he Canarian government has taken the first steps towards the removal of the giant cages used for T fish-farming off the coast of Los Cristianos.

Criticised as an unnecessary eye-sore by the tourist sector and firmly opposed by traditional fishermen, the circular cages have been the subject of heated dispute in recent years. The government has now served formal notice to the company awarded the licence to install them a decade ago, in some cases with EU funding, that the licence will be withdrawn due to the lack of activity. “Many of the cages have been abandoned and are literally falling apart, with parts washing up dangerously on the shore” said one local fisherman.

The firm responsible has been given less than two weeks to give its explanations before a final decision is taken.

Schools out for summer

J

ust in time for the summer solstice, June 21st, temperatures began to rise and while it might have got just a little bit too hot for a few days, with the end of the month registering a mini heatwave, things cooled down as schools closed their doors and the kids began their summer holidays.

But it’s not just all about sun, sea and sand, though those bits are nice too. In this issue of Island Connections we begin a series of summer specials, with a focus on golf this fortnight, as well as listing a range of summer camp options for the kids in our What’s On section.

So chill out and cool down, let the kids burn off their excess energies in summer activities while you relax into the next two months of summertime in the Canary Islands, where the living is easy…

Living legends in Tenerife

T

hey came, they saw and listened, and they were quite definitely conquered.

On the last day of the Strarmus Festival in Tenerife hundreds of people turned up at the Magma Arte & Congresos centre to see some living legends from the world of space pay homage to Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, what that meant and what has happened since. Bill Anders, captain of the Apollo 8 flight, told the conference that “but for Sputnik and Gagarin there would never have been an Apollo programme.

This was a hugely international event, with international stars from the world of space travel; names that would have huge resonance in Russia joined heroes from NASA in the auditorium, they joked together, laughed through translators, shared similar experiences, and, importantly, listened. “This Island has ever before seen such

a constellation of personalities so important in the history of humanity, such as Neil Armstrong, Jim Lovell, Bill Anders, Charlie Duke, Victor Gorbatko and Yuri Baturin”, commented Alexei Leonev. The event was presented by Veronika Borovik, the president of the Sovershenno Secretno Information and Publishing Group.

The man who perhaps listened most was one who could have been forgiven for sailing through the four day event as one of the top headliners, only making token appearances as he fulfilled his ‘star’ billing. A man who is said to travel little these days. But when Neil Armstrong spoke to the delighted audiences in the Magma, the man who made that “huge step for mankind” on the moon so many years ago, what was more than obvious was that he had spent his time here listening to what was being said and rather than sticking to his prepared speech

wanted to share with us “what had been learned at Starmus”.

In an address that was thoughtful and gently humorous he looked back to 54 years ago, to the International Geophysical Year, when scientists were analysing the earth and the parallel development taking place as high performance rockets were being developed for military use. That progressed in both the then Soviet Union and the USA to the launching of man made satellites into space, and, he said, the fact that two things happened almost simultaneously, “made the placing of human beings into space possible.

The velocity needed to escape earth could finally be achieved.

However so far only 24 people that we know of have achieved “escape velocity” he said.

“In the 21st century they say they can work to increase that speed by the power of 100 to get to the nearest star, Alpha Centauri, but that will still take

Referring to contributions throughout the conference, he said that “Dr Brian May properly asked ‘should we go’? He selected 10 of man’s least admirable qualities, and asked if we want to place human shortcomings throughout the solar system. The answer is no.” Armstrong said he has “had the privilege of seeing the earth from above…seeing meteorites, shooting stars, gigantic thunderstorms that look like huge mushrooms” over the earth. “If I was the captain of a space ship approaching earth and saw these same signs and evidence of tsunamis, earthquakes, etc….I might say no, this planet is not for me…Mr Spock, warp 5 please”. Armstrong added that we humans are not ready to govern other parts of the universe if we cannot govern ourselves with enough predictability, but his hope was that this century will be one in which we advance and improve the “human character”, and then we might be qualified to “go forth”.

Cosmonaut Viktor Gorbatko then presented the Yuri Gagarin medal to a number of guests, including Brian May, the director of Starmus Garik Israelian, scientists Jill Tarter and Richard Dawkins, the young Kathryn Gray who discovered the supernova 2010lt, the director of the IAC, Canarian representatives Ricardo Melchior, Flora Marrero and Rafael Dolado.

The week long event ended with a concert in the Magma

65 generations to get there”. So, said Armstrong, “the concept of interacting with cosmic society is still difficult – we are under God’s quarantine regulations”, he added.

Starmus in Brief >>

The prisoners

Williams scores hit with ‘perfect society’ theory

A

mid all the high-brow science imparted at the pioneering Starmus conference of astronomers, astronauts and astrophysicists in the Hotel Abama recently was a ver y down to earth explanation of ‘why we do what we do’ by Bob Williams, one of the world’s most distinguished scholars in space research.

Called on by one sceptical journalist to justify the massive spending on space projects, particularly the search for life forms millions of miles away, when basic needs for many people are not met on earth, Williams surprised the audience by arguing that arguably perfect societies which have all their essential needs catered for do exist. “I know of many places on earth where everyone has access to food, clothing, a roof over their heads and round the clock medical attention: they are called prisons. But when you open the gates, the rest of the population does not rush in to join those already there. Quite the opposite.

There must be a reason!” explained Williams, who is president of the International Astronomical Union.

The scientist then went on to explain why humans are

differentiated from other beings due to their curiosity to expand their knowledge and satisfy their intellectual curiosity: “We don’t, strictly speaking, need art, music, dance and other forms of culture to survive as a species.

But we do these things, and investigate science, because they help us realise out potential as humans”.

Williams’ explanation came a close second to the other bizarre ‘journalist moment’ of the conference, which was a puzzling question to Claude Nicollier, Switzerland’s first astronaut and a household name in the space community for his hazardous service and repair missions to the Hubble telescope.

Nicollier was asked by one repor ter “what question have you never been asked but would like to have been asked, and what would be your answer to it?”

No room for God!

Dawkins courts controversy

R

ichard Dawkins, author of the controversial book on evolution, The Selfish Gene, courted controversy once again during his media appearance at one of the Starmus conferences in the Hotel Abama.

The English scientist, showed why he has been dubbed ‘Dar win’s Rottweiler’ of late with a heated defence of Dar winian evolution, in which he said there was “no room for God or for other supernatural theories” to account for unexplained phenomena.

Dawkins predicted that some day beings with artificial intelligence could well be created but he queried whether their emotions and feelings would be given equal status to those of humans. “When we unplug a machine, a robot for in-

stance, can we be certain it wants to be disconnected?” he asked.

The biologist also came out in favour of continuing the search for other life forms out in space, although he doubted that, due to the distances involved, current generations will ever hear the responses to signals transmitted from earth.

What will they think of next?

T

he British Embassy’s Facebook page has just attracted its 1,000th follower. Digital Communications Of ficer, Ben Giddings explains why British residents and visitors are signing up.

Facebook is not a medium you would immediately associate with finding out useful information from the Embassy.

Developments in the Arab Spring protests, maybe. The latest gossip, almost certainly.

But news on the British Government? Mmm….

“When I tell my friends that the British Embassy in Spain has a Facebook page,” says Ben Giddings, Digital Communications Of ficer, “they usually look at me in a slightly puzzled way as if something just doesn’t connect. But actually using Facebook to connect with the Embassy makes perfect sense.

“The British Embassy and the Consulates across Spain are a resource for nearly one million Brits who live here and around 15 million who holiday here every year. That’s a lot of people. And whilst some people visit our website, many still don’t know just how much useful information is there .

“With social media we can go out and find people and give them the information they’re looking for, instead of them coming to our website.

More and more people are on Facebook, young and old. So it makes complete sense that we should be there too. So we’ve gone ahead and built a Facebook page.”

So how have British residents and visitors reacting to an Embassy on Facebook?

“We’re working hard to let people know we exist”, says Ben. “And we’re learning what people want to hear from us. It took us a few months to attract our first 500 followers, but only a few weeks to get the next 500.

A thousand followers might seem small compared to many Facebook pages, but we’re gaining momentum rapidly, which shows people are finding our Facebook page very useful.

“Followers to our page get the latest news from the Embassy and the Foreign Office, notifications of events like consular open days, up to the minute travel advice, news on property issues, and we can also point people in the direction of things like passport information and the wealth of advice we offer about living in Spain. That’s a lot of information that’s delivered directly to you, so there’s no need to go out hunting for it.

“I also think people are attracted to the fact that we are being open, and inviting people

Ben Giddings with the new Facebook page

to talk to us. The old days of Embassies with closed doors are over. “ So is Facebook a chat room where anyone can go and talk to Embassy staff? “Yes, we’re committed to communicating directly with our followers. If you post a reasonable question, we’ll do our best to respond to it as quickly as we can. But we want to build an area where people don’t just talk to us, they

talk to each other. Embassies have always acted as places that, put like-minded people in touch with each other – that’s how diplomacy began. All we’re doing is moving it to the next level and taking it online.

“More than anything, our growing Facebook success is showing that people no longer see us as a faceless organisation – forgive the pun. We are a team of people, we’re approachable,

and we’re finding new ways to help British Nationals wherever we can,” Ben concluded.

fter prolonged speculation and rumour, we now know that only one of La Gomera’s six municipal councils has a new leader as a result of the May elections.

The five municipalities of Alajeró, Hermigua, San Sebastián, Vallehermoso and Agulo continue as before, apart from a few minor personnel changes, with the same mayors heading the same local councils.

Manuel Plasencia in Alajeró, Solveida Clemente in Hermigua, Jaime Noda in Vallehermoso and Néstor López in Agulo stay on as council leaders for another four years and were elected with a clear majority. Ángel Castilla continues as chief in capital San Sebastián, but heads a coalition council, having failed to win by a clear majority.

Results of the election in the sixth municipality, Valle Gran Rey, were uncertain until the ver y last minute. Confusion caused by the extraordinary manoueverings of the last incumbent, Ruymán García, in his attempts to hang on in there, as reported in this newspaper, had left La Gomera’s tourist town with no legal result.

Whilst his Big Boss, mentor and erstwhile protector at island council level has been re-elected for yet another term of office, the protegé in Valle Gran Rey is most definitely out. In a last public act, which took place at the swearing in of the new council, he foretold trouble for the town that chose to wish him a not overly fond farewell.

The function room was full and crowds there to witness the entertainment were rewarded for their patience as outgoing mayor García took the microphone and foretold doom and disaster for an “abandoned Valle Gran Rey” without himself at the helm to guide it through the stormy waters of the impending disasters he went on to list.

He started by protesting that his party had actually won the elections and maintained that

CabildoNews

Presidential address

At the election of the new Tenerife Cabildo, returning president Ricardo Melchior said that “it is always an honour and a responsibility to be a member of this insular body, and by taking office this afternoon we are beginning a new phase in which we must, more than ever, work with courage, unity and a wider vision to see our way out of the adverse situation which we have all had to face”.

The new Cabildo is made up of members of the Coalición Canarias and the Partido Socialista Obrero de España.

The ceremony was watched all over the world thanks to the wonders of new technology, and the president greeted those watching from afar. “We don’t forget the many Tinerfeños and Canarians in general who had to emigrate but keep in constant contact with our island”.

People politics!

Cheers and tears Wood for the trees

By Barbara Belt

he should rightfully continue as mayor, since he had clearly been voted back in.

Since the whole town is awash with accusation and police and court intervention on corrupt practices such as bought votes, registering nonexistent voters and manipulated postal votes, the audience was understandably stunned. Incredulous gasps. Could he really have said that?

Undaunted, and totally unabashed, the ousted mayor went on to threaten the electorate, foretell financial ruin for all, list his many achievements and insult his successor, Miguel Angel Hernández, calling him “a beast of burden”, unfit for public service.

The result was instant uproar: hoots, howls, laughter.

Ex-mayor Esteban Bethencourt, chairman of the event and suitably deadpan, stepped in to remind García to “...confine himself to the matter in hand”, and to ask everyone for calm.

Tumultuous applause greeted this simple request.

When García defected from Bethencourt’s party three years ago, subsequently introducing a motion of censure to oust his former boss and become

mayor himself, the library below the function room, in best dramatic tradition, was full of Guardia Civil standing by in case of violence. The hall was similarly packed and it was all very exciting, with hecklers ‘escorted’ out.

Happily, people seem to have got the hang of the safety in numbers idea now. If everyone heckles, laughs, hoots and shouts, it’s OK. Police can’t remove an entire audience.

Only the two local policemen were on hand to keep order this time and no evictions were even attempted.

Major uproar broke out afresh when the ex-mayor mentioned the word ‘amor’. Incredibly, on he ploughed, obviously unconscious of his much discussed fame as a ladies man. An ex-trainee priest and married father, his unwelcome, graphic text messages to the usually ample ladies he admires have caused widespread mirth for some time. The fact that the Big Boss had to prevent him from naming his current favourite as deputy mayor is, likewise, common knowledge.

Hoots, shouts, catcalls, cackling laughter.

Mayor before last, Esteban Bethencourt, who has been holding his own against cancer for some years, then spoke of his “extreme satisfaction at surviving to witness the traitor’s downfall” and admitted the sweet prospect of revenge had kept him going throughout.

This was good, dramatic stuff of novela (South American soap opera) calibre. The thrilled audience lapped it up.

TV crews raced up and down the packed hall trying to film the erupting audience, many of whom had celebrated San Antonio by dancing the previous night away and were in carefree condition.

New mayor, headmaster Miguel Angel Hernández, demonstrated the use of both a working brain and sense of humour in his first official speech, thanking the ex-mayor for being instrumental in, “... finally forcing previously opposing parties to join forces just to get him out”. Laughter and cheers.

Then he endeared himself to the crowd by shedding a few tears. Whether they were of joy, or terror at the prospect of spending the next four years in such circumstances, remains unclear.

Tenerife agricultural councillor José Joaquín Bethencourt, accompanied by the director of the Fundación Banco Santander, Borja Baselga, paid a recent visit to the zones where the Fundación, under the technical supervision of the Canarian Ornithological society and the collaboration of the Cabildo and the Global Nature foundation, are working. The project is to reforest the zone as well as encourage the repopulation by local flora.

Bethencourt and Baselga visited La Tahonilla, the Finca Ecomuseo in El Tanque and the Finca Boquín in Icod de los Vinos, where experts were on hand to take them through progress in each area to date. Bethencourt expressed his belief in the huge importance of public/private partnerships in the defence of the environment, citing this work as an example to be followed in the future.

Summer promotions

Turismo de Tenerife won’t be taking holidays, instead they are busy with a series of summer promotions aimed at potential holidaymakers in the Spanish peninsula and beyond.

The drive to attract national tourists lasts a month and is being carried out in conjunction with tour operators, and via the Internet, the national press and familiarisation trips to the islands for those in the trade.

The promotional team will be working with Travelplan, Orizonia (part of Viajes Iberia and Iberojet) and Viajes El Corte Inglés and place ads in El Mundo, El País, La Razón, La Vanguardia, El Periódico and ABC. Tenerife is being pushed as an ideal spot for those who like sun and sea as well as warm temperatures, nature and tranquillity. Special mention is also being given to Puerto de la Cruz, a destination much favoured by national visitors, particularly since recent renovations in the destination.

fter pulling out some time ago for financial reasons and to concentrate on the service to the Spanish mainland, the ferr y company has recommenced its crossings between Tenerife and Gran Canaria, with an onward connection to Morro Jable in Fuerteventura most days. With single tickets costing as little as €6.25, the company says it expects to prise many customers away from its competitors, Armas and Fred Olsen, on the busy route between the two most important islands.

The crossings, which began at the end of June, are being served by the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria car ferry.

Allegations

Rivero hits back A

campaign by Tenerife daily El Día to bring down Canarian president Paulino Rivero was stepped up just hours after he signed the power-sharing deal with the PSOE party which keeps him in office for another term.

In the latest allegations to be published by the paper, Rivero’s wife and her sister are accused of setting up a secret company over a decade ago in Mexico with a start-up capital of €20 million. Details

of the alleged company were published by Kanarileaks, the Canarian version of whistleblower website Wikileaks, and El Día has investigated the case further in its acrimonious battle between the paper’s head, José Rodríguez, and the regional president.

In an opinion column on its front page, El Día called for a formal investigation into the firm, called Mountain’s River and Co. Limited and apparently administered from Gibraltar, and the origins of the funds

used to set it up. It also published what it said was a copy of the deed drawn up in Mexico through the Spanish Consulate General’s Office.

The paper urged the Canarian Parliament to postpone the investiture of Rivero until the matter is fully clarified. Within days, Rivero went public with a denial of the allegations and produced a certificate from the Consulate stating that no such deed existed. He also vowed to take legal action over the publication of the ‘fake deed’.

Norman thanked members for all their hard work during the year, and the public and local businesses for their continued support. Despite membership being down on its heyday, Tenerife Sur Lions were now ranked as one of the highest in the Spain district in terms of cash generated and distributed to worthy causes. He went on to say, whilst the children’s holidays continue to be the Lions flagship event he wanted to remind people of the many other causes helped in terms of donations and practical support. Other key projects during the year had included the collection of spectacles for third world countries, the introduction of bio-degradable bags at the two shops, and a positive financial response to national and international appeals.

Father remanded

Handicapped daughter abuse

A man from San Juan de la Rambla in Tenerife has been remanded to Tenerife II prison after his 38-yearold mentally handicapped daughter came forward a few weeks ago to tell how he allegedly abused her for over 20 years.

The 61-year-old man, who has already served a six-yearterm for a similar offence, was questioned by a local judge after care workers at a special needs centre attended by the woman contacted police with disturbing accounts of the alleged abuse, which is said to have continued up until days before the arrest was made.

Police sources say the accounts are ‘very credible’ and are backed by a forensic examination of the daughter a short time after the last episode of sexual abuse occurred. The case has shocked the tight-knit community in San Juan.

The woman has been taken into permanent care pending a definitive decision on her situation.

Accident

Infant badly hurt in car crash

A two-month old baby was in a serious condition in hospital after being hurt in a motorway car crash in Tenerife.

Emergency services were called to deal with the accident on the TF1 near Güímar at 4.30pm on June 23rd. Witnesses say the car in which the baby was travelling crashed and overturned at the barrier separating the north and southbound lanes and ended up on the wrong side of the motorway. The baby suffered extensive head injuries and had to be cut free from the wrecked car by firemen.

The incident seriously disrupted traffic on the motorway during the rescue operation and subsequent clean-up.

s we go to press the trial of Stepy Johnson is due to start in Santa

Cruz.

Stepy has been on bail, under a form of house arrest in Tenerife since Janauary 2008 in relation to a murder case, though he has of late been allowed back to the UK for short health and business related visits.

Stepy was involved in an incident which saw a young Moroccan man lose his life, Stepy suffered a horrific head injury, and a number of arrests.

The tragic story started in the Patch area in South Tenerife in the early hours of the morning on January 12th 2008, when Stepy says he went to the aid of a Briton who was being attacked. During the ensuing melee he was hit over the head, staggered away to get help, and was arrested on the street by police. He was subsequently accused of the murder of a 25 year old Moroccan involved in the incident, and was released on bail. Given that he owned a proper ty here (a holiday apar tment in Playa de Las Américas), and had a clean record both here and in the UK, the courts granted bail, though his passport was handed over and he has been signing on since then twice monthly, apart from his permitted visits home.

Throughout this time Stepy says he was “never tempted to do a runner....I want to clear

my name”, he told Island Connections.

We first spoke to Stepy at the start of 2010 and have kept in touch as he has struggled to make some sense of the Spanish judicial system and the delay in getting his case to court here in Tenerife. Just a few weeks ago he was finally given a court date, July 4th, but just as his wife Joan was preparing to come out

it appeared to be cancelled.

However the latest news we have is that the case is back on and a jury trial will begin on the first Monday in July.

Stepy will be tried for murder, along with one other defendant who has been in prison since the incident and a third man who is accused of tr ying to help that other man escape.

However all three have their

own individual legal representation and will be presenting their defences individually.

With just a week to go to the trail date Stepy told Island Connections that he has faith in the Spanish justice system and believes he will be exonerated. “I’m just looking forward to going to court to clear my name…I’ve been waiting for this day for a very long time”.

They have plenty of hot and cold snacks and very generous happy hours from 10am to 4pm serving a pint for €1. Just around the corner is the Green Corner Bar, which also has a large open terrace to relax in or a covered area should you wish for a bit of shade. Great offers at various times of the day are available here and there is a splendid view of the church and its square.

From the church square continue walking downhill towards the Marina. At the top of the street leading toward the Marina is the Katrin Dolphin boat office. The refurbished wooden cutter sails twice daily to see the whales and dolphins. Please take note this boat donates some of your ticket money to the Save The Whale charity.

At the Marina you can view the many yachts and boats harboured there. There are a

The restaurant has arguably the best views around and is only a five to 10 minute walk or a €3 taxi ride up the hill, and well worth it. You can see the cliffs and look down to the village and bus stop from its lovely terrace.

A Mamma’s mouth-watering pizza can be made to order with any choice of topping and the more adventurous can have a go at cooking their own! Other specialities are fresh meat and fish dishes from either the set or a la carte menus. An additional thanks you to Mr Stevie Warnock for his support to the village of Los Gigantes. I am sure most locals are aware of his first class building and maintenance services. His advert can be found on page 39.

Democracia Real Ya

‘Personal cover’ for protestors

The organisers of a peaceful protest staged outside the Tenerife Cabildo as the new corporation was being sworn in say the police presence was excessive and a waste of public money.

Around 50 officers, most of them from the National Police’s Riot Squad, stood guard outside the building to prevent incidents. However, since around the same number of demonstrators turned up to air, among other grievances, their discontent at the political wheeling and dealing conducted to form a working majority and a general dissatisfaction at the way politicians conduct themselves, the organisers say each one virtually received individual treatment. “It was way over the top and most of the officers were not wearing their force badges with their ID numbers on their shirts, which they are supposed to do at all times”, said a spokesperson for the protestors, who are part of the nationwide 15M movement.

The decision to pull down the local Catholic church in Alcalá was taken, according to the bishop, based on technical information received by the diocise advising that the church was “on the point of collapsing and falling into a public footpath, putting pedestrians in danger”.

The church has actually been closed to the public for six years.

Diocesan economic spokersperson Víctor Oliva said that he was taken aback at the reaction of some local residents to the demolition and said that many members of the congregation had known that the plan was to pull the building down and in the long term build a new church.

“The architect in charge of the Project has met with the new church commission on a number of occasions and has outlined what was proposed, stressing that the old church had no historical value”, said Oliva.

The neighbourhood association was critical of the decision to destroy the building before reaching an agreement on an alternative location for the church and the congregation.

Tenerife Nursing & Care S.L

TLC – Tenerife’s Loving Carers!

S

cottish ladies Ann and Sheila have just left the island of Tenerife after an extended stay with some mixed memories – but they will be back thanks to the fine care they found through Sally Thompson and her Tenerife Nursing & Care S.L team.

Unfortunately their stor y is a sad one, but with a happy ending. Friends for over 25 years, Ann and Sheila are from Lochinver in the Scottish north west highlands. They share a house and as Sheila had a stroke a number of years ago, are helped by visiting carers on a regular basis.

So when they decided to come on holiday to Tenerife they, naturally enough, needed to engage one of their carers to accompany them. Ann uses a walker to get around and therefore can’t push Sheila’s wheelchair, so the carer they paid to join them, someone who has cared for them over a

(L-R) Ann, Sally and Sheila on the last day of their extended holiday

long period of time, was there to help with their mobility needs as well as packing and unpacking. They were booked, through Cosmos, to stay in Parque de la Paz hotel. It was an all inclusive deal, and they paid for their carer.

However all didn’t go according to plan and after a

week the carer simply upped and left, leaving our two ladies abandoned to their fate in their room.

They were stuck, without food, for days. Without anyone to help they couldn’t leave their room, couldn’t get to the restaurant, and couldn’t even work out the phone system to

call for help. The carer didn’t inform anyone that she was leaving the ladies on their own.

It was only when the cleaner found them on their own that she understood they were in difficulties and contacted the reception who told Cosmos who were on the scene immediately to help out. The Cosmos

representatives’ first plan was to get them on a flight home the same night, but Ann and Sheila were both “absolutely shattered” in their own words, and were in no state to travel.

Enter Sally Thompson and her crew of qualified carers, who had been alerted to the emergency by Cosmos, and were on hand within hours to offer help.

“Cosmos were super”, said Ann, “they couldn’t have been better and kept coming to see us until the end of our scheduled stay”, in their new accommodation, courtesy of Sally.

Sally runs Tenerife Nursing & Care S.L, a care and nursing facility in Los Cristianos for short term stays and long term residents and was able to offer the ladies new care based accommodation immediately. They were offered food and ‘TLC’, “we’ve got plenty of that”, says Sally, medical attention (Sheila is diabetic) and what was supposed to be a short stop-gap stay before they went home after their two week stay extended into a seven week holiday for the ladies.

They are already planning to come back to go on a cruise with a group from the care home and are even thinking of asking Sally to help them get an apartment in the same complex so they would have on-hand care when needed.

“We’ve had a great time, gone

11

on trips, celebrated Sheila’s birthday” says Ann, and they have been to Loro Park, Jungle Park, shopping, and to Chio for a barbecue. Sally also helped them sort out their financial arrangements with the bank at home, and cer tainly the feeling we got was that if they hadn’t had to return home to make sure all was well back in Lochinver, Ann and Sheila would probably have been applying for their resident permits already!

“We would never get care like this back in the UK”, Ann stated.

Sally told us that as a result of this incident (and similar call outs) many hotels and operators are now placing Sally’s facility on their books for visitors who may need that extra level of care. Sally’s team of 24 includes fully trained nurses and carers and while their working language would be English they have frequently been called to hotels to help with visitors from Belgium, Russia, Germany and beyond. And as Tenerife Nursing & Care S.L is a registered company many visitors will find that they can claim some of the costs back through their travel insurance, as Ann and Sheila are planning to do.

So a good news story for the island and for Ann and Sheila, who will be back ver y soon indeed.

Amarilla Golf hugely improved

SummerGolfS

Our sometimes resident amateur golfer Brian Amarilla Golf

SAN MIGUEL de ABONA Tel.> 922 730 319 www.amarillagolf.es

A

s we teed off there was a threat of rain in the air, which fortunately failed to materialise and we were treated to a typically pleasant, partly cloudy day with a light breeze. Perfect golfing conditions - especially for Amarilla, where strong wind can seriously test the skill (or lack of it) of the average golfer like myself (struggling to play off a handicap of 18).

For those readers who gave up on Amarilla a few years ago because of the bare, bone hard fairways and generally poor condition of the course, I would urge you to give it another try - What a transformation!

The first hole is pretty straightforward, but could lull you into a false sense of security for what is to come. Hole 2 has an elevated tee to a target green below with bunkers to the right and front left guarding the green. This is followed by a Par 5 where you cannot see the green from the tee.

The fairway is narrow with a barranco to either side plus fairway bunkers. There is then a good walk to Hole 4, a reasonably challenging Par 4.

Hole 5 is an especially memorable Par 3, as your tee shot must carry right across the rocky sea inlet to the green.

The sixth hole presents serious challenges for those who veer off to the right, where a barranco lies in wait to gobble up wayward shots.

The seventh, eighth and ninth holes were closed for a few years and have now reopened in pristine condition with lush fairways. I particularly enjoyed the Seventh with its double dog-leg fairway.

Hole 8 is also a challenge presenting a bunker guarding the green, before the barrancolined ninth fairway brings an excellent front nine to an end.

A new underpass now takes you from the tenth green to eleventh tee and returns you safely from thirteenth green to fourteenth tee.

The eleventh is well worth a camera shot with the lovely backdrop of the harbour and the Par 3 12th presents hazards in the form of both barranco and the sea. This is balanced by Hole 14, a relatively short and simple Par 3.

The original final three holes have been closed and used for residential development. They have been replaced by three superb new holes including the 16th - a challenging Par 5 and the new stroke index 1. I had my best drive of the day on the 17th, but the 18th, too, is memorable - a 174-metre Par 3 needing a good tee shot to clear the barranco and pitch on the green.

Although this course is perhaps still the most challenging in Tenerife, apart from Abama, it now represents a fair test of the golfer’s ability.

Amarilla is certainly the most improved golf course in Tenerife, with pristine, lush fairways and the true fast but receptive greens.

Liberty Seguros: Insurance

Special

n Ferris guides us through some of Tenerife’s courses.

Pearly Grey

Ingane Yami Charity Golf Tournament

A

fter a hugely successful event last year the Hotel Perla Gris (Pearly Grey) in Callao Salvaje is once again hosting the Ingane Yami Golf Tournament, to be held at the Las Américas Golf Course on Saturday July 16th.

Liberty Golf

Celebrating the ‘Hole-in-One’ with golf insurance W

hile golf is a sport that conjures images of relaxation in the heart of nature, it’s ver y competitive and requires heavy concentration.

Having absolute peace of mind is essential to the game and having the right golf insurance can make it much more enjoyable.

With the summer heat now in full swing and yells of ‘Fore!’ echoing all around, here are a few things to keep in mind before stepping out onto the course:

Golf equipment is expensive

Golf is an expensive sport that can easily set players back a few thousand euros. Woods, irons, putters, golf carts and golf shoes are items of high value and stolen on a daily basis from golf clubs worldwide. Golf bags should never be left unattended but even the most watchful eye can wander.

Thieves often hang around golf courses looking for unattended bags

full of high worth clubs. Experienced thieves cover old, useless clubs with brand new headcovers and swap them with identical ones belonging to an unaware victim. Victims don’t notice they’ve been robbed until they reach for their brand new iron. To avoid this, cover woods and irons with clearly marked, low-end, headcovers to not draw attention.

Injuring yourself hurts more than you think

The hunched-over putting stance combined with the repeated control of fine motor skills and small muscles can lead to soreness and fatigue. Yips aside, any golfer, regardless of ability, can tell you about the sprains and pains endured while trying to perfect that drive. Back, shoulder and wrist pain are the most common for golfers.

Sports medicine and special treatments can be costly. The best golf insurance will cover medical expenses and more.

Injuring others is easier than it seems

Although it seems uncommon, people often get hurt by errant golf balls, thrown clubs and overturned golf carts. With the increased popularity of golf, more and more players, caddies, spectators, motorists’ even adjacent homeowners are suffering injuries.

While the Pros can get away with an apology and autograph, other golfers need to be prepared to cover the medical and/or repair costs of their oblivious victim. While the traditional warning of ‘Fore!’ is still used to warn others of a wayward golf ball, it’s not enough to cover players in case of accidents.

Liberty Golf by Liberty Seguros, the number one expatriate insurance provider in Spain, covers the incidents mentioned above and much more.

Also included with Liberty Golf is ‘Hole-in-one’ coverage, which covers the extra costs involved in celebrating that lucky shot. So, with Liberty,

all golfers have to do is bask in their glory!

More on Liberty Golf • Liberty Golf provides theft coverage when the clubs and equipment are stored with the caddy-master, or at the professional shop in officially recognised Golf Clubs, or while being transported by the insured.

Ingane Yami is a Christian, non profit organisation established in response to the growing AIDS crises in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa (www.inganeyami. com). The charity exists to rescue orphaned and abandoned children trapped in vulnerable circumstances and raise them in a loving family environment in order to restore their lives and realise their full potential to become a future generation of young leaders. The village is being built on 30 acres of land situated in KwaZulu Natal, in the Shongweni Valley area (approximately 45 km from Durban City centre) and has great accessibility and proximity to the communities that are situated close by.

It is lush in natural vegetation, providing freedom and space for children to grow and explore the naturally beautiful environment within the boundaries of the secure village.

As of June 2011 the first homes are nearing completion and will soon be ready for their first occupants.

Pearly Grey’s commitment to this project is long term and the funds we are raising will help contribute towards the completion of the remaining houses and facilities as well as the ongoing maintenance and well being of the village and its occupants.

SummerGolfSpecial Golf del Sur

Real Club de Golf de Tenerife

Fast, receptive greens

Unique in Tenerife

T

his course is unique in Tenerife and a very different but thoroughly enjoyable golfing experience. It is situated 600 metres above sea level in the municipality of Tacoronte, 16 kilometres from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, 24 kilometres from Puerto de la Cruz and only two kilometres from Los Rodeos Airport.

38639 San Miguel de Abona, Tel.> 922 738 170 he Golf Del Sur course was established over 20 years ago. The layout consists of three separate nine-hole courses - North, South, and Links - each unique in their own way and any two combined to provide eighteen holes of very varied and enjoyable golf.

Improvements are constantly being made; for example, over the past few years three holes on the North course have received distance adjustments, two holes on the Links have been totally remodelled to raise the course par to 36 in line with the South and North; and most recently the final two holes of the South have been successfully re-jigged, making it the longest nine holes of the three courses.

In March 2009, the commercial operation of Golf del Sur was taken over by Spanish mainland company Aymerich Golf Management, a leading company in the sector of Golf Course Management with 16 years experience of managing a network of 35 golf courses in Spain and participating in a number of projects in other countries.

The attractive first hole features an elevated tee overlooking gardens and a fairway sloping left to right with green awaiting far below.

Hole 3 has an attractive water hazard which your drive needs to carry, but then the fairway slopes downhill to the green for a Par 5 which low handicappers will reach in two shots. Hole 4 is now a challenging winding Par 5 with both a stream

and a lake guarding the new green. Hole 6 is another hole which has changed for the better. Previously a Par 3 over a valley, you now drive from an elevated tee to a narrow target area and from there dog leg left to the green.

The South course commences with an uphill Par 4 with the fairway running between palm trees on the right and the practice ground to the left. Next is one of my favourite holes in Tenerife.

A long (196 metres off whites) Par 3 with elevated tee and large undulating green completely surrounded by black sand - thus giving an island green effect. An underpass takes you safely under the main access road in to the Golf del Sur conurbation to the fourth tee. Here you need to clear a barranco with your drive before making your approach shot to the elevated green guarded by bunkers.

Barrancos also feature on the Par 5 fifth - giving you the dilemma of laying up with your second shot or going for glory - and the seventh, where your second shot needs to carry the deep hazard running across the approach to the green. The ninth tee has now been moved, which ‘should’ take the road out of play for wayward tee shots. With several new bunkers inserted on the approach to the large green this Par 5 has been made into a far more attractive hole and the longest of the twenty seven at 568 metres.

As always, I found Golf del Sur to be excellently maintained with large, fast but receptive greens and a pleasure to play once again.

EL PEÓN, TACORONTE, Tel.> 922 636 607.

T

On a previous visit I had been fortunate enough to play with Gregorio González, one of the islands leading senior amateur golfers.

This time I enjoyed the enthusiastic company of friend Martin Cahill who, like myself, rated the Real Club as a top class golfing venue, run along traditional British golf club lines, including its very fine clubhouse.

This houses exceptionally luxurious locker room facilities and a wide range of dining options to soothe both aches and hunger pains after play.

Like most member clubs in the UK, restaurant and bar prices are very reasonable.

The main priority of the club is to ensure that its many members enjoy first class facilities and comfort and

can play at any time without needing to reserve a tee-off time. However, visitors are made very welcome Monday to Friday before 12.30, but I would recommend a phone call to avoid disappointment, especially if travelling from the south of the island.

On the first tee we were eased gently into the game with a straightforward uphill Par 4 with elevated green.

The second hole presented much more of a challenge - a long and difficult Par 3 complete with bunkers and a Mackenzie green with a slight rise between the two levels. Hole 3 is an attractive uphill fairway to an elevated green, again guarded by 3 deep bunkers. Hole 4 is a long Par 4 with a narrow entrance to the green. My first birdie opportunity presented itself

at Hole 5, a Par 5 with a narrow fairway. Hole 6 is a short Par 4 but once again with bunkers to contend with. This is followed by a short Par 3 with a pond in front of the green, where I managed a rare birdie. Hole 8 is a downhill fairway with trees and water guarding the green if you approach from the right and a bunker running right across the front of the green. Hole 9 is a Par 4 elevated tee with a long carry over water hazards to the fairway. A snack bar at the ninth provides welcome refreshment.

The back nine commences with a Par 5 stroke index 1 which easily justifies its ranking. I carried my drive to the fairway over water hazards and the next shot requires all but the longest hitters to lay up short of the next set of water hazards, leaving the third shot of some 130 metres to the green. The green on Hole 11 is guarded

by three large bunkers to the left, right and front of the green. All the bunkers are made from fine white silicone sand or from black sands taken from the island coast. Hole 12 is also one of the most difficult holes with an extremely narrow fairway and bunkers in front of the green. A dog leg right features at Hole 13 and Hole 14 is an uphill Par 3 with elevated green.

Hole 15 is a long Par 5 with a gully and rough crossing the fairway. The sixteenth is another long Par 3 with a tee on top of a hill to drive over a valley to the green on top of another hill. Hole 17 is surely one of the most spectacular holes in Tenerife. A strong drive is required from the highly elevated tee to carry over the base of the cliff to the fairway waiting far below.

Finally Hole 18 completes the course with another elevated tee to the fairway leading back to the clubhouse.

Star hole

The 17th.

I highly recommend playing this course because of its unique appeal. The club, established in 1932, is one of the oldest in Spain. The superb greens and manicured fairways turn between Canary pines, laurel and eucalyptuses, making a natural landscape with views of El Teide from the lower level holes and the clubhouse.

n the golf course, you want to look good and feel good. Fashion, combined with comfort and the flexibility to make your swings easy is available from Callaway Golf where

you can find clothing to suit all types of weather, too.

The Callaway Golf range of clothing for men and women gives authentic golf performance influenced by contemporary

style: shirts, shorts and trousers which are pleasingly different. Women’s tops come in various colours and designs in sizes XS to XL, and trousers and shorts in sizes 2 to 16. For the golfing guys, shirts are available in sizes S-XXL, and trousers and shorts in sizes 32 to 44 You can also buy a full range of accessories to add to your comfort and precision including caps, visors, sunglasses, footwear and gloves. Visit your nearest Callaway Golf supplier or buy online at www.callawaygolf.com

It boasts a superb practice area, well equipped pro shop and luxurious locker rooms. The well appointed bar/restaurant and terrace overlooking the eighteenth green provides an attractive option for non golfers to enjoy a leisurely lunch.

The approach to the course is beautiful, with a lake complete with swans between the 10th tee and the 18th green. The first is a good opening hole with water coming into play on the left hand side of the fairway and front left of the green, with bunkers guarding the front right. The second features a dog leg right around a deep gully with water running down the opposite side of the fairway.

A strong drive is required on the third to put you in a position where you can carry the stream running in front of the green with your approach shot. Otherwise you lay up, as I did, leaving a simple wedge shot to the green, which is guarded by steep bunkers.

The fifth is a very difficult Par 3 where you have to carry the entire distance from tee to green over a lake with an ornamental waterfall. The sixth is a 431 metre long hole rated the most difficult Par 4 of the course. Again, the seventh requires a long carry to reach the fairway of this Par 5 over light rough.

The eighth is a 161 metre Par 3 with beautiful gardens forming a hazard on the left of the fairway and the green guarded by bunkers front right and back. This is followed by a right-angled dog leg right with a stream running down the left hand side of the fairway.

The tenth is a very difficult

Par 4, a particularly challenging opening hole if playing the back nine first, which players are often asked to do.

This is followed by a short Par 3 of some 150 metres, the easiest rated hole on the course. At the 12th we waited for a family of swans to cross the fairway before teeing off on this Par 4 with water on the right and two bunkers to the left of the green.

The fourteenth is an easier short Par 4, the challenge being to carry your drive over the lake and negotiate three bunkers in front of the green.

The fifteenth is a very long Par 4, its distance meriting its rating as Stroke Index 2.

This is followed by a fairly straightforward Par 5 with a nice wide fairway with bunkers guarding a sloping green.

The 17th is a challenging Par 4 with the fairway curving right with water running down the whole side of the fairway.

Finally the 18th is a Par 5 with water from 100 metres to the right of the green, attracting the ball like a magnet. The left side offers no safer option with its line of bunkers.

Star Hole

Must be the par 3 fifth for the sheer thrill gained by landing the tee shot on the green, 180 metres over the lake from the tee.

Golf Las Americas has always been maintained in immaculate condition and after playing here in October 2010, I can vouch that this is still the case. The many water hazards feature an array of wildlife such as swans and water foul and peacocks that roam happily around the course and gardens. Of Lucas the very large emu, however, there was no sign. Where has he gone? To enjoy this and other spectacular golf courses in Tenerife, visitors should be prepared to produce a valid handicap certificate.

anarians are predicted to be amongst the smallest spenders in this year’s summer sales, according to a study by the Federación de UsuariosConsumidores Independientes (FUCI). However, other associations are not necessarily in agreement with these predictions.

The Federación de Comercio de Tenerife (Fedeco) sees conditions as “bad”, while the Federación de Áreas Urbanas de Canarias (Fauca) are pointing towards a stabilisation, even a possible slight improve-

ment in sales. Canarians are expected to spend only €42 per person on average in the coming sales, which puts the archipelago in the list of the three communities who spend the least, while the national average is €50 per person, according to FUCI. The secretar y general of Fauca, Abbas Moujir, stressed that the federation “hopes that their prediction is wrong”.

Data from the sector in recent months point to a ray of light at the end of the tunnel, as sales have remained stable, and in some cases have shown a slight increase. Moujir hopes

that, if this tendency is maintained, sales volumes in this year’s summer sales could at least be equal to those of last year, or even show a light rise. Fedeco, however, is not so optimistic.

President Luis de Miguel Bartolomé, said that the federation’s predictions were bad because the Canaries are in a free-fall as far as consumption is concerned, and that sales have been low for some time.

However, he agrees that this year’s figures could equal those of 2010.

The summer sales begin on July 1st. Happy spending!

Canarian airport charges

Subsidy to continue in 2012 S

panish gover nment president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero has guaranteed, in Congress, that the airpor t charges subsidy will be maintained for 2012, in order to further develop air transport in the Canaries, despite changes in the management model for AENA (the Spanish airports authority).

This move should give a certain level of tranquillity to the Canaries, bearing in mind the already positive impact of these measures on the Islands’ economy. Zapatero had reviewed the subsidies which have been applied to Canarian airport tariffs and emphasised that these measures are hav-

ing an effect, as shown by the average increase of 15 per cent in the number of passengers coming here in the first five months of this year. He said, “we understand that this has been extremely positive for tourism, for the economy, and for employment in the Canaries, taking into account the fact that

tourism is their main source of economic activity”. During the first five months of this year, the number of passengers has risen to 1,800,000 and the numbers joining the social security system from the hotel and catering trades increased by 4.9 per cent, compared with the national average of 0.8 per cent.

Fashion

Inditex at the top

I

nditex is right at the top of the list of fashion companies. It is now the company valued highest on the Spanish stock exchange (Bolsa), at €38,500 million.

Half of the shares in the company are owned by its founder, Amancio Ortega, worth €23,000 million, making him the richest man in Spain and one of the 10 richest in the world.

What began less than 50 years ago as a small tailor’s shop now consists of more than 5,000 shops in 78 countries, not to mention online sales. Against all predictions, Inditex profits rose by 10 per cent in the last quarter, and

this was because they maintained the prices of their goods.

Another of the keys to the success of Inditex is that they hardly have any Asian suppliers, whose labour costs are rising and who are very sensitive to the increased cost of prime materials, especially cotton.

Inditex brands such as Zara, Stradivarius and Massimo Dutti are firm favourites with many customers and their shares are also a favourite with investment companies. To make matters even better for Inditex, their competitors H&M are losing ground, having suffered falling profits for the last three quarters.

Household tips > fish tanks

P

eople think that if you choose to have a fish tank it is a simple decision, but it can quicky turn from a pleasurable hobby in a big disappointment. So there a number of things to consider before you decide to buy one.

Fish tanks

By Rudy

Location>> When deciding where to locate your tank take weight into consideration.

Caluclate the weight of the tank itself plus the water, rocks, ornaments, filters, stands, hoods and gravel add. A 50 gallon tank can weigh over 500 pounds and it can be positioned to a small floor area of your home.

There could be an unexpected problem if your corners have been cut with the floor joists by the builder so first you should inspect the floor before choosing where to place it otherwise your tank would shake every time someone walks by.

Room temperature is also very important because heat can cause a lot of problems while excessive cold means additional expense in order to maintain a suitable temperature. Direct sunlight is also undesirable as it may cause an algae growth.

Shape There are a lot of shapes to choose from and different species need different tanks.

If you want to have a show tank, then the viewing area is the most important.

High tanks are best for Angelfish and Discus , shallow tanks with more surface area are better for fish like Danios or Goldfish which are fast moving species.

Shape also affects aquarium plant life.

Amazon Sword plants (Echinodorus amazonicus) which need a wide, high area because they grow tall and wide.

Octagonal tanks, even tall ones limit your choices in selecting fish and plants even though they create visual interest.

The proper proportion of water volume for the specific surface area is important in order to have healthy fish. It will take more time to maintain tanks with a smaller water volume as you will need to change the water more frequently. The

best shape is rectangular. These tanks have the best amount of water volume which provides the best gas exchange.

Calculate the surface area of your tank by multiplying its length by width. Then divide that number by twelve to determine the maximum fish size in inches which you can have in your tank. If you do not want to calculate, just follow these tips: freshwater fish need approximately 12 square inches of space, cold water fish require 27 square inches and for marine fish this figure is 47 square inches.

Materials.

There are two different materials for fish tanks: acrylic or glass.

You may think that traditional glass tanks are better as they are used more often, but bear in mind that acrylic tanks have a number of advantages.

They are available in any type of shapes you can imagine and they are also 17

times stronger because they flex rather than break, which makes them more impact resistant. One more plus is the view; acrylic tanks give a clearer view than glass tanks, their optical rating is 93 per cent which is equal to that of optical glass. Acrylic tanks maintain better water temperature because the material is a good insulator.

Acrylic tanks also weight up to 50 per cent less than glass tanks. The main disadvantage of acrylic tanks is that their surface scratches much more easily than glass surface so you should do interior cleaning very carefully by using special materials made for acrylic tanks. You can find cleaning pads at tropical fish stores which you can use for inside and outside maintenance of your acrylic tank. Acrylic tanks are more expensive than glass ones, but they surely worth the investment. You will notice that every public aquarium is made of acrylic.

Valuations at a click T

he number of Internet applications available for valuing all types of homes has increased, and you can find out how much your, and your neighbours’ homes are worth for a cost of €4 to €8.

If you are considering buying or selling property, or if you are just curious, try the Internet. The margin of error is minimal, and much depends on the facilities in your neighbourhood. Tinsa, a main valuations company and a market leader, has just begun an online service called ‘stima’, the cost of which is €8. It is apparently

quite simple to find out how much your property is worth.

Enter the website www. stima.tinsa.es and complete the shor t questionnaire.

The payment can be made with a credit card. The key points to take into account are the location, whether it is detached, semi-detached, or in a block, the age of the property, its size and the area of land it occupies, the number of bedrooms it has, and whether it has common areas such as gardens or a swimming pool.

The valuations society has also started a similar service at www.stvalora.com, where you can find out how much any property within Spain is worth for only €4.06.

Crisis not the cause of problems?

Construction sector A

ccording to the president of Aerco (Asociación Española de Responsables de Comunidad), José Antonio Gallego, the construction sector is one which has been targetted by opportunists, whilst the government has done little to stop this speculative process.

The former minister of public works between 1985 and 1991 recently took part in a conference regarding the construction sector and other related activities, and was joined by the director of the institute of economic studies, Juan Iranzo who not only commented that the construction sector would solely revive in response to demand, but also stated that the cause of the slump in construction had been monetary politics. The president of the public works construction companies predicts that the sector has another 20 to 24 difficult months ahead.

Direct Telecom:

Totally amazing

BritishEmbassy Property advice from the British Embassy

Before you buy H

ere is some practical advice from the UK in Spain website on buying property in Spain that should be useful.

D

irect Telecom is launching the new DT Total service offering you the most complete money saving communications package in the market, now, with a 50 per cent discount!

Line Rental, free national/international calls and broadband internet Since the year 2000, the independent Telecoms firm has steadily grown and unquestionably placed itself in a position to be considered one of the industry leaders by the European residents in Spain . The firm was one of the first in Europe to launch a fully integrated Broadband service with VoIP included and has consistently set the standards in the marketplace. Still today, dozens of amazing features included in the Direct Telecom Broadband package are completely unique to it which simply makes it incomparable.

Now, the company finally launches the highly anticipated DT Total service.

This service fuses together all of the essentials to make one simple package that contains everything you need to have for just one price, on just OneBill with just one company and of course all in your language.

Direct Telecom has purposely taken the key money saving services and all the best features to create DT Total which now includes the Line Rental (no more bills from Movistar (Telefónica)), the low cost call service and the feature rich Broadband service that not only provides you with an extra two phone lines, but will also give you free national and international calls. Basically, you

get all the bits and pieces you need rolled into one great bundle that costs only €24.97/month (first three months and then €49.95/month IVA not incl.) This package can save you over €800/year in comparison with Movistar (Telefónica) as well as avoiding numerous headaches.

50 per cent off To put the icing on the cake, the company has decided to launch this new service as part of the July ‘50 per cent discount’ campaign that also covers the DT OneBill at €6.98 (Line Rental) service, DT Mobile Internet at €14.95 (3G Dongle/MicroSIM) and the DT Broadband services from €14.95.

Even the small print looks good!

Being sold something only to be disappointed when reading the small print is a situation that Direct Telecom wants to avoid altogether.

Fortunately, with Direct Telecom even the small print is designed to save the customer money. The 50 per cent discount campaign is applicable for the first three full months and will then revert to the standard monthly charge. In the case of DT Total however, even the standard monthly charge has been made cheaper!

And to finish off with some more good news, Direct Telecom has a new Freephone number available for sales enquiries, customers, services as well as technical support. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity and call now to hear all about it!

It is important to thoroughly research the area you are considering purchasing in, as well as companies you might use (developers, estate agents and lawyers).

You should look at a range of properties with different agents to compare prices and ensure that you do not end up paying over the odds.

It is also worth looking at online forums dedicated to Spanish property such as the Spanish Property Insight forum and the Eye on Spain forum to learn from others experiences and ask questions.

The website www.spanishpropertyinsight.com provides information and advice on buying a property in Spain. It includes a brief guide to buying property in Spain with information on checks you should carry out before buying a property, including checking the property registry report, title deeds, planning permission and licence of first occupancy, amongst others.

Seek independent legal advice Appoint a lawyer who is experienced in property conveyancing and fully independent of anyone else involved in the transaction e.g. the estate agent, vendor and developer.

Numerous property owners are now experiencing problems with their property because they did not seek independent legal advice and instead used lawyers and translators which were recommended by the estate agent/developer.

Do not sign any papers or hand over any money until you have taken independent legal advice.

Although the British Embassy cannot recommend a lawyer, we do have lists of English-speaking lawyers and qualified translators available on our website. See your local consulate pages for details.

Use an independent translator If you do not have a good understanding of Spanish, make sure that you get all contracts and relevant documentation translated by an independent translator. You can find a list of accredited translators and interpreters in Spain on the Spanish Ministry for Foreign Affairs website.

Use a chartered surveyor The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) exists in Spain and there are between 30-40 residential chartered surveyors working across the peninsula and the islands.

Members of the RICS are qualified and experienced professionals offering independent and impartial advice. They can be identified by the letters after their name, MRICS or FRICS.

In their work, Residential Chartered Surveyors may cover the following aspects: • Property valuations • Building surveys • Homebuyers reports • Measurement of sites and premises • Assessing the impact of a development in terms of economic viability • Land and property agency • Project and construction management • Selling and buying properties and sites on behalf of clients • Advising clients on the purchase and sale of individual investments • Managing property portfolios • General property consultancy You can find out more about RICS España and contact details of a chartered surveyor in your area on the RICS website or by contacting Eulalia Pensado, the Regional Manager for Spain and Portugal.

As members of the RICS: • They are regulated by the RICS and adhere to a well-proven code of conduct.

• Have Professional indemnity insurance • Understand your way of thinking, speak English and provide all reports in English.

• Are familiar with the different legislation and practices of the country in question.

• Maintain themselves up-to-date through RICS’ Continuous Professional Development Regulations.

• Provide independent, impartial advise

Well done A very Green Clinic special Dear Editor thank you

I

was a (national health) patient in the Green Clinic, from 328, from June 8th to 11th 2011.

I would just like to use the letters page of Island Connections to thank ever y one of the staff who helped me through this period; everyone I encountered was polite and professional and the facilities and standard of care for my particular problem were first class.

Added to this I was most impressed by the permanent cleanliness of the rooms and the quality of patient meals.

We are indeed fortunate in having such a well run hospital in the south of Tenerife. I do not believe that I would have obtained better treatment anywhere in Europe, British NHS hospitals could learn much from Tenerife’s Green Clinic.

Yours faithfully Robert J Darkin

Dear Editor

I

would like to thank Tenerife Forum member Katy K, along with the stalwarts from Eldon House, without whose help our cupboards would have bare, for her fantastic help and support since hearing of Carol’s stroke.

Also, since her article in the Island Connections newspaper I’ve been gobsmacked at the amount of help, practical and other wise, we have been given.

I would personally like to thank Malcolm Dobson for the support and treatment he has given us both, the Lions Club for advice and offers of practical help with dealing with officialdom, Tommy and Magdelena (922 749077) from Los Abrigos who have given Carol extra physiotherapy and massages and Andy 0210 who is

actively finding bits of work for me. Thanks also go to Witzend computer shop in Calleo Savaje who, after finding out Carol’s computer blew up, fixed it for free. She uses it a lot for her mental stimulation.

I would also like to thank ever yone for their kind messages and thoughts, I feel humbled at some of the responses and offers of help.

Eliot (husband of Car ol Vedmore)

Public schools doing a good job Dear Editor

C

an I just use your paper to say thank you to the teachers at my son’s school, a local public school in South Tenerife.

We are ex-pats who have made a bit of an effort to learn Spanish and it was important for our son to go to local school. He

was born here, is as Canarian as any other child here, and we believe that his education should be grounded in things Spanish and Canarian. I had heard that the system was not perhaps up to scratch, but at age six, as he prepares to go into 1st class, he can read and write in two languages (OK, I help with the English), is relatively computer literate, and has a good working grasp of addition and subtraction. Certainly when we go back to the UK he can hold his own with any boy his age, as well as being almost fluent now in Spanish.

So well done teachers, thanks a lot. I know it’s not easy and you’re under pressure because of lack of funding and resources from the regional government but I think you’re doing a great job.

Risks in your personal life should be avoided but some business risks are worth the gamble. You might be approached by someone who has an idea that won’t require your financial investment but your mental input will be requested. Take the time to listen as it might not sound as crazy as it first appears.

Romance is in the air again Taurus, but you might have to choose between two or more suitors. Don’t be too lazy just because it’s summer – keep yourself in good shape and take up a summer sport.

For single Leos there could be a key moment romantically in the offing – but mixed with something or someone from your past. But follow your heart and don’t let others sway you when it comes to picking a partner.

This might really be ‘the one’!

Aries (March 21 to April 20)

Don’t let the hot weather or family problems distract you. There’s a career decision that needs to be taken this month and only you can decide where you are going.

Take the bull by the horns and take the tough decision.

You know you want to.

Don’t be impulsive and let the heat get to you. Your relationship is on rocky ground but if you work through your problems together you will be stronger together as a result. Find common ground and everyone will be happier, alone or together.



Sagittarius (November 22 to December 20)

An unexpected trip is on the cards so make sure your passport is up to date as you’re likely to be flying beyond the European borders. Do you know someone in the United States – that could well be your summer destination even though you don’t know it yet.



Capricorn (December 21 to January 19)

Make sure your car is serviced – mechanical problems loom large for Capricorns this month. Also there are bills to be paid, emotional and financial, so settle those debts before the end of the month if you want a problem-free holiday.



Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)

Hospital visits loom but nothing too serious. A request from an old friend could lead to a welcome reunion, and you’ll be glad you were able to help as the benefits will be seen before the year’s end.



Pisces (February 19 to March 20)

Budget well for the next few months as you may have unexpected expenses to deal with. Home is untroubled but close friends will ask for and really need your help if you are ready to be there for them. Don’t forget, they were there for you!

Hands On

Helpful hints for around the house

Poisonous Plants T

hroughout the world we grow and eat many plants, herbs and general vegetation. In today’s

society we must remember still to be choosy as some plants and shrubs are potential killers of man and could be lurking in your house and garden! Plants are cunning; one part may be edible while another is deadly poisonous. Those in your house and garden may look beautiful especially in flower, like the oleander bush, but a single leaf will kill a child. The list below is some of the more common poisonous plants to watch out for:

 Hyacinth, Narcissus, Daffodil The bulb is poisonous

causing nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. This can be fatal.

 Oleander The leaves and the branches are extremely poisonous and affect the heart rhythm. It produces severe digestive upset and has caused death.

 Dieffenbachia (Dumb Cane), Elephant Ear All parts

of the plant are poisonous, causing intense burning and irritation of the mouth and tongue. Death may occur is swelling of the tongue is severe and blocks the air passages.

 Larkspur The seeds and young

plant can cause digestive upset, nervous excitement and depression.

Blocked drains!

Let’s be honest: plumbers are not cheap.

While there are definitely times when nothing short of a professional will do, there really are a lot of simple plumbing jobs that you can do yourself without dishing out the serious money for a real plumber.

This has been known to be fatal.

murder mystery of old.

 Lily of the Valley The leaves

 Jimson Weed (Thorn Apple) This is a common

and flowers of this plant will cause irregular heart beats and pulse, accompanied by digestive upset and mental confusion.

 Rhubarb This is an example of a cunning vegetable, where the root is eaten but the leaf blade, if eaten, is fatal! Large amounts of the leaf, either raw or cooked, will cause convulsions, coma, followed rapidly by death.  Buttercups All parts of this field plant have juices that may severely injure the digestive system.  Poison Hemlock

This wild plant resembles a large wild carrot and all parts of the plant are fatal. It often appeared as the possible murder weapon in many a

cause of poisoning with symptoms such as abnormal thirst, distorted sight, delirium, incoherence and coma. Has been fatal in some cases.

This is just an example of how easy it is to make mistakes with common plants, bushes and wild vegetation. Obviously some of these plants are not commonly found in the Canaries but you can never be too careful, especially when given an unknown plant as a present. Take extra care with children and never eat any wild plants or berries in any country. If you are unsure about any species of plant, contact your local garden centre for expert advice. In case of emergency you can call a 24 hour number, 91 5620420.

So, if you find yourself staring back at a drain that simply will not do it’s job, here are few simple ideas to keep in mind to help you get it flowing again.

Plumbing involves water and water can suddenly spew all over your house when you are fiddling with the pipes, so verify that you know where the main shut off valve is located in case you spring a leak. Also figure out where the shut off valve is on the pipes you are currently working on.

Kitchen drains tend to clog up due to a buildup of grease over time. However that might not be the cause of your blockage. Begin with the basics by examining the drain for minor blockages like food. Remove the sink stopper and strainer to give them a thorough cleaning. Check to see if quickly cleaning these materials fixes the problem. If not, you will need to work with stronger plumbing tools like snakes and plungers.

First try using a plumber’s snake.

It generally works well when trying to unblock a drain. A snake consists of a long thin piece of corrugated pipe. It is inside of a device you

hold in your hands. The snake extends and retracts the pipe so you remove any blockage.

You stick the end of the snake into the drain for a few inches and then start turning the handle.

This moves the head of the snake around so that it can grab hold of anything that is blocking the drain. If you find nothing, then you extend the snake further into the drain and turn the handle some more. You repeat until you find the source of your clogged drain.

Once in awhile a snake will not unclog your drain. When this happens you need to try a chemical drain cleaner. Make sure to first use a plunger before you use any chemical drain cleaner. You don’t want to use a plunger after using chemical drain cleaner because the chemical drain cleaner might splash onto your face and eyes causing harmful irritation.

When plunging the drain it is crucial that water covers the drain. This will help you to have a good seal to aid with the plunging action. Make sure to place a cover or seal over any drain vents or other sink drains. Plunge15-20 times in a row before stopping and removing the plunger. If the sink still will not drain then repeat this process another two to three times. Use the chemical drain cleaner next. If all of this doesn’t work then you will have to get out your phone book and call a professional plumber.

Taxman vs. taxpayer

Taxes rise, financial privacy falls

By David Franks, Chief Executive, Blevins Franks

T

he battle between the taxman and taxpayer is one of the longestrunning sagas of the ongoing development of human society.

In the aftermath of the financial crisis governments are having to increase taxation to help rein in their huge debts and develop new weapons to reduce financial privacy in their bid to prevent tax evasion and increase tax revenue.

There is a second threat for governments– longevity. Birth rates have fallen and people are living longer, resulting in increasingly large social welfare bills just as the working population (who pay income taxes) is shrinking.

It is hard to imagine how governments can tackle this issue without sharing the burden with the taxpayer. In the UK for example, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) calculated that if public finances are to remain sustainable, taxes have to

rise by £82 billion each year to pay for pension and healthcare commitments.

The Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development’s (OECD) latest Tax Policy and Fiscal Consolidation Brief warned that “tax revenues will need to be increased” and that it would be hard to do so without raising income tax and social security contributions.

At the same time governments need to ensure all due taxes are paid. The OECD has been at the forefront of the war against tax evasion and so called ‘tax havens’ for decades. It has made it clear that bank secrecy cannot be a barrier to effective exchange of information.

In its Global Forum information brief published in April 2011, the OECD said, “better transparency and information exchange for tax purposes are key to ensuring that taxpayers have no place to hide their income and assets and that they pay the right amount of tax in the right place.”

Under the OECD list for essential elements of transparency and exchange of informa-

tion, each country must ensure that ownership and identity information for all relevant entities and arrangements is available; reliable account records are kept and banking information is available for all account holders. Authorities should have the power to both obtain and provide information as requested under an exchange of information agreement. Personal rights and safeguards are to be restricted to permit greater exchange of information.

In December 2010 the EU’s Economic and Financial Affairs Council agreed that Member States have to respond to requests from other States regardless of their own banking secrecy laws. – The EU is also seeking to expand on automatic exchange of information and has proposed that from 2014 it will cover employment income; directors’ fees; life insurance; pensions and ownership and income from immoveable property.

From 2017 dividends, royalties and capital gains could be included on the list.

Financial privacy? What financial privacy? Any tax plan must be capable of standing

up to full scrutiny. The days of relying on privacy laws are well and truly finished.

Professional guidance from a tax and wealth management firm like Blevins Franks is more impor tant than ever before when it comes to navigating the minefield that is now international tax planning whilst keeping a fully legal plan which can withstand any investigation.

In the UK taxes have to rise by £82 billion each year to pay for pension and healthcare commitment *To keep in touch with the latest developments in the offshore world, check out the latest news on our website: www.blevinsfranks.com *You may also contact our partner Paul Montague on Tel: 922 716 079 or email: paul.montague@blevinsfranks.com

HouseCalls

Dr. De La Flor

Dear Dr. De La Flor My husband and I are both fair skinned and use sunscreen diligently. How do we know which ones really work? Are the ones with the highest SPF number the best option?

Adrianna

Dear Adrianna, If you’ve shopped for s u n s c r e e n l a t e l y, y o u have probably noticed the proliferation of products with ever-higher sun protection factor (SPF) ratings.

SPF refers to the ability of a sunscreen to block ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, which cause sunburns, but not UVA rays, which are more closely linked to deeper skin damage. Both UVA and UVB contribute to the risk of skin cancer.

The SPF rating is a measure of the time it would take an individual to develop a burn in the sun if they were not wearing sunscreen vs. the time it would take with sunscreen on.

According to research, an SPF 15 product blocks about 94 per cent of UVB rays, an SPF 30 product blocks 96 per cent of UVB rays, and an SPF 45 product blocks about 98 per cent of rays. Therefore, sunscreens with higher SPF ratings block slightly more UVB rays, but none offers 100 per cent protection. Only common sense can provide complete protection. The most important step you can take is being careful about how much sun exposure you get.

What about UVA Rays?

UVA radiation reaches deeper into the skin and contributes to wrinkles and skin cancer risk. Nearly all of the UV

Coaching Corner ::

radiation that we are exposed to is UVA radiation. Many of the high SPF sunscreens use chemical filters to block UVA rays, which may offer only marginal protection.

That’s because UVA filters, break down quickly and lose effectiveness in the sun unless stabilised. All experts agree that even the best sunscreens need to be used properly to work. Whatever product you choose, experts recommend using liberally a waterresistant sunscreen, a half hour before going outdoors.

It should be reapplied at least every two to three hours or after swimming, drying off, or sweating.

As we now enjoying summer, it is the ideal time to schedule a visit with your GP to perform a skin check and examine any moles or freckles that you already have.

Your family doctor can detect any possible problems that need to be addressed. Enjoy the summer!

Dear Dr. De La Flor My GP told me that I need to see the consultant since

my PSA is ver y high. Will I need a prostatectomy if they confirm it is cancer?

How important is the PSA reading?

Jim

Dear Jim, Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a substance produced by your prostate gland.

Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate cancer or a noncancerous condition such as prostatitis or an enlarged prostate. Most men have PSA levels under 4 (ng/mL). Men with prostate cancer often have PSA levels higher than four, although cancer is a possibility at any PSA level.

Just as important as the PSA number is the trend of that number (whether it is going up, how quickly, and over what period of time).

Most men with elevated PSA levels have noncancerous prostate enlargement, which is a normal part of aging.

Conversely, low levels of PSA in the bloodstream do not rule out the possibility of cancer.

However, most cases of early prostate cancer are found by a PSA blood test.

Although the PSA test is used mainly to screen for prostate cancer, it is valuable in other situations: to help determine how advanced cancer is and to determine treatment success.

Surgery is one of two main treatments for early-stage prostate cancer. Radiation is the other. Surger y may be done to remove the prostate and remove and test lymph nodes in the area to see whether the cancer has spread. The stage of your prostate cancer along with your age and general health will affect the type of procedure your surgeon will choose.

Radical prostatectomy is an operation to remove the entire prostate and any nearby tissue that may contain cancer. It can be done as open surgery through an incision (cut) in the belly, or as laparoscopic surgery through several very small incisions in the belly.

Surger y may completely remove prostate cancer. But it is not possible to know for sure before surgery whether the cancer has spread beyond the prostate. When cancer has spread, it cannot always be cured with surgery alone.

Best wishes for you and your prostate!

Opticians advice for kids

six mistakes The eyes have it

I

n one of his timeless speeches Roman philosopher and brilliant orator, Marcus Cicero mentions the “six mistakes” mankind keeps making century after century: 1. Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; 2. Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; 3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; 4. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; 5 . Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; 6. Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.

Reviewing ancient thinkers can be quite sobering! Twenty centuries have past. I’ve been able to collect mistakes in all six areas predicted by Marcus.

Once, a patient on his deathbed shared with me that if he had to live his life again, he’d make the same mistakes over again, only making them all earlier in life.

RESOLUTION: Let’s try for the next two weeks to be comical and see the positive side of every mistake we make.

Yes, please, try it! I can assure you that, if you try your best, two things will happen. One, you’ll definitely be more efficient and all-around successful and second of all, you will laugh a lot in the process (if you don’t, I’ll buy you a beer!). Talk to you in a couple of weeks.

By the way, feel free to add me as friend on Facebook (Manuel De La Flor). Talk to you in a couple of weeks.

The Canarian College of opticians have issued a statement advising parents to ensure that their children’s eyes are protected from the sun this summer.

The lenses of a child’s eye are more transparent than those of adults allowing more shortwavelength light to reach the retina. In the first year of a child’s life, as the inbuilt filters are not fully developed, up to 90 per cent of UVA radiation and 50 per cent of the UVB radiation can pass directly to the retina. Adequate protection is really important to avoid problems in later life such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.

According to a number of studies, Spanish residents spend, on average, 31 hours in the sun every week. We are increasingly aware of the need to protect our and our children’s skin from the harmful rays of the sun, but too few of us realise the danger to our eyes of over exposure to or inadequate protection Canarian opticians say that up to 25 per cent of parents here don’t take the necessary measures to protect their children’s eyes, mainly because they don’t realise the serious consequences that over exposure to the sun the first years of a child’s life can have.

To reduce the potential risks it’s really important that kids use sunglasses as well as sun hats or caps with a front visor.

Try and get your children used to wearing their glasses whenever they are out and explain to them that it isn’t a game and that their glasses are not toys! Obviously it is recommended that you make sure the glasses comply with all the recommended quality and eye-health standards as well as any other optical requirements your child may already have.

Animals on holiday Part I - heat

S

pot the animal lovers on the summer roads, as cats sprawl on back windowsills and dogs push their noses into the slipstream of semi-cool air.

Many pet owners include their animals on trips to the beach, mountain recreation areas or camping and hiking trips, but how many know that both cats and dogs can also suffer from overheating, dehydration, sunstroke and sunburn and that there are a host of other hazards awaiting our holiday pet?

Every summer animals left in unattended cars suffer brain damage and die from heatstroke. Even on what seems to be a mild or cloudy day and with the windows open, a vehicle can become an oven. If the temperature outside is a mild 27ºC, within the car it rapidly heats up to 43ºC as the car windows act to both absorb the sun’s rays and insulate the vehicle.

Look out for heavy panting, rapid breathing, staggering, vomiting and weakness – an animal suffering from heatstroke can die in minutes, but proper care may save his life.

Take the animal immediately to a cool or shady area and try to lower his body temperature slowly by placing him in cool,

but not cold, water. Apply an ice pack to the head and neck and get him to a vet as quickly as possible as further care will be needed.

If you must leave your animal in the vehicle for a few minutes, special trellises are available which fit into car windows allowing more than half the window to be left open without prejudicing the car’s safety or leaving space for an animal to leap out. Make sure it is only a few minutes, vehicles heat up a lot more quickly than you think - a bowl of water and a breath of air are not enough to prevent disaster.

The sun doesn’t differentiate between animals and humans.

Your companions are as vulnerable to sunburn and skin cancer as you are and may require sunscreen on their nose and ears – check with your vet for the best non-toxic brands. Light-coloured animals are particularly sensitive to the sun.

Outside animals need to be provided with plenty of shade and cool, fresh water.

Try spraying down your dogs before and after work or whenever you can on really hot days. If possible, bring your animals indoors during the hottest part of the day.

Take special precautions with old and overweight animals, or those animals with heart or lung diseases. Also with additional problems in hot

weather are snub-nosed dogs, especially bulldogs, Pekinese, Boston terriers, Lhasa apsos, Pugs and shih tzus. Whenever possible they should be kept in air conditioned rooms.

Grooming is especially important in the summer months to prevent skin problems. Dogs with long hair or heavy coats can be shaved close to help prevent overheating, however leave at least one inch of fur on your dog to help protect him or her from the sun’s dangerous rays.

Fleas and ticks love summer too – make sure your animal is protected and don’t forget that the Canaries are within a high risk area for the heartworm carried by mosquitoes, which can be fatal for cats and dogs.

If he or she has not had the annual jab that is available then a combination pest product such as Stronghold is recommended.

Finally, the heat can turn your car into a health hazard for animals and small children.

Cars can overheat when temperatures rise, causing antifreeze to leak. Keep an eye out for leaks from your car as well as your neighbours’ and clean up spills immediately.

Animals and children are attracted to the sweet smell and taste of antifreeze.

Ingesting just a small amount can be fatal. Make a note to use animal-friendly antifreeze that uses propylene glycol rather than ethylene glycol and call your veterinarian if you think your companion has been exposed to antifreeze.

Regardless of the season, your animals deserve a safe haven, plenty of food, fresh water, and lots of affection. When in doubt about your companion’s proper care or health, always check with your vet.

News from the doggy front  Thanks to…

All involved in the fund-raiser at Olivers, Los Cristianos. €512 was raised, much of which came from a miniature charity shop outlet selling designer gear and bling to the many people in attendance.

Imagination II

Let’s Dance – Vamos a Bailar

L

The Let’s Dance school end of term show

et’s Dance recently performed a new show, Imagination II, at the Adeje cultural centre, with all the dancers involved showing the great progress they and the school are making.

Source: promusicae

s reported previously, the Sloop Bar’s 25th anniversary was also held to raise funds for Carole Vedmore, and it was a huge success.

From small beginnings just a few years ago, under the direction of principal and owner Amanda Lambert, the Let’s Dance/Vamos a Bailar school in Callao Salvaje has really made huge strides, and today some of the school’s dancers are passing their dance grade exams with flying colours as well as showing a professionalism on stage that augurs well for the future.

The entertainment started with a fairly new band to the circuit called the Swinging White Knights, who take chart songs and re-arrange them into swing numbers as well as covering many standards. System X were excellent and Kristine Kay sang her heart out. Mike Edwards and Sally Anne, though unable to perform due to time constraints, also turned up to a packed bar, which was so full that people were sitting on the stairs and wherever they could find a space.

Thanks to all the sponsors, those who gave prizes, the bar and floor staff, and all concerned. And of course congratulations to Fay on the 25th anniversary of the bar, no mean achievement.

From the mini-movers, who gave wonderful performances, the babes, juniors, inters, seniors and adults, the show was a well coordinated combination of styles with dance substance. Teachers Zoe May Harker, Jo Hall, Helen Legault, Katie da Costa and Beverly Corbett proved their worth with the dance offer ranging from classical ballet to jazz, tap, acrobatic movement, song and dance, modern and contemporary. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and grandparents were a receptive audience in the auditorium, an excellent venue for this kind of show, and all performed well. The show ended with the three cheerleading squads, seniors, the Adeje Cubs and the Adeje Tigers rounding off the afternoon perfectly.

Ticket sources

Sting ticket warning reiterated

The organisers of the Sting Symphonicity tour concert in Las Palmas on 13 July have issued a fresh warning to fans who buy tickets from sources other than the official outlet.

As the big event draws near, ads for tickets for former Police singer’s gig in Gran Canaria have appeared increasingly as banners on popular Internet sites. Organisers Maldito Rodríguez say they cannot guarantee the validity of any tickets purchased through such sources. “We can only vouch for those we have made available through the official TicketMaster site. The concert sold out some time ago so if anyone is offering tickets they must be fake or black market, in which case there is a risk the buyer will not see Sting perform” said company spokesman Roberto Gutiérrez.

Katy column

Hi everyone, I

hope, you’re all well.

This week I’d like to start by giving a belated ‘congratulations’ to Mr and Mrs Green. Mr Green is of course the head teacher of the excellent Wingate School here in the south of the island.

On August 6th this year the couple will celebrate 40 years on the island of Tenerife.

Says Chris Green’s wife Margaret, “I remember that just about this time of year we had heard that we had been selected for a two year contract teaching job in the Yeoward School in the north of the island. We began getting our house in Surrey ready to be rented out for the two years we would be under contract.

“At that time hardly anyone knew where Tenerife was and we had to look it up at the library. What changes we have seen throughout the years! Playa de Las Américas did not exist; Los Cristianos was not much more than a small fishing port with a church and a beach side bar/restaurant and a very poor looking pension called Hostal Reveron in front of the church.

“Both my husband and I were teaching every day, and after the school day ended, we had to get home as quickly as possible before the daylight went. Once it had gone it was impossible to read by, or mark student’s books, or prepare the lessons for the following day. Luckily our apartment was above the school so we didn’t have far to go.

“All the comforts of home, especially the foodstuffs, had to be forgotten, and our expectations had to be reevaluated. The only sugar to be had was grey and eggs did not set no matter how long you boiled them. If we invited some of the new friends we had made to come to dinner at our apartment, we couldn’t decide on a menu until we had been to the market to see what food was available, and the selection of vegetables was extremely limited.

“I stopped working when I had my two boys, and we became very friendly with Ann Wise, who also had two

boys who were the same age as mine and our two families spent quite a lot of time together. One day I received a very excited phone call from Anne. “Margaret” she shouted excitedly down the phone, “you’ll never believe it, Torres has Domestos in stock”. It was the highlight of our lives then and we both rushed down to Puerto de la Cruz, to Torres.

This was the only available supermarket at the time, which made us giggle as it was hardly bigger than a corner shop, but it did occasionally stock some foreign foods.

“Yet despite all of the inconveniences of daily life, it was a magical and exciting time and we loved it.

We loved our teaching jobs there and are still in contact with many of our ex pupils and their parents from that time. We must still love it because here we are 40 years on.

“The next year or perhaps it was 1973, we were brought down to the south

by Spanish friends who were about to purchase some bungalows off plan....

They tried to persuade us to sell our house in Surrey and buy a bungalow as they had done. Sadly, we declined, as they were to be built on the front line in Playa de Las Américas, which was a dusty and barren stretch of coastline. It seemed too much of a risk. All you could see at the time was a dust and wilderness, with a couple of cement mixers and a few bricks, no beach to speak of, and we thought they must have lost their minds. If we had done so we could have bought many bungalows front line in Las Americas and become fairly wealthy in later years.

“I’ve a thousand and one tales to tell and Chris and I keep saying that we must write that book....Well, maybe some day in the future.”

Our readers love to hear stories like this from our residents, so if you have a story you think would be of interest, please email me at katykennedy@telefonica. net of phone 616110930.

Until next time, take care of yourselves, and especially of each other.

Dental Health >>

Dr Chanut

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 and 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,

Nutrition and oral health 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.” 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.

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. 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 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 effec-

I

f you thought looking ten or twenty years young in just two weeks was either impossible or just something that the really well off could afford, think again.

tive sunscreens currently on the market let through enough UV to allow for adequate vitamin D formation.”

It has been demonstrated that vitamin D can suppress pro-inflammatory 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.

A healthy diet

Obesity can be the result of an unbalanced diet, which may lack the nutrients known to help prevent gum disease.

“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. 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!

Joanna and John, based in South West Tenerife, organise trips to the Prestige Clinic in Wroclaw, Poland – the next one is scheduled for September – only taking a small number of clients to see Dr Piotr Rataj. He is one of Poland’s leading plastic surgeons, as well as a specialist in general and aesthetic surgery (in fact the training requirements for plastic surgeons in many European countries, such as Poland, are much stricter than in the UK). He and his wife, Aneta Madej, also a doctor, opened their own clinic in 2006 and now offer a range of corrective procedures designed to make you look and feel better and at a price that’s affordable.

Joanna and John have already brought groups to Dr Rataj this year and the results have been superb – so much so that they are happy to put you in touch with those clients if you are thinking of going for a procedure yourself. Sam went in May and says, “Couldn’t have had better service. Our every whim was catered for. Definitely couldn’t have contemplated the trip without Jo and John. Can’t believe we were sightseeing after only two days after a face, neck lift and eyes. Delighted with the result. Highly recommend JSJ.” Treatments (including corrective surgery if you are suffering from a botch job) breast enlargement - breast implants, raised breast, facelift, facelift + eyelid surgery, upper and lower eyelids, nose correction, ear correction, tummy tuck and lots more. And it’s not prohibitively expensive either.

For €5,000 you could have a full face, neck and eye lift, including pre-op consultation (which will take place here in Tenerife as Dr Rataj will fly over to see the group before they travel), and daily post-op care, with taxis to and from the clinic, a two week stay in a private luxury apartment, dinner in excellent hand-picked restaurants, full nursing care during your hospitalisation, guided sightseeing in the beautiful Polish city of Wroclaw and a like-minded group of people to share your holiday with when and if you feel inclined. The only extra charge will be your flights to and from Wroclaw, which average at between €100 and €150 return, flying from the UK or Ireland. Consider this and then compare it with the price of surgery in the UK – a simple face lift (neck and eyes not included), with no after care and not including consultancy fees or any overnight stay will cost in the region of €8-9,000.

Joanna describes the surgery as ‘gentle’ in the sense that you will return looking and feeling ten years younger (if not more) but the change won’t be so radical that people will be looking for the scars!

Wine wonderland

Fi ft y b o d e ga s f ro m Tenerife will be taking part in a wine party promotion in Los Cristianos.

I

sland Connections earlybirds have the chance of taking part in a great wine occasion at the Gran Fiesta de los Vinos de Tenerife 2011 on July 1st. From 7pm onwards the vineyards from all five of the islands wine producing regions will be offering wine and food tastings and explaining the ins and outs of their various brews to visitors at the port of Los Cristianos. There will be a choice of 115 different wines on offer in exchange for a ticket at special prices and each participant will receive a commemorative tasting glass.

T

o accompany the wines, chefs from the European Chefs’ Association, Euro Toques have created tapas of sardine and meat kebabs cooked over charcoal, paella and various other delicacies. If you like a particular wine you will also be able to purchase it on the day at direct-from-the-bodega prices.

T

his is currently a one off event in the south of the island and is supposedly aimed at the tourist sector and southern residents. It’s a great pity then that with all the organisation it must have taken to get the 50 bodegas together, nobody thought to let the foreign press know that it was taking place so that we could let you know with more notice.

U

ntil the second half of the 20th century, before electricity or gas was readily available in the islands, charcoal was the preferred fuel for domestic cooking.

Easier and lighter to transport on the back of man or beast, charcoal gives a hotter and cleaner flame than firewood and its preparation kept the wolves away from the door of more than one hill-living family for many years.

Favourite woods for producing the charcoal were the white broom of the Teide basin and the almond trees of the upper reaches of the island. A charcoal burner would normally produce around three sacks at at time and walk down to the coast to sell them or more likely to barter them for goods he and his

Nocturnal vigil

family needed, often dodging the long arm of the law along the way, to avoid arrest. The collection of the wood was a jealously guarded right at the time.

Charcoal is formed by burning wood in a controlled manner over a long period of time. The charcoal burners of Vilaflor piled the wood closely together in a pyramid, built ‘doors’ out of larger trunks and stones at several points around the perimeter, covered the pile with dried pine needles and surrounded it with a stone wall before topping it off with a thick layer of soil.

Once fired, a close watch has to be kept on the ‘carbonera’, often overnight, to make sure that too much air doesn’t enter the pyre turning all the work to ashes.

Once a year, as part of a week long programme

to promote the local gastronomy and agriculture in Vilaflor, the charcoal burners once again demonstrate their art. This year it will be held on July 16th. Alternatively if your, or your children’s school would like, a special demonstration can be arranged by contacting the local development officer, Montse, at the Vilaflor council offices.

The charcoal burning demonstration goes on all day and there will be food tastings on offer from the local restaurants all featuring that Vilaflor speciality, the potato. Many of the restaurants keep the dishes they create for the weekend on their menus for the next few weeks. If you haven’t yet visited Vilaflor, now is a great time to do so, if you have, go back, there’s a lot there you haven’t yet seen or experienced.

News in Brief >>

New Mini coupé

The first two-seater car from Mini, the Mini Coupé, is to be launched on the Spanish market in October.

T

The Toyota RAV4 4x2 R

AV4, the Toyota that inspired a whole new market segment for compact recreational SUVs, is proving the master of sustained success with its new-look model.

As well as benefiting from new styling and higher equipment levels, the line-up has been revised to offer more choice, all with the performance, fuel efficiency and emissions rewards that come with Toyota Optimal Drive.

The current 2.2 D-4D diesel engine is featured in a new entry-point model in the range, with two-wheel drive and six-speed manual transmission.

And, for the first time, the rangetopping 148bhp 2.2 D-4D D-CAT unit is offered in XT-R trim, with

six-speed automatic transmission.

The 2.0-litre Valvematic petrol with Toyota’s Multidrive S CVT system remains part of the RAV4 portfolio, now exclusively in XT-R specification with all-wheel drive.

The RAV4 has a strong new frontend design, anchored by a new, wider grille with horizontal blades and chrome accents, strengthening the model’s ‘contemporary urban’ style appeal.

There is also a new, full-width, aerodynamically styled front bumper which accentuates the vehicle’s stable stance. The addition of chrome accents to the grille, bonnet moulding and fog lamp surrounds reinforces the premium quality of the new design.

Two new exterior colours have been added to the range too: Deep Titanium metallic and White Pearl pearlescent.

The grille, a signature feature of the latest Toyota models such as Avensis and Verso, is framed by new-look headlights. These incorporate projectortype low beam lamps, integrated into the new bonnet and front wing design, emphasising RAV4’s wide track and dynamic appearance.

All RAV4 powertrains benefit from Toyota Optimal Drive technologies to deliver an excellent balance of power, fuel economy and lower carbon dioxide emissions. On a combined cycle, the RAV4 4x2 consumes an average of six litres per 100 kilometres. Its top speed is 185km/h and it can accelerate from

0 to 100km/h in only 10 seconds. The standard equipment on the RAV4 4x2 includes Auto air conditioning, fog lamps, 17-inch alloy wheels, rain sensor and light control system, electric windows (front and rear), ABS, EBD, VSC and HacRadio CD with CD charger, MP3 and six speakers.

The RAV4 is equipped with Bluetooth and a steering wheel with an audio switch, central remote locking, plenty of interior storage space, front airbags for the driver and passenger, plus side, curtain shield and knee airbags.

All this from only €25,900, while stocks last!

Visit your nearest Toyota dealer or go online to www.toyotacanarias.es or www. toyotistas.es.

here will be a four-model line-up with three petrol (122, 184 and 211hp) and one diesel engine (143hp). The high standard specification will include a unique rear active spoiler and an extensive personalisation programme. This cheer ful new car is a contemporary and authentic reworking of the classic performance car concept, bringing Mini’s intoxicating blend of go-anywhere attitude and practicality to a new type of customer. Prices will begin at €21,600 for the Mini Cooper, and €33,900 for the Mini John Cooper Works.

Speed limit return

Thespeedlimit onmotorways and dual carriageways reverts to 120km per hour as of 1 July following the decision by the Spanish government not to extend the temporary reduction in place since March.

T

he limit was cut to 110 kmh on 7th March as part of en energy-saving drive to reduce the cost of oil imports. Although applauded by road safety bodies, it has been criticised as unnecessary and costly (due to the expense incurred in changing road signs throughout the country) in several quarters.

Announcing the decision to revert to 120km the government in Madrid said the measure has “served its purpose” and helped save €450 million.

Boxing

EDITION 646 :: 01/07/2011 - 14/07/2011 :: ISLAND CONNECTIONS

Soccer ::

By George Reed

Klitschko has the edge T

he heavyweight championship was once regarded as the greatest prize in all of sports but since Lennox Lewis retired as reigning heavyweight champion of the world, it has become a pawn in a cut-throat game of chess. I wrote at the time that Lewis’s retirement would leave a void in the heavyweight division and to the American’s dismay it has not been filled by one of their big men, but by super-heavyweights from Eastern Europe, and England’s David Haye. It must be a sickener for their boxing fans that it’s two Ukrainian brothers and a Brit who are following in the size 18 footsteps of Lennox Lewis.

Yes, the Brit, David Haye, was years away from being on the heavyweight scene when some nine years ago, after Lewis retired, I tipped the younger of the Ukrainian born brothers, Wladimir to eventually rule the heavyweight division.

But how things can change in boxing! It only takes a split second, just one punch to change the whole scene and it certainly did when Wladimir fought Corrie Sanders for the WBO title and the South African caught Wladimir’s chin with a hell of a punch after just four minutes to put his lights out. My tip for the top had come unstuck! And, to make matters worse for Wladimir, after a couple of wins the following year, he tried to win back his WBO belt from Lamon Brewster, but punched himself out and collapsed from sheer fatigue at the end of the fifth round, and the referee stopped the fight in Brewster’s favour.

However, that was a long time ago, and now Wladimir who holds two of the major world title belts is a complete seasoned fighter who has been through almost every phase of drama and adversity in 58 professional fights and winning 55 of them.

So the long awaited fight to unify the three world title belts held by Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye will finally take place on July 2nd at Hamburg SV Football Ground in front of some 60,000 fans, mostly Germans, who will be cheering Klitschko on, as he has lived and trained there for most of his boxing career.

Can David slay another giant? I doubt it, for this ‘giant’ is far superior to Valuev.

He may be a bit robotic, but he’s got fast hands, and he can punch hard. He’s like a well-oiled machine and he knows how to use his weight and size. I hope I’m wrong on this one!

Once again the Soccer Experience 7s leagues are commencing, initially with the Over 35s held on Tuesday evening and the Monday night Championship league following closely behind. New seasons bring fresh promise from all sides and great expectations from all the players involved and news of transfers abounds With Linekers running away with the league title last season all sides know this season they will have to step up to the mark to topple the champions and with two new sides coming in there could be some surprises for all. Pepsi .F.C team are back, once a strong Soccer Experience outfit and along side the house team built up of players within the Soccer Experience circuit, this season has the potential to be really interesting indeed.

There’s lots of reasons to choose Midas:

Over 35s league The over 35s league were blown away by the form of champions Scruffy Macs last season, but all seems to be changing, as teams have made some wonderful additions to their sides and now there seems to be a real balance in the league, with any team now more than capable of beating one another. In other words, no early signs that there will be run away leaders this season – but who can tell!

La Liga 7s, Thursday Indeed the name ‘Warriors’ is very apt for this team who and Friday evenings Tenerife Warriors are one of Soccer Experiences original sides having been with them right from the start when there was only six teams and they were under the reliable and steady guidance of captain Lee Martin, giving fans and opponents taste of Latin football every week with silky passing and some what extravagant goal celebrations. Like all sides throughout football over the past few years the team has had to evolve and the present captain Eduardo, only one of four players from the original squad, has taken on the role of captain wonderfully after Lee Martin transferred to another team recently.

Tenerife Warriors are once again bouncing back to their best form (they are previous winners of the Masters league) and now compete in the new Soccer Experience 7s Thursday and Friday evening La Liga. The Warriors have gained great respect from all involved at Soccer Experience, and are both a pleasure to play with or against. They are one of Soccer Experience’s most prized Spanish sides.

In the early days when they struggled for players and their consistency was not one of their strengths they continued to show resilience which should be appreciated by all teams within the leagues.

just never gave up when wins did not come so easily to them. They have now achieved what in the early days may not have seemed possible, so well done indeed to Capitán Eduardo and the mighty Tenerife Warriors.

Contador Tour preparations disrupted

T

our de France favourite Alberto Contador has not had it all his own way in preparing for this month’s race, the biggest in the international cycling calendar.

Having overcome legal battles to prevent him from taking part due to allegations of drugtaking, he fell foul of French gendarmes as he trained in the Alps recently. The cyclist was ordered off his bike for not having lights as he rode through a tunnel on one of the

practice routes being used by his team. Although he argued that the team cars preceding and following him on the route were fully lit up, the officers insisted he dismount and made him complete the journey by car.

The incident made headlines in France’s leading sports daily L’Equipe, which revealed that senior gendarmes later contacted the cyclist at his hotel to apologise for the heavyhandedness of the officers.

CD Tenerife

Rumour camp

By Chris Todd

It has been a torturous summer so far for everyone that follows the fortunes of our local side CD Tenerife.

The threat of another “administrative� relegation due to the non-payment of players looms over the club as negotiations continue. It has been leaked that six players have denounced the club to the Spanish FA but it is hoped that a deal can be reached with the club paying off the players in three installments over the coming year. This came at the same time as the publication of a study into Spanish football for the 2009-2010 season when Tenerife played in the first division and revealed that CD Tenerife was the best run club in the league which of course is scant reward for supporters just one year on.

The blanquiazules one season in the top flight generated â‚Ź8.7 million in profits.

Hindsight is a great thing but it was fairly obvious at the time that if the team had been reinforced we would have probably stayed up. If â‚Ź4 million of the â‚Ź8.7million had been spent in the mid-winter transfer window Tenerife would not be in the predicament they are now.

Although the TV money in Spain is scandalously “shared outâ€? it still would have meant â‚Ź12 m per season compared to practically nothing in 2nd B. In the English Premier the top side, Manchester Utd, received in the 2009/2010 seasonâ‚Ź58.2 m and the lowest club â‚Ź34.9m. In Spain the gap is much greater with Madrid and Barcelona obtaining â‚Ź140 m each and the lower part of the table (Tenerife included) just â‚Ź12 m per club.

It is expected that TV Canaria will reach a deal with the blanquiazules to show a package of home and away matches in the 2nd B. The structure of the new Spanish 2nd B league(which is split into four regional divisions) has not yet been confirmed but it is known that CD Tenerife will play in the Madrid and surrounding ar-

eas group. There will also be two other Canarian sides to play, UD Vecindario and Universidad de Las Palmas, both from Gran Canaria.

The immediate future of the club is at present unclear but there are certain promising developments. National press reported in the week that Italian giants Udinese and more importantly their millionaire chairman Gino Pozzo is interested in “acquiring� CD Tenerife. This would not be a takeover as such but control of the club and a place for Champions League outfit Udinese’s huge pool of players to gain experience.

Also included in this possible project are Charlton Athletic and to add further fuel to the rumours Tenerife centre midfielder Mikel Alonso was transferred to Charlton in the week. Two years ago the Pozzo family took control of CF Granada in Spain, loaned them 10 players and the rest is an amazing success story.

Granada was promoted to La Liga last weekend after two straight promotions.

With pre-season training starting in mid-July eleven local youth players have been promoted to the main squad and this can only be a positive move. CD Tenerife have made their first signing of the summer in 28 yr old Kike Tortosa from Albacete. The profile for next season’s team is starting to take shape (remember 18 new players are needed), with local youth signings, several experienced second division players topped up with promising loan players from Serie A club Udinese.

With all the comings and goings it has almost been forgotten that we still need a new manager and there are no rumours whatsoever regarding this at present. The fixtures for the upcoming season are published on Wednesday July 6th, hopefully things will be a lot clearer by then!

Loro Parque

Pedro visits marine namesake

.

This year over 600 pupils learnt to sail in Arona courtesy of the Los Cristianos sailing school as well as mastering the arts of windsurfing and kayaking.

Pedro and his ‘godson’ at Loro Parque

Now summer is here, those who wish to learn these and other nautical skills can sign up in the Arona yacht club, as well as other centres around the islands. In Arona the children’s courses will be in the morning and adults in the afternoon. If you are already qualified to operate a boat you can also hire crafts from here to enjoy a splendid summer on the sea. The bay in Los Cristianos is ideal for boat based excursions and training. Find out more from the yacht club facebook page, (Club de Vela Navegantes de Arona) or on their web page www. escueladevelaloscristianos. com.

arcelona and Spain star Pedro RodrĂ­guez used his holiday time in Tenerife recently to drop in on his namesake, a sea lion at the Loro Park in Puerto de la Cruz.

The California sea lion was born several months ago at the Park, which organised a competition to find a suitable name.

RodrĂ­guez, better known by his footballing nickname Pedrito, says he was thrilled to learn that his name had won hands down on the Facebook competition and would visit at the earliest opportunity.

Keepers at the Park made a special fish cake for the new addition to the sea lion collection to mark the visit by Tenerife’s bestknown sporting figure at present.

Pre season training

Las Palmas’ Big Brother!

S

econd division club Las Palmas have made every effort to ensure there is no repeat of last summer’s incidents involving players who slipped out of the team’s pre-season training camp to go partying and the venue for this season’s fortnight of intensive training has been asked to help out with extra secu-

rity measures so that moonlight flits do not disrupt the schedule.

The upmarket Hotel Don Gregory in Playa del InglĂŠs has set aside an entire floor for the Las Palmas squad for the camp between 15-30 July and, according to one local paper, the main doors will be equipped with special locks to prevent the players from slipping out

undetected to savour the night life in the resort. News of the tougher regime has been given a mixed welcome by the squad, with some complaining that there is no need for the surveillance but others admitting that the escapades of certain younger members last year should not be allowed to happen again.
