El Hierro on yellow alert

Issue 723 30 September - 6 October 2011

GENUINE fears of a volcanic eruption on El Hierro were felt strongly yesterday (Thursday) as 53 people had been evacuated on Wednesday, following increased seismic activity there.

They were transferred from their homes in the town of Frontera to a school in Valverde, the island’s capital, on the advice of the Guardia Civil, as a Yellow Alert was sounded, yet they were allowed to return home yesterday. More than 150 tremors were recorded on Tuesday, with 79 of them measuring between 2 and 3.8 on the Richter scale. And the National Geographic Institute recorded a further 34 earthquakes between midnight and 6.30am yesterday, the strongest again measuring 3.8, which was felt all over the island. The earthquakes were centred on Frontera and were 14-18 kilometres below the surface. Police feared the tremors could cause landslides in that area. The last eruption on El Hierro - smallest of the Canary Islands - which has around 250 small volcanic craters, was in 1793 and lasted a month, but more than 8,000 tremors have been recorded there since 19th July this year. The last one to rock the Canaries was just 40 years ago, on La Palma. Schools on the 108 square-mile island, which is home to approximately 10,000 people, have been closed and a tunnel linking the two main towns - Frontera and Valverde - has been shut. The army has also been called in to prepare for a possible mass evacuation. However, Spanish news agency EFE said there was only a 15% “probability” of an imminent eruption and officials ruled out the need for a mass evacuation on Wednesday. Even so, the Emergency Military Unit (UME) was deployed to El Hierro the same day, as a precaution, to assist the local emergency services if necessary. Continued on page 8

Jose Alberto González Reverón and Clara Maria Pérez, Mayor and Councillor of Arona Social Services respectively, officially reopened La Camella’s clubhouse last Friday. A large number of residents, as well

the boards of other major authorities of the municipality, turned out for the ceremony. The centre’s refurbishment took longer than expected to complete because the building was in a poor state, but González Reverón said: “We have now reopened it in the best possible condition.” The Mayor added: “The older generations of La Camella now have a quality place for their leisure activities.”

Next in line for an update in the Arona municipality, hopefully next year, are the centres in El Fraile and Las Galletas, which, said the Mayor, “would complete the network of resources for the elderly here”. Meanwhile, Clara Maria Pérez urged the authorities for senior citizens of each municipality to come together, strengthening associations so that they can manage their own resources independently.

THIS week’s temporary closure of Guaza’s Secondary School for safety reasons has left pupils and parents up in arms.

So much so that they planned to stage protests outside the school to express their discontent over Tuesday’s shut-down. But officials say vital building work must be carried out immediately, and students have been transferred to the IES in Las Galletas for afternoon classes. Local authorities were told of the decision on Tuesday by Miguel Angel Mendez, Arona’s Education Councillor, who stressed: “In an emergency situation, take emergency measures.” He also reassured angry parents that the remedial work should take no more than six weeks.

Mendez expressed his firm support for families and teachers affected by the closure, he added: “I know that all members of the educational community will suffer changes in both their professional and family life.”

Last year, it made a net profit of 2,594bn euros, but the Finance Ministry said the current market forces would not guarantee an adequate income from the privatisation. It would have been the biggest privatisation in Spain's history and formed a key part of the Government plans for a much-needed boost to income in today’s financial turbulence. The decision to sell was made at the end of April but the Finance Ministry said: “The market now is very different from what it was then.” The spokesman added: “The operation can be taken up again when market circumstances make it advisable.”

Don’t be frightened to visit your dentist

Hot, Hot, Hot! Britain drenched in sunshine

BRITAIN is set to bask in glorious sunshine for the next few days as a spell of unseasonably hot weather sweeps across the country. A high-pressure system over the Continent means the UK is in for a five-day stretch of sunny skies and temperatures well above average for the time of year. The hot, dry air from southern Europe is expected to push temperatures up to highs of 28C by Saturday – a good 10C above the norm, and hotter than parts of Hawaii. So, after one of the coldest British summers in recent years, roads are expected to be crammed this week as sunseekers flock to the coast. Supermarkets are reportedly ordering in extra stocks of sausages and burgers for what could be the last chance for a barbecue before the cold months draw in. And ice-cream vans will be heading out in force as businesses affected by the weather put autumn on hold. But spare a thought for poor old George and Janice, say. Having put on a brave face for months, they booked a week’s holiday in sunny Tenerife a few weeks ago, and are arriving today! They are going to be devastated, surely! Okay, so we are

Page 4

having a particularly fine spell right now, but to be fair, it’s generally T-shirt-and-shorts weather out here, and you nearly always get that lovely, warm-weather feeling as you step off the plane. How are they going to feel when they open tomorrow’s daily paper to read about the exceptional weather back home? Actually, they will probably have left dear old Blighty in bright sunshine, with an empty feeling in their hearts, and even emptier pockets, having forked out for a foreign holiday they didn’t really need. And they won’t be alone because you can bet your boots (or flip-flops) that hundreds, even thousands of others, will have had the same idea: “Let’s find the sun and go home with a nice tan!” Oh dear, life really can be so unfair sometimes. Their only consolation is that the alternative this weekend, almost certainly, will have been to head for the coast, Any coast where there’s a beach. But the plus side is that unless they set off at midnight or in the early hours, they will surely be stuck in traffic jams for miles and miles. So maybe our lovely Island isn’t such a bad idea after all. Off the plane, into coach, off the coach, in to hotel, then off to the pool or bar – or both!

Did you know that one in four of us has a fear of the dentist.

According to a British Dental Association survey there are 25% of people who are afraid of visiting the dentist. Dr Carole Boyle, from King's College London, said, "some people blame the cost because it's easier than saying they're frightened." The most common, and least severe, is simply a fear of the unknown. This may arise if you’ve heard horror stories from other people or you're worried about what could happen. Dental phobia is similar to dental fear but is more severe. It's often the result

of a bad past experience. For some people, dental phobia can be so crippling that simply seeing a toothpaste advert or a dental surgery can cause distress. "Find an understanding dentist," says Dr Boyle. "Ask friends and family if they can recommend one or look for someone who advertises themselves as dealing with anxious patients." Last week Canarian Weekly visited the Dental Clinic in Los Abrigos, Dental Clinic – Medical Implant. As well specializing in implants and cosmetic dentistry they also carry out day to day general dentistry. They are totally understanding of your

fears and concerns, they use the latest technology so even when you have your teeth cleaned there’s none of the normal scraping that puts people off. With their own laboratory they produce their own materials, the latest thing is that they can put in a tiny implant so that your dentures will never move again, how cool is that. General Director Aldo Della Schiava told Canarian Weekly that they are one of the only dental establishment in Spain to receive the TUV quality assurance recognition meaning that they are fully certified.

Bee competition The Tenerife Cabildo has approved the groundwork for the convening of the fifteenth edition of the Regional Honey Competition organized through the Casa de la Miel de Tenerife, as agreed by the Governing Council at its last island meeting.

The island councillor of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Jose Joaquin Bethencourt, explained that this event, is one that records greater participation in Spain, "it has been a major advance in the utilization and dissemination of the excellent honey produced in the Island and, in general, in the Canary Islands." The products submitted must have been collected in the Islands this year by beekeepers whose holdings are registered in the register of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the de

Canarias. "One of the requirements to be met by the product, which is new this year is that at least 100 kilos are available to be traded after the contest," said Jose Joaquin Bethencourt. Products may be unifloral or multifloral from the coast, mountain or summit. There will be a prize for presentation, to which honey packers may choose only

packaged product from the Canary Islands. Bee Keepers must deliver their entries before the 14th of October. The Minister recalled that the island last year participated in the competition a total of 90 samples. Tenerife had the most honey presented, 58, followed by La Palma (24), La Gomera (3), El Hierro (3) and Gran Canaria (2).

Spanish election call

Following an extraordinary session of the Council of Ministers and official notification to the King of Spain, the President of the Government has called general elections to be held on 20th November.

The Royal Decree approved on Monday, 26th September, at the Council of Ministers to dissolve Parliament and call general elections will be published in the BOE [Official State Gazette]. The election campaign, which will take place over the course of a fortnight, will begin at midnight on Friday, 4th November, and will conclude at midnight on Friday, 18th November. The opening session of the new Parliament will be held on 13th December. The President of the Government said that, as is established by the Constitution, the current Government will exercise its powers in full until 20 November, at which time it will assume the status of caretaker government. The President of the Gov-

ernment went on to say that various laws have been approved in recent days, which were already in the final stages of being processed (twelve this month), including the Recognition and Comprehensive Protection for the Victims of Terrorism Act, the Public Health Act and the law to expedite juridical procedures. Six decree-laws have also been passed to Parliament for validation and a constitutional reform has been approved of "unquestionably far-reaching consequences for the credibility and future of our country". The President of the Government, JosĂŠ Luis RodrĂ­guez Zapatero, thanked Parliament for "its intense work" over the last few weeks and throughout the legislature and expressed his "gratitude" to all the ministers who have formed part of his Governments, gratitude that he extended to all officials and his closest co-workers. However, "above all", he expressed his gratitude to the people of Spain for having

entrusted to him the responsibility of running the Government of Spain. "I cannot think of a greater honour", said the President of the Government. To conclude, the President of the Government expressed his "absolute confidence in Spain, in the future of Spain and the Spanish people" because "we have built ourselves a great country" and that is why "I know we will overcome our current difficulties sooner rather than later" and, in doing so, we will have demonstrated "our capacity to make a joint commitment together for the future of everyone". In response to questions from the press, the President of the Government described the statement made by ETA prisoners as "a significant step towards an end to the violence" and added that "with as much caution as this matter requires, we are undoubtedly approaching that moment", which is the result of a "considerable collective effort by all democrats and this Government".

Euro spending According to the Tourist Expenditure Survey (EGATUR) drafted by the Institute for Tourism Statistics of the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Trade, foreign tourists spent a total of 36,808 million euros in Spain and the Canaries in the first eight months of the year, up 8.6% on the same period last year.

This level of expenditure is a new all-time high since EGATUR records began to be kept in 2004 and exceeds the previous record of 36,213.6 million euros spent by foreign tourists between January and August 2008. Average daily spending in the first eight months of 2011 stood at 99 euros (up 3.3%), while average spending per tourist stood at 925 euros (up 0.7% on the same period in 2010).

30 September - 6 October 2011

Foreign tourists spent a total of 7,326 million euros in August, up 7.8%. This figure represents the largest monthly total expenditure since the EGATUR survey was launched and is higher than August 2008, when total expenditure stood at 6,948.7 million euros. Average daily spending in August rose by 0.3% to 98 euros, while average spending per tourist fell by 1.5% to 961 euros. Tourists from the United Kingdom accounted for 1,539 million euros of total tourist expenditure, a decline of 0.7% on the previous year. The Balearic Islands was the autonomous region where most of this British spending took place. German tourists spent 9.6% more (1,011 million euros) in August 2011 than in the previous year. Almost all German spending was concentrated in the Balearic Islands.

Germans agree bailout scheme

As we go to print German politicians have voted overwhelmingly in favour of new rules to extend the powers of the 380bn £ eurozone bailout fund.

The plan, agreed by eurozone leaders on July 21, is to allow money in the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) to be spent on buying small amounts of government debt to prevent the need for full-scale bailouts of troubled members. Germany's parliament confirmed 523 MPs voted to back the proposal, 85 voted against it and 3 abstained. The decision over the EFSF's power now rests with the eurozone nations that have yet to vote: Austria, Cyprus, Malta, Estonia, the Netherlands and Slovakia. In Germany, opinion polls suggest widespread opposition among the public and even MPs within Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling coalition had threatened to vote 'No'. That would have been a stinging blow for her authority - however a breakdown of the vote showed Mrs Merkel won approval with her own coalition majority. "This is a strong statement of support for Angela Merkel," said her parliamentary leader Peter Altmaier. Mrs Merkel, Europe's most powerful leader, is treading a difficult line. She must placate an electorate that is growing increasingly weary of being asked to subsidise its wayward neighbours, while doing what needs to be done to preserve the euro project - whose failure would have devastating consequences across the continent. Finland was the previous eurozone member to have

Page 6

ratified the enhanced EFSF, having done so on Thursday. But deadlock remains over its support for the second 110bn-euro Greek bailout, which a eurosceptic party in its coalition government is threatening to block unless Athens offers collateral for the loans. The European Commission nevertheless has said it is confident the plan will have been fully approved by the middle of October. But even before they implement the plans (which were seen as radical back in July), eurozone leaders have been sent back to the drawing board to find an even more dramatic solution to the debt crisis. A new strategy emerged after a meeting of the G20 group of the world's biggest economies in Washington last Friday. They set a deadline of November 3rd for a radical new plan to "save the euro". Eurozone members have until then to shore up their banks so that they can cope with a default of up to 50% on Greek sovereign debt. But a fresh wave of discord is emerging between Berlin and Washington over its suggestion to increase the spending power of the EFSF from 380bn to 1.7trn through 'leverage'. That would mean the money already in the fund would be used as security to borrow even more to add to it. Germany's finance minister, Wolfgang Schauble, has labelled it as "stupid" because it could push up borrowing costs for everyone else, including Germany. Backers of the more radical route hope such statements are more of an electoral ploy than economic policy.

The sun in Adeje

The mayor of Adeje, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, accompanied by the Councillor for Culture, Nayra Medina Bethencourt, the pastor of Adeje Honorio Campos, presented the programme of activites for the festivities in the municipality for 2011, starting from the 1st – 12th October.

The celebrations this year have been organised under the theme of the Sun, as a key element in the municipality's history from aboriginal times until today's economy based on tourism. The event was also the official for the representatives of the area: Danie-

la Felipe Rodríguez de Las Nieves, Sara Martin Tijoco Rivero - La Hoya, Laura Fernandez Ruiz de Los Olivos, Armeñime Dayana Gonzalez Armas, Katherina Medina Borges, Carla Espinosa Esquivel Fanabe and Adeje town. Rodríguez Fraga armly greeted them, he defined them as "the pretty young faces, that play an important role, are a reflection of a youth committed to respond and are responding to the circumstances of time and for this reason I say that I am particularly proud of the young people in Adeje, because they always remember their roots. " The mayor stressed that all the events are very important and men-

tioned among them the traditional descent of the Virgin of the Incarnation on Saturday October 1 at six o'clock. Following at nine in the evening at the Centro Cultural de Adeje, will be held the Gala. On Friday October 7th there will be the official presentation of the representatives of the municipality with the Gala Show, at which the well-known singer Pastora Soler will perform. The parade of floats will be on Saturday 8th October from nine in the evening. The Seven Islands Folk Festival will be held in the Plaza on Tuesday October 11th from ten at night and Wednesday October 12th, will be the great pilgrimage and offering.

Candelaria - 350 kilos of waste removed The Tenerife Cabildo removed 350 kilos of waste from the beach of Candelaria, during the cleanup day which was held last Saturday as part of the new edition of the Campaign ‘clean the sea’, an initiative that takes place each year in conjunction with the Office of Environmental Participation and Volunteers, under the area of Environment, Sustainability and Aguas del Cabildo de Tenerife.

This activity brought together more than 300 people including 20 divers, on a voluntary basis, they spent the morning touring the beach in search of waste. As for the type of rubbish that was collected, it was mainly plastic bottles, cigarette butts, cans, plastic bags and plastic debris, as well as glass bottles and batteries. In total, 150 kilos of waste from the beach and 200 kilos from the sea. The Minister of Environment, Sustainability and Aguas del Cabildo de Tenerife, Ana Lupe Mora, who spent the day with the volunteers wanted to thank, once again, the willingness of all those people who, in an altruistic way, came to the beach of Candelaria to perform a task

"as necessary as it is to protect and conserve the biodiversity of the area." "Marine litter remains a serious problem and efforts like this, carried out by volunteers, indicating that citizens are willing to take the neces-

sary steps to solve this problem that affects us all" Inspiring a change in mentality and encouraging people to become environmental volunteers is just one of the main purposes.

Drugs operation by customs puts their officials on a high! A HUGE heroin haul of 150 kilos - Spain’s second-largest ever - was seized by customs officers at Cadiz on Wednesday after an operation lasting weeks.

The drugs were hidden in a container ship from Pakistan on its way to the Ivory Coast, and customs had been monitoring its progress for some time. Agents of the Risk Analysis Unit (Unidad de Análisis de Riesgos - UAR) joined customs officials in Algeciras (Cádiz) and pounced on the unsuspecting crew. Nuria Carracedo, deputy head of customs in Algeciras, said it was the biggest seizure

of heroin in Spain following a Barcelona raid by the National Police in Sitges back in August 2008, when 316 kilos of heroin were uncovered. The delighted customs official said that her department had tracked the container “for a number of weeks”. A UAR statement said the container had been “flagged” for inspection upon arrival in Algeciras and stressed that the opening of the pallets had been especially complex because of the nature of the cargo described officially. The shipment had been declared as iron oxide powder, and heroin had been camouflaged inside 300 cylinders, each of 500gm, and

all hidden in the foundation and framework of 24 cargo pallets. Authorities in Cadiz say further arrests are pending as the police investigate directors and employees of the transport and recipient companies. The market value of the drug depends on its degree of purity, which will be determined by the Foreign Health department. However, Lt Fernando de Cózar, from the Algeciras port civil guard, said the purest heroin could be worth up to 35,000 euros per kilo, which could be increased if the drug were cut with other substances.

Amazon is getting ready to carve through the Spanish retail sector Online retailer Amazon is now open in Spain, and the news has been welcomed by those who already use its services in the UK and Europe.

Initially, only physical material will be sold, such as books, music, videos and electronic goods. Over the past year, Amazon has been buying up literature from Spanish bookshops to offer them on its web. That has sorted out the physical problems, but reaching a deal on e-books is proving more difficult for the cut-price company.

That is why the Spanish version at www.amazon.es will not have e-books for its Kindle reader - for now, at least. The company is already popular in Spain, where the MRW vans can be seen delivering Amazon packages every day, and not just for expats. Many Spaniards have been using Amazon to bring lower-priced electronics to Spain with the minimum of fuss and good guarantees. Items such as cameras are generally cheaper on Amazon than from major Spanish retailers, and it is reckoned that one million

Spaniards are already visiting Amazon websites every month. Amazon’s introduction to Spain could have serious implications for the Spanish online and offline markets as well because of its reliability. Buying on-line in the US or the UK is now a regular occurrence and is considered safe, thanks to Amazon. But in Spain, many people do not regard it as the normal way to shop. Come the Amazon revolution, however, and it will surely become the norm in Spain - and in Tenerife, of course!

Jazzy is ‘All that’ Jazzy hair and beauty salon, located in Callao Salvaje, has been thriving in the Pearly Grey complex for three years now; which many service-related businesses can not profess in this current economic climate.

Cut your speed! WATCH your speed! That’s the message from Spain’s Guardia Civil officers, who will be enforcing their latest campaign against speeding on the roads. They began monitoring 2,000 stretches of road across the mainland and islands with 295 mobile speed-detectors, and the traffic police expect to run the rule over at least 100,000 cars per day. Spain’s ministry of traffic, the Dirección

30 September - 6 October 2011

General de Tráfico (DGT), says 427 people died in 389 car accidents last year, with speeding one of the main causes. And in the first six months of the year, 140 people were killed on Spain’s roads. Pere Navarro DGT’s Director-General, believes a 5% reduction in the average speed could reduce fatal accidents by 20%. And all motorists here in Tenerife are also asked to bear that in mind, especially when they get that urge to put their foot down and ignore speed limits.

But what is the reason for their success? A myriad of small aspects when put together as a whole mean that Jazzy is head and shoulders above the rest, (if you’ll excuse the pun) – yes, Jazzy is a little way out in Callao Salvaje, but there is a massive free car park opposite. In the hair salon they are up to date with the latest trends and colours and on the beauty side the cavitation machine which makes those unwanted inches disappear is going down a bomb. But it’s not just that,

the staff are friendly, talk through your requirements, putting clients at their ease which is proven by the number of returning clients they have. A session on the cavitation machine is cheaper than you would pay in the UK with many clients coming back time and time again. The cavitation machine uses ultrasound to break down the fat cells and cellulite through manipulation techniques via the machine. The process is totally non invasive and totally safe. The uniqueness of this treatment is that it can target specific areas where you want inch loss. The scientific process has long been known in the Physics world and recently has been brought into the aesthetic beauty business. Don’t forget the Christmas party season is not far

away, it’s one way to fit into that outfit! From the hair perspective in the Jazzy salon hair extensions are the latest trend, in addition to the latest cuts. This autumn clients are veering toward warm tones and block colours with a little hair art for those who want something a little special. Proprietor Kim told Canarian Weekly, “The crisis hasn’t stopped us here, now we are finding that when people have a little spare money they tend to spend it on themselves, it makes them feel better.” So whether you want your hair put up, a few false lashes for the weekend then Jazzy are all that. If you want to feel special pop down to Jazzy, it’s literally five minutes down the road from Lidl and Mercadona in Adeje. Tel: 922 743 539 or text 662 937 821.

El Hierro on yellow alert

Exposaldo 2011

Continued from page 1 And though Alpide Armas, President of El Hierro’s Cabildo, stressed: “It’s not going to happen. We will not need to evacuate 4.000 people,” some islanders still harboured serious concerns for their welfare. Only two months ago, when El Hierro was hit by an astonishing 720 small earthquakes in a week many clustered at the base of the volcano there - scientists saw no reason to press the panic button. “The situation is perfectly normal,” was the verdict after a special meeting between experts and the island authorities. But those same scientists believed at the weekend that the frequency and intensity of the tremors were set to increase. A receptionist at the Hotel Parador, in the seaside resort of Roque de Bonanza, told Canarian Weekly on Wednesday morning while the risk-factor still appeared high: “We’re about 40 kilometres from Frontera and we haven’t heard a thing. “The situation is perfectly normal here and the kids are going to school as usual. We honestly wouldn’t have known what was happening if we hadn’t been listening to the radio or watching the TV.” A statement from Tenerife’s British Consulate, which is also responsible for El Hierro, read: “Over the past 12 months there have been over 8,000 tremors in El Hierro, most below 1.5 on the Richter scale. “Last weekend, there were two larger tremors measuring 3.4 and 3.2 on the Richter scale." The island is not that popular for

British residents and it is thought that only a handful reside there. A message to “stay calm” was issued by the Canary Island Government, which said it was “very attentive” to the indications coming from the scientists and the appropriate authorities. Volcano expert Juan Carlos Carrecedo said: “There is a ball of magma rising to the surface producing a series of ruptures which generate seismic activity. “We don’t know if that ball of magma will break through the crust and cause an eruption,” but he warned that an eruption was possible “within days, weeks or months”. David Calvo, Environmental Research Division, ITER, Tenerife told Canarian Weekly directly from El Hierro: “The population are feeling the quakes, and last night's was the worst, if indeed there is an eruption we don’t know where it will be: alternatively, it may all just quieten down.” “We are monitoring gas, pressure and soil temperature changes, a large sustained tremor would be a volcanic sign of an imminent eruption and the quakes will get stronger possibly reaching 5.0.” Some 60% of El Hierro is classed as a protected area and, since 1997, officials have undertaken an ambitious project which means that, within a few years, the island should be self-sufficient in renewable energies. In fact, it will be the first island in the world to be fully sustainable - provided, of course, fears of a volcanic eruption there are not rekindled.

Breaking news

As we go to print, the State Committee for Co-ordination of Civil Protection Volcanic Risk are on pre-alert status in case there are further developments during the weekend. They plan to reassess the risk on Monday. The Committee, made up of representatives from the various government departments, explained that they are monitoring the situation at all times and that the resources from the whole of the Canary Islands are on standby if needed.

Exposaldo 2011 brings together over one hundred companies. The winter edition was born three years ago with the aim of facilitating the reduction of stocks and product rotation. The Cabildo of Tenerife presented at a news conference 'Exposaldo 2011' which will be held from the 6th to 10th October

in Santa Cruz, in order to sell products in liquidation, offers, auctions or stock and which will bring together 125 companies. The winter edition was born three years ago with the aim of facilitating the reduction of stocks, the turnover of products and thus promote the sale of excess stock products in the shops of the island. This

new edition will bring the show 'Top Brand Outlet' which will bring together around 40 stores to offer only brand name products. At the fair you will find all kinds of products: textiles, accessories, footwear, appliances, toys, decor, household vehicles, equipment, etc. "There will be musical entertainment, a playground for children so

families can go and shop safely," said the Minister of Development Economic, Trade and Employment, Efraín Medina. A total of 125 companies will attend the 'Exposaldo 2011' The director of the Fair, Ricardo Palacio noted that new this year is the space dedicated to brands that will be a total of 30 stands, because "we must renew or die ".

Tenerife records August increase in tourist trade Tenerife recorded in the month of August a total of 486,665 tourists staying, a figure which represents an increase of 4.6 percent over the same month of 2010.

According to provisional data of the incoming tourism statistics prepared by the City Council and reviewed by the Research Department of Tourism Tenerife, the results are positive both at hotels (+5.9%) and non-hotel establishments (+2.6%). The vice president and chief executive of the Cabildo Insular de Turismo, Carlos Alonso, highlighted the excellent performance of foreign tourism, which allows offsetting the decrease of domestic customers. "These good results mean a favourable impact on the two main tourist areas, especially in the North, where even a slight rise in the Spanish tourism (+0.2%) is good" This finding is especially important "if we consider that the Spanish are the main customers of the north and Pu-

erto de la Cruz, for example, in August they accounted for 71.4 percent of the market share." According to Carlos Alonso, these positive results are also a direct consequence of "promotional effort by Turismo de Tenerife in the market specifically for the North." Looking at the evolution of the main markets, September was a month of

great dynamism in the foreign markets, which increased the influx to the Island by 18.3 percent to reach 309,947. The two main markets are British and Germany. Brits rose by 24.6 percent in August on an overall figure of 155,223 tourists while the German market translates into an increase of 15.7 percent (total 42 771 tourists.

Brit crowned world's top football freestyler

www.canarianweekly.com

A British teenager has been crowned the world freestyle football champion after wowing judges with his impeccable ball skills.

Andrew Henderson, from Cornwall, beat rivals from Brazil, Spain and Japan to win the inaugural World Freestyle Football Championships (WFFC) Tour in Kuala Lumpur. The 19-year-old smashed his way through four intense rounds of freestyle football battles, defeating France's Gautier Fayolle in the final. The judges were impressed by his routine which combines juggling, gymnastics and break dancing. "This has been the most incredible experience of my life," he said after his victory. "I have trained so hard for this moment." The event, which attracted the world's top 16 freestyle footballers, was broadcast live to 12 million people in South East Asia. But it was not the first time the threetime UK champion has been in the international spotlight. In 2009, he won the prestigious UK Red Bull Street Style Championships, which saw him represent Britain at the World Championships in South Africa.

Man pleads guilty to murder of Jia Ashton A 21-year-old man has admitted murdering an economics graduate who was battered to death in woodland near where she worked.

David Simmonds, of Derby Road, Heanor, Derbyshire, pleaded guilty at Nottingham Crown Court to the murder of 25-year-old Jia Ashton. The body of Chinese-born Mrs Ashton was discovered in Sleetmoor Woods, near Somercotes in Derbyshire, on March 13, three days after she was last seen leaving her job at chocolate-maker Thorntons. Detectives launched a high priority inquiry after Mrs Ashton's music teacher husband Matthew reported her missing on the evening of March 11. She was eventually found by a mountain search and rescue dog in Sleetmoor Woods. Detectives think she would have been walking her usual route home when she was attacked. Speaking at a media briefing earlier this week, Detective Superintendent Terry Branson said she was subjected to a sustained and brutal attack, in which there was no evidence of any weapons being used. Simmonds, at 6ft 2in and 19st,

was more than three times the weight of Mrs Ashton, who stood at a petite 4ft 11in, weighed six-and-a-half stone and wore a size two shoe. Mr Branson said: "Whilst I believe this may well have been a chance meeting in the woods on March 10, thereafter what took place was not chance, not coincidental. "It was a sustained violent and brutal attack on a young woman, a result of which was that she did receive horrendous injuries to her head and significant compression to her chest, resulting in trauma to her heart, which was the cause of her death." All her injuries were consistent with having been kicked and punched, he added, and there was no evidence of a sexual attack. She was found some distance from the site where detectives believe she was attacked but it is not clear if she ran there or was dragged. Mr Branson said Mrs Ashton was last seen leaving Thorntons just after 5pm on March 10 before walking through the woods with her hood up and listening to an MP3 player. Her body was found some 545 yards from some of her belongings, which included her

The 42-year-old, who has not yet been named, ignored signs at the beach in Cape Town warning against entering the water. Authorities said he was attacked by a great white shark at Fish Hoek Beach. The attack came an hourand-a-half after shark spotters had seen the animal and raised a warning flag. A siren was also sounded as the beach was closed, officials said in a statement. The man went swimming anyway and the great white struck before onlookers could pull him out. His right leg was completely bitten off and his left leg severed below the knee, according to the National Sea Rescue Institute.

Although the victim has not been named, the institute said he was believed to be a British national who lives in South Africa. Video footage of the beach after the attack shows a shark in the water off the shore as a helicopter flies the man to hospital. A statement from the authorities said: "When the victim entered the water, the beach was still closed and the shark flag indicating the presence of a white shark was flying." Three nearby beaches were also closed following the attack because the shark could still be seen in the area. Cape Town operates a shark-spotter programme on its beaches to warn people when to leave the water. At least three sharks had been spotted off the beach on the morning of the attack alone.

UK 'is worst place to live in Europe' glasses, her music player and earphones, her mobile phone, which had been snapped in two, five buttons from her coat, and an umbrella cover. Her handbag was found around 15ft up a tree, close to her body. Detectives believe Simmonds scattered her belongings around the woods to conceal the crime. He also covered her body with various tree branches and logs. Fingerprints and DNA evidence were recovered from her glasses and her phone but Simmonds was not on any national databases so was not matched. He was eventually arrested on May 5, eight weeks into the investigation, and charged with

murder the next day. Officers searched the local register of homeless people following accounts from witnesses of having seen a dishevelled and unkempt man in the woods around the time of the murder. He registered himself as homeless following the break-up of his relationship with a local girl, with whom he had a young son. Detectives believe his motive for the attack may have been robbery, backed up by the fact that when they recovered her purse there was no cash in it. She moved to the UK from China at the age of 16 after her parents saved up to send her to the country with the hope of a brighter future. She was hoping to have a son with her husband.

The UK is now officially the worst place to live in Europe, with people getting a "raw deal" on quality of life and high cost of living, a new study has revealed.

Comparison website uSwitch said that things were getting so bad that one in 10 people in this country were considering emigrating. France and Spain came out on top of uSwitch's Quality of Life Index, with the UK bottom of a 10-country league table. The index covers working hours, VAT, holidays, spending on health and education - and hours of sunshine. Last year at least our neighbours in Ireland were worse off, now we can't even console ourselves with that. We are now officially at the bottom of the pile. Ann Robinson, director of consumer policy at uSwitch.com The UK also came bottom of another table based on the cost of energy, petrol, food, alcohol,

cigarettes and life expectancy. Food and diesel prices are the highest in Europe, while unleaded petrol, alcohol and cigarettes all cost more than the European average, said the report. People in the UK now have the lowest holiday entitlement in Europe as well as having one of the highest retirement ages, the study found. A survey of over 2,000 adults found their biggest concern was "broken society", as well as the cost of living, crime and violence. Some 5% said they were happy with the UK, with over one in 10 "seriously considering" emigrating. France topped the index for the third year in a row, despite the average household annual net income being ÂŁ7,000 below that of the UK. Ann Robinson, director of consumer policy at uSwitch.com, said: "Last year at least our neighbours in Ireland were worse off, now we can't even console ourselves with that.

Soy del Tete support UD Chio

The Soy del Tete CDT fan shop in Fanabe has been open now for almost one year so Canarian Weekly went to visit proprietor Nikki to see what’s been happening. Nikki told Canarian Weekly: “Unfortunately the number of fans at the matches has dropped as you would expect with CDT being relegated, however at each match there is still a strong loyal fan base.” Even still the shop is going from strength to strength with a tremendous number of British and Italian holidaymakers visiting the shop. The shop has extended its range and has small items from other European clubs on sale. Soy del Tete even now has a stall at the Saturday Market which takes place in Fanabe. If you fancy this season’s new CDT kit they are available but there is limited stock. But just because the shop is going well Soy del Tete are not sitting on their laurels, they are now engaging the local community with football. It’s taken seven years but now the small village of Chio within the

Page 12

municipality of Guia de Isora now has its own football team, similar to small local sides within the UK. In part it’s thanks to the backing of Soy de Tete the CDT Fan shop in Fanabe plus the support of residents and local businesses in Chio. Soy de Tete working with UD Chio as they wanted to give something back to the community, they started just by sponsoring their shirts now their involvement has got a whole lot deeper into the running of the club. Currently in the 2nd regional local league they travel only within the south of Tenerife, and not interisland, but, their objective is to win the league and go up. Eight players are directly from the village the rest made up by friends and family from outside the village, they even have a few Brits amongst the players, under club Captain, ‘Tizo’ Coached by Esteban Gonzalez, an esteemed coach who has worked in higher leagues, two above in fact, and his talent has been sought after by many Tenerife south clubs. Now retired Esteban coaches the squad three times a week not for monetary reward but for the love and pride of the game.

The newly-emerged club celebrated winning their first match of the season, but were not so lucky last weekend. They won 4-3 against Eicade, fellow-newcomers to the second regional division, and goals from Moises, Jose Luis, Franci and Gustavo gave the 100-plus crowd in the stand plenty to cheer about. Chio’s home games are played on alternate Fridays (KO 9pm) in the Mayato grounds, and the 460 bus from Las Americas will take you to the village. UD Chio is unique in the respect it is the only club not to have astro turf; therefore it has no youth teams. But, the local municipality has promised to support and help the fledgling side. Insert pedro Martin quote Anyone can go along and watch entry is just 2 euros and all of the information is put onto Facebook UD Chio. Season tickets are available for the remaining 11 games. It’s about a 20 minute journey from Playa de las Americas, and the 460 bus stops directly outside the stadium it’s a family atmosphere in a nice area with cheap beer and good food. Spirits run high and the fans which number approximately 100

for home matches and fifty for away matches, get very animated. But it’s all in good fun. UD Chio played an Army Air Corp side earlier in the year and their opponents said that they just had the best time and would love to return. UD Chio’s next match is taking place tomorrow (Saturday) against

City suspend Tevez over his substitution 'strop'

Manchester City footballer Carlos Tevez has been suspended for up to two weeks after apparently refusing to come on as a substitute against Bayern Munich.

The player angered manager Roberto Mancini on Tuesday when he would not leave the substitutes' bench and take the field during the second-half with City trailing 2-0. In a move that seems certain to trigger his eventual departure from the club, the 27-year-old appeared to simply say: "No." Mancini later claimed the Argentinian would never play for him at City again, before saying he would consult the club's owner about the way forward. After a telephone conference involving senior staff

a drawn-out process which could finally end the stormy relationship between Tevez and the club. At the beginning of the season, the striker was set to move to Brazilian side Corinthians in order to live nearer to his children. However, the move fell through at the last minute, with Corinthians saying they were open to further negotiations in the near future. City could sell Tevez in the

upcoming January transfer window. The footballer's strop came on the same day the boss of the Professional Footballers' Union, Gordon Taylor, defended the use of tax avoidance schemes enjoyed by multi-millionaire player. He said they have to endure short careers lasting an average of eight years while paying out more than half their salaries in Pay As You Earn tax.

Words can not express the atmosphere at Castillo San Miguel, which was full to capacity last Sunday, for the Tenerife Entertainment Awards 2011.

Some may have thought that changing the venue from Exit 29 would have been detrimental, but no, this definitely was not the case. The audience were in awe from start to finish – the Tibu Dancers, Tango Vivo then the dancers joined by Tenerife Loves Karaoke winner Paula, were the build up to the entrance of habitual host Nathan Swift, on this occasion dressed as one of the resident Knights of Castillo San Miguel. Wall to wall entertainment was the order of the afternoon with live performances from the nominees for Best Group, performing in anticipation of the live vote. Plus, Estrellas and Ritmania dance schools showed the audience the future talent of the island. The winners of each of the categories were both

shocked and elated. Nathan himself added an additional award to Chris Elkington, Director of Emcan Media, of which Oasis Fm is a part, for his selfless contribution to entertainment over the years including the orgnaisation of the Tenerife Entertainment Awards event. The event was sponsored by EZE Group, following the event they said, “Tenerife is always seen as an all year round holiday destination, famous for an amazing climate, relaxed atmosphere and tremendous entertainment. So when we were offered the opportunity to sponsor the 2011 TEA Awards we jumped at the chance. EZE Group was very proud to celebrate a fantastic industry full of talent on this great island.”

Plane hijacker is captured after 40 years on the run An American murderer who escaped prison and hijacked an airliner while dressed as a priest has been tracked down by police – after more than 40 years on the run.

12p-a-day pill 'trebles smokers' quit chance'

A nicotine substitute which costs just 12p a day can more than triple a smoker's chances of quitting, according to new research.

The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that people using Tabex were 3.4 times more likely to stop smoking than with a "dummy" or placebo tablet. Professor Robert West, who led the trial, said his team was "extremely encouraged" by the results and the cost. He said: ""There's a billion

Page 16

smokers out there worldwide, most of whom don't get access to the drugs we get here. "Here in the UK, for the individual smoker it probably wouldn't make that much difference, but for the NHS which is paying the bill, the question is, how much could we save if we were to move a substantial proportion of people over to a less expensive treatment?" If it were to become available on the NHS, Tabex could reduce the drugs bill by tens of millions of pounds per year. The NHS prescribes Champix.

Costing up to £150 per 12week course, that equates to £1.78 per day. By comparison, Tabex costs just 12p a day. It has not been regulated yet in the UK, but it has been available in central and eastern Europe for more than 40 years. You can buy it online, but there are fears customers will be taken in by counterfeit or substandard medicines. After the successful results from this study, the Department of Health has said it will look at Tabex as a possibility for use in the UK.

George Wright, 68, was arrested near Lisbon by Portuguese police at the request of the US government. Neighbours said he had a wife and two children and worked odd jobs around the hamlet of Almocageme. He was found thanks to a sudden breakthrough in the case when his fingerprint was matched to a resident ID card. The fugitive, who is now said to speak fluent Portuguese, escaped from jail in New Jersey in 1970 after he had been convicted of the 1962 murder of a petrol station owner during a robbery. The FBI said he became linked to an underground militant group called the Black Liberation Army and lived in a "communal family" with other members

in Detroit. In July 1971, he dressed as a priest, used the alias Rev L Burgess, and managed to hijack a Delta Air Lines flight from Detroit to Miami accompanied by men, women and children from his group. Landing at Miami airport, they demanded a $1m (£639,000) ransom to free all 86 people on board. All were released when the FBI delivered the cash. The hijackers then forced the plane to Boston and onto Algeria, where they sought asylum. They were allowed

to stay but eventually made their way to France, where Wright's accomplices were arrested and convicted. However, Wright remained a fugitive until a new US task force began investigating the reopened case nine years ago. Investigators were planning to look at Portugal as a possible escape route when his name was flagged up by checks on the country’s national ID database. He was arrested after a stake-out at his home and now faces extradition to the US.

Understanding the Law

Must I blow the whistle? MANY people have asked me about the breathalyser test - the “right of not blowing” when stopped by the Traffic Authority under suspicion of driving-driving.

Originally, it was said that if I have the right not to declare against myself, I have the right of not blowing through the “whistle”. The breath test over here is known famously as the “whistle”, which entails blowing through a special device called an Etilómetro, that measures the rate of alcohol while breathing out. Today, article 383 of the Criminal Code is very clear. I will discuss two articles of Spanish Criminal Code (included in the Section Crimes against Traffic Safety) in order to know and compare them: Article 379.2 Criminal Code: this says that driving a motor vehicle under alcohol/drug influences will be punished with imprisonment of 3-6 months, or a fine or Community Service from 30-90 days and a driving ban of between one and four years. Article 383 of the Criminal Code says that the car driver who refuses to take the tests will be punished with six months to a year in

prison, and a driving ban of one to four years. If the Etilómetro shows an expired air rate of more than 0.60 milligrams per litre, the driver can be punished with the penalty mentioned in article 379.2, and the same penalty applies if there is a rate of alcohol in the blood of more than 1.2 grams per litre. Bear in mind that in this column, I am referring to the Criminal Law relating to drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or both! Do not be confused with the Administrative Law (Traffic Laws), whose penalties would be economic fines and driving bans. Criminal Law involves not only economic fines and driving bans but also prison and community Service. The process starts when the police stop the driver (male for the purposes of this column) and he is asked to blow through the Etilometro. These are the possibilities: 1. Negative result, the driver carrries on driving 2. Negative, but symptoms of being drunk - second test after 10 minutes 3. Positive, second test (second blow)

30 September - 6 October 2011

If the second test (which normally confirms the first one) if positive, there is a possibility of doing a third one, which is a blood test (to be paid in advance by the driver) as a guarantee that the first two blowing tests are okay. Regarding the blood test, the driver must be sure to ask for one because it will detect everything he has consumed during the previous 24 hours. Instead of being helpful, it could even prove worse! If the driver is over the drink limit, he will obviously not be allowed to drive away. If no one else can drive, the car will be sent to the municipal parking lot. If the Criminal door is opened, the driver will have to attend a “Fast Trial”. In this case, he could be accused of driving under the influence of alcohol, but if he refused to “blow”, he could be also accused of “refusal”. I am now focusing on the crime mentioned in article 383 Criminal

Code, which is “refusal” to do the tests. This is a very serious crime, and it is wrong to think that you have the right of “not-blowing”. The lack of co-operation (not doing the test) is an even bigger crime than driving under the influence. This means that, irrespective of whether or not you are drunk, you must do the test so you cannot be accused of refusing. My legal advice (subject, of course, to other’s opinions) is to blow and never refuse the blowing test. The right of not blowing does not exist. Needless to say, the best advice is to drive carefully and without alcohol/drug influences (not only from the legal point of view but for safety reasons). In forthcoming columns, I will be discussing my ideas about the myths and wrong ideas many people have in relation to these alcohol tests.

Our ex-landlord refuses to return the deposit I have just read your article in the Canarian Weekly and was hoping you could give me some advice. I have a problem regarding the return of my deposit for a rental property in Lanzarote. My partner and I left the property in June and we are still awaiting the return of our deposit. The contract we signed with the property company says that the landlord will return the deposit within 30 days of us vacating the property. But although I have made many telephone calls to the company, I have still not received the money. Can you advise me of the next step I should take as the calls are just not working. Mrs EF In order to give you proper advice, I would need more information. I do not know the contents of the contract (document), and you do not specify whether you left the property before the deadline or at the end of the contract. Assuming that you either left at the end of the contract or beforehand with the consent of the landlord (mutual agreement), and that you are not in breach of the contract in other terms, you have the right to get your deposit back. If the company does not refund the calls, or eludes its responsibility, it would be necessary to do a “requirement” through a lawyer to push the company owners for an answer. The last solution is to take them to Court (perhaps through the Monitory Proceeding). I wrote previously in Canarian Weekly about Monitory Proceeding, which is simple and cheap.

The picture’s clearer! Accion’s Pets Portrait competition is in the frame for Sunday

AFTER weeks and weeks of anticipation, Accion del Sol’s Pets Portrait competition looms large, and the photographic exhibition and judging takes place at the dog refuge on Sunday (2nd Oct).

It forms the centerpiece of an exciting afternoon for children and adults alike, and there is a fabulous selection of pets all vying for the top awards. First Impressions, Tenerife’s leading design and print company at Las Chafiras, kindly offered to print all the entries for the competition,

MARION GONZALES, who works tirelessly for Accion del Sol, was able to relax on Sunday evening when the centre organised a birthday party for her and some close friends. She is pictured with Nikki Attree (left), who is a big Accion supporter and also runs her own doggie website In addition, some excellent prizes have been donated by Siam Park and Loro Parque, and there’s a fabulous weekend on offer at Hotel Botanico, in Puerto de la Cruz. There will also be a large canvas, portrait print of the winning photo, which comes courtesy of Angie’s Nu Arte company. She specialises in transforming ordinary colour photos into incredible canvas prints which have the appearance of genuine paintings. In addition to the serious business of judging by a special panel, there will be a fun

agility competition for your own dogs and others from the refuge, with lots more games and stalls for all the family to enjoy. Local digital artist Nikki Attree has put a lot of hard work into a picture story about her rescue dog Gizmo, whom she got from Accion del Sol, and the English version has also been translated into Spanish and German. It will be used to help educate children on animal welfare, so a big thank-you to Nikki from the centre for all her hard work, and her Gizmo tale will also form part of the exhibition.

There has been a huge influx of dogs and puppies in recent weeks from various municipalities and Marion Gonzales, who runs the Granadilla-based centre, is always on the look-out for people with loving homes to adopt the poor animals. The dogs come in all shapes and sizes, and all have one thing in common: every single one of them at the Aktiontier-sponsored refuge is castrated or sterilised, ensuring no unwanted litters, which would only add to the existing problems. Please visit the Accion del Sol sanctuary and see for

yourselves what beautiful, healthy dogs they have, all looking for happy homes. If you would like to adopt one, call in at the centre, which is open from Monday to Friday between 3-6pm, or call 922 778 630 for more information.

Happy ending for Dodo WE were beginning to think we would never find a home for Dodo. The stunning Great Dane cross walked into the Live Arico refuge as a fully-grown pup when we were in Amarilla Golf, and we fell in love with him.

Although a gentle giant, we were aware that huge dogs were difficult to rehome because many people simply do not have the space. So he stayed with us. He caught the attention of a few people - one of those dogs with eyes that tell you he’s been here before. Almost human. He remembered people who had shown him kindness. I remember one day going to the refuge and he spotted me, from quite a distance, and came to the fence. It was feeding time, but he wasn’t interested in food but human contact. “Go and eat,” I said. He stayed, front paws on the fence, looking into my eyes. Dodo likes to be at eye level. He jumps up at you, so his face is level with yours. He is a joy and a pleasure. Despite all this, we struggled to home him. We fea-

tured him on the 2011 calendar, with a young baby to show his gentle side, but nothing. Then, Live Arico supporter Emma Rhodes put his details on to the www.preloved.com website. Within hours we found his home and today (Friday), he flies to England to his forever home with Sue Darwell, from Lytham St Annes. She was also captivated by his photos, and agreed to accept him into the lives of her family. He spent his quarantine period in the care of Poochies Pet Hotel ,in El Rio, firstly cared for by Pete and Kate, and more recently by new owners Alice and Mark. We thank all four for everything they have done for Dodo. When we know a dog is going, it is always better if it’s in a halfway house while awaiting the flight. Of course, the six-month quarantine rule ends next January, which will make life so much easier. So, Dodo, my big man, enjoy your new life and never forget those who loved you here. Because we will never forget you. By Sue Havenhand

DCI BANKS:

Friend of the Devil Part 1 of 2

9:00 - 10:00pm - ITV1 The critically acclaimed drama series continues with the first episode of a new two-part story, Friend of the Devil. Banks informs Annie of a murder that has taken place on the moors and for the first time asks her to head the investigation. The victim has been found in her wheelchair with her throat cut and face disfigured. Banks realises at once that there is a con-

nection to another gruesome case. The body was discovered where murderers Marcus and Lucy Payne buried one of their victims. While Annie drives off to the moors, Banks heads to the market square to investigate another death: the body of a teenage girl has been found in a storage room down an alleyway. The motive for the killing is unclear, but suspicion falls on

Clad in his characteristic blazer, shirt and tie, Al strides onto the stage clutching a pint of beer as he tells the raucous crowd why he’s personally chosen 1997 as a trademark year. It was the year that his now ex-wife ran off with a

Frenchman, the Spice Girls became the biggest pop phenomenon since the Beatles, and Tinky Winky from the Teletubbies was ‘outed’ as gay. Al’s comedy extravaganza explores other unforgettable popular culture moments from the year - the detailed examination of Bill Clinton’s manhood, the launch of Channel Five, and the popularity of alcopops.

Al also reviews Elton John’s TV programme, Tantrums & Tiaras, the confusion around the gender of pretty boy band Hanson, and the assets of lady gardener Charlie Dimmock - who joins him on stage. Finally he jumps feet first into a comedic tongue lashing of the party scene in Ibiza, the birth of the ladette, and the mass hysteria induced by Harry Potter.

Love dinosaurs, action, drama and amazing special effects? Say hello to your new favourite dinotastic Sky1 show, Terra Nova. Terra Nova follows an ordinary family on an incredible journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a small part of a daring experiment to save the human race. In the year 2149, the world is dying. The planet is overdeveloped and overcrowded,

with the majority of plant and animal life extinct. The future of mankind is in doubt, and its only hope for survival is in the distant past. When scientists at the FERMI Particle Accelerator unexpectedly discovered a fracture in time that made it possible to construct a portal into primeval history, the bold notion was born to resettle humanity in the past – a second chance to rebuild civiliza-

tion and get it right this time. The show centres on the Shannon family as they join the Tenth Pilgrimage of settlers to “Terra Nova”, the first colony established in this beautiful yet forbidding land. Jim Shannon (Jason O’Mara, Life on Mars, Monarch of the Glen), a devoted father with a checkered past, guides his family through this new world of limitless beauty, mystery and terror.

The Truth About Child Brides 9:00 - 10.00 PM - BBC3 Nel Hedayat goes on a compelling and revealing journey to find out what life is really like for a child bride. Across the world, 10 million girls a year marry under the age of 18; that’s one every three seconds. Nel travels to India and Bangladesh, countries with two of the highest rates of child marriage in the world. Nel is no stranger to the idea of child marriage – her aunt-

ies and grandmothers were child brides – but what she sees challenges everything she thought. She attends the eye-opening wedding of two sisters in Rajasthan – one barely in her teens and her even younger sibling. In Bangladesh, the programme meets a 14-year-old girl who was married last year to a 19-year-old man and is now four months pregnant.

Nel meets women who regret missing out on carefree childhoods and a chance to study. She learns that early marriage frequently leads to early pregnancy and painful, life-threatening labours. The film features child brides in Bangladesh who give birth before their bodies are fully developed and end up with a horrific medical condition that leaves them social outcasts.

9:00 - 10:00pm - BBC1 Ronan Bennett’s new drama, Hidden, marks a highly anticipated return to BBC One for Philip Glenister, who stars in this taut and compelling four-part conspiracy thriller directed by Niall MacCormick. Harry Venn (Glenister) is a small-time solicitor who is forced to revisit his murky past and quickly finds himself caught up in a much more complex and deeper conspiracy.

Harry is approached by Gina Hawkes, a lawyer looking for a missing alibi witness for her client – the witness being an old acquaintance of his, the long-term criminal Joe Collins. The case reminds Harry of his own brief criminal past as a getaway driver for his older brother; a venture that ended with the death of his brother and their associate Hillman in a robbery that went horribly wrong. The guilt Harry feels from

this incident drives him to uncover what went awry in a seemingly simple operation. His only lead is that he knows the killings were commissioned by a man named Styles. Tom Russell, the policeman who led the investigation all those years ago, is back on Harry’s case, and with the past swiftly unravelling at every turn, Harry begins to question exactly who Gina is and why she chose him.

MIXED BRITANNIA 9:00 - 10:00pm - BBC2 George Alagiah explores the remarkable and untold story of Britain’s mixed-race communities. In this three-part series, part of BBC Two’s Mixed Race Season, George Alagiah explores the remarkable and untold story of Britain’s mixed-race communities. With previously unseen archive material and charting events from the turn of the 20th century, Mixed Britannia examines the social factors that have influenced the shape of today’s mixedrace Britain, and how mixed

Page 34

race has become one of the country’s fastest-growing ethnic groups. Most of all, the films tell a tale of love and of couples coming together to fight prejudice and create a new society. The first film (1910-1939) discovers the love between merchant seamen and liberated female workers and how mixed-race communities started to grow up in places like Cardiff, Liverpool and South Shields. George learns how mass rioting erupted across port cities as returning soldiers

found local girls in relationships with non-white men. He also hears from a grandchild of one of the mixedrace couples who were chased out of their family home by an angry crowd. The film also covers the period when eugenicists turned their attention to race and George hears from an elderly English-Chinese woman, Connie Hoe, who recalls how, as a young girl, she and her friends were examined and measured in tests carried out by the British Eugenics Society.

Get in the mood! IT is well known that sunshine is great for beating depression. But the effect is actually more than psychological: light helps our bodies produce serotonin, which is a hormone that can affect our mood positively.

In recent years we have heard of people in the UK suffering from SADS, which is a depressive illness relating to lack of sunshine. No such problems here in Tenerife. No wonder we are all so happy! There are other things you can do to improve your frame of mind and lead a happier life, and some of these are related to your interiors. For example, optimise light by replacing heavy, dull curtains with light blinds or voiles to allow more light into the room. Place a mirror opposite a window or over a sofa to reflect light and give more depth to narrow spaces. And never place mirrors near stairs or directly opposite doors because they can distort perception and lead to accidents. A change is as good as a rest is another well-known phrase. Try to see your property with fresh eyes, especially if you have been away for the English “summer”. I think it was on a Thursday in July this year. Envisage what you could change to make your surroundings look fresher. And this need not cost a fortune, as it may involve only a change of curtains or some bright cushions and pictures. Fit a ceiling fan because they are cheaper than air-conditioning to run, they create a mild draught, and a lazy colonial feeling. Set yourself achievable goals.

Page 38

These can be small things such as clearing out that cupboard in the hall, or walking somewhere instead of taking the car. Apparently, scientists in Gothenburg say the feeling of wellbeing, achieved by completing a task or goal, brings longer-lasting fulfilment than winning the lottery, which produces a shortlived high only. Okay, to be honest I would choose a lottery win over cleaning out a cupboard, but still … Live clutter-free! Time invested in sorting out your belongings is repaid many times over when everything is in its place when you need it. You may even come across some forgotten items such as jewellery or coins, and can almost certainly throw some things away and make your living space more organised. Keep your living space clean and tidy so that it provides you with a haven from your everyday life, and somewhere to which you want to return.

Think about how you use your space, and invest in making that as comfortable as it can possibly be. If you enjoy spending time on your terrace, invest in some comfortable, reclining chairs and a small table for that well-deserved gin and tonic, or glass of wine. There have been huge technological advances in mattresses in recent years, and combinations of sprung mattresses with visco elastic or latex will provide you with lumbar support and exceptional comfort. If you have had your mattress more than a few years, you should, perhaps, think about a change because it could be cheaper than you think. And we all know that a good night’s sleep can definitely improve your mood! In short, we have it better than most here in Tenerife, but maybe some of the above tips can help improve your mood even further, which can only be a positive thing!

Paint the town red Individual style, mixed with budget-conscious decorating, is driving paint colour trends into the red, as consumers succumb to the “Lipstick Effect”.

According to B&Q, the UK’s largest home improvement retailer, red paint is the hot choice for home decorating. Sales of its Colours standard matt and silk 2.5L emulsions show the Classic Red shade knocking Magnolia, a perennial favourite, into ninth place. The Classic Red shade in B&Q’s Colours paint range now sells double the amount of Magnolia. With people staying put rather than selling up, there has been an increasing desire amongst homeowners to create individual colour schemes in their homes and bold colour choices have become the new trend. In contrast to the bright, hot red B&Q has also seen demand for hues in grey rise in the past year. B&Q’s top five best-selling paints in its Colours standard range (2.5L) this year are: Classic Red followed by Light Rain (pale grey), Ivory, Grey Slate and Antique White.

In contrast, back in 2007, neutrals and earthy colours ruled, like ivory and moss, followed by caramel, vanilla and cappuccino by 2008. Consumers want to feel good but are eschewing major purchases, like cars, homes and luxury items and opting for quick pick-meups, like lipstick, or practical items that can be justified, such as paint. This is the 'Lipstick Effect’, which was first coined during the Great Depression in the early 30s. Alistair Wilson, Buyer for Decorative Paints at B&Q says: “Don't be surprised to

see spaces such as hallways and living areas painted in such an indulgent red. Classic Red serves as a mood enhancer for consumers in today's economy. Plus, rather than diving into largescale renovation projects, our customers have been searching for inexpensive ways to freshen and update their homes.” Brits are embracing scarlet in other ways too by adding red features and accents in the home. Soft furnishings and wallpaper in the red shade have also become best sellers in store.

Payday loans market rife with poor practice, reveals Which? A Which? Money investigation has uncovered widespread poor practice in the payday loans market, including potential breaches of the Consumer Credit Act, poor privacy provisions and inflated APRs.

Payday loan shops seem to be popping up on our high streets as frequently as gold shops. With the take up of payday loans on the increase, the consumer champion has reported two lenders - Paydaykong.com and Swiftmoney.co.uk - to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT). Paydaykong.com appeared to be operating without a valid Consumer Credit Licence, while Swiftmoney.co.uk failed to show the APR for its loans anywhere on its website. Which? has also reported Casheuronet UK, which operates Quick-payday.co.uk and Quickquid.co.uk, to the Information Commission-

ers’ Office (ICO) after its researcher received dozens of unsolicited third party emails and phone calls in the days following his application. This was despite the lender assuring Which? that it does not sell customers’ details to third parties. Other examples of poor practice included potentially misleading claims about APR, firms encouraging customers to borrow more than they need and to rollover existing loans for several months. Which? also found that several firms had lax website security, with one provider requiring customers to enter their bank details on an unsecured page. Payday loan providers typically charge from £20-£35 for a short-term £100 loan. The most expensive Which? found was offered by Wonga.com, which quoted £36.72 for a 30-day loan of £100 – equivalent to an APR of 4,394%. The same amount borrowed through

an authorised overdraft from Which? Recommended Provider Co-operative Bank would cost just £1.35. Which? executive director, Richard Lloyd, says: “Payday loans might seem like a good solution for people whose money won’t stretch to the end of the month, but they should be treated as an absolute last resort. They can be an incredibly expensive way to borrow and we’ve uncovered a long list of poor practice by lenders. “A temporary overdraft extension can be a much cheaper, safer way to borrow so if you’re struggling to get to pay day then the first thing you should do is talk to your bank. “With increasingly squeezed household budgets, more people are taking out payday loans so it’s vital that regulators keep a close eye on providers and deal firmly with any lenders breaking the rules.”

Britain in Bloom

CRICKLADE, in Wiltshire, has been named this year’s Champion of Champions at the RHS Britain in Bloom Awards.

A record 20 gold medals, along with 36 silver-gilts, 19 silvers and 1 bronze were awarded to the 76 finalist communities, who celebrated at the RHS awards ceremony this week hosted by TV presenter Rachel De Thame. The event was attended by 500 community and gardening champions. A number of discretionary awards were also given to communities and individuals who have demonstrated excellence in their commitment to the campaign. Chair of the RHS Britain in Bloom UK Judging panel, Roger Burnett, led a team of 12 RHS judges who toured the UK in August visiting the 76 UK finalists, nominated from more than 1,000 participating communities to represent their region/ nation in the UK finals. The judges assessed against three key criteria:

• horticultural achievement • community participation • environmental responsibility Roger said: ‘My fellow judges and I noticed this year that many communities are facing even greater challenges than

ever before because of financial conditions, political changes, civil unrest and that’s not even to mention the unpredictable British weather! 'But we are extremely pleased to have seen many communities using RHS Britain in Bloom as a solution and really pulling together as a group of volunteers, as communities, to move forward, facing down everything from a tornado to damage from rioting. No matter what the challenge, these finalists have been determined to make their communities better places in which to live.’ Martin Troughton, Marketing Director at Anglian Home Improvements, said: ‘The standard has been very high and the judges have been impressed by the drive and accomplishment of the finalists. Each and every volunteer should be extremely proud of helping to make this year’s RHS Britain in Bloom another phenomenal success.’ This year, more than 200,000 volunteers from across the UK collectively invested 4.4 million hours (equivalent of more than 500 years) of their free time to the campaign. The awards ceremony celebrates the efforts of more than 1,000 communities that have made the UK a more beautiful, clean and environmentally friendly place to live. Source www.rhs.org.uk

How to keep the ericaceous plants in splendid condition ERICACEOUS plants are those which thrive in acid soil but hate being stuck in earth containing lime. It is not difficult to surmount the problem, however, with a little know-how and these handy tips:

1. Use rainwater collected in a butt rather than tapwater. 2. Feed with sequestered iron fertilisers if foliage turns yellow on neutral soil. 3. Mulch around the plant’s base with ericaceous compost, or home-made leaf mould, to provide plenty of acidic or organic matter and nutrients. You could also try digging in sulphur powder at the recommended rate. 4. Don’t apply lime to neutral or acid soils within two metres of the base of ericaceous plants because it could be washed down to its roots. 5. Don’t overfeed plants with generalpurpose fertilisers containing calcium but instead, use an ericaceous fertiliser. 6. Grow acid-loving plants in large containers or ericaceous compound if you have lime soil.

30 September - 6 October 2011

7. Pour ericaceous compost generously into planting holes if your soil has a neutral pH. Several plants need acid soil, including Azalea, Camellia and Heathers, which all flourish in the correct conditions. Azelea Whether deciduous or evergreen, azeleas belong to the rhododendron family and, like them, require neutral-to-acid soil. Deciduous types tend to be more tolerant of heavy soil. Camellia These grow well in sandy, acid soil, but can also thrive in neutral conditions. They can cope with a small amount of lime with plenty of organic matter added, Heathers Most ericas need a large amount of acid soil to grow well, although they can get by with neutral pH. Erica carnea and E. Erigena varieties are tolerant of slightly-alkaline soils. Calluna or ‘ling’ is native to the acid heath soils of Europe and will not tolerate lime under any circumstances. It actually performs best in free-drained soil.

carl pattison from Robot, answers your hair questions

Not so green with envy! THIS is a true story from the salon. I won’t name names, but the client knows who she is and knows I’m going to repeat this tale of woe. It’s a warning to you out there that us stylists DO need listening to, or it’s YOU who could pay the price! We were visited in our salon by one of our good clients, who regularly has her hair cut and highlighted. She has a fair amount of blonde going in, especially at the ends of her hair because of the sun, and the fact that she’s keeping it long. Okay, she came to the salon, not to have her hair done but to book an appointment for her daughter, whose hair was tied up on her head. She was facing me and, as we were talking, she commented that her hair might be turning a different shade because she had been spending the summer in the pool. She took down her clip and there it was - GREEN HAIR! Not just your regular khaki shade, like we see all the time. I’m talking grass-green hair, and I upset her by telling her it was the worst case I’d ever seen. She thought it wasn’t that bad, but, as far as I was concerned, it would have been good as a trick-or-treat wig (sorry madam). The chlorine had not only turned her hair green but was also attacking the condition. What could we do? We gave her an appointment for a few days later and we stripped out the chemical, returning the hair to its blonde shade. Sounds easy? No, this also caused more damage, which couldn’t be helped. The colour was removed and a conditioning treatment applied to minimise the damage, It’s then that we started to ask why? Why had this happened in the first place? Now the client has been told why, and we explained that she could no longer get her hair wet in the pool.

Stem cells could help cure blinding disease We also told her that the condition of her hair could have been avoided with a few simple steps. If you aren’t looking after the condition of your hair, and you are using supermarket brands to manage the condition, then expect this sort of thing to happen with your hair, too. If your hair is left to go dry and brittle, it will absorb any type of moisture, including swimming-pool water full of chlorine. When you swim, “masque” the hair with a deep treatment to form a barrier, then wash it immediately after swimming - and don’t sunbathe with wet, unprotected hair. Your shampoo and conditioner should be repairing and/or moisturising, and please do NOT use something from the local supermarket which has probably more salt in it than a packet of crisps. Respect your hair and give it something back. It’s a living thing and needs some loving back, so think about that!

A GROUND-BREAKING trial which has been given the nod in Britain will use embryonic stem cells to treat an inherited blinding disorder. Doctors at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London will transplant laboratory-grown retinal cells into patients with advanced Stargardt disease. The Phase I study, which will begin in the next few months, is designed to investigate the safety of the treatment. Stargardt disease is a form of macular degeneration that causes disabling loss of sight in young people.

Professor James Bainbridge, who is heading the trial, said: “There is real potential that people with blinding disorders of the retina, including Stargardt disease and age-related macular degeneration, might benefit in the future from transplantation of retinal cells. “The ability to regenerate retinal cells from stem cells in the laboratory has been a significant advance, and the opportunity to help translate such technology into new treatments for patients is hugely exciting. “Testing the safety of retinal-cell transplanta-

Glowing growth as European men boost cosmetic industry While attention to appearance and skincare was once a woman’s privilege, nowadays it should be of no surprise to find an increasing number of jars of cream in men’s cabinets alongside their aftershaves.

Latest research from Mintel on the European men’s grooming market shows that while the market for shaving products and razors in the Big 5 European countries combined have remained largely stagnant, sales increasing from € 1.85 billion in 2005 to € 2 billion in 2010, sales of skincare products are booming - up a magnificant 45% from € 289 million in 2005 to € 420 million in 2010. Of the Big 5 European countries, Germany and Spain have registered the greatest growth in male skincare sales over the past 5 years. Indeed, the German men’s skincare market grew from €65 million in 2005 to € 130 million in 2010, a stunning 100% increase between 2005 and 2010. Similarly, the Spanish market for male skincare grew from € 29 million to € 51 million between 2005 and 2010, with a growth of 76% in five years. No other sectors within the grooming market have registered the same outstanding performance. Per capita spend on male grooming products in 2010 was highest in Spain at € 61.7 driven by

tion in this clinical trial will be an important step towards achieving this aim.” The procedure uses retinal cells grown in the laboratory from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Stem cells extracted from early-stage embryos are ‘pluripotent’, which means they have the potential to become virtually any kind of tissue in the body. However, the technology is controversial since it necessitates the destruction of human embryos, albeit ones consisting of a pinhead-sized bundle of cells only.

the relatively small size of Spain’s male population and their infatuation with fragrances. Italy has the lowest per capita spend, amounting to € 41.5 in 2010. In 2010, Mintel estimates that the overall male grooming category in the Big 5 European countries was valued at € 6.6 billion, an increase of just 8% since 2005. While the category is set to grow by a further 8% to € 7.2 billion between 2010 and 2014, the slight dip in 2009, due to the economic crisis, has led to men buying fewer and cheaper grooming products. Today’s men show a keen interest in personal appearance, with six in 10 (65%) European men considering their appearance important and almost half (48%) admitting what they want most is to look attractive and well groomed. Just (15%) of men admit that while it is acceptable for women to use skincare products, it is not acceptable for men to use such products. Nica Lewis, Global Skincare Analyst at Mintel, said: “Men show a huge interest in keeping young looking which has fuelled demand for skincare products that combat signs of fatigue, stress and ageing. An increase in information about male grooming in the media, the availability of a wider range of products, and the wider usage of celebrities to endorse brands has benefited the male grooming category in the past five years.”

Spray tan no guard against skin cancer MILLIONS of women are in danger of getting skin cancer because they feel sure a spray tan protects them from sunburn.

One in six women believes that fake tan acts like a sunscreen, and nearly half think their foundation make-up provides them with protection from the sun’s harmful rays. A survey has also revealed that one in 20 people feels that only those with ginger hair or fair skin need worry about covering up.

More than 100,000 new cases of non-malignant skin cancer and more than 11,700 cases of malignant melanoma - the mostly aggressive and deadly kind - are diagnosed in the UK each year. And more than 2,000 people die from the disease annually. Rates of the disease have quadrupled over the past 30 years, making it the most common cancer in women aged 15 to 24. A report has been conducted by screening service Moletestuk.com into how 3,000 Britons protected themselves from the sun

this summer. The survey found that one in five women admitted buying or worrying about sun lotion when she was abroad on holiday, but made no provision for when she was at home. Worryingly, it was also revealed that one in six women believes that fake tan acts like a sunscreen. As a result, nearly a quarter of Britons have a “suspicious” mole they fear might be cancerous, yet half say they have not sought any medical advice. Some 7% of Britons never wear sun lotion, while 12%

more worry about getting wrinkles than damaging their skin. Another 6% are more concerned with not getting tan lines and marks from sunglasses. Moletestuk.com chief Bruce Murray said: “We commissioned this survey to see what the awareness of melanoma in the UK is, and it is of concern that many people don’t think this can affect them. “It’s important that people take the risk of sunbathing seriously and are aware that moles and melanoma can develop at any time.”

Going giddy over scanning machines PATIENTS can get a dizzy sensation inside hospital scanners because the machines upset their sense of balance.

Many people have complained of suffering vertigo in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanners. The tunnel-like machines use powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to obtain detailed images from within the body, according to a report published online in the Current Biology journal. Scientists in the US traced the problem to the labyrinth - the

tube-like structure of the inner ear that controls balance - and the findings suggest that the strong magnetic field pushes on fluid within the labyrinth, giving rise to a feeling of unexpected or unsteady movement. The study involved comparing the experiences of 10 healthy volunteers with two who lacked functioning labyrinths. As participants had their MRI scans, researchers looked for an effect called nystagmus, an involuntary eye movement which reflects the brain’s detection of motion. The effect

was seen in all healthy volunteers undergoing scans, but not those with the inner-ear disorder. This was an indication that the labyrinth played a role in MRI-related vertigo, and further tests showed that higher magnetic-field strengths caused faster nystagmus. The discovery has implications for MRI-based brain research, say the scientists. They point out that the scanner could itself be inducing previously-unnoticed brain activity related to movement and balance.

Researcher Dale Roberts, from Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, said: “You think there’s nothing happening in the brain while volunteers are in the scanner. “But we’ve shown that there’s actually a lot happening because the MRI itself is causing some effect. These effects must be taken into account in the way we interpret functional imaging.” The MRI effect on balance could, in future, be used to diagnose and treat inner-ear disorders by stimulating the labyrinth, added the researchers.

The Cave, Los Abrigos Some weeks ago now Canarian Weekly was invited to dine at The Cave in Los Abrigos, and what an evening it was. The Cave is a hidden gem in the small fishing village of Los Abrigos, if you blink you’ll miss it as on the street is just a door and their menu.

The reason for our visit to this gorgeous restaurant was that chef Ross was changing his menu and wanted us to try his new specialties. We wee seated by the window where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic. We waited in anticipation for the dishes that Chef Ross had created for us. One of which was Mignon of Pork – medallions of pork set on garlic and thyme potatoes with Asturian cider and cinnamon glaze. One of our group was the taster for this, and, the portion was so large he couldn’t do it justice. The ‘a la carte’ menu now also includes Monkfish tails – julienne of Monkfish tail marinated in ginger; soya and coriander with stir fried Canarian vegetables and coconut rice. The Cave also excelled on the starters between us we shared, fresh mussels, stuffed mushrooms and salmon. But if you don’t like fish don’t worry as the

restaurant, which is now under new management, is not predominantly a seafood restaurant. Medallions of beef, Thai chicken with coconut rice and a delightful duck dish were also heartedly appreciated. So much so that we had to decline the chef’s very own Tiramisu ice cream. If ‘a la carte’ is not your thing then don’t worry there is a three course menu of the day, three courses plus tea and coffee. With a choice of start-

ers, main and dessert for just 7.99 euros, this is available weekdays from 2pm until 6pm. The inside of the restaurant is worth a visit in itself and is exquisitely decorated; there is surprise in store for diners. When you visit, ask to go ‘downstairs’ for those of you that have never been I won’t ruin it for you. If you would like to book a table contact The Cave on 661 178 043 or 922 170 039

Feel like chicken tonight? AS everyone knows, chicken can be the most versatile of dishes. You can fry it, bake it, boil it, slow-cook it, stew it - anything at all as long as it’s cooked properly. Here’s a tasty offering called Lemony Chicken Piñata, which really is a treat and takes less than half-an-hour to prepare and cook. Ingredients 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 1 large lemon 1-2 tops caper sauce Flour Salt Pepper White wine Directions

1. Pound the chicken breast until it is flat- about ¼in thick- and don’t be afraid to make it too thin. The point is that you want cook the chicken quickly before it dries out. On a plate, mix some flour- maybe about ¼ cup or soenough to coat the chicken. Salt and pepper the flour. Coat the chicken with the flour mixture. 2. Use a skillet big enough for all the chicken to lay flat. Heat the skillet to med-high and lightly coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil. 3. Cook the chicken for about two minutes a side (use your judgement). You will know when it is done because it is white, slightly golden. Do not overcook or it will be dry. Since it is thin, it should be fairly easy to tell if it is still pink. 4. Take the chicken out of the pan, put on a plate and cover with foil.

Page 42

5. Pour enough white wine (perhaps Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio) so there is about ¼in or more of liquid in the bottom of the pan. The idea here is to make enough sauce to pour generously over each piece of chicken, and you have to start with enough because you want to reduce it to burn off the alcohol. Make sure the pan is hot enough so that the liquid boils. This will take only a minute or so, keep and eye on it because you don’t want to evaporate all of your liquid. Taste it, and when it tastes good (You’ll know), the harsh alcohol has burned off. Reduce heat to low, add the juice of one whole, large lemon which you will have already squeezed. Add about two tablespoons of capers sauce. Put the chicken back in pan to coat in sauce and to reheat. Serve immediately. Put a piece of chicken on each plate and pour lots of sauce on each piece.

Enjoy!

Fastjet:

Stelios launches rival to EasyJet EasyJet is considering legal action after being notified that its founder Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou is setting up a rival airline called Fastjet. In a statement EasyJet announced it was told of the new launch, and that it will act to protect its rights. "easyJet plc announces that it has received notice from Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou that he intends to set up an airline branded Fastjet and that a website has already been established," it said. The budget airline added that it had a number of rights under its agreements with Sir Stelios and his easyGroup holding company and that if any of these are infringed, it "will take necessary action to protect the rights of easyJet and the interests of its shareholders". Sir Stelios, who founded the airline and remains a non-executive director on its board, has alleged that easyJet breached

the terms of a contract between the two parties, according to the airline. easyJet said it "emphatically rejects" the accusations and "continues to seek constructive dialogue with easyGroup and Sir Stelios". The news comes just after the easyGroup founder withdrew his calls for an extraordinary general meeting in order to remove a member of the airline's board. The move had the potential to undermine easyJet's value. "Clearly Stelios has been working on this new airline venture for some time and it suggests that war and acrimony are about to break out again between the two sides," a business comentator said. Sir Stelios and his family are the largest shareholders in easyJet with 38% ownership. He has declined to comment on the new venture. The Fastjet website only has the words "Fastjet.com by Stelios. Coming Soon!"

A third of people travel without insurance RYANAIR, have warned that over a third of passengers are risking huge medical bills if they have an accident or become ill abroad, after a survey of 4,000 passengers found that over a third travel without travel insurance.

While half of those surveyed (46%) held annual or multi-trip insurance and one in five (19%) purchased single trip cover, 82% with insurance did not know if their policy offered ski, business travel or sports (golf ) cover. Worryingly 90% of those who travelled without insurance were unaware that medical repatriation flights could cost them over €18,000, should they become seriously ill when abroad. Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said; “Ryanair delivers Europe’s lowest fares which is why over 75 million passengers will travel with Ryanair this year. However, we advise all passengers to use a little of what they saved on our low fares to purchase a Ryanair travel insurance product that best suits their needs and could save them over €18,000 if the become seriously ill abroad. Passengers can purchase great value single trip policies from just €5.50, annual multi-trip policies from €32 and ski cover from €29 directly from Ryanair.com, and then travel safe in the knowledge their holiday, their possessions and their health is covered.”

Boeing dream comes true After three years of delays costing billions of dollars, Boeing's 787 Dreamliner has become a reality as the US company gets set to deliver its first order to Japan's All Nippon Airlines.

With the formal documents signed, the first of the $200m (£129.4m) planes is scheduled to head for Tokyo on Tuesday. The deal between the world's second biggest plane manufacturer and the ninth largest airline by revenues was initially due to see delivery in May 2008. The US and Japanese financial markets are among those suffering amid concerns over the response to the euro debt crisis, with the Nikkei closing at its lowest level since April 2009. The Dreamliner is made from a lightweight carbon-fibre composite which Boeing expects to become the standard for future designs. The change will allow it to fly 52% further than the all-metal Boeing 767 while delivering 20% fuel sav-

ings according to the manufacturer. At a time of volatile fuel prices the savings may appeal widely to airlines. The mid-sized aircraft also boasts a more comfortable cabin environment for passengers with cleaner cabin air, higher humidity and larger windows with electronic shades. Boeing currently has orders for 821 Dreamliners, and hopes to be manufacturing 10 per month by the end of 2013.

British Airways will take delivery of 24, Virgin has ordered 15 while Thomas Cook will take 11. All Nippon Air ways' first Dreamliner will take of f from from Paine Field airpor t in Washington and is due to begin ser vice on October 26. In keeping with the rivalry between the US airplane manufacturer and Europe's Airbus, the Dreamliner will compete with the new A350 when it comes out in two years' time.

This topless wonder is a genuine sight to behold AMG’S ability to engineer a blisteringlyfast machine has never been in doubt, and you’d expect a touch more class car from the new SLS Roadster.

Happily, it doesn’t disappoint. This motor has charisma by the bucketful, and that’s why it is such a head-turner. Mercedes-AMG GmbH, commonly known as AMG, is a subsidiary of the Mercedes-Benz car company, which specialises in highperformance luxury cars. And this supreme grand tourer, set to replace the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, is the first Merc designed in-house by AMG. It is described by Mercedes-Benz as a “spiritual successor” to the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing, and they have really delivered the goods with this fantastic-looking car, despite losing those fancy doors. Like its big-brother coupe, it gets AMG’s hand-

built, 6.2-litre V8 engine, souped up a little over the C-Classes and other cars it has featured in, and turning out a noisy and exciting 571hp. Losing those trademark doors is a fair swap for the ability to hear that legendary engine do its thing as well, and the SLS Roadster is worth every penny of its £176,895 cost. A RaceStart mode on the gearbox will eat up the benchmark 0-62mph run in 3.8secs, which compares with the coupe and is on a par with the Ferrari California and half-asecond quicker than the comparable Aston Martin DBS Volante. Epic performance is one thing, but it’s the way the SLS lets you enjoy and exploit it that really stands out. It has a great natural balance and changes direction much faster than you’d expect, given the size. Optional adjustable Ride Control dampers

are a new feature for the Roadster, while the midway Sport setting equates to the standard set-up on the coupe. Like the coupe, the SLS Roadster has great style, fit and finish, which is spoiled slightly by some

disappointing ly-generic switchgear for the infotainment and heating controls. But it’s also snug with the roof up. With AMG adopting relative downsizing and other technology like turbos and cylinder cut-off, the days

of this 6.2-litre V8 in the current eco climate are, sadly, numbered. But this SLS is giving it an almighty finale, and it comes with all the safety technology you’d find elsewhere in the range as well.

It will be available in November, so if you are after a tasty, early Christmas present and the family piggy-bank is full to overflowing, it might be worth dropping a gentle hint your better half. You never know!

Well Intercepted! The Jenson’s making a comeback WOULD you believe it! Even as we went to print last week, the obsolete Jenson Interceptor I featured in the “Futuristic” Flops” column was being revived.

Yes, a modern version of the Interceptor is set to lighten up the design of the original, which was produced from 1966-76. Despite its technically-futuristic underpinnings then, the “Ferguson Formula” Interceptor failed commercially and Jensen

30 September - 6 October 2011

went into receivership in 1976. It was said in jest that the biggest challenge with the original machine was fitting a towbar in order to cart a fuel tanker around you because of its a legendary thirst. Now, in keeping with the spirit of a retro revival

which has seen a number of vehicles come back from the grave - including Lamborghini’s stunning Miura - Coventry-based coachbuilder CPP are bringing the classy GT up to date. CPP, who own Spyker Sports Cars, have been awarded the con-

tract to build the car from the Swiss owners of the company formerly known as British Healy Sports Cars. It will be based on a brand-new aluminium platform and will use aluminium bodywork, aiming for a lightweight vehicle. And it is likely to provide some competition in the fast four-seater GT segment for marques like Lotus and Aston Martin. The design has been worked up by CPP - co-owned by wealthy Russian Vladimir Antonov - and will be revealed late next year, with a 2014 date for rolling off the production line. The CPP company say they will retain the four-seat lay-out as per the original, and will keep its key design features, such as the wraparound rear screen, quad

headlights and vents behind the front-wheel arches. The first-generation Interceptor had a 6.4-litre Chrysler V8, and later a 7.2-litre engine with three two-barrel carbs that put out 290kW. There is talk now of a modern Corvette V8 engine being used, which should maintain the car’s taste for fuel and offer enough poke to compete with the competition. Brendan O’Toole, CPP coowner, said: “The Jensen design team have respected and honoured the great heritage and attributes of the original Interceptor, while injecting a contemporary edge and advanced technologies. That will ensure it appeals to today’s passionate, discerning motoring enthusiast.”

Match Report By Geoff Huxtable IN A well-earned break from the rigours of weekly action, the League held its annual Finals night at the Nauta Bar last Friday evening.

In front of a packed house, some of the League’s best darters did battle under the bright lights of the big stage. And the first piece of silverware to be claimed went to Bar 180’s Lynn, Greta and Karen, who took the Ladies Trebles with a 3-1 win over a gallant Phoenix Bar team. The Open Trebles final was an all-Nauta affair that saw Ian, Dale and Mitch finish runners-up to Mike, London and Daniel. There was a familiar look to the Ladies Doubles as Betty and Conny, of Cafe Rood B, retained their crown with a comfortable victory over Anne and Dee (Valle Vikings). But Betty wasn’t finished there because she also won the Ladies Singles for the second year in a row. The Open Doubles final (sponsored by Volare Show Bar) looked a cracker on paper and did not disappoint, although Del Boy and Bubbles had to settle for the runners-up trophy after Nauta pairing Dale and Mitch came out on top.

Lastly, the Open Singles final (also sponsored by Volare Show Bar) pitched the youthful Tom (Sundowners) against Nauta A’s seasoned campaigner Mitch. Sadly for Tom, Mitch was in no mood to let his title slip and put in a fine performance to claim his second winner’s trophy of the night. Many thanks to everyone who helped out with scoring and calling duties, and a special mention to Ray and Debbie, of Nauta Bar, who put in a lot of effort to stage the event and kept us nicely fed and watered. Winners Ladies Trebles: Lynn/Greta/ Karen (Bar 180); Runners-up: Liz/ Jo-Jo/Lillian (Phoenix Bar) Ladies Doubles: Betty/Conny (Cafe Rood); Runners-up: Anne/ Dee (Valle Vikings) Ladies Singles; Betty (Cafe Rood); Runner-up: Laura (Toscales) Open Trebles: Mike/London/ Daniel (Nauta); Runners-up: Ian/ Dale/Mitch (Nauta) Open Doubles: Dale/Mitch (Nauta); Runners-up: Bubbles/Del Boy (Phoenix) Open Singles: Mitch (Nauta); Runner-up: Tom (Sundowners)

A bad day at the office Getafe B 1 - CD Tenerife 0 THIS was a little hard to take. Just 18 months ago, Tenerife were a little unlucky not to get a rare away point against Getafe and here they were, last Saturday lunchtime, walking off the same pitch after losing to their stiffs! The headline says it all. In a match that was hardly a classic, Tenerife should have returned with something against a poor side. Maybe it was the travelling or the morning kick-off? But something didn’t quite seem right. I’m not going to be too harsh as this was the first league defeat of the season, and I saw the match only on an internet stream. Thanks General. Tenerife started with just the one change from the side who beat Coruxo. Abel came in to shore up the midfield, with Nico dropping to the bench. It’s a theory that will pay dividends this season. I’m all for flair players but away from home, you sometimes need a little more steel. Tenerife had the lion’s share of the early possession and should have taken the lead when they won a penalty. It was the first of the season and with Nico on the sidelines, it would surely fall to our free-kick taker Victor Bravo. Or maybe Ferran. Even striker Ruben Rosquette had to be in with a shout. No. Step forward our six-foot

It was just one of those games. But it’s onwards and upwards and, as the table shows, Tenerife are still nicely placed ahead of this Sunday’s noon kickoff against strugglers Montañeros. The visitors are a fine little club. Based in Galicia, they have been going for only a few generations and spent the bulk of that time in the regional leagues. But they started to aim higher at the turn of the century. In 2007, they were promoted into the fourth tier, and just two years later they went up again. They finished an amazing 10th in their first season and last year backed that up with a solid 12th place. They have started okay this time around.

20-inch battering ram Kiko. Yes, he is the captain. Yes, he has scored a few goals. But would you pick Peter Crouch over Rafael Van der Vaart from 12 yards? Kiko proceeded to produce one of the worst efforts since Robert Pires and Thierry Henry had a laugh against Manchester City. To compound this error, Getafe were gifted their own spot-kick after a handball by Tarrantino. Hugo confidently showed Kiko how it was done. That should have been the signal for Tenerife to up their game, but it never happened. They looked leggy and a little one-dimensional. Half-chances were exactly that, and even Nico’s introduction early in the second half didn’t produce the usual spark.

They gave Albacete a few problems some weeks back, and lost to Getafe B by the same scoreline as Tenerife. Last week they held Real Madrid Castilla to a draw, so they will not be taken lightly. As with most sides at this standard, they are not the best travellers and the early alarm call, two-hour flight and the change in climate must play into Tenerife hands. New boy Chechu Flores must again wait to make his home debut. He has suffered a calf injury and will be out for another few weeks. Striker Perona is now fully fit, and it will be interesting to see if he starts in place of Rosquette, who scored on his home debut a fortnight ago.

Chio cheers are

Creaky Trap Door just scrape home THE divisions are starting to shape after week eight, with Trap Door still on top of Division One after a close shave against rock-bottom Toscales Old Boys. They were five-up yet only just managed to scrape the victory. But there were no such worries for Palms A, who were always in control against Legends. Hat-tip must go to Paul, from Legends, who completed a magnificent break-finish in his double match against Johnny and Adi. Hoops showed their title teeth as they came from 2-0 down against useful yardsticks Bar 180 C to win 8-2. Phoenix Knights also put down a marker as they spanked Nauta A 9-1, while Tenerife Hammers A continue to show their old form. They were full value for the 7-3 win over Terrace A, which saw the Amarilla Golf gang lose their unbeaten record. Summerland Superstars dropped Penguin and the move worked as they beat Atlantis Sharks 6-4, while Gaffers A overcame Target Bar 7-3. Dreamers earned a fighting point at Bar 180 A. They were 2-0 and 4-2 down and nearly got all three points. Summerland Allstars and Tasca also had a tight draw in Los Cristianos. Phoenix Potters are the new Division Two leaders fol-

lowing their latest victory, this time at Terrace B. They are one of four undefeated sides in what is shaping up to be a really hot league. Barracuda Bandits drop to second after Tenerife Hammers C held them to their third draw in four matches, while Summerland Elite won the Los Cristianos derby at Market Taverners 7-3. Exiles A will see it as two points dropped as they shared the spoils at home to Barracuda Hunters, and Inn The Pink have been leapfrogged by Bar La Caña after the Los Abrigans’ 6-4 win. Wandabar A thrashed Lupain 9-1 to move into the top eight, and Nauta B put Tenerife Pool Tables in their place 8-2. Toscales A-Team are improving, as their win over Target Rangers proved, and Connors are in the top 10 for the first time ever following a fine draw at Atlantis Crew. Gaffers B were pushed all the way by bottom-of-thetable Dragon’s Denn, but they got there 6-4 to stay top of Division Three. C&A Titans and Exiles B had gimmes, but The Treehouse were made to work for their win by Dos Hermanos, who were 4-2 up. James Bar sneaked past Sunshine Bar, Bull Ring Tavern climbed to seventh with a win over Lucky Leprechaun, and Next Door secured their first-ever win - an 8-2 success at Legendary Jokers.

just not enough UD Chio led 1-0 at half-time in their Second Regional Division match at San Isidro Stadium last Saturday, roared on by their travelling contingent of nearly 30 fans. But whatever San Isidro B coach told his players during the interval did the trick because they rattled in three second-half goals for a 3-1 victory. Chio, backed the CD Tenerife fan shop (Soy del Tete) in Fanabe Plaza, are away again tomorrow (Saturday), this time in Granadilla against AD Hermano Pedro, kicking off at 6pm.

Horoscopes of the week Libra

The enthusiasm with which you are now approaching your life is just infectious for Librans. The restraints that have made it so difficult for you to act as you would like are now lifted and with this comes many new and very appealing choices. By the way, a face from the past will soon be back on the social scene.

TAURUS (April 21stMay 21st) Problems that have been taking place in your work should now begin to disappear, slowly but surely. Even paperwork you had given up on finding will turn up in the most familiar of places. Don’t rush though. Get some order to the events in your life because this is the key to success. GEMINI (May 22ndJune 21st) We are all faced with choices which were unavailable to us previously, but Geminis always like to be different. You have several choices and seem intent on exploring every single one of them fully. Just make sure you can stand by what you decide. Your happiness and pride depend on it. CANCER (June 22ndJuly 23rd) With so many social invitations on offer, it may be very tempting for you to put off any real business until next week, but you must resist. There are some

valuable contacts to be made at this time and it’s imperative you take advantage of them. It will also help you to sort your priorities in life. LEO (July 24thAugust 23rd) The Sun gives you the upper hand in business and helps you to work out where you have been going wrong with certain events and relationships in your life. Invites to new places can put you directly in the path of a compatible new face. VIRGO (August 24thSeptember 23rd) You are usually so good at giving other people advice, but at the moment you are doing a very good job of listening and not talking. This could well be because you know you need to see how other people view what is fast becoming a very delicate situation SCORPIO (October 24thNovember 22nd) You seem to be far more worried about how your actions look rather than how you really feel about them. It is all very well acting on the advice of others, but with this decision comes a heavy price which you will not be willing to pay. A word of warning: avoid being controversial this weekend. SAGITTARIUS (November 23rdDecember 21st) You have always proved to be the most fun with business and personal

plans, but just think about how far you can go with your cheeky behaviour. There is far more at stake than some people realise, isn’t there? This is the time for many born under this sign to go more solo with their career choices. CAPRICORN (December 22ndJanuary 20th) Don’t put your name on the line in the name of business because it simply won’t work out at this time. The person urging you on is unlikely to do the same in return, so look closer to home to find out who are your genuine allies at this testing time. AQUARIUS (January 21stFebruary 19th) Phone calls and texts bring an apology you never expected to hear. You’ve put so much time and energy into life of late, but have patience and great rewards are there for the taking if you’re willing to show what an ultimate professional you are. PISCES (February 20thMarch 20th) Your love life has been subject to a lot of controversy and what you may or may not do seems to be the centre of many a conversation.
