On the right track!

North-South railway details are explained in full THE proposed railway linking North and South Tenerife draws closer, and the answers to all those questions you want to ask about the project are now at hand.

A mobile booth has been travelling around the Island, bringing all the information on the multi-million-euro “light rail” installation, which will run between Santa Cruz and Costa Adeje.

It houses a detailed exhibition and is open from 10am8pm. The building has been installed in Los Cristianos for the past week and moves off to Candelaria after tomorrow and Adeje in the coming months.

The office, stationed in front of the Cultural Centre, was welcomed on its arrival by a host of dignitaries.

They included Tenerife Cabildo President Ricardo Melchior, Cabildo Economy chief Carlos Alonso and Arona’s Mayor, José Alberto González Reverón.

The centre offers visitors a wealth of information regarding numerous issues raised by the project, and you really must visit it if you need to know the finer details. Otherwise, go to www.trenesdetenerife.wordpress.com The travelling show is the latest in a number of moves over the past few years designed to keep residents up-to-date on the progress being made.

Pamphlets, wall-sized posters and projections of the exact route of the train are on show.

And personnel are on hand to answer your questions and resolve any doubts regarding

the route of the train - and its effi-ciency concerning public transport needs for the future.

Since beginning its journey in Santa Cruz last November, the stand has received well over 12,000 visitors, with many more anticipated.

It had already stopped at numerous points in the North, where some 3,507 people dropped in.

Later, when it pulled into the Plaza de España for a longer stay, just beside the ice rink during the Christmas period, more than 7,300 people were entertained.

And officials are confident that its journey through the South will prove just as successful.

At over 80km long, the total bill for the railway line has been estimated at

1.8billion euros.

The trains, powered by 100% renewable energy, will each hold 450 passengers and should carry up to 30,000 a day between Santa Cruz and Costa Adeje.

There will be seven stops along the route.

The stations will be located at Santa Cruz, Añaza, Candelaria, San Isidro, Tenerife South Airport, Los

Cristianos and Las Americas, with services running every 15 minutes at speeds of up to 220k/ph.

The train will come from Reina Sofia Airport to a small stop in Las Chafiras (they are not yet sure where). There will then be a major stop in Los Cristianos and on to the final stop in the municipality of Adeje.

A vast amount of the train

journey will be underground in fact, some 40 metres under the ground - tunnelling through the Guaza mountain and running under sections of both Arona and Adeje.

The entire journey, from Santa Cruz to Adeje will take just 39 minutes, which will almost certainly cut down on the daily TF1 traffic, especially at the rush-hours.

Inside the station will be a selection of shops, a cafeteria, and various offices. The statement calls the roof the unifying element of the entire project, acting as a protective enclosure and insulation, while also providing much-needed protection from the sun while standing on the platforms.

Of course, there will be

garden areas and a system of recycling of rainwater will be in place for the purpose of watering the gardens.

Clean waste water will also be used for this purpose.

All those present agreed that this is a plan that will result in the creation of a truly outstanding station in San Isidro that will be able to accommodate the many thousands of passengers that will be using the new train service.

Above are the plans for the new train from Los Cristianos to Adeje.

The economic crisis has hit hard in the transport sector and taxis in particular are feeling the pinch.

Four taxi driver associations and three radio-taxi groups that claim they represent some 60% of the sector in the capital, Santa Cruz, have joined forces to appeal to the Santa Cruz Town Council and the Tenerife Cabildo to reduce the number of licensed cabs on the

roads. They say this is the only way for the sector to survive.

The drivers and their families held a meeting and said that if they did not receive an answer from the Mayor, Miguel Zerolo, by the end of February, they would be forced to take to the streets to protest the situation and

Speed limit cut for safety’s sake PLANS are underway to reduce the speed limit to 30 km/hour on all urban Spanish roads with just one lane in each direction, and on one-way streets with a single lane.

Most of these roads have a 50 km/hour limit at present, and the change will be effected with the publication of the new Spanish Highway Code, el Reglamento General de Circulación.

Pere Navarro, General Director of Traffic in Spain (DGT), justified the measure

18 February 2011 - 24 February 2011

yesterday (Thursday) by saying that no pedestrian could survive being hit by a car travelling at 70 kms/hour.

He added that 50% of people survived a 50 kms/hour impact, but 95% survived an impact of 30 kms/hour.

Nearly 300 pedestrians were killed on Spanish roads in 2009, 46% of them in towns and cities.

The DGT traffic authority has released plans to allow youngsters over 16 years of age to drive with an adult.

They will, however, have had to pass the theory exam, and have had at least 20 hours on the road previously at a driving school.

A WORD FROM OUR EDITOR

Swallows are brushing up for their colourful Forest plans Swedish Church display to face chop

Email: editor@canarianweekly.com

LAST WEEK I wittered on about the UK forests being sold off, and indeed it was still in the weekend’s posh papers.

By way of update as we go to print it appears that the Government is to ditch plans to sell off England’s green and pleasant land.

It’s understood that the plans will be dropped today (Friday) after heavy criticism from campaigners, more than 500,000 people signed an online petition against the move.

Downing Street aides said the consultation will be swiftly wound up and the policy rethought. A new panel of experts is now set to look at public access and biodiversity within the publicly-owned woodland.

The good news comes after hundreds of thousands of people united against the plans to change the ownership of England’s 258,000hectare public forest estate, many of them natural Tory supporters.

Environment secretary Caroline Spelman, who unveiled the plans last year, has faced intense criticism from Conservative MPs who have been confronted by angry protests from constituents.

Even the Prime Minister admitted he was not happy with the policy, which would have raised £250m. At Prime Minister’s Questions in the Commons, Labour leader Ed Miliband asked Mr Cameron: “Can you tell us whether you are happy with your flagship

Page 04

policy on forestry?”

Mr Cameron replied: “The short answer to that is no.”

Mr Miliband urged the Government to drop the “ludicrous” policy and pointed out the “irony” that the Conservative Party’s symbol was a tree.

Last week, it was announced that sales of 15% of public forests run by the Forestry Commission will not go ahead until a review aimed at “significantly” strengthening woodland protections is completed.

Now plans to offload the remaining 85% of England’s public forests to timber companies, charities and local communities have also been dropped.

Ironically 2011 is International year of the forest, which has been declared by the United Nations.

According to the Forestry Commission’s website it has invited governments, organisations and individuals to do all they can to raise public awareness of the key role of forests and sustainable forest management in building a greener, more equitable and sustainable future.

“The Forestry Commission is pleased to play its part and will make a full contribution to the UK’s response.

Our programme of educational, community and recreational events throughout the year will be used to highlight the Year of Forests and we are planning many more projects and events throughout 2011.”

You couldn’t write better comedy lines.

Until next week…

IT’S that time of the year again, and the Swallows Art Group have again been busy preparing for their annual exhibition at The Swedish Church on the sea front in Los Cristianos.

It runs from 26th February until 5th March, and the Art Group have already held successful exhibitions at the Cultural Centre in Los Cristianos, the Hacienda Cristoforo near Playa Paraiso and at The Cuatro Esquinas Rural Hotel, in San Miguel de Abona.

The group venture out each week painting and sketching. Their canvas is Tenerife, with its diversity of volcanic landscapes, pine forests, picturesque villages with fincas and vineyards; the traditional harbours and their fishing boats and yachts; the beaches stretching out with Atlantic waves crashing on the shores, and the vibrant colours of the flora and fauna.

Their Swedish Church Exhibition has a variety of paintings depicting the dedication and enjoyment of all the artists, who will be happy to discuss their works and

techniques. They hold workshops and painting classes for beginners and experienced painters, and are happy to discuss details of classes.

All the paintings are for sale, so come along and enjoy the colourful array.

Everyone is welcome - and don’t forget, that picture which really appeals to you, and your wallet or purse, may well be a future masterpiece!

The exhibition will be open at the following times: Monday and Friday,10am2pm.

Tuesday and Wednesday, 10am-2pm; 47pm. Thursday, 10am-2pm; 4-6.30pm. Saturday, 10-4pm.

Delicious cakes and hot drinks are available in the charming café in The Swedish Church.

Rushing to Tenerife No safe crossing ACCORDING to the latest figures released by the Tourism department at the Tenerife Cabildo, a full 98% of all Russians that visit the Canary Islands come to Tenerife, maintaining the Island as the undisputed favourite for more than 15 years.

First Vice President and Tourism head José Manuel Bermúdez said, “This is a growing market here in Tenerife and these visitors are looking for luxury, quality of service, and they have money to spend.”

Cabildo tourism statistics show that the Russian market grew by 20.6% in 2010, with a total of 81,992 visitors.

Russian tourists tend to be younger than the majority of visitors to the Island, averaging less than 40 years of age. This, plus their healthy daily spend means they are more active, enjoying excursions, visiting the capital and Puerto de la Cruz or whale watching, but shop-

ping is their major interest, followed by dining out.

The study also revealed that Russians usually use a travel agency to book their holidays and prefer to stay in five or four star hotels in the south of Tenerife. Their average stay is 12 days in comparison with the general average of just over a week. And, despite

being active, they enjoy relaxing on the beach or taking in the natural beauty of the Island with a trip up to El Teide.

Bermúdez concluded, “This year Tourism Tenerife will be working to promote the Island in other Eastern countries that would fly in via Moscow, a city with frequent flights

into Tenerife, such as the Ukraine, Kazakhstan or Belarus.”

As well as appearing at the numerous tourism trade fairs that occur each year, Tourism Tenerife will be actively promoting the ‘Quality Tourism’ it has been aiming at for several years, highlighting exclusivity and luxury.

State to invest more funds in Island tourism MADRID’S MINISTER for Industry, Tourism and Commerce, Miguel Sebastián, has announced the intention of the State Government to release some 42 million Euros in April, destined for several major improvement projects here on the Islands.

The funds will be administered by the Canarian Government under the Tourism Infrastructure Plan, which contains projects designed to be undertaken up to 2012.

The major area of concern is the state of much of the hostelry sector throughout the Archipelago, deemed to be obsolete and in need of serious renovation.

The announcement came during a session in Congress in Madrid when Coalicion Canarias spokeswoman Ana

Oramas asked when and what the Government intended to do to assist the Canaries in the task of upgrading.

Minister Sebastián said he would be meeting with Canarian Government President Paulino Rivero in March to finalise the deal and sign the appropriate agreements.

“This funding will go a long way towards the renovation projects,” the Minister said.

“It will increase the Canary Islands’ standing in terms of competition with other des-

tinations as well as improve the environmental sustainability issues we face, and aid both economically and socially,” he concluded.

Oramas commented, “This funding should provide jobs for 4,000 people in the construction sector as well as renovate many of the rundown tourist zones.”

LOCAL residents in Playa San Juan are once again up in arms and demanding a safe place to cross the road.

Mayor of Guia de Isora, Pedro Martín, has added his voice to the outcry and is calling on the roads department at Tenerife’s Cabildo to install a pedestrian crossing, or at least come up with another solution.

The more than 500 residents that live on either side of the TF-47, calle El Velero, are housed in two complexes, Residencial Playa San Juan and La Ola, the area known locally as ‘El Sacatapas’.

The local people and the Town Council have been trying for several years to get permission from the Cabildo to install the crossing at an extremely busy point on the road where pedestrians have neither a crossing, traffic lights nor an elevated walkway, for instance.

Community of owners President at the Residencial Playa San Juan, Antonio Auret Ruiz and Antonio Magdalena of the San Juan Bautista

Neighbourhood Association both claim that they have waited years for an answer, sending petitions, attending meetings and visits from various technicians.

The two recently met with Mayor Martín at the crossing at the entrance into the town where the Mayor informed them that at the next meeting with the roads department at the Cabildo he will once again ask permission for the Town Council to put a crossing where it is so badly needed. The Mayor recalled that in years past the Town Hall had painted a crossing and been fined by the Cabildo for acting without a permit.

Antonio Auret drew attention to the plight of two elderly people living in Residencial Playa San Juan that simply cannot get across the road quickly enough.

They have to rely on neighbours for their shopping and even for their rubbish to be taken across the road to the bins. He also pointed out that parents are afraid to let their children play outside for fear that they will try and cross the busy road and come to harm.

Wages are dropping SPANISH WAGES are reducing although the country’s productivity is increasing, according to the Spanish press. The average wage fell by 0.4% in 2010, despite the year ending with 3% inflation.

The numbers, from the National Statistics Institute,

come as Germany is demanding that wages be linked to productivity instead of inflation.

Also, 45% of workers in Spain who do overtime, do not get paid any extra at the end of the month. That number goes over 70% in some activities such as com-

18 February 2011 - 24 February 2011

puting professionals, while in financial, property or education the percentage is over 85%.

The average cost for an hour of overtime in the third quarter of 2010 is at its lowest for three years, according to the National Statistics Institute.

Spain’s jobless rate A Group effort just spelling out the shrinking economy

NEWS IN BRIEF TOMORROW at the Adeje Cultural Centre, an agreement will be signed between local Club Atlético Chenet, Adidas Tenerife, Aldeas Infantiles SOS España and the Adeje Town Council.

The group will embark on a project to organise sporting events and the proceeds will be shared equally between children in the Municipality who need help getting involved in sports and with the children’s aid organisation Aldeas Infantiles SOS

España here in Tenerife .

This event is organized by Club Atlético Chenet and the Adeje Council, Adidas and patron Club Atlético de Madrid.

Carnival’s coming It’s that time of year again, Carnival season, and the Arona Carnival will take place from March 18th until March 28th, and this year the theme is the circus. As always, the events will be held in Los Cristianos, culminating in the

parade through town.

Canarian Weekly will keep our readers updated in future editions with a detailed calendar of events, but in the meantime those planning to attend have plenty of time to design their Carnival outfit!

Polish tourist swept away as storm rages HEAVY WINDS and rain have been lashing the Canary Islands over the past week or so, with waves, according to experts, several metres high.

According to a statement

released by the police, the heavy storms caused a Polish tourist to be swept out to sea and his body was later found by the Maritime Rescue Services. Apparently, the man’s cousin said, the 33year-old drowning victim was walking on the beach when he was carried off by the waves.

Spanish diesel prices jump DIESEL prices in Spain have equalled those of petrol for the first time in two years, after increasing by 3% in a week.

81% of vehicles on Spain’s

roads use diesel which is now up to 27.1 per litre. Since the start of the year diesel has risen by 7% in price. Since 2009 it is up 28%, and the latest increase comes in line with record prices for crude.

Benchijigua ‘not’ Express THIS WEEK a broken cable ramp produced a minimal delay in the connection La Gomera to Tenerife served by the “Benchijigua Express.”

The Fred Olsen “Benchijigua Express” service was resumed after just an hour delay caused by the break of a ramp cable on the starboard berth pier at San Sebastian de

Page 06

La Gomera. The fault occurred around 9.30 am, when one of the cables that held the ramp broke while performing maintenance.

No one was injured in the incident and the matter was resolved swiftly by Fred Olsen.

THE horrendous unemployment rate in Spain contributed to the country’s economy shrinking by 0.1% in 2010.

The jobless rate of 20.33% was the highest throughout the industrialised world,

according to figures disclosed by the National Statistics Institute on Wednesday.

Spain imposed severe spending cuts during the year to put the brakes on a huge public deficit, warding off an Irish-style debt crisis.

The country’s total economic output, or gross domestic product (GDP), did

edge up 0.2% in the last three months of 2010.

But overall, the 0.1% GDP decline led to Spain’s economy being declared one of only three eurozone countries, along with Greece and Ireland, to have contracted in 2010.

Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero’s Government has predicted a

1.3% growth this year, with the jobless rate going down slightly to 19.3%.

The Government has cut spending, announced sell-offs and reformed the labour code and pension system in an effort to regain the confidence of international investors, on whom it depends to finance its debt.

Tenerife museums open to everybody BESIDES sun, sand and sea, there is a whole lot more on offer here on the Island.

The museums of Tenerife offer a wide range of cultural and educational opportunities and the Tenerife Cabildo is determined to make them accessible to all sections of the community, regardless of limited mobility or communication.

start for Better service for Tenerife record-breaking cruise passengers? Atlantic rowers A SIX-STRONG team who broke the world record for rowing across the Atlantic Ocean this week began their epic race in Tenerife..

EVER on the look-out for ways to improve service to tourists, Tourism Tenerife and the Santa Cruz Port Authority are working on a plan to up-grade the quality of provisions received by cruise passengers from the capital’s taxi drivers.

Aiming to be ready for September of this year, a date that coincides with the new cruising season, drivers that operate at the port will have a brand new look. A uniform is planned as well as a multi-lingual service that will offer information and communication in both English and German.

First Vice President and Tourism Minister at the Tenerife Cabildo, José Manuel Bermúdez, com-

18 February 2011 - 24 February 2011

mented, “This is an important aspect of the improvements to our image and taxi services. Almost 500 taxis are authorised to serve the Port and the passengers disembarking from the many cruise liners that visit the capital.

“This is a great way for visitors to immediately and clearly recognise the licensed drivers. But it is more than that. Visitors will also know exactly what the cost is for any

excursions they may want to take using a taxi,” he concluded.

Minister Bermúdez made his comments following a recent meeting at Tenerife Tourism’s offices, attended by the four taxi associations that operate out of the Santa Cruz Port.

According to the Port Authority, the capital is set to receive half a million visitors by way of 230 cruise ships that will dock in Santa Cruz in 2011.

Chris Covey, 25, from West Wickham, Bromley, was part of Team Hallin who rowed the 3,000 miles to Barbados in 31 days, 23 hours and 31 minutes, smashing the record by more than a day.

He celebrated the feat, a charitable fund-raising event, by proposing to girlfriend Susie Easton, 28, who had travelled to Barbados to welcome the team at the dockside.

Teacher Susie accepted, and a delighted Covey said: “I can’t explain the relief from finishing - just to be able to collapse on the beach knowing there was nothing more to worry about.

“It was total hell as you could never relax. We knew

what we were letting ourselves in for, but I’m never going near an ocean rowing boat again.”

Team Hallin did not stop rowing from the moment they set sail on 6th January - after spending weeks in San Miguel Marina awaiting better weather until their revolutionary, trimaran vessel passed the finishing line on 7th February.

During the 31-day ordeal, the rowers suffered acute seasickness, blistering and soars to their hands and backsides. They were also attacked by flying fish, and were almost run down by a Russian tanker.

The team are well on course to raise their £60,000 target for the charity Combat Stress, which specialises in the care of service veterans’ mental health.

They have already collected more than £25,000.and further donations can be made at www.teamhallin.co.uk

Telecommications given a huge boost THE TENERIFE Cabildo has initiated the installation of fibre optics on the Island Ring route, beginning with the TF-1.

According to Cabildo chief of the Economy and Competition, Carlos Alonso, this is a vanguard project.

“The water and air systems being used on the project are being pioneered here for the entire Canary Islands and will give us excellent results in terms of the speed and efficiency of the fibre optic cable’s installation. The work is expected to take about forty days to the point where the cables will be con-

nected and certified,” he said. The water process enables the fibre optic cables to be installed inside a ‘micro-duct’ of just 10mm diameter. This is the first time this process has been used in the Canary Islands, using high pressure water to literally float the cables into place inside the ducts along to their destination. Once in place, the water simply drains away into a tank. The technique is known as ‘Floating’ and is principally used over distances greater than four kilometres, without the need for junction points en route. The system can allow the cables to move by as much as 80 metres per minute.

For distances below two kilometres, the process using air and known as ‘Blowing’ will be used, using highly pressurised air to move the cables along inside the duct. This moves at about 150 metres per minute.

Both methods, Floating and Blowing, allow technicians from the Tenerife Institute of Technology and Telecommunications, IT3, to lay the cable at a speed that has never been reached anywhere in the Canary Islands.

These techniques are at the cutting edge of fibre optic technology and installation and have been employed in a number of major projects in such countries as Germany, Belgium and Holland.

The plan is to link the Island by a network of fibre optics, beginning with access points to communities linked by each of the motorway’s exits.

Carlos Alonso points out, “This project shows the Cabildo’s plan to build up a network throughout the Island, creating the hub of communications we have been working on. In this way, the Island will become a major centre of communication networks internationally, linking Europe, Africa and North America.”

To start off with, the cables will be used to feed traffic information to the overhead signs along the motorway.

Roadside clean-up THE TENERIFE Cabildo, in association with the Roads Department, has

Page 08

announced the continuance of their recently begun roadside clean-up.

Entitled, “Cleaning the Island’s road-sides,” some 79 workers were employed in December 2010 to move around Tenerife in a project

co-financed by the European Union’s Social Fund and the Canarian Employment Service.

The object of the project, which will extend through until June of this year, is to eliminate the weeds and unwanted vegetation that crowds the sides of many of the roads around the Island.

Not only are these plants creating what some authorities consider an untidy appearance, but more importantly they frequently affect visibility. In addition the clean-up crews will be tasked with the removal of rubbish that builds up along the verges and can sometimes cause dangerous situations for motorists.

All members are under 20 years of age and have been selected from groups that have difficulty inserting themselves into the work force.

It’s connected!

2011 Tourism Strategy Plan

CONNECTIONS seems to be the by-word for this year’s Tourism Tenerife Strategy, as the newly-unveiled plan reveals the major thrust this year is ‘connectivity’.

In his statement, Cabildo First Vice President and Tourism Minister José Manuel Bermúdez, commented that the major aim for 2011 is to improve the Island’s aerial connections, creating permanent links between Tenerife and new airports abroad.

Speaking at the meeting that revealed the new goals, Bermúdez said, “This is the time to reinforce our image as a safe, secure destination, particularly in light of recent unrest in Egypt and Tunisia.

We can use this opportunity to attract new visitors that will become repeat visitors.”

The plan is to maintain and grow current tourism numbers and airport connections.

Corresponding advertising campaigns will be launched using the Internet as well as the more traditional methods such as newspapers and magazines, for instance. Also, Tourism Tenerife will intermediate with airline companies and airports to create new routes where no current connection exists.

The project will also continue along many of the lines it has taken up in the past several campaigns. This will see a continuation of the work that has been ongoing under the ‘regeneration of tourist

zones’ banner, including ongoing drainage and sanitation improvements, more green space and gardens and even such proposals as the renovation of the parts of the hostelry or leisure sector that have deteriorated over the years.

Another of the major areas to be focused on this coming year will continue to be the specialising, diversification and enrichment of what is on offer here in Tenerife, with special attention going to hiking, whale watching, bicycling, surfing and wind and kitesurfing, gastronomy and, of course, sun, sand and sea.

And not forgetting the Island’s unique natural wealth, not least of which is the volcano, El Teide.

The Cabildo’s Tenerife Tourism branch will also study and reaffirm the different and most efficient markets in which to promote the Island, focusing on those with the greatest growth potential and on those markets where Tenerife is a forerunner, if not a leader. It will thus reduce its insertion into less profitable areas, where potential is slim due to lack of air connections or high pricing.

Tourism Tenerife declared that its strategic plan for 2011 will see further concentration on online business opportunities; on research and innovation and the cooperation and co-ordination between every element involved in the sector, as well as to continue to promote a professional approach to the services on offer.

School protest in Guia COLLEGE students and families took to the streets in Guia de Isora on Valentine’s day to protest at the lack of teachers.

Up until now they have sent letters, made phone calls to the Ministry of Education for replacement

teachers but all to no avail.

On Monday they chained the gates of the school closed preventing teachers and students entry and took their anger onto the streets.

A llarge group of parents and students marched with banners and whistles against the Education Minister, Milagros Luis Brito. Several banners were hung from the

fences of the school and carried by the students reading “Enough lies. Quality Education Now “,” Milagros Luis Brito, substitutes Now.” Among other slogans Students also carried placards with messages such as “Education is in danger!”, “Mr. Melchior, South decent education, “ As a sign of support THE

protest was attended by the Guia de ISora Councillor for Education, Josefa Mesa, as well as other councilors, Secundino Yanes and Raquel Gutiérrez.

Local Police and Guardia Civil were present to ensure that there were no altercations.

After the first protest at the gates of the school, at

about 9:30 am, Police and Guardia Civil were forced to regulate traffic on various routes.

Around 11 o’clock in the morning, two municipal

workers, escorted by the Guardia Civil, then proceeded to cut the chains that blocked the doors of the school, thus terminating the demonstration.

Butlins goes retro for its 75th birthday THE HOLIDAY company Butlins is going retro to celebrate its 75th birthday, with the new Redcoat design taking its inspiration from the original 1936 version.

Over the next 12 months the iconic uniform will include details from the original, including black piping around the lapel, gold buttons and of course white skirts and pumps for the ladies and white pressed trousers for the gents.

Famous Redcoats have included Des O’Connor, Jimmy Tarbuck and Michael Barrymore.

Butlins director Richard Bates said: “Butlins has a special place in the hearts of the British public, so a muchloved retro uniform is a

great way to celebrate our wonderful heritage.” The economic downturn saw many British families taking ‘staycations’ in the UK and so far for 2011, Butlins sales are up £2m on last year.

The company’s owner Bourne Leisure, which also runs Warner Leisure and Haven Holidays, will have spent £150m to upgrade its facilities between 2003 and the end of 2011.

For its anniversary year alone, its three resorts have received a £34m overhaul.

They will be re-opening, complete with new uniforms, on February 18 as households take their first family break of the year over half term.

The holiday company is expecting nearly 17,000 guests over the launch weekend at its three venues in Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness.

Radical welfare reform scheme unveiled by PM

THE GOVERNMENT is outlining the full details of its flagship changes to the benefits system.

Iain Duncan Smith’s Welfare Reform Bill involves a radical overhaul, aimed at simplifying the system and tackling the culture that he believes encourages people to choose a life on benefits.

The proposals include replacing work-related benefits with a single, universal credit, designed to ensure people are always better off when they are employed.

A BRITON is believed to be among 12 people, many of them tourists, killed when a tourist boat sank in Vietnam.

The vessel was touring the popular attraction of Ha Long Bay when it apparently started taking on water as passengers slept in their cabins.

It is believed that 27 people, including six crew members, were on board.

Twelve bodies have been recovered. Nine of the dead are tourists from countries such as Britain, the US, Australia, Sweden and Japan.

The bodies have been sent to Bai Chay Hospital for iden-

The Government intends to close the loophole which enables some couples to receive more living apart.

But there is also a significant climbdown, with ministers shelving a controversial plan to cut people’s housing benefit by 10% if they were in receipt of Jobseeker’s Allowance for more than a year.

The benefits system... doesn’t just allow people to act irresponsibly, but often actively encourages them to do so In a speech to mark the publication of the bill, the Prime Minister has said that

the “collective culture of responsibility” that used to be the bedrock of the welfare system has been lost.

He has argued that there are some individuals who, “with no regret or remorse, intentionally rip off the system,” but that more broadly, the system itself is at fault.

“The benefit system has created a benefit culture,” David Cameron said.

“It doesn’t just allow people to act irresponsibly, but often actively encourages them to do so.”

For those people who refuse to play ball, there will

be increasingly severe sanctions.

Anyone who repeatedly refuses to take up a job offer face losing their benefits for as long as three years.

The Prime Minister has spoken of his concern that sickness absence from work is frequently a first step towards finding oneself on benefits.

“We simply have to get to grips with the sicknote culture that means a short spell of sickness absence can far too easily become a gradual slide to a life of long-term benefit dependency.”

tification. Nine foreign tourists and six locals were rescued and rushed to hospitals by other tour boats anchored nearby.

Those rescued reported seeing a plank of the wood-

en ship ripping away, followed by water rushing into the boat and pulling it down.

The tourists were asleep at the time in their cabins and many may have not had time to evacuate the boat.

Weather conditions were said to be calm. Local Vietnamese media identified the boat as the cruise ship Truong Hai QN5198.

Ha Long Bay is located near the Chinese border in the

Gulf of Tonkin and is one of Vietnam’s most visited areas.

The bay is a Unesco World heritage site dotted with limestone formations - visitors cruise the bay on small boats and then often sleep

overnight on larger vessels or traditional Chinese junks.

More than 100 cruise boats are licensed to offer overnight services.

It is not the first tragedy in the bay to have claimed the lives of locals and tourists.

In 2009, a tour boat sank during a storm on the bay, killing five, including three foreign tourists.

In 2006, a powerful storm in the area also capsized several boats, killing 13 people, though no tourists were among the dead.

And in 2002, strong winds capsized two tourist boats, killing several foreign visitors.

Protesters Banksy posters are killed are ripped down in Bahrain AT LEAST four people have been killed overnight in clashes in Bahrain as anti-government protests spread across the Gulf and North Africa, according to officials.

They died in Manama, the capital of the island nation which lies east of Saudi Arabia, after police moved in on thousands of demonstrators.

At least 50 people were injured as security forces armed with batons and tear gas broke up a protest camp, witnesses said.

Explosions and ambulance sirens could be heard close to the square, which was sealed off.

Joe Parkinson, Wall Street Journal correspondent in Manama, said: “I’m hearing from eyewitnesses that the square has been completely cleared. There were somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 people there.”

Video footage of the demonstration being cleared

was released by the Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights. Witness Fadel Ahmad said: “They attacked the square where hundreds of people were spending the night in tents.”

Another demonstrator who fled the scene, Mahmoud Faraj, said: “They came in over a bridge that overhangs the square. There are several people injured.”

Thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets since Tuesday after police killed two young Shi’ite demonstrators during antigovernment protests.

By dawn on Thursday, the square was nearly empty apart from a few people being questioned by police.

The interior ministry declared the protest camp illegal and warned Bahrainis to stay off the streets.

Officers with tear gas launchers and armoured vehicles are reported to be in the area.

Demonstrators in the Shiitemajority state, which is ruled by a Sunni royal family, are calling for an end to the proWestern monarchy.

Police launch probe into child-sex exploitation DEVON and Cornwall Police have launched a major investigation into child sex abuse and exploitation.

Thousands of parents of children at secondary schools in Torbay and Teignbridge in Devon have been sent letters informing them of the probe.

Devon and Cornwall Police said the inquiry - Operation Mansfield - focused on several child victims.

A police statement said: “Officers are in the process of identifying potential victims and arranging to speak to them.

“The inquiry is at a very early stage and no arrests have been made.”

Police confirmed a letter had been sent out to parents of all children attending secondary schools in the Torbay and Teignbridge areas.

The letter said: “I write this letter to reassure, not alarm you.

“In partnership with the

Page 14

police, children’s services and the NHS, I need to inform you about a complex child abuse investigation that is currently under way in Torbay.

“The investigation involves the sexual exploitation of a number of young people in Torbay, some of whom are in our Torbay schools.

“None of this exploitation has occurred in any Torbay school, but I am informing you about the investigation because I recognise that there will be real concern that this sort of thing is happening within our community.”

A teacher at one secondary school in the area, who declined to be named, said: “I believe a number of girls have been interviewed but no arrests have been made.

“We’ll reassure any parents that need reassuring and provide all the support we can.”

Anyone with any concerns around child exploitation in Torbay is advised to call the police on 08452 777444 and quote Operation Mansfield.

A graffiti-enhanced poster attributed to secretive British artist Banksy has been ripped down in Hollywood, amid sightings of other pieces in a reported pre-Oscars publicity stunt.

Banksy is nominated for best documentary for Exit Through the Gift Shop at the Oscars, due to be announced on February 27 at the climax of Tinseltown’s annual awards season.

He also appears in the film, only in shadow with a hoodie over his head and with his voice altered to make him unrecognizable.

“This is a big surprise,” he said in a statement. “I don’t agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I’m prepared to make an exception for the ones I’m nominated for.

“The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me.”

One piece was on an advertising board overlooking Sunset Strip, opposite the headquarters of the Directors Guild of America, depicting an inebriated Mickey Mouse with his hand indeli-

cately placed on a model’s body.

According to the celebrity website TMZ.com, the image caused great excitement, with a stream of fans visiting the area to admire the work.

However not everybody is such a big fan, it seems.

Officials removed the poster from the billboard the following day, despite the site reporting that the petrol station owners had offered to pay $10,000 (£6,000) for it.

At the same time, other examples of the provocative British artist’s work have been spotted around town, including a Charlie Brown figure starting a fire on the

side of a burned-out building on Sunset Boulevard.

Another, depicting a child wielding a machine gun, in black and white surrounded by colored flowers, was spotted behind a clothes shop in Westwood, further west beyond Beverly Hills.

In Beverly Hills itself another showed a dog urinating on a wall, according to online Hollywood news site thewrap.com.

Representatives of the artist could not be immediately reached for comment on the reports, but Sky News understand that the pieces of art are done by the artist himself.

Banksy, whose work has

surfaced in the West Bank and post-Katrina New Orleans and now sells for tens of thousands of dollars at auction, calls the picture “a film about a man who tried to make a film about me.”

Exit Through the Gift Shop focuses on French videographer Thierry Guetta and his insider look at underground artists at work.

Will the notoriously elusive British artist show up for the February 27 ceremony at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood?

And if he wins, will he actually take the stage, say a few words and let the world see his face?

Newbury horse deaths: Animals ‘electrocuted’ TWO HORSES that died after collapsing just before a race were killed as a result of accidental electrocution, it has been confirmed.

Newbury Racecourse has been cleared by the British Horseracing Authority to hold the rescheduled totesport Trophy Hurdle after the initial meeting was abandoned.

Horses Fenix Two and Marching Song, were about to be mounted by their jockeys in the paddock when they suddenly collapsed.

The BHA said its official decision followed postmortem reports and the

results of sampling and information from the Berkshire racecourse and Southern Electric Power Distribution.

Newbury have assured the authority that the parade ring area is now safe for use and that a cable previously located there has been removed and disconnected.

Professor Tim Morris, director of equine science for the BHA Southern Electric also confirmed it is satisfied electricity cables within the racecourse are operating normally and within required safety standards at the time of testing.

Professor Tim Morris, director of equine science

and welfare for the BHA, said: “The authority has been officially informed that there was leakage of electricity from a cable under the parade ring in the area where the incident occurred.

“There was immediate veterinary attention, and our inquiry on the day noted the racecourse veterinary surgeons felt a tingling sensation when examining the horses.”

He said the vets also noted particular clinical signs such as muscle contractions and that post-mortems showed sudden cardiac arrest as the cause of death.

“Samples taken from the horses affected have shown no evidence of substances

that could have caused this incident,” he added.

“These findings are all consistent with the cause of death being accidental electrocution and at this stage we are not investigating any other cause of death.

“I can also confirm that, contrary to speculation, no evidence of any burn marks around the mouth was found on post-mortem examination, neither were such marks found by the veterinary surgeons on the horses at the start.”

The BHA said it would continue further investigations to ensure it learned as much as possible from the incident, with conclusions to be published at a later date.

Helping Hands enjoy a 5-star Valentine affair Putting on the Ritz for our war heroes A SUCCESSFUL “Tea at the Ritz” event in aid of Help For Heroes was held at the Pink Parrot, on Las Galletas seafront, on Monday, 7th February.

Tickets were sold out quickly once the word spread about this unique fund-raising event, which attracted 40 people.

Many people worked hard to organise Tea at The Ritz and we were blessed with a calm, sunny day.

Tea, sandwiches and cakes were served on traditional cake stands in true Ritz style, and the ambience was further served when participants were given the option of a glass of Champagne the Tenerife variety!

Pink Parrot owners Martin and Lillian not only secured food donated from their

suppliers, but gave up their day off to open up especially for the occasion.

The atmosphere was enhanced by solo saxophonist Will Abbleby, of Mellow Sax Sounds, and later the music of Glenn Miller.

Many raffle prizes were donated by those in attendance, and a worthy total of 630 euros was raised.

The Pink Parrot’s winter fund-raising total for Help for Heroes has now reached 1,144 euros, which is the equivalent of £1,000 - previous events being a Christmas Fair and a raffle for a Christmas hamper.

It is heartening to see that this small ex-pat community in Tenerife can rally round to raise such a worthwhile amount for such a worthy cause.

THE Valentine’s Dinner-Dance on Saturday proved to be a five-star affair, and no wonder!

It was staged by the Helping Hands in Tenerife charity and held at the 5-star Hotel Villa Cortes, in Playa de Las Americas.

And the 120 guests, all dressed to impress in their dinner suits and evening dresses, enjoyed a fabulous, memorable evening, during which they were wined, dined and entertained to the hilt.

A Champagne reception was followed by a sumptuous meal, with the waiters working especially hard throughout to keep all the wine glasses full!

Versatile, international singer Joy Dey, a regular visitor to the Island, flew in especially for the event - and she proved outstanding as usual, blowing the guests away with her beautiful voice.

There was also a luxury raffle and an auction, with fabulous

Good friends and organiser Liz (right)

gifts on offer, donated from various restaurants. Signed football shirts, hampers and much more were also donated for the auction.

Organiser Liz Montague would like to thank sponsors Momu Lounge and Rajissimos Bar Restaurant, The Vibration Centre, Grupo Chaher Accountants, Hestria Administration Services, McReformBuilding Services, Tenerife Mortgage Solutions & DaCotta McKenna y Santafe

Lawyers. The atmosphere was lovely and Liz will be only too happy to hold another dinnerdance at the hotel. The total sum raised was 4,000 euros, which will be shared between the Children’s Home in Granadilla and the Martha Dos Center, supporting Children with Cerebral Palsy.

A delighted Liz added: “Sincere thanks to all who supported us. Well done everyone and keep a look-out for future

events. Watch this space!

Throughout 2010, Liz and Dot, from Helping Hands, were collectively busy, holding social events around the South of Tenerife. They and raised in the region of 15,000 euros, which has been donated to those much in need on the Island.

If you would like to participate and learn more about the Charity, please contact liz.montague@yahoo.co.uk or call 661 274 281.

Swallows pay tribute to a dancing couple THE Swallows, who meet at El Tejar in the Apolo Centre, Los Cristianos, held a special Valentine’s DinnerDance at Vivo, Las Americas, on Sunday.

It was special because members were given a wonderful opportunity to thank Sarah and Peter Mitchinson who, for many years, have held Fridaynight dances, and hosted party nights for Swallows.

But they have now decided to hang up their professional dancing shoes and just enjoy life, following Peter´s recent ill health.

A presentation made to the couple included a floral display, the cost of their Valentine’s tickets, plus a little spare cash for them to treat themselves.

They also received a card

Page 18

signed by their many friends, thanking them for all the years of memories they had given them. And Sarah and Peter thanked everyone for their gifts, kind wishes and support.

A “Nearest the Bottle” competition was also held to raise funds for the Swallows’ chosen charity, which is Cancer Research in Tenerife.

A sum of 82 euros was raised, and the bottle was won

by Marcus, from Zizzi Bar in the Apolo Centre, who kindly donated it back to be raffled again at a later date.

Carole Hart, who runs the Swallows group, said: “It was a lovely night with excellent food and even better company.

Many thanks to Mark, Tony, The Wildboyz and the staff at Vivo for all their hard work in making the night such a lovely occasion.”

Demolition Man Tuesday 22 February, 10:35pm - 12:40am, ITV1 London This slick vision of the future comes pretty close to being Sylvester Stallone's best ever picture. Wisely keeping his tongue stuck firmly in his cheek, Stallone plays a tough cop whose unconventional methods land him in a cryogenic prison. Decades later, he is defrosted to hunt down an old sparring partner, the spectacularly psychopathic Wesley Snipes (complete with blond thatch), who has escaped from his deep frozen state and is creating havoc in the now crime-free Los Angeles (renamed San Angeles). The writers have a lot of fun sending up modern-day political correctness in this caring vision of the future - violence, red meat and sex are among the items on the banned list - and director Marco Brambilla delivers the goods when it comes to the all-important action set pieces. Of the supporting cast, Sandra Bullock has an early run at a role she would later perfect in Speed, Denis Leary gets to deliver one of his thinly disguised stand-up routines, while Nigel Hawthorne plays the doctor overseeing this 21st-century Utopia.

COMIC RELIEF isn’t taking place until Friday 18th March, but top stars are already stepping up to the challenge.

David Walliams is bringing his love of tough endurance challenges to his day job when he takes on the role of anchoring the UK’s first ever 24-hour panel show for Red Nose Day – a live online event that will then broadcast on both BBC Three and BBC One. 24 Hour Panel People is set to be an incredible one-off occasion that will require David to be at his comedic

best for 24 hours as throughout the day he switches between the roles of host, team captain and panellist, along with some other surprising challenges as well.

Joining him are some of the nation’s top comedians celebrating some of the most famous and best loved panel shows from TV and radio, including Have I Got News For You, Celebrity Juice, They Think It’s All Over, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Just A Minute and many more.

There will also be variety of bespoke 24 Hour Panel People rounds.

A huge team of comics will

18 February 2011 - 24 February 2011

rotate throughout the course of the challenge, as hosts, team captains and panellists.

Those taking part include Sean Lock, Jason Manford and Leigh Francis.

David Walliams, who famously swam the Channel, the Gibraltar Strait and led a team of celebrity cyclists on a non-stop Land’s End to John

O’Groats relay for Sport Relief, will yet again rise to the occasion in a bid to raise money for Red Nose Day. But if he thought those physical tests of endurance were hard, he’s seen nothing yet as he paces himself to produce non-stop comedy gold for a gruelling 24 hours.

David Walliams said: “This is

an amazing challenge. I just hope I don’t fall asleep or burst into tears.”

The whole 24-hour panel marathon will stream live on bbc.co.uk/rednoseday on the weekend of 5 and 6 March and will then be edited down to 5 x 30-minute shows for BBC Three to air in the run-up to the night of Comic Relief on Friday 18 March. Red Nose night will also broadcast highlights throughout the night on BBC One. Karl Warner, Executive Editor Entertainment Commissioning, said: “We’re thrilled to be supporting Comic Relief again on BBC Three and we’re massively

grateful to all the comedians taking part in this fantastic event, particularly David who is leading the way through this 24-hour panel show marathon.”

Suzi Aplin, Executive Producer of Red Nose Day, said: “This is another new and totally fantastic way of raising money and we couldn’t be more grateful to David and all the spectacular comics who will be joining him in this incredibly exciting event.”

All proceeds raised in support of this enormous feat will go to Comic Relief, to help people living incredibly tough lives both here in the UK and in Africa.

Casualty – ‘Til Death Do Us Part

11:20pm ..John Bishop’s Britain

9.10pm. BBC1 Is this the end of the road for Warren (Stephen Lord)?A feisty new clinical lead joins the team to keep Jordan on his toes; Jay makes a worrying discovery; and Warren awakes from his coma, in this week’s edition of the medical drama.

Jordan is enjoying his new sports car but his good mood soon disappears when Henrik Hanssen reintroduces him to Miriam Turner – his old mentor and the new joint clinical lead.

They immediately clash over the treatment of a pregnant Jehovah’s Witness, Sarah, who is brought into the ED needing a blood transfusion.

Sarah’s husband, Jake, refuses treatment but Miriam wants to proceed

anyway, despite Jordan’s outrage at her dubious ethics. Jake stands fast and they are forced to deliver the baby prematurely. Will they find a way to save mother and baby without compromising their beliefs?

Meanwhile, Jay turns on the charm offensive on an attractive patient, Candy, but when she thinks he is gay, Noel and Big Mac can’t help but laugh. To prove a point, Jay asks Candy out on a date – which she accepts.

When he is about to head off on his date, after struggling with pains in his groin all day, he quickly looks up testicular cancer on the internet. His face turns ashen and he cancels his date with Candy.

Elsewhere, Kirsty’s dreams

of being with Adam are shattered by the arrival of Cathy, Warren’s mum.

Cathy knows all about the violence but she reminds Kirsty of her vows. Kirsty reluctantly puts a stop to things with Adam but it’s too late – Warren has woken from his coma and Cathy’s already told him.

Finding Adam, Warren warns him off but the effort takes its toll. When Kirsty finds Warren slumped on the floor and tries to help him, he punches her in the face. Finally realising that this is the final straw, Kirsty takes Nita and leaves. Unbeknown to her, though, her husband is taken back to resus with suspected DVT. Is this the end of the road for the abusive Warren?

10.35pm, BBC1 Brown on stage. Viewers can prepare for a riot of bad behaviour as Agnes offers help and advice to her family and friends.

In this episode Mrs Brown has family troubles to contend with: Grandad Brown is feeling poorly and son Dermot has fallen out with Maria, his girlfriend. Mrs Brown arranges for Dr Flynn to see Grandad and she decides to talk to Maria – but matters only seem to get worse.

Mrs Brown’s daughter, Cathy, is a psychology student and offers Dermot and Maria a counselling session. A concerned Mrs

Brown comes along and the session quickly descends into a blazing row between her and Cathy.

A bemused Dermot and Maria suddenly realise how stubborn they’ve been and immediately make up.

Then, to everyone’s surprise, they get engaged.

Meanwhile, Grandad ends up in hospital for a cavity search when a temperature reading goes dramatically wrong.

The cast also includes Dermot O’Neill as Grandad Brown, Paddy Houlihan as Dermot, Fiona O’Carroll as Maria and Jennifer Gibney as Cathy.

9:00pm, BBC1 NEW SERIES. Legal drama following the lives, loves and cases of two barristers struggling to prove their worth on the front line of the judicial system. Martha Costello is under huge time pressures as she prepares to defend two very different clients in the hope of securing a good reference for her application to become a QC. Starring Maxine Peake and Rupert Penry-Jones.

Maxine Peake (Criminal Justice), Rupert PenryJones (Spooks), Neil Stuke (Reggie Perrin), Natalie Dormer (The Tudors) and Tom Hughes (Sex, Drugs And Rock And Roll), star in Silk,a thrilling new drama series for BBC One about the lives, loves and hard cases facing barristers on the front line of criminal law, written by BAFTA award-winning writer Peter Moffat (Criminal Justice, North Square).

Silk is a big, bold, fast-paced insight into the world of the criminal Bar, showing legal eagles at work and play.

Maxine Peake is Martha

7:30pm ..........................BBC News; Regional News

Costello, mid-thirties, single, passionate, a defence barrister applying for silk.

Martha is faced with challenging cases and surprising clients. Her beliefs and prejudices, her conscience and her faith in the criminal justice system are tested to the limit over the course of the series.

Former barrister Peter Moffat makes a return to BBC One, providing an insider’s view into this exciting, morally complex, highly charged world.

Peter says: “Silk is based on my experience of life at the Bar. The extreme pressure, the hard choices, the ethical dilemmas, the overlap between the personal and the professional, principles fought for and principles sacrificed, the Machiavellian politics, the sex, the drinking, the whole story – life at the Bar is the richest possible drama territory.”

Clive Reader, played by Rupert Penry-Jones, is funny, gifted and dangerous. He’s the same age as Martha and they are called

to the Bar together. Both are applying for silk – how they perform in court is vital to this process and Clive knows how to play the game.

Neil Stuke plays Billy Lamb, Senior Clerk in chambers.

He’s a man of many parts, lots of contradictions, and has the lives and careers of his barristers under his control. He is dedicated to Martha – he loves her straight talking and lack of guile – even if secretly he believes that she hasn’t got a chance of being made a QC. Nick Slade, played by Tom Hughes, is Martha’s pupil.

Niamh Cranitch, played by Natalie Dormer, is Clive’s pupil. Both are thrown in at the deep end and as ‘baby barristers’ must sink or swim. Stand up in court and show you can cut it. Or forget about making it at the Bar. Only one pupil will be taken on as a member of chambers at the end of the series. Who will it be and why? How will Martha and Clive influence the outcome?

THIS might seem like a political thing coming from me, but I hate politics, so bear with me please.

For what seemed like an eternity, even though it was only two weeks, we all watched the crisis in Egypt.

It was never off the TV screen. It was a sight to behold as the real people rebelled against a corrupt government.

It all started with a call from a guy who worked for Google and, through the internet, word spread of meetings. And as it gathered momentum, it toppled a dictatorship.

During the crisis, the then Egyptian government which was better known for its censorship, pulled the plug on the internet, so nobody could report on what was happening in the country. The British and American governments were releasing TV interviews saying this was against freedom and democracy!

This week, we see the same thing happening in Iran and Libya. Through the power of the internet, the people who have suffered under these regimes are taking to the streets and fighting back.

Again, any person who lives in the free world is applauding this stand being taken.

May I say at this point that my prayers are with all the demonstrators.

So with all these points over the words, “freedom” and “democracy”, what has been happening in the so called freedom back in the

Page 34

UK? Censorship! It might sound crazy to compare this subject with what I have described above, but it really is the same thing. It started off just a week ago when popstar Rihanna released her new song, S&M. This track has been on her album since its release months ago. At Oasis Fm, it has been a popular choice for our listeners and we have not had one complaint, even for my radio show!

So, on its release, what do the BBC back home decide to do? Bring in their moral minority of idiots and edit the track down.

Instead of the S&M title, it’s called Come On, and any references to “whips and chains” have been edited out.

To their “credit”, they have assured their Radio One listeners that they can listen to the whole track at night only! Oh ... thanks very much BBC, that’s very good of you.

It’s like being told as a child what time to go to bed. The Independent radio stations are no better.

They have always been so lazy, so their excuse for not even playing it as they do not wish to offend listeners does not carry with me.

I worked in that market for a long time, and the reason they will not play it is because producers are a thing of the past and they have nobody to do the hard work.

But believe me when I say this: if they could find some way of getting listeners to pay a high-rate phone call or

text, they would be playing the track!

In the Independent radio world, it’s all about getting as much money as possible.

That’s the reason there seems to be no talent on air in the UK these days. But back to my point. As freethinking people, as I mentioned previously, we applaud what happened in Egypt, and the rest of that area seems to be following their example.

So the hypocritical, UK Government-owned BBC should be taken to task over this. After all, music falls into the arts category.

Remember what happened with the Nazis in the Thirties? They burned paintings and books and dictated to their party what to look at and what to listen to. It is beyond belief.

Think back to four occasions when, in the name of morals, we were told what to do: Elvis swaying his hips, The Beatles with long hair, Frankie Goes To Hollywood with Relax and George Michael with I Want Your Sex. All look so tame when you look back in history. And Rihanna’s song is no different.

The BBC are Government-owned, so they should stand up and say they can’t be seen to support freedom around the world and yet, at the same time, censor a piece of music!

And the Independents should look up the meaning of “independent” in the dictionary!

Sort yourself out!

SOMETIMES, properties here can be relatively small because they were built primarily as holiday homes.

So when you either live in them, or spend a fair amount of time here, storage can be a bit of an issue.

Below are some ideas to increase your storage potential without leaving your home looking cluttered.

Storage-bed bases: These are bases that have a hydraulic system to lift the mattress up, revealing a huge amount of storage underneath. They are unsuitable for very heavy items, but certainly excellent for blankets, clothes, shoes, etc.

The mechanism is very light and easy to use, and the mattress and all the bedding stay in place, so you can access it easily. In a double bed for example, this will provide a huge amount of storage.

I have used one in my teenage daughter’s room no, not to put her in it,

What you need

picture, the table is stored as a narrow desk or hall unit, but when extended, the sides and back panels form a full dining table, which can be up to more than two metres in length.

We are fortunate enough to be able to eat outside a lot of

the time, but there are occasions, perhaps more formal, or when the weather isn’t so good, that it is convenient to eat inside.

Wardrobes with sliding doors: Wardrobes are available in 50cm widths and, if they have sliding doors, they

do not need clearance for the doors to open. We stock some which are very cheap, and although basic, they can appear very “designer” if you include a colour sticker on the door!

So, no more need for clutter - get it sorted!

although I have been tempted - but so that she can hide all her mess there when she is told to tidy her room.

Sofas with storage: These are ideal if you have the space, particularly if it is a sofa bed, and the bedding can be stored out of sight

during the day. Dining table: This is a fabulous idea for those smaller properties, or for people who would like to have a dining table, but one as a permanent fixture would take up too much room.

As you can see in the first

What to do!

1. Lay the linen flat and place the board on top. Use the ruler and pencil to draw around the board, allowing an extra 10cm (4in) on all sides.

Cut out.

2. Mark out pockets on fabric swatches and cut out. Turn under 5mm (¼in) of fabric along the side and bottom

Keep everything in order on practical notice board edges of pockets and iron.

Fray the top edges. Decide

where to put pockets. Pin to linen and sew by hand using a small running stitch.

3. With fabric wrong side up, place board face down on top. Fold in corners and trim.

Starting in the centre of one side, fold linen border to back of board and staple. At each corner fold fabric over with the corner still folded in to create a mitre. Repeat on opposite side, pulling fabric taut. Fold in and staple the remaining two sides. Staple corners as well.

4. Place a length of ribbon under the board, fold one end to the back and staple. Fold other end to the back, making sure it’s straight, pull tight and staple in place. Repeat for the other lengths of ribbon.

5. Clip the bulldog clips to the board and then attach your keepsakes and memos. Stand

the board on a shelf or worktop, or fix it to a fridge or wall with adhesive strips.

DAVID HUDGELL Getting to the root of your gardening problems!

Sweet by name and fragrant by nature!

Money-saving tips for your gardens WHETHER you are an avid vegetable gardener, a learner herb gardener or just like to have a pretty area, these frugal tips may help you save a little money.

1. Stale coffee and coffee grounds make great organic fertiliser. They provide many trace minerals and low, gentle levels of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous.

2. Remember that for veggies and for your lawn, a good soaking of water less often is better than a light sprinkling every day..

3. If your neighbour has a plant you particularly like, ask for a cutting instead of going to the nursery and buying one. Maybe you could trade a cutting from one of your own plants.

4. To water a tomato plant easily, bury a bottomless tin next to the plant and pour the water into the can. This allows the water to go straight to the roots.

ANNUAL plants really are easy to grow, which is why children love planting the seeds and watching them as they progress rapidly from green shots to produce brilliant colours.

Mind you, us grown-ups also love the end product - a glorious array of technicolour in hanging baskets,

containers or other arrangements.

And what better than to plant fragrant sweet peas, especially in the garden?

These are often grown in rows in the vegetable garden to provide cut flowers. But they also make an attractive feature in the flower border.

Dig the soil well and incorporate a dressing of general fertiliser. Tread the soil to firm it, and then put the supports in place before sowing the seeds.

Special cane clips are available at garden centres to fix together the tops of bamboo canes, making a wigwam, or an A-frame, which is then covered with plastic mesh netting to give the plants something to cling to.

Use a sharp knife to clip the seed-coat carefully to hasten germination - this is called chipping - but be careful not to damage the lighter-coloured eye, from where the seedling will

5. Plant marigolds in your vegetable garden. They will attract insects that eat aphids and other pests.

6. Cut old carpet into wide strips and lay it down between the rows in your garden. Now you can pick peas without getting your shoes muddy.

7. Use grass clippings as mulch around your vegetable plants to keep moisture in and weeds out. Just don’t use the clippings right after you have fertilised your grass, or treated it for weed control.

8. Pine needles make excellent mulch if you have access to them.

9. Here’s a natural, frugal, garden-pest spray: mix 1 tablespoon of liquid dishwashing soap and 1 cup of cooking oil. Use 3 tablespoons of this mixture to 1 quart of water and spray on plants.

10. In the herb garden, to keep plants like mint from taking over too big an area, put it in a clay pot and simply plant the whole pot!

emerge. Alternatively, if you don’t fancy that method, soak the seeds overnight in water to soften the seed-coat. Sow them about one inch deep (2.5cm) with some three inches (7.5cm) between them, or at the base of each cane support.

The end result will be a host of sweet-smelling sweet peas, which will provide fragrant, cut flowers for your home throughout the summer.

Spring is nearly sprung, so it’s time to get cracking right now YOU’VE probably noticed that the days are getting longer lighter mornings and evenings – which gives us more time to “play” in the garden.

The weather has been pretty desperate over here, on and off for a couple of

months, but the obvious signs of growth and flowering around the garden and on terraces lifts the heart.

It just gives us that optimism and drive to get cracking again, even though it’s still chilly over here at either end of the day, never mind the incredible, fluctuating weather in the UK. Gardening enthusiasts will be hoping for several days

18 February 2011 - 24 February 2011

of dry, sunny conditions, accompanied by a strong breeze for drying out the soil for seedbed preparation.

It doesn’t really apply over here because however bad it can be, the sun is always warm when it does emerge from behind the clouds.

But in the UK, the lighter the soil, the earlier the task can be accomplished. It just

involves raking the surface until the spoil is reduced to an even texture of fine crumbs.

However, it is essential to wait until the soil is no longer clinging and sticky. True, Spring always seems to be slow to get going, it soon shifts up a gear and before you know it, you are hardpushed to keep up.

There are spring bulbs to

support and dead-head, border plants to stake and prop up to stop them flopping over.

And don’t forget, there are containers to get ready for the summer display, and sowings to make indoors and out. There is also planting and pruning to be done.

Here on the Island, pruning shrubs and bushes is almost a full-time job. Blink and

they’ve grown another foot!

If you think about it, there seems hardly enough time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour. But whatever you do, make sure you find that time to sit back and enjoy that delicious freshness of growth the garden offers in the next few weeks.

Spring? There’s no other season quite like it!

DANNI BYRNE Keeping you fit Email: danni.byrne@canarianweekly.com

Winter’s now over and it’s time to get set for the summer

No room for poor excuses

EVERY week, Carl provides you with excellent advice on how to take good care of your hair, but I’d like to give you some tips on how to look after your hands and feet.

WHEN you first start exercising, it may be hard to find motivation and easy to find excuses to get out of a training session.

With a different climate here in Tenerife, and tap water being harder, our skin suffers a lot if we don’t pay enough attention.

You can see it on your hands, when the cuticle area and the rest of the skin round your nails becomes a bit harder.

You can get rid of that with a good manicure, and once you do, use the following tips to keep your hands soft and healthy.

When cutting your nails, use a clipper or a nail file instead of scissors. Every night when you go to bed, put some oil or cream on your hands, so you can let it dry while watching TV. If you use cuticle oil, just put a few drops on your cuticle on each finger, and then rub it all around your nails, finishing on the fingertips.

In case you use a cream, just do the same. The only thing that matters is that the cream shouldn’t be heavy and greasy, because then it will not let the skin breath properly and, it will take ages to dry. Almond oils or creams are brilliant for dry skin, and they

Page 40

usually smell really nice as well.

The same thing is true for your feet. In case they are dry, you can start with a nice pedicure, then use a foot cream or body lotion, and oil every night or every second night, depending on how dry your feet are.

After a few days, you’ll see that it does make a difference, especially at this time of year when we slowly change the boots to pretty sandals and high heels, which don’t cover as much as the boots did.

Oh, and a very important

thing: if you have some bad, dry bits (usually on the sides by the big toe, or round the heels) do NOT try to get rid of them using a blade, or scissors!

I’ve seen it so many times, and keep telling my clients that it only makes things worse! Apart from the infections you can easily catch, the skin becomes a lot harder in no time.

Thank you very much for your attention, and in case you have any questions, I’m always more than happy to help. Feel free to contact or visit me at Robot.

If this is the case, and you find yourself moaning about being too poor, too tired or too busy to find the time, then here’s how you can save time, exercise on a budget and maintain your desire for fitness.

There are plenty of ways to keep fit without breaking the bank, or visiting a gym, and many ways to fit exercise into your busy life.

Time-saving exercise strategies The scourge of modernday living is that we never seem to have enough time for anything, it seems. One of the worst problems is having no time for all-round and long-term health: exercise.

Very often, exercise gets sidelined in favour of other things because “we’re just too busy”. However, making time for exercise is extremely important, and building regular exercise into your routine is a strategy for life.

Try these time-saving, planning ideas, which will make it easier to integrate exercise into your life and, most importantly, keep it there: Superset: This technique is a great time-saver and, if used correctly, can cut your exercise time by as much as 50% while still giving you the same results.

To superset, instead of having rest periods between two sets of an exercise, you select an alternative exercise which will rest the muscles you’ve just trained while working the opposite set of muscles.

For example, alternate your exercises for the chest and upper back, stomach and lower back, front and back of upper arm, front and back of thigh, and so on.

Exercise while travelling: Combining exercise with your daily travel to work will

save time for a separate session later. Try walking, cycling or even jogging to work.

Kick-start your day with exercise: You don’t have to do this every day of the week, but occasionally, try setting your alarm clock a little earlier and venture outside for a walk or jog while it’s still quiet.

The following ideas are either free or very cheap, – so there’s no excuse to miss out your sessions.

Go al fresco: The great outdoors is, basically, a free, open-air gym. Whether it’s a walk, a jog or some bodyweight exercises in your local park or even the back garden, exercising in the open air is fun, invigorating and, most importantly, free.

Get on your bike: This is another free, or cheap form of exercise to improve your cardiovascular fitness and build your leg strength.

Cycling is a fun activity and free, if you’ve got a bike already.

Pay-as-you-go exercise classes: A good exercise class can give you a great all-over workout, and is usually available at very little cost per session.

Swimming: A session in your local pool is certainly one of the cheaper exercise options on offer because there’s no time limit on your workout. Swimming is an excellent form of exercise and ideal if impact-type activities are unsuitable for you.

The home workout: If you want to work on your flexibility and tone up, then by acquiring a few basic items of equipment, you can train in the comfort of your own home, and at a time to suit you.

Now, on to maintaining your motivation for exercise. “Exercise is boring” and “I’m fed-up with my workout” are just two common complaints from people who struggle to keep their enthusiasm.

Keeping focused isn’t easy, but continuity is one of the keys to getting and staying fit, so it’s important to use

as many tools as possible to keep everything going. Dip into the realbuzz.com top three strategies for keeping your eye on the ball.

Having an exercise goal: There’s nothing like setting yourself a goal to foster commitment to exercise. By having a target to aim for, your sessions will have focus and purpose, and you’ll be more likely to factor exercise into your week as you work towards your goal.

New routines: Don’t get stuck in a rut with the same old boring exercise routine that you’ve always done. As well as not getting results, your motivation will suffer by keeping the same routine over a long period, and you’ll easily find an excuse not to work out.

So, step outside your comfort zone and try a new activity, such as an exercise class. Something new will revitalise you and reawaken your enthusiasm, so you’ll feel as though you really want to make time to work out.

Have an exercise pal: Make an arrangement with a friend to meet them and go walking, jogging or running together. These are all great cardiovascular exercises and, even better, they cost nothing.

The main benefit of exercising with another person is that there’s less of a chance that you’ll duck out of your exercise session because you’ve made that commitment.

This all adds up to no more excuses for ducking out of exercising. If you really want to achieve something, you’ll make the necessary sacrifices.

The keys are to choose activities you enjoy, so that you’ll want to continue with them. Plan your exercise so that it’s integrated into your week, and set targets.

None of these needs be expensive.

Whether it’s cost, time or motivation, keeping fit is easily achievable – so there’s really no excuse not to do it...

Drinking diet pop regularly may lead to a heart attack

Broken-home kids facing a tragic life THE breakdown of families is leading to a rise in mental illness that costs taxpayers upwards of £100 billion a year in the UK.

SUGAR-FREE fizzy drinks on a regular basis could lead to greater risks of a heart attacks or strokes.

That was the analysis gleaned from a study of more than 2,500 people, which found that those who consumed diet drinks every day had a 61% higher chance of experiencing vascular problems than those who did not have carbonated drinks.

Hannah Gardener, who led a research team at the University of Miami to look into the effects of low-cal pop, was concerned about the results.

“If our results are confirmed with future studies, it suggests that diet pop may not be the optimal substitute for sugar-sweetened beverages for protection against vascular outcomes.”

The research was presented at the American Stroke Association’s international stroke conference in Los Angeles, The participants had to state whether they drank diet fizzy drinks, regular fizzy drinks, a mixture of the two or none at all.

Researchers said the survey did not include data on the types of diet and regular drinks consumed, however, which could have given further information on how drinking different brands affected participants.

Dr Sharlin Ahmed, research liaison officer at The Stroke Association, said: “It is a wellknown fact that leading a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce your risk of having a stroke.

“According to this study, drinking diet fizzy drinks on a regular basis could pose the same or even higher risk for cardiovascular disease as standard fizzy drinks.

“But fizzy drinks in moderation will not be detrimental to your health. Everyone can reduce his/her risk of stroke by consuming a balanced diet, low in saturated fat and salt, and exercising regularly.”

Amy Thompson, senior cardiac nurse at the British Heart Foundation, said: “This research seems to show a link between diet fizzy drinks and a greater risk of having a heart attack, but it is unclear why this occurs.

“We’d need to see much more research before we could draw any definite conclusions.”

Children from broken homes are more likely to go on to suffer depression, commit crime and die younger, according to the Centre for Social Justice.

The organisation believes that mental illness often strikes when people are young, with half of lifetime mental illness, excluding dementia, starting by the age of 14, and 75% by the time people are in their mid-20s.

The report found that children with separated, single or step-parents were “50% more likely to fail at school”.

It says they also have “low self-esteem, experience poor peer relationships and have behavioural difficulties, anxiety or depression”.

It also found that family breakdown and conflict were considered to have the biggest adverse impact on

the well-being of children.

The SCJ also warned that depression and anxiety rates had risen for boys and girls aged 15 and 16 since the mid-1980s, as have behavioural problems such as lying, stealing and disobedience.

The think-tank’s report called for a renewed effort to break the stigma and fear

surrounding mental illness, the development of a family-focused approach to treating patients, a bigger role for family doctors and a greater emphasis on recovery from mental illness.

It added: “We are currently interested in family-based solutions, how the greater prevalence of mental disor-

der in some sections of the black and minority ethnic communities, and in the vulnerable, can be addressed.

“We are also interested in how stigma surrounding mental disorder can be reduced so that people access help earlier and are met with more understanding.”

The Mongolian BBQ THE Mongolian BBQ in El Mirador, Los Cristianos opened at the tail end of 2010 and is definitely proving it’s here to stay, with satisfied customers going back time after time.

Mongolian BBQ had been an idea for four years for its proprietors who researched the dynamic concept worldwide to get it to its present day format.

The Mongolian BBQ appears statuesque in its prime corner positioning; on the corner of the Mirador strip in Los Cristianos; as soon as you walk into the expansive terrace you become aware of the calibre of this new venue.

The dining space is outside, beautifully decorated and heated so as to create a great ambience. More importantly great attention has been paid to the spacing of the solid wooden tables, so that your conversation, elbows and backs of chairs do not interfere with other diners - which is an absolute delight.

Page 42

Personally the name Mongolian BBQ conjures up for me thoughts of strange meat cooked outside on a tra-

ditional BBQ – how wrong could I be!

You have to understand that Mongolia is a land locked country in East and Central Asia; directly surrounded by Russia and China, this has a great influence on its cuisine.

It’s a fusion of the cuisine from surrounding countries – an eclectic mix of flavours.

Mongolian barbecue is thought to have first appeared in Taiwan in the middle to late 20th Century, the stir frying of meat on large open surfaces is meant to evoke Mongolian traditions.

The tradition being that it’s said that the Mongolian barbecue dates back to the Mongol Empire when soldiers of the Mongol Empire would gather their meat, prepare it with their swords and cook on overturned shields over a large fire.

Fast forward to the present day in Tenerife. A large array of fresh fish, meat and vegetables are cooked on a large round plancha with temperatures of up to 600 degrees.

Firstly, you have a choice of soups to start with bread accompaniments, then armed with your bowl you intrepidly

walk to the buffet – there is such a vast array, what do you choose? Typically diners choose between various raw meats, fish and vegetables up to 15 different varieties and cut in different ways; once assembled with noodles or rice accompaniment you pass your bowl to one of the three chefs who will add your choice of sauce, (all of which are homemade, no processed foods are entertained here) Your own meal creation is then cooked in front of you – yes you will have to wait a few minutes for it to be cooked, but it’s like watching real art.

In addition to the Mongolian BBQ buffet there is a sushi bar, reminiscent of those in grand London department stores; sushi is made freshly in front of your eyes, so it’s great if you’ve never tried it before. Here there is an area of seating ideal for a pre-dinner aperitif.

The Mongolian Barbecue is continually developing through listening to its customers; ‘we want to continually improve ourselves, satisfying our customers more and more’ they told Canarian Weekly.

The Mongolian BBQ is open

every day from 5pm until 1am (last food order) this in itself is unique as it is difficult to find somewhere to eat after 10pm.

From talking to the proprietors of the Mongolian BBQ it becomes clear how much thought has been put into this new way of dining. It brings ‘the revival of the kitchen’ back to dining. If you’re looking for healthy options or vegetarian then again Mongolian BBQ is an ideal solution.

When being shown around new businesses I tend to go

‘off piste’ as it were to the areas that are out of bounds, on this occasion I was warmly invited to see the large storage areas, where there is even a water filter system that filters all the water used, even the water for the dishwasher!

‘In essence the Mongolian BBQ has something for every palette and is definitely worth a visit providing great value for money as it is eat as much as you like and included in the price is a glass of wine or small beer.’

Horoscopes of the week Aquarius (January 21st-February 19th) You have been bored of late, and people around you have noticed. You hate predictability, but all of this is about to change through events forced on you by Thursday. You should find yourself going somewhere new and exciting, and work should also prove successful. As for that family issue, it will soon be smoothed over.

PISCES (February 20th-March 20th) Don’t share secrets told two days ago because they are more explosive than you can imagine.

You are such a strong character that you are bound to disagree with people from time to time. Back down and use this week to plot your all-important next move because it could well be lifechanging.

ARIES (March 21stApril 20th) Fellow Aries are lucky for you and link to new work projects, which can bring you success, both short and long term. Too many opinions on a new face which has entered your life are blurring your usually good judgement, so it’s time to make up your own mind.

TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) Look out for Geminis trying to part you and your cash. Stand your ground and don’t become a victim of their emotional blackmail. It seems as though you have lost the ability to stand up for yourself, but events on Tuesday offer you the chance to reclaim your pride and self-esteem.

Foreign links could prove lucky during the week.

GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) So much of our time in life is spent doing what looks right

instead of what feels right. This is a week in which you will be finding out a lot about yourself, both your weaknesses and strengths. Use these lessons to work out what and whom you want.

But you will know nothing about a surprise secret – until, of course, it is uncovered.

CANCER (June 22ndJuly 23rd) Capricorns are lucky for you and are linked to prosperous business investments. You have felt recently as though you are not getting anywhere with your life. But if you stop running so fast for a moment and glance back, you’ll see just how far you’ve come. This is the ideal month for you to make that crossover in your career.

LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) Events from last week still need to be tied up and require a phone call. Midweek meetings link to love at first sight. You must not believe all the rumours that friends seem so intent on spreading. Make up your own mind, especially where love is concerned. Be aware that Jupiter can promise success.

VIRGO (August 24thSeptember 23rd) Fellow Virgos can keep that secret burning inside you, and they may even be able to advice you on it as well. The planets lift many of their restrictions, and events on Monday

should allow you to gain back the freedom which has made it so hard for you to make your intended progress.

LIBRA (September 24th-October 23rd) This is a week where many memories play on your mind. New places you visit, via a meeting, offer some sort of link to intriguing new educational paths. For now, though, relish that oft-promised wage increase you thought would never come about.

SCORPIO (October 24th-November 22nd) You have obviously had some problems juggling your finances recently, but new contacts link to fun with money midweek. All you have to do is draw on your experience. Family prove more tiresome than usual and you may have to go out of your way to accommodate an older person. But this sort of favour is well worth doing, as you will find out shortly.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rdDecember 21st) Memories from the past are making you biased over an issue, which is not nearly as serious as you’re making out. You must not take what a loved one is saying and doing too much to heart.

Sometimes, we all like to put our own interests first. Compromise offers you both a successful solution. And that could mean travel is on the horizon.

C A P R I C O R N (December 22ndJanuary 20th) Naughty offers at the weekend will make it hard for you to be able to tell the difference between right and wrong. Set some sort of boundary line for the sake of image, if nothing else.

You may not be aware of it, but you should look around and count up the number of new admirers you have.

Very hard

Paris in the Spring THE words are actually from Cole Porter’s I love Paris in the springtime lyrics, but why? It’s cold and wet, with a similar climate to the UK. But that doesn’t matter because Paris is the capital city of France and holds something magical.

It’s posh, but not pretentious, and there is something for everyone (that well-trodden phrase) but genuinely there is - whether it’s sightseeing, eating and drinking, the arts or entertainment, there is simply a wealth of activities.

Valentine’s Day has passed and though Paris is known as the lover’s city, that doesn’t stop you visiting at any other time you like.

From Tenerife, low-cost provider Ryanair provides twice-weekly flights to Paris Beauvais Airport, and other airlines fly direct to Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Beauvais-Tillé Airport, or Aéroport de Beauvais-Tillé, is located in Tillé, 3.5 km (2.2 miles) north-northeast of Beauvais, and is actually 85 km (53 miles) north of Paris.

So if you’re visiting the centre, be prepared for a longish transfer.

The airport is serviced by a shuttle to the city centre and a railway station, which operates eight times a day.

Many passengers use a private-scheduled coach for the 75-minute trip to Paris, ending beside the Palais des Congrès at Porte Maillot, located in the 17th arrondissement, approximately one kilometre west of the Arc de Triomphe.

Once you’ve touched down in one of the most denselypopulated capitals in Europe, the Parisian capital will conjure up different connotations for everyone.

Traditional - Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. Paris by day or Paris by night, the river city has, perhaps, more familiar landmarks than any other city in the world.

According to Wikipedia: “Paris has been ranked among the three most important and influential cities in the world.

It is among the first three “European cities of the future”, according to research published by Financial Times, and is among the top-ten cities in the world in which to live, according to the British review Monocle (June 2010).

Page 44

But it will come as no surprise that it comes to the top of the leader board as being one of the most expensive cities to live.

Paris and the surrounding area receive an estimated 45 million tourists per year.

The city is split into “quarters”, and there are two adjacent islands forming the centre of Paris: the Île de la Cité, home of Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Île SaintLouis a peaceful oasis of calm in the busy Paris centre with narrow, one-way streets and no metro station.

One of the region’s most prominent landmarks is the 1976-built Centre Georges Pompidou. Constructed in a highly-modern style, greatly contrasting with its surrounding architecture, it houses a permanent modern-art museum exposition, and has rotating expositions that keep to a theme of the post-pop art period.

The wide square in front is a preferred place for street performers, as its location is ideal for drawing a mix of both tourist and student spectators.

Le Louvre today is a museum, and, more recently, a shopping mall and fashionshow centre (Le Carrousel du Louvre).

The Palais Royal just to its north, and this quarter in

general has many 17th and 18th century buildings of large standing, as well as some of the more grandiose Paris constructions, namely along the avenue de l’Opéra.

La Opéra Centre quarter houses the city’s largest shopping centres (the Galleries Lafayette and Printemps), while the streets behind both sides of the avenue de l’Opéra have many Japanese restaurants, and most of the avenues in this area feature Duty-Free stores selling luxury brands.

The rue Saint Honoré is known for its luxury boutiques, selling all fashion labels. The Vendôme, around its famous Hôtel Ritz, is the centre of the Paris “Triangle d’Or” of jewellers.

The Place de la Concorde, to the western end of the Louvre’s Jardin des Tuileries, is a major stop for tourists (for its vista, fountains and Egyptian obelisk) and a panoramic introduction to the Champs-Élysées, which begins at its western extremity.

Les Champs-Élysées is easily Paris’ most touristic avenue, and almost every commerce along its entire length, between the rond-point des Champs-Élysées and its Arc de Triomphe, is geared to nothing else.

The buildings above the street-side boutiques are, for

the most part, Paris offices or residences for businesses the world over.

Montmartre is the highest hill in Paris, and second mostvisited tourist area.

It’s a very picturesque place to visit, and has one of the best views of the capital.

Today, Le Marais is most known for its square and uniformly-built Place des Vosges.

It is also the heart of gay Paris, with many gay cafés, bars and clubs.

The land just to the south of the Seine river, to the east of the Boulevard Saint-Michel, around its Sorbonne University, has been a centre of student activity since the early 12th century.

The surrounding neighbourhood is filled with many student-oriented commercial establishments such as bookstores, stationery stores and game shops.

The land to the north of the boulevard Saint-Germain, to the east of the Boulevard Saint-Michel, is one of the Rive Gauche’s few tourist oases.

Although its narrow streets are charming, as they have remained unchanged from medieval times, they are filled with souvenir shops and tourist-trap restaurants, and it is a quarter where few Parisians ever stray.

Just to the west from there

lies the École Militaire (Military School) built from 1751, but it is to the river end of its former parade ground that lies the foremost tourist attraction in Paris.

The Eiffel Tower, built by Gustave Alexandre Eiffel for the 1889 Universal Exposition, averages around six million visitors a year.

Personally, I would describe Paris as an eclectic mix of alfresco culture.

In March, there is a famous Blues Festival - an annual fiveweek fiesta of French and international jazz, blues, R&B, soul, funk, flamenco and world music.

In April, one of the world’s most picturesque marathons

takes place, with 35,000 runners heading from the Champs-Elysées along the Right Bank to the Bois de Vincennes, and back along the Left Bank to the Bois de Boulogne.

And in May, there is La Nuit des Musées (Night at the Museum) when, for one night, museums open their doors late for special events and entertainment.There are also various fashion weeks taking place in the spring.

This run-down is literally a “Toe-in-the-Seine” attempt to show you what is available in this colourful city. And the best advice is to go and see Paris in the spring for yourself.

Renault eyesore is a real insight into their future!

THIS ghastly-looking, space-age model is the future, according to Renault chiefs, who will unveil the Captur at next month’s Geneva Motor Show.

They hope the orange, crossover, concept car, which combines a convertible roadster with an SUV, will draw the crowds because it demonstrates Renault’s new design strategy, according to the French company.

That means we’ll probably have to get used to these unusual shapes because they’ll soon be built into the Clio and Mégane.

It seems a shame to me because I really like the comfortable Clio look, and I’ve also got used to the Mégane’s odd-shaped rear.

Yet the Captur has pulled something out of the bag by

putting together a two-seat roadster and an SUV, which makes it an innovative style of

crossover, and Renault actually reckon it is “ideal for a young couple about to dis-

cover the world”. Not too sure about that, but Captur designer Julio Lozano obvi-

ously sees the bigger picture.

He says it is inspired by “the image of a sprinter on the starting blocks, his muscles tensed, and the energy unleashed when the starting pistol is fired.”

Whatever! But the Captur is certainly different. It is capable of off-roading, but has a hardtop which reveals an exposed carbon-fibre framework when removed, almost like a supercar.

The interior is even more unusual, with the dashboard, steering wheel and transmission tunnel covered in an opaque “second skin” material with orange back-lighting.

The seats are attached to the centre console to give the effect of being suspended in mid-air, and there’s a head-up display.

Behind the seats is a “multipurpose area” with a floor lined by three layers of rope inspired by mountain climb-

ing, we’re told by Renault.

This lay-out makes it a versatile luggage-carrier and “provides an opportunity for relaxation, thanks to the supple elasticity of the structure”. In plain English, that means it works like a hammock.

The Captur is not all motor show madness, though, because its Energy dCi 160 engine will soon see showrooms replacing the current 1.9-litre dCi turbo-diesel in the Renault range.

The 158bhp 1.6-litre diesel engine has two turbos, so it has oodles of low-rev pulling power, yet CO2 emissions of less than 99g/km.

There’s no information to hand on when the engine hits the shops, or even when a car that looks like the Captur will.

We will just have to wait, with bated breath, for Renault to reveal more in Geneva next month.

Toyota cleared over electronic faults A 10-month American inquiry into faulty Toyota models has exonerated the company of all blame.

Despite a series of recalls in 2009 and 2010 involving more than 12 million motors, the report declared the cars free of electronic faults.

Reports by Toyota owners involved in accidents suggested that their cars had “minds of their own” and were prone to surges of acceleration.

Floor mats, sticky accelerator pedals, software faults and steering problems were all attended to during the recalls.

Electronic, software-driven models were mostly blamed

for the mystery accelerating during one of the recalls, and Toyota were forced to stop selling several models.

However, the lengthy report, conducted by the US Department of Transportation, found that driver error alone was responsible for the accelera-

tion, and had nothing to do with the electronics.

Officials even enlisted the help of top-light engineers from the NASA space agency during the inquiry.

As a result of the verdict, a relieved Toyota company the world’s largest car manufacturer - saw their profits

jump by 5.2% in Tokyo immediately.

American Transport Secretary Ray LaHood said: “There is no electronic-based cause for unintended highspeed acceleration in Toyota.

We feel that Toyota vehicles are safe to drive.”

Officials in America also

said that mechanical problems that had been fixed in previous recalls by Toyota were believed to be behind the acceleration problems.

Toyota were reported to have paid the US Government $48.8 million (£30.3m) in fines as a result of the recalls.

Do the Lambeth Walk - it’s so much cheaper!

A ROAD in South London, less than half-a-mile long, raised £914,040 in fines from drivers last year - the most in the city.

Two bus-lane cameras and traffic wardens generated

16,800 fines on Clapham Park Road, Lambeth, which were worth as much as £2,500 per day.

A Lambeth Council spokesman said: “This is an extremely busy area, used by thousands of vehicles a day, and a minority of motorists add to the congestion by driving in the bus lane.”

Tapia turns the tide CD Tenerife 2 Rayo Vallecano 1 SOMETHING is stirring in Santa Cruz. I have no idea what has happened on the training ground, but CD Tenerife have suddenly turned a massive corner.

Their 2-1 victory at Salamanca, coupled with last Sunday’s excellent win over league leaders Rayo, has seen a huge momentum shift.

Suddenly, Tenerife are looking and playing like the team everyone expected them to be at the start of the season. They are a yard quicker, noticeably fitter and the confidence is back to promotion-season levels.

They are using width, the centre-backs seem to be communicating and Nino is playing with a smile.

Let's enjoy it while we can!

The Rayo win made it backto-back victories and six matches unbeaten. Tenerife have gone from being seven points adrift to being level on goal-difference with the safety places.

It has been an excellent few weeks, and quite a change from the despair of the Derby draw with Las Palmas.

Tenerife tails were up after the win in Salamanca. They were without both firstchoice central midfielders in Mikel Alonso and Ricardo, plus new boy Kitoko, who played well the week before.

But this just gave Hidalgo the responsibility he craves.

He was magnificent against Rayo, lording the middle of the park. Dubarbier was busy

Page 46

down the left flank and Alvarez was having a rare, fine game.

Rayo have hit the top of the table almost by default.

They have been knocking on the door for the last few seasons, and this may be there year. They are a decent team but, for me, not a patch on Celta and Real Betis.

Against Tenerife they looked a little leggy. Their record in Santa Cruz is shocking and they never looked like recording only their second win in 25 matches in the Island’s capital.

The hosts were much more compact in the first half.

They carved out a few decent opportunities, and even though Rayo hit the bar from a freak corner-kick, there was only one team who were going to break the deadlock.

This came shortly after the hour mark when referee Pino Zamorano, who normally favours the visitors in Santa Cruz, gave a penalty for an Arribas handball.

The incident happened right in front of my commentary position. It was con-

troversial. One mainland journo went nuts, but it seemed to hit Arribas on the arm, and he was on the edge of the area. And as we know, on the line is inside.

After a lengthy delay, Antonio Hidalgo stepped up and smashed the ball past Cobeño. But Zamorano wasn’t happy. He ordered a retake for encroachment. It was harsh but having watched the game on TV since, he was right.

Dani Kome and Nino are

well inside the area. It was all academic anyway as Hidalgo held his nerve and thumped the ball past the keeper for a second time.

I’ve lost count of the number of times Tenerife have sat back when ahead this season, and they deserve credit for staying positive.

They kept their shape and went forward at every opportunity.

It paid off for them when Arribas, who had a shocker of a match, misguided his backwards header. Nino sensed the half-chance and was on to it in a flash. The ball dropped invitingly for him and he guided it over the out-rushing Cobeño.

Nino deserved the acclaim as he has not got his rewards this season. Game in, game out, he runs through a brick wall for the cause. His beaming smile summed up the feeling in the stadium.

Rayo were shell-shocked, but they showed their class as they rolled up their sleeves and had a go. Twice Arragoneses produced fine saves and, after an Armenteros shot struck a post, hit Sicilia and trickled the wrong side of the upright, they must have known it was not going to be their day.

At the death, they won a non-penalty for an alleged push by Sicilia - trust me it's the softest pen you will ever see - which Armenteros converted. But it was far too late.

Canarian Weekly ratings CD Tenerife: Sergio Aragoneses 8, Marc Bertrán 7, Ezequiel Luna 7, Pablo Sicilia 6, Greg Beranger 7, Julio Álvarez 7, Antonio Hidalgo 8, Kome 7 (Juanlu Hens 63min 6), Natalio 6, Dubarbier 7 (Omar 76min 6),

Nino 7 (Melli 82min).

Rayo Vallecano: Cobeño 7, Coke 7, Arribas 4, Borja 7, Casado 6, Javi Fuego 7, Movilla 6, Trejo 7 (Delibasic 77min 6), Míchel 5 (David Aganzo 58min 6), Piti 7, Armenteros 7.

Tomorrow (Saturday), Tenerife travel to secondplace Celta Vigo for another tough encounter. They will

be without the suspended Pablo Sicilia, but may have the previously-mentioned central midfielders back.

Next weekend, Tenerife have a rare Friday-night match against Xerez. The 8pm kick-off is to satisfy Spanish TV demands and, after Tenerife’s eye-pleasing display against Rayo, it may be a sign of things to come.

Knights B had to rely on the trebles leg to earn a hardfought 5-3 win over Yelas Bar, while the Tavern recorded the same scoreline as they beat Rood B (Mark 180).

The Naturals and the Playgirls did not have to travel far to play out a 4-4 draw, but the same could not be said about Marilyns, after they

Phoenix Flames’ bad mama Maddie got the only point for her side in a difficult match at Naughty Nautas, and Bar 180 B continued a decent run of form with a 5-3 success over Woodys B. Tonight’s matches (Friday) include the semi-finals of the John Lowe team handicap competition. Good luck to all the teams involved.

Tuesday, 1st March: Liberty Seguros Knock-Out Cup Quarter-final draw Toscales Old Boys v Terrace Bar A Trap Door v Inn The Pink Hoops v Summerland Allstars Palms A v Bar 180 A Liberty Seguros Plate Quarter-final draw Lupain v Summerland Elite Bar Tasca v Rat Pack Barracuda Bandits v Atlantis Sharks Legends B v Nauta A This week saw a return to the bread-and-butter of the league action. With leaders Palms A not in action, Superstars went to the head of the table after a derby victory over Allstars.

Tenerife Hammers A were a little lucky to fight back from three down to beat Legends A 7-3. The visitors wasted some decent chances to seal a famous win.

Atlantis Sharks had an eyecatching 8-2 win over Target, while Bar 180 A, 180 B and Hoops were also victorious.

Gaffers stay top of Division

Two after victory over Terrace B, while Legends B huffed and puffed before eventually seeing off Toscales Tangos to stay a point behind.

Bar Tasca and Phoenix Potters won to maintain their title charge, while Tenerife Hammers C and Inn The Pink still have promotion dreams after Tuesday’s wins.
