Warnings repeated after three Brawl on soccer pitch more drownings in Canaries shocks fair play

OLICE are investigating the death of a woman who appears to have drowned in Lanzarote.

At the time of going to press, there had been no formal identification of the body and forensic experts were taking finger-prints to ascertain her identity. It is believed the woman was aged between 30 and 40 and was of European nationality, possibly Nordic. The tragedy happened in Puerto del Carmen, a very popular beach resort which is always full of tourists. However, on this occasion, the area was more deserted because the body was spotted at 4.45am in the morning and there were few witnesses to what might have happened. Initial reports suggest the woman was seen on the beach with a man who walked away when she went into the sea. There was apparently no argument or discussion between the two of them. The emergency services said they were called in when passersby spotted the woman’s body floating in the water and pulled her out before they arrived. After making a call to the 112 control centre, a doctor on duty told the members of the public how to perform resuscitation techniques because the woman was already in cardiac arrest. Medics continued this when they arrived at the beach but were unable to revive the victim and could only confirm her death. According to the police, the woman showed no signs of any violence. Her death was confirmed as drowning. Meantime, a young girl was rescued after she nearly drowned in a swimming pool in an hotel in Playa de las Americas. This incident happened in the middle of the afternoon. The fiveyear-old was pulled from the water and was unconscious and in a very serious condition. She was stabilised at the scene before being rushed to hospital. No further details were given and no update on her condition has been released. These two incidents follow on from the drowning of two British men in separate tragedies in the Canaries (see inside for full stories).

campaigners

Safety experts have once again urged people to take very special care when near the sea as both of these deaths involved the men being swept into the ocean by large waves. They reiterate that the currents of the Canaries can be very deceiving, as can the strength of the waves even if the conditions appear calm.

HE sporting world in Tenerife has been shocked by a violent incident during a grassroots football game.

Most municipalities on the island have “fair play in sport” policies so the unsavour y confrontation in La Victoria in the north has been widely condemned. Video footage of an umpire being physically and verbally abused appeared in the national press and has dented all the efforts of the island so far in promoting fair sport without any violence. The 112 emergency service confirmed they received a call for help saying a man had been injured on a pitch during a soccer match. The incident happened at 2pm on Sunday and brought

the Civil Guard and medics to the scene. “We were told that a group of people had been involved in a brawl on a football field,” said a 112 spokesman. On their arrival, it was confirmed that the man who had been injured was one of the officials, aged 37. He was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital suffering from a chest trauma. This was described as “non serious, moderate”. It is understood several people were involved in the brawl which broke out following one of the decisions.

TENERIFE STARS IN EUROPEAN TRAVEL PROGRAMMES

ENERIFE has been the star of television broadcasts in several European countries. Channels in the Czech Republic, Belgium and Denmark have been showcasing the island’s main tourist attractions to more than three million viewers.

“The image of the island in these countries will be reinforced by these programmes, which in turn will help potential travellers to travel to Tenerife for their next vacation,” says tourism councillor Alberto Bernabé. Danish Channel Channel DK4 was on the island in March to record three 45-minute shows. A Czech team was here in February for a travel documentary On The Road for channel CT2, taking in locations such

as Loro Parque, the Pyramids of Guimar and Santa Cruz. As for Belgium, the television programme Bartel Goes Wild also opted for Tenerife to record one of its shows, each of which has an audience of more than 400,000 spectators. Another Belgian programme will soon select the island for one of its broadcasts. The RTBF, the country’s French-speaking national television, will record Tenerife’s Le Jardin Extraordinaire in May, a successful and long-running programme on nature and animals that has an audience of half a million viewers.

“CALENDAR EFFECT”

Puerto tourism figures still up as Brits flock to the tourist resort

OURIST establishments in Puerto de la Cruz have closed the first quarter of the year with 2.8 per cent more customers than in the same period of the previous year, according to statistics from Tenerife Cabildo. In total, the municipality accommodated 202,104 tourists, with an increase in tourism lodged in hotels (+ 4.1%), but with a decrease in the number of clients who chose extra-hotel establishments (-1.2%). The president of the Cabildo, Carlos Alonso, points out that Puerto de la Cruz “has managed to resist” the thrust of the so-called ‘calendar effect’ of Holy Week, which in 2017 was celebrated entirely in April, while last year it fell in the month of March. At island-level, this caused an artificial drop. “The evolution of tourism in the municipality has been positive in the first three months of the year, with an increase in international tourism of up to two digits in some important markets such as the British,” said Sr. Alonso. Puerto de la Cruz registered in the period 1,636,131 overnight stays, 0.2 per cent less than in the previous year. Of these, 1,181,180 were made in hotel establishments, which increased by 0.2 per cent, while in non-hotel establishments a total of 454,951 overnight stays were recorded, 1.2 per cent less than in the first quarter of 2016. The tourists staying in Puerto de la Cruz stayed an average of 8.10 days, so the length of stay is reduced by 0.24 points compared to the first three months of last year. The average occupancy rate of residential establishments in the area was 76.4 per cent, 1.7 percent less than in the same period of the previous year. Hotel occupancy stood at 80.3 percent (-2.3%) and in non-hotel establishments was 67.8 percent (-0.6%).

Issuing markets

The Spanish market, the main emitter of tourists to Puerto de la Cruz with a share of 31.4 per cent, declined by 3.2 percent “precisely because it is the market that most affects this ‘calendar effect’” said the island’s tourism adviser, Alberto Bernabé. For its part, international tourism increased its influx by 5.8 per cent in Puerto de la Cruz, reaching 138,738 housed. Of the main foreign issuers, tourism from the United Kingdom, which accounts for a share of 12.4 per cent in the global market, increased by 27.4 per cent in the period to 20,031 British tourists staying in the tourist establishments of the municipality. Germans, on the other hand, fell by 8.2 per cent to 59,292. The statistics show good results from other issuers such as France (+15.3%), Denmark (+27.5%); Italy (+8.7%), Austria (+19%), Russia (+20%), Norway (+41.8%) and the Netherlands (+43.8%). Other countries such as Finland (-2.2%) and Ireland (-4%) fell.

European first as Loro Parque wins prestigious standard

ORO Parque continues to reap success as a benchmark of zoological entities in the world.

For the first time in the histor y of the Park, the prestigious American Humane mark certifies the positive welfare situation of all the animals of Loro Parque, becoming the first zoo in Europe to achieve this standard. The ceremony was held

after a press conference attended by the president of Loro Parque and Siam Park, Wolfgang Kiessling; the executive director of American Humane, Dr. Robin Ganzert; the Director General of Planning and Tourism Promotion of the Government of the Canary

Private detectives to mingle with guests over food poisoning scam?

RITISH tour operators are said to be preparing to employ undercover detectives in a bid to halt false food poisoning claims which are costing the Spanish hotel industry millions of pounds.

Jet2, Thomas Cook and TUI are reported to be hiring private eyes to spy in hotels on any Brit holidaymakers tempted to lie about falling ill whilst enjoying their breaks in the sun. The scam is affecting all parts of Spain, including Tenerife and other parts of the Canary Islands. According to preferente.com, Jet2 has been one of the first to make the decision to opt for detectives to settle the problem of false allegations. This initiative has also been joined by Thomas Cook and TUI as they try to help hoteliers save on costly pay-outs. ABTA has already condemned the fraudulent practice which has been sweeping all parts of Spain and is set to get worse this summer, hoteliers fear.

Some Brits are being paid out as much as 5,000 pounds a time because the hotels settle up without going to court because of the time it takes and the fear of having even more expenses to meet. The British Government is understood to be preparing measures which would include fining any British holidaymaker who puts in a false claim, alleging they contracted food poisoning during a stay in a Spanish hotel. The move is due to be announced shortly. The claims are being led by so-called British “law firms” who are exploiting legal loopholes and are touring hotspots in vans or sending representatives to stop tourists outside their hotels or even approach them on the beaches. Some hotels, including ones in the Canary Islands, are considering asking guests to sign disclaimer forms at the end of their stay to confirm they did NOT get food poisoning during their stay. Many others have stepped up checks and vigilance. The Spanish Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodation (Cehat) is pressurising the government of the United Kingdom to take action.

Islands, Candelaria Umpiérrez; the CEO of Tourism of the Cabildo, Vicente Dorta; and the Mayor of Puerto de la Cruz, Lope Afonso, who gave a good account of the success achieved by the best zoo in Europe and second in the world, according to TripAdvisor. American Humane’s executive director opened the press conference saying that “today is a very special day, since we recognise the incredible work of the staff and the management team of Loro Parque; I would like to congratulate Loro Parque for the commendable achievement of being the first institution in Europe to achieve the prestigious Humane Certified seal of approval of the American Humane Conservation programme. “ In addition, he stressed that “this certificate to Loro Parque demonstrates their dedication to the highest standards of animal welfare, and this confirms to any visitor to this majestic Park that the animals that live here are loved and have the best care.” The president of Loro Parque began his speech

AMERICAN HUMANE reinforcing the company’s commitment to the defence of animal welfare thanks to modern zoos and its role in front of the wear and tear of the hand of man in a world that already exceeds 7.5 billion people “ . In this sense, he emphasised the commitment of Loro Parque Foundation and all the caretakers, veterinarians and staff of Loro Parque in the i r d e d i c a t i o n t o t h e animals, and thanked the recognition given as an example of responsible care. The Cabildo representative and his counterpart agreed to point out that this is “an acknowledgment that once again puts into value the work that Loro Parque does as a protector of animals and nature, in addition to enhanci n g t h e r e s e a r c h w o r k carried out by the Foundation “. Finally, the mayor of Puerto de la Cruz, who was delighted with the recognition, identified Loro Parque as a key enclave for the municipality: “The successes of the company of Wolfgang Kiessling are the successes of our municipality.”

Arona Council backs two pilot projects

RONA council is supporting two pilot projects aimed at promoting and boosting youth employment.

Sandra Rodriguez. She said the aim was to keep the closure down to the minimal time and therefore to avoid disappointment for users. The work will include extensive cleaning and treatment, including the rocks and decorative stones, painting and machinery checking. The gardens will also be improved by pruning tall trees and palm trees, cutting lawns in general, cleaning planters and flower beds, as well as arranging, cutting and cleaning the entire perimeter of the lake which is planted with cacti etc. The reopening date will be announced in the days prior to the completion of the works.

The authority has teamed up with the Rayuela Association and the Don Bosco Foundation to offer free advice, training and job placement throughout the year at the Young Centre (Centro Joven) in Los Cristianos. The two experimental employment projects seek to help young people to find their first job or to have better job options. Both strategies are aimed at those under 35. A meeting was held prior to the start of these projects, which was attended by councillor for youth and human resources, Yolanda Mendoza; career counsellor of the Rayuela Association, Verónica Pereyra, and officers of the Don Bosco Foundation, Susana Pesce and Yaiza Quintero. Arona council says these initiatives do not entail any cost to the municipal administration, except the transfer of

space in the Youth Centre, but “will allow us to offer personalised attention to our young people in the sometimes difficult task of facing the labour market and finding a job. “ We are committed to collaborate in everything that represents a social benefit for the citizens of Arona, to provide services effectively and improve the quality of life of, above all, for the most vulnerable people,” said a spokesman. Both projects will run until December 31st at the Young Centre in Los Cristianos, with appointments on Mondays and Tuesdays from 8am to 3pm. The Don Bosco Project Foundation is a non-profit organisation of the Catholic Church whilst the Rayuela Association has been carrying out various employment and training activities in Arona.

Child trapped in Huge wave sweeps British man into ATM machine!

RESUSCITATION FAILS

sea in latest drowning tragedy

30-year-old British man drowned in Tenerife after being swept away by a huge wave.

It is understood the man, who has not yet been named, was walking on rocks near a cave when the tragedy happened. The weather on the island was good at the time but strong winds meant the sea was choppy with big waves and strong currents. The accident took place at the popular holiday resort of Santiago del Teide, near Los Gigantes where giant cliffs are a major attraction. It comes only a few weeks after two other people were drowned in the ocean a few hundred metres away. Then, a 60-year-old Spanish woman was swept into the sea by a wave and a 35-year-old man, a Spaniard who lived locally, dived into the water to try and save her. Both lost their lives. A third man was able to swim to safety. The latest death happened just after 6.30pm along the coast of Santiago del Teide. The 112 emergency centre for the Canaries confirmed that a call was received reporting that a man had been swept into the sea by a strong wave. Rescuers rushed to the scene, including the police, Civil Guard, medics, Maritime Rescue and the emergency helicopter. The crew of the helicopter eventually spotted the British man floating in the water and were able to get down to him and hoist him up. The aircraft then headed for the local football field at Puerto Santiago, a short flight during which the victim was given

heart massage because he was in cardiac arrest. “On the ground, the team was joined by a doctor and a nurse from a local health clinic and efforts to revive the man continued,” said a 112 spokesman. “However, there were no results and the man was declared dead at the scene.” The tragedy happened in the Las Bajas area, near the Barceló Santiago hotel. It is being reported that the man was walking around the mouth of a cave known as El Tancón when he was hit by a wave. Just half an hour earlier, another man had been rescued a few hundred metres away when he fell into a rocky area of the coast and could not get out. He was rescued by the emergency helicopter which picked up the man and took him to the car park of a local hotel.

A crew from San Miguel de Abona was called out to release the youngster which happened in the Cabo Blanco area of Arona. The child’s distraught mother called the emergency services because of the unusual predicament of her 18-month-old toddler. It wasn’t specified how the incident happened but it was at a branch on the TF657 road. The firemen removed the lock cyclinder from the door and released the child.

Arona celebrates double beach awards

Granadilla wins changes to bus services

RANADILLA de Abona council has reached an agreement over public transport routes with the Cabildo.

CABILDO THANKED

La Orotava welcomes new schemes, including bus station refurb

A Orotava is to see a number of new schemes either started or in the pipeline this year, including work on the local bus station.

The local council will also act in the conditioning of several roads as in sections of the TF-21. The Mayor of La Orotava, Francisco Linares, held a working meeting with the island directors of promotions and roads of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Miguel Becerra and Ofelia Majón, respectively. The meeting also included

the councillors of works and infrastructure, Felipe David Benítez and Narciso Pérez, respectively, as well as the spokesman for the government group, Juan Doniz. Details of the refurbishment project for the bus station were discussed, which, among other actions, contemplates the rehabilitation of all sidewalks, the removal of architectural

barriers and the installation of new furniture. The objective is to give this space a renewed image and make the stay of the thousands of people who use this facility every day more pleasant. The work is expected to take place throughout this year, with the insular institution investing

about 65,000 euros. Various road improvements were also detailed, actions which were appreciated by La Orotava council to help with traffic safety and circulation. Other smaller items were discussed, such as conditioning of the parking lot of the Humboldt viewpoint or the installation of traffic lights in the access to the Manuel de Falla School. Sr. Linares said they appreciated the predisposition of the Cabildo to meet the main demands of citizens, not only in the municipality of La Orotava but the rest of the island. To the projects executed and to those that are underway must be added others such as the third phase of TF-21, which will mean continuing to improve this important route as it passes through the urban centres of Barroso and Colombo. The Cabildo is already working on the award of the drafting of this important project that will involve an investment of more than three million euros.

Elderly woman rescued from flat

N 83-year-old woman needed hospital treatment for smoke inhalation following a fire in an apartment in Avenida Juan Carlos I, Arona.

The emergency happened at 4am in the morning and involved the rescue of the elderly lady from inside her home. National and local police attended, together with medics and fire crews.

Man dies after car hits wall

The fatal accident happened on the TF-657 road in Arona just before 11pm on May 8th. Police, the Civil Guard and medics all rushed to the scene and transferred the man, who was in a serious condition, to hospital. He died shortly afterwards. No details have been released about his age or identity.

Experts help police arrest graffiti artists for vandalism across Tenerife

OLICE in Santa Cruz have identified and punished the authors of numerous graffiti attacks in the capital.

Eight prosecutions were made during April, thanks to the ongoing work of the service of Protection of the Urban Environment (Proteu). This police work has been reinforced by the work of the graphic team hired by the Santa Cruz City Council, which, based on detailed technical reports, has been able to attribute the graffiti to specific individuals. One 17 year old was responsible for more than 200 peices of graffiti in the capital. Local police have focused on tracking graffiti known as “tags” or signatures with which many of the offenders have marked infrastructure, street furniture, public and private properties, as well as elements of the city’s cultural heritage. These vandal acts carried out by DIFA, RIOK, SAKER, DASCO, FOUNDATION, SOK, ASK or TONK have been investigated by the agents who have completed a detailed photographic report on which the experts have further investigated. Graphologists were also called in to study strokes, typography and patterns of the graffiti, together with the analysis of social networks and videos. “This enabled police to determine the authorship of the attacks in a scientific way,” said a council spokesman. “In addition, at the moment new files have already been initiated in order to be able to punish other offenders for the same actions.” First deputy Mayor and councillor for security, Zaida González, expressed his satisfaction because “we are working hard and well to punish this type of vandalism that, in addition to spoiling our

city, is an important expense for administrations and residents.” Sr. Gonzalez congratulated those involved “for the good results we are getting in the fight against vandalism, in this case, thanks to the agents of Proteu and with the support of graphic experts”, adding: “We are not going to rest so that whoever spoils Santa Cruz will end up paying one way or another”. Councillor for public services, Dámaso Arteaga said the next step was to act through the courts against anyone who violated municipal ordinances and spoilt the cultural heritage of Santa Cruz with “this type of uncivil behaviour”. The most striking case has been the one that has as its protagonist a young man of 17 years who used signs like RIOK and believed to be responsible for nearly 200 graffiti attacks in Santa Cruz. As a result of the investigation, graffiti has been found all over the island of Gran Canaria, in the subway of the city of Barcelona, La Laguna and Santa Cruz de Tenerife. In the municipality, graffiti has affected places like the Plaza de Europa, calles Castillo, San Juan Bautista, Doctor Allart, avenidas Ángel Guimerá, Islas Canarias and Ramblas de Santa Cruz among others. Another of those caught and punished is a young man of 18 years whose signature is Fundamento. Graffiti was also carried out by someone using the code SOK and even posted videos on the social network showing him carrying out attacks all over the island. One of the most recent cases has been the sanction of a 15year-old minor, who signed as ASK and who began his “career” in La Laguna, where he was caught by police.

German travel agents visit Tenerife to encourage third biggest market

MASSIVE INCOME

ENERIFE has been hosting a group of 14 travel agents from RTK, the main German network of travel agencies which last year held its annual convention in the island. Tourism of Tenerife organised the visit with the objective of deepening the knowledge of the tourist offer of the island. Insular councillor for tourism, Alberto Bernabé, stressed the importance of these familiarisation trips “which allow not only professionals to know first-hand the possibilities of Tenerife as a

tourist destination but, as a result of this experience, have the necessar y arguments to then recommend the destination to their customers. “ Travel agents had the opportunity to enjoy various activities such as visiting the National Park of Teide, the Pyramids of Guimar, Siam Park and a whales and dolphin

trip. They also participated in a wine tasting and were able to tr y some of the most emblematic dishes of the cuisine of Tenerife. These professionals participated in an active sale of the destination for the summer during the months of November and December and the travel agents who sold the most Tenerife destination were the ones who visited the island with the collaboration of Norwegian and Condor and the hotels Hard Rock and Mencey. RTK brings together some 4,000 travel agencies which, together, achieve a turnover of

more than 3,000 million euros. In addition to the RTK agencies, the network includes FTI tour operators, Neckermann Reise, Mein Reise Bureau and TUI Travel Star. The Germans are the third market in importance for Tenerife, with 656,289 visitors in 2016. Its market share is 11.7% of the total of almost 5.5 million tourists who arrived on the island last year, behind only the British (with 36.6%), and Spanish (with a 20.9%). In terms of income generated for the island, German tourism bring to Tenerife an income of around 509.7 million euros.

Man arrested for plundering vending machines

30-year-old man has been arrested by police for robbing vending machines of food and drink on at least 21 occasions.

He is believed to be responsible for a spate of incidents in La Laguna, including at the university and health centres, and also in Santa Cruz. Police said he stole food and drink, causing damage to the machines in the process. The break-ins had been happening since January.

Tenerife leads the way in air passenger arrivals amid summer optimism

“POSITIVE” OUTLOOK

OURISM chiefs are voicing optimism for Tenerife this summer after the island led the way in the archipelago for air passenger arrivals.

The island registered growth of 4.7 per cent in the first three months of the year, with a total of 1,889,037

passengers This figure makes the island the largest for passenger traffic in the entire archipelago,

followed by Gran Canaria, which accounted for 1,615,961 passengers (+1.7%); Lanzarote, with 818,782 (+8.8%) and Fuerteventura, which registered 675,597 passengers (+2.9%). International traffic in the airport system of Tenerife accounted for a growth of 6.3 per cent with the arrival of 1,345,046 passengers and the national market registers an increase of 0.9 per cent to an overall number of 543,991 passengers. President of the Cabildo, Carlos Alonso, valued the good evolution of passenger traffic in the island, despite the calendar effect of Easter which last year was in March and in 2017 fell in April “managing to remain positive

in virtually all international markets. “ Sr. Alonso added that Aena’s forecasts for the summer season are also optimistic, “with an offer of more than 10.3 million air spaces on the island, which means a nine per cent increase in seats in the case of Tenerife Sur and one per cent in Tenerife North, and a total of 228 routes “. The figures show a 6.6 per cent increase in passenger traffic in Tenerife south, with a total of 1,414,269 passengers arriving in the first three months of the year. In the case of Tenerife North, it recorded a decrease in arrivals of 0.8 per cent in the quarter and reached 474,768 passengers in the period.

In the first quarter of the year, passenger arrivals from the United Kingdom (+8.2%) and Germany (+0.6%) both increased; as well as the Nordic countries (+ 3.8%); France (+ 21.8%), the Netherlands (+15.7%), Italy (+11%), Switzerland (+14.5%), Belgium ) and Poland (+9.4%). There were decreases in the arrivals from Ireland (-2%), Austria -5.1%) and Czech Republic (-7.9%). Tourism councillor, Alberto Bernabé, highlighted the “positive” balance of the winter season that has just concluded, “which has registered a 7.1 per cent increase in passengers to a global figure of 3,182,707 passengers arriving in Tenerife

between November 2016 and March 2017 and with a positive evolution in almost all markets.” International arrivals increased by 8.4 per cent (with a total of 2,248,698 passen-gers) and national arrivals by four per cent to a total of 934,009 passengers, with an increase in both arrivals from mainland airports (+ 3.8 per cent) and In the interinsular (+4.2 per cent). In the breakdown by airports, Tenerife North received a total of 814,895 passengers in the season, 2.2 per cent more than in the previous winter. In the case of Tenerife South, with a total figure of 2,367,812 passengers, it registered an increase of 8.9 per cent.

Guía de Isora pledges to become cardio-protected municipality

UÍA de Isora is taking steps to become a cardio-protected municipality in a bid to save lives.

The local council is installing eleven defibrillators in several municipal facilities, including cultural, social and sports centres. The machines can be used to save lives in cases of cardiorespiratory arrest.

Councillor for health, Francisco Baute Delgado said the municipal investment covering personnel, purchase and the installation of these semi-automatic devices has amounted to 15,000 euros. The centres which already have defibs are the SAC office in the main building of the

town hall; the auditorium in the cultural centre of Guía de Isora, cultural centre of Alcalá, the Centre for Creation and Youth Training in Playa San Juan (SAC of the coastal zone); the Guía de Isora occupational centre (in Playa San Juan) and a portable DESA for the Local Police to add to the one already in its headquarters. The council says it has not ruled out adding more locations.

The remaining defibs meanwhile will be placed in various football fields, such as those in Guía de Isora, Agua Dulce and Alcalá. The municipality will also install a device in the football field of Chío once the works of artificial turf laying have finished. Until that moment, the DESA will be made available by the Department of Sports and Youth at different outdoor events.

“Being a ‘cardioprotected’ municipality is important, since we guarantee the safety of our residents and those who visit us, because, in cases of emergency, an immediate response to any cardiorespiratory arrest can save human lives,” says Francisco Baute. In addition to providing the equipment in the different municipal centres, the council has trained its staff to know how to use them and how to

proceed before any emergency. In the near future, staff of the sports facilities, coaches, etc. will also be trained. Each defibrillator has a budget of 1,200 euros, including training, installation and warranty. Other public places that already have these devices and qualified personnel to use them are the bathing areas in Playa San Juan and La Jaquita in Alcalá.

Major facelift for Las Vistas after eight years

Over the last few months, occupancy rates have not fallen below the 90 per cent mark, it has been revealed. Easter also saw a bumper period between the dates of April 10th and 15th, said councillor for tourism, Luz Goretti Gorrín. During these dates, the hotel and extra-hotel establishments in the municipality of Santiago del Teide enjoyed a total occupation of 94 per cent. Playa de La Arena had a high occupancy with 99 per cent, Puerto de Santiago reached an occupancy of 93 per cent while Los Gigantes has had a 90 per cent occupancy. Sr. Gorrin said the figures reflected enormous support for the area and augured well for the summer season.

Two car fires an hour apart

RONA has given a major facelift to the popular beach of Las Vistas in Los Cristianos. The council says this is the first time such an extensive

spruce-up has happened in EIGHT years, during which time the municipality has been under a previous adminis-

tration. It is part of the pledge by the current authority to catch up on maintenance and to address outstanding issues. The beach was cleaned and the sand conditioned during a project described as “ fundamental to guarantee the highest quality to users, both residents and tourists.” Las Vistas is considered an emblematic space in the municipality and has a Blue Flag for the quality of its services. Maintenance was also carried out on the lighting towers and umbrellas and hammocks were returned following the work.

VITAL INDUSTRY

OLICE are investigating after two cars were destroyed by fire in La Laguna.

The incident happened in the San Matías area in the early hours of the morning and required the presence of the fire crew based in Santa Cruz. The first intervention was located in a car parked on Calle San Andrés, about 3.45am, and the second fire in a car parked on Calle San Plácido, about an hour later. Nation and Local Police both attended.

Cabildo backs La Orotava’s plans for market, goat centre and agricultural support

A Orotava is to improve the facilities at the Farmers’ Market as part of a pledge to help and encourage the agricultural sector.

Local council leaders say they are aware many people took to the land as a result of the economic crisis and are trying to make a living from farms and produce. An extensive refurbishment plan for the market, held in the area of La Torrita, will be developed this year with a view to carrying it out in 2018. Councillor for agriculture and livestock for Tenerife Cabildo, Jesús Morales Martínez recently held a working meeting with the Mayor of the Villa, Francisco Linares. Other municipal representatives were also present. Various concerns were raised on issues related to the agricultural and livestock sectors, dealing, among other issues, with the irrigation network in the middle areas and the project to expand the cheese factory in Benijos. It was during this meeting

that municipal representatives requested the collaboration of the insular institution to renovate and refurbish the facilities that host the Farmers’ Market. Among other things it is planned to condition all the space to make it more welcoming. The bar area will be expanded, as well as new furniture installed in the different booths. This work will mean the closing of this installation for a season, predicted for 2018, so alternatives will be studied so that it can be relocated, every Saturday, during the execution of the project. Sr. Morales said he will convene a meeting in July in the town to inform the farmers in the region of how the irrigation grid adaptation projects will proceed in the medium-sized areas, as the Cabildo is making an important investment in the improvement

to facilitate irrigation. He also praised the project values to expand the area of the dairy of Benijos and to include an information centre about goats to share the natural, cultural and patrimonial values linked to this traditional activity. This project is pending approval of the new General Management Plan of the municipality. However, once this is achieved, the Cabildo will commit to the project, as well as other actions aimed at

K9 news update Fluffy kittens await new homes,

say Cats’ Protection League

HERE’S nothing quite like the feeling of stepping out of your warm bed onto a cold, squishy, slimy hairball! Perhaps we should feel flattered that our feline companion has left a special gift for us, but frankly, most of us would rather bond with our cats another way!

Meet Princessa Hi, I’m Princessa. I am eight years old and have been here at the refuge for over two years. I had a family all my life till then but a change in their circumstances meant they could no longer keep me. They were very sad and so was I and, while everyone is very nice to me here, I really want to spend my senior years in a comfy and cosy home with my own loving family. So far that hasn’t happened though. My people at K9 say I am a lovely girl – friendly, small and quiet and fit as a fiddle. I love my walks and am so well behaved. They cannot understand why I continue to be passed by. Sometimes I wonder if it is because I look older as I have a grey face and, oh I don’t know, maybe I’m not as pretty as some of my friends here? I know I can get overwhelmed by young children and can snap sometimes so maybe that is the reason. My people tell me to try not to be sad as that is quite common when you get to my age and that there are lots of lovely homes out there where I won’t meet children. I so hope that is true and I can go home with my own special person soon. Do you have a place in your home and heart for me, please? We could grow old together. If you would like to meet me, please get in touch with my people at K9 in any of the ways mentioned below.

Normally, when cats groom and ingest the dead, loose hair, it passes through the digestive tract and comes out in the stool. A carnivore’s gut is designed to handle fur, its own as well as the fur of prey animals. However, generations of directed breeding have created cats with much longer coats than ever conceived of by natural selection. When too much hair collects in the stomach rather than passing out through the gut, it irritates the stomach lining and whoops there’s a hairball. While an occasional hairball is no cause for alarm, if your cat is vomiting up a hairball more than once or twice a month, it’s time to think about a plan of action. This will probably start with a trip to your vet to ensure there are no underlying health issues but assuming not then what next?

Prevention

Frequent combing is often all it takes to resolve the problem. But brushing won’t do. Brushes tend to slide over the surface of the fur so for short haired cats, a fine-toothed flea comb is best. Longer hair may require a wide-toothed comb. Many hairball-plagued cats will try to self-medicate by eating grass or plants. The coarse plant fibres will cause the cat to vomit, and hopefully, the irritating hair will come up as well.

Treatment

This generally falls into two categories: adding fibre to the diet, or giving a lubricant (usually a petroleum jelly product) to slide the hair through to the correct end of the cat for disposal. This can be given plain, as in good old Vaseline, or in a commercial product. Petroleum jelly’s molecules are too large to be absorbed by the intestines; it passes through the cat unchanged, and is perfectly safe. Hairball “treats” contain mineral oil rather than petroleum jelly. It works on the same principle, but has a slightly more laxative effect don’t overdo them!

Diet

There are a lot of hairball control cat foods and treats out there. How do they work? The general idea is that the higher fibre content will help hair pass through the gastrointestinal tract, out the other end, and into the kitty litter box where it belongs. If your cat struggles with hairballs, talk to your vet about taking a closer look at possible underlying causes.

Kittens

We have fluffy kittens of all different colours available for immediate adoption and also some adults. They’re available for viewing at Vet Express

behind Gran Sur, Don Perro in Las Chafiras and Kiwoko pet shop El Trompo shopping Centre Puerto de la Cruz. We do not charge an adoption fee but there is a contract of care to sign that you agree you will get its vaccinations and neutering done when old enough. Many people do not want black kittens as they do not think they are “pretty”. To encourage adoption we arrange free of charge the vaccination, microchip and neutering of black kittens and if two kittens are adopted together of any colour we will arrange the vaccination, microchip and neutering of one kitten.

Tragedy in Gran Canaria as British man drowns at Playa del Inglés

second British man drowned in the Canary Islands less than 24 hours after another Brit was ALL SAINTS CHURCH, PUERTO swept away by a huge wave in Tenerife.

The emergency services had spent all day looking for the second British victim, aged 27, who disappeared whilst swimming in Gran Canaria but was washed away by the strong currents. Maritime Rescue confirmed that the man’s body had been retrieved from the sea by Red Cross volunteers who went out on jet skis to try and find him. At 5.30pm, the emergency services had tweeted: “British bather has disappeared in Playa del Ingles. Search continuing with emergency helicopter.” At 6pm, there was a second tweet from Maritime Rescue which confirmed: “Emergency helicopter has located the bather who disappeared in Playa del Ingles. Attempt to resuscitate on shore but death finally confirmed.” Playa del Ingles is one of the most popular beaches on Gran Canaria and is near the famous sand dunes of Maspalomas in the south of Gran Canaria. However, it is well-known for its strong underwater currents. A spokesman for the 112 emergency service said they had been alerted by a caller after the man was seen waving for help whilst swimming near a lighthouse and struggling to keep afloat. His body was brought back to shore and prolonged attempts were made to save his life but without success. No further details have yet been revealed about this second tragedy. However, the man’s nationality has been confirmed as British and he was 27 years of age.

Fishing crew with illegal Lanzarote catch surprised by police becomes pioneer T in sensory bus information HE crew of a fishing boat was surprised by police after it arrived in Gran Canaria.

CANARY FIRST

To this end, the Cabildo has already commissioned a study to look at the shortcomings of the service and to recommend measures which should be adopted.

ANZAROTE has become the first place in the Canaries and the third in Spain to introduce a pioneering system which adapts the long distance buses of the island to the needs of people with sensory and hearing disabilities. The 35 lines, with 48 buses, which are part of the public transport service already have panels of information with sound and visuals and GPScontrolled data on routes and schedules. Now, there is a new system which transcribes the oral messages issued by the public address system through automatic speech recognition. In this way, the first institution complies with part of the agreements reached with the groups that work in Lanzarote for the benefit of people with functional disabilities who asked the Cabildo to implement

measures to ensure universal access to public transport. First vice-president of the Cabildo, José Juan Cruz said the new system has been installed thanks to an agreement, endowed with a public subsidy of around 178,000 euros, between the first insular institution and the concessionaire of the Arrecife Bus service. “ We improved and adapted the benefit to extend it to all citizens. We are working to meet the needs of all users, residents and tourists, getting closer and being sensitive to all realities,” he said.

A spot-check by the authorities revealed an illegal catch worth around 20,000 euros. The fishing vessel, flying a Spanish flag and 22 metres in length, was stopped by the patrol boat Rio Tambre. More than a ton and a half of fish, particularly cherne, was found in the hold. The maximum amount of the catch allowed without being declared is 30 kilograms. “These catches had not been recorded in the electronic fishing logbook and their registration had been falsified, which is contrary to the law,” said a police spokesman. The crew has also been accused of not intending to weight the fish in at the first point of sale.

New questions raised over 2008 Spanair tragedy which claimed 72 Canary lives

FLIGHT JK5022

EW questions are being raised about the Spanair tragedy at Madrid airport in 2008 amid claims that more lives could have been saved with a better emergency plan. Only 18 passengers on Flight JK5022 survived the crash, with 154 people being

killed in the fireball. An investigation later blamed human error and a technical

fault. Survivors and families are still pressing for what they regard as “unanswered questions” nine years on and are taking to the streets each month with protest marches. They say they have exhaus-

Two men steal 20 cartons of cigarettes in distraction theft

WO men were arrested in Gran Canaria after stealing 20 cartons of cigarettes under the nose of a shop assistant.

DISPLAY FORCED

Police said the suspects were caught after they committed their cirme in a supermarket in Maspalomas. Only one person was on duty when the men, aged 57 and 38, went into the store in the tourist resort. They managed to force open a display case and remove the 20 cartons of cigarettes worth 640 euros. Investigations led to the arrest of the two men of Romanian nationality and with multiple police antecedents. They were also found with 1,065 euros in cash they carried, in addition to marijuana.

ted virtually every avenue of appeals but want a special commission of investigation to be set up. Now, a new documentary has added weight to their arguments by suggesting the bulk of the blame should NOT be attributed to the two pilots, both of whom died. The short film claims there was “a failure in communication” at Madrid airport in the first 15 minutes after the crash and questions the effectiveness of the emergency plan. It is also being alleged there was “chaos” in the management centre and that not enough ambulances were called out. The documentary took five years of investigations and is said to have discovered “new faults, negligence and irregularities that attenuate the possible responsibility of the two pilots”.

The plane was on its way to Gran Canaria when it crashed on take-off on August 20th. It was Spain’s most serious air disaster in three decades. Of those who died, 72 were from the Canaries. The new film includes an interview with an airport technician who talks about the “agonising wait” for the rescue services and quotes an expert lawyer in aeronautics saying the court’s decision was based on “a technical fact that is not true”. The short film was released at the International Film Festival of Lanzarote. Spanish newspapers say it questions “irregularities” in the ruling of the Provincial Court of Madrid as well as “failures” in the emergency plan. The Association of those Affected by Flight JK5022 says it will not comment on the

documentary because it has not seen it but wants a new commission called for various other reasons, including question marks over the aircraft’s air worthiness certificate. “The pilots are victims and they died in the accident but they cannot defend themselves,” says its president, Pilar Vera. Families say they will continue their protest marches on the 20th of every month until they get action. They say the deaths should never have happened in the first place but want to make sure such a tragedy never happens again. Official investigators found that the flight crew failed to extend the aircraft’s wing flaps and slats when it took off but an automatic warning system did not go off.

27-year-old German “hippy ” who started a fatal fire on La Palma after burning his toilet paper and throwing it into a field has been jailed for three and a half years. A court in Tenerife criticised the man for his “total regard for the most elementary safety precautions” on picturesque La Palma last August. More than 3,000 people had to be evacuated from 1,000 homes, including an old folk’s residence, as the fire raged across the island. It was described as one of the worst in the Canay Islands in the last decade. The defendant, identified by his initials of SVS in the judicial ruling, will also have to pay compensation estimated at over 150,000 euros. He will also have to pay La Palma’s island council 1.7 million euros in damages even though he was reported to be “totally broke”. The forest blaze in August 2016 destroyed nearly 5,000 hectares, forcing many people to leave their homes, and led to the death of a forest ranger who was helping to fight the fire. It took more than six days to get under control but was not finally extinguished until two months later in October. The man who died was Francisco José Santana Álvarez, 54, an environmntal services officer who had more than 20 years of service with the local authority. He was married with five children. He died of smoke inhalation and burns. The defendant pleaded guilty to severe negligence which endangered lives and formally accepted the penalties proposed by the Canary Islands’ Public Prosecutor’s Office. The rulings were made public on Friday. The young German had spent three months living in an abandoned building in the area where the fire originated, in El Charco de Las Palmas, in the municipality of El Paso. The court was told he used a home-made toilet and threw away the burning soiled paper into grassland without any thought about the danger that would cause. “He did not bother to check that the burning paper had gone out before leaving the place,” said the judgement. Due to his negligence, the flames set fire to the dry shrubland and spread very quickly, fanned by the strong wind and soaring temperatures. The ferocious blaze affected 4,864 hectares in the municipalities of El Paso, Los Llanos de Aridane, Villa de Mazo and Fuencaliente, “with clear danger” for the integrity and health of the people, said the Audiencia Provincial of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The court was told that to his credit, the accused helped the authorities from the outset and acknowledged his involvement. He is also being faced with compensation claims for houses damaged during the fire.

CIRCULAR ROUTE

Historic footpath reopened after landslides

N old footpath which has a history going back 500 years has now been reopened by the Cabildo of Gran Canaria.

The circular path of Los Tilos de Moya is a reminder of the old Doramas Forest of Gran Canaria. The Cabildo has recently completed repairs and cleaning of the section affected by landslides, as well as the rehabilitation of a section of railings and steps deteriorated by the passage of time. Due to the danger of the actions undertaken by the risk of landslides and rocks, the scheme was commissioned by the Ministry of the Environment to a company specialised in vertical works, while the restoration of damaged railings and steps was

done by the Cabildo’s own staff. The Los Tilos de Moya circular path was closed from the road that goes from the GC704 road to the connection with the section that goes to San Fernando de Moya, that is, the right bank of the Laurel Ravine. This trail begins in the town of Moya in the direction of Fontanales and passes through the most interesting natural, landscape and ethnographic areas of the municipality, among which is the largest and best preserved area of laurisilva of the Island, Los Tilos Special Natural Reserve

CYBERSEX SCAM

Canary police warn of dangers of “sextorsion”

OLICE are warning about the dangers of “sextorsion”, both in the Canary Islands and in Spain.

The method is the same in all of the cases. A person, invariably a man, will be looking at his mobile phone or tablet when a picture of a sexy woman appears in the top right hand corner of the screen. The woman then invites the man to participate in sexual acts with her via the phone on a virtual basis. What the man doesn’t realise is that everything is being recorded and he is later blackmailed into paying money in exchange for the video not to be released. The Technological Crime Group of the National Police Corps in Las Palmas says it receives two to three complaints each week for sexual extortion through social net-

works. They say the demand for cash can be as high as 3,000 euros. Mainly, Facebook is being used. The gangs usually select males aged 18 or 19 because they assume they already have work and can pay up and they operate from outside Spain in Morocco and the Ivory Coast. One network was dismantled by the police last summer but another is still active. The money is requested to be sent via the Western Union to a specific account on the Ivory Coast with the threat that unless paid, the video will be posted on Youtube. The cash transfer is collected by a mule who gets about one per cent commission.

Once the ransom has been paid, however, the video is never really deleted. Fortunately, as more and more people get to know about the scam, the number of victims is steadily falling but men are still being caught out. “There is no free sex on the Internet, unless it is with someone you know and, in that case, you have to be careful with the images. Anything you are caught in an intimate attitude is at risk of being used against you,” warned a police spokesman. “Do not engage in cybersex with someone you do not know.” If you are a victim of sexting the first thing is to report it, no matter how embarrassing it may be. Police are liaising with other European countries where this is also happening.

HASH FOUND

Ferry passenger arrested

man has been arrested for trying to introduce hash in La Gomera from Tenerife.

The 36-year-old was on a ferry which had travelled from Santa Cruz to San Sebastian. Civil Guard officers became suspicious about his behaviour and when he was searched, he was found to have 400 grams of hashish and 100 grams of hashish pollen hidden in his belongings. He was immediately arrested as the alleged perpetrator of a drug trafficking offence.

RAVINE FALL

Helicopter rescues injured hiker

HE emergency helicopter was called in to rescue a hiker who suffered a fall in Gran Canaria.

The incident happened in the Barramco de Gauyedra in Agaete in the mid-afternoon. The 112 emergency control centre received a call to report that a 56-year-old woman needed help after a fall in the ravine. Rescuers included the police, both local and national, the Civil Guard, emergency rescue group and medics. The helicopter was needed because of the difficult location. She was evacuated to the heliport at the hospital for treatment to a lower leg injury but doctors said it was not serious.

RAVINE SHOCK

Miraculous escape for rally driver

rally driver missed serious injury or even death by centimetres after his car nearly plummeted down a rocky ravine.

Fate was on the side of Pole Tomasz Kasperczyk as he took part in the Rally Islas Canarias. His car was travelling at speed along a mountain road before it veered sideways into the crash barrier. The vehicle would have plunged over the side and down the ravine had it not been for the metal railings. Luckily, the rally car came to stop with two of its wheels hanging precariously over the edge. Kasperczyk was able to get out and hurried away from the

car, unharmed and holding up a banner with the words “OK”. The amazing escape happened in the middle of the race in Gran Canaria. Tomasz Kasperczyk later tweeted: “Wow, I had the crash the year” and posted extra footage from inside the car. He and his co-driver were forced to withdraw from the second stage of the race due to the damage sustained by their car. The problem was reportedly due to the brakes.

DEADLY TASKS

Police warning over “Blue Whale” suicide challenge

13-year-old schoolgirl from Mallorca has be come the latest victim of the horrific “Blue Whale” suicide challenge after teachers discovered “very significant cuts” on her arm. Police have confirmed they are investigating the case and say they are making “steady inroads” into detecting the person who virtually brainwashed the teenager. This is the first “Blue Whale” victim discovered in the Balearic Islands although there has been one in Portugal, involving an 18-year-old, and one in Barcelona. The latter involved a 15-year-old who was taken to hospital after signing up for the challenge. Victims are “captured” over the internet and persuaded to carry out a series of 50 tasks,

including cutting their arms to create a picture of a whale and eventually taking their own lives. Police have been warning about the spread of the vicious craze in Europe and this appears to be coming true. The 13-year-old girl from Mallorca went to a secondary school in Palma where staff saw the cuts on one of her forearms. The head teacher called the girl in and spoke to her about the mutilation before bringing in the police. The exact whereabouts of

the school and further information is being held to protect the girl’s identity. Specialist officers have taken over the investigation and are tracking the IP of the computer over which the “inductor” gave the orders to the child. According to witnesses, she acknowledged that she had injured herself with a blade because “an internet game required it”. She also new that the challenge would continue until the last task when she would have to thrown herself off a bridge. The parents of the girl say they know nothing about the situation but later found a razor under the bed which she kept

there whilst sleeping. The teenager is said to be in good health despite the scare and is continuing to go to school but is receiving expert help from counsellors. Police are said to be probing at least 130 suicides across Russia which they fear are linked to the online craze. Meantime, a Facebook page called “Pink Whale” has been set up to combat the suicidal challenge and promotes a series of positive challenges. Police have warned children and parents to be aware and alert about the spread of this deadly challenge and not to become involved.

Boy saved after eating chips cooked in fish oil

WO police officers have saved the life of a nine-year-old British boy after he suffered a severe reaction to chips cooked in fish oil.

The youngster was taken seriously ill and was unable to breath after his airwaves swelled up. The two policemen rushed him to hospital in their patrol car and because of their swift actions, doctors were able to save his life. The heart-stopping incident happened in Alicante when the boy was eating chips in a restaurant. Unknown to his family, they had apparently been cooked in oil which had also been used for fish, to which he was allergic.

The boy, who lives in Benidorm, started to choke and the police were called. The two officers, named only as Federico and Enrique, rushed to his aid and took him to the hospital in Villajoyosa. Doctors said he was suffering from a severe food allergy and an anaphylactic shock and was in a serious condition when admitted. However, after a few hours in hospital, the symptoms eased and he was discharged from hospital.

CHILDREN HURT

Little girl dies after bouncy castle “explodes”

N investigation is underway after a girl of six died and six other children injured after a bouncy castle exploded in a restaurant’s gar-

den.

The accident happened on a Sunday afternoon when the three youngsters most seriously hurt were rushed to hospital by air ambulance. The little girl of six died

overnight of her severe injuries. The emergency services say the other boys and girls suffered various injuries when they were flung off the

inflatable, parts of which reached the roof of the restaurant. Debris was found more than 120ft away from the original site, including in the branches of trees. The children were aged between three and eleven. The accident happened in Caldes de Malavella, a town in Girona. Parents of the injured children were having their lunch whilst the boys and girls played on the inflatable. Customers have reported hearing “a loud bang” and said the children were flung high into the air before falling down on the grass or tarmac. President of the Generalitat, Carles Puigdemont, has sent his solidarity and affection to the family of the deceased child through his Twitter account.

REPORT EXTRACTS

Family of pilot Andreas Lubitz still claim he was not to blame T

HE family of Germanwings suicide pilot Andreas Lubitz are still claiming he was NOT responsible for the fatal crash which claimed the lives of 150 people.

More details from a report they commissioned from an aviation expert have been revealed, with 15 pages published on the internet by its author. The Airbus A320 smashed into the side of the French Alps killing all on board but Lubitz’s parents Gunter and Ursula are not prepared to accept their son was to blame. Andreas Lubitz died with the other 149 people on board, many of them schoolchildren. They included a group of 16 high school students and two teachers returning to Germany from a student exchange with a Spanish school. The plane was flying from Barcelona in Spain to Dusseldorf in Germany when it crashed into the mountain range. It was later revealed Lubitz, 26, was , suffering from depression and believed - wrongly - that he was going blind and would have to give up his flying career. Aviation journalist Tim van Beveren presented his report in Berlin to coincide with the second anniversary of the crash and now, as pledged during that press conference, has posted some of his findings on line. Van Beveren insists Lubitz was NOT responsible for the crash and continues to question “the conduct and conclusions of the official investigators.” “In the very early stage of the investigation, all the investigations were focused on the copilot Andreas Lubitz,” he says in a 15-page excerpt from the report. He and Lubitz’s parents say there are “significant doubts about Andreas Lubitz’s” proven guilt “. According to the authorities’ report, on 24 March 2015 the Copilot intentionally brought the Airbus A320 on its way from Barcelona to Duesseldorf crashing into the South of France. All 150 people died on board. Prior to this, he had blocked the flight captain from the cockpit. At the original press conference to coincide with the second anniversary, Lubitz’s father insisted his son had not been depressed.

CARS PELTED

Police plea after drug traffickers using Spanish beaches attack officers

OLICE fighting a war against narco gangs who land their drugs on packed Spanish holiday beaches are calling for reinforcements after a running pitched battle with more than 100 people. Patrol cars were pelted with massive stones and officers chased along the promenades of Campo de Gibraltar as the drug smugglers appeared to be backed up by ordinar y members of the public. Spanish police officers later took to the streets themselves to protest at the dangers they are facing on what they say is a weekly basis, with narco

boats brazenly landing on the sand and gangs unpacking their haul in front of stunned tourists. They say a police officer will be killed unless something is done because the attacks are getting more violent and they have been issued with death threats. They also fear there could be guns or even explosives in the narco boats which land on the beaches.

Members of the Spanish Association of Civil Guard and the Spanish Police Confederation gathered in Algeciras to complain about the lack of resources in the Campo de Gibraltar, especially in La Línea de la Concepción. The latest attack happened in La Linea when police spotted a large boat on the beach and up to a dozen men, all wearing black, taking boxes of drugs off it and loading them into waiting cars. When the police officers tried to intervene, the men turned on them, chasing

them down the promenade and pelting them with stones. The windows of several patrol cars were smashed and at one stage, other people on the beach appeared to join in. They claim such attacks are happening on a regular basis and that due to damaged cars and injured officers, resources have been substantially reduced. “We feel helpless when confronted with these violent attacks,” said a spokesman, “especially as many of those arrested are later released and continue with the drug smuggling.” The Civil Guard says that for La Linea alone, there are only 19 officers who cannot possibly cover 14 kilometres of coastline. The coordinator of anti-drug associations in the region, Alternativas, Francisco Mena said: “A very dangerous line has been crossed because it is difficult to recover the concept of authority when it has gone.” Local politicians are supporting the police call, saying the images of pitched battles and drug traffickers landing on the beaches are harming Spain’s tourism image.

Firemen’s rooftop rescue ends in tragedy

OBESE PATIENT

morbidly obese woman weighing more than 30 stone has died after firemen had to use a crane to lift her out of her flat to get her to hospital. The 43-year-old woman, who initially suffered an asthma attack, was so heavy that the emergency services couldn’t get her down the

stairs. They spent more than 12 hours getting her out using a crane via the roof terrace but she was dead by the time she

reached hospital. The incident happened in the Inca district of Mallorca. Medics went to the scene and realised she would not be able to leave her house by the front door because of her size of more than 200 kilos. However, because daylight was needed to perform the “complicated” rescue, doctors stayed with her until first thing on Friday morning. Fire crews from Mallorca then brought in a crane with a trailer and stretcher on it which was hoisted up to the roof terrace. The narrow street was shut off to traffic whilst they carried out a trial run to see if it would work. The woman was eventually taken by ambulance to hospital but suffered a cardiac arrest and could not be revived despite prolonged resuscitation for more than an hour. The Government of the

Balearic Islands has launched an official investigation whilst expressing its condolences to her family.

CELL MEMBERS

Spanish police arrest three more terrorist suspects

PANISH police have continued their crackdown on terrorist recruitment and promotion with the arrest of three more suspects.

They were caught in Badalona and Salou in Spain and Tangier in Morocco for being part of an active cell attached to Daesh. All three had pledged their willingness to “die as martyrs”. Police said the two men arrested in Spain kept up strong links with other terrorists, including prominent members in the Syrian-Iraqi conflict zone where they intended to travel to fight. “The members of this cell carried out recruitment, indoctrination and recruitment work in favour of the DAESH terrorist group, not only face to face but also through social networks where they shared videos and photographs inciting the armed struggle and the commission of suicide bombings,” said a spokesman for the Spanish police. The two men arrested in Badalona (Barcelona) and Salou (Tarragona) are aged 21 and 32 and are both Moroccan. The third cell member was caught in Tangier. Police said the suspects had all received military training, boxing and hand-to-hand

combat techniques. “They had also performed indoctrination work on people close to their environment. One of the detainees, who persuaded his partner to follow the model of his brother, moved to Syria to fight, planning to travel to this area of conflict to join the ranks of the same terrorist organisation,” said the police. The operation is still open as part of the crackdown on terrorism. Since June 26, 2015, when the Ministry of the Interior raised the Anti-Terrorism Alert Level (NAA) to 4, the Security Forces have arrested 162 jihadi terrorists in operations in Spain and abroad and a total of 207 since early 2015. Police are reminding members of the public that there are ways they can report their suspicions about terrorist behaviour. The Ministry of the Interior has set up a wsebsite on www.stop-radicalismos.es, an Alertcops mobile security alert application and a free telephone number 900 822 066.

EBOLA HEARTBREAK

Campaigners want change in protocol after Excalibur claim refused

Spanish nurse who became the first person outside Africa to contract ebola has been left heartbroken for a second time because of a court ruling over her dead dog. After Teresa Romero was rushed to hospital in October 2014, her treasured pet Excalibur was taken into care and put down without telling her because of the risk he too might have contracted the deadly disease. She was only told of his death when she recovered and was reduced to tears, as were hundreds of thousands of people who signed a protest petition against what they regarded as an unjust decision by the Spanish Government. Now, following the launching of an official complaint into the putting down of her dog without her permission, Teresa has been told it WAS justified and she cannot claim any sort of compensation, moral or otherwise. Her husband had put in a claim for 150,000 euros but this has been rejected. Spain’s Supreme Court says putting the dog down was justified, particularly given the lack of knowledge at that time about ebola. Later, it was discovered that Excalibur did

not have the virus. Campaigners who took to the streets of Spain to vent their anger after Excalibur was destroyed said his death could have been avoided with one simple test. Instead, health officials got a court order and took the dog away and he was put down within 24 hours without any consultation. Their protests in 2015 took place in 17 cities and more than half a million people, including many celebrities, signed an online protest petition in world-wide outrage. When told about her dog’s death, Teresa said it was like “losing a child”. She and her husband Javier Limon were even more incensed because “Bentley ”, the pet dog of American ebola survivor Nina Pham was allowed to live and was put in quarantine before being given the all-clear. Teresa, Javier and their new pet, Alma took part in

one of the protests in Madrid. Teresa, who has now fully recovered, was a nursing assistant at the Madrid hospital Carlos III where missionary, Manuel García Viejo died on September 25th, 2015. She was then diagnosed on October 6th. The animal campaigning party, PACMA says dogs are part of people’s families and the authorities have to be aware that putting a pet down in a case of suspected ebola causes them more heartache and suffering. A spokesman said they were incensed by the latest decision to veto any sort of moral compensation for Teresa following Excalibur’s death. The Spanish courts ruled that the dog could not have been kept in secure conditions until it was known he if had ebola because there was nowhere suitable. It would have been impossible to put a guard on him for 24 hours a day or to prevent any ebola he might have contracted to be passed on. PACMA says Teresa and her family have been denied moral compensation for the loss of a member of their family. They blame the “incompetence and lack of empathy” of Madrid health officials. The party wants to see a proper policy put into place in order to deal with any dog which might come into contact with ebola. A spokesman said they totally condemned euthanasia without at first contemplating proper tests and quarantine.

EXPERT MATCHING

Forensic experts in milestone after catching sex abuser because of his hands

OLICE in Spain have identified a child sex offender by matching his hands to images found in pictures he took of his crimes.

They say this is the first time such a technique has been used and represents a major breakthrough in catching criminals and is akin to leaving finger-prints. The 57-year-old man repeatedly abused the little girl in Spain whilst her mother was out of the house. The paedophile carried out his attacks on a regular basis, first drugging his eleven-year-old victim with a powerful sedative which he mashed up in her food. Because of this, said a spokesman for the Spanish police, the girl was always very drowsy and not aware of what was going on or who was abusing her. However, following a complaint from her mother whose suspicions had been aroused, officers found photographs of the youngster in her bed, naked and asleep. In some of them, the back of the man’s fingers could be seen. As part of their investigations, the former partner of the girl’s mother was interviewed in prison where he was serving time for another offence and detailed pictures and measurements were taken of his hands. “These were then compared in minute detail with the pictures found in the girl’s home,” said the spokesman. Forensic experts in Madrid eventually confirmed the fingers were those of the man in prison because they exactly matched all the dimensions, joints and characteristics. “This identification is a milestone, since it is the first time that it has been possible to identify the author of a crime by looking at samples of the back of the hand, opening up new possibilities in the scientific investigation of crimes,” say the police. The man has been charged with continued sexual abuse.

UNUSUAL ARRIVAL

Floating concrete factory washes up on shore!

OURISTS had some unusual pictures to take after something rather unexpected turned up on a nudist beach in Costa del Sol!

This 60ft high platform ran aground in Malaga during freak storms. The rig is used as a floating factory for making cement blocks and is normally anchored out at sea. It was being towed from Cartagena to Cadiz by a tug boat when the ropes between the two were severed during the Force 7 winds. The super-structure, which managed to stay afloat, drifted towards the beach of Benalnatura in Torrequebrada, Benalmádena which is a firm favourite with nudists. The rig is 43 metres in length and contains 150 litres of fuel. The emergency services said no-one was on board at the time and there had been no spillage into the sea.

The cement factor y became a magnet for visitors who flocked to the area to

take selfies and created massive traffic jams on the surrounding roads.

Summer is here and a playscheme provides the perfect solution for all!

UMMER is nearly here and although that spells great news for kids as they escape school for three months, it also presents the usual headache for parents.

Every mum and dad knows the dilemma. You have to work, there’s no way you can take all those weeks off and you don’t have anyone to help out. But never fear, the playscheme is here! If you haven’t taken advantage of one of these before, please do so. It not only gives you peace of mind that your child is being well looked-after but also opens up new opportunities for your offspring as well. They can make friends, learn a new skill, know how to interact with other children and gain the understanding of independence as well. And all at a cost that is affordable. Many playschemes offer extras such as transport, meals and even extended hours so please do ask the organisers. It is always best to opt for a certified scheme which is being run by an organisation you know or which is established in Tenerife. That way you know everything is covered, such as the proper tuition, care, the right number of monitors and insurance. Here we feature some of the playschemes you might like to look at for the coming months. Here is one mum’s story: “I have always worked full-time and love my career AND my family. Most of the time, if help is needed for perhaps a day or an afternoon, I could usually find someone to help. But living away from my family and parents was always a big handicap.” “I had always felt a bit nervous about putting my child into a playscheme, feeling a little bit guilty and somehow opting out of parenthood. But I need not have worried. My son just loved the playscheme he went to and couldn’t wait to get there and dragged his feet when it was time to leave!” “It taught him new skills and independence and he made new friends, some of whom have remained so for years after. So I would not hesitate to recommend using a playscheme. Just choose wisely and carefully to give yourself and your child total peace of mind.”

Happy holidays!

THE MUDEJAR INFLUENCE “The what influence?” I hear you say. Is that an anagram or something? Well actually, no, Mudejar was the name given to Arabs, or Moors, living under Christian rule in mainland Spain during the Middle Ages

HE next question is how to pronounce the word. For us English our first attempt will probably sound something like ‘muddy jar’, which of course it isn’t. ‘Mu’ is pronounced ‘moo’ as in a cow, ‘de’ as in deck, and ‘jar’ as in ‘char’, where the ‘ch’ is pronounced as in a Scottish loch. For the origin of the name we have to go back centuries into Spain’s history. After the eruption of Islam in the 7th century A.D., the Moors, as the Arabs were called then, invaded Spain in 711 and conquered much of the peninsular, bringing with them an alien civilisation and a high culture that included among other things, ornamental gardens, pools and fountains, and, more practically, a revolutionary system of agriculture with innovations such as new food crops and waterwheels to provide irrigation. However, nothing lasts for ever; the ruling Moors were defeated and driven out of Spain in 1492. But although they had been defeated and subdued, the influence of the Moors, or Mudejars, remained, one of the most obviously oriental influences being their architecture. The fashion for Mudejar had begun much earlier, during the 14th century under Peter I of Spain, also known as Peter the Cruel, who did not in fact rule all of the peninsular, and who reigned from 1350 to 1369. He reconstructed the Alcazar in Seville in the architectural style of an Arabian palace.

England, say in East Anglia where the timber-framed buildings are coated with coloured render.

‘TWIN ARCHED WINDOWS’ A misleading name this one, implying either two windows side by side, each with an arched lintel over, or one window with two arched lintels, but in fact the term refers to highlevel, projecting latticed windows with shutters, on sills or window seats supported by stepped timber corbels, or brackets, in two stages (the twin arches). The purpose of these windows in Moorish communities, where women were kept away from the public eye, was to allow them to look out onto the street below without being seen. The most noticeable and perhaps the best surviving example in Tenerife is in La Laguna, at one corner of the enclosing wall of the Convent of Santa Catalina, high above the junction between the streets of Calle Viana and Calle Obispo Rey Redondo (formerly La Carrera), from where the nuns have their only view of the outside world.

been effective against sword and lance and spear thrusts in warfare of the Middle Ages, but not much of a defence against gunfire and certainly not against cannon-fire. In the end the palisades were probably more of a status symbol, perhaps the equivalent of garden fence to demarcate private property.

‘COFFERED CEILINGS’ Coffered ceilings are intricate, multiple-angled, multiplepanelled wooden ceilings. In churches they are often breathtaking, very ornately carved and sometimes gilded, while in the grand houses of the 17th and early 18th century, although they have the same structure, they are usually less elaborately decorated. Houses such as the House of Balconies, and at the Museo del Alfombrista next door, which is the fascinating ‘House of Carpets’ (the sand carpets and flower carpets that can be seen in the streets at certain times of the year), at La Orotava, are good examples.

The Spanish Renaissance can be said to have begun in that eventful year of 1492, when the Moors were defeated and Columbus ‘discovered’ the New World. (Interestingly, the last sight Columbus had of the ‘old world’ was Gomera.) After the conquest of the Canary Islands during the 15th century, which ended with the defeat of the Guanches of Tenerife in 1495, the Mudejar architecture was brought to the archipelago, along with all things Spanish. In my collection of books about Tenerife there is one called ‘Canaries – A Thematic Encyclopedia,’ published by the newspaper ‘El Dia’ in 1995, and it’s well worth reading if you can find it. In the Art section, under ‘Mudejar,’ it lists four features that can still be seen today:

‘SGRAFFITI’ This curious word is the name for an artistic technique in which two layers of differently coloured plaster and sand are applied to the walls of a building. Scratches are then made through the top layer to make a pattern which is shown by the colour of the layer beneath. There is an example of this below the eaves of the church of San Augustin in La Orotava. I wonder why it didn’t catch on in

Timber palisade at the Battery of San Fernando (Photo, the author)

‘BATTLEMENTS’ Again this is not the most accurate name for this defensive feature. The spiked, upright timber palisades that surround the chapel of San Telmo in Puerto de la Cruz and the tiny little gun battery of San Fernando at La Rambla de Castro are more legacies from the Mudejars. They would have

Coffered ceiling in the chapel of San Antonio, church of La Concepcion, La Laguna. (With acknowledgement to El Dia for the photograph) The Mudejar influence on Spanish architecture is only one of many artistic and scientific benefits that were brought to the west. As a small example, how many people know that the numbers we use every day are actually Arabic? But what strikes me about all this is that the open-minded and harmonious cross-fertilisation of ideas between radically different cultures, particularly the presence of Islamic ideas in Christian churches, could teach us a lesson and could do with being spread around the trouble-torn world that we live in.

Kia takes Picanto beyond city limits

HE city is far from the limit for Kia’s new Picanto.

That was clearly the case when I attended its launch in Italy. My drive started on arrival at Grosseto Airport and a route of two and a half hours took in many winding and hilly roads. The Picanto proved to be as lively and enjoyable as the wine I sampled later in the day in the Tuscany sunshine. This is the third generation Picanto – there was an earlier Pride model that Kia brought to the UK in 1991. It was all about being cheeky and cheep for the Korean car company then and this practical little car was a popular new arrival. Fast for ward the years though and you will discover

that the Picanto has evolved to become MUCH more than that. The bar has been raised in many areas, including design, build quality, performance and small-car driving enjoyment. With more quality players arriving in the A-segment since the previous Picanto’s launch in 2011, Kia has responded to the challenge with this stunning new model. It’s no larger than its predecessor but delivers greater space and practicality. With 15mm added to the wheelbase, clever packaging improves passenger and luggage space with the boot’s capacity going up by 55 litres to a class-best 255 litres and increasing to 1,010 litres with rear seats folded. There’s also plenty of head, elbow and legroom for driver, front and rear passengers in

Police checkpoints and random stops

NY person who has driven on Spanish roads will no doubt have seen or passed through a Spanish Police Road Block Check point. These are normally carried out by the Guardia Civil, who are the Traffic Police, but here in the Tenerife the relatively new police department the Policia Canaria also carry out these checks. Sometimes these checks are being carried out in line with a campaign being run by the DGT such as a one to combat drinking and driving, driving with no insurance, no licence, current ITV etc. On other occasions they are being carried out due to intelligence that relates to a specific threat or where they are searching for a car that has absconded from the scene of an accident. Do not be daunted or frightened by this, most people who have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide are allowed to go on their way quite swiftly. Remember that the police are responsible for ensuring the safety of road users and they are doing their job.

a more spacious and higher quality interior. The Picanto is a little eyecatcher with Kia adding more sporting touches to its exterior. The front gets wider grilles and air intakes, bumpers are bolder, and prominent wheel arches give it a more squatter,

sportier stance. It now comes in just fivedoor style and there are more sporty exterior changes depending on the spec. Kia sticks with its 1, 2 and 3 trim levels but has also adds sporting GT-Line and GT-Line S models to the range. There is a choice of two petrol engines from launch – a threecylinder 66bhp 1.0-litre and 83bhp 1.25-litre – with a turbo 99bhp 1.0-litre due later this year. My first drive was in a Picanto 2 featuring the smallerpowered engine. This will be the most popular choice in the range and buyers won’t be disappointed. Out on the open road it proved to be a quieter performer than the outgoing model. Greater insulation has helped to bring reduced noise vibration and harshness,

and it did cruise along well at motorway speeds. It moved quicker out of the blocks than the zero to 60mph time of 13.8 seconds would suggest. I liked the five-speed manual gearbox that provided slick, smooth changes. The engine was perky enough going through the gears and responded well when dropping down a gear for some extra mid-range acceleration. Suspension modifications have brought improved handling, and cornering roll has been reduced so it was great fun tackling bends at speed. Kia introduces torque vectoring into its city car with Picanto and this assists handling stability in corners and is standard on all models. There was also a good firm feel while cornering on some twisting roads at high speeds. The new motor-assisted power steering is responsible for that and it was also light and quick enough when it came to driving in the city and parking manoeuvres. Further drives allowed me to sample the1.25-litre engine that was a bit quicker off the mark, reaching 60mph in 11.6 seconds and capable of 107mph against the 1.0-litre’s100mph. The added power meant fewer mid-range gear changes and it was slightly quieter at motorway speeds but I would happily opt for the 66bhp-engined version that I enjoyed in city and countryroad drives. The re-engineered engines offer better fuel consumption and lower emissions, with

The best thing to remember when you are stopped is not to panic, stay calm and be polite. Follow the instructions that the officer gives you and if you do not speak Spanish say so at the beginning but in a polite manner. Often the members of the Guardia Civil speak good English, but do not assume that this is the case as after all we are in Spain. Once they have indicated where they wish you to pull over they may then approach the vehicle and ask you to step out, do not be alarmed by this, they may merely wish to check the contents and possibly passengers in the car as well as the documentation of the car and your own personal documents for identification i.e. Passport, Driving Licence, Residencia etc. Make sure that you give the officer the correct documentation requested and ensure that it is returned to you. It is important that once you have been allowed to leave the check point that you should not warn other road users, i.e. by flashing of your lights for example as you may find that there is another officer down the road who will stop you and fine you for this “offence”. Another useful tip is to know exactly how the Police will order you to stop, when it’s not in a checkpoint situation. It is the duty of Guardia Civil Officers to ensure road safety and to prevent offences being committed that would endanger other road users. They are also tasked with providing assistance if necessary. If you are approached by a police car with flashing blue lights AND A RED FLASHING LIGHT, this is their indication that they want you to stop. You should then at the earliest possible opportunity, which is safe and convenient stop and wait for the patrol car to stop behind you. All occupants of your vehicle MUST remain in the car until such time as the officer has approached you on the right hand side and advised you as to the reason why you have been stopped. When they have finished they will assist you in re joining the flow of traffic. If you are driving safely, doing nothing that is against the law, not driving drunk or having had alcohol outside of the permitted limits, then you really should not have anything to worry about. Happy Driving .

the 1.0-litre capable of 64.2mpg combined, 1.25litre 61.4mpg and 101g/km and 106g/km respectively. Kia tends to provide high equipment levels in its models and the Picanto is no different. The 1 features include electric front windows, tinted windows and tilt-adjustable steering wheel. Grade 2 adds items such as aircon, electric rear windows, electric heated door mirrors, Bluetooth with music streaming, leathertrimmed steering wheel and gear lever and a four-speaker, rather than two-speaker audio system. Interior and exterior enhancements include highgloss black centre fascia trim, body-coloured door handles and side mirror

housing, chromed grille surround and 14-inch alloys. Grade 3 benefits include centre armrest, auto aircon, cruise control with speed limiter, seven-inch floating central display with satnav, Bluetooth with voice recognition, DAB radio, rear parking camera and sensors, front fog lights, electric folding mirrors with LED indicators and 15-inch alloys. For those who want to stand out from the crowd the GT Line brings more eyecatching features that include larger sports front and rear bumpers and red highlights within the upper grille and side air intakes, along the side sills and in the lower rear bumper, as well as twin exhaust pipes. There’s also 16-inch

alloys, black and red faux leather seats, privacy glass on rear windows and tailgate, bi-function projection headlamp units, LED daytime running lamps and rear lights, chrome beltline strip and stainless steel pedals. Step up to the top-of-therange £13,950 GT-Line S 1.25-litre and the extra goodies include wireless phone charger, electric sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, smart key and push button stop start. Picanto is a popular car in the UK with almost a quarter of its European sales. And with prices starting at £9,450 – plus Kia’s market leading warranty of seven years or 100,000 miles – the new arrival is set to blow away its city rivals.

Caring for your pet chinchilla

LIVELY CREATURES

EFORE choosing a chinchilla as a pet, you need to consider that they can live for up to 15 years.

They are lively animals and mostly nocturnal so they are not ideal as children’s pets and children need to be supervised when handling them. If you are buying a young chinchilla, it’s best to see the babies with the mother and ideally, other chinchillas from the same family. The adults should all look healthy and the cages should be clean and spacious. The breeder should ask you lots of questions and offer information about how to care for chinchillas. There are now some chinchilla rescue organisations that may have unwanted adults or young looking for caring homes and charities sometimes have chinchillas brought in for rehoming. Chinchillas are not happy alone, so you should get two at the same time if possible. Litter-mates will live happily together but if they are not the same sex make sure the male is neutered to prevent them breeding.

HOUSING CHINCHILLAS Chinchillas are usually kept as indoor pets and this is best for our climate. They can survive in quite cold temperatures but draughts can be very dangerous for them so they must be kept in a draughtfree environment. They are prone to heatstroke in warm conditions, so never put their cage in a sunny window. Being nocturnal, it’s probably best not to put them in a bedroom. Chinchillas are quite large for a small pet and they are very active so they need plenty of space. The minimum cage size for a pair is around 1m x 1.5m floor space, by 1.3m tall, with shelves at different heights. Chinchillas should be allowed out for supervised exercise as much as possible and at least once a day. In the bottom of the cage use dustextracted bedding or shredded paper. Chinchillas need an enclosed bed to sleep in during the day. This needs to be big enough for all the animals in the cage to curl up together if they want to, but there should be enough boxes for each chinchilla in case they want their own space. Wooden boxes are ideal, but whatever you use will eventually be chewed and need replacing.

INTRODUCING CHINCHILLAS To introduce a new chinchilla to one you already have, put them in separate cages side by side, about 10cm apart. This way they can smell each other without physical contact. Put their beds at opposite ends of the cages so they feel they have somewhere to escape to. Give each chinchilla its own dust bath, butswap these over daily so that they get used to each other’s scent. Over a week or so, move the cages and beds closer until the chinchillas are sleeping next to each other. It’s important to introduce them slowly to avoid fights. When the two seem to be living happily side by side, put the existing chinchilla into the new chinchilla’s cage. They may take to each other straight away or there may be some initial squabbling. If this seems serious, separate them again for a few more days, but things should

eventually settle down. It’s usually easier to introduce animals of the opposite sex (make sure the male is neutered first) or to introduce a young chinchilla to an adult.

EXERCISE AND TRAINING CHINCHILLAS Chinchillas are nocturnal, so they’ll be asleep for most of the day. They are most active in the early evening so this is a good time to get them out for a run. Make sure they’re supervised because they like to explore everything with their teeth and this can include electrical wires. Before allowing your chinchillas out to run around the house, you need to be confident that you can catch them again. Chinchillas can become tame with a little time and training. When your chinchilla comes forward, stroke it gently under the chin. Do not try to catch them the first time this happens, just give them a treat and let go so they don’t associate you with being caught. Raisins are one of their favourite treats so offer these from your hand. Be careful because a frightened chinchilla will stand on its back legs and spray urine in the face of any potential threat! Once your chinchilla is confidently taking treats and allowing you to stroke it, you can let it out. Start with quite a small space and then try offering a treat so your pet learns to come to your hand. Don’t try to catch your chinchilla yet but give the treat and let go again a few times. To pick up your chinchilla, support the whole body on your hand and gently restrain them by holding the base of the tail. Never pick a chinchilla up by the tail – this can hurt them and could cause a serious injury. A frightened chinchilla that is being too strongly held will shed handfuls of fur so, if this happens, you are being far too rough.

HOW TO CLEAN A CHINCHILLA? In the wild, chinchillas use fine sand to keep their coats clean and in prime condition and you need to provide this for them in the form of a dust bath. Chinchilla dust can be bought from most pet shops. Never use ordinary sandpit or builders’ sand as this is too coarse and will damage the chinchilla’s fur and skin. The bath needs to be large and deep enough for your chinchilla to roll around in without injuring itself, so the dust should be about 10cm deep. Chinchillas should be offered a bath once a day, for about 20 minutes. If the bath is left longer than this, it may become soiled and your chinchilla won’t want to use it. Change the dust at least once a week. Also check their eyes because a buildup of dust can cause eye problems.

WHAT DO CHINCHILLAS EAT? Chinchillas are herbivores and, in their native South America, they eat grasses, low-growing green plants and chew the bark off trees. Chinchillas need a diet high in fibre and protein but low in moisture and fat. High fat foods will give them liver disease and greens which are too lush will cause colic or make them

bloated. A diet lacking in fibre causes poor gut movement, allows their teeth to become overgrown and can even lead to fur chewing. They also need a high vitamin C diet, so they must not be fed rabbit mix. Chinchilla foods are available to buy in pet shops. The pellet type is best because with mixes your chinchilla may pick out favourite bits, leading to an unbalanced diet. The pellets you feed your chinchilla should be rationed to about one tablespoon per day for a healthy adult. Pellets are not enough on their own though – chinchillas also need a constant supply of good quality hay. Put the hay in a small rack and refill it every day. As with all animals, make sure there’s a constant supply of fresh drinking water.

CHINCHILLA TREATS Raisins and sultanas are ideal treats for chinchillas and can be used as a reward in training too. Avoid feeding your chinchilla too many though to make sure they still see raisins as a treat. Some chinchillas also enjoy a little slice of fresh vegetable, like carrot, but take care not to give them too much because it may cause diarrhoea. Peanuts and sunflower seeds should be avoided, as they are too high in fat. Do not give them too many treats because this can cause an upset stomach.

CHINCHILLA DENTAL CARE As with all rodents, chinchilla teeth are always growing so they need plenty of hard material to eat and chew on. A piece of apple wood or rodent toys from pet shops for them to nibble will help prevent dental problems. Sadly, even the best-kept chinchilla may develop problems with their teeth and these can become serious if left untreated. Signs to look out for include reluctance to eat, drooling and wetness under the chin and runny eyes. If your chinchilla shows any of these symptoms it’s important to ask your vet to check their teeth.

HOW TO STOP CHINCHILLAS FUR CHEWING Fur chewing may be a sign of stress, boredom or poor diet. Chinchillas are social animals and need the companionship of another chinchilla. If you do have just one you need to spend lots of time keeping them entertained – grooming, playing and handling – but please do consider getting a second chinchilla for company. Chinchillas that are not given hay may start to chew their own or their companions’ fur to make up for the lack of fibre in their diet. If you move house or move your chinchilla to a new location in your house, this could cause stress-related fur chewing. Whatever the cause, fur chewing is a difficult habit to break so prevention is better than cure.

A great part of the fun of wining and dining in Tenerife is finding somewhere different and it’s well worth a trip out to Santa Ursula to the warm and inviting Donde Mario. Though from the outside you might easily pass by it, the inside is elegant and captivating. Restaurateur Mario Torres surpises us every day with his extensive use of produce in season, and his unbeatable experience with wines and cookery. Just try his Cherne warm salad, a super-healthy Canarian fish soup, or his Lomo de Vaca Morucha. You will be surprised.

Set in a series of old Canary houses, this restaurant is made up of a labyrinth of inter-connecting rooms leading off from the bar area in the centre. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an English country pub with its low ceilings with wooden beams and warm décor. The food is fundamentally Canarian. They grow most of their own produce at their allotment and only use olive oil to cook with. Their ethos is a simple one, only use the best, fresh produce and cook it with thought and care. The menu is described as Picoteo, slightly more than tapas without reaching the full-blown three-course meal status. It’s delicious and affordable.

Why not try a touch of “picoteo”, the Spanish-style of eating where, as the name suggests, you pick a selection of dishes and share with your companions. You will find “El Calderito de la Abuela” in Santa Úrsula and it offers a unique and homely atmosphere combining Canary cuisine with modern creativity. This is already an award-winning restaurant and it’s not surprising that this year, it has again scooped a TripAdvisor accolade. The exterior of this property belies what you will find inside as it is full of charm and carácter and there is an incredible view of La Orotava valley. “A gem” is how it is described.

Cave of the Winds set to expand as more visitors discover fascinating attraction

VOLCANIC TUBE

ENERIFE Cabildo has unveiled plans to improve and expand the facilities of the “Cueva del Viento” (“Cave of the Winds”), already a successful tourist attraction in Icod de los Vinos. The authority says it wants to enhance its appeal whilst still giving it maximum protection within its special conservation area. With the confines in place, the authority is looking at expanding the tourist and cultural offer of what is already considered one of the most important tourist attractions of the island. The Cueva del Viento is regarded as the largest volcanic tube of the European Union and is set within a

protected zone. Miguel Ángel Pérez, councillor responsible for the area, and councillor for museums, Amaya Conde, have held a coordination meeting to study future actions. They say this is a “great opportunity” to energise the area and to attract more people, as well as improving the current visitor centre. The councillors stress that the objective is “to adapt and improve this enclave to bring

it closer to the inhabitants of the municipality as well as tourists who visit it daily.” La Cueva del Viento is not only the largest volcanic tube in the European Union but also the fourth longest in the world. It owes its name to the important currents of air that originate in its interior. Visits began in 2008, and it has become, over the years, one of the most relevant points of interest of the island. In fact, in 2014 , an attendance of more than 15,100 people was recorded. For adults, admission costs 16 euros (ten for residents) and five euros for children up to 14 years. The visit, which is accompanied by a guide, lasts approximately two hours and its level of difficulty is medium. In its more than 17 kilometres in length, there are three levels of different passages and geomorphological phenomena, such as moors, terraces and other lava formations. La Cueva was formed 27,000 years ago in basaltic lava from

the first eruptive phase of the Pico Viejo volcano. It constitutes an enormous labyrinthine network of underground passages, and there are innumerable ramifications still unexplored, which will allow

to extend its length in the future. The greatest biological relevance of this volcanic cavity is its underground fauna, which is a constant source of new findings. The

cave houses a total of 190 known species, most of them invertebrates.

A fashion jury will be looking for young new talent to join the fashion industry and help promote it. Go along if interested. The masterclass by Toni & Guy is at 8pm on Thursday, May 18th in the Infanta Leonor Auditorium in Los Cristianos. Those interested in attending this event will be able to attend for free, they will only have to get their invitations through the platform ‘Ticketea’.

Tips to help or prevent leg cramps B

The ups and downs of bipolar disorder

HARMLESS CONDITION?

EG cramps are a common and usually harmless condition where the muscles in your leg suddenly become tight and painful.

It usually occurs in the calf muscles, although it can affect any part of your leg, including your feet and thighs. After the cramping has passed, you may have pain and tenderness in your leg for several hours. Three out of four cases occur at night during sleep.

What causes leg cramps? Leg cramps can occur for no apparent reason, known as idiopathic leg cramps, or as a symptom or complication of a health condition,

known as secondar y leg cramps. Causes of secondary leg cramps can include pregnancy, exercise, certain types of medication, such as statins (medicines that help lower cholesterol levels) or liver disease. During a cramp, your muscles suddenly contract (shorten), causing pain in your leg. This is known as a spasm, and you cannot control the affected muscle. The cramp can last from a few seconds to ten minutes. When the spasm passes, you will be able to control the affected muscle again.

half of your feet on a step, with your heels hanging off the edge. Slowly lower your heels so that they are below the level of the step. Hold for a few seconds before lifting your heels back up to the starting position. Repeat a number of times. Medication is usually only needed in the most persistent cases where cramping does not respond to exercise. If you have secondary leg cramps, treating the underlying cause may help relieve your symptoms. Leg cramps that occur during pregnancy should pass after the baby is born. Treating cramps that occur as a result of serious liver disease can be more difficult. Your treatment plan may include using medications such as muscle relaxants.

When to see your GP Speak to your GP if your leg cramps are affecting your quality of life; for example, if you have frequent leg cramps or they are interfering with your sleep. Your GP will ask about your symptoms and examine your legs and feet. They may also ask if you have other symptoms, such as numbness or swelling, which may be a sign that you have secondar y leg cramps caused by an underlying condition. In this case, you may need further tests, such as blood tests and urine tests, to rule out other conditions.

Treating leg cramps Most cases of leg cramps can be relieved by exercising the affected muscles. Exercising your legs during the day will often help reduce how often you get cramping episodes.

Stretches To stretch your calf muscles, stand with the front

Preventing leg cramps

If you often get leg cramps, regularly stretching the muscles in your lower legs may help prevent the cramps or reduce their frequency. You might find it useful to stretch your calves before you go to bed each night (see stretching advice above or try this post-exercise calf stretch).

The following night-time advice may also help:

If you lie on your back, make sure that your toes point upwards –placing a pillow on its side at the end of your bed, with the soles of your feet propped up against it may help keep your feet in the right position. If you lie on your front, hang your feet over the end of the bed – this will keep your feet in a relaxed position and help stop the muscles in your calves from contracting and tensing. Keep your sheets and blankets loose.

IPOLAR disorder, formerly known as manic depression, is a condition that affects your moods, which can swing from one extreme to another.

People with bipolar disorder have periods or episodes of depression – feeling very low and lethargic or mania, which is feeling very high and overactive (less severe mania is known as hypomania). Symptoms of bipolar disorder depend on which mood you’re experiencing. Unlike simple mood swings, each extreme episode of bipolar disorder can last for several weeks (or even longer), and some people may not experience a “normal” mood very often.

Depression You may initially be diagnosed with clinical depression before having a future manic episode (sometimes years later), after which you may be diagnosed with bipolar disorder. During an episode of depression, you may have overwhelming feelings of worthlessness, which can potentially lead to thoughts of suicide. If you’re feeling suicidal or having severe depressive symptoms, contact your GP, care co-ordinator or local mental health emergency services as soon as possible. If you want to talk to someone confidentially, call the Samaritans, free of charge, on 116 123. You can talk to them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Alternatively, visit the Sama-ritans website or email jo@sa-maritans.org.

Mania During a manic phase of bipolar disorder, you may feel very happy and have lots of energy, ambitious plans and ideas. You may spend large amounts of money on things you can’t afford and wouldn’t normally want. Not feeling like eating or sleeping, talking quickly and becoming annoyed easily

are also common characteristics of this phase. You may feel very creative and view the manic phase of bipolar as a positive experience. However, you may also experience symptoms of psychosis, where you see or hear things that aren’t there or become convinced of things that aren’t true.

Living with bipolar disorder The high and low phases of bipolar disorder are often so extreme that they interfere with everyday life. However, there are several options for treating bipolar disorder that can make a difference. They aim to control the effects of an episode and help someone with bipolar disorder live life as normally as possible. The following treatment options are available: Medication to prevent episodes of mania, hypomania (less severe mania) and de-pression – these are known as mood stabilisers and are taken every day on a long-term basis. Medication to treat the main symptoms of depression and mania when they occur. Learning to recognise the triggers and signs of an episode of depression or mania. Psychological treatment – such as talking therapy, which can help you deal with depression, and provides advice about how to improve your relationships. Lifestyle advice – such as doing regular exercise, planning activities you enjoy that give you a sense of achieve-ment, as well as advice on improving your diet and getting more sleep. It’s thought using a combination of different treatment methods is the best way to control bipolar disorder. Help and advice for people with a long-term condition or their carers is also available from charities, support groups and associations.

All you need to know about dental implants

MPLANTOLOGY has a broad background in the History of Medicine. Human kind has been implanting external materials inside the human body to aid the healing of flesh and bones for thousands of years, and all over the world. As the British Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining quotes, in Neolithic, Ancient Egypt or Middle Ages, the materials used could be animal tendons, thorns or even the jaws of black ants in South America. Remains of successful biomaterials like the mother of pearl -completely resorbed by the body and used like dental implants by the Mayans- have also been found hundreds of years later. According to the non-profit researcher International Congress of Oral Implantology, a dental implant is a “replacement for the root or roots of a tooth. Like tooth roots, dental implants are secured in the jawbone and are not visible once surgically placed. They are used to secure crowns (the parts of teeth seen in the mouth), bridgework or dentures by a variety of means. They are mostly made of titanium, which is lightweight, strong and biocompatible, which means that it is not rejected by the body”. Nowadays, dental implants have the highest success rate of any implanted surgical device. That is why they are one of the most reliable solutions when loosing a tooth or even the whole denture. The American Academy of Dental Implantology states three characteristics that reveal dental implants’ advantages over other solutions: “the quality of life they offer, cost effectiveness and long term health associated with dental implants”. First of all, this solution is the most “natural looking

replacement”, as professionals are able to create pieces completely adapted to every person’s mouth and physical appearance. Furthermore, dental implants “don’t slip while we talk, laugh or eat, since they are anchored to the jawbone”. Regarding the cost, dental implants may look an expensive option at first sight, but its long lasting nature makes them a cheaper option in the long term. Finally, and most important than aesthetics, it’s the “oral health-related quality they offer”, since they “stimulate healthy bone formation and behave like natural teeth”. The success of this solution has also a spectacular impact in economic data. According to the market researcher KeyStone, currently in Spain, the fourth economy in dental industry in Europe (ahead even the United Kingdom), the size of the whole market of dentistry exceeds 660 millions of euros, and Implantology is the area which achieve the highest market share -31,7%-, as the Spanish Federation of Healthcare Technology Companies (FENIN) affirms. And

it’s a market that continues growing. For example in 2007, a 57% of Spanish clinics offered dental implants treatments, while in 2012 this percentage reached 82%, according to Key-Stone. Eventually, patients and clinics are more conscious about the benefits of dental implants over other treatments. In particular, the American Academy of Dental Implantology lists other reasons why dental implants are “often the first choice and a standard care compared to other options to restore missing teeth”: - They are strong and stable, and function like natural teeth. - While tooth supported dental bridges last until 10

years if cared properly, dental implants may last a lifetime. - They also allow speaking easily, as they function as natural teeth. - Dental implants permit biting naturally and eating anything you want without worrying about embarrassing situations. - Cavities can’t occur with implant-restored crowns. - They don’t move, as they are fixed and fuse naturally with the jawbone. - They also protect your healthy teeth, as they help prevent adjacent teeth from moving as they would if there was an empty space for a long time. - They are more predictable that other restoration methods. However, we must never forget consulting the specialists before making this decision. A professional team must analyze your case and inform you about being an ideal candidate for this treatment. Many factors may affect this decision, specially related to the health of the patient. Diabetes, cancer or gum disease may affect dental im-plants, and a study of the models of your mouth and bite must be done previously. For more information, you can consult specialized clinics in implantology like Artedental, in Puerto de la Cruz, with demonstrated expertise and over 4.000 implants placed by its team.

HELPFUL TIPS

Cancer and coping with hair loss

OME cancer treatments can make your hair fall out but wigs, cold caps and other products are available to help you cope.

Hair loss from cancer treatment can affect people in different ways. Some treatments cause only partial hair loss or thinning, while others cause people to lose hair from all over their body. Different types of chemotherapy drugs have varying effects, while radiotherapy causes hair loss only in the area where treatment is focused. Your doctor can advise you about what to expect.

Planning for hair loss If you would like to wear a wig, you may find it helpful to visit a wig specialist before your cancer treatment to help match your hair colour and style. Another good tip is to get your hairdresser to style the wig on you.

Cutting your hair Some people are more comfortable cutting their hair very short before undergoing therapy. This means that hair loss will not seem as dramatic when it happens.

Cold caps during chemotherapy A cold cap is a hat that is worn during some chemotherapy treatments. Its cooling effect reduces blood flow to the scalp, which also reduces the amount of chemotherapy medication that reaches this area. This helps prevent hair loss. It’s usually worn for 15 minutes before each chemotherapy treatment.

Eyebrows, eyelashes and make-up With some chemotherapies, people might also lose their eyebrows and eyelashes. Make-up, eyebrow pencil, eyeliner or false eyelashes can help and many cancer support groups have workshops to help patients learn how to use these techniques.

Types of wig There are two main types of wig – synthetic and real hair. Synthetic wigs are created from man-made fibres, last for six to nine months and cost between £50 and £200. Wigs made from real hair last for up to three or four years and cost between £200 and £2,000. Depending on your circumstances, the NHS might be able to help you with the expense involved.

Top basketball player to hold children’s campus Los Gigantes to host in Santa Cruz second Mountain POPULAR RACE

Santa Cruz will host in June the Campus of Basketball of Sergio Rodríguez

IMED at children born between 2007 and 2001, it will be held from June 26th to 30th and will have the daily presence of the prestigious player from Tenerife. The event is being coorganised by the Tenerife Basketball Federation (FITB), in collaboration with the Autonomous Sports Organisation (OAD) of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council. The initiative was presented by the Mayor of the city, José Manuel Bermúdez, along with the councillor for sports, Veronica Meseguer; president of the Insular Federation of Basketball of Tenerife, Rafael González; and campus coordinator, José Carlos Rivero. Sr. Bermúdez said that for the capital “it is a pride and honour that a player like Sergio Rodríguez chose Santa Cruz to

develop his summer campus. He is an example for the little ones and I am convinced that all enrolled will learn a lot from him “. Veronica Meseguer said the initiative “is a great opportunity to enjoy basketball with one of the best players in the European and world scene. Rodriguez is a reference for all and it’s just a pity I am no longer a young girl to be able to join in!” Sergio Rodríguez said he was delighted to be holding a campus on his home island. He had experienced some difficult summers but returning to the NBA “makes

everything easier”. “As a child I always dreamed of having an opportunity in my city to learn and understand this game and to enjoy practicing it. At the same time it is also a great responsibility, but I assume it with pride and joy. I have played in the best pavilions and courts in the world, but I know that when I step on the Paco Álvarez annex again it will be very special because I grew up playing there, “he said. The team of the Philadelphia 76ers will participate daily in the campus sessions, aimed at boys and girls with dates of births between 2001 and 2007, inclusive. The organisation offers a total of 200 places and the inscriptions can be made through the link of the website of the federation (www.fibtenerife.com), at the price of 150 euros, with daily lunch included. The chosen sites to develop this activity are the pavilions Quico Cabrera and Paco Álvarez, as well as the annex to Paco Álvarez, the tennis courts located in the complex and the Juan Santamaría football field. The ‘Campus Chacho’ is sponsored by Fuente Alta and Adidas, and the collaboration of the Escuela Santa Cruz Hotel, Hospital Parque and Cajasiete.

MOUNTAIN COURSE

Great team support for second Vuelta Trail

A Laguna sport’s department is putting the finishing touches to the 2017 Vuelta Trail, which will run its second edition on Saturday, May 27th. Entries will close on May 25th but more than 20 teams have already submitted their registrations. Those interested in formalising the process can do so on the website of the OAD (www.oadlaguna.com) or in the offices of the autonomous Oorganisation (C / Captain Brotons, 5), from 9am to 1.30pm. Following on from the success of the first edition, La Laguna council says it is delighted with the response so far and this was confirmed when the first Trail came to a close last spring. A change for 2017 is the creation of a mixed category. The teams must be composed in this case by three women and three men, plus two reserves, equally a man and a woman. This event involves relay teams over a course of 68

kilometres, run mostly in the mountains of Anaga. The competition will have six stages, with the departure in the plaza of the Cathedral and arrival at the Estadio Francisco Peraza. The departure is scheduled for 8.30am and it is expected to conclude around 6pm. The first stage (7.7 km, 8.30am) will join the Plaza de la Catedral with Jardina. The second will go from Jardina to Las Carboneras (12.6 km, 9.30am). The third one will leave Las Carboneras to La Punta, (9.3 km, 10am). The fourth stage will start from La Punta to Cruz del Carmen (13.1 km, noon). The fifth will go from Cruz del Carmen to Las Canteras (16.3 km, 3pm). The sixth and final stage will go from Las Canteras to the Estadio Francisco Peraza (8.8 km, 5pm).

Success in adapted stick-fighting for centre users

OLD TRADITION

HE old Canary art of stick-fighting or “garrote” has been helping users of the San Miguel de Abona Occupational Centre (Amisur).

They have been enjoying an adapted form of the sport, so much so that they the centre recently won the first prize in a local tournament. José Luis Donate won the individual award in the same competition. The third Championship of Adapted Garrote was held in the sports pavilion Ríos Tejera in La Laguna. The Mayor of San Miguel and the councillor for sport, Arturo González and Víctor Chinea, accompanied by other

members of the council, congratulated the users, teachers and management team for this achievement and encouraged them to continue. Practising Canary stickfighting not only helps to keep the sport alive but for users of such a centre, encourages

mobility and arm movement, as well as bringing the benefits

of social participation and team-work.

Record entry for 2017 Binter Super league, NightRun super team

HE Mayor of Arona, José Julián Mena, accompanied by the head of the Department of sports, Juan Sebastián Roque, received the players, technical team and board of Superleague 2 of Volleyball Arona Playa de Las Américas, which have become a new team of the highest category of women’s volleyball, becoming league champions. The team led by Gabriel Navarro and president of the Olympic Jaime Fernandez Barros, will play next season in the Super League Iberdrola, bearing the name of Arona throughout the national territory.

RGANISERS of the 2017 Binter NightRun of Santa Cruz expect to hit their target of 2,500 competitors.

The ambitious aim was announced following the successful conclusion of last year’s event and though it seemed a tall order at the time, it now looks as though it will be achieved. The event takes place on May 20th and features two distances, one over five kilometres and the other over ten. This makes the race one of the best on the island. The athletes will leave from avenida Francisco La Roche at 9pm. There is very little change to the course except that the runners on the longer route will go through the new tunnel in avenida de Anaga. Entries have now closed. Spectators are being welcomed to what promises to be a spectacular event with a great party atmosphere.

Bank profits at risk from rising mortgage claims T HE Bank of Spain warns in its latest financial stability report that legal action against Banks for abusive mortgage clauses is another risk factor.

Rising legal costs related to abusive mortgage clauses, coupled with negative interest rates, are eroding bank profits, points out the Spanish banking regulator. Spanish banks are facing a tsunami of claims against them for abusive mortgage interest rate floor clauses and not paying their share of mortgage setup costs. Spanish banks set aside €1.9 billion in 2016 to meet the extra legal costs and payouts they will have to make, but it might not be nearly enough. With claims mounting, and courts ruling against banks on an increasing number of fronts, the final bill could be billions of Euros higher.

MORTGAGE CLAIMS If you have a mortgage in Spain, or had one in the last four years, and would like a free no-obligation evaluation of your case to see if you have a claim to make against your lender for an illegal mortgage floor clause, and also to claim back all or part of your mortgage setup fees, fill in the form here: Spanish mortgage refund claims.

Euribor down in April, surprise fall in new lending

Another month, another record low for Euribor, but new mortgage lending hit a wall in February, after seven consecutive months of strong growth.

WELVE month Euribor – the rate used to calculate most mortgage repayments in Spain – came in at -0.119 in March, down from -0.11 in March, and the fourteenth consecutive month of negative Euribor interest rates.

As a result, borrowers in Spain with an annually resetting Spanish mortgage will see their mortgage payments fall by around €6 per month for a typical €120,000 loan with a 20 year term. The Research division of Spanish bank BBVA forecast that Euribor will stabilise this year, and start rising next year. If they are right we will soon see the end of monthly declines in Euribor, which is now deep in negative territory. Get a fixed rate mortgage close to historic lows whilst you still can.

NEW MORTGAGE LENDING FALLS IN FEBRUARY The latest data from the National Institute of Statistics shows that new mortgage lending fell 2.7% in February (yoy) to 24,342 new loans. Mortgage lending had been on a roll, with seven consecutive months of growth to January, so this sudden fall comes as a surprise. It’s too early to tell if it is the start of something or just a one-off. The average residential loan value rose in February, up by 7.2% to €115,883. The average interest rate was 3.17%, down from 3.29% last year, and the average term was 24 years. 38% of new loans had a fixed interest rate, 62% were variable rate mortgages.
