Lanzarote law

By Karl McLaughlin

T

he release of six British soldiers who went on the rampage in a restaurant on Lanzarote while on the island for military exercises last February has generated a mixed reaction.

The soldiers were allowed to return to the UK without having to spend any more time in jail after a last-minute deal was reached minutes before they were due to stand trial in Arrecife for the headline-hitting fracas.

All six pleaded guilty to assaulting staff and customers and causing criminal damage during the drunken rampage at the Argentine-owned Vaca Loca restaurant in Costa Teguise in February. Two also admitted resisting arrest and attacking police officers who were called

to deal with the fracas, which witnesses said began when staff challenged a soldier who tried to make off with a bottle of wine as a colleague asked directions to a lap dancing club.

The judge at Lanzarote’s Criminal Court imposed suspended sentences of 11 months on four of the soldiers and 18 months on the two who admitted the additional charge of assaulting the police officers.

The soldiers, who had been on remand in Lanzarote prison since the incident, will only ser ve time if they re-offend in Spain within three years.

They were ordered to pay a total of €30,000 compensation to their victims and the owner of the restaurant, in addition to individual fines of €1,500 to the court.

One of the diners at the restaurant, Valeria Salewski,

whose husband Thomas suffered multiple facial injuries during the unprovoked attack, said she was happy with the outcome, even if it was a negotiated solution. “Justice has been done and they did not get off without punishment, which is what we feared at the time since they were British soldiers and pressure might have been exerted. I was very sceptical but they have paid for what they did to us and to the restaurant” she said. However, local newspapers were flooded with readers’ comments criticising the sentence for being too lenient. One reader of the Voz de Lanzarote complained that “these thugs almost killed people for no reason and they have escaped prison: they have made a mockery of the justice system”.

All six soldiers are likely to face disciplinary action back home. An MOD source said that “the Army takes a very serious view of such conduct and the soldiers’ Unit will undertake a thorough review of their cases”.

In Britain a custodial sentence usually leads to automatic discharge for a soldier. However, given that the offences were committed in Spain and have now been dealt with by a Spanish court, it remains unclear if the rule will apply.

A great escape?

Hitler stopover A controversial new book by Argentine journalist and historian Abel Basti, one of the foremost experts on Nazi fugitives, suggests that Adolf Hitler used the Canaries in a remarkable escape plan that duped the world.

Hitler’s Exile has been making the headlines since it appeared recently in Spanish bookshops a couple of months after its release in Argentina. In the book, Basti argues that the Nazi leader did not commit suicide in the Berlin bunker as the official story goes but managed to escape to Patagonia after boarding a German submarine in Vigo in north-west Spain. The biggest revelation of the book is a German secret document in which Hitler appears as one of the passengers evacuated by plane from Austria to Barcelona on April 26 1945.

According to Basti, the British secret services were aware of a Nazi submarine convoy that left Spain and, after a stopover in the Canary Islands, continued its journey to southern Argentina, where Hitler was allegedly given a new life and identity.

The story is not the first to surface in recent weeks about collusion between Franco’s Spain and the Nazi regime. According to the La Provincia daily, the Spanish dictator ordered a large network of military tunnels to be built in Gran Canaria to store torpedoes and other supplies for submarines in anticipation of Spain entering World War II on Germany’s side.

A safe summer means a happy holiday

M

ost of us will be looking forward to a welldeserved break this summer. However you spend your (hopefully!) sunny months, I’ve got some top tips to staying safe and enjoying yourself.

Back to blighty

I’m sure some of you will be returning to the UK with your fingers tightly crossed that their good weather lasts. Though I hope your trip is trouble-free, it’s worth making sure you’ve got the right health cover for your holiday. As a UK pensioner, you can apply to the UK for your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), and if you claim a Spanish pension or work here, you can apply for your EHIC (or Tarjeta Sanitaria Europea – TSE - in Spanish) from Spain. If you aren’t entitled to an EHIC then you still shouldn’t be refused treatment; you can get NHS care if you have lived in the UK for a 10 year period at any time in your life.

Travelling abroad

Within the EU, you can follow the same rules for EHICs as above, but remember the EHIC doesn’t cover all treatment. To ensure a more complete cover, or if you are going outside the EU, I’d strongly advise taking out travel insurance and checking carefully the conditions and exclusions of your policy. If you shop around you should find a good price and the right product rather than opting

to travel without cover. Is the back of your passport blank?

It will take two minutes to fill it in with details of your next of kin, but it could save lots of time in the future. Also, have a look at the FCO pages, www.fco.gov.uk/en/traveland-living-abroad/traveladvice-by-countr y, to find out about local laws and customs – you don’t want to get caught out!

Hosting guests

No doubt there’ll be friends and family who don’t want to take the risk with British weather and decide on a Spanish holiday. If so, suggest they get their travel insurance and EHIC sorted before they hop on the plane.

Once they’re here, remind them to take good care of their passport especially as they may need to have it to hand for identification purposes. They may also like to know that alcohol measures might be bigger than they’re used to back in the UK so to take it easy!

Watching the footie

If you’re happy where you are and engrossed in the football, remember there might be other fans around.

Like the rest of us, the Spanish take their football very seriously and they’re hugely proud of their national team.

You’ll find that if you show respect to Spanish supporters you’ll get respect in return.

Don’t forget that drinking on the streets is illegal in some parts of Spain and you could be heavily fined for doing so; stick to the bars and the terraces to be sure.

Attending festivals

Spain has got some great music playing this summer, including at festivals in Benicassim and Barcelona.

Your passport and valuables should only be out of sight if they’re locked away so make use of the lockers at the festival site. You might Continued on page 3

want to keep a photocopy of your passport with you. Be vigilant once the festival’s over or if you decide to hit the beach – you don’t want a lost passport or stolen phone to put a dampener on your fun festival experience.

I really hope you have a great summer break. For more detailed travel advice

you can see the FCO website www.fco.gov.uk/travel. Remember if you or your guests do lose a passport or are the victim of crime in Spain then you can contact my team at the British Consulate.

Happy holidays!

Isabel Hernández

What is a King?

A La Palma schoolgirl came face to face with Spain’s King Juan Carlos recently after winning a regional competition involving almost 1000 youngsters.

Isabel Hernández, aged 11, beat entrants from 62 schools across the Canaries who took part in this year’s What is a King? essay competition. The essays and drawings of 40 Canarian finalists were displayed in the Canarian government’s main building in Tenerife prior to the regional award ceremony a few weeks ago. Isabel then travelled to Madrid at the end of June with 20 other regional winners to meet the monarch and personally hand him her essay.

Child pornography

Sentence criticised

The decision to impose a two-year jail term on a Fuerteventura man who admitted storing explicit pictures of young children on his computer has not gone down well with child welfare groups.

The 44-year-old could have faced up to seven years in prison after a police raid on his home led to the discovery of the images, many of which he distributed via P2P networks. His trial in Las Palmas Criminal Court concluded controversially when the presiding judge imposed the light sentence on the grounds that the defendant was a first offender and had admitted the offences.

Critics say the likelihood that he will not have to serve time (terms of two years or less are almost always suspended) sends out the wrong signal to others who keep and distribute child pornography on Internet.

A

Working conditions

s we go to press there are still strike calls over the recently approved labour reform act in Spain whilst nobody seems to be exactly sure what will change or for whom.

Unclear, unambitious, ambiguous and cowardly are some of the milder epithets levelled by labour law specialists, the unions think it should be scrapped and business chiefs don’t believe it has gone far enough. However if the new law fails to suit anybody or even everybody, the unions and businesses only have themselves to blame after failing to reach an accord after almost three years of discussions before the government decided to step in.

New indefinite contract holders will only have 33 days per year worked recompense (maximum two years salary) if they are made redundant which has the unions up in arms as they believe that the marketplace will gradually replace the current 45 day compensation (maximum three and a half years salary) as existing contract holders retire.

In addition there is a considerable group of people with existing contracts and new contracts for males between 31

Labour reform credit:darktaco

and 44 years of age who will now be entitled to considerably less compensation (not defined).

A vaguely worded ruling that the 45 (or 33) days could be reduced to 20 if a company is in financial difficulty has no support from either side and the Spanish President, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, has confirmed that the whole law needs to be made more concrete, a process that would be expected to take place during its passage through the second House. However the Minister

Education minister failings

Could do better The Canarian education minister has admitted that the recent nationwide diagnosis of school standards, which shows the region at the bottom of the league table, is a true picture and requires urgent action.

Milagros Brito made no attempt to cover up the findings of the comprehensive survey of basic skills among 10-year-olds across the country. “The results are very disappointing but can serve to show us where investment needs to be targeted, especially in teacher training” she admitted.

Particularly damaging for the government is the news that Canarian children are the worst performers in Spain in basic maths tasks. Brito described the results as a wake-up call although she insisted she “did not believe that teachers here were any worse than elsewhere”.

for Employment, Celestino Corbacho has affirmed that companies who want to cut their workforce and pay only 20 days compensation won’t find it that easy.

more expensive rather than less as they will be paying the lion’s part of the redundancy payment for their own lost workers, plus contributing to the general funds for all the rest.

A new government fund is to be set up, sort of a giant piggy bank, which will pay the first eight days of the compensation from funds to be supplied jointly by the government and the employers. CEOE president, Gerardo Díaz Ferrán affirms that this measure will in fact make the cost of redundancy

Union representatives claim that the reform will poison labour relations and increase conflict in the workplace as well as endangering the collective bargaining system and insisted that the new law was simply aimed at making it cheaper to fire people, “however you want to describe it”.

Electricity

Their daily rounds on the land to irrigate, collect eggs and keep eveything in order have been carried out together since Domingo realised that Juanito would stay with him.

“He’s useful when we’re digging up potatoes. He quickly got the idea. We all fell about laughing the first time he joined in. We were harvesting potatoes and thought we’d got them all, but we’d missed some. He soon rooted them out for us. He gets on well with the hens, cats and dogs around here. He’s a very docile piglet.

loves being petted. If he loses sight of me, he makes a big fuss, squealing and grunting until he finds me”.

The few tourists in Valle Gran Rey at the moment have, according to Domingo, “... gone crazy over him. A couple of Germans saw us going down the road the other day and asked if they could come with us to take photos. I didn’t mind. They took loads of photos.

They must have told other people, because now there’s a steady stream of tourists with cameras and they all know he likes sweets. I’ve had to ask them to stop. I don’t know how long we’ll be able to do this. He’s getting bigger all the time, but I do know I could never kill and eat him, he’s too much of a friend”.

Mourning for Nobel writer

Lanzarote loses Saramago

Lanzarote’s second most famous son, the recently-deceased José Saramago, was madly in love with his adopted island, according to his widow and translator, Pilar del Río.

The passing away of the 1998 Nobel laureate, who is rivalled only by local artist and sculptor César Manrique in terms of the fame he brought to Jose Saramago, 1922 – 2010 Lanzarote, has triggered a flood of tributes at local, national and international level.

The day after he died peacefully aged 88 at his home in Tías, the government of his native Portugal sent a military plane to collect his body for an official funeral in Lisbon, even though Saramago rarely set foot in the country he abandoned in the 1992 due to a dispute with the right-wing government, which blocked his candidacy for a top European literary prize.

The Portuguese government objected to what it considered blasphemous content of the novelist’s controversial work, The Gospel According to Jesus Christ.

Following his cremation, some of Saramago’s ashes were scattered in his birthplace of Azinhaga (Portugal) while the others were flown back to his home in Tías. According to Spanish daily El Mundo, he had expressly instructed that part of his remains be buried under the olive tree of their garden.

It is likely the Lanzarote authorities, who ordered three days of mourning to mark Saramago’s death, will establish a permanent tribute to the author in the form of a statue or monument.

Farewell Tour Simply Red in concert

S

imply Red fans are looking forward to the forthcoming concert at Golf Costa Adeje on July 20th. The British soul band who also ventured into R&B, rock, reggae and jazz have sold over 50 million albums over their 25 year career.

They are now due to split following the Farewell Tour and according to the face and voice of Simply Red, Mick Hucknall, “I’ve kind of decided that the 25 years is going to be enough, so I intend that this will be the last Simply Red tour.” Simply Red accumulated a string of top 20 hit singles, including Holding back the Years, The Right Thing, Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye, It’s Only Love, If You Don’t Know Me By Now, A New Flame, Something Got Me Started, Stars, For Your Babies, Your Mirror, Fairground (a number one), Never Never Love, We’re In This Together, Angel, Say You Love Me, The Air That I Breathe, and of course the song so aptly named in today’s crisis and their first Top 20 hit, Money’s Too Tight to Mention.

Island Connections delved a little deeper into the background of this event. At a recent press conference, Jordi Esplugas of Canarias Live Sun Festival commented, “this concert comes at a time of crisis when it is more important than ever to give a push to our economy”. He spoke generally of Tenerife, saying “we have to reinvent tourism, the destination and create new attractions. This is what (Sun Live) are doing.

We believe in the future of

the Canaries but we must innovate and make changes”.

(Sun Live) are grateful for the support they have received from the business sector and especially to all sponsors and collaborators, as there has been no institutional backing for this event. He continued, “We are much more visible on the internet, with big international artists associated with the island. Just look at Rock in Rio and what that has done for a small village just outside Madrid”. Alberto Delgado Prieto, Canarian government minister for culture and sports, congratulated Sun Live and said, “we are going down the right road for the future of the Canaries”. José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, mayor of Adeje commented, “this is not a public initiative, but created by a group of businessmen.

We (the council) are going to support this event and hope it all goes well”. Esplugas concluded, “This project has required an investment of nearly €2 million “, and he hinted that, “the rhythm of our concerts could well increase in the future”.

Island Connections also caught up with the main collaborators and sponsors for their comments.

Ezequiel Pérez Gonzalez Manager for Tenerife, Heineken Canarias: We have no specific budget allocated to sponsorships but this year is difficult and the best way to help our customers is with sponsorships like this. We usually sponsor 10 to 12 events in the Canaries each year. We pay much attention

to international artists. The main reasons for our sponsorship are that we can bring our product to the customers who will associate our image with how much they enjoyed the concert. It promotes our image abroad as being associated with international music.

An event such as this will bring more visitors to the island, and therefore more business for everyone. It will help the South to do well. We are all together in this and now Golf Costa Adeje is known as a place where international artists perform every year.

Gavin J Brooking Managing Director of Excel Hotels & Resorts: Tenerife today offers many new and exciting opportunities on which to capitalise and raise the profile of the island.

Events like the recent concerts featuring international artists, were simply not thought possible 10 years ago. In the past many businesses exploited the tourist market without giving anything back to the island

and its people. It is, however, encouraging that many local businesspeople today take great pride in their island and are active in collaborating with each other, often in the face of a reluctance on the part of the authorities, to create new initiatives which will aid Tenerife in its drive to become more successful. One of these initiatives is the upcoming Simply Red concert which will help highlight Tenerife’s many unique selling points and will create the kind of international exposure that this incredible holiday destination deserves. The more household names that visit the island, the more publicity it will attract. We must continue this positive strategy to ensure that the south does not stagnate and continues to nurture a reputation as one of Europe’s best holiday choices.

when Elton John came to Tenerife, and that went well – it was positive for the island, for us and for everyone. Elton John’s team stayed here, but he left the island directly after his concert. We suppose that Simply Red will be staying here, but that is up to the artist. It is very positive to be associated with any cultural event and from the marketing point of view, (Sun Live) are doing a great job and we wish them luck. With international artists visiting the island there are repercussions on the internet and in other media which are really positive. This is another attraction which makes it worth coming here and I would like to see six or seven events like this planned ahead throughout the year. This would encourage people not only to come here but also to book their holidays in advance, as used to be the case.

Higinio Guerra Co-owner El Faro Chill Art:

This is the best year ever for an event like this. If this year is bad and this concert goes well, then much more will be possible in the future.

ity product and are supporting this event, as there is no other place with so many repeat visitors as Tenerife. It doesn’t suffer any catastrophes, it is in the middle of the Atlantic but part of Europe too, and security is good, so people feel at home here. We have sponsored all three concerts, this gives me publicity and prestige, and could double the number of new clients for us this time.

The first concert was a little disorganised, the second one better, so just imagine how this one will be! For the first time the concert, set in a unique location – green, with lots of air, is in the summer, bringing more people here at a time which is traditionally not good for tourism on the island. Maybe this will generate more repeat visitors as well.

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 620 :: 02/07/2010 - 16/07/2010

It is Sun Live Festival’s idea to bring well known artists here who would attract more tourism, to do something different to increase tourism and income in the area. This will be the only Simply Red concert in Spain. We are lucky to get international artists to come to Tenerife. It is difficult to make contact with them, and they won’t come here for silly money. We were really lucky with Elton John, he was offered double to go to Las Palmas.

Paul Serck Director, Golf Costa Adeje: We don’t directly sponsor the concert, but we give the site at the golf course for the event.

It’s a beautiful, quality site.

We have nothing to do with the organisation of the event, except we do clean the site afterwards ourselves. Machines go around straight after the concert gathering the rubbish.

The grass is a very strong variety which isn’t damaged by it.

Three events a year would be good for the island, and a winter event would be great for the residents. Regarding the recession, with golf we have passed the dip and now we are going up again. It will stay good as long as the pound doesn’t go down.

José Fernando Cabrera President ASHOTEL: ASHOTEL, which is the association of hotel owners in Tenerife, has collaborated with the organisation of this concert which is very interesting for the island. Because of events such as this, our destination is becoming more important for Europeans. I think we should have more concerts and sports events such as tennis matches, and that more events should be planned per year. We have been helping with this concert by getting the hotels involved and haven’t had much time, but we have designed all-in package holidays which include flights, hotel accommo-

dation, excursions, transfers, and tickets for the concert. I think we have to rescue Son Latinos, not to take place on the beach but in some other location. It could be done.

We’ve got enough hotel beds available, so the island could handle something of the magnitude of the recent Rock in Rio which took place just outside Madrid and where individual concerts were attracting up to 80,000 people.

marketing campaigns don’t bring results but this is complementary and takes Tenerife to the highest levels in tourism, culture and much more.

It’s great that the business sector is involved, it is an example of their dedication to the promotion of the island.

Alejandro Calvo Commercial director, Mare Nostrum resort:

We’ve done as much as we can to help with this concert.

We also helped with the Elton John and Rod Stewart concerts, which went well. The expensive part is the mounting of the infrastructure, and the stage, and the dismantling afterwards. The first two concerts featured in prime time news on Spanish television, so they were great for everyone involved. Of course the organisers need more help from, for example, the Cabildo, but the politicans prefer to have concerts in the north, and this one is in the south. In the future, I’d like to see a ‘music week’, typically after the Easter holidays when the tourist numbers are usually low, like a mini-Glastonbury.

Then people would avoid Easter and come here afterwards, like they do in Austria where they have concerts at a ski resort in low season. The precinct at Golf Costa Adeje can hold 30 to 35,000 people – just think of the media repercussions with superstars coming here!

We haven’t sponsored other concerts, this is a oneoff agreement with Sun Live Festival because it fits our own profile. The benefits are more publicity and hopefully more tourists in July. We sponsored this one because it is Simply Red’s only concert in Spain and we think that is important. More top level concerts would be good for the island, but it is difficult to bring these artists here without institutional backing. Regarding Tenerife, nowadays we have to fight for our share of the business with other destinations. We are too expensive.

Appropriate flights would help too, we’re marketing quality and we’re getting low cost flights which that type of client wouldn’t entertain.

Daniel Adrián Co-0wner of Adrián Hoteles: At Adrián Hoteles we support events which we consider to be beneficial to Tenerife.

They give us an opportunity to reach the public and to attract a younger and more dynamic clientele. Simply Red have chosen Tenerife for their one concert in Spain, this gives us international prestige. We are also an official point of sale for tickets through our website, www.adrianhoteles.com.

We know that this is being done without institutional finance, so we want to support

Robert Konrad Chief executive Kurt Konrad CIA, SA and Golf Costa Adeje:

Sun Live Festival. The main benefit is that we can enjoy seeing well known international artists. We hope that, little by little, Tenerife can become a destination famous for offering not only sun and the beach, but also music and art.

Our clients would like more concerts and some theatre in the south. They want to sunbathe, but they want entertainment too, especially our winter visitors with more money to spend. Culture is necessary, not only for visitors but for our residents too. I hope we can all make Tenerife an island of leisure and entertainment.

Karina Zaplana Commercial Director, Gran Meliá Palacio de Isora Resort: Our company doesn’t habitually sponsor events, but if an interesting opportunity presents itself, then it is always a pleasure to help. We think that it is always good to support concerts of an international level and cultural events because they give more publicity to the island. They put the island on the map in the press, on the internet etc., and people can see Tenerife from another point of view and not just as a sun and beach destination.

We think that the island needs more cultural events, which could be pop, rock or classical music concerts or opera and theatre. This would give

the tourist an opportunity to enjoy more than just the sun, the beach and the hotels. The Simply Red concert complements the marketing of the island, every little helps, and the more good publicity we have, the better.

César Picca Pérez Bobet Canarias: We are in the business of billboards and high technology publicity. For us this concert is an interesting project which has got to give results.

Events of this level have got to help the whole area, in fact the whole island. The Adeje council also knows that there are benefits in backing such projects. These businessmen have joined forces to make up for the lack of institutional backing. With them the economics of the project takes second place, the big thing is to make it work. None of them are egotistical and I am happy to help them.

David Santana Fraga Riskmedia International and Grupo Audio Studio Audioformación: Riskmedia: As insurance brokers specialising in audiovisual events and shows, we do sponsor these shows annually.

From the beginning of this Sun Live Festival project we knew we had to help them as much as possible so that they could take advantage of our servic-

es. I hope that everyone will see, after this third concert, that it generates a brand and the hope of new business, especially in tourism which needs new formulas to attract visitors and put the name of Tenerife where it deserves to be. We are now known all over the world at all levels. This is a great way to receive new visitors. It has to complement the actual marketing for the island now and in the future, but for this we need the support and confidence of everyone, especially Tinerfeños.

Audioformación: This is our first year as a partner of Sun Live Festival and we had no doubts about sponsoring this event. This helps to improve Tenerife’s position in the market and we hope to add our grain of sand to promote the Canaries in the world. This will generate good results for tourism and more business for many Canarian establishments. The name of the island is out there worldwide in a way that we never before imagined. Anyone who searches for the names of these artists on the internet will see Tenerife. With this we will gain not only the people who come here for the concert, but they will also fill the hotels, eat in our restaurants and buy in our shops for several days. I think there are many who do not see what the end result will be and how it will affect them. Sometimes traditional

It seems that all the sponsors and collaborators share the same view, that the island needs events such as this, and that we must all have a big re-think and invent new ways to attract visitors. Even though money’s too tight to mention in today’s economic climate, what is certain is that Simply Red fans will be there, to share their last chance to see the band, here in Tenerife.

See you there!

here is still time to sign up for the Santiago del Teide swimming competition. The yearly event will take place at 6pm on July 10th and registration will be open until the sixth. The course begins at Playa Arena beach and ends at Puerto de Santiago harbour.

It is a hard swim of approximately 950 metres, but that doesn’t deter the hundreds of participants that have taken part for the last 13 years. There are male and female categories, which are also broken down into ages. Women leave first, closely followed by the men, and the multitude of contestants entering the sea is a sight to behold.

According to Emilio Navarro, the area’s Sport’s councillor, “the event has been moved from its traditional spot on Sundays to the Saturday, to accommodate the many participants who travel from other islands to take part.”

The entry fee is five euros and interested parties can register by internet at www.loscabosos.com or www.santiagodelteide.es or by calling 922 860108 between 08.00 and 15.00.

Holiday security

A

short conference was held recently at the Tenerife Chamber of Commerce for Consulates, tour operators and member’s of the press to outline proposals for a new holiday security plan.

The scheme has already been in operation in Madrid since 2001: It’s a complete service for holidaymakers who have been unfortunate enough to be the victims of a crime and the idea is to extend it to all areas where there are high levels of tourism, including the Canaries.

With the backing and support of tourism professionals and Consulates, the integral service will be based in the National Police stations. As well as reporting the crime, the victims will be assisted in sorting out the consequences such as obtaining replacement travel documents and passports, cancelling mobile phones and credit cards and contacting Embassies or friends and family to arrange cash transfers if necessary. Importantly, the service will be offered in all languages. On-site staff will speak the major European languages, but via contacts with Embassies and Consulates, translators will be available for everybody.

The majority of crimes reported in Madrid last year, 69.95 per cent, were opportunistic thefts, where a tourist had taken their eyes off their possessions at the wrong moment. The idea of the new scheme is not to turn a drama into a crisis and smooth the path of the victims, although with a little more care and thought we could all help to cut crime. All concerned are working hard to set up the service in the Canaries as soon as possible.

T

he Callao Salvaje dance school, Vamos A Bailar/Let’s Dance has recently hosted a show case evening in the Square in the village, with over 500 people turning up to see how well the school’s students are doing.

Over 30 students from the school took part in the event, with dancers from two to 20 years of age taking to the outdoor stage to much applause.

They were accompanied by students from the Adeje school of music. Both schools are delighted to have been recognised for their efforts by the Adeje council and the event was part of the Art on the Street programme.

The dance school is also planning a series of summer events with council backing.

The school’s principal Amanda Lambert told Island Connections that they are delighted at the development, which will see the school using the town’s sporting pavilion in August to host a summer workshop for cheerleaders to be led by members of the British Cheerleading Association. The troupe are also going to be “given a team to cheer for, which is very exciting for everyone”, said Amanda.

For young twinkle-toes there are a number of summer schools being organised by the school.

For three to five year olds

Vamos a Bailar

there will be morning classes, from 10am to 1pm, Mondays and Wednesdays, with dance, music, interpretation, as well as workshops on nutrition and lifestyle and these students can also work on dance routines that will be incorporated into a show at the end of September. Junior cheerleading classes for five to nine year olds are also scheduled for Tuesday morning, with classes moving to an evening slot once school resumes after the summer break.

Amanda also explained that

Tenerife US mentions continue

T

enerife’s run of mentions in top US TV series continued recently with an ‘appearance’ in the hit show Breaking Bad.

The prime time series about middle-aged chemistry teacher Walter White (played by Bryan

Something’s cooking

Cranston) and his mid-life crisis referred to the island in a recent programme in which pupils at White’s High School were shown how to come to terms with a local air crash apparently caused by a distracted air traffic controller. The first episode in the third series, which is shown in Spain on the Paramount Comedy channel, featured extensive references to the 1977 air crash in Tenerife’s Los Rodeos airport, which White used as an example of how “people learn to move on” after tragic events. Nearly 600 people died when two Boeing 747s collided on the runway.

Recent mentions of Tenerife on US shows include Lost, in which character Richard is depicted as hailing originally from Tegueste.

they are developing a working friendship with the Adeje school of music as well as the council.

Given the fact that her school is the only one here to offer the IDTA (the International Dance Teachers Association) card, which pupils, once registered, can use world-wide with their courses and exams recognised on an international level, the

council cultural department are more than interested in working with Amanda to offer similar courses around the borough.

The Parque Marítimo, which regularly attracted thousands of users every day at peak periods, had been shut due to a legal wrangle with the previous operator.

Special discounts on admission prices and sunbeds are being offered to entice visitors back after the year-long closure. The city council, which pulled out all the stops to give the complex a facelift in time for the school holidays which began at the end of June, says it is confident it will prove as popular as in previous years as an alternative to the Las Teresitas beach.

14 local men signed up for the course, which offered sessions on the basics of cooking using easyto-find ingredients. The participants made around 60 recipes during the fiveweek course, which ended with a diploma ceremony attended by dozens of friends and relatives, who were treated to a sampling of dishes prepared by the students. Local mayor Víctor Chinea and the Equal Oppor tunities councillor Juana Donate Marrero handed out the diplomas and promised to organise similar initiatives again in future.

Water report

Fluoride levels corrected

Adeje mayor José Miguel Rodriguez Fraga held a press conference recently alongside a representative from the water company Entemanser to announce the levels of fluoride throughout the borough were now at acceptable levels.

The mayor referred to a report in 2006 which indicated that levels of the chemical were unacceptablyhigh,making water potentially unsafe – “high fluoride levels can cause potentially dangerous side effects”, he said. However today, with extensive treatment work and a huge investment into upgrading the water infrastructure throughout Adeje, he said he could report that throughout Adeje,“the water is now in perfect condition”. He also announced that a new desalination station was in construction,“it should be ready in November or December of this year”, which would guarantee an extra 10,000 cubic metres of water to the zone.

The killing of a 78-year-old woman in La Guancha in Tenerife by her former sonin-law has highlighted the authorities’ failure to tackle gender violence seriously, says a local women’s help group.

The group says that restraining orders are not enforced properly by courts and technical deterrents such as GPS tags for offenders are virtually non-existent.

“There are just two GPS bracelets being used in Tenerife at present, despite the high number of restraining orders imposed.

“The dead woman had already reported her daughter’s ex-husband for threatening her and yet she was not safe from him. If he had been tagged she might still be alive” they added.

Los Cristianos

Language learners queue all night

Demand for places on courses at the Official Language School in Los Cristianos led many hopefuls to spend the entire night queuing to be guaranteed a place.

Hundreds of people young and old hoping to study English, German, French, Chinese and Spanish for Foreigners clogged the pavement outside the school for days queuing to get their names down for next year’s courses before the closing date for applications on 29 June.

T h e u n p re c e d e n t e d demand has triggered fresh calls for more resources to be allocated to the school, which currently has just six classrooms for the over 60 language groups.

tax shock

Spanish tax rise to target the wealthy

By Bill Blevins, Financial Correspondent, Blevins Franks

W

ealthy individuals living in Spain need to brace themselves for an unexpected tax shock.

Spanish President, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, has announced an imminent tax increase for, “those who actually have more”. Whether this is the last of the tax rises or there are more to follow remains to be seen. It raises the importance of tax planning to minimise your tax liabilities and protect your wealth.

In giving warning of the impending tax rise, dubbed a, “millionaire tax”, on 26th May Zapatero told parliament that it would affect only those with a, “high economic capacity”.

At the time of writing details have not been released on how the tax would apply or how long for.

It marked a u-turn by the

Government, which had previously recently rejected the idea of imposing a millionaire tax.

While Zapatero now says that only the most wealthy will be affected, the middle classes will be concerned that he will also have to backtrack on his promise not to target them.

Zapatero feels that the better off should make a special effort.

“In my opinion, each citizen feels that the effort should be greater from those who have more,” he told an EU news conference.

It places a heavy burden on affluent taxpayers whom the authorities and public alike feel should pay for the bulk of the deficit bailout. Spain aims to reduce its budget deficit from 11.2 per cent last year to 9.3 per cent this year, six per cent in 2011 and below the three per cent EU threshold by 2013.

There has been some speculation about which taxes would rise, with an article in El Mundo on 19th May listing potential areas where the government could increase taxation.

Tax increase on income

This will protect your wealth giving you more to spend on the lifestyle to which you are accustomed and protect the inheritance you intend to leave to your family.

A tax and wealth management specialist like Blevins Franks can advise you on the appropriate tax planning to suit your specific needs.

The highest rate of income tax is currently 43 per cent, applying to those earning over €53,407 in the current tax year.

This tax rate could be increased for higher earners and tax bands potentially narrowed.

Wealth tax The tax rate was effectively reduced to zero on 1st January 2008 by applying a 100 per cent tax credit, leaving scope for this to be reversed.

The tax rises underline the importance

SICAVs These open-ended collective investment schemes have been a controversial structure in Spain as they attract a very low tax - as little as 1 per cent.

There is plenty of scope to raise the tax rate to collect more revenue.

of tax planning

Succession tax The Institute of Fiscal Studies (IEF), has carried out studies looking at a new tax on succes-

sion which would establish a common minimum tax across all of the autonomous regions.

To limit the impact of the po-

tential Spanish tax increases, wealthy taxpayers can often use effective tax planning measures to reduce their tax liabilities.

School magazine competition

Joint winners in El Médano CEIP

By Clio O’’Flynn

R

egular readers of Island Connections will know how delighted we were to be asked to get involved in a new initiative in the El Médano Infant and Primary public school.

The brainchild of auxilliary English teacher Kathy Webber, five classes in 5th and 6th years (between 10 and 12 years of age) spent lots of time last term working on producing a school magazine in English. Each class decided on their own title and contents, and pupils worked on layout, pictures, and the final results were laminated and judged.

The judges were myself and professional photographer Stevie James, and from the outset we were both really impressed with the work the children had achieved in such a short time, and given that there are very few native speakers in these years at all they should all be extremely proud of what they produced.

We read each of the five magazines, page by page, and we’re delighted to see that each had very much an individual style and personality, some tending more towards bright and breezy, look taking precedence over information, while others reflected the time and effort their contributors had put into ‘publishing’ a well researched and informative magazine. From pet’s pages to puzzles, fashion, music, recipes, the history of the Canary Islands, and lots of sport, there was oodles of detail, and a great amount of individual commentary which was terrific to see.

We judged on look, content and English (given

that this was a project for their English class), quizzing teacher Kathy on how many of the contributions were translated from Spanish, how the young writers had found their facts and whether they had much help on a page by page basis.

In the end it was a tie between two excellent publications. Island Times was produced by class 5B and scored high on all counts, with lots of upbeat personal commentary, a great section on wild animals and loads of yummy recipes.

The Super Duper School Mag (SDSM) was the work of class 6A and had some excellent background information on the school and surrounds, helpful info on pet dos and don’ts, had some very professional lay outs and scored ahead of the rest with a back page full of advertising.

Well done to the two winners and also to the three runners up as well as the school’s English language department for getting the publications together. The end results were very close indeed.

We are looking forward to getting involved again next year.

School bus catches fire Children on a school bus had to be evacuated when the vehicle caught fire.

To celebrate their new direct service linking South America to Paris via Madrid, Lan Airlines have launched a free draw for flights.

Adeje bus Ooh la la fire The incident occurred at just after 7pm on the TF1 motorway near the Atalaya roundabout just a few days before the school holidays began.

Various motorists called the emergency services to report that the engine of the bus was on fire but by the time Civil Guard units arrived to deal with the incident the children had been evacuated safely and luckily no-one was injured.

National athletes in Arona

Arona is hosting the national Spanish Veterans Athletic championship in the first week of July.

Schoolkids learn about S Nelson defeat

The book, 1797: 5 dias de Julio (5 days in July) by local historian Luis Cola, narrates the adventures of a local blacksmith who gets caught up in the battle to keep Nelson and the small English task force at bay in the city harbour. The blacksmith describes how he was not prepared to allow his life, which had taken a turn for the better with the birth of his son and a lucrative contract to make iron railings for Santa Cruz, to be ruined by invasion.

c h o o l c h i l d re n i n the Tenerife capital are being given the chance to learn more about their city’s most famous historical event through a new Spanish book which describes Santa Cruz’s heroic defence against invasion by English troops led by Horatio Nelson.

Transport

2,500 copies of the 143-page illustrated book have been distributed to local schools for use by children aged 10 to 12.

Santa Cruz culture councillor Maribel Oñate said that, in addition to being a fascinating read, it would give youngsters valuable insight into the history of their city and help them appreciate the valiant efforts of their ancestors.

The defeat of Nelson is an important feature in the city’s history

The three day meet is taking place in the Antonio Domínguez stadium on July 2nd, 3rd and 4th, and Arona was chosen as the host borough out of the many Spanish towns that applied, because of its dedication to the world of sport, according to Javier Sabina, a Spanish Athletics Federation representative.

Arona mayor González Reverón said the event would underline Arona’s standing as a national spor ting reference d e s t i n at i o n , a d d i n g h i s a p p re c i at i o n o f “the excellent sporting ins tallat ion s at our disposal in the borough”, which are used by almost a thousand sporting activists on a regular basis.

The mayor also said that events of this kind were an excellent boost for tourism as it meant that sportspersons from the Spanish peninsula, visiting the region with their families, also had the opportunity to enjoy Arona’s tourist side.

From September 2, Lan Airlines will be running three weekly flights on their modern Airbus A340, including stops in the Spanish capital to and from Paris, Charles de Gaulle airport. The prize in the draw is for 10 free flights so you can visit gay Paris with nine of your friends and family or two return flights from Paris to Peru. To enter register at www.lan.com/ es_es/promociones/data/ europa/viaja_gratis_a_ paris. One registration per person only and the offer closes September 5.

Dangerous breeds

Muzzle sales soa

r

Coincidence or not? The days following the tragic news, which made the national headlines, that a toddler was mauled to death in Tenerife by the family pitbull have seen a massive increase in sales of muzzles and sturdy dog leads.

According to a spokesperson for the dog refuge in Valle Colino they have also seen a sudden rise in the number of ‘dangerous breed’ dogs that have been handed into them “abandoning such dogs in the street carries a huge fine”, said a source for the refuge.

It will be interesting to see if police vigilance in checking whether owners of such breeds have all the necessary licences increase. According to the Veterinary College in Tenerife they are they only body with the legal power to issue these licences and they currently only have agreements with 14 of the 31 Tinerfeño councils to do so.

LegalMatters

By John Hatrick, Tenerife Solicitors

Property registration Q. I am looking to purchase a property that was built in 1963. The seller has owned the property since it was built and the property has never been registered with land registr y. Is this likely to affect our purchase?

Who is legally obliged to organise registration of the property? Also, how long will this take and is it likely

to delay completion of the purchase?

A. When buying an unregistered property of this type, it is the buyer´s obligation to register it. The timescale for the registration procedure is impossible to determine and will depend on how much documentation is available for the property, for instance

Joint property Q. If my girlfriend and I purchase a property in Tenerife with a view to obtaining permanent residence, what is the legal situation if we are not married? Can the property be purchased in our joint names, with each of our shares going to the other on death? We are both English.

A.

Two unmarried English par tners purchasing a property can easily buy that

property in joint names. You should also make Spanish Wills in order to leave your share to each other, or if you prefer, to some other person. Spanish law dictates that the estate of a non-Spanish national administered under a Will proceeds in accordance with the law of their home country (in this instance, the laws of England & Wales).

Thus, you will have freedom to dispose of your assets in this instance as you wish. However, if you don’t make Spanish Wills,

whether the property is already registered at the local Town Hall or not. A solicitor can investigate what documentation is available on the property and can make sure that the seller is in fact the genuine owner. This is obviously essential in this instance, as there is no simple check that can be carried out that would be available with a registered property.

Spanish law will apply, which includes potential compulsory inheritances to spouses, children and parents, resulting in a potentially undesirable outcome.Interestingly, under Spanish law, it is also possible for you both to agree that within a given period of time, neither of you will commence proceedings to sell the house if you fall out with each other and split up.

Tenerife Solicitors can assist with both property purchases and Spanish Wills. For further advice, please call 922 717845 or email to info@tenerifesolicitors.com

Car grant problems T

he government’s financial incentive to encourage the purchase of new cars is back in the headlines, this time due to claims that dealers may try to recoup the money from customers after a computer glitch made them miss the deadline for submitting details to the Ministry of Trade and Industry to obtain a refund of the discount.

UNIVERSALIS COMMUNITY ADMINISTRATORS C/ Graciosa, nº 4 - Local Playa San Juan · Tenerife Tel. 922 13 83 17 Fax 922 13 82 55 info@grupouniversalis.es www.grupouniversalis.es

According to the national dealers’ association, up to 13,000 sales operations were affected by the hiccup, which the government says disqualifies the dealers from receiving refunds of €500 per sale. “The applications were not submitted and therefore the transactions are not eligible,” insisted a ministry spokesman.

Furious dealers say the problem was caused by the computer system set up to handle the applications and if the ministry does not reverse its decision, they will contact the owners of the new cars to ask them to pay back the €500. “We knocked the sum off the price in good faith and to make life easier for customers, rather than refund it to them months later once the claims were processed. But

now we may have to recoup the money from them,” said an association spokesman.

The problem is not the only one to affect the incentives, known as Plan 2000E. Purchasers of new cars under the scheme found out through the media a few months ago that the regional and governmental part of the discounts, which can total €1,000, count as income and must be included in the annual tax return. However OCU consumer organisation recommend also disclosing the ‘loss’ of patrimony due to the compulsory handing in of older vehicles for scrap as this can be set against gains in personal wealth caused for example by the sale of a property.

Tax payers have up to four years to claim against the loss once registered.

Dear Dr.de la Flor Dear Doctor Dear Janet, I have ver y dr y skin and don’t know why or how to treat it. What do you suggest?

Your intact, healthy skin is your body’s primary defense against infection. For many, dry skin is not a sign of a skin condition or disease, but is simply caused by harsh soaps, itchy clothing, misusing moisturiser, and long, hot showers. But the medications you take and even medical conditions such

Sincerely, Janet

Soaking in the bath for too long can dry out your skin

as diabetes, psoriasis, hypothyroidism, and malnutrition can also cause severe dry skin.

Let’s go through some of the most common causes of dry skin: Misusing moisturiser : You’ve probably already tried a moisturiser, if not dozens.

The biggest mistake we make is applying moisturiser to dry skin, when it’s least likely to help. You have to put on moisturiser when your skin is still damp. That way, the moisturiser is trapping the moisture still on your skin. People with dr y skin should get mild moisturisers that have no perfumes or alcohols.

Often, the less expensive stuf f you can get at the pharmacy or grocery store is better than the high-end products! Here’s a simple moisturiser test. Put some of your lotion in the palm of your hand and flip your hand over.

If it runs or drips, it’s not thick enough for dry skin.

Dry air: Dry air is probably the most common cause of dr y skin, especially during the winter.

It draws the moisture right out of the skin.

Dry skin during winter even gets its own name: winter itch.

Long, hot showers and baths: Prolonged exposure to water

(especially hot water) can wash away the natural oils that protect your skin. If you get out of the bath or shower and your skin feels tight, it’s dried out. So what should you do?

First, choose showers over baths. The water doesn’t have to be cold, but it should be lukewarm rather than hot.

Soap: Soap can quickly strip away your skin’s protective oils, and we tend to use way too much of it. Unless you’re a child or a ditch digger, the only parts of the body that need any soap or cleanser at all are the face, hands, feet, groin and underarms.

The rest of the body can usually just be rinsed of f with water.

Medications and drugs: A number of medicines have the side effect of drying out the skin (high blood pressure, antihistamines, acne). If you notice the onset of a dr y skin problem after starting a medication, talk to your doctor. He or she may be able to help by changing the dose or switching the medication.

Medical conditions: Some conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, diabetes, hypothyroidism and malnutrition can also cause dry skin.

I hope these tips help you identify some of the culprits of your dry skin. Take care.

Dear Doctor I have several family members with diabetes.

What do I need to be aware of?

Cheers, Ed

(especially after eating), dry mouth, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss (even though you are eating and feel hungry), fatigue (weak, tired feeling), blurred vision, headaches. I can’t overstate the importance to get diabetes testing and start a treatment plan early to prevent serious diabetes complications.

Type 2 diabetes is usually not diagnosed until health complications have occurred.

Most often, there are no diabetes symptoms or a very gradual development of the above symptoms of type 2 diabetes. In fact, about a third of all people who have type 2 diabetes don’t know they have it.

Other symptoms of type 2 diabetes may include: slowhealing sores or cuts, itching of the skin (usually around the vaginal or groin area), frequent yeast infections, recent weight gain, velvety dark skin changes of the neck, ar mpit and groin (called acanthosis nigricans), numbness and tingling of the hands and feet, decreased vision, and impotency.

Smoke free class The Canarian government’s department of health has awarded the prizes for the VII edition of the contest Clase sin Humo (smoke free class), in which 2,161 students and 84 teachers from 22 schools in the Canaries took part.

Thanks to initiatives such as this, the Canary Islands form the community with the lowest number of young smokers in Spain.

The contest forms part of programmes for the promotion of good health and prevention of illness and has been aimed especially at 12 to 18-year olds, an age group which, according to the World Health Organisation, is decisive for the rejection or adoption of smoking habits.

The contents of Clase sin Humo emphasised the consequences of passive smoking on non-smokers. Hence, the students promised not to smoke for at least five months, implying a commitment to refrain from smoking until the end of the contest, and they also had to create a slogan relating to the prevention of tobacco addiction.

The classes which successfully reached the end of the period without smoking were eligible for two local prizes of a day of sporting or leisure activities in natural spaces, and a separate prize (an Mp3 player each for the students and their teacher) for the best slogan, which was selected by a jury.

Dear Ed, I’ll tell you some of the most common signs of type 2 diabetes. But first, it’s essential that you get tested for diabetes since in some cases it can go unnoticed for years! Even pre-diabetes can increase the chance of heart disease just like type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Talk to your doctor about preventive measures you can take now to reduce the chance of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

The symptoms of type 2 diabetes due to high blood sugar may include: increased thirst and hunger

HealthFitness Fabian Fitzner founder and chief trainer of Bfit 24h gyms and Bfit Personal training.

Training vs. exercising?

A

re you training or exercising? Interesting question? Most people probably wouldn’t even know there is a difference, but a small definition can make all the difference in the success or failure when it comes to our desired body changes.

First we’ve got to talk about what training is. Training is a workout which is also defined as high impact. You work out up to your actual skill peak.

During the training your body gets tired and immediately afterwards it starts to recover.

During the next 24 -48 hours (12-24 hours for professionals) your body recovers completely and will even be a little bit above its old skill peak. Your body just adapted and got better. Now is the right time to set up your next training session.

If you follow that concept of train and rest theoretically you would get better every time.

The problem here is that different adaptations happen at different times. To catch the point of optimal regeneration is almost impossible as your muscles adapt very quickly but your ligaments and tendons need more time to recover.

Your nervous system also has a different time adaption rate to your cardiovascular system and so on. But the fact is that after a training session you will have morphologic changes.

Your muscles grow, the bone structure adapts, your ligaments become more resistant, your heart pumps more blood and oxygen with each beat, your coordination and balance improve and much more.

There, in essence, is the difference between training and exercising. Training can be de-

scribed as high impact, exercising more like low impact. You do work out but your body does not benefit as much from exercise as from a training, though your coordination gets better and you maintain your current skills.

Here are some examples of the difference between training and exercising. If you lift weights and you are struggling with the final reps and increase the weight each work out, then you are training.

If you go for a five kilometre run three times a week never running faster or further you are just exercising. Aerobic classes are mostly exercising as the focus is fun. You need to understand that you need to go to your limits to have a visible body change.

Keep that in mind when you hit the gym next time.

Beach prepared?

Bikini body time!

A

s the days start to get longer, and the temperature heats up, you decide to start thinking about getting a nice summertime tan.

But as you don your bikini you realise there are certain areas that aren’t quite as toned as they should be, and notice a bit of extra winter weight here and there!

So what do you do about it?

You need a plan! Well to start with there are two aspects of health and fitness you need to focus on. First is your diet, and second is exercise.

Everybody has different nutritional needs so you are better off speaking to a nutritional advisor for a personalised eating plan. However, general guidelines would include eliminating as many sugars, salts, starchy white carbs, and saturated fats from your diet as you can. You don’t want to starve yourself so eat lots of fruit and veg, protein, and wholegrain cereals. Chicken breast, white fish, pulses, porridge are all good examples of healthy food options. And obviously drink lots of water to keep hydrated, especially in the summer months.

Once you get a good diet in place you will have more

energy to get the best out of whatever training programme you choose. Which brings us to the second part of your ‘Fit summer body plan’ - exercise!

There are so many forms of exercise to choose from these days, there really is no excuse not to do anything. The main areas most women like to focus on are the legs (thighs), the bum, and stomach (abdominals). If you are quite self motivated or self-conscious and like to train on your own, power walking, running and swimming are good to get started but then you may need to increase the intensity of the workout to keep getting results. Swiss balls (also known as stability balls) are also good for targeting problem areas and can be used in the comfort of your own home with the help of a fitness DVD. Some other good home exercises to be used with or with-

out the ball are squats, lunges, side leg raises, side and front stomach crunches. Alternate between slow holds and quick repetitions of each exercise to get the full benefit of the move. Now, if you’re the kind of person who needs a bit of a push and likes to be in a group or with other people to train then you could choose any one of the various fitness or dance classes on the market.

Step and dancercise classes are good for cardio and fat burning with a bit of fun choreography thrown in. For a more intense workout try Boxercise, Legs, bums and tums, or any body pump/body combat classes.

For a slightly gentler start you could try yoga or pilates for stretching and toning. So get your body moving today!

Dates for your island hopping diary

Island hopping S

tay close to home this summer and make the best of all that the Canary Islands have to offer.

Although the Islands are geographically close they are all very different and there is something unique and special about each of them. For hikers, in addition to the private companies, many of the 88 boroughs offer subsidised guided walks. Remember if you want to hire a vehicle on one of the smaller islands you will have to book well in advance and don’t forget to get a certificado de residencia (valid six months) from your local town hall for each of your group, you will need it to obtain Canarian residents’ discounts.

La Gomera

The largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife has two World Heritage Sites and 43 natural protected areas.

Go shopping in the capital or one of the many commercial centres, visit a museum, a show or one of the great theme parks designed for all ages to enjoy.

There are times that the whole island feels like a theme park with its variety of ambiances and an infinity of things to do, all under the dominion of the majestic volcano, Mount Teide, the highest mountain in Spain, which guards this island so full of contrasts.

If you prefer a cooler climate stick to the north, if days full of sunshine are your desire head south. Enjoy the 400 kilometres of coastline with sheltering bays and spectacular cliffs, the ancient forests of prehistoric species, extensive Canarian pine woods, amazing rock formations, volcanic cones and lava fields and lush valleys with tropical crops - areas which house a multitude of flora and fauna species, many of them exclusive to the island.

El Hierro

La Gomera, the ‘other’ Emerald Isle, is the closest to Tenerife, but a world away from the busy resorts and commercialism of its big sister.

Don’t miss:

Teide National Park, Loro Parque, Siam Park, Anaga/Teno Rural Park, a whale and dolphin watching trip.

Main summer fiestas:

San Benito Romería, La Laguna, July 11, Fiesta del Carmen, Puerto de la Cruz, July 13, Fiesta del Carmen, all main sea ports, July 16, Romería, craft fair and special volcano celebration, Garachico, July 21 – August 1, Hearts of Tejina, mid August, Candelaria saint’s day, August 14-15.

The youngest island with contrasting landscapes of lava and cypress trees tortured into twisted shapes by the prevailing winds and fields of subtropical vegetation.

One of nature’s jewels the whole of the centre of La Gomera is a National Park and a World Heritage Site and houses a leafy forest with species which disappeared all over the world millions of years ago, but can still be found here.

A walker’s paradise, each turn of the corner brings another picture postcard view with deep ravines diving down to the sea, verdant valleys full of palm trees, intimate rural hamlets, impressive cliffs and hidden coves of black volcanic sand bathed by crystal waters. Many of the hillside terraces are still under cultivation and the whole island is governed by the European Sustainable Tourism Charter to protect the natural areas whilst offering high quality service.

Don’t miss:

Garajonay National Park / A boat trip to Los Organos (a basalt-structure of up to 80 metres high resembling an organ), almogrote cheese spread, palm tree honey, watercress potage, Silbo (whistling language) exhibition, the potters in Chipude.

La Palma Thanks to its crystal clear waters, El Hierro is recommended by scuba divers as a divers’ paradise and one of the best seabeds to discover in the world. Fertile valleys are interspersed by cliffs of up to 1,000 metres in height, ancient remains of prehistoric forests and giant reptiles brought back from extinction are only a few of the wonders to be discovered in this small island.

As one of the last destinations to be discovered by tourists,

Don’t miss:

Giant lizard centre, La Frontera

Garoé tree interpretation centre, San Andrés Mirador de la Peña, Playa de los Verodes

Orchilla lighthouse, El Pinar, pineapple farms

the majority of the area is still relatively unspoilt and plans are well underway to make it 100 per cent self sufficient in energy production and usage.

Forget stress and break with routine in this privileged island where the aboriginal legends speak of sacred trees that dripped water, the place that in olden times was considered as the end of the known world.

Take advantage of a special offer from the island council this summer for free transport with every hotel booking of three days or more.

Main summer fiestas:

Virgen del Carmen, La Restinga, July 16 San Lorenzo, Frontera, August 10 Candelaria, Frontera, August 15

Main summer fiestas:

A green island of unsurpassable loveliness where the natural landscapes are almost untouched.

The clear skies of La Palma make it one of the world’s best observation platforms for studying the celestial bodies which is why it houses the most important telescopes in the northern hemisphere. The many ravines and ancient forests are traversed by innumerable hiking trails, allowing access to remote and lovely areas of natural beauty in an island declared a World Biosphere Reserve by Unesco.

A massive 35 per cent of the landscapes are protected and La Palma boasts a certificate confirming that it is the best sustainable tourism destination in the world. The scars of the last volcano to erupt in the Canaries in 1971 can be clearly seen and visited, clear seas off welcoming beaches invite you to take a dip or there are natural rock pools galore like the charco azul in San Andrés y Sauces. Cross one of the largest craters in the world in the National Park, visit the stone multicoloured waterfall, take a stroll through Los Llanos de Aridane to see the huge modern wall murals or drive to the spectacular salt flats in Fuencaliente.

Its capital city boasts one of the best climates in the world and is considered cosmopolitan and dynamic with great shopping centres and a wealth of cultural offers all year round in the various theatres and auditoriums, museums and open air concerts. It is also the island where you can visit more of the ancient archaeological sites of the original aboriginal dwellers and taste the heritage they left in a special way. On the other hand, the island offers everything to those who are looking for a quieter more tranquil vacation in touch with nature in one of its 33 natural protected areas. Walkers will enjoy the renovated ‘royal’ ways which are part of the island’s cultural heritage. Kilometres of golden sands draw the sun and beach brigade, or you can find yourself a tiny black lava sand cove away from it all with a backdrop of rustling fields and Canarian palm trees or hemmed in on the heights by Canarian pines.

To visit Lanzarote is to visit some of the most spectacular volcanic landscapes in the world.

The internal heat of the Earth is still near to the surface and guides in the national park create geysers of steam and flash scrub bushes into fire to the delight of the visitors whilst the on-site restaurant offers food cooked over a volcanic heat source. Black lava flows contrast with white sand beaches and clear water and tiny deserted islands can be spied from many of the cliffs. In this island of volcanic landscapes it is fascinating to see how the locals have designed a unique cultivation method that allows them to get excellent results from an apparently sterile land under a blanket of black volcanic gravel.

Thanks in great part to the artist, César Manrique, here there are no high rises and no garish colours to detract the eye from the beauty of the land.

It is the largest of the Chinojo archipelago and has its own tiny dock in the island’s capital at Caleta de Sebo and a heliport. With just over 600 inhabitants the island gets a living from tourism and fishing.

Its 24 square kilometres can be visited in a very short time, but to really enjoy the feeling of time-standing-still, stay a few days at one of the tiny guest houses.

Don’t miss:

The island’s out of the way natural beauty and beaches.

Main summer fiesta: The combined fiesta of del Carmen and Saint Francis of Assisi is held on the Sunday closest to July 16.

Fuerteventura

A great place to enjoy everything that the beach and ocean has to offer, but the island is not just sun and sand. Enjoy vast plains carved out by centuries of erosion contrasting with volcanoes and lava fields. If you enjoy birding, the island has a special natural area protected for the birds and if you are lucky you may see the flight of the Egyptian vulture, the only member of its genus to live in

the Canaries. Let your imagination take flight too into the most distant past as you visit the Montaña Sagrada or visit the most recent past with a visit to one of the interior’s rural hamlets with superbly maintained traditional Canarian architecture homes. Gastronomes will particularly enjoy visiting the tiny fishing villages, each of which offers the visitor local dishes with the freshest of produce to secret recipes handed down through the generations.

There are two main inter-island air transport specialists, Binter and Islas Airways and in addition other airlines, such as Air Europa, offer inter-island flights. However it is well to bear in mind that some airports have to suspend services with the smaller planes when there are high winds.

Binter runs daily flights between all islands every day of the week, operating to and from Tenerife’s northern and southern airports. You can get more information of when and where from their website at www.bintercanarias.com.

What to buy

For shopaholics, part of a great holiday is wandering around all the new and different retail areas.

Weekly markets now abound all over the Canaries, some similar in type to those you may find at home, others offering craft or agricultural products on sale directly from the farmers and larger cities also boast municipal markets which often have great places nearby to grab a couple of tapas and a glass of vino at lunch time.

All the islands offer great wines and cheeses and all have a good craft offer in most disciplines. In Tenerife, ceramics and basket ware abound. The drawn thread work is particularly excellent as are

the rosetas of Vilaflor, however don’t be conned by the table to table sellers in the main squares whose produce is almost always from Asia. La Gomera is famous, among other things for its pottery made in the aboriginal style and its palm honey, La Palma for raised embroidery and sweetmeats made with almonds and El Hierro specialise in various articles made from wool and wood.

Helpful hints for around the house

Measuring for a new door

An external door is very much the ‘window’ on the home. It must be welcoming, but still retain a high level of security. When choosing, take time to look at door styles in similar houses, and consider whether the door you like complements the windows and other features.

This door opens on to the camino and is complementary to the neighbouring doors. It has to cope with intense sun and heavy rain on both sides, and our neighbours advised us that woodworm and fading paintwork are a real problem. So we chose painted aluminium.

You need to take some measurements. When measuring either your interior or exterior door, ignore the current door size and follow this advice.

Width: Measure each door between the frame at the top, the middle and the bottom. Choose a door to suit the widest size, always remember to make sure that the widest size can be adjusted to suit the narrow area of any part of the opening without compromising the stability or affecting the look of the door.

Useful vocabulary

Door / puerta Hinge / bisagra Door Handle / tirador Wood / madera Glass / cristal Wood chip / chapa de madera Varnish / barniz Aluminium / aluminio If you would like any advice on this or any other DIY techniques, contact Robert on 922 814 073, mobile 605 469 352 or email rjmcalees@yahoo.com

Height: Measure from the carpet/floor covering to the underside of the timber lintel.

Thickness: Measure the door to find out how thick it is at present. With Interior doors you may have to compromise and fit a slightly thinner door, as we did with this half glazed door into the kitchen.

This does not normally present any problems. You also need to know whether it is left or right opening.

The most recent case has been reported in Callao Salvaje where a number of cats were found dead near the back of the El Ancla complex. In the past owners fed strays here and there was a colony of up to 20 cats living in the grassy overgrown patch. Residents were not always happy about their continued existence and often berated those who fed them, feeling that they encouraged their extended stays.

Earlier this year the village received a visit from British based neutering charities, and the local council has also been known to operate a stelilisation scheme for stray cats, but obviously this wasn’t enough for some individual or individuals who decided to take matters into their own hands and lay poison down. While they might have hit their intended targets, they also harmed at least one family pet and caused alarm in the village, with pet owners being warned to keep dogs on a tight leash and family cats indoors. At last count eight cats and at least two dogs had died. There is also the danger of a toddler who is out with their parents inadvertently placing a poisoned pellet in their mouths – as any parent will tell you even the most monitored children can slip an object into their mouth unseen at the worst possible moments.

This kind of personalised culling is not a good option, either for the cats or the ‘innocent victims’. While packs of stray cats are not welcome by most people, deciding to take their lives and deaths into your own hands has to be discouraged.

Maybe though the answer is in putting more pressure on councils to deal with the problem in a humane way so no-one needs to resort to inhumane methods in the future.

peeled and sliced to

• 75gr powdered almonds

Tasty winners

The winners in the recent Guía de Isora gastronomic fiesta, Sabores de Isora/Flavours of Isora, which took place between May 3 and 23, have been announced.

E

ight local restaurants were involved in the festival/competition, and all offered a special menu, including a first and second course, dessert and a drink at the flat rate of €20. Each of the courses within the menu contained at least one of the following ingredients, almonds, honey and/or gofio (a toasted ground cereal meal).

T

he overall winner was Taberna El Escondite, in the town’s centre, for their offerings of Escondite delights (gofio crèpes filled with dried fruit, nuts and vegetables with a palm honey sauce), Delights of the sea, accompanied by seafood flavoured mashed potatoes and El Escondite’s gofio and almond sauce and for dessert a sponge cake with gofio ice-cream and almond flakes,

flambéed with honey liqueur. The winners received a diploma and €700. Second prize (a diploma and €300) was awarded to the Mesón Grill El Cochino in Fonsalía, who offered scallops with a champagne and gofio sauce, venison loin with a red fruit and honey sauce and Vareniki (boiled pasties) with fresh goat cheese, almonds and honey. uía de Isora mayor Pedro Martín congratulated all those who took part and said this kind of gastronomic event was important not just in promoting the restaurants in the region and generating employment but in the overall growth of the borough as a tourist destination.“At the very least these restaurants are genuinely creating a dynamic in each locality”. He added that the next step for the council would be to promote the sector in a municipal gastronomy guide. Tourism councillor Héctor Gómez thanked all the restaurants who participated and was also vocal in his gratitude to Turismo de Tenerife for their help in promoting the event throughout the island.

2. Leave to chill and rest in the fridge for an hour covered with cling film.

The small local banana, the plátano, is being recommended as the best food for a busy summer.

6. Spread the onion mixture on the base and cover with the sliced pears in a circular pattern.

7. Crumble in the cheese on top, whisk the eggs and cream together, add the thyme and seasoning and pour carefully over the cheese.

8. Bake for 30-40 minutes until just set. It will need to rest for 10-15 minutes before turning out of the tin and serving.

Sweating in the heat can cause mineral loss and this fruit also gives you 24.8 per cent of the potassium and 83.3 per cent of the magnesium that your body needs per day.

hey always told me there was no such thing as a free lunch but I did think I could get a cheap flight and bring sandwiches...but not so it would appear.

Travelling to and from the Canary Islands just got more expensive, cer tainly if you want to bring any kind of little luggage with you. It seems that today every airline now charges for checked-in luggage, something that you need to factor in when you’re browsing the net for a cheap flight.

I thought I was getting a good deal recently with Spanair when I booked, as last year they didn’t charge for bags. But now they do – and if you don’t pay online, as I didn’t, you’re stung for €50 at the airport. Is this legal!? I seem to remember your

paper reporting last year that a consumer group in Madrid were advising people not to pay a Ryanair baggage charge as it should have been included in the ticket, but that seems to have gone by the by. In fact no-one seems to be taking up cudgels on behalf of us travellers.

And now of course you have the next step, with Ryanair and Samsonite combining forces to offer customers a ‘chance’ to buy hand luggage that meets all their stated requirements – it’s still not obligatory, but watch this space!

I suppose you could argue that the flights are so cheap today compared to in the past that paying for ‘extras’ is fair enough – but since when is luggage an extra?

The other red army

W

ith school holidays upon us I have been taking my two little girls to the beach after work, but have been more than appalled at the behaviour of some parents, from their appearance on holidays, with their young charges.

Some people laugh at me spraying on frequent applications of SPF 50 on my kids, even after 4pm, given they have inherited their father’s Spanish skin colouring, but I reckon you take no chances, especially with young delicate skins.

On the other end of the scale I have seen lobster red parents letting their kids play in the sun, beside the glare of the sea, and with little more than a single layer of cream, applied only once, and often on

skin that has obviously already been over-exposed. Mad dogs and Englishmen indeed.

I find it hard to imagine that in this day and age they don’t know any better. With so much spoken and written about the dangers of overexposure to the sun and the permanent damage you can do to young skin, it’s scary to think that parents will be careless enough to let their kids run about without adequate protection.

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

 Rat (1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008) It would be unwise to spend without thought or adopt new investment strategies – play safe now!

You might experience tensions in love relationships and a hitch in any new romance.  Ox (1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009) Be careful not to mislay important documents or let secrets slip from your tongue now. Home-life will be peaceful, allowing you to strengthen bonds with family members or children.  Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998) It is an opportune time for making money, so push your wares on ebay or get down to that car boot sale.

Linea Directa

Who can drive my car?

M

any drivers often ask themselves who exactly can drive their car if their motor insurance is only in their name.

The answer to this question depends on which company you are covered with as not all insurers will cover you if an accident occurs when another person other than the policy holder is driving the car.

In fact, many insurance companies only cover those that are stipulated in the policy or Certificate of Motor Insurance.

Thus, if anyone else is driving your vehicle such as members of your family or even your partner or spouse, both they

and you need to be aware that they may not be covered in the event of an accident.

However, if you have motor insurance with Línea Directa, any person that you have given permission to drive your car (regardless of whether they are a named-driver on your policy or not) can be safe in the knowledge that they will be covered for any eventuality.

Nevertheless, as with all policies, there are some exceptions. Anyone driving your car must be at least 26 years of age and hold a valid driving licence that permits them to drive legally here in Spain.

Unlike with other insurers, Línea Directa policy holders

Cuts

also need not worry about how many years the driver that is using their car has been a licence holder. In the same manner, they also need not worry about a collision caused by this person (who is not a named-driver on the policy), as Línea Directa will still cover any damage regardless of who was driving the vehicle at the time. What’s more, these benefits are available with both third party liability and fully comprehensive car insurance.

In the case of an accident, the car would be covered as if you, the policy holder, were driving it. And once again, the only exception is that any driver under 26 years of age must be stipulated under the

Governments Cheeky compete on thieves wage trimming caught

It did not happen in the Canaries but police say a lesson can be learnt from the arrest of an Alicante couple dubbed the cheekiest thieves in recent times in the city.

T

he controversial cutting of public sector wages announced last month by the Spanish government has been followed by a flurry of announcements by local and regional government in the Canaries stressing what they are doing to tighten belts to alleviate the crisis.

The Tenerife Cabildo has been quick to point out that it set the ball rolling on freezes and cuts for its officials and politicians around two years ago, long before the Zapatero government launched its austerity drive. The measures, it says, have helped ensure the corporation’s budget is 12 per cent lower than that of similar bodies elsewhere. A few days later, the Canarian government announced that ministerial pays are being docked by between 10-15 per cent, backdated to 1 June even though the required legislation has not been passed yet. Senior officials have also been told to expect a cut above the five per cent average applicable to public sector workers.

At local level, several town councils have also implemented (and given extensive publicity to) the wage reductions introduced for mayors and councillors, although in some cases the measures have been greeted with scepticism. In El Rosario (Tenerife), for example, the self-imposed cut of nine per cent will make little inroads into the 30 per cent increase in salary the local mayor has enjoyed since 2007.

The couple, in their 20s, monitored the movements of shoppers and followed them discreetly to their cars to see if they left their purchases in the vehicles before returning to do more shopping. The pair then broke into the cars, stole the bags of shopping (particularly clothes from brand stores) and took them back for a refund or, for ones they particularly liked, to swap the items for others in their sizes.

They were caught after a surveillance operation which was launched following a significant rise in car break-ins in the centre over a period of several weeks.

“They deliberately checked to see if the sales receipt was in the bag before deciding which items to take. The incident should make all shoppers take

“Special Conditions” section.

Drivers of this age and younger, however, can still obtain car insurance with Línea Directa Aseguradora, which has a specialised department that deals with younger drivers, their questions and doubts. They too can purchase a motor insurance policy that is tailored to their needs – and again, at fantastic prices that are amongst the best on the market.

Without a doubt, Spain’s largest direct line insurance provider, Línea Directa, offers an unparalleled service to all of its customers regardless of age or nationality – and offers cover at really unbeatable prices.

It is also particularly committed

extra care when using shopping centre car parks, which can be a source of rich pickings for thieves” said a local police source.

La Palma airport

Weather pull-out fears

L a P a l m a a i r p o r t ’s reputation for closure during bad weather could persuade tour o p e ra t o r s t o d i ve r t holidaymakers elsewhere after the summer, the local authorities fear.

Incidents during the past winter and early spring, particularly the prolonged closures in December and February due to wind and rain, appear to have dampened the enthusiasm of several top holiday companies due to the extra cost of putting up their clients when they have been unable to fly to or from the island. Although no official pull-out threats have been received, the local tourism sector believes that plans may already be in place to cut flights to La Palma from countries such as Germany and the Netherlands, both of which are important markets for the island.

Las Galletas

Better shopping

Arona council is asking residents and shoppers in Las Galletas their opinion on how to renew the area to improve commerce.

Energy costs

Economic agents and institutions are calling for a reform of legislation rul i ng the Canari an electricity supply after the latest report shows production costs are massively higher than the Spanish peninsula.

The main landmass of Spain is connected to the French electricity system where they receive supply and to the Portuguese system where they sell energy, but the Islands are

made up of six isolated subsystems. The Minister for Industry is floating the idea of unilateral legislation which would force the costs even higher as the Canaries would be dependent on petrol produced power and unable to use more of resources such as the wind and sun. The proof that the Islands need a different legislation is in the cost of power production which in the Spanish peninsula is €66.43 per kilowatt and here rises to €147.53.

Television

TDT fallout

T h e re p l a ce m e nt o f analogue television by digital television in the islands has been a boon for Television Canaria but hit other local stations hard.

According to a report

by Kantar Media, in the first four months of this year, local stations only attracted 21.5 per cent of the Islands’ residents to tune in for more than a minute, whilst 98 per cent of the population watched Televisión Canaria at some stage. Local stations were watched by 32.2 per cent of the population in September 2009, but are now followed by only 4.4 per cent of viewers.

he new Mitsubishi ASX, an urban crossover vehicle, is described as the right car, at the right time, at the right price and specification.

The ASX is the European version of the Japanese RVR, which went on sale in Japan in the Spring. The ASX seats five and is aimed at expanding Mitsubishi’s passenger car footprint in Europe, following in the footsteps of the larger and recently redesigned Outlander midsize crossover.

The new ASX is targetted at customers who would normally buy a C-segment car, for instance the VW Golf or Ford Focus, and also those who want to downsize from their SUV or family estate car.

Competitively priced, it competes in the ever expanding crossover marketplace against rivals such as Nissan’s

ore than a million Harley-Davidson bikes, with their owners and other motoring enthusiasts invaded Barcelona recently to get close to the world of Harley-Davidson and absorb its philosophy and way of life.

ASX Qashqai. It is a two-wheel drive vehicle, with an AWC electronically controlled 4x4 system available on the 1.8-litre diesel version.

There is a choice of two Euro V engines: a 1.6-litre petrol, offering 115hp at 6,000rpm, combined fuel consumption of 47.1mpg and CO2 emissions of 135g/km and the 1.8-litre turbodiesel offering 147hp at 4,000rpm with combined fuel consumption of 51.4mpg and emissions of 145g/km. A fivespeed manual transmission accompanies the 1.6 engine and the 1.8 engine comes with a six-speed manual gearbox. The 1.8 4x4 version offers 49.6mpg and emissions of 150g/km.

The ASX is a world first passenger car application of variable

valve timing with a diesel engine.

It is equipped with Automatic Stop and Go, electric power steering, low rolling resistance tyres, regenerative braking (Generation Control System), low viscosity oil, LED lighting and these together with weight reduction measures all contribute to the vehicle’s excellent emission levels and fuel economy.

Standard equipment on all models includes alloy wheels, air conditioning, Automatic Stop and Go, Active Stability Control and Traction Control, aux-in jack, keyless entry, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, dual stage front, side and curtain airbags, driver’s knee airbag and tilt and telescopic steering column.

Moving through the range, the ASX 3 gains fully automatic air conditioning, one touch starting, cruise control, heated seats,

privacy glass, audio wheel controls, Bluetooth™, leather covered steering wheel and gearshift knob, automatic lights and windscreen wipers, and chrome exterior trim.

The ASX 4 gains leather seats and a Kenwood in-car entertainment system which incorporates iPod control, satellite navigation and a reversing camera.

In terms of safety, it has qualified for Euro NCAP 5-star and features Mitsubishi’s RISE (Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution) energy dispersion crash safety structure.

Further improving safety, all ASX models come with whiplash reducing seats, up to seven airbags, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, Active Stability Control, Traction Control, Hill Start Assist and Emergency Stop Signal System.

Pedestrian protection measures include plastic front wings, a double bulge bonnet and energy absorbing front bumper.

For more information about the ASX, priced from €24,150, visit your nearest Mitsubishi dealer or www.mitsubishi-motors.es.

There were people of all ages including families with young children and bikers wearing their traditional leather gear, all enjoying the festival atmosphere. Worldwide Harley enthusiasts united, from Norway to Mexico or even the United States, as well as Europe. A new attraction this year was the Ladies of Harley marquee with customised bikes and activities including a lesson on how to lift a Harley up again if it had fallen over. There was also a Harley Custo exhibition, a Fit Shop, fashion shows, documentaries, an open air exhibition and a meeting point. The latest models were on display as well as customised bikes including the creations of Ferry Clot. The most popular attraction was Demo Rides – free mountain test rides which attracted 800 people.

There were also guided tours and the grand flags procession – the Harley Days star event which united 10,000 bikes.

Award

Toyota Canarias T

oyota Canarias have once again been awarded the Customer Service Excellence Award.

This award programme was created

by Toyota in 2007 with the objective of improving after sales customer satisfaction worldwide and strengthening the service offered by the company’s network. The stringent criteria which have to be satisfied in order to win this award are based firstly on human resources – the number of technical instructors and technical support personnel in the dealership, and how they deal with repairs and guarantee work, as well as field representatives.

The second is based on the standard of repairs, problem detection and the ratio of qualified personnel. The third is their capacity to offer the service, with the number of technicians, assessors and work places evaluated in relation to the number of vehicles attended to.

The logistics of replacement parts and accessories are also evaluated in terms of availability and customer demand.

Lastly, the overall level of customer satisfaction is studied and strong and weak points noted.

Sad endings T

here’ve been some sad endings for many of boxing’s all time greats over the years.

The beatings Muhammad Ali sustained in his final fights were troubling and it seemed unfair that such a great champion like Joe Louis would be given such a send off by being battered and then knocked out by Rocky Marciano. The boxer of the 1980s, ‘Sugar’ Ray Leonard, took a merciless beating before he got the message from old father time.

There was the Macho Man, the great Roberto Duran, who was arguably the greatest lightweight fighter of all time, and had an incredible boxing career which lasted well over 30 years. But the Panama legend cut a sad figure in the latter part of his career when he was being battered about by boxers who, when Duran was in his prime, would not have been good enough to spit-shine his boxing boots.

Mexican icon Julio Cesar Chavez was another warrior who kept battling on when way past his ‘sell-by-date’. After 103 professional fights with 36 of them being world title fights he took on the then young Oscar De La Hoya for his world welterweight crown. But it was a sad ending to the fights to hear the booing from Chavez loyalists as he quit on his stool between the 8th and 9th round. Beaten, battered and badly bloodied with his lip hanging off his face he had tried everything to win, but he had nothing left.

Now Evander Holyfield, at 48 years of age still believes that he can end his extraordinary career as undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and bring back the crown to the USA.

Over the past 10 years the old warrior has still waged wars against the biggest heavyweights in the world but surely he would be taking too much on to tackle either of the Klitschko brothers for I’m sure they would be too big and strong for Evander who, these days, must be fighting almost on instinct. I believe also that David Haye, who is some 20 years younger, would punch too fast, too hard and too often for the old-stager, who is not a complex man. God and boxing are the two things that drive him.

Personally I hope the granddaddy of American heavyweights doesn’t answer his country’s call once again, for he could be beaten very badly and that’s one thing nobody wants to witness.

Challenge Tour

Á

lvaro Velasco took the honours for his first pro trophy at the Fred Olsen Golf Challenge de España in Tecina Golf, La Gomera.

Velasco turned professional in 2005 and has been runner up on a number of occasions, but this is his first victory. The win moved him from 44th to eighth in the Challenge Tour ranking. He took the title with 18 strokes under par, two strokes ahead of Scot, Elliot Saltman, equalling the course record along the way.

141 players from 21 countries teed off for the opening two rounds of which the top 65 players went into the final two rounds. The hosts were delighted to be staging the competition at Tecina Golf again, and saw it as a vindication of the excellence of the course and organisational skills of their team.

Winners of the pro-am trophy which preceded the main event were the professional Jesús Arruti with his amateur partners for the day, Juan Antonio Galindo, Antonio Álvarez and Imeldo Salamo. During the competition, Britains’s Daniel Denison sank a hole in one on the eighth and Jordí García Pinto (25th) was disqualified for using a wedge which is not permitted in the conditions of the European Tour.

ew Tenerife manager Gonzalo Arconada can claim fame not just as a respected second division coach but on several other fronts also.

He is the brother of one of the most famous of all Spanish goalkeepers, Luis Arconada, who played for the national side between 1977 and 1985 and earned worldwide fame for his blunder which cost Spain the 1984 European Championship final against Michel Platini’s France. Gonzalo’s signing makes him Tenerife’s 70th manager since the club rose from regional football to national level back in the mid-1950s.

Worryingly for him, he is the sixth to be appointed by current chairman Miguel Concepción since taking over in February 2006. Of the previous appointees only the recently-departed José Luis Oltra lasted more than a season.

Canarian golf received a shot in the arm publicitywise with the performance of local player Rafael Cabrera in the opening round of the US Open.

Ladies’ volleyball club C.V. Tenerife are pinning their hopes of a revival on American Bridget Fonke, who is considered one of the brightest prospects in the US squad at present.

26-year-old Cabrera, who is from Gran Canaria, captured the headlines on Day one, diverting media attention in Spain from the anticipated battle between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. Despite an anxious wait when his golf clubs were lost by the airline during the trip to the US, the Canarian started his first ever major (for which he had to qualify in a tournament in Surrey in May) in impressive manner and momentarily headed the leader board, eventually finishing the day with four birdies for a one-underpar 70, which left him joint second overnight.

He fared less well on the other three days, posting cards of 75, 81 and 72 to finish well down the field, but no-one can take away from him the limelight enjoyed for 24 hours in Pebble Beach.

23-year-old Fonke joins the islanders from St Louis University, where she received an AllAmerican Accolade for the second year running last season. The aggressive outside hitter was voted best forward on a number of occasions during the season and hopes to continue that form for her new club, which wants to challenge for honours again this year after a very poor 2009-10 season that almost ended in relegation just a few years after the side strolled to all the trophies in Spain and Europe.

The island will have three teams in the Spanish premiership this year: C.V. Tenerife, Jamper Aguere (the current league champions) and Cuesta Piedra.

Tenerife’s World Cup England triumph

The organisers of the annual Tenerife Champions Cup, the beach volleyball event of the year, are celebrating because the 2009 European Beach Volleyball Challenge is a finalist in two categories of the Premios Eventoplus 2010.

England lift the Tenerife version of the World Cup

T

he Soccer Experience 7s World cup took place the last weekend in June with eight different Nations battling it out for the coveted prize of Soccer Experience World champions.

First up was England, captained by John Parkes, and one of the favourites from the outset. Spain, captained by Airam, became an instant hit with the spectators with some wonderful fancy footwork and skills. Scotland were up there with the strongest sides with wee Kyle and the Mcrorie brothers rallying the tartan army on!

With England taking all the plaudits and banking most of the bets for the event, the England under 21 team took a lot of the teams by surprise as they were as strong as any other side in the tournament with the likes of Billy Ions Jnr who might play for the real under 21s one day as he has just signed for Newcastle United, Sam Strange and Courtney.

The African nations were well represented with team Africa under the guidance of Captain Mariano, who themselves looked to pull off a few shocks. A European Union side

also followed suit along with the Rest of the World squad each out to upset the bigger nations in the tournament and maybe send a few teams home. Also backing up a terrific line up we had the England Masters the more senior of the England teams looking to prove that youth isn’t everything at this level.

After the initial round robin play we had the bottom two in each group qualify for the plate Semi finals with all the high drama you could ask for. Africa took on Europe and Rest of the World took on the England Masters with Africa saving the best for last and as the only team not to have gained a point in group stages upset the odds and beat Europe to make the Plate Cup final, taking on the England Masters who got stronger as the tournament continued and beat the Rest of the World to take that Plate final spot, and then sealed a brilliant tournament by winning the final against Africa.

In the main tournament semi finals we saw Scotland take on their old foes England with this one billed as the clash of the Titans, as one of the favourites had to go out ,

and it was England who had the upper hand within five seconds with a wickedly deflected shot looping into the Scottish bottom corner, after which Scotland threw everything at England but nothing could pierce a wonderful defence and England even had time to hit on the counter to make it 2:0, a great win for the English lads to the despair of the Scotland braveheart faithful. In the other semi final we saw Spain take on the impressive England U21s which turned out to be a cracking encounter, the U21s were one down early but the young English boys bounced back in the dying seconds after the Spanish GK handed the ball back to the opposition for a free kick and with the ruling that all free kicks are allowed to be taken quickly the U21s tapped the ball into an empty net! With the game finishing a draw we saw the first penalty shootout of the night with U21s keeper Sam coming out on top by sending the England U21s through to their first World Cup final, an all England affair !

In the final England and the England U21s geared up for a cracking final, and the game soon got off to a flying start

with individual battles going on all over the park.

There was nothing to choose between them but after a consistent fast pace throughout something had to give and it was the England team who drew first blood with Darrel scoring a wonderful looping shot into the top corner. The U21s were up against it but to the surprise of everyone the young ones bounced back with a brilliant solo goal by Billy Jnr rounding three players and showing enough nerve to slot the ball home.

The full time whistle blew soon after and penalties beckoned. In true English style the pressure of penalties mounted and the first for either side were saved brilliantly by the keepers leaving no room for error on the remaining few, the U21s were next to miss as the pressure grew and the more experienced England team punished them for it and went on to lift the famous trophy.

Soccer Experience would like to thank all the teams and captains for making this prestigious event a success and for all the helpers and staff on the day pulling together to make this great event come to light.

The presentation gala takes place on July 5th at the Coliseum of the Gran Vía in Madrid. This is the first time that a Canarian event has been nominated as one of the three finalists in any category of these prizes. The first of the two categories relates to the best ‘media exposure with impact’. The event was publicised internationally, on the internet and in press,

radio and TV at a cost of around three million euros.

The other category nomination refers to the place used for the event and the hotel linked with it, and relates to the utilisation of the space at Siam Park as well as the qualities of the Sheraton La Caleta Resort and Spa. The nominations are considered well deserved, even though the Tenerife Champions Cup is competing against other main events in Spain and Portugal including the Formula 1 in Valencia and the Land Rover Festival in Barcelona. Overall, the main beneficiaries of these nominations are Tenerife and Costa Adeje, and the Canary Islands in general.

Post-relegation

Clear-out begins

Las Palmas have set about building a new squad after this season’s brush with relegation from the second division.

The last-gasp escape from the drop to the second division B, courtesy of a 1-0 win over Tarragona on the final day, was followed within hours by the news that no fewer than 11 of the squad have been told they are not being retained.

The names to leave include captain and crowd favourite Marcos Márquez, one of six players told to find other clubs despite having at least a year to run on their contracts. Also out are Walter Fabián Assmann, Gregory Beranger and Andrés Lamas, who have been on loan during 2009-10 and go back to their home clubs.

The clear-out does not include manager Paco Jémez, whose contract was renewed for a further year. Jémez replaced Sergio Kresic in April as the side slipped dangerously down the table and was promised a full season in charge if he kept Las Palmas up.

Division news

New play-offs

The Spanish Football League has changed the system for promotion from the second division as of the coming season.

Until now the top three teams gained automatic promotion but the system now changes to incorporate two playoff rounds. The champions and runners-up will continue to go up directly to the Premiership but the team that finishes third will join the three teams immediately below in the two-leg play-offs. The winners of the first round will meet, also over two legs, to settle the last promotion berth.

No changes have been made to the relegation system and the four bottom sides will go down to Division 2B.

Many English holidaymakers were waiting to see how far their national team got before booking their summer sun break and when England crashed out they wasted no time in getting online. Good news for the travel industry and hopefully for the islands. Good news too for non-nationalistic footie fans who saw over £600 knocked off the remaining quarter final packages.

Hawk-Eye

Now you see it…

Following England’s defeat by Germany, and the Lampard goal that was or wasn’t, there have been fresh calls for the introduction of some form of sideline technology to improve refereeing standards.

World cup

Player of the week

Robinho

Ex Madrid player and currently under contract to Manchester City, although on loan to his home team of Santos, was man of the match in the Brazil v Chile game during the last 16s.

According to reports, the inventor of Hawk-Eye has said referee Jorge Larrionda would have known within half a second that Frank Lampard’s shot had crossed the line during the game against Germany.

Dr Paul Hawkins has seen his technology successfully introduced into tennis and cricket, and in general the belief is that the move has improved the sports in question. Fifa have argued that the introduction of technology would break up the game, but according to Hawkins “goal-line incidents are the only decisions which are entirely definitive and the answer can be provided to the referee within 0.5 seconds of the incident happening”.

fans could have probably predicted the outcome given the performances of the two teams prior to their meeting, which saw Germany justifiably walk away winners, despite Lampard’s disallowed goal.

Despite their loss in the group stages to Serbia they have been keener, more disciplined, and certainly have scored more goals.

on their shoulders.

It has also been a World Cup of surprising exits, with both of the 2006 finalists, Italy and France, on the plane home after inglorious displays in the first round. And of course the blame game sets in – though in the case of Italy it’s hard to see how you can blame trainer Lippi, as he took the side to victory only four years ago.

The reaction in Paris too was seen as even more ridiculous than their sides’ footballing skills, with the team’s somewhat infamous striker (from an Irish point of view anyway) being motorcaded away to the Élysée Palace to meet President Sarkozy to give him a private rundown of what had happened.

Spanish radio commentators guffawed that you would never see that happen here – “though maybe if Aznar was still in power”, he being such a big fan of the game, they added.

But when it comes to an international stage the size of South Africa and this World Cup it would seem all bets are off.

Certainly when England faced Germany in the last 16 anyone with any ounce of footballing history looking back to the final in 1966, and the disallowed goal, would wonder if revenge would be the order of the day. But sporting as opposed to national

proved life for referees and players and fan reaction is also positive. It would certainly seem to be a better option than that of Fifa over the replay of Tevez’s first goal (clearly offside) against Mexico, when their initial reaction was to state a need to reconsider showing replays on the stadium giant screens.

At the highest levels today in these sports where a call by a referee, linesperson or umpire can make or break a game, surely the use of highly sophisticated technology is a given. Wake up Sepp Blatter, your analog alarm clock is ticking.
