Peace Park’s Gandhi statue Continued from Front It is a huge honour for the borough, and for its large Hindu community, and Venkatesh Varma, the Indian Ambassador to Spain, met Adeje Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga in the Town Hall.

The Mayor was host to the Ambassador, while local Hindu representatives, among the hundreds who live in Adeje and other parts of South Tenerife, were also invited to the Town Hall.

It really was a heart-warming occasion for the Mayor, and Ambassador Varma referred to the borough’s continuous assistance in the integration of the Hindu community, and of all those who come to live in Adeje.

He also informed the

gathering, proudly, that his Government would be donating a Gandhi sculpture to the borough.

“For us, it is an immense honour that one of our most important icons, a man who was a standard-bearer for human values and the fight for peace, will have

a place in Adeje,” said the Ambassador.

Rodríguez Fraga also invited the Ambassador, and a small group, to visit the site where the Peace Park will be located, in El Madroñal, and where the statue will stand.

The Mayor said: “It is a

great honour to host this visit of the Ambassador,” adding that the local Hindu community were marked by their levels of participation and integration in all the social and cultural life of the borough.

“And they have helped us promote our objective of creating a town where social harmony, peace and co-existence are the pillars of our identity.”

Adeje is home to more than 700 people of Indian birth, with over 3,000 Indians living in South Tenerife.

And, said the Mayor: “They take part in activities to do with their own culture, as well as becoming a part of our local culture.”

The Ambassador, who signed the official visitors’

book, also expressed his sadness at the latest terrorist attacks, and contributed to the book of condolences outside the Town Hall.

He was, he said, speaking on behalf of the Indian Government in passing on those condolences.

Present at the official reception were members of different Hindu associations, Adeje councillors for the presidency, institutional relations, and patrimony, Carmen Rosa González, Zebenzui Chinea and Desiderio Afonso. During the welcome, the Mayor and the Ambassador exchanged gifts and, afterwards, visited emblematic areas of the town on a memorable day for everyone involved.

Meeting of Muslims condemns terrorists

SOUTH Tenerife’s Muslim community came together, publicly, on Wednesday, to repudiate terrorism and demonstrate their solidarity stand with the victims of the deadly Barcelona attack last week.

Over 100 people took part in the Los Cristianos event, outside the Cultural Centre, holding banners (translated) stating: “Not in my name”, “United for peace”, “ISIS don’t

represent us”, “I’m Muslim, I’m not a terrorist”, “Solidarity with Barcelona” and “Islam isn’t terrorism”.

These banners and statements had also been declared by even larger Muslim gatherings in Barcelona and Madrid in recent days.

This latest gathering was a quiet, dignified protest against terrorism, and speakers from the Islamic Federation of the Canaries, including Tijani Minoum, spoke of their unity with the local communities here and in Barcelona.

Many held Spanish and Canarian flags, and many

hugged young children close to them as a one-minute silence was observed.

A few hours before this event, a special Catholic Mass was held at La Laguna cathedral in memory of the tragic victims.

The organisers said they wanted to make it clear that those who acted in the name of what they called “Islamic State” did not, in any way, represent their religion. They also called for peace and mutual understanding.

Adeje Imam Tijani El Boujio said: “Sadly, these attacks are perpetrated in the name of our religion.

But, in reality, they have nothing to do with the true essence of Islam.”

Earlier this summer, more than 2,000 Muslim residents

came together in Las Americas to celebrate the end of Ramadan, and they also condemned terrorist acts.

Girl’s false rape claim

A TEENAGER, who issued a denuncia about being raped after attending an Adeje music festival earlier this month, has retracted her statement and left herself in trouble.

The 19-year-old has told the Guardia Civil that she had consensual sex with a man, and that she could have left at any time. She also said she’d had a row with her partner earlier that evening.

The girl has been charged with making a false rape claim, and a file has been submitted to the courts.

Waste-collection firm riddle speeds up the process Jewel-theft

THE theft of jewellery worth around 300,000 euros, from a well-known entrepreneur’s Adeje home, is being investigated by the Guardia Civil.

The robbery, staged at the end of July, was carried out by three masked individuals, who turned the security cameras to face the wall once they broke into the villa.

They went straight to the safe containing the family jewels, opening it with a key.

They then ransacked the other rooms, as if hunting for cash.

Guardia officers believe the thieves had inside information on the property’s security system, and had also been provided with a key to the safe.

Cops arrest

gunman THE company hired

by Adeje Council to collect organic and recycled waste, UTE Ascan Torrabonaf, has strengthened its waste-collection fleet.

It has also provided details of the service improvements scheduled for the rest of the year, including 16 new lorries, four road-sweeping vehicles and two waterpressure lorries.

The service will also introduce new recycling collectors, complete with a new energy-efficient, timesaving system, which will cut the turn-around from 10 minutes to three.

These ‘Dule-System’ machines allow the trained operator to work from the

vehicle’s cabin in a more efficient manner, collecting from both sides of the streets.

Municipal Services Councillor Carmen Rosa González Cabrera said: “The collection vehicles also work at a much lower noise level.”

Up to 500 new, larger wastecontainers are also being installed throughout the borough: 350 will be for separated waste (paper, glass and plastics), and 150 for organic waste.

In addition, 45 will be used as pedal-operated, underground containers, with an automatic shutter to reduce atmospheric smells, the latter primarily in tourist zones.

Some 400 of the existing containers in the municipal rubbish zones will be replaced or repaired.

In residential areas, the company will increase the number of selective, recycling islands to 100, and they can all be found via geo-localisation, using the Adeje Council app.

In this way, residents can pinpoint their nearest recycling point.

Adeje Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga also pointed to the excellent adaption by residents to recycling habits, adding that the need to increase the number of collection points was to meet the demands of the public.

Adeje, according to figures referred to by the borough’s Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, has an excellent recycling record and is one of the top three towns in the Canaries in this regard. But there is always

room for improvement. “We have to remember that we don’t just live in our home; we live in the plaza and in the street” he said, referring to the need to maintain good habits outside, as well as inside, the home.

Francisco Valino, of UTE Ascan Torrabonaf, said that people often forget about the work needed to manage rubbish collections effectively. “It’s an invisible service for residents,” he added. “The rubbish is put out at night and gone in the morning.”

He also referred to the success of the borough’s recycling system, saying the various coloured containers were seldom vandalised, if at all. “Most of those we placed in 2008 are still in place and still usable,” he said proudly.

… and an extra rubbish service REGULAR (organic) waste is collected after 1am every night from the streets and rubbish sheds throughout the borough of Adeje.

But Ascan Torrebonaf, the company which runs the municipal rubbish collection service, also operates a separate collection service for larger items, such as furniture, household goods, items under 50kg, etc.

These should be left by the usual collection points on the relevant Tuesday night. But the service does not include industrial waste, or rubble

from building works.

If you wish to contact the offices directly to inquire about a pick-up, or find out whether your particular item of furniture can be included, call 922 711 989. You will probably need someone with you who speaks Spanish.

Collection details 1st Wednesday of the month *Tijoco Alto, Taucho, La Quinta, Las Moraditas, La Concepción, Tijoco Bajo, Los Menores, La Hoya, Las Rosas and Charco del Valle.

2nd Wednesday *Armeñime, Iboybo, Callao

Punto Limpio The Punto Limpio, just beside the Atalaya roundabout and opposite

the Animal rescue centre, is an installation for depositing electrical goods (TVs fridges, etc), and household goods, but not for industrial or dangerous waste.

Opening hours Tuesday-Friday, 8am-8pm Saturdays, 9am-8pm.

Sundays, 9am-2pm.

Recycling containers These are emptied on a regular basis, but if you are aware of a container that needs collecting, call the company on 922 711 989, requesting they do so as soon as possible.

A MAN wielding a shotgun was captured on Tuesday morning in Santa Cruz, after shooting another man in the foot and scarpering.

Libertad blows in!

THE frigate ARA Libertad, used as a training ship by the Argentine Navy, docked in Santa Cruz on Wednesday morning.

AENA threaten chaos for its plane travellers

Police nab

axeman

THE National Police have arrested a 47-year-old Spanish man, suspected of attempted murder by assaulting a person with an axe and a knife in La Laguna.

FLIGHT passengers in Spain could be hit by huge delays after three main unions announced a round of strikes, starting from 15th September, across all 46 AENA-operated airports.

The company, which manages 46 airports and two heliports, saw 230.2 million passengers pass through its airports last year, producing a net profit of 1,164m euros.

The 24-hour work stoppages, spread over 25 days, are said to be taking place from 15th September to 30th December.

Planned strikes September: 15, 17, 22,

24, 29 October: 1, 6, 11, 15, 27, 30, 31 November: 3, 5 December: 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 The AENA group’s union representatives have threatened strikes since May if their repeated salary demands, and their calls for an employment plan, were not answered before midAugust.

Illegal campers evicted

THE Guardia Civil’s Nature Protection Unit has evicted more than 30 people, living illegally in campervans and tents, stretching from Playa de las Burras, Las Galletas to Punta Negra, Puerto de Santiago.

Just six of the people living in the camp-sites were present at the time, said Unit officers.

Arona Council’s cleaning unit removed more than one ton of materials, such as hazardous and toxic waste, metal, wood and plastic, all dumped along the coastline.

This area is in the public domain and also forms part of the Natura 2000 Network, and is protected by the Costas.

During the eviction, a dog and her two new-born puppies were found, but not an owner, so Arona Town Hall collected them.

If the strikes go ahead, they will have a devastating affect on Spain’s busy national bank holidays in October, November and December, including the Christmas period.

It happened when the Spaniard attacked the man, outside his Carretera de Valle Tabares house, with various weapons.

He caused several injuries to his victim, but a number of people accompanying the axeman stopped the assault and fled.

Later that day the police, conducting a routine control check in Santa Cruz, stopped the suspect because he had blood stains on his clothes.

After verifying his identity, he was arrested immediately. And after searching his vehicle, officers also seized various, concealed weapons.

Man, 36, held for grooming minors

Small lift for Spain’s fluctuating economy

THE Eurozone is officially out of its long-running financial crisis, a decade after the first signs of recession began to bite.

A MAN in Gran Canaria capital Las Palmas, suspected of grooming minors over Facebook, has been arrested by the National Police.

The 36-year-old was believed to have created up to three fake profiles, posing as a minor, on the popular social network.

And, through these, he was able to exchange sexuallyorientated photos.

After police analysed the fake profiles, up to 15 under-age girls he had contacted were identified, one being offered 500 euros in exchange for sex.

The investigation began

after this particular youngster denounced receiving this message via Facebook chat.

The fraudulent profiles seized by the National Police had all been created and managed from the same IP address. And Internet Protocol, which, logically, identifies certain information, enabled them to arrest the suspect.

During a house search, the cops seized two laptops, an external hard-drive, three USB sticks and a mobile phone, which are being analysed by the technical forensic unit.

Child pornography was also discovered on one of the seized laptops, shared through p2p (peer to peer).

Dozy hotel thief

A THIEF was nabbed by the Guardia Civil on Sunday after breaking into a hotel in El Médano, and falling asleep there!

He forced his way into the reception area, stole 100 euros from the cash register and took two room keys.

An employee found the 27-year-old man sleeping in one of the rooms and called the authorities immediately.

And it is moving rapidly and consistently forward, according to official statistics. Even Greece is recovering, while Spain’s economy is beginning to grow, via the job market, although family finances still have a long way to catch up.

All in all, though, economic recovery in the 19 countries using the common currency is, as a bloc, on the up again - at last!

Eurostat figures show that year-on-year growth stands at 2.1%, with the economy increasing at 0.5% in the first quarter of 2017 and 0.6% in the second quarter.

Jobless figures in the 19 nations are said to be at their “lowest-ever” since the continent’s real nosedive in 2009.

And the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has already reported that Italy, Germany, France and Spain are doing better than they had believed originally.

The downside is that the European Central Bank (ECB) may now review its monetary policies, since growth has been fuelled by bond purchases and rockbottom interest rates.

And low interest rates mean Eurozone mortgages have been at their lowestever in the last five or six years, which is a huge help to improving the health of household finance.

The ECB could begin to make major, monetary, policy decisions as early as the autumn, although inflation right now is too low for any drastic interest hikes.

At 1.3%, it still sits way below the 2% Eurozone target and is, frequently, the result of a weakened economic structure.

Spain, one of the weakest Eurozone economies during the crisis, grew

0.9% in the second quarter of 2017 through higher consumer spending and increases in exports, making it one of the fastest-growing in the 19 nations.

In fact, current figures from the National Institute of Statistics (INE) suggest Spain’s economy is now back to where it was prior to the recession, from which the country began to suffer in 2008.

Forecasts for Spain’s growth this year sit at 1.6%, and it looks as though it will meet its target because exports are on the up and unemployment is down.

It has gone from approximately 25% to 17.2%, although, at present, this is largely because of summer tourism work - and the jobless figures are likely to rise again next month.

Also, Spain’s seasonal employment, temporary jobs and the minimum wage-paying culture continues.

That means many of the new positions created are just for three or six months, and, in a high number of cases, less than a week, with long periods on the dole in between.

This is particularly the case for areas relying heavily on summer tourism for their economy, such as the east and south coast, together with the Canary and Balearic Islands.

On the Costa Blanca, roughly 99% of new jobs created in May or June will have been snuffed out by September or October, if the pattern of the past few years continues.

Meanwhile, within the EU but outside the Eurozone, UK economic growth has slackened, the last six months having been the weakest in five years.

Although the British service sector grew by 0.5%, the only element that fuelled any growth, the manufacturing industry has shrunk by 0.4%, and that of construction by 0.9%.

And, as a whole, the GDP increased by just 0.3% in the second quarter of 2017, yet was still up on the first quarter’s 0.2%.

But, per capita, GDP growth was just 0.1%, or, once changes in population had been taken into account, only onethird of the gross figure.

While economies in the European Union and the Eurozone are showing fast growth and picking up strength, the UK is showing a reverse trend.

GDP has continued to grow for the last 18 quarters, but this growth is now well below that of Europe, and under onethird of that of Spain.

The British Office of National Statistics (ONS) calls UK economic results for the year so far “a notable slowdown”, while Ranko Berich, Market Analysis boss at Monex Europe, says: “The overall picture for 2017 is grim.”

This is largely through falling investment, reduced consumer spending through austerity and wage stagnation, and a falling pound sterling which, although it has encouraged exports, means the UK’s imports, which far exceed exports, are now more expensive, again leading to consumerspending cuts as families tighten their belts because of higher living costs.

And with the falling euro rate against the pound sterling, now below 1.10, and down from 1.20 euros at the beginning of the year, British expat pensioners in Spain and elsewhere in the EU are feeling the pinch.

But most recognise they would not be able to live on their income in the UK at all, while in Spain they can at least “get by”, even though nonessentials might have to be sacrificed.

Y O U N E S Abouyaaqoub, the terrorist who ploughed a van into tourists and residents in Las Ramblas, central Barcelona last Thursday, was shot dead on Monday by Catalan police officers in Subirats, some 30km west of the Catalan capital.

The Islamic State murderer (pictured), who had targeted hundreds of pedestrians in the van, killed a seven-year-old British boy, Julian Cadman, and 13 other innocent people.

But an explosive belt Abouyaaqoub had been wearing was proved to be a fake, after a bomb-disposal robot inspected his body, lying on the ground.

Police received a tip-off about the 22-year-old from a local resident, after photos of him were made public that morning. But for several hours, however, police would only confirm that a man had been shot.

The names of all suspects and victims were later made public, following the terrorist attacks late last Thursday and in the early hours of Friday morning, in Barcelona and Cambrils, in the Tarragona province.

All terrorists connected with the massacre are now dead or in jail, while the 15 tragic victims identified included five Spaniards.

Driss Oukabir, 28, is in custody, even though he went to the police voluntarily to say he had not been involved. He was adamant his ID and other documents had been stolen by his teenage brother, Moussa, to rent three vehicles used in the attacks.

Moussa, 17, was one of five terrorists shot dead by police in Cambrils, along with Saïd Aalla, 18; Mohammed Hychami, 24, and two other unnamed men.

As well as Driss, 34-yearold Sahal el-Karib and Mohammed Aalla, 27, thought to be the brother of Saïd, are in custody, along with a fourth man.

He was captured in the town of Alcanar, where a fatal, mass explosion enabled police to identify the 12 suspects believed to be involved in the two attacks. Most of them lived in the village of Ripoll, in the Girona province.

The self-proclaimed “Islamic State”, or DAESH, has claimed responsibility for the attack, cheering

25th August - 31st August 2017

Final terrorist killed, and Barcelona is left to mourn its victims

The self-proclaimed “Islamic State”, or DAESH, has claimed responsibility for the attack, cheering on its “soldiers”, as it calls them. on its “soldiers”, as it calls them.

Five Spaniards are among the deceased, including a man from Rubí, Barcelona province, and the threeyear-old son of his wife’s niece. He was the youngest victim, and one of five children killed.

A Belgian woman, two Italians and a Portuguese woman are also known

to have died, along with 43-year-old American Jared Tucker. He was on honeymoon with his wife, Heidi Nunes, when the van ran into him as they relaxed at a pavement café on Las Ramblas.

Ian Moore Wilson and his son, a policeman from Vancouver, Canada, are said to have died, while Ian’s wife, Valerie, was seriously

injured. Four Australians were also hurt.

Several Brits, at least 13 Germans, 26 French nationals, plus tourists from Ireland, The Netherlands, Greece, Austria, Romania, Pakistan, Algeria, Central and South America and south-east Asia were among the 35 nationalities known to be injured.

Police were said to be searching for a second white van, which, it later transpired, they suspected was filled with explosives.

But it was found in Vic, to the north of Barcelona, with nothing dangerous inside it.

The Cambrils attack was carried out by a hired Audi A3 at around 1am on Friday, leaving six people injured, of whom a woman died in hospital hours later.

Police say the Audi overturned and five terrorists got out, wearing what appeared to be suicide bombing vests. Officers shot them all down, killing four outright, including Moussa Oukabir. A fifth died later from his injuries while in custody.

Security forces confirmed that the two attacks were linked, and that shooting

the Audi occupants prevented a much greater tragedy.

Driss and Moussa, from Ripoll, are said to hold joint Moroccan and Spanish nationality, despite having been born in Marseille, southern France.

The suspects are said to be Moroccan, originally, with one Spaniard, from the cityprovince of Melilla on the northern Moroccan coast.

The Alcanar house, which blew up on the Wednesday night, leaving seven injured and one dead, was used as a base for the terrorists.

It was stocked full of gas bottles and other explosives, many of which were ready for the Barcelona and Cambrils attacks, and, possibly, several simultaneous ones in both towns.

But the Alcanar explosion wiped out their weapons, which meant they were forced to use cruder means for the attacks, by driving into pedestrians.

Police believe that the blast thwarted what could have been a huge tragedy, on the scale of Paris in November 2015.

But despite the appalling attacks on Barcelona and Cambrils, the Spanish Government will not increase its terror alert level from 4 to the 5 maximum… for now, anyway.

‘Reformed’ restaurant owner must still pick a pocket or two

NEWS IN BRIEF Fish and chips? That’ll Big bang commotion

be 120 euros please sir!

A HUGE explosion, set off by fuses blowing last Sunday afternoon in a shop in Centro Comercial Castillo, caused a commotion among passers-by in the Santa Cruz area.

A neighbour called emergency services after hearing a loud noise and experiencing a strong, burning odour.

Local Police, National Police and firefighters were dispatched to the scene, and that section of Calle Castillo was cordoned off. Thankfully, it was all down to blown fuses only, and there were no injuries.

Motorway bus burned

A PRIVATE bus from Transportes Fumero was destroyed by flames last Sunday night on the TF-5, near the North Airport, but no one was hurt.

The bus driver tried to extinguish the engine fire, to no avail, and it eventually engulfed the vehicle.

Forest firebugs arrested

GUARDIA Civil officers have arrested three people in Coruña, alleged to have started 41 forest fires in Galicia, northern Spain.

In what is known as “Operation Antorchas”, a 53-year-old man was held in Messina for, it is believed, starting 28 fires.

They all began within a few metres of inhabited dwellings, with serious risk to people, and the man was carrying four lighters when arrested.

Another two people, aged 20 and 21, from the towns of Carrizal-Coristanco and Sixto-Carballo, and said to be responsible for an additional 13 forest fires, were also nabbed

by Guardia officers.

Dog survives arrow wound

A CALLOUS Valencia man was arrested for shooting a dog with a bow and arrow. It was found by its owner, collapsed in a pool of blood outside his house.

A vet’s X-ray revealed an arrow-head lodged within its body, and, so severe was the injury, an operation was needed.

Guardia Civil officers, who called at a nearby farm, discovered that the 38-year-old resident had caught the dog trespassing on his property, and shot it with a hunting bow.

He was arrested and will be charged with cruelty and mistreatment of a domestic animal. Happily, the unfortunate dog is making a good recovery.

What’s in a name? Fortunes in Lisbon

CORREEIROS Street, in the centre of Lisbon, is known for its popular restaurants, where waiters step into the street and drum up business by offering menus in half-adozen languages, with large photos and cheap prices.

True, Correeiros has some good restaurants, such as João do Grão, where you can get an excellent cod and chips for 9.90 euros.

But there are others, which charge a staggering 120 euros… if tourists aren’t paying attention.

Various consumer associations have, for a year, been receiving complaints from customers about the Made in Correeiros restaurant for charging 120 euros for a simple cod dish and 250 euros for a seafood platter, containing clams, shrimp, squid and mussels.

There are a couple of other restaurants on the same street which also have surprise prices, such as Obrigado Lisboa. The practices of the restaurants are legal, says DECO, the Government authority which manages these issues, because the prices are on the menu, albeit hidden!

The scam always works the same way. The tourist looks at the menu and

sees reasonable prices and relaxes. Then the waiter offers the daily specials, emphasising their “freshness”.

Tourists don’t realise their mistake until it’s time to pay. When they complain, a menu appears, mysteriously, containing those dishes listed with the prices they hadn’t seen before.

But if DECO can’t do much, it seems that social media can. TripAdvisor and other websites warn others about the scam at the “worst restaurant in the world”, as one Made in Correerios customer described it.

While the Internet can move quickly, the owner of these restaurants can move even faster, renaming his restaurants rapidly, or simply closing them.

Made in Correeiros used to be called Portugal no Prato, while Obrigado Portugal used to be Rio Ceira, which was also hammered online.

There are other restaurants on the same street with no name and a similar aesthetic: various pictures of the dishes on the street and visible prices seen in many languages.

And, would you believe it, the bad reputation of Made in Correeiros in the media caused its name to disappear from its awning this week.

From time to time, rumours among waiters from different establishments can ruin a business, and that can be contagious.

According to an investigation by respected Portuguese newspaper Observador, the man behind the restaurants scamming tourists is José Cardoso, or Xula, a former pickpocket in the Baixa neighbourhood, where he has several restaurants.

He was a well-known pickpocket in the 1990s, famous for his number of arrests. Yet despite being charged in 40 cases, he was never convicted.

According to the police, he led a group of thieves who worked in the subway and on the famous tram 28, most used by tourists. From 2009, with the increase in metro security, Xula focused solely on the tram. But in 2012, he found a bigger, more respectable source of income.

And since 2012, Xula has expanded his business to at least three restaurants, in which, besides charging 250 euros for a seafood platter, they also charge anywhere from 15-50 euros for a beer, ordered by people, typically, who never look at the price.

The Lisbon authority has carried out health inspections in Xulu’s establishments, but all have passed without any issues.

But it goes without saying that the word has spread, and tourists are now starting avoid the popular Correeiros Street.

Sadly, it’s too late for those diners who have well and truly had their chips!

FAMILIES returning home from overseas holidays to Manchester, were shocked to discover their cars had been stolen from a “meetand-greet” airport parking company.

At least four cars had been taken from a depot, which boasts top security, along with keys from 130 other vehicles.

One owner, who left her house keys and insurance papers with her address in the car, was also victim of an attempted robbery.

Sultan Khan, boss of the firm, based near Manchester Airport, said: “Seven weeks ago, an organised gang came into this area and started nicking car keys. Now, they’re on-site every night, trying to steal cars.”

Quad-bikers’ poor break

Larger fines for poor festival-safety chiefs?

SPAIN’S festival promoters are demanding bigger fines for safety breaches, following high-profile incidents in the country this summer.

The death of an acrobat at Madrid’s Mad Cool, and a fire that sent 20,000

revellers fleeing from Barcelona’s Tomorrowland, have raised concerns over the country’s 1,000 annual festivals.

“Above all, fines for not complying with the rules need to be raised,” said security expert José Luis Gómez. “The current penalties are not dissuasive.

“If a businessman wants to break the law, the first

thing he does is calculate how much a fine will cost him. If the gain is greater than the fine, it’s worth it for him.”

However, one promoter, Albert Salmerón, said that despite recent high-profile incidents, such cases were “minimal”.

He added: “Festivals are secure and follow very strict rules with evacuation plans.”

Aunque Pepo Márquez, spokesperson for the musicindustry’s trade union, the USM, said some festivals might be saving money on security.

“Contracting people on double shifts, for example,” he pointed out. “There are security staff who spend 12 hours a day on their feet, and then, when you demand 100% from them, they can’t do it.”

Human bones found in mountainous area OFFICERS from the Guardia Civil worked from early on Monday to unearth more of the human remains, found the previous afternoon, on Gran Canaria.

A hunter, who notified emergency services at midday last Sunday, told them his dog had uncovered bones, which appeared to

be from a human, in the mountain area of Temisas. After an inspection, officers found a skull and informed their foren-

sic doctor and coroner.

They also discovered another skull, and almost a whole body next to personal belongings, buried in the

same area. Once all the remains have been removed, the forensic team will be able to identify them and check whether they are

showing signs of a violent death.

The court has ordered confidentiality over the judicial investigation.

Canarian drowning

Mum’s tragic death A MOTHER, who had just given birth, died in a horrific manner when she was, literally, cut in half by a faulty hospital lift in Seville on Sunday.

A PENSIONER drowned on Playa de Quintanilla in Gran Canaria on Tuesday afternoon after struggling, 15 metres from the shore.

Lifeguards rescued the unconscious 78-year-old man from the water and took him ashore.

Paramedics performed CPR because he was in cardiac arrest, but he failed to respond and they could only confirm his death.

Three people hit by driver

Rocio Cortes Nunez’s baby had just been delivered by C-section, and she and her new daughter were being taken to Valme Hospital’s maternity ward together when tragedy struck.

Fortunately, the baby was unharmed.

At around 2.30pm, a hospital porter went to change lifts after the door on the first one opened and closed twice without any movement from the lift, according to her family.

But while the stretcher carrying Rocio and baby was still half in the original lift, it started moving upwards and the porter was unable to pull it, or the woman, to safety.

It took horrified firefighters two hours to reach the mother, and they confirmed that she was

cut in half completely.

Staff at the scene did all they could to save the woman, but she died from her injuries.

Rocio’s brother-in-law, David Gaspar, said: “It’s incredible. We still can’t believe what’s happened.

Something has to happen… this cannot go unpunished.”

Tragic Rocio had two other daughters, aged three and four.

Junta Health Minister Marina Alvarez called the accident “quick, unusual and tragic”. She added that the lift had been checked on 12th August, and announced an immediate investigation.

Gender violence in the spotlight again A SPANISH man and woman were arrested by the Guardia Civil in Fuerteventura on Monday, after the car she was driving (without a licence) ran into a group of three people.

It happened in the Morro

Jable port at 6pm, where the woman was having a driving lesson, with the man’s assistance.

Unfortunately, she lost control of the car and ran into an elderly woman and two minors, who were sitting on a bench.

She then drove the vehicle off the dock into the sea.

Paramedics attended the woman and children, who suffered minor injuries.

False ‘bomb’ alarm

AN unattended rucksack forced authorities to cordon off a section of calle Luis Doreste Silva, in Las Palmas, on Tuesday, fearing it could contain explosives.

Thankfully, it was a false alarm because the bag had been left behind by mistake.

The Canarian Police headquarters says this is the protocol for any suspicious, unattended package, to try to prevent a major incident.

Juana Rivas, centre, at a press conference before going AWOL

SPAIN’S genderviolence issue has led to a major campaign in the country recently, and the case of Juana Rivas and her two children is the latest to hit the news.

Spanish-born Juana, who married an Italian she met in London while studying English, had two children subsequently.

They finally settled in Sardinia, but she returned to Spain late last year, taking

their two children without her husband’s agreement.

That’s because she claimed he had attacked her mentally and physically, and also abused the oldest son.

Her partner obtained a court order in Granada, which required her to hand over the two children, but she immediately disappeared.

It is not known where they are living, although she has just released a photograph of herself and the two children.

Juana is now the subject of a nationwide hunt, facing up to four years imprison-

ment. But her supporters insist there is evidence of abuse, and she is doing what any mother would do to protect her children.

The father denies abuse, even though he pleaded guilty to assaulting her eight years ago. And, unsurprisingly, he blames the media and her supporters for painting him in an exceptionally bad light.

In the meantime, supporters have been displaying placards and posting notes on social media stating: “Juana esta en mi casa” (Juana is in my house).

Swimmer makes a non-splash protest Jet fighter shadows harmless UK plane

A SPANISH swimmer sacrificed his chance of World Championship glory to honour the victims of the terror attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils.

Fernando Alvarez, from Cadiz, asked organisers

of the Budapest Masters World Championship to hold a minute’s silence.

But his request was refused by the International Swimming Federation (FINA), so he took matters into his own hands.

When his fellow competitors in the 200m breaststroke dived into the pool to set the race in motion, Fernando

remained on the starting block for 60 seconds.

Afterwards, the Spaniard said that honouring the victims was more important “than if I win all the gold medals in the world”.

Alvarez added: “They told me it was not possible because they couldn’t waste a minute, so I started a minute later. But I do not mind.”

PASSENGERS on Jet2’s flight LS1204, from Malaga to Birmingham, some of whom were terrified, couldn’t believe their aircraft was being shadowed closely by a fighter jet flying alongside for up to 15 minutes last Friday afternoon.

Sarah Hatfield, a bank worker from the West Midlands, travelling with husband Ian and 13-yearold daughter Emily, said: “It was so close, I could read the writing on its tail fin.

The feeling on board was a mixture of excitement at seeing the fighter so close up, and terror about the thought of being shot down.”

Emily took several photos of the military fighter through the Jet2 aircraft’s window to show its close proximity.

Her mother added: “Someone spotted the French jet and told the cabin crew, who, I presume, told the pilots.

“The air stewardess then announced that there was nothing to worry about. But Ian was terrified, and it didn’t help that loads of other passengers came by us to look out at it.”

Low-cost carrier Jet2 said it was awaiting confirmation from French aviation officials about why Flight LS1204 was, apparently, tracked by the French air force on Friday afternoon.

A Jet2 spokesperson said: “We are awaiting clarification from the French airtraffic authorities.”

Burning ship is now a ticking time-bomb

MARITIME services are facing a frantic rush to bring a British cargo ship, carrying tonnes of deadly ammunition, under control following a huge explosion.

The 190-metre bulk carrier Cheshire burst into flames off the coast of Gran Canaria nearly a fortnight ago.

It was heading for Thailand from Norway, with

40,000 tons of ammonium nitrate, when the crew discovered a fire in the cargo hold.

The skipper tried frantically to divert to Las Palmas, but authori-

ties refused entry of the bulk carrier fearing the ship could go up in flames at any time.

And on 14th August the hold exploded and the 24-strong crew were

evacuated by two helicopters.

Although the ship is drifting away from the coast of the Canary Islands, maritime reports suggest the vessel is still a “ticking time-bomb” and could explode again at any moment. The carrier is still thought to be too hot for crews to board, and toxic fumes billowing from inside the ship means nothing has yet been done to bring the blaze under control.

It is feared that the nitrous oxide could cause

another explosion if exposed to high temperatures, so it is important the on-board fire is brought under control swiftly.

There are three ships guarding the Cheshire from a safe distance, and a fourth ship, bearing a Moroccan flag, also arrived in the area last weekend to help bring the vessel under control.

But the skippers have been advised to maintain a good distance from the Cheshire, to avoid a disaster.

Macarena youngster dancing into trouble A TEENAGER has been arrested in Saudi Arabia, after footage of him dancing to the popular Macarena song on a busy Jeddah street went viral.

The unnamed 14-year-old is being questioned after being accused of “improper public behaviour”, said a statement.

It is not yet clear what his nationality is, or whether he will be charged officially.

The clip shows the youngster disrupting traffic while performing the dance to the popular Spanish song, which topped charts around the world in 1995.

The lack of codified law in Saudi Arabia means officials and judges, when dishing out punishments, have a broad scope.

Social-media users have branded the teen a “hero”, while many in the country have called his actions “immoral”.

Macarena is a Spanish dance song by Los del Río, a double singing act from Sevilla, about a woman of the same name.

It was an international hit in 1995, 1996, and 1997, and continues to be a popular dance at weddings, parties and sporting events.

Facebook’s partial closure

F A C E B O O K appears to have stopped working for many people in Spain, the UK and other parts of northern Europe, especially for those on laptops, desktop computers and the Google Chrome internet browser.

The Down Detector website reports that many people have been greeted with blank pages on the site because of a technical problem.

It appears, mainly, to have hit people trying to get on Facebook via Google Chrome, but you can often bring the site back to life easily by forcing a computer to reload the page.

This can usually be achieved by holding down CTRL + F5 on the keyboard.

The problem appears to be focused in the UK and northern Europe, according to Down Detector’s outage map.

But that could simply be because of time zones, which means that more users in particular regions are currently online.

Healthcare helper ‘injected air’ into veins of pensioner

A WOMAN who has been working as a healthcare assistant has been charged with murder after injecting air into a patient’s veins.

The person, named only as Beatriz LD, has been suspended without pay from her job as a nursing auxiliary, or healthcare assistant, at the Prince of Asturias hospital in the Alcala de Henares city, in central Spain.

In fact, she is being

held in the Alcala Meco prison without bail while the case is investigated. But police suspect her of killing an 86-yearold woman, CD, by causing immediate death.

Spanish media report that air was found in the veins of the patient’s heart, lungs, neck and kidneys.

And medical sources said the amount of air injected into the deceased grandmother meant it must have been administered with a large syringe.

But her lawyer told Spanish media that

Beatriz’s job was to wash patients only, and to perform other minor services. He also stressed that she had no access to medical equipment.

Police say they searched the suspect’s locker, but would not reveal what they discovered. Also, they did not divulge what was found during searches of her home and her mother’s house. Officers say they are checking previous deaths of patients who came into contact with the suspect, to see whether they could be connected.

Shop-worker’s cheeky picture

A SHOP assistant, believed to have filmed up a woman’s skirt in Almeria while a couple shopped in his store, is the subject of a police investigation.

The couple called the National Police on 091 from the shop, in Avenida del Mediterráneo, in the Almerian capital.

It is alleged that the 38-year-old shop-worker passed his mobile phone under the skirt of

the young client to get images of her “intimate zones”, while the couple were being served at the counter.

Officers verified that there was a video of the girl on his mobile phone, in its gallery of images.

Catalan police ‘harmed’ the probe into terrorists THE Barcelona terror-attack trial got underway this week, while Catalan police were criticised for “harming investigations” which could have prevented the atrocities.

Mohammed Houli Chemlal, pulled from a suspected bomb factory in Ripoll, which blew up before the attacks, and Driss Oukabir, who has denied renting the van used to mow people down, both had their bail pleas rejected.

Mohammed Aallaa, whose car was used in the attack on Cambrils, has been released on bail through lack of evidence to hold him, while internet-café owner Sahal El Karib will be held, pending further investigations.

Chemlal, reportedly, said in court that the terrorist cell had plans to “kill hundreds”,

using explosives. There were more than 100 gas bottles at the make-shift factory, as well as metal spikes, believed to be intended as shrapnel to maximise the death toll.

The factory explosion killed an imam, Adbelbaki Es Satty, who is understood to have radicalised the men involved in the attacks.

But Catalan’s police force, Mossos d’Esquadra, has been heavily criticised by the National Police and Guardia Civil.

They both claim they were not allowed to investigate the blast site, and that information had been withheld.

The Guardia Civil’s largest union said: “If the

first explosion had been investigated properly, we would have come to the conclusion that they were preparing for a terrorist attack.”

They also said that, had information been shared, the Mossos would have learned that the imam who died in Ripoll was a “disciple” of one of the

Illegal fishing trawler’s seen off by Royal Navy ROYAL Navy ships were this week involved in a standoff with a Spanish police boat and a trawler, which was fishing illegally in British waters, off the coast of Gibraltar.

The trawler had entered UK waters for the third day running, and, when its crew refused to leave, it led to a confrontation in which a Guardia Civil boat become involved.

After a stand-off lasting nearly an hour, which local, marine-traffic enthusiasts describe as “unusual”, the Guardia Civil vessel was chased out of Gibraltar waters.

Michael J Sanchez, founder of Gibraltar Coast Watchers, noted that the trawler was there on Monday and Tuesday morning, and reappeared on a marine traffic-tracker service again the following day.

Mr Sanchez tweeted: “HMS Penzance HMS

Scimitar RGP GDP & HMC vessels involved in serious confrontation off Eastside #Gibraltar with Spanish fishing boat.”

The Guardia Civil boat joined in later, which led to further confrontation, and the Royal Navy operatives “read out a sovereignty warning to leave Gibraltar waters immediately”.

Soon afterwards, though, the situation was defused when the Virgin Carmen 1 left Gibraltar waters, and the Royal Navy vessels withdrew.

In fact, the confrontation ended with the HMS Scimitar “chasing out” the Guardia Civil boat.

A Royal Navy press spokesperson said of the incident: “this is nothing unusual; these things

happen often. It is another territorial display, similar to what we have seen in Gibraltar over the past years.”

But Gibraltar Coast Watchers’ Mr Sanchez disputed this, saying: “The Ministry of Defence always tries to water things down, so as not to upset Spain.

There hasn’t been a standoff like this for quite a long time.’

Disputes between Gibraltar and Spain over the waters happen regularly, but they are particularly poignant now, following UK’s Brexit vote last year, and the triggering of Article 50 in March.

In April, British vessels were forced to chase off Spanish navy ships on three occasions.

Earlier this month, Spain’s Foreign Minister, Alfonso Dastis, said his country would not block a post-Brexit agreement between the UK and European Union to push its sovereignty claim on Gibraltar.

Dastis added that Spain would not “jeopardise” any future deal, by making demands to alter the British overseas territory’s status.

The statement followed fears that Brussels’ n e g o t i a t i n g- g u i d e l i n e s might give Spain a veto over the Rock’s inclusion in any UK-EU trade deal.

But British Prime Minister Theresa May is adamant that Gibraltar’s status is not up for discussion during Brexit withdrawal negotiations.

Gibraltar was captured

by Britain in 1704, and ceded to the country in 1713 under the treaty.

But in a 2002 referendum, Gibraltarians rejected a proposal for joint BritishSpanish sovereignty by 98%.

men arrested in a counterterrorism operation in 2007.

In a joint statement released by the two policing bodies, it was hinted that it wasn’t the first time information had been withheld.

The statement read: “Once again, the flagrant violation of co-operation agreements, as well as the deficient working of communication mechanisms between police and security forces, is plain for all to see.”

It also complained that state-level police forces were “ignored on this occasion to the detriment of public safety”.

Catalan First Minister Carles Puigdemont has, however, used the events to again press for the Mossos d’Esquadra to become full members of Europol, the EU’s information-sharing group for members’ policing bodies.

That, he said, would mean “an increase in security in the country (Catalonia)”.

Non-stop thief nicked

A SPANIARD, aged 25, has finally been arrested by La Laguna’s National Police for committing 32 robberies since January in various places.

He was happy thieving from commercial locals and bars, to schools and even churches.

The cops recovered 1,760 euros in cash, a laptop, several mobile phones and other items, all collected since there was an initial denuncia from La Laguna’s Camino de la Villa parish church at the start of the year.

Following that one, denuncias have been compiled, regarding a multitude of similar robberies in the area over several months.

The police finally collated enough evidence to arrest the suspect last Wednesday.

End of an era as Brucie bows out SIR BRUCE FORSYTH, the h u g e l y - p o p u l a r, veteran entertainer and TV presenter, died at the age of 89 last Friday after being ill for some time.

The former Strictly Come Dancing presenter, who was in hospital earlier this year after a severe chest infection, passed away surrounded by his loved ones.

Next month, when Strictly launches its new series, the professional dancers will pay tribute Brucie with a “heartfelt” number to honour the evergreen star, who fronted the show for nine years.

He first hosted the show alongside Tess Daly in 2004, and stayed until 2013, when he decided to reduce

his workload for health reasons.

Strictly producer Louise Rainbow said: “The thoughts of everyone here are still very much with Sir Bruce’s family. We all want to celebrate him, and all that he loved about the show.

“He was, and will always be, a huge part of Strictly Come Dancing.”

Brucie’s heartbroken family thanked fans for their support through the difficult time, on Monday night’s The One Show, via a message to hosts Matt Baker and Alex Jones.

It followed numerous interviews with his costars and friends.

Bruce’s wife, Wilnelia, and his six children, Debbie, Julie, Laura, Charlotte, Louisa and JJ, said they were “humbled and comforted” to know the presenter had “touched” so many lives.

Serial thief’s Catalans were warned 38th arrest about radical El Satty

A KNOWN criminal, arrested 37 times previously, has been charged with robbery and assault on a bakery worker in Arrecife, Lanzarote.

The 55-year-old hid under a parked vehicle, in the early hours of the morning, then

struck the employee on the head as he opened up and stole the tips jar from the counter.

The worker recovered to give the National Police a detailed description of his assailant, whom they recognised from past dealings with him, and charged him accordingly.

THE Catalan Interior Ministry has confirmed a warning it received from Belgian authorities in March 2016 about Abdelbaki Es Satty, the imam who radicalised and organised the terror cell that killed 15 people in north-east Spain last week.

Hans Bonte, Mayor of the Vilvoorde Flemish town, said local security forces had emailed a Catalan police official to express disquiet about Es Satty (pictured).

The confirmation came as new CCTV images emerged of three of the suspects, which appeared to show them laughing at a petrol station hours before they were shot dead by police.

Almost all the dead men and suspects in the 12-strong terror cell had been living in Ripoll, where Es Satty had been appointed as an imam two years ago, despite having served a prison sentence in Spain for drug smuggling. He spent the early months of last year in Vilvoorde.

“The imam of Diegem, another Belgian town near

Vilvoorde, asked about the man who had moved to Vilvoorde,” Bonte told El País.

“He said he acted strangely and told him he’d left Spain because he had no future there, and had proclaimed himself to be an imam, though he had no accreditation.”

Bonte said the Catalan official replied on the same day, saying Es Satty was “not known” to Catalonia authorities, and that he had no known links to radical Islam, although a person with the same surname had been investigated.

The Catalan Interior Ministry confirmed the

Belgian communication, but emphasised that it was “an informal contact” between two people, who had met at international conferences.

“It wasn’t an official communication, which would arrive by other channels,” said a Ministry spokeswoman.

Anti-terrorist sources told El País that the information had not been shared with the Spanish Interior Ministry, or with the Belgian federal police.

Es Satty was among those killed at an explosion in the house in Alcanar town, in which bomb-making equipment was stored.

Those interviewed include Sir Malcolm Ross, the senior Buckingham Palace courtier who was responsible for the planning and execution of the funeral in just five days; Captain Richard Williams, the chief pallbearer; Martin Neary, the musical director of Westminster Abbey; Graham Craker, Prince William and Prince Harry’s former Royal Protection Officer; Lisa Webb, who arranged the floral tributes from the two young princes for their mother’s coffin; as well as reporters, police and some of the people who joined the crowds.

This week on Teach My Pet To Do That, animal lover, comedian and presenter Alexander Armstrong opens the doors of his multispecies pet training school, to welcome Bailey a Golden Retriever and Boo a rescued battery hen so they can attempt to learn the trick of wipe their feet on command.

Our star pet is Mr Bean a horse that can not only play catch but can also dance in perfect synchronicity with his devoted ex-ballerina owner.

And our trainers hit the road to help train Loki a young Border Collie, to drive a remote control car and hand out gifts to strangers on Brighton Pier.

Performance Live: Get A Round BBC2, 22.00

CW

Set in a city that’s not shy of a soap opera, Get A Round is broadcast from a much loved, real pub in Manchester. Watch friendships, politics and pints collide between the jukebox, the bar and the ladies’ loos as Eggs Collective, a trio of spirited friends hell-bent on having a good time, wonder whether a big night out can save the world.

Expect the spontaneous energy of the Edinburgh Fringe, as Eggs Collective push the boundaries of traditional performance space to bring their unique show from the local pub right into your front room.

Filmed in front of a live audience, Get A Round is a call for community in a divide-and-conquer world; a homage to the boozer and the glory of finding salvation around sticky tables and ripped open crisp packets.

Bradley Walsh welcomes six contestants to a brand new series of TV’s most strategic quiz show.

The contestant who has amassed the most money over the show gets a chance to escape with their individual prize pot.

If the other five contestants succeed in blocking him, they all return the following day to play again, with the escapee starting on zero in this rollover show . If the escapee cash traps all five of his opponents they all leave with nothing, and he leaves with his winnings.

Broadcasts Monday to Friday at 5pm on ITV.

Tuesday 29th August, BBC2, 22.00 The Madman’s Trial. William has a patient, Harold (Jamie Demetriou), with extreme monomania: he seems sane, other than his fervent belief that he will be seized by spies at any moment and put on trial for being a French noble.

With John, Robert and Caroline’s help, William concocts a daring plan to cure Harold of his delusion by staging the trial and ‘acquitting’ him.

Meanwhile, Caroline is determined to advance her medical knowledge, even if it means sneaking into a male-only lecture.

John’s debts leave him in desperate need to make money – by fair means or quackery - and Robert looks to advance his reputation by securing the backing of a wealthy female patron, Lady Campbell (Fenella Woolgar).

But it turns out Lady Campbell is interested in more than just the contents of Robert’s kit bag, and his ‘special relationship’ with Campbell is threatened when Caroline catches Robert in a compromising situation.

Robin and Pyke are plunged into a nightmare when Miranda reports that someone has been shot dead at Silk 41 - and Mary has been taken hostage by the gunman to Bondi.

At the crime scene at Silk 41, the police are getting nowhere with a griefstricken Mamasan Dang and the girls. Crucial security footage has been wiped, Puss has disappeared, and there’s no body.

Bondi is sealed off, and as the hunt for the gunman intensifies, Robin and Miranda join the sweep of the crowded beach.

Robin’s intuition tells her that unless she can discover what Puss’s audacious plan is and stop him, her daughter - and the possibility of love - may be lost to her forever.

Holiday time for everybody

The crown you never take off

By Carl pattison from Robot

IT’S either a total pain to keep up to, or a real pleasure to look after; that’s the only way you can view your hair. It’s either a pleasure to visit the salon, or something to get out of the way - like the dentist.

If you really hate visiting your salon, then ask yourself a few questions: “Why do I still go?” and “Why aren’t I getting what I want from my stylist?”

It all starts with a good consultation, and getting to know your hair and what you want from it before the appointment starts,

especially if it’s your first visit.

Try to explain what you want, and don’t want, from your cut/ colour. This way, your stylist has an overall idea of what you may want from your end result.

Expect to be asked questions regarding your appointment, during and at the end result; this is your time to ask questions, and query anything you’re not sure about.

We hate it when something isn’t right, so don’t be afraid to tell us before you leave the salon. Even

if, after a week or so, something is niggling you, pop back into your salon or give them a call. We will be only too pleased to run through the drying method, or adjust the cut, with no problems.

Your stylist should be your hair-friend; approachable, and, above all else, able to give you what you’re looking for, hair-wise.

Good stylists can often read your mind; this is something that’s built up over time by loyal clients, creating a great hairteam, consisting of you and your stylist.

Clever clobber

by Carl Pattison EVEN guys need a helping hand now and then, when it comes to getting their fashion just right. Picking out the correct style to suit age and size is one sure way to change your body image, without even hitting the gym.

Clothes can pile on the pounds if they’re ill-

fitting, or simply don’t complement your figure.

Fitted (not tight) clothing always flatters more than trying to cover up a bigger frame with baggy clothes; check out the guy in the photo.

If you have good legs, show them. If your upper half is better proportioned, then flatter

that area. It’s all about making the most of what you have.

Don’t be drawn into a fashion fad if it’s not going to do anything for you. Create your own style which complements you, and your look.

Stay away, too, from clashing patterns (two together), any form of sandals, and too many logos or statement T shirts. Never wear more than three colours together, and opt for complementing, rather than clashing, shades.

Get it right, and you’re going to turn heads, without even trying.

IT’S hot!

Everybody is on holiday! Salads and cool drinks are the order of the day. Shade and sea is all they need.

Equally, you may well have some time off yourself, in which case it’s definitely the best time to relax, chill out and enjoy your property in Tenerife.

Jobs such as remodelling or refurbishing the house can wait until cooler times. If you rent out your property, this is also high season of course, so let your guests have a great time.

You can, however, start thinking about what needs doing in your property while you are sunbathing or floating on that lilo, even if you don’t get round to actually doing it until later in the year.

Maybe you have noticed that your mattress is getting uncomfortable, or you need more storage in your home. Perhaps the sofa has seen better days, or the curtains are looking a bit past their prime.

Could your lounge or bedroom do with an updated image; maybe some modern abstract pictures and toning cushions, a decluttering or a revamp?

The cheapest way of making a big design difference is a coat of paint.

Most properties here are painted white, and this does give rooms a fresh and spacious feel. However, painting one wall in a colour can add interest, and other items such as pictures and cushions can match or tone with it.

Dark colours should be used sparingly, as they make spaces look smaller, but consider the practicalities as well. White sofas and small children or pets don’t work, for example!

The use of colour can add a designer feel to a room at very low cost. If you have the budget, you might consider replacing your sofa, but, if not, you could consider re-upholstering it in a more up-to-date colour.

This can be much cheaper, and you have the advantage of knowing that it fits in the room and is comfortable. If not, change it! If you rent

out your property, getting a good-quality sofa-bed can increase your occupancy, and, therefore, the return on your investment.

Curtains and blinds perform a dual function; they make rooms dark and intimate, preserve your privacy, and also dress the windows when they might, otherwise, look cold and bare.

Again, give some thought to colour schemes and practicalities, and what will work well with your floors and other furnishings. Perhaps you need some new terrace furniture in order to make the best of the fabulous weather, or a new, outdoor blind or pergola to provide more shade.

Enjoy your break, but give some thought as to how you can improve your property, to get even more enjoyment out of it.

All items mentioned are available from Deco Nuevo, along with free interiordesign advice. Call them on 922 789 729.

The food of the Gods OLIVES are much more than a tasty side dish to be enjoyed as an appetiser.

They pack a punch when it comes to health, and, as such, are ideal to add to meals like salads. In fact, studies have found that olives have compounds that help fight cancer, specifically of the colon and breast.

One study from the University of Barcelona discovered that the skin of an olive contains maslinic acid, which is known to kill off cancer cells and drastically slow down the growth of colon cancer cells.

Impressively, the concentration of maslinic acid in olive skin may be as high as 80% The second study, this

time conducted jointly by researchers at the Catalan Institute of Oncology in Girona and the University of Granada, found that phenols in extravirgin olive oil played a role in the death of breast cancer cells, a process called “apoptosis”.

It’s no wonder that olives make the George Mateljan Foundation’s list of The World’s Healthiest Foods for their ability to fight cancer, among other things. In a description on their website, it’s stated that the “Anti-oxidant phytonutrients in olives may have a special ability to protect DNA, the key chemical component of genetic material in our cells, from oxygen damage.”

In addition to

combating cancer cells, olives can benefit health in other ways.

Black olives, for example, have a high Vitamin E content, which is vital for brain, lung and blood-cell function. According to the National Institutes of Health, eating foods like olives, which have a high unsaturated, healthy-fat content,

helps boost the body’s absorption of Vitamin E. Olives are also a way to help heart health, as well as keeping inflammation at bay.

Their monounsaturated fat plays a role in regulating cholesterol levels, lowering the bad (LDL) and raising the good (HDL) levels. And studies

have shown a correlation between olive oil and inflammation; the compounds in olive oil can halt the production of inflammation in a way that works similarly to NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).

This is good news, especially considering that there are many

Coral Bar

harmful health effects that may result from taking NSAIDs, including mouth inflammation, night blindness and severe pain.

A natural, healthy option like eating olives and using extra-virgin olive oil is a much better alternative to keep ourselves in tip-top shape.

Buying or renting a car?

Don’t chicken out - eat the skin!

By Val Sainsbury ALMOST every generation believes a different myth about their health.

We used to think that smoking wasn’t unhealthy, and margarine was better than butter. We even used to regard “zero calorie” beverages as being something that could help us lose weight.

Whether the public is influenced by clever marketing campaigns, or science just hasn’t caught up yet, there have been so many misconceptions that have shaped people’s habits and choices for years.

A common, contemporary health-myth which needs dispelling is: “Eating chicken skin is unhealthy.”

At the root of this popular misconception is that chicken skin is fatty and therefore should be removed to help reduce your dietary-fat intake. But it’s important to look closer at the real facts, and pick apart why chicken skin isn’t actually unhealthy at all.

The truth is, your body needs fat to be healthy. However, it’s important to remember that there are different types of fat.

For years, the public pointed fingers at saturated fat, blaming it for cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and

By Emma

from Motorworld

obesity. But recent advances prove that this isn’t actually the case.

A scientific review was published in 2010, pooling over 20 different research studies on the link between saturated fat and cardiovascular disease.

They concluded that there is no evidence that such a link actually exists.

On the flip side, transfats have been proven to cause a higher risk of heart disease, heart attack and diabetes.

Not to mention, your body needs both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

We don’t need to be afraid of healthy fat.

Furthermore, we really do require these fats in our diet for proper cell function, and to protect our hearts from cardiovascular disease.

Chicken skin doesn’t contain any trans-fats.

Belive it or not, it contains saturated fats, monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats, all of which are good for us!

Calorie counting might help some people to maintain a general idea of how much food they’re really eating every day, but caloriebased diets are not a healthy or long-term way to manage weight.

To really understand what your body requires, you need to

think about vitamins, minerals and macronutrients like protein, not just “how many minutes of cardio do I need to do to earn this cake?”.

Counting calories can often make you miss the big picture.

Technically, you could drink a diet beverage every day because it contains “zero calories”, but its nutritional value (and safety!) go well beyond its sugar content.

Nevertheless, if you really want to know how many calories you’re saving by removing chicken skin, it’s only about 45.

That’s not a lot at all.

If you’ve already got into the habit of buying skinned chicken meat or removing it yourself before cooking, there’s one great reason to change: flavour!

It is much easier for herbs and spices to stick to your meat when cooking with the skin on, which gives you so many opportunities to add several specific nutritional and health benefits to your meal.

For example, this list barely scratches the surface: • Turmeric is anti-inflammatory (combine with black pepper for easy absorption) • Basil is an antiinflammatory and helps prevent diabetes • Cayenne pepper aids digestion • Garlic boosts your immune system • Ginger helps prevent cancer-cell growth • Parsley is a good source of iron • Rosemary contains anti-oxidants • Thyme is a good source of Vitamin C Since chicken skin contains only good fats, won’t be a caloric burden, and provides a vehicle for innumerable, extra nutritional add-ons (and deliciousness), why not dare to enjoy it today?

SO you’ve made the big move, or you’re what is often termed as being a “Swallow”. You’ll always need the use of a car, so you hire one, right?

As with renting a property, it’s always a good idea, initially, as it gives you a feel of the place in which you are living, and lets you make the decision as to whether, or not, you like it.

You can apply the same principle to a car. You rent for a few weeks, which then turns into months, and, before you know it, you have spent a small fortune and the thing still isn’t yours!

If you are only using the island as a holiday destination each year for 2-4 weeks, or a little more, then renting is always going to be the best option. Look around and search for the companies with the best offers, and consider the conditions that are always in the small print.

If you own a property

here and come whenever you can, perhaps for weeks at a time with the children during school holidays, or long weekends at Christmas and Easter, it is seriously worth considering buying a reliable car.

This would need careful thought, because second-hand cars are not in the same price brackets as the UK. Being an island, demand for new cars is lower, so the secondhand market does not provide you with the massive choice you can enjoy in the UK. However, if you look for a reputable dealer or garage, you will get a decent deal, and, once paid for, the car is yours whenever you want it. So if parents, family, friends etc want to use your apartment, they, too, can benefit from the use and convenience of a car.

Of course, paperwork is involved; what else would you expect in Spain? A trustworthy dealer will be able to manage this for you, and, more often than not, the transfer of the vehicle into your name is included in the price.

Some people will buy privately which is fine, but, as an individual, you should ensure that the car is debt free, and is ACTUALLY the property of the person who is trying to sell it. As always,

buyer beware, as is the case everywhere in the world these days.

If you have any doubts, contact a professional to do this paperwork for you. It will come at a cost, but it will give you peace of mind that all will run smoothly.

For the Swallows, it is also a better idea to buy rather than to rent a car, or use taxis for things such as shopping, hospital visits and days out.

A lot of people coming from abroad eg UK, Germany and France, are unaware that the “No Claims” discount they have built up in their country of origin can be used here, in order to achieve a better price on insurance.

Car tax is minimal here, compared with the UK; the cost (dependent on vehicle make, model, engine size and emissions) varies from around 45 euros upwards to around 200 euros for a top-of-the-range, high-end car, which, in this scenario, would be unlikely.

So, if you rent, it’s dead money never to be retrieved, but, if you buy, you will always be able to recoup some of your outlay when you sell, or upgrade. Secondhand cars tend to hold their value a lot better than in the UK. All good points to take into consideration.

Dog of the week - Pikachu

CHEEKY little Pikachu is just 11 months old and a happy wee chap with lots of love to give. He is only 6 kgs, so will suit a small apartment. He really is lovely, and needs a home of his own.

Can you help him? Please call Sue on 629 388102 for more information, and to arrange a meeting or noobligation trial. Adopt, don’t shop, is always the best policy!

We need a van!

Our van has died at the worst possible moment – summer, when our shops are quiet!

Isn't it always the way?

Although we dream of having one donated (dreams are good), realistically, if we can find a cheapish one, we will be happy. We need it for rescuing and moving our dogs around, so it's quite urgent. If you know of one available, please get in touch.

Upcoming events On Friday, 15th September, we are back at the Top Square on San Blas, Golf

del Sur. It’s been a while, so we will be going all out to make it a belter! Line-up to come, as we have only just

arranged it, but, as always, it will be hosted by Suzy q and feature Colin Stevens’ Comedy Drag Show, plus

much more. See you there, from 8pm.

On Sunday, 24th September we have been invited onto the Mustcat on a private charter by the Globe Bar, Costa del Silencio. Come and join us for a three-hour sunset trip, leaving Las Galletas port at 6pm. The price is 35 euros, which includes paella and unlimited drinks.

Call Sue on 629 388102 for your tickets, but be quick; we sold out last time.

Showstoppers 2017 Yes, it’s almost that time again. Those uber-talented students of the Gillian Banks Theatre School in South Yorkshire are back to entertain you, with a show that’s bigger and better than ever before. Can this be possible? Well, you will have to come and see on Monday, 30th October at the Auditorium in Los Cristianos from 7pm - save the date.

Tickets are already on sale from all three Live Arico charity shops, or from the Cultural Centre reception.

Well done, Nicole!

Nicole Wells was walking her Nan's dog in Parque de la Arena a couple of weeks ago, and discovered a box of puppies which had been dumped by some callous person, near the local rubbish.

Ten-year-old Nicole struggled back to her Nan, carrying the box of puppies. Thanks to them following the correct procedure, the Police and Protection Civil collected the puppies and brought them directly to the Accion del Sol refuge. The puppies arrived in a very bad state and were full of ticks and fleas, so we immediately took them to our admittance area where they were washed, to avoid spreading anything to the rest of the dogs at the refuge.

We would like to say a very special thank you to Nicole for her kindness and quick thinking to help these little puppies. At a later date, we would like to invite her to the refuge, because she would like to see the puppies and have an update on their care.

We hope that once they are fully inoculated, microchipped, castrated /sterilised and have a clean bill of health, we will be able to find them special homes.

The refuge re-opens after our short summer break on the 27th August.

Assistance required Please contact us if you can assist in any way on 922 778630. We always need tinned dog-food for our older animals, plus blankets, towels, sheets, dog toys, collars and leads. You can call into the Accion refuge on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons, from 2-5pm, and Saturdays between 1-4pm.

Find us here Accion del Sol is situated directly under the Ecological Park (exit 52) on the northbound TF-1. Head for the giant windmills, and you’ll find us in the buildings on the right-hand side. E-mail the refuge at teneriffa@ aktiontier.org or, for further details, visit our Facebook page: action tier Accion del Sol.

CD Tenerife

Tenerife’s smooth launch

By Colin Kirby

FROM selection nightmare to tactical triumph, CD Tenerife coach Pep Marti could genuinely feel pleased with this performance against Real Zaragoza to start the new second division season.

Good use of seasoned heads, youth, and new arrivals, combined to overcome gaping holes in the squad, through injuries and stalled transfer deals. And the worst fears were transformed into high hopes for the campaign ahead.

Veteran Aitor Sanz was used as a sweeper in front of the back four, which reinforced the defence and allowed Camille and speedy new right-back Luis Perez to overlap on the flanks to support the attack.

The lack of a proven goalscorer was the big worry, but 21-year-old B team player Brian Martin led the line well, with great

CD Tenerife 1 Real Zaragoza 0

support from Juan Carlos Real.

True, the visitors were poor, but that was, partially, down to hard work and defensive strength, which restricted their chances.

Carlos Ruiz was tremendous. His tackles on Iglesias and Febas in the penalty area were timed to perfection, and Perez showed similar calmness to nod a threatening ball back to keeper Dani Hernandez.

Striker Martin is used to playing in front of a couple of hundred fans, so adjusting to 10,232 was just one of the challenges on his league debut.

His first chance was a high blast, after a Suso layoff, and he struck an even better chance straight at the keeper after a welltimed, upfield long-ball from Juan Carlos.

But pre-season friendly form, and his general play, will soon pay dividends as he gains big-match experience.

The half-time mood of the crowd was upbeat, and it got even better in

the second half. Tenerife continued to work hard for each other. Suso and Tayron, full of running, were encouraged by a slack Zaragoza defence.

Captain Suso got into good positions, but his final touch let him down after a long pass from Aitor Sanz.

The skipper did better with a Tayron pass as he forced a vital corner after 57 minutes. Juan Carlos floated the ball across and Carlos Ruiz rose to head the ball past the keeper.

It was a deserved reward for Tenerife’s persistent pressure on Zaragoza through fast, snappy football.

Pep Marti, already thinking ahead to next Monday night’s game at Barcelona B, gave his subs a run-out.

Nadjib, who did well in the warm-up games after 18 months out of action, replaced Tayron and made some strong runs down the left.

Honduran international Bryan Acosta was given 10

Women’s football

minutes in place of Juan Carlos, demonstrating that his speed and attacking tendencies will make him a crowd favourite.

Martin went off to generous applause after 83 minutes, giving way to new striker Juan Villar’s re-introduction after a muscle injury.

Suso could have doubled the lead when the ball found him in front of goal.

But he snatched at his shot when he could have made an inviting pass.

Nevertheless, the final whistle signalled a job well done

by Tenerife, with plenty of positives for the fans to savour. Injury problems and a few more signings before the end of August will make competition for places fierce.

And the stand-ins showed that they will make it difficult for the coach to replace them.

Hat-trick of strikers LIKE buses, you wait ages for one new forward… and three arrive at once as CD Tenerife continue to build their squad.

As expected, they tied up the addition of Paco Montanes late last week.

And the 30-year-old striker has been followed by two more attackers.

Filip Malbasic looks the big prize. The 24-yearold Serbian, from

Belgrade, who checked in on a four-year loan, can play wide or as the central striker.

Italian Samuele Longo, 25, is the latest signing, arriving on-loan from Inter Milan with plenty of experience in the Spanish league, bagging 14 goals for Girona last season.

It should create healthy competition for starting places, and Tenerife may well add another new face before the transfer window closes at the end of August.

Ladies taste Cup glory EGATESA Granadilla Tenerife still have a few weeks to wait for league action, but they have already added a trophy to their cabinet.

An international tournament, UNITED By Women’s Football, took place at Tincer athletic stadium, on the outskirts of Santa Cruz, last week, and Tenerife emerged

winners after a penalty shoot-out against Spartak Subotica, of Serbia.

It was a close contest, with Ana Gonzalez scoring after 20 minutes, only for Spartak to draw level shortly after with a Violeta penalty.

The outcome was decided in a penalty duel, which saw Tenerife win 9-8, thanks to a goal from keeper Noelia Gil. Tenerife also recorded a 6-1 friendly win against Gran Canaria rivals CD

Fermarguin in an earlier clash, with two goals each from Ana and Prieto, plus further strikes from Paola, and new Ivory Coast signing Ange Koko.

Former Egatesa players Noelia and Natalia Ramos, the sisters who have moved on to Levante, added some Tenerife pride to Spain’s thrilling 3-2 victory against France in the European Ladies Under-19 Championship final in Belfast.

CD Marino

Blues snookered by pink LIMITED friendlies, and a host of new faces, left CD Marino with a steep learning curve as they lost their opening league game against CD Tenerife B, their pink-shirted rivals.

There were plenty of encouraging signs, but even with sharper finishing they would have struggled to beat goalkeeper Angel Galván, who was on top form.

Juanma nearly had a dream start to his Marino career as he burst through on goal, but Galván raced out to claim the ball.

The Tenerife side had grown up together through the youth ranks, and their understanding showed when Marwan turned his defender and laid the ball off to Giovanni, who snatched a sixth-minute lead.

Marino tried to shrug off the setback, with Diego testing Galván, and Pedro slicing a shot over the bar.

Speedy Tanzanian winger Faradi was always a threat

Boxing

CD Marino 0 CD Tenerife B 2

for Tenerife, and a moment of trickery ended with his shot passing the wrong side of a post.

Surprisingly, water breaks are uncommon in Tenerife, but the noon kick-off left players feeling like toast under a grill, and the ref allowed a water top-up after 30 minutes of each half.

Javi Saavedra returned

refreshed and nearly squeezed in an equaliser from an acute angle.

Faradi let rip with a long shot, but though the power was there, it lacked accuracy.

Fran Delgado and Pedro took advantage of a sluggish Tenerife defence before the ball squirmed out of play. And at the other end, Giovanni closed

the half with a shot that Petar stood tall to block.

Josue, who fancied his chances as the game restarted, looked good for a clear shot on goal before Javi Saavedra robbed him with a welltimed tackle.

Javi carried on his good work for Marino with a through-ball to Zeben, which was cleared hastily

by the visitors.

And home hopes were raised when Zeban put the ball in the Tenerife net a few minutes later, only for an offside call to spoil his big moment.

Galván was the hero for any high balls, plucking them out with ease. And he took one ball straight off the head of Carlos Saavedra.

Tenerife, who had slackened off, were aware that they had to up the tempo to ensure the points. Marwan looked odds-on to get the clincher, but Petar had other ideas and spread himself to deny the striker.

With 15 minutes left, Giovanni spotted another half-chance and was bearing down on Petar in the home goal.

The keeper stretched to block the high shot, but the ball rebounded and Giovanni reacted quickly to head the ball past him and shut the door on any home recovery.

Marino will improve as the new players bed-in, while Tenerife B look sure to be among the pace-setters in their Tercera Division group.

Football

The Lads team up rumble against terrorism!

Ready to

ANOTHER packed boxing bill in Tenerife will be staged next Friday, 1st September, at Xanadu Centro Hipico from 8pm.

The show-jumping complex is near Guargacho, a few miles east along the TF1 from Los Cristianos.

A mix of 12 professional and amateur bouts, including two all-female clashes. Call 676 632 165 or 689 282 717 for ticket details.

FOOTBALLERS across the world linked arms to observe a minute’s silence before their matches last weekend, as a mark of respect for the victims of the terrorist attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils.

Fans shared the moment, including the crowd at CD Tenerife´s Heliodoro stadium last Friday night.

Many probably wouldn’t have noticed the flag of the Football Lads Alliance, draped over the pitch surround. But it represented a growing voice of anger and concern, which has been expressed by 67,000 fans across a broad, football spectrum.

Andy Swallow, one of the founding members, explained, on his latest trip to Tenerife, what drives them.

“We are all ordinary, family people, who fear for the future of our children,” he said.

“Football is a passion we all share, and it’s a common language that can reach out

to people of all backgrounds and beliefs.”

Tottenham fan John Meighan started the Football Lads Alliance on Facebook after the London attacks of 3rd June.

Within a week, he had 5,000 members!

Then, on 24th June, the group organised a silent march, from St Paul’s Cathedral to London Bridge, where all the clubs represented laid wreaths.

Andy, stunned at the turnout, said: “It was amazing.

We had 10,000 people, but no team colours were worn and there was no chanting or shouting.

“And fans of traditional rivals like West Ham, Millwall, Tottenham, and Arsenal mixed together to show their shared concerns.”

But it hasn’t always been so smooth. “People have tried to label us as ‘far right’, or ‘racist’, but we have support from all corners,” he added.

“Speakers at the end of the first march included Mohan Singh, from the Sikh Awareness Society, and Toni Bugle, of Mothers Against Radical Islam. We are not political and have turned down requests from potential speakers who have a political agenda. There’s another march

arranged for 7th October, from Green Park to Downing Street, and we expect around 30,000 people to come along. And we already have links with overseas clubs, like Lazio of Italy, and several German teams.”

The day after the attacks, John Meighan flew to Barcelona to lay a scarf among the tributes left at Las Ramblas, and he also met a section of Barcelona fans who want to join the alliance.

Maybe it’s the random and indiscriminate nature of the spate of vehicle-based attacks which has united so many diverse followers.

As Andy pointed out: “These have taken place in big, cosmopolitan cities, full of people of all races, religions and backgrounds.

“We haven’t got the answers; we just want people’s voices to be heard - those looking for some hope that our kids can look forward to a safer future.”

Boothen pile on power BOOTHEN are the ones to watch as they power their way up the league, this time with a resounding 8-0 win away in San Blas.

Sam, for The Tavern A, took the only two legs of the evening for his side, and this success leaves Boothen just two points from the summit, with games in hand.

The Pub were back on form, with Grizzly hitting a maximum and Sam throwing some excellent darts, only to see Andy, from Pas O Nadas A, hit a 180 and then snatch the trebles, to record a 4-4 draw, which ended their run of four defeats.

Spear Chuckers entertained Emerald Lounge in the valley, and, following close games in a brilliant atmosphere, they emerged 6-2 winners.

Picasso’s held their nerve in the last game in a close-fought match at home against Palms Pool Bar as they came out on the right side of a 5-3 scoreline thanks to Per and his finishing.

Waterfall travelled to Scruffy Macs, but, despite Sue’s team playing out of their skin, they lost 5-3. Steve hit the highest score of the night with three treble 19s for a 171. Barry and Georgina also did the visitors proud. The result leaves Scruffy Macs just five points off the top, with games in hand.

Current league leaders Gaffers took a trip to Ourplace Playboys with a four-man team, including debutant Andy, who scored a 90 finish, only to be outdone by Terry’s 93 check-out. But the points were shared as Gaffers nicked the 701 game.

Sandy’s took a two-point lead at the top of Division 2 with a runaway 8-0 win at home against Ourplace Playgirls, for whom Tracey and Shar took the only leg in the doubles.

Legends, chasing all the way, secured their latest victory, at home against Loch Inn B, who went down 6-2.

The Red Devils recorded the same score against Marilyn’s A, who, though beaten, carried on and took the trebles.

Another trebles’ victory gave Bar Leones a 5-3 win over Nutty Nautas in a fantastic night of fun and laughter in Parque de la Reina, while Andrea Payne was magnificent in the doubles for Nauta Nomads.

bles, and Mrs Brown will have been proud again because Ami was the star of the night… until 15-yearold sister Sade hit a fabulous 57 finish in the last game to share the points.

A superb night and great banter was re-

ported at Marilyn’s, where the B team were beaten by the narrowest of margins, Naughty Nautas claiming the 701 game and a 5-3 win.

Good luck to all players in the trebles’ competitions tonight (Friday).

Derby set for Adeje

NEW coach, new players, and new ideas!

Iberostar Tenerife have just reported back for training under new coach Nenad Markovic, former player and coach of Bosnia & Herzegovina.

The new boss takes over from Txus Vidorreta, who guided the La Laguna team to the European Champions League title last season.

There’s a treat for southern fans as the first pre-season friendly takes place in Adeje at the Las Torres

sports hall on Saturday, 2nd September, against Gran Canaria at 8 pm.

The coach has looked close to his roots, as well as the usual North American source for overseas players, and he’s planning a winning mix.

Pivot Rosco Allen hails from Budapest, Hungary, and has extensive experience in the American leagues.

It’s quite a coup to add current Bosnia team captain and defender Adin Vrabac, while Mateusz Ponikta arrives from Poland, and Mike Tobey, a New-York-born player, has switched from Valencia.

Aaron Doornekamp has

followed former coach Txus Vidorreta to Valencia, Georgios Bogris now wears a Olympiakos vest, and Marius Grigonis has packed his bags for Berlin.

But most of the Tenerife squad are back for another season, looking to make a challenge for Spain´s elite Liga Endesa title.

The Adeje game will be a testing warm-up, and entrance is just five euros, or 10 euros to watch from court level.

You can pay on the night or buy in advance from Pabellon Las Torres, or at the Nexsport complex at the El Galeon entrance to Adeje.
