Steady numbers Los Cristianos

A he latest demographic forecasts for Spain reveal that the Canaries will be virtually the only region in the country that will not see its numbers fall in the coming decade.

Experts at the National Statistics Institute predict that the overall population of Spain could fall by as much as 2.3 million by 2023 but the islands are on course to increase their population very slightly, bucking the trend which will set in elsewhere. The main factor con-

n answer could be on the horizon at last for the sun bed crisis that has plagued Los Cristianos beach since the summer. tributing to the stabilisation of the numbers here will be immigration, with arrivals from foreign countries outnumbering departures and offsetting the anticipated increase in emigration by Canarians and others living here to mainland Spain between now and 2023.

The study conducted by the Institute predicts that as of 2018, one year later than the rest of the country, there will be more deaths than births in the Canaries every year.

South Tenerife

Arona council has now approved the specifications of a new tender for the provision of the sun bed and umbrella service, and councillor responsible, Antonio Sosa, is confident that a company will come forward before the end of the year to pay the €183,000 fee to be given the exclusive rights.

As reported here, the beach has been without sun beds since July when the previous company withdrew.

The recent

council session proved a stormy affair, with the opposition taking the opportunity to strongly criticise Sosa for his handling of the crisis and other beach issues, including the lack of lifeguard cover in Arona, which have brought highly damaging media coverage throughout 2013.

Sosa countered by accusing his opponents of fuelling the bad press by constantly airing the problems, which have not been resolved until now due to legal issues, not to his inability to find solutions. “It cannot be all that bad if our hotels are nearly 100 per cent full” he retorted.

Adeje mayor, José Miguel Rodríguez Fraga, along with the head of services for Ascan Torrabonaf, Francisco Valiño, recently met with hotel representatives to establish a new series of strategies to improve the system of recycling in tourist establishments. Up until now hotels have had to dispose of their rubbish on an individual basis, but with the new initiative the company and council hope to increase recycling levels and improve the overall cleanliness of the borough, as part of the ‘Adeje, clean and healthy’ plan.

Hotels that were unable to attend the meeting can make contact directly with Ascan Torrabonaf to take advantage of this new service by emailing contacto@adejelimpio.es or calling 922 71 19 89.

La Gomera ocean drama

In the spotlight

Chris Hemsworth rescued Heart-throb actor Chris Hemsworth is the butt of jibes in the British and international media after his sea rescue embarrassment in La Gomera on Sunday night.

Hemsworth, best known for his role as comic strip hero Thor in the Marvel Studios films of the same name, had to be rescued after a catamaran he hired for a party including himself, his wife Elsa Pataky, who is three months pregnant, and their 18-month daughter India Rose,

ran aground off the coast of the island at night. A lifeboat, Civil Guard patrol boat and a helicopter had to be mobilised to take the group of eight to safety after the incident. Ironically, the Australian-born actor was in La Gomera to film the Ron Howard movie, In the Heart of the Sea, about a crew shipwrecked by high seas that encounters a giant whale in the 19th century. The rescue has received prominent coverage in the Spanish and British papers, including the Daily Mail.

Pleasant president ways, good to see him; he seems a very pleasant man.

Most of what he had to say has already been extensively reported here and online, however he did mention that we will have oncology treatment available in the south in the near future at a site the politicians continue to call the “new hospital”. It is the only new treatment on offer

in the south, in a facility that is merely going to be sharing the geriatric unit originally planned, and much as we would love to believe it, given the very high cost of the equipment and personnel in this medical speciality and the slashed budget from the Canarian Government as reported in our last issue, frankly, we’ll believe it when we see it!

Don Quixote film

Special press conference

Towards the end of the month, we attended a press conference held by the Tinerfeñan island president Carlos Alonso.

The idea was for him to get to know the foreign press and vice versa. We’d already seen him out and about on various occasions, both before and after him taking office, but it was, as al-

pone due to location and funding difficulties.

He gave the news at a press conference at which the former Monty Python team, including John Cleese and Michael Palin, announced they were reuniting for a stage show in London in the summer of 2014. Gilliam refused to give exact details of his Canaries’ filming project, except that the film will be called The Man Who killed Don Quixote.

The details, which appeared in a front page feature in the La Opinión newspaper, have already led to criticism of the Parliament’s latest refusal to

cut the wage bill, especially when almost everyone else (particularly the Civil Service) is suffering pay packet reductions as a result of the crisis. The average salary paid to the MPs now stands at a fraction under €60,000 per year, putting the parliamentarians among the best paid in the country, with wages more than three times higher than the average salary of ‘normal’ workers (€18,700). The amount is

also a full nine times higher than the country’s minimum wage of €9,034.

The disclosures add more weight to the calls for the Canarian Parliament to be downsized from the current 60 MPs, a figure many believe far too high for a region with a population of just two million. However, the moves have been strongly resisted thus far by most of the parties with representation in the house.

Sailing

Northern regatta

A new regatta is due to take place on December 6.

They sail from Santa Cruz at 9am, and are expected at Garachico in the early afternoon. It is the first time such an event has been organised along the northern coast. Keep an eye out from the marine walks in the north; it should be a fine sight. This is the first version of a Canarian Government regatta and is set to grow and become a multi-island event which could stretch over several days and attract top international competition.

The national government has stirred up a hornets’ nest with the announcement that a number of key services at local level for health, education and elderly care will be taken out of the hands of councils and moved up one or more levels to island or even regional level in a bid to rationalise the use of public money. The news has triggered a furious reaction by town halls with mayors joining forces to block the plans.

The Canarian town halls have now received support from the regional government, which says it will refuse to apply the new system. The region’s vice-president José Miguel Pérez said he will do everything possible to prevent a further erosion of council powers and protect the right of town halls to provide services at local level. “Madrid is trumpeting the message that town halls waste public money, which is simply not true. The plan is to transfer these powers to a higher level to then cut council funding but without providing any extra funding for the Cabildos or regional government to cover the services” he added

he tale of one family and their recent celebration in La Gomera fits the bill very nicely.

Domingo, Juan Ramón, Julia María, Mercedes, Francis, Sito and José Luis Herrera Rodriguez are seven siblings who were born in the small, picturesque town of Agulo on the north of the island.

Large families of their age are no rarity in the Canary Islands, where it was normal for families to have six or more children until well into the second half of the twentieth century, when the iron hold of Franco’s dictatorship loosened, opening Spain to the outside world.

Whilst Brits enjoyed the swinging sixties, protected from regular pregnancies by widely available contraception in the form of the birth control pill, the Spanish were still prohibited from using any kind of contraception. It was banned by the Catholic Church and also illegal.

It was a criminal offence to sell or supply it and of course abortion was unmentionable. As always, the better off were exempt, with ‘disgraced’ daughters of moneyed Spanish families travelling to London to use the services of private clinics.

In the sixties, when foreign tourists first filled coastal resort towns like Benidorm and Torremolinos, it was not uncommon for tourists to be approached by locals trying to get hold of the magic ‘pildoras’, or birth pills, they’d heard so much about. The Canaries were a world apart from Spain then and even further removed from social changes taking place in Northern Europe.

A shameful aspect of all this uncontrolled fecundity is a story that still makes news in Spain, having only relatively recently come to light. It reflects very badly on the Catholic Church, which is perhaps understandably at an all time low on active member levels throughout

la gomera

A family celebration

By Barbara Belt

In these days of the disaster struck Philippines, political strife and economic worry, a good news story is a welcome distraction. mums in their day and nobody Spain, and to some extent the medical profession, who at the very least turned a blind eye on the whole shameful business.

The scandal involved healthy children being taken away from mothers shortly after birth and illegally given to childless couples, the local priest as intermediary and nun or lay nursing sisters assisting, often in exchange for a hefty ‘donation’ to church funds.

The poor mothers were told their childen had been stillborn and a recent famous revelation occurred in Gran Canaria when a woman walking along the street saw her double approaching. The two women stopped, astonished, to talk and eventually discovered they were twins. Their parents had been told one was stillborn and when they asked for the little body to bury, were told the dead child had already

been disposed of. An investigation, court case and prosecution followed and there has been a spate of similar cases all over Spain.

Although implicated priests and nursing staff have used the “there were already too many mouths to feed” excuse in defence of this unpardonable baby theft and trade, the indisputable truth is that, no matter how poor or big the

existing family was, parents grieved for these lost babies.

Big families were of course a financial burden, but the numerous children were loved, cherished and cared for at home when possible and when not, sent to live with other family members.

Amongst neighbours in my very small village, there’s a wonderful mix up of aunts and grannies who were surrogate

is any worse for it. Big families can mean big joy, as well as hard work and sacrifice and our story is a good example of this.

They can also of course fall out with each other, as anyone trying to buy a Canarian property owned by all the members of one generation can confirm. A common way of settling old scores is for one sibling to refuse permission to sell, making it impossible for the sale to go through.

Of the seven Herrera Rodriguez siblings, only two have stayed living permanently in La Gomera, as hard-won professional careers made it necessary for most of them to work and establish lives elsewhere, mainly in Tenerife.

Despite this, all of them are regular visitors to the island, coming when they can to stay in touch with local community, family and friends and to help

look after farm land and crops.

They are now at the end of their working careers and all say they are looking forward to being able to spend more time back in Agulo.

None of this is particularly remarkable. There are lots of big families. What is special is their background and that all of them are not only still alive and well, but have made it through to retirement age as a united, strong family unit. So much so, that they decided to celebrate their good fortune with a family thanksgiving celebration at their old friend Luis Amaya’s restaurant near Agulo.

Domingo, as the eldest brother, was called upon to make a speech at the celebration. He talked about their parents, Eliseo and Julia, who were, as he put it, “Humble people, whose chances of schooling were limited and whose lives were dedicated to hard work” and their “Perseverance and vision that led them to somehow enable all seven of their children to not only finish their schooling, but go on to study... at great personal sacrifice”.

Six of the seven became teachers at a time when the normal fate of children of agricultural workers was to work the land too, or emigrate.

Juan Ramón, the second eldest brother and the only sibling not to become a teacher, retired recently at seventy.

He started work when he was nineteen and retired after a fifty year career in public administration.

The seven brothers and sisters have thirteen children between them and, as they say, five grandchildren so far, many of whom were there to take part in this celebration of their family’s continuing unity and success.

“Celebrate your family!” is their excellent advice.

La Gomera in n io t a c o l n Film diary: O

By Barbara Belt

W

onderful goings on in La Gomera’s Playa Santiago, where Ron Howard’s new film In The Heart of the Sea is now being shot after two months of frenetic preparation.

The whole town’s a film set and fascinating to visit.

A no-crime island and laudable accessibility policy make for very relaxed conditions.

Strolling along the seafront reveals props everywhere; hundreds of baskets, ropes, palm frond structures and all things pertaining to the business of nineteenth century whaling are to be seen.

Palm fringed marquees have been erected behind the promenade to offer catering services to the many extras and crew, a new floating pontoon on one side of the harbour provides access to the flotilla of small dinghies needed to back up

filming on the open sea, while a lifelike whale head, equipped with outboard motor, waits for action.

On the other side of the harbour, the whaling ship Essex is moored beside an enormous line of equipment-carrying trucks.

It caused some consternation one day when it was intentionally capsized on the open sea outside town, but there were sighs of relief all round when it just as quickly

righted itself and sailed back in unscathed.

Makeup artists and hair stylists work at a frantic pace in Portacabins. The results of their labours are the busloads of hairy, very pink-presumably sunburned-extras who then sheepishly traipse along the harbour attired in a mixture of hessian and animal skins.

Tenerife’s South American population is well represented, as the casting company needed Polynesian-looking crowds for this story, which is set in

objects of their desires. Lots of partying, but Saturday nights are big bashes, with go-go dancers and DJs performing at open house parties for crew, actors and delighted local youth. The Tarajales Bar was the scene of this Saturday’s

the Pacific. Whole families of delighted Colombians have been employed.

The big stars wander round town, often unrecognised.

Chris Hemsworth is largely ignored in favour of his heavily pregnant Spanish wife, actress

Elsa Pataki, who’s something of a celebrity due to her role in several Spanish soaps. Their small daughter India Rose is delightful and spends time playing with local kids.

Younger stars, like Tom Holland, enjoy yearning attention from the town’s female pre-teens who hang around them, resplendent in full makeup and provocative clothes, but these fans are too shy to really bother anyone, although they make no bones about sprinting along behind buses or taxis which carry the

bash, where dancing continued until 3.30 am and partying until daybreak. Crew and actors are wristbanded for free drinks, with everybody else happy to either be invited for drinks, or paying. The budget for this film is enormous, so there are invitations aplenty.

The only negative note is turning out to be the high incidence of seasickness suffered by extras and actors alike. Seasickness remedies are much in evidence, but actors with clout insist on being returned to terra firma every half hour, saying they can take no more.

ested in combining a trip to the Canaries and, say, a visit to the Sahara or Casablanca” said the minister, who feels that the new direct flights between the two create a niche which should be tapped into as quickly as possible. “The authorities on both sides have done their bit to improve the air links and it is now up to the tourist industry to do the rest” added Haddad, who offered the support of his government for a joint marketing exercise.

orocco’s tourism minister visited the Canaries recently and surprised his hosts with a proposal to create a joint brand to market both destinations to international tourists.

Early detection

A

Controversy

Life-saving dog

young dog that can detect when her owner’s blood sugar drops to dangerous levels is the talk of the town in Gran Canaria and is visiting local schools as part of an awarenessraising scheme.

Called Ayax and aged just six months, the young labrador has been trained to smell the changes in the body of her diabetic 45-yearold owner when hypoglycemia sets in, even when he is sleeping, and she warns him by barking loudly to enable him to take the necessary steps to remedy the emergency. Ayax was specially trained by local dog trainer Yaiza Hernández, who says that ‘alert dogs’ have been in use for decades in the United States.

During her first month in the employment of her owner, the labrador alerted him no fewer than six

T

times that his blood sugar was very low. She carried out a detection demonstration for children at a school in the Jinámar district of Las Palmas recently as part of a health education day.

News of her rare specialism reached Gran Canaria paper Canarias 7, which published a feature on her earlier this month and prompted a reader to comment that “she should also be trained to detect corrupt politicians!”

Recklessness charge

he controversial ‘recklessness fee’ introduced by the Canarian government over a year ago to allow the cost of emergency call-outs to be recovered where people have engaged in hazardous activities without due care or without insurance to cover possible accidents has netted its first victim and, contrary to expectations, the person is not a negligent tourist.

Local paper the Diario de Avisos reports that the authorities have successfully claimed back over €4,000 from a man who had to be rescued by helicopter when he fell from his horse while riding in rugged terrain in Gran Canaria. The

50-year-old was badly injured when he was thrown from the horse in the hills outside San Mateo and the emergency services had to deploy a range of vehicles and personnel to rescue him and then airlift him to hospital. According to the paper, he was hit with a bill for €4,172, 60 per cent of the maximum of €6,000 set for the call-outs under legislation passed in 2012. The recovery charge, which applies in several other parts of Spain (particularly regions where mountaineering is popular), triggered some controversy when it was first announced. The government has since revealed that it could prove very difficult to apply it to tourists.

News in Brief >>

Shipping

Dangerous cargoes With the ‘oil or no oil’ debate hotting up by the week in the Canaries now that it has been confirmed that Morocco has started exploratory work not far from these shores, environmental attention is turning also to the hazards posed by shipping for the Canaries.

The spotlight has fallen on the sector after remarks by Antonio Padrón, the Harbourmaster for Tenerife, who revealed that around 12,000 ships carrying dangerous cargoes sail close to and even between the islands every year, especially in the waters between Tenerife and Gran Canaria and between the latter and Fuerteventura. The ships carry cargoes ranging from oil and explosives to radioactive waste, according to Padrón, who disclosed also that the situation has improved vastly compared to a decade ago given the reporting requirement imposed on the vessels. “The International Maritime Organisation acknowledged the sensitive nature of the waters here and agreed on mandatory reporting for all ships carrying hazardous products. It does not totally cancel out the chances of an accident but at least we now have much more information than a few years ago and the ships must avoid coastal areas” said the Harbourmaster.

Las Palmas

Overeager cops?

Gran Canaria is not the island to live on if you want to avoid parking fines, according to an interesting study of the activity rates of local police forces in the Canaries.

The figures, produced by the region’s Statistics Institute and published in several papers recently, show that you are much more likely to be hit with a fine in places like Las Palmas than in any other part of the islands. Despite having a smaller population than Tenerife, Gran Canaria saw an average of 259 parking fines handed out by police every day during last year, more than twice the number for Tenerife (113). The figure is all the more surprising if one remembers that there are slightly more local police per person in Tenerife, while the number of cars does not differ significantly between the two islands. The only conclusion that can be reached is that the Gran Canaria officers are much more ‘committed’ to their work!

Not cleaning up after your pet will cost you €150, but graffit and pasting posters where they are not allowed are liable to fines over €1,000.

The council has declared “zero tolerance” on those who cost the city money to clean up after them.

the same week involving paragliders, including the death of a British woman who was flying in the popular Ifonche area. One well-known figure in the paragliding community in the south, instructor Luis Manuel Ramos, is adamant that people who do not know the area and its flying conditions must carry a lot of the responsibility for their own fate. “Ignorance is the biggest cause of the accidents, of which 90 per cent involve non-locals”, says Ramos, whose views are shared by the head of the Canarian Paragliding Technical Committee, Sergio Castañeda.

“Many foreigners come here on flying holidays and even though they are experienced gliders, they increase the risk of an accident by not consulting anyone before choosing the day and location of their flight. It is so easy to get in touch with someone with local knowledge but they don’t do it,” he claimed.

ver a third of the hotel accommodation in one of the oldest tourism bases in the Canaries is to be given a complete overhaul over the next three years in a €123 million makeover.

The improvements include the creation of a new five star hotel, although full details are yet to be disclosed and the destination is to be marketed under the new brand Puerto de la Cruz Experience. Three hotels have already taken the plunge to install improvements – Tigaiga, Orotava Palace and Vallemar another 24 projects are planned. Authorities are convinced that they are on the right tracks as Puerto’s tourism has apparently increased by almost seven per cent over the last year.

or all those whose pleasures are outdoors as well as in the multitudes of excellent bars and restaurants we have here, there’s a recently inaugurated, new resource in Tenerife to increase your pleasure.

Teno Rural Park Visitor’s Centre is run by Cristo and Ylenia. Access and layout has been designed for everybody, including those with mobility challenges. In addition to the information desk, pamphlets etc. there are videos in Spanish, English and German, snacks and drinks, mountain bike hire, guided walks, bike tours, paragliding, kayaking and the typically Tinerfeñan shepherd’s leap, as well as a choice of some really nice gifts, locally made jams and liqueurs and a fun sample of non-tourist-tat Tenerife inspired T-shirts.

Teno, along with Anaga and the Roque del Conde, is one of the three oldest areas in Tenerife.

Canadian Marilyn Rossner, who says her ability to foretell the future and contact the dead is a, “Gift

Air crash premonition from God”, took part in several events in Santa Cruz, as well as the Magic Day in Puerto de la Cruz, and spoke openly of her anguish at not being able to do anything back in March 1977 when she predicted the world’s worst air disaster at Los Rodeos Airport. “I remember it as if

it were yesterday. I was at a yoga camp with my husband and the images of two planes crashing came to me, along with the word Tenerife three times. I had the same vision again just two weeks before the accident and got in touch with airlines to tell them what I had seen. But then I heard

the voice of God telling me that there was difference between a premonition and a prophecy and that I could do nothing to change things. It was a very anguishing moment for me,” Rossens told Tenerife paper El Día in an interview after she attended the launch of her new book in Tenerife.

News in Brief >>

Vehicle insurance

Illegal garages claim The tactics of a number of insurance companies have come under fire from Tenerife’s Association of Vehicle Repairers, which says that some insurers are cutting their costs by using unlicensed garages.

The accusation was made by the influential ASINTRA association, which says it has received what it terms, “Worrying information” from tow-truck firms here that an increasing number of cars that break down or are involved in accidents are being diverted to illegal garages for repair due to the cheaper cost. “We are hearing the same from our members given that it is hard to conceal such things in the business” said an ASINTRA spokesman, who revealed that the association has requested an urgent meeting with the Department of Trade and Industry to clarify the situation and, if necessary, to put official pressure on the insurers to stop the practice, which is having a damaging effect on bona fide garages.

Food distribution

Red Cross heroes The Red Cross is normally associated in Tenerife with its very visible lifeguard provision on local beaches but another, less known, facet, of its community work has come to the fore with the publication of details of its 24/7 efforts to cater for the needy.

So far this year, the organisation has handed out a staggering 161,000 kilos of food to a total of 27,300 persons on the four islands making up the western province who are at risk of social exclusion due to their state of need. Red Cross volunteers based at the organisation’s many local stations on Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro have been given the job of distributing essential foodstuffs as part of Spain’s participation in a European Union programme to tend to the needs of the socially disadvantaged, including families with no working members, the elderly and the homeless. The first big batch of food was distributed back in August and was followed by a second initiative recently, with the third and final stage of the 2013 aid programme due to be completed nearer Christmas.

dolls are extremely valuable and would fetch more than €1,000 each if sold. These include the rare Barbie Deirdre of Ulster, of which only a very small number were produced and which have become a highly prized collectors’ item. Speaking at the opening of the seven-week exhibition, Carmen said she would never have dreamt of putting her collection of around 300 dolls up for show but was persuaded by Santa Ursula’s cultural affairs councillor.

The Casona de San Luis, also known as Hacienda de San Luis, is located in the town’s main square (of the same name). The building itself is worth a visit as it is a beautiful example of Canarian architechture which once belonged to the Román family.

Top hotel chain

One of Spain’s top hotel chains has been the first to come out and publicly criticise the controversial proposal for a tourist tax in the Canaries.

As reported in our online edition, former Canarian president Roman Rodríguez and his Nueva Canarias party tabled a motion to amend the Budget Bill currently making its way through the regional Parliament in order to introduce a daily surcharge of between €0.50 - €1.50 per holidaymaker, depending on the category of hotel stayed in. According to the motion, the revenue generated would be used to fund local government, with priority given to reinvesting in tourist areas, the environment and essential public services.

Among those to voice serious concern at the plan is the Iberostar Hotel group, which has many hotels here, and they warned that business could decline if the tax is imposed.

“The Canaries need to learn from the Balearic experience, where a similar idea failed badly and led to a tourist drain. It took three years to recover from the disastrous effects, with hotels bearing the brunt of the fall in business. You can’t tax people who want to come for a relaxing holiday. Let us not forget that holidaymakers have a wide choice available and they will vote with their feet,” said Iberostar’s managing director, Aurelio Vázquez, who heard the news as he was attending his chain’s big Convention in Tenerife.

Canarian economy

Crisis over?

Sole traders and others who provide their services to local government and official bodies should receive some pre-Christmas cheer following the news that more money has been released to public administrations to enable them to pay off their debts.

A further €24 million have been made available to the Canaries under the Spanish government’s programme to force town halls and other bodies to clear the arrears owed to service providers as quickly as possible. The Ministry of Finance adopted the measure last year as a way to put more cash into circulation and after considerable pressure from the national ‘autónomos’ (self employed) federation, which has long complained that sole traders must wait up to a year to receive payment for their services and products. As part of the scheme, town halls were ordered to submit all their outstanding invoices for audit by officials in Madrid and are under strict instructions not to use the money received for any other purpose.

According to the employers’ association, the CEOE, the Canarian economy has turned the corner definitively and is fast emerging from the recession that has hit the region since late 2008. They predict growth of 1.4 per cent for 2014, following the significant upturn in business seen in the latter half of the current year. In its latest quarterly report, the CEOE says that although unemployment has continued to rise in overall terms, the number of people registering for national insurance is growing (11,000 new registrations between July and September alone), reflecting the creation of new jobs, even the pace of creation is not yet matching losses elsewhere. The association says that the welcome upturn is being driven largely by the tourism industry, which is expected to post a 10 per cent improvement in the last quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The upbeat forecast came in the same week that Tenerife shops predicted they will probably enjoy their best Christmas for several years.

Ana Lozano Pilates

A course in life

ealth and fitness profesH sionals recently had the opportunity to attend a Pilates course with world renowned teacher Elizabeth Larkham.

Invited to Tenerife by Pilates Centre owners, Ana Lozano and Yanina Lalorenzo, Ms Larkham spent two days with the lucky students covering techniques as diverse as Pilates for golfers, pre-natal applications, working with clients with hip replacements and rehabilitation for lumbar hernias.

We were invited to meet Elizabeth during the course and what a pleasure it was.

Softly spoken with a gentle and calming manner, Elizabeth’s presence belies her stature within the world of

fitness. Originally a dancer, she dedicated herself to the study of Pilates because of her younger sister, Daphne, who was born with chromosomal abnormalities that affect her

alignment, breathing, and the strengthening of the deep torso and abdominal muscles that support the spine. The system is suitable for everyone, from beginners to advanced practitioners, and can be particularly useful to aid rehabilitation after injury or surgery and to help deal with various chronic conditions.

Elizabeth, who is based in San Francisco, has decades of experience in the field, yet still attributes many of her greatest life lessons to her sister.

Through her Elizabeth has learnt that, “the body does Elizabeth Larkam demonstrating one of the moves not define the person”, and speech and motor control.

We

can help, support and give them the tools, but at the end of the day each individual has to take responsibility for their own mental and physical health.

Nevertheless, responsible and caring teachers can make all the difference and Elizabeth was delighted to meet the many enthusiastic attendees on the course. She also thoroughly enjoyed her visit to Tenerife and has not ruled out returning.

the latest techniques available to reduce wrinkles for over a quarter of a century.

Thousands of customers have already been more than satisfied with their results and Doctor Enrique Plasencia places a great deal of emphasis on a detailed and personalised service.

Thus the estimated cost is not a fixed sum, but individually tailored to the needs and possibilities of potential customers.

Nowadays there are modern, non-invasive therapies.

Long in the past are the old days with elaborate surgical procedures and their risks.

Instead, techniques are used which can be employed on an outpatient basis and hence allow a rapid return to normal daily life.

Dr. Enrique Plasencia prepares individually tailored solutions for all his patients.

Concrete solutions Dr. Plasencia has always preferred filling wrinkles: He uses the latest generation of hyaluronic acid. It guarantees a long lasting effect without causing allergies or rejection reactions. Whichever treatment is needed, he focuses on the methods that will cause the least burden on the patient.

Eye bags or drooping eyelids can now be corrected without

radical intervention. Thus, postoperative consequences are minimised. Whatever is needed, this experienced beauty physician will find the perfect solution. For example, spectacular results can be achieved for a mini-facelift with only local anaesthetic.

Dr. Plasencia also has over 25 years of aiding patients with obesity problems. First, the patient is examined in detail and given personalised

advice. You can lose an astounding amount of weight in just 45 days. If the deposit of fat is localised on the abdomen, at the hip or any other part of the body, it can be aspirated or removed with modern techniques. By these methods, a surgical procedure and a lengthy follow-up treatment is avoided.

Optimising the treatments and using cutting-edge technology means that wrinkle treatments or other outpatient solutions can be carried out in a way which offers great value for money. It opens the doors to all types of cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Enrique Plasencia’s practice, Centro Internacional de Estética is at Calle Virtud 3 in Puerto de la Cruz. The opening times are Monday to Friday 10am to 1pm and 4pm to 8pm.

embers of the Monty Python team may jest about paying off their mortgage but for many of us it is no joke.

At a recent press conference, one of the team said their July get-together was to help him pay his mortgage. Most of us have no comic genius or fame which will aid us and many are resorting to renting out a family home to make ends meet. But can you be sure that the person you rent to is not going to end up a non-paying squatter?

The New Year seems to be a popular time for people to change their address in the Canaries, however it is not easy to find the right candidate.

Thankfully, there is now an instrument to help you. It’s a list of

Safer rentals

people who have unpaid rent at a previous property. The Fichero de Inquilinos Morosos can be found at the website fimiberica.com. You fill in some basic details that are re-

quested and click on ‘realizar consulta’. The results will allow you to know immediately if the person interested in renting your property has unpaid rent elsewhere.

Subsidies

Young

buyers Each consultation costs €9.90, but if you’ve ever had the frustration, time-wasting and cost of trying to evict someone for non-payment, it is well worth it. It also includes a document which can be added to your new rental contract as an annex which formalises the agreement of both to the renters name being posted in the debtors list from the first day of late payment if there is any future problems. If there is no intention to skip payments, there shouldn’t be any difficulty in getting the prospective renter to sign this annex, if there is any reluctance, maybe it would be cheaper and less trouble to keep on paying your property loan on your own and wait for a better candidate.

The Canarian government’s much-publicised scheme to assist young home-buyers by giving them financial help towards their mortgages is not as generous as it has been made out to be, say hundreds of applicants who are still waiting for their money.

One of the flagship measures of the government’s Housing Programme for 20092012, the loan subsidies of up to €12,000 have apparently been awarded on paper but not yet paid to around 1,700 first-time buyers, many of whom who have set up an association of scheme ‘victims’ to put pressure on the authorities. According to the association, despite promising to fast-track the payments, the government has set aside only a fraction of the total sum for the coming year in the Budget. Only €3 million of the estimated €18 million due to be made available to young buyers have been included in the 2014 Budget, a decision which has greatly angered the recipients, who calculate that it will take many years for the subsidies to be handed over fully.

Gardening knowhow Gone to seed!

It’s elemental

Once you are comfortable harvesting seeds you then have the joy of creating successive generations of plants.

As outlined in edition 707, collecting your own seeds needn’t be difficult and you can easily build a store for your favourite plants.

Alternatively, you may want to try your hand with some shop bought seeds: all you need to do is take into account a few basic rules and you’re away.

So how can you ensure your seeds have the best possible chance of developing into plants?

For seeds to germinate correctly you need to consider several elements: soil, temperature, water, air, light and timing. Seed packets will provide instructions, or you can find information in gardening books or on the internet – it is worth doing a little research before you start as seeds are much more likely to germinate in the right environment.

And you will, of course, have

The easily purchased potting compost will work for most seeds, though can be too rich for some so if you can get your hands on some specialised starting compost even better. Either which way, the earth needs to be fine and airy for the best results.

Heat Generally speaking, seeds germinate better in a warm environment, but some do prefer cooler temperatures such as plants from temperate, high mountain and desert regions.

Let there be light?

Again, this depends on the seed. Most are happy in a wide variety of light conditions and only a very few have a preference for the dark – usually those from extremely

dry habitats.

So, generally speaking, light is good and from the moment the seedlings have sprouted it is vital they receive plenty of sunlight: usually around six hours of full sun every day. Less than this will often cause seedlings to become pale, tall and skinny (leggy, as it’s known) as they search for light: a condition that many will not recover from.

Water This is all about getting the balance right. You will need to keep the seeds moist for them to germinate, but too much can encourage rot, cool seeds down or drive out vital oxygen.

If planting in the garden during hot weather it is a good idea to soak the ground thoroughly a day or two before planting.

Sowing the seed Seed trays which have individual modules are easy to use and have several advan-

tages: you can avoid disturbing young and vulnerable roots as there is no need to prick out or thin the seedlings, and the seedlings are less likely to suffer stress when transferred to their growing area.

Using completely organic versions is even better, as the whole module, seedling included, can be planted directly into the earth and will decompose naturally.

Otherwise, a tray can be used, or they can be sown straight into a pot or the ground. Whichever way you choose, the following can be applied to most seeds.

Loosely fill a container, that has adequate drainage, with potting compost to at least 2cm below the brim, or work the top layer of soil to provide a finer earth if planting in the garden. Moisten the soil and gently flatten it before laying the seeds on its surface.

Very small seeds can be

left mostly uncovered, whilst larger ones should be covered with finely sieved compost to a depth of around twice the size of the seed. If using containers you can cover the pot with clingfilm to stop moisture escaping but this must be taken off as soon as they begin to sprout.

Top tips If you live in mountainous areas which experience cold winters and hot summers if may be advisable to sew indoors at times, planting out when young plants are stronger or when conditions are more favourable.

Draughts in particular can damage newly germinated seedlings so keep them in a warm, breeze free area.

If reusing containers make sure you thoroughly clean them before hand using hot, soapy water followed by a rinse with a dilute solution of household bleach, or distilled white vinegar, and water.

Many hard-shelled seeds may need their coating nicking or scratching to allow water to enter for the seed to swell and germinate.

Some plants lend themselves to home germination better than others so why not have a go with some of the easier ones first: basil, broccoli, cauliflower, chives, lettuce, onions, peppers, tomatoes, marigolds, zinnias, Shasta daisies and columbines all germinate well.

Average germination times range between two and three weeks or up to 12 weeks, so be patient. And if you don’t succeed the first time, just keep trying – there is a knack for growing from seed, but you will soon develop it with practice.

More families pay more UK inheritance tax

By Paul Montague, Partner, Blevins Franks

M

any British expatriates remain liable to UK inheritance tax, where the tax take has been rising over recent years.

If you are a British national, whether you are resident in the UK or Canary Islands, it is important to understand how this tax, and any changes, will affect your heirs.

If you live or own assets in the Canary Islands you also need to keep up to date with Spanish succession tax. It applies if the assets are located in Spain (regardless of residence of beneficiary), or if the beneficiary is resident in Spain (worldwide assets).

UK inheritance tax is charged on your worldwide estate if you are

UK domiciled (UK assets only, if not). The tax rate is 40 per cent, above a tax free threshold. Your spouse is generally exempt (though not always).

Crucially, it is based on domicile rather than residence, a much more permanent concept which does not change simply because you left the UK. Many British expatriates therefore remain liable for UK inheritance tax.

You can however take steps to protect your family from this tax.

The tax free threshold, or ‘nil rate band’ used to rise each year with inflation, but has been frozen at £325,000 since 2009 as part of austerity measures.

We have warned that freezing the threshold is effectively a tax rise. Analysis released by Saffery Champness reveals that HM Revenue & Customs’ tax take increased by nine per cent in just two years since 2009. (Data is not yet available for the 2011-12

Foto> woman in pool

Foto> keys

It is important to know how inheritance tax will affect your heirs

tax year).

The number of estates paying this tax increased by almost six per cent. With the freeze scheduled to continue until 2018, more families will be pulled into the inheritance

tax net, and tax bills will rise.

Rising property prices and asset values rise will also impact on inheritance tax bills.

It is not all bad news. It is often possible to mitigate or avoid this

tax with careful planning and professional advice.

If you are resident in the Canary Islands you may be able to change your domicile. This is hard, but not impossible if you intend to live in Spain permanently and cut ties with the UK. It is complex and professional guidance is essential. HMRC can deem you to be domiciled in the UK even if you consider that you are not - this would have unexpected tax consequences for your heirs.

Also if you or your spouse return to the UK in future, you are likely to immediately regain your UK domicile status, plunging you right back into the inheritance tax net.

Changing your domicile is not the only way to escape UK inheritance tax. Many UK residents successfully protect their family from the tax. You should seek expert advice from a specialist who is au fait with domicile issues, and how UK inheritance tax and

Spanish succession tax interact, so they can recommend the best solutions for your situation.

The tax rates, scope and reliefs may change. Any statements concerning taxation are based upon our understanding of current taxation laws and practices which are subject to change. Tax information has been summarised; an individual should take personalised advice.

Something‘s cooking at Bombay Babu For his main course my companion had chosen medium spicy Chicken Jay Puri and he was absolutely delighted with it. The meat was tender, well cooked and the subtle blend of spices had just enough chilli to leave a light tingle in the mouth.

By Silvia

B

eing fans of Indian cuisine, one fine evening my partner and I decided to try the Bombay Babu restaurant in Torviscas.

My mild L amb Masala, decorated with sliced almonds and a swirl of cream, was absolutely divine: the lamb simply melted in the mouth.

These we accompanied with perfectly cooked, fluffy coconut rice and the lightest, tastiest, Peshwari Naan in the world!

The restaurant has an excellent reputation and as we chose our seats on the spacious terrace area we noticed the friendly atmosphere and pleased-looking diners, which we took as a very good sign. In fact, it was the start of a most enjoyable evening.

We perused the photo menu and were impressed by its quality (they can be a little tacky sometimes can’t they?) and it certainly helped us to choose from the extensive range on offer.

There are various appetizers, then a list of starters that includes Chicken Tikka, Vegetable Pakora, Sheekh Kebab and Hot Chicken Wings.

Side dishes include Bombay Aloo – a classic potato curry served in a semi-dry sauce – as well as Dhal Mukhni, Chana Masala and Mushroom Bhajis.

There is a variety of sauces, rices, naan breads and chapattis to choose from, and even a broad selection of pizzas, such as Margaritas, Chicken Tikka, Tandoori Chicken and Meat Feast, as well as a children’s menu offering such favourites as fish fingers and chips as well as tasters like a child’s Chicken Korma without spices.

We h a d b e e n s e r v e d throughout by friendly and somewhat amusing waiters, Jas and Sam, who definitely added to our experience, making us feel welcome and attending to our every need with an understated efficiency.

And as for the all-important curries, well! Balti, Dansak, Dopiaza, Jalfrezi, Kormas, Methi, Chasney… the choice seemed endless: all the dishes are made from fresh ingredients and curries can be served to various levels of spiciness and with a variety of meats, fish and vegetables. It was nice to see so many vegetarian choices too: and all of it looks extremely appetising.

So, difficult though it was, we finally made our choices and sat back to enjoy the crisp evening air.

Within moments our Papadums and pickle tray arrived, with mint yoghurt, mango chutney and spicy onions, and as we nibbled away delightful smells wafted gently past as other tables were

As the por tions are so generous there was no way we could manage a dessert, which was a shame as the possibilities included the Indian st yle rice pudding, called Khir, and pistachio or mango Kulfi (ice cream) but, no, we could not.

served, adding to our appetite.

Thankfully, the starters then also joined us, as the drooling was becoming embarrassing - that’ll be my partner, not me of course.

His Garlic Chicken, cooked with ginger and coriander plus pepper

and onions, was medium spicy and absolutely delicious I was assured, though I’m sure it couldn’t have beaten my Prawn Puri, with fresh ginger, garlic and a chapatti-like bread which was perfectly spicy.

So we chatted a while, and as we lingered my partner said this was definitely one of the best Indian meals he had ever eaten. And I couldn’t agree more: everything was of the highest quality; the curries are thick, rich and filling, and obviously packed full of the finest ingredients.

But, for me, it was the combination of the quality of the food with the excellent service,

presentation, surroundings and attention to detail that had made the whole evening so enjoyable.

We also noted that everywhere is completely accessible for wheelchairs and equipped for children and, as we saw as we were leaving, large groups are easily catered for.

Luckily, Bombay Babu is now open seven days a week and they will also deliver to anywhere between El Médano and Callao Salvaje. You can phone your request through or simply order online or from WhatsApp on your mobile.

Hi everyone

ometimes something happens that restores your faith in human na-

Very recently I was invited by my bosses and my lovely colleagues at Island Connections to attend a charity function at the magnificent Magma Arts and Congresses Centre.

The event was organised by Friends of the South Forum (FAST), and the Southern Tourism Initiatives Centre (CitSur), to raise funds for a very special charity.

The money will go to setting up a ‘Social Kitchen’ to help people here in the south who are finding it difficult to feed their families in this present time of crisis.

It will be run by the Franciscan order Hermanos de la Cruz Blanca. These brothers of the

white cross dedicate their lives to helping those who are unable to help themselves and are beloved by all who come into contact with them.

The evening was a spectacular event, and was attended almost to capacity with over 900 guest supporting the charity. These guests included top business and major political figures here in Tenerife, and included the island president Carlos Alonso.

I personally was thrilled to meet many friends that evening, including Prakash from the Lions clubs with his delightful wife, and Eric and his very glamorous wife who produce and book shows at the centre and all over the island. Apart from superb cabarets, there was a magnificent three course meal. The head chef Pablo Pastor put on a

wonderful spread, and was ably helped by 30 other chefs who all gave their services freely for the charity.

There were some very beautiful young ladies there who turned every head at the champagne

reception, and we later realised they were the candidates and the winners of the Miss Sur beauty competition. They freely gave their time to help sell raffle tickets, after a marvellous fashion show to the de-

light of everyone, who were so proud of the beautiful girls of their region. During the meal the wonderful harmonies of Mencey Romántico provided traditional Spanish songs that everyone loved and after the

Three Russian acrobats actually took our breath away and looked as though they could have performed at the Olympics, they were so talented, and were followed by Yana a graceful belly dancer. Then came The Drifters, who sang all of the hits we’ve known and loved over the years, with all nationalities joining in the choruses, and finally, Pepe Benavente, Funktastic Band and the DJ from the Papagayo Beach Club.

A lot of money was raised, and I’d like to thank Joe and Tina for inviting me to this amazing event.

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

LOOKING FOR LOVE

One completely matted rescue dog

his new haircut and even with a little jumper to keep him warm.

Let’s hope he’s lucky and finds a new home soon.

We are desperately looking for people travelling to Germany that would be willing to take a dog with them: it costs you nothing but a little bit of your time. Accion Del Sol is completely responsible for the dog and Aktion Tier staff will do all the necessary paperwork and meet you at both airports, and

After a short back and sides, looking good

in Germany the dog will be collected upon your arrival. Please email: acciondelsol@gmail.com or call the number below for more information.

December 8 will be a fun day at the refuge; amongst other activities there will be a talent competition for children aged three to 18 and even Santa has promised to be there.

And, lastly, a message to you all: please think very carefully before allowing your dog to get

pregnant: refuges are full of unwanted dogs and it’s becoming harder and harder to find homes for them. Sterilisation and castration is the real way forward to help this crisis on the island.

Call: 922 778630 for enquiries or to donate towels or blankets etc; see our Aktion Tier Accion Facebook page; or call into the refuge at the Poligono Industrial Estate, Granadilla, Exit 51 off the TF1. Monday - Friday, 3pm to 6pm.

Maddi, Massi and Missi,

Three adorable sisters are looking for their forever homes. Now 14 weeks old, they will be small to medium sized when fully grown. An adoption fee of €140 applies to cover vaccinations, chip and sterilisation at six months of age. Call Sue on 629 388102 for more information.

Dear Dr. De La Flor Dear Dr De La Flor,

ger than ourselves.

ReSOLUTION

Due to my job, I do a lot of physical work and for a few weeks now my back has been bothering me on and off. Is that due to a herniated disk?

Cheers, Jane

For the next two weeks, and especially if you have a relative or a friend taking care of a highneed individual, don’t forget to praise them and to be very grateful. I don’t have a crystal ball but be sure that most of us will go directly or indirectly through this process. Most bed-ridden patients or any awaiting the next ‘stage’ appreciate enormously any gesture of care, or closure, of positive emotion, or prayer.

The most effective medicine for any patient isn’t in my prescription pad, since affection cannot be manufactured, cannot be fitted into a pill, cannot be found at any pharmacy.

Dear Jane A spinal disk becomes herniated when the inside contents bulge out from a weakened portion of the disk.

As a result of that bulging, pressure on surrounding ner ves and str uctures can cause pain as well as discomfort, trouble sleeping, stiffness, etc. The resulting pain may be local or can af fect the leg, foot or hip if the slipped disk is in the lower back.

A herniated disk in the neck can cause pain in the upper back and shoulders. Painful symptoms of a herniated disk tend to worsen after you have been sitting down or standing for a long period, during the night, when you laugh, cough or sneeze, when you walk (even a short distance) as well as when you bend over backward.

Don’t forget that the first thing to do is to rest and use the prescribed medication.

An excellent idea is to do some imaging diagnostics (MRI) to confirm the diagnosis, extension, and severity.

Ask your GP for further advice and please do not let this type of pain linger… and don’t forget to use local heat and light stretching when you feel the ‘tightness’ as well as over-the-counter painkillers

Body posture is critical

and anti-inflammatories. And by the way, body posture is critical. Proper body alignment and proper postural awareness during the day is vital. Best wishes!

By Dr. De La Flor

In the last few weeks, a couple of my bed-ridden patients went to Heaven. In both cases, their relatives displayed outstanding commitment and an edifying dedication.

Doing medical home visits over the years has taught me a great deal. It has introduced me to dozens of unsung, unassuming, self-giving heroes that take care of a patient or a loved one with unrivalled passion and true compassion. The paradox is, most people say thanks to me but the fact is that in most cases I feel an eternal debt to them and

What surprises me too is that in those moments you discover who has a soul and who has a rotten heart. Who truly cares about the person and who truly cares about the ‘stuff’ (the money, the properties, the inheritance, their own self …)

We often forget that the sick and those in need are a real treasure, a true treasure, the only treasure. The only real accumulation of health and wealth is to have the courage, patience, and supernatural outlook to fight for them because we see in them something much, much big-

Auris Touring Sports

Twowheeled promotion

The new Auris Touring Sports combines Auris’ vibrancy and vitality with the added versatility of an estate.

This is the second-generation Toyota Auris (the first lasted from 2007-2012) and the first lengthier model – a whole 285 mm longer.

Ideal for a growing family, business user or sports enthusiast, it has a standard luggage capacity of 530L which increases to up to 1658L with the seats down: something which can be easily achieved thanks to Toyota’s unequaled one-touch Easy-Fold system which lets you fold down the rear seats with one lever. In the rear you will also find a two-way Tonneau cover for security, a luggage

net to keep shopping secure and 12V power outlets.

The interior has seen an upgrade as well. Changes in the driving position are a definite improvement, whilst the heart of the car is built with high-quality premium materials, including a nappa leather steering wheel, satin-silver detailing and a leather-trimmed dashboard available on hybrid models.

The Toyota Touch 6.1” touch screen multimedia system-free calls and a rear-view camera for safer reversing are also amongst the latest advantages.

Rear passengers have 20mm more knee space than previ-

ous models and the panoramic sun roof, 1553 mm by 960 mm, makes the interior feel even more roomy. Its seven airbags, VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) and TRC (Traction Control) are all part of the standard safety features which have given the new Toyota Auris Touring Sports the highest safety classification possible from the Euro NCAP 2013 programme.

Available in Full Hybrid, diesel and petrol models, the Auris Touring Sports offers something for everyone.

t i m i l e h t o t d e Stretch

The world’s first stretched E-Type was recently unveiled.

A left hand drive Jaguar EType series 1, 4.2 roadster, originally built in 1968, has been remodeled in a major restoration carried out by CMC of Bridgnorth, UK. During the rebuild, owner Paul Branstad from the United States also requested a trailer to be built, which CMC cons-

tructed from two E-Type rear ends joined together.

The E-Type has been named “the Kaizen” by Branstad, taking its name from one of Toyota’s founding principles, Kaizen, which means “understand the imperative to make continuous improvements and then get to work.”

Paul added: “The stretched E-Type I have conceived sits

between the Series I and the subsequent vehicles produced after the formation of British Leyland, when the design of the cars underwent several transformations as a consequence of production cost cuts and the need for more space, that resulted in the Series II 2+2 and Series III V12.”

The roof line has also been raised and the boot floor lowered and reshaped to build in a 90 litre fuel tank and to allow for the wider spare wheel.

The latest government incentive for the purchase of new vehicles has finally integrated two-wheeled transport fans.

Plan PIMA Aire 2 offers a number of enticing deals on electric bicycles, mopeds and motorbikes which are now aimed at individuals, not just companies as before.

Part of the Plan PIVE 4, the fourth round of major incentives, the deals offered vary according to type of transport and whether a vehicle is being brought in for scrap or not.

Electric pedal bikes can now receive up to €200 off the sale price, a segment of the market which is growing surprisingly quickly as city dwellers swop their cars for the convenience of a pushbike that comes with a little added oomph. Purchasers of electric motorbikes can get a discount of up to €600 and mopeds up to €350.

Simply visit your local dealer and ask them what deal they can offer you within the plan.

The Roving Reporter’s travels for this first report took him to see the Top two teams in Division 2, Our Place V Amigo’s Warriors in Costa Del Silencio, which on paper could be a cracking game but you never can tell.

First up was Alan for the home team beating, Carl 2 – 0; Spider faced Sarah in the second match, which was a good close game with Sarah holding her nerve and winning 2 -1. Nula was outplayed by Nick, and Debbie was beaten by some good darts from young Johnny bringing the score to 3- 1 to Amigo’s after the Singles. The first doubles match went to Debbie/Alan from Our Place and the second match

went the way of Johnny/ Nick from Amigo’s, bringing the overall Score to 5 – 3 to Amigo’s, the trebles match also went the way of Amigo’s resulting in a 8 – 3 win. The result may have been very different had Our Place not been missing Rhi and Nathan, two of the team’s star players, but never mind all to look forward to in the re-match later in the season.

doubles. Paul/Gary were first up for the Emerald’s, losing in a close game 2- 1 to Simon/Matt. Roger/ Lee then faced Gary/Mel (Legends) with the Emerald Duo winning 2 -1 so all Square at 4 – 4 going into the trebles. After another close match Legends B took the honours with a lot of nail biting during the match, the final score being 7 – 4 to Legends B.

The final trip for this edition was off to Golf Del Sur’s Emerald Lounge to see Emerald Lounge V Legends B, which proved to be a very close game with both teams being fairly evenly matched. First up for the home side was Paul beating Dawn 2 -0, Simon brought Legends B back into the match, beating Wez 2 -0, Richard (Legends B) beat Caroline (in her debut match) 2 – 0 and, finally, in the singles Roger (Emerald Lounge) beat Graham 20 making it 2 – 2 going into the

Well done to both teams, a good close game played in a friendly manner with excellent hospitality from Caroline behind the Bar and the Emerald Lounge Crew. Don’t forget that all league results and fixtures can be found at: http:// tdosundayleague.leaguerepublic. com/l/fg/1396988297.html

Stevie and Chris from Hoops continued their winning streak into the second set of doubles, making it 5-1 and everything to play. It was a strong start to the second half with Ben, Liam and Matt winning their games. Sadly, Jon lost the last frame to Paul from Hoops who had a great game, bringing the final score to 6-4 for Hoops!

Boxing >>

By George Reed

Who can stop the brilliant Mayweather?

T

he reigning world welterweight champion, and without a shadow of doubt the best boxer in the universe at present, was born into the Mayweather family of fighters which has produced a sweet scientist of the highest order and Floyd Mayweather Jnr. knows his history.

After all, his father Floyd Snr. once boxed ‘Sugar’ Ray Leonard, while his uncle Roger won world title belts at two weights and his uncle Jeff fought Oscar de La Hoya when the ‘Golden Boy’ was in his prime. But Floyd Jnr. is by far the best of the bunch. A seemingly legitimate ‘Great’, which for you, at least elevates him above every other fighter on earth. Yet Mayweather has had lots of criticism over the years from the media and many boxing fans, particularly in the earlier part of his career, for trash talking, the woman beating and many other scrapes outside the ring. But when ‘Pretty Boy’s’ genius is on the line it’s best to watch in wonder.

Such is his talent that the reigning W.B.C. world welterweight champion, who in 1998 at the age of 21 and just 18 fights into his professional career knocked out Genaro Hernández to win the W.B.C. super featherweight title, has since won title belts at 5 different weights.

In pure boxing terms that’s just about as perfect as a modern boxing career can get, especially as it includes his 45 professional fights without a loss. However, his critics say that it’s no accident that Mayweather is undefeated, that careful matchmaking has partially accounted for that.

But nearly perfect technical abilities, outstanding defence and hands that move in a blur have been the bigger factors.

His critics certainly had a point three years ago, when Mayweather was due to sign a contract to fight his most dangerous opponent Manny Pacquiao, who had looked untouchable in his last three fights, which would have made it even money in the betting. It seemed like a new threat for Floyd to avoid, so when his father accused Pacquiao of taking steroids, which rankled Pacquiao, Floyd stepped in and asked for additional testing that the Nevada commission had

:: ISLAND CONNECTIONS

News >>

never asked any boxer to subject himself to, and testing Mayweather has never asked any prior opponent to undergo, knowing full well that Pacquiao would blow his top. Mayweather guessed that would break the deal and he’d be able to walk away with his precious undefeated record still intact, and at the same time being able to claim Pacquiao walked away from the fight, which he did.

Which brings me to Mayweather’s next defence of his W.B.C. welterweight belt which is expected to be at the M.G.M. Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on the May 3. Suggested opponents for Mayweather to choose from include the unbeaten W.B.C / W.B.A. light welterweight champion Danny Garcia; I.B.F. welterweight champion Devon Alexander; W.B.O. welterweight champion Tim Bradley; W.B.A. welterweight champion Adrien Broner and there’s even been talk that it could be the middleweight W.B.A champion from Kazakhstan, Gennady Golovkin, but you can forget him for he is too big and powerful and possessing the highest knockout ratio of any reigning world champion (24 knockouts in 27 victories) without a defeat, for Mayweather to even think about facing him in the ring. Then there’s Amir Khan who apparently Floyd fancies taking on, which doesn’t surprise me, for any of the above appear to be more of a threat than Amir, who shouldn’t be in the running for a crack at Floyd’s title for he’s only rated at number eight in the light welterweight division and doesn’t hold any kind of title. However, it would be an easy match to arrange for both boxers work for Golden Boy promotions, who have stated that Amir has the speed and the skill to challenge Floyd. Anyway good luck to the Bolton Boy if he does get a crack at Mayweather and receive by far his biggest payday to date.

And one never knows in boxing, if the contest between the two does take place, and Khan at 26 hits his peak on the night, and Mayweather at 36 was to take a dip in form, it could quite possibly cause an upset and a sensational shot in the arm for British boxing.

CB Canarias

The sky’s the limit!

Tenerife basketball side CB Canarias have been getting used to the dizzy heights of the ACB league in a novel way.

The entire team and coaching staff, accompanied by an assortment of local media, made the trip up to the foot of Mt Teide for a visit to the astrophysics Observatory, from where scientists from around the world study the universe, particularly the sun. The players were given a detailed tour of the telescopes and an interesting insight into the work carried out at the Observatory, which is one of two operated by the Canarian Astrophysics Institute in the Canaries and boasts some of the best conditions for star and planet gazing anywhere in the world. New signing Luke Sikma admitted he was pleasantly surprised by the freezing temperatures at the summit, which were more like what he was used to at home in Seattle.

Regional team demand

Basketball

Roaring start Although falling to the seemingly invincible Real Madrid, who only managed to beat them by five points when they have won their other games by massive margins, Gran Canaria showed that this could be their year in basketball’s ACB league.

The disappointment of losing to the hot favourites for the title in no way dampens the spirit of the Las Palmas club, whose excellent start to the season has taken even the most passionate local

fans by surprise. Coach Pedro Martínez, a shrewd market operator, seems to have struck exactly the right blend with his summer signings and new arrivals such as Nacho Martín and Ian O’Leary are already proving bargain buys. Few teams will relish the prospect this year of a visit to Gran Canaria’s C.I.D. stadium and the hostile reception from 500 fans, who believe honours of some sort could be in store. The islanders reached the play-off semis last year, losing out to the mighty Barcelona.

Canarian wrestling

Showcase world event

The success of Canarian wrestlers at the recent World Ssireum Championships in Korea, despite not being overly familiar with the techniques of the Korean variety of the sport, has led to calls for the islands to host a similar competition here for wrestlers from the rest of the world.

The Canarian delegation received glowing praise for the performances of several members of the squad, particularly Alvaro Deniz, who won one of the crowns on offer, and could well be tempted to pressuring the local federation into organising a big tournament for top competitors from traditional varieties of wrestling (as opposed to the Olympic Greco-Roman

style) in countries such as Mongolia, Russia, Cuba and Korea and European regions such as Britanny. The event would draw considerable world interest and would also serve to promote the ‘lucha canaria’ variety of wrestling further here and abroad, according to the squad that travelled to Korea.

Fans in trouble

Fans who took the opportunity at the last Las Palmas home game to demand the creation of a formal Canary Islands team were dealt with too heavy-handedly, says a local regionalist party.

The ANC party issued a complaint after fans who unfurled a banner calling for a team representing the islands to be set up were interviewed by police at the stadium. The party slammed the club chairman for stifling the calls and also criticised the authorities for the “political persecution” to which the fans are subjected when they try and publicise their demand. “If other parts of Spain such as Catalonia and the Basque Country have teams that compete in friendly internationals, why can’t we?” said the ANC, which is keen to organise an international to raise money for those worst hit by the economic crisis in the Canaries.

SOCCER EXPERIENCE:

on-form for the big derby

Soccer Experience Fun and Social Football in Tenerife & Beyond Credit: Gary Hill

The blanquiazules have turned their season around with some fine displays and positive results over the last six weeks.

In fact the form table shows CD Tenerife to be the second best team in the division just behind Eibar and just above Las Palmas. With the big Canarian derby just around the corner this should make for a cracking game and atmosphere under the lights at the Heliodoro Stadium.

Numancia 0 CD Tenerife 0 Tenerife travelled to Soria in North Spain to find freezing temperatures and the pitch covered in a thick layer of snow. Not exactly conditions the blanquiazules are used to but they put in a workmanlike performance to come away with a very credible draw. Key players Aridane and Bruno were missing through injury , and Borja Perez filled in for Aridane in the centre forward role and had his best game yet since his move in summer. He made a good target man for young starlet Ayoze Perez to work off which led to chances being created. Yet again young keeper Roberto was commanding between the posts and Raul Camera was very focused in the right-back position. The defence has improved immensely, a big reason why the team has started to climb the table. In the final stages the home team rallied and Tenerife decided to hang on for a point. A ‘smash and grab raid’ was almost achieved when Luismi Loro hit the bar after a Tenerife breakaway but Numancia themselves spurned a couple of late chances so a draw was a fair result. The hard earned point was enough to take the blanquiazules out of the drop zone.

CD Tenerife 2 Real Jaèn 1 All the pre-match talk centered around Ayoze Perez and which big name clubs would be scouting from the sidelines (rumours suggest Manchester City are now the best placed to snatch him) but this game belonged to winger Suso Santana. This was his best match in a blanquiazul shirt as he regularly tore into the visiting defence. CD Tenerife boasted seven Canarians in the starting line-up, the most since 1989.

The intensity in the blanquiazules play was clear from the kick-off. Suso, Ayoze and Cristo Martin were like wild tigers and the visitors could only stop them by making fouls.

The breakthrough came on 21 minutes when Suso was up ended in the box, a clear penalty. Ricardo duly converted to the joy of the 9,753 crowd to make the score 1-0. The second half saw an improvement in play by Real Jaèn as they pressed for the equaliser. On 63 minutes however Jaèn were level when Hugo Álvarez flicked on a header to stun the home crowd. Tenerife fought back and were ahead again minutes later when Iñigo Ros headed in from

a corner. At 2-1 the game was interestingly posed but the result was never in much doubt. Suso was running riot on the right wing and a superb gallop from the halfway line almost ended with the goal of the season. These are good times for the CD Tenerife team which has confidence and a raft of locals playing their hearts out. This sets up nicely the big Canarian derby against Las Palmas on December 4 in Santa Cruz. Over 1,000 yellow clad away fans will make the trip with most returning on a special laid on midnight ferry to Gran Canaria. A special night, don’t miss it!
