Acquittal ‘not the end of our nightmare’

Not guilty

By Karl McLaughlin

The freed lads outside the Courts of Justice in Santa Cruz after the trial

T

hree young Londoners cleared this month of stabbing a Northern Ireland youth during a holiday in Playa de Las Américas are piecing back together the lives they were forced to suspend for the 19 months spent behind bars on remand in the island’s prison.

Although relieved to have regained their freedom after an experience they “would not wish on anyone”, brothers John (22) and David (19) Heyfron and their friend Cagkan ‘Chucky’ Guvener (20), along with several legal experts, are at a loss to understand how things went so badly wrong when they were mistaken by police for the gang that attacked the

Belfast teenager. In particular, they want to know why those responsible for bringing the case did not rectify long ago and admit “they had simply got it wrong”. In exclusive interviews, published in this edition of Island Connections, given during and after the trial the families narrate their feelings about their ordeal since that fateful night in the summer of 2009.

When the case eventually came to trial after multiple delays (as far back as November 2009 Arona court was urged by a higher court in Santa Cruz to speed up its handling of the uncomplicated formalities and issue the required indictment) and what the families say was “a suspicious mislaying of documents”, the Criminal Court in

Santa Cruz freed the defendants within hours of the end of the proceedings and returned their passports to them, recalling them a week later to give them the long-awaited news that they had been acquitted. All three immediately caught planes to leave the island that should have provided memories of a happy vacation but instead brought them a nightmare whose effects, in their words, “only people who have gone through something similar can even begin to comprehend”.

Some might argue, simplifying matters to the extreme, that justice was done, albeit at its own pace, but the Heyfrons and Guveners are demanding to know why it all took so long, particularly now that they have discovered that not a shred of ‘evidence’ was offered at the trial other than that put together by the police and prosecution in the days immediately after their arrest on Troya Beach in the early hours of 1 August 2009.

The youths were held in Playa de Las Américas police station for almost three days before learning that they were to be charged with the stabbing because their appearance matched the description of the culprits and police felt the towels they were wearing around their shoulders at the beach may have been what the victim and his friends had described as “scarves” used to hide their attackers’ faces. *Full story on pages 4 & 5

count on the support of the tourism sector since the success of the Elton John, Rod Stewart and Simply Red concerts have proved the effectiveness of events of this nature, and they have asked that we continue with this kind of initiative”.

The group’s Jordi Esplugas said that already Adeje and Arona councils had given firm commitments to support the event and they were expecting similar support from the Cabildo as well as the regional government.

He said that experience shows that big name concerts attract millions of people around the world as well as bringing pleasure to those who live in or visit the location, not to mention the positive repercussions for the concert location on the press, radio, television, internet and social networks.

They are looking to Canarian businesses for the know-how on installing water, power and urbanisations in what is currently just an empty plot of land.

The idea came from the Senegalese embassy in Madrid, but the bulk of the work in coordinating the event has fallen on the shoulders of the Senegalese Consul Designate, Bernard Lonis, a well known and respected businessman in the tourism industry.

“They are the best ones to know how to do things well in the tourism world as they have already demonstrated,” he commented, adding, “there is room for many business people in this project” and that his part was only a small one of, “encouraging people to invest which will generate jobs and wealth there and here”.

As one of the most settled of the African democracies with a solid 50 year history behind it and without social, religious or political conflicts, Bernard firmly believes that Senegal offers an historic opportunity for investment and is the doorway to investment in the African continent and that Tenerife with its peculiar geographical situation is the ideal platform between Europe, Africa and America.

Senegal is taking the forum very seriously indeed and many top ministers will be attending in addition to experts in development, economics, finances, agriculture, telecommunications, tourism and energy. One of the projects that will surely enter into the discussion is one of Bernard’s own ideas. He wanted to open a teaching hotel to train tourism

According to Bernard, Africa is the recommendation for investment return of top economists worldwide and he believes Senegal is the most attractive option. Apart from the social and political stability it also offers a good climate, beautiful landscapes, natural parks, culture, animals, 700 kilometres of beaches and the opportunity to eat well for less than €2 a day.

In addition it’s at less than four hours journey from any European capital, offers fiscal advantages and has a stable currency guaranteed by the Bank of France and with a fixed exchange rate against the Euro. And of course there is the famous ‘teranga’ of the Senegalese – a very special way of wholeheartedly welcoming

Connections of all kinds are ver y important for a developing country. A new national airline has been set up and it is hoped that there will soon be more direct flights to Senegal both by this company and by Canarian companies.

It is also being floated that Tenerife may become a hub for

There is already a maritime connection with the islands and the virtual connections are about to be booted into the 21st century with the inauguration of the Network Access Point – fundamental for the growth of the neighbouring continent and again putting Tenerife

as the axis between Europe, America and Africa.

Bernard has the ideal background for his project. He currently runs four hotels with room for 2,500 guests and the largest children’s club in the Canaries with 3,000 square metres dedicated to the youngsters and making sure that, “parents enjoy their holidays as much as the children”.

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 639 :: 25/03/2011 - 07/04/2011

T

he XIV Costa Adeje international tourism forum, held in the Gran Hotel Bahia del Duque dealt with a number of areas crucial to the continued growth of tourism in the area, but the session that attracted high levels of attention was that on aerial connections to the island and the thorny issue of ‘special treatment’ for certain airlines.

In recent years the conference has adopted a round table format which works well and is informal enough to allow the main speakers to relax into their theme and address the issues at stake rather than reading from prepared speeches. Dealing with this issue were Manuel Panadero, Director of Industrial Relations with Air Europa, Álvaro Middelmann, Director General for Spain and Portugal for Air Berlin, Juan José Álvarez Gallego, Spanish airport authority AENA Canarian Regional Director, Ricardo Fernández de la Puente, the regional deputy minister for tourism and José Carlos Francisco, President of CEOE, Tenerife’s business association and the discussion moderator was Manolo Molina, Director of Hosteltur.

The issue of ‘favours’ being given to certain low cost airlines to increase business at the expense of more traditional carriers has been raised in recent times, most particularly

enough to attract visitors, then other questions needed to be asked, adding that using airport taxes as a bargaining chip was not a good idea. On the issue of questioning the marketing of the destination, Middelmann also asked why the Canary Islands continued to treat the summer months as low season when it has one of the best climates in Europe for this time of year.

On the prickly question of offers and deals, the regional deputy tourism minister de la Puente agreed that offering subsidies to certain airlines wasn’t an ideal way to operate but the role of the government

A level playing pitch?

by Adeje tourism chief Miguel Ángel Santos, who has said the trend is potentially damaging and could see the island stranded in the mid to long term by certain carriers. The news is fuelled by the probability that there will be 200,000 less seats on carriers from the Spanish mainland to Tenerife South airport this summer, and by comparison Ryanair will fly an extra 145,000 people in from other destinations. In fact, though the Irish carrier was not represented at the top table, it was mentioned many times by

almost all the contributors. At one stage Air Berlin’s Middelmann said that while “he was not obsessed with Ryanair, his airline wanted to compete on a level playing pitch”. He said that his company had been flying to Spain since 1979 and next year, regardless of any subsidies that might be offered by the regional authorities, they would be operating 21 flights weekly in and out of Tenerife, and was asking why they were not being given equal treatment. Why, he asked, if the cost of landing a commercial flight in Turkey or

Egypt (pre-crisis) was so cheap, were Ryanair not flying there?

The obvious suggestion being that sweeteners are on the table to bring them here instead.

Manuel Panadero, from Air Europa, said that what also needed to be addressed was the issue of demand. If the demand to fly to Tenerife South isn’t there from potential travellers in the Spanish peninsula, the authorities in the destination need to ask themselves why.

For Air Europe Panadero said “the Canaries is a vital destination”, but if it’s not doing

was “to bring people here”.

However he said the government had “no preference for any one company”, and that deals were done “not to benefit Ryanair but in the interests of the Canaries”. The CEOE president José Carlos Francisco said that the medium was “extremely effective…in financial terms for every euro it cost the administration, it earns €6 in direct taxes for the Canaries and €10 indirectly”, adding that it was a temporary and exceptional measure.

From AENA’s point of view

the numbers seem to speak for themselves. The representative from the Spanish airport authority was quite positive about the current situation, with the latest statistics showing an 8.1 per cent increase in passengers to Tenerife. In fact earlier in the conference de la Puente had underlined the fact that the Canary Islands is the leader in tourism growth in Spain, with a 10 per cent increase in January and a huge 22 per cent increase in February.

However the latter must be taken in context as many tourists had initially booked to holiday in Egypt or Tunisia but changed destination given the political unrest in the region – numbers that those destinations are already working to recover.

At the end of the session there was a quick discussion of the possible AENA strike – at this stage there were no positive moves to call off the action. But in the eyes of many there, by simply threatening to strike on key holidays the damage was already done, with the UK press carrying the news on every front page on the day of the union announcement.

Let’s wait and see how much this affects the tourism trade in a period when the islands can take real advantage of problems in other destinations.

(Continued from front page) The charges were formalised at Arona Court on 3 August and the Londoners were remanded to Tenerife II jail. Bail applications were denied repeatedly because the local prosecutor believed that they might flee the country and/or tamper with evidence. In December 2009, after another failed application, the two mothers, Kerstin Heyfron and Sevda Guvener, issued a plea through the media to have the case reviewed by a third party.

Asked today about their feelings now that their sons’ ordeal has ended, both women are aggrieved at how things work in the justice system here and are scathing about the court in Arona, which they describe as a “disgrace to any judicial system in an EU country” and to blame for the mess that forced their sons to spend almost 600 days and nights in jail with convicted criminals, missing birthdays, two family Christmases and a lot more.

“The Crown Prosecution Service in Britain would never have taken this forward but here they would send a person to prison without even reading the case to check if there is enough convicting evidence!

I would not wish this on any person, regardless of nationality” complained Sevda, who lost her job because of her dogged desire to stay in Tenerife to be

Kerstin Heyfron and Sevda Guvener who fought for their sons’ innocence

near Cagkan for weekly visits.

However, as the case dragged and the debts piled up she was forced to return to London and instead fly out regularly to Tenerife.

The frustration mounted as the months went by and promised trial dates came and went without progress. The families lost count of the number of times they were informed by their lawyer that vital papers had been mislaid in Arona or ‘lost’ on the way up to Santa Cruz.

“As your children grow up you are always able to resolve any problems they throw your way.

This was one problem that you could not resolve and you begin

to feel useless” added Sevda, who has great sympathy for the families of foreigners held on remand in Tenerife II due to the many barriers faced.

The nightmare ordeal has taken a heavy toll on the three young men (‘the boys’, as their parents still call them) who are desperate to put it behind them and resume their lives quickly but realise that getting used to freedom is going to take some time. “It is not just a matter of closing a book and putting it away on a shelf. It is much harder” admits one, who spent his first night of freedom just staring for hours on end at the waves at Puerto Colón.

In the hours following their release acclimatisation was very strange and not just in terms of adjusting their eyes to wide open spaces again. Immediate ‘differences’ in their routines included not being forced to turn their faces to the wall in lifts when escorted to court appearances or simply walking around at will and not having to raise their hand to ask permission from a prison officer to leave the room or canteen. Sevda Guvener sums up the strangeness experienced all around: “The day after the trial ended, we were informed that the boys would be released. The relief threw me into shock again. Now that the day had arrived I felt like I needed someone to pinch me, it was very surreal. I could not stop staring at him, I just wanted to watch him all the time, touch him. He was like a live wire, could not sit down, could not stop talking and could not stop touching things. Simple things that we all take for granted: a toilet seat, stainless steel knives and forks, glasses, plates and - for him most of all - a steak dinner!”

As for what life now holds for them, Cagkan is already resurrecting his plans to go to university, which he was due to start after his Tenerife ‘holiday’. Apprentice electrician David is looking for work, while the immediate concern for his brother John is to find out if his ankles will need further surgery.

The ankles were the subject of considerable legal argument before and during the trial. Although it was alleged throughout that John was the one who stabbed the victim and then ran away, medical evidence supplied by the family and corroborated by expert witnesses showed that the congenital condition which forces him to walk with a noticeable limp and has required countless operations since he was a baby effectively ruled out any such possibility. His mother Kerstin fears the worst: “The pain he has been in these past months, without rehabilitation of any kind and initially not allowed to have his usual ankle braces in jail, has been terrible and it may be that he never recovers fully the use of both. Once he sees his consultant we will know more”.

As stated above, the boys could not leave Tenerife II fast enough once they were notified of their release. Despite their understandable haste, they had a final thought for the people left behind who had been their friends for so long, particularly a number on remand who they believe to be in the same boat as they were. A proud Kerstin points out that her sons and his friend “came out with no clothes other than the ones they were wearing. They left them because they know many in there - English and others - have no support, no money and no-one on hand to give them any. It is cold up there: the inmates often sleep in all their clothes, hats, gloves, scarves and they still wake up with their teeth chattering. As a basic human right that is wrong.”

CabildoNews

INVOLCAN

Scientists studying the affected waters

The Canarian volcanic institute, promoted by the Tenerife Cabildo, was involved recently in collating the results of CO2 emissions from the Bolaños de Calatrava (Ciudad Real) ‘geyser’.

The scientists from INVOLCAN, working with investigators from the University of Castilla de Mancha, were studying the composition of ‘boiling’ water and gasses that have been emanating from the zone recently, as well as the levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) being sent into the atmosphere.

Industrial Internet

The Tenerife Cabildo have begun the laying of fibre optic cable in the Güímar industrial estate. The network, designed by technicians from IT3, will offer speeds of 1.2 gigabytes per second and will reach all the 360 units in the estate.

According to the Cabildo’s councillor for the economy and competitivity Carlos Alonso the installations, along with the AliX project, were part of the overall broadband offer designed to help develop new and existing businesses. The network will have a central depot in the industrial estate directing all the traffic under the FTTH (Fibre To The Home) label, the first of its kind to be installed in the Canary Islands in an industrial zone.

The Tenerife Cabildo has said it is very pleased with the outcome of its participation in the ITB Berlin tourism trade fair during March.

Led by president Ricardo Melchior, the Tenerife delegation saw almost 50 tourism related businesses, councils and operators attend the four day fair with positive results. The ITB is considered one of the leading tourism trade fairs in the world with attendances reaching 180,000.

At the conclusion of the event the Cabildo announced that in April Tenerife would host the ‘Destinations Meet online’ event, which will see over 300 tour operators and internet travel page operators come together.

It is the first time the event is being hosted in Spain.

Direct from Denmark

The Cabildo recently attended the Herning tourism trade fair in Denmark and were happy to promote the direct twice-weekly flights between the island and Billund which began in February.

Ryanair are flying the new route out of Tenerife South airport. According to the Cabildo’s tourism chief, José Manuel Bermúdez, the new connection is important for the island and is bringing new holiday makers here. He added that Tenerife is one of the top destinations for Nordic tourists.

The new flights are being used mostly by travellers from the island of Fyn and the centre and south of Jutland.

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 639 :: 25/03/2011 - 07/04/2011 Now that they are safely back home what differences have those closest to them noticed?

For Syd Taylor, an uncle of the Heyfron brothers, his nephews “are certainly not the boys who went in there. They are trying to remember what it is like to be ‘normal’ but it is not intuitive after so long. You would think they would jump at the chance to go out but they just want to stay at home and do nothing.

Part of the reason might be the natural self-recrimination that sets in. Even though they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, they probably feel it is all their fault, so for the time being we have to allow them to be inward and withdrawn.

David is just getting used to the idea of a proper bed, the one he had in prison was far too small for his long legs. Even getting used once more to a standard bathroom instead of freezing cold water in a room made of concrete takes some doing� explains Syd. Turning to what could have been done by way of help at all levels during their ordeal, Kerstin Heyfron has many suggestions, not all of them printable, ranging from a more user friendly prison-visit booking system (“it was hell trying to get through on the one phone number available�), at least some signs in English to assist foreign detainees/inmates and

their relatives, to a review of the diplomatic assistance provided to Britons in such situations: “For us the most important issue is that the UK government and FCO do almost nothing to help you when something like this happens�.

From stories the boys were told while inside, and also from comments on forums where their imprisonment has featured, it is clear that theirs is by no means the first long remand followed by charges being dropped or acquittal.

One contributor to the Tenerife Forum, where the slowness of the justice system and its treatment of foreigners have been discussed sporadically of late, described how “a mate of mine was remanded for two years and got released three or four back without charge.

Of course he was innocent, but they just wouldn’t listen. Seems to me, you get time in the pokey - guilty or not - before anything is done about it!� However, another contributor with “many years experience of the judicial system in the UK� points out that the issue is not just a Spanish/Canarian one: “not guilty trials can take a year in the UK as well. We must allow justice to take its course.

We would not want to live in a country that does not.�

Although acknowledging that these things can indeed

take time, the two families feel there is no justification for the delays that plagued their boys’ case or the lack of a fair weighing-up of the initial merits before a decision is taken to lock someone up. Kerstin is “deeply concerned that this happens all the time in Tenerife.

Our boys were lucky that we worked to get things done but not many people have the means and strength to do this.

Tenerife’s judicial system has been doing this for years. “No-one has questioned them and they appear not to have to answer to Madrid.

People have spent years in prison with no trial and no one seems to care. Arona court allowed unfounded charges to continue then did everything in their power to stop this getting quickly to trial to Santa Cruz.

Do they always do nothing to investigate cases brought before them before they send people to prison?� Indeed, of all the components of the judiciary she came into contact with, Kerstin has praise only for Section 6 of the Criminal Court in Santa Cruz, which she says kicked into gear when they received the trial committal papers from Arona. “Santa Cruz did everything they could to speed the process up and bring this nightmare to an end�. Syd Taylor feels there may even have been a “trophy� element involved, with the po-

lice keen to show how quickly they had “resolved� a serious crime involving a tourist and a prosecutor and local judge only too willing to run with it but, in their haste, unwilling to entertain the possibility that the three young men arrested and locked up were not guilty.

The sentiment is largely echoed by Manuel Alvarez, who works for one of Spain’s top international law firms in Madrid and who is equally puzzled, not so much by the outcome (a foregone conclusion from his first glance at the papers) but by the way crucial legal arguments have been used to produce entirely different outcomes: “I was consulted for an independent view last summer and, like the boys’ defence lawyer, immediately identified serious discrepancies that should have seen this case dropped before it gathered momentum or at least brought to trial quickly to resolve any doubts.

The most bizarre thing of all is that the very arguments used to acquit the boys were completely disregarded by another section of the same Court in refusing bail applications many months earlier. The fact that they were foreign probably worked against them: if they had been local they would probably have been bailed and the time

taken to bring it to trial would not have been so important. In purely legal terms, this case has thrown up a lot of unexplained decisions�.

The welcome acquittal does not end the legal battle(s) for the Heyfrons and Guveners.

Island Connections understands that lawyers are currently preparing a compensation claim against the Spanish authorities, although the chances of success may be slim. Even if they do recoup some of the estimated debt of ÂŁ150,000 incurred over the past year and a half for legal fees, accommodation, flights, mobile phone bills and translations etc, Kerstin is adamant that “no amount of money can make up for what my boys have been through.

They have missed out being with their families, lost their jobs and, most importantly for them, missed 19 months of being with their young nephews.

How much is that worth?� In any event, both families realise things could have been much worse without the support they received: “The money side of it is too much to even think about.

We were in a situation where we had help with that, but there are many who cannot. What happens to them? We know. They spend four years on remand in prison. It’s not acceptable�.

A writ is also being prepared against a Tenerife newspaper

for its inaccurate reporting of the trial, particularly its version that the boys were carrying a knife and broken bottles when arrested. “Nothing could be further from the truth: they had absolutely nothing on them but towels, as the police and prosecution admitted from the beginning. The report was very hurtful and undermined all that we had been fighting. Our lawyer was livid when she saw it, as were the boys, who were shown the paper in prison� says Kerstin.

However, at least any future legal battles will be fought from the relative safety of home and while these new fronts are fought both the Heyfrons and Guveners can continue with their ‘new’ life. John Heyfron’s celebratory remark - made within minutes of walking through the gates of Tenerife II - that “it is almost worth being inside for 19 months just to know what it feels like to be out� was certainly overly optimistic, at least according to his mother, who has no doubts that the road ahead will be very hard. “We are all still deeply shocked and do not even seem to want to celebrate. Emotionally I do not think we will ever completely get over it. How we survived as a family I still do not know. What the boys have seen and been through in prison is too shocking for them to have seen at such a young age.�

Reservoirs

Plenty of secret water

By Barbara Belt

La Gomera is in the happy position of having full reservoirs Despite economic crisis, political mudslinging, party changing ad nauseum and predictions of doom and disaster, water is one thing we don’t need to worry about.

Everyone who knows, be they farmers, livestock keepers, ecologists, National Park authorities or nature lovers, expresses ‘delight’ at the reservoirs’ full-to- capacity status. “Irrigation water’s guaranteed this year. We’ll have no problems and can expect good harvests. The ground’s also damp now for planting, so everything’s looking good”, say Manuel Jimenez and neighbours in Hermigua.

The intense greening of most of the island has a wonderful domino effect on the natural environment too. When grasses and flowering plants proliferate, so does the insect life around them. This in turn attracts and maintains a wide variety of birds.

The point can be stretched to include increased income for the island. With such stunning natural bounty on all fronts, visitors are more likely to come back, or to spread the word.

All this water obviously also bodes well for the various agricultural regeneration projects underway. They were started in the traditional flourish of pre-election

Costly broadband Telecoms operators are justified in not offering the same high-speed broadband in the Canaries as on the Spanish mainland, according to a regional government official.

for operators, who would need to pay an extra €30 million to lay the undersea cables required to put the Canaries on an equal footing with the rest of Spain in terms of broadband access. “Things would be very different if we were joined together as islands and located next to Cadiz on the southern coast of Spain but we are not” he added.

Since the reservoirs have filled themselves, news that La Gomera will have no supply problems for some time to come has not been officially announced. This is because, as we move closer to election time, only news which either illuminates the brilliance of those in power, or ridicules the opposition, or - better still - both, is released.

It is encouraging that La Gomera’s island council obviously draws the line at claiming it was responsible for this winter’s rainfall. No chest-beating as yet, but plenty of water.

anarian police have warned people to be very careful about allowing unsolicited visits into their houses following a spate of thefts carried out by bogus TV engineers. Las Palmas has seen a number of incidents involving the bogus men, who call on homes to carry out “urgent work” on aerials and receivers as a result of the change in frequencies of many channels. According to police the thieves usually work in pairs and one distracts the owner by asking to see the point of entry of the aerial in the home while the other stays near the TV

ein Schiff and FTI are just two of the TUI cruise ships which make regular stops at La Gomera, and passengers have registered a high level of satisfaction with the stopover destination, news which was welcomed by the island’s tourism chief Nieves González. Travellers listed the general service, food, and attention received as ‘good’ or ‘very good’, with many stating they wished to return to the island. The only negative comments made by some German visitors was regarding a request to upgrade furniture (beds, etc) in some hotels and apartments.

The Hotel Jardín Tecina in La Gomera has, for the first time, been awarded the prestigious TUI Austria Gulet Touristik award.

The prize, given to hotel representatives during the ITB tourism trade fair in Berlin in March, is only awarded to the best hotels recommended by TUI world-wide. The hotel is among the top 100 and the Gulet is chosen based on services given to clients, the installations, food and drink and the range of activities, sports and entertainment in each establishment.

The Hotel Jardín Tecina, part of the Fred Olsen group, is in Playa Santíago and boasts 434 rooms, most with sea views, an excellent range of leisure activities, tennis, squash and padel courts, one salt water and four fresh water pools, a gym, mini club and lots of entertainment during the year.

Moving the barriers – Arona and Adeje mayors re-open the bridge

Arona and Adeje, but this is restricted, because we continue to maintain priority in this area for pedestrians, as well as rescue, recover and rehabilitate this zone which is right in front of the beach”.

Before March 11th, visitors to the area who drove down this road to the point where it was blocked were forced to take the service road in front of Veronicas and pass through an unsightly tunnel in order to leave the area.

March 11th was therefore a day for rejoicing, when, from many a point of view, the wall fell down and the bridge was officially opened to traffic again, as a one-way road in the direction Arona to Adeje. Now, drivers can continue into Costa Adeje, and as soon as they do,

And the wall fell down…

T

he Puente de Troya, the bridge over the Barranco de Troya, linking Playa de las Américas (Arona) with Costa Adeje, and which forms the border between the two municipalities, has been closed to traf fic since the area was given a massive facelift and pedestrianised by the Cabildo.

It was officially reopened to traffic on March 11th by Adeje mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga and Arona mayor José Alberto González Reverón, in the company of representatives of the tourist sector and business owners. Fraga commented,

“initially, in the Troya area, the improvement works were undertaken to rescue the beach and to create a space where pedestrians and users of the beach had priority. Later, we were faced with a commercial sector which was having difficulties as a result of the complete pedestrianisation of the Puente de Troya.

For this reason, and following extensive studies and weight tests over the bridge, we have decided to open it to light traffic and public transport”.

He continued, “the interconnection via the bridge between the two municipalities also has a symbolic character, and today we have begun a means of transit between

fabulous views to Bahía del Duque and beyond become visible.

From now on, life should be easier for the businesses on this important seafront road, buses can use it, both tourists and residents will benefit, and the area still looks attractive.

Both mayors played a significant part in making this happen, so it was only appropriate that it was they who physically removed the barriers before the first vehicles passed through.

It is to be hoped that this will form the beginning of better times for all those af fected, and that more tourists and residents visit the area as a result.

Bizarre police dispute A policeman at Tenerife South Airport has found himself at the centre of a bizarre dispute after he stayed on to complete the paperwork for a drugs arrest at the airport.

According to the El Día newspaper, the officer was on duty when a Dutch woman was arrested after three kilos of heroin were found in her luggage. The officer, who was in charge of the shift at the time, stayed on to file the required report for Arona court but discovered later that a colleague who took over from him as shift supervisor reported his unnecessary ‘zeal’ to his superiors.

The local police union says disciplinary proceedings have been taken against the officer for the extra stint, which they say brings a new meaning to overtime. “Instead of disciplining him, they should publicly congratulate him for the extra work done

unpaid rather than subject him to humiliation for breaking working time rules” said a union source.

Hotel renovations

Mencey facelift costs €40 million The renovations to Santa Cruz’s flagship hotel will have cost €40 million euros by the time they are finished at the end of the summer.

Hotel chain Iberostar and the island’s Cabildo, which owns the building, are jointly funding the mammoth project to upgrade the 5star Mencey (formerly run

by Sheraton) and restore it to its former position as one of the top hotels in the country.

The ongoing work was visited recently by the chairman of the Iberostar group, Miguel Fluxá, who predicted that the target date of September for the reopening would be met, despite the serious structural problems encountered once the

La guancha

Market opens The town of La Guancha in the hills of northern Tenerife is celebrating the opening of its new farmers’ market, eleven years after the project was approved.

Local mayor Elena Luis admitted the market was long overdue but a combination of building delays and funding issues for the two million euro facility had caused it to fall to the back of the queue repeatedly. The official opening of the market, which occupies 2000 square metres and has 45 stalls, drew a large crowd, including regional president Paulino Rivero, earlier this month. The authorities hope it will not only supply fruit and vegetables to the local community but will also attract foreign and Canarian visitors to the little-known town off

the beaten track between Los Realejos and Icod de los Vinos. The market will be open initially on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Freeloaders

Carnival cheats Santa Cruz’s tram operator has admitted it was powerless to stop thousands of passengers from using the service without paying during the recent Carnival fortnight.

Despite awareness-raising throughout the celebrations to make dodgers realise they were doing wrong, the firm has admitted it had “no way” of coping with the practice. “It is difficult to check tickets when carriages are jammed with people in fancy dress. We simply do not have the resources” said a spokesman.

To try and increase security and at least ensure some did pay, barriers were placed at the first and last stops. However, the firm could do nothing about passengers who joined the tram along the route and alighted before the end.

Health centre news

Armeñime centre to open soon C

onfusion and some consternation was the result of the decision by the Adeje health centre to change the paediatrician assigned to many parents in the Armeñime/Playa Paraíso/ Callao Salvaje region without prior consultation.

Parents who called or went on line to make appointments found that arbitrarily and overnight they had been assigned a new doctor for their child.

This change was made, according to the health centre which was contacted and asked for an explanation, purely on geographical grounds, with

the opening of the new centre in Armeñime due soon.

In fact, according to Adeje councillor for health Miguel Ángel Santos, the centre is almost ready to being operational, and should be welcoming its first patient any day now. And yes, many people do follow the logic that as this is a public health service, geography should play a part. But there must be some extra consideration given to the children of the borough.

Many parents have built up a trusting relationship with the paediatrician that they had chosen for their child, who has seen the child through all the relevant vaccinations, opera-

tions, and knows the medical history, allergies, problems and needs. While relevant medical information can be stored on file and passed on to another doctor, the human dimension is extremely important too and is almost impossible to store on hard disc for the next doctor to assimilate. Parents who have contacted this newspaper have stressed that their concerns are not regarding the replacement doctor allocated to them by the centre, but the manner in which the transfer was carried out.

They have also confirmed that in many cases their child’s ‘ex’ doctor is just as unhappy with the procedure.

Alcalá ::

Further bad news too for residents of Playa San Juan, who have, according to the socialists in Guía de Isora, been “tricked” by the regional government. As reported in Island Connections in edition 635, residents of the zone were promised, at long last, that their new health centre would open in February – this after a delay of four years and many promises. But yet again the month passed with no sign of action. According to the PSOE no explanation for this further delay has been given though they have now been told that a date for the inauguration should be confirmed by the end of March.

La Caleta ::

Second cultural centre opens A lcalá now has a second cultural centre, occupying 2,000 square metres, which has a public car park on two levels with 50 spaces.

The building, located in Calle Mondiola, is to ser ve as an extension to the existing cultural centre which is opposite, and to house the old peoples’ association Tingara de Alcalá.

The inauguration event was attended by various councillors from Guía de Isora, groups of residents and various social groups of the area. Two La Gomera councillors together with representatives of one of their old peoples’ associations also travelled from San

A

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Adeje mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, president of Entemanser Miguel Galindo, director of the central zone of Aqualia Félix Parra and the councillor for municipal ser vices, Gonzalo Delgado Díaz.

According to water company Entemanser, this desalination plant is capable of covering 40 per cent of the actual water demand in the municipality, for homes, hotels and agricultural irrigation, therefore reducing dependence on other sources, while at the same time keeping electricity consumption to a minimum via its energy recover y system. It can produce 10,000 cubic metres of desalinated water daily, with the possibility of extending this to 20,000.

At the moment, water from this plant is only supplying one part of the municipality, and this will gradually be extended.

An Italian suspected of carrying out an armed robbery at a bank in Armeñime four years ago has been arrested after DNA tests placed him at the scene.

The raider stole 5,300 euros at knifepoint from a branch of CajaCanarias and made off on a moped which was later found abandoned. The Civil Guard said last week that samples taken by forensics from the bank and the moped have produced a definitive match with a 30-year-old Italian living in Playa Paraíso who has now been arrested.

Hidden ‘charges’

Don’t let your electricity meter give you a tax fine

By Bill Blevins, Financial Correspondent, Blevins Franks

I

t is the responsibility of ever yone living in Spain or owning property here to establish exactly what the tax rules are and how they apply to them, and then to complete their tax return correctly and fully each year as necessar y.

Residents are liable to Spanish tax on their worldwide income and gains and on any inheritances they receive, and their Spanish assets are also subject to Spanish succession tax when they die. Non residents have to pay tax on income or gains generated in Spain, and their property and other Spanish assets are liable to succession tax.

Tax evasion used to be a way of life in Spain but the government is now much more savvy on the various ways people evade tax and considerably stricter about enforcing its taxation laws and has become more

intrusive in the process.

Property tax fraud has been one of Spain’s biggest areas of tax evasion, but the Hacienda (tax office) keeps coming up with new ideas to expose fraudsters.

It now has another effective tool to use Electricity companies are now obliged to provide information to the Hacienda regarding the electricity consumption of ever y single property in Spain.

This includes the name on the invoice; holder of the bank account used to make payments; address of property and electricity usage. The first year covered is 2010.

This is a new obligation being imposed on electricity providers, who are making their first declaration in February this year with information relating to 2010.

The taxman will be able to use this information to detect electricity usage in a property and determine if a property declared as empty is being rented out.

This will also catch out people who are living in Spain permanently but who have not registered as such and have not been paying tax in Spain each year.

If they fail to submit a tax return for 2010 and the authorities pick up on this, they could investigate further and look back over the previous four years and impose penalties

on those found guilty of tax evasion.

Under the Spanish tax laws, you are resident in Spain for tax purposes if you cumulatively spend more than 183 days here in a calendar year, or if your “centre of economic interests” or “centre of vital interests” (eg your wife) is in Spain.

What to do with the children when you work shifts or weekends?

newborn and 12 years of age, but the majority accept children up to six years old. The biggest demand is from parents of two to five year olds.

Are all children admitted?

It depends on the centre. Some nurseries offer their night-time service to all children within the parameters they deal with whether or not they are daytime pupils. Others will only accept their regular clients.

What services are on offer?

Standard services include welcoming and looking after the children.

Entertainment activities, supper and a bed (or cot) suitable for sleeping rather than the sleep mats habitually used for mini siestas. Others will only give the child the food that a parent brings in and still

Child care

Night nurseries T

r ying to meld work and home responsibilities is increasingly difficult for a number of working parents, so imagine if your working day was outside the 8am to 3pm norm here.

Parents rely more and more on members of their family, nurseries or babysitters to help them meet their work obligations and continue with the minimum of a social life. But many parents work outside what are considered normal hours and to meet demand some nursery facilities are beginning to open in the afternoon, evening and even during the night.

Police, fire personnel, health workers, cleaners, shop workers, maintenance staff and a long etc. of workers work shifts, weekends and nights, at times when traditionally the majority of the nurseries are closed. Juggling childcare under those circumstances, especially for single parents is a real challenge and not everyone lives close enough to family members to be able to count on a helping hand, or has sufficient income to pay the hourly rate demanded by a babysitter on a daily basis.

To help with these situations and offer a practical and economical alternative, some Spanish nurseries are extending their opening hours to cover weekends and nights. It is a model that is already widespread in South American countries such as Mexico or Argentina but just

beginning here. These are established nurseries that are amplifying or modifying their opening hours to cover a demand previously ignored. It also has to be said that it helps the nurseries improve their return in investment in what are often expensive installations.

Key questions

The night nurseries go under several names and not all of them offer the same services or have the same prices.

Who are they for?

In general, the users of these services fall into two categories; parents who work at night later than 8pm and parents who have no-one with whom to leave their children and find it impossible to go out with their partner or friends.

What hours do they cover?

The opening times are varied. In general the night service starts between 8 and 9pm. Most are open until 2.30am, some until 4am and still others until 8 or 9am the following morning.

Those nurseries who aim their services at working parents tend to be open every day of the week, those who aim to scoop the ‘babysitting’ role, concentrate their efforts over the weekend.

What age range is catered for?

The nurseries with the widest age range will accept children between

others also offer a pick-up service from the child’s home.

Some are flexible about drop off and pick up times, others stricter for example they won’t open the nursery doors after midnight until the following day for security reasons and to limit noise and movement during the night which may affect their mini-clients’ rest.

Business in Brief

Central European Bank

Rate hike delayed Shocking and sad though the recent and continuing events may be, they could have a positive effect for homeowners and those wanting to take out new mortgages in the near future. Experts now believe that the expected rise in the interest rate by the Central European Bank may be delayed. Oil prices have come off their highest points and the reduction of inflation pressure on the markets has relaxed the spiking of the interbank lending rate, the Euribor on which most Spanish mortgages are based.

Business costs

Cheap labour The cost of living index continues to rise, but the wages bill in Spain continues to fall. Europe-wide labour costs have increased by two per cent, but in Spain they are down by 0.3 per cent, despite the improvement in production.

Highest labour costs to the employer are in the Basque Country at an average €3,090.83 per worker per month and the lowest in the Canaries at €2,165.68. Similarly the highest income is in the Basque Country at €2,371 average per month and the lowest in the Canaries, €1,608.90.

How much?

The price varies depending on the services and the nurseries have different ways of setting the prices. Some have a fixed price, others charge by the hour (with a minimum charge) and there are those who will draw up an individual proposal or who will charge more for children who are not day-time pupils.

Generally, the cost is between €25 and €50 per night depending amongst other things on how long the child is in the centre. At those centres that open 24/7 aimed at night time workers, the price tends to be calculated on a monthly basis at between €250 and €400 a month.

Where are they?

There are nurseries with a night service in almost all main Spanish cities, although there are not many and they don’t tend to advertise their services much.

Ask your local nursery if they offer this service. It may be that they don’t now, but if they get enough requests, they could consider starting to do so.

Puerto de la Cruz

Responsible consumers The rights and obligations of consumers are being underlined in a special day full of information organised by the commercial department of the Puerto de la Cruz council and the local market.

The event is open to everyone and hopes to bring home to people the responsibility and power that we have as consumers and will be at the Salón de Actos in the Cofradía de Pescadores Gran Poder de Dios between 10am and 2pm on March 26.

Dear Dr. De La Flor Dear Dr. De La Flor,

antiviral therapies. There are two options:

For the second time in 18 months I have an outbreak of genital herpes. Is there anything to prevent them?

Your doctor may prescribe an antiviral drug for you to keep on hand in case you have another flare-up. You can take the pills for two to five days as soon as you notice sores or when you feel an outbreak coming on.

Sincerely, Jill

Dear Jill, You don’t give much info but I’ll try my best. One vital issue with repetitive genital herpes has to do with you and your spouse/partner or number of partners … It isn’t uncommon to have repetitive episodes of sexually transmitted conditions due to a ‘shared partner’… In that case, the first part of the treatment becomes pretty evident!

Treatment with antiviral drugs can help patients who are bothered by genital herpes outbreaks to stay symptomfree for longer. These drugs can also reduce the severity and duration of symptoms when they flare up. Drug therapy is not a cure, but it can make living with the condition easier.

Initial treatment: If you have symptoms such as sores when you’re first diagnosed with genital herpes, your doctor will usually give you a brief course (7-10 days) to relieve them or prevent them from getting worse.

Your doctor may keep you on the drugs longer if your sores don’t heal in that time.

After the first treatment, work with your doctor to come up with the best way to take

Intermittent treatment.

I

recently had a patient who suffers from schizophrenia plus mild mental retardation, he was laid off six weeks ago and now spends eight hours a day dropping CVs off at local hotels - “doctor, it always works” he said …

Suppressive treatment.

If you have outbreaks often, you may want to consider taking an antiviral drug every day.

For someone who has more than five or six outbreaks a year, this option can reduce the number of outbreaks by about 80 per cent. Many people who take the antiviral drugs daily have no outbreaks at all.

Taking daily suppressive therapy may also reduce the risk of transmitting the virus to a sex partner. Antiviral drugs reduce viral shedding, when the virus makes new copies of itself on the skin’s surface.

Side effects with these drugs are considered mild.

Acyclovir is the oldest one on the market, and its safety has been documented in people taking suppressive therapy for several years.

People taking suppressive therapy should see their doctor at least once a year to decide if they should continue.

You may find taking the pills every day inconvenient, the drugs may not work for you, or you may naturally have fewer outbreaks as time goes on. Make sure you ask your GP for the treatment option that best suits your needs.

Resolution:

Dear Dr. De La Flor, My sister has been diagnosed with a benign breast tumor. What should I do?

Sincerely, Sandra

Dear Sandra, First, do not panic.

If the doctors said benign, the tumour has an excellent prognosis. Most benign conditions are not genetic, therefore continue with your self-exam and imaging tests according to your age.

If you notice any breast changes, notify them to your GP right away. 80 per cent of all breast lumps are benign, which means they’re not cancerous. Benign breast lumps usually have smooth edges and can be moved slightly when you push against them.

They are often found in both breasts. There are several

common causes of benign breast lumps, including normal changes in breast tissue, breast infection or injury, and medicines that may cause lumps or breast pain. The types of benign breast conditions include:

Fibrocystic changes.

Especially for those 35 to 45 years of age. Fluctuations in hormones during normal monthly menstrual cycles can create changes in the breasts that are referred to as fibrocystic changes. Lumps are usually bilateral and increase in size and tenderness just prior to menstrual bleeding.

They occasionally have nipple discharge as well.

The lumps are milk ducts and surrounding tissues that have grown and dilated to form cysts. The cysts rapidly enlarge in response to hormones released near menstruation. The lumps may be hard or rubbery and may be felt as a single (large or small) breast lump.

MARTIAL ARTS DEVELOPED BY A WOMAN

Simple Cysts.

Simple cysts are fluid-filled sacs that usually occur in both breasts. Tenderness and lump size often change with the woman’s menstrual cycle.

Fibroadenomas.

Fibroadenomas are the most common benign tumours found in the female breast. They are solid, round, rubber y lumps that move freely in the breast when pushed upon and are usually painless. Fibroadenomas are the result of excess formation of lobules (milk-producing glands) and surrounding breast tissue. They occur most often between the ages of 20 and 30.

Your GP should examine you if you find: an area that is distinctly different from any other area on either breast; a lump in or near the breast or underarm that persists through the menstrual cycle; a change in the size, shape, or contour of the breast; a mass or lump, which may feel as

European property investors have place Spain in a privileged fifth position on their list of preferred places to do business.

According to the consultants, CB Richard Ellis in a survey carried out among over 340 investors, European investors affirm that the Spanish market is living moments of opportunity with returns on investment historically attractive. Ellis’ analysis is that the investment in Spanish property will be more than the €3,329 million it attracted last year.

Spanish Capital markets specialist Adolfo Ramírez Escudero, of CBRE España stated, “the reason we haven’t seen even higher levels of investment is the lack of product which is in line with the demand.

According to the study, Germany is in the top spot for European investors, with almost a third planning some investment there during 2011 compared to 18 per cent in a similar survey in early 2010.

Home rental

Rent increases

Rents rose an average of 1.2 per cent in Spain in January. Although less than the increase in the General Price Index which rose by 3.3 per cent, the increase is significant in that it confirms an upward trend.

The highest rises were seen in Galicia and Catalonia (1.5 per cent), Cantabria (1.4 per cent) and the Balearics (1.3 per cent). The Canaries, Valencia and the Basque country were all in line with the national average with the rest of the communities registering lower increases and Melilla none at all.

Housing trends

High living

In Spain, some 3.2 per cent of the population lives in large housing complexes and 64 per cent in apartments making it one of the European leaders in this kind of housing behind Latvia. As far as living conditions are concerned if you are one of the bucket under a leak brigade, take heart you are part of 17.6 per cent of the population who have leaks or dampness in their homes and 6.9 per cent of those interviewed claimed they didn’t have enough light in their homes.

In the report by Eurostat, they warned of the, “considerable” differences between the living conditions of the various members of the EU, with 41.2 per cent of Rumanian homes for example lacking a bath or shower and 42.5 per cent without private toilet facilities.

ry. Sales increased in 11 regions led by the Basque country with a massive 30 per cent increase in sales followed by Catalonia at 15.9 per cent, Ceuta and Melilla at 15.6 per cent, the Balearic Islands at 14.5 per cent and Castilla y León at 12.2 per cent.

Andalusia saw over 88,000 properties sold, Valencia, Catalonia and Madrid over 60,000 in each region. Purchases by foreign residents rose by 20.8 per cent to a total of 29,615 transactions, with the most popular area Alicante where 7,204 homes were bought by non-Spanish residents, 24.3 per cent of the total in that area.

Sceptics put the increase down to the increase in IVA (Spanish VAT) in the middle of the year and the loss of the tax privileges for those earning over €24,000 for transactions made after the end of the year, but January results would seem to confirm that the trend is upwards with sales increasing by 19.6 per cent over January 2010 figures and 43.1 per cent over December 2010. Andalusia, Catalonia, Valencia and Madrid continue to be the most active regions registering 58.8 per cent of the total sales.

Mortgage clause: have to pass on the full extent of rate cuts.

In what could prove to be a landmark move, a Spanish judge has agreed to review a class action brought by bank user group ADICAE against 45 entities for their abuse of the floor clause.

The Madrid court has even offered to delay by two months its examination of the case to allow as many customers as possible to sign up to the action. ADICAE calculates that banks across Spain saved up to 10 billion euros in 2010 alone as a result of the clause, which it wants ruled null and void in mortgage contracts. In a separate ruling, a court in Seville has also declared that floor clauses inserted by a number of named banks were against the law.

Bank worry Spanish banks may be forced to scrap their traditional policy of inserting a selfprotection clause in mortgage contracts to ensure they do not lose out if interest rates fall too low.

Almost every bank in the country includes a minimum interest rate applicable to home loans, irrespective of the official interest rate on which the loans are based (usually the Euribor).

With Euribor rates at their lowest for years, hundreds of thousands of mortgage holders are missing out on the true savings due to the so-called ‘floor clauses’, which ensure the banks do not

Planning your child’s bedroom A

s stated in our last edition, the bedroom plays a major role in our health and wellbeing and designing your children’s bedroom is often a conflict between providing a calm, restful room for your children and a space in which they can sleep, play, work on the computer, listen to music, entertain friends, watch television etc.

Try and involve your children in the design of their bedrooms – you might be surprised by your children’s preferences - they can develop a strong attraction, or dislike, for certain colours and patterns at a very young age.

A lot of second and third bedrooms in apartments can be quite small so space is often the biggest decider when it comes to the layout of the room. Plain, light coloured walls and a white ceiling are the best ways of making a room appear bigger. Cork boards and white boards give children the chance to change their posters and write their comments without ruining your walls at the same time.

Loft beds can be incredibly useful in a small bedroom

One of the best things you can do for your children is provide sufficient storage, preferably with doors, so that at the end of the day everything can be put away, instantly turning their bedroom into a more rest inducing place.

Try and encourage children to pick curtains and bedcovers with timeless designs – cartoon characters and pop stars can quickly become out of favour.

Patterns are great as they can hide a multitude of spilt drink and food stains. Stencils are a great way of adding design to a bedroom, they are easy to use and are available in a range of designs from fairies to whales.

Theming a bedroom is great fun for kids but make sure it’s something they really want – just because you always wanted a jungle bedroom doesn’t mean they do.

The most important piece of furniture is, of course the bed.

It’s important to choose one that will grow with your child and wood is often the longer lasting and more versatile option. There are some fantastic space saving bed / desk / storage combinations available nowadays and with

these and beds in general the key is; the stronger, more durable the better. Buy the best bed you can afford – apart from providing the best support for your child’s back you just know the bed’s going to also be used as a trampoline, fort and fight mat at least. Keeping the bed at a low height can also maximise space and if there are bunk beds in the room try to make sure they are easily accessible and there is plenty of space around the ladders for safety.

Avoid furniture with sharp corners.

If it is a shared space, and there’s enough room to do so, why not try to make sure each child has a space they can

call their own, use furniture imaginatively to break the room in two, preferably at a height under three feet or you’ll end up creating two much smaller spaces, or maybe paint one side of the room in one colour and the other in another, complementary, colour. Strong lighting for work spaces is important but try to keep other lighting subtle and remember to use the special child safety sockets when possible.

Whilst it probably means a running battle, try and encourage your children to keep their bedroom as clutter free as possible – it will help them, and you, get a good night’s rest.

Island gardening

Bedding plants I

n northern climes, this time of year is traditionally when we sort out our flower beds, tubs, baskets and borders with summer annuals.

Bedding plants and bulbs are really those that are used to make a temporary show for example hardy bulbs such as tulips and hyacinths and hardy and half-hardy perennials like chrysanthemums, geraniums and pelargoniums. They can even include tender shrubs usually reserved as indoor pot plants such as the castor oil plant.

However, we generally think of bedding plants as those half-hardy annuals or half-hardy perennials which are planted out to give us a blaze of colour through the summer months. Year after year British gardeners bought and planted out their blue lobelia, white alyssum and red salvias, until that is new varieties and colours began to creep in. These days, borders glow with dahlias, slipper

plants (calceolarias), cock’s combs (celosias), petunias and begonias.

It can be tempting to import seeds to the Islands and try and reproduce the much loved ‘cottage’ garden style with its towering hollyhocks, sweet peas, delphiniums, foxgloves, lupins, wallflowers, nicotianas, sweet williams, honesty, phlox, stocks, marigolds, busy lizzies, fuchsias and a long etc.

However be ready for some surprises. Alyssum and lobelia planted here for example tend not to stay in the compact

clumps we are used to and shoot up into straggly unkempt looking clutches. Many of the scented varieties do not give the same strength of scent here for some reason and can be a disappointment and of course there is the danger of imported varieties affecting the rich variety of endemic flora of the Canaries.

The Islands boast over 500 endemic plants, Tenerife alone has over 140 of them, many are salt or temperature tolerant and there is an ideal plant for any part of your

garden or home. Plant an afollado (viburnum tinus) bush at the back of a flower bed for a burst of early summer creamy white blossom and combine it with a climbing yellow wild jasmine, sweet scented white broom and the famous red tajinaste or tower of jewels. Tabaiba rojas look good in the middle of beds adding a splash of colour and can be combined with blue or white tajinastes for bulk and colour. Lágrimas de la virgin is a stunning allium bulb and amaryllis, despite being an incomer, also do well here planted outside and bicacaros look glorious trained down a bank. Baskets, walls and the front of flower beds look well with any of the varieties of lotus which are also very good as ground cover.

DIY Handy Hints

Stain removals E

ven in the most careful of environments, accidents to furniture can happen. Don’t despair, there are ways to help repair the damage and avoid a costly replacement.

due to the thinness of the veneer. For solid wood proceed as follows. Rub the burn with metal polish, scrape and sand the surface. Place wet blotting paper over the mark, cover with glad wrap and leave overnight. Then polish as normal.

Prevention is always better than cure.

Although there are many commercial furniture spray cleaners, it is always a good idea once a month to add extra protection to your wood by applying a 100 per cent Beeswax product. Ensure when this is applied it is thoroughly polished into the wood leaving no residue.

 Serious Burns

 Grease

Remove grease at soon as possible using a paper towel, if left untreated for any time, it will leave a permanent dark mark.

Wipe over the area with a soft cloth that has been dipped in a solution of equal parts vinegar and water.

 Alcohol Stains

Blot up spill immediately and rub the area with Brasso (metal polishing fluid).

Then polish along the grain with a soft cloth.

 Water Marks

Mop up as soon as possible as water will cause unvarnished or un-waxed wood to swell. Allow surface to dry, then rub, as for alcohol stains, with a metal polish, making sure you rub along the grain of the wood.

 Heat Marks

To prevent heat marks use table mats to protect the wood. However, if damage does occur, rub metal polish along the grain or apply a paste of vegetable oil and salt.

Leave for a couple of hours and polish.

 Slight Burns

On veneered wood you may need to cut out the damage and insert a new piece,

These may require professional treatment, but if you feel confident to do this yourself proceed as follows. Scrape out the burnt part with a sharp knife. Fill the scar with matching wood filler. Allow to dry and sand down with fine sand paper. Paint the area to match the grain with artists paints.

 Dents

Treat as soon as possible. Dented veneer may split and then will need to be cut out and replaced. Fill the dent with warm water and leave to swell.

 Scratches

Use a matching coloured wax crayon or boot polish and rub into the scratch. Rub with beeswax polish and a drop of linseed oil, polish well.

 Stuck Paper

Paper that has become stuck to the wood can be removed by rubbing baby oil in. Leave this for a few minutes then gently peel away, removing any residue with a dry soft cloth.

 To revive dull polish

Make the following mixture – two spoons turpentine, two spoons white vinegar, two spoons of methylated spirits and one spoon of linseed oil. Mix together well and apply with a soft dry cloth.

 To remove surplus polish

Mix equal parts vinegar and water, apply with a damp cloth and wipe off immediately.

Heating

Electric radiators T

he recent cold snap has made many of us look again at ways of heating our properties.

If you don’t need a great deal of heating in your property and you wish to use the heating unit for only a short or medium period of time, an electric radiator could be a good option. They are clean, safe and easy to install. Some are fitted to the wall and others are on wheels to be relocated in each room in turn as needed.

Thermo electric systems use 30 per cent

less electricity than standard systems and have a sensor and thermostat for improved safety and cost control. There are three types of thermo electric radiators, liquid, dry or ceramic. They don’t dry out the atmosphere or give off strange smells and don’t contaminate or produce gases, smoke or residues. Modern systems are made out of materials which resist the wear and tear of time and corrosion. Most systems are digital and often also contain an hour by hour programmer.

New hydrotherapy and sports complex

G

uía de Isora mayor Pedro Martín recently inaugurated a new municipal hydrotherapy, sports and health complex in the town centre.

Amongst the hundreds who attended the opening event were representatives of local residents and sports associations, chiefs of the construction company responsible for the work, the technical team who designed the centre, various councillors and many residents.

The building, which was constructed on a budget of €4.2 million, consists of three heated swimming pools (one of which is of Olympic stand-

ard), two saunas, a hydromassage jacuzzi area, two squash courts and areas for gymnastics and other activities.

It is built on three levels, and also has showers, baths, a machine room, spaces reserved for a cafeteria, accesses adapted for handicapped people, as well as a lift, car park and a big exterior plaza.

Pedro Martín, showing his satisfaction with the project, commented that, “this is such an improvement, not only in that it is a good installation, but also in terms of what we can now offer to the population”. Even the youngest can learn to swim, youngsters can swim to competition level, and it will also be a place where

T.E.I.D.E.

Osteoporosis screening The English charity T.E.I.D.E. – Tenerife Excursions for Infirm and Disadvantaged Children Exchange are holding a series of osteoporosis screenings, carried out

by Rex Mallett, M.Sc C Eng,.

T

he screenings are taking place in Equipo Hire, La Camella (opp Rest. Biblioteca) on Friday March 25th , Saturday March 26th, Monday March 28th and Tuesday March 29th.

To make an appointment call Jim Hunter on 669444617 or 922 720920. According to Jim this test would cost somewhere in the region of €300, but here you pay just €20 and all proceeds are going towards the T.E.I.D.E. project, which takes underprivileged Canarian children to England on holiday.

adults and older people can exercise, relax, or even do rehabilitation exercises.

The sports complex will be open from April 1, but you can sign up now, in the reception area of the building, which is well positioned, near to the cultural and youth centres, and close to the TF-82.

It will be open Monday to Friday from 11.15am to 9.15pm and Saturdays 9am to 2pm.

Prior to opening, various activities can be practised, including maintenance, body tonic, swimming for adults, children and pregnant women, aquagym and healthy back, with a weekly season ticket costing only €3.

Public hospitals

Another promise!

Canarian health minister Fernando Bañolas has promised that the new hospitals being built in north and south Tenerife “will be ready by early 2013”.

B

añolas made the promise in Parliament after being called to appear to explain the latest delays in completion dates. “We are making every effort to finish the work, 80 per cent of which will be completed by the end of 2012.

Both hospitals will be operational during the first quarter of 2013” he said, adding that the delays had been caused largely by the constant increases in the range of facilities planned for the hospitals. Members of the public in both parts of the island could be forgiven for adopting a ‘wait and see’ attitude to this latest announcement of a date which is 11 years after the first promised opening was announced.

Katy column

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for your emails and phone calls about the new machine at the gym in last week’s column. I’m glad it gave you a giggle.

A

nd just for you this week, some breaking news about the proposed changes and the cuts to the Health Service.

The British Medical Association have sent their comments to Downing Street concerning Prime Minister David Cameron’s health care proposals. The gastroenterologists had a bad gut feeling about the proposals, and the neurologists stated that the Administration had a lot of nerve. The obstetricians felt Cameron was labouring under a misconception, and the spokesman for pathologists confronted him personally, telling him, “over my dead body!”

Pastimes

The paediatricians refused to discuss the issue, telling Cameron to simply ‘grow up!’ When asked their opinion, the psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, and the radiologists tersely commented that they could see right through it.

As to the total proposed package, the anaesthetists thought the whole idea was a gas, while the cardiologists didn’t have the heart to say no.

So will anything change for the better? Not according to the ophthalmologists who considered the proposed cuts extremely short-sighted. In this month’s issue of the Medical Journal, allergists voted to scratch the ideas, and the dermatologists strongly advised Mr. Cameron not to make any “rash” moves.

I’d like to say congratulations to John from Callao Salvaje. He’s about to be nominated for Gardener of the Year – or maybe not!!!

When his lady Joanne went to the UK for two weeks, she knew he’d be busy, so she left him lots of food in the freezer, and the only thing she asked him to do was to take the kitchen rubbish to the bins daily, and to water both the plants which she cherished and took great care of. When she returned home to Tenerife, she was delighted to see that the apart-

ment looked pristine, and that there was no sign of rubbish in the kitchen bin, and while he glowed with self satisfaction, she went to look at her two orchids.

Sadly they were dead and could not be revived. Quietly she said, “John, I thought you were going to water my plants?”

He replied,” I did”.

Taking him by the hand, she said, “show me darling”, and he took her into the very hot and very sunny kitchen and showed her two beautiful and vibrant plants. She led him into the bedroom where her two lovely orchid plants stood withered and dead. He looked gutted and said he never thought about the bedroom, as he was always sleepy by the time he climbed in due to working so hard while she was away. “Anyway” he said, “at least I kept the two on the kitchen window looking lovely”. “Ah yes” she replied, “It’s very hard to let silk flowers die, even if you never water them”.

It took a while for the penny to drop!

And I’d never say a word to anyone about his gardening skills. Nor would any of you I’m sure.

Until next time, take care of yourselves and especially of each other. katykennedy@telefonica.net, 616110930

Keeping Golf del Sur clean Dear Editor

A

s a new resident at Golf del Sur. I love the place where I am living and have been enjoying walking around the area and find it so very attractive and I have found some ‘hidden gems’.

However I am saddened by the lack of pride in the surrounding areas and obvious lack of services provided by the local authorities. They have recently spent a great deal of time and man power putting up road signs which obviously cost a great deal of money for the signs and the personnel needed to erect these signs. I feel that the money could have been better spent on road surfacing and better road markings. There are so many arrows facing the wrong way confusing drivers on the one way system.

The recycling bins outside the one hotel are overflowing and have not been emptied for at least two weeks. There aren’t enough recycling bins available so people are reluctant to recycle their refuse, builders’ r ubbish is dumped in some of the most attractive parts of the areas of open ground and no attempt is made to clear these places and make them more pleasant to walk in. I always think that if the area is clean and tidy people are less likely to dump rubbish. However,

they will need somewhere to take their building leftovers, therefore the local authorities should provide a recycling area. I’m sure there are many places available in the area for land fill.

I was shocked by the state of the small local beach. Surely it wouldn’t take that much time or money to clean it up and make it a more attractive place for holiday makers to spend time. I am sure that more families would visit the area if the beach was more ‘family friendly’.

Los Cristianos has managed to improve the beaches, so it can be done, it’s not the black sand that makes it unattractive it’s all the rubbish and debris that makes the area even dangerous.

Los Cristianos is a very good example of how a beach can be improved and make the place a popular place for families to spend their two weeks hard earned holidays.

As tourism is the bread and butter of this island surely money should be directed to maintaining the attractiveness and natural beauty of Golf del Sur. Margaret Wood, ‘concerned resident’ 104 Adelfas 1 Golf Del Sur San Miguel De Abona

Live Arico >>

A

deje town council have stated that they will be reinforcing regulations regarding pets and pet waste over the coming months.

According to the councillor for municipal services, Gonzalo Delgado Díaz, the latest news from the council is that owners who don’t clean up after their pets will face fines of up to €3,000.

However some residents have already asked at public meetings with the council why there are not more public bins on roadways and would it not be possible for the council to install a series of plastic bag dispensers for dog dirt as has been the case in other councils. At one meeting the mayor responded that they had examined this suggestion in the past but experience in other boroughs suggested that

Adeje clean up Pick it up

regardless of the availability of such bags the mess left by dogs was relatively similar. In other words, dirty dog owners are dirty dog owners whether there’s a plastic bag nearby or not.

Councillor Delgado Díaz said that under local bylaw Nº 27 “for health and security reasons” it is categorically forbidden to leave dog dirt anywhere that is considered a public area or publicly accessible.

It’s something to consider if you are planning to introduce a dog into your family. You may ask yourself the usual questions – can I take the animal for walks, am I happy to pay for all the relevant vaccinations, de-

Cabildo plans two new refuges A

ccording to local daily, Diario de Avisos, due to the high number of abandoned animals on the island, the Cabildo of Tenerife is planning to construct two new refuges, in Fasnia and La Orotava. Island councillor for agriculture, farming and fisheries, José Joaquin Bethencourt explained that despite the fact that the Cabildo has initiated various awareness campaigns to avoid the abandonment of animals and encourage adoptions, the existing refuges are still saturated.

Members of the team at the centre explain aspects of their work to visiting politicians

T

he Cabildo funded improvements at the animal rescue centre in La Tahonilla (the Centro de Recuperación de Fauna Silvestre, CRFS), in La Laguna, have been completed.

The conclusion of the works was attended by Cabildo president, Ricardo Melchior, and the councillor for the environment, Wladimiro Rodríguez, the regional government’s director general for environmental protection Emilio Atiénzar and La Laguna mayor

Fernando Clavijo. Melchior said that the work of the centre was very important in the maintenance of an environmental balance for the island, something appreciated by local councils, the insular authorities and the regional and national governments.

Wladimiro Rodríguez called the centre, “the best installation of its kind this side of the Pyrenees”.

The qualified team at the CRFS divide their time between caring for injured wild animals that have been found and

brought to them by members of the public, public bodies, diving clubs, fishermen, marina and small port operators or excursion boats and caring for the many young Cory’s shearwaters who lose their way on their first flights and become disoriented.

Every year they care for over 2,500 injured wild animals (birds, reptiles, mammals) who are cared for, nursed back to full health and as early as is deemed appropriate, released back into their natural environment. At the centre there is a huge outer cage to allow for

the care of the birds, which is of modern design and adapted for the centre’s (and the birds’) necessities. They also have a surgical theatre, an x-ray section, small and large recovery cages, two specially designed for aquatic animals, a turtle zone, a tortoise area, an emergency ward, and three reproduction and nursery wards.

As well as the work done in caring for injured animals, the centre also studies Tenerife wildlife in general, gathering statistics and collaborating on conservation and environmental education programmes.

 Do you want to make your pet a star or find him or her a partner? Maybe you’re looking for good homes for your pets’ offspring or a lost or abandoned animal, or need help looking for a missing animal. Send us a photograph and all the relevant information for our Pet’s Portrait. (Unfortunately photographs cannot be returned and please note that e-mails need to be accompanied by photos in JPEG or GIF format.)

The future refuges, for the care of dogs and cats, will be run by animal protection associations. A suitable plot of land has already been found in Fasnia, while the Cabildo continues to search for a plot in La Orotava. Regarding finance for the projects, Bethencourt added, “we not only have to construct the refuges, but we also need a continuing budget for their maintenance”.

Moscow Ballet returns

he Moscow Ballet is becoming a firm favourite among ballet aficionados in the Canary Islands and are returning again with a much loved ballet, Sleeping Beauty.

This is one of the great ballet scores, along with Swan Lake and Nutcracker, composed

by Tchaikovsky. French author Charles Perrault (1628 – 1703) wrote the original fairytale at the close of the 17th century.

He is credited with many of the most beloved stories, including Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots and Cinderella. This ballet, dating from 1890 featuring the well known story is choreographed by Marius Patipa, who has created a wonderful masterpiece of classical ballet that has stood the test of time. Lead roles will be danced by Ekaterina Bortyakova and Akzhol Mussakhanov.

The Moscow Ballet was

Flashmob record in Tenerife

Rudy and Ruiman and DJ Ray Castellano are the brains behind the record breaking flashmob event which took place in the Plaza de la Candelaria in Santa Cruz de Tenerife as well as other cities around the world such as London and Madrid on Saturday March 12th.

Over 250,000 people dancing simultanously is an amazing achievement, and the video of the event on Youtube had notched up 12 million hits within days of the event. According to the duo behind the event, Rudy and Ruiman, already well known internationally for their parodies and sketches, the event had two main objectives, “give international recognition to the Canaries and pay homage to Enrique González, father of the Ni Fú-Ni Fá group and of the Santa Cruz Carnaval”. Rudy admitted that he “cried when he saw the videos”.

One more reason to shop at Iceland Convenience on a plate

Friday

T

hey say you shouldn’t shop on an empty stomach, but Iceland shoppers will tell you that some advice is best turned on its head.

As regular visitors to the shop will confirm, the Iceland restaurant is an important part of the shopping experience, and many people will plan their day around breakfast, lunch or a midday/afternoon snack in this excellent café.

With a busy team, with chef Sarah, Rachel, Jean and Steph, the Iceland café offers pretty much everything you could ask for in a supermarket café and a lot more besides, from freshly made sandwiches and delicious cakes, served with only the best pots of English tea or Brazilian coffee, to a very extensive and changing menu. The café also offers a range of excellently priced offers from Tuesday to Thursday every week.

Open every day from 9am

ck a n S

Breakfast made batter, with chips and of course mushy peas. Their home made lasagna is another good seller, and quiches, pasta dishes and curries are also much sought after. There is freshly made soup of the day, plus vegetarian options and they stock wine and beers to serve with their meals.

Using a lot of the great English products on sale in the shop as well as fresh local vegetables and fruit, the café makes most of the food to order, but there is virtually no waiting time, even for a big order on a busy day, and there are always

to 5pm, one of the day-long favourite choices of many shoppers is the Iceland breakfast (large or small and ser ved all day), with bacon, sausage, egg, beans or tomato and toast.

They now also offer a healthy option with a lightly toasted bagel, a poached egg, grilled tomato and lean bacon. There is also a selection of breakfast sandwiches which can be made up in a bap or baguette if you prefer, and all are to eat in or take away – yes, even the large breakfast!

The regular menu offers regular snacks and lunches, pizza sticks, hamburgers, soup of the day, freshly baked bread, jacket potatoes with a delicious range of fillings, paninis and sandwiches, and side orders of coleslaw, onion rings, chips and salads. But you have to check out the daily menu boards for the specials – the day we were there you could choose from

homemade beef chilli and rice with grated cheese (€5), roast turkey and stuffing baguette (€3.50), homemade smoked ham and cheddar cheese tartlet served with chips or jacket potato and peas or salad (€5), and homemade sticky toffee sponge served with caramel sauce and ice-cream (€2.25). According to Rachel and Sarah the chilli is one of their best sellers and another big favourite among all their customers is Friday’s fillet of fish, an essential part of the menu every week, which can be cod or haddock in home

hot ready to go options like sausage rolls and pies. They know that people want their food with the minimum of fuss and delay, so convenience is essential while not stinting on quality of ingredients, preparation or service. And while many of their clients are here to shop as well as snack, they do have a steady stream of workers and residents in the Las Chafiras area who come to Iceland just for the food.

They even had a coach trip pull up a few weeks ago who were on a shopping spree and

Lunch chose the Iceland café as their preferred refuelling spot. And all the food is available to take away too.

The menu also changes to suit the time of year, so more hot meals in winter and salads and cold options in summer, as well as adding seasonal touches – hot cross buns at Easter and Christmas meals and puddings in December.

Rachel told us that they will soon be introducing cream teas onto the menu as well, and they offer toasted tea cakes and some quite enticing desserts too.

The small but busy team in the kitchen and behind the counter keep you well fed throughout the day, and between them they have a wealth of catering and service training and experience. They are there to make sure your food is freshly prepared and served as you like it. They will look after special needs and can even cater for parties or group events.

Keeping prices low and offering customers special deals is part of the Iceland

philosophy and that extends to the café with a series of excellent deals during the week. For example buy one breakfast and get the second one for half price. For snackers or at lunchtime you can have a freshly prepared sandwich, drink and a bag of crisps for €3.25, or a jacket potato with choice of filling and drink for just €4.25.

So next time you plan your shopping trip take time for lunch or a delicious snack at the Iceland café. There’s seating for up to 30 people inside (with full air conditioning)

and 36 outside, and they are happy to cater for large groups though it’s easier if you phone in advance.

So if its a quick snack or brunch before you shop, a full meal to set you up for the day or a takeaway for meals on the move, the Iceland cafe bar can offer all this and more.

New fish Nutrition

Fast cupcakes Electric cake baker.

Save sifting Ready made bread mixes. www.lakeland.co.uk

A new species of fish is becoming increasingly seen in our fish markets and stalls across Spain.

Known here as the lampuga or dorado, the Coryphaena hippurus is known in English by its Hawaiian name of Mahi Mahi or as the dolphin fish. It has well balanced nutritional properties and interesting gastronomic possibilities.

Well known and appreciated in the world of sport fishing, but it is relatively new in the lonjas (fish

markets) of Spain. Young members of the species are considered as oily fish, but adults are white fish in quality. Although it is better known on the American continent, this fish has already been appreciated in several Mediterranean destinations such as Valencia, Andalusia, the Balearics, Sicily and Malta where it is common to catch the younger examples during Autumn.

It’s a fish of the open sea and its name in Hawaiian means strong, referring to how hard it is to land an

adult specimen. The back is an intense green with tints of gold when the fish is alive turning to grey when killed.

Adults can be over two metres long and weigh over 30 kilos. The flesh is white, lightly rosy and firm.

Apart from its balanced nutritional qualities, its gastronomic options which allow every type of presentation from fried to stewed, as a large fish and particularly for kids, it’s easy to bone for serving. If you are choosing a piece for children, choose one furthest away from the head and remember it is always easier to find the bones when your choice has been sliced into loins (lomos) rather than cut into steaks.

Food poisoning

Safe salads

We’re coming up to salad season and it’s good to be reminded how we can safely enjoy all the best that the summer allotment has to offer.

Knowing how certain bacteria invade foods like lettuce is vital for safe food preparation. Raw foods are those which are most likely to cause food poisoning, the most common are vegetables and in particular salad ingredients.

However their consumption doesn’t have to be

dangerous, with some basic hygiene and food manipulation techniques you can avoid most of the risks.

Safety precautions Wash the vegetables thoroughly in clean water. If you are dealing with a leaf vegetable they should be washed leaf by leaf. It’s advisable to leave them in soak for about five minutes with abundant water and a few drops of bleach and rinse leaf by leaf to clear any

residue. Use the appropriate utensils and use them only for that task. Salads should be cut and prepared right before eating.

Storing things badly is practically equal to guaranteed contamination.

In a home environment, vegetables should be the minimum time possible at room temperature. They should be kept in the fridge at a maximum of 8ºC and you should avoid keeping them in hermetically sealed containers such as Tupperware. The best is in bags with holes so that they can breathe or failing that in a film-wrap covered colander, but pierce the wrap several times to make sure air can circulate. Don’t keep longer than five days in home fridges.

he cash was fruit of their latest campaign in El Corte Inglés at the end of January and beginning of February when 25 per cent of the total sales was donated to the Spanish National Cancer Association, AECC. The cheque was presented to the President of the AECC in Tenerife, Juan Julio Fernández, by José María Cortés, the commercial director of Fuentealta and Mónica Rumeu, director of the social responsibility programme of Fuentealta’s parent company, CIO.

Toxoplasmosis

Healthy ham

A new line of investigation would seem to indicate that the length of time a piece of ham takes to cure could be the key to whether or not it contains parasites which provoke toxoplasmosis.

A

n investigative group in Aragon have carried out a study in the University of Zaragoza, to evaluate the possible health risks especially in the risk groups like pregnant women.

T

hey carried out a series of analyses from seven to 14 months of the curing period. According to the director of the study, Susana Bayarri, the results underline the importance of the length of the curing period over and above, but in addition to the salt concentrations and the curing conditions.

Complementary studies are still required, but it’s hoped that their investigations will allow producers to make a safer product.

Local Elections >>

L

ocal elections take place on May 22nd and European residents have as much right to have their say and make their choices as the nationals.

With the restriction, at least at local level, of the vote from Spanish nationals living abroad, the foreign resident vote and in particular the European residents’ vote will have more importance than ever and in Arona, one party at least is out to get your attention, your input and your support.

That party is CAN, a nationalist party that embraces the additions and contributions that can be made by European residents in the borough and the island and is actively encouraging and helping Euroresidents to register on the electoral roll.

It’s a young party with an average age of 35 and led by José Fuentes Hernández, but the proposed voice of the Euroresidents within their group is Marco Arosio, a polyglot tourism specialist with a lifetime of experience and contacts in the field.

We spoke to Marco recently and he told us, “our best and heartfelt wish is that the Euroresidents are aware of their right to vote and use it. That is very, very important, and these days with the crisis and the whole conjunction of world events, even more so”.

Recently returned from the Milan trade fair as part of his job

Marco and José

Centro Arona

Voice of the Euroresidents in the tourism industry, Marco told us he was appalled that there’d been no political representative at the most important Italian trade fair, bearing in mind that the island attracts around 100,000 Italian tourists a year and Arona welcomes a high percentage of them. As someone well known in the field, Marco was contacted by one of the major Italian tour operators for information on operating new routes to Tenerife and to Arona in particular – a job he believes the local politicians should have been doing.

He and his party want to make a positive contribution to the borough though, not just criticise where they believe the existing administration has gone wrong. Among proposals they have already made and are working on for their election manifesto is, improved security in the borough, looking after tourism and a market in the Playa de las Américas area with crafts, agricultural products and a range of items to draw in cus-

tomers to the area and help to stimulate local businesses.

They continue to push for a safe and extended bicycle path for residents and visitors, and they want to stimulate the night life in the area with more activities in the streets and encouraging local businesses with reductions in taxes and rates. “The council are boasting that they haven’t increased the IBI (annual property tax) for the last two years – they didn’t need to, they increase it by 21 per cent and 10 per cent in the first two years – well above the rate of inflation and water and rubbish collection charges have gone up 16 per cent too,” Marco informed us.

Whilst the crisis lasts they believe that the taxi tax should be dropped and that for example water rates should be charged depending on use. “It isn’t fair for example that a newspaper shop pays the same for their water supply as a hairdresser’s.”

All their economic proposals have been investigated fully and

they believe that they are more than viable.

As a modern European style party, the environment is very important to CAN, but they believe resolving issues is not just a case of throwing money and resources at problems. “A lot can be done with very little and a great deal of it is down to education. Do you know that in El Hierro, the children in school are taught how to clean their teeth with one glass of water rather than the six to seven litres that even the most careful user normally wastes?” If for any reason they cannot include their environmental education plans within the school curriculum they will organise outside events in the main population areas. Fun days where kids (and their parents) can enjoy themselves and learn to look after the environment. They want to see more recycling not just of glass and paper etc. but of clothes and shoes as is done in other areas of Europe.

Realistically the party does not

expect to win the borough outright, “although that would be wonderful,” but they do expect to get enough support to give them a strong say in the major decisions to be made in the area over the next four years. Marco told us that current, independent surveys in Madrid estimate that they will win seven seats in comparison with the current ruling party’s eight. However they are not resting on their laurels, “it’s heads down and continue to work”.

They now have over 1,200 members in the borough.

Given that their total vote tally last time was 1,681, it’s a figure that augurs very well indeed for this relatively new party which

can count on so many experienced members in their team.

They are determined to be the voice of the European residents, however they are going into this election fight with a, “humble attitude”, but with lots of hope that they will achieve a high number of local councillors, “so that we don’t disappoint our voters. We consider ourselves a lot more prepared than any of the other teams in the borough and indeed across the Canaries.

A lot of electoral teams would like to have the standard and level of experience that we’ve got.” Marco proudly informed us, adding, “I believe in this project. If you are going to do something, you do it properly”.

Anniversary >>

L

idl supermarkets have announced a series of great giveaways as a ‘thank you’ to the more than five million clients who have discovered that ‘a Lidl goes a long way’ since the opening of their first supermarket in the Canaries just over a year ago.

Celebrating their first anniversary in the islands at a presentation in the Santa María del Mar store in Tenerife, Lidl’s regional director Guillermo Rico said “in only the first year of operations in the Canarian archipelago clients shopping at Lidl have saved over €30 million.

“Since day one of operations we haven’t simply guaranteed to offer clients the best quality: price ratio in the Canaries but we have also hoped that our presence in the region would contribute to a significant reduction in the cost of the weekly shopping basket. 12 months on we can say, with pride, that this has in fact been the case”.

According to the regional department of industry, tourism and commerce, Rico told press, the cost of the weekly shop has dropped by 18 per cent since

Happy Birthday

Lidl goes a long way!

‘Now save more than ever’

2009. In fact the company have calculated that families who buy Lidl products on a weekly basis can save up to €2,500 annually on their shopping bill.

Since Lidl opened their first shop in Puerto de la Cruz on

February 4th 2010 they have continued to expand and now operate nine shops in Tenerife, four in Gran Canaria, one in Lanzarote and one in Fuerteventura, and their objective in the islands is to eventually

have a presence in all the important towns in the archipelago.

They currently employ 600 people and have always worked in conjunction with local council employment initiatives and the regional employment bureau to

offer work first and foremost to Canarian residents.

Their large distribution centre in Güímar also employs over 100 people directly, and is designed to offer optimum product rotation, ensuring products arrive at stores in premium condition.

The centre has four temperature zones to preserve products in ideal storage conditions: the ‘fresh zone’ (2ºC), the ‘fruit and vegetable zone’ (14ºC), the ‘chocolate zone’ (18ºC) and the ‘freezer zone’ (-26ºC).

To mark their first and very successful year of performance in the Canaries, from March 24th to April 17th all Lidl shoppers who spend more than €20 will be able to take part in a draw with 220 terrific prizes to be won: • 15 €2,500 cash prizes

• 5 trips to New York for two • 100 Ipod Nano 8 GB

• 100 €50 shopping vouchers

Boxing

By George Reed

Historical fights

E

very so often, a fight sears itself permanently into the memory, and there have been many such fights throughout boxing history which have become part of boxing lore.

Way back in June 1938, the return fight between Joe Louis and Max Schmeling was one of the most eagerly awaited fights in ring history. Two years earlier Schmeling, from Germany, had knocked out Louis in the 12th round, and the result was amplified around the world for the Nazi propaganda machine, so the return contest between the two was seen by people as a dress rehearsal for World War II, as if Louis represented President Roosevelt and Schmeling represented Hitler.

A crowd of 70,000 expected to see something unforgettable and they weren’t disappointed. The fight took place in New York, and Louis’ destruction of Schmeling was awesome as he battered the German to the canvas four times in the first two minutes of the first round, and broke two vertebrae in his back as he turned away from the punches Louis was hitting to the body with tremendous power.

It may be classed as the most ‘famous’ one-round fight in history, but the verdict for the most ‘ferocious’ first round ever fought in the ring must go to the fight between Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns on April 15th 1985. It was billed as ‘The Fight’ and was for the middleweight championship of the world. No-one who saw it will ever forget that epic first round, as Marvellous Marvin and Thomas the Hitman traded more punches in those three minutes than you would sometimes see in an entire world title fight.

They tore into each other from the first bell like two wild animals, with both fighters landing with terrifying hooks, full-blooded punches which were meant to destroy the opposition.

Both were taking heavy punishment and we would later learn that Hearns broke his right hand when he staggered Hagler with a tremendous uppercut, yet even though he must have been in severe pain, Hearns traded punch for punch with Hagler during the remainder of that electrifying first round, in which the shaven-headed Hagler received a nasty looking long vertical cut on his forehead with 30 seconds left of the round.

Hagler realised that the cut was a shocker and that he would have to go for a quick knock-out to win the fight. Yet, even though Hearns came out in the second round on unsteady legs, he countered with a right hand punch which split open a second cut under Hagler’s right eye, but even though his face was masked with blood he drove Hearns back on the ropes and pounded him with punches.

It looked as if Hearns’ energy was ebbing away as he came out for the third round and he threw everything into one last effort, aiming at Hagler’s split forehead. He connected on target with one crashing punch which opened the cut further, enough to make the referee halt the fight and call the doctor to the ringside, and as a torrent of blood was obscuring Hagler’s vision, the referee asked him if he could see. Hagler’s answer was unforgettable: “Can I see? I’m not missing him am I?”.

The fight was allowed to continue, with Hagler knowing that he would be pulled out of the fight at the end of the round, unless he could stop Hearns. He proved what a great fighter he was by ignoring Hearns’ jabs to his head wound and landed him a left hook counter, a vicious right, and two mighty uppercuts, which sent his tormentor to the canvas. Hearns showed his bravery by hauling himself to his feet at the count of nine.

But the referee knew he was in no state to continue and called a halt.

It will be remembered as the most exciting middleweight title fight in boxing’s history.

Adeje Sport Festival

Blessing

Ramírez defends divine help

Given the high incidence of obesity among Spain’s younger generation it’s good to see local councils using their coffers to fund sporting initiatives such as the Adeje Sport Festival.

Much more than one sport-related event, the festival is a social and sporting occasion running over a number of days, with a whole host of locally based happenings and attractions. Dance for senior citizens, Olympics for the kids, the fastest marathon in the world, a sporting photography competition, and is scheduled in various sporting locations in the borough from Friday March 25th to Sunday April 3rd.

In recent years Adeje seems to be working hard and quite successfully in promoting the upgrading of the profile of sport within the borough, with classes, free or at low cost, in so many different disciplines that no child or adult isn’t catered for. This Festival is another community initiative bringing together the borough’s amateur sporting participants, as well as representatives from local health and sports related business. It is also part of the ongoing transformation of Adeje into a region that

L

uses sporting tourism as a tool to attract national and international sports men and women and teams to its shores to train and relax.

Enhamed forced to leave

Spanish Michael Phelps

Medal-winning blind swimmer Enhamed Enhamed has left the Canaries to live in the Balearic Islands after failing to find sponsorship to enable him to continue training and competing.

Despite his unprecedented haul of medals at the Paralympic games in Beijing and other major championships, the swimmer hailed as the most successful athlete ever in the Canaries says he was forced to choose between living in his native Gran Canaria or continuing his swimming career.

“It is hard to leave home and family but no-one wanted to know any more. I discussed my plans with several potential clubs but there was simply no interest and I have accepted an offer to swim for a club in the Balearics as of now” said Enhamed, whose four golds in Beijing earned him the nickname the ‘Spanish Michael Phelps’.

His enforced departure has been greeted with disbelief in sporting circles. “Politicians were queuing up to have their photo taken with him after his Olympic and World success but are not prepared to help him now” said one irate colleague.

Eufemiano Fuentes

‘Doping doctor’ signs for Universidad Football side Universidad de Las Palmas have created headlines by signing up Spain’s most notorious doping figure as the new club doctor.

The second division B outfit have recruited Eufemiano Fuentes, who faces two possible criminal prosecutions for supplying performance-enhancing drugs to athletes. Fuentes, who is a qualified coach, will also help out with coaching for the rest of the season as Universidad bid for promotion to the second divi-

sion. The news made the front pages of Spain’s sports dailies, which continue to point the finger at the controversial doctor for his involvement with suspected drug cheats. Club sources have ridiculed suggestions that Fuentes has been helping behind the scenes since the beginning of the year. “Yes, he was consulted about player diets ahead of the Cup game against Atlético Madrid but the fact that we lost 0-5 at home speaks for itself in terms of whether he did anything unethical” said a source.

as Palmas coach Juan Manuel Ramírez says there was nothing wrong with seeking a bit of heavenly help for his troubled squad ahead of the game against Valladolid.

Ramírez was quizzed by journalists after it emerged that the club chaplain had been invited to pay a visit to the dressing room, apparently to give his blessing to the players before the match. “I see nothing wrong with it. Rock Balboa got his priest’s help before a world title fight in the film and it does no harm to get help from whatever quarter to ward off injuries, avoid problems in the squad etc. But the games are won on the pitch” explained the coach, adding that he was surprised that the chaplain’s presence had caused a stir.

Whatever the motive, Father Jaime’s unexpected call-up worked, as Las Palmas beat Valladolid 2-0 to record their first win in 15 games.

Anyone wishing to join the group on their next outing can call Clive 922797640.

F

uerteventura will, after all, host the World Kitesurfing and Windsurfing Championship this year following assurances from the island’s Cabildo that the required funding will be available.

The local corporation met with the organisers to clarify recent speculation that it was having second thoughts about contributing to the popular event, which is considered one of the biggest publicity draws for Fuerteventura. However, the Cabildo has set as a condition that it must be considered as part of the organising team for the event. “We have repeatedly asked to be more than mere sponsors. If we help organise we can be involved in decisions on funding priorities and will know where every penny goes” said a spokesman.

Masters going right to the wire

Ironcraft also kept up the chase as they took apart Cana Bar with ease and look to be back to the form that won them the title two seasons back.

n the most exciting Soccer Experience Masters League thus far there still is nothing between the top four sides, each team still within touching distance of the Master’s crown and with three games to go, all is to play for!

New 7s team required If you or some friends fancy joining one of the leagues, new teams are needed for the Monday night Championship open age group league. Also the present Masters League on a Thursday and Friday will be changing its name for the up and coming new season to ‘La Liga’ and it will now be an open aged league so any of you younger guys who can only play on a Thursday or Friday evening, please get in touch.

Masters League summary With the league leaders Taylors Lounge resting, it was the turn of the Spartans team to put the pressure on.

However their opponents are also in with an outside shout for the title and the game lived up to its billing as both sides really gave their all relentlessly throughout the game. They went from end to end with non-stop goal mouth action and with nothing to choose between the sides, it was only fair that they went away sharing the spoils in a 3:3 draw.

A mention must go to Italian Dan for a wonderful volley two minutes before the whistle.

Exiles Masters failed in their quest to make ground on the leaders as they took a shock defeat at the hands of Tal’s very dangerous Eclipse Café team, who themselves are getting stronger with each game.

The Rovers once again showed their ability this week taking apart a weakened LA Masters side 11:2.

Jerome’s Spanish Style moved themselves up into contention with

It was Spartan’s turn to put the pressure on

yet another win over Harleys this time but were made to work really hard for it, only just hanging on to a slender 6:5 win. Oliver’s Masters also made great strides up the table as they look to be finishing the season strongly beating Tenerife Warriors comfortably 11:2.

Tenerife Solicitors did manage to pick up three points in a hard fought game with Direct Telecom who are not an easy opponent this season, as they also never give the game up until the final whistle and IC Media also picked up three points with a convincing win over Bar Exiles.

Championship League summary

Over 35s League summary

With runaway leaders Linekers resting, the chasing pack looked to make up ground this week and there were some surprise results registered. Pueblo Torviscas, reigning championship holders, were beaten

by Olivers who look revitalised this season and capable of beating anyone.

A huge amount of credit must go to them for their never say die attitudes.

Scruffy Macs continued their undefeated record as they posted yet another victory, this time over a very unfortunate Connection 6 side who really gave it their all but fell short in the last five minutes. LA Veterans kept the chase on as they picked up all three points once again this week.

The Pub were on the receiving end of some fine finishing from the LA boys.

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 639 :: 25/03/2011 - 07/04/2011

A run by Durbarbier set up the goal against Córdoba

12/03/2011 Numancia 2:1 Tenerife More typical away day blues for the blanquiazules on their long trip to Soria in Castilla y Leon.

In the first half both teams enjoyed spells of possession but neither side created too much danger in front of goal apart from an overhead kick by Tenerife striker Natalio which was saved. Numancia took the lead on 15 minutes as Barkero produced a tremendous effort from outside of the box to beat the outstretched Sergio in goal. The home side began to take control with Flaño and goal scorer Barkero creating headaches for the blanquiazul defence. The CD Tenerife equaliser came against the run of play on 24 minutes. A deep cross by Julio Álvarez was headed back across the goal

by Pablo Sicilia and Numancia player Nagore inexplicably headed the ball into his own net. It was a great goal, shame it was at the wrong end for him but for Tenerife it was an important lifeline.

The second period started with some decent blanquiazul pressure and it was when they were playing their best football of the afternoon that a rare break by Numancia terminated in a penalty being awarded.

Not too many grumbles about the decision either as the ball clearly hit the hand of Kitoko in the box. The penalty was duly converted and once again Tenerife fell behind on their travels. Back in the lead

Second Division 21/03/2011 CLUB

(and with Tenerife seemingly lacking the spirit required in their desperate situation) the home side may have increased their lead but Sergio was brave in goal. In fact he picked up various stitches in a nasty head wound for his troubles.

In the closing stages Tenerife pressed and almost equalised as Natalio´s shot hit the post as he rounded the keeper after being forced wide. No luck for the blanquiazules and this feeling was enhanced in the last minute as a handball in the penalty area by ex-player Culebras was not given their way. Another ref on another day would have perhaps given the penalty but it was not to be and Tenerife lost yet again.

They are very rarely thrashed but usually lose just by the odd goal. With just two away wins this season (Villarreal b and Salamanca) it is difficult to see just where another away victory will materialise.

19/03/2011 CD Tenerife 1:2 Córdoba This was simply a mustwin game for Tenerife as they attempted to haul themselves out of trouble and in the process drag Córdoba into the relegation dogfight.

Nino was cleared by the Spanish F.A. to play after they rescinded his yellow card the week before at Numancia.

Improving Julio Álvarez pulled up during the warm up minutes before the game

and ruled himself out of the proceedings. It was a blow to the team and the formation was hurriedly changed with new signing Igor making his debut alongside Nino on the front-line. The six foot plus Igor flattered to deceive and the blanquiazules have perhaps bought the only big lump forward who does not make a nuisance of himself in the box.

After a minute’s silence for the victims of the Japan earthquake the game started in the warm spring sunshine in Santa Cruz in front of 14,000 supporters. Fantastic chances fell to both sides and the score could have easily been 1:1 after just a couple of minutes. The blanquiazules have become their own worst enemy in a way and the anxiety of most of the players is clear to see.

On 12 minutes there was joy for the long suffering fans as Durbarbier made a good run down the left and his cross was met by Nino who headed the ball into the corner of the goal.

It was a great start to the match, surely they could go on from this and secure three very important points? They timidly attacked but lacked conviction. A leader on the pitch is desperately needed and worryingly there does not seem to be a player who will take the responsibility at present. Marc Bertrán is possibly the quietest captain in the history of football and a change is needed as soon as possible.

On the half an hour mark a ‘soft’ free-kick was given away

on the wing by Bertrán after a Córdoba counter attack.

Callejón whipped in the freekick which surprised goalkeeper Sergio Aragoneses and the ball ended up in the top corner of the goal. The collective sighs from the terraces of “here we go again” must have drifted down onto the pitch and you could see heads drop. There is no belief and the players are scared. They have the responsibility of keeping this club in professional football and they do not appear to have the backbone to do it!

The half-time 1:1 scoreline was acceptable but it was hoped that the blanquiazules would improve in the second half and go on to win the match.

This was especially important as the score flashed up that local and relegation rivals Las Palmas were winning away.

The second period saw an early golden chance fall to Córdoba striker Callejón but his shot crashed against the bar. It was a huge let off but shortly after Tenerife were reduced to ten men when Melli was red carded after hacking down a Córdoba striker clean through on goal. Worse was to follow as Alberto Aguilar put the away side in front with a fierce shot at point blank range. This was a nightmare scenario on a day that had been built as the ‘first of 13 finals’. The game drifted away from Tenerife with the referee playing his part in Córdoba’s time wasting tactics.

The home side did rally with twenty minutes remaining and Nino was the player to blame for this wave of emotion. He ran around like a man possessed throwing himself into tackles and the crowd took to their feet in mass appreciation. The song bellowed around the stadium “Toma ejemplo!” (follow his example) which was directed towards the rest of the team. If only we could have 11 Ninos in the side.

Goalkeeper Sergio and Pablo Sicilia can also join the club of “I can hold my head high if we do go down” in June as they have given everything as well to the cause.

With noise levels high in the Heliodoro, Tenerife enjoyed their best spell of the match.

Chances were created and they were unlucky not to equalise.

A Nino header scraped the post and he also had a goal disallowed for offside. But the wave of attacks petered out and Tenerife were reduced to nine on the field when Pablo Sicilia was dismissed for a stray elbow. The final whistle blew and fans were too numb to even protest. The realisation that we could well go down has hit home.
