“We are in the middle of an internal investigation.”

A

deje mayor, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, brought forward a press conference to deal with rumours relating to substantial fraud in the public company engaged by the council to deal with proper ty related capital gains tax (plusvalia).

The as-yet unnamed female employee of the company, and not a civil servant as the mayor was at pains to point out, has resigned, “voluntarily”, and an internal investigation is currently underway. Some press reports indicate that the amount that has gone missing may be between €300,000 and €400,000, though the council chief appeared to pour

cold water on suggestions that the missing tally would be that high.

According to the mayor the company was alerted to the possibility of irregularities after a foreign resident noticed something was not quite right in her statements.

The information was passed on and received on March 21st, shor tly after which the internal investi-

gation got underway. As yet there are no decisions taken about any possible legal action to be taken. “We are waiting for those in charge of the investigation to give us more information…once we have that information we will take action,” Rodríguez Fraga told the press. “I don’t know yet if we are talking about huge embezzlement…but we are investigating, we will get to the bottom of this with all the consequences that entails”.

He asked for prudence and the time needed to get to the bottom of the matter, promising that the investigation would be “fully transparent”. He added, they would not and could not take action “based on rumours”, although both the Par tido Popular and Coalicion Canarias

representatives in the council have called for the matter to be placed with the courts immediately.

The indications are that this has been going on for a number of years, “six or seven”, and that it was “a system of persistent inter ference in the company’s IT system that was very elaborate” given that it went undetected for so long, and passed through auditors and annual end of year inspections.

There is, as yet, no evidence to suspect any other person in the company was involved.

The mayor apologised to the people of the borough, and in bullish mood said “my attitude and my behaviour will be the defence of all the citizens of Adeje, let no one doubt that”.

Arona council is also in the news, with reports that the local courts have ruled that they owe almost €1.5 million for occupying offices in the Zentral Center but failing to meet the ‘change in use’ requirements agreed with the owners, something the council say they were not able to do as it would have been against the norms of the PIOT – the island’s of ficial ordinance plan.

Can Amaral give the fans something to cheer about?

D

avid Amaral has just been appointed as the new trainer of CD Tenerife and follows Arconada, Merino, Mandía and most recently Tapía in the job.

He takes over for the last ten games of the season and with a guarantee that he will stay on even if Tenerife are relegated.

It will be hoped that the new man can stop the run of bad results that recently saw some fans vent their fury on the team bus carrying the players returning from the away game in Tarragona. Astonished players on board were on the receiving end of a string of insults from the furious crowd, who fled the scene when police arrived.

The appointment of Amaral has been given a mixed reception, with many happy to see a local manager given the opportunity to lead the fight against the drop but others querying Amaral’s track record given his two past stints as manager here, both of which ended in his departure due to poor results.

Local elections, 22 May 2011

Your vote, your voice!

All EU citizens registered on the padrón (official council register) as a resident in Spain can vote, and you have until and including Monday 11th April to check with your local council whether you are on the list of registered voters.

Local councils make quite a dif ference to your day

to day life here in Spain, and it only takes a few votes to change the balance, as results four years ago in parts of the Canary Islands proved. The elections are your opportunity to have your say in who makes the decisions about public services in your area, and an opportunity for non-Spanish residents to take part in the democratic process.

A

t the opening of the three day conference on ‘Doing business with Africa’, being held for the first time in Tenerife, Stephen Hayes, the CEO of the Corporate Council on Africa, the conference organisers, called on private investors to lead the way in forging new relationships with African countries.

He said that today’s globalised economy means that developing commercial partnerships across national boundaries was a logical step. He also called on people to forget the “old stereotypes of Africa, they are no longer relevant”.

In excellent English Tenerife Cabildo President Ricardo Melchior said he was delighted that Tenerife had been chosen to host the conference. “Tenerife has always been a bridge between three continents. 500 years ago the port of Tenerife was a key stopping place for boats from America, Africa and Europe….

“Tenerife is located just a jump away from the African coast. By taking advantage of the island’s position as a platform for Africa, you save time and money”, he added, addressing the representatives of over 200 key American business players attending the event.

During a snatched conversation with Island Connections, Hayes, the Washington based leading authority on US-Africa trade expanded on the need for old images and notions of the African continent to change. He repeated the need to get rid of African stereotypes – viewing the continent as a “development basket-case, that Africa is the home of poverty, a place where wars are going on all the time. We’re missing a huge part of the picture”. China and Europe have already started to view things differently, he says though the former much more than the latter. China has made huge investments already

Doing business with Africa

Seeing Africa with open eyes

By Clio O’Flynn

Delegates from many African nations and top USA companies attended the conference in the Bahía del Duque hotel

into African countries and is in the process of establishing infrastructures that will benefit both local and the Chinese economy, providing jobs and investment.

He referred to immigration, and again the distorted image many North Americans have of Africans who go the USA to live and work. “The reality is that most of the Africans arriving to work in the United States are very well educated, which is a boon”; though it may not be viewed as such by everyone. However, he continued, “every wave of immigration to the US has attracted the same kind of reaction – Irish, Italian, German. Each fought for their place in US society, and most immigrants have helped develop American society.”

Hayes told the conference,

“the globalised economy means having par tners across the continents is a logical step…we need each other, more than ever…We cannot be left behind.” He told Island Connections that the private sector is not receiving the kind of leadership that it needs, the political leaders are way behind in this regard. This, he added, included Barack Obama, who has yet “to provide leadership on Africa”, though Hayes mused that his stance was “sort of understandable” if the US president wanted to avoid being negatively labelled an ‘African president’.

A forthright and down to earth man, Hayes cuts to the chase. “We need to get beyond aid”, he stressed. “Aid may be useful, but what is more useful

is the development of a broad middle class in the private sector in African countries”. Other countries and private sectors need to be shown that there is profit to be made in these partnerships, this isn’t about being ‘charitable’. “We are starting to see some changes - in the past year three of the largest consumer organisations in the USA, in the world, have joined the Council (Corporate Council on Africa) – Walmart, Procter & Gamble and ColgatePalmolive”.

We discussed the negative images of Africa that tend to dominate western news programmes. “The (conflict) stories are not untrue, but you could put the USA into Africa five times” – in other words people don’t realise how huge Africa is, “and they need to start seeing Africa as 54 different nations” and realise the various investment opportunities on offer throughout Africa, and with a lot of stability and security too. But getting “Americans to see Africa accurately, this is one of our biggest challenges” – a sentiment which could be echoed throughout many of the Western European countries too.

Runway ridicule

‘People’s airport’ inaugurated

Politicians here have come under fire for rushing to inaugurate new buildings and projects ahead of the ban on such activities in the run up to the regional and local elections on 22 May. However, none of the controversial ceremonies designed to keep the politicians’ faces in the media and in voters’ minds can match the opening of a regional airport on Spain’s east coast, which the local government went ahead with even though not a single aircraft will use it for some time due to the lack of authorisation from the national aviation authority.

Undeterred, Carlos Fabra, the head of the provincial government in Castellón, organised the formal opening before the ban took effect and justified the ceremony on the grounds that “once the planes start flying here people will not be able to stroll along the runway”.

Fabra urged locals to include the 2.8 km runway on their list of places to visit for a walk in the coming weeks.

Critics say the €150 million airport, which took 14 years to complete, is unnecessary given the excellent air connections on the Mediterranean coast.

BritishEmbassy Met Office

AEAT

Tax back We’re coming up to that time of the year again when residents are faced with making their Spanish tax returns.

There’s a big aid available called the Borrador, it’s a draft tax return prepared by the tax office on your behalf, but beware it is only intended as a guide for most people.

Confirming the borrador as correct is the equivalent of making your tax return and if it subsequently turns out you have undeclared income for example you could still be liable to fines. For many people with simple tax returns, employed with a mortgage for example, confirming the borrador is a quicker way of getting any overpaid tax reimbursed.

This year you can pre-empt the arrival of your written

borrador by asking for the information on internet at the AEAT website or by calling 901 12 12 24. If you have already asked for the borrador to be sent to you, you will be given a reference number to access the information online, but you will need to give them the following information: your NIF/NIE number, the amount in box 698 in the tax return for 2009 and your mobile telephone number. You will be sent an SMS with the reference number which will allow you to consult, change and confirm your draft, download the fiscal information to the PADRE tax return wizard programme and present your declaration online. For the first time this year, the tax office also has a Taxpayer’s calendar in English which gives full information on your fiscal obligations throughout the year. Your tax return can be filed between May 3rd and June 30th.

Time zone proposal

Clock changes

The days of the Canaries being one hour behind the rest of Spain could come to an end if a proposal by a Catalan political party is accepted.

The CiU party has called for Spain to switch to Greenwich Mean Time, to put the country on the same time as Britain and Portugal. Spain used to be on GMT until Franco changed things in 1940. According to CiU leader Josep Durán, “there is little point in Spain having the same time as Germany, where the sun rises and sets much differently to here”. Durán is also calling for working hours to be changed, with shorter lunch breaks to allow people which businesses to finish at around 6pm. CiU is not the first party to propose a clock change. Galician nationalists have long called for their region to be put on a par with its southern neighbours, Portugal.

Which of these is a proper passport photo?

Your passport photo

D

espite all the information needed to fill out a passport application, your photo is one of the most important elements and people often get it wrong.

It should be easy. You go into a photo booth, put your money in, smile and there you go. But unlike getting your holiday snaps taken, producing an acceptable passport photo is not quite so straightforward.

“We produce around 32,000 passports a year for customers in Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Cuba, North Africa, Greece and Cyprus,” says Andrew Hamilton, Head of the Regional Passport Processing Centre in Madrid. “But no matter where the applications come from, we invariably find that the biggest cause for delay is that the picture doesn’t meet the required standard.”

So if you don’t want your passport application delayed because of your mug-shot, follow our tips below to make sure your photo is correct.

• Size matters – We need to see more ‘head’ and less ‘shoulders’ in the photo. There should be at least 29mm from the top to the bottom of the head, but no more than 34mm.

• No smiling – Although it’s tempting to smile, it’s better if

you keep a neutral expression.

Teeth should not be visible.

• Remove glasses – If at all possible, don’t wear glasses, they can give off a glare which means they can’t see the detail of the photo.

• Make sure the face is clearly visible – don’t wear hats, and try not to let your hair cover your face.

• Make sure you’re straight on. – You need to look straight at the camera. Although we all may have a ‘good’ side, for the passport photo you need to be straight-on.

• The plainer the bette r – Photos should be against a plain, light or off-white background.

• Don’t use your home camera – The photos have to be of a particular resolution, printed on specific photo-quality paper.

It might look OK to you, but on our systems it can often come out grainy and faded.

For children, the rules aren’t so stringent. Children under one year of age need to be a good likeness, showing as much of the child’s face as possible. For children between one and six, we can waive the need for a neutral expression, and the eyes don’t need to be looking straight at the camera.

But for adults, we need it to be right first time.

And for those who want

Wettest March since 1996

Last month was the wettest March in the Canaries for 15 years, according to Met Office figures.

A

lthough temperatures were above the norm on several days, the two cold fronts at the beginning of March and then ten days later brought significant amounts of water in the form of rain and, in many high parts, snow and sleet.

S

everal towns in Gran Canaria and Tenerife recorded their lowest temperatures for decades at the height of the bad weather.

Census

Foreign population falls

The latest census published by the National Statistics Institute reveals that the number of foreign residents in the Canaries has fallen for the first time in a decade, albeit slightly. to know, the correct photo is number three.

For more detailed information on passport photos, visit the DirectGov website (http://www.direct.gov.uk/ en/TravelAndTransport/Passports/Applicationinformation/ DG_174152) For more information on passpor t applications visit the passports section of the UKinSpain website (http:// ukinspain.fco.gov.uk/en/ help-for-british-nationals/ passports)

T

he census, based on figures supplied by local councils, puts the total population of the Canaries at just over 2.1 million, a small increase compared to the figure at the beginning of 2010. The number of foreigners officially resident here now stands at slightly above 306,000 (14.4 per cent of the total), 0.3 per cent down on January 2010. Experts say the drop has been caused by the departure of non-Spaniards due to the economic downturn

Royal seal of approval

Norwegian royals in Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura’s image among Scandinavians is set to receive a major boost after Norway’s most famous couple chose the island for a short break recently.

The country’s heir to the throne, Prince Haakon, and his wife Mette-Marit spent three days in the Corralejo area at the beginning of the month, accompanied by a small entourage of protection officers and personal assistants. Plans

for the private royal visit were kept secret until a few days before the trip but when the news was eventually released it triggered considerable interest from the Norwegian media. Local tourism chiefs say they expect coverage of the visit to produce positive results in the coming months in the shape of increased interest in the island from potential holidaymakers from Norway.

La Palma

Silk Museum opens

The new silk museum which opened in La Palma at the end of last month has been described as unique in Europe by the local authorities.

The museum, housed in an old Canarian mansion house in El Paso, represents the culmination of many years’ efforts by practitioners of the little-known cottage industry on the island. Its first visitor was 92-year-old Nieves Hernández, a local hand spinner, who was given pride of place at the inauguration.

The museum traces the history of the silk industry both locally and internationally, particularly in China, while also exhibiting an extensive collection of devices (drums, looms etc) used on La Palma, whose silk production tradition stretches back to the 16th century. The new museum adds to the popular silk-making workshop which has proven a popular visitor draw for several years in the town.

February

Tourism increase

During February, 413,304 tourists visited Tenerife, an increase of 11.8 per cent on the same month of 2010, and the results were as good for hotels as for other forms of accommodation.

C

abildo councillor for tourism, José Manuel Bermúdez commented that, “this spectacular growth in February was due, to a large extent, to the effects of the conflicts in Nor th Africa, which have resulted in 140,625 more people flying to and from the island” but stated that under normal circumstances, there would still have been an increase, albeit more moderate. He added, “we must continue to work to attract new visitors to the island”.

B

oth the north and the south of Tenerife benefitted from the positive results: 330,956 tourists stayed in the south, 15.1 per cent more than a year ago, while 65,454

stayed in the north, representing an increase of 6.3 per cent. The increases for the first two months of 2011 came from British (1.3 per cent), German (6.9 per cent) and Nordic (23.1 per cent) tourists, while Spanish tourism fell by 11.6 per cent.

Increase in visitors

The Tenerife Wedding t r a d e f a i r, Fe b o d a , registered a 69 per cent increase in visitors this year.

A

ccording to the figures released by the Tenerife Cabildo, the event, held in the Recinto Ferial in Santa Cruz, with 36 companies hosting, brought together over 15,000 people in the trade. There were 8,000 registered visitors to the event, organised by the Cabildo’s department of economic development, commerce and employment.

Councillor for the department Efraín Medina said the

high success rate was due to the quality and high level of client participation in the event, as well as the public’s interest in the Tenerife Moda collections and designers invited to participate in the fashion shows.

W

elcome too was the participation of internationally renowned hairdresser Patrick Cameron and the closing show organised by the Provincial association of hairdressers which saw over 200 professionals exhibit very original creations, displaying influences from down the centuries.

F

ashion for all ages was also on display with some of the island’s top names taking part, including Oh Soleil, Bibabu, Pi 3,14 and Morena Mia to name just a few.

Cabildo president Ricardo Melchior and local mayor Hermógenes Pérez were at the site of the new municipal pool in Tacoronte recently to view the work which is nearing completion.

C

onstruction of the pool is costing €3.7 million, 75 per cent of which is being met by the Cabildo and the rest by the local council. According to Melchior the pool, when complete, “won’t simply serve as somewhere for sports but also will have a social side to it, promoting leisure, recreation and rehabilitation”. The installation comes under the insular pools’ network.

“When we started to promote this network there were two installations of this kind in Tenerife, now there are 17”, the president said.

T

he indoor centre has two pools, one 25 x 21 metres and the other 12 x 6 metres and is next door to the Piedra Torres sports centre.

La Gomera DNI

Giovanni AfĂş

Patience needed

Consul in carnaval scandal

By Barbara Belt

I

slanders in La Gomera wishing to renew out of date identity cards are forced to wait for more than three months, according to CoaliciĂłn CanarĂ­a spokesman Manuel Arteaga. “People going now to San SebastiĂĄn to renew I.D. cards will have to wait until July at the earliest. This situation has to be attended to! We’ve been suffering these delays for far too longâ€?.

Indeed we have, given that this sorry state of affairs has existed for many years. In these heady, pre-election days, our politicians are fired with wonderful indignation, enthusiasm for change and idealism that mysteriously disappear once elections are over and they are safely installed for the next four year sinecure of posturing and pocket lining.

The problem is a real one, however. Being without a Documento Nacional de

Identidad, or DNI as it is usually known, is more than an inconvenience. By law, all Spanish nationals must carry their ID with them and can be fined for failing to comply.

It is, for example, impossible for anyone to check into a hotel, board a plane, make a bank or post office transaction, or deal with any local, regional, or central government office without showing valid ID, even here in tiny La Gomera where we all know each other far too well. The U.K. practice of showing a public utilities letter as valid ID is unheard of in Spain and totally unacceptable.

The situation is made more difficult for Spanish nationals living in so-called peripheral areas like the Canary Islands.

Resident discounts available to offset the expense involved in travelling within them, or to mainland Spain, depend on showing valid ID and proving residence.

Those of us whose foreigners’ residence permits have expired, lamentably never to be renewed under new Euro-legislation, know what a dreadful paper chase is involved in the simple task of buying a ferry or plane ticket for the correct price. Locals experience exactly the same problems with out of date cards.

Despite the importance of always having valid ID, the island’s twenty-three thousand residents have to make do with a visiting, once a week DNI-issuing office from Tenerife.

Adding insult to injury are this weekly office’s opening hours. Once safely installed, staff only work there from ten-thirty until two o’clock, presumably to conserve vital energies for the journey to and from the island, making phone calls to family and cortado drinking. This reduced working day makes it impossible to

Life without your identity card in Spain is practically impossible

process the required number of ID card applications. Three and a half hours a week is obviously insufficient.

The traditional remedy for such government office maladies has been adopted.

Making a simple procedure more complicated nicely prolongs any process, and it must be remembered that every cloud has its silver lining.

The three month wait and two appointments necessary to renew ID cards in La Gomera, involving two journeys to and from the capital, two lost days of work and a lot of waiting do, after all, provide islanders with a golden opportunity to exercise the exquisite patience they need to deal with bureaucracy here.

Panama’s consul in the Canaries is at the centre of a row in the Central American country following the publication of photos of his ‘Carnaval’ celebrations in Las Palmas.

Giovanni Afú’s decision to dress up as a woman for the festivities has not gone down well with his compatriots, including foreign minister Juan Carlos

Varela, who said it would have been preferable if his diplomatic representative had “turned out as a fireman or policeman, but not a womanâ€?. Varela has suggested that AfĂş “takes a holiday in Panamaâ€? during next year’s Las Palmas Carnaval in order to avoid further scandal. Publication of the photographs in the national media led to immediate calls for him to be replaced, with former foreign minister Samuel Navarro describing Afú’s posing in a pink lace dress and bright red lipstick as a “national disgraceâ€?.

Government bodies

A range of governmentfunded bodies are to be closed down as part of the ongoing cost-cutting drive by the regional authorities.

The target for much criticism down the years, bodies such as the Foundation for the Promotion of Education and the Canary Congress Bureaus in Gran Canaria and south Tenerife, whose functions and contributions have never fully been justified, have been given the formal

chop. Six loss-making quasigovernmental departments were identified for closure at the end of March and a further twenty or so have been lined up for similar action in the coming months.

The closures, which should generate savings in the region of â‚Ź40 million in the next couple of years, are being undertaken in tandem with the merging of a number of other public agencies and foundations under one roof, again to save on running costs. Although welcoming the initiative, opposition parties say the elimination of such bodies shows clearly that “they were never needed in the first placeâ€?.

27th march cosy corner held charity event

O

n Sunday 27th March you could have been forgiven for thinking you’d gone to the wrong place when the Cosy Corner in Costa del Silencio held a charity event in aid of the worthy cause ‘Help for Heroes’.

Some of Tenerife’s top artists gave up their precious time free to help the party along. Compere Neil Breakwell held the show together marvellously as he introduced acts that included The Wild Boys, Rosemary, Aidey, Emma Jensen, The Three Monkeys and Ollie. Not to be outdone some local residents also jumped up to perform. Sonic was one of the first up and was followed in quick succession by Shantell, Shammy and Patrick, to name but a few.

A good day was had by all, especially those who won some spectacular prizes in the raffle and we can only look forward to the next event.

Lesley and Laura from the Cosy Corner would like to thank all the acts for donating their time and, of course, all their clients who turned up on the day to offer their support for the brave wounded.

A collection of unpublished letters and speeches by the last prime minister of the Spanish Republic before Franco came to power has been unveiled.

The correspondence of Juan Negrín, who hailed from Las Palmas and headed the government between 1937 and 1939, includes a unique letter to US President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939, begging him to intervene in the Spanish Civil War to prevent Franco’s fascist troops, aided by Hitler, from completely taking over the country.

In a poignant warning to the American president, Negrín urged him to step in “before the course of the war in Spain determines the future of Europe”, adding that “every minute you delay will bring rivers of blood and pain” to the people of Spain. The personal letter is among 49 documents published by Asturian historian Enrique Moradiellos in a book launched at the end of March in Las Palmas.

ess people were caught speeding than previously following the decrease of the top speed limit to 110kph.

Traffic bosses may have been rubbing their hands at the prospect of increased income, but it was not to be as fines dropped a massive 62 per cent during the first week of the change. It would seem that the reduction in the speed limit and the massive publicity it received made drivers more aware of the top limit and more respectful of the restrictions.

Fixed radars registered 2,082 fines as opposed to an average of 5,507 from previous weeks.

The Government spoke cautiously as the latest figures were only registered over a short period of time, but take the results as a positive indication, especially given the comments of automobile associations and the opposition when they introduced what is supposed to be a temporary measure in the face of rising petrol prices and the crisis in Libya.

ith 82 per cent hotel occupancy, the Canary Islands were the top holiday choice in Spain in February.

The latest figures show that the islands were streets ahead of nearest rival Madrid at 59.7 per cent occupancy and the Balearics with 45.3 per cent. Gran Canaria was the most popular with over a million overnight stays and occupation levels at 88 per cent.

Boroughs with the highest occupancy were San Bartolomé de Tirajana and Mogán in Gran Canaria and Arona in Tenerife according to information from the National Institute of Statistics.

Last month’s massive earthquake which devastated parts of Japan and triggered a giant tsunami and nuclear crisis was felt by measuring equipment located almost 12,500 km away in Gran Canaria.

Seismologists at the Painted Cave archaeological site in Gáldar on the island say their equipment recorded the ‘quake, which measured 8.9 on the Richter scale. The equipment was installed by the local authorities and Spain’s Science Research Council to help detect movements, particularly the impact of heavy lorries in the area, that might endanger the structure of the unique cave, whose walls contain centuries-old drawings by the native inhabitants of Gran Canaria. However, the devices are so sensitive that they picked up echoes of the worst earthquake in Japan’s recent history.

Troops head to Afghanistan

Another contingent of Canarian troops is setting off for Afghanistan for a tour of duty.

840 soldiers from the 16th Light Infantry Brigade based here are due to fly out in several groups during the coming days to join the Spanish Afghanistan Force in the province of Badghis for a peace-keeping mission.

The troops, the biggest contingent to be deployed from the Canaries to date, were given a formal send-off from their base at Hoya Fria in Tenerife by Canarian president Paulino Rivero at the end of March. Rivero was joined by senior army officers and the families of the soldiers for the ceremony, during which tribute was paid to José Tomás Fariña, the soldier killed in a training accident in Fuerteventura in February as his unit was preparing for Afghanistan. The peace-keeping tour is expected to last up to five months.

iguel Ángel Santos, who has earned a very positive reputation as Adeje’s tourism councillor in recent years, learned that he had been left off the ticket drawn up by José Miguel RodríguezFraga, who is hoping to be re-elected as mayor on 22

May. The surprise exclusion has been criticised in many quarters but Santos says he will have no problems adjusting to life away from local politics. “I may go back to the private sector but in any case I have learned a lot from my years at the mayor’s side and am available to help him in any way I can” he said, hours after the meeting that approved the new PSOE party ticket, which features local paediatrician Amada Trujillo as Rodríguez-Fraga’s No. 2. The departure of Santos has already led to calls in some media sectors for him to be given a senior role in the Canarian Department of Tourism.

ustomer complaints at the non-delivery of the valuable phones, several of them latest-generation models, prompted an internal investigation at the Santa Cruz courier, which began to suspect that a male employee was helping himself to the packages and selling the phones on Internet. The 29-year-old was arrested at his home after fleeing his workplace when management called him in for questioning. Police say the value of the stolen mobiles was in the region of €9,000.

Ra II reconstruction Pirámides de Güímar

The Mercedes SLKs were being test driven around Tenerife

A

lmost 300 journalists from all over the world were invited to put the eagerly-anticipated new model through its paces on the roads of Tenerife, including the traditional photo opportunity on Mt Teide, where stopoffs were arranged every day at the Observatory to allow the journalists to see the telescopes in action.

Inside job

Mobile phone thief

Mobile phones sent by a leading telecoms operator in Spain to new clients in Tenerife were systematically stolen by an employee of the courier company used for the deliveries.

The reputation of a pair of Russian motoring correspondents for taking vehicles to the brink proved accurate during recent testing of the new Mercedes SLK in Tenerife a couple of weeks ago.

ccording to insiders, the Russians were allocated their car on the last day of the tests, with good reason, it seems. The organisers of the event received a call to say they pair had crashed the SLK near Arafo, before they even got near Teide, and a tow-truck was needed to get them out of trouble.

A source told Island Connections the €50,000 vehicle suffered “major damage” in the crash.

Bulrush reeds from the lake are used in the boat’s construction

The latest reconstruction project being sponsored by the Parque Etnográfico Pirámides de Güímar is the building of a new life-size replica of the Ra II. Taking control of the construction is Braulio Corani, a native Aymara from Lake Titicaca, who is a specialist in the handcrafting needed for this type of reed boats which are still used today in his native region for crossing the Titicaca lake.

The construction will take place in La Paz, Bolivia and once complete the boat will be brought to Tenerife to be shown in the Pirámides de Güímar park. The previous version of the Ra II at the park was destroyed by storm Xynthia which struck the island last year.

The original Ra II was made from bulrush reeds, which grow in the huge South American lake, and the design was copied from the old Egyptian papyrus crafts. The creation was conceived and directed by the Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl, the Pirámides de Güímar founder, to carry out one of the most famous trans-oceanic expeditions. His trip was to prove his theory that ancient civilisations were capable of sea crossings, and used both building and navigational techniques of ancient times. Heyerdahl, in proving his theory, left Safi in Morocco in the Ra II and, crossing the Atlantic ocean, arrived in Barbados 57 days later in 1970.

RIP

Padre Antonio loved by all dies

A

ntonio María Hernández Her nández, known simply as Padre Antonio, the man behind the Santa Rita elderly care centres Puerto de la Cruz and much more, has died.

Padre Antonio had been ill prior to his death. It is still uncertain what arrangements,

if any, have been made over the last few weeks of his final illness as to who will head up the foundation set up to run the Santa Rita complexes and build the new Alzheimer’s home which is already under way and has important financial commitments. The Cabildo’s councillor for social welfare, Cristina Válido, said that as far

as she was aware there was full private and public commitment to guaranteeing that his good work and the projects underway would continue. Cabildo president Ricardo Melchior said, “the body of work carried out by Padro Antonio was huge.

He was a person who displayed levels of solidarity, of generosity, of humanity that knew no boundaries of any kind…

“Everybody loved him”, said Melchior, “but we were also a bit in awe of him, because there was no doubt that it was virtually impossible to say no to Padre Antonio…he worked morning, noon and night to achieve his goals. He did nothing for himself, he did it all for other people. We (the people of Tenerife and Canarian society in general) owe him a huge debt of gratitude”. Padre Antonio was the 2010 recipient of the Tenerife Premio Valores Humanos (Human Values prize) awarded annually by the Cabildo.

Streamlining resources

Equality network Councillors Carmen Rosa González Cabrera, Clara María Pérez Pérez, Maria Elena Fumero García, Vanesa González Tejera, Ana Maria Moriano Comesaña, Juana Donate Marrero, Beatriz González Navarro y Maria del Carmen Delgado Cáceres at the launch of the programme

W

ith the kind of direct efficiency the programme is designed to promote Adeje councillor for equality Carmen Rosa González Cabrera recently launched a new inter-borough network designed to deal more ef fectively with issues of inequality in South Tenerife.

Very simply the initiative is to bring together all the political and technical resources currently working in the field of employment (and beyond) equality to guarantee a more efficient and relevant service to women in South Tenerife. Councils signed up are Adeje, Arona, Arico, Granadilla, Fasnia, Guía de Isora, San Miguel de Abona, Santiago del Teide and Vilaflor, and in what is hoped is a reflection of the future lack of duplication of resources, none of the councillors (all female) also at the

top table, felt the need to repeat what had been clearly explained by Carmen Rosa, and let the programme speak for itself.

The inter-council network will work to coordinate and optimise resources in promoting and developing equal opportunities for women in South Tenerife. It will also develop training courses for those in the employment and political field as well as promoting increased awareness of the importance of equal opportunities. Those behind the initiative also say they can now work together as a unit in applying for funding to develop joint activities and represent the nine boroughs when dealing with insular or national bodies, public and private, in this and other regards.

There will be a technical support secretariat that will rotate alphabetically among the nine boroughs on a four monthly basis, starting with Adeje.

Los Cristianos

New rubbish collection system ‘Quita y pon’ is the name of the new rubbish collection system which Arona council intends to implant in Los Cristianos with effect from the beginning of April.

From the start date (which has not yet been decided), rubbish can only be placed in bins between certain hours of the night, also to be determined. Apparently the council has been trying to encourage a similar scheme for some time, but it has not worked. The name ‘Quita y pon’, however, means that the rubbish collection company will, during the early hours of the morning, not empty the containers, but remove them altogether. On the following night, the containers will be returned to their positions and so the cycle will continue.

Or so the council hopes. Its intention is to do away with the bad impression given in most streets in this popular tourist area, of containers overflowing with rubbish at

all hours of the day, and bags of rubbish dumped on the streets.

The starting date and hours for depositing rubbish are to be decided at a meeting between the council, the rubbish collection company and representatives of the businesses in the main shopping area. Arona mayor José Alberto González Reverón emphasised that business owners and residents alike need to be made aware of this new system because, “if they fail to respect the hours set for putting their rubbish out, a worse problem will be created”. He continued, “this will greatly improve the image of Los Cristianos because the rubbish containers will disappear during the day, something which the business owners have been demanding for a long time”. Apparently the Local Police force will be responsible for enforcement of the rules.

But, the police officers cannot be everywhere at once, all day, in order to enforce these rules.

Surely they have better things to do with their time. What of tourists and other visitors to the area who know nothing of the new system? Where will they dump their rubbish when they go out during the day only to find that all the bins have disappeared? That remains to be seen.

Man dies

fire tragedy

An elderly man from Arico has died after being caught up in a fire when he started to burn rubbish at his home. The 71-year-old was found dead by police after relatives reported he had not been seen or heard from for several days at his house in a remote part of the town. Neighbours say they heard an explosion and saw smoke pouring from the back of the house at the weekend.

Police said last night that the badly charred body had been sent for autopsy but no foul play was suspected.

T

The new sightseeing bus is on route throughout the city

he new city sightseeing bus launched in Santa Cruz at the end of March has got off to a good start despite a few embarrassing teething problems, which left council officials red faced.

The maiden run with passengers was delayed by almost an hour after it was discovered that

a number of street lights on the Plaza de España, the departure point for the bus, prevented the open-topped double-decker from manoeuvring properly.

To add to the problems, several passengers on the upper deck had narrow brushes with tree branches along the route, particularly on the Rambla de Pulido, and had to duck to avoid

injury. To make matters worse, the route had to be altered slightly when it was realised that cars parked along Avenida La Salle meant the bus could not turn onto the Galcerán bridge and had to take another street instead.

Even the content of the multilingual audio guide used by passengers has come in for criticism, particularly the description of the Cabildo building as ‘New York style’ and the tower blocks at Cabo Llanos as the tallest skyscrapers in Spain.

Playing down the inaugural hiccups, which received frontpage billing in local papers, the council said “corrective action” had been ordered immediately to iron out the problems along the route and it was confident the sightseeing bus would be a massive success, especially among cruise tourists.

Italians snared

Santaigo del Teide

Two Italians face drug trafficking charges in Tenerife after being caught receiving over half a kilo of cocaine sent to them by post.

The couple, in their early 40s, were arrested after a police operation which was set in motion in Madrid following the detection of a package with traces of cocaine at Barajas Airpor t ’s m a i l s o r t i n g o ff i c e .

Authorisation was sought from a Madrid court to allow the package to continue its journey to Adeje, where police placed a local post office under surveillance to catch the recipient. An Italian man who lives locally picked up the package using a fake identity document and was intercepted immediately. Shortly afterwards his wife was detained at the couple’s home in Callao Salvaje, where a further quantity of cocaine and precision weighing equipment were seized.

Santiago del Teide local police are working on a local community initiative targeted at young people and students in the borough.

‘Internet and social network security’is aimed at secondary school students and outlines how the internet works, what is a social network and the adjacent plusses and minuses, the dangers and lack of security that can be exploited.

They will also outline to the youngsters what constitutes ‘grooming’ (strategies used by adults to win the confidence of under age internet users) and ‘cyberbullying’ (when a young person is bullied, harassed and threatened via the internet, mobile phones, gaming consoles, etc).

The aim is to allow young internet users to have safe internet experiences and reduce as far as possible the dangers of abuse of the system.

While the building has been complete for a while now, the interior of the new installation had only been seen by a chosen few. As residents, swallows, Canarians and many other nationalities amongst them, waited for the arrival of the dignitaries, there was an air of celebration around, and

even the cynics who said it was all only happening because there were local elections around the corner were delighted that the church would open at last.

When Adeje mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga and the bishop of Tenerife His Excellency Bernardo Álvarez arrived they spent more than a few minutes chatting to those outside in the plaza at the front of the new church, and there were obviously a number of different

The all important key was handed over to Bishop Bernardo, the door was opened and the curious as well as the devout entered the new church. The two hour ceremony, with a full concelebrated mass and blessing of all the church’s installations, was followed by tapas and drinks outside by the village cultural centre, and the kids ran around, parents and priests chatted, pictures were posed for, and all in all everyone seemed more than happy that the church was open at last.

mantaining purchasing power

Investing for income

By David Franks, Chief Executive, Blevins Franks

I

nvesting to generate income in a Western world dominated by near-zero interest rates has become a key challenge.

In the past it was possible to draw sufficient income from a number of lower risk assets such as traditional bank deposits or government debt, so it was relatively straightfor ward to achieve a balance of producing income through fixed income securities in cash whilst capturing long-term capital growth and protection against inflation through equities, property and other assets classes.

These days nominal yields from lower-risks assets traditionally held for income have fallen substantially. Investors had been compelled to assess how, and if, they can maintain previously higher income.

Inflation is now materially above interest rates in many parts of the Western world.

Therefore the opportunity cost of retaining significant sums on deposit over the medium-term becomes painfully apparent

Investing to generate income is a major challenge

as rising prices erode the real purchasing power of assets over time.

Choices 1). Reduce income.

2). Seek alternative sources of income to sustain the higher pay-out levels but at higher risk levels.

many proper ty funds have had to become illiquid with the Fund Managers freezing redemptions.

3). Embrace a total return investment philosophy by withdrawing a set sum regardless of income levels to avoid skewing the portfolio in favour of income regardless of capital preser vation.

Equities Traditionally equities have not been the first consideration when seeking income, but today equity markets generally are focused more on sustainable dividends proceeds, strong balanced sheets and high levels of free cash flow.

Inevitably a combination of these, taking account of taxes, income, time horizon, capital preservation and risk appetite is usually the preferred outcome.

The overriding consideration should be to balance the longerterm risk tolerance rather than trying to pick up on shorterterm market trends, which can often prove illusory.

Complex structures

Corporate Bonds When interest rates collapsed in 2008, corporate bonds began to show a much higher risk premium.

However, the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the credit

crunch led to panic selling later that year, and the capital value of corporate bonds declined.

This subsided when governments bailed out failing banks.

Throughout this helter-skelter

the income generated from corporate bonds held up.

Property

The property bubble burst when credit dried up, and

The credit crunch exposed the risks behind the proliferation of complex illiquid and leveraged investments with opaque credit risk. Simpler strategies were overlooked and investors did not sufficiently focus on the underlying risk of the structure.

Safe havens Quantitative easing led to concerns about the longterm purchasing power of

main currencies. This has been one of the main reasons for increasing investment in physical gold as an insurance policy against economic uncertainty.

Gold delivers no income yield, and indeed creates the opposite: holding costs.

Another safe haven in financial uncertainty has traditionally been index -linked sovereign debt, providing protection from future inflation. However, break-even rates against government debt are unattractive to investors. In other words, there is no positive return over inflation.

Conclusion Seeking income is much more difficult than ever, but if a total return approach is taken, and sensible diversification sought, it should be achievable. As ever, the outcome can never be guaranteed.

Seek personal advice from an experienced wealth manager like Blevins Franks.

Mortgages

Cheaper loans A second legal judge-

ment has declared the socalled mortgage ‘floors’ illegal.

The ‘floors’ come into operation when the interest rate goes below a certain rate and means that the client does not get the full benefit of any reductions.

The court case was brought by the bank users’ association, Ausbanc and this in this instance was against Caja España and Caja Duero. This case follows

electricity until the next revision which is due July 1st.

Opposite factors are tugging at the rate. On the one hand spiralling fuel prices, but on the other the rate at which the latest auction of services was set which registered a drop of 9.43 per cent. Consumers have been paying an increased level of 9.8 per cent since the on from one in September 2010 brought against BBVA, Caixa Galicia and Cajamar.

The judges declared that the minimum interest rate of 12 per cent was far from reality and much higher than the three per cent permitted. Caja España and Caja Duero have appealed, but there is a further case pending in the courts at Madrid against 45 different entities. The banks’ association has requested the Government to act to protect their (and they say the clients’) interests.

Energy

Old boilers

Joking apart, if you have an old electric boiler at home, you may be able to get a grant to trade it in for a newer model.

Depending on the region where you live, grants range between €100 and €600.

The idea is to improve the safety of the installation, increase its efficiency and reduce contamination.

The grant is available in almost all of the regions of Spain and can be given to individuals or community groups – so if you live in apartments get your system checked.

You need to get in touch with one of the official installers who are part of

beginning of the year. Most of us have a system where one bill is estimated and the next is a ‘real’ reading. If your ‘real’ reading took place in January, it may be that the December figure was underestimated, but you will have paid for the electricity at the January, increased, level. If this is your case you have a case for a claim against the electricity company which can be registered at your local OMIC office – ask at the town hall where the closest office to you is. the Plan Renove de Calderas 2011, a list is available from the Consejeria de Empleo, Industria y Comercio. The installer should also be able to inform you whether or not you are entitled to the grant (if inspections have been carried out regularly), if the new system you have chosen is included in the plan an if your region is offering the grant.

Wages

Productivity bonus The majority of workers

receive a fixed wage every month.

Some 87.2 per cent of employees receive the same amount each month (93.5 per cent of civil servants) and a further 6.7 per cent receive increments for overtime. Only 1.9 per cent of employees are paid any kind of productivity bonus. The statistics were released by the Ministry of Employment following their latest survey into the Quality of Life in Work / ECVT). Almost half of those who are self employed link their income to production, just 22.8 per cent take a fixed wage. In family businesses 53.5 per cent have a fixed wage and 23.5 per cent receive productivity increments.

HouseCalls Dear Dr. De La Flor I had a heart attack and am concerned about having another. What can I do to prevent that?

Dear Dr. De La Flor

Sincerely, James

Dear James, Once you have had a heart attack (also called a myocardial infarction), a key goal will be to prevent any more MIs from occurring. You and your GP will need to address two separate issues in achieving this goal - preventing re-rupture of the plaque that caused your original MI, and delaying the progression of your underlying coronar y artery disease (CAD).

Unfortunately, patients who survive an MI may have an increased risk of experiencing either another MI, or a less severe form or Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), within a few weeks or months.

These ‘early’ recurrences are thought to be caused mainly by the re-rupture of the same plaque that caused the original MI. The risk of an early recurrence is increased when the ‘culprit’ plaque is still producing a significant partial blockage in the coronary artery.

If your acute MI was treated by the invasive approach (i.e., angioplasty and stenting), then the culprit plaque likely will already have been evaluated and dealt with. But if you were instead treated with non-invasive thrombolytic therapy (which dissolves the acute blood clot, but does not affect the plaque itself), then before you leave the hospital it will be important to evaluate whether a significant partial blockage is still present.

staying Socially active

Diagnosing the cause of palpitations requires capturing them on an electrocardiogram or an ECG

Unfortunately, atherosclerosis, which causes CAD, is a chronic, progressive disease. So once you have had an MI (which almost always means that you have significant CAD), then you need to do everything you can to slow or halt the progression of the underlying disease process.

This will require a major commitment on your part!

There are two general areas you and your doctor will have to address - drug therapy and lifestyle changes. The easy one is drug therapy.

To help prevent future MIs, you should be given the drugs that have been shown to either slow the progression of CAD, or prevent the sudden occlusion of a diseased coronary arter y (by preventing the acute clotting phenomenon that causes the occlusion).

These drugs are statins and aspirin. In addition to these drugs, you should also receive beta blockers and ACE inhibitors to help prevent heart failure Just as important as drug therapy are the lifestyle changes that will reduce your long-term risk after an MI. These include achieving and maintaining an op-

in very normal people with very normal hearts. But if the palpitations are really bothering you, then you should have your doctor find out exactly what’s causing them in your particular case. Diagnosing the cause of palpitations requires capturing them on an electrocardiogram or an ECG. However, the standard kind of ECGs that doctors use in their office only record your heart rhythm for about twelve seconds. So unless you’re really lucky you’re not going to pick up the cause of palpitations I have palpitations – it feels from that test. like my heart is skipping For tunately, ambulator y – but every time I see my doctor, my check-up is normal. monitors are available which allow you to wear a cardiac Should I be worried? monitor during normal activiSincerely, Laura ties for up to several weeks at a time, and these devices are very helpful in diagnosing the cause of palpitations.

t age 102, Ivy Bean of Bradford joined Facebook in 2008. An inspiration to other residents of the care home in which she lived, she quickly became more widely known and several fan pages were made in her honour.

When she passed away in July 2010, she had almost 5,000 friends (contacts to be precise) on Facebook.

What caught my attention was not the number of contacts but rather this lady’s ability to stay socially active.

When we meet others, we become more prone to forget about ourselves.

Giving ourselves to others is at the heart of any healthy, inspiring life.

Resolution:

Let’s try for the next two weeks to make sure that we make friendship a fine art, friendship with our loved ones first. Spend time with them, share your battles, your obstacles, your victories, your concerns. Talk to you in a couple of weeks.

Compensation

Health Service pay-outs ‘minimal’

The Canarian Health Service has admitted it paid out €14 million in compensation claims between 2007 and 2010 but insists the figure is just a tiny fraction of its overall budget.

The admission was made by regional health minister Fernando Bañolas, who said the figure had to be taken in its proper context.

“Compared to other health services the level of pay-outs here is very low, at around €4 million a year. The period saw 80 million visits to doctors’ surgeries, two million A&E visits and half a million operations. A total of just 115 court rulings in favour of patients for medical malpractice is a very small number.

The pay-out figure is a fraction of the €12 billion spent on the health service during the years in question” argued Bañolas, who accused the opposition PSOE party of stirring up a storm in a teacup by going public with the figures.

Playa San Juan

Is it open?

As we go to press word is that the very long awaited opening of the health centre in Playa San Juan should finally be operational by the time this paper reaches your home.

The first stone of the health centre, a long-standing demand by residents on the coast of Guía de Isora, was laid back in 2004 but delays and missed deadlines have postponed the opening on a number of occasions.

is not the body actually offering the facility, and that a customer attention service is not offered.

This statement was issued in response to a request by a promoter of protected flats for rental in Barcelona, where the installation of the network was authorised so that all the residents could access wifi, as long as he made no profit and that all the residents had to pay was a contribution towards the actual cost of the service.

crisis recovery

Spain’s world property ranking

ome countries have reS covered from the bursting of the property market

bubble and the economic crisis better than others over this last year.

The countries still experiencing their hardest times are in the top 10 list of the worst property markets in the world, and Spain is on that list. The financial sector crisis and an unemployment rate of over 20 per cent have made Spain’s recovery even slower than originally hoped. Topping

the list is Ireland, suffering from an annual fall of -10.8 per cent, a quarterly fall of -3.5 per cent, and with weak growth due to austerity measures. Ireland is followed by Lithuania, Ukraine and Croatia.

Fifth on the list is Dubai, followed by Greece, the USA and Portugal, and the final two are Japan, where it is hoped there will be a recovery in the second half of the year due to reconstruction after the catastrophe, and Spain.

Idealista.com

A good time to buy? ccording to www.

A idealista.com, David Taguas, president of the

large construction group Seopan, considers that now is a good time to buy property, due to the price levels which he says are now even cheaper than they were in 2005 and 2006, the golden years of the property boom.

He also says that housing needs are high, and that just because we are in a time of low demand, that doesn’t mean that no-one needs to buy a property.

According to Seopan, the uninhabited stock of property has ascended to 350,000 units, a far cry from the million or more that have been spoken of. The properties in the hands of promoters or banks are being sold at prices of up to one third less than homes in the hands of families. Of course, much depends on the area where you are seeking property. In some areas of Spain, prices have actually begun to rise again, but this has mostly happened in areas which have almost become ghost towns.

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 640 :: 08/04/2011 - 21/04/2011

Property Market:

N

owadays, the banks are restricting mortgage lending, so it is important to know what risk factors are applied by banks when we ask for a mortgage.

Forewarned is forearmed.

Most banks analyse three different aspects: The first is your capacity to meet the monthly payments, and for this they will investigate your employment situation including the possibility of you becoming unemployed or of your working conditions changing.

Generally, civil servants or those on salaries or with fixed contracts having served several years with the same company are favoured over those who are self employed,

with temporary contracts or whose pay is mainly commission based. The activity sector of your employment will also be taken into account.

Your debt ratio will be calculated. The mortgage payment amount will be divided by your net monthly income, and this ratio must not exceed 33 to 35 per cent for most banks, although some will allow a ratio of up to 40 per cent. This calculation is usually made with a hypothetical interest rate which is higher than the actual rate, to ensure that you will be capable of meeting the monthly payments if interest rates rise. Your monthly outgoings and any other loans you have will also be taken into account.

EURIBOR:

T

Great Opportunity!

I want a mortgage

What will the bank ask for?

he number of homes mortgaged in Spain fell by 7.9 per cent in Januar y compared to the same month a year ago, leaving the figure at 49,665, according to data provided by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística (INE).

The second aspect is that of the amount of mortgage applied for versus the value of the property, and the third is that the bank wants to make a profit out of you, and the amount of interest applied to your loan has to be determined. The starting point will usually be more than one per cent, but can be as much as two per cent over the Euribor rate.

Banks usually offer discounts to existing clients or those who agree to contract several of that bank’s products.

The best advice is to be prepared to defend your own personal financial situation and endeavour to choose a mortgage which suits your individual characteristics.

Euribor rate up

This is the ninth consecutive fall, and it looks as though mortgages are on a downhill slide, even though January’s drop was more moderate than December which registered -17 per cent. The average mortgage amount, however, rose in January by five per cent (compared to January 2010) to €118,519, while the total amount lent by the banks has fallen by 3.2 per cent to €5.886 million.

Meanwhile, by the end of March the Euribor rate (on which mortgage interest rates are based) was touching two per cent, with experts forecasting that it would reach its maximum (of 2.5 per cent) at the end of this year, having stabilised somewhat over the second half. Tensions in the debt markets following Portugal’s crisis together with a lack of confidence have caused the sharp rise in Euribor, a tendency which is expected to continue..

How critical are patio furniture covers?

Y

ou have selected your garden furniture, discovered the best way to thoroughly clean and also maintain it, and it now begs the question, “do I absolutely need backyard furniture covers?�

To reply to this particular concern you need to consider how frequently might your patio furniture end up being used? How hefty will be the garden furniture you’ve decided on? How simple and easy is it to move? Is your patio furniture mobile or stationary?

Have you got storage space for it when it’s not being used?

While addressing all these questions, you might decide that you would like the added peace of mind of protecting your furniture when it is not being utilised. You may well want to forego the additional cleaning and care required after a good hard rainfall.

You might want to protect your furniture from flying objects when the winds start blowing things all around.

In case you have decided on

light and portable patio furnishings created from rattan, braided aluminum, or PVC, you may want to find a utility storage room, or outdoor shed, however the additional effort of moving it around could possibly be too much.

When the patio furnishings you have chosen are made out of a weightier material such as metal, steel or wood, patio furnishings covers would certainly be considered a solution to your problem. In any case you may wish to opt for outside furniture covers as a matter of convenience.

Absolutely no hauling or heavy duty lifting is necessary.

The cleaning and care for the garden furniture has been made a lot easier by means of having outside furniture covers.

The actual outside furniture covers are manufactured from a thick weight vinyl fabric with a polyurethane lining.

The heavier the weight of vinyl fabric the more sturdy the cover. The vinyl fabric outside

shields the furniture from the rain. The polyurethane liner is usually treated to be able to resist rain water and dampness as well as guarding your outdoor furniture from nicks as well as scratches. Typically the covers are produced from woven fabric to permit ventilation.

This aids in preventing mold and mildew forming on your outdoor furniture. Regarding the winds’ capability to blow the cover from the furniture, the lawn furniture covers are created using an elastic bottom edge or many are designed using a draw string bottom using a durable lock to

keep the covers in position.

Most outdoor furniture cover manufacturers also carry cushion storage. If you want to keep your cushions separate from the frame of the furniture itself, this is a bonus to go along with your garden furniture covers.

The patio furniture covers come in various colours. The colours are created to be able to conform to the garden surroundings rather than be the focal point in the garden or patio.

ISTAC

Canaries online

ccording to the latest figures from A (ISTAC), the Canarian statistics institute, 68 per cent of homes in the

archipelago have broadband internet connection.

61 per cent of the population of the islands access the internet on a regular basis and 15 per cent of people frequently buy goods on line.

The figures also show that over three quarters of homes have a computer – 55 per cent of those are desktop, except in Fuerteventura and Lanzarote where there are more laptops in homes. Over 70 per cent of homes have some form of internet connection. Island per island El Hierro has the lowest number of users connected, with only 60 per cent, and Fuerteventura the highest percentage of online users registered, 76 per cent.

In general, the level of equipment is better in urban as opposed to rural homes, although the differences are not huge. According to ISTAC there has been a considerable increase in the number of home internet users since the last survey in 2006. Then 55 per cent of homes had computers as opposed to 77 per cent in 2010, with huge increases in the numbers using laptops, from 14 per cent to 44 per cent. There has also been an enormous rise in the number of homes online, from 39 per cent in 2006 to 70 per cent today, and broadband access has risen from 37 per cent to today’s level of 68 per cent. While the general profile of regular surfers is younger, for online purchasers the figures show older users are more common, in the 30-44 age group, a reflexion of relative spending power.

Katy column

Hello everyone,

We’ve had some lovely afternoons lately, and I spend many a happy hour in the sun, on the sea front at Playa San Juan, with a coffee and a newspaper.

B

ut I had to laugh the other afternoon when I read a small article in the Express newspaper about bed bugs. The writer was reporting, with ill disguised horror, that bed bugs are making a return to homes in the U.K. It seems people are carrying them home from foreign holidays, (not Tenerife I can guarantee!) in their luggage.

Almost one quarter of the homes in Britain had these devils in the thirties, but they were thought to be eradicated after the Second World War. Well, not in Sunderland they weren’t. Nearly everyone in our school had them in the house. The cure was a saucer of water with a lit candle in the middle. It didn’t do much, but at least you could see the little blighters in the dark, which is when they feed on you!!!

And if that didn’t work, a liquid paraffin mix in the saucer with the candle was tried.

If they ventured in, they couldn’t get out. Most of the jokes in the North East came from days like these. “We pulled the bed away from the bedroom wall, and the bedbugs pulled it back.”

Poverty was accepted with good humour since there was little to be done about it. “Katy, nip next door and ask the woman if I can bor-

Pastimes

row her Sunday joint to make some gravy, ” or “Katy, go and take this toilet roll to the shop and ask for the money back.

Tell the man the visitors never came.” And there was, “Katy, go take this button, and ask the woman next door if she can sew a shirt on it.”

We all had worms, impetigo, glue ears, chilblains and perpetual colds, many of the kids seeming to spend the winter with runny noses of a peculiar green colour you never see nowadays, and which was always wiped on a sleeve as only posh people had hankies. After a week, you could cut a house brick in half with the edge of your sleeve.

But the worst of it all was nits. In Sunderland we called the big ones Dickies. The smaller ones usually the females were known as Ginnies, and the babies of course were nits. The only cure available was the steel “Dickie comb”, an instrument of torture that was inflicted on kids every month, and raked your head like a razor. If the offending Dickies were found, your Mam or your Nan would make you kneel down in front of the fire, rake your head over, and throw the lice they caught onto the flames, where they burnt with an audible click and sizzle. Then neat paraffin was plastered over your

hair, which was then wrapped in a bit of rag, and you stayed that way with your little head burning and smarting for 24 hours.

Shampoo was a luxury none of us had, and the bar of carbolic soap we all used on face, head, hands and bodies added to the stinging and smelled as bad as the paraffin.

Little lads would be sent to school with a leather helmet, and the girls would have a pixie hood, and any little boy with the National Health glasses and the leather helmet was teased unmercifully for looking like a Japanese soldier in the war.

We wore plimsoles in the summer and wellies in the winter, and any man over 65 from Sunderland can show you the rim around his calf where the hairs never grew back after a winter of chaffing from the unlined rim. We had numerous picnics with sauce, lard, or sugar butties, and a bottle of water with lemonade crystals in it, passing from child to child, until it was cloudy with spit and crumbs, and were outside from early morning until it became dark.

Ah, the good old days. (May they never return!)

Until next time, take care and enjoy the sun. katykennedy@telefonica. net, 616110930

The SMART approach Part one

s you may know I am a personal trainer and through A this I get to meet all types of people who want to change their bodies.

Getting bigger, thinner, stronger or toned, each have their own goal and it is my job to help them achieve it. There is one thing though that most of my clients have in common, and that is, in general, to start with, they have a fear of gyms! When it comes down to it though, it’s not the gym that they are scared of, it’s that first step and it’s more about what other people might think of them.

Other than the sports enthusiasts and professionals, in the main, most people who I see want to lose weight, so they have a few extra kilos hanging around. Maybe the t-shirt does not fit properly, or the belly is more than a little over the shorts.

Whatever the shape of the body, we have to start somewhere.

So I ask all my clients, imagine that you are in front of the mirror, look at yourself and give yourself a mark out of ten for the confidence you have in your body. Then look at the ‘problem’ areas, concentrate on them, point them out to yourself in your mind and then imagine how you would feel if you had managed to change the way you look. Now with that in mind give yourself a mark out of 10 again. Is there much of a difference? Did you imagine yourself with a body you know you can achieve or did you change yourself into a supermodel or super-hunk?

For most, the supermodel look is just out of the question, mainly as we don’t binge on ‘thin’ drugs and suffer from bulimia.

So how many of you thought about just reducing the fat around the waist or broadening the shoulder? I guess most did, and the reason that I know is that most of my clients say the same thing, “life would be so much better if…”, “If only I could take a few inches off…”, “if I was a bit bigger in the chest” etc.

So look at your body, target those areas, and I am here to support you and let you know that you can achieve what you want, but more so I can help you get over your phobia of gyms and exercise.

As always we need to set clear goals, otherwise you will just flap around and not achieve anything. Use the SMART principle; Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Timely.

Next issue I will outline the SMART principle in detail. In the meantime if you have any questions please contact me through Island Connections.

Easter celebrations

The religious part A

s with almost all religious ceremonies in Spain, Easter is ripe with rituals. There are street processions and marches with participation part and parcel of the week leading up to Easter Sunday.

From small villages to larger towns and cities, no-one will be left in any doubt as to what time of year it is. The events which take place here in the Canaries fill the onlooker with different emotions and are not to be missed. As Easter this year is later than usual, it is likely that we will be able to enjoy these

celebrations with good weather.

Easter is the most important event in the religious calendar, and the main events take place between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday (April 17 to 24). The bank holidays are on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday (April 21 and 22).

The towns to visit in Tenerife during Easter are La Laguna, Adeje, Güímar, Garachico, Los Realejos, La Orotava, Puerto de la Cruz, Tacoronte, Candelaria and Granadilla. The most notable of these are La Laguna, the focus for the most formal of religious celebrations in the north, and Adeje in the south.

In Gran Canaria, Las Palmas, Teror and Ingenio are the places to visit, with the most elaborate processions taking place in Las Palmas.

In all these locations you can see the Canarian people adding fervour, costumes and colour to some of the most religious and cultural acts. On Maundy Thursday, most churches and chapels are opened to the public to view the Eucharistic figures which have been crafted over the years. There are processions in most major towns, with statues of incalculable historical and artistic value being carried, especially on Easter Thursday and Good Friday when you can see the Magna and Silent processions. For these, the best place to visit is La Laguna with formal processions taking place all week which are said to be the most traditional in all the Canary Islands.

Additionally, some towns have developed a tradition of staging passion plays in the street, including Adeje, in the south of Tenerife, which is more than worthy of a visit.

This is an extremely professional production performed by more than 300 local actors,

6. Rub a little oil over peppers and roast until skin blackens.

Peel and cut into strips.

7. Blend the tomato mixture and pass through a sieve to give a smooth sauce – check seasoning.

8. Slice remaining onions and fry with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and the sugar until soft, adding four or five roughly chopped cloves of garlic near the end so that they fry enough to be golden.

9. Layer half the garlic and onion mixture, the fish, the sauce, the sliced peppers and the rest of the onion mix.

Heat through and serve.

In fact, the giving of Easter eggs seems to have its origins along the borders of Germany and France, in Alsace and the Upper Rhineland, where the practice was first recorded in a German publication in the early 17th century. The first edible Easter Eggs were made in Germany during the early 19th century and were made of pastry and sugar.

In Germany, the arrival of the Osterhase (Easter bunny) was one of the highlights of the year for children. Nests would be built and if the children had been good the bunny would leave brightly coloured eggs for them.

Today, as with many traditions, local customs have become international in flavour. Lidl is adding to the delights, with a selection of chocolate bunnies, chickens and eggs that will suit every taste, age and pocket. On sale now, they will add to the delight of the day for the younger members of your household, or make a special treat for an older someone special.

Iceland

Eggsactly right?

es again Iceland is the place to go for a quite outstanding selection of Easter eggs, from the Y small and sweet to the very large and quite exquisite indeed.

All your favourite chocolate bars and sweets are back – Cadbury Crème Eggs, Twirl, Wispa, Buttons big and small, the Milky Bar kid is also catered for, Flake, Maltesers, Mars and Smarties, all with chunky chocolate exteriors and delightful sweetie fillings. But that’s not all. Iceland also caters for the new arrivals, and will guarantee that your offspring, male or female, should be more than happy. Hello Kitty’s Easter egg comes complete with clutch bag, Toy Story will be a hit, Thomas the Tank Engine for the younger chocolate lovers, with a spoon and egg cup, and Peppa Pig will keep nearly everyone happy.

If you’re looking for something to please a slightly older special someone (or fancy some delights all for yourself), the Lindt, Thorntons, or Duc d’O, or the quite delicious organic Green & Black selection should fit the chocolate bill.

Whatever the age of your Easter bunny, Iceland has just what you need.

Director: Ivan Reitman Screenplay: Elizabeth Meriwether Story: Michael Samonek and Elizabeth Meriwether Genre: Romance/comedy Starring: Natalie Portman, Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Kline

E

mma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Ku t c h e r ) a re l i fe - l o n g friends who almost ruin everything by having sex one morning.

In order to protect their friendship, they make a pact to keep their relationship strictly “no strings attached.” “No strings” means no jealousy, no expectations, no fighting, no flowers, no baby voices. It means they can do whatever they want,whenever they want, in whatever public place they want, as long as they don’t fall in love. However, it’s not long before they learn that they want something more.

The question becomes - who’s going to fall first? And can their friendship survive?

Probably one for the ladies, the film is a modern day Chick Flick, and it’s target audience is young women. On its opening weekend in the USA over 70 per cent of audiences were women, with high post-film ratings from both under and over 25 age group. Showing now in original version (English)

Sting

Clash of the Titans II

They’re back

Tenerife will once again form the back drop for a titanic clash!

W

arner Brothers and Legendary Pictures have confirmed that Tenerife will be the location for many of the scenes for Clash of The Titans II. Two years ago parts of the island were taken over by the film crews and transformed into movie sets for a number of weeks. This certainly proved a good generator of positive publicity for Tenerife as well as providing temporary employment and follow up tourism opportunities. Now they’re back.

Basil Iwanyk, the film’s producer, said, “one of the factors that contributed to the success of Clash of The Titans was the visual aspect of the film. Shooting in Tenerife allowed us to create the atmosphere we were looking for for the epic adventures of Perseo. The film will

see the return of Sam Worthington as Perseo, Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades, and Rosamund Pike will play Andrómeda.

“Now we want to return to Tenerife for Clash of the Titans II to the scenes we established in the first film, but also to explore the possibility of new scenarios, new diverse locations with a high visual impact that the island offers.

You could search the world over looking for the kind of scenic locations on offer in Tenerife – it’s a great resource for film makers”, he said.

According to Tenerife’s tourism councillor José Manuel Bermúdez, the return of the film crews is of huge economic benefit to the island, with over five million euros spent during shooting two years ago. “We believe, said Bermúdez, “that the coproducers will

employ up to 150 persons, local talent and professionals in the audiovisual sector as well as over 200 extras”.

If you are interested in applying for work as an extra there are a number of dates to take note of when the production teams will be viewing applications.

Topping the bill will be Canadian producer and artist Richie Hawtin, one of the most charismatic DJs on the international scene, specialising in contemporary electronic music including minimalistic, psychedelic and groovy sounds. Richie Hawtin is not only one of the brains behind Galaxia Techno and the Minus brand, but well known in his own name and for the Plastikman project.

There will be both a daytime stage (Magma Solar) with a programme of Canarian artists who are creators of alternative elec-

Liz Taylor, urban myths

ollowing the death of F Cinema legend Elizabeth Taylor there were more than a few urban myths doing the rounds about her connection to Tenerife.

Las Américas was named after she and Richard Burton paid a visit to the island; Veronicas was named after her as it is her middle name, etc. But what is true is that the pair did visit these islands (as the photo, taken in the Hotel Oasis Moreque, Los Cristianos, we found in our archives proves), and they did apparently buy some prime land in South Tenerife but subsequently sold it.

elgian dog lover Dominique was going to visit her vet early this year when she found a cardboard box with four delightfully gorgeous puppies outside the clinic door, and the body of a fifth.

Puppy plea

“We’re poor little dogs who have lost our way…”

They were 20 days old, and not in the best of health, (“how can somebody just dump dogs like that?, she asks).

Being an animal lover, and a fosterer of many dogs over the years, Dominique took the dogs in.

Unfortunately one of the four didn’t make it, but the other three were lovingly bottle fed by Dominique, in between looking after her other six dogs, and are now healthy bouncing three month old puppies in need of a loving home. She says they are, it would appear, a mix between Cocker and Chihuahua, and probably won’t grow bigger than six kilos.

The three are female, and have all now been vaccinated. Dominique would ask that anyone who would like to give a pup a home could pay the cost of the vaccinations carried out.

ost of us have dreamt, at some stage, of having a personal chef. Someone who has the best contacts for the freshest of prime materials, chooses the best on offer each day and then prepares it exactly how you want it. That dream is now an affordable reality at La Náutica in El Médano.

The new owner of this well known venue, Toribio, has a lot of experience in this field and has come up with an exciting concept – fresh food prepared to order, the way you like it best. The restaurant is a delight standing out from the rest for its cleanliness, its marine themed royal blue and white interior and its spacious terrace (right next to a children’s playground) with spectacular views of Montaña Roja, the beach and the kite and wind surfers.

The menu is a mere guide.

What’s impor tant are the fridges and display cabinets inside and the information your friendly multilingual waiter can share with you. Whether you want a full meal, a snack or tapas, this restaurant can cater for you. They offer a full range of starters including whitebait, fresh battered fish fingers and the Canarian speciality gofio escaldado from just €2.50.

Soups and salads start at €3.50.

On the day of our visit they had camerones – soft shell shrimp – which had come straight from a local fisherman’s boat into the kitchens here. These can be salty or over-boiled, but not here, they were cooked to

La Náutica Open house perfection, full of flavour and they went down a treat with a glass of white wine as we chatted to the chef about the options available.

They deal with local fishermen from El Tejado right through to Alcalá so the fish menu depends on what the sea delivers that morning. Explaining the menu, the chef told us, “why should I go to the market and buy hake that might be a bit ropey just because I have hake on the menu? I will buy the best of what’s on offer, if the monkfish is the best I will buy the monkfish.”

Fresh fish is charged by weight and type and the restaurant also offers cazuelas of fish (casseroles) and real paella, full of chunks of fish and shellfish.

Meat dishes are also on offer from €7.90 with an excellent selection of top cuts of beef, chicken or whatever you like. If you fancy a T-bone, order it, and the best T-bone the market has to offer will be bought in especially for you, or perhaps your choice is suckling pig or roast lamb, the same applies. Any cut can be obtained for you and will be prepared for you as you want when you arrive. They also have Spanish style snails and typical Canarian goat meat stew on the menu, with wrinkled potatoes and their own mojo sauces and speciality dishes such as lobster with rice can also be prepared to order.

If you are a gastronome and

Tandoori treats and the best in Indian cuisine

enjoy typical Spanish dishes such as those made with salted fish, here the chef selects the best fish, the best salt and salts the product himself, including making the typical jareas of the Canaries. You can also order elvers and thick Galician Goose barnacles – anything your heart desires. They have an excellent supplier and can fulfil your every whim.

The wine list offers a selection from the famous Torres bodega, Canarian wines and includes some from Rueda, Rioja, Ribera de Duero and there’s an excellent choice of sparkling wines.

At weekends they always buy in larger fish: swordfish, grouper, amberjack etc., whatever the sea has to offer, and however you want it prepared, it will be done. Some dishes may take a little longer obviously but with a free wifi zone and these views and comfort, waiting is a pleasure.

Sauces available include red and white wine, Vizcaina, Bilbaina, champagne, hollandaise, béarnaise, garlic (ajoarriera), Galician, green sauce (usually with parsley or coriander), Basque, mustard, Rossini, port, or with the essences of whatever shellfish the restaurant

has in stock on the day.

To get a good idea of the variety on offer we chose monkfish and fillet steak. The monkfish looked as if it had only just stopped swimming! We asked for the chef’s recommendation of sauces and were not disappointed.

The monkfish was filleted, cooked whole and then sliced, dressed with a sauce made from fresh giant red prawns and topped with a selection of prawns. Cooking it whole meant that it maintained its firmness and the sauce combined with and complemented the fish rather than overpower-

47

ing it, the two flavours mingling exquisitely on the palate. The dish gave the full flavour of the sea and is highly recommended to all those who enjoy fish and shellfish in prime condition.

We ended up dunking our bread rolls so as not to waste a drop!

The fillet steak when it came was an enjoyable surprise - we had again left it to the discretion of the chef. Laid on a bed of onions glazed with red wine, the steak was ser ved with fried sliced potatoes and had been cut into strips before flash frying to retain all the flavour and then woven with some beautiful al dente buttered carrots for presentation and flavour. The garnish was rolls of bacon wrapped in grilled red peppers, the slightly bitter flavour of the peppers combining perfectly with the streaky bacon and contrasting with the slight sweetness of the onions.

Simply delicious!

We had no room for dessert, (too much bread roll and sauce) but there is an excellent selection including home made mousse, tiramisu and Canarian quesillo starting at just €3.20 and if you like some music with your meal, a Cuban singer/guitar player entertains on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7pm onwards and then on Saturdays from 8pm and Sundays from 4pm a local ‘parranda’ comes by. This can be anything from two friends to eight, who play and sing typical Canarian and Spanish language songs and get the customers’ feet tapping. Join in and really get into the swing of things!

This is a great restaurant to chill out at, meet with friends, take pleasure in the view and the atmosphere and enjoy a great meal cooked to your specifications. The last word is with the chef, “I don’t like being restricted to a menu, I like to give the customers what they want using top quality prime materials. If I serve it, it’s good!”

Staying on the right side of the law

E

ach year in the UK, some 300,000 drivers are convicted for not having valid insurance and now, drivers of UK-plated cars in Spain, are likely to suffer the same fate.

With new laws that are coming into effect this Spring, all vehicles must be registered on the Motor Insurance Database in the United Kingdom – and owners of those that aren’t, are liable to receive a fine, face prosecution, or even have their car seized and destroyed if caught driving back in the UK or if involved in an accident anywhere in Europe.

As such, if you are the owner of a UK-plated vehicle, it’s important to find out what the current state of your insurance is by either speaking to your insurance broker or by consulting the Motor Insurance Database online at www.askmid.com.

Changes in this law are not just set

to apply to cars with UK registration plates, but also to vehicles of other European origins as well, so it is highly advisable to speak to your insurance company regarding this matter as soon as possible.

Those that have taken out motor policies with Liberty Seguros, the expats preferred insurer with the highest number of international clients in Spain, need not worry. Since May 2008, Liberty Seguros has been supplying the UK Authorities (MIB - Motor Insurance Bureau) with detailed information regarding its international client-base.

Effectively, this means that those who do have valid insurance for their UK-registered vehicle here in Spain will have been automatically added to the database with all relevant details such as the name of the policy holder, car registration details and the validity of cover with Liberty Seguros.

This is very welcome news to Liberty

© ISLAND CONNECTIONS NEWSPAPER

Seguros policy holders, as all information added to the MIB’s database can be accessed by the UK Police Force who are able to ascertain who does and who does not have insurance at the touch of a button. Thus, there would be no confusion if they were to ever be stopped by the police.

What’s more, Liberty Seguros’ Expatriate Department does in fact work closely with the MIB and confirms on its client’s behalf, that valid insurance is in place for questionable vehicles. This allows the policy holder to feel ultimate peace of mind regarding the law in Spain as well as in the UK. And it certainly eliminates the worry.

However, if you are one of the few that does not have motor cover with Liberty Seguros then it is not only of utmost importance to have valid insurance in place, but to also ensure that your current insurer has taken the necessary precautions to ensure you are staying on the right side of the law. For more information on Liberty Seguros and their exceptional

customer-oriented services such as these, visit www.libertyseguros.es/ expatriates/en. Obtain a no-obligation quotation and opt for the insurer that not only speaks your language but that has adapted its policies with you, the expat, and your lifestyle in mind.

Liberty Seguros – Because you never know.

About Liberty Seguros Liberty Seguros is the leading expatriate insurance provider in Spain with over 150,000 international clients, committed to providing high quality, competitively priced insurance products and services to both personal and business users. Liberty Seguros has been in operation since 2001 and is one of the top 10 insurers in Spain with a total of 1.5 million customers.

It is part of the Liberty Mutual Group of Companies, the 5th largest property and casualty insurance company in the US with more than 90 years experience in the sector.

F

eeling unwell is bad enough, but being ill in a foreign country when you don’t have a full command of the language makes it so much worse, which is why Doctor Camelia Sasu’s international patients appreciate not only her excellent medical skills, but also her multilingual abilities, important in an island with many foreign residents and visitors.

Daughter and granddaughter of doctors and surgeons, Doctor Sasu came to Tenerife after gaining considerable experience in hospitals, and decided to open her own clinic at Playa de la Arena in Santiago del Teide to offer a multilingual medical service to holidaymakers and residents. That was 20 years ago and thanks

Health care from Dr Camelia Sasu

to her expertise and dedication the clinic continues to go from strength to strength.

Doctor Sasu speaks eight languages which allows her to of-

fer an excellent service to her patients from all parts of the globe. Her clients are mainly British and German tourists, but she also treats many

residents from Holland, Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, Russia and East Europe. This is someone who learned her dedica-

tion to her patients and her first skills literally at her father’s knee as she accompanied him on his various outpatient visits whilst still a child. Her love of her work is equalled by her love of the island which she lauds as having, “the best climate in the world”.

The clinic’s high quality service offers guaranteed satisfaction to all their patients based on dedication and professionalism. Doctor Sasu is only too aware how difficult it can be for foreigners who are hospitalised here, so her aim is to avoid that wherever possible.

To that end the clinic offers a 24 hour emergency medical service and home or hotel visits as a matter of course. They also have their own laboratory for full blood spectrum tests etc., ultrasonic scanners, ECG tracers and full facilities for carrying out minor surgery on the spot.

The clinic can be found on the Avenida Marítima, Playa de la Arena in unit 25 of the Seguro El Sol commercial centre opposite the black sand beach.

Watch out for travelling delays and traffic situations now.

Plan routes well! You can enjoy family gatherings and catching up with neglected friends.

 Sheep (1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 There’ll be important developments in a significant friendship or new romance. How do you want things to develop? Be cautious when exercising or DIYing.

 Monkey (1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004) You might be called on to help out an older or younger family member. Be patient and don’t press your opinions on them. Just tell them how it is and let them think about it.

 Rooster (1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005) There’ll be extra chores and work tasks to cope with, but entertaining at home and family gatherings are favoured. If you’re in a new romance, express your feelings!

 Dog (1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006) Tackle the irritating little problems that have been niggling at you: reorganise your home, back-up computer data, sort out your accounts – it’ll seem easy and worthwhile.

 Pig (1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007) You should stay open to new opportunities that arise, whether social, sport or career based. Don’t take them on uncritically though. Take time to suss out what they really have to offer.

MercedesBenz choose Tenerife

Mercedes-Benz chose Tenerife as the location fo r t h e w o r l d w i d e presentation of this year’s new models.

The new Hyundai i40 H

yundai premiered the new i40 at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Its debut came as Hyundai launched its new brand slogan ‘New Thinking. New Possibilities’.

The i40 is the company’s first D-segment vehicle developed specifically for the European market. The estate version will be the first i40 to arrive, with a saloon to follow later this year. It maintains signature features such as the hexagonal grille flanked by two jewel-like headlamps, for a contemporary, confident look which is

all-round integrated ventilation and heating in the front, passenger and rear seats adds a new level of comfort and luxury to every trip.

Its sophisticated navigation system with 10-language voice recognition is simple to use, and the vehicle is prepared for Bluetooth so you can keep your hands on the wheel while you are calling or being called.

The i40 easily offers 553 litres of luggage space with the seats upright and triples its capacity to an impressive 1,719 litres with seats folded away.

With a power-operated tailgate, one of the i40’s distinct features, loading is effortless and simple.

Safety features include adaptive lighting, nine airbags including standard knee airbag, and lane keeping assistance which registers when

you move from one lane to another without indicating.

Also, while you steer, the Xenon headlights swivel to light your way through curves and bends, and all i40 wagons share ABS braking and multilink rear suspension with ESP. Parking the new Hyundai i40 is easy too: sensors all around the car measure the parking space precisely. All you need to do is change gears as directed – and find a parking space.

Hyundai’s unrivalled customer care package, Five Year Triple Care, will come as standard on i40, offering total peace of mind, with a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty, five years’ roadside assistance and five years of vehicle health checks.

For more information about the i40, go online to www. hyundai-i40.eu or visit your nearest branch of Rahn.

s a result, during March, over 700 specialist motoring journalists visited the island, not only for the presentation, but also to test drive the vehicles in Tenerife. ercedes-Benz shipped a good supply of vehicles to the island from Germany for the event, many of which could be seen parked behind the Hotel San Blas Reserva Ambiental where several associated functions took place.

C

abildo president, Ricardo Melchior and councillor for tourism, JosĂŠ Manuel BermĂşdez, together with Juan Vilella Rahn, President of the Grupo Vilella Rahn, MercedesBenz agency in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, thanked Mercedes-Benz for choosing Tenerife for this visit which is seen as one of the most relevant events of the year in the motoring world. For Rahn-Star, it was an honour to be able to take part. As a result, European press and promotional material for these new models bears photographs of the cars which were taken in Tenerife, not only good for Mercedes but good for Tenerife too.

Boxing

By George Reed

Kahn takes on the Irish B

efore Amir Khan defended his WBA light welterweight belt last December in Las Vegas, against the Nº 1 contender Marcos Maidana, he promised his fans that if he retained his title belt successfully his next defence would be back in the UK and on April 16th he will fulfill that promise when he steps into the ring at M.E.N. Arena in Manchester against Northern Ireland’s Paul McCloskey, the current European light welterweight title holder.

The ding-dong battle was exciting from the first bell when Maidana sank to the canvas after Kahn belted him in the body with a short left hook in the first round. Then Khan himself looked on the brink of defeat in the 10th round, when Maidana who, going into the right had a record of 27 KOs in his 29 fights, belted him with some really hard shots.

Then, just when it looked as if Khan would survive the round, Maidana caught him with a hard right hander which sent the young Boltonian into ‘no man’s land’. It looked as if one good punch would lay Khan flat out on the deck, one telling blow to Khan’s suspect chin would put his lights out. And as Khan covered up on the ropes, Maidana fired in punch after punch but couldn’t put him down.

Khan had shown real courage to be still on his feet at the end of the round, especially after taking such a battering from the hardest puncher in his weight division, and also showed excellent conditioning by getting his act together again for the last two rounds, even throwing a combination of punches in the last minute of the fight that won him the final round on one judge’s scorecard, and finally freed himself of the demons from the Prescott first round KO back in 2008.

After the Prescott KO Khan went to Los Angeles to be trained and coached by Freddie Roach, the finest trainer in the world today if not the greatest ever. Amazingly, within a year and just three fights later Roach had transformed the broken young fighter into a world champion – Roach’s 25th world title belt holder. Within such a short time and because of his suspect chin, Roach had taught Khan how to block and parry and slip or ride with the punches and thereby avoid being separated from his senses.

Today 24 year old Khan is a vastly different boxer to the one smashed to defeat by Prescott in 2008. He has matured as a man and a fighter, so much so that Freddy Roach himself believes that he will eventually become the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet. I personally believe he can be, as long as he can keep his chin covered, for he can punch a bit and he’s blessed with exceptional speed. As Roach says, “speed kills”.

In the meantime Amir has Paul McCloskey to take care of first on April 16th, and the 31 year old from Dungiven will be no pushover, for he’s not been beaten in his 22 professional fights and proven himself on the European circuit. However Khan has proved himself on boxing’s world stage and I believe he’ll have too many tools in his box for the man from Ireland. To be sure, there’ll be more than a few Irish eyes smiling if McCloskey can pull it off!

Still going strong at 65 Carmelo Cruz

By Karl McLaughlin

Carmelo Cruz (centre) was honoured by the Basketball Federation recently

Spain’s oldest registered basketball player has been honoured by the game in Tenerife.

65-year-old Carmelo Cruz was the centre of attention at the recent All-Star Veterans game, which pitted a team of Spain’s ‘Golden Oldies’ against their Canarian counterparts, including Carmelo himself.

The La Laguna shop owner, who switched from athletics to basketball quite late in his sporting career (as a triple jumper he held the regional record for 11 years), turns out every Thursday night for his local club, ironically called Juventud (Youth), where he also trains twice a week. The tribute, staged before the LEB league

fixture between Socas Canarias and Ourense at a packed Santiago Martín stadium, is the second one paid to Carmelo to mark his years of service to the game. “My club tried to retire me with a testimonial game back in 1980, when I was just 35, but it backfired on them. I have carried on playing and enjoy it as much as ever, even though I am up against players half my age in the Seniors League” he told Island Connections. Carmelo says he feels “physically and mentally great” despite certain referees’ raised eyebrows when they see him turn out. “It has become a bit of a joke now, with many of them having a good laugh when they see me, some asking if the team

is called Jurassic Park” he quips, adding that the €100 registration fee he pays every year is “money well spent”.

His idols include, among the current crop, Spain’s Pau Gasol, although his vote for the best player ever to grace these shores goes to former NBA star Eddie Phillips, who played for Canarias in the mid-1980s and was the Premiership’s top scorer during his incident-filled time in La Laguna.

Despite the moving testimonial, which was capped by a plaque and a signed Spanish Veterans jersey with his name on the back, Carmelo is keen to continue to play “for as long as I can still crawl around the court”. His nostalgic memories include being top scorer in the second division way back in 1972-73, not to mention his time alongside another Carmelo (Cabrera), the former Real Madrid and Spain legend widely considered the most talented basketball player ever to emerge from the Canaries.

The recent dearth of homegrown talent is a concern for this unassuming grandfather, who is sorry to see the doors closed to promising locals due to clubs’ insistence on bringing in Americans at the drop of a hat, even in the lower leagues. In his own home, however, Carmelo has anything but a lack of support. His wife Fátima, whom he married in 1973, has accompanied him to almost every game for over 40 years and was a guest of honour at her husband’s testimonial, which brought a pleasant surprise for both in the shape of their son Juan Manuel, who lives in Madrid but was flown in secretly to be with his parents on the big day.

Funding crisis

Tenerife Sur to fold?

A

decade after breaking into the top flight of Spanish men’s volleyball and just seven years after winning the Spanish Cup, Los Cristianosbased Tenerife Sur are in serious danger of folding entirely, say club sources.

Mathematically relegated from the Super League a few weeks ago, the side, which has played in Europe for seven seasons in its short history, may not be able to continue even if, another club gives up its place for financial reasons.

Club boss Jaime Fernández says the lack of support from the island’s institutions will almost certainly lead to complete closure, sooner rather than later. “It is a pity that it has come to this but it is not worth carrying on under the present conditions” said Fernández, a former top player who set up the club in 1997 when he moved to Tenerife from Asturias. Among the options open is a change of location, perhaps to Santa Cruz if sponsorship is made available.

Youth player

Three year ban T

he Las Palmas Football Association has handed out one of its toughest ever bans in an attempt to curb growing violence on the field.

An 18-year-old player from Roque Amagro FC has been suspended for three years for knocking an opponent unconscious during a junior game. The victim, who has since decided to give up football, sustained a smashed jaw and broken collarbone in the assault, which followed a confrontation over a foul. “I remember we were walking off the pitch after being sent off by the referee for squaring up to each other over the foul and then I blacked out.

Masters League summary The league title now comes down to the last game between Taylor’s Lounge and Spartans! This could be one of the best games played in Soccer Experience Masters League history so please come down and watch the game at Las Torres stadium in Adeje. The final game schedule will be played on a Friday evening soon, check out the website for the exact time: http://www.soccerexperience. com/tenerife7_master.html We are changing the next Masters

League to ‘La Liga’ Open Aged League. The Masters League has always had the rule that four players have to be 30 years and above but this has restricted some teams from joining this league. We have been advised this league which is played on a Thursday and Friday evening would be even more popular if we made it an open age league.

Because of the popularity of the over 35s league on a Tuesday night which now gives slightly older and slower motion footballers a suitable league in Southern Tenerife, we will also be keeping that, but have now decided to call the next Masters Thursday and

Friday league the Open Aged ‘La Liga’ so if you and some friends would like to play in the league that now allows any aged player to join, then please advise as soon as possible as the new league will be starting mid-April.

New 7s teams needed If you or some friends fancy joining one of the leagues, Soccer Experience need new teams for the Monday night Championship open age group league or the Tuesday slow motion over 35s league as well as the new La Liga.

There is also a Saturday kid’s league for young players seven years old and above with a few teams already playing, but more players are needed.

These league games are played every Saturday with either a 12.30pm or a 1.30pm kick off. Please get in touch as soon as possible so your kids can join the football fun!

As usual, contact Soccer Experience if you have any interest in the adult or kids weekly soccer by calling or texting +34654200470 or email: soccer@ soccerexperience.com. Many more details are available on the website: www.soccerexperience.com.

In brief:

No ‘betrayal’

Viera rules out tenerife L

as Palmas’ new under-21 international Jonathan Viera celebrated his call up for the game against Belarus with a less than complimentary jibe at regional rivals Tenerife.

The coveted forward has been linked with several bigger clubs of late but is in no doubt that his future plans do not include a move across the water to his near neighbours. “I would never consider turning out for Tenerife. It would be a betrayal of my club, its colours and my island. I would not move to them for all the money in the world” said Viera in an on-line chat with readers of the La Provincia daily recently.

World cup babies

Second ‘Iniesta’s wave T

his month will see a significant spate of baby births triggered by football success, again as a result of a last-gasp Andrés Iniesta goal.

The Barcelona midfielder, whose goal against Chelsea in the dying seconds of a Champions League semi-final in May 2009 prompted a sharp rise in births last year in the Catalan capital, can expect to see thousands of more youngsters named after him in the coming weeks, this time nationwide.

Hospitals throughout Spain report a substantial rise in deliveries expected by the end of April, coinciding with the nine-month ‘anniversary’ of Spain’s historic World Cup triumph on 11 July 2010, courtesy of Iniesta’s extra-time winner.

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 640 :: 08/04/2011 - 21/04/2011

The last we’ll see of Tapia?

27/03/2011 Elche 1:0 CD Tenerife The blanquiazules succumbed to yet another narrow defeat by a prolific Elche side, on a run of five straight victories. Tenerife have lost fifteen matches this season but ten of those have just been by one goal, which is frustrating.

Intense pressure is building on the team to deliver positive results and as they do not appear to be a group of players who can handle pressure, the omens are bad for the club. Having said that, the blanquiazules deserved more from their trip to the Mediterranean coast, but how many times have we written that this season? The match started with a high intensity but with little quality.

Typical perhaps for two teams desperate for the points, each with opposing agendas. Elche are enjoying one of their best seasons in many years and leading up to the match the club made an appeal for support. Despite this only 7,500 fans turned up at the Martin Valero Stadium which was a venue for the Spain World Cup of 1982.

The Elche pressure intensified during the first half and

Second Division 04/04/2011 CLUB

Tenerife were guilty of playing a far too cautious match plan.

The deadlock was broken on 17 minutes as a poorly defended corner resulted in Kike Mateo heading the ball into the goal for the home side. The goal spurred the blanquiazules into life with Natalio coming close to equalising and Nino missing a sitter from just metres out.

Nino is human after all! The green and white clad home team sat back in the second half as they attempted to catch Tenerife on the break. Exblanquiazul striker Ángel failed to beat Sergio Aragoneses in a one on one and later Elche had strong claims for a penalty when Ángel was up-ended in the penalty area by David Prieto.

Tenerife enjoyed their best spell of the game in the closing stages as they pressed for the crucial equaliser. Nino threatened and soon after Omar forced a spectacular save from Jaime in the Elche goal.

As frustrations grew in the final minutes two Tenerife players received their marching orders. First rather controversially, Ricardo for two yellow cards (one was later rescinded) and seconds later Beranger for a wild kick from behind. The defeat left the blanquiazules deep in relegation trouble and Elche well placed for a play-off place.

02/04/2011 Nástic de Tarragona 1:1 CD Tenerife The big clash to avoid the drop ended in stalemate in the Catalán town of Tarragona. With Nastic de Tarragona just above the relegation cut off line, and CD Tenerife just below, the game had more than three points in play in a way.

A loss for Tenerife would have left them 10 points from safety, a truly daunting task for any side but a victory would cut the gap to just four points and a lifeline. With this in mind, Nastic gave away two free tickets to all of their season ticket holders prior to the game to try and generate a hostile atmosphere for the visit of the Canarians. But it was the blanquiazules who came flying out of the traps as they dominated the early stages and created various chances.

Tenerife took the lead on the half an hour mark and it was that man Nino who picked up a loose ball and single handedly cut his way through the Nastic defence. He unleashed a fierce if not slightly bobbling effort towards goal and the ball nestled into the corner of the

net to open the scoring. The intensity was top notch by the blanquiazules, this was one of their best halves of football from the whole season.

Although they always looked vulnerable in defence, Kitoko was robbing balls in midfield and the team overall had a nice shape about them. The end of the half was to provide a cruel blow though as Felipe pounced on to a deflected pass to squirm the ball under Sergio Aragoneses in the Tenerife goal.

This Tenerife team does not respond well to setbacks and although they showed a certain determination in the second half, the doubts started to creep in.

Nastic sensed this and attacked with increasing belief but they always came up against an excellent Sergio in goal. It really would not be a Tenerife match without a red card or two and centre half Luna appears to be addicted to them. In his defence the two yellow cards he received this time were harsh as the Nastic players play acted.

With the blanquiazules reduced to ten men for the last fifteen minutes of the encounter, the main goal shifted to stop Nastic from winning the game. The last throes of the match were agony for the supporters watching back on the Island as Nastic laid siege. Fortunately
