Mental health unit installed for Adeje
21st February - 27th February 2020
By Cliodna O’Flynn
LUCKILY, these days, most people feel comfortable, or certainly more comfortable than previously, when talking about mental health… their mental health. To admit a need to visit a mental health professional in the past was seen as admitting to failure, to a problem that wasn’t
acceptable in public. Today, though, we recognise that mental health issues are as much in need of acknowledgment as they are in need of expert attention, without judgement. If you are feeling physically unwell you see your GP, and if you are feeling unable to cope, you see a mental health professional.
It is good news, then, that the regional government visited Adeje this week to open a new Mental Health Unit, which for now is located in the Adeje School for Security, and will cater for health card holders from Adeje, Guía de Isora and Santiago del Teide: 57,650 in total. According to regional Health Minister Teresa Cruz Oval, who was in the centre earlier this week, the unit has been opened “to improve the wellbeing of the whole of the region”. She added that the unit would guarantee patients’ privacy and the attention they require, with, according to the Canarian Health Services Mental Health Director Natalia Brito: “Individual consultations, group therapy, relaxation classes and all that is needed to attend to the mental health needs of the area.” The Minister, who accompanied Adeje Mayor José Miguel Rodriguez Fraga and the borough’s Health Councillor Amada Trujillo Bencomo, said this was only a part of the government’s plans for borough, with the opening of a new health centre in the Costa Adeje zone very soon. Given the size of the population of Adeje, as well as the annual influx of visitors, it is sorely needed.
Mini-tremors are flooding the south THE National Geographic institute registered around 82 mini-tremors, in and around Teide’s National Park, last month.
In all, 175 tremors to date have been recorded across the archipelago since the start of 2020. Half of the tremors happened in January, specifically around Villa Flor, Teides-Pico Viejo, Guia de Isora and Los Realejos. Already this month, 20 mini-tremors have been recorded by the National Geographic institute, and on 17th February, a tremor was recorded in La Guancha, registering 0.1, at a depth of
three metres, on the Richter scale. Experts have ruled out these mini-tremors having anything to do with volcanic activity. They say there is no significant deformation of
the terrain, and no significant changes of the terrain in any of the geomagnetic network system. The highest magnitude registered on the Richter from these mini-tremors was
3.3, at a depth of 30km, and recorded 2km off the southeast coast of El Hierro, at 5.13am on 26th January. In February alone, 16 tremors have been registered in El Hierro, specifically around
the south coast, with magnitudes between 1.4 and 3.3 registering on the Richter scale. There has been constant seismic activity between Gran Canaria and Tenerife, recorded at two particular points, mainly in the Enmedio Volcano area, situated between both islands, as well as off the Guimar coast. The National Geographic institute has already recorded 68 tremors this year in these areas, with magnitudes registered between 2.7 and 0.6 on the Richter Scale. As well as these areas, five tremors were registered in south Tenerife, the highest magnitude registering at 1.6, along with three in La Palma, with magnitudes of between 1.12 and 1.4.

T h e young beauty, crowned Queen at last after missing out on three previous occasions, held up the sceptre, while being admired by nearly 6,000 spectators, as she showed off her sensational, silver-andblue “Sentir” design. It was created by Sedomir Rodríguez de la Sierra, and she was representing La Laguna’s Al Campo shopping centre. Sara embraced the audience and judges with her grace and elegance, as her design came alive on stage, and later said that she was dedicating her victory to her grandmother, who suffers from Alzheimer’s. This year’s Court of Honour-winning candidates were: First Lady, Maria José Chinea, who wore a Jorge González Santana design, and represented Fuentealta; Second Lady, Laura García Repo, clothed in a Borja Abreu design, representing Ron La Indiana; Third Lady, Judith Miguélez, with a design by Dani Pages, represented McDonald’s and El Dia newspaper. And, finally, Fourth Lady Elizabeth Ledesma was dressed in a Santi Castro design, and represented Carrefour.

A BABY, born on a rickety boat bound for the Canary Islands, was one of 87 sub-Saharan Africa migrants rescued overnight by caring Spanish people last Friday. The migrants were travelling in three boats, which were picked up just south of Gran Canaria, said a spokeswoman for the Salvamento Maritimo rescue service. “A new-born baby was rescued, and it seems that the mother gave birth in the boat just beforehand,” she added, without specifying the infant’s sex. But she said that both mother and
Migrant born aboard boat to the Canaries baby were “doing well”. There were 54 people, spread across the first two boats, which were picked up last Thursday evening, about 60 nautical miles south of Gran Canaria, and rescuers came across another vessel carrying 33 people, as the boat was just off the island. Among those rescued were 30 women, six babies and four other children, while the rest were men, and they were all taken to the southern port of Arguinerin. In early January, another baby was born aboard a
makeshift boat carrying 43 migrants. But, sadly, it
did not survive the journey, and was declared dead
on arrival in Lanzarote. In January, the number of migrants reaching the Canaries soared to 708, which was 18 times the volume of a year ago, when it stood at 40, raising fears of a resurgence of migrant traffic to the Atlantic islands, a route taken by tens of thousands of people a decade ago. Since Morocco began a crackdown on illegal immigration, there has been an increasing number of people trying to reach the Spanish islands by boat, from Mauritania, whose coastline lies 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) to the south. As well as the Canaries route, other migrants have sought to sail to mainland Spain from Algeria’s northern coast.

Brits in Spain warned to carry ID with them
BRITS travelling to Spain have been warned to keep their passports on them at all times… or risk being detained! The warning comes from the UK’s Foreign Office, which reiterates that police in Spain have the right to demand to see IDs. If you fail to provide a valid document, they can detain you, and, despite popular belief, a driving licence is not sufficient. Only a passport, or a highquality photocopy, is acceptable.
The fresh warning comes ahead of a Manchester City away clash with Real Madrid on Wednesday (26th Feb). Police can even escort foreign visitors back to their hotels or accommodation, and request to see their ID, or original document. “The police have the right to hold you at a police station until your identity is confirmed,” the Foreign Office warns on its website. “Always take care of your passport, as obtaining a replacement is costly and timeconsuming. “Remember to keep a photocopy or scanned copy of your passport somewhere safe.”
Vargas said the work would see all public lighting changed, with a short and long-term benefit, financially and environmentally. “We have mapped out energy consumption in the

borough, and we know that public lighting is where consumption is highest,” she said. “The new system will see us using energy, but only where it is needed. “This is a project to see more efficient and effective public services, and soon we hope to add a smart system, which will also help towards efficient use of lighting.” The €125,000 change-over cost is one of more than 50 actions the Council has included in its strategic plan to combat climate change.

Cave-man caught by an inside blaze A 69-YEAR-OLD man suffered multiple serious injuries last Saturday night after being caught in a fire inside an Adeje cave, which is his home. The emergency services were alerted at around 9.30pm, with fire-fighters and an ambulance dis-
patched to the scene. Upon arrival, the fire-fighters began to extinguish the flames, while the medical team tended to the burns the man had suffered. Because of their severity, he was taken to Hospiten Sur for treatment, and, once stabilised, he was then transferred to Candelaria Hospital for further emergency treatment, along with close observation.
Woman, 50, is critical after nearly drowning
A WOMAN aged 50 was in a critical condition after being saved from drowning at Playa de Garachico last Sunday afternoon. A call was made to the emergency services, requesting medical assistance, just moments after the woman was pulled from the water,
An ambulance was dispatched after the caller told the operator the swimmer was struggling for breath. When the medical team arrived, they stabilised the woman, who was in a serious condition. Once she was made more comfortable, she was taken to Candelaria Hospital for further treatment. The Guardia Civil attended the scene to verify the events that had occurred.
Not quite Aintree, but it’s okay for this horse
14 migrants perish as sea, including two youngsters
LOCAL Police from Granadilla were asked to help rescue a horse, which had escaped from its stable last Sunday morning and finished up on the busy TF-1.
AT least 14 people died on Monday, including two small children, after their small patera was spotted floating while on route to the Canary Islands.
Several emergency calls were made, reporting sightings on a lane heading north, inside the Abona municipality. When officers found the bold animal, it was trotting along the motorway, and Guardia Civil officers attended the scene to help retrieve it. Traffic had to be controlled by officers, naturally, while
The tragedy happened close to Western Sahara, and the Info migrants website posted some information, giving details about the incident. Sadly, the post said that among the 14 who perished were the two children. The post also stated that a crew member from a fishing boat, who spotted the small vessel afloat in the waters, said the
the lanes were closed, provisionally, so the horse could be rescued from the busy road. The horse was duly rescued and returned to its owner, and there were no complications reported from the unusual incident.

patera had already been at sea for three days, on route to the Canaries. Unfortunately, because of the strong currents, the boat was set adrift which, along with the lack of food and water, led to several people dying. The fishing boat alerted the Moroccan Navy, which, in turn, assisted in the emergency rescue. But there were few survivors. The migrants were mainly from Guinea and Cote d’Ivoire, but this was not the first humanitarian tragedy to have happened in waters close to the archipelago. Since last August, the route used by sub-Saharans has again become popular,
although, last December, 63 people lost their lives there. On Tuesday, a Canarian search-and-rescue team attended to 30 people in trouble. And, on this occasion, they rescued just about everyone, including a baby. The team had spotted the vessel some 55km off the coast of Gran Canaria. All 30 were taken ashore, where the Red Cross were waiting to attend to them. Since last Monday, the Spanish emergency services have been searching for five patera, which, they were told, had left the Saharan coast last weekend, heading towards the archipelago and carrying around 143 individuals.

Building features structural cracks
A BUILDING at Cabo Blanco, which is occupied by around 40 homes, is being examined by municipal technicians. It follows complaints to the Local Police by several residents, about the appearance of cracks in the structure. The residents associate them with work being carried out by a bank on the property’s ground floor. The block, which stands in calle San Martín de Porres, has not been sealed off, and those who live there are awaiting the results from municipal technicians, before any action is taken.
OFER Deshe, 50-yearold Head of Experience Design and Research at supermarket giants Tesco, died last Thursday after getting into difficulties while paddle-boarding near Lanzarote’s Famara Beach pier. He was rescued from the water by surfers, but went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at the scene. Israeli-born Mr Deshe, from Bath, had lived in the UK for around 30 years. Design boss Jason Mesut wrote in a social media tribute: “RIP Ofer Deshe. A long-time peer and competitor, and more recently a colleague and a friend. Was looking forward to meeting him next week to discuss working together again.” A Tesco statement said: “We’re extremely sad to hear about this tragic news and our thoughts are with Ofer’s family and friends. He was a much-loved and valued part of the Tesco family, who will be greatly missed.” Emergency responders were alerted just after 3.30pm, and a Guardia Civil spokesman said: “There is nothing to indicate the death is in any way suspicious. But the

camera, but police were able to discover who he was after spotting him leaving a nearby apartment on CCTV to head to the water.” It is not known whether he was on holiday in Lanzarote alone, or with family or friends. Mr Deshe described himself as a keen sportsman, whose main passions were swim-
ming, surfing and paddleboarding. Famara Beach, regarded as the most spectacular beach in the Teguise municipality, is popular with water-sports enthusiasts, including body-boarders, kite-surfers and windsurfers, as well as paragliders, who launch themselves off the top of the Famara massif.

Canaries now 100% clear of deadly virus THE Canary Islands’ Ministry of Health has confirmed that a German tourist, the first patient in the Canary Islands diagnosed with coronavirus (renamed COVID 19), has been discharged from La Gomera’s General Hospital.
He had produced a negative result in a test sent to Madrid’s National Centre for Microbiology in the Carlos III Health Institute in Madrid. As well as being the first patient, his four travel companions, regarded as suspects, have also been given a clean bill of health. They are all now free to do what they like, since no restrictions have been put in place by specialised medical personnel. Teresa Cruz Oval, the Canaries’ Minister of Health, thanked all those who treated the infected patient, and showed “exemplary and collaborative” behaviour at all times during his care. She also praised the “excellent co-ordination of all professionals involved in the situation, from the General Directorate of Public Health of the SCS to the General Directorate of Security and Emergencies, whose intervention has been decisive in identifying those in close contact with the infected patient.” In addition, Ms Oval highlighted the work of the management teams at La Gomera’s General Hospital, the University Hospital Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria and La Gomera’s Directorate of the Health Area, giving special thanks to “doctors and nurses who have been in close contact with the German tourists”. She reassured the population that, in recent weeks, specific training had been given to hospital and out-ofhospital managers throughout the Canary Islands’ health system. It is understood that a Canary Islands Scientific Committee has been created for the preparation and response to emergency health situations.

Spanish Government to tighten tobacco law
SALVADOR Illa, Spain’s Health Minister, has revealed that a law on tobacco will be more restrictive, and that his ministry is already reviewing tax on tobacco products. “We will not be relaxing our fight against smoking,” said Illa, whose ministers are
contemplating a ban on people smoking in vehicles carrying children. The Ministry will be considering “new forms of smoking”, such as vaping, which demand regulation. Scientific evidence, he noted, had shown that vaping was not “innocuous”. But, switching his attention to the coronavirus, Illa said there had been “no publichealth reason” for Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress to have been cancelled.
He would not speculate why it had been called off, but stressed that the Ministry’s consideration was the health of all those who attend such events, as well as the health of Spanish citizens in general. Illa added: “The system of early detection in Spain is functioning perfectly.” There have been just two positive Spanish cases, in La Gomera and Majorca, out of 38 suspects.

Missing pop cassette found 27 years later after a lengthy swim A CASSETTE tape, lost in Spain by a young girl on the Costa Brava or Mallorca, 27 years ago, has been reunited with its owner.
Stella Wedell, then aged 12, lost her home-made tape of pop songs when on a Spanish holiday. Miraculously, her lost 1990s music mixtape, featuring her favourite pop songs, turned up in a Swedish art gallery, after washing up on a Fuerteventura beach. Artist Mandy Barker, who specialises in photographing marine plastic pollution, found it on a Fuerteventura beach, and the Leeds woman sent the tape to a professional audio restorer. It still played and she was able to list the tracks, which feature on the CD Best Of 93, including hits by Pet Shop Boys, Shaggy, UB40 and Bob Marley. Mandy decided to include it in her Sea Of Artefacts touring exhibition. And last summer Stella, from Berlin, went on holiday to Scandinavia and happened
to visit the exhibition while she was in Stockholm. She was astonished to see the rusty cassette on display, alongside a list of tracks to show its age. Mandy was equally amazed to receive an email from Stella to say it was her tape. Stella said: “When I was reading the track list, it seemed very familiar to me. So I took a picture of it and compared it with the original CD from 1993, which I still have. And it was exactly the same track-list, but starting with track three. “I remember that I didn’t like the first two songs. I always made tapes from my CDs at this time, to listen to them with my Walkman.”
Robber helped himself to contents of vehicles
Mandy said: “It was an astounding chance for Stella to walk into my exhibition and recognise her tape.” She then told Professor Richard Thompson, head of the international marine litter research unit at the University of Plymouth, who said: “It is very difficult to say exactly how long the tape had been in the sea. But the fact that it has survived intact shows the durability of plastic, and the threat it can pose to the marine environment.’ The tape will continue touring as part of the exhibition, before being returned to Stela, and here’s what she’s missed: 1.

Tenerife filming boosts local economy by €20m
A MAN aged 52 has been charged with burglary, after National Police officers caught him breaking into several vehicles, which were parked-up in Las Americas.
The police confirmed in a statement that a total of 25 robberies had been committed since the start of the year, and all in the same manner, the thief smashing a window to enable him to steal whatever was inside. Following his arrest, officers were able to retrieve several stolen goods, hidden in the thief’s home. They were
then returned to their rightful owners. Among the stolen items recovered were several designer sunglasses and other goods, including
speakers and a surfboard. The man, along with the police report, has been presented to the judicial authorities.
THE appearance of the Canary Islands on the silver screen has received a boost, thanks to Tenerife, which hosted over 150 film and TV shoots last year.
In total, there were 750 days of filming, carried out by various film crews during 2019, generating €20 million for the local economy. Most of the productions came from Spain, Germany and the UK, with studios, including Netflix, basing their productions on the island.

Deadly virus doctor is also caught by disease DOCTOR Liu Zhiming (pictured), director of Wuhan Wuchang Hospital in China’s coronavirus epicentre, died from the disease last Monday.
The virus death toll, officially named COVID 19, reached 1,770 in mainland China last Sunday, up by 105 from the previous day, said the country’s National Health Commission. The number of new deaths in China’s central Hubei province from the outbreak rose by 100 in the same period. Across mainland China, there were 2,048 new confirmed infections last Sunday, and the total, accumulated number had reached 70,548. The latest increase in the number of reported new coronavirus cases in Hubei arrived as authorities imposed new, tough restrictions on movement, to prevent the disease spreading. The tighter lockdown on the central province, where the flulike virus originated in December, came as American passengers were taken off a cruise liner on Sunday to be flown home, after being quarantined
for two weeks off Japan. Seventy new coronavirus cases were confirmed on board the Diamond Princess where 3,700 passengers and crew have been held since 3rd February. Some 355 people on board have tested positive for the disease, which is easily the largest cluster of cases outside China. Passengers from Canada, Italy, South Korea and Hong Kong were expected to follow soon, after their governments also announced plans to repatriate them. Chinese health officials have said that two days of falling numbers in new, confirmed cases, shows that their efforts to halt the spread of the virus is bearing fruit.
“The effect of the coronavirus controls is appearing,” said Health Commission spokesman Mi Feng.

Arona is now targeting commercial cardboard
Arona has become the first Tenerife municipality to install cages for the collection of top-quality, commercial cardboard. The pilot test is being carried out in Los Cristianos and Las Galletas as the first stage, but the project will spread throughout the municipality during the year. Both Arona Mayor José Julián Mena and Environment Councillor José Luis Gómez, have stressed: “The objective of Arona Council, in a first phase, is to install about 20 cages in different nuclei of the municipality, in areas where there is a greater business fabric, facilitating the storage and selective collection of cardboard and its subsequent recycling, in the line of commitment to the sustainability of the municipal government.” A campaign is being carried out to promote the correct separation of commercial cardboard, since large quantities of this are currently generated, which, in severe
times, saturate the container points. At present, much of the cardboard is not separated properly at source, either through ignorance, or saturation of the containers, and deposited in the mixed garbage container. This hinders, greatly, its revaluation and subsequent recycling. This strategy aims to increase selective collection in Arona, to meet the objectives of European regulations, and achieve 50% preparation for the reuse and recycling of municipal waste by 2020. It is a pioneering initiative, which has been developed in other municipalities of the archipelago, such as those of Lanzarote’s San Bartolomé and Arrecife, as well as on El Hierro, having a great acceptance by the commercial fabric and the general population. Two cages have, initially, been installed in Valle Menéndez Street and Fernando Salazar González Avenue, in Los Cristianos and Las Galletas, respectively.

FIVE starving dogs, their ears filled with ticks, were rescued after being found abandoned in a Tenerife cave.

Their rescuers took them to the Albergue Comarcal Valle Colino animal shelter, a spokesman saying the dogs had been “living in hell”.

the dogs staring at its rescuers through a metal fence, its ears weighed down by ticks. Another image shows the inside of another dog’s ear, filled with the blood-sucking creatures. And all the images showed the dogs with their ribs and leg bones clearly visible.
Gambling may leave the punters yawning many gambling addicts from seeing or hearing the publicity, but the aim is that the reduced broadcasting hours will prevent children, teenagers, younger adults, and those with standard working hours, from being exposed to them. Other measures are yet to be announced, although some towns in Spain have banned betting shops and amusement arcades from opening anywhere near schools, or from trading before 10pm.
It is likely that high-end professional sports will not be able to get sponsorship from betting firms in the future, particularly football and basketball. And even though the gambling industry invested over €168m last year alone in advertising, Garzón does not intend to “negotiate” with them. He will simply inform them of his decision, and will also plan campaigns to raise awareness, as well as take preventive action.
The poor animals will continue to be treated at the shelter, and vets expect them to be back to full health in around three months, before being put up for adoption.
It is unclear whether the hunter has been arrested for animal abuse, but people on social media were horrified by the images. One said: “Oh my God. At least there was a happy ending. I don’t know how people can sleep when they keep animals in such conditions. Whoever they are deserve to go to prison.” Another added: “Thanks to the kind and compassionate people, who helped to rescue these five innocent animals from their living hell.”

What UK expatriates in Spain need to know about the Withdrawal Agreement By Paul Montague Partner, blevins Franks
NOW that the UK has officially left the EU, the transition period is underway and set to run until 31 December 2020. During this time, very little changes for UK nationals living in Spain, who retain freedom of movement, the right to remain, and access to, broadly, the same benefits as EU citizens. The good news is that anyone lawfully settled in Spain before the transition deadline can lock in today’s citizens’ rights, under the UK/EU Withdrawal Agreement. These benefits are protected for as long you are resident here, but there are currently no protections for UK nationals
LAST year’s cruise traffic at Spanish ports reflected the continuation of two underlying trends within overall growth: ongoing concentration toward the larger ports and passenger growth aboard larger vessels. Cruise passenger numbers grew by 4.8%, to 10.66 million, while vessel calls dipped 2.6% to 4,250.
arriving after 2020. Residence under the Withdrawal Agreement Proof of residence: To be covered by the Agreement, you must be settled in Spain before 31 December 2020, and apply for updated residence documents, before 30 June 2021. Expiry of residency rights: You will lose residence (and associated EU rights) if you are absent from Spain for five, consecutive years. Onward freedom of movement: Protections only apply to the country you are resident in, before the transition period ends. Healthcare under the Withdrawal Agreement Existing entitlements to healthcare will continue for settled residents. The S1 Form system will carry on providing free cover in Spain for British retirees. While the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) will provide free emergency care while travelling in other EU states, UK-issued EHICs may
only remain valid during the transition period. To qualify for permanent residency in Spain, you may be asked for evidence of comprehensive health cover. If you don’t hold form S1, you may need to join the local healthcare system, or have private health insurance. Once you become a permanent resident (available after five years), you qualify for Spanish state healthcare. Pensions under the Withdrawal Agreement UK retirees settled in Spain will continue to receive yearly cost-of-living increases to their State Pension payments. As things stand, Brexit should not affect how you can withdraw or transfer other UK pensions. However, the UK currently applies a 25% “overseas transfer charge” (effectively an exit tax) on pension transfers outside the EU/ EEA. This could be easily extended once the UK is no longer bound by EU freedom of movement of capital, so
there may be limited time to transfer without penalties. Acquiring residence after the transition period When the transition period expires on 31 December 2020, automatic freedom of movement will end for UK nationals, and a new residence application process will apply to live within the EU. We can expect these processes to be much less straightforward than today, particularly if the UK fails to secure new agreements in time. Under current rules for non-EU/ EEA nationals, each individual must be able to demonstrate a minimum income to qualify for residence in Spain, equivalent to the national minimum wage. In any event, it will be easier to secure Spanish residence in 2020, under current rules. Brexit beyond 2020 Currently, 2021 offers three possible scenarios: 1) the UK has a new deal with the EU and the new relationship begins; 2) the transition period
is extended as negotiations continue; or 3) the UK cuts trade ties with the EU (nodeal). The transition period offers a window of certainty if you act this year. By taking steps now to come under the protection of the Withdrawal Agreement, you can lock in a lifetime of rights in Spain, whatever the Brexit outcome. To ensure you are making the most of opportunities within this closing window, and that your financial arrangements are optimised for a post-Brexit world, take specialist, crossborder advice.

A 4.8% growth in cruise passengers during 2019 Over half visited two destinations, and the two largest ports, Barcelona and the Balearic Islands, accounted for 5.8m passengers, more than half the Spanish total. The Canary Islands, including Las Palmas and Tenerife capital Santa Cruz,
added another 2.6m, taking the “Big Four” to a total of 8.4m. The top six cruise ports all recorded fewer port calls than the previous year, notably at Santa Cruz, down by 6.9% to 511 calls, and Barcelona, which slipped by 4.9% to 800 visits.
Barcelona, topping the list of passenger numbers as usual, recorded a modest increase of 3.3% to 3.14m. The Balearic Islands came second, with a robust 9.3% gain, to 2.66m visitors on 818 port calls, taking the lead in the latter category. Third ranking went to Gran
Canaria capital Las Palmas, with 1.49m passengers, which pushed its figures up by a strong 11.5%, aboard 560 calls, down by 4.4%. In fourth position, Santa Cruz de Tenerife handled 1.07m cruise customers, for a 4.6% gain. The No.5 spot was held by Bahia de Cadiz, moving 477,387 passengers, up by a comfortable 12.3%, aboard 333 calls, a minuscule 0.3% slip. Malaga, standing sixth, dropped by 6% to 477,000 passengers, on a 3.7% decline to 288 port calls. In seventh position, Valencia served 435,000 voyagers, up 3.3% on 203 port calls, and an increase of 4.6%. In eighth spot was Cartagena, with a 9% increase to 250,000 passengers aboard 167 calls, up by 10.6%. Standing ninth, A Coruña slipped 10.4% to 160,000 passengers, despite a 14.9% gain in port calls, implying smaller vessels or lower occupancy. Tenth position was divided. Vigo held this slot by passenger count, down 10.6% to 141,00, while Seville took 10th place in vessel calls with a resounding 26.7% increase to 95 visits.

his week’s BEST Monday 24th February, ITV1, 21.00
Flesh and Blood In the aftermath of a family celebration, a body lies on the beach, terribly injured – perhaps dead. But who is it? Just a few weeks earlier, a family of adult siblings is shaken when their recentlywidowed mother, Vivien, announces her love for a new man, retired surgeon Mark. Tensions rise as the siblings’ question why Vivien hasn’t mentioned Mark before and are forced to reassess her entire marriage to their father. Mark seems devoted to her, but isn’t it all a bit sudden? Even Vivien’s neighbour, Mary, is surprised by this turn of events and closely scrutinises the new arrival. She feels protective of Vivien and this family she has known so well and for so long. At the same time, events in the siblings’ own love-lives start to spiral out of control. Vivien’s eldest daughter Helen is overloaded at work, unaware that her family is fracturing as husband George and daughter Lily feel ignored. Middle son Jake is a personal fitness instructor. His marriage with Leila hit the rocks months ago thanks to Jake’s gambling. In order to regain Leila’s trust and put his family back together, he’ll need to pay back his debts. With this in mind, a wealthy client offers him a highly unorthodox solution. Vivien’s youngest daughter, Natalie, has been involved with Tony for nearly five years now. However, she expertly conceals this as Tony happens to be her boss – and also married. Natalie’s growing worry that, despite his promises, Tony will never leave his wife, leads her down a dangerous path. When Vivien suffers a health scare and Mark moves in to look after her, the siblings become alarmed about their mother’s growing dependence on him and suspect that he’s only after her money. But can they overcome years of sibling rivalry to truly put their mother’s health and happiness first?

A Very British History
Episode three: British Bangladeshis. Aminul Hoque, pictured, came to Britain in 1980 as a three year-old, from the young nation of Bangladesh. He explores why thousands of families settled here in the 1970s and 80s, and how they faced hardships and racism while building a new life in Britain. Drawing on rich film archive from the period, meeting those who settled in London and Luton, and through his own experiences growing up in East London, Aminul tells the stories of Bengalis who worked hard, fought racism and made their homes here over the course of two key decades. As his children grow up in the UK, Aminul wants them to know about their own Bangladeshi roots. He takes the family back to where he and his dad came from, his home village in Sylhet province. Now it’s up to his kids to decide if they want to keep the links with their homeland - but as British Bangladeshis.

Back In Time For The Corner Shop The Ardern family is embarking on an extraordinary timetravelling adventure, going back in time to run that great British institution, the corner shop. Fast forwarding through 100 years of shop-keeping they’ll discover how what they sell, how they sell it and who they sell it to reflects the changing world around them. The family, whose great grandparents were shopkeepers, has taken over a former corner shop in Meersbrook, Sheffield. Guided by presenter Sara Cox and social historian Polly Russell, the family of five will spend their summer working in the shop and living upstairs. Starting in the Victorian era they’ll need to bake their own counter goods for the shop, weigh and measure loose goods like tea, flour and sugar by hand, and make deliveries with a horse and cart. In the years to come they’ll discover the huge impact Sheffield’s steel industry would have had on their local customers, face the challenge of administering wartime rations, and experience dizzy excitement at the arrival of innovations like the phone card, Smash Hits and the National Lottery. Originally built to serve around 40 houses for all their daily needs, the Ardens will discover how corner shops had to adapt to meet the changing needs of their customers, from stocking new items to attract the city’s increasingly diverse population, to having plentiful supplies of the must-have make-up and magazines that kept people coming through the door. Through economic ups and downs, two World Wars and the changing face of the city, Back In Time For The Corner Shop reflects the total transformation of British life over the last 100 years. In the first episode of the series the Arderns time-travelling adventure starts in 1897 when the shop - and the suburb around it - was built. With few pre-packaged goods and no self-service, the men of the family must get to grips with a hands-on approach - measuring and weighing out items for customers, who have to sit and wait quite a while to be served. Old fashioned gender roles mean Jo and Olivia are busy in the basic kitchen, providing shop goods from jam to hair-raising health tonics. They also have to cook for the family, preparing a challenging meal of Shredded Wheat doused in Marmite broth. Life in the shop reflects the changing world outside, from exotic new imports from the Empire to an increase in now familiar brands. It’s hard work but there’s still time for fun, as Dame Kelly Holmes puts the family through an Edwardian style work out. The arrival of WW1 sees severe food shortages and Britain is at risk of being starved into surrender. As the decade draws to close, the Great War finally comes to an end. The shelves are full again and the Arderns throw a peace party to celebrate and say thanks to the community.

Secrets Of The Museum
This week, we meet curators and conservators trying to preserve some of the finest examples of craftsmanship in the world. Deep in the museum stores, curator Keith is trying to breathe life into an object of extraordinary craftmanship - an original Stormtrooper costume from the Star Wars sequel The Empire Strikes Back from 1980. He’s hoping to exhibit the costume in a refresh of the V&A’s Theatre and Performance Display. But when he and conservator Susana unpack the moulded-plastic body parts, a key piece is missing: the Stormtrooper’s helmet. Meanwhile, two of the largest galleries in the museum, the Cast Courts, are undergoing a renovation. These galleries are home to one of the world’s largest collections of 19th century handmade casts, replicas of some of Europe’s finest sculptures. As few people then could afford the luxury of travel, art works could be brought to them with these painstaking replicas. Now it’s the job of senior sculpture conservator Victor to give these precious casts a facelift.

The 2020 Guinness Six Nations: England v Ireland (KO 3pm) After a painful defeat to France, England got their Six Nations campaign back on track with a hard-fought victory over Scotland at Murrayfield in atrocious conditions. Ellis Genge scored the only try of the game as Eddie Jones’s side ground out a 13-6 win. Ireland have made a strong start - a nervy opening day win against Scotland was followed up by an impressive 24-14 defeat of the defending champions, Wales - who suffered their first loss in the competition in nearly two years. It promises to be quite a day for the Farrell family, a win for Ireland at Twickenham would secure the Triple Crown in Andy’s debut season as Head Coach but England captain Owen will be doing his utmost to prevent that from happening.

Last Tango In Halifax
BBC1, 21.00
Sally Wainwright’s Bafta Award-winning drama returns for a much-anticipated fifth series. Alan (Derek Jacobi) and Celia (Anne Reid) are seven years into their marriage and, having moved into a desirable bungalow with stunning views across the Calder Valley, they aren’t seeing eye to eye. Celia is baffled when Alan applies for a job in a local supermarket and Alan can’t understand why they need an expensive new kitchen. At Far Slack Farm, Gillian (Nicola Walker) - already stretched with bank repayments - discovers a costly problem with her roof. And Caroline (Sarah Lancashire) faces a fresh challenge in her new headship and recruits the help of colleague, Ruth (Lu Corfield). A phone call from New Zealand gives Alan and Celia pause for thought, and tempers get frayed at Caroline and Gillian’s joint birthday celebration when money becomes the topic of conversation. Meanwhile, Judith (Ronni Ancona) presents John (Tony Gardner) with an awkward proposition… Last Tango In Halifax is written by Sally Wainwright, directed by Gareth Bryn, and produced by Ken Horn. The four-part series also features Timothy West, Josh Bolt, Dean Smith, Louis Greatorex, Paul Copley, Katherine Rose Morley, Felix Johnson, Rachel Leskovac and Liam McCheyne.

Breast reduction surgery is the second most popular surgery for women in the UK, and many argue there is nothing cosmetic about it. Bad backs and unwanted attention are just two of the problems faced by those with big boobs. In an exclusive poll of 18-30 year-olds for the BBC, 65 percent of respondents said a desire to look ‘normal’ led them to consider a cosmetic procedure. It’s something Eden can relate to, as the size of her boobs made her feel out of place at school. Lauren’s breasts not only give her physical pain, but they affect what she is able to do with her children. From men fixating on her bust to the women who think it’s okay to grab her breasts in public, Michaela is also ready to pay for her surgery. Carla thinks women with large breasts are perceived differently, and with a big birthday coming up she’s hoping family and friends will help her raise the cash to change hers. All the seekers are accompanied by family and friends who have their own opinion on the surgery, but ultimately the only view that matters is that of the seekers. Downsizing breasts while maintaining function and the shape women want is a complex surgery, as top surgeon Amir Nakhdjevani reveals live when he takes his patient Rosie from a HH cup size down to a DD. With the breast deconstructed first, the women start to question their surgery choices - but it’s the experiences of former patients that have the biggest impact.

SPAIN is officially a world leader in the switch from electricity from fossil-fuel sources to “clean energy”, and experts are working on the country being 100% renewable before 2025. During the recent Climate Change Summit in Madrid, Israel announced that, along with the UK, it would be the first industrialised country to shut down all its fossil-fuel power stations and move over to renewable sources, such as wind, hydraulic and solar energy. And has it set a five-year deadline. But although Spain did not announce similar plans, it appears that the country had probably taken this step before Israel and the UK. “It could be that, in the end, we’re not able to be the first to close down fossilfuel plants because, in other European countries such as Italy and Portugal, the market is also leading companies to consider moving plans for the switch forward,” said a Spanish Government spokesperson. “But we can give an assurance that nobody else will have done it as quickly as us.” The six-year delay, during the reign of the right-wing PP government under
Spain leads the race to provide its clean energy
Mariano Rajoy, which brought renewable energy production to a halt and manoeuvred to postpone shutting down coal plants, is part of the reason for Spain not being as far forward with these intentions as the UK and Italy, the two countries which have taken major steps in the last five years. Unlike other countries, Spain does not have fixed deadlines for coalplant shutdowns, despite environmental campaign
groups calling for authorities to set out a timetable. In fact, Spain has even left the door open for one or two fossil-fuel stations to remain open beyond the year 2030, although the draft text of the country’s Climate Change Law states that all electricity production will be from renewable sources by the year 2050. But it has mainly been utility boards themselves which have started to lead the change, thanks to EU
Crash leaves toddler dead, and woman fights for life
A 21-MONTH-OLD toddler died last Sunday afternoon, in a crash between a car and a lorry in North Wales, and a woman was left fighting for her life.
The collision occurred on the A55 in Anglesey, near Gwalchmai, and a spokesman for North Wales Police said the crash involved a Ford Mondeo and an HGV. The youngster died shortly after the emergency services arrived, and the spokesman added: “Sadly, we can confirm that a baby has died, and a woman has sustained serious, lifethreatening injuries, following a road-traffic collision on
the A55, near Gwalchmai. “North Wales Police were called at 2.06pm to report a collision, which involved a Ford Mondeo and an HGV.” Inspector Gareth Jones, of the Roads’ Policing Unit, said: “Sadly, this is being investigated as a fatal road-traffic collision, and our heartfelt sympathies remain with the baby boy’s family at this incredibly difficult time.
“The investigation is underway, and we are appealing to anybody to contact us who might have witnessed the collision, or who might have seen either vehicle, shortly before 2pm.” Police, firefighters and paramedics were called to the scene, and North Wales Police later appealed for any witnesses, who saw a “slowmoving” HGV at the time, to contact the force.
regulations and an indirect tax on CO2 emissions that electricity companies now have to pay. By 30th June this year, nine of the 15 coal plants, still in operation in 2019, will be shut down, because they have failed to comply with EU environmental rules. Their owners consider they are no longer profitable, since, in order to meet with regulations, they would have to invest more than they would gain by continuing to run. Meanwhile, gas plants have been thriving, since their emissions are much lower, and they are not having to pay so much in taxes: up to €25 per tonne of CO2 emissions. Fossil-fuel electricity production has plummeted twothirds since 2018, and now represents just 5% of the total, with an unprecedented low. That’s because the country’s largest coal plant, at As Pontes, A Coruña province in Galicia, has been inactive since April 2019. Until then, it used to give off as much CO2 per year as two million cars! And during the month of December, electricity generated did not include the input from a single fossil-fuel plant. The result was that CO2 emissions in Spain dropped by 21%, year on year, and by 33%, based upon figures from the end of 2017. The

decrease will at least make it relatively painless for Spain to meet its self-imposed “clean energy” targets. At the current rate, Spain’s Government predicts that by the year 2023 or 2024, no coal plant in Spain will remain in operation. Yet it is still possible that a total of three, in Asturias, Mallorca and in Los Barrios (Cádiz province) will remain open. The other 12 are expected to have shut down. Despite the heavy investments many plants made in attempting to comply with environmental laws, which were then radically changed in 2019, Spain is not required to compensate the companies, since the electricity boards themselves are promoting the changes and shutdowns. With those in Spain not setting deadlines, electricity firms do not have a timetable to comply with, and are doing so voluntarily, unlike in Germany, which has set the closure of all fossil-fuel plants by the year 2038 in legislation. Officials there have left the door open to moving this forward to 2035, which means affected utility boards will have to be compensated with a total of €5.3bn. In Germany, though, the situation is different. Following the Fukushima disaster, its government opted to shut down all nuclear power stations by the year 2022. As a result, the decision heightened its dependence on coal, automatically, because about 40% of German electricity comes from fossil-fuel sources. Also, Germany’s coal is cheap and of good quality, while their gas comes from Russia and has not dropped in price as drastically as in Spain. For these reasons, Germany will find it more difficult to comply with EU energy rules. It is also the member State which most opposes the regulations requiring the 27 to cut their emissions by 50%. But Spain, with sun in abundance and plenty of wind, as the second-most mountainous country in continental Europe after Switzerland, it has all the tools needed to make the switch. And it could be the first EU country to drop all of its non-renewable energy production.

- Storm DENnis sweeps through the UK -
How the world’s biggest jet defied menace of Dennis
THE world’s largest passenger jet, an Etihad Airways A380, struggled to land at London’s Heathrow Airport on Saturday as it was hammered by strong winds at the height of Storm Dennis, which forced hundreds of flight cancellations But although its pilot had to battle Storm Dennis’ devastating crosswinds while landing the jet safely last Saturday, his extraordinary touchdown was captured in dramatic footage, showing the Airbus A380 superjumbo being rocked by severe gales. In a video, the hulking Etihad Airways plane, weighing almost 574,000kg, comes in at a sharp angle on its approach to the runway, and then hovers just feet above the tarmac for several seconds. The £340m double-decker jet, known for its exclusive first-class “apartment in the sky”, then touches down and rights itself, before taxiing to a terminal, while all around, west London was being battered by wind gusts of up to 50mph. The crew’s skills were on full display as the mammoth, four-engine plane landed safely, following its long-haul flight from Abu Dhab. For the second time in week, the UK and Ireland had been battered by a storm. Hundreds of flights were cancelled because of the high winds, while train services were disrupted repeatedly by flooding from Storm Dennis. It even caused one waterfall to flow backwards in Ireland. But for some flights, the show must go on, causing some hairy, nerve-jangling landings; no more so than this one captured on video at Heathrow. SpeedbirdTV posted the video on YouTube, where viewers hailed the pilots, one writing: “This pilot is just a great champion, and the passengers owe him a huge thank you. Bravo Monsieur.”
Another added: “Wow, that landing probably made braving the elements worth it. Great capture and an awesome job by the pilot.” And a third wrote: “Wooow, that is insane, incredible” With a wingspan of 262ft and length of 238ft, the A380 is the largest commercial passenger plane in the world. It is also one of the most expensive, with a brand-new aircraft costing £340million. It has a typical seating capacity of 525, although it is certified to carry as many as 853. Etihad’s version has almost 500 seats for passengers. Etihad’s A380 fleet is known for The Residence, a oneof-a-kind, private suite with a bedroom, ensuite shower room and living room for two passengers. Oh, and a one-way ticket costs almost £20,000 for two. Elsewhere, at Birmingham Airport, planes were also shown struggling to deal with the weather there. Dennis has been so intense that England posted a record number of flood warnings and alerts, along with a rare “red warning”, because extreme, life-threatening flooding was announced for South Wales. Though the warning lasted only a few hours, South Wales Police declared a major incident, as firefighters and rescue crews continued to help communities following multiple floods, landslides and evacuations. The Met Office said the highest wind gust recorded was 146kmh at Aberdaron in North Wales on Saturday. It also said that 157mm of rain fell at Crai Reservoir in the Welsh county of Powys, over 48 hours to Sunday morning. One of the worst-hit areas in South Wales was the village of Nantgarw, Rhondda Cynon Taff, near Cardiff, which saw entire streets left underwater since the early hours of Sunday morning.
Woman dies after being swept away by fierce flooding A WOMAN aged 55, swept away by floodwater near Tenbury in Worcestershire last Sunday, was found dead the following day.
A statement by the family of Yvonne Booth, from the Great Barr area of Birmingham, said: “Yvonne is a very much-loved member of our family, and we are all devastated by this news.” The Environment Agency (EA) warned that torrential rain from Storm Dennis had swelled rivers to “exceptional” levels in parts of Britain, with more forecast to fall. The death toll has now risen to five, as Storm Dennis wreaked havoc and brought tragedy across the country. On Sunday, tragically, a 42-year-old man fell nearly 100ft from the path of 3,278ft-high Stob Ban, on the south side of Glen Nevis in Lochaber, the Scottish Highlands. Meanwhile, police have been searching for a missing jogger, Lisa Hale, 40, who vanished in Farnborough, Hants, last Friday night, but her disappearance has not been linked with the storm.
Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes as the number of flood warnings hits an alltime record. Among the worst-affected areas were South Wales, Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire, where major incidents were declared. Around 1,000 staff were on duty, with 5km of flood barriers deployed and 90 pumps in action, said the Environment Agency. Emergency evacuations were carried out in Hereford, where the River Wye reached
its highest level on record. And homes in Monmouth were evacuated after Natural Resources Wales issued two severe “danger to life” flood warnings for the River Wye in the town. Prime Minister Boris Johnson resisted calls to chair a meeting of the Government’s emergency committee, Cobra, to tackle the flooding crisis, despite criticism from the Labour Party. Luke Pollard, shadow environment secretary, said it was a “disgrace” that the PM had “refused” to visit affected communities.
Runaway Irish paedophile nabbed after three months AN Irishman, understood to be a paedophile, has been arrested by National Police officers after being on the run for three months.
The 54-year-old man was traced to Spain by British authorities, because of his suspected involvement in the exploitation and pornography of children. The officers, who had been tipped off, found the fugitive in a Malaga urbanisation, after a European Arrest and Surrender warrant had been issued by UK authorities.
The Dubliner, known as M.M., escaped to Spain in a bid for anonymity. But a joint operation by UK and Spanish police tracked him down to a secluded housing development, in Axarquia’s La Viñuela. His arrest warrant had been in place since last October, for crimes committed against minors, exploitation and child pornography. The runaway, now in custody, faces up to 14 years in prison, and this latest arrest follows that of a 77-year-old British man in nearby Velez Malaga, for uploading child-porn images to several fake Facebook profiles. The UK’s treatment of convicted paedophiles has
recently been under scrutiny, after an inquiry released shocking figures of the number of predatory expats, able to flee to Spain and continue to abuse children, away from the UK legal system. In 2018, five British expats were convicted of sex crimes against minors in Spain, with five more found guilty of holding indecent images of children. Now, though, the inquiry has scrutinised the procedures of travel restrictions for convicted paedophiles in the UK. Currently, just 0.2% of the 58,637 convicted there have received international travel bans.

21st February - 27th February 2020
ARCHEOLOGISTS, using diggers, have uncovered the gruesome sight of a 7,300-year-old massacre in the Spanish Pyrenees. They have excavated the ancient remains of five adults and four children, aged between three and seven, who all appear to have been brutally murdered. The painstaking find was made in the El Trocs cave, in the midst of the serene beauty of the mountain landscape in the region of Huesca, sitting above a plateau, which would have been perfect hunting and farming land. The skeletal remains were analysed by an international team of researchers, who have dated them to 5,300 BC, when hunter-gatherers were being supplanted by farmers. This could be a clue to the cause of the brutal killings, although no one will ever know for sure. The team told Nature’s Scientific Reports: “The violent events in Els Trocs are without parallel, either in Spain or in the rest of Europe, at that time. “The adults display consistent, arrow-shot injuries to the skull, but not to the perpendicular
Horrific massacre from 7,300 years ago is uncovered
skeleton. The children and adults, furthermore, show traces of similar blunt violence to the skull and entire skeleton.” In other words, the broken and shattered bones reveal that the victims were shot, and then bludgeoned
to death. A study of the massacred victims’ genome (DNA) indicates that two of them, a man of around 30 and a boy of about six, are father and son. The other three children have different mothers, whose
Cubs hit the jackpot with highest honour
genomes have not been detected in the rest of the bones. For Jose Ignacio Royo, along with Hector Arcusa, the Aragonese specialists participating in the research, the reconstruction of the
29 CW
facts allows for several hypotheses. “We don’t dare say that it was a ritual killing,” said Royo. “It seems that they were wounded with arrows in the vicinity of the cave, and that they were later taken into it, and subjected to vicious beatings, even after death.” The violence of these attacks led Manuel Rojo to call them a “second execution… a murderous frenzy.” He added: “It is as if, in addition to taking their lives, they wanted to eliminate even their memory.” The report speculates that the massacre could have been caused by territorial disputes, or the theft of cattle or women… disputes that escalated until they led to the victims’ slaughter. According to genetic data obtained, the victims are part of the first wave of Neolithic immigrants from the Middle East, who spread throughout Europe 10,000 years ago. The report said: “Els Trocs probably documents an early escalation of inter-group violence, between people of conceivably different origins and world views, between natives and migrants, or between economic or social rivals. “The conflict conveys the impression of a xenophobic action; the type of aggression suggests a clash between enemy groups.”
THE 1st Tenerife Scout Group are extremely proud of two of their youngsters, who have achieved the highest award they can earn in the Cub section.
Alfie Bee and Luis Coshell have been presented with their Chief Scout’s Silver Award, for which they had to complete at least six Activity Badges. These included learning about different cultures; cooking on an open fire; disability awareness; craft-making; athletics; emergency aid and gardening, as well as acting in a play, plus lots more. They also had to complete seven Challenges, which included Our Outdoor Challenge. That meant they had to camp out for at least three nights, putting up and down their tent; how to be safe on camp; keep everything neat and tidy; cook a meal, and make a towel-drier with canes and string. In addition, they had to build a shelter from fallen branches, palm leaves etc. Other
Our World Day of Prayer Challenge Awards were Teamwork; Personal; Our Adventure; Our Skills; Our World and Team Leader. Akela Leisel Hardy said: “I am really proud of Alfie and Luis, who have worked so hard to achieve this award, which was signed by Bear Grylls, who is our Chief Scout. “Plus, they are the first two children to achieve them in our group, here in Tenerife, so there’s a place in our history book for them. I also thank the parents for their support. “The next step for them is to complete their Gold Award. And once they are in the Scout section, I hope this will encourage the other Cubs to follow in their footsteps, and
realise they can all achieve this award. But they have to put the work into it.” She added: “If any girl or boy is interested in joining our Scout Group, and is aged between 6-14, we meet on a Tuesday, from 6-7.30pm, in the Coral Mar Square church in Silencio, or message us on email: 1st.tenerifescoutgroup@gmail.com Alternatively, contact our Group Scout Leader Steve on 664 555 785. “A huge thank-you to everyone who has, and still is, supporting us since we started the group.

WOMEN, men and children of all ages are invited to attend this year’s World Day of Prayer (WDP), at St Blas Roman Catholic Church next Friday (6th March), at 3pm.
A WDP spokesperson said: “The women of Zimbabwe have prepared this year’s service, named ‘Rise! Take your mat and walk’, and we are encouraged to reflect on the difficulties and unrest, which have plagued their country over the years. “They share with us the challenges they have faced, along with their hopes for the future.
“They encourage us all, wherever we are, to ‘Rise, take up your mat and walk’ with them as they continue their often-turbulent journey to full reconciliation.” The Day of Prayer is celebrated, annually, in more than 170 countries. It begins in Samoa, and prayers, in native languages, travel all over the world, through Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas, before finishing in American Samoa, some 38 hours later. The spokesperson added: “Last year’s service was a colourful affair, so do join us for another joyful, yet poignant, service, with traditional and African hymns.” There will be refreshments afterwards, to which everyone is cordially invited.

K9 Animal News
Terk needs a home! ABOUT six months ago, this beautiful young girl was brought to us at K9. We gave her the name Terk. When she arrived, she was about seven months old, which was still very young. Terk didn’t have a great start in her short life, and was left at the police station in Granadilla. A gentleman named David saw her and brought her to K9. We did learn that she had been abused, so we knew that she would need a lot of love and attention. We didn’t know a huge amount of what exactly happened, just that some damage had already been done to her. Terk is a very energetic, playful dog, and sometimes this can be a bit much for other dogs and people. It isn’t her fault that she can be a bit overwhelming, so we are looking for a calm and patient new owner, for her to show her love, train with her on a oneto-one basis, and help her to learn and focus on you. She does enjoy playing with other dogs, who also want to play, but, sometimes, she can be a little rough for them. One of our volunteers likes to take her to the local dog park, where she can run around and play with other dogs. She is currently sharing with two, large, male dogs, and we have noticed that she can be territorial over her food, something she may have developed as a really-young puppy, and was never trained not to be. Her new owner must be willing

to train her and spend time with her. If you enjoy long walks, or even running, she would love to tag along with you, and it would also help her burn up some of the energy she has. She is still very young, so does need to be shown things, step by step. Being in the kennels is a very stressful place for Terk, and she can get easily frustrated, which can lead to unwanted behaviour. We put her in the large kennel across the road from the main kennels, to give her space to run. This does help, so, ideally,
someone who has the space for her to be able to run a lot, would be perfect. As we said, she likes to play with other dogs, so another dog in the house could work, and they could become the best of friends, thus helping Terk to learn more and more about dog behaviour. She really does need a second chance because she was neglected and abandoned, through no fault of her own, and has missed out of the important first few months of positive socialisation, as a puppy. It will take some time and training, but she is a very sweet girl, who is really misunderstood. Can you help her? Can you show this beautiful girl that she can be loved? Please come and meet her at K9, any day, between 9.30am-1.30pm, on Calle Chimbesque between Las Chafiras and Las Zocas. Call us on 667 638 468, or email info@k9tenerife.com.
KittyCatz News
Love bite? EVEN kittens have bad hair days! KittyCatz are preparing for kitten season, and new kitten babies who need immediate relief from the creepies constantly biting, hiding in ears and crawling all over their delicate skin. Flea spray is our first weapon against these parasites, and it kills mites upon application. It can be sprayed on and massaged into the fur, without damage to our own skin, but it’s strong enough to soothe our already-anxious furbabies. Fleas do more than just bite your pet; they can transmit diseases. Even if he spends most of his time indoors, fleas and eggs can still be in his bedding. Fleas can pass a bacterial infection called Bartonella, commonly contracted through skin contact with infected flea faeces. Infections, including mouth and gum disease, eye inflammation and heart disease, have all been linked with Bartonella. Cats can be hypersensitive to flea saliva, causing a condition called flea allergy dermatitis, one of the most common causes of itchiness in cats. When fleas bite, substances in their saliva can enter your cat’s skin and trigger an immune response. This can cause intense skin irritation that extends well beyond the bite locations, resulting in hair loss around the tail, belly and inner thighs, as well as skin infections. If a large number of fleas bite
your cat and feed, your cat can develop anaemia. This is a serious medical condition in kittens. Symptoms of anaemia in cats include weakness, lethargy, rapid breathing and, potentially, death, if the fleas are not killed. Tapeworms are parasitic worms, passed to cats from fleas, often during grooming sessions. Your cat may swallow these fleas while grooming themselves. Tapeworms attach to your cat’s intestines with their sucker-like mouth parts, where they then grow and steal nutrients from your cat. Tapeworms can sometimes lead to abdominal pain and diarrhoea, as well as itchiness around the anus. Rest assured, any kitten adopted from KittyCatz has a completely clean bill of health, and has been regularly deflead and wormed. This year, to help us purchase our supply of flea spray, several hair salons have agreed to host a game of Name the Hairdo, and have donated a prize voucher for their salon. By participating, we will be able to supply each of our volunteers with a bottle of treatment. Participating salons are: Creative Duo in Los Cristianos, New Generation in Las Americas, and The Parlour Hair and Beauty Salon in Amarilla Golf. Please pop into these salons and support us.

When it comes to the crunch... CELERY has become one of the favourite vegetables when preparing foods such as soup, because of its flavour, but not everyone knows about its benefits.
Part of the Apiaceae family, celery can be found throughout the world as an integral part of certain cuisines. Its origins can be traced back to the Mediterranean and North Africa, but it is now cultivated globally. It is marketed and consumed in practically every cuisine, from American and Japanese, to Australian to Indian - and more. The vegetable has made many historical appearances, as well. It is referenced many times in ancient Mediterranean documents, including King Tut’s tomb. Celery has aphrodisiac properties. Among its contributions to human health is that it is a diuretic, an anti-inflammatory, and rich in fibre. In addition, this vegetable comprises 95% water, making it one of the lightest and most consumed vegetables in weight-loss diets. It is a very versatile vegetable. Not only can its leaves be used, but also its stem. It is packed full of vitamins your body needs (A, B, C and K), as well as calcium, magnesium and potassium. Its most magnificent attribute, however, is its phytonutrients. These are plant chemicals that are used to ward off insects and damaging sun rays, but their influence on people after consumption is dramatically more impressive. Phytonutrients have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Even though it can initially be hard to get used to the texture of celery, it enhances the immune system and intracellular communication. Phytonutrients have also been known to repair toxic damage to DNA, and to have had measurable results in combating cancer and heart disease. *Weight loss: Celery is low in calories and high in fibre, which means it curbs hunger without having to eat much *Better hydration: Celery is 95% water, so eating more of it will understandably prevent dehydration *Reduces inflammation: If you are at any risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, or other means of chronic inflammation, celery can help reduce your likelihood of developing these illnesses *Prevents/stops heartburn and acid reflux: Celery is low in acidity, so it is often recommended for these issues. While its exact results on these problems haven’t yet been confirmed, many people have reported improved results after eating celery *Improves cholesterol: Studies show celery reduces cholesterol by 7% *Lowers blood pressure: Studies show celery reduces blood pressure by 18% *Improves digestion: Thanks to celery’s fibre content, it can help keep your bowel movements regular and intestines healthy *Helps maintain healthy eyes: Thanks to celery’s Vitamin A content, it helps protect your cornea and helps treat dry eyes *Mosquito repellent: Studies have shown that celery-
oil extract is a mosquito repellent, so rub some on your skin to be itch-free. Celery juice Celery juice is everywhere for a reason. It saves lives because it restores people’s health, one symptom at a time. We see celebrities posting about their daily, celery-juice routines, and people from all walks of life sharing pictures and testimonials of their dramatic recovery stories. What began decades ago as a quiet movement, has become a global,
healing revolution. Celery leaves Celery leaves are frequently used in cooking to add a mild spicy flavour to foods, similar to, but milder than, black pepper. Celery leaves are dried as a sprinkled-on seasoning for use with baked, fried or roasted fish and meats, and as part of a blend of fresh seasonings, suitable for use in soups and stews. They may also be eaten raw, mixed into a salad or as a garnish.

The risk of older vehicles
By Emma
from Motorworld
AS we enter a more technical and computerised world, which is advancing very rapidly, the risks of older cars and their safety becomes more apparent. There have been recent comparisons made, showing that accidents and incidents, occurring with vehicles 15 years or older, are increased twofold, compared with cars of between 5-7 years. With enhanced safety features and technology, our personal safety in an accident is improved in newer vehicles. This is of some concern to the DGT, so they have
been running a campaign to target, exclusively, the safety and maintenance of vehicles. In some cases, this campaign has been carried out in conjunction with local police, targeting safety features such as tyres, brakes, lights and glass, ie windscreens etc. For the time being, this
campaign has finished, but it’s highly probable that the Guardia Civil will continue checking these items in the future, rather than during a specific campaign. As well as the abovementioned visible safety checks, they often look at all documentation for the
car and its driver. They will check the validity of the ITV, and ensure that insurance is current, and, in some cases, ask for proof of payment. Checks will be made to ensure that the driver is holding a legal driving licence for driving in Spain, with the appropriate categories for
the vehicle they are driving at that time. The correct maintenance of a vehicle contributes to the safety aspect, which is checked at the ITV test. During a recent campaign by the DGT, it was found that 1.64% of vehicles stopped did not hold a valid ITV. The fines for this are high, and the vehicle could well be a danger, not only to the driver, but other road users as well. It is vitally important that you ensure your tyres have sufficient tread, and are the correct size for the car. This can be checked on your Ficha Tecnica. All lights must be fully functioning and visible, permitting the driver to see with them, and not so dirty that they are virtually unseen. If your number plate is not clearly visible, or does not have an EU symbol, you may incur a fine of 200 euros . Of course, the above doesn’t just apply to older vehicles. It must be ensured that newer models are correctly maintained and serviced.
Don’t wash your hands of this vital information health Corner
TO prevent viral infections, doctors suggest practising good hand hygiene. In light of the recent coronavirus outbreak, public health guidelines continue to emphasise this.
A new study explains why hand washing is so important when it comes to preventing viral infections, especially those that spread via droplets from coughs and sneezes. Washing the hands is always the first-line measure. Correctly washing the hands remains public-health officials’ top advice, when it comes to controlling infection rates. In their guidelines on how to prevent infection with the novel coronavirus, the World Health Organisation (WHO) state that people should wash their hands frequently, with soap and water. People still continue to express doubt that something as simple as basic personal hygiene could have any effect in
the context of an epidemic. New research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology aims to put those doubts to rest, by showing just how important washing the hands can be, in slowing down the spread of infectious disease. According to study co-author Prof. Christos Nicolaides, 70% of people who go to the toilet wash their hands afterwards. The other 30% don’t, and, of those that do, only 50% do it correctly. The best practices for hand washing include not only rinsing the hands with water, but also applying soap and scrubbing the palms, the back of the hands, between
the fingers, and under the fingernails. A person should scrub for at least 20 seconds, before rinsing the soap and drying the hands with a clean towel. However, Prof. Nicolaides notes that, of the people who do wash their hands after using the bathroom, many never apply soap, and spend under 15 seconds on the procedure. “We consider that, at most, one-in-five people in an airport have cleaned their hands at any given moment in time, which is only 20% of the airport population,” the researchers wrote in their study paper. The researchers used existing
data about global flights. Specifically, they looked at flight duration, flight distance, connections, and estimates of the amount of time travellers spend in airports. They pinpointed 120 airports that they think play a key role in the spread of contagious agents. However, they also explain that these are not necessarily the airports with the highest traffic. For example, airports in Tokyo, Japan, and Honolulu, Hawaii are likely to be key players in the spread of disease, due to the fact that they offer direct connections to many of the world’s largest airports. However, these do not have the highest traffic, overall. These airports are also points of transit between a significant number of countries, in both the Eastern and Western hemispheres. Taken together, these factors make such airports key players in the spread of contagious diseases. But the researchers argue that if more people were to wash their hands frequently and correctly, it would significantly slow down the rate at which diseases are likely to spread.
Specifically, if 60% rather than 20% of air travellers maintained clean hands, it could slow down the spread of infections by almost 70%, according to the researchers. Even increasing the number of people with clean hands by 10% could slow down the rate at which disease can spread by as much as 24%. Although the researchers explain that educational campaigns about personal hygiene could help improve the overall situation, they admit that this may be difficult to achieve, in such a high number of airports. This approach might help slow down the spread of infection by around 37%, the researchers suggest. Prof. Nicolaides and colleagues also note that it may be helpful to add more washbasins in airports, even outside toilets, to encourage people to wash their hands more often. The researchers say that another helpful step might be to clean and disinfect surfaces in airports more frequently, especially those that a large number of people come into contact with.

Amarilla winds can blow you off course WELCOME to hole No.4 again, because the weather last week took headline news in all the national newspapers, and it looks that way again!
High winds, rain and floods in the UK, thanks to Storm Dennis (who thinks these names up?), so, not much golf being played in the UK just now. It’s such a shame, because many beautiful courses are under water. Tenerife has experienced another calima, but that’s not so bad. Had a few messages from our friends out on Golf del Sur and the Amarilla course, who were enjoying a not-so-windy week, so I’ll reveal their results at the end. When I first came to the island in 1998, and before I took over my first poolbar & restaurant in Callao Salvaje, I was working at the Harbour Club in Los Gigantes. Yes, I was one of those Timeshare Salesmen, and my bosses were two fantastic South Africans, Clifton Bird and Freddy Botha. Both loved a round of golf, and these big-hitters were very good at it. They enjoyed playing at Golf del Sur and Amarilla Golf Clubs. One particular morning, I was told: “Come on Quilt, we’re taking you golfing.” Great, I thought, and Freddy, being left-handed and having a brandnew set of clubs, gave me his old set of Ping Eye Irons and a driver, plus a tatty old bag (why couldn’t I have the new one?), so off we went. When we left Los Gigantes the weather was superb, not a breath of wind, and 24 degrees C when we arrived at Amarilla Golf Course. I thought we had moved to another island because the wind was blowing. And boy, did it blow! It was also hot as well, like someone wafting an oven door at you. So, after a quick coffee, off we go, me playing off an 18 handicap. Down hole No.1, a fairly straight par 4, so no problems there then, and I got a 6. Hole No.2, short par 3, got a 4. On to hole No.3, the long par 5, and the wind did blow, but the green is in a
dip, so not so bad, and I hit a 7. Now to hole No.4, over the hill and far away, and first lost ball of the day, right into someone’s garden. A 3 off the tee and I used an iron. I thought “not too bad”, but once on the green, the wind howled, so my first 8 went on the card. And now for hole No.5, a par 3 over the Atlantic Ocean, and what a beautiful hole! But not when it blows like this. The guys take out irons and I thought, “Oh no, I won’t get there with an iron, so out comes the driver. “Hit it under the wind,” urged Freddie. “Oh yes” I thought, with these two on the green apron? Boom! Off went the ball, higher and higher, and out towards the ocean. And boy, did it blow! I was a smoker then and I could have lit a ciggie and finished smoking it before the ball started to come down. When it did arrive, it was on the rocks… and so was I! After two more goes at it, I gave in. That was my first experience of Amarilla’s 5th hole, and every time the guys asked me to go golfing, I’d ask: “What’s the weather like?” But that’s why they built the airport out there. Having said that, I have enjoyed some great days on the Amarilla over the years, because it’s an excellent course to play. On Wednesday, 5th February, an Irish Day, and it wasn’t even St Patrick’s Day, was hosted by Golf del Sur, and it was a big success. It was a single Stapleford competition, with more
than 40 people playing, mainly Irish, naturally. There were also some players from other European countries, who dressed in the Green and White Irish colours (the Irish flag includes gold, of course). The day was sponsored by P. J. Noonan (a Rabbits’ member), and before the event started, players were given a gift from Ireland. The prizes for the winners consisted of Irish whiskey, trophies and some cash. The prize-giving was carried out in the club-house. It started off with Ireland’s legendary Daniel O’Donnell singing Galway Bay, which he performed beautifully. The players, especially some Germans, were astonished that somebody could sing like that. But they all know Daniel now. There were 15 prizes, including Nearest the Pin on two holes, Longest Drive and Closest to the Centre Rope. Pat Shannon won a trophy, a bottle of Paddy and some cash for being Nearest the Pin. Sharon Molins won a trophy and a bottle of Paddy, as well as some cash for the longest drive. John Byrne won his category with 35 points. He won a trophy, a bottle of Jameson whiskey and some cash. The other category was won by a German, Michael Renz, who is a very good friend of the Irish. Other Irish winners were P. J. Noonan and Ciaran Blair. But the day’s real winner was Daniel with his rendition of Galway Bay. The fun continued in the Mr Chen restaurant, in Los Cristianos. This was also attended by Mr Oddbjorn Hovic and his wife Maria, from Oslo. Oddbjorn is the man behind a society called The Vikingos, who play every Monday morning in Los Palos. They are mostly Scandinavian, with a few Irish members. P. J. Noonan would like to thank everybody who played on the day, and especially all those who attended the evening food, drink and craic in Mr Chen’s. As promised, here are some results from around the societies: Costa Adeje Rabbits: Thursday 13th Feb:1st Ken Hunt (44pts h15); 2nd Michael O’Hara (39pts h13); 3rd Colin Hammond (37pts h28).

CD Tenerife TENERIFE proved to be a much better side in the first half, with Rubén Baraja’s men creating a few good scoring opportunities. But his strikers were unable to convert them. However, it was the home side’s fifth consecutive game without losing, while Rayo increased their total of draws to five in a row. Tenerife began with an anticipated starting XI, Captain Suso Santana appearing on the right side, with the intention of scoring early, as they had in previous matches. But Rayo Vallecano, rivals of immense quality, but with the same number of problems this season, warned of their intentions. Mario Suarez beat keeper Ortolá in the ninth minute, but was denied by a post, yet it was a wake-up call for the hosts, who realised they had a game on their hands. Tenerife began to harass Rayo keeper Dimitrievski, who feared the worst when Dani Gómez found himself one on one with him in front of goal, after a good cross by Nahuel. The striker was about to shoot when he was tackled from behind while bearing down on goal. But despite Tenerife’s penalty appeal, the

referee waved play on, to the relief of the Rayo keeper and his defence. On the 30-minute mark, Aitor Sanz tried his luck from the edge of the area, but his powerful shot went wide to the left of the Madrid team’s
goal. The same fate befell Nahuel in the 36th minute, when his freekick was deflected for a corner, after hitting the defensive wall. Tenerife had another clear-cut chance just before half-time, and this time Dani Gomez
became provider, his excellent cut-back cross from the byline, being met by Suso in the box. But his header was cleared off the line by Luna, to leave the game goal-less at the end of the half.

Tenerife started the second half unchanged, coach Baraja sticking with Sipcic, even though the Serbian had taken a knock in the first half. Rayo made one change, Milic replacing Saveljilch in the centre of defence. Rayo started brightly, showing their enormous quality when passing the ball around, and they were beginning to look dangerous. But Aitor Sanz had the first chance of the half from a long way out. Unfortunately for him, the ball finished a long way off because he missed the target completely. Tenerife had another chance to change the scoreline when, for the second time, Dani Gómez found himself in front of goal after receiving a Milla throughball. This time, however, his weak chip shot went straight into the hands of Dimitrievski. In the 68th minute, the coaches of both teams decided to make changes. Baraja took
off Suso and brought on Moore, while Rayo replaced Jorge de Frutos and Isi with Álvaro and Advíncula. Shortly after, Baraja also decided to take off Joselu to reinforce the midfield with Javi Muñoz. The last minutes of the game belonged to Rayo Vallecano, who were still looking for a way through, with Tenerife appearing to be playing for the draw, and staying strong. In the dying seconds, Milla was replaced by Argentine Miérez, appearing for the first time since overcoming an injury. This was the last action of a match in which Tenerife proved better in the first half than in the second, winning a valuable point and maintaining their recent, unbeaten record. All in all, they should be satisfied with another solid performance, and should take note of the saying: When you can’t win, it is important not to lose!

Steve and Leah on winning roll
Emerald stand-in is hardly a Bandit EMERALD B arrived for their Week 24 clash at Sandys Bandits with just four players, but the sporting Bandits, had a visitor in the bar, who was persuaded to help out. Their generosity cost them, though, because he promptly took the first for the Emerald. After that it was nip-and-tuck, with the visitors nicking the trebles for a draw. Not an envious task for Ourplace Playboys, who were at Pas ONadas A. They went 4-1 down, but kept going and, in the end, lost only 5-3. It was no consolation, obviously, but it was probably a good result against the champions-elect. There were 180s from Wayne for PON, and Del Boy for the Playboys. Waterfall v Loch Inn Bullseyes Bullseyes’ depleted team obviously didn’t help their cause, and they suffered a 7-1 defeat, but everyone had a good night, all the same, so they said. Mad Hatters were clearly on form, taking a 3-2 lead against Sandys Bookie Boys after the singles, and going on to take the remaining games for a 6-2 win. Jim said: “In the eight years of playing in this league, this is
probably the best game I have played in. Great scoring by both teams and nobody was missing doubles on the night, apart from Taylor. Fabulous hosts. Shame about the result.” However, he did omit to mention Taylor’s 180. Scooters&Chevys A v The Pub This was a bit one-sided, finishing 8-0 to The Pub. But as Duncan pointed out, not quite a whitewash because they took two legs. In case anyone missed it, the Gaffers v Pas’O’Nadas International game didn’t go ahead. And, as is their right, International claimed the 8-0 win. Div 2 had a few postponed matches: Pink Elephant v Clouseau’s, The Club House v Marilyns and Palms Sports Bar v

Scooters&Chevys B. Emerald Lounge v Pas O Nadas This was a close match for starters, with the home leading 3-2 after the singles. But Emerald kicked on from there, and took the remaining matches for a 6-2 win. Ourplace Playgirls v Club Activo As is the norm, I’ll leave this to Graham’s wise words: “Result 6-2 to Activo. Trebles to Playgirls. Graham 127 finish! Great night of darts v the girls on Valentine’s Day! Food superb as usual. Thanks for a great night!” Naughty Nautas v Ourplace Breakaways “Brilliant night”, according to Fudder, but he would say that! Breakaways won 7-1, and didn’t even let Nautas have the trebles. Sundowners v Picasso’s @ Palms The away team shot into a 3-0 lead, no doubt Wayne’s 180 helping them in the process. But Sundowners fought back to 3-2, only for Picasso’s to kick on again, taking both doubles,. Yet Sundowners had the final say, winning the trebles, even though they still lost 5-3. Catch-up match There was a catch-up match last week between Activo and Palms Sports Bar, which went down to the last set of the doubles, with Activo winning on a great night of darts. Thanks to Gaffers for hosting.

THE Irish Fiddler bar’s 2020 charity golf tournament, which took place recently on Las Américas golf course, raised a phenomenal €4,265. It has been donated towards the cost of running the AECC KM Solidario bus, generally known as the Cancer Bus, which transports patients to the north of the island for treatment, with no transport costs. There was a good turn-out, with many players from the Rabbits’ Association taking part. Ireland’s legendary singer Daniel O’Donnell was also present, giving everyone an excellent rendition of his songs in the evening, during the festivities. Ciara Murphy, looking after the bar with her brother Michael because her parents, Gerard and Noeline, who own the business, are taking a wellearned break, said: “This donation helps to keep people aware of the great work Carol Salisbury has done, and still does, to keep her Charity Bus in the public eye. It also acknowledges all those who took part in the event.”
