Gastronomic initiative

R

eaders of our sister paper, Kanaren Express, and our website were among the visitors to a cookery exhibition in Tegueste’s agricultural market by a top chef from a five star luxury hotel.

Javier Mora of the Hotel Vincci Selección La Plantación del Sur prepared and ser ved almost a thousand nibbles based on the humble sweet potato. It’s all part of a new initiative from the tourist board’s programme to boost gastronomic tourism which is explained in full in our food section.

If this first event is anything to go by they are onto a winner.

The market buzzed with people and very few went away empty handed. The local restaurants that are offering sweet potato based dishes in their menus as part of the initiative have also seen an increase in business according to the market’s manager, Juan Luis Sosa, “a very good level of business given the time of year”.

ony, the popular owner of The Gateway Bar in Costa del Silencio, T was attacked by a group of youths in his own home recently.

It is not the first time this 78 year old and partially disabled man has been the victim of an attack. On this occasion four young men gained entry into his home in the Urbanisación Trebol, presumably to steal from him whilst he was asleep as they had allegedly done so in at least one other robbery. Tony tried to stop them and they gave him a severe beating which left him in a critical condition with severe skull fractures and a broken jaw. After pilfering various items from his home, they closed the door on the severely injured man leaving him for dead.

Luckily a neighbour heard his cries for help and called the emergency services who arranged for his transfer to hospital. He was unconscious when admitted but is now slowly recovering. Tony is now recovering in Costa del Silencio, but sadly, after 27 years on the island he says he has had enough and will be returning to the UK.

dinky stitched banana leaf cups held what Mora called a, “false risotto” containing sweet potato with garlic, cheese and herbs, or delicious Penny bun mushrooms and topped with tiny chunks of scallop or slivers of Serrano ham.

Hopefully we will be sent the information on the events being organised in Santiago del Teide in time for our next edition of Island Connections, if not click into www. islandconnections.eu/ for all the latest news.

Four men (two 18 year olds, one 22 and one 26) were later arrested after investigations into another robbery on the same block on the same night. Following enquiries by the Guardia Civil, a ring found in their possession was identified as Tony’s so the officers were also able to charge them with this cowardly attack. They are now in prison awaiting trial.

British Consulate service

Distinguished visitors T

he British Consul General for the Iberian Peninsula, Dave Thomas, the British Consul and Vice-Consul to the Canary Islands, Matthew Vickers and Helen Díaz de Arcaya Keating, paid a visit to the Lions Charity Shop at the Apolo Centre in Los Cristianos recently.

The visit was part of the continuing efforts by the Consulate services to blend what they are able to offer with what is on offer from the community and hopefully cover all bases. Norman Goodall MBE, the President of the Tenerife Sur branch of the Lions, welcomed his guests and gave them a tour of the facility which has been open for just under a year.

A Bee’s Eye View of Teide

orty people recently took part in an activity called a Bee’s Eye View of Teide. Organised by the Tenerife

Rural Foundation in conjunction with Tenerife’s Casa de la Miel (Honey centre in El Sauzal) and the Teide National Park, the walkers were taken on a tour of the history of the flora and the landscapes linked to honey production.

The island councillor for agriculture, José Joaquín Bethencourt, commented that it “is interesting to learn all about the intensive work the island’s bee keepers have been doing for centuries, which has resulted in local honey varieties that boast extraordinary quality - proof of which are the awards obtained at regional contests like the one the Casa de la Miel stages every year”.

Some of the honeys made here cannot be found anywhere else in the world such as the Teide Broom honey which has a delicate plant scent and goes well with herbal teas, infusions and breakfast! More tours and activities are planned.

Imam speaks out The arrival of Ramadan this year has brought increased exposure for the Muslim community in the local media and the imam of Las Palmas has taken the opportunity to send out a series of messages to government and society, some of them certain to trigger reaction.

Cash raised from the shops and other traditional fund raising activities goes to fund all the Lions Sur projects including the annual children’s holidays which so far, with the help of Lions Clubs in the UK, has paid for holidays for over 500 underprivileged or handicapped young people and their carers.

So, did the distinguished guests swell the coffers of the Lions Sur shop? Of course they did, nobody can resist a bargain.

Interviewed by daily newspaper La Provincia, Mohammed Mahmoud addressed a number of issues of topical importance, from policing to the use of the veil by women.

Mahmoud, who is hosting two senior colleagues from Egypt who have arrived to assist with the readings of the Koran at the small mosque in Las Palmas during Ramadan, called on Spain to treat the Muslim religion in the same way as the Catholic Church in terms of funding and repeated his plea for Las Palmas council to build a modern mosque in the city to cater for the

growing Muslim population. Speaking of his own role and that of his fellow imams, Mahmoud stressed that they helped prevent crime by keeping young Muslims, particularly those who do not have work, on the straight and narrow and ensuring they are not susceptible to extremist influences (La Provincia headlined its interview “An imam prevents more crime than a hundred police officers”). On the veil controversy, Mahmoud insisted that no Muslim parents would force their daughters to cover their heads and/or faces in public and, “if girls choose to do so, society should respect their decision”, adding that restricting personal freedom (if veils are banned) could have a disastrous effect.

Tourism

More visitors More good news has emerged on the tourism front for the Canaries, with the publication of the latest visitor numbers.

The number of foreigners holidaying here in July rose by just under six per cent compared to the same month in 2009, according to the Spanish Ministry of Tourism.

The Canarian figure is better than the national average for Spain overall (4.5 per cent) and is a further indicator that the end of the tunnel may be in sight according to economists.

Tenerife attracted most foreign holidaymakers, with 240,000 of the 660,000 recorded for July, followed by Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, who were all within the 120,000-160,000 bracket.

In Tenerife the number of foreign visitors rose by 8.92 per cent with the two main markets from Britain and Germany increasing by 14.79 and 9.31 per cent respectively.

Bank embarrassment

A bank in Telde has a local woman to thank for saving them from major embarrassment after an employee closed up but left all the branch keys in the door.

T

he woman called in to withdraw money from an ATM and spotted the keys still in the lock, even though there was nobody inside. She initially thought someone was playing a joke on her but soon realised it was a serious matter and called the police, who arrived within minutes to take charge of the keys. Police expressed their appreciation in a statement praising the woman for her actions. “The bank has been saved from the potentially serious consequences of an oversight thanks to this lady. Banks do not just have money on the premises, they store the confidential details of many people,” local station staff said. The bank has been in touch with her to express its gratitude.

Tourism

Holiday firm collapses

Hundreds of British holidaymakers faced a nervous wait in the Canaries following the collapse of another UK holiday firm.

K

iss Travel ceased trading recently, leaving thousands of clients in foreign destinations, including some in the Canaries, in limbo. The Civil Aviation Authority announced that an estimated 13,000 passengers would need to be brought home from their holidays. Many more customers who have booked to travel to the Canaries with Kiss are likely to lose their money and will have to rebook with another company. According to the UK media, Kiss Travel took on many bookings from Goldtrail, which collapsed last month.

Home sought

Tank dog

An animal shelter in La Gomera is looking for a new home for a dog rescued after spending a week at the bottom of an empty water tank.

T

he dog was extracted from the deep tank after locals reported hearing distressed barking over a period of several nights at the secluded spot in Hermigua. She had gone without food or water for a week, her rescuers believe.

It is likely the untagged dog became lost when out hunting, given that there is a popular hunting site nearby. Her rescuers have criticised her owner for apparently making no effort to find her since her disappearance.

E

Undercover teams from the programme have already looked at allegations that holidaymakers are being ripped off by unscrupulous doctors in Tenerife, some of whom prescribe unnecessary courses of treatment and even hospitalisation for minor ailments to cash in on the visit by the tourist. Reporter Carole Machin took an expert medical advisor along with her to Tenerife to check the diagnosis given for symptoms of mild ailments described to a resort doctor and found in some cases that the treatment was far in excess of what was required. “We spoke to a guy who’d had an ear infection while on holiday.

He went to the doctor, as you would, and he asked him to come in every day for six days, morning and night, to have five injections – 10 a day, so 60 in total – and he ended up with a bill of nearly £5,000,” Carole explained, adding that the best policy for people who fall ill was to locate a reputable doctor through a tour rep.

arly programmes in the BBC’s Secret Tourist series have included references to some less palatable aspects of holidays in the Canaries.

BBC programme

Secret Tourist reveals… dercover film crew took along pool safety expert Douglas Cameron to inspect the standards and facilities at over 20 hotels. They found 11 to be substandard, with filters failing to keep the pools clean, leading to “scrapeable” scum and bacteria along the pool edges.

More worryingly, says Machin, around half of hotel pools were in breach of lifeguard regulations, with attendants caring little about the safety of the users. One lifeguard was filmed reading his magazine throughout his time on duty, from a seat which had a clear

view only of the pool bar and terrace but not the pool itself.

According to Secret Tourist, the Canarian authorities denied that supervision rules were being consistently broken and emphasised that they had carried out checks on over 1,000 hotels in the islands in 2009.

Air controllers strike

Working conditions deal The much-feared strike by air traffic controllers looks to have been averted by a late breakthrough in negotiations on working conditions, which both sides are claiming as a partial victory.

The Spanish airports authority (AENA) believes its tough stance when the endof-August strike was called served to show the main controllers’ union that the action would not be allowed to bring chaos to the skies and it was prepared to

seek government help to bring in military personnel if necessary to keep airports open. For their part, the controllers say the near-unanimous backing for the nationwide strike (98 per cent of members voted in favour) was a clear warning to the government that they were serious about pressing their demands for a review of working practices.

The controllers’ representative in the Canaries said the agreement should see an end to nearly six months of conflict with AENA and he was happy with the

outcome, although he accused the Authority and Government of turning the country against the profession. Speaking in the Canarias 7 newspaper, Fernando Torrent said, “controllers had become Public Enemy No. 1 due to the campaign launched to vilify us, with details of our salaries and working hours published regularly in the media”.

Torrent said he hoped it would take another 21 years for an all-out strike to be considered again, following the last walk-out in 1989.

T

iles and paving are to be replaced and communal areas renewed in this latest outlay by the corporation which makes a total of €320,000 investment in the facilities over the last few years. The market has always been a fabulous place to shop for all kinds of foodstuffs and now it’s pretty too. If you’ve never been, you will thoroughly enjoy it. Especially interesting from our point of view are the cheese stalls, the spices stalls, the wide variety of fruit and vegetables available, pulses sold loose by weight and the delicatessens.

Taking the mickey in Taguluche?

By Barbara Belt

I

nhabitants of the small, rural enclave of Taguluche are thoroughly fed up with the continual problems suffered at the village’s only bar and restaurant.

The local neighbours’ association has come to the press to accuse mayor Ruymán García of, “having left the village without basic amenities, or even a meeting place.

“This man has done nothing but go against the village.

If this is the quality of life that he wishes to impose on us, we insist that he resigns. We, the local people, refuse to put up with this negligence and abandonment any more. He’s taking the mickey!”

Taguluche is the next valley westwards from Valle Gran Rey and falls within its municipal boundaries. Only ten minutes away by sea, weather permitting, it takes nearly an hour on winding, narrow roads to get from Valle Gran Rey to Taguluche by car and is one of the more isolated of the island’s inhabited villages.

Tourism has changed the face of its bigger neighbour, but has barely touched the equally picturesque Taguluche.

The population has gradually dwindled as young people leave in search of jobs elsewhere. The people remaining are mainly elderly.

The few younger people still there have a difficult time managing schooling for their children, or buying what they

need. They tend to leave, sooner or later. The remaining elderly population is isolated and, although accustomed to rural life, made vulnerable by ageing in an exclusively elderly community.

The bar in question, the village’s only social centre, is housed in a building owned

by Valle Gran Rey’s municipal council and has been closed since May, when the young family running this multi-functioned bar, restaurant and general store decided to go.

Since then, according to the neighbours’ association, “we haven’t even been able to buy basic necessities like bread.

We’ve been around to Valle Gran Rey to the town hall on numerous occasions to try to talk to the mayor about a possible solution, but he hides away and refuses to see us.

All we can do is officially register our complaints at the office there, but nothing ever comes of any of it. They tell us someone will come soon, but nothing ever happens. They’ve forgotten us. Our visits there are always a complete waste of time. We’re totally fed up with the situation.

“The building’s also used as our medical centre when the doctor comes on Wednesdays.

We have to go in and clean it ourselves because it’s in such a terrible state. When there are funerals it’s the same. And now this!” What has really upset everyone now is a recent event, put on by the local council, in the building.

Crafty Cabildo

Tourists and visitors alike enjoy a wander around a craft fair and they can be excellent places to buy gifts or souvenirs.

H

owever setting them up can be expensive and as craftwork in general is not a job for those who want to rake in the cash, if the full costs are passed on to the sellers, they probably couldn’t afford to take a stall.

T

he island council (Cabildo) recognises this and has put aside €40,697 to grant aid the events in 10 boroughs.

La Matanza, Guía de Isora, Buenavista del Norte, Santa Úrsula, La Victoria, Los Silos, Vilaflor, Santiago del Teide, Garachico and Adeje will all be receiving help towards the costs of setting up the stalls, publicity and the security of the areas during the events.

Summer scorcher

BBQ ban

The Tenerife island council issued a warning to residents and visitors that until further notice, activities such as barbecues are banned in the upper parts of the island due to the high summer temperatures.

T “We’re looking into having him officially declared persona non grata. This really was too much”, continues the neighbours’ association. “He (Ruymán García) held a meeting there!

Can you believe it! It got opened up, cleaned and stocked with food and drink so that guests could enjoy the live music that was put on.

Why wasn’t all the money it cost spent on sorting out this problem? Does he think he can keep us all quiet with a plate of food?”

The mayor, for his part, denies that the building is closed.

“We’re trying to find a solution to the bar problem, but the building isn’t totally closed.

The computer and gymnastics rooms are still available”.

A computer room is unlikely to be of much relevance to an elderly population. It also seems improbable that country people, accustomed to hard physical labour, will be excited by the attractions of

gymnastics. Perhaps the fact that the building still functions as a weekly health centre and occasional morgue provides some consolation to locals.

Whilst a morgue is not nearly as entertaining as a glass of wine or two, a game of dominoes, singing, or even that default pastime, arguing about football and politics, it may, after all, be thought more appropriate for a handful of pensioners than a bar. That would appear to be the official view.

However, the people of Taguluche have a history of fighting the untenable.

The same group tenaciously dragged the previous council right through the Spanish legal system, and on to the European Court of Human Rights, to secure the end of a planned water-bottling plant which would have dried up village irrigation water. “All we need now is somewhere to buy essentials and a place to relax”, says the neighbours association.

he ban includes no lighting of fires of any kind in recreation and barbecue areas; a ban on fireworks; no burning vegetation and leftovers from tree cutting and plant clippings; no bonfires of any kind, as well as banning the use in farmland or wooded areas of any type of equipment which could give off sparks such as weeding machines, burners for bee keepers or soldering equipment etc. The Cabildo says the ban will not be lifted until the weather cools down and the extreme risk of forest and wild fires is reduced. If high temperatures are forecast combined with strong winds it is recommended that the higher parts of the island are avoided unless necessary and that anyone in those areas sticks to the proper roads and avoids forest tracks.

Hiking

Pathfinders

The island council has agreed a budget of €495,000 to improve conditions in one of the prettiest hiking routes in the south as part of their general plans to improve the chain of footpaths all over the island.

T

he Canaries is establishing itself increasingly as a hikers’ destination and the council have decided to invest a considerable amount of cash to improve the signposting and condition of the routes. The PR-TF77 runs between Vilafor and Adeje and consists of tarmac, forest and traditional footpath sections. The first two types of surface are in good condition and only need signposting, but the traditional sections need clearing of invasive vegetation, marking the direction of the path more clearly and constructing walls which will also serve to lower the maintenance by keeping the path free from falling debris.

Useful information from the British Consulate Minors in Tenerife

Parents should be aware that Spanish law defines anyone under the age of 18 to be a minor, subject to parental control or adult supervision.

Any unaccompanied minors that come to the attention of the Spanish local authorities (for whatever reason but particularly in connection with criminal incidents or when in hospital) are deemed to be vulnerable under the law and face being taken into a minors’ centre for their protection until their situation is resolved and a parent or suitable guardian can be found.

Padrón The padrón is a register kept by the local council of all those who are resident in their municipality. Everyone who lives in Spain is obliged to register on the padrón by law. Those who do not register may not use municipal services such as cultural classes, excursions for pensioners and, most importantly social services.

Hotels’ fear

Balconing craze

Ca n a r i a n h o t e l s a re worried that the publicity given to a new craze which has taken root among tourists in the Balearics may prompt an increase in incidents here too.

T

he craze, known as ‘balconing’, has led to a surge in serious accidents caused by young holidaymakers, particularly Britons, scrambling up the sides of buildings, jumping from one balcony to another or towards swimming pools. Emergency services in the Balearics had to rush three young people to hospital in the space of just twelve hours on a single Sunday after they had jumped from hotel and apar tment balconies.

Four people have died in the Balearics so far this summer, which has seen a three-fold increase in the number of serious balcony incidents.

The authorities here are concerned that the media hype given to the balconing fad may encourage further acts of bravado during the rest of the holidays.

Canarian government

Superminister

A coincidence of holiday breaks over the summer holidays produced possibly the most powerful minister ever in the Canarian government, albeit temporarily.

P

ublic works minister Juan Ramon Hernández suddenly found himself signing paperwork for six regional departments when colleagues took time off for their vacations. Hernández signed ministerial orders as well as approving urgent business for education, justice, industry, social affairs and the environment in addition to his public works duties.

T

he early part of September is overshadowed for many families by the start of the Autumn school term.

The annual cost of uniforms, shoes, books and equipment bites into the family budget and most households in the Canaries will pay out between €500 and €1,200 per child depending on whether they attend a state-run or private school, not counting school fees if applicable or the extra curricular activities such as additional languages, information technology, music and extra sports such as tennis or swimming. These classes, considered extras, are often the only way working parents can ensure that their children are safe and occupied until they can collect them.

The choice of rucksacks is still a cause for concern. According to the users and consumers organisation, OCU, over 65 per cent of school children between 11 and 14 years of age have to carry between five and eight kilos on their backs daily. Orthopaedic traumatologists claim that properly designed and chosen, the standard rucksack may actually be beneficial to the children’s health. The weight of the bag pulls back the shoulders and makes them walk straight and it is distributed evenly between the two shoulders, whereas they consider the pullalong bags on wheels less manageable and believe that they can force the wrist and cause injuries as they have only one anchorage point. Think seriously about buying from a specialist store such as Decathlon, who kit out hikers all year round and know what they’re talking about. Further information on choosing a rucksack is available on our website.

If you’re stuck for time, think about getting together with some other mums from your child’s class and sharing the cost comparison work. Be wary of all-in packs offered from the schools, it may seem cheaper but you could end up paying almost a third more.

Make a list and stick to it. If a box of eight coloured pencils is stipulated, why buy a box of 30?

It may be only a few euros more but do the same on every item and watch the overall costs soar.

Wherever possible go shopping without your child who will inevitably want the fashion item of the moment which will be five times more expensive and usually last half the time.

There is no rule that says that school material has to be new every year. You are bound to have blue and black biros at home for example, pencils, rubbers and pencil sharpeners etc. If you purchased a good rucksack last year and your child looked after it, that too can still be used.

Check out the big hypermarkets for packs of school material.

They are often better quality and last longer than short term cheaper options which end up with broken pencil leads and dried up pens.

Check for grants The Canarian Government are phasing in multi-year textbooks in some subjects with a grant to the school, but the parents must apply for them. Check with your school which school years are benefitting in 2010. The books must be returned to the school at the end of the school year and will remain current for at least four years.

Encourage your child to use the library, many textbooks which are not in daily use are available there and your child also learns to search for information by him or herself. Classic literature from books published up to the mid 19th century are available on google at http://books.google. com.

Whenever possible try and spread the expense. Many supermarkets have ‘vuelta al cole’ offers in July and August.

Look out for extra curricular activities that are grant aided, you can save up to 50 per cent of the

overall cost. Encourage your children to look after their uniforms and other school materials and make it clear that badly treated items will not be replaced at will.

The parent’s association is a good place to press for more adaptable uniforms so that you can buy off-the-peg grey, black or navy skirts and trousers for example rather than the maroon design with the blue piping which has to be obtained from the expensive school outfitters. Good choices for off the peg are Marks & Spencer, H & M or own brand labels of AlCampo and Carrefour.

Sometimes the school or playschool try and insist on supplying the uniform themselves and your child ends up as a logo-toting walking advert for them. It goes without saying that the items are usually much more expensive too.

It is unlikely that they are licensed to sell clothes, so if you are worried that your child may ‘pay’ for any complaint you may make to the authorities, try and get your local clothing store to do it for you under the unfair competition laws.

Summer statistics

Results from the Spanish National Statistics Institute show the Canaries in second place for levels of hotel occupancy in July.

T

he Balearics was the most popular destination in the country and achieved 85.9 per cent hotel occupancy compared with the Canaries’ 70.2 per cent and Catalonia’s 69.8 per cent. British tourism was up 12.4 per cent over last July and German three per cent with the foreigners choosing the Canary Islands in third place behind the Balearics and Catalonia. Preferred destinations for the Spanish tourists were Andalusia, Valencia and Catalonia respectively. Over 35 million overnight stays were registered in the country during July, an increase of 7.2 per cent over last year and five per cent up over the first six months of 2010.

Travel safety

Spanair scare

Airline Spanair was involved in a major scare in Gran Canaria just hours before the second anniversary of the Madrid plane crash, also involving a Spanair aircraft, in which almost 160 people died.

A

n evening flight bound for the Spanish capital was forced to turn back shortly after take-off when a bang was heard on board and smoke detected. According to local media, some passengers panicked after the pilot announced he was returning to Gran Canaria due to engine problems.

The plane was later deemed unfit to continue the journey.

Fuerteventura

Visitor figures soar

many of whom had to spend the night there before being able to take their delayed flights. According to local media, passengers on the troubled Monarch flight were put up in hotels in Caleta de Fuste while the aircraft was checked.

Fuerteventura’s tourist sector is celebrating the news that the number of holidaymakers in July was a massive 40 per cent up on the same month a year ago.

T

he island’s tourism councillor Águeda Montelongo says July was the, “second best month for Fuerteventura since 2003” and the signs are that the recovery will continue further in coming months thanks to the rise in winter flights. Among the traditional markets, Irish holidaymakers posted an increase of more than 200 per cent, with Britons up 44 per cent and Germans 33 per cent. The biggest rise, however, was noted among Slovakians, whose numbers rose by 315 per cent. The July figure means that tourism overall from Januar y this year is 14 per cent up, an extra 100,000 visitors. Montelongo added that Ryanair now accounts for 12 per cent of international flights to the island.

Air emergency

Engine trouble on a Monarch aircraft bound for Manchester caused extensive disruption at Fuerteventura airport, after the pilot asked to land there instead of returning to Lanzarote.

T

he late evening incident was triggered when the crew on Monarch’s ZB627 service reported a problem with one of the engines on the Airbus 321 minutes after take-of f. The aeroplane, carr ying 199 passengers, levelled off at 3,500 feet and diverted to neighbouring Fuer teventura to use its longer runway. The airport had to be shut for a few hours while the emergency services prepared for and then dealt with the landing.

The closure, which forced a small number of flights to switch to Lanzarote, affected an estimated 300 passengers,

Lanzarote

Restaurant gutted in fire

Playa Blanca in Lanzarote has lost one of its bestknown eating places following a blaze at a popular Chinese restaurant in the Punta Limones Centre.

T

he mysterious fire broke out at 8am and required 15 members of the local fire brigade to put it out. Police diverted traffic away from the scene amid fears that six large gas cylinders might explode in the heat. The fire, which took a full three hours and 13,000 litres of water to bring under control, also affected a discotheque and an Irish pub in the Centre, although neither is believed to have suffered serious damage, unlike the restaurant which was gutted.

Dual charity lunch Fundraising

A 15 year old British boy who is going to work in a South African orphanage as part of his Duke of Edinburgh Award needed to raise money for the journey and also for the orphanage.

Luckily his grandma is the well known Tinerfeñan resident and doyenne of fundraisers, Ann Goulden.

Ann offered to organise a fundraising lunch for William and his trip to the Zulu Fadder Orphanage and School in

Eshowe and the boy’s immediate response was to share the charity event with one of Ann’s regular charity beneficiaries, the Association San LazaroProyectos Martha Centres for children with cerebral palsy in La Laguna, which he has visited several times with her. Two of the children, Vanessa and Zaira, and their carers joined them for the lunch.

Almost 60 people attended the lunch at the Bello Horizonte restaurant in San Juan de la Rambla which is under new management. Four courses

Resource protection Fuerteventura

German rescued

A German man whose small boat capsized off Fuerteventura has lived to tell the tale after a speedy rescue by local emergency services.

T

he man was sailing off the coast at Pájara when he got into difficulty and his family on shore realised he could not get back to the beach. The emergency services were notified that the boat was drifting badly and by the time a lifeboat located the stricken sailor over an hour later he was around three miles from the coast. The relieved German explained that, although he had been able to right the boat relatively quickly after capsizing, the small engine had been disabled and he had lost all his equipment.

Shellfish control

he Canarian Government’s Agriculture and Fisheries Department has tabled a new measure to control T shellfish collection of certain species along the shores of the islands.

Some species are already partially or totally protected, but the new legislation is intended to guarantee the protection of shellfish to ensure its continued production. It will set dates when the various species may or may not be collected, the minimum permitted size for collection, maximum amount of capture and zones for collection. Collectors will need to have a licence and will only be allowed to collect in the areas above the low tide mark, never under the sea, in marine reserves (unless authorised to do so).

Interestingly, the Canarian Government’s new law prohibits the collection inside ports or within a five mile radius of ports to ensure that the shellfish are not contaminated, whilst they deny that the pristine beaches near Granadilla will be affected by the proposed port there.

Also curiously, they have used the services of the university scientists to draw up the plan, something they spectacularly failed to do when they changed the law protecting certain species in Granadilla to allow them to continue with a project which the scientific community is wholeheartedly against.

Spanish students may be aware of the saying, “quien hizo la ley, hizo la trampa” which translates roughly as rules are made to be broken or those who make the rules cheat.

After years of experience organising events, Ann reckons that this was the best ever, the most fun.

Fun and excitement in Arona

his year’s activities for the youngsters in Arona have been an overwhelming success.

Over 500 teenagers and young adults gathered for the first of the programmed events in Las Galletas aimed at promoting healthy leisure activities, showing the youngsters that you can have a great time without drugs or alcohol and teaching them about responsible consumption and the discovery and development of health related hobbies amongst other pursuits.

The last event is scheduled to take place on the 27th, so Island Connections early birds can still join in the fun at Los Cristianos from 5pm to midnight. Among the activities scheduled are, climbing, dance classes, karaoke, DJ sessions, tuning zone, photography, musical and choreographic acts and an aerial ropeslide.

Meet the Pirate in Arona

1,500 people have enjoyed the beach library project A Sea of Books in Arona this summer.

Over

The project is still running until the end of August every weekend in the Playa de Las Galletas and the Playa de Los Cristianos from 9am to 9pm. The idea is to get more people, and especially children, reading. There’s a book exchange service, daily newspapers and special visitors such as the Pirate and Corsair Sindy as well as other acts including poetry and music, with story telling from 6pm onwards.

Imserso places are holiday places for senior citizens grant aided by the Government and a drastic reduction has been made in a new wave of cost cutting measures. The Tenerife CEOE (business people’s confederation) believes that it could cost the tourist industry here €4 million. The President of the CEOE, José Fernando Rodríguez de Azero, has written to the Minister to ask her to reconsider the number of places that are being cut in the Canaries, an area which already has one of the highest levels of unemployment in the country. The cuts would not only affect the hotels, but transport, leisure and restaurant companies too.

The across the board cut of 20 per cent announced means that the Canaries will lose 36,000 tourists – 250,000 overnight stays. Although the island by island breakdown for the proposal isn’t available yet, it is feared that Tenerife will be the most affected as it is the island which currently offers the most places at the moment so it would be logical that it will suffer in proportion.

A Venezuelan who used counterfeit money to pay for a hotel stay in Tenerife has been arrested on the island.

The 55-year-old, who was visiting Tenerife for business, booked an upmarket hotel in Puerto de la Cruz for himself and his family and paid cash in full to the travel agent in Icod de Los Vinos he used for the booking. However, when an employee of the travel agency went to lodge the money in a local bank he was told that €1,400 of the €2,344 in cash were high-quality fake notes. Police were alerted immediately and the man was detained shortly afterwards at the hotel.

Los Silos

Bells row

T

he tranquil town of Los Silos is at the centre of a bitter row over whether the bells at the local church should continue to ring at all hours.

Neighbours are petitioning to save the bell ringing

The dispute was triggered when a new resident, who is originally from the Spanish mainland, protested that his peace and sleep were being seriously disturbed by the timekeeping bells, which are named Laura after a local girl who died in a fire many years ago in the town. The protest has reached Los Silos council, which must rule on whether the man’s rights are being breached by the noise levels, particularly at night. However, the vast majority of people in Los Silos are furious at the possibility of a gagging order and have mounted a petition which has already collected 1,500 signatures. One of the petition organisers, Gloria Beltrán, says the trouble has been caused by, “one person who is not prepared to adapt to local customs. These bells have been ringing day and night long before he decided to move next door to the church, so he should not be able to impose his will on the rest of the town”, she declared.

Santa Cruz

Mayoral dilemma More infighting in the conservative Popular Party in Tenerife could scupper its chances of wresting the mayorship of Santa Cruz from current holders, the nationalist Canarian Coalition.

The latest internal dispute saw the well-liked Ángel Llanos removed as a councillor at the insistence of the local PP leadership, which has been engaged in a bitter battle with him since he came to prominence in Tenerife politics a few years ago. Llanos agreed to step aside but has made it clear that he intends to stand as

a candidate in next year’s local elections. He is convinced he will win due to his popularity among voters in Santa Cruz, but his bid may be thwarted by the PP’s leader in Tenerife Cristina Tavio, who is thought to favour a different candidate. In the meantime, local media continue to give ample coverage to Llanos, as he steps up his ‘man of the people’ campaign to be nominated. In an interview in La Opinión daily, Llanos said he had given his first speech at the age of four and confessed, as a child, to having tried to shut his crying young brother up using an adult suppository.

Puerto de la Cruz

Work may cause closures Shops on a Puerto de la Cruz street undergoing major repairs and renovations are in danger of going under if the work is not completed soon, say local traders.

Eight businesses have already closed down due to the effects of the work on Calle Zamora, which runs between Calle La Hoya and Calle Iriarte, and traders fear more closures may be on the cards if the delays continue. Juan Carlos Arricivita, head of Puerto’s Traders Association, admits the situation is becoming more worrying by the week, with takings down by 60 per cent in many cases. Ramesh

Gordhan, who runs an electronics shop on the street, says poor planning has had a devastating effect on him and his colleagues.

Speaking to El Día paper, he acknowledged that the improvements were, “good for the town” but shops and businesses should have been consulted. “We were told the work, which began in December, would be over in eight months and many of us bought in stock for August only to find the access problems continue” said Gordhan. It is likely the street will not reopen fully for another four months, a 50 per cent overrun on the initial projection.

Candelaria Virgin

Tons of food This year´s pilgrimage to Candelaria to pay tribute to the patron of Tenerife, the statue of the Black Madonna, produced some unusual anecdotes, not to mention the warmest walk for many years, as temperatures soared to the high 30s.

The local church says that the crowds who converged on the town after walking from points all over the island brought a massive 21,000 kilos of food to donate for distribution to needy persons. The donations, which were organised by local farmers’ associations and

a well-known bank, included 12,000 litres of milk, 44,000 eggs and 2,000 kilos of bananas, along with large amounts of fresh fruit and vegetables, which Dominican monks in Candelaria collected in to give out to local families. The town’s mayor and the head of the Tenerife Cabildo, Ricardo Melchior, offered up a symbolic basket of food to the statue of the Virgin, in keeping with the ageold tradition of the Candelaria fiestas, which drew tens of thousands of people this year despite the searing heat.

Music and the Deaf T

he Charity Fun Bowl for the UK based charity, Music and the Deaf, will take place on Friday September 3.

Music and the Deaf was founded by Doctor Paul Whittaker who received the O.B.E for his pioneering work in this field. The charity provides opportunities for deaf people in the UK and occasionally in Europe, to access music through games, exploring instruments and creating a piece of music. They provide training courses for musicians, teachers and other professionals, stage musical shows

with their pupils giving them the chance to develop drama, dance, music and other performance skills, provide instrumental tuition, have a deaf youth orchestra, sign theatre performances, produce guides and a multitude of other related projects to bring music into the lives of the deaf.

Encouraged by ex headmistress, Doreen Lemm, who was connected with the charity before retirement, the regular bowlers at the Megabowl in Playa Fañabé organise a charity fun bowl evening in support of this worthy cause each year.

It kicks off at 7pm and costs just €20 including entry, bowl-

Access improvement

The popular beach in Santa Cruz, Playa Las Teresitas, is to be made easier to use for those with mobility difficulties.

A series of buoys are to be anchored from the beach into the sea near the number one access point (next to the bus stop) which will make it easier for people with mobility difficulty to enter and leave the sea.

If you live in Arona and want to join in, check with the council.

There is also transport arranged from some areas.

The partial opening of the beach road down to the popular surfer’s beach at Playa del Socorro means that the island bus company, Titsa, can now operate its usual summer service.

A member of Santa Cruz’s council wants to convince the ports authority that it is possible to uncover the beach that used to be in the centre of the capital.

The councillor for Social Wellbeing, Ignacio González, declared, “it is time to reactivate a proposal that was approved by this council” whereby Santa Cruz has its own Las Canteras beach and finally stops living with its back to the sea. “Tinerfeñans, those who visit us from other islands, tourists, small and medium businesses ....want to be able to bathe in the centre without the necessity of using a car. This city needs an attraction which creates wealth, employment, leisure and tourism”, he added, claiming that the project would cost, “only” €6 million.

Over 50 youngsters from all over the island got together on International Youth Day in the Plaza de Garachico in the main town for group dynamic sessions, and to learn more about the programmes which the RCY run on the prevention of drug abuse and sex education. The occasion honoured the thousands of young Spaniards who have given freely of their time and energy over the last 40 years to help society and develop a different way of understanding and seeing life.

The Canarian Alternative Nationalist party (ANC) have called for street demonstrations in support of Cho Vito to stop the remaining demolitions due in

October. According to the Minister’s decree, the population should abandon their homes on or before September 20.

The ANC have proposed demonstrations outside the house of the local mayor, the Tenerife Cabildo offices, the Canarian Government building and the offices of the Spanish sub-delegate to Tenerife. The organisation is demanding,

“more democracy in the archipelago and respect for the Island heritage”. They claim that the habitants of the area are suffering constant harassment and warn that if the Ministry for the Interior begin, “whatever type of violence, they may assume whatever type of response” adding that they will be denouncing the case internationally.

Cabildo Connectivity

Faster broadband The first tests for the installation of the new Tenerife fibre optic ring network to improve internet connectivity took place recently.

Costs and environmental impact are being kept to a minimum by using existing connecting corridors such as the motorways and tram system. The island councillor for the economy, Carlos Alonso, claimed that the network will mean that, “before the end of the year, Tenerife will have one of the most advanced fibre optic networks in Spain”.

In addition to bringing broadband to areas which are not yet covered and supplying a faster and more fluid system all over the island, the cable will also provide telecommunications facilities to all companies to allow them to compete equally for business all over the island and offer the same services.

UK banks post encouraging profits – but at whose cost?

Earning profits

By Bill Blevins, Financial Correspondent, Blevins Franks

I

n August each year UK banks publish their reports on the first half of the year.

Between them, Britain’s five biggest banks reported over £15 billion in pre-tax profits for the first six months of the year. This is good news for shareholders and the markets in general. It’s good news for British taxpayers who are propping up banks to the tune of around £1 trillion. Unfortunately it’s unlikely to make any difference to savers who will probably keep receiving a pittance in interest in spite of having helped the banks back to profit.

Most analysts had expected lower profits, particularly since banks generally struggle to improve profitability when interest rates are low. However, their current approach of paying savers low returns at the same time as charging borrowers inflated interest rates would appear to be serving the banks very well.

Lloyds Banking Group

Lloyds, which is 41 per cent state owned, reported a pre tax profit of £1.6 billion for the first half of 2010, compared to a loss of £4 billion last year. This was double what most analysts had expected, with some now predicting annual profits of £4 billion.

pared to a loss of £3.35 billion last year.

Chief executive, Stephen Hester, acknowledged that the bank had only, “broke even” as its net profit was £9 million after an unusually large tax bill of £931 million.

HSBC

HSBC survived the financial

Royal Bank of Scotland crisis without receiving any

RBS, which is 84 per cent state owned, reported pre-tax profits of £1.14 billion, up from £15 million a year ago.

The group made an operating profit of £1.58 billion, com-

direct government support and has now posted a pretax profit of £7.1 billion for the period – a 121 per cent increase from last year. HSBC banking group made gains in

ever y region except Nor th America, with the strongest growth coming from Asia where lending grew by 15 per cent.

Just over half the profits came from investment banking.

Barclays

Barclays reported a £3.95 billion pre-tax profit, up 44 per cent last year.

Performance was boosted by a sharp drop in bad debts, though the bulk of the profits came from its investment banking arm Barclays Capital which made £3.4 billion – a 225 per cent rise in profits.

While a drop in bad debts has helped banks recover, the improvement in Lloyds and RBS’ net interest margin – the difference between what they receive from borrowers and pay out to savers, expressed as a percentage of interest-bearing assets – was a significant boost to their profits. Banks have arguably been able to post massive profits to the detriment of savers and borrowers.

While savers generally only receive a little over the Bank of England base rate – often not even enough to keep up with inflation – borrowers are paying many multiple of times in excess of the rates that banks borrow at.

If you would like your capital to work for you, rather than for the banks, ask an experienced and qualified wealth manager like Blevins Franks to discuss alternatives based on your circumstances, objectives and risk profile.

Unemployment pay

Self employed N

ew legislation has been introduced to allow the self employed to contribute to a fund for unemployment benefits.

Those workers who are already paying social security contributions for accidents and professional illnesses will be automatically included in the new

system and their contribution increased whether or not they want it. Those of the remainder who wish to voluntarily increase the amount of social security they pay by 1.7 per cent will be entitled to unemployment benefits if they have to stop trading. According to the national president of the federation of self employed associations, Lorenzo Amor, the average social security contribution of the self employed is €800 so an increment of €13 per

month or €156 a year would give them unemployment cover. The federation believes that around 700,000 self employed workers will voluntarily increase their contributions when the new law comes into effect in three months time. To obtain benefits they would need to have been paying a minimum contribution for at least 12 months without a break just before they have to stop trading and the length of time they are able to claim will be based on the number of contributions made.

Electricity

Free light bulb

Check your electricity bill carefully for a voucher for a free light bulb.

As part of their energy saving scheme, the Government are encouraging people to switch to low consumption long life bulbs by giving each homeowner one free. A voucher like this should come with your electricity bill and all you have to do is take it to the nearest post office (oficina de Correos) to exchange it for a free bulb. Stocks are low and you often need to make a return visit, but patience pays off in the end.

The vouchers are valid until December 31.

Taxation

Higher taxes?

The Minister for Development, José Blanco, has expressed his opinion that Spanish taxes are, “very low”.

In an interview with Europa Press, the Minister opened the door to putting Spanish taxes on a par with the average level of EU taxation. He failed to make it clear whether these increases would affect everybody or only the higher earners. Blanco implied that we wouldn’t have to wait long to see if taxes were going to increase and for whom.

Making ends meet Over half the working population is either already working at or trying to get a second job to balance the family’s budget.

At 54 per cent of the workers, the number is considerably higher than last year’s figure of 10 per cent according to the consumer group Eroski. It would seem that circumstances are obliging Spanish workers to change their lifestyles, sacrifice their free time and seek a second job.

According to a study by Randstad most are trying to find extra work at weekends or additional part time work during the day which is compatible with their existing job. Still others are making use of their holidays to gain extra cash.

The most popular jobs are telephone operator, hostess, promotion or manning public help desks.

Dear Dr. De La Flor Dear Dr. De La Flor, I now have my dad living with us. He has chronic obstr uctive pulmonar y disease (COPD), what can I do to make my house more liveable for him?

Respectfully, Andrea

Dear Andrea, There are several issues you should consider: dust, fumes, germs, and other irritants like tobacco that can aggravate COPD symptoms.

Smoking poses an enormous threat to the lungs. Here are some tips to avoid household hazards that can worsen his condition: • Clean Air conditioning air ducts periodically.

• Keep rugs and carpets clean since they can be a major source of dust and dirt. Bare wood floors are best. Leaving shoes at the door can easily cut back on dust in the house.

• Cleaning Products: Oven cleaners, spray polish, and other household cleansers - especially those that contain bleach or ammonia can be very irritating. Replace fumeproducing products with lessirritating ‘green’ cleansers - or rely on old-fashioned cleaning agents like soap and water, baking soda, and vinegar.

• Check moisture levels since it breeds bacteria and mould: From shower cubicles to that sponge left lying by the kitchen sink, towels not properly hung to dry, just to name a few.

HealthExtra

Dr. De La Flor

• Keep pets sharp! To prevent dir t and dander (bits of dry skin and hair) pets should be washed and groomed often and keep them out of your bedroom.

• Showerheads can harbour a typical mycobacteria.

These germs are generally harmless to healthy people, but capable of causing a chronic, low-grade infection that brings coughing and shortness of breath in people with COPD. • Toiletries: If your dad is sensitive to scented soaps, shampoos or deodorants, stick with unscented personal products.

The better job you do at keeping the home tidy will result in fewer flare ups and will minimise your dad’s need for medication. Remember to encourage him to perform respiratory as well as regular, low impact aerobic exercise to keep lungs and heart fit!

Dear Dr. De

La Flor, I take calcium supplements for my osteoporosis. I recently read an article that said calcium may increase heart attack risk. What’s your opinion?

Cheers, Nancy

Dear Nancy, I think we need to seriously consider whether calcium supplementation is a good thing for most people, given that it is associated with a very small decrease in fracture risk.

Most researchers suggest that it is time to reassess the role of calcium supplementation for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis.

Studies prove that calcium supplements may rapidly elevate blood calcium levels, which could contribute to artery disease. Calcium from food sources is absorbed

much more slowly. This study appeared recently in the journal BMJ and it encourages patients to get their calcium from the foods they eat and not from supplements.

Pharmaceutical companies obviate that calcium or calcium with vitamin D protection against bone fracture is also far from convincing.

Calcium supplements alone do not prevent fractures and may even slightly increase fracture risk. Given the uncertain benefits of calcium supplements, any level of (heart) risk is unwarranted, people with osteoporosis should be taking medications, not supplements, to treat the disease. I would recommend calcium supplements only to patients who can’t get much calcium in their diets.

If you eat enough lowfat dairy products or other foods with calcium, you probably do not need much supplementation. I advise some of my patients to keep a food-log to check what they eat for two to three weeks. Doing so will help you to see your nutritional habits and assess whether you are consuming an adequate amount of calcium through diet alone.

Dr. De La Flor, licensed G.P. He also holds certificates in coaching, nutrition and medical exercise from the University of Berkeley in California, the American Council on Exercise and the U.S. National Strength & Conditioning Association. He is a strong believer in work/life balance and spends much of his time outside of his surgery on the tennis court, jogging or chasing his four kids around the neighbourhood. You can reach the doctor and nutritional coach at 00-34-697.888.666 to schedule a consultation in his new surgery in Adeje or a medical visit in your home/ business.

Change for a more attractive smile Dr Chanut

n attractive smile has always been the focal point of a person’s attention to improving aesA thetic appearance and thus their self-esteem.

It’s the contrasts of shape, colour, line, and texture that enable us to differentiate one tooth from another, the teeth from the gums, and the smile from the face.

To understand why a smile with teeth in harmony is considered beautiful, you need to meet a smile specialist who will guide you in making the best choices so that your smile is as attractive as possible.

An evaluation of your expectations and full understanding of any possible therapy is crucial before embarking upon any treatment plan.

An analysis of your facial features, dental smile line, labial aesthetics, your speaking comfort and other, more complex procedures are necessary for achieving the optimal final aesthetics.

This complete aesthetic analysis provides the specialist with the information he or she needs to make the most appropriate procedural choices for your special individual case.

Using a suitable aesthetic checklist is invaluable for identifying all the data needed to optimise the attractive smile appearance with implants and prosthetics.

In aesthetic dentistry there are talented clinic technicians and ceramists who possess a wide-ranging expertise that allows them to provide a range of treatments, from a single-unit implant or veneer all the way to complex mouth rehabilitation.

We base our treatment on a solid and systematic scientific foundation with the ability to apply the finest imaginable artistry to craft your ideal smile.

Emergency services

he Canarian emergency services attended to almost 1,000 calls a day during the first six months T of this year.

Just over a fifth of these required ambulance assistance but 8,873 of the 168,604 calls could be dealt with over the phone by the specialist medical staff on call. Of the ambulance cases, 53.4 per cent were transferred to hospital, 24.7 per cent were dealt with in local health centres, 10.4 per cent at private health centres and the remainder were helped on the spot by the emergency services and required no further treatment.

The major part, 82.4 per cent of the ambulance cases, were for illnesses such as heart attacks, strokes, diabetic comas etc. with traffic accidents making up the remainder.

Run Forrest run!

D

o you remember the in movie where Forrest Gump shakes his braces off and starts running?

He runs non-stop and meets a lot of people who run with him. His shoes lose all their rubber so he has to run barefoot. A fantastic story? Well, not really.

Would you believe me if I told you that are some real Forrest Gumps out there who manage to run more than 26 miles a day? And do you know what? They have no running shoes, no Ipod, no brand mark high quality equipment. They wear just a breech cloth to cover their extremities (men) or a dress (women). They run either barefoot or wearing sandals called huaraches made out of old tyre tread and leather straps. These people are the Tarahumara or ‘the running Indians’.

But what makes them able to run distances like those covered by only the most advanced ultra-marathon runners today? This relates to the age-old question scientists all over the world have argued about since the evolution of sports science. Is it environment (training) or genetics?

How does nutrition affect performance?

Tarahumara are normally small and lean. Running so far daily they have a huge amount of red muscle fibres. These muscles deliver performance for a very long time. They have a very low body fat ratio which is the result of their adaptation to daily cardio-training.

Back to school

E

verything you need for both boys and girls for the start of the Autumn term is available from Marks & Spencer. Skirts, blouses, shirts, ties, plimsolls, tights,

cardigans, trousers, coats, blazers, shorts, polo shirts, jumpers, shoes and socks, for all ages, accessories too, at affordable prices.

Visit your nearest Marks & Spencer store or order online from www.marksandspencer.com

If you work out four times a week on a treadmill here are a few physiological adaptations you can expect: • A lowering of your heart rate • A lowering of the risk of cardiac diseases (high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc.)

• An increase of your breath per minute ratio • Higher blood quantity and higher haemoglobin count • Improved endurance • Improved regeneration skills • Strengthening of your immune system • Production of anti oxidants Now can you imagine if you work out seven days a week for several hours the adaptations your body will make?

So what makes the Tarahumaras able to perform to that level on a daily basis? They are traditionally farmers and eat lots of corn, beans, squash and chilli. They collect all kind of vegetables and fruits.

A field study from 1973 tells us more about their nutritional habits. Their carbohydrate intake makes up the majority of their diet at 75-80 per cent, mostly complex carbs, (corn, beans and vegetables), only six per cent came from simple sugars. Protein amounts to 10-15 per cent of their diet, mostly from fish and plants and their total fat intake is 12 per cent, two per cent saturated, and the remaining split equally between unsaturated and polyunsaturated.

What can we learn from them?

These people are not professional sportsmen and women. If you are a runner these nutritional habits would help you to increase your performance. But be careful: if you are overweight, want to lose weight or if you are a sprinter, football player or weightlifter your nutritional needs are very different.

These ‘running Indians’ are a living example that you can perform at a top level as you adapt your training and your nutrition to your personal needs. Never forget, your body is an adaptation-machine. It will adapt to all conditions, positive (with training, muscles grow) or negative (lazy habits, muscles shrink). So think positively and get the body and the performance you always wanted.

Noise nuisance Dear Editor

T

hank you for printing my letter in edition 623 regarding noise nuisance in Adeje.

We had a good positive response and thank those people who have contacted the action group - Action Against Noise Nuisance in Adeje. It would appear that there are many people in the area who have approached the Ayuntamiento and the local police regarding excessive noise levels and whilst they adhered to the correct procedures, completing Denuncia after Denuncia, their problems continue. In most cases the problems get worse as the Ayuntamiento knowingly turns a blind eye. Those who have replied are in agreement that we do need to join forces in order to get justice.

Further to my previous letter, it would now appear that local traders are trying to encourage

EDITION 624 :: 27/08/2010 - 10/09/2010 :: ISLAND CONNECTIONS

Chinese Horoscope

editorial@ic-news.com

the Ayuntamientos of both Adeje and Arona to organize a debate regarding the future nightlife in the South.

The traders are obviously only interested in promoting more discotheques, pubs and the like. We as a group feel that it is about time that as owners and residents who pay their taxes to the Ayuntamientos that we should be heard about what we want before the whole of the coastal area becomes ‘Playa de Veronicas’.

In the areas of Puerto Colon and Torviscas Bajo clandestine discotheques, some of which are hiding behind café/pub licenses (to the knowledge of the Ayuntamiento), have cropped up all over the place causing immense problems.

The Ayuntamiento has not had the decency to contact the neighbouring communities to allow them to voice their objections prior to these establishments opening or receiving licenses.

The Ayuntamientos accept our money in the form of taxes but they do not acknowledge us in any other way. Everyone should be entitled to a peaceful

environment in their own home and a good night’s sleep, even those people on holiday here.

After all not everyone wants to party and dance the night away until 4.00 and 5.00 a.m. in the morning.

This type of nightlife is for the minority not for the majority.

One has to ask oneself where the Ayuntamiento get their statistics from telling them that this is what the area wants – could it be from just a few businessmen?

We need as many people and or communities to join the group in order to get the Ayuntamiento to recognize us and give us the negotiating power to make ourselves heard.

Whether you are an individual or president of a community who has problems relating to noise nuisance we want to hear from you. Please contact us by email: aannadeje@hotmail.com or telephone us on 679 212594.

Nightlife in residential areas Dear Editor

W

hy have ayuntamientos suddenly star ted granting licenses to night clubs in residential areas in the south of Tenerife?

Examples include three such clubs that have recently opened side-by-side in a completely inappropriate residential part of Torviscas Bajo.

These clubs attract droves of youths, botellón street parties, noise and extensive basura.

Problems that did not exist beforehand. Any future debate regarding nightlife in the South needs to strike up a compromise and earmark far more appropriate zones for the positioning of all-night clubs such as these.

Daniela Herzberg & Roger Keller are based in the south-west of Tenerife. They both are certified Feng Shui and Chinese Astrology consultants and Cosmic Healers and work and teach in Tenerife and Germany. Their comprehensive knowledge about Feng Shui, Chinese Astrology and the five elements is a result of their work with Derek Walters, one of the most respected Feng Shui masters in the world. They have published several books about Chinese Astrology and how to increase your health and vitality with the five elements, with recipes from all over the world.

 Rat (1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008) Be cautious if disagreements or misunderstandings arise. This isn’t the time to climb on your high horse and allow rifts or breaks to develop. Stay diplomatic and flexible, and talk things through.  Ox (1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009) Take care if driving, walking, running, bicycling, working out or dancing. If you’re planning to climb a mountain – forget it! However, trips, outings and holidays are favoured.  Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998) There’ll be at least one hopeful, interesting, humorous or strange encounter - at work, in a business, group or team situation, so keep your eyes open!  Rabbit (1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999) Stay stoically calm and an alternative option will appear or spring to mind. It’s a time to reflect and regain inner balance. Prepare yourself for the future.  Dragon (1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000) Work to preserve friendships and romantic unions.

There’ll be tensions and mood swings to contend with. If you react aggressively to harsh words you’ll only worsen the situation.  Snake (1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001) Things will fall into place if you’re moving home, renovating, buying a new vehicle or generally sorting out practical stuff. Try to avoid long journeys!  Horse (1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002) Horses will have positive unexpected news or a breakthrough in one life area. Try not to take chances, as irritating accidents could occur. You’ll be safe but it could be embarrassing.

 Sheep (1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 Career climbing Sheep will win promotion, a new role or at the least a pat on the back. If you’re seeking employment, double your efforts and you’ll get a welcome surprise.  Monkey (1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004) Expect whinges, mistakes and wobbles from colleagues, employees, the government and banking system. These things are sent to try us.

Tackle hassles head on and keep going.  Rooster (1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005) Take some time out for the family and yourself from your schedule and it’ll help you focus. You might be offered opportunities: bargains, deals, special offers, etc, but don’t be fooled.  Dog (1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006) There will be excellent family or home news. Many Dogs will be considering, planning or activating a property change. The Earth energies support you.  Pig (1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007) Don’t panic if you are confronted with disputes now. This won’t be as bad as it sounds. In the end certain relationships are strengthened, and single Pigs will enjoy some loving attention.

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

Example 27.1. 1967 still belongs to the year of the horse.

Tripadvisor

Weird and wonderful?

One of the leading opinion sharing websites has just published a list of its top ten, “wacky restaurants”.

The choices include the option to eat out of a toilet, dine with fish, ghoulish goulash, pants made out of tea bags, where the fish sounds like the sea, where bugs are only the beginning, feeding alligators and eating seafood, dining in the dark, eating like the Jetsons and sushi with ninjas. It takes all sorts….

Abattoir strike threat

Meat supply fears

Gran Canaria has been warned to expect meat supply problems from the end of the month due to strike action at the island’s two abattoirs.

Staff at the abattoirs, which are run by the Cabildo, say their working conditions have deteriorated considerably since they were taken over by the corporation and talks have failed to produce progress. The strike was called in mid-August after all 44 workers voted to take the action in protest at their current situation. “Since the change of ownership, we are working longer hours, without proper safety protection, and our wages have been cut by up to €2,800 a year”, a representative said. The strike is likely to affect meat and poultry supplies not just in Gran Canaria but in Fuerteventura and Lanzarote also.

Tourism initiative

Great gastronomy A

new Tenerife tourist board gastronomic initiative has been launched in Tegueste.

of the borough. From the town centre, El Gamonal, Café de Pedro, Tasca El Rincón de Tino and Tasca La Hoya del Moral, from El Portezuelo, Restaurante El Nervioso, Restaurante el Tema, Bar Azoca, Restaurante Abuelo Pepe, Restaurante El Parralito and Tasca Tío Pedro, in El Socorro, Casa Mi Suegra, San Gonzalo and Tasca Damián y Angélica, in San Luis and Las Toscas, Tasca Verode and Bar La Arrancadilla and in Pedro Álvarez Restaurante Donde Rocha.

The promotion is being organised in conjunction with the council, the popular local farmers’ market which draws between 20 and 25 thousand people a year and a local workshop which is training youngsters to promote the area as a well deserved ‘must visit’ wine region.

Tegueste is a mainly agricultural zone with great potential and whether you know the area or not, now is a great time to visit.

The farmers’ market is open Saturdays and Sundays from 8am to 2pm.

This is the first of a regular series of events to be organised all over the island under the Tenerife culinary showroom project. It’s a wonderful idea and promises to be a gastronomic delight which deserves public support.

The next event lined up is in Santiago del Teide from 13-26 September and will be dedicated to garlic. Watch this space for more details.

The idea is to promote a specific area via a local product that is intrinsically linked with that region, matched of course with local wines. As one of the coordinators of the overall Tenerife gastronomic plan, José Carlos Marrero, explained that theoretically, “a tourist could arrive blindfolded to his or her destination and by the scents and tastes around him or her, know where they were”.

Each area will propose their own way of promoting their product, it may be by a competition, tasting sessions, demonstrations, special dishes prepared in the local bars and restaurants or whatever local ingenuity can come up with.

Tegueste, a pretty northern town surrounded by vineyards, chose the sweet potato as their key ingredient. It’s cultivated from Anaga to Punta del Hidalgo and is one of many agricultural gems of this area. From the 16th August until the end of the month, 16 local tascas and restaurants will be offering a special dish featuring this tuber as part or all of a starter, main course or dessert. It’s hoped that the dishes will be so popular that they will continue to feature on the menus of the town, benefiting both the local economy and the agricultural landscape.

The restaurants taking part in the project are from all parts

Agriculture

Home grown olives

The Canarian Government is backing farmers who want to cultivate olives.

T

he announcement was made by the Department of Agriculture’s General Director, Domingo Bueno during a visit to the experimental olive farm in Arico run by the Sociedad Cooperativa Cumbres de Abona which makes its own olive oil from the fruit of 40,000 olive trees in Arico and Güímar. Olive farms are also in production in Granadilla de Abona, Agüimes (Gran Canaria) and Fuerteventura.

The same Arico cooperative also produces excellent wines, black potatoes and chanterelle mushrooms which are produced in the seven natural caves on their property.

Illegal imports

Oranges seized

The Canarian authorities have seized a shipment of 1,000 kilos of South African oranges which were being passed off as Spanish.

The batch was bought by a well-known food retailer in Tenerife but was intercepted under legislation which bans the import of citrus fruits from outside Spain. The ban is designed to protect the Canaries from devastating pests commonly found in citrus fruits, particularly from countries in the Middle East and Africa. An investigation has been launched into the discovery and legal action is likely against the distributor, who labelled the oranges as being from Murcia in south-east Spain.

Canarian choices

Summer tapas

Canarian residents increase their consumption of tapas in summer by 68 per cent according to a study by the campaign Pan Cada Día (Daily Bread).

Among their favourite tapas are Galician style octopus, Roman style squid and Spanish omelette.

The majority, 70 per cent, eat tapas with their family and only 27 per cent with their friends but there doesn’t seem to be any favourite part of the day for eating tapas, with 21 per cent preferring lunchtime, 25 per cent dinnertime and 46 per cent either/or.

ock Story is the latest presentation by Viana Shows and Exit Palace in San Eugenio.

The brainchild of Eric Viana and described as a tribute, it is much more than that – it is an impressive musical stage production worthy of the West End or Broadway.

The cast of 16 international musicians, singers and dancers interpret three shows to perfection: The Dream Musical of Abba, The Pulse concert of Pink Floyd and the We Will Rock You concert of Queen. They don’t just stand there, sing and pretend to be these superstars, this show is innovative, supported by sophisticated laser lighting, thought provoking videos, magnificent stage sets and an extremely talented dance troupe.

On arrival at this classy venue, after a complementary glass of champagne in the courtyard, everyone moves into the air conditioned Sala Española which is intimately laid out with well spaced tables for up to five people and discreetly lit by ceiling spotlights.

Wherever you sit, you have a great view of the semi-circular stage and the catwalk which culminates in a ministage with a piano.

At 9.30pm the Abba show kicks off with Mamma Mia, followed by a string of hits including Dancing Queen, Gimme Gimme Gimme (which cleverly turns into Madonna’s Hung Up), Winner Takes It All, One of Us, Does Your Mother Know, and a medley of Take a Chance on Me, S.O.S., Honey, Honey and Voulez Vous.

The costumes are fabulous, musically it is excellent and the choreography brilliant. So much so, that it is difficult to know which aspect to focus on – the singers, the dancers or the first class

musicians. The show continues with Chiquitita and ends magnificently with Waterloo.

Following a short break the stage rises in darkness with seven people on board to the sounds of Is there Anybody Out There? Next comes Shine On You Crazy Diamond. The lighting effects are fascinating in this Pink Floyd show, as are the musicians. There are also some highly amusing touches – high level cables run across the front of the stage, and during Learning to Fly, an inflatable spaceman slowly moves across, and for the song Money, a giant pink piggy bank makes the same trip. A high ribbon trapeze dancer cavorts gracefully above the stage as videos are shown while the percussionists are perched high on their own platforms to the left and right of the stage. One of these is show creator and producer Eric Viana and we promise you he is one hell of a drummer!

Tribute is paid to the many international singers and musicians who have joined that Great Gig in the Sky, followed by the song Wish You Were Here. During Comfortably Numb the trapeze dancer returns, this time with ropes, and then a wall is built on the stage which eventually partially obscures the performers who are belting out Another Brick in the Wall.

The wall breaks and it’s goodbye with Run Like Hell.

Anyone who saw the original Pink Floyd tribute when it started life at Pleasure Island will see that it has come a long, long way

Chayanne September 19 since then and is far more suited to this big stage setting.

The Queen show opens with One Vision. More fabulous music, vocals and dancers, and lots of Queen hits including Another One Bites the Dust, Radio GaGa and Who Wants to Live Forever featuring a wonderful piano performance by the female keyboard player. Bohemian Rhapsody was a masterpiece, as was Barcelona (the singer who took Montserrat Caballe’s part was breathtaking), and A Kind of Magic during which four male dancers performed somersaults and cartwheels.

I Want to Break Free and We Are the Champions ended the show, and there was a final reprise with We Will Rock You involving full audience participation.

What is clear is that all the singers and musicians can turn their hands (or voices) to any type of music, and they do so with passion and grace. If you love stage musicals, you will love this. Performances are on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays with tickets available from hotel receptions, agencies, or on the door at only €25 for adults and €9 for youngsters from four to 14 years old. Exit Palace is located at Exit 29 from the TF1 motorway, near Siam Park. We wholeheartedly encourage you to go and see this breathtaking show.

Hands On

Helpful hints for around the house

Solar water heating Part 1

I

nstall a solar hot water system and let the sun pay your monthly water heating bill!

You get nothing for free in this life, that’s what they say. However, sunshine is free. You may have to make an initial investment to capture its energy, but after that, …. nada, not a bean for up to 35 years! (oh alright then, a teeny bit of maintenance).

This is a follow up to the article Solar Hot Water – The Facts, which will take you through choosing and installing a system for your home.

Since 2006, new homes in Spain should have been fitted with the necessary plumbing to connect a solar system to your hot water supply. This makes it relatively easy to install for the DIY enthusiast.

Is solar hot water a good investment for you?

If you buy a good quality system, here in Tenerife, it can provide 100 per cent of your hot water needs for most of the time. The following table lists the main benefits of the gravity fed (thermosyphon) systems suitable for most homes in Tenerife.

Water heating comparison table Electric/Gas: Pay 100 per cent of your hot water bill Solar: Eliminate 85-100 per cent of your hot water bill Electric/Gas: Constantly rising yearly utility bills Solar: Constantly increasing savings Electric/Gas: No increased value to your home Solar: Adds value to your home Electric/Gas: Monthly payments for hot water with no return on your investment.

Solar: Will pay for itself and give a return Electric/Gas: Creates pollution Solar: Uses non-polluting free solar energy Electric/Gas: Electric heaters don’t work during blackouts (not unheard-of here in Tenerife!). Cold showers!

Solar: Needs no energy to run. Works even Electric/Gas: Gas heaters may run out of gas.

T

he open/auction day at the refuge raised around €1,350 with some more cash still to come. A fantastic day was had by all and more information is on our website. We are now planning bonfire night celebrations, so watch this space. Many, many thanks to all involved.

More thanks go to:

Inconvenience of changing cylinders Solar: Needs no energy to run. No Cylinders to replace Tough regulations brought in by the Spanish government have ensured that the new high-tech systems such as this one from Constante, are efficient, reliable and safe.

This system, perfect for our climate here in Tenerife, uses gravity to circulate the water, so no power supply is needed. The large water tank is well insulated and provides far more available hot water than a conventional gas or electric heater, great for those of us who like a bath with more than six inches of water! Just remember to take your bath early enough to allow the panel to heat some more water.

So why doesn’t everyone have one?

The answer is firstly, cost. A good electric heater will cost you about €200, a gas heater, about €400 and a good solar heater, about €1,500. Secondly, solar energy does not have an entirely good track record over here. Some systems fitted in the 70s and 80s were poorly designed and badly installed.

That said, there are systems over here which have been giving good service for 25 years or more.

Armeñime

Owl rescued

This beautiful owl lost his bearings one night and crashed into a car at Armeñime, breaking a leg. The wise owners of the vehicle involved took him to the Guardia Civil, who in turn sent him to Seprona, their wildlife protection wing in the north of Tenerife, for veterinary care. Once healed, he will be set free to hoot in the wild again at Armeñime where he was found.

It is now Live Arico’s policy to ask for a minimum donation of €50 for an adopted male dog, and €75 for a female, which is paid direct to Hospivet Sur on collection of your new pet, who will as a result be chipped, neutered, vaccinated and wormed.

Travelling without worry W

ith the current economic climate as it is today and the disruption caused by the volcanic ash over the past months, thousands have chosen to make their summer getaways by car.

And of course, the more saturated our roads are, the more care that needs to be taken to ensure a safe journey to one’s destination.

Peace of mind at the wheel is achieved by not only taking the necessary precautions such as respecting speed limits, wearing a seat belt and taking regular breaks to combat fatigue, but is reinforced when adequate preparations are made in advance to cover any eventuality.

So if you’re taking time out this summer and are planning to make a lengthy trip by road, you might like to ask yourself the following questions: Do you have sufficient car insurance cover should the unexpected actually happen? Do you have roadside assistance and what would happen in the event that your vehicle needed to be taken to a repair shop?

And perhaps more importantly – are you happy with your current motor insurance provider and is the cover that you have sufficient for your travelling needs?

Liberty Seguros, the leading expat insurer in Spain with over 120,000 international clients, is one company that has taken these niggling doubts into consideration.

Because its current motor product has been designed with the travelling expat in mind and includes benefits that really will cover drivers for just about any eventuality.

If you are still suffering with the heat they also have fabulous offers on top brand air conditioning units with slashed prices and even some 2x1 bargains.

The idea is to reduce the contribution of the member states to the EU coffers according to the Budget Commissioner, Janusz Lewandowski in an interview with the Financial Times Deutschland.

A Budget spokesman, Patrizio Fiorilli announced that among the possibilities that are being discussed is a tax on air transport, deadly for the tourism trade in the Canaries. Alternatives are taxes on financial transactions or to shave off part

of the tax collection for licences to emit greenhouse effect gasses. However the German Minister for Finance has rejected the idea of a direct tax.

Currently 76 per cent of the EU budget is financed by the member states and Lewandowski believes that, “the time has arrived to look for new sources of income”.

Fiorilli underlined that whatever decision is reached should be, “politically acceptable, financially reasonable and practical” adding, “it doesn’t make sense to get €100 in if it costs you €95 to collect it.

Economy

Debt improvement

Another of the economy’s green shoots showed itself with the latest figures for consumer debt and bankruptcies.

The number of monthly payments returned in June stood at 349,498, 25.1 per cent down on the previous month and at €614 million, it was down 42.1 per cent on June 2009.

The Canary Islands unfortunately are at the head of the debtors’ list as far

as unpaid monthly repayments are concerned with 5.3 per cent of the cash due remaining due. The Islands were also second in the average amount left owing at €2,964 behind Andalusia at €3,036.

Also promising nationally were the bankruptcy figures which stood at 1,511 for the second quarter, a reduction of 6.9 per cent over the first three months and 14.2 per cent over

House purchases

The amount of mortgage money lent in June rose to €9,504 million, an increase of 29.5 per cent over the previous year’s figure.

One of the main factors in the increase has been the increase in the amount of direct taxation on new homes.

However the total amount of consumer credit loans was down by 35 per cent on the same month last year.

the same period last year.

The largest group of bankruptcies were in construction and property development with 32.3 per cent of the total, followed by industry and energy at 20 per cent and 15.1 per cent commerce. The regions of Catalonia, Valencia, Madrid and Andalusia concentrated 59.6 per cent of the total number of bankruptcies.

Statistics

Biker deaths down R

oad fatalities involving motorcyclists have fallen by over 40 per cent in the province of Tenerife so far this year but the traffic authorities still feel there is room for more improvement.

The new Land Rover

Freelander 2

The Land Rover Freelander has been modified giving it better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.

A

new upgraded 2.2 litre diesel engine will be available with either 150PS or 190PS, giving stronger performance and improved efficiency throughout the range.

Land Rover’s new turbo diesel engine is available in the 4WD TD4 150PS model featuring a manual transmission and improved intelligent Stop/Start technology as standard (an automatic gearbox without Stop/Start is available as

a cost option), or the new SD4 model delivering 190PS (available in automatic transmission only).

The 2.2-litre 150PS TD4 manual has improved CO2 emissions by eight per cent to 165g/km with a corresponding improvement in fuel economy of nine per cent to 45.6mpg. The 2.2-litre 150PS TD4 and 190 PS SD4 automatics see a 14 per cent improvement in emissions to 185g/km and fuel economy of 40.4mpg.

This new engine is quieter, more efficient and both derivatives have 20Nm more torque than the out-

going engine. This means the 2011 Freelander 2 offers improved engine response and more midrange strength for towing.

Despite reductions in consumption and emissions, there has been no compromise in performance.

The flagship 190PS Freelander SD4 accelerates from rest to 60mph in 8.7 seconds with an increased top speed of 118mph. The Freelander 150PS TD4 manual and automatic versions match the performance of their predecessors.

As well as being upgraded from EU4 to EU5, both versions have

a new variable geometry turbocharger and have been extensively re-calibrated to deliver new levels of power, meet emissions regulations and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. They are fitted with a catalysed diesel particle filter as standard and are now compatible with 10 per cent biodiesel rather than five per cent.

Additionally, Land Rover will offer customers a 2WD derivative, the Freelander 2 eD4. This will be the most frugal Land Rover ever produced, with fuel consumption of 47.2mpg combined, and emissions of just 158g/km. This groundbreaking Freelander 2 eD4 is powered by the new 2.2-litre turbo diesel engine, delivering 150PS, only available with a six-speed manual transmission featuring Stop/Start technology as standard.

The exterior of the latest Freelander 2 gets a new look too, with a new front bumper assembly incorporating new front fog lamp bezels, a new front grille finish, improved headlights and tail lamps, new full width tailgate appliqué and new 18 or 19-inch alloy wheel styles. There are three new colour schemes for 2011 Kosrae Green, Baltic Blue and Fuji White.

Inside, the instrument dials have been revised, and there are four new seat styles with the option of a Premium Pack which includes Windsor Leather upholstery, an 8/6 way electric seat, plus premium carpet mats and covered centre stowage.

For more information, go to www.landrover.com/es or contact Imdicasa S.A. on 922 823 422

Only four motorcyclists were killed on the roads of Tenerife, La Gomera, La Palma and El Hierro up to August and the figures suggest last year’s record of 13 deaths will not be matched. The acting head of the Civil Guard’s Traffic Unit says most serious accidents involving bikers are the riders’ fault and are caused by excessive risk-taking.

“Most also involve big bikes of 650cc and above. When you have large groups of riders out for the day, you inevitably get situations of recklessness when they try to show off their prowess,” explained Juan Carlos Ubero, who added that extra vigilance is in place at weekends on several roads in Tenerife which are used by the motorcyclists for their speed demonstrations.

Blackspots include one in Guía de Isora and another in Arafo, along with the road from La Esperanza to Mount Teide, which is becoming increasingly popular with bikers for Sunday excursions.

Terrafugia Transition

I

s it an aircraft, or is it a car?

Designed for personal air and land travel, the Terrafugia Transition allows you to land at the airport, fold up your wings and drive home.

As a car, it is rear wheel driven, easy to get in and out, seats two people side by side, the wings fold automatically, no trailer or hangar needed, just park it in your drive, and its cargo area can carry a set of golf clubs. As an aircraft, unfortunately if the weather is bad you’ll still have to drive it as a car, but otherwise, take advantage of its 100 hp Rotax 912S engine, modern glass avionics, and for your peace of mind.... lots of crash safety features and a full parachute. You’ll need a driving and a pilot’s licence, but part of the package if you buy one is a 20-hour pilot’s course. Due to be launched in 2011, reservations are now being taken via the Terrafugia website. More information www.terrafugia.com.

Boxing

By George Reed

Boxing stories – stranger than fiction

53

Megabowl Compiled by Doreen Lemm

10 pin bowling league results

F

or me the annals of the boxing ring are unparalleled in their appeal.

The saga of what has been called the ‘sour science’ at times achieves peaks of interest and excitement that are found in no other recreation or entertainment.

It’s a sport that attracts eccentrics and maybe you have to be a bit crazy to have anything to do with the game of fisticuffs. But not all the thrills are to be found in the padded ring, for it’s the side shows which often furnish the laughs, pathos, colour and the dream that makes boxing what it is.

One of the most unexpected and strangest events I ever witnessed happened at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas in 1993, outdoors. Evander Holyfield was attempting to regain the world heavyweight crown he had lost to Riddick Bowe the previous year, but not many fans gave him much of a chance against the heavier and harder puncher Bowe who was the red-hot betting favourite. However, by the end of the 6th round, the underdog, Holyfield, had jabbed his way to a clear points lead. Then as the two fighters were battling it out in the 7th round, with two minutes to go, thousands of fans’ eyes turned to the sky to see a parasailer descending, obviously intending to make an impressive entrance right into the ring.

However, the man’s parachute got entangled in a bank of ring lights.

Then, in what appeared to be slow motion, the man descended further in jerky movements and then became wrapped up in the ring ropes, struggling weakly to get free. By then the crowd was going berserk as the two fighters stopped fighting and looked on in astonishment.

Bowe’s manager had already had enough for one night due to his boxer’s performance and he dived on the still entrapped parasailer and was followed by Bowe’s corner men and a number of very angry fans baying for vengeance. Mobile phones appeared to be the handiest weapons as they laced into the victim. Unconscious, the parasailer was eventually rescued by security guards and sent to hospital. The fighters had 22 minutes rest during the episode and when they commenced boxing once again for the final six rounds, Holyfield boxed very cleverly keeping clear of Bowe’s big shots and regained his title on points.

However, it wasn’t the end of the night’s drama for as the bell rang to end the last round, the two boxers carried on knocking hell out of each other and as the referee tried to break them up, he walked on to a terrific punch thrown by Bowe.

Some say it was the best punch he delivered all night.

ee Billy Banes did it again at the Tenerife Lions Sur Fun Golf tournament recently.

Los Palos golf club saw 23 players once again enjoying a fun day out in aid of charity, sponsored on this occasion by Zippy’s Pizza in Costa del

Silencio. John Bedworth and Steve Jones came out overall winners, with Mick Croft and Julia Fleming in the runner up spot and Wee Billy Banes and his younger brother Wee Tony Banes in third place. The result of the ladies’ nearest the pin was announced as, “keep trying ladies”, but the gent’s prize went to Bernard Walsh. Boody prize winners were Sam Stitt and Derek S Reynolds.

All proceeds from these matches go to the many causes supported by the Tenerife Sur Lions Club.

African recruits

Cotonou benefits B

asketball clubs in the Canaries are turning to Africa in a bid to bolster their squads for this season thanks to the EU’s agreements with countries from the continent.

Although there is a cap on the number of nonEU players, who tend to be Americans, the socalled Cotonou agreement between the EU and scores of countries from Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific means that players with passports from those countries do not occupy a foreign berth.

Socas Canarias set the ball rolling with the signing of forward ‘Mac’ Koshwal, who was born in Sudan but has spent most of his life in Canada and the US. Koshwal, renowned for his rebounding, has signed direct from US College basketball although he played in the Summer League with NBA side Detroit Pistons. A few days later, La Palma announced they had signed Nigerian Dinma Odiakosa, also straight out of an American College (Illinois). The 24-yearold said he was delighted to get his first professional opportunity in Spain with the Canarian side.

Basketball

Tenerife takeover? ormer Tenerife coach Rafa Sanz predicts his former club will cease to exist in terms F of identity as a result of the controversial merger with their near neighbours.

Tenerife and Socas Canarias from La Laguna joined together to form a single club at the insistence of the island’s authorities, who were unwilling to subsidise two senior clubs any longer. The new side, called Isla de Tenerife Canarias, is based entirely on Socas

Canarias, including players and coaching staff. Sanz, who was in charge at Tenerife before moving on to La Palma last year, reckons that the hybrid will not find favour among the fans of Tenerife, however.

“They were left out of the process, which is a takeover rather than a merger. It should have been a longer project, not immediate, and it has alienated the fan base,” said Sanz, although he insisted that the club had no choice because it was doomed to disappear in any case.

The 22-year-old world record-holder at the distance had to appear before a disciplinary committee on the eve of the championships after missing a

Muñoz explained, with backing from a top psychologist, that he had entered a state of depression after underperforming at last year’s world championships in Rome and had stopped training for several months, during which time he did not notify FINA of his whereabouts for a test. FINA officials agreed to bend the rules to allow him to compete and he repaid their faith in him by winning his favourite event, although his time was well below his record.

An incredible feat at any level of football.

With so many of the Taylor’s team playing so well this season it’s hard to pick players to mention, yet big Tommy in defence has been rock solid, even scoring a few mazy run goals this season! Also striker Jordan has been a huge presence this season, his power and finishing has won more than a few games this season, not to mention captain John Parkes who despite being Soccer Experience’s biggest goal poacher this season also has scored some major important goals. This is not to say that the rest of the team haven’t played their part, each member of this Taylor’s side has been impressive all season.

Taylor’s have this season been by far the most organised side of the league showing planning and all the good work by the captain plays a huge part in the season as Taylor’s have found and have reaped the rewards.

With the new Masters season just around the corner, a few sides can’t wait for the new season to kick off. The Spartans will be joining us in the new season, a team who were with Soccer Experience a few seasons back, and will be one of the hot favourites, along with a strong Rovers side and an ever improving Spanish Style and Morfitt Properties now back to full strength, this Masters season could be one of the closest so far!

favourites. Also the Pub will yet again be looking to improve on their previous season as they have done once again in this one, with a terrific fifth place finish. The nearly boys Morfitt Rentals will be looking to go all the way this season after only just dropping away in the last few weeks.

who have now scored 70 goals in 11 games, look to be in unstoppable form and with some big games coming up couldn’t be more confident. Also Diamond FC finally showed some of the quality with the destruction of previous league leader Zurich. Spartans, Pepsi FC closed the gap at the top with a great performance against Cyril’s Creations having to bounce back from 1-0 down, even purposely scoring direct from the corner in true Venezuelan style!

Over 35s Summary: Shaine’s L.A. Veterans side wrapped up the league title this week convincingly with a win over the improving Taboos who themselves were on a six game undefeated run, yet the new champions were just too strong for them on the day running away with it. With only two games to go, sides throughout the over 35s are already planning for the season ahead with the emergence of a new side made up from Ironcraft and Exiles Bar looking to be one of the hot

has been huge amounts of talk and the transfers and brown envelopes are already being negotiated just maybe not quite for the fees some other leagues in the newspapers are reporting.

Teams looking for players: The new seasons ahead look to be very interesting with each team strengthening their squads it will surely be another enjoyable Soccer Experience for all.

A few of the slightly older guys in the over 35s league have asked us to make the following happen! They all really enjoy the over 35s but as some of them are approaching very slow motion football we have decided to arrange a once a week over 45s friendly game! So if any old playground stars want to get playing again and are young enough to play in an over 45s only game, please contact us as soon as possible to get the ice and cold spray ready! This friendly game will most likely be played on a Friday evening, Please contact us: If you have any interest in the adult or kids weekly soccer and / or the international tournament, call or sms: 654200470 or email: soccer@soccerexperience.com and many

Former Tenerife manager Victor Fernández has been headhunted by Japan to continue the national side’s emergence on the international football stage.

Veteran Fernández, who was in charge of Tenerife in the late 90s, was contacted by the Japanese FA in early August about taking over from the retired Takeshi Okada, who retired after the World Cup, and the signing was made public on 15 August.

His first game in charge is, ironically, against Paraguay on 4 September in Yokohoma.

Japan reached the last 16 in South Africa, losing on penalties to the Paraguayans after a goal-less draw. Japan then face Guatemala on 7 September in Osaka.

Cameroon international

Komé stands down

Tenerife’s Cameroon midfielder Daniel Komé has retired from international duty.

The likeable African revealed during the training camp in Campoamor that his performances last year for Tenerife were, “below his own standards and expectations” and he wanted to concentrate all his efforts on recapturing the form which made him a crowd favourite the previous season. Best remembered for scoring the goal that took Tenerife back to the 1st Division in May 2009, 30-year-old Komé has notified Cameroon that he does not want to be considered for internationals. He was sorely disappointed at being left out of the squad for the World Cup, at which Cameroon, tipped by some as a possible surprise package, lost all three of their group matches. The arrival of former Spain manager Javier Clemente as the new national coach looked certain to revive Komé’s international fortunes but he announced his decision within hours of Clemente being appointed.

Presentation match CD Tenerife

Friday 20th August CD Tenerife 2 Mallorca 0

Rugby

Sporting spirit

Tenerife kept up their impressive pre-season form with a convincing victory over La Liga side Real Mallorca.

The match was arranged as the official presentation game for CD Tenerife in the Heliodoro Stadium after friendlies in other parts of the island as well as mainland Spain.

After beating local sides CD Marino (0-4) and UD Ibarra (2-5) the blanquiazules took on Real Zaragoza and beat them 1-0. The next stage of the pre-season was located at the La Manga sports complex close to Murcia. Results were indifferent it must be said, but many changes were made to the team selection as new players were being brought in and youth players given trials.

After losing their first game 2-1 to a last minute penalty against Primera side UD Almeria, the blanquiazules followed with a 3-3 against 2nd B team Orihuela. A three way tournament of 45 minutes per game in Benidorm saw Tenerife lose 0-3 to Real Betis and draw 2-2 with Benidorm.

Despite the attacking riches Tenerife enjoy, it was clear that the defensive heart of the team needed reinforcing and the signing of Real Betis centre half ‘Melli’ soon followed.

He showed in his first run out against Mallorca that he will command the defence with another new signing David Prieto from Sevilla fitting in well beside him.

Tenerife really have made some great signings this summer and all at zero cost. Very little money has exchanged clubs in the Spanish 2nd division this summer and most clubs attract the better players through their ambition and ability to pay the higher wages. It remains to be seen whether this squad can live up to the hype but many pundits suggest that this team is better than last season’s (and that

was in the Primera). Obviously that makes for uncomfortable reading for many fans as perhaps if we had strengthened this time last year we probably would have not been relegated in the first place! Bookies make Real Betis dead certs for promotion this season, followed by Tenerife, Valladolid and Elche.

At the presentation match against Michael Ladrup’s Mallorca, new signing Natalio gave Tenerife the lead just before half time with a spectacular overhead kick. Hidalgo looked good in midfield, buzzing around the pitch in his hunched style and young winger Omar was causing problems down the flanks.

Keeper Luis Garcia, in for the injured Aragoneses, played with confidence between the sticks and Nino as always ran around like he was playing in the World Cup Final. Mallorca were recently, “kicked out of Europe” for financial reasons and their place was given to Villarreal, who finished seventh last season. The decision

was made due to the fact that they have debts close to €70 million, and that’s not allowed under UEFA’s rules. Mallorca replied that they have further investment coming in that will help reduce these debts, but Platini’s men were not to be denied. Cruelly Mallorca narrowly missed out on a Champions League spot in the very last minute of last season.

The match had a nice flow and intensity considering that it was a friendly and both sides had chances to score. Nino secured the win for Tenerife with a typical poachers goal midway through the second half to make the score 2-0 and thereafter a raft of substitutions was made by both teams.

Season ticket sales have been steady after a sluggish start at the Club with 10,000 now sold. Supporters have until the first home match to renew the pass so that figure is expected to rise to 12,000 which will be a record in the 2nd division for CD Tenerife.

hope the media and fans give the team time to settle into life back in the 2nd Division.

Along with Real Betis we are the team to beat this season but the blanquiazules have rarely been good travellers and the away form could well be the deciding factor.

Founded by a group of parents and veteran players, the club wants to teach the sport through schools and offer parents, children and youths in general the possibility to integrate and get to know a different sport, an alternative activity that has always been distinguished for its human values and team spirit.

Rhino welcomes everybody and nobody feels left out, fat or thin, tall or short, fast or slow, they can all play rugby, nobody is excluded or better than anyone else. Within the team we are all friends who share the training sessions, the joy of winning, the sour taste of losing and the after-match exhilaration and come down. Above all the idea is not only that the youngsters should become good rugby players, but that they should become good people.

Tenerife Sur

Warming up

This was the first warm up game for the newly built Sur with new player/manager Darren Chamberlain trying to build a team that is going to challenge for the league and cup double.

With their new formation of 3-1-4-1-1 and a packed squad full of quality they set off the first half against top division side Bar Antonio with impressive style controlling all of the game. Striker Jordan Stoddart put their first chance just wide and after that there were another three or four chances, but Sur couldn’t break the deadlock until a slight mistake in defence by Jaime Martín let Bar Antonio break and with their first shot on target, score.

After a few changes at half time and going back to 4-42 Sur started to press for the equaliser which came when Steve Tomblin crashed into the box and Sur was awarded a penalty. Gavin Harris coolly slotted in. Then off came Chamberlain and Stoddart up front for the now fresh Rob and Joel and the floodgates opened. Two goals from Rob Richmond and another from Gavin Harris for a final score of 4-1. It was left late by the Sur but because of the strength and depth of the squad they were able to wear the hard working Bar Antonio down. Man of the match went to hard working Joel Mortimer and Tenerife Sur would also like to thank Paul Stokes of Clearblue Skies for all his time and the effort that he has put into organising this club.
