So far... So good!

Continued from Front Canarian Weekly caught up with Alonso this week at the official launch of Arona Summer Festival, which is one of the social highlights of the summer in the South.

It was the first time he’d found time to take a few questions from us this year, such is the tightness of his diary.

We started by asking him about the fallout from the Brexit vote, and he said it was something the Cabildo had been looking at for a while.

“The Brexit? Well it could be a problem in the future, and it could cause a lot uncertainty in the future,” he said.

“But we are working hard on this and next week (on Monday) we will unveil our ‘mission’ in London, along with the Concierge of Tourism.

“We still see Tenerife as an important island for the British and a key holiday destination, even if they are not in the European Union.

“We love the Brits and we expect that they will still love our Island!

Look, we are still concerned as to what will happen in the future, especially what will happen with the Pound.

“But we are confident about the competitiveness of the Island, and the long-term view of what we can do as a quality, holiday destination.”

Today (Friday), Alonso will host a major press conference in which he will address questions and concerns on the Brexit issue.

The President seems to be on top the situation, as does the Canary Islands Government. But the shortterm problem is the exchange rate.

Over the next few weeks, hotels will do their deals with tour operators for the 2017 summer season. A weak Pound against the Euro makes us much more expensive.

And that extra cost is passed on to the consumer, thus making us appear a costlier destination. The London initiative involves a quirky campaign, with a working title of a Big Warm Hug! This features a newspaper and social media campaign, based on the idea that Tenerife still loves the Brits, despite the Brexit, and that we want to give them a big, warm hug. Let’s hope it works.

Alonso has had a good year on the international front, with recent

conferences by Starmus and Routes Africa giving Tenerife a real boost.

“We are really working hard to attract new events to Tenerife to make it an island that shows we can do the big events,” he said.

“I think we are doing a good job with this, but we are also doing our own events, which is creating a real buzz for the islands.”

This is a nod to events like Arona Summer Festival, which will attract nearly 15,000 people a day, half of whom have flown in for the festivities.

“The Arona Summer Festival is important as it links a lot of things,” said Alonso. “There are a lot of cultural events all week, and people from all over the Island will get involved. This is the sort of thing we want to link the whole island with - not just with one great concert but with more cultural

activities.”

It’s clear to see that Alonso sees the longterm growth in a different way from many.

He is keen to attract all markets, rather than concentrating just on the bucket-and-spade brigade.

The bigger bucks are also what he craves: quality over quantity, you could say. The latest tourist figures are breaking all records, and, while Alonso is pleased with them, he says it doesn’t tell the whole story.

“I am not really obsessed with the tourism figures,” he admitted. “I want to have the same number of tourists, but I really want them to enjoy Tenerife a lot, so they spend a lot and enjoy the quality we have.

“We (the Cabildo) work on a day-by-day basis, and we try to work without interruptions. Some of the other islands … well, they are trying to do too much,

We work in the same direction, day by day, very professionally, and that is the way we work.”

And it is getting results.

Alonso has been in the job less than two years, but he has hit the ground running. His tourism background and his overseas grounding have been a big help. He is a proud Canarian, even though he often thinks out of the box. Think Big is in his DNA. “We are looking and trying to grow in quality, and that is why we are doing the renovation and upgrading on the islands, with the hotels and the whole feel of the areas,” he revealed.

“We want more consuming power, and more attractive events for our islands, which will draw even more people to Tenerife. We are working hard now, and, in the future, we will work just as hard.

“For example, we are trying hard in the field of sports, like the Bluetrail - the long-distance mountain races - which will have more than 2,000 people taking part. That is the way we want to go.

“Look at the Santa Cruz marathon, which has just exploded in popularity. Windsurfing is another untapped market for us. We have recently had the Champions Cup in El Medano, so we doing a good job in each field.

“Also, the No Limits trademark is being well received. People don’t just come here for the beach and a good time.

They want to do more, and the No Limits concept helps those who don’t have full mobility to have a full range of events. It’s an important growth area for us.”

Growth … Quality …

Untapped. Carlos Alonso is a leader who sees the bigger picture.

Rajoy remains cool on Scottish EU bid

MARIANO Rajoy, Spanish acting Prime Minister for now, is clearly opposed to Scotland’s ambition to remain part of the European Union, despite the UK’s recent Brexit decision.

“If the UK goes, Scotland goes,” said Rajoy (right), at a meeting in Brussels to discuss the effects of the triumphant Leave vote in Britain’s EU referendum.

And though he did not mention Catalonia, the caretaker PM has the north-eastern Spanish region clearly in mind, because Scottish membership in the EU would set an example for Catalan separatists.

Scotland’s First Min-

ister, Nicola Sturgeon, was well received in Brussels by top officials, which has already led Catalan independence supporters to draw their own conclusions.

Regional premier Carles Puigdemont said the EU was changing its attitude toward Scotland and Catalonia “radically and swiftly because it doesn’t enjoy an excess

Public wages are streaming ahead PUBLIC employment has always been seen as a “safe job for life” and the data confirms that - at least, when compared with those in the private sector.

This week’s published survey on salary structure, by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), reveals that the difference between what Canary workers in administrations and public entities rake in, and what the private sector employees earn, is massively different - as much as around 13,500 euros per year.

The gap in the Islands’ sectors is the deepest in the country.

Annually, the average gross salary amounts to 19,436 euros in the Archipelago, the second lowest in Spain after Extremadura (19,180), and 3,400 euros more

than the Spanish average, at 22,858.

The figure would be even lower were it not for the salaries of businesses and public administrations which, anyway, are in that minority who reach the 30,652-euro mark per year and are the country’s highest earners within the sector.

The private sector’s average is 17,118 euros, again behind only those of Extremadura, and 4,300 euros below the 21,450-euro national average.

All sectors presented in the Canaries are lower than the national average-wage levels. In the case of Services the majority activity in the Archipelago - the annual salary in 2014 totalled 19,248 euros, the second-poorest in Spain.

Construction workers still earned the least, on 18,797 euros. As for Industry, its employees were paid an average 22,820 euros.

Throughout the Spanish territory, salaries associated with permanent contracts are higher than those earned by employees with temporary contracts.

But in the Canaries, the peculiarity that the average of the latter exceeds the national 15,904-euro record against 15,680 euros is given, while workers in the Islands who have fixed contracts receive almost 4,200 euros less per year than the Spanish average: 20,590 euros against 24,746.

Official statistics confirm that the gender gap in salaries occurs in all regions. In the Canaries, the difference is more than 2,400 euros a year. Men enjoy salaries of 20,641 euros, while women receive 18,201.

The national average testifies to an even greater span in this regard: 25,727 euros for the men and 19,744 for women.

of support right now”.

Rajoy’s Popular Party (PP), and other Spanish mainstream parties opposed to Catalan independence, have often used the argument that an independent Catalonia would be kicked out of the EU club automatically.

The Spanish leader, who won a repeat national election on 26th June and is hoping to secure enough support this time for a clear majority to get himself reinstated for four more years, was “radically opposed” to the idea of negotiating Britain’s exit with anyone other than the British Government.

He also played down the visit of Scotland leader Sturgeon to EU institutions, where she was received by Commission President Jean Claude-Juncker and European Parliament leader Martin Schulz.

“Some people may think it’s a good thing for them to be received here, but the practical effects of these interviews are zero,” added Rajoy.

But the Spanish leader did not disclose whether Spain would veto a hypothetical membership application by an independent Scotland, saying he would rather not get ahead of himself.

Unlike other European leaders, such as France’s François Hollande, who has turned up the pressure to accelerate Britain’s EU departure, Rajoy has asked for the process to take place “with maximum calm, serenity and predictability”.

But it is not for nothing, because Spain is one of the countries which stands to lose the most from Brexit, since there is a community of around 400,000 British expats in Spain, and nearly 200,000 Spaniards living in the UK. Nearly 25% of all tourism to Spain comes from the British Isles.

Also, Britain is the first destination for Spanish foreign investment, and Spain has a trade surplus with Britain.

Sacking season is here already IT’S not uncommon to see a spate of political musical chairs in July, just before the August holidays. And, it seems, the sacking season is now under way.

This week, Santa Cruz Employment Councillor Alfonso Cabello called for the sacking of Alexander Martin, Director of the Canary Islands Employment Service (SCE), whose job is to “promote the regeneration of employment policies in the Canary Islands”.

But it seems he has not been doing what is required. Cabello said that Martin, Director of SCE since 2013, when Paulino Rivero was head of the Canary Islands, was “an outdated model who had clearly demonstrated that he was not valid or up to the task of doing the work”.

In a fierce attack, Cabello said: “Let’s leave it to the councils and

municipalities to manage how we can create more local jobs. We know better than anyone the area, and what is required.”

Calls for a local director rather than a regional one is nothing new.

And many felt that Martin was over-promoted under the disliked Rivero.

Cabello added, bizarrely: “You cannot fish without eating. And the idea is that you eat what is caught, or, at least, try for that to be the way.”

In English, he’s probably saying: “You reap what you sow.”

Cabello said the social employment schemes designed by SCE “must produce sustained employment” He complained: “This has not happened since 2013. The SCE has become an administrative rather than a reactionary body. There are no projects or designs on the future.”

Canaries have most drownings A TOTAL of 37 people have drowned in the Canaries so far this year, which is the highest figure for any Spanish community, says the Royal Spanish Federation of Lifesaving (RSFL).

So far, the first half of the year in Spain has rendered 211 deaths by drowning, representing a 67.5% over the same 2015 period.

The 37 drownings in the Canaries add up to 17.5% of the state total, ahead of Galicia (36), Andalusia (32) and Valencia (20).

This “dramatic increase” in deaths on Spanish waters, according to the Royal Spanish Federation of Lifesaving, “demonstrates the lack of institutional attention to this cause of death.

This month usually sees more tragic deaths than any other month and up to July 6th we have already reached the same number of deaths as we did by the last day of July last year.

“The same attitude of the administration is repeated year on year and we are not making any progress”, said RSFL president Isabel García Sanz.

The state total of 46.9% deaths (99) occurred on beaches; 23.7% (50 cases) in rivers, 3.8% (8) in swimming pools, and the remaining 25.6% (54) in other water areas, where there were lifesaving, monitoring services in 91.5% instances.

In 162 cases (76.8%), the deceased were Spanish and of the remaining 49 (23.2%) of foreign nationality, more than half were from Europe - 83% (175) were men and 17% (36) women.

Messi tax mess FOOTBALL superstar Lionel Messi has been sentenced to 21 months in jail and fined 2m euros over tax charges.

His father, Jorge, found guilty on three counts of tax fraud, was given the same prison term and fined 1.5m euros.

The Barcelona court said their sentences could be appealed through the country’s Supreme Court. But under Spanish law, a sentence of under two years can be served on probation, which means the Messis are hardly likely to see the inside of a prison cell.

The court ordered the Argentina and Barcelona legend to pay a fine of around 2 million euros (£1.7million) and his father must pay 1.5 million euros for his crimes.

The long-running case relates to a scheme to avoid paying £3.4m of tax on Lionel Messi’s image rights.

The Argentina star denied having any knowledge of the tax issues which sparked fraud

charges against him when he gave evidence in court last month.

Messi, who spoke for under 15 minutes, said he had signed contracts or documents without reading them. He never suspecting of any wrong-doing because he trusted his father and the advisers responsible for managing his finances.

The legendary striker had arrived at the city court with his father to jeers of “Thief”.

One onlooker shouted “Go and play in Panama!” - a reference to the recent Panama Papers leak, which saw thou-

sands of documents released relating to offshore tax havens.

Messi, one of the world’s highest-paid stars in sport, and his father, were accused of using a chain of fake companies in Belize and Uruguay to avoid paying taxes on 4.16 million euros (£3.2million) of the footballer’s income earned through the sale of his image rights from 2007-09.

His club, Barcelona, has offered “all its support” to Messi and his father. A statement said: “The Club, in agreement with the Government prosecu-

Jobless tally still falling THE Canarian jobless figure fell by 11,347 (-4.57%) in June against the same month of 2015, thus reaching 236,876 unemployed in the Archipelago, according to data released by the Ministry of Employment and Social Security.

As for the monthly data, unemployment fell in the Canary Islands by 3,191 people in June, compared with the previous month, which, in percentage terms, showed a 1.33% decrease.

By provinces, Santa Cruz de Tenerife recorded a further decline in unemployment in June from the previous month, falling to 1,929

people (-1.69%) compared with the 1,262 (-1%) drop in Las Palmas.

Also, women groups (128,621 unemployed) remain greater than the men (108,255). In addition, under-25s in the jobless list stood at 12,787 people, while the rest of age-groups totalled 224,089 unemployed.

On the other hand, the Services sector is where more unemployment fell in the Canaries last month, by 1,959 people, and the jobless tally stood at 176,432.

It was followed by Agriculture, which decreased by 559 to 5,801 unemployed; in Industry, the unemployed fell by 111 (9,839); and construction workers decreased by 86 (28,711).

Regarding contracts, there were 67,808 handed out in June - a monthly increase of 7,720.

The number of unemployed registered at the offices of the Public Employment Services (formerly INEM) on the mainland fell in June to 3,767,054 people, the lowest since September 2009, after experiencing a jobless decline of 124,349, against the May figure (-3.2%), which was the second-biggest drop in June in the historical series.

Unemployment dropped to four million for the first time in May since August 2010. Now, with the June decline, it is down to the levels of seven years ago.

This jobless drop, the fourth straight after March, April and May, is the second-best June record since the beginning of the historical series (1996), surpassed only by the June 2013 trimming, when the jobless tally fell by more than 127,000 people.

tion service, considers that the player, who has corrected his position with the Spanish Tax Office, is in no way criminally responsible with regards to the facts underlined in this case.

“FC Barcelona continues to be at the disposal of Leo Messi and his family to support him in whatever action he decides to take in defence of his honesty and his legal interests.”

THE Canaries registered 93 bankruptcy proceedings in the first half of the year, which was a 47.6% increase over the same 2015 period, and Spain’s biggest rise.

The data was analysed by the Office of Economic Studies Axesor, the Spanish rating agency.

The electoral uncertainty is said to have had a minor impact and hasn’t caused problems to the Spanish economy, which some experts feared.

Nationally, June saw the smallest number

of bankruptcies for the month since 2008, and a 20% fall, compared with the same month last year.

This suggests another green shoot in the economic recovery, but so far this year, just 3.76% of insolvent companies have reached agreement with creditors.Yet entrepreneurial activity remains strong.

Some 57,000 companies opened their doors in Spain for the first time during January June, which was 11.5% higher than in 2015.

This puts the country on track to achieve 100,000 new companies by the end of the year, which would be the first time Spain has passed that barrier since the economic crisis.

Updated Eurocop platform to raise police efficiency SANTA Cruz Mayor Jose Manuel Bermúdez this week opened the Academy of Local Security’s new headquarters, and he also unveiled a presentation of the new police technology, the platform called EUROCOP.

Bermudez said: “The complexity of police work must combine efficient work in the fight against crime, and a service which brings security among citizens.”

In addition to insisting that “everything happens, inevitably, by the use of technological tools at our disposal”,

the Mayor said the local police in Santa Cruz had, for years, been using this platform, and now they have some new products and important updates.

“We want to ensure a more efficient and consistent service with the needs of the public, and we are taking a step in that direction,” said Bermudez.

The local police’s administrative section in Santa Cruz last year processed 9,485 documents.

Ramón Esteve García, Eurocop Security Systems chief, thanked the excellent reception of the leaders and representatives of the local police, adding: “The new features of the platform of EUROCOP takes us to the next level.”

Tenerife winter star shining so brightly TENERIFE has been named as a finalist for the Best Winter Destination in the Travel Bulletin Star Awards, considered one of the most prestigious titles given annually in UK travel.

Santa Cruz Sunday right on the money SANTA Cruz hosted the fourth 2016 edition of its “Come to Santa Cruz” initiative last Sunday - a rare opening of shops on the Sabbath Day - which saw 63% of businesses opening their doors, including 59.6% of the commercial sector.

Mayor Jose Manuel Bermudez said: “When Santa Cruz closes at the weekend, we miss something. We should be full of activities, so, together, with the start of the sales season, we have seen thousands of residents and visitors walking the streets.

“They have then bought in establishments and consumed in restaurants, which results in an improvement to the city’s economy.”

The Sunday closures seem alien to many peo-

ple, especially youngsters. Bermudez obviously has to play both sides, but he did say: “From the Council point of view, we have made a clear commitment to Santa Cruz for it to remain an active city, a capital with activities every day and for everyone.

“And, thanks to the collaboration with public and private entities, we have a full programme of initiatives.”

Alfonso Cabello, Economic Development Councillor, said that this fourth “Come to Santa Cruz” concluded with “a remarkable rate of openness in trade and catering”.

He added: “It is a very attractive initiative for the business, and for the public who visit us.”

The Island is the only European finalist in its category, in which it is competing for the crown against Barbados, Dubai, Egypt, Mexico and Gambia.

Delighted Cabildo President Carlos Alonso said: “This nomination confirms the strength of our tourist destination, which is competing in the same category not only with other islands, but with countries.

That gives more meaning to its presence among the finalists for the best winter destination.”

Tourism Minister Minister Alberto Bernabé stressed the importance of being the only European destination among those selected. “It’s another reason to be satisfied

with all the hard work put in,” he said.

“This should serve to inspire us to continue in the line of leadership to which we have always been committed.”

The Travel Bulletin Star Awards, along with Travel Weekly and TTG, are the most sought-after accolades from the British tourism industry.

Its credibility is based on the nominees chosen by UK travel agents themselves, both as independent, general agencies and online.

Voting lasts six weeks

and the agents choose the most important companies and destinations in as many as 30 categories, including Best Airlines, Best Destination for Families and Best Leisure Parks in Europe, which must surely put Siam Park’s international, award-winning water park in the picture.

The Travel Bulletin is one of the most important media professionals on tourism in the UK. And the winners will be announced at a London awards’ ceremony on 5th September.

Bloody bull protest as activists strip off BULL-RUN protesters stripped down to their underwear and drenched themselves in fake blood on Tuesday, ahead of Pamplona’s famous Running of the Bulls festival, which began yesterday (Thursday) for a week.

Australian Hannah Rose Bailey was one of 75 animal rights activists making a stand outside Pamplona’s main square as San Fermin festival officials, in the Northern Spain city, were finalising preparations.

The 22-year-old, added a bull-horn headband as she poured buckets of fake blood over herself as part of the demonstration, organised by AnimaNaturalis and PETA.

Hannah was joined by 75 other like-minded protesters from Spain, Sweden, Russia and the UK. Some one million people from around the world are attracted annually to the festival’s daily running of the bulls, where members of the public charge ahead of them through the streets.

Bullfights follow in the evenings, but, said Hannah: “Torturing and killing animals can never be justified as

entertainment. We’re calling on Spain to end its widely-condemned Running of the Bulls event, and the bullfights that follow - and, with them, the horrific suffering and abuse of bulls.”

Aida Gascón, AnimaNaturalis director, said their aim was to raise awareness of the “cruelty and torture” this event imposes on the animals.

She added: “Each year, 54 bulls are killed at the festival.”

A CRAZED woman, who sent scores of death threats to scientific genius Stephen Hawking in what she says was a “sexy ass” bid to seduce him in Tenerife, was this week given a fourmonth suspended sentence.

The editor says...

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

Justice for all?

IT has been a shocking week for those who believe that good will always triumph over evil.

Let’s start in South Africa, where Oscar Pistorius has been given a paltry six years for slaying his girlfriend.

How did the judge who botched the original trial get to rule on the sentencing of a verdict which over-ruled hers?

My head is still shaking. The law states a minimum of 15 years for murder, yet Oscar gets six.

The judge didn’t want to jeopardise Pistorius’s career. And what of Reeva Steenkamp’s career?

The judge also said that Pistorius was, quote, “not a violent person”. That’s one way of describing a man who commits the gruesome, brutal slaughter of his defenceless girlfriend; Bang. Bang.

Bang. Bang.

The convicted murderer could be free in 18 months. Justice?

Have you ever had your bank account frozen or embargoed? Ever owed the taxman money, even if

it is by mistake or their error?

It’s not a nice experience and it’s designed to be that way. It dates back centuries. “Every man must pay his taxes”. Even multi-millionaires.

Footballing legend Lionel Messi has this week been found guilty of avoiding the equivalent of 4.1 million euros in state tax. If we avoided paying 15,000 euros, we would be looking at three years.

Messi’s bill is 4,100,000 euros and he gets a suspended sentence.

Justice?

In Minnesota, police stopped a vehicle as the back light wasn’t working.

Moments later Philando Castile was dead after a nervous policeman fired four shots into his midriff, killing him instantly.

This happened 24 hours after father-offive Alton Sterling was held down by police and shot five times in Baton Rouge.

In 2015, 1,152 people were killed by police in America and just 3% of these resulted in charges.

In 2016 that figure is already 556 with no convictions. Justice?

Jenny Contonio was arrested before Professor Hawking delivered his first lecture during last week’s Starmus 3 International Festival.

The deluded, 37-yearold American, who lives in Norway, said she had seen the wheelchairbound, renowned British scientist when he visited neighbouring Sweden a year ago.

Contonio, who believed she could “to win him over” at the Tenerife science and arts festival, revealed the befuddled state of her mind - and her poor spelling and grammar by blogging: “I figured after a whole year he should be willing to see me rather than get his needs fulfilled elsewhere . . . either that or we’re over.

“Anyways I decided to go to Starmus 3, so I get there and get my badge at the Pyramid De Aronas where all the lectures are being held and theres pamplets and even a map.

“Well now it seemed like this was an open invitation..pretty upsetting to think any chick could be sexing up SH..it was upsetting

so I was like standing by an unmarked van still not knowing where he was trying to intimidate chicks away.

“I decided to get ready and give him one last chance and wear my sky blue Monroe halter dress looking all sexy ass standing on the sidewalk in front of a perfume store.. and cops arrest me for making SERIOUS THREATS. I guess it didnt help that I posted pics of the unmarked vehicle and tagged #stephenhawking #pervert and also said I was gonna jump off my balcony..I really felt like that...

They dont interrogate

me..throw me in a concrete cell with nothing.. but a concrete platform.”

You can hardly blame the police for reacting promptly, especially when they found a collection of esoteric items linked to religious extremism, contrary to Hawking’s theories - which deny the existence of God - when they searched her room, in the same hotel where the Starmus guest of honour was also staying.

Last week, Prof Hawking’s daughter Lucy told police that threatening messages had begun flooding his social media profiles.

There were over 100 threatening messages on Twitter and in emails, containing sentences such as: “I am going to kill him”, and “I’m next to you and can kill you.” The emails included specific plans to end the scientist’s life, revealed police.

They also found notes and documents detailing the scientist’s residence and workplace, and notebooks outlining precise plans on how to approach her target.

But in a statement to the police, the woman said she loved Hawking and would never harm him.

The Professor’s address attracted long lines of people at the festival, and the astrophysicist arrived on stage, flanked by two police officers.

The unusual sight alarmed some audience members, while outside the Pirámide de Arona venue, other officers checked visitors’ bags.

That same day, police arrested Contonio at her hotel, close to the venue, which has one of the biggest auditoriums in Europe.

But sources close to Prof Hawking said the scientist felt safe at all times, and had played down the incident.

Soup-kitchen figures an eye-opener for Canaries THE number of people who rely on a soup kitchen for sustenance is on the rise in the Archipelago, with more than 2,000 regulars around the islands.

The shocking figure, estimated by the So-

cial Policy Ministry, was provided by Canarian Government Deputy Casimiro Curbelo, who is also leader of the Socialist Gomera Association (ASG).

There are 16 facilities in the Archipelago offering a catering service, and three centres operating exclusively as a soup kitchen, providing daily break-

fast, lunch and dinner.

The majority of these services are offered by public managementincorporated residential care or shelters.

The remaining canteens belong to charitable organisations or religious centres.

Curbelo said: “By the very nature of this social reality, there is no accurate data regarding the

exact number of people attending daily. But we can make a pretty informed guess.”

These numbers are a big jump on last year’s estimates. But they do not include those people using food banks, which paints an even more worrying picture of the problem affecting thousands of families in the Canaries.

South Hospital opens!

THE waiting is finally over … Tenerife’s new South Hospital will open “properly” today (Friday)!

Initially, there will be 46 hospital beds available for short-stay convalescence, and another 49 will be operational on 1st September.

The first entry beds in the centre are on the ground floor, where there is also a waiting room for families, a medical office and a nursing control room.

There is also a room dedicated to physical and occupational

therapy for patients.

Roberto Moreno, Canary Islands Health Ser-

vice Director, who visited the wing this week along with Candelaria

Hospital Managing Director Mercedes Cueto, said: “This is destined to become one of the best hospitals of the Archipelago.

“With its potential, capacity for growth and modernity, this will be an importance hospital for patients here and for those on La Gomera.”

The hospital will also have a special unit, dedicated to children’s mental health and consultation specialities (cardiology, general surgery, dermatology, gastrointestinal, endocrinology, nutrition and diabetes education, neurology and gynaecology, among others).

The services are complemented by spe-

cialised radiology and emergencies facilities.

At the end of July, there will also be a Sleep Unit, plus speech therapy services, inpatient physiotherapy and occupational therapy, both ambulatory and inpatient.

The South Hospital will also feature endoscopy, and will be a Day Hospital for administering chemotherapy treatments to cancer patients.

The hospital will serve a population of 220,000 people from the municipalities of Santiago del Teide, Guia de Isora, Adeje, Arona, Vilaflor, San Miguel de Abona and Granadilla de Abona.

Canaries chief firmly behind tomato sector FERNANDO Clavijo, Canary Islands President, this week pledged his full support to the tomato industry, chairing a meeting with Jose Juan Bonny, head of both the Federation of Exporters of Horticultural Products of Las Palmas (Fedex) and the Association of Growers and Exporters of Tomatoes (Aceto).

They spoke of the need to negotiate with the national Government for compensation in the Economic and Fiscal Regime (REF).

One of the main problems for fruit and vegetable exporters is help with last year’s trans-

fer costs. They were reimbursed 50% of the cost of sea transfers to Cadiz - well below the 70% agreed in the Royal Decree of 2011.

To ensure compliance with current regulations, Fedex and Aceto insists that REF swiftly begins back-payment and compensation. And the organisations even called for 100% repayment to match the conditions of the Canary sector with those in the mainland.

The President, accompanied by Narvay Quintero, regional Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Water, and Abel

Morales, Deputy Minister of Primary Industry, told the press he stood alongside Fedex and Aceto on the need to compete on equal terms.

“We must fix the aid, and the REF must pay the Archipelago what is required,” he said.

“The Spanish Constitution ensures permanent protection for the islands.”

Clavijo will raise the subject when he meets Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy shortly.

The farmers are now owed quite a wedge 10.6 million euros for 2011 alone! Recent aid increases, from 7,700

euros to 11,000 euros per hectare for the 2016-2017 period, have already been agreed, even though farmers were hoping for 14,000 euros.

And the money is needed because Fedex and Aceto said the 2015-2016 campaign was down by 4.6% to 61,751 exported tons of tomatoes.

Jose Juan Bonny attributed the “sharp decline” in the sector’s recent years to the arrival of pests and viral diseases, increased production costs, maintaining selling prices or competition from new countries.

Oscar gets 6 years OSCAR Pistorius, the South African Olympic athlete who murdered girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in 2013, was sentenced to six years in prison on Tuesday for the murder of his girlfriend.

The Paralympic goldmedallist sprinter, initially given a five-year term for manslaughter, was found guilty of murder on appeal last December.

Pistorius, who had both legs amputated below the knee as a baby, was taken to jail immediately and, though both the prosecution and defence can appeal, his lawyers say they won’t.

Mums get the needle!

A GROUP of Tenerife mothers, whose children have diabetes, have complained about the lack of No.4 and No.5 needles for their youngsters.

Since the end of 2015, say the mums, they are provided with No.6 needles only, which are too big and cause the kids pain and bruising, despite many complaints to the Ministry of Health.

They estimate that a group of 70 mothers and fathers all have at least one child needing the correct needles.

Some of the mothers, along with their complaints, have added pictures of their children with the bruises stemming from the needles they are forced to use.

But the Health Department says the required needles have not yet been distributed because “they shall be released very soon for use by patients who are given them”.

The Ministry said the 4mm needle was “completely new and, for that reason, there were 10 training sessions throughout June, mandatory for professionals in the whole area of health”.

It then added: “This week, we shall start distributing the 4mm needles in health centres.”

But there is a snag because the health professionals who must train parents of the diabetes children do not have these needles!

An unnamed nurse said: “The size of the needles and the administration technique have a direct bearing on the effectiveness of treatment.”

The Ministry added: “As it stands, there is no point in distributing the needles as we are unsure if the user can use them properly.”

But the mothers remain baffled about all the delays. “It’s ridiculous.” said one. “Even the 5mm needles have not been distributed by the management for two years.”

The wealthy 29-year-old, nicknamed “Blade Runner” because he ran on prosthetic blades, shot Reeva Steenkamp four times through a locked toilet door in February 2013.

He admitted shooting her, but said he had mistaken Ms Steenkamp for an intruder and acted out of fear.

Judge Thokozile Masipa, who heard the original case, said mitigating circumstances, such as rehabilitation and remorse, outweighed aggravating factors, such as his failure to fire a warning shot, for deviating from the prescribed 15-year sentence.

Many have expressed shock at the Pistorius’s sentence - he should be out in three years - and South Africans have taken to social media to express their unhappiness, some describing the prison term as an “insult”.

Outside court, legal experts said the sentence was too little, one saying; “The judge was sympathetic and empathetic to Pistorius. It was clear in the tone of her entire judgement.”

But Judge Masipa said she had carefully considered the circumstances around Reeva Steenkamp’s death, and her sentence needed to be fair to both Pistorius and the family of the deceased.

South Africa has one of the highest murder

rates in the world, and some say a short sentence will send the wrong message to would-be-offenders.

Pistorius, dressed in a dark suit, sat and listened to the hour-long session, mostly with his head down. He hugged his sister after the verdict, before being taken to Pretoria’s Khosi Mampuru prison.

Ms Steenkamp’s parents, Barry and June, there to listen to witness the sentencing, sat quietly on the other side of the packed courtroom.

Pistorius had already served one year in jail following his previous conviction, but he is legally obliged to serve half of the new term before being eligible for parole.

His legal team said he would serve the sentence prescribed and would not appeal, unless prosecutors indicated they wanted to do so. Prosecutors have not ruled it out and still have 14 days to make a decision.

Barry Steenkamp told the BBC he was pleased the trial was over, even though life would nev-

er be the same again. Ms Steenkamp’s parents had previously expressed disappointment with the initial sentence, which was an opinion shared by many South Africans.

But Judge Masipa said: “A long term in prison will not serve justice. Public opinion may be loud and persistent, but it can play no role in the decision of this court.”

Ms Masipa also said there was “no indication” that the victim was in an abusive relationship, or that this was a case of “gender violence”.

Some rights groups

have argued that Pistorius, a wealthy white man and international celebrity through his athletic feats, has received preferential treatment, compared with others who lack his status or wealth.

The Women’s League of the governing African National Congress (ANCWL) condemned the sentence as being too lenient. “It is an insult to women in this country,” spokeswoman Jacqueline Mofokeng told Reuters news agency.

Pistorius, six-time Paralympic gold medallist, made history by becoming the first amputee sprinter to compete at the Olympics, in London’s 2012 Games, running on his prosthetic blades.

Brothers ‘promoted terrorism’ THREE Pakistani brothers, suspected of promoting terrorism, have been arrested by police in Catalonia for spreading jihadist ideology, via social media, according to Spain’s Interior Ministry.

The trio, aged 25, 29 and 31, lived in the same house, where they were said to have worked to produce and distribute jihadist propaganda, including videos showing executions by Islamic State, and supporting the

Taliban and Pakistani extremist groups.

Investigations showed the brothers had operated various social media accounts and had recruited others, successfully, to “the glorification of terrorism”.

It is the latest in a series of arrests in Spain of people accused of promoting jihadism.

Since the start of the year, 29 people, suspected of belonging to or acting for Islamist militant groups, have been held in Spain.

Titsa demands more bus lanes TITSA manager James Kalitovics wants to see a real commitment to creating more bus lanes in the metropolitan area of North Tenerife.

“Rather than just thinking of a bus lane, we have to be clear, either with electric buses, hybrid or natural gas, that we have more preferred routes to use on the schedule,” he said in a statement.

“And for that we need more bus lanes and traffic-light preferences.

Otherwise, we will have longer tours, routes, journeys and, of course, delays.”

He added: “Before giving way to rapid bus technology, such as that being promoted in Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, we think we should first look at developing bus lanes.

“We have an inter-city network of 3,300km. In

the urban grid, we have 440 kilometres and only 0.001% of it is a bus lane.”

Kalitovics insisted: “There are very few bus lanes, and the responsibility is of municipalities.”

He said that within mobility plans: “It would be very important that we have these

options of bus lanes. In this day and age, Avenida Belgica, in Santa Cruz, is crying out for this. Then there is, say, La Salle.

“Today, there are modern cities where paths and pathways are designed specifically for public transport.”

Kalitovics said Titsa

faced a renewal plan in its long-distance fleet of about 200 vehicles, which, he added, included “an investment of 50m euros, with a plan for renewal every seven years.

“It is a new formula within the sector, and we are comfortable with a seven-year bus cycle.”

Police ‘Special’ killed in motorway accident A SPECIAL Constable, based in Bolton, died when she was hit by an HGV after getting out of her car on a motorway.

Samantha Derbyshire, 23, had been driving her Ford Fiesta on the M61 early on Monday morning when it hit the central reservation, said police. The car was stuck, so she got out to inspect the damage and was hit by the lorry. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ms Derbyshire had been accepted to join Greater Manchester Police as a full-time constable later this year.

Her family said in a statement: “Sam was our fun-loving, beautiful, amazing daughter, sister, grand-daughter and niece.

“She was also such a funny, clever and amazing friend, but also a fantastic, enthusiastic, special constable, which she worked so hard to achieve.

“She was a very social person and en-

joyed keeping fit. She had just completed the Great Manchester Run. “Sam was a special constable for Greater Manchester Police.

She was so proud of this and loved it.

She had recently been informed that she had passed her entry tests and had been accepted to join GMP as a constable later this year.

“She was so looking forward to this. It is all she has ever wanted to do.

“We as a family are devastated by what has happened to Sam and couldn’t be any more proud of her.

“She was better than all of us and lived her life to the full every day. We will miss her greatly.”

Chief Inspector Mike Walmsley, of GMP’s Special Constabulary, said her colleagues were “devastated”.

And Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: “Not only was Samantha a serving member of police staff, but she dedicated her own time to helping others as a special constable in Bolton.”

Economy exceeds great expectations Tiger mauls female zoo-keeper to death A FEMALE zookeeper was killed in Benidorm last Saturday by a tiger, after inadvertently leaving the door to its pen open.

The horrific attack happened at 5pm, and though ambulances raced to the Terra Natura wildlife park, medics were unable to save the victim.

Terra Natura released a statement saying: “The park complies with a strict safety protocol for the handling of animals, and, for reasons that are under investigation, the employee entered into direct contact with the animal while cleaning the interior pens.”

The area where the

attack happened is not accessible or visible to the public.

Park manager Alberto Gaforio, who said on Sunday that a judicial investigation had been opened, insisted that the woman had “wide experience as a zookeeper”.

He added: “She had been with us for eight years, working with felines and all kinds of species. She was very professional and had a lot of experience - and we still don’t know for sure what could have happened.”

He conveyed “condolences” from the park’s management team and staff to the keeper’s family, saying they were all “concerned and devastated over what had happened”.

SPAIN’S economy is expected to grow more than the 2.7% initially expected in 2016, according to acting Economy Minister Luis de Guindos.

And he believes the government will review its economic forecasts before the end of the month.

De Guindos also said the economic expansion could potentially top the annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 3.2% registered last year if the political impasse after two inconclusive general elections is broken quickly.

An optimistic De Guindos said in a radio interview: “The growth projections for this year are excessively prudent.

I believe that we will revise growth for 2016 in the next set of forecasts.”

The Economy Minister also said Spain will try to attract financial service groups or European agencies, looking to move from London following Britain’s vote to leave the European Union.

“The problem for the City of London is that there will be foreign banks losing their (European) Community passports, and they could come here,” he added. “This is a

very attractive country.”

Internationallyrecognised business schools, low real-estate prices, good weather and solid infrastructure were all good reasons for companies to consider Spain as an option, he said.

When asked about Italy’s plans to negotiate a controversial plan to recapitalise its banks with public money, De Guindos said he agreed

with the proposal.

“There’s a problem there that needs to be resolved and, considering the difficulties we had in 2012, Spain will support Italy in this plan, as well as Portugal,” he said.

Portugal is struggling to reinforce its lenders after a long economic downturn, including the sale of Novo Banco, the “good bank” successor to Bank Espirito Santo.

‘Gibbo’ drug gang’s big ambulance scam SIX men, found guilty of handling class A drugs, smuggled into the UK via a fleet of fake Dutch ambulances, have been sentenced collectively to over 94 years behind bars.

Most of the men worked as couriers for 57-year-old drug-dealer James Gibson, who had connections to criminal gangs in Holland.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) used mobile data analysis and CCTV footage to link him to several deliveries.

Officials discovered the word “Gibbo” written on a list of 20 names found in an ambulance they had under surveillance, which was

“rammed” full of drugs.

When police made the arrests in June 2015, they found cocaine, heroin, MDMA and 22,000 ecstasy tablets hidden behind panels in the vehicle and stuffed under floorboards. The haul had a potential street value of over £38m.

Rob Lewin, NCA’s head of specialist operations, said: “The team

were able to investigate thoroughly, and use the communication data to place the distribution team alongside the ambulances.”

Gibson employed couriers to pick up boxes of drugs from the bogus ambulances, which were used to move substantial quantities. The charade itself even included fake paramedics

and patients. The NCA, which discovered that at least 45 trips had been made in the space of 14 months, estimated that around 4.5 tonnes of heroin and cocaine were smuggled into Britain, worth around £1.5bn.

“They are a very sophisticated, complex, organised crime group,” said Mr Lewin. “Bogus

Chill out! Frozen food really isn’t dangerous SHEER confusion over the safety of frozen foods has led to the equivalent of six meals a week being dumped by households.

A poll for the Food Standards Agency (FSA) found that 43% of people believe food should be frozen on the day of purchase only, rather than until the use-by date, while 38% incorrectly said it was dangerous to refreeze meat after it has been cooked.

And 36% still wrongly believe that food can become unsafe to eat while in the freezer.

Almost a quarter said they would never freeze meat which was cooked after defrosting, 73% of them saying this was through concerns

about food poisoning.

More than two-thirds of those surveyed had ditched food in the past month - mainly bread (36%), fruit (31%), vegetables (31%) and leftover meals (22%).

The FSA, Defra and Wrap (Waste and Resources Action Programme) is reviewing the guidance

provided to the food industry on date-marking of food, including whether it should be expanded to cover food storage and freezing advice for consumers.

Steve Wearne, FSA policy director, said: “The freezer is like a pause button, so you can

freeze foods right up to the “use-by” date.

“While food is kept safe in the freezer, it’s the quality that deteriorates over time, so we recommend eating it within three to six months, and checking for any freezing instructions on the packaging.”

He added: “Once defrosted, the pause button is off, so defrost food as and when you need it, and eat it within 24 hours of it being fully defrosted.”

patients were being repatriated between Holland and England, and they used them so they could get through controls.”

Gibson, of Ollerton, Nottinghamshire, was sentenced to 20 years for his part in the scheme.

Darren Owen, of Rush-

den, Northamptonshire, was sentenced to 15 years; Richard Clarke, from Acton, Suffolk, 11 years; Jonathan Floyd, of Burnage, Manchester, 15 years; Raymond DeSilva, of Slough, Berkshire, 16 years, and Petrit Kastrati, of Crystal Palace, London, 17½ years.

Cluedo’s Dr Orchid replaces Mrs White THE owner of popular board game Cluedo, which has kept families entertained since 1923, has killed off one of its key characters.

Mrs White, housekeeper at Dr Samuel Black’s mansion, will be replaced by Dr Orchid, who was privately-educated in Switzerland “until her expulsion following a near-fatal daffodil poisoning incident”.

Dr Orchid was taught by the very character she is to replace - and she gained a PhD in plant toxicology.

To add to the twist, the new character is the adoptive daughter of Black, whose mansion is where the key players in the Cluedo stakes are staying, as well as the game’s usual victim.

Cluedo owner Hasbro decided to kill off a character for the first

time since 1949 because “after 70 years of suspicious activity, we decided that one of the characters had to go”.

There are six characters in total: Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs Peacock, the Reverend Green and Colonel Mustard, as well as the new Dr Orchid.

They have all been revamped and updated in recent years, but for Colonel Mustard, now described as “significantly” older.

The card game involves finding out who killed whom, where, and with what. And, as all regular players will know, the murder weapons are a candlestick, dagger, lead pipe, revolver, rope and spanner.

Just the ticket … Irish bus drivers scoop Euromillions, then take day off work

Now, there’s a surprise!

BUS drivers in Dublin, who hit last Friday’s EuroMillions jackpot, did not show up for work on Monday morning after spending the weekend coming to terms with their huge win.

Gareth Quinn, Area Manager for Dublin Bus, revealed that all 22 employees - 21 senior drivers and one inspector - who shared the 23.8m-euro (£19.9m) jackpot, were absent from the Broadstone depot in Phibsborough, minutes from the city centre.

Mr Quinn said: “None of them was at work this morning and we’ve got no problem with that.

Best of luck to them.”

Other Dublin Bus drivers expressed delight for their colleagues. One employee, who did not

want to be named, said: “None of them is here today, and they won’t be back in until later in the week. I certainly wouldn’t be here if I’d won a million quid.”

The National Lottery tweeted: “Okay, so we didn’t win the Euros (football) but we did win the EuroMillions!

Ticket-holder has been in touch!”

John Cassidy, who works with the lucky syndicate members at the Broadstone depot, told RTE’s The Ryan Tubridy Show about his own syndicate win in the office…126 euros.

“We’re delighted for them, absolutely thrilled,” he said. “It’s just great news. Our syndicate had the win on Tuesday. We had four out of the six numbers. We’d have won 15m euros if the six had come in.”

There was an overwhelming feeling of delight among the people in Phibsborough at the syndicate’s win.

Tina Mooney, from Ballymun, said: “There’ll be no buses running today, I’d say. It’s great to hear that a big group of working-class people have won it.

“Fair play to them if you’re not in it, you can’t win it. The people in Dublin Bus work hard, so I’m delighted for them.”

Patricia Kavanagh, from Meekstown, added: “It’s a lot of money all right, so it’s good that it’s split between a few of them. They must be over the moon.

“The only thing is, I hope my bus is still going to turn up today.

It’s terrific to see 22 ordinary people become millionaires overnight.”

But Brigid Dempsey, from Finglas, said: “I wouldn’t be quitting my job anyway - a million would be would be gone in the drop of a hat.

Once you buy a house, go on a few holidays and buy a car, you’d soon use it up.”

Evans puts brake on Top Gear flop

CHRIS Evans, the larger-than-life Top Gear presenter, has quit after one series, following heavy criticism and poor viewing figures for the revamped BBC series.

Evans tweeted: “Stepping down from Top Gear. Gave it my best shot but sometimes that’s not enough.

“The team are beyond brilliant, I wish them all the best.”

He added in a statement: “I have never worked with a more committed and driven team than the team I have worked with over the last 12 months.

“I feel like my standing aside is the single best thing I can now do to help the cause. I remain a huge fan of the show, always have been, always will be.

“I will continue to focus on my radio show and the allied events that it encompasses.”

Mark Linsey, director of BBC Studios, confirmed

that he’d turned his back on the show, saying: “Chris is stepping down from his duties on Top Gear. He says he gave it his best shot doing everything he could to make the show a success.

“He firmly believes that the right people remain, on both the production team and presenting team to take the show forward and make it the hit we want it to be.”

Linsey added: “The new series has so far notched up over 30 million views in the UK alone and has already been sold to 130 territories worldwide.”

Top Gear ended its new series last Sunday with its lowest audience to date. An average of 1.9 million viewers watched Evans’ final programme - 8.6% of the available audience.

Yet more than four million viewers tuned into the opening episode.

Evans has been sensitive to the falling rat-

ings, telling his 2.3 million Twitter followers: “Overnight, television viewing figures for Top Gear have never been less relevant.”

He wrote in June: “Top Gear audience grew throughout the hour.

FACT. Won its slot.

FACT. Still number one on i Player. FACT. These are THE FACTS folks.”

Former Top Gear presenter Sue Baker says she’s not really surprised by Evans’ decision, saying it “really wasn’t working”.

She told Sky News: “He never seemed entirely comfortable with what he was doing, and I think he was outshone by some of the newer presenters.”

It is unclear whether the rest of the current Top Gear line-up, including former Friends actor Matt LeBlanc, racing-driver Sabine Schmitz and F1 pundit Eddie Jordan, will continue.

Inheritance Tax – the Voluntary Tax Hands up who likes paying tax?

When you earn money it gets taxed: Income Tax When you sell an asset which has appreciated in value it gets taxed: Capital Gains Tax When you’ve worked hard, saved up, invested wisely and want to pass your wealth on to your children or beneficiaries it gets taxed: Inheritance Tax Everyone has been subject to at least one of the above taxes, mostly the first two which are difficult to mitigate.

But the third, inheritance tax, can be avoided if careful tax planning is put in place.

Take a look at the following which might help you leave your assets free of inheritance tax to your children or designated beneficiaries.

This is just one strategy open to and used by clients of Sebastian & St James. Other options exist which will be discussed in future editions of Canarian Weekly.

One way to mitigate inheritance tax is by using an Excluded Property Trust An Excluded Property Trust is designed for people who are currently non-UK domiciled.

Domicile is a legal concept an is initially decided at birth, normally as the permanent home of your father. However, as an adult your domicile may change, for example, if you settle permanently or indefinitely in another country. Also, for UK inheritance tax purposes, you will be treated as UK domiciled once you have been a tax resident in the UK

for 17 out of the last 20 tax years.

So, if you think that, in the future, you may become UK domiciled or this 17year trigger point could apply, then the EPT could be suitable for you.

The trust could also be useful even if your domicile does not change, or if your beneficiaries are UK domiciled. In this case it may help to reduce the inheritance tax liability arising at their deaths.

What is an Excluded Property Trust?

The Excluded Property Trust (EPT) provides a way of protecting investments held outside the UK while you are non-UK domiciled so that, even if your status changes in the future, you will not be liable to UK inheritance tax on death.

The trustees have full control over the investments and are able to make payments to any beneficiary, including you as settlor, at any time.

The trust can also provide inheritance tax protection for beneficiaries, even if they are UK domiciled. The investments will not form part of their estates until

actually distributed to them, so any assets which remain in the trust will not be liable for UK inheritance tax.

What advantages does the EPT offer? · No UK inheritance tax to pay on investments within the trust. (Assumes the only investments within the trust are International Investment bonds.) · You are also a trustee and remain in control. · Trustee access to the trust investments at any time for the clients and beneficiaries. · The opportunity to take taxefficient regular withdrawals from the trust.

(Any withdrawals taken will reduce the value of the bond. If the withdrawals are more than any overall growth achieved, the value of the bond will reduce below the level of the original capital invested.) · The trustees have full control over the investments in the trust. · Diverse investments within these bonds, helping to spread risk.

How does the EPT work in practice?

Example: Maria is currently non-UK domiciled, but has lived

in the UK for several years.

Even if she remains non-UK domiciled, once she had been a UK tax resident for 17 years she will be treated as UK domiciled for Inheritance Tax purposes, meaning her worldwide assets will be liable to UK inheritance tax.

She has an estate worth £1 million, which she wants to leave to her children. She is not married or in a civil partnership.

Taking no action: · When Maria died, she was treated as UK domiciled for inheritance tax · Of her estate of £1 million, the first £325,000 was free of tax, using her “nil rate band” allowance (tax year 201/2016). The remaining £675,000 was taxable at 40%. · This meant a UK inheritance tax bill on Maria’s estate of £270,000, which her children had to pay before getting their inheritance.

Using the Excluded Property Trust: · While she was non-UK domiciled, Maria invested £675,000 in an International Investment Bond, which she put into the Excluded Property Trust · At the time of her death, she

was treated as UK domiciled for inheritance tax. · Her total estate was worth £1 million: £675,000 in her International Investment Bond and £325,000 outside it. · Her International Investment Bond was not liable for inheritance tax because it was in the trust. The remaining £325,000 was covered by her nil rate band allowance (tax year 2016/2017) · As a result, her children had no UK inheritance tax to pay – a saving of £270,000 · The children, who are UK domiciled, can receive money from the trust as they need it, but any that remains in the trust when they die will also be free of UK inheritance tax.

This example illustrates the use of the trust in relation to UK inheritance tax. It does not take into account of any local tax that might arise in other countries.

How is it set up?

There are three main rules to follow to ensure that trust investments will be outside the UK inheritance tax provisions. · You must not be, or be treated as, UK domiciled when you set up the trust. · The trust must not include

any UK-based assets. · If you later become UK domiciled, or treated as UK domiciled for inheritance tax purposes, you must not put any further money or assets into the trust.

The trust is set up to run for 125 years. After your death, it can be continued, with the assets remaining within it, or it can be wound up by the trustees and the assets distributed to the beneficiaries.

IMPORTANT If what you have read above interests you or you think that you have, or might have an inheritance tax liability then please contact us to discuss your circumstances in more detail. The above is an overview of the EPT and might or might not suit your current circumstances or tax position. Inheritance tax is a complex issue and all facts and information need to be considered before any action is taken. If you require more information, please call or email us.

Horror as car-bomb kills women and kids A MASSIVE lorry-bomb attack

by ISIS, which happened on Saturday in Iraq, claimed more than 200 victims, including women and many children, who were inside a multistorey shopping and amusement mall.

The lorry, packed with explosives, blew up in a busy shopping street,

which was also filled with people after they had broken their Ramadan fast. It targeted the centre of Baghdad and is understood to be one of the deadliest bombings since the beginning of the Iraq War, in 2003.

The bloodshed occurred in a mostly-Shiite Baghdad district, following last week’s ISIS-inspired attacks in Turkey and Bangladesh in the Muslims’ holy month of Ramadan.

And during this period, the terrorist group’s leaders have urged their followers to bring pain

to “infidels everywhere”.

A police officer said that dozens of people had burned to death or suffocated, and there were fears that the death toll could rise yet further as bodies were pulled out of the rubble.

Hundreds of other people were also wounded in the attack, which focused on the Karada district that, typically, bustles with activity during Iftar - an evening meal in which many break their fast.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered new

security measures in Baghdad in response to the bombing, and three days of national mourning were declared.

The US State Department released a statement condemning the attack, saying: “We condemn in the strongest possible terms the terrorist attacks carried out by Da’esh in shopping districts in Baghdad. Many women and children were killed as they broke fast for the holy month of Ramadan.”

But anger is growing rapidly in Baghdad over the government’s failure to protect its people from these devastating attacks.

Many Iraqis blame their political leadership for security lapses in Baghdad, which have allowed large amounts of explosives to make their way past multiple checkpoints and into neighbourhoods packed with civilians.

“All the politicians in Iraq are responsible for these blasts, including Abadi,” a woman in Karada told local media.

“If it isn’t ISIL, it’s al-Qaeda, and if it isn’t the two, it’s the

US gun-range tragedy A TEENAGER, shot and killed by his father accidentally at a Florida gun range, has had a memorial fund in his name set up by his mother to cover the funeral expenses.

Stephen, aged 14 and the fourth of seven children, died in hospital after his father, William Brumby, tried to retrieve a shell casing from inside his shirt and, unintentionally, fired the weapon at him.

Elizabeth Brumby, who described Stephen as a “meteor that couldn’t be contained”,

wrote on a Gofundme page dedicated to him that he loved fishing, tennis, music, archery and knife-throwing.”

She added: “He had an insatiable appetite to learn and was constantly sharing his wisdom with those around him.

“He was passionate about his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and dedicated his life to sharing his hope with everyone he met.

“The family’s only comfort is knowing that he is communing with the heroes of his faith

and rejoicing in paradise.”

She added: “Your generous gifts and donations will help with the expenses the family is now faced with.”

No charges have been filed against Mr Brumby, but police say they are continuing their investigation after reviewing a video of the shooting.

They say Mr Brumby was firing his weapon at the High Noon Gun Range in Sarasota on Sunday when a spent shell-casing deflected off a nearby wall and landed inside the back of his shirt.

As he tried to remove the shell with his right hand, which was still holding the gun, he accidentally fired at his son, who was standing behind him.

filthy, corrupt politics in this country.

“We are being targeted while they are sitting safe and sound in their palaces. They are the ones who are allowing ISIL to come here and murder people.”

Last June, the terror group also used Rama-

dan as a calling card to kill. An ISIS-inspired gunman killed 39 people at a beach resort in Tunisia, a bombing in Kuwait killed 27, and hundred of civilians were slaughtered in a massacre that took place in the Kurdish-held city of Kobani.

FBI won’t prosecute Clinton over emails THE American FBI group is referring a probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of her private email to prosecutors, - but it won’t recommend that criminal charges be levelled at the Democrats’ presidential candidate.

The decision lifts a major legal threat to the former US secretary of state’s campaign.

But James Comey, FBI director, said the investigation had uncovered “extremely careless” behaviour by Mrs Clinton and her staff.

It is even possible that “hostile” forces may have gained access to Mrs Clinton’s personal email account, he said.

But, outlining the agency’s findings at a news conference, Mr

Comey concluded that “no charges are appropriate”.

He added: “Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgement is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”

Mrs Clinton, “pleased” with the decision, conceded that her use of personal mail was a

“mistake”. But she now considers the matter resolved.

Donald Trump, her Republican Presidential rival, who had called for criminal charges, reacted by tweeting: “The system is rigged”.

Less than two hours after the legal cloud had been lifted, Hillary, wife of former President Bill, boarded Air Force One with outgoing leader Barack Obama for a joint campaign in North Carolina.

The White House said that Obama didn’t plan to address the FBI investigation as he campaigned with her.

The FBI announcement came three days after agents interviewed Mrs Clinton about the possible mishandling of classified information.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch said last week that she would accept the recom-

mendations of the FBI director, and of career prosecutors. This means Mr Comey’s decision almost certainly brings the legal part of the issue to a close, removing the threat of criminal charges.

However, it is unlikely to erase many voters’ concerns about Mrs Clinton’s trustworthiness. And it probably won’t stop Mr Trump from continuing to make the private email server a campaign issue.

She has repeatedly said that no email she sent or received was marked classified. But the Justice Department began investigating last summer, following a referral from the intelligence community.

The scrutiny was compounded by a blistering audit in May from the State Department’s internal watchdog. It said that Mrs Clinton and

her team ignored clear warnings from department officials that her email set-up violated federal standards.

It said the email setup could leave sensitive material vulnerable to hackers.

Mrs Clinton, bidding to become the first female US President in history, had a “voluntary” meeting with federal agents at the FBI’s Washington DC headquarters last Saturday, spanning 3½ hours.

She apologised for using a private account exclusively from her New York home during her four years as America’s top diplomat.

She also handed over 30,000 emails to the State Department, but deleted another 30,000 which, she said, were “personal”.

The scandal had dogged her campaign for more than a year, but her spokesman, Nick Merrill, said: “She

is pleased to have had the opportunity to assist the Department of Justice in bringing this review to a conclusion”.

But it was hardly ideal for Democrats to have their standard-bearer grilled by the FBI, just weeks before she accepts the party’s presidential nomination formally.

The FBI interview came amid revelations that Attorney Lynch held an impromptu meeting last week with her husband at the airport in Phoenix, Arizona.

News of the exchange triggered a political uproar, but Ms Lynch vowed to “accept” the recommendations of the FBI and prosecutors’ on whether to charge Mrs Clinton.

But she admitted the private encounter with Bill Clinton had “cast a shadow” over the emails’ probe.

ELECTRICITY FRAUD

By Mariano Zunino Siri

ONE of our readers has asked me about the electricity fraud and its implications, according to Spanish Law. Apparently, he has learned that many cases have been discovered during the last year.

According to article 255 of the Spanish Criminal Code: “The one who commits fraud will be punished with a fine of 3 to 12 months, for using electric power, gas, water, telecommunications or other ways or fluids, through any of the following methods:

*The use of installed mechanisms for the fraud *The malicious alteration of the indicator of measure devices *The use of any other clandestine means The electricity fraud

has always existed although, nowadays, the methods have been developed. Needless to say, the fraud involves not only electricity but also water and gas, plus other type of fluids or clandestine

Brexit could be costly to Spain THE Canarian Government has created a working group to “monitor” the effects of Brexit on the Archipelago, because the UK’s vote to leave the European Union has raised many possible consequences.

These include the loss of between eight and nine billion euros of funding for the regions (ORs).

Canaries President Fernando Clavijo (pictured) has already chaired a meeting of its Advisory Committee, and this working group will be co-ordinated by Pedro Ortega, Minister of Economy, Industry, Trade and Knowledge.

The next meeting will be at the end of July, when the frequency of the meetings will be decided: weekly, monthly or quarterly.

At the Advisory Committee meeting, they agreed to ask the Span-

ish Government to allow the Canaries to be present in the working group looking at national issues because, according to Clavijo: “We must be present and attentive to see how the negotiating process with the EU is going.”

He also wanted to send a “peace” message before the EU departure of the UK, since it is a “long process” and added that after the referendum shock, “things seem to return to normal and the stock markets are recovering”.

As for its possible impact on the ORs, Fernando Clavijo explained that the UK was a net contributor to the EU and its output could leave the budget around 8-9 billion euros short. That would make Spain a net contributor, he said.

Employers and trade unions have also expressed concerns about the Brexit, but they have welcomed the formation of the Canarian Government’s working group to keep track of it.

means. Article 256 of Criminal Code considers as fraud the use of telecommunication terminals without the consent of the owner, causing him economic damage.

To be considered a

crime, the fraud must exceed the amount of 400 euros; otherwise, it would be a misdemeanour with a fine of one to three months.

It is very important to bear in mind that with this type of fraud,

it is necessary to have the intention (knowledge) to commit a fraud and damages caused (not paying the electricity bill or paying less).

The active subject of the crime is not only the person who makes the connection but also the one who fraudulently uses the electricity (water, fluids), even if he did not install the system.

This means, the one who takes advantage of the fraud (and is aware of it).

The passive subject could be the electricity supplier or the legal user, depending who has been damaged by the fraudulent use.

For example, using the Internet service of a neighbour without consent (he would be the passive subject).

Mastercard fighting a £19bn damages claim MASTERCARD could be landed with a record-breaking damages claim of £19bn for, allegedly, imposing “anti-competitive” charges on consumers.

It is the highest claim in UK legal history, and some 40 million people could be in line for compensation, according to lawyers, with some pay-outs of £100 or more.

The class action case suggests the company infringed EU law by imposing charges, known as “interchange” fees, on the use of MasterCard debit and credit cards.

It says the Mastercard’s fees were “illegal” and set at an “anti-competitive, high level”.

Walter Merricks, the

consumer representative fronting the case, believes that as a result, UK consumers, including cash purchasers and not just MasterCard holders, are out of pocket.

He said the fees were a significant cost for retailers, then passed on through increased prices of goods and services.

Mr Merricks told Sky News: “I want consumers to know that it is possible to take on a large organisation that has behaved badly.

“The prices of everything we all bought from 1992 to 2008 were higher than they should have been, as a result of the unlawful conduct of MasterCard.

“This case should

send a signal to companies breaking competition laws at the expense of UK consumers that they do so at their financial peril.”

But in a statement, MasterCard said it “firmly disagrees with the basis of this legal claim”.

The company added: “MasterCard is committed to providing ever-more convenient, safe and secure payments to all our customers, including consumers, retailers, governments and banks.”

The case, to be heard before the Competition Appeal Tribunal, a specialist court which hears competition-law disputes, should begin in September.

It is one of the first big tests of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, which enables a collectivedamages claim to be brought on behalf of a class of people who have suffered loss.

Under the new rules, all UK consumers who have lost out automatically become part of the group of claimants - unless they opt-out, explicitly.

100-Year-Old Drivers: Rebooted

Don't Miss...

Wednesday 13th July, ITV1, 20.00 “I was born on 29th of February 1916, and I’ve only had 25 birthdays so I like to think I’m only 25. I don’t fancy this title of 100.” - Centenarian Jock Stares This returning two-part documentary for ITV hits the road with some of Britain’s oldest drivers to discover why and how they still get behind the wheel.

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

This programme hears first-hand from those aged over 100, from those heading towards the milestone age and from their families about their motoring habits.

It also explores whether elderly motorists should be regularly re-tested on their skills. But as this vivid portrayal of elderly drivers finds out, prising car keys from the hands of a senior motorist can be the most difficult step of all - potentially depriving them of their freedom and independence.

The first episode features some of the most ambitious centenarian drivers yet, such as Harry Kartz, 102, who is determined to stay on the road despite the fact he can barely hear. He says: “The brain’s alright.

The body… I’m not too good walking. I don’t think [hearing]is that important - better to have good eyesight.”

Meanwhile, Alan Higgins, 92, undertakes an epic journey. He wants to track down a girl he met 75 years ago during the war. He sets off with granddaughter Clara to Russia, through crowded cities and across frozen wilderness, facing the perils of the most dangerous roads in Europe, insisting he drive despite her reservations. He says: “Well, I don’t know, I hope I’ll be able to drive up there. When I drove from Barry to here, I was the only car on the road, driving through all the hardened snow and what have you… Snow is snow.”

Jock Stares, 100, has had a lifelong love affair with motorcycles - and still goes out on his scooter every day. He bombs around the Gower Peninsula in Wales, visiting care homes to play classic piano tunes for what he describes as ‘the old folk,’ despite the fact most are younger than he is. He says: “I’ve always fallen in love with being on two wheels, it’s the next best thing to being able to fly. Because you go through the cool air effortlessly. It’s like a drug really, you become addicted to it.”

Thrill-seeking 95-year-old ex-commando Tom Lackey can’t drive since he had a stroke and has to use a scooter, but now gets his kicks by taking to the air - wing-walking. He says: “I do feel very trapped, I do feel contained. It does make me feel like an old man when I’m in the scooter.

“I suppose anything you do up in the air especially standing on top of an aeroplane, you’re taking a risk, but I appreciate that, and I suppose that’s part of the fun. The challenges are breathing properly and putting up with the air pressure against you.. The ladies will never need a facelift when they’ve had a wing walk, because you won’t have a crease left in your face.”

Back down on earth is 99-year-old Mary Ellis, who flew Spitfires in the Second World War before turning her hand to rally-driving. She’s on a quest to track down her beloved Allard K1 rally car, and says: “Well, everything at 99 is that much slower. But only a teeny weeny bit.

“I can never ever forget the Allard, which was a soulmate, because it becomes part of [you]. I have missed it, I’ve missed it terribly. I still miss it and I do wish it was here. It would mean an awful lot if I could drive it again before I die because it would bring back so many lovely memories.”

Six years after Nasa beamed a powerful signal to an Earthlike planet outside our solar system, we get a response.

But the extraterrestrials don’t send a message: they come calling, landing five huge amphibious spacecraft in the Pacific, just as a US/Japanese naval exercise has begun.

The visitors initially just seem wary, but after a panicked reaction from our warships, they reassess humans as hostile and respond ferociously.

And so it falls to hot-headed US Navy officer Lieutenant Alex Hopper, his older brother Commander Stone Hopper and commander of the fleet Admiral Shane to try to defeat a threat that is greater than they first think.

Wimbledon: Ladies Final BBC1, 13.00

Sue Barker introduces live coverage of the 123rd ladies final at Wimbledon.

Last year, Serena Williams became the oldest woman to win a Grand Slam singles title in the Open era, aged 33. It was her sixth Wimbledon crown and 21st major title overall – the third most of all time.

Williams has been defeated in the final at both the Australian and French Open in 2016, to first-time Grand Slam champions Angelique Kerber and Garbine Muguruza respectively. For Spaniard Muguruza, the French Open title underlined her continued emergence since reaching her first Grand Slam final at Wimbledon last year.

Desperate to put her college education to good use, she decides to interview her best friend’s housekeeper, but she is not the only one with a tale to tell. Soon most of the town’s help is coming forward, but they are all at risk in a country on the brink of huge social change.

John Craven meets a farmer who is growing Chinese vegetables and produce, from pak choi to chrysanthemums, and Adam Henson is at the Royal Three Counties show, meeting youngsters with the farming bug.

Exodus: Our Journey To Europe

8th July - 14th July 2016

M o nday

BBC2, 21.00

Twelve months ago, the production team started following the journeys of people attempting to reach Europe, escaping war, poverty or persecution. They filmed where regular film crews could not go: on the inflatable dinghies crossing from Turkey to Greece, in the back of lorries entering the Eurotunnel, or on open trucks driven by people smugglers across the Sahara.

Episode one begins as hundreds of thousands of refugees from Syria arrive in the Turkish port of Izmir. We meet 11 year old Isra’a, selling black-market cigarettes so that her extended family can pay smugglers to take them across the Mediterranean on a dinghy. But as they hear stories of more and more people drowning, her father Tarek is no longer sure if he can risk his children’s lives.

Meanwhile, 27 year-old Hassan, who is fleeing imprisonment and torture in his native Damascus, is desperate to make the crossing at all costs. He puts his life, and those of his travelling companions, in the hands of smugglers and boards a dinghy. As the over-crowded boat begins to take on water, the passengers face a life and death decision.

In Syria, we film 24 year-old Anas as he prepares to leave the shattered city of Aleppo, with snipers firing at his departing taxi as he heads towards the Turkish border. And we meet Ahmad who, having left his wife and young family behind, is racing to get to Britain so he can get them out of their besieged town in Syria. But he’s stalled on Kos, as the Greek island is overwhelmed and the authorities struggle to cope.

Wild France with Ray Mears ITV1, 20.00 Ray Mears visits The Vanoise National Park in the high Alps. Here he meets local goat herder Audrey who enlists his help moving her goats up to summer pastures. He explores the seasonal nature of the mountain and how humans and wildlife have adapted to the altitude and extremes of weather.

He meets local park ranger Alex who take him up to see some ibex.

He gets up close to see ibex jousting and hopping down the sheer cliff faces. Further up the mountain he enlists the help of donkeys to carry his kit.

During his trek Ray comes across playful marmots, enjoying the sunshine before making his way to the very top of the mountain to find one of the rarest birds in Europe, the bearded vulture.

Ray explores the geography, flora and fauna of six dramatic French landscapes. The high mountain ranges of the Alps, the coastal waters of the Brittany, the chestnut forests of the Cevnnes, the caves and gorges of the Ardeche, the wet-lands of Camargue and the rolling lavender plains of Provence’s unique maquis landscape. Across the series Ray explores the dramatic physical geography of each region; its topography, its climate and its extreme weather conditions. He tracks down and identifies the key wildlife species that live there and how they have adapted. He introduces us to animals with an ancient history with the land such as wolves and vultures as well as more unexpected and exotic wildlife such as pink flamingos and dolphins.

Red Rock BBC1, 13.45

Red Rock is a new continuing drama from Ireland based around a busy Garda station, which charts the life and dramas of a community through the eyes of those who police it.

Darren Kiely is discovered by the pier, badly beaten. The Garda hope this is not a fresh feud between the Hennessys and the Kielys, but it is soon obvious Michael Hennessy has something to hide about the attack.

Meanwhile, the return of a familiar face can only mean trouble...

Sharon Cleere is asked to deliver tragic news about the daughter of a dying man. Bridget Kiely persuades her youngest, Keith, to kill Michael Hennessy.

David Hennessy decides to go to the wake of Darren Kiely.

A strange woman comes into the bar asking to dance with David Hennessy. Who is she and how can she help the Garda solve a spate of burglaries?

Katie Kiely looks for a job, and that could mean trouble.

Sharon discovers that the girl Brian was kissing is only 15.

Money has gone missing from the bar and Patricia Hennessy thinks she knows who took it.

Sharon shows the CCTV footage of Brian kissing schoolgirl Rachel to Paudge, whose tenant trouble proves an embarrassing distraction.

A row over a lease looks likely to become a tinderbox with racist overtones. Can the Garda cool the situation down?

Bridget makes a discovery in Darren’s bedroom.

Dave Myers swaps filo pastry for bricks and mortar as he joins construction firm William Anelay to restore the buildings that have made Britian great. Dave Myers visits is in South Yorkshire to visit one of Doncaster’s finest buildings, the Mansion House. One of only five ever built in the UK, it was designed to attract the cream of society to Doncaster. The Grade I-listed building is undergoing a £300,000 renovation as the roof is in need of repair and the facade has lost its sparkle. It was construction firm William Anelay’s first commission in the 1740s and they are back on site to make the repairs, with Dave’s help. Dave also discovers why Doncaster was a top destination for nobility in the 18th century, visiting its famous race course, home to one of Britain’s most prestigious horse races, the St Ledgers Cup.

Saving Lives At Sea BBC1, 21.00

Every day around the UK an army of unpaid volunteers put their lives on the line to try and save complete strangers.

Saving Lives At Sea tells the story of the ordinary men and women of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) who, across the country, are ready to launch their boats and race to the rescue within minutes of a cry for help - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, whatever the weather.

Over 150 years the volunteers of the RNLI have saved the lives of more than 140,000 people. The winter months are the most treacherous for the people they are called upon to rescue, and for the volunteers themselves.

In the first episode, a retired nursery teacher gets herself into danger after attempting to rescue her two dogs after they became cut off by the rising tide.

In Wales, one volunteer crew member is washed off a cliff into the sea trying to rescue a concussed spear fisherman, and in Blackpool a rescue in a force seven gale goes badly wrong, putting all three crew members’ lives in jeopardy.

When torrential floods hit Cumbria shortly before Christmas, the volunteers are again on hand to try and rescue families trapped by the rising waters.

Long Lost Family ITV1, 21.00

The award-winning documentary series returns to ITV for a brand new series, as presenters Davina McCall and Nicky Campbell reunite more family members with their missing loved ones.

The sixth series of this much loved programme promises more extraordinary and heart-breaking stories, with some unexpected outcomes, reflecting the difficult twists and turns of real life that’s not always “happy ever after”.

From an adoption in a developing country in the 1980’s, to the shocking world of Magdalene Laundries in 1960’s Ireland, to using the newest family finding tool of DNA testing, the series explores new territory and tackles some of the most difficult social history of family separation through compelling and touching personal stories. Across seven new episodes the programme scours the globe, traveling from New Zealand and Australia, to South America and Switzerland, as well as the length and breadth of the UK. Davina and Nicky track down and reunite family members, some of whom have been tirelessly searching for years, others who have spent their whole lives not even knowing that their relatives exist.

With guidance and support throughout, the programme joins fathers, mothers, daughters, sons and siblings as they uncover extraordinary family secrets. Although there are unpredictable turns along the way, this life-affirming series witnesses how being reunited with long lost family, or getting the answers to lifelong questions, can transform people’s lives.

In episode one there are two ground-breaking cases for Long Lost Family: an overseas adoption from Ecuador, and a complex search using DNA analysis. The first story is of two adopted people, born on opposite sides of the world, who make an unbelievable discovery during their search that nobody could have predicted.

Britain’s Weirdest Council Houses More 4, 22:00

They say an Englishman’s home is his castle. But they didn’t say he necessarily had to own it. Britain’s Weirdest Council Houses meets the tenants who have gone the extra mile to turn their local authority lodgings into unique homes: from the painterdecorator who transformed his Brighton terrace into a replica of the Sistine Chapel, to the pensioner who spent decades recreating the interior of a merchant navy ship in his flat on the 11th floor of a tower block in Portsmouth. This oneoff programme celebrates eccentric British taste and the lengths to which some proud council tenants go to make a mark on the place where they live. Behind their unusual design choices, each tenant has a surprising story to tell about how they came to live in their homes and what drove them to create their fantasy interiors.

The Investigator: A British Crime Story ITV1, 21.00

Mark Williams-Thomas returns to ITV for an explosive and ground-breaking new investigative series that shows how real life crime can be far more compelling than fiction.

Williams-Thomas, the award-winning former police detective who unmasked Jimmy Savile as the UK’s most notorious paedophile, re-examines a previously ‘closed’ and chilling murder case, which has baffled detectives for more than 30 years.

The murder of Carole Packman, whose body has never been found, continues to affect the lives of many of those involved and as Williams-Thomas discovers, the shocking tale of murder, fraud, deceit and lies has left family members desperate for answers.

In a UK television first, The Investigator: A British Crime Story, will follow the case over four explosive episodes, combining stylized drama with compelling documentary.

In June 1985 the wife and mother mysteriously disappeared and has never been seen since. Her husband Russell Causley is now serving a life sentence for her murder, yet no body has ever been found. Throughout the case he pleaded his innocence and refused to talk.

During his investigation, Mark sets out to piece together evidence in a bid to find the truth. He says: “Even though this case is 30 years on – I’m still convinced there’s an awful lot more to find out. And I have no doubt there are people out there who hold vital clues. They hold the missing pieces to the puzzle.”

In the first episode, the couple’s daughter Sam explains why she got in touch with the investigator. She says: “I’ve got a lot of questions that remain unanswered. My father is serving life for her murder. And I need to know where my mother is. I need to know what exactly happened, if I can. What happened to my mother in June, 1985. My father won’t talk to me, he won’t engage with me.”

Great Continental Railway Journeys BBC2, 19:00

Steered by his 1913 Bradshaw’s Guide, Michael Portillo returns to Spain to trace the early 20thcentury roots of the Spanish Civil War, which divided his Spanish family and sent his father into exile. He discovers a nation fractured at the time by social tensions and regional loyalties, which today offers a rich diversity of cultures to delight the tourist.

Special dispensation to fly to the Balearic island of Mallorca allows Michael to spoil himself rotten with spectacularly scenic rides aboard a sublime 1912 vintage railway and a 1913 tram. On his travels, he is trampled underfoot at the bottom of a Catalan people steeple and learns to make the perfect paella. He pays homage to the genius of Barcelona’s most famous architect and meets the man responsible for finishing off Antoni Gaudi’s life’s work. And he discovers a beautiful art nouveau Palace of Music with an emotional history.

An option to share your experience with friends can be had on many rides at Siam. The Dragon will let you share a “Zero Gravity” experience with friends and family, as will the Vulcano and the Kinnakee, the latest addition.

The Jungle Snakes and The Giant are tandem rides, as is the Mai Thai River rapids, where you can choose between the thrill-seekers’ route or a lazily chillax throughout the ride.

The Wave Palace at Siam Beach is an absolute must. All ages can relax on the golden, sandy beach: dip your toes in the water or climb straight in and ride the wave machine.

By Vanessa Vee TENERIFE is home to two excellent water parks, namely Aqualand and Siam Park. Aqualand ruled the roost for years, but the tables seem to have turned since Siam Park’s arrival.

A question that often pops up is: “Which is the best one?” The answer is that many factors are involved, so what are the differences?

For me, having two young children, Aqualand gets the thumbs-up every time. That’s because, for the younger end of the market, there is a lot more choice of activities and rides available.

However, for an adult’sonly day, Siam Park would be my preference.

If cost is one of your concerns, then Aqualand is the cheaper of the two.

True, there is a two-euro charge to hire a sun-bed for the day, whereas, at Siam Park there is no fee.

Height is the main stipulation for Siam Park, and each ride has a minimum. Siam offers the amazing Tower of

huge, purpose-built playarea for the little ones. I must say the food on offer in Siam is excellent, with lots of variety, while Aqualand allows you to slip out to eat if you prefer, with free re-entry.

Aqualand, despite being a children’s paradise, has upped its game in the light of opposition and there are a lot more adrenaline rides on offer: Kamikaze slides, the Tornado, Twister Racer and the Flying Boats.

And, mirroring Siam Park, there is a Lazy River, racing chutes and a play-area for youngsters.

But Aqualand offers a free, daily Dolphin Show, There is so much more, and I have touched on them only slightly. But go see for yourself! Free buses for both parks tour the resorts on a frequent basis, if you wish.

Alternatively, car-parking is available, though limited.

How heat affects cars

By Emma at Motorworld

THOSE of us who come from “cold” countries like the UK, Germany, Norway, Sweden, etc, will be aware of the problems posed to our vehicles by rain, frost and snow.

But hot climates can also cause your car problems, some of which will surprise and, perhaps, even shock you.

Here are some of the problems that excessive heat can cause to your car - and, or, to your actual driving.

We tend to take for

granted our warm climate for most of the year. But when summer comes and the temperature soars, cars can really suffer. The most vulnerable parts affected are tyres, brakes and shock-absorbers. These items are all crucial to enable the vehicle to keep moving, keep it under safe control and, of course, enable it to stop safely.

If you drive with your tyres at low pressure, you are more likely to have a blow-out. And this increases by some 60% in high temperatures, which will also shorten the length of the tyre’s life.

Also, you will probably notice an increase in fuel consumption. When the external heat is intense, from late June through to September, and occasionally at other times, an engine

can lose up to 15% of its power. And even more if it drives the cooling and air-conditioning unit.

Overheating of brakes can also cause a major problem. Anyone who watches, or has an interest in, Formula 1 or motor-sports, will know that this can increase the brake-fluid consumption.

It might also cause a

phenomenon known commonly as “fading”, which reduces the vehicle’s ability to slow down or, in some cases, fail to stop.

We must, therefore, be aware that all these factors are important for the safety of the driver, other drivers and passengers.

It is imperative that you check, or ask your

mechanic or garage to check, your tyres, shock-absorbers, oil, brakes, coolant levels and battery on a regular basis.

If you are planning a long journey, all lights and air-conditioning units should also be checked. Many people have their car serviced in the winter but do not account for summer temperatures, which can also cause problems that could be identified with a summer service.

Of course, most cars these days are fitted with air-conditioning as standard, and a regular problem in summer months is its failure to operate properly.

Many drivers do not use air-conditioning during the winter and, as the unit lays dormant, it can fail over time without being noticed.

Often, though, you may notice an unpleasant smell, possibly through failure of the air-conditioning to function.

I recommend that you have it checked at least once a year, and make sure the air-conditioning is used in the car at least once every month.

When it is working too hard, it could be putting a mechanical strain on the vehicle.

And air-conditioning set for an interior temperature of 20 degrees will, on average, increase fuel consumption by up to 20%.

Finally, if you are going on a long journey, make sure your car is loaded properly and safely. Do not exceed your permitted load-level, and distribute it as evenly as possible.

And, once loaded, check your tyres!

GET YOUR MOJO BACK

Beware painful E. coli infection

By Carl Pattison

By Val Sainsbury

“GORGEOUS hair!”

But when did you last have that said about your crowning glory?

When did someone last ask: “Who does your hair?”

If you have to think back a while to recall, it means it has been far too long ago. Your hair should be a talking topic for others, which earns you compliments and makes you feel good.

I hate it when people say that having their hair done is deemed a chore, or something that MUST be done.

It should be pleasure to have your hair done, and finding the right combination of salon stylist and price/range are the key factors for many clients.

Getting something done cheap and cheerfully will show in the results, and, for some, this is all they want.

But taking pride in your hair isn’t something you should lose

MIXED salad leaves, which had been contaminated, could have led to an E. Coli outbreak affecting more than 100 people in England, and a few in Wales and Scotland, say Public Health officials.

because you live in Tenerife, where fashion and styling, sometimes, is simply thrown out of the window.

There’s no law to say you must have your hair done, but there’s none, either, to say you can’t always look your best, hair-wise.

Before people look at what you are wearing, they look at your hair - and that’s a fact!

It’s not something you can just flip off because, if it’s not look-

ing too good, it needs to be maintained.

And if this means visiting the salon and keeping on top of it, this is necessary if you want those compliments to flow.

Hair doesn’t cut itself, and your roots aren’t going to look too good after a few months of re-growth. So let your stylist get your hair MOJO back … and give your head something to be proud to wear!

The E. coli O157 infection can cause a range of symptoms, from mild diarrhoea to bloody diarrhoea with severe abdominal pain.

And Public Health England (PHE), alerted to the outbreak at the end of June, is monitoring the situation carefully across the UK. Although the cause of the infection is not absolutely certain, preliminary investigations show that many of the people affected ate

FASHION BARGAINS, OR JUST MISTAKES?

By Carl Pattison

JUST in case you haven’t noticed, the summer Sales - or Rebajas, as we say here - are on!

This means you’re either interested and have already had a look, or you simply don’t want the bother.

If you love a bargain, maybe now is your chance to fish some out in the next few months.

Yes, the sales here last months, and the best time isn’t always the first few weeks.

As they draw on, prices come down even further, so keep bobbing in to check out the weekly, if not daily, reductions.

But as you scurry around, sorting through the rails, keep a few things in mind so you don’t mistake a bargain from a waste of money!

Ask yourself, “Would I buy this at full price”, or are you just buying it because it has been dis-

counted? Think about why that item didn’t sell at its original price in the first place. Maybe it’s because it wasn’t that nice in the first place!

Don’t go shopping on a whim and grab at anything that seems to be irresistible.

Consider what you will wear it with, and whether it will actually suit you - bargain or no bargain!

Remember, too, that stores are not always obliged to refund your money if you get the item home and change your mind.

The golden rule is to try everything on and make sure it’s what you really want, and whether it will do something for your appearance when you wear it.

A cheap dress in the sales can sometimes look just like that - “Cheap”.

So choose wisely and you can also join the happy shoppers.

salad, including rocket leaves, prior to getting sick.

Dr Isabel Oliver, director of PHE’s field epidemiology service, said: “At this stage, we are not ruling out other food items as a potential source.”

She said people could help protect themselves from possible infection by washing their hands before eating and handling food, and by thoroughly washing vegetables and salads they were preparing to eat.

E. coli O157 is found in the gut and faeces of many animals, particularly cattle, and can contaminate food and water. But outbreaks of O157 are rare compared with other foodborne diseases.

How to avoid being infected *Wash hands thoroughly after using the toilet, before and after handling food, and after handling animals *Remove any loose soil before storing vegetables and salads *Wash all vegetables and fruits to be eaten raw *Store and prepare raw meat and unwashed vegetables away from ready-to-eat foods *Do not prepare raw vegetables with utensils which have also been used for raw meat *Cook all minced-meat products, such as burgers and meatballs, thoroughly *People who have been ill should not prepare food for others for at least 48 hours after they have recovered

No more cute window pets? Sex spreads the Zika virus THE Spanish Government will soon debate an animal protection bill, which wants to ban the display of live animals inside pet shops and in their front windows, among other initiatives.

If passed, stores will no longer be allowed to showcase kittens and puppies in their windows as a way of luring customers.

This particular amendment to the larger bill, set to be debated on Thursday (14th July), was introduced

by Ciudadanos with support from Podemos and the Socialist Party (PSOE), against Popular Party (PP) opposition.

Another controversial item in the animal protection bill is the ban on live-pigeon shooting Ciudadanos says that prospective customers should purchase their pets through cata-

logues, on the internet or through other means that do not involve displaying live animals at pet shops.

But the bill does not specify which animal species the ban would affect.

Ciudadanos claims it encompasses all animals likely to be sold as pets - even birds, hamsters and fish.

But Socialist assembly member Rafael Gómez said it should be limited to dogs, cats and ferrets, “which are the animals that the law alludes to, and that’s why we supported this amendment”.

Alejandro Sánchez, of Podemos, shares the Socialists’ view, but he also adds that the way the bill stands now, “it means a complete ban”.

Meanwhile, acting Government leaders PP be-

lieves the measure will hurt the sector, which is made up mostly of medium and small businesses.

“There can be other options, and animals can be abandoned, no matter where you buy them,” said PP assembly member Elena González. But Ciudadanos re-presentative Enrique Veloso said that the point was to try to avoid impulsive purchases by customers, influenced by the “cute” factor.

In 2014, more than 140,000 dogs and cats were abandoned in Spain, according to a study by the Affinity Foundation. And Spanish shelters are said to take in an animal every five minutes.

Veloso does not see why pet shops should be ruined by the m o v e

“because they will keep selling through indirect means”.

Buyers will also receive a certificate guaranteeing that the purchase was legal and, that the animal was bred at licensed centres throughout the region.

Another controversial item in the animal protection bill is the ban on live-pigeon shooting, which is supported

by Ciudadanos, Podemos and the PSOE, but opposed by the PP, which feels things should remain as they are.

Right now, the regional government can issue licences to three shooting clubs in Madrid,” said a PP source.

“We’re talking about entrepreneurs and SMEs (Small & Medium Enterprises) being hurt by this.”

The bill also prohibits using wild animals in circus acts, and it establishes that abandoned animals may no longer be put down at municipal shelters.

THE first case of the Zika virus being sexually-transmitted in Spain - in the Community of Madrid - has been confirmed by the Health Ministry as the total number of cases rises to 167.

The other 166 cases - 22 of whom are pregnant women - were detected in people who had recently returned from affected countries, said the National Network of Epidemiological Vigilance in its latest statement, released on Monday. There are five in the Canary Islands, and, broken down by regions, 58 cases in Catalonia, Madrid (42), Aragón (13), Castile and León (11), Galicia and Valencia (7), Andalusia (5), Navarra and La Rioja and the Basque Country (4), Balearic Islands (3), Asturias and Murcia (2), and one in Castilla-La Mancha.

On Monday, Catalonia health officials confirmed the healthy birth to a mother in-

fected with the virus.

Spain has also registered two births with Zika-related microcephaly, in which babies are born with abnormally small heads and, sometimes, brain damage The current Zika outbreak began in early 2015 in Brazil, where some 1.5 million infections have been reported. Since then, the epidemic has spread to several other countries in the Americas.

Scientists believe the virus is responsible for a surge in Brazilian infants born with microcephaly.

There is no vaccine or treatment for the virus, which, in most people, causes mild symptoms only - a rash, joint pain or fever.

Several sportsmen and women, among them Spanish basketball player Pau Gasol, have expressed doubt over whether they will go to the 2016 Rio Olympics through fears of catching the Zika virus.

Cats Welfare news

Feline leukaemia: A death sentence?

FELINE Leukaemia Virus (FeLV) is the secondleading cause of death in cats, killing 85% of those infected within three years of diagnosis.

The virus causes various blood diseases and also suppresses the animal’s immune system, making it harder to protect against infection by bacteria, viruses or fungi found in our normal environment that wouldn’t affect healthy cats. But feline leukaemia doesn’t have to be a death sentence. Some 70% of cats who encounter the virus are able to resist infection, or eliminate the virus on their own.

The virus is transmitted through direct contact from cat to cat. It affects cats only and cannot be passed to people or other animals.

The primary route of transmission is through saliva and nasal secretions, but it is also present in the urine and faeces of infected cats.

Cat-to-cat transfer can occur through bite wounds, and also through grooming and mating. The virus lives outside its host for just

a few hours, and, because of this, transference through shared use of litter boxes and food dishes is not as common, but it can occur.

Cats living with infected cats, or with cats of an unknown infection status, are at the greatest risk of contracting the virus, which is why it’s important to get a new cat tested before exposing it to your existing feline family members.

All Cats Welfare adult cats are tested for the disease before homing.

Infected cats show one or more of the following symptoms: *Pale gums *Yellow colour in the mouth and whites of eyes *Enlarged lymph nodes *Bladder, skin, or upper respiratory infections *Kidney disease *Weight loss and/or loss of appetite *Poor coat condition *Recurring or chronic illness *Progressive weakness and lethargy *Fever *Diarrhoea *Breathing difficulty The problem is that one

or more of these symptoms could also be many other things, so the only way to be sure is to have your cat tested.

FeLV is diagnosed through a blood test that takes just a couple of minutes. It checks for the presence of FeLV antigens (any substance that causes your immune system to produce antibodies against it) in the blood.

The test is highly sensitive and can identify cats with very early infections. Many of these cats will manage to

clear the infection within a few months and will, subsequently, test negative.

A second blood test, called IFA, detects the second phase of the infection. Sadly, the majority of cats with positive results for this test remain infected for life and have a poor, longterm prognosis.

Tests on kittens less than six months old can give false readings so here at Cats Welfare, we test from six months onwards..

There is currently no

cure for feline leukaemia, and, in the past, euthanasia was usually recommended. Unfortunately, 85% of cats infected die within three years of diagnosis. But with regular veterinary check-ups and preventive health-care, they can live with good quality of life for quite some time.

Keeping your cat indoors is the only way to protect it completely from the feline leukaemia virus. Outdoor cats and indoor/outdoor cats should be given a leukae-

mia vaccine to minimise the risk of injection. It’s not expensive, and any vet can give the injection. And a positive feline leukaemia test does not have to be a death sentence.

Some cats may clear the virus themselves, and for others, proper care can lead to good quality of life for many years.

We have two kittens and one young adult cat available, which are leukaemia-positive and need a home. They are vaccinated, neutered and there is no adoption fee.

If you would like to have a no-obligation chat, or even meet them, ring or whatsapp Maria on 646 629 129 (7 days a week, 9am-6pm.

At the double We have lots of cats and kittens available for adoption. If you adopt two kittens, Cats Welfare will pay for the first year’s injections, microchip and neutering for the second kitten.

Black kittens are hard to home, so we also offer the first year’s kitten injections, microchip and neutering at no charge.

Tenerife weddings are a little different from those in the UK. A great example of that was the recent nuptials of long-time Tenerife resident Greg and his beautiful bride Kerry.

Over 100 friends and family members enjoyed their celebrations at the Hotel Casa Zaguan. This is situated in the square at Vilaflor, and is owned by Steve and Angie. Greg said “They were amazing hosts for the whole day and night. It is an amazing venue and they did us proud.” The guests partied hard with over 400 pints of beer and cider drunk in three hours! This saw the best man, ushers and helpers empty the local supermarket of everything alcoholic they had!

The happy couple wish to thank everyone who helped to make their day complete.

Free Adeje concert

TENERIFE Symphony Orchestra returns to Adeje tomorrow (Saturday) as part of a cycle of free chamber-music concerts.

It takes place in the Convento de San Francisco (beside the town hall), from 8pm.

The convent is considered an excellent choice for chamber music, because it has the ideal acoustics.

There are two sections: the first, a homage to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), and the second to Richard Strauss (1864-1949). All are welcome.

Super support from store los supermarket in La Laguna, and the public donated lots of food.

Major one-euro sale THERE will be a 50% reduction on all clothing at our Alcala Shop from Monday (11th July) until next Saturday. This means mostly everything on display will be just one euro.

There will also be a one-euro box containing shoes, belts, bags and other accessories.

The shop, in Alcala Plaza, next to the weekly market, opens each day from 10am until 2pm, and has become the refuge’s life support.

We require anything saleable, from books to bedroom suites, shoes to stereos … and everything else in between.

Small amounts can be taken to the kennels, where space is limited, or direct to the shop (both close at 2pm).

Larger items can be collected by contacting Muriel on 646 561 035.

We also need two more volunteers to assist in the shop. If you are available from 10am to 2pm on any day, please call Muriel, or pop into the shop.

Grateful thanks We really are thankful for all the regular support we receive from so many volunteers and supporters of all nationalities.

You help us in so many ways … from dog-walking, donations of bedding, sheets and towels, adoptions and even flying to Germany with the dogs on their way to new homes.

You also help ease the pain and suffering of some of the many strays, who may have endured years of physical and mental abuse.

Please call us on 922 778 630 if you can help in any way, or visit the refuge on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons, from 2-5pm, and Saturdays (1-4pm).

We have just returned home from a twoweek holiday in Los Cristianos, where we go twice a year, and have done for the last 12 years.

This time, we walked from Los Cristianos to Puerto Colon, which is something we have not done for a few years. What a difference - you can now see where all the money has been spent!

Once you pass the harbour, you can see a marked change because Los Cristianos is filthy. The streets are never cleaned, dogpoo is left everywhere and, on every post or corner, dog urine runs in streams.

It’s certainly not how I remember it when I first started going there, when the pavements and promenade were cleaned at night, and there was a guy who used to go round on a scooter, cleaning up the poo.

I cannot believe that a hotel like the Arona Gran has spent so much money upgrading when it is in such a tatty area.

Come on Arona Council, get you finger out and spend some money on Los Cristianos.

Norma Beard

Dear Editor, My family and I have been visiting Tenerife several times a year for in excess of 25 years, and we have always thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

We stay in Los Cristianos and congratulate the local council for the many improvements they have made over the years.

However, for the life of us, we can’t understand why on earth they don’t do something about the derelict buildings on the beaches.

We use the bars near the children’s playground, and the view of the harbour is blighted by a building which seems to deteriorate each time we visit. It is a disgrace, and now seems to be occupied by squatters.

There were problems last week when four local policemen arrived to deal with a lady living rough. I’m sure visitors don’t want to see that sort of thing while dining.

Can anyone shine any light on why this and other derelict monstrosities have not been demolished or upgraded?

Let’s hope we see some progress in this lovely area in the not-too-distant future.

Marilyns like it hot!

THE mercury has been steadily rising over the past few weeks here in Tenerife, and Division 2 outfit Marilyns B showed us that some like it hot as they cruised to the top of their league with a 6-2 win over the Playgirls.

Future stars of the silver screen, or silver trophy? We shall see! Emerald Lounge also hit six at Nauta Nomads to push up into second, while those Sundowners were held to a draw at Pas O Nadas B, whose Jo notched her second maximum.

Clouseaus nicked the trebles and victory over Bar 180 to go fourth, but a trebles leg loss to Rood saw The Tavern slipping to their first defeat of the campaign.

And the competitive match theme of last week just keeps on

coming, with Naughty Nautas holding the last rubber to tie with Bar Leones, and Waterfalls last-leg victory over Legends.

Despite Grizzly’s maximum, Gaffers held on, again via the last leg, to beat The Pub and remain top of the Division 1 pile.

That result would have given Pas O Nadas A the chance to take top spot, but even with a maximum from Steve Sub, they were held to a draw at local rivals Phoenix Bar, who really should have won.

Dave Mac struck his first 180, and they were well ahead in the trebles leg!

Talking of trebles legs, Spear Chuckers took theirs, and had Tommo firing in his third 180 as they beat the Playboys.

But Exiles left it until the last game with opponents Scruffy Macs to tie their match, despite Kev’s maximum.

The best of enemies!

IT is no secret that Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are far from “mates”, on or off the track. In fact, they are deadly enemies as far as motor-racing’s Formula One Championship is concerned.

True, they were close rivals and friends as youngsters, making their way rapidly through the motorsport grades from their early Karting days.

But Germany’s Rosberg is convinced he is the better driver, despite Hamilton’s three F1 titles.

The Brit won his first crown with McClaren in 2008 in his second season in the big-time, hav-

ing finished runner-up on his F1 debut. He has beaten Rosberg to the title in the last two seasons, and not without incident.

Sunday’s Austrian GP again demonstrated their bitter rivalry after Hamilton emerged from a last-lap crash with Rosberg - not of his making, according to him and the stewards to claim victory.

With this Sunday’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone looming ominously and Hamilton now just 11 points off championship leader Rosberg, he will be wearing an even bigger smile in front of his partisan home crowd than he did in Austria.

But things don’t always turn out easily for the slimline driver, who transcends the sport by

associating himself with film stars, rappers and supermodels.

He is almost a fixture at high-profile parties, premieres and fashion shows, but scratch beneath the surface of his dazzling lifestyle and he’s a born racer, a genuine crowd-pleaser.

Rosberg kicked off his

season in brilliant start, winning the first four races. But Hamilton soon got back in the mix with successive wins, and scraped through to his third victory in Austria.

But after being booed by the mainly GermanAustrian crowd, on the podium, Hamilton said: “He made a mistake

into Turn One and I had an opportunity to go around the outside in Turn Two. I left a lot of room on the inside and I guess he locked up and crashed into me.”

Naturally, Rosberg saw it differently. “Absolutely gutted,” he said. “We were battling and I was struggling a little with my brakes. I went a bit deep, but that is fine because I am on the inside so I can dictate. So I was surprised Lewis turned in and caused a collision. It’s unbelievable.”

The collision left Rosberg limping home fourth in his busted-up car, earning a stewards’ reprimand for driving with a damaged car, and 10-second penalty for causing the crash.

That verdict was backed by BBC F1 ana-

lyst Allan McNish, who was adamant that any blame for the collision must be attached to Rosberg.

Mercedes said Rosberg had experienced a brake-by-wire failure - which affects the rear axle - at the end of the penultimate lap. But team boss Toto Wolff initially described the collision as “brainless”.

Hamilton and Rosberg have crashed into each other twice in the last five races, and three times in the last 36. Their cars also made contact on the first corners in Australia and Canada this season.

And no matter what team boss Toto Wolff tells them, neither Rosberg nor Hamilton seem particularly inclined to listen.

Roll on Sunday!

Football heroes here TENERIFE has been busy this week with preseason training camps and soccer schools! And Chelsea star Pedro has been in town, coaching kids at his annual Fundación Pedro Rodríguez event in El Medano.

It is always a raging success and, this year, a couple of Pedro’s pals dropped in to surprise the youngsters.

His Chelsea teammate, Thibaut Courtois, who turned up on Wednesday, was mobbed by the kids and took an hour to sign autographs and pose for pictures.

The Belgian keeper also passed on some advice as he put a few of the young cats through their paces.

One parent, Ana Tejers, said: “I just loved it when the kids saw Courtois and they all started screaming! His presence left them and their parents very, very happy!”

Nuria Martin said: “My son came home from the camp with all his dreams fulfilled.

He couldn’t believe he had met his hero from Atletico Madrid (for whom Courtois use to play), and he made such a big deal of my son.

Thank you all!”

Courtois wasn’t the only special guest because Real Madrid striker Borja Mayoral and Osasuna midfielder Maikel Mesa, born in Santa Cruz, also surprised the youngsters.

The training camps, mainly football-based, also include other sporting activities. There are workshops on lifestyle choices and other informative sessions, such as skin-cancer prevention awareness.

Pedro’s Foundation has events all year round, covering the whole Island. The Spain international, a World Cup, European Championship, Cham-

pions League and La Liga winner, grew up here in Abades and

spends a lot of time on the charity. And he has a similar, week-long event in Gran Canaria next week.

Santa Cruz Council also ran a soccer school this week for disadvantaged kids, and Councillor Yolanda Moliné congratulated the organisers

for the successful event.

“It is important that kids have adequate leisure and free time, and, above all, have fun through sport,” she said.

“These events give them an insight into sport, and also teaches them many life-skills.

The coaches also inspire

them to achieve their goals.”

More than 50 children, aged between five and 14, participated under the watchful eye of national coach Alexis Jerez. CD Tenerife captain Suso Santana also dropped in to work with the kids over a number of sessions.

There was a different kind of football session in La Caleta this week.

The serious matter of pre-season training brought English League One side Rochdale to Tenerife for a third consecutive year.

The Lancashire outfit enjoy the facilities at Tenerife Top Training, where manager Keith Hill oversaw six days of hard graft. They trained twice a day, and all the players said they felt the benefit of the T3 facilities.

Rochdale were joined on Monday by Championship side Brighton.

Manager Chris Hughton always takes his team somewhere different before the start of the season, and, after hearing great reports about Tenerife, he brought the Seagulls here.

Brighton narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League last season, and they will be hoping to reach this promised land over the next 10 months.

They will be here until Sunday, when they will be replaced by Hartlepool, who will use the 3T facilities next week.

And its not just football teams who are using our facilities.

Rugby Union giants Gloucester will be also here at the end of the month.
