
resources (geological and cultural,) are an “interesting optional source of economic dynamism that will appeal to residents and visitors.” Donate said that the interest is particularly in the field of alternative tourism, “Which can help boost the local economy and create
awareness of environmental caretaking.” The forum will present and propose different views from scientific disciplines such as geography, geology, biology or environmental education, in addition to presenting the Municipality’s geological make-up.
Case to free Morgan the Orca now closed The Petitions Committee at the European Parliament has just closed the case in which the organisation in defence of animal rights, the “Great Ape Project,” had called for Morgan, one of the Orcas at Loro Parque, to be freed. The organisation presented a report to Parliament stating that the orca, which had been moved from the Hardwick dolphinarium in Holland to Tenerife last year, was in danger at Loro Parque and should be released into the sea as soon as possible. “The health and welfare of Morgan will be seriously harmed if left in captivity,” says the text sent to MEPs. The chairman of the Petitions Committee, Italian Erminia Mazzoni (PPE), ordered the closure of the case in Parliament, after hearing the views of both the European Commission and several MEPs, including Spain’s Pilar Ayuso and Gabriel Mato, PP, and Miguel Angel Martínez Martínez (PSOE). An EC spokesman said that Spain and the Netherlands have met European standards in the import and export trade of wild animals, with European Zoo certifications and that Loro Parque has all
permits in order. Spain’s MEP Ayuso said she had visited the premises where Morgan is living and found them to be, “in excellent condition.” Ayuso added, “This whale belongs to a species typically found in Scandinavian waters. They feed on herring family fish and nothing else so if she is returned to the sea she would die soon, I believe.” Gabriel Mato said he, “corroborates” the grounds for his companion’s arguments and asked MEPs who were reluctant to close the case to visit the facilities of Loro Parque in the Canary Islands. The socialist Martinez Martinez said, “We must trust our peers who know the case closely and are aware of the situation” and supported the call to close the petition. As yet there has been no
response from the organisers of the appeal to free Morgan. However, they stand behind their original case, “GAP Project Spain remains steadfast in the struggle to free Morgan in the Atlantic Ocean, along with a coalition of organisations fighting for the same purpose. And a new enhancement has been added to this fight. Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of legendary Commander Cousteau, reinforced the movement to free the whale, who remains in a water tank at Loro Parque, where he was sent by the Government of the Netherlands. Even the Queen of Spain joined the controversy when, in response to a request from the GAP Project Spain, sent a letter to the Ministry of Environment of her country, questioning the reasons for
keeping Morgan as a prisoner. One of the obstacles to release Morgan in the ocean is the need to find members of his original group, so he can be easily integrated and not be rejected. Biologist Heike Vester announced last July 18th that he had located a male - identified as P118 which presumably appears to be part of the group where Morgan was. To Professor of Neuroscience and Behavioural Biologist of Atlanta, USA, Lori Marino, and the Orca Coalition, as told to Spain’s national newspaper, El Pais, all these things they say are arguments to try to justify the non-reintegration of Morgan into her natural habitat. Marino said, “The brain of whales has a size and complexity that is just below that of human beings. They are able to understand symbols and are aware of themselves and should not be in captivity. In the wild, they swim 60 km daily and when they are inside a tank, they stress, get depressed and start to have health problems. “ Earlier this year it was reported that Morgan was found to have hearing difficulties, which may cause a problem if the whale was released into the wild.

Free night at the cinema for Callao Salvaje residents
COSMOS, the Callao Salvaje Residents Association, is tonight (Friday) hosting what members hope will be the first of their regular monthly, open-air cinema shows. The free evening takes place at 8.30 in the grounds of the Atlantic Holiday Centre, where the American sciencefantasy film John Carter, featuring Canadian actor Taylor Kitsch, will be shown. Everyone is welcome (the film will be shown in Spanish), and kids will have to
sit on the ground, while some chairs will be provided at the back for parents and/or older viewers. This initiative by the Residents Association is intended to boost community spirit, give something to the locals, encourage people to come to the village centre, and, maybe afterwards, have a drink or a meal in one of the many fine local restaurants. There will be no sales pitch and no speeches - just the film - though people will be able to join the Residents Association if they wish. They will then be able to find out more about other events and activities planned for the near future.
Madrid funding for municipalities SPAIN will activate an 18-billion-euro liquidity fund by the weekend to help its stricken regions, such as the Canary Islands, to finance their debts, the government announced. A handful of Spain’s 17 regions have already asked for about 10 billion euros from the fund as they struggle to make spiralling interest payments on their debts. Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria said the fund would start operations by the end of September”. “The Budget Ministry is preparing the whole procedure so that on one hand it can dispose of the funds to give them and on the other set up the mechanism to make those interest payments,”
she told Cadena Ser radio. The new fund also would ensure that suppliers to the regional governments were paid, she said. Here in the Canaries, pharmacies have been waiting months
for the Island’s government to pay its share of the medicines given out to the public, putting many of them in precarious financial situations. The 18 billion euros would
be sufficient “according to our calculations,” the deputy premier added. To finance the fund, the Treasury raised three billion euros through a bond issue that was “almost entirely subscribed” to by Spanish banks and it plans a fivebillion-euro private sale of debt securities in midOctober. The rest of the financing will come from a six-billioneuro contribution by the national lottery and a direct injection of four billion euros by the Treasury. Many of Spain’s regions, responsible for half of all state expenditure, are smarting under central government deficit-cutting demands, which are forcing them into health and education cuts. The regional governments have promised to cut the deficit, the gap between income and spending, to 1.5 per cent of total economic output by the end of this year.

The Chelsea captain has been banned for four domestic matches and fined £220,000, pending appeal. He was found guilty at an FA hearing of directing abuse at Queen’s Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League match last October. The 31-year-old footballer, found not guilty by a criminal court of law in July, denied the charge. But the FA independent regulatory commission ruled that he was guilty of misconduct during Chelsea's defeat at QPR. The Chelsea defender’s representatives, Elite Management, said Terry was “disappointed” by the verdict, which was “a different conclusion to the clear ‘not guilty’ verdict of a court of law”. Terry will ask for detailed written reasons of the decision before deciding whether to lodge an appeal, the management company added.
David Davies, former FA executive director, told Sky News the verdict was “sad but not totally unexpected”. He said he thought Terry would appeal “because he is a fighter and he will think this is wrong”. Davies added: “John Terry has been a battler through his career. Whatever you think of this incident, the way it has dragged on for a year, the reality is that as a player, he has given his all to England and Chelsea over the years and that’s in his nature.” But he felt that Terry would not attract much sympathy. Before his FA hearing started this week, Terry announced his retirement from international football. The case centred on an incident during a Chelsea v QPR match last year when Terry and Ferdinand clashed
verbally on a number of occasions. Terry was found not guilty in Westminster Magistrates Court in July of a racially-aggravated public order offence, with the prosecution unable to prove the words he said to Ferdinand were being used as an insult. Terry admitted using the words, but insisted he had only been repeating words he thought Ferdinand had accused him of saying. Chelsea and England teammate Ashley Cole gave evidence that helped exonerate Terry, telling the court: ”We shouldn't be sitting here.” The FA’s decision to press ahead with their own charges infuriated Terry to the extent that on the eve of the disciplinary hearing, he announced he was quitting international football with immediate effect, saying his position was “untenable”. Terry’s legal team had argued the governing body’s own rules dictated that his acquittal in court meant the case could not proceed. But the FA believed their charge was distinct from the court charge. The panel who handed Liverpool striker Luis Suarez an eight-match ban when they
found him guilty of racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra last season declared then that simply using racist language was enough to constitute a breach of FA rules. Chelsea issued a statement that refused to condemn the FA's verdict, saying: “Chelsea Football Club notes and respects today’s decision by the Football Association regarding John Terry. “We also recognise that John has the right to appeal that decision. It is, therefore, inappropriate for us to comment further on the matter at this time.” Terry is likely to be available to play for Chelsea against Arsenal (tomorrow) Saturday as the ban does not start until after the appeals process has been concluded. The defender has 14 days from the receipt of the written reasons for the decision, and if he does appeal then that hearing may not take place until the end of next month. That could see the Chelsea captain still being available for the club’s other Premier League matches in October against Norwich, Tottenham and Manchester United.
Welsh couple found drowned A COUPLE found in the swollen River Clywedog, in North Wales, may have drowned after trying to rescue a pet dog. The body of a 27-yearold woman, named locally as Alicia Williams, was discovered on a sandbank
in a shallow part of the river near Erddig, Wrexham, on Wednesday by someone walking his dog. Then, yesterday morning (Thursday), a search team found the body of David Platt, 25, in the early hours.
Police said the two local people had been with their five dogs when the accident took place. The dogs have since been accounted for. Chief Inspector Mark Pierce told a press conference the deaths were not being
treated as suspicious. “The likely scenario is that it was a tragic accident,” he said. The River Clywedog was swollen following heavy rain, and a fire service spokeswoman described the river as “fast flowing” on Wednesday.

New pension reform OVER half a million new people saving in a pension by Christmas – DWP figures on automatic enrolment. Latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show more than half a million people will be saving in a workplace pension for the first time by Christmas, thanks to the biggest shake-up in UK pensions for over a hundred years – automatic enrolment. From October, starting with the largest employers, bosses will be required by law to pay into a workplace pension for all eligible staff who do not opt out. The DWP figures reveal that by the end of the year around 600,000 more people will be saving into a workplace pension. By May 2015, around 4.3 million more people will be saving for their retirement. Iain Duncan Smith, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, said: “This is a vital reform and I’m proud the Coalition has
made it a reality. Automatic enrolment will get up to 9 million more people saving into a workplace pension and for many it will be the first time they have had the opportunity to save. It will allow people to start planning for their retirement and this will make it easier for them to start putting something aside, along with a contribution from their employer.” Steve Webb, Minister for Pensions, said: “This October we can celebrate a major milestone - automatic enrolment is the biggest boost to pensions for over a century. By the time all employers are included, millions more people will be saving for their old age, with over half a million new savers in workplace pensions by Christmas. “Few policies affect as many people and this will be a truly radical social change. All the international evidence shows people respond positively to automatic enrolment, and I’m determined to make sure that pensions are no longer seen as the preserve of the few.”
28 September - 04 October 2012
11 million people in the UK are not saving enough for their retirement. Pension saving has fallen across all age groups, but it is steepest among those aged 22-29, falling from 43% in 1997 to 24% today. Both men and women are saving less,
although pension saving has fallen further for men – down from 59% to 44% and from 49% to 39% for women. Up to 11 million people are expected to be eligible for automatic enrolment, with 6 to 9 million newly saving or saving more in all forms of
workplace pension schemes. Under automatic enrolment, employers will eventually contribute 3% of earnings, individuals 4% of earnings, and there will also be 1% of tax relief to make up a total contribution of 8%. Employees are able to
opt out of the change, but they will not receive this extra contribution from their employer or the tax relief, or be contributing to a workplace pension. They will be re-enrolled every three years and be given the same option.

Please come home, dad begs missing teacher and schoolkid THE father of missing schoolteacher Jeremy Forrest has urged him to return home with 15-yearold pupil Megan Stammers. As police issued a European warrant for his arrest, Jim Forrest made an emotional plea during a press conference at Sussex Police headquarters. “Hi Megan, hi Jeremy,” he said. “I hope this message reaches you and you’re both okay. There are a lot of people back who home are desperate to hear from you. “All I’m asking is for one of you to send an email to let us know you’re both safe. Please, please get in contact.” Mr Forrest, from Petts Wood, south-east London,
appeared alongside his tearful wife, Julie, one week after the pair boarded a ferry to France. Sussex Police, who are leading the inquiry, still have no confirmed sightings of the pair, who are believed to have made their way to Spain. Chief Inspector Jason Tingley, in charge of the enquiry, told reporters: “We are working closely with an inquiry team in Paris. “Efforts abroad have been specifically focused on information-gathering. We are in a position to act swiftly to any information concerning their whereabouts.” The 30-year-old maths teacher, who was married just a year ago, ran off with 15-year-old Megan, from Orpington, Kent, who was his pupil and said to be infatuated with him.
Australian hoodie held by police after Irish girl vanishes in early hours AUSTRALIAN police searching for Irish woman Gillian Meagher, who disappeared last Saturday, have arrested a 41-year-old man in a Melbourne suburb. He was last night (Thursday) assisting officers with their inquiries at a police station in the city. No charges had been made as we went to press last night. Detectives were keen to talk to a man in a bluehooded jumper, seen on CCTV images with Ms Meagher moments before she vanished in the early hours of the morning. Local media reports suggest the arrested person is the one pictured, but this has not been confirmed. Detectives are concerned that 29-year-old Ms Meagher, who moved from Ireland to the city three years ago, was abducted while walking home alone from a bar. She is employed by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and had been drinking with colleagues.
Page 14
Members of the public were also seen on the CCTV footage and one of those filmed has come forward. “I told the police he was just a nondescript-looking guy,” said Dan Gregson. “There was nothing strange about him or I would have noticed.” Ms Meagher left the bar at around 1.30am saying she would walk the short distance to her flat on her own. But police say she never completed the journey to the apartment she shares with her husband, Thomas, who is not under suspicion. In the CCTV footage, the hooded man walks back and forth, speaks briefly to Ms Meagher for about 30 seconds, and then walks on ahead of her. She then speaks to her brother on her mobile for two minutes, walks out of view of the camera and has not been seen since. Police would not confirm that additional CCTV footage shows the same unknown man running towards Ms Meagher, or a witness report that a car had performed a U-turn towards her.
Holidays Just Got Better THOMSON has unveiled its new Holidays Just Got Better advertising campaign, which aims to highlight how holidays have changed over the last 50 years and how Thomson excels at offering modern, unique and expertly designed holiday experiences for our customers. The advert features the new Dreamliner, reinforcing the message that Thomson is set to be the first UK airline to operate the state of the art aircraft from May next year. Following on from the success of last year’s Quality Time campaign launched in the autumn. The advert takes an affectionate look back through holidays over the last 50 years using nostalgic videos and snaps from the
1960s through to the modern day. These retro images of the traditional package holiday are projected onto the surface of the new Dreamliner, creating a striking contrast of the past against the future. The emotive advert recalls what fun we used to have on these types of holidays, but how times have changed and Thomson has kept up by adapting their holiday offering to appeal to the modern, sophisticated holidaymaker. Thomson has once again broken away from the travel industry’s traditional post-Christmas marketing campaign, choosing to launch its advertising ahead of its competitors in the autumn. The new £5.5m campaign has been created by Beattie McGuinness Bungay and is set to run until December. Airing during primetime slots for the next six weeks, the new Thomson advert marks the launch of Thomson’s most integrated marketing campaign ever.
The ad will be supported by an ambitious shop window project as well as outdoor, print and online advertising, video on demand, email marketing as well as social media and PR. A campaign hub holidaysjustgotbetter. co.uk has also been launched to engage customers in Thomson’s new campaign. The fully interactive site will include Thomson’s new advert, a behind the scenes video of the making of the ad as well as infographics and games. Jeremy Ellis, Marketing Director at Thomson said: “Our new Holidays Just Got Better campaign aims to differentiate the Thomson brand from other tour operators. As the first UK customer to take delivery of the new Dreamliner, we knew the new aircraft should take primary focus in our new campaign. There was also no better way to demonstrate how Thomson is modernising the holiday experience, as the aircraft is set to innovate our holidays and change the way
we travel. We are incredibly excited about this campaign as it will be our most integrated yet, using so many different channels including outdoor advertising, for the first time in a number of years. We are also thrilled to be involving our shops, through the photomosaic banners, which we hope will create a real buzz on the high street.” Trevor Beattie, founding partner of Beattie McGuinness Bungay says; “It’s not every day you take delivery of the future of aviation. The Dreamliner is like no other plane and it’s at the heart of Thomson’s beautiful revolution. Holidays and flying to them, will never be the same again. “ To tie into the campaign, Thomson retail stores will feature new ‘photomosaic’ banners in the shop windows. Appearing from Monday 24 September, the banners are made up of 780 individual photos, showing images of hundreds of different holidays, from Thomson’s picture library.
PPI complaints double WHICH? is calling on the banks to ensure they set aside more funding to pay back customers who were mis-sold Payment Protection Insurance (PPI), as complaints continue to rocket and the £10 billion set aside by the banks could run out within months. The number of new PPI claims more than doubled to 2.2 million in the first half of 2012, a 129% increase on the previous six months, according to new complaints data from the
Financial Services Authority (FSA) published today. New Which? analysis suggests that if PPI payouts continue at the same pace as the first half of this year, Lloyds could run out of provisions by November 2012, Barclays by December 2012, RBS within the next six months, and HSBC by August next year. As the full extent of the PPI scandal continues to unfold, Which? is calling on the banks to ensure they set aside sufficient funds to make sure customers who were mis-sold PPI are properly compensated and ensure they are making it as easy as possible for customers to claim back the money they are owed.
Which? also wants to see the banks publish monthly updates so there is full transparency about the amounts that have been paid back. Banks should also claw back bonuses from senior executives who presided over the misselling scandal to help fund the new provisions. Which? chief executive officer Peter Vicary-Smith said: “With well over two million PPI complaints being made in just six months, PPI is now the biggest financial scandal of all time. The banks must set aside more money for PPI claims and make it easier for customers to get back what they are rightly owed, without any hassle. “Consumers are continu-
ally being short-changed by the banks. We’re campaigning for Big Change in the culture of banking to put customers first, not bankers and protect the public suffering from further misselling and scandals.” Which? has launched a major new campaign ‘Big Change’ to put consumers’ best interests at the heart of banking reforms. The public can support the campaign by signing the ‘Big Change’ pledge here. ‘Big Change’ is calling for: Bankers to put customers first, not sales. Bankers to meet professional standards and comply with a code of conduct. Bankers to be punished for mis-selling and bad practice.

This could wipe the smile off the face of Mona Lisa MONA LISA, the world’s most famous painting, may not have been the original version according to experts.
The one which has always been acknowledged as Mona Lisa is known as La Giaconda, or La Joconde, in Italy and France. Da Vinci had been
The Swiss-based Mona Lisa Foundation believes that Leonardo da Vinci actually painted an earlier vision of the iconic masterpiece. And that is why the group is to display what it believes is the real deal at an unveiling ceremony in Geneva. Foundation officials organising the event say that detailed research over three decades indicates strongly that it is, indeed, an earlier portrayal of Mona Lisa by the Italian maestro. Art historian Stanley Feldman, from the Foundation, said: “We have investigated this painting from every relevant angle, and the accumulated information all points to it being an earlier version of the Giaconda in the Louvre.”

commissioned to produce a portrait of Lisa Gherardini by her husband, Francesco del Giacondo, who was an early 16th century Italian nobleman. But the artist
never delivered it to him. The work being presented to experts and media in Geneva shows a woman apparently in her early 20s in the same pose and with an enigmatic
stare similar to that of the Louvre masterpiece - which depicted a woman in her early 30s. Irish-born Mr Feldman and his brother David, long involved in the art world, said historical evidence, critical comparison and scientific examination using the most modern techniques supported their view on what it really is. Leading Italian Da Vinci specialist Alessandro Vezzosi, another foundation member, and US-based expert Carlo Pedretti, are cautiously backing the “two versions” thesis. If proven, it would undoubtedly create a major sensation in the art world. But there is strong scepticism from other experts on the artist, sculptor, architect and designer, who bestrode the European cultural world from the late 15th century until his 1519 death in a small French chateau on the Loire at the age of 67.
In a 300-page, illustrated volume being issued by the Foundation, Mr Vezzosi, director of the Da Vinci museum in the artist’s hometown Vinci, in central Italy, calls on the critics to keep an open mind. He writes that the book “will permit an unbiased judgement of the claim of this painting to be the earlier portrait, incomplete, of a young Mona Lisa - much younger than that of the Louvre”. But Oxford University professor Martin Kemp, a world-recognised authority on Da Vinci, argues that the Geneva portrait is probably a copy of the Paris version by an unknown painter, who simply chose to make the subject younger. “So much is wrong,” he stressed, pointing to the fact - among others that the foundation’s portrait is painted on canvas and not on wood, which was the artist’s preferred medium.

EastEnders leaves rivals in the shade EASTENDERS have trumped Coronation Street by collecting Best Soap title and six others at the Inside Soap Awards, held in London on Tuesday. The BBC1 show’s haul at the soap magazine’s big night saw the Best Actress award picked up by Gillian Wright, who plays Jean Slater. It was poignant moment because, earlier this year, following complaints from viewers, programme bosses were forced to defend a storyline which had Jean, who has bipolar disorder, being treated badly. Actress Hetti Bywater won Best Newcomer for her portrayal of Albert Square’s Lucy Beale. Comedy actors Tameka Empson and Ricky Norwood, who play Kim Fox and Arthur “Fat Boy” Chubb, were voted Funniest Female and Funniest Male. Charlie Brooks, the scheming Janine Butcher, who is on sabbatical from Eastenders, won the Best
Bitch crown, while David Witts, who joined the show this year as Derek Branning’s estranged son Joey, was named Sexiest Male. But other soaps did get a look-in. Hollyoaks’ Irish star Emmett Scanlan celebrated a double success by winning Best Actor and Best Bad Boy for his performance as the villain Brendan Brady. As usual, Coronation Street favourite Michelle Keegan was named Sexiest Female. It was her fourth successive win, and she was also named Best-Dressed Soap Star. Fellow Coronation Street star Alex Bain, who plays Simon Barlow and is a little treasure with the viewers, won Best Young Actor award. Australian soap Neighbours received two awards: Best Daytime Soap and Best Daytime Star for Ryan Moloney, who plays stalwart Toadie Rebecci. Waterloo Road, BBC’s popular series, picked up its third award for Best Drama. Inside Soap editor Steven Murphy said: “It’s been an exciting year in the world of soap and we can’t wait to see what the next 12 months have in store.”
ANDY WILLIAMS, the handsome American singer who defined easy listening for more than six decades, lost his long battle with bladder cancer on Tuesday. The 84-year-old, who was the epitome of wholesome, captured the hearts of millions throughout the world during his long career. He shot to fame in the US with Moon River, the beautiful ballad sung by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. But Williams made the song
indisputably his own when he sang it at the 1962 Academy Awards ceremony. It was covered in Britain by South African singer Danny Williams, who had a UK Christmas No1 with it in 1961. But Andy, who never released it as a single, was already off and running. Moon River became the theme song for his variety TV series The Andy Williams Show which, along with his family-oriented Christmas TV specials, made him a household name on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite his somewhat “square” image as the Beatlesled rock revolution took over in the Sixties, his TV guests included rising stars like
Elton John and the Mamas and the Papas. And his music remained popular through the ages, with his speciality film themes, including those from Love Story, Charade, The Way We Were and Days of Wine and Roses, keeping him in the public eye. Many years after he had stopped recording regularly, his old hits continued to turn up on film soundtracks, such as The Most Wonderful Time of the Year in Bad Santa, and his version of Can’t Take My Eyes Off You in Bridget Jones’s Diary. It is still as popular today as it ever was, and, along with Can’t Get Used to Losing You, is probably his best-known
UK hit. Throughout his glittering career, he earned 18 gold and three platinum albums and was nominated for Grammy Awards five times, but he never had a gold single. His version of Moon River was an LP track, and his biggest hit single and the only No1, was his 1957 number Butterfly. During his 2007 UK tour, he attributed his longevity to the joy of performing. He told a reporter: “Perhaps that two hours onstage is the medicine everybody should have.” It certainly worked for one of the most popular crooner of all!
There’s mixed reaction to Rowling’s novel for adults THE first “adult” novel by Harry Potter author JK Rowling is now is now in bookshops - and it is already smashing 2012 sales records. It couldn’t have a better launch, however, because pre-sales of The Casual Vacancy were the highest of any book this year, but little was known about the content, which has been kept
Page 16
a close secret leading up to its release. Reviewers can’t seem to make up their minds, with some saying Rowling has retained her magic, while another has labelled the novel “dull”. Whatever the feeling, it is a huge departure from her Harry Potter series, although, on her reputation alone, many Rowling fans arrived at their local bookshops early to buy a copy. Speed reader Anne Jones skimmed the novel for Sky
News in a London bookshop and was pleasantly surprised by the plot. And she felt the “second half was better than the first”. The novel is about a “snobby middle-class” community riven by provincial politics - and what happens when a parish councillor dies in a West Country village. The village is, supposedly, based on Tutshill, where Rowling was brought up as a child. But residents have made it clear that they are not
happy with her description, which is alien to their experiences there. One resident, Carla Newton, said people were keen to find out more, and added: “I’ll definitely be reading it in case I can recognise someone.” Rowling has amassed around £620m from her seven Harry Potter books and all the spin-off rights. She will certainly cash in on this diversion, but she intends to write another children’s book for her next offering.

Cocaine mastermind is given 28-year sentence A 61-YEAR-OLD Blackpool man, behind a plot to smuggle 1.5 tonnes of cocaine into the UK, has been jailed for 28 years.
Crew members Philip Doo and David Mufford, from Devon, and Christopher Wiggins, who had been living on the Costa del Sol, were arrested when the raid took place.
They pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine with intent to supply, and were each jailed for 10 years at Cork Circuit Criminal Court in May 2009. Matt Horne, SOCA Regional
Head of Investigations, said: “Working with international partners to stop consignments of drugs before they can even reach our shores is a priority for SOCA. “It is just one of the ways we
undermine the cocaine trade and put the UK illegal drugs market under stress.” He added: “Brooks was the go-to man for organised crime groups as he was an expert in arranging the transportation of huge
quantities of drugs. “His criminal career stretches back nearly 30 years, during which time he has travelled extensively using false identities and has been imprisoned on a number of occasions.”
John Brooks, 61, who had been living in Marbella and was said to be a career criminal, assembled a crew to import the cocaine by boat. A multi-agency operation, led by the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), led to the boat Dances With Waves being intercepted by Irish authorities, off the south-west coast of Ireland in November 2008. It had set sail from Trinidad in the Caribbean and was heading for Liverpool. Brooks, who was arrested last November during a visit to his Blackpool family, was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on Monday after being found guilty of conspiracy to import cocaine.

MARIANO E ZUNINO SIRI Understanding the Law
Email: marianozunino@canarianweekly.com
An awkward mortgage problem I HAVE received a private email which I consider very interesting. I will reproduce parts of it and hide the identity of the reader (the figures have also been changed slightly). Dear Mariano, I saw your recent article in the Canarian Weekly, and I hope you may be able help me. I live in the UK and have a Spanish bank mortgage on my apartment in Tenerife with an outstanding value of 222,000 euros. But I can no longer meet the 1,100-euro monthly payments, and I also have insurance fees and maintenance costs to pay. The apartment was purchased for 259,000 euros, and I shared the costs with my ex-wife. Unfortunately the mortgage is in my name only and she is no longer paying her share (I am aware that this will not matter to the bank). I managed to cover the costs for a few years, but
with me no longer able to put the apartment up for rental because of Tenerife’s law enforcement, it makes matters even worse. In the current market and with the inability to put the apartment up for rental, I do not believe that selling is possible without further, huge losses. Regards, C I have dealt with several cases with banks similar to yours. I note that you understand your situation (ie: the bank does not matter whether your ex-wife pays the loan or not). You say the mortgage is registered in your name only. I assume that the property is registered in joint names (you are owner of 50% and your ex another 50%) and that you are aware that if you do not pay the loan instalments, the bank will foreclose. In addition, if the bank sells the property for an amount lower than the debt, you will
28 September - 04 October 2012
be personal responsible for the difference. I do not have all the information because I do not know whether you have a divorce judgment and if so, has this judgement divided the assets of the couple - are you now entitled to 100% of the property? You say you cannot rent your apartment, but this is wrong because you can let it out. The problem you may face is to do it as a tourism-activity rental (you can rent it by signing contracts subject to the Letting Agreement Law and Civil Code Law). Other options are the Dacion en Pago, to be accepted by the bank. This way, you pay off the mortgage, handing over the keys to the bank (signing the corresponding Title Deed at the Notary), and you are not personally responsible with your assets later on. Although I need more information I offer my advice to readers in a private way. In
my columns I give a general glimpse, which is not necessarily applicable to all cases. Every case is unique and must be studied properly. What draws my attention is that the reader says he cannot rent his apartment because of “Tenerife law enforcement�. We have heard many things in connection with the Tourism Law, and I have written several columns referred to this topic. I would like to clarify that you
are free to rent your property, signing contracts subject to the Letting Agreement Law and Civil Code Law (private Law). If you are renting out as a tourism activity (subject to the Administrative Law, consequently Public Law) you need to fulfil the requirements of the Tourism Law. A private law matter (long-term or short-term letting agreement) is regulated by the Rental Agreements Law or Civil Code.
The public law matter (authorisation to operate in tourism activity, including tourist rental agreements) is regulated by the Autonomic Law (approved in the Canary Parliament). I have written several columns regarding this matter (Tourism Law, Letting Agreement Law) and nowadays, this is a hot matter which I would be glad to discuss in Canarian Weekly. Your questions or comments are welcomed.
Obtaining an NIE number now THE NIE number identifies a foreign citizen before Spanish authorities. This number became very important as it was necessary to produce it at the time of signing any public document and payment of taxes (it is valid as a Tax Number). It used to be possible to apply for NIE through a representative with Power of Attorney. This way, someone living abroad could send a Power of Attorney to his Spanish representative, who would attend the Police Station in order to obtain the number. Last December, the rules changed and foreign citizens who wanted an NIE number had to attend personally either the Police Station or the Spanish consulate of his/her residence abroad. That meant it was no longer possible to apply for the NIE via a representative. But it looks as though this rule collapsed (many complaints have been received) and the Government is reverting to the old rule. So now it is possible to apply for your NIE number through a representative (Order of General Direction of Police 3/2012).

Servants - The True Story Of Life Below Stairs BBC 2, 21.00 A century ago, 1.5 million British people worked as servants – astonishingly, more than worked in factories or farms. But while servants are often portrayed as characters in period dramas, the real stories of Britain’s servants have largely been forgotten. Presented by social historian Dr Pamela Cox - herself the great-granddaughter of servants - this three-part series uncovers the reality of servants’ lives from the Victorian era through to the Second World War. In the first episode, Dr Cox begins in the grand houses of the Victorian ruling elite – large country estates dependant on an army of staff toiling away below stairs. The Victorians ushered in a new ideal of servitude - where loyal, selfless servants were depersonalized stereotypes with standardised uniforms, hairstyles and even generic names denoting position. In the immaculately preserved rooms of Erdigg in North Wales, portraits of servants like loyal housekeeper Mrs Webster hint at an affectionate relationship between family and servants, but the reality for most was quite different. In other stately homes, hidden passages kept servants separate from the family - anonymity, invisibility and segregation were a crucial part of their gruelling job - and the strict servant hierarchy even kept them segregated from each other. But it wasn’t just the aristocracy who had servants. The emerging middle classes were also hiring, and thousands – like manservant William Tayler - flocked from the countryside to take up positions in the cities’ townhouses. With no experience of keeping servants, however, how would these anxious new mistresses fair as managers – especially in the wake of a servant scandal? With a plethora of jobs available, the power was not always with the mistress, but also with the maids who were free to leave - and leave they did.
Joe Crowley presents the series revealing the potential that vacant properties can offer potential buyers. Joe meets Amy Linley, who has taken her first step onto the property ladder and become the proud owner of an empty three-bedroom terraced house in West Yorkshire that needs a total overhaul. She is full of enthusiasm but is new to the renovation game so is keen to hear all the hints and tips she can. She wants to preserve as much of the house's original charm as she can, so Joe and Amy visit a couple who took on a dilapidated Edwardian property and have cleverly reinstated many of the period features. There is also a look at the increasing issue of metal theft in the UK and the toll it is taking on vulnerable empty properties.

Baggage Channel 4, 20:00 Gok Wan hosts this brand-new dating game show with a difference, in which contestants must select and reject potential partners on the basis of their 'baggage'. Daters must choose from three contestants who gradually reveal the hidden secrets and crazy flaws that they'd normally keep firmly under wraps on a first date. In the second show, Sarah has her pick of three sexy suitors, Jevan, Ian and Adam - one cries all the time and another learnt his dating technique from a book. Whoever she picks, will they be able to work out what's inside her big red bag? When it's Ed's turn to pick from three lovely blondes, he's faced with the revelations that one will only see him once a week, another can't ride a bike and a third will always put football before him.

W C CHOICE The Clintons BBC2, 22:15
Documentary series exploring the sordid scandal and grand achievement of one of the most successful politicians in modern American history. In this final programme, Clinton pulls off one of the greatest turnarounds in political history with his landslide re-election in 1996. Times are good as the economy booms and American prestige and power abroad surges to an all-time high. The president's dream of repairing the breach with Republicans seems within reach, but his plan implodes when his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky becomes public knowledge. The ensuing scandal gives Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr the ammunition he needs to recharge his stalled investigation of the Whitewater affair, and Hillary her highest approval rating yet.
Match of the Day BBC1, 22:10 Gabby Logan presents highlights from all of the day's Premier League games, which include a lunchtime London derby between Arsenal and Chelsea. Although last season's game at the Emirates ended 0-0, the reverse fixture between the sides earlier in the campaign saw Arsenal winning 5-3. The day's early evening match sees Manchester United take on a Tottenham side who have not started brightly under new manager Andre Villas Boas. They have not won at Old Trafford since 1989, and will have to shackle the prolific van Persie, so often their nemesis during his days at Arsenal.

An Elephant's Tale. Maya is a newborn elephant calf, just hours old; she is the newest arrival in Samburu National Reserve in Kenya. It is the rainy season, food is plentiful and there is something of an elephant baby boom! But Maya and her first-time mum Zadie face many challenges: Firstly, Zadie needs to reunite with her herd so she can learn how to look after her newborn baby; then they must avoid hungry lions and the guns of poachers. But probably the biggest danger they face is the flooded river that flows through the reserve; at some point Maya will have to cross it, and hungry crocodiles will be waiting. If she is to get through her first month, Maya will need the support of her whole extended family.

Monty Halls explores Australia's Great Barrier Reef, one of the natural wonders of the world and the largest living structure on our planet. As a whole, it covers an area larger than Britain but, amazingly, only seven percent of it is coral reef. The rest is a variety of interconnected habitats including the world's oldest jungle, hundreds of islands, mangrove swamps, mysterious deep water gardens, vast sand flats and meadows of sea grass. A giant deep-water lagoon connects all of these, and many of the creatures that live in it are almost impossibly weird from giant hammerhead sharks to the bizarre 'pearl fish' that lives its life up a sea cucumber's bottom. The connections between all these environments mean that, not only do they depend on each other, but without them the coral reef itself would not survive.

The Dragons' competitive natures are put to the test when the Den is turned into a game show set, as a former chat-show host seeks investment for her television quiz idea. A 22-year-old student from Bolton surprises the dragons with his unbridled enthusiasm for the UK's car parking industry, and a father and son from Yorkshire cause consternation among the multimillionaire investors with their firm, no-nonsense negotiating style. Also pitching for investment in the Den are a samba band, flowering tea and a man washing his hair with the help of a fully working shower.

06:00 ...........................Breakfast 09:15 .........Helicopter Heroes
Addicted to Tina MICHAELA BRIDGES arrived here a dozen years ago and, for the first six months, worked as a hotel entertainer before going on the circuit with her extremely popular Tina Turner show. Although she’s perfected the famous Tina walk, the dodgy wig has some people believing she’s a female Rod Stewart (her words). And when compèring, Michaela likes the audience to challenge her with different eras and styles of music, although she admits to being a rock chick at heart and still loves belting out Journey and Bon Jovi. The poor guys! Get a belt of Michaela here. Mondays: 9.30pm - Volare, Golf del Sur Wednesdays: 11pm Coconut Joe’s, Parque de la Paz Thursdays: 9.30pm - Volare, Golf del Sur Fridays: 11pm - Johnny Kelly’s Elvis Bar, Torviscas Saturdays: fortnightly, 9.45pm - Bahia Beach, Puerto Colon
If I Can Dream BRICKLAYING, explains Wayne Robinson, (aka Elvis Parsley), is a well-paid job but tends to make one Moody Blue during the harsh British winter. Which is why he and wife Karen moved to the Promised Land five years ago - and during the day, they now run

the Mare Verde pool bar. Wayne’s tribute to the King came about by accident in a karaoke bar, when Karen asked him to sing the track Don’t. He did. Five years on, and with guidance from Presley supremo Johnny Kelly, Wayne admits to a Burning Love for the music of Elvis. He would also like to thank Dennis and Jackie at the Theatre bar, Torviscas, where he treads their boards from 9pm Thursdays and Saturdays. Viva Torviscas!
Spinning around SAMANTHA ADAMS, singing since the age of 12, started off by entertaining at nursing and children’s homes. For the last nine years in the UK she performed in restaurants, clubs, conferences, weddings and parties. Samantha has won many talent competitions, including one at the BBC, for which her prize was a trip to New York, no less. In 2002, an appearance on ITV’s Stars In Their Eyes as Kylie Minogue led to her signing with Butlins. As part of their own Stars In Their Eyes show, she toured the company’s UK holiday camp circuit. Samantha also writes her own material, and she released a song in 2005 called All I Needed To Say, along with a music video which appeared on Sky. The dance version of the track reached No9 in the dance charts! She continues to write songs and has recently released another dance track.
Samantha says the idea is to meet new friends, gain experiences in life and enjoy Tenerife’s weather. That’s why we’re here, Sam! Her gigs are: Wednesdays: 10pm - Kandi Lounge, Puerto Colon Thursdays: 10pm - Theatre Bar, San Eugenio Sundays: 11pm - Java Bar, Los Cristianos Inclusively yours “IT’S not so busy any more in Las Americas, Los Cristianos and Torviscas,” you say. Well, although it’s true, more than 60% of hotels reported an increase in occupancy levels last year compared with the same period the previous year. “Great,” you reply, “so where are all the punters?” Well, they’re here all right, but spread out extra thin, like jam on a miser’s crumpet, with an increasing number staying at all-inclusive hotels in areas such as Fañabe. These are certainly splendid places and sit gleaming in their newness, but the nightly diversions at a number of them seem designed to send guests out in droves, kicking and screaming in search of real entertainment. Maybe it’s a ploy to cut costs. Admittedly, the sooner people vacate the hotel after their meal, the quicker the free local booze is locked away. So let’s hear it for the free snake, parrot and fashion shows. Keep it going, guys!

Masters of Money BBC2, 21:00 In the last of this series produced in partnership with The Open University, BBC Economics Editor Stephanie Flanders examines one of the most revolutionary and controversial thinkers of all. Karl Marx argued that capitalism is inherently unfair and therefore doomed to collapse, so should be got rid of altogether. His ideas left an indelible stamp on the lives of billions of people and the world we live in today. As the global financial crisis continues on its destructive path and the gap between rich and poor continues to cause tension, his ideas are once again being taken seriously at the heart of global business. Stephanie travels from Marx's birthplace to a former communist regime detention centre in Berlin and separates his economic analysis from what was carried out in his name. She asks what answers does Marx provide to the mess we are all in today.
Speed Channel 5, 21:00 Fast-paced action adventure following a Los Angeles SWAT-team cop's attempts to foil the plans of a deranged bomber. The cop cheats his quarry out of one ransom, but, in response, the psycho contacts him with a warning about a bomb on a bus which will explode if the speed drops below 50mph. With the help of a female passenger, the cop attempts to navigate the bus around the crowded streets of LA while keeping its speed constant.

Cherry Healey explores the topical issue of breastfeeding. The World Health Organisation advises that all mothers breastfeed their children for at least the first six months, but Cherry found the experience painful and traumatic, and eventually gave up. Over a year later, she is still plagued by feelings of guilt for not trying harder and is on a mission to find out how other mums feel. She meets Jess, a teen mum who never even considered breastfeeding and has formula-fed all the way with no worries at all, and a group of 'lactivists' who believe that breastfeeding is the only option for a new mum.

20:00 ................ Conspiracy Road Trip It has been seven years since the London bombings of 7/7, one of the worst terrorist atrocities in recent British history. However, some people question the official version of events and think the British establishment orchestrated its own 9/11-style attacks in order to firm up support for the war in Iraq. Comedian Andrew Maxwell thinks this is nonsense and, in an effort to tackle the truth, is taking four such conspiracybelievers on a road trip from Leeds to London to recreate the exact journey the bombers took.

W C CHOICE How We Won the War BBC2, 18:30
Jules Hudson travels the length and breadth of the United Kingdom to seek out the World War II stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Jules visits London to meet a volunteer who found himself battling the horror of the Blitz as a teenage fire fighter; hears harrowing stories of children who escaped Nazi occupied Europe; and two courageous women describe how they helped defend the capital's skies from the Luftwaffe.
Ian Hislop's Stiff Upper Lip - An Emotional History of Britain BBC2, 21:00 Ian Hislop asks when and why we British have bottled up or let out our feelings and how this has affected our history. Revealing as much about ourselves today as about our past, this is a narrative history of emotion and identity over the last 300 years. Far from being part of our cultural DNA, emotional restraint was a relatively recent national trait. Foreigners in Tudor England couldn't believe how touchy-feely we could be. Ian Hislop charts how and why the stiff upper lip emerged in the late 18th and early 19th century.

In a film that ranges from political intrigue to impotence, Celia traces her family back to the 17th century.

Welcome to India BBC2, 21:00 Learning how to survive on an increasingly crowded planet is probably our ultimate challenge. But there is one place, home to over a sixth of the world's population, which is already making a good shot at adapting: welcome to India.

With astonishing access into the densest districts of Kolkata and Mumbai, it celebrates the impressive resourcefulness, resilience and absolute pragmatism of those living and working there, and reveals the psyche needed to get ahead in the biggest of crowds.

W C CHOICE Wartime Farm: With Peter Ginn 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 tackles the conditions of 1942, when British farmers and the nation as a whole suffered from the massive shortages of vital materials such as wood, fuel and food due to the threat of Hitler's U-Boats to imports. Ruth and her daughter Eve travel to the New Forest to discover the story of the Women's Timber Corps, known affectionately as the 'Lumber Jills'. Meanwhile Peter and Alex face up to the wartime petrol crisis and investigate how coal was so vital, men were actually conscripted into the mining workforce rather than the armed forces. Also featuring a look at the Emergency Feeding Centres, what Churchill dubbed 'British Restaurants'. These emergency food outlets made a lasting change to the nation's eating habits.
The Corrie Years ITV1, 20:30 Ever since Coronation Street began, special effects and shocking stunts have provided a spectacular backdrop to some gripping storylines. In the penultimate episode of the series, we take a look behind the scenes at those explosive moments - from Maya's mad Monday to the tram crash disaster that marked the show's 50th anniversary.

The joy of haggling Money Saving expert.com have a brilliant article this week revealing the top ten high street stores where you can haggle. If you’ve never logged on to the site it’s definitely worth it www.moneysaving expert.com, it applies to the UK, but it’s very informative. They say that haggling is not reserved to old fashioned markets and that it’s alive on the high street. The top 10 high street stores to haggle in Retail chain Success 1. Comet 78% 2. B&Q 78% 3. Currys/ PC World 78% 4. Homebase 69%
5. John Lewis 63% 6. Asda 60% 7. Tesco 58% 8. Wickes 56% 9. Sainsbury’s 54% 10. Debenhams 53% Things to bear in mind when you’re trying to get a deal, if it’s already discounted, even just on sale, the door is open to reductions. So why not ask? Timing is key - Pick your time. If the store’s busy, you’re less likely to succeed. Junior staff have no discretion; senior, no time. Supervisor level is best to go for. Spot flaws in products to massively boost haggle power. See if they’ll give a discount if you get a warranty - you’ve a cooling off period in which to cancel it. Remember you get nothing unless you ask, the worst they can say is no!

faster than 3G. But it doesn’t come cheap because the 32GB model costs £599 and the 64GB version is £100 more. But the launch was followed by dissatisfaction over the phone’s maps, with reports of geographical errors and missing information. Downloaders said the app had towns and cities in the wrong place, shrinking them or, in some cases, omitting them altogether. The battle for domination of the mobile and tablet market has become increasingly heated, with Apple’s competitors producing a series of new products. Nokia and Microsoft recently joined forces to launch two phones, which will run on the Windows operating system. Online retailer Amazon also unveiled new models of its Kindle Fire tablets, which were previously not for sale in the UK and are seen as rivals to Apple’s iPad. For now, though, Apple reigns supreme.
IT took Apple just three days to sell more than five million iPhone 5s since its launch, despite complaints about the software. Apple fans flocked to shops last Friday to get hold of the company’s latest phone, and Chief Executive Tim Cook said: “Demand has been incredible. “While we have sold out of our initial supply, stores continue to receive iPhone 5 shipments regularly, and we appreciate everyone’s patience.” In London. More than 1,300 people queued outside Apple’s flagship store in Regent Street, while some camped at the company’s Covent Garden shop for up to a week to ensure being first through the door The new phone is thinner and lighter than previous models and can use the new 4G network, which offers speeds up to five times

AN anticipated one million people will join in a synchronised toilet flush to try to unblock sewers in Zimbabwe on Monday. Authorities in Bulawayo are appealing to residents to flush their toilets at 7.30pm to clear built-up waste. Water is rationed in the country’s second-largest city for up to 72 hours each week, which has led to the sewer
network getting bunged up. City mayor Thaba Moyo says it will become a weekly event, adding: “We are going to have a big flush every Monday to push all the waste that would have accumulated during the water rationing. “It means all the residents must flush their toilet at the stipulated time to prevent any sewer blockages. That’s

because as we anticipate longer periods without water in the system.” He stressed that residents should bear with the authorities, saying: “This is nobody’s fault - it’s a national problem. Most cities are having water shortages, and we hope the supplies will last until the rainy season, and then pray that we have good rains.”

DAVID HUDGELL
Getting to the root of your gardening problems! Email: David.hudgell@canarianweekly.com NATIONAL Conifer Week begins this weekend. The British Conifer Group (BCG), supported by the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA), is encouraging the nation’s gardeners to celebrate this versatile and often colourful and overlooked plant. As part of the HTA’s Plan it, Plant it this Autumn campaign, National Conifer Week, which is held between 29 September 2012 and 7 October 2012, aims to change perceptions of conifers and give them the recognition they deserve. Conifers are coming back into fashion and are currently making a comeback in the urban garden, with nearly a third of garden owners having a conifer in their garden according to an Ipsos Mori poll commissioned by the HTA. New varieties onto the market include Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘Pearly Swirls’, Juniperus squamata ‘Hulsdonk Yellow’ and Juniperus squamata ‘Tropical Blue’. These all offer vibrant colour to a garden in blues, greens, golds, greys and bronzes to brighten up those autumn and winter months. There are a diverse range of conifer shades, textures, shapes and sizes. When planted they can create height and add exciting form to any garden. From a small balcony with room for a container, to acres of grounds with space, conifers can add something truly special to any garden, patio or driveway. Also being hardy, low maintenance and easy to care for, conifers are the ideal choice for the novice gardener.
Penstemons are
Conifers making a comeback
Derek Spicer of Kilworth Conifers has recommended the best five conifers for a small garden. He said: “It was difficult to choose from so many different ones but my top five conifers would be: • Taxus baccata ‘Standishii’, • Chamaecyparis obtusa ‘Nana Gracilis’ • Picea glauca ‘J.W. Daisy’s White’
Interflora online charity flower shop Price: various Donation: 20% from every bouquet purchased in October. Interflora is increasing its donation to Breast Cancer Care from 15% to 20% during October. Available from flowers.
• Picea pungens ‘Globosa’ • Chamaecyparis lawsoniana ‘Minima Aurea’. The RHS has recently published a giant, twovolume Encyclopedia of Conifers, co-authored by Derek Spicer, which covers all of the world’s 615 conifer species plus 8,000 cultivars. An ideal book for the conifer collector, the encyclopedia
Special edition Twinpack Cherry ChapStick Price: £2.49 Donation: 20p Available from supermarkets and pharmacies nationwide
features over 5,000 fantastic photos and provides an essential reference tool. During National Conifer Week, many garden centres will be highlighting conifers under the Plan it, Plant it this Autumn strapline with eye-catching displays, demonstrating the versatility, variety and longevity of British conifers.
The Victorian garden and its plants are enjoying somewhat of a revival. Penstemons were a firm favourite in the early 1900s but now seem to have fallen out of favour. They’re ideal bedding plants or you could pot up a tub. They enjoy sunny positions, good drainage, a little water and once established are drought tolerant. These Victorian classics will flower right through from May to Autumn if you dead head regularly. Border penstemons are easy to grow in any fertile, reasonably moist, freedraining soil in full sun or light shade. Enrich the soil with about a bucketful of well-rotted organic matter and 70g per sq m (2oz per sq yd) of balanced general-purpose fertiliser to aid good establishment. Alpine and shrubby penstemons need relatively infertile soils, so no improvement is needed. Allow 45cm (18in) between plants. Watering of wellestablished plants in medium to heavy soils should be seldom needed, but plants growing in light, free-draining soils might need watering every two weeks in dry spells. Aftercare is important to ensure a good show is

subsequent years. Each spring apply a balanced, general-purpose fertiliser at the rate of 70g per sq m (2oz per sq yd), followed by a 5-8cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter to help promote strong healthy growth. Penstemons flower on new vigorous growth that is not lush. Penstemons can become woody and leggy if they are not pruned annually. Trim them once the hard, winter weather is over (usually in late April or early May); until then old stems provide valuable frost protection for the new shoots In spring, when new shoots appear at the base, remove the old flower spikes and any suitable material can be used as cuttings In autumn, limit windrock and tidy up borders by cutting back penstemon by about a third, being sure to leave enough foliage to provide winter protection In mid-spring, check plants for new shoots at the base or along the stems Where shoots are growing from the base, cut out all the old stems close to the bottom Penstemon with few or no shoots growing from ground level should only have their stems shortened, making the cuts just above the lowest set of healthy leaves Once a plant has been pruned, remove weeds and other encroaching plants.

CARL PATTISON
DEAR CHRISTINE
from Robot, Los Cristianos answers your hair questions
HAVE YOUR SAY, PLEASE!
I SEEM to have a lot of new clients in recently who have all had similar problems with their hair. They appear to have ended up with styles they either didn’t ask for, or the complete opposite of what they had in mind. Their fault maybe? Well no, actually, it’s all down to the stylist. Most salons teach their staff to give full consultations BEFORE any comb or colour touches the client’s head, That doesn’t mean to say most stylists adopt that stance before they start. I can tell this because when we sit new clients down and ask what they want, they reply: “Aren’t you going to wash it first?” It means that, normally, they get whisked over to the wash-basin, have their hair washed, and are then asked what they want done with it. But how can a stylist begin to analyse hair and its texture when it’s wet through? How can we see what will suit you
when your hair is dripping wet? Sometimes, we question the work we are being asked to do, but that’s before we wash the hair. How can we do this when the client’s already had her hair washed? The most basic way of keeping clients happy is to ask what they feel are silly questions. But to us, it’s our way of keeping them happy with the final result. We ask about how you style your hair at home, and what products you use; we listen to how much time you expect to spend doing your hair and look after it. We also look at you and your dress sense, your personality and your age group, because all these things add up to a good haircut or colour. During the appointment, we like to know your verdict on what’s been carried out, and we like to keep you informed of what’s going on throughout. Then, at the end, there are no nasty surprises about what we have done to you and your hair. And finally, after the work is complete, it is your chance to voice an
opinion - not just pay up and leave unhappy. It’s the same old story, and I have heard it countless times. But I would be most upset if a client told me she was happy, only to find out later that she wasn’t. That’s what we are here for - to listen! There’s no point going home after, say, a cut and colour, complaining to your other half that you are not happy because you should have been given a chance to speak out in the salon. You can teach anyone to wield a pair of scissors, but it’s the thought and initiative behind those scissors which make a good hairdresser. As the old saying goes, it’s a poor workman who blames his tools. So you know what you should expect on your next salon visit: hairdressers who listen - and let you take a genuine interest in what they are going to do to your hair. You should feel comfortable with them, before a finger touches your head. If not, then speak up because otherwise, it may be too late when the damage is done!
Your resident Agony Aunt Email: agony.aunt@canarianweekly.com Dear Christine, I am a 52 year-old woman who suffers from IBS. Recently, I have been depressed and had severe bloating in my lower right abdomen. It bubbles and pops, and I have been constipated. Irene I’m sorry to hear that you have IBS. It often flares up in times of stress, causing discomfort and even pain. There are various ways of dealing with it, which can enable you to get on with your life. As your IBS is troublesome at the moment, you should really see your doctor because this problem responds well to medication. Once your symptoms have calmed down a little, you may find you can manage the problem by diet alone. Eat plenty of fibre - bran, rice and oats are best. Peas, beans and fresh fruit are also beneficial, as are cabbage, broccoli and sprouts, although you may wish to experiment to see if they agree with you. It’s best to avoid foods containing white flour, as the bleach that whitens it can irritate the stomach. Some people with IBS are intolerant to lactose and need to avoid cows’ milk products, instead using rice milk, soya milk or goats’ milk. It’s worth cutting out one food at a time for a few days to find out if you are sensitive to it. Many people with IBS find that cutting out sugar alone can help them to stay pain-free. However, you need a small amount of unsaturated fat in your diet to keep the digestive tract lubricated, and to help assimilate vitamins and minerals. Unsaturated fat comes mainly from nuts, seeds
and vegetables. While you are talking to your doctor, I hope you will mention that you have been feeling depressed. The appropriate medication can help to rebalance your hormonal system so you feel more able to cope with life’s ups and downs. Dear Christine, In the four years since I came to Tenerife, I’ve had a best friend at school whom I’ll call S. According to other friends, S says she has strong feelings for me, which is freaking me out. Friends say she once took some hair off my hairbrush, burnt it and inhaled the smoke, saying she now had a piece of me inside her! I often go to her apartment because if I don’t, she bullies me verbally and physically (which she also does to my other friends). I’ve been told that once, when I was asleep next to her, she took advantage of me, touching me where she shouldn’t and kissing me. When I think about this I feel sick. Please can you help? Emma You have my sympathies, because being on the receiving end of an obsession is never easy. Unfortunately, you’ve helped to maintain the obsession by sending S mixed signals, such as going to her place. I know you’ve done so because of her bullying, but I hope you understand that she probably takes this as encouragement. I recommend that you talk to your other friends about how uncomfortable you are around S. You say she bullies them, too, so ask how they feel about her
and let them know that she attacks you physically. Ask if you can all stay together during school hours as a form of mutual protection. Perhaps you can work out some sort of rota for getting home safely, because bullies work by isolating their targets. If several of you are willing to stand up to her, you could all tell her that you don’t like her following you around, or attacking you verbally and physically. Let her know, politely and calmly, that if she’s aggressive, you don’t want her near you. A word of warning: I urge you all not to start anything physical with S, such as pushing her around. It would also be wise to tell a teacher what’s been going on. If several of you go to see the Head of Year, he or she will see that this is not just a fall-out between friends. Keep your explanations of what’s been happening clear and brief, and make sure that you’re all going to be saying the same things (do stick to the truth, though). You’re entitled to ask for the staff’s help, and teachers now have discreet ways of managing bullies so that they can’t inflict reprisals on you. You should also let your parents know so they can give you added protection. The website www.bullying. com is packed with useful information, with advice for parents, too. You might not want to involve teachers or parents, but it makes sense to do so. If you do nothing about this problem, it’s bound to go on. I wish you and your friends the confidence to band together and put an end to this menacing and invasive behaviour.

The gain is in Spain for anxious women seeking egg donors MORE and more childless women seeking fertility, via egg donations, are heading to Spain from the UK They are frustrated by Britain’s long waiting lists and huge costs, and they have discovered that Spain is offering accessible solutions. Some women, unable to get pregnant because of premature menopause or a long-standing failure of their ovaries, simply do not produce their own eggs. Alternatively, some women’s ovaries may have been affected by chemotherapy. Donation is also considered after several failed IVF attempts, as it can be a problem with the eggs which causes the failure. For a small group of women, egg donation is an option to avoid passing on a genetic illness. Healthy, unselfish women donate eggs to help other couples conceive. Some
women will do this with no connection to any couple who cannot conceive. Many donors, however, do so in order to help a specific couple. Clinics sometimes have “egg-sharing” schemes, through which women donate eggs to reduce the cost of their own IVF. In Spain, unselfish egg donations are much more common and the supply of eggs is far greater there. This leads to minimal waiting times and greater choice. And Spanish law makes it much easier to have this procedure, recognising the right of a single woman to undergo any fertility treatment, regardless of marital status or sexual orientation. Women are usually paid around £750, but donating eggs is an involved procedure where the donor has to take a course of hormone treatment and then, at a later date, eggs are collected. By law, they are not allowed to be paid, and the money is actually compensation for their time and dedication.
Brits just lump it, even if it’s serious THE British are quite happy to ignore illness, however bad they feel, in the hope that it will go away.
In fact, more than half of all Britons risk their lives at the first signs of a potentially serious illness, according to a YouGov survey, commissioned by private healthcare provider Bupa. It revealed that two in five delay visiting their GP, even when they believe their symptoms could be serious. And one in three puts off having such symptoms looked at because he or she does not wish to waste the doctor’s time. Department of Health figures demonstrate that early diagnosis is vital, particularly in cancer cases. Its research shows that, where bowel cancer is diagnosed early, nine out of 10 early patients survive for at least five years, compared with less than one in 10 diagnosed
late.While unexpected lumps or changes in the size and shape of a mole are wellknown symptoms of serious illness - and more likely to prompt a trip to the GP doctors insist that you should seek help if symptoms persist. Dr Marie Tyrell told Sky News: “We are used to seeing and talking to people about everything - and you will be listened to. We are quite happy for you to come and see us. “Anything that’s worrying
you, lasts for more than three or four weeks and is persistent, means you should ask us about it.” The research also found three in 10 delayed calling the doctor because it was difficult to make an appointment, and more than half would not make an urgent appointment if they suffered a persistent cough for more than a few weeks. Dr Annabel Bentley, Medical Director at Bupa Health and Wellbeing, said: “It is worrying
that people put off seeing their doctor for worrying symptoms. “It may turn out to be nothing, but seeing your doctor can help give you peace of mind. “And, if the symptoms could be because of a serious problem, this allows you to discuss this with your doctor and work out the best plan of action together. “Early stage diagnosis can be really important with some diseases, such as cancer.”
Sweetened drinks are a fat lot of good for kids A LINK between fizzy pop and fruit drinks has confirmed an epidemic of obesity sweeping the US. Consumption of these drinks has more than doubled since the 1970s, and the rate of obesity among Americans during that period reached 30% of adults. A study published online by the New England Journal of Medicine, involving more than 33,000 men and women, showed that drinking sugary drinks affected the genes which regulate weight, and increased the genetic predisposition of a person to gain weight. Researchers used 32 variations of genes known to affect the weight to establish a genetic profile of the participants. They also
determined their eating habits, their consumption of sweetened beverages and exercise practices. Two other studies showed that children and adolescents consuming calorie-free drinks like mineral water, or soft drinks sweetened with artificial sweeteners, resulted in weight loss. The first study was conducted at Boston’s Children’s Hospital, which examined 224 overweight youngsters, who were encouraged to consume water or diet drinks for a year. These teens gained only 0.68kg of weight during this period, compared with 1.5 kg is in another group who consumed sugary drinks. Yet another study was conducted by researchers at
28 September - 04 October 2012
Amsterdam’s VU University and involved 641 children aged between 4-11. Half the group drank sweet and fruity drinks, while the other half had the same drinks with sugarless sweeteners. After 18 months, children who consumed the lowcalorie drinks gained an average of 6.39kg compared with 7.36kg in the group who drank sugary fruit drinks. “Taken together, these three studies suggest that calories from sugar-sweetened beverages do matter,” wrote Yale University’s Dr Sonia Caprio in the New England Journal of Medicine. “These random but controlled studies provide a strong impetus to limit consumption of sugarsweetened beverages
in an attempt to reverse the increase in childhood obesity.”

A traveller’s tale…
MOROCCO is just across the water. An oasis of desert, mountains, valleys and sea - the country has plenty to offer fans of the outdoors! Hikers of all levels will love walking the Moroccan mountains. Among the temperate peaks of the Rif mountain range, its cliffs jutting out into the Mediterranean make this under-explored region magical. The lakes are packed with trout waiting for amateur fishermen. The more sporty will want to tackle the challenges of the Middle and Upper Atlas mountains on foot, by mountain bike or in a paraglider, or to practice mountain climbing, canyoning or pot-holing. Its summits can reach 4000m high. Ifrane, the little Moroccan Switzerland, may come as a pleasant surprise with its summer coolness, winter snow and traditional “mule-ski” trails. Nothing is as indescribable as a stay on the edge of the desert... Head to Ouarzazate to discover its immensity and colours. At night, opt for an encampment in the desert, a chalet in the mountains and, wherever you are, bed and breakfast with the locals for an unforgettable and authentic experience. These are at the heart of the Moroccan identity, like palmtrees, argan oil and the honey from its lavender. Looking out over the
Atlantic, you will be enchanted by the turquoise waters of Dakhla bay! There you will meet migratory birds and pink flamingos. In Morocco, every taste is naturally catered for! Marrakesh is one of the more popular cities to visit, but it’s more than just a city. It is a pearl polished by history and its tradition of hospitality which, for centuries, has known how to welcome visitors. The Majorelle Gardens house a collection of plants from the four corners of the earth flourishing among
elegant ornamental lakes and an Art Deco villa. Yves Saint Laurent’s ashes were scattered here. You leave this enchanted spot in one of the many horse drawn carriages available in the city and take the inevitable trip to the palm grove. From there, you continue to the Ménara, one of Marrakesh’s symbolic places. This elegant building, which you can recognise by its green tiles, is surrounded by an immense ornamental lake. Marrakshi families come here to enjoy this cool spot during heat waves. When you arrive back in
the “red” city, you can enjoy an ice cream, a pastry or a cool drink in one of the establishments in Guéliz, the modern part of Marrakesh. Luxury shops, banks, tearooms and cafés; the “red” city knows how to reconcile its prestigious past with contemporary dynamism. Marrakesh is a city full of life and enthusiasm as its omnipresent dynamism shows. The traveller will be charmed by his finds, encounters, strolls and picturesque souvenirs.

McLaren’s new supercar will be ‘best in the world’ IT takes a lot to impress Ron Dennis, Executive Chairman of McLaren Automotive, but he is positively enthusing over the company’s new P1.
The “Design Study” will be featured at the Paris Motor Show, which begins tomorrow (Saturday) and runs until 14th October. But the legendary outfit insist it is for real, and and though the design has not been finalised, it seems as if it will not vary much from the standard F1 model. It will be available by the end of 2013 at a mere cost of “less than one million euros”, say the company, which is £800,000, and it will be built in Britain. This is the successor to the legendary McLaren F1 road and track machine and, says Dennis:“It comes with a single objective, and that is to be the best sport’s car in the world.” A delighted Dennis added: “20 years ago, we raised the performance of the McLaren F1 supercar and our goal with this McLaren P1 is redefining that concept again. “The P1 is the result of 50 years of experience in racing cars as street sports, and this will be the most technologically-advanced supercar.” That sounds as though the Bugatti Veyron Supersport is about to lose its crown as the fastest production car in the world - but it’s not! Anthony Sheriff, McLaren Automotive Managing Director, said: “Our aim is not to be best in top speed, but to make the quickest, most rewarding series production car on a track.” The P1 shares the original project name of the Nineties legend and is set to take on the next generation of hypercars, from the Ferrari Enzo successor to the Porsche 918 Spyder. But don’t expect British roads to be crowded with them, as mega-wealthy Brits
queue up to place their orders because a McLaren regional big-wig has hinted that only 500 P1s will be built. The P1 follows McLaren’s philosophy of ‘innovation, integration of Formula One technology, and ultimate performance’. The company are keeping most details under wraps, but rumours suggest adaptive suspension, a carbon-fibre monocoque and a 1,000bhp version of the McLaren MP4-12C’s twin-turbo V8, complete with an F1- derived KERS hybrid system. So you can expect a 0-62mph time of less than three seconds and a top speed of around 239mph. And that is double quick! The design follows similar lines to the Ferrari 458-rivalling 12C, but it is wider, which will improve stability and cornering. The lack of an obvious
spoiler suggests active aerodynamics, which reduces drag in a straight line, while increasing grip during highspeed cornering. There are no details for the
interior as yet, but unlike the F1, which had a three-seat cockpit, the P1 will definitely be a two-seater. Buyers will reportedly be able to place orders at the
Paris Motor Show, before the production version is shown next year. Deliveries should be made at the end of 2013. For now, the only certainty of McLaren’s P1 line is that it
will design the prototype you can see in the picture above, and will feature “technology and inspiration” from the Racing division’s imported brand.
How Smart is this little beauty? THE Smart Car of America company have revealed the ForStars concept, which is set to be the star of their Paris Motor Show stand. It will also inspire directly the next ForTwo, which goes on sale late next year from around £12,000. That’s the news from Smart Car officials, who are eagerly awaiting the French show, which begins tomorrow (Saturday) and runs until 14th October. Smart are calling the ForStars concept a Sports Utility Coupe, hinting that the next ForTwo will branch out to include an SUV-style model. The ForStars measures 11½ft long, just over 5½ft wide and around 5ft high, which means that the next ForTwo is also likely to grow in size. The concept is more
28 September - 04 October 2012
muscular than the current ForTwo - quite a little beast, as you can see - and the theme is expected to be incorporated into the next production car. That is expected to include
the same round headlights and mesh grille as the ForUs concept, which debuted at the Detroit Motor Show earlier this year. And there’s also the traditional Smart two-tone paintwork.
The show car’s elaborate interior has scalloped seats, a U-shaped steering wheel and lots of circular forms. ForStars is so-called because the concept features a panoramic roof, and there’s
a video projector mounted in the bonnet scoop, allowing you to watch films wherever you park. Power for the ForStars comes from the same 80bhp electric motor that drives the Smart ForTwo Brabus electric. The lithium ion battery produces 135kW, ensuring brisk acceleration, while top speed is claimed to be over 80mph. The next Smart ForTwo will be available with the company’s new thirdgeneration electric drivetrain, which makes 74bhp. And with a focus on reducing weight and improving efficiency, the 90-mile range of the current ForTwo ED should be increased. Charging from a household socket will take seven hours, while an optional fastcharger will reduce this to one hour. The present car’s threecylinder petrol and diesel engines will also be offered.

WOW! Nobody saw that coming. On Tuesday, Division One leaders Tenerife Hammers A travelled to Los Abrigos to face rock-bottom and pointless La Cana. They were full of confidence and yet, a few hours later, they were left licking their wounds. They escaped with a point from a real barnstormer. John and Keith got early rubbers for the hosts, only for Penguin and Jambo to steady the Hammers ship. And when they won three
Gwen shames Jambo! of the next four frames to lead 5-3 they must have felt the match was won. But they hadn’t counted on Girl Power! First, Hannah got the better of Barry, aka Jet, to make it 5-4, and this was swiftly followed by the upset of the season. Jambo is a seasoned winner, who has constantly topped the Oasis Fm Pool League rankings. Despite struggling in the knock-out events, he rarely loses when it matters in
the team matches. Yet on Tuesday he was taken down by Gwen! His stunning defeat rattled the Hammers and, when John beat Fritzel, they were facing an unbelievable defeat. Alas, it was not to be for La Cana as Penguin held his nerve to see off Carl. But it was still a first point of the season for La Cana, and they will be brimming with confidence when they
travel to face Dreamers this week. Hammers A’s setback has allowed Gaffers A to return to the top. Their strength in depth was on show as they made changes, yet still thumped Terrace B 10-2. Tenerife Hammers C made it four on the spin as they secured their first-ever win over Palms A. Tony was their hero, winning all three matches, and Palms A were left to rue their misfortune.

Tenerife robbed of historic win Leganes 1 CD Tenerife 1 CD Marino 2 Sporting B 3
RAFAEL Pino Blanco. Remember that name. WORST. REF. EVER. To coin a phrase from The Simpsons, I wonder if we will be hearing about this match and this ref in the future. I’ve seen a few games at this level which have made me wonder if the match was “straight”. And I must confess, I’ve been feeling a little annoyed since this match finished. Let me get one thing straight right at the start. This was not a robbery that denied Tenerife a record-breaking sixth straight win at the start of the season. Leganes played well and proved themselves to be one of the better sides in this standard. They created a good few chances and, at the end of the match, their fans felt they should have won. Tenerife had their chances to have put the match to bed long before the hour mark, and a draw was probably the fair result. BUT... Tenerife bossed the early exchanges and took the lead midway through the first half. The lively Loro buzzed into the box after good work from Aridane, and slotted the opener past Falcon. CDT squandered chances to make it two, the worst of which was from Yeray. He managed to hit the woodwork from 12 yards when it seemed easier to score. Leganes were busy as well and, but for Sergio Aragoneses and some poor finishing, they would have been level before the game’s defining moment in the 82nd minute. The hosts were pressing around the Tenerife box, but found a wall of bodies in front of them. Carlos Martinez, their big lump up front, failed to control the ball. Tenerife left-back Raul Llorente walloped the ball, which hit Yeray. Martinez ran into
Llorente and the ref blew his whistle. Free-kick to Tenerife for the foul on Llorente? No. Penalty to Leganes. Huh? At first, it seemed he had given it against Llorente for the crime of clearing the ball. Or for allowing Martinez to run into him. Or maybe it was against Yeray for the crime of trying to get out of the way of a fiercely-struck clearance which was heading his way. I’ve watched it 100 times and, even as I type, I cannot say what Tenerife had done wrong. Blanco booked Yeray, so I can only guess that he thought Yeray handled the ball. The problem is, he didn't. And he also booked Llorente. So maybe he it was for him allowing Martinez to hit him? Minutes of arguing later, Martinez wrong-footed Aragoneses to equalise. Oh, and then Llorent was sent off for giving Blanco too much rabbit. It was a joke. Tenerife have conceded soft or dubious penalties in their last three away matches, had two players sent off AND conceded two free-kicks INSIDE their own penalty area. I ask you. When was the last time you saw ONE free-kick in the box, let alone in successive matches? It’s getting ridiculous.
28 September - 04 October 2012
And Tenerife’s feeling that the world, or the league, is against them was not helped when deep, deep into injurytime Blanco denied Tenerife a stonewall penalty. Gomez clearly handled the ball, right in front of the ref, as he attempted a clearance. As I’ve mentioned, Tenerife didn’t deserve to win, but they do deserve competent officials. Rafael Pino Blanco’s performance stank. I just hope the residue doesn’t stick. Meanwhile, CD Marino were having different problems in Las Americas. Their leaky defence was porous again as they suffered another home defeat. Sporting B were ahead after just 20 minutes thanks to Guerro, and he doubled the advantage after 51 minutes. Luis Mario Alvendiz was another ref to embarrass himself. He gave Marino a soft penalty, which Noah converted to make a match of it, only to then send of a player from both sides. Sporting’s Alex and Marino’s Baldiuno went in double quick time before Javi Marchena hit a sweet equaliser. Marino tore forward in search of a first win, only for Sporting to sucker them, Pablo Perez’s late goal breaking home hearts. They travel this weekend
to one of the big boys, Real Oviedo, while CD Tenerife host poor, in every sense of the word, Zamora. They are on the verge of going bust after it was revealed this week that they owe over 250,000 euros and have no means to bring in any revenue to pay this month’s wages. Their president, Max Martin
(love that name), said: “We need the local council to help us out. We have no liquidity and need help. Now.” They are not alone. Salamanca are in a similar situation and it’s to the credit of the players and staff that they have battled into second place. Times are tough, but business is business and Tenerife should
Position
spank Zamora on Sunday. Interestingly, Tenerife go into the game with an identical record to last season. Played 5, won 4, drawn 1 with 10 scored and three conceded. But you try finding a fan who thinks that we haven’t made progress! What’s the old saying? There are lies, damn lies and statistics!

Horoscopes of the week Libra
(September 24th - October 23rd)
SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) Offers are going to be coming your way and it is going to be very hard for you to know which ones are good and which ones are bad. Well, time is the answer for you, so don’t be pushed before you are well and truly ready Scorpio. Keep your nose clean in business; important faces are watching every move you make. S AG I T TA R I U S (November 23rdDecember 21st) You will be required to do a lot more than your should be responsibility for as close ones gather together. They will try to talk you into doing something of which you have already said you do not approve. But don’t dismiss them straight away, though, because there may be the chance of a fresh job start for you. C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) You will have to learn the art of discretion as some news that you have in your possession fails to remain secret. Think about how you would feel should the situation be reversed. There are too many good times to be had as a group to break up this fun circle now, but the next few days should be dramatic, at least! AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) There are many offers coming your way for fun this weekend, but you seem to have eyes for one only. Do your duty, and then make your getaway to where some romantic and memorable
Page 48
Quiz General Knowledge
An upset in your domestic circle is making it difficult for you to do as you would wish. If you don’t like the atmosphere, then sort it out. There does not appear to be a valid reason for this air of awkwardness anywhere, apart from someone’s very stubborn nature. Money matters can and should be brought to a successful conclusion if you plan - and use - your time well.
1. What even number is next to 16 on a standard dart board? _________________________
times are waiting to be experienced. The following week is all about work and financial matters, so enjoy life while you can because then, the hard work won’t seem such a bind.
2. What’s the capital of Guernsey? _________________________
PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) You have taken a dislike to someone who really doesn’t seem to have done you any harm. However, if you keep up this behaviour, you will only leave yourself out in the cold. Keep out of his/her way for a while and try to look at things from a new perspective. Fresh ideas and improved options bring all the answers you need. ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) There is an awful lot of drama going on in your life at this time and you actually seem to be revelling in it. Take care how much you tell Aquarians about a recent event that has affected your life, they may be more closely involved than you realise and you could end up showing the party concerned your ace card. TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) Stop reading into the words that other people are saying and look at the facts instead. It is quite clear that the planets are making you more emotional than usual. Why not try using this energy to finish off the work matter that has been troubling you instead. GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) You are under more pressure than you thought to sort out a
personal problem but you really could do with a little more time. A younger person is looking to you for some special attention as they try to make a very important decision about their lives. Make sure you think before you answer, they’re likely to take every word you say more seriously than you’d think. CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) A rather intense mood is likely to see you taking the words of friends and loved ones a little too much to heart. Try to lighten up Cancer, or you will not be offered the exciting invitation that someone is holding for you. The number five links to monetary matters and to good luck in business ventures. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Finances are spiralling out of your control and it is important that you don’t cast yourself in an unworthy light to close ones who are trying to decide if they should make a deeper commitment or not. Deal with your problems now and properly, so that they stay away and that you can move on. VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd) You must stop and think about the actions you are planning on taking. More people are going to be involved in the upcoming changes than you may have first realised. Be nice to Leos, who can do many favours for you throughout the coming three weeks. Life is about to take on a more meaningful feel and about time, too.
3. Croque Monsieur is the name of a sandwich, but what’s the filling? _________________________ 4. In which country will you find the Amalfi coast? _________________________ 5. Which label manufactures the Opium brand of perfume? _________________________ 6. What’s Italy’s largest lake? _________________________ 7. Where are DUNN’S River Falls? _________________________
