Adeje water gets all clear

Adeje is the first municipality in Tenerife to have drinkable tap water. It’s something that may surprise visitors to Tenerife, but residents have always been used to drinking bottle water and not using the tap.

This major development in Adeje, again shows why the municipality is seen as the leader in the Canary Islands.

This landmark has been a goal for the council for some time and it’s taken a major investment and a great deal of patience to implement.

Adeje water was the most tested in the archipelago over the last 10 years and they carry out more health controls on tap water than any other borough in the Canaries.

The most recent studies, the finding of which were announced this week, meet all the European Union directives regarding the quality of tap water and show that the water is perfectly safe to drink.

The Adeje councillor for sanitation, Jose Maria Alvarez Acosta, said the tap water in the borough can be classed as “good or very good depending on the area. The proper quality control of water in homes is our main objective here in the Adeje council."

He added: "We will continue regular analysis and continue to meet all the European standards as well as national and regional norms. In that way we can guarantee that our water is clean, healthy and apt for consumption.”

The data published this week is part of a study carried out by the Adeje municipal laboratory and the Aqualia Centro Company. Álvarez Acosta stated the results were just what they were looking for “Adeje was the second most tested zone in the

Canaries in 2013 and the most tested over the longer period of 2004–2013.

The most recent data comes from the sixth control report carried out in Adeje.

The study and results cover the whole of the borough of Adeje. So this means that people who live anywhere in the borough can safely drink the water.”

Adeje uses water from two desalinisation plants. The major one is in La Caleta and the other, which is shared

with Arona, is in Las Americas.

Recent improvement work had also seen the water pipe network improved and this is the key to the guarantee of the quality of water arriving into Adeje homes. The borough’s laboratory, which meets all of the EU standards, was opened in Adeje in 2007 and has a dedicated number of studies to improve the quality of water in Adeje.

“Today we can stand over the claim that we are a leading borough

in the treatment, desalinisation, and quality of infrastructure dedicated to water consumption” said Alvarez Acosta. Water is tested using a number of parameters, including smell, taste, colour, conductivity, pH and turbidity levels, ammonia, bacterial content, presence of e coli, presence of minerals such as copper, iron, nickel, residual chlorine and boron.

The laboratory uses a national programme

for control and analysis of tap water, which has been in place since 2007. The controls were carried out in homes and public and private installations using the public water system.

Some 65% of the residential population of Adeje receive water sourced from dams, the island’s natural water galleries and from the desalinisation plants, with the rest of the homes in receipt of water sources exclusively from dams

and galleries.

Following ongoing analysis by the municipal laboratory and in-line with all the European directives, the water in Adeje is now classified as "fit for human consumption".

From an economical point of view this is great news. The average household spends over 10 euros a week on basic bottled water and businesses in Adeje no longer have to use expensive water coolers.

There is no water bottling plants based in Adeje so no businesses are affected in the borough. This is all great news, but how many people will actually start drinking the tap water?

In many ways it’s hard to believe that in 2014 there are still ‘Western’ countries that have to rely on bottled water for drinking. But life is different here. We are after all a small group of islands in a major ocean off the coast of Africa.

The inhabitants have always tried to be self sufficient but it’s only in recent years that simple things that most people take for granted have become the norm. Long standing electricity and power problems have been solved and now major progress is being made on the water front, it should only be a matter of time before other ‘essentials’ are commonplace.

The implementation of household gas supply is on the agenda, and is the installation of fibre optical high-speed internet access.

It may take time for people in Adeje to trust the drinking of tap water, even though we are being encouraged to do so. In the UK sales of bottled water soar year on year as the so-called health benefits and different tastes becomes fashionable. And who doesn’t like a nice cold glass of water on a hot August day? So it may take time and a bit of social education before the masses start to turn on the tap to quench a thirst. Even so, once again Adeje is leading the way and the pressure is really on the other municipalities to catch up and let the drinking water flow.

Starmus... it’s just around the corner The final countdown has begun for the Starmus Festival with an announcement of more news on what promises to be an unforgettable festival.

Organisers have confirmed new additions to the musical line up and in the words of the founder and director of the Starmus Festival, Garik Israelian, “music is another of the festival’s great facets, which is why - like the panel of speakers - its musical line up includes a very special list of names”. The line up for Starmus includes internationally famous stars like Katerina Mina and also discovers new talents currently on their way to success, as is the case of Alexandros Hahalis and Nosound. While Alexandros Hahalis takes new experimental paths with his music, Nosound has a very well-defined style that is heavily influenced by Pink Floyd and taken further with incredible new musical sounds.

For the experience to be complete and magical, Garik Israelian explains the importance of the Starmus Party at the El Teide Observatory as part of the festival to the rhythm of Nosound. “It will be a mystical experience that nobody present will forget.”

We also have “Spherical music” thanks to the performance of Katerina Mina and Alexandros Hahalis” says the astrophysicist. Hahalis became famous as a composer in the late ‘80s in the United States thanks to his work Antithesis, which was in the top10 of New Age electronic music. Since then, his career has been unstoppable, creating his own niche on the music scene linked to art and to his passion for astronomy and Greek philosophy and my-

thology. Has composed works for famous sculptors and painters, such as Spyropoulos or Stamos, and for major theatres and events, such as the Brooklyn Academy of Music or the Athens 2004 Olympic Torch Relay. Major cultural institutions, such as the Greek Scholars of Chicago University or the Urban Stages & Playwrights Preview Society, among others, have recognised his work and his style over recent years. Furthermore, the composer is the founder of the “Apollo Temple”, a nonprofit making organisation devoted to Apollo (representing the sun, the source of creative energy) and the New Muses (inspiration for art and science).

Katerina Mina is one of the great revelations of modern-day European opera. This beautiful soprano, half Greek half Cypriot, has received excellent critique from bel canto, especially for the maturity of her voice and her surprising staging. A graduate from

the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London, Katerina has worked at some of the main international theatres over a very short time, performing the great works of this genre. The singer has also recently released her first CD - Chopin’s 17 Polish Songs & Schumann’s Frauenliebe und-Leben - with the pianist Elena Mouzalas.

The other great addition to the musical line up at Starmus is the progressive rock band Nosound, which started up in 2002 as a personal project of the Italian Giancarlo Erra and that was gradually joined by new members. The band has its own, very marked style that reflects the influence of the great ambassadors of this genre, such as Pink Floyd, Sigur Ros or Brian Eno, and to which it gives an atmospheric character of spacial sounds. With several albums already released, the band is becoming more and more famous in Europe and is to bring some

very intimate sounds to the festival to provide atmosphere for the Starmus Party at the El Teide Observatory, one of the main events for those attending Starmus 2014.

As well as the Sonic Universe concert headed by the great Rick Wakeman, the former keyboard player for the progressive rock band YES, and with an exceptional guest in the form of the former Queen guitarist Brian May, Starmus will have many major artists with different musical styles to put sound to astronomy and to help make the event an unforgettable experience.

Closing Ceremony; legends of space and black holes to the rhythm of spherical music Among many of the noteworthy aspects of the festival, the programme remains at a very high level right up to the last day. Under the title “Legends of space: A tribute to Neil Armstrong and Alexei Leonov”, worthy homage is to be paid to two

of the leading names in the space race; the first man to reach the moon (Armstrong) and the first main to walk in space (Leonov), who is to head an interesting debate through his speech “Why did the Soviet Union not send a man to the Moon? Will Russia ever achieve this?”, which is doubtlessly one of the most long-awaited presentations of the festival.

During this homage, Leonov also celebrates several anniversaries in his career: 50 years since becoming the first man to walk in space and 40 years since he was the commander of the first Apollo/Soyuz mission.

If that weren’t enough, Stephen Hawking is to head the first seminar of the festival, which is to be structured around one of his great subjects: “Black holes”.

As announced several weeks ago, the great theoretical physicist is to give two speeches at the festival: “The origin of the universe” during the second day of the festival and this one to

end the festival. Furthermore this August, the festival is holding the “Ask Hawking” competition that will give the general public the chance to send their proposals for debate with the scientist.

Those with winning questions will be given the chance to attend the festival and ask Stephen Hawking their question in person.

To end this tribute, Alexandros Hahalis and Katerina Mina are to entertain those present with “Spherical music”, a unique performance in which the two are to shroud the last day in a harmonious mystical atmosphere.

Over the forthcoming weeks, the Starmus organisers will reveal more news for this year’s festival, which has become a unique, unbeatable event.

Starmus 2014 turns the Canary Islands into the focal point for all fields of science, highlighting the importance of the archipelago as a destination for astrotourism.

School upgrades taking place A series of building works has been taking place in the Adeje borough’s school centres during the summer.

According to the Adeje education councillor, Andrés Pérez Ramos the cost of the reforms will be in the region of 60,000 euros and is part of an annual revision of public education facilities. The councillor says: “The majority of the work has been in maintenance of existing buildings, but this year we have also taken the opportunity to improve and expand the school library in Las Torres and we have installed an environmental classroom in the green zone in the school in Armeñime following a request from the school.”

In the Las Torres college, work centred on the library which now boasts a study and reading room, another dedicated to videos and a consultancy zone.

The work was carried out in two phases, with an investment of over 20,000e, co-funded by the Adeje council and the regional department of education. In Armeñime the work on an environmental classroom was suggested by the directorate of the school, and following an evaluation study by the council and the regional department, given the go-ahead.

Pérez Ramos mentioned that the new ‘classroom’ will work alongside the school plot “which allows students to have a better understanding of biodiversity. For that reason we looked positively at the request and included it in the improvement plans.

From September students will be able to enjoy an educative experience of the environment first hand, increasing awareness and the need for care of our surroundings”, he added.

The works in the Fañabe school included improvements and the repair of cracks and repainting as well as expanding the school canteen to allow more students enjoy the fa-

cilities. Other schools in the borough have seen painting work and damp-proofing of interior walls, improved drain installations, paving, access area upgrades, wheelchair ramps installed, installation of water fountains, patio improvements, etc. According to the councillor all work will be finished before term starts.

Term dates 2014-2015: Infants and Primary schools return to school on 8 September 2014

Secondary schools return on 10 September 2014 Christmas holidays: 22 December 2014 - 7 Jan 2015 (inclusive) Easter holidays: 30 March 2014 – 3 April 2015 (inclusive) End of school year: June 19 2015.

These dates are taken from the regional department of education calendar, local fiestas will also apply, and in Adeje Monday October 13th will see schools closed.

Lions’ bells are ringing!

Busty drugs woman busted!

A WOMAN with a pair of breasts not to be sniffed at was arrested at Madrid airport last week.

And no wonder. The busty Venezuelan, on a flight from Columbia, was carrying implants of cocaine weighing 1.7 kilos.

A police spokesperson said: “Female officers conducted a body search of the 43-yearold woman and discovered ‘certain irregularities and deformations in both breasts’.”

ALONG with many other tourist areas globally, Tenerife is enduring a scourge of pick-pockets and purse-snatchers.

All the usual places where people gather become a target area: stores, supermarkets, bus queues, open markets, pedestrian walkways and airports. And everyone knows someone who has been a victim.

Apart from the usual advice from authorities

on taking more care of your possessions, what else can you do to make life more difficult for these dippers?

A recent campaign, with the co-operation of local police in one part of the UK, highlighted this problem.

It was decided to attach a small set of metal bells to the purses or zips on ladies’ handbags.

This simple idea worked so effectively that there was a dramatic reduction in this type of crime in the area.

Part of the Lions’ ethos is to work in our local community, so we have 2,000 sets of these bell deterrents available from our two charity shops, from 1st September.

One shop is at the Apolo Centre in Los Cristianos, and the other is on the main road in Costa del Silencio, by Coral Mar. A spokesperson said: “Please donate unwanted clothes and small household items. And, for a one-euro donation, we will give you a set of bells.”

The suspect acted nervously and, said police: “She confessed that she was carrying implants with cocaine inside.”

The woman was taken to a hospital, where the implants were removed and found to contain 1.7 kilos (3.74lbs) of the drug.

It is not the first time Spanish police have seen drug-smugglers using breast implants to try to beat detection.

In December 2012, a Panamanian woman arriving in Barcelona from Bogota was found with 1.4 kilos of cocaine

in her fake breasts.

Her wounds were still bleeding under bandages.

Other techniques have included drugs hidden under wigs, mixed into a cast put on a leg, and shaped and hardened into crockery.

Spain has a special police unit which checks “hot flights” from major drug-trafficking countries.

So far this year, in Madrid airport alone, the squad has seized around 500 kilos of cocaine and six kilos of heroin, and have made 189 arrests.

Your Emails

The editor says...

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com Did you miss us last week?

For the staff at CW Towers it was a chance to recharge the batteries but we’ve come back busier than ever!

From this issue you will notice our new Property Guide pullout. It’s something I’ve been keen to add to the paper for a while and we have high hopes for it.

Having lived here for many a year, you notice little patterns from time to time.

And at the moment as a community, we are going through one of ‘those’ dreaded periods. Since we were last with you, we have lost two of our most respected entertainers in Keith Christie and Ian Lennard. You will notice how busy this issue is, so we will have a proper tribute to them both next week. I can pass on that there will be a memorial for Ian at the Christian Fellowship in Los Cristianos on Wednesday at 1pm with a ‘celebration’ at Taylors Lounge afterwards.

This week has seen a

never-ending stream of stories and videos of people being soaked by ice buckets. As a stunt that has grasped the world’s attention, this has been quite breathtaking. And it has raised awareness of the horrible ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) condition.

For those of a certain age it’s Lou Gehrig’s disease and if you get a chance, I urge you to watch the 1942 film Pride Of The Yankees.

Gary Cooper is peerless as Gehrig who was the David Beckham of his day.

There is no cure for ALS. So while it’s amazing that so many people, films stars, footballers and even Presidents have taken the challenge, I still wonder if they know WHY they are doing it and if they have donated towards the cause. So if this week you are challenged to throw the ice bucket over your head, understand what it’s for, make a charity donation and say thanks that you don’t have ASL. And remember, as Lou Gehrig himself said: “Today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.”

Dear Editor In July this year I foolishly bought a small Tablet with accessories costing 395 euros which I paid for with my Visa card. Then the owner said to play films and such I would need extra Gbytes so I agreed to that. Imagine my surprise and anger when weeks later my visa receipt stated that they had taken 3,142.00 euros from me! This emptied my bank account and made me overdrawn at the bank!

The man who sold everything to me was named Rocky. At the time of the purchase I had asked him for a customs invoice which he gave me the morning of my departure 18th July with the invoice fastened behind so I did not see the total price of 3,142.00 euros until I arrived home. He said he would not bank that amount for a month but he banked it on the 20th July, 2 days later.

I am so ashamed that I let them rip me off so easily. I am returning to Los Cristianos on August 26th and I want to try to get my money back. I am going to bring all the items with me to return them to the shop and ask for a full refund!

When I returned home and saw what I had done I went to the bank to stop the payment but it had already been paid. I translated the invoice into English and also took the translated invoice to a computer shop so they could do a price comparison and see how much the items would cost in England. The result was staggering. I cannot believe a grown woman could make such a mistake. I also found the e-mail address and address of the Consumer office in Los Cristianos and sent them 4 e-mails and twice sent a letter through registered post, but I have not had a reply at all from them which is disappointing. I urge all your readers to more vigilant when making such purchases and to always check what they have paid.

Name and address supplied.

Dear Editor

I feel the need to complain to the mayor regarding a trip my two daughters recently took.

They had paid good money for a Watersports excursion on the beach in front of the Cleopatra Palace.

The driver of the boat which was to take my daughters to the banana boat drove like a mad man. He had no consideration for the passengers on the boat.

When my daughters finally arrived they were so scared they wouldn’t even go on the banana boat.

A man had to ask the driver to slow down on the way back to the beach.

Apart from the stress of the trip my daughter’s bottoms were covered in bruises from being thrown about on the boat.

If I knew who the driver was I would have confronted him over this.

It was totally unnecessary to drive like this and it’s very dangerous.

We holiday in Tenerife every summer, but we will not be booking any ‘watersports’ in future.

This man should have his license taken away, Name and address supplied

Vine Hoovers up!

TIM VINE’S joke about a vacuum cleaner was voted the funniest at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

He won with the oneliner: “I decided to sell my Hoover ... well it was just collecting dust.”

The 47-year-old comedian’s joke scooped almost a fifth of the votes in the competition run by comedy TV channel Dave.

It is the first time the award has been presented to a previous winner. Vine also won in 2010 with: “I’ve just been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. I’ll tell you

what, never again.”

Vine, runner-up in 2011, 2012 and 2013 said: “I’m a little bit surprised but very delighted. This is the second time I’ve won this award, but I guess nobody loves a repeat more than Dave.”

In an interview on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, the comedian talked about the process of writing oneliners.

“When I think of what I think is a good joke, I do often laugh, because, of course, it’s the first time I’ve heard it. So I will chuckle.

“But I’ve been wrong many times and I’ll go in front of an audience thinking this is an absolute work of genius and

they stare back at me going, ‘Sorry you want us to laugh at this point, do you?’ And I realise that doesn’t work at all.

“But it also works the other way and that’s

the exciting thing about writing comedy. You never quite know until you try it with an audience. Never test it on family and friends.”

When asked if he ever

stretched his jokes to a paragraph, he said: “Only on this show would I be asked that question. It’s a beautiful question – ‘Do you ever do paragraphs?’

“I do occasionally, but what happens is I think that bit can go, and I don’t really need that bit, and then eventually it’s back to a line-and-ahalf again.”

Sheila in wonderland CANARY Islands’ author Sheila Crosby has written the main story for the Thrice Upon A Time fairytale collection.

It brings together some of the best stories from 18 authors across the globe.

Sheila, who lives in La Palma, is a starlight guide, specialising in showing visitors around the European Northern Observatory at the Roque de Los Muchachos.

She has three stories available for download with www.alfiedog. com, one of the biggest short-story download sites in the world.

With authors selected from the Canaries, Britain, America and Australia, it comprises a genuine international collection.

It features tales which recalls stories written long ago, but from a different perspective - and others which are new.

“Fairytales became popular again with the 200th anniversary of the brothers Grimm,” says Rosemary Kind, publisher Alfie Dog Fiction’s managing director, “Our authors provide a continuation of this grand tradition.

The humour of the fairytales is aimed at adults and, as with the originals, the stories often have a moral to them.”

Crazy Sailors rescue at sea A BONKERS Bulgarian, attempting to sail from Dorset to America, lasted just five miles before being rescued.

The 30-year-old, who bought his 14ft dinghy from a chap in Christchurch Harbour on Saturday, promptly set off on his 3,500-mile voyage across the Atlantic.

Passing yachtsmen raised the alarm after spotting him looking uneasy in choppy water near Bournemouth.

Even when an RNLI lifeboat arrived, he refused help, pleading: “I am going west.”

But after he had spurned assistance for 45 minutes, the crew dragged him on to their boat and took him ashore.

Lifeboat crewman Pete Dadds, 41, said the dinghy was taking on water, and the man would have died had he not been rescued.

The man wasn’t even wearing a lifejacket, and his boat had no lights.

Pitifully, his only navigational aid was a street map of Southampton.

That apart, he had a passport containing a US visa, plus hot dogs, beans and a bag of biscuits.

Mr Dadds added: “When we reached the gentleman, he didn’t want us there - he want-

ed to carry on his way.

“We were not happy leaving him out there.

He kept saying, ‘I am going west’.

“His boat was not properly rigged, so he was getting battered.

He was at the mercy of the elements.

“The boat had no lights and he didn’t even have a lifejacket. We told him he would die if we left him, but he didn’t seem bothered.

“Honestly, he would have died. “He was severely seasick, and he had the first signs of hypothermia - his boat was filling up with water.

“There was no chance it would have kept going for much longer.”

Ebola scare over

AN all-out ebola alert, activated in Alicante after a Nigerian man was admitted to hospital with fever and vomiting, was negated when he tested negative.

Spanish health authorities say the man showed “several symptoms” of the disease, but tests revealed that he did not have ebola. The alert came a week after

a Spanish priest, who contracted ebola while working in Liberia, died in a Madrid hospital. Father Miguel Pajares was the first European infected by a strain of the virus, which has killed more than 1,000 people in West Africa.

He was flown from Liberia to Spain earlier this month after becoming infected while working

for a non-governmental organisation there.

The 75-year-old was flown to Europe for treatment with his co-worker, Juliana Bohi, a nun who has since tested negative for the disease. Elsewhere, 17 ebola sufferers have fled a Liberian clinic raided by looters who stole blood-stained sheets - sparking fears the virus would spread.

EU’s £100m lift for veggie producers FRUIT and vegetable producers hit by Russia’s ban on EU food imports have been promised £100m by the European Commission.

The money will come from the reformed Common Agricultural Policy, which includes an emergency reserve to compensate for market disruption.

The ban, imposed

by Russia earlier this month, coincided with the harvesting season.

It has led to a supply glut in the 28-nation union, which is causing losses for producers.

The Commission plans

to compensate producers who decide not to harvest some of their goods, or simply give products away.

Russia is the main export market for much of the EU’s fruit and veg, particularly from Continent.

The Commission proposed last week to compensate nectarine and peach producers for 10% of their crop.

But the new plan expands funding to a much wider level, and includes producers of peppers, pears, grapes,

tomatoes and cucumbers.

Moscow has banned imports in retaliation for sanctions by the EU and US against Russia, introduced over what the West sees as Russia’s destabilisation of Ukraine.

Meanwhile, at least one EU state has now admitted the bloc, and Nato is not in a position to give military support to Ukrainian troops fighting pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country.

“That is not possible,” said Finland Prime Minister Alexander Stubb.

“We know Nato gives military help to its members, while the EU does not have the capacity to give this type of support.”

Improvements in treatments and care, routine screening and earlier diagnosis are thought to have contributed to the reduction in breast, bowel and prostate cancer deaths.

While lung-cancer death rates have fallen, the charity warned that there has been little improvement in the outlook for those diagnosed with the disease.

But it has pledged to improve lung cancer mortality through earlier diagnosis and trials for improved treatments.

Yet mortality rates in other cancers, including liver, pancreatic, melanoma, oral and some digestive cancers, have increased, says the charity.

Harpal Kumar, Cancer Research UK’s chief executive, says: “Research continues to help save lives from cancer, and these figures offer renewed encouragement that progress continues.

The UK remains a

world leader in cancer research, responsible for many of the breakthroughs that have reduced the impact of cancer. But while the death rate for the four biggest cancer killers

falls, it’s vital to remember that more needs to be done to help bring even better results over the coming years.”

He added: “There are over 200 different

forms of the disease.

For some of these, the advances are less impressive, such as pancreatic, oesophageal and liver cancer.

And far too many lives continue to be affected

by the disease. But we are determined that the research we fund will help save more lives, developing better, kinder treatments which will beat cancer sooner.”

Cancer relief for sufferers AT LAST! Some genuine news for cancer sufferers. Death rates for breast, bowel, lung and prostate cancer – responsible for half of all cancer deaths in the UK - have fallen by about 30% in the last 20 years.

Cancer Research UK, which has released new data, said the findings depicted that groundbreaking research has had a “powerful impact” in beating the disease.

Between 1991 and 1993, 146 people out of every 100,000 would have been expected to die from one of the so-called “big four” cancers.

But in the last few years, these figures dipped to 102 out of every 100,000, while bowel cancer, lung cancer and prostate cancer dipped by 34%, 27% and 21% respectively.

Debbie regaining her Blissful life!

SOME of our readers will remember Debbie Bliss, who lived in Tenerife between 1996 and 2008.

Lively Debbie was an energetic, personal trainer on the Island, putting many of us through our paces in the gym, or on the mountainous elements of Tenerife.

She had an abundance of energy and enthusiasm and was always full of live and vitality. She also worked in sports injury for those who required help with rehabilitation after an injury or illness.

Some of you will remember Debbie for her relentless drive to raise money for various charities, especially when young Joshua Bliss was taken poorly with Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Thankfully, he has recovered and is doing well at his school

here. So far, Debbie has raised ÂŁ95,000 for different charities, and she continues to compete in crazy events to raise money for others.

Debbie wrote a column about health issues in

Canarian Weekly for many years, giving us tips on how to maintain our health with nutritional advice and exercise plans.

Those who recall Debbie will also remember when

she became ill in 2000, spending a month in two Tenerife hospitals before flying back to the UK to be diagnosed.

From being as fit as a fiddle, with no worries about her health, she turned into a lethargic, muscle-wasting wreck.

She had no energy to walk to the bathroom, or even clean her teeth, and she knew something was seriously wrong.

Within 48 hours, she was diagnosed with Dermatomyositis - a connective tissue disease which is characterised by inflammation of the muscles and the skin.

It is also a systemic disorder which affects the joints, oesophagus, lungs, legs and heart.

She spent the next three months in hospital, and had to learn how to walk, talk and eat again with the help of many specialists - and her Mum! Dermatomyositis, a rare condition, affects

one in a million people and is incurable.

Debbie was told that in 15 years, she will be wheelchair-bound, will never be able to ride horses again (one of her biggest passions) and will not be able to live in the sun again.

But she is a determined lady and fought back with every ounce of energy - on a couple of occasions almost giving up.

She actually managed to return to live here for eight more years, and still rides horses. Also, she is still running around defiantly, organising and taking part in many crazy charity events.

She still suffers with DM, but controls it by remaining positive and keeping fit, even though sometimes she still has to listen to her body when a flare-up occurs.

Debbie has written a book about her inspirational story to remain motivated and

positive throughout her ordeal.

The purpose of the book is for her to inspire others who may have suffered from a serious illness.

She wants to tell them there is light at the end of the tunnel. She understands and realises that everyone has a story to tell, and it has taken her many years to write this book.

Life is Bliss is available on Amazon, on Kindle or paperback version for you to read about her life (so far) and her amazing, inspirational story.

If anybody has any contacts to help Debbie promote her book, please email her on debbiebliss@hotmail. com we are certain it will be appreciated.

From all of us here at Canarian Weekly and Oasis Fm, we all wish Debbie every success with her book - and for her future.

50 days until the event of the year!

By Jamie Drew The 8th TEAs steps up a notch today (Friday) as it’s nomination time. Every year there is always one “stand-out” category.

This year the Best Newcomer category is bustling with talent.

There have been more new arrivals over the last 12 months than I can remember.

Well, allow me to define that a little; Each year Tenerife gets lots of people who come here to find work as an entertainer. Most fall by the wayside, not due to a lack of ability, but a lack of personality that links the ability. This is an ingredient that is imperative within any entertainment circuit like ours. An act must be able to engage with the audience and couple that with their voice, instrument or prop.

This year new acts seem to be able to tick all the boxes.

On the Compere front there are a few new faces that have entered the realm of the host.

Here are three who have three very different stories. Firstly someone who has been in Tenerife for some years now. She always had the urge to be on stage and over the

year, Karen Holcombe has started to achieve her goals. She began doing resident compere night offs.

She gained her confidence quickly and is now actively working as a karaoke host in the bars around Los Cristianos and Las Americas. The next newcomer in the compere category is simply known as Magsy.

His real name is Adam Maggs and has built up a

name for himself. Magsy is not new to the game, he was a DJ and Fun Pub host in the UK and has decided to re-locate here.

Advantage Tenerife!

Finally a compere who couldn’t resist the pull of Tenerife and after a 5 year sabbatical in the UK, Tenerife saw the return of Andy P. Before Andy left Tenerife he had already spent time as resident compere in some of the top venues

of the time such as; The Full Monty, The First & Last and Murphys Law Bar . All three wind up in this category from different backgrounds.

Other areas of the entertainment scene have not been left out with new tribute acts like Geoff Aday (below right) with his vocally astounding Meatloaf Show.

Lisa Bridge (below middle) a female singer from Staley

Bridge has become so popular over the last 12 months along with Suzie Moore from Hull.

Other singers such as Adam See (below left), who also teams up with two other guys to perform an Il Divo show in the posh hotels, has had a successful year.

This category is busier than it’s ever been and I’m looking forward to seeing who emerges from the nominations

in the Best Newcomer Category.

This year’s show is at the usual venue, Castillio San Miguel on Sunday 12th October.

The nominations have started and anybody can nominate anyone who falls in to the categories that are listed in the main TEA’s advert in this edition.

You can nominate in various ways all of which are listed on page 10.

A Different View

By Mike Walsh THERE is little doubt that the downing of doomed Malaysian airliner over the Ukraine was a false-flag operation.

This has gone badly wrong for the Kiev regime and, by association, America and the EU. Damning evidence and, equally important, denial of data, leaves no doubt as to who was responsible for the tragedy.

In the light of new evidence, mainstream media (MSM) has retreated to ignoring the findings or, without evidence, persists in implicating Russia.

The doomed MH17 airliner, with 298 souls on board, was directed on a unique flight path, escorted by two Ukrainian Army jet fighters, and

Flying the False Flags!

brought down by air-toair fire-power.

Three main bodies stubbornly refuse to assist investigation, respond to reasonable questions or provide evidence to support their claim of Russian or rebel guilt: Washington DC, the Kiev Government and Western mainstream media (MSM).

“Here is freedom to him who would speak.

Here is freedom to him who would write, for there is none ever feared that the truth should be heard, save him whom the truth would indict.”

- Robert Burns (17591796).

False flag operations, the aim of which is to provide good reason for waging war, are as much a part of war as is economic, electronic and military warfare.

A false flag operation is an act of war or sabotage directed by covert forces on behalf of a government wishing to blame an opponent and justify war.

Both Britain and the US have a long history of setting up such incidents. Not surprisingly,

the West recognises false flag operations only when they blame the other side of staging them.

It is alleged that the Nazis blamed the Reichstag arson attack in 1933 on a Dutch Communist to justify the repression of parties opposed to the Nazi Party.

The Germans had their Guy Fawkes, too.

Another incident was the German Polish attack on the German border village Gleiwitz to justify the Reich in-

vasion of Poland. Referring to the attack, the sarcastic put-down was: “I suppose the other 21 border incidents, 14 in one night, were German false flag operations, too!”

American-inspired false flag operations are now accepted. This is largely because the evidence, with hindsight and analysis, is undeniable.

In the case of the IndoChina Gulf of Tonkin incident, the set-up is now declassified.

Thanks to the internet, the record and evidence of American false flag operations can be researched at the press of a laptop’s keyboard key.

Orchestrated media leads many to believe that the US is constantly in the cross-hairs of “rogue nations that envy our freedom”’ In fact, the last country to threaten America was England - back in 1812-1814, when England decided to put down the American rebellion against British rule.

True, England and Russia did intervene on the Union side in the American Civil War (1860-1865).

It was futile for them to do so. Since then, no country has desired, or had a realistic chance, of overcoming the geographic size and impregnable isolation of the United States.

America has always been territorially ambitious. Since the US was founded in 1776, it has been at war 90% of the time. England is no slouch, either. Of over 200 countries in the world, just 22 have never experienced a British

invasion. Unfortunately, governments cannot be transparent about their warlike aims. The plebeians need good reason before they suffer wars that benefit bankers, arms manufacturers and investors in war.

Wars are very profitable. The US spent two trillion dollars on the war on Iraq, 90% of which profits went on 1% of the US population.

These were mostly located in Congress, the Senate and among America’s elite. Senators who voted to attack Syria received 83% more campaign money from military contractors than did those lawmakers voting No. There has to be compelling reason to convince the people that a war is unavoidable.

The usual ploy is to demonise those being conspired against.

America’s seizure of Florida and Texas from Mexico in 1846 was preceded by a series of provocations following the same pattern as those the US alleged against the Germans in 1939 and the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which sparked the Vietnam War. Desperate to seize Spain’s colonies, the American battleship “Maine” and its 255 crew in 1898 were destroyed in an explosion.

The pro-government Hearst media, just as today’s media, blamed the downing of the Malayan Airliner on Putin’s Russia, blamed the Spanish.

The US got their war; they also acquired Guam, the Philippines and Cuba. It was discovered afterwards that the explosion which sank the Maine had similarities to the false flag known as 9/11, which justified the US plunder of Iraq.

The blast that destroyed the ship and its crew was an interior explosion.

Move forward two decades to World War One. The US elite is keen to profit from the carnage taking place in Europe.

Problem: how can the American public be convinced that they are threatened enough to “send our boys abroad?”

Solution: In clear defiance of the laws of neu-

trality, Britain’s Cunard Shipping Company’s passenger liner SS Lusitania is loaded with German bait: £6 million in arms.

The German New York consulate is, then, quietly shown the manifesto proof that arms were loaded, thus removing the line’s neutral status.

The Germans fell for it. As a consequence, the Lusitania was torpedoed with the loss of 1,200 lives, 128 of the victims American citizens. War was enthusiastically declared on Germany.

Another antecedent to the downing of the MH17 Malayan airliner on 17th July 2014, was the sinking in 1939 of the Athenia in the English Channel, with the loss of 1,100 passengers of which 311 were American.

On this occasion, this set-up false flag failed to convince the American public to join in England’s war to remove a trade competitor.

The supposedly-neutral Americans then seized a number of German ships. Yet still, the Reich refused to play America’s game Where that ruse failed, the supposedly-surprise attack on Pearl Harbor succeeded. An Eight Point Plan to provoke a Japanese attack was drawn up by the Chief of US Naval Intelligence.

Caught in a sanctions’ trap which included a total oil embargo, Japan had little choice but to fight itself out of the corner. The US, having broken the Japanese encryption codes, knew the Japanese fleet was on its way. But Pearl Harbour was never warned.

The rest, as they say, is history.

If Japan could be lured into attacking the US, then its alliance partner, Germany, would be obliged to come to its assistance.

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour was a strategic success for America. The Washington high command was jubilant.

In one stroke, it had acquired two wars, the profits from which would make the US the richest, most powerful nation on earth.

Mission accomplished.

Match Of The Day At 50 BBC1, 22.35 As the new football season kicks off this August, the television institution that is Match Of The Day celebrates 50 years since it was first aired. This definitive documentary charts the history of this iconic programme and highlights its long-ingrained place at the heart of Saturday night television.

We discover why Match Of The Day holds such a special place in the nation’s affections, with classic archive featuring George Best, Brian Clough, Sir Bobby Robson, David Coleman and Jimmy Hill, and brand-new contributions from Jose Mourinho, Sergio Aguero, Ryan Giggs, Thierry Henry, Gary Lineker, Wayne Rooney, Des Lynam, Rio Ferdinand, Ian Wright, Michael Owen, Alan Hansen, Alan Shearer, John Motson and stars from the England women’s football team.

We also hear from fans of the show, including Sir Alan Sugar, Sue Johnston, Piers Morgan and Russell Brand. Barry Stoller, who composed the iconic Match Of The Day music, talks for the very first time about how the tune came about and how it also went on to be officially the most recognised theme tune on television, beating EastEnders and Doctor Who! There are also special performances of the music by Lethal Bizzle and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

The show looks at how MOTD has evolved over the years, remaining the main place for football viewers to watch highlights. We also remember how the programme dealt with tragedy, when 96 Liverpool fans lost their life at Hillsborough. We take a look at the elements of the show that have become synonymous with the MOTD brand, like Goal Of The Month, and we track down the serial winner of the award who became a cult hero in the 90s. And Sergio Aguero takes us back to the very spot he scored the most famous of last-minute MOTD goals.

Full of fantastic anecdotes and the finest footballing moments of the past 50 years, this documentary celebrates Match Of The Day notching up its halfcentury while continuing to set the footballing agenda for viewers.

Castleford visit Wembley Stadium for the first time in 28 years, where they face 11-time winners Leeds. In the quarter-finals, Castleford Tigers knocked out Wigan, who have won the cup more times than any other side, including a 16-0 win against Hull FC in the 2013 final. They will hope to win the Challenge Cup for the fifth time in their history, the last time being in 1986. Leeds Rhinos beat Warrington Wolves 24-16 in their semi-final.

Red Lights Channel 4, 21:00

A top notch cast lends weight to writer-director Rodrigo Cortés’ supernatural thriller about a pair of scientists who specialise in debunking those claiming to possess psychic powers.

Sigourney Weaver stars as paranormal investigator Margaret Matheson, along with Cillian Murphy as her protégé Tom Buckley.

When Tom decides to re-open the case of notorious blind psychic Simon Silver, Margaret cautions him against the idea, and the hint that Silver might be the genuine article is the source of much of the film’s suspense.

De Niro doesn’t hold back, and the plot becomes increasingly distant from the careful scientific objectivity that characterises the opening act.

Rob Brydon Live Channel 5, 22:10

Recorded live on his first UK tour in 2009, the award-winning actor, comedian, radio star and TV presenter wows his audience in an excruciatingly funny stand-up show packed with wry anecdotes, quick-witted audience interaction, tongue-in-cheek humour, improvisation, the most amazing impersonations and some uplifting songs.

In episode three, Bradley looks at the role played by contestants in creating game show history across the decades. He meets the family whose bizarre answers featured in one of the most memorable episodes of Family Fortunes. We hear how Bullseye brought a new level of frustration to game show contestants when host Jim Bowen showed them ‘what they could have won’. We meet members of the public famous for their losing appearances on British game shows – including the teacher labelled ‘Disastermind’ by the Press and the founding member of the Deal or No Deal 1p Club. Meanwhile, Bradley teams up with three of British TV’s top serial quizzers to take on all-comers at a pub quiz.

Come On Down! The Game Show Story also features interviews with game show stars past and present, including Sir Bruce Forsyth, Ant and Dec, Carol Vorderman, Sir Terry Wogan, Phillip Schofield, Vernon Kay, Les Dennis, Jim Bowen, Stephen Mulhern, Ben Shephard and Amanda Byram.

The Zoo ITV1, 20.00 “We’re the restaurant – we’re providing the food, the wine, even the violin players, and then they’ve got to do the rest.” - ZSL Whipsnade head of birds Jamie Graham on encouraging wattled cranes to breed This three-part factual series for ITV captures the incredible bond between the devoted keepers of ZSL’s London and Whipsnade zoos and the creatures they look after.

Produced by Wild Pictures, the fourth series of this critically-acclaimed programme offers a privileged insight into the often emotionally intense stories of the keepers and their menagerie of 20,000 diverse beasts; from majestic big cats and western lowland gorillas to tiny nocturnal primates, featuring vivid and entertaining stories of zoo life.

The third episode focuses on staff who are trying to get their animals to breed – a process requiring hard work and enormous patience and which can bring both disappointment and elation for keepers. It features: Rhino romance Cameras are there to witness a rare mating of Whipsnade’s Indian rhinos.

In an unexpectedly elaborate courting ritual, Keeper Siobhan SellwoodBrown watches as female Beluki finds her own way to get the male, Hugo, to get up and pay attention - by standing on his back.

Siobhan says: “That’s nearly two tonnes stood on his back… And it worked! If I had two tonnes stood on me, I’d get up. This is all part of the whole routine – something will eventually click, and he’ll just think, ‘Right, let’s get on with it.’”

Last chance for wattled cranes Captive breeding is seen as the only hope for some species, and keepers at Whipsnade erect modesty fence to create the perfect backdrop for the last four wattled cranes in the UK to have a nerve-wracking first date, under the watchful eyes of staff who are on hand to intervene if things take an ominous turn. Whipsnade’s head of park birds Jamie Graham describes the process of mating.

He says: “Cranes, especially the males, when they do get into breeding mode – they’re quite aggressive. Very aggressive. I have known birds to be killed and cranes to be killed by the males and damage to be done by the birds –so we’ve got to make sure everything’s as best as we can – make it perfect for them.”

Elsewhere in the zoo, big cat keeper Tony Cholerton has to say goodbye to one of his favourite charges as head of the London lion pride Lucifer moves to Paignton Zoo, butterfly keeper Mark Tansley observes the unique feeding habits of the feared and revered death’s head hawk moths, and staff are shocked by the appearance of a new baby sloth at the Rainforest Life exhibit.

Keeper Lucy Hawley says: “You can’t actually say that our two sloths are particularly amorous. I mean it’s quite possible that they were doing it when we weren’t here at night. So it was a complete surprise - but a pleasant one.”

Claire Foy plays Helen Bentwich, a clever young woman who chafed against the restrictions placed on her sex – and seized the chance to work in the arms factories at Woolwich Arsenal, before becoming appalled by the conditions there and joining a trade union. Brian Cox plays the country vicar Andrew Clark, whose wry and funny diary is marked by increasing sadness as more and more men leave his village for war, never to return. The fighting is entering its darkest phase – with all hopes for a quick end dashed – but still life and love goes on… Emily Chitticks (Amy Morgan) is a servant girl whose fallen in love with Will Martin (James Norton), a soldier at a local barracks. But soon the call will come for him to go to France too…

Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford host this fun new daily quiz, Gift Wrapped, which offers three engaged couples the chance to win their wedding gift list, and a dream holiday.

Each day, Gift Wrapped will see three betrothed couples work together across a series of quiz rounds, in order to see off their opposition.

The first two rounds see the three contesting couples complete lists and answer questions. Highest scorers are able to unlock an item from their wedding gift list. The first two couples to unlock all the items from their list go through to the next round and one couple leaves empty-handed.

The remaining two couples then face each other head-to-head. The first couple to secure five correct answers is through to the final, having now also unlocked their holiday. Again, another couple leaves empty-handed.

In the final, the fiancées are separated, and in a tense round, winning will depend upon how well they really know each other – they will need to be able to give answers in the hope their other half can predict what they were talking about. If they succeed, they win their wedding list and the top prize of a dream holiday.

Ruth Langsford said: “We are all real life couples, us and the guests. So as you can imagine, there is more to this show than just questions!”

Eamonn Holmes added: “We even let the contestants win the prizes they want. They choose their own gift list, but have they got what it takes to win it?”

The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo 2014 BBC1, 19:00 From the unique setting of the Esplanade of Edinburgh Castle, the 2014 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo celebrates the Year of Homecoming with a cast of more than 1000.

Holiday lets: Ten top tips!

ALL HOMEOWNERS must have their paperwork correct before even considering entering the letting market.

Rules governing holiday lets are controlled by regional governments, meaning owners who do not prepare in advance may not have their property ready in time for when they need to.

It is highly likely you will need a licence or approval of sorts from the local town hall to let your property legally.

There are also strict rules governing holiday lets in the Canaries. Typically, homes in residential areas which are not part of a tourist complex cannot be let without a licence - and obtaining one is not easy.

Meanwhile, properties which form part of

a tourist complex are usually obliged to use a certain letting agent, registered as a sole agent for that complex.

Advice should be taken from an experienced letting agent to ensure you stay within the rules and don’t leave yourself exposed to large fines, either in the Canaries or in the Costas.

However, once the paperwork is sorted, it’s time to prepare your property. And to enable

things to run smoothly, here are 10 tips to help you get started.

1. Get to grips with the local rules for receiving paying guests.

Depending on the location, you may be required to give their passport details to the local police station, just as hotels must record these details. You may also need to collect a tourist tax from your guests.

2. Declare your rental income. The UK has

double-tax treaties with most European countries, including Spain, so you won’t pay the same tax twice.

3. Choose your agent carefully. An agent can take away much of the hassle of rentals, so look for one who has a good reputation locally. Normally they will charge 15-20% of the rent received and, although this can seem a lot of money, they will ensure your property is well-maintained, sup-

ply cleaners, meet and greet visitors and be on call if there are problems.

4. If you manage your property, be prepared to work hard. You will need to be on 24-hour call for emergencies.

5. Present your property well. Cleanliness is paramount, and tourists from all over the world expect high standards.

Small things matter.

TV, Satellite, Wi-Fi and DVDs are often expected these days!

6. Offer a welcome pack.

Sometimes visitors arrive late, the shops are closed and they don’t want to go to out to eat.

7. Information about what is happening in your area is gratefully accepted. Little things can help your reputation.

8. Get suitable insurance. Your household and contents insurance policy should be provide adequate cover for holiday rentals, including the necessary third

party liability and cover for vacant periods.

9. Price your property realistically. Find similar rental properties to yours on the internet to get an idea of rental rates, and what is included in those rates.

10. Plan for a rainy day.

Things don’t always run smoothly so get the finances right from the start. This includes making sure you are paid correctly and in all eventualities. Also, decide how you want payment of deposit, damage deposit and balance. An example could be: 30% deposit to be paid upon booking by cheque, transfer or PayPal. Balance to be paid six weeks before arrival, via the same method. Damage deposit to be sent by cheque with the balance (or handed in on arrival in return for an up-to-date inventory) and returned or destroyed once the apartment has been checked after the holiday.

With the help of comedian Tim Vine he braves a hurricane in a wind tunnel to assess the best in gust busting gadgetry. And to help him pressure test the finest cold weather technology, Richard is joined in the wilds of the Hemel Hempstead Snow Centre by comedian Marcus Brigstocke, culminating in some hilarious results. The show climaxes with Richard revealing his bespoke survival raft built by his technical team to withstand the meteorological apocalypse that he’s convinced is just around the corner.

Super Senses: The Secret Power Of Animals BBC2, 21.00 Humans may have an incredible range of senses, but compared to the animal world we only see, hear and smell a tiny fraction of what is out there.

Across the globe there is a world experienced by animals which is completely hidden from us.

In a breathtaking new series for BBC Two, biologist Patrick Aryee and physicist Dr Helen Czerski explore this world, one beyond the limits of human perception, to reveal extraordinary and surprising animal senses.

Taking science out of the lab and to some of the most exotic locations on Earth, they conduct experiments and demonstrations with a variety of spectacular species from the animal world, including cheetahs, baboons, killer bees, elephants, owls, wolverines, giant sharks and tiny golden moles.

The second episode journeys through the world of sound – from the deepest rumbles to the highest squeaks. Using specialised recording technology Helen and Patrick access sounds far beyond the range of human hearing.

They reveal how alligators of the Florida Everglades use low pitched rumbles to make the water around them dance; show what it’s like for a bat to ‘see’ with sound and convert a 1960’s camper van into a giant speaker, to conduct the ultimate hearing test for a herd of African elephants.

W C c h o i ce Russia’s Lost Princesses BBC2, 20:00

Two-part series focusing on Tsar Nicholas II’s four daughters - Olga, Tatiana, Maria and Anastasia - combining interviews with leading historians, stunning archive footage and dramatic reconstruction to reveal the real girls behind the fairy-tale images. In 1914 Olga and Tatiana were 18 and 16 and old enough to be married off to eligible princes, but any prospect of escaping their strange and very isolated life in the Alexander Palace was thwarted by the outbreak of the First World War. They enjoyed a brief taste of the real world beyond the palace gates when they volunteered as Red Cross nurses and became close to the dashing young officers they nursed.

March 1917 brought a dramatic end to over three centuries of Romanov rule and following their father’s abdication the girls were forced to adjust to a world turned upside down. After five months under house arrest at the Alexander Palace the girls, along with the rest of their family, were sent into exile in Siberia.

Secrets From The Asylum ITV1, 21.00 The lunatic asylum was an inescapable landmark of Victorian Britain, which inspired fear and shame in equal measure. The Victorians locked away thousands of people classified as ‘lunatic’, ‘idiot or ‘imbecile’ in the hope of treating them humanely and restoring them to the outside world. But by the end of the 19th century, these institutions had become warehouses for the insane and for many families, the stigma of an association with the asylum created secrets and lies.

In a brand-new two part series, Ray Winstone, Sue Johnston, Lesley Joseph, Al Murray, Claire Sweeney and Christopher Biggins find out why an ancestor in their family spent time in an asylum and uncover long buried secrets, which make up part of their family history.

In episode two, Al Murray finds out how ideas about inherited insanity meant his family member Laura Stephens was branded an imbecile and institutionalised from a young age. Lesley Joseph goes on a deeply personal journey to uncover a painful family secret about an aunt whose very existence was kept secret for years. Sue Johnston revisits the asylum where she had worked in the 1960s and Christopher Biggins discovers the truth behind his great grandfather’s time in an asylum.

Christopher Biggins’ great grandfather Isaac Parsons was admitted to Wiltshire Asylum in 1915, aged 46. He discovers that Isaac’s mental disorder was categorized as ‘mania’ and the cause was ‘prolonged mental stress’.

Reading Isaac’s medical notes, Christopher says: “’Talks constantly, one subject of conversation running into another without intermission’. Well I understand that totally, that’s a family trait!”

Christopher visits the asylum where his great grandfather was treated. He discovers that the pauper lunatic asylums were initially built to help patients recover. But by the time Isaac would have been admitted standards had

dropped and the asylums become like overcrowded warehouses for the insane.

Christopher says: “It just sounds like the most horrible place in the world!”

During WW1, conditions in the asylums worsened as doctors were sent to the front, food rationing affected vulnerable patients and some institutions were requisitioned. While Isaac survived the impact of WW1, Christopher is horrified to discover that he died in the asylum in 1919 and spent some of his last few months in a padded cell.

Christopher says: “Oh no! Oh that’s terrible! So he never went back to his family? Oh my god, I’m quite shocked. He died in a lunatic asylum.”

Isaac’s cause of death was listed as General Paralysis of the Insane, the final fatal stage of syphilis. The disease was rife in those days and Isaac would have contracted it from his service with the British Army in India. A death from syphilis carried a stigma and Christopher realises this was probably why Isaac’s time in the asylum had been kept a family secret.

Christopher says: “Auntie Vi who I was closest to, she must have been a teenager or in her twenties when this was happening. She was a very snobby, straightlaced woman that I knew. So she would never have ever admitted that her father a) was in an asylum and b) passed away with general paralysis of the insane.”

Prom Crazy: Frocks and Ferraris ITV1, 21.00 For many 16-year-olds, Prom is the most important night of their lives.

American style Prom events have become an essential rite of passage for many United Kingdom teenagers. They can spend months, even years, planning it with some setting their sights on expensive designer dresses, extreme makeover regimes and luxurious transport.

Prom Crazy: Frocks and Ferraris follows a set of teenagers as they fret over their dates, drain their parents’ pockets and prepare and pamper ahead of their big night and as the evening itself unfolds.

This summer, 95% of state schools in Britain hosted end-of-school proms, offering 16 year olds the ultimate rite of passage. Around a million parents spend hundreds, sometimes thousands of pounds on their child, which has led to an entire industry springing up around them that’s worth an estimated £100m a year.

The programme follows four teenagers as they prepare for the biggest night of their lives. Ben from Essex is in danger of missing his prom if his school attendance doesn’t improve. Chanelle has her heart set on a dress she can’t afford, whilst Callum is preparing an extravagant ‘promposal’ to ask a girl to the dance with him. Student Matt is determined to arrive at his prom in style and have a night he’ll never forget.

The programme also takes a look at the competition amongst businesses that cater for teens’ desires to secure the spotlight at their prom – largely funded by their parents’ pockets. From £1500 dresses and £1000 a night luxury cars to outlandish ‘promposals’ offering teenagers a unique way to invite their date to the prom, the industry caters for everything.

Making teenagers’ dreams a reality is big business. The programme looks at one super-car hire firm, and three rival dress shops all in the same town and competing to be the best. Dress shop owner Elaine reveals that adding prom dresses to her bridal shop has doubled her turnover. This year’s prom season has been the best ever for Elaine, who says: “This is my fifth season. Year one we did 90 dresses and this year we’ve done 353, so it’s getting bigger and bigger all the time.”

When it comes to arriving at prom, a lift from mum is simply not an option. Ben from Essex is one of half a million teenagers planning transport for his prom, and he’s determined to arrive in a sports car.

Whilst putting all his efforts into preparations, Ben has been failing to turn up to some of his classes. Many schools now use the ticket to the prom as a carrot to encourage good behaviour. Ben’s teacher Miss Richards says: “A 16 year old needs to be in school full time, and he’s refusing to do that. If he’s not in school full time, he’s not going to prom.”

Ben is desperate to go to his prom, saying: “I’ve been looking forward to prom since I started school, so if I missed out I think I’d cry.”

Friends Callum and Charlie are considering a high-risk strategy for asking a girl to the prom. They’re researching an idea called a ‘promposal’. Callum has got his eye on school friend Beth, saying: “She’s in quite a few of my classes. I think she’s a really nice girl.”

Involving banners and sirens, a nervous Callum has prepped eight of his friends to take part and enlisted the help of a unique car company in Kent who will ensure his ‘promposal’ doesn’t go unnoticed.

Young Callum will be putting his heart on the line in front of the entire school. He says: “If she says no, that’s the worst that could happen. That would be a bit awkward.”

Lights and sirens blaring, a mock-American police car arrives outside school and ‘arrests’ Callum’s would-be prom date, Beth. Handcuffed and put in the back of the car, Beth is driven past Callum’s friends who are holding up banners asking her to prom.

The programme also follows disabled student Matt as he makes preparations to arrive at his prom in style. Now in his last two weeks at school, Matt and his friends want to celebrate every moment.

Matt says: “I do think about the fact some of my friends have life-limiting conditions and what that will entail in the future and that our friendship won’t be maybe as long as everybody else’s. But then, that’s not certain. It makes me try and live for the moment more.”

Matt wants to arrive at his prom in transport that’s distinctive to him, and where he’s able to stay in his wheelchair throughout the journey.

Finally, the day arrives that the anxious young teenagers have been waiting for. For Matt, his symbolic arrival comes to fruition. His mum says: “I’m really proud, because nothing phases him. He doesn’t look at what he’s missed, he looks at what he’s done.”

The teenagers we follow reflect on what it means to have a rite of passage at the end of their school years. Maybe it’s not the Frocks and Ferraris that are the most important thing in the end?

Who Do You Think You Are? Brendan O’Carroll BBC1, 21.00 Comedian Brendan O’Carroll is one of the biggest stars to come out of Ireland in a generation. He started in comedy relatively late, aged 35, but since then has built an entertainment empire out of cross-dressing as his comic creation Mrs Brown - a feisty, foul-mouthed Dublin matriarch.

Brendan’s Who Do You Think You Are story is a personal ‘whodunnit’ – a quest to find the men who murdered his grandfather Peter O’Carroll, one October night in 1920 - at the height of the Irish War of Independence.

He says: “Mrs Brown started as a five-minute piece on radio... mad. The show has been all over the world and now we’re back in Dublin. For one week – Mrs Brown is back in town.”

“Initially it was me playing Mrs Brown... before you knew it everyone was involved in the show, my wife, my sister, my son... It’s really hard to throw a stone at the production without hitting one of the family. Although she can be an awful woman, she loves her family. She would defend them to death.”

“My own family history, I know a bit. The stand-out story of the O’Carroll side was the murder of my grandfather in 1920 I believe it was, and that he was shot and it was for Irish freedom and it was my granddad... what happened that night?”

Garden

22nd August 2014 - 28th August 2014

By Margaret Tully

IT is still very hot, and not much gardening is being done here in my garden, except the bare minimum.

So I turn again to the garden spaces of others. While out walking my dog along the coastal path in the Golf del Sur area, I came across a fantastic, edible garden.

It sits directly in front of a restaurant, which looks out to our beautiful, Atlantic blue sea.

The restaurant seems to have made a bit of a feature out of it, by embellishing it with ornamental camels and chickens to create the rural feel.

It does look out of place down by the water, but I can tell you, they are extremely successful.

Growing in the garden are chilli peppers, an enormous rosemary bush, bananas, papaya - and a whole lot more.

I was most amazed that the papaya are so laden with fruit and don’t seem to be bothered at all by the sometimes harsh sea winds.

Papaya is a wonderful fruit, and you will see plenty of them in your local fruiteria at the moment. They really are good for you, as a source of vitamins A and C. I have tried to grow

Rural planting on the beach!

a papaya many times, without success. I felt it was because I have a windy site but, clearly, that is no excuse.

I have even bought small plants and tried to nurture them, but they always frizzle up and die.

So, out of sheer frustration, I thought I’d find out how exactly you should grow Papaya plants - and here are my findings: I should say that I’m talking about Papaya carica because there are

other plants also called Papaya.

The first point I found out that might explain why my papaya failed is that they do not transplant well!

I bought plants and, of course, transplanted them. I even tried to grow from seed, but I sowed them into small pots and not directly into their final position.

So, I believe we should all plant our seeds into their final positions.

Create a rich bed for your papaya seeds as

they love nutrient rich soil.

Sprinkle on to the top of the soil a lot of seeds you will have got from a locally-bought papaya fruit, and lightly cover with a dusting of soil.

Then, water well and wait!

When you see the seedlings sprouting, wait until they all start to compete for best plant and remove the weaker ones.

But do leave yourself a few plants because you want to make sure you

have female or bi-sexual plants.

That’s because male plants do not reproduce and won’t bear fruit.

When you know you have the right plants, cut down the others and look after the remaining plants by giving plenty of nutrient-rich soil to feed on, and plenty of water.

The male plants tend to flower first and, usually, have smaller flowers than the females, which have one large flower.

The flowers can be used in cooking, like the courgette flowers - maybe deep-fried in tempura batter.

Papayas love the sun and lots of light, so make sure you choose your papaya site carefully.

This is where I have gone wrong in the past, too. I thought they liked to be in semi-shade, but that explains why the papaya at the sea-front is doing so well because they are in a really sunny, open spot.

My delicious recipe of the week Warm Papaya Here’s an extremely simple recipe, using papaya. *Cut your papaya fruit in half, lengthways *Remove the skin from the two halves *Place the fruit on to a baking tray or a microwave plate *Put a good drizzle of honey on the papaya fruit and, either place in a hot oven until the fruit is warmed through, or microwave

it for a couple of minutes *Eat warm and it tastes delicious. It also helps with the somewhat unpleasant smell that papaya can sometimes have PS: You can also use brown sugar and whisky (here I go again with my whisky!) which is great if you are a little under the weather, or feel shivery after too much sun.

By Sue McDonald Curtains are a large part of any decorating scheme because they set the style of your home, and also form a large block of colour or pattern in the room.

In the UK, the primary role of curtains is to keep the cold out and the heat in. And with the price of heating back there, that´s definitely a worthwhile investment!

That’s why a lot of curtains in the UK are lined, while swags and tails are draped to provide insulation around the frame.

By Val Sainsbury BEING overweight, and especially obese, puts people at greater risk of developing 10 of the most common cancers.

Scientists for the Lancet medical journal calculated that individuals carrying this extra weight could contribute to more than 12,000 cases of cancer in the UK

22nd August 2014 - 28th August 2014

Made to measure – go on, you deserve it Here in Tenerife, our fabulous weather means that we have the opposite problem.

We want the windows to look nice, but we need to keep the heat out. Sun curtains are something that have been around for years because of the sunshine and heat. However, they have now been developed so they bear no relation to the plastic silvercoloured ones of years ago, which were very ugly. We use to combine them with a second curtain to disguise them.

Sun curtains now come in material form, with a blackout layer in the middle, and in a huge range of vibrant and exciting colours. They look so

good that they can be used on their own to keep costs down, or combined with another curtain or voile to create a luxurious effect.

Apart from the obvious use of dressing the window, and keeping the sun and heat out, sun curtains also have the added advantage

of preventing fading to furniture and floors.

This is ideal for people who leave their properties locked up for long periods of time.

The bedroom is one area where a sun curtain is a real asset. If you are on holiday and want a siesta, sun curtains will ensure that

your bedroom stays cool and dark at any time of day. This is also a real bonus when trying to get small children to bed when it´s still light outside, or encouraging the little darlings to stay in bed later in the morning.

Of course, in order to work efficiently, the

curtains need to fit the window properly. Window dressings need a sense of proportion and look better when fitted midway between the top of the frame and the ceiling, and a good overlap is needed to ensure light doesn’t enter around the sides of the curtain.

Ready made curtains are of course available and you may be lucky enough to get some that fit, but there is nothing like made to measure curtains, and they are not as expensive as you might think. You can choose a combination of colours and styles to suit your personal taste, the style of the room, and to provide a practical solution to light and heat control.

Fat chance of beating cancer

every year. They warn that if obesity levels continue to rise, there might be an additional 3,700 cancers diagnosed annually.

The study, comprising five million people, is the largest to date to confirm the link.

Doctors often warn that being overweight can increase the risk of developing cancer. But this study highlights that those forms of the disease convey the greatest risk.

Led by scientists from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, researchers gathered data on five million people living in the UK, monitoring changes to their health over seven years.

They found that each 13-16kg (2-2.5 stone) of extra weight an average adult gained was linked firmly and linearly to a greater risk of six cancers.

How big this risk var-

ied, depending on tumour type. Cancer of the uterus had the highest increased risk, and others included: *Gallbladder *Kidney *Cervix *Thyroid *Leukaemia had the lowest rise in risk People who had a high body-mass index (calculated using weight and height) were also more likely to develop cancer of the liver, colon, ovaries, and post-

menopausal breast cancer.

But the effects for these cancers were less clear-cut, and were influenced by individual factors, such as the menopause.

Researchers say that though obesity is associated with the development of the most common cancers, which represent 90% of those diagnosed in the UK, some showed no link at all.

And there is evidence

to suggest that a higher BMI is associated with a lower chance of getting prostate cancer.

Dr Krishnan Bhaskaran, who led the research, said: “There was a lot of variation in the effect of BMI on different cancers.

“For example, risk of cancer of the uterus increased substantially at higher body-mass index. For other cancers, we saw a more modest increase in risk, or no effect.

“This variation tells us that BMI must affect cancer risk through a number of different processes, depending on cancer type.”

Tom Stansfeld, from Cancer Research UK, said: “Although the relationship between cancer and obesity is complex, it is clear that carrying excess weight increases the risk of developing cancer.

“Keeping a healthy weight reduces cancer risk, and the best way to do this is through eating a healthy, balanced diet and exercising regularly.”

Gigi is so

SO NATURAL… And SO NOW!

Jiggy Jiggy

By Ruth Benson

By Carl from Robot

This week sees the launch of ‘Gigi Noir’s’ collection with the online chain ASOS. For those of you who have not heard of Gigi Noir, let me enlighten you.

AS forecast earlier this year, all things colour were toned down. Out went shocking and in came natural.

Clients went back to basics with their colours, opting for subtle rather than anything too gaudy - hints of colour rather than full-on.

So, as the summer starts to draw to a close (but the heat doesn’t) what do we see, colourwise, coming in the autumn-winter seasons?

Well, the “dip-dying effect” has been around for a while, but things are about to get even more subtle. Overlydone, two-tone looks will no longer do!

Instead, we see a gradual colouring of undetectable, darke- root areas, leading to lighter ends.

It is so subtle that it blends unnoticeably, as though the sun has faded out your colour halfway down your hair.

This colouring process looks great on mediumto-longer hair - especially if you love to curl it into big waves.

The products that are being sold are an erotic range which includes hand-cuffs, multi-use collars, head bands, tassels and blindfolds.

The range is aimed at 18 - 25 year olds and comes in gold and black with sequins, recycled leather and Swarovski crystals.

Along with the products the company are campaigning for better sex education with a campaign called ‘Ladies Come First’!

This range, to be sold on ASOS is something new to the online chain and the CEO’s of Gigi Noir, sisters Sophie and Alice Holloway, say the company were convinced to stock the range due their positive perception of sex and sex education.

The ladies, known as the ‘Mistresses of Tease Wear’, say the erotic market has mainly been aimed at older generations and their products are aimed at young adults who are also entitled to ‘tease wear’.

The campaign ‘Ladies Come First’ has been set up to educate young men and women on sexual issues such as consent, pleasure, confidence and communication.

Sophie emphasises the importance of educating at a young age and says that “not all porn should be seen

as bad but it’s not how people should be learning about sex.”

She wants to make sure that young people are getting the right ideas of sex, respect and confidence in themselves as well as their partner.

This range could not have come, ahem, at a better time with the Fifty Shades of Gray phenomenon showing no signs of going away.

Believe me, lots of women feel more liberated after reading

those books. Ann Summers saw an increase in sales for whips, blindfolds and handcuffs, which are predominant in the books. The range

by Gigi Noir can be nothing but good news as far as I am concerned as it is being used to highlight to young adults the delights of relationships and the need for education regarding sexual choices.

And I’m sure the hubby will see it that way.

This process is known as “ombre”, and we have seen it around for a while.

But it has taken on a new twist by being that bit more “blended” definitely no two-tone colouring - and what this process does is to give the hair an illusion of being denser because it picks out the movement in your hair.

It creates a “sunkissed” look, without overly done, and the effect is stunning....a whole new take on the highlighted effect, and much more natural.

This method is suitable for colours that start from a mid-brown to a dark-blonde - either naturally or coloured.

And it is a lot quicker than having a full head of highlights - and gives a more definite effect.

As for those of you with shorter hair, go for full colouring rather bits of highlights this season.

This also gives your hair a fuller look, and makes its condition so much better than an overdose of highlights.

But if you still like a few tones running through your hair, opt for blended tones rather than clashing. Stay away from stripy highlights and go for a more natural approach.

After all, no one wants to see chunks of colour any more. So think natural!

As for styling, “bigger” is in - there is more movement, more oomph and definitely no more ironed-to-death hair.

It is time to dig out the rollers and practise that blow-drying technique.

“Done” hair will be in, stylewise, so forget not bothering and scraping back your locks.

Agggghhhhh! it’s about time you saw the more glamorous but natural you!

Fade to Grey

By Monica Dyson PEOPLE over the age of 65 don’t always describe themselves as old - and with good reason!

They resent the ageism that seems to prevail against them, and it appears that Britain ranks among Europe’s worst countries for it.

The boom in the number of pensioners still working has provoked a wave of resentment among some young people. Many believe there are far too few jobs to enable those over retirement age to stay on in work, and that workers over 60 are slower and less productive than them.

The extent of ageism among the young is alarming, and it comes in the wake of figures which show that nearly one-third of newly-created jobs have gone to the over-65s.

It has been condemned as ageism, which has no place in a society directed at a group of people who, although being older, are active, energetic and contribute hugely to many of the most successful businesses and organisations in the UK. It’s a no-win situation.

Many pensioners admit they cannot afford to

give up work, with legislation meaning that unless they are deemed to be incompetent, they can stay in their jobs for as long as they like.

Soaring numbers of old people, nearing what was considered to be retirement age, look at their financial situation, inadequate pensions and gradually-eroding savings … and decide to keep working.

The gradual increase of the age at which state pension is paid is also piling financial pressure on a generation of work-

ers. And there are many who do not have any kind of work-related or private pension.

This means they see the prospect of working right into old age a genuine prospect.

I have retired friends who looked for a “little job” - one as an office cleaner three mornings a week, one as a barmaid and others working on supermarket tills, or at local DIY superstores.

Managers of these places have tried to interest younger people

Arona Lions crack it again!

ARONA Lions Club, of Las Galletas and Costa del Silencio, thanks everyone who supported members at their brilliant bash at Clouseaus, Palm Mar, on 10th August.

The Lions also offer special thanks for the entertainers who worked for free.

It’s 7pm (7.30 sitdown) for a threecourse meal, with nibbles before and coffee and cake after.

Entertainment will be supplied by Cy Benson (compere), Emma Blacka and Nigel Walker. And host for the evening will be

but have had no luck in recruiting. So they are grateful for the pensioners to swell their workforce.

Having said that, legions of talented, professional people have lost their jobs and are nowhere near pension age, are frustrated increasingly by a system which considers people finished at 50.

One of the areas hit by ageism is in television. Although more than 54% of BBC1 viewers are over 55, with possibly the same true of other channels and there is certainly a market for productions like Last Tango in Halifax and the films Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Philomena amongst older cinema goers - there are differing views about the suitability of TV presenters of a certain age.

Newsreader Michael Buerk says TV presenters who got their jobs through their looks should have nothing to complain about when they are older, with fading appeal, and are no longer considered attractive enough to front a programme.

And singer/TV star Cilla Black said recently she likes only to look at young and pretty people on the television, un-

less they are especially talented. Mind you, in 2010 she was quoted as saying that she hoped she wouldn’t live longer than the age of 75.

But being over 70 now, she wants to be careful for what she wishes!

And Fiona Bruce, who can do no wrong, presenting not only the news but practically every other programme also, admits that she has to work at keeping her looks dying her grey hair and ever-conscious that she might be near her “sellby date”.

Selina Scott, definitely retired prematurely from TV presenting and often described as “the thinking-man’s crumpet”, once said: “When your age exceeds your bra size, you’ve finished!”

Presenter Miriam O’Reilly sued the BBC successfully for age-discrimination in 2009, after being told to watch her wrinkles and any bits of grey hair that might be showing, and then having her contract as Countryfile presenter terminated.

I am passionately against any suggestion of ageism where jobs are concerned. Many of our most successful stars are getting on a bit.

Mary Berry seems to have found a new lease

of life at nearly 80. David Dimbleby is 75, Angela Rippon 69 and Gloria Hunniford is in her middle 70s.

However, I don’t want really don’t want to watch programmes like Amazing Greys. Why should it be thought so wonderful that people can actually still function when they get older?

The whole programme seems to be based on the moronic belief of the young that youth is better, with the presenter actually seeming amazed that elderly participants can actually walk without a zimmer frame!

There have been accusations of ageism by defunct TV “personalities”.

But, in the case of one of the more publicised ones, in which John McCririck was released from his position as racing pundit, it was well-known that his departure had more to do with his loud-mouthed and chauvinistic persona than anything to do with age. And I go along with that.

And I can think of a few more annoying people on the box I’d like to get rid of, most of them with a long way to go to retirement.

So I can’t be accused of ageism!

Say hello to our inmates SUMMER has seen a large increase in abandoned dogs on the Island, and over the last six weeks, no fewer than122 dogs have been collected by Protection Civil.

Who will love old Danko?

IT’S not always about cute puppies, so please consider our older dogs as well because they also deserve a chance.

Danko has been with us way too many years and, now he’s seven, we really are on a mission to find him that perfect home. He is a friendly,

handsome spanielcross, and after his recent grooming session, he is looking rather smart.

Danko comes with a clean bill of health, and our usual 110-euro adoption fee for a male dog covers all his vaccinations, chip and sterilisation.

Can you offer Danko his forever home? If so, please call 629 388 102 to arrange a meeting.

That was in response to police action from the streets of Granadilla, Arona and Guia de Isora.

With our already-full refuge, this has put enormous strain on our resources and facilities.

So if you are considering adopting a dog, please visit us.

Two lucky podencos have flown to Germany to start their new life, but we still have more than 60 of the same breed awaiting new homes patiently.

And with the hunting season upon us, many more will surely be arriving at Accion.

Please call 922 778 630

for more information, or if you would like to help out in any way, towels and blankets are always needed for the dogs.

The refuge is situated on the Granadilla Industrial Estate, Exit 51 on the TF1, and directly next to ITER, by the windmills.

It is open to the public on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, from 2-5pm, and on Saturdays from 1-4pm.

The refuge is closed Wednesdays, Sundays and on public holidays.

Food

22nd August 2014 - 28th August 2014

Education the key to BBQ success Pre-cook food before sticking it on the Barbie.

That’s the advice from the Food Standards Agency.

A major new survey shows that food poisoning affects almost all of us. Last year in the UK 94% of people admitting to at least one bad barbecue habit.

In a survey of over two thousand adults 21% said they believed they had been ill due to something they ate.

Almost a third admitted to not checking if food was properly cooked before they ate it.

Among the FSA’s tips is advice to pre-cook food before putting it on the grill and they also point out that meat should be steaming hot throughout, not pink, and any juices should run clear.

The FSA also warns that disposable barbecues take longer to cook food and raw chicken should never be washed as it can splash germs around.

FSA chief executive Catherine Brown said: “Food poisoning is a real risk at barbecues and so we are reminding people to take good care of their families and friends by paying attention to simple food safety rules.”

The FSA survey showed that nearly a quarter of those who are the ‘main BBQ chef’ did not usually cook at home.

One in five admitted to not keeping raw and cooked meat on separate plates, and more than half risked cross-contamination by using the same tongs throughout the process.

Cross-contamination causes food poisoning in around 280,000 people every year alone, but it is easily avoidable.

Plug into electricity!

By Jav THERE will obviously be some questions and queries about the future of electric cars. But take it from here: they have taken off!

These incredible machines can no longer be

ignored, and experts are already predicting the year when EVs will account for one million worldwide registrations.

Some say it will take a decade, while others predict it will happen sooner. Some can even see the day when “plug-in” cars will account for one in every 10 sold.

A roll-call of a few of the big introductions of 2013 shows what’s behind the breakthrough.

The Renault Zoe

proved that EVs can be cheap, the Tesla Model S that they can be grand and the Porsche 918 Spyder that they can be supercars.

It’s as though every new example represents a significant step forward for the breed.

And here comes another one: the i3, the first battery-powered series production BMW. It is the battery car produced with evident freedom, imagination and commitment - and

then draped in European, premium-brand allure.

BMW have not dabbled in mass-production electric cars before the i3 (and its sister car, the hybrid i8). However, the programme which spawned these models - Project i does provide direct antecedents.

The first phase included the Mini E, which offered a remarkably similar range and performance to the i3, and began field-testing

in 2009. This was succeeded in the second phase by the ActiveE, a 1-series that previewed the i3’s electric motor and entered two years of global testing in 2012 with a fleet of 1100 cars.

BMW’s i3, then, represents the sum total of everything learned in that lengthy, studious process. Two versions are offered. The first is a pure electric version, with a range of up to 100 miles.

The second is the BMW i3 Range Ex-

tender, which offers the same all-electric powertrain, with the addition of an on-board, petrol-powered generator.

So, when the battery becomes depleted, the generator fires up to ensure you can continue your journey.

Could there be a better invitation than the BMW i3 to take the plunge on zero-emissions motoring?

Don’t hold your breath because it will be here soon enough!

Why brake pads are so important

By Emma at Motorworld

THERE are many essential parts which make up a car’s braking system, and of most importance are the pads.

These are vital because they contact and

apply pressure and friction to a vehicle’s brake discs to stop the wheels.

Though the role of pads is pretty simple, the pads themselves are anything but.

Because of the speeds at which wheels turn, the pads are subject to a great deal of stress every time you slow down or stop.

In the old days, drivers were taught to decelerate using the gearbox. Now, though, most deceleration is done

using the brake pedal.

There are several types of brake pads, and several manufactures providing different qualities of pads.

Organic pads Many years ago, brake pads were made using asbestos as the friction material, which was excellent at absorbing and dissipating the heat generated, until asbestos was banned for health reasons.

Now, some pads and other brake parts are made from safer, organ-

ic materials like glass and rubber, as well as resins that can withstand high heat.

Kevlar is also an important component in many organic brake pads.

Ceramic pads These offer great braking performance, wear brilliantly over time and are lightweight. But they are extremely expensive and aren’t used for every type of vehicle.

Metallic pads Most vehicles today are fitted with metallic

pads, which are made of iron, copper, steel and graphite, all mixed together to form the pad material.

They are cost-effective and durable, providing good performance. The downside is that they work best when they’re warm, which means that on a really cold day - not applicable over here stops may take slightly longer than usual until the pads heat up.

Most drivers will end up using several sets of

brake pads throughout their car’s life, but it is always wise to choose the pads carefully.

Some manufactures’ pads will last as long as 40.000 kilometres whereas others last half that distance.

As they are such a vital part of the braking system, cheap pads are not always the best to go for.

Sometimes, there is little difference in price, but a major difference in quality and durability.

Shamrocks fall through Trap Door THE old commentators curse.

After bigging them up as favourites for the Division 1 title, last weeks result would suggest that I know nothing.

A nice shock for Gaffers A who closed the gap to just 2 points after they beat Naughty Nautas, 6-2. The other Emerald team also lost 6-2 at home to Chipeque, while Playboys Alex hit his first 180 during a tight 4-4 draw with Sundowners. Elsewhere, a mid table affair saw Picassos nudge out Pas O Nadas by 5 to 3.

The Chippers and the Warriors continue to fight out their own battle at the top of Division 2. The Chippers

But, having dropped just 4 points in their previous 4 matches, Emerald Shamrocks 6-2 defeat at Trap Door came as a real shock.

The Fantasy team of

the week was a mixed bag, with the top points’ scorers coming from eight clubs.

Hull, Chelsea and Arsenal contributed two players apiece, with the rest coming from Spurs, Southampton, Swansea, Liverpool and West Brom.

The Oasis Fm Team of the Week were Tiptoppers, managed by Lesley Bradley. He opened the season with an im-

pressive 73 points, the stars of the team being Raheem Sterling, Aaron Ramsey and Daniel Sturridge.

Jonay Diaz and Dorset-born Nicky Abbott will be delighted with their 68 points, and the oldest entrant, Steve Snook, is in the top 10 at No.5 The Oasis Fm crew made miserable starts and none more so than Adi Benson. His pitiful

effort of just 30 points sees him in 80th place

- and that is third bottom!

The brand new season is underway, and it promises to be the most exciting yet.

There is an expanded top flight in the Direct Telecom Pool League and most of the teams have been strengthening their rosters. There are some sides making top-flight debuts and it will be interesting to see how they get on. Traditionally, the new teams hold their own at the higher standard. Palms B and Exiles B in particular should claim a few scalps.

There is a topflight reprieve for the Spoon Squad aka Terrace A, and I know there are a few tasty side-bets on whether they can finish higher than their B team.

In Division Two

22nd August 2014 - 28th August 2014

First blood to Gaffers we have two new sides from the Sporting Jester and the A side are already talking up a title challenge. Waterfall B joins the second tier as well, while a combined Bluebell side could take some stopping.

League matches get underway on Tuesday and there is a juicy derby match at Palms Bar.

There is no love lost between the two sides but the class of the A team should get them home with the aid of new signing Penguin.

Defending champions Tenerife Hammers A have a dream start at home to the Spoon Squad while Gaffers A have a tough one at Pink A. Exiles B might

shock Phoenix Knights while Terrace B look to do the same at home to Sheepy’s new look Waterfall A boys.

Like in the top flight there is a first night derby at Toscales, which should be fun, and two new sides clash. Sporting Jester A travel to Waterfall B while Gaffers B’s contest with Pink B could be game of the night in division two.

Last Tuesday the Supercopa, the traditional curtain raiser, saw Tenerife Hammers A chinned again. They have lost the last three Supercopas, but maybe it’s a good thing, as every season they have gone on to win the league!

Gaffers A put down a real marker with the win, and

they were good value for it. The record books will say it was 7-5, but this included a dead rubber for Hammers and Gaffers were guilty of throwing some frames in the bin. Late on Ashley, Neil and Lee

all managed to miss simple frame winning shots, while Hammers skipper Wez had no luck as he kissed in a black to gift away a frame.

Fritzel was in good nick for the champions, but they looked rusty and could be vulnerable in the early weeks of the season.

Tenerife ready for promotion push

By Roscoe This Sunday Tenerife travel to Ponferradina as the new Segunda Division season gets underway.

Last season will be remembered as a crazy campaign. A luckless winless start that screamed ‘relegation’, a resurgence, a promotion push, a catastrophic finish and the emergence of a Premier League player.

There was harmony with the fans, a team full of local lads, away wins, proof the youth policy was bearing fruit and just the one manager!

At the start of the season the goal was to avoid relegation and a year on some fans would take that again. But if you step backwards for a moment, there is more on the horizon and a bigger fish to net.

Alvaro Cervera starts his third campaign in the dugout but he has a few dissenting voices in the stands. Technically he is in charge of all footballing matters and fans need to remember that. He brought in the director of football and uniquely in Spain, all the singings have gone through him.

He’s done an excellent job of making the side more ‘Tenerife’. This summer he has added a touch of quality and I think class. That said, CDT cannot have another slow start but the pre season has been poor.

They have a dream run of matches before the Derby game at the end of September so there is no bedding in time.

GOALKEEPERS Jacobo returns to Spain and brings a wealth of experience. He is much taller and more imposing than Roberto who had a so-so debut season.

For me Jacobo starts as number one and I doubt he would come back

from Greece to warm the bench. He was excellent at Valladolid when they went up a few years ago.

DEFENCE With Bruno jumping ship to Real Betis a first choice centre back has been the priority all summer. Athletic Bilbao’s Unai Albizua is given the chance to prove himself at this level. On the plus side he’s rated in Bilbao and has signed a new contract. On the down side he is now 25 and has spent most

of his career the level below. We’ve needed a first choice left back for a while so enter Wigan’s Juan Carlos Garcia. The Honduran played in the World Cup a few weeks ago! Javi Moyano and Carlos Ruiz complete the line up.

MIDFIELD Local hero Vitolo is back! He is a massive signing and he is a La Liga player in everything but name. His partnership with Aitor Sanz will be vital. Sanz also needs to

show some control and stop the silly bookings.

Quique and Ricardo are fine back ups. Suso and Cristo will patrol the wings with Guarrotxena, Cristian Garcia and the fascinating Maxi Perez all providing competition. In brief we look strong and should have the depth to really get among the top sides.

ATTACK With Ayoze Perez settling in well at Newcastle, Tenerife needed a big signing and boy did they get one. Diego Ifran had a fine end to the season as Deportivo earned promotion. He was easing back after a serious knee injury and was a regular at Real Sociedad before he was struck down.

With a full pre season under his belt and with two wingers he should make hay.

Tenerife have done some pruning and also sent some the best kids out on loan. Alberto, Abel, Angel and Nano have all signed new long term contracts and will

get a season in Segunda B. And all eyes will be on Jairo who has impressed since linking up from the B team. Will he be this years Ayoze? Talking of which he made an eye catching debut for Newcastle against Man City on Sunday and become the first Tenerife man to play in the Premier League. And at the end he embraced Gran Canaria born David Silva to make it a great day for the archipelago!

Premier League preview

By Adi Benson THE Premier League is back, and it’s as if it has never been away.

There are plenty of talking points, some stunning goals and Man Utd losing - as usual!

It also means my match reviews and predictions are back. But for those who won money by betting against them last season, beware! I have been doing my homework during the summer.

For this season, the Editor has decided to launch a new BEAT BENSON feature.

Every week, I will go head-to-head with a reader. If, somehow, he/ she manages to defeat me, he/she will walk away with an exclusive

I Beat Benson Canarian Weekly T-shirt.

My first challenger is Steve Schofield (pictured), who won last season’s Fantasy League. Let battle commence!

Aston Villa v Newcastle Villa started with a fine win, but I am not sure too many will follow.

They have bought players in at the end of their careers, Roy Keane is assistant boss and Randy Lerner has the club up for sale.

Not exactly a stable base with which to launch the season. The Geordies have invested well this summer and look to have bought in some quality players.

They gave a really good account of themselves against Man City and, should they continue to play that way, they will have a good season.

Prediction: Away win Beat Benson: Home win Chelsea v Leicester Chelsea seem to be most people’s tip for league champions, and they started their campaign with a comforta-

ble win against Burnley.

For me, though, if Diego Costa gets injured or doesn’t play to form, they may struggle for goals. But this will give them two wins from two.

I have tipped Leicester to struggle, yet they were bright against Everton. But it is still going to be a long season.

Prediction: Home win Beat Benson: Home win C Palace v West Ham Palace started without a manager after Tony Pulis, last season’s saviour, left, unhappy about investment in the team. They have bought a couple of players in, but they are likely to be in for a season of fighting at the bottom.

Hammers’ fans are demanding entertaining football this season, but I’m afraid that with “Big Sam” at the helm, it’s not going to happen. This is already a must-win game for him.

But Palace are tough at home so, lose and he may go.

Prediction: Draw Beat Benson: Home win Soton v West Brom So the Saints sell all their best players and are relegation fodder?

But after their showing against Liverpool, it would seem not! Ronald Koeman has bought in some good players, and has more decent youngsters coming through, and I believe they will finish in the top 10.

West Brom have tinkered with their squad and will be hoping to get points on the board early. But Alan Irvine does not have the experience to do this, in my view. They are going to struggle against the better teams.

Prediction: Home win Beat Benson: Home win Swansea v Burnley The Swans were also tipped to struggle this season, but they played some good football at Old Trafford and will now be full of confidence. It is Gary Monk’s first full season in charge and he will be glancing around thinking there are 5 or 6 teams worse than Swansea. They should be safe come May. Burnley on the other hand are going to have to endure one long season but they did Ok against Chelsea on Monday.

Prediction: Away Win Beat Benson: Home win Everton v Arsenal Everton will have been disappointed with letting slip a lead last week. They are basically the same team as last year with one or two tweaks. The Gunners huffed and puffed past Palace on Saturday and were no better in the Champions League qualifier. I believe Wenger would take a point now if offered it.

Prediction: Draw Beat Benson: Away win Hull v Stoke Hull were excellent at home last season until Christmas. Goals could be a problem for them, but they will be buoyed after an opening-weekend win.

Much has been written about Stoke’s change in style, but it was not evident in their first match against Villa. They have signed Bojan, who has

played for Barcelona and Ajax.

He is being hailed as a top talent. But his stats are not that good.

I expect to see long-ball Stoke back in no time.

Prediction: Home Wwn Beat Benson: Draw Spurs v QPR It’s a big season this year for Spurs after a less-convincing run last time out. They spent all the Gareth Bale money last summer and have not really dipped into the market much this year.

Their problem area is up front, Soldado wants to go, and that would leave just Adebayor and Kane, with Adebayor off to the African Cup of Nations in January!

Arry, wheeler-dealer, is back at White Hart Lane, just visiting this time, though, and he will want three points.

He has spent money strengthening his defence, but they promptly lost the first game after a defensive error.

He will spend more money, and we all look forward to his car-window interviews come deadline day!

Prediction: Home win Beat Benson: Home win Sunderland v Man Utd Sunderland had a good record against United last season and, after watching Swansea beat them, they will be confident of another win against them.

Gus Poyet kept them up, and they need to kick on from that. Money has been spent, and they are still trying to

bring players in, notably a striker. So Louis van Gaal is the saviour, after the chosen one, Well that went well! United need players, but they are struggling to bring them and seem to be turning their attentions to plan B, looking at players who were, maybe, second-choice options.

Not what the fans want to see, and it was never going to be a quick-fix with regards the squad.

Prediction: Away win Beat Benson: Away win Man City Liverpool So City start a title defence again, but this time around they look better-equipped. Their best players have signed new contracts, and they have made some good signings to add to the squad.

They were confident against Newcastle and looked assured, even though their opponents gave a very good accountant of themselves.

For me, the title is theirs to lose.

Liverpool have to try to cope with the loss of Luis Suarez and, although they have spent money, they still need a top-class striker.

Their defence was poor last season, and it was obvious they needed to invest, which they did. But on this showing against Southampton, it looked like same-old, same-old. I feela title is beyond them, but a topfour finish should be possible.

Prediction: Home win Beat Benson: Home win
