In the La Opinión newspaper in November 2000 the Tenerife Cabildo promised, “the North and South will have their hospitals before 2002”, the same newspaper, one month later, informed the public that the regional government and the Cabildo promised the centres would be operational in 2004, and El Dia, in September 2001 published a promise from the

Cabildo that “the work on the hospitals in the North and the South will begin at the end of 2002 and finish in 2005”.

Current regional president Paulino Rivero told press agency EFE in June 2008 that the hospital would be finished “before 2011” and now we are told that phase one should be complete “in 19 months”, so in August 2012. But don’t hold your breath as it’ll be a long time before there’s a doctor available to revive you.

Bring Lisa back

As we go to press Maribel Risco Weyrich has asked the foreign press to help her search for her four year old daughter Lisa.

Maribel thinks that her little girl has been taken to Germany by her father, Marcos, from Valle San Lorenzo, where the separated couple live in

neighbouring apartments, with joint custody of their child. On January 20th Marcos told Maribel he was taking Lisa on a trip to El Hierro, but would have her back the following day – that was the last Maribel has seen of her daughter, and when she went to Marcos’ apartment, she found that the child’s winter clothes had been taken and the apartment looked like it had been emptied. She also found out that Marcos has sold his car, and is no longer answering his Spanish mobile. If anyone has information regarding the whereabouts of Lisa they should contact the Spanish or German police.

this disgrace lies at the doors of the regional government, and since 1995 that government has been led by the CC (Coalicion Canaria) either in coalition with the PP (Partido Popular) or ruling as a minority.

We are now in year 17 since the decision to build a public hospital in South Tenerife was first debated and agreed upon.

There have been a myriad of excuses for the delays, including changes in structure, design, services to be offered, funding, problems with building

If the latest press release from the regional government, announcing that the first phase of the public hospital for South Tenerife will be complete in (hopefully) 19 months, is supposed to appease, it fails miserably.

For too long people in South Tenerife, openly acknowledged as the island’s economic motor, have been relegated to the second division. The population has continued to grow, but services, sadly, have not.

And if anything is proof of this it is the sick joke that is being played upon the population of the dates for completion of this hospital.

There have been so many excuses given that it’s hard to believe any one of them, and while no single party or government can be blamed, it would appear that they have all failed to make this a genuine priority as opposed to one that can be trotted out as a sap to the poorer second class southerners now and then. Let’s be fair,

Ryanair

Mafia arrest

Challenge to boarding card decision

More than meets the eye?

Ryanair passengers are obliged to check in and print off their boarding cards before they go to the airport

By Karl McLaughlin

T

he recent arrest of a member of the Italian mafia in Tenerife may have been more orchestrated that the authorities have let on.

As reported here, Salvatore Marino, the 50-year-old nephew of the head of the mafia in Paceco (Sicily), was held in a police swoop on New Year’s Eve in Playa Paraíso and flown immediately to Madrid for extradition to Italy to serve a long sentence for the brutal killing of a family in 2006 over a multi-million euro fraud involving EU funds.

The official version given by the Italian and Spanish authorities, and virtually the only information reproduced in media reporting of the arrest, was that Marino had been spotted by an Italian prison officer who happened to be on holiday in Tenerife and swiftly alerted his home authorities, who then issued a warrant via Interpol. However, sources have revealed to Island Connections that the ‘coincidence’ may well have been a red herring to protect a more elaborate operation which has been monitoring the activities of suspected ‘mafiosos’ in Tenerife for some

time. The arrest was not the first of a known mafia figure in these shores and follows similar headline-making operations in 2003 and 2007. Roberto Saviano, an Italian journalist in hiding after publishing a book on the activities of his countr y’s leading mobsters, highlighted an extensive presence of Italian organised crime tentacles in Spain and told the El País newspaper recently that ‘several parts of Tenerife have been built using Cosa Nostra money’.

Sources consulted by Island Connections say that Marino had been under surveillance for some time but was proving elusive because he rarely ventured out in public. One officer from the Playa de Las Américas station is believed to have been tasked with befriending Italians in the Playa Paraíso area to listen out for news of Marino and other mafia figures and his persistence paid off when he eventually identified the supermarket where Marino did his shopping. A stake-out of the shop led to the arrest.

Although the authorities here have played down the incident, as well as recent suggestions

Ryanair said it has instructed its Spanish lawyers to appeal what Ryanair believes is a bizarre and unlawful ruling by the Barcelona Commercial Court No.1 that Ryanair’s €40 boarding card reissue fee is unlawful.

Playa Paraíso swoop not as coincidental as reported?

that the south of the island is a favourite haunt for criminals on the run (a recent feature in the Diario de Avisos newspaper following Marino’s arrest was entitled ‘Tenerife: Mafia stomping ground and shelter’), the monitoring of known suspects not just from Italy but from Britain, Russia and several Eastern European countries also features much higher on the police agenda than is being admitted at present. Similar operations are conducted regularly also in tourist areas of Gran Canaria, where fugitive mafia boss Pietro Nocea, who lived on a yacht when visiting the Canaries, was arrested almost exactly five years ago.

The ruling was issued after Dan Miro, a lawyer, brought a case to the court after he was charged €40 by the Ryanair airport check- in desk because he had failed to print his boarding card before a flight and they had to do so there. All passengers booking flights with Ryanair are told to print off their boarding cards up to four hours before the scheduled flying time or face the extra cost. Ryanair have said that their passengers implicitly agree at the time of booking that they will check-in online, and print off their own boarding cards.

“Should a passenger arrive at the airport without their boarding card, then they are not entitled to fly, and there is no obligation on Ryanair to provide them with replacements”, their statement continues.

They add that in their opinion it isn’t, in fact, within the remit of the court “to redraft or alter the reasonable contractual terms already agreed between Ryanair and its passengers and which are readily observed by over 99 per cent of all Ryanair passengers who arrive at the airport with their boarding cards”. Further, they have said that if the ruling is not reversed on appeal, then Ryanair will dispense with

the boarding card reissue fee altogether, and passengers who arrive at the airport without the agreed pre-printed boarding card will not be able to pass through security or board their aircraft.

Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said that the company’s “low fare low cost services” are agreed by each passenger at the time of booking, and mean less handling agents are needed at airports. He said, “If this ruling is upheld on appeal, Ryanair will be forced to cease offering a Boarding Pass Reissue facility at airports and passengers who are not in possession of a valid Boarding Pass for their flight will not be able to pass through security, and will be unable to travel. These passengers will then need to make a new booking for the next available flight at the current fare.

“Ryanair cannot understand how the Barcelona Commercial Court can reinterpret a contractual agreement freely entered into between 73m passengers and Ryanair, after the event”.

The airline have said that while the appeal is pending they will continue to operate their boarding card policy as normal.

FITUR 2011 ::

F

itur is rightly considered among the most important trade fairs in the industr y in Europe and the islands were well represented by politicians at regional, insular and borough level and professionals from within the sector.

Positive moves in Madrid

Reports from all those who attended Fitur, the Madrid tourism fair, are very definitely upbeat. that while the country’s economic climate might not seem as healthy as their German counterparts, “the forecast is optimistic and we are seeing solid booking for Tenerife, not just for the winter season…but for summer as well”.

Bermudez was also upbeat about the stability of the national market. However on a more cautious note, regarding a reduction in flights to the islands, he stated “we need to

OPENING

have the best air connections on offer; a tourist who decides to visit our island must have the option to choose a flight that is convenient from a range of airlines, from low cost to first class on a scheduled flight”.

Local boroughs were also well represented, and Adeje’s tourism councillor Miguel Ángel Santos said the week had been “very interesting… very intense”, with meetings

Manuel Bermúdez, expressed his belief that the work completed in Madrid will hugely benefit the island in 2011.

He was particularly optimistic about the revival of the German market, given the good signs of national economic recovery, which he expects to see reflected in an increase in holidays to Tenerife.

Regarding the British sector, the main exporting market for tourism for the island, he said

paula.nicol@ crowngroup.es

The Canary Island stand manages to promote the archipelago as one region, offering information on all the offers, our excellent climate, beaches, the advantage of location, and this year there was also a new ‘wellness delight’ zone, promoting spa and health tourism, which was much visited.

The stand and the fair also allows individual islands and regions to promote themselves and gives them a focus point for meetings and negotiations with current and future tourism partners.

During the fair regional president Paulino Rivero signed a Competitive Plan for the Canary Islands, ‘A Volcanic Experience II’, which is, in a sense, the second part of the volcanic tourism plan initiated in 2009, with funding of over €2 million. Part II is in conjunction with the islands of La Palma (promoting nighttime excursions and walks), Fuerteventura (promoting and developing rambles in volcanic zones) and El Hierro (offering fascinating underwater volcanic routes).

Tenerife representatives were also very busy, and the island tourism councillor, José

throughout the five day fair with tour operators and airlines as well as other industry professionals. “I’m pleased with the work we’ve done”, he said, “as we were able to tell tour operators directly of the huge changes and upgrades we have completed in the destination”. Operators such as Globalia, Orizonia, Viajes Iberia, Viajes El Corte Inglés, and many others, were shown first hand evidence of

improvements in the Costa Adeje region as well as additions and new hotels, services, restaurants and spas. However he shared Bermudez’s concern at the reduction in flights to the South of Tenerife, adding that this didn’t just affect tourists but “the 200,000 residents who live in this part of the island”.

During the fair Santa Cruz also launched their ‘tourist bus’ which will operate in the island capital during the months of February and March, with a 45 minute circuit of the city, and 14 stops.

Other news from Fitur included a ‘special Jury mention’ in the Best Active Tourism Product in Spain for the La Orotava based company, Patea Tus Montes (Walk your mountains) for their innovate Titanic Route, combining cinema, nature and rambling, offering people the chance to walk through the locations used in the Clash of the Titans, filmed here by Warner Brothers.

EU funding

Hotel probe resurfaces Lanzarote hotels are back in the headlines for the wrong reasons following fresh coverage by local media in the Canaries of a probe by a prestigious English investigation body into the fraudulent use of EU money.

Non-profit body the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, based in London’s City University, spent eight months looking into the improper use of EU funding in several countries and found that substantial grants were given

to build hotels on Lanzarote even though planners were aware the hotels breached environmental rules. The Financial Times reported on the controversial cases some months ago and hinted that Lanzarote might be stripped by UNESCO of its World Biosphere status due to the building of the hotels.

The combined investigation by the FT and the Bureau identified eight large hotels on the island, some of which use the biosphere status to promote their businesses, which had qualified for €23.6m of EU funding under schemes

designed to help generate employment in the area. The paper also pointed out that more than 30 local officials and businessmen in Lanzarote have been arrested in connection with the use of illegal planning permits and that the EU’s anti-corruption team has been tasked with ensuring that the EU subsidies are returned. The investigation has merited extensive coverage by the Canarias Ahora newspaper, which says that the port of Arinaga in Gran Canaria may also be under suspicion for improper use of EU money.

Asprocan

Bananas dumped ‘to protect prices’ Revelations that the biggest banana producer organisation in the Canaries ordered its members to dump almost 750,000 kilos of the fruit in the early weeks of this year to prevent them reaching the market has triggered a furious reaction among consumers.

Asprocan is said to have told producers to get rid of the bananas because of a

possible over-supply, which would send prices falling across Spain and in some European countries.

The news has prompted calls for an official inquiry into the practices of the organisation, since this is not the first time such allegations have hit the headlines. Asprocan is also accused of helping producers sell damaged bananas on the mainland which should have been scrapped after the

farmers concerned received emergency pay-outs for storm damage a couple of months ago.

“The fruit should not have left the Canaries if production had been written off and compensated by insurers. If it had not been sent in December, there would be no need to dump the bananas now to protect prices” said an insider.

CabildoNews Storm damage

Forest inspection The Tenerife councillor for the environment, Wladimiro Rodríguez Brito accompanied by the regional director general of the department of environmental protection Emilio Atiénzar and the mayors of La Orotava and Los Realejos, Isaac Valencia and Oswaldo Amaro respectively, recently visited the forest zones badly affected by the heavy November storms.

Rodríguez Brito reported that the storms, which saw extremely high winds hit many parts of the island, affected 286 hectares of forest, and the estimated cost of work to redeem the forest zone was in the region

Wladimiro Rodríguez Brito

of € 2.7 millon. He added that given current economic restraints the work would be carried out in phases, the first being to clear fallen trees in the affected areas to minimise the risk of fire in the coming months. He added that he would be relying on the municipal assistance offered by Los Realejos and La Orotava.

Boat Saharans allowed to stay

Five Saharans who arrived in the Canaries by boat after crossing from Africa are to be considered for political asylum by the Spanish government, although another 17 who travelled with them have been turned down in a controversial decision.

T

he landing of the boat in Fuerteventura in early January received widespread media coverage when it emerged that the migrants all alleged they had fled from their homes in the Western Sahara to avoid police persecution during the ongoing crackdown by the Moroccan authorities against Saharan activism. However, Spanish Interior Ministry sources say not all the occupants were genuine and several had tried to use the Saharan cover to enter Spain and be allowed to stay permanently.

In only five cases do the authorities, who have worked closely with members of the Saharan community in the Canaries to identify the true cases, believe that returning the men would endanger them.

Torgier Larser and Ricardo Melchior

The Norwegian Ambassador to Spain was in Tenerife recently and was received by Cabildo president Ricardo Melchior. Torgier Larser and the president commented on the excellent relationship Norway enjoys with Tenerife, an important tourist destination for many holidaymakers from there.

Handmade workshops

Crafty Tools The Cabildo have organised a series of workshops and courses for those craft workers in the island to help them use new technology tools to promote and sell their hand made products.

The department of economic development, commerce and employment ran a number of courses on social networking and use of the Internet as well as use of such on-line tools such as Pisaca, Youtube, optimum use of Google searches and blogging, and using Facebook to promote themselves and their crafts. Insular councillor Efraín Medina said that “social networks have acquired an important position in the World of communications and are now recognised as an important tool in the development and promotion of companies as well as artists, brands and public relations”.

Arson trial

Blaze suspect released

The man who caused the massive forest fire that devastated parts of Gran Canaria in the summer of 2007 has been released from remand at the island’s prison because the case has not come to court yet.

T

he Prosecution Service has admitted it had no choice but to allow his release under current remand rules but is insisting on measures to prevent him from leaving the Canaries. 40-year-old Juan Antonio Navarro, who was employed temporarily as an assistant forest warden at the time, is said to have started the blaze deliberately to justify an extension to his contract. He himself contacted the emergency services to report the outbreak during his shift and described seeing two youths fleeing the scene. He was arrested by police a few days later due to contradictions in his account of events and confessed to starting the blaze.

T

he fire destroyed thousands of hectares of

woodland in the south of the island and badly damaged the Palmitos Park zoo, which had to close for a year and lost an estimated €15 million as a result. Navarro is likely to face 16 years in prison if he is convicted, as expected, when the trial comes to court.

Fitur figures

G.Canaria tourism up

Gran Canaria attracted 6.2 per cent more holidaymakers in 2010 compared to 2009 and the numbers could have been even higher had it not been for the major disruption caused to flights by the Icelandic volcano ash cloud in the spring and the air traffic controller walk-out in December.

T

he local authorities and tourist industr y are delighted at the upturn in fortunes, which saw a total of 3.3 million people spend their holidays on the island, including one German tourist for every resident. Tourism chief Roberto Moreno, who announced the figures ahead of the FITUR Holiday Fair in Madrid, reckons the increase could have been more than eight per cent had it not been

for the two incidents, which brought chaos to travel plans for several days and deprived the island of upwards of 50,000 visitors.

One in four OK

Crisis, what crisis?

A new survey by Canarian economy watchdog, the CES, has thrown up the unusual finding that almost a quarter of people here say they have not been affected in any way by the current crisis, now into its fourth year.

W

hile 75 per cent of respondents admitted they were being hit to various degrees by the prolonged downturn, including 35 per cent who described the impact on them as ‘very serious’, 24.3 per cent said they had noted little or no change in business or in their personal circumstances. Among the respondents, people in Tenerife were most pessimistic as regards an improvement in the current economic climate, while Lanzarote and El Hierro residents generally saw themselves as worst-hit by the crisis.

Airport hours extension call Fuerteventura is pressing the Spanish Airports Authority hard to extend the opening hours of the island’s airport.

Currently operating between 7am and 11pm, the airport is losing important custom from airlines, says the local tourism board and Cabildo. Tourism councillor Águeda Montelongo is demanding ‘equal treatment’

with neighbours Lanzarote, who have been granted an extension until 2am as of the spring according to the regional media.

“We could attract more business if planes were allowed to land very late at night and depart early morning. Ryanair has expressed an interest in making Fuerteventura a

Opening hours

base but cannot do so with the current opening hours” said Montelongo.

The request has already been backed by the Canarian government, which says it would be a waste of potential if the newly-modernised airport were not used to the full. Also supporting the bid are the island’s main business organisations, including the Chamber of Commerce.

Smoking ban

‘Drink and runs’ increase The first month of the smoking ban has brought an unwanted consequence for bars and pubs in the shape of a noticeable rise in the number of people who leave without paying for their drinks, on the pretext that they are just popping out for a smoke.

The phenomenon, which appears to be affecting the entire country, has made the headlines in the national

media and has led many night spots to charge for drinks at the time of serving instead of allowing customers to run up a tab.

According to the Europa Press news agency, an association of bars and pubs in Madrid is alerting members to the new ‘drink and run’ problem and giving advice on how to halt it. The agency also notes that many establishments

have begun to offer a ‘keep an eye on my drink’ service to enable customers to leave their glasses or bottles while they go out for a cigarette.

Meanwhile, bars in the small town of Chiva near Valencia have threatened to get rid of one employee each in protest at the financial impact of the smoking ban on business. The bars, who have been joined by several others in the region, have called on others to take similar action to force the government into revising the ban decision.

EDITION 635 :: 28/01/2011 - 10/02/2011 :: ISLAND CONNECTIONS Don Mario, teachers and children

A

French priest and teacher is to be posthumously honoured with the title hijo adoptivo, or adopted son, by the town of Hermigua. This is the highest accolade given by Spanish communities to outstanding individuals, so what did he do?

Mario Lhermert Vallier was born in 1895 in the Ardeche in France, to a family ‘of peasant stock’. Materially poor, but arguably spiritually rich, he was brought up in a Christian environment, was attracted to teaching and the priesthood and managed to get himself sufficiently well-educated to enter a teaching order at nineteen. No mean feat for an agricultural labourer’s son.

He joined the Brothers of the Christian Schools-or Lasallian Brothers. The La Salle area of Santa Cruz in Tenerife, by the way, is named after Jean Baptiste de La Salle, the order’s founder. Mario was immediately dispatched to his first teaching post in the French colony of Algeria.

He had just started teaching there, in 1914, when the First World War broke out. The French Government mobilised all French nationals there.

Mario, with thousands of others, and after many adventures, found himself first in Morocco and then, unaccountably, declared a fugitive and banned from re-entering France until after 1950.

Bereft of religious order, work, or country and stranded in North Africa, he crossed the Straits of Gibraltar into mainland Spain to look for work, in time- honoured fashion. From Spain, he came south to the

Hermigua’s adopted son

Don Mario’s academy

By Barbara Belt Canaries, further still away from the country he could no longer enter.

He arrived in La Laguna in Tenerife in 1919, where he made a life for himself and taught for twenty years, until he was forty-four. Then he decided to become a priest, enrolled at the Seminary and was ordained two years later. Thus began the phase of his life which brought him to La Gomera.

His ordination coincided with the death of the parish priest of Hermigua, who had died of typhoid. Whilst this sounds incredible for the mid-twentieth

century, it is worth remembering general conditions on the island then. Islanders still escaped feudal landlords by risking their lives in small boats and could be shot by the Guardia Civíl for leaving without ‘permission’. Risking hazardous Atlantic crossings was worth it for the freedom to work in Cuba or Venezuela.

Education on the island was basic. Only twenty-five years ago, many over-forties had basic literacy skills and total illiteracy was not unusual. There was little further education. Young adults from affluent families

were tutored at home, or studied in Tenerife. There was nothing else on offer, neither private nor public. A lucky minority had access to further education, with no provision for the rest.

A deputation of parishioners from Hermigua made the long journey to La Laguna to petition the bishop. They wanted the next priest to be a teacher, able to organise and give pre-university, Bachillerato education. The bishop sent the useful ex-Lasallian, but only for “a couple of years” as he was needed to teach at the Seminary in Tenerife. Don Mario thus

arrived at his new parish in September, 1941.

The famously bad storm of forty-one, remembered in local songs, had devastated large areas of the island and any hope of organising that academic year, but the following year saw the start of the town’s new college. The new priest had looked at education in his parish, found it seriously wanting and, with no money, managed to conjure up both college premises, using church property, and teachers.

He managed to ar range for a local primar y teacher to work as school secretary, thus saving one salar y and interestingly blurring the private/state education divide.

Other specialist teachers were somehow persuaded to come and work in a backwater, for salaries generated by uncertain monthly parental subscriptions.

(Amongst them was Florence Stephens who had arrived in La Gomera in the twenties as governess to a large family).

“Nobody was turned away.

If our parents couldn’t afford it, and we were bright and he thought we’d make a go of university, he’d tell them not to worry, enroll us anyway and work us so hard that we’d sail through the entrance exams - unheard of in those days for workers’ children. Quite a few of us went straight back to work there as teachers and were delighted to do so”, remembers Oswaldo Izquierdo Dorta.

Monthly payments were reduced when people had problems, or waived altogether.

The new college, of ficially called Cristo Rey, but better known as Don Mario’s Academy, went from strength to strength against all odds.

Exam results were excellent, fruit of good teaching and what former students remember as Mario’s, “...inflexible, disciplinarian, iron-willed insistence on excellence”. Amelia Bravo, a former student, adds, “...it was infectious. We weren’t allowed to fail, not in class, break or anywhere. So we didn’t. He had

We all did our best, because only that was good enough” a lot of energy and charisma. We all did our best, because only that was good enough”.

Despite being enticed, and then ordered, back to Tenerife by his bishop, Mario stayed in Hermigua until he died in nineteen eighty, and was buried in the local cemetery.

Time passed and a collective desire to honour the French priest led to his re-interment in the main church, and, some years later, the naming of Hermigua’s present school in his memory. He will also be remembered as the reason Hermigua is twinned with Mazan L’Abbaye, his French birthplace. The two town councils are currently arranging the process.

Many today feel that the P.R. companies charging the Vatican megabucks it can easily afford to sanitise its unfortunate image as Nazi-sympathiser child abusers, could do a lot worse than lionize individuals like Mario Lhermet.

Ice rink heading south

Sun, sea and ice

Over the last month and a half, nearly 40,000 people of all ages from all over the island have donned their skates and used the ice rink which was installed in the Plaza de España, Santa Cruz. Its time has now come to an end in the capital and during the three days it took to dismantle the rink while sad faces looked on, the owners have been negotiating with the Arona council to install it in Los Cristianos, a resort which could well be offering sun, sea and ice as well.

In Santa Cruz, delegate councillor for the development society, Ángel Isidro Guimerá expressed his profound satisfaction with the project. He confirmed that its objectives had been completed – to offer a different type of leisure activity to the residents of the city, and to give a fillip to commercial activity in the area.

While awaiting data regarding the actual economical impact of the project, he admitted that around 1,000 persons per day visiting the rink could only be described as a success. He said he was proud to have fronted this initiative and that working all year to have the rink installed was worth the effort. He added, “it was a very interesting experience, and one which we hope to repeat in the future”.

Costa Adeje

Taking the horses to the water T

he fiesta of San Sebastián is one of the most significant of the year, not only for the people of Adeje, but also for the thousands who come from all over the island bringing their animals to be blessed, and thousands more tourists who specifically book their holidays in Tenerife to coincide with this event which is estimated to have been celebrated since the 16th centur y.

The location is a little corner of Costa Adeje called San Sebastián, which is next to La Caleta. The day began early, with a procession of pilgrims carrying the statue of San

Sebastián leaving the church of Santa Úrsula in Adeje at 9am. They trekked their way along five kilometres of roads and paths until they reached the crowd who were eagerly awaiting their arrival at the San Sebastián church, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

Meanwhile, many more pilgrims and other visitors of various nationalities including many Europeans and Latin Americans, had already arrived at the site early and needless to say the animals were the stars of the event for people of all ages, especially children.

There were horses, donkeys, sheep and delightful lambs, and of course many brought their dogs to be blessed

too. The majority of the animals had been groomed and dressed up for their special day with festive adornments.

The many stalls in the plaza came to life during the morning, some selling their wares and others food, drinks or ice cream. Music played and the sun shone while typical Canarian dishes were being prepared, such as garbanzas, goat and paella to feed the hungry crowd that afternoon.

Mass was held on arrival of the procession from Adeje, and following this the horses were ridden and other animals led to La Enramada beach for their traditional dip in the sea. Some of the animals didn’t think this was the best idea in the world, a few horses

threw their riders off their backs, on the beach and in the sea, while others reared. But all went well in the end, and eventually they enjoyed cantering playfully at the water’s edge. The statue of San Sebastián was brought down to the beach too, to a point called El Humilladero, a special place for the people of Adeje as this was where the statue of La Virgen de la Encarnación was found. Finally, the procession and the animals returned to the plaza where the animals were blessed.

This was a colourful day out, enjoyed by young and old alike, in fact more and more young people attend every year. Adeje council estimates that around 30,000 witnessed this amazing spectacle. If you weren’t one of them, why not make a note in your diary to go next year?

The disappearing bust

‘Bring back Agatha’ call

Locked

Love padlock craze in Tenerife

Puerto de la Cruz council has been urged to reinstate the bust of crime writer Agatha Christie at the Mirador La Paz in the town.

Local daily La Opinión reports that two bridges in the centre of Santa Cruz are filling up fast with assorted padlocks with inscriptions bearing the names of the young lovers, who ceremoniously throw away the key in the belief that the gesture will ‘lock in’ their love for ever.

The craze has been sweeping various parts of Europe since 2006, when a romance movie based upon the novel Ho Voglia di Te was released in Italy and featured a teenage couple writing their names on an ordinary padlock and locking it with a chain around a lamppost. Italian teenag-

The growing fashion of hanging a padlock on the railings of a bridge to signal eternal love between a couple is taking firm hold in Tenerife.

Love padlocks are now a world wide craze

ers then began to imitate the practice on the Ponte Milvio, throwing the keys into the Tiber in a gesture of undying love.

La Opinión counted upwards of 60 padlocks on the wrought iron sides of the Galcerán bridge recently, the majority affixed in 2009

and 2010, and the fashion is spreading to other local bridges. However, it has not reached the scale seen in Seville, where the council stepped in to remove all the padlocks on the city’s best-known bridge due to the danger that their combined weight would cause the railings to topple over.

The call comes from the socialist opposition in the town, which says the bust was a major attraction for British visitors and helped illustrate the ties between Christie and Puerto. It was taken down during renovations carried out in the area but despite the work’s completion some time ago, it has still not been put back.

“The bust and the naming of a street in Puerto after Agatha Christie proved popular with visitors and there is every reason to promote this link further” says socialist councillor Domingo Yañez, who recalled that the staging of an international Agatha Christie event to mark the 80th anniversary of the writer’s stay in Puerto, which inspired part of book The Mysterious Mr Quinn, was a major success with Bring back the bust locals and visitors.

Double death

Burnt bodies found in car The burnt bodies of an elderly couple were found in a van near the Montaña Talavera, beside Llano del Moro in Santa Cruz on January 17th. The couple, from El Sauzal, were aged 74 and 70, and had been undergoing psychiatric treatment according to reports. Police are not speculating as to the actual cause and manner of their death until the autopsies have been completed, and for the present are not seeking anyone else in connection with the tragedy.

The discovery was made shortly alter 1pm by a neighbour who called the emergency services when he saw smoke in the area. When members of the fire services arrived they discovered a Renault Kangoo on fire with the couple inside, sitting in the driver and passenger seats.

The couple are believed to have a son.

Desecration attracts TV interest

The possibility that the desecration of graves at Arico cemetery a few weeks ago was the work of a satanic group has led the macabre incident to be featured on a popular TV programme.

As reported here, five graves were found to have been opened at the cemetery and their contents removed. The macabre find was made by an elderly lady from the town when she went to place flowers at the grave of a relative on 1 January. The discovery and subsequent police statements that the activities of satanic groups were being monitored closely to see if there was a connection prompted interest from a programme on the Cuatro channel, which deals with the occult sordid crimes and conspiracy theories. The programme, Cuarto Milenio, sent a film crew to the cemetery to prepare a feature on previous grave desecrations known to have taken place in Tenerife and possible links with strange sects.

Bus drivers

Carnaval safety assurances sought

Bus drivers in Santa Cruz have threatened not to work all-night shifts during the busiest nights of Carnaval in early March unless security is stepped up at the city bus station and on vehicles.

The drivers issued the warning soon after the TITSA company announced details of its special services to ferry Carnaval revellers to and from the capital throughout the night.

“Security has been ordered for the tram during the Carnaval period but not for the buses, even though drivers are at greater risk of assault than their tram counterparts” said a union representative.

The drivers want a permanent police presence in the stations in Santa Cruz, La Laguna, Playa de Las Américas and Puerto de la Cruz to deter troublemakers from boarding. The Tenerife Cabildo has refuted the drivers’ claims that buses have suffered various attacks in recent years.

The fact that 69-year-old Domingo Pérez suffers major disabilities and can barely communicate through speech was of particular concern to the authorities as search teams were mobilised throughout the La Laguna area. Domingo was eventually located at a secluded spot not far from the Alcampo shopping centre on the outskirts of the city. Police say he was exhausted and dehydrated but otherwise in reasonable health, despite his total disorientation and several cuts and bruises to his face.

He was taken to hospital for treatment and kept in for observation.

An Argentinian doctor who practised as a gynaecologist without the required qualifications and used his position to abuse his female patients has been jailed for 24 years by Tenerife’s Criminal Court after one of the most high-profile trials in recent years.

Reinaldo Risso was convicted on multiple counts of sexual assault of patients at his different private practices on the island over a period of many years.

Although rumours of malpractice had circulated for many years, the case was only brought after a lodger at his home came across a DVD containing explicit images of the defendant penetrating patients under the pretext that he was stimulating them with a new therapeutic device.

The DVD was brought to the attention of the authorities and Risso’s arrest in 2007 prompted dozens of women to come forward to recount their unpleasant experiences in his surgery.

Court sources say that the seizure of other recordings showed that more than one thousand different patients had been filmed secretly. Risso’s lawyer said the sentence, which was made public in mid-January, would be appealed on the grounds that the patients agreed to the sex acts.

EDITION 635 :: 28/01/2011 - 10/02/2011 :: ISLAND CONNECTIONS

I

n the run up to the elections on May 22nd we will be carrying a series of interviews on the parties who will be contesting for your vote in the local boroughs.

In the first of these interviews we spoke to Cristina Tavío Ascanio of the Partido Popular or conservative party.

When Cristina took over the PP presidency in Tenerife nine years ago, the party was not present in every borough, now after some intense work, but they have working teams in every borough on the island. This she sees as a grand opportunity as they now have teams and programmes to do things differently. “They won’t set out to ruin the town halls as has happened at national level with the socialist government, wasting money, going into debt and having a fiesta with public funds. They will improve administration and save money for the residents, just as José María Aznar did when he governed Spain. Money is best in the citizens’ pockets and not paying the administration through taxes.”

In Tenerife they have been running courses for their councillors over the last 18 months, “so that they will be great mayors in the future. Mayors who will save money not spend it.

Over the last ten years there has been abundance and the politicians have only known how to spend money and now they only know how to borrow it. They’ve said yes to everything and they have to learn to say no and prioritise.”

In the run up to the elections, “we have to explain to the public that there is another way to do things and recover the public’s confidence, not mislead people or promise them things that we will not deliver. People don’t want Pharaonic constructions. The people who live here, foreigner or Spanish, want the same, easy public administrations where can move and which they can understand.

Administrations that make the public’s life easier not more complicated, more accessible with fewer full time councillors which means fewer wages. It’s true that a councillor who knows how to go to the Cabildo, the Canarian Government, Madrid or Europe to get funds is worth his or her weight in gold, but nowadays they are few on the ground and we need to get more. We need to multiply each euro that each council gets to invest in economic programmes to create more jobs. The only social politics that I believe in is employment.

People don’t want alms, they want to be free, have an income and support themselves. We cannot continue to deceive people saying that we will give them everything, books etc.

What we have to do is lower taxes, so that people will have more money and can buy what they want.”

Cristina sees health and education as a priority for the islands and this has been reflected in public meetings with residents of all nationalities.

Improved translation services in

May elections

Canarian voting system challenged The run-up to the May elections has begun in earnest with the news that the voting system used in the Canaries looks set to be examined by the EU after a formal complaint by the region’s Green Party.

Partido Popular

True blue health centres in at least the major languages, the northern and southern hospital complexes are, “urgent” in her opinion, “until the crisis is over, everything else has to be looked at very carefully”. And of course tourism, as that is the economic motor for the islands, “the best way of looking after our tourism is through training of our professionals and the bilingualism and trilingualism of the population. I have always said, and I hope to achieve it one day, that the only thing that justifies the Canaries having two TV channels, is that the second is to generate a second mother language, which by common sense should be English. As a tourism destination we should all be able to speak to our visitors in at least one foreign language. It’s the future.”

To pay for improvements in these areas, Cristina wants to see public funds administrated better. “When I was a child in Arona, the fiestas were paid for by door to door collections and run by volunteers.” The people gathered in the town square to eat simple dishes prepared by the neighbours, it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Money should go to generate employment, not pay unemployment benefit,” or spend millions on fiestas.

The party runs a series of meetings with the foreign residents all over the island to find out their priorities and a special team deals with European

and International questions.

As far as foreign representatives are concerned, Stephen Gerald will be standing for them in Santiago del Teide and they have other foreign members in their teams. She hopes and believes that some of them will also be standing as councillors, “they have experience of how things work in other countries and can bring in some good ideas.”

Inevitably there will be pacts in local councils, “I believe pacts should be kept to,” people need to know that the governing group would not be left weakened if the pact is broken. Cristina admitted that on occasions and in all parties, party needs have been put before those of the public in the past, but believes that now, with the crises, that there will be more consensus and positive opposition, rather than just criticising for criticism’s sake.

With the loss of the foreign vote following recent electoral rule changes Cristina would expect that there will be several important changes. Would this mean that the foreign vote gains in importance for the Spanish parties? “As President, for me it has always been important, and as a party we have seen that we are supported by the foreign community and in fact we were the only party to arrange a meeting ahead of the British elections. Those who

By Sheila Collis

have lived here for a long time have a lot to contribute and are becoming increasingly involved which is a good thing.”

In general, “the fiesta with public funds in Tenerife has got to stop. I read Margaret Thatcher more and more.

Intervention only creates poverty and submission. You can’t solve poverty with payments and feeding people, only creating jobs.

“We are importing 12 million tourists, but we are also importing what we eat. Wherever you go there are fewer hectares of land under cultivation. We cannot continue to import all the food for ourselves and our visitors. Canarians cannot continue to say that Canarian wine is expensive, we just can’t, because we are doing a lot of harm to our economy. One square metre of vineyard is maintained by the sale of one bottle of Canarian wine. This has to be explained to people.”

It’s not going to be easy but we are going to try and make sure that there is something else in the island.”

Party spokesman Rafael Rodríguez has persuaded the Greens in the European Parliament to take up the issue of the weighting given to votes from the smaller islands under the current electoral law and the matter has already been raised in the shape of a formal question to the European Commission.

According to the Greens, the weighting of votes means effectively that a small fraction of the population of the Canaries elects half of the 60 MPs in the regional Parliament. “17 per cent of the population choose 50 per cent of the Parliament, and 83 per cent choose the other half.

By way of example, one vote in El Hierro is equivalent to 14 votes in Gran Canaria and that situation cannot be right.

It breaches international human rights and we want it reviewed” said Rodríguez.

The Greens have asked the Commission to investigate whether the electoral system is “fair and equal for all” and, if not, what measures it intends to impose to remedy the problem. Results from the 2007 regional elections show that the Greens obtained ten times more votes than the AHI island party in El Hierro but failed to win a seat in Parliament, unlike the latter which has two seats despite earning only 0.27 per cent of the overall vote.

The allocation of seats in the regional party may be investigated

Vivienne Noyes-Thomas / Christel House

harity these days is big business, so who better than a world class businesswoman to establish an educational movement designed to break the cycle of poverty for thousands of children.

That is Christel House.

Christel DeHaan became the sole owner, president and chief executive of RCI (Resort Condominiums International) in 1989. She sold the company in 1996 for $825 million. A tidy sum, one to retire gracefully on.

But rather than sit back after decades in the business world, this power house of a woman (German born, but living in the USA for over 45 years) felt that she needed to do something with her time and money, and it was on a trip to Mexico City that she found her new calling.

One of her RCI colleagues told her there was a nun caring for a bunch of orphans so she visited. But rather than throw money at the problem she applied her ethos and skills to the issue. Taking as her tenet the words of the 12th century philosopher, Maimonides, “give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”, she realised she needed to do more than donate. She wanted instead to transform lives, give hope, break the cycle of poverty.

Christel House was born.

Teaching students to fish The first international school was opened in 1998 and by 2002 five schools and learning centres had been opened, in Mexico, Venezuela, South Africa, India and the USA. The schools take in those children on the margins of society, those who come from families in the depths of poverty, and teach them life skills as well as guiding them through a recognised academic programme, with nationally and internationally recognised qualifications at the end of their schooling. The schools are day centres, where children receive two meals a day (they are very often from families who cannot afford to feed their children adequately), and children also learn character building, health and citizenship awareness, as well as being introduced to the worlds of sports and the arts. Already past pupils are achievers in a huge variety of fields.

What makes this charity very different from almost all

she was justifiably proud of the academic standards being achieved – in South Africa for instance, the year doing the standard Matric final year exams achieved a 100 per cent pass rate – the national average is only 64 per cent, and she was also delighted that Christel House had recently been approached by the Indian Government to operate a new school in Lavasa, a tribute to the school they operate there in Bangalore.

So if the schools are fully funded, why do they need donations? For uniforms, transport, meals, the outreach programmes they run (health, community education in Aids/ HIV prevention, birth control,

(left)The children come from a life of abject poverty (right) Children who are lucky enough to attend Christel House receive a rounded education

others is the nature of the funding. Christel House is run like a business, with financial transparency, operational accountability and management discipline. Every cent donated to the charity goes towards the children. How is that possible?

Because Christel DeHaan has personally financed the schools, and created an endowment that guarantees that the organisation’s overheads and

management costs are met in perpetuity after her death.

Despite the fact that Christel sold RCI she continues to have a lot of contact with the time share industry, and the Christel House European co-ordinator, another very dynamic woman, Vivienne Noyes-Thomas, was in Tenerife recently for a ‘thank you dinner’ for the many donors to the charity here, as well as introducing some new members

to the family. The dinner was in La Estancia, ‘donated’ by Ward Woods of the Regency Club, and present were people from EXCEL Hotels and Resorts, Nexus Leisure Resorts (Club Tenerife, Club Tarahal and Las Adelfas in Lanzarote), Club Olympus, Tropical Park and Club Altamira.

Vivienne told Island Connections that thousands of children have already benefited, and

etc). For instance a €1,000 donation can pay for 1,900 breakfasts, social services for 90 children for a year, health care for 60 children for a year, or books, paper, pencils, etc for two classrooms for a year.

Playa San Juan

Health centre to open in February T

he regional minister for health, Fernando Bañolas Bolaños told the regional parliament that the completed health centre in Playa San Juan will finally open its doors to the public in Februar y.

As reported on the front page of our previous issue, Guía de Isora mayor Pedro Martín has spearheaded a campaign to force the regional government and department of health to action after a delay of over four years.

In response to a question in parliament the minister for health has now stated that this health centre, along with the completion of work on the northern and southern public

hospitals are of utmost priority.

He also defended the government’s record on spending on private health care, saying that it only accounted for seven per

cent of the health budget as opposed to many other regional areas, some under the control of the socialist PSOE, who have spent up to 50 per cent of their

The date for termination was supposed to be June 2006 budget on private care. Guía mayor Martín welcomed the announcement regarding the Playa San Juan centre, saying that “at last we have a date for the opening, or at least a named month, February”. He said that “for too much time we have been given vague updates that the centre would open, but no confirmation of when, nor explanations as to the motives behind the delays”. He added that he was glad to see the pressure put on the regional government by the council and residents appeared to have paid off.

The council handed over 600 m2 of land to the regional government in 2002 for the new centre in a residential zone in the town. Work began in December 2004 with June 2006 given as the completion date. Two years later, in 2008, the then minister for health, Mercedes Roldós said the opening was ‘imminent’, and the last date given, prior to this announcement, was December 2010.

No show in rape case A British woman who has accused a number of policemen of raping her while she was in custody in the Las Américas police station failed to appear in court.

The 30 year old was arrested in the early hours of the morning of June 8th 2006 and brought to a cell, where subsequently she claims she was raped by a number of police. The prosecution are seeking a 12 year sentence for two of the policemen in question as well as sentences for the officer in charge of cells on the day in question and the inspector in charge of rosters that day for failing to follow up the accusations.

There is physical evidence indicating that sexual activity did take place with the victim, however forensic evidence shows no signs of a struggle,

and the accused have said sex was consensual. The court has adjourned the case for a month to allow more time for the woman in question to be found and attend the trial.

Baby trafficking

‘Isolated case’ Media reports that an organised gang of baby traffickers had been operating in Tenerife have been denied by the authorities following the appearance in court of several people arrested in connection with the attempted sale of one infant.

The authorities took the unusual step of issuing a rectification of previous news and stressed that the incident was ‘an isolated case’. “From the inquiries conducted there is no evidence to suggest that the attempted purchase of the newborn baby was arranged by an organised network” said the statement issued by the court in La Laguna dealing with the case

ntering the Operación Triunfo academy was no easy feat for 17year-old ‘Chicharrero’ Charlie Karlsen (he was born in Santa Cruz, although his parents are English), according to his mother Valerie.

The auditions began last summer, and dragged on into early Januar y this year. In that time, Charlie has been to Gran Canaria, Madrid, and five times to Barcelona in his quest to fulfil his dream, competing against 7,000 other hopefuls.

Finally, the shortlist was narrowed down to 28 youngsters who were moved into a hotel to be given a crash choreography, group and solo singing course, and were each given all types of music to perform in preparation for yet another audition. Luckily, Charlie’s musical capabilities are ample, his first language is Spanish and his English is good too, so he can easily handle both English and Spanish songs.

Valerie was with Charlie throughout the final stage, an emotional rollercoaster for both of them. By this time, she told

They were all crying on my shoulder”. She told us, “Charlie flew through all the auditions, but it was hard”. She added, “I felt that maybe he should have left all this for another 12 months”.

However Charlie was one of the final 18 contestants who survived the final audition and performed in the televised Gala 0 on Sunday January 16th, and although he was nominated by the jur y, the director of the academy, Nina, saved him from expulsion, saying that he deserved to be there.

psychological lessons on subjects including how to overcome stage fright, as well as getting used to his new temporary life in the academy and probably not sleeping too well.

For Gala 1, he and two others were given a song to perform which was published long before he was born and which he did not know at all. The worst was yet to come, before he even went on stage, he was told that he was nominated to leave the academy for lack of concentration during the week. Luckily, he seems to have built up quite a following, and by the end of

the gala sufficient phone and sms votes from the TV audience had been received in his favour for him to stay.

The audience could be forgiven for thinking that the Operación Triunfo team are doing their utmost to push him (emotionally) to the limit. Maybe that is because he is a good looking guy, highly talented and marketable, and just maybe they want to see if he would be able

to handle the ups and downs of a musical career. We are sure that he can. Whatever happens, and however long Charlie stays in the academy, we know that he has an extremely bright future ahead of him.

Historic lows

Are banks facing more tough times in 2011?

By Bill Blevins, Financial Correspondent, Blevins Franks

European banks The European Central Bank’s December Financial Stability Review advised that Eurozone banks remain vulnerable to both the effects of the Eurozone debt crisis and a slowdown in the economy.

There is “a potential for further adverse feedback effects between public finances and the financial sector”, the report said.

Banks remain reluctant to lend to each other. While the larger European banks are more profitable than six month. ago, earnings are still at low levels and profits will not return to their pre-crisis levels.

Chief economist of Citigroup bank and former member of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee, Willem Buiter, also warned that the “game of chicken” being played out between the ECB and Eurozone governments could

have serious consequences for Europe’s banks and that “we could have several sovereign states and banks going under…

This is a combined sovereign and banking crisis and that is a poisonous cocktail”.

British banks The BoE’s December Financial Stability Repor t calculated that the UK’s four largest banks are facing losses on consumer debts of £100 billion if write off rates return to their precrisis average, plus £150 billion if losses on bad debts reach levels seen in the early 1990s recession.

It warns that the Eurozone crisis could have a huge impact on British banks, which have £210 billion exposed to Spanish and Irish debt, about 75 per cent of total capital. Lloyds Bank has already effectively written-off over half its outstanding loans to Irish borrowers.

If any banks do get into trouble it is fair to assume the BoE will support them. Nonetheless, it does raise their risk level for investors and depositors – and

at a time when depositors are not being rewarded for the risk as interest rates remain low.

Deposit protection You should always establish what level of protection your savings and investments have should an institution fail.

From 1st January this year, new rules in the European Economic Area ensure that all the national compensation schemes provide bank deposit protection of up to €100,000.

The UK’s Financial Services Compensation Scheme has increased its limit from £50,000 to £85,000, per person per banking group.

UK offshore centres are not part of the EEA or covered by the UK scheme, and have their own schemes. Maximum compensation in the Isle of Man is £50,000 of net deposits per individual. Guernsey and Jersey also offer compensation of up to £50,000.

Today many savers with larger cash deposits have spread them out over more than one bank. Others have opted to

move capital into arrangements which provide a higher level of investor protection than banks can offer. For example Luxembourg offers one of the best investor protection regimes in Europe - its state controlled protection law is designed to provide maximum security to investors without limit. If you

have an investment bond issued by a Luxembourg regulated insurance company, your investment assets are completely protected should the insurance company fail.

For advice on asset protection and reassurance that your money is protected as much as possible, consult a professional

advisory firm such as Blevins Franks. *To keep in touch with the latest developments in the offshore world, check out the latest news on our website: www.blevinsfranks.com

National and international filming brought Tenerife €3.5 million during 2010.

As we go to print, Ángel Loza, last year’s Goya prize winner for the best short documentary is filming his latest project in Tenerife. An appropriate time for Tenerife Tourism (responsible to the Cabildo) to announce that via their Tenerife Film Commission department a total of 89 productions were made in 2010. The councillor for tourism was delighted with the results which represent an increase of 15 per cent over the 2009 figures.

The pleasure is twofold, one that the island is chosen for the filming in the first place as it this in itself brings in valuable cash, but also that when the films are screened they act as free publicity of the beauty and variety of Tenerife. Amongst the outstanding productions were announcements for Toyota Auris, Ducati, National Geographic – Samsung,

companies over the last year. You can vote for your worst company nightmare at FACUA.org/ lapeorempresa. The list of those nominated, five in each category will be made public in February and from that point on consumers can vote for their choice on the same website.

Final results will be announced on World Consumer Rights day, March 15th.

Last year’s worst company was Movistar, which competed in the last five with Vodafone, Orange, Air Comet and Ryanair.

Thomson and Nestea, full length films Eva by Kiko Maíllo, Seis puntos sobre Emma by Roberto Pérez Toledo and La Guía del silencio by Cándido Pérez Armas. Other companies such as Ford, Nissan and the UK Post Office used Tenerife backdrops for their corporation videos and photographic productions.

The Tenerife Film Commission has helped along 705 different projects since it started 11 years ago. Of these German, Spanish and British ventures were the most numerous at 161, 156 and 97

Siam park

VIP treatment W

hether you are combining business with pleasure, have a young family, are celebrating something special or just want a really romantic or unique day out, Siam Park can now offer you something extraordinary.

The concept is simple. Set in the hillside behind the vast wave pool and pure white sands of the Siam beach in among the exotic foliage of the park’s splendid gardens are three wooden cabañas (cabins). Each is set at a different height and angle so as not to block the sun for the others and equipped with cane cushioned sofas and chairs, towels, sun beds and a sun umbrella, it’s own shower, television, wifi connection, a ceiling fan, safe, and a minibar stacked with wine, beer, water and soft drinks.

This is the VIP area of Siam Park, the entry of which is carefully controlled by the lifeguards on duty at the Wave Palace, but it is an affordable luxury and well worth the money if you want to make your day really special.

The Cabaña closest to the entrance is called Phuket, the middle one Chang Mai and

the highest one is Rataburi.

Each is for hire on a daily basis for just €400 for up to four people. For that you get entry into the park, fast pass no queue status (more of that later), unlimited food in any of the bars or restaurants around the park all day and unlimited beer, wine, and soft drinks in the cabaña from the mini bar or from any of the on-site establishments and at a reasonable extra charge you can order champagne to celebrate in style.

On the day, you will be met at the entrance to the park and brought forward. Your no queuing privileges start here. Each of the cabaña’s guests is given a bracelet which identifies them as a privileged member of the park for the day and for groups of more than four, up to two friends can join you in your private space for €75 each and enjoy the same privileges.

If you want to take a little time out for the family, but can’t disconnect totally, this is the place for you. Watch the kids enjoy the wave pool from the balcony, enjoy the spectacular views, but keep in touch with the cabaña wifi.

For the romantics amongst you, it’s a little get-awayfrom-it-all paradise within

DISCOVER SIMPLE SAVINGS FROM THE BANK YOU KNOW.

Europe’s top water theme park, a chance for private moments in a tropical setting.

You can book your cabaña online (full payment) or by telephone, email or at the ticket desk. You will need to leave a reservation fee of at least €50, the balance payable on the day. See the Siam Park web page for more details at www.siampark.net/.

 Fast

pass

Fast pass all inclusive tickets for non-cabaña users are also available at €75 and include entry into the park and the same food and drink privileges and the VIP cabañas but without that extra luxury.

Dr. De La Flor

healthytenerife@gmail.com

Coaching Corner ::

Dear Dr. De La Flor Dear Dr. De La Flor I’ve been using over-thecounter medication for my haemorrhoids for a while, but lately I’ve noticed some of blood? Do I need something stronger?

Sincerely, Bill

Dear Bill, Haemorrhoids are swollen veins in the anal canal.

External haemorrhoids more commonly cause symptoms of pain and itching when irritated.

I n t e r n a l h a e m o r r hoids generally are painless but can cause bleeding. They can cause bright red rectal bleeding, but if you have bleeding, don’t assume they are haemorrhoids. Colorectal cancer can also cause rectal bleeding, so you need to see your doctor to rule out cancer or other serious causes of rectal bleeding.

The most common symptoms of both internal and external haemorrhoids include: bleeding during bowel movements. You might see streaks of bright red blood on toilet paper after you strain to have a bowel movement. Also very common is itching and rectal pain. It may be painful to clean the anal area.

With internal haemorrhoids, you may not only see bright red streaks of blood on toilet paper but also bright red blood in the toilet bowl after you have a normal bowel movement. You may see blood on the surface of the stool as well.

Inter nal haemor rhoids often are small, swollen veins in the wall of the anal canal.

But they can be large, sagging veins that bulge out of the anus all the time. They can be painful if they bulge out and are squeezed by the anal muscles. They may be very painful if the blood supply to the hemorrhoid is cut off. If haemorrhoids bulge out, you also may see mucus on the toilet paper or stool. External haemorrhoids can bleed, and then the blood pools, causing a hard painful lump. This is called a thrombosed, or clotted hemorrhoid.

Since rectal bleeding can be a sign of a more serious problem, such as colon, rectal, or anal cancer you should see you doctor. If the initial visual exam does not indicate a clear cause of your problems, your doctor may use a lighted scope (sigmoidoscope) to look at the lower third of your colon. Or your doctor may use another kind of scope (colonoscope) to look at the entire colon to check for other causes of bleeding.

Remember that healthy habits can help you prevent haemorrhoids or keep them from getting worse. Eat foods that are rich in fibre, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Also, drink plenty of water, and get plenty of exercise… other wise haemorrhoids can truly be a pain in the rear!

Dear Dr. De La Flor I was recently diagnosed with lactose intolerance

There are certain products you will have to avoid if you have lactose intolerance

False Make it drugs organia great ThesationDoctors’ in Malaga has warned that the majority day of drugs on sale in Internet are false.

I was once told - Make it a great day! That simple but poignant greeting struck my mind and it still does!

The difference between wishing someone “Have a great day” and “Make it a great day” isn’t just a single word. The bridge separating both is called attitude and attitude single-handedly can aid us in transforming our day.

Daring to be extraordinary isn’t eutopia; being extraordinary is putting a good fight in performing ordinary tasks in a extraordinary way; a smile, a gentle look, an apology, a compliment can transform our day and help other be greater than us.

Resolution:

but received no advice and I am preoccupied since I have a family histor y of osteoporosis.

Sincerely, Esther

Dear Esther,

Esther, there are ways to manage lactose intolerance while reaping the nutritional benefits of dairy products.

Your condition, lactose intolerance, results from an inability to digest the natural sugar (lactose) found in milk and milk products.

As you know, it causes quite un-lady like symptoms such as bloating, diarrhoea, gas, and cramping among others.

(Not great for your social life!) Lactose is the natural sugar found in milk and dairy products.

You can control lactose intolerance symptoms by making changes in your diet. You may find that you do not have to eliminate dairy products entirely. For example, you may discover that some cheeses, like Swiss or cheddar, don’t bother you, while other ones cause symptoms. Or you may be able to have one yogurt but not more. Other strategies include: lactose-free milk and other dairy products; soya or rice milk and eating soya cheese; eating a solid food with a dairy product; taking a lactase enzyme when you eat dairy.

Don’t get discouraged but there are many foods that you might have to avoid or be careful with: yogurt, cheese, cream cheese, cottage cheese, ice cream. Lactose may also be found in foods you don’t expect: calciumfortified breads; cereals and baked goods; powdered meal replacements; instant potatoes, soups; pancake, biscuit, cookie mixes; margarine; salad dressings; whipped toppings and creamers.

The best way to avoid symptoms if you are lactose intolerant is by reading food labels and having some patience during the first weeks after the diagnosis.

Even some medications contain lactose.

A number of non-dair y foods can help you get enough calcium in your diet. They include: dark, leafy greens and vegetables like broccoli;

Warning

I invite you to remind yourself many times throughout the day, that you can “make” your day a “great” one by a simple (but challenging) attitudinal change. It’s the little details that are vital and life-changing. Little things make big things happen.

Talk to you in a couple weeks.

salmon and tuna; beans and legumes; calcium-fortified orange juice. You may also be able to eat yogurt with active cultures. If you avoid milk because of lactose intolerance, you’ll also need to make sure you get enough vitamin D. Vitamin D works with calcium to keep bones strong, and milk is a major source of vitamin D. Ask your GP if you need a calcium and vitamin D supplement. Best wishes!

Dr. De La Flor, licensed G.P. Holds certificates in coaching, nutrition and medical exercise from Berkeley University and the American Council on Exercise. His medical approach is highly influenced by Positive Psychology; an empowering, encompassing way of approaching patients through the study of their strengths and virtues to enable them to thrive and lead fulfilling lives, accept the past, find happiness in the present, and hope for the future.

Their scientific assessment committee has published a document, Medicine by Internet, Fraud, advantage or new paradigm which was researched with the cooperation of pharmaceutical specialists.

Their report reveals that between 50 and 90 per cent of the drugs that are sold over the Internet are false.

According to the report, in the majority of the cases the medicines that are sold in this way, “don’t have any active properties, or what’s worse, contain toxic substances,” and that during the investigation they discovered some false medicines, “in which we have discovered brick dust”.

The majority of the medicines ordered are for genital/ urinary conditions, but there is an increasing number which are connected to food and nutrition. Doctors and pharmacists also warn that as the online services have no idea of your previous health history, and in many cases do not ask, you could be buying yourself health time bombs.

Questionnaire

Health poll

survey among health service users carried A out by the Canarian health service has found that 70 per cent of the users rate the primary health care as good or very good.

Within the islands La Palma are happiest with their service, 78.2 per cent of those asked reported favourably, in lanzarote, 74.8 per cent, Gran Canaria 71.5 per cent, la Gomera 71.4 per cent, El Hierro 71 per cent, Tenerife 68.2 per cent and Fuerteventura 53 per cent. Apparently those who live in towns of less that 10,000 inhabitants are best pleased with their service, 75.5 per cent of them, with larger towns of 50,000 to 100,000 neighbours registering satisfaction levels of 73.9 per cent. Medium sized towns of between 10,000 and 50,000 are 70.2 per cent contented and in those cities of over 100,000 dwellers the level goes down to 66.5 per cent.

Health News

The regional department of health have launched a new information campaign targeting 14 year old plus girls to encourage them to avail themselves of the human papillon virus (HPV) vaccine available free through the network of Canarian health centres.

HPV

Networking for health

T

he campaign takes the form of 5,000 posters and 5,000 leaflets which will be distributed through schools and health centres, but also will see information and chat via Facebook, Tuenti (the huge Spanish social network) and Youtube, and girls will be able to find out information and ask questions as, of course, will their parents.

T

he HPV vaccine works to prevent infection which leads to uterine cancer, the second most common cancer in young women, and medical tests have proved that the best time to administer the vaccine is in the pre-adolescent years.

The vaccine is now on the list of recommended and freely available vaccines via the Spanish health service. The campaign will suggest to girls that they are vaccinated and asks them to phone 012 to make the appointment with a doctor. Those teenagers who are not yet part of the medical system or don’t have a medical card can go to

Motivation

The campaign hopes to encourage girls to get the vaccination

their nearest medical centre and request the vaccination (given over three stages), as long as they have a copy of their DNI or ‘residencia’, proving their age.

T

he HPV vaccine can, it has been shown, prevent up to 70 per cent of cervical cancers. HPV infection, cannot be treated though pre-cancerous lesions can be surgically removed, so early detection is essential. Therefore, regardless of whether a woman has been vaccinated or not, regular smear tests are highly recommended

once a woman is sexually active.

There are over 120 different human papillon viruses, although only 15 are considered to be high risk, and statistics show that up to 50 per cent of the sexually active population have been infected at some stage in their lives, even though they may have been unaware of the fact. Doctors also stress that the vaccine will not prevent the transmission of other sexual diseases such as Aids, syphilis, genital herpes, etc, so safe sex practises should always

Dr. Jorge Prieto

New family doctor in town

Many patients in Puerto de la Cruz are delighted to have a new English speaking doctor in Dr Jorge Prieto.

Originally from Cuba, but after 14 years of experience in the USA, he has settled in Tenerife with a consultancy right on the Plaza del Charco.

Dr Prieto is a GP and family doctor, with both residents and holidaymakers among his patients. Whenever his help is needed he is on call, including in private homes and hotels, 24 hours a day. Among his

living lifestyle

professional equipment he has a mobile ultrasound machine to facilitate the correct diagnosis.

“My wife had a kidney stone. Once at night she was in so much pain, that we decided to ring Dr Prieto.

Luckily a colleague had given us his number. We are so thankful, because he really saved my wife’s life.

“Following an ultrasound examination he decided we had to go to hospital. We first went to a public hospital but the treatment was inadequate. Dr Prieto himself carried her into the emergency room of the Ramblas Hospital in Santa Cruz. There, at last my wife was professionally treated and helped. Without Dr Prieto’s personal attention and his deep desire to help, my beloved wife would now be dead. I can warmly recommend him to anyone.

Both his professional as well as his personal attention to his patients reflect the level of his experience as a doctor and one who genuinely cares and wants to help”, says Carlos, who lives in La Matanza.

Dr Prieto can be reached at any time day or night on 669 603 979 and the same number can be used to make a regular surgery appointment.

S

hary started her diet one week ago. Her New Year’s resolution was to finally lose those extra kilos she gained when she was pregnant with her son.

She changed her nutrition, went to the gym four times last week and did a good workout.

She read a lot about diets and sport on the internet, even bought a book of recipes and was very strict with herself.

When she finally stepped on the scales she was looking forward to seeing the result of all that hard work. But the scales just showed half a kilo less. How did that happen?

Shary is very unhappy as she hoped to lose two or three kilos week as promised by her diet programme. She takes the chocolate bar out of the cupboard which she was saving as a ‘cheat meal’ for next week and is close to giving up.

7,000 kcal. To lose that kilo you would need to burn 1,000 kcal more on a daily basis. That is almost impossible. 500 kcal is a better goal and will see you lose 500 grammes per week. If you think half a kilo is nothing, then take two packs of butter. That is the amount of fat you can lose easily. Always say to yourself that you didn’t put on those extra kilos in a just a week so how can you hope to lose it that quickly?

 The mirror is your friend Do not watch the scales too closely. One of the biggest de-motivators are the scales. Even if you lost just a kilo in two weeks have a look in the mirror or use a tape measure. That will show you what has really changed. The scales might not be your friend, but your mirror is.

Use it.

 Lose two packs of butter a week

 Motivation comes from success

This and similar experiences see so many people giving up their diet. But your body needs time. Your metabolism has to change and adapt to the new situation. Your body doesn’t care about looking good. It wants to survive. If it does not get enough energy it changes to stand-by mode and brings its metabolic rate down a bit. Usually you can calculate that your diet will really start working after 12 to 14 days. You also need to take into consideration that one kilo of body fat has

The longer you stick to your new lifestyle the more you will change. That’s guaranteed!

The better you look the more motivated you are. It is a great feeling to get closer to your goal. Give yourself the chance to change. You will love your body!

Until next time, keep motivated.

In the case that one of our Canarian entrants is nominated for expulsion, we can vote for them by telephone or SMS, and the appropriate numbers and instructions will also be available on our website. Good luck to all our contestants!

From the 7,000 hopefuls who attended the initial auditions, the number was finally narrowed down to 16, five from these islands. Four of these are: Charlie Karlsen, Adeje Raquel San Nicolás (Nicco), La Matanza Sara Begoña Pérez (Sira), Güímar Moneiba Hidalgo, Santa Brígida, Gran Canaria Additionally, we have seen the return to the academy of a contestant from the first edition of Operación Triunfo (2001-2002) who was the first to be expelled, Geno Machado from Gran Canaria. Charlie, whose parents are British, is the youngest of the group, at 17 years, and as reported previously, has already won several local and international contests.

In previous years, there have also been plenty of entrants from the Canary Islands who have either reached good positions or in one case, won the contest:

Abama gallery Alejandro Tosco

enerife artist Alejandro Tosco has an exhibition running in the Abama Golf & Spa Resort gallery until February 13th, and it’s well worth a visit.

Tosco is considered one of the island’s leading fine artists. Born in Tenerife in 1975 he was, from infancy, surrounded by a family that was well versed in the arts, and is related to Álvaro Fariña and Óscar Domínguez, the latter rightly considered one of the founders of the world-wide surrealist movement.

Tosco didn’t hold his first individual show until 2003 but has quickly achieved a national and international acclaim, and has displayed works in New York, Tokyo, Cuba and Paris as well as extensively in Spain. And what is obvious to many is that his Canarian roots are evident in many of his paintings, the colours and textures reflecting his island of birth.

You can see his exhibition at the Abama Golf & Spa Resort daily from 8am to 11pm.

Puppies dumped in bottle bin Police in Arona are hunting the person who cruelly dumped five new-born pups in a bottle bin and left them to die.

The El Día paper reports that the pups’ crying was heard by a police patrol during the night and the local fire brigade was mobilised to extract them from the bottom of the bin.

The pups were eventually rescued after an operation lasting almost two hours, although one died in the process.

Police said the tiny dogs had suffered horribly among the broken glass in the bin and described the person responsible as a “heartless individual”.

as Canteras beach and its surroundings continues to be a space where dogs are prohibited, but according to the Las Palmas councillor for parks and gardens, cleaning, environmental health and beaches Inmaculada Medina, they are to be allowed in pedestrian areas and some of the larger parks in Las Palmas where special enclosures with fences or railings are to be created.

With an area of some 100 square metres, as they are to be enclosed, they would be ideal places where dogs could run free. However, canines belonging to dangerous breeds must be kept on a lead at all times. The new regulations relating to coasts and beaches include a list of locations, dates and hours during which animals can be on certain beaches (not sand) and in public spaces such as footpaths, provided that various safety and hygiene meas-

councillor Felipe Afonso El Jaber explained, “the problem is that these regulations don’t establish criteria, they prohibit everything, but there are exceptions”. In his opinion, “they only allow the council to do whatever they want”.

Councillor Nardy Barrios from the Compromiso party wants the regulations withdrawn be-

cause she says, “I don’t understand how you can regulate the presence of dogs in parks without saying which parks, and that fines can be imposed without determining by which authority”. Medina however, is confident that the public exhibition of the new regulations will improve public understanding.

Boston cat has been called up for jury service. Sal, A the Esposito’s family cat received the official notification to present himself on March 23rd to be considered as a possible juror.

Sal’s human companion sent the legal authorities in Massachusetts a letter explaining that Sal cannot speak or understand the English language, together with confirmation from the veterinary clinic that Sal was a short haired domestic cat.

However, for the American legal system as it works in Boston, this was not enough as due to their rules, to be a member of the jury it isn’t necessary to have perfect control of the language.

Guy Esposito explained to the local press that although Sal liked to sit on his knees and watch crime programmes, he didn’t think that the animal was qualified to fill his obligations as a juror.

Walking the Barranco Dear Editor

I

read with a growing sense of irritation the article ‘Bar ranco Danger’ in edtion 634 regarding the alleged danger of walking the Barranco Del Infierno.

As an avid walker of many years experience, the idea of ‘closing’ the countryside doesn’t sit well with me at all and I find it very frustrating here on the island that this is often the kneejerk reaction to any incident in the mountains.

People walk in mountainous countr y for many reasons including, among others, the sense of freedom, self-reliance and escape from the mundane, over regulated world of daily life that hill/mountain walking can bring. To try and impose

EDITION 635 :: 28/01/2011 - 10/02/2011 :: ISLAND CONNECTIONS

editorial@ic-news.com

a health and safety approach on this wonderful pastime is quite frankly ludicrous as by its very nature there is a certain amount of risk involved. Rocks can fall from mountainsides at anytime, anywhere in the world. Does this mean that walking in mountains should be banned altogether? Should all of the islands’ mountains become a no-go area for walkers because of the remote possiblity that someone may get hit by a falling rock?

The Barranco Del Infierno is, for people who walk regularly in hills and mountains, a bit of a stroll. Why do people walking the barranco need a guide? It is not a particularly difficult or hard walk and it’s impossible to get lost. People negotiated the route quite happily for years without the need for guides. And what about all of the mountain paths across the island, people walk these regularly without a guide. Are all of these walkers ignorant or stupid, as suggested in your article?

By controlling access and charging an entrance fee, the authorities have inadvertently

created a problem for themselves. They now realise that should anyone be hurt when walking in it, they could well be held responsible. If they had left it alone with free access for all, as it used to be, then anyone sustaining injury on the walk would put it down to bad luck. As it is, in today’s blame culture, the authorities are now reluctant to open it up again for fear of being sued.

In my opinion, it should be reopened, the entry fee abolished and free access reinstated. That way, those walking the route could decide for themselves if they walk the route or not and the responsiblity would once again be back were it belongs, with the walker.

The fact is that experienced walkers will prepare properly for walks and weigh-up any risks and it is surely up to them to decide if they want to walk a route and not be wrapped in cotton wool by over-zealous, local authorities.

Frankly, I think there is far more danger in trying to negotiate one of the islands zebra-crossings than there

is walking the Barranco Del Infierno.

I spent the holidays in the UK with my family who were all full of cold, yet I did not. I have the flu jab every year, and for me, it works.

All my family went down with a stomach bug, but yet again, I was lucky. I suppose when your cooking is as bad as mine, you end up with a stomach lined with steel and hardly anything upsets it!

I was amused to read in the Daily Express that a man from Margate in Kent has decorated his house in his favourite colour, yellow. He calls his house the Yellow Christmas House, because he hasn’t taken his decorations down for 22 years. The only flowers in his garden are yellow.

Both the outside and the inside walls are yellow, as are all the carpets, curtains, kitchen units, bathrooms, towels, sheets and lamps etc are, yes you’ve guessed it, yellow.

He even has clothes in that colour, and bought a yellow bicycle.

I had to laugh when I thought to myself, “I hope he doesn’t get yellow fever or yellow jaundice, because the ambulance men won’t know where to find him.

The news on the flooding all over the world is still distressing and these adverse conditions are being blamed on La Niña.

I did some research on the differences between El Niño and La Niña, and the result is startling as they seem opposite to one another.

In La Niña years the easterly winds from the Americas are stronger than usual. That drives more than the normal amount of warm sea-surface water westward, in turn causing larger than normal volumes of deep, chilly water to rise to the surface and producing a ‘cold tongue’ that extends 3,000 miles [4,800 kilometers] along the Equator from Ecuador to Samoa. According to the National Geographic, dur-

ing La Niña, far less rain falls in the Gulf and southeastern states. Drought is common in the desert Southwest. Hurricanes in the tropical Atlantic encounter no westerly wind resistance and therefore are twice as likely to strike the U.S. The 1998 La Niña hurricane season was the deadliest in the past two centuries.

In the past 98 years there have been 23 El Niños and 15 La Niñas. Of the century’s ten most powerful El Niños, the four strongest have occurred since 1980. But no one knows whether this indicates a trend or is simply random. La Niña causes mostly the opposite effects of El Niño, for example, El Niño would cause a wet period in the Midwestern U.S., while La Niña would typically cause a dry period in this area. At the other side of the Pacific, La Niña can cause heavy rains, and large areas of flooding.

A new La Niña episode developed quite quickly in the eastern and central tropical Pacific in mid-2010, and will last at least until early 2011.

This La Niña, combined with record high ocean temperatures in the north-eastern Indian Ocean, has been responsible for the 2010-2011 Queensland and Pakistan floods.

We are so lucky to live in a country where we are not really affected by either of these phenomenons, yet most people are very interested in the outcomes. It all seems so far away while we are sitting pretty in the sunshine, yet many of us have relatives in those affected areas.

So I hope that all of your loved ones are safe, and until next issue, take care of yourselves, and especially of each other.

And finally, my prayer for 2010 is “Dear Lord, this year could you please grant me a big fat bank account and a slim body, and whatever you do, don’t mix these two up like you did last year! “

Tasty leftovers

J

anuary and February are traditionally belt tightening months and this is a great recipe that makes the most of leftovers.

Originally from France croquettes are made and served all over the world where they have gained popularity as a fast food and a delicacy. In Europe they are particularly popular in Spain and Holland. In restaurants they would be made to order, but in homes, they are usually the result of a thrifty housewife making the most of what she has in the fridge. The majority of the recipes centre around a béchamel sauce made with half the normal amount of liquid, left to go cold overnight and then dipped in egg and breadcrumbs and fried. Serve on their own as an appetiser, snack or starter, or with salad or vegetables and potatoes or rice as a main meal.

Ingredients Chicken and ham croquettes • 150 gr cheese grated • 100gr ham finely chopped • ½ litre milk • 80 gr flour (plus more for dusting) • 1 egg • Breadcrumbs • Salt • Olive oil

Preparation 2. Gently heat six spoonfuls of oil and add the flour gradually so that lumps don’t form.

3. Heat the milk in a separate saucepan and when it starts to boil, add gradually to the flour mix with a pinch of salt, moving continuously. When the flour is cooked (the mixture thickens) add the cheese and the ham cut into tiny pieces. Mix well.

4. Cover the mix with cling film so that it doesn’t form a crust and leave to chill, preferably overnight.

5. Form into round or small sausage shapes (cocktail sausage size) or discs, dip into flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs.

6. Fry in lots of hot oil, but not too many at a time or the oil will cool and they will break open.

7. This easy recipe can be altered in flavour by changing the strength and type of the cheese, or the type of ham. Or ring the changes by trying the following ingredients: potato, egg, Serrano ham, tuna, salted cod, mushrooms, spinach, prawns, chicken, blue cheese and caramelised apple, ham and cheese, monkfish or blue cheese and dates.

La Laguna

Food films The first international gastronomic cinema festival will take place in La Laguna between March 14th and 19th.

The final date for presentation of work to be considered in the film, short film, documentary and advertising sections is February 10th and information on the rules and regulations can be

found at www.cineescena. com. Short-listed films will be shown and judged during the six days of the festival, complemented by films of a 20th century icon, Charles Chaplin whose films were full of food moments and French gastronomy.

Running concurrently with the film showings, there are special classes for local

schoolchildren on developing their senses, a best kebab competition among the local restaurants and a competition for the public for video recipes taken on your mobile, which this year is to be for the most creative sandwich.

Films will be shown at the Teatro Leal, Paraninfo and the meeting hall of the Education faculty at La Laguna University and the various gastronomic activities will be centred around the Casa Viña Norte, IES Cabrera Pinto, UNED de Tenerife, Teatro Leal and the Hotel Nivaria.

Puerto de la Cruz

Fishy promotion The Puerto de la Cruz workshop on tourism and commerce is promoting gastronomic routes around the town using as its star product, seafood.

The Fishermen’s organisation and 33 restaurants are cooperating in the proposal which will run until the 30th of January. It is part of the Tenerife gastronomic plan for

restaurant specialists and the public to promote particular boroughs based on a typical local product. The idea is to spread the word on the vast variety of seafood available and the activities surrounding the use of the shellfish and fish brought in daily by the local fishermen.

Local restaurants taking part will each offer a ‘star’ dish as part of the promotion. Leaflets

Y

ou’ll be welcomed with a drink and the reason becomes clear when you read the menu which deserves taking time over as it’s one of the widest selections we have ever seen for a Mexican restaurant.

The El Dorado Mexican Grill is on the upper level of the CC Litoral Fañabé, about 400 yards from Torviscas Harbour behind the Hotel Guayarmina Princess.

Adobe style walls and mosaics inside reflect the menu choice and the outside terrace tables enjoy sweeping views across the bay to La Gomera (ideal for smokers and non-smokers).

We were also brought a plate of nachos and guacamole, the Mexican equivalent of the bread that is brought in Canarian restaurants – this is charged for, so if you don’t want it send it back, but we would recommend that you don’t. The nachos were crisp and fresh and the chilled guacamole was excellent, quite the best we have tried, not at all cloying, lightened with fresh grated tomato and zingy with just a touch of chilli and lemon juice.

Starters include all the favourites, tamales, tacos and nachos for example, with a range of in-house specialities and prices began at just €2.90. Slighty spicy soups and bean soups are on offer from €3.75 and salads from €4.75. Combined dishes such as the restaurant’s mole, burro ranchero and enchiladas start at €6.50 and there’s a selection of fajitas from €11.90. On the grill menu are roast pork, ribs, chicken and beef dishes from €6.50 and a choice of nine sauce options at €2.50. Fish choices include slivers of raw fish, gilt head bream, cod and giant prawns. There are also pizzas and jacket potatoes, with and

El Dorado Mexican Grill

Mexican magic without a spicy touch and a children’s menu.

The wine list included all the major national wine producing areas and Frontos from Tenerife (our choice), along with cava, champagne, sangria, champagne sangria, cider and Coronita, Salitos and Desperado Mexican beers.

For starters we chose stuffed jalapeños and Viva Zapata giant prawns. The peppers were stuffed with melted Cheddar cheese, breadcrumbed and deep fried, not too hot but nicely spicy in the mouth and highly recommended. The garnish of finely chopped salad ingredients and a little chilled guacamole took the heat off nicely between mouthfuls, so that you get the full flavour kick every bite. The prawns were

peeled except for the tips of the tails, battered and fried, there was a hint of chilli in there, but not overpowering and the sauce of pineapple and brandy was a tasty contrasting dip.

Our freshly prepared Mexican salad was crisp shredded lettuce and walnuts topped with creamy slices of warm Camember t cheese and an excellent Modena vinegar and Virgin Olive oil are on the table for guests to create their own level of dressing.

For the main course we ordered vegetarian fajitas and gilt head bream El Dorado.

The tortilla wraps came in a special container to keep them warm, and out of the sauces available to spread on them, we chose ranchero, barbecue and green tomato (our favourite

on the day). The filling was a kind of ratatouille of peppers, jalapeño peppers, courgettes, mushrooms, sweet corn, onion, carrot and tomato with a generous dash of crushed peppercorns to give it a kick. A good choice for those who don’t want something too spicy but you can up the ante if desired by choosing hotter sauces.

The fish was served split and topped with a wonderful mix of peppers, jalapeño peppers, onion and tomato and was ser ved with potatoes, sweet corn and fried frijoles (beans).

The topping did not overpower the moist flesh of the fish in the least, but accompanied it to perfection and again, is highly recommended.

Desser ts on of fer are international with prices from

€3.70 but we chose Cielito Lindo a Mexican sweet akin to a strudel. It’s a tortilla wrap filled with walnuts, sultanas and apple, deep fried, but not at all oily and served warm with cream caramel syrup and ice cream – delicious and just the right choice before our liqueur coffees. There is also a wide range of straight liqueurs and top class spirits on offer.

This is not a typical Mexican although it has ever ything that you can get elsewhere.

Flavours and spice blends are authentic and they have obviously gone to a lot of trouble to source fresh ingredients, which makes all the difference to the taste of the end product on the palate and your enjoyment of the meal.

At the time of our visit, the Fañabé access road was only open in the outward direction.

You can however access via Torviscas or from the direction of Playa del Duque and we think you’ll find your persistence will be well rewarded. Well worth a visit and if you like Mexican food, could become your regular.

S

andy Strachan and Lorraine Dunlop, best known as the ‘Scottish Lad and Lassie’ in the Admiral Insurance office in Los Cristianos near the beach front have seen a few changes in the last year.

Last February, Sandy, in partnership with Fernando Benitez purchased Admiral Insurance, a company which was set up in Tenerife and is a name which has grown over the years on the Island. As they predicted, they have proved to be an excellent combination offering their clients the benefit of their expertise in both their lines of work.

Sandy worked in the insurance industry for 15 years in the UK before moving to Tenerife in 2002 and continuing in this line of business. He holds many awards and cer-

tificates for his studies in this field, which are proudly displayed in his office. Fernando is director of the well known company Ferae Consulting, providing all business legalities including business formations, accounts, taxes and wages, plus wills, car transfers, NIEs etc, and also does community administration. Fernando stud-

ied and obtained his degree at Manchester Metropolitan and La Laguna universities. Initially, both men continued to operate from their own individual offices, but last August they moved to a vacant unit which ticked all the boxes for them, their staff and most importantly, their clients. It has always been important to Sandy

Debbie, Sandy, Lorraine, Fernando and José Luis

and Lorraine to listen to their clients, to be able to provide the best service possible. The new office in Edificio Kanal is so much easier to get to by car and parking is normally available nearby. It is also wheelchair friendly. The new premises are spacious, cool and comfort-

able, and have been tastefully decorated and furnished to welcome all their clients, new and old. Most importantly, it is still the same friendly faces behind the desks or at the other end of the phone. Fernando, Yurena and José Luis have also benefitted from this move for

similar reasons and along with the newest member of staff, Debbie, they feel they are already one big happy family working together for the benefit of all.

Whilst all the changes and the moving of both offices went fairly smoothly, Sandy and Fernando apologise to anyone who was inconvenienced during those changes, but they are confident that they can now provide a better service than ever to all their clients.

Everyone is now looking long and hard at their expenses and trying to cut costs. Whilst car insurance and house insurance are always the first things that spring to mind, Admiral can offer excellent rates for life cover and pensions too.

Advice on your current cover and best options are free, with no obligation. So if you would like a quote for insurance cover of any kind or for company accounts, taxes, wages or community administration, why not call into their new offices in Edificio Kanal, Local B, close to the language school in Los Cristianos and see their friendly and efficient staff, or call 922 753 912 for an appointment.

Questions and Answers on Spanish Estates de cotta mckenna & santafé English Lawyers and Spanish Abogados

By Jonathan Sutton Solicitor at De Cotta McKenna y Santafé

1) Is it necessary Spain for UK resifor clients who own dents who own propproperty in Spain erty there? to have a separate Spanish Will?

In Spain the inheritance tax Strictly speaking, it is possible to have one English form will to cover all your assets, moveable or immoveable throughout the world. The Spanish Civil Code permits this in Spain. However, the practicalities are somewhat different. The procedure to utilise an English form will in Spain is tortuous and can lead to delays of several months if not years.

It is far more practical for clients to have a separate Spanish will for their Spanish assets. This should be drafted by a Spanish law firm accustomed to dealing with British clients. It can be drafted in both languages. It must be signed in front of a notary. A translator (usually a representative from the law firm) must attend if the testator cannot speak good Spanish. The notary is then obliged to register the will with the central wills registry in Madrid. It is now even possible to sign a Spanish will in your home country.

Spanish law does not require the will to name executors. However it is possible (but not mandatory) to name ‘Albaceas’ whose permission must be sought when dealing with the estate, although the property does not legally vest with them. The partners of the law firm who draft the will are often named as Albaceas.

One important thing to look out for is that the Spanish will does not accidentally revoke an existing English will and vice-versa. This is why it is important to use a firm which is accustomed to dealing with British clients. Similarly, lawyers should use an appropriately worded revocation and jurisdiction clause when drafting English form wills for clients who already have a Spanish will. The cost of making a Spanish will is reasonable. Having one will save beneficiaries a significant amount of money and complications in the future.

2) What is the position in respect of inheritance tax in

payable is charged to the beneficiary individually rather than to the estate. This means that each beneficiary has their own tax free allowance which depends upon their relationship to the deceased and their residential status. Also the tax is charged on a sliding scale basis, starting at 7.65 per cent (for the first €7993.46 after the tax free allowance) up to 34 per cent (for anything over €797,555.08). The consequence of this is that it is tax efficient to have as many beneficiaries as possible, particularly if they are related through blood or marriage. A parent, spouse or child (over 21) receives a tax free allowance of just under €16,000, younger children receive more, grandparents and grandchildren receive an allowance of just under €8,000. There is an uplift of tax if the beneficiary has pre-existing personal wealth in Spain of over

€402,678.11. There is also an uplift of 100 per cent if the beneficiary is not related to the deceased. This means the maximum rate of inheritance tax that could be applied is a horrendous 81.6 per cent.

Thankfully, this is very rare.

Each autonomous region e.g. Canary Islands, Andalucía, Cataluyna etc. also has its own tax allowances. However, these only apply to residents of that region. For example in the Canaries, if the deceased is resident in the Canary Islands and passed away on or after the 01/01/2008, a parent, spouse, “pareja de hecho” or child also resident habitually in Spain will apply a discount of 99.9 per cent to the applicable inheritance tax. The autonomous region of the Canary Islands has practically abolished inheritance tax within its resident families for their advantage, however this appears to be discriminatory in that residents of other EU states do not qualify and may be challenged in the European Court of Justice.

Clearly when dealing with an estate which involves Spanish property, assistance should be sought from a Spanish lawyer practising in the region concerned. DMS specialist solicitor Jonathan Sutton will be available for consultations in our Tenerife office on Friday 4th February 2011 he will also be able to advise on English Wills and will be offering discounted fees for appointments made during his visit.

ď š Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010) Remember that relationships only grow if you invest time and care. Give your special people more attention! You need to show what you feel, no matter what pressures are worrying you. ď š Rabbit (1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011) Sometimes, to maintain a relationship you have to support your partner, even if you are adverse to their ideas. Offer them freedom and you’ll be rewarded. ď š Dragon (1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000) Be patient with younger family members. Just remember that you were young once, and probably had the same kind of self-centred world view. ď š Snake (1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001) Certain irritations and situations involving children, teens or elderly family members might become a pressure on your mind. Communicate openly but calmly and the troubled waters should settle. ď š Horse (1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002) Some of your special people do need more attention.

Horses seeking to cement a love bond need to concentrate on understanding their partner’s needs and listening to their concerns. ď š Sheep (1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 Speak your mind but stay calm. Remember, you don’t have to give in to selfish or unreasonable demands and expectations. It’s time to stand up for yourself.

You have your own life to live.

ď š Rooster (1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005) Many Roosters may have to visit the dentist or doctor now. Just get it over with. You’ll wonder what all the fuss was about.

ď š Monkey (1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004) You’ll be busy, with extra journeys and a hectic schedule. Guard your health by eating well, downing plenty of fluids and topping up with vitamins and minerals.

OXYjet

By Daniela Herzberg & Roger Keller

ď š Ox (1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009) Single Oxen should make the effort to socialise, as romantic Earth energies are striving to pull someone special into their orbit. And before you say it, you are not too busy for love!

ď š Dog (1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006) You may feel that you are losing sight of your life objectives and becoming bogged down in the daily grind. We all go through these phases. Work hard to maintain faith in yourself and your goals. ď š Pig (1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007) Even if you’re feeling under the weather, attend meetings, interviews and social functions, as it will be to your long-term benefit.

The Chinese solar year starts around February 4. If your birthday is in January or at the beginning of February your Chinese animal sign belongs to the year before. Example 27.1. 1967 still belongs to the year of the horse.

Did you know?

If you have committed a serious traffic offence, such as speeding, driving while drunk or without a licence, the courts can order, in addition to other forms of punishment, the confiscation of your vehicle following reforms to the penal code at the end of 2010.

The new SEAT B

arcelona-based SEAT is celebrating great sales records in Spain and the UK, as well as the news that its all-new Alhambra has scooped the MPV title at this year’s What Car? Awards.

The new Alhambra is the largest, most luxurious and technologically advanced car SEAT has made. Its two sliding rear doors significantly improve practicality while access to third row seats is now a cinch thanks to the easy entry slide and tilt second row seats. Inside, seven individual seats can accommodate seven adults in genuine comfort with

Alhambra even third row occupants benefitting from generous knee and headroom. The clever new fold-flat system sees all five second- and third-row seats pivot into the floor at the tug of a lever.

Alhambra’s got a maximum of 2,297 litres of storage space, and even in fiveseat format (with the third row folded) there’s as much as 1,167 litres of space available.

Storage inside is generous too, with a profusion of cupholders, tray tables, cubby holes and pockets.

Beneath the graceful bonnet of the front-wheel drive Alhambra lie a variety of mod-

ern engine and transmission options: two top notch EU Vcompliant 2.0-litre common rail turbo diesels, of 140 PS or 170 PS, and an especially capable 1.4-litre TSI turbocharged direct injection 150 PS petrol powerplant. Depending on trim level, all are offered with either a precise six-speed manual or sporty yet flexible six-speed DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox). The result is a seven-seater capable of covering 0-62 mph in just 9.5 seconds (2.0 TDI CR 170 PS manual) and topping out at 130 mph (2.0 TDI CR 170 PS manual).

All Alhambras carry the Ecomotive badge, boasting some of SEAT’s most important Ecomotive technologies including Stop/Start and Brake Energy Recovery, while the 2.0 TDI CR 140 PS manual is badged E Ecomotive thanks to its low CO2 emissions of just 146 g/km. Economy is great too, with as much as 50.4 mpg on the combined cycle (2.0 TDI CR 140 PS manual).

Alhambra is offered in three trim levels and even the entry level is well equipped. Standard are three-zone climate control, parking sensors front and rear, sliding rear doors, electronic handbrake, Bluetooth hands-free phone connection, 16-inch alloys, Stop/Start and Brake Energy Recovery.

Further up the range, equipment includes power-operated sliding rear doors and tailgate, panoramic glass sunroof with opening front pane and electrically operated sun blind, black leather upholstery, 12-way electrically adjustable front seats, SEAT Media System including satellite navigation with dynamic route guidance, and rear view camera.

Technical innovations, depending on level, include High Beam Assist which automatically switches between full and dipped beam taking into account both street lighting and

oncoming traffic. Meanwhile, Park Assist makes mincemeat of sliding the SEAT into (and out of) parking spots by finding suitable spaces and then automatically steering while the driver simply controls the rest.

More information is available at www.seat.es

Until now, this move was reserved for cases involving kamikaze drivers. Now it can apply to those who have driven at extreme speeds or while drunk, with an excessively high blood-alcohol level.

Judges can now also eliminate the actual dilemma between ordering a prison sentence and fines or community service, establishing the three types of penalties as alternatives They also now have the exceptional opportunity to be able to reduce a prison sentence if they see fit, depending on the circumstances of the offence committed.

Formu l a 1

New Ferrari for Alonso

Fernando Alonso is to have a new and more aggressive Ferrari right from the first Formula 1 race this year.

The team have been working on the new car all the way through the festive season and for the first time in many years this has been achieved without copying any of the other manufacturers, in fact the likelihood is that Ferrari will be copied by them. The other winning ingredients are the names with whom Ferrari aims to win – Alonso, Pat Fry and Neil Martin. The car, which is to be presented on January 28th, still does not have a name although it is expected to be called F2011. During February we will be able to see how it performs, and the first race in the new season will be on March 13th at Bahrain.

Boxing

By George Reed

First knight

of British boxing was surprised, when glancing through IPersonality the list of past winners of British Sports of the year honours over the past 55 years, that only four boxers had won the coveted award.

However, one of them won on two occasions. That boxer is the only Knight

F

ans of UK rugby league clubs will know that the Warrington Wolves are not to be messed with.

53

Warrington wolves

The side are one of England’s top three teams, current holders of the Rugby League Challenge Cup. With the season just about to begin the team were in Tenerife for a week’s ‘warm weather training’, and where better than in the Tenerife Top Training - T3 in Costa Adeje. The Wolves head of coaching and rugby Tony Smith told Island Connections that this was their second year in T3 and they are “very impressed with the set up. It’s exceptional, and the service is great. They were in touch with us before we got here asking how they could improve

Warm weather training in T3

of British boxing, Sir Henry Cooper. Yet Cooper was the only one of the four fighters who never won a world title.

It may seem strange to some why Sir Henry was held in such esteem, but it must

be remembered that he was around when the British heavyweight title was worth shouting about. One of the lasting memories of my teenage days was huddling over the radio in the late 1940s with my father and listening to the crackling commentary as the British heavyweight champion Bruce Woodcock from Doncaster defended his title against Bournemouth’s Freddy Mills.

Then in later years during the 1960s, eagerly awaiting the British heavyweight title fights involving Henry Cooper, Brian London, Joe Erskine, Billy Walker, Jack Bodell and Joe Bugner, etc.

The most successful of the bunch was Henry Cooper, who humbled Brian London

to win the British and Empire title in 1959.

Over the following 10 years, he beat eight heavyweight contenders for his British title and became the first boxer in history to win three Lonsdale Belts outright.

Possibly the greatest moment in Cooper’s career was on 18th June 1963, when

he fought Cassius Clay, later to become Muhammad Ali, at Wembley Stadium in a non title fight (it was the year before Clay took the world heavyweight title from Sonny Liston).

A crowd of 55,000 turned up on the night, hoping to see Cooper’s fabled left

hook, ‘Enry’s ‘Ammer’ as the fans called it, put the loud-mouthed American on the seat of his pants, and ‘our ‘Enry’ did just that in the fourth round, as he caught Clay flush on his jaw and he went down like a sack of potatoes. If Cooper had managed to land that left hook earlier in the round, it’s almost a certainty that Clay would not have survived, and it would have changed the history of world heavyweight boxing.

‘Enry’s ‘Ammer’ had something to do with his enduring appeal, but his honesty, grace and humility are other factors that are just as important in explaining his celebrity. Sir Henry Cooper is now as much a national icon as a sporting hero.

Our current British champion Dereck Chisora will take on Wladimir Klitschko for

the IBF and WBO heavyweight titles on April 30th and as Chisora has had only 14 fights while Klitschko has 48 stoppages on his record in 58 fights, it looks all over before it begins. Yet in boxing it only takes one good punch, you never know! However I’m sure David Haye will have much more success if he squares up to Russian Chagaev as he’s expected to in May, with Haye’s WBA title at stake.

So why warm weather training? Tony said, “as you know we’ve had a bad period of heavy snow and frosty grounds in the UK, and competitions start next month, so we’ve lost a lot of training time. Here we have sunshine, great weather, a firm pitch and we are spending the time talking and training”. During their time the Wolves had two training sessions a day and spent the rest

liked, but the contacts have now been made for the next visit. And as Tony Smith pointed out, “even though we play rugby league and Ñandú play rugby union we are delighted to encourage participation in all kinds of rugby in the islands. If we can help by forging a relationship we will”.

Turnaround/ Las Palmas

Cejudo signs Spain stay freefall for Osasuna top of rankings Las Palmas have lost a valuable component of their strike force at the worst possible time, but the club says it was faced with an impossible choice.

Winger Alvaro Cejudo has moved to first division Osasuna to replace Juanfran, who departed for Atlético de Madrid in the first big transfer move of the year.

Cejudo’s loss, even if it brought in 400,000 badly-needed euros to Las Palmas, has been criticised by fans, who fear the goals will dry up at a time when the side has been sliding dangerously down the table after a very bright start to the season.

“One of our best players has gone very cheaply and we will have our work cut out to persuade someone of his calibre to replace him” said one fan on a radio phone-in. However, chairman Miguel Ángel Ramírez said there was nothing he could do to stop the move. “Alvaro had his heart set on a step up to the top flight and he would have gone for nothing in June as a free agent, so at least we earned something” explained Ramírez.

The disappointment at not seeing Xavi Hernández or Andrés Iniesta lift the FIFA World Player of the Year award earlier this month has been tempered slightly for Spain by the news that the country remains at the top of the world rankings.

Spain’s 1887 points ensure it remains ahead of the Netherlands, Germany, Brazil and Argentina in the FIFA table, which has seen very few changes in the Top 50.

Another crumb of comfort making up for the Player of the Year disappointment was the inclusion of no fewer than six Spaniards in the FIFA XI of best players in 2010, five of them from Barcelona and one from Real Madrid.

Football pundits are at a loss to explain the dramatic turnaround seen at Las Palmas which has seen the side plummet towards the foot of the second division since early December.

The home loss to Córdoba brought the first major unrest among fans, some of whom openly called for the club to dismiss manager Paco Jemez.

The change in fortunes is all the more remarkable if it is remembered that Las Palmas were unanimously singled out as the team to watch in the division this year after sparkling performances in the early part of the season saw scouts from top first division sides travel down to monitor several players. However, after beating then leaders Rayo Vallecano on 27 November, Las Palmas went into freefall, picking up just one point from a possible 18 and sliding perilously close to the relegation zone.

Terence Mateus Koetsier Feyenoord

player arrested

A winter-break training camp in the Canaries proved costly for Dutch side Feyenoord, who lost one of their players in bizarre circumstances.

The presence of Terence Mateus Koetsier with his teammates in the south of Gran Canaria was short-lived due to his arrest by Spanish police, who executed a European Order issued in his name for drug-trafficking. The 24-yearyear-old is accused of being behind dozens of shipments of cannabis from the Netherlands to Britain back in 2008. The drugs, concealed in boxes of flowers, were intercepted by the Dutch and UK authorities in two separate seizures. The arrest made national headlines throughout Spain and in Koetsier’s home country.

ith 2011 barely underway Soccer Experience is already involved in new dramas and events as there have not been one, but two title winners!

The first is Lee Morfitt’s Pueblo Torviscas side who, having won the Soccer Experience Championship league title three weeks back, finally got their hands on the trophy. A wonderful season for Pueblo saw them lead from the early stages and withstand some huge pressure from a chasing pack, yet finally and deservedly they won it by a huge eight point gap. So as one season comes to an end a new season begins and with fresh transfer rumours and specula-

tion for the new up-and-coming Championship league this season will surely be the best thus far!

The second title of the year went to Darren’s mighty white from our new Saturday morning kids league. They themselves have taken the league by storm, averaging over seven goals a game and really have set the benchmark for all the kids teams of the future to follow. Not only that, but to do it undefeated - a real testimony to their side! This was Soccer Experience’s first kids league season and it has been a wonderful success. All the teams and players are showing signs of real maturity and teamwork whilst still keeping the fun element to the game. The next kids league will start soon and

they are looking for two more teams with kids aged 7 to 12 years. Please contact Soccer Experience if you are an individual player or if you have a group of friends wanting to start a kids league.

The local defence was excellent and even though Ñandú found themselves near the 22 yard line more than once, they couldn’t find that elusive try. A faulty chronometer meant the first half lasted longer than it should have, and the younger side from Adeje began to tire, to the advantage of the home team. The Gran Canarians have a superi-

Tapia not first choice Tenerife are pinning hopes of salvation from an embarrassing relegation to second division B on former Málaga manager Antonio Tapia, who was, as reported in our CD Tenerife report, brought in hours after the derby draw (1-1) against Las Palmas, a result that meant the door for Juan Carlos Mandía and another expensive pay-out for the club, which already had to agree to pay previous coach Gonzalo Arconada 90 per cent of his contract when he was dismissed after just six games back in the autumn.

A new infirmary was opened recently in the Cruz Blanca Franciscan Brothers centre in Las Chafiras.

Chair man Miguel Concepción is praying Tapia’s experience in the division, with previous stints at Polideportivo

Funding to open the new installation was made possible by the help and collaboration of the Golf del Sur golf club. The new infirmary will be used for basic health needs and storage of basic medicines, and ser ve the needs of the centre’s users.

Lucía Lemus, San Miguel social ser vices councillor said that the donation was very welcome as the health of the centre’s regular users was an important priority and fundamental to their quality of life.

Present at the inauguration of the infirmary were Brother Miguel López Nacarino, Superior General of the congregation, the centre’s director, Brother Juan, councillor Lucía Lemus, and members of the Golf del Sur club as well as the local parish priest, Roberto Darias, and many of the centre’s regular users and their families.

Winter signings The Ghanaian midfielder Lariyea Kingston is tipped as the man to help save CD Tenerife from the drop.

Mandía, the second CD Tenerife trainer to be sacked this season

Ejido, Granada, Málaga and Betis, will prove crucial to steering the team free of the drop zone in the coming weeks.

However, he was not the first choice appointment, according to sources at the club. Former Barcelona star Victor Muñoz, who walked out of Chechen side Grozny a few weeks ago, is believed to have been offered the job but demanded conditions that Tenerife were not prepared to meet.

As we go to press Kingston is named as the second possible new signing for the club following the arrival the week before of Sebastién Dubarbier. Kingston, 30, is currently out of contract having most recently placed with Vitesse in Holland.

Dubarbier is on loan for the season from FC Lorient.

Passionate Derby ends in stalemate CD Tenerife

16/01/11 Ponferradina 1:1 CD Tenerife

Under fire manager Mandía attempted to stem the poor away form by tightening up the defence for this trip to Ponferradina, a town close to the Galician border in Castilla y Leon.

A five man defensive tactic was tried by the blanquiazules and for most of the game the experiment looked as if it might work, the new format was basically a 5-4-1. The small Toralin stadium resembles an English third or fourth division style club with the stands close to the pitch, cold misty weather and a partisan 7,000 home support. Neither side really deserved to win this one but Tenerife did show more spirit and they were not “making the manager’s bed” as some radio pundits suggested they might before the game. They were working hard and the result may have been totally different if efforts from Ricardo and Nino had hit the back of the net instead of the cross bar! With no TV coverage of the game fans were glued to their radios and they jumped for joy after 32 minutes as Mikel Alonso set up Pablo Sicilia to score.

On the hour mark defender Bellvis enjoying a rare start had to leave the field due to a calf injury and it was back to a flat back four, that seemed to unsettle the blanquiazules.

Sergio Aragoneses made some important saves but there was a certain inevitability to the 77 minute equaliser that came from Ponferradina player, Mayor. It was a shame that Tenerife could not hold on in this ‘six pointer’. A draw is welcome as long as you can follow that up with a home win, that has always been my motto but with time running out Tenerife need to start winning away to beat the drop.

23/01/11 CD Tenerife 1:1 UD Las Palmas

The date most football fans in the Canaries look for when the fixtures are

Melli’s first goal for the club was greeted with celebrations on the pitch and off

announced is the Canarian derby between CD Tenerife and UD Las Palmas. The rivalry between the two clubs is fierce and passions run high on match day.

After much deliberation the game was finally planned for a Sunday morning kick off, as pay TV channel Canal+ (who have first rights) chose to televise the game much to the annoyance of TV Canaria. Soon after the Canarian Government passed an emergency motion to declare the game of ‘Canarian national interest’ which means that the event would have to be shown live on a free television channel.

In the end the game was only televised on Canal+ and court proceedings will begin shortly between Canal+ and the Canarian Government.

With both clubs now deep in relegation trouble the game was always likely to be a tense affair. The usual pre-match banter between supporters spilled over into isolated pockets of trouble and police reported that 100 cars were damaged by Las Palmas ‘fans’ on their march up to the stadium from the ferry terminal.

On the day around 1,600 yellow clad away fans made the trip from Gran Canaria, closely guarded by 225 police, many dressed in full riot gear.

Due to ferry delays most were not able to enter the stadium until well after the start of the game, which in the UK would have led to the kick off being

delayed, but not here. In fact the disorganisation has led to calls for heads to roll.

It is estimated that 400 Las Palmas fans entered the stadium without a ticket as the doors of the stadium were opened on police orders due to the rush. Ring a bell? Add to this that plenty more visiting fans with tickets in other parts of the stadium were moved to the away section which meant that there were possibly 1,700 fans in a section meant for 900 - you can imagine what could have happened.

One thing is for sure though, CD Tenerife were not to blame for any of the problems on the day. The stadium was packed, the sun was out and the atmosphere was fantastic.

Huge banners adorned the terraces, “We are the owners of our destiny” one read.

The match itself was a typical derby affair with lots of heart but little good football. Plenty of fouls were given by the over officious referee Mario Lopez which halted the play somewhat.

The first half possession was largely dominated by the blanquiazules but the better chances fell to the visiting team with goalkeeper Sergio Aragoneses saving superbly on a couple of occasions.

The closest Tenerife came to breaking the deadlock was a free kick by Ricardo that scraped the bar on twenty minutes. When Nino was hacked down on the half an hour mark a penalty seemed

certain, but the referee did not agree with the pleas of the 20,000+ crowd and he waved play on.

Manager Mandía knew that his job was on the line and nothing but a win would suffice. The 0-0 half time scoreline was a fair reflection on play but that all changed at the start of the second half.

An inswinging corner by Omar Ramos was met by Melli at the near post and he outjumped the entire Las Palmas defence to score with a great header. It was the much criticised Melli’s first goal for the club, and what a time to score it!

The stadium erupted, then bounced, then sang in unison.

It was fantastic to be beating the old enemy and it had been a long while since the crowd had been so happy. As the game continued the customary substitutions were made, lively Dani Kome was replaced by new signing Dubarbier in midfield and Natalio by JuanLu on the hour mark. This was significant as Tenerife lost control of the midfield and appeared to be holding on for the narrow win instead of pushing for a second goal.

Las Palmas pushed forward smelling the chance of an equaliser. Chances were either squandered or dealt with by the Tenerife keeper but with just three minutes remaining, the visitors scored to the dismay of the ranks of blue and white clad supporters.

Argentinean new signing Mauro Quiroga ran on to an

excellent cross to cleanly strike the ball into the net.

It was a cruel blow but to be honest (and that takes a lot to admit against Las Palmas) it was a fair result on the day’s play. A draw did not suit either team who are both in dire straits at the wrong end of the table.

Soon after the match, the Tenerife manager Juan Carlos Mandiá was sacked and replaced straight away

by Antonio Tapia. At his press conference the following day the new boss stated that, “I am coming to a great club, a historic club in Spanish football and it is a great honour for me, personally and professionally”.
