Loro Parque is best zoo of all!

Continued from Front It is yet another acknowledgement of the zoo’s efforts towards the conservation of biodiversity, and raising awareness of the protection of the natural habitats of wildlife on the planet.

The award is also true recognition for Loro Parque’s commitment to animal welfare, and stands alongside several other honours bestowed on the huge attraction.

Earlier this year, the park received a Humane Certified certificate from renowned animal-welfare organisation American Humane, for its treatment of the animals.

It is the first zoo in Europe to have obtained this standard, and Loro Parque confirmed its full compliance with the Global Welfare Standards of ABTA, the Association of British Travel Agents, after earning a 100% rating from the Global Spirit auditors.

The ABTA members include tourism leaders such as Thomas Cook and TUI UK. Loro Parque’s recognition

by Trip Advisor subscribers as the best animalwelfare zoo could not be grasped fully without their knowledge of its research and conservation programme, carried out since 1994 through the Loro Parque Fundación.

Thanks to the support of the park, its partners, visitors, friends and collaborators, more than 17 million dollars have been directly invested

in the development of conservation programmes, there and elsewhere,

following its “100% for Nature” commitment.

Among many significant

successes, including important achievements in the marine environment,

Spain’s 550bn-euro ‘shadow’ economy NEARLY 20% of Spain’s economy operates “in the shadows”, according to researchers at Germany’s Institute for Applied Economic Research (IAW).

Southern European countries dominate the list of selected, industrialised countries with “shadow” economies. And Spain boasts the third-largest as a share of its total GDP, at 17.2%.

Greece has the highest at 21.5%, with Italy second

at 19.8%. The UK ranked eighth on 9.4%.

A shadow economy is the total value of transactions by businesses and individuals, which happen “off the books”, such as work performed for cash to avoid paying tax into the system.

This type of work ranges from paying a tradesman or a babysitter in undeclared cash, to the illegal wildlife trade, counterfeiting

and money-laundering.

Untaxed, unrecorded economic activity, which boomed during the global financial crisis, continues to flourish and is thought to be worth at least 550 billion euros.

But while large, shadow economies mean governments lose out on tax revenues, it might be argued that attempting to curb them could limit economic growth - and hamper innovation!

Loro Parque Fundación’s work has rescued nine species of parrots from imminent extinction.

Examples include the Bluethroated macaw, originally of Beni, Bolivia, whose population has increased from 50 to 350 individuals with the project.

Another development, at the same time, is the evolution of Lear’s Macaw, whose population has increased from 22 to over 1,200 individuals, as well as Columbia’s Yellow-eared parrot. Its numbers have increased to over 4,000 individuals, thanks to the efforts of a project to save the palm tree, habituated by these parrots.

In 1999, before Loro Parque Fundación started this project, there were just 82 individuals of this species, who had been left in the wild.

Car-jacker is found dead after motorway mayhem A SCOTTISH holiday-maker, found dead near the Los Cristianos access to the TF-1 motorway last Friday after a marathon bender of booze and drugs, had earlier hijacked two cars.

Kevin Daffurn, a 30-yearold father-of-one, from Shotts, North Lanarkshire, arrived in Los Cristianos the previous night with two friends.

Sources have revealed that his death, said to be from lung and heart failure, was caused by pulmonary oedema, (excess fluid in the lungs), brought on by a reaction to the alcohol and illegal drugs he had consumed.

His pals told detectives that he was known to become violent after consuming alcohol, drugs or both.

Daffurn’s body was found at 6.30pm by two tourists.

His hands and feet were covered in blood, and he was wearing just a pair of shorts - his ripped shirt was close by - plus a wristband from the all-inclusive, Laguna Park hotel, where the trio were staying.

The dramatic incident began unfolding at about 2pm, when Daffurn jumped into a Mitsubishi car parked near San Eugenio

Smart

helicopter rescue

shopping centre, with its keys in the ignition.

The driver had popped out for a few seconds, and the terrified passenger, his 42-year-old Spanish wife from La Laguna, thought she was being kidnapped.

The Scot drove on to the nearby TF-1 motorway with both doors open, zig-zagging dangerously before the woman threw herself out of the car, and, miraculously, was avoided by other vehicles, one narrowly.

She was picked up, traumatised, with cuts and bruises by a Guardia Civil officer and taken to hospital.

Heavy traffic led to Daffurn crashing the car near a

motorway-access ramp, before stumbling along the hard-shoulder as a tail-back formed.

He tried stealing a motorbike, only to see it race away, before jumping into a second car, driven by a woman, as it passed alongside Costa Adeje’s Quiron Hospital.

She put the handbrake on immediately, jumped out and ran, and witnesses described how the carjacker was seen running down the motorway before leaping over the central barrier and disappearing down a grassy slope.

A police source said: “Initially, when the man’s body was found, it wasn’t thought to have been connected with

the earlier incidents.

“Subsequently, because of the proximity to the crash scene and the clothes he was wearing, it was confirmed that he was the same person responsible for the carjacking, motorway crash and two other attempts to steal cars, stuck in the tailback he caused by his accident.”

He added: “Investigators are still awaiting the results of the autopsy, but the inexplicable actions of this man obviously give rise to suspicions that he was out of his mind on drink and, possibly, drugs.”

A post-mortem examination will reveal what drugs he had taken, and the exact cause of his death.

A HELICOPTER flew to the rescue of a 17-year-old boy, who fell down a rocky area while trying to get to Playa de Roque Prieto, in Gran Canaria’s Santa María de Guía.

Once fire-fighters arrived, they realised the boy was in a difficult area to access and requested an emergency airlift.

The teenager, who suffered a serious head injury, along with multiple but moderate body injuries, had to be immobilised by the helicopter team before they could move him.

He was eventually taken to Hospital Dr Negrín for further treatment.

Large iguana roaming free

Starbucks set for Siam Mall A LARGE iguana, roaming along a Guia de Isora road in Alcalá last week, was spotted by a local resident, who tipped off Seprona, the Guardia Civil’s nature protection unit.

Its officers were able to find and capture the 1.2-metrelong green iguana, which looked extremely healthy.

This protected species of reptile, from the tropical regions of Central and South America, are common pets.

The Iguana was taken to the Neotropico Foundation in Santa Cruz, but, curiously, no one has yet claimed it.

STARBUCKS opens its Tenerife operation at Siam Mall on Thursday (14th Sept) at 11.30am, with premises on the terrace there.

It promises to be a fantastic opportunity for customers to enjoy the climate with delicious, original coffee.

The opening is confirmation of the island’s commercial and tourist growth. It is also excellent news for all the locals, who can look forward to enjoying Starbucks without leaving Tenerife.

NATIONAL Police officers in Puerto de la Cruz, on routine patrol, came across a British pensioner on the floor, unconscious with no pulse.

His anxious wife stood by, and, while awaiting paramedics, the officers began to perform CPR. Their actions proved vital in saving the 69-year-old man’s life.

Once paramedics arrived, they continued to help them with advance CPR until the man was resuscitated.

He was then taken to Candelaria Hospital for further treatment.

Rajoy US-bound for formal Trump talks SPANISH Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy will travel to the US later this month for his first formal talks with President Donald Trump.

They met briefly in May, during the Atlantic Alliance Summit in Brussels, and again in June at Hamburg’s G-20 conference.

Rajoy, who arrives in Washington on 25th September, will stay at Blair House, traditional residence of high-ranking foreign visitors, before having lunch with Trump at the White House the following day.

The meeting takes place five days before Cataluña aims to carry out an unauthorised independence referendum. Madrid-based media outlets are reporting the invitation as Trump’s show of support for the Spanish leader.

The pair will also discuss the fight against terrorism, bilateral relations, the European Union, and North Korea.

The US Air Force squadron also has its headquarters at a Seville Air Base.

Last month Trump called Rajoy to present his condolences after the Catalonia terror attacks left a total of 16 people dead and 120 injured.

The first phone conversation between the two leaders was

in February, when Trump assured Rajoy that the US remained committed to NATO, despite his past criticism of the transatlantic military alliance.

They then agreed “to continue close security, economic and counterterrorism co-operation”.

Rajoy, in power since 2011, visited the White House in January 2014, when Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, was in office. Obama made an official visit to Spain in July 2016

Cheshire future is still unknown

MARINE technicians have still not been able to board the British vessel Cheshire because of poor sea conditions.

But at least the stricken ship’s cargo has stopped emitting toxic smoke because the temperatures in the holds have dropped,

and there is some hope.

The 190-metre bulk carrier burst into flames off the coast of Gran Canaria nearly three weeks 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 near Gran Canaria.

The skipper tried to divert to Las Palmas, but authorities refused

the bulk carrier entry for fear of the ship bursting into flames again.

Fortunately, the Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre allowed the ship to be towed closer to Gran Canaria, at a mandatory 12-mile distance.

Once the vessel can be boarded, maritime rescue technicians will assess its safety before allowing it to be towed into port.

The decision comes at the request of the Spanish Government, to allow more “breathing space” for union talks with the management company.

The main CC OO, UGT and USO unions announced that industrial action would not begin on the original date, next Saturday.

The “breathing space” was agreed after a meeting with Ministry of Public Works representatives Aena and Enaire.

Francisco Casado of the CC OO union, said: “After the meeting, the assessment we have made is favourable and, therefore, we have

agreed to give them more time.”

More talks were scheduled for yesterday (Thursday).

And, because the unions must inform the Ministry of Employment 10 days before any strike action, the 15th and 17th September stoppages have been called off.

The announcement was applauded by Development Minister Íñigo de la Serna, who thanked the unions for the gesture.

Union representatives in the Aena group have been threatening 25 days of 24hour strikes since May, if their repeated demands on a salary overhaul, and calls for an employment plan, were not answered before mid-August.

And of the unions’ specific demands, De la Serna said that the proposal for an increase in the workforce that goes beyond the replacement rate “still requires some debate”.

Drive-by-shooting: guman surrenders

8th September - 14th September 2017

Treat for these brave kids who beat cancer A GROUP of 60 children, who have recently overcome various forms of cancer, have enjoyed a few days at Camping Nauta, in Arona.

Above: Francisco Iván Trujillo gives himself up

THE hunt for alleged Gran Canaria killer Francisco Iván Trujillo (above) ended last Friday at 7pm when he gave himself up, voluntarily, to the Police after shouting insults at the waiting press outside.

He is understood to have murdered 34-year-old Lionel Carrillo in a driveby shooting in Las Palmas, after being identified through security cameras on the San Cristóbal industrial estate.

Mr Carrillo, believed to have been released from prison two days earlier, was walking with his daughter along a street at 6.30pm when the killer fired two bullets, one in an arm and a fatal shot to the head.

Authorities are also investigating the source of the gun, which was found by a police officer in a rubbish bin in the street behind the crime scene.

It is the second firearm crime to take place in Calle Córdoba, in la Vega de San José. Earlier last month, there was another gunshot incident on the street, but no one was injured then.

The two incidents have set off alarm bells, especially given the strict Spanish laws on the ownership of guns and the intense scrutiny that surrounds them, compared with other countries.

They were there, courtesy of the Pequeño Valiente Association, which is backed by the local Town Hall and the Canarian Government, as well as the Tenerife and Gran Canaria Cabildos.

This National Camp, for children with cancer, is celebrating its first trip to the South of Tenerife. Last year, the initial event was held in Gran Canaria.

It is open to children from all over Spain, although most are from the Archipelago, and they are treated to a few days of fun, as well as visiting places of interest.

José Jerez, the Pequeño Valiente Association President, thanked Arona Town Hall, and said: “All

the participants in this camp, which is free, are brave little people who have overcome cancer.” He also praised the quality of the campsite’s facilities and said they would again “celebrate this activity next

year with more children”.

Jerez added that the children were “all champions, who teach us that overcoming cancer is possible”.

Arona Mayor José Julián Mena, said: “Talking about

cancer, especially when it affects children, is a topic that affects us deeply.”

He added: “Initiatives like the Pequeño Valiente one are not only positive, but they send a very important message to society.”

EasyJet is making it easier to travel now BUDGET airline easyJet is introducing a new service which allows passengers to check hand-luggage into the hold for just £4, and go Hands-Free through security and the airport.

Tel: 902 232 102 info@canarianweekly.com Publisher, proprietor and Editor: MES ONCE SL Depósito Legal TF 1209/97 CIF: B- 38753802

As more air travellers have been ditching their suitcases and cramming as much as they can into their carry-on handluggage, it means that overhead lockers on many flights cannot cope with the extra volume. The new, innovative easyJet HandsFree option will cost £4 per person, or £10 for a group bundle (maximum six people) per flight, and is designed to encourage

people to leave items at the airport bag-drop desk before they go through security.

It also neatly sidesteps the security checks concerning restricted amounts of liquids, especially if you’re carrying an expensive bottle of your favourite perfume.

Passengers’ cabin bags will be tagged as priority and will be among the first to be delivered to the luggage

belt when the plane arrives at its destination. A small plastic bag will be given to you in which to place any valuable and essential items for your flight.

And you can carry a small, under-the-seat laptop or handbag on board with you.

Duty-Free items purchased in the airport can also be taken on board.

Hands-Free passengers will also board the aircraft after Speedy Boarding by showing their baggage tag to the ground crew.

The scheme was tested by easyJet in France this spring, and it will now be rolled out to all airports in its network, except London Gatwick.

The maximum bag size (length + width + height) is 56cm x 45cm x 25 cm, including handles and wheels.

Inheritance Tax – Passing on Your Wealth

What is Inheritance Tax? Inheritance Tax is a tax on the assets that belong to you when you die. Assets include the total of everything owned by you and a share of anything owned jointly. The most common assets are:

Wills

• Personal Property • Property/Land • Shares • Personal Belongings

• Securities • Cash • Future inheritances • Life insurance death benefits not in trust

The first step to estate planning is to make a Will. Without a Will your estate may be subject to the intestacy rules which could mean that the things you leave will not go to the people you would have chosen.

Once you have made a Will you should review it regularly to ensure that it reflects any changes to your circumstances.

The Nil-Rate Band

For the tax year 2017/18 the nil-rate band is £325,000 (£650,000 jointly). If your estate is worth less than the nil-rate band inheritance tax would not be payable.

If your estate is worth more your executor is liable to may tax on anything above this threshold.

The current rate of Inheritance tax is 40%.

If you give away your home to your children (including adopted, foster or stepchildren) or grandchildren, your threshold will increase to £425,000.

Exemptions

There are a number of exemptions that could be used to immediately reduce the value of your estate. If used correctly, they are the most efficient way to reduce any inheritance tax liability.

Annual exemption allowance – you can gift up to £3,000 each year. If you do not make gifts up to the allowance within the year, the balance can be carried over into the following years allowance.

Spouse exemption – most married couples can, by arranging through a Will, ensure that no inheritance tax is payable if on the first death the deceased spouse’s assets pass to the surviving spouse.

Wedding/Civil Partnership gifts - Parents up to £5,000; grandparents up to £2,500; anyone else up to £1,000.

Small gifts – up to £250 to as many individuals as you like per tax year

Charity

Gift at least 10% of the value of your net estate in your Will and reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax paid to 36%.

Gifts

If you can afford to gift some of the assets you own it may be possible to reduce the size of your estate, which could reduce your potential inheritance tax bill.

Normal Expenditure

Regular gifts made from surplus income can be exempt.

Trusts

A trust is a legal arrangement where a person (trustee) hold assets for the good of one or more beneficiaries. Trusts are complicated and must be set up carefully. If you would like more details about trusts and how they can work for you, please give us a call.

The information here does not constitute advice. This information is relevant to a UK domicile. Your domicile’s usually the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born. It may have changed if you moved abroad and you don’t intend to return.

We have covered some of the options available to you to mitigate inheritance tax in this article, however, to discuss the options that are right for your own personal circumstances, please give us a call.

Guardia crack down on bunch of thieves TEN members of a criminal gang in Mallorca have been captured after a Spanish police sting, involving more than 100 officers, and spread over several months.

The Los Lobatos gang are, allegedly, the masterminds behind at least 400 armed robberies on the island.

They are believed to have stolen cash and valuables, worth up to 10 million euros, from homes and businesses.

Jewellery and other costly artefacts, valued at more than 11,000 euros in total, were seized during

the raids. The complex operation involved monitoring each member of the gang individually, using advanced surveillance techniques.

According to the officers, the crime ring was organised strictly, with members specialising in different areas of expertise, from deactivating alarm systems to staking-out future victims.

Last Tuesday, Guardia Civil agents revealed that they had arrested the gang members during raids in Palma de Mallorca, Llucmajor, Inca, and Lloret de Vistalegre, as they planned their next strike.

The officers also uncovered various hide-outs used by the thieves to stash their stolen goods.

Tenerife gecko goes on holiday to Cheshire

Safe nicked from Arico Town Hall

A GANG who broke into Arico Town Hall in the early hours of Monday and came away with a small safe, will have been bitterly disappointed!

It contained paperwork only, according to Mayor Elena Fumero, and online duplicates can be produced easily.

The thieves broke in through the building’s main

door by removing the lock’s cylinders. Once inside, they took the small safe, which had been anchored to the ground, as well as opening cabinets and drawers, They also broke into the cultural area, hunting for money or valuables. But, said an unflustered Mayor: “There is nothing to worry about. This will not affect the general public in any way.”

The Guardia Civil’s forensic unit has taken samples and fingerprints from the municipal facilities.

WHEN Sophie Williams found a baby gecko in her suitcase after returning to her Cheshire home from a Tenerife holiday, she contacted the RSPCA. The charity promptly transferred the little mite to Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre in Nantwich, Cheshire.

Despite his four-hour adventure on the plane, the creature, just two inches long, has settled in nicely, and has been transferred to a specialist, exotic facility.

Sophie, from Congleton,

told the Crewe and Nantwich Guardian: “The evening before we came home, my stepson sent me a photo of a tiny gecko in our apartment and said, ‘Look what’s visited me’.

“I asked him where the gecko had gone, but he didn’t know. But I believe it found its way inside his trainers, which were then put into our luggage.

“When I opened the suitcase at home, this little gecko just popped up. My husband managed to put him in a container and we called the RSPCA. And we are so pleased he’s doing well!”

Stapeley Grange manager Lee Stewart said: “The gecko is so small that he

could easily have been missed. We think he is a common, wall gecko, which can grow up to 15cms.

“As he is so small, he will be going to an experienced carer, who will be able to give him the specialist care he needs.”

Mr Stewart added: “We don’t often get stowaway animals from abroad at the centre, but this is a timely reminder.

“Many people are going abroad on their summer holidays, so always check your clothes, towels and shoes properly when packing to return home from a trip.

“You never quite know what surprising souvenir you might bring home with you.”

Holiday-rental scam too hot for police to handle

AN online holidayrental scam has affected more than 2,000 British holiday-makers says the UK’s Action Fraud group, which confirms that the number is rising, despite the conviction of 30 fraudsters.

According to the fraud investigation team, the number of fake websites is growing, and it is proving to be a difficult task for police to unravel.

A letter, sent by a detective to a victim, says: “The crime you have reported is one of over 2,000 such reports we have received.

“In most cases, by the time we are notified of the crime, the funds you have transferred will have already been transferred to other accounts, and lost to withdrawals.”

The detective confirmed that the shakedown is usually run by foreign criminals, who travel to the UK to open “several hundred” bank accounts,

fraudulently, and many of them within London.

But their e-mail and IP addresses, and also telephone numbers, are all either outside the UK or can’t be traced.

As soon as one account is discovered, the gang close it down and open another, with the Metropolitan Police now investigating under Operation Arad.

But despite convicting 30 fraudsters, and jailing some for up to five years, an Action Fraud spokesperson admits the scale of the fraud is causing problems.

“Unfortunately, because of the huge resource implication, it is not possible to investigate individual offences and update individual victims,” the letter adds.

Investigating officers have linked the offences to e-mails using the names Lucy or Amy. And the Olive Press has exposed up to a dozen fake websites, marketing properties around Mallorca and the Spanish mainland.

But many of the sites were shut down, after the online newspaper appealed to Google or their web hosts.

Child of two is KO’d by drugs

POLICE are investigating the case of a two-year-old boy, who was knocked out by a cocktail of cocaine and cannabis.

The child was rushed, unconscious, to Candelaria Hospital by his parents, who live

in Añaza, Santa Cruz.

He was admitted, immediately, to intensive care, and, when a urine test showed positive for cocaine and cannabis, medical staff notified the National Police.

After interviewing the paediatrician who treated the toddler, officers also questioned the child’s father, who was arrested

a short time later.

The couple have two other children, and the mother will also have offered her version of events.

Police believe the youngster might have consumed both drugs at home because of parental negligence.

A judge has asked for information on the family’s home life.

Terrorist group is arrested

Hindu faithful in tribute to Ganesh

THE local Hindu community last Sunday celebrated one of their most sacred rituals in their calendar, Ananta Chaturdashi, in honour of Ganesh.

The celebrations, which took place on La Caleta’s Enramada beach, attracted a large gathering of Adeje Hindu residents and many other Adejeros, who joined their neighbours in the homage to Ganesh.

The religious event has been held for over three decades in Adeje, and the festival was, said Mayor José Miguel Rodriguez Fraga, “a reflection of the peaceful, social harmony that exists in Adeje”.

Traditionally, on this day, people travel to the water with statues of Ganesh, son of Shiva and Parvati, in processions, and Lord Ganesha is departed, only to be welcomed the next year with equal excitement.

This is a time for ridding oneself of material and spiritual obstacles. Ganesh,

one of the more loved of the Hindu divinities, is the god of protection and good luck.

Ganesh, featuring the body of a child and the head of an elephant, is brought, shoulder-high, along a processional route, accompanied by dancing and singing, to the sea’s edge, where a boat awaits to take him and submerge him in the waters.

The events in Adeje culminated in an offering of food and good company, celebrating peace and local harmony.

According to Hindu culture, before embarking on any form of negotiation, training, celebrating a marriage, or the beginning of any new project, one should pray first to Ganesh.

The Tenerife Sur Hindu association said: “Remembering our customs and traditions is also a chance to reinforce our values of social harmony.

“We hope that everyone who wishes to, will continue to take part in our cultural events, as we continue to integrate into our Canarian culture.”

SPAIN’S National Police, and Morocco’s domestic intelligence service (DGST), have arrested five Moroccans and one Spaniard on terrorism charges.

The Spanish Home Office announced the capture in a statement on Wednesday morning, saying that five individuals were arrested in Morocco and one in the Spanish North African city of Melilla.

One man holds Spanish nationality, four are Moroccan and the sixth is a Moroccan resident in Spain.

The cell’s leader, resident in Melilla, was “taking advantage of his job as a teaching assistant in a youth re-education centre, to recruit and radicalise especially-vulnerable young people”.

The Home Office said his work had been “effective” and that the cell he had built up was “ready to turn to violent Jihad, with a dangerous level of activation”.

The group held secret, night-time meetings “to plan large terrorist attacks”. They also had physical training sessions and simulated beheadings.

The Home Office, which described bilateral cooperation with Morocco as “excellent”, added: “A dangerous threat has been neutralised.”

Ace cops drive a fair way to win!

Guardia saves man who wanted to die A GUARDIA Civil officer prevented a man from jumping into a 20-metre chasm near his Icod de la Vino home in what appeared to be an attempt to kill himself.

The man, suffering from mental-health issues, had called the Emergency Services, saying he had swallowed a cocktail of prescription drugs.

Two officers arrived at his home and spoke with him and his partner

while awaiting an ambulance.

But the man ran off, suddenly, and one of the officers, realising he was heading towards an area with a 20m drop, thought he wanted to take his own life.

The officer raced after him and tackled the unfortunate person to the ground before he could jump.

Once the ambulance arrived, however, the Guardia pair calmed him down enough to enable paramedics to treat him, before taking him to the nearest medical centre.

A MAN who jumped a police check-point on Wednesday, ended up being arrested on Las Americas golf course, after leading the cops a merry dance around the fairways.

The incident happened at 8am, and, after damaging the course in his Daewoo during the chase, the 28-year-old Argentine was finally intercepted.

The driver, who failed a breath-test, also had a fake driving licence and has been charged with drunkdriving, other road-safety offences, civil disobedience and falsifying an official document.

The youngsters informed National Police officers that he had approached them in a Puerto del Rosario bakery and asked them their age.

But even when the man, with a police record, was made aware that they were minors, he still offered them 1,000 euros to have sex with him.

Accountancy student’s fortune didn’t add up!

A STUDENT who received a staggering £850,000 instead of her usual £85 monthly university food grant, really went for it with a mammoth, 73-day, spending-spree with her pals.

Sibongile Mani (pictured), a 27-year-old studying accountancy, was said by pals to have undergone a “Cinderella-like transformation” overnight after the blunder.

She attends the Walter Sisulu University in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, and has £85 (1,400 Rand) put into her bank account each month in food and book allowances.

But one month, Intellimali, the company administering her university financial-aid allowances, messed up and sent £850,000 (14 million Rand) in cash to the hardup student.

Eyebrows were raised, initially, when her neat, corn-row hairstyle was

replaced with £180-a-time Peruvian weaves. She also began wearing designer outfits, and bought a brand new iPhone 7.

Sibongile began flashing the cash, kitting out her closest friends with new outfits and drinking £50-a-time bottles of whisky. She was also jetting herself and her pals around the country to wild parties.

Suspicions grew even more when a leaked till receipt,

from a local shop, showed she had more than £800,000 in her account, and her wild spending became more lavish.

She was finally “outed” by Samkelo Mqhayi, deputy branch secretary of the South African Students Congress (SASCO), who reported her to the National Students’ Financial Aids Scheme.

“She threw surprise birthday parties for her friends, showered them with expensive gifts and flew them to events where she bought the best seats,” he said.

“When the receipt was leaked, showing a balance of R13.6 million in her account, I called NSFAS, who confirmed that the initial amount was R14 million.”

By the time she had been reined in, after a 2½-month spending spree, they discovered she had been blowing £666 a day, which is a staggering sum in South Africa. And the total missing from the account is now £50,000!

A fellow-student said: “She

went from being a hard up, hum-drum, run-of-the-mill student to leading a lavish lifestyle, and we thought she must have won the Lottery.

She must have thought she’d had won it, too, when she got that cash!”

Zolile Zamisa, the SASCO branch chairman, said: “We are shocked. Not so long ago, we were protesting for thousands of students who were left without funding because of cash shortages.

“Yet she was living a lavish lifestyle, and this cannot be allowed to happen again.”

In a Facebook post, Sibongile claimed she had reported the error to the authorities, adding: “My personal life has become a social-media scandal. I have been named and shamed in public.

‘Today, I am a bad person… a person who stole the money of students. But it is very clear that I didn’t make the error.”

Intellimali chief executive Michael Ansell said: “Legal action will be taken against the student. A forensic investigator had been appointed.”

This fiesta floats everyone’s boat

IT is a religious celebration, and a deeply-felt thank-you from the fishermen to their patron. But Candelaria’s Virgen del Carmen fiesta makes plenty of time for music, dancing, fancy costumes and amazing fireworks.

The big stage and showground, in the centre

of town, thronged with people for late dancing and kept everyone spellbound by the election of the Junior Fiesta Queen.

The winner, and the other entrants, also paid a visit to CD Marino’s match on Sunday. The club was actually formed by Los Cristianos fishermen in 1933.

That bond with the sea drives the whole fiesta, and the Hat Party on Saturday featured plenty of maritimeinspired creations, plus a

few pointed references to the microalgae currently around the coast.

A flower-petal mosaic was laid from the door of the church to see the statue of the Virgen off on her journey around town on Sunday evening.

Large crowds followed in her wake until she was loaded on to one of the biggest, decorated fishing boats as it led a procession around the harbour. A life-size statue is sunk on the sea bed so she can bless boats that pass overhead, while a smaller

shrine stands on the quay side.

Sunday night was full of competing beauty.

The Achaman Jovenes Sabandenos group serenaded from the quay-side, and a late-night firework display even outshone the town’s New Year´s Eve efforts with a spectacular, 30-minute show.

In fact, the whole fiesta was quite a prize catch.

Catalan taxpayers facing big gamble THE Spanish Government’s Finance Ministry reminded Catalan taxpayers on Monday that criminal prosecution could follow if taxes are not paid on time to the correct revenue collector.

The warning comes as Catalonia’s proposed illegal independence referendum on 1st October draws near.

It means that companies and the self-employed across Spain and the

Catalan region, who pay VAT, corporation tax and income tax, must forward their payments to the Spanish Government in Madrid, as usual.

Catalan First Minister Carles Puigdemont (Junts Pel Sí, “Together For Yes”) announced earlier that a newer, updated version of the Catalan Tax Agency was ready to do business and prepared for whatever happens after the referendum. He tweeted: “We’re ready!”

Deputy First Minister Oriol Junqueras (Esquerra, ERC) told his boss that the agency “was ready

to become the key piece of the tax system”, collecting tax revenue of 42bn euros.

The secession bill presented last week, which has already been tabled in the Catalan regional parliament, includes plans for taking control of tax revenues in the region.

Spain’s regional tax authorities are allowed to collect some revenues, from inheritance or wealth taxes, for example.

But the bulk of ordinary taxes, such as income tax, VAT, corporation tax, etc, are still the state’s responsibility.

The Finance Ministry, in its statement, said taxes were considered paid, only if the money were sent to the right agency.

If not, they will be considered unpaid, leaving taxpayers liable to inspection, fines, and possible criminal prosecutions.

Companies are not exempt, and the Ministry warned that company directors could be prosecuted for “fraudulent tax behaviour”.

Under Spanish tax laws, late payment of VAT is considered an administrative problem… up to a point. But late, or non-payment of quarterly

employee income tax contributions is considered to be theft.

While Catalonia created its own tax agency in 2007, said the Finance Ministry, the Constitutional Court had struck down provisions recently in a new regional law, which were unconstitutional or, otherwise, illegal.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said on Monday: “The referendum is absurd and a con.”

But Catalan First Minister Puigdemont replied later that day: “Forbidding ballot boxes would be a coup [d’état].”

The Credit-card tricksters swiped over 6m euros SIX men have been arrested across Spain as part of an international crackdown on a gang who have stolen more than six million euros across half-adozen countries, by defrauding thousands of people.

The investigation, into a global, credit-card, fraud scheme, has also led to arrests in the US, France, Panama, the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica, according to a statement from the Spanish police, who also swooped on the cities of Zaragoza, Madrid and A Coruña.

The scam involved stealing customers’ credit-card details from e-commerce sites, before extracting cash on the cards through fake Spanish companies.

Costa Ricans involved in the racket broke through the security of online shopping sites to get credit and debit card details, or, otherwise, bought them illegally from third parties.

Meanwhile, the criminal gang’s Spanish members opened a

number of fictitious companies, which created so-called, pointof-sale terminals (POS), through which the cards could be charged.

The money was then laundered through a plethora of fake, Spanish and foreign companies.

The huge probe began after a bank in A Coruna, north-west Spain, alerted authorities that its customers were complaining of unauthorised transactions on their cards, which, in all, added up to 14,000 euros!

Now, though, police have frozen more than 20 accounts linked to the crooked companies, and they searched four Zaragoza houses, from which they seized computers, vehicles and bank-transaction documents.

The organised-crime operation raked in over six million euros.

But, said the police statement: “The figure could have been much higher, considering the extent of its illegal operations.”

The investigation was conducted jointly by

Spain’s Technical Investigations Unit, Spanish national police, the FBI and secret services, French police, Europol and Interpol, among other crime-fighting agencies, in what was a massive operation.

Last December, police smashed a racket involving more than 200 Chinese criminals, who had defrauded their co-nationals of at least 16 million euros in their home country.

The gang, allegedly, contacted people by telephone in China, pretending to be neighbours, friends or family members, and warned them of “fraud scams”.

In later calls, members of the gang would pretend to be police, investigating the scams, and would convince victims to deposit money in bank accounts run by the ring “to help the authorities in their investigation”.

They operated out of 13 call-centres in Spanish residences, based in Barcelona, Madrid and Alicante.

Madrid pumps up the juice…

AN electric-car-sharing service in Madrid will be launched next month, following an agreement between Spanish Service Company Ferrovial and Renault.

It is called Zity and will operate with a fleet of 500 Zoe electric cars, covering the area within the M-30 beltway initially.

Theoretically, the Zoe has a maximum coverage of 400km, but is more likely to need recharging after 300km based on normal traffic conditions within the capital.

This will be the third such scheme operating in Madrid because Citroen and Mercedes, with their respective Smart cars, are us-

ing the city to demonstrate their ability to run non-polluting vehicles.

With various countries promising to phase out “gas-guzzlers” in the future, this type of experiment could have important, financial implications for manufacturers looking to win drivers over to their models.

Another E.coli scare

A BEACH at El Médano was closed again to bathers this week by Granadilla de Abona Council as a precautionary measure against E.coli, bacteria which can cause severe food poisoning.

A small contamination level was detected by testers, and Council spokesman Jacobo Pérez said it affected the Leocadio Machado beach only.

The low contamination level, presenting a minimal health risk, meant the Council hoped to reopen the beach in midweek, provided an analysis showed that the levels had dropped.

The same beach was also closed for E.coli contamination in June, along with three others in El Médano.

The Council says it has contracted an outside company to analyse the sea bed, “which will detect the origin of this bacterium”.

End of summer spells depression for jobless AS expected, Spain’s unemployment figures are on the up again as the summer season comes to an end. The number of jobless claims filed with employment offices rose by 46,400 people in August from the previous month.

This is a much steeper rise than over the same period last year, when the number of claims increased by 14,435 people. There are now 3,382,324 people in Spain officially registered as being out of work.

Having a stable job is very important, because, if it goes, you could be a long time in finding another one.

Meanwhile, the number of people contributing to Social Security, considered a measure of job creation, fell to 18,309,844 people in August, which is a 0.97% drop. It’s the largest job decline for that particular month since 2008.

These latest figures confirm the volatility of the Spanish labour market, characterised by its high rate of part-time and temporary positions, which are always the first to be axed when the crisis hits.

A new Eurostat survey also finds that Spain is among those member states with the greatest number of people, against their will, working in temporary posts.

Some 91.4% of Spain’s temporary workers said last year that they would have preferred to be in a permanent position. Only Cyprus had a higher rate,

at 92.2%. But most of these workers want a more stable, full-time job, particularly since they pay better.

Laura Martínez, 26, who has a degree in psychology and speaks English fluently, is an under-employed worker.

“It’s obvious that I would like to have greater job stability than the two months my current contract gives me,” said Martínez, who, despite her university degree, works at a call-centre.

Around 3.62 million people in Spain are in a similar situation, and the economic crisis only made it worse.

Before the real-estate crash

in 2008, 85% of temporary workers were unhappy with their status.

Now, that rate is closer to 92%, some 30 points above the EU and euro-zone averages, which are both in the 62% range.

The European Labour Force Survey finds that last year, an average of 26% of Spanish workers had temporary contracts. The latest figure for this past spring is slightly higher, at 26.8%.

In recent years, only Poland has outdone Spain, at 27%.

However, just 62.6% of Polish temporary workers said they wanted an openended contract, compared with 91.4% in Spain.

This difference could be related to the jobless rate, which was around 20% in Spain in 2016 and just over 6% in Poland. Having a stable job is very important.

But after you lose it, finding another one can take months.

At the other end of the spectrum, if it really is easy to find a job, workers are no longer so obsessed with finding a permanent position.

Village returns from depths after 40 years THE Catalonian village of Sant Romá, hidden beneath the Sau Reservoir for the past 40 years, began emerging this week as the water was drained.

The square bell-tower on the village church appeared days ago because water levels were allowed to drop to enable the local authority to clean the reservoir, on the River Ter, near Vilanova de Sau in north-east Spain.

Then the body of the church appeared, and the graveyard’s washed-out stone niches. And, as the dam gates were opened fully, after blocking the river’s flow since 1963, the rest of Sant Romá village began to appear.

A Romanesque bridge, and the farmhouses of former residents will be the next features to appear, as the water drains away over the next two to three weeks.

The reappearance of a place

which has lain under water for almost half a century is quite an event, creating an unprecedented rush of tourists to the reservoir.

Last weekend, with water levels already dramatically lower than normal, thousands of people turned up in their cars for a glimpse

of what was emerging.

Now a guard has been put on the village, because, said Jaume Orra, Mayor of nearby village Vilafranca de Sau: “I am worried that there will be accidents.”

The local water authority decided to drain the reservoir to clean it of

unwanted fish.

Two particular species, the silur (a catfish) and Alburnus alburnus (bleak), are destroying its internal ecosystem, causing concern that algae will spread and make the water unusable.

As many as 20 Spanish villages have been swallowed

up and submerged in the past 50 years, and Sant Romá was one of several to disappear under reservoirs in the 1950s and 1960s.

That’s because General Franco’s regime flooded valleys to hold irrigation water and run hydroelectric power stations.

And these incredible, disappearing villages are not just reserved for Spain.

The huge Ladybower Reservoir, constructed between 1935-43 in Derbyshire’s Upper Derwent Valley, in the Peak District’s National Park, resulted in Ashopton and Derwent villages (including Derwent Woodlands church and Derwent Hall) being submerged.

The Ashopton buildings were demolished before the reservoir was filled, but much of the Derwent village structure was still visible during a dry summer some 14 years later.

And in 1995, the entire village was exposed and available for the public to see following a long drought.

Magaluf drugs gang hit by a police sting

A POLICE sting led to a total of 14 people, including 12 Britons, being held in Mallorca on suspicion of smuggling drugs into Magaluf, via speedboats, and selling them to holiday-makers.

Spanish police, who were heavily-armed, some wearing balaclavas, swooped on 12 addresses in Palma and Calvia in the early hours of the morning, following a lengthy probe, which focused on the Punta Ballena party strip.

The sting, referred to by investigators as Operation Tatum, led to the seizure of 3.5kg of cocaine, ½kg of methamphetamine,

an unspecified amount of hashish, some ecstasy, huge quantities of MDMA tablets, plus hippy crack (nitrous oxide) and 123,000 euros in cash. In all, they found mountains of drugs, worth at least 150,000 euros.

Most of the cocaine was found in a car parked in a Palma garage, with more hidden inside a shoebox.

Detectives say the group, which included four women, represented the largest network of drug-dealers in this area of Magaluf, supplying a wide range of drugs. The majority of expats arrested were working as “on-street PRs” for local clubs, and at a hairdressing salon.

They were well-known in Punta Ballena, and bragged openly on social media about their work with local

clubs and lap-dancing bars, especially on their Facebook pages.

Police said this would give them easy, unhindered access to thousands of punters, without their legitimate bosses knowing.

Speedboats transported the drugs to the island because they were were able to mingle, unnoticed, among the thousands of craft visiting Mallorca every summer.

The drugs were then stored at various addresses in Palma and Calvia, with some taken to Magaluf on a daily basis.

But it is believed that the gang were picking up a fortune there every month.

Police became involved when one of the gang leaders was arrested after “battering” one of his own gang.

An incredible 103,000 euros in cash, luxury watches and four top-end cars were also seized during 12 raids in Palma, Magaluf and Barcelona.

The Britons, who have all been charged, while awaiting trial, have been named as: Derrick Rushton, 28; Aaron Harden, 32; Karl Clegg, 37; Lee Ford, 30; Dean Christie, 24; Jamie Burton, 41; Jessica Jean Rushton, 26; Meghan Tattershall, 22: Kerry-Anne Scott, 40, and Stephanie Morgan, 25.

Bail has been refused because they have been deemed to be “a flight risk” by the judge.

Two other British men were released without charge, while a Spaniard and a Dominican, both as yet unnamed, are still in custody.

The inquiry was launched on the back of the June 2016 Operation Daju, which led to five British and Spanish suspects being arrested, together with 5kg of cocaine seized.

They were known to supply street-dealers in Punta Ballena, but those held in the latest arrests targeted nightclub revellers, often while selling entrance tickets.

A Guardia Civil statement confirmed: “Of the 14 detainees, 13 were in Mallorca. And there was one in Barcelona, who acted as a link between the Netherlands and Palma.

“That’s where the middlemen were based, while the ticketing staff distributed drugs to the customers.”

Campaigners have no ‘trust’ in Home Office CAMPAIGN groups, representing EU citizens seeking to protect their right to remain in the UK after Brexit, have warned they will reject any deal that gives the Home Office any say in their future.

Grassroots campaign groups across the UK and Europe wrote to EU negotiators last week to say the Home Office “cannot be trusted”.

Their views followed the previous week’s debacle when the department, mistakenly, sent up to 100 letters to EU nationals

living in the UK, ordering them to leave the country or face deportation.

“If serious errors like this can be made whilst the UK is still administering a system based on EU freedom of movement rights, what is likely to happen when it is running its own system, having ‘taken control again’?” asked British in Europe, a coalition of 11 citizencampaign groups across the EU and the UK. An organisation called the3million group, which campaigns for the rights of EU citizens settled in the UK, has also told the government that it was, officially, opposing the post-Brexit offer of a new immigration category

of “settled status”.

Nicolas Hatton, co-founder of the3million, said: “We talked to some of the EU citizens who received these letters. It was a terrifying experience for them. We have tightened up our policy over the summer, and we have decided we have no option but to oppose the settled status on offer.

“We are saying that ‘settled status’ will put people under the direct rule of the Home Office, and that would be fine if the Home Office could be trusted.

But we have no confidence in the Home Office. They cannot be trusted.”

As the third round of Brexit talks got under way in Brussels, The British

in Europe group told EU officials that the purpose of its letter was not simply to complain about UK maladministration, but to ask the commission to “focus very closely on this issue in negotiations”.

The Home Office has apologised for its error, but British in Europe says the blunder highlights the risks of being at the mercy of the department after Brexit.

The group says it wants the Government and the EU to agree that EU citizens can continue to have permanent residency rights which stemmed from the EU treaty, also allowing British citizens in Europe to live in other member states.

It is also opposed to the application process for settled status, and wants people’s rights to be rolled over automatically to the post-Brexit era.

“The British government have pretended for a long time now that they care about EU citizens,” said Hatton. “We are seeking guarantees for our lifetime, and not one, two or five years.”

He added: “The ‘settled status’ on offer would give the Home Office extraordinary powers, and, after their maladministration, it is plain to see they cannot have a role here because there is no way the Home Office can guarantee those rights.”

BRITISH pensioners in Spain and the Canary Islands will continue to have access to healthcare in Spain after Brexit, if the UK Government gets its way. And Brexit Secretary David Davis is adamant that citizen rights remain a top priority.

Since UK voters decided to take Britain out of the European Union, the biggest fear for UK nationals and pensioners over here is whether, as expats, they will always have access to healthcare in Spain.

Their concern is principally economic, because the 700,000-odd British pensioners living in Spain, including those in Tenerife, have fixed-level incomes.

And those who survive on a state pension have every right to be concerned about being forced to pay for private healthcare policies, which, living here, would no longer be possible on a small, fixed-income.

Health-insurance policies are cheap enough for younger people, but those of an advanced age, and particularly those with existing medical conditions, are expected to make significantly-higher payments to compensate for being more likely to require medical services.

And, in many cases, the premiums are higher than a state pension would allow, to maintain a decent standard of living.

True, some Spanish areas now permit UK citizens outside of retirement age to pay into their state system at a reasonable rate, and also, non-EU citizens to contract and pay for healthcare services.

But there has been no guarantee that once the UK leaves the EU umbrella, this arrangement will still be available for UK citizens, either wanting to remain in Spain, or

Healthcare hopes for expat Britons are running high

move there in the future.

Survey after survey has shown that retired UK citizens living in Spain say their right to healthcare is among their principal concerns since the Brexit result.

The uncertainty, generated by a lack of clear information about what the future holds for them, has already had a clear impact on the property market, the numbers of Brits purchasing sunshine homes falling noticeably.

Many potential retirees are shelving plans to move here until there’s clarification about future conditions, under which expats will be permitted to either continue living in Spain, or move there.

It has also created great concern among the resident expat population in Spain about whether they will be forced to return to the UK. Many of them have no wish to do so, or are unable to because Spanish property prices have not yet recovered

The Sunday saviours TWO people were airlifted to safety in separate Tenerife incidents on Sunday afternoon, including a man who broke a leg.

A woman, who fell into a cave while hiking through the Masca barranco and suffered minor injuries, was taken to hospital for treatment.

Then, a 46-year-old

fisherman had to be rescued from Faro del Teno, in Buenavista del Norte, after a big wave knocked him over on to a rocky area, which was difficult to access.

The man broke a leg because of the fall, and was airlifted to the North airport, from where paramedics, who had been alerted, took him to the University Hospital for further medical care.

from the recession, which began in 2008 and quickly halved the value of many properties. Yet UK prices have continued to rise.

Many of us living here have found that the Spanish properties we purchased 10 years ago are now worth half the initial asking price.

To add salt to the wound, the UK property we sold to move over here is now beyond our financial reach because of drastic price increases there. So moving back right now is simply not an option.

In the past week or so, however, some of these fears have been allayed by an intense week of Brexit negotiations, even though many other points remain unresolved, as expected.

Brexit secretary David Davis said at the end of last week: “We have had long and detailed discussions across multiple areas, and we have seen some concrete progress.

“Talks have again focused on citizens’ rights, which remain a top priority. We have discussed a wide range of issues, which will have a significant impact on people’s lives.”

In particular, he added, both sides have agreed: *To protect the rights of frontier workers *To cover future socialsecurity contributions for those covered by the Withdrawal Agreement *That we should at least protect existing healthcare rights and arrangements for EU27 citizens in the UK, and UK nationals in the EU Mr Davis added: “That

is good news for British pensioners in the EU because it means they will continue to have their healthcare arrangements protected, both where they live, and, when they travel to another Member State, to be able to use an EHIC card (residents would use the Spanish equivalent when travelling back to the UK).

“On economic rights, we have secured the right of British citizens in the EU27 to set up and manage a business within their Member State of residence, and, of course, vice versa.

“On mutual recognition of qualifications, we have made progress in protecting the recognition of qualifications for British citizens resident in the EU27, and EU27 citizens in the UK. “All of these things are reciprocal; they work for Brits in the EU, and the EU27 in the UK. “The long and short of which is that British pensioners living in Spain now, will continue to have their right of access to the Spanish healthcare system, and Spaniards living and working in the UK will be able to use the NHS. “It will also allow UK pensioners living in Spain to travel to other EU countries on holiday, using the existing card system.

“The most recent figures released by a parliamentary select committee this year indicate that the UK spends around £650 million annually, reimbursing EU member states for the

medical costs of treating UK nationals, requiring treatment abroad.

“At the moment, there is no provisional agreement about whether UK tourists will be allowed to use the EHIC card when travelling in the EU. Although the UK Government is continuing to advocate it, the EU is holding back until later in the discussions.

“The Government strongly recommends that those travelling abroad take out private health insurance to cover the eventuality that they may require repatriation overland if they are unable to fly home.

That can cost thousands and is not covered by the EHIC card.”

The other key areas affecting expats living and working in Spain is a protection for their rights to live in one country and work in another, so those living in Spain and commuting to another to work would be permitted to carry on doing so, and their professional qualifications would also be recognised.

That would be good news for the Spanish healthworkers, who have moved to the UK to work, and qualified UK professionals working in Spain.

Provisional agreement has also been reached to coordinate on social security following Brexit.

Mr Davis added: “Obviously, this is only a provisional agreement, which will have to be ratified by member states at the conclusion of negotiations.”

It is being heralded by the Brexit secretary as “positive news for pensioners”, which should go a long way to allaying the fears of those residents currently living in Spain, and who worry about what the future holds for them, post-Brexit.

But he stressed: “It must be pointed out that the language used appears to indicate that this provisional agreement relates to those already living in Spain, and that the future for those intending to move to Spain has yet to be clarified.”

The dream of sending humans to Mars is closer than ever before. In fact, many scientists think that the first person to set foot on the Red Planet is alive today.

But where should the first explorers visit when they get there?

Horizon has gathered the world’s leading experts on Mars and asked them: where would they go, if they got the chance and what would they need to survive?

Using incredible real images and data, Horizon brings these Martian landmarks to life, from vast plains to towering volcanoes and from deep valleys to hidden underground caverns.

The programme will also show viewers where to land, where to live… and even where to hunt for traces of extra-terrestrial life.

This is the ultimate traveller’s guide to Mars.

In 2016 we saw the eagerly awaited return of the award-winning hit series, Cold Feet. Well received by audiences and TV critics alike, ten months on and the gang are back!

After agreeing to take things slow, Adam and his landlady Tina have been loved up for the past ten months – living across the hall from each other but rarely apart. They’ve spent hours renovating Adam’s rental house together and it turns out Tina has an eye for style. In fact Tina has more than a few good qualities and Adam is keen to dive into the next phase of their relationship. It’s only a matter of time before the perpetual romantic conjures up the kind of grand gesture he’s famed for, but will commitment-phobe Tina jump in with both feet?

Finally living out her dreams, Karen is set to launch her fledgling publishing house and its debut novel, but she’s struggling to keep a grip on home-life and PA Ramona is more hindrance than help. Karen quickly realises there’s a high price to pay for trying to have it all and teenage twins Ellie and Olivia have enough issues between them to keep Karen on her toes. They should be focusing on their exam revision, but trouble is on the horizon. The question is, will Karen notice before it’s too late?

Thankfully Pete has managed to shake off the black dog and is earning a tidy living as a chauffeur, but is looking for something more than being a glorified errand-boy for his rich clients. With no sense of value in his job, Pete desperately wants to be appreciated at home but Jenny is distracted by work and the opportunity to rise up the ranks. Meanwhile fourteen-year-old Chloe needs extra attention, especially after last year’s revelation that Pete isn’t her biological father. When an unexpected opportunity arises, Pete and Jenny have a tough decision to make – can they both get what they want and maintain a happy marriage, or has something got to give?

David’s fall from grace hit him hard and he’s now peddling life insurance to unsuspecting pensioners – a world away from life doling out high-brow financial advice. Like Pete, David is keen to find something more rewarding in his work life and unfortunately his love life is pretty lacklustre too. After being knocked back by ex-wife Karen, David licked his wounds and might just be ready to find love again – but where does a 50-something technophobe start?

Sunday 10th September, ITV1, 21.00 Discontent is growing in the country, and upon hearing the pleas of a silk weaver of Spitalfields, Victoria decides she must help. Against Peel and Albert’s advice, she hatches a plan: a fantastic medieval ball at the Palace, where the attendees have to wear costumes made from Spitalfields silk.

Meanwhile, having received no recent news from Lord Melbourne, Victoria grows increasingly concerned. She sends Emma to check up on her old friend to make sure all is well.

Despite his initial protestations, and struggling to find his place as a Prince Consort and husband, Albert allows himself to be seduced by the grandeur of the event, and the opportunity to finally wear a crown. When the ball arrives, it provides the perfect backdrop for old friends to reunite and romances to ignite, but it doesn’t receive the positive response from the nation that Victoria had hoped.

Professor Stephen Hawking thinks the human species will have to populate a new planet within 100 years if it is to survive. With climate change, pollution, deforestation, pandemics and population growth, our own planet is becoming increasingly precarious.

Planet Earth has been home to humankind for over 200,000 years, but with a population of 7.5 billion and counting and limited resources, this planet might not support us forever.

In this landmark film Professor Hawking, alongside engineer and radio astronomy expert Professor Danielle George and a former student, Christophe Galfard, join forces to find out if, and how, humans can reach for the stars and relocate to different planets.

Travelling the globe, they meet top scientists, technologists and engineers who are working to answer our biggest questions: is there another planet out there that we could call home? How will we travel across the vast distances of space to get there? How will we survive the journey? And how will we set up a new human civilization on an alien world?

Taking in the latest advances in astronomy, biology and rocket technology from the Atacama Desert to the wilds of the Arctic, viewers will discover a whole world of cutting edge research. This programme shows that Professor Hawking’s ambition isn’t as fantastical as it sounds - and that science fiction is closer to science fact than we ever thought.

Robson Green’s Coastal Lives

Tuesday 12th September, ITV1, 20.00 Robson Green explores the extraordinary lives and homes of the people who live on Britain’s coastline - from families who are swapping their city homes for a new life by the sea to those who have lived on the coast for generations.

In this Episode, Robson travels to the Isle of Skye In Scotland to meet a family who are planning to build their own timber house in just one day.

Croft farming is a huge part of life on Skye, and Robson meets a family of crofters who have lived here for 4 generations and helps them move their flock of sheep to Staffin island on a small boat.

Robson gets to try his hand at Scallop diving, joining a father and son team, in search of tasty local scallops hidden on the sea bed.

And finally Robson visits the isolated island of Soay, which only has 3 residents, to find out what life is like being so cut off from the mainland.

DCI Gabriel Markham and his team are working to find a serial killer, when a break in the case leads them to a potential culprit. Gabriel is torn between his conviction that they already know who the killer is, and the seemingly irrefutable evidence found at the last murder scene.

Meanwhile, there are fears that Gabriel’s intimate connection to the case may be skewing his professional ability to track down the perpetrator, and his personal relationships continue to impact on his work as he is given an ultimatum to face. The rest of Gabriel’s team are dealing with the conflict of their own personal and professional lives as they launch a thrilling, highstakes operation to catch the killer. But are they targeting the right person?

Gabriel makes one final connection in a desperate, last-ditch attempt to get to the truth.

DCI Gabriel Markham and his team are working to find a serial killer, when a break in the case leads them to a potential culprit.

How To Stay Young

Wednesday 13 September, BBC1, 21.00 Did you know we have two ages - our actual age and a body age - and scientists have discovered that our lifestyles affect how we age. Thanks to modern lifestyles many of us are ageing too fast and have a body age much higher than it should be.

Dr Chris van Tulleken and Angela Rippon join some of the country’s leading health experts to turn around the lives of people whose bodies are much older than their actual age. Using the latest scientific research on ageing, the expert team will try to help volunteers by giving them a complete lifestyle overhaul that will bring their body age closer to their birth age in just 12 weeks.

Working alongside the Institute For Ageing at Newcastle University the team has built the ambitious ageing lab, where they will be testing some the country’s worst offenders to get the most complete picture of how they are ageing. The results from these tests will give us their real body age, and allow us to give them a personal plan going forward.

In episode one, We’ve invited a group of ordinary Brits to our anti-ageing lab to take part in one of Britain’s biggest ever ageing experiments to find out their true body age - and the results are shocking.

Many of us are ageing much faster than we should be. Fifty one year-old Patrick Luckie (pictured) sees for himself how much damage his diet is doing to his heart; 54 year-old Harminder Balla knocks years off her body age by overcoming chronic stress, and 47 year-old Jenifer Tutty uses a radical new technique to cure her insomnia.

If you’ve ever worried about ageing or wanted to turn the clock back then this programme is going to show you how to do it.

Tribes, Predators & Me

Thursday 14 September, BBC2, 21.00 Wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan joins a remote family of Kazakh nomads to learn about training golden eagles. For thousands of years these people in western Mongolia have formed a unique partnership with these iconic predators, who help them catch furs to survive the freezing winters.

Now Gordon has the intimidating task of learn how to train a golden eagle to hunt, while trying to steer clear of talons stronger than a wolf’s jaws.

Gordon must bond with his young eagle so that it will fly on command and return to him. But how do man and eagle learn to trust one another?

And can Gordon get to grips with flying an eagle while riding a horse through the mountains?

Gordon spends days with his young eagle to build trust - even letting her sleep in his tent. He’s advised to “treat the eagle like you’d treat your wife”, but relationships don’t always run smoothly.

Eventually, Gordon faces some of the area’s top hunters in a ‘lure drag’ tournament, where his and his eagle’s skills are put to the test.

The success of Gordon’s eagle means that his mentor’s older eagle can be returned to the wild to breed. A moving and uniquely selfless act that illustrates the respect and love these remarkable people have for an iconic and persecuted predator.

Mister Winner is a sitcom starring Spencer Jones (Upstart Crow, Tim Vine Travels Through Time) as Leslie Winner, a well-meaning but hapless chap who is prone to accidents, complications and landing himself in unusual and often somewhat dangerous situations.

Leslie plans to propose to his girlfriend, Jemma Smith (Aimee-Ffion Edwards - Skins, Peaky Blinders), but unknown to him, she is having doubts about their relationship as he doesn’t take life seriously enough. Jemma is a young professional from Croydon who loves Leslie, but doesn’t know if that’s enough as he doesn’t have a job, any money, or ever take her anywhere. But he makes her laugh more than anyone else ever has.Jemma’s parents, Chris and Teresa, (Shaun Williamson EastEnders, Extras; Dorothy Atkinson - Call The Midwife, Mum) have stuck together through 30 years of marriage. Chris is managing stress with colouring books (although he didn’t realise there were ‘adult’ ones so is frequently seen colouring in pictures of elephants and children with balloons) and Teresa refuses to take life too seriously.

Strike’s agency is busy after the Lula Landry success. Yet when Leonora Quine asks him to track down her missing husband - the novelist Owen Quine - he takes on her case.

He speaks to Quine’s agent Liz Tassell, who was furious because Quine’s latest book, Bombyx Mori, libeled many people.

Strike is pained by a picture of his ex Charlotte and her new fiancé on the cover of a magazine, while his meeting with Robin’s fiancé Matthew is very awkward.

Strike learns that Quine’s mistress, Kathryn Kent, was hurt by her depiction in Bombyx Mori and then discovers that Quine co-owned a house with a rival novelist, Andrew Fancourt. He finds the Quine’s body there, disemboweled and surrounded by plates. Robin shows him Bombyx Mori - Quine’s grisly killing matching the death of the hero.

DI Richard Anstis instantly suspects Leonora, but Strike is unconvinced.

When Matthew’s mum dies, Robin is torn between personal and professional priorities. She chooses to help Strike and drives him to Devon to see Quine’s publisher (Chard) rather than going to Yorkshire with Matthew. Chard thinks Quine didn’t write the book alone - he suspects Jerry Waldegrave (Quine’s Editor).

Robin confronts Strike about her desire to be an investigator, and he tells her that it will be difficult if Matthew doesn’t support her. They rush back to London and Robin only just catches her train to Yorkshire.

Strike hears that Leonora has been arrested.

100 Year Old Driving School ITV1, 21.00

CW

This three-part documentary for ITV continues on from the channel’s 100 Year Old Drivers series to hit the road with some of Britain’s oldest motorists as they take mature driving tests to determine whether they should still be behind the wheel.

There are more than 200 drivers over the age of 100 in the UK. Motorists over the age of 70 must reapply through the post for a driving licence every three years but are not automatically re-tested.

This programme speaks to those aged in their 90s and 100s who are willing to risk their independence by taking the plunge and sitting an assessment overseen by examiners from The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).

The opening episode features 102-year-old John Errol Manners, from rural Wiltshire. A Royal Navy veteran who cheated death three times in the war, who is quite relaxed about his date with destiny even if he admits he likes to drive on the other side of the road because he claims he can see oncoming traffic better.

The handsome boys will fight it out with help from their loving girlfriends. They may have the muscles but do these lads have what it takes to go down in history? Cameras will follow eight modern day couples as they’re transported to an ancient world where they’ll live and fight like gladiators did 2000 years ago. Along the way there’ll be blood, sweat, tears and plenty of laughs. However, only the very best will make it through to the Emperor’s Games where one of them will emerge victorious and take home the Emperor’s gold (which today works out at ‘approximately’ £10,000!).

The boys will be trained by the fearsome “Doctore”, played by David McIntosh, and take part in daily, physical tasks, leading up to a grand final where they’ll battle it out in the colosseum in front of a baying crowd. Those who don’t cut it will be banished from the city.

Private rental

Our survey said…

property

By Carl pattison from Robot

IN the salon, I often quiz my clients about the service we offer here at Robot Hair.

It’s the only way I can find out exactly what our clients need and expect from their salon.

Most say that they expect a service and that we give it to them; our clients are mostly the sort who take pride, not only in their hair, but their whole appearance, too.

You can’t take off a bad haircut or colour, and you can’t just slip on another style if it’s been messed up, as if it were a wig. Your hair, in the wrong hands, can turn into a nightmare. Clients often tell me that the most important thing

to them is reliability, their salon is open when they want, and their stylist is always there when needed.

Having a good relationship with your stylist is the basis of all salon visits.

You may get what you want further down the road a little cheaper, but at what cost to your hair?

Using quality, cruelty-free products comes at a price, and putting thought into what we use on

clients takes time and a lot of patience.

Yes, we could go down the cheapand-cheerful route, but that’s not the policy in which we believe.

There’s more to your salon visit than what you see while you’re there. Most salons take a pride in what they use on your hair, and what they send out of the salon door with their name on.

Your hair matters, and that should matter to you.

Autumn the flash forward years. One of the looking. Keep it chic,

By Carl Pattison WITH Summer nearly over, we flip forward to what’s going to be gracing our favourite stores over the coming months.

We have seen “pleather”, a fake leather, used for a few years now, to give us an urban look, but at a more affordable, and less cruel, price.

This season sees pleather taken up a level, and used in classic items that will never go out of fashion; pieces that you will use again and again, throughout

biggest statement pieces is the pencil skirt, worn on its own with a shirt-style top, or under a jacket.

Nothing looks as elegant. Go for classic black, or the new winter colours which, this year, are greens, mustards and reds.

Earthy colours, such as beiges and chocolate-browns, will look great, too.

Jacket-wise, the pleather biker’s jacket, in its new, longer form, can be seen coming forward, but nothing too hard-

and not too studded, either.

Your version of this should be teamed up with natural-looking fabrics such as wool and silk, but not necessarily real. It’s the “look” you’re after, not the price tag.

If you’re a curvier girl, then don’t go for the shorter version of the skirt; keep it to the knee, to flatter you more. It’s not a look for everyone, but fashion is exactly that; finding your best style and wearing it well.

IF you rent out your property, you sometimes need to take a critical look at it, in case it’s necessary to make any changes for the months ahead.

Don’t lose sight of who is going to use the property.

For example, if you are aiming for high-end rentals, you will need to supply good-quality furniture and fittings to satisfy them. You don’t require a huge budget, and certainly don’t include anything of high worth or sentimental value but don’t skimp either.

Travellers often choose a private rental over a hotel stay because they enjoy having the comfort and convenience of home to hand, when they are away. Hotels are often bland and anonymous, so try to avoid that comparison.

Add a touch of character, but not too much.

Pictures and ornamental objects that bear some relation to the location are ideal, but family photos are not.

Don’t make false economies.

If you choose the cheapest beds, sofas and appliances, chances are you’ll end up having to replace them much faster than you would do if you had gone for a quality product.

False economies end up costing you more, in the long run.

Quality and durability are key, combined with a bit of designer flair to ensure that your property has an individual and exclusive look. Also, don’t buy everything from one big store so that your property looks like a catalogue, and everyone knows where it came from.

Guests will get the impression that you didn’t make enough effort to ensure that your property stands out. Chances are that it will be chosen on the basis of a photo, either at an agency or online, so a good photo is key to attracting good clients.

Old-fashioned décor will put people off, so try to update a traditional property with a contemporary interior, replacing old TVs and appliances if you can.

Holidaymakers go away to enjoy themselves and relax. The sitting room should be a place where they feel happy to enjoy a drink, watch a film or read a book. There should be at least as much seating in the lounge and

dining areas as there are beds.

Make sure there is enough storage for clothes and personal effects, and that there are plenty of hangers, for example. Consider safety as well.

If you are likely to attract families, keep them away from sharp edges and trailing cords.

Over the years, your rental property is likely to receive hundreds of guests, so try to buy items of furniture that are easy to clean and maintain. Pale fabrics, and textures such as suede, will mark easily, and be difficult to clean.

Delicate items, such as bedspreads that can’t be machine-washed, will create problems for whoever is in charge of cleaning, and a quick turnaround.

If you need some help in making sure your property is up to scratch and practical, in order to maximise your return, consider using an interior designer. All items and services are available from Deco Nuevo on 922 789 729.

By Emma

from Motorworld

WE have covered this subject before, but feel that it might be a good time to refresh readers’ memories, because we so often see people who have stopped at the roadside without jackets or triangles.

In order to be legal, and for your own safety, you must carry reflective jackets in the

Our everyday food and activity habits can lead to long-term damage and disease.

car for the amount of occupants, so, if your car is a five-seater, then, technically, you should carry five.

These have to be accessible from the inside of the car, because they must be put on before exiting the vehicle. If you breakdown on the motorway, first put on your jacket and then get your two warning triangles from the boot. Position one of them approximately 15 metres in front of the car, and the other approximately 15 metres from the rear.

Stay with your car, but it is safer to climb over the safety barrier and wait on the other side of that for the breakdown truck to arrive. All passengers should also leave the vehicle,

The main role of our kidneys is to filter our bloodstream and to remove toxins, waste, dead cells and excess water. Once properly filtered, waste leaves the body in our urine.

Our input of fluids affects our output of fluids, so that’s why urine tests are the most common way doctors diagnose kidney injuries, damage or other diseases.

Not drinking enough water We’ve heard it enough times by now - drink more water! It’s always been known that dehydration correlates to low kidney function.

Until recently, it was thought that rehydrating would

and wait with you in a safe place eg the other side of the barrier, or on another road, safely away from oncoming traffic.

This is very important, because if the car is involved in an accident while stationary, it could seriously injure or even kill the driver or passengers if they are standing in front, or to the side, of the car, as it will move upon impact.

Apart from this, you should always make sure you have a legal spare tyre or run flat, along with all necessary tools.

Regular checks of this are important, because they could save you a lot of heartache and worry and loss of time when tavelling.

With regards to paperwork, this is far

fully restore kidney function. New research suggests that recurring dehydration can lead to chronic kidney disease.

Picking the right fluids Knowing that dehydration hurts our kidneys, we may be tempted to turn to soft drinks as a source of more fluids.

Unfortunately, drinking fructose/glucose-rich fizzy drinks, and the additives in them, can actually damage our kidneys. Studies showed that patients who consumed naturally-sweetened, soft drinks showed an increased risk of chronic kidney disease Habits that damage our kidneys Smoking Extensive studies have confirmed that using cigarettes and other products, such

more complex. Firstly, you should note that all paperwork carried MUST be an ORIGINAL. This means that you must carry: 1.

Permiso de Ciculación for the car.

This is the permission for the car to be on the road. This document carries the make, model, engine size, fuel type, chassis number, registration number, date of first registration and the date of the last change of ownership. It also bears the owner’s name and surname, but no longer shows the address due to data protection; this is held on the Tráfico system.

2. The Ficha Tecnica - this is the car’s log book, which comprises all the technical

data, engine size, model, tyre sizes and the optional sizes permitted, along with the manufacturer’s details and the chassis number. On the reverse of this are details about the ITV, and when it is valid until. It is important to note that there will be a specific date on here, whereas on the sticker displayed in the windscreen, it shows only the month that it is valid until.

3.

Your in-date photocard driving licence, either a Spanish one, or, if you are not resident, then a European version, only where appropriate.

4. Your current, indate passport.

5. Your current, up-todate Residencia.

6.

Your insurance documents, and the

receipt for proof of payment of the premium.

If you do not wish to carry your original passport and Residencia, notarised copies are acceptable, legally. With regard to the Ficha Tecnica and Permiso de Circulación, for a fee at Tráfico you can obtain what is known as Copias Compulsadas of these documents, which are legal to carry and produce if stopped by the police.

Other things that you are not legally obliged to carry, but can prove useful, are a pen and notepad or some paper, a small torch, an accident claims form and a small medical kit.

This list is by no means exhaustive, but is a guideline for you.

as smokeless tobacco, reduces kidney function.

Painkillers Long-term use of painkillers has been linked to a 50% increased risk of kidney cancer!

Chronic conditions like migraines or joint pain shouldn’t be treated with NSAIDs (non-steroidal, antiinflammatory drugs).

Instead, talk to your doctor about safer, long-term, pain-relief options.

Over-the-counter medications Some OTC drugs have been linked to kidney damage, such as aspirin, paracetamol and ibuprofen.

Extreme exercise Surprisingly, extreme exercise habits can cause severe kidney damage. It’s dangerous stuff! It’s a good idea to speak with your

medical practitioner about the safety of your fitness habits.

Poor sleep A study of middleaged people found that those who slept less than six hours a night, or more than ten hours including naps, experienced renal hyperfiltration, an early warning sign of kidney disease.

Too much protein Renal hyperfiltration, the same condition as brought about by poor sleep, can also be caused by a highprotein diet, especially after meat-heavy meals. Remember, a key factor in any health plan is moderation.

Too much sugar Just like drinking your sugar in the form of fizzy drinks, eating a high-sugar diet can lead to the same problems. Stay away from too many sweets, chocolate and desserts, for your kidneys' sakes.

Magnesium deficiency Magnesium has many roles to play in

your body’s proper functioning.

A magnesium deficiency can cause kidney stones.

Kidney-health myths Two, common, kidney-health myths are circulating that have been refuted by scientific study: some sources claim that drinking alcohol causes kidney damage.

In a 2015 study, researchers found the opposite is true: the more participants reported drinking, the lower their risk of chronic kidney disease.

However, there are other health problems associated with heavy alcohol consumption.

Some people think that drinking coffee hurts your kidneys, too.

According to sources, this has been disproven.

A 2017 study confirmed no association between coffee consumption and risk of kidney disease, which will come as a relief to all coffee lovers!

Food ideas to sleep on ACCORDING to the Stanford Centre for Sleep Sciences and Medicine, nearly one-in-10 adults in the United States suffers from insomnia.

Although most of these people suffer from this condition just for the short-term, many of them also experience the chronic form (difficulty falling or staying asleep for a period of more than six months).

Such sleep deprivation can significantly decrease the quality of one’s life.

While stress related to work and family remains the No.1 cause of insomnia, eating the wrong foods, such as those rich in sugar, caffeine, gluten or

polyunsaturated fat, can also contribute to insomnia.

Therefore, improving one’s diet is an important first step towards ending this condition, especially if one favours foods that are known to improve sleep.

Foods that aid sleep include: Almonds Almonds are one of the

best foods for treating insomnia because they're excellent sources of magnesium, which is a natural muscle relaxant and contains anti-stress properties.

A study published in the Journal of Research in Medical Sciences found that magnesium supplementation could “improve subjective measures of insomnia,

sleep. For example, a study published in the European Journal of Nutrition found that volunteers who consumed a tart, cherry-juice concentrate for seven days demonstrated “significantly elevated” total melatonin content in their urine, compared with the control group. Consequently, the study group experienced improved sleep quality and efficiency.

Bananas Many people are often surprised to find that bananas can aid sleep, because they’re wellknown for boosting energy.

Nonetheless, bananas are also rich in magnesium, potassium and tryptophan, which are the “magic trio” of sleep boosters. Tryptophan is especially effective in this regard, because it is the precursor to the two neurotransmitters, serotonin and melatonin, which modulate sleep.

Valerian The root of the valerian plant, which is usually consumed in tea or tincture form, has been used as a sleeping aid since Ancient Greece and Rome.

Moreover, its sedative and anxiolytic properties have been proven by numerous studies.

A study published in “Menopause” found that valerian extracts provided a “statistically s i g n i f i c a n t ” improvement in sleep quality among postmenopausal women suffering from insomnia.

The study authors concluded that the “findings from this study add support to the reported effectiveness of valerian in the clinical management of insomnia”.

Oatmeal Although oatmeal is usually associated with breakfast, its nutritional composition, high in magnesium and potassium, also makes it a suitable evening food. Even the very nature of oatmeal (warm, soothing and soft) is indicative of sleep and calm.

Moreover, oatmeal tends to be mixed with milk, which is one of the best-known relaxation drinks.

Dairy foods Old wives' tales suggest that warm milk can make you sleepy, but the truth is that any dairy product can help.

Calcium, found in cheese, yogurt and milk, helps the brain use the tryptophan found in dairy to manufacture sleeptriggering melatonin.

A bundle of fluff!

THIS cute little girl arrived at our refuge a few days ago, after being abandoned and found wandering around in a dazed state. She joins the other 220 dogs at the refuge who are all looking for new homes.

We have, once again, had a large number of dogs arriving at the refuge over the summer months. If you are looking to adopt a dog, please do come and visit us. Every animal is fully inoculated, castrated/ sterilised, micro-chipped, heart worm and flea free, and has a clean bill of health before leaving our refuge.

We do not ask for payment for the adoptions, but donations are welcomed

towards the vast running costs of our refuge.

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.

Give our Jo a good push towards 2018 Marathon OUR Canarian Weekly page designer has decided to take the plunge and run the 2018 London Marathon next April.

Jo has managed to get a place in the team running for Leukaemia Care UK. It is a disease close to her heart, and she has already begun her fund-raising.

Jo has started a “Brown

Money Challenge”, in which she is asking people to donate their one, two and five-cent coins.

And Canarian Weekly is helping her spread the word by getting our readers to raise as much money as possible for such a noble cause.

Any donation, big or small, will be gratefully received, and Jo is playing her part by early-morning slogging around the roads, in a bid to build her

fitness levels gradually.

If you would like to drop off any coins at the OasisFm/ Canarian Weekly offices in La Chafiras, near popular bathroom company El Baño Barato, we are open Monday-Friday, from 9am til 5pm. No counting necessary!

You can also leave them at The Swan and Manhattans Bars in Los Cristianos, or ring 822 141 517 and Jo will arrange for them to be collected.

Cats Welfare News NOT only do humans hold some of the greatest world records, cats do, too, and what better way to show you that cats are the tops, than to tell you about some of the world records held by these amazing animals.

Top Cat

In 2015, Merlin, a rescue kitty from Torquay, Devon, earned a Guinness World Record title for the loudest purr by a domestic cat, after registering 67.8 decibels.

In 2013, flying-feline Alley catapulted himself to a record with a 1.82m (6ft) leap. Alley, a rescue cat, is part of the Amazing AcroCats touring show in the US. In 2010, Mymains Stewart Gilligan earned his world-

K9 Animal News

record title by measuring in at 48.5in long, making him the world's longest cat.

Crème Puff, an American cat, passed away at the grand old age of 38 years and 3 days (equivalent to 168 cat years), and held the record for the world's oldest cat. There are many others, too, which shows you that cats really are the best.

Loretta Loretta is a gentle, friendly, three-month-old kitten, who likes to find a high place where she can nap and survey her home. She has had her kitten injections, and is happy with other dogs and cats. So she is a perfect match for a busy family, in a home with other animals.

Adoptions All our cats awaiting adoption can be seen on our website at www.catswelfare-tenerife.com/pets.

K9 kittens Dog of the week - Lion LION is a threemonth-old male, and quite possibly the cleverest pup we have ever had. He will be a breeze to train.

His paws are quite big, but it looks like his legs will be short; so let’s say he should be medium-sized when fully grown.

THERE are lots of cute and playful kittens in the K9 cattery right now, all keen to quickly find their forever homes.

Sweet Adelaide (pictured) is just one of them.

If you are interested in adopting any of our lovely kitties, and would like to meet them, please contact us. You can also see them on our website www.k9tenerife. com. Go to “K9 cats/Cats waiting for homes”, or visit K9 Tenerife Cats on Facebook.

We need a van!

Our van has died at the worst possible moment; the 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.

CD Marino

Big switch, big turn-on!

COACH Toni Dumpierrez turned a stroll into a rout with a tactical switch that fired CD Marino to an impressive home win.

Just before the half-hour, he moved Fran Delgado from left-wing to left-back, and switched Kevin Castro from that slot to a free-roaming midfield role. And didn’t the captain relish it!

The visiting defence had already looked rocky, but it was keeper Erwing who felt the knockout blows.

Firstly, Kevin launched a fierce strike from deep on the right that flew under the diving keeper. And a minute later, Pedro robbed Raul and hit his own screamer, which left the keeper thumping a post after the ball landed in his net.

Buzanada’s Valiente had clipped an early ball off the Marino bar, but his team were soon on the back foot as Fran forced a high catch from Erwing, and Zeben Buades rounded two defenders before shooting high.

Raul showed great determination to win a midfield tussle for

CD Marino 5 Buzanada 0

Buzanada, but home keeper Petar cut out his attack on goal by racing out and claiming the ball.

Fran opened up the white’s defence with a low cross, but Meñe came to his team’s rescue with a strong clearance.

Then came that decisive switch. Suddenly, Buzanada

were down and out. There was brief resistance, but a brave intervention by Petar amid a flurry of boots, and a calm clean-up from central defender Javi Saavedra, closed that door.

Five minutes from the break, Nami Sanchez, a summer signing from Buzanada, tested the keeper again.

The ball broke loose to Javi, who headed past the bewildered Erwing.

Juanma Naranjo nearly increased the half-time cushion with a shot that Erwing could only parry to Nami, whose effort went over the bar.

A double substitution for Buzanada failed to revive them at the restart.

Marino’s Zeben showed quick reflexes to launch a delicate chip that wasn’t far off-target, and goal No.4 came from Kevin Castro, this time after Pedro had teased the away defence.

Toñeca replaced Pedro, and Nami was denied again, the keeper’s toe just beating him to the ball.

Djavan was the final Marino sub, taking over from Zeben. But previous arrival Nami continued the charge for his first goal in the blue shirt, and he was rewarded two minutes from the final whistle.

After creating an opening for others with his speed and determination, it was a relatively simple invite as the ball came to him just outside the penalty area.

His finish, so deadly, completed the spree and put Marino up to ninth position in the league.

Marino are away to Union Vera this weekend, and have an extra home game on Wednesday (13th Sept) against Mensajero.

Women’s Football

Robbed, by late equaliser IT was a frustrating start to the new Premier League season for Egatesa Granadilla Tenerife, who could only draw at Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.

With new signings, and confidence high, the ladies wanted to make a statement of intent. And they took the lead after 13 minutes when Prieto put the ball through for scorer Maria Jose Perez, returning after a season with Atletico Madrid.

Ivory Coast forward Ange Koko came on for the second half to replace another newcomer, Megan Crosson, from California, who has played in the Japan league.

A tight, one-goal victory would have been an excellent Tenerife reward to bring home, but Rayo equalised with a Natalia

Rayo Vallecano 1 Egatesa Granadilla Tenerife 1

goal in the final minutes, despite Tenerife protests over a foul on keeper Pili Gonzalez, who joined in the summer from Tacuense of La Laguna.

Ange Koko went close to gaining all three points in the last gasps of the game, and there were plenty of reasons for the visitors to be pleased

with the away point.

This season, Tenerife have changed home ground to San Isidro, at the top end of the main road, and, on Sunday, they

host Levante at midday.

It will be quite a reunion for local-born Ramos sisters Natalia and Noelia, who moved to Levante from Tenerife in the summer.

CD Tenerife

Tenerife drop their guard

By Colin Kirby

DEFENSIVE lapses reminded Tenerife that the season is a marathon not a sprint, and it was a case of laces undone at the first bend as they lost at Valladolid on Sunday.

The two opening wins still mean a better-thanexpected start, and their lack of last-minute action in the transfer window was vindicated.

Jorge Saenz, on Under-21 duty with Spain, was sorely missed in the centre of defence, but at least he had resisted big-money lures from Premier clubs and stayed loyal to CDT. The other encouraging news was the debuts of recent signings Felipe Malbasic, and Paco Montañes, late in the game.

Yet Argentine newcomer Lucas Aveldaño had a poor game as Jorge’s

Valladolid 2 CD Tenerife 0

replacement, and his uncertainty spread along the back line, with reliable keeper Dani even having a few jitters.

Tenerife´s best play came early on, Tayron teeing up a shot that home keeper Misup grabbed, while

Aitor Sanz’s effort was a little high. But Suso made a super-sharp turn to fire at Misup, who showed sharp reflexes.

There was a close call as Mata broke through to net for Valladolid after 20 minutes. But the ref called

it offside in what was a really tight call.

The creative spark was missing from Tenerife’s midfield, and the fullbacks weren’t overlapping, maybe because of the poor understanding between Carlos Ruiz and new central partner Aveldaño (pictured). It was like a nervous first date.

Valladolid sensed the uncertainty, and a right cross from Antonio on the half-hour found Iban Salvador, ready with his downward header at the post, with Luis Perez looking on.

That goal spread more doubt through the visitors, Aveldaño was booked for handling a ball going over his head in no-man’s-land, and the half-time whistle was most welcome.

Dani opened the second half with a juggled take of the ball before Mata provided a well-measured pass to Michel, who increased the lead after 49 minutes.

Serbian forward Malbasic replaced Juan Carlos and showed some good touches, the big, 24-yearold forward holding the ball up well for his colleagues.

But Suso was fading out of the picture, wasting a freekick straight at the home wall, and, a few minutes later, making way for Brian Martin.

Paco Montañes, new in from Espanyol via Levante, was given his first run-out as substitute for Aveldaño, and took up position on the left wing.

He had a couple of testing runs as Tenerife tried to launch a comeback.

Vitolo slung in a dipping ball, forcing the keeper to tip it over, and Malbasic fired in a good shot which was clearly handled by a defender. But no penalty was given.

Luis Perez showed his defensive prowess with a textbook, sliding intervention, and Malbasic managed a late soft shot.

But Tenerife had to take this defeat on the chin and cling to the positives.

Royal romp in Rayo TENERIFE were three goals to the good in 20 minutes, and looked as though they might run up a cricket score in this King’s Cup clash on Wednesday night.

The home team steadied the ship and denied any further damage, but the victory was a great antidote to Tenerife’s league defeat at the weekend.

The Cup has become a bit of a farce for Canarian teams because they are always drawn away, so Tenerife put out a weakened side, showing seven changes from the league match.

Carlos Abad took over in goal, and B team leftback Nahuel was given a rare start. After just two minutes, a long ball out from the Tenerife defence took a deflection off a home boot, and Juan Carlos ran through to bury the ball in the net.

Six minutes later, JC showed his divine quality again when turning, with

Rayo Vallecano 0 CD Tenerife 3

his back to goal, and giving the keeper no chance for his and his team’s second marker.

Rayo failed to be encouraged by hesitant reactions from Carlos Abad and another silly booking for Aveldaño, this

time for delaying a freekick.

Juan Carlos turned provider after 20 minutes, slotting the ball between two defenders, and Brian Martin timed his run to perfection to score his first senior goal.

Rayo, who were stung, tried to regain some pride.

Aveldaño was rounded

easily for a half-chance, and Carlos pulled off a good save when danger threatened.

And there was nearly a gift fourth goal on halftime as Guera redirected a Tenerife free-kick at his surprised keeper.

Dominguez provided the only real home threat, shooting over the bar just

after the restart, while Carlos made light work of a weak shot from the same source.

The home striker was lucky not to be sent off for raking the back of Alberto’s heel with his studs, but maybe the ref felt sorry for the struggling home team.

Felipe Malbasic came close to opening his scoring account for Tenerife. He worked hard and even took some of the set-piece kicks.

Longo came off the bench and unlocked the Rayo defence with a strong run and cross to Brian Martin, whose flying header deserved a goal. But he narrowly missed the target.

It was a comfortable win, and the fringe players’ performances will give coach Pep Marti some pleasant selection decisions for Sunday’s home match with Granada.

The Cup draw will be awaited eagerly as the team prepare to move in recently-uncharted territory.

But the league is by far the most important item on the agenda.

Playing just for kicks!

THE scene was set for Friday night darts with a difference: Malta v England; Lithuania v Scotland, with most bars loud and proud, supporting their national football teams.

But Lady Macs v Bar Leones didn’t go the distance because the visitors couldn’t handle the decibel level. They took their leave before completing the fixture, and the committee awarding an 8-0 victory to the hosts.

Marilyns A lost their opening game at home to Ourplace Breakaways, then upped their game to take the next seven. And Buzzing B’s were in top form at Nutty Nautas, securing another victory by 7-1.

Nauta Nomads travelled to Ourplace Playgirls, and, after a close game, took the trebles and the draw, although Debbie had to put up with Stella (the lady or the beer?).

There was nearly a shock on the cards at Loch Inn as top chuckers Sandys were the visitors, and, with a last-ditch trebles win, shared the points to keep level at the top with Legends.

And the Legends came away 6-2 victors over Naughty Nauta, for whom Mark checked out on 119 for the highest finish of the season.

Grizzly v Fluffy is always a lively encounter, and so it turned out again as Ourplace Playboys snatched the threesomes to take a draw at The Pub. The Tavern’s good form continued at Palms Sports Bar with a 7-1 win. The home side were unable to find a double for most of the night, yet found compensation in the wonderful food.

Boothen welcomed Phoenix Bar, and, after some fine arrows, emerged 6-2 winners, with Steve’s two maximums and Sam adding another 180 for the hosts. Oh, and finishes of 120, 112 and 110 for Joe, Sam and Ray. At Gaffers, Loch Inn’s Wayne hit a maximum

Swim for Life

Slam dunk, rivals sunk IBEROSTAR Tenerife, tipping-off the new basketball season, shaded their warm-up match with Herbalife Gran Canaria 7467 to gain bragging rights ahead of the Liga Endesa season.

La Laguna-based Tenerife don’t often get to play in the South, but they are always given a big welcome, and over 1,100 fans packed Adeje’s Las Torres sports hall.

Both squads have undergone big changes, probably Tenerife the most as they have a new coach, Nenad Markovic, from Bosnia & Herzogovina.

Pivot Mike Tobey ruled the roost with 18 points on his debut, the ex-Valencia New Yorker adapting quickly to his new team-mates.

Gran Canaria were on top for the first two quarters,

division 1 ResultS

leading 18-13 and 18-16, but the game swung the other way as Tenerife clawed their way back with a gamechanging 20-11 and a final quarter 25-20.

Some old Tenerife favourites turned on the style, with Davin White, so often the star last season, weighing in with 13 points.

And Senegal-born Petit Niang also impressed with 10, including an eight-point scoring streak in the second half of the match.

Do take the plunge and Swim For Life DIP your toes in, or make a full splash. Either way, you will be most welcome at La Caleta’s Tenerife Top Training centre, at its Swim For Life event next Saturday (16th Sept).

The well-established Walk For Life doesn’t happen until 17th December, but its pool-based partner will be giving the cause a head start to raise funds for breast cancer research.

A 10-euro donation includes use of the pools at the centre, which has attracted the cream of international swimmers, along with professionals from many other sports.

There will also be a commemorative pink swimming cap for each swimmer, plus water and

fruit during the activities, a paella from Chef Mario and a prize raffle.

It’s all about fun rather than competitive challenges, and there’s a relay swim to start things off at 10.30am, followed by an aqua gym an hour later in the main pool, aiming to beat last year’s record for participants.

Then, at 12.30pm, there is an “assisted” relay swim, featuring flippers and supports for the less-

experienced swimmers.

The smaller pool will be set aside for water games and less-challenging tasks.

You must be at least 14 years old to enjoy the fun in the pools, and if you are alone or with a small group, they will soon team you up with new friends, so you can enjoy this special day.

To make your donation, go to Bank Account Caja Siete, quoting IBAN ES30 3076 0120 1523 6038 5013. Please mention your full name and ID - NIE or passport number.
