Lest we forget EXPATS in Tenerife will join millions of people in the UK and across the world in staging a two-minute silence this weekend, on Remembrance Sunday. The tradition began in 1919 following the Armistice at 11am on 11th November, 1918, at the end of the First World War. And this year, it falls perfectly - on Sunday - and it will attract even more support than usual because the Royal British Legion has launched a major campaign to extend the silence to the online community. Thousands of Facebook and Twitter users will be encouraged to observe it using Thunderclap, a new social media site, The British Legion is the first charity in the UK to employ Thunderclap, a US invention which allows users to issue a message simultaneously across social media channels. The Royal British Legion is asking people to go to its website at www.britishlegion. org.uk and click on the link to the Two Minute Silence Thunderclap page. Supporters can authorise their Twitter and Facebook accounts to send the tweet or message that reads “I’ll be remembering the fallen at 11 o’clock #2MinuteSilence #LestWeForget” at 9am on Sunday. When they sign up, their Twitter or Facebook feed will automatically display the message “I won’t forget to Remember on 11.11.11 Will you? #2MinuteSilence”. Remembrance messages can be shared by “liking” on Facebook. It is hoped that through retweets and online “liking” and sharing of the message, it will reach many more of the UK’s 10 million Twitter and 33 million Facebook users. Helen Hill, head of Remembrance at the charity,
said: “We hope to create the largest-ever show of online Remembrance by using the communicative power of social media. “We want to remind millions of Britons that they have a very personal opportunity to honour the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice.” Thunderclap is the first “crowdspeaking” platform that allows a charity or cause to produce a single message, which can be mass-shared simultaneously. It is the brainchild of New York studio De-De, and was developed with the aim of getting important messages to stand out above the babble of social media. Chief executive Hashem Bajwa said: “Twitter is a wonderful way to say something, but it’s difficult to be heard. Thunderclap lets people be heard by saying
something together.” More than 75% of the UK population are expected to observe Sunday’s silence with many also attending church services. Here in South Tenerife, hundreds will pay their respects at special Remembrance Day services throughout the area, including the “big” one at Westhaven Bay, which starts at 10.30am. This special British Legion event is always well attended and, because it is outdoors, everyone is advised to bring a sun hat and a bottle of water. The Island’s Royal British Legion has been distributing
boxes of poppies and collection tins throughout the South over the past few weeks. Last year’s collections totalled 11,694.97 euros and the hope is that it can at least be matched, despite these austere times which have affected so many people. Poppy Appeal organiser Kelly said: “We are aware of the current financial situation. “But we hope the response from the people on Tenerife will enable the Royal British Legion to continue its work in helping those exservice personnel and their dependents in need.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below
“Boxes have been distributed here for at least 14 years, and have always generated a very good response by the people. “And although there are only a couple of days to go before Sunday, there is still time to get your poppies.” For 90 years, the Royal British Legion has supported members of the Armed Forces Services, past and present, and spends nearly £1.4 million weekly on help for the less fortunate among them. A British Legion spokesman said: “This year, as always, British troops have been posted to some of the world’s most dangerous trouble spots, and they may need our help in the future.” The Royal British Legion, the most worthy of organisations, was formed on Sunday, 15th May 1921, from an amalgamation of four other
associations, with the express intention of helping exservice personnel and their dependents in need. Kelly added: “Wars throughout the ages have seen so many hurt and injured, and this is where we come in. “Any amount gets you a poppy, but please be as generous as possible, and wear your poppy with pride.” Remembrance Day Services Royal British Legion: Westhaven Bay, Costa del Silencio - 10.30am Anglican Chaplaincy: San Eugenio, Pueblo Canario, Las Americas - 10.15am Swedish Church, Los Cristianos - 10.30am Espiritu Santo, Los Gigantes - 6pm San Blas, Golf del Sur - 6pm South Tenerife Christian Fellowship: Apolo Centre, Los Cristianos - 10.50am.

BAKERY BURNS THE fire that broke out on Tuesday afternoon at a wholesale bakery, Ingapan, in the industrial area of Las Chafiras in Llano
del Camello, San Miguel de Abona, has left the building virtually burned to the ground.
Over 50 fire-fighters from San Miguel, Santa Cruz and La Laguna, supported by
volunteers from Granadilla, spent the night fighting the flames, which were visible from several kilometres away. The fire-fighting service dispatched 15 vehicles to the scene, including two automatic ladder crews, six pump engines and numerous support teams.
Fire-fighters worked at all times on controlling the perimeter of the fire, in order to prevent the flames from spreading to the adjacent buildings, however they were unable to prevent the fire from completely consuming the bakery, due to the large quantity
of highly flammable material inside. Fortunately there were no injuries, but the material losses were substantial. At the time the alarm was raised, about
17:15, several workers were evacuated. As for the cause, sources said that it was still early to determine.
New by-laws to tidy up local businesses in Arona THE new by-laws that will regulate the occupation of public spaces in Arona will focus on improving the appearance of commercial zones.

It's to create harmony on the streets and help to increase competitiveness in the sector, while ensuring the enjoyment of the common areas in the main shopping areas for all users, according to the Planning Department. The draft by-law includes, among other things, establishing a common ruling regarding the regulation of advertising and the use of the materials by businesses, “So that traders understand that the use of certain material is intended to create a uniform image within a narrow range of colours,” explained Arona’s Councillor for Town Planning, Carmelo Garcia. “A pedestrian street can gain a lot using the

Council has already met with the business communities to reach a consensus. Councillor Garcia considers that the existing regulations are now obsolete and need to be changed, “On a number of
issues, not so much technical or legal, but aesthetic,” he said, especially in the tourist areas. “To develop this project we have sought maximum transparency and citizen participation.”
In this regard, the Arona Association of Merchants led by Antonio Luis Gonzalez, agrees that the private use of public areas should be regulated and that the ruling should be defined as a unified document, due to the diverse range of shops, business and hospitality, to enhance the area as a quality destination. Regarding the management of tables and chairs on the paths, businesses generally are complying with the current ordinance, except for some specific cases. The new document states, “The rate for the occupation will not be measured in terms of the number of tables and chairs outside, but by the space that is occupied,” said the Councillor. “Our idea is to maintain the occupancy issue in the public domain, but in the case of disciplinary action, yes, it is going to be pretty hard for those that breach the rules,” said Carmelo Garcia. Fines
for extending beyond the authorised public space will range between 1,500 and 3,000 euros, and authorisation could be removed. An entrepreneur who wants to start a business will be allowed to do so without having a license to open in hand, provided that the documentation has been submitted with the “statement of responsibility”. This is valid while processing the license and it is hoped that this will remove some of the difficulties in opening a new business. For years, Arona has wanted to regulate the billboards that are at the entrance to Los Cristianos, but so far nothing has changed. They have long have been the subject of complaints, creating an undesirable image, many say and some of them have no municipal authorisation for use. In this regard, Garcia said next year the Council will bring in an ordinance specific to this type of advertising.

Spain’s pioneering gay marriage law to stand SPAIN’S highest court has just upheld the existing gay marriage law, rejecting an appeal lodged by the ruling People’s Party seven years ago and confirming the legality of same-sex unions. By the end of last year, more than 21,000 same-sex couples had tied the knot, since Spain became the fourth country in the world to legalise gay marriage in July 2005. Eight of the Constitutional Court’s 11 judges voted in favour of the law, the court said in a statement, adding that the full ruling will be published shortly. Justice Minister Alberto Ruiz-Gallardon said the government would respect the decision and leave the law as it stands. “We’re very, very pleased and particularly that the decision so decisive, at eight to three,” Jesus Generelo, general secretary of the National Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Transsexuals and Bisexuals (FELGTB), said. “I think it is clear that gay marriage is now a part of our society.” The law, introduced by
Conservative and Catholic groups criticised this latest court ruling. The Family Forum, which organised protests against same-sex marriage, demanded the government repeal the law. “If the PP hides behind this sentence to now accept the Zapatero law, it will be reneging on the public commitments it made in 2004 and 2005 and failing to defend the ideas of its core supporters in a politically cowardly way,” it said. Another conservative group, Hazteoir.org, said, “Making marriage the same as other types of union is a direct attack on the Spanish family”. “This equal status, as well as
the promotion of divorce, will cause damage to society in the short-term,” the group’s head, Ignacio Arsuaga, said. Spain’s law was seen as pioneering by gay rights campaigners since it gave same-sex couples the same rights as heterosexuals, including the option of adopting children. Many analysts thought it would be difficult for the government of conservative Mariano Rajoy to reverse the law, which would have left gay families in legal limbo. Although some PP mayors have defied the law, refusing to marry gay couples, others support it, including Justice Minister Gallardon when he served as mayor of Madrid.
Arona Mayor remains in post AT a special sitting of the Arona Town Council, 12 Coalicion Canaria, (CC,) Councillors and two from Centro de Arona, (the Mayor was absent,) approved the declaration of compatibility for Jose Alberto Gonzalez Reveron to continue serving in public office as Mayor of Arona. The PSOE, PP and CxA were absent. Therefore, the CC Mayor remains in place even though he has been sentenced to four and a half years of disqualification; even though the city clerk reported that the Mayor should be dismissed and even though the Central Electoral Board considered that his
Page 4
the former government of Socialist Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, was challenged in court by the People’s Party (PP). Hundreds of thousands of people marched in the streets during the Zapatero years against Socialist laws permitting gay marriage and liberalising abortion, but surveys have shown a majority of Spaniards support allowing same-sex couples equal marriage rights with heterosexual couples. The Roman Catholic Church also strongly opposed the law and priests were active in calling on people to support the anti-same-sex protests during the Zapatero years.
dismissal is required by law. To counter this, the municipal government (formed by the CC with an absolute majority,) commissioned two reports. One, by a professor of constitutional law at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and another from lawyer, Rolando Rodriguez. The two experts concluded that Reveron’s dismissal is, “the exclusive competence of the Criminal Court that issued it. He was convicted in Criminal Court, not by a political party so no political party can force him to go until the courts enforce the judgement.” The Mayor was convicted of the illegal recruitment of two women workers at the Town Hall and has appealed the decision. Gonzalez Reveron said the aim of the meeting was to, “end the situation of unrest, uncertainty and doubt and to roundly settle this and put an end to it”.

Spanish golf events fail to make the cut
A word from our editor Email: editor@canarianweekly.com
World Travel Market
SPANISH Golf Federation president Gonzaga Escauriaza says it is "a great pity" that the country will host just one European Tour event next year, compared to a total of seven in 2011. Spain was the jewel in the tour's crown two years ago but the economic crisis has had a profound effect on top-level golf with sponsors disappearing and prize funds being withdrawn. The Andalucia Open, Mallorca Open, Castello Masters in Valencia, Madrid Masters and Andalucia Masters have all fallen by the wayside while the World Match Play Championship will shift to Bulgaria next year - leaving the Spanish Open to fly the flag on its
own in April. "We are going through a big crisis in this country and we have to work very hard in order to keep the game going," Escauriaza said. "It's a great pity because for so many years Spain staged six or seven events. It's going to be difficult to recover this situation in the future." Escauriaza, who has been federation president since December 2008, said the biggest disappointment was the loss of the Andalucia Masters at Valderrama, a tournament won by Sergio Garcia in 2011. The Sotogrande course staged the Ryder Cup in 1997, when captain Seve Ballesteros led Europe to victory, and also used to be the traditional venue for the end-of-season Volvo Masters before it was usurped by the Dubai World Championship from 2009. "The saddest loss is Valderrama," said Escauriaza. "That
was a big event, it was like a meeting place for the top golfers in Europe and it had a lot of history. We are trying hard to bring that one back in the future but the one in Mallorca is finished and Valencia is a hopeless cause as they are really suffering from the economic crisis there. "As for the Andalucia Open we spoke last week to (former promoter) Miguel Angel Jimenez. He is trying hard to get some sponsors back but it's difficult there too." Escauriaza said Spanish golf's woes were symptomatic of the widespread golfing problems on the continent. "Spain is not the only country suffering financially. Portugal and Italy are also having a hard time and the tour can find much more money in South Korea, China, Malaysia - all over Asia. "The tour is getting more and more of a presence in
Asia than in Europe where countries are lowering prize money, losing sponsors and some of the tournaments are disappearing. Some of the fields we are getting in the lesser events in Europe are quite poor now compared to U.S. PGA Tour standards." Europe's elite players are competing more and more on the U.S. circuit including world number one Rory McIlroy, third-ranked Luke Donald, number four Lee Westwood and fifth-ranked Justin Rose. "A lot of the players feel the fields are better in America, the prize money is bigger and of course there are more world ranking points on offer," said Escauriaza. "Once this financial crisis is over it would be good to get more events in European countries again. We don't know when that might be but we've got to stay hopeful."
More delays to flu campaign THE Canary Islands will not have the flu vaccines until at least this weekend, the Ministry of Health has just announced in a press conference, adding that they are also considering taking legal action against the supplier. The executive responsible believes that the vaccination campaign can not be restarted until Tuesday or Wednesday, November 13th
09 November - 15 November 2012
and 14th. The reason for the delay is that the supplier wants to send the vaccines by boat. In late October, the director general of the Canary Islands Health Service, Juana Maria Reyes, along with the Chief of Epidemiology at the Public Health Directorate, Domingo Nunez, announced the withdrawal of the batch of vaccines ready for the usual campaign, after a warning was issued by the Spanish pharmaceutical Medicines Agency, due to the presence of a floating white substance in the prefilled syringes, in some lots of the vaccine.
Photo: Total Travel Tenerife THE annual World Travel Market, which takes place in London, is now drawing to a close as we go to print. The Canaries and Tenerife were in attendance and used the event to make a number of major announcements. Paulino Rivero, President of the Canary Islands Government, announced a massive plan for jobs and growth for the Canary Islands, with which he hopes to relaunch the competitiveness of the tourism sector in the Canaries. Closer to home, Carlos Alonso, Tenerife Tourism Minister said: “The World Travel Market in London was very positive for the island.” Tenerife can expect a 1% increase in the current winter season and a 3% increase for summer 2013 in British visitors alone. He continued: “Forecasts show that the Island could end the year with the equivalent figures as last year, and next year could exceed the ceiling of 1.6 million tourists from the United Kingdom.” The increases are, in part, through increased connectivity; one big announcement was the confirmation of British Airways (BA) launching a new, direct service between London Gatwick and Tenerife next summer. BA plans to operate a fivetimes weekly service on the new Tenerife route from 31st,March 2013, competing directly with easyJet, Monarch Airlines, Norwegian, Thomas Cook Airlines and Thomson Airways. It will also introduce a twiceweekly link from London
Gatwick to Arrecife, Lanzarote in next summer’s schedule. Although there are already more than 29,000 seats available some months on the route, rising to 46,000 when you factor in alternative flights from other London airports, this represents a major development for the Canary Islands as a destination because it introduces a new network link to the UK capital. Carlos Alonso Rodriguez, Cabildo Vice President, outlined just what the new service brings to the destination. “We are delighted that British Airways has chosen to launch a new five-times weekly link to directly connect London Gatwick with Tenerife South for summer 2013,” he said. “This will allow us to capture an important premium niche market as BA will be the first operator on the route to offer a full Business Class service.” This represents the return of the BA brand to the Tenerife market. The UK national carrier previously served the island between October 2000 and March 2008 through its then franchise partner GB Airways. Alongside flights from London Gatwick, the carrier had non-stop links to Tenerife from Bristol, East Midlands and Manchester. The opening of reservations on the route by BA this week,, and the formal announcement of the new route at the World Travel Market, in London, marks the conclusion of a period of hard work by the Tenerife and Canary Islands authorities.

Bankruptcy on the up THE number of individuals and businesses declaring bankruptcy has risen by 16.5% more in the third quarter of this year, compared with the same 2011 period. The most affected areas are in real estate and trade, which make up 58.3% of the total.
UFO spied over here A LIVE webcam from Mount Teide Volcano Observatory captured a discshaped unidentified flying object recently. Although Mount Teide has been a UFO hotspot over the years, this record is a completely unexpected result from the Observatory researchers, as this webcam is set up to monitor volcanic activities only. The video, posted in UFO Sightings Daily on 30th October, captured a clear image of the UFO flying across the mountain. The video recording was started on 26th October at 8am and ended 24 hours later. At around 3am on the 27th, it looked like the usual morning. But 35 minutes later, from the bottom side of Mount Teide, a disk-shaped object suddenly appeared, gently floating upwards. The camera captured the object for about one hour, before it went out of the still-camera frame.
Traffic accidents down THE economic crisis has cut the number of traffic-accident deaths in Spain, which are down 10% so far this year. A need for the public to save money on petrol, and the fear of higher fines, appears to have made an impact on their driving habits. The number of journeys taken is also down, between 3% and 4% according to the DGT traffic authority, which also says the economic difficulty is leading some drivers to service their cars less often.
Non-assisted beach protest DISABLED visitors to the Las Vistas beach in Los Cristianos, hoping to use the assisted-bathing service, have been disappointed over the past few days.
www.canarianweekly.com A WAVE of Spanish property developers are set to go bust as the country’s “bad bank” starts a real estate sell-off that forces lenders to face up to the severity of the country’s property crash. Thin trading in real estate since 2008 has masked the extent of the property crash, meaning lenders have been able to refinance loans to keep developers afloat and give their own balance sheets a relatively healthy sheen. But reality will hit when the bad bank, which is about to absorb toxic loans and related property to clean up the banking system, starts to sell its haul and finds that investors show little interest, or demand steeper discounts than those on offer, real estate experts say. A poor response would trigger a wider fall in property values and sharply reduce the value of the assets on developers’ already fragile balance sheets. “The formation of the bad bank can only help banks and only harm developers,” said Humphrey White, head of investment at property consultant Knight Frank in Spain. “Many have been propped up by false valuations, and this may be a much-needed price correction rather than a slow death.” Further casualties would follow last month’s announcement by Reyal
Propped-up developers going bust! Urbis, one of the country’s biggest developers, that it was in talks with lenders over four billion euros of debt and may need to seek creditor protection. It followed a move by Spanish investors in French property company Gecina to file for bankruptcy after a bank refused to refinance a 1.6 billion euro loan, one of the biggest bankruptcy actions in Spanish history. During the third quarter, 1,466 companies went into administration in Spain, up 22 per cent from the same period a year ago, official data shows. Thirty per cent of the companies that went into administration were in the construction or real estate sector. More than half of all Spanish developers could be in danger, given how much land and unfinished projects many of them are sitting on, said Rafael Powley, a Madridbased director of strategic consulting at property
consultant Jones Lang LaSalle. “Banks have refinanced developers for four or five years, but there will be little incentive now to keep them alive. At some point there has to be an end to this story.” Spain is setting up the bad bank, known by the acronym SAREB, to take up to 90 billion euros of toxic real estate assets out of the banking system and sell them at deep discounts over 15 years. It is due to start operating by the end of the month. Together with Ireland, Spain has suffered Europe’s most severe property crash, leaving its banks with 184 billion euros of bad real estate debt and half-built developments around the country. Though banks have already written off billions of euros of bad debt, the crash has put Spain centre-stage in the euro zone debt crisis as investors believe a high budget deficit, soaring state debts, and deepening economic contraction will
force Madrid to seek more external help. SAREB will struggle to find buyers for about two-thirds of the assets because they relate to empty land or unfinished developments. Investing in such sites means spending money to start, demolish or complete schemes without any guarantee of selling them or finding tenants. With Spain in recession and a glut of property built up during the boom years, few have the stomach for such investment. Prices for commercial and residential Spanish property have fallen by between 30 and 80 per cent since the bubble burst, depending on type and location, but could fall by another 10 per cent, while most land will have no value in the short term. Some of the world’s largest real estate funds including Deutsche Bank’s RREEF property arm have previously expressed an interest in buying Spanish property but said prices still had some way to fall.
Work moving along on Los Menores road COUNCILLORS for Works and Planning, Gonzalo Delgado Díaz and
José María Álvarez Acosta, respectively, visited the road works being carried out on TF 583, along the stretch between Los Menores and Taucho. Pedestrian sidewalks are being installed along the road in response to a lawsuit that was brought by the residents of the neighbourhood.
Both councillors agreed and said, “With this action we are providing a solution to the need that has been so clearly expressed by local residents, to improve accessibility and provide a sidewalk for pedestrians to walk safely”. The work was launched thanks to a collaboration agreement signed with
the Municipality of Adeje’s Employment Service, which has provided jobs for 18 unemployed people in the municipality. The footpath will run about 1,200 meters by two meters wide. Work began on October 1st and while expected to be completed soon, no estimated date was given.
One disgruntled user said:“It is completely unacceptable that the adapted service on the beach there has been suspended. “No one understands a decision of this kind, because it directly affects those of us who like to enjoy the sea and need help because of our lack of mobility.” They claim that the service has been suspended because workers remain unpaid, but this is unconfirmed. The protesters are calling the situation “intolerable”, particularly in a tourist destination which has been characterised by accessibility and has even received awards for it. They are urging Arona Town Council to take whatever steps are necessary for its immediate restoration.

Mortgage help SPAIN’S conservative government and the main opposition Socialists have agreed to devise and adopt urgent measures to deal with a growing wave of mortgage foreclosures. Once decided on, the plan could take the form of a royal decree or a bill submitted to Parliament, Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria and Socialist Elena Valenciano said in separate statements. Six experts - three named by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's administration and three appointed by the opposition - will begin negotiations next week in pursuit of a consensus on ways to
help families remain in their homes, the leaders said. Valenciano and Saenz de Santamaria will oversee the work of the experts’ group. Foreclosures and evictions are soaring amid a jobless rate of more than 25 per cent and the fallout from the collapse of a long-building housing bubble that left many Spanish banks saddled with toxic assets and created an overhang of unsold homes. Regulations enacted in March by the Rajoy government include a banking Code of Good Practices aimed at eliminating abuses of mortgage-holders. During the second quarter, Spanish courts received 18,886 requests from lenders to boot delinquent borrowers from their homes and issued 29,275 eviction orders.

respectively, President of the Interinsular Automobile Federation of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Benito Rodriguez, representative of the Royal Spanish Automobile Federation, Manoli Gimeno, and president of Scuderia Barlia Motor Sport, Francisco Morales. Minister Perez highlighted the work that has been done by Benito Rodriguez, “The person who, from the beginning, defended the need for these tests in Tenerife in the National
Mountain competitions. It was not easy to get, and we have seen that two tests have not come about for economic and organisational reasons. “The Cabildo, through the area of Sports and Tourism of Tenerife, is making an extraordinary effort for the Island to be the epicentre of the National Mountain competitions this year”. The Tamaimo Subida has a 5.5 kilometres route and its special features, with an average gradient of 6.5%,
make it a legendary event for both drivers and fans. The race will be held on the TF-47 and TF-454 that connects the towns of Los Gigantes and Tamaimo. The official training session will take place on tomorrow, starting at 12.30, and the first race starts at 16.30. Sunday will begin with training (9.00), while the two remaining stages should start at 10.30 and 12.30. The awards ceremony will take place at 14.00 in the Puerto Santiago square.

De Cotta Law’s Open Day Show
Wi-fi for Hotel Tecina THE Synergy Company 3 (SD3), the Canarian leader in implementing wire-
less networks for the tourism sector, has undertaken an ambitious techno-
logical development in a wifi network, by making more than 70,000sqm available
to the hotel Tecina, located in Playa Santiago, La Gomera, and allowing a 100% coverage, with high intensity in most areas. This facility has an innovative wireless networking technology that allows comprehensive coverage with optimal levels of quality, safety and reliability and minimises the cost of implementation and the visual impact. Synergy 3 has already conducted similar developments over ten large hotels in the Canary Islands, which ranks as the pioneer in this type of wireless technology applied to the tourism sector, in which the coverage, quality, intensity and network security is vital for hotel customers that will make use of this service. The wifi setup project in Playa Jardín Tecina Santiago initially had difficulty offering wireless communication over a large space that is mostly gardens and a coastal cliff. However, the solution that distributes and implements SD3, and the extensive experience of the company, has allowed them to circumvent these problems and introduce wifi in all public areas and guest rooms, allowing the hotel to offer an Internet connection service to customers with the highest safety and quality.

Please Take Me Out on a Horse Riding Adventure! BACK in September, the producers of ITV’s Saturdaynight hit show Take Me Out, contacted Tenerife’s family-run stables Horse Riding Adventures. The producers wanted to do some filming with a couple from the show, and the following day the winners spent most of their time with Jim and Sara Chew, and their
two children, Sophie and Joshua Chew. They were Ruth, who used to jump for England when she was younger, and Charles, who enjoys horseriding. Jim said: “We decided to let Ruth ride Sophie’s showjumping horse Sol, who has won the last seven out of 10 competitions, while Charles rode Mio, one of our best school-and-hacking horses.” The day went so successfully that the producers came back the next week to film
with another couple. You can see Ruth and Charles, tomorrow (Saturday), on ITV1 at 7pm, and the other couple at a later date. Horse Riding Adventures is situated in Aldea Blanca and is a familyrun stables with Jim and Sara, and the two children. They have lived in Tenerife for eight years and, in 2010, they took over a run-down farm. “We have been making improvements ever since,” said Jim. “When we first started, we had only three
horses, and then we bought 12 more to get the business going. It is now so successful that we have 24 horses - and we are still growing.” He added: “We have lessons in our two large arenas and we take hacks out into the beautiful countryside

surrounding our stables, with locals and tourists every day, seven days a week. “We have pony rides for small children for only five euros, and we run a famous Pony Club every Saturday morning from 10.30am12.30pm, teaching everything
there is to know about horses and ponies. We also offer a livery service, looking after private horses at a very competitive price”. For more details of Horse Riding Adventures, contact www.horseridingintenerife. com

Tax amnesty A RECENT meeting of the Spanish Association of Tax Advisors, (AEDAF,) with officials from the Tax Agency (AETA,) was held to clear up doubts about an amnesty for tax dodgers introduced by the government. The amnesty offers the holders of black-market money or assets to declare them without prosecution, paying only 10 per cent of their value. The government is hoping to take in 2.5 billion euros from the measure, which is in place only until the end of November. Tax advisors are asking AETA for more time because of what they claim are uncertainties in a process they describe as confusing. Some are having problems dismantling the complex business arrangements they designed to hide blackmarket money away from the prying eyes of the AETA to tax havens overseas. Others have doubts about what part of their clients’ income comes under the umbrella of the statute of limitations and what might still be liable for tax. However, the tax agency has refused to extend the deadline for the amnesty. “If
the amnesty is successful, it will be more out of fear of the law against fraud than out of conviction. But you end up doing what the client asks you to do,” one participant at the meeting said. The law against fraud came into effect in early November. When the government approved the amnesty it argued that it was necessary to try to balance the books of the public administrations as the massive public deficits arose because of insufficient revenues to cover spending. Tax revenues have plunged since 2008 and while the government has cut spending, this has been offset by higher outlays on pensions and unemployment benefits. “The fiscal crisis in Spain is a crisis of revenues,” explains José Ignacio Conde-Ruiz, a deputy director of the economic think-tank Fedea. Conde-Ruiz says this needs to be addressed by means of a “radical and profound” reform of the tax system. He points to the fact that public revenues have fallen by the equivalent of six per cent of GDP since 2007, while in the European Union they have been steady. In France,
they have increased by 0.8 percentage points, by a full point in Germany and by 0.1 points in Italy. “There has been a fall in revenues from the real estate sector, an unprecedented drop in corporate tax collections and an increase in tax fraud,” says Francisco de la Torre, the secretary of the association of tax inspectors (IHE). While the association is unable to come up with a figure for the scale of the black economy, they have asked for more resources to fight against it. Inspectors point out that Spain sets aside 80 percent less than Germany for such efforts, 67 percent less than France and half of what Italy does. Conde-Ruiz believes that if the size of the black economy were reduced to the level of Spain’s neighbours, tax income would increase by two per cent of GDP, some 20 billion euros. Fedea proposes that tax relief on such items as private pension plans could increase revenues by some 9.2 billion euros. It also advocates reducing the top personal income tax bracket from
52 per cent to 40 per cent, arguing that although the state would lose one billion euros in revenues, it would attract wealth to Spain in the longer run. “We’re looking at a fall in tax revenues at all levels of the administration,” De la Torre says, arguing that a shift in the economic model toward exports and ongoing de-leveraging by the private sector will hit revenues. It was this that prompted the administration to accept the political costs of approving the amnesty, which has only taken in 50 million euros, according to the latest figures from the Tax Agency. The new law against fraud among other measures limits operations in cash to 2,500 euros and obliges taxpayers to declare assets they hold abroad. The government is also drawing up legislation that will crack down harder on fraud, with jail terms of up to six years. On the spending side, the government could undertake an overhaul of the structures of the state to cut back on outlays, but that is another story.

the fair will be open from 11am to 9pm with an entry fee of 3.50 euros. The show was created to facilitate the reduction of stocks, the turnover of products and promote the sale of excess stock and
has become one of the busiest events of the season, with discount prices on everything. At the fair you will find all kinds of products: textiles, accessories, footwear, appliances, toys, decoration, furni-
ture, cars for sale and more. This year there will also be on offer “low cost services” such as hairdressing, beauty, massage, as well as a playground and recreation area with live music, dancing and a fashion show.
The weather warning lifted THE Canary Islands Directorate General for Security and Emergencies has ended the rain alert in Tenerife based on the weather forecast from the Meteorological Agency (AEMET). The rains have been particularly heavy in the north of the island, especially in Puerto de la Cruz, where
122 litres per square meter fell, causing flooding in the Plaza del Charco and several private homes. Throughout Thursday morning there were long delays on the TF-5 due to a fallen tree and some landslides at El Sauzal, forcing vehicles into a single lane. The TF-31 in the Martiánez area (Puerto de la Cruz) and TF-235 up to the Bunker café in Tacoronte was closed and in some districts of Anaga there had been minor flooding and landslides.
A bright future for abandoned pit bull THE dog found recently in the area of La Salle in Santa Cruz, locked in a suitcase inside a bin and left to die, will be transferred to an association located in Tarragona, Tarracosbull, which specialises in rehabilitating potentially dangerous breeds like pit bulls. The female will be helped to overcome the consequences of everything that has happened to her, so she can be adopted and have a safe and loving home. Her previous owner, S. M. J., was questioned at the local police station on the facts and circumstances of the incident, and has been charged with an alleged crime of animal abuse. It is now in the hands of the courts. Article 337 of the Penal Code says, “Those who, by any means or process, unjustifiably mistreat a pet or tame animal, causing death or injury that severely damages their health, shall be punished with imprisonment from three months to one year in prison and disqualification of one to three years for possession of pets or tame animals.” However, the Penal Code is undergoing reform and is studying precisely whether to change or add some
paragraphs to Article 337. These include the obligation to impose the penalty of between six and 12 months in prison for cruelty. In addition, the new law would also make it an offence to abandon animals. In September, the head of the Criminal Court Number Three of Santa Cruz de Tenerife issued a landmark judgment, where, for the first time in the Canary Islands in a case of animal abuse, the Güímar resident was sentenced to three months in jail and a fine of 6,000 euros. For now the pit bull is recovering amazingly well in the refugee, Albergue Comarcal de Valle Colino. According to reports from their Facebook page, “She is recovering well from her injuries and despite the traumatic experience, we can assure the public that she still relies on and trusts humans, she wags her tail when we go to see her and lets us treat her wounds willingly.” The case of this pit bull has had a wide impact. Thanks to social networks and associations of animal advocates, the day after she was found Valle Colino received dozens of calls inquiring about her status and the possibility of adoption.

'This happened because of you... Thank you!' PRESIDENT Barack Obama used fewer than 140 characters on Twitter to proclaim himself the winner over Republican candidate Mitt Romney in the US presidential election. The fact that he tweeted this message before going on stage in Chicago highlights the tremendous role social media platforms like Twitter played in the 2012 election. “We’re all in this together. That’s how we campaigned, and that’s who we are. Thank you. -bo.” Through the course of a long and bitter presidential campaign, Twitter often served as the new first rough draft of history. Top campaign aides used the Internet tool to snipe at each other, the candidates used it to get out
their messages and political reporters used it to inform and entertain. On Election night there were more than 31 million election-related tweets making it “the most tweeted about e v e n t in U.S. political h i s tory,” said
09 November - 15 November 2012
Twitter spokeswoman Rachael Horwitz.Between 6 p.m. and midnight EST, there were more than 23 million tweets. Horwitz noted the previous record was 10 million, during the first presidential debate on October 3. “Twitter brought people closer to almost every aspect of the election this year,” Horwitz said. “From breaking news, to sharing the exp e r i e n ce of watching the debates, to interacting directly with the candidates, Twitter became a kind of nationwide caucus.” In the moments fol-
lowing Obama’s win, Twitter was in a frenzy, with a peak of 327,000 tweets a minute. Another tweet from Obama, one that read: “Four more years” and showed a picture of him hugging his wife, became the most retweeted tweet in the history of the site. Love it or hate it, Twitter and its role in politics appears to be here to stay. The 2012 race was the first where Twitter played such an important role. With many political reporters and campaign staff on Twitter and Facebook, social media websites were often the first place news broke. Some top news stories were kept alive or thrust into the headlines after becoming hot topics on Twitter. Twitter was the driving force behind some of the year’s biggest political news stories.

Working women are still lagging pounds behind on wages scale Asda fuel cuts prompt rivals to follow suit WHERE Asda leads … the UK supermarket’s 2p reduction in fuel prices was swiftly countered by Sainsbury’s and Tesco following suit, Asda now charges 137.7p for a litre of diesel and 131.7p for unleaded petrol on its British forecourts. Edmund King, president of roadside recovery group AA, said: “Once again the supermarkets have led the way. We have said there is scope for price cuts, given wholesale price falls, we and welcome the move. I just hope all the other retailers follow.” Mr King said many people were cutting back on the number of car journeys they made because of high fuel
costs. “This reduction will go a little way towards helping families and businesses keep mobile,” he added. Asda petrol trading director Andy Peake said his company was “leading the way”, adding: “Unlike other retailers, our price cuts benefit everyone across the country. “That means no one filling up at Asda will be forced to play a postcode lottery.” A Tesco spokesman said: “As Britain’s biggest petrol retailer, with 490 forecourts, more motorists will make savings at the pumps at Tesco than at any other fuel retailer.” Richard Crampton, Sainsbury’s head of fuel, said: “We know this can be an expensive time of year, so we’re delighted to announce that we will be lowering our fuel prices.”
Archbishop of Canterbury post goes to Bishop Welby THE Bishop of Durham has been appointed Archbishop of Canterbury as successor to Dr Rowan Williams, according to reports. Sources say the Rt Rev Justin Welby’s position will be announced today (Friday) after the Crown Nominations Commission put his name forward to Downing Street. The news came just hours after it was revealed that the 56-year-old would not make a scheduled appearance on today’s recording of BBC Radio 4’s Any Questions. Leading bookmakers William Hill and Ladbrokes also fuelled speculation about the appointment by announcing that they had closed their books on betting, following a rush of bets on Bishop Welby. The reported confirmation of the Rt Rev Welby’s appointment as 105th Archbishop of Canterbury is seen as a meteoric rise in the
Page 14
career of the clergyman, who will have been enthroned as Bishop of Durham just a year ago this month. The Eton-educated bishop worked in the oil industry for 11 years before leaving to train for the Anglican priesthood. He was first ordained as a deacon in 1992. A Lambeth Palace spokeswoman would not comment, and a Downing Street spokesman refused to confirm or deny the appointment. Several other senior Church of England figures were seen as possible contenders to succeed Dr Williams, who leaves after a decade in the post at the end of this year to become Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge. They included Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu, who was named as an early favourite, Bishop of Norwich the Rt Rev Graham James, and the Bishop of London, the Rt Rev Richard Chartres.
THE gender wage gap was highlighted dramatically this week when it was revealed that, on average, women earn nearly £250,000 less than a man in their lifetime. And those with middle-level qualifications earn even less pro-rata than those who have none at all. Contrary to general belief, the prime cause of the gender income gap is not earnings lost by time off having children, according to by the London School of Economics on behalf of the UK Government’s women’s unit,. Being a mum can add dramatically to the loss, say researchers. But the reasons for what is termed the “female forfeit” are women being concentrated in lower-paid sectors of the job market, and discrimination in pay against those doing the same work as men - 25 years after the equal-pay act! Occupations affected include primary schoolteachers, nurses, care assistants, secretaries, cleaners and clerks, where 80% of the workforce is female. Surprisingly, the study shows that a woman who leaves school with GCSEs will “lose” £50,000 more over a lifetime than a woman with none, which will cause concern for ministers encouraging teenage girls to stay on at school,. Women in clerical jobs lose more than shop assistants, yet unskilled women lose significantly more than those with qualifications if the former have children.
This latest research will put pressure on the Government to act. Ministers have stressed they will not legislate to enforce gender parity but will, instead, urge employers to review pay structures. The TUC, which is running an equal-pay campaign, wants firmer action, while the equal opportunities commission is campaigning for effective measures short of legislation. The findings underline the greater pay gap for part-time female workers. While the fulltime pay gap has narrowed over 20 years with women now earning an average 84% of men’s wages, female parttimers receive 58% of the rate per hour for male full-timers. The study, Women’s Incomes Over a Lifetime, was launched on Wednesday by Baroness Jay and Tessa Jowell, the two Government Ministers for Women, Baroness Jay said: “This research shows that women are paying a heavy, economic price just for being female. They are experiencing a female forfeit. “We should celebrate the fact that women have made great progress in the labour market over the last 20 years, but the analysis underlines starkly there are still many barriers which need to be overcome.” The research divides women into three categories: Mrs Low-skill, with no qualifications; Mrs Mid-skill, qualified to GCSE level and, perhaps, working in a clerical job; and Mrs High-skill, a graduate professional. It shows that, for mid-tohigh-skilled women, the earnings penalty is higher than that incurred by having children. Only for low-skilled women, who spend much longer away from the workplace and
return to work part- time, is the mother gap higher than the core “female forfeit”. The findings also confirm that the timing of motherhood is another factor affecting income, with young mothers suffering the highest income penalties. If Mrs Mid-skill has her first child by 24, say, she is estimated to forgo more than double the earnings of a mother who starts at 30. A total “parent gap”, meanwhile, reveals big income differences between a married mother and father with the same skills level. And a low-skilled woman with two children is worst hit, earning around a lifetime £500,000 less than her husband. The income forfeited over a lifetime by women also has implications in retirement. A mid-skill woman with children pays £2,000 less in pension contributions than a similarly-educated woman without children, but she receives a total of £7,000 less in pension payments. The women’s ministers claim that the findings will inform future policy-making on issues such as welfare support, the New Deal, childcare and career choices. However, critics will argue that current policy, which targets low-income women with benefits, such as the working family tax credit as part of the Government’s goal of tackling child poverty, ignores the wider factors penalising women of all backgrounds. Campaigners, including the equal opportunities commission and the TUC, want to see more done to increase low wages in femaledominated employment sectors, and steps to remedy the extra pay penalty for part-
time working. They are also pressing for more to be done to ensure women taking time out to have children can return at an equivalent level, rather than taking a lowerpaid job. It is claimed, also, that the gender pay gap is so large, at almost 15%, that women will effectively work the rest of the year for free. A study by campaign group Fawcett Society suggests that, rather than improving, the pay and jobs prospects of women are going into reverse amid the Government’s austerity measures. Chief executive Ceri Goddard said: “At the same time, women’s unemployment stands at a 24-year high, and growing numbers of women have been forced into low paid, part-time and insecure employment - in other words, underemployment! “Far from slowly moving forward, we now face going into reverse. If the Government wants to avoid an unprecedented backwards step on its watch, it must take more action.” The conclusions were released as separate research for the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) found that the average female company executive earns more than £400,000 less than a male counterpart over her career. According to the institute, the average gender pay gap for UK executives is more than £10,000 annually. It also claimed that women receive less than half the bonus payments given to men, and 4.3% of female executives were made redundant in the past year, which is 1.1% more than male bosses. It found that while women now make up 57% of company executives, only 40% are departmental heads, and fewer than one in four is a chief executive. The survey of more than 38,000 executives revealed a “substantial” gender pay gap at the higher end of the executive career ladder, said the CMI. Ann Francke, CMI chief executive, said: “Women make up almost three out of four at the bottom of the ladder, but only one out of four at the top.”

‘Fragile’ customers hurting Morrisons MORRISONS, the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket chain, has blamed a drop in underlying sales on “fragile” customer confidence. Sales at stores open for over 12 months, excluding fuel, fell 2.1% in the first nine months of this year. It compares with a fall of 0.9% in the first half, and total sales, excluding fuel, were down 0.4%. A company statement read: “With consumer confidence still fragile, and high levels of promotional activity a persistent feature of the market, the trading environment has remained challenging through the period, and sales were lower than anticipated.” Morrisons expects the environment to “remain challenging” over the rest of the year, but believes its financial performance will be in line with expectations.
Industry data released by Kantar Worldpanel showed Morrisons, which has 450 stores, lagging behind top rivals Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda. The figures also show it has missed out on the sales growth enjoyed by smaller chains, including discounters Aldi and Lidl. That means competition this Christmas when supermarkets fight to cash in on the festive spending rush, will be tougher than ever.
09 November - 15 November 2012
In response, Morrisons promised customers they could buy their Christmas lunch groceries for £2.49 per head as part of its “Dreaming Of A Tight Christmas” Following the news, Morrisons’ shares fell over 1%, while Tesco’s were up over 1.6%. Joseph Robinson, senior consultant at retail analysts Conlumino said: “A resurgent Tesco is discounting and vouchering extensively, the deep discounters continue
to gain ground and Asda is pushing its ‘everyday low price’ message harder than ever.” “Against this backdrop Morrisons, whose customers remain more price-sensitive than average, has simply lost ground.” He added: “The key challenge to Morrisons going forward will be to balance longer-term aspirations and strategies with shorter-term tactics to drive footfall and spend.”
Monet’s £27m lily picture of delight! A FAMOUS water lily painting by French artist Claude Monet has sold for £27 million at a Christie’s New York auction. Monet’s oil-on-canvas Nympheas, which was painted in 1905 during his years at Giverny, reached the high end of its pre-sale estimate.
And a painting by Wassily Kandinsky sold for £14.6m at the sale of impressionist and modern art - a record for the Russian, who died in 1944. Works by Miro and Picasso also went under the hammer in the first of two weeks of major auctions in the city, the latter’s Buste de femme fetching £8m. But around 30% of the 69 paintings up for sale failed to find buyers.

Golden Wiggins is hurt in road crash BRADLEY WIGGINS, acknowledged as Britain’s greatestever cyclist, is nursing broken ribs in hospital after a road crash on his mountain bike. The 2012 Tour de France champion and Olympic gold medallist was thrown off his bike after a collision with a white Vauxhall Astra Envoy outside a petrol station in Lancashire. Police said his injuries were initially thought to be serious. But he was later found to have suffered a number of cracked ribs, plus and cuts and bruises. The incident happened at about 6pm on Wednesday in Wrightington, near to the Londoner’s home in Eccleston, between Preston and Wigan. The 32-year-old double champion, holder of seven Olympic medals and one of the favourites to win BBC’s Sportsman of the Year accolade, was said to be on his way to meet a group of local cyclists. A local woman, who was
Page 16
driving the Astra out of the garage, was uninjured. Garage attendant Yasmin Smith, who ran out to help him, told Sky News: “There was a loud screeching of tyres and a rather big bang. A customer said there had been an accident, so I shot out to see a gentleman on the pavement. “He did look in a lot of pain, with his ribs more than anything, and he kept holding himself. His colour changed in his face, and he was deteriorating within minutes with the pain. “I didn’t realise who he actually was until he got into the ambulance - I was more concerned about his health.” Team Sky, for whom he rides professionally, said on their website: “He is being kept in hospital overnight for observation. But the injuries he has sustained are not thought to be serious, and he is expected to make a full and speedy recovery.” Wiggins, not the best of uphill climbers, attributed his Tour de France success to the stiff mountain tests he put himself through in Tenerife last winter.
Dixons offers Xmas work to ‘jobless’ employees at rivals DIXONS has displayed some early Christmas spirit by putting off hiring temporary staff for the festive period to help those employed by embattled rival Comet to apply for work. Comet went into administration last week, raising questions about the
future of its 6,000 jobs across 236 stores. In a generous gesture, Dixons Retail, which owns Currys and PC World, has delayed hiring around 3,000 Christmas staff for a week. It has now posted a job advertisement for temporary sale advisors on its website. Successful applicants must “provide great customer service” and help customers “find the right products for them”. The electronic equipment
chain has already had over 500 enquiries from Comet staff - both in store and online - about the positions. “We have been amazed by how many Comet employees have already come to talk to us,” said Sebastian James, Dixon’s chief executive. A company spokesman added: “Clearly this is going to be a difficult Christmas for them and their families, and we’d like to offer some hope.” Dixons also hopes “a good
number” of the jobs will eventually convert into permanent positions. The collapse of Comet comes a month after fellow High Street stalwart JJB Sports closed down, with 2,200 job losses. If Deloitte fails to find a buyer for Comet, it will become one of the biggest retail casualties since Woolworths in 2008. The chain was bought by investment firm OpCapita in February for a nominal £2.

How Accion del Sol exists Accion del Sol News
B E C A U S E of incorrect information regarding the German charity Aktiontier and its relationship with Acción del Sol, we would like to explain how the Granadilla dog refuge is organised, financed and operated. Aktiontier is one of the biggest animal welfare organisations in Germany with more than 200.000 members there. Their sole aim is to help animals in danger, whether or not they are German. All over the world, Aktiontier is collaborating with legal animal organisations, helping many species of animals, both domesticated and wild, and for more information please follow the link http:// www.aktiontier.org/ The Accion del Sol refuge, built seven years ago with Aktiontier funding, initially took in more than 200 dogs from an illegal refuge in Arico, which was closed down by Tenerife Cabildo. Since then, Accion staff have worked extremely hard to rehome the abandoned dogs. Tenerife’s Ayuntamientos (Town Halls) are legally obliged to make arrangements for dogs abandoned on the streets. Granadilla, Guia De Isora and Arona all have legal contracts with Aktiontier, so any dogs found in these areas are collected by Protection Civil and taken to the refuge. Accion, as stated in its contracts with the Town Halls, receive a small, oneoff payment towards the cost of each dog collected, regardless of the length of time it stays at the refuge. Every single dog there receives full medical care from vets - flea, tick and heartworm treatment, and is also inoculated, passported and micro-chipped.
And as well as being sterilised or castrated, goodquality food and care is given to all of them, regardless or size, age or breed. Accion del Sol is not run on the same lines as Spanish refuges, where unclaimed dogs are put down after 21 days of collection, and many of the original dogs from Arico are still enjoying their retirement there. Over 3,000 dogs have been brought into the refuge since it opened, and lots of them have been rehomed in Germany as well as here in Tenerife. Accion is always grateful for monetary donations or materials, such as toys and blankets, etc, as they do not have any charity shops or collection boxes on the Island. The majority of the finance comes from the many German members who support Aktiontier, and cash also comes in from occasional fund-raisers, which are generally backed by Accion followers and friends. Accion’s biggest concern is that people’s minds must be changed, because we simply cannot help every animal. But through children’s education, which the refuge staff promote vigorously, Accion believes it can make a difference to animal welfare in the future here. If you would like to visit or assist Accion del Sol in any way, please call 922 778 630 for more information, or pop in on Monday to Friday (36pm). The refuge is situated at Granadilla Industrial Estate, Exit 51 on the TF1, right next to the ITER ecological park, by the windmills. In view of the dire economy right now, Accion would like to help orphans at the SOS Children’s Village in Santa Cruz to have a better Christmas. If you have any used or new toys you would like to donate to the kids, please call the above number, or take them directly to the refuge. All help and support will be gratefully received by Accion - welcomed by the children.
Garden Bar’s sporting fund-raiser turns out to be another huge smash THE world-famous Garden Bar, in Sun Beach, Fanabe, raised around 6,000 euros for charity at their recent sports memorabilia charity bash. The money will be shared between Help for Heroes and, more locally, Tenerife Lions Club. Owner Webby, partner Dawn and son Matthew spent months arranging the annual fund-raiser, whose Patron is actor Perry Fenwick - Billy Mitchell in Eastenders. The evening was compered by Danny Bianco, who was a huge hit, and the raffle alone raised nearly 700 euros. A big thank-you goes to those who donated prizes, including Heineken Canarias, Danny’s Camera Shop, Dawn’s Handbag Shop, El Veneto
restaurant, Cordon Roco restaurant, Cour-de-filet restaurant and Showtime, the Sound of Musicals. Also, an equally huge thank-you to the Garden Bar’s loyal customers for their generosity over the past months - and for all of the
sporting memorabilia which was kindly donated. Coventry supporter Webby and his family have been in Tenerife since 1994, and for the past eight years at the Garden Bar. And during that period they have raised thousands for charity. Webby told Canarian Weekly: “I do it because I love

Former Canarian Weekly editor had a famous past! THE untimely death of former Canarian Weekly editor Keith Strong brought back happy memories to those who knew him. But few knew of his deepest secret: the 70-yearold journalist, who had been a showbiz reporter on his local Sheffield Star newspaper for years, rubbed shoulders with the good and great - and even managed to upset family favourite Max Bygraves! Keith, an offbeat character who wrote a famed TV column during the Seventies, shunned suits, collars and ties, as were the norm in those days. Instead, he roamed about wearing T-shirts, especially the one bearing the slogan Thank God it’s Friday. He drank regularly with his pals Joe Cocker and heavy metal group Def Leppard, whom he “discovered” and who were to become rock
legends from Sheffield, alongside Cocker. And Keith himself became a legend, well known for
giving a few editors some sleepless nights with his sometimes acerbic column. He was also a close
confidante of the late Sheffield comedienne Marti Caine, who would ring him during her most troubled
times. When Keith described Bygraves as “talentless” on a regular basis in his column, the entertainer took him to task initially. He then turned the insult around and played along with the running joke. Max sent Keith a box of matches with the message “In case of gas leak, use this,” and also a packet of Paxo, inviting him to use it on himself! Keith’s friendship with Def Leppard always remained close and only two years ago, he and his wife, Jackie, were invited to watch them perform in Las Vegas. The couple came to Tenerife in 1993 to run a bar in Costa del Silencio, where they set up home. Soon after they opened their own bar, Jackies Kitchen. But newspapers were in his blood and, four years later when the opportunity arose, he was appointed editor of the newly-launched Canarian Weekly. He was taken seriously ill in 2002, but recovered rapidly and was back at the
helm around six weeks later. Keith soldiered on until 2004, when he retired. Eventually, the couple returned to Sheffield the following year. Jackie told Canarian Weekly: “We had a nice lifestyle after he appeared to make a full recovery. “But Keith had lymphoma cancer and, unfortunately, suffered. I witnessed it firsthand and it was horrible to watch it take over - a nightmare. He passed away on 10th October and I am still utterly devastated.” She added: “Keith never bragged or even particularly talked about his work, but he was quite famous without the fame tag, and he was a pure grafter. “He was well thought of in Sheffield and life will never be the same again for me.” Keith, who leaves a daughter, Philippa, from a previous marriage, and a stepson, Brent, was cremated in Sheffield. Fittingly, his life and career were toasted afterwards with a musical celebration at a local bar.

Teeing off for charity THE Golf Shop, based at Las Chafiras, hold its Going Golfing Holidays’ Hole in One competition Monday-Friday on the Amarilla and Adeje courses. Prizes on offer include a set of clubs or a week’s luxurious holiday in Tenerife for the
elusive hole in one. The last winner was Scotsman, Euan Mclntosh who secured his ace on golf Costa Adeje on 13th August and will be taking his prize holiday at a 5-star hotel in Adeje next May. It costs each entrant just 10 euros, of which 20% goes to charity. And if you manage to hit the green with your first shot, you will receive quality prizes such as a TaylorMade
hat, balls, socks or pitch-mark repairer. It is an ongoing commitment by the Smith family - Bill and Muriel, and their son Paul who have just made their latest donation to charity. They have donated five brand new laptop computers to the Helping Hands in Tenerife Charity; three of these will be given to Guardyl Children’s home in Granadilla,
one will go to the Martha Dos Centre for children with Cerebal Palsy and the other will be auctioned at the Helping Hands Charity lunch being held at Bianco’s on the 24th November. The Golf Shop have donated huge sums to charities over the years and would like to thank all the golfers taking part in the competition. Photo: Sir Old Golfer.

I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! Sunday, 11 November, ITV1, 21.00 I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is back which can mean only one thing… the time has come for another batch of celebrities to head down under and battle it out in TV’s toughest challenge. Leaving their plush pads and luxuries far behind, the celebrity camp mates will spend up to three weeks taking on the harsh surroundings of the Australian jungle, with a whole host of brand new nasty surprises created just for them. This year, the I’m a Celebrity team have pulled out all the stops to ensure that the celebrities will face alarming shocks, startling surprises and nail biting challenges Last year’s highlights included Fatima Whitbread’s ‘cockroach invader’ during her Bushtucker Trail, Mark Wright’s attempts too woo model Emily Scott, Anthony Cotton’s back biting and Dougie Poynter being crowned King of the Jungle... but who will be begging for our votes this year? Whoever does end up in the terrifying and legendary jungle camp will find themselves cut off from the outside world and praying the public doesn’t send them straight into a dreaded Bushtucker Trial. It’s a brand new cast with a brand new set of challenges and all in HD. As always, BAFTA award winning hosts Ant and Dec, are back to present all the big stories live from the jungle every night.

Dermot O'Leary presents the sixth Saturday night of live studio performances as series nine of Britain's biggest singing competition continues. The voting lines open tonight before any of the performances begin, allowing viewers to vote for their favourite acts without having to wait until the end of the show. The competition is getting tougher each week, and the pressure is mounting on the contestants to deliver consistently good performances as the December finale draws ever nearer. As proven with MK1 and Jade Ellis in recent live shows, no act - however talented can assume that they are safe from elimination, and there are inevitably more surprise exits in store in the coming weeks. Having given everything to their performances tonight, the hopefuls must wait a nailbiting 24 hours before they learn the results of the public vote.

Destined for success MICHAEL (Tenerife) and Della Richards have an interesting past. In 2005, they appeared as duo Spirit ‘n’ Destiny on the X factor, but were ejected because they refused to leave the audition room. However, on eventually leaving, they were signed to Louis Walsh’s Global Management, which led to a tour of Butlins during 2006. Alongside performing here as Spirit ‘n’ Destiny, Della is also working on a tribute to German Eurodance act Cascada. Why Tenerife? They fell in love with the island 10 years ago and made their minds up to stay. When have we ever heard that before?

Everything changes WHILE playing records at his mum’s 40th birthday party, Dave Michaels met children’s TV presenter Mark Granger. Mark thought Dave was either a professional comedian or a DJ. Mark, and then girlfriend Melandra Burrows (of Emmerdale fame), gave him the job of looking after a boy band; their names were Gary, Robbie, Jason, Howard and Mark. But that was many years ago and Dave sometimes wonders what became of the lads. Since his move to Tenerife, Dave has developed three distinct cabaret shows. He stresses that each is lighthearted with family humour and well-known songs. Catch one of them at: Tuesdays: 9.30pm - St Eugen’s, San Eugenio Fridays: 10pm - Shambles Bar, Los Cristianos Saturdays: 6pm - Coral Mar Square, Costa del Silencio Sundays: 8.45pm - The Pheasant Plucker, San Eugenio

Nelson’s column
AUNTIE Beeb no longer relies on presenters with plums on their mouths because RP speakers are generally perceived as haughty and unfriendly. Similarly, children with working-class dialects may be evaluated by teachers as having less educational potential than those with middle-class accents. So I suggest the answer is to talk posh when young and, as you gradually age, work your way towards sounding really common.

Imagine - Do or Die: Lang Lang’s Story BBC1, 22.35 From child prodigy to global phenomenon, Alan Yentob reveals the extraordinary life of Lang Lang, China’s classical music superstar. With sell-out concerts around the world and a growing popularity that reaches far beyond traditional classical audiences, Lang Lang has redefined the concept of the celebrity concert pianist. His expressive style of playing has at times drawn some criticism but his ability to connect with a younger generation has played a significant role in inspiring over 40 million Chinese children to take up the piano. In this feature-length documentary, Imagine explores the personal story behind the ‘Lang Lang phenomenon’. It is a story that began with extreme hardship and a dream kindled by Lang Lang’s parents during the bitter years of the Cultural Revolution. The dream soon became an obsession, however, and threatened not only to tear the family apart but nearly ended in tragedy. Despite these difficulties, Lang Lang’s prodigious musical talent and his determination from a young age has led him from China’s industrial city of Shenyang to the height of international fame and recognition as one of the world’s most successful virtuoso pianists. Now in his 30th year, in the auspicious ‘Year of the Dragon’, he undertakes an epic world tour that includes Shanghai, Beijing, Berlin, London and New York. He plays for the Queen at the Diamond Jubilee Concert, opens his own piano school in China, performs at Carnegie Hall in New York, celebrates his birthday in Berlin (sharing the stage with 50 children), and becomes the first classical musician to headline at Latitude in Suffolk, to rapturous applause from the festival crowd. Imagine profiles a musician at the height of his powers, who, with inspirational talent and an exuberant personality, is bringing new audiences to classical music.

life-like feel to the way crimes are investigated in each episode. EPISODE 1 A woman calls 999 to report that her elderly father has been robbed at the care home where he lives – but is she just after his money for herself. Detective Inspector Jane Preston and Detective Sergeant Ben Shaw are tasked with investigating a theft from an elderly care home resident after Sue Wilkins (Virginia Fiol) finds £60 missing from her father’s chest of drawers. Cantankerous Philip Wilkins (Peter Baldwin) explains to the police that he regularly asks his carer, timid Anya Sobczek (Magdalena Kurek), to buy toiletries on his behalf and won’t have a word said against her, especially as his own flesh and blood has left him to rot in a home. Initially there seems no case to answer - until Philip struggles to account for the cash withdrawals from his bank account. Concerned, DI Preston decides to dig a little deeper and learns that he is in the early stages of dementia. Could carer Anya be taking advantage of his illness? Closer inspection of Anya’s background reveals a chequered past, but care home manager Marion Jackson (Wendi Peters) vouches for her employee’s integrity, alleging that Sue Wilkins is struggling financially and has a vested interested in undermining her father’s confidence. The police begin to suspect Sue’s complaint might be a ruse to persuade Philip to sign over his power of attorney so she can get her hands on his money until a check on Philip Watkin’s accounts reveals much larger sums of cash being paid out to a mystery man. Further investigation reveals this man is dead. What is going on?

W C CHOICE Richard Hammond's Miracles of Nature BBC1, 21:00
Richard Hammond continues his exploration of weird and wonderful animal abilities by focusing on super-senses, and discovers how those same animal senses have inspired some unlikely human inventions. Richard gets buried in a Californian gold mine, attempts to talk to a rattlesnake by telephone, and is taken for a ride by a monster truck that drives itself. Along the way, he encounters elephants who can talk to each other through solid rock; seals who use their whiskers to sense the shape, size, speed and direction of an object that passed over thirty seconds earlier; and a blind cyclist who is relying on fruit bats to get him safely down a twisting mountain bike trail.
Eggheads BBC2, 18:00 Dermot Murnaghan hosts the show where every day a new team of challengers take on probably the greatest quiz team in Britain. The team is made up of some of the country's top quiz champions, including Barry Simmons, Millionaire winner Judith Keppel, Mastermind winner Chris Hughes, three-time World Quiz champion Kevin Ashman, Weakest Link winner CJ de Mooi and 15-1 winner Daphne Fowler. Can today's challengers triumph over the general knowledge Goliaths and walk off with the cash prize?

Each celebrity pairing will host a segment of the night and will showcase the huge amount of treats hidden up Text Santa’s sleeve. The Text Santa appeal is working on behalf of specially chosen charities offering lifechanging services to vulnerable people throughout the UK. This year’s charities are Age UK, Anthony Nolan, Carers UK, Marie Curie Cancer Care, Together for Short Lives and Whizz-Kidz. The show will bring to life the six chosen charities and viewers will be encouraged to donate throughout the night as part of the Text Santa appeal. People can also get involved in fundraising beforehand in the run up to the show, with adults and kids fundraising packs available for download now from www.itv.com/textsanta Ant & Dec said: “We’re delighted to be returning to host Text Santa again, last year we raised an amazing amount of money and awareness for six truly worthy causes. This year we want to make it even bigger and better and you can get involved too by simply ordering a fundraising pack and putting the fun into fundraising.” Paddy McGuinness said: “I’m rocking around the Christmas tree at joining the Text Santa team. What a great bunch of people to be working with to host this year’s appeal. Santa has been very kind to me this year and paired me up with Christine Bleakley! What a fantastic way to start the Christmas countdown!” Peter Fincham, ITV Director of Television said: “We’re so thrilled to be working with such fantastic names again and that so many of ITV’s most loved shows are also doing something special for Text Santa. We want to give viewers a real treat in return for their incredible generosity and support of these inspirational charities.” Text Santa will once again work with its broadcast sponsor ASDA and commercial partners Vodafone and Santander. Vodafone will be supporting Text Santa using their JustTextGiving service, to help raise money and awareness for the chosen charities. Viewers will be able to donate money throughout the campaign by text, using JustTextGiving by Vodafone, free on any network allowing 100% of the donation going to the charities. ASDA will be launching festive Text Santa hats, available nationwide, with a percentage of every sale going to Text Santa. Santander will once again be taking donations over the counter in their network of 1,300 branches, whilst the bank have also supported our three fundraising packs that will be available both online and in ASDA stores.

She Doesn't Just Give it Away. It is Jack's first day back on the Hebburn Advertiser - and he has plans to transform it into a paper that makes a difference. Joe's doctor tells him he has to relax to help with his heart problems and Pauline makes it her mission to de-stress him. Luckily, Sarah's hippy sister Marial is in town with essential oils, hands-on-healing and a penchant for big Geordie bears. Sadly for Joe it means that he is banned from pork pies, cheese and is forced to drink peppermint tea, even on Jack's stag night.
Everyday Channel 4, 21:00 Michael Winterbottom's drama tells the story of four children separated from their father, and a wife separated from her husband. The father Ian is in prison. The mother Karen has to bring up a family of four children by herself. Filmed over a period of five years, Everyday uses the repetitions and rhythms of everyday life to explore how a family can survive a prolonged period apart. The story unfolds in a series of visits: first the family visiting the father in prison, later the father visiting the family at home. With each visit the distance between the children and their father becomes harder to bridge. By avoiding the normal cinematic conventions of time passing, Everyday focuses on the small subtle changes as people grow up and grow old while being apart.

Children’s illustrator has designed stamps THE Royal Mail have issued five 2012 Christmas stamps featuring traditional Christmas scenes and characters including Father Christmas, festive robins, Christmas Trees and a reindeer. The stamps are now on sale in the UK and will be available in all Post Offices and online at www.royalmail.com/ christmas. The Robin has an association with Royal Mail going back to Victorian times when postmen were nicknamed ‘Robin Redbreasts’ after the red waistcoats they wore. The first decorated Christmas Trees were thought to have originated in 16th Century Germany. The earliest image of a snowman was discovered in a book called ‘Book of Hours’, from 1380. To provide choice for customers, the popular 1st and 2nd Class Madonna and Child stamps, first issued in
2007, are also available. Help Royal Mail’s postmen and women deliver this year’s festive mail by posting early this Christmas and using the postcode. Axel Scheffler, the best-
selling children’s illustrator is the designer of the Royal Mail’s 2012 Christmas stamps. As well as working with Scheffler on the Christmas stamps, Royal Mail’s design team also collaborated with children’s author and poet, Tony Mitton. Mitton, whose works include the Amazing Animals series, And Crazy Camelot Capers, penned a narrative poem for the Presentation Pack entitled, Starry Story, a Christmas tale involving all the characters that appear on the stamps. Axel Scheffler said: “It’s been an interesting and enjoyable experience working with Royal Mail on developing the Christmas stamps. I hope they’ll add a little extra colour
and fun to the festive season.” Andrew Hammond, Royal Mail Stamps spokesperson, said: “Christmas is always a stamp issue we look forward to. This year we were delighted with the work produced by Axel. His charming style set the perfect tone for the stamps.” Scheffler created a series of traditional Christmas scenes, including Father Christmas with a festive robin perching on his hand (1st Class), a reindeer with decorated antlers (2nd Class), the usual differences set aside as a cat and mouse decorate a Christmas Tree (87p), a Robin atop a sprig of holly bearing a star decoration in his beak (£1.28) and a snowman meeting a penguin (£1.90).
People taking out payday loans just can’t repay them HALF of payday loan users have taken out credit that, it turned out, they can't afford to repay. A third of payday loan users have taken out credit that they knew they couldn’t repay. In the last 12 months, more than half (57%) of people with payday loans have missed a payment and have incurred charges because of missed or bounced repayments (56%). 43% of payday loan users say it’s too easy to get credit. Almost a third (31%) were hassled by debt collection agencies in the past 12 months. One in five (20%) have been hit with unexpected charges. Seven in 10 (69%) payday loan users say they have regretted taking out a loan or other credit product in the last year. A quarter (27%) of payday loan users have sought debt advice in the last 12 months compared to just 5% of users of any credit product. People who use payday loans (15%) are more likely to use advertising to help them choose a product than users of any credit product (5%). What are people spending credit on? Which? research found that payday loans are being used to pay for rent and regular household bills much more than credit cards, which tend to be reserved for emergencies and more extravagant purchases such as holidays. However, buying food and fuel are the top items that people are using
both forms of credit for. Which? executive director, Richard Lloyd, said: “It’s shocking that half of all people taking out payday loans have been unable to pay the money back and it’s a depressing sign of the times that almost a third were hassled by debt collectors in the past year. Payday loans are leaving many people caught in a spiral of debt and taking out more loans just to get by. That’s when they’re hit by excessive penalty charges and roll over fees. “The Office of Fair Trading must do more to clamp down on irresponsible lending by introducing tighter rules for payday lenders. Better affordability assessments and clearer charges would be the first steps to clean up the industry and better protect consumers.” Which? is calling for: More robust affordability assessments that take into account the borrower’s income, expenditure and their ability to repay the debt. Affordability assessments to take place each time a borrower requests to roll over a loan or take out a new one. Lenders to be clear and upfront about all extra charges and display them clearly on their website alongside the application process. Lenders to do more to help customers in financial difficulty by freezing penalties and working out suitable repayment plans. All extra charges to be fair and reflect the true cost to the lender. Excessive charges must be stamped out.
New sorting centres THE Royal Mail is opening eight dedicated parcel sort centres for the Christmas period to handle the major rise in the volume of parcels due to the ongoing increase in the number of people shopping online. The parcel sort centres are being set up to sort a significant proportion of the parcels Royal Mail handles before they are distributed around the UK and delivered to the door by Royal Mail’s postmen and women The parcel sort centres are in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Swansea, Bolton, Tamworth,
Page 38
Peterborough, Swindon and Greenford. The investment in the dedicated parcel sort centres is in addition to the substantial financial commitment Royal Mail normally makes on additional resources to handle the
festive mailbag. Mark Higson, Royal Mail’s Managing Director of Operations and Modernisation, said: “Christmas is the busiest time of year for Royal Mail and our customers. Royal Mail has invested in eight dedicated parcel sort centres to increase
our scale and improve our flexibility during this important time of year for our customers. “As we do every year, we encourage people to post early and order presents early to help us spread the workload of handling the festive mailbag in the run up to Christmas. We also encourage people to make sure they correctly address their cards, letters and parcels, including using a postcode. Customers can check postcodes for free at www. royalmail.com/postcodefinder.”

Poppy power Poppy is a group of flowering plants in the poppy family. They are grown for their colorful flowers, and some species can be used for food. Poppy flowers have 4 to 6 petals. The petals may be almost any color, and some have markings. Before blooming, the petals are crumpled in the bud, and as blooming finishes, the petals often lie flat before falling away. A whorl of stamens is in the center of the flower. The pollen of the oriental poppy, Papaver orientale, is dark blue. The pollen of the field poppy or corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is dark green to grey. Bees use poppies as a pollen source. One species, the opium poppy, is particularly famous, for it is commonly used for its nutritious poppy seed, as well as for the creation of opiate drugs such as opium, codeine, morphine and heroin. The remembrance poppy (a Papaver rhoeas) has been used since 1920 to commemorate soldiers who have died in war. Inspired by the World War I poem “In Flanders Fields”, they were first used by the American Legion to commemorate American soldiers who died in that war (1914–1918). They were then adopted by military veterans’ groups in the Commonwealth; especially the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Today, they are mainly used in the UK and Canada
According to Sutton seeds there are two ‘must haves’
Take root cuttings of oriental poppies Check stakes and ties are secure on trees and climbers Move containers of shrubs or winter bedding to a sheltered spot when conditions turn very cold Plant new rose bushes Empty pots of spent annuals and compost the remains Transplant shrubs that have outgrown their position Lift and store dahlia tubers once their leaves are blackened by frost Prune rambling roses after flowering Rake autumn leaves from lawns and pick them out of borders for composting Pile bark mulch over the crowns of hardy fuchsias to
provide protection from cold Dig over empty borders and pile manure on top for the worms to pull underground Lift and divide congested clumps of rhubarb Cut down asparagus ferns and the tops of Jerusalem artichokes Use cloches to protect winter peas, beans and salads Lift and pot up chicory roots to force in the dark Plant new fruit trees, bushes and cane fruits Collect seeds from garlic and chives Start pruning apples, pears and figs Take hardwood cuttings from currants and gooseberries Spread compost or rotted manure onto beds
Banana campaign puts a smile on people’s faces to commemorate their servicemen and women who have been killed since 1914. There, small artificial poppies are often worn on clothing on Remembrance Day/ Armistice Day (11 November) and in the weeks before it. Poppy wreaths are also often laid at war memorials. The remembrance poppy is especially prominent in the UK in the weeks leading up to Remembrance Sunday. They are sold by The Royal British Legion for its “Poppy Appeal” and it is seen as befitting for public figures to wear one, which some have berated as “poppy fascism”.
Grow your own Poppies are easy to grow and are an economical way to fill a sunny border with glowing colour. Choose a sunny, sheltered site and dig over, removing any weeds and incorporating a general fertiliser if necessary. Rake the soil to a fine, crumbly, moist surface and sow the seed thinly but evenly. Rake the seed in lightly approx. 6mm (¼”) deep. Germination should take 10-20 days. As the young seedlings grow, thin them to a final spacing of 23cm (9”). AFTERCARE
In exposed situations it may be necessary to support plants with canes or twigs to prevent wind damage. Cut flowers – for best results, cut as the blooms begin to open. Sprinkle seeds on bread and cakes. Suttons have gota poppy collection including, Black Paeony – paeony flowered deep purple. Flemish Antique – red/white bicoloured, double blooms. Swansdown – double, fringed white flowers. Pink Bicolour – deep pink/white blooms. Scarlet Paeony – paeony flowered deep scarlet.

this year white strawberries and purple spuds. We featured ‘Pineberries’ a number of months ago, they are white and have a flavour reminiscent of pineapple, they are also an early cropper, gardening pundits say they are going to be a hit this summer. More than 3,000 plants have been sent to garden centres.
09 November - 15 November 2012
We’ve seen purple cabbage and carrots now it’s the turn of the staple spud. Purple Majesty potatoes are also expected to prove popular with experts saying that the potatoes are high in anthocyanin, an antioxidant which is linked to potential health benefits in treating diabetes, inflammation and age-related disease.
In addition to the health benefits the potatoes are a very versatile vegetable. Other 2012 trends include “turbo” melons and tomatoes, (bigger versions, larger crops) A spokeswoman for Suttons Seeds, which supply the products, said: “We’re preparing for these plants to be big hits with growers next year.”
In July of this year, the Asociación de Organizaciones de Productores de Plátano de Canarias (ASPROCAN), a union for banana growers on the Canary Islands, asked local children to send in drawings as part of a new campaign. The growers asked kids to draw things that make them smile.
The campaign, tagged ´Sonrisas´ (Smiling) is intended to put smiles on people’s faces, not just consumers, but everybody in the industry. Producers intend to send out a positive vibe after the hardships the Islands, and Spain itself, have had to endure. 3,711 drawings were sent to growers of fruit all over Spain. A special website, www.platanodecanarias.net, has been set up to celebrate the new campaign and to thank the children who participated. Source: http:// platanodecanarias.net/news

CARL PATTISON
DEAR CHRISTINE
from Robot, Los Cristianos answers your hair questions
How RUDE can you be? THIS week, I’m going to touch on a subject which not only has to do with salon etiquette, but also applies to most businesses in general. I trained in a very busy salon in my teens, where I was taught that the customer must always be looked after and valued. It wasn’t a get-them-in, get-them-out salon – far from it, and these are the sort of values I still hold today. Your salon visit should be pleasurable, from start to finish, but that isn’t necessarily down to us on every occasion. I have seen and heard many a rude customer in my years, and I have listened to clients talking to my staff as though they were something they had trodden in. But I can honestly say that in my 25-year career of owning salons, I have had to ”REMOVE” just five clients, which I find quite a good record. People ask me how my staff and I have the patience, and I always tell them that it comes as part of the job. But sometimes we get pushed too far, and that’s when I wonder why I’m doing this job. Don’t get me wrong because I love my work, but people often push us just that little too far - so how can you help? What do you think bugs us the most? I’ll tell you: 1. Being late for your appointment really is the
Page 40
worst. We run our salon on an appointment system, as many do, and these are allotted times which you book with a verbal contract. Turning up late for a 45-minute cut-and-blow-dry means the next person will be kept waiting, so try to allow time for your travel and parking. 2. Not turning up for your appointment drives us wild. We could have taken someone else who needed that slot, so if you’re not going to make it, please let us know. We don’t mind - just don’t let us down. 3. Most stylists are good listeners and will advise you through your hair cut or colour. But please, don’t take it upon yourself to tell us that you were once a stylist 25 years ago, and that you still know how and what we should be doing with your hair. Times change, and so do techniques 4. I’ve yet to work with a rude stylist, yet sometimes, you would not believe the things that get said to us. If I wrote a book, you would say I made it up. So try to be patient with your stylist and he or she, I’m sure, will send you out of the salon with what you asked for.
5. If things go wrong, which in all places they do on occasion, try to keep calm and explain in a civil manner. Shouting at us will get you nowhere. We are human beings, and humans make mistakes. But remember, there’s always a solution to every problem. 6. Chances are, if you enter a salon asking for a specific cut or colour, you aren’t going to get it. That’s right, we can only work with what you provide us with - your hair and sometimes, allowances have to be made and things modified to suit you and your hair. Our combs are not magic wands. I hope that what I have talked about this week has come across as it should. We all want to operate in a pleasant place, but it requires work from both sides. Thank you to all the clients who make our job as hairdressers satisfying. For all those who do come in on time and turn up, in even the hottest or wettest weather, all we want to do is keep you, the clients, happy. Please don’t make our chosen career a sad one - I know I’m speaking for all stylists, and not just my salon.
Your resident Agony Aunt Email: agony.aunt@canarianweekly.com Dear Christine, I plan to fly to the UK soon and need a passport. I recently asked my parents for my birth certificate and was horrified to learn that I was an illegitimate child. They weren’t married when they had me and, although they are still together, they never did get married. I don’t know what to do to make myself feel better. Kayleigh The reality is that your parents wanted you, or they wouldn’t have had you. They are still the people they were, and you are still the same person you were. Moreover, your parents’ relationship with you and with each other is exactly as it has always been. In the bad old days, when people were more prejudiced and rigid in their thought structures, to have been born as a love-child rather than as part of a legal marriage was a bad thing - but not now. For decades, increasing numbers of people have been choosing to have children without the formality of that bit of paper. Indeed, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Western societies who weren’t born in wedlock and yet are secure in the knowledge that they are loved and wanted, just like you. Having separate surnames on your birth certificate doesn’t stop you doing anything you want to do. Few people, other than a registrar or a passport officer, will ever see your birth certificate - and they won’t worry about it, so why should you? I hope you’ll let yourself recover from the shock and realise that everything is just as it always was. As with every human being, it’s not the circumstances of your birth that
matters but how you choose to live your life. Dear Christine, I’m having a problem with one of my teachers. She says I’ve been stalking her and that I stand at the front gate of the school waiting for her. I’m often at the gate, but that’s because I’m waiting for my friend. He is in a different year, so we aren’t let out at exactly the same time. I’m really confused about this and don’t know what to do. The teacher won’t accept that I’m waiting for my friend. Can you please help? D It is important to make sure that none of your actions can give this teacher cause to believe that you’re stalking her, and you should always avoid being alone with her. If she asks you for a word after class, ask one of your friends to wait outside the classroom for you, and make sure the teacher knows you’ve done that. Don’t wait at the front gate any more. It would be best if
you met your friend somewhere else - a place the teacher isn’t likely to pass. Try to team up with someone in the classroom, corridor or cloakroom with whom you can leave school. Don’t give the teacher any reason to think you are waiting for her. Even if, by any chance you fancy her, the teacherstudent relationship is too fraught with complications to be worthwhile until you’re no longer a student and she no longer has any authority over you. I would also advise that you speak to someone about this - preferably your parents or your head of year. Say how uncomfortable you feel about this teacher’s untrue allegations. That way, if the teacher should make her allegations to someone else, you’ll already have witnesses to your side of the story. And if she does say anything else uncomfortable to you, tell her you’ll go straight to the police. Mean it, too. You haven’t done anything wrong. However, there is a problem and it’s up to you to defend yourself.

VAL SAINSBURY Keeping her finger on the pulse Email: val.sainsbury@canarianweekly.com
Heart disease: The big divide! DESPITE general improvements, the gap in heart-disease deaths for over-65s in the richest and poorest areas of the UK has widened since the Eighties. That’s the findings of heart experts at Imperial College London, who studied rates for men and women aged 30-64 and over-65s. Their research, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, is
thought to be the first to delve deeply into individual, electoral wards. The study looked at data from 1982 to 2006 across nearly 8,000 wards in England. Those with the highest death rates were found in areas around Manchester and Liverpool, parts of Yorkshire, around Birmingham, and deprived boroughs of London. And places mainly in the north, which performed poorly
in the Eighties, have been doing well since, but they still cannot rival the best. Others, spread across England, were doing averagely well, but they have also fallen behind. Deaths from cardiovascular disease (CVD) have more than halved across England overall. Yet the rates for men and women aged 65 or older showed a smaller decline than in the most deprived
communities, which demonstrates that the gap between the richest and poorest areas is wider. For men in that group, CVD deaths fell nearly five times more in the best-performing 1% of wards than in the worstperforming 1%. For women, there was a 10-fold variation. The researchers say the findings are important because the poor, economic situation and
Hospital patients in grave danger from their ‘unqualified’ helpers NATIONAL Health Service patients are receiving an “unacceptable” level of care from a growing army of unqualified healthcare assistants. They have taken over nursing roles on wards and in care homes. And basic tasks, once the responsibility of trained nurses, are being carried out
by more than 50,000 low-paid and unregulated assistants. Recent figures revealed that 43 hospital patients had starved to death, while 11 died of thirst because of failures in the most basic levels of care on hospital wards. And 78 died from bedsores. It’s all down to budget cuts and growing demands on
Families’ concerned over the Liverpool Pathway to Death NORMAN LAMB, the British Government’s Care Minister, has demanded an internal investigation into the use of payments to hospitals for getting terminally-ill patients on to the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) to death. He has asked Department of Health officials to probe how and why financial rewards are being linked to targets for the LCP. It follows Daily Telegraph disclosures that the majority of acute trusts in England have been receiving payments, totalling millions of pounds, for meeting goals linked to their use of the LCP. Details released under the Freedom of Information Act suggest that 75% of trusts use the technique, which involves reducing invasive treatment - potentially including food and fluids given to people in the final days of their lives. The returns suggest that a sum of up to £30 million has been paid out in the last 2-3 years to trusts which have hit targets linked to the
use of the LCP. The Pathway, developed in Liverpool, was designed to enable dying patients a more comfortable and less painful death. Mr Lamb agrees in principle that the payments, which are made by local NHS bodies rather than the Government, could well ensure a more dignified death. But he wants to make sure this method is being used appropriately But a string of examples has come to light in which relatives claim that their loved ones were put on the Pathway, either without discussion with the family, or where they might not have been dying imminently. A series of changes to the NHS Constitution announced by the Government now includes giving patients and relatives an explicit right to be consulted at every stage of end-of-life treatment, where possible. Mr Lamb added: “I have made clear that payments should be made only where it is demonstrably promoting better care.”
09 November - 15 November 2012
nurses’ time, according to a new commission, led by Lib-Dem peer Lord Willis of Knaresborough, Putting vulnerable patients in the care of “well-meaning but unreliable nursing assistants raises serious concerns about public protection”, says the report. Healthcare assistants are employed for simple tasks, like keeping patients fed and hydrated, or taking their temperature. But they are not trained to spot warning signs, such as dehydration, or rapid changes in body heat. Patients and families who do not understand the distinction between nurses and unqualified healthcare staff often seek - and follow the advice of assistants, while unaware that they have no expertise. The report recommends training all healthcare assistants to at least National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) level three - the non-academic equivalent of A-levels - to tackle the “widespread concern” about their growing presence on wards and care homes. “The commission finds it unacceptable that staff whose competence is not regulated or monitored are caring for vulnerable citizens,” stresses the report. “It is equally unacceptable that registered nurses must take responsibility for supervising colleagues, on whose competency they cannot rely.” The report, commissioned by the Royal College of Nursing, examines the training system for nurses, amid concerns about their competence and
attitude following a string of “stories of appalling care and mismanagement”. Earlier this year, one in three nurses claimed she did not have enough time to help elderly patients eat or go to the lavatory, through inadequate staffing levels. By next September, all nurses will be required to have degree-level training, which critics have claimed will result in a less-compassionate level of care on wards and in homes. The Willis Commission says there is “no evidence” of a decline in care, and describes an all-graduate nursing profession as “not simply desirable but essential”. A Department of Health spokesman said: “Public confidence is really important, but in the case of healthcare assistants, there is no evidence that compulsory regulation would lead to higher standards.”
austerity measures are likely to affect more deprived communities disproportionately. Prof Majid Ezzati, from Imperial College London, who worked on the research, said: “We have to reduce major risk-factors like smoking, and provide good health services. “This will help all sufferers through high-quality GP services and with treatment.” The experts also warn that the forthcoming devolution of public-health responsibilities to local authorities might also put some communities at risk. Dr Perviz Asaria, also involved in the study, said: “If people’s jobs are less stable, they may be forced to change their diet or drink and smoke more. “So we need to be concerned about these issues if we are to carry on bringing death-rates down.” She added: “As public health gets taken up by local authorities, there’s a danger
that health budgets will have to compete with other services, such as schools. “But it is essential that cardiovascular screening and prevention programmes do not get cut as a result.” Mubeen Bhutta, policy manager at the British Heart Foundation, said: “The overall decline in heart-disease deathrates should be something to celebrate. But, worryingly, that improvement has not benefited everyone equally. “To make a proper job of tackling England’s biggest killer, then eradicating inequalities must be at the heart of the Government’s new, cardiovascular-disease strategy.” She added: “The communities who need help the most must not be forgotten, and interventions in the poorest neighbourhoods will help address a problem which has dogged this country for decades.”

La Cava is a tasty secret
I JUMPED at the chance to write this review because this Los Cristianos restaurant is, undoubtedly, one of the bestkept secrets of south Tenerife. As you enter La Cava’s traditional, rustic-style restaurant, complete with dark-wood ceiling beams, you can’t fail to miss the warm and comfortable atmosphere. We were greeted by our friendly waiter, Ronny, who showed us to our table and gave us the menus. Of course, we started with the wine. The list was extensive, but we went with the Red Marques de Caceres 2008 Crianza, as recommended by Ronny. It was smooth and silky to drink, and went on to complement the food perfectly. The menu is a French/Czech variation, with classics such as Country Pate & Meatloaf, and specialities including “Svikova” & Brandy flambéed Chicken fillets. For starters, we opted for the Creamed Spinach Gratin and the Stuffed Vol Au Vents and, as we were waiting, we tried not to fill ourselves on the warm bread, with homemade garlic herb butter. The Creamed Spinach was, just as promised, smooth and tasty, finished with a mild grilled-cheese topping. The vol au vent comprised of tender chicken and mushroom pieces in a creamy sauce, encased in a crunchy puff-pastry vol au vent t o make a delightful contrast. Then we were on to the mains and, after much deliberation, we decided on the Prawns Bourguignon and Fillet Steak in a Béarnaise sauce. Now, I say Prawns, but these were monsters, all cleaned so there was none of that faffing-about de-shelling. And they were sautéed perfectly in a parsley, garlicand-chilli butter (we will
Page 42
definitely be keeping those Vampires away). We asked for medium-rare fillet steak, and it was cooked just right to melt in the mouth. And the sauce was made with shallots, butter and just a hint of tarragon. This came with crunchy, whole, asparagus spears, and both dishes included a sideportion of blended, buttery, mashed potatoes. Other side options such as potatoes and vegetables were also available. We finished our delicious meal with a classic chocolate mousse for dessert: light and fluffy, not too sweet and topped with cream. Unfortunately, we were so full that we shared one portion, and the ladies on the next table also recommended the ice-cream cake highly with or without the whisky! Now, here’s the thing. This little gem is open in the winter months only, so make sure you get yourself down there. Before we left, Ludo, (chef & owner) gave us a sneak peak
at the Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve menus and, wow, what a treat they have in store. Go along and try for yourself. You won’t be disappointed, but do make a reservation first on 922 790 493. The restaurant is situated up the steps from Los Cristianos harbour car park and next to the Jesus excursion shop. See advert on page 8.

British Travel Awards 2012 THE British Travel Awards (BTA) is the largest survey of public opinion on the UK travel industry and regarded as the benchmark for excellence.
Christmas Markets throughout Europe GET your festive fix this year with a selection of Christmas Markets throughout Europe. Billund, Denmark When: 13 Nov - 5 Dec Billund is the home of Danish Legoland, which throws its very own Christmas market. With the added attractions of Pirate Land and DUPLO Land on site, it’s a good one for younger kids who wouldn’t otherwise be up for wandering around in the cold, glugging mulled wine. From Tenerife there appears to be no direct flight to Billund. Bremen, Germany When: 29 Nov – 23 Dec There’s nowhere better to get fuzzy on vats of hot wine than Germany, the spiritual and commercial home of the Christmas market. The northern city of Bremen, with its market featuring medieval taverns and a life-size walkthrough advent calendar, is just a bargain budget flight away. Heart-warmingly hand-holding Christmassy moments, fuelled by warmed alcohol, are guaranteed. If Bremen is your thing them there is a direct TUI flight from here to there. Brussels and Charleroi, Belgium When: 30 Nov – 6 Jan At 2km long, with over 250 chalets selling all manner of seasonal souvenirs, plus a fairground and a constellation of Christmas lights, Brussels’ market is Belgium’s biggest. But cheap flights go to Charleroi, 45 minutes from the city centre, which has its own fabulously festive market (on 12-24 Dec),
Page 44
with a sky-scraping Christmas tree as its centrepiece. Charleroi has cheap flights to and from Tenerife South. Dusseldorf, Germany When: 22 Nov – 23 Dec If you’re flying to Dusseldorf Weeze, remember that the airport is actually 70km from the city, but anyway, a cheap flight will free up more of your budget for squandering on authentic wooden statuettes. And the ice skating is free! Take a break from eating gingerbread houses at the market with a drink in Dusseldorf’s Old Town which, with over 260 pubs, somehow claims to be ‘the world’s longest bar’. Dusseldorf has regular air connections. Amsterdam, Netherlands When: until 13 January Christmas comes early in The Netherlands. Amsterdam doesn’t just have one Christmas market, it has 26! The city’s numerous markets turn festive for the season, with added attractions like ice skating rinks at bigger ones like Leidseplein. Sample the go-to snack for the occasion: olibollen (‘Dutch doughnuts’). Don’t worry about how healthy they aren’t – oliebolen do you good as they ward off evil spirits, apparently. Gothenburg, Sweden When: tbc Daylight may be in short supply in the Swedish winter, but you’ll be tripping the light fantastic in ‘Scandinavia’s Christmas city’: 3km of illuminations line the ‘Lane of Light’, while a further five million fairy lights adorn Gothenburg’s Christmas market. Foodies are in for a treat with seasonal snacks to sustain your shopping spree at the market.
For the first time in the BTA’s history, over one million votes were cast by the all-important travelling British public with Thomas Cook winning eight awards and many further commendations. Thomas Cook scooped the important and hotlycontested Best Overall Family Holiday Company award, plus Best Overall Activity/ Sports Tour Operator for
Thomas Cook Sport and Best Cruise Holiday Retailer for Cruise Thomas Cook – its second public-voted award in as many months. The travel giant also landed Best Overall Weddings & Honeymoons Tour Operator, Best Overall Tour Operator to Southeast Asia and Best Large Operator to the Middle East for its long haul, scheduled brand Thomas Cook Signature and Best Overall Tour Operator to
Central and Northern Europe for its city break specialist tour operator, Cresta. Its ski brand, Neilson Holidays, scooped Best Medium Ski/ Winter Sports Tour Operator, too. They also received a silver commendation in the Best National Travel Retailer for Thomas Cook, with a bronze commendation in the same category for The Co-operative Travel. A further silver commendation was won in the Best Travel Insurance Provider category by Essential Travel, with two bronze commendations received in the Best Travel Agency Website for Thomas Cook, and Best Holiday Transfer Company for Transfers4u.com. Over one million votes
and opinions were cast for the British Travel Awards for the first time this year. Chief Executive of the British Travel Awards, Lorraine Barnes Burton, said: “The British Travel Awards is the largest awards programme in the UK with the winning accolade being the benchmark for excellence when it comes to finding out who really is the best in the business of travel for the UK consumer. This year we introduced a fairer system for the tour operator awards so the large companies didn’t walk away with everything and the smaller companies got a look in and this has worked very well. All winners are to be congratulated on their achievement.”

VW’s Taigun definitely going Up in the world! VOLKSWAGEN have unveiled a chunky, five-door Taigun concept at the recent Sao Paulo Motor Show in Brazil. They stole the headlines with a nifty little SUV concept, based on the up! It is called the Taigun, which is an anagram of Tiguan (a combination of tiger and iguana), and sits above it in the range. This is the machine VW believe has huge potential in the booming South American market, and the production version will be sold around the
world - including the US and the UK. Dr Ulrich Hackenberg, VW’s head of product development, says: “If I make a concept, my aim is always to put it into production, and it’s not just a dream.” The Taigun, built on a slightlystretched version of the “New Small Family” platform, is 319mm longer, 83mm wider and 81mm taller than the up!, and its wheelbase is 50mm longer. It also features a more powerful version of the 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine, already seen in the up! GT Concept. It’s turbo-charged and, with direct-injection, it produces
109bhp and 175Nm of torque, returning fuel economy of 60.1mpg, with CO2 emissions of 110g/km. Power is sent to the front wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox and, with a kerbweight of just 985kg, which is 40kg more than the entry-level up!, performance is impressive for a car of this size. The 0-62mph sprint takes 9.2 seconds, and the top speed is 116mph. And Hackenberg adds: “There will be no fourwheel-drive version. This is a city car, designed for urban driving,” Look closely at the bodywork, painted in Seaside Blue, and
there are clear indications of the up! design. The shoulder-line that kicks up above the rear wheel-arch is a feature from the up! threedoor, although the Taigun uses a five-door layout, with the rear handle hidden in the C-pillar. A wider track, boxy wheelarches, roof-rails with LED spotlights and metal scuffplates give it a genuine offroad look, despite the compact dimensions. The front end is reminiscent of the current Tiguan and Touareg, with the grille and headlights creating a horizontal bar across the front of the car. Here, though, the
designers have taken it a step further with the horizontal bars actually cutting into the clusters. At the rear, square tail-lights are echoed by twin exhausts, while there’s a Range Roverstyle split tailgate, plus the rear window, which can be opened independently. On the inside, there’s space for five passengers and a 280-litre boot, which grows to 987 litres with the rear bench folded, and that’s just a few litres larger than the Polo. Trimmed in blue cloth to match the paint, the interior has a number of innovative features, such as digital
temperature selectors built into the air-vents, a grabhandle for the front passenger and a trio of dials, including a turbo-boost pressure gauge on top of the dash. Rather than clipping into a cradle, the up!’s standard infotainment system has been integrated into the dashboard. Hackenberg says:“We have to wait to see what the reaction is to the concept, but, if it’s positive, it would take 2½ years to put into production.” And when it does make it to the showrooms, expect prices to start from around £12,000, which makes it pretty good value for money.
BMW are switching on to full power ahead THE great BMW electric revolution is underway with the unveiling of the i3 concept at their Barcelona dealers in Sant Adria de Besos. It is the company’s first electric vehicle designed from the ground up for mass production, and the car-makers have come out swinging with an innovative EV that
looks set to take the luxury market by storm. The i3 will be one of the first mass-produced vehicles in the world with a body made mostly of carbon fibre, which can shave off 550-770lbs of weight, resulting in increased all-electric range and better performance. The standard i3 will have a range of 80-100 miles, and BMW have also announced t h e i r
09 November - 15 November 2012
plans to produce a REX (range extended) version which can travel 160-200 miles on electricity alone. Their i3 electric car is capable of hitting 0-62 mph in less than eight seconds, and its high-speed charger can power the vehicle up to 80% capacity in just one hour. Its spacious interior is well equipped for daily driving
needs because it seats four and has a boot capacity of 200 litres. It also makes sustainable strides in terms of its material use - the interior is kitted out in renewable raw materials like natural fibres, and all leathers used are tanned naturally. The BMW i8 concept is a sexy, plug-in hybrid sports car, built to bring drivers high
performance thrills with a low-carbon footprint. Its drivetrain combines a modified version of the i3’s electric drive system in the front, with a highperformance, three-cylinder combustion engine that produces 220hp at the rear. This hybrid system gives the hybrid electric car impressive torque for a fast acceleration time of 0-62 mph in less than five seconds, while allowing it to travel for 20-30 miles in allelectric mode ideal for those quick trips around
town. For longer trips, the i8’s combustion engine kicks in and works with the electric drive to enable the car to travel 250-350 miles on a single tank of petrol. In terms of mileage, the i8 is able to eek out as much as 94 mpg, with customer fuel consumption expected to fall between 40.456.5mpg when driven hard. The vehicle has a low centre of gravity, an optimised 50/50 weight distribution, and an ultra-lightweight set of components, which cancel out the extra weight added by the electric drive system. The BMW i3 is set for launch next year, with the i8 released in 2014.

Fritzel stunned by the Jean genie IT was repeat or revenge in Division One as last week’s matches were reversed. And it meant that league leaders Gaffers A saw their advantage sliced to just a point as they had their last free week of the campaign. Tenerife Hammers A had little to worry about as they secured the double over Terrace Bar B 10-2. Well, that’s if you exclude Fritzel, who suffered a shock, first-set loss against Jean! Our very own Golden Glamour Girl was too strong for the former Representative player and then, remarkably, she nearly repeated her success against him a few frames later. Palms A also notched the double, also winning 10-2 at Bar La Caña. There was little to choose between Tenerife Hammers C and Terrace A a week ago, and they again had
to settle for a watertight draw on Amarilla Golf. This time, Terrace were 3-0 up, only to throw it away as the Hammers levelled and then surged ahead at 5-3. Back came the Terrace to lead 6-5 and set up another clash of the captains. And again, Tony outsmarted Adi to win the frame and shake hands on another draw. Last week, Dreamers went to Phoenix Knights and won 7-5, so it seems only right that the Knights went to Los Cristianos and got the same result! And lower down the league, The Peacocks finally recorded their third win of the season as they sneaked past Inn The Pink 7-5. It’s the fifth time “Pink” have lost that way. The top four all won in Division Two, but not as comfortably as was predicted. Leaders Next Door had to dig in against a Gaffers B team who always save their best for the top sides. Next Door got over the line 7-5,
Match Report By Geoff Huxtable OURPLACE Naturals’ hopes of taking the Division 1 title were severely dented down in Silencio after they crashed to leaders and rivals Palms Sports A. Daniel hit a maximum for the visitors during the match to help maintain their incredible run of 17 straight wins - and a goal difference
of plus-94! Rood kept up their good form with a win at Barracuda Bytes, and Gaffers enjoyed a victory at basement side Marilyns. Target Titans’ draw at Sundowners came courtesy of a last-gasp trebles leg, while Bar 180 B moved a little away from the drop-zone with a 5-3 success at Cozy Warriors. Scruffy Macs’ third defeat

CD Tenerife 1 Getafe B 1 Real Aviles 1 CD Marino 0 IT was a strange round of matches, with CD Marino’s opponents, Real Aviles, being the only side in the top six to win. This was a much better away performance from Marino, and even though it’s another defeat, it was a nice return after the 5-0 thumping in Salamanca. CD Tenerife stayed top, and undefeated, despite a tepid display in the draw with Getafe B. In fact, and being brutally honest, the visitors were the better side. In a match of few chances, they did possess the game’s outstanding player, Samuel Saiz - a youngster with a big future. Saiz, a product of the Real Madrid system, has paid his dues at this level learning his trade. He had one match in La Liga at the end of last season and is far too good for this level. He destroyed Tenerife, and every time he touched the ball, you felt something was going to happen. He was Duracell bunny as well. Every blade of grass was covered, and his touch was as good as any I have seen. He deservedly got the equaliser eight minutes from time in a five-star performance. Chechu gave Tenerife the lead 18 minutes from time and, against 10 men following Ousmane’s red card, the game seemed over. But a horror mistake from Bruno gave Samuel a chance he was never going to miss. So while it was definitely two points dropped, results later on the in day made it a point gained. But, of course, a win would have seen Tenerife five points clear. Canarian Weekly ratings CD Tenerife: Argoneses 7, Moyano 6, Bruno 5, Tarantino 7, Alvaro 6, Inigo Ros 8, Cristo Martin 5 (Chechu 7), Suso 5, Medina 6, Luismi 6 (Marti 6), Aridane 6 (Victor Bravo 5). Getafe B: Alberto 7, Jose Ruiz 6, Robin 7, Postigo 7, Mauri 6, Carles 5, Ousmane 5, Benito 6, Yacine 5, Samuel Saiz 9, Eloy 6. This weekend, Tenerife travel to over-achieving Coruxo. It’s another one of those tight, provincial grounds and Ten-
Tenerife chance goes begging!
erife will need to have their wits about them. The hosts are unbeaten at home and have conceded only six goals, which is the best in the league. Only Zamora have come away with any points, and Coruxo are having their best start to a season for a generation. Tenerife welcome back Llorente following the left-back’s suspension, while Chechu (pictured) returns to the starting line as Suso serves a onegame ban. Chechu might well have started anyway, and he is delighted with his current form. “It’s been a really good season so far,” he said. “I am pleased with the way I am playing, and the side are really doing well. “It was nice to get another goal last weekend, and I’m sure we can get another good result on Sunday.” Off the field, problems have
09 November - 15 November 2012
been dominating the stories this week. Two massive sides in this standard are on the brink of going bust. Albacete need to find 500,000 euros in a week, and then a further 3m euros or they are toast. Real Oviedo are in an even worse state. But a high-profile share issue is paying dividends. Stars such as Raul and Lionel Messi have all put their hands in their pockets to try to save the historic side. Finally, Tenerife manager Alvaro Cervera is a wanted man. This week, Osasuna fired their manager, Jose Mendilibar, and Cervera is said to be favourite to replace him. La Liga is La Liga and Osasuna, who have former Tenerife favourites Nino and Marc Betran in their squad, have the side to stay up. But Cervera seems settled in Santa Cruz after a horrific few years and, hopefully, he will see the bigger picture and stay.

Horoscopes of the week Scorpio
(October 24th-November 22nd) The current line-up is going to be making it easy for friends to let you down, so leave all arrangements loose and you will not end up feeling dejected. Love is in the air and will be offering you some ambitious plans, which may mean you acquiring a new look. S AG I T TA R I U S (November 23rdDecember 21st) There is not a lot of organisation evident in your chart, so you may find yourself mislaying things of importance. If there is something you have to remember to do, then write it down for your own sake - and so that you do not blemish the professional image superiors have of you C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) New ways to do your job put you back in the driving seat. Don’t feel disheartened if you find yourself going over work you have already done. Better to go back over your efforts than to have them rejected completely. You can always find a positive side, and for you, that will be in making your work spot-on instead of just acceptable. AQUARIUS (January 21st-February 19th) Don’t be pushed into arguments with loved ones. Stop and ask yourself if you really mean the words that are on the tip of your tongue. If you can have patience with them, they are sure to show you how much they appreciate it with a surprise that should arrive in the coming week. PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) You may not realise it, but you will not be the kindest or most patient of people over the coming days, so the old method of counting to 10 is going to be your best bet if you want to
Page 48
be sure of a harmonious week. Have faith in a friend. What that person tells you is not just malicious gossip. ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) You must prepare yourself for things not going entirely to plan over the coming days. Flirtations get more than a little interesting midweek. Try to get any important tasks out of the way at the weekend so that you don’t spend the rest of next week worrying about things that are clearly not in your control. TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) Stop looking to others for advice because the truth is that you alone have the answers you are seeking. Try to take your time when making new friends, and don’t let them know everything about your past. They are unlikely to have told you everything about theirs! Besides, a little mystery can add fun to the melting pot. GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) The actions you take at this time are unlikely to be forgotten in a hurry. You may be best to leave any short-cuts until the stars are feeling more accommodating. Don’t be too quick to join in the slander which friends are dishing out about a newcomer because they are likely to have misjudged the person, as you will soon find out. CANCER (June 22nd-July 23rd) The past is more relevant right now, and you may be
spending too much of your time trying to figure out where one particular relationship went wrong. Paperwork is more important than usual, as is keeping a professional attitude. Slow down with your thought process for few days, or you could end up making a decision you cannot reverse. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Someone from your past is back, but for all the wrong reasons, and don’t pretend that you don’t know everyone is talking about you. You even seem to be proud of what is happening in your life, but take heed because those who appear to approve aren’t saying as much behind your back. So make sure your actions are ones you are personally satisfied with. VIRGO (August 24th-September 23rd) Over recent months, your life does not seem to be taking the direction in which you had hoped. However, this is a time for planning and not for doing, because life is giving us all a bit of a bumpy ride. But by watching and listening, you can turn everything to your advantage, so think positive LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) You are suddenly irresistible to new faces. Be careful, though, as offers galore come your way and make it difficult for you to make a true decision. Be prepared for a few delays because someone you still owe an apology to is still waiting, and the sooner you make it the sooner, you’ll learn that person’s secret.
