Another General Strike Announced TENERIFE’S LOCAL FREE WEEKLY NEWSPAPER

Spain´s largest trade union, The Confederación Sindical de Comisiones Obrera (CCOO) and the Unión General de Trabajadores (UGT), have unanimously approved the call for a general strike in Spain. The date of the protest (against labour reforms) has been set, according to sources of both unions, as Thursday 29th March. The date chosen coincides with the general strike called by nationalist unions in the Basque country and Navarra against the labour reforms and it is also the day prior to the submission of the State Budget for 2012. The general secretaries of the CCOO and UGT, Ignacio Fernández Toxo and Cándido Méndez, appeared in a press conference at 13:15 on Thursday (15th March) to report the reasons that led them to decide to strike. Unions consider the labour reforms approved by the Partido Popular (PP) government unilaterally as “the most regressive” for the rights of workers and since its launch have been carrying out demonstrations, rallies and other protests in the streets of Spain. Although calling a general strike at any time was dismissed, the intention has always been to stop the reform before having to make the decision. This will be the sixth 24-hour general strike in the history of Spain and the second which is called under a PP government. The first three strikes in Spain took place during the government of Felipe González. The first and second occurred in 1988 and the third in 1994.

Editorial Hello again, readers. Welcome to our new 56-page “phatter“ edition of The Tenerife Weekly. We’ve expanded the TV pull-out section to a whopping 20 pages! I’d also like to introduce our newest columnist, John Sharples. He’ll be giving you his unique views on everything Tenerfeño with just a dash of vinegar! On to the news. So, we have yet another general strike looming over the horizon (front page.) Although it brings bile to my throat, I have to say that Maggie Thatcher new how to deal with the unions. I remember the rolling blackouts of the late 70s /early 80s in the UK: unions complaining about short working weeks, etc. At the time it was a necessary evil, as is the situation in Spain at the moment. Here, in Spain, we are lagging seriously behind some of our bigger brothers in the EU and the government needs to tighten its belt in many areas. It’s unfortunate that worker reforms are to be targeted, but, as everyone knows; it’s always the people on the ground who feel the pinch first. Are you taking part in the Las Galletas Marathon this year (page 5)? My smoking, drinking (in moderation) and sedentary lifestyle preclude me from

taking part, but I’ll be there to cheer all you brave souls on. The event is held on April Fools’ Day. Prophetic. To all you sponsored runners out there: let us know how much you manage to raise and for which charities. We’ll give you a roll of honour in our pages. Send details to info@tenerifeweekly.es. Two out of three neighbours in Spain have strained relationships (page 16.) This subject is close to my heart, well home: one of my neighbours is having problems with another neighbour’s dog. Constant barking, day and night, etc. When people who wouldn’t normally socialise together get thrust into a situation where they live shoulder to shoulder, there’s going to be problems. That’s human nature. The Cirque du Soleil is visiting our fair island, albeit not until next year. According to my collegue, Steve, this is an event that you don’t want to miss. He saw the act in Las Vagas (the one in the US, not Granadilla!) In his words it was, “The most amazing show I’ve ever seen!” Praise indeed. Personally, I’ve never seen it, but I’m always willing to broaden my horizons, so I’m going to give it a go. Until next week, happy reading!

Colin Taylor.

Tenerife Sur Lions Primal Fathers’ Raising the Standard Day Lessons

enerife Sur Lions are raising the standard for the “quality of presentation” of merchandise in their Charity shops. Already frequently referred to as the “Little Harrods” of charity shops by many their customers, they are seeking to improve upon the current standing. The Lions are acutely aware of the generosity of those who donate to them and equally they are also aware of the need to reflect that generosity in the way those donations are presented in their shops. In order to do this they have a team of dedicated volunteers who prepare the goods for sale in the shops. Clothing for example is sorted into men’s, women’s or children’s wear, relaundered when needed, steamed or ironed if required before being individually priced and sized and hung on dress rails to display them at their best t the Cristianos shop books are now sorted into alphabetical order by author and displayed on shelves in an area aptly named “the book shop”. Other areas are being reviewed for improvements so as to continue to raise the standard the Lions present and enhance their ethos “We Serve”. The shops rely entirely

on the donations they receive to be able to continue their work in supporting and helping people in the local community and further afield. Locally the Tenerife Sur Lions have provided assistance to orphanages, provided holidays for disadvantaged and physically challenged children, and supported health awareness and community projects. They have also, through the Lions International Organisation participated in the “Recycle for Sight” project and supported many others. Giving to the shops could not be easier, simply take whatever items you nolonger need or want to either of the two shops during their opening hours where someone will be happy to receive them and take the opportunity to thank you personally. The Costa Silencio shop is open daily from 11.00 am to 2.00 pm except Saturdays & Sundays and is situated below the Las Gaviotas building (across the road from Coral Mar square) at the end of the car park. The Los Cristianos shop is

open daily from 11.00 am to 3.00 pm except Sundays and is situated on the 1st floor (bus station end) of the Apolo Centre with a convenient lift directly behind the stairway that opens by the shop. lternatively you can take items to one of their drop-off points which are situated at the following locations.

Continued from page 1 In 2002, under the government of José María Aznar, CC.OO. and UGT led a general strike called to protest the measures to reform the unemployment protection and Basic Employment Law. The four th strike in a socialist government was held on September 29, 2010, under the watch of José Luis Rodríguez Zapa-

tero. In addition to these strikes, in 1978 and 1992 there were two general strikes of an hour and half per day. In 1978 the unions took to the streets motivated by a European call, while in 1992 it was due to the cuts in unemployment benefits proposed by Felipe González which caused the strike.

Spain, and indeed the Canary Islands, differs from most of the world in when they celebrate Fathers’ Day. In the UK (and most of the world) it’s celebrated on the 3rd Sunday in June, but here in the Canaries we observe the day on 19th March. The team at Jungle Park, Arona, are promoting Fathers’ Day with a very special primate – Tinerfe, the white-handed gibbon who lives at the attraction. White-handed gibbons live in a monogamous relationship with their partner and stay together for life. Unfortunately, Tinerfe’s partner died in 2001, eight months after giving birth, leaving Tinerfe to gring up his

baby daughter singlehandedly. 11 years later and they are still a strong family unit. Jungle Park prides itself on the conditions in which it keeps its residents, with a commitment to giving the animals as close a natural habitat as is possible.

4 Grenade Found on Adeje Beach Tenerife Weekly - 16th March - 22nd March 2012 local news

Bathers on Troya beach, were surprised on Wednesday (14th March) by the chance find of a grenade in the sea. The police were alerted and responded with an emergency callout to the area, the oldest beach in Costa Adeje. The Underwater Civil Guard (GEAS) managed to remove the device and take it away for analysis. The coastal area was cordoned off while the operation was in progress. The drama occurred at about six o’clock in the afternoon. No one was harmed during the operation. The findings will be analysed by experts to determine their origin and other data.

Ever thought of working for the EU?

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is encouraging British nationals to consider a career working in the European Union. Working for the EU institutions can be one of the most satisfying and rewarding careers in Europe. This is not a single career. It is a lifetime of different, challenging and rewarding jobs. There are a wide variety of roles available to you as an EU civil servant: one year you could be drafting EU policy; the next you could be working on free trade agreements with emerging economies. The UK is currently under-represented in

the EU institutions; we represent 12% of the EU population yet only 4.8% of staff working for the institutions are British. The UK needs to be equally represented in the institutions so that British culture, attitudes, laws and ways of thinking are considered throughout the organisation. Foreign Secretary, William Hague said: “The EU plays a very important part in the lives of the people of the United Kingdom, and in the fortunes of the UK in the world. The EU needs talented individuals to work in its institutions, to make the right decisions, to work efficiently and effectively. It would be a good thing for Britain for people who know this country, who understand this coun-

Consumer Price Index For Alcohol and Tobacco Increases by 0.3%

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.3 per cent in February in the Canary Islands, two points more than average, driven by the rise in alcohol and tobacco prices, which is more expensive by 4.4 per cent than January, nine times more than in the rest of Spain (0.5%). In the data, released on Wednesday (14th March) by the National Statistics Institute (INE), the autonomous regions of the Canaries showed they have the highest cost of living in Spain, but remain the second lowest in inflation, with a rate 1.5 per cent, only just behind the Balearics (1.4%). Besides alcohol and tobacco, last month saw raised prices in the archipelago in transport (0.8%), leisure and culture (0.5%), hospitality and food (0.3%

in both cases), the services grouped under “other” (0.2%) and housing, medicine and communications (0.1%). Alcoholic beverages, tobacco products and transport, have become more expensive since January by 4.8 and 1.9 per cent respectively. Compared with February 2011, the most inflationary of the Islands’ economy is transportation, up 6.0 per cent year on, the alcohol and tobacco, with 4.6; education, with a 2.0, and food, with a 1.7. However, today there are four sectors in the islands whose prices are lower than a year ago: medicine, which has reduced by 4.0 per cent; communications, which are down 3.5, clothing and footwear, accumulating a fall of 1.0, and recreation and culture, which fell by 0.5.

try, to be working in the EU’s institutions.” The application window to apply for a career in the EU Civil Service opens on 15 March and will close on 15 April 2012. For further information visit the EU Careers website.

Benefits of a career in the EU can include: A lifetime of different jobs Excellent training and development opportunities A competitive remuneration package Final salary pension scheme As a British citizen, to apply you will need to be a graduate in any field as long as you have an honours degree of at least three years in length.

If your main language is English you will need to speak either French or German as a 2nd language. However, if you are highly fluent in another official EU language, e.g. Spanish, you could choose this as your first language and English as your second. This year the EU is recruiting a number of generalist policy officials at graduate entry level (AD05) and graduates with 6-7 years work experience (AD07). It is also recruiting a number of specialists in the following areas; Law, Auditing, Communications and International Relations. Candidates will need to have a relevant degree or skill-set to be considered for these roles.

TENERIFE SOUTH GOES “COLOURFUL” March 11, 2012, Sunday was indeed a very colourful event as a multitude of crowd were present at the PLAZA DE FAÑABÉ, just behind Hiperdino to celebrate the Hindu festival HOLI, it was really a sight to witness , as we got a good glimpse of typical Indian hospitality and warmth, with the way they receive and welcome you, whether you are an Indian or not. The typical Indian cuisine was really mouthwatering and really livened up our taste buds. The mischievous practice of throwing colour and water on anybody and everybody or simply being a party animal without any inhibitions.

We had fun, frolic and lots of music to top up all the excitement, we also got the opportunity to dance to our hearts content to the rhythm of lively Indian music- with the continuous flow of water, giving one the feeling of actually dancing in the rain. The Indian community celebrates Holi every year and they would be very happy to have anybody who wants to join and be part of the celebration, so if you want to be part of this wonderful and colourful festival, keep looking forward for next year and join- we shall keep you posted as to when and where shall it happen, and will be very delighted to have you join.

CULTURAL VALUE AND PATRIOTISM

Hindus around the world-from South East Asia to Europe and beyond observe many colourful holidays throughout the year. Hinduism is the world´s third largest religion, the majority of it´s one billion adherents are concentrated in India, but sizable communities exist all over the world- and one of this large majority group are the Sindhis- a large socio-ethnic group who have migrated in fragments to every part of the world- this group is known to be culture loving and very Nationalistic ,so they make sure that whether they are

elsewhere their traditions are carried out and continued by their Children. This is the main reason why the Sindhi people celebrate all their festivals with the same glamour and enthusiasm here outside their hometown as they would in their own natal town. The forthcoming Cheti Chand on the 24th of March is one of the most important festival of the Sindhis- as this is also popularly known as the New Year´s day of the Sindhis. This felicitous antecedent is celebrated by all Sindhis worldwide on the second day of the chaitra month, which is

known as Chet, hence the name Cheti-Chand. It is also celebrated in adoration and reverence to mark the birthday if the Sindhi God- Jhulelal- who is reckoned to be the reincarnation of Lord Varuna, the God of water, which is the elixir of life. This is usually a one day celebration, thus it is celebrated very lavishly in the spirit of thanksgiving, and brotherhood and a means of seeking salvation from the Lord Jhulelal, the water deity.

Demonstration Planned Against Delay for the South Hospital

The mobilization, called by the Civic Forum in the Southwest, will be under the slogan “Public hospital now”. Its route will depart from the Auditorium Infanta Leonor in Los Cristianos to reach the vicinity of the pier along the Avenida de Suecia. The Southwest Civic Forum says their motivation for the protest is the “unjustifiable” delays in the construction of the public hospital in Mojón, Arona. The citizen group has called for Saturday, 21st April to be a “big event” that aims to bolster the efforts for completion and operation of the facility’s infrastructure. “The mobilization will begin at 16:00 hours and will cover different areas of Los Cristianos; departing from the Infanta Leonor Auditorium up to the end of the Avenida de Suecia, filling almost to the dock,” said the organisers on Wednesday, 14th March, during presentation of their planned protest. The protest group stated that, “We want this health resort now. The hospital com-

plex was planned in the late 70s, but we still don’t have the building.” “There have been many political promises made on the infrastructure, but all have been lies, and the managers of the various configurations that have passed through the regional government have never believed in the hospital that was planned for the southern region,” said members of the Forum Civic Southwest. “As citizens, our rights to essential healthcare facilities that improve the quality of life are being denied,” they added. “Private healthcare has always been the priority, at the detriment of public services, and this concept has to change once and for all. We should not have to suffer decades of delay.” In this sense, they understand that the demonstration “should reflect the feeling of the entire region. The involvement of citizens is essential, so we encourage the whole population to participate in the protest”

Half of theme park tickets predicted to migrate to mobile

Theme park and attraction specialist Attraction World has predicted half of all tickets could be redeemed by mobile devices within two years. The company is working with parks around the world to introduce ticketless entry to more excursions and attractions. Siam Park and Loro Parque in south Tenerife were among the first attractions to go live with ticketless entry via a barcode displayed on a

mobile phone three months ago. Attraction World sales and marketing director Tony Seaman said, “This is another step in the direction of a paperless world. “It’s better for the environment, easier for customers as they don’t have to carry reams of paper on holiday with them and great for the attraction as they have quicker access to valuable customer data.” But he said, “The main challenge to implementing this across the board is ensuring

supplier technology is suitably advanced to be able to accept non-printed tickets.” The potential already exists to offer in-resort sales as travel agents and tour operators improve their midtravel communications with customers. Seaman added: “We think it’s highly achievable that 50% of all tickets should be redeemable via this method within two years. It’s the way the world is moving and the travel industry has to keep up.”

Coral Bar & Restaurant Costa del Silencio

he Coral Bar & Restaurant is situated on the left-hand corner of Coral Mar Square, Costa Del Silencio; next door to Live Arico charity shop. The restaurant is owned by husband and wife team, Colin and Janette. Along with waitress, Cara, they prepare and cook food in-house; serving your meal and drinks at your table. On our visit Cara greeted us and showed us to our table on the terrace. The terrace is enclosed with blinds, which (including the patio heater) is great at this chilly time of year, whilst, during the summer months, it’s lovely to sit in the open air; on those balmy, warm evenings. Once seated Cara took our drinks order, whilst we surveyed the menus and read through the daily specials board. The range of starters included homemade soup of the day, deep fried garlic mushrooms, grilled mushrooms filled with blue cheese, spicy chicken wings, paté and toast, prawn cocktail and garlic bread, and also the garlic bread with cheese and tomato. The main course menu had a wide range to choose from; including fillet steak, grilled chicken breast, braised pork chops, beerbattered fish, chicken curry, chilli con carne, lasagne and spaghetti bolognese. On the evening that we visited, the specials board included; beef stew and dumplings, salmon fillet with pesto and crème fraiche sauce, breaded fish coujons and chicken tagliatelle in a tomato and herb sauce. My wife decided on spicy chicken wings as her starter, whilst I plumped for homemade carrot and coriander soup. For our mains we ordered the chicken curry and the salmon fillet. We raised our glasses whilst looking forward to our meals. We had chosen a bottle of the house red, which was light and

My salmon was lovely and pink. It was really moist and fell apart smoothly when cut. Along with the potatoes and aldente vegetables; everything complimented each other. My wife’s curry was full of tender chicken breast, in a tangy sauce that was not over-hot, but very well spiced. Cara told us that the curry can be spiced up for those who like an extra kick, but the wife said it was spot on for her taste. Meals finished and thoroughly enjoyed, we were too full for desserts and settled for a couple of barraquito coffees to finish off. ith plenty of desserts for those with a sweet tooth, including; chocolate fudge cake, Bailey’s cheesecake, apple pie, bread and butter pudding, and many more. The restaurant is open seven days a week, Monday to Saturday, from 10am until 9:30pm.: serving breakfasts, sandwiches, baguettes, toasties, light snacks and lunches. There’s also the new addition of tortilla wraps with an extensive range of savoury and spicy fillings. Sundays, they open at midday, with a light meal menu and, of course, the very popular Sunday roast, with a choice of beef, lamb, pork and turkey (with all the trimmings.) It’s probably advisable to pre-book your table, as the locals flock here regularly. Colin and Janette also cater for party or business functions, and recently held a 50th anniversary party, which by all accounts, was an outstanding and special evening. Overall, a very pleasant night; mouthwatering food, attentive service and a bill that will not break the bank. We wish them all the best for the future and we will be returning for the breakfast to confirm it’s as good as the evening meals. I cannot wait!

W fruity and very palatable. The restaurant had a very extensive range of draught and bottled lagers, John Smith’s, Guinness, soft drinks and a wine list including the Rabbit Falls range of American red, white and rosé wines. irst course arrived: my soup, served with fresh, crusty bread. It was piping hot and the sweetness of the carrot mixed with the peppery fresh coriander was perfectly balanced. My wife’s chicken wings were lovely and crispy, with a Cajun spicy kick and served with a sweet chilli dipping sauce and salad garnish. Starters devoured; our main courses arrived: and the presentation is stunning to the eye. As you know: if your plate looks ap-

petising you enjoy the taste even more. My wife’s curry was served in a separate bowl in the centre of the plate with a portion of basmati rice and homemade chips in two corners of her plate, with a salad garnish and a cupped poppadum with a tomato, onion and cucumber salad served in the opposite corner. Stunning!! My poached salmon fillet was accompanied with creamed potatoes, fresh vegetables (carrots, peas, broccoli, red cabbage) and a creamy pesto sauce. All main meals are served with a choice of homemade chunky chips, creamed potatoes, sauté or Canarian potatoes, fresh vegetables or salad. Garden or mushy peas are served with the battered fish.

Until next time, ¡buen provecho! Mitch Elin.

Tenerife Weekly - 16th March - 22nd March 2012 useful information We have now reached the stage where you have carried out all the preparatory research and you now have a good idea of the type of property you want to look for. There are literally thousands of properties for sale in the Canary Islands and it is easy to get sidetracked! Not least from some persuasive sales people who don’t always have your best interests at heart. Choosing the Estate Agents There are various ways of finding the estate agents you are going to use to find your dream home. You will usually locate these before you leave for Spain and they can be found: 1. At UK property exhibitions which are held at many locations throughout the country 2. Through UK estate agents who may be associated to agents in Spain 3. Through Internet search engines which will give you access to their websites 4. Adverts in the press Your choice of agent or agents is an important part of the buying process. Often there will be locals who will recommend particular agents to you. The staff should ideally be mature and bilingual, with a good knowledge of the local area. You should be wary of those agents who do not have their own offices and

work purely from a mobile phone! Some agents will tell you that in Tenerife it is not necessary to employ a lawyer. Whether you follow this advice is up to you but consider whether you would do so in England. Consider the additional risks here where you have a legal system with which you are not accustomed, and a member of the agency dealing with the legal work cannot act truly independently.

more often than not prepare the contract – who will therefore independently look at the contract from your perspective? Caveat emptor – let the buyer beware! There are many decent and professional estate agencies, and conversely there are unscrupulous ones that you should avoid! Ask any resident here and they will surely be able to tell you of agents who have disappeared with clients mon-

ey. A point to bear in mind is that the good ones profit from having a good reputation whilst the lesser ones have to attract clients by having a large marketing budget. It is not necessarily the agent with the flashiest advert that is the best! Some agents will advertise attractive properties on their website at equally attractive prices to lure potential purchasers to them. Upon visiting, the clients will find that the

property has “just been sold” and will be offered something else instead. While this, of course, may be true, if the same applies to several properties, then alarm bells should sound. Agents will be more than pleased to show you a wide range of properties, but it is important to remain focussed. Whilst not the case in the UK, in Tenerife it is not uncommon for the agent to agree a net sum back to the owner, rather than charge a fixed commission. This can mean that it is often more difficult to negotiate a reduction of the asking price with the agent. Let us say, for example that the seller wants to receive in their pocket 200,000 euros. The agent will add his commission on top making the selling price 210,000. If the offer is for 205,000 euros, then if the agent has promised to return 200,000 euros to the seller, the agent’s commission is reduced to 5,000 euros. If, however, the agent had agreed a 5% commission with the agent, the commission on a sale at 210,000 euros would be 10,500 euros, and on a sale at 205,000 euros it would be 10,250 euros – a drop in commission of only 250 euros.

Burnt and Dismembered Cirque du Soleil in Tenerife Body Found In Añaza January 2013

In reports reminiscent of this story from almost exactly a year ago, National Police have confirmed that a local, walking their dog on Sunday found a body at the bottom of a barranco in the Añaza area of Santa Cruz, the area south of the city centre where Carrefour is situated. Even worse than the find itself is the fact that the body was burnt and dismembered. The body appears to be that of a man aged between 20 to 30, the Policía Nacional say. The head had been separated from the body, and the legs were found a short distance away. The man appears to have been tied up, with the

bindings still around the neck and legs. The arms are still to be found. Police say that locals reported smelling what they thought was a BBQ the night before the grisly find was made. The remains have been transferred to the Instituto Anatómico Forense, where an attempt will be made to identify the body. Police say that the body was not cut up where it was found. The investigation is considering various hypotheses, including that the man died while transporting drugs in his stomach, or was a victim of a settling of scores. In either of these scenarios, it is possible that the body was cut up to ease its transport to the place where it was dumped. What is concerning police

particularly, however, is the cable found on the poor man, which could suggest that he was still alive when tied up and subsequently killed. Clearly at least one of those who set his body on fire in the barranco knew the area well, and the burning suggests an obvious attempt to do away with evidence. Forensic scientists are still carrying out minute tests on the body, including on the type of cuts made to dismember it. The results could suggest someone with medical or butchery knowledge. The autopsy was carried out on Monday (12th March) but tests are still continuing and there is no news on the early results.

Plenty of notice for this one because it’s just not to be missed. The Tenerife Cabildo is delighted to announce that the Cirque du Soleil will be in the Canaries for the first time ever early next year.

They will be performing their globally-acclaimed spectacular “Alegría” in 9 shows in the Pabellón Insular Santiago Martín in Santa Cruz between 13th and 20th January 2013.

Canary Islands receive “Preliminary Agreement” With Portugal Over Fishing Rights The Minister of Agriculture, Food and Environment (MARM), Miguel Arias Cañete, announced that there is a “preliminary agreement” with Portugal to renew the contract authorizing the vessels based in the Canary Islands to fish in Portuguese waters in Madeira. According to the Spanish minister, if the bilateral agreement is renewed, the effects of the suspension of the fishing agreement between the European Union (EU) and Morocco can be “relieved”. The suspension of this agreement, in December 2011, affected Andalusian and Canarian fishermen, who had to leave the Moroccan coasts. The pact between Spain and Portugal, which was signed in 2008 and remained in effect through 2010, was helpful for 38 artisanal fishing boats in the Canary Islands to operate in the

waters of the Azores and Madeira, and for other 38 Portuguese fishing vessels in the Canarian fishery ground, recalled Arias Cañete, RTP reported. In addition, the Spanish minister pledged to revive the joint commission sessions with Portugal whereas this commission “has not met since 2007,” during his appearance before the Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in the Senate. Before this meeting, there were sector conferences on agriculture and rural development and fisheries, with the assistance of the autonomous regions and the central Executive. During these meetings, the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Marine Affairs of the Canary Islands, Juan Ramón Hernández, claimed that the Canaries should be granted a “differentiated fishing treatment,” reported El Día.

Charity Stunt Takes

A Lotta Bottle

A charity volunteer from Todmorden has set sail on a raft made of plastic bottles to raise awareness of recycling. Matt Nichol, a graphic designer, has joined a crew of volunteers from the charity AWF – the Atlantic Whale Foundation – taking to the Atlantic on the flimsy inflatable. The team will be taking it in turns to paddle the 27 miles from Tenerife to La Gomera, in shark-infested waters. It’s part of a project called the Plastic Marathon – raising awareness about the ease and importance of recycling. The project will tie in with Climate Week (12th – 18th March.) Matt, who grew up in Todmorden, joined the AWF volunteer pro-

gramme based in Tenerife in January after finishing his degree in graphics and illustration at Coventry University. He said: “Since joining the AWF, I have been inspired and humbled by those around me. Following the example of those around me this is helping me to reach my potential and make a name for myself in the industry that I love.” The charity wants to draw attention to the 40 million plastic water bot-

tles that are dumped in landfill sites every day. The mission - part of National Climate Week this week - also aims to raise funds for the AWF’s Plant a Tree, Fund a Dream campaign, which provides education for children in Africa who have succeeded in planting and caring for trees to rebuild African forests.

The Municipality of La Orotava (Part 2) An Insightful Guide By Carlos Hernández

Welcome to the second part of our trip through La Orotava. Princesa Dácil, the Guanche Princess

On the way into La Orotava the road passes a fountain on which there is a statue of the Guanche Princesa Dácil who surveys the valley below as the spray of water helps keep the lawn lush and green whilst providing a place where blackbirds hunt for juicy worms. Princesa Dácil was the daughter of Guanche mencey Bencomo, King of Taoro - who was a bitter enemy of the Spanish invaders. However, all is fair in love and war it is said, and the princess fell in love and married one of the conquistadors, by name of Captain Fernán García del Castillo. But that’s all long ago, and today to my mind, when I look at her statue, she is symbolic of the fertility of the northern mountains and valleys and a connection with Tenerife’s pagan past.

La Orotava is a place with abundant vegetation where parks and gardens give it a very exotic look. There are large Dragon trees that add their mysterious charm. Casa de los Balcones with its inner courtyard in which tall palms grow, strange Staghorn ferns (Platycerium holtummii) hang in baskets, and ornate balconies is a must if you visit this town. Casa de los Balcones is one of several historic buildings in the Calle San Francisco, which connects the pretty squares of Plaza Casañas and Plaza

San Francisco. In it you can buy local Canarian food and drink, the best wines, and arts and crafts. There is a museum called the Museo de las Alfombras, in which for just one Euro, you can find out all about how they make the floral carpets that are laid each year for the celebration of Corpus Christi. In the Casa Lercaro where there is a restaurant, there is also an oldfashioned waterwheel and Spanish Colonial style terraces and gardens. In the town of La Orotava in the north of Tenerife in the Canary Islands there is a mysterious and very beautiful masonic garden containing the Mausoleum of the Marqués (Marquis) de la Quinta Roja, Diego de Ponte y Castillo. With the mountains and forests above and the coastline below the gardens offer commanding views over the La Orotava valley and the town itself.

enment. Perhaps the use of this symbol was to show that the Marquis had reached such knowledge? The pinecone is also said to be a symbol of rebirth and here may be symbolising the next life of the Marquis? There is a strong Freemasonic presence on the island of Tenerife and the Marqués de la Quinta Roja was a member of the Taoro Masonic Lodge. After he died at a comparitively early age, it is said that his mother had the mausoleum built but that his widow did not approve of having his remains housed there and it was not used for its original purpose. However, you still cannot help but wonder what is housed behind a mysterious padlocked wooden door that is in the front of the edifice. Behind the elaborately carved metalwork in the section above this and which bears an Omega symbol signifying “the end” - as used in the Bible where Jesus is described as “the Apha and the Omega” - it is possible

Young ones. (you know I suppose that Bees are of Neither Sex.) For this Reason the Kings of France both Pagans and Christians, always Eminent FreeMasons, carried three Bees for their Arms.” And it is also said that the original name for a Freemasonic lodge was a hive. The hive is a model of a community all working together to a common purpose and under the dominion of the Queen Bee. At a lower level of the gardens is an elaborately carved ornate metal gate that stands between two pillars. It leads nowhere though. Behind it is a wall and a carved stone bench or seat. It is like an exhibit, but what does it say? What does it symbolise? Is it saying that stepping between one world and another reveals little in the way of difference on both sides of the doorway? Is it suggesting that the Marquis, had a wonderful garden in this life and would have another in his next one? Walking around these gardens, and in La Orotava in general, the mind is sure to wander and to ask questions. La Orotava has many old historic buildings and examples of Colonial-style Canarian architecture and dragons are often incorporated in designs. The coat-of-arms of La Orotava shows a Dragon tree and four golden apples said to represent those of the mythical Garden of the Hesperides. A dragon stands guard on each side and above it all is the crown of Castille. Dragons are often found in the architecture and coats-of-arms in Tenerife and the La Orotava’s neighbour Puerto de la Cruz, on the coast below, has this reptile in its coat-of-arms. La Orotava, with its many surviving historic buildings and its steep cobblestoned streets, lanes and ornate architecture is in many ways like stepping back into the past.

Carlos.

The gardens offer seven different levels . As you walk up the pathways through the well-kept lawns and floral displays, winding your way upwards past rose beds and fountains, the focus of the entire place is the magnificent mausoleum that towers above everything and is made from gleaming white Lyon marble. It was built by the French architect Adolph Coquet in 1882. Details carved into the marble show vines and what appears to be either a pinecone or a pineapple. The pinecone can be thought to be a symbol of the pineal gland thought to be the bodily location of spiritual enlight-

to see what is in an inner sanctum, and it is a carving of a beehive, a very important hieroglyphic symbol or emblem in Freemasonry. The Early Masonic Catechisms printed in 1724 tells us: “A bee has in all Ages and Nations been the Grand Hierogliphick of Masonry, because it excells all other living Creatures in the Contrivance and Commodiousness of its Habitation or combe; … nay Masonry or Building seems to be of the very Essence or Nature of the Bee, for her Building not the ordinary Way of all other living Creatures, is the Generative Cause which produces the

No Favourable US Retail Figures Up Treatment From Brussels

Brussels has changed the deficit limit for Spain, with the Eurogroup meeting of finance ministers saying that Spain must make ‘an additional effort’. Mariano Rajoy had unilaterally changed the deficit target for the end of this year from 4.4% to 5.8% of GDP, but in Brussels on Monday night (12th March) the Eurogroup insisted that the deficit be reduced to 5.3% this year. The 0.5% greater cuts will mean an additional adjustment in spending of 5 billion euros this year.

The pilots union SEPLA and cabin crew union STAVIA have suspended their planned strike action in Iberia which was planned from 16th March. They had planned 24 strikes, each of 24 hours affecting Holy Week and other bank holidays, but following mediation from the Government have now suspended the strike action. The row is over the creation of a new low cost airline by Iberia, Iberia Express which has a launch date of 25th March. SEPLA claims it will result in the loss of 8,000 jobs in the groups, and therefore has proposed over alternative ways of segregating the activity of the airline. The strikes have been suspended after the unions and Iberia agreed to designate a mediator to put forward solutions and start a process of consensus. The debt to Hacienda of football clubs in Spain has risen to 752 million Euros, up 150 million in the last four years. The Primera clubs make up 489 million of the debt. The numbers, dated 1stJanuary 2012, come from the Government. Left wing IU deputy, Caridad García has told the press the clubs are carrying out their business without attending to their fical obligations. Caixa Bank has admitted contacts to take over Banca Cívica. The Cívica will have difficulties in complying with new PP regulations being introduced by the Minister for the Economy, Luis de Guindos. However despite the admission of contacts, both banks say there is no agreement. The Minister for Industry has not ruled out putting up electricity prices in April. José Manuel Soria said that the whole range of measures would need to be studied to see if the price can be held, but he warned the reforms of energy policy being planned would apply ‘efficiency measures’ to rationalise consumption. He said that he is prepared to adopt measures which are not ‘simple or easy’. The Government is preparing an energy policy for the next ten years, and the Minister commented that abandoning nuclear power would be a luxury too far. The Mercantile Court 10 in Madrid has sentenced the Salazar brothers, Jesús and Jaime, to pay 92.23 Euros million to the BFA-Bankia bank for altering the accounts of their SOS company to make the entry of new capital more expensive. The bank entered at ‘an inflated price’ as the brothers hid losses in the accounts. The judge commented ‘The trading value of SOS was inflated as it reflected profits which were not real’. Nicolas Sarkozy has said he wants to get the tax from the French who have placed their fiscal residency abroad to avoid taxes. ‘I want paying tax and nationality to be linked’, he said. French people working abroad will not be targeted. Meanwhile the latest poll shows Sarkozy ahead of the Socialist Hollande for the first time. Prices were up 0.1% in February compared to January, and that ends the run of reductions in the IPC seen since September. Among the items rising in price, according to the National Statistics Institute were petrol, 2% up in price. The harmonized IPCA, used across Europe, was placed at 1.9% in Spain, down a tenth on last month.

US retail sales rose by the most in five months during February, US Commerce Department figures have shown, fuelled mostly by demand for cars. Sales increased 1.1% last month, compared with an upwardlyrevised 0.6% rise in January. The latest figures showed a 1.6% jump in car and truck sales, and added to signs that the US economy is recovering steadily. The mild winter also boosted sales at stores across the country. Sales at petrol stations gained by 3.3%, the biggest jump since March last

year, after a 1.9% increase in January. Sales at clothing stores gained by 1.8%, the biggest increase in that part of the economy since November 2010. Consumer spending accounts for more than twothirds of the US economy, which is the world’s largest.

The retail sales figures add to optimism over the health of the economy, after the Labour Department said last week that the US economy created 227,000 jobs in February. The unemployment rate stayed at 8.3%, the lowest level in nearly three years.

Bus Crash Deaths Mourned In Belgium Belgium has declared a day of mourning for the 28 people - 22 of them children - killed in a bus crash as they returned from a ski trip in Switzerland. The vehicle smashed into the concrete wall of a tunnel in the Swiss Alps, near the border with Italy. Another 24 children were injured in the crash - which has been described as one the worst traffic accidents in Swiss history. Six adults, including the two drivers of the coach, died in the accident. The bus, which was carrying 52 people, crashed on Tuesday night in the canton of Valais, an area of popular ski resorts. It was travelling on the A9 towards Sion when it suddenly swerved to the right, struck a kerb and hit the motorway tunnel. Parties from two schools in Belgium were on board the bus, heading from Val d’Anniviers back to Belgium. Most of the children were aged around 12, and the bus was one of three hired by a Christian group which organised the trip. Families of the victims are being flown to Switzerland by military aircraft. An investigation to determine the cause of the crash is under way. No other vehicles were said to be involved in the incident. Belgium’s Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo, who is to fly to the crash scene, said it was “an extremely sad day for all of Belgium”. “It is a black day for our country. All Belgians share our immense

sadness. There are no words to express what we feel,” he said. “The government has decided a day of national mourning will be observed.” Swiss parliamentarians stood for a minute’s silence. President Eveline WidmerSchlumpf, who will also be visiting the site, said the country would do all it could to support the families of the dead and injured. Jan Luykx, the Belgian ambassador to Switzerland, who went straight to the site of the crash, said, “This tragedy will hit the whole of Belgium.” The impact of the smash was so severe many passengers were trapped in the wreckage and had to be freed by rescuers. Around 200 police, firefighters and medics worked through the night on board the bus, its front ripped open and broken glass and debris strewn across the road. Christian Varone, head of police in the Canton of Valais region, described it as “a scene like a war”. He said, “We have had a number of serious accidents in Valais but nothing like this, with so many young victims.” Eight helicopters and a dozen ambulances ferried survivors to hospitals in the Valais region, as well as to Bern and Lausanne. JeanPierre Deslarzes, a surgeon in one of the hospitals, said, “All the rescuers were shocked by what they have experienced. The magnitude of the accident is difficult to digest.” The coach was heading

back to the cities of Lommel, close to the Dutch border, and Heverlee in Flanders. Distraught parents and relatives rushed to Saint Lambertus School in Heverlee and the Stekske School in Lommel for news about their loved ones. Marc Carels, headteacher of Saint Lambertus School, which had 24 pupils, a teacher and a classroom assistant on the trip, said, “We know some of the children are ok, but we don’t have names.” Parish priest Dirk De Gendt

said both the adults were killed. Of the 24 pupils, “16 suffered different injuries, some broken arms or legs, but they are alive,” he said. But the school had “no news” of the remaining eight, he added. Peter Vanvelthoven, the mayor of Lommel, joined

anxious relatives on a convoy of buses to a military base to be flown to the crash scene. Belgian Transport Minister Melchior Wathelet said, “I’m at a loss for words. Terribly hurt, terribly moved.” Mr Wathelet said the company that ran the coach, Toptours, based in Aarschot,

central Belgium, had a good safety record. “The drivers had arrived the night before and had rested during the day before departure. It seems that the law on driving and rest periods has been respected,” Mr Wathelet added. Switzerland’s mountain regions have a history of deadly crashes. Tuesday’s (13th March) was the worst since 1982 when 39 German tourists were killed on a railway crossing when a train hit their bus.

Physicist Professor Hawking, will be making an appearance in a scene with awkward scientist Sheldon Cooper, who is played by Jim Parsons. Stephen’s new voice synthesizer – which replaced the robotic voice he had previously become associated with – will also be revealed on The Big Bang Theory, which has previously featured guest

appearances from sci-fi actors Wil Wheaton and Summer Glau. The 70-year-old cosmologist – who is well known for writing the best-selling book A Brief History of Time – had been asked to star on the programme before but he was too ill to take part. During the fourth series of The Big Bang Theory, Professor Hawking was referenced when Howard

Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) left a voicemail on Sheldon’s phone pretending to be Stephen. He said, ‘I wish to discuss your theory on black holes. Meet me at Randy’s Donuts.’ Professor Hawking’s cameo appearance in the show - which stars Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco – will be aired on Channel 4 in the UK at a later date.

African Warlord Convicted Of Crimes Against Humanity

The international war crimes court at The Hague has found Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga Dyilo guilty in its first ever ruling. Lubanga, 51, was found guilty of recruiting and deploying child soldiers during a five-year conflict until 2003. Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie was at the ICC to witness the reading of the verdict - the court’s first judgement, after a decade of work. She said the verdict “sends a strong message against the use of child soldiers”. An estimated 60,000 people were killed in the violence, part of much wider bloodshed in central Africa. Lubanga sat impassively in court, having denied all charges. He will be sentenced at a later date. Lubanga “was essential to a common plan to conscript and enlist girls and boys below the age of 15”, ICC Presiding Judge Adrian Fulford said in reading the historic judgement. Lubanga was detained six years ago and faced three counts of war crimes. He could face up to life imprisonment, although a sentence will not be passed immediately. An appeal can be filed within 30 days. The three-judge panel said children were forced into camps in the Ituri region, where they were placed under harsh training regimes and brutally punished. Soldiers and army commanders under Lubanga’s authority used girls as domestic workers and subjected them to rape and sexu-

al violence, they said. “The accused and his co-perpetrators agreed to, and participated in, a common plan to build an army for the purpose of establishing and maintaining political and military control over Ituri,” they said. “This resulted in the conscription and enlistment of boys and girls under the age of 15.” A conviction could now help lend momentum to other prominent cases, such as that against former Ivory Coast president Laurent Gbagbo. Gbagbo is charged with individual responsibility on counts of crimes against humanity - murder, rape and other forms of sexual violence and persecution. However, the conviction also highlighted the political limitations of the ICC. It was set up to provide a permanent forum after ad hoc tribunals, inspired by the Nuremberg trials of Nazi leaders, were used to prosecute those responsible for war crimes in the former Yugoslavia and for the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s, but the ICC can work only with the assent of political leaders. “Is (Lubanaga’s conviction) going to give pause to Bashar al Assad?” asked Reed Brody, counsel for Human Rights Watch. “I don’t think so,” he continued, labelling Lubanga a “small fish” in Africa. Governments and rights groups level war crimes accusations at Syrian President al Assad for cracking down on protesters. But the ICC cannot act because of deadlock among world powers at the United Nations Security Council, the only body that could order a prosecution. Russia and China have vetoed efforts at the United Nations Security Council to refer Syrian leaders to the ICC. “It’s not the fault of the ICC,” said Mr Brody, who established a reputation as a scourge of dictators during efforts to bring Chile’s Augusto Pinochet to trial. “It’s the fault of the Security Council and of the world order... the international justice system does not operate in a vacuum.”

Sultan Kosen has been placed on medication to treat his disproportionate levels of testosterone and doctors in Virginia believe the pioneering treatment could finally stop his continued growth. His gigantic appearance is the result of a condition called acromegaly, which is usually caused by a tumour in the pituitary gland. Neurosurgeon Jason Sheehan, from Virginia Medical Centre, who helped treat Kosen, said, “I’m most pleased that we were able to help Sultan. ‘If he had continued to grow, it would have been life-threatening.” The 29-year-old was named the world’s tallest man by Guinness in 2011, overtaking former record holder Bao Xis-

The World Goes Green For St. Paddy

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the latest landmark turning green for St. Patrick’s Day. The 56m high Italian attraction will join other sites in a “global greening” to mark Ireland’s national day of celebration. Last month, Tourism Ireland revealed Niagara Falls, the London Eye, Burj al Arab in Dubai and Table Mountain in South Africa would all be illuminated green as part of

the international spectacle on 17th March. Since then, San Francisco’s Coit Tower and City Hall, Selfridges department store in London, the Cibeles fountain in Madrid, an entire town on the Costa Blanca, Moraira, Vienna’s Burgtheater and the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw have also come onboard. Brussels Town Hall, the Glasgow Eye and the Clyde Auditorium - affectionately known as “the Armadillo” in Glasgow - will also turn green for the day on Saturday. Tourism Minister Leo Varadkar said the global greening will promote Ireland to millions of potential visitors around the world. “Our job is to build on this fantastic occasion by encouraging them to visit Ireland,” he

said. “We want to give them the green light to visit - literally. “Traditionally, St Patrick’s Day has signalled the start of the tourism season in Ireland and this initiative will significantly raise Ireland’s profile.” The Municipal Stadium in Poznan, Poland, where Ireland will play two matches in this summer’s European Championships, has also been added to the greening list. Niall Gibbons, chief executive of Tourism Ireland, said the displays will bring a smile to the faces of people around the globe. “We are absolutely delighted that so many well-known sites and attractions are eager to come on board with us and join in our celebration next weekend,” he said.

100 posties per year suffer dog attacks

Almost 100 postmen and women are attacked by dogs each year in Northern Ireland, Royal Mail has stated. The figure was revealed as plans for an independent inquiry into dog attacks were launched. A total of 24,143 Royal Mail postal staff have been attacked while delivering mail since 2006, with 570

in Northern Ireland. Chairman of Royal Mail Group Donald Brydon announced the new inquiry will examine the prevalence of attacks and their consequences, plus make recommendations on the way forward. Mr Brydon said: “It is an offence to decency that good people should suffer these attacks when carrying out their daily jobs and

serving the public.” There are close to 4,000 dog attacks across the UK annually, with around 90 each year in Northern Ireland. Many postal staff suffer serious injury and trauma. The inquiry, to be chaired by former High Court judge Sir Gordon Langley, is expected to report later this year.

Dangerous Driving Conviction For Garda Detective

A member of the Garda has been convicted of dangerous driving following a crash on the M50 just over two years ago. Detective Garda Kevin Keys who is attached to Mountjoy Garda station in Dublin admitted he lost control of the car on the

His solicitor asked the court to find that the prosecution had not proved that Garda Keys was guilty of dangerous driving beyond reasonable doubt. Dara Robinson said there was a possibility that the lesser charge of careless driving had been made out. However Judge Conal Gibbons said he had no doubt that the prosecution had proved that Gar-

da Keys was guilty of dangerous driving, taking into account the conditions at the time, the speed and the description of what happened from the driver Mr Keys crashed into. He disqualified Detective Mr Keys from driving for two years and fined him 500 Euros. The judge earlier dismissed a charge of taking the unmarked garda car without authorisation. He said to call the arrangements for taking a car from Mountjoy “loose” would be an understatement.

An Army bomb disposal team made safe two improvised explosive devices in Dublin Tuesday night (13th March.) In the first incident, the team attended a house on Clogher Road, Crumlin, at

1.15am following a request from Gardaí. The scene was declared safe at 2.40am. The team then received a follow-on request and went to a residence in Limekiln Green, Walkinstown, arriving at 3am. Another viable de-

vice was made safe there, with the all-clear given at 4am. This was the third call out for Army disposal teams in Dublin in less than 24 hours and the fifth this week.

Belfast University In Army Make Safe Two Efforts To Curb Unrest Explosive Devices

Queen’s University in Belfast has said it is “working closely” with statutory agencies to ensure St Patrick’s Day revelries pass off peacefully this year. Recent years have seen large-scale disturbances and anti-social behaviour on March 17th, particularly in the “Holyland” area of south Belfast, where thousands of students from a number of universities and further education colleges rent accommodation. The area is also home to long-term owner-occupiers.

Tensions have been running high between residents and students for years, r e a c h ing a pitch around this time of year. Last year eight people were arrested on St Patrick’s Day for a number of offences including disorderly behaviour, criminal damage and assault. A large amount of alcohol was also confiscated from the streets. But Queen’s said it had taken steps to curb excessive partying, including making this Friday, March 16th, a “reading day” and by closing the university altogether next Monday, March 19th. It was “actively encouraging” students to go home to

their families for the long weekend. It was also sending sabbatical officers to patrol the Holyland on the day. A spokesman said: “The PSNI and Belfast City Council are taking the lead in contingency planning for this year’s St Patrick’s Day. Queen’s University, along with other key stakeholders including . . . the University of Ulster, St Mary’s College and Belfast Metropolitan College are working closely with the lead co-ordinators.” A community affairs officer from QUB will visit all student houses in the Holyland this week to remind students of their civic responsibilities. “Any Queen’s student who is reported for anti-social behaviour will be dealt with under the university’s disciplinary process,” the spokesman added.

Sainsbury Critical Of Tax Levy The chief executive of Sainsbury’s has criticised the large stores levy introduced by Stormont to help subsidise rates relief for smaller businesses. Justin King said it was an unfair tax on big employers, but welcomed the fact it was only a temporary measure. The levy will come into effect from 1st April. The so-called “Tesco tax” has been opposed by large retailers who said it could limit investment and cost jobs. Mr King said, “We don’t think any tax that’s directed at a particular sector, particularly one like supermarkets

that create so many jobs, is a good thing, but what we were pleased to see is that it has a so-called sunset clause in it, so it won’t last beyond its current duration.” Finance Minister Sammy Wilson said the tax would fund additional help for small businesses. He said it would also allow business ratepayers to brighten up shop windows with non-commercial window displays, without incurring full occupied rates. It also provides for a one year concession, during 2012/13, that will effectively allow 50% empty-property relief to continue for a year.

In December, it emerged that, on average, big retailers will pay an extra charge of £66,000 a year. That would raise £5m which would be used to fund a rate cut for small shops. The levy will be at a rate of 15%, not 20% as originally planned. It will affect 76 large shops. Under the plans, a shop the size of the Belfast Ikea store could pay an extra £250,000 a year in rates. Businesses with more than three branches will not qualify for the rate cut - which means bookmakers’ chains and bank branches will be excluded from the lower rates benefit.

Wind Turbine Deal Worth £50 Million

A Belfast company has signed a £50 million deal with a global wind turbine manufacturer as it submits a tender to install 200 turbines across Northern Ireland within the next five years. Simple Power has signed an exclusive agreement with Vergnet SA to use its turbines in the region. The local firm will operate and manage single turbines on a range of sites, including farm land rented out by owners, with electricity produced going into the main grid. Its first two 250kw turbines will start producing

energy this summer, with an ambitious goal of getting 200 turning by 2016. Simple Power chief executive Paul Carson said the deal came at a pivotal point in the development of wind energy in Northern Ireland. Mr Carson hailed his new partners. “The company is a global leader in the wind sector medium with expertise spanning 20 years,” he said. “We look forward to leveraging our combined strengths to fuel the growth of the single wind turbine sector in the province.” He added: “The com-

pany’s highly advanced technological and engineering expertise is crucial to the rapid roll-out of our single wind turbine strategy this year and over the next five years.” Marc Vergnet, chief executive of Vergnet SA said, “With Simple Power, Vergnet has found an innovative and very professional partner in a rapidly growing renewable energy region. “The calibre of the Simple Power team, which is clearly highly committed to developing the single wind energy market in Northern Ireland, was particularly important.”

NI Politicians To Get £5,000 Pay Rise

Politicians at the Northern Ireland Assembly are to get a pay rise of nearly £5,000, but face hefty cuts in their expenses and allowances. An independent review has ordered the changes, which it said will deliver an overall saving of £3.16 million to the taxpayer.

The Independent Financial Review Panel revealed its findings which will also cut the financial benefit to Assembly Members who double as district councillors or MPs. Chair of the independent panel Pat McCartan said: “I think it is a tough but fair and equitable and affordable package.”

The package of measures also seeks to cap the hiring of family members by politicians, and tackle the hiring of services from relatives or from political donors. After a study of the work of Assembly Members, and the fact that each of the 18 constituencies elects six representatives, the review ruled that wages will remain lower than other devolved UK legislatures. The group’s chair added: “The Assembly should be applauded for having the courage to place these decisions in the hands of an independent panel totally free of political influence.” He said the measures introduced new regulations for expenses to improve value for money and increase transparency and accountability.

Málaga Girl Dies After Tragic Accident

Carlos Haya Hospital, Málaga

Following a serious head injury on 16th February, a 13-year-old girl has died in hospital. The child was hit by an iron bar which fell on her in the street, causing her serious head trauma. It happened when she was walking with a friend to her school in the La Princesa district of Málaga and was hit by chance by the falling iron bar which had come from a blind on a block, and fallen some 30 metres. Several people raised the

alarm and the health services were on the scene quickly and she was rushed to the Carlos Haya Hospital. Her head injuries were such that an operation was needed, and after that she went into intensive care. She had been making progress, and indeed left intensive care last week, but over the past few days her condition worsened and she died on Tuesday, 13th March. Málaga Local Police had opened an investigation to establish from exactly where the iron bar fell from, and it is now known that it came from a flat on the 7th floor. The police have sent the information and witness accounts to the courts, but the conclusion was that it was a tragic accident and no one is responsible.

Problems can often arise when neighbours are forced to live in close proximity to each other. Often delicate neighbourhood relationships can be strained by disputes like non-payment of community charges or noise. Cleanliness, watering systems and bad smells are some of the other causes of neighbourhood disputes, but for the Spanish in particular, noise is by far and away the most common cause of conflicts between neighbours. These latest findings in a study by CPP indicate that excessive noise is a problem specific to Spain. The same study showed that in Britain, for example, there are only half as many disputes over noise. According to the report, many of the disputes between neighbours remain unresolved and more than half of respondents said that they have occurred over the past year. Legal costs are, together with damages, the biggest sources of economic loss when solving a neighbourhood dispute in Spain. Only one in ten

Two Thirds Of Spaniards Are Engaged In Neighbourhood Disputes people are likely to take legal action. The study shows that the consequences of these conflicts include having to deal with unexpected expenses and lost time, having to take legal action, having to cope with stressful arguments, and even health problems, especially in those over 65 years-of-age. Another consequence of neighbourhood conflicts, which generates substantial costs, is having to move house, which 8% of people surveyed claim to have done or are thinking of doing, with young people between 26 and 35 the most willing to do so.

Many highlighted the psychological rather than economic cost of the disputes with their neighbours, which two out of ten respondents reported having suffered. 10% of respondents said the dispute had resulted in the total breakdown of relations with their neighbour. Region by region, Murcia had the highest number of neighbourhood disputes, with 77% of people surveyed saying they had at some time been, or were currently involved in one, followed by Madrid (72%) and Valencia (70%); whereas Navarre (40%), Galicia (51%) and Asturias (52%) were all below average. Young people aged between 18 and 35 are the most likely to be involved in a neighbourhood conflict 73% claim to have had disputes with their neighbours; while nearly half of those over 65 years (45%) say they have never encountered this kind of situation. People living in flats suffer more disputes (72%) than those living in detached villas (63%) or semi-detached housing (63%).

Ibiza Sees The Return Of Manchester’s New Order Manchester legends New Order are heading to Ibiza to play their first gig on the island more than 20 years after they adopted its Balearic sound for one of their most successful records. They will join acts including Kasabian, Tinie Tempah and Ed Sheeran at the Ibiza Rocks festival later this year. The band, whose 1983 hit Blue Monday remains the biggest-selling 12-inch single of all time, recorded part of their 1989 number-one album Technique in Ibiza

where they were heavily influenced by Balearic house music and acid house. Singer Bernard Sumner said: “The last time New Order were in Ibiza was the second summer of love. We were there to record an album and didn’t really know what we were walking into. “By the time we left a few months later New Order, the Happy Mondays and the Hacienda had collided and fused with the Balearics and Ibiza’s superclubs. Manchester had become Madchester and dance music had made a quantum

leap. “Although we didn’t spend much time in the studio, we left with the basis of our album Technique. “New Order and Ibiza are forever entwined. There’s no going back so instead we look forward - to playing our first-ever concert on the island at Ibiza Rocks.” The band formed in 1980 from the ashes of post-punk rockers Joy Division after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis and became one of British music’s most influential acts.

Brit Killed Whilst Fishing

BRITISH angler Andrew Latham, 44, died when he was electrocuted while fishing at the Amadorio reservoir in Orcheta on the morning of 14th March (Wednesday.) Police say that Mr Latham’s body was found floating in the reservoir but this was refuted by witnesses who claim that Mr Latham was next to his fishing chair when his estimated 24ft-long fishing pole hit overhead power lines. By the time the emergency services arrived at the scene there

was nothing they could do to revive Mr Latham. A spokesman for the fishing club, based in Orcheta, said that Mr Latham had been there earlier in the day to purchase a fishing licence and that he went to a part of the reservoir that is popular with anglers. He added that three people were already at the spot fishing when Mr Latham arrived and they made space for him which placed him close to an electricity sub-station and high voltage overhead power lines.

Madrid Commemorates Victims Of Bombings

The Community of Madrid and Madrid City Council have paid tribute to the victims of the attacks of 11thMarch 2004 in two separate events, both held a day late so as not to coincide with demonstrations against the labour reform bill held in the capital. The two memorial services were attended by representatives of the PP, PSOE, IU and UPyD and victim groups. The homage organised by the Community of Madrid brought together 200 people, including the regional president, Esperanza Aguirre, and the mayor of the capital, Ana Botella, who together laid laurel wreath at the memorial plaque in the Puerta del Sol. Also present were the Ministers of Culture, José Ignacio Wert, and

Agriculture, Miguel Arias Cañete, the government delegate in Madrid, Cristina Cifuentes, director general for the Support of Victims of Terrorism of the Ministry of Interior, Sonia Ramos, and spokespersons the PP, PSOE, IU and UPyD in the Madrid Assembly.

Pensioner Rescued After Wall Collapse

A 65 year-old man from Albox, Almería, was rescued early on Tuesday 13th March after spending the night buried under the remains of a fivemeter wall which collapsed on him while he was in the courtyard of his home. According to sources in the Office of Health, the wounded man was taken to the Inmaculada Hospital in Huércal-Overa where he remained under observation of the ER. Sources said that the emergency services were alerted by a neighbour after missing his presence in the morning. Upon investigation, the neighbour discovered the man injured under the

rubble of the wall and called 112. The man, who was buried in mud up to his waist, managed to avoid major injuries from the fall of the wall but was stuck in a gap in the wall until 6 fire fighters were able to free him.

According to preliminary observations by the rescue services, the fall of the wall was caused by a leak of water due to a breakdown in the supply network that went unnoticed by the owner, who lived alone in the apartment.

zaurtundua. Five minutes’ silence was observed at Atocha station and a laurel wreath was laid in memory of victims of the 11-M attacks by the spokesmen for the opposition, and the government delegate and secretary of the PSOE, Óscar López.

Speaking to the press before the tribute organized by City Hall at the monument in Atocha station, the president of the Association of 11-M Victim Support, Ángeles Domínguez, said that the decision by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Eduardo Torres-Dulce, to investigate the wreckage of one of the trains that allegedly

exploded in the attacks, and has been kept in railway storage, is “a ray of hope.” Domínguez said that the association had been “very alone this year in its fight” to keep open the investigation into what happened on 11th March 2004, and said they felt that “justice has still not been done.” She also called the postponement of the commemorative events in order to avoid the demonstration against the labour reform bill “unfair”, saying that the unions “have 364 days to demonstrate and 11th March is the day to remember”. For his part, the government delegate in Madrid called for unity for all victims of terrorism, saying “terrorism is the enemy of all and all victims are equal.”

THE APPRENTICE BBC1 is back Wednesday 21 st

9:00pm Blank Canvas. Sixteen candidates begin their fight for one-life changing opportunity - a quarter of a million pounds to start up a business with Lord Sugar as their partner. In the first task, the boys compete against the girls. Each team must buy blank goods, add value by printing a design onto them and then sell them from stalls on the streets of London. It is a test of the candidates’ creativity, marketing and salesmanship. One team gets creative with cute kids’ clothes, while the other plays it safe with Union Jacks on teddies for tourists. Having to hand-print hundreds of products by midnight piles on the pressure, resulting in messed-up merchandise, and figuring out the financials is almost forgotten. Punters are put off by poorly-printed products and overzealous selling, and the bitching, backbiting and blaming begins. In the boardroom, one candidate’s dream of going into business with Lord Sugar comes to an abrupt end when they are the first to hear the words “You’re fired”.

F1: Australian Grand Prix Highlights

BBC1 - 2:00 - 4:00 pm Jake Humphrey introduces extended highlights from this morning’s Australian Grand Prix, the curtain-raiser for the 2012 Formula 1 season. With commentary from Ben Edwards and David Coulthard. Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel led from start to finish in Mel-

bourne last year and went on to dominate the title race. But the German is likely to face much stronger opposition this year, as he bids for a third consecutive world crown. His chief rivals are likely to include 2011 runner-up Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton, who is aiming to get

back to form after an up and down campaign last year. Meanwhile, Ferrari are desperate to make amends for a poor 2011, when they won just one race - and will be hoping their new car will give Fernando Alonso the edge in what is sure to be another compelling Formula 1 season.

how the men who fought and reported there have changed – like the islands - in the last three decades. For veteran Simon Weston it is an opportunity to see parts of the Falklands he has never visited before and experience some of the stunning wildlife on the beautiful Sea Lion Island. It is also a moment to reflect on the severe injuries he suffered and the friends he lost when

his ship was torpedoed in 1982. “The Falklands holds a very bittersweet place in my heart because it changed my life and without it, a lot of the great things and the good things that have happened in my life would never have happened.” He visits Fitzroy Bay, where his ship the Sir Galahad was bombed, killing many of his fellow seamen.

for ITV1 from Bentley Productions. When convicted killer Grady Felton (Jack Pierce) comes back to his childhood home after 18 years, it stirs up anger and raw emotion for the family of his victim, Daniel Denning. A barrister involved in the trial is murdered that same night and fingers naturally point at Grady. But Grady has a solid alibi

so the detectives suspect he could be working with an accomplice. But then Grady himself is critically injured in an arson attack. Does someone in the picturesque country estate of Binwell have old scores to settle? Meanwhile, Barnaby must face some personal demons of his own as he tries to train for the Chief Constable’s fitness test.

BBC VS ITV: THE FIGHT IS ON! Cheryl Cole Suing Now magazine Round one goes to BBC as ITV has backed down with regards to the start time for this year’s BGT, meaning the Simon Cowell juggernaut will only clash with the BBC programme for 15 minutes. Simon Cowell’s ITV stalwart BGT appears to have backed down in the face of major competition from BBC show The Voice, which is one of the most hotly anticipated new series of the year. With both talent shows launching on the same night, March 24, viewers were set to have to choose between the two, since

they both aired at similar times. But now BGT bosses have announced that contrary to earlier schedule indications, in which the programmes would overlap by 50 minutes, the finalised schedules mean that they will overlap for just 20 minutes. The Voice is set to air from 7pm on BBC1 and finish at 8.20pm, while BGT will begin at 8pm and continue until 9.20pm, meaning viewers desperate to catch the first part of Britain’s Got Talent will have to forsake the concluding 20 minutes of The Voice. The decision by ITV to push BGT back is a relatively pacific move by the broadcaster, after a series of more aggressive scheduling decisions, including the selection of identical launch dates for the two shows, when BGT usually begins in mid-April. Earlier this year, Simon Cowell poached BBC darling Alesha Dixon for Britain’s Got Talent by reportedly offering her thousands more than she was earning on Strictly Come Dancing.

Cheryl Cole is suing the publishers of Now magazine over its articles alleging the star enjoyed a ‘secret relationship’ with MC Harvey. According to the papers seen by Press Gazette, Cheryl is suing over the original article featuring Harvey’s claim that the pair secretly dated and a follow-up article claiming a lawyer had seen emails proving the claims were true. In the first article Harvey said the pair became close after her split from husband Ashley, telling the magazine: ‘There was a relationship and an attraction to each other’s aura. He was quoted as saying he would have married her given the chance and laughed off claims that Cheryl had been in a relationship with Derek Hough, but said he would ‘never disclose’ details of what they had said to each other. Cheryl quickly took to her Twitter account to deny the claims, but Harvey later provided a batch of emails as ‘proof’ that the relationship was genuine. Lawyer Tim Parish ‘concluded that the messages were real, had not been doctored in any way and confirm he was in a romantic relationship with the sender.’ Now’s news editor Jess Boulton hit out at Harvey for backtracking over the comments, saying in a blog post: ‘As with Harvey, we’re used to celebs getting scared and trying to backtrack on what they’ve said. And for that reason we record every interview.’ ‘Cheryl’s lawyers have asked to see Mr Harvey’s alleged e-mails which the magazine says are “proof” of the “romance” but it claims not to have them in its possession.

Blue Ivy’s bling booties Shona McGarty gets fruity! Beyoncé and Jay-Z appear to be giving Victoria and David Beckham a run for their money when it comes to baby fashion as they showed off their little one’s latest accessory; a pair of designer gold booties.

Beyoncé clearly wants her first daughter to grow a love for shoes as Blue was seen sporting a pair of gorgeous sparkly gold Marc Jacobs shoes that would be fit for a princess. Her 30-year-old mum looked equally as stylish in a cream trouser suit with her hair scraped back into a neat ponytail and wearing designer shades. The Halo singer certainly seemed happy to be out and about in New York as she enjoyed the spring weather and knew she and Blue were in safe hands as they were flanked by Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s personal bodyguard. Blue was born on January 7 at New York City’s Lenox Hospital.

Una Healy and Ben Foden welcome baby girl

Ben Foden has revealed fiancée Una Healy has given birth to a healthy baby girl named Aoife Belle Foden, with the rest of The Saturdays rushing to send congratulatory messages. The rugby star announced the couple’s baby news on Twitter, writing: ‘I am officially a Dad!!!!!! Una and baby are both amazing and healthy!!!! So proud of them both! #babybenuna’ According to Hello magazine, the new arrival weighed in at 7lbs 13oz and is called Aoife Belle Foden. Aoife is a popular Irish name which traditionally means ‘beauty’ while Belle – French for ‘beautiful – is also the French adaption of Bell, the maiden name of Ben’s mother.

Congratulations!

EastEnders star Shona McGarty was asked to leave an Asda store over the weekend after she was spotted playing with a yoghurt. The actress was approached by security guards in the Watford supermarket branch after ‘smearing herself suggestively’ with the yoghurt while messing around with her boyfriend and co-star Matt Lapinskas. The 20-year-old had attracted the attention of other shoppers with her antics, one of whom complained about her lewd behaviour. ‘It was disgusting,’ a source told The Sun. ‘The man was opening up pots and looked as if he was throwing it around.’ ‘Then the girl started to smear it over herself in a suggestive manner.’ A spokesman for the supermarket giant confirmed that the incident had taken place but downplayed it to The Sun. Shona, who plays Whitney Dean in the soap, started dating Matt, who plays Anthony Moon, in September last year.

One Direction forced to call police as fans run riot The NYPD has twice been called to One Direction’s New York hotel amid safety fears for them and their fans. Security has been beefed up while they stay in the city, as the frenzy surrounding the boy band threatened to spiral out of control. The singers have been ordered to stay indoors as the scale of interest became apparent after their appearance on The Today Show was met with a record breaking crowd of 15,000. Singer Niall Horan needed a minder as he attempted to take some snaps in Times Square and was ordered back to the

hotel after he was mobbed. But it was just as chaotic there. A witness said: ‘Fans were crying and shaking when they caught a glimpse of the band. It was very surreal. Others were banging on the glass of the windows and hotel managers were worried they would smash the glass.’ The love-in came after 1D took over the US airwaves and broke the audience record for their acoustic web performance on Z100 radio. Some 40,000 tuned in, six times more than Justin Bieber pulled in.

36 The Northern Light Tenerife Weekly - 16th March - 22nd March 2012 out on the town

You could be excused for thinking that Stan Frasier is a gang, the man is everywhere, with his international show and his Sweet Caroline finish, he covers more bars in a week than your average flower girl. Beginning with Aries Bar he was there crooning on a Saturday night. I popped in to Flicks for their cracking Sunday lunch; who is singing, Stan. On Wednesday I called in to the Market Tavern to watch the hilarious Billy Porter, who is compering; yup, the man. To top it all I was singing and playing guitar in the popular Coconut Joes when my Cabaret for the night turns up and it’s Mr. Stan Frasier.

We´ve got to talk.

On being asked his age he smiles disarmingly and sez, “am younger than Rod Stewart”, so we went for the bio instead. His first experience was with the Scottish National Youth Orchestra, born in Aberdeen, his first pro gig was as a schoolboy in a

band called “Copycats” doing, predictably, Beatles and Stones covers with alternatively some Motown thrown in. If you watch the show these influences are still there. His pedigree is pretty good having worked with “Marmalade” and “Pink Floyd”, Gerry Rafferty and the Big Yin himself, Billy Connell; with extensive travel including the Middle East and the U.S.A. Stan now lives with his wife, the vivacious Elaine in Chayofa, and his daughter and grandchildren are also here. He is enjoying life and doing what he does best: if entertainers were builders tools I would be a rasp and this guy would be glass paper, he is so smooth, one can´t imagine a bad word coming from his mouth. His clothes reflect his image: smartly turned out and waist coated he can range from the classics then swing up to date with a touch of “The Killers”. Based mostly in Los Cristianos at the “Market Tavern”, were Joe and Stewart actually managed to embarrass me last night (I don´t do cuddles), well, not that sort. Check out Tenerife Weekly’s and Coast FM’s Good Gig Guide (below) for further details. Till next time bye, and Joe ‘n’ Stewart, tarra.

P.S. Got to do a write up on Mr Billy Porter. Caught his show last Wednesday at Market Tavern. The guy is a blast, if you are reading this, Billy, get in touch.

SYNOPSIS: Matt King (George Clooney) is a Honolulu-based lawyer and the sole trustee of a family trust that controls 25,000 acres of pristine land on the island of Kaua’i. The trust will expire in seven years because of the rule against perpetuities, so the King family has decided to sell the land to Kaua’i native Don Holitzer for development. Just before family members are ready to formally endorse the deal, which Matt favours, a boating accident near Waikīkī renders Matt’s wife, Elizabeth, comatose. Matt and Elizabeth have two daughters, 10-year-old Scottie (Amara Miller) and 17-year-old Alex (Shailene Woodley). Matt is not very close to his daughters and refers to himself as the “back-up parent.” With Elizabeth in a coma at Queen’s Hospital, he is forced to confront Scottie’s inappropriate behaviour with other children and Alex’s destructive behaviours.

Sharples in Session By John Sharples

WELCOME ABOARD

John Sharples joins the Tenerife Weekly team today for the first time. John hails from Preston in Lancashire and has lived in Wales, Mallorca, Gran Canaria and now resides in north Tenerife after spending 8 years in the south of the Island. His grandfather, Bernard Youens, played “Stan Ogden” in Coronation Street, which is probably why John is in the Entertainment business. In the early 80’s John broke the world record for non-stop disco dancing by dancing for 15 days and 11 hours. The following year, he broke his own record by a further 5 hours. His cabaret show, along with Barry Pugh is called Bitter and Twisted and along with the Decades dancers, he can be seen in the superb “Decades Spectacular” and “Decades goes to Hollywood” in Vivo at Treasure Island. NO! DON’T STOP THE CARNIVAL

Carnival season is now coming to an end once again. In Puerto de la Cruz it is a rollocker of an occasion for all residents, regardless of whether they are British, Spanish or German etc. Everyone gets involved and the events are as varied as anyone could ever expect. It is one hell of a spectacle with live bands from all nations taking part. The streets and bars were rammed! The tradition of men dressing up as women goes back about 400 years. It never ceases to amaze me how young men like dressing up as women! It seems to me that they will plonk on a frock and a wig at the drop of a hat. A few weeks ago, in one of the costume shops, I spotted a large group of lads who were in their early teens. There was much excitement and laughter as they took it in turns to try on the dresses. As I walked past them, I overheard one lad say, “Well all I need now is a pair of tights and some lipstick! I just can’t imagine this happening in the UK. It’s great to see so many people enjoying themselves with hardly a sniff of trouble. I don’t usually join in with the “dressing up bit”. I have to get dragged up for work, so the appeal doesn’t really hit me in the same way. This year, however, I decided to join in. On widow’s night I was dressed in black with 9 inch heels and a ratty old wig. A few days later ….. there I was again, in full regalia, marching through the streets of Puerto de la Cruz with a group of thirty other British people. I decided to abscond from the men’s high heels race. I managed to find a superb

viewing place on my friend’s balcony, which overlooks the finishing post in the “Plaza del Charco”. It was the funniest thing I had seen for a long time. The sight of all these men running on cobbled streets in high heels raised shrieks of laughter from the watching crowds. We had a ball, as you can see by the photographs. Roll on 2013! IT’S A BUYER’S MARKET I am looking to buy a new property this year. The trouble is that there is so much to choose from. Recent figures state that there are over 3,000,000 empty homes in Spain at the moment. 1,000,000 of them are new properties that have never been lived in. The price of homes has fallen dramatically and continues to fall. On top of that, people are making offers for them, which are much lower than the asking price. If ever there was a time to buy, it is now! Well, that is what my taxi driver said last night! And they know everything!

IF YOU CAN’T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM! Titsa buses have recently been building new bus shelters on the TF-1 motorway. At first glance I thought they looked awful. They were very plain, grey, concrete monsters at the side of the road. Then, all of a sudden, as if overnight, they were decorated. They have been given a really snazzy look, using what can best be described as a graffiti design. There are many different colours and they brighten up the otherwise drab roadsides. I suspect that this could be an effort to stop local graffiti vandals from being tempted to scrawl all over them. Whether this will be effective, remains to be seen. I hope it works. I’ve spotted six different designs now and there are more to come. Look out for them when you next travel to Santa Cruz.

John.

Tenerife Weekly - 16th March - 22nd March 2012 COMMUNITY MATTERS

Community matters Written by Ken Cumming Pastor of Callao Salvaje Community Church

Christians must make time for God

It may feel hard for some people to make time for anything else in their lives, but the Archbishop of Canterbury suggests it will be hard to achieve true freedom without setting aside some quiet time with God each day. In a sermon broadcast live on BBC Radio 4 ‘s Sunday Worship, Dr Rowan William considered what it means to be free and how we can

achieve the true freedom “to be what we most deeply are”. “There is no short cut to freedom, because we have to be changed little by little, and we shan’t be changed unless we give the time we need – time when we put aside out usual priorities and try to silence our frantic thinking and imagining,” he said. “Looking quietly at all the clutter that prevents us from seeing ourselves honestly, looking quietly at the ways in which the world we live in muffles the truth and so frustrates the search for justice and love – this isn’t a luxury. “This is how the truth makes us free. Not

free to do what we fancy at any given moment, but free to be real, to be truthful, to be ‘in the truth’, as the New Testament puts it.” After all, what other sort of freedom is finally worth having?” The Archbishop encouraged people to invest daily in their spiritual development. Far from being a “refusal of the world”, the Archbishop argued that silent reflection was the means by which Christians could act in the world “so as to change it effectively because we open the way to God’s own activity”.

International Women’s Day

Last Thursday evening the new square in Callao Salvaje next to the recently completed church was dedicated to International Women’s Day. Celebrating International Women’s Day in Callao Salvaje, Adeje council named the new square Plaza de la Mujer Trabajadora.

Callao Salvaje developers and council representatives sign the official papers with Alcalde José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga and councillor Amada Trujillo Bencomo.

Alcalde José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga and councillor Amada Trujillo Bencomo unveiled the plaque.

The village was well represented with many local people attending as well as “COSMOS”, the local residents association and the two local churches were represented by Father Keith Gordon and myself.

Dementia sufferers remembered in prayer

The National Week of Prayer for Dementia is this week. The week, running from 12 to 19 March, is dedicated to prayer and raising awareness of the condition. “Few of us can imagine the isolation, and consequent anxiety, that this affliction brings both to those who suffer and their families. Daily we meet families who are affected by this situation which can be both emotionally and physically tiring, often 24/7 and with no holiday breaks.

“Through prayer let us ground ourselves in our communion with the Lord, making ourselves one with the many who suffer and those who care for them.” BEING DIFFERENT

Some people seem to think that everyone should be the same: That “different” must mean ‘inferior’. Give me the grace to confront prejudice, lovingly but firmly, To pray for an end to all narrow mindedness And never to believe myself to be less than you have made me.

Your Hair & Beauty advice column by Jade & staff at The Perfect Gift Salon

This season’s hottest hair and beauty trend! The Hair We all love to keep up with the latest fashions, whether it’s with our clothes, shoes, makeup or our hair. Well this season is a particular favourite of mine as its styles have the wow factor without being over the top or silly looking. I particularly love the hair fashions as it can be worn by the young or the more mature alike, and looks great in all colours. It will also suit every face shape. Your hair stylist will cut your hair in the best shape to suit your features, which can be very flattering, and they will then dye it with YOUR choice of colours. The

bolder the contrast of colours, the more eye catching your new look will be, so work with your stylist to get that wow factor. Don’t be afraid to let your stylist go wild with the tones. If you have dark hair use a really light colour to go with it, and if you are normally fair or blond, you could choose from an array of colours, from red, burgundy, blue, black or any rich shade that will work really well together. Don’t forget that the two tones will look great on long and short styles. The Vajazzle I think by now that we have all heard of T.O.W.I.E and what all the girls are raving about, and that is vajazzling! Although the original vajazzles are gener-

ally placed in the private areas of the ladies body, they can also be put anywhere that you want to add a special twinkle. The vajazzles are great fun and there are lots of designs to choose from. Now that the warmer weather is here and we are baring more skin, why not be unique with a sparkle of your own. The beautician would place them on the skin with body glue and they should, if you’re careful, last about a week or so. The lashes. As I mentioned in last week’s column, long thick lashes are an absolute must in the fashion world, and the Hollywood lashes

look fantastic on the eyes. Your beautician would place each lash to your own with permanent glue, which should last at least 3 months with a few in-fills. There are different lengths to choose from and your beautician will advise you on which is most suitable. You can go as thick and long as you wish, but I often advise my clients to start on a medium length and go longer and thicker as you get used to them.

How to maintain a healthy weight

1) Feast and famine. Someone once recounted how he would eat virtuously during the week, then pig out at the weekends on fat-laden and calorific foods. He would look forward to and, indeed, plan the weekend feast. Perhaps th-is is an extreme example, but one that rings guilty bells with some of us. Those who do this are more likely to regain any weight lost on a diet, whereas if you eat consistently every day, you are more likely to stay slim. 2) Fat-free clothes. There are many people with fluctuating waistlines who would confess to having ‘fat’ clothes and ‘thin’ clothes. If you’ve lost weight and the ‘fat’ clothes no longer fit, get rid of them. It doesn’t matter if you’ve only worn them once, if you keep your ‘fat’ clothes, you’re just allowing yourself to put the weight back on because you’ll have something else to slip into

3) Eat properly at the table. Eating your meal sat in front of the computer is as bad as eating in front of the telly. You’re more likely to gain weight because you continue to snack. 4) Don’t buy food in bulk. According to researchers at Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab, the greater

the quantity of food we buy, the more we will eat. They claim that 50% of the snack foods bought in bulk are consumed within 6 days.

5) Don’t force yourself to eat everything on your plate. We’ve been brought up to not leave food on the plate and it’s a practice we pass on to our children. However, when you start to feel full, you should stop. If you consistently feel full and there’s still food left over, you know you have to decrease portion size. Babies and small children are very good at knowing when they are full (although it can be hard to tell as an adult whether they are just playing up.) However, as we grow up and, if we are used to eating to overfilling, then our sensations of initial fullness become dampened. In some parts of Japan, the people routinely eat until they are 80% full and no more.

6) Break before dessert. Try to get into the habit of stopping after a meal, perhaps to clear away, before deciding whether you really need pudding. If you are full, the dessert could be eaten later when you can appreciate it better. But if you go straight from main meal into pudding, you are hardly leaving time for the brain to receive ‘fullup’ signals from the stomach. 7) The older you get, the harder it is to lose weight. This could be down the fact that as we age, we start to lose muscle. As each pound of muscle burns 50 calories

while at rest, it’s sensible to try to maintain that by exercising. If you do a rapid weightloss diet, you will lose some muscle, as well as water and fat. However, once you start eating as normal, you gain more fat and the muscle is harder to regain. 8) Reverse your meals. Eat a hearty breakfast, a good lunch and a pauper’s dinner. 9) Have yoghurt and cheese. Researchers in Denmark discovered that consuming high-calcium dairy products helped you lose fat. One theory put forward is that the calcium combines with the fat, this cannot be absorbed in the intestines so is excreted out of the body in the faeces. Not everyone upholds this theory, and a study in Perth, Australia is currently underway

to see if taking a dairy supplement would help with weight loss. This is the first study being undertaken exclusively on overweight people as almost all previous research was done on lean subjects. In the meantime, you could try the dairy fat-loss theory yourself, although low-fat is best if you are aiming for fat loss.

THE GAIA APOTHECARY QUALIFIED MEDICAL HERBALIST THE LOWER RESPIRATORY SYSTEM by Meg Glaister Garlic honey is also very effective. Chop 4 cloves of garlic and cover with 100ml of runny honey. Leave overnight to macerate then strain off the juice. Take a teaspoonful as often as required. A syrup is a good way for children to take herbs. These can be made the same way as garlic honey using 30gr of dried herb. Take 1 tablespoon 3 to 6 times a day or 1 to 2 teaspoonfuls 3 to 4 times a day for children. Syrups will keep indefinitely in a dark place. Thyme or hyssop are good syrups to keep in your cupboard to be used at the first signs of coughs and colds. Mango juice will help ease a dry irritating

A cough is nature’s way of cleansing the air passages and should not be suppressed. There are many herbs to help the body to heal itself and clear away the cause of the irritation. Not all herbs are available at the Herbalarios in Tenerife so I will tell you the herbs which are available and their Spanish names in brackets. A dry, irritating, hacking cough can develop from an infection in the nose or throat or be caused by pollution in the air such as smoke and dust. An Infection in the lungs can lead to bronchitis or pneumonia if left untreated

therefore, it is important to start the treatment as soon as possible. Make an infusion of 15gr Echinacea (equinacea) 10gr hyssop (hisopo) and 5gr thyme (tomillo) in 500ml hot water. Take 60ml 4 to 6 times a day. Echinacea is excellent for fighting infections. Hyssop and thyme are expectorants which will loosen and expel mucus with antiviral and antibacterial properties. Thyme is also an antispasmodic which reduces spasms in the chest. If there is a fever add 10 gr of elder (sauco) and 10 gr of lime flowers (tila) to the infusion.

Sexy Lingerie Line

Darling Buds

by Dita Von Teese

Dita Von Teese has always been known for her 50s style look and sensual burlesque performances, and now she’s putting all that sex appeal into a new line of lingerie. Having formerly modelled lingerie for some of the best fashion designers like Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier, she knows what it takes to make those garments sell. Currently, her Von Follies line of vintage inspired pieces including stockings, over-wire bras, high waisted briefs, garter belts, and chemises, became available exclusively in Target Australia stores starting earlier this month. The inspiration for the Von Follies line came from Dita’s long fascination with lingerie, her own personal collection, and her experience working in a lingerie store. “From age 16 I worked in a lingerie store, and I had a very strong interest in the history of underpinnings and how styles changed from decade to decade. Even at age sixteen, I wanted to be a lingerie expert, so I did everything I could to learn about it! I started collecting vintage lingerie at a young age, and my love for it is what led me to imitate pinup art of the 1940s, and that is what sparked my career as it is now.” It was also important to Dita that the line be for women of all shapes and sizes but still remain glamorous, sophisticated and feminine. Accentuating a woman’s curves and silhouette was a big part of the design of the pieces, something she has become faThe Retro Look mous for doby Dita Von Teese ing herself.

cough, especially at bedtime. If any infection persists it is always best to seek professional advice. There are many more herbs that are stronger, but are not available in the Herbalarios. Any long standing disease needs to be treated properly by a qualified person as everyone is different and will need different treatment.

WILDE’S WORLD

Another issue and another look into the weird and more unusual news stories of the week.

Lost in the Every little Bizzare Boots A German designer has created a bizarre paperwork helps new range of shoes - from dead animal

tanner to be preserved. The sculptor then sets the skin - complete with fur still in place - around a shoe model before doing any needlework to add insoles and lining. She said: “I love horses and I love shoes so I thought this would be perfect. Horses have a beautiful walk and I wanted to recreate that with my footwear. “Once the shoes are made I wear them to make sure they work, although they would not be suitable to wear around the house.” Perhaps better down on the farm or even at the races..

Hope everyone is ok and enjoying the weather, this weeks look at some of the more unusal news stories starts with the uk and the weather. With a couple of weeks before the official british summertime kicks in already seven water companies covering south-east England and East Anglia have annonced Hosepipe bans. With the driest start to the year in over 100 years water restrictions are already in place. Not to unusal you may say as it happens almost every year but... Advice is always given on saving water,The Environment Agency are asking householders to do far more beyond the “hosepipe ban”. Shower instead of bath saves water but wait for it, “Pee in the shower”. Yes householders are now being asked to help conserve our natural resourses by going while you wash. You can save a minimum of 58 gallons of water per year, per person in your household by just peeing in the shower once a day instead of the toilet, mindblowing new meaning to “Wash and go”on with the rest of the news.

A shortage of a different kind has hit the capital of New Jersey this week after a budget stalemate between the mayor and the city council. Trenton Mayor Tony Mack says the city council have refused to budge with suppliers over an order after refusing to pay $4000 for paper cups. Although now the cups have been deleted from the order the city council will not sign the $42,000 contract for any more of the paper suppliers delivery, already leaving supplies in government buildings including City hall seriously low. The mayor went on to say there will be none left at all in the city by March 16th unless the expense is approved. Perhaps they could recycle instead of shredding.

Its slogan may be ‘every little helps’ but it seems a Tesco discount on Apple’s latest iPad was just too good to be true. A glitch on the Tesco Direct website offered the new Apple tablet for only £49.99 – a 90 per cent discount on the recommended retail price of around £500. Hundreds of shoppers raced to buy the iPad Wi-fi 4G 64GB black model, which was advertised on the supermarket’s site tuesday evening. At one point the website crashed, Tesco Direct then caught wind of the error and suspended transactions cancelling purchases and refunding any money paid. In October last year Tesco stores were besieged by bargain hunters after a computer glitch saw Terry’s Chocolate Oranges sold for 29p each. Another publicity stunt i thinks....

Ms Schieferstein, who designed a pair of horse hooves for Lady Gaga, sells the shoes for up to £3,900. She collects the dead animals from her local butcher in Berlin, then spends a week stripping out the meat and bones from the animal’s feet before the skin is sent to a

And finally ... Residents of a North Yorkshire seaside town have been left bemused after a 50m long knitted ‘scarf’ featuring scenes from the Olympics appeared overnight. The woolly figures have mysteriously appeared on the Victorian pier in Saltburn - created by an unknown knitter or knitters. The scarf, which is attached to the pier’s railings, incorporates a number of Olympic disciplines. Carefully rendered knitted figures, taking

Men Are From Mars In a recent study in Psychology Today entitled “Love without Trust Is Not Love At All” It suggested the following: Trust is an essential part of love. In fact, love without trust is not love at all. We give to the person we love a special access to us as human beings. We entrust to them our minds, our hearts, and our souls. How a partner handles that trust is no small thing. In fact, how a partner handles that trust determines the success, (or the failure) of every love relationship. Unsurprisingly the majority of replies to the blog were from women, not that men have less feelings, they just tend to express them badly in public forums! One woman wrote: Wow! For (at least some) women, they give their trust to men who do not deserve it. [And conversely, they fail to give their trust to men who do deserve it.] Where as a man wrote regarding his love of baseball and his lack of understanding as to why his wife believed he loved his game more than her. The reason, he came back from his game late 3 times in a row. He failed to see that his tardiness made her believe it was more important to him than her. His actions outweighed his words! This is probably one of the reasons that the best-selling novel ‘Men are from Mars, women are from Venus’ by

Police say the culprit is proberbly following a pattern, Catch more Wildes World next week or every saturday 12 till 3 only on Coast fm

John Gray was exactly that, although it is unlikely that it was the men that bought it. Men tend to be very simple creatures, feed me, love me, be happy and I will be too. However this isn’t necessarily the case. Following the era of metro sexual man, and things like male grooming, men found a more sensitive side which could be freely explored. Conversations rose up between friends regarding feeling rather than just football. Whether they had realised it or not, fellas let home life and work life problems get to them just as much as the women. And a revolution in a generation, now gave them the platform they needed to be open……..

With mates!!!

Sharing the information between the male/female divide however was a different story. Even if the problem troubling man was one of emotional content, to share this with woman would require trust, and being the simple creature he is, trust could only come from love (for fear of looking stupid). Being a bloke, I think some of these quotes from Dr Joyce Brothers may make it simpler for other blokes to follow, and also help the women who struggle daily to put things into words for their fellas.

“Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.” “The best proof of love is trust.” “Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means that you’ve become a comfortable, trusted element in

I could replace all of these sayings with the titles of some wonderful moments in music from some masters of comedy who could have lived here. Always look on the bright side of life: Monty python Don’t worry, be happy: Bobby McFerrin Smile: Charlie Chaplin The best things in life are free: (OK so that’s Janet Jackson)….. Till next week DM. As regular readers of my columns will be aware, I don’t normally do the copy and paste thing, I do always try to be honest with my opinions and generally speaking, what I write about is the things that have affected my week. This week has seen old conflicts from past discussion raise their heads again, from peoples worth being disrespected to former occupants of our little island being defamatory about Tenerife since they left. Despite the fact it was very kind to them in their time here. All of this I have covered before, so I thought that this week I would, instead “share the love” or repair it for those who have, in these difficult times, lost a little faith or trust in their reasons for being together. On a more sombre note, This week 2 gentleman were taken from us, both passed too soon, both always had a smile and a cheer in their hearts. Neither were family to me, but it would have been a privilege to have been so. Both left with dignity, both will be missed by the people whose lives they touched. I hope that when my time comes, I am remembered as they are to me…. Always in our thoughts, David and Jim.

‘Who’s the daddy?’

Calders Confessions Calder spent twelve years working as PA and Co-presenter with Jeremy Kyle on various radio stations and has now joined the team at Coast FM where he answers listeners´dilemmas each Sunday night on the airwaves. We are also very grateful to have him here, answering your questions and queries as part of the Tenerife Weekly team. If you have an issue you can`t overcome or just need general help and confidential advice, why not email Calder: calder@ coastfmtenerife.com

I had an affair around the time I got pregnant, but I never thought it could have been the other guy’s baby as we always used contraception. My daughter is now 2 years old and is starting look like the other man. I’m worried that my boyfriend isn’t her dad, but I don’t want to hurt him. Should I come clean? Jayne

Shouldn’t you have thought about your boyfriends feelings a few years ago or am I missing the point here? To be perfectly honest, I would be more concerned about your daughter. Isn’t it only right and proper for her to know who here real father is? You should speak to your GP and see what the options are in terms of having a DNA test carried out. Of course that means you’re going to have to face the music somewhere along the line but what other choice do you have? Think about it, if these nagging doubts are bothering you now, ten years into the future they’ll be a hundred times worse. You made a mistake and you’re just going to have face that Jayne. Ultimately, there are three people this affects, your daughter, your boyfriend and the guy you jumped into bed with. They all deserve to know the truth don’t they? If I were you, I’d sort this out sooner rather than later because until you do, its just going to eat away at you.

‘I want my friend back’ I have tried so desperately to get my friend to talk to me. We had a huge falling out a few years ago and we haven’t talked since, but we had been friends since we were kids. She ignores my texts, email and letters. I have even been to her house, but her husband wouldn’t let me see her. Do I move on? I really do miss her terribly. Wendy Perhaps one of the hardest things in life is knowing when to quit Wendy. Right now anything and everything you do seems to push your friend yet

‘I want my own home’

I’ve been renting from the council for 6 years now, ever since I moved out of home. All I want in life is my own home to look after but I don’t think I’ll ever get it. My boyfriend is useless and doesn’t work half the time. I do my best to get all the overtime my job will give me but it’s no use. Life is just never going to treat me right. Ariana Good things come to those who wait Ariana. The current economic climate doesn’t exactly favour first time buyers but that’s not to say its impossible. As you obviously know, first and fore-

further away so maybe its time to give up and see if she comes to you? There’s no way on earth you will ever be able to change the way she feels, only she can do that. I know its hard and its obvious that you miss her but the more you pester her, the more you’ll alienate her. If you stop all contact and she doesn’t come back to you, at least you’ll be able to draw a curtain over that part of your own life and move on. You’ve spent two years worrying about this so whatever happens, you know yourself its time to put an end to it most, you do need a deposit. In that respect, its a long hard slog of scrimping and saving but, ultimately its worth it. As for your boyfriend? Its down to you to decide what to do but if you both have different hopes and dreams for the future, you may well need to rethink the relationship. Have you spoken to him properly about this? Maybe sitting down one night and outlining what you’re trying to do will open his eyes to the fact that you seriously need his help. All you can do is try and I know that one of the hardest things in life is being true to yourself but that’s exactly what you need to do if you want to turn your dream into a reality.

ALTERNATIVE HEALING - l

More and more people are looking for alternative methods of pain relief and cures from disease. Whilst modern medicine has its place, it has always fought disease with some kind of pill. More and more women struggling with their lives are prescribed anti depressant drugs and other forms of tranquilizers. Our pain is literally lining the pharmaceutical company’s pockets. There has always been other ways to help our bodies heal, but as a human race, we look for a quick fix and someone else to take responsibility, and change things for us. Actually, we all have the power to heal ourselves from any disease. I have a friend who had a tumour the size of a golf ball in her leg. Annabel was given months to live, but decided not to listen to what t h e medical profession had to say. Finding out about her disease was her first port of call, then she decided not to acknowledge it. Her diet changed and she developed a plan. One afternoon she decided she would make a small business card with her picture on it, and the words… “Annabel

is getting better and better each day…Please forward this on and email who you are and where in the world you are.” This card was

given to friends and acquaintances, and more to anyone who would hold it read it and pass it on. At home, in her kitchen, she had a map of the world and every time someone contacted her, she would put a pin in the place where the cards reached. Keeping a very positive attitude, meditating on her body being healthy, changing her diet and looking after herself, bit by bit she recovered. Doctors were mystified at how, with each scan, the golf ball got smaller and smaller until it disappeared altogether. Annabel was given a clean bill of health, months later and the doctors were mystified, concluding they had made a mistake somewhere, as they could not believe the miracle that had happened. So what happened with Annabel really? Well firstly, she took responsibility for her health, changing her diet to non- cancerous foods, feeding herself on optimum foods for her body to regenerate itself. Taking the time to sit with her disease, and decide not to accept it in her mind that her body was ill, she found the strength to make a plan. Meeting alternative healers and get-

ting treatments whenever she could helped, and the card she invented, went around the world and was in many homes, and the power of the written word in thousands of people’s minds, helped the universe work with Annabel. Imagine that every time someone got that card, and read the message….Annabel is getting better and better, so many people saying that phrase worldwide affected the collective consciousness and Annabel did indeed get better. This is a true story and one that the doctors could not work out. So, we have the power to heal ourselves. There are so many alternative methods of working with our bodies these days, and some are ancient ways passed down from one generation to the next. Whilst there may be some wonderful technical advances in health these days; there are so many traditional ways to help your self also. In this country and so many others, more and more people are training themselves to help others in non invasive ways. For example, Chinese Medicine, Herbs, Aromatherapy, Medical and spiritual massage, Energy work, Colour, Sound, Reiki, are all ways of helping the body heal. As an Ascension Coach I work on an energetic level with my clients to find the pain and then the source of the pain. Releasing it, on an energetic level, releases the blockage and allows the body to heal. All pain held in our body is by thoughts and experiences we have had. Giving us a red flag to deal with it. When we heal the emotional attachment to the situations, that have caused the pain in our body, then our body responds and the pain disappears. I am available for one to one sessions.

Weekly Horoscopes

Aries - Mar 21 - Apr 19

Mercury turns retrograde in your sign - which doesn’t mean you’’’ slow down or walk backwards! It probably says something about the need to review a relationship. Is it possible you’ve called ‘quits’ too early or that you’re being guided by an expert who’s not actually moving you forwards? It’s just possible you might effect a u-turn on Monday. Of course, another possibility is that you’ll click with someone new altogether. Whatever, it’s through a union that it appears you’ll stabilise and at last feel confident True, there may still be several hurdles to overcome - this week though you should feel as though you have the right ‘army’ around you. One proviso - the attractions of luxury may be irresistible - take care you don’t over-spend around the last quarter Moon.

Taurus - Apr 20 - May 20 True, a series of apparently positive aspects focused on your sign suggest you could make breakthroughs (experience luck?) this week. It’s as likely though that you’ll be closing a chapter and declaring your intention to move on. If you’ve been awaiting the ‘perfect’ moment to break a habit, then the time may be now. Certainly it seems you won’t be short on support if you do need to face big challenges. It’s the big issues - life, death, and the meaning of it all which may have much of your attention - which includes thoughts on legacies and the area to which you feel you belong. It might even be that you plan a journey directly connected to these thoughts. If there is a proviso it’s that your imagination could run riot - which might not be helpful.

Gemini - May 21 - June 20

You may have been resistant to technology in the past but now find you have a fascination - or that you simply have to learn new skills. With Mercury retrograde this issue is unlikely to go away. It may well prove easier to accept the assistance of someone more familiar than you are with these things and start training (or purchase the items) you need. At many levels it seems you’ll be reaching out. Of course, it could be that you’re being pushed by someone who’s decided you’re using displacement activity to avoid dealing with certain matters. Truth - what it is and how it’s told - could play on your mind greatly making it important that you read documents extra carefully and take a good witness with you if you attend key meetings.

Cancer - June 21 - July 22

This could prove a week to remember! Not only might your social life expand but you could find yourself in considerable professional demand - and mainly because others are talking about your special gifts (crisis management skills?!). With Mercury now retrograde (and so going back over degrees it’s covered in the last couple of weeks), you may find others turn to you to help resolve issues that have developed because decisions were taken in too big a hurry in the first place. And yes, you could feel empowered. Fabulous as all this might sound, it could all prove too much - a feast when all you really needed was a decent meal. So don’t be surprised if you conclude the working week depleted in energy. Perhaps you could then allow others to nurture you instead of the other way round (They may be looking for the opportunity).

Leo - July 23 - Aug 22

Mercury starts a retrograde period in another of the Fire signs and yes, there may be moments when you feel you’ve lost a little sizzle. This is, perhaps, the cosmos’ way of asking you to accept a different pace. So very much can be achieved in the next few days - and all of it practical, grounded and of long-term benefit. Yes, there will be snags along the way, but effort put in now should ensure these don’t sabotage the work you’ve put in this far. True, you may be asked to think bigger and out of your comfort zone and yes, you could come across someone who is even more determined than you can be. The art may be to let their energy propel things along and save your fire for when it’s needed toward the end of the month.

Virgo - Aug 23 - Sept 22 Your ruling planet is now retrograde in one of the Fire signs - and it may be someone born under Aries, Leo or Sagittarius who effects a change of heart or adopts a new pace and thus makes life so much easier for you. There is a sense in which it seems you’re building up to something big in time for the last Quarter Moon on 15th. This may have been in the pipeline for a couple of years. This then may be make or break time. Recall that Neptune has now begun its long, slow movement through your opposite sign and that this will have some effect on your natural creativity. At one level you may feel you’ve lost impetus in fulfilling a dream. It’s as likely that you’re ready to explore new ones. What you suggest at the beginning of the week may have real ‘legs’.

Libra - Sept 23 - Oct 22

Mercury is now retrograde in your opposite sign - which might mean that others come round to ideas you’ve been incubating over the last year but which, as yet, they haven’t adopted. With a rare grand trine forming in the sky within hours of the Last Quarter Moon on Thursday, it’s also possible that a little luck will head your way. Something you’ve written may have had bigger impact than you’d imagined. It might also be that you’re offered a travel opportunity that really is too good to miss. A further possibility is that a partner will have very good news to share. Your business brain may be tested to the full. Perhaps it’s time for you to give greater thought to long-term investments and pension-planning? And then there’s activity on the domestic front which seems to involve moving furniture and space-clearing.

Scorpio - Oct 23 - Nov 21 As you may know, those of your sign seem sensitive to the cycles of both Mars and Pluto. This week those two planets are a third of a cycle apart (traditionally seen as a ‘good’ thing). More than that, they are configured with both Venus and Jupiter and with a Last Quarter Moon - all of which suggests that this could prove one amazing week. There’s even the possibility of experiencing good fortune through others - and in, perhaps, a rather unexpected way. Someone whom you may have thought of as doing little could pull the proverbial rabbit from the hat - and just in time. Though you may sense that not everything has been sufficiently well thought through, what transpires suggests recovery - even if that means (in the short term) drastic action. With your energy levels high, you might also feel emboldened to take risks that a week ago would have seemed foolhardy.

Sagittarius - Nov 22 - Dec21

Last week’s Last Quarter Moon (Thursday 15th) is in your sign. It might be worth thinking back to your birthday period in 2009 and reviewing all that’s happened since then. Are you now ready for the next stage? Might it be that your financial circumstances have now changed considerably and that it’s time to review long-term plans? It could be that through a partner or relative there are more decisions to be made (specifically in how you look after a legacy or inheritance). Joint financial matters seem certain to command attention. With Mercury now retrograde in another of the Fire sign you might also review the way in which you approach risk. With what appears to be a ‘lucky break’ being offered, thinking carefully about how you can build security could be high priority. In this respect, and not for the first time, those born under Taurus and Libra may have significant roles to play.

Capricorn - Dec 22 - Jan 19

Though domestic disruption may have started some weeks ago, it seems there’s more to come and that until mid-April you may not know where you are from day to day. That might also be true at work. And yet, in both areas it seems progress is being made. This week the implications of recent successes should be apparent. You may find too - that as was the case a couple of weeks ago - there are choices for you to make. True, you might not get fully into your stride on these new projects until the Sun enters Taurus on 20th of next month. This week though it shouldn’t be hard to experience a feeling of quiet satisfaction - with just the possibility of something to celebrate midweek. It wouldn’t be surprising if this involved a partnership arrangement.

Aquarius - Jan 19 - Feb18 Mercury is now retrograde - and in a Fire sign. You may find that the energy others appeared to have available last week is now sizzling a little - perhaps even in danger of dying out. Maybe they feel practicalities are too much for them to handle? Your help and advice might not just be welcomed but even listened to. Tempting as it may be to smooth their path as much as possible, you perhaps need to leave them to find their feet - which could take until Mercury stations early next month. In the interim, real progress could be made with a property matter. This looks as though it’s far more than the usual spring-cleaning and decorating needs for this time of year - and more to do with your need to have your environment express a new ‘you’.

Pisces - Feb 19 - Mar20

Some truly amazing aspects occur this week - coinciding with the Last Quarter Moon - and which highlights career issues. So yes, you could reach a turning point. Given that Mercury is now retrograde it’s possible you’ll be asked back to a place to help out. Though financially this might seem a good thing, it could also be a distraction. (It probably depends on the time line). The good news is that others clearly want you on their team. It may be that keeping these contacts in good shape is of long-term value. Any financial bonus isn’t to be disregarded either. The art may be to find ways of keeping other pots on the fire still simmering. Here you might need help - and perhaps from a Sagittarius who believes in you and your plans.

Pets’ Corner This Week With Waggytails

Welcome to the cute and fuzzy section of the Tenerife Weekly where we talk about all things animal! Remember that you can send your photos and funny stories to me! The pet section also offers information from Karen at the Accion del Sol Refuge and the staff at El Madroñal Veterinary Surgery.

My name is Steph and some of you may have heard me on Coast FM each Thursday when I try to find good homes for fantastic pets. Each week this page will be filled with both useful and entertaining information to keep you up to date with the world of pets here in the Canaries.

Well OIL be blown! The Little

When it comes to drilling for oil in the harsh and unpredictable Arctic, Shell has gone to the dogs, it seems, a dachshund and two border collies to be specific. The dogs’ ability to sniff out oil spills beneath snow and ice has been tested and paid for by Shell – and other oil companies and government research organisations –

in preparation for the industry’s entry into the forbidding Arctic terrain. The company hopes to begin drilling for oil off the northwest coast of Alaska in June. However, the campaign group Greenpeace said dachshund sniffer dogs were not the answer. “The idea that small dogs can track leaking oil deep under the Arctic pack ice in the middle of winter is absurd,” said Ben Ayliffe, Arctic campaigner for Greenpeace. “The fact that they are paying good money to seriously use this as an option shows how much they are scrabbling around for a solution.” It’s another interesting concept...let’s see if it takes off!

Acción del Sol’s weekly news

This beautiful 10 year old cockier spaniel was picked up last week on the streets of Arona, what a shame , such a gorgeous dog. I’m sure she can tell a tale or two as to why she ended up unloved and uncared for, her coat matter and riddled with fleas. Shes now on the road to recovery at Acción Del Sol and is seeking a new loving home where she can enjoy her twilight years free of pain and suffering. Acción Del Sols staff work very hard every day to care for the many refuge dogs , there duties include to name but a few, feeding, collecting the dog mess, which is taken to the legal site PIRS for disposal, cleaning the kennels with specialist wash / vac machines to insure a clean and sterile environment for the dogs to live in, socialising the many dogs so they can live in very small groups, showing visitors around, washing and grooming, assisting the vets and much much more. All these jobs are very important, if animal welfare is not done in a correct or good way then the dogs will suffer and the dogs will get very sick in a very short time, especially with Tenerifes high temperatures and the infections that calimas bring. Imagine the task of giving every dog in the refuge there monthly flea and heart worm treatment which is vital for the welfare of the dogs. The water used at the refuge for cleaning is recycled to water the many plants at the refuge. All there products used for cleaning are environmentally friendly. Chiquito is a 1 year old male dog and Nieve is a 2 and a half month old female dog, both of them are looking for a new loving home. If you do have any spare time please do go and help at the refuge whether its walking a dog or two , playing with the puppies or just to visit the refuge. Acción Del Sol is open Monday - Friday 3-6pm or call 922 778 630 for more information.

Dogs’ Home

Busy busy as usual at The Little Dogs’ Home where they now house almost 30 unwanted and abandoned dogs.

The two little Shih Tzus are doing well and now that they are free of the matts and fleas they are happy as anything! However, in spite of they’re tireless efforts Chris, Babs and Brod could benefit from another pair of hands and so if you are at a loos end why not spare a few hours to help at the refuge. They can be called on 672 917 193.

but the curly French parsley (Petroselinum crispum) is the most popular in the garden because of its decorative foliage. The leaves are tufted and finely cut with serrated or toothed edges and wrinkled surfaces. Italian, or plain-leafed, parsley (P. c. var. filicinurn) is more favoured by many cooks because it has more flavour than French parsley, but the latter reigns supreme as a garnish for many different foods. The 15-30cm plants are biennial flowering in their second year but most gardeners treat them as annuals, starting anew from seeds each year. Grow parsley in sun-filtered shade or morning sun and afternoon shade, and in partially moist soil that is moderately rich. Buy small plants of parsley from the nursery, or sow seeds where they are to grow in December through May for Tenerife’s mild winters. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before planting as they usually take several weeks to sprout. Sew seedlings 6 to 8 inches apart. This herb is a favourite so you will probably want a quantity of plants. Parsley is used fresh as a garnish, and fresh or dried in many different foods such as vegetables, meats, stews, casseroles, salads, soups, and eggs. Harvest the leaves before the plants flower: once the flower spikes form, the leaves become bitter tasting.

Rosemary Plant: perennial Height: 0.6-2m Soil: dry, poor, well drained Exposure: sun Propagation: seeds, cuttings As our winters are mild enough, rosemary is an outstanding shrub-

by perennial for permanent landscape use. There are several varieties of Rosmarinus officinalis that grow between 60cm - 2m high (depending on variety) and can be used for ground covers and hedges. The leaves of all varieties are narrow and needle-like (similar to pine needles) and are glossy green on the top and a lighter, grey-green underneath. Their aroma is resinous and pine-like. Small clusters of light lavender-blue flowers 30cm wide cover the foliage in summer and spring, although you nearly always will find a few flowers throughout the rest of the year. With age, the stems become woody and gnarled, giving plants a rugged appearance. The variety ‘Trostratus’ is the lowest growing to about 60cm and makes an excellent ground cover or low hedge. Its branches twist and curve and will gracefully spill over a wall or creep around rocks. Rigid, upright branches and darker blue flowers are typical of ‘Tuscan Blue’. The varieties ‘Collingwood Ingram’ and ‘Lockwood de Forest’ both have bluer flowers than the species and are lower growing. Rosemary will endure hot sun and poor soil, as long as it is well drained. In very hot climates, it requires little water once it is established. It responds well to container culture and can be grown indoors. Use the leaves fresh or dried with chicken, meats (especially lamb), stews, and vegetables. A tea can also be brewed from them. Use a branch of rosemary as a brush for applying barbecue sauce to chicken and burn sprigs in the coals just before the chicken is done—the smoke will impart rosemary’s characteristic flavour to the meat.

Oregano Plant: perennial, Height: 60-80cm Soil: average, well drained Exposure: sun Propagation: seeds, cuttings Oregano—also known as wild marjoram—is closely related to sweet marjoram. It is also a perennial and grows to about 60-80cm. The leaves are rounded and come to a blunt point at the tip, but often are larger and coarser than those of sweet marjoram and have a darker green colour. Small, purplish pink blossoms grow at the ends of the stems. Oregano is shrubby and tends to spread by invasive underground stems. Oregano grows in well drained, good garden soil where plants receive full sun.

It requires routine watering. Like sweet marjoram, the flowers should be kept cut back to encourage bushiness and thick foliage. It makes a good container plant but should be replaced about every 3 years when it becomes woody. Grow new plants from seeds or by dividing an established plant. The leaves have a sharper flavour than sweet marjoram and taste a little of thyme. Use them fresh or dried in the same foods you would marjoram or thyme, especially Italian and Spanish or Mexican dishes.

Welcome to Karoline’s Kitchen This week we are celebrating all that is “Irish” with St Patricks Day on 17th March (also my birthday). I am starting off with a great recipe for traditional

Soda Bread

4 cups all-purpose flour 4 tablespoons white sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup margarine, softened 1 cup buttermilk (See recipe for buttermilk below) 1 egg 1/4 cup butter, melted 1/4 cup buttermilk Preheat oven to 190 C. Lightly grease a large baking sheet. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt and

soda bread; this is surprisingly simple and has great results. Perfect served with a lovely Irish stew or with some strong Irish cheddar melted over it. This recipe contains buttermilk and I have included an easy to

margarine. Stir in 1 cup of buttermilk and egg. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead slightly. Form dough into a round and place on prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, combine melted butter with 1/4 cup buttermilk; brush loaf with this mixture. Use a sharp knife to cut an ‘X’ into the top of the loaf. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean, about 30 to 50 minutes. You may continue to brush the loaf with the butter mixture while it bakes. How to make your own buttermilk 1 Cup whole milk 1 tbsp Cream of tartar (cremor tartaro) or lemon juice Add cream of tartar or lemon juice to the milk Stir and allow it to stand at room temperature for about 15 minutes. When milk starts to curdle, stir well. Buttermilk is ready to use

make recipe for this. My next recipe is a Corned Beef Pizza; ideal for soaking up a many pints of the black stuff that I am sure will be consumed on this traditional celebration.

Have a great week cooking and if you have any recipes that you wish to share or any tips or family cheats then get in touch by email on; karoline@tenerifeweekly.es Until next time,

Karoline Shovlar

Corned Beef Pizza

1/4 of shredded green cabbage, shredded 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon salt Pinch of freshly ground black pepper 1 bought pizza crust 1/4lb thinly sliced corned beef grated mozzarella cheese Preheat the oven to high. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray. In a frying pan, sauté the cabbage in the olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until it is soft. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and remove from the heat. Place the pizza crust on the baking sheet. Spoon the sautéed cabbage onto the crust and spread it out evenly to within half an inch of the edge. Arrange the corned beef slices over the cabbage.

Sprinkle the cheese on top of the corned beef. Bake the pizza for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is thoroughly melted and the pizza is nice and hot. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. And finally why not join the masses and pour yourself a glass of stout, sit back and enjoy the craic!

Dublin Coddle

Proper all day Irish Breakfast.

Serves: 4 Ingredients: 10 Pork Sausages 10 Bacon rashers 1 Carrot 4 Large boiling potatoes 1 large onion. (cut in quarters) 1/2 Leek 2 Sticks of Celery 2pts Chicken Stock Fresh Thyme Curly Parsley. Barley. (I used quarter of the bag) Salt Pepper The only day of the year I can drink from morning to night (or at least until I am poured into the car and taken home) last year I made it to 7.38 am. Anyway why all the commotion well for a start the cult arrives on or about the 12th

Sangria

Our own Special Recipe, Fresh and fruity always a favourite. Ingredients: 3 CL Banana liqueur 3 CL Triple seco 3 CL Vodka

and all I hear is Coddle Coddle Coddle..... The 2 Toney’s swear by it, “3 bowls of Coddle a day keeps the hang over at bay”. And just in case I always keep some for the 18th for them. Now to the cooking put everything in a bowl and stew until the barley and the potatoes are cooked “Pew” how hard was that. Now you know how I spend my Paddy’s morning , time for a Green Pint..... Happy

Paddy’s Day..

3 CL Brandy 3 CL Honey rum 3 CL White rum 45CL Red wine 15CL White lemonade 15CL Fizzy orange Fresh Fruit salad with syrup Lots of Ice

Goats Cheese Bruschetta

A restaurant favourite.

Serves: 4 Crusty Bread Pesto Chopped Tomatoes Goats Cheese Balsamic Vinegar Ingredients: Pesto 50g Fresh curly leaf parsley 100g Garlic 10g Freshh Basil 150ml Olive Oil Endorsement: I recommend before you try this drink, you get a group of friends together. Gather all the ingredients. If you have trouble finding anything remember this is the Casa Tres recipe, yours may be better but I doubt it! Though perfecting your version will be so

10 Black Peppercorns 15g Salt Instructions: A light Snack or Lunch. Firstly we have to make Pesto. This recipe differs from tradition as I do not include pine nuts. My Second Chef Dannii has a allergy. But in this concentrated form is a versatile dressing with many uses. Pick the parsley removing as much stalk as possible to arrive with the required amount of leaves (50g). Blend with all the other ingredients until smooth. The pesto when made will last in a fridge for a month and can be diluted with Olive oil to taste ( keep the relish covered with oil each time you remove any). Coat Slices of fresh crusty bread with Pesto and grill, top with chopped tomatoes and again toast, Cover with goats cheese and melt. Serve with crisp lettuce drizzled with Balsamic vinegar.

much fun, with the right people it adds to a perfect day.

49 JK Rowling’s “Pottermore” Website Will Launch In Full In Early April Tenerife Weekly - 16th March - 22nd March 2012 TECHNOPHILE

Pottermore was due to become accessible to all in October, but a statement has now revealed that its launch was put back when the “overwhelming demand” from Beta users demonstrated that changes would need to be made for the site to function properly. “We always knew Pottermore would be incredibly popular,” the release read. “We wanted to make sure that we had a really good understanding of how people want to use the site and which bits we’d need to modify before giving more people access. “We gathered some incredibly use-

ful feedback from our Beta users, and it became clear that our original platform wouldn’t be suitable when millions more users came on to the site. “So we made a big decision: to move Pottermore to an entirely different platform set-up. This ‘invisible’ change has involved a lot of work behind the scenes but it will enable our users to get the best from Pottermore as it grows and develops.” The statement accepted that there “have defi-

nitely been some challenges” in putting Pottermore together, but promised users that the finished site would be worth the wait.

Need to know – The New Apple iPad (iPad3)

2’s paltry camera is still expected thanks to auto-exposure, noise reduction and image stabilisation tech. Full 1080p video recording is another upgrade and both video and photos should look spectacular on that drool-inducing retina display. Design and build The new iPad doesn’t stray too far from the iPad 2 in the looks department but it does measure in at 9.4mm, slightly thicker than the iPad 2’s svelte 8.8mm body. The home button, volume and power buttons still remain, as does Apple’s proprietary 30pin dock connector, which, to be honest, was always a given. 4G and 3G The new iPad will be hitting US shelves with 4G capability, while European Appetites will still be stuck rocking 3G speeds. Boo, hiss. A Wi-Fi only model will of course still be available for those of you who don’t fancy forking out for an extra monthly data plan. iOS 5.1 Siri makes a cameo appearance in the new iPad, with voice dictation cooked straight in to the iOS keyboard, activated by a new microphone key. Apple has also introduced updates for iPhoto, iWork, iMovie and GarageBand. iPhoto’s bezel gestures, photo

beaming and multi-touch editing look particularly tasty. Battery The new Apple iPad will serve up the same 10 hour battery life as its iPad 2 predecessor, with 9 hours of use reported with 4G turned on. Not too shabby, considering the extra processing power and pixel-cramming retina display on offer. Price and release date The new Apple iPad will be available from 16th March in black or white, and prices will start at about 480 Euros for the 16GB Wi-Fi model, 570 Euros for the 32GB Wi-Fi model and 670Euros for the 64GB Wi-Fi model. We assume that the prices for the 4G models are actually for the 3G models, given that Europe won’t be getting a 4G model. The original iPad 2 will continue to be sold alongside the new iPad and has had its price slashed down to just 400 Euros for the 16GB Wi-Fi model. First impressions It may not have an actual name, but the new Apple iPad packs in plenty of improvements to get excited about. From the glorious retina display and powerful A5X processor with quad-core graphics, to the improved camera and same great battery life, the new Apple iPad offers a very compelling package for new tablet owners. As more and more apps begin to cater to the new iPad’s insane screen resolution, it will also look like a very tempting upgrade for existing iPad 2 owners too. Stay tuned for our hands on review and more new iPad news as we get it.

The website, which offers an interactive reading experience of the Harry Potter series, was made available to one million Beta testers following its unveiling last June.

Finally, after aeons of speculation and rumours, the new Apple iPad (yes, that’s its official name) has been revealed to the world in all its shiny glory. It’s been one hell of a ride, but now we know the facts you can sit back, relax, and join us in lapping up all of the delicious facts about the Apple’s latest addition to its iFamily, the new Apple iPad.. Overview Apple’s iPad 3 might still be packing a 9.7in screen, but its whopping 2048x1536 resolution makes it an industry-leading supersharp retina display. While the body remains roughly the same as its predecessor, it’s host to a souped-up A5X dual-core processor (which apparently packs in four times the graphical grunt of Nvidia’s Tegra 3 processor), and an upgraded 5MP camera with full HD video recording. Read on for the full lowdown on the new Apple iPad 3... Screen The new iPad has Apple’s biggest retina display yet, whose 2048x1536 resolution packs in so many pixels that you won’t be able to distinguish between them with the naked eye, just like the iPhone 4S’ display. That’s a total of 3.1 million pixels at 264ppi, with a 44 per cent increase in colour saturation. The end result is an astounding screen that squeezes in more pixels than the pro-

jector that it was shown off on. Mighty impressive stuff, we think you’ll agree. Processor The new Apple iPad will be powered by a dual-core A5X processor, but don’t let that put you off – it also features quad-core powered graphics, supposedly four times faster than Nvidia’s Tegra 3 offering, which Apple claims will wipe the floor

with the latest games including the newly announced Infinity Blade: Dungeons. Time will tell how the new iPad will match up against its Tegra 3 quad-core toting Android rivals, but it’s a battle that we can’t wait to witness first hand in our reviews. Watch this space. Camera The new iPad will be toting a 5MP camera (sans flash), as opposed to the 8MP snapper that was on the cards, although a big improvement in performance over the iPad

How To Fit A Dimmer Switch

Replacing a switch with a dimmer is a quick way of instantly changing the light levels and atmosphere of a room. They’re energy efficient and work great in low-hanging pendant fittings above dining or coffee tables, or as nightlights in young children’s bedrooms. Step One: Switch Off The Power Supply. Switch off the circuit that controls the switch and take out the fuse from your consumer unit. Double check the switch isn’t working and put a sign next to the consumer unit warning that you are working on a circuit. Step Two: Remove the Switch Plate. Use a small screwdriver to undo the two screws holding the existing switch plate onto the switch box. Some Spanish switch plates simply clip onto their frame. Step Three: Connect The New Switch Plate. Single switches are wired to the ring circuit by two-core and earth cable. Changing the plate is simply a matter of unscrewing the small screws in the terminals, removing the wires and connecting them to the new plate using exactly the same terminals. If you’re replacing a two-way switch that has more wires to connect, either jot down the positions of each wire or trans-

fer one wire at a time to the new plate to avoid confusion. Step Four: Replace The Cover Plate. Make sure the wires are all firmly secured and bend any extra sheathed cable neatly into the box so that it cannot be trapped by the new cover plate. There should be no more than a few millimetres of bare wire exposed. Screw (or clip) the cover plate on to the wall box and reconnect the supply. Check the light works. Step Five: Set Up A New Backbox. If the new dimmer switch will not fit into the backbox, you will have to replace it with a deeper version. Turn off the electricity (as in Step One), unscrew the old backbox and use a cold chisel and masonry bit to drill and chip away the wall to make a deeper recess that will hold the new backbox. Add wall plugs and screw to the wall. Fit the dimmer switch as above. Remember to add an earth wire to the backbox and sheath with earth sleeving.

Tip: Remember, you must not replace a pull cord switch in a bathroom with a wall-mounted light switch; never fit a dimmer to control a fluorescent light, and bear in mind that some low energy lighting units can’t be used with a dimmer switch but newer models are compatible check before fitting.

Ignition Systems A car engine starts thanks to the ignition system. This is the unit that supplies the energy to get the motor going. The ignition system begins with a key, which you insert and turn, and ends with a spark that ignites combustion in the cylinders. This combustion is what starts the engine. It is important to note that everything up until the moment of combustion in the car cylinders is part of the ignition system. The Battery The battery provides a vehicle with the twelve volts necessary to power things when the car isn’t actually running. For startup purposes, the battery is responsible for sending electricity to the starter, the coil and the distributor, as well as a hot wire to the alternator so that things can recharge after starting. If the battery is too weak to turn the starter, starting the vehicle becomes difficult or impossible. A good alternator combined with a good battery will keep things at above twelve volts. It should be thirteen to fifteen when the car is running. The Starter When you turn the ignition key in your car to the “On” or “ACC” position, it sends electricity to the coil and the distributor, which will send spark to the plugs once the engine is turned over. When the ignition key is turned just a bit more, it sends twelve volts to the starter, which has gears that mesh with the engine and ultimately turn it over. Most engines don’t need to turn very fast in order to start. Just a few good revolutions are all it takes.

The Fuel Of course, your engine uses fuel of some sort. While the starter turns the engine over, a small amount of fuel is fed into it by either the carburetor or the fuel injection system. On a carbureted engine, it may be necessary to “pump” the accelerator pedal a few times in order to get sufficient fuel into the engine. On fuel injected cars, the entire system is pressurized and most likely uses an electric fuel pump, so it’s more of a “hands free” startup. What Happens when you turn the Key When you start the car by turning the key, several parts are set into motion. First the starter motor comes to life, and then the engine begins to turn and the spark plugs fire. When the key is turned, the starter motor “turns the engine over,” which means it turns the crankshaft which in turn gets the pistons moving in the cylinders. This starts the engine cycle. Air and fuel is drawn into the cylinders, it is compressed and the then the spark plugs fire. This begins combustion. About the Engine Cycle When you first turn the key you may notice your engine makes a grating, heaving sound. This is the sound of crank shaft turning and pistons moving, which begins the engine cycle and compression. Without this, the car would not be able to start the chain reaction of combustion that keeps it running under its own power. If your car doesn’t start there may be something getting in the way of this process, like no fuel, low battery or a clog in the engine system.

54 Tom Lewis ready for the US Tenerife Weekly - 16th March - 22nd March 2012 sport

Rising English star Tom Lewis will make his first appearance in America since turning professional this week. The 21-year-old from Welwyn Garden, whose first round 65 in The Open last year was the lowest-ever score by an amateur in the event, has accepted an invitation to play at the Transitions Championship in Florida. Lewis does so at a time when the European contingent will be trying to make it three victories in a row on the PGA Tour. Rory McIlroy, winner of the Honda Classic a fortnight ago, is now on three weeks off before The Masters, but Justin Rose is looking to follow up his success at the Cadillac Championship on Sunday. Rose will play the first two rounds with Luke Donald, who needs to win to regain the world number one spot from McIlroy. In a real sign of the times it is less than two years ago that Europe’s golfers last achieved a hat-trick on United States soil. On that occasion it was Rose at the Memorial followed by Lee Westwood in Memphis and then the crowning glory of Graeme McDowell in the US Open at Pebble Beach. Lewis has already tasted success in the pro ranks, winning the Portugal Masters last October on only his third start.

Although he has not managed a top-20 finish since then the former Walker Cup star is content to soak up all he can at this stage of his career. “I’m thankful for the tournament for giving me this opportunity,” he said. “I’m going to need to learn as much as possible this week. “On Monday I felt they were the quickest greens I’ve played on. I had an eight-foot putt and putted it off the front. You can’t afford to do that - if you’re above the hole you can’t stop the ball. “The course sets up for me well and I’m hitting the ball well, so there’s no reason I can’t perform. “But as long as I leave this week with learning a little bit about where my game’s at then that’s maybe more important than performing.” Just like Rose, who left the amateur game the day after he finished fourth in the 1998 Open, Lewis has had the spotlight on him ever since Sandwich, where he shared the first day lead and eventually finished 30th. Rose then went through the agonies of 21 successive missed cuts in his first year, whereas Lewis was holding up a trophy only three months later. “The win came too quick for me in a way, but it meant good things because I was doing well,” he continued. “If I want to be as good as I possibly can I am going to have to

Semisi Taulava and Rob O’Donnell sign for Warriors

Worcester Warriors have confirmed the signings of Semisi Taulava and Rob O’Donnell from Rotherham for next season. Tongan No.8 Taulava, who has had previous stints at Wanganui, Taranaki, Worthing and Birmingham & Solihull, had attracted the attentions of a number of clubs following a blockbusting season in the RFU Championship. And Warriors forwards coach Phil Davies is expecting the 29-year-old to make a big impact in the top flight. He said: “If you look around for outstanding ball-carrying No.8 you automatically think of the likes of Nick Easter and Ben Morgan. We feel Semisi can become one of those kinds of player for us. “He is a very big forward who carries the ball well and has all the right attributes to make a massive impression

here. He is destructive with his size and asks questions of everyone he plays against. “Semisi will add real power to our set piece and more confrontation to our set of forwards. For a big man he is also agile and gives us another lineout option. “He defends well in the rucks and in the wide channels. There is something different about him and he will definitely add to ball carrying and our driving game.” Powerhouse prop O’Donnell has had a previous taste of life in the Premiership after spending two seasons at Sale before moving to the Titans. And the 26-year-old tighthead has certainly impressed Davies with his exploits in the Championship. Davies added: “Everybody is always looking for quality tighthead props and we have been very fortunate

in recent times that Tevita (Taumoepeau) has been the cornerstone of our pack. “Rob has been, in my opinion, the outstanding tighthead prop in the RFU Championship. He has had previous Premiership experience at Sale Sharks and is excited to get back and show his ability at this level. “We feel he has fantastic potential to develop into an outstanding prop in the Premiership. He is a strong scrummager and is an abrasive player with ball in hand. He is also a good defender, especially around the rucks. “Rob is a young player who wants to come into our setup, develop and do well. He is the right character fit for us, a team man who works very hard. Both Rob and Semisi will be excellent additions to our squad.”

get used to that. “I’m kind of settling down now, getting more and more used to the way it’s going to be and I wouldn’t change the situation I’m in.” Donald tied for sixth behind Rose at the weekend, easily his best finish of the season so far, while Paul Casey’s 51st place was no surprise given it was his first event back after dislocating his shoulder snowboarding on Christmas Eve. He will be hoping for better this week and so will Sergio Garcia, who’s final round 76 included an octuplet bogey 12 at one hole, Martin Laird, who next week defends the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and Padraig Harrington, back down to 90th in the rankings after missing out on the two recent world championships.

Ireland shooting for first ever Olympic hockey appearance

David Ames’ goal could prove vital for Ireland Ireland have boosted their chances of a first-ever appearance in the Olympic hockey tournament with a 1-1 draw against South Korea. David Ames’ first-half goal put the home side ahead against the team ranked sixth in the world

at the London 2012 Olympic qualifying tournament at Belfield in Dublin, and it took a second-half equaliser by Hyun Woonam to earn the Koreans a point. The South Koreans were hot favourites to take the one Olympic place on offer at this tourna-

ment, but two wins and a draw in their three games so far could see Ireland claim a surprise place in Sunday’s final. Malaysia, who have won all three games so far, look sure to be in the final, so Ireland have pool games against lowly-ranked Chile and the Malaysians on Saturday before they can start to dream about the possibility of a place at the London Games. Russia and Ukraine are the other teams taking part in the Dublin tournament, but they are not expected to challenge.

THE SPORTS SCENE WITH PETER QUILTY

SPORT

SPONSORED BY THE BUZZIN OF CALLAO SALVAJE FOR ALL THE BEST IN SPORT Hi everyone, let me firstly explain why parts of the Sports Scene were not printed last week this was due to an error as the text did not reached our editor. Never mind, these things happen. Anyway here are a couple of the paragraphs that were missing. So let’s take a look back at last weekend’s sport. In football, well only Martin ´The Middlesboro Maurade”, on his return from the UK, he said he was going to watch the Utd game but couldn’t get a ticket, should have rung Emmon Holmes, instead he donated his 45 quid to Doncaster Rovers, who look like they will be roving in Division One soon, sorry Martin, he gave me his predications late but in time to compete and he comes out this weeks winner with 18 points, Chris the ´Chef at the Buzzin scoring 12 points and was jumping with joy when Ashley Young scored 2 fantastic goals on Sunday and praying that Utd scored another to complete his 4 nil predication, I only scored 9 points and poor old Ronnie and Sandy at the ´Red Lion´ bring up the rear yet again with only 6 points. Ronnie picked 3 matches right for Saturday and Sandy forgot to put the bet on, sorry Ronnie that new Range Rover will have to wait. For this weekend I predict for Saturdays Matches wins for QPR, Fulham, Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs with a draw with Wolves v Blackburn, for Sunday although West Brom did themselves proud to beat Chelsea I cant see them winning at Old Trafford, also wins for Man City and Norwich, with Mondays game going to Arsenal. My team Nott’s County are back to their winning ways under Keith Curle and back in the playoff positions. Well done you ´Pies¨, it also looks like Nottingham Forest are also on the mend with 7 points from a possible 9, keep it up. The predications the guys gave me for last weekends games came out as follows with Martin the Middlesboro Maurader scoring 18points, the same as last week,

we will never hear the last of this!! And the boys in the Red Lion really redeeming themselves with 18points, yes the Lion really does bit back, Chris the Buzzin Chef scored 12 points the same as last week and again was over the moon when Mr Rooney got his name on the score sheet for the Red Devils, so who brings up the rear this time, Well its Me scoring only 9 points, the same as last week, well you cant get it right every time can you but if you look at the next paragraph that was missing, Mr Q got all these right.

In the Six Nations Rugby, I think Ireland will be disappointed with the draw in Paris, although Ireland ended France’s Grand Slam hopes by holding out to secure a draw in an entertaining Six Nations game in Paris. The Irish had the better of the first half and two Tommy Bowe tries, the second a scintillating solo effort, helped them to a 17-6 interval lead. France gained the upper hand after the break and a Wesley Fofana try helped them to make up their 11-point deficit. Morgan Parra kicked four penalties for the French while Jonathan Sexton landed a penalty and two conversions. The draw was the first between the sides since a 15-15 draw in Dublin in 1985. As for this weekends Matches Wales v Italy and Ireland v Scotland on Saturday, then France v England on Sunday. I’m not convinced it would be an upset if England won the game in Paris. Wales to beat Italy and Ireland to beat Scotland. Let’s wait and see. The Rugby was really great and although England left it a little late it was a fantastic win.

That’s about it for this weeks issue with the Cheltenham Festival in full flight this week after I backed Kauto Star whilst I was back in the UK at Christmas and he won so with him being fit for the big one I might just risk 10euro on him again and here’s my big 4 tips Champion Hurdle: Hurricane Fly (Ruby Walsh). Champion Chase: Sizing Europe (Andrew Lynch). World Hurdle: Big Buck’s (Ruby Walsh). Gold Cup: Kauto Star.

Till next time have a great Read.

As I write this weeks Column it is the big Merseyside Derby tonight and I think Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish will be determined that his side return to winning ways against Everton. The Reds have struggled for form in the Barclays Pre-

mier League since the start of the year, with one win, two draws and five defeats in their last eight matches. This weekend sees the Quarter Finals of the FA Cup with Liverpool involved with a home game against Stoke and again I think they will win this one to take them into the Semi’s, and although I would love to see Leicester beat Chelsea some how I don’t think it will happen, sorry Leicester may

be next year. David Moyes celebrates 10 years at Goodison Park, not only with a Merseyside Derby but a home Cup game against Sunderland and on the form they are showing at the moment I think it should be a Toffee win. I have always liked the low key Scot. But the Everton manager David Moyes who reaches that extraordinary milestone on Wednesday, regardless of whether the Toffees win,

lose or draw, the low-key Scot is unlikely to indulge in high-profile celebrations. A dependable defender, Moyes made more than 550 league appearances for several clubs, but his longest spell was at Preston, where he became player-manager in January 1998. He took them up to Division One (now the Championship) in 2000 and to the play-off final in 2001 where they lost to Bolton. Moyes was on the rise, but Everton were seemingly heading the opposite way. He left Preston to join a side which had won only one of its previous 13 League matches. It is easy to forget that when Moyes took over from Walter Smith on March 14th 2002, Everton were one of the perennial strugglers in the top flight. The Toffees are one of only seven clubs to compete in every Premier League season since it was formed in 1992/93. But their first 10 seasons were tough, with just one top 10 finish (sixth in 1995/96) and they regularly flirted with relegation, surviving on goal difference alone in 1997/98. When Moyes arrived with nine matches of the 2001/02 season remaining, Everton were above the drop zone on goal difference - but he won three of his first four matches in charge as they secured 15th place and safety. Last Harry´s men are having a few hiccups at the mo but should beat Bolton. Let’s hope Prince Harry remembers to bring the FA Cup back from Brazil. As for the Premiership games I see Fulham beating Swansea, the Baggies to continue their winning ways at poor old Wigan along with Newcastle keeping Wolves in the bottom 3.
