Cream of the crop ready to do battle Over 1,000 people will watch the extravaganza, and many more will tune in to Oasis Fm, which is broadcasting the whole afternoon live on its new 106.3fm frequency, and around the world via oasisfm.com.

The first TEAs ceremony took place in May 2006 at Pleasure Island, in Las Americas with 10 categories, including Best Venue and Best Comedy act.

Winners that day included Paul Lee, Hot Ice, Bitter & Twisted and a youthful Wild Boyz. Tim Lane won the Outstanding Contribution Award, and the afternoon saw live performances from the Cormack Brothers and Kracka.

The Awards moved the following year to Exit Palace, where they were hosted for the next few years. The TEAs popularity grew year on year, and in 2011 a new home was found at the impressive Castillo San Miguel.

This move took the event to a new level. With an explosive opening, big half-time show and the expansion of live categories, which were voted for on the day, the show became a must for residents.

The roll of honour has become a who’s-who of the local entertainment scene. The majority of entertainers are delighted to simply be nominated, but with the prestige of the event increasing every year, so has the honour of winning.

The TEAs are modelled on a different theme every year, and the 2014 event revolved around the Eighties as it was the 8th TEAs. So, with that in mind, this year has a Nineties flavour and the organisers have lined up a show that reflects the decade.

Long-time host Na-

than Swift, back for the eighth time, told Canarian Weekly what it meant to him.

“It’s my biggest gig of the year, professionally and personally, and means more than any other,” he said. “Honoured is an understatement.

“When I think back to the first one at Pleasure Island, with a couple of hundred people there, look how it has developed and grown through Exit Palace to the Castillo San Miguel, it is quite unbelievable.

“The attitude towards it has changed greatly; many of the original doubters are now its biggest supporters. It

has become an annual institution and is so much more than a dozen trophies.”

Nathan added: “To have been a part of that is just incredible, and I’m so pleased that people understand what it is now.”

Over the years, Nathan has dressed, sang and performed as many characters. Last year, memorably, he bounded on stage as Freddie Mercury.

We asked what has been the highlight. “I think Daffyd from Little Britain was one of the daftest,” he said.

“The Knight was the warmest, King Julian was the most fun and

Freddie the most challenging, but releasing my inner Eighties’ rocker was the most liberating.

“It used to be about just getting me in a ridiculous outfit, but it has now progressed to being a performance in itself.”

The TEAs event is a proper awards show, with two live categories decided on the day.

This year, the Best Male Singer will see Marc Craig, Michael Leavy Jnr, Mikey Mike and Spencer Robson battling it out.

The Best Solo Performer has Didi, Luke Towler, Phil Francis and Scott Bateman performing live with instruments in a fascinating battle.

Canarian Weekly entertainment correspondent Jamie Droo says it will be a treat to watch. “Didi, is hugely popular among the entertainer community, and he is no stranger to the live category, either,” he adds.

“The last time he was involved in the live vote was as a member of the band Kick, and they really did kick because their live act was performed in bright-green mankinis and cowboy boots. So this year, expect something off-thehook from Didi.

“Phil Francis, a magician on both electric and acoustic guitars, will surely dazzle with his skills. Scott Bateman has amazing vocals and, coupled with what he can do with a six-string, will take some beating.

“Luke has been building his reputation over the last few years here and in the UK. He has performed on stage with the likes of Dappy, and was the support act for Cody Simpson and Stereokicks during their respective UK tours. Plus, he also has almost 31,000 followers on Twitter.

“But ultimately, this will come down to the live vote on the day, and what is produced during their 7-10 minute time-slot.”

And it’s the buzz of the crowd and the big occasion which really sets the TEAs apart from anything else, as Nathan admits. “Back stage is normally chaos,” he says.

“There are so many performers, all being orchestrated to be where they need to be.

“I tend to stay out of the way, keeping my emotions in check. The TEAs is the only event in the last 10 years that makes me nervous. “The magnitude is one thing, but I will never stand on a stage in front of that many gifted entertainers anywhere else. It is genuinely nerve-racking to have to do something they do nightly to entertain them.

“I have so much admi-

ration for the Island’s entertainers, so I put myself right under it entertaining them.”

For many, the Best Compere category is the Blue Riband award.

Jamie Droo is among the nominees and he told us just how close the vote will have been “They would all be worthy winners,” he said.

“Adam Maggs has a style and ideas that nobody else has. Dion has been there and done it - literally everything on the scene, from a party DJ to a celebrated Rock ‘n’ Roll act.

“Craig Shaw has been resident in one venue longer than any other in this category, and has that likeability factor that comes so naturally to him.

“Craig Hevern has a big following of return customers and is resident in one of the most popular karaoke and showbars in the South.

“Michelle Minty is a real Tenerife success story. She has always been a good singer, with a natural gift that engages her audience.

“Finally, Gary Nelson has been hosting venues for years here in Tenerife. Gary can also ad-lib very well, and keep an audience with comedic banter.”

Reserved seating tickets have long since sold out, but you can still pay on the door. Admission is 10 euros for adults and five euros for children. Doors open at 1pm and the show begins at 2pm.

ADEJE Patronal festivals complete the finishing touches to the month-long Lustrales celebrations, opening a Gala show tomorrow (Saturday) with “Obladí Obladá” and a concert

by Fito and Fitipaldis.

The programme of events was presented

by Adeje Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, Creative Development Councillor Adolfo Alonso and Adeje Parish Priest Honorio Campos.

“These are festivities for everyone,” said the Mayor, adding that there were 14 local fiestas in the region. “But this one is universal as it is the last in the festival calendar, and is in celebration of our Patron.”

He also referred to the series of visits from various communities and groups as part of last month’s Lustral celebrations, saying they had been very positive.

“These residents, who make up Adeje, came together and participated under the mantle of Adeje’s iconic figure, the Virgin of the Incarnation.”

The Mayor also said that during the local festivals, there would also be a coming-together of other towns which have the Virgin of the Incarnation as their patron - La Victoria, Hermigua and Valle San Lorenzo in Arona - “celebrating the historic links with Adeje”.

Another event which came in for particular mention was the 90th anniversary of the Adeje Patron band, who will celebrate a twinning with the Municipal Band of Agaete (Gran Canaria).

Councillor Alonso referred to the traditional Romería (pilgrim parade), taking place next Sunday (18th Oct), and

9th October - 15th October 2015

Adeje’s local fiestas all ready for lift-off

the 31st Festival of Folklore, which will include invited groups Surco y Arado and Añate.

He added that the programme for the week “ensured activities for all the family”, and that this year, the quality of events planned was even higher, with concerts by Fito y Fitipaldis, top Spanish comic Carlos Latre on stage and a musical for the kids, Los Payasos de la tele (The clowns from the telly).

There will be street parties with different bands, orchestras and sports activities. The Spanish Domino Championship is also taking place, and much more.

The first non-religious act will be the free show Gala Obladí Obladá, with people from all over Adeje, taking place in the Plaza de España tonight

(Friday) from 10pm. The Church has also thanked the Council for the work “carried out in developing this festival and, in particular, this year following the Lustral visits”.

Parish Priest Honorio said that of all the scheduled religious events and acts, those on Sunday and Monday (11th and 12th Oct) were of particular importance, with Holy Masses in honour of the Virgin of the Incarnation. And the faithful are invited to attend Mass next Sunday (18th Oct), the day of the Romería.

Princess Cristina facing fraud trial

THE sister of Spain’s King Felipe VI will stand trial on tax-fraud charges in January - the first member of the royal family ever to appear in the dock.

Princess Cristina, 50, was formally charged late last year, following a four-year investigation into the affairs of her husband, Iñaki Urdangarin. He faces charges for fraud, falsifying documents and embezzlement.

Urdangarin, a former Olympic handball player, ran a charitable foundation, the Nóos Institute, which is accused of siphoning off some six

million euros in public funds. The trial begin on 11th January in Mallorca’s Palma Court, with Cristina, her husband and 16 others appearing in the dock.

It is alleged that Urdangarin and his former business partner, Diego Torres, used royal connections to win public contracts, overcharged for services and buried

the money in privatelyowned companies and offshore tax havens.

Cristina was on the Board of the Nóos Institute and, with her husband, co-owned another company, Aizoon.

In a ruling last year, the investigating judge said that Urdangarin’s alleged crimes would have been “difficult to commit without at least the knowledge and acquiescence of his wife”.

If convicted, Cristina faces up to four years in prison, while Urdangarin could be landed with a possible sentence of up to 19 years.

They have both denied

any wrong-doing. The inquiry into Cristina and her husband, one of Spain’s longest-running alleged corruption scandals, has been a constant source of embarrassment for King Felipe since he took over the throne of his embattled father, Juan Carlos, last year.

The King, hoping to placate tens of thousands of Spaniards who greeted the news of his father’s abdication with demands for a referendum on the future of the monarchy, vowed to usher in an era of transparency.

His bid to end the

royal family’s scandalplagued past began by him breaking off public ties with his sister, notably excluding her and Urdangarin from royal activities, such as his coronation.

He went a step further in June, stripping Cristina of her title as Duchess of Palma de Mallorca. Yet Cristina is still sixth in line to the throne - a right that only she can relinquish.

Many have pointed to the allegations against her as an indicator of how deeply-embedded corruption is within Spanish society.

Graft scandals have left

few among the Spanish ruling class untainted, engulfing politicians on the left and right, as well as businesses, unions and football clubs.

As Spain gears up for general elections on 20th December, corruption continues to rank as a top concern for Spaniards, second only to unemployment.

With the country’s two main political parties hampered by highprofile graft cases, polls suggest Podemos and Ciudadanos, both of which have vowed to crackdown on the issue, are poised to make substantial electoral gains.

Adeje Mayor opens door to Pink Room ADEJE Mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga has officially opened the Pink Room, a facility in his borough dedicated to offering assistance to those suffering from breast cancer and their families.

This important new meeting centre is on the second floor of the School of Security and Co-existence in Las Nieves, and last Friday’s opening coincided with the start of World Breast Cancer Month.

The Mayor, addressing some 120 people at the event, said: “It’s very important that here in Adeje, in the area in general, we have a space that can be used as a reference point for those engaged in the fight against breast cancer.

“This is also for those who are in search of information, and those

who, maybe, need that information, because early detection is vital.

We also need to work to eradicate taboos surrounding breast cancer and offer solid information.”

The Mayor added: “This is an ideal place to create a focus point for co-operation among medical, professional therapists, who are volunteering their services.

“I am inviting everyone to help create a unit that reflects solidarity and mutual help. And Adeje Council will always be here for you.

“It’s not by chance that we have created this space in the School of Security and Coexistence. This is security on a wider scale - not just policing but also security of health, help for families, mediation ... co-existence is integration.”

Also present at the event was Amada Tru-

jillo Bencomo, Adeje Councillor for Health Protection and Quality of Life, and Brigitte Gypen, the woman behind cancer’s evergrowing Walk for Life movement here in Tenerife.

She mentioned that the idea for The Pink Room was first raised in an interview Radio Sur Adeje’s English Time a few years ago.

Brigitte said: “This service is made possible through those who are working with us in a voluntary capacity.

We will be offering help, but also hosting conferences, workshops, and a lot more.

“The message I also want to send is, ‘we need you because we need people to make

this place work’.”

The Pink Room was conceived with the clear intention of creating a place to help and increase awareness about breast cancer.

People involved - those who are working in the field professionally or on a volunteer basis can use the room to talk about issues affecting those diagnosed with breast cancer.

They can also promote the vital importance of early detection, as well as working on funding, communication avenues, treatments, research, etc.

Councillor Trujillo Bencomo said: “We have to work to reinforce the importance of prevention, and look at how we can help those affected.

One in every eight women can become affected

but with early detection there is an excellent chance of overcoming the cancer.

“With this Pink Room, we will evolve into a meeting point - a place where people can come together to talk, to offer help and advice, psychological assistance if needed - and we will be working with the health centre to promote prevention.”

TITSA bus company has launched its new Network for the South of the Island ... its second in a few months because of customer complaints.

At the end of July, the bus company claimed the new network was “a commitment to improve user services, adapting a network created 30 years ago that no longer responded to the demands of a changing metropolitan society”.

The changes proved fiercely unpopular and long-standing bus users vented their fury at increased travel times and lack of common sense.

So, after numerous complaints from users, municipalities, business associations, social groups and political groups, the authorities have confirmed they will reconsider programming.

Newly-formed group, The Platform of People Affected by the South Titsa Changes (PACTS), has pressed for the restructuring of the bus service.

It’s all gone TITSA up ...again!

RESIDENTS of Playa de Las Americas and collectives of pressure group Grupasca have again complained to the National Police about public prostitution and the lack of public safety.

They want police action against hookers parading in the streets of Llanos de Troy, Arquitecto Gomez Cuesta and Avenue Rafael Puig, as well as on the adjacent golf course of the Las Americas area.

The two groups have been making official protests and denuncias since 2011, and Grupasca emphasises that prostitution is “linked to fights, robberies, thefts and attacks”.

The group adds: “It’s said: “The South Network needs an important change, as questions have been raised by users. The adjustments will be made

before the end of this year.”

It is understood that councillors from Granadilla, San Miguel de Abona, Arona, Adeje,

Guia de Isora, Santiago del Teide and Vilaflor will be asked to contribute ideas on how to make the service better.

Messi is safe, but his dad may face prison LIONEL Messi, who is acknowledged as the best footballer in the world, has had tax charges against him dropped.

But prosecutors in Spain will pursue a case against the Argentina and Barcelona star’s father, Jorge. If convicted, he faces 18 months in prison and a 2m-euro fine.

Both Messi and his father were accused of defrauding Spanish authorities of more

Jobless number down again

THE number of registered unemployed in the Canary Islands in September fell slightly, to stand at 242,313.

The main decreases in the numbers came in the construction and services sectors, according to data released by the Ministry of Employment.

When compared with the same month last year, there are 24,324 fewer people, 9.12%, claiming benefits or officially unemployed.

companies in Belize and Uruguay.

Lionel’s lawyers argued that the player had “never devoted a minute of his life to reading, studying or analysing” the contracts, reported the El Pais newspaper.

Barcelona High Court ruled in June that Messi should not be granted impunity for not knowing what was happening with his finances, which were being managed, in part, by his father.

But the player, regard-

ed as one of the best in the history of the game, will no longer face charges.

The income related to Messi’s image rights, including contracts with Banco Sabadell, Danone, Adidas, PepsiCola, Procter and Gamble, and the Kuwait Food Company.

Messi and his father made a voluntary 5meuro “corrective payment” - equal to the alleged unpaid tax plus interest, in August 2013.

been more than four years since this problem has manifested in the streets, and our citizens are insecure there.”

The pressure group claims that “members of the former government of Arona, representatives of the local police and municipal officers, and the regional government, all pledged to eliminate it, and to carry out works at Llanos de Troya, which have not been done.”

Grupasca says there is a growing problem for those playing sport in the park next to Golf Las Americas.

“They are victims of harassment and attacks by those engaged in prostitution every day of the week, while the staff of the gardens remove daily disposable towels with blood stains, condoms and other waste vessels,” stresses the group.

Work inspectors’ success might hit all the fraudsters THE Ministry of Employment is planning to implement a plan against fraud and labour exploitation in the Canary Islands to “build on the recent success”.

This was explained

by Patricia Hernandez, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Employment, who specified that, since the year began, inspectors have detected 3,378 people working illegally.

Hernandez made the remarks at the inauguration ceremony of Deputy Minister of Employment Rafael Yanes, who was given the task of achieving a reduction in the numbers of unemployed and those illegally working.

The plan, prepared by the MOE, requires a lot of work ahead and, according to calculations by rating agency Fitch, the underground economy gen-

erates tens of millions of euros annually in the Canaries.

It also believes it could be as high as 28% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

This means that one in three euros in the economy of the Canary Islands comes from the undeclared economy.

In addition, more than half of the unemployed in the archipelago do not get paid any type of benefit - a situation that encourages fraud.

The Canaries is the fourth region with higher levels of underground economy, preceded only

by Extremadura, Andalusia and Castilla-La Mancha. These are also the four regions with the highest unemployment rate in the country.

The new action is financed by the Ministry of Employment, Social Policy and Housing and the fight against the underground economy involves an investment of 140,000 euros, which will be distributed among 10 projects.

Your Emails

The editor says...

Dear Editor,

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

It’s easy to do... yes?

AS you have already read, the TEAs are this weekend, and it’s always a day I look forward to. Those behind the scenes work so hard to make the event a big success.

It’s a lot of work. The fairies don’t just open the doors at 1pm and everything is done. It entails months of arranging. In fact, the planning normally starts the day after the Awards.

Even the nomination process must be a headache - the counting and verifying of thousands and thousands of votes.

Then there is the ticketing. Tables. Chairs.

Making sure everyone is fitted in, while secretly knowing at some point that someone will ask; “Can I squeeze in one more?”

Then they want to sit by their friends, even though the table is on the other side of the venue. The late cancellations. The lastminute: “I know all the seats and tables are gone, but it’s me!”

And this is weeks before the actual show, which takes months of planning.

The idea, the concept, the booking of the talent, choreography, finding the music, making it flow.

Dancers. The host! He

needs flights and hotel bookings. Then the live acts. Will they be available? What will they play and how will it look? Voting on the day: who will count and verify? Is there an internet connection and what will happen when 1,000 people try to use Facebook at the same time?

Backstage. Are there enough power points and what does the sound guy need? Oh yes. Book the sound guy!

Does the venue have enough beer or the right wine? Or real Red Bull? Will everyone turn up for sound checks on time? Door staff.

And for some reason, it normally rains!

How do we get 1,000 people in safely, seated properly at the right table, and make sure we start on time? A mic won’t work and the dancer has done a heel.

Do we have any superglue?

Where are the category envelopes? Are all the announcers here, and who ordered the trophies? And the champers?

Flowers?

Is the backdrop bright enough, and can everyone hear the stage at the back?

And that’s all before the show starts!

I write to ask you to bring awareness (and possibly start a clean-up campaign) of the filthy, stinking, dog mess that covers the streets and pavements of Los Cristianos, particularly around the Arona Gran area.

So called “dog-lovers” very rarely clean up after their dogs, which leaves this beautiful little town in a disgusting state.

The “dog-mess” signs everywhere are clearly being ignored, but why should residents have to live with the stinking mess left by irresponsible people?

Regards, Linda Powell

Dear Editor, We have just holidayed on San Miguel’s Golf del Sur, and have done on numerous times for several years.

On an Island featuring a fantastic climate, it is an obvious draw for thousands of tourists.

The superb food and entertainment only enhance your “sellability” in a competitive market.

However, you are suffering with irresponsible, disrespectful dog-owners, who use the pavements and common areas as public dog toilets.

More and more people seem to be getting a dog - nothing wrong with that - but surely when your whole Island depends on tourists, the last thing they want to see is the filth and health hazards that are blighting streets and walkways.

What are your options? Carry on as you are? Or start enforcing a community policy which encourages all complexes and hotels to publish on walls or railings that Dog Fouling is unacceptable. And small fines for those caught.

But in reality, who polices this? Name and shame culprits but, again, who catches them.?

At the risk of losing people who spend good money and keep these resorts alive, I feel you need to educate locals in the wider picture of dog-ownership.

Only peer pressure will bring a turnaround and I hope, at the risk of balancing tourists against locals, you achieve significant improvements.

Regards, Scotty (Wigan)

Dear Editor, For many years we have holidayed at the Bahia Principe, in Costa Adeje, where I fell in love with a cat, fondly known as Dirty Harry. He’s so famous that he has his own Facebook page.

Last month, I was informed by another catlover that the hotel had removed all the cats because of complaints about the possibility of disease.

Harry has lived at this hotel for all the time I have been going there - since 2009 - and it is the only home he has ever known.

When I contacted the hotel, they said the cats had been handed over to a veterinary centre, but would give no further information. A guest at the hotel, who is staying there at the moment, has reported that there are still a couple of cats on the complex, and I am desperate to know what has happened to Harry.

I just want to know that he is safe, and would love to be able to contribute to his upkeep, wherever he is. Can anyone help?

Foreigners move to land of opportunity THE South of Tenerife, a land of opportunity, continues to be a magnet for an increasing number of people, who choose this area to settle in the search for a better quality of life.

In the southern municipalities, the number of non-Spanish residents has exploded, according to the Canarian Institute of Statistics (Istac).

This week’s figures show that the registered foreign population has increased by over 50% in the last 10 years in the South, going from 50,524 residents in 2004 to 76,791 in 2014.

The highest growth corresponded to citizens from the European Union (48.047) and, secondly, to people coming from Latin American countries (16,059).

The Arona and Adeje municipalities welcomed threequarters of all foreign residents over the last decade

and now have 50,749 residents combined.

After these two towns stood Granadilla, with 9,400, and San Miguel de Abona, with 4,400.

The new statistics also threw up another reveal factor: the number of Europeans was higher than that of Latin America settlers in every municipality, with the exception of Candelaria and Güímar.

The majority of citizens come from Britain, followed by Italy and Germany.

By municipality, if we compare the current foreign resident population compared with 10 years ago the difference would be: Arona (+11,414) Adeje (+9.591), Granadilla (+2.928), San Miguel (+1.419), Guide Isora (+1.024), Candelaria (+377) Arico (+217), Guimar (+116) Arafo (+15) Vilaflor (-47) and Santiago del Teide (-787).

Madrid conjuring its own VW-style fiddle FOLLOWING Volkswagen’s carengine scandal, Spanish police have smashed a racket said to have been carried out by garages in Madrid involving dodgy emissioncheck devices.

Eight garages are, so far, alleged to have provided customers with mechanical and software services that enabled their cars to cheat emission checks, just as German car-making giants VW have admitted to carrying out, said a police statement last Saturday.

But the total could add up to a staggering 80 garages by the time the cops have finished their extensive probe.

They admit a tip-off led to them discovering that the garages had been removing diesel filters and reprogramming software so that motors could deliver more power, be cheaper to service and trick emissions-testing equipment.

The garages charged customers 100-200 euros to remove diesel particulate filters, thus improving performance and reducing servicing costs, which can add up to 1,200 euros, they said.

The dodgy software, offered as part of the package, then made undetectable the harm-

ful emissions issued by the engines. Police did not say immediately how many people were arrested in the ongoing investigation. But so far, they have gathered enough information to suggest that more than 80 garages throughout Spain have been offering the fraudulent, performance - enhancing, emission-test services.

Investigators discovered that some garages specialised in the removal of filters, whose function is to collect diesel soot, while others concentrated on manipulating the vehicles’ electronics systems.

Diesel engines, which have the filter removed freely, emit particles into the air, “which degrades the atmosphere considerably”, added the statement, issued by the Interior Ministry.

It stressed that so effective was the software re-programming the cars’ computers that it was able to make the pollution produced undetectable to machines supplied to Government-testing centres even to the specialised equipment developed by the vehicles’ manufacturers.

Incredibly, all of the exhaust-tampering services were advertised openly online and inside the garages, said the statement.

And some garages worked on car computers that were delivered to them regularly by post!

Foreign Secretary backing Gibraltar against Spanish

SPAIN has been given a stern warning by a senior British politician about its “unlawful and inexcusable” incursions into Gibraltar’s territorial waters.

In a speech to the Conservative party conference in Manchester, Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond also said the UK Government would uphold Gibraltar’s right to remain British for as long as the Gibraltarians wished it.

And he followed his harsh Spain reprimand with a message to Argentina to end its “shameful bullying and harassment” of the Falkland Islanders.

During a keynote speech, Hammond said that Britain, as a Permanent Member of the UN Security Council, would challenge anyone who sought to

undermine the international rules-based system.

Just days before Gibraltar is discussed at the UN’s annual Fourth Committee meeting, Hammond said the right to self-determination lay at the heart of the UN Charter.

“It’s a ‘right’ that’s being challenged, not just in Eastern Europe or the Middle East but in the waters around Gibraltar and in the South Atlantic, too,” he said.

He told delegates: “Let me say clearly to our Spanish friends - we agree on many things and we want to work with you in the many areas where our interests coincide.

“But violations of Gibraltar’s territorial waters by Spanish state vessels are unlawful and inexcusable.”

He added: “The people of Gibraltar have an inviolable right to remain British. We will maintain that right, for

Spain’s EU budget woes SPAIN could run into trouble with the EU because of its 2015 budget and its draft for 2016, according to the European Commissioner for Economic Affairs.

Pierre Moscovici said on Monday that the Government was at risk of breaking EU fiscal rules, unless they revise both.

“The Commission’s assessment confirms the risk of non-compliance with the pact in both years,” he told a news conference in Luxembourg after a

meeting of euro zone finance ministers.

European Commission forecasts, prepared in September, see Spain’s deficit reaching 4.5% of GDP (gross domestic product) in 2015 instead of the required 4.2%. And the deficit next year is reckoned to be 3.5%, which is much higher than the 2.8% target.

That is why the Commission is urging Madrid’s authorities to “strictly execute the 2015 budget and to take the necessary measures to ensure the 2016 budget will be compliant with EU rules,” said Moscovici.

Spain’s Economy Minister, Luis de Guindos, who remains confident the fiscal targets will be respected, said: “We are absolutely sure that, in 2015, we will reach the objective of 4.2%,” he told reporters after the meeting.

“This will allow us to be in a very good position to reach the target also in 2016.”

An extraordinary meeting of euro zone finance ministers has been scheduled for 23rd November to discuss, exclusively, the budgets of the countries sharing the euro.

But Spain is highly unlikely to present a new budget by then.

New fiscal rules adopted after the euro zone debt crisis give the European Commission the power to ask for amended national budgets. The bloc’s finance ministers have the last say in the monitoring procedure.

Spain will hold national elections on 20th December, and its authorities would be invited to submit an updated budget shortly after the new government takes office, added Moscovici.

The revised budget will include data from Spanish regions which is currently missing.

as long as they wish us to.”

The Foreign Secretary’s words will resonate in Spain, more so because they came three days after his Spanish counterpart, José Manuel GarcíaMargallo, addressed the UN and called for a return to bilateral talks with the UK over sovereignty.

Hammond followed his Gibraltar comments with a solid defence of the Falkland Islands, telling delegates: “While I’m speaking Spanish, let me clarify something for President Kirchner, of Argentina - whatever the Labour leader says, this Conservative Government will never sell out the Falkland Islanders.”

He recalled how the Falkland Islanders voted unanimously - 99.8% on a turn-out of more than 90% - to remain British in a recent referendum.

“The bullying and harassment to which

the islanders continue to be subjected is shameful,” he said. “It’s counter-productiv e, it’s wrong - and it must stop.

“The Falkland Islanders have every right to develop their economy.”

Hammond also claimed that a governing Labour party under Jeremy Corbyn would risk the sovereignty of Britain’s overseas territories.

The message was echoed by Ashley Fox, leader of the Conservative MEPs in the European Parliament, who also represents the South West of England and Gibraltar.

“Let us send out a clear and resolute message today to the people of Gibraltar,” he said. “As long as you want to be British, no matter what intimidation, bullying and threats you may face, we will stand by you; we will defend you.

“The Conservatives will never betray you.”

Drilling U-turn?

EXPLORATIONS carried out in the Moroccan region of Tarfaya, off the coast of Fuerteventura, has shown “signs of gas”.

The revelation was announced this week by the Moroccan National Office of Hydrocarbons (ONHYM).

The exploration work began on 20th August and ended on 18th September after workers had drilled to a depth of 1,814 metres.

It was undertaken

by Irish company San Leon Energy and ON-

HYM in the lot called LAY-4, in the terrestrial zone of Tarfaya.

The two companies are looking to ask for new permits for a more detailed seismic survey to determine the quality and potential of that gas.

The Tarfaya area, on the coast of Western Sahara, is one of the preferred areas by oil and gas companies for their potential onshore and offshore. But so far, none of the scans has had consistent results.

Last month, Repsol said it was mothballing the project as the project was not financially feasible.

Runaway Brit killer arrested in Magaluf A BRITISH killer, hiding out in Mallorca after going on the run in 2010, has been arrested.

Ashley Carlton James was unearthed in the notorious holiday resort of Magaluf, having gone on the run after serving two years of a 10-year manslaughter sentence over the killing of student Uriel Johnson in Bilston, Derbyshire.

He disappeared from Sudbury open prison in 2010 and at the time, Derbyshire Police warned the public not to approach him for safety’s sake.

The 30-year-old is now awaiting extradition in Madrid after being tracked down by Pc Martina Anderson and Sgt Brett Williams.

He was held after the officers were called to help local police deal with a suspected domestic incident. James

scarpered before they arrived, but was traced to nearby Calvia.

James was jailed in July 2008 for his part in the killing of student Uriel Johnson, who was stabbed to death.

Magaluf ’s Guardia Civil confirmed that his arrest was the result of co-operation with the West Midlands officers in the resort.

A spokesman said: “The Civil Guard has arrested British citizen ACJ in Calvia, linked to

an episode of domestic violence on a British woman on August 11 in the same municipality.

“They were co-operating with the Guardia Civil in the Balearic Islands, within the framework of mixed international patrols, and took a statement from the victim.

“With the information obtained from the statement, the Guardia Civil and the British police began an investigation, which culminated with the identification and arrest of the individual.

“This person was on the run from British justice because of a homicide committed in the UK.” The open prison, from which more than 100 dangerous prisoners including killers, armed robbers and drug dealers - have gone on the run in recent years, has been under fire for its lack of security for local residents, and for being unable to re-

settle prisoners. West Midlands officers spent a week in Magaluf, and more time in neighbouring Ibiza, during the peak of summer, in-

itially to help Spanish cops handle problems caused by drunken British revellers. But they were slated when it was discovered that

they had no powers of arrest. Some were even pictured swimming in the sea and lounging by a hotel pool. Not this time, though!

New-car sales are booming SALES of new cars in Spain are heading in the right direction and, according to forecasts, by the end of 2015 there will be a year-on-year increase of over 20%.

Over 55,000 units will be sold this year in the Islands, said Rafael Pombriego, President of the Canarian Federation of Automobile Importers and Distributors (Fredica).

“It was very complicated and worrying during the crisis, especially in 2009-2011 - a terrifying experience with sales down 70%,” he recalled.

“We were the sector that suffered the economic crisis more strongly. Fortunately, since the end of 2013 and through 2014, the trend changed.

“We have recovered fairly quickly, which has surprised even us.

Now, the market has returned to

normal and we are very happy.”

Pombriego said that after 14 months, “we had recovered about 500 jobs, considering we lost almost 1,500 with the crisis. Now, in all the Islands, we will be 7,000 workers strong.

“Ours is a highly-specialised job with people highly-educated. We are growing and creating new quality jobs.”

Fredica expects to meet Canarian Government President Fernando Clavijo soon in an effort to further boost the car industry.

“I realised the need for taxes, and the IGIC (VAT) is lower than the rest of the country,” said Pombriego.

“However, there must still be something they can do as the government plans to lower taxation during this term, in principle, by 2017.”

CW 14 UK seems safe as recession is again predicted

www.canarianweekly.com

News

THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that the world is on the brink of another recession.

But the Americanbased organisation looked favourably on UK and the US.

In its latest assessment of the global economy, the IMF cut its forecast for world economic growth this year from 3.3% to 3.1%.

It would be the lowest annual growth rate since 2009, and is just a fraction higher than the 3% level under which economists consider the world to be in recession.

The forecast change, contained in the Fund’s World Economic Outlook, is further evidence that the world is at risk of sliding towards another slump in the coming months.

The fall was sparked mainly by weaker growth in emerging economies, including China, which suffered a sharp fall in its stock market this summer.

The Fund predicted that China would grow by 6.8% this year and 6.3%, which is below Beijing’s 7% targeted growth rate.

Historically, the IMF has defined a global recession as being when gross domestic product (GDP) fails to grow by more than 3% - though successive chief economists have chosen different definitions as they

have come and gone.

Maurice Obstfeld, the IMF’s new chief economist who recently took over from Olivier Blanchard, stopped short of calling the slowdown a recession.

But he did say: “Six years after the world economy emerged from its broadest and deepest post-war recession, a return to robust and synchronised global expansion remains elusive.

“Despite considerable differences in countryspecific outlooks, the new forecasts mark down expected, nearterm growth rates marginally, but nearly across the board.”

He added: “Moreover, downside risks to the world economy appear more pronounced than they did just a few months ago.”

The Fund said the Brazilian economy would shrink at a rate of 3% this year and 1% next, and that Russia would shrink by 3.8% this year. However, it predicts that advanced economies, including the UK, will fare far better.

The Fund increased its growth forecast for the UK and the US this year by 0.1% each to 2.5% and 2.6% respectively.

“Recovery is most advanced in the United States and the United Kingdom, where monetary policy looks likely to tighten soon,” it said. “But it is more tentative in the euro area and Japan.”

The IMF also predicted that oil prices would remain low, still stuck at $55 a barrel by 2017.

The new Infant Queen of Arona

THE Gala of the Infant Queen for the Festivals of Arona saw fouryear-old Elena Martínez Santana crowned by Mayor José Julián Mena.

Arona’s new Infant Queen also has a full court of princesses, comprising Ainara Fernández Fernández, Xiomara de la Rosa Garcia, Loyda Cabrera Garcia, Cruz Trujillo Cloe, Jade Martin Delgado and Valentina Nicolino Alayón.

Competition was fierce in a gala ceremony fea-

turing various singers and choreographic groups, including a performance by María José and Mario, Tenerifian singers who appeared in the TV programme “Levántate”.

The candidates paraded a design from Sedomir Rodriguez de la Sierra, and the entire event was hosted by

singer and dancer Wycho Torres.

The jury was formed

by Elsa Alvarez, image consultant; Francisco Herrera, Mr. Guia de Isora 2013; Claudia Ribero, model; Toni Marcelino, decorator; Melany Valeriano, children’s monitor and Raul Bordon, deputy director of Siam Mall.

ISIS recruiters jailed ELEVEN people from the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta have been jailed by the country’s High Court for between 10-12 years for recruiting terrorists to fight for ISIS, the Islamic State.

It is a ground-breaking event because it is the first time a Spanish court has handed down prison sentences against jihadist recruiters operating in Spain.

The convicted terrorists, all members of

the Al Nusra Front - a branch of Al Qaeda, as well as ISIS - were arrested by police in Ceuta in 2013.

The High Court, in a 470-page ruling, concluded that the volunteers sent to Syria to fight against President Bashar al-Assad’s forces were not combatants but “terrorists”.

Among the first group of youngsters who perished after being recruited to fight there were Rachid Whabi, a 33-year-old Ceuta taxi driver; Mustafa Mohamed Layachi, known as ‘Piti’, 30; and Mustafa Mohamed, ‘Tafo’, 24.

They left behind fami-

lies, friends, homes and jobs ... and ended up dying.

The recruiters hunted for volunteers in Ceuta’s most rundown neighbourhoods of El Principe and El Sardinero.

Sources familiar with the case said the court dished out 12-year sentences to Karim Abdelsalam Mohamed, known as ‘Marquitos’, and Ismail Abdelaftif who, jointly, led the recruiting organisation selecting people for suicide missions.

Prison terms of 10 years were given to the other co-defendants for belonging to the group, who were believed to

be planning attacks in Spain.

The historic decision

by High Court Judge Concepción Espejel paves the way for future trials against other jihadist cells operating in Spain, dedicated to capturing and recruiting young people for battle in Syria and Iraq.

Of the 14 youths sent to Syria by the convicted terrorists - the majority of them from Ceuta - eight died in the fighting, mostly in suicide missions that claimed many victims.

Over the past few years, Spanish police have broken up other Islamist cells in Catalonia, Melilla and Ceuta.

For the love of charity, bring in stringent laws BRITISH Charities might be banned from certain forms of fundraising, including cold-calling or mail-shots, if they break stricter rules proposed for the sector.

A Government-commissioned review also recommended the creation of a new register to allow people to opt out of all charity contact.

It follows concerns about aggressive fundraising tactics by some charities, particularly targeting the vulnerable.

It also said the main fund-raising regulator should be scrapped.

Review leader Sir Stuart Etherington, from the National Council for Voluntary Organisations, said of the Fund-raising Standards Board (FRSB): “It really doesn’t have the clout or the sanctions to prevent bad practice.”

The heads of several

major UK charities, who appeared before MPs earlier this month, placed the bulk of the blame for improper fundraising tactics with outside agencies, working on their behalf.

Sir Stuart said charities must “carefully scrutinise what these agencies are doing” and must be prepared to accept a drop in the sum of money they raise - in the short term, at least - to improve standards.

At present, the FRSB regulates standards set by fund-raisers themselves, but the review found this to be an “inappropriate arrangement”.

Among the report’s recommendations are: *A new regulator, provisionally called the Fundraising Regulator, would have control over the rules *It would be funded by a levy on charities themselves, and all charities spending more than £100,000 a year on fundraising - about 2,000 organisations - would be expected to contribute

*It would report to a parliamentary committee *The creation of a new “fund-raising preference service”, overseen by the new regulator, which would act as a reset button for those unhappy with the number of charities contacting them *Donors would give their preferences to one body, and de-selected charities would be obliged to stop calling and mailing *Charities breaching the rules, seriously or persistently, would be named and shamed, and could be forced to halt specific methods of fundraising until problems were resolved Sir Stuart said of the new regulator: “It will be able to say to charities, ‘That fund-raising method you’re using you’re using inappropriately, and we’re going to stop you using that for a while’.”

Charities could then have to submit future fund-raising plans to the regulator before being

allowed to recommence their activities.

The regulator could also order compulsory training for fund-raisers who have not adhered to the rules; for example, by failing to follow correct procedure when dealing with vulnerable people.

Sir Stuart said: “Britain is a “tremendously generous country, but charities are not thinking hard enough about what it is like to be on the receiving end of some of their fund-raising methods.”

He added: “We have to make sure that we restore public confidence in charity.”

Two other existing regulators, the Institute of Fund-raising and Public Fund-raising Association, would merge and continue to monitor aspects of on-street and door-to-door fund-raising. But the new, overarching regulator would, ultimately, be responsible for all forms of fundraising.

The FRSB said it agreed some reform was needed, but added: “A

revamped FRSB, properly resourced, would be the most viable and costeffective way of moving forward.”

The death of Olive Cooke, Britain’s longestserving poppy-seller, put the issue of charity funding under the spotlight earlier this year, after an inquest found the 92-year-old from Bristol had received 267 charity letters in one month.

It led to suggestions that the hounding for money had pushed her to take her own life, although her family insisted the charities were not to blame.

Earlier this month, it was alleged that an 87-year-old dementia patient’s personal details were sold or passed on by charities up to 200 times, ultimately ending up with scammers.

Samuel Rae’s son, Christopher, said letters from charities filled numerous boxes at his home. He told the BBC: “I have heard some of the platitudes, but actions speak louder than words.

I think they’ve a long way to go before they step back over the line we all thought they were behind. The charities need to do more farming and less hunting.”

The Institute of Fundraising, which represents the sector, said its members wanted to see “a stronger and more robust system”.

But Steve Bell, Chief Executive of homelessness charity Changing Lives, said the overhaul should go further, with a total ban on street-collecting - or “chugging” - and doorstep cold-calling.

In July, the Government announced that charities would be forced to draw up written agreements showing how vulnerable people would be protected from aggressive fund-raising tactics, in amendments to the Charities Bill.

Rob Wilson, Minister for Civil Society, welcomed the report and said he would consider it fully.

But when?

STILL wondering whether to leave your pension in the UK, or move it so that you benefit, tax-wise, as an ex-pat? Here´s the latest update on what´s happening in the world of pensions.

United Kingdom Since April this year, if your Pension Fund is still held in the UK, most Pension Providers have introduced flexibility, in terms of access, and this is certainly proving very popular with many.

Depending on the size

9th October - 15th October 2015

Pensions’ update... of your pot, you may be able to access all of it tax free or, alternatively, access 25% tax free at the age of 55.

For non-resident expats in the Canary Islands, who intend drawing-down income benefits in the coming months, while avoiding emergency tax, we recommend you contact HMRC in advance to obtain a personal tax code and, thus, claim any personal allowances due automatically.

Please note that this process can take some time.

Malta At the moment, if your Pension Fund is held under the jurisdiction of Malta, there is no flexibility available with regards to accessing your Pension Funds early (at the age of 55 years).

However, new primary legislation has already been passed to mirror the aforementioned developments in the UK. Following discussions with the Malta Financial Services Authority, further updates and guidance are expected later this year. It is expected that most Maltese Schemes will be offering flexibility no later than 1st January 2016.

Gibraltar If your Pension Fund is held under the jurisdiction of Gibraltar, flexible access is currently under discussion with HMRC. At this stage, the 70/30 rule still applies, with drawdown subject to capped income of 150% of Government Actuary Department (GAD) rates.

Isle of Man Currently, the Isle of

Man is looking to add flexi-access to its legislation. This will be debated in the Manx Parliament this Autumn. In the meantime, the 70/30 rule still applies, with drawdown subject to 150% of GAD rates.

Guernsey If, on the other hand, your Pension Funds come under the jurisdiction of Guernsey, your ability to access flexi-drawdown may be affected by new legislation, especially if your scheme has been Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS) delisted.

If you are unsure about this, please contact us NOW so we can review your circumstances and advise how this will affect you.

Brits buy into our sunshine!

BRITONS have rediscovered the foreign property market again, following the general economic upturn, and they are targeting the Canary and Balearic Islands, especially.

That’s why they top the list of properties bought by overseas nationals in Spain.

The Colegio de Regisradores - Spain’s land

registry - reports that 19.8% of all foreign purchases in the first six months of the year were made by Brits.

With 750,000 British people officially living in Spain, the most popular places to buy a home are holiday destinations such as the Balearic Islands and the Canaries, followed

by Murcia, Andalusia and Catalunia.

Spanish property prices fell sharply during the financial crises and, coupled with an agreeable climate, a laid-back lifestyle and

a beautiful coastline, it made the country a popular place for Brits to buy a home.

Sky-high UK housing costs also provide another motive to move to sunny Spain. In London, the average house price is £513,000 according to the UK’s Office of National statistic, almost 40% above the peak prices before the financial crisis.

Brits aged 55-64 are the most active, with 43% of them making inquiries, followed by those aged 45-54 (31%)

according to British real estate website Rightmove.

Although many moved to Spain to enjoy the sunshine for a bargain price, they also enjoyed greater purchasing power - and they are also aggressive buyers of luxury property.

Research carried out by leading overseas property broker Tranio.com shows they are often the ones who choose houses or villas priced at 800,000 euros and above in the best Madrid neighbourhoods.

Lloyds Bank shares’ bonus for the public SHARES in Lloyds Banking Group, worth at least £2bn, will be offered to the public next year, with all proceeds going towards reducing the national debt.

The Treasury has announced that the public, who will get a 5% discount on the market price, will receive a bonus share for every 10 if they hold on to their investment for more than a year. Applications can be made online and by post.

And to avoid wealthier investors snapping up the shares, anyone applying for less than £1,000 will be prioritised.

The sale, planned for next spring, is the latest phase of the Government’s drive to exit from its shareholding in the Lloyds banking group in the coming months. British Chan-

cellor George Osborne told Sky News: “We’ve got a big task here, which is to finally get the British Government out of owning great chunks of our banking system.

“We’ve made a lot of progress with Lloyd’s, but this final chunk, this final sale, will be the biggest privatisation in over 20 years, and I don’t want all of those shares to go to City institutions. I want them to go to members of the public.”

More than £20bn in taxpayers’ money was pumped into Lloyds in a bid to prop up the bank at the height of the global financial crisis.

The Government has been gradually selling off shares to institutional investors, but next year’s sale will be the first chance for the general public to get a slice of the action.

Canarians not so clothes-conscious THE Canary Islands spends the least amount of money on clothes every year just 400 euros on average, according to the EAE Business School’s 2015 report.

In the accumulated total-spending by region, the Canaries placed in mid-table, with 851 million euros

in 2014. But when this is divided by the population, we are bottom of the table.

Cataluña, Andalucia, Madrid, Valencia and Galicia are the big shoppers, while Ceuta, Melilla, La Rioja, Cantabria, Navarra and Extremadura are like the Canarians.

Housing sales rocket HOME sales in Spain rose 24.2% in August, compared with the corresponding month last year - a total of 29,369 transactions.

The figure was confirmed this week by the National Statistics Institute (INE), which recorded that the August growth was 10.3 points higher than experienced in July.

The excellent August results means that housing sales have now shown 12 consecutive months of annual increases.

In the first eight months of the year, housing sales rose 12%, and most of these sales concerned vacant properties. In fact, 90.5% were free housing, the sales of which increased by 24.5%, year on year.

Every region of Spain saw 12-month, year-onyear increases in the number of sales, with the exception of Castilla and Leon (-0.5%).

According to the INE, the number of purchases of rural properties rose 11.2% in August, year on year.

Stand up 2 cancer

Don't Miss...

Friday 9th October, Channel 4, from 20.00 20:00 The Last Leg - Su2c Special.

Following a hugely successful sixth series this summer, the award-winning show returns for a one-off Stand Up To Cancer Special. Adam Hills and co-hosts Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker tear into the week’s main talking points while raising awareness of SU2C and the life-changing work of Cancer Research UK. The team are joined in the studio by some very special celebrity guests and a live studio audience.

21:00 Gogglebox - Su2c Special.

Gogglebox offers sharp, insightful, funny and sometimes emotional critiques of popular and topical TV shows, sparking debates and giving the audience the chance to share those ‘we said that!’ moments. Last year’s Gogglebox Stand Up To Cancer special featured cameos from Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Noel Gallagher. This year’s celebrity guests remain a tightly guarded secret.

22:00 Alan Carr: Chatty Man - Su2c Special.

This week’s Chatty Man is a Stand Up To Cancer special in which Alan raises awareness for Stand Up To Cancer and Cancer Research UK’s joint national fundraising campaign, which last year raised over £15.5 million, funding research to save lives across the UK. Alan supports the cause with some very special guests joining him for more shenanigans. The Great British Bake Off host Sue Perkins chats about her new autobiography Spectacles. This Is England ‘90 star Thomas Turgoose returns to honour his bet from the first show to have Alan Carr’s name tattooed on his bum if £5000 is raised for SU2C. Music comes from 5 Seconds of Summer who perform their new single Hey Everybody! live in the studio.

23:05 First Dates - Su2c Special.

The First Dates restaurant welcomes hopeful singletons from across the country, with maître-d’ Fred and his team oiling the wheels of romance. Lucy is a part-time nanny and part-time weightlifter who’s hoping to strike gold in the First Dates restaurant. Her luck may be in when charity administrator Caroline arrives. Caroline’s confession that she ‘may not play things cool when it comes to dating’ is immediately put to the test when Lucy accidentally rips her top in front of a packed restaurant. After a quick intervention from knight in shining armour Fred, the date is back on track and the chemistry builds. Will Lucy take the plunge with Caroline? Unlucky in love and struggling to find a date, Lachlan craves a girl who will ‘accept me for the nerd I am’.

Patagonia: Earth’s Secret Paradise BBC2, 21.30

Narrated by Santiago Cabrera, the last of this three-part series uncovers the magnificent coastline of Patagonia, where the Pacific and south Atlantic meet the great southern Ocean.

From Cape Horn to the northern desert, episode 3 - Life On The Edge - follows the bountiful and treacherous seas surrounding this bizarre, beautiful and rarely seen part of the world.

The remote Island of Los Estados is the last stand of the Andes mountains before they disappear beneath the sea. Against this brooding backdrop, we witness stoic rock hopper penguins as they battle the mighty seas of Cape Horn to bring back food for their chicks, and escape the sea lions who count them as prey.

In other compelling footage the true complexity of orca hunting is revealed, as they ram-raid the shingle beaches to take sea lion pups.

Swimming sideways to conceal their fins, testing the strength of the waves and always keeping the younger orcas in tow, the mother teaches her own young this sophisticated hunting technique.

With Patagonia’s dramatic landscapes and challenging climate, the animals here can seem out of place; with Southern Elephant seals that breed in a desert, the biggest colony of parrots in the world that nest in sea cliffs, and giant kelp forests that shelter a magical host of creatures in the maze of glacier fed fjords.

We also meet the fishermen who travel to seek the riches of the far south in the most southerly permanent settlement on earth, Puerto Turo.

These shores are not for the faint hearted.

Ted Hughes - Stronger Than Death BBC2, 21.00

Featuring the first television interview with Frieda Hughes poet, artist and daughter of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Path - alongside a rich seam of testimony from family members, friends, fellow poets and writers, this film will illuminate one of the 20th century’s most controversial and elusive cultural figures and focus on how his life story shaped his vision as a poet.

Hughes’ stature as a poet of huge significance is incontrovertible, yet so often during his lifetime attention was focused on the turbulent events in his personal life.

Love and work collided with tragic consequences during his marriage to Sylvia Plath and he was forced to weather a storm of speculation over her suicide and that of his lover Assia Wevill. Yet as the film will show, the interconnection between life and creativity was at the heart of Hughes’ evolution as a poet.

Sir Alex Ferguson: Secrets Of Success

9th October - 15th October 2015

S unday

BBC1, 22.30

Sir Alex Ferguson is one of the most successful leaders this country has ever produced.

He was the mastermind of one of Britain’s leading brands. Not a soft drink or a smart phone, but a football club: Manchester United.

During his 26 years as manager of Manchester United Football Club, Sir Alex transformed it into a multi-million pound global business, picking up every single domestic trophy there is in football along the way – many times.

In this one-off programme, the BBC’s political editor for the past decade, Nick Robinson, will get up close and personal with Sir Alex and uncover the secrets of his success. Sir Alex will share his unique insights on leadership that speak to everyone, revealing how he stayed at the top of his profession for so long and crucially how best to motivate, discipline and inspire people. Viewers will discover not only how he turned United into a team of champions but how he kept them at the top and what skills he deployed. Sir Alex will also reflect on the nature of legacy and life after leaving the stage with Manchester United, and how, through his relationships with eminent figures outside football and his teaching, his approach to leadership has found resonance beyond the world of football. The programme will feature contributions from leading figures in business, politics, military and sport including Cristiano Ronaldo, Tony Blair, General Sir Michael Jackson, Lord Sugar, Ryan Giggs, Rio Ferdinand, Sir Michael Moritz, Jose Mourinho and Professor Anita Elberse.

Earth’s Wildest Waters - The Big Fish BBC2, 20.00 Presented by Ben Fogle, Earth’s Wildest Waters – The Big Fish will see the anglers face extreme temperatures, violent storms and raging currents, as they battle to impress fishing legend Matt Hayes and an expert from each country, who will decide which angler heads home each week.

Eight British anglers will embark on a worldwide expedition, testing everything they know about fishing as they visit six countries in pursuit of extraordinary fish in the wildest places.

Their first expedition is to the wilderness of Iceland, where the eight anglers brave extreme cold, wind and rain to fish in some of the most challenging conditions they have ever faced.

Judge Matt Hayes is partnered with Vala, an Icelandic fishing expert who will help him judge the intrepid eight over their first three fishing tasks. Their initial test of endurance will be to fish in the frozen fjord for as many species as possible in just three hours… but this must all be done from a kayak on the freezing water. Ben Fogle helps them through their ordeal, learning about fishing along the way. Whoever wins this task gets the chance to choose their team for the next part of the expedition.

On day two, the anglers must swap sport fishing for commercial fishing. Working in teams, the anglers will be fishing for cod the traditional way, using the sustainable quotas Iceland is known for.

For their third and final test, the anglers journey south to Iceland’s largest lake, Thingvillr. Heated by geothermal activity, the unique conditions have created some of the largest brown trout in the world.

The anglers battle the elements, and each other, to catch the biggest brown trout they can.

Clips of people spinning inefficiently while they cradle petrol-powered garden equipment get Tim thinking. He decides to refine the system, build a world-beating swivel chair, and put Buddy on it. The maverick engineer doubles the number of engines and creates a low-friction, fast-rotating monster that will totally challenge Buddy.

From Darkness BBC1, 21.00

The discovery of a new victim carries a haunting message for Claire – her old shoulder number left on the body.

It can’t be dismissed as coincidence; someone wants Claire’s attention. She can’t run any longer.

Claire must return to Manchester and work alongside John.

John is invigorated by Claire’s presence, desperate to use the investigation to reignite old flames, but not everyone is so happy. Norrie already feels as if Claire is slipping away from him as more secrets from Claire’s past emerge.

Eventually, as tensions rise between them, the personal and professional collide for John and Claire as she makes a confession which derails John.

As Claire is drawn into the task of IDing the bodies, her desire for justice supersedes her fear of violence. She strives to persuade the Fenton family to help identify their daughter, Mimi, one of the possible victims.

Jimmy Doherty, Kate Quilton and Matt Tebbutt reveal more secrets of the food that we eat.

In Ghana, Kate learns that pineapples contain a special enzyme that attacks and destroys dead skin cells in your mouth.

Scientists have recently found a ground-breaking new use for this enzyme; treating the victims of burns. Back in the UK, Kate meets a former soldier whose horrific injuries are being healed with pineapple extract at the Queen Victoria Hospital in West Sussex.

Meanwhile, Jimmy wants to uncover the secret of how they put the bubbles in some of our favourite chocolate bars, and investigates whether the bubbles actually improve the ‘mouth feel’ of the choc.

And Matt asks if there’s any truth in the old wives’ tale that we should never eat mussels when there’s not an ‘R’ in the month.

Harvest 2015 BBC2, 20.00

Returning for a second series, Harvest 2015 follows the fortunes of Britain’s top farmers as they battle to bring in our harvest this year.

Gregg Wallace, Philippa Forester and new presenter James Manning cross the country to visit farms that produce world-class crops, meeting Britain’s most innovative and pioneering producers, during a crucial time of year for the farmers, the food industry, and everyday consumers.

In the first episode, the team report from the East, where pioneering sweetcorn farmer Peter Barfoot has spent decades turning exotic veg into regular British fridge fillers, growing vegetables that many thought couldn’t be grown here in Britain. The East region’s sunny climate has earned it the reputation as the breadbasket of Britain.

Also in this episode, Gregg helps out with the winter sugar beet harvest and reveals just how much sugar is produced from our home soil.

Meanwhile Philippa finds chillies so hot they need a health warning, and visits the Tiptree strawberry fields to try a sweet treat, used for making a special jam that sells all over the world.

Dairy farmer and new Harvest presenter James then visits a futuristic lettuce farm controlled by robots, to find a cutting-edge drilling machine that plants seedlings faster than the eye can see.

River BBC1, 21.00

John River is a respected police officer, haunted by the murder victims whose secrets he must uncover.

Struggling to come to terms with the recent loss of a close colleague, River chases a potential suspect across London, with tragic consequences.

Calls for his dismissal grow due to his fragile mental state, and under intense scrutiny from the press and within the police force, River must battle to keep his condition in check.

Meanwhile, the mother of a murdered teenager Erin Fielding is growing increasingly desperate the boyfriend has confessed but no body has been found, and she blames River for failing to make good on his promise to find her daughter.

Brett: A Life With No Arms BBC 1, 22.35

Brett Nielsen is a man for all seasons: sports car enthusiast, record producer, musician, entrepreneur, a loving single father to two kids, with three ex-wives - and in love again. He happens to have no arms because of Thalidomide, taken by his mother in the early Sixties to counteract the effects of morning sickness.

Filmmaker Roger Graef’s first documentary, One Of Them Is Brett, was made 50 years ago. It was a portrait of Brett as a spirited four year-old - riding a bicycle, feeding himself, fighting his brothers with his feet. His parents, Barbara and Peter Nielsen, moved from Australia to Britain to get him prosthetic arms – which Brett immediately rejected. And it stayed that way.

The film was for reluctant head teachers of infants’ schools to see that children who lack limbs still have brains. Shown on networks around the world, it went into the medical school curriculum. It showed children like Brett were not just medical problems, they were rounded human beings.

Fifty years later, Roger has tracked down Brett. This follow-up film is about Brett’s life leading up to their reunion. His optimism and humour has remained undimmed. And it is a moving and engaging love story.

Following his mother’s death, Brett plans to move his 84-year-old father, Peter, from Sydney to live with him, in an emotionally charged reversal of roles.

Brett is also releasing a new CD of his songs, and making music videos. One is a protest against the makers of Thalidomide, the German firm Grunenthal.

After 50 years of avoiding being seen as a victim, Brett wants to take them on because he believes what they’ve done is wrong. This is an inspiring portrait of an extraordinary ordinary man.

The Apprentice BBC1, 21:00

The search for Lord Sugar’s next business partner has begun, and the process is tougher than ever. Ready to fight for his funding, the aspiring entrepreneurs are summoned to his boardroom where Lord Sugar reveals a new right-hand man - fiercesome businessman Claude Littner. The candidates are sent off on their first task, rising early to buy fish at Billingsgate Fish Market. The aim - to turn it into two products they can sell on to hungry Londoners. Chaos in the kitchen throws one team into disarray, whilst the other has a calamari crisis. Trying to maximise sales, each team pounds the pavements. One team targets affluent city workers whilst the other takes on tourists in Camden - and one candidate has such a unique selling style that even a surprised Baroness Brady has to admit she’s learnt something new. In the boardroom, the candidates are left in no doubt as to just how unforgiving the process is, and someone is the first to hear the words ‘You’re Fired!’.

Alexander Armstrong In The Land Of The Midnight Sun ITV1, 21.00

Alexander’s voyage begins in Scandinavia, before he heads westwards into Iceland and Greenland, through Canada and Alaska and finishing on the international dateline that divides the continents of North America and Alaska. He witnesses the world’s most stunning natural wonders and finds out why the far north has such a magnetic lure for its extraordinary inhabitants, in a challenging adventure in which he needs to survive wildly unpredictable weather and temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius.

In episode one, Alexander’s odyssey begins in Scandinavia, as he flies into Northern Norway on a light aircraft towards Bodo, ten miles north of the Arctic Circle. His pilot John decides to let him lose on the controls for his first ever flying lesson, before they land at Bodo to catch the day’s only ferry to the Lofoten Islands.

The Almost Impossible Game Show ITV2, 21.00

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

And again, and again, and again, and again…

What’s funnier than watching a contestant fall over once? Watching them fall over 10 times while wearing Lycra!

Welcome to The Almost Impossible Game Show – the comedy game show that’s so hard to beat, contestants are given 50 lives... and they probably still won’t win!

In each episode of this absurd new series, ten brave contestants pit themselves against The Almost Impossible Game Show’s incredibly simple yet hilariously difficult games.

Comedy duo The Rubber Bandits provide anarchic commentary and their own twisted, surreal take on the action as the increasingly bedraggled contestants make their way through the show.

Our highly sophisticated games include riding a tiny bike at speed along a very narrow beam, shaking Velcro croissants off a Velcro bodysuit and putting on a pair of trousers while sprinting on a treadmill.

These dastardly physical challenges are so swear-bleepingly, bum-bruisingly, face-slappingly tricky that contestants are given 50 attempts to complete just 5 of them. If they fail a game, they’ve got to do it again… and again… and again…

But if they succeed at this Almost Impossible task and beat the show they’ll return home covered in glory! And mud.

In Hunted, 14 British citizens are given fugitive status and go on the run. For up to 28 days they must evade capture by a crack team of investigators, including experts in human tracking, cyber analysis, covert surveillance and psychological profiling. So far the hunters have tracked down 10 fugitives - only four remain at large. In this dramatic final episode the last remaining fugitives must reach a pre-arranged ‘extraction point’ to evade capture once and for all.

But with seven days to go the hunters are ramping up their efforts to find them. Stephen and Martin have so far avoided detection by travelling along canal towpaths and communicating to their loved ones by cloaking their presence on the internet. They finally ping onto the hunters’ radar when they use a cashpoint. Following the CCTV trail, the hunters finally understand how the pair have evaded them for so long.

By Val Sainsbury THE intriguing mystery of why some people appear to have healthy lungs, despite a lifetime of smoking, has been explained by UK scientists.

An analysis of more than 50,000 people showed favourable mutations in people’s DNA enhanced lung function and masked the deadly impact of smoking.

The Medical Research Council scientists say the findings could lead to new drugs to improve lung function.

But not smoking will always be the best option, they stress.

Many smokers - but not all - will develop lung disease. But so, too, will some who have never touched a cigarette.

The researchers analysed the huge volume of health and genetic data from volunteers to the UK’s Biobank project.

They looked at Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which leads to breathlessness, coughing and repeat chest infections.

The condition is thought to affect three million people in the UK and includes diseases such as bronchitis and emphysema.

By comparing smokers and non-smokers, as well as those with and without the disease, they discovered sections of our DNA that reduce the risk of COPD. So smokers with “good genes” had a lower risk of COPD than those with “bad genes”.

Professor Martin Tobin, one of the researchers at the University of Leicester, said the genes seemed to affect the way the lungs grow and respond to injury.

But he told the BBC News website: “There doesn’t appear to be any kind of magic bullet that would give an-

9th October - 15th October 2015

Solved...the mystery of smokers’ healthy lungs

yone guaranteed protection against tobacco smoke. They would still have lungs that were unhealthier than they would be had they been a non-smoker.

“The strongest thing people can do to affect their future health in terms of COPD, and also smoking-related disease like cancer and heart disease, is to stop smoking.”

The habit also increases the risk of heart disease and cancers, which are not considered in this study.

The scientists also uncovered parts of the genetic code which were more common in smokers than nonsmokers.

They seem to alter the brain’s function and how easily someone can become addicted to nicotine, although that still needs to be confirmed.

Prof Tobin said the findings offered “fantastic new clues about how the body works that we really had little idea about before.

And it’s those things that are likely to lead to some really exciting breakthroughs for drug development.”

Their findings were

presented at a meeting of the European Respiratory Society and published in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal.

Ian Jarrold, head of research at the British Lung Foundation, said: “These findings represent a significant step forward in helping us achieve a clearer picture about the fascinating and intricate reality of lung health.

“Understanding genetic predisposition is essential, not only in helping us develop new treatments for people with lung disease, but also in teaching otherwise healthy people how to better take care of their lungs.”

POWER FRINGES

By Carl Pattison

YOU can hide behind them, swish them or flick them. They come in all shapes and sizes,and there’s always one to suit the shape of your face.

I’m talking FRINGES, and they are used to disguise foreheads large and small, cover unmentionable lines we don’t want to see, flatter a face shape or bring out your eyes.

Fringes never go out of fashion, and they complement most haircuts and faces. If you’ve never taken the plunge, there’s no time like the present. Even on shorter hair they take a regular haircut from Average to Wow! in minutes.

It all depends on which you choose, and whether it’s going to complement you and your chosen style. Opt for a fuller fringe if your face is rounded because

it detracts from it and can slim it down.

Take care, though, if you have a smaller forehead, because it can drown you. Don’t try this type of fringe if your face is very thin as it can “draw” your face in. This face shape suits a more wispier or side-fringe to “open up” this face.

Heavy, side-swept fringes suit broader foreheads as they create an illusion of slimming down the face. This also looks good on narrow foreheads, but only if it’s kept away from the eye as it can overbear the forehead as well.

If you opt for a full fringe, it can be high maintenance because it must be kept above the eye and needs attention every three weeks.

This type of fringe re-

ally draws attention to the eyes and is quite dramatic, so it isn’t for everyone.

A side-fringe is easy to create and even easier to grow out. It is versatile and can be worn in various ways. On shorter hair, the options are even greater because putting in a fringe is easily changed when you get bored with it. That’s because it doesn’t use up too much of your hair, say, if it were longer.

Whichever fringe style you select, make sure to consult your stylists for their opinions - and never try to put one in yourself!

We make it look easy but, trust me, if you get it wrong, you could have a look of permanent surprise - for weeks!

Raise your glass to such a grape time!

THE cellar is filled with a tart aroma of juicy grapes, oozing under the increasing pressure of the prensa (an authentic wooden wine press).

A warm, delicious, ruby-red juice slithers out from underneath the tightly-packed fruit mound and cascades into the estanque (reservoir), where it will be transferred into barrels and left to ferment before it can finally be enjoyed next February.

It’s a sunny, humid Tuesday morning at Guachinche Los Gomez, in the Orotava Valley, and I’ve just concluded my first vendimia (wine harvest) experience.

The previous Friday, I was the only Brit among 24 local harvest veterans, carefully gathering in the best grapes from the surrounding 30,000sq.m vineyards.

In exchange for our back-breaking efforts, we enjoyed an incredibly warm, sociable at-

mosphere - and a generous quantity of wine and paella from nine in the morning.

It used to be said that Agosto, el mes del mosto (August, the month of grape juice) was the time of year for grape harvest. But climate changes now mean la vendimia takes place from mid-September to early October.

Jesus Gonzalez and his brother, Juan, assure me that the 5,000 litres of wine harvested this year is of excellent standard.

Indeed, I’m sampling a

glass of last year’s harvest as we sit down together for a well-earned almuerzo (lunch).

And it’s a perfect accompaniment to the tasty, home-cooked potaje de pollo y millo (chicken and corn on the cob broth) just served up by Aida, the talented Cuban cook.

Since the 17th century, Tenerife farmers have been establishing these wonderful, traditional restaurants, known as guachinches, usually found in isolated countryside locations.

There are over 200 of

them in the Valle de la Orotava area alone and, besides water, only an authentic guachinche is allowed to serve wine. The house wine, of course. And, no more wine means an end of the business season if the Canarian authorities come along.

So, next time you find yourself at Guachinche Los Gomez ordering your cuarta, media or litro of vino tinto, think of the hard toil spent picking and pressing your grapes ... and raise a glass to the wine harvesters of 2015!

The Swan bar and restaurant, Los Cristianos

Home-cooked, and so tasty IF you want an excellent homecooked meal, you must visit The Swan in Los Cristianos. We popped in for lunch and were greeted with a warm welcome.

Head waitress Amanda, originally from Glasgow, and Tim, the head chef from Burnley, made us feel right at home, and we could see they were both very popular with our fellow-diners.

We ordered drinks while deciding on what we fancied from the extensive menu and Specials of the Day, and chatted at the same time with the bubbly Amanda.

The Swan is owned by Angela, supported by her son, Anthony.

We decided to share the mixed platter as it was just too big for one

person! This included beer-battered chicken goujons (you could actually taste the beer), battered mushrooms, onion rings, samosas

and potato wedges, all accompanied by dips of barbecue, garlic mayo and sweet chilli. All delicious and quite a lot for two people, let

alone one! A break was needed after this initial feast, which gave us time for another chat with Amanda and Tim while pondering

over the choice of main course.

I decided on the homemade quiche - ideal for vegetarians as it was made up of cheese, tomato and mushroom, accompanied by home-made chips and lots of salad.

And it was absolutely delicious.

My work colleague felt the same after choosing the belly pork, crispy slices with a sweet, creamy cider sauce and

a selection of fresh veg.

The Swan is situated in the Parque Margarita complex in Los Cristianos, opposite the Cristian Sur apartments.

It is an excellent restaurant, complete with excellent, homecooked food, provided by an excellent chef, and a visit is highly-recommended.

Thanks to Tim and Amanda for making us feel so welcome.

Metabolism: saint or sinner?

By Nico Gil

of Activate Sports Club

I FEEL quite sorry for poor old metabolism because, so often, it gets the blame for unwanted weight gain, or a failure to slim down.

But few of us really understand what it is, how it’s determined and what we can do - if anything - to change it.

Let me try to solve the mystery surrounding metabolism by focusing on the most common four lies we’ve all been told, and the truth behind them: Lie No.1: Metabolism is all about burning calories Truth: Metabolism is a word used generally, but it actually refers to everything the body does to keep us alive. We all have a different BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), which depends on gender, height, genetics and weight, etc.

The BMR tells us the amount of energy (calories) our body needs each day - even if we stay in bed the whole time - to perform basic functions such as breathing, musclecontraction, brainfunction, digestion and cell-growth, plus repair and blood-circulation.

You can calculate yours approximately here: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ There are two parts to metabolism - Catabolism and Anabolism - and both are equally important for our health.

Catabolism, the breaking down of chemical bonds to release energy in the form of calories, is best-known of the two, and what most people think of when they hear “metabolism”.

But anabolism (building up things) is also essential. This is where energy, in the form of chemical bonds (like fats and carbohydrates), is stored away for later use.

Metabolism, when it works correctly, is an extremely delicate balance of both functions.

Lie No.2: We have no control over our metabolism Truth: We don’t have much, but we do have some. There isn’t a lot we can do about our genetically-predetermined basal metabolism, but we can all control: *What we put into our mouth *The amount of exercise we do; therefore, controlling the total number of calories we burn. Common, easy ways to increase our calorific expenditure (how much we burn) include: taking regular aerobic exercise (walking, swimming); small lifestyle changes, like walking up the stairs instead of taking the lift wherever possible; getting enough sleep; drinking coffee (caffeine speeds up metabolism) and incorporating strength/weighttraining into your fitness programme. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn.

Lie No.3: “I’m overweight because I have a slow metabolism”

Truth: This might hurt, but I’m sorry to say that you’re probably overweight because you eat too much of the wrong foods and/or exercise too little.

A slow metabolism is rarely to blame for weight-gain, or failure to slim down. It’s your food and drink choices (as well as quantity of intake) and the level of physical activity in your life that will, ultimately, determine your weight.

Lie No.4: Thin people have a higher metabolism Truth: Though it’s easy to jump to the conclusion that thinner people must have a superfast metabolism, even though they can, seemingly, eat whatever they want without gaining weight. But that isn’t the case.

In fact, slim people probably have a slower-resting metabolism, which, when you think about it, makes sense.

There is less of them to burn when at rest, while the energy a body needs to carry around a 150kg person is considerably more than it requires to carry a 60kg person.

Also, it depends a lot on body composition.

Studies prove that in two people weighing exactly the same, one with more fat and one with more muscle, the person with more muscle will have a faster metabolism.

roamer aradise decided to give him a chance. He spent the obligatory time at the refuge while his owner was sought, via the poor dog’s microchip, to no avail.

So last week, he was collected from the refuge and has started, finally, enjoy his new life.

It is obvious he is very happy and has settled in extremely well.

We are so happy for both of them in their latter years to enjoy their time together.

Dog-walking?

Please visit the refuge if you have any spare time and would like to walk one or two of the dogs. There is always a dog or two waiting for some TLC. Or contact us if you are interested in adopting one of our many dogs, old and

young. No adoption fee is charged, but donations are welcomed towards the escalating costs of the refuge.

Also, we are always in need of blankets, towels, dog leads, collars and puppy milk, if you have any to spare.

Opening hours We are open to the public on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 2-5pm, and on Saturdays from 1-4pm.

The refuge is closed Wednesdays, Sundays and on Public Holidays.

Where to find us The refuge is situated at Granadilla’s Industrial Estate, Exit 51 on the TF1, directly next to ITER, the ecological park which houses the windmills.

San Miguel Lions news

Ainara gets a a big lift AS part of our pledge to offer help in the community, we got to know a wheelchair-bound girl called Ainara Vera three years ago when she was 11.

Ainara suffers cerebral palsy and needs further treatment at Spain’s University Hospital of Navarra, in Pamplona, pending further operations.

Since our introduction to this spirited youngster, we have tried to help the family as much as we can, along with local charities, through Ainara’s mother, Macu.

Lions Club members have taken part in fund-raising events organised by Macu, and we also assisted with the purchase of a specially-built wheelchair and a lifting

frame. And we have had the pleasure of donating towards the latest project, which Club members went to see at her house.

It is an electronic car seat that turns and extends out of the car to fit on a wheelchair base - and it’s fantastic!

Ainara is now too heavy for her mother to lift, so this has enabled the family to go out, and Macu can now take her daughter to her various appointments.

After our partial summer break, San Miguel Lions are now back fund-raising for many other deserving causes.

Our charity shop, in “The Dip” at Costa del Silencio, is open weekdays, from 10am to 2pm as usual. And our auctions still take place on the first Friday of every month, the next being on 6th November.

Cats Welfare News

Thinking of adopting?

IF you are considering adopting a cat or kitten, please consider coming to us because we have lots waiting for homes.

It is a sad fact that many hundreds are born, abandoned or found wandering the streets of Tenerife every year. If we can’t find their original owner, or it’s clear they never had one, then we do our best to find new homes for them.

Whether it be a small kitten, a young adult or even a senior cat, we are more than likely to have the furry companion for you. All adult cats are neutered prior to adoption, and kittens can be neutered at any of the vet practices we use at a discount as a thank-you for adopting.

There is no adoption fee, but we do ask you to sign a contract of care. Call or WhatsApp 686 719 604 (between 6-8pm any evening), for more information or to ask questions.

All cats and kittens go on a week’s trial, to give you a chance to be sure you have made the right decision.

New way to donate We now have a brandnew way of collecting donations. For just one euro a month, you can join our group of “Teamers”. Sign up to this new group and a euro will be donated from your designated account at the beginning of each month.

We hope this small sum will attract more people who may not be in a position to donate more, yet still want to help our cause. It’s simple to do and takes just a couple of minutes.

Please join because it will give us a regular income and mean that we can plan more effectively the work we can commit to each month.

Website has lift-off This week sees the

launch of our brandnew website. Visit www. cats-welfare -tenerife. com to view our new site. It has lots of information about fostering, cats welfare news, advice and how to donate.

It also has all our cats and kittens available for adoption, and it is updated daily.

Our charity shop Want to meet new friends and help the animals at the same time?

We are looking for more volunteers to work in our charity shop in San Blas, on Golf del Sur. It is our main source of income, so we really need to make sure it’s open as much as we can.

And that means people prepared to help out.

We ask volunteers to be able to do just two

shifts a week, from 10am-2pm, or 2-6pm.

The shop is open seven days a week, so there are lots of days from which to choose.

Call or WhatsApp 686 719 604 (between 6-8pm any evening) to ask questions or express a no-obligation interest.

If you have large items in good condition to donate, in our bid to raise money, we have a large van which can take them away free of charge. Call Mark on 636 590 557 and he will be happy to arrange a convenient time to collect.

If you are having a clear-out and would like to donate good-quality, smaller items and clothing, please pop them into the shop or message us at info@catswelfare -tenerife.com and we will arrange collection.

Our shop has so many bargains that are not to be missed. We stock excellent quality clothes from size 6 right up to 28 - and everything inbetween! There’s also lots of choice for men and a good selection of children’s clothes, along with Shoes, Books, DVDS, Jewellery, Ornaments and so much more.

Lifestyle

By Vanessa Vee IT has been a long old summer, with the children having a three-month holiday, virtually, yet finances don´t allow for daily experiences and attractions.

So, always the one who doesn´t want to suffer cabin fever, I decided we could have fun days out for next to nothing by having picnics.

Once I started, we were jaunting off, sometimes twice a week!

From the excitement of the run-up to the day, the preparation of the food, to where we were going, it kept our attention focused.

Home-made scotch eggs, the compulsory butties, fruit, crisps, baguettes and plenty of fluids - the lot!

Our Island is peppered with “Zonas Recreativas”, or picnic areas, as they are better known to us. We simply stuck a pin in a map of Tenerife to determine

9th October - 15th October 2015

Our pleasure, and it’s free! our destination. And believe me, there are so many amazing destinations, both rural and, literally, dozens of purpose-built areas.

For those of you who don´t want to bother with the groundwork of making sandwiches, etc, take advantage of the barbecues available for use, completely free. Be warned, though - weekends especially - you need to “bagsy” your spot.

It’s an absolute pleasure to see families and friends come together, bringing back many memories for me when, as a child, we had picnics, and the football and rounders bats came out.

It’s exactly the same today, except there’s not an electrical device in sight. And at most of the areas, especially the ones high up, you could struggle to get a signal on a phone or

tablet anyway!

So you actually see people having conversations, playing, laughing and appreciating each other.

Lots of areas tend to have a park area, too, and it’s a joy to watch all the children playing together, having the freedom to run around to their hearts content in complete safety.

Here are a few of my favourites so far, although I know there

are a lot more out there for us to stumble across.

One of the largest discoveries is the huge area up in Guia de Isora, in a place called Chio. Arrive late afternoon and it’s quite possible you’d still manage to find an empty table there. Okay, I’m clearly exaggerating, but you get my drift.

There are rustic tables in endless forest, set in the red, volcanic earth of Teide National Park, with awesome views of La Gomera and La Palma. And just a barbecued sausagethrow from the Chinyero walking trail.

The closest I´ve found in the South is at nearby La Camella. Take the left turn at the mini-roundabout when travelling from Chayofa and it’s just up and round the corner.

The only downside is that if travelling from the South resorts, there aren’t so many

view points on the journey up there.

The beautiful Santiago del Teide is probably one of my favourites.

The tables and benches there congregate in the shade of eucalyptus trees, opposite the fabulous Casa del Patio in one of the most picturesque villages in Tenerife.

And the best part of all is that you don’t even need a picnic to enjoy it - the little kiosk serves everything from burgers to beer. I also love the journey here as I am still enjoying the new highway.

The list can go on and on, and I am sure we all have our own hidden gems. But it now tends to be at the forefront of my mind, wherever I am travelling, to keep a look out for my next visit.

So dust off that cool box, stick a pin in the map on your next free day … and enjoy!

You’re all wrapped up

By Carl Pattison

NO matter whether you live here permanently or come and go, as some do, you will need a jacket at some stage.

Even on the Island, as we bake into November, all eyes are set on keeping warm in our winter months.

And as you wander out to find that jacket you’ve been itching to buy, what are the rules for buying that

special item you won’t just be wearing this year?

That’s the clue, actually. Your jacket will be an item you bring out for a few winters to come, so don’t rush into buying the first hot item you see.

It has to combine with your winter wardrobe, and not only be suitable for here but any trips you may take to colder climates.

Gilets are excellent for layering-up with as they can be worn over other jackets and sweaters. There

are some good mohair ones around, in keeping with the Seventies’ vibe that’s around at the moment.

Or you could opt for a timeless leather/pleather number, which will grace your wardrobe for years,if you choose wisely.

Animal print never dates and looks good with a multitude of colours from your winter collection. And, if worn with the right accessories, it looks expensive - even if its not.

If you need to wrap

up warm this season, then opting for a new jacket will give your whole attire a new slant.

Remember when purchasing that you’ll be wearing it with layers underneath, so bear this in mind as you try it on with just a T-shirt.

This season it’s any shape, from fitted and chic to bo-ho and flared. The choice is yours when you wrap up.

Tenerife make... and take a point Almeria 2 CD Tenerife 2

AN away point at Almeria would always be perfectly acceptable, but Tenerife left the mainland with some else.

Respect.

This fine point and performance made it three games without a loss to banish memories of a winless first five matches at the start of the season. It’s clear to see that something has clicked.

Something has changed. Maybe it was a determination to save coach Raul Agne.

Make no mistake, he would have been fired two weeks ago but for a win in Llagostera.

The subsequent dismantling of Mirandes was nicely followed up by matching Almeria.

A glance at the table suggests the hosts have not exactly hit the ground running after relegation from La Liga. But they will still be at the top in June.

And Tenerife gave them a real game. A lovely early goal from Nano - watch the youngster improve now he is in the goals column - was dovetailed Position

by a very late Tenerife equaliser. Okay, it was an own-goal, but Alberto, another kid finding his feet, had given an OG to Almeria.

Nano was delighted with his goal, saying: “I’m happy because the coach gave me the confidence to go out and prove that I can play and I’m very happy about it. I look forward to getting more goals and prove that I can be here at this level.”

He has certainly showed glimpses of his talent. And Agne is pleased as well. “It was Points

PLD

Won

an excellent point and performance,” he said.

“Without Lozano, we had to do something a little different and we had success.”

There is no doubt the team are heading in the right direction, although Tenerife fans have seen plenty of false dawns. A glance at the table shows you how much easier on the eye we are. Only Numancia have scored more, but only Almeria have let in more! But that’s a freak stat. Take away the opening day, when we let in six at Draw Lost

Numancia, and our defence looks better.

When he took the job, Raul Agne said he wanted to be more attacking than previous boss Alvaro Cervera.

There is no doubt that has happened, even if it has taken a few months for this message to sink in.

The results of the last few weeks have the squad bouncing, and they are ready for a revenge mission tomorrow (Saturday).

A few weeks ago the team were a mess, and it was no surprise when they were dumped out of the cup by Leganes.

Now comes an early chance for some payback.

That said, Leganes are in nice shape. They had a tough start, yet an opening-day 3-2 loss at Alemeria, and then 2-1 at leaders Osasuna, have been their only blip.

Last weekend, they battled back against Albacete to sneak a five-goal thriller with a 95th-minute winner.

They are compact and with a strong backline, which has worked for them over the last few seasons.

This campaign, they have tried to play with a bit more width, and have recruited former Tenerife winger Omar Ramos. He had been linked with a return to Santa Cruz, but elected to stay on the mainland.

He told a press conference: “I’m sure I will return to play one day, but not just yet. When I was in Tenerife I was young. I was 18 when I first started with the senior side and I was very young for my age.

I made a few mistakes and I’m sorry for that.

I have changed a lot. I am now a man.

“I am a father. That changes your mentality. I’ve always wanted to go back to play for Tenerife, and there was contact in the summer.

But it wasn’t right.

I owe Tenerife and when it’s right, I will go back.”

He certainly owes us after scoring the winning goal in the Cuptie! “That was a few weeks ago and Tenerife are much better now,” he said.

Omar certainly was a handful as a youth.

He angered the fans a few times and, while he had the skills - nobody doubted that - he sometimes had his own views on the pitch. Off it, he was with a bad crowd - and his family didn’t help.

This weekend he is an injury doubt, but has still requested to travel. He wants to see his family and visit his brother who is in prison.

Tenerife have a fine record over Leganes.

They have lost once only to Leganes in the second tier of senior football.

Agne has never named an unchanged side in his time in charge of Tenerife, but he may do this weekend. Things are looking bright.

Elsewhere, congrats to Mensajero, who have won their first match back in Segunda B. The La Palma outfit beat then-secondplace Real Union 2-1.

They are still bottom, but a result at Gernik on Sunday will see them move out of the relegation zone.

Finally, international football returns to Santa Cruz on Tuesday as the Spanish Under-21s host Sweden at the Heliodoro.

Spain had to dig deep to beat Georgia 5-2 in the European qualifiers on Wednesday, and they will be hoping for another big Group 6 win against a fine Swedish outfit, who arrive on Sunday and will be staying at the Hotel Mencey.

Both squads are packed with future stars, including Barcelona’s Munir, who scored twice on Wednesday.

Everton’s Gerard Deulofeu, Sevilla’s former Man City midfielder Denis Suarez, Real Betis star Dani Ceballos and the impressive Marcos Asensio, of Real Madrid, should all play.

Tickets are on sale now, from 10 euros, and the game kicks off at 5.45pm.

Titans Trip The Phoenix!

AT just past the halfway point in the season, and barring a major slump, it would seem that the Division 1 title battle is already a two-horse race.

Boothen Army and The Phoenix don’t play each other until 15th January, but meantime, both sides are aware that every point gained is vital.

And dropping points is not good, as The Phoenix will testify after they were held to a draw by the Army’s stablemates, Boothen Titans. Of course, the Titans expect a few beers for that result!

The Army did their bit, with Sam’s seventh maximum. They put six past the Playboys to open the gap to seven points, although Phoenix have a game in hand. Emerald Shamrocks, in fifth spot, had Gary and Cameron hitting 180s

as they whitewashed Palms Sports Bar, while Gaffers’ Tom hit one of his own during a 7-1 win over Waterfall Warriors.

Exiles Jamie struck his third maximum to help his side beat Emerald Lounge, who had Darren notching his second 180 of the campaign.

Pas O Nadas A have now gone seven weeks without defeat, and are out of the dropzone, courtesy of a solid 6-2 success over Palms Pool Bar. Last week’s Division 2 big-hitters were Summerlands, who had a cracking result at rivals Picassos, taking all the points on offer to shoot themselves up to third

Their latest victims, Bar Leones, left it late to save their blushes by taking the trebles leg. The result sees the Flights 22 points clear

at the top. Sandys Chippers claimed a six-point haul from the Playgirls, while Naughty Nautas moved up to sixth with a 5-3 win over Gaffers Jucee Girls.

Clouseaus holding their nerve to win at Sundowners, and Pas O Nadas B doing likewise to beat Waterfall B.

Going points-mad with Aguero AT long last, the so-called Premier League star players actually performed, resulting in a high pointscoring weekend in the Oasis Fm Fantasy League.

One or two signings have now justified their positions in teams, but they still need to kick on and continue to perform at a high level.

The point-scoring team of the week were another mixed bag, apart from two obvious inclusions as Man City and Arsenal had great weekends.

Both teams contributed two players each,

as did Stoke, who finally got their first win.

The rest of the team came from Watford, Leicester, Spurs, Crys-

tal Palace and Southampton.

Player of the week was, of course, Sergio Aguero who, after scor-

ing five goals, amassed a mammoth 25 points.

Plenty of shrewdies had him as captain, which scores double points, and at least one team had him as a triple skipper.

In the Oasis Fm League, there has been a change at the top, with Just 4Fun, managed by Paul Plowman, having a quiet week and dropping down to fourth.

Frank Devany’s Baines On Toast team are now top after scoring an impressive 91 points. They now have 451 points, opening up a 29-point lead over Passo Utd, coached by Trevor Passingham, who still occupy second spot.

Team of the week,

and I say this quietly, goes to Roscoes Wanderers, surprisingly, managed by Roscoe!

They scored a whopping 112 points, with Aguero as captain.

Throw in De Bruyne and Payet and, between the trio, they contributed 75 points, which moved him up

the league quite nicely.

He is now confident of a top-10 entry next week.

We now have an international break before the Fantasy League returns to action, so, fingerscrossed, all the players come back fit and raring to go.

9th October - 15th October 2015

That’s why we’re champions!

IT was all-change again at the top of Division One in the Direct Telecom Pool League as Dreamers, who were leading, took on reigning champions Gaffers A.

Gaffers Bar or, as they have renamed it, the home of pool, is a tough place to get a result, so Steve and his team knew they needed to be at their best.

The opening frames were close, but Gaffers just managed to open a 3-1 lead. The next session was shared, so it was a 5-3 home advantage going into the last frames.

Dreamers, through Mark A, took the opener and they were right back in it. But Gaffers are not champions for nothing and, once they dug deep, Steve and Neil took the winning frames.

Dreamers were beaten and Gaffers were back on top … but only on frame difference!

Treehouse A had been going strong, and a win could have seen them go top. Their opponents were The Phoenix, who have been struggling to get going this season. However, the visitors put in a much-improved performance.

Frames were tight and it looked to be heading for a draw.

But The Phoenix got the rub of the green and took a slight lead, which they held, along with the three points.

Down on Amarilla Golf, Terrace Bantams look a completely different outfit from the team who battled relegation last season.

They welcomed Bluebell A to the Golf and, with confidence high, soon moved into a 4-1 lead. Mucker grabbed a frame back for the visitors, but the home team then took three on the bounce to win the match and move up to fourth.

Silencio was anything but as Exiles A took on a Tenerife Hammers A side full of confidence after their win against Gaffers A the previous week. But, and I have said this a few times, Exiles is an awkward place to win and, try as they might, Hammers just could not shake off the home team, who were giving as good as they got.

The match was close and both teams would probably have taken a point. But Exiles got the break - and their noses in front - and they held their nerve to see out an excellent victory.

Phoenix Potters were looking to add to their points tally against Rewind A, but it was to be another frustrating night down in Los Abrigos.

The visitors took a 2-0 lead, only for Pot-

in the second session, getting it back to 4-4 to make it gameon. But only the Roosters will be able to tell you what happened in the last session as they managed an almighty collapse, losing all four games to leave Tony and his team smiling with three points.

In Division Two, leaders Treehouse B slightly extended their advantage after a tricky away clash against Splash Bar. It was another of those matches in which neither team could manage to get in front and, after eight frames, it was all-square.

The home team’s Steve won his next game, but Treehouse B took the next two, courtesy of Ben and Alan, to put victory in sight. But Craig held his nerve to earn his team a draw.

Bluebell B could have capitalised from Treehouse B dropping two points, but they faced a tough game away at Crown B, who have plenty of league experience, even though, technically, they are a new team!

Both teams are playing well, and it was always going to be a

ters to hit back and level. Rewind then went 4-2 up again, only for the score to be bought back to 4-4. Things changed slightly differently in the final section as the Potters took the first two frames to forge a 6-4 lead.

They needed just one more for the win but, as was the pattern of the match, Rewind took the next two and it was points shared.

Palms Bar A must be wondering where their luck has gone this season as their terrible

-56

run of form continued against Gaffers B. It was quite a contest, and the visitors were chasing revenge after Palms beat them 9-3 earlier in the season.

And the Gaffers were quickly on the bunny as 2-0 became 4-2 and then 5-2, before Palms launched a fightback.

Roscoe, Pete and 69-year-old Kung Fu all took frames to level the match. Palms had their tails up, but Lady Luck had other ideas.

She dealt the hosts some wretched fortune in the last two frames and Gaffers scrambled home 7-5.

The fixtures also threw up a bottomtable clash between Tenerife Hammers C and a Terrace Roosters team hopeful of picking up their first points. They didn’t start according to plan, though, and soon found themselves 3-1 down.

Fin gave them a bit of a pep talk and they played much better

8

close game. But the home team gained a slight advantage and didn’t let it slip, eventually close the game out for another win.

Picasso’s A have been a much-improved team in recent weeks, and they went to Valle San Lorenzo to tackle Crown A full of confidence.

Over the course of the night, that confidence was justified as they picked up frames and, when they got their noses in front, they never let the lead slip to gain another three points.

It was a cracking night for Hoppy’s Bar as both their teams won. Hoppy’s A played host to Sabores, who are still seeking their first points of the season. But it proved another night of heartache for them as the home team were too strong, seeing out a fairly straightforward win.

Hoppy’s B were away at Dreamers B and didn’t have it as easy as their A team.

But they played well enough to see off the home team’s challenge and pick up their second win from three games since joining the league.
