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 Terry McCann (Dennis Waterman) drive in the first 7 series of the TV show Minder? The answer is a White Ford Capri 1977 2.0 S MK II. Congratulations go to Lou Oakenfold who was the lucky winner. We look forward to seeing her with her family at the Sunday Carvery at Vivo, where

n June I mentioned that La Gomera could be the chosen location for Ron Howard’s new film. It seems, according to a report in La Opinion we now have

confirmation that this has been given the green light. U.S. filmmaker Ron Howard, director of A Beautiful Mind, which won the Oscar for Best Director in 2001, visited the Canary Islands for five days

MISSING

The family of Andres Mora Toledo, a 21 year-old, who disappeared 18 months ago in Valencia, believe he may have made his way to Tenerife and are appealing for information.

The family has not ruled out that up until March of this year he could have been sharing a house on a commune on the Island, a fact of which the national police is not aware. His parents say that before his disappearance he was meeting up with new friends,

looking for locations for his next film, In the Heart of the Sea. As his Twitter followers have seen, the director and producer has made a tour of several islands to decide the places that will host the filming of his version of the novel. Through the photographs that the filmmaker has posted on his social network profile, the journey began on August 1 in La Gomera, where Howard was able to enjoy a delicious paella. The next day he went to Lanzarote with part of his crew where, besides visiting some of the places that presumably form part of the film, he took the opportunity to do some sightseeing. He

became anti-establishment and fear he may have been lured into a cult. At the time of his disappearance, on February 2, 2012, Andres was studying computer science at University. Anyone with any information should contact the police.

then came by boat to Tenerife. A photograph of a small boat in the port of Los Cristianos with a text that can be translated as “Docked near a boat that reminds us that we are preparing the film – In the Heart of the Sea” shows that the director is immersed in pre-production of the film. On Tuesday, Howard left the Archipelago together with the small crew that accompanied him in recent days. A few weeks ago it was revealed that Howard had chosen La Gomera as the main location of his new film, but several visits to Lanzarote imply that the director may roll their particular “Moby Dick” throughout the Canary Islands. The film will star Tom

they will also be treated to a round of mini golf each. This week’s competition question is on Motoring News page 39. Good Luck

Holland, actor of The Impossible, and Chris Hemsworth, who portrayed Thor.

As if that isn’t fame enough Ridley Scott to film in Canary Islands? Film director and producer Ridley Scott, whose extensive work includes films like ‘Alien’, “Blade Runner”, “Gladiator”, “Hannibal”, “Robin Hood” and “Thelma And Louise” came to in the Canary Islands recently with several members of his crew to scout for film locations that could be used in his future projects. The Oscar winning director remained tight-lipped about his plans, but revealed that he is looking for wild landscapes with tall mountains and deserts in their natural state for a ”great movie”, and that he found several suitable locations. There are rumours that Scott’s new project will be “Exodus”, the biblical story of Moses leading his people through the wilderness. If this project would indeed be filmed here in the Canary Islands, it would make it the second such large-scale film production together with ‘In The Heart Of The Sea’.

NEwS ON THE ROCK

Spanish authorities seized 500 kilos of cocaine from a yacht off the Canary Islands, in an operation that smashed a ring that smuggled drugs from Latin America to the archipelago. Five people were arrested, two Spaniards, an Irish national, an American and an Australian woman in the probe. A statement from the interior ministry said: “The ring shipped large amounts of drugs from South America to Cape Verde, where it was stored. Later, after taking all kinds of security measures, the drugs were sent in smaller amounts to the Canary Islands, its final destination.” A Spanish customs ship intercepted the yacht on July 17 in international waters in the Atlantic Ocean near the Spanish archipelago and customs agents and police found 500 packages containing about one kilo each of cocaine on-board. Police also seized several weapons, including two submachine guns, as well as jewellery and gold worth around 135,000 euros, and 40,000 euros in cash in five searches carried out as part of their investigation. The authorities also confiscated two high end vehicles, two sailboats and a schooner as well as satellite telecommunications equipment that was used by the ring. Police have not ruled out more arrests in the on-going investigation. An 82-year-old woman is seriously ill in hospital after being burnt when a gas bottle exploded inside her home in San Isidro. The house wall was also damaged in the explosion, requiring bomberos to secure the area. Paramedics gave the woman preliminary assistance at the scene but due to the severity of her injuries she was then transferred to Hospitén Sur with serious second degree burns to her face and arms. A few weeks ago we reported that The Canarian Government was 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, even confirmed it. After the announcement in June that the money was there, the road is now paralysed again, and will remain so until at least the end of September by which time the Government should have approved an amended budget. The works are 20m Euros short of funds to finish the Adeje-Santiago del Teide section, the biggest problem of which is bridging the barranco de Erques. Works on the Adeje-Chio section are now expected to resume in October and to take around 20 months to complete, Tenerife’s directora de Carreteras, Ofelia Majón-Cabeza. The Chio-Santiago section seems to be completely up in the air. A meeting in Icod de los Vinos between the Consejo Insular de Aguas, the Dirección General de Salud Pública del Gobierno de Canarias, and the northern ayuntamientos regarding the current problems with the quality of water in the north of the Island ended with them saying that there’s no solution in the world to the problem. The best they can come up with, it seems, is an agreement to “improve coordination” between the water and health authorities and the government. There are various sticking-plaster solutions being considered, such as increasing water from the Vergara galeria and reducing that from Hoya del Cedro, but for the moment, the 13 municipalities in north Tenerife affected by excess fluoride in their tap water remain on restriction. Those municipalities affected are Icod, La Guancha, San Juan de la Rambla, La Matanza, Buenavista, El Tanque, Garachico, Los Silos, El Sauzal, La Victoria, Santa Úrsula, Tacoronte, and La Laguna.

guachinches – new Laws approved

By http://newsinthesun.com THE Canarian Government have approved a Decree to regulate the marketing and sale of home-grown wine in Tenerife at “Guachinches”.

These are typical wine-tasting stands or establishments set up by wine producers and are normally located at, or near, the bodegas where the wine is made, often in the home of the owner. The home-produced wine was traditionally marketed in this way as a means to dispose of annual surpluses, but in recent years the absence of any specific regulations for this activity has led to the proliferation of non-traditional, un-licenced establishments. These opportunists, who often have nothing to do with wine production at all, offer an extensive menu of food and beverages and compete unfairly with properly licenced restaurants and café bars. Existing authentic Guachinches will have a period of three months to adapt to the standards required in the new law.

The Decree sets out the following regulations:

• The wineries must be small, the premises where the activity takes place must be part of the dwelling of the owner or storage or other farm buildings and they can only sell the wine for a maximum of four months per year. • The activity must cease when a particular wine runs out and the establishment will have to report annually to the Government on their opening and closure dates. • The wine being sold must come from vineyards owned or operated by the same person who is operating the

Guachinche business and the winery must be registered in the Agricultural Industry and Wine Bottlers registries. • They will have to prove the provenance of the wine using statements of harvest and production which will have to be submitted in accordance with European standards. • Up to only three types of snacks can be offered to accompany the tasting, such as pickles, nuts and fruit and these must also have been grown by the producer or have been produced in the area. Apart from the wine the

only other drink that may be offered at these facilities is water. • Staff serving in these establishments must have received health and safety training for food handlers as established for catering industry workers. • The facilities must have adequate lighting and ventilation and have at least running water, a sink and toilet, which must be in perfect working order and standard of cleanliness, consumer complaints forms and an inspection book must be available and visible to customers.

Witchcraft In Spain And The Canary Islands

By Marc Craig

A person who wants to become a witch should “go to the seashore, undress completely and roll around on the sand.” I wonder how many randy tourists have accidentally become witches?! Spanish witches are said to be more sociable than the traditional solitary old hags of England, often meeting in covens-as I’ve mentioned before, the village of San Andres had a nearby coven at El Bailedero here in Tenerife, who were believed to hunt solitary men for sacrifice at huge bonfires-they also gave Nelson’s men quite a fright in 1797 when invading troops apparently sensed the witches flying above the treetops of the Anaga forest.

Canarian witches today

The Spanish Inquisition and witch-hunts

itchcra f t , witchery or spellcraft is defined in Wikipedia as the use of magical faculties for religious, divinatory or medicinal purposes.

For hundreds of years witches have been feared and persecuted especially in Christian circles, although the use of magic is recognised globally throughout most cultures, this week I’m going to explore witchcraft in Spanish and Canarian culture and give a brief history of the practice of magic.

History

Belief in Witchcraft is ancient and can be found in the Bible, classical literature and folklore- pretty much since the written word began. Although historically the term was used to describe an act of evil, the term “witch” comes from ancient pagan rituals and the practice of Wicca - often referred to as white witches. This old religion represented a direct challenge to the Christian church and it’s one true God, and the concept of devil worship within the Christian religion gave the church a reason to persecute these “heretics”. Although in its original form (Wicca) the word witch was a unisex term-most “evil” witches were

women, something once again a product of the church-subservience of women to men was common in early Christianity (some might say it still is) in fact, although today in Catholicism, Mary is worshipped primarily, the early church saw devotion to Mary as overemphasising the feminine aspect of Christianity (it’s interesting that Pagan and Wiccan believers embraced female figures of worship), in fact during the Inquisition here in the Canary Islands, a woman Aldonca de Vargas was reported for doing nothing more than smiling at the mention of the Virgin Mary!!

As far back as the 1200’s, Pope Gregory IX authorised the killing of witches. The practice never really caught on until the 1400’s, during the Spanish Inquisition, which shifted its focus from Jews and hereticsespecially after Pope Innocent VIII declared that it was heresy to not believe in witches-quite a turnaround considering the Canon Episcopi (church law from 906) declared that the opposite-belief in witches was heresy!! Thousands of suspected witches throughout Spain were tortured and killed, they were forced to admit that they “flew through the sky, had sexual relations with demons, turned into animals and engaged in various sorts of black magic”. A famous example of the persecution of so called witches in Spain are the Basque witch trials during the 17th century, in which the Spanish Inquisition examined over 7000 cases in the city of Logroño in Northern Spain. Pardons were offered to those who voluntarily reported themselves and denounced other witches leading to confessions of almost 2000 - mostly children between 7 and 14 years old-these confessors

Known in Eastern Catalan as brujas and bruijes in Western Catalan, a witch is a woman who has “made a pact with the Devil, acquiring supernatural power to be used for her own benefit or evil purposes”. Witches could be identified by the “mark of the devil” on their buttocks-either crossed horns, a toad, a ram or simply a circle. Unique Catalan beliefs also state that witches can have 2 pupils in the left eye and deer horns in the right-powerful witches may also have a hairy heartshaped mark on their left side. Old women who were losing their hearing were often suspected due to her “deafness to God”.

Santiguadora is the name of a group of Canarian witches practicing today. Featured in the book by Domingo García Barbuzano, “Practice and Belief of a Canarian Witch” , it documents the “orally transmitted” healing knowledge and practises of Mrs Eloina Expósito Mendoza (18871990) or Lugina as she was known. Canarian witches are both male and female and have definite divided roles (with exceptions), with males working primarily on broken or dislocated bones and banishing evil spirits. Other powers include being able to “cut the sun” (or heal sunstroke) as well as healing digestion and skin problems- sometimes with the use of herbs. I was intrigued to learn that these islands have their very own unique type of witch and I aim to learn more about the Santiguadoras for a future issue.

The last weeks I am confronted by the republic of China. I have read books about the real life a.o. by JUNG CHANG:´Wild Swans´, about the life of 3 generations. Right now I am reading ´To the edge of the Sky´ by ANHUA GAO. And like your article, it is heart-breaking to read how many still live in poverty unknown to us. You can GOOGLE the ladies. And I received yesterday 2 dvd’s from a friend who just visited China; I am curious to see what she experienced. Is there a pdf file from your article? I like to send her the facts about China, especially about the connection China – Africa - Islas Canarias. She will be in-

terested. And I can print it and put it in the book from GAO for other people to read. Thank you! ¡Saludos desde Callao Salvaje! Teresa Hollander Hola Teresa! Thank for your email and your interest in my article “the Chinese way” - I completely agree, the poverty situation is heartbreaking. I’ve spoken to my editor and she has told me we can send you a PDF no problem- I hope your friend finds it interesting! Once again thank-you for your response! Yours sincerely Marc

implicated 5000 more. Most of the young confessors/ accusers retracted their statements later, saying they were tortured. It is unknown how many were tortured and burned to death but in 1614,it was ruled that the pending trials be dismissed and new, more rigorous rules of evidence be examined to put an end to the witchburning in Spain.

Shark Washes up on playa del duque

By Janet Anscombe ATHERS had quite a shock last friday morning when a 3m white shark was washed up on the Playa del Duque: the above photo has been confirmed as genuine even though it was thought at first to be a hoax because the shark had been put on a sunbed. The animal was dead when it washed up, and the servicio de Fauna (Medio Ambiente) del Cabildo de Tenerife is carrying out tests to determine the cause of its death. Experts say that although sharks are found in Canarian waters they usually don’t come within 300 m or so of the coast. Nonetheless, it is only a few weeks since another appeared in Puerto de la Cruz, and one was found a year ago in the fish farms between Palm Mar and Los

Photo uploaded to facebook by Tony Anselmo Cristianos, and another in the Arico area. It seems that in many cases they are attracted by the fish farms, or the discharge from fishing boats, but Adeje residents say that it is increasingly common to see them near bathing areas. There are thankfully no reports, however, of any encounters between bathers and sharks.

am not generally known as someone to shy away from expressing my opinion, however having read quite a lot about drilling for oil in the Canary Islands I really don’t know whether this is a good or bad thing. Part of me recognises that if there is as much as they think this would be good for not just the Spanish economy, but also for the islands that desperately need the money not to mention the knock on effect of the amount of jobs that would be created. However all of my life I have been protesting, whether it was saving Canadian seals, Japanese, Norwegian or Icelandic whaling or banning the testing of unnecessary products on animals. Logic says that if someone is banging away with a drill it is going to have a detrimental effect on our marine life and then there is the niggle of BP and the Deepwater Horizon disaster. So I am being torn between heart and head. While the question may sound simple, for me it is devilishly hard to answer. However I do feel everyone who has made up their mind should have a chance to have their say. So I am including a link to a petition from Willie’s La Gomera Blogspot, http:// savecanarias.org which you may like to sign. There are several petitions circulating against oil prospecting/drilling by energy giants Repsol (Spain), RWE (Germany) and Woodside (Australia) in the Canary Islands. This new

Drilling In the Canaries – Sitting On The Fence

petition is supported by about 30 organisations including WWF and Greenpeace. First I’ll give some information on the situation (as described by The Guardian some time ago): “…Plans approved by the Spanish government this month to start prospecting for oil off the Canary Islands have triggered protests nationwide. Despite large-scale opposition and the danger drilling presents to whales and other marine life that migrate through this part of the Atlantic, Madrid gave the go-ahead to the Spanish company Repsol to start exploration at nine locations, at depths between 1,500 and 3,000 metres, less than 60km off Lanzarote and Fuerteventura in the Canaries…” “…Estimates suggest substantial reserves in the area, sufficient to produce 100,000 barrels of crude a day, equivalent to one-tenth of national demand. Repsol has announced possible investments worth $13bn and 5,000 new jobs in a region where a third of the workforce is unemployed, but local organisations, environmental groups, fisheries and the tourism industry see things differently. Under the slogan “No to oil, yes to renewables”, they organised a two-day scientific meeting to discuss plans for drill-

ing last week, and planned a major demonstration. The Canaries regional government announced that it will begin legal proceedings. “We are totally against this,” said Vicepresident José Miguel Pérez, adding

Perseid Meteor Shower

By John Sharples The Perseid meteor shower is perhaps the most admired meteor shower of the year for the Northern Hemisphere.

The shower builds gradually to a peak, often produces 50 to 100 meteors per hour in a dark sky at its peak, and, comes when the weather is warm. The Perseids tend to strengthen in number late at night, and typically produce the most meteors in the small hours before dawn. They radiate from a point in the constellation known as Perseus the Hero, but, as with all meteor shower radiant points, you don’t need to know where Perseus is to watch the shower; instead, the meteors appear all over the sky. They are typically fast and bright meteors and frequently leave persistent trains. Every year, you can look for the Perseids around Au-

that ‘the future of the Canaries is in renewable energies and combating global warming’. One of the Canary Islands, El Hierro, claims to be the first “100% renewable” island. It is self-sufficient in terms of energy,

thanks to a wind farm. Councillors on Lanzarote and Fuerteventura point out that economic development, centred on tourism, is not compatible with oil drilling. The same is true of fishing…”

New Tax Office Opens

The new tax office for Los Cristianos is now based in edificio Charo, 8 calle Los Sabandeños and will open every working day from 9:00am to 2:00pm, except during the months of July, August and September when the hours will be from 9:00am to 1:00pm to provide help and information to people about their tax obligations.

gust 10-13. They combine with the Delta Aquarid shower to produce the year’s most dazzling display of shooting stars. In 2013, the Perseid meteors will streak across the short summer nights during the nights of August 10th to 13th – from late night until dawn, with little or no interference from the waxing

crescent moon. The moon will be near the planet Saturn in the evening hours, giving a colourful prelude to the latenight Perseid show. The best mornings will be on the 11th, 12th and 13th. Get yourselves up to Mount Teide for a spectacular show, but wrap up warm, it gets very cold at night up there!

The Mayor of the municipality of Arona, Francisco José Niño, and the Councillor for sports, were delighted to welcome recent boxing champions from Spain Alejandro Torres Chinea and Adasat Rodriguez Rojas this week who paid a visit with their trophies to the Mayor’s office.

www.tenerife-weekly.com What a satisfying sound the bursting of a balloon makes, especially when you have just fired an arrow at it as it bobs around on a target 18 metres away. This was one of the range of challenges from Robin Hood Adeje at an old rural farm up above Fanabe.

When the fair came to town the goldfish prizes would scramble for cover when I tried my hand on the darts stalls so archery didn’t come naturally to me but hosts Cleo and Helmut were very patient and encouraging and even though I was being outscored by my five opponents I was enjoying the challenge and was soon doing a decent imitation of Sherwood Forest’s finest. Our group was of mixed age and experience, Robin Hood offers fun and coaching to anyone. Our senior shooter Bob had a mixed background of pistol and rifle firing and had become a regular visitor in the last few weeks, George was a novice, while Joseph, aged 12, had fired a few arrows back in Rotherham but Malcolm and Hayden were just beginning. Helmut gave us a clear run down off safety rules before moving onto technique, all good advice from the former archery champion of the Canary Islands and President of the Tenerife South club. Our first aim was uncluttered circular targets at distances of 9, 13 and 18 metres, the lightweight bows are easy to handle but the arrows really pound into the target and sink deep into the hard foam backing be-

Bobs experience showed and Joseph, Malcolm, and Hayden quickly showed a natural flair for the sport. To keep archers fresh and alert Robin Hood add lots of variations,

we had some two dimensional bird cut outs on hay bales for a change of target and also split into teams to play fox and hounds with one shooter setting a score for the others to chase.

Friday with A.S.C.O, Scrotex, Disomnia, and Hot Vulcan Stompers and many others. Saturday brings Thrashtorno, Vivid Remorse, and Neomaniac stirring up the mosh pit. I’ve popped in the last three years and it’s always a great atmosphere, loud, proud, but very friendly. There’s plenty of beer stalls, displays of motorbikes, and this year even a paint ball zone. The music starts from noon each day and despite the near 30 degree temperatures there will be plenty of denim and leather as the rockers and rock chicks let their hair down. There’s always a raffle with

learned skills in a pleasant and safe setting. There are plenty more targets, balloons, and not so wild animals waiting to see if you can do any better. Normal adult charges are 29 euros but there are resident and child discounts and group bookings can be arranged. Go to www.robinhood.es or call 608 972 015.

appropriate prizes ranging from a guitar to a tattoo and a good selection of bands CDs. Forget the inflated prices of the UK festivals, Goymar Fest is just 4 euros, you

can pay each day or 6 euros for both, there’s a camping area and that combined with a two day pass is still only 11 euros. Crank up those amps and let’s get rocking.

Güímar Ayuntamiento has inaugurated Tenerife’s first beach for dogs, the 200m playa del Puertito to the side of the Club Náutico Puertito de Güímar. It is only the second such beach in the Canaries, the first being allowed in Gran Canaria in May.

Alcaldesa de Güímar Carmen Luisa Castro Dorta said she was very satisfied with the new initiative, the result of requests by María Cabrera López, administrator of the Facebook 7 Islas X 4 Patas group. Mayor Castro Dorta said that the request was only received three weeks ago, and showed how rapidly action could be taken where there was goodwill. There is a notice at the beach outlining the rules of use, and particularly important is the requirement for owners to clean up after their pets or face fines of between 30 and 150 Euros. Dogs which are classified as “potentially dangerous” must be kept on a lead and muzzled.

The Mysterious Pyramids Of Tenerife By Steve Andrews

Santa Barbara main pyramid

and centre was set up and opened in 1998 where the six pyramids stand in Güímar. Thor Heyerdahl believed that at one time the pyramid-building peoples of the world travelled the seas on rafts and he himself sailed from Morocco to Barbados on a papyrus raft known as Ra II to show this sort of thing could be done. It is also possible that the pyramids had been made by the mysterious Guanches, who once lived on the Canary Islands, although the academics have portrayed these people as living in primitive Stone Age ways.

One of the La Suerte pyramids Santo Domingo pyramid

and are thought to have been used for body painting. The Guanches also used to practice mummification of their dead, which, of course, is a practice the Egyptians also used.

Thor Heyerdahl

Thor Heyerdahl speculated that the pyramids were astronomically aligned and showed evidence for his theory that the pyramids were used for ceremonies at times of the year such as the summer solstice. It is accepted by archaeologists that the Guanches lived in and used the area of Güímar and proof of this has been found in caves, however, academics still insist that the pyramids were not made by the Guanches, and have put forward the idea they were constructed by landowners and farmers as a means of getting rid of the volcanic rocks. So the debate continues over who made the Pyramids of Güimar, or the Chacona Pyramids, as they are also known. Thor Heyerdahl wanted visitors to make up their own minds and so the symbol used at the exhibition of displayed material at the Ethnographic Park of Güímar is the question mark.

The pyramids of Tenerife

If I give you the word “pyramid” most people will think of Egypt or Mexico perhaps, but these ancient and mysterious buildings are found all over the world in many different countries and locations including Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

The main pyramids of Tenerife are in a town on the east coast called Güímar in the south of the island, where they had been more or less forgotten about until world famous explorer and archaeologist, the late Thor Heyerdahl, heard about them from a newspaper and decided they were authentic step-pyramids like he had seen on his travels in Peru, Mexico and elsewhere. He enlisted the support of Norwegian shipping magnate Fred Olsen, who lives on Tenerife, and the Ethnographic Park

Guanche pintadera

The mystery of the Guanches

The Guanches, who were invaded and conquered by the Spanish, are believed by many to be descendants of the Berbers from North Africa because they were known to be whiteskinned, often with blonde hair and blue eyes. How they arrived on the islands is another mystery because they did not use boats.

Atlantis

Other people who believe in Atlantis have put forward the idea that the Guanches were Atlantean descendants or even actual survivors. James Churchward who had a series of controversial books published in the early 1930s starting with The Lost Continent of Mu produced a map showing clearly that where the Canary Islands are today Atlantis once was. That the Guanches were familiar with the pyramid shape is shown by designs on artistic seals known as pintaderas that have been found,

Another unexplained mystery lies on the west side in the north of Tenerife, where similar and nonetheless impressive pyramids are to be found on farmland in La Suerte in the village of San Marcos, in Santa Bárbara, in La Mancha and at Santo Domingo, all of which villages are close to Icod de los VInos. Like Güímar, this area is known to have been a part of the island where the Guanches once lived and Icod de los Vinos is famous for its mighty Drago Milenario, a Dragon Tree (Dracaena draco ) said to be between 1,000 and 3,000 years old and a place where the Guanches once assembled. In Santa Bárbara there are several pyramids and even a house built next to one. But these pyramids appear to be forgotten and ignored - you will not find any mention of them in guidebooks or anywhere else for that matter. It is said that the Pyramids of Güímar were once fated for destruction to make way for local development in the area, and it appears that pyramids on the other side of the island may have already gone. Those still standing are what is left of a time when they were being built, but the question is - who by?

conducted individual mentoring sessions for those unemployed persons who were unable to attend the workshops. According to the Mayor, Marcos Afonso: “We believe it is essential to invest in such initiatives, as they contribute to alleviating the social and dramatic consequences that generates unemployment; and they try to give the minimum tools needed to get jobs.” Also, the Councillor responsible for the area of employment also stated that “It’s bringing training to our citizens, for this reason the workshops were given in three centres of the municipality: in Los Cristianos, Las Galletas and Valle de San Lorenzo, trying to make easier for people to attend”.

RuSSIAn tourism in Tenerife increased by 32.7% during the first half of 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, while the German and British markets make up the majority of occupancy rates.

According to the Tourism Tenerife office, during June 2013, Tenerife welcomed18,699 Russian tourists, 22.3% more than June last year. Juan Pablo Gonzalez, the manager of Ashotel said “these figures show that a market is very interesting and we obviously have to take into account that the Russian tourist does not usually cause problems and spends a lot, and that is something that interests us”. Mr. Gonzalez added that he has started taking Russian lessons because “this type of tourist, does not normally speak English”. He added that there have been several factors that have influenced the growth of this Russian market. Firstly, Tenerife has direct flights to Moscow which is a key factor and that the process for obtaining visas has been simplified. Mr. Gonzalez went on to say that employers in the tourism sector in the capital have also noticed an increase in Russian tourists in Santa Cruz, which

Mainland News In Brief Spain plans to make consumers pay for the clean electricity they generate and use themselves, a move unheard of in any other market. A new draft bill on power consumption includes a fee for electricity that’s generated by solar panels or other renewable sources and used on-site. The draft is being reviewed by industry regulator CNE. Spain is seeking to curb solar growth after payments to producers helped drive up power bills. The measures threaten its small-scale photovoltaic market, an industry in its infancy even as it booms in the U.K, Germany and North America. U.S. utilities have sought to limit payments for rooftop solar as they’re forced to credit producers for power not used on site. “The decree is an attack to market freedom that aims to prevent people from competing with established utilities,” Jose Donoso, managing director of Spain’s solar lobby group UNEF, said in an interview. “It’s like if they charged you when you turn off electric heaters and use a wood stove.” The bill will make self-generated solar power more costly than electricity bought from the grid, rendering such systems uneconomical, Donoso said. Consumers already pay grid-access fees that are enough to support the power network, he said. Aena, Spain’s state-owned airports operator has confirmed it would buy London Luton Airport Group Ltd. from Abertis Instraestructuras SA (ABE) as it looks for ways to diversify outside domestic market. Aena, which currently owns 46 airports in Spain, will pay 394.4 million pounds for the facility alongside the infrastructure fund of Axa Private Equity. Aena will own a 51% stake in the airport, with Axa controlling the remainder. Aena previously controlled 10% of the site in partnership with Barcelona-based Abertis. The Luton airport sale comes close on the heels of the Stansted Airport buy up by Manchester Airports Group for 1.5 billion pounds in February. Luton handled 9.6 million passengers last year and is the base for Europe’s second-biggest discount carrier EasyJet Plc. (EZJ) Firefighters brought a major forest blaze under control in central Spain, but the country remained on high alert for fires in the sweltering summer heat, authorities said. Spain’s agriculture ministry said in a statement it had sent aid including water-dumping aeroplanes and helicopters to help fight 11 wildfires across the country. One fire was brought under control after destroying 4,320 acres of farming area northeast of Madrid. 130 local residents were allowed to return to their homes after being evacuated because of that blaze and the fire service was continuing to monitor the area. Last year wildfires destroyed 152,992 hectares of land from January to July, after one of the driest winters on record. This year the winter was wetter and there have been fewer summer fires so far. Globetrotting to support an important cause, Eva Longoria attended the Starlite Gala in Marbella, Spain last weekend. The “Desperate Housewives” star was wearing a white sleeveless, knee-length dress with matching heels as she posed for photos before meeting her boyfriend Ernesto Arguello inside for dinner. Since the first event in 2010, the Starlite Gala raises funds for a variety of charities and humanitarian causes. Earlier in the day, Eva attended the Global Gift Celebrity Golf Tournament, explaining how even small steps go a long say, saying she thinks about “what I can do right now, in my community and in my foundation.”

Train Crash – Black Box Data Recovered

report on the black box data recovered from a train that derailed in Spain, killing 79 people, has confirmed it was speeding on a curve at twice the speed limit when it jumped off the tracks. Police forensic tests on the train’s black box recorders found the train was travelling at 179kph at the time of the crash, it should have been going at no more than 80kph.. The recordings also show the train driver ignored three warnings to slow down in the two minutes before the rail disaster.

The last warning came just 250 metres before a dangerous curve where the accident occurred in Santiago de Compostela. At that point, the train was going 195 kph. Four seconds later the driver applied emergency brakes, but by this time the train was already beginning to lose contact with the rails and all 13 carriages derailed at a speed of 179kph. The train came to rest in a mangled heap after ploughing into a concrete siding. 52-year-old Jose Garzon Amo has been released on bail charged with 79 counts of reckless homicide while the court runs a criminal investigation into Spain’s deadliest rail accident since 1944. Mr Garzon was on the telephone to the on-board conductor and stopped speaking just 11 seconds before the derailment on July 24, according to the black box report, adding: “At 20:41:06 the sound of the dragging of the train produced by the derailment is heard. At 20:41:16 the sound of dragging ends.” The on-board conductor, identified in the media as Antonio Martin Marugan, has admitted telephoning the driver to discuss which track to use in a later stop. But the court has said the call was

“normal” and the conductor was not to blame for the derailment. He is appearing only as a witness, not a suspect. In his first testimony to the Galicia regional court on Sunday Mr Garzon said he “didn’t understand” how he failed to brake in time. I can’t explain. I still don’t understand,” he told the judge when asked why he had not slowed down in time to take the sharp bend 4km away from Santiago de Compostela station. “I tell you sincerely that I don’t know. Otherwise I would not have been so crazy as not to brake earlier”, he said.

Railway officials say the track where the train crashed was not equipped with the automatic braking systems in place on some high-speed lines and that it was therefore left up to the driver to break. The driver told the judge he had braked, but by the time he did so the crash was “inevitable”. “Before the train turned over, I had activated everything but I saw that no, no, it wasn’t working,” he said in court. 54 passengers who were injured in the accident are still in hospital, nine in a critical condition.

Chopard Theft Suspect Arrested A suspect in the theft of jewellery worth 1 million euros during this year’s Cannes Film Festival was arrested in June during a robbery on Mallorca. A 40-year-old French-Algerian man, a notorious thief was caught in the act at a luxury hotel on the island on June 21 and taken into custody.

According to local paper, Journal du Dimanche, the man was “formally recognised through images taken by cameras at the Novotel,” the hotel in Cannes, France where the theft occurred on May 17. The claim has not been confirmed. “Comparisons were made” with theft from the Novotel, and the suspect was apparently “used to doing this kind of thing,” said a source close to the investigation. Chopard jewellery reportedly due to be loaned to film stars at Cannes was stolen from the hotel room of an American employee in a pre-dawn robbery in May. A strongbox containing jewels was ripped out of the wardrobe and carried off. The jeweller redesigned the festival’s Palme d’Or trophy and each year lends jewellery to stars for their walk up the red-carpeted steps at the Palais des Festivals. French investigators would be able to interview the suspect when they received instructions from their Spanish

counterparts, the source said. A further suspect is being sought in connection with the Chopard jewellery theft, according to French police.

abian Picardo, Gibraltar’s chief minister has accused Spain of “sabre-rattling like North Korea” after it threatened to impose sanctions on the Rock. He said Spanish foreign minister Jose Garcia-Margallo was being belligerent by threatening to charge workers almost £90 a day to cross the border.

Mr Garcia-Margallo suggested the proceeds could be used to help Spanish fishermen he claims have lost out because of damage to fishing grounds allegedly caused by Gibraltarian authorities. But Mr Picardo said: “The 10,000 Spanish workers that come into Gibraltar every day, they would be on the hook for 100 euros - 50 in and 50 out - when they might earn less than that each day. I think this is quite a silly remark for the Spanish foreign minister to have made. He is sabre-rattling a la North Korea. It almost makes you feel like you are listening to the politics of Franco in the 1950s and 60s.” In another interview, he said

Gibraltar Row Escalates Further that the border costs would violate European Union freedom of movement rules. He warned “hell will freeze over” before the Gibraltan authorities remove an artificial

reef Madrid claims is harming the interests of Spanish fishermen. He branded the possibility of Spain closing its airspace to flights from the Rock dangerous and the “poli-

tics of madness”. The Foreign Office has already voiced concerns over Mr GarciaMargallo’s comments and said Britain would not compromise

its sovereignty over Gibraltar. A spokesman made clear that the UK expects Madrid to live up to the commitments it made in the 2006 Cordoba Agreement. These include deals on issues like border crossings and access for flights, as well as establishing a tripartite forum for regular dialogue between Britain, Spain and Gibraltar. Mr Garcia-Margallo’s comments represent the latest dispute over the status of Gibraltar, following a number of alleged Spanish incursions into the territory’s waters. Spain claims sovereignty over the Rock, which stands on the southernmost tip of the Iberian Peninsula but has been a British Overseas Territory since the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713. The UK Government has made clear that it will not negotiate over sovereignty as long as Gibraltar’s people want to remain British. Foreign Secretary William Hague phoned Mr Garcia-Margallo last month to complain about Spain ramping up border checks, which forced drivers to wait for up to seven hours in searing heat. The Foreign Office summoned the Spanish ambassador, to demand assurances that there would be no repeat of the excessive checks.

Freed Paedophile Teenager Dies In Causes Outrage Balcony Fall

A paedophile that raped 11 children and mistakenly pardoned by Morocco’s king has been sent to prison after being recaptured in Spain. Daniel Galvan Vina was wrongly freed from prison in Morocco by King Mohammed VI and returned to Spain in a mix up which triggered riots in the North African country.

The King rescinded his pardon and an international arrest warrant was issued for Galvan, who was subsequently recaptured in the Spanish city of Murcia. A Spanish court ruled the 63-year-old should remain in prison while officials from both countries decide his fate. Galvan was convicted of raping 11 children aged between four and 15 in Morocco and sentenced to 30 years in prison there. Last month Spain says it asked Morocco to pardon 18 Spaniards imprisoned there and transfer 30 others back to Spain to serve their sentences. However, after an apparent misunderstanding, the king pardoned and freed all 48 on Throne Day on July 30. The decision sparked protests last week as thousands rallied in front of the parliament in the Moroccan capital Rabat, leading to violent clashes with police. On Sunday, the king rescinded his pardon and an international arrest warrant was issued. Morocco is now seeking Galvan’s extradition but under a bilateral agreement he could be allowed to serve out his sen-

tence in Spain. The case is also complicated by the fact that in Spain the government cannot revoke a pardon. The Spanish National Court heard that Galvan was born in Iraq but was granted Spanish nationality after marrying a Spaniard, whom he later divorced. The court said he has spent most of his life in Spain and Iraq but has also lived in Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Britain and most recently Morocco. The affair has caused embarrassment in both Morocco and Spain, with questions being raised about Galvan’s background. Daily newspaper El Pais reported that Galvan told his Moroccan lawyer that he was a former official in the Iraqi army who had worked with foreign secret services to oust Saddam Hussein. The name Daniel Galvan was “an identity that was fabricated by secret services when they got him out of Iraq, they provided him with Spanish documentation and converted him into a retired professor from Murcia,” the newspaper said. Galvan worked at the University of Murcia until 2002, before moving to the Moroccan port of Kenitra in 2005.

British teenager Thomas Ousby, 19, was killed after falling from a fire escape on the ninth floor of a four-star hotel in Magaluf, Majorca. Mr Ousby, who was believed to be staying at another hotel, had spoken about returning to the UK just days before his death.

The aspiring model and musician from London wrote on Twitter: “Magas all good, coming home sometime this week tho.” He told friends he was promoting bars and boat trips at the party resort, tweeting in June: “Crazy times haha! It’s all good selling tickets for bar crawls n boat parties.” Tributes flooded on to the site, including a picture of his name spelled out in tea-light candles. Lily Delphine, 18, a film student from London, wrote: “I wish we were all together again”, adding, “On the balcony with everyone, having a cheeky drink and listening to toms ipod.” Danielle McCabe tweeted: “Thomas William Ousby has the most amazing energy I’ve ever met in a person, I truly adore him and cannot under-

stand why he’s not here.” Milena wrote: “I will treasure every fond memory. Every morning you woke us up singing and dancing. Every ‘hii guyss’ through the window. Every big smile.” A spokesman for the Atlantic Park hotel in Magaluf, where the incident is reported to have happened, refused to comment. A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: “We were notified of the death of a British national in Spain and are providing consular assistance to the family at this time.”

www.tenerife-weekly.com Bullfighters are leaving Spain for pastures new in Peru, driven away by the economic crisis and ethical protests that means they cannot find work. The number of annual bullfights in Europe nearly halved to 1,997 last year from the start of the downturn in 2008, according to Vicente Royuela, a University of Barcelona economist who studies bullfighting. He said, it is down a further 15% this year.

Even before hard times bit, only 10% of Spanish bullfighters got more than 20 fights a year and half quit after six years. Star bullfighters can command up to 150,000 euros per appearance, but with 765 registered fighters in Spain many struggle to get enough performances. The drop is in the main due to the recession, if there is no work to be found in the ring, there are few jobs for an out-of-work matador to find outside. In addition, the growing strength of ethical objections to bullfights means that there are fewer events. Bullfighting has been outlawed in Catalonia since the be-

Tenerife Weekly - 9th August 2013 - 15th August 2013 ginning of 2012. Matador Francisco Torres Jerez said: “In Spain right now, for a bullfighter, the situation is, we say, at a second level. The capacity of the festivals is very complicated because they are decreasing, they are reducing the festivities and the truth is that this is harmful to us.” Nuno Casquinha managed to get into only one bullfight in the first four months of last year and had to spend his time raising bulls on his family farm and training in the basement: “Things were so bad, with no bullfighting in Europe, that I decided to take whatever I could.” He moved to Peru, where bullfights are thriving, and now has 40 fights lined up: “I’m going to leave here a winner, a well-known figure in bullfighting. I’ll make a mark. I won’t return to Europe a failure,” he added. He is not alone. Around 59 European bullfighters are now fighting in Peru – three times more than before the recession started. Peru hosts 540 bullfights, called corridas, a year, more than any other in Latin America. According to Dikey Fernandez, an author for Agenda Taurina, Peru’s leading bullfighting guide: “There are more bullfights than days in the year. The market is jammed.”

Bullfighters Turn To Peru For Work

Marriage Proposal Knock Back

Hopeless romantic David was thrown a curved ball at a baseball game after asking his girlfriend Jes-

sica to marry him at a New Britain Rock Cats minor league game in Connecticut last week. And judg-

ing by his reaction, it seems that this Romeo wasn’t prepared for the outcome. The couple were on the

field answering questions when the announcer passed the microphone to David, who one commenter claims worked for the team. ‘Will you marry me Jessica?’ he asked. Stepping back with her hands over her mouth, Jessica stammered: ‘David, I’m sorry, I can’t. She then ran out of the stadium as the announcer laughed: ‘Sorry, I don’t mean to laugh David, I don’t think we’ve ever had this happen before,’ he said. The rejected suitor turned bright red and ran out away, with the mascot still dancing around the field. Speculation has led to claims that the proposal

Father Rolls Car As Wife Gives Birth

Mokhles Raheema, whose wife gave birth while he raced to get her to hospital said the distraction caused him to roll the car four times on a Swedish motorway. Samaher Mezban was in the final stages of labour when her husband, who had taken his eyes off the road to see his daughter’s body emerge, lost control of the car.

Mr Raheema said his wife was in the passenger seat as he was racing to get her to a maternity ward in the eastern city of Gavle when she began giving birth: “She told me, ‘she’s coming out, she’s coming out!’ I saw my daughter come out and fall

head-first onto the floor.” Also travelling in the car, which he had borrowed from a friend, was the couple’s other two children. The car veered into a ditch before rolling over four times. When the car came to a rest, Mr Raheema said he could not find the new born baby. Finally, he spotted her under the passenger seat, “under her mum”. “I fetched her and held her against me. She was crying,” he said. Speaking from her hospital bed, an extremely relieved mother said: “I feel better. But I hurt all over.” Emergency workers, alerted by a passing motorist, drove the family to the hospital. Miraculously no one was seriously hurt in the accident.

could simply be a hoax, but others claim that the woman’s reaction seems pretty real. Witness, John Poutre, commented on YouTube that he believed the proposal was legitimate: ‘I was there, my first thought was that it was fake. But what would the point of that be?’ he wrote. ‘The guy worked for the team in some way, he ran in the dugout (saw him later) and she ran out of the stadium. All I can say is KNOW THE ANSWER BEFORE ASKING!!!’ Other Rock Cats fans, shocked at what they witnessed, posted on Twitter to sympathize with David. Donald Salvesen tweeted on August 2: ‘At the #rockcats game and we witnessed a

rejected, on field marriage proposal. The crowd gasped, the players were laughing as the girl ran off humiliated. Very bizarre moment.’ Meanwhile, Anthony Falcone wrote: ‘Just saw a rejected proposal onfield at this #rockcats game. So awkward and unfortunate.’ Professional photographer Scott Blanchette managed to get a picture of the beaming wanna-be groom as he got down on one knee and held out his hands. He posted the image, which shows Jessica looking decidedly uncomfortable, wringing her hands, on Twitter with the comment: ‘On field #proposal at the @RockCats game last night, she said no and ran off. :-(‘

www.tenerife-weekly.com In the midst of corruption claims within the Spanish government, one young lady is determined to make a difference. 30-year-old Ángela Covadonga Bachiller has made history by becoming Spain’s first Down Syndrome Councillor in Valladolid.

“I want to be an honest politician” said Bachiller as she began her job as a representative of Spain’s ruling Partido Popular in the city of Valladolid, north-west Spain. The previous holder of her post was forced to resign over corruption charges. “I don’t like dishonest politicians and those who don’t work for the people.” Bachiller had known for a while that she would be taking up her new political role, but her family kept her out of the spotlight up until she was officially named a Councillor in the city’s town hall. “I’m very excited, a bit nervous and surprised that there has been so much media attention,” Bachiller told the press: “It was a special moment in my life.” She has had been working as an administrative assistant in the Department of Social Welfare in Valladolid for the last two and a half years, and just missed out on becoming Town Councillor in 2011. Valladolid’s city mayor Francisco Javier León de la Riva described her as “an example of strength and of someone overcoming obstacles.” Her father describes her as “a very responsible and stubborn kid, if she had to get up a six o’clock

Spain’s First Down Syndrome Councillor

instead of seven to study because she was finding it (the schoolwork) harder, she would.” Her mother says that she is “prepared, qualified and discrete.” Bachiller’s new position as a Councillor will mean that she will be taking part in municipal plenary

sessions and other meetings. She is a strong believer that people with disabilities should be allowed to vote:”I’ve always voted since I was 18 years old, but other people (in my situation) have never been able to.” Spanish people with intellectual

disabilities are entitled to vote, but, should a Spanish judge declare a person with a disability “incapacitated”, they automatically lose the right. When Bachiller was asked whether she thought it should be a normal thing for people with disabilities

to work as politicians she said, “Yes, but I have to admit that not everybody dares to include us on their electoral list.” She is fully aware that the road she has chosen will be a hard one, but she hopes that she isn’t the only one with Down Syndrome to become a politician.

Big Baby! 13lb 7oz Man’s Best Friend – Just Like You Born Naturally British woman, Maxime Marin, has given birth to the biggest ever baby born naturally in Spain, a hospital has said. Even more impressive perhaps is that the 40-year-old did not even need an epidural during the birth.

The baby girl called Maria Lorena Marin weighed 13lb 7oz (6.095kg) which is about twice the size of an average baby. Hospital Marina Salud in the Mediterranean city of Denia said she was in “perfect health” following the straightforward delivery. Ms Marin said she expected the baby, born after 41 weeks, to be “big but not that big” as her three older children each weighed more than 9lb 14oz (4.480kg) at birth. She brushed off the five-hour labour as “simple”, while the new born’s Colombian father, Jaime Marin, said everything went well. Head of gynaecology at

the hospital, Dr Javier Rius, said in his 40 years of practice he had never known a baby born naturally to weigh so much. Earlier this year, a Californian woman gave birth to a child weighing even more than Maria. Jayden Sigler was 13lb 14oz (6.293kg) when he was delivered by Caesarean section. And George King became one of the heaviest babies born naturally in England when he was delivered earlier this year weighing 15lb 7oz (7.002kg).

Almost two-thirds of babies born in England and Wales in 2010 weighed between 6lb 9oz (2.976kg) and 8lb 13oz (3.997kg), according to the Office for National Statistics. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the heaviest baby born weighed 23lb 12oz (10.773kg) in Canada in 1879. But the baby, whose mother Anna Bates had giantism - a condition characterised by excessive growth and height significantly above average, died 11 hours later.

New evidence has found that backs up claims that dogs really are man’s best friend. Scientists discovered pooches find their owner’s yawns contagious. Researchers recruited 25 dogs to watch their owners and a group of strangers yawn or mimic yawning mouth movements. And they discovered the canines were far more likely to copy their owner yawning than the actions of a stranger.

The findings show a human-like ability to empathise with another person’s emotional state. The dogs were far more sensitive to genuine yawns, and yawned significantly less often after seeing fake movements. “Our findings are consistent with the view that contagious yawning ... may indicate that rudimentary forms of empathy could be present in domesticated dogs,” the scientists wrote

in the online journal Public Library of Science ONE. One possible explanation for yawning is that it is a tension-releasing reaction to mild stress. But the fact that the dogs responded more to their owners’ genuine yawns, and maintained a constant heartbeat, made this unlikely, said the researchers. Lead scientist Dr Teresa Romero, from the University of Tokyo, said: “Our study suggests that contagious yawning in dogs is emotionally connected in a way similar to humans.” Contagious

yawning is said to affect 45% to 60% of human adults, yet the causes and reasons for it remain unclear. In non-human primates, the phenomenon has been observed in chimpanzees, bonobos, and gelada baboons. Like humans, they are more responsive to yawns from individuals they have close social bonds with. Little evidence of contagious yawning has been seen in animals other than primates, said the scientists. But there has been a suggestion of it in one species of bird - the budgie.

THE father of teenager Hannah Smith who killed herself after being bullied online has called for the owners of the website on which she was abused to be charged with manslaughter. Hannah aged 14, from Lutterworth, Leicestershire, hanged herself after repeated messages encouraging her to kill herself and criticising her appearance on the social network site ask.fm.

Dave Smith has accused the website owners of not caring that “teenagers are dying and killing theirselves”.(sic) Speaking to the Daily Mirror in his first on-camera interview since Hannah’s death, Mr Smith said: “The people that run it should get done for manslaughter or murder because you try contacting them and they don’t care. These websites should be got rid of, if nothing else they need to be regulated and they need to stop people from doing this. “If David Cameron was sitting here now I would want to know why he hasn’t done something about this six, 12 - two years ago. Modern technology has gone on but the laws have stuck the same.” Ask.fm allows users to post anonymous questions and messages but has been criticised for not doing enough after several other teenagers took their lives, apparently after receiving abuse on the site. Mr Smith and Hannah’s stepmother Deborah said people needed to

think more about the effect of their online posts as it emerged their elder daughter Jo has also been the target of abuse on the site. “How could you?” Mrs Smith said. “People need to stop and think. You can’t just sit behind a keyboard and type something and think that doesn’t matter. There’s a complete lack of emotional intelligence.” Mr

Smith added: “There’s something not right with the world today that people can tell someone to die so many times that they actually do it.” He described his younger daughter was a “bubbly person” and a “pleasure to be around” and revealed he had intervened in the past to stop her being bullied at school. He also said, on the night be-

fore she died, Hannah had told him: “Goodnight Dad, I love you.” “I was 50 miles away in a lorry,” said Mr Smith, describing how he found out about her death. My brother turned round to me and said ‘Hannah’s hung herself’ and I said ‘is she dead?’, and he said ‘yeah’. I just broke down and turned the lorry round as fast as I could to get back.”

The Prime Minister promised the Government would look at any action it can take to stop future tragedies like Hannah’s death, which he called “an absolutely appalling case”. He also said: “The people that operate these websites have to step up to the plate and show some responsibility. There’s something all of us as parents and users of the internet can do and that is not use some of these vile sites: boycott them, don’t go there, don’t join them.” And he warned that people online were not above the law and could be punished for inciting anyone to do harm or become violent. Ask.fm, based in Latvia, has called Hannah’s death a “true tragedy” and said it is cooperating with Leicestershire Police’s investigation. In a statement the site said it actively “encourages users and their parents to report any incidences of bullying”, either by using the in-site reporting button, or via the website’s contact page. All reports are read by our team of moderators to ensure that genuine concerns are heard and acted upon immediately - and we always remove content reported to us that violates our Terms of Service,” the statement added. anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 08457 90 90 90 or email jo@samaritans.org.

he FBI is reinvestigating the 1964 kidnapping of a new born baby, after DNA tests revealed the wrong boy was later returned to the elated parents. Paul Fronczak, 49, is a married father of his own now, and for a long time he has wondered why he did not resemble his own father and mother, Chester and Dora Franczak. The family underwent genetic testing earlier this year to prove once and for all that he was their biological son. The test came back negative. Mr Fronczak wrote his parents a letter when he got the results to let them know: “I really feel in my heart that the real Paul Fronczak is alive and well ... and nothing would make me more happy in this life than to find the real kidnapped child, and at the same time I wouldn’t mind finding out who I am.” Hundreds of police officers and FBI agents searched for the couple’s new born son after he was abducted from Michael Reese Hospital Chicago in April 1964. The case came to an apparently happy end more than a year later when an abandoned child resembling the Fronczaks’ baby was found in New Jersey and returned to them. The police made the decision largely based on the pointed shape of the child’s ears. With no proof at the time that he was their son, the

Wrong Family Gets Baby After Kidnapping

happy parents had to legally adopt the one-year-old. The elderly Fronczaks have refused to comment about the reopening of the investigation. They say they prefer not to get directly involved as it would be too painful for them: “We went through this once, and we certainly don’t want to go through this again.” Joan Hyde, a spokeswoman for the FBI’s Chicago office, said the bureau decided to reopen the Fronczak case after reviewing the original case file: “We decided it merited another look,” she said. “The main thing is to look at physical evidence and see if technology and tests that weren’t available when the case was originally worked could provide leads.” The bureau is likely to interview witnesses as part of the investigation, which is expected to “take time”. Paul Fronczak has said he just wants to learn his true identity: “I don’t know how old I am, or who I am, or what nationality, all those things you just take for granted,” he has said.

Nelson Mandela Continues To Fight For His Life

De Niro & Streep Together Again

The former wife of Nelson Mandela has spoken of the pain of seeing her ex-husband fighting for his life in hospital. Her comments were made two months after the South African liberation hero was first rushed to hospital with a recurring lung infection.

He remains critical but stable at MediClinic Heart Hospital in Pretoria, with the South African presidency insisting he has shown some signs of improvement. His former wife Winnie MadikizelaMandela spoke of the strain of his long illness on the whole family. Her comments fly in the face of media reports that the well-loved former President is, to all intents and purposes, already dead. “It’s so cruel,” she said in an interview at her Soweto home: “All around us we see people erecting scaffolding, preparing for a funeral. He has been predeceased. Do people not think of our emotions?” She spoke of the anguish of seeing the country’s anti-apartheid leader lying vulnerable in his hospital bed: “For those of us who know him, who know his strength, it is very hard,” she said. But she said despite being critically ill, his eyes still “lit up” when his children entered the room to see him: “That is how he communicates with them,” she said. She denied the reports that her former

husband was in a permanent vegetative state: “Why would we conceal that?” she said. And she praised the medical team, of 22 specialists who are working round the clock to help her former husband. He is now breathing normally, Mrs Madikizela-Mandela said. She brushed

aside reports of rifts within her family, mentioning it only in passing - “every family has their difficulties”, she said. She said the family knew “the inevitable” would eventually happen and he “could not last forever” but she insisted only God could decide when that would be.

The novel is about Hildy Good, played by Streep, a recovering alcoholic who fires up an old romance with Frank Getchell, played by De Niro. De Niro, 69, and Streep, 64, starred together in 1978 Vietnam War drama The Deer Hunter, named as one of the best films of all time and won five Oscars, as well as 1984’s Falling In Love and 1996’s Marvin’s Room. FilmNation Entertainment announced that it acquired the rights for The Good House from Jane Rosenthal, De Niro’s producing partner. She will produce the film for Tribeca Productions along with FilmNation’s Aaron Ryder and Karen Lunder. Streep has won three Academy Awards, most recently for playing Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, while De Niro earned one for his role in Raging Bull and another for The Godfather Part II.

www.tenerife-weekly.com Domenico Rancadore, the head of a crime family who had been on the run for 19 years has been arrested in London, Italian police have confirmed. The 64-year-old Mafia boss was one of Italy’s most wanted criminals and had been sentenced to seven years in jail in his absence for Mafia association.

According to Italian police, he was involved in extortion, racketeering and drug trafficking. Italian detectives knew he was living in London and had failed to have him arrested in the past because the crime of Mafia association is not recognised by authorities in Britain. However circumstances changed in recent weeks and police were able to move in. Rancadore was arrested as he returned to the home in Uxbridge, west London; he shares with his wife Anna Maria, 60, and two children Giuseppe, 36, and Daniela, 33. It is thought he initially attempted to escape but was quickly caught and overpowered by unarmed Scotland Yard officers. Rancadore, nicknamed “u profissuri” (the teacher) as he was a qualified PE teacher but then turned to a life of crime, following in the footsteps of his father Giuseppe, who was also a top Mafia boss and given a life sentence. He was running a travel agency with his wife and said by Italian police to be “living a golden life” in Britain, with a comfortable home as well as top of the range Jaguar and Mercedes cars. Italian police sources said

he was using the alias “Marco Skinner” and had no official documents in his real name. He had gone on the run in 1994 after being jailed by a court in Palermo, Sicily, where he ran the Caccamo and Trabia areas on the outskirts of the city in the 80s. He was said to have been involved in the so-called Mafia Wars 30 years ago but was never directly convicted of murder. A police source stated: “Rancadore is a senior Mafia figure and his arrest is highly significant. Obviously we would like to pass on our thanks to colleagues in London who carried out the arrest. We had information that he was in London and we shared this with the police there and it led to his arrest”. “He was held thanks to good police work in Italy, with the information being passed to London. He will appear in

court and hopefully be extradited as quickly as possible.” According to Italian media Rancadore was living so openly in London he was even collecting his pension - considering himself untouchable because his conviction was not recognised. He was said to be still running his criminal activities despite being more than 1,000 miles away from Palermo. During one investigation a Mafia supergrass called Gaetano Lima reportedly told investigators: “Rancadore is dangerous, I can assure you of that. I know that because I brought him up.” It is not the first time a Mafia gangster has been arrested in London. In 2006 Raffaele Caldarelli was held in Hackney where he was running a shoe shop and in 2012 cop killer Gianfranco Techegne was held outside St James’s Park post office.

Talk To The Dead Via iPhone

A couple from Indiana have developed a phone app that they claim lets the spirit world communicate with the living one and gives the dead a voice, through the medium of iPhone.

Ghost hunters Roger Pingleton and Jill Beitz, of Greenwood, created Spirit Story Box which claims to translate supernatural electricity into English words. Pingleton said his goal was to improve on other paranormal apps for the iPhone, saying: “Bottom line is we wanted people to have fun with it.” Beitz and Pingleton and several others recently used Spirit Story Box to search for ghosts at the Wayne County Historical Museum in Richmond. According to Pingleton: “They had a blast with it. They had numerous words spoken that related directly to the areas where they were hunting.” The Spirit Story Box app works by picking up

changes in random electrical noise to select words from a pre-programmed vocabulary. When the app hits on something, it comes out of the iPhone as a spoken word. Spirit Story Box cost 99 cents to download at the Apple app store, but, currently, there is no Android version. Some paranormal investigators think the spirits can manipulate random streams of data. Scientists, of course, denounce the idea. The app, like a thousand other devices that claim to detect or communicate with spirits, cannot be proven to work. Wanda Lou Willis, 75, a folklore historian and author from Indianapolis, has researched the supernatural and haunted locations for several books. She said many people believe that electronic devices can be tuned to communicate with spirits: “Electricity seems to attract the spirits,” Willis said. “Human beings have a lot of electricity in our bodies. “It is believed that when we pass over our spirit becomes something in the universe, sort of an electrical current.”

The 32-year-old, watched as the house on Seymour Avenue in East Cleveland, in which she was held against her will and repeatedly raped by the 53-year-old, was totally demolished Miss Knight, along with two other women who were kidnapped by Castro, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, endured years of cruelty and brutality behind the suburban facade. They were kept behind locked doors and chained by their ankles. It only took 20 minutes to tear down the property, part of a plea deal that spared Castro a possible death sentence and allowed him to be jailed for life, plus 1,000 years. Speaking at the scene, Miss Knight, who last week made a powerful and moving statement to the court

sentencing Castro, said she did not want to be defined by the horrors that had gone on at the house: “Nobody was there for me when I was missing, and I want the people out there to know, including the mothers, that they can have strength, they can have hope, and their child will come back. They will ... just have the love in God and you’ll see they’ll come back.” Prosecutors said Castro cried when he signed over the house deeds and mentioned his “many happy memories” there with the women. As the house was being demolished, Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty told the crowd: “This was one evil guy.” Giving her statement in court last week, Miss Knight told Castro: “You took 11

years of my life away and I have got it back. I spent 11 years in hell. Now you’re hell is just beginning. I will overcome all this has happened, but you will face hell for eternity.” The three women, who were snatched aged 20, 16 and 14, escaped from the house on May 6 when Miss Berry and her six-year-old daughter managed to break free after removing part of the front door and calling to a neighbour for help. The clearing of the site was expected to be completed swiftly and the building materials will be shredded to prevent rubble being sold online as so-called “murderabilia”, although no one was killed at the home. Google Earth blurred out a satellite image of the house, before the demolition even began. Sceptics, and there are many, say devices and programs like the Spirit Story box iPhone app are neatly packaged random word generators. Any connections the selected words or phrases bring forth, critics say, are found solely in the minds of gullible users. But for every critic there is a believer. A 2003 Harris Poll found 51% of the public believes in ghosts. “There is nothing in this world that doesn’t exists for someone, somewhere, at some time, including being able to connect with and contact a spirit,” Willis said. “You have to have your mind open to it to have it really happen.”

dustin Hoffman Cancer treatment

apple Charger trade-in

Apple has announced a worldwide programme to replace third-party and counterfeit uSB power adaptors at a cheaper price. The decision comes after Ma Ailun, 23, collapsed and died in China last month while answering her phone as it was being charged with a nonApple device. The technology giant has said consumers can buy an authentic uSB adaptor for around £6.50, the normal price is around £15 in the uK.

In a statement, Apple said in a statement: “Recent reports have suggested that some counterfeit and third-party adaptors may not be designed properly and could result in safety issues. While not all third-party adaptors have an issue, we are announcing a USB Power Adaptor Takeback Programme to enable customers to acquire properly designed adaptors. Customer safety is a top priority at Apple.” Phil Buckle, director general of the Electrical Safety Council in the UK, warned about the dangers of cheap USB chargers: “Whilst everyone loves a bargain, if a cheap electrical product turns out to be fake then it is, at best, a waste of money. At worst, it could result in the death of a loved one. More than four mil-

Designed abble in California lion counterfeit goods were seized coming into the UK last year and one of the top fakes was phone chargers. This is worrying as faulty electrical goods are a leading cause of severe electric shock in the UK and cause thousands of house fires each year.” The Apple initiative will take place at stores and participating authorised service providers from August 16 to October 18. Anyone who wants to take up the offer will have to provide the serial number of their iPhone, iPad or iPod, and hand over a USB charger. The reduced price Apple chargers will be limited to one per Apple device.

Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman, aged 75, has had treatment for cancer, the actor’s publicist has confirmed. Jodi Gottlieb did not reveal what kind of cancer the star was diagnosed with, or when the diagnosis took place, but said the cancer had been “detected early and he has been surgically cured”.

“Dustin is feeling great and is in good health,” she said, adding that he will be continuing with preventative measures to avoid a recurrence of the disease. Hoffman, who won the best actor Oscar for his roles in 1979’s Kramer vs Kramer and 1988’s Rain Man, made his directorial debut with the 2012 comedy-drama Quartet. The legendary actor has starred in dozens of other movies, first making his name in 1967 playing 20-year-old Benjamin Braddock, who is seduced by Mrs Robinson,

played by Anne Bancroft, in The Graduate. He has received acclaim for roles in Midnight Cowboy, Little Big Man, All The President’s Men and Marathon

Man. Hoffman is set to star alongside Scarlett Johansson and Robert Downey Jr in the Jon Favreau-directed comedy Chef, which is set for release next year.

www.tenerife-weekly.com Officials in Newport are trying to find a mystery gardener after cannabis plants were apparently planted in council pots. Around 30 of the illegal plants were photographed in the flower displays close to the city’s castle and high street. But by the time council gardeners were told about the distinctive plants they had disappeared.

Steve Reynolds, who owns a shop in the indoor market, said he smelt the plants before he saw them: “It was about a week ago we spotted them. Walking into work I would see the council there with their vans watering the plants every morning, so the person who planted them also had the advantage of the council tending them.” Dean Beddis, the owner of Kriminal Records, managed to take photos of the plants before they disappeared: “It was the fact they were in the Newport Council official plant

Tenerife Weekly - 9th August 2013 - 15th August 2013 pots with the Newport logo on there. Where they were and what they were planted in was the funny aspect of it. It made us smile.” Newport City Council said there was no longer any evidence of the plants: “The photographs provided appear to show mature plants added to a council planter. Although this could be a hoax, it is a serious issue and Newport City Council will be informing the police and checking its CCTV cameras for additional evidence.” Newport has won the prestigious Wales In Bloom competition seven times, but there are those who believe the council should be spending less time on the plants and more time trying to grow local business. Some have suggested the cannabis plants may have been a stunt to embarrass council officials. Gwent Police said: “Now that the plants have apparently disappeared it’s difficult to determine whether they were in fact illegal cannabis plants or not, and if so, whether they had been deliberately planted for cultivation.”

UK’s Longest Serving Bobby Retires

Britain’s longestserving police officer is retiring after 47 years in the job. PC Mick Mountain, 66, from Morden in south London joined the Metropolitan Police Service after taking “the best piece of advice my Dad could have given me”.

The role of a policeman nowadays, however, is a “totally different job to when I joined”, he said, explaining that officers have to do “more or less twice the work” due to increased admin. PC Mountain, attached to the Palace of Westminster which takes in the Houses of Commons and the Lords for the past 18 years, also said crime is down only because people

have “too many problems” reporting it. Although he has had “the most fantastic career”, PC Mountain expressed frustration at how advances in technology have led to officers having to spend more time ensuring information is electronically filed. When asked if he thought more time was being spent on admin than on fighting

Louis Quits X Factor

Louis Walsh has revealed he is quitting The X Factor after the next series. The 61-year-old Irish entertainment manager has been on the judging panel of the hit ITV talent show since it launched in 2004.

He said in an interview: “I’m happy this is going to be my last year. I’ve been judging X Factor for 10 years, so I’ve done it all.” He added: “It was never in my plan to be on TV, but Simon Cowell put me there. I’m very grateful to him but I need my life back!” Walsh, who brought Westlife and Boyzone to the wolrd’s stages, said he wanted to focus on managing bands: “I’m going to be managing Shane Filan from Westlife and I’m putting together a new boy band,” he said. On The X Factor, Walsh, who was replaced by choreographer Brian Friedman before being sharply reinstated, mentored series two winner Shayne Ward, boy band JLS and gave the world the phenomenon that is Jedward. He has already begun filming auditions for this year’s show with co-judges Gary Barlow, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger. Osbourne, who quit the show in 2008, has said she has no plans to extend her X Factor comeback for more than this one series. crime, he said: “Well I’m finding it is. I don’t actually work in a police station obviously any longer. I work at the Palace of Westminster on security, so I don’t get as much work as they do. From what I gather, yes it is the case, because I’ve tried to report crimes myself like any other citizen and it’s a little more difficult than it used to be. ‘Oh yes, could you call in? Or could you send us an email? I’m a policeman, I want to report it to a police officer, basically. And I think that is

one of the reasons recently crime’s gone down. People won’t report it. Too many problems. But that’s another issue.” PC Mountain also said that while people are still as violent as they were in the past, the public expects police officers to “behave in a different manner” now. Despite the changes he has witnessed throughout his career, PC Mountain, who has arrested thousands of criminals, said: “I’ve had a great time.”

He recalled one frightening arrest when the man, who was holding a hand grenade, threatened to pull the pin. PC Mountain ripped the grenade from him before throwing it into open space. Although terrified, he said it is not until after that sort of scenario is over that you realise the danger you were in, and “that’s what police do”, he said. PC Mountain, who is married with two children, is looking forward to enjoying travelling more in his retirement.

then went out onto the promenade and watched Lazlo perform some juggling skills which was no easy task given the tourists who were walking past! Kofi-Lee finished the first round of performances, this time without his guitar. It was decided to do a reverse order of performances and so Kofi-Lee started things off, back with his guitar and fabulous vocals. Lazlo gave a spell binding ball manipulation performance then came the singers; Alaya with another Adele tune, Skyfall, Billie and Roy with their version of Tom Jones Baby it’s cold outside – which it clearly was not! Georgina sang her heat song again Mercy by Duffy and Lisa gave a foot tapping performance with Fairground Attractions, Perfect.

new prison term proposals for dangerouS dog oWnerS

unDER new sentencing proposals put out by the Government for consultation, owners of killer dogs could face life in prison - an increase from the current maximum of two years. Higher sentences are proposed for owners who allow their dogs to attack members of the public and life imprisonment is one such option. 10 years is the maximum prison term suggested for the owner of a dog which injures a person or kills an assistance dog, such as a guide dog for the blind.

In February, the Government said it would introduce new measures to tackle out-of-control dogs by changing the law to ensure owners can be prosecuted regardless of where their dog attacks. The new consultation will run to September 1 and will be used to inform recommendations put forward in the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Bill. 16 people have been killed by

dangerous dogs since 2005, including 14-year-old Jade Anderson who was savaged by four dogs as she was visiting the home of a friend near Wigan in March. Animal welfare minister Lord de Mauley said: “Dog attacks are terrifying and we need harsh penalties to punish those who allow their dog to injure people while out of control.” The Communication Workers Union (CWU), representing postmen and women and telecoms engineers, who suffer around 5,000 dog attacks each year, welcomed the consultation. CWU general secretary Billy Hayes said: “Current sentencing arrangements do not match the serious nature of offences. Sixteen people have been killed since 2005 by dogs, yet the maximum prison sentence is just two years. Only one person has ever been imprisoned for a dog attack on a postal worker and as the fatality rate from dog attacks grows, sentencing must get tougher.” Last month, Jade Anderson’s parents, along with the parents of four-year-old John Paul Massey, who died after his uncle’s pitbull at-

tacked him in 2009, handed in a petition at 10 Downing Street calling for David Cameron to take action

to prevent more attacks. They called for preventative measures and education to put a

stop to the 210,000 attacks and 6,000 hospital visits caused by dangerous dogs each year.

Llama Drama Stopped Studio Sessions

As covered in the Tenerife Weekly last issue, Queen guitarist Brian May is working with William Orbit to complete some material that the deceased music legends Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson, recorded together for the purpose of using one of the duets on Jackson’s album “Thriller”.

Trailerblazers!!

The other day whilst absentmindedly on YouTube I came across this absolutely brilliant fan made trailer for Avengers 2. Ever wondered what the credit roll for an Avengers movie would look like if it was made in the silent era of the 1920’s?

The part of the story I love the most is the real reason why Mercury walked away from the project- Michael kept insisting on bringing his LLAMA into the studio every day?!! I can imagine the conversation; Freddie: “Michael darling there’s some kind of ruddy animal in the vocal booth dear!” Michael: “the llamas mine (mine mine) but don’t worry she’s a lover not a fighter- shamo!!” Freddie: “I’m sorry Michael love, I can’t work Under Pressure like this, I mean a bloody llama in the recording studio-it’s not just Bad, it’s Dangerous!! Tata sweetie!!” Michael: “well that’s a shame (Hee Hee) mind you, at least I’ve just got the names of my next 2 albums!”

Captain Jack To Hang Up His Hat?

It’s hard to believe Johnny Depp is 50, (21 Jump Street was a looong time ago) but he is and it looks like his acting days may soon be over as he told the BBC last week he’s looking forward to moving on to “quieter things”.

The megastar whose latest Hollywood movie “The Lone Ranger” (in which he plays Tonto) is proving a tough sell and could cost Disney a cool $150 million, says he expects retirement is not too far away; “I wouldn’t say I’m dropping out any second, but I would say it’s probably not too far away,” said Depp. “When you add up the amount of dialogue that you say per year and you realise that you’ve said written words more than you’ve had a chance to say your own words, you start thinking about that as an insane option for a human being.” Luckily for Disney he can earn them some cash

Avengers 2

back on the upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” in which he’ll grab the eyeliner once again to play Captain Jack Sparrow. With that as well as a rumoured sequel to “Alice in Wonderland” in which his Mad Hatter may return and several other projects in the pipeline, I for one am pleased we haven’t seen the last of Johnny just yet!!

Well - wonder no more! This delightful clip made by Youtuber thatdarnaccount, posted this with his clip featuring striking graphic representations of the leading characters next to the actors name; “What if “Avengers 2” takes place... in the 1920’s?!?!? It’s a couple months too late for “Avengers” mania, and it’s a couple of years ahead of “Avengers 2” mania, but I hope you enjoy it anyway” It’s really well made and got me interested in other fan made trailers-so here’s some of the best I found, some of these may never get made-and some look like they should have let the fans make the movie-they may have done a better job!

Life for former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane and his family seems content. Suddenly, the world is plagued by a mysterious infection turning whole human populations into rampaging mindless zombies. After barely escaping the chaos, Lane is persuaded to go on a mission to investigate this disease.

Thundercats - the movie

The much mooted big budget live action version of this popular 80’s cartoon has been hotly anticipated (especially by my wife) for years! This fan (wormytv) obviously got bored of waiting-its brilliant, using existing footage from movies such as “Troy”, “The Chronicles of Riddick” and the “X-Men” movies, it casts Brad Pitt, Vin Diesel, Hugh Jackman and that bird out of “Farscape” as Lion-O,Panthro, Tigra and Cheetara by giving them computer enhanced cat make-up, you will want this movie made!! Look out for a psychedelic paint-jobbed Garfield as comic-relief alien Snark!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb50G MmY5nk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Green Lantern

Many people felt the voice of the animated GL Nathan Fillion -a great actor in his own right-was robbed of the role. This creative fan seamlessly blends a multitude of clips (check out the list on the info section of the clip) with footage of Fillion

-making what most comments say,a superior product compared to the actual movie!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ hTiRnqnvDs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

He insisted the babies would have been “eaten by cats or dogs” had they not been discovered by the show. During his long broadcasts he cooks, interviews clerics and celebrities, entertains children and hosts games, usually giving prizes like motorbikes, mobile phones and land deeds to audience members who answer questions about Islam. At the beginning of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan, television stations battle to get ratings, Mr Hussain astonished viewers when he presented two families with babies. “We were told that we had passed all the interviews and had been selected to adopt a baby,” said Riaz Uddin, 40, an engineer. “We got our baby

on live TV.” The abandoned babies were rescued by the Chhipa Welfare Association, a Pakistani aid organisation. “In a day or two, the next baby will be given away, God willing,” its head, Ramzan Chhipa, said. While the Chhipa teams search rubbish dumps and other sites for discarded new borns, Mr Hussain is also appealing for babies directly: “If any family cannot afford to bring up their new born baby due to poverty or illness then instead of killing them, they should hand over the baby to Dr Aamir,” a notice on his website reads. The children would be given to deserving couples on air, the notice said. However, many Pakistanis expressed disgust that aban-

doned babies were being given away in what they see as an attempt to boost ratings. Hussain insists the two couples were pre-screened for their suitability as parents. One of the couples said they married more than 15 years ago but have been unable to have their own child. The host says he is right to find good homes for abandoned babies in a country without official laws of adoption: “We are trying to create an environment in the society for those people who are needy and want to adopt babies,” Mr Hussain said. “It is not commercialisation, it is not showbiz. It is real Islam. Where are the actors? Where are the actresses? I have not seen any actors or actresses here.”

Sharples in Session By John Sharples

Murder Is A Drag Last Week’s Letter

I think we have all stated at some time that we would like to write a book, however it takes a lot of dedication and time. My friend has been working on a story for the last three years and has finally decided that it is ready for publication. A resident of Tenerife, JL Renraw’s novel “Murder is a Drag” is now available from Amazon.com on kindle. There has been a murder and there is Drag Queen involved! I wonder if it is anyone I know!

Slade is the Detective Chief Inspector currently in charge of the police station in South Beach, a sleepy coastal town situated an hour’s drive from Central London. It is a freezing cold night as 3 friends set off from London hoping to begin a successful new business. Their appointment is on a desolate trading estate on the outskirts of this sleepy coastal town. It is one month before Christmas - a time of good cheer to all men (if only). On the loose in South Beach is a demented, knife wielding, monster and no-one is safe. DCI Slade has quickly realised that only his team - fronted by Sergeant Dobbs at the station’s desk - can stop this monster. Before more blood is spilt. The race is on!

If you remember a couple of months ago, I ran a story on that exact subject. Put your shopping and bags into the boot of your car and you will save yourselves a lot of money. These are desperate times and fines are a legal way of getting money from the public.

I wish JL Renraw the very best of luck with the new novel and I hear that there is a second one in the pipeline already.

To The Editor

id you see last week’s letter to the editor about the resident who got a 200 euro fine for having items on the back seat of the car?

Creating a false page on facebook and using someone else’s photograph could land you in court on a charge of identity theft and even fraud. There are ways of finding out who has created a false page via the IP address which is assigned to your computer.

People have recently been starting false accounts so that they can threaten people and authorities are starting to clamp down on these madmen (or women).

If you feel that you are suffering from abuse via facebook or that someone is using a false identity to get to you personally, report

them to facebook first, so that an investigation can be started. Facebook is a great place, have fun, but be careful.

once stuck on a broken down train for four and a half hours. If the thing is in the middle of a field in the countryside, what on earth do they expect the rail company to do? Fly them out on a winged tractor? I can’t help wondering, however, how they would have felt if they had been on the train that crashed two weeks ago in Spain. At least they got out alive. These things happen, life isn’t always perfect and the British will always make sure that they have a good moan!

A TERMInALLy ill twoyear-old boy who was best man at his parents wedding, died just two days after his big day

Christine Swidorsky Stevenson said on her Facebook page that Logan Stevenson died in her arms at 8.18 pm on Monday at the home she shared with the boy’s father and her new husband, Sean Stevenson. The couple live in Jeannette, about 25 miles east of Pittsburgh in western Pennsylvania. They were married at a weekend ceremony at their home. They moved the date of their nuptials forward so Logan could take part. The boy, who had leukaemia and other complications, was dressed in a tan-coloured pinstripe suit and orange shirt for Saturday’s 12-minute ceremony. His mother said on Facebook: “Today Logan was doing very bad ... his breathing was very rapid then slowing down. I’m so sad, upset and I’m in disbelief ... he is with angels and he’s in no more pain, no more sickness, no more hospitals.” Two-year-old Logan, who had a rare terminal illness and only weeks to live, was allowed to be the star of the show as he acted out the role of best man at his parent’s wedding on Saturday. Christine Swidorsky and Sean Stevenson brought forward the date of

their nuptials so little Logan could take part and see them getting married. The couple wanted him to walk down the aisle with them. Logan was born with a rare genetic disorder called fanconi anemia which often leads to cancer. The toddler was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia and most recently with clear-cell carcinoma after doctors found a tumour on his kidney. Ms Swidorsky told CBS Pittsburgh station KDKA-TV: “I’ve learned so much from Logan. He’s made me a better person. He’s just an angel

from heaven, and I’m going to miss him.” Most of the items for the wedding were donated by friends, family, even strangers. She said: “We got this all together with family and friends. All the help and donations from everybody, we thank you so much. There’s such kind people out there, you don’t even know who cares.” Mr Stevenson said: “You know, the only thing that keeps us going is our family and our love, so that’s what we’re here for, for our son, until God says so.”

Question One: Which is the odd one out of the following: inch, foot, yard, chain, furlong, acre, mile?

Question Two: What is the largest gland in the human body: liver, lymph, pancreas, or prostate?

Question Three: What is the name of the Greek Goddess associated with

vengeance?

Question four: According to legend, who rid Ireland of its snakes? Question five: What is a theodolite? Question Six: What stretch of water separates Tasmania and Australia? Question Seven: The Canary Isles are off the coast of which country? Question Eight: What island was known as Van Dieman’s and until 1855? Question nine: Which animal is considered sacred by the Hindus? Question Ten: What is the study of fossils called? Question Eleven: Traditionally, cricket bats are made from which tree?

A SuRVEy by 192.com has found that one fifth of online dating profiles are completely false. A poll of 2,000 people found that 18% admitted to lying about their age, 28% exaggerated their financial status, while 10% admitted to faking where they lived.

Online dating websites say they are taking all possible steps to try to stop fraudsters from misusing their services. But many people have already been taken in by those who are not quite what they seem. Mary Turner met her husband William on-

line; they went on to have two children. It then emerged that he was a bigamist, who had fathered 13 children with six different women. Ms Turner was left £198,000 in debt, and wrote a book about her experiences: “He actually had 13 children by six different women that we found since. He ripped me off for £198,000, and took me for everything I owned.” Dominic Blackburn, spokesman for 192. com said: “It’s very easy to present yourself in a very different way on online dating sites and social networking sites - it’s far easier to do it on that than on a face to face basis.”

Herbs of mars in tenerife!

nicholas Culpeper by Richard Gaywood

ES, you read the title correctly but you must be wondering what I mean by “Herbs of Mars” so I had better explain. The plants I am going to tell you about are all ones that grow here on Earth but it is believed that they are ruled over by the Red Planet. Just as Mars governs the sign of Aries in astrology, the God of War is said to be the ruler for many herbs that grow here. The ancient herbalist Nicholas Culpeper was one of the main people responsible for de-

ciding what planets and their gods or goddesses governed particular plants according to characteristics they had. The god Mars was associated with war so herbs that have spines and look aggressive could be grouped under the ruling of the Red Planet. Red berries, flowers or sap could be thought to represent blood, so again they could be considered Martian characteristics. The dragon tree (Dracaena draco) was an obvious candidate for being a herb of Mars with its leathery and spiky leaves, its reddish berries and the sap that dries red and is known as “dragon’s blood.” It can be thought of as a warrior plant too because it is tough and able to withstand drought, heat and very arid conditions. Many plants in the Euphorbiaceae or spurge family were included in the herbs governed by Mars. They all have poisonous latex that bleeds if the plants are cut, many have red bracts and some succulent species look like cacti and bear spines. These are all warlike characteristics. The Canary spurge or cardón (Euphorbia canariensis) is a prime exam-

Euphorbia canariensis ple. It has sturdy succulent stems with spines all along their edges as well as curious reddish threepointed seed capsules. The Canary spurge oozes a white and toxic sap if cut and the plant grows in semidesert areas and on rocky slopes. The milk-striped spurge (E .lactea) is another cacti-form species. It forms small trees and is often grown in shrub borders. It has spiny edges to its candelabra-style stems and branches and a whitish stripe down the centre of these succulent stalks. The red spurge (E. atropurpurea) is a succulent shrub in the Euphorbia genus that has red bracts around its tiny flowers. Like its cousin the Canary spurge, it grows in arid parts of

Crown of Thorns the island and on mountain slopes. The crown of thorns (E.milii) is often to be seen in flower borders around the island. It is a very prickly plant covered with thorns and it has bright red bracts protecting its tiny flowers. It comes from Madagascar originally but is well-suited to Tenerife too. The poinsettia (E. pulcherimma) is not an endemic species but is often grown in Tenerife for its striking appearance and associations with Christmas. Poinsettias can form large bushes and are often planted along roadsides and in gardens in the north of the island. The poinsettia has large red bracts around its flowers. Many people think of the bracts as petals but in fact they are a specialized form of leaf. Wormwood is a herb of Mars and Tenerife has its own native species known here as “Incienso.” The Canary Island wormwood (Artemesia canariensis) has a very strong smell that can be likened to incense. Like all the wormwood species it is an exceedingly bitter plant that can be toxic if consumed. It is an invasive weed and rapidly colonizes abandoned farmland. Wormwood is a main ingredient of the very potent alcoholic drink known as absinth. In herbal medicine

Tree Tobacco the plant is used for many purposes including, as its name suggests, for expelling internal parasitic worms. Tobacco plant species are considered under the dominion of Mars too. The nicotine they contain is a poisonous substance and can be used as an insecticide. Several species in the Nicotiana genus can be seen growing on Tenerife, including the tree tobacco (N. glauca), which is an invasive weed that grows on waste ground an along roadsides all around the island. As its name suggests it forms a small tree, though is often seen in flower when much smaller than this. It can be grown for its ornamental qualities because it has yellow tubular flowers and large grey-green leaves. The chili pepper (Capsicum frutescens) is often cultivated on Tenerife. Not surprisingly with its bright red pointed fruits and very hot taste it is regarded as a herb of Mars. Chili peppers grow very easily in the warm subtropical climate here on the island and come in many forms though all of them are very hot. Perhaps it is not so surprising that all these plants that are governed by Mars do so well on the island? Go up on Mt Teide’s higher reaches and a lot of it looks like another planet up there!

Red Spurge

mars and astrology

Mars rules Aries the first sign of the zodiac and used to be regarded as the astrological ruler of Scorpio too, though this has been changed to Pluto.

mars is associated with war, aggression, male energy, heat, passion, blood, weapons, action, and sharp tools.

Positive martian character traits include having a pioneering spirit and a love of freedom, being a strong leader and a defender of the weak. Negative traits are having an aggressive and brutal nature, being selfish, foolhardy, quarrelsome, boisterous and rude.

Chili pepper

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.

frankenBurger – World’s first Lab grown Burger THE world’s first test tube burger, costing a whopping £250,000, has been unveiled in London. The 5oz patty, made from “cultured beef” grown in a laboratory, was served up by its creator, Professor Mark Post, in front of journalists in Hammersmith.

The scientist-turned-chef made the most expensive beefburger in history from 20,000 tiny strips of meat grown from cow stem cells over a threemonth period. Few details of the slice of scientific culinary history were released ahead of the tasting. The burger was fried in a pan with sunflower oil and butter before it was sampled by Josh Schonwald, author of The Taste of Tomorrow and Hanni Rützler a food scientist. The billionaire co-founder of Google, Sergey Brin, financed the research, said he was doing it for “animal welfare reasons”. Before Mr Brin was unveiled as the mysterious benefactor, he was described by Professor Post as a household name with a track record of “turning everything into gold”. Professor Post believes his artificial meat - known by the rather unsavoury name “in-vitro meat” – could bring about a food revolution and be on sale in supermarkets within the next 10 to 20 years. It could also help save the planet by cutting the billions of tonnes of greenhouse gases currently released by livestock, and may also be deemed ethically acceptable by vegetarians because it would dramatically reduce the need to slaughter animals. But its success or failure will ultimately depends on what

it tastes like, the texture and price compared to real meat. Up until now, the only outsider known to have eaten the synthetic meat was a Russian reporter who snatched a piece of cultured pork and stuffed it in his mouth during a visit to Professor Post’s lab, before it had been passed as safe to eat. He was reportedly unimpressed by the pork, describing it as “chewy and tasteless”. Professor Post’s team at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands conducted experiments which progressed from mouse meat to pork and finally, the most environmentally destructive meat, beef: “What we are going to attempt is important because I hope it will show cultured beef has the answers to major problems that the world faces,” he said. “Our burger is made from muscle cells taken from a cow. We haven’t altered them in any way. For it to succeed it has to look, feel and hopefully taste like the real thing.” The ingredients don’t sound very appetising - half-millimetre thick strips of pinkish yellow lab-grown tissue, each

the size of a rice grain. But Professor Post is confident he can produce a burger that is almost indistinguishable from one made from prime beef. He points out that livestock farming is becoming unsustainable, with demand for meat rocketing around the world. The industry accounts for nearly 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions - even greater than transport - with 228 million tonnes of meat produced each year. And the environmental problems are only likely to worsen, the UN forecasts that world demand for meat will double by 2050, driven by an increased demand from a growing middle class in China and other developing nations. The burger launched this week cost £250,000 to produce, but the Dutch team are hoping to dramatically slash the cost by industrialising the laborious process. The Food Standards Agency said that before going on sale, synthetic meat would need regulatory approval, with manufacturers needing to prove that all necessary safety tests had been carried out.

mg3 Supermini jensen interceptor

THE fantastic new MG3 supermini will be priced at 12,000 Euros or below right across the range which is an extremely affordable price and not at the expense of specification. The top of the range is the MG3 3STyLE with premium 16” “Diamond” alloy wheel and a sports body styling pack that includes the rear boot spoiler and side sill extensions. Standard high-tech convenience features include cruise control, automatic lights and windscreen wipers and reverse parking sensors.

Sales & Marketing Director Guy Jones said “the MG3 gives the market something really new a stylish, highly practical, small car with many options for personalisation

(1966 - 1976)

THE Jensen Interceptor was one of the biggest and best British GTs ever built. In 1966 it catapulted Jensen into the upper echelons of the supercar manufacturers. The Interceptor was styled by Touring of Milan and, initially, the bodies were built by Vignale in Italy before Jensen switched production to the uK. The standard car’s most distinctive feature was a curved glass hatchback - and its most distinctive sound was the rumble that came from its exhaust tailpipes.

that is fun to drive, fun to buy and fun to own. We can offer this type of product at a price position that no competitor can match. MG became world famous for building distinctive, British, small, fun cars at a remarkably affordable price that owners then personalised to their own individual style. The MG3 is the new small, modern MG that allows a new generation of people to have fun with their MG” All models across the range

benefit from signature front LED lights, electronic hill hold as standard with all but the entry model featuring a high quality DAB audio system. The sporty exterior style conceals an interior that offers one of the largest and most spacious cabins in the supermini class. With six airbags, electronic stability control, corner brake control and traction control, there is the full suite of the latest technology safety equipment standard on all MG3s.

trials start for the toyota Winglet

THE Toyota Winglet is beginning trials on the public pavement. The personal mobility device will go on trial in the city of Tsukuba in Ibaraki Prefecture in Japan, the safety and practicality of the device will be assessed moving among pedestrians. The trials are scheduled to run until the end of March 2016. The Winglet first made its appearance in 2008, the device will be used by eighty local authority workers and employees of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in a part of the city that has been hosting mobility robot test programmes since 2011. The Winglet is a compact, lightweight two-wheeled machine that is ridden in a standing position and manoeuvred using a long, vertical T-bar handle. The handle is adjustable so people of all heights can use the machine. When not in use the Winglet can simply be folded up and carried. The Winglet is powered by a lithium-ion battery and has a range of about six miles (10km) on a full charge. Top speed is approximately 3.5mph (6km/h), and battery charging takes around an hour. Performance is emissions-free, so the Winglet is also suitable for use in some indoor environments, for example in airports or large office complexes. If trials are successful it is envisaged that the Winglet will be used in a variety of ways

The Interceptor Convertible was launched alongside - and despite losing that hatchback, it was still a very stylish machine. It was conceived as a flagship to boost Jensen sales in the USA, and the convertible was mechanically the same as the coupe – the 7212cc Chrysler V8 with TorqueFlite automatic transmission – but changes to the body included strengthening around the sills and the windscreen pillars. But technical star of the range was the Jensen FF. It was the world’s first performance car with permanent four-wheel drive and anti-lock brakes - a proto-Audi quattro, if you like. It was closely related to the Interceptor, but had a longer wheelbase, twin vents in the front wings and a bonnet scoop. FF stood for Ferguson Formula, the tractor company

behind the all-wheel drive system, while the ABS was by Dunlop. For those who thought the standard Interceptor wasn’t quite powerful enough, the 1971 Jensen SP was just what the doctor ordered. ‘SP’ stood for ‘Six-Pack’ and denoted that these Jensen Interceptors sported three twin-barrel Holley carburettors in a ‘six-pack’ configuration. The designation also hinted at a macho and hairy-chested nature, for the SP was the most powerful Jensen ever built. That 7212cc powerhouses peaked at 385bhp, which meant a speed of 150mph. But it faded out in the wake of the 1973 enegy crisis, with the rest of the Interceptors dying out by 1976. Production has continued ever since in fits and starts.

That Puppet Game Show Editor Recommends BBC 1 - 18:45 - 19:30

Hosted by Dougie Colon (pronounced ‘Cologne’), That Puppet Game Show is a glamorous Saturday night programme like no other, combining puppet comedy and madcap games. Each week two top-name celebrity contestants will complete in a series of games invented by a team of puppet experts. The winning celebrity will receive £10,000 for the charity of their choice.

Each of the games has a different theme and is looked after by a different expert: Music with Eddie

Watts, Sport with Jemima Taptackle, Nature with Jake Hamilton-Jones, Science with Dr Strabismus, Showbiz with Amber O’Neill and Mental Agility with The Amazing Ian. But it’s not just the games that make the programme like no other, there is also a glimpse into the backstage world too, where we meet even more puppets who help the experts put the show together, including the producer of That Puppet Game Show, Mancie O’Neill, plus Udders McGhee, the big boss. Celebrities taking part this week are: Jonathan Ross v Katherine Jenkins

BBC 1 - 20:30 - 21:00 Last year, one in six of us were victims of crime, but new BBC One series fightback Britain shows how the great British public are refusing to take this lying down and are helping the police fight back against the criminals.

Presenters Julia Bradbury and Adrian Simpson show how people throughout Britain are making life tough for the bad guys by capturing evidence for the police using the latest cameras, computer software, amateur detective work and sometimes even putting their own lives in danger. In the first episode of this four-part series we meet the lorry drivers who bravely step in to try and

avert disaster when a 30-tonne lorry hurtles down a motorway in the wrong direction, and a gang of weapon-wielding motorbike thieves gets more than it bargained for when a group of shop owners bands together to stop the theft of £50,000-worth of motorcycles. We meet a man whose computer software enabled his stolen laptop to email him pictures of the people it ultimately wound up with as they sat unawares in bed, before being arrested by the police! And Julia and Adrian test the latest anti-theft software for your smart phone. With almost half of all robberies in Britain now involving a mobile phone, it could help you get your own back on the phone snatchers.

England v Scotland ITV 1 - 19:30 - 22:25 International football: England v Scotland

Adrian Chiles introduces live coverage of England v Scotland from Wembley Stadium as international football’s oldest rivals meet for the first time in 14 years. Kicking off at 8pm, the friendly is the latest England match held at Wembley as part of the FA’s 150th anniversary celebrations. It also marks England’s last friendly before World Cup qualifiers resume with a game against Moldova at the stadium on September 6. Last time the teams met in November 1999,

Scotland won 1-0 at Wembley with a goal from Don Hutchison, but that wasn’t enough to stop England qualifying for the Euro 2000 finals. Previous memorable encounters include a 2-0 victory for England during Euro ‘96 in which Gazza scored a famous solo goal and Scotland’s 2-1 win in 1977, after which the Wembley goalposts were torn down by fans. This time Roy Hodgson’s men play for the first time since drawing 2-2 with Brazil in Rio de Janeiro in June, while Gordon Strachan’s side will use the friendly as preparation for their own World Cup qualifier at home to Belgium in September.

SKy Sports is launching its biggest summer of live sporting action with a public vote on the biggest and best decisions in sport. A panel of experts has selected the 50 most significant decisions in history and now the fans are being asked to choose the best game-changing decision from the shortlist.

To vote, just visit www.skysports.com/decisions where the full shortlist and details of the decisions can be found. The vote closes on August 14. The experts selected decisions that have changed the course of a match, a career or even an entire sport. Spanning over 100 years and 14 sports, the list contains some of the biggest names in sport - and some less-known stories, too. Former Liverpool and England defender, now Sky Sports analyst, Jamie Carragher chose Barcelona’s decision to take a risk on a young Lionel Messi, now hailed as one of the world’s greatest players.

Welsh international rugby league and rugby union player Scott Quinnell chose Ian McGeechan’s decision to choose six rugby league players for the victorious Lions Tour of South Africa in 1997. Also featured is Welsh rugby hero Gareth Edwards’ decision to pursue a career in rugby and turn down an offer to join Swansea City Football Club. And there is tennis hero Andy Murray’s game-changing decision to appoint Ivan Lendl as his coach in late 2011 leading to his Olympic gold and Wimbledon titles. For darts there is Eric Bristow’s decision to sponsor a young player called Phil Taylor and launch a career that has seen “The Power” win numerous titles. Dr David Fletcher, senior lecturer in performance psychology at Loughborough University, said the difference between a good athlete and a great athlete, or a good coach and a great coach can be about the ability to make both split

gascoigne fined for Station incident

PAuL Gascoigne pleaded guilty to charges of common assault and being drunk and disorderly after an incident in July at Stevenage railway station. The former newcastle and Tottenham midfielder appeared before magistrates in the Hertfordshire town, who fined him £1,245 plus costs.

Gascoigne, 46, was arrested when police were called to the station at around 10.30pm. It is understood that Jack Sherrington,

Facebook.com/TenerifeWeekly

a member of rail security staff, was assaulted as he tried to get Gascoigne to sit in a wheelchair because he was drunk and unstable. The court heard that Gascoigne had been in Newcastle visiting his ill father, who has a heart condition, at the time. He had been travelling from Newcastle to London but got off at Stevenage. Ms McMillan, prosecuting, said Gascoigne grabbed hold of Mr Sherrington in the neck area - an assault which lasted a few seconds. Mr Sherrington was uninjured in the incident. Gascoigne, holding a pack of cigarettes and wearing a dark suit, pale blue shirt,

beige loafers with no socks and sunglasses, was greeted outside Stevenage Magistrates’ Court by hordes of media. His lawyer Gavin Harris said he only consumed a small amount of alcohol due to a “combination of stress caused by worry for his father and acute pain from a hip operation six weeks previously”. He stated that because Gascoigne had not drunk alcohol for a significant period of time, the effects were stronger than would have otherwise been the case. The court also heard that Gascoigne’s ex-wife and children were called to the sta-

Barney Francis, managing director of Sky Sports, said: “Every sports fan will have his or her own opinion about the best sporting decisions. To kick things off, our experts have used all their knowl-

tion and in her sentencing, chair of the bench Carolyn Marsh pointed out that his 17-year-old son was “distressed”. Gascoigne, who received treatment for alco-

edge and experience to come up with a great shortlist. I hope that sports fans everywhere will join in the debate and vote for what they think is the best ever decision in sport.”

holism in an American clinic earlier this year, was originally charged with two counts of assault, one involving his ex-wife Sheryl, but that charge was later dropped.

Speaking outside court, Mr Harris said his client would like to “publicly apologise for his actions” but asked for privacy so he can continue with his recovery.

CoVentrY fC faCe LiQuidation

COVEnTRy City football Club have been deducted 10 points after creditors rejected a deal to ease their debts. The club now faces liquidation and representatives are planning an urgent meeting with the football League. The situation has been triggered by a failure of the club’s owners and the owners of the stadium to reach a deal over a 10-year lease.

The Football League has allowed the Sky Blues to start their league campaign, there is no suggestion yet that Coventry will not be able to fulfil their fixtures in League

One. A Football League Statement read: “The League has transferred the club’s share to the administrator’s preferred bidder Otium Entertainment Group. This comes after an application under the ‘exceptional circumstances’ provision of the League’s Insolvency Policy and on the acceptance of a 10-point deduction for this season.” It continued: “The application comes under the ‘exceptional circumstances’ provision of The Football League’s Insolvency Policy and the acceptance of the 10-point deduction allows Coventry City to start the League One season despite the failure of its CVA. This enables Coventry City to continue its membership of The Football League and participate in the 2013-14 season.”

16,500 Cyclists Mourinho Keeps The Take Over London Faith For J More than 16,500 cyclists took to the roads around London and Surrey as part of the Prudential RideLondon weekend, billed as the UK’s largest festival of cycling. The weekend featured four separate events designed to appeal to riders of all ages and abilities in the mass participation event.

The capital’s motorists remained unimpressed however, with many taking to Facebook and Twitter to express their anger at the event’s planning. Hundreds of roads were due to be closed across the capital for at least 12 hours angering thousands of motorists who were forced to make extensive detours or abandon their plans to travel altogether. London mayor Boris Johnson was among thousands that took part in a 100-mile road race which started at the Olympic Park and headed out to Forest Green in Surrey before returning to the centre through southwest London. There was disappointment for Olympic gold medal winning cyclist Joanna Rowsell who said she was “gutted” after breaking her collar bone during one of the races. Rowsell, who won gold in the team pursuit during last year’s Games, was competing in the women’s criterium race in and around St James’s Park on Saturday night when she was involved in a pile-up. Writing on Twitter, she said: “Well this is far from ideal. In hospital with a broken collar bone. Thank you for all the messages. I will bounce back!” She added: “Absolutely gutted to be missing the @RideLondon 100 today for @actionmedres. Massive good luck to everyone riding. Will be an amazing day.” The Grand Prix event, which saw competitors race a circuit in and around the central London park, was won by Rowsell’s teammate Laura Trott, who said afterwards: “This feels like my event, so I felt I had to win. I’m so glad I did.” The Grand Prix also saw a contest between the world’s best junior cyclists while the capital’s Paralympic legacy was celebrated with a handcycle race. Rugby World Cup winner Matt Dawson, two-time Olympic rowing champion James Cracknell, former Olympic champion sprint hurdler Sally Gunnell

Torres

ose Mourinho has given his strongest indication yet that he is ready to keep faith with Fernando Torres and make sure the Spanish striker remains at Stamford Bridge.

The 29-year-old has not been his usual self since arriving from Liverpool for £50 million in January 2011 and with the pursuit of Wayne Rooney still alive, Torres’s future continues to look uncertain. Valencia are keen to bring him back to Spain but with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich unwilling to take a huge financial hit, Mourinho is determined to help the striker try to recapture the form which brought him 81 goals in 142 appearances on Merseyside. Mourinho though, believes

and actor Gary Kemp were among the famous faces taking part. The event finished on The Mall shortly before 150 professional cyclists race in the inaugural Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic on a similar route. Organisers hoped the two-day festival would boost the number of active cyclists in the UK, attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to London and Surrey, and raise large amounts of money for charity. Although the event was billed in advance, both in local media and on display signs, many motorists felt that not enough was done to help residents and road users avoid the problems that arose from the closures. Hilary Irving was among those who wrote on the LBC Facebook page: “Two Sundays in a row the people of Wapping have been cut off and unable to drive out. Not

great planning.” Silvia Denecke McGrath wrote: “Not a thought for all the people who have to work in essential services like hospitals! I have to commute in somehow from Bucks with most of the roads in London shut the entire weekend! Can’t even use the Tube as I start work so early, never mind that the metropolitan have no services this weekend. But no, the whole of London has to come to a standstill for a bunch of cyclists who don’t pay road tax.” Luke Bosdet, a spokesman for the AA, said: “You can’t fault the organisers over whether there was plenty of notice given, but you are always going to get teething problems. It was the first event and there will be people feeding back into whether the event was too disruptive, that they will have to take on board.”

he will be able to reawaken the Spaniard: “I don’t know if it’s confidence” he said. “I feel the guy is highly motivated, he works very hard. I think some of the work we do with the team in terms of attack suits his qualities. So let’s see what happens. we are here to support him. “Usually when he is clear, he scores that goal – but he’s missed. We know that this is Torres’ game. We want the team not to learn how to play with him, but to improve how to play with him. He is working very hard in training, we are happy with him. Will I try to re-model his game? Not his game, his game is impossible to remodel. But we want to adapt the team and teach the team how to use his best qualities because his game is his game. He is what he is and he is very good with the qualities that he’s got. So we need to learn and support his game.”

Kevin Pietersen Denies Using Tape Kevin Pietersen has angrily denied using silicon tape on his bat to prevent Hot Spot detecting contact with the ball.

A report in Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald alleged both England and Australia are under investigation by the International Cricket Council following several controversial DRS decisions during the ongoing Ashes series. That suggestion has since been emphatically denied by the ICC, but in the meantime the newspaper referenced the incident that saw Pietersen given out caught behind during the recent drawn Old Trafford Test. The Hot Spot technology, which uses an infrared camera to detect friction caused by bat on ball, failed to show an edge but television picked up a sound as the ball passed the bat and Pietersen was ordered to walk. Pietersen reacted to the report on his Twitter page, writing: “Horrible journalism yet again! My name brought up in Hot Spot crisis suggesting I use silicon to prevent nicks showing! Such hurtful lies.

the SportS SCene By Colin Kirby

THE waves were bigger, the winds stronger, and the on board acrobatics more spectacular than ever as El Medano was wowed by the PWA Windsurf World Cup. Philip Koster of Germany and Daida Ruano of Gran Canaria led all the way to take the two big titles but there was plenty of thrilling action along the way. Jochen Stolz

el medano Blown away By Windsurf magicians filling third and fourth spot. Philip Koster continues to amaze the windsurfing community, at 19 years old he is World Champion and flying in this years chase and just gets better all the time. Fittingly he produced the best move of the week in the final, a one handed one footed backloop for the judges highest score of the competition. Speak-

ing after his final triumph over Victor Fernandez he was modest about his decisive move. “I saw Victor’s big double and with it being the final I knew I had to go big, especially as Victor was sailing so well. I wanted to go for a pushloop forward but I couldn’t find the right ramp for it but I was really happy with my stalled forward, I went higher than

I was expecting and I’m really stoked to win the event.” All the riders made a big impression and El Cabezo beach lived up to it’s reputation as one of the best on the world circuit. The PWA World Tour will be back again next year but there will be plenty of local hopefuls practicing with renewed inspiration after this masterclass.

Ricardo Campello

I popped in on Wednesday and rounded the corner to be blasted by the strongest winds of the week, up to 42 knots at one stage. The waves were crashing in and the spray was lapping over the headland just behind the main spectators area. Wading the boards into the sea and getting out to a reasonable distance was a struggle in itself but these riders are made of stern stuff. There was an early casualty as Moroccan Boujmaa Guilloul landed awkwardly from a tweaked tabletop for-

ward (even the moves names sound dangerous) and limped out with a suspected broken foot. The final five men and women had to fight all the way to progress through to the ultimate double elimination stage. Brit Adam Lewis told Tenerife Weekly last week he was aiming for a top 10 placing and he got there in style and was particularly satisfied with his Wednesday showing. “I did the best wave of the day with a frontside 360 degree. The conditions have been amazing this week, the

wind backed off a little and the waves died on Monday but it was back with a vengeance today.” Venezuelan Richard Campello edged ahead of Adam giving him a final placing of 9th. Podium places in the mens competition went to Victor Fernandez (2nd) and Alex Mussolini of Spain with Ricardo Campello of Venezuela making a late charge for glory. In thee ladies event winner Daida was followed by her sister Iballa in second place with Karin Jaggi of Switzerland and Steffi Wahl of Germany

More Wins, More Cups, CD Tenerife On Track For The New Season

CD Tenerife are ready for the league but is the league ready for CD Tenerife? With just over a week until the start of the Segunda fixtures there are still financial doubts over Tenerife’s first two opponents Alcorcon (away 18th ) and Hercules (home 25th). One or both teams could still be relegated and replaced by other teams, maybe Tenerife will have to turn up at the airport on the morning of that first game and wait for a phone call to decide their destination.

Local Derbies Galore For CD Marino

All that is beyond the control of the players, they have continued to roll over their opponents in the pre season friendlies. The latest victory was a 0-3 win against Ibarra at El Fraile on Wednesday night. Highlights of the polished performance were the impressive goalkeeping of third choice stopper Nauzet, the return from injury of Raul Camara and continued good form of new boys Oscar Rico and Kike Rivero. Cristo Martin opened the scoring after three minutes, Kike Rivero hit a great second goal just before the break, and Suso hustled his way onto a cross from Ayoze to seal the win a few minutes into the restart. The Heliodoro cleaner wants a pay rise, she has so many trophies to polish now, the latest was the Copa Emmasa after an impressive 2-1 home win over Primera Division Osasuna last Saturday in Santa Cruz. Coach Alvaro Cervera had plenty of plus points to enjoy, back up goalie Roberto had a great game with safe handling and some outstanding saves, in particular a double close range block at the end of the first half. Tenerife have plenty of wide options, Sandro looked at home on the left and Chechu had another cracking game down the right. Former Tenerife captain Marc Bertran was constantly barracked by the 4,285 crowd, a poor personal season during the last relegation and a hasty exit wasn’t about to be forgiven by the supporters. Bertran must have had a lit-

tle snigger of pleasure when his perfect cross allowed Aeriel to give the visitors an 11th minute lead. There’s a good spirit in this seasons Tenerife squad and they worked hard to level after 19 minutes, Chechu made a great burst down the right mesmerizing a couple of defenders before unloading a great shot that had the keeper well beaten. Five changes saw our home heroes start the second half with eight players born in Tenerife including a debut for young Amorin in midfield. Ayoze Perez was showing off his pace

Granadilla, San Isidro, Ibarra, and late replacement La Laguna are some of the Tenerife destinations on the route map for CD Marino in the coming season. Financial problems at several

The club has a good pool of local talent to pick from plus some returning favourites like Balduino and Alberto but they’ve also cast their net wide to recruit some new blood. Murci (David Murciego Fernandez) a 27-year-old striker has plenty of experience at Segunda B level with clubs like Cultural Leonesa. Midfielder Aaron de Witte is a big strong 18 year old previously on the books of Belgium first division side Speler Ven KV Kortrijk and Richard Jimenez will be a versatile addition playing in the heart of defence or midfield. Richard has played for Lanzarote, Correlejo in Fuerteventura and in Austria before ending last season at Malta Premier League champions Birkirkara. A good way to ensure an inexpensive season of football is to buy a season ticket for CD Marino, the basic adult

rate is 100 euros (just under 6 euros a game) with a 10 euro discount for pensioners and official fan club members – the Marinistas are ready to welcome all nationalities at CD Marino Marinista Fan Club on Facebook.

Luke Sikma is the first fresh face to join, the 24 year old pivot was born in Washington and as well as playing in the American leagues he knows his around Spanish courts after a spell with Autocid Burgos and then across the water at La Palma. Sikma has a good pedigree; his father Jack was an All Star selection who enjoyed a glittering career with Seattle. Key players from last year’s strong roster are also being signed on to

clubs delayed the Tercera fixtures but the Las Americas club now knows they open with a short trip to Las Zocas on 25th August followed by a home clash with El Cotillo on 1st September.

and skills up front and played a key part in giving new signing Oscar Rico his own magic moment as he conjured up a brilliant individual goal that shaved the post on the way in. The defence looked strong again, even when it was shuffled to swap Moyano to left back with Bruno taking his right back slot and Alberto filling the central role. This Saturday there’s more silverware up for grabs in the Teide Trophy at La Orotava at 8pm against replacement opposition Rayo Vallecano, another Primera team.

tacy Lewis has had a soft spot for St Andrews since the summer of 2008 when she claimed five points out of five in America’s victory over Great Britain & Ireland in the Curtis Cup over the Old Course. Her haul remains a record in that biennial contest; she superseded that spectacular achievement when she closed with a level par 72 on the same course to claim a two shot victory over Korea’s na yeon Choi and Hee young Park at the 2013 Ricoh Women’s British Open Championship.

Lewis is the first American to win the Ricoh Women’s British Open since Sherri Steinhauer in 2006 and ended a run that had seen Asian players Jiyai Shin (2011 and 2012) and Yani Tseng (2010) claim the title in the last three years. The American’s win ended ten consecutive Asian victories in the women’s Majors which had started after Lewis herself won her first Major at the Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2011 up until last month when Inbee Park claimed her third Major title of the season at the US Women’s Open. Lewis came to St Andrews having failed to claim a top-25 finish at any of the season’s previous three Major Championships but the World No. 2 quickly got into her stride with an opening five under par 67 and then added rounds of 72 and 69 to go into the final round on eight under par 208 and just a single shot behind compatriot Morgan Pressel. Her success as a professional golfer is all the more meritorious because for seven years, from the age of 11, she had to wear a back brace 18 hours a day to correct a curvature in her spine caused by scoliosis. During high school she underwent surgery to insert a rod and five screws into her back which still troubles her from time to time.
