Regional rift
A right royal treat
PP pulls out of Canarian government over budget vote
Soria
T
he Canarian Government was plunged into chaos following the decision by the Popular Party (PP) to withdraw from the powersharing agreement in place since 2007. José Manuel Soria, the Canarian Finance Minister and regional PP boss, consulted his national leader Mariano Rajoy before announcing the shock decision, which was triggered by the Canarian Coalition’s (CC) support for Spanish premier José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero in the Budget vote in Madrid mid-October. “The CC have helped maintain Zapatero on life support instead of persuading him to call an early general election. In return they have obtained virtually nothing for the Canaries, so we feel we cannot continue in government with them” said Soria. The withdrawal, which was headline news throughout Spain, could
have a knock-on effect on partnership agreements in a number of town halls and island councils which the PP and CC currently rule together. Announcing his decision to leave government, Soria said he was concerned that the decision wouldn’t harm the islands, and his party would support the vote on budget estimates which his department had prepared. He added that the decision had been, “difficult”, and that in general the coalition had worked, “reasonably well” up to now, but the CC support for the Zapatero was, “disastrous for Spain and the Canarias”. Other departments in PP hands were Tourism, Agriculture and Health. The political landscape nationally also shifted, with a wide-scale cabinet reshuffle. Details were being finalised as we go to press, but moves include a significant boost for Interior Minister Rubalcaba who becomes second in command. Economist Valeriano Gomez replaces Corbacho in the Employment Ministry. Trinidad Jiménez moves from Health to Foreign Affairs, Rosa Aguilar, previously the, “jewel in the crown of the IU” (radical left wing party), takes Environment, Leire Pajín takes up the reins at Health and Ramón Júaregui also joins the cabinet.
Queen Elizabeth inaugural cruise
A new Queen in town P
roudly flying the blue ensign to denote her Captain, Chris Wells’, status as a member of the Royal Naval reserve, Queen Elizabeth, the latest Cunard liner, sailed into Santa Cruz harbour on October 19.
The President of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife Port’s Authority, Pedro Rodríguez Zaragoza,
presented an excellently crafted speech in English, but unfortunately seemed unaware of the nuances of some English words as he declared that the authorities were, “proud to welcome all the Queens to the Canaries”. Some visitors and members of staff were hard put to contain giggles. The ship has all the style and grace of the Queen Victoria
with some of the majesty of the Queen Mary 2 and is sure to become a firm Cunard favourite. Decorated in exquisite detail in the fashion of 80 or 90 years ago, this latest Queen is traditionally Cunard but with all the latest technology. The 170 years of Cunard history can be seen reflected in the display cases around the ship, with special reference to the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Elizabeth 2. Diners still eat off Wedgwood plates and sip from Waterford glassware
in The Verandah restaurant and the famous White Star service is still proudly on offer in the Britannia restaurant and elsewhere in the ship. There are some 1,000 crew to take care of the 2,000 passengers who were mainly British and American with some Germans and a group of 200 Japanese. Once in port approximately 500 chose to go on organised excursions, with the most popular option Teide National Park, and many more decided to organise individual trips with taxi drivers or simply stroll around the capital. Of the visitors ashore that we spoke to, some were blasé, some impressed and some frankly bored, “you got nothing here we ain’t got in the States,” one American visitor claimed. However our favourite comments came from David and Jenny who’ve visited Santa Cruz before and love it. Swinging a bag of gifts they’d purchased in the Casa de los Balcones shop (no Chinese copies for these canny buyers) they announced their belief that cruise visitors should leave some money in the local economy, affirmed how much they loved Santa Cruz and told us, “we don’t tend to go on excursions, we like to meet the local people. Passengers should be encouraged to wander around all the shops and the little bars in the back streets – lovely.”

The new look plaza was designed by Fernando Martín Menis and opens the square out up to the Barranco del Infierno. The inauguration was particularly moving, given that it happened on the day that the islands were mourning the death of the architect’s brother, Adan Martín, former regional and insular president,

The mayor outlined how the square had been redesigned, “between two buildings both emblematic and historic, the Franciscan convent and the Santa Úrsula church” and would provide a major boost for the life of the old town. There is now a large tower in the square, a homage to the very first Adejeros, with a bell which, we are told, will toll on solemn occasions, with a sacred art museum in its interior. There is also a stage, a garden zone, and a pathway to the Barranco and a link to the Plaza del Emigrante, behind the town hall, as well as a meeting place.

Memorial service honours former president
Adán Martín RIP
Former Canarian president Adán Martín, who died on 10 October, has been honoured in the form of an official memorial service in St Anne’s Cathedral in Las Palmas. The hugely popular politician passed away after losing an 11-year-old battle against cancer, which forced him to curtail his political activities in 2007, when he stepped down as regional president. Martín, 66, also headed the Tenerife Cabildo for more than a decade (1987-1999), combining his job with that of MP in the Spanish Parliament for a period (1993-1996). He left the Cabildo to become Canarian finance minister, prior to taking over the reins
Adan Martín, 1943 – 2010 of government in 2003. His death prompted unanimous tributes from across the political divide, with former colleagues and opponents stressing his human qualities, work ethic and political tenacity. The memorial service was held just over a week after he was laid to rest in private in Santa Cruz (Tenerife).Family sources say he died shortly after his body rejected a marrow transplant in the Barcelona hospital where he had been receiving treatment regularly over the past year. He is survived by his second wife, Pilar, who served under him as tourism minister in the Canarian government, and his two children from his first marriage. Credit PixelPress.es

It is part of a new scheme on offer between the Turismo de Tenerife and La Laguna University to offer courses to Tenerife residents so that they know their island in more depth and can thereby help and be better hosts to our visitors. Cabildo councillor for tourism, José Manuel Bermúdez, asserted, “we want tinerfeños to participate in the external promotion of the island,” adding that feeling pride in being tinerfeño also means enjoying our tourists, a sector on which 125,000 families rely directly. The volunteer students study a special course on-line for six weeks covering natural and cultural resources and the tourism activity in the island, to a medium or advanced level and will receive a diploma at the end. The first course was fully subscribed.

Residents
Air fare subsidy fraud R
esidents in the Canaries will not, after all, lose the current air fare subsidy for flights to and from the Spanish mainland, although the government in Madrid says it will pull out all the stops to tackle fraudulent use of the funding. Transport minister José Blanco had hinted in the summer that he intended to phase out the 50 per cent subsidy for
higher fares because a small minority of passengers used up the bulk of the money available. However, he has since reconsidered following pressure from the Canarian authorities and has ordered his Department instead to investigate growing reports that mainland residents are taking out fictitious residence here to take advantage of the subsidy, which can amount to several thousand euros if multiple trips
are made during the year. In a separate development, Spain’s Association of Travel Agents has gone public with allegations that some airlines are overcharging the government for the discounts by doctoring the paperwork on the fares actually charged to obtain a higher refund. The association alleges that “one airline alone has made six million euros from the fraud”.
Fruit of the vine
The bible of Spanish wines, La Guía Peñin de los Vinos de España, for 2011 has included 228 Tenerife wines.

Ombusdman apologises
Sorry for uniform jibe T
he Ombudsman of the Canary Islands has been forced to apologise to civil ser vants and local government workers after recommending that they be forced to “wear uniforms so we can identify them on their long coffee breaks”. Manuel Alcaide triggered a furious backlash from the work-
ers and the region’s political parties for his remarks, with some calling on him to prove his accusations of laziness. The Ombudsman made the controversial remarks when presenting his office’s Annual Report to Parliament and discussing the rise in complaints against the efficiency of staff at town halls and other local gov-
ernment departments. Apologising for any offence caused, he said his comments were “light-hearted and unofficial and had been taken too literally”. However, he has received backing by many newspaper readers for tackling an issue to which a blind eye is turned by the authorities throughout the Canaries.
The previsions by Turismo de Tenerife mean that there will be an increase of eight per cent over last year. Whilst delighted the authorities are sounding the note of caution in case the places do not translate into bums on seats, that is to say, remain unsold.

Deportation blocked
‘Russian bride’ visa A
llegations that the Canaries’ top police of ficer and the region’s most senior Spanish government representative intervened personally to block the deportation of the young Russian fiancée of a well-known politician’s brother in 2008 are set to a lead to a possibly embarrassing court case. According to officers at the Aliens’ Office in Lanzarote, Concepción de La Vega, overall
commander of the National Police here, telephoned them personally to tell them not to enforce a deportation order against the Russian woman, whose 90-day tourist visa had expired. The of ficers say a wedding was then arranged “surprisingly swiftly” between the Russian and the brother of Francisco Spinola, a senior PSOE member and MP in the Canarian Parliament. Details of the alleged inter-
vention have been published in the regional media in recent weeks. According to one paper (La Opinión), Carolina Darias, Spain’s top official here and a leading PSOE figure, also stepped in to halt the expulsion “as a personal favour”. The accusations by one chief inspector against de La Vega and another senior police officer, which include faking official documents and knowingly taking decisions contrary to Immigration Law,

One is in Los Hinojeros in the town centre and the other in San Isidro.

Carolina is a freelance producer working with the Creative Differences company and is here with her team working on a

six part series, Reign of the Dinosaurs, for Discovery Channel on all the kinds of dinosaurs you can imagine. Tenerife is the location site for four of these one hour programmes, thanks to the Blackstone Film Company, who have been working non stop with the Discovery Channel team to provide an enormous gamut of locations, something which, unfortunately, hasn’t always been made easy given the inflexibility of some local and national authorities. Of course the main protagonists, the dinosaurs themselves, will be added later. It’s somewhat of an update on the excellent BBC production of a few years ago, Walking with Dinosaurs (1999). Caroline told Island Connections that each hour long programme will be divided into six parts, each telling its own story, and unlike many of its predecessors, there will be no ‘educational’ voice-over, but the pictures and dinosaurs will tell their story through their actions, “ which is why we have been working with storyboard artists rather than
writers”, Carolina explained. “The scientific knowledge will be embedded in the story”, she continued…” if the story is well told it will grab the audience”. It will also, quite obviously, have a greater universal appeal. Despite some unforeseen hiccups (on the morning we were there Costas had refused permission for a short filming session with a camera mounted on a car on the beach), Carolina and her team (German, American, English and Irish) were hugely enthusiastic about Tenerife as a location, and the work that Julia Schroedl, Ser vice Producer, and her colleagues at Blackstone Film Company were doing – “we sent Julia the storyboard and the images we needed to use”, and very soon they were booking flights. In fact in the end it was between Hawaii and Tenerife and the latter won out. Both women also acknowledged that they clicked early on and were able to establish an excellent working relationship. During their five and a half week stay in Tenerife they worked a six day week, shooting as many hours as daylight and weather permitted, and Carolina reckons, having already spent two years on the project, it will be at least another year or two before it comes to air.
Rivero delight
€100 million Tebeto ruling
A landmark Supreme Court ruling has vindicated the Canarian government’s refusal to compensate a quarrying firm for lost earnings when its controversial licence to extract rock in Fuerteventura was revoked.
K
nown as the Tebeto Case after the hills of the same name on the island, the long-running dispute appeared to have been settled last year when the Canarian High Court ordered that the firm was entitled to over €100 million in capital and interest arrears for the voiding of the contract in 1993. However, Canarian president Paulino Rivero vowed he would “go as far as it takes” to avoid burdening the regional coffers with such a debt. “We could use this money for urgent things rather than to reward a speculator who cashed in on his contacts and has held us to ransom since 1993” said a government insider. Rivero was given the news about the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the High Court compensation order as he was giving a press conference and immediately broke into a wide grin.
Health
Garachico port
Morocco accused
The maximum waiting time for a hospital operation has been fixed at six months for a small number of urgent conditions, following an agreement between the Spanish government and its regional counterparts, including the Canaries.
Interesting to note the press comments before the high seas registered in early October claiming that the port at Garachico would take everything the sea was about to throw at it – they were wrong.
Canarian Social Services Minister, Inés Rojas, has blamed Morocco for the recent spate of arrivals of migrant boats in Lanzarote. Speaking after a fifth boat with Africans arrived in just two weeks, Rojas said she would ask the Spanish government to press Morocco for an explanation as to why the boats are not being detected on departure. “The surveillance appears to have been relaxed for some reason and we want to know why,” said a ministry source. It has also emerged that one of the two radars based on Lanzarote to detect incoming boats has been out of order for several weeks. The recent wave of arrivals has forced the Canarian government to reopen two centres used to accommodate teenage migrants.
Waiting list
The new system, which will be extended to dozens of other medical situations, covers heart operations, cataracts, and thigh and knee replacements, for which a maximum 180-day time limit has been set as of the moment the patient is placed on the list for the surgery. It will come into effect when Madrid passes the required legislation.
Tempting the gods Patera wave Whilst the mayor insisted in a press conference that the damage was only to the most recently installed section, that the timetable for the port would not be delayed and that the work would be finished before the end of 2011, the green opposition party leader in Icod, Jonás Pérez, claimed that the damage has doubled the cost of the port. Pérez also denounced the politicians for misleading the population into believing that there would be a link with La Palma from the town. He claims that the strong currents and shallow draught will impede the access for larger craft.

xpensive, long drawn out works to enlarge and improve facilities at the port of La Gomera’s capital San Sebastián should soon prove “wor thwhile and profitable”, according to Cabildo chief, Casimiro Curbelo. “This is a real business opportunity for the island as a whole, and in particular for the capital. Big cruise ships will include La Gomera on their itineraries as of October, when the extension is finished”, he said. “As of the seventeenth of November, for example, a three thousand, six hundred passenger liner will call at San

Victory for Telde family A family from Telde in Gran Canaria has won its battle against the siting of a petrol station on its doorstep and now wants it removed.
J
osé Manuel González and his family launched their crusade against the noise and smell generated by the petrol station after discovering it had been granted planning permission in breach of the town’s own regulations. “The company was granted the permission in 2003 and an operating licence in 2005, even though the land was classified officially as farmland and could not be used for industry or trade. We challenged the licences repeatedly and have now been vindicated” explained González hours after learning that the High Court had rejected the council’s appeal against an earlier ruling in his favour. In the latest ruling, Telde is criticised for failing to act to remedy the noise nuisance
Sebastián every second Friday and we must offer a range of activities for the passengers, promoting local products and services”. Three thousand, six hundred people arriving for a day trip on La Gomera will constitute an instant, sixteen percent increase in the island’s population. Should even half the passengers wish to see the island, it will be necessar y for bus companies to put their entire fleets and all their drivers at the ready, the few restaurants capable of dealing with more than fifty customers to cook to capacity, and most of the island’s tourist guides to stand by. Extra drivers, guides and catering staff will have to be taken
San Sebastián
If the boat comes in on to cope with the demand. If more than half disembark, buses from Tenerife will have to be ferried in. Local businesses, the Chamber of Commerce and the island’s councils have been meeting to formulate plans on how best to capitalise on this sudden influx of potential spending. If each passenger coming ashore spends the usual sixty euros on a coach
tour and another ten on souvenirs, a healthy quarter of a million euros will give the local economy an instant boost. But there is one fatal flaw. Cr uise ships of this size present something of a challenge to local pilots who are responsible for manouevring vessels in and out of port, especially given that in winter there is often ‘mar de fondo’, or swell, even in good weather. The
island’s transport providers, drivers, guides and restaurants have already experienced waiting for cruise passengers who never arrive. Boats much smaller than the proposed mega-liner have several times come close to San Sebastián’s port, waited outside and then disappeared again when pilots decide to let discretion take the better part of valour. The cost of the
lost food, wages and business has to be borne, but there is obviously a breaking point. A failure of this scale could easily ruin small businesses. What Casimiro Curbelo does not announce is the unfortunate fact that, despite all the expenditure and fanfare, nobody has thought to provide the port with the tug it needs to ensure big liners can get in in all but the worst of weathers.
caused by the car wash and 24-hour cafeteria/bar in the filling station and for repeatedly ignoring warnings at the time that the planning permission was invalid. If the station has to be demolished the council will have to pay substantial compensation to the company.
Population
Boom days over? Predictions by Spain’s National Institute of Statistics (INE) point to a major slow-down in the rate of population growth in the Canaries during the coming decade.
A
recent repor t by the Institute setting out projections for 2010-2020 states that the 10-year rise here is expected to drop to a mere 3.5 per cent, a fraction of the 24.3 per cent increase posted between 2000 and 2009. The rate is slightly higher than the anticipated rise at national level (2.7 per cent), says INE. The population of the Canaries is approximately 2.1 million, making it the eighth largest region in Spain.

Accessibility conference
Tourism for all
T
he Arona mayor, José Alber to González Reverón was the guest speaker at a recent conference on Accessibility, tourism and universal design in Pontevedra. The mayor was invited, along with representatives from Ávila and Málaga, to outline how the borough of Arona has put a whole series of mobility improving measures in place in recent years, and the invitation was seen as a “a mark of recognition as prestigious as, for instance, the Reina Sofía Universal Accessibility prize (which Arona has won)”, and a reflection of the ongoing work the council is doing in the area of accessibility for persons with physical mobility challenges, in the fields of education, leisure, culture, sports and tourism as well as using the latest IT and communication tools to further the cause. During his address González Reverón said, “the beginnings of tourism in Arona, which began in the 1950s, came about pre-
‘Alarmist’ Los Cristianos claims
Criticism by the Friends of Los Cristianos of the state of the resort and surrounding parts has been disputed by the local Canarian Coalition party. Spokesman Carmelo García says the recent list of faults published by the association are “alarmist’”and totally unfounded.
A
cisely via a decision of a group of Swedish people affected by multiple sclerosis, who chose the region” because they saw how a stay in Arona alleviated their symptoms thanks to the climate Arona enjoys. He said that the council had continued to work not simply to remove physical barriers around the town to those with mobility difficulties but also to celebrate and encourage the involvement of reduced mobility participants
Accessibility for all has been the cornerstone of Arona’s tourism in recent years
in cultural and sporting events, overall working towards an improvement in their quality of life. This includes beach access, practical and personal help for those in need of assisted sea and pool bathing and a six kilometre maritime walkway accessible to all.
ccording to the CC, which governs Arona, never has so much investment been made in Los Cristianos as in the last four years. “The criticism does not take into account the major efforts made to improve facilities in Los Cristianos. The delays in other important projects such as the harbour and Tarajales beach are not our fault, as the Friends are fully aware. Approval depends on central government and on the completion of impact assessments” said García, who also denied accusations that the latest problems with rubbish collection and road sweeping were the council’s fault. “We have always stepped in when necessary and as of February a new company will take on the service”, he added.
Bargain fair
Expoutlet success
The bargain fair, Expoutlet Arona 2010 held on the weekend of 9th and 10th October in front of the Los Cristianos sports pavilion was an outstanding success. The public flocked to grab a bargain from the many stalls occupied by 72 companies from the borough of Arona who were offering a minimum 50 per cent discount on their goods. The stalls, all set up inside a giant marquee, were selling fashion, accessories, health foods and products, computer, toys and games, decoration, home and gifts, sports and children’s products. The fair, which was open from 10am to 9pm on both days and organised by the Arona council’s department for economic promotion and employment, aimed to help the business owners to sell off old stock to make way for the new.

Birthday celebration
Forum is five A
mong the bir thday celebrations that took place in October mention necessarily has to be made of the fifth anniversary of the setting up of Tenerife’s biggest web-based forum for ex-pat residents and visitors to the island. Members of the Tenerife Forum (not to be confused with a younger one which is very similar in name) are delighted not just at achieving the milestone but that their creation has grown from strength to strength during its half-a-decade existence. Island Connections spoke to some of the people behind the initiative, the brainchild of its anonymous owner ‘Zarion’ (see later), who decided - after looking for a good and constantly updated Tenerife-based forum or website and not finding anything that could be considered “a large, friendly community”- to set up his own. Zarion was adamant from the outset that the forum should give real people a chance to post and provide first-hand answers to queries about any Tenerife-related issue. One of its stalwarts,
a teacher who goes by the pen name of ‘Kirsty Jay’, takes up the story from there: “There were only a handful of members to begin with, many of whom are still with us today, including myself as member 27. Within a couple of weeks we already had a couple of hundred. News of TF spread fast and membership rose quickly. We still get around 20-30 new members registering every day, although not all do so to post. Our active daily visiting members number around 500700, but total membership is now at 21,450.” For the 30-day period immediately prior to our contact with Kirsty Jay, the stats showed just over 117,000 unique visitors, almost 1,000,000 page views, an average of 600 posts daily, and 65 new threads every day also. “Tenerife Forum receives more hits and visitors than the official Tenerife Tourist information website, www.webtenerife. com, and is constantly on the first page of Google for the majority of Tenerife-related search terms due to our massive and constantly updated database of information contributed by our helpful members... and it’s all free”, adds KJ.
In terms of profile, the forum attracts a pretty mixed bag, with two main categories dominating: residents and holidaymakers. Unless they are regular visitors, holidaymakers often only join to enquire about things relating to their trip and then disappear from the radar. However, occasionally the irregular UK holiday visitors will return every year a few weeks before they travel to catch up on the news and gossip. Far from being an ‘automatic pilot’, the forum, which is hosted on a dedicated server, requires considerable effort in terms of site maintenance and moderating. An enormous amount of
time, research and editing goes into keeping it going. As Kirsty Jay explains, “all the moderators, who are from a wide range of backgrounds contribute their services for free, spending a lot of their free time attending to thankless tasks. “Without them, the forum could not function. We are entirely funded by our advertising, but we don’t make a profit. All extra cash we have above and beyond the cost of hosting is ploughed back into the forum to improve software, services, etc. We have a special section set aside for advertiser announcements so that people can differentiate between ads
and recommendations. In that way members can trust the information they receive on the forum!” The forum has always endeavoured to hold regular meet-ups to give members the opportunity to meet each other face-to-face. As Kirsty Jay says “many of our regular members are now very good friends and you will also find that many have gained a lot of business and close friends through the forum”. Over and above its usefulness as a contact point for a chat, Tenerife Forum’s importance in other respects is underlined by virtually all the members we spoke to. For regular Andy Ward, “you ask a question on there about literally anything and before you’ve had time to make yourself a coffee and return to your laptop you’ll have three or four answers back!”. Stuart (aka Young Golfer), from Properties Are Us in Torviscas, has also made a few good friends on the site who are now, in real life, close friends. Sue Havenhand, an early member with over 3,000 posts to her credit, sees it not just as a social space but an invaluable ideal tool for publicising her work with the Live Arico dog refuge. For football-mad Chris Todd, the advantages clearly outweigh the minor disadvantages: “I have found Tenerife Forum to be a great way of communicating and catching up on the latest island gossip. Let us face it some of it is trivial nonsense like ‘where can I buy a blue handled
11
screwdriver?’ or ‘I am coming out to Tenerife early March 2011, what will the weather be like that week?” However, most replies are informative and some of the community spirit shown on the forum is fantastic. The amount of new recruits to the ‘blue and white cause’ that we have found through the forum runs into the hundreds, thanks Tf Forum!’ “The identity of Zarion is a closely-guarded secret: the owner of the forum prefers to remain anonymous for the simple reason that “when people do not know who you are, they cannot apportion blame for decisions they do not like”. Kirsty Jay justifies the secrecy quite openly: “As moderators and decision makers with regard to the running of the forum, we all have our own jobs, friends, businesses and lives. “It is not unknown for members who do not like a particular decision to abuse and even threaten the moderator in question. Zarion made a decision when he started the forum to remain anonymous so that he could make impartial decisions without fear of retribution and also keep his privacy. “There is nothing strange or special about Zarion: he’s just an individual whose forum rocketed in popularity beyond his expectations and he prefers to have his own space, just as we all do... however the speculation will always continue on the forum as to who he really is.”

Harassment officer at it again? Almond SW/ aripe
fair
Sunday October 24 from 10am to 2pm, the VIII Gran Majada will take place in Aripe, Guía de Isora.
A
The images filmed by the camera in the petrol station in Marazul which caused outrage
Tenerife policeman who made international headlines last year after being caught on CCTV cameras tr ying to force himself on a glamorous Norwegian tourist is back in the firing line this month following sexual harassment allegations by two women. The officer, who was seconded from the local Santiago del Teide force to neighbouring Guía de Isora after the Norwegian scandal in March 2009, is said to have offered to tear up traffic fines for a young Bulgarian woman in return for “favours”. According to the La
Opinión paper, the woman has filed a formal complaint against the 35-year-old for stalking her and making lewd phone calls. “He offered to drop the fines and when I refused to meet up with him he raised them to €200 to pressure me. He has even turned up at my place of work and tried to kiss me” said the woman. A second woman, believed to be Spanish and resident in Guía de Isora, has also made an official complaint concerning the behaviour of the officer for allegedly harassing her by telephone to see her and visiting her workplace in uniform. According to La Opinión, Guía
council, which employs the policeman, has done nothing to investigate the alleged harassment. He reportedly failed to attend a preliminary inquiry session due to illness. In 2009, the Tenerife Cabildo issued an open invitation to visit the island again to Wenche Helle, the Norwegian holidaymaker whose attempts to escape from the clutches of the same officer were filmed by a petrol station camera in Marazul and caused outrage here and in Norway.
The largest number of traditional confectioners will gather together to sell mainly almond based sweets, cakes, tea, liqueur etc and the almonds recently gathered in Vilaflor will be sold to raise funds for the hospital founded in Guatamala by the Tenerife born Saint, Hermano Pedro. Wine and other titbits are on offer, there is to be a cookery demonstration with almonds and demonstrations of agricultural traditions such as how to harvest almonds. At the end of the afternoon, a sack of almonds is spread on the floor in the apañada tradition for the children to gather, open with a handy stone and eat.
Staff from the British Consulate were on hand to answer questions
coffin accusations rejected
Media reports quoting sources at Spain’s Airports’ Authority (AENA) said the controllers, who are embroiled in a long-running dispute over working conditions, refused to keep the tower open beyond the 11pm closing time for the airport even though the plane was not far away. The switch to Tenerife South forced the government to arrange for the hearse and fleet of limousines to be rushed 70km down the motorway from La Laguna to meet the coffin, which did not reach the main government building in Santa Cruz, where crowds had gathered, until 1am. Reacting to the allegations, the controllers say the change of airport was the result of an unfortunate coordination mixup. “When we were asked to stay on, we replied that we would try and obtain a shorter route for the plane through Moroccan air space to ensure it arrived earlier. By the time the go-ahead was given, however, a new flight plan had already been filed to take the private jet to the south” said a spokesman. Critics say if they had agreed to remain for the further 15 minutes a shorter route would not have been needed.
Play while you wait
Frequent travelling families will be delighted at the news that the Tenerife south airport will soon have a children’s play area in the departure lounge.
According to Turismo de Tenerife contracts have now been awarded and monies awarded for a new information office and a play area. The tourism office will be located outside the arrivals area, geared to help those who have just landed, and will be, according to the authorities, “a state of the art kiosk”, with a video wall, a number of multimedia info points, and computers for visitors (avoiding queues to ask questions of an individual staffing the desk). The children’s area will be in the departures area and designed for children from three to 12 years of age, with a range of different toys, and free access.
Three wheels on their wagons…
Car problems for PDLA police
Police in Playa de Las Américas could end up with no patrol vehicles soon if money is not spent on maintenance for the existing ones, a police union has warned.
The Spanish Police Confederation says it has complained repeatedly to the authorities that poor maintenance, particularly the failure to buy spare parts, has already seen many of the patrol cars sidelined for long periods. “Only three of the usual 13 patrol cars at Playa de Las Américas are operational. Forensics do not even have one in working order for their work. We are seeing a repeat here of what has been happening in La Laguna, where officers had to patrol entirely on foot for a time because there were no cars” said a union spokesman.
Tourist board
November connections
The new direct scheduled flight from Paris to Tenerife begins on 4 November, airline Air Europe has confirmed.
Seen by the Tenerife Tourist Board as crucial to attracting more French holidaymakers, the route will operate twice-weekly (Thursdays and Sundays) between Paris Orly and Tenerife South, with a flight time of four hours. Coinciding with the launch, external promotion staff from the island’s Cabildo, accompanied by the managers of almost twenty hotels, held information sessions in the French capital for local travel agents and travel writers.
Route row
Air traffic controllers in Tenerife have strenuously denied allegations that they forced the plane carrying the body of ex-President Adán Martin to divert to Tenerife South Airport after refusing to remain at their desks for the extra 15 minutes needed for the aircraft to land in Tenerife North.
Reina Sofía
The Board hopes the frequency of the flights will increase to five per week if passenger traffic targets are met in the early months.

Tourist Bus details Living San Miguel announced British Consul stand
The British Consulate hosted an information stand at the recently held Exodus multi-cultural event in San Miguel, under their own multi-lingual banner, ‘Vivir en España, Living San Miguel. Staff from the Consulate were on hand with leaflets and information for the growing number of British residents living in San Miguel and told Island Connections that this kind of integrated involvement with local councils was a good tool for getting relevant information to people registered in different parts of the island. They also said that they were looking at the possibility of future events in conjunction with councils in other areas that boasted a large ex-pat population, such as Adeje, Arona or Santiago del Teide. During the afternoon visitors were able to chat at length to members of the Consulate staff and no doubt enjoy the many colourful cultural events that were taking place at the same time.
Santa Cruz’s new Tourist Bus service will run every 20 minutes and users will be able to hop on and off along the route as they please.
Details of the bus, which is expected to enter service in a few months time, were announced at the opening of bids submitted by firms interested in securing the tender for the city route. The successful firm will be obliged to allocate at least two open topped buses to the service, which will take in most of Santa Cruz’s sights, historic buildings and main streets. Passengers will be able to follow explanations of what they are seeing in several languages thanks to an audio system of the type used in major cities such as London and Madrid. The bus is the flagship element of the council’s renewed drive to raise the profile of the capital and attract more day-visits by tourists.

tax evasion
Clampdown of tax evasion should be ramped up says IMF fiscal chief By Bill Blevins, Financial Correspondent, Blevins Franks
A
s I have reported on in previous Island Connections articles, local governments, the G20 and the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) have all been taking increasingly successful steps to prevent tax evasion.
Now the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has called for the global crackdown on tax evasion to be intensified. The director of the IMF’s fiscal affairs department, Carlo Cottarelli, said this was necessary in order to guarantee that measures to cut countries’ public debt are fair to all taxpayers. He also called for an independent international body to be set up to help fight tax evasion and co-ordinate tax policy. A repor t on Long-Term Trends in Public Finances in the G-7 Economies, written by Cottarelli and senior economist
Andrea Schaechter, reflected, “an equitable adjustment will require a more energetic fight against tax evasion and erosion, both nationally and internationally. The recent initiatives undertaken to fight tax havens are an important development in this respect. But more coordination is needed among tax administrations of various countries and among tax policies in a globalised economy. Maybe it is time to revive the idea of a World Tax Organisation to address these co-ordination issues”. Governments, whether in the UK, here in Spain or elsewhere, all need to increase their tax revenues, possibly more now than ever. In an IMF Survey Magazine article entitled: Moving Public Debt onto a Sustainable Path, it states that, “the global economic crisis has eroded the government coffers of advanced economies and countries will need to return debt levels to a sustainable path to manage fiscal risks, foster long-term growth, and create jobs in the coming years.” Illustrating the severity of
Governments have underestimated future healthcare costs
debt that governments need to finance, the IMF reported that general government debt in the G20 advanced economies surged from 78 per cent of GDP in 2007 to 97 per cent in 2009 and is projected to rise to 115 per cent in 2015. The IMF advised that governments needed to, “clearly define their fiscal plans for the
long-term, including pensions and healthcare reforms”. The report warned that, as a result of ageing populations, “healthcare reform will be the fiscal challenge of the twentyfirst century,” for developed economies, and that governments are vastly underestimating the amount their spending on healthcare will rise over the
next 20 years. The European Commission calculates that spending will rise by 0.8 per cent over the next two decades, but Cottarelli points out that when the increasing cost of state healthcare is added in, the increase in government spending will be around three per cent of GDP. Increasing their tax collec-
tions, whether by implementing new initiatives to trace and prevent tax evasion or hiking tax rates, would help governments create, “fiscal space” to help accommodate the ever increasing costs of their ageing populations. The global crackdown on tax evasion is destined to get even tougher. Speaking to a tax and wealth management adviser like Blevins Franks will give you peace of mind that your tax planning is both fully legitimate and designed to minimise your current and future tax liabilities in Spain as much as possible.

I
f you have never seen whales and dolphins in their natural habitat, a trip to see them in the waters surrounding Tenerife is guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes. With plenty to choose from, why is an excursion on the MustCat so different? Justin Muscat, the man behind it all explains why. He hails from Malta and oozes ‘old school’ British style. He left Malta for the UK at the age of 12 and attended Downside school in Somerset, run by Benedictine monks. Five years on, he attended Sandhurst before spending eight years in the British army which included three official tours to Northern Ireland (bear in mind he is a Catholic). At Downside he met a Tenerife boy who became a friend for life. He introduced Justin to Tenerife and they remain best friends having run many different types of businesses together, acted as Godfathers to each other’s sons and been best man at each other’s weddings.
When Justin came to Tenerife there was a massive gap in the market, only one catamaran offered whale and dolphin trips. The business began in 2000 with the decision to offer a more personalised service while the naming of the catamarans came easily, with the insertion of one letter in Justin’s surname. The business ran well until 2007 when they sold it. In 2009, the purchasers went bankrupt and Justin managed to retrieve one of the catamarans and start again. Justin feels comfortable on the island and loves to be close to the sea. He says, “the great thing about Tenerife is that if you are prepared to do things just that bit better, there is a niche for you….. I do business in a very British way, people pay for our product and deserve good standards”. They do everything in-house, including the catering, and have a fantastic well paid crew with the potential to earn more. “The human spirit needs to know that there are ways to progress”, says Justin who believes strongly in hands-on management and added, “working in tourism is not a job, you need to see it as a way of life”.
He knows that internet has changed tourism and will continue to do so. In 2000 his core business was from tour operators, “they will always be important, they are the first focal point and have direct access to the clients”, he comments. He thinks that in time, tour operators will bring 35 per cent of all excursion business here and that the rest will be booked direct. “For us, the market from now on is Eastern Europe. The Berlin Wall came down in 1989 and we are now in the next generation. They all speak English and the Canary Islands to them are what the Caribbean was to us 35 years ago”. He told us that this summer, the MustCat did five out of every 14 trips with the commentary solely in Polish, two a week in German, and the rest were for other languages. Of the crisis, Justin says, “we had a fantastic summer following a drastic winter when the people were here but the good weather wasn’t. Some bars and restaurants have had a bad summer with so many hotels of fering all-inclusive deals. More of that and we will lose those businesses, which many people love”. Justin feels that the government focuses too much on the big picture, and fails to consider the local businesses. Speaking of the future, Justin feels there is no reason why we cannot continue to pick up, but wonders how the Spanish government will handle issues like strikes, and what will be the effect of the new British government’s money saving schemes. “I doubt that we’ll ever get back to the levels of 2000, but with a bit of hard work and dedication we can have a good lifestyle”.

Maternity leave
20 weeks on full pay M
embers of the European Parliament have just voted in favour of draft legislation which could extend mandatory maternity leave in the EU up to 20 weeks.
Tenerife
Crime down
Interior ministry officials used Spain’s national holiday on October 12th, which coincides with the annual celebration of the patron of the Civil Guard, to announce improved crime statistics for Tenerife. José Antonio Batista announced during the commemoration in Santa Cruz that crime had fallen in the province by over eight per cent during the first nine months of this year, continuing the downward trend recorded in 2009. The head of the Civil Guard in the Canaries, General Miguel Martínez, added that the fall had been accompanied by a substantial increase in successful criminal investigations by the force, resulting in a higher prosecution and conviction rate.
TINSA
Property prices still falling
Property prices continue to fall in the Canaries, according to the latest report by Spain’s biggest valuer. Prices fell by an average of 4.2 per cent in September, slightly less than the five per cent figure recorded across the country as a whole, says TINSA. The latest fall means that the average selling price in the Canaries is now almost 16 per cent below the figure for December 2007, when the property market was at its peak. According to TINSA, the situation is considerably worse on the Mediterranean coast, where the value of holiday homes and tourist accommodation has dropped by 25 per cent since the end of 2007
New flight
To Russia with love
An additional flight will be operating once a week into Saint Petersburg from December 26th, doubling the weekly flight option with this city. Tour operators, Soltur, Akademia and Vam Tour will each be offering seats on the latest 180 seater plane. Last year Tenerife welcomed 67,987 Russian tourists.
IMF
Recovery progressing According to the International Monetary Fund’s latest report Regional Economic Outlook (REO) for Europe, recovery has been boosted by the resurgence of the world economy, with export growth especially strong in countries that export capital goods. However, the recovery is sluggish and projected growth rates are low by historical standards.
There was opposition to the extension from some parliamentary groups, but an earlier attempt to limit the extension to 18 weeks, a proposal supported
by the European Commission, was rejected. According to sources, UK business leaders were among those lobbying against the change, arguing that such a move could cost them almost €3 billion extra a year. However the legislation cannot become law unless EU governments back it too, and at the moment there is not unanimous support for the move.
At the moment working mothers in Spain are entitled to 16 consecutive paid weeks, with the minimum in the EU set at 14 weeks, though some countries, such as Ireland (26 weeks on full maternity benefit with the right to 16 weeks additional of unpaid maternity leave), or Sweden (all working parents are entitled to 16 months paid leave per child) are more generous. In the
UK leave current entitlements allow women to take up to 12 month’s maternity leave, with the just first six weeks on 90 per cent pay followed by 33 weeks on Statutory Maternity Pay of just under £125 a week. Other Central European countries (the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Slovakia) offer mothers paid time off of between one and three years, though rates of pay and amounts differ.

Privacy
Guest blacklist A privacy watchdog has called for a government inquiry after a Bristol company started a website to list UK hotel clients who have caused problems in the past. Sadly all hotels have had their problem clients. There are couples who fight and disturb others or damage rooms and guests who leave without paying, or constantly bedwet after drinking too much. One hotelier
we know was called to account by a customer with children after reading a notice which said that dogs were welcomed at his establishment and children accepted. His answer was that he was yet to meet a dog that drew on the walls or put the towels down the toilet. The new site, GuestScan.co.uk, means that hoteliers can check if people who have booked with them have caused trouble elsewhere. Hoteliers are encouraged to share their experiences of the clients, in much the same way as clients share their experiences of the hotels in well known and fully accepted websites, but the privacy group claim the site is,”despicable” and “probably illegal”. The site was expected to have 10,000 members before it had been in operation a month. Basil Fawlty would have approved.
Air traffic controllers
Make strikes illegal Airline companies have called on European politicians to make it illegal for air traffic controllers to strike. EasyJet announced that recent European strikes, including Spain, will cost it some £6 million in compensation and Ryanair claim 1,400 of their flights this year have been cancelled and a further 12,000 delayed causing problems for over 2.5 million passengers. Threatening legal action against Belgocontrol following their recent wildcat strikes, Ryanair chief, Michael O’Leary asserted that, “striking ATC staff are the modern equivalent of highwaymen.

benefiting from the normalisation of the northern European weather and the shift to larger companies after the fallout in the summer of some of the smaller operators to bankruptcy. Booking volumes from all source markets have accelerated in recent weeks for winter 2010/11 and the summer 2011 trading has also started well with a five per cent increase on sales to date over 2010 from the UK.
The Foreign Office and US government have warned tourists that there is a, “high threat” of terrorist attacks in European countries, including France and Germany, but tour operators are suggesting that the advice be ignored.
New tax
The warnings were issued after intelligence agencies learned of a new Al Qaida plot but Tom Jenkins, executive director of ETOA (European Tour Operators Association) claimed that Europe is still a safe destination for visitors. Despite the messages of calm, flight comparison websites said that searches had already lessened in the light of the warnings.
Visitors to Cologne are faced with an increase in their hotel bill of five per cent for a new culture tax.

Culture vulture surcharge The move has been slammed by tour operators who claim that no-one seems to know how it should work. The five per cent tax should be charged on accommodation but hotels are still unaware of whether that is before or after VAT, even though it was introduced at the beginning of October. They are also unclear how to charge when guests have booked through a third party such as a tour operator. Tour operators also claim that problems are going to arise with people who have prepaid their holiday, particularly those who are travelling all inclusive. News of the additional tax was not announced until September 9, three weeks before it was supposed to be implemented and some establishments still seem to be unaware of its existence.

Dear Dr. De La Flor Dear Dr. De La Flor, I have sinusitis often, should I take medications ever y time the secretions turn yellow? Does coloured mucus always mean infection? Sincerely, Ed Ask your GP whether you should get the vaccine or not
Dear Ed,
they’re not so good for thick mucus in general since they dry you up and they make the mucus thick, and often the opposite effect happens because you feel like you have thick mucus. So you take more decongestants and get into a vicious mucus-producing cycle. Decongestants also have side effects, which include dizziness, nervousness, and high blood pressure.
Mucus-producing tissue lines the mouth, nose, sinuses, thr oat, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. Mucus acts as a protective blanket, preventing the tissue underneath from drying out. It also acts as a sort of flypaper, trapping dust and bacteria/ virus. It contains antibodies and protein to make it gooey, stringy and inhospitable to invaders. The yellow or green hue isn’t due to bacteria but a greenish-coloured enzyme produced by neutrophils cells (sort of cops!) during a cold. Still, you can have perfectly clear mucus and have a terrible ear and sinus infection. If you do have an infection, you’ll likely also have other symptoms, such as congestion, fever, and pressure in your face.
Antihistamines block or limit the action of histamines, those substances triggered by allergic reactions that cause the tissue in the nose to swell up and release more, thinner mucus (a runny nose). You can also thin out the mucus with Guaifenesin, a type of medicine called an expectorant. Thinner mucus is easier to get out of the body. Possible side effects are dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
Decongestants cause the blood vessels in the lining of the nose to narrow, reducing blood flow to the area, so you’re less congested and you produce less mucus. They are fine for when you can’t breathe due to a cold, but
An alternative for removing mucus is with nasal irrigation. Nasal irrigation is a good thing, but as the old saying goes, it is possible to have too much of a good thing. If done too often it might actually increase the risk

of infection because it also washes away some of the protective substances that help prevent you from getting sick.
Dear Dr. De La Flor, Since it is autumn I have to ask, should I get the flu vaccine? Sincerely, Barbara
Dear Barbara, Everybody can benefit from the flu vaccine, especially the people that actually need it! It
is a personal option, especially indicated or recommended to people with impaired immune systems or certain chronic conditions. Honestly, aside from the specific highrisks groups, most people don’t need it. Obviously, pharmaceutical companies do not like this opinion of mine. Some key concepts to remember: After a dose of flu vaccine, it takes at least a week to become immune. So it is possible if you are exposed to flu to get sick before the vaccine has a chance to work. It gives people the impression the vaccine caused the flu. And the way people use it, ‘flu’ is not a specific term. People have different ideas of what flu is. Other kinds of viral infections can cause a flulike illness, but it is not flu. And influenza vaccine will not protect against that. Keep in mind that the flu shot cannot produce a flu infection. It is dead, it’s just protein. The flu virus changes all the time. Last year’s vaccine is not like this year’s vaccine. There are three dif ferent viruses that can cause flu. Vaccines that protect against each one are included in the three in one seasonal flu vaccine. Unfortunately, being immune to one of last year’s viruses may not protect you against this year’s virus. It is a constant job of catch-up. And there probably is some waning of immunity over time, too, particularly with the shots. If you really had the
notorious 2009 flu during the pandemic, you probably are immune to the H1N1 swine flu. But there are other infections that can mimic influenza, and it could be some other virus that made you sick. Not all infections that act like flu are necessarily flu. If you went through having the 2009 H1N1 swine flu, you certainly don’t want to get sick again. And there’s a bonus for people who had an H1N1 infection last year: It will boost their immune response to the H1N1 component of the seasonal vaccine, and they will get additional immunity from the other two components of the vaccine. Ask your GP, he/she knows your medical history and therefore your specific Dr. De La Flor, licensed G.P.

His medical approach is highly influenced by Positive Psychology; an empowering, encompassing way of approaching patients through the study of their strengths and vir tues to enable them to thrive and lead fulfilling lives, accept the past, find happiness in the present, and hope for the future.

Natural rhythms
N
atural rhythms are found for almost every biological function we have; sleep and alertness, body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, the production of hormones and digestive secretions...
The major source of mental alertness comes from deep within the brain, from the master circadian pacemaker that controls key internal rhythms within us. ‘Circadian’ refers to a biological rhythm that repeats itself approximately every 24 hours. Our moods as well as our mental energy are also monitored by this biological clock or pacemaker. When we vandalise our body our body enters into an internal desynchronisation, a feeling of malaise or jet-lag-like mood that affects our physical, mental and emotional performance. For maximum performance, our biological rhythms should be as finely tuned as a Formula 1 race car.
Resolution:
For the next two weeks, let’s try to pamper our natural rhythms by striking a balance between work and family, family and leisure, eating habits, fun and moderation … soon we’ll be building healthy, empowering habits that will make our lifestyle be more productive and effective.
Health service
Staff shortages
he president of the doctor’s union in the T Canaries, Isidro Rexach,
has warned that the service currently needs 1,300 qualified staff.
The Canarian doctors’ union warns that the health cuts proposed by the Canarian Department of Health for 2011 will mean a serious deterioration in the health services of the archipelago. Rexach indicated that the budget cut of €285 million will mean the, “paralysing” of the necessary new contracts to keep up minimum services, contracts which are even more important given that the current numbers of health professionals are, he insists, deficient. The president went on to denounce that in spite of the serious staff deficiency, the Health Service has only contracted one doctor in the first six months of the year when there has been a significant increase in the number of people registering for health care. “This means an overload for the doctors who have to attend to a higher number of patients and which next year will get even worse,” he declared. The doctors claim that the 10 per cent cut in spending will also mean that the opening of new health centres and non-hospital local emergency facilities will be frozen as well as blocking improvements in working conditions which had already been agreed. Island Connections sources claim that there are not enough medical specialists in the Canaries to man the services we now have and even less for further improvements and expansions and if working conditions remain the same we are very unlikely to attract any additional quality staff to the islands. All of which make the opening possibilities for the new hospitals in the North and South of Tenerife look very distant prospects indeed.

While in Ireland and the UK there are growing movements to encourage a move back to more natural childbirth methods, use of birthing pools, promoting the skill of midwifery in assisting at births, and encouraging women to participate in the decisions surrounding where and how they would feel most comfortable delivering their child, here in Spain there’s a lot of catching up to do. Too often still the doctor in the delivery room is considered the most important person there (not the child, not the mother), and his or her schedule will dictate how the birth will proceed. According to practicing Chiropractor and board certified Craniopath Luke Ramsay, more and more children are presenting these days with problems linked directly to their birth. He explains that during the process of the actual delivery the babies head/ skull is still mobile, is a series of cranial plates, and in fact naturally overlaps during birth to facilitate the baby’s departure from the uterus. However if there is intervention, such as a forceps delivery, use of a suction cap, use of an epidural or induced labour, or the mother has suffered an extended labour or an emergency caesarean, the natural process is interrupted and the cranial plates may not rest back into place, causing definite problems, often very early on in the child’s life. Of the resultant problems the one Luke sees most often is Colic, a condition which leaves many parents in a state of utter despair, which can last for up to a year, and which general med-

head on! ical practitioners will generally say they cannot treat. Luke can and with almost instant results. If your birth history included some form of intervention, and your child is crying, inconsolable, pulling his knees up to his or her head, arching the head back and tends to feed more easily on one side as opposed to the other, these are, says Luke, classic signs, and he can help. He states that in most cases there is a noticeable improvement after one visit, and the problem cured after three or four sessions. Another area that he is treating as a Craniopath is ‘gluey ear’, problems linked to ear, nose and throats, problems that lead to recurring medical conditions that see the child being prescribed antibiotics over and over again, such as ongoing tonsillitis, nose or ear infections. In general Luke finds that these problems are directly linked to a structural problem with the head, and he can help the child to the ex-
tent that surgical intervention is unnecessary. In fact Luke says that the placement of grommets in children’s ears is one of the most common reasons today for using a general anesthetic on children, but in a huge proportion of these cases surgery could be avoided with gentle manipulation. Luke’s practice is based in Palm Mar, just opposite CC Muelle de Génova (he was previously in El Madroñal), but he also has a patient list back in the UK. He is also involved in
teaching craniopath methodology to those already qualified in the field of chiropractice. Surprisingly Spain is one of the few countries that has still to recognise chiropractic as an official branch of medicine, but this is changing. Luke has a full medical background, and will also refer your child for alternative or conventional forms of treatment if he feels he is not the right person to help. So either way you can be happy that your child’s needs are what comes first.

hen we were growing up the only time you ever saw or heard of a pumpkin was at Halloween, and if you were lucky enough to get your hands on one, it was to be hollowed out and used for a jack-o-lantern, as we had seen our North American brethren doing on the television. Alternatively, for those of us fans of Peanuts, we delighted in the tales of Linus and his endearing wait for the Great Pumpkin, who never shows. Nowadays, and particularly here in Spain, pumpkins, while not quite ‘two a penny’ are available in shops all year around, and are sold in halves and quarters as often a whole pumpkin would be too much for smaller families or individuals. Pumpkin is a

arm Brack is a traditional Irish fruit cake eaten at Halloween. This recipe is for tea brack, something I remember my Grandmother making at all times of the year, and happily is a recipe that even I can follow with few accidents. The trick is, I think, choosing a good strong tea, and let the fruit soak well before making the cake. The other important elements are, or course, the small ‘surprises’ to be found in the cake. A pea/thimble means you won’t marry this year, a small stick means you’ll have problems with your spouse, a
delicious alternative to carrots or potatoes in soups and stews, and is very much part of the staple Canarian diet. However, given its sweeter flavour, pumpkin is also popular in desserts, particularly in the United States. However at Halloween it’s all about image, so the trusty pumpkin comes into its own as the jack-o-lantern. But carving out a pumpkin may not be as easy as it seems. Here are a few beginner’s tips. Cut off the top, making sure to cut at a 45 degree angle so the lid will have a place to sit, otherwise it will fall through. Make the hole large enough to place your hand through with ease, as you will have to clean out the pumpkin and be able to place a lit candle at the bottom. Using a spoon scrape out the pumpkin, removing flesh and

piece of cloth, bad luck, a coin, good luck or wealth, and the ring means you will wed within the year. These are not essential, but do add to the fun and were very much part of our Halloween tea, everyone dreading the pea or the stick and in raptures if they were lucky enough to get the ring. These additional elements are best wrapped in a small piece of waxed baking paper.

seeds, and do make sure the bottom is flat for the candle when complete. If this is your first time select a simple, bold pattern – next year you can become more adventurous. Either stencil it first onto paper and then trace that pattern onto the pumpkin with a pin, or, picking the flattest side of the pumpkin, draw the face in crayon and then carve it out. The best and safest way of lighting the candle would probably be a small torch, but for that flickering effect, a small votive candle is best, and if it can be placed inside a clear glass candle holder, even better. It goes without saying, the pumpkin shouldn’t be placed near flammable materials or where small hands can reach in and try and touch the flame.
Ingredients • 450g raisins, currants, sultanas • 55g sliced cherries/mixed peel • 110g brown sugar • 110g white sugar • 400g flour • 450ml black tea • 1 egg • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Method 1. Place the dried fruits in a bowl and cover with the tea and leave overnight to soak until the fruit is plump and juicy.
2. The next day add the cherries, sugar and egg and mix well. Sieve in the flour and baking powder and combine well. If the dough seems too dry you can always add another drop of tea. 3. Line two cake tins 25x38x6.5cm and divide the mixture between the two. Bake at 180 ºC for 60-70 minutes.
4. Barm brack is best served with a nice cup of tea and friends. It’s also very delicious eaten toasted with butter.

HalloweenSpecial

Get your Fright Night right! I
t’s close to midnight, and if something evil is lurking in the air it means just one thing – it’s time to head down to Carolan and make sure your dark side is catered for this Halloween. Who said this festival was for kids only? Just a few minutes in Carolan will convince you that this is Thriller time for all, ghoulfriends galore. For a perfect fright night Carolan will provide you with absolutely everything you need to decorate your home or bar, with ghostly and bloody figures ready to pop up at every corner, skulls, dripping fingers and jars of eerie eyes, rats, spiders, goblins and ghosts, witches and vampires, as well as a life-size homage to the King of Pop himself. They also have everything for the Halloween host, tablecloths, plates, cups and napkins, grisly candlestick holders, the most disgusting place settings you can imagine, and more fun and freaky party pieces than you’d find in a vampire’s crypt. Make up and Halloween jewellery as well as all sorts of extras (blood capsules, empty eye sockets, fangs and finishes) and a range of costumes that will make your blood run cold. The latter are for all ages, from
the very very young to the creakingly old, fun, frivolous, sexy and/or very very scary… the choice is yours.
To find your nearest Carolan see the ad on this page, or visit their website, www. carolantenerife.com, and get ready for a killer, thriller night.
Mare Nostrum/ Bloody weekend
Dare you dine at the Marco Antonio Palace this Halloween?
It’s behind you…
T
he Marco Antonio Palace hotel becomes the spot for terror tourism over the Halloween weekend, with
three days of bloody great happenings for guests. Among the themed dinners will be a birthday party for Count Dracula, and a Heaven
and Hell dinner. Guests will need to be looking behind them for pretty much the duration of their stay, and the weekend will also include a pumpkin carving competition, a theatrical make-up workshop and a Texas chainsaw massacre, or paintball battle, all in and around the grounds of the hotel which is part of the Mare Nostrum Resort.

Tenerife 40 Pop The Concert
T
he fourth edition of Tenerife 40 Pop, organised by the national radio station 40 Principales, will take place at the Recinto Ferial, Santa Cruz on October 30 from 8pm. As usual, more than ten international artists will take to the stage. Joan Sutherland
1926-2010 Born in Australian 1926 of Scottish parents, this opera star was known to her fans as La Stupenda. Dame Joan shared a stage with some of the greatest voices of the 20th century. She died in Switzerland on October 10th.
The Beer:
The four-hour concert is to start one hour earlier than in previous editions and will coincide with the long holiday weekend, Todos Los Santos, hopefully attracting people of all ages not only from Tenerife, but from other islands, mainland Spain and other countries too. The list of participating artists remains open, but so far it is known that ex-member of the group El Canto del Loco, El Pescao, and Spanish groups Pol 3,14 and Funambulista will be taking part. Getting the audience up on their feet will be Robert Ramirez, author of Sick of Love, and Jolie, who will be accompanied by the warm voice of German singer Oceana. The Canarian scene will be represented by the groups La Vieja Morla and Brixtol Tapes, and to keep the party atmosphere going there will be go-go dancers and some capoeira (Brazilian samba). As well as providing a great night’s entertainment, Tenerife 40 Pop will be donating part of the funds collected to the Fundación Loro Parque, an action which island president Ricardo Melchior said would, “put the island firmly on the map as regards awareness and conservation of species in danger of extinction”. Tickets are available from CajaCanarias and usual outlets.

Loro Parque
Killer whale birth
T
o Mrs Kohana, a son, 150 kilos and two metres long.
After a four hour labour attended and assisted by a team of veterinarians, biologists, her trainers and experts from the USA, eight year old Kohana gave birth to her first calf and the first of the new generation of orcas to be born at Loro Parque. For the experts, this is a confirmation of the standard of the facilities at the park which were especially built for them and of the care that the animals receive as animals which are not happy do not breed. The baby instinctively swam to the surface to take his first breath just after the birth, but unfortunately there seemed to
be no bonding with the mum, a common occurrence with other species too and the park specialists will have to take on part of the burden of its care. The first few weeks will be cru-
cial to the calf’s development and present many challenges to all concerned. Loro Parque’s Orca Ocean has four trained orcas, all born in captivity.
Parasites
L
How to get rid of ticks
ike it or not, sometimes being a dog owner can mean doing slightly unpleasant things. Hopefully most of us are used to picking up poop, but the extraction of ticks from our dogs can still be a bit of a trial.
Loro Parque
Alicia&theOtters
Murphi & Khali are the two otters at Loro Parque and they seem having a good time by the look of it
But there are rules to follow to make sure the removal is done properly. Examine your dog’s skin carefully, running your hands over the skin, checking in hidden crevices, and where there is little hair, like ears. You may wish to wear latex gloves.
Pets Portrait
Accion Del Sol
New homes
Via Accion Del Sol some lucky dogs have been finding homes in Germay. Two dogs who flew over recently had been in the refuge about six months but are now with new carers, and are no doubt reveling in their new circumstances.
Accion Del Sol work to care for abandoned dogs and match them with new owners. They are open from Monday to Friday, 3-6pm and everybody is welcome to come and view this amazing facility or to walk a dog or two. Accion Del Sol is situated at Exit 51 on the TF1; follow the signs for ITER the Eolica windmill farm and the refuge is directly under the windmills. Marion can be contacted on 922 778 630.
Have a pair of tweezers at hand to grasp the offending insect, which should be done as close to the skin as possible. Don’t squeeze the tick or attempt to burn it out (a remedy recommended in the past), as you could cause infections to be released back into your pet. Instead pull the parasite straight out, without twisting. Flush the tick away, or if you are concerned about infection you may wish to place it in a jar and keep it for analysis at the vets, though there are few reports in the Canary Islands
Grosny
about ongoing infections once the tick is removed. If some of the tick appears to have remained in the skin don’t attempt to get it out with a needle as this may push it further in. If you can still grab it with the tweezers do so, but in general this part should fall off by itself. Cleanse the area where the tick was removed with soap and water. If you do see ongoing irritation around the zone bring the dog to your vet. Once removed it’s a good idea to prevent further infection by using one of the recommended anti parasite solutions, in drop, spray or powder form.

Foodideas
Fatto per te Made for you
T
his new, soon to be international, restaurant chain offers quickly prepared, Michelin-star quality, Italian style cuisine at a budget price.
The first of the restaurants has just opened in the Carrefour Meridiano Centre in Santa Cruz de Tenerife and initial impressions are of pale tones with a blend of steel,
blond wood and comfortable but chic white leather-effect seating. Further openings are due this year in Miami, Brazil and Tenerife’s Radazul. French chef, Francis Gabarrus, holder of a Michelin star for the last six years, has been brought in to use his acknowledged and incredible talents to design a menu which is made for you, before your very eyes, with style, flair, speed and the
kind of flavours your Italian Mamma used to make (if you had one). The name of the restaurant, Fatto per te, means just that, Made For You, and as you enter you are given a credit card style Fatto per te card. When you order, drinks, food etc. are ‘charged’ to your card and you simply hand it to the cash desk on your way out, paying the bill and wiping the card clean for the next customer. The secret of what looks
set to be a definite international success, is in using healthy, fresh and wherever possible local top quality products and blending them in the recipes created by Gabarrus to provide, according to owner, Luis Gil, “extraordinary and different flavours at affordable prices.” The menu includes a fabulous selection of salads from just €4.90 which alongside traditional salad ingredients offers Italian favourites such as rocket, pine nuts and pistachios topped with croutons, parmesan, mozzarella, giant prawns, tuna, chicken or salmon. Pasta dishes also start at just €4.90 and over a selection of fresh pasta the home made sauces include intriguing blends such as a walnut pesto, Genovesse with basil, pine nuts, garlic and parsley and chicken tapenade with aubergine, olives and anchovies. Large pizzas are on offer from just €5.90 and cooked to perfection in less than five minutes using a special pizza oven. Even the standard recipes such as the four cheese pizza have received a Fatto per te twist with the addition in this case of tomato confit and the house specials are spectacular including for example, ingredients such as fresh cream, prawns, aubergines, olives, fresh salmon, baby spinach and a cream of dill. Desserts are just €2.90 and you can choose between panetone, tiramisu and panna cotta with strawberry jam. Drinks on offer include a choice from their compact and reasonably priced wine menu, the local Dorada beer and Peroni, as well as soft drinks and superb coffee. Fatto per te, is open noon to midnight, 365 days a year and is sure to become one of the ‘in’ places to eat and chill out wherever they open. Why not visit Santa Cruz and be one of the first to try out an entirely new eating experience, you are sure to become a regular.

Fish deals
T
he supermarket chain Altesa is currently offering 50 per cent off the cost of up to two kilos of fish or shellfish if you spend €20 or more on dried and tinned goods in the store.
We used the bargain offer to buy two kilos of baby cuttlefish (chipirones) for just €2. They were defrosted rather than fresh but still excellent value. If you wish to stuff cuttlefish of any size you should buy them fresh or frozen and defrost them yourself. Fresh cuttlefish are rounded and slightly puffed out, whilst the frozen variety are flat. This dish freezes well once prepared.
Baby cuttlefish
Ingredients • 4 tbl olive oil
• 2 kg chipirones
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 clove of garlic, crushed • 1 medium ripe tomato, chopped
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 glass dry white wine • 2 sachets of squid ink • Salt to taste
• 1/2 level tsp sweet paprika
Preparation 1. Clean the chipirones thoroughly. Separating the legs from the bodies and cutting into two or three
sections and turning the bodies inside out and washing both sides before slicing into strips as if for a stir fry. 2. Fry the onion, garlic, bay leaves and tomato in the oil until soft. 3. Remove the bay leaves and set to one side. Put the remaining ingredients in a blender. The resulting paste will thicken the sauce. 4. Replace the bay leaves in the pan, add the rest of the ingredients and simmer until cooked through (about 30 minutes). 5. Add the vegetable paste and stir in to thicken for a couple of minutes until it too has reheated. 6. Serve

Isklar
Norwegian glacial purity A
new choice in bottled water is now on sale in Tenerife and soon will be available all over the Canaries via the distribution chain of Aguas de Vilaflor (owners of Fuentealta). Isklar, which means clear ice in Norwegian, comes from an artesian well under one of the largest glaciers in Norway, the Folgefonna. This immense, 6,000 years old glacier is protected from contamination as it lies in two national parks in the remote area of Hardanger in Norway, one of the countries with the least contamination in the world, meaning that Isklar is a mineral water of exceptional purity. The company also works hard to reduce the carbon
footprint of the production and distribution of the water to a minimum, using hydroelectric power for the packaging plant, loading at the foot of the glacier in the Hardanger fiord and using recyclable plastic. Although the well has been used as a source of drinking water since the 13th century and was even exported to London during the Victorian age, it wasn’t really commercialised until 2008, since when it has become one of the European water brands with the most market growth. In the UK it is already accepted as one of the leading brands. It’s low sodium levels makes it ideal for those who must follow a low sodium diet and for preparing children’s food and
the exceptionally smooth taste makes it perfect to accompany good food and wine as its purity means that its taste will not clash or conflict with the simplest or most complex of flavours. Peter Krogh, Isklar’s Chief Executive Officer, was recently in Tenerife for the launch of their product here and explained that the Canaries had been chosen as a first and important step towards the water’s possible launch in the Spanish peninsular as it is, “a mature market with the adequate criteria to appreciate the quality of bottled water”. Isklar comes supplied in six-packs of bottles of a half litre and one litre still water, and 975ml and 460ml bottles of fizzy water.

Palm tree pests

editorial@ic-news.com
we have some attention paid to our long suffering palm trees, which look disgusting. Anita Gómez
Dear Editor
I
, together with numerous residents in San Eugenio Alto, would love to know why the Adeje council ignores the state of the palm trees in our road, Calle Paises Bajos. There are several trees along this road which are close to our apartments, and they have not been trimmed or treated for pests for literally years. The result of this is that it is extremely difficult for us to maintain plants on our terraces as they quickly become infested with white fly. Also, we have to avoid parking our cars near these trees because they end up covered in a sticky mess. The gardens department of Adeje council make a wonderful job of maintaining all the local garden areas, but please can

ear after year we see the same fairground rides doing the rounds of the local fiestas. By the looks of them, apart from a lick of paint, very little maintenance seems to be carried out and even the local authorities seem to be unclear on whose responsibility it is to carry out safety checks. In
many European countries, including the UK, they would be unable to operate as they do no conform to legal safety standards. There, each support point would have to be set onto an adjustable jack and not onto bits of rotten trunks and crumbling breeze blocks. The generators pump out appalling smelling emissions which must surely be above the legal limit, but once again the local authorities seem unwilling to act. They of course receive money from the ride operators for the permission to operate in the particular towns, cash which is spent on the local fiestas.

Come on councillors, do the job you’re paid for and stop all the political infighting. If you don’t the ones who will suffer are those who you should be protecting most. Party pooper?

The Romans used to spend money on ‘bread and Circus’ to keep the population from worrying too much about the political comings and goings of their ‘betters’, here in Spain it is football and fiestas, and who cares if it’s unsafe – until there’s an accident and some child loses a limb or his or her life. Then it will be hands to heads and public weeping by

Hello everyone, I
sland Connections can confirm that this year’s Walk for Life will be on December 12th; and is a date to put into everyone’s diary. Last year was superb and the organisers hope that this year will be even better.
The fundraising has already begun, so anything we can do will be one step nearer to a cure. And why is fundraising so very important? Cancer Research U.K. is tremendously excited about new developments. Said their spokesman, “we are on the brink of a breakthrough. Thanks to the research into DNA, we can understand the shapes of the molecules in faulty cancer cells, and can design drugs to target them.” Every two minutes, someone is diagnosed with cancer, and one in four will die from the disease. In the past, the only options were surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, but now genetic technology is changing the old ideas of treatment and could revolutionize the battle against this terrible disease. Cancer is the genetic mutation in the D.N.A. of a cell which causes that cell to multiply and develop into a tumour. There are over two hundred forms of cancer that affect different organs. But the newest method of treatment is to personalise it according to their genetic mutation. It’s a targeted treatment with drugs aimed at the tumour itself which is already producing some amazing results. Cancer Research U.K. are not saying it’s the cure for all cancers, but the hope is that this personalised treatment will, in the not too distant future, make cancer a manageable condition instead of an early death sentence. Channel Four recently highlighted the case of an 87 year old man who was diagnosed with an aggressive and inoperable form of lung cancer. He was being treated at University College Hospital’s Oncology department, and they took a genetic profile of the tumour. They then designed a drug to target his cancer cells directly. As only the cancer cells are attacked, the treatment doesn’t in any way affect the quality of his life. After only six weeks, the tumour was shown to have slowed its growth dramatically, and without surgery, or chemotherapy and their terrible pain and side effects, he can enjoy his time with his family. Modern thinking calls cancer a genetic disease, and treats it accordingly. Obviously, this will take time, as only certain drugs have been developed so far, and many are still in the trial stage, but the message is that with funding and the hard work of scientists, the disease can be brought under control until a final cure can be found so that our loved ones may be spared the pain and the early death so many families have had to cope with. So put your thinking caps on, and come up with a way to raise some cash to bring to the Walk on December the 12th. If every person who walks on that day raises even €10, there will be thousands to add to the total, towards treatment and research and alleviating the physical and mental symptoms of the disease for patients and their families. I’d love to hear of your plans and any events you are hosting, and you can reach me anytime on 616 110 930 or email me at katykennedy@telefonica.net. Next issue, I’ll have news of the funniest birthday parties I’ve been to, and more local news. Until then, take care of yourselves, and especially of each other.

The future of television F
orget aerials, forget satellite dishes, big and small, the future of television has arrived in Tenerife and is available now to anyone with an Internet connection speed of at least 3MB. New technology moves apace and Premier Communications, as always, are right on the ball. Thanks to improvements in the island’s internet infrastructure, they can now offer Internet
Provider TV via two new boxes that supply English television direct to your TV at home via broadband. Whether your preferred channel is the Beeb or ITV, you love sports, films or documentaries; there is something in the package here for you and all of your family. Out and about enjoying this lovely island? You will never miss your favourite programmes again. With this new system you can watch
programmes up to seven days after they have been screened. And, if the weather gets rough, the TV keeps going, totally unaffected by whatever the heavens can throw at it. Another advantage, if your existing television can’t cope with Digital Terrestrial Television, the HDMI cable box version can also decode those signals too so that you can also watch the DTT channels available here. If you’re worried about too many
buttons and complications – don’t. The new boxes need no special installation, they don’t need a computer, just the broadband connection; simply plug in and play.

brands, such as Samsung and Pioneer televisions, 3-D televisions and projectors all at tempting prices. They have an easy to find office underneath the Hotel Conquistador in Playa de las Américas.

The office is open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tel : 922 793172 for more information. Call in for a free demonstration or try it out at home

Plain Sailing…. T
hat’s it. You’ve decided: you’re going on a cruise! You’ve always wanted to, and this is the year you’re going for it. Then the demons start whispering in your ear, sowing seeds of doubt.
“A cruise? You? You’re too old!” “A cruise with young children, are you insane?” “You can’t afford it.” In the end you back out, and, literally, miss the boat. At Tenerife Sunshine, they’ve heard it all before, and guess what: none of it is true. Cruises are amazing fun, no matter what your age or personal circumstances. At least they are when you book them with Tenerife Sunshine! All it takes is a little time to match your needs and wishes to the cruise that suits you. For example, some cruise liners encourage you to bring your littluns by offering services such as a toy-swap library, parent and child exercise classes and crèche facility so you can enjoy a romantic dinner while your bub sleeps soundly. Teens are more than catered for too, with sports clubs, video games lounges and discos. Customers watching their wallet will find a selection of very affordable

“We met Saloni at Tenerife Sunshine last year. Her advice was spot on, and she found exactly what we were after. The best bit was we could board in Tenerife; it made life so much easier!” cruises, in fact cruise liners offer such a fabulous range of facilities and on-board entertainment that you might forget to get off and look around the destinations you’re visiting. Cruises really do cater for everyone. Everything you can think of – and some things you’d never believe – can be found on board, depending on which ship you go for: from casinos and night clubs to shops and spas, hairdressers to cinemas and rock climbing walls to surf simulators. Yes, surf simulators. Following the overwhelming success of their Cruise Open Day
last year, which saw them inundated with hundreds of eager customers, this year Tenerife Sunshine have set aside a period from now until the end of November, which they’re dedicating to offering clients personal consultations with their cruise specialists. All you have to do is phone them on 922 751 867 or email info@tenerifesunshine.com, book your appointment, then go in for a relaxed chat and a cuppa and tell them what you’re looking for. From the information you give them, and just from spending some quality time getting to know you, they’ll put together your
dream cruise: the length you want, visiting the destinations you’d like to see, for a price you can afford. Everyone attending will automatically be entered into a grand draw, with some amazing prizes including a free Royal Caribbean cruise plus many more unbelievable prizes! All of the Tenerife Sunshine consultants have sampled cruises themselves and have invaluable first-hand experience as to the wide variety of cruise types available. But most importantly, they listen to you, to your needs – because it’s your cruise, not theirs, and because they care.
Margaret and John, Adeje. Sailed on Thomson in 2009 Which is why, thousands of happy customers later, Tenerife Sunshine has become synonymous with a fantastic cruise experience. They’ll guide you through the whole process, from the initial consultation until it’s time to set sail. All you have to do is decide what to pack and enjoy yourself – hard life, isn’t it?! Why settle for a nice cruise when you could have an amazing one?

Chinese Horoscope
By Daniela Herzberg & Roger Keller
daniela@5-elementos.com / Tel. +34 922 104 358 / www.5-elementos.com
Daniela Herzberg & Roger Keller are based in the south-west of Tenerife. They both are certified Feng Shui and Chinese Astrology consultants and Cosmic Healers and work and teach in Tenerife and Germany. Their comprehensive knowledge about Feng Shui, Chinese Astrology and the five elements is a result of their work with Derek Walters, one of the most respected Feng Shui masters in the world. They have published several books about Chinese Astrology and how to increase your health and vitality with the five elements, with recipes from all over the world.
ď š Rat (1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008) Your horizon will be brightened by hopeful signs connected to romance or a vital friendship. Plan things meticulously and it’ll avoid weird or embarrassing situations. ď š Ox (1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009) Many of your dilemmas and burdens will have petered out, so enjoy yourself by spending time with the family or just doing what pleases you – you deserve it! ď š Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998) Don’t challenge authority or anyone in a position of authority. They may be misguided, wrong, rude or ignorant but it’ll be best for you to fit in with their delusions. ď š Rabbit (1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999) Refuse to boil over when work colleagues, employees or business associates ignore your advice, take reckless decisions or are just plain awkward. ď š Dragon (1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000) Single Dragons should be aware that they have attracted an admirer. Treat any new romances with nurturing care and they’ll begin to flourish. ď š Snake (1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001) Have fun entertaining at home or organising fun get togethers. If you’re out socialising, there’ll be at least one romantic option. Take better care of your health! ď š Horse (1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002) Stay cool and be forgiving in love relationships. If you accelerate or even join in a row, you’re asking for trouble. Avoid speed cameras and park sensibly. ď š Sheep (1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 Emotional problems will add to your stresses. Whether it’s a love or family matter, stay positive and talk things through. Pay particular attention to paperwork, as there’ll be error gremlins about. ď š Monkey (1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004) Follow your intuition. Your psychic senses will be peaking, so look forward to insights into relationships, your spirituality and career direction. ď š Rooster (1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005) Emotions or resentments from the past might surface now. This is a significant stage in a mind cleansing and healing process. It is a good time for decorating and buying household items. ď š Dog (1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006) Relax with friends or family, or take your special person away on a mini-break. Romantic energies suggest that all Dogs have something special in store, just be awake to opportunities. ď š Pig (1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007) Don’t trust other people to run errands, carry messages or do your chores. There’ll also be criticism from people whose opinions you value. Use it constructively. 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.

011 for traffic T
he Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce has authorised the DirecciĂłn General de TrĂĄfico (DGT) to use the telephone number 011 for its new traffic and roadside assistance service which is currently accessible free of charge through 900 123 505.
Renault Fluence Z.E. Renault Fluence zero emission
T
he Renault Fluence is a classy vehicle, and now Renault have unveiled the final design of Fluence Z.E. (zero emission), due to go on sale in Europe from 2011.
As the C segment’s first production saloon electric vehicle, Fluence Z.E. targets motorists and fleet operators who want a status-enhancing vehicle which is both economical and environmentally respectful. Its package of specific features and details unmistakably associate it with Renault’s electric vehicle range. The Fluence Z.E. is 4.75 metres long, 13 centimetres longer than its internal combustion-engined cousin to accommodate the battery behind the rear seats. At the same time, the lines of its flanks have been revised to maintain the same overall balance. Amongst other changes, a blue-
hued colour (chosen for the electric range) appears on the trim of several external features, including the rear light clusters which feature a pattern made up of backlit bluehued lozenges. Gloss black exterior mirror housings, body-colour painted side protective mouldings and battery charge flaps on both wings, the boot lid’s blue-hued panel and the Fluence Z.E. badge add the finishing touches. The rear bumper incorporates a black diffuser which is engineered to reduce drag, while the wheels have been specially designed to minimise turbulence. Several body colours are available, including Energy Blue, a new colour specific to Renault’s electric vehicle range. Renault Fluence Z.E.’s interior is based on the same layout as the original version, and has the bestin-class front and rear elbow room.
Only the rev-counter has been replaced by a bespoke instrument which displays data concerning remaining range and battery charge. The decorative trim of the uncluttered dashboard is emphasised in a colour exclusive to the model. There are lots of useful technologies on board, including a smart navigation system, Bluetooth telephony and automatic dual-zone climate control, plus automatic headlamps and windscreen-wipers. This is an entirely electric vehicle, powered by a synchronous electric motor with rotor coil. Peak power is 70kW at 11,000rpm, while maximum torque is 226Nm. The weight of the motor – excluding peripherals – is 160kg. Acceleration is crisp and linear, with maximum torque available very early on. Weighing 250kg, the capacity of the lithium-ion battery is 22kW/h. An energy recovery system enables the battery to be charged when the car decelerates.
It will be possible to charge the Fluence Z.E. battery via a household mains supply (10A or 16A, 220V) which will fully charge the battery in six to eight hours. You could also use fast charge stations using a 32A 400V supply which enable the battery to be charged in approximately 30 minutes (available from 2012), or the QuickDrop battery switch system where the battery can be swapped in approximately three minutes at bespoke battery exchange stations. Revised suspension, recalibrated ABS and ESC driving aids, a strengthened body structure and low rolling resistance tyres are other features of the Fluence Z.E., which is conclusive proof that electric vehicles don’t have to be small, narrow and uncomfortable with a limited touring ability. More information will be available very soon at www.renault.es
The 011 service will be available throughout Spain, providing up to the minute information for the whole country relating to the current traffic situation, incidents, and restrictions for dangerous loads, heavy vehicles etc. The cost of calling this service will be no more than that for a national call, and in line with the rest of the European Union. All landline and mobile phone operators must accommodate calls to 011 within four months of the date when the service begins, which is expected to be during 2011. According to the Ministry, the number 011 easy to remember, priced at a good level, and will represent an improvement in the quality of information and services available to the public.
N ew tec h nolo gy
Battery power T
he Spanish government is going to pump â‚Ź168 million into the electric car sector in 2011.
₏80 million will be spent on subsidising electric vehicle sales, ₏70 million will go towards developing Spain’s recharging network and the balance on marketing. State hopes are for 20,000 sales next year and 50,000 by 2012, most of which are expected to be bought by public authorities.

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 628 :: 22/10/2010 - 05/11/2010
Boxing By George Reed
Khan is aiming for the summit
B
olton’s Amir Khan, the current holder of the WBA light welterweight title belt, will make his Las Vegas debut on December 11th at the Mandalay Bay Hotel Casino when he’ll face mandatory opponent Marcos Maidana, the hard punching Argentinian. However, you won’t see such a splash as Ricky Hatton made when he went to Las Vegas to do battle, and was followed by an army of tens of thousands of fans.The reason being, I suppose, is that Ricky had built up a massive fan base in the UK before fighting in the States and by then many of his fans would have followed him to the end of the Earth. On the other hand, many in the boxing business believe that Khan should have had more fights in the UK and built a bigger fan base before fighting in the USA. Yet young Amir was very wise to go to America at times to train and be coached by Freddie Roach, who is rated by many wiseheads to be the best in the business. The boxing knowledge Khan gleaned from working with Roach at his famed L.A. Wild Card Gym, and sparring with Manny Pacquiao, the best pound for pound fighter on the planet, has certainly resulted in Khan making rapid progress, and looking good enough now to take on either of the two boxers rated above him in his weight division, the Americans Timothy Bradley, the WBO champ, and the southpaw Devon Alexander, holder of the WBC and the IBF title belts, who are both undefeated. For most boxers, a world title belt is the summit of their aspirations. For Amir, who holds one of the four major belts, it is only the beginning, the first step on his ascent towards the Holy Grail of the hardest game. And the wonder kid is not lacking in ambition, for his aim is to clean up his own weight division before moving up to welterweight to destroy the modern ring legends Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, to earn the mythical crown of the best pound for pound fighter on Earth. Trainer Freddie Roach’s transformation of Khan, after his devastating 54-second only defeat against Breidis Prescott two years ago is almost miraculous, for less than a year and just three fights after arriving at Roach’s gym he won his world WBA title, to become Roach’s 25th world champion. The fighter who challenges Khan for his title in December, Marcos Maidana, is the one that most people thought he would steer clear of, for he’s a very dangerous concussive puncher, with a record of 27 K.O.’s in 29 fights. However, he lacks the technical ability and speed of Khan. Freddie Roach stated, “I’ve heard some people say that Amir has been ducking Maidana because he’s a puncher, but, trust me, Maidana can’t box at all; Amir can. Amir wins every one of the 12 rounds against him. A shutout. I guarantee it”. Khan himself says, “Hopefully in one or two years, Freddie will make me a machine – a fighter like Manny Pacquiao, or better. He’ll turn me into a great fighter, one of the best fighters out there. I know I can now go into a fight and win, that’s the honest truth, against anyone”. You know something – I believe him!

Champions Pablo Herrera and Adrián Gavira
Home win
Beach volleyball
For the first time in the four years of the Tenerife Champions Cup, a Spanish team has lifted the trophy. The male team formed by Pablo Herrera and Adrián Gavira, currently ranked third in the world, managed to beat off all comers to win the title. For the first time a woman’s competition was also organised and was deservedly won by Germany’s Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig. The competition was well supported by teams, authorities and fans and has now become a consolidated event in the stunning auditorium at Siam Park.
Basketball
Roe scoop makes headlines
An exclusive interview given to Island Connections earlier this year by ex-NBA player Lou Roe has made the headlines in the sports sections of local Spanish papers. Roe’s criticism of his club, Tenerife Rural, who he says, “conned him” into signing with assurances that player wages would be met on time, has reignited the controversy in the island’s basketball circles over the financial problems at the debt-ridden club, which has been forced to merge with neighbours Socas Canarias after the Tenerife Cabildo refused to bail it out any more. As the court deadline for the payment of sums still outstanding to some of last year’s players approached, Roe’s bitter attack in Island Connections on his former employers was translated and published in full by papers such as El Día, appearing also on basketball forums in various parts of Spain. Word of the shockwaves caused by his “Never Again” vow reached Roe in Mexico, where he now plays for champions Halcones de Xalapa. The 38-year-old former Detroit Pistons centre said that what he told Island Connections, “was less than half of what had happened to him while at Tenerife”.
Down’s Syndrome swimmer
World crown
Gran Canaria’s reputation as a fertile ground for top-level disabled swimmers continued with a gold for local, Hector Santana, in the recent World Down’s Syndrome Swimming Championships in Taiwan. Santana, who is from Agüimes, claimed his crown in the 50m butterfly in a time of 47.28 seconds and followed up the medal with a bronze in the 100 metres to cap a successful trip to the Far East. He already holds the Spanish titles at his distances, as well as a European runner-up medal, feats which have already earned him the Disabled Athlete of the Year award in his native island.
Gran Canaria
Europe dilemma
Spanish premiership basketball side Gran Canaria’s qualification for the EuroCup for a ninth time has triggered internal debate as to whether participation is in the club’s best interests. The demolition of KK Zagreb (96-60) in early October saw Pedro Martínez’s men through to the group phase but the manager himself admits the mid-week travel and games can seriously affect routines. Although the players enjoy the prestige and challenge of pitting their talents against their European counterparts, the club is thought to have reservations, not least because participation adds around €200,000 to the expense bill at a time when money is very tight. “We need to ensure our league performances do not suffer as a result of all the travel. There have been signs in the past that away trips in Europe have a negative effect on weekend results so we will be keeping a close eye on things,” said a club source.
Motoring
Rally under threat T
he staging of next year’s Canary Islands’ Rally is in doubt due to funding cuts by the regional government. Digital paper, Canarias Ahora, reports that the Department of Tourism has told the rally organisers that it is unable to contribute the €120,000 annual funding, which it gives in return for the international promotion of the Canaries as a holiday destination during TV coverage of the event, normally held in Gran Canaria in late April or early May. The rally’s main sponsor is El Corte Inglés but the government sponsorship is equally crucial and it is doubtful that the shortfall can be made up by the other participating institutions. Meetings have taken place in recent weeks to try and find a solution to the problem but, according to Canarias Ahora, the prestigious rally is, “under real threat after 34 years”.
Contador hits back Cycling
Triple Tour de France winner Alberto Contador has vowed to take legal action if “unfounded rumours” that he took banned substances continue to appear in the media. The cyclist is at the centre of a major doping row after it emerged that tiny traces of clenbuterol were found in his blood towards the end of this summer’s Tour. Contador says he
has already presented evidence to the International Cycling Union showing that the substance was contained in contaminated meat he was given at his team hotel the day before the test was carried out.
Since the revelation, the New York Times and other papers have reported that traces of plastic in the sample indicate that Contador may also have
used an illegal blood transfusion to boost his stamina during the world’s most famous race. “I flatly deny all these and other claims, which are totally untrue, and I will make sure anyone who publishes them is punished in court,” said the cyclist, whose reputation has been severely damaged by the controversy.

2009 knockout line-up
S
occer Experience’s fourth annual Soccer 7s tournament is coming soon and ex star pro footballers and many social teams from the UK are planning come out and play again in southern Tenerife on the 19th, 20th and 21st November 2010. In 2007 Bruce Grobbelaar formerly of Liverpool F.C. came and played some wonderful football in Tenerife along with Mark Walters an ex-England and Liverpool F.C. player who enjoyed practising his Spanish as well as being in the team who won the overall tournament. There were plenty of teams from around the island and also some traveling teams from the U.K. In 2008 the island saw the tournament grow significant-
ly and the footballing fiesta was enjoyed by some ex-professionals of the highest calibre, many were ex-international players from countries from all over the world such as Sweden, Turkey, Jamiaca, Spain and Ireland. These players were happy to reminisce with fans some stories from some important games they enjoyed when playing a few years ago for their teams and countries. Nayim is a good friend of Soccer Experience and was happy to come to the tournament a few years running and truly was a joy to watch. Muzzy Izzet, Johan Mjallby, Gerry Taggart, Marcus Gayle, Carlton Fairweather and many more were here on this weekend to participate in this event. Last year, the 2009 tournament was as always played in
perfect conditions typical to the island of Tenerife. Many northern European teams take advantage of this and travel down to enjoy the winter heat. Nicky Summerbee (ex Manchester City and Nottingham Forest) Darren Jackson (Scotland, Newcastle, Glasgow Celtic) Regi Blinker (Holland, Celtic) and more were some of the ex-pro’s who helped make the event fun, exciting and one not to be missed. Many social teams from the UK who just come to the island for the weekend to play now book their place for the following year’s tournament a year in advance as it truly is a rare chance for any social level player to play with or against some of these former stars who in their day reached the highest possible level, some of whom compet-
ed in World Cup finals. Some of these players were childhood idols and what a thrill it is to brush shoulders with them in a fun enviroment of slow motion football. The 2010 tournament will, as usual, be fun from start to finish with the usual array of ex-stars from the SPL, EPL and La Liga present. Also Sky Sports Masters legend and former Leicester City captain Ali Mauchlen will be trying to achieve four tournament wins in a row! The tournament will take place from Friday 19th to Sunday 21st November at the fantastic Adeje Las Torres Sports Complex just off exit 79B on the TF1 with entertainment provided for the whole family over the whole weekend. For more information on the fun, slow motion football weekend please check out the

CD Tenerife
By Chris Todd
Blanquiazules still without win
Only five months before, CD Tenerife were playing in the awesome Nou Camp stadium only a stone’s throw away from the venue for their latest away game at the Mini-Estadi in Barcelona. The harsh reality of the drop in category was all too clear to see as a small crowd of 3,000 cheered on the Barcelona B outfit, which is to all intents and purposes the youth team for FC Barcelona. The local side started the game at a great pace and seemed to be sharper and more enthusiastic than their visitors. The game was being shown live on nationwide television and the youngsters were keen to impress knowing full well the Barcelona club policy of nurturing youths through their ranks and on to the big time. But it was Tenerife that should have taken the lead after a goal by Hidalgo was disallowed by a very dubious offside decision. You do not get much luck when you are struggling and in the very next attack Barcelona took the lead as Jonathan broke the offside trap and coolly beat Aragoneses in the Tenerife goal. Chances were few and far between with only Nino for the blanquiazules troubling the young Catalan goalkeeper with a couple of efforts. Five minutes before the break Barça B attacked down the right flank and when the ball was flashed across the face of goal, Nolito smacked the ball first time from a tight angle to score a classy goal. Another away defeat loomed for Tenerife but they did come out for the second half fired up and pulled an early goal back from Mikel Alonso. The game changed and the blanquiazules at last piled the pressure on and perhaps played their best 20 minutes of the season so far. But frustration grew at the inability to produce the
a close range header when it seemed easier to score and poor old Nino was lively. I say poor old Nino as the small striker runs his socks off but the service he is receiving this campaign does not suit his style. Hopeful balls chipped into the box are no good to him as they are cannon fodder for lanky centre halves against the 5ft 7inch forward. Numancia took the lead on 34 minutes from a counter attack Alonso ensures a point against Numancia with Flaño netting from a low struck shot. Too many and hero Nino pledged his balls were lost in midfield with allegiance to the club. Other key supposed playmakers Ricardo players, Marc Bertran, Ricardo, and Alonso making the ball Kome and Alonso were also look like a giant egg. The lack staying, what could possibly go wrong? The season ticket of confidence is shocking. The advertising campaign with its equaliser did come with ten slogan of ‘Before you know minutes remaining as Alonso it, we will be back in Primera’ scrambled the ball over the line looks more than embarrassing after a great cut back by Luna. now and the media hype that The heroic comeback did not this team was better than last materialise mainly due to Julio year’s was a common talking Alvarez receiving his marching point. The players lapped it orders soon after the Tenerife up and presumed that playing goal. The draw was a fair result at this year in a lower category the end of the day. A point is a would be a stroll in the park, point for the blanquiazules but although the Spanish second on this form you really cannot division is probably a more see where a win is coming physical league to play in. from. Worrying times indeed As the first defeats were but I am convinced one win recorded the criticisms started will change the dynamic of the and these players that were up to now only used to receiving season. As an anecdote to the game, hero acclaim appeared to be Numancia player Culebras, unable to handle the pressure. who was forced out of CD The downward dynamic Tenerife in the summer, leaving started and the air of tension Credit Gary Hill (www.garyhill-photography.com)

equalising goal and Barcelona put the game beyond any doubt. Carmona sneaked in at the back door when he should have been marked tighter by French left back Baranger who worryingly looks way beyond his depth at this level. The 3:1 scoreline slightly flattered the home side but it was the ‘same old story’ for CD Tenerife on their travels with only one win from their last 23 away matches.
17/10/2010 CD Tenerife 1:1 Numancia Well now it is official, the blanquiazules have forgotten how to win! Hours upon hours have been spent on local radio stations and in the press dissecting the problems and debating where it all went wrong. With the benefit of hindsight it’s easy to see that the sacking of manager Oltra was a terrible decision, and going back even further to the January transfer window it was damaging that football director Santiago Llorente failed to find any suitable candidates, albeit on a shoe string budget. The pre-season proved to be fairly successful but it was also misleading as Tenerife beat La Liga outfits Mallorca and Real Zaragoza with some ease. Soon the ‘euphoria’ was being whipped up but it lacked real foundation. New players with solid track records were brought in and top scorer
surrounding the squad was not exactly the perfect setting for winning matches. But the faithful still show up, and yet again over 16,000 spectators were present despite the worst start in the club’s history and the third worst points tally by all of Spain’s 485 professional football clubs. Numancia arrived on the Island in not exactly great form themselves. They had yet to gain a point on their travels but knew they had an opportunity against a blanquiazul team in crisis. Tenerife controlled large parts of the first half but it was Numancia who enjoyed the clearer chances. Having said that, Hidalgo hit the bar with
