Double death

Island tragedy

The badly decomposed bodies of a Glaswegian couple were removed from their home on September 20.

ames (Jimmy) Mutch and Beatrice Sallens had lived in their apartment in the Los Cardones complex in Playa de las Américas for over five years and were considered by neighbours to be a quiet and courteous couple who were devoted to each other.

Local sources say that 57 year old Jimmy and his 69 year old partner had been together for over three decades. Neighbours noticed a bad smell and alerted the caretaker who spotted Mrs Sallens’ body. The police and fire brigade were called, forced an entry and they found Mr Mutch’s body on the living room floor with a bad head injury. There were no obvious signs of a struggle and the police’s initial theory is that Mr Mutch fell and struck his head a fatal blow and that his partner then died of shock or took her own life. A close friend of Beatrice’s told us that she had been withdrawn after the death of her mother two years ago. Local rumours indicated that Mr Mutch had a terminal illness, but reports from his family in the British press claim that he was in good health. Initial results from the autopsy confirm that there were no signs of violence, but that Mr Mutch had a chronic asthmatic condition, according to the local paper, El Día. At the time of going to print full autopsy results were unavailable.

they were to be here (there are more Canarian stores in the offing) and that the fact the customers keep coming back was one of the most important indicators of this very international success story. Primark has continued to buck the recession trend and has been opening new outlets across Europe, especially in Spain, in recent years, and shoppers here in the Canary Islands hope that this store opening in Gran Canaria is just the first of many. Although Primark, or Penneys as it is known in Ireland, where the company continues to have its home base since its creation in 1969, has a reputation for offering cut-price items of clothing, the com-

pany has opened stores in upmarket locations, both in Ireland, the UK and in Spain. And Spain continues to appear to be the focus for the brand’s international wing, with this shop bringing the number of Spanish stores to 17, with other shops now open in Holland, Portugal, Germany and Belgium. While the stock is geared mainly at the younger end of the market, the low prices appeal to everyone, and though in previous years Penneys and Primark might not have been considered ‘in’ places to shop, that has changed with many famous faces happy, it would seem, to wear Primark knickers. Reportedly when Coleen Rooney admitted to wearing Primark pyjamas there was an immediate rush in branches across the UK. Unlike many UK and Irish chain stores, Primark do not seem to need to rely on the ex-pat market for survival abroad, and have previously stated that they “want to learn” from the Spanish experience, and follow and adapt to Spanish shopping trends quickly. Their success would appear to be their low prices combined with a relatively quick stock turnover, and a pleasant ‘shopping experience’ which may be missing in other stores.

Radar fines

DGT under fire

According to the Spanish drivers’ association, the AEA, since the coming into force of the new traffic fines for speeding in May of this year, thousands of motorists have been fined up to three times more than they should have been.

he association states that new fines issued by the national department of traffic, the DGT, which regulates the radar machines on roads throughout the country, are being applied without consideration for the “margins of error” which, by law, need to be taken into consideration. The AEA says that by law a four per cent margin of error has to be applied to fixed radar posts and that increases to seven per cent in the case of mobile equipment. So, they say, a mobile radar that clocks a car travelling at 155 km/h in a 120 km/h zone could be over 10 km out in its reckoning. This could then mean the difference between a €100 fine or a €300 fine and a loss of two points on the driver’s licence.

he association claims that since the law was introduced on May 24th up to 100,000 fines have been incorrectly imposed on drivers throughout the country. They further advise drivers who feel that they have been fined in error that they have initially only a 20 day period to make an appeal, whether they have paid the fine or not. However a formal appeal against any case can be made within the period of a year.

Garzón reacts

Superjudge slams persecution Spain’s best known judge has accused colleagues and the authorities of launching a personal vendetta against him due to his popularity and his reputation for taking on sensitive cases. Judge Baltasar Garzón, who visited Tenerife to open the Adeje Summer University in July, was reacting to the news that the Supreme Court has ordered his finances to be investigated following fresh allegations that he was paid substantial sums by a leading Spanish bank and other sponsors of a university course he helped organised in New York a few years ago while on sabbatical leave. Garzón is then said to have ordered the dropping of an investigation into the chairman of the sponsoring bank (Santander) without declaring a conflict of interests beforehand. The Supreme Court wants his bank accounts and tax returns scrutinised to identify all income other than his judge’s salary around the period of the New York course. “They could have asked me directly for the details and I would have obliged. There is no need for a formal court order, except if the aim is to blacken my name” said Garzón, who was suspended earlier this year for overstepping his jurisdiction by launching an investigation into killings during the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) and the Franco regime despite the official amnesty that drew a line under events of the era. The judge was in Adeje in the summer at the opening of the Summer University

Thomas Cook row

Government intervention The Spanish government has taken up the fight by hotels throughout the country, including many in the Canaries, to prevent Thomas Cook from applying a unilateral discount of five per cent on bills payable for accommodation for its holiday clients.

Christopher Chittock has now appeared before a judge in Gran Canaria

he boyfriend of a young English woman who was murdered while on holiday in Gran Canaria has been extradited to Spain after the UK authorities agreed to drop lesser charges against him to expedite the extradition request. Christopher Chittock, 36, an engineer from Suffolk, appeared before a judge in San Bartolomé de Tirajana less than a day after being flown under heavy police

guard from London. He was refused bail and remanded to Gran Canaria prison after being notified that he is a formal suspect in connection with the brutal killing of his girlfriend Sarah Shields, whose body was found floating in the water on 7 July off the coast at Mogán, where the couple were spending a fortnight’s holiday. Chittock was initially arrested on 11 July after returning to England without Sarah when police discovered that text messages were sent by the separated father-of-one in the days following her death to give the impression she was still alive. He was charged with perverting the course of justice and remanded in custody but the charge has now been discontinued by Suffolk police after Spanish police issued a European Arrest Warrant for him in August for 23-year-old Sarah’s murder. Sarah’s parents, Angela and David Shields, of Ramsgate Drive

Ipswich, said they are a step closer to being able to bring their daughter’s body home and lay her to rest. Now that Chittock has arrived in Spain and his defence team will have the chance to carry out their own post mortem, Sarah’s body should be freed by the Spanish authorities, allowing her family to repatriate her. Speaking to Ipswich daily the Evening Star, Mrs Shields said: “I know it won’t bring her back, but it will bring her home to us. I am glad it is all happening now, we are a step nearer to bringing her home”. Sarah’s older brother, Paul Davis, added: “It has been a living hell for us. It is hard to put it into words. We feel in limbo, it is difficult to concentrate on work, life, ever ything. Having him extradited brings us one stage closer to being able to bring her home, lay her to rest and grieve for her. It hasn’t really sunk in properly yet. Maybe when we can have her funeral and say our goodbyes, maybe then it will feel real.”

he UK tour giant triggered a furious reaction when it announced recently that the effects of the Icelandic ash cloud back in April had forced it to recoup losses by holding back five per cent on payments outstanding to the hotels and apartment complexes it uses for package holidays. The various hotel organisations in the Canaries have joined forces to pressure Thomas Cook into a climb down and have called on the competition authorities to see whether the imposed cut is an abuse of the operator’s dominant market position. The matter has been taken up formally by Spain’s tourism chief Juan Mesquida.

Who’s in charge?

General’s wife sparks patch war D

angerous driving by the wife of a Spanish army general earlier this summer led to a fullscale turf war between the National Police and the Civil Guard in Gran Canaria, it has been revealed.

The woman, a teacher at a top private school in Las Palmas and wife of the commanding officer of the Canarian Infantry Brigade, was taken in for questioning by police after she was intercepted while driving for more than two kilometres in the wrong direction along a busy dual carriageway. Police were alerted by an offduty inspector who had to swerve to avoid the oncoming vehicle, which almost collided with three other cars on the road. The woman tried to do a U-turn in her Audi A6 to leave

The row has highlighted the terroritial dispute between the Civil Guard and the police

the scene but was blocked by several drivers. According to newspaper reports at the time, she phoned her husband and within minutes a Lt Colonel in uniform appeared and tried to persuade the drivers to let her go but by then a Civil Guard traffic branch patrol arrived and proceeded to issue a minor summons. Meanwhile,

the off-duty inspector had called a National Police patrol which arrived shortly afterwards and, after hearing witnesses and deciding a criminal offence had been committed, took the general’s wife in for questioning. It has now emerged that almost 20 irate phone calls were made by the general’s staff to the po-

Thomas Cook decision

Hotel fury H

otels throughout the Canaries say they will take holiday giant Thomas Cook to court if it goes ahead with plans to unilaterally deduct five per cent from accommodation bills it has still to settle on the islands.

The tour operator informed hotels across Spain earlier in September that it “needed to offset losses” sustained during the ash cloud crisis last spring and had decided to withhold five per cent from all payments and also from all new hotel bookings made until 31 October. The measure has been greeted with disbelief in Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, where hotels used by Thomas Cook for its holiday packages say they were informed of the decision by telephone but not in writing. “There has been no consultation on this at all. They are abusing their dominant market position as a vital client of the islands’ tourism industry and we intend to take this up with the government. We do not rule out legal action to recoup any money withheld unilaterally” said a source at Lanzarote’s influential hoteliers’ association, ASOLAN. Initial estimates calculate the potential revenue shortfall in the Canaries to be around six million euros. It is believed the various hotelier umbrella groups are in contact with their counterparts in other parts of the country to organise a united front against the Thomas Cook move.

One of La Palma’s bestknown hotels has been forced to close its doors following a repossession order issued by a local bank. The 98-room Hotel Marítimo in Santa Cruz was given just a few days to clear guests out and hand over the keys to the bank in compliance with a court order. As the deadline of 16 September approached, staff worked frantically to contact individual clients and tour operators who had booked stays to tell them they would have to make alternative arrangements. “It has been very distressing” said the manager, “we asked for more time to do things properly but were turned down. The CajaCanarias bank has been very insistent that it wanted the keys immediately due to the mortgage debt that has built up”. According to local media, the Catalan company that owns the building, which has operated as a three-star hotel for 22 years in the town, defaulted on the mortgage and was €90,000 in arrears.

lice station and that two senior Civil Guards subsequently burst into the interview room to prevent further questioning, alleging that the police had no traffic powers. Although the woman admitted the offence in court and received a suspended four-month sentence, she has reportedly launched legal action for unlawful arrest against the inspector and other officers involved. The case has made the headlines both here and in the rest of Spain as full details have now emerged of the tense territorial dispute between the Civil Guard and the police. The revelations have led to calls by politicians for a full and public inquiry into the role played by the general in the conflict. A confidential report by a government lawyer is believed to have concluded that the police acted within their powers in arresting the driver, although the findings are disputed by the head of the Civil Guard here, who wrote to his police counterpart.

El-Ayun

Flotilla plans continue

Plans to organise a flotilla of boats to sail from the Canaries to the Western Sahara to support the former Spanish colony’s 35year bid for independence from Morocco are gathering pace despite intense diplomatic pressure from Madrid and Rabat. The flotilla, along the lines of the aid-carrying boats that tried to reach Gaza a few months ago but were halted through force by the Israeli Navy, is due to depart from Las Palmas in November, coinciding with the first anniversary of the hunger strike last year by Saharan activist Aminatou Haidar in Lanzarote. Several well-known leftwing celebrities, including actor Willy Toledo, have expressed their support and may travel on one of the boats to draw media attention for the initiative. Spain is concerned at the possible consequences of armed interception by the Moroccan Navy of the boats, which will sail under Spanish flags. It is thought major diplomatic efforts are under way behind the scenes to persuade the organisers not to set sail for El Ayun, the administrative capital of the Western Sahara.

One stop business shop

The Cabildo has allocated funding for a one-stop shop for businesses. Based in Santa Cruz, in the province’s chamber of commerce, the office will assist people who wish to open a business in Tenerife, help with ideas and bureaucratic red tape. The service is co-sponsored by the regional government among others. According to economic development councillor Efrain Medina, the service is currently a pioneering one in Spain, and good results from companies using the service will help develop similar initiatives which in turn will promote new businesses.

Tales and cocktails

The Ibero American Museum of Craft in La Orotava stages the fourth of its special occasions to make the museum more active and attractive on October 1. Previous events were the Night of Carpets, the Night of Music and the Night of the Museums. On this occasion, it is a Night of Storytelling and the funds raised are to go to a charity. The evening will begin with a cocktail in the museum followed by storytelling and a musical activity.

Heaven scent?

To get to the bottom line, so to speak, drains should be seen and neither heard nor smelt, which is why Guía de Isora council was delighted to receive financial assistance towards upgrading their city centre facilities. The project was part of the Cabildo’s 2007-2010 plan to help local councils improve their installations and the island council chipped in with a whopping €611,095.76 towards the total cost. Work in the Calles Tagoro, Caónigo, Sebastián Afonso, de Abajo and Calle del Ayuntamiento started last year and has now been completed. The local water supply in the area has been improved as part of the work, a better rain run-off system installed and pavements etc. renewed. Calle Salvador Allende now has drains, water supply and underground cabling for electricity, telephone connections and street lighting. The island councillor for municipal cooperation, Félix Sierra joined local councillors and officials on a short tour of the area before handing over the finished project. It’s to be hoped he didn’t find the event too draining.

Sticky business

The Cabildo President, Ricardo Melchior, was joined by the head of the post office for Santa Cruz de Tenerife province, Carlos Javier de las Heras, the general director for environmental quality at the Canary Islands Government, Emilio Atienzar and the mayor of La Orotava, Isaac Valencia, for the presentation of a new stamp featuring the Teide National Park. The stamp is one of a new series of 12 that has just been released depicting different protected areas around the country. Teide National Park is the highest national park in Spain and was classed as a national park in January 1954. It was the second natural area in Spain to be declared a National Park after Ordesa and Monte Perdido, is the most popular National Park in Europe and the second most popular in the world. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2007.

Canarian force

By Matthew Vickers, British Consul, Canary Islands

Police get pay rise

Useful information from the British Consulate

Officers in the new Canarian police force have been awarded a pay rise just months into the job, but the reasoning behind the increase has led to some confusion.

Back to work…

hough many of you are enjoying a well-deserved and relaxing retirement in Spain, I can’t be the only one still at the grindstone.

Now, there are some obvious differences between working in the UK and here in Spain, like the views from our office windows and the absence of M&S sandwiches for lunch, but something else to bear in mind is the difference in social security systems. Paying social security (what we call National Insurance in the UK) contributions when you are working in Spain is important as it builds up your entitlement to a pension and certain benefits. Also, as Spain operates a contributions-based healthcare system, paying social security means that you, and any dependants, are covered for medical treatment. The Tesorería General de la Seguridad Social (TGSS) is the organisation which registers employers and workers and collects social security contributions. Our equivalent in the UK would be HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). If you’re working here, you should be registered with the TGSS. They’ll register you

on the system, give you a social security number, collect your contributions and be able to provide a personal social security record (called a ‘vida laboral’ in Spanish). When you start a job, your employer should arrange all of this through the TGSS. It’s always worth having a chat with your boss to see how contributions are being paid, and whether they can give you any confirmation. If you’re working as your own boss, you’ll need to register directly with the TGSS as self-employed (‘autónomo’ in Spanish) and pay contributions to them. As a self-employed person, it’s really important to deregister with the TGSS as soon as you finish work, because they won’t be automatically informed and will continue to bill you for contributions. If you don’t want to build up a pile of debt, make sure you let them know you’re no longer working. As I mentioned, paying into the Spanish system as a worker may give you the right to some Spanish benefits, e.g. sickness or family benefits. When applying through the Spanish system (they should always be your first point of contact), do so in writing and mention on your application any work you

have done in other EEA countries, including the UK. If you haven’t worked long enough here, work elsewhere might be taken into account so that you meet the minimum requirements. Also, don’t forget to mention any dependants you have, such as children or a spouse, as this may increase how much you’re allowed. At the moment, unemployment benefits aren’t available to self-employed workers, but signing on at the INEM office (the Spanish equivalent to the Job Centre) may give you the right to some support after a year. In terms of pensions, you could have the right to a Spanish state pension as long as you have worked for a total 15 years in Spain and another EEA country. Again, applications should be giv-

he regional government announced the rise, averaging €208 per month, earlier in September and said it was due to an ‘oversight’ detected in the method used to calculate the pay scales. However, other sources cited in the Canarian media say the rise was rushed in hastily after a sizeable number of serving officers threatened to re-apply for jobs in their previous forces (particularly the Las Palmas local police and the Civil Guard) due to the pay differential.

t is thought the pressure came originally from the first batch of officers recruited for the controversial new regional force. According to union sources, many vowed to resign and seek reinstatement in their old forces, which had ‘lent’ them permanently to the Canarian police, in the autumn unless the demand was met. A mass exodus would have created serious problems because the first intake of junior officers who graduated from training in the summer must work under the supervision of senior colleagues until their probation is completed.

Canteen crisis

School lunch row escalates P

arents at various Tenerife schools which have had the number of allocated canteen places cut this year have stepped up their campaign to have the decision reversed by the Department of Education.

As occurs every September, several primary schools learn that ancillary staff cuts – and in some cases poor forward planning by the authorities –mean they have to limit the number of canteen places, obliging them to inform parents that their children have been excluded from the list. Two of the schools affected took imaginative steps to draw media attention to the problem. Parents at the Las

Mercedes Primary School in La Laguna organised lunches for their children at the school gates and said they would continue to do so until extra places were secured. In La Matanza, parents of 30 children affected by the problem did likewise and, after an unsuccessful meeting with Education officials, then opted to feed the youngsters at the front door of the Department’s headquarters in Santa Cruz, inviting other parents in a similar predicament to do the same. In Adeje the councillor for education, Epifanio Díaz Hernández, joined parents protesting outside the school in Tijoco Bajo where 27 places have been withdrawn. Here too

parents were feeding their children at the door of the school to highlight the situation. “Adeje council are here to support the initiative of the parents of pupils in CEIP Tijoco Bajo”, he said. As pressure mounted for a rethink, the Depar tment insisted that school canteens “were not an obligation” and could be funded only where resources were available. The parents say they offered to pay to hire the extra staff needed but the offer was rejected. One solution being considered is the use of outside catering to cover the extra places needed, rather than increase the number of staff needed.

The company had hoped to place over 100,000 square metres of cages a short distance from the coast but its request was turned down by the Canarian government several years ago due to the lack of an impact study. The firm, which argued that the study was unnecessary, took legal action to have the decision reversed and to be awarded compensation for lost earnings. However, both the Canarian High Court and, now, Spain’s Supreme Court have upheld the refusal.

Casa Cuna

Children’s home hit by fresh allegations A

Santa Cruz children’s home is at the centre of another major controversy just months after a headline-hitting sex scandal involving alleged abuse of vulnerable youngsters by a senior carer over many years. Local media reports now say the Cabildo-run ‘Casa Cuna’ may have operated an illegal adoption service when it was

under previous ownership and known as the Holy Family Children’s Home. The claims have been made by the head of an association set up to help victims of child sex abuse. Antonio Toscano says the adoptions were well known by everyone but nothing was done to stop them. The allegations have focused the spotlight once more on the home, where up to a hundred young-

sters are thought to have been abused by a carer. Victims have renewed calls to have the alleged abuser remanded in prison until his trial, for which a date has not yet been fixed. “It is ludicrous that he should be allowed to walk the streets freely with nothing more than a restraining order banning him from contact with his victims” said one former resident of the Casa Cuna.

Health Service cleared

Aitana leak inquiry

n inquir y by Spain’s data protection watchdog has exonerated doctors at a Tenerife health centre and one of the island’s main hospitals from blame over the leaking of details to the media concerning the death of an Arona youngster said to have been sexually abused by her stepfather. The case, which hit the national headlines last November, was sparked when police arrested the stepfather as a result of suspicions reported by doctors who examined the toddler in the El Mojón health centre and, a few days later, in the Candelaria Hospital. Diego Pastrana suffered extensive me-

dia lynching after it was alleged he had raped his stepdaughter, who died from massive internal bleeding. However, it later emerged that the injuries had been caused by a fall from a swing and he had personally taken the girl for treatment, although the seriousness of her condition was not identified by doctors. During the days which followed her admission to hospital, various stories appeared in the media detailing Aitana’s injuries and stressing the abuse hypothesis. On his release, Pastrana launched proceedings against the Department of Health as the employer of the doctors but a parallel investigation

appears to point to a source in the Arona court that handled the case initially. According to the data protection agency, some of the details that were splashed across the front pages

A media frenzy followed the tragic death of the young girl

appeared only in court documents, which would exonerate the doctors and their employer from involvement.

General strike

Unions confident on strike C

anarian branches of the national trade unions that have called a general strike for the end of the month are confident the action will receive widespread backing. Despite media predictions that the day of action on 29 September could prove a major flop, the unions say they expect between 60-70 per cent of workers to stay away from their jobs. “Consultations of branches over the last few weeks are showing that workers in all sectors, including civil servants, are not simply resigned to the effects of the government’s labour market reforms and unilateral public sector wage cuts to resolve the crisis. Workers are keen to voice their opposition by taking to the streets” said a spokesman for one of the two big unions, UGT. However, the Spanish government is equally confident

the strike will fail and could even prove crucial to breaking the power of the unions. A government source said “people no longer feel represented by the militant actions of unions and 29 September could make that message clear once and for all”, adding that the recent staging in Madrid of a mass meeting of

12,000 union reps from all over the country to push home the strike message indicated that the unions were worried at the prospects of a flop. In the Canaries, fears have been voiced repeatedly at the possible repercussions of the general strike on the holiday sector.

North Airport

What’s in a name?

La Laguna mayor Fernando Clavijo has launched a campaign to have the city’s name given to Tenerife North Airport. Speaking on local radio, Clavijo said the airport’s old name ‘Los Rodeos’ is still widely used by many and a way to avoid the ‘confusion’ would be to call it La Laguna Airport. Exploratory discussions are thought to be under way with Madrid and the Spanish Airports Authority to consider the viability of the name change, although the reception so far has been lukewarm, according to sources. La Laguna council believes the change would not only be formal recognition of the actual location of the airport but would reflect the status of the city, which has a population of over 100,000. A few years ago an attempt to have the airport named after Spain’s heir to the throne, the Prince of Asturias, and his wife failed to secure political support.

Dunia Álvaro

Top job choice draws criticism Canarian tourism minister Rita Martín’s choice of a new senior official to take charge of promoting the islands as holiday destinations has run into trouble before the person in question has managed to find her feet in office. Martín appointed Dunia Álvaro, from Fuerteventura, as the new Director General for Tourism Promotion in her ministry but the appointment has led to a flurry of criticism by influential sectors of the industry, including virtually all the hoteliers’ bodies in the Canaries. “Martín has once again shown she has no idea of what she is doing. Giving one of the most important posts in the min-

Dunia Álvaro, the newly appointed DG for regional tourism promotions

istry to someone who until now was a member of the local police force in Pájara and has no experience in the tourism sector whatsoever is the last straw” said one leading hotelier. Undeterred, Martín urged critics to give the new DG “the benefit of the doubt” and allow her to show what she can do in the job. For her part, Álvaro admitted at her inaugural press conference that she had “little experience in tourism except for a short time working in a hotel in Fuerteventura”.

Spanair flight delay Fernando Torres Baena

Court upholds ‘Karate Case’

A bid by the karate school owner facing over 50 charges of child sex abuse to be bailed pending trial has been rejected by the Criminal Court in Las Palmas. Fernando Torres Baena, who is said to have forced pupils at the prestigious school to engage in sex acts with adults over a period of more than 15 years, appealed against the decision to remand him to Salto del Negro jail when he was arrested back in March. The sordid case, the biggest child sex scandal in Spain’s recent history, has featured prominently in the national media since the spring and Baena’s lawyer says he has already been judged by the public before he has had a chance to defend himself in court. Baena filed a bail application at the end of August but a panel of judges has ruled that he might try and flee the country due to the seriousness of the charges against him. Three other instructors at the karate school, including Baena’s girlfriend, are also due to stand trial over the alleged abuse.

Passenger fury at plane problem T

enerife bound passengers on Spanair flight JK 5092 from Madrid on Sunday September 12th were subjected to an hour long delay as mechanics fixed their plane - in the end many decided not to fly. The flight was due to depart from Madrid at 10.15am on Sunday but there were mechanical problems reported. Passengers were given irregular updates by Spanair staff, but could see mechanics working on parts of their plane through the departure lounge windows. According to Chris Todd, who was scheduled to be on the flight, one intending passenger commented, “either the mechan-

ics are really stupid or the plane has a very serious problem”, a sentiment aired by loads of passengers who at one stage marched, en masse, to the Spanair desk and demanded a new plane. Too many were thinking of the tragedy that befell passengers on a Spanair flight to Las Palmas just over two years ago, which crashed just after take off following reported mechanical problems with a huge loss of life. In the end the captain arrived to reassure passengers that the plane was safe to fly. However some, including Chris, decided not to fly with that particular plane, even though there was no other flight to Tenerife scheduled. He and others opted to stay in Madrid and look for alternative flights the following day, and given the length of the delay, were assured by Spanair staff in Madrid, Demolition threat that they would be entitled to their money back.

Igueste plays ‘guanche’ card

Playground improvements

Fun for all

The small coastal village of Igueste de San Andrés is hoping its native past may earn it a reprieve from the latest demolition hit-list issued by the Spanish environment authorities.

Conmen

ith funding from the Plan E 2010, accessibility section, the San Miguel de Abona council has announced a series of upgrades to playgrounds in the borough, at a cost of approximately €20,000.

Tenerife businesses have been warned to be on the alert for bogus health and safety inspectors who turn up unannounced and order the owner to change signage and other items such as fire extinguishers. The fake inspectors tour the premises pointing out alleged breaches of regulations, such as the wrong size for No Smoking signs or fire exits. In some cases they invoice staff for the visit and/ or charge for replacing the offending signs with ‘proper’ ones. The scam was uncovered after a Santa Cruz business contacted the authorities to query the visit by an inspector who presented a suspicious ID card. A shop in the Tenerife capital also brought the matter to the police after his accountant pointed out blatant flaws in the invoice issued. Police and the Department of Employment and Social Security have urged businesses to be on their guard and report any suspicious visits. “Anyone offering ID with a Canarian logo or flag and saying they are H&S inspectors is bogus because all inspectors work for the State, not the regional authorities” said a DESS spokesman, adding that bona fide inspectors “never charge for visits to the workplace”.

The funding should see new equipment and infrastructures installed in 10 children’s parks in the zone. According to councillors Juan José Casanova and Vitelio Delgado, “with these upgrades we’re not just working to improve access and security in the playgrounds in the borough, but we hope that as a result of the improvements San Miguel will become one of the first boroughs in Tenerife to comply with European security norms in designated play areas.” These are designed to guarantee, among other things, that children playing within the zones are protected from external risks, are at a reduced risk of hurting themselves as a result of bumps and falls, that equipment has been tested and carries an approved

Tenerife website scores big in UK A

Tenerife based website extolling the many virtues of the island was recently chosen as the Daily Mail’s website of the week. Tenerife.mydestinationinfo.com, which is run by ex-Island Connections journalist and book author Joe Cawley was chosen as an excellent alternative to traditional guide books on the island

by the paper, giving “good, detailed coverage: resort summaries, thorough hotel and restaurant reviews, recommendations for spas, what to do if it rains - pretty much everything you’d find in a guidebook.” The article’s author said he particularly appreciated “the interactive events calendar, which told me that if I was heading out to Tenerife in the

next few weeks that I would coincide with a re-enactment of the harvesting of cochineal in Buzanada, and the Fiestas del Cristo in La Laguna, with beauty contests and flower battles”, adding, “you don’t get that in a guidebook”. The Mydestinationinfo.com, franchise is run by experts who live in the destinations they write about.

ike their counterparts in Cho Vito (Candelaria), locals have received formal notification from the Dept. of Coasts that their homes are in breach of legislation because they stand less than 100 metres from the shore. Faced with the very real prospect of demolition, the homeowners have launched a campaign to demonstrate to Madrid that Igueste played an important role in Tenerife’s past history, an argument they hope will spare the current cluster of homes from the chop.

he head of the residents’ association, José María Alber to, says evidence points to the existence of a native ‘guanche’ population in Igueste back in the 15th century and the village used to be much bigger than it is today. Up to 50 per cent of homes are under threat of demolition under the strict application of the Law on Coasts, which was passed back in 1988 but is now only really being enforced, particularly in the Canaries. If the locals can prove Igueste was more than just an isolated group of dwellings, they might have a chance of a reprieve, although it is by no means certain.

What’s in a name

Confusion – or incompetence David Chadwick, Palm Mar resident

hile the majority of the world now cor responds via their computer, with emails taking over from snail mail in all but the most mundane of correspondence, there are still occasions when a letter must be sent (think bills, rates demands, bank statements) and of course it’s vital that the sender has the correct address for the recipient. And mail apart, making sure your address is properly registered is always important. David Chadwick is a bit fed up though. He called into the office of Island Connections with his very valid gripe about the difficulty he has experienced over the years in getting his

address, in Palm Mar, properly registered. He told us, “in the seven years I have lived in Palm Mar I have become used to going into a shop and being asked for my address and carefully saying, ‘Palm Mar’, only for the person to write down ‘El Palmar’, and even after trying to explain the difference for the shop assistant to persist in writing the wrong thing”.

the new house number which was written in, presumably by the person delivering the letters. This was then followed by the printed area name, El Palmar and the post code 38632, which is correct for Palm Mar!” No wonder it’s confusing if even the official post office and carriers can’t get it right?

Just to clarify the position, Palm Mar is an urban development on the coast of Arona, across the bay from Los Cristianos. It is well signposted in the area. El Palmar is in Buenavista del Norte. Not the same place!

David adds that the whole mess is further confused by giant corporations like Telefoníca, for example, apparently refusing to take note of the Palm Mar listing and correct post code because their computers won’t recognise (bring back flesh and blood interface operators – or humans to you and me). Movistar, he says, have now got the post code correctly listed, but the name Palm Mar is still written incorrectly.

David told us that recently Arona council decided to change some of the street names and house numbers in Palm Mar. As part of the process Correos (the post office) decided they must deliver a letter to each house telling them what their new address was to be and that residents had to inform people of the change. “The letter came from an office in Santa Cruz and consisted of a printed street name (which in my case was unchanged) and

Not to malign the people who have the unenviable task of delivering the letters, David says “I know that the local postmen perform miracles on some occasions to deliver badly addressed letters”, but adds, “perhaps if the postmen dumped the badly addressed letters including the one from Correos, on the desk and chair of their bosses so they had nowhere to work” they, and other large organisations, might become more organised”.

Belt tightening

Carnaval cutbacks Groups such as Murgas singing groups can expect less financial aid

Next year’s ‘Carnaval’ in Santa Cruz will feel the full effects of the austerity measures imposed to get through the economic crisis. As plans get under way for the annual event, it has emerged that an initial

commitment not to cut funding to carnaval groups and associations will not now be observed. According to the La Opinión daily newspaper, meetings have already been held with the biggest groups (dancers, singers etc) to tell them to expect a lot less

financial help this time round. The overall carnaval budget has been slashed to €2.5 million, a third of the amount spent by the council in 2008 on the celebrations, and much of that will go on the hire of the Exhibition Centre for a month. Prize-money for the major competitions is almost certain to be hit, as will the catering service normally laid on for participants on the big nights of the weeks long event. “We don’t know where else to implement cuts to keep to our budget and we only hope the carnaval groups will understand the situation’ said a spokesperson for the council’s Festivities Unit.

At the same time as the beach creation, the company will create a maritime walkway.

According to local daily Diario de Avisos, the alcalde of Santiago del Teide, Juan Damián Gorrín, recently stated that the municipality of Santiago del Teide had the lowest unemployment rate in Tenerife, and had experienced the second best reduction in unemployment in all the Canaries, with the best reports coming from Valle Gran Rey in La Gomera. Gorrín said that actually, unemployment was now at 10 per cent, whereas before the economic crisis it was situated at seven per cent. Gorrín also pointed out that the district was enjoying good levels of hotel accommodation, although smaller businesses were suffering the consequences of the hotels offering all-inclusive packages.

climate change and agriculture

Wheat shortage puts pressure on food inflation By Bill Blevins, Financial Correspondent, Blevins Franks

he ban on Russian wheat exports pushed the spotlight back onto world food prices. This is an example of how volatile food prices can be and it focuses the mind on the future price of food and the effect this will have on inflation.

After the worst drought for 130 years and the following wildfires destroyed one-fifth of the farmland, Russia, the world’s third largest wheat expor ter last year, banned exports of wheat, corn, barley, rye and grain products until the end of the year to protect the domestic market. At the beginning of September it extended the ban by a year, until after next year’s harvest. In August the price of wheat hit a two year high, and it is up over 50 per cent since May. International food prices rose five per cent between July and

August. Climate change is one of the main reasons for crop failure and if severe weather conditions continue, growing cereals in agriculture producing countries will be further threatened. There have already been adverse weather conditions for grains in Canada and the Middle East. This is having the knock-on effect of increasing meat prices because animal feed costs more. Weather conditions, along with soaring demand, have pushed meat prices up 16 per cent on last year to the highest level since 1990. The growing middle class in developing countries is eating more meat, as well as processed foods (which generally contain more vegetable oils and proteins), putting pressure on the demand for animal feed. There is evidence of increases in the US meat market and experts forecast more shortages and price rises to come. Currently, there are 6.8 billion people in the world to feed. The United Nations (UN) says that this will increase to over nine billion by 2050. Its Food

and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) forecast that total world demand for agricultural products will leap by 70 per cent before 2050. They also predict a decade of higher

Meat prices are rising on the back of fodder cost increases prices - wheat and grain prices are expected to be 15 to 40 per cent higher. Vegetable oil will cost over 40 per cent more. Floods in Pakistan have also destroyed cotton crops. China, the world’s largest consumer and producer of cotton may have to step up its quota of impor ts if it experiences a shortage. Fashion retailer Next warned that clothing prices may rise by up to eight per cent next year due to the impending scarcity of cotton.

Inflation eats away at your wealth over the years, leaving you with a lot less spending power in the future than you may currently expect. Food prices are already putting a strain on the cost of living. The demand for wheat and associated foodstuffs will increase as shortages become more acute and the demand from a growing world population intensifies. If you are concerned about inflation reducing your wealth in the long-term, ask an experienced wealth manager for advice on investments to keep pace with inflation and which are suited to your personal circumstances. For example, as part of your portfolio, you can invest in real assets, which include commodities like agriculture, and benefit from the increasing demand as well as rising prices.

Job skills

Language demands A

mazingly, with its dependence on tourism and the continual insistence of government and administrative bodies of the need for quality service, Canarian employers continue to rate language abilities low in their check list of desirable qualities for a new employee. Job listings in the islands show them to be in the third lowest position in comparison with the rest of the regions. However, overall in Spain, the progressive globalisation of businesses together with the increasing tendency of workers to migrate, particularly across Europe, has meant an increase in the demand by employers for multicultural teams and language abilities in their prospective employees. The number of job offers in Spain requiring language abilities increased by six per cent over the last year to just over a third of all the job opportunities. In addition to the traditional languages, the demand for Chinese, Japanese and Arabic speakers is also notable as well as an increasing need for Eastern European languages such as Rumanian, Polish, Russian and Czech. In the Canaries the level is surprisingly under the national average with only 20.09 per cent of the jobs advertised insisting

Business funds

New grants

The following grants have been made available to Spanish businesses on acceptation of application.

rom the Chamber of Commerce, three new grants to help small and medium businesses access Internet business via help in creating a web site (final date December 31st 2010), to improve the competitiveness of small and medium businesses via new business associations (final date October 2nd) and the development of innovative projects within the Canarian region (final date October 1st). At national level there is a further grant available (source BOP 9/9/2010 with a final date of October 9th) for starting up new business enterprises.

Retirement investment

Profitable pensions

Spanish pension funds registered a return of 3.4 per cent in the latest year on year figures.

he improvement has been mainly due to fixed income funds which have returned 6.3 per cent and variable non-euro funds which have shown a 15.4 per cent return on investment.

Transport Language skills are increasingly important for would-be workers

on linguistic skills (13.67 points below the national average). English continues to be the language required by most employers in Spain, with over 74 per cent of the top range of jobs requiring candidates to possess a high level of spoken and written English. French is the next in importance, increasing in 0.5 per cent in demand since last year, followed by German for which the demand has dropped by two percentage points and is only required by 4.52 per cent of employers. In the Canaries, 89.36 per cent of those employers requir-

ing language skills insist on English, 2.13 per cent French and 8.51 per cent German. In general in Spain it is not only in the tourist sector that the demand for linguistic abilities has grown. In the export sector over 82 per cent of the job offers require language abilities, in energy resources 58.64 per cent, in marketing 56.21 per cent, in heavy machines 55.89 per cent, industry 50.9 per cent, electronics 48.22 per cent, administration and finances 42.76 per cent, personnel management and consultants 40.38 per cent,

information technology 40.13 per cent, consultancies 36.2 per cent, food and wine distribution 31.19 per cent and sales 28.57 per cent. So if you are bilingual, don’t necessarily restrict your job search to tourism. English is important in all areas but particularly in marketing, information technology, management, administration and finances. French is impor tant in expor tation and personnel management and German is listed as a requirement in jobs requiring client service and attention and also exportation.

Flight problems

Complaints about flights make up 30 per cent of tourist claims.

onsultations and complaints about tourist flights are up 15 per cent over last year’s figures. Of the 4,500 complaints registered last month in the tourist survey by Legálitas, 30 per cent were related to delays and cancellations of flights or loss of luggage. The increase has been blamed on the uncertainty caused by the air traffic controllers’ labour dispute. A quarter of the complaints were about accommodation and 23 per cent on packages, whilst seven per cent related to hire cars and 15 per cent to food poisoning, thefts and other less usual occurrences.

Pensions

Work longer to receive less O

n the eve of the national strike, set for September 29, the Spanish President, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, set the cat among the pigeons even more by announcing that pensions are to be frozen.

He immediately came under fire for attacking the weakest sector of society and given the crowing of his group in previous years every time the pensions were increased, perhaps he set himself up for it. Given the increasing longevity of the population and

the drop in the bir th rate, changes in the pension system were inevitable and Spain’s solution is similar to that of other European countries, to extend the number of years we have to spend working. The President has now confirmed that a Pension reform law will be presented to the Spanish Parliament, “before the end of the year”. The Spanish stock exchange and debt market was put under severe pressure early in the summer, obliging the Government to rethink and put a series of austerity measures into place

to rapidly reduce the public deficit. Pension reform is the last brick in the wall of the new Spanish political economy. The discussion and advisory group called the Pacto de Toledo, made up of experts from across the sectors, is due to deliver its recommendations any day now and in a press conference in Oslo the President remarked, “the aim is to send to Parliament, with the maximum consensus possible, a project for a new pension law …. to guarantee that those who are to retire within the next decade have their pension

payments assured.” He underlined that those in power who, “have the details that we have at our disposal over aging and demographic changes in Spain, should take decisions”. Changes so far put forward are taking into account the last 20 years that you have paid into the system instead of the last 15 as a basis for calculating your pension rights and the possibility of extending the retirement age from 65 to 67. “If life expectancy in Spain is the second longest is the world behind that of Japan, it’s evident that we should make changes to assure the future of pensions”, “affirmed Zapatero. The freezing of pensions at current levels was included in the proposals sent to the EU before the summer legislation break and so far the Government has refused to even debate the possibility of backing down on that.

Accommodation

Anaga Albergue

The hikers’ dream accommodation location in Anaga clocked up an increase of more than 63 per cent on the number of visitors in June, July and August.

ver 1,200 overnight stays were registered at the hostel in the Anaga Rural Park in El Bailadero. The centre, that can accommodate 40 individuals, was inaugurated in November. It’s separated into bedrooms of two, four and six beds and has a dining room which is popular with the guests for the quality/price value for money. Average guest profiles are of students, hikers or sport and nature lovers of between 26 and 35 years old and from the Canaries, the Spanish peninsula, Germany or France. In addition to accommodation the hostel offers guided routes on foot or by mountain bike, starter courses for climbers on the on-site climbing wall, handicrafts workshops and evening entertainment with games and plays.

LegalMatters By John Hatrick, Tenerife Solicitors

Legal Questions A: Unfortunately this is an ever more common scenario. The bank is a private organisation and hence legally entitled to determine their own valuation of the property. Any offer of a mortgage will be subject to that valuation. I suspect that the small print in any mortgage offer will confirm this.

Q: I am buying a resale apartment in Los Cristianos. If I buy through an agent, I understand that the transfer tax payable would be 6.5 per cent VAT, but what is the tax if I buy the property privately? I have been told that the rates differ in each case. A. The transfer tax payable in the Canar y Islands when purchasing a resale property is the same regardless of your nationality or residence or whether you purchase through an agent or directly from the owner. The rate is 6.5 per cent. For a new or off-plan property, the total purchase tax payable is 5.75 per cent. However, assuming that the agent’s commission is to be deducted from the agreed purchase price, it is possible to specify in the ‘escritura’ (Title Deed) separate figures for the agent’s commission and the balance of the purchase price going to the seller. That way, the buyer only has to pay the relevant tax on the amount going to the seller. There is no property tax chargeable on estate agents’ commissions or fees.

If the amounts are separated in this way, the buyer should not end up paying any more property tax simply because there is an agent involved.

Q: I recently signed a contract to purchase a villa in Callao Salvaje. I was told by my bank that I was eligible for a mortgage of 65 per cent of the agreed purchase price. I raised the 10 per cent deposit privately and I had just enough funds to cover the remaining 25 per cent. However, the bank has now obtained a valuation of the property, which is for a lower amount than the agreed purchase price. Hence, the 65 per cent of this valuation is no longer enough to cover the balance of the purchase price that I require. I now need to raise an additional €5,000 . My lawyer has obtained an official valuation from the local tax office, which values the property at almost the same amount as the agreed purchase price. Are the bank entitled to rely on the lower valuation? What will happen if I am unable to raise the balance myself?

The result is that you have signed a contract which requires you to complete the purchase within two months for the full purchase price. Whilst it is possible to negotiate and insert a clause entitling you to back out in the event that the bank valuation is below expectations, this was not considered or negotiated by your lawyer. Unfortunately, you must now either find the additional €5,000 or obtain better mor tgage terms from another bank at extremely short notice, or you will be in breach of contract. In that instance, you would lose your 10 per cent deposit to the seller, who would then be free to put the property back onto the market. We strongly recommend to all clients requiring a full mortgage that a contract clause is negotiated that allows the buyer to recoup his deposit and walk away in the event of receiving an unacceptably low bank valuation.

Dr. De La Flor

healthytenerife@gmail.com

Dear Dr. De La Flor Dear Dr. De La Flor, My newborn seems to be vomiting too often and I’m preoccupied. What should I do? Sincerely, Laura

Dear Laura, The main issue about your baby is if he is a “happy spitter”. Every baby spits up or vomits occasionally. If, despite the spitting, your baby is content, has no discomfort, is growing, he is what we call a “happy spitter” and no treatment is needed. Typically, the lower oesophagus valve tightens up sometime in the first year at which time the spitting up may go away. At the junction of the oesophagus and the stomach is a ring of muscles (sphincter) that opens to let the food drop into the stomach and then tightens to prevent food from moving back up into the oesophagus. If the stomach contents should happen to re-enter the esophagus, this is called ‘reflux’. Infants are especially prone to reflux because their stomachs are tiny (about the size of a golf ball), and the sphincter may be immature. Unlike happy spitters, some babies are diagnosed with Gastrooesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) if the vomiting seems to be causing tangible problems, such as discomfort and pain; breathing problems of any kind (gagging, coughing, wheezing); poor growth. One misconception is that

GERD is often due to milk intolerance. But if you think about it, the milk has just entered the stomach and hasn’t had time to be digested, much less be recognised as an allergen of one type or another. So changing your baby’s formula usually does not help. However, if the vomiting is accompanied by severe diarrhoea, an allergy to his milk is more likely. Tips for Concerned Parents: Keep your baby upright for a half hour or so after a feeding (to let gravity help out). Make sure there’s no pressure on the stomach after a feeding. For example, try to wait at least 30 minutes after feeding before putting baby down. Thicken feedings (usually by adding some rice cereal) so they’re heavier and less likely to come back up. However, most babies who have reflux are happy spitters. Medications in such cases should be avoided, and the best medication is patience and plenty of affection. Best wishes to you and your baby.

Dear Dr. De La Flor, I’ve tried several medications for migraine headaches with little success. Any hints for treatment and prevention? Sincerely, Joanna

Dear Joanna, The main thing about migraines is to ‘know thyself’.

There is a myriad of pills available to assist migraine sufferers

most of his family put to death, the future great psychiatrist said: “Man is not destroyed by suffering. He is destroyed by suffering without meaning.” Since life isn’t a path of roses, we will always face difficulties and sometimes seemingly insurmountable ones. Viktor Franckl had the guts to dig deep, and find meaning. He grew as a son, as a family man, as a doctor, as a citizen.

Best treatment for you? Lifestyle changes plus finding the ‘magic pill’ that works for you. Sorry if I sound too obvious, but to keep it simple, my advice is the following – the best one is the one that works for you! Ergotamines, Tryptanes … each patient is different and I can’t tell you which one is best for you. When it comes to migraine pr evention, lifestyle is essential. The more migrainesufferers I meet, the more I learn since you all bring similar complaints but dif ferent “baggage”. An effective tool in preventing migraines is a headache diary. Each time you suffer an attack, make note of the details leading up to it. Not only is it important to be aware of foods that you ate or if you skipped a meal, but also your caffeine intake (or lack of it!), whether you were sleep deprived or dehydrated. Knowing your triggers allows you far greater control in avoiding them. Most

sufferers will end up having a pretty good understanding of triggers. The arsenal of medications for prevention is generous. The key is to find the one that fits your profile. I do not recommend medication unless the patient has seriously tried lifestyle modification (including stress management) first. • Propranolol (a beta-blocker

type of blood pressure medication). • Verapamil (a calcium

channel blocker type of blood pressure medication).

• Topiramate: Many people like this because it can cause modest weight loss. • Nortriptyline/Amitriptyline:

These older medications can work at relatively low doses. They were originally used to treat depression. • Gabapentin: Usually not a

first choice for headaches. It

is also used for fibromyalgia, back pain and neuropathy pain, some patients may take it for more than one problem. • Pregabalin: It is often used when other medications haven’t worked. • Tizanidine: This muscle

relaxer is sometime used for headache prevention, usually in patients with chronic daily headaches, or tension headaches. Make sure you have a thorough conversation with your doctor. Lifestyle modification can work wonders. Good luck!

Resolution: Find meaning in whatever is bothering you at the present moment. Be brave and grab the bull by the horns, considering how that pain can transform you into a more caring, more patient, more trusting, more generous, more inspiring person.

Cavitation

Flush out the fat

Part One

Alcohol is healthy, isn’t it?

p to now there was no realistic non surgical procedure to actually ‘destroy’ fat. By going to the gym, eating well and using fat burning pills or creams we were only able to squeeze, mould and press our fat cells. But now there’s cavitation.

ver the last four months I have been involved in constant discussions with a colleague about the real effects of alcohol. He mentions studies which have proven the benefits of consumption, I counter with the details of the negative effects.

I finally decided to do some research, looking at the pros and cons. I found some very interesting studies and facts, the most interesting of which I have put together here.

People have used chemicals to alter their mood for centuries, and probably one of the first substances they used was alcohol. There are many kinds of alcohol. Ethanol, which is the alcohol found in beer, wine, whiskey, etc. isn’t the same alcohol that the nurse rubbed on your arm before you donated blood — that’s isopropyl alcohol. Ethanol is formed by the fermentation of plants that are dense sources of carbohydrate and is rich in energy, providing seven calories per gram. Alcohol is readily absorbed throughout the entire gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and the rate at which it’s absorbed is likely affected the most by the presence or absence of food in the stomach. After ethanol is absorbed through the GI tract, it heads to the

credit:Engideniz

What is alcohol?

liver, which metabolises more than 90 per cent of it. The ethanol that isn’t metabolised can enter the bloodstream unaltered. Indeed, the liver prefers ethanol as a fuel so much that it will displace other substrates when available; in other words, it’ll use alcohol first. That is significant if we think about fat loss. Before your body can even think about touching the fat it will use the stored alcohol. In Europe, a standard drink ranges between eight and 12 grams of alcohol. ‘Moderate drinking’ is broadly defined as the consumption of one or two drinks per day, or up to 30 grams of alcohol. 30 grams of alcohol contain 210 kcal which will be used as first energy supplier. (30gr x 7kcal)

Alcohol and body composition There are mixed associations between alcohol intake and body fat. Adding alcohol to one’s usual food intake can lead to obesity if total calories are regularly in excess of daily needs. However, substituting alcohol for one’s usual food intake often leads to muscle loss and protein malnutrition. But as alcohol impairs judgement, people who drink socially may find that they are more likely to engage in problematic eating behaviours while drinking. (A big plate of nachos or chicken wings seems like a great idea by the third beer!) (Next issue I will look at alcohol and nutrients, hormones and some benefits)

Cavitation is a new technique designed to remove fat and cellulite from problem areas. After10 years of investigation, since 2007 it has been promoted as the only process outside of plastic surgery that actually is successful in permanently removing fat cells. The ultrasonic cavitation, also known as aesthetic cavitation is a relatively new technique and is a very smart way to reduce fat as it is converted into liquid and then eliminated along with urine in the regular, natural way. The process is faster when cavitation is followed by a lymphatic drainage, as drainage is very effective at eliminating liquids. Let’s look at the details on how ultrasonic cavitation works: The ultrasonic cavitation reduces fat cells with certain manipulation techniques, thanks to a machine that is placed on the skin exactly in the area to be treated. The physics principle of cavitation was not used in aesthetic medicine until recently. The machine works with ultrasounds that form a bubble in the tissues where the fat cells are. The bubble expands and then it is immediately compressed. The temperature increases due to the sudden pressure variation making the bubble implode. The implosion damages only the fat cells, reducing the lo-

calised adiposity. With the cavitation the fat cells are exposed to a pressure that breaks their membranes, unleashing the destruction of adipose deposits. The fat contained (triglycerides) fragments into diglycerides that are expelled via the urinary system. A low-calorie diet is recommended as well as drinking at least two litres of water before and after the treatment, both seen as an essential step in the fat elimination process. Generally one cavitation treatment lasts 40 minutes, and a single part of the body is treated: abdomen, buttocks, internal or the external part of the thighs are the most common ones. The minimum suggested number of weekly sessions is from eight to 10. For those who like to take care of themselves, are in good overall health condition, and want to improve their appearance but are concerned about the classic problem body areas, struggling on a diet or want to target a small area: knees, belly, lower back, this form of treatment is ideal. If you have tried every diet, every pill, every cream and

every potion but still can’t reduce that ‘impossible’ area that makes you feel uncomfortable.

Contraindications

Liver or kidneys disorder, cancer, pacemaker, hearing sensitivity, severe heart condition, metal pins or plates or high cholesterol. Cavitation does not leave bruises or scars, and it is not painful. You can still go on with your regular lifestyle, you don’t need to sign off work, there’s no anaesthesia required. However, it is highly recommended to drink plenty of water to help flushing out the fat (already converted into liquid), to follow a draining diet full of veggies and fruit, as well as getting some lymphatic drainage done. Firming creams will help improve the appearance of the skin and keep the results already achieved. Cavitation is on offer at Zhen Estetica C.C Passarella Oasis, local B-8, Los Cristianos Tlf. 922 79 84 16, www.zhenestetica.com . Ask for Diana Clavijo (Directora)

By Daniela Herzberg & Roger Keller

Waste of time Dear Editor

hy does it seem impossible to let parents know what next term’s school equipment and book requirements will be before they break up the previous year? Both my kids have gone back to school this week and we are still waiting for the list of the books and stuff that they need, which means that they are filling in their days playing games and doing photocopied exercises, downloaded from Internet, which don’t seem to be part of the syllabus. Spain seems to have one of the worst educational records in Europe and they are wasting our kids’ time because they are not organised enough. It’s not a problem of just our local school, talking to

friends both here and in the Spanish peninsula, the problem seems to be widespread. Your paper and other publications urge us to spread the cost and use the sales to get bargain school materials. We’d love to, if anybody was capable of actually letting us know what was needed in advance. Sincerely B. Dunstable Los Realejos

Learning curve Dear Editor

oes anyone know what’s going on with the schools this year? Loads of us parents are getting a bit fed up with what seems to be a completely ad-hoc approach to how our kids’ schools are being

run, and I know I’m not the only one.

better, with gaps in teaching staff in a number of schools.

There are at least two schools I know of in Adeje where this year four year olds and five year olds have to attend a ‘mixed’ class as there are not enough teachers to cover the demand. Why not? What are we paying taxes for? I know there’s a crisis on and all that, but no one has reduced our taxes to help us make our money stretch a bit more, but they’re expecting our kids to ‘make do’ with a lesser education service.

Health and education, the cornerstones of a civilised society. And here in South Tenerife we’re still waiting for a public hospital and adequate schooling. Isn’t it about time the regional government got the proverbial finger out and started doing something relevant for those of us who live here?

Maybe I’m a bit old fashioned, but I do believe that a good education is one of the most important starts in life you can give your children, and that begins at an early age. Ok, so at four and five they haven’t officially started ‘real’ school, but they’re on the early learning curve. Mixing ages in one classroom sounds too much like the kind of schooling our grandparents talked about. Am I being too strict too early? I don’t think so, and talking to parents of those children who have started first class this year it doesn’t seem to be too much

Dissipate relationship tensions by actually listening to how your special people feel.  Snake (1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001) Put effort into your domestic situation, whether that means allocating your partner quality time or getting down to decorating the bedroom.  Horse (1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002) People close to us can’t always see when they’re being totally unreasonable, so try a soft approach to bring them back on track. Journeys and weekend trips are favoured if they’re well planned.

Future big concerts? Sun Live Festival

iven that the economy of the Canary Islands is still going through one of its worst periods in recent history, it is appropriate that a group of more than 100 businesses and 50 hotels are rallying together to try to reinvent tourism in the Islands.

We have already seen Elton John, Rod Stewart and Simply Red. Their question is, why not bring U2 here in April, Bruce Springsteen in May, Madonna in July, Bon Jovi in September and Sting in November? At the moment, we don’t have the capacity to host concerts of that size, but Sun Live Festival are working on a project ‘Live Park’, a precinct which would make them possible, generating spectacular results for tourism. Their idea is that we can only compete with other tourist destinations if each and every company in the sector joins in.

That group is called Sun Live Festival. The sun and the sea are still main attractions, but more leisure and entertainment options need to be added to make the island unique and more attractive than other destinations which form our competition. Unique or select attractions have to be found, and according to Sun Live Festival, work must start now. They see the future Tenerife as a giant multi-theme park offering volcanology, astronomy, biodiversity, nature, renewable energy, whales and dolphins, high capacity cultural shows, sports, science, technology, cinema, the list just goes on. The objective is that the tourist leaves us with an empty wallet, but nevertheless satisfied and happy, and most of all, wanting to return. In this way, holidaymakers will recommend Tenerife as a destination to their families and business colleagues, and this is the cheapest form of advertising. Music festivals are proven to attract

Why not bring the mega stars, such as Madonna, to Tenerife?

thousands of people. The Canary Islands are unique in Europe because they can host open air concerts all year round, an incredible opportunity which Sun Live Festival want to take advantage of, with more frequent events designed to suit all ages and tastes.

Disney Live

et again Disney are providing adults with the perfect excuse to revisit their childhood in the company of their own children, with Mickey’s Music Festival, in Las Palmas and Tenerife. Few stars have stood the test of so much time – who doesn’t know Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy, who are joined by newer members of the Disney clan such as, Sebastian and Ursula; Jasmine, Aladdin and the Genie, Woody, Buzz and Jessie, and for the little ones, the chance to see their favourite cartoon stars live on stage will be unmissable. The show features old favourites as well as stars from Disney films such as The Little Mermaid, Aladdin and Toy Story. A musical offering, the show includes performances of Disney’s most famous songs, with some brilliant arrangements of the original music and modern hip hop, pop, swing, reggae, rock or country music. It is a must for young and old. For the first time Disney have chosen the Canary Islands as the starting point for their Spanish tour, and Disney Live! Mickey’s Music Festival will kick off in the Centro Insular de Deportes, Las Palmas (29 Sept–3 Oct) and continue in the Pabellón Insular Santiago Martín, La Laguna, Tenerife (7-12 Oct) before moving to Sevilla, Málaga, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca and finishing in Madrid.

With currently more than 100 companies and 50 hotels on board, the project is becoming sufficiently attractive to generate significant sponsorship. Belonging to Sun Live Festival doesn’t mean that you have to pay out, in fact the opposite applies. The indirect publicity and new clients will be only some of the benefits you will enjoy while being part of a strong group which aims to reactivate the sector and guarantee its survival.

Helpful hints for around the house

Installing a solar panel Part 1

f you get the right system, you will not only have free hot water, it will be maintenance free as well. There are no moving parts and it does not require any power supply. There are two types of solar panel. One type provides electricity and the other provides hot water. The hot water type is cheaper and simpler to install and is the type we are covering this week. The one featured here is a gravity fed, closed system. Hot water does not come directly from the panel, but is obtained via a heat-exchanger. This greatly prolongs the life of the system. Houses built in the last few years should be preplumbed to take a solar hot

water system. Ask your estate agent or builder if you are not sure about yours. If you have the necessary plumbing, you should see two pipes sticking up out of your roof or terrace. The simplest installation is on a flat surface, such as a roof terrace. All manufacturers will supply you with a stand to support your system. Most manufacturers also stock stands for pitched roofs.

How to work out which pipe is hot and which is cold • Turn off supply to current

water heater if possible and the mains supply into the building. • Disconnect any caps. Turn on cold water main, preferably with someone on the roof. Water coming

Useful vocabulary Expansion tank / Vaso de expansión Hot water / Agua caliente Indirect system / Sistema indirecta Solar energy / Energia solar Support stand / Montaje soporte Thermosyphon System / Sistema termosifón

out of a pipe will indicate cold inlet, the other will be hot. • Don’t be put off by the size of the system. It will seem huge! The best way to get it on your roof is with a ‘grua’ or small crane. Robert can recommend one close to you. • When choosing a mounting system, roof mounts are usually the cheapest option. If weight is an issue, ground mounts can be a good choice. Wall mounts are another solution that can work well in some situations. Find the sunniest spot for your panel. Generally, you want no shading between 9am and 3pm. It should face true south. If you cannot match these criteria, you may need to install a bigger panel.

If you have any questions on solar hot water systems or any other DIY topic you can call Robert on 922 814073, mobile 605 469352 or email rjmcalees@yahoo.com.

Beach babies

Pets petition

ver three thousand people have signed a new petition for a beach for pets in Santa Cruz. They are asking that the beach behind the Parque Marítimo in the capital is fitted out to allow dog owners and their pets to use the sand and permit the animals to swim there. If they succeed it will become the only beach in the Canaries that allows animals access. The initiative is being organised by a new group,

Proprietarios de Perros de Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz dog owners) and they have also staged a demonstration on the beach with their beach loving pals. It’s a long slow battle, mainly because they are being bounced from authority pillar to post as there are so many different bodies involved in the coastal management – the Coasts Department, the Port’s Authority and the local Council, to name but three. Owners have promised that their animals will be legally chipped, vaccinated and without parasites and that they will pick up any “deposits” that may be made. As the animal half of the prospective beach users neither throw sand, kick footballs, generate plastic and tin can rubbish, nor put out cigarette stubs in the sand, if the petition is finally granted, it looks set to be one of the most enjoyable and possibly cleanest beaches in the Islands.

World heritage diet

From September 24 to October 10, 19 restaurants in Santiago del Teide will be offering special dishes

he jury is out and the countdown is on for the declaration of the Mediterranean Diet as an official World Heritage.

credit:th3lutser

If the application is approved in November, the Mediterranean Diet will become the first gastronomic item in the miscellaneous section of UNESCO’s listings which include the Oruro Carnival, the Bolivian mountains, the Mbende Jerusarema dance of Zimbabwe, the processional giants and dragons of Belgium and France and the Chinese Xua paper. All have elements which are considered to enrich humanity’s heritage to the extent that they should be recognised, shared and preserved. The Mediterranean Diet’s candidacy hopes to safeguard an agricultural tradition thousands of years old and to transmit to future generations its recipes and flavours. The application was made as a multinational candidacy from Spain, Greece, Italy and Morocco. In the Mediterranean basin, food is something more than a mere vehicle for nutrients. Its most representative elements are wheat, vine and olives although offered in various different textures and flavours. For instance, in Spain the bocadillo is the most popular form of snack, whereas in other parts of the Mediterranean you might enjoy a Kebab or filled pita bread pockets – all made with the same prime material ingredient, wheat. But the use of wheat flour goes far beyond the various and multiple types of bread, from biscuits to sauces such as béchamel, croquettes, couscous, cakes, sponges, pancakes and the Spanish Sunday morning treat, churros. The vines not only provide wine, but the vine leaves are used for many recipes typical in the Eastern Mediterranean and grapes are a favourite table protagonist as a fruit or as an ingredient, fresh or dried, in cakes, to dress salads or add a special touch to fish or game. Finally the olive tree and in the Mediterranean there are trees which are more than a thousand years old. They are robust trees with an apparently humble fruit that reveals liquid gold. Its oil confers its flavour on soups, stews, to meat, desserts and bread, in short to the whole diet. The healthy properties of olive oil have been widely documented, its importance in gastronomy is beyond doubt and of course its fruit can be used simply in recipes or as a simply appealing aperitif. Currently the widest medical study of the effect of the Mediterranean Diet on health is entering its ultimate phase. Predimed is documenting in particular the effect of the Diet on cardiovascular pathologies and diabetes with a study including over 7,000 patients and a large group of dieticians, nurses, doctors and volunteers in 19 hospitals and Spanish universities. The results of the test assessed by an impartial board are expected soon.

Vampires beware T

he next town in the foodie promotions, highlighting a local product and organised in conjunction with the Tenerife Tourist Board, is Santiago del Teide and their chosen product is garlic.

From September 24 to October 10, 19 local restaurants will be offering special dishes featuring this special allium at ver y reasonable prices, including wine, and a number of events have been organised. If you speak Spanish, there’s a talk on garlic and an introduction to Canarian cuisine at the Cooperative Cultural Centre in Tamaimo on September 27th at 7pm with the participation of specialist food critics. On the 30th a wine tasting course starts at 5pm at the Farmer’s Market in the town centre and the following day, October 1, there’s a round table chat by the some of the area’s main chefs and a cookery demonstration and tasting

at 8pm in the Plaza de los Gigantes. For local bar owners or workers there’s a course on the10 main mistakes made in the trade and how to correct or avoid them between 9am and 12 noon on October 5 at ASEMTEIDE and Radio Gigante will be running a programme on October 8 based on the gastronomy of the area. In the Puerto de Santiago area, three restaurants have named their garlic inspired of ferings after their own establishments, Restaurante La Morenita, Restaurante El Mesón’s garlic chicken dish and El Estero’s cod. Restaurante La Pérgola will be taking part with a cod dish with garlic crunch, Res-

taurante La Plaza’s garlicky dish is wreckfish marinière, Restaurante Pizzería Domus Mia are offering a special dish of Tagliatelle fisherwoman’s style, Restaurante Pancho have tuna fillet with couscous and a honey sauce, Tasca Sabor Español offer wreckfish fillet on a bed of garlic with saffron sauce, Restaurante San Remo have a salmon and giant prawn carpaccio and in Los Gigantes, the new Restaurante La Mariposa have a special farfala dish. Further around the bay in the Playa de la Arena area, Restaurante AM FCK have introduced garlic stuffed pork rolls onto their menu, Restaurante Chocopasión present savoury stuffed pancakes with mushrooms and prawns and Restaurante Jardín Flor Del Drago have exotic scallops with garlic, apple and ginger. In Tamaimo, Restaurante Vista Guama offers a new tuna dish with fried garlic whilst Campomar has home made battered fish fingers and in the old town centre, the Señorio del Valle visitors’ centre have named their garlic dish for the centre, Restaurante El Patio

are now offering rabbit in garlic sauce and Restaurante Bodega Chinyero have created a new Tiger mussel dish with garlic and rice. As well as promoting the borough and its restaurants it’s hoped that the new dishes will become favourites with clients and stay on the menus, thus also enhancing the demand for a local agricultural product and increasing local farmers’ income. These events are part of a Tenerife tourism promotion called Acoge, a financial plan supported by the Tenerife Cabildo, the Canarian Government’s Tourism Ministry and the State Tourism Department to develop new tourism products and give a boost to those currently on the market.

Las Afortunadas, San Miguel

Making your house into a home! I

t’s almost impossible to come up with a word that describes the Las Afortunadas store in San Miguel. It’s a hardware, gardening, interiors, building materials, accessories, decoration, kitchen and bathroom and all-round DIY shop all under one rather large roof. Very much a one-stop home and garden shop. What’s in store? Well, with 4,800 m2 of shop floor, just about everything. Whether

you’re a professional builder, gardener, a well practiced DIY enthusiast or a debutante home decorator, this is most definitely the place to go, and with a trained staff of 25 professionals on the shop floor, who can help you find what you need, at the price you can afford, you can’t go wrong. They can also put you in touch with experts (clients of theirs) if you’re newly arrived to the island and are looking for a plumber/carpenter/interior

decorator/electrician – a kind of inter-client network. For home interiors every room is catered for. Curtains, blinds and all the kinds of kitchen accessories you might need are stocked as well as some extremely useful space saving devices for every room of the house. Kids and teenies too can have their bedrooms and studies decorated to suit their individual tastes. Colour and colour mixing is an art form perfected by the Las Afortunadas staff, and they can produce up to 1,000 dif-

ferent shades, to suit your requirements, and once your mix is perfected a note is made of the colours used for future reference. Floor covering, including an excellent parquet range are on offer and bathrooms too are well catered for, from taps and tiles to baths and showers. Wooden it be nice…The carpentry section in Las Afortunadas is quite simply top notch, with a huge selection of beds, tables, desks and shelving. Most products are sold in kit form - better value

for money and easier to transport – but they will arrange delivery and assembly for a small extra cost to anywhere in the island. They also have a range of exclusively made wooden furniture only available through their stores. And during the month of September (and while stocks last) many items from this section of the store in San Miguel are at factory prices as they on a stockclearance drive. Whatever colour your gardening fingers, the gardening section in Las Afortunadas in

compromise the body’s ability to neutralise these tissue destructive oxidants,” explained one of the study’s authors. Researchers also found that tobacco users had higher levels of periodontal disease if they also consumed lower levels of dietary vitamin C. “Since oxidants from cigarette smoking lower vitamin C levels in the blood, smokers need higher levels of dietary vitamin C to help counteract smoke’s oxidants,” said Dr Chanut.

sun exposure may want to eat foods fortified with vitamin D such as milk, eggs, sardines and tuna fish. “We are not encouraging people to forego their sun protection, nor to spend prolonged periods of time in the sun” says Dr Chanut. “There is no such thing as a total UV block. Even the most effective sunscreens currently on the market let through enough UV to allow for adequate vitamin D formation.” A number of infectious diseases have been linked with low levels of vitamin D, and it has been demonstrated that vitamin D can suppress proinflammatory cytokine production. “Periodontal disease increases the production of cytokines, but it has been demonstrated that vitamin D can suppress cytokine production, and possibly decrease the risk of periodontal disease,” added Dr Chanut.

San Miguel will leave other suppliers green with envy. For the professionals there is a range of power tools for every requirement (the Sthil brand is prominent) every kind of tool and grass cutter, secateurs and shears, as well as a selection of plants and flowers, for all garden and terrace sizes. The shop also sells an excellent range of garden furniture, tables and chairs, BBQ sets, outdoor lighting, and lots more. Why not visit their super store in San Miguel and take time to browse. Even if you have a fairly set idea as to how you want to decorate your home, a look at the extensive range on offer might spark your imagination, or give you some fresh ideas. Either way you won’t be disappointed.

Nutrition and oral health N

utrition plays an important role in overall wellness, including oral health. Eating well and maintaining a healthy diet can help reduce the risk of developing problems in your mouth, including periodontal disease.

In fact, including certain foods as part of a nutritious diet has actually been shown to play a role in the prevention of periodontal disease. Periodontal, or gum, disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. Periodontal disease is a major cause of tooth loss in adults.

Lactic acid and calcium

A recent study determined that individuals who regularly consume 55 or more grams of foods containing lactic acid, commonly found in dairy products such as yogurt, have a lower instance of gum disease. Dairy products are also a good source of calcium which has been shown to lower the risk of severe periodontal disease. The American Dietetic Association advises that adults should consume at least three servings of calcium each day to help keep your jaw bone strong and your teeth in place.

Vitamin C

According to a study, consuming less than 60 mg of vitamin C each day can put you at slightly higher risk for developing certain types of periodontal disease. According to the Institute of Medicine, the recommended dietary allowance for vitamin C is 60 mg per day – or about one orange. “The relationship between vitamin C and periodontal disease is likely due to vitamin C’s role in maintaining and repairing healthy connective tissue along with its antioxidant properties. Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disorder that increases tissue damage and loss. Since vitamin C is known as a powerful scavenger of reactive oxygen species, which form part of the body’s antioxidant defence system, low levels of dietary vitamin C may

Vitamin D

Sometimes known as the “sunshine vitamin”, vitamin D can help lessen inflammation associated with periodontal disease. Research shows that the best means of obtaining the required amount of vitamin D is from sunshine. According to the National Institutes of Health, season, geographic latitude, time of day, cloud cover, smog and sunscreen affect ultraviolet ray exposure and vitamin D synthesis. Ten to 15 minutes of sun exposure at least two times per week to the face, arms, hands or back is usually sufficient to provide adequate vitamin D. People who live in an area with limited

A healthy diet

Obesity can be the result of an unbalanced diet, which may lack the nutrients known to help prevent gum disease. Also, excessive consumption of sugary drinks such as soft

drinks and foods high in sugars, trans-fats, and sodium are often associated with increased tooth decay and can have a negative impact on periodontal health. “Periodontitis has long been considered an ‘older person’s’ disease, as more than half of people aged 55 or older have it. We now know that widespread risk factors such as obesity may also compromise periodontal health in younger populations,” commented Dr Chanut. “This is one more finding that shows healthy nutrition and adequate physical activity are necessary for overall health, and may also help to improve periodontal health by reducing the rate of progression of periodontal disease. Without the proper nutrients from a healthy diet, the body can have a hard time fighting off infections such as periodontal diseases. And routinely including such things as lactic acid, calcium, and vitamins C and D in your diet have been shown to possibly reduce the occurrence of gum disease. So next time you go to the grocery store or sit down for a meal, remember: eat right to smile bright!

Hoteles Adrián

Taste the good life A

young barman from a south Tenerife hotel has just been named barman of the year in the 2010 Pan-American cocktail championship, the first Spaniard to do so in the history of this competition.

Victor Suárez who works in the five star luxury Hotel Jardines de Nivaria in Fañabé has been competing for six years. In 2004 he won the young barman’s Spanish championship. Last year and this he won the Tenerife championship and in June this year he waltzed off with the Spanish championship in the Bacardi Martini Grand Prix in San Sebastián. His next challenge is the world championship in Turin in October, where he will represent Spain in this prestigious competition. His superb win over 50 of his fellow professional barmen in Ecuador has encouraged the

local administrations to bring the championship to Tenerife next year and The Magma Centre will be the 2011 home of the Pan-American cocktail championship, fielding 16 European and 12-13 American professional barmen or women. Victor was born in Asturias 34 years ago and moved to Tenerife in 1996, joining the Hoteles Adrián group in 2002. A draughtsman by training, he was unable to find work in that profession when he started work so he, “did a bit of this and that” until he ended up working in a bar. “I was a bit disappointed at the time, until one day I decided that if the only work I could get was in a bar, I was going to be the best barman there was, or at least the best I could be,” he added modestly. He is somewhat dismissive of the trend towards the flair cocktail makers, “traditional

professional barmen consider them to be jugglers,” he declared, “it may be entertaining, but the cocktail is the important thing, the flavour and presentation. Who wants to drink a cocktail when the decoration has been grabbed by hand and plonked on the glass?” Although he will continue to create his marvellous new cocktails for the hotel, he has only a few more competitions to enter before he will be resting on his laurels - the International Barmen Association (IBA) championships. Victor wants to spend more time with his family and he is going to be more active within the island’s professional bar staff’s organisation helping to train up the next generation of champions. He is usually based in the hotel’s Tiffany bar under the stunning glass dome just behind the entrance hall and both the

bar and La Cúpula restaurant are open to the general public as well as hotel guests. They have also just installed a fun mobile cocktail bar on the terrace outside so that those who prefer to tipple in the open air can also enjoy the sights and sounds of their favourite cocktail being prepared with professional aplomb. All the classic cocktails are on the list, including the current favourites, piña coladas, caipirinhas and the boom cocktail of the decade mojitos, but they also offer a range of house cocktails and 16 non alcoholic blends. Victor would like to see the IBA setting standards for non-alcoholic cocktails. “At the moment a San Francisco in one bar may be totally different to what you may find next door,” he commented. Even after so many years working in the profession, Victor continues to enjoy ex-

Victor Suárez

perimenting and blending new flavours, excelling himself and motivating himself and others. Many of the regular customers leave it up to Victor to choose what they will try when they visit the bar and he encourages everyone to come along to the Tiffany bar any day between

5pm and 1am and try a taste of the good life, or any other cocktail, on its own or preferably before or after dinner at La Cúpula. With complete confidence in his own abilities and that of his colleagues, he guaranteed, “whatever we make you, you will like”.

FEK Garden Design Superstore

Specialists in garden and terrace furniture T

he FEK Garden Design superstore is a byword for top quality in outdoor furniture and accessories.

Whether you’re looking to furnish your garden or terrace, be it for daily or occasional use, FEK Garden Design is your one-stop-shop for all you might need, selling everything in individual pieces or full suites and sets. Living in the Canary islands our gardens and terraces are very much part of the home, and often double up as an extra dining area, for daily family use or when friends are over for an evening meal. So it makes sense to choose the right table and chairs as well as outdoor sofas and armchairs to give your home that extra special touch of comfort, not to mention elegance. Gone are the days of plastic tables or chairs, or unsightly iron fur-

niture that was designed to withstand the weather rather than lend an air of elegance to your outdoors. These days garden furniture comes in an enormous range of sophisticated styles and shapes, with materials used ranging from woods and metals to some excellent

and weather proofed wicker work, a very ‘in’ choice indeed. Lighting and table ware are also on offer in a range of colours and styles. Given the range and size of the stock that FEK Garden Design carry, they can offer an excellent value-for-money price, as well as a huge inter-

national range of styles. And now that their son Jeroen has joined the family team of Femmy and Edward van Leeuwen, customers can look forward to some new and exciting ideas for their gardens in the FEK Garden Design range. He has already introduced a number of new lines geared

specifically towards hotels and restaurants, and has also brought in new Windscreen NL products, ideal for bars and small restaurants to install as a shield from wind and breezes. The MDT Tex sunshades are also new to FEK Garden Design and can withstand wind gusts of up to 130 km

per hour. As September is generally the month the family travel to Germany to source new material, a visit to FEK Garden Design over the next few weeks should open up a whole new world of garden, terrace and balcony possibilities.

Hyu n dai

Money back guarantee H

yundai is to refund clients the purchase price of their vehicle, including the costs of taxation and registration, if they are not completely satisfied, according to the director of Hyundai España, Diego Gutiérrez-Colomer.

To take advantage of this refund, clients must sign up for the new plan called Compromiso Hyundai, which is free of charge. This new plan will last until December 31st.

During this period, a client can return his or her vehicle to the same dealer which sold it to them, for whatever reason, as long as the vehicle has not been matriculated (registered) for more than 30 days, and has less than 2,000 kilometres on the clock.

Vorsprung durch Technik

This new plan is additional to the existing Plan Confianza Triple 5 which gives a five year warranty with unlimited mileage, five years of roadside assistance and five years of preventive checks of the car.

The Audi A1

Toyota

New Toyota website F

quality, design flair and engineering

udi has shrink-wrapped everything it stands for to create the new A1, a more compact three-door premium hatchback which delivers all the celebrated quality, design flair and engineering acumen synonymous with Vorsprung durch Technik in a more concentrated form.

The A1 made its World debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March and has now arrived in the Canaries. The new A1 distills the essence of Audi into a sleek, streamlined body with an impressively low drag coefficient of 0.32 which occupies a road ‘footprint’ of less than four metres, without sacrificing space for four adults and their luggage. The A1 comes with the latest, ultra-efficient TDI and TFSI engines backed up by start-stop and recuperation systems, state-of-the-art ESP with a new electronic differential lock and archetypal convenience features such as the optional Multi Media Interface (MMI) infotainment system. Not surprisingly

the most space efficient Audi in the range employs the most lightweight, compact and fuel efficient engines, all of which compensate very effectively for their relatively small displacements with the latest turbo charger technology and are equipped with engine start-stop and energy recuperation systems. The new 1.2 TFSI 86PS petrol engine linked exclusively to a five-speed manual transmission can reach 0-62mph in 12.1 seconds with a top speed of 111mph, 55.4mpg capability and low emissions of 119g/km. The more familiar 1.4 TFSI power unit can be supplied with the standard six-speed manual gearbox or the optional seven-speed S tronic twin-clutch transmission. With S tronic it takes the A1 to 62mph in 9.1 seconds, and on to 124mph where conditions allow, and in this form can match its smaller counterpart on economy and emissions, delivering up to 55.4mpg with emissions of 119g/km. Already renowned for creating the premium sector’s most fuelefficient car – the A3 1.6-litre TDI

The Compromiso Hyundai plan will accept vehicles which have superficial damage or which need repairs which are not covered by the warranty, up to a value of 700 euros in materials, mechanical work and indirect taxes, and these will be valued by the dealer and the sum subtracted from the amount paid by the client for the vehicle.

ollowing the launch of the first corporate blog pertaining to the automobile sector in the Canary Islands and the establishment of a presence in the most important social networks, Toyota Canarias now has a website which was completely designed and developed in the Canaries.

– the 105PS 1.6-litre diesel is the third engine option, and via a fivespeed manual gearbox, reaches 62mph in 10.8 seconds with a top speed of 116mph, with the potential to achieve 72.4mpg economy and emissions of 102g/km. Depending on which specification level is chosen, the suspension controls either 15-inch, 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels and has either a standard setting, a stiffer Sport configuration with lowered ride height or an even more sporting S line set-up. Powerful all-disc

brakes, ventilated at the front, and power-saving electrohydraulic power steering feature as standard across the range. The new Audi A1 feels every inch an Audi from behind the wheel, an impression which begins to form even before the ignition key is turned thanks to the exceptional quality of the interior finish and the familiar Audi comforts onboard. For more information, contact Domingo Alonso S.A, or call 928 301637.

This initiative, which falls within Toyota Canarias’ Proyecto Net, is yet another move forward in their strategy which represents a cultural evolution in their organisation, taking advantage of new communication and information technologies. The Toyota Canarias website has been created in an intuitive way which makes information easy to access so that you can find out anything you wish to know about the complete Toyota range of vehicles as well as hybrid technology, used vehicles and finance options.

Boxing By George Reed

Title shot at last for Audley

crack at the world heavyweight title in boxing is still a much coveted opportunity.

Once regarded as the greatest prize in all of sports, the heavyweight championship has become a pawn in a cutthroat game of chess ever since Lennox Lewis retired as reigning heavyweight champion of the world. Lewis left a massive void in the heavyweight division which has only partly been filled by Eastern Europeans since, in the shape of super heavyweights such as Wladimir Klitschko, his brother Vitali and the giant, Nicolai Valuev, who between them held the four main world heavyweight belts, that is until Londoner David Haye put the cat among the pigeons by cleverly out-pointing Valuev in November 2008 to snatch his W.B.A world title belt. Since taking the W.B.A. belt, Haye has had a lot of goading from the Klitschko brothers, yet when Wladimir, the younger of the two, accepted his challenge and offered Haye a shot at his I.B.F. and W.B.O. world title belts, David pulled out of the fight at short notice in June 2008, citing a back injury. Then to everyone’s surprise he was offered a second voluntary challenge against Vitali Klitschko for the W.B.O. title, but on the brink of contracts being signed, David changed his mind and took on the less talented Nicolai Valuev instead, to win the W.B.A. title. Haye once again turned down a unification fight with Wladimir Klitschko, instead giving fellow Londoner Audley Harrison a shot at his world title belt on 13th November in Manchester. Klitschko has rubbished the meeting as, “the heavyweight championship of London”, but the fight has already captured the imagination of the public in Britain, aided a lot by Haye’s many comments about Harrison, especially the offensive ones which have caused outrage in many corners. However it’s certainly generated lots of publicity. Six years ago I wrote an article on Audley when he stated, “as everyone can see, I have the talent and truly believe that I will be the world champion within two years”. Well Audley has gone some four years past his prediction in becoming a world heavyweight champion and his attitude has changed by the day along the way, but he’s certainly kept his name to the fore, even though he has given many lacklustre performances in the ring. Along the way the press helped to make him a hate figure, the boxing crowds turned against him, they’ve jeered booed and even laughed when he met Michael Sprott for the first time and was flattened on the canvas. But Harrison showed real guts in a return fight with Sprott in March this year when trailing on points going into the 12th and last round and hampered by torn ligaments in his right arm, he knocked Sprott out cold with a thunderous left hook. If he did the same to David Haye and grabbed his world title belt, there would be many red faces in boxing and he has the tools to do it.

Emma claims Atalaya win Showjumping

A historic win for the Sur T

enerife Sur turned up on

Friday night as massive underdogs, playing the multiple league and cup champions Central Sport.

Sur started off well, working hard to close down play and looking to move the ball quickly. Alan Clarke had his work cut out marking their play maker Nº9. Sur gave away a free kick and didn’t stand on it and before they knew it were a goal down. They went out for the second half to get something out of the game, then disaster struck, 2:0.

oung English rider Emma Rowe continued her run of success in local jumping competitions by claiming first place on day two of the Atalaya Club’s national 1.10m event (Group V), staged as part of the September fiestas in La Laguna.

14-year-old Emma, who lives outside Granadilla and trains at the Fañabé riding school, beat current Canarian age-group champion Laura González to lift the prize with a clear round on her mare, Oriane de Lestrade. The win made up for the disappointment of the Canarian Championships at the end of August, when former Wingate pupil Emma missed out narrowly on a podium finish over the three days. It also marked her tenth victory in different competitions this year since March, including a clean sweep at Fañabé in early August. Emma and her Mum Nicky travelled up from the south to the Atalaya Club, near Tenerife North Airport, with Juan Carlos Díaz, also from the Fañabé stables, who picked up a first prize also with his horse Casio in one of the other heights.

Honour for Canarian ref Basketball

Central Sport thought they had it won and took a few key players off. Sur brought on Darren Chamberlain and Alan Hopkins. The former would prove his worth taking a cross from Scott Beasley and scoring. Five minutes later Rob Richmond broke down the left and the ball landed on Chamberlain’s trusty left boot, and he smashed it into the top corner. Central Sports now bombarded the Sur defence with stand-in keeper Jordan Stoddart keeping the Sur safe, then with three minutes left to play, one last free kick was awarded to Sur. Joel Mortimer whipped in a peach to the back post, it was whipped straight across the box by Jamie for what seemed like eternity as the slow motion Steve Tomblin ran in to bury the winner. The Sur weathered the last few minutes to win a historic cup game and will hopefully now go on to win the group. Every player was excellent but keeper Jordan Stoddart was man of the match.

anarian basketball referee Juan Carlos Arteaga was given the honour of being part of the three-man team that refereed the World Championships Final between the United States and host country Turkey.

The call-up came out of the blue for Arteaga, who was not among the favourites to whistle at the big game but had clearly impressed FIBA officials with his handling of other matches at the tournament. The Canarian joined Brazil’s Jesús Maranho and Italian Luigi Lamonici on centre stage for the Final, which the US won easily. “I would have liked to have been excluded from the ‘possibles’ since that would have meant Spain had reached the Final but it was not to

Season takes shape Pepsi FC have had a terrific season so far

de cotta mckenna & santafé English Lawyers and Spanish Abogados

eams from two Soccer Experience leagues, the Masters and the Over 35s are just beginning to find their feet. The battle for positions is really starting to heat up even though it is early days.

Masters league summary Tenerife Warriors have picked up a win over the past two weeks and with some new signings captain Eduardo can see the improvement in his side already. With so few games played this season it really still could be won by anybody, with only a couple of wins separating the top six teams, this season is just starting to get exciting!

Championship league summary Pepsi FC have had a terrific season thus far but the big result of the week came from Oliver’s who managed to hold the ever improving Linekers team to a 2:2 draw, a great result for the young team showing real character and maturity throughout the game. This result halted a five game winning streak for Linekers who have the leaders looking over their shoulders. Bar Exiles also have pushed themselves into contention with another terrific win over I.C.Media, Exiles were 5:2 down at the break and based on the first half performance looked set for a heavy defeat, yet Blair’s boys bounced back in great fashion stealing the win in the last few minutes 7:6, a wonderful comeback!

Strategy pays off

The deliberate focus on the club’s young players in putting together the new squad for this season appears to be paying off for Las Palmas. While Tenerife’s new signings, some of them veterans of the 2nd Division, have struggled to find their feet in opening games, over in Gran Canaria the youngsters promoted from the reserves have injected new life into the team. Two wins and a draw left Las Palmas in the top three after three games and local fans believe this year could see an end to the recent doldrums that have plagued the side. Early match-winning performances by Vieira and Vítolo in particular have earned rave reviews and local media are already describing the flair shown on the pitch as a, “Lazarus-type miracle” compared to last season. However, manager Paco Jémez is anxious to keep the rampant enthusiasm under control and insists that it is much too early to tip his youngsters for promotion.

Solidarity

OVER 35s Summary After just two weeks we have yet to see this season gain momentum, but in this early stage Phil’s Scruffy Macs side lead the way with two impressive victories just ahead of champions L.A. Veterans who have a game less and still remain undefeated now into the second season. Darren’s Ironcraft side also look in great shape after winning their opening game 20:1. This shows how much the lads want their previous title back from the grasps of the L.A. Veterans boys. The talk of the teams so far has to be Caña Bar who are undefeated in the first two games this week, defeating Morfitt Rentals one of the real title contenders.

Rucks and rugby

There will be an exhibition pre-season match between the Nandu Rugby club and the team from the University of La Laguna on Saturday September 25th.

The game will be held in Armeñime sports grounds, kick off 2pm, entrance is free of charge, and will be a fun way to pass the afternoon and introduce the sport, which is growing in popularity in Tenerife, to some young potential players:

The ‘Students’, as they are known, negotiated their way through the early rounds with narrow wins against Leganés, Caudal and, in round three, Lucena from Cordoba. The win away to Lucena (0-1) earned Universidad a plum tie against a 1st Division side that has qualified for the Champions League or Europa Cup. The two-leg tie is due to be staged on 27 October and 10 November and the home leg, which is played first, will guarantee badly-needed revenue for the Gran Canaria club. Last year, the pairing of Alcorcón (also Division 2B) and Real Madrid produced the biggest shock in the Cup’s history, when Real went down 4-0 to the juniors and could only manage a 1-0 win at the Bernabéu stadium a fortnight later.

Villa’s miner gesture

New Barcelona striker David Villa’s standing in South America has soared after it was revealed that he had sent two signed jerseys to a group of miners who have been trapped underground in Chile since 5 August. The Spain forward, who is about to take his country’s all-time international scoring record from former Real Madrid idol Raul González, is from a mining family in Asturias and has been following developments in Chile with great concern during the past few weeks. He asked Barcelona to prepare two of his No 7 shirts with the message ‘Chin Up, Miners’ for the 33 men trapped hundreds of feet down a shaft in San José, 830 km north of the capital, Santiago. One of the two shirts is specifically

Villa

for Franklin Lobos, a former professional player turned miner, while the other is to be shared by the other miners. A Villa family source said David, who was pursued by Man Utd and Chelsea in the summer, has never forgotten the tragedy suffered by a mine in his home town of Tuilla when four of his father’s closest friends were killed down the local mine, when he was just eight years old.

Basketball

Gloom for Spain

Spanish basketball has been knocked off its lofty perch for the first time in almost a decade, following the disappointing showing at this month’s World Championships in Turkey. Tipped as favourites for gold with the USA, Spain slumped to early losses in the group phase to France and Lithuania and, although defeating arch-rivals Greece in the last 16, were beaten by Serbia in the quarter finals. The final placing (6th) was the country’s lowest in a major championship for years, and brings to an end a run of World, Olympic and European success which has produced podium finishes on every occasion, including gold in Osaka (World Championships 2006), silver in Beijing 2008 and European gold in 2009 and silvers in 2003 and 2007. The disappointment in Turkey served to confirm the importance to the team of Pau Gasol, who opted to sit out the world championships in order to rest after last year’s gruelling NBA season with the Lakers. The poor showing by second-choice playmaker Raul López has boosted the chances of a return to the squad for Tenerife-born Sergio Rodríguez, who is back in Spain with Real Madrid after a four-year spell in the NBA.

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 626 :: 24/09/2010 - 08/10/2010

11.09.2010 Rayo Vallecano 1:0 CD Tenerife Rayo Vallecano, located in a suburb of Madrid, have their games in one of the easiest grounds to reach for Tenerife followers. There are numerous flights linking the Island with Madrid and the Vallecas Stadium is connected by the Metro from the airport. Of course the main problem in Spanish football is not knowing the match day or kick off time until roughly eight days before! This may be okay if you are jumping on a coach but having to arrange flights can be difficult and expensive. This season we have the added pain of Friday night matches in the second division thanks to the new television deal, meaning matches could be played on a Friday evening, Saturday afternoon/evening, Sunday morning at 11am or a Sunday afternoon. Around 200 Tenerife fans did make the trip but after the afternoon’s effort by the team they probably wish they hadn’t. I was one of the fans in Madrid for the game and with a small group of fellow Armada Sur Fan Club members we headed straight from the airport to the players’ hotel to wish the team luck. The players looked very tense and serious as they left the hotel foyer and jumped onto their team coach. They gladly posed for photos and spoke with fans but you just had a feeling that things were not right. We followed the team bus in a taxi the 20km to the south of Madrid and the Vallecas area which is located in a working class suburb of the capital. After finding a bar to watch West Ham vs. Chelsea on the television we mingled with the Rayo fans with quite a few of them pledging their allegiance to West Ham as their English team because of their working class roots. The game itself was easily forgettable. Key defender Marc Bertran struggled with a hamstring injury and JuanLu Hens had to fill in the right back position, throwing the game plan out (did manager Arconada have one?). During the first half Rayo Vallecano dominated the play and Sergio Aragoneses in the Tenerife goal pulled off some fantastic saves. The blanquiazules lacked rhythm and the only positive point at half-time was the 0-0 scoreline. The second half was not much better and the travelling fans just prayed that perhaps if

Things can only get better CD Tenerife

By Chris Todd

we can just hold on Nino may be able to score the winner from a rare half chance. Rayo Vallecano looked the most likely to break the deadlock but as time ticked away and the sun set over the backdrop of Madrid, I think most blanquiazules would have settled for a draw. With minutes remaining Rayo produced a final onslaught on the Tenerife goal and managed to score the only goal of the match through Juli. That moment really did sum up the season so far. To be honest it was everything the home outfit deserved and if we had snatched a point it would have been unfair. After the game we headed to the players’ coach and I briefly spoke with CD Tenerife President Miguel Concepción. I told him “We have to do something about this” and he agreed. Another away trip following the blanquiazules to the mainland and another winless trip! That makes it twenty one with only one victory (and that is when we gained promotion in 2009 and only needed a point!). As a post script, the seven hour delay on the flight back to Tenerife would not have mattered in the slightest if we had won.

18.09.2010 CD Tenerife 0:2 Celta Vigo One of the worst afternoons in the Heliodoro Stadium’s history. Everyone realised that manager Arconada was a ‘dead man walking’ going into the

match and with the on-going tensions there was really only one outcome to this game. Some pundits hinted that the players wanted the boss out and their play would show that, even if subconsciously. Some sections of the crowd held a five minute no-cheering protest at the start of the game against the poor run but the general atmosphere was in favour of the team with a ‘lets see’ attitude. Celta Vigo had enjoyed a positive start to the campaign winning two out of their three games and they were in luck to be playing the blanquiazules at this time. The visitors took the lead on 13 minutes after a clumsy tackle by Pablo Sicilia led to a penalty which was transformed by Trashorras, an ex-Las Palmas player (to rub it in even more). The crowd grew restless and the players lacked the confidence to make a mark on their game. Think of England in the World Cup 2010. Celta were 0-2 up after 25 minutes after the infamous ‘zonal marking’ system fiercely defended by Arconada failed to work again and Catalá headed into the goal with ease. It was a shocking first half display by the blanquiazules. Substitutions were made at half-time with Daniel Kome and Mikel Alonso taking to the field and at last Tenerife rallied and threatened the Celta goal. It certainly was not the flowing football we were accustomed to, it was more individual players like Nino, Alonso and Kome showing some class but chances were few and far between. Even when Tenerife were awarded a penalty they could not score. Dani Kome,

with the Celta keeper already committed, chipped his spot kick onto the bar and the ball was cleared. It was always going to be one of those days. The rest of the game will only be remembered by the chants from the 14,400 crowd against the manager, the director of football Santiago Llorente (who brought in the new management team) and the President Miguel Concepción. The deafening chants for ex-boss Oltra to return as manager echoed across the stadium as the game petered out. On an up-beat note to finish, CD Tenerife, despite all the current problems, is a football club on the rise. Record season tickets sold, excellent attendances, the club debt has been reduced considerably and there is still a lot of season to be played. The only way is up!
