underland businessman Stephen Johnson wants to “get his life back together” following his acquittal by a court here last week of killing a Moroccan man in a drunken fight during a holiday in Tenerife more than three years ago. Mr Johnson said he was “ecstatic” that the jury of nine at the Criminal Court in Santa Cruz believed his version that he had nothing to do with the death of Ahmed Addy.

‘I have got my life back’: Johnson ecstatic over acquittal Exclusive by Karl McLaughlin

After a trial lasting four days which witnessed some very tense moments, the jury took six hours to return a unanimous verdict of not guilty for both the Wearside bus-company owner and Bryan O’Connell, a 31-year-old bar entertainer from Liverpool. Instead it found that the two men were guilty of the much less serious offence of taking part in a street brawl, which will probably result in a fine of between €500-1000. Island Connections followed every minute of the trial in court and interviewed Stephen several times before, during and after the proceedings. Even before learning that he had been cleared, the 56-yearold grandfather told us he had “absolutely no regrets” about intervening to try and stop his co-defendant from being savagely attacked by the two Moroccans, who were ejected half an hour earlier from the Stage Door bar, a popular drinking venue for British tourists in Playa de Las Américas, for causing trouble and intimidating Mr O’Connell, even following him to the toilet at one point. “As I was leaving with my

niece and her friend, I saw him being attacked by the pair and went to try to stop the fight, which was a two versus one situation. I was hit on the head very hard with something and knocked to the ground. I only remember being in a daze and getting up to walk off to get treatment. I did not see anyone being stabbed”. His version of events was corroborated by the key witness in

the trial (called, ironically, by the prosecution), a street cleaner who had just begun his round minutes earlier and saw the whole fight clearly and even rebuked one of the Moroccans as he rummaged in the bins to find something “to kill the English bastards”. The testimony from the witness shattered the scenario presented by the State prosecutor to such an extent that, in unprecedented

comments in court, the latter insinuated that the road sweeper was “racially biased” against Moroccans and accused him of “acting on a stage” rather than “telling the jury what he had really seen”. Forensic evidence produced in court showed also that Stephen had no marks on his hands indicating he had thrown punches of any kind. Contd on page 2.

One individual was calm and collected. Our very own Mariusz Firek, art director for The Magazine, who had bought a Kenny G CD before the concert started, and was given a ticket for the draw just like everyone else. When the winning number was called out Mariusz, the height of cool, checked his number and remarked to Sarah, The Magazine editor, “that’s my number”, and strolled up, quite unperturbed, to collect his prize. Needless to say we have all been drooling over the saxophone at work, though none of us are really suggesting that if Mariusz takes up lessons he should use his lunchtimes in the office for practice sessions!

Johnson acquittal

“Flimsy and ludicrous”… By Karl McLaughlin

Stephen gives a thumbs up to the jury after the verdict

Continued from page 1 Defence lawyers maintained throughout the complex trial, which also saw a third man accused of helping O’Connell avoid arrest, that the second Moroccan man caused two serious gashes to Bryan O’Connell’s eye and fled the scene after inadvertently stabbing his compatriot in the heated fray. Although clearly elated at being acquitted on the murder charge, Stephen Johnson was angr y that the jury had opted to convict him of brawling, albeit with the mitigating circumstance that he was drunk at the time. “I honestly think that this option was included by the prosecution at the end of the trial to salvage at least something from the case and prevent me from claiming compensation from the Spanish government. I now have a conviction hanging over me that, I fear, will prevent me from carrying on my coach business in England” he said. In a 75-minute emotional summing up on the final day of the proceedings, Mr Johnson’s lawyer, Fernando Mesa, had appealed to the jury to “end the misery” his client has suffered since his arrest in January 2008. Speaking to Island Connections minutes after the verdict, Mesa said he was always “confident of the outcome” because the case against Stephen was “flimsy and ludicrous” and should never have come to trial. “This has cost the State an awful lot of money and it was an absolute shambles from the beginning” he complained. Stephen and wife Joan plan to take a holiday soon – “not in Tenerife, it will be a long time before we come back here despite our many friends”- to help them get over “the nightmare of the past three and a half years”.

“Christmases on my own” and the funerals of friends and loved ones which he was unable to attend to pay his last respects. “I have been away from my elderly mother, who is now 80. I have missed the birth of my grand-daughter and haven’t seen her grown up”, he complained bitterly. Wife Joan, who broke down in tears at the verdict, later said she was “on top of the world” at the end of what had been the worst day of her whole life: “I have got my husband back today. He will now come home to England and get his family back,

The blood stained clothes that were shown to the jury during the trial “We celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary in a few days. We have been forced to live separate lives since 2008. I have been ruined by all this. In addition to the financial cost to my business back home, this has taken a massive personal toll on all of us. I have been prevented from being with my family all this time. As part of my bail conditions, I have been forced to stand in a queue to sign in at a local court every two weeks, like a criminal, when I did absolutely nothing wrong. I should not even have been found guilty of brawling”, Stephen said. He paid tribute to the “massive support” received from his family and from the many friends who had helped him through his ordeal, some of them raising the money to post his bail in the days after his arrest in Januar y 2008. Among the new friends he and his wife have made is Londoner Kerstin Heyfron, whose sons were held for 20 months in jail before being cleared in March of any involvement in the stabbing of a Belfast teenager in 2009. The

publicity given to the Heyfron case brought the two women together and Kerstin and Joan Johnson have been in constant touch since, offering each other support during their respective ordeals. Indeed, the Heyfrons were among the first to receive a text message with the news that Stephen had been acquitted. Kerstin told Island Connections: “It’s a real shame the court system in Tenerife works as it does and puts families through hell and back. My own boys are still nowhere near getting over the trauma of being locked up for nearly two years for something they did not do”. Leaving the Courthouse for a celebration, which began in the cafeteria of the main bus station located across the road, with which the Heyfrons and the families of others appearing in court in Santa Cruz are more than familiar, Stephen Johnson said “words cannot describe how I feel. I am so mentally shattered by all this I can’t even feel jubilation just yet. I had to sit there for 20 minutes while they read

the verdict only in Spanish. I had no idea what had been decided until my lawyer shook my hand and said I had been given a fine. Going to prison for 12 years would have finished me for life. I am 56 now, I know I wouldn’t have come out of that prison. Today we start a new life”. For Stephen there were too many low points to count during his time “trapped here in what for others is a holiday paradise”, particularly

Bryan O’Connell listening to the verdict in court get to know his grand-daughter and pick up the pieces of his shattered life and business”. However, that long-awaited day may still be some days away due to the legal formalities that still need to be completed in Tenerife before Stephen gets his passport back.

Courts on trial >>

Johnson acquittal

Johnson slams ‘shambles system’ Stephen Johnson is highly critical of the police for their handling of the case from Day One and believes they focused on putting and keeping him in the picture instead of trying to arrest a second Moroccan who fled the scene and has never been seen since, even though leads existed as to his identity. The jury in the four-day trial heard that the deceased’s English girlfriend was contacted by the second Moroccan shortly after the incident with the news that her boyfriend had been involved in a serious incident. Police admitted in court that, although they had the mystery North African’s mobile telephone number, they failed to establish his real name or where he lived and now believe he left Tenerife undetected. During the trial, jury members specifically questioned the senior inspector who led the investigation as to how and why the second man “had got away and left the island so easily”. “I have no trust in the police here after this. What they produced as evidence in court over the past week was not the truth. There has been a conspiracy between them

to charge me with murder” Stephen Johnson told Island Connections. He launched a stinging rebuke at the justice system here which has seen him “suffer for three years and seven months…This system in Tenerife is an absolute disgrace to the Spanish state. They need to come into line with the rest of the world. I know many others have suffered the same fate as me here and there will be a lot more until this gets sorted out. You can spend four years in pretrial detention, which is a disgrace, and someone somewhere, whether the European Union or whoever, needs to come and take a hold of the system here and put it right. It is a complete mess!” However, he paid tribute to senior judge Esmeralda Casado for the way she conducted the trial. “I didn’t understand much of what was going on because there was almost no translation, except when I was giving my evidence, and the little translation given was of terrible quality at times. But despite that I could see that she was being very fair and making sure things were done properly. “I am very grateful to her and to the jury”. [Island Connections witnessed at one point how the female interpreter translated Bryan O’Connell’s affirmation that he was “fighting his assailants alone, just me and them” when Stephen arrived as “all four of us were fighting”, prompting the judge to query the rendering and ask for clarification

for the jury. During the actual reading of the verdict another interpreter translated to O’Connell that he had been “found guilty of assault” instead of participation in a brawl, again prompting the judge to intervene directly to rectify]. Ironically, the day after the acquittal, details emerged in the media of a report compiled by Spain’s Inspectorate of Courts looking into the problems with the system here, particularly the delays caused by the under-resourcing of courts and the constant crashing of the new Atlante computer application, which stores vital case paperwork. Interestingly, the report, which followed a visit by inspectors from Madrid in April, identified the lack of simultaneous translation facilities in courtrooms as an area to be addressed, bearing in mind the large number of cases involving foreigners on the island. Lawyer Julián González, one of the defence lawyers in the trial, said things would not change here until Madrid realised that the errors in the way cases are investigated by the police and then handled by the courts of instruction, particularly Arona, before reaching the main criminal court in Santa Cruz were potentially costing the State a fortune in compensation claims. At least one of the English defendants in the recent drugs trial that saw 16 people acquitted is believed to be preparing a multi-million euro suit for the length of time he was needlessly held on remand.

Warning signs Parental child abduction

ver y other day a British child is abducted by a parent to a country which has not signed the 1980 Hague Convention on international parental child abduction, according to new research released today by the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office, FCO. In practice this figure is likely to be even higher as many cases are simply not reported.

The latest figures represent a 10 per cent increase in new cases handled by the FCO in 2010/2011 and have been released to mark the launch of their child abduction prevention campaign. Evidence shows that many cases occur around school holidays when a parent refuses to return a child following a visit to the parent’s home country. FCO figures also reveal just how widespread the problem has become. Last year the FCO handled cases in 97 ‘non Hague’ countries ranging from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. These are countries which have not signed up to the 1980 Hague convention on international parental child abduction and with whom negotiating the return of children to the UK can be extremely complex as there

are no international agreements on returning children. Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister Jeremy Browne said the campaign will help people become more aware of what they could do if they think their child may be at risk. “We are ver y concerned that we continue to see an increase in the number of cases of international parental child abduction. The latest figures suggest the problem affects people from all walks of life and not just certain types of families or particular countries. Finding a solution can be especially difficult if a child has been taken to a nonHague country as there are no international systems in place to help you. This is why prevention is so important. The FCO will do whatever we can to provide advice and support but our role is limited, not least because we cannot interfere in the laws of another country.” The FCO has teamed up with leading parenting websites Mumsnet and the Fatherhood Institute to spread the prevention message and make people aware of the support it can provide. The campaign will be one of Mumsnet’s campaigns of the week in July. Sharon Cooke, Advice Line Manager for Reunite International Child Abduction Centre, welcomed the latest advice and said while sometimes there were no warning signs, there are things people could look for

which may indicate their child was at risk. “The most obvious warning sign is a break down in a relationship but other signs may include a sudden interest in getting a passport or copy birth certificate for the child; a parent expressing a wish to holiday alone with the child; a change in circumstances such as leaving employment or redundancy, selling a house or giving up tenancy. There may also be a sudden change in contact arrangements or constant difficulty in being able to see the child,” she said. “For many people the issue of parental child abduction is something with which they may not have had direct personal contact. There’s often a perception – fuelled by a number of high profile cases - that it’s about fathers abducting their children, however statistics show it is mainly mothers – either intentionally or unintentionally. Sharon says: “The latest figures show just how widespread this problem has become. Our statistics for January to May 2011 show a 21 per cent increase in the number of abductions to non-Hague States compared to the same period last year. We have also seen a 21 per cent increase in the number of parents requesting advice on prevention of abduction. This demonstrates there is a need for information on preventative steps that a parent can take and it is essential that we continue to raise awareness of parental child abduction, after all it could happen to anyone. “The psychological impact on children can be traumatic and for the left-behind parent, the shock and loss are unbearable, particularly if they don’t know where their child is. Even after they have been found, the fear and pain of not knowing if they will return home is unimaginable.” If you are worried your child might be at risk, or if your child has been abducted you can call the Child Abduction Section at the Foreign Office on 0207 008 0878 or www.fco.gov.uk or reunite on 0116 2556 234.

A few days later, the Spanish government said steps were being made to recover the €23 million from the companies concerned in a move which is likely to trigger further legal complications as the hotels are certain to seek compensation from the towns that wrongly issued the planning permission.

Few Canarian politicians and even fewer Cabildo heads decide that enough is enough and retire in dignified manner from political life, secure in the knowledge that they would have been voted back in with a big majority. Padrón is noteworthy not only for having retired, but for also being scandal free, apparently working for the greater good of the island and islanders, not being in possession of a vast fortune, not abusing his position to enrich himself and cronies and not rigging elections. There is, moreover, no long list of companies in his wife’s or relatives’ names benefitting from fat public works contracts or prior knowledge of planning changes.

Las Palmas will not appeal against the decision to award the European Capital of Culture 2016 honour to San Sebastián in the Basque Country.

Within hours the mayor of Zaragoza, Juan Antonio Belloch, said he wanted a review of the decision because the jury had specifically mentioned the “peace implications for San Sebastián” when only cultural factors should have been considered.

The whales, mothers and their youngsters, were spotted five kilometres off Puerto Calero and were heading south until their interest was attracted by the research boat. The lucky researchers were thrilled at the close-up and will use the pictures and sounds in talks to schoolchildren here as well as at conferences abroad.

he post-election period has thrown up many interesting details concerning the political wheeling and dealing that drives local government in the Canaries, with sworn enemies becoming bosom buddies overnight for the sake of pacts to stay in or get into power.

However, the extensive news coverage since 22 May has also served to raise other questions concerning the way things operate here, particularly on the smaller islands, and some are openly calling for a complete rethink of the political jobs ‘created’ when they might not actually be needed. The ball was set firmly rolling with the news that the council in Garafía in La Palma has voted to award itself five full-time councillor positions, paid from the corporation budget, to meet the needs of a population of a mere 1,800. The decision has been slammed as an example of

Hierro has announced its new island government and once again many are wondering if so many departments are really needed. For a resident population of just over 10,000, El Hierro has specific departmental ‘labels’ plus the corresponding staff for the follow-

ing in the local Cabildo, which is led by new president Belén Allende: Natural and Marine Environment, Agroindustry, Planning and Development; Industry, Water Resources and Energy; Transport and Telecommunications; Waste and Recycling; Public Infrastructures and Maintenance. Not to mention Administration, Finance, Training and Development; Human Resources and Equal Opportunities; Welfare, Health and Community Participation; Education, Youth and Sport. It is not just the small parts that are guilty: reports from Santa Cruz state that a new post is being created for a press officer not for the mayor but for his deputy, who is from another party and feels his own media-contact organiser is appropriate. Local daily the Diario de Avisos has openly spoken of a ‘parallel structure’ being put in place by the deputy mayor, Julio Pérez, to cater for his personal needs.

hen the list of PSOE candidates for Adeje’s council was published some were surprised – surprised by the sweeping change in the council mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga was suggesting if his party were to win the confidence of the electorate. Win they did and now the new councillors are finding their feet in their offices. Many of the new faces at the council table have come straight from the professional sector and the mayor has placed them in charge of departments suited to their background. Many times we have seen political office at national as well as regional level used to ‘reward’ loyal or high profile politicians, but in this instance it has been more a case of finding the right candidate for the job. Fitting neatly into this new line up is Rafael Dolado García, who has many years experience in the hotel sector in the Canary Islands and is taking over at the department of tourism. Rafael’s family are from Gran Canaria and following studies he spent his first years in the business there before moving to Tenerife where he has managed some of the top hotels since the 1980s as well as holding the office of

CIT Sur president from 1992 – 1995. However he is a bit concerned that people will have unreal expectations given that he comes from the sector. Rafael comes to a job knowing that there have been some welcome changes and improve-

ments in the tourism sector in the borough in recent years, though, he says, there is always room for more. “It’s a matter of pride for me to work for a borough that is in the top three for tourism in Spain”, he says. One of his challenges, he

The right man for the job says, is continuing the good work already started, and in his first months he plans to “listen, consult and act” on things that need to be done. “I want to get to know people and their problems and work on them”, Rafael says, as well as working on “the forgotten areas of Costa Adeje that are in need of care and attention”, mentioning green zones and public gardens for instance. One novel idea that is being developed with the regional government and Infotur, is to develop tours of Adeje town, its cultural and historical offerings, combined with visits to restaurants, maybe introduce a tapas route, organise stays in some of the town centre hotels, and all with a built in flexibility so the visitor can chose the plan that suits them. The idea is to let

people know that Adeje has a lot to offer beyond the sea shore. This all fits into the direction the mayor has already elaborated for tourism for the zone, that it be more ‘transversal’, across many different departments, particularly culture and sport, which, with installations as at T3 Top Training and the development of new installations, has already brought the borough many new visitors. Obviously the re-opening of the Barranco del Infierno, the popular mountain walk that starts and finishes at the top of the town, would be of real importance to this new project. “It’s in the hands of the Cabildo…but it is hoped that it will reopen by the end of the year or the beginning of next year”, we were assured. The Barranco has been closed since a walker died following

an accident almost two years ago. Given the crisis and how it is affecting small businesses we asked the new Adeje tourism chief how the ‘all inclusive’ hotels fitted into his plans for the future. “Personally I don’t like them…but they are in demand, and we can’t ignore them”, he said, but hoped to work to see these hotels work in conjunction with local business and bars and restaurants to at least allow clients to explore alternative venues with an agreed reduction. Overall Rafael Dolado García wants to work to ensure that Adeje continues to improve its offer to new and returning tourists and is open to ways of helping smaller bars and restaurants survive and fulfil their role in Costa Adeje. He promises that one of the campaigns the council will being in vigour is a series of inspections of smaller premises to ensure that they are properly licenced and as a last resort impose sanctions on those that are not complying. The new councillor also says one of his priorities is to tackle the ongoing problems that have been caused by noisy nightlife in certain parts of the borough. News that should come as a relief to residents in the relevant zones.

On the day Gary left the photo details to his 14 year old daughter Ash Ferguson, who did a great job – watch out Dad, she’ll be taking over from you any day now… Here at Island Connections we send the couple all our best wishes.

unday 3rd July saw a first in the Canar y Islands at All Saints Church. Bishop David Hamid (Bishop of Gibraltar), Archdeacon David Sutch, Area Dean Canon Hugh Broad and Bishop’s chaplain Deacon Frances Hiller flew from Madrid following an ordination there, to Tenerife, for what is believed to be the first Anglican ordination in the Canary Islands: Jennifer Elliot de

Riverol who was made deacon in All Saints Church, Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. Deacon Jennifer has felt a calling to the ministry for over 20 years. She will ser ve as Assistant Curate in All Saints, Tenerife, with special responsibility for the Congregation of St Mar tin de Porres, on the neighbouring island of La Palma, where she has already ministered for a number of years as a reader. Her supervising incumbent is the Chaplain

of Tenerife North, the Revd Mike Smith. The Area Dean was the preacher for the service, and one of Jennifer’s lecturers at the Eastern Regional Ministry Course in Cambridge, the Revd Richard Morgan, was one of her presenters. Many parishioners from La Palma joined in the historic service in All Saints, and with great joy a new sense of partnership and mutual support was affirmed between the “mother

church” in Tenerife and the daughter congregation which Jennifer will lead in La Palma. A festive lunch was prepared by All Saints which was enjoyed by all present in the parsonage gardens.

rom the moment that the sound of the saxophone began to emanate from somewhere in the back of the crowd, the murmurs stopped and we were all spellbound. Making his way through the crowds towards the stage, Kenny G played ever y note to perfection. That he played so brilliantly was almost to be expected what came as a very welcome surprise, however, was that he was so nice. Humble, friendly and funny, he tried his best to say everything in Spanish, expressing on several occasions how happy he was to be playing in Tenerife for the first time. He set aside time to let each member of his band take centre stage – his percussionist was so brilliant that he almost overshadowed Mr G himself,

and gave us well over an hour of simply stunning music. Michael Bolton kept us all waiting (and waiting….) and the half hour break between Kenny G finishing and him starting was a little annoying due to the fact is was already almost midnight, but then he emerged – visibly older but

with the same stage presence he’s always had. He started off a little slowly, singing lesserknown numbers, but his Nessun Dorma really made us all sit up and pay attention, and from then on he really took it up a notch. Belting out classics such as Time, Love and Tenderness and Steel Bars he proved that

he’s still got it. But the night belonged to the undisputed King of the Saxophone. For one of our own team, graphic designer Mariusz Firek, it was doubly special. His girlfriend Brigitte couldn’t be there on the night so he bought her a Kenny G CD before the concert. All those who did so were automatically entered into a draw, and guess whose name and number came up? Yep, our own Mariusz, who, with his mother, was invited up on stage to be serenaded by the wonderful Kenny G and given an incredible prize of one of the musician’s saxophones. And we do swear that it wasn’t a fix! Really. He was just as stunned as the rest of us.

Guía swimming

The Isorano councillor for sports, José Fernando Rivero Jiménez is delighted that for the first time kids from the borough can learn to swim in their own municipal pool this summer.

“I am really proud this year…for the first time in the history of the borough the children from Guía de Isora don’t have to leave their home town to take summer swimming lessons”, he said. This is thanks to the opening of the municipal pool last March in the town. The first summer course for kids began on July 4th. Courses during the summer are at a variety of levels, from beginner upwards, and, says the councillor, give parents that essential sense of security when are children are playing near water as they will do particularly during the summer months. August courses begin on the first day of the month and consist of three classes a week, in the mornings, lasting 45 minutes. The children are divided according to age, from four year olds upwards, and according to José Rivero there are still places available for the August courses, and children from outside the borough are also welcome to sign up. The cost is €24 for children from Guía and €30 for those from outside the zone or not on the local register. Children who complete the course will also receive a diploma.

JMJ Madrid

Hundreds set for Pope trip Hundreds of young people from Tenerife are planning to travel to Madrid next month for the visit of Pope Benedict XVI and to attend the World Youth Day celebrations. Tenerife Bishop Bernardo Alvarez said

that 880 had signed up by the first week in July and he expected the number to rise even further by mid-August when the definitive plans are made. The event is set to attract upwards of one million young people from all over the world. Given the travel complications and costs from the Canaries, the diocese of Tenerife has organised local get-togethers for those who cannot afford the trip to allow them to participate in the spirit of the massive gathering, the high point of which will be the arrival of the Pope on 18 August for a welcome ceremony at Cibeles in the centre of Madrid.

Teachers’ breakfast gesture praised A

t a time when teachers invariably come under fire for anything from falling standards to long holidays, a piece of positive news has emerged from a secondar y school in south Tenerife, where staff generosity allowed dozens of pupils to have a proper breakfast before lessons last year. According to the Diario de Avisos paper, 60 pupils at the Cabo Blanco school were systematically given breakfast in the school cafeteria first thing in the morning at the teachers’ expense because their families

were too poor to provide for them. Head teacher Georgina Molina confirmed the helping hand provided throughout the last school year by the teachers, who contributed a total of €7,000 to fund juices, sandwiches and yoghurts for the teenagers. “We realised that many of them came from homes where money was in short supply,

often with both parents unemployed, and decided to help out directly when the Department of Education said it could not cover the costs” said Molina. The school identified 72 cases of children who ate nothing before arriving in the morning but the authorities only agreed to fund the 12 most urgent cases, she added.

Nightlife

Did you know that a starry starry night in the Canary Islands really is something very special.

he observation of natural phenomena has been bound to the history of humanity from the dawn of time and the extraordinary conditions offered by the Canarian night skies in Tenerife and La Palma in particular means that star gazing takes a qualitative leap. Two companies in particular are experts in presenting the night sky in all its glory to newcomers or aficionados, in Tenerife, Teide Astro and in La Palma, Astrotour.

Teide Astro During visits to the Cañadas del Teide in the late afternoon and early evening, when the National Park is settling down for a peaceful evening after the daily rush, Teide Astro’s experienced and qualified staff explain the contours and land-

the stunning clear night sky conditions visitors can learn about the history, legends and outlines of the night sky, present and past and those who get bitten by the astrology bug can later be kept in touch with changes and discoveries in the sky free of charge if they wish. The National Park can get very chilly so you will need warm clothing and sturdy footwear.

Night observation can be combined with other activities, from night hikes and potholing to a three course meal in the Parador Hotel. Prices for adults are from €19, children, depending on the number in the group, generally free.

Astrotour A relatively new company, Astrotour is already proving popular as guides to the stars from the Roque de los Muchachos in La Palma. When the sun goes down the show starts and using reference points such as the North Star and the constellations, further and more diffuse objects can be traced in the sky using the telescope.

They also host workshops and introductory courses to Astronomy.

However, over the last decades, the increasing mechanisation of agriculture, has meant that rural areas have had to found new businesses to prevent the exodus of young people to urban areas. The result has been a boom in rural tourism and a massive increase in the level of quality and the number of parallel activities on offer. Nowadays rural tourism is practically synonymous with ecotourism, as the areas fight to protect and look after the environment which is providing them with much needed additional jobs and income. In many areas it has also meant the resurgence of local crafts and traditions as souvenirs and tourist attractions and the upgrading and improvement of rural footpaths. In Spain, rural tourism is generally confined to small villages of 1,000 to 2,000 residents or in historical zones of the larger towns. The majority of the accommodation on offer is in older properties, which have been renovated and adapted for tourist use and many of them are family businesses offering a personalised, quality service. The type of accommodation on offer varies quite widely depending on what or where you choose.

Casa rural: There are normally various bedrooms with common elements such as the bathrooms, the salon and the kitchen, sometimes you will even be sharing with the owners, although they would normally also have a private area. If the owners live there, the tendency is for them to rent out rooms with some hotel-type services, such as cleaning or meals.

Alojamiento rural: This is similar to a tourist apartment, but differing in the kind of building and decoration etcetera that this type of accommodation tends to offer you, but you will have your own bathroom, kitchen, living room and separate

bedrooms.

Turismo infanto-juvenil: This includes farms, schools and recreation activities, to improve the youngsters knowledge and appreciation of ecological matters and looking after the environment. Often the offer will include excursions on foot or horseback.

Turismo cultural: Includes visits to farming museums, cultural heritage sites and/or adventure sports.

Hotel rural: Occasionally called posada rural or other names applied in the various Spanish regions. Generally larger buildings but with a reduced number of bedrooms, between four and ten, offering a daily cleaning service and a restaurant, these hotels work in a similar way to conventional hotels, but with the limitations implied by their size.

Centro de turismo rural: A small complex offering accommodation, a restaurant and installations, material and monitors for activities in the countryside.

Albergue: These hostels are available for pilgrims, young people or for general rural tourism. It’s a cheaper kind of accommodation often in dorms with more than three people per room and with less intimacy. In the Canaries all of these types of accommodation can be found, mainly advertised on the Internet through specialist rural tourist websites where they are categorised according to the type of accommodation, the quality level and their location. Perfect for rest and relaxation, if you are looking for a quiet holiday in the cooler areas of the hillsides, or the chance to explore some of the rich cultural heritage of the Islands this summer, rural tourism may well be the answer. Information on some of the accommodation available can be found on the main tourism information sites such as www.webtenerife. com and www.grancanaria.com.

100 per cent RES

El Hierro - renew your batteries T

he tiny island of El Hierro is the smallest Canary Island at just 287 square kilometres and an altitude of 1,501 metres yet it of fers landscapes of immense beauty, over half of which are protected. Magnificent cliffs of up to 1,200 metres high and rugged lava formations remarkably blend in with the surrounding rolling hills at its core. Another hidden secret of El Hierro is that it is rich in tropical vegetation,

and some of the clearest diving waters around, with the El Hierro Fotosub annual underwater photography now one of the top dates for divers. A not so hidden secret is the island’s move towards 100 per cent reliance on renewable energies only. Very soon El Hierro will become the first island in the world to be energy self-sufficient. This will be achieved through a €54 million project combining a greater than 11 megawatt wind farm and two hydroelectric projects. Most islands depend heavily on

imported fossil fuel. Security of supply at affordable prices may not be guaranteed in the future, jeopardizing all sustainable development efforts. Renewable energies, in particular wind and solar energy, offer islands a ‘clean’ abundant supply that can be reliably harvested at financially competitive levels. The understanding of the relationship between sustainable development and the innovative management of renewable energy is the central objective of the El Hierro project, which will demonstrate that it

is now possible for islands to achieve energetic independence. The most innovative part of this programme is the development of a Wind-Hydro power station, which is an original concept that combines wind power and hydropower, using water as an economic way of storing energy. Furthermore, and in order to demonstrate that the synergies between different RES can contribute greatly to increasing RE penetration into weak grids in isolated areas, PV, solar

thermal and biomass programmes will also be implemented. The closed-loop hybrid wind/ hydro system, to be tested by the end of 2011, is expected to save approximately US$4M per year (calculated with Januar y 2011 oil prices) currently spent on about 40,000 barrels of crude oil imported annually, and will make the island completely self sufficient for electrical energy.

Now that’s worth seeing!

Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas

Why Hotel Gran Rey makes a difference

here is a lot more to the Canary Islands than sun, sea and sand, though these three blessings shouldn’t be dismissed either. However given the diverse nature of the islands, the incredible volcanic landscapes and the wealth of flora and fauna different corners of each of the Canarian islands nurture and protect, it’s always worth looking inland as well as to the coasts for a holiday with a difference. Rural based holidays offer an increasingly popular alternative to families, couples and individual holidaymakers looking for a true escape during their vacation time. Many people are also happy to find a spot that truly allows them to unwind, disconnect and recharge while still enjoying all the ‘fortunate islands’ have to offer. A stay in the Hotel Gran Rey meets all these requirements, being along a divine stretch of La Gomera coastline, with a range of beaches within

walking distance, while also catering for those in search of a walking holiday, or a base for exploring the fascinating volcanic landscape this green drop in the blue ocean offers. That includes the quite amazing Parque Nacional Garajonay, with its indigenous laurisilva forest. The park, named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1986, was accorded the Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas in September 2008 and on July 21st the Hotel Gran Rey will become a Charter Partner. The forests have been described as a relic of the Mediterranean primitive forests dating from several million years ago which have persisted on islands because their particular climate is favourable. The European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas is a practical management tool that enables protected areas, such as the Parque Nacional Garajonay, to develop tourism sustainably. The core element of the Charter is working in partnership with all relevant stakeholders to develop

a common sustainable tourism strategy and an action plan on the basis of a thorough situation analysis. The aim of all Charter projects and activities is the protection of the natural and cultural heritage and the continuous improvement of tourism in the protected area in terms of the environment, local population and businesses as well as visitors. The Europark Federation aptly names these zones as “the green jewels of Europe’s land, sea, mountains, forests, rivers and cultural heritage”. At heart, the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism in Protected Areas is a partnership between a protected area and all those with a stake in how tourism in that park’s region is run. It also contains elements of a quality label as the park also commits itself to producing a comprehensive strategy and implementing an action plan for managing tourism. As such the Charter is a valuable management tool for ensuring that tourism development in Europe’s protected areas is sustainable.

The Hotel Gran Rey has long been one of the leaders in green tourism in all its forms, not simply at regional but also at national and international level. For a relatively small hotel (99 rooms) it has a giant commitment to the environment and has won numerous awards from public and hotel related bodies for its work in promoting sustainable tourism. It also carries a number of tourism quality symbols granted under various charters. The hotel has been a long-time supporter of the Parque Nacional Garajonay and facilitates many of its guests who wish to use it as a base to explore the green glories on offer. There is a themed library and wide selection of reading material on La Gomera and the Parque Nacional as well as walking guides and maps, guides to the endemic flora and fauna, and descriptions of the region’s natural, historical, gastronomic and cultural values. The hotel’s general manager Alberto Sanmartí explains that the bulk of visitors to the Hotel Gran

Rey want peace and quiet – thus no late night parties or events in the hotel. “They don’t have late nights because they are up bright and early to go hiking on one of the island’s many trails - clearly marked on the hotel’s own copyrighted map of La Gomera - or take a diving course run by a local school; neither do they drink that much because they need to be in good shape for their daily dose of exercise”. But even if you’re not an experienced walker, this is still the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Valley of the High King from the rooftop pool, or watch incredible sunsets from your balcony before joining the rest of the hotel’s guests for a buffet dinner on the terrace. The hotel staff is among the friendliest you will find, are themselves well informed as to the local rural delights, and can help you with queries about where to go and how to get there. The kitchens will even prepare packed lunches to go!

Increased protection

Market

Anniversary celebrations Special events are planned throughout July in the craft and agriculture market in Tegueste. The occasion is their seventh successful year of operation. Events planned include worshops on the environment, prize draws, gastronomic exhibitions, wine and food tastings, concerts etc. If you’ve never been, it’s a great time to visit, if you are already a client, don’t miss these special days that have been designed to thank existing clients as well as promote the market to new customers.

p until now if your finance company or bank repossesed your home, they could discount the sale of the property up to 50 per cent to clear some of the money owing to them. The central government has now changed the law so that the minimum sale value is 60 per cent of the valuation. They have also dropped the level of deposit necessary for people to take part in auctions from 30 per cent to 20 per cent, with the idea of attracting more potential buyers and thus hopefully increase the amount received for properties and increase the number of properties sold. For those who have lost their homes in this way, sadly there is often a debt outstanding to

the bank which leaves them paying for a home which they no longer possess, but the amount that the bank can claim back each month has also been reduced under the changed legislation. Previously the limit above which the income could be embargoed was set at a little over €700. This ceiling has been raised to €960 per month.

What’s more, if there are other family members dependent on the breadwinner who have no income, or whose income in below the minimum wage, this amount is increased by 30 per cent for each family member. So for example if you have to look after two close family members who are not earning up to the minimum wage per month, the

Commerce

amount you can ear n before the bank can touch a cent rises to €1,350. It is as yet unclear whether the new rules apply to upcoming cases or are to be applied to embargo orders already in place. If you are in this sad situation it could certainly be worth checking out.

Development funding

Summer sales

With opening discounts in many places of up to 50 per cent, despite the high temperatures, many people were drawn out onto the streets for the first day of the Sales, if not to buy, at least to investigate what was on offer. The president of the Canarian Federation of Urban Areas, Abas Moujir, says they believe that sales levels will be maintained and even show a small increase over 2010. A spokesperson for El Corte Inglés, Alfredo Medina, agreed, saying

However, others are less optimistic. As reported in our last issue, the Federation of Users and Consumers point out that Canarian residents spend around €42 per person in the sales, which is down on the national average of €50. The Tenerife Federation of Commerce believes that these numbers reflect the reality of consumption in the islands, so they too expect poor results.

Helping hand The island council has made available limited funds to help those in need. If you have low economic resources

and are going through a really hard time, you may qualify for one of the individual aid grants that are on offer. You have until December 15th to apply.

Motoring

The Islands are set to receive almost €2 million in funding from the European Fund for Regional Development (Feder).

June sales for vehicles in the Canaries saw 3,044 units registered, a fall of 8.8 pr cent over the same month last year. The figures were supplied by the car makers’

he total funding is €262.4 million for European regions in the period 2007-2013, of which the Canaries have been allocated €1.98 for the period 2011-2013. Cash is granted to projects that promote the development of locally sustainable development, contribute to regional development by improving urban renovation and those schemes that help areas which are at a natural disadvantage.

that they were talking about a, “forecast of increased billing of three to five per cent”. He added, “consumption in the first six months has been moderately good, so we are convinced that the sales will be a little better than last year”.

Low resources

European finance T

here are definitely more people on the streets this year checking out the bargains to be had at Summer Sales discounts.

The new restaurant is called Pasta & Pasta and specialises in pasta and salads, both options with a wide choice of tasty and healthy choices made with seasonal produce, ideal for those of us looking after our summer silhouette. The building next to the lake has been set aside for the new facility in the middle of a landscaped garden area with its own chill out zone which will be the hotel’s summer terrace. It is also open to those not resident in the hotel.

Car sales down association, Anfac and the sales association, Ganvam. Overall in Spain, 83,385 units were sold in June, a drop of 31.4 per cent, the biggest fall of the year, and marks 12 consecutive months of sales reductions. The vehicle sales volume is at its lowest level since 1993 with only 820,000 units registered in the last year.

he grants pay for up to 75 per cent of the cost of the projects, a great help it’s true, but sadly have sometimes been used in the past for projects which have no continuation. So, old buildings have been renovated, but are now in ruins again as there was no finance available to run ongoing projects once they were in working order, or new buildings have remained empty for lack of funding to kickstart and maintain new ventures.

here seems to be little or no control over what happens to the projects once they are completed - after all why should there be? It’s only public money after all.

Binter

Sporting weight Passengers on Binter flights who travel with sports equipment will be delighted at the new changes. From now on, an extra five kilos weight is allowed for your bicycle, golf clubs, surf boards etc. over and above the amount already specified in the tariff. The increased allowance is only for sports equipment and does not cover hand baggage or normal hold luggage.

ver the years, Key Property has gained a reputation as an active business partner among financial institutions and large companies which are selling off assets and carr ying out courtordered asset liquidations.

The crisis which began at the end of 2007 and early 2008 has caused the number of bank loans being defaulted on to skyrocket and has resulted in a tremendous lack of liquidity among large corporations, as well as bankruptcies. Key Properties has been managing the complete process of these liquidations for 18 years, with banks, companies and courts in the

Canaries and on the Costa del Sol. During the last two years of what has become known as the ‘Ninja crisis’ (no income, no job or assets), this asset sector has increased exponentially and companies such as Key Property Group have made the management of these cases their speciality. These properties range between 25 and 50 per cent below market prices for reasons such as: lack of liquidity in companies or an excess of corrosive assets in the banking sector... Today amongst the homes for sale by Key Properties as court asset liquidations are a number of apartments in Club La Paz, in Puerto de la Cruz. This is a residential area beside the

Botanical Garden and Hotel Botánico. There are a wide selection of properties for sale, from surprisingly large one bedroom (from 65 m2) and two bedroom apartments (from 80m2) with terraces. The apartments are on sale fully furnished and prices start from €110,000. For more information visit the Key Properties website,www.key-property. com or call them on 922 788 125/638 187 809.

he number of new mortgages registered in April, the latest figures available, fell by 38.2 per cent in comparison with the same month last year.

The general property register showed 31,358 new home mortgages in April, a drop which means that the market has now been falling for a full year. It is the largest drop since April 2009 which registered a decrease of 41.6 per cent according to information published by the Spanish National Statistics Institute. The amount of the loans agreed to averaged €106.889, a decrease of 6.1 per cent over April 2010 and 4.9 per cent less than March this year. The average mor tgage for these properties was €113,425, 12.1 per cent less than the same month the previous year, and 2.7 per cent less than the March 2011 figure. The biggest mor tgages were signed in Navarre with an average of €208,793. Savings banks again led the field in the number of mortgages granted with 49.2 per cent of the total, followed by the banks

with 37.5 per cent. The savings banks lent 43.4 per cent of the total amount of cash with the banks just topping them at 44 per cent. Cancelled mortgages amounted to 40,048, 13 per cent less than in the same period the previous year. The average interest paid by lenders in April was 4.04 per cent, and increase of 3.1 per cent on the year on year figures and 2.5 per cent up on March 2011. Average interest set by the savings banks was at 4.04 per cent with an average length of loan of 22 years. In the banks you could expect to pay 4.24 per cent with a loan length of 21 years. The vast majority, 94.2 per cent of loans, were variable interest rate with only 5.8 per cent of lenders choosing a fixed rate option and within the variable interest rate option, the Euribor was the reference rate most frequently chose with 84.1 per cent of new contracts being tied to it. The region which took out the most mortgages was Murcia, with 186 new contracts signed for ever y 100,000 inhabitants, but even so it was a drop of 25 per cent over the same period in 2010. Andalusia signed 163 mortgages for every 100,000 inhabitants a reduction too for

Euribor

them of 20.2 per cent from the previous year. The biggest drop in the number of loans signed was in Aragón where only 105 new mortgages were signed per 100,000 inhabitants, a reduction of 60.3 per cent on 2010, followed by Castilla La Mancha with 102 per 100,000 and a drop of 58.9 per cent. In the Canaries, 2,281 new mortgages were signed for an average amount of €101,576. Over half, 1,215 were signed in the province of Las Palmas for an average of €100,062 whilst in Santa Cruz de Tenerife 1,066 new contracts were signed, for an average of €103,303. Of the urban buildings loans in the islands, 1,410 of the loans were given by the banks and 622 by the savings banks. In Las Palmas 871 loans were given by the banks in comparison to 201 by the savings banks, but in Santa Cruz the numbers were more equal with 539 loans from the banks and 416 from the local savings banks. Here in the islands almost as many loans were cancelled as new loans taken out, with a total of 1,840 mortgages ceasing to exist, 857 less in Gran Canaria and 983 less in Santa Cruz.

Wooden heart A

round 5,000 companies from the wood sector have closed with the loss of 126,000 jobs and the industry is looking for new markets in renovation work and international sales. Francis Huidobro is president of the Spanish Confederation of Wood Companies (Confemadera). The Confederation covers the whole range of companies involved in the industry from the lumberjacks to the furniture makers and includes some 31,400 companies.

The industry in itself is healthy with 25 per cent more land planted in the last five years, but they are fighting against illegal fellings and the incursion of other products such as aluminium or PVC although in the last years there has been a return to demand for real wood in homes. Huidobro underlined the number of homes in the country which are over 30 years old, many of which need updating and renovating and he is involved in encouraging companies to attend the large industry fairs to boost

export business and to bid for work in the developing areas such as the Arab countries and North Africa.

Mortgage rate down The Euribor, the interbank lending rate upon which the majority of mortgages in Spain are based, came down in June. Welcome news for those who are about to sign up for a new loan as it is the first time that the rate has decreased in the last five months and will mean lower payments for them for the next year, however those who are due to have their payments revised this

month, will still face average rises of over €700 per year. Householders with a mortgage of 150,000 over 25 years will be paying €741 a year more than in 2010, around €61 a month. The downturn in the Euribor has been attributed to comments by the President of the European Central Bank, Jean Claude Trichet, about the stability of prices in the Eurozone. However the money markets have already discounted a further increase in the official rate which is expected to take place in July setting the price of money in Europe at 1.5 per cent.

Church property

Holy orders? According to reports in national newspaper El País the Catholic Church in Spain have been quietly and systematically adding to their property portfolio thanks to a 1998 regulation that gave bishops the right to take over the ownership of unregistered lands and buildings. The report says that since the introduction of the reform the Church have been quietly acquiring churches, plots of land, vineyards, rectories and other assets which have never been properly registered elsewhere, and today many council records are showing that properties until now reckoned to be communal, and funded by public monies, are registered as Church property. The paper reports that the list in Navarre, for instance, also included

credit>agrid

houses and garages, including all the contents and the practice appears to be widespread. Alejandro Torres, professor of law at the University of Navarre has said that the practice is unconstitutional and that the church cannot act with the same authority as a publically constituted body.

Property advice from the British Embassy / PART II

‘Célula de habitabilidad’

Not so fortunate Bank By Barbara Belt

orty-two families are still unable to live in the new homes they bought in a new building in island capital San Sebastián two years ago. Popularly known as the Afortunadas (fortunate ones) building because it was built on the site of the old Las Afortunadas builders’ merchants and hardware yard, the blighted building remains empty while the long and acrimonious wrangle between new owners, builders and an estate agent continues. Yaquelin Chávez, owner of one of the flats and spokesperson for the group, talks about the problem: “All of us have picked up the keys and are waiting to move in. We’ve been waiting for ages and are totally fed up with the situation.The whole building lacks the certification necessary to be able to get electricity and a proper water supply laid on.” The certificate mentioned is the all important ‘célula de habitabilidad’, which would prove the building is habitable. All new buildings need one in order to connect to essential services. “Until we get this, there’s no chance of living in our new homes. There’s a water supply that we could use at a push. It’s the temporary water supply

The row centres on a new building in La Gomera’s capital, San Sebastián

that was piped in for the builders to use and could be adapted, although, strictly speaking, it’s illegal to use it for household purposes. The problem is there’s absolutely no electricity supply and we’ve investigated all the ways of getting one, albeit temporarily, but drawn a blank. “We can’t live there without electricity. Legally, we can’t live there at all without the certificate, but some of us are desperate now and considering moving in, facing the consequences and trying to manage with alternatives such as gas and solar power. “It’s all very well saying we can’t legally live there, but what are we supposed to do? A lot of us have been paying mortgages for the new places as well as renting somewhere to live while this gets sorted out, but nothing’s being sorted out and we’ve had enough. The local law court’s a bad joke, with the culprits protected by friends in high places”. The unfortunate owners have been warned by the local council and police that there will be “serious repercussions” if they illegally inhabit their properties. They, in turn, point out that they denounced this property swindle two years ago when it was first apparent there were problems and are still waiting for justice.

guarantees I

f you are buying a property off-plan or under construction, always insist on a bank guarantee (aval bancario) to cover your stage payments. Do not make any payments without a guarantee. Developers of off-plan properties are legally obliged under law 57/1968 to secure all deposits with a bank guarantee.

Learn more about bank guarantees before you buy.

Completion:

Before you complete your property purchase you should make sure you have seen: • The property registry report (nota simple), which lists the owner(s), and reveals if there are any debts and/or charges, such as a mortgage, attached to the property • Planning permission: you must ensure that when buying off-plan from a developer, the development has approval from both the local ayuntamiento (town hall) and the regional government. It is also worth going to the Urbanismo (Town Planning) department of the local town hall to have a look at the Plan General de Ordenación Urbana (Urban Plan) which will state whether or not the plot you wish to buy has any building restrictions, is in a green zone or includes a public pathway or similar • The paid-up receipt for the previous owner’s annual property tax (IBI). It is also wise to get a certificate from the town hall proving that there are no unpaid rates from previous years • The Catastral certificate giving the exact boundaries and square

metres of your land • The licence of first occupancy (licencia de primera ocupación) which is issued by the town hall for new buildings and certifies that the property is habitable. You will need this document to connect to electricity and water companies. Developers cannot force you to complete without this licence • Receipt to prove all utility bills have been paid by the previous owner • Paid-up receipts for the annual fees of the Comunidad de Propietarios (Community of Property Owners), the bylaws governing the Community of owners (including fees) and the minutes from the last AGM • A property survey: this is not obligatory but it is wise to get a chartered surveyor to check the property before you complete • If you are buying an off-plan property, confirm that the property has been certified as finished by a registered architect (Certificado de final de obras) • If you are buying off-plan, ensure that the developer/constructor has the necessary insurance to cover building defects. This insurance should be included in the property

manual (libro del edificio) that the developer gives you • The private contract – this contract is not obligatory but is usually signed between the buyer and the seller before the public deed is granted. You should make sure that you fully understand the contract before you sign it and if you are not fluent in Spanish you should get it translated • The Escritura Pública (public deed) – it is important to check that there is an accurate description of the property in the deeds.

Coastal properties:

If you are considering purchasing a coastal property you should contact the Demarcación de Costas (coasts department) in your region to get a certificate to certify that the property is not affected by the 1988 Ley de Costas (Coastal Law). It is also possible to view the coastal boundaries for certain areas (though not all) online on the Environment Ministry’s website.

In 2000 there was Sarah Lou’s Baby:

Sarah Louise Platt shocked the nation when a trip to the doctors with mum Gail revealed that the 13 year old was actually five months pregnant. After being praised by government ministers for raising the issue of teenage pregnancy and for showing the hardships that young mothers face, Coronation Street was then applauded by its peers when the plot won Best Storyline at the British Soap Awards.

2009 saw Sally’s Cancer Battle: After bracing himself to tell his wife Sally that he was leaving her for Molly Dobbs on Christmas Day 2009, Kevin Webster was stunned into silence when Sally broke her devastating news first that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Actress Sally Dynevor, who plays Sally Webster, researched the storyline herself, but found the scripts drew a parallel with her own life - when she too found a lump.

It touches on the plots and characters that have made headlines and courted controversy, broken new ground in television drama, challenged taboos and reflected the seismic changes in society which have occurred since the very beginning of the soap in 1960. Narrated by David Morrissey, the programmes will exclusively feature previously unseen footage, cast interviews both past and present and classic highlights from the show. This series celebrates Britain’s longest running TV soap and provides a closer look at how the show has continually produced some of the most talked-about storylines ever seen.

his nemesis Baldwin on his own doorstep prompted a front page splash, and changed the way in which tabloids reported on soaps. Anne Kirkbride, who plays Deirdre, tells the programme: “Ken and Deirdre had a nice and pleasant marriage, but of course it’s Coronation Street and people don’t want to watch pleasant things, they want to watch things go wrong.”

Poo-l side behaviour

with their kids including what looked like a six-month old baby who was naked in the pool. I know where my suspicions lie.

Dear Editor

I have kids, I know accidents can happen. But you monitor small children who don’t have full control of their bodily functions rather than allowing them in an adult pool where accidents can happen. And if they do happen you own up and clean up. Simple and straightforward and everyone will appreciate your honesty.

rue story. Last week we were enjoying the pool in our complex, with a crowd of owners and visitors. My six year old come up to me, ‘mum, there’s poo in the pool’. And unfortunately she was right. Three times I had to find a plastic bag and remove human waste from our community pool, at which stage I and the other owners told our kids to leave the pool, contacted the caretaker and made sure the pool specialists were in by 7am the next morning.

It’s called r esponsible parenting. Yours sincerely Kathleen McCann

Whose fault? Not sure, but there was one family who sat sheepishly by the poolside as I inspected the damage, and another noisy lot who had earlier been splashing around

recently spent a great night with my partner at the fiesta on San Juan’s Eve in Puerto de la Cruz. What seemed like thousands of people gathered on the beach and the marine walk on and around Playa del Jardín. People separated their own areas from their neighbours by walls of little rocks, they brought food, tents and lots of drink. Many had lit bonfires or were burning candles. It was a truly great night with some excellent entertainment including Benito Cabrera and the group Sin Saldo.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

Work pressures can be hard to deal with right now if you have delayed your summer holiday for family reasons. Don’t let people get you down. You know where your priorities lie. Be true to yourself.



Cancer (June 21 to July 21)

If you are already in a relationship things could get particularly steamy towards the end of the month. If not be prepared for interest from an unexpected corner as an old flame makes a reappearance. Red is always a great summer colour for you.



Leo (July 22 to August 21)

News from abroad may disappoint – someone cancelling a planned trip or a family member whose health has taken a downward spiral. Take the initiative instead and if you can travel and see them instead. You might be glad you did.



Virgo (August 22 to September 21)

Something you have been planning for a long time in your professional life is finally coming together, so do wait for the final pieces to fall into place. If you rush things now you could jeopardise the whole project. However do look to your personal life – your partner also needs a bit of attention.

Scorpio (October 23 to November 21)

Taurus (April 21 to May 20)

Get your bags packed as someone might surprise you with an unexpected weekend away. Hope you’ve got sea legs as it looks like you’re travelling by boat. Check out the summer sales before you go – a new bargain wardrobe is on the cards.

New opportunities present themselves, but will you take the leap? Financial stability is all very well but at what personal price. Don’t rush into hasty decisions, look at the big picture. And don’t forget, what you do also affects those around you.



Aries (March 21 to April 20)

Kids may be prone to a few summer bugs towards the end of the month – and if your defences are down chances are you’ll get hit too. Eat healthily and don’t overdo the summer sangrias…

But, as a southern resident, what I’d like to know is why can Puerto de la Cruz have a beach fiesta and concert and Arona not? Surely what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander? Is it that the people who go to the San Juan festival are mainly Spanish whilst those who go to the southern one would be mainly foreigners? It makes you wonder. The decision is apparently made by the coastal department in Spain I believe, which also authorises beach parties all over the Spanish peninsula, but not it would seem here in the south of Tenerife. Perhaps the council ought to think about appealing to Europe on the grounds of discrimination.

Nikki Attree has just designed a leaflet for Acciondel-sol refuge as an educational tool to make children aware of the responsibility of dog ownership. Check it out. http:// www.tenerifedogs.com/ gizmostory1.html.

Sagittarius (November 22 to December 20)

If you’ve been laid low recently take heart – you’re ready to bounce back into action, so watch out world as all that energy you’ve been storing up is ready to be released. Romance should take a new twist too. Enjoy



Capricorn (December 21 to January 19)

Is your partner paying you less attention than usual? Don’t be too concerned – the signs are that he or she is worried about money rather than your relationship but doesn’t want to share their concerns with you. Let them know that you can handle the truth. A problem shared…



Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)

When your past starts to catch up with you it’s not always pleasant. The best thing to do is to face it. There are a few mistakes that need to be rectified and some apologies that need to be made.



Pisces (February 19 to March 20)

The next few months will bring some tough economic challenges. No one is immune and you will feel particularly vulnerable. Don’t be afraid to seek help and learn to listen to advice. You can’t always do it on your own.

Hands On

Gardening&DIY>

Planning and designing your garden Bring colour and life to your garden

Keep it cheap

By Kathy Wilson

 The burning questions are: • Is it to be a place purely for relaxing and/ or entertaining? • Do you need it to be a haven for the children and/or pets? • Do you want to grow fruit and vegetables? • Would you like your garden to be an extension of your home? The other big factor to take in to account, is how much time you have spare to tend to and maintain your garden. And last but not least, the cost will obviously play a big part in any decisions you decide to take.

Today’s trends in gardening seem to be, ‘keep it simple’ and ‘more is less’. When it comes, for example, to planting, there is always the danger of over planting. Always take into consideration the growing space the plants will need – unless of course you are planting mature, fully grown plants, shrubs or trees. If you don’t like the ‘emptiness’ of the newly planted garden, you can always infill with annual plants and achieve a more completed look instantaneously. Unfortunately, a lot of gardening is trial and error. Different plants survive better in different parts of the island. If you live up in the mountains, or in the north of the island, then you’ll find success with certain plants that perhaps you wouldn’t if you are living in the south of the island. If you are in doubt, your local garden centre should be able to advise you.

If you want to add colour to a room fast, paint is a great option. To save time and money however, try just painting the focal wall in a room. In most average rooms, you can paint just one wall in less than an hour!

Helpful hints for around the house

fast and easy summer decorating ideas

ummer decorating should add freshness to your home, not bog you down with more projects during an already busy season. Here are some of the budget decorator’s top easy, fast and cheap summer decorating ideas.

hether you are starting with an empty plot of land, or an established garden, the first thing you need to decide is what you exactly want to get from your garden.

Instead of sewing up new pillow covers and tablecloths, try using no-sew techniques instead. Pillows can be wrapped in a piece of unfinished fabric on the diagonal like a present, and wrapped with decorative ribbon to secure it. Use duct tape to put a temporary hem in flat sheets or older tablecloths to make them fit your end tables and breakfast nooks. Once you have those tables covered, use cardboard boxes pushed under the tables to hide the kid’s toys and books and flip flops, but keep them handy. The floor length tablecloths will hide the storage area.

Take a box around the room and pick up all your knick knacks and collectibles. Now replace just three of your favorite items or collections. You will appreciate the less cluttered look, and the decrease in dusting chores as well!

Take down your layered window treatments and pick up your area rugs for a cool, clean look for summer. Be sure to leave mini blinds or sheers on your windows for privacy and light control.

Clean the glass in all areas of your home! The shiny surfaces in your home reflect light and sparkle, both contribute to a fresh summer look. Don’t forget glass TV screens, kitchen appliances, and even picture frame glass. Try this one technique, and see if your rooms don’t look brighter and cheerier, for no more cost than a little effort and a few pennies of glass cleaner or vinegar!

Finally, mix up your décor a bit for a fresh take on your home. Move around some furniture, borrow and lend pieces from other rooms. Use clear strings of holiday light over the top of cabinets for sparkle. Bring

Paint some of your ageing furniture white out your good china and hang it on the wall as art. Put your toaster or bread machine under the cabinets for a cleaner look. Feel free to take down some wall art and store it for next winter. Paint your aging dining set a bright white. Whatever you do to bring the summer season into your homes, make sure that you pick a couple of ideas from this list, and give them a try. They are fast, easy and cheap.

Taxman vs. taxpayer

Switzerland still under scrutiny

By Bill Blevins, Financial Correspondent, Blevins Franks

hile Switzerland once had the reputation as the place to keep savings out of reach of the taxman, those days are all but over. In 2005 Swiss banks began taxing accounts owned by EU residents as part of the EU Savings Tax Directive, even though it is not an EU Member itself. The withholding tax rate was initially 15 per cent but is 35 per cent from this July. In 2009, after the increased global campaign against tax havens, Switzerland agreed to soften its strict banking secrecy to help other countries catch tax evaders and pledged to comply with standards set by the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD). The OECD’s Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes recently published nine new

repor ts, or “peer reviews”, on the willingness of various jurisdictions to reveal private bank information. It included one on Switzerland, released on 1st June 2011.

Zurich

Switzerland has made considerable concessions

Switzerland has made considerable concessions to obtain OECD approval and the peer review noted a number of positive developments. The country’s approach to exchange of information for tax purposes has changed significantly over the past two years, having historically adopted a restrictive approach, and it has made rapid progress to implement its commitment to the internationally agreed standard. However Switzerland failed the review on several “essential elements”.

information agreements in line with the standard, its Phase 2 review will proceed in the second half of 2012.

It is risky for anyone to rely on Swiss banks - or banks in any other country for that matter - to provide complete and long-term confidentiality. The only way forward is through authorised arrangements which allow you to mitigate tax in a legitimate manner. because of this issue and has already taken steps to correct it.

this, it could not be taken into account for the current OECD peer review.

Its agreements for exchanging information and identifying taxpayers are still too restrictive and not fully in line with the standard. This is because Switzerland currently obliges foreign tax authorities to provide identity information in their requests for information.

In February the Federal Department of Finance agreed to respect foreign government’s demands for information about unnamed individual’s accounts at unspecified banks, provided the request was not just a fishing expedition.

Switzerland had been warned that it would fail its peer review

However because Swiss parliament had not yet voted on

Switzerland also failed because of a law which states that if a request for tax information is made by a foreign tax authority, the individual concerned must be informed and allowed to inspect the request and the data to be given to the overseas authority. In future, therefore, Swiss bank account owners could have their accounts disclosed

without their knowledge. Switzerland was also criticized for the continuing existence of “bearer savings books” (albeit they are being phased out), and for allowing Swiss companies to issue bearer shares where ownership cannot be established. This was just ‘Phase 1’ of the peer review, and provided Switzerland has brought a significant number of exchange of

Dear Dr. De La Flor Due to a chronic urinar y infection, the consultant has given me a two-month course of antibiotics. On top of that I take daily pills for blood pressure and diabetes. Are there any foods that I need to avoid when taking antibiotics? Can I drink?

Ana

Antibiotics usually come from your pharmacist with an insert telling you what you can and can’t do while you’re taking them, including the foods you should avoid eating. Even though you don’t mention any specific antibiotic, there are some general guidelines for the most widely used ones:

Dairy Products: Milk and other dairy products can aggravate your intestines while you’re taking antibiotics. This is especially true when taking ciprofloxacin (very common for urinary tract infections) with milk, although taking it with foods that include milk as an ingredient should be okay. Full-fat products can also worsen the diarrhoea that is sometimes a side effect of antibiotics. Fibre: Certain high-fibre vegetables and beans can also aggravate antibiotic-induced diarrhoea. Wheat products fortified with iron or calcium can interfere with your body’s ability to absorb some antibiotics, particularly quinolones (ciprofloxacin). Some juices contain soluble fibre and may be fortified with calcium.

and alcohol can have similar side effects, so consuming both together can increase the chance that you’ll experience them. You might risk nausea, dizziness or drowsiness to an increased degree if you combine them. Many antibiotics do not interact well with any food at all. Generally, the insert with your prescription will advise you when and how to take them. Always make sure that your GP knows all medications you’re taking. Interactions can play tricky games. Make sure you get a urinary lab test at the end of your antibiotic course to confirm proper kidney function as well as infection eradication. Best wishes.

Dear Dr. De La Flor I have persistent acid reflux. Will taking omeprazol work for me?

Ted

Dear Ted, Omeprazol is a proton pump

Acidic Foods: The acid inhibitor (PPI) that curbs stom-

content in certain foods can disrupt your body’s ability to absorb medications in general. You don’t always have to avoid them entirely, however. You can sometimes consume acidic foods and beverages, including ketchup and tomatoes, fruit juices and fizzy drinks, well ahead of taking a dose of your medication or hours afterward. If you’re unsure, ask your pharmacist or your G.P.

Alcohol: Alcohol doesn’t generally interfere with antibiotics. However, antibiotics

ach acid production, keeping gastric juice from backing up into the oesophagus and causing heartburn. But PPIs don’t always work, sometimes because heartburn has been misdiagnosed or because we don’t eat and drink properly. Even when they do work, up to 40 per cent of patients can still have breakthrough symptoms from time to time. Fortunately, you can be proactive and take steps to prevent and minimize breakthrough symptoms: Take medication correctly: If you don’t know how and when to take your meds, call

your GP for specific instructions regarding type, dose and timing. Typically, PPIs are given 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. However, some people do better taking two doses a day to stave off nighttime symptoms.

Don’t hit the sack on a full belly: Lying down within

three to four hours of consuming a large meal, particularly a late-evening feast, could spell trouble. Stay away from late eating, large meals, and recumbence. Such a triple threat may pose too large of an insult on the body, one that even PPIs, the gold standard in GERD treatment, can’t handle. For nighttime symptoms sometimes it’s necessary to elevate the head of the bed with blocks or using a bed wedge to prop the upper torso and allow gravity to work to your advantage.

Shed a few pounds:

Overweight patients are more prone to have reflux symptoms. Try over-the-counter drugs, they are effective in knocking out acid. The paradox is that they’re not very effective when taken daily, because people develop a tolerance to the drug. What I suggest to my patients is to take an overthe-counter H2 blocker when they have their breakthrough symptoms.

Know your triggers: If jalapeños or onions always get you, consider skipping them. If you’re going to eat spicy food, taking an H2 blocker an hour or so before may help stop symptoms. But if you make changes and still have heartburn, get help. If you are having residual symptoms several times per week, and certainly if you’re having residual symptoms to the point that it’s interfering with your ability to

f you are not in shape yet to wear your best bikini here are some quick tips for the last minute workout and nutrition.

RESOLUTION:

Let’s try for the next two weeks to find meaning in every obstacle we encounter in our daily fight. Even in dire situations, we can be resourceful and find an inner reason to overcome ourselves, to see light at the end of the tunnel. We are destroyed internally and externally we wander around doing things to keep up with someone else or just going through the motions of life, following the crowd or a swine herd. 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.

Dr. De La Flor, licensed G.P. /Family Doctor. Holds cer tificates in coaching, nutrition and medical exercise from Berkeley University and the American Council on Exercise. His medical approach is highly influenced by Positive Psychology; an empowering, encompassing way of approaching patients through the study of their strengths and vir tues to enable them to thrive and lead fulfilling lives, accept the past, find happiness in the present, and hope for the future. You can reach the doctor at 00-34697.888.666 to schedule a consultation in his surgery or in your home/business. sleep or function on a day-today basis, you should definitely talk to your GP about it. Please write down everything about your signs and symptoms, timing, food and drinking habits, sleeping habits and bring it to your GP so that he/she can personalise your treatment.

1. Move more!

4. Less carbs!

They key to losing those extra pounds is still the same. Use more energy than you ingest, in other words burn more calories than you eat. So the first hint is, if you do not have a gym available just use the stairs instead of the elevator, the bike instead of the car, and so on. If you would like to train but you are limited in time give us a call and we send you your proper personal trainer who makes sure you will get in shape soon

Try to stop eating carbs apart from the time after workout. Here a medium blood sugar level is the key to constant fat burn

2. Protein!

Of course these are only some general tips. But there is a lot of sense behind them. For further information about Fats, carbs and protein visit the IC-media website and look for my other articles. The best way to get in shape is of course the combination of a planned a personalized workout and a tailor-made nutritionl plan.

Eat a moderate amount of protein. Make sure you do eat between 20-40gr of protein with each meal (women) or 40-60gr of protein (men).

3. No alcohol! I know that sounds hard for most people, but alcohol is a product which contains 7kcal/gr. This energy will be used before your body even thinks about touching your fat reserves.

5. More good fats!

Add good fats to your meals. Good fats are, for example, olive oil, vegetable oil, avocado and nuts.

6. Vegetables!

Add vegetables to each meal. Make sure your plate contains at least three different colors with a meal.

If you feel that now is the time to get in shape feel free to contact me at my gyms at 922790599 or at 676243102. As well you can contact us via email at info@bfit.es.

Animals on holiday

BritishEmbassy

Taking pets to the UK

Part II - Unfamiliar territory

f you are travelling on holiday with your pet don’t forget, your animal is on unfamiliar territory and will more easily become lost. Make sure it is wearing an identification tag so that if it does become lost it can be located quickly. Under Spanish law all dogs should be chipped anyway and some boroughs also insist on cats having the same device installed. If you decide not to chip your cat at least make sure he or she wears an identity ‘barrel’ or tag with a contact number. Not all animals are natural swimmers. Place a fence around swimming pools and consider using a life jacket to protect your dog in the water or while boating. Take care near the sea or reservoirs. Don’t take your pets to crowded summer events such as concerts, fairs or fireworks

displays. The loud noises and the crowds, combined with the heat, can be stressful and dangerous for them. Cats and dogs often become alarmed and disoriented during fireworks displays and, in their confusion, they may escape from the garden or house and get lost. Keep animals indoors in a quiet, protected area during fireworks celebrations which are very frequent in the summer fiesta months. Be careful when walking your dog on unfamiliar territory, especially the rural parks where the land still belongs to the farmers and we are merely permitted to use the roads and footpaths. Many people take advantage of the warmer temperatures to fertilize their land or treat plants with insecticides that can be fatal if ingested by animals. In addition there are over 700 plants that are known to be toxic and can be harmful

to animals. Some common plants that may produce a toxic reaction in animals are azaleas, apple seeds, daffodils, philodendrons, wisteria and poinsettia, none of which are endemic to the Canaries, but all of them grow here. Your dog is not allowed to travel loose in the back of a pick-up truck. The only safe way to transport your dog is in the back of the car, using a proper restraining grill or in a secured crate in the bed of the truck. A dog riding in the back of a pick-up has no way to protect itself in the case of an accident or if the driver steps on his or her brakes suddenly. Never leave your dog standing on extremely hot concrete or cement as his body can quickly absorb the heat and his paws may burn, and of course never leave your animal in a parked car for any length of time here, even with the windows open.

ew rules will make it easier and cheaper to take pets to the United Kingdom.

Dog and cat owners will find it cheaper and easier to travel to the UK with their pets when new rules are introduced at the start of next year. The UK will harmonise its pet movement rules with the rest of the European Union from 1 January 2012, bringing the UK’s Pet Travel Scheme into line with the most recent science. The UK will maintain its high level of protection against animal diseases after the changes, which have the potential to save pet owners around £7 million in fees. However forcing pets to spend six months in quarantine, a practice dating from the 1800s, is no longer necessary because of vastly improved rabies vaccines and treatments. All pets will still need to be vaccinated against rabies but pets from the EU will no longer need a blood test and will only have to wait 21 days before they travel. The changes will ensure the risk of rabies coming to the UK remains extremely low. It’s estimated that the new rules mean there would be one case of rabies in a pet in the UK once every 211 years, with the possibility of a person dying from rabies obtained from a pet once in every 21,000 years. The Health Protection Agency considers Spain a ‘no risk’ country for rabies. The UK’s Environment Secretary, Caroline Spelman, said, “the UK’s quarantine system was designed to combat the threat of rabies in the 19th century and has now been left far behind by scientific advances. What is needed is a simpler, evidence-based system for protecting the UK from rabies which recognises the actual risk to pets and pet

owners. The EU’s pet movement scheme has been working very well for nearly a decade, and it makes sense for us to have similar rules.” Chief Medical Officer, Professor Dame Sally Davies, commented, “rabies is a very serious human disease and the rabies-free status of the UK must be protected. The EU pet travel rules have been successful in preventing any cases of rabies occurring in legally moved pets since the scheme started, so harmonising the UK’s rules with those of the EU will make it easier for those who wish to travel with their pets.” The UK will continue to protect the public against the risk of serious exotic tapeworm infections and is pressing to retain tapeworm controls for pets entering the UK. The government has been discussing with the European Commission the most appropriate form of tapeworm controls for dogs, to ensure the UK continues to be protected from Echinococcus multilocularis. The Commission has recently indicated that its proposals, expected shortly, would enable the UK and other tapeworm-free countries to retain tapeworm controls, with a requirement that animals be treated between one and five days before returning to the UK. Dog tapeworm is common in southern Spain. Tick treatment for pet animals returning to the UK will no longer be required. All pet owners travelling abroad with their animals should discuss with their vets the use of treatments, including those designed to control ticks as part of good animal health practice. Detailed information on what pet owners and vets need to do before bringing a pet to the UK can be found at http://www.defra. gov.uk/wildlife-pets/pets/travel or obtained from the UK helpline +44 (0)870 241 1710.

India-Canaries Cultural Meeting Ratha Yatra 2011 July 17, 6.30pm

Swan Lake is probably one of the world’s most famous ballets, and was first performed by the Bolshoi in Moscow with choreography by Julius Reisinger in 1877. Curiously it wasn’t hugely popular at the outset, but with new choreography devised by Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov it was performed to great acclaim in 1895 in the Mariinsky Theatre in Saint Petersburg. Don Quixote is a ballet in three acts based on chapter 19 of Book II of Cervantes famous work. The music was composed by Ludwig Minkus and the work was first performed in 1869 en in the Teatro Bolshoi in Moscow. Choreographer Petipa revised the dance a number of times. The story line revolved around the lovers Kitri and Basilio in the company of Don Quijote and Sancho Panza. The Moscow Ballet was founded in 1989 by the Russian dancer and Timur Fayziez with some of the top dancers who were previously with the Bolshoi and the Stanislavsky companies. Today the Moscow Ballet is recognised as one of the most important dance companies in the world, and was chosen by Rudolf Nureyev for his last European tour.

The hugely popular Mexican group last played in Santa Cruz in 2007, and this year the concert will be staged by LM Producciones with support from the Santa Cruz council and the city’s development organisation as well as the regional department of culture. They will also perform a concert in Las Palmas on September 23rd. The gig will kick off at 10am with Fher Olvera, Juan Callejeros, Alex González and Sergio Vallín, the Maná line up, presenting their latest album, Drama y Luz, which has already notched up excellent sales world wide. The sta-

The cultural department of the Ayuntamiento de Arona invites everyone to come to this second Ratha Yatra event, which falls under the UNESCO banner and is intended to form a cultural meeting between India and the Canaries and encourage peace and an International understanding. The festival will include a traditional procession, literature, gastronomy, astrology, beauty, health, aromas, live performances and theatre. Hotel H10 Conquistador in Playa de las Américas. Entry is free.

The Festival:

Arona Summer Festival

Arona August 12

Parisian producer and DJ, David Guetta will be topping the bill, with Roger Sánchez, Rinôçérôse, The Zombies Kids and Bikini Invaders, Antonio Domínguez Olympic Stadium in Playa de las Américas on August 12, and also offers theatre, dance, juggling and other cultural entertainment. Tickets from regular outlets or online at www.aronasummerfestival. com. Islas Airways have special offers on links from the other Canary Islands, from €23 return.

Maná, playing Las Palmas on September 23rd and Santa Cruz on September 24th dium will be divided into three ticketed zone, Zona General (the grass pitch) and Herradura stand which will cost €31, the San Sebastián and Tribuna stands at €41 and the Zona Luz, right in front of the stage with exclusive entry with tickets at €81. Tickets can be bought from GeneralTickets at CajaCanarias, Ticketmaster, Serviticket with ‘la Caixa’, Corte Inglés, Entradas.com at Caja Siete, the Discos Noda chain and La Camisoteca.

According to LM Producciones director Leopoldo Mansito Maná specifically chose Santa Cruz as the last gig of the tour given that their concert there in 2007 saw the biggest crowd of that World tour. He also assured sports fans that all the necessary measures were being taken to make sure that the stadium would be in prime condition the day after the concert, even though CD Tenerife will be playing away that weekend, but if needed,

“you would be able to stage a first division match with full confidence”, he said. At the conference to announce concert details, the capital’s new mayor, José Manuel Bermúdez expressed his delight that the Group were returning to Santa Cruz, and Julio Pérez, deputy mayor and in charge of the city’s development said the Choice of Santa Cruz “confirmed the attractiveness of the city as a modern destination”.

Katy column

Hi everyone, H

i everyone, I love receiving your phone calls and emails, mostly from readers of the newspaper and listeners to my radio shows in the past, and especially the funny ones. Many of you have asked why I never include some of them in my column, so this week I’ve decided to do just that. Last week I had a delightful lunch with two friends, Wendy and Nigel from Playa San Juan. She’s a great cook and I’m dreading reciprocating with lunch at my house, because as you all know, I’m the worst cook in the world. But the afternoon was brilliant, and we had such a lovely time. Both Nigel and Wendy love a good giggle, and I was telling them about some of the emails you’ve all sent me. I received one some time ago, and sent it on to many of you, but I receive at least three every week asking me if I kept it, and could I send it out again. Well I receive over 600 emails every week, so you can imagine I need to delete them or my mailbox would be permanently full. The most asked for one is the Wedding Invitation, sent to me by Gordon King, and I’ve finally found it and have reproduced it here to give those of you who’ve never seen it, a giggle. It’s the invitation sent out by the groom’s mother for the reception. She’s clearly not pleased with the girl her son has chosen for his bride.

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE WEDDING BETWEEN MY PERFECT SON THE DOCTOR And some

Cheap Two Bit tramp

Whose name escapes me right now.

The biggest disaster in my family’s history Will take place on

July 29th at 11.00am

And will no doubt end in divorce.

The overwhelmingly disappointing heartbreak of a ceremony will be followed by lunch, including many varieties of nuts as what’s her face is allergic to them.

R.S.V.P.

(The wedding photo shows a groom in top hat and tails, and the bride in a strapless dress, hardly covering the biggest pair of boobs ever seen. Says it all doesn’t it?)

From Keith

“My neighbour knocked on my door at 2:30am this morning, can you believe that 2:30am?! Luckily for him I was still up playing my Bagpipes.”

Josie aged ten

“My budgie broke his leg today so I made him a little splint out of a couple of Swan Vesta’s matches.....his little face lit up when he tried to walk.”

Wendy

(who says she wants this on a fridge magnet) “I sometimes wake up grumpy in the morning, but usually I let him sleep late.” So I think I’ll try to keep more of your emails, as a good laugh is worth its weight in gold. Until next issue, take care of yourselves, and especially of each other. katykennedy@telefonica.net Mobile 616110930

Chillin´ out T

al Jones, the owner of the popular Eclipse bar has reasons to be cheerful. Business is good, the weather is more than pleasant and in a few short months he will be a father for the first time – so congratulations to him and Valeria!

The latter is the only piece of ‘new’ news. Since Tal and his brother took over Eclipse, in Callao Salvaje, a few years ago they have worked hard to ensure that both their regular and new clients are more than happy with the service, food and drink this bistro bar/ restaurant provides. From early in the morning, 8am to be precise, to midnight, six days a week, Tal and his team serve, quite literally, breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner, not to mention a great range of drinks – juices and smoothies, beers, wines, cider, cocktails, tea and coffees. Tal’s international team - he is from Northern Ireland, Maxi is Argentinean (and football mad), Sharon (the cocktail and fresh juice specialist) and Christian, speak English, Spanish and French. Their all day menu really is quite extensive. Breakfast can be ordered all day from as little as €3, with all British products if that’s your favourite option, or a Continental style start to the day is also on offer, with

croissants, doughnuts, juices and more. Snacks are also available from morning to night – baguettes, sandwiches, toasties, omelettes, salads, burgers, and other grilled options. All use fresh and local products and there is also a great children’s menu including hot dogs, fish fingers or chicken nuggets. A familyfriendly place, Eclipse offers a Children’s special which includes a drink and ice-cream for just €3.99. Evenings, the favoured choice at the moment, says Tal, is the steak with pepper sauce, chips/rice and salad and a drink for just €9.99. Other options include pork chops, chicken breast, fajitas, mussels and prawns with crusty bread. But as with anything else on the menu, if it’s on the board you can order it whenever you want. The cocktails are excellently made and served and include, of course, the essential Mojito as well as Piña Coladas, Sex on the Beach, and other holiday specials. Eclipse also makes the

stunning Indian banquet is the latest offer from one of your favourite restaurants in the Canaries, Bombay Babu. Home for this very popular Indian Tandoori restaurant is a light and airy premises with a spacious outdoor terrace on the ground floor of the Centro Commercial La Niña in Torviscas, Costa Adeje, and the latest idea is to offer a Sunday special menu, to give you the chance to try out new dishes, not all of which are on the standard menu, which blend and combine perfectly for a true feast for all the senses. The starter on the day we visited was Aloo Tikka. These tasty potato cakes are ideal as a snack, side dish or starter and are made of diced potato and onion, bound with gram flour and fried. We first tried these treats at the home of a Catholic Indian friend, Thelma, in Bombay many years ago. They are popular in private homes in India, but it is rare to see them in restaurants. They were delicious, crunchy on the outside, soft inside and delicately spiced with a gentle green chilli afterkick, served accompanied by tamarind and yoghurt mint sauces. The second course was Magaje Pakora. Tasty morsels of creamy lamb’s brains, deep fried in crispy batter. For the more squeamish amongst you, don’t knock it if you’ve never tried it. You will be delighted with the flavour and the perfect contrasts of texture. Served with crisp, freshly sliced cucumber and a green chilli laced, coriander and yoghurt sauce this dish fills your palate with a savoury tang without being in the least cloying. The next dish on offer, Tandoori Chicken, is a well known standard Indian dish and served in many restaurants, but not all

Indian feast

Discover Bombay Babu of them use prime fresh chicken as they do here and you can tell the difference. Marinated for hours in yoghurt and spices, the segmented chicken pieces were soft and moist with a lingering piquancy and obviously prepared in a Tandoor oven for that authentic flavour.

Chicken Butter Masala, Chicken Tikka Balti and Curry Sauce were the next offerings. The Butter Masala was presented as medium thick strips of fresh chicken, creamy and zingy with ginger, garam masala and chilli. It was without doubt, quite the best Chicken Butter Masala we’ve tried outside a private Indian home, definitely highly recommended.

The Balti came served in the authentic copper pail (balti means bucket in Punjabi) and was easily the favourite of one member of our group. In fact the rest of us were lucky to get a look in. Here, chunks of fresh chicken were served in a rich sauce where, amongst other ingredients, cumin, turmeric, tomato, ginger, garlic and coriander could be detected. The wonderful and knowledgeable maître, presented us with, “just a traditional curry sauce,” a humble accompaniment where the spices and chilli leap out to fill the mouth with flavour. A joy and delight on the palate and

the accompanying egg rice which was presented with these dishes was light, with separate grains and included fried and boiled egg. Plain Naan, soft, fluf fy and easy to pull apart, was used to scoop up the various delicious dishes on offer in authentic Eastern fashion, together with a Butter Chapati made with wholegrain flour which was tasty and substantial, but not too strong a flavour to overwhelm the essence of the dishes it accompanied. There is much more to Indian desserts than Kulfi, as the next offerings thoroughly confirmed - Rasmali and Khir.

Rasmali are ricotta cheese dumplings with a complicated cooking process involving, double cooking and soaking in syrup before finally serving in slightly thickened, sweetened milk. Very refreshing with a delicate flavour and a hint of cardamom. Khir is Indian rice pudding, but far from the dense and occasionally stodgy UK version, it’s light and cooling and served here chilled with a spiral of strawberry coullis. All of the dishes were beautifully presented and decorated to tempt the palate even more, and no artificial colourings or additives are used. They are also served piping hot and

This is far from the run-ofthe-mill Indian restaurant. It is truly different from the rest and they do everything they can to make sure they become your regular eatery. For example they are completely flexible, so if you have a favourite dish that isn’t on the menu they will gladly prepare it for you given a little notice. The members of staff are British-born Indians, which means that communicating your likes and dislikes are easy and the standard of the food, the prices and the amazing range of their services makes them stand out from the rest to no uncertain degree. In addition to the amazing

Sunday special of fer, the rest of the dishes are also ver y low priced, excellent value for money and available as takeaway or local delivery service as well as seated in the comfortable restaurant or on the roomy terrace. The recent restructuring of the kitchen now means that they can also cater for large groups or parties. There’s a popular kids’ menu available and they also offer a wonderful wide range of made to order American Deep Pan Pizzas. A restaurant this good deserves to be as busy as it is, so reservations are advised to avoid disappointment.

News in Brief >>

Facts from DGT

Five years of the points system

The new improved Renault Koleos crossover is due for release later this year

Five years after the introduction of the driving licence points system, more than 20 million drivers still have all their points intact.

,800,000 drivers have recovered their lost points after two years of not committing another motoring offence. 107,152 drivers have lost their licence and of these, 681 have lost their licences twice. Four per cent of drivers have been fined on two or more occasions. Men have accumulated 79 per cent of these fines, and women only 21 per cent.The age group accumulating the most fines is of 25 to 34 years.

New Renault Koleos D

epending on the market, it can be ordered with the 150hp or 175hp version of the M9R diesel engine, or with the 170hp (TR25) petrol engine.

All three deliver dynamic, highquality performance with appreciable savings in emissions achieved for the diesel versions. The 4x2 version powered by the dCi 150 engine emits just 148g/km, while those of the dCi 175 engine have been reduced to 166g/ km. Design changes to the front end reassert this vehicle’s forceful character. The air intakes on either side of the logo on the previous version have

made way for an elegant chrome grille, while the model’s dynamism has been reinforced by new, slimmer headlights. The more modern door mirrors now incorporate LED indicators. The side view expresses the robustness of 4x4 motoring, with high ground clearance, prominent wheel arches and modern, sporty wheels. The original distinctive rear-end styling has been carried over, including the steeply-raked rear window which suggests forward movement and provides a particularly original stance. A new dynamic body colour, Cayenne Orange, will also be available. Inside, a selection of new uphol-

steries and trims have enhanced the vehicle’s elegance and refinement. The dashboard and instrument lighting have evolved too, with

the introduction of a modern, more stylish speedometer housing and display. Segment leading interior space and comfort will mean that all occupants can feel perfectly at ease with segment-topping head- and knee-room in the front, and an excellent balance between elbow- and head-room for rear passengers. The panoramic opening roof makes the cabin even brighter, and use of the audio, navigation and dual-zone climate control systems is intuitive with controls ready to hand. Careful attention has been paid to eliminating mechanical and road noise, so the premium tailor-engineered Bose® sound audio system can be fully appreciated. There is stowage space of up to 70 litres. The split-opening tailgate makes access to the large boot easy, the bottom section of which forms

a robust bench when lowered. The 60/40-split rear bench seat equipped with the Easy-Estate system folds in one movement to create a flat floor and boot space of 1,380dm3 VDA. The New Koleos will be as much in its element on city streets as on twisty country lanes. The Nissan-developed all-wheel drive transmission of the 4x4 ensures genuine off-road ability, while the model’s carefullyhoned volumes, precise steering and stability ensure surefooted agile intown handling. The Koleos has earned a five-star EuroNCAP crash test rating thanks to features such as ESP, emergency brake assist, programmed structural deformation, six airbags and seat belt pretensioners. It is available with a host of high-end features, including hands-free entry and ignition, an electronic parking brake, automatic headlight and windscreen wiper activation and a joystick-operated Carminat TomTom navigation system. The 4x4 versions of New Renault Koleos also incorporate Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control. More information about the New Koleos will be available at www. renault.es, or by visiting Comercial Igara at Ácoran or Guaza.

0.2 million drivers have been awarded the two point bonus for not having committed a driving offence during the first three years of the system.

Formula 1

Williams Renault partnership to continue

Renault Sport F1 andWilliams F1 are delighted to announce a long-term chassis-engine partnership.

enault Sport F1, the F1 division of Renault, will supply AT&T Williams with its championship-winning V8 power units for the 2012 and 2013 seasons.

he partnership is an exciting opportunity for both parties. The original Anglo-French alliance enjoyed a hugely successful association between 1989 and 1997, yielding four Drivers’ and five Constructors’ titles and 63 race wins. It also produced some of the most evocative images of the 1990s, including Nigel Mansell’s British Grand Prix win in 1992; Alain Prost’s fourth world title and the classic duels between Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve and Michael Schumacher.

Socas Canarias

Rost return for Socas

ome of the top names in the world of sport in S the Canaries will be absent from the fixture lists for the coming season due to insurmountable financial difficulties.

Basketball player Levi Rost cannot get enough of Tenerife it seems.

The American guard has signed for a third time for LEB Oro side from La Laguna, Socas Canarias, after spending last year at Girona on the Costa Brava. Ironically it was a lastsecond basket by Rost that knocked Socas Canarias out of the promotion play-offs in the decider of the fivegame series. His â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; joked at the time that they would have to sign him to make sure he did not

repeat the action again this season and the prediction has come true. Rost said he was delighted to be coming back to La Laguna, which he calls his second home, and his signing has thrilled coach Alejandro MartĂnez, who called the Michigan player one of the best in the league in recent years. Rostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous stints in La Laguna were 2006-2008 and 20092010.

Fun Golf winners

Former Spanish and European ladies volleyball champions CV Tenerife, known as Marichal Volleball in their glory days a few years back, are unable to field a side in the Premiership for the first time in nearly three decades due to the lack of revenue, which prevented them from posting the required bond with the league by the end of June. The club hopes its junior sides, which accommodate 400 girls, will continue but fears that the lack of a top-level team will lead many players to leave. Still in Tenerife, Puerto de la Cruz waterpolo side CN

Clubs to fold C r isis

Winners - 1st, Ron Barnes/Peter Amery, 2nd, Javier Sabaris/Charlie Sinclair, 3rd, Mick Jones/Julia Fleming. Nearest pin, Ladies, Julia Fleming, men, Frank Moss. Booby prize, Sam Stitt/Dennis Booth. The next Fun Golf competition day is on 14th August and anyone wishing to play should contact Clive on 922797640.

Fans of Marichal will be without a club to cheer on next season

MartiĂĄnez has announced it will not be competing in the Spanish SuperLeague this year after failing to raise the â&#x201A;Ź200,000 needed for the season. Meanwhile over in Las Palmas Division 2B football

side Universidad was duly relegated a division by the FA for not settling its playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wages for last season and risks folding altogether unless a sponsor steps in at the last minute.

nine goals in 36 matches. During his spell with the club, he would experience one relegation, and another promotion. He finished his playing career in Spain with UE Llieda, playing four second division seasons as an undisputed starter, and going on to amass totals of 417 games and 49 goals in the two major divisions of Spanish football. Aged 33, CalderĂłn moved to

Scotland. This was due to Steve Archibald, Airdrie President at the time, who signed nine Spanish players during the summer of 2000. Archibald promised the Spanish players good contracts and a chance to enter into British football as an incentive. The local supporters took well to their new team and a banner at Airdrie made by supporters read â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Garcia Sanjuan is Jesus,Calderon is Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. I hope Tenerife fans have a similar one come next May! After a short spell at Kilmarnock FC, Calderon moved to Raith Rovers in 2002. This is where

he started his managerial career acting as player-manager and he achieved a historic promotion to the Scottish Premier League. Returning to Spain CalderĂłn continued his coaching, first briefly managing first professional club CĂĄdiz, but was unable to prevent a second division relegation. He then signed with small club SD Huesca, who finished a very respectable 11th in their first season in the second division. His style of football is based on a solid defence and strong set pieces, something lacking at CD Tenerife for some time now. His last foray into management was not so successful as he was relegated with Albacete last season. But supporters of the blanquiazules will have to get used to the fact that we are in the second division B now and cannot attract the top managers or players. In the next edition we will report on all the new signings and the hopes for Tenerife for the new season.

Tenerife’s cook gets fast-track title shot

Nicky Cook vs. Ricky Burns

the title twice then in 2003 he won the Commonwealth Featherweight belt by beating the Zimbabwean Meshack Kondwani. Defending the title again he took on Cyril Thomas for the European title and won by way of a knockout. In June 2005 Cook challenged British champion Dazzo Williams for his title belt and when he stopped him in the second round it meant that Nicky then

ver the past few weeks few will have spotted a lonely figure chugging along the roads which lead to Mount Teide and the sweat burning through his eyes, blinding him briefly before trickling down towards his gasping lips, and as boxer Nicky Cook eventually feels that the incline under his feet is

slowly approaching vertical proportions at the base of the mountain he turns to head downwards, the run giving way to a merciful gradual descent. Down below he sees the ocean and the towering hotels of Las Américas and Los Cristianos, the area where shortly one of his dreams will be fulfilled, for Nicky and his

lovely partner Sharon, who is very experienced in the nightclub business, are shortly opening a boxing theme bar to be called Ringside in the south of Tenerife. However Nicky has some unfinished business to see to, and another dream to fulfill before that. On Saturday July 16th he’s hoping to regain the world WBO super featherweight title which he

lost to the Puerto Rican Roman Martinez over two years ago. Nicky Cook, from Stepney, London, has been a professional boxer for almost 13 years and after being unbeaten in his first 15 fights he won the WBF Intercontinental Super Featherweight title in 2001, when he beat Argentinean Marcelo Gabriel Ackermann. He defended

PWA World Cup, El Médano, July 14th – 20th

Making international waves R

egular windsurfers in El Médano will know exactly why the zone has been chosen by the Professional Windsurfers Association – PWA – for one of the stages of the 2011 World Cup – the only surprise would be that it has taken 15 years to return. 1996 saw international windsufers plow these waters in competitive mode for the last time, but this month, from July 14th to 20th, the world’s top windsurfers will be in the waters off the El Cabezo beach taking part in the PWA World Cup PlanetWin365 El Médano Tenerife 2011. 48 men and 16 women will compete from all over the world, and there are three reserved places too for local riders, who were chosen during preliminary competitions on July 11th, 12th and 13th.

held the British, European and Commonwealth titles all at the same time. Nicky eventually got a crack at ‘real’ world title belt in 2008 but was stopped in the 11th round by American Steve Luevano at the O2 Arena in London when they fought for the WBO belt. However a year later Nicky got another chance at a WBO title when he challenged Alex Arthur for the Super Featherweight belt. Arthur was favourite to retain his title but Nicky outsmarted the champion and produced an exhibition of classic boxing technique producing every punch in the book to win the title belt on a points decision. Unfortunately ‘Cookie’ as he is nicknamed, lost his title in March 2009 when the hardpunching Roman Martinez

stopped him in the fourth round. In September last year the Scot Ricky Burns showed great toughness and newfound aggression to take the title from Martinez on points. In the meantime Nicky Cook had moved over here to sunny Tenerife and for the past two years has run personal training camps during his layoff which has kept him fit. But being fit and being ‘fighting fit’ are two different things and as Nicky has had only one six round fight in the past two years it would be a tremendous feat if he could regain his WBO title belt when he faces the champion Ricky Burns at Liverpool’s Echo Arena on Saturday July 16th. Nicky has many friends and fans on the island who will all be rooting for him along with his sponsors in Tenerife, the renowned Linekers Bar, Tibu nightclub and Telefónica. Now hailed as one of Tenerife’s own, Nicky knows that he’s ‘lucky’ to get this world title shot, but he doesn’t believe his luck has run out just yet. I believe that Nicky Cook has a mountain to climb to win on Saturday but if the brilliant boxing technician of two years ago steps into the ring to tackle the champion we could all be in for a surprise.

Islands in general and added that the regional government were delighted to support the championships and felt it fitted in perfectly to one of the regional promotions – that of the Canary islands as a perfect spot for water sports.

It’s great for the sport and certainly good news for tourism as all those in attendance at the press conference to announce details of the event repeated. Jaime Cejas, who has returned to the Granadilla mayorship after four years was delighted to be able to announce the event, saying this “was more than just a sporting event

and more than just a tourism promotion, but something fundamental to the region” and an excellent addition to the hotel and leisure offer in El Médano. According to the regional deputy minister for tourism, Ricardo Fernández, the event is important not just for El Médano and Granadilla but for Tenerife and the Canary

Event organiser José Manuel welcomed that support and the support of a host of private and public bodies who had helped bring the initiative to fruition. Also present were local surfers Daniel Bruch and Álex Mussolini, who are currently ranked fifth and seventh best in the world in the sport. José Manuel also presented the trophy designed for the event by Juan Hernández. He told Island Connections that they were expecting up to 1,000 spectators on each day of the event (free to all to view) and said the beach would have full toilet and refreshment facilities on hand.
