Candelaria

D-day for Cho Vito?

A

Cabildo president Melchior met recently with Cho Vito representatives

s we go to press the owners of homes threatened with demolition in the Cho Vito district of Candelaria are continuing their hunger strike, with two of them recently hospitalised.

In the most recent development, the strikers, who began their public demonstration on September 1st, say they won’t halt their action despite a statement from town mayor Gumersindo García that he will not fly to

Madrid to plead their cause and seek a reversal of the demolition decision unless the families call a halt to the protest. Instead the hunger strikers, protesting in the middle of Santa Cruz city, say they will only leave their makeshift camp on the main square if they receive a written guarantee that their seafront homes will not be pulled down.

The protesters have support from many quarters, and representatives recently met with Cabildo president Ricardo Melchior, vice-president José Manuel

Bermúdez and planning councillor Pino de León. According to a Cho Vito spokesperson, Tomás González, the president’s intervention was welcomed as always. Pino de León said it “wasn’t a good idea” for the demolition, scheduled for September 20th, to go ahead and while the Cabildo wouldn’t stand in the way of any legal process, each situation merited individual consideration and attention in the search for a solution within legal parameters.

The mayor told local press that “we can’t simply pay more attention to those who shout the loudest….in this case there are currently signed legal documents stating that the homes in question are illegal and must be demolished”. Therefore, he stated, the only way to save Cho Vito is to persuade the coastal department that this small populated tract “contains elements of ethnographic value that are part of the zone’s heritage”, and that should be protected. García also claimed that in his opinion both the regional Canarian government and the Tenerife Cabildo had done little to help.

As well as the threat over the Cho Vito homes, twenty houses and two restaurants in the Punto del Viento zone in Las Galletas are also listed for demolition. In this case the majority of owners are reported to have accepted the decision and offers made under an expropriation order.

Divorce statistics

Kiss and say goodbye

T

he Canary Islands are the leaders in the divorce statistics for Spain. 5,944 marriages broke up in the Islands in 2009, and of these there were 5,667 divorces, 270 separations and seven nullifications. The average is 2.83 per 1,000

inhabitants. The average duration of the marriages which had been dissolved was 15.6 years, and in seven out of every 10 cases, the divorce process took less than six months to complete. The majority of divorces involved couples in the 40 to 49 age group.

p to 25 people have been arrested as part of Operation Arrow in Spain (Operación Flecha in Spanish), a joint operation between the Guardia Civil and the UK’s SOCA (Serious and Organised Crime Agency).

12 houses were searched and, according to official sources, 38,000 ecstasy tablets, four kilos of cocaine, 250 grams of ketamine, four litres of GHB, 50 grams of crystal MDMA, one kilo of M.CATS (a mix of various drugs) and €56,000 were seized as part of the operation. The drug ring, led from the UK, had two branches in Ibiza, one in charge of establishing contacts on the island and the other responsible for the distribution of the drugs. The Guardia Civil have arrested 24 people (14 men and 11 women), 20 of them of British nationals,

According to the Guardia Civil, the investigation began last September following Operation Trafalgar, when they dismantled a British organisation involved in drug trafficking on Ibiza. Following analysis of some seized documents and information ob-

Spanish forces to identify the criminal organisation operating in Ibiza, directed from the UK. Earlier in the summer, the people who are now under arrest were detected and several surveillance measures were put in place. It was suspected that they were trying to build the necessary infrastructure for drug distribution in Ibiza during the summer months. The investigation confirmed that a

drug trafficking organisation based in the UK had established a two-branch network in Ibiza. One of the branches was in charge of establishing a network on the island and the other of physical distribution of the drugs. The branches were led from the UK by a group supplying the drugs. Members of the drug ring regularly visited the islands to supervise and collect the proceeds.

The drugs were brought onto the island using various methods including hiding them in cars from the UK and in the luggage of Britons arriving at Ibiza airport. On 8 August, a young Briton was stopped attempting to carry three kilos of cocaine through the airport. Several properties were rented on Ibiza, including luxury villas for the ringleaders and flats and apartments in tourist resorts for the dealers. The dealers would keep various quantities of drugs for daily distribution and the bulk of the drugs in secure houses where they did not live.

The ring used young ‘public relations’ people in nightclubs to distribute the drugs and ensured similar prices were charged at each point of sale, depending on the time and place.

Canarians abroad

The regional television station Televisión Canaria is currently working on a series featuring Canarians who live abroad, and would love to hear from those of you who have left the islands in search of pastures new.

W

e spoke to the programme producers and they are very keen to hear from anyone who has ‘Canarian roots’, so it may be that your parents emigrated to these islands many years ago but you are Canarian born, and have now decided to travel – maybe even back to where your parents left from so many years ago. Or perhaps your studies or the search for a fresh start have taken you even further afield.

No matter what corner of the Earth you are now based in, they would love to hear from you.

T

he series will start in October, so if you are interested in taking part call the programme production team on 902 100 593 or contact them by email canariosporelmundo@tvcanaria.tv.

S

o far the team have visited Canarians in Stockholm, where they also took part in a ‘Millennium’ tour, taking in sites named in the The Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson, Brussels, Amsterdam, and trips to London, Agadir, Miami, Munich, Paris and New York are in the planning stages. In the programmes the Canarians who are now based in their new homes take the crew on a tour of some of the lesser known sights and show why and how they live their new lives.

German marketing coup

Gran Canaria has pulled off another tourism marketing coup in Germany.

T

he island features on the cover of a new holiday brochure distributed to 9,000 travel agents across the country. The brochures have been prepared by tour giant FTI for its winter holidays to Spain and Portugal and, in addition to the front cover pictures of the island, Gran Canaria receives comprehensive coverage on pages 2 and 3.

A

tourist board spokesman said the advertising in the 180,000 brochures was a major boost for the sector. “We have provided the photos of beaches and other natural attractions and in return we get free advertising from a tour operator which has 5.6 per cent of the German market” said a spokesman.

FTI flies an average of 22,000 holidaymakers to Gran Canaria every year.

Business passengers to lose discount?

Residents in the Canaries who fly business class to the mainland are set to lose the current 50 per cent discount under a shake-up of the subsidy system.

T

he Spanish government has announced it will review the current mechanism in the coming months to ‘rationalise’ the subsidy and ensure it reaches those who need it. “It is unfair

etails of the new discount rate have not been finalised but it is likely that a sliding scale will be applied.

Tacoronte

Fires extinguished The Tenerife Cabildo brought the early stages of a fire under control at the end of August in the area of La Hornaca in Tacoronte.

The fire, which was extinguished within an hour and a half, had affected some 1,500 square metres of heather and bracken. 40 members of Brifor (the forest brigade) took part in the extinction

process which was made difficult by high temperatures and the winds affecting the area. The Cabildo’s Sokol helicopter, based in La Guancha, and various vehicles with capacities of 300 to 4,000 litres of water also took part.

At the same time, the forest brigade, working with the Tenerife Fire Brigade

and voluntary firemen, extinguished a fire which began in Agua García within the borough of Tacoronte, and which also affected El Sauzal. The Cabildo’s Sokol helicopter, additional water carrying vehicles and Guardia Civil, Local Police and Civil Protection personnel also took part. Luckily this fire did not affect the popular forested area.

La gomera/Peni Shipping hikes

Price rises ‘inevitable

’

The news that shipping lines serving the Canaries are planning to increase freight charges further has triggered fears of hefty rises in the prices of essentials ranging from food to building materials.

I

mporters and traders have reacted furiously to the increase of around 25 per cent in the cost of shipping a container announced by almost all the lines a few weeks ago. With more rises on the way given that the companies insist that they are merely recovering past losses and have still to reflect the true cost of shipping to the islands, a campaign has been launched to reverse the decision. Several influential sectors, including fruit exporters and the construction industry, have called on the government to use its influence to force a rethink before steep price rises become inevitable.

R

etailers say the lines have been allowed a monopoly in freight and can do what they like, but if new companies were encouraged to set up here, “the competition would soon make them see sense”.

CabildoNews

Cuts hit WTM

News from the Tenerife Cabildo

New number is rubbish?

T

he Canaries’ participation in this year’s World Travel Market in London has been hit by cost-cutting imposed on government departments, although some still feel the revised cost to be much too high.

The Tenerife Cabildo have launched a new number for people to call if they are not sure how to dispose of their rubbish.

If you’re not sure how to separate your garbage, wondering whether tetra packs are recycled with plastic bottles or cardboard boxes, and where your nearest recycling point is, worry no more. You can ring a freephone number, 900 305 000, and get answers to all your rubbish questions. The helpful service, working to improve the environment, will also help organise informative visits to different environmental and recycling points throughout the island.

It’s another step in the right direction, say the Cabildo, designed to further increase the level of participation by residents and visitors in keeping our island clean.

Among the decisions taken by the Department of Tourism which slipped by virtually unnoticed at the end of August was one concerning the cost of the islands’ stand for the WTM, widely regarded as one of the most important events in the travel business. Having spent €420,000 and €479,000 in the last two years on the stand for London, regional tourism chief Rita Martín has now decided to trim the expense for 2010 and has set a ceiling of €350,000 for the tender, which was announced recently.

The lower figure refers only to the actual cost of the design and building of the stand, but not the high cost of flying regional officials to the event, which takes place during the second week in November.

The Canary Islands won the Best Stand Award last year.

H

oliday giant TUI has chosen Fuerteventura to mark a landmark anniversary.

The tour operator returned to the scene of its first ever holiday hotel purchase 40 years ago when it launched its Robinson Club brand, which now boasts almost two dozen establishments worldwide, two of them in Fuerteventura.

TUI bought up the Jandía Playa Hotel in Morro Jable back in 1970, initiating a relationship with the island that has gone from strength to

openly accused the police of brutality and want the Spanish Foreign Ministry to investigate the incidents. “We were attacked by pro-government supporters and police did nothing help us. They themselves were heavy-handed and used more than reasonable force to break up the protest before it even got off the ground” complained one Gran Canaria woman, whose bloodied face made headline news in Spain. The Canarians

have been accused by Morocco of deliberate provocation by joining the unauthorised protest in the capital of the former Spanish colony, which has been fighting for independence from Rabat for decades. Further diplomatic tension is expected in November, when Las Palmas is used as the starting point for an international flotilla which intends to set sail for El Ayun “to draw attention to Moroccan oppression”.

TUI 40th in Fuerteventura strength. The much-expanded operator now flies tourists from seven different countries to the island, although it is still largely associated with German holidaymakers. Senior TUI representatives spent several days in Fuerteventura to

commemorate the 40th anniversary with local officials, including tourism chief Águeda Montelongo and Cabildo president Mario Cabrera, who presented them with a plaque recalling the Jandía Hotel purchase in 1970.

What a racket There’s still time to catch some of the action in the final days of the IX Tenerife Tennis Youth tournament, taking place in the Centro Insular de Tenis Salvador Lecuona, in Ofra, until September 12th.

Under the auspices of the Cabildo and developed by the public company Ideco, the players are competing at a number of levels, from tots wielding rackets to junior players already on the way to their first international tournaments.

There will be many of the island’s up and coming stars in performance, though it is open to players at all levels, the only requirement being that they are registered with the federation.

Among those taking part are 11 year old Gran Canarian Marta Cañas, currently listed as one of the top four in her category in Spain, and José Antonio Salazar, who won both the cadet and junior titles last year.

Tenerife Academy Not a new reality TV show, the Tenerife Academy project is an innovative way of introducing over 80 travel agencies to the delights of Tenerife as more than just a holiday destination.

Designed by Turismo de Tenerife the Academy shows why the island is also a great choice for conventions, incentive trips, product presentations, and other forms of commercially linked travel.

According to tourism chief José Manuel Bermúdez, this is designed to consolidate a form of tourism that attracts thousands of participants. He said the Cabildo wants agents to be able to offer Tenerife as a destination to companies looking for a place to organise a corporate event.

In two phases, the first saw agency representatives attend a series of presentations in Madrid and Barcelona during the summer. This is to be followed up by visits by personnel from the agencies to the island under the name Ultimate Tenerife Experience.

Museum loses visitors

Cutbacks at the Canarian Museum in Las Palmas have led to a drop in visitor numbers due to the reorganised opening times.

T

he Museum has been hit by temporary staff lay-offs and shift changes since 1 March and has been forced to close three hours earlier every day. It has also been closing at week-ends and public holidays, which used to be among its busiest days.

Conservative estimates put the drop in numbers at around 5,000 in recent months, although the Museum’s general managers says the fall has been “less serious than anticipated” given that the evening closure has had little effect on visits by tourists, who come mainly during the morning. However, some staff fear the latest figures could be used to justify more changes and scale posts down further.

Three-week drift

Miracle rescue

A fisherman rescued after three weeks without food and water at sea has described his survival as “a miracle”.

T

he Moroccan was hauled to safety after his drifting fishing boat was spotted by a Bulgarian cargo ship hundreds of miles off Gran Canaria. His colleague died nine days after they lost their way in the Atlantic but the 35-year-old managed to hang on for another eleven days until he was winched to safety by a helicopter from Gran Canaria’s Air and Sea Search Unit, which was dispatched after the distress call from the Bulgarian ship was received. The fisherman was flown to Las Palmas where he was admitted to the General Hospital suffering from severe dehydration and exhaustion.

Well done

Wingate’s A*s aplenty There were many happy and ecstatic faces from Wingate students and their parents as they read out their IGCSE results.

This only a week after Year 13 student, Pooja Tanwani, gained a place at King’s College London to read medicine by scoring three of the new A* grades at A level.

Wingate’s Year 11 students have done themselves proud.

It has been a bumper crop of good news with many As and A*s amongst the results.

Grades like these show clearly that there are rewards for hard work.

Congratulations need to go to all students not just those who did particularly well. However, those achieving the highest grades do deserve a special mention.

Jordana Burridge, Ana Gomez Thompson and Lewis Brooker achieved six A*s apiece plus an A at AS Spanish and other A grades at IGCSE. Only slightly behind were Elliott Kelsey and Jake Eriksen with five A* grades each. Ana and Jordana

Pooja Tanwani with her results

achieved these grades whilst maintaining their considerable out of school commitments.

Ana has been commuting to Santa Cruz several nights a week for violin lessons, while Jordana took lessons in singing, dancing and acting and still found time to perform.

All five will be continuing their education to A level with

the majority joining Wingate Sixth when it opens in two weeks time.

Chris Green, Wingate’s owner, was also quick to congratulate Wingate Sixth students on their exam results. Special congratulations must go to Pooja Tanwani who achieved three of the new A* grades in A level Biology, Chemistry and

The couple holidayed in the Puerto de Santiago area

Compensation

Couple sue for Tenerife holiday illness A holiday that went wrong for an elderly English couple in Tenerife looks set to end up in court, as the couple seek compensation from their tour operator.

Timothy and Patricia Regan from Sarratt in Hertfordshire have launched legal action against Thomson holidays for, they say, failing to guarantee health and hygiene standards in their Puerto de Santiago based hotel, where they fell ill shortly after arrival. Mr Regan, 63, is quoted in the Watford Observer as saying “the standards at the hotel were shocking, the food at the restaurant was terrible and was severely undercooked. New food was added to old throughout the day so no one had any idea how long it had been sat out for.”

T r av e l a g e n t

La Gomera

A Tenerife travel agent faces investigation after customers were stranded on holiday due to the cancellation of their bookings.

Spain’s Airports Authority (AENA) has slammed air traffic controllers in the Canaries for making false allegations about air incidents said to have occurred in La Gomera since controllers were withdrawn from service recently.

Within two days of arriving at the four-star hotel, both were feeling very unwell and suffering severe stomach cramps. They feared they would need an air ambulance to return home but luckily their condition improved sufficiently to allow them to fly back. However, Mrs Regan was then forced to take almost three weeks off work at the village post office run by the couple, who contacted lawyers to file a claim against Thomson after learning that up to 20 other holidaymakers fell ill at the same hotel between February and April of this year.

ENA says the complaints from the controllers are unfounded and the new AFIS system introduced in La Gomera is working smoothly and incident free.

“The controllers are happy to go public with allegations but not attend meetings we have organised to discuss the situation with the only airline that uses the airport” said a spokesman, adding that AFIS was introduced only after all relevant safety issues had been examined thoroughly.

Thomson says the couple’s illness was not caused by the hotel but was most likely the result of gastrointestinal problems caused by a norovirus passed from person to person. A spokesman said “there was no evidence to support the allegation that any illness at the hotel was related to food hygiene”. During the time in question Island Connections reported a spate of illnesses in the vicinity, which health experts diagnosed as the norovirus, outbreaks of which are common within enclosed areas.

Customers left high and dry I

n the latest scandal to hit the sector here, the Santa Cruz agent is accused of charging clients for accommodation and flights but then failing to confirm the travel arrangements with airlines and hotels. The Diario de Avisos paper reports that one group of holidaymakers had to sleep on park benches in the Balearics on the night of arrival because their holiday apartments had not been booked. After resolving the problem, they then found their return flights to Tenerife had been cancelled. Other customers are said to have faced similar problems in Bali and France. The Department of Tourism has received formal complaints from over a dozen affected clients.

Adeje Fast cars

Santa Cruz speeders caught

Santa Cruz police have tracked two drivers clocked at more than 70km per hour above the speed limit.

Radar traps recorded the offenders on the same weekend driving at over 120 km per hour on a stretch of road where the clearly-indicated limit is just 50.

O

ne of the culprits was a 27-year-old woman driving a Citroen C4. Police have been unable to identify the driver of the other vehicle, a top of the range BMW, and the company that owns the car has been notified that it will face prosecution under the new Penal Code, which makes driving at more than 60km above the limit a criminal offence.

New music school building inaugurated Canarian singer/songwriter Pedro Guerra, who is one of the sponsors of the project, was present at the inauguration of Adeje’s new municipal music school building in Las Torres at the end of August.

At the ceremony which was officiated by the Alcalde, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga and attended by some 500 people, Guerra said, “for me, to sponsor this project fills me with satisfaction and pride”.

Fraga commented, “Today, thanks to Plan E, we have made a dream come true, as we inaugurate a magnificent building which will allow us to develop a valuable cultural

activity and which will also serve as a centre for the people of Adeje. We didn’t have the space before, but now that we do, we will take the maximum advantage of it”.

The inauguration was celebrated with a party during which Guerra explained, “the world could not exist without music, and for this we need people who know how to make music, to write it, feel it and listen to it, and this is why the public authorities are making it easy for young people to study this art. From now on, these musicians will be able to practice in better conditions and the best of it is that in the future, music is guaranteed in Adeje”.

The new building occupies 2,697 square metres, consists of two floors plus a semi-basement. The ground floor houses the entrance hall, administration, a library, five classrooms, toilets and stairs and a lift to connect to the other floors. On the first floor there are 16 classrooms and an access to the terrace.

The semi-basement contains an auditorium with a capacity for 220 persons plus a stage, dressing rooms, rooms for percussion, recording and for the musical band, as well as toilets and a patio.

Students will be able to take advantage of this new facility from September 13th when the new term begins.

Belgian arrested

Police in Gran Canaria have arrested a Belgian man wanted by Interpol.

T

he 69-year-old is believed to have been holidaying in a top hotel in the Maspalomas area when he was detained. He is wanted in connection with an investigation by the Russian authorities into illegal trafficking in valuable gems dating back several years. Spanish police are thought to have been tipped off to his presence in the Canaries

Meet Mike Smith After our coverage of the licensing of the new chaplain, Mike Smith, at All Saints’ Church recently, we found out a little bit more about the flock’s new shepherd.

Mike is 55 years old and until July of this year was employed as Vicar of Driffield in East Yorkshire. He told Island Connections, “in earlier years I was a choirboy at St Paul’s in London, giving me a real love of music. After school I went to Manchester University where I studied French and Spanish, developing a love of languages. I also developed a lifelong passion for Manchester United Football Club! Some have said that is my true religion. (Notice two loves but just one passion in the previous

few lines!) “My career after university led me finally to be a partner in a design and advertising consultancy in Glasgow. It was during these years in west Scotland that my four children were born and I came to faith.

That journey of faith led me to seek ordination and, after two years at Theological College, I was ordained in Chester Cathedral in 1990. My curacy was spent in Wallasey in Merseyside, before moving to East Yorkshire in 1994.”

Mike then divorced and left the church for five years, “spending time selling hardwood floors and then working for the Leprosy Mission (well it made sense to me!)”, he added.

He married Sam in 2001 (also gaining three step-children!). At the time she

was a nurse working in intensive care. More recently she left nursing and became the shop manager in a hotel, restaurant and craft centre in a nearby village. In 2004, He took over as Vicar of the church in Driffield. “We loved being there for the last twelve years, but were excited to be coming to Tenerife to live, work and worship. So far, we have not been disappointed in the least!” Mike told us that while we may now know his background we still need to get to know him, and

(L-R) Fr. Keith Gordon, the Venerable David Sutch, Sam Smith, Fr. Mike Smith, Fr. Malcolm Exley, Pastor Heiland

says, “we hope to get to know the expatriate community over the next weeks, months and years as well as we possibly can and I would be delighted to come and meet with any group!”

Camping

Holidaying within tent

Controllers allege that taxiing planes are often too close to aircraft landing

N

ot too surprising, given the ongoing strain on most of our budgets and bank balances, one of the few forms of holiday making in Tenerife that hasn’t reported a huge drop in numbers is camping in the open.

According to recently published figures there was a small drop in the number of persons camping in one of the many permitted zones in the mountains of Tenerife between the months of May and August – nearly 9,000 used the facilities this year.

It’s a cheap and growing alternative, not just for the more traditional camping set – younger people – but now for older groups and families, with the promise of safe areas for kids to play, wide open spaces, free accommodation, and no threat of loud resort noises to spoil the serenity – that is as long as your tented neighbours are observing the accepted norms of camping.

Tinerfeño campers have a range of sites to choose from. In the north of the island camping is available in Icod de los Vinos (Las Hayas and El Lagar), Garachico (Arenas Negras), San Juan de la Rambla (La Tahona and Fuente de Pedro), El Sauzal (Las Calderetas), Buenavista (Los Pedregales), El Tanque (San José de los Llanos), La Orotava (Ramón el Caminero

All these mountain based sites are free to use and most have access to fresh water (only Fuente del Llano, La Caldera and Las Calderetas don’t), with shower facilities in El Lagar, Fuente Pedro and San José de los Llanos.

There are very few rules and most of them would be obvious to even the most inexperienced of campers.

L

a Laguna ordered the Puchita store to shut because it did not have a trading licence but the shop’s owners ignored the instruction and broke the seal placed on its doors. The row, which has now gone to the courts, escalated at the end of August when Puchita launched a media drive in which it portrays itself as the ‘saviour’ of the poor and elderly.

B

oss Juan José del Castillo has accused the council of targeting his shop deliberately, with the poorer-off members of the community suffering the consequences.

“Our very low prices attract pensioners and the unemployed. On the 25th of every month, the shop is full of OAPs who have just received their pension; the 10th is also very busy because that is the day unemployment benefit is paid out” explained Castillo.

The dispute has arisen over

The controllers have filed a list of alleged problems to a court in La Laguna, which has agreed to look into the allegations that five senior airport managers may be criminally responsible for the breaches. According to the controllers, due to the poor design of the airport, taxiing planes are often too close to aircraft landing and taking off. They also allege that the tower-controlled traffic lights that instruct planes to stop or proceed when on the ground cannot be operated independently due to a switching problem and all are always either red or green.

Sources at the airport say Tenerife North has been caught up in a wider conflict between the ATCs and the Spanish Airport Authority (AENA). “The controllers could have taken their complaints up directly with us but they have deliberately gone straight to a judge knowing that the media repercussions would be immediate and massive.

Anything relating to air safety automatically gets headlines.

It is their revenge for AENA resolving the strike issue” said an AENA source.

the failure of the no-frills supermarket, which is housed in a converted warehouse near Tenerife North Airport, to submit the plans for its car park in time. The delay meant it had not fulfilled the requirements for a licence and, according to its owner, inspectors are constantly turning up to check on the store, which is hoping to enlist popular support to counter La Laguna’s ‘war’ against it.

Jobs for the boys

Who needs advice?

Santa Cruz Council has come under fire after it emerged at the end of August that the co r p o rat i o n s p e n d s nearly three million euros every year on ‘advisers’, considerably more than its much bigger counterpart in Las Palmas.

T

he revelations were made by the UGT union, which

used salary records to calculate wastage in the councils and discovered that Santa Cruz mayor Miguel Zerolo and his local government departments had almost five times the number of highlypaid advisers as Jerónimo Zerolo in Las Palmas, even though the population of the latter city is more than double that of the Tenerife capital.

UGT says the situation in Santa Cruz, where nearly 70 people are currently on the books as senior handpicked officials, reflects the ‘jobs for the boys’ culture of Zerolo’s Canarian Coalition party.

We were promised costcutting measures to trim the corporation wage bill months ago but it seems that traditional practices are hard to eliminate” said a union source.

The patter of fewer tiny feet!

Cats Aid Bash ‘just purrfect’

By Karl McLaughlin

A

n event held to raise funds for an as yet small-scale cat-neutering and vaccination programme in south Tenerife brought tears of pride to the eyes of the man behind the initiative.

Dubliner Dave O’Hora says the Sunday of entertainment and food staged in O’Jangles in Los Cristianos at the end of last month produced a staggering €1,430 and showed how many people are willing to help out with money and time for a good cause.

The proceeds from a giant raffle made possible by the generosity of local businesses, with juicy prizes ranging from a Jet Ski trip for two and horse-riding lessons to meal vouchers and free computer repairs, totalled €600 and the sum was doubled by an equally generous donation from a businesswoman who prefers not to divert any of the limelight from O’Hora and the orange T-shirted Cats Aid volunteers. “To be honest, I did very little myself. The idea took root on the Tenerife Forum earlier in the summer and much of it was down on the day to people like Vanessa Pindoria and Maggie Lennard for using their brilliant contacts to put together a great lineup of entertainers, who contributed

The O’Jangles event attracted a great line up and generous crowd their services free for the event.

In all we had about 200 people turn up” explained O’Hora.

The Cats Aid Bash also served to bring together several local animal help groups such as La Esperanza, K9 and Live Arico, whose Sue Havenhand chipped in with an impressive stage act. Although not yet formally registered here as

an animal charity (“We are hoping this formality gets resolved in September when the person who deals with authorisations at the island’s Cabildo comes back from holiday”), Cats Aid is earning a growing reputation for the work it is doing to lower the numbers of stray cats roaming the streets of areas such as Puerto Colón and improve the quality of life of existing populations by trying to keep them free

of potentially deadly diseases such as feline leukaemia (FL).

O’Hora admits he was struck by the ‘amazing numbers’ of strays during holidays to Tenerife and, since taking up residence a couple of years ago, has been trying to do something about it. “I think there is a general lack of education and awareness as to the benefits of TNR (trapping, neutering, release) and the situation is not helped by owners who decide they can no longer look after their cats (including some ex-pats who move back home) and leave them to roam the streets to fend for themselves. Refuges or feeding the cats regularly on the streets are not necessarily a solution; trapping, neutering and vaccinating strays can make a massive contribution to ensuring smaller and healthier populations,” explained the Dubliner, still reeling from the unexpected success of the bash.

In his spare time, O’Hora has personally trapped and arranged the neutering of the 14 cats which are permanent fixtures in Puerto Colón and San Eugenio Bajo, but a lot still remains to be done elsewhere. “Some get away and their kittens are often seen roaming wild nearby.

The cost of neutering can be astronomical - up to €180 per cat was the fee quoted by one vet - but thankfully we have friendly vets at Hospivet Sur in Las Chafiras who do it at cost price, between €30-€50”.

The success of the O’Jangles event has set him thinking of other initiatives to raise more funding for Cats Aid, including a sponsored walk “targeting people wanting to fight the flab like myself” and, possibly, an eye-catching stunt in the Veronicas/Starco area to get younger people on board also.

All ideas are welcome so get your thinking caps on and contact Dave O’Hora via http://www.cats-aid.com if you can help or want to contribute in any other way.

Titi

Monkey origin probed

A pet monkey abandoned by its owner in Tenerife has been taken into care while its fate is decided.

T

he Civil Guard’s Wildlife Protection Unit (Seprona) was alerted to the case when a woman contacted them to say she had been left to look after the rare white-tufted marmoset or ‘Titi’ monkey by a friend who had still not returned to the island after an absence of several months. The woman, who lives in Alcalá (Guía de

Isora), told police she had agreed to care for the pet for a couple of weeks but now realised that the care arrangement had become permanent and she could no longer cope.

An investigation has been launched to determine the origin of the marmoset, which may have been smuggled into the Canaries from its natural habitat in South America.

Macabre tale

Body lay in hostel

Police in Santa Cruz are investigating the macabre case of a body which lay in a rundown guest house for two years before being discovered.

ccording to the La Opinion newspaper, a drug-addict couple slept in the room with the mummified remains throughout the period. The skeleton was discovered by chance when another down-and-out staying in the guest house on Avenida General Mola entered the unlocked room when its occupants were out. “They had put three mattresses on top of the body and just slept on it as if nothing had happened. The owner of the guest house is an elderly lady with Alzheimer’s and she seems to know nothing about the deceased” said a police source. Health inspectors are reported to have visited the premises with a view to closing them down due to the terrible conditions.

Cultural expansion

The mayor of Guía de Isora recently presided over the opening of the expanded cultural centre in Chiguergue.

Accompanied by the councillors for local development and culture, Hector Gómez and Josefa Mesa, the event included a blessing of the new building by the parish priest Miguel Guerra, which is part of the borough’s ongoing project to improve the cultural network throughout the region.

The new centre, open to the public, is located by the church square and is a two storey building with adjacent parking. The bottom storey has been upgraded with two additional classrooms/salons which can also be merged into a larger conference room with a 114 person capacity.

There is also a new entrance from the parking zone.

On the same evening the mayor was also present at the opening of the village’s new funeral parlour.

Cultural competition

Guía art Over 40 artists are taking part in the XII edition of the Guía de Isora art competition organised by the local department of culture, each hoping to win the first place prize of €2,000.

Last year’s winning work

There are two further prizes of €600.

Each participating artist is submitting two original works, free style and with a theme of their choice. The winner will be chosen by a jury made up of persons from the art world, and announced on September 11th, coinciding with the Fiestas Patronales de Guía de Isora. Cultural councillor Josefa Mesa will make the presentation and open an exhibition of selected entries which will go on show at the Guía cultural centre.

T

he public devotion with which the Spanish reaffirm their faith is probably among the many colourful things that many ex-pats would list as reasons to live or visit here.

Religious celebrations in the Canary Islands fit right into that category, and generally offer a delightful combination of the older perhaps more serious devotees with the younger set who are true in their faith but also delight in the ritual and ceremony and sense of fiesta that such occasions engender.

In Adeje throughout the month of September small towns and villages throughout the borough are celebrating the ‘II Visita Lustral de Nuestra

Señora de La Encarnación’ – the five yearly visit of Our Lady of the Incarnation – when there will be parades, masses, receptions, music and dance, floral decorations, and a lot of ceremony.

The month’s events are all taking place under the umbrella slogan ‘contigo por el camino’ (travelling with you).

According to Adeje mayor José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga “this is a collective experience which reflects our roots, the history of our people, a journey of hope, fraternity and peace where our values and co-existence are fundamental to our growth, both as individuals and as members of society” he said.

Bearing this in mind, it is hoped that people of all nationalities and walks of life who are

resident or visiting Adeje will take part in their local celebrations. The full programme about events is available in many outlets and on line via the Adeje website.

Callao Salvaje and Playa Paraiso It’s only recently that these two neighbouring towns have been included in the borough’s religious network, and local organisers are hoping to attract lots of interest from residents of all nationalities.

“These kind of ceremonies are not generally seen in England or Ireland, but typical of here, and we are hoping that many of our ex-pat residents will want to get involved”, one of the organisers told Island

Connections.

The large ornate statue of Our Lady of the Incarnation will leave the church in Armeñime at 6pm on Wednesday September 15th and travel first to Playa Paraíso and then, probably by car, on to Callao Salvaje, arriving at about 7pm at the plaza at the bottom of the main road.

She will be received with a small ceremony involving some members of the local community, and then walked up to the new church in the village.

There will be a mass in the cultural centre after which the council will lay on a small outdoor toast to the ‘Virgin’ in the plaza by the new church, to which all are invited.

Santiago del Teide

School improvements

Back to school for all, and some pupils in Santiago del Teide will be returning to improved schools and facilities.

The council, via the department of education, have spent the summer improving and upgrading a number of schools throughout the borough as a result of consultations with local managers. Needs were identified by members of each school team and sent to the council who then targeted each area on the list. Work included improving security in some buildings, renovating patios and recreational zones, interior painting, rewiring and plumbing work, as well as improvements in sports courts and dressing rooms.

It’s good to see that despite the ongoing economic crisis and financial question marks over decisions at regional level, at local level councils still recognise the huge importance of ongoing investment in education.

T

he UK tax authority has been hard at work targeting tax evasion. The government and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) are determined to use ever y method they can think of to get their hands on tax they argue is rightfully theirs.

One of the main methods of claiming unpaid tax is through so-called tax “amnesties” disclosure facilities to encourage tax evaders to come clean, pay their back tax, interest and penalties and then to be tax compliant in the future. In 2007 HMRC ran an Offshore Disclosure Facility (ODF), which raised nearly £450 million from around 45,000 people with undeclared assets in offshore accounts.

Last year the New Disclosure Opportunity (NDO) was launched and ran until early this year. It yielded around £82 million from approximately 5,500 disclosures – but this is just from people who came forward voluntarily. HMRC will now dig deeper into information held to pursue those who did not disclose even though they should have and expects to raise around £500 million in unpaid tax, interest and penalties overall.

Before the start of the NDO, 308 UK banks with overseas branches and foreign banks with UK account holders were ordered to supply HMRC with information on offshore accounts. Following the NDO tax inspectors planned to examine

s reported in our last issue, parents of schoolgoing children will be counting the cost of the return to school this month. However you’re better off than you think with the latest report from the FUCI, the Federation of Independent Consumers and Users showing that the average spend per pupil is lowest in the Canary Islands and Galicia at just under €700 per pupil as opposed to over €1,000 in Madrid and Catalonia.

According to the report the national average cost of the return to school comes in at €820 while in the Canaries it’s calculated to be a lot lower, at €688. The FUCI calculated the cost looking at over 200 public and private schools throughout Spain. The average cost arrived at is 6.2 per cent more than last year, at least some of which, according to FUCI president Agustina Laguna, is the rise in value added tax, something not applied here in the islands.

However she also blamed other consumer price rises for the overall increase, which she said “further prejudiced thousands of Spaniards already suffering economically”. The cost of a uniform was listed as one of the most expensive items

The car industry gave a much needed break to the Canarian economy in August thanks to a ten per cent rise in the rent-a-car market.

Ryanair has just opened its newest base at El Prat airport in Barcelona with 23 routes, eight aircraft and are expecting to carry 2.5m passengers annually through the hub.

The average pension earned in the Canaries is below the national average.

Rental boost According to the latest figures only the Canary Islands and Madrid registered any rise at all in the numbers of new cars and other vehicles on the road, with over 2,000 new rent-acar registrations in the month in question. In the case of the Canary Islands the rise was in the province of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

According to the president of the federation of car importers and dealers (Fredica), Rafael Pombriego, thanks to the rent-a-car branch, the sector has been given a boost.

This was doubly welcome given that car sales to private individuals had fallen by up to 16 per cent, and overall the increase in sales would benefit all areas of the sector.

El Prat base opens

Authorities are hoping the move will halt the decline in passengers through the airport – numbers were three million down on 2009. The company say that their new operations base will also create and sustain over 2,500 local jobs as well as 400 direct Ryanair jobs among pilots, cabin crew and engineers.

Ryanair will operate over 400 weekly low fare flights to/from Barcelona El Prat in an investment of over $550 million in the airport. Ryanair’s 23 new El Prat routes are the first low fare routes to/from Barcelona El Prat and will allow the airport to tap into the low fares market, which continues to grow, and which has so far been absent from the airport.

Canarians earn less Over all of Spain, the average pension is €886.40, but the average Canarian resident pensioner can only expect to be paid €858.31. The amount of pension you get paid is based on the amount you earn during the last 15 years before you claim and as the wages are lower here, it follows that the pensions will be too. Better paid pensioners who are earning more than the national average are in the Basque Country - €1,103.79, Asturias - €1,095.58, Madrid €1062,90, Navarre - €991.24, Cantabria - €929.71, Aragón - €907.65 and Catalonia - €900.08. Both the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla are also above the average at €1,001.36 and €9040.65 respectively. Worst paid are those in Galicia at an average of €728.24.

Sales

Fewer bargains

You would think that more items would be bought during the sales during an economic crisis as people make the most of lower prices, but in Tenerife this year this was not the case.

Shops agree that August has been a very slow sales month and the only good sales week was the very first week of discounted sales in July. Total sales are down ten per cent over 2009.

Hacienda

Taxman targets Swiss accounts

Spain’s Inland Revenue (Hacienda) says it will show no mercy to residents here who have not disclosed details of their bank accounts in Switzerland following the expiry of the deadline for holders to declare their Swiss assets.

Spain was given details of approximately 1,500 holders of accounts at the Swiss subsidiary of the HSBC bank after the theft of confidential computer records relating to the period 2005-09.

Hacienda, which set a deadline for holders to come clean and submit extra tax returns to

reflect the hidden investments, is adamant that anyone who did not take up the offer will now be targeted specifically as of September, when inspectors will call them in to discuss their financial situation. Fines are expected to be up to 150 per cent of the amount of any tax fraud detected but criminal prosecutions are possible in some cases, said a Hacienda source.

Unemployment

Turning a corner? province, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria registered the best figures with 1,178 less unemployed.

Business appointments

DinoSol

Supermarket group DinoSol have just announced that Luis Daniel Sanz Suárez has been named as new president of the company. The outgoing president, Javier Puga Santana, who steps down to devote more time to other projects, remains with the company as director.

Luis Daniel Sanz Suárez has been with the company since 2005 when he took up the post of financial director of the DinoSol group, and in 2010 became a company director representing the CMA Retail shareholders. With a background in finance, his appointment is seen as a move towards the consolidation and expansion of the company in the food sector.

DinoSol is a major distribution group operating under the superSol, HiperDino, CashDiplo and HiperDino Express labels. It is the fifth largest distributor in the field in Spain, with 445 distribution points nationally.

W

hile the national unemployment figures rose again in August following four consecutive months of improvement, the Canary Islands was one of only three independent communities to register a drop in those on the dole.

Not only did the Canaries register 1,867 less unemployed, but they broke the trend with the best figures in Spain, according to data released by the Ministry for Employment and Immigration.

The numbers registered as unemployed dropped in all the islands except for El Hierro where the numbers rose by 5.3 per cent but the reduction was most apparent in La Gomera with 14.5 per cent less people on the dole. By

By sectors and activities, the service sector benefitted the most with 1,953 less unemployed, followed by construction at 322, while the segment where unemployment rose was that of people who had previously been out of work, according to the Canarian Observatory of Employment and Professional Training (Obecan). This organisation also emphasised the increase in the number of people of working age compared to a year ago, of 8,700, the third biggest increase in Spain.

The cost to the public services of unemployment benefits in the Canaries rose to €144.8 million in July, which is an increase of 3.5 per cent on July 2009 while the number of employment contracts granted was 48,501, 10.2 per cent less than a year ago. Of these, 3,889 were indefinite contracts, which means that 71.8 per cent of employees in the Canaries are working on that basis compared with 66.3 per cent two years ago.

Alberto Génova, general director of the Canarian Employment Service (SCE) linked the reduction in unemployment in the Islands to good progress in the tourism sector, adding, “these have been good months for tourism and the repercussions have been immediate and direct on employment”.

He called this fall in unemployment “good news”, but emphasised that, “we must keep our feet on the ground”.

He continued, “the reality is that we continue to have a serious problem

because we have 260,000 Canarians out of work”.

He pointed out that the August figures seemed to confirm a positive tendency which began in May, and said that he hopes that this continues in the following months. It is difficult to know whether or not this tendency will continue but he added, “the data we are receiving from the tourism sector looks good for the future, and if this is confirmed, we can hope for further slight reductions in unemployment”.

Génova explained that the summer season is different in mainland Spain.

“We began to see a reduction in unemployment in May, but at national level it was visible in April because that is when they open their hotels and staff are taken on. Now August is over, many hotels will be closing in Spain”.

He also explained that the slight improvement in figures in the construction sector was due to renovations rather than new constructions.

Meanwhile, countrywide, the social security system lost 131,858 contributors following six months of increases.

In general, Spain’s increase in unemployment was not good news, but the Secretar y General for Employment, Maravillas Rojo, described unemployment as “significantly inferior” to that of the last two years and said that the tendency continued towards figures registered before the economic crisis.

However, Partido Popular leader Mariano Rajoy continues to underline that Spain has the highest unemployment figures in all of Europe.

Dear Dr. De La Flor

Coaching corner

Dear Dr. De La Flor,

A few weeks ago, my favourite coach went to heaven at 99 years of age.

I’d like to share with you a precious pearl he left for his players, … and for you and for me; “you can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.”

How can gout attacks be prevented?

Sincerely, Mary

Dear Mary, Gout is a kind of arthritis.

It can cause an attack of sudden bur ning pain, stiffness, and swelling in a joint, usually a big toe. Due to an excessive amount of uric acid in the blood, these attacks can happen over and over unless gout is properly approached.

Prevention involves lifestyle changes and sometimes medicines. Your chances of developing gout depend on a myriad of factors: family histor y, being over weight, having high blood pressure or diabetes…

Nutritional factors can play a major role. Historically, gout was associated with royalty, nobility and wealth. Only they were able to regularly enjoy such products as game meat, seafood and wine.

They should be eaten in moderation as well as other foods rich in purines: anchovies, cr ustaceans, sardines, marmite, organ meats. Be especially careful with beer. Less known triggers of gout are ver y low-calorie diets; water pills (diuretics); regular use of aspirin; dehydration; acute illness or infection.

To prevent recurrent attacks you might need medicine that reduces uric acid levels in the blood. Uricosuric agents

How badly you want to get better will make the biggest difference

increase elimination of uric acid by the kidneys. Drugs such as allopurinol decrease production of uric acid by the body. Talk with your GP about a personalised plan for you that will include reasonable changes to your lifestyle, nutritional changes and perhaps some medication.

Dear Dr. De La Flor, I moved to the island a few moths ago. It’s been difficult to adjust and I now find myself taking several tablets. Your opinion?

Cheers, Sam

Dear Sam, No job or even a new job, settling into a new home

(or even tougher … a new country!), getting married, financial difficulties, an illness — any number of ‘life changes’ can cause stress. I prefer to call them ‘life challenges’ instead of problems.

An adjustment disorder is a type of stress-related mental illness. You may feel anxious or depressed, or even have thoughts of suicide.

You may not be able to go about some of your daily routines, such as work or seeing friends. Or you may make reckless decisions.

In essence, you have a hard time adjusting to change in your life.

You don’t have to tough it out on your own, though.

Most adults get better within just a few months. As with other mental disorders, the cause is complex and may involve a mixture of genetics, life experiences, your temperament and even changes in the natural chemicals in the brain.

There are two main types

of treatment, psychotherapy/ coaching and medications.

Therapy should provide emotional support and help you get back to your normal routine.

It can also help you learn why the stressful event af fected you so much. As you understand more about this connection, you can also learn healthy coping skills.

These skills can help you with other stressful events that may arise in your life. In some cases, medications may help, too. Antidepressants and antianxiety medications are the most often used. Your attitude is essential, how badly you want to ‘get better’ will make the biggest difference.

Success in a treatment often stems from identifying an internal need or deficiency that motivates you, helping you set realistic goals, and connecting them with an activity that fulfils those needs.

Part of your treatment, with the help of your doctor, is to

For the next two weeks, let’s try to relish a few minutes every morning thinking of “a couple of very specific actions” that we can do for someone.

All personal breakthroughs begin with a change in beliefs and/or attitude. Focusing on someone in need, allows us to fly higher because one of the paradoxes of life is that we find the best in ourselves when we forget about ourselves.

Dr. De La Flor, licensed G.P. Holds certificates in coaching, nutrition and medical exercise from Berkeley University and the American Council on Exercise. His medical approach is highly influenced by Positive Psychology; an empowering, encompassing way of approaching patients through the study of their strengths and virtues to enable them to thrive and lead fulfilling lives, accept the past, find happiness in the present, and hope for the future.

t is a typical scenario.

A newbie comes to a gym with some personal goals. He gets a training plan from one of the trainers in that gym and everything he is told seems to make sense.

Two days later the same newbie enters the gym motivated and starts to train.

After waiting 10 minutes for each machine he begins to ask himself why everybody is using the same equipment.

There are big people hoping to lose weight, skinny people working to increase mass and athletic people exercising to

increase power. Almost all of them are doing the same exercises. Our newbie starts to become curious and looks at what the ‘big guys’ are doing in the free weight area. Maybe our newbie even checks online about training programs or buys some books.

On his next training day he confronts his trainer with his new ideas. The coach might try and fob him off with some nice coloured certificates and show his ‘worth’ by doing 15 bench presses on a gymball…

Do not get me wrong.

One single weekend. I have even seen somebody selling licences on eBay. Let’s say you did not buy your licence. You really studied. This licence delivers you just the basic knowledge.

But afterwards you really need to start studying and do further training constantly. As well as this you need to have training experience. If as a coach you look like you never work out, you are doing something wrong. A trainer is a product.

A trainer sells health and fitness. If he looks unfit, look for somebody else.

Do not be scared to ask more than once if you are unsure.

Do look for a second opinion if you want to, especially when you have concerns about the given training plan. Sometimes it is better to try different gyms/ trainers until you find one you trust. An easy way to find out if you are using the right gym would be to ask yourself, “did I reach my goals in the last three months and if not, am I on the right course?” If the answer is yes, great, you just found a good gym.

Magazine competition winner Dear Editor

W

e would like to thank you for the tickets to the Alejandro Sanz concert. We had a great night and what a well organised event! No car parking problems, no problem to take a bottle of water inside, nothing ‘confiscated’.

The sound and lighting are the best we have ever seen in a concert here. Very well organised, easy to get into the concert and leave.

Alejandro was fantastic, a lovely long concer t and he connected well with the audience. His new songs are probably better known to the

non Spanish part of the audience but the ones of us who have lived here forever really enjoyed the older songs. Lovely atmosphere and Alejandro looked good with a Canarian scarf around his neck...nice touch, also saying he had brought his daughter with him to “this paradise which is Tenerife”.

I do hope they continue to organise concerts and it was nice to see a mixture of all nationalities. I am glad you also, as a magazine, support Spanish artists. Maybe it would be good to do an article to show people how much artists like Alejandro, Shakira, Miguel Bosé and Juanés do for children’s charities (Pies descalzos etc.)

I live in Adeje and love to promote our village to tourists, New Year’s Eve, and our local fiesta, which is coming up soon, are all a way of having a good time without having to spend a fortune. Thank you for a great night out.

Regards Cherry Lopez & Karen Bennett

Nuisance noise Dear Editor

I

was ver y interested to read the letters regarding noise and nuisance from bars and clubs in Adeje.

How many times has it been reported that the Adeje council is promoting “quality tourism”?

This sounds fine but, by ignoring the excessive noise from bars and clubs in their area,their intention is the complete opposite. What happened to the regulation where all music, live or otherwise, had to move to a enclosed soundproofed area at midnight? As a resident I don’t object to a variety of entertainment to suit all tastes but I do object to the authorities turning a blind eye and allowing the regulations to be ignored.

They should remember that the rules are there to help everyone live in harmony. At some bars and the clubs in the vicinity of

Puerto Colon and the adjoining beach appear to have a free hand to make as much noise as they like despite noise regulations.

Wake up Adeje and show you are in control by helping all visitors and residents in your area to enjoy Costa Adeje.

Also, opportunities at work, in business or out socially, will facilitate the progress you need.  Snake (1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001) Whether you’re writing a book, getting married, seeking a new job or launching your latest venture, the Celestial energies will not only support your efforts but fill you with innovative ideas.  Horse (1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002) Insignificant problems will arise until you have to take notice of them. Work, business and study will be most affected. Monitor your mind and ensure you don’t overreact or become hyper-stressed.  Sheep (1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 You might meet your soul mate or someone special right now. There’s fun to be had, at home and out and about. All this means that you’re likely to overspend and overindulge, so stay prudent.

 Monkey (1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004) Be wary how many social obligations you agree to, or you’ll find that your special people will begin to feel neglected. Relationships only flourish if they’re nurtured, and given time.  Rooster (1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005) You’ll be able to solve problems and will experience a new intellectual clarity. Fresh ideas will enliven your work environment. Allow inspirations to flow and you’ll get the support you need.  Dog (1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006) If you tackle hassles devotedly you’ll be victorious, but don’t expect support or assistance. Dogs in love partnerships will have to make concessions if they wish the relationship to continue.  Pig (1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007) Put your concentration on household duties, relationships and spiritual development. Even Pigs who’ve been experiencing love or child raising traumas will feel that peace has returned.

he sets for the up and coming version of Madame Butterfly to be staged in the Santa Cruz Auditorio are now complete, and have been installed in the Sala Sinfónica in the concert hall.

The scenes and sets for the new production were realised in partnership with the Bonnano Escenarios company, and under the artistic direction of Daniel Bianco from Bilbao’s Teatro Arriaga. This is the second production of this nature undertaken by the Auditorio, the first being the successful production of Poulenc’s La voix humaine last year, and represents another step forward in the Auditorio’s development as an independent producer of stage works of this magnitude. It has also opened up the possibility of transferring such works to other theatres, signifying a new departure economically and culturally for many of those companies working in conjunction with the theatrical world in the production field.

Puccini actually wrote five versions of the now world-famous opera, the fifth commonly accepted as the ‘standard’ version. The tale revolves around the doomed love between Madame Butterfly and the US Naval officer Pinkerton. First performed in 1904 it is, today, the most performed opera in the United States and a must in any company’s repertoire. It will be performed in the Auditorio from October 21st to 23rd as part of the Tenerife Opera Festival.

n a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief, Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), is given a final chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job to date, Inception.

He is the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime.

But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

In Inception, your mind is the scene of the crime.

The pros and cons of using cannabis have been debated over many years.

While one study may indicate the benefits to sufferers of long term pain-related illnesses, others argue that any form of drug is a potential gateway to more harmful substances and must never be encouraged.

On September 24th and 25th the Café Siete in La Laguna is hosting a series of Cannabis talk shops, with contributions from some of the island’s growers, Shaman, LocaMaría y Mr. Fantasy.

Themes will include the cultivation of the crop, therapeutic uses, legal questions, the use of drugs socially and dangers and benefits of consumption.

Hands On Solar water heating Part 2

I

f you do decide to install a solar panel for your hot water, how do you select one? There are now several to choose from, available in larger ferreterias and a well-known DIY store, as well as a few specialists.

Some are in the yellow pages (paginas amarillas). First check what size panel and tank you need (see table). Do not underestimate the size you need or you will be disappointed Number of people Size of panel (M2) in household

1 to 3 4 to 5 Up to 8

Volume of hot water tank (litres)

2 2 3

150 200 300

There are two main types of panel, flat plate and evacuated tube. Flat plate panels are cheaper and are very effective for almost everywhere in Tenerife.

Choose this type unless you live somewhere that is cloudy most of the time.

There are two ways of getting hot water from your panel. The direct system sends hot water from the panel direct to your hot taps. This system is likely to break down after only two or three years as mineral deposits block the small pipes in the panel. Choose the indirect system, which costs a bit more, but will last ten times longer. This system circulates a fluid through a heat exchanger. The fluid is water. Don’t let them sell you highly expensive heat exchanger fluid, it’s only anti-freeze and we don’t need it here!

Make sure that the system comes complete with an installation kit to connect the panel to the storage tank.

The kit should also include safety devices, expansion vessel, pressure release valve and pressure reducing valve. You will also need a stand. These should all be included in the price.

Finally, don’t let the huge size of these systems put you off. You can still get it on your roof. You can hire a crane (grua) for as little as €50 which will get it safely in place for you.

Useful vocabulary Hot water / agua caliente Solar panel Collector/ Soporte captador solar Stand / Soporte Thermosyphon / Termosifon Water tank / Acumulador Pressure release valve / Válvula de seguridad solar If you have any questions on solar hot water systems or any other DIY topic you can call Robert on 922 814073, mobile 605 469352 or email rjmcalees@yahoo.com.

k, so it wasn’t 200 miles through Canadian wilderness, but those of us who remember the original 1960s film, will still be impressed by Kalle’s 10 kilometre journey crossing a motorway and some very busy roads.

Kalle and his friends are strays that were neutered by K9 and lived within the Laguna Park 2 holiday complex at Torviscas. Each year, Rauni, a cat loving Finnish lady who spends her holiday at Laguna Park 2, informs K9 of any concerns. In 2009 she re-homed one of the stray cats, taking him back to Finland with her.

At the end of her planned holiday here in March this year, Rauni had previously decided she was taking Kalle home with her. However, she saw that he had a problem with one of his ears, so Hazel from K9 went along and took Kalle to the vet who prescribed antibiotics. He was returned to Rauni who cared for him until she returned home on 13th March, but as the cat was still not fit to travel, he went into the K9 cattery to continue his treatment.

Kalle completed his treatment but whilst he was waiting for his travel documents, he managed to escape from the cattery on 2nd April. He’s been at the cattery for three weeks and it was assumed he would return when hungry but he didn´t. Rauni was given the bad news and was, understandably, quite upset.

Hazel returned to the Laguna Park complex after a couple of weeks but there were no reported sightings of him.

Rauni came over again on holiday in June 2010 and went looking for Kalle. On her second search within the complex she found him; he appeared okay but had lost weight.

Incredibly, he had managed to travel the 10 kilometre journey from the K9 kennels at San Miguel to his home at Laguna Park 2, without coming to any physical harm. He was checked over and found to be none the worse for his ordeal.

Some holiday makers and staff at Laguna Park 2 continue to feed him and he has now gained weight.

The happy ending to this story is that Kalle is to be allowed to spend his remaining years at Laguna Park 2 which is obvi-

With gastronomic tourism increasing in importance every year, part of the Gastronomy Plan is to improve the level of abilities in all areas of food preparation and serving so that the client gets an enhanced gastronomic experience.

Seasonal food

Preserving tuna

F

resh bonito, similar to tuna, is selling at under €3 per kilo at the moment if you buy a whole fish.

1.Ask the fishmonger to clean it into ‘lomos’ for you, thick chunky fillets. A whole fish is too much for anyone at one sitting unless you have a very large family, but the fish freezes well.

2. Once home cut it into chunks and soak in cold water for 10 minutes or so to leach some of the blood out.

Otherwise it can have a very strong flavour.

3. Once cleaned, pat dry with a clean tea towel and pack the fish for later into plastic containers.

Alternatively line the bottom of a heavy pan with bay leaves, cover with a measured amount of water and another layer of bay leaves.

4. Add 85-95g of salt per litre of water and steam or simmer until cooked (20-30 minutes depending on thickness of lomos). Leave in the pan to cool, then remove skin and check for bones.

5. Pack tightly into wide necked sterilised glass jars, cover with a good quality olive oil and close lids well.

Place in a pan wrapped around but not covered with tea towels and fill the pan with water up to just under the rims of jars.

6. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes depending on the size of the jars, until the oil is hot.

Remove from the heat and close the jars all the way, leaving them to cool down in the water. Preserved thus the fish should keep for up to a year.

7. Don’t forget you can use the oil later to dress a salad or for frying in any fish based dish.

Teide Honey Tour

Bee-n there

Up to forty people recently took part in a Cabildo organised Honey Tour to the Parque Nacional del Teide.

U

nder the title, “a bee’s eye view of Teide” the tour was organised in association with the Teide National Park and Tenerife’s Casa de la Miel in El Sauzal. The Islands’ agricultural councillor José Joaquín Bethencourt explained that the tour showed participants “the intensive work the island’s bee keepers have been doing for centuries, which has resulted in local honey varieties that boast extraordinary quality - proof of which are the awards obtained at regional contests like the one the Casa de la Miel stages every year”.

L

a Mariposa offers freshly made meals with a difference and the restaurant itself has been transformed since Natalie, from Belgium, took it over this summer.

Natalie and her partner, Jean-Yves, have eclectic tastes and the enchanting décor is a superb mix of style, elegance and the innocent joy of life.

Add to that Natalie’s training within French cuisine and many years of experience and my companion and I were definitely looking forward to trying some of the tempting dishes.

The cheese boards, a selection of the best Spanish and French cheeses, looked very interesting, as did the quiches - particularly the delightfully named ‘Popeye’ with spinach, cream and goat’s cheese.

However, my friend and I both decided to try one of the Tartines, which have a toasted bread base with various toppings, for example the Cervantès with Brie cheese, Serrano ham and apple chutney.

I opted for the Renoir – Camembert cheese, fresh tomatoes and garlic (€5.30) - whilst my partner chose the Butterfly (€5.80) which was a taste sensation: cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs with cress and mango chutney. Both were delicious and surprisingly filling.

All of the dishes are prepared from the freshest of ingredients and are made to order, so no fast food here, but the wait

is certainly worth it as the food is excellent. Our meals were ser ved with a par ticularly nice salad garnish, and the presentation throughout was fabulous.

For dessert my companion was very happy with his choice of the Poire Belle Hélène (€4.50), a mouth-watering combination of pears, vanilla ice-cream, hot chocolate sauce and whipped cream. I chose the traditional Canarian Quesillo (€2.80) which was also very good.

To accompany our meal we selected the Artero Tinto red wine from La Mancha, Spain (€11 a bottle) which was rich and fruity.

There is a lunchtime menu available for €8.50, for which you can enjoy a Gourmet platter with two slices of quiche and a half tartine, with a drink and a dessert of quesillo and pumpkin tart. For children there is the Little Butterfly option. For €3.80 they can choose between quiche and tartine followed by ice cream or chocolate brownie. They can also enjoy colouring-in the butterfly drawings specially designed for their amusement.

And for the ‘pièce de resistance’, Natalie’s husband is well known as a talented pianist and he plays at the restaurant twice a week.

They are an endearing and enthusiastic couple and not only is the food of a high standard but the company is great

too, making La Mariposa Restaurant well worth a visit. Find them at the top of the stairs next to Verdes in the town centre.

It’s as easy as ABC. The initiative that came into effect last Spring, allows Liberty Seguros to continue to offer the highest level of service on the market. What’s more, this motor product adapts the price of the cover to the specific needs of each customer. A flexible rate is ap-

plied to each individual, and the premium is adapted according to the characteristics of the driver and the vehicle.

Without a doubt Liberty Seguros is certainly the company to consider when it comes to renewing your car insurance or taking out a policy for a new vehicle.

The Cochineal Harvest

Red letter day

The Cochineal is an insect which lives on the Opuntia or ‘prickly pear’, a type of cactus that is very widespread in the Canaries and has an edible fruit.

Great golf Prosegur

The recent Prosegur Golf Tournament was deemed an excellent success, with a large number of entrants taking to the greens.

Gregorio Gonzalez Hernandez was the winner in the 1st men’s category, Diego Espinosa Sanchez in won the 2nd men’s category and Marlene Bananier was the winner in the ladies’ section.

The natural red carmine extracted from the beetle was mainly used for dyeing fabrics, cosmetics and food colouring and it was a very common custom in the Canarian Archipelago until natural cochineal was slowly replaced by synthetic dyes. Cochineal was used by the British Army for their ‘red coats’ in the past. The Cochineal Harvest is a revival of an ethnographic tradition dating back to colonial times, a re-enactment of the chores of collecting and processing the cochineal by local people dressed in traditional clothing and using traditional farming tools.

T

he recently refurbished Hotel Jardín Tropical in Costa Adeje originally opened in late 1987 and since then has been known as one of the area’s most luxurious hotels.

Inside the hotel, which seems to be situated in a world of its own – a tropical paradise of plants and greenery – you would never realise that it is so close to the action and nightlife of Playa de las Américas.

In these fascinating natural surroundings there are 390 recently redesigned rooms and suites and two Presidential Suites with panoramic views from their balconies, as well as every facility you could wish for. First class stays with maximum comfort, so you can enjoy rest and, most of all, relaxation.

Both the Superior Rooms and the exclusive Suites are decorated with warm colours and natural materials, providing an elegant and comfortable atmosphere. All rooms offer views of the sea or the hotel’s luscious gardens so you can enjoy Tenerife’s spectacular light, the warmth of its sun and the refreshing Atlantic breeze.

The Superior rooms each have an average area of 32 square metres and are equipped with a mini bar, satellite TV, LCD screen, both TV and audio channels, an electronic safe and bathrobes. The Suites are elegant and exquisitely decorated with delicate materials, occupying 50 to 55 square metres. Additionally they have a separate lounge, sun loungers on the balcony and exclusive services are offered including a pillow menu and an aromatherapy set.

Subject to availability, a king size bed can be reserved.

The Junior Suites occupy an average 42 square metres and each have a king size bed plus sun loungers on their teak decorated balconies. High quality toiletries are included.

Occupying 70 square metres, the Presidential Suites offer the greatest luxury. Located in the penthouse, they have individual sundeck balconies where you can marvel at the best views in the whole hotel.

Golfing guests can take advantage of special offers at various courses, especially Abama which is also managed by RitzCarlton. The hotel’s Tropical Wellness and Spa is designed to pamper you. Shape up in the fitness area or relax your body and mind with a Turkish or algae bath, or next genera-

tion treatments such as lymphatic drainage, reflexology or hot stone massage. Their special summer offer until the end of October consists of Spa plus manicure and pedicure, Gentle exfoliating moisturising body massage with cherry and the Gold facial treatment, all for €99. Or try the green tea

body and facial treatment on special offer at €67.50.

Take advantage of the beautiful pools, and on extremely hot days, refresh yourself beneath the spectacular waterfall. Nearby is Los Cucuruchos, a delightful snack bar offering Mediterranean cuisine, and inside the hotel but with a

large airy terrace, is the tastefully decorated Las Mimosas Mediterranean buffet restaurant, open for breakfast and dinner. There is also Las Rocas, on the cliff, specialising in fish and seafood and Las Cuevas which is still under renovation but will open soon, specialising in rice and

fish. The hotel’s gourmet restaurant, which is also open to the public, is El Patio. El Patio hosts an annual event not to be missed, the Gourmet Culinary Experiences during which the restaurant’s own chef, Álvaro Garcés is joined by several other international Michelin star chefs who cre-

ate the most amazing menus for you to try. This year’s event will take place between December 4th and 8th with prices from €90 per person for eight courses.

The Café de Paris is a lounge offering live music every evening, and for business visitors, the hotel can offer a complete business centre with wifi area. There are four meeting rooms with a capacity for anything from small meetings to large events for 400 guests, all equipped with the most advanced multimedia equipment.

Whatever your reason for visiting the Hotel Jardín Tropical, you will not be disappointed. It has been renovated and launched into the 21st century in a tasteful manner while still preserving the hotel’s original character, unique Moorish style architecture and of course, first class service.

First Auris HSD arrives

T

The new

Ford Mondeo

Ford of Europe is launching the most stylish and technologically advanced Mondeo ever.

New Mondeo will see the first application of a higher performance 240PS derivative of the efficient new 2.0-litre lightweight aluminium Ford EcoBoost turbocharged petrol engine joining the existing 203PS version, introduced earlier in 2010. Average CO2 emissions of just 179 g/km are achieved by the 2.0-litre version, regardless of power rating or body style.

It also introduces a comprehensively revised version of the 2.2-litre Ford Duratorq TDCi diesel engine, which increases power by 12 per cent to 200PS, making it the most powerful Ford Duratorq diesel engine so far. This engine is joined by the significantly improved 2.0-litre Duratorq TDCi diesel available with 115, 140 or 163PS power ratings, all delivering average emissions of just 139g/ km with a six-speed manual transmission and regardless of body style. Existing 1.6- and 2.0-litre Ford Duratec petrol engines have also been retained, of-

fering 120 and 145PS outputs.

Both body styles, five door and wagon, have a fresh look. The kinetic design signatures are further emphasised while incorporating new technologies such as LED lighting.

Changes include bolder graphics and proportions at the front while its sleek side lines are emphasised by a new, full chrome window surround for higher series models, and larger, re-designed LED tail lamps.

Meticulous attention to detail and the use of premium materials have led to a higher quality, sophisticated interior. The re-designed centre console flows more elegantly, while the door panels feature a new ‘toproll’ and flush, integrated, door handles. Further enhancements include a new central overhead console featuring LED ambient lighting and a woven headliner, all complemented by classy inlay foils and new ‘jewel’ detailing on switches and vents in satin chrome.

The purchaser, Sergio Escobar Hernández has been waiting since February for his Auris HSD, the first to be registered in the Canaries. This vehicle joins 2.7 million Toyota hybrids sold since August 1997.

Meanwhile, Sol Meliá has now finalised the installation at the Gran Meliá Palacio de Isora hotel in Alcalá of the first intelligent recharging points for electric cars.

The company N2S has been responsible for the installation of its Power2Drive system in the hotel car park. This intelligent system can identify the vehicle, authorise the recharge and advise the user via email or sms when the charge is complete. More information about the Power2Drive system can be found at www.n2s.es.

rom September 1st, the minimum age at which a driving licence in class AM (motorcycles up to 50cc) can be granted was raised from 14 to 15 years.

This measure has been opposed not only by manufacturers who fear a significant drop in sales, but also by some political groups. However, the Dirección General de Trafico considers that this measure may serve to reduce the high numbers of deaths and serious injuries suffered in accidents by riders of motorbikes and low capacity motorcycles.

Boxing

By George Reed

Scandals in Boxing – now Cricket

T

he cricketing scandal has rocked what used to be called the Gentleman’s Sport to its very foundations.

However in the past, few sports had been able to escape scandal and boxing appears to have suffered more than most. From the early part of the twentieth century through to the late 1950s professional boxing was a racket, when as a whole it was ruled by gangsters and politicians who had their headquarters in Tammany Hall in New York.

They told the police what to do and how to do it. They made the odds, brought about the fixes and collected their bets. During the ‘roaring’ 1920s and the early 1930s, the ‘mob’ used to keep the fighters in line.

Possibly the biggest scandal in boxing history involved the Italian heavyweight Primo Carnera who was something of a freak in those days as he was six feet seven inches tall and weighed in the region of twenty stone. As a boxer he should have been forgotten as an awkward and clumsy clown, but a shrewd little manager named Leon See took the giant Italian to America to start one of the most amazing careers in the history of the fight game. Six of the shadiest characters in boxing took over his management so his earnings were being cut more ways than an apple pie in a Blackpool boarding house. Bouts were fixed, and his management made sure Carnera couldn’t lose by making arrangements before his fights, sometimes through persuasion, often enough by means of threats and a show of force. Carnera was never aware that he was meeting ‘diving specialists’, though his fans did and there were often yells of “Fake!” after his fights. Due to his mobster management, he even got a crack at the world heavyweight title but to everyone’s surprise, the ponderous, clumsy giant somehow found the power to out-punch the clever champion Jack Sharkey for the coveted crown. However, that power was never seen again and shortly after Carnera was slaughtered in the ring by the playboy Max Baer who knocked Carnera to the canvas eleven times before the brave giant decided he had had enough and retired.

He found that not even a cent belonged to him, even though he had earned a million dollars in the ring, for over the years his managers had completely cleaned him out.

During the following decade, the 1940s, I recall ring legends Jake La Motta and Rocky Graziano being suspended, not for taking a ‘dive’, but for allegedly failing to report a bribe to throw a fight. Then in 1965 another scandal was to hit boxing when the former heavyweight champion Sonny Liston, who had lost his title to the young Cassius Clay, had their return fight. The crowd went berserk, screaming “Fix, Fix!” as Liston hit the canvas and was counted out after going down from what many called later ‘a phantom punch’. Liston’s connections with a long line of mob characters caused rumours that the fight had been fixed to secure betting coups, and that Liston had been told by gangsters that he would be shot if he didn’t ‘play ball’.

How the wheels have turned since those days, for I believe any corruption in boxing is mild compared to cricket, football and horse racing these days.

Young shoulders Las Palmas

Second division side UD Las Palmas are hoping that the young players promoted this year from the reserves will not let the club down on the pitch as much as some of them did off it in the pre-season.

Manager Paco Jémez has opted not to bring in big names to replace the stars released in the summer and is keeping his fingers crossed that the youngsters who have come through the club’s The new look young side nursery will adapt to the division quickly and help avoid the need for urgent signings in the December transfer window.

Three of the players got off to a bad start, however, during a late August tournament in Lanzarote. Viera, Vitolo and Tyronne were disciplined by the club after turning up at the team hotel drunk at 8am following an all-night clubbing session. The incident was dealt with swiftly and the tension had cleared by the time the young side took on Tarragona in the first game of the season, winning 3-2.

First division overtures Tenerife chairman Felipe Concepción revealed recently that two of the club’s players received offers from top flight clubs on the eve of the season opener against Girona, which Tenerife lost 4-2.

Crowd favourite Nino was the subject of an approach from newly-promoted Hercules of Alicante but interest waned when Concepción insisted on a six million euro price tag. “Nino

would find it hard to improve on what he has here salary-wise and he loves Tenerife anyway, where he is our flagship player” said the chairman.

The second player was 28-year-old full back Marc Bertrán, who attracted interest from Osasuna. Again the transfer fee proved an obstacle, with the first division club offering just €800,000. “Both players are happy to stay at Tenerife and are as excited about our prospects as I am” added Concepción, who is believed to have agreed a substantial bonus with the squad if they return to the top flight this year.

Touching glory World Cup

According to the Tenerife Cabildo over 20,000 people made the trip to Santa Cruz to hoist high football’s World Cup.

The golden trophy was in Santa Cruz on the first leg of a nationwide tour following the Spanish team’s victory in the tournament in South Africa earlier this year. It was on show on the last weekend of July in the Tenerife capital when all members of the public were welcome to see and touch the much-coveted Cup. According to Dámaso Arteage, sporting councillor for the island, “it was a huge success and I would like to thank everyone who came to see the trophy for their excellent behaviour…” He also thanked the Cabildo and the security services who had guarded the Cup during its stay on the Island.

Fernando Alonso still believes he is in with a chance of winning the Formula 1 championship despite being written off by virtually every pundit.

Alonso failed to pick up a single point in Belgium after spinning off the track when he was making a late bid for sixth. However, he reckons his Ferrari is good enough to earn podium finishes in the remaining races. “Other

EDITION 625 :: 10/09/2010 - 24/09/2010 :: ISLAND CONNECTIONS

Soccer Experience Sponsored by : Island Connections Media Group & www.windowsplus.co.uk

Over 35s champions: After two long seasons of waiting Shaine and his L.A. Veterans team finally have their hands on the Soccer Experience over 35s title and with an undefeated season they have done so in style.

This past season has seen L.A. Vets in fine form. There has been some wonderful slow motion football played throughout the entire season and this team have showed how to consistently work well as a whole unit. It’s hard to pick one player from this squad to mention as there have been so many terrific performances all season, yet in front of goal Paul Connelly has been unstoppable this season and all the players in the Soccer Experience o/35s have really seen the best of him. Other performances worthy of mention include defender Scott Beasley’s goal scoring and big Lacey, despite his constant battles with Roger the ref, also had an excellent season.

The fiery Scotsman Sammy, in defence, has also been a major part of this season’s success. Another ever present and in terrific form is GK big Meatloaf, a huge voice in this side, and pulling this team together each week is Captain Shaine Hope who himself has had his best season thus far!!

Now L.A. Veterans have shown the rest of the pack what they are capable of, what can we expect for the new season? Ironcraft look to have strengthened their squad and will be making a real challenge.

Also Morfitt Rentals will surely

LA Veterans, the Over 35s Champs

be up there and with sides like the Pub Torviscas who seem to improve with each season and a new look Taboos side, the league even has its very own Derby this season with work mates and friends Cana Bar and Connection 6 looking forward to a battle for months of bragging rights! All-in-all the new up and coming season looks to be just as exciting as the last with every team now looking to be the first to beat champions L.A. Veterans!

Championship Summary: Lee Morfitt and the Pueblo Torviscas team continue to lead the way in the Championship league this week beating second place Zurich Spartans who themselves are having a terrific season but could not continue that form against the league leaders and a formidable referee, twice going down to six men due to disputing the ref’s decisions.

Linekers FC continue to upset the pacesetters, defeating Tenerife Solicitors and putting a dent in their title challenge.

Mike’s Pepsi FC side bounced back from defeat with a win over I.C. Media who seem to be growing stronger as the season progresses and captain John Summers is sure the fortunes for his side will turn soon though Pepsi FC move up into second position and will look to put pressure on the leaders knowing one slip up will put their rivals back on top.

Masters league Summary: With a new season just underway there is all to play for as no team wants to start the beginning of a season with defeat. Hole in the Wall have started with a bang winning their opening two games in some style against tough op-

position Harleys and new boys the Spartans as they strive to get the form that saw them take the title two seasons back.

Reigning champs Taylor’s Masters Lounge have once again started well with back to back victories but worryingly they still haven’t quite hit the form of last season yet.

The big surprise in the opening weeks was a Spanish Style defeat at the hands of a now very strong Morfitt Properties team and a Rovers’ loss to the Spartans who will surely be a team to watch out for this season, but with so many of the teams having played just one game, this season is yet to really get going as one or two back-to-back wins change everything. All is to play for at this early stage and the question is how long can Taylor’s Masters Lounge keep this undefeated run going?

There is a consistent demand for Soccer Experience adult and children’s sessions or games on Saturdays as not everyone can come to the weekday evening sessions!

Thankfully they can now provide Saturday options for both kids and adult games between 10.30am and 2.30pm.

Soccer Experience will be at the Las Torres facility in Adeje, throughout the Autumn every Saturday starting 11am with the first hour being for the 5 to 8 year olds and the second hour for the 9 years +. If your kids live here or are on holiday and would like to join us please contact us to reserve a space!

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 625 :: 10/09/2010 - 24/09/2010

The blanquiazules returned to Girona in Catalonia where they had claimed their magical promotion 15 months before.

This time though the circumstances were rather different as CD Tenerife played their first game back in the second division after rubbing shoulders with Spain’s elite in La Liga last season.

After enjoying a fairly positive pre-season and being presented as one of the favourites to gain promotion Tenerife were expected to pick up all three points on their trip to Girona. The match did not quite follow the script for the blanquiazules and they were soon behind as Jandro netted for the home side from the penalty spot. Despite the 32 degree heat the game was lively and Tenerife started to dictate the play. On the 35 minute mark Nino unleashed a speculative drive towards the goal from outside the box and after catching a slight deflection the ball nestled in the bottom corner of the net.

Just when it seemed that both teams would head in for the break at even-stevens a non-descript counter break

by Girona culminated in the Catalan team taking a 2-1 lead. It was a frustrating goal to give away. This Tenerife defence needs working on and quickly!

The second half erupted with a Tenerife equaliser as a shot by JuanLu Hens was diverted into the goal by a Girona defender. At 2-2 and with Tenerife producing wave after wave of attack there appeared to be only one winner on the pitch but excellent chances were spurned. With 15 minutes remaining a Girona corner found a practically unmarked Kiko Ratón at the near post and his bullet header roared into the net. Kiko did not celebrate the goal as he originates from Puerto de La Cruz in the north of Tenerife and played for CD Tenerife several years ago. A nice touch by the gentle giant but he never scored goals for us like that!

This crazy game still promised more goals but unfortunately straight from the kick off new blanquiazul centre half Melli made a hash of a backpass and Peragón pounced to make the score 4:2 to the home side. There was no way back from this and although Tenerife deserved more from their visit to Girona, conceding four goals was a shocking start to the season for the new look defence.

5/09/10 CD Tenerife 1:2 Salamanca It had been a long hot summer waiting for the first home game of the season to kick off.

The distractions of the World Cup, even though great, could not compete with the real thing for most Tenerife supporters and despite the poor result at Girona the week before fans flocked to the Heliodoro Stadium in Santa Cruz.

It had been a slight mystery as to how many season tickets would be sold due to the drop in category but the figure of 13,000 ‘abonos’ sold prior to kick off was a pleasant surprise to many. This figure could rise further in coming weeks as new fans are now allowed to purchase a season ticket. The crowd of 16,442 was by far the biggest crowd in Spain at the weekend (there were no Primera matches played).

The change in playing style will take some getting used to as with ex-manager Oltra the game appeared to flow more smoothly than it has so far this season. New manager Arconada has already gained his critics with his zonal marking system that the players do not seem to understand.

In fact to be brutally honest this new Tenerife side are a pale reflection of the team that has excited crowds with some great football over the past few seasons. But it is early

days and the criticisms will not help anyone at this stage of the proceedings.

The match started at a steady pace but neither side could create any clear cut chances in the sultry stadium atmosphere. You could sense that the Tenerife players felt the weight of expectation on their shoulders in front of their home support.

Their attitude could not be questioned but anarchy prevailed on the pitch as the team were lacking ideas. The breakthrough came on 35 minutes as Hidalgo placed a ball through to Nino and his shot was parried into the path of Natalio who scored with ease.

During the typical half time debate most agreed that the blanquiazules needed another goal to make sure of a win. However Salamanca were awarded a free-kick early on in the second half near the edge of the box (this is like conceding a penalty for Tenerife), and it was of little surprise when a headed goal was scored against Tenerife, Moratón equalising for the away side.

The match plodded on without either side grabbing it by the horns until with 20 minutes remaining centre half David Prieto received his marching orders and Tenerife were reduced to 10 men. This changed the dynamic of the match. The closing hostilities produced more action than the previous 75 minutes as both teams had good chances to win the game. In the last ten minutes Tenerife pounded the Salamanca goal looking for a win with Julio Alvarez and Omar inches away from

scoring. The visitors counter attacked on the break and after one great save from Aragoneses they scored the winning goal as Kike López prodded home a rebound off the post in the very last minute. There was no time for a reaction from the 10-man Tenerife side and the stunned home fans marched out of the stadium at the end of the match disheartened by the afternoon’s events.

The defeat created plenty of post match debate and the new manager Arconada will have a lot of work to do to in the coming weeks if he is to keep his job. It is not specifically the fact that Tenerife have lost their first two league matches (and one cup mauling away at Elche 4:1) it is the manner of the losses. We do have a quality squad of players this season, a loyal following and plenty of goalscoring
