It’s going to be a mega weekend; I hope you are ready for it. There will be fires lit all over the island to celebrate the summer solstice; expect beach parties, street parties, almost everywhere there will be lit bonfires blazing, with the odd youngster showing off by jumping through the flames! If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, you can visit the pyramids at Guimar to see a double sunset, or you can

involved in had the announcement of Victoria the baby Orca on the front cover. This week we have learned that she died, aged just 10 months. Incredibly sad news, I am in touch with Loro Parque and they have promised to let me know any further news when they have it. Her birth was a cause for celebration for the trainers at the park and for visitors alike, such a shame we lost her.

See you all next week.

the car people competition

This week’s The Car People Competition had another great response, with loads of correct answers to the question; What car did Tom Selleck drive in Season 1 of Magnum PI.

The celebrations are far from restricted to the inland villages, however, with fires and parties on many beaches – particularly popular ones are held in El Médano and Los Cristianos, but the most spectacular will again be the celebration at the fiesta’s namesake beach, Playa San Juan. If you are near one, you might even see some peo-

ple jumping over the flames three times, a rite considered to be purifying and lucky, representing a burning away of the leaper’s problems. In Guía de Isora, the 24th, San Juan Bautista’s Day itself is a public holiday, but the largest actual celebration takes place in Puerto de la Cruz, where goat keepers from the hills above the town bring their flocks down to the coast to bathe them in the sea in the early morning.

On St John’s Eve, 23 June, Tenerife is lit up with bonfires and fireworks, and many visitors often think that a summer fire has started early. It will be no different this year, so expect to see plenty of smoke swirling above the hills throughout on Sunday.

oro Parque has sadly announced that Victoria, the baby orca born last August, has died. The cause of her sudden death is still unknown, but vets and experts are working to find out the cause.

They had noticed a change of behaviour over the past few days, and brought in outside specialists, including the chief vet from Sea World in the USA. Loro Parque says it is very sad indeed to lose Vicky, just 10 months old, a

playful and intelligent animal who won the hearts of the entire Loro Parque team and the visitors who saw her during her life. Her birth at Loro Parque

was hugely celebrated as she was only the second ever born in Spain, and an indication, the park said at the time, of the well-being of the mammals in the Parque.

Dear Editor,

This is just a thanks to all of you for a great afternoon´s fun and food. Everyone there was very friendly, the mini golf was a great laugh and the food and service was excellent. Once again, thanks and I will be writing on tripadvisor about you. M.A

news On THe rOCK

The trial of Joseph Breton for the murder of his children, Ruth and Jose, aged 6 and 2, in October 8, 2011, started on Monday. The prosecution is requesting a sentence of 40 years in prison for two counts of murder. The trial is scheduled to end on 8 July, The Canarian Government is to allocate 15,000,000 Euros to enable the TF1 extension between Adeje and Las Manchas in Santiago del Teide to be completed, the Tenerife Cabildo Roads Minister, José Luis Delgado, has confirmed. The money will come from increased borrowing which will be approved by the national government before the end of June, an approval which would release some 200,000,000 Euros in total increased debt to the Canaries. Sr. Delgado said that he was confident that 2014’s budget would allocate a further 15,000,000 Euros for the project so that the road should be open to traffic at the beginning of 2015. The recent open day to the Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos for International Museum Day was a great success, and now the museum has announced a further two open days on Friday and Saturday, 21 and 22 June, in honour of the official start of summer on the 21st. Entry to the planetarium itself, the attraction that evokes the most enthusiasm, will also again be free. What with the IAC observatory open days being held on the same weekend for the same purpose, it’s the starriest summer weekend imaginable! A man died after a traffic accident near the Quiron Hospital (formerly the USP) in San Eugenio. Eyewitnesses say that the car started swerving when it was travelling between the San Eugenio commercial centre and the Playa de las Américas bus station, ricocheted off several trees, and finally crashed into a stone wall. The driver and passenger were taken to hospital, but the driver sadly didn’t survive his injuries. Police have now confirmed that the driver was a 70-year-old man who is thought to have suffered a heart attack while driving: the passenger was his 68-year-old wife. Police say, also, that the couple was taken to the Quirón hospital itself given that both were in critical condition and the hospital was the nearest to the incident – on the doorstep, indeed. Hospital sources say that emergency staff fought to save the man, but in the end were unable to help him. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. The Arona Summer festival will be on at the Antonio Dominguez Olympic Stadium on Saturday August 17th. Tickets are now on sale at 30 Euros for a general ticket or 45 Euros for premium tickets from www.aronasummerfestival. com. This year the festival will feature Alesso, Ray Castellano, The Zombie Kids, Patrick Martin and loads more. For more information go the Facebook page; Arona Summer Festival.

roaming Cancelled THE European Commission has decided to remove ‘roaming’ from July 1, 2014. Calls, text messages or Internet access will not cause any additional cost to the user within the European union, although it has not been detailed how the reform will be applied, but it is due to come into effect on July 1, 2014.

The decision fulfils the request of Neelie Kroes, European Commission Vice President and Head of Telecommunications. The group of 27 commissioners agreed to end these disproportionate costs because they believe it will be beneficial for companies. Although it might seem negative to remove a strong source of income (2% of their income with the end of roaming), but the Commission has announced a series of measures to ensure that this does not affect the operators too. In addition, it is thought that users will use their phones more when travelling throughout Europe.

The reform aims to consolidate the market for European mobile operators, and the Commission notes that there are too many companies offering the same services to members. There are about 100 different operators in Europe, while in the United States there are only four

ast week we took a drive up to the beautiful Playa de San Marcos, near Icod de Los Vinos, to meet one of its residents, fellow Tenerife Weekly columnist Steve Andrews. Also known as the Bard of Ely, exscientologist, UFO enthusiast, plant expert, musician, writer and actor amongst many, many other things, this was my biggest challenge so far as a fledgling journalist-how do I cram into a single page such a rich, weird and interesting life? I hope you find it as fascinating as I did.

Tenerife Weekly - 21st June 2013 - 27th June 2013

Interview With The Bard

By Marc Craig

First Impressions

Steve wasn’t difficult to spot-a visual blend of Billy Connolly, Gandalf and Doctor Who (there’s a Facebook campaign for him to be the next Doctor-more on that in my entertainment column), I’m sure Steve won’t mind me saying he’s an interesting looking chap (he describes himself as eccentric and quirky) minus the green beard this time but it was easy to imagine him striding across the road in wizard’s robes! After making our introductions we sat at beach cafe ordered drinks and began to chat-Steve came across as extremely intelligent, compelling and very grounded for someone who has experienced some really strange things, he’s an expert verbalist who challenged my thoughts on many things and gave me his unique perspective on many things. Here are some of the things we discussed.

Scientology:

Steve is a former member of the Church of Scientology (1986-1990), the notorious organisation/religion founded by self-help guru and science fiction author (amongst other things) L. Ron Hubbard, which list among its members, celebrities like Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley. I already knew that Scientology teaches that we are all immortal beings called Thetans who have forgotten their true nature, the organisation practices a form of “spiritual rehabilitation” known as auditing -in return for increasingly more generous donations to the church. He explained in an unbiased way that it’s all about profit, to progress to the higher echelons such as OTs or “operating Thetans” which gain access to classified information for hard cash. This costs an awful lot of money, a reason many people eventually become disillusioned and leave, him included. However he added that it certainly helped him in several ways including new confidence in his writing and overcoming addictions to name a few. It involves lots of preaching to its followers about how amazing they are and how they can achieve anythingpossibly why it’s quite popular with the large egos of celebrity. He also mentioned their slogan which almost acts as a back out clause....it’s only true if you believe it!

Elvis’s Ghost!

The main reason we began messaging each other stems from my articles and interest in the paranormal. Steve has had dozens of

Email Marc: marc@tenerife-weekly.com personal experiences as well as accounts of acquaintances of his -during the interview I struggled to keep up!! Again due to space restraints I chose a few of my favourites. In 1978 Steve spent a night in a house in a Cardiff suburb where a séance performed by former “evil” residents of this ordinary council house had summoned “The King”. Local media began reports after a new couple moved in and saw a ghostly figure on the stairs dressed as an American GI and closely resembling Elvis. So terrified were they that the man was hospitalised with heart problems and they refused to ever enter the house again, abandoning all their possessions. Unhappy with the negative press, Cardiff city council arranged exorcisms and invited willing participants to stay at the house to prove it was safe. Enter Steve and his friend Colin who thought it would be great publicity for his on-going campaign against the lack of housing. Neither Colin nor Steve saw Elvis but on several occasions that night areas of the house would suddenly drop in temperature enough to produce cold breath and goose bumps, these cold spots would be accompanied with an overpowering smell of perfume. On leaving the house and speaking to reporters from the local press, Steve met the old tenants who had performed the séances, it turned out Mr Crowley’s mother was a spirit medium and they were huge Elvis fans with an entire room full of memorabilia, they were in regular contact with “ The King” and he had followed them to their new house-where Steve spent a very pleasant afternoon having tea and

looking at their Elvis collection!

Abduction Steve spoke in depth about his views on UFOs and aliens and most interestingly about the time when he was regressed via hypnosis to

a time when he was abducted by aliens. The regression was performed by Dave Coggins and was featured on the HTV television programme “Weird Wales”, this video can be viewed on YouTube by typing “Bard of Ely’s UFO encoun-

ter recalled under hypnosis”.

Hummadruz

Perhaps the most intriguing part of the conversation was to do with Steve’s experiences of Hummadruz -something I’d not come across before. Hummadruz is a phenomenon in which individuals or communities experience a strange humming sound which can’t be explained. Steve spoke of multiple experiences like this between ages 8-19 , normally between 2 and 3am, a deafening droning sound like large machinery, which was impossible to locate would wake him yet no one else could hear it. The most fascinating aspect of this story was one occasion when Steve went to the window to see if he could locate the humming, only to find the street below had changed from the modern one he was used to seeing to an old-fashioned cobbled street, was it some kind of time slip? The very last time Steve encountered this phenomena was at aged 19 in a squat in London -only this time he wasn’t the only one, to his relief his friend Steve Whitworth was also in the room and asked him if he could hear it too. It was the last time he would ever experience it. I would like to thank Steve Andrews for sharing with me his remarkable tales, and apologise to him if I’ve omitted anything. I hope you all enjoyed reading about this really wonderful character, he has to be one of Tenerife’s most fascinating residents For more on Steve, check out bardofely.hubpages.com or check out his autobiography -” Hummadruz and a life of high strangeness” available from amazon.com Look out in a future edition for our article about Tenerife’s mysterious pyramids!!

Teide Open Days

www.janetanscombe.com The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has announced they will be holding two Open Days on Friday and Saturday, 21st and 22nd of June. Between 10am and 3pm, visitors will be able to have a guided tour and be told about the work done by the Observatory, as well as to ask whatever questions they like, whether about the solar system, nearest stars, galaxies, nebulae, or the age or origins of the universe.

The Open Days will be held in the Observatory itself, at Izaña. Groups will be taken at intervals to see the telescopes. Parking is available in the precinct’s own car park. IAC recommends that since it is a high mountain area, visitors bring comfortable shoes, eye shades or sunglasses, as well as a coat. Those with any cardio-vascular or respiratory problems are advised that the altitude might present them with a problem and they are advised to check first with their doctor.

las Galletas lands a Bumper Catch for arona en Colores yard the dog show was straining at the lead as the pooches went through their paces. Dogs awaiting their big moment rested in the shadows, well it was a very hot afternoon, panting adults found refuge under the shaded tables outside the bars and restaurants, the tapas and drink offers were proving a hit. There was a lot to take in so I headed for the Tenbel side of the village and found aerial runways,

By Colin Kirby ALL roads led to Las Galletas on Saturday as 20,000 people filled the streets, promenade, and parks for a packed schedule of family fun and late night shopping. As I arrived in mid afternoon the sandy beach was being shared between sun bathers and novice paddle boarders while the waste land opposite had become a packed temporary car park. Armed with my glossy colour

guide I headed down La Rambla where one half was bristling with the plant and flowers fair and the other had a sporty flavour from basketball to keep fit in the shadow of the church. Infectious rhythms lured me through to the large urban park where dance groups were whipping up a frenzy of action among the audience. One of the side streets was full of bouncy castles in various shapes and sizes getting a good bouncing from joyous children. If the idea was to provide something for all the family it was certainly working, next door in the school

padded sumo bouts, and a bucking bronco entertaining the adventurous youngsters. As the sun dipped low more people abandoned the beaches and swelled the crowds, each back street led to new discoveries, salsa, an historic photo exhibition, and plenty of live music on the stages that had sprung up on all corners. Over at the Marina del Sur I found some traditional Canarian dancing and music and taking a short cut back to the main park I lingered a while to admire the display of groovy Volkswagens. It was a chance well taken for Las Galletas to show off its charms, local traders got a much needed boost and visitors floated through the swirl of activities for a new uplifting view of one of Arona’s little gems.

Wot No Sunbed’s

fter sectioning off a part of the beach for private sunbed users, a move that subsequently saw rapid backtracking amidst allegations that the sunbed concession had repeatedly been deemed illegal; it now seems that this summer will find Arona’s Los Cristianos and Troya beaches without any sunbeds or umbrellas at all.

Apart from the questionable contracts, it appears that no money has been coming in to the council from the concession for over a year, leaving a financial hole in the council’s

coffers of, in total when all services are taken into account, of around 2,000,000 Euros. Moreover, the Ayuntamiento’s General Secretary confirmed that when the current contract expired - at the beginning of 2012 - the contract required the sunbeds to be removed. The municipal legal chief says that the whole thing must now be put out to public tender according to recognized procedures, and insisted that the council brings to an end the current “irregular situation”, a situation evidenced by numerous reports issued since early 2011. With just a week or so now to go before the summer period formally starts, the chaos on Arona’s beaches shows no sign of improving.

www.janetanscombe.com And now, the sunbed issue is in the Courts. Councillor José Antonio Reverón (not the former mayor, who is José Alberto González Reverón) had just finished testifying in the Caso Arona (the latest scandal

which saw some 20-odd senior Arona Ayuntamiento officials have their corruption case trials confirmed and their appeals rejected), when he put what we might call the sunbeds case in the hands of the public prosecu-

tor with a denuncia for corruption. Some are now just totting up the numbers of corruption cases in the Courts involving the Arona authorities. The sunbeds case is now popularly known as Caso Arona 5.

The Cabildo de Tenerife has announced that it will be held at the Puerto Colon Marina (Adeje) from 5th to 15th September, in collaboration with the Cabildo de Tenerife the municipalities of Adeje and Tacoronte, as well as different private companies.

The competition will bring together more than 350 athletes and more than 50 boats racing from countries such as Australia, United States,

New Zealand, Great Britain, Belgium, Austria, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Venezuela, Italy and Spain. The launch event was attended by the Minister of sports, Christ Perez; the general director of sports of the Government of the Canary Islands, Ramón Miranda; and the President of the Canarian Federation of water-skiing, Juan Antonio González. The participation of two world champions, Australian Wayne Mawer (2011) and the American Todd Haig (2009)

has been confirmed and the organisation is working on other internationally prestigious athlete’s attendance. The most prominent Spanish and Tenerife competitor will be Jose Miguel González who has already has competed in two tests in the European Cup, gaining a 2nd and 3rd. The World Championship will take place over four days and include of races covering six different categories graded according to age, sex and boat power, and will be held in the waters of the Marina of Puerto Colon.

Residence Permits For Foreigners Restrictions Paulino Rivero, president of the Canary Islands, has applied regulations to residence permits for foreigners due to excessive population growth on the islands and the limited resources available to them. He stressed that the crisis has worsened the situation.

The president added that the Canaries exercise a power contained in the Statute of Autonomy that allows au-

tonomous communities to make proposals to the State regarding residence and work of foreigners to demand that steps be taken to help modulate the population growth on the islands. Rivero pointed out that in just twenty years the population has grown in the Canary Islands to nearly half a million people. “We are at a crossroads, common sense and responsibility have to be used and we need to create mechanisms that modulate population

growth.” Rivero continued his argument: “You have to reopen the debate. It is especially delicate now, in a time of deep economic crisis in which jobs are scarce.”

Costa del Silencio Lion Club

A great big thank you to everyone who attended the afternoon and evening entertainment on Sunday 16th June at the Rendezvous Bistro, Winter Gardens, Golf del Sur.

The Arona Lions Club Intl. would especially like to thank the entertainers and the staff at the venue for working extremely hard to make the event so enjoyable. We would also like to thank the family and friends of a much loved friend and colleague of the venue who allowed the event to go ahead after her sad death on Saturday.

Our next event will be on Sunday 7th July at our usual venue of CC Chapparal, Costa del Silencio between 2pm and

6pm... Acts to be confirmed. Thanks again to everyone involved and your support is much appreciated.

on bank negotiations. Rubén Bonilla, member of the abattoir’s works committee, however, says that the Cabildo has already “guaranteed” the payment previously – and that the employees were still waiting for it, and so they had no faith in the Cabildo’s ability or willingness to pay. That lack of faith is understandable, indeed, since Sr Bethencourt’s vague promise of money “soon” was accompanied by the equally vague comment that the future of the abattoir would have to be “discussed” because “one has to adapt to current circumstances”. Sr Bethencourt blamed the abattoir workers for their “astronomical” pay demands and said that they should be reasonable given the exigencies of the market,

which have resulted in low profit margins and reduced consumption. Unions say that these “sky high wage negotiations” saw rises in workers’ income from 600 Euros to up to a maximum of 1,000 Euros per month – 12,000 Euros or so per annum. One would have hoped that in the current circumstances – i.e. in the middle of the second decade of the 21st century, even in economically hard times and in a remote corner of Europe – the concept of a decent day’s pay – or even any pay - for a decent day’s work was a concept recognized to be as natural and normal as the sun in the sky. Apparently not. Workers say they’ll lift the strike and return to work when they see money in the bank.

Abattoir Strike

The 42 employees in the Matadero Insular, Tenerife’s only abattoir in La Laguna, have gone on indefinite strike saying they have not been paid since January.

Wingate School

In Issue 80, Tenerife Weekly published an article about Luke Towler being attacked at Wingate School. Unfortunately we were misinformed about certain facts that we are now more than happy to put right.

The incident did not, in fact, take place inside school grounds, it happened after school hours and quite a way outside of the school grounds, as the police report will confirm. Wingate School has 3 locked and monitored entrances; one with a security camera, and remotely activated lock, one with a keycode that only staff and pupils know, and the third only opened at the beginning and end

of the day and always fully monitored by a staff member on duty. Wingate School has been teaching children for over 30 years and thousands of children have passed through its system without ever having experienced such an incident before. The aggressor was, and never has been, a pupil of Wingate School. The feud between the two children had nothing to do with another pupil but in fact started years ago when the two boys concerned both attended another school and had problems then. The mother had already approached the school concerning this issue a few days before it happened, but, contrary to the schools advice, insisted that nothing was done about it.

The workers say that when they failed to be paid in May, and were then told that June’s extra payment was not going to be made – and indeed that there was no money to pay them for the rest of the year, they decided, in desperation, to call the strike. The island’s abattoir earn less than 1,000 Euros a month, and without even those wages coming in for the last four and a half months they are in dire straits, many of them now fearing eviction because they have got behind with their mortgages. A major part of the problem seems to be that the abattoir is dependent on the Cabildo, and there is no public money. Privatization is a possibility, but sources say that with meat prices so low there is little commercial appetite for such a business. A promise given on Monday by the Tenerife Cabildo that it will provide the abattoir with 200,000 Euros to clear the backlog of workers’ wages has been met with total scepticism. The abattoir workers say they are not convinced by the promise and that the strike will continue if May’s wages are not in place by the 27th of June. The Cabildo minister for Agricultura, Ganadería y Pesca, José Joaquín Bethencourt, says that the strike is unjustified because the payment will be made very soon – depending

Tenerife Weekly - 21st June 2013 - 27th June 2013

onE of the few things that all human beings share and have in common regardless of race, creed, income, intellect, culture or accomplishment is DEATH!

The gravest statistic of all statistics is one out of one die. Death comes to us all, sometimes unexpectedly through often tragic circumstances at other times after a long debilitating illness but however it comes, come it does. Another statistic is this, every hour that passes, 6305 people die in this world. Now here is the curious thing, despite the prevalence of death, we still hate death, despise death, we oppose death and we long for life? We cannot accept death and will avoid even the talk of it or try to make light of it. Fact is we just do not want to think about death, especially living on this beautiful Island of Sun, Sea, Sand, holidaymak-

ers, fun and happiness! There is a reality however and in all likelihood most of us have already experienced, a personal encounter with death usually of a close member of our family. Someone we have loved dearly and we know how that devastated us and the sorrow we felt even beyond the funeral. We are not encouraged much in our modern times to think about death, about our humanity, our frailty or our fear. The starkness and terror of death have been to a great extent hidden from us, at ‘arm’s length’ as they say with cameras panning away from scenes of death, our dying elderly put away in nursing homes or those with terminal illness being cared for in hospice wards. We don’t want to see it and we don’t want to experience it because we don’t understand it… One of our modern day philosophical gurus Brad Warner said this “You won’t

understand life and death until you’re ready to set aside any hope of understanding life and death and just live your life until you die.” And there lies the reason so many of us come to the point in our lives when death hits us like an express train that were never expecting… On Sunday 23 June 2013 Pastor Adrian McBride is going to talk on this very subject, ‘Understanding Death’ because you can understand death and contrary to what Warner says it is only when you understand death that you will really understand life! During the talk there will be the presentation of ‘Julie’s Story’. Julie is a young lady living with Terminal Cancer right now here in Tenerife and her story is not just one of courage but one of HOPE, even in the face of death... A story you need to hear! If you would like to know more, if YOU want to understand death , or need help coming to terms living with terminal illness then why don’t you come along to Cristianos Community Church on Sunday June 23 at 11.00am. We meet in the Video Room of the Sol Princesa Dacil Hotel, Los Cristianos.. For further details please look up our website at www. cristianoscommunitychurch. com or contact Pastor Adrian directly on 608 409 016

Students Find Out This Summer As The ‘Real’ CSI Comes To Tenerife At Vivo Treasure Island

This summer students can step into a simulated CSI scenario with CSI Events: Tenerife. Using genuine forensic science to solve the mystery of a suspicious crime. Students will assume the role of forensic scientists as they investigate the ‘crime scene’ of a crime that is seemingly without motive. Combining theory and practice, students attempt to solve the simulated crime through classroom lectures, investigative techniques and practical work. This course incorporates curricular topics as well such as English, Science, Mathematics and many more. Although the 1 week course follows the template seen in shows such as CSI, it is designed to be as realistic as possible. While the crime scene and evidence are not real, students follow the procedure of forensic scientists and conduct experiments using authentic equipment. The course aims to convey to students the reality of crime investigation using Forensic Science. This course aims to show the ‘real’ side of forensic casework.’ Once the mystery has been untangled, participants analyse their results and build their case for the mini court trial, where they will present their evidence. This course will run continuously throughout the summer holidays. Each week 24 students will get the chance to put their skills to the test.

www.tenerife-weekly.com rEMEMBEr the three “blind puppies”? found to have non functional tear ducts at only a few weeks old, their eyes completely dried out, causing them great pain and loss of sight. Yes, we could have put them to sleep, it was an option, but following our ethos “never give up” we had a fundraiser and paid an animal ophthalmologist to assess them.

A lengthy, expensive and intensive treatment plan was drawn up and thankfully, a foster family was found who were able to commit to such a high level of care. We are highly delighted to announce this week that everything was worthwhile, the damage has been repaired, the tear ducts are working again, and the prognosis is good, just a little extra care and attention will be needed in the future. We thank Lynn and Johnny, their foster parents, for all their hard work, it can’t have been easy. They have fallen in love with Lucy (formally Stevie Wonder), the worst affected of the three, and have decided to keep her. Peanut (pictured) and his sister Ellie are now available for adoption. Peanut is fully vaccinated, chipped and sterilised for which we ask an adoption fee of 110 Euros. Look at that face, so full of character. Call us for more information. Sometimes things are more important than money, and we are extremely happy that we didn’t give up on these ba-

Bank’S profitS Hit By intereSt rate rulinG

SPAIn’S second biggest bank, BBVA, has said its profit will be affected after the court ruling prompted them to stop applying clauses (floors) setting minimum interest rates, on mortgages.

The bank fell as much as 2.9% in Madrid trading after it estimated the change would reduce profit for June by 35 million euros and said the future impact will depend on the evolution of Euribor, the interest-rate benchmark widely used for mortgage loans in Spain. Some Spanish banks, have relied on interest-rate floors written into mortgage contracts to shield them from a decline in Euribor, the benchmark for most of Spain’s 600 billion-euro stock of home loans. However, Spain’s Supreme Court has ruled that mortgage floor clauses that don’t meet transparency requirements and will be considered null, the Bilbao, Spainbased lender announced at a regulatory filing this week. The decision marks another blow for a Spanish banking system reeling from the impact of mounting defaults, shrinking credit demand and tougher capital rules. “There is a risk from this and it’s definitely an issue,” said Antonio Ramirez, an analyst at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods Ltd., who downgraded BBVA to “market perform” from “outperform.” “There is clearly a much bigger incentive for clients to sue the banks and get these mortgage floors removed now that the Supreme Court has set a precedent.” The removal of floors may reduce

BBVA’s earnings by 5% in 2014 and 2% in 2015, according to Alvaro Serrano and Sara Minelli, analysts at Morgan Stanley. As much as 70% of mortgages at BBVA, around 55 billion euros of loans, have floors with an average rate of 2.65%, Benjie Creelan-Sandford, an analyst at Macquarie Bank Ltd. in London, said in a May 17 report. Sabadell SA has 25 billion euros of mortgage loans with floors set at an average rate of 3.5% and Popular has about 37 billion euros of loans with floors. The Supreme Court ruling does not strike down floors on mortgages that were explained to customers in a clear and transparent way, said a spokesman for Sabadell (SAB) in Barcelona, the bank intends to keep the floors because the bank can demonstrate it applied them in a transparent fashion, he said. A spokesman for Popular declined to

comment, but Popular Chief Executive Officer Francisco Gomez told shareholders this week that floors were an “essential condition” of contracts and their use helped the bank to fix the price of loans and make them available to clients. Neither Banco Santander SA (SAN), Spain’s biggest bank, nor Bankinter SA (BKT) use mortgage floors. In a 2010 report on mortgage floors, the Bank of Spain found that of 49 lenders, 16 applied them on more than 85% of their loans, while 23 used them rarely or not at all. The average floor level was 3.12%. “In accordance to the decision of the Supreme Court, BBVA will cease to apply such floor clauses to consumer mortgage loans, with effect from May 9, 2013, although it reserves its right to possible appeals,” the bank said in its statement yesterday.

Self employed Social Discounts

By silvia - CCs tenerife

IT is well known that autonomo (self-employed) social security costs are approximately 250 Euros per month regardless of how much income and profits are earned by the payer.

While exemption from social security is very rare, there are some autonomos who pay less than the normal minimum. At present newly registering autonomos who are less than 30 years old in the case of men and 35 in the case of women, get an automatic discount of 30% on their contributions for the first thirty months. They don’t need to apply, it is given to them at the point of signing up for social security. A similar deduction, this time for twelve months but for a 100% deduction on their social security, is for women returning to selfemployment within

two years of maternity leave. Autonomos must issue and retain copies of invoices for the work they have done. Additionally, if they want to offset expenses against income for tax purposes they must show copies of a properly constituted receipt. A “proper” receipt always has the name of the autonomo or business, the identification number of the business (CIF if incorporated, the NIE or DNI if an autonomo), date, and description of product/service, invoice amount and IGIC (VAT) applicable. It is normal when issuing an invoice to put your address as well and perhaps contact details like website, phone number and email address. It is also a good idea to put the terms of payment and how the invoice can be settled (for example “bank transfer” with your account details). Being in English does not invalidate an invoice. Many British businesses in Spain issue dual-language invoices.

Last Sunday there was a mass delivery of leaflets, which was the Ayuntamiento’s way of announcing that our park was finally going to be opened the following day. The mood in Bar Leones that evening was mixed – disbelief, because similar promises had been made before, and optimism because that week workmen had been observed doing something mysterious to the lights. There was a crowd of six at nine o’clock last Monday 17th June when a man unlocked one padlock - with complete lack of ceremony - and disappeared. Two Canarian youths opened the gate and the park was

officially open. It is a lovely park – circular courtyards and a maze of curved paths on a sloping site beside the school. Every wall – and there are a lot of them – is made of that beautiful, expensive grey stone, which might explain why we have no water in the fountain that is a feature of one courtyard, no plants in the terraces, no trees and no grass around the modern art sculptures. There is a video on YouTube of how it should look. But there is an outdoor gymnasium, the football field that was closed three years ago has been replaced, the new children’s play area has a floor softer than my bed, and it’s open before the holidays – the children will love it.

NowAbout in Tenerife – New Mobile Marketing Channel For Businesses Mobile phones are transforming the way that local businesses build sales

continue. These devices enable the user to plan, research, compare and share information in ways that simply weren’t possible in the past and they are now doing so in significant numbers. The rise of the smartphone presents a host of new challenges for every business looking to both reach their existing clients and attract new customers effectively. Many smaller businesses believe that this rise of smartphones is either not directly relevant to them or that mobile marketing is the preserve of the big companies with substantial marketing budgets. Neither of these statements is true and with the imminent launch of ‘NowAbout’, the new mobile marketing and promotional service here in Tenerife, the mobile marketing channel is about to become both available and affordable to businesses of any size and type.

ACS Ltd a UK based software Development Company, in conjunction with Tenerife Weekly, are shortly going to launch the location based marketing and promotional service known as NowAbout in Tenerife.

Mobile Marketing allows you to track customer’s activities and engagement with your services and products. Google state that 40% of all searches on mobile are for local goods or services, and almost 90% of mobile searches result in a visit, call or purchase, within a day, with a large proportion of this activity occurring within an hour of the search. Compared to the Web, mobile as a marketing channel is still relatively under exploited, especially by small and medium businesses.

It’s No Longer an Option to Ignore Mobile

An Effective Mobile Strategy can drive competition and more customers

You are in Control of your Adverts 24/7

The Mobile marketing channel has some very unique characteristics. It is the only marketing channel that guarantees direct, individual and almost real-time interaction with the consumer. Mobile marketing is set to become the core digital channel for local advertising.

Available at a fraction of the cost of traditional marketing and with no paper and ink required, the Mobile Marketing channel has many advantages over the alternatives not to mention the economic and environmental benefits.

The ‘year of the mobile’ has been talked about for a long time. In 2013, it has finally arrived and with it there are significant opportunities for small and medium businesses worldwide. Smartphones, iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Windows, allow users to access the internet and a suite of other external programmes or Apps, while on the move. These smartphones now account for over half of all mobile handsets in the UK and this explosion of sophisticated personal devices is set to

Nowadays the research continues whilst on holiday as well. People can now use their phones around the pool or on the beach, listening to music, while at the same time planning where and what they would like to visit, where the best offers are and what activities they wish to participate in for the duration of their stay. The provision of Wi-Fi here in Tenerife continues to grow, in addition, many of the larger mobile operators are now starting to significantly reduce the cost of data usage abroad, meaning that holidaymakers can now stay connected with their personal and most trusted technology accessory, their smartphone. The bigger companies have already been running sophisticated mobile marketing campaigns for some time. Increasingly, smaller innovative businesses are adopting mobile as a key communications and sales channel.

As so many people are now accessing information through their mobile phone, they increasingly expect businesses to be able to serve them on mobile, and tend to be engaging more with the businesses that do, rather than those that don’t. People want all of their information readily to hand nowadays; they expect to switch from work related information to researching what to do with their time off, with just the swipe of a finger across their phone. For a while now holidaymakers have been using the internet to research potential destinations where they intend to go on holiday, browsing a number of popular forums and websites for reviews on a chosen destination.

Once you are registered on the NowAbout website, you have full control of all the information, pictures, promotions etc for your business. You are able to update any part of your business information wheneverYOU want. The time for you to act is now. See next week’s edition of Tenerife Weekly for details of how to get your business marketed via mobile with a completely free, no obligation trial to NowAbout!

Orange said it had overhauled its mobile, home and business tariffs and would offer clients superfast mobile internet 4G services for one euro more than a current 22 euro ($29.36) tariff, also throwing in additional minutes and web browsing. Orange’s announcement followed Vodafone’s decision to eliminate permanent contracts for clients not requiring a handset and cut prices for customers on its “Base” tariffs. Spain, the Eurozone’s fourth-largest economy, started to emerge from recession during the second quarter, Economy Minister Luis de Guindos has said: “We don’t have all the data regarding this quarter” but “it is much less bad than the previous one,” he told an economic gathering in Santander, northern Spain. In the first three months of the year, Spain shrank by 0.5 per cent on a quarterly basis, its seventh straight quarterly decline. But De Guindos said the second quarter “marks a turning point, with quarterly growth that should be closer to zero. This turning point may indicate that we were leaving the recession behind us,” he said. Spain’s Minister of Education, Culture and Sport, Jose Ignacio Wert, has said that he and the finance minister Cristóbal Montoro are “completely open” to reviewing the country’s VAT rate on culture, currently the highest in Europe, provided it is compatible with the “objectives of fiscal consolidation”. This follows a proposal from the president of the Spanish autonomous region of Extremadura, José Antonio Monago, to reduce VAT on cultural goods and services, including the sale and import of works of art, private museum entrance fees, and cinema and theatre tickets, from 21% to 13%. The higher rate has been in force across the whole of Spain since September 2012, when it jumped from 8% to 21%. Public museums and non-profit organisations are exempt. At the time, the Madrid art dealer Helga de Alvear called the VAT hike “tragic”. Wert said last week that “no culture or even finance minister likes to raise taxes”, adding that he is aware of the complications sparked by the rise and how it has affected attendance at exhibitions.

Foreign Office Mugging Warning “Spend Your Time At The Festival, Not With Us”, Foreign Office Warns Music Fans Visiting Spain

British music fans heading for festivals in Spain this summer are being warned to keep their possessions safe from thieves if they want to avoid spending time with the police and British Consulates instead of enjoying the music.

A new video on YouTube at https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ii7pW26_ Td0 contrasts the fun of festivals with victims of crime talking about how having their stuff stolen ruined a good time. It’s already attracting thousands of views. “Within a minute, we turned round, the bag was gone”, says one. “I’d been warned but you never think it’s going to happen to you”, adds another, as the video shows victims who found out just how quickly and easily things can disappear. The video was filmed during Festival Internacional de Benicassim (FIB) last year. Its message - “Make sure you spend your time at the festival, not with us” – aims to encourage music fans to keep their belongings safe before going off to enjoy the beach or a gig. Dave Thomas, Consular Director responsible for Spain, said: “Two simple steps can help you avoid becoming a victim of crime at festivals. First, don’t leave your valuables behind in your tent or out of sight even for a minute - keep them in a zipped pocket or bag. Second, treat your passport as a valuable document: if it gets lost or stolen you’ll miss out on the festival while you are getting a new one to get home.” Getting a replacement travel document is both time-consuming and expensive, and British Consulates – which

are always busier during music festivals – say the more cases they can prevent, the better. The YouTube video can be found at https://www.youtube.com/

view of tourism, business and socio-economic development.” The newly opened section extends the existing high-speed line from Madrid to Albacete on to Alicante – a total distance of 360 kilometres. The cost of the extension was 1.9 billion euros. It has been estimated that the line will boost the GDP of the Alicante region by about 70 million euros per

year and create 735 jobs. Perhaps down to the recession, highspeed passenger numbers fell last year by 2.6%, but is up 14% since February after some fares were cut by 14%. However a third of Spain’s underused, loss-making and heavily subsidised medium-distance rail services have recently been scrapped and mostly replaced by buses.

High Speed Rail Programme On Track

Spain’s economy may be in serious trouble, but its high-speed rail programme remains on track with the opening of the entire line between Madrid and the coastal city of Alicante on Monday. The journey time has been cut by 50 minutes to two hours and 20 minutes. The opening ceremony was attended by Spain’s Crown Prince Felipe and Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and regular services started on Tuesday. Prince Felipe stressed the importance of infrastructure development to Spain’s economy. The country’s rail industry is also involved in bids for building high-speed lines in Brazil and Oman. Moises Jimenez, the head of the Alicante Business Confederation, said he hoped the opening of the new line would help the local economy: “The people of Alicante, and the entire area must continue to make it an attractive destination from the point of

www.tenerife-weekly.com A British expat schoolgirl, who lives in Cue, a small village near the seaside town of Llanes in Spain’s northern Asturias region, has scored the highest mark in Spain’s university entrance exam just like her sister who did the same two years ago.

Cordelia Pickford, 18, scored 9.95 out of a possible 10 for her bachillerato, the Spanish equivalent of Alevels, boosting her grade to 13.85 out of a possible 14 with two extra subjects. She scored full marks in Greek, English, Spanish Language and Literature, and Latin and 9.5 out of 10 in both Philosophy and Technical Drawing. She came top in the region of Asturias, which is the first of Spain’s 17 semi-autonomous regions to declare the exam results. When results from all the regions are collated she is expected to be the highest in the country and among the highest scorers ever recorded in Spain, mirroring elder sister’s achievement two years ago. Anastasia achieved a 9.85 out of ten when she took the exams in 2011 with an overall mark of 13.7 and is now studying Veterinary Studies at Madrid’s Complutense University. Cordelia wants to join her at the same university in September to study Art and Design. “We are incredibly proud of both of our girls,” said father Tim Pickford, “Everyone is saying how amazing it is to have two sisters achieve the top mark but it is all down to their own hard work,” said the econ-

Mother & Baby Reunited After 40 Years

More than forty years after her new born baby was snatched, a mother has found her son after DNA tests proved they are related, a rare happy ending in Spain’s “stolen babies” scandal dating back to the Franco era.

The woman, whose name has not been released, now lives in the French city of Tours, and works as a teacher: “I am living a fairy tale, “It is incredible. I feel euphoric. I have had terrible highs and lows. When I wake up in the morning, I tell myself that he is there, that he exists and then I am afraid of losing him.” Her son, now aged 43, still lives in Valencia, eastern Spain where he was born and then adopted. The woman, who had a Spanish father and a French mother, was 22 when she became pregnant out of wedlock. Her father, who she de-

scribed as “very, very strict”, took her to a convent to give birth on July 12, 1969. Despite her father’s repeated promises that she would be able to keep her baby, he gave the baby to the nuns at the convent without MarieJose’s consent. “It was a nightmare,” she said “I never spoke to my father again.” Her mother died of cancer three years after

her son was taken, and her father died two years later, also from cancer. This mother and her son are amongst the thousands of families said to have fallen victim to the stolen babies’ scandal in Spain. Under the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, the new born’s of some left-wing opponents of the regime or unmarried couples were re-

moved from their mothers and adopted. Some mothers were told that their babies had died after birth. The thought process being that the child would be better off raised by rich, devout Roman Catholic families. The system outlived Franco’s death in 1975 and continued until at least the 1980s as an illegal baby trafficking network.

masters: “We didn’t push them particularly, we just opened the door for them and they did all the work themselves. They both developed a tremendous work ethic. When Anastasia came in with the 13.7 two years ago we were told it was the highest score that year across Spain and now Cordelia has scored even higher.” Cordelia, who is building a reputation as an artist and has already sold 120 watercolours following an exhibition of her paintings in Llanes last September, said she was in “complete shock” over her achievement. “I never felt there was any pressure to match my sister’s top score but then amazingly I did. I got the results and I just couldn’t believe it. It really hasn’t sunk in,” she said. But the teenager, who also enjoys playing golf and has a handicap of ten, admits that she did work very hard. “I studied four hours a day after school and then seven hours a day once study leave started.” My sister is really happy for me, and we are looking forward to living together in Madrid next year,” she added. The two girls and their younger brother Benedict, 14, were all pupils at the local state school in Llanes where the main teaching language is in Spanish. “A parent always wonders if they are doing the best thing for their children and when we took the decision to move to Spain we did have worries,” said Mr Pickford. “But as things turned out, in terms of our children’s education it was undoubtedly the best thing we could have done.”

Longest Serving Nun Dies at 105

Sister Teresita Barajuen, believed to hold the world record of 86 years cloistered in a monastery has died in Spain. Sister Maria Romero, abbess of the Buenafuente del Sistal monastery northeast of Madrid she had died overnight. She was 105. Sister Barajuen entered the

Cistercian monastery when she was 19, she acknowledged in interviews that like many young women at the time, she never intended being a nun but entered the monastery because of family pressure. In 2011, Barajuen left the monastery for the first time in 40 years to meet retired Benedict XVI during a papal visit to Madrid. She had entered the monastery on the same day he was born.

investigators Say Spain is number one for ‘Benefit fraud abroad’

ITH an estimated 800,000 Britons living in Spain, it’s the number one country in the world for Britons committing ‘benefit fraud abroad’. More allegations are made about people living in Spain whilst continuing to receive uK benefits than in any other country where British expatriates live.

So investigators from the Department of Work & Pension have today (17 June) issued a fresh appeal to British expats to report anyone they suspect of fraudulently claiming UK benefits whilst living in Spain, to help stop taxpayers’ money being wasted on benefit thieves when it could be spent on valuable public services such as hospitals and schools. Married couple Peter and Marilyn Flanders from Exmouth, Devon lied to benefit officials about having no income or property in order to claim a variety of means-tested UK benefits including housing and council tax benefit. It later transpired that the couple owned a villa in Spain that, if declared, would have made them

“I’m So Excited” Premiers In LA

Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar’s latest film “I’m So Excited!” is a raunchy comedy that the Oscar-winning director said marks a return to his roots as a satirist even as it delivers critical commentary on modern-day Spain.

The Spanish-language movie, which opened the Los Angeles Film Festival on Thursday and will be on limited release in U.S. cinemas on June 28th, follows passengers on a flight from Spain to Mexico City after their plane experiences a serious malfunction. In the film, the pilots and flamboyant flight attendants distract the passengers by providing them with alcohol and drugs, which leads to sex and dancing to the 1982 Pointer Sisters’ hit song “I’m So Excited.” Almodovar, 63, returns to his comedy past after exploring more dramatic themes over the past decade, including 2002’s “Talk To Her” - which won him a best original screenplay Oscar - and 2011’s “The Skin I Live In.” “During the ‘80s, I made a lot of comedies, so this was like returning to my roots,” Almodovar said. “I think I just needed to make something lighter.” Spanish Hollywood A-listers Antonio Banderas and Penelope Cruz make appearances, alongside several actors who previously worked with Almodovar, including Javier Camara, Lola Duenas, Cecilia Roth and Blanca Suarez.. Almodovar said he unconsciously

used the vision of sexually explicit American filmmaker John Waters, who directed 1988’s “Hairspray” and 2004’s “A Dirty Shame.” He referred to him as “one of my best American friends.” With Waters in mind, Almodovar said the film has elements that may lead viewers to describe it as “dirty,” as the passengers “do everything that is forbidden on a plane.”

“In Spain, being excited means being horny,” the director said. “In the second part of the movie, this is the state of the passengers.” Almodovar, who is gay, grew up during the repressive rule of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. After his death in 1975, democracy suddenly brought a “big explosion of freedom,” he said. While “I’m So Excited!” was intend-

ed to play for laughs, Almodovar said it is also a metaphor for Spain that has been hit by a two-year recession that has left about a quarter of its workforce jobless. The director said the film reflects the “political corruption and financial embezzlement” that has ensnared the country, and its banking crisis that required a $54 billion (41 billion euro) European Union-backed bail-

out last year. “What is metaphorical (in this movie) is that journey which consists in turning around in circles without knowing where they are going to land,” Almodovar said. “They need an emergency landing but don’t know exactly who will be commanding (it).There is a lot of fear and uncertainly - two words that define my feeling as a Spanish citizen.”

An apparent error by tax authorities has sparked a week of confusion and intrigue in Spain, culminating in Princess Cristina receiving an apology from a senior government minister yesterday.

Last week, the tax office informed an investigating judge that Cristina, King Juan Carlos’s younger daughter, had sold 13 properties worth a total of 1.4 million Euros in 2005 and 2006. The revelation was part of an inquiry by Judge José Castro to decide whether the princess and her husband, Iñaki Urdangarin, had committed tax fraud. Princess Cristina flatly denied the information about the sale of the plots of land, in Alicante, Ciudad Real and Barcelona. The current owners corroborated her version of events, telling the Spanish media they did not buy any of the prop-

erties from the princess. Finance minister Cristóbal Montoro, whose department oversees the tax office, apologised when he appeared before Congress on Wednesday: “What happened is simply an error of administrative procedure,” he said. “It is regrettable that it should happen and so first of all I must say sorry to the royal family.” Mr Montoro’s silence about the matter had allowed speculation about Princess Cristina’s financial affairs to rage, and fuelled a range of conspiracy theories in the media and on internet forums. The mistake itself was apparently based on repeated mix-ups over the princess’s national identity card number; an error that experts say is possible but highly unusual.

“Technically I don’t know how this has happened,” Mr Montoro admitted, as he tried to scotch the conspiracy theories. “Don’t claim to see ghosts flying around: these are purely one-off, administrative errors. If you say that these kinds of errors don’t happen, then you don’t understand that world.” He added that the tax office was under enormous pressure due to the volume of work it had and that there would be an investigation into the affair. While the announcement about the princess’s supposed mass property selloff was unwelcome publicity for the royals, the admission that the information was false has undermined the credibility of Spain’s tax authority – and by extension the finance ministry.

Snap – Kate To Give Birth at Same Hospital As Diana

he Duchess of Cambridge will give birth at the same hospital wing where Diana, Princess of Wales, had Princes William and Harry. Kate is expected to have a natural birth at the private suites of the Lindo Wing in St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, next month.

Despite months of speculation, the Duchess and Prince William have chosen not to find out the gender of their first child in advance of its arrival. While Kate’s exact due date remains a secret, Kensington Palace has confirmed Prince William intends to be by his wife’s side during labour, despite being on duty in Anglesey in the run up to the Duchess’ due date. The Queen’s former gynaecologist, Marcus Setchell, will deliver the baby. Mr Setchell treated Kate while she was suffering from acute morning sickness. Assisting Mr Setchell will be the Queen’s current gynaecologist Alan Farthing, the former fiancé of murdered TV presenter Jill Dando. It has also become clear how the announcement will be made upon the birth of the future monarch who will become third in line to the throne. The first indication Kate has given birth will be when a bulletin or ‘notice of birth’ is publicly transferred from the Paddington hospital by car to Buckingham Pal-

ace. The notice, signed by key medical staff, will confirm the time of birth, weight and gender of the couple’s baby, and will be placed by a footman on an easel on the Palace forecourt in public view. The easel is understood to be the same as that used for the announcement

of Prince William’s birth in 1982. But the bulletin will be transferred from the hospital only once key members of the Royal family, including the Queen, and the Middleton family have been notified about the good news. Birth announcement plans are likely to be adapted should the

Duchess of Cambridge be admitted to hospital late in the evening or during the night. Kensington Palace says it is unclear at this stage when the name of the couple’s first baby will be announced. In the case of Prince Harry, it was on the day he was born, but it took a few days before the

name ‘William’ was made public. After pausing for photographs as a family for the first time on the steps of the Lindo Wing once Kate is discharged, it is understood Prince William will take the statutory two weeks paternity leave before returning to work as a search and rescue pilot.

Crash Cow Good Catch

A cow that managed to clamber on to the roof of a garage before falling through had to be rescued by fire fighters. The animal spent 24 hours wedged in a car inspection pit at the unit next to a farmer’s field in Bere Alston, Devon.

A farmer called the fire service after finding one of his valuable beef breeding cows stuck in the pit. It is not known how the young heifer managed to scale the roof of the garage. Officers from Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service spent two and a half hours heaving the cow out of the pit. Paul Bray, community safety protection manager for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, said: “To

assist in the rescue of the cow, the inspection pit was flooded with water, to give buoyancy to the cow, and straw was packed around the feet of the cow to form a ramp. The ramp was further reinforced by placing a plank under the front of the cow. “Lines were then attached to the cow and, when everything was in place, crews worked together to heave

the cow out of the inspection pit. Thanks to the pre-planning and good teamwork, the cow came out the pit fairly easily. It was unable to stand at first and was given a health check by a vet, who had been called to the scene.” Mr Bray said the cow had been missing for at least 24 hours and had probably been wedged in the pit for the whole time.

Cristina Torre, 44, had been walking in Brooklyn when she spotted the boy hanging from the awning of the building. The boy fell, but landed in her outstretched arms: “The baby was dangling,” she recalled. “I just put out my arms when I saw him coming down, and luckily he literally landed straight in my arms on his back.” A witness, Kristen Bramsen, said: “The baby was shaken. Everyone was going up to the woman and hugging her. I hugged her. She just smiled and said she was in shock.” The boy is thought to have crawled through a piece of cardboard placed next to an

air conditioning unit in the window of his family’s second-floor home and fell onto the awning. He was taken to Lutheran Medical Centre where he was being treated for lacerations to the face. Joe Torre, a former all-star catcher, was New York Yankees’ manager from 1996 to 2007, leading the team to

four World Series championship titles. “I am very proud of my daughter Cristina’s actions today during an incident in Brooklyn involving a small child,” he said in a statement. “Fortunately for that child she was in the right place at the right time to lend a hand.”

Girl Guide all Change for promise Changes food labelling

THE phrase “to love my God” has been dropped from the Girl Guide promise after a consultation suggested different words are needed to include the non-religious. Instead, girls joining the organisation will now be asked to “be true to myself and develop my beliefs”.

The mention of vowing to love or serve God has been included in the promise since the Guides began in 1910. Originally, new members were asked to “do my duty to God”, and this was changed to “love my God” in 1994. The new promise also asks guides “to serve the Queen and my community” instead of “the Queen and my country”. It is the 11th time in the organisation’s history that the promise has been changed The move has been welcomed by secular groups who said it was a “hugely positive” development. Around 44,000 people re-

sponded to the consultation on changing the wording of the oath, Girlguiding a leading UK charity for girls and young women with 546,406 members, said. Chief guide Gill Slocombe said: “We hope that our new promise will allow all girls - of all faiths and none to understand and feel proud of their commitment.” The new promise reads: “I promise that I will do my best: to be true to myself and develop my beliefs, to serve the Queen and my community, to help other people and to keep the (Brownie) Guide

law.” Stephen Evans, campaigns manager at the National Secular Society, said: “By omitting any explicit mention of God or religion the Guide Association has grasped the opportunity to make itself truly inclusive and relevant to the reality of 21st century Britain.” The Guide Association also runs the Rainbows which is for five to seven-yearolds, Brownies, for seven to 10-year-olds, Guides for 10 to 14-year-olds and the Senior Section for 14-25-year-olds.

unTIL now, businesses had different labels on the front of their products to try to explain the nutritional value of meals and drinks, leading to confusion for customers. But now major supermarkets and food manufacturers are introducing a new traffic light labelling system to help people make healthier choices. “It’s a traffic light system,” said Janet Taylor, diet and health manager for The Co-operative Food. “This is basically to help customers make an informed choice; you can clearly see how much fat, saturated fat, sugar and salt is in the product. A green traffic light indicates a healthy choice, amber indicates an OK choice and red, well, you should eat this product in moderation. So it really is helping customers choose healthier options.” As well as The Co-operative, they include Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Waitrose, McCain Foods, Mars UK, Nestlé UK, PepsiCo UK

and Premier Foods have all signed up to the new agreement, accounting for more than 60% of food sold in the UK Public Health Minister Anna Soubry said: “The UK already has the largest number of products using a front-of-pack label in Europe. But we know that people get confused by the variety of labels that are used. Research shows that of all the current schemes, people like this label the most and they can use the information to make healthier choices. “We all have a responsibility to tackle the challenge of obesity, including the food industry. By having all major retailers and manufacturers signed up to the consistent label, we will all be able to see at a glance what is in our food - this is why I want to see more manufacturers signing up and using the label.” The new labelling should start appearing over the next few months, with the majority of products made or sold by participating companies relabelled by the end of next year.

www.tenerife-weekly.com Star of The Sopranos, James Gandolfini died suddenly of a suspected heart attack while on holiday in Italy. He was 51. He died on Wednesday in Rome, and had been due to appear at a film festival in Sicily at the weekend.

The star was best known for his Emmy-winning portrayal of New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano in television series. Sopranos creator David Chase said Gandolfini was one of the greatest actors of all time: “He was a genius. Anyone who saw him even in the smallest of his performances knows that. He is one of the greatest actors of this or any time. A great deal of genius resided in those sad eyes.” Gandolfini married former model Deborah Lin in 2008, and their daughter was born last year. He also has a son from a previous relationship. Many fans have flocked to the diner featured in the final scene of The Sopranos to pay their respects. TV network HBO, which was behind the hit series, described him as a “special man” and a “great talent”. “We’re all in shock and feeling immeasurable sadness at the loss of a beloved member of our family,” a statement said. “He was a special man, a great talent, but more importantly a gentle and loving

Mob Boss Soprano Dies At 51

Murray Walker Diagnosed With Cancer

People’s favourite motor sport commentator Murray Walker is scheduled to undergo chemotherapy over the next few months after he was diagnosed with cancer.

The 89-year-old said he had a form of lymphatic system cancer, but said the condition was treatable: “They’ve caught it incredibly early. It’s treatable, the doctors say my condition is mild and I’m very hopeful.” Walker was diagnosed with the illness during tests after breaking his pelvis in a fall last month. His distinctive commentating style became synonymous with motor racing as he covered the sport for more than half a century before retiring in 2001. According to the Cancer Research UK

website, the lymphatic system is a system of thin tubes that runs throughout the body. These tubes are called lymph vessels or lymphatic vessels. It is like the blood circulation - the vessels branch through all parts of the body like the arteries and veins that carry blood. But the lymphatic system tubes are much finer and carry a colourless liquid called lymph, which contains a high number of lymphocytes or white blood cells. Plasma leaks out of the capillaries to surround and bathe the body tissues. This then drains into the lymph vessels.

person who treated everyone - no matter their title or position - with equal respect.” Since The Sopranos ended in 2007, Gandolfini has appeared in a number of film roles, including thriller Zero Dark Thirty and the comedy The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. He also shared a Broadway stage in 2009 with Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis and Marcia Gay Harden in a celebrated production of God Of Carnage, for which he won a Tony Award nomination for best actor. He also was in On The Waterfront with David Morse. At the time of his death, he had been working on a new HBO series titled Criminal Justice. “It is with immense sorrow that we report our client James Gandolfini passed away today while on holiday in Rome, Italy,” his managers said in a statement. “Our hearts are shattered and we will miss him deeply. He and his family were part of our family for many years and we are all grieving.” In a December 2012 interview, Gandolfini said he gravitated to acting as a release to get rid of anger: “I don’t know what exactly I was angry about,” he said. “I try to avoid certain things and certain kinds of violence at this point. I’m getting older, too. I don’t want to be beating people up as much. I don’t want to be beating women up and those kinds of things that much anymore.”

Unity: A Concert For Stephen Lawrence

A concert in memory of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence, 20 years after he was stabbed to death, will feature Emeli Sande, Rizzle Kicks and Labrinth. The event at London’s O2 Arena will raise funds for a trust set up in his name to help young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Plan B, Jamie Cullum, Jessie J, Tinie Tempah, Ed Sheeran, Rudimental and Soul II Soul are also among the stars taking part in the show scheduled to take place on September 29th designed to champion young people. Stephen’s mother, Doreen Lawrence, who founded the trust, said: “We work every day to empower youth and we’re so proud that the music industry is joining us in reaching out to change the lives of young people. I want young people to feel inspired, be confident and have hope in their own future. There have been a further 106 racist murders since Stephen was killed 20 years ago and there are still too many young people who do not have a sense of hope.” Her son was 18 when he was stabbed in a racist attack in Eltham, southeast London, in April 1993. Two men - Gary

Dobson and David Norris - were found guilty of the murder last year and the police investigation remains “live”. The show, Unity: A Concert For Stephen Lawrence, has been backed by London Mayor Boris Johnson. Tickets will go on sale on Friday (today) at www.aeglive. co.uk.

Energy Efficiency Electric Projects

www.tenerife-weekly.com Google has unveiled plans to provide the internet to the billions who cannot currently access the web using balloons circling the globe. The internet giant’s secretive X research lab is behind the move, called Project Loon in recognition of how strange the idea sounds.

Scientists launched a trial last Saturday in New Zealand’s South Island, letting off a string of jellyfishshaped balloons in the sky about Lake Tekapo. The aim is for the helium-filled inflatables, which are made from plastic film, to beam the internet back down to earth as they sail past on the wind. It has taken18 months to reach this point. Ultimately Google hopes to launch thousands of balloons into the stratosphere and bridge the digital divide between the 4.8 billion offline and 2.2 billion online. If successful, the technology could allow countries to avoid the expense of laying fibre cable and dramatically increase internet use in areas such as Africa and southeast Asia. Project leader Mike Cassidy said: “It’s a huge moonshot. A really big goal to go after. The power of the internet is probably one of the most transformative technologies of our time.” Project Loon founder Richard DeVaul added: “It’s a very fundamentally democratic thing that what links everyone together is the sky and the winds.” Charles Nimmo, a farmer and entrepreneur from outside Christchurch, was the first person to receive Google Balloon internet access after signing up with 50 others to test out the project. It was kept such a secret that no-one would explain to

the guinea pigs what they were involved in. Technicians came to their homes and attached bright red receivers the size of basketballs and resembling giant Google map pins to the outside walls. Engineers used eight large laptops to check wind data and manoeuvre the balloons over peaks by making sure they floated at a particular level. Mr Nimmo had internet access for around 15 minutes before the bal-

loon transmitting it sailed past - he used it to check the weather: “It’s been weird but it’s been exciting to be part of something new,” he said of the experience. The balloons take power from card table-sized solar panels dangling down and picking up enough charge in four hours to last a day. They travel below satellites but twice as high as aeroplanes, and receive signals from ground stations below. Each balloon could provide

an internet service for an area twice the size of New York City, about 780 square miles, and terrain is not a challenge. This means they could stream it into the Khyber Pass in Afghanistan, or Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon, a country where the World Bank estimates four in 100 people are online. Anyone using Google Balloon Internet would need a receiver plugged into their computer to get

TV Licence Evasion Excuses O fficials have exposed some of the excuses people give for not having a television licence. More than 400,000 people in the UK were caught last year watching TV without valid paperwork, which is more than 1,000 a day. The annual levy - £145 for a colour licence and £49 for a black and white - is used to help fund the BBC’s domestic television, radio and internet services. TV Licensing has launched a drive to encourage more people to pay up and has teamed with a Bafta-winning animator to bring some of the excuses to life in a short-film, published on YouTube. “Joking and wacky excuses apart, it’s breaking the law to watch live television without a licence, so anybody doing this risks prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000,” said spokesman Stephen Farmer. “Some of the excuses are simply hilarious whilst others show a great deal of imagination and creativity,

but being caught without a valid TV licence is a criminal offence and no laughing matter.” The revenue-raising authority provides reduced rates for certain people. Anyone certified

as either blind or severely sightimpaired are entitled to a 50% reduction in the fee. Care home residents may qualify for a discounted fee of £7.50, but are warned that resi-

dents, staff and residents’ families all need a separate licence for their own living area. Senior citizens are entitled to a free licence when they reach the age of 75.

the signal, the costs of which have yet to be disclosed. Because the signals travel through the unlicensed spectrum, the firm would not have to go through difficult regulatory procedures for wireless communication. Mr Cassidy said the next phase of the launch was to fly 300 balloons in a ring on the 40th parallel south from New Zealand through Australia, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina.

Here are some of the excuses offered for not having a licence: • “Why would I need a TV licence for a TV I stole? Nobody knows I’ve got it.” Kilmarnock, Scotland. • “I have lost weight recently and had to buy new clothes. That’s why I could not afford to buy a TV licence.” Manchester. • “I had not paid as I received a lethal injection.” Location unknown. • “Apparently my dog, which is a corgi, was related to the Queen’s dog so I didn’t think I needed a TV licence.” Belfast, Northern Ireland. • “I don’t want to pay for a licence for a full year. Knowing my luck I’ll be dead in six months and won’t get value for money.” Cardiff, Wales. • “I could not pay for my TV licence because the Olympic torch was coming down my road and I could not get to the shop as the road was too busy.” London. • “I only use my TV as a lamp. If you switch it on it gives a good glow which allows me to read my book.” Dundee, Scotland. • “Only my three-year-old son watches the TV. Can you take it out of the family allowance I receive for him? He watches it so he should pay.” Manchester. • “I got caught shoplifting so I’m barred from the shop that takes PayPoint payments.” Leeds.

ian Brady public appearance

iron man Saves the Day for toddler

EIGHTEEn-MonTH-oLD Jaxson Denno had been told by his mother that he was going to meet the superhero Iron Man. However But the toddler was confused because the Hollywood star was not wearing his trademark metallic red and gold suit and became distraught.

MoorS murderer Ian Brady is making his first public appearance for decades at a tribunal to assess his mental health. Serial killer Brady, 75, wants to be transferred from the highsecurity psychiatric hospital where he has been kept for the past 26 years to a prison .He has made it known that he wants to starve himself to death.

Brady has been on successive hunger strikes for the past 14 years but is classed as a patient, staff at Ashworth Hospital on Merseyside have a duty to keep him alive by force-feeding him. Brady has successfully campaigned for a public mental health tribunal, believing that if he is declared sane he would be transferred to a prison where he could die behind bars. The tribunal held at Ashworth, but relayed via closed-circuit TV to Manchester’s Civil Justice Centre, enabling the public and press to follow proceedings. The hearing, which is expected to last about a week, was postponed last July because Brady suffered a seizure. In the 1960s, Ian Brady and his girlfriend Myra Hindley lured children to

their deaths. Some of their victims were sexually tortured before being buried on Saddleworth Moor above Manchester. Pauline Reade, 16, John Kilbride, aged 12, Keith Bennett, also 12, Lesley Ann Downey, 10 and 17-year-old Edward Evans were all victims of the pair. Keith Bennett’s remains were never

found, despite extensive searches and police taking the killers back to the Moor in 1987. The judge has said that questions relating to the whereabouts of the body will not be considered by the tribunal. Myra Hindley died in prison in November 2002, aged 60.

Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. has been described as “amazing” after he comforted Jaxson who cried because the star was not in costume. His mother Heather had taken her son to watch filming for the star’s latest movie The Judge in the town of Sunderland, Massachusetts. She explained the actor had noticed the child, began waving to the little boy and finally went over

to say hello: “I said to my son, ‘Hey, here’s ‘Iron Man,’ but he didn’t have the red suit on so Jaxson put his hands over his face and got upset,” said Ms Denno. But it seems the star knew what to do to help the youngster. “He was amazing. You could tell he was a father,” said Ms Denno. “He was so sweet and nurturing.”

www.tenerife-weekly.com Thousands of well-wishers turned out in central London to watch the Trooping the Colour. More than 1,000 soldiers and horses took part in the traditional display of pomp and pageantry to celebrate the Queen’s official birthday.

The monarch was accompanied by her cousin the Duke of Kent for the carriage ride from Buckingham Palace to Horse Guards Parade, as her husband is still in hospital following exploratory abdominal surgery It is thought to be only the third time that Prince Philip has missed the event after not attending in 1962 and 1968 when he was away on royal tours. The Duchess of Cambridge made her last public engagement at Trooping the Colour before her baby is born in mid-July. She rode in a carriage with the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry. Kate, who was wearing a pale pink Alexander McQueen coat and matching hat, smiled and waved at the crowds lining the route. The Duke of York was with his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. In the last coach were the Earl and Countess of Wessex with their daughter Lady Louise MountbattenWindsor. On horseback during the ceremony were the Prince of Wales, who is Colonel of the Welsh Guards, the Princess Royal, who is Colonel of the Blues and Royals, and the Duke of Cambridge, who is Colonel of the Irish Guards. The procession was being accompanied by a Sovereign’s Escort of the Household Cavalry, made up of Life Guards and Blues and Royals, in their silver and gold breastplates and plumed helmets. The Colour being paraded on Horse Guards this year was the flag of the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards. The unit have recently returned from operational service in Afghanistan where they worked as part of the Afghan Police Advisory Team assisting the country to achieve selfgovernance. Four of the five Foot Guards regiments of the Household Division the Welsh Guards, Grenadier Guards, Scots Guards and the Coldstream Guards - marched in the parade wearing bearskin hats and red tunics. The Household Division Bands and Corps of Drums also took part, as did the King’s Troop Royal Horse

Artillery who, following the parade, fired a 41-gun salute in Green Park to mark the Queen’s official birthday. The Queen, dressed in a royal blue Angela Kelly coat and hat with a matching lace dress, looked on under cloudy skies which parted now and then to reveal the sun. Her Majesty was cheered by crowds gathered along the Mall as she was driven back to the palace. After the Queen took the salute on Horse Guards, the royals headed back to Buckingham Palace to gather on the balcony to watch the traditional flypast by the RAF. Several types of aircraft took part including RAF Awacs, Typhoons, Tornadoes and the Red Arrows, with the royal family craning their necks

to see the formations roar overhead. Trooping the Colour originated from traditional preparations for battle. Colours, or flags, were carried, or “trooped”, down the rank so that it could be seen and recognised by the soldiers. In the 18th century, guards from the royal palaces assembled daily on Horse Guards to “troop the colours”, and in 1748 it was announced that the parade would also mark the Sovereign’s official birthday. The Queen’s actual birthday was on April 21, when she turned 87. The Queen visited the Duke of Edinburgh in hospital after she attended the annual Trooping the Colour parade without him. Buckingham Palace said Her Majesty made the visit “quietly and privately”.

(£32), a price company spokeswoman Kiyoko Hayasaki said came from its use of bits of mobile phones: “We were able to set the price at this relatively cheap level because we took some key parts from stocks that are widely available in the market for smartphones,” she said. Elsewhere at the exhibition, toymakers showcased tablet computers specifically for small children: “Children like to emulate what adults do, and a survey said 90% of tablet computer users let their children use their tablets,” said Yuki Itagaki, a spokeswoman for MegaHouse, a subsidiary of major Japanese toy maker Bandai Namco Holdings. MegaHouse’s “tap me” is a tablet specifically developed for use by children aged between four and eight, with built-in parental controls, including a timer that limits use. “When the timer reaches the set time, the tablet shows a sleeping face instead of turning off,” Ms Itagaki said. “Children can’t bring tablets to their parents and say ‘hey, the power is off. Turn it on please’.” Despite its price tag of 20,790 yen (£219), MegaHouse aims to sell 100,000 “tap me” computers in the coming 12 months. US toy maker Mattel was showing off its Apptivity Monkey, a fluffy monkey which acts as a protective case for Apple’s iPhone. The case keeps it safe from over-enthusiastic toddlers, who can press buttons on the creature’s limbs to create music. Japan’s Takara Tomy has a stand for the iPhone that dances along to the music it is playing: “We hope adults with a sense of fun like this product,”

TInY toy helicopter made from bits of smartphones was among the main attractions at a huge toy show in Tokyo. The motor that makes a telephone vibrate provides the power for the rotor blades on the nano-falcon, which its makers say is the world’s smallest radio-controlled helicopter.

The 6.5cm-long (2.4in) machine weighs just 11 grams (0.385 ounces), has a range of five metres (15 feet) and can fly for five minutes. Makers say they are feeding the fantasies of adults who never really grew up: “Japan’s ageing population made us think of developing a toy targeting adults,” said Naoki Nakagawa, head of sales at maker CCP. Ten or twenty years ago, helicopter-toys could cost a lot of money. Those who couldn’t afford it at the time can now make their childhood dream come true at a reasonable price.” The mini machine retails at around 4,700 yen

uS PrESIDEnT Barack obama told 2,000 students in Belfast ahead of the G8 summit that when peace was achieved in northern Ireland, it gave the world hope: “You’re the first generation in this land to inherit more than just the hardened attitudes and bitter prejudices of the past. You now live in a thoroughly modern northern Ireland.”

His young audience described as “the generation of peace” - people born after the ceasefires. He said day-to-day life was changing “throughout the north”, adding that there was a time when a gathering of world leaders in Northern Ireland would have been “unimaginable”. The president and his wife Michelle were introduced by 16-year-old schoolgirl Hannah Nelson, who said she wanted to see a permanent peace in her homeland: “We should not let the past pull us apart and stop us moving forward. Somehow we need to make a brighter future, a future that builds bridges and brings people together,” she said. Mr Obama’s comments took on a particular signifi-

cance with the G8 summit in Lough Erne looking set to be dominated by international tensions over Syria. Earlier, David Cameron said he is “as

worried as anyone” about terrorist and extremist elements among opposition forces fighting to oust President Bashar Assad, and no

decision has been made on arming the Syrian opposition. The on-going conflict in Syria threatens to overshadow the summit’s discussions

on trade, tax and transparency, after Mr Obama announced he was ready to start supplying weapons to the rebels seeking to over-

throw Mr Assad. Speaking at Lough Erne, Mr Cameron said: “Let’s be clear - I am as worried as anybody else about elements of the Syrian opposition, who are extremists, who support terrorism and who are a great danger to our world. The question is what do we do about it? My argument is that we shouldn’t accept that the only alternative to Assad is terrorism and violence. We should be on the side of Syrians who want a democratic and peaceful future for their country and one without the man who is currently using chemical weapons against them. What we can try and do here at the G8 is have further pressure for the peace conference and the transition that is needed to bring this conflict to an end.” Mr Cameron and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in London on Sunday to discuss the crisis in Syria, but appeared to have reached little common ground. With Mr Obama engaged in the serious business of world politics, the First Lady and their daughters will pay private visits to Dublin and Wicklow. Two years ago, the president and his wife went to Moneygall in County Offaly, from where his great, great, great grandfather, Falmouth Kearney, emigrated in 1850 before settling in Indiana.

Bale Bails On Justice League Movie

Several weeks back I reported on a potential Justice League movie featuring Henry Cavill, reprising his Superman role in “Man of Steel”, alongside Christian Bale donning the Batcowl for a fourth time with The Dark Knight’s writing and directing team on the other side of the camera-however this would all depend on the success of “Man of Steel”.

Sadly, even with the new superman flick flying high at the box office it seems now that this will never happen. In a recent interview David Goyer dashed all hope claiming that Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight version of Batman exists within its own universe

and although Bruce Wayne is referenced in “Man of Steel”, it’s not Bale’s version; “Man of Steel” director Zack Snyder is insistent that Bruce Wayne exists in his new movie universe, but that it’s separate and distinct from the Nolan trilogy’s world. He acknowledged the studio’s hopes for a super team up along the lines of “The Avengers,” but noted that it all depends on how this one does at the box office. While Goyer isn’t officially signed on, he said that if “Man of Steel” is a huge hit, “I would be happy, and nervous, to dive in.” So there you have it, Nolan’s Batman was a story told and finished with his trilogy and any future version will reinvent the character againGoyer also claimed that an entirely new script would be written for any potential JLA

movie; “God forbid [‘Man of Steel’ doesn’t do well], things will change. I don’t know how many different iterations of ‘Justice League’ they’ve tried to mount over the last decade or so. But for one reason or another, they haven’t happened. I think Warner Bros. has seen — and Chris deserves the biggest credit for this — that we were able to revitalize Batman... And they’re hoping that Superman will be revitalized as well. And if we can do Batman and Superman, then maybe we can move on to Wonder Woman, and the Flash and characters like that.” That probably means standalone movies for the Flash, Wonder Woman, and maybe Aquaman and Martian Manhunter too - don’t expect an Avengers style Justice League movie anytime soon!!

He’ll Be Back

The Governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger, confirmed last week that he will be returning to play his most famous role- the unstoppable T800 cyborg Killer in the upcoming Terminator 5.

Shooting begins in January next year and it will be the fourth time Arnie has played the iconic role - the fourth movie featured Sam Worthington as a different model of Terminator although Arnie’s version of the robot appears using a blend of a facial prosthetic from the original ‘83 movie and state of the art digital effects; “I’m very happy that the studios want me to be in “Terminator 5” and to star as the Terminator. We start shooting in January and I feel very proud of that. “ Although nothing plot wise has been mentioned, it seems highly likely that rather than concocting a storyline in which a robot ages 30 years, the Austrian oak will be de-aged considerably using sophisticated computer generated effects, a technique similar to those used in “X-men The Last Stand” to create younger versions of Sir Ian Mckellan and Patrick Stew-

art although I’m sure the results will have improved considerably, as they did look more like Madame Tussauds waxworks!! Schwarzenegger went on to confirm he’ll be reprising 2 more famous roles as Conan the Barbarian in “King Conan” and Julius Benedict in the extremely belated sequel to 80’s weird siblings comedy “Twins”. The sequel “Triplets” stars Arnie, Danny DeVito and Eddie Murphy as the titular trio!

Reader Feedback

Thanks to everyone who responded to the caption comp and for the suggestions on who should be the 12th doctor!!

Here are some of the best captions in the photo competition!! Thanks for joining in!! And Shabba, I’ll never erase from my mind what I saw googling “two girls one cup!!” • Stooie “Shabba” Greenhaigh -”This Video is ‘Two

Girls One Cup’...filmed by myself personally!!!!” • Steve Delsy -”That’s Bill with the cigar” • Shiel Campbell- “one touch of the button and Boom!!” • “This is of me and your wife” • Benn Barratt -”this is why they call me Justin Trousersnake!” • And another from me• “Yeah Britney sure loved those handcuffs!”

New Who?

Many people it seems think that the next Doctor should be a British Stand-up comedian.

Alan Carr (Nathan Swift), Russell Brand (Adrian Musgrave), Keith Lemon (Matthew Moore), Mickey Flanagan(Shabba) and Peter Kay (Deborah Wilford) were all suggested, Vanessa Hudson thought Corrie character Roy Cropper would be perfect. Other odd ones included Boris Johnston (Phil Crook) and Golfer Rory Macilroy (Salvatore Urgheghe). Our own columnist Steve Andrews has his own Facebook campaign to make him the Doctor- but my favourite has to be Carrie Louise Latham who suggested our very own Barry Sparkle to be the next Doctor Who with his smart Vivo togs as his Timelord outfit!!

On Friday morning, local police tweeted that a kangaroo had been on the loose, before admitting they had “jumped to the wrong conclusion” and it was actually a wallaby. A police spokesman said: “At around 11.45pm on June 13 we were called to a report of a Wallaby hopping along Old Green Lane in the Knowle area of Solihull. Police attended and located the owner who confirmed the animal had escaped from its pen.” Several wild colonies of wallabies exist around the UK. In the Peak District a population was established in around 1940, and in recent

years sightings have been made in the area, and on the Isle of Man there is a feral population of more than 100, originally bred from a pair that escaped from a nearby

Harley pope

HArLEY Davidson manufacturers celebrated their 110th anniversary by visiting the Vatican. Pope francis blessed scores of Harley-Davidson riders who visited to celebrate the occasion.

The noise of Harley engines nearly drowned out prayers that were recited as the Pope greeted crowds before Sunday mass at St Peter’s Square. Thousands of bikers in their trademark leather Harley vests stood alongside tens of thousands of Catholic worshippers. The Pope blessed the “numerous participants” of the two-day pro-life rally - the centrepiece of which was Francis’ Mass.

Sharples in Session By John Sharples

Here Comes On Summer A

Roll

When is a bun not a bun? When it´s a bap! The English language is certainly a rich one.

Yes indeedy! June 21st is the first day of summer and also the longest day and shortest night of the year. Let’s hope that it is a good one for everyone. I intend to get a good tan this year. It has been years since i worshipped the sun. Living in Tenerife all these years has made me a shade-hunter. Here are some facts that you may not know about the summer.

1. The first day of summer is known as the summer solstice. Solstice comes from two Latin words sol and sistere. Sol means sun; stitium is the verb which means to stand still 2. People in the Southern Hemisphere have their longest day of summer in

December. 3. The names of the summer months have Roman origins. June is named after Juno, who was the wife of Jupiter. Marc Antony named July after Julius Caesar and August was named after Caesar’s nephew, known as Augustus. 4. Even though this is the longest day of the year, it’s not the hottest, due to something called seasonal temperature lag, which means that it takes a while for the oceans to let their stored summer solstice heat back into the air. That’s why it tends to be hotter in July or August than in June. 5. One of the more annoying parts of summer are the mosquitoes, which have been around for 30 million years. It’s said they can find warm-blooded mammals from 100 feet away. 6. France’s Eiffel Tower can grow by more than 6

inches in summer due to the expansion of the iron on hot days. 7. The word honeymoon has associations with summer. The Pagans used that name for the first full moon in June because they drank fermented honey (mead) as part of summer wedding celebrations. 8. Iced lollies were invented by accident in 1905 by 11 year old Frank Epperson. He mixed soda and water and left the mixture out overnight with the stirring stick still in it. Since the temperature was low, the mixture froze. He patented the idea in 1924. 9. A juicy summer favourite ... Watermelon is not a fruit, but a vegetable. 10. In ancient times, most people swam in the nude; laws about decent swimming attire were created progressively from the 17th century onwards.

Hey Baby! Many people feel that the Royal Family is a waste of money. They are entitled to their opinions, but they bring an awful lot of money into the country´s coffers too. It is believed that the birth of the royal baby in July with cause the public to spend an extra 240 million pounds.

Items on sale will include a baby sleepsuit modeled on a guardsman’s outfit and Prince Charles is selling handmade baby shoes in a shop at Highgrove, while the Duchess of Cambridge’s parents are selling a range of baby items through their party goods business.

We have more than one word for many things and bread rolls are no exception. In Lancashire, a floury bead roll is called a barm cake. In Newcastle it is much bigger and it is called a stottie cake. My friend in Nottingham calls all types of bread rolls a cob, whereas a cob, as far as I am concerned, has a crispy outside and is more like a round French bread. In Yorkshire, the bread roll is known as a tea cake, but there are many people who

would say that a tea cake has dried fruit inside it. It is amazing how we manage to understand each other so easily. Anyway, cooks and chefs have their own idea what makes a bap or a bun, so here is a rundown, just to save any confusion, although my list isn´t exhaustive! • A Bap is a floury soft bread roll that usually comes in a set of four or six and has to be broken off. Also known as a batch. In Ireland it usually contains currants. • A Barm Cake is a larger flatter bread roll, usually floured. In Bolton it is called a flour cake. • A Stottie Cake is a large Barm cake, also known as an oven bottom, because they used to be made from the left over dough and baked on the bottom of the oven. In Merseyside, it´s called a bin lid! • A cob is a crusty breakfast roll or dinner roll. • A tea Cake is a fruity treat in the shape of a bun usually with spices • A bun is usually known as a sweet bread with Icing on top. • A finger roll is known as a Nudger in Liverpool. What a great name! Do you have a different name for your bread roll? If so, keep it to yourself! It is confusing enough as it is and everyone has their own opinion, depending upon where they come from.

Throw Away The Key Broadcaster and presenter Stuart hall OBE has been given a 15 month jail term for 14 sexual offences. What a disgrace. He should have been locked away for a darned site longer than that! Apparently, the sentence has to be what it would have been if he had been sentenced when he originally committed the crimes. Usual prison terms for graffiti can be from 2 months to 3 years! There is something sadly wrong with our system.

Police have left one rape accusation on their files and decided not to prosecute him for it. The world has gone completely bonkers. What about those poor women who have had to carry the burden of what he did to them for all these years.

What a shame that a man who was one loved and watched by over 200 million people worldwide abused his position of fame. What a waste of a life. What a horrible man!

Happy BirtHDay laWSuit

ooD Morning To You Production company is challenging the copyright to the song Happy Birthday To You arguing that it should be “dedicated to public use and in the public domain”, according to a lawsuit.

The company is working on a film tentatively titled Happy Birthday. It is seeking restitution of more than $5m (£3.2m) in licencing fees collected by Warner/ Chappell Music from thousands of people and groups who have paid to use the song. The music publishing arm of Warner Music Group claims exclusive copyright to Happy Birthday To You, which Guinness World Records calls the most famous song in the English language. Good Morning To You Productions filed the lawsuit after having to pay Warner/Chappell

$1,500 (£955) in licencing fees to avoid a $150,000 (£95,965) fine, after using the song in a film scene: “More than 120 years after the melody to which the simple lyrics of Happy Birthday To You is set was first published, defendant Warner/Chappell boldly, but wrongfully and unlawfully, insists that it owns the copyright to Happy Birthday To You,” the lawsuit claims. Good Morning To You Productions argues that evidence dating to 1893 shows the song’s copyright expired around 1921. The lawsuit says Warner/Chappell has laid false claim to the exclusive copyright to the song. The production firm argues the copyright applies only to a piano arrangement published in 1935 and not to the song’s melody or lyrics. Warner-Chappell, which represents artists ranging from Aretha Franklin to Rob Zombie and Madonna, have not responded to a request for comment.

Jennifer Nelson, with a 1924 songbook, “Harvest Hymns,” that includes the words “Happy Birthday to you” set to the music of “Good Morning to All,” a song written in the late 1800s.

Question one: What is a greenback to an American? Question Two: Which two cities are linked by the Grand Union Canal? Question Three: Fortina cheese comes from which country? Question four: In fencing how many hits must a male fencer score to

win?

Question five: Who created the cartoon character Betty Boop? Question Six: The name of which American city means ‘the fields’? Question Seven: In which year was the Mir space station launched? Question Eight: Which singer had a backing group called the Crickets? Question nine: Schipol Airport is near which capital city? Question Ten: What symbol is on the Canadian flag?

gardening and Nature By Steve Andrews - aka Green Bard

Eat The Weeds, Wild Beet

Don’t Spray Them! It may surprise you to learn that many of the weeds that grow in our gardens and on waste-ground in Tenerife are actually edible and many of them have health-giving properties. If you have a look on Google or in the videos on Youtube and search for “Edible weeds” you will find loads of information about the common plants we can eat. There are plenty of such species growing on Tenerife, though the best seasons for them are autumn and winter when the rains really bring the island to life. My advice is to eat the weeds instead of killing them with toxic herbicides! A common British weed that everyone will know is the Dandelion (Taraxa-

cum officinale). It can be found in lawns around the island growing just like it does in the UK, though it tends to be a lot smaller here. The grass around the roundabout in Icod de los Vinos is full of Dandelions and there is plenty of the plant growing in grass at the side of the road by the bus station in Puerto de la Cruz. Dandelion leaves, flowers and stems can be eaten in salads and the roots can be dried, roasted, ground up and used to make Dandelion Coffee which is sold in health shops because it is good for you and doesn’t contain any caffeine. Wild Beet or Wild Spinach (Beta procumbens) and related species are found all over the island, especially in coastal districts. The plant grows in masses that scramble over rocks and

ground and is very commonly seen. The flowers are tiny and greenish and it isn’t a very attractive plant to look at though some specimens have reddish stems which are a hint to its identity. The Wild Beet species are the ancestors of the cultivated varieties. Cooked as greens and served as a vegetable with a knob of butter on top they are as good, if not better, than spinach you can buy. What’s more you can collect Wild Beet for free or pull it out of your garden plot if it is growing as a weed! There are a number of species of Amaranth or Pigweed (Amaranthus)

that are often found all over the island and the leaves of these plants can be cooked as greens too. They are distant cousins of the Wild Beets and are in the family known to botanists as the Amaranthaceae. The greenish spikes of tiny flowers turn into blackish seeds which can be ground into flour. Goosefoot (Chenopodium album) is a common weed that has similar greenish flowers to the species just covered and is good cooked as greens.

Shepherd’s Purse

Shepherd’s Purse (Capsella bursapastoris) is a common weed in the UK but can also be found in Tenerife. It gets its name from its seed-pods that are shaped like hearts or tiny purses. It tastes like a spicy type of cabbage and is sold in markets in China.

Chickweed

Goosegrass

The Uses Of Amaranth Around The World Many species of Amaranthus have been used in various ways all over the world including as food, as the source of dyes and as ornamental plants for the garden. Amaranth protein-rich seeds are harvested in Asia and the Americas to be ground into flour. The seeds are termed a “pseudograin.” Amaranth seeds cook easily and are gluten free. The flour has been used mixed with wheat flour. In the Andes, where Amaranth was a staple food of

the Incas, it is known as Kiwicha. The leaves, roots and stems of species of Amaranthus have been used in traditional cooking and are highly valued in many places. In India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines there are many dishes that are made using the plant’s leaves. Amaranth

leaves are amongst the cooked greens known as “Saag.”Amaranthus roots are cooked with tomatoes and served with gravy made with tamarinds. The Hopi tribe in North America used a species of Amaranthus to prepare a strong red dye from the flowers. There is a modern red artificial colouring known as Amaranth. Love-lies-bleeding (A. caudatus) is a popular garden flower grown for its tassels of dropping red flowers from which it takes its name.

The Common Mallow (Malva sylvestris) is another plant that often grows as a weed. It has attractive mauve flowers and semi-palmate leaves that are very glutinous and can be eaten fresh, cooked as greens or added to soups. Chickweed (Stellaria media) is a delicious salad plant that contains vitamins A and C. It has tiny white starry flowers and delicate green leaves and stems that grow in masses on damp soil especially in the cooler times of the year. It can be eaten fresh or cooked with other wild greens. Goosegrass or Cleavers (Galium aperine) is a very common plant in Britain and often grows on hedge-banks. It has microscopic hooks all over it that help it stick to whatever it is climbing over. This is the plant that children love to throw at one another and see it stuck on the clothes of their playmates. Goosegrass is often found growing on Tenerife as well as in the UK. It can be eaten cooked along with other greens and the small rounded fruits can be dried, roasted and ground up to make another coffee substitute. So far I have been talking about common weeds that are edible and nutritious but there are some poisonous weeds too. The most frequently seen plant that falls into this category is the Thorn-Apple or Devil’s Weed (Datura stramonium). The plant gives off an unpleasant smell and has white funnelshaped flowers, jagged-edged leaves and curious green spiky seed-pods that have a passing resemblance to those of the Horse Chestnut Tree (Aesculus hippocastanum). Thorn-apple is a very poisonous plant that can cause hallucinations and all manner of dangerous conditions. It can kill so is a common weed that you definitely want to avoid and also one that you need to know how to identify so it doesn’t get mistaken for other edible species. It is better to be safe than sorry!

Thorn-apple

Also known as the Bard of Ely, the Green Bard has a Green Beard, as can be seen in the photo. He is an expert on nature and loves to write about wildlife and conservation. He has a very wide knowledge of edible plants, foraging and herbs.

He was quoted as a “Weed expert” in The Ecologist. The Green Bard, though originally from Cardiff in Wales, is currently based in Tenerife where he has successfully reared many Monarch butterflies on plants grown on his apartment balcony. In May, 2012, at the English Library in Puerto de la Cruz he gave a talk on the Flora and Fauna of Tenerife to a full house and has been invited back to be a guest speaker again.

SoME of Peru’s toughest prisoners were among 1,200 inmates who donned trainers and multicoloured gym outfits and showed off their Latin moves as they tried to break the world record for most inmates dancing simultaneously in prison.

The inmates moved to the beats of reggaeton - an urban form of music - and stylings of merengue - a style of Dominican music and dance - at the high-security Lurigancho prison in the capital Lima. With many of the prisoners behind bars for drug and alcohol-related crime, inmates say life in the overcrowded prison has changed

dramatically since aerobics was introduced: “There has been a radical change in the prison and this is because of the world of the colonel, the world of Alejandro Nunez del Arco, the work of all the guys who have been here,” said Miguel Angel Suarez. Inmates practice their aerobics routine daily and prisoner director Colonel Tomas Garay said they have been given a new lease of life as they set their sights on a world record: “The objective is to set a new Guinness Record and show the world that it’s possible to change: that although they have lost their freedom, they have not lost their right to life.” They are waiting to hear if they bettered the current mark for the record, which was set by a prison in the Philippines.

pugh´s pantry

By Barry Pugh

Beautiful, Ridiculous, Indulgent and Outrageous Here are possibly two of the most incredible high calorie desserts I could find for you. They are simple to make but dangerous for the waistline! They are without a doubt, completely and utterly insane. But I mean that in a good way. Of course….

Fudge Pie Ingredients: 1 large pastry case ready made 1 bag of chocolate chips 100g butter Pinch of salt 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 100g sugar 3 eggs (beaten) 1 small tin of evaporated milk 1 tablespoon good vanilla essence

Method: Melt chocolate chips and butter together in a large bowl in the microwave; add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour mixture into the prebaked crust and bake 30 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven. Top with whipped cream. Simply delicious!

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie n’ Oreo Fudge Brownie Bar Ingredients: 225g butter, softened 225g granulated sugar 170g light brown sugar 2 large eggs 1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract 375g all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 300g milk chocolate chips 1 pkt Oreos 1 Family Size Brownie mix 1 jar fudge topping

Method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the butter and both sugars in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3-5 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well to thoroughly combine. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt, then slowly incorporate into the mixer until the flour is just combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Spread the cookie dough in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish that’s been lined with greaseproof paper. Top with a layer of Oreos. Mix together the brownie mix. Pour the brownie mix over the cookie dough and Oreos. Cover with foil and bake at 170°C for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 15-25 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting — brownies may still be gooey in the middle when still warm, but will set perfectly once cooled.

motoring neWS

audi Q7 TArA my daughter has bought the new Audi Q7 so I decided to ask her what she thinks about it.

It is exactly the high-class execution of the big SUV you would expect from the brand, call that a flagship, asks Audi. This is a flagship. The German manufacturer’s mighty Q7 SUV has become such a mighty presence in the land that even the Range Rover seems petite. There was a time when Ingolstadt regarded the A6 Allroad as its top soft-roader, but when it decided enough was enough, and that size did indeed matter, it modified an age-old adage, which in Audi-speak now reads: Don’t

just join ‘em, beat ‘em. Of course, Audi has ‘credit’ where ability in slippery road conditions is concerned. This is still a brand associated with the early days of four-wheel drive, through its Quattro mod-

By lingy

els and their domination of world rallying. However, that lineage hardly matters when it comes to SUVs. What counts in this class is a combination of qualities: off-road ability, interior space, an elevated driving position and the abilioty to be used as a luxury saloon. And audaciously, the Q7 takes aim at the best models on the market. From every angle, the Q7 is nothing but dauntingly large. Its bonnet comes up to your chest. Overall, it stands as high as the average bloke. And at 5,088mm long and 2,170mm wide, it hangs over the edge of parking spaces like an overfed stomach over a belt. Even on 20in alloys, with a wheel/tyre combo around two and a half feet tall, the hoops still don’t look oversized. Tara says that this is the best car she has ever owned.

international engine of the year awards

THE International Engine of the Year 2013 is ford’s 999cc three-cylinder turbocharged unit.

This is, in fact, the second consecutive year that the panel of motoring journalists has awarded this engine its top prize. This time, Ford’s 125ps petrol unit – that can be found in the Fiesta, Focus, B-MAX, C-MAX and Grand C-MAX - has a record breaking final-round tally of 479 points. In contrast, the Volkswagen 1.4-litre TSI TwinCharger has 408 points which places it second - and the BMW 2-litre twin-turbo four-cylinder has 247 points in third. Ford’s tiny engine is the “Sub 1-Litre” category winner too with 557 points. Dean Slavnich, Co-Chair-

audi S4 Cabriolet

To keep this week’s news in the family I asked my other daughter Samantha what she thinks of her Audi S4.

Some people, I suspect, will find the new Audi S4 Cabriolet completely irresistible. No need to scratch around in the dust for reasons, the first is staring us in the face: it’s beautiful. Best-looking A4, best-looking cabrio in its class. End of argument. The M3 Cabriolet drivers clicking their knuckles in the corner might at least consider conceding the beauty contest with good grace. Second, the hood’s terrific – taut, low on wind noise at speed and wonderfully engineered. Maybe not the fastest one-button folder in town, but oh-so precise, elegant and quiet. Another excuse, in fact, for Audi to indulge its greatest skill – the intense expression of material and build quality. Three, the engine spec’s a jaw-dropper: 4.2 litres, eight cylinders, 40 valves, 339bhp

at 7000rpm, 302lb ft of torque at 3500rpm, all contained within a lump that’s remarkably compact and light (150kg) and looks rather magnificent when you lift the bonnet. And four, the quattro four-wheel drive and lightweight aluminium underpinnings deploy all that naturally aspirated big-cube ambition with unflappable

confidence wet or dry. No heroes required. Pretty much the S4 saloon’s portfolio, then, and Audi has left no area unexamined to ensure all that car’s Teflon-coated virtues are in place for the drop-top. Plus, you can enjoy the V8’s creamy burble bathing the open cabin with a stiff breeze coursing through your hair.

man of the International Engine of the Year Awards and Editor of Engine Technology International, said: “This is a truly remarkable engine and the fact that it secured first place in this category with such ease shows that our judges appreciate all the hard work that Ford’s powertrain engineers have put into this

project.” He added: “Baby EcoBoost – Ford’s firstever three-cylinder design – is still the engine to beat across the board. It’s economical in real-world conditions while the compact turbo helps ensure that the entire package can power with ease larger vehicles like the Grand C-MAX. Bravo Ford!”

the Voice UK - Grand final Editor recommends BBC 1 - 19:15 - 21:20

The acts have been trained, coached and mentored through the Blind Auditions, Battles and Knockouts – now only four remain. In tonight’s grand final, total power lies with the viewers as each of the four finalists will face the public vote in a bid to be crowned winner of The Voice UK 2013 and to win a lucrative recording contract. Each artist will perform a song of their choice and Jessie J, Sir Tom Jones, will.i.am and Danny O’Donoghue will also perform an exclusive duet with their finalist. After the act with the lowest

number of votes leaves the competition, the remaining three will perform again. Superstar coaches Sir Tom Jones, Jessie J, will.i.am and Danny O’Donoghue will perform a special one-off group number while viewers will also be treated to not one, but two guest performances, including one from Canadian megastar Michael Bublé, and an extra special performance from one of the biggest name in the music industry. At the end of the show, Holly Willoughby and Reggie Yates will reveal the results of the public vote and announce the winner of The Voice UK 2013.

the Police’s Dirty secret Editor recommends Channel 4 - 20:00 - 21:00

Dispatches exposes the shocking story of Britain’s secret police and how undercover officers reportedly used sex and lies to spy on members of the public.

For the first time Dispatches reveals the names of high-profile targets spied on by the police. The revelations are likely to be explosive and may cause deep embarrassment. Through the personal testimony of a whistleblower who operated deep undercover for four years, the film examines the ethically dubious tactics of a

clandestine unit within the Metropolitan police. Tasked with infiltrating political campaigns and protest groups, it operated under the unofficial motto ‘By any means necessary’. The programme speaks exclusively to the women who say their lives have been wrecked after being spied upon; and who reveal how they were duped into sexual relationships with men they didn’t even know were cops. One of the women reveals the heart-wrenching story of how she was also deceived into having a child with a police spy.

Why Am I still single?: first Cut Channel 4 - 22:35 - 23:35 one single man and one single woman turn detective on each other’s love lives in an attempt to answer the question: why am I still single?

By uncovering the behavioural patterns and emotional make-up of a total stranger, they each get a fresh perspective and insight into the reasons behind their own dating disasters and wrong turns when it comes to finding love. The two strangers meet each other’s friends, families and ex-partners, are given access to social networking accounts, and even sleep in each other’s beds. Naomi and Lex are both in their 30s and every-

one around them seems to be getting married or having children. They both thought they would at least be settled in long-term relationships by now but, like most singletons in the UK, find looking for love more difficult than it seems. Directed by Juliet Riddell, this brand new First Cut documentary, which is part of Channel 4’s Mating Season, reveals the consequences of a stranger digging around in your past. Can someone you have never met before see things about you that you can’t see about yourself? And can two strangers help each other to find love and happiness?

eXpreSS Bar DeliVerieS Cup

the Cup-winners Hoops!!!!!!! Hoops Bar 8 v the trap Door 2

An early 2 frame lead for Hoops taken by John and Captain Chris, both finishing well but Chris scoring a brilliant 7 baller over Dave, who could only watch in admiration. Marcus for Trap Door stepped right up to the plate and faced with a very difficult situation of blocked pockets battled on and finally won over with a slow long yellow along the cushion and left himself with perfect position on the black. Trap Door Mickey won out also by laying a snooker then clearing his final three reds and black without any fuss to level the score. Into the doubles, Trap Door Jamie and Marcus looking favourites after blocking three pockets. Seven reds to pot and Hoops Chris W saw a slight gap, pushed his red home, cushion first off a blocking yellow, then repeated

the exercise at the other end of the table to open up the pockets. John cleared up for Hoops on their next visit. The second double saw Micky attempting a clearance but leaving themselves with

two colours, Hoops pair then laying a number of snookers until one succeeded and allowed Carl to clear up, Hoops again leading by two frames. Marcus started the second half with the unenviable task of reviving the score from 4-2 down, and looked certain to score when faced with a relatively easy cut on a yellow not more than an inch away from the corner pocket, leaving a remaining yellow and black all well placed. Unfortunately, he missed completely and gifted Hoops a foul and so a 5-2 lead. The match and fight all but over with three frames to go, Hoops looking every inch the champions, hardly making a single error, and finally ending The Trap Door 35 match unbeaten run, an indication of the standards set in this league.

Dos Hermanos 7 v Grandee O´Donnells 3

Hermanos, off to a flying start by means of Kevin, who was having trouble adjusting to the superfast table, but nevertheless finished off a “safe” black. Rick for the Dos Hermanos team also finished well, his black needing a cut which saw the white rattle the jaws and bounce out. Two up then to the Hermanas, who were then on a roll and took the next two singles to put the score at 4-0. Doubles time and drastic measures called for Grandees Gary to call the shots… Literally... A round of Sambucas appeared and immediately their fortunes recovered. Andydog made a good clearance of the colours, but left the black in the jaws for his partner Dave to tap home. The second double saw more shots, and again Grandees won out with their “renewed energy”. The 7th frame saw a very cagey game, Kevin again from Dos Hermanos taking the frame to make it 5-2 and an uphill task for Grandees to score anything. A valiant effort by Grandees Dave saw him reach a finish, but left himself a cutback to the corner which he declined, favouring a forceful double to the centre. In addition to missing the pot, his opponents yellow was knocked home, the resulting foul allowed Dos Hermanos Neil to take full advantage and finish. By this time Grandees were in party mode despite the match results, and appeared to be having a thoroughly good time and enjoying the party atmosphere.

1 english Golfer for 43 years Wins uS open st

Justin rose has created history by becoming the first English golfer to win the uS open in 43 years; the last Englishman was Tony Jacklin in 1970.

Thousands of people have taken to social media to congratulate the 32-year-old father of two, who was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, but immigrated to England as a child.. Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: “Congratulations to @JustinRose99 in winning the #usopen. The first English winner since Tony Jacklin in 1970.” Also leading the praise was the last English winner of a major, Sir Nick Faldo, who triumphed at the US Masters in 1996. Referring to the many competitions which have since passed without being claimed by an English golfer, he tweeted: “68 Majors and moons and moons since...since! #Englishgolfers. Congratulations @JustinRose99 Good/great golfing today!” Former footballer and TV presenter Gary Lineker tipped Rose to win another award: “Wow @JustinRose99 has won the US Open. Thrilled for him! Sports personality of the year?” After tapping the ball into the final hole of the tournament, Rose raised his fingers to the sky in recognition of his father Ken, who died from leukaemia in 2002 and had a huge influence on his career: “What a day, I don’t know what to say, I’m thrilled,” Rose said, following the four-day tournament at Merion Golf Club in Pennsylvania. It wasn’t lost on me that today is Father’s Day. I think a lot of us came from great men and we have the responsibility to them to show them what great men can be. For it all to work out for me on such

an emotional day, I couldn’t help but look up to the heavens and think my old dad Ken had something to do with it.” Former deputy prime minister John Prescott tweeted: “Now THAT’s how you celebrate Father’s Day.

Continued From Back Page In the Championship, four of The League’s founder members will go head-tohead with Derby County, League champions in 1972 and 1975 hosting Blackburn Rovers, champions of England in 1912, 1914 and 1995.

Lancashire rivals Burnley and Bolton Wanderers will face each other at Turf Moor, one of only three grounds used in the 1888/89 season that is still in use today. The two clubs have met each other on 114 occasions since league football began. Another of the original grounds, Deepdale, will host the meeting of founder members Preston North End and Wolverhampton Wanderers in League 1. Since hosting its first league match on the opening day of the 1888/89 season, Deepdale has staged 2,342 Football League matches, more than any other sta-

dium. Also in League 1, the world’s oldest Football League club, Notts County will be the visitors at the world’s oldest professional football ground - Bramall Lane, home of Sheffield United. In League 2, Accrington Stanley will visit The Football League’s newest ground and newest member - Rodney Parade the home of the re-formed Newport County. While Hartlepool United will meet Rochdale in the 137th encounter between the two clubs, the most played Football League match between current League members. Football League Chairman Greg Clarke said: “For 125 years, Football League clubs have delivered the greatest show in town, week after week. In the process, attracting a total audience of more than 2.2 billion people and building indelible relationships with their local communities. Our clubs and their supporters are the heartbeat of the domestic game, giving English league foot-

ball a breadth and popularity that is unrivalled anywhere in the world. We look forward to celebrating 125 years of incredible matches, unforgettable moments and gloves-off

Torres No To Barcelona

Fernando Torres has killed off speculation linking him with Barcelona by insisting he is looking forward to hearing Jose Mourinho’s plans for him.

French international footballers Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema have gone on trial charged with paying for sex with an underage prostitute. Bayern Munich winger Ribery and Real Madrid forward Benzema face up to three years in prison and a maximum 45,000 Euros (£38,500) fine if convicted.

Both deny the charge and the young woman involved - Zahia Dehar - has testified that the players did not know she was under 18 when they allegedly had sex with her in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Although the age of consent is 15 in France, paying for sex with anyone under 18 is a crime. Ms Dehar, now 21, has become a celebrity on the back of the scandal, launching her own luxury lingerie line, and has been seen as the muse of German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. The 30-year-old Ribery did not turn up at the court in Paris as there was “no victim,” his lawyer said, seeking for the proceedings to be held behind closed doors due to their “sala-

cious” nature. While he has admitted having sex with Ms Dehar, he insists he did not know she was then under-age, Benzema has denied any such encounter. Prosecutors had sought an acquittal for the two players and Ribery’s brother-in-law, who was also implicated, but investigating judge, Andre Dando, argued that they must have been aware of her real age. News of the investigation broke just before the disastrous 2010 World Cup campaign, during which infighting within the French squad resulted in a player boycott, striker Nicolas Anelka being sent home and one of the favourites being eliminated at the group stage. The badly tarnished image of ‘Les Bleus’ has yet to fully recover from what has become known as the Knysna fiasco after the name of the squad’s South African base. Ribery, said to be one of the ringleaders of the rebellion against coach Raymond Domenech, was given a three-match ban after the tournament but has since returned to the fold. The trial is expected to continue until June 26.

Speculation surrounding Torres persists as Chelsea’s interest in a new striker seemingly leading many people to presume that the Spaniard will not be in Mourinho’s plans. Mourinho has even admitted in recent days that Torres’s form for Chelsea had been ‘so-so’ but the striker is ready for talks. “I look forward to talk-

ing with Mourinho and to know what plans he has for me,” Torres, who is with the Spain squad at the Confederations Cup said. “The first thing I am aware of is he will expect much more from me, I expect more from me. Now I have pressure Mourinho adds and that’s a challenge for a player.” Asked about his links with Barcelona, he insisted there

was nothing in it, despite his own personal relationship with their president: “I have known Sandro Rosell for a long time, there is a personal relationship, but nothing more than that. My head is now in the Confederations Cup, immediately after that Chelsea. I want to talk with Mourinho and then prepare for the coming season.”

aridane Shows His Worth as ref Shows He’s Clueless

Alberto TWo yellow cards mean a sending off, it’s such a basic rule of football but referee ramon Arias Madrid didn’t see it that way in CD Tenerife’s 2-1 home win over Alaves. Juanma for the visitors should have walked in the 41st minute, all the players knew it and the 10,142 crowd knew it but the ref needed a sharp reminder in the break before doing his duty.

Aridane Goal

The second leg of the Segunda B group winner’s championship had started like a dream for CD Tenerife, 2-0 up in 20 minutes to match the away leg defeat. The ref soured the party mood not only with his epic error but also a soft penalty for Alaves and a gullible acceptance of all the theatrical falls and injury feigning from the Basque Country team. The game may evoke other memories, striker Aridane added two more well taken goals to make it 27 for the promotion season but it may have been his parting gift as

Sergio rodriguez he is being linked with a move to Primera side Osasuna with several other clubs keen after his prolific season. It was easy to forget this was a meaningless end of season competition as Tenerife were fired up from the kick off. Cristo Martin broke through in the first minute and set up Aridane who caught the post with his header, Guillem was bearing down on the goalie a minute later but Urtzi snatched the ball away from him. Such an onslaught had to bring a goal, Guillem made the defence jittery and al-

though he got floored for his trouble the ball broke loose and Aridane pounced on it and fired a 6 minute lead. There was better to come after 22 minutes, Loro took a corner from the left and his ball found Aridane lurking on the edge of the box and with a strong flick of the head he left the keeper floundering. Alaves struggled to resist the tide so resorted to hitting the floor whenever a Tenerife player came close; they made more rolls than Greigs. The ref was weak but added stupid to that after 37 minutes when he awarded a phantom penalty against Sergio Rodriguez for a foul on Juanma, it was clear to all that there was no contact. Viquiera converted the spot kick and that away goal effectively gave the trophy to Alaves. This ref followed this up with his second booking let off for Juanma, that ensured he had jeers ringing in his ears as everyone went off for half time.When the visitors re-emerged with ten men it should have been the signal for Tenerife to swamp them but too many times the players tried to walk the ball in rather than blast it. Even a second Alaves departure, this time Manu Garcia, with 30 minutes left couldn’t unlock the flood gates. A triple substitution added Ayoze, Carlos, and Medina to the mix, Carlos showed some genuine pace on the right and

Guillem Marti Ayoze got into some good positions but he looks a little lightweight at times, maybe a summer of ice cream and cakes will help him to fulfill his potential. Urtzi bailed Alaves out with several classy saves but the game fizzled out with Alaves adding the trophy to

their own promotion. Even the farewells from the Tenerife players didn’t quite go to plan, a few young pitch invaders resulted in the lap of honour being cancelled. Just small niggles at the end of a season that has lived up to all promises.

www.tenerife-weekly.com Promotion dreams were crushed for Atletico Granadilla as their 1-0 home advantage was nowhere near enough to see them through to the last hurdles of their Tercera Division play off. Universidad Oviedo romped to a 4-1 home win in a game that hinged on a penalty that wasn’t given to the Tenerife side. Goalie Marino recovered from his hamstring injury that saw him carried off in the home leg and he resumed his place between the sticks. For the first third of the game Granadilla held firm but on 32 minutes Alvaro kick started the Oviedo fight back. They piled on the pressure and Llerandi was inches away from doubling the lead as his shot flashed past the post. Just into the second half Otero struck a fierce volley to edge the home side ahead but the real body blow was a strong shout from Granadilla for a hand ball penalty ten minutes later, the ref wasn’t convinced. It was still all to play for, an away goal would have given Granadilla the upper hand but Oviedo finished strongly, Captain Ivan Martin, the hero in thee home leg, gave away a penalty that Otero converted and Jonay followed up a few minutes later to kill the dream. Juanmi managed to pull one back before the final whistle but it was little consolation.
