SUNSHINE BONUS! Pensioner Brits can claim £200 Winter Fuel Payment here THOUSANDS of Expat pensioners in Tenerife could be eligible for the UK Government’s annual £200 Winter Fuel Payment (WFP) - thanks to a European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruling.

It spells good news for our old folk, plus the 100,000-plus Brits living in Spain. Many of them were unable to claim the payment under the old laws.

Previously, Expats were able to receive the allowance only if they turned 60 before leaving Britain, and if they had left the country after the payment had been introduced in 1998.

Some Tenerife Expats will already be receiving the payment as they own a property in the UK and are of pensionable age.

Now, though, you need only have a “genuine and sufficient link to the UK” to qualify. That includes having “lived or worked in the UK for most of your working life” and paid into the Social Service system.

The ECJ ruling came in following a landmark victory for Lucy Stewart and her family, who moved to Spain and as a result became ineligible for certain benefits. Her family contested the legislation and now the eligibility criteria has changed. The changes affect around 440,000 British OAPs, who live outside Britain but within the EU. Those born on or before 5th July 1951 can now go ahead and claim for the 2012 WFP, which ranges from £200 to £300 depending on your circumstances.

Last winter, 72,840 Expats claimed winter fuel payments, at a cost of almost £16 million to the British Government. And that figure could rise to £100m if all the eligible Expats claim this year’s allowance.

Opinion is divided on whether

or not those pensioners living in year-round sun merit this annual payment, which does NOT have to be put towards heating bills. And some say the rich should not receive it anyway, wherever they live, because they can well afford their heating bills. The main opposition to this handy preChristmas bonus comes from the Government’s Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith. He called the ECJ ruling “ludicrous” and pledged to introduce a “temperature test” to determine eligibility when it was introduced in August.

“The winter fuel payment is about helping British pensioners with heating costs,” he said angrily. “It is ludicrous that we could have to pay more pensioners in hot countries.”

People claiming a WFP for the first time from the EU/ Switzerland will need to complete a claim form.

In the UK, newly-eligible pensioners who are not

in receipt of a benefit administered by Department of Works and Pensions (DWP) also need to make a claim.

But, most UK people who qualify for the Winter Fuel Payment are paid automatically because their entitlement can be established from Department for Work and Pensions benefit records. Few British Pensioners in Tenerife will complain at the news.

Edward Salisbury, 68, who took early retirement and moved to Las Chafiras nine years ago, lives in rented accommodation.

He said: “I worked all my life in England, so why shouldn’t I benefit? It actually gets quite chilly around here in the winter, and I’ve got a small electric fire to keep me warm in the evening.”

Mr Salisbury added: “I don’t see what difference it makes anyway. I get a UK pension and it’s paid into my bank there. But I withdraw enough to last each month - and I spend it over

here. “And this little surprise will certainly keep me in suntan lotion for a good while!”

Los Cristianos resident Brian Andrews told Canarian Weekly, “My friend told me about it. I’ve lived here for over 15 years and we’ve not got a house in the UK. “I always thought I couldn’t get the payment, I’ve got my form in quickly - it’s 12 pages long though, so we’ll see what transpires.”

Another Playa de Las Americas resident said: “It doesn’t matter to me because I get it anyway.

“All my affairs are based in the UK and even though I rent here and spend the majority of my time here, I get it automatically.”

Information is available on the Government’s website https://www.gov.uk/winterfuel-payment/how-to-claim and includes claim forms. And claims for winter 2012/13 need to be received by 31st March next year.

www.canarianweekly.com TEN infants under the age of three months have died in England so far this year as a result of the infectious disease.

There were 1,322 confirmed cases in England and Wales in September alone, 300 more than the total figure for 2011 when there were 1,118 cases, the Health Protection Agency (HPA) said. There were 6,121 confirmed cases between January and September this year, the HPA said.

Here in the Canaries between January and October of 2012, 1,042 cases of whooping cough have been detected, compared with 695 in 2011 and 14 in 2010. These cases represent 40 per cent of all patients nationwide In light of the dramatic increase in the number of cases of pertussis or whooping cough over the past two years, the Canarian Paediatric Outpatient Society wants to inform the public of the epidemic situation facing the Archipelago. Above all, it wants to encourage prevention measures, especially vaccination, to prevent the spread of this disease that can cause permanent disability or even death among children less than one year of age.

According to the latest data released by the Canary Islands’ Directorate General of Public Health, through the system of Notifiable Diseases, (EDO,) 1,042 cases were detected between January and October 2012, but they say the number of people affected could be higher.

Gran Canaria has the largest number of people affected, with 482 cases, followed by Tenerife with 470, 38 in Fuerteventura, Lanzarote has 31, La Palma and La Gomera, 12 cases reported.

Of the 78 patients who required hospitalisation, (77 children and one adult,) 14 have required admission to the PICU (Paediatric Intensive Care Unit).

Unfortunately, a girl barely one month old has died.

Therefore, doctors are now, once again, advising parents to take appropriate precautions and strictly follow the immunisation schedule for infants. In the case of pertussis, three doses are needed for full protection, but up to six months of age children are unprotected.

In this regard, experts agree that the best way to prevent the spread of this disease is through

Canaries facing huge whooping cough epidemic

“NIDO or COCOONING Strategy”, which consists of the vaccination with diphtheria, tetanus and a-cellular pertussis (TDPA) of mothers immediately postpartum, as well as other family members who have close contact with infants and children less than one year. This strategy that has already been implemented in other countries, such as the U.S., Germany, France, Australia, Belgium and Costa Rica, with positive results.

Furthermore, since late 2011, the U.S. Health Authorities advise all pregnant women be vaccinated with a-cellular (TDPA), in the third trimester (after 20 weeks), to protect the mother and the newborn.

This vaccine is generally well tolerated, but may cause some temporary side

26 October - 01 November 2012

effects such as pain and swelling at the injection site, fever, headache, joint pain and muscle aches.

Whooping cough is an infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract caused by Bordetella pertussis bacteria and is highly contagious, with numbers rising in recent years throughout the West in general. But in the Canaries, after years with a low incidence, (just 14 cases in 2010), there has been a significant increase, with cases detected in adolescents and adults.

It is characterised by airway inflammation and coughing, typically violent and spasmodic, which produces feelings of suffocation and a loud noise, whoop, when breathing in. It only becomes really dangerous in the case of

infants up to six months and can cause permanent disability or death.

Detection of this highly contagious disease is especially complex, because of the similarity of symptoms with other common diseases spread easily through the air. An infected person sneezing or coughing out small droplets containing the bacteria aids the spreading of the disease from person to person, through contact with hands contaminated by respiratory secretions.

The incubation period, the time until the appearance of the first symptoms, ranges between seven and 21 days and the infection usually lasts up to six weeks. A patient with pertussis can infect others up to 21 days after starting to cough, especially older children,

adolescents and adults.

The first symptoms of pertussis are those of a common cold: runny nose, sneezing and a mild cough, but in most cases there is no fever.

After just a few days or so, the coughing worsens, especially at night, and bouts are violent, with repetitive breathing difficulties and sometimes a choking feeling.

During these bouts, infants and toddlers may have facial cyanosis (blueness around the mouth). And although young baby’s coughs may be minimal or nonexistent, they can stop breathing for up to 20 seconds or more – this happens in 60 per cent of children under one month. In this case, take the child to A&E immediately.

In older children, adolescents and adults, the

disease may go unnoticed because the symptoms are not as obvious. The main one to look out for is a cough that lasts for more than two weeks Guidelines to prevent the disease - Get your child vaccinated, according to the Official Calendar, at two, four, and six months, with boosters at 18 months and six years.

- Keep babies away from anyone with a cough or cold symptoms.

- If you think you or your son / daughter has symptoms suggestive of pertussis contact your doctor or paediatrician immediately.

- “NIDO or COCOONING Strategy” vaccinate mothers immediately after birth and other family members who have close contact with infants and children under one year of age to protect against pertussis (father, siblings, grandparents , caregivers and health workers).

- Vaccination for pregnant women, U.S. health officials advise vaccinating pregnant women (in the last quarter) to protect the mother and the newborn.

- Other measures: frequent hand washing (soap and water or alcohol-based gels) and, above all, use tissues and cover with your elbow when coughing.

Treatment and isolation measures - Whooping cough is treated with antibiotics for five days, both a “suspected case” and all persons who have had “intimate” contact with the patient.

- Individuals diagnosed with pertussis and contacts that have the cough should be isolated at home during the five days of treatment.

From that day they can go back to school, work, etc.

- The treatment will improve symptoms if little time has elapsed since the onset of pertussis. If not, the symptoms can persist for up to months, despite treatment.

Possible easing on deficit targets SPAIN’S Prime Minister, Mariano Rajoy, said there is a case for easing budgetdeficit targets set by the European Union as the recession undermines tax revenue.

“I think what a lot of other people think,” Rajoy told the Spanish senate recently.

“Things could be done more calmly, taking into account especially that we are in a recession, but in any case I can’t give up on Spain’s commitments.”

Rajoy’s comments undercut Budget Minister Cristobal Montoro’s insistence that Spain can stick to the path of budget consolidation demanded by the EU, even after the Bank of Spain said

the euro area’s fourth-largest economy contracted for a fifth quarter between July and October.

“In 2012, we definitively will comply with our target,” Montoro said as he presented the 2013 budget to the Parliament in Madrid. The EU has set Spain a goal of 6.3 per cent of gross domestic

product this year, after overspending amounted to 9.4 per cent last year, as much as Greece and the secondhighest shortfall behind Ireland.

Spain’s borrowing costs rose 12 basis points to 5.6 per cent after the Bank of Spain said the recession will worsen in coming months and called

on the government to take further measures to fulfil its commitments.

Rajoy didn’t mention seeking aid, even as he praised the European Central Bank’s offer to help lower countries’ borrowing costs.

“The ECB has set up a mechanism to purchase a country’s bonds in the secondary market if it requests it, that’s an important step forward,” he said.

Economy Minister Luis de Guindos meanwhile told lawmakers that Spain’s access to funding has improved.

“We are starting to see foreign investors coming back to back Spanish debt purchases,” he said. “That is fundamentally due to two reasons: because the government is doing what it has to do, and because we are all acting to dissipate doubts on the euro’s future.”

Spain withdraws from Afghanistan SPANISH troops stationed in Afghanistan will begin turning over the security duties in Badghis province to their Afghan counterparts next month as they initiate their withdrawal from the country.

The 207th unit of the Afghan army will take over the command from Spain on November 1st. Spanish officials will continue, for now, to guide Afghan troops in anti-insurgent strategies but nevertheless, the Spanish officers will be

playing more of a behindthe-scenes role until local forces eventually take over the security operations now being handled by UN troops in the country.

Between January and

February, Spanish troops will leave the Bernard de Gálvez base in Ludina, and between March and April, Spain’s forces will also abandon Rickets base in Moqur.

By the spring, Spain will call back its advanced combat unit (COP), which has suffered the most Taliban attacks.

There are 1,520 Spanish soldiers currently stationed in Afghanistan.

Trick or treat costs a bomb

BRITS are expected to spend over £650 million on trick or treat and whoosh, whoosh, bang!

Despite relatively modest levels of participation for both events, people in the UK are expected to spend that amount celebrating Bonfire Night and Halloween, according to the latest YouGov Sixth Sense report.

Only 29% of adults will actually participate in an activity to celebrate Bonfire Night, held on the traditional date of the 5th November; spending is anticipated to be an estimated £386 million.

Bonfire Night celebration items people are expected to buy in 2012 include: · Fireworks: 12% of adults will buy fireworks to use at home or take to a party · Food and drink for parties: 12% of UK adults will either attend or host a party Attending organised displays: · 29% of adults expect to attend an organised fireworks display · However despite the hype, not everyone is enthusiastic, with 67% of adults saying that fireworks “should only be let off at properly organised displays”.

Although slightly less popular than Bonfire Night, 53% of adults agree that Halloween is a “fun event for kids”. But despite relatively warm feelings for the event, held on 31 October, only 23% of adults will actively

participate in an activity to celebrate Halloween.

For Halloween 2012, consumers in the UK will spend an estimated £268 million: · Treats for trick or treating: 4% of UK adults plan to go trick or treating with kids · Dressing up: 7% of adults plan to dress up their children, and 6% plan to dress up themselves · Food and drink for parties: 7% of UK adults will attend a party and 4% will host a party · Pumpkins for carving: 8% of adults will carve a pumpkin.

Some people have negative impressions of Halloween, however, seeing it as an “unwelcome American cultural import” (45% in agreement). Furthermore, not everyone is convinced that “trick or treating” is harmless fun for the kids (33%).

Commenting on the findings, YouGov SixthSense Research Director James McCoy said; “The massive amount of money consumers are already spending on Bonfire Night and Halloween would certainly be enough to make retailers sit up and take notice. But the really interesting thing about this report is that the number of people actively taking part is still rather low, and so the big opportunity for retailers is to get the high percentages of people who feel favourably about Bonfire Night and Halloween out celebrating, and of course spending money.”

NEWS IN BRIEF General Strike goes ahead SPANISH unions have confirmed that their one-day General Strike will take place on 14th November, which coincides with a planned walk-out in Portugal.

Nearly 150 social organisations will be taking part, and CCOO union communications secretary Fernando Lezcano believes support for the strike will be “massive”.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said in Brussels: “The strike will do nothing for the image of Spain, and I do not share the strike motives.”

Canaries on the Poor side RATINGS agency Standard and Poor’s has lowered the credit ratings of the Canary Islands, among five Spanish regions and the cities of Madrid and Barcelona, to BBB minus - just a notch from “junk” status, after cutting the country’s overall rating.

The credit outlook for all the entities reviewed was negative, which means they are at risk of further downgrades if conditions worsen.

There are fewer fire fighters available THE Regional Fire Consortium approved, back in June, a budget reduction to the Tenerife Cabildo of 1.07 million euros, and now the effects of the cutback are starting to be felt.

Each shift was scheduled to have two fire-fighters less, so that Tenerife would have 42 instead of the 44 that were available at that time.

The measure is already being applied at the fire station located in Las Chafiras (San Miguel de Abona).

So now, Las Chafiras goes from 10 fire fighters daily to eight, as in the fire stations in La Laguna and La Orotava, while Icod maintains six fire fighters and Santa Cruz continues with 14.

In protest against the reductions to the budget, which this year has been reduced by a further 7.0 per cent, fire fighters have just demonstrated in the streets of Santa Cruz de

Tenerife, supported by public employees.

The Federation of Citizen Services Workers’ Commissions (CCOO) alluded to the “permanent state of insecurity that the Island is subject to,” with cuts in the fire brigades, a situation that has come, “Because of the debts the Canarian Government and the Tenerife Cabildo owe to the Consortium”. The union estimates the figure, in the case of the regional executive, is 500,000 euros.

The CCOO said, “What is now unacceptable is that

administrations are not honouring their commitments to the security of citizens.”

According to the organizers, the precarious situation “carries significant risks to the security of the island because, of the 52 fire fighters provided for emergencies, we now have only 42 covering needs on a daily basis”.

Appearing sympathetic to the current economic crisis, the representative for the fire fighters, Salvador Peraza, emphasised, “It must be prioritized where to cut and where not to”.

IT looks as though the wet summer and the Olympics’ effect on the UK have led to a surge in bookings for halfterm breaks, especially to the Canary Islands.

There has been a 19% increase in families searching for some late October sun, according to TravelSupermarket. com.

Islands on the breadline ONE-THIRD of households in the Canary Islands are at risk of falling into poverty, according to data from the National Statistics Institute (INE) data.

And every fifth resident in Spain lives below the poverty line.’ which means they have less than 7,355 euros annually to get by on.

It also revealed that 60.8% of Canarian households are not able to handle unforeseen expenses, which is 1.5% more than in 2011.

The INE also places the Autonomous Community with the most people on the threshold of poverty throughout Spain.

Our grapes flourish again AFTER several years of the Island’s grapevines suffering some difficult moments, conditions this year seem to have given a break to Tenerife growers.

What has led to this improvement has been, above all, the lack of rain, which has resulted in the scarcity of diseases.

Already, a significant 4.6 million kilos of grapes have been collected, and the fruit quality is very good. As for the wine? As always, the public will have to wait for San Andres and the traditional opening of the wineries, but experts say quality is one of the main characteristics of this year’s wines. .The regions of Abona, Icoden-Daute-Isora, TacoronteAcentejo, Valle de Guimar and Orotava Valley all saw a marked improvement this summer. The most striking is the Tacoronte area because the harvest has doubled in the last year, from 800,000 kilos to 1.6m kilos this summer.

Musical kids wanted for show STAGE ENTERTAINMENT, the company producing Beauty and the Beast, (La Bella y la Bestia) is looking for three children, aged between six and 11, to play the character of Chip from 28th December to 6th January, when the popular musical features at the Tenerife Auditorium, in Santa Cruz.

Auditions will be held at the venue on 5th November, and the producer says the kids must be enthusiastic about appearing in the show.

The requirements, in addition to age, are a good attitude and enough vocal ability to sing a song - and really want to have fun.

Applicants should send an email to quieroserchip@ stage.e and include, besides the child’s personal data and a photograph, a contact telephone number and full names for the parents.

Expats rally to change voting rights in the UK A CAMPAIGN against the denial of voting rights for Britons who have lived outside the UK for more than 15 years is calling on the 5.6 million Britons living abroad to lobby the members of the House of Lords for a change to the ruling.

An amendment to repeal the 15-year rule, and also for the streamlining of the voting system to make it easier for expats to vote, will be raised

by Lord Lexden in the House on Monday, and then will be debated in the Lords on 11th November.

Much, of course, depends on majorities in the Lords, party groupings, and specifically independent thinking from Crossbenchers and others in the Lords.

That is where campaigners want expats to come in, and try to persuade all those with voting powers of the justice of the campaign.

According a statement from the movement, ‘Votes for Expat Brits’, ”We have reason and logic on our side. How can a country that prides itself on being the Mother of Parliaments, which is actively espousing democracy, voting rights, everywhere else in the world – Libya, Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan, you name it - deny voting rights to so many of its citizens, for arcane reasoning, and make voting for expats so incredibly difficult.

The arguments we can put forward are as follows, “We pay out taxes, wherever we are.

We believe in and share core values, hard work, taking responsibility, looking after our children, and our parents to the best of our ability – how many thousands send their

children back to the UK for their education?

We are all linked, worldwide, we have computers, read newspapers online, communicate, network, Skype, follow the affairs of the UK online perhaps better that our fellow citizens, resident in the UK. We are the people who lay the groundwork for export contracts worldwide, who build up the UK GNP- yes the Royals fly in and do sterling work on trade missions, they are the cherry on the cake – but it is expats worldwide with the local know-how, the contacts who do the essential groundwork for any trade mission. Expats are the entrepreneurs, who start-up businesses, and bring home the bacon.

We represent the UK wherever we go, and in the main part, with great credit, we represent the best of Great Britain wherever we go, our political system, our

system and idea of ”fair play”, democracy and voting rights for all. Nearly all expats do just that, and very willingly, bringing credit and respect to GB”.

Most other member states of the European Union, including Spain, France, Germany, Italy and Portugal, plus other countries such as the United States, and Switzerland, allow expats to participate in elections throughout their lives.

The campaigners suggest the following message be sent by all expats: “Play your part; give us back the right to vote for life. Make it simpler for expats abroad to vote.”

Red Cross donates family school kits ADEJE’S Education Councillor Andres Perez Ramos, accompanied by a Red Cross representative, delivered school kits to 60 disadvantaged families in the Municipality.

The choice was made fairly by using records provided by the risk prevention section of Child Care at the Department of Education.

Councilman Perez Ramos said, “This Red Cross initiative is such a success, because in

these times, what we must do is join forces for the benefit of those individuals and families most in need. In Adeje we seize every resource at our disposal, both internal and external, to help a sector of the population that circumstances have left in need of aid”.

The campaign included the participation of Red Cross volunteers who took the opportunity to thank everyone who helped in the campaign.

installed at each stop, providing greater comfort for users with disabilities and, in particular, making it much easier to get in and out of the seats. MTSA is committed to their Corporate Social Responsibility Plan, and aims to continually improve the service to the public.

Bleak outlook for 2013 Fred Olsen warning that it might close some of its routes THE Managing Director of Fred Olsen, Sebastian Cerezo, has warned that if the Canarian Government does not pay the money that it owes, corresponding to discounted trips by residents and trips taken by public servants, it may have to close some routes.

Cerezo said the situation of “routine” delays by the Government of the Canary Islands is “unsustainable” and, he added, the ferry company has been awaiting payment since the middle of last year and owes Fred Olsen 18 million euros.

The debt could, later this year, amount to 21 million, said the CEO, who also claims that shipping companies compete at a disadvantage with the airlines, which charge for the bonuses each month and only deal with

the Ministry of Development.

Shipping companies, however, receive half of the repayment from the Ministry of Development, which pays every three months, and the rest from the Canarian Government, Sebastian Cerezo said, adding that the airlines charge, “in a timely manner but we don’t”.

The companies Fred Olsen and Armas move more than four million passengers a year between the islands, while the airlines move around 3.3 million, he said.

The Canarian Government’s delay in paying Fred Olsen has forced some cutbacks in staff and the company has had to seek funding with banks, something that is increasingly difficult to do, said Sebastian Cerezo.

Fred Olsen has 820 workers in the Canary Islands’ and if the Government does not pay soon, it will have to take more “radical” steps, such as the closure of unprofitable routes or those whose survival depends on the payment by the regional government, concluded the CEO of the shipping company.

THE Canary Islands’ Regional Government President, Paulino Rivero, spoke out recently and did not mince his words. Next year, he said, will be “terrifying” for the Canaries due to the State Government’s cuts.

Speaking in Parliament, Rivero lamented that “many people” will not be able to continue to serve in government next year.

If there was any doubt about the maintenance of public employment in 2013, he has now dispelled it.

This decline, coupled with

rate. In response to a question from PP member Asier Antona, Rivero said the administration reform undertaken by his team has been accelerated by the “razor sharp” budget of the government, headed

by Mariano Rajoy, which requires the Canarian Government to, “deepen the adaptation of the structure to the new reality “.

While there are currently rumours circulating that the state government wants the Canary Islands to cut 10,000 public servants’ jobs in order to receive the bail out of over 750 million euros requested by Rivero in mid-October, so far there has been no official announcement to that effect.

Budgetary constraints have also led Rivero to predict that it will be, “very difficult” to maintain essential services.

Rivero commented that the “massive amount of people who came here during the last 15 years, and are still coming,” has caused problems for the citizens of the Islands in terms of the job market as well as the fact that the Canaries have one of the lowest average salaries in the nation.

Rivero said that, for this reason, in the Canaries, unlike the mainland territories, it is important to defend basic services, because for most Canarians, on such low wages, private health care and education are not simply an option.

Canarian Night coming to Puerto de Santiago

THE Santiago del Teide Council is preparing for the twelfth edition of the Baile de Magos, a typically Canarian fiesta.

Through its Department of Culture and Fiestas, in collaboration with local

the deficit, which amounted to 800 million per year, led him to conclude that the outlook for 2013 is gloomy, at best.

He adds that cuts in the State funding to the Archipelago fell almost 50 per cent in the last two years, from 1,300 million euros to about 700 million. “This has caused a lot of damage,” said President Rivero.

The spokesman for the Canarian nationalists, José Miguel Barragán, agreed.

Cautioning that it will be “very difficult” to adjust budgets next year “without citizens being affected,” he also left the door open to more hardships on account of the fall in investment, which will result in a higher unemployment

folklore groups, the annual Baile de Magos of Santiago del Teide will take place tomorrow (Saturday) in the public square at Puerto de Santiago.

The event will be free, and the public are encouraged to wear traditional dress, as will all the participating groups representing the Island, who will add a Canarian musical

touch to the evening. For those without a costume, from 10.30 on the day until the start of the dance, costumes will be available in the square to rent for 20 euros for adults and 13 euros for children. Proof of residency is required or a 30euro deposit will be necessary.

Performing on the night are the Santiago del Teide School of Folklore, folk groups Brisas

de Arguayo, Tayme from Tamaimo, and Raíces from Santiago del Teide, in addition to various other groups that have been invited.

Those interested in reserving tables for the Canarian night on October 27th must apply at the Fiestas department in person or telephone 922-86-31-27 extensions 234/235.

New group speaks out against new Coastal Law THE newly created Canarian Platform in Defence of the interests of those affected by the Coastal Act says it is ready to go to the international courts.

It hopes to achieve a general amnesty for people living on disputed maritime-terrestrial public domain locations along the coast. The President of the platform, Jose Luis Langa, who has just announced the creation of this association, also announced the presentation of a bill to gain the support of the Regional Parliament, as well as plans to approach all public institutions on the Archipelago.

The aim is to create a single voice, with no political affiliations, to defend the coastal settlements that have endured for

Page 10

generations and “are part of the identity and history of the Canary Islands.”

Langa said that in the last meeting with the CEO of Coastal Sustainability, Pablo

Saavedra, he promised that the Canaries would have special treatment under the law. However, this has not been fulfilled and the islands have been left out of the exceptions contained in the bill. Only the ten coastal towns of Alicante, Valencia, Girona, Málaga and Huelva (plus the island of Formentera) have escaped demolitions.

But here in Candelaria, there is immediate concern for the nine families in the Cho Vito coastal

neighbourhood who face the demolition of their homes on November 12th.

“Cho Vito is now on death row and we are asking for an amnesty at the last minute,” he said.

Langa was accompanied at the press conference by the president of the Association of Residents of Playa Garza Eyes (Gran Canaria), Juan Pedro Perez Medina, the president of the Association for the Defence of Housing Tufia (Gran Canaria), Juan Sanchez Herrera, and the

representative of those affected by the Coastal Act in the district of Santa Lucia de Guimar (Tenerife), Tania Garcia.

The Platform is asking the public to join this partnership in a united front to lobby public institutions, Canarian, National and European.

Jose Luis Langa also used the occasion to solicit the signatures they need to file a citizens’ initiative to the regional Parliament. At a minimum, the platform has to get 15,000.

“We do not defend the slums, but the people.

We are not against the environment, but we do want the people who live on the coast to be helped

by European funds so they can either reform their homes or move. We must defend them tooth and nail” said Langa. He also said that the platform is apolitical and not interested in confrontations among politicians.

“The text of the draft Coastal Act is a frontal attack on the Canarian people and we want to suspend the demolition sentences,” he concluded.

Information will be coming soon on how to join and add your voice to the growing numbers in support of this movement.

Tell your benefits office about holidays abroad WITH the usual heatwaves hitting Spain and especially Tenerife - this summer, many expat residents will have chosen to return to the UK during July and August to escape the high temperatures.

Granadilla invests in local business THE Employment Agency and Local Development (AEDL) Council in Granadilla, under the leadership of Esteban Gonzalez III, has launched its Integral Consolidation Plan and Zone Management for Granadilla trading zones, with a total investment of 50,000 euros, subsidised by the Cabildo to the tune of 30,000 euros to hire two business experts.

Esteban Gonzalez, said, “Despite the reduction in

the amount of funding from the Cabildo, the municipal corporation has decided to maintain the total investment with a greater contribution from the general expenses budget, so we can continue with the planned commercial revitalisation plans for Granadilla town, El Medano, San Isidro and Los Abrigos”.

Activities will focus on three strategies: Municipal Commercial Campaigns; promotion of the brand

image of the Commercial Zones individually and together, and other activities.

These projects will have the cooperation of business associations in the municipality, which will assist in the successful promotion of small and medium businesses, with special emphasis on the individual shopping areas.

With the development of the different editions of the Comprehensive Plan and Management Consolidation,

the project has already achieved considerable progress, with a general ‘tidying up’ of the areas and the hosting of numerous events that have given impetus to sectors such as car sales, cuisine and fashion.

Esteban Gonzalez says: “Of the 62 new companies created in the last year, the fastest-growing sector are businesses engaged in retail and hospitality, which account for 90 per cent”.

Now that autumn is here, however, many are beginning to come back to enjoy the milder weather, especially on the mainland.

Some may be intending to spend the entire winter there, while others may stay just a few weeks or months.

But however long your stay, the British Embassy in Madrid has issued a warning about the important of notifying the office which pays your UK benefit before you go abroad, even for a short time.

In fact, any change in your circumstances, such as moving in with a partner, starting work, or even moving house, should be reported immediately to the relevant authority paying your benefit or pension.

Spending time out of the UK, whether for a holiday or to live, doesn’t necessarily mean your benefits will be affected.

But if you go abroad even for just a few weeks, failing

to notify your local benefit office could be considered an offence. It could lead to prosecution, imprisonment and even the confiscation of your home and possessions.

More information on UK benefits in general, and on which ones can and cannot be received while living in Spain, can be found at www. gov.uk.

And if you suspect someone you know of committing UK benefit fraud while living in Spain - taking public money that should be destined for others more needy than themselves - please call the free and confidential Benefit Fraud Hotline in Spain on 900 554 440.

Brit still missing SPANISH police are still searching for a British tourist who has disappeared on La Gomera.

Richard Michael Lee, 56, was last seen having breakfast at the Torre del Conde hotel in La Gomera’s capital, San Sebastian, on October 7th.

Police say the keen hiker could be stuck in one of the ravines in the Garajonay National Park. He had arrived alone on October 5th and was due to return to the UK on Friday, October 19th. The alarm was raised with Guardia Civil officers on the 14th when, having not seen him

for a week, worried hotel staff contacted his travel agency.

Clothes and his suitcase were still in his room. On the day of his disappearance, he was wearing a white polo shirt and jeans. Richard is about 1,80m tall, his complexion is described as fair and he has long hair which is slightly greying. Police sources said several theories as to his vanishing were being considered, but they were focusing on the hypothesis that he had gone missing while hiking. If anyone has any information they can call the Guardia Civil in San Sebastián de la Gomera on 922 870 326.

'Zero energy' warning for the Canary Islands THE regional Minister for Industry, Energy and Labour, Margarita Ramos (PSOE), has warned that the Canary Islands face a “serious risk” of zero energy if there is an increase in electricity demand this winter, due to the shortcomings in infrastructure and transport lines.

Speaking to the media after meeting with the directors of Red Electrica (REE), Jaime Collantes and Ana Cueva, Ramos insisted that the regional government, “Has asked the State and REE to

take responsibility” for any supply problems that would put in “danger” the tourism and industrial sectors, apart from the damage that it would cause to the general public.

Ramos noted that energy planning in Spain right now is “paralysed”, but has warned that the Canaries “cannot wait” as there are areas that need to “strengthen” infrastructure, particularly in La Palma, the centrenorth of Gran Canaria, and the metropolitan area and northern Tenerife”.

Have you heard about mobile which vanished up a cow’s backside?

INSURANCE companies always have a host of funny stories to tell about claims for mobile phones, and now one firm had compiled a top10 list of the weirdest excuses.

It includes the Devon farmer who said his phone had disappeared inside the back end of one of his cows.

He said he had been using the torch on his iPhone while helping the animal during calving. He later retrieved the phone, but it was damaged.

Another claim came from a Nottingham woman, who said she had baked her Nokia 6303i into a Victoria Sponge cake.

One woman said she had

been walking her Cocker Spaniel on Barry Island beach in Wales, when a seagull swooped and snatched the Samsung Galaxy from her hand.

And a man in his 30s said he had been filming monkeys from the car window at Longleat Safari Park with his HTC One X and one of the animals snatched it after jumping on to the roof of his car.

Meanwhile, a couple claimed for their missing phone after dropping it over the side of a cruise ship while trying to recreate a scene from Titanic.

Other phone mishaps included a pyrotechnician who accidentally blew his device up with fireworks, and an angry girlfriend who threw her partner’s phone at the wall.

Ford job losses

IT'S the end of an era: car manufacturer Ford has announced the closure of its last remaining UK vehicle production factory, and another site, with the loss of 1,400 jobs.

Union officials said the job losses in Southampton and Dagenham, Essex, were “devastating”, accusing the US company of “betrayal”.

Transit production will switch next year to Turkey from Southampton, where Ford said costs were “significantly lower” than anywhere in Europe, even after delivery charges.

This means the loss of over 500 jobs, with the remainder being cut through the closure of a tooling plant in Dagenham.

Stephen Odell, chairman and chief executive of Ford

Page 14

of Europe, said capacity at the plant in Kocaeli was much bigger than in Southampton, which produced around 28,000 vans last year, compared to 185,000 in Turkey.

Ford said it hoped to achieve the reductions through voluntary redundancies, enhanced employee separation and redeployment to other sites.

Mr Odell said: “We are reaffirming our commitment to the UK with a major investment in powertrain and engineering and one which will reinforce the UK’s central role in Ford’s global powertrain strategy.”

Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said: “Only a few months ago Ford was promising staff a new Transit model for Southampton in 2014. The planned closures will really hurt the local economies and the supply chain will be badly hit - up to 10,000 jobs could be at risk.

Homeowners are worried about home repossession

D E S S E S S O P E R

WHICH? is calling for the Treasury to put tougher obligations on banks taking part in the Funding for Lending Scheme as new research finds half the population are worried about mortgage rates and a quarter (26%) of people with mortgages fear having their home repossessed.

The findings, published in the Which? Quarterly Consumer Report, reveal a fragile housing market dividing the nation.

An increasing gap is developing between older, more financially secure homeowners and those who are struggling, namely those who are aged 30-49 who bought their homes recently and younger people who can’t get on the property ladder.

Many people in the 30-49 age group are ‘mortgage prisoners’ trapped in their

current mortgage deal, unable to switch when rates increase. This group has the greatest housing related costs, spending on average £186 a week, compared with the national average of £135.

The Quarterly Consumer Report also reveals that home ownership is increasingly out of reach for first-time buyers with rising rents making it harder for people to save for the large deposits needed. More than half (54%) of people under 30 who don’t own a home are worried about getting on the property ladder.

Lenders have also increased mortgage arrangement fees, which have risen by around 60% in the past eighteen months to an average of £1,472 in August 2012.

Their findings, revealing the depth of problems in the housing market, come at a time when banks and building societies are being given access to cheap funds through the Government’s Funding for Lending Scheme. However, more than 1.6 million people with mortgages have been

hit by increasing Standard Variable Rates on their mortgages, meaning they are now paying about £400 million a year extra despite the Bank of England base rate remaining unchanged for more than three years.

We want the Government to ensure lenders that have been given access to cheap finance pass this on through lower borrowing costs to help all borrowers, not just those with significant equity. We don’t want to see the Funding for Lending Scheme widen the gap between secure homeowners and those who are struggling through no fault of their own.

Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said: “The housing market is failing not just one but two generations of consumers, with many mortgage prisoners trapped on their current deal and young people excluded from the housing market altogether.

“The Chancellor must put tougher obligations on banks that get cheap finance through the Government’s Funding for Lending Scheme so that

more is done to help those who are struggling through no fault of their own, and especially to ensure that mortgage prisoners and first time buyers can benefit from lower borrowing costs.”

Which? is calling for: The Government to put in place clearer rules for the Funding for Lending Scheme to ensure that banks and building societies pass on this cheap finance to mortgage prisoners and first time buyers.

The Government to publish its expectations for the scheme, and what safeguards are put in place to ensure that banks pass on cheap funding to consumers.

Greater transparency from the banks who should publish details of their mortgage lending using the Funding for Lending Scheme.

Banks to stop increasing arrangement fees, which have risen by around 60% in the past eighteen months to an average of £1,472 in August 2012, to bring down the costs for people to switch to another mortgage deal.

Hillsborough: Top cop resigns before being told to step down LEADING policeman Sir Norman Bettison, accused of a coverup over the Hillsborough Disaster. has resigned as Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police.

It was a case of him jumping before being pushed because he had been called upon to leave with immediate effect by the region’s police authority.

His departure from the £215,000-a-year post was welcomed by relatives of the 96 Liverpool fans crushed to death in the 1989 tragedy, at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough ground.

The post on the Hillsborough Family Support Group’s Twitter page simply said: “Yay! He’s resigned!!”

The 56-year-old officer was set to retire next March, and it is believed he will not receive severance pay - and a spokeswoman for Merseyside Police Authority, where he was previously Chief Constable,

said it is considering what implications his decision will have for his £83,000 annual pension.

It was alleged that Sir Norman instigated a coverup after the disaster, laying the blame on drunken Anfield fans before the FA Cup semifinal between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.

He has always denied the allegation, saying: “I have never blamed the fans for causing the tragedy, “The suggestion that I would say to a passing acquaintance that I was deployed as part of a team tasked to ‘concoct a false story of what happened’ is both incredible and wrong.

That isn’t what I was tasked to do, and I did not say that.”

Sir Norman was a chief inspector with South Yorkshire Police at the time of the disaster. He attended the match as a spectator and was involved in the subsequent police force investigation.

He has been under growing pressure since last month’s publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel report, which revealed

26 October - 01 November 2012

an orchestrated police coverup.

The Panel’s damning report, which had access to 450,000 documents, found that 164 police statements were doctored - 116 of them to remove or alter “unfavourable”” comments about the policing of the match and the unfolding disaster.

A complaint was made to police watchdog the Independent Police

Complaints Commission (IPCC) that Sir Norman had supplied misleading information in the wake of the disaster. The IPCC is investigating his role.

Despite fears that his departure could see him avoid further investigation, the IPCC confirmed that he probe into his action would continue.

In a statement issued

by West Yorkshire Police Authority, its Vice-Chairman,

Councillor Les Carter, said: “I can confirm that the Police Authority has accepted Sir Norman’s resignation with immediate effect.

“The media attention and the IPCC investigation is proving to be a huge distraction for the force, at a time when it is trying to maintain performance and make savings of £100m.

“We therefore believe that his decision is in the best

interest of the communities of West Yorkshire.”

Sir Norman, who again expressed his “innocence” in the statement, added that he would assist inquiries into the disaster itself and the subsequent cover-up.

He also said that he had sought to remain in his post to address the allegations against him.

Margaret Aspinall, Chairwoman of the Hillsborough Families Support Group, whose 18-year-old son, James, died in the disaster, called for Sir Norman’s pension to be frozen, pending the outcome of the probe.

“I’m absolutely delighted he’s gone,” she said.“But as far as I am concerned, he should have been sacked.”.

Trevor Hicks, HFSG President, said: “We welcome the resignation, because Mr Bettison’s position had become untenable and was growing more so with every day that passed.

“His was a position of trust - and he had lost that trust a long time ago.”

UK petrol down, and all thanks to supermarkets!

BRITISH supermarkets may have sparked a petrolprice war by lowering their prices, following a drop in the wholesale cost of oil.

Asda led the way by cutting up to 2p off a litre, saying customers would have to pay no more than 133.7p.

The move was followed by close rivals Sainsbury’s and Tesco, who also pledged similar reductions. And the AA was swift to jump in by urging other retailers to do the same.

It is a welcome bonus for UK motorists, who have been paying up to 140p a litre – against the 114-euro average in Tenerife.

But Paul Watters, the roadside recovery group’s head of public affairs, said: “Unless the rest of the market reflects the lower cost, it will be a case of the same old story - prices up like a rocket, falling like a feather.”

And it’s true. Usually, when

wholesale prices fall, British garages are reluctant to lower prices, while any increase is added immediately.

The AA is providing vital information to the Office of Fair Trading, which is probing whether a fall in oil prices is being passed on to motorists.

Mr Watters added: “Last week, our fuel-price report pointed to a 4p drop in petrol wholesale prices working its way through the system.

“UK average petrol pump prices reached a late summer high of around 140p a litre in mid-September, and sat there for more than a fortnight.

“More than a month on, the average petrol price is down to only 138.70p a litre.”

Asda cut its petrol prices by 3p a litre at the end of September and other retailers said they would follow suit.

Meanwhile, average diesel prices have fallen by 1p a litre - which reflects accurately the late summer decrease in diesel wholesale costs, according to the AA.

Dodgy stolen-car racket is really booming in the UK

THE number of cars reported stolen fraudulently in the UK during 2011 has shot up nearly nine times since the previous year.

And the sudden flood of fake insurance claims is, say police, mainly down to the recession.

Car thefts in 2009 represented 1.18% of total crime, and slightly less in 2010.

But by the end of last year, the figure had rocketed to 13.5%.

The scam, say police, is that car owners report their vehicles as stolen, claim the settlement from their insurance companies, and then sell the cars on with different registration numbers and identities.

The owners often invent aggravated robbery to ensure their policy will cover the theft,

Page 16

with violent incidents reported rising from 752 and 606 in 2009 and 2010 respectively, to an incredible 6,619 in 2011.

This also solves the problem of when the insurance company asks the owner for both sets of car keys, the claimant says he or she has one only since the attacker stole the spare set.

It means the third party, who sells on the car with a different registration number, does not need to reprogramme the settings, or have new keys cut.

Police also detected a large number of cars being bought and sold with the same characteristics as those reported “stolen”.

Insurance companies say fraudulent claims have gone up by 10.5% in the last year, having detected a total of 130,959 cases across the industry - seven in 10 of which involved stolen cars.

Home buyers will be told to prove they can repay mortgages IT has been difficult enough for wouldbe home buyers to obtain mortgages throughout the recession, and life will become even harder for them in 18 months.

Tough new rules have been outlined, which mean borrowers will be only be given deals the lenders believe they can afford to repay.

The new measures come into force in April 2014 and, it is hoped, will prevent a return to irresponsible lending.

Lenders will have to consider a borrower’s income and outgoings, and interestonly mortgages will be offered to only those with a firm repayment plan.

Until recently, some borrowers pinned their hopes on house prices going up - as they always did before the recession.

The lenders will also have to factor in the impact that future interest-rate increases could have on repayment costs.

Martin Wheatley, managing director of the Financial Services Authority (FSA), said: “We recognise that many lenders are now using a far more sensible set of lending criteria than before.

“But it is important that these common-sense

ITALIAN friar Alessandro Brustenghi is the shock rival for Simon Cowell’s X Factor winner in the annual race for the pop chart’s Christmas No1.

The 34-year-old Franciscan friar lives and works as a carpenter and tour guide during the day in Assisi, at the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli - a hilltop town in northern Italy.

But with help from the Manic Street Preachers and The Cure producer Mike Hedges earlier this year, his debut album Voice From Assisi landed him a major record deal with Decca.

The tenor has now topped the UK’s Specialist Classical

principles are hard-wired into the system to protect borrowers. ”We want borrowers to feel confident that poor practices of the past, which led to hardship and anxiety, are not repeated.”

The clampdown follows a period during the property boom when would-be buyers stretched their finances increasingly to get on the ladder – and were allowed to by banks and building societies.

Last year, a house was worth around five times the buyer’s income on average, compared with 3.7 times a decade ago.

As a result of lenders already tightening their borrowing criteria, up to 45% of borrowers who had taken out

a deal since 2005 could be left in a mortgage trap, according to the FSA regulator.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) had previously raised concerns that many more existing borrowers could find themselves trapped under the new rules.

But the FSA has now altered its plans so that lenders will be able to “switch off” the requirements for existing borrowers who wanted to get a new mortgage for the same amount or less, as long as they had proof of a good repayment history.

The FSA also announced a new rule which takes effect immediately, stating that lenders must not take advantage of a borrower who cannot get a mortgage elsewhere by, for example,

offering them a worse interest rate or terms.

The FSA has already warned that a “ticking time-bomb” has been created over the last 20 years, with around 1.5 million interest-only loans, worth some £120bn, set for repayment in the next decade.

Paul Broadhead, head of mortgage policy at the Building Societies Association (BSA), said: “No one can argue with the objective that lenders lend what consumers can afford to repay.

“It is common sense that a mortgage should be repayable from income, rather than rely on increasing property prices, and this is the approach that building societies and other mutual lenders already take.”

Friar is tucking into pop race with X Factor star Chart, leaving Russell Watson’s Anthems in second spot.

A somewhat bewildered Alessandro said: “I have been overwhelmed by the reaction and the warmth of the people to this album. I feel the connection to so many hearts

in a communion of beauty and joy, through music.”

The X Factor winners were always guaranteed an Xmas No1 until 2009, when Joe McElderry was pipped by little-known Rage Against The Machine after a Facebook campaign against

manufactured artists. Essex singer Mart Cardle restored the balance for Cowell in 2010, but last year’s winners, Little Mix, failed to top the seasonal charts when their single was kicked into touch by the Military Wives.

Record bosses at Decca are hoping they can continue to buck the trend by releasing an Alessandro Brustenghi single in time for the Christmas contest against the 2012 X Factor winner.

But even if it does hit the top, it won’t raise a bean for Brustenghi. He has taken a vow of poverty, which means that all proceeds will go to charity.

Peace Poster girl Anna wins top Lions’ award WINGATE School again accepted the annual challenge by Tenerife Sur Lions Club to participate in the prestigious Lions International Worldwide Peace poster competition, representing the South of Tenerife.

And so good was the number and quality of posters produced that the judges provided an additional two merit awards.

Anna Gorodnichaya took the top prize, and Highly Commended merit awards went to

Vad Reuton and Millie Street.

The competition encourages young people to think about peace and express creatively what it means to them, sharing their own unique vision with the world.

The posters are to be evaluated on three criteria at each level of judging: originality, artistic merit and expression of the theme “Imagine Peace”.

Tenerife Sur Lions Club has for many years fostered a vibrant youth involvement in the community, especially with holidays for under-

privileged and handicapped children.

Club President Norman Goodall MBE and his wife, Edna, were part of the judging team, along with Shelby Healey, an art teacher at Wingate School.

Individual winners were presented with their awards during a special assembly, which followed the school theme of “World Development Day” and was included in a power-point presentation.

The posters have now been

sent to Madrid to be judged again, and the winner will represent Spain.

The international Grand Prize winner and family will receive a holiday at the awards ceremony on Lions’ Day at the United Nations in New York. The first prize is $2,500 (3,250 euros) with a further 23 prizes of $500 (649 euros).

The Lions offer special thanks to Wingate School and all the children who gave their time and effort to make the event so memorable.

Brave Aaron steps out to help the Bomberos BIG-HEARTED Aaron was so pleased when a fire engine turned up at one of his fund-raisers that he is now repaying the compliment.

Next Sunday (3rd Nov), this courageous little Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy sufferer will tackle a sponsored walk, from La Caña bar in Los Abrigos to the Terrace Bar on Amarilla Golf, to raise funds for the Bomberos.

“These brave people helped me on one of my own events, and I would like to return the favour for them keeping our Island safe,” he said.

“So please dig deep, help them get new equipment - and come and give me a

shove along!”

The Adeje Bomberos, one of Tenerife’s voluntary fire brigades, were delighted with his response, and some

firemen will be walking every step of the way with him.

He steps out at midday and hopes to complete the journey by 3pm, so go

along and give him as much support as possible.

Live Arico (PAWS) News

An insurance firm’s doggie dividends...

Tenerife Insurance Services (TIS) donated 1,000 euros to the former Live Arico Refuge in April through p e o p l e taking out or switching from their existing DKV agent to this special group policy.

Now, TIS have now made a 725euro donation, to our newly-formed Live Arico Pets Animal Welfare Supporters (PAWS), and we thank Chris and all at TIS for their kind donations.

Live Arico PAWS have negotiated an exclusive deal with DKV for Private Health insurance via Tenerife Insurance Services, which

enables you to get cover at substantially-reduced prices.

Upcoming Events On 9th November, we will be raising funds on the Top Square, Golf del Sur, to finance the vet care of a special lady called Bess.

She is a year old and was abandoned on Golf del Sur recently with a debilitating leg injury. Cruelly, her leg was broken at the shoulder several months ago and left to mend itself. This now must be corrected so that Bess can have the mobility she deserves.

Best-bargain shops We have some fantastic bargains in our three shops.

We are in Los Cristianos, Churchill Square, opposite the play park by the harbour, and open from 10am to 4pm daily, including Sundays.

Our San Eugenio shop, opposite Hotel La Niña, by Amandas Bar, opens Monday to Saturday, from 10am-4pm.

Lions’ Dream Holiday team awarded a special accolade TENERIFE Sur Lions Club President Norman Goodall MBE, and some of his “Dream Holiday” project team, joined 400-plus plus supporters of the Down Syndrome Association at their annual fund-raising lunch.

It was held in Santa Cruz, at the Casa Manolo Restaurant in Llano del Moro, El Rosario, and the Lions were there as special guests.

And they enjoyed a particularly special moment when the organisation’s Efrain Calpote presented Norman and team member Margaret with mementos, painstakingly made by children at the Association’s school.

Also present, and adding her support to the Association, was Margarita Pena Machin, President of the Institute for Social Care and Insular Sociosanitaria,

and an adviser-delegate to the Tenerife Cabildo .

The Down Syndrome Association (Association Trisomicos 21) does an incredible job supporting the children by teaching and helping them to develop the everyday lifeskills they need in today’s society.

Each year, the Lions’ Dream Holidays project provides and organises holidays for under-privileged and life-challenged children.

This year was no exception, with a number of children and their carers from the Association joining others for a week’s holiday in the UK. The project team are very much aware that these holidays are made possible only through the generous support of local businesses, and the tireless efforts of club members and volunteers in the Tenerife Sur Lions charity shops.

So it is all the more appropriate that a big word of thanks goes to everyone involved.

Send your old glasses to Tenerife Sur lions and change a life OPTICIANS San Clemente Opticas, in Av. de Suecia, Los Cristianos, have again filled a Lions’ collection box with old and unwanted spectacles.

They were donated by customers for the Lions Recycle for Sight programme, and Tenerife Sur Lions Club member Margaret was there to receive them from Pepe.

She also expressed grateful thanks to the rest of the staff, Laura and Ana, on behalf of the Lions, and for those who will ultimately benefit.

According to The World Health Organisation, 153 million people have uncorrected refractive errors (near-sightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism).

Most of these vision impairments are quickly diagnosed and easy to treat with corrective lenses.

Yet millions of people in developing nations are pushed deeper into poverty simply because they don’t have glasses.

Here’s their problem: they can’t learn, because reading is difficult, and they can’t work to the best of their ability because they cannot see clearly.

For children, clear vision means a better education, healthier development and a better quality of life.

For adults, it means greater employment opportunities and economic strength.

For seniors, it means less dependence on others.

International Lions sponsor a worldwide collection and distribution of used spectacles to Third-World countries, where the recipients are not interested in the fashion statement of the frames, but in the lenses to let them have sight.

As part of this effort, Tenerife Sur Lions Club are collecting unwanted spectacles through their charity shops, and other participating supporters.

When the San Clemente Opticas’ staff were approached to help, they readily agreed to ask their clients to donate their old and unwanted spectacles to the cause.

As a result, they are now on their way to filling a third Lions’ collecting box, thanks to the customers’ generosity.

Is your home like so many others, where you can find a pair of spectacles which are

no longer being used?

“I’ll just keep these as a spare pair - sounds familiar?

And so into a drawer they go, never to see the light of day again. Yet those same pair of spectacles can change another person’s life?

So why not clear out that drawer and drop that “spare pair” into one of the Tenerife Sur Lions Charity Shops,

at Costa Silencio or Los Cristianos, and change a life.

To find out more about Recycle for Sight, go to the Lions Club International website at www.lionsclubs. org/EN/our-work/sightprograms/eyeglassrecycling/index.php

Gok Wan hosts this brandnew dating game show with a difference, where 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 this show, Harry has his pick of three lovely ladies: Rebekah, Gabriela and Cassie. One of them admits to being a nose-picking bogey-eater, while another says she uses dates for free food.

Whoever he picks, will they be able to identify what's in his big red bag? And when Hayley has to select from three handsome hunks, she's faced with the revelation that one can't use a microwave and another thinks he's Harry Potter.

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

Vicky’s back in style!

VICKY DENTON, born and bred in West Yorkshire, started performing in a local amateur dramatics society at the age of 10.

Eventually she acquired a position at Leeds Music College, studying musical theatre and performing arts.

At 18, Vicky was offered a dancing role in a five-star resort in Greece, and she then moved to Mallorca as lead singer in a hotel’s show team.

She decamped to Tenerife

Plumbing cheek of it HERE’S a short story for all who moan about the price of entertainment: A man calls the musicians’ union to get a quote on a six-piece band for a wedding. The rep replies: “Off the top of my head, about £2,000.”

The man says: “WHAT? FOR MUSIC?” The rep responds: “I tell you what, call the plumbers’ union and ask for six plumbers to work from nine till midnight on a Saturday night. Whatever they charge you, we’ll work for half.”

in 2006, working in animation for 3½ years, leading to a career change in which she began studying as well as performing in the Mamma Mia Vicky gained her teaching qualification, which ended her singing career for a short while. But, as the song goes, now she’s back and featuring in another duo, ‘Tenerife All Stars, plus a new solo show featuring the music of Eva Cassidy, Mariah Carey, Duffy, Emeli Sande, Patsy Cline, Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis.

Watch this space!

Dodgy new faces RECEIVED via email, a brand-new show announcing their arrival in Tenerife: Currently available for afternoon bookings, Bodgit, Leggit and Scarper are a Children-based jazz trio from the hills of St Eugenio. Still available for Christmas Eve

and New Year’s Eve (union rates apply). Now, although the Canarian Weekly welcomes all acts to our lovely island, I shall not be advertising a contact number for this trio; they just don’t look as if they’re performing with a sober attitude!

Vacation versus vocation EVERYONE loves it when entertainers announce on Facebook that they’re arriving in Tenerife for a week’s working holiday with the hope of being booked up while here. Most of us resident acts believe that’s a great idea - we are also hoping to be booked up while here.

Soul representation LEIGH DARDZINSKI always wanted to be a singer, and was a big fan of Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Take That.

She feels very lucky to have helped out in dad’s shop, LA Resale, because she met all the acts who came in for backing tracks.

One such entertainer was a big inspiration to her Elaine Alexander. Leigh used to spend her weekly pocket money listening to Elaine every Friday night at the Soul Suite.

Dad also set up her first show, aged just 13, at the Premier Bar on Amarilla Golf.

In 2010, with best friend Amber, they developed Sweet Temptations, a fullychoreographed show with costume changes.

A year ago, dad called with a

new idea for a show: Northern Soul. Less than a month later, Leigh, Amber, Scotty D and Sheila Tyson performed their first show as Soul Sensation; the response has been great.

This April, Leigh and Amber joined forces again with their Abba tribute, this time complete with husbands! See them here: Mondays: (alternately) 9.45pm - Arona Gran, Los

Cristianos (Abba); 10.15pm Highland Paddy, Los Gigantes (Abba) Tuesdays: (alternately), 10pm Fañabe Hotel (Abba); 11.15pm Kandi Lounge, Puerto Colon (Sweet Temptations) Wednesdays: alternately, 10pm - Oasis Paraiso, Playa Paraiso (Abba); 11.15pm Dreamers, Los Cristianos (Abba) Thursdays: 10pm - Marylanza, Golf Las Americas(Abba); 11.15 First n Last, Fañabe (Sweet Temptations) Saturdays: (alternately), 9.45pm - Gran Oasis Golf , Las Americas (Abba); 10pm - La Siesta, Las Americas (Abba); 11pm - Ye Olde Ocean, Fañabe (Abba) Sundays: 9.30pm - Luabay Hotel, Torviscas (Abba)

Matt Baker gets to grips with some of the more exotic crops grown there and finds out how a brisk coastal walk inspired an award-winning business harvesting salt from the sea. Julia Bradbury feels the wind in her hair on a racetrack proud of its eco-credentials and finds out why the Fog House on North Stack, which once sounded the warning to keep vessels safe in bad weather, is up for sale.

In 1943, a 24-year-old maths student and a GPO engineer combined to hack into Hitler's personal super-code machine - not Enigma but an even tougher system, which he called his 'secrets writer'. Their break turned the Battle of Kursk, powered the D-day landings and orchestrated the end of the conflict in Europe. But it was also to be used during the Cold War, which meant both men's achievements were hushed up and never officially recognised.

W C CHOICE Andrew Marr's History of the World BBC1, 21:00

Documentary series charting the story of human civilisation. In this episode, Andrew Marr explores the Age of Revolution. In the 17th and 18th centuries, people across the world rose up in the name of freedom and equality against the power of the church and monarchy. In America, people fought a war to be free from British rule. In France, bloody revolution saw the king and aristocracy deposed. And in Haiti, the slaves revolted against their masters. The world was also gripped by a scientific revolution, sweeping away old dogmas and superstition. Galileo revolutionized the way we saw humanity's place in the universe, while Edward Jenner used science to help save the lives of millions.

The X Factor Results Show ITV1, 20:00 Dermot O'Leary returns with the second of this weekend's shows. Tension will be in the air when the results of the public vote are announced. Following their exciting live performances last night, the acts have had to wait almost 24 hours to learn their fate. The performers with the lowest number of votes will have to sing for survival, leading to at least one devastating elimination. Tonight's superstar performers are former X Factor group JLS and Labrinth with Emeli Sande.

New Tricks BBC1, 20.30 When someone tries to assassinate Stephen Fisher, Strickland calls the UCOS team together asking for their help.

Thirty years ago, when he and Fisher were at Sandhurst together, they were involved in a covert operation on behalf of the security service. A team was assembled to break into the house of a journalist, Simon Bisley, who was believed to have information on IRA arms deals.

With Bisley killed in a hit and run accident shortly after the operation, another member of the team found dead days ago and Fisher now targeted, Strickland believes that someone is out to kill all the original team.

But when a connection is made to known gangster Carl Dillon, and MI5, Strickland and Fisher realise the threat may be coming from within the security service itself.

Panarama BBC1, 20.30 Panorama - Winterbourne View: The Hospital That Stopped Caring BBC Panorama exposed the abuse of vulnerable people at Winterbourne View private hospital in Bristol - and shocked the nation. Tonight, as the last abusers have been sentenced, BBC Panorama can reveal exclusive daily care logs from inside the hospital, never before shown secret footage and evidence of possible mistreatment at another hospital. It is the untold story of some of the patients who faced the worst abuse at Winterbourne View.

There are allegations a number of patients from Winterbourne View have been assaulted at other hospitals and BBC Panorama follows their troubling journey.

Panorama answers some of the questions which Castlebeck, the owners of Winterbourne View, haven’t answered: including details about the high fees charged for some patients, even while costs were being cut. The film exposes significant failures in the management of the hospital and its training regime that contributed to the culture of abuse.

National and regional enquiries have examined the abuse at Winterbourne View but still, tonight, Panorama asks whether the patients from Winterbourne View are safe now and whether the most vulnerable people in society are really being protected.

Young Dracula CBBC, 17.45 This fourth series of Young Dracula follows the next chapter in the life of Vlad, the son of Count Dracula and now the acknowledged Chosen One of the Vampire clans. Balancing the pressures of growing up and being a teenager with the responsibilities of leadership are testing Vlad to the max. As a peaceloving vampire, he flies in the face of traditional Vampire thinking; convincing others, particularly the Slayers, of his peaceful agenda is a full-time job and that’s without the Count hindering his every move. In episode one - The Good, the Bad and the Undead - new trouble enters the mix in the form of young, smart and bad Malik, who creates feelings of intrigue and mistrust in equal measure. Ultimately, Vlad has to find out if he can trust Malik, or if he is just one of many who will try to undermine Vlad’s peaceful co-existence and steal his family and his girlfriend. Not all vampires and Slayers are abiding

by Vlad’s initiative for peaceful co-existence, which was agreed in a treaty set up between the Vampire High Council and the Slayers Guild. Vlad and his gang are patrolling the streets to ensure there is ‘no biting, no slaying’, but inevitably there are always renegades flouting the rules. There are also plenty of people who are hoping and plotting for Vlad’s initiative to fail, not least the Count, who when not fantasising about his beloved Miss McCauley is secretly in cahoots with Vampire High Council Member, Ramanga and High Council wannabe Ingrid, plotting to bring the peaceful co-existence to its knees. In a last-ditch attempt to prove his plan can succeed,Vlad and Jonno arrange a Vampires v Slayers football tournament. What can possibly go wrong?

Dessert is a true Anglo Italian affair with a ruby red plum and amoretti crumble. There is also an easy no-stir risotto with Nigella's farro risotto with mushrooms, and finished with chocolate pasta with a dark butterscotch sauce - a perfect supper for those nights when you can't decide if you're in the mood for savoury or sweet.

Dispatches Channel 4, 20:00 Getting Rich on the Nhs. Under the new health r forms, private firms are being awarded millions of pounds-worth of NHS contracts. One of the major new players is Virgin Care, a global brand more readily associated with planes, trains and record stores. The company is already providing medical services and running entire medical centres and is developing links to GPs across England. Health reforms were meant to improve choice and competition, and put GPs in the driving seat. Morland Sanders examines whether the rapid handover of services to private contractors is really good for the public purse, and good for patient care.

Operation Iceberg follows a team of adventurers and scientists as they put their courage to the test in the most extreme of environments in a groundbreaking expedition - exploring the unknown world of icebergs.

Chris Packham, Helen Czerski, Andy Torbet, Chris Van Tulleken and Doug Allan travel to the Arctic to trace the life cycle of icebergs, some of Earth’s most stunning natural phenomena. No expedition has explored their creation, life and death... until now.

In this first episode, the team set out to discover why Store Glacier in Greenland makes so many icebergs on such a huge scale. Working with ice experts, the team looks at the forces at work in this unpredictable environment. Naturalist Chris Packham takes a trip on a research yacht in the danger zone at the front of the glacier, using special scanning equipment to discover what exists below the sea level. Ocean specialist Helen Czerski and diver Andy Torbet explore the inside of the glacier and, in a prime spot overlooking the glacier, cameraman Doug Allen patiently awaits the calving of Store Glacier. As the first phase of the expedition draws to a close, the team witnesses the most dramatic moment of the Arctic summer when a multi-million ton block of ice breaks away from the glacier. An iceberg is born.

Britain has the safest roads in Europe, and yet after years of fewer people dying on our roads, numbers are rising again. Five people die on average each day on our road network; more people were injured last year than the entire population of the city of Northampton.

In this two-part documentary, Justin Rowlatt and Anita Rani clock up the miles, crisscrossing the country to find out why so many traffic accidents are still happening.

They witness what traffic police see every day, meet crash survivors and safety experts; they undergo tests with scientists and psychologists to examine our driving abilities, and squirm with discomfort when their own driving comes under close scrutiny. As government spending cuts continue, some analysts believe it is laying the foundations for a road safety disaster.

A year after the M5 crash – in which seven people died – Justin and Anita ask how good are Britain’s roads and cars at protecting us? As the government considers raising the speed limit to 80mph, Anita takes to the motorways with the police, while Justin hits the test track in his poorly maintained people carrier. How will it compare to the latest cuttingedge cars?

Experts believe we’re on the cusp of a safety revolution, with high-tech cars and black boxes or cameras recording our every move; Justin and Anita find out what it’s like to drive with big brother technology installed. And they learn about the real economic cost of car crashes and how they compare to the costs of fixing Britain’s most dangerous roads.

On the way they meet extraordinary people - a Paralympian who says she wouldn’t be in a wheelchair if she had worn a seatbelt, a couple who saved lives in the M5 crash, and the man responsible for safety rating every road in Britain, who believes some of our important roads are in crisis.

Against orders he decides to question MP Martin Fleming - which puts him on a collision course with DCI Burgess.

Tom Rothwell's return from abroad presents Helen with an opportunity to put pressure on the family. But when Ken's pornography search turns up a name for the suspected hitman, Helen and the team are soon on a manhunt across the Yorkshire countryside. As Banks gets closer to understanding Keith Rothwell's double life, he starts to question his own state of mind.

W C CHOICE Brazil with Michael Palin BBC1, 21:00

Michael Palin travels from Brazil's northern border with Venezuela along the Rivers Branco, Negro, Amazon, Tapajos and Xingu, through the very heart of the Amazonia, before ending up at the capital Brasilia. He visits indigenous tribes, one of the last seringueiros, or rubber tappers, and watches the Amazon Philharmonic Orchestra rehearse in the magnificent Manaus Opera House. Travelling by river boat he heads up the Tapajos river to Fordlandia, to seek out what remains of Henry Ford's bold but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to build a rubber plantation the size of Wales in the middle of the rainforest. Michael is dazzled by the exotic Amazonian foods that chef Thiago uses in his kitchen and is welcomed into the Wauja tribe. In Brasilia he meets up with rock star and political activist Dinho Ouro Preto who thinks Brazil, despite all its social and environmental problems, is on the brink of fulfilling its destiny as a super power.

Autumnwatch BBC2, 20:00 Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan broadcast live from the Scottish Highlands, reporting on all the latest wildlife action. Martin Hughes-Games tracks down one of the UK's newest and most controversial residents, the beaver, and there is a dramatic battle between two red deer stags as the autumn deer rut heats up.

Tonight ITV1, 19.30 Too Scared to Speed: Tonight Many 999 crews are increasingly concerned that they are risking prosecution for driving too fast and taking too many risks while responding to emergency call-outs. Their concerns follow an incident earlier this year in which a Hampshire police officer was charged with dangerous driving following the pursuit of a suspect. No-one was injured and the officer was eventually cleared – but the Police Federation has criticised the decision to prosecute him in the first place. In tonight’s programme, Jonathan Maitland examines calls for police, fire and ambulance crews to receive greater protection from prosecution when responding to 999 call-outs.

Room On The Broom – looking ahead A very special family Christmas treat on BBC One The premier of the half-hour animated special Room On The Broom, will light up faces and warm the cockles of every family on their sofa this Christmas, when it broadcasts as a festive highlight on BBC One. Room On The Broom is an enchanting tale of friendship and family that has been beautifully adapted from the magical picture book by the same creative team that brought Christmas cheer to BBC Christmases past with The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child. Room On The Broom continues the tradition and will make quintessential viewing for the whole family to enjoy - a date not to be missed in the Christmas calendar.

The award-winning book was written in 2001 by Children’s Laureate Juilia Donaldson and illustrator Axel Scheffler, the creators of the much loved modern classic The Gruffalo. It tells the story about a kind witch who invites a surprising collection of animals to join her on her broom, much to the frustration of her cat. The gang ultimately saves the witch from a fearsome dragon, and in gratitude she rewards them with a magnificent new broom which has room for everyone.

The film is joyously narrated by Simon Pegg and the six lovable characters are voiced by stellar British acting talent - Gillian Anderson as the Witch, Rob Brydon as the Cat, Martin Clunes as the Dog, Sally Hawkins as the Bird, David Walliams as the Frog and Timothy Spall as the dastardly Dragon.

A highlight not only of this year’s BBC One Christmas schedule but also a future classic for years to come, Room On The Broom will be half an hour of pure joy for one and all - so sit back, relax and let the magic of the broom sweep you away.

Room On The Broom is produced by Michael Rose and Martin Pope of Magic Light Pictures (The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo’s Child, Chico & Rita); and René Aubry (The Gruffalo, The Gruffalo’s Child) has composed the music. Room on the Broom is published by MacMillan Children’s Books. It was commissioned by BBC One Controller Danny Cohen and Controller of Drama Commissioning, Ben Stephenson.

Stacey Dooley presents a documentary series where five cosseted British kids travel to the other side of the world to work in factories making their muchloved gadgets, toys and clothes.

Do these five UK kids have the backbone to swap places with the workers of Asia? The kids spend their last few days roughing it as farm hands on a remote island in the Philippines. Fresh from pooling their hard-earned wages to bring a family back together, they join rural workers on the only silk farm in the Philippines. Here they have to handle and process the big fat live bugs needed to make luxury silk - and some of the group have to face deep-seated fears to be able to do the job. When the group get back home to the UK, their families reflect on the effect this emotional trip has had on their children.

As ever, they are under the strict scrutiny of Lord Sugar's aides, Nick Hewer and Karren Brady. In their first task, the candidates roll up their tailored sleeves and embark upon sifting through a mountain of other people's cast-offs in search of something special. With cash from Lord Sugar to invest in cleaning and customising, the rivalry is intense as the 12 challengers vie to impress the boss, some splashing out on grand designs, others opting for a budget approach.

UK households cut back on essentials NEW Which? research finds consumers are reluctant to spend and are cutting back on essentials despite an increase in their spending power.

The bleak findings show that 6.6 million households curbed their spending on essentials in September, 4.8 million households used their savings to pay for essentials, and 2.4 million households borrowed money from family or friends.

That’s despite the Which?

Spending Power Index showing an increase of 0.8% year-on-year as incomes outstripped inflation in five of the last six months.

While disposable incomes have risen, consumers remain worried about rising prices, with fuel, energy and food prices the top household financial worries.

The new research also reveals that: > One in three people (34%) tended to have no money left at the end of the month and those who did were more likely to save it or use it to pay off debt than spend it. > 43% of people borrowed

Off with the old and on with the new as digital TV takes over money or took out additional debt in the last month. > 800,000 households took out a pay day loan. > Four in 10 said they planned to cut back on food costs and about half said they were likely to cut back on clothes (54%), home improvements (49%), holidays (51%) and big ticket items (53%). > 43% of people are finding it difficult to cope on their current income. > Two-thirds of people are worried about future tax levels and 60% are worried

about public spending cuts. > Two-thirds of people remain concerned that the recession is having a negative impact on their finances. > Three-quarters of people (73%) still rate the UK economy as poor.

Which? executive director Richard Lloyd said: “With household incomes already stretched to breaking point and rising fuel, energy and food prices adding to the strain, it’s no surprise that millions are having to

cut back spending on essentials and alarming numbers of people are taking on extra debt just to make ends meet.

“Consumer confidence is at rock bottom. The Government and businesses must give consumers confidence that everything possible is being done to keep prices in check and give people value for money if we are to see the consumer spending recovery that is so essential to the nation’s economic well-being.”

What a surprise… the mini Apple of its iPad! APPLE has stepped up its rivalry with Amazon, Google and Samsung by launching a smaller version of its iPad tablet computer.

The mini iPad is about two-thirds the size of the full-size model and will cost from £269, which makes

Page 38

it dearer than the others.

Experts expected the smaller tablet to match prices with the Google Nexus devices 7 and the Amazon Fire, which are £70 and £ 110 cheaper, respectively.

Marketing chief Phil Schiller said: “It’s not just a shrunkendown iPad but an entirely new design. Others have tried to make tablets smaller than the iPad and they have failed

miserably.” He added: “The technology inside is equal to, if not better than, the iPad 2 in every way.”

Chief executive Tim Cook presided over the launch of what was considered his first Apple product, and not a model rubber-stamped by the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who derided small tablets.

The mini version will be available from next Friday (2nd Nov), and in a further surprise, the company revealed that it will upgrade its full-size iPad tablet just six months after launching a new model.

In the past, it has updated the tablet annually, but the fourth generation iPad will double the speed of the processor. It will also have a better camera, and will work on more LTE wireless data networks around the world.

Apple has dubbed the iPad mini “every inch an iPad”, highlighting the fact that the 275,000 iPad specific apps will run seamlessly on the smaller slate, so users will not have to worry about any unsightly black spaces, as seen on the iPhone 5.

The American firm has now sold more than 100 million iPads since 2010 - and it stuck with its 9.7in screen while lower-price rivals introduced tablets with smaller screens.

Now, however, it has joined the mini-tablet pack!

Jeff Kagan, an independent technology analyst, said the smaller iPad was a gamble for Apple because it risked cutting into sales of the original iPad. “But it will increase the size of the Apple customer base by opening up new segments of the market,” he predicted.

TELEVISION bade a fond farewell to analogue broadcasting in the UK this week after more than 70 years.

The switchover to digital television was completed in Belfast on Tuesday when the city’s golden girl Dame Mary Peters, the 1972 Olympic pentathlon gold medallist, turned the final analogue switch off at a transmitter at midnight.

And anyone still using the original signal lost access to channels at 11.30pm.

The final analogue broadcast, in the last UK region to make the switch, was transmitted in Northern Ireland by the BBC and, simultaneously UTV, and fronted by Eamonn Holmes.

The programme featured a review of the Second World War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the end of the Soviet Union.

But all is not lost for those old-timers in Northern Ireland left with analogue

TVs because they can be converted via a digital settop box - even the black-andwhite ones! .Ed Richards, Chief Executive of communications regulator Ofcom, said: ”The UK’s switchover to digital has been a huge success.

“Not only has it created more TV choice for consumers, but it has freed up vital capacity, which will be used to deliver mobile broadband services to 98% of cities, towns and villages across the UK.” The conversion to digital TV in the UK started in 2007 with a region-by-region switch-off.

The analogue channels have been replaced by more than 70 digital channels, with new capacity for mobile broadband services.

Mr Richards added: “,Ofcom is now looking forward to delivering the 4G auction as the next step in delivering new, higher-speed, mobile broadband services.”

Analogue TV broadcasting in the UK began on 2nd November 1936, with the launch of the first public TV broadcasting services.

Gardening jobs for this week…

PLANT health authorities across the United Kingdom have stepped up their efforts to tackle a new disease of ash trees.

· Cut late-summer-flowering clematis right down to soil level · Divide congested clumps of perennials such as asters, campanulas, rudbeckias and chrysanthemums after flowering · Plant bare-rooted roses · Dig up and compost exhausted summer bedding · Plant out wallflowers, interspersing with tallergrowing tulips · Pile a thick mulch of compost or bark around hardy fuchsias to protect them from frost · Move shrubs, including conifers and evergreens, that have outgrown their position · Pot up tender perennials from summer displays to bring under cover for winter protection · Pick leaves affected by rose blackspot and collect any lying on the ground nearby · Cut down perennials whose seedheads aren’t worth keeping, digging in compost around them · Wrap grease bands around fruit trees to catch female winter moths climbing up from the soil · Plant out garlic or start growing cloves in pots to plant out later · Clear away old crops and dig over the ground · Sow hardy peas under fleece for an early crop next

year · Harvest mature marrows, pumpkins and squashes · Save fully ripe seeds from your favourite peas, beans and tomatoes to sow next year · Pick apples and pears as they ripen · Sow a green manure crop of winter rye on bare areas of soil · Order fruit trees, bushes and cane fruits for winter planting · Sow broad beans outside under cloches, or raise in pots to plant out later · Add old crops and bedding to the compost heap · Spike lawns then brush grit into the holes to improve surface drainage · Collect seeds from beans and sweet peas to sow next year · Firm soil around newly planted trees and shrubs if they’ve been loosened by wind · Check bulbs and tubers in storage for signs of rot · Rake up leaves to compost into leaf-mould · Build a log pile for beneficial insects and animals to use for hibernation · Send off for new seed and bulb catalogues · Check bonfires carefully before lighting to make sure there are no sleeping hedgehogs underneath

Work to combat Chalara dieback of ash has been under way for some months.

The Forestry Commission and the Food & Environment Research Agency (Fera) are now following up cases confirmed in trees in East Anglia which do not appear to be associated with recent plantings of nursery-supplied plants.

The UK Government is also preparing to impose restrictions on imports and movements of ash plants and seeds into and within Great Britain. These could come into force as early as next week. Meanwhile the Horticultural Trade Association has also encouraged its members to voluntarily stop importing ash plants until the disease situation has been clarified.

Chalara dieback of ash, caused by the fungus Chalara fraxinea, was found in the

shortly be releasing interim results on tree health from the National Forest Inventory to help provide a picture of the overall health of ash trees across Britain.

“As we gather more evidence from surveys we will be able to develop our long-term strategy for dealing with this disease.”

As a precaution until the situation becomes clearer, the Commission is suspending the planting of ash trees in the public forests it manages, and Dr Morgan added, “Until we know the full situation, this is a sensible precaution to take against the possibility that young plants might pick up infection after they have been planted.”

Meanwhile, the deadline for submission of comments in a government consultation on a Pest Risk Analysis for C. fraxinea

falls this Friday, 26 October, and Dr Morgan said, “I encourage anyone who has not yet done so to study the analysis and submit their comments. I can give an assurance that all comments received will be considered in any policy decisions taken.”

If most of the comments received endorse the approach, the UK Government is expected to quickly pass legislation temporarily restricting imports and movements of ash plants into and within Great Britain to minimise the risk of further accidental introductions of the disease into areas which are currently disease-free.

Further information, including a pictorial guide to symptoms, is available at www.forestry.gov.uk/ chalara.

Perfect pumpkins GREAT news for witches, wizards, goblins and ghouls getting ready for Halloween – despite a difficult growing season nearly two million quality, orange pumpkins are ready for sale in the UK at Tesco.

It’s all down to the foresight of one of the country’s biggest pumpkin growers

who harvested his crop early and moved all his stock inside industrial-sized storage greenhouses before rainy weather hit the UK. Oakley Farms, based in Wisbech in Lincolnshire, who supply more than one and a half million of Tesco’s pumpkin crop, say that not only is quality good but they will have plenty to meet demand, which is expected to be up by 15 per cent compared with last year.

Tesco is the biggest seller of pumpkins in the UK, responsible for more than

a third of all the orange vegetables bought in the runup to Halloween.

Tesco pumpkin buyer Natasha Beagley said: “Demand for pumpkins has grown by 60 per cent in the last 6 years. During October, pumpkins always become one of the fastest selling of all vegetables but this year, because of reports of a bad season for some growers, we are seeing higher demand than normal and it’s happening earlier.”

Steve Whitworth, commercial director of

Oakley Farms, said: “Our past experience has taught us how inclement the British summer can be and for that reason we have invested in industrial glasshouses so that, once harvested, we can keep our pumpkins in perfect condition until they get taken to store.

“We plant early and then harvest in late August to make sure all the pumpkins are under cover before the colder autumn weather comes.”

Efforts stepped up to tackle disease of ash trees

UK for the first time earlier this year in young ash plants in nurseries and recently planted sites including a car park, a college campus, and a recently planted new woodland. Dr John Morgan, Head of the Forestry Commission’s Plant Health Service, said, “We and our colleagues in the Fera, the Scottish Government and the Northern Ireland Forest Service have stepped up our efforts to tackle this disease as a priority. This includes redeploying Forestry Commission staff from their usual duties to survey woods and forests in East Anglia and

26 October - 01 November 2012

throughout Great Britain.”

The cases of Chalara dieback outside recent planting sites in East Anglia were confirmed

by Fera scientists, and Dr Morgan said, “Scientists from our own Forest Research agency are also carrying out diagnostic tests on a number of other samples from established woodland trees in East Anglia with symptoms indicative of this disease, and we expect the results within a few days.

“It is still early days and investigations are continuing, but there is a possibility that the East Anglia outbreak is an isolated one which has been present for some time. This

emphasises the importance of preventing spread further afield.

“Although forest managers and tree professionals are well aware of what to look for, we are getting very few reports of problems with ash trees.

However, we would repeat our advice to use the information on our website, inspect their trees again, and report any suspect trees.

“The Commission already has a wealth of information about the distribution and health of Britain’s trees, and we will be doing more to visit woods with ash trees to assess their condition. As part of prioritising this disease, we will

DEAR CHRISTINE

from Robot, Los Cristianos answers your hair questions

Face up to it!

WHILE I was doing my five years of training, we were always taught to cut hair by asking the client what they wanted, and also by analysing their face shapes.

There’s no point giving someone a fabulous cut, only to find out that it doesn’t match her face shape.

So here’s my quick guide as to what you and your stylist should be looking for when having your hair cut.

Heart-shaped faces are quite lucky because they suit most styles. They are defined by a wider forehead and defined cheeks with a narrow chin.

This shape doesn’t suit fuller haircuts on top as it will accentuate the forehead too much.

And stay away from full fringes. Celebrities who have this shape are Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell.

Square-shaped faces are defined by a wide forehead, wide cheeks and a strong jaw-line - avoid long, straight hair and centre partings.

Soft, swept fringes take away the square look, but don’t add these to a short bob as you are just creating more straight lines, which serve only to emphasise the squareness. Celebs include Demi Moore and Angelina Jolie Oblong faces always look good with some sort of fringe because they are defined by high cheekbones and a high forehead. A narrow jaw-line

Page 40

can also be disguised by not having too much volume to the hair.

Whatever style you pick, just don’t have too much of it as this will draw attention to your face shape. Keep it shoulder-length or shorter. Celebs who share your face shape are Sarah Jessica Parker and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Round faces are seen to have fuller cheeks, a round jaw-line and a slim forehead.

You should avoid any cropped styles or heavy fringes because these will give the face more width. So go for deep partings and a swept fringe to narrow the face.

Try mixing different lengths as well, and avoid “turnedunder” styling. Celebs include Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz Oval faces are the best shape to have as they suit any style, more or less. They are defined by wide cheekbones and a smooth jaw-line, and having a narrow forehead also gives you so many styling options.

Lucky you!

You can find out your face shape by looking in the mirror and, while scraping your hair back, draw the outline of your face on the mirror with lipstick.

This will help you find your perfect hairstyle. I must tell you that there are always exceptions to these rules, and there are people who have more than one attribute to a face shape.

So make sure you consult your stylist, and ask him or her to help you find what’s best for you.

Your resident Agony Aunt Email: agony.aunt@canarianweekly.com Dear Christine, For years I tried to persuade my parents to come to live in Tenerife.

Well, they’ve finally said yes and put their house on the market.

My problem is that I’m not sure now that I want them here after all! I work fairly long hours and have a full social life.

I don’t know how I could possibly spend as much time with them as I’m sure they’d expect. I can’t tell them I’ve changed my mind, so what should I do?

Janet Oh dear, you didn’t think this through before you embarked on all that persuading, did you? But I’m sure the situation isn’t half as bad as you think.

Before your parents find a buyer for their house, why not suggest that they let it out for 6-12 months while they rent a property here to decide whether they really can enjoy Tenerife life.

If you’ve been in regular contact with them over the years, they’ll have an idea that your schedule is very busy, but it would be best to remind them of this, subtly.

When you are next in touch, which should be as soon as possible, say something like: “ I’m always busy during the week, but it would be lovely to see you on weekends.”

It strikes me, though, that you’re only looking at the downside of having your parents around. Try seeing the positives, too, as you must have done when you were attempting to persuade them.

When you’re feeling low

or unwell, your mum will probably come round to help out, or keep you company.

You won’t have to fly back to the UK when either of them is ill, or in trouble of some kind, and Tenerife will have more of a sense of “family” for you.

There are lots of bars here where ex-pats tend to gather, so your parents should quickly make friends and rely less on you.

So, the ball is in your court now, Janet. If you still feel you really don’t want them here, you must tell them kindly, but as soon as possible.

In the end, though, where your parents live is their choice and not yours.

Dear Christine On my 18th birthday last weekend, I went clubbing in Las Americas and had a bit to drink. I wasn’t drunk, just a bit merry. I started talking to this guy I only kind of know, and we started kissing.

We went somewhere private and I let him go further than I really wanted him to. Now I feel disgusted with myself and really hate him.

I know it could have been worse - I wouldn’t let him go all the way. But I’m worried that he’ll tell people and I’ll get a name.

I’m so ashamed and can’t face seeing him again.

K Knowing that you can get carried away when you’re a bit merry is a useful piece of information, isn’t it? You may have paid an emotional price to get this knowledge, but it can help keep you safe in future.

I’m sure you’ve already decided that from now on, you’ll either alternate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, or you’ll drink only in safe places such as your own home or in friends’ houses.

It’s also worth putting a bit of perspective on your lapse. There may have been hundreds of girls in Tenerife doing the same thing as you that night, and for much the same reason.

I expect many of them feel the same shame and determination not to let it happen again. On the other hand, there are plenty of bawdy, hard-drinking, hardpartying types rampaging the streets, who would laugh at the idea of feeling shame over what happened.

You haven’t risked pregnancy or a sexuallytransmitted disease; nor have you decided that you’ll have to love this guy now, which is extremely wise of you.

You don’t have to hate this lad or yourself, either, and so long as you don’t repeat your mistake, you’re hardly likely to have lost your reputation.

If you do bump into him again, it’s possible that he was too drunk at the time to remember what happened.

If he is childish enough to make a rude comment, you could always tut and roll your eyes, saying something like, “You wish”!

And, of course, make sure that you’re never alone with him again. Those feelings of shame will pass in time and one day, this will just be a memory.

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

Intensive-care survivors could face life of anxiety AROUND 55% of people who survive intensive-care treatment go on to develop psychological disorders which can affect their lives for years.

A study of 157 patients at University College Hospital, in London, found high levels of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

The Critical Care Journal reports that certain drugs, combined with stress in hospital, appeared to cause longer-term problems.

Specialists want to test reducing stress and altering drugs in intensive care, and Dr Dorothy Wade, a

psychologist from University College London, said: “The focus of intensive care is to save lives - to do whatever it takes.”

But she confirmed that it could be a traumatic experience for some patients. “Once they’re starting to wake up and become conscious, they can be in a terrified state,” she added.

“They think they’ve gone mad, or there’s a conspiracy to steal their organs, or to torture them.”

The study found that three months later, 55% of the 157 patients had some form of psychological problem: 27% had post-traumatic stress disorder, 46% had depression and 44% had anxiety.

The risk of developing

the disorders increased, depending on how long patients were sedated for, and the drugs they were taking, such as those used for controlling bloodpressure.

Patients with sleep deprivation, hallucinations and nightmares were also at risk.

Dr Wade said she was “really surprised” about the high numbers affected. She added: “As well as looking at modifying our drug treatments, we may need to invest more time in the psychological care of a patient,” she added.

“We may have to find ways to prevent psychological suffering in the intensivecare unit, which can affect the quality of their life in years to come.”

Watercress is a cheap and easy way to enjoy wrinkle-free skin

EATING watercress is so good for the skin because it leads to fewer blemishes and less visible pores.

Even better, it is a natural and cheaper alternative to costly moisturisers and facial treatments.

In a new study, female volunteers ate the leafy herb every day for four weeks, with 90% showing a difference in their skin.

More than 70% tested had positive changes in the texture of their skin - and remarkable changes in their wrinkles.

Almost half saw a reduction in their red, blotchy areas, while 81% noticed their pores

had become less noticeable.

Watercress is packed with vitamin C, A, and E, calcium and iron, which are all properties that can contribute to healthy skin.

Dr Steve Rothwell, of the Watercress Alliance, which commissioned the research, said: “Watercress is full of antioxidants such as vitamin A and lutein, called carotenoids.

“The women ate 80gm of watercress every day and made no other changes to their diet.

“A visual analysis was done before and after the study, which showed evidence that the watercress had improved their skin.”

He added that results proved so good when testing

mice that it led to this latest research, involving women volunteers.

Tom Amery, managing director of The Watercress Company in Dorset, sells about 40 tons of the vegetable a week.

“This September our sales went up by 15% and I think that is because people are becoming more aware of the health benefits of it,” he said.

Another supplier said demand for the herb rises every Christmas because it is popular for a New Year detox.

Watercress was renowned in herbal history as a springcleaning herb for purifying the blood and toning the whole system. Many of the great herbalists wrote of its revitalising powers.

Lay off the chips!

Expectant mums told to adandon starchy foods FEW of us can resist a plate of fresh, deepfried chips - but they could be harmful to unborn babies.

Expectant mums, who eat foods such as chips, crisps, biscuits and breakfast cereals, are more likely to produce babies with lower birth weights and smaller head circumferences.

These births have been linked to health problems early or later in life, such as delayed development of the brain and nervous system, type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

And it is all down to the nerve poison acrylamide, which, incredibly, is contained in all these foods and causes cancer in animals.

The shock finding comes from an international study of 1,100 pregnant women and newborns, led by Spain’s Centre for Research in Environmental Epidemiology, along with Stockholm University and 20 European research centres.

The study, published in the Environmental Health Perspectives journal, is the first to demonstrate a clear link between acrylamide in food and the health of new-born babies.

Acrylamide forms naturally in carbohydrate-rich, starchy foods when they are fried, baked, grilled, toasted or roasted at temperatures greater than 120c.

The diets of 186 mothers-tobe in Bradford were studied as part of this research, and the findings were alarming.

Their babies had the highest levels of acrylamide of all the five European centres studied, and almost twice the level of Danish babies.

Researchers say the largest source of acrylamide in the expectant Bradford women’s diet was chips.

“It was a big shock when scientists first discovered acrylamide in food in 2002,”

said Professor John Wright, a consultant in public health medicine at the Bradford Institute for Health Research.

“Our study now provides the most definitive scientific evidence yet that eating foods high in acrylamide during the critical pregnancy period can affect foetal health.”

The professor, who leads the Bradford component of the study, added: “Pregnant women need to be given more information about the risk from acrylamide. Our advice to them is to replace crisps and chips with vegetables and fruit.”

Acrylamide is better known for its industrial uses in plastic manufacture, as a component

of grouting and cigarette smoke, and as a sewage treatment.

Unfortunately, this poison also forms naturally in carbohydraterich, starchy foods, heated at high temperatures, as already mentioned.

Crisps and chips are the worst offenders, but crispbreads, many breakfast cereals, biscuits, coffee and bread also contain acrylamide - in lesser amounts, to be fair - as does burnt toast.

Although it is found in home-made foods, a group of international scientists studying the toxin for the European Union’s Heatox (HeatGenerated Food Toxicants) project, have concluded that the amount we eat in homecooked food is “relatively small, compared with industrially or restaurant-prepared foods”..

Worryingly, little is done to protect us from acrylamide in food. The European Chemicals Agency, which regulates the safety of chemicals in the European Union, has added the toxin to its list of substances of “very high concern”.

In the UK, the Food Standards Agency (FSA), charged with overseeing the safety of what we eat, does not advise people to stop eating, or even reduce their consumption of popular snacks and processed foods which may contain high levels.

“As long as people are following Department of Health advice about eating a healthy, balanced diet, the FSA do not advise that people should stop eating specific foods,” the agency say a statement

Then lightly whisk the eggs and extra yolk together in a large bowl.

Place the sugar, spices and the cream in a pan, bring to simmering point, giving it a whisk to mix everything together. Then pour it over the eggs and whisk it again briefly. Now add the pumpkin pureé, still whisking to combine everything.

Pour the filling into your pastry case and bake for 3540 minutes, by which time it will puff up round the edges but still feel slightly wobbly in the centre.

Remove the pie from the oven and place the tin on a wire cooling rack. Serve chilled (stored loosely covered in foil in the fridge) with some equally chilled créme fraïche, but warm or at room

temperature would be fine.

Marshmallow brownies Chunks of marshmallows make these brownies addictively good. Bake up a batch for Bonfire night.

Ingredients 240g/8oz butter 150g/5oz dark chocolate (a spicy one works well) 60g/2oz cocoa 150g/5oz plain flour 500g/1lb 2oz caster sugar 5 eggs, beaten 150g/5oz marshmallows, chopped Preparation method Heat the oven to 190C/375F/ Gas 5. Line a 30cm/12in square tin with baking parchment.

Mix the cocoa with the flour and the sugar and, off the heat, mix this mixture into the butter and chocolate.

Mix in the eggs and fold in the marshmallows.

Turn the brownie mixture into the tin and bake in the oven until the surface has set but still feels squidgy underneath. This will take about 20 minutes. Allow to cool and slice.

low speed, pour in the sugar syrup in a thin steady stream - be careful not to pour the syrup onto the beaters as it may splash onto your hands. Once all the syrup has been added increase the speed of the mixer and mix for about 10 minutes until the icing is completely cool, thick and glossy. Do not skimp on the whipping or your icing will be too soft and your ghosts will sag.

Place the icing into a piping bag fitted with a large plain nozzle. Pipe a circle of icing onto each cupcake. Then, holding the bag upright over the centre of the cake, pipe a tall mound of icing, then quickly pull the tip away to form a small peak on the top.

Add chocolate sugar strands for eyes or any decoration you fancy. The meringue icing will keep out of the fridge (the sugar syrup will have pasteurised the egg white), but make sure they don’t get too hot or the meringue will melt.

TripAdvisor reveals dazzling top wine getaways in Europe

TRIPADVISOR, the world’s largest travel site, has announced the European winners of its 2012 Travellers’ Choice Wine Destination awards.

Italy takes the top spot with Tuscany coming out as the number one Travellers’ Choice Wine Destination for Europe and Aquitaine in France is awarded second place. Both Italy and France are famous for their wine, food and fashion, and the two countries’ rivalries are evident here as they battle it out throughout the list. And, although France dominates the top 10 with five destinations, Italy still takes first, fourth and fifth positions respectively.

Spain’s Costa de la Luz, and Portugal’s Porto District also make an appearance in the top 10 taking the honours of ninth and tenth places respectively.

Despite wine production in England increasing over the last few years, it’s unfortunately not enough for an English wine producing region to make it into the European Top 10 wine destinations list this year.

Page 44

The top spots were honoured, based on millions of valuable traveller reviews and opinions on TripAdvisor and determined based on their popularity as wine destinations, taking into account travellers’ reviews and opinions for local wineries, restaurants, attractions and accommodations.

TripAdvisor spokesperson, Emma Shaw, said, “Italian and French destinations have dominated this year’s Travellers’ Choice Wine Destinations list, with classic wine-producing regions proving that not only do people love to drink their wine, but have a great time visiting the areas as well.”

In-flight Wi-Fi MANY travellers would chose WiFi over traditional inflight entertainment if airlines gave them the choice, latest research from Skyscanner reveals.

A survey asked 1,000 travellers about their ideal on-board entertainment.

Wi-Fi came out on top as only 37% would choose to use the airline’s in-flight entertainment system if WiFi was on offer. The ability to chat online to friends back home and keep their fingers on the pulse even at 35,000 feet is the key attraction of Wi-Fi access on planes – nearly two-thirds (60%) want to post on Facebook and Twitter as they fly.

Yet while passengers are keen to chat to their friends

back home, they aren’t willing to chat to other passengers: a quarter said they wouldn’t talk at all to any passengers to pass the time on a 12 hour flight.

While women are more likely to spend time chatting to passengers in adjacent

Visitor numbers in decline SEPTEMBER figures show that the Archipelago received 750,780 foreign visitors during the month, representing a slight decrease of 0.4 per cent over the same month in 2011, according to a survey

by Frontur, the tourism monitoring agency, which was prepared for the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism.

This trend is in stark contrast with mainland Spain, which saw a rise of 5.1 per cent last month, with a total of 6,238,366 international tourists. In the breakdown by community, the Canaries fell to fourth

place, preceded by Balearics with 1,620,904 arrivals and an increase of 9.5per cent; Catalonia 1,517,058 (+8.2%) and Andalusia, with 858,024 (+3.5%).

Although the UK market accounted for the most tourists coming to Spain in September, it showed a slight decrease of 0.6 per cent compared with the same month in 2011, with 1.6 million arrivals.

However, at the end of the third quarter of this year, there has been a rise of 1.1%, which translates into 11.2 million tourists from the United Kingdom, so it’s not all doom and gloom.

seats during a long flight, it’s men who’d be more likely to chat to friends over Skype while they travel.

If their airline offered WiFi, almost half (48%) said they would stream films or TV shows, giving them more control over what they watch in-flight, while 15% said they would use the chance to stay in touch with the office to work as they fly.

Emirates already offers its passengers in-flight Wi-Fi connectivity with their OnAir service, a move that more airlines look set to follow with JetBlue’s decision to launch free on-board Wi-Fi next year. However not all technical innovations would receive a warm welcome.

Given the option to use their mobile phone on-board, only 38% of people would do so, suggesting that passengers prefer the peace and quiet of a mobile-free zone.

While Wi-Fi was the most popular choice, the survey found that travellers still enjoy a good movie, or four, when flying long-haul.

Almost half (43%) spend a whopping four or more hours watching films and TV on a 12 hour flight.

The nation’s in-flight bookworms come from the North West, with the majority spending over two hours reading when they hit the skies.

Victoria Bailie at Skyscanner commented: “Traditionally we’d get on our flight, flick through the duty free brochure, choose a film, read a book or listen to music.

Now, with the increasing availability of new in-flight technology, travellers want to stay connected with the outside world, rather than switch off, as they fly.

“However, while there’s a strong demand for Wi-Fi, there is more resistance to the rise of in-flight mobile calls. While we want to stay connected, it seems the thought of sitting next to someone chatting away and shouting ‘I’m on a plane’, isn’t going to top our list of inflight entertainment anytime soon.”

ON THE ROAD WITH JAV Behind the Wheel

Vauxhall ready to cascade down in topless splendour VAUXHALL have released details and pictures of their new four-seater convertible, which will go on sale early next year.

It is in keeping with the company’s new-car blitz, which now adds up to four in less than 12 months.

And now that the Vauxhall Adam has made its debut, it’s time for the classy-looking Cascada to have the spotlight shining down on it.

The four-seater convertible takes its name from the Spanish word for waterfall, and it will be the most luxurious model in Vauxhall’s line-up.

Unlike the discontinued Astra TwinTop, the Cascada is a stand-alone model, which is

built on a combination of the Astra and Insignia platforms.

It’s the same width as an Astra GTC, and it fits in between the Astra and Insignia. It will reach UK showrooms next March, and will join the other new Vauxhall nameplates - Adam, Ampera and Mokka - in the company’s expanded port-folio.

Vauxhall are keen to point out that the Cascada is longer than an Audi A5 Cabriolet, although that car has a 320-litre boot with the roof down, amounting to 40 litres more than their own offering.

The canvas top can be opened in 17 seconds, at speeds of up to 30mph, by pressing a switch in the cabin, or via a button on the key fob. The roof comes with a choice of three colours, which contrasts with 10 exterior paint finishes.

The elegant, flowing creases aim to give the new drop-top an upmarket appearance, while the interior features high-quality, leather upholstery, as well as double-stitched, soft-touch materials on the dashboard.

In fact, as befitting the No1 status it will be accorded, the Cascada will become the flagship model of Vauxhall’s expanding range, and its premium interior will ooze sheer quality - even more so

than the Insignia, which is the current Vauxhall range-topper.

To compensate for the lack of a roof, the Cascada gets chassis strengthening that makes it 43% stiffer than the Astra TwinTop. And Pyrotechnic hoops pop up behind the rear seats should the car roll or airbags are deployed.

Engines include an all-new MGE 1.6-litre turbo petrol,which develops 168bhp and 280Nm of torque. Direct injection and stop-start improve CO2

emissions by 13% over the current 1.6T. The engine will be offered with a six-speed automatic box only. A 138bhp 1.4-litre petrol and 163bhp 2.0-litre diesel will also be available, with more powerful versions scheduled to follow.

In keeping with its flagship status, the Cascada will get HiPerStrut front suspension, which cuts torque steer, plus adaptive dampers and headlights, and a heated steering wheel. Duncan Aldred, Vauxhall’s chairman and managing director, said: “The full-size convertible sector tends to be occupied by very high-priced cars only, from premium manufacturers.

“With the Cascada, we’re offering customers high levels of equipment, technology and

luxury - but at an affordable price. Also available across the Cascada range is FlexRide, Vauxhall’s fully-adaptive chassis control system, which automatically adapts to suit driving style and prevailing road conditions, or can be overridden with one of three drivercontrolled modes.

The Cascada is set to significantly undercut the Cabriolet, which starts at £29,455, by costing from an estimated £25,000 in its entrylevel form.

Indeed, it will be the cheapest full-size convertible in the marketplace; it’s a class bigger than the Peugeot 308 CC, Volkswagen Eos and VW Golf cabriolet, and slightly larger still, and set to be significantly less expensive than the Volvo C70.

Now that’s what you call a golden-oldie!

A VINTAGE car, said to be the oldest Vauxhall motor in existence, is to be sold for the first time in more than a century.

Bidding is expected reach as much as £80,000 when the 1903, two-seater, 5hp

old-timer goes under the hammer in London next month, ahead of this year’s annual London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. Tim Schofield, of prestigious auctioneers Bonhams, said: “This is the first time in 108 years this historic landmark vehicle has been offered on the open market.“We believe it is the oldest surviving

Vauxhall, which makes it a very important motor car and a great addition to what is shaping up to be a fantastic auction at our flagship saleroom in early November.”

The car was ordered for Vauxhall managing director Percy Kidner in November 1903 and was passed on to its second owner the

following year. It has been kept ever since by the same family, who used it for everyday driving until about 1920.

It was kept in storage until 1948, before being loaned to The London Science Museum in 1955.

The car then completed the annual London to Brighton Run in 1956 in a respectable time of 3½ hours.

26 October - 01 November 2012

It was given a major refurbishment between 2001 and 2002 and has seen minimal use since that time.

It is building up to be a mind-boggling auction for vintage-car enthusiasts at Bonhams, in New Bond Street, central London, on Saturday week (2nd Nov).

Other historic motors in the sale include a 1904 Richard Brasier, 16hp,

four-seat side-entrance tonneau (estimate £220,000£300,000), a 1904 Wolseley 12hp twin-cylinder rearentrance tonneau (estimate £100,000-£150,000), and a 1904 Wilson-Pilcher 12/16hp four-seater.

The latter was built by the man who invented the tank and is expected to go for £180,000 to £220,000.

Knights have Hammers in a Jam-bo WHEN you walk around town with the words POOL CHAMPION plastered on the back of your football kit, you had better have the tools to back it up.

In fairness Jambo is a fine player, but he had a Knight, sorry, night, to forget on Tuesday.

The Phoenix bar boys have enjoyed their trips to the Palms Bar this season, and just a week after the Potters spanked Palms A, Phoenix Knights did the same to Tenerife Hammers A. Yet it started out so well for the hosts, who were 3-1 up early doors. Only Jambo lost in the opening ‘set’ and the Bubble Blowers were confident of another three-point haul.

But somehow, the wheels fell off. The Knights took the next six rubbers, all the points and, at 7-3, Jambo’s unwanted hat-trick was completed.

Meanwhile, in Los Abrigos, Phoenix Potters were pushed all the way by Tenerife Hammers C. They were 5-3 up and looking good, only for the Hammers to roar back.

Paul, Ken and OAP Bobby stunned the Potters, who needed Guv'nor Geoff to win the last frame and take a draw.

These two results have given Gaffers A the chance to slip the pack at the top. The leaders were given a pre-Halloween fright before edging past Toscales 7-5 to extend their advantage to seven points.

Palms A got back to winning ways as they won 8-4 at Terrace Bar A, who were not helped by some poor frames from Grumpy Mal.

At the bottom, Peacocks A and Terrace B shared the honours in Puerto Colon. Jean’s win over Carl proving vital

to the Terrace Bar cause. Well done girl!

And Inn The Pink celebrated their first win of the season in

a close one at home to Bar La Cana.

There was a classic encounter in La Caleta as the top

two in Division Two locked horns. James Bar raced into an amazing 3-0 lead over unbeaten Next Door, only for the leaders to roar back.

They took the next three frames and, when the dust settled, they stormed ahead 6-4. But James held his nerve to make it 6-5 and Jimmy brought the house down when he defeated Craig for a fair draw. The title will surely be between these two sides.

Palms B had a nice night at home against The Bluebell. winning 8-4 despite the Bossman Shai doing a Jambo!

The Full Monty boys were full of praise for the Treehouse, despite leaving Chayofa with just a point from the match with their B team, while it was all-square at Picasso’s as the Exiles B boys left with a draw.

And hat-tip of the week to Exiles A, who spanked Tenerife Pool Tables 11-1.

It’s raining goals for Noah CD Marino 4 Alcala 0 Guijuelo 0 CD Tenerife 0 IT’S nice to be able to start with CD Marino for a change and, hopefully, last Sunday's victory will be the springboard to some form of success.

Marino's first third-tier win in a generation was thoroughly deserved, and included a fine hat-trick from talisman Noah.

He struck twice in the first half, picked up the match ball after 54 minutes and could have still had a few more.

Sandro, the CD Tenerife loanee, got his first goal at this level to complete the rout and served notice of the Las Americas side’s intent.

They have been a little unlucky so far with the fixtures.

They have played five of the top seven, and they have a much easier run coming up.

Well, after this weekend’s trip to third-place Salamanca!

Manager Willy Barosso stressed the importance of the three points, saying: “We have that winning feeling again! We have deserved the win for the way we have worked and worked at it. It gives us a platform to move forward.”

Hopefully, this eye catching success will encourage a few more football fans to attend their next home match.

CD Tenerife have no such worries on that front, and the club expect over 10.000 to turn up to the Heliodoro this Sunday lunchtime as secondplace Aviles pitch up (kick-off 12 noon EXCLUSIVLEY live on Oasis Fm!).

CDT warmed up for the biggest match of the season with a more-than-acceptable point at Guijuelo.

Their horrible plastic pitch caused Tenerife a few problems, and the dismissal of Llorente was also a setback.

The likeable left-back has now seen red twice this season and has earned a threematch ban.

In a game of few chances, Tenerife will be pleased with the clean sheet and, of course, the new club record start to the season of nine games unbeaten.

The sides around them all suffered setbacks, making Sunday’s match even more important. A win would put some real distance and pressure on the chasing sides.

Salamanca are the other big fish in this pond and they are going nicely. They should win at home against CD Marino, so victory for Tenerife is vital.

Their opponents, Aviles, have been a revelation so far this season. They bounced back from an opening-day home defeat to put together some decent wins, but their start is a little deceiving.

They have played only four of the top 10, and their defeat at Atletico Madrid B (whom Tenerife smashed 4-0) is a better indicator of where they are.

Not many pundits expect them to be in the play-offs in June, but they are second on merit.

That said, they will be without a couple of their best players, and they will be praying striker Miguel passes a

26 October - 01 November 2012

fitness test because the lanky striker is a real threat in the air.

But Tenerife manager Alvaro Cervera has the lovely problem of trying to fit two into one. Chechu has been one of the best players this season, but he has missed the last two matches through injury.

Suso has come in and been Man of the Match in both games. It would be a major surprise if Cervers dropped Cristo Martin to accommodate both men, so who starts on Sunday?

This topic has been the main debate on local radio all week, and both men have strong cases. With Chechu, you have no risks and that touch of class, especially with the crosses. Suso, though, will run through a brick wall, deliver that little touch of pizazz and never stop trying.

But he brings a red-card warning and Aviles’ players will be under instruction to wind him up.

For me, possession is everything. Suso has been patient and has grabbed his chance.

Chechu must know do the same. If Suso is benched, it could set him back mentally and, maybe cause a problem with the boss (Suso has previous on this).

But it would also give the team stability and show Chechu he is the man. That is just what a confidence player like Chechu needs.

The central midfield debate is settled for the time being, with Medina and Ros in

those roles, while Tarantino has come back strong alongside Bruno over the last two matches.

Tarantino could slip into left-back to replace the suspended Llorente, and thus enable the patient Ayose

Position

to return at centre-half. The team sheet at 11am will be fascinating! Oh, and well done to the eagle-eye readers who picked out the U2 theme in last week’s column.

I wonder how many of you got all 11 song titles?

Horoscopes of the week Scorpio

(October 24th-November 22nd)

Arguments which the stars show are occurring can actually be more fun than pain. You should be able to win, too, if you are willing to listen to what the other party has to say. This is, in fact, quite a comical week as you are able to tie up matters which had you in a spin last week but now, will only have you reeling with laughter.

SAGIT TARIUS (November 23rdDecember 21st) A new person in the circle should be the key you need to take your career to the next level. Recognise opportunity - stand up for yourself and don’t be bullied by strong characters or attractive faces. Your need to see someone from your past could see you doing something really stupid, and it’s time to sit down and think about what you may be risking before it is too late.

C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) A flirtation which is slowly fizzling out will actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise. You have been rather overdoing it, so say what you feel and stick to your guns. It could very well lead to a very fulfilling weekend. Passion comes just when you least expect it, and three will most definitely be a crowd.

AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) Loved ones don’t seem to be happy with the changes they’ve made. Don’t get defensive and think that it is you they are not happy with.

They will soon tell you the source of their discontentment. You may have thought that a new work colleague newcomer was all talk, but the work that person does this week will demonstrate that he or she is all action.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) Don’t take what is given, but sit up and make the changes you want. You are in control of what you do and where you go, and your finances are even more

Page 48

favourable than they have been in weeks.

Your schedule is getting heavier not lighter, so plan a trip away, or even just a relaxing night out, so you can recharge those batteries ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) Items you buy now are relevant to where your commitments lie. The stars are giving others the impression that you are keeping a big secret because you are glowing from within - and showing the whole world what fun life can be. A sensitive spell midweek could see you misunderstanding the words of others, and a sense of humour will do much to save you from looking the fool.

TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) You don’t have the energy to complete a work project which you started recently. You can do whatever you set your mind to and it is only because of home pressures that you can’t seem to set your pace that suits you. Put home to one side and get the job done. There will be plenty of time to deal with personal issues when the week is done.

GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) Whether or not others feel as strongly for you as you do for them can only be discovered by laying your heart on the line. Don’t be frightened. Take your time.

Fun and seduction are written in your stars and are sure to make this a month you’ll look back upon with pleasure. But payments must be made if you are to have a clear mind.

CANCER (June 22ndJuly 23rd) Close ones are being a little too demanding with

your time- and with your money!

Have you ever thought about saying a big No to them? I know you don’t want to hurt them, but sometimes you have to let people,especially youngsters, know that life has its limitations. You could be making a rod for your own back if you are not careful.

LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Try to take your life a little slower.

You are making the same mistakes again and again because of the speed with which you are trying to complete things. No one will think you are any cleverer, and nor will they particularly notice that you were first to the finishing line.

Use the help that is on offer to gain insight into how to utilise the many skills you possess.

VIRGO (August 24thSeptember 23rd) I know that there do not seem to be enough hours in the day for you these days, and nor is there enough of you to go around at work. A lack of communication is evident, and you may want to call a meeting of some sort before your reputation begins to take a battering. Drunkards and fools cannot lie, so remember this when venturing out at the weekend.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) You will want to spend some time alone this week to sort out how you feel about recent events, but you may have to tell a white lie in order to do so. That’s because friends and family are all vying for your attention since they discovered your recent news.
