New British Consul Getting to know you – first canarian interview

By Karl McLaughlin

he new British Consul T to Malaga and the Canaries paid a fleeting visit to the islands this week to familiarise herself with the work of the consular offices and establish contact with prominent members of the expat community.

As reported here, Charmaine Arbouin’s appointment as the successor to the short-lived Steve Jones was announced on June 24.

A month into her new role, the 49-year-old mother of three teenagers admits she is still finding her feet, particularly as regards the Canaries, but is gradually getting to grips with being the woman responsible for British interests in two regions that together receive 8.5 million British holidaymakers every year and have a combined resident

ex-pat population of almost 450,000, of whom around 85,000 live in the islands.

She took time out of her tight schedule to share with Island Connections her first impressions as the new boss of two of the busiest

regional Consulates in the world and also to talk about her family and professional background.

Island Connections (IC): You are a total newcomer to the diplomatic

world so an obvious starting point is to ask why you applied for the job as British Consul.

Charmaine Arbouin (CA): My background is in local government and performance improvement,

and when I saw the job description my first thoughts were, “this is exactly what I am interested in”. It is a post that draws on many of the skills I was already using in my previous life.

Moreover, I had been living in Spain for eight years, my children were brought up here mostly and, as an expat myself, I had valuable experience of the administrative issues of the kind many Britons encounter here. I don’t see it as a job that only has ‘bad bits’ in the sense that you tend to deal mostly with people in distress and/or difficulty.

I personally find it very rewarding to be in a position to be able to help. In addition to the direct case-work side, there is the strategic side also, in that I have to look at ways of improving what we deliver as a service to tourists and expats.

New British Consul

Getting to know you – first canarian interview Continued from front page

IC: Speaking of improving things, after several weeks in the post, have you already identified areas where change might be needed in the way the Consulates in Tenerife and Las Palmas operate?

CA: It is much too early to say.

My first impression is that our services are not overstaffed and that we have very good relations with the local Spanish authorities and the British community.

I will be talking to my two Vice Consuls and with my bosses in the coming weeks to see if there are things that need reviewing. However, quantitative and qualitative evidence is needed for change. In consular services one has to look at the overall picture, at ways of doing things with greater efficiency. A lot of the physical presence is no longer required these days. Thanks to the work done by the new Contact Centre in processing enquiries, fewer people actually need to attend the Consulate in person.

We also have a customer service analyst for the southern region who will help analyse needs and assess the information available.

When we have had more feedback, we will act on that information. In any case, one decision already taken back in November was to increase the opening hours for the Tenerife Consulate.

IC: You will be aware that the decision to base the Consul for the Canaries a thousand miles away in Malaga caused controversy back in November and this has since been compounded by the fact that the head of the combined post left after just five months. It was hardly a great advertisement for the ‘new and more efficient’ system.

CA: I am aware there have been issues in the past. Let me stress that the decision to no longer have a Consul permanently resident in the Canaries was not taken in isolation. It was part of the changes implemented in the overall network. As a public service, the network necessarily has to look at ways of using resources more efficiently and more economically. One effect of this global approach is that Consuls have disappeared, so to speak. If I recall correctly, of 11 British Consuls in southern Europe there are now six. The network has been looking at what its people should be doing and how best to use them. The role of a Consul has changed also and a lot of the public profile work is now covered by the Vice-Consuls. In addition to being Consul for Malaga and the Canaries, I am the Consular Regional Operations Manager (CROM), working in a more strategic capacity. Although there is no longer a resident consul in the Canaries, the post itself still exists. The difference now is that additional front-line support has been put in place, more direct support where it is needed.

have used it on a daily basis during my eight years in Andalusia.

IC: You studied languages at university. Did you ever think that your Spanish degree would lead to such an official role?

IC: Is there anything from your past work that you are particularly proud of in terms of what you have achieved?

CA: I was at university at a time (the early 1980s) when you could study what you liked and were interested in, not necessarily what would help your career, so no, I probably did not think so.

However, this is by no means the first time I have used my Spanish for work. I was Desk Officer for Latin America and the Caribbean at Oxfam, a job which gave me many opportunities to use the language. And of course I

IC: Why the decision to move to Spain?

CA: Both my husband - an overseas development consultant - and I had perfectly good jobs in Warwickshire but we wanted a better quality of life.

Our children, now aged 15, 13

and 12, were young at the time so we thought “why not”? Spain was an option, as we both knew Spanish. Andalusia was particularly attractive because of the way of life and we would still be reasonably close to Britain.

CA: I think the thing that has given me most pride was something achieved at Nottinghamshire County Council.

This goes way back, long before I became a consultant. We were among the first to set up OneStop Shops and I recall I was the service head for setting up three of these in Nottingham. It was a time when, regrettably, many public servants could give the impression that customers were people who came in and more or

less ‘messed up their day’. My message then and now is that we are here to do a job and to configure services not for ourselves but for the public. We eventually managed to persuade staff that they were not working in isolated compartments. By cutting across local government departments, and even physical boundaries, we could offer a better and

(I know the term sounds a bit of cliché!) ‘joined up’ service.

IC: After you leave your consular role, how would you like to be remembered?

CA: I’m not planning on leaving yet! I am not long in the job (which I consider an early 50th birthday present for August!) and as a family we are certainly not thinking of another big move, thank you. I would love it if, as a result of my time in post, customers received a better service.

I don’t intend to focus purely on the ‘strategic stuff’ because you can get divorced from reality. I hope to work at the operational level too, getting out and onto the actual desks to see and hear people, deal with their problems.

IC: In addition to your ‘devotion’ to improving service levels, in the past you have

CA: My parents and grandparents are from the Caribbean. I grew up in Britain in the 1970s and even back then I was aware that there was very little on the National Curriculum that reflected my heritage. My mother, a teacher, and many other people made great efforts to campaign to have the curriculum reflect Britain as a multicultural society. I was shocked recently to learn that there were plans to drop Mary Seacole, a black nurse whose contribution to the war effort in Crimea was on a level with that of the more famous Florence Nightingale, from the curriculum. I thought it was a great shame because she was such a significant historical figure in Victorian Britain. I and thousands of others signed a petition campaigning for the decision to drop her to be reversed and it proved successful earlier this year.

IC: Although the first one you have given in the Canaries, this interview will not be your first time in print, albeit in a totally different context, will it?

CA: You must be referring to The Nottingham Connection, which is the story of four women - Olga, Madge, Eunice and my Mum, Lee, the author of the book - who were born in Jamaica but who later moved to Britain.

There are two Charmaines in the book and, you are right, I am one of them. But I am the ‘other one’, not the Charmaine who features very prominently.

IC: Finally, Charmaine, what has been the best and worst of the job so far?

CA: I don’t think I have come up against either yet but I do know one thing already, including from today. I need to get more accustomed to dealing with the media!

Controversial party “donations”

Graft or gift?

T

he heads of several top firms in the Canaries have confirmed media reports that their companies donated large sums to the Popular Party both here and in Spain, although they have been quick to point out that the PP is far from the only party to benefit from the financial contributions.

The controversy arose when a leading national newspaper revealed that a substantial part of the donations received by the party of Spanish premier Mariano Rajoy came from Canarian firms, despite the fact that the party does not govern here at present. The revelations were made as the scandal over slush funds allegedly operated by the PP to pay senior figures juicy bonuses reached a high point with the evidence provid-

ed by disgraced former treasurer Luis Bárcenas, who has implicated Rajoy directly in the payments.

The heads of several big construction firms here have admitted they paid donations but insist that the payments were entirely legal and in conformity with political party funding rules.

Senior figures from other parties, including the Canarian Coalition and PSOE in the islands, have subsequently confirmed that their parties have also received money albeit much less than the figure said to have been received by the PP. The revelations have prompted fresh calls for a total ban on private donations to parties to prevent undue influence over politicians.

T

he Canarian Government has bowed to public pressure over their decision to withdraw all funding for the archipelago’s three fire consortiums.

As reported here, the Government had stood by its announcement that no money would be paid to the consortiums, based in Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Tenerife, from 2014.

The reason given was that the provision of a fire service is the responsibility of each of the individual islands, but the decision caused outrage in various quarters. The move was covered extensively in the press, each of the consortiums officially informed the government that without the contribution they would probably have to disband, and the gener-

are both Canarian Coalition, the same as the Canarian Government, whilst it’s the ruling PP council of Gran Canaria that is feeling victimised. They complain that two of the island’s main stations, Las Palmas and San Bartolomé de Tirajana, have not been integrated into the consortium and thus will not be taken into account when the funds are distributed.

al public also joined in the argument, fearful of their safety with the memories of last year’s horrific fires still fresh in their minds.

After many months of refusing to back down, the government has announced it will now contribute a to-

tal of €3 million - €2 million less than the amount for 2012.

The offer was well received by representatives of the Tenerife and Lanzarote consortiums, but not by Gran Canaria. Interestingly, the governing parties of the two islands in agreement

Indeed, the payments will not be without conditions.

The money will be shared out according to the population and land area in each island and the consortiums will be expected to homogenise their services and implement a cost reducing strategy at various levels, amongst other requirements.

International survey

Question your experiences Expatriates of any nationality are invited to join the world’s largest expat survey for a chance to win £1,000 in cash.

Is the grass really greener on the other side? asks the survey, which is led by the ex-head of research for BBC World.

Whether you moved overseas for a better quality of life, to pursue a career opportunity or simply for a change of scenery, now is your chance to share your opinions on a variety of different topics. Whilst there are the usual questions requiring you to tick boxes, the research study breaks away from convention and enquires about your experience, whether or not expectations have been fulfilled and what expats miss about home, as well as requesting tips and advice for others contemplating a move to a new continent.

International film music festival

nother spectacular hit for this festival which is now in its seventh year.

Workshops, awards, exhibitions and a series of extraordinary concerts culminating in two magnificent performances by the Orchesta Sinfónica de Tenerife which played to huge audiences in that magnificent venue, the Auditorio Adán Martín. It was a joy and a delight to see that huge hall packed to the rafters and the audience giving the orchestra and conductors enthusiastic standing ovations - especially Diego Navarro, founder and Director of Fimucité.

You really had to be there to appreciate and experience some of the superlative musicianship, original arrangements of scores, local talent singing

Packed houses and standing ovations were the norm

007 (and other) film classics and world premieres of music which is going to be available worldwide via the Varèse Sarabande recording company, the most important company in the film music genre across the globe.

We couldn’t attend all of the concerts this year, although we’ll be making a supreme effort to do so in

2014. Our first event was Timpleland with Francis Hernández on piano and Beselch Rodríguez on timple playing a wide selection of mainly Disney classics, which we sincerely hope will be available as an album. Billed as cinema with a touch of timple the scores were imaginative, exciting and varied in tempo and treatment.

Our second concert saw us enjoying the blow you away sound of the Canarian Big Band under the baton of the superb saxophonist Kike Perdomo in a homage to Elmer Bernstein that is going to spread the fame of this Band worldwide with their recording for Varèse Sarabande.

Finally the two OST concerts – the first focussing on recent Marco Beltrami (one not yet released!) and David Arnold compositions and the 007 Bond music and the second with Vilallonga’s Blancanieves, the Dreamworks tribute and a tribute to 35 years of Varèse Sarabande records.

Check out the performances as they are filed on YouTube in the coming weeks and don’t miss this event next year if you can help it! The dates have already been announced: July 4 – 12, 2014.

Gran Canaria fury

T

Prime time TV programme

he picture of Gran Canaria portrayed by a prime time reality TV show has caused a storm of protest on the island, which wants an official apology from the programme.

Nationwide viewers of Callejeros were treated

to a description of one of Gran Canaria’s top tourist spots, Maspalomas, as a haven for “cruising gays”, particularly the area around the resort’s iconic Dunes. Other footage of the resort showed young people openly tak-

ing drugs outside a wellknown discotheque, while Las Palmas came across as a drug scene and rife with prostitution.

The broadcast sparked a flood of complaints on social media by locals angry at the picture painted

of their island. It is not the first time the programme has courted controversy in Gran Canaria. In 2010 a feature on the social problems of the Jinámar district of the capital led to a protest by politicians.

PIRS showcase

T

Green fingered rubbish

he Tenerife island council recently installed an industrial composting plant at the PIRS waste disposal site in Arico.

Council President Ricardo Melchior spoke proudly at the inauguration ceremony of how the latest improvements make the island’s system one of the leaders in waste disposal in the archipelago.

The improvements also include an updating

of the separation plant where household rubbish is apparently sorted into its various categories for

composting, recycling or dumping, at a rate of 70 tons per hour. The plant is expected to be able to sep-

arate around 27 per cent of garden and organic waste for further use, as well as three to seven per cent of metals, plastics and other recyclable materials.

The move comes as part of the council’s programme for the provision of ‘green’ employment: in this case creating new jobs from the rubbish that is generated daily all over the island.

North Tenerife Hospital

A&E to open

T

he new hospital being built in north Tenerife will have a fully operational A&E unit some time next year, the Canaries’ health minister has promised.

Delays have plagued the completion of the badlyneeded hospital in Icod de Los Vinos, with dates set for the opening of various wings repeatedly put back and a series of similar promises broken. The hospital was formally opened in July 2012 but with very limited services and much vaunted “new” specialist consultants turned out to be new quarters, but no new services as the consultants were transfers from La Orotava, Puerto de la Cruz

and Icod de los Vinos, resulting in a more difficult bus journey for many users.

However, during a visit to the premises in the middle of July, Canarian Minister Brígida Mendoza said that the tenders for the furniture and equipment of the A&E unit were about to be finalised and everything should be installed during 2014 and that the Radiology Department is “expected” to open before the end of this year. The news sparked furious comments on Facebook about the lack of movement in the building of the new hospital in the south of Tenerife and general scepticism that anything will be done at all.

News in Brief >>

Drink driving

Double trouble The Spanish government has confirmed it plans to double the fine for drinking and driving, which currently stands at €500 for a first offence.

The Interior Ministry says the Civil Guard’s Traffic Branch is finalising a proposal to raise the mandatory fine to €1000 for anyone caught at the wheel with more than the blood alcohol limit of 0.5g per litre (0.25mg per litre of exhaled air). Levels above 1.2 g/l of blood alcohol (0.6mg/l of air) are considered a criminal offence and punishable by a prison sentence and disqualification. There are no plans to change the current limits, according to ministry sources. Just over 100,000 drivers failed breathalyser tests in Spain last year and the authorities say they are determined to reduce the figure considerably.

Murder and manslaughter

Bodies found

The Canaries was in the news nationally and internationally for all the wrong reasons in the middle of July.

A couple who entered an apartment in La Camella, Tenerife to clean it after the tenants left found the corpse of a new born baby boy in the freezer. The female tenant was located and initial reports stated that she had been charged with killing the child, but she was released home to be with two of her children aged three and five. She allegedly told detectives she gave birth to the child alone in the flat, but doesn’t know if he was alive when he was placed in the freezer apparently to hide the pregnancy. An autopsy has shown that the child was born alive and the mother appeared in court to be told she is likely to be charged with manslaughter. Investigations continue. Over the water in Las Palmas, a bad smell alerted the authorities to check out a sea-front apartment in Las Canteras where they discovered the decomposing body of a woman who appears to be the Islands’ latest victim of domestic violence. An immediate manhunt began for her suspected assailant Swedish-born John Wallengren and an Interpol arrest warrant sworn out as it is suspected he has fled to Turkey. Details have emerged via the Swedish media of Wallengren’s background, which includes several convictions for violent crimes and drug trafficking.

Consular assistance onsular staff in Spain C assisted a total of 4,658 British citizens in need last year, according to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s (FCO’s) annual British Behaviour Abroad Report 2013.

Spain, the country most popular with British tourists and expatriates, saw significant decreases in arrests, detentions and hospitalisation cases – mainly due to local initiatives involving consular staff, police and hospital authorities.

Consular staff dealt with 101 arrests for drug offences in 2012/13 compared with 143 the year before.

General arrests reported to Consulates fell to 1,599 from 1,909 a year earlier, partly due to a new emphasis on directing resources towards the most vulnerable cases.

Hospitalisation cases fell to 899 from 1,105 in the previous year. Consular staff have been working

closely with local hospitals to make them more aware of the types of cases where the FCO can add real value. Consulates have also strengthened ties with charities that support British nationals in less critical situations, allowing staff to focus on the most needy.

Reported rape and sexual assault cases increased to 70 last year compared with 40 in 2011/12. Spain, along with Greece and Turkey, were the three countries in which the largest numbers of such cases were reported – destinations popular with young Brits for their busy nightlife.

Foreign & Commonwealth Office Minister Mark Simmonds, said: “I am proud that our staff continue to offer vital support to thousands of British travellers and residents around the world. Each case can represent great distress for the individuals concerned and for their families. I encourage all

British travellers to do everything they can to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip by taking some basic steps to prepare themselves before departure, including taking out comprehensive travel insurance and researching their destination.

“I am deeply concerned to see an increase in the number of reported rape and sexual assault cases involving British people.

The priority for our consular staff is the safety and wellbeing of British travellers and we will continue to work, including with other Governments and tour operators, to help to prevent further cases and provide all possible support for victims. This support includes explaining local procedures, accompanying people to the police station, helping them deal with local authorities and medical staff, and contacting friends and family at home if that is wanted.”

Soria under fire

Electricity hike

pain’s energy minister, S Canarian José Manuel Soria, risks becoming the

government’s most unpopular member after pushing through new legislation which has resulted in a 3.2 per cent rise in household electricity bills.

Soria is in the firing line after personally preparing the contents of the new law

to compensate the main power companies for losses in recent years, although he is at pains to point out that the increase would have been much greater if things had not been done his way.

“If I had passed on the whole of the current losses to consumers, the rise would have been 19 per cent but I have spread it across the electricity bills, the national budget

and the companies themselves” said Soria after the controversial cabinet meeting that approved the measures. The minister emphasised that the new law is not just about raising prices but also makes it easier to change company and forces all companies to improve their customer service operations.

major factor in cases involving young people visiting the Balearics, Turkey and Greek islands.

Consulates in Spain encourage visiting Britons to pack three essential items: Comprehensive travel insurance – read the small print, declare pre-existing medical conditions and make sure it covers you for everything you want to do, including adventurous activities. An uninsured person who is seriously injured or dies abroad can lead to repatriation bills running to thousands of pounds.

A European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) – so you can get state-funded medical care that may become necessary while you are in Spain. An EHIC is free and can be obtained via www. ehic.org.uk or by calling +44 (0) 845 606 2030.

Information about local laws – the more clued up you are, the less likely you are to find yourself on the wrong side of the law.

Country-specific local laws and customs can be found at www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice.

Spain received 13.6 million Britons during 2012 – almost a quarter of all overseas tourists - and an estimated 800,000 Britons are resident for all or part of the year. The countries where Britons are most likely to need consular assistance are the Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan. Spain is 11th on the list.

Transport

A

Ferry delay mystery

series of mysterious delays to crossings by one of the Fred Olsen ferries for a period of over a fortnight in the first half of the month has finally been cleared up. Following a string of complaints by passengers and goods

drivers at the poor time-keeping by the high-speed Benchijigua Express, with delays of up to two hours in some cases, the company admitted that the recurring problem had been caused by a serious and unanticipated fault in an engine that

was replaced just over a year ago. The fault forced the vessel to sail at a much slower speed than usual and meant it rarely met its departure and arrival times.

Fred Olsen issued an apology to those affected by the delays.

No trial for driver

Brake failure tragedy The trial over a fatal road accident in Las Palmas more than a year ago will not see the driver of the lorry that caused the pile-up involving 20 vehicles take the stand, but his supervisor at the haulage firm.

The multiple collision on one of the main roundabouts leading into the capital was caused in March 2012 when the lorry’s brakes failed, sending it careering into a line of cars queuing at a traffic light. One woman died when her vehicle burst into flames due to the impact. However, in a bizarre twist the investigating judge

has decided that the driver could do nothing to avoid the crashes after his brakes failed totally. Instead, his supervisor at the well-known firm is to be prosecuted for allowing the 18-year-old Pegaso lorry to be driven despite not having a valid ITV road worthiness certificate.

It was the responsibility of the supervisor, as head of vehicle maintenance, to ensure the lorry’s brakes were in working order, said the judge in issuing the committal proceedings. The devastation caused by the accident took a full day to clear.

The lorry piled into cars waiting at traffic lights

Woman remanded

Boyfriend fatally stabbed A woman from Gran Canaria has been charged with the murder of her boyfriend in the villa the couple shared in Playa Arinaga, although police are not fully convinced that she acted alone.

Arantxa Amoeda, 24, was arrested after the body of her 42year-old partner was found eight days after he was killed by a stab wound to the chest in the garage of the villa. Police were alerted to the situation after reports of foul smells coming from the property. Although Amoeda, who is originally from Vigo in northern Spain, confessed to the killing, which was apparently triggered by a heated row, detectives believe she could not have moved the body by herself from the spot where the knife blow was delivered. Amoeda appeared before a court in Telde after her arrest and was remanded to the one of the island’s two prisons.

Volunteer prisoner

Do not pass go!

A young La Palma man who robbed a local bank at knifepoint and then turned himself in hours later is thought to have been so desperate at his situation that he was willing to commit himself to jail so as not to worry about living costs.

The theory emerged in papers and from sources on the island the day after the man turned up at the island’s jail and openly stated what he had just done. Staff and witnesses at the La Caixa bank in Santa Cruz described how he entered the branch and demanded money while producing a large knife which he used to threaten tellers. He made off with around €300 but turned up at the prison a short time later to confess his crime.

“Biblical film” speculation Canaria have let slip that the film could have a biblical flavour, with the story of Moses leading his people into exodus a strong possibility. Scott asked to see a number of natural locations from the air and was quoted at the time as saying he needed to find “somewhere with loads of rocks, mountains and desert”.

umours that film director Ridley Scott has chosen Tenerife’s Mount Teide as a location for a big new production are gathering pace on the island, although no formal confirmation has been given.

Several papers report that the award-wining director of box-office hits such as Gladiator, Alien and Blade Runner has shown keen interest in shooting on Tenerife, following a visit paid to the island back in the spring.

One of the towns worst affected is Güímar, where another 30 metres of cable went missing recently from street lamps in the Chacona district. The town hall has issued a plea to the public to report suspicious activity around lamp posts immediately to the police to try and catch the cable thieves. In nearby Candelaria over 1,000 metres of copper cable were stolen from street lamps back in May, forcing the council to switch to aluminium to reduce the attraction for thieves.

Playa del Duque danger T

he waters off Playa del Duque, one of the prime beaches in the south of Tenerife, were recently found to be temporarily contaminated.

After the alarm was raised, investigators from the Canarian government’s Public Health department visited the beach and found significantly higher levels of an unnamed microorganism which could have caused a risk to bathers. The local council decided to wait for the results of a further analysis before deciding whether to close the beach or not, and as the second tests showed more favourable results this wasn’t considered necessary.

However, despite the council indicating that the

contamination was probably the result of a one-off illegal waste disposal incident the opposition Canarian Coalition party announced they had been warning the council for the last year about the problem.

The local council’s investigators are apparently searching for the perpetrators of the problem with the view of imposing a fine. On the plus side, it shows that there is constant vigilance at least in this part of the island to control the safety of the water for users.

Just days after Santa Cruz council erected barriers to prevent users from accessing an unsafe cliffface section of the Las Gaviotas beach near Las Teresitas, La Orotava took the decision to ban people from accessing the popular (but at times hazardous) Los Patos beach, albeit for an entirely different reason.

The decision was taken due to worries that the steps leading down to Los Patos might give way due

to their poor condition.

“The deterioration detected in the steps is the cause of the ban and we do not know how long it will take to replace them” said a council spokesman. Although understanding the need to prioritise safety and

It’s believed that the recession will have diminished a little in the second quarter of the year with a fall in the GDP of just 0.1 per cent the Bank estimates, which puts the year on year figure at down 1.8 per cent.

The organisation underlines that the information for this forecast is still incomplete, although it gives an idea and shows an improvement of 0.4 points over the first quarter where the drop was 0.5 per cent. If the figure of 0.1 per cent is confirmed at the end of July, it will be the best news registered in the Spanish economy since the third quarter of 2011.

above the seasonal changes.

Employment costs are levelling out, resulting in a significant reduction in labour costs of around three per cent on the year on year figures.

Inflation too has the brakes on, staying approximately in line with the consumer price index and responding in particular to the price of food and energy. According to the Bank, it is forecast that inflation will continue to slow down once the effects of the increases of direct taxation have been dissipated.

elieve it when you see it may be the cry, but the administrations are calling for a higher level of ef ficiency from their employees.

In a conference on the modernisation and training of public administrations for citizen service held in the second half of July, Mario Pérez the Deputy Minister for Canarian Domestic Policy claimed that, “the reform of the public administrations will improve our economic competitiveness and help to create employment.

“The administration finds itself at the moment with a challenge to change to be more efficient and provide better quality services and contrary to what you might believe doesn’t mean a reduction in employment, but completely the contrary. Reforming the public administrations will improve economic competitiveness by eliminating bureaucracy and reducing the waiting time for certain procedures, which will help create employment,” he stated.

The conference, which the councillor referred to as, “an interchange of experiences based on good

practices,” was funded by the CE, with the cooperation of the Governments of Cape Verde, Mauritania and Senegal under the project Ofitec, which seeks to find answers on how to improve the capabilities of the various municipal departments and speed up the procedures on legal matters dealing with urban planning and the environment.

The cost to local administrations was clearly to the fore in the presentation and discussions. According to Pérez, a face to face administrative procedure costs an average of €80, but that cost is reduced to just €5 if it is carried out via the computer and cuts back on the paperwork handled by the administrations as well as speeding up the process and reducing costs.

Some 20 specialists took part to see how computerising their administrative procedures can save time and money and to understand better what the Bolkenstein Directive means for their departments.

tock markets have become a real rollercoaster ride for investors in the last four years.

The global financial crisis has plagued the majority of the western world putting their economies in to a constant state of flux. Returns on bank interest-bearing accounts have now become the lowest they have ever been.

Taking inflation into account, real returns are nearly impossible to achieve.

Investors, who may have capital on deposit and are looking for a safe and secure investment, backed by an A A rated financial institution, should consider the following questions:

Time-share fraud

A mass timeshare fraud investigation has resulted in dozens of arrests including many Britons.

As we go to press almost 60 people are being quizzed over the alleged sale of nonexistent timeshare deals to tourists in the Mogán and Arguineguín areas of the island.

Police say several thousand holidaymakers may have been conned by the highly-organised operation, which has been under investigation for some time following a string of complaints from victims.

According to media reports, the scam was headed by an elderly German with a track record of fraud, and a British woman. The investigation continues.

Looking for solid returns on investment?

Do I want the capital I invest guaranteed not to fall?

Do I want a return better than cash in the bank?

Do I want to invest with an A A financially rated company with in excess of

£350 billion in assets?

Do I want the option to take income from the investment?

Do I want to sleep at night and not worry about stock market fluctuations?

If the answer is yes to any of the above then Sebastian & St James International have an investment you might be interested in. For added peace of mind, the investment is also Spanish tax compliant.

or nature lovers, adventure seekers and bargain hunters, camping and caravanning can be a great way to spend a holiday.

However, you can’t just set up your tent or park your caravan or mobile home just anywhere as it’s prohibited except in designated areas.

Luckily, there are now many private and publicly owned campsites, as well as forest and beach areas run by the local councils where you are welcome to camp as long as you have the required permissions.

Many of the arrangements can now be made online, though it can take around seven days for permission to be granted so it is worth planning ahead. Here you will find a round up of some of the main campsites around the islands as well as lots of useful contact information to help you start your holiday adventure.

l Hierro has escaped more volcanic eruptions, despite renewed activity between Januar y and March this year, when earth tremors reminded islanders of their troubles a year earlier. Seismic activity from October 2011 to March 2012 caused near ruin to tourism and export trades and this year’s looked potentially even more serious.

The El Golfo area was thrust upwards, and the eastward drift of the whole island caused La Gomera’s inhabitants to wonder just how close it would come.

Then it all petered out.

The lifting subsided, the island stopped moving and the tremors calmed down, to huge sighs of relief all round, especially given that this year the four-yearly ‘Bajada de La Virgen de Los Reyes’ fiesta takes place between July 6 and August 3, attracting 25,000 visitors.

Many islanders believe their patron saint had a hand in calming the troubled magma: “I prayed to her to intercede, so that we could have the Bajadaâ€?, says MarĂ­a Esther Febles, with her grand daughter Yara confirming that she and her friends had also asked for her help.

and although the population of El Hierro is less than ten thousand, almost three times that number get together every four years to walk and dance the length of the island.

This is all because of what happened to a group of shepherds four hundred and sixty-seven years ago, on the dark, stormy night of January 5,1546 when they huddled in a cave, blasted by the gales screaming in across the open Atlantic.

Next morning, they saw that a ship had been blown in to nearby Orchilla. Although it looked nothing like the North African boats that occasionally raided, they were cautious and stayed hidden, watching an elderly man, “of honourable aspect�, being rowed ashore. They went down and the old captain told them his Genoese vessel had suffered losses in the storm and needed provision-

ing. Water, meat, cheese and wool were exchanged for a statue of the Madonna and Child with “miraculous properties� that had been on its way to Cuba on the ship. The ship sailed, leaving the shepherds with the statue and they carried her to their cave and renamed it “La Cueva de la Virgen�.

She became “La Virgen de los Reyes� and her fame for miraculous cures and answered prayers grew. Her present chapel was built in 1577. When drought hit at the turn of the century,

livestock, then people, died.

The drought continued. In 1614 wells dried up, leaving islanders with no fresh water. The authorities refused permission to process the popular Madonna, to see if she might bring rain, so one March night, eight shepherds carried her across the island to caves near Valverde.

The Madonna was welcomed, bells rang, clouds formed and torrential rain fell. The drought was over but opinion was divided. Islanders were convinced it was a miracle, the authorities not.

When drought returned in 1740, an official decision was made to repeat the procession to Valverde. It rained again. Four-yearly processions in her honour were planned and in 1745, the Bajada was born. It has taken place ever since and is El Hierro’s most important event.

Two Bajadas ago, I was there, waiting for the off at five am on a borrowed horse. The enormous crowd erupted, rockets fired, horses panicked and musicians struck up pipe and percussion music that would continue till we reached Valverde. We were off.

Day broke to the extraordinary sight of a solid, mov-

ing river of people snaking into the distance. There were dancers, dressed in white with colourful headgear, leaping the HerreĂąo dance, pipers piping, the elderly, the very young and all ages in between. Swirling mist and fine volcanic dust added a surreal touch.

By midday, we arrived at La Cruz de los Reyes. This beautiful spot in the mountains is where the procession halts to dance, eat and rest.

Under some trees on a hill, we tethered the horses and watched thousands winding down the mountainside behind us. Below, hundreds of dancers and musicians performed together, an incredible sight.

The procession has strict protocols. At each “raya“, or boundary mark, the Madonna changes hands when villagers dance and pipe their own saints out to receive her and proudly carry her on to the next change.

When the procession eventually reaches Valverde at around 11.p.m, the tiny capital erupts in a cacophony of deafening rockets, bells and pipes, streets jammed full of euphoric, dusty islanders, who party on into the small hours.

The Bajada procession is the spectacular beginning of this month-long celebration which continues, with a wide range of events all over the island, until August 3, when the Subida takes place and everyone gathers in Valverde’s Concepción church before dawn to prepare for the off on the homeward procession.

The Madonna and her accompanying crowds set off at 5.45am, travelling twentyeight kilometres back down the length of the island. At the boundary rayas, the saints take their leave of the patron saint and are danced back to their villages. Cruz de Los Reyes is once again the lunch and midday break spot and the Madonna will eventually arrive back at her chapel at night, danced in to the sound of HerreĂąo pipes and great rejoicing.

July / August Film showings will take place on the beach on July 26 & 27 and August 9 & 10, starting at 9pm.

The first show of its kind in the islands, the exhibition unites 83 very different types of art and design in a collection aptly known as ‘The Landscape’s Conscience’. It will be shown in both Tenerife and Gran Canaria and offers a unique insight into the man who had so much influence over the way the eastern islands developed.

César Manrique, from Lanzarote, was a painter, sculptor, architect, ecologist, construction advisor, urban planner and landscape designer. All of these aspects of this incredible man, who died in 1992, are represented in the collection, the biggest on public show to date. Amongst other things, Manrique worked tirelessly to promote harmony in urban development, to create an environment that would be conducive to public health and happiness, rather than destructive. Organised in conjunction with the CajaCanarias Foundation, the exhibition includes paintings, photos and drawings that have been supplied by the César Manrique Foundation as well as various other institutions and private collectors. Until August 10 a collection of his earlier works can be seen at the CajaCanarias Cultural

Amazing

Stroll through

traditions and time T

he latest set of concerts by the Amazing Folklore Group gives listeners the chance to enjoy a variety of local music and customs from all over South America.

Mixing traditional with modern, the show is as varied as the musicians and singers themselves, whose ages range between 16 and 60. Thus the group’s repertoire is diverse, covering many different styles of music and dance, from a variety of eras.

The band was formed in 2006, by members of various well known Canarian folk groups, as part of the Arona Verodal cultural association. There are presently 32 members who, between them, play an impressive array of instruments and form a delightful male choir. From Argentina to Mexico, the Stroll around America concert, on July 27 at 8.30pm, is one not to be missed by anyone who enjoys Latin American folk music.

Tickets cost €10 and are available from the cafeteria at the side of the auditorium.

Letting advice T

IBC would like to ad- vail over any papers signed. vice property owners The main changes are as folof the various chang- lows: es to the letting laws that have taken place recently.

Shorter periods The official gazette for Spain brought the law into force to provide flexibility and the stabilisation of the rental market laws on urban renting. The changes affect both owners and tenants, granting them new rights whilst giving them obligations to be met at the time of writing a contract. Experts stress that the legislation eases the relationship between the parties, who can reach agreements freely, within reason, to pre-

Legal deadlines are reduced for the duration of the lease.

The so-called ‘mandatory extension’ which is signed in the first contract, went from five years to three. After this period, the contract can be renewed on an annual basis.

Energy certificate accreditation From June 1, it is mandatory to have the new energy

certificate in place to be able to sell a property or rent it for longer than four months.

This energy label (which gives a rating from A, the most efficient, to G, the least) is valid for ten years and the owner must provide the tenant with a copy. Otherwise, the penalties for the homeowner are between €300 and €6,000.

It is also required if you renew the lease.

Review of income The owner and tenant can negotiate, after the third year, a change to the rental price, either upward or

downward, without having to link it to the price index.

Until now the increase was mandatory and could only use the price index.

Costs of property reforms The tenant can request reforms to be made to the property and the owner and tenant can come to an agreement to have the costs taken from the rent.

Streamlining the eviction process In case of default, even with one month’s arrears, (the tenant has ten days to

pay from receipt of the request for payment), the contract is canceled and this starts the eviction process.

The eviction may be made within ten days, significantly reducing paperwork and notifications. On the other hand, the tenant may ‘weaken’ the action and avoid trial and subsequent eviction by paying the rent owed. At which point the owner may reactivate the lease.

n a tribute to the veteran broadcaster who died recently, this programme examines Alan Whicker’s ground-breaking, 50year career. A true TV pioneer, he brought the world into people’s living rooms - from Venice to Palm Beach, Hong Kong to the Australian Outback, on the QE2 or the Orient

Express - and interviewed some fascinating characters. There are contributions from those who worked with Alan, and from people who were inspired by his work on series like Tonight and Whicker’s World.

There are also reflections on an incredible life by the man himself, in previously unseen interviews.

Tenerife Office ::

Tenerife Office

United in strength J

ust one year ago FanabeProperties.com and TenerifeProperties.es joined together to form Tenerife Office.

This successful union has meant they are able to provide a better and more comprehensive service for all their clients. A wider range of properties, greater transparency of working methods and more rapid service all combine to ensure that each and every client has access to all of the best advantages.

Their mission is to always put customer satisfaction first, and to ensure that the Tenerife Office name is always synonymous with honesty, professionalism and trust, making sure that all of your investments have the greatest safeguards possible.

But don’t think that all they are is reliable estate agents - they can also provide a wide range of administrative and legal services for both residents and non residents.

These include helping you acquire your N.I.E number and residency

Let Tenerife office help you through the mountain of paperwork

papers, through to insuring your car, home, health and other aspects of your life. Many services can be done via their new website www. tenerifeproperties.es or via the

original www.fanabeproperties.com.

Through these they can even assist with applications for the installation of a land line or with ordering a mobile telephone, putting your

property up for sale or rent, as well as helping you to look for a property to buy or rent in Tenerife.

Their aim is to make moving to and living in Tenerife as simple and

painless as possible. They have an in-depth knowledge of the Spanish legal system and are well practiced in resolving any and all issues you may have. Sales, of course, but there is plenty more yet: if you wish to make reforms to an existing property and need help with the application process; if you want to know how to make your property more secure; or if you just need general advice.

They are only a phone call away one single office for all your requests - and they have English speaking specialist consultants who can resolve any problem you may have.

See: www.tenerifeoffice.es / www.tenerifeproperties.es or www.fanabeproperties.com .

Alternatively, call 656 915 914.

TIBC ::

Letting law amendments Continued from page 19

A number of changes to the letting laws have been brought in recently. Here TIBC continues with the summary and talks about insurance.

Facilities to leave or recover the property The tenant can leave the house once they have spent at least six months in the property, without having to wait to finish the first year’s contract.

They can simply give a months’ notice and will not have to pay compensation (except when the

contract specifies to the contrary).

Meanwhile, the owner may request to recover the house as his or her habitual residence should it be needed for him or a first degree member of the family (such as a spouse after a divorce or annulment).

One year must have elapsed since the signing of the contract and the owner must notify tenants at least two months before.

of the contract, including any forced extension.

Be the first to take a Liberty with TIBC

Selling of a house which has tenants

In October, the company will be presenting an Islands wide campaign, called Take a Liberty with TIBC. In all the years TIBC have been selling insurance, they have seen a few tricks played so they have come up this campaign.

A buyer purchasing a home that is rented out will not have to respect the lease. However, when the contract has been entered in the land registry, things change.

In this case the buyer is obliged to allow the continuation of the terms

They will be asking people to bring in all their policies so they can check you have the correct coverage and are paying a fair price. Large savings can be made on your annual insurance budget by doing this. Many people took their policies out when they first

bought their property, and insured at that value. As we all know, the economic crisis has put paid to the large rebuilding values of properties.

Many people also took out their car insurance when they first purchased their cars and, generally speaking, policy prices go up – not down. So a review is highly recommended. The company expects the demand for this service to be huge and therefore it is advisable to book an appointment by calling either Jill or Dani on 922 730210.

One of the worst offenders is mortgage protection insurance policies with financial institutions.

A TIBC client was paying €183 a month and ended up paying €363 a year. As she said, enough to pay her supermarket bill for a year.

And as you can see, to be able to

rent a property it must be brought up to date. They also suggest that, if you have not already had one, you pop in for a complete Document Health Check to ensure that all your paperwork is how it should be.

Please note that their office will be open only between 9.30am and 2pm for the holiday period, but all banking, insurance and general TIBC services will continue as usual, with Dani and Jo managing the office between the July 29 and the August 12.

Wine exports from the Canaries last year totalled 750,000 litres, with Germany the top destination (164,000), although closely followed by the United States.

The figure, although relatively high given the lack of knowledge abroad of the wines produced in the islands, should be much higher according to sector bosses, including Tenerife’s most senior agriculture official, José Juan Bethencourt, although he admitted that access to certain markets can be “extremely difficult” due to red tape and the virtual monopoly enjoyed by major wine cellars. Among the interesting findings thrown up by the publication of the export figures for the 2011-12 wine year are the 500 litres of wine exported by La Orotava and 400 litres by Ycoden Daute Isora area to Japan.

In July this year, 7,354 bottles of wine from Bodegas Domínguez, Viñatigo and the Sociedad Cooperativa del Campo Frontera headed for Hong Kong along with cheeses from Grupo Ganaderos de Fuerteventura, Quesería de Benijos and Queso Palmero and this month will see the exportation of 14,820 litres of wine from Bodegas Frontón de Oro, Matías Torres, Viñatigo and Los Bermejos to New York. It’s the sixth massive wine cargo to leave for the United States, a market which has welcomed the Islands wines and appreciates the variety of Canarian products.

Restaurante La Cúpula

An evening to savour Too many superlatives can often lead to an over-gilding of the lily.

Rest. La Cupula,

Address Hotel Jardines de Nivaria, Calle Paris, Playa de Fañabé, 38660 Costa Adeje, Tenerife.

Tel: 00 34 92 713 369 Open: 7pm to 11pm. Closed on Sunday.

Loo Score 10/10 www.adrianhoteles.com/ jardinesdenivaria

By John I shall therefore do my best to try to moderate my enthusiasm for the Hotel Jardines de Nivaria and its flagship gourmet restaurant La Cúpula.

Each year we go away for a few days to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Last year, for example, we stayed at the Grand Hotel Mencey, the Iberostar flagship in Santa Cruz.

The Jardines de Nivaria is situated in the south of our fair island of Tenerife, hard by the beach on Playa de Fañabé. Set in exquisite mature gardens, with two swimming pools, it was almost a pleasure to part with our hard earned money in exchange for the delights it had to offer.

One such was La Cúpula, one of three restaurants within the hotel, and clearly their most prestigious, the kitchen brigade being led by chef Ruben Cabrera.

It is open to the general public, and recently has won the award for Best Hotel Restaurant in a well-known Canary Islands publication, hence the main reason for concentrating on it here.

It really does hide its light under a bushel. No signage betrays its presence within the main part of the hotel until you literally arrive at its portals. Broaching them, one is transported to another dimension. There is a lot of dark wood, tall pillars, and a semi-circular bar area at one end. I thought that it was the epitome of a Dining Room in an old traditional London club, whilst my better half went for the restaurant of a 1930’s transatlantic liner. Either way, if you combine the two, you will get the picture. A relaxing, quality place to spend an evening.

Would the food live up to it?

Ushered to our table by Toni, the Head Waiter, we were handed a menu and a wine list. Staff shimmered about, seemingly anticipating our every need.

We placed our orders, including

a bottle of white Martin Codax from the eponymous Bodega in DO Rias Baixas in northern Spain (€29.75). At 100 per cent Albarino, it was well worth the money, delicately crafted and with a nice long finish.

An amuse bouche was laid before us; it was presented in a large bowl and turned out to be a small rectangle of seared tuna (yes, still very pink in the middle) with a topping of tiny chopped slivers of green tomato, the whole surrounded by a pool of clear mushroom broth, intensely reduced to provide a heady flavour.

My starter was a dish of four fresh scallops flown in, we were told, from the Peninsula. They came with a side jug of spicy barbecue sauce, and the dish was flamed at our table as a piece of elegant theatre (€20.50). My wife chose the ceviche of very fresh turbot topped with three avocado bombs, a couple of tiny erect deep-fried banana spears, and a scattering of red currants (€15.50). The turbot was just perfect and the avocado bombs, looking for all the world like green grapes, defied description. Truly a triumph both of artistry and substance.

The waitresses continued to shimmer about and the head waiter gave a perfect imitation of Jeeves, appearing to my shoulder as if materialising from the ether, always a second before being needed. A rare talent

have already emailed Bodegas Insulares, enquiring where I can buy it. And so to coffee, taken out on the terrace, watching a glittering moon arcing through a dark and silken sky. What an evening for an anniversary!

indeed. See, already too many superlatives, and we had yet to reach the main course.

These were to be variously a duck dish (€20.50) and a steak dish (€24.50). The duck was wild, set on a bed of leek and potatoes and accompanied by a delicious almond and garlic jelly.

Wild duck is notoriously smaller than the cultivated variety, but the chef had managed to instil both succulence and flavour. My steak (which gave a nod to an old bugbear of mine, nouvelle cuisine) had been sourced from the Esla Valley in northern Spain.

In my ignorance, I confessed never to have heard of the place, and was assured that it is renowned as the habitat of those beasts that provide the best beef on the Peninsula. Who am I to disagree? A pause then led to dessert which for my wife

was a sorbet of Grand Marnier and mandarin accompanied by mint ice chips (€7.00) and for me, the much trumpeted Bonsai of my Dreams. I had no idea what I would be getting, but it turned out to be a small dark chocolate tree decorated with fresh mint leaves. Its base was secured in a shallow bowl and surrounded, as though by a verdant pasture, with green mint granita garnished with tiny edible fresh flowers.

By its side was a bowl of dry ice spreading its clouds to imitate my bonsai tree being in a magical garden. This cost an extremely reasonable €9.50 for something that one will remember and dine out on to ones friends for a long time to come.

Such levels of quality of ingredients and execution of dishes is a clear marker for targeting a Michelin star.

Sorry again, more superlatives, it’s hard to avoid them.

My wife was brought a golden bowl of dessert chocolates, scattered on edible soil with yet more tiny flower petals.

A long stemmed red rose was delivered. And finally, as Trevor Macdonald used to say on News at Ten, I came to my own personal nirvana. A glass of Humboldt Tinto Dulce 2001 (straight from the ice bucket) was put before me. I knew it not. I smelt it. I savoured it. I sipped it. I was transported. I

Comparisons are invidious, but I could not help but compare it to our anniversary of last year. Was there a winner? Well, let’s just say that the Hotel Mencey came a distant second in all divisions!

The restaurant menu changes regularly. On our visit there were a choice of seven starters, four fish dishes, five meat dishes (including a chateaubriand for two at €56 and Canarian suckling pig at €20, which we were told was a firm favourite with regular diners) and five desserts. The chef also offers a tasting menu.

Do go to this restaurant. It offers cuisine on a very different level.

Ask for Toni and he will, I am sure, make your evening one to remember. If you can spare the time, stay at the hotel too!

Neither will disappoint you.

Dear Dr. De La Flor Coaching Corner

Dear Dr De La Flor,

By Dr. De La Flor

I would like to know what’s your favorite breakfast?

By the way, I need to lose some weight. Any advice?

Thanks, Pauline

As a teenager, I had the opportunity to go to the Eternal City. While touring one of the Catacombs we were shown an inscription in a gladiator’s

Dear Pauline,

cell at the Coliseum, “I am born, I live, I die, I don’t know why”. The quote got stuck to my heart and mind forever.

“Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.” The old saying still holds truth and plenty of wisdom. I enjoy a hearty ‘break’ ‘fast’.

1st Question: Muesli with some extra chopped fruit and low fat milk. Muesli is a popular breakfast meal based on uncooked rolled oats, fruit and nuts. It was developed around 1900 by Swiss Dr. Bircher-Benner.

He considered it a cardinal “portion” of the therapy at his hospital. Muesli in its modern form became popular in Western countries starting in the 1960s. Other ingredients could be dried fruits, milk products (e.g. milk, yogurt, cottage cheese), fruit juices, ground nuts, seeds, spices (cinnamon) and honey.

2nd Question: A healthy breakfast reduces our hunger later in the day, preventing us from overeating. Prolonged fasting - which occurs when you skip breakfast - can increase our body’s insulin response, which in tur n increases fat storage. A good breakfast also gives us energy, increasing our capacity for physical and mental activity during the day.

Best wishes!

How sad it’ll be if in the last days of our life we could utter a similar sentence. The “I don’t know why” is a compel“I went to a restaurant that serves ‘breakfast at any time’ so I ordered French toast during the Renaissance.”

Steven Wright, American comedian, actor and writer.

Dear Dr De La Flor, I’ve had a heart attack before.

I’ve been told that my cholesterol is too high. Any advice?

Thanks, Jackie

Dear Dr De La Flor, I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for half a decade.

The saying there goes that “once you’ve lived in San Francisco, you’ve seen it all.”

I guess it didn’t work for me after reading the news a few weeks ago. It was about a successful Restaurant in Dallas named - ‘The Heart

Attack Grill’.

Their attractive members of staff are well-trained to make sure everyone eats as much as possible. From their menu you can order a Quadruple bypass Hamburger (worth nine meals!).’ The owner proudly uttered his popular saying outside to future customers “I’m going to serve you till you have a heart attack”. Recently one of his customers died of a heart attack. He was 29 and weighed 270 lbs…

Even more shocking to me was the fact that the owner was a Doctor! (A true jerk indeed!). This irresponsible Doctor had forgotten that we are supposed to set the bar high for our patients, encouraging them to achieve greater levels of health & fitness, and persuading them with passion and patience that a healthy lifestyle isn’t incompatible with fun and a varied nutritional plan.

Former Olympic Swimmer Mark Spitz stated that, “If you have high cholesterol, you would feel the same as if you had low cholesterol because there are no side

ef fects, no symptoms of having high cholesterol”.

Cholesterol clogs our arteries in a surreptitious manner, silently but in a deadly manner.

Please take the challenge of bringing it down seriously.

With proper diet, appropriate exercise, and perhaps a tablet you should be able to get it down. Please make sure that your GP helps you in preparing a personalized holistic action plan.

Thanks for asking and best wishes.

Electromagnetic radiation >

F

ollowing the recent International Day Against Electromagnetic Pollution the Ben MagecEcologists in Action Group has published a number of recommendations for avoiding over exposure.

Various studies, including one by the World Health Organisation, have shown this type of radiation as a possible cause of illnesses such as cancer, insomnia, infertility and neurological diseases. In 2011 the European Commission set up the ALARA Network to study effects, disseminate information, and to encourage the use of technology which emits the minimum possible electromagnetic radiation.

Two of the greatest concerns are mobile and wireless phones due to the high percentage of users. Whilst the fight against, and arguments for, the po-

Keep it down

sitioning of transmitter towers continues, Ben Magec has listed several ways in which we can at least minimise potential damage from our phone use.

For instance, try to keep the

duration of mobile and wireless phone calls down to a few minutes at a time, and preferably under an hour a day, using the loudspeaker as often as you can so the phone isn’t right

Emergency Phone Line next to the head while you are using it. Try not to make or take calls in areas where there is a poor signal as the phone will emit much stronger radiation in an attempt to make a connection. With this in mind it is also a good idea to not put the phone to your ear until the other person has answered your call.

Try to keep your phone in a bag rather than a pocket and avoid all contact with all of the body’s most sensitive organs such as the genitals and chest area. Pregnant women should never place the phone near their abdomens and ideally very young children should not be allowed to use mobiles and wireless phones. And finally, if children are playing games on a phone it is best to turn it onto flight mode.

he results of a health study carried out in Spain point once again to the benefits of following a Mediterraneanstyle diet.

The director of the Public Health department of Las Palmas University, Lluis Serra Majem, used a visit to the Adeje Summer University to present the recently published results of the Predimed Nutrition study. The investigation followed 7,500 people over a period of six years.

Participants came from all over Spain, including the Canary Islands, and were divided into

diovascular disease than, for instance, the group which followed a healthy, but very low fat, diet.

Fats have been maligned for much of the last generation and a lot of the responsibility for this can be laid at the food manufacturer’s door – the boom in ‘diet’ products has encouraged the public to steer clear of all fats. However,

that lesbian and gay couples should not be eligible for the treatment on the national health, stating that situation was, “not a medical problem” and public funds should thus not be used in this way.

A number of changes and updates for the health service are currently being debated by ministers, including parameters for other areas such as genetic investigation, intensive care treatment and organ transplants.

Honest & Affordable (From €40) many of these products are laden with sugar and it is this, says Luis Serra and many other nutritionists, which is the real enemy, particularly in the fight against diabetes.

The Mediterranean diet has long been promoted as a means to a longer and healthier life and is based on a comparatively high intake of olive oil, legumes, fruit, vegetables and unrefined cereals. A low to moderate consumption of fish is recommended, as well as unadulterated dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt. Wine in moderation, particularly red wine, is considered beneficial and has been shown to have positive effects on the cardiovascular system, whilst meat and meat products should be kept to a minimum.

Surprisingly, total fat intake would be around 25 to 35 per cent of calories though, importantly, with saturated fat at eight per cent or less.

It is thought that it is the high levels of olive oil that has one of the greatest benefits on health. Studies suggest it can play a part in reducing coronary heart disease risk and regulating cholesterol levels, as well as having anti-inflammatory and anti-hypertensive effects.

have to add, and when the pain went right across the shoulder and down the right arm, I decided to take action at last.

hope you are all well, and enjoying our lovely summer. Yet many of us remember friends who have left our lovely island and have gone back to the U.K.

My friend Stephen had several times helped the muscular pain, but the neck was another matter.

Some years back, you could pop into Palm Practice in Costa del Silencio and find at least two of the island’s entertainers waiting there for treatments from David and Pat. Our hectic lifestyle of two and three strenuous shows every night meant that we all suffered from bad backs, knees, etc and needed their tender care to keep us working, especially the dancers. A lot of us had come here in the early 90s, and as the years rolled by, we needed them even more.

Then about five years ago, they decided to return home, and went to live in Scotland.

And to this very day, I am still receiving emails from people who want to know where they’ve moved to as Palm Practice is no more. The Swallows and summer holidaymakers in particular keep ask-

ing me where I can recommend them to go for treatment.

Now I’m not in the habit of endorsing anyone without a personal history of treatment, so I’m pleased to tell you about Luke Ramsey, a chiropractor in Los Cristianos.

Because of osteoporosis, I have a lot of problems, but my cervical spine is at the moment the most trouble, because of the pain, and the alarming ‘clicks’.

I didn’t know what to do, so I researched the condition on the internet, was none the wiser I

Begging your pardon!

Dear Editor

ough times for everyone as the unemployment here soars and beggars in car parks, street corners and traffic lights have become the norm rather than the exception.

In among the begging scams and scroungers, there are undoubtedly some real hardship cases out there, but I would advise people to direct any charity donations via ‘official’ sources who are better able to know where the real need exists.

As an example, at the entrance to the Ramblas in the Tenerife capital the other a day, a man carried a cardboard sign asking for help for himself and his family of eight children. Now

EDITION 700 :: 26/07/2013 - 08/08/2013 :: ISLAND CONNECTIONS

I rang the Cristianos clinic and was put through to Luke who, not knowing me from Adam, very kindly took ages to help me on the phone, and then agreed to give up his lunch hour the next day to see me.

He explained the problem, and described several ways of treating the cervical spine, then delicately and gently went to work.

After the treatment he introduced me to his sister, a charismatic and very talented sports injury therapist.

So I am delighted to finally find someone who can help those of us who had no idea what to do when our long standing ‘gurus’ left for home, and I leave you all safely in his extremely capable hands.

His treatment rooms are as I said

earlier, in Los Cristianos. If you park in the harbour, and walk into the village, when you get to Burger King, look for the Centro Don Antonio and you’ll find his clinic there next to the café.

Or give him a call on 922 748904. His website is http:// www.lukeramsay.com/ He is so well qualified that he travels to Barcelona to lecture in Chiropractics. I personally am relieved to find a qualified chiropractor as Google was no help in my search. To be honest, I wish I’d not waited so long before trying to find one.

I do hope this has been some help to those of you who, like me, were left in ‘no man’s land’ when David and Pat went back to the UK to live.

And if any of you have stories that can help the rest of us, please email me on Katykennedy@telefonica.net Or give me a ring, 616 110 930.

Until next time, take care of yourselves, and especially of each other.

it could well be that the large family, Nike shirt and training shoes and leather bum bag were part of a previous wealthier and employed lifestyle, but the packet of top brand cigarettes in said bum bag were a recent purchase.

If you haven’t got cash for your family, you haven’t got cash for vices as far as I’m concerned.

Name and address with Editor

Parking blackmail Dear Editor

I

picked up your paper during my holiday and you seem like the sort of people who would care about what is happening all over the island it seems to me.

A bunch of us came over to see the Fimucité concerts and

stayed in various hotels in the south, Puerto de la Cruz and the capital to see a bit of the island whilst we were here.

There seems to be an epidemic of usually male parking helpers who give you help and advice you don’t need and then expect a handout for ‘looking after’ your car. Rather along the lines of the mafia’s protection insurance, the implication is that if you don’t give them something your belongings will be damaged.

If there is no way of stopping these people, isn’t there at least a way of licensing them so that they have proper badges or hats, identification and a background check? More income for the councils, social security and the tax office and fewer seedy characters hanging around classy venues like the Auditorium.

We went for a meal in one of the lovely café/restaurants in La Noria on our last night and parked on an empty plot at the end of the road. There

was nobody there when we parked but when we came away we were accosted for some money for “un café” and when I refused, the man there called me a “zorra”!

Parking next to the swimming pools because the Auditorium’s car park was full, we met another of the species and felt obliged to give him something as, dressed as we were and heading for the Auditorium, it was obvious that the car would be on its own for hours. It spoiled the evening worr ying about what might be happening to our suitcases whilst we were supposedly enjoying the concert.

Your island really needs to clean up its act and start living up to the upmarket image it tries to project.

Horoscopes July 26 – August 8, 2013

Aries 21.03. – 20.04.

You will be surprised by an unreasonable bill.

Don’t just lie down and accept it. Find the time to check it out, you may be in for a pleasant surprise – and a refund!

Taurus 21.04. – 20.05.

A personal dilemma is going to work out much better and more quickly than anticipated. Support from your friends and family is forthcoming and vital right now.

Gemini 21.05. – 21.06.

If you are able to narrow your focus sufficiently, you can get through this pressured phase. Keep the faith as it will quickly pass.

Cancer 22.06. – 22.07.

Success will arrive via an impromptu business proposal or social invitation that will change your immediate outlook for the better. Keep your eyes and ears open.

Leo 23.07. – 23.08.

Financially, things are looking up. This could be due to a sudden windfall, or a change in your employment category. Stick with it; you are doing everything right at the moment.

Virgo 24.08. – 23.09.

You need to tie up loose ends and complete projects that need to be done in order to move on to something new that is hovering promisingly on the horizon.

Libra 24.09. – 23.10.

You want to change your destiny or get back together with one who’s been estranged. Be very sure that this is what you really need at this moment in your life.

Scorpio 24.10. – 22.11.

Your success will come through repeat clients, social connections, and business associates.

Move on to new ideas instead of trying to ‘make do’ or ‘stick out’ the old.

Sagittarius 23.11. – 21.12.

You want the work you do to mean something or to have value for others over and above monetary value. Although often unpaid or lower paid, charity work may give you fulfilment.

Carpicorn 22.12. – 20.01.

Documents and paperwork are going to occupy much of your time - boring and time consuming but necessary. However this could also indicate success in legal matters that you have set in train.

Aquarius 21.01. – 20.02.

You will receive support from your boss or superior, a job offer, or an unexpected financial or career opportunity. Doors you thought shut are finally beginning to crack open.

Susan Briggs Brighton

Pisces 21.02. – 20.03.

New success will come through a new career direction or a romantic change of heart -- a happy change. You are moving into a positive phase of your life.

Red Cross

K9 /FOTA car boot sales

The Red Cross in Gran Canaria recently held its second Solidarity Walk for pets.

Almost 150 dogs and their companions met in La Puntilla for the walk which led them through El Confital military base in Las Palmas. It must have been quite a sight to see so many dogs and friends out for a walk, especially as they travelled through the usually

Live Arico/ PAWS

restricted military zone.

The annual walks are part of an ongoing initiative by the Red Cross to raise awareness and levels of pet care on the islands. Back in May they ran their first ever first aid for pets course. As it proved so popular it has been followed with further courses in Gran Canaria and, it is hoped, will be taken up on the other islands.

Video competition

Doggywood stars

Have you got the X factor?

There is nothing so funny sometimes as our furry or feathery companions.

There’s no doubt they have personalities and, as well as giving us all the love they have, they are an endless source of amusement.

And isn’t it just great when you have a video around to catch those hilarious moments? Well, it could now also win you a copy of the fabulous Nobody’s Poodle book - the ‘tail’ of a loveable ex-pat pooch uprooted from his home in cold, damp, muddy old England to start a new life in Tenerife.

All you have to do is post a link on the Nobody’s Poodle facebook page to a video of your pet doing something cute, funny or naughty, before August 31.

We are holding our first ever talent show on July 27 and August 3. The first event will be the heats, and up to 10 acts will go into the final the following week. The entry fee is €5 with a €100 cash prize for the winner.

The competition is open to anyone who does not earn from the talent they are showcasing, of any age (though anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult). All showcases must be ‘family friendly’ without any nudity, swearing or violence. If animals

are used. It must be done in a way that ensures they are not distressed or injured.

Each entrant will receive a certificate of entry, and 1st, 2nd and 3rd places will be determined by audience response and the three judges’ scores.

So come and join us at the Olde Ocean from 12.30 pm and show

us what you’ve got.

Don’t forget our charity shops in Los Cristianos, Calle Reverón, and San Eugenio, opposite the Hotel La Nina.

Both shops are closed Sundays.

Islands of the dogs

Maybe the tale of how the Canary Islands got its name is true after all. collection can be arranged.

Accion Del Sol August will again see a group of 12 pupils from Germany arrive at the refuge to spend part of their vacation learning about animal welfare in a foreign country. All of the children are considering future careers with animals.

Accion Del Sol’s educational programme is becoming extremely popular and hopefully animals’ lives will be greatly improved by the children having a better understanding of their pet’s needs.

We have been asked to remind everyone that the refuge works solely with Granadilla, Arona and Guía de Isora, and that dogs can only be brought in by the Protection Civil or the police.

If you do find a dog in those municipalities please call 112 so

Now that summer is here please remember to never leave your dog in a parked car - where temperatures can reach over 66 degrees C. It is a common error to believe that leaving a window partly open will eliminate the problem - and heat stroke or death can result in a very short space of time.

The common signs of heat stroke are: rapid panting, twitching muscles, hot skin and /or a dazed look. You need to seek veterinary assistance immediately, but first cool the dog by using cool water or even soaked towels. Ice packs or cool towels can be applied to the dog’s chest, neck and head areas (only). You can give them sips of cool water or a few licks on ice cubes.

It is also better to walk your dog in the morning or evenings to avoid the hottest parts of the day, and beware of hot surfaces such as pavements, asphalt or sand as they can burn paws.

According to a recent report in Diario de Avisos, in Santa Cruz, Tenerife, there are currently 40,000 dogs registered as living in the borough. In Candelaria alone there are apparently 6,000 officially registered dogs – that’s one per four people.

Good to know then that, despite the growing numbers of abandonments, there are many people who are taking their duties seriously. The job of dog walking is evidently becoming more widespread, as many who work full time are willing to pay for their dogs to get their walk.

Especially at weekends and in the evenings it’s not difficult to spot them out on their rounds, laden down with dogs. Luckily, the new doggie park in the upper part of Punta Larga is just as popular with the dogs as it is with the walkers.

To contact us please call: 922 778630, see our Aktion Tier Accion Facebook page or call into the refuge at the Poligono Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 off the TF1, follow the signs for the ITER wind turbine park. Monday - Friday, 3 to 6pm.

Jack is around nine months old and was found running around in the road. He is big, boisterous and a handful, but he is adorable: a big bouncy pup with love to give (although it would appear not to cats!)

He is currently in Poochies pet hotel, has been sterilised, chipped and vaccinated and is now good to go. The usual adoption fee of €110 for a male dog applies, but please call Sue at Live Arico on 629 388102 if you think you could give him a home.

Great Goodwood

The Festival of Speed!

As I sit hunched over my laptop in the departure lounge at Gatwick Airport, trying to meet my copy deadline, my mind is still filled with the cacophony of sounds and images from only the day before when I maxed out at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

kers into the woods to watch Skoda (sponsors of the stage) demonstrating their new WRC. We were terrified by a Metro 6R4 that hurtled past within a whisker, closely followed, but more slowly, by a Cooper S and then a works Citroen DS3 WRC.

By John I can still feel my body trembling from the proximity and noise generated by a line of F1 cars, driven by the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, as they thundered past me at maximum revs, seeking FTD (fastest time of the day) on the tarmac of The Hill, 1.16 miles long, that winds its way past Goodwood House and through the estate. I can still smell the heat of racing engine oil from cars and bikes, as it shimmered in a haze above the various straining power plants. Is that really Castrol R in my nostrils? Oh, dear me, shades of yesteryear.

It was a sell-out, as every year.

Despite that, the venue, spread out around three sides of Goodwood House, still managed to give off a garden party atmosphere like no other.

Every ticket holder present was a diedin-the-wool enthusiast, and knowledgeable to boot. Nowhere else in the world can one rub shoulders with the most famous people in motorsport, whether they be constructors, team managers, world champions or privateers. One can peer unrestricted into cockpits and engine bays, although getting too close to the rear diffuser areas of the latest F1’s is to be discouraged!

We moved from one area to another, but always surrounded by Porsches. They were everywhere as this weekend was all about celebrating 50

years of the 911, a true icon. There must have been close to 100 of them, in their many different guises and I drooled over them all.

The Paddock This is the place to be: to see and to be seen. World champions there are in abundance, and with their cars to match. Here we saw Nelson Piquet, stern and unsmiling, concentrating on driving the Parmalat Brabham BT52 BMW turbo (in which he won his World Championship almost

30 years ago). He was joined by six of the current F1 teams, all of whom had brought along their current cars.

No FOS is complete without the presence of one Sterling Moss who, in his eighties, still managed to demonstrate the skill that has made him the greatest English driver of all time. He was shoehorned into a variety of Silver Arrows, including a W196 and a 300 SLR, as he blasted them up The Hill.

Jochen Mass exercised a W125 with some brio. Post war GP cars included a gorgeous Maserati 250F and a glorious V16 BRM.

Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button are firm favourites with the crowd each year. They smile, they sign autographs, and yet they still retain focus to deliver blistering pace in their F1 cars (and a variety of others) with jaw dropping consistency. Jenson in particular displayed his prowess in the McLaren M8D and the new P1 supercar.

Rally stage We took a buggy ride up to the rally stage. Mammoth tractors pulled huge trailers full of perspiring onloo-

Cars had been consigned from all parts of the globe, and memorable entrants were from Bugatti (a dream Type 57S Atlantic), Porsche with a 1973 Carrera RSL with ducktail, a magnificent 1938 Delage D8-120 Cabriolet, an F40 in correct Rosso and a Veyron in (to my mind) truly hideous pearlescent paintwork. What a shame there was so much dust generated that most gave a semblance of having just competed in the Safari Rally.

Moving Motor Show A relatively new addition to the FOS, a range of upmarket models were on display from major manufacturers, and prospective owners that had acquired the right ticket and had enough money could have the drive of a lifetime through the estate and up The Hill. Examples in the extensive line-up were the brand new Audi RS6 Avant, the Porsche Panamera

named above? I cannot list them all here; there were too many, but we moved along, admiring Hannu Mikkola driving a Quattro S1 and Jack Sears, forever wedded to that immense Galaxie.

Apart from Sir Stirling, there was Sir Jackie Stewart (Tyrell 006), Rene Arnoux (a variety of quick Renaults including the new TwinRun), Tom Kristensen (eight times Le Mans winner) driving a 1966 Ford GT Mk 2, Derek Bell (five times Le Mans Winner) in a Porsche 956, Nick Heidfeld (MP4/13), Andy Green (World Land speed record holder) and that commentator par excellence, Martin Brundle piloting an XJS/TWR, and so many more. I was sad not to have actually managed to bump into Derek Bell, whom I used to know many years ago and who has remained a hero of mine ever since.

e-hybrid and the Rolls Royce Wraith. The FOS was also chosen as the world debut for the new Skoda Octavia vRS.

Supercar Paddock A range of supercars always gravitates to the Festival of Speed. Owners of these rarities, whether they have paid only half a million (choose your currency!) or a number of millions, are persuaded by the sheer drama to haul off their dustsheets and have their private mechanics do the business of ensuring that nothing goes wrong on the day.

A Bugatti Veyron is almost commonplace in this sort of company, although few have been built compared to the output of the higher echelons of Ferrari that, by almost uncanny marketing, manages to sell out their more expensive

and exclusive limited production runs by the simple expedient of limiting whom they will allow to buy. Nowadays, you have to be individually invited to purchase.

I have a soft spot for anything built by Horacio Pagani. His cars are so well put together, using the very best components, that although they look as though they have beamed down from a different planet, they also look so right, even though now so expensive. Lewis Hamilton must think they are good because he has one. Here we had the latest on show, the Huayra.

Small boys surrounded the likes of the angular Lamborghini Aventador, and so I was left almost on my own admiring the Ferrari FF which had looked so understated in metallic grey as it blasted up The Hill.

Bikes John Surtees is the only person to have been World Champion on both two and four wheels, and it is unlikely that anyone else will ever emulate that feat. And there was the great man himself. A little older perhaps, but truly a legend in his lifetime. He wheeled out his 1967 Italian GP winning Honda RA300 and faced The Hill.

Slightly younger readers may have been equally impressed by the likes of Kenny Roberts, 3 times 500cc World Champion, there to ride his championship winning Yamaha, and Randy Mamola (13 GP wins) aboard the ex-Valentino Rossi Ducati GP11 VR2.

Celebrities Who did we see and get close to in addition to those

Thoroughly exhausted by the heat and the sensory overload at the end of the day, it was then sadly, time to leave.

A final example shows what it had all been about. As we got back to my son’s X5, parked in the next parish, we noted the cars parked on either side and completely unattended throughout the day. On one side was a new Ferrari GTO and on the other was a Koeniggsegg CCR, roof panels left off, the car open for all to see. It’s just that sort of place.

Do you know, although it was a lot bigger and some of the names were different, it was otherwise still just the same as all those years ago. No better tribute could be paid to the Earl of March and the organisers of the event. I salute them all.

The Heavyweight Scene I

t’s hard to believe there hasn’t been an American heavyweight to hold at least one of the four major world title belts since Shannon Briggs lost the W.B.O. version back in June 2007.

The American fans, who over the years are used to having their big guys monopolising the heavyweight division, are praying for the next American heavyweight World Champion. I think they’ll be in for a long wait, at the present time there’s only one of their heavies rated in the top 10 and that’s Bermane Stiverne who’s at number six. However, there’s an American prospect who could be their saviour in time, in the shape of Deontay Wilder who won bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics. In fact he is the last American to win an Olympic medal in boxing, that’s how unsuccessful it’s been for them yanks in the amateur ranks over the past few years.

But they are hoping for success with Wilder who, since turning professional, has had 28 fights and destroyed every one of his opponents, the latest victim being the former Olympic gold medallist who in April looked more like ‘Ordinary’ Harrison than Audley, when Wilder blasted him out in 70 seconds of the 1st Round.

I think the big puncher from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, could in time cause a big stir in the heavyweight division, if his own chin holds up. With his powerful K.O. punch his presence in the division can set the world heavyweight scene alight.

Even a spark is needed at the present time.

Over the past few years American fans have been patient because they’ve had no other choice, but I think they’ll have to be patient a little longer,

to see how Wilder fares when he has to squareup against stronger opposition than he’s met up to date, before deciding if the ‘Bronze Bomber’, as he’s nicknamed, really is the heavyweight saviour that America has been waiting for. He certainly fits the role at 27 years of age, in a division monopolised by the over 35’s. He’s 6ft-7ins, with a fighting weight around 17 stone and carries a right hand punch that leaves men senseless.

The heavyweight scene in the U.K. isn’t looking too bad at present. In fact, while the U.S.A., as stated above, only have one heavyweight in the top 10 world ratings, we have two English heavies in the ratings, with David Haye at number four and Tyson Fury rated number eight.

I can’t remember that ever happening before! The remaining names sound more like an Eastern Bloc basketball team, with the brothers Vitali and Vladimir Klitschko, and Alexander Povetkin, Kubrat Pulev, Thomasz Adamec, Robert Helenius, Rusian Chagaev, and the American, Bermane Stiverne filling the other places.

Haye and Fury are expected to don the gloves and fight each other in a pay-per-view extravaganza in September. I have to fancy Haye with his speed and powerful punching, along with his experience in the big fights. I would think that Fury’s boxing style is made for Haye’s counter punches.

Although Fury has huge physical advantages, and plenty of stamina to cause the Londoner a few problems if the fight goes into the late rounds.

Basketball:

CB Canarias uncertainty D-Day looms for CB Canarias at the end of the month as officials wait anxiously to see if the crucial figure of €2 million has been raised in share capital to turn the basketball club into a limited company to comply with the rules of the ACB premiership.

Failure to raise the money would almost certainly see the

club ejected from Europe’s toughest league and back to the drawing board in terms of its future. However, despite the worrying wait to check the final share sales, the club has pushed ahead with its team building for next season, although it has had to insert a get-out clause for new contracts to cover the worst possibility.

Among those to have agreed to stay for another year is playmaker Ricardo Úriz,

who has been the subject of much transfer speculation in recent weeks. Úriz ended the rumours by announcing his desire to stay in La Laguna, where he blossomed last season and hopes to continue to shine during the coming one. Úriz’s understudy will again be Carlos Biviá, who made the step up in standard comfortably in his first ACB season.

Others set to stay are guard Nico Richotti, who starred for Argentina in a summer tour of the Far East, and Greek

centre Fotios Lampropolous.

However, there is no place for veteran Richi Guillén, who has been told by the club that his services are not required.

Sailing championships:

Silvia sweeps the boards Tenerife has a new young sailing star in the shape of Silvia Morales, who swept the boards at the World and European Youth Championship in Hungary earlier in the month.

Silvia, who is from the Real Náutico Club in Santa Cruz topped the Under 16 and Under 18 categories of her Laser 4.7 class at European level and lifted the Under 18 world title also in a glorious week of sailing, which has catapulted her to international fame. There was more success for the Tenerife club aswell when Alba Elejabeitia claimed the runner-up spot in the Under 18 competition. The pair hope to follow in the footsteps of Alicia Cebrián, Tenerife’s Olympic yachtswoman, who has her sights on the world championships in China later in the summer.

UD Las Palmas:

Rowing :

Valerón returns

Nude charity challenge

The prodigal son of football in Gran Canaria has returned to see out his career at his former club.

As widely expected, Juan Carlos Valerón has signed for Las Palmas after leaving Deportivo La Coruña where he spent 13 wonderful seasons and made a name for himself as one of Spain’s most elegant midfielders. Now 38, the man known as the ‘Magician’ - who like David Silva is from Arguineguín in the south of the island - rejected a lucrative offer from Qatar to end his playing days in the Gulf State and joins another former Las Palmas and Spain player, Angel López, in moving back to his native island for the coming season. Both signings have delighted Las Palmas fans, not to mention manager Sergio Lobera, who believes the side can do even better than last season, when they reached the play-off semis.

A forthcoming charity challenge by four polo-playing Britons will put the Canaries back in the limelight in December and has already earned a mention in the Daily Mail.

The quartet of Viscount Melville, former England polo captain Henry Brett, James Glasson and Jamie LeHardy plan to set off from these shores to row across the Atlantic in the nude, emulating previous successful attempts by personalities such as explorer Ben Fogle and James Cracknell. The rowing challenge will raise money for children’s charity Right to Play. Melville, 29, said that it was “just as well” that he does not have a girlfriend because by the end of the 3,000 nautical mile and 40-day effort, which will end in Antigua, he will be, “a scary sight like Tom Hanks in Castaway”.

Good signs and signings The blanquiazules have been training hard at their summer camp on the island of La Palma.

At the end of their stay they played a friendly match against local team CD Mensajero from the third division. Both sides made many changes throughout the 90 minutes, with Tenerife placing many youth players. The only goal of the match came on 69 minutes, a smashing volley

by Suso. It is good to see the ex-Hearts man involved so soon after having knee surgery at the end of last season.

New signings Rivero, Camara and Rico played their first minutes for the club and duly impressed. Young starlet 21year-old Quique Rivero was

plucked from crisis side Racing Santander and this could well be the signing of the summer for CD Tenerife. Rivero made his league debut in Primera at the age of 19 and, in the right set up, the creative midfielder could well cause havoc for opposition defences.

Other new signings include Carlos Ruiz, Francisco Aday and Aitor Sanz, all experienced players at second division level.

The one surprise signing at the start of the week was the return of Tenerifian Ricardo from his spell at Sporting Gijon. He left Tenerife under something of a cloud (he was accused by fans of abandoning ship

FC Barcelona >>

New coach announced Gerardo Martino is set to be FC Barcelona’s first team manager for at least the next two seasons.

The former midfielder, nicknamed ‘Tata’, was born in Rosario, Argentina, on November 20, 1962. He will bring with him his broad experience in football. During his time on the field he played mostly for Newell’s Old Boys, based in his home town.

However, on the recommendation of Jorge Solari, fellow Argentinean and head of the team at that time, Martino played some of the 1991/92 season with CD Tenerife. He arrived on the island in February 1991, played 15 games, during which he only scored one goal, and returned to the Old Boys for their close of season match.

He later went on to develop a successful coaching ca-

when the blanquiazules were relegated) and as soon as his possible return was rumoured in the press the social network sites were inundated with fans expressing their dismay. In fact, in one poll 88 per cent were against Ricardo’s return and graffiti even appeared close to the family home in Puerto de La Cruz, “Ricardo the Rat - Tenerife does not want you”.

It certainly is a brave move by sports director Quique Medina and you live by your decisions I suppose. After a midweek friendly in Las Americas against

CD Marino (with the presence of Reading Chairman Sir John Madejeski) Tenerife host UD Las Palmas on July 27 in the Heliodoro Stadium in Santa Cruz. Other pre-season games include the visit of La Liga outfit Osasuna to Santa Cruz on August 2 - sadly without the return of ex-blanquiazul hero Nino who suffered a bad injury in training and will miss most of the season.

CD Tenerife return to the south of the island on August 7 for a game against UD Ibarra in the town of El Fraile, with tickets priced at €8.

Curtain raiser The dates for the traditional curtain raiser to the Spanish football season have been set, with the showcase event actually taking place a few days after the first league game for the sides involved.

The season opens on 18 August but league champions Barcelona and Cup winners Atlético de Madrid will not play the first leg of the Super Cup in Madrid until three days later, with the return in Barcelona’s Nou Camp on 28 August. Controversially, both games will finish well after midnight as they have been given a very late kick-off at 11pm.

Fishing Tournament / The crew of the Pecado qualified for the world championships

III Bertram Fishing Tournament

Fishy tale!

T

aged to catch the title.

Only catches of tuna, dolphinfish, wahoo and blue and white marlin count towards the competition, which was based at the San Miguel Marina in Amarilla Golf for the third year running.

The Bertram deep-sea Participants compete in fishing competition is the four different categories: only qualifying event held individual, the Bertram and in the Canary Islands and it interprovincial challenges, was the Spanish registered and the Junior Trophy, and boat Pecado which man- all will have had their eye

on the special Daga Broker prize of â‚Ź15,000 for any boat which manages to catch four or more blue marlins.

Competitors this year included the Sanita Santa with an all female crew and two English registered boats King Fisher and Emma J II. Even though conditions on the first day of the competition were ideal, the end result was far from it with

no catches being made.

The waters off Tenerife are one of the best areas in the world for this type of deepsea fishing, and are renowned for marlin fishing in particular. With this in mind the participants kept up their spirits and early on the morning of the last day of the competition the boats swept out of the harbour at 7.30am for a twelve hour day at sea. Though there were many bites, it was the

Pecado which managed to land a blue marlin and thus qualify for the championship which will be held in Quepos, Costa Rica, in April 2014.

The event is organised

by Bertram, the Los Erales Sailing and Fishing Club, and the International Game Fish

Association

(IGFA),

with a host of sponsors.

Look out for it next year.
