t was a catastrophic day for 50 year-old Russian human rights journalist Andrey Novoselov when his 8.5 metre boat ran aground at El Porís in Tenerife. At the time of going to press, it was still high and dr y on the small beach. He had left Las Teresitas, Santa Cruz, stopping for overnight boat repairs at Radazul. When he set sail the following morning, 200 metres out of the marina, the high winds took control and he could neither return to Radazul por t nor change direction. He was carried south, to El Porís where he could see the lighthouse. He thought he had reached the ‘end’ of Tenerife and that the winds would blow him out into

He waited for 30 minutes for the emergency services to appear, and as he didn’t have a 200 metre cable on board with which to secure the boat as they suggested, his only option was to beach it, but Andrey didn’t see the rocks hidden beneath the water which have now damaged the hull. Andrey founded a human rights information agency in 2003 and published a newspaper on the defence of rights. He claims that the Russian authorities were, “against” this and in 2005 he was condemned to six months compulsor y labour. However, following an inspection which revealed that he wasn’t working, his

Spectacular jumps in the Siam Park wave pool

The exhibition, billed as the Extreme Jump Event, was viewed by 200 fans from facebook and holders of the park’s yearly membership Agüita card. For four hours from 7pm in the evening, the floodlit Wave Palace pumped out its biggest waves for the surfers to spin and leap over and along. Taking part were Daniel Bruch, Alex Mussolini, Eleasar Alonso, Iván Hernández, Darío Ojeda, Peter Garzke, Walter Scotto and the only woman representative, Iballa Ruano all of whom appeared to thoroughly enjoy the experience of windsurfing on the swell of the biggest artificial waves in the world.

wanted to deport him back to Russia, and so he came to Spain. Andrey has a lawyer in Madrid and applied for asylum here in January. During February he stayed at the albergue (shelter) in Santa Cruz, and spent from March to July at Las Teresitas preparing the boat on which he was planning to reach the United States. Then disaster struck at El Porís. Andrey told Island Connections, “I cannot go back to Russia where there is no justice or law.

It is impossible for an independent human rights journalist to work there. Putin has put an end to all that - there is no more freedom of speech. If I go back, it will be prison, torture, or maybe even death for me. That’s Russia. 600 journalists are already dead.” Meanwhile, while Andrey awaits the decision of the Spanish authorities, both Guardia Civil and Local Police officers pay regular visits to his temporary home on the small beach

where he lives surrounded by the few worldly goods he owns. It looks as though it will be difficult to remove the boat from the beach as it would be almost impossible for a crane to gain access. With a damaged hull, the boat cannot be floated off at high tide either. Andrey could be living there for a while yet, but has plenty of visits from curious onlookers and is grateful to the local neighbours who have been bringing food, water and milk for him.

Late in July, various fishermen advised the Guardia Civil that a Zodiac-type launch was unloading 30 kilo packs of hashish from a sailing boat. The van that came down to collect them, driven by the drug transporters apparently couldn’t access the tiny port of El Puertito because there was a large digger in the way. So, they took away as much as they could, an estimated 300 kilos of the suspected 1,000 kilos that the ship was thought to be carrying, before dawn came and they could be seen clearly and identified by villagers and fishermen. However, when the Guardia Civil arrived they found only 210 kilos in the launch, the

he first half of August, usually a time of fun and happiness for most here in the Canaries, brings back poignant memories for the mother of missing teenager Sara Morales.

Sara went missing exactly five years ago from her home in Las Palmas. Her mother Nieves admits the anniversary is a particularly difficult time for her as the recollections of the frantic hunt launched after she disappeared come flooding back and she remembers how valuable time was lost at the very beginning. “When I received the call from the friend Sara went out to meet to say that she never turned up I had a gut feeling something was wrong.

As reported here, Nieves and Audrey Fitzpatrick, the mother of an Irish teenager who went missing on the Costa del Sol a few years ago, have joined forces for a campaign to keep the pressure up on the authorities to continue the hunt for their daughters.

The spate of tremors on tiny El Hierro recently has yet again produced confusion in the eyes of the general public as to what the mini earthquakes should be interpreted as meaning.

Monday to Friday 9:30am - 1:30pm / 5:00pm - 8:00pm Saturday 9:30am - 1:30pm

The investigation centres largely on up to 200 authorisations granted to developers to build on land in Arona in breach of planning legislation. Sources close to the investigation say a string of tapped phone conversations have revealed widespread use of political influence in Arona over a period of several years.

During the days immediately after the tremors, which measured around 1.8-2.0 on the Richter scale, various so-called experts argued that the earth movements were probably a pointer to forthcoming undersea eruptions somewhere west of the Canaries. However, leading volcano specialist Juan

an agreement to defer repayment for up to six years, the authorities here are likely to challenge the decision by the Spanish Treasury on the grounds that the current funding model does not take into account the losses sustained by the Canaries for medical treatment provided to holidaymakers by the regional health service, for which it often does not receive full reimbursement.

ago. As a recent example of the ‘usefulness’ of the Facebook-type site, the critics point to a query from a Tenerife man asking when the road from Garachico to Buenavista will be resurfaced. The reply, “roads are the responsibility of the Cabildo, get in touch with them,” was described as hardly edifying or indicative of direct presidential interest. Another comment stating that Rivero’s party does not practise the nationalism it preaches merited a curt, “I disagree with you” response. However, other personal queries concerning genuine individual problems are often invited to contact a private e-mail address set up by Rivero for more confidential contacts, of which there have been around 300 since January, according to the government. Carlos Carracedo has subsequently stressed that the multiple quakes were, “perfectly normal”. “El Hierro is the youngest of the Canary islands, which are all of volcanic origin, so it is only natural that it should still experience movements, but these are no cause for alarm,” said Carracedo in an interview on Cope Radio. The vulcanologist, who was in the headlines several years ago for contradicting British scientist Simon Day’s controversial claims that an eruption in La Palma would cause a giant tsunami that would destroy the eastern seaboard of the United States, said only Spain’s National Geographical Institute was qualified to issue public alerts concerning seismic activity.

Home alone

The parents of two British youngsters who were left all day at their Golf del Sur holiday apartment are likely to face prosecution for neglect. According to local daily El Día, the ‘home alone’ situation was only discovered when a 10-year-old boy injured his leg badly at the swimming pool at 8pm and had to be tended by other holidaymakers. The boy and his sister told police their parents had gone during the morning on a trip to Playa de Las Américas and would not be back until midnight. Police eventually located the parents but only the mother was willing to return to the scene to accompany her son to hospital, according to sources consulted by the paper. Las Palmas>>

Bellydance award

The city of Las Palmas has won its bid for Guinness record recognition of its recent giant belly-dance session on the Las Canteras beach. The collective Dance Day was organised by

dairy products giant Danone on 29 May to promote a healthy life-style and, in the process, better the previous record held by the Hungarian city of Pesc. The official recognition by the Guinness Book of Records, that Las Palmas had raised a crowd of 842 on the beach (16 more than Pesc) and all were dancing at the same time, took several weeks to process, but the allimportant certificate has now been received by the organisers and duly handed over to the Ayuntamiento for display. The record-breaking feat also features in the on-line edition of the Book of Records under Most People Belly Dancing Simultaneously. Guía de Isora >>

Nurseries ‘privatised’

The decision to hand over the running of municipal nursery schools in Guía de Isora to a private company has been slammed by the Popular Party in the town. Local PP spokesperson Sara Mesa, who is a councillor in Guía, said the move was indicative of the poor management skills of the PSOE mayor and his colleagues. “We knew this was coming even before the May elections but the announcement was clearly held

back by the mayor so as not to lose votes. While we are in favour of measures to stimulate business in our area, this is not one of them as it essentially means that public nurseries are being privatised,” said Mesa. The criticism is refuted by the town’s education councillor, who says the nurseries, “remain public but are to be managed privately”. Dog attack >>

Russian roulette hike

A Russian tourist suffered a nasty shock when he went hiking in the Anaga hills outside Santa Cruz recently. The 40-year-old was walking alone near Chamorga when he was attacked by four dogs and knocked to the ground, suffering a serious head gash as he fell. He was spotted a short time later lying dazed by other hikers who alerted the police. Before being taken to the University hospital to be treated for a serious bite to the thigh and his head wound, the Russian gave a full description of the woman owner of the dogs, who was located quickly by officers and quizzed over the attack. Local media say she is likely to be prosecuted over the incident.

Education

Teaching posts cut means bigger classes T

he new school year is just weeks away and already the war of words between the Department of Education and teachers’ unions has commenced. Three unions have gone public with their fears for teaching standards after learning unof ficially that up to 400 primar y posts have been cut for the coming year and, as a result, many schools face larger class sizes. “Instead of making appropriate provision, the Department has increased class sizes to the limit in full knowledge that September always sees further increases due to new arrivals from other parts of the countr y and abroad. This will mean that the current ratios will be even higher for many teachers,” said a spokesman for the unions. Also detected by the unions in the Department’s

planning for September is what appears to be a U-turn on its previous commitment to ending the practice of merging pupils from two different years in a single class in smaller schools, a situation which has drawn strong criticism from parents. The planning details have prompted an angr y reaction from teachers and unions who say the Canaries’ new

education minister José Miguel Pérez has already gone back on his promise to place, “schools and pupils at the centre of the new education priorities”. Pérez also admitted recently that the 2011 budget for substitute teachers had been used up as early as March and it may prove difficult to hire them in the required numbers from September.

Fishing, strolling and collecting money for summer fiestas complete the range of

activities. Boats go back on the water. Hauled out in October, the sight of them afloat heralds the arrival of summer calm, when two cars can stop in the middle of the road for occupants to chat in comfort. The alarmist lobby always foretells disaster at this point. Although seasonal, for those of a gloomy disposition there is no pleasure in such calm. The tourists, “have gone, never to return”. Politicians, prices, the euro, their neighbours, lack of sand and various other culprits, are to blame, they maintain. Should anyone mention they

have foretold imminent financial ruin at the same time each year, for decades, our experts counter with comparison. This year, whenever it is, is always “the worst” in their long experience. When schools break up in late June, their predictions, at least of empty beaches, already ring hollow.

They swim, dive, splash, fish, float about on inflatables or small rowing boats, try hard to drown each other, resist

ently, do you forget how. The first fiestas in June are a warm up for the multitude of delights to come. There are suddenly more people everywhere. Students come back from Tenerife and islanders living away come back for their local bash. There are, thankfully, no northern tourists with cameras snapping the quaint antics of the locals at play in summer. La Gomera’s summer fiestas are alive and well, requiring magically regenerating liver and energy reserves, unlimited free time and endless sociability of anyone attempting them all. At the height of summer there can be two or three on the same day. Early on a fiesta day there is a mass, and a danced procession with local instruments chacarras and tambores (chunky maracas and drums) to accompany the saint being feted. There may well be a communal lunch, parrandas, children’s activities and sporting fixtures. A one-

man show may provide dance music for oldies until early evening, when a lull eventually occurs. Stalwarts hang on for the big bash later, but at this point most people limp home for a breather. None of the evening dances start until eleven, or really get going until one or two am and dancing continues until dawn, fuelled with drinks from little fiesta ‘ventorillo’ bars. By the last weekend of July, the last vestiges of calm disappear. La Gomera is a popular destination for Canarian holidaymakers in general and a must for absentee islanders, the so-called Gomero Lights whose family homes are here, although they live elsewhere. Back they all come. Ferries arrive full of families in cars, crammed with food from Tenerife’s hypermarkets. The beaches suddenly sprout hundreds of parasols, chairs and assorted beach equipment. These are serious beach-goers and nothing is overlooked. Bars and restaurants reopen and fill up at lunchtime with holidaymakers in beachwear. Cars cruise around, and a lot of cheery meeting and greeting goes on. Local establishments are accustomed to the much quieter, more compliant northern European visitors who come during the winter. These summer visitors are far more demanding, but also more lucrative to deal with. No sipped cafe con leche for an hour on a bar terrace for them. When Canarians are on holiday, they generally do themselves proud. Ale Jimenez, proprietor of the popular El Bajío restaurant in Valle Gran Rey concurs, “we run about more for summer visitors. They’d drive us crazy if we let them. But they like to eat well; a lot of fresh fish and seafood with good wine, homemade desserts. They’re discerning. If they like what you offer, they come back every day. They’re big spenders.” Long live the summer visitors!

Arafo

Market row Arafo’s new street market is the latest to come under fire from local shops, who want it shut because of the unfair competition it poses. The market, set up as part of a plan to inject life into the small town, is opposed by local traders because the stall-holders do not have to pay for any licences despite occupying a prime site in front of the Ayuntamiento.

“No-one consulted us on this and the council has not even checked to see if the people there have food hygiene and food handling certificates, which our members are forced to have,” said a member of the Arafo Traders’ Association. The bitter war over the authorisation given to the market has even seen anonymous letters sent to shops advising them to, “lay off the stall holders” and allow them to get on with their work.

Criminal damage

Labourers’ revenge

Two labourers who were told their services were no longer needed by a Tenerife contractor took revenge on the firm by vandalising the hotel they were working in. The La Laguna pair, aged 51 and 34, caused damage estimated at €14,000 in the hotel after receiving the news but were identified quickly and arrested on charges of criminal damage. According to the Guardia Civil in Adeje, they broke newly-fitted tiles, smashed holes in walls and broke mirrors in the rooms which were being refurbished by the contractor.

Amarilla golf club visit P

upils from the third year at Los Cardones secondary school, near San Isidro, had a practical exercise in English conversation with a difference earlier this year, when they enjoyed a visit to Amarilla Golf. The main point of the day was to carry out interviews with the English-speaking club members who had just finished their rounds in a competition that was specially organised for that day. In addition to the interviews, the students were given an introductory golf clinic in both English and Spanish by local professional Javier Toll, and were shown around the course by bilingual course marshall Jose Lorenzo. The students then had to write a full report on the day in English. The visit was coordinated by the school’s English teacher Selene Fuentes and English conversation assistant David Britton, who is himself a member of the golf club. A trophy was awarded for the best English report and this went to Barbara Rachel Garcia and Jennifer Alma Torres. Club Captain Ian Sharp attended the school to make the presentation in front of the girls’ fellow students.

Candelaria >>

Conditions irk TV

TV channels invited to bid for the rights for live coverage of the big Candelaria fiestas on 13-15 August were understandably peeved at the string of conditions imposed by the organisers and it was no surprise that no expressions of interest were received. According to the El Día local newspaper, the organisers instructed that the image of the Black Madonna be referred to at all times during coverage as, “the official patroness of the Canary Islands” and presenters, camera crew and technicians had to wear, “appropriate traditional dress” while in Candelaria for the three days of celebrations. They also insisted that only

presenters and commentators with a deep knowledge of the significance and history of the festivities should be appointed by their channels for the coverage. When the committee - comprising the local council, a representative of the Bishop’s office and another from the basilica where the statue of the Madonna is kept - met to review the bids it found that no TV channel had submitted a request and it was forced to open last-minute talks with the region’s public broadcaster to ensure coverage of the festivities, which are the biggest of their kind and draw tens of thousands of people from across Tenerife, many of them walking for over a day to reach the coastal town.

‘Pilgrim’ fine warning T

he authorities have reiterated last year’s warning to people flocking to the coastal town of Candelaria between 13-15 August for the annual pilgrimage in honour of the Virgin that walking on the motorway will be met with on the spot fines of up to €200 per person. Local mayor José Gumersindo García said safety was the, “paramount concern” for the massive weekend and no chances would be taken with avoidable accidents. “Last year 56 people were fined for breaking the ban on motorway walking and we will be equally strict this year with offenders,” said Interior Ministry spokesman José Antonio Batista. The event attracts tens of thousands of people from across the island for the essentially religious festivities but increasingly of late it has drawn large crowds of young people who use the celebrations for binge drinking, often wheeling their bottles and cans of alcohol in supermarket trolleys along the road.

Pilgrims walking along the motorway face a stiff fine

Surf and turf By Martin Dowse

The area offers a wide variety of landscapes and activities

n this issue we concentrate on the diverse landscape which the west coast presents. At sea level the coast offers endless opportunities for low impact water-sports. There are a great number of surfing and windsurfing sites made possible by the prevailing winds and the countless number of perfect waves. Playa de Punta Blanca at Varadero, just short of Playa de La Arena is a particularly favourite spot. There are a number of sandy beaches such as Playa de Los Guíos (Los Gigantes), Playa de La Arena and Playa San Juan as well as many pebble beaches at Alcalá, Playa de La Barra, Playa de Erques and La Caleta. Natural inlet pools

such as those at Alcalá and man-made rock pools such as Fonsalía and Puerto Santiago provide an alternative for the swimming enthusiast. Below sea level the seabed often falls away sharply to provide a paradise for divers. There is a great variety of underwater scenery from sand banks to under water caves, shipwrecks and a multitude of marine species to see. If you fancy a go then call in at one of the many dive centres in the area who will be happy to help with everything you need. Coming inland we find the foothills where, after the 15th century conquest by the Spaniards, the first settlers chose

to live. It is believed that Alonso Fernandez de Lugo overcame the last pocket of local resistance in 1496. For many centuries and indeed up to the late 1960s locals endured subsistence farming. They cut many ter races (bancales) into the foothills, to catch the rainfall on these steep slopes. Cereals and potatoes were the main crops but with improved irrigation tomatoes and the local banana (plátano) soon took over, mainly for their export potential. Many of the road plans in this area follow the ancient bridle paths which zig zagged over the geography of steep slopes and ravines. They link

many of the older towns and villages of the region which were isolated from the rest of the world until the 1950s. Incidentally motorcars didn’t come into prominence until the 1960s! The hamlets of Taucho, Chirche and Las Fuentes are good examples of these lovely places. Above the low land region lies an area of volcanoes and protected areas. This is the oldest part of the region and as you climb higher the landscape takes on a darker tone with very little vegetation. Here are the origins of the most recent lava flows of 1909. Great views are on offer, upwards to the summits of Pico Viejo and Pico del Teide and downwards to the varied coastline and sea. The cloud cover is between 800 and 1200 metres so above this the sky is clear providing exceptional views for astronomers. There are countless nights to get a good look at the star studded sky of the west of Tenerife. Incidentally, if you look carefully on a clear moonless August – September night around midnight the pale band crossing the sky is the Milky Way! The West coast is a truly diverse area to explore and, whether you are a tourist or a resident, to enjoy to the full. You can choose the beaches and water activities or the hill villages, towns and the vast mountain range to make your stay memorable. All of the places named here can be found on a good map of the island, an item which is essential if you wish to make the most of your stay here in Tenerife.

Coast

Word on the beach A

group of young people joined volunteers from the Spanish Association against Cancer in a seaside stand at Playa San Juan recently. Most people thankfully now have enough education and common sense to take their rubbish home with them, but in an effort to make the local beaches cleaner, the youngsters were giving out beach ashtrays and encouraging people to help keep the beaches clean and show their children how to do it too. The campaign, called ‘Enjoy a clean beach’ is supported by the Guía de Isora council and is set to cover other beaches in the borough as well. They were joined by the AECC representatives as part of their campaign to make people aware of the problems, including skin cancer, which can be caused by overexposure to the sun. They were giving out leaflets on the topic, other propaganda informing people what the AECC do and free samples of sun cream. A two pronged campaign at Playa San Juan

Continental Cup Islas Canarias This tournament which is a qualifier on the road to the 2012 Olympic Games in London, will take place at Playa Fañabé in Costa Adeje between September 30 and October 2. The event was officially presented at a press conference earlier this month, when a letter of agreement stating that Playa Fañabé would be precisely prepared according to federation requirements and conditions was signed by the parties involved. Those present included Canarian government tourism minister Ricardo Fernández de la Puente, Cabildo councillor for sports María del Cristo Pérez Zamora, Giorgios Gagalis, Supervisor of the International Volleyball Federation, Carlos Cabeza, Director of the Continental Cup Canary Islands, and Adeje councillor for culture, sports and youth, Adolfo Alonso. This tournament is described as the ‘Davis Cup of beach volleyball’ and will occupy a massive area at Playa Fañabé featuring the colour blue (to match the

Olympics), and will include VIP and social areas. Six countries will be competing, each with a male and female team: Spain, Norway, the Czech Republic, Austria, Serbia and Slovakia. The winners of each category will participate in the grand final, guaranteeing entry to the 2012 London Olympics which will be played in Horse Guards Parade. Beach volleyball has been featured in the Olympics since 1996 in Atlanta and has proved to be extremely popular. So much so, that the tickets for the London event will be the second most expensive after those for athletics. Entry here will be free, and visitors will be able to take part in autograph and photo sessions with the Champions and even practice the sport with them. There will also be an amateur beach volleyball tournament for the youngsters. The Annual Gala Dinner will take place at the Sheraton La Caleta Resort and Spa. This promises to be a unique and prestigious event which will once again put Tenerife firmly on the sporting map.

Sea rescue

Shipwrecked Six people had to be rescued from the sea when their boat caught fire off the coast of Adeje. The five adults and eight year old boy were travelling to Playa Paraíso from Puerto Colón. The owner of the boat saw smoke coming from below decks. When he went to use the extinguisher, he found it didn’t work, so he ordered everybody overboard. Three boats appeared rapidly to pick up the passengers and the sea rescue helicopter and rescue ship were quickly on the scene to smother the flames. The remains of the ship were towed back to Puerto Colón.

CD Tenerife

Footie fans One of the most popular of the summer camps this year despite relegation, was the C.D. Tenerife football campus in Guía de Isora. Nineteen children between six and 16 years of age took part in the camp held in the main town’s Tomás Hernández Alonso ground, to be trained by members of the local side. The cost for each child was €100 with a 20 per cent discount for season ticket holders and share holders. As well as six days football training, the fee also included two full CD Tenerife football kits of shirt, shorts and socks, a daily picnic, insurance and a diploma at the end to prove they had been close to some of their idols. Two lucky children, Sergio Abreu and Saúl José Chinea won the draw for free season tickets for the upcoming football season at the Heliodoro Stadium.

Looky looky sellers

Under the spot light

Scores of African ‘looky looky’ sellers can expect closer scrutiny from police following a massive rise in complaints by holidaymakers that they are offering much more than cheap sunglasses on the beaches.

Police have confirmed that a flood of complaints were received in July from people saying they had been offered drugs such as marijuana and cocaine by the Africans. A police source said the reports would be consistent with a noticeable increase in aggressive behaviour by the sellers when challenged by officers on the street or beach. “Normally they would not get too upset at being challenged about their goods because selling the glasses and other items

without a licence is a relatively minor offence. Of late, however, they have been running off and even assaulting officers, which would indicate they have something more to hide,” said the source. The local police forces in Adeje and Arona have been ordered to keep a watchful eye on the Africans for signs of dealing on the streets. News in Brief >>

Garachico

Jobless

Locals queuing at the job centre in Garachico were surprised to see a new addition to their ranks recently in the shape of the town’s last mayor. Ramón Miranda, who had to step down after a controversial vote recount deprived him of the slender majority he thought he had won in the May elections, has admitted he is having to look for work for the first time in almost two decades. According to a local paper, despite being jobless and no longer wearing the chain of office, he still receives visits from people in the town asking him for help to find employment.

New Red Cross headquarters T

he building at the top of Mesa Mota which has remained closed for so long, finally has a permanent use. As the island council seemed unable to make up their mind about taking over the running of it, the local council has decided to hand it over to the Red Cross as their headquarters in the borough. The charity currently occupy inadequate and ancient premises in the Calle Hermanos Marrero behind the La Concepción church tower. The original plan was for the building to be used by various companies involved in investigation and development work through an agreement with the Cabildo and previous to that, the Ministry of the Environment’s Biodiversity section also had an interest. Neither of these options materialised. Finally the local council’s social wellbeing

TenerifeGeneral

department took a hand in finding a good use for the building. It’s an ambitious premises, designed by the architect Damián Trujillo, with an assembly hall, residential area and ample parking spaces. The building will allow the Red Cross not only plenty of room to run their administration from there, but also to develop more ambitious field work activities. Mesa Mota is a small outcrop close to the foothills of the Mercedes Mountains and topped with tree heathers and myrtle. It has long been known as a beauty spot and has a recently overhauled and popular barbecue and picnic area. Overlooking the Nor thern Airport, it was chosen as the site for the striking monument to the victims of the deadliest accident in aviation history, the March 1977 crash between two planes which claimed 583 lives. You can’t help but think that the final use for this building, in close juxtaposition with the monument, is a much more appropriate choice than previous proposals. All that needs to be seen to now, is for something to be done about the appalling state of the access road and adequate signposting to be set up in and around the town. A more appropriate use for the building near the monument?

SummerShopp Something a little different Shopping centres

enerife has many in and out-of-town shopping centres, all known as ‘centros comerciales’. Amongst these are Meridiano in Santa Cruz, AlCampo in La Laguna, La Villa and El Trompo in La Orotava, CC Santa Cruz (known as Carrefour), and in the south, GranSur, Plaza del Duque and El Duque in Costa Adeje, Safari, Américas Plaza and Oasis in Playa de las Américas, to name but a few. All these shopping centres seem to contain branches of the same chain stores, as well as a sizeable super- or hypermarket. Additionally, you will find a few exclusive shops, and several of these shopping centres also house a cinema complex. They are all excellent, but if you are tired of seeing the same stock displayed in a different shop window, and yearn to see something different, then why not try the actual town and city centres around the island, many of which are being brought back to life.

Traditional Shopping

anta Cruz is worthy of a visit, and if you explore the city’s less famous streets – the narrow back lanes which are slightly off the beaten track – you will find some exclusive shops and boutiques, and also some interesting eateries. Tenerife’s capital mixes modern life with its history, and national and international brands are sold in its main

CITY AND TOWN CENTRES ARE GROWING IN POPULARITY

shopping areas. There are various zones: Zona Centro, which includes the streets in the area of Calle Castillo, Cabo Llanos near the bus and tram station (Intercambiador) and Avenida Tres de Mayo, Rambla, La Salle, and the market area which includes the Rambla Azul shopping centre. This area, which has developed around the Municipal Market of Nuestra Señora de La África (excellent for fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, pickles and spices), is probably the most active part of the city and includes the famous Rastro. Here, from early every Sunday morning, the stalls are set up near to the market, selling all types of new and second-hand goods including clothing, items for the home, furniture, crafts, flowers and plants, costume jewellery, fabrics, bags and cases, antiques, toys, books – in fact everything you could possibly think of!

La Laguna But without doubt, one of the very best, and most interesting places to visit, is La Laguna. Situated in the north east of Tenerife, in the Valle de Aguere between the Rural Park of Anaga and the mountain of La Esperanza, La Laguna is steeped in history, and was originally the capital of the island. This city is where Spanish troops won the final battle against Guanche resistance, thus completing the conquest of Tenerife in 1496 and leading to the island’s incorporation into Spain. Following this defeat, the city (then part of the territory known as Aguere) was founded the next year as the Villa de San Cristóbal. This settlement

was soon moved further inland to its current location where it would be less susceptible to pirate attacks and where it would also benefit from fertile soil for cultivation and a nearby supply of drinking water. Thus La Laguna was born, and was initially centred around the actual Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de La Concepción.

Since then, La Laguna has gradually expanded. Due to the economic development of Santa Cruz, the city lost its title of capital in 1843, but despite this it is still a cultural capital. This was recog-

nised internationally when it was named Patrimonio de la Humanidad by Unesco on December 2nd 1999. The streets of the heart of La Laguna, most of which dates back to the 16th century, now form a vast open air, mainly pedestrian only, shopping centre with a variety of shops set amongst grand monuments and historic buildings. It is a fairly active shopping area, where small family businesses which have survived through the years now mix with modern shops and exquisite boutiques. In turn, all these shops

blend in with historical and typical local architecture. Indeed, behind the windows and doors of these quaint cottage-style Canarian buildings lie many interesting shops just waiting to be discovered.

This is where you can find, for example, plenty of typical handmade objects, first class fashion (including some Tenerife Moda firms), designer boutiques, elegant footwear, children’s clothing and toys, furniture and furnishings, bathroom accessories, Indian clothing, sportswear, books, perfumes,

jewellery, lingerie, haberdashery, gifts, electronic goods, Tenerife wines, and a wide variety of fresh food products from more than 20 stalls in the municipal market which is open every Wednesday in the Plaza del Cristo. La Laguna is where you could find that unique gift or outfit that you won’t find anywhere else and what’s more, you’re still in time to pick up a bargain in the final reductions of the summer sales. All this combines with the excellent personal attention

ping One of the very best, and most interesting places to visit, is La Laguna and welcome that you will receive. Bigger stores will remain open all day, but the more local shops are likely to close during the afternoon siesta hours, the ideal time for you to take a break too.

If you are spending a whole day in the city, hunger or thirst are bound to strike sooner or later. La Laguna has a variety of tascas and restaurants where you can enjoy traditional dishes or creative cuisine, all made with fresh local products. There are also many international restaurants to choose from. If you are just peckish, try some of La Laguna’s lo-

cal pastries and sweets, either in a café or buy from a specialist shop where these delights are handmade on the premises. Sit outside on their terraces and watch the world go by. The centre of La Laguna has not changed much over the years. The configuration of the streets remains the same, some buildings have been lost, new ones have been built, and others have been restored. But the skeleton of the city remains the same, and the majority of the historic centre has now been pedestrianised, making it a safe place to be for all ages. Look up, and you will see typical Canarian balconies and carved wooden windows together with characteristic roofs covered by endemic plants. On ground level, there are beautiful plazas, lush gardens, hidden courtyards and after dark, theatre, music and other cultural activities in the streets. If you are staying after dark, you could even attend a performance at the beautifully renovated Teatro Leal.

La Laguna is dedicated to science and culture, so in between shopping you could visit one of the many art exhibition rooms or museums. One which is certain to surprise both adults and children is the Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos where some of the secrets of the Universe are revealed. Pay for your entry with your bus ticket bono and get an instant discount. The city is well served by bus and tram, but if you choose to drive, there are plenty of easily accessible and well signposted car parks which are all reasonably priced. Whichever you choose, you will only be a few minutes’ walk away from the town centre. It has another major advantage – it is level, no struggling up hill and down dale, just a gentle stroll!

All in all, a visit to La Laguna will not only provide a great cultural day out, but a different and unusual centre where you can shop to your heart’s delight in a unique atmosphere.

Shopping centres T

he shopping centres here on the islands, or centros comerciales as they are called, are all based around a sizeable super- or hypermarket, and these are usually Mercadona, Carrefour, Alcampo, Alteza, SuperSol, HiperDino or Hiper Trebol, most of which stock a range of local, national and international brands as well as fresh local produce.

Parking is extremely easy and usually free of charge. In some of the shopping centre car parks, you will also find various vehicle services on offer such as car wash and polish, tyre and battery fitting, etc, all of which can be done while you are shopping.

The stores you are likely to find inside are Bata, Carolina Boix, MaryPaz, Zona Zero (footwear), Women’s Secret or Etam (lingerie), Punt Roma (stylish ladies fashion catering for larger sizes), Stradivarius and Zara (young fashion), Cortefiel, Benetton, Encuentro, H&M, Momu, Número 1 and Mango amongst others (fashion), Orchestra (children’s clothing), plus a number of shops dedicated to cosmetics, sunglasses, books, toys, sports, jewellery, shoe repairs, accessories and other goods.

Bargain hunting

Dress for much less E

ven if money is no obstacle, there is a great ‘kick’ to be had from picking up a real bargain – a quality item at an almost giveaway price! In Tenerife we are lucky to have several ‘outlet’ shops, stocking main brands which can either be seconds or leftovers from previous seasons. One of our favourites is El Corte Inglés which has a 2,500 square metre premises in La Avenida del Paso on the Los Majuelos industrial estate just outside Santa Cruz. The four-storey building is dedicated to the sale of clothing – top brand textiles, footwear and accessories for all the family with discounts of up to 40 per cent. Marks & Spencer have an outlet on the Costanera industrial estate, just past Radazul on the TF-1 motorway, selling their quality clothing at bargain

prices. This is a warehouse which is only open until 2.45pm. Amazing bargains can be found, especially during the sales periods, at the Mango Outlet in CC San Eugenio, Costa Adeje, where there are two floors full of clothing, footwear and accessories for women and men. Occasionally items can be found for as little at €1.99 each. For sports enthusiasts, Inter Sport have an outlet inside the Hiper Trebol complex at the entrance to Los Cristianos, and after ten years rest, Numero 1 stores have been relaunched all over the Canary Islands, selling several main brands of clothing including Orchestra, Eureka Kids, Bimba & Lola and Stradivarius with discounts of up to 50 per cent. More upmarket outlet stores can be found at CC El Duque, including Escada, an outlet shop for Escada, Es-

cada Sport and Laurel Apriori brands, on street level, facing the market site. Inside CC El Duque on the lower floor, is Innova Outlet for women’s clothing and accessories, and Stock & Fashion, for Stradivarius. A bit closer to the coast in Plaza del Duque is a Weekend Outlet, situated on the lower floor. But the king of outlet shops has to be Galerías del Duque, in a basement unit beneath the Hotel Dreamplace Gran Tacande and facing Plaza del Duque. This is a super-brand fashion outlet for men and women, and with discounts of 50, 60 and 70 per cent, this brings the concept of designer clothing within reach of even the poorest of us. Brands include Calvin Klein, Cacharel, Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, Gucci, Made in Spain, Miss Sixty, Versace, Diesel and much more. There are

even rails of clothes priced at €10 and €15. A delicious selection to suit any occasion plus footwear, bags and accessories. Whether you are on your holidays or live here, it is easy for all the family to dress for much less and go home with a great bargain.

Several centres (Meridiano in Santa Cruz, La Villa in La Orotava and GranSur in the south) house cinema complexes and a range of restaurants and fast food outlets, so that you and your family can turn shopping, eating and a visit to the cinema into an enjoyable day out.

Dressing for a shopping spree I

f you are planning to go shopping on the other side of the island, that is to say you live in the sun-baked South and you are heading for La Laguna, with maybe a detour over Mount Teide on the way back home, you will need to dress appropriately.

La Laguna and its surrounding area are notorious for suddenly being bathed in low cloud, and could be as much as ten degrees cooler than the South. On the other hand, you could be lucky and find that La Laguna is warm and sunny. Be prepared for any eventuality. The best plan is to wear clothes that you can layer.

WELCOME

WHERE SHOPPING IS AN ART

YOUR BEST SHOPPING OPTION

Wear lightweight trousers or jeans, or you could opt for shorts in the summer. For women, start with a strappy top which could be covered with a t-shirt, then a cardigan or bodywarmer, a hooded jacket or both. For men, a t-shirt which could be covered by a shirt, a bodywarmer and then a jacket. In this way, if the weather gets warmer you can always remove clothes as you wish, layer by layer or vice versa. Dress the children in a similar manner. You will be doing lots of walking on your trip, so comfortable footwear is essential. We chose our clothes from mail order catalogue La Redoute, Marks & Spencer and Next.

Lacking education Seven out of ten people searching for work lack formal qualifications according to the Tenerife business people’s confederation, CEOE. The latest statistics from the Active Population study, apparently reveal a large increase in the percentage of people out of work who are unable to read and write, have no study history or only to a primary level. Seven out of ten of them are on the dole compared to 2.2 out of 10 nine years ago. The CEOE are suggesting that to get these people back into the workplace it will be nec-

essary to train them and they are also suggesting further actions to reduce the number of schoolchildren who abandon their studies. They are also proposing: a closer union between universities and training centres so that the courses are more linked to the needs of the market, the concentration of resources into the programmes that manage to get the most people working for the least cost and incentives to companies to employ new people and maintain the ones they’ve got, such as the temporary reduction in the working day.

For over a quarter of the Canarian companies the number of difficulties placed in their way to finance projects for their businesses is the second most important factor limiting their activity, behind the weakness of consumption.

There are 8,812,560 pensioners in Spain of which, 261,101 live in the Canaries. The average Spanish pension is €805.77 and here in the islands, €755.99, up 3.1 per cent over last year.

Rubbish laws

In the bag The recent prohibition of single use carrier bags by 2018 will put a further 6,000 people out of work according to the plastics industry. It’s difficult to believe, but statistics show that every Spanish inhabitant uses 300 single use carrier bags a year out of which only 15 per cent are sent to the recycling plants according to the Ministry of the Environment. The seven gram plastic bag which can hold up to five kilos more or less has brought the plastics industry in direct confrontation with the government after the July 14th Spanish Congress vote to replace them with a biodegradable variety. The Spanish Plastics Industry Association (Anaip) claim that almost half their work force will be made redundant. The industry claim that things have not been done well and they feel abandoned, but the Ministry say they have been given enough time in the next seven years to adapt and innovate. The biodegradable bags are in any case considered to be only

This covers the whole process for obtaining credit from the necessary previous analysis, to the application, processing and negotiation of the conditions of the loan, help or grants nationally and from the EU. The service is for existing companies as well as new companies, including those who have already been turned down by the existing bank.

Statistics

The National Police and the Guardia Civil seized over nine and a half million forgeries in 2010 to a value of over €461 million.

Between them, the forces of state security carried out 3,410 operations resulting in 3,512 arrests for copyright related crimes. The most frequently copied articles were leatherwork, textiles, games and audiovisual items and the most number of arrests in Madrid, Andalusia and Valencia. The amount of forgeries in leatherwork and textiles has always been high, but the rise to 13.2 per cent of the total in toys is worrying given the consequent dangers that are posed to health and safety.

a transition phase for replacement eventually with fully recyclable bags which are not for single use only. The current bags cost around €0.02, whilst the new biodegradable bags will be around four times that price. Decisions already taken by many large supermarkets and stores to charge for the bags has reduced their use by 25 per cent in the last three years according to Anaip. They are proposing a new stronger bag which can by used up to 15 times, but which won’t be biodegradable. Further complications arise in the collection of the two types of bag as biodegradable bags should not go into the yellow container because of their organic components. In which case, if the Congress vote is ratified, between 2013 and 2018 there will be two kinds of bags which will have to be deposited in different recycling bins.

The length of time it takes to find another job is getting longer in the Canaries according to the Confederation of Businessmen and women in Tenerife (CEOE). In 2007 11.5 per cent of the unemployed took over a year to get a job, in the first quarter of this year, that figure has grown to 24.6 per cent. Similarly, the figure for those who take two or more years to become reemployed was at 12.2 per cent in 2007, and now stands at 21.9 per cent.

Public transport

On the buses

A recent study of 40 Spanish cities by consumer body Facua has revealed a difference in the tariffs amongst the urban bus services of almost 142 per cent.

The average price of a journey with a rechargeable ticket, if they are available, is €0.66 and €1.05 for a standard oneway ticket, 59.1 per cent more. The difference between the highest and lowest prices is 141.7 per cent. Fares have been raised this year in 25 of the cities studied, with an average increase of 3.6 per cent. The most expensive oneway ticket is in Barcelona at €1.45, followed by Girona, Seville and Valencia who all charge €1.30. The cheapest is in Logroño at €0.60, followed by Lugo at €0.64, Linares in Jaén at €0.65 and Cuenca and our own Arrecife in Lanzarote at €0.70. Facua reminded consumers that on average, buying a bono ticket for multiple journeys is around 37.6 per cent cheaper for those companies that charge for each journey and between 37 and 68.5 per cent cheaper for those who allow you to switch between bus combinations for longer journeys. Once again Arrecife figures in the list of the cheapest bono tickets in the latter category at €5, beaten only by Logroño at €4.52.

ay again saw an important drop in the number of mortgages conceded by banks and savings banks. The total number of mortgages was registered at 37,619, a drop of 32.2 per cent on the same month last year although the drop was less than that experienced in April of 38.2 per cent. Optimists are saying that the figure represents a moderation in the falling tendency which has now been reducing each month for the last 13 months. The average mortgage fell to €110,032, 4.3 per cent less than May 2010, but up 2.9 per cent on April 2011. Once again it was the savings banks who gave out more mortgages than the banks, 50.1 per cent of the total, with banks providing 36.1 per cent and other finance companies 13.8 per cent. The savings banks also lent more money in May 44.1 per cent of the total, followed by the banks at 41 per cent and the balance provided by finance companies etc. Average interest rates were set at 4.08 per cent, an increase of 4.1 per cent over the same month in 2010 and one per cent higher than the previous month. Savings banks averages were 4.17 per cent over 22 years and banks at 4.15 per cent over the same average period. No region increased the number of new mortgages over May 2010, with Cantabria at 59.2 per cent less and Castille La Mancha with a

drop of 43.8 per cent showing the most regression. La Rioja with 304 mortgages for ever y 100,000 inhabitants was the region which showed the highest number of mortgages per head of population. Once again the Basque Countr y was the region with the highest average mortgage given at

Property prices dropped 5.2 per cent in comparison with April to June in 2010, and the average per metre price across Spain was at €1,752.10 a drop too of 1.4 per cent over the January to March prices.

BritishEmbassy Property advice from the British Embassy

Mortgages in Spain T

he following information is suggested as practical advice which you may wish to take into account when contemplating taking out a mortgage in Spain.

there are any debts to third parties outstanding. You can find a detailed list of other documentation you should have in hand when purchasing a property on the ‘Before you buy’ section of our website.

While the FCO hopes that this information is of benefit to our customers, please be aware that it is not intended to be the only guidance purchasers follow. In addition, the FCO makes no representation as to the quality or accuracy of the information which is available at the web addresses listed below, nor can the FCO accept any responsibility for the content that is hosted on them.

Make sure you fully understand the mortgage agreement you sign. If you have any doubts check with the branch during the 10 working day period after the ‘oferta vinculante’ has been provided.

General advice: Do your homework: You should analyse and compare a range of different products and services offered by different lending companies. If you have any doubts about the terms and conditions, ask the lender to clarify. You should also check that the lender is authorised to operate in Spain on the Bank of Spain’s Registros de Entidades. Look for the mortgage which is most appropriate for your capabilities and needs. There is a range of different mortgages on offer including fixed/variable/mixed interest rate loans and fixed repayment instalment loans. You should pay special attention to the combination of interest rate and repayment period, fees for setting up the mortgage as well as early repayment/cancellation fees. Ensure that you have seen a copy of the Property Registr y report (nota simple) which enables you to verify the owner (so you can make sure the seller is the actual owner of the property) and check whether

Check that any information the lender periodically sends you is correct. If for any reason you cannot keep up the mortgage repayments, you should speak to your bank immediately (before defaulting on repayments) to discuss the options available (e.g. reduce your payments for a set period, extend your mortgage term to reduce your payments, charge you interest only for a set period). You should be aware that mortgage legislation in Spain states that the borrower is liable for the total debt borrowed. If you cannot keep up the mortgage repayments, the Spanish bank may repossess your property in Spain. If the value of the property is less than the total debt outstanding (you are in negative equity), the bank may pursue your UK assets to recover the mortgage shortfall using a European Enforcement Order.

Asociación Hipotecaria Española (Spanish Mortgage Association) Before taking out a mortgage in Spain you may find it useful to read the mortgage guide published by the Asociación Hipotecaria Española (Spanish Mortgage Association). The Asociación Hipotecaria Espa-

ñola is an organisation made up of banks, savings banks, cooperatives and credit financial institutions which have a major presence on the mortgage market and it has a strong interest in transparency and protection of consumers. The guide is available in English and includes information on choosing a mortgage, documentation you need to present to get a mortgage, repayments, interest rates, fees as well as general information about buying a property in Spain. The website also includes English translations of Spanish legislation applicable to mortgages.

Your rights The Bank of Spain states that as a customer taking out a mortgage you have the following rights:

The right to receive an initial free information booklet which states the loan conditions and the preparatory costs of the mortgage which must be met by the customer (valuation, verification of the property on the property register…) even if the mortgage agreement is not signed in the end.

The right to consult the Central de Información de Riesgos del Banco de España (CIR) (Department for Risk Information in the Bank of Spain) to check the debt held by the company issuing the loan. The company also has this right if they have given you prior notice.

The right to propose and choose (through mutual agreement with the bank/savings bank) the person or company who will carry out the valuation of the property for which you are seeking the mort-

gage and who will also be in charge of administrative management of the operation. You can also agree with the company which insurance company will cover the risks which the lending company requires to formalise the mortgage.

As a customer, you have the right to know which professionals carry out the additional services related to the loan, how much they charge and the proof that they provided that service.

The company will usually only agree to contract these services to professionals or reliable companies they have worked with previously, as the company is responsible for the risk of the operation. However, since December 2007, if you provide a valuation certified by an approved assessor which has not expired, the company cannot charge you for a new valuation.

The right to receive a copy of the valuation report (or the original if the operation is not agreed in the end) when the said cost is met by the customer.

Once the valuation and appropriate checks have been carried out, the lending company must provide a written statement of all the necessary information about the conditions of the mortgage they have decided to grant you. This is usually done through an ‘oferta vinculante’ (a binding offer for the lender) which is valid for 10 working days, giving you time to study it and clarify any queries. Alternatively, the lender should notify you of refusal to grant a mortgage.

You have the right to consult the proposed mortgage contract in the notary’s office during the three

working days prior to it being signed and if there are any discrepancies between this and the binding offer, to request that the notary informs the company so it can be corrected.

To request a copy of the final mortgage agreement from the notary, paying the relevant fee.

.To receive the liquidation documents and the receipts for the mortgage.

Your obligations: To fully inform the lending company about your financial and personal circumstances. The correct information is necessary for the company to conduct a risk analysis of the transaction, before agreeing it. The customer also promises to, if stated in the contract, inform the company of changes of address, marital status, if married whether the property is common property/ separate property and other personal and financial circumstances. To provide the agreed funds for the preparatory costs of the contract (e.g. administrative costs, valuation etc). In the majority of cases, to organise damage insurance for the property for which the mortgage is being granted. To pay the agreed regular quotas and bank commissions on time. Any other obligations agreed with the lending company, such as, for example, not to rent the mortgaged property without their prior consent if a minimum level of rent is not agreed. It is advisable to keep a copy of the final mortgage agreement and all documentation relevant to liquidations.

Long awaited changes are in the air as business disputes are settled and a new era begins in working relationships. Let sleeping dogs lie now, and plan what you want to accomplish. Messages from old friends or lovers may be unnerving. If possible, avoid lengthy social discussions.

Organic S Landscaping Techniques

By Janece Wilkes

o often, parents of little children delay designing their space or investing in nice pieces until the children are fully grown.

Of great benefit to the environment, organic landscaping is also good for your wallet and for your health. The lawn is most often the most visible part of a landscape. It’s not necessary to use a pile of chemicals to take care of your grass. By actively caring for the soil in your lawn as well as the grass, you can create a healthier lawn. Use organic fertiliser made entirely of organic materials. These fertilisers do cost more up front, but when they are used regularly reduce long-run costs as they reduce the need for expensive chemicals and don’t need to be applied as often. Start using methods that promote healthy soil and better grass roots such as aeration, which results in naturally healthy grass that withstands pests better and keeps weeds out on its own. Top dressing and over seeding are other organic practices that improve the health of the lawn. Top dressing is spreading a mixture of half and half organic compost and fine sand in a fine layer over the lawn. This improves the lawn rooting, creating healthier, hardier grass, without fertiliser. Over seeding is using about one and a half times more seed than the recommended amount which promotes quicker germination and results in a thicker lawn that fights weeds. Fertiliser, organic or otherwise, is not necessary if you practice common sense in using organic gardening techniques. Create your own compost and mulch by using grass clippings from the lawn mower and leftovers from the garden. Raked leaves and pine needles and weeds can also be used. By leaving them to decompose, you are creating nutrient-rich organic matter that can be used, in turn, to improve the health of all the plants in your landscape, not just the lawn. Organic gardening can be a very rewarding and money saving effort when you do it yourself. Article Source: http://www.diyarticlelibrary.com

Opt for easy-care leathers, microfibre, or even vinyl when choosing sofas and chairs. Whilst leather is a more expensive option, it should last through wear by children and pets and wipes off easily. You can also consider outdoor fabrics such as Sunbrella or washable slipcovers. Either way, pick a pattern as they hide dirt more easily than solids and avoid frills on

are no problem to clean on these hard surfaces. Rugs can be added for extra softness and are cleaned more easily than wall to wall carpet. Nonskid pads are a good idea to stop the rug from slipping underneath little feet. In the dwelling’s private areas where carpet is more suitable, a pattern or texture hides walked-in dirt and stains better. Using carpet tiles is also an option. If you do have a stain, you can simply replace the one tile and the stain is gone. Paints that can bear a child’s sticky fingers are improving. Make it a point to select a paint that is washable for busy households, normally, the higher gloss effect the more cleanable the paint. Eggshell finishes are becoming more and more cleanable and are a more comfortable sheen to live with. In some areas of your home, you might want to

Choose good quality furniture which will last through harsh treatment and is of a high safety factor. Choose a range of sizes of storage areas from chunky storeroom trunks to smaller drawers to keep up with the ever-changing sequence of children’s toys. Finally, keep your furniture flexible. Activities alter so frequently with little ones; let your furniture be more changeable to accommodate a range of actions.

Using up to date technology and a few tricks, building up a chic, child-friendly setting is not as hard as you thought. Having a young family is a delight, especially if you have created charming and exceptional environments to enhance those out of the ordinary moments together.

think about wipeable wallpapers as a defence against little fingerprints. If you have an area that needs additional toughness, go for a stronger finished piece such as bead board or consider a dramatic treatment such as upholstered vinyl walls. You’ll get back the extra upfront cost, by avoiding expensive repairs and cleaning later. Security must be your first thought for window treatments if you have tiny ones around the house. Remember that long draperies, as much as we like them, may not be right for playful children. The long panels are a temptation to play with (and just the thing for a hide-and-seek spot) and can fall if not hung properly. Gases from paints, carpet, and finishes could be toxic to a smaller child. As much as possible, decide on low VOC (products that don’t release significant pollutants), organic or natural products for the healthiness of your home and family. Eventually, your children will grow up (a sad thought, we know) and you will be able to get those plush fabrics and furnishings you’ve been waiting for. For now, remember that just because you have small ones, doesn’t mean your family doesn’t deserve a welldesigned and organised place. Your children will thank you.

What investor protection do you have?

raise €2.5 billion in capital between them. Another 16 need to strengthen their balance sheets.

Bad debt warning for UK banks

ollowing recent press articles, this is a good time to remind savers and investors to establish what level of investor protection they have.

European stress tests

The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority published the results of its insurance stress tests, designed to assess the sector’s financial resilience. Nearly 10 per cent of insurers failed and a solvency deficit of around €4.35 billion was uncovered when the companies were subjected to an adverse scenario. The European Banking Authority then published the results of its stress tests which tested the resilience of 90 banks against a prolonged economic downturn. Eight banks failed (five Spanish, two Greek and one Austrian) and need to

The Bank of England’s Financial Stability Report found that UK banks have been much more lenient with loans in arrears than in previous economic downturns. This could cause problems if the economy were to weaken further. The International Monetary Fund had warned in May that, by helping customers who are struggling to repay their loans, British banks could be “masking” the scale of the potential dangers. While they may appear to be adequately funded to withstand a shock, they may not actually be able to in practice.

Small UK bank collapses and savers lose money

The level of investor protection you have varies according to the financial arrangements and the country they are managed and regulated in

ings, investments or insurance arrangements, you should establish exactly how you are protected and to what extent in the event of institutional failure. Many savers with larger cash deposits have spread them out over more than one bank. Others have opted to move capital into arrangements which provide a higher level of investor protection than banks can offer. For example Luxembourg offers one of the best investor protection regimes in Europe - its state controlled protection law is designed to provide maximum security to investors without limit. If you have an investment bond issued by a Luxembourg regulated insurance company, your investment assets are completely protected should the insurance company fail. For advice on asset protection consult a regulated advisory firm such as Blevins Franks Financial Management Ltd. Blevins Franks Financial Management Ltd is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Services Authority for the conduct of investment and pension business.

Procedure in June. Savers are protected under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme but the maximum guaranteed is £85,000 per customer. Unlike during the financial crisis, the government did not cover deposits above this limit, so some savers have lost money. While few savers were af-

fected at this small bank, what would happen if a larger bank collapses? It’s dangerous to expect the government to repay savings above the compensation limit should a bank collapse. The bank had been offering an interest rate of 4.5 per cent before the collapse – consider-

ably higher than more conventional banks.

Dear Dr. De La Flor

Dear Jana,

Dear Dr. De La Flor Why is eating breakfast so important to help control weight? Normally I’m not hungr y in the morning. Thomas

Dear Thomas Thanks for your question, asking “why” make a lot of

back memories

Is it tr ue that ear wax has a relationship to heart problems? Jana

Over the last few decades, there have been studies proving a connection between wet ear wax and atherosclerosis and higher levels of apolipoprotein B, a protein that travels with particles of LDL (bad, lousy cholesterol), while those with dry earwax were more likely to live longer. But don’t take me wrong the vital factors we should aim for to ward off heart conditions, a r e p h y s i c a l a c t i v i t y, appropriate cholesterol and triglyceride levels, a balanced weight, work/leisure balance, and pursuing happiness with zest since happiness seems to keep us all away from doctors! Best wishes.

Coaching Corner ::

nvest in making memories! It’s a personal decision, of course, but research supports spending money on experiences rather than material possessions. Not only do going places and seeing things lead to more happiness, but experience-oriented people are better liked by others than those who are materialistic.

Dear Dr. De La Flor

There have been studies trying to figure out if there is a link between the type of earwax we produce and the risk of hear t disease. One part of that connection is correct — humans have different types of ear wax, also known as cerumen. Wet earwax, which is brownish and stickier, has higher fat content. On the other hand, dry earwax, which is gray and flaky, contains higher protein content. The type of earwax a person has is genetically determined.

sense. There has been a lot of research on why regularly eating a healthy breakfast may help us not only lose excess weight but also maintain our ideal weight. The first issue I always explain to my patients is to “observe” the root of the word “break-fast” … After a night of no eating, and sometimes physical activity … we need to replenish the body’s tank with fuel!

stores that supply blood sugar (glucose). As a matter of fact skipping breakfast is associated with decreased physical as well as mental activity and per formance. Let’s remember - breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper!

In general, eating breakfast reduces our hunger later in the day, making it easier to avoid overeating. When we skip breakfast, we may feel ravenous later and be tempted to reach for a quick fix, such as something sugary or sweets from the vending machine or any other type of treats …

Can sitting in a steamy room or over a steaming pot of water clear up sinus headaches? Gina

In addition, prolonged fasting — which occurs when we skip breakfast — can increase your body’s insulin response, which in tur n increases fat storage and weight gain. In fact, skipping breakfast actually increases our risk of obesity. Eating breakfast gets us on track to make healthy choices all day. People who eat breakfast regularly tend to eat a healthier diet — one that is more nutritious and lower in fat. When we skip breakfast, we are more likely to skip fruits and vegetables the rest of the day too. Eating breakfast gives us energy, increasing our physical activity during the day. A healthy breakfast refuels our body and replenishes the glycogen

Dear Dr. De La Flor

Dear Gina This old-school treatment, used already by the Romans, really works. Inhaling steam flushes out your nasal passages, relieving sinus pressure by clearing debris and built-up secretions. You can kick it up a notch by adding a few drops of an overthe-counter natural product called Sinus. It’s a mixture of essence of eucalyptus, menthol and pine. The minty smell causes a tingling sensation in the nasal membrane, and this has a decongestant effect. It will help wash away secretions, relieving headaches as well war ding of f sinus infections. You can also dab some Vicks VapoRub at the lower rim of your nostrils. In medicine, some of the old remedies have proven to be quite effective and inexpensive.

nd that’s partly because once we buy something, we get used to having it around, and it no longer gives us the pleasure it did in the first few days following a purchase. An experience, on the other hand, can be enjoyed again and again when you remember it and tell others about it.

RESOLUTION: Most of us are going to take some days off during the summer. Let’s try for the next two weeks to find time to experience or reexperience new emotions, situations, places, hobbies … Let’s plan to spend quality time with our loved ones and in those hobbies or passions that help us clear our mind and refresh our mind and spirit. Talk to you in a couple of weeks.

By the way, feel free to add me as friend on Facebook (Manuel De La Flor). Talk to you in a couple of weeks.

Clean car air

Vehicle smoking ban Amid calls for a ban on smoking in private cars in Spain, especially those containing young children, both Ireland and Wales announced that they were considering similar measures. The Irish Minister for Health, Dr James Reilly said that a potential ban was under consideration within the general policy review on tobacco. He was a firm supporter of banning smoking in cars whilst in opposition. When asked by Fianna Fáil TD, Seán Fleming, whether or not such a move was being considered where under 16s were in the vehicle he replied that he was, “in favour of legislating in this area” adding however that it would be necessary first to convince the public. In Ireland, there are already smoking bans in place in company cars, taxis and vans – all of which are classed as workplaces. The move would have the full support of the anti-smoking lobby, ASH, and of Senator John Crown who recently declared in the Seanad, “it is the commonplace experience of every citizen who drives through the city and who gets stuck in a line of traffic to see chil-

dren strapped into car seats in an enclosed car with one or more adults smoking in that car”. Irrefutable links have now been made between children exposed to cigarette smoke and various illnesses such as chest infections, asthma and ear problems. A report from the British College of Physicians puts the number of children affected in the UK for example at 165,000 a year, with 9,500 needing hospital treatment, and includes such frightening illnesses as some cases of meningitis and sudden death cot syndrome as being possibly caused by passive smoking. Early last month, the Welsh Assembly announced that it wanted to make Wales the first country to ban smoking in cars with underage passengers. According to the Welsh First Minister, Carwyn Jones, such a ban would make, “a powerful statement of intent about our commitment to the health of our children”.

Skin care

Grape protection A new study by the University of Barcelona and the CSIC show that flavenoids in grapes may help us avoid some of the negative effects of ultraviolet rays. The anti oxidation properties of certain fruits have long been known but the flavenoids contained in grapes have now been shown to inhibit the formation of certain substances which cause skin cell death originated by solar radiation and which are responsible for skin cancer, sunburn and premature aging of the skin. Ultraviolet rays activate certain substances in the skin that react to oxygen, which in their turn cause other enzymes and lipids to kick in which favour skin cell damage. The conclusions of the study suggest that the results are taken into account by the pharmaceutical industry for the development of new skincare sun protection products. There are already grape based cosmetics on the market, but up until now the actual mechanism of how they affected the cells was unknown. It may well be that future sun protection will include taking a pill of flavenoids derived from grapes, but what many of us would surely like to know is if wine has the same effect.

Equine legal requirements

Chip in

A new system for identifying horses has been introduced in the Canaries to help avoid the dumping of these lovely animals, a practice that has sadly risen recently given the cost of maintaining them and the economic crisis. The system will of course also help to reduce fraud and guarantee the health of the horses and donkeys. The registration will include information about the race of the animal such as the burro Majorero and will be based on an individual passport for each animal, linked to its own microchip. According to the law, anyone caught with an animal without the proper identification will be liable to a fine of between €600 and €600,000.

e recently received the following cautionary tale from Barbara Smith, Vice President, Friends of the Animals Fota. “At the crack of dawn one morning in June a couple of large dogs, a Boxer and a Mastiff, were dumped down our lane in Guía de Isora. They were starving, near to death, were so weak they had difficulty in standing and our first thought was that they had broken legs. The Mastiff was the weaker of the two, mainly due to a terrible injury to her neck where a heavy chain had grown into the flesh. She also had a badly diseased eye. The Boxer spent all her time licking the neck, probably saving her friend from severe infection. “FOTA work in partnership with K9 but on this day there was no room at their kennels. I had seen a lot of publicity for the 112 Scheme so decided to put it to the test. I was put through to a very helpful English speaking gentleman who assured me that someone from the council would contact me shortly. Late in the afternoon it was obvious that no-one was going to ring. Meanwhile, my husband and I had been gaining the

Because the 112 scheme will only take dogs from the street, we had to, reluctantly, leave the girls outside to make a bed in our garden. “Next day, a Friday, I and a friend went to Guía de Isora, only to find the council offices closed until Monday because of the San Juan Fiestas. We had no choice but to continue with TLC over the weekend. Because I was concerned about the situation, I contacted Acción del Sol and spoke to the manager Marion. She was very helpful and promised to keep in touch and let me

know when the dogs arrived with her. “K9/FOTA always give their animals an identity by naming them. I called the Mastiff, Carol and the Boxer, Tina (after my daughters) and they grew stronger and more affectionate daily. On Monday morning we returned to Guía, this time the office was open and we were told the dogs would be picked up as soon as possible. Result! The wagon was waiting when we arrived home and the girls loaded on board. I rang Marion to expect them but they did not arrive until the Tuesday morning. Anyone reading the story of these dogs in the Acción del Sol News will know that there is a happy ending. Carol was operated on immediately and even her eye was saved! They seem to be getting a lot of spoiling and no dogs deserve it more. Expecting this to be the end of the story, I was surprised and touched when Marion sent us up-to date photos and promised me that, because of her devotion to her friend, she would try to find a home where Tina can live with Carol for the rest of her days. If there were medals for dogs, Tina should receive one! As to the 112 Scheme, it seems that, in Guía de Isora at least, one has to go to the office - on the left, past the cemetery - and demand action. In my experience phoning did not work but I would like to hear of other experiences. Hats off to Acción del Sol. The loving care they give to their animals is second to none so I recommend persevering with the 112 Scheme!”

This play premiered at the Madrid Comedy Theatre in 1918 and was an instant success, reflecting Spanish medieval humour. Nowadays, it is the fourth most performed play in the country. Tickets are on sale now at www.magmatenerife.es. Zone A (floor level) €8, Tribuna Central €10.

has attracted increasing attendance figures year after year, reaching 15,000 in the last two editions. During around 20 hours, the public can enjoy the Eólica formula which combines workshops, exhibitions, chats, audio visual projections, performances, and two stages which will feature current pop/rock/fusion and electronic music. In this way, Eólica will transmit the value of science and technology in tackling the greatest problems in our society, amongst which are energy supplies, which are strongly linked to that of water, in a way which ensures social wellbeing and economic prosperity for humanity without compromising the future of our planet. Energy efficiency and saving, sustainable energy and water supplies as well as the vital role of investigation and what is being achieved here in the Canaries will be emphasised. The contents of this year’s festival will be divided into Eólica Familiar (12 noon to 7pm) and the Eólica Festival (7pm until close). In the daytime there will be attractions for all ages including workshops, children’s activities, exhibitions, entertainment, guided tours around the Pozo Izquierdo installation, demonstrations and chats. After 7pm, the artists will take to the stages. The Carton Stage will feature the latest in pop, rock and fusion while the Plastic Stage will bring electronic music including tech, house, electro techno, progressive and tribal to the audience. The first confirmed artists on this year’s bill are Vetusta Morla (Madrid), Bomba Estéreo (selected by MTV as one of the 25 best new bands in the world in 2010), Carlos Jean (creator of the song Ay Haiti!) and El Guincho.

Hi everyone,

This week I’d like to mention someone who did almost as much for the integration of races as Martin Luther King, but who, apart from the older generation’s memories, is mostly forgotten today.

MUSIC AND SCENIC ARTS Billy Graham with Barak Obama

is name was Billy Graham, and he was a world famous evangelist. He was also a great friend of Martin Luther King, each respecting the other and acknowledging that each could do different things with the same goal in mind, helping the African American population of the United States gain equal rights with the white population.

t was a very dangerous stand to take, and it was many years before both men were able to get their message across to the population of America. Martin Luther King once gave advice to Billy Graham, suggesting “that Billy stay in the South and hold integrated meetings and that he (King) was going to take to the streets and that he would probably get killed in the streets. But I don’t think you ought to hold meetings in the streets, because you are going to be able to do some things that I can’t and I’m going to be able to do some things you can’t, but we’re after the same objective.”

illy took this advice, and gradually his meetings attracted more and more African Americans, whereas before they had been mostly whites. I personally remember doing cabaret in Durban in South Africa, when Billy Graham was going to hold a meeting, back in 1973. Apartheid was at its height, yet that was the first time blacks and whites were allowed to be together freely in that country. It was held in a stadium, and was an amazing experience.

part from the political and religious implications, the appearance of the evangelist was stunning. He had a huge stage, with groups of singers and musicians appearing like a stage show, but using religious songs with a beat, with

tambourines, guitars, and many other musicians. We all sat on the grass in brilliant sunshine, enjoying the spectacle immensely. And finally the great man appeared. He was dynamic and mesmerizing, and the whole of the stadium erupted in clapping and cheering after every sentence.

hites and blacks alike sang and cheered together, and shared picnics, and a stranger to South Africa that day would never have dreamed that apartheid was the evil they all lived under. Graham worked closely with Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Clinton and Nixon - urging them to ensure equality for all. He was responsible for the conversion of millions of people, and helped change history for African Americans the world over.

illy Graham has preached Christianity to live audiences of nearly 215 million people in more than 185 countries and territories through various meetings, and has also reached hundreds of millions more through television, video, film, and webcasts. This amazing man is now 92 years old, and although very frail, has survived cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and generally failing health, yet he still hopes to continue preaching his gospel and has recently had a personal audience with Barack Obama. He is revered in the U.S.A. but the youth of the rest of the world have probably never heard of him. Yet without heroes like Billy Graham and Martin Luther King, many of these young people would have a very different life to the one they enjoy today. Until next time, take care of yourselves, and especially each other katykennedy@telefonic.net Mob 616110930

Holiday lets

Saving money on beach house rentals A

s the crisis squeezes, if we don’t want to cut the number of days we spend on holiday the option of renting an apartment as opposed to being taken care of in a hotel gains in attractiveness. Although there are always those who would prefer to relax totally, if for less time on the budget they have available, by being looked after 24/7. Renting an apartment in a destination can save you up to 50 per cent on what you would spend in a hotel, but you can save even more if you choose cheaper areas such as Galicia, Murcia and Valencia or within the islands the less popular destinations which receive little or no exterior tourism. Shop around, as always, is the best option and prices in general are even cheaper this year than last. According to the website Renatalia.com, more people each year choose the apartment option and not just for economic reasons,

but for privacy, somewhere to get together with family and friends and the freedom of choosing your own hours. Holiday homes on average across Spain work out at about €26 per person per day. The Spanish national institute for statistics data shows that there are around three times as many hotel places as official holiday apartment lets. Many apartments are only let

in the summer months. There are 111,000 normally registered, but that figure grows to 150,000 in the summer months as the owners of second homes make the most of an opportunity to gain a little extra cash.

Where to rent?

The destination is the key. In Galicia expect to pay around

In 2009, according to the insurance companies representatives, Unespa, 425,000 homes were invaded, a theft a minute and many of them at holiday times. Electronic, digital and audio visual equipment, jewels, art and cash are the most desired targets. There is no one-off rule to keep thieves away from your property, but it is possible to make sure that these undesired visitors think twice before choosing your home. If you are going on holiday, follow these simple guidelines to make your home more secure whilst you’re away.

safe fitted in your home, ask at your bank. You can hire safe space to keep your valuables - antiques, paintings, documents, jewellery, cash, cheque books, credit and debit cards that are not needed for the journey. The cost is from €50 but it would give your valuables security during your holiday and you peace of mind.

to make a detailed list of all the equipment you have in your home. Include make, type, article number if stamped and a photograph if possible.

€15.90 per person per night. On the other hand if you choose to holiday in the Balearics an average rental will cost you €41.30 per person and night. The next most expensive destination is the Canary Isles at an average of €34.40. Cheap can sometimes turn out expensive, as many will know to their cost. It’s a good idea to look at other aspects than just the stated cost of the apartment. When you book make sure you use a trustworthy rental individual or agency, fraud is not very frequent but it does happen. Make sure you have a good level of communication with the owner of the property or agency. Before you hand over a deposit, you should be clear on what characteristics of the property you feel are most important. Be very careful about properties that are

marked they may just leave them be. Of course these measures won’t stop them taking them, but it will make it much more difficult for them to get rid of the items and easier for the police to return them to you if they recover them.

Strengthen your security

Install a second lock, a reinforced security door, security hinges, an alarm system or other security alternatives. Don’t forget to double check that all the entrances to your home are shut tight, including the windows and doors to interior patios, terraces, drying terraces etc. If you live in a ground floor apartment, it would be better to put bars on all the windows. In upper apartments it’s most prudent to reinforce the locks on the windows and terraces with security systems which avoid the possibility of them being opened from the exterior. The simpler alarm systems

cheaper than market value or sales people who pressure you to sign a contract and hand over your money, they could be heading to the hills with your deposit and you will be left with no holiday roof over your head. Be sure you know the total cost of the apartment, not just the daily or weekly charge. Sometimes there are additional agency fees, charges for cleaning or parking. It is normal to be asked for a deposit which is returnable so long as you leave the apartment in the same condition you found it. If this kind of deposit is required it will be payable when you collect the keys. Check beforehand so that you don’t end up short of cash for the length of your stay. You also need to be clear on the conditions if you need to cancel due to some emergency, how much notice you have to give to get your money back and how much is returnable for example. The cost of getting there has to be taken into account as well as local services. An isolated apartment might be cheaper, but it is also probable that you will need to hire a car or use taxis if you want to get around at all. Make full use of the apartment space. A family of four can fit comfortably into a one bedroom apartment if it has a sofa bed, after all hopefully you’ll be spending most of the day outside enjoying your holiday destination. However be careful not to exceed the maximum number of people allowed or you could be faced with paying a penalty. A writ-

with an alarm bell and a warning by an sms message or phone call that someone is in your home are easy to install and can be obtained for around €50. More complicated systems, connected to a central alarm reception, require the guidance of a professional and are more expensive, around €5,000, although low monthly instalments are often available.

Silence is golden Be careful

not to publish your holiday plans on blogs, social networks, chats etc. The only people who should know your home will be empty are your family, close friends and neighbours.

Key control Never put your ad-

dress on key chains. Your keys can

ten contract is essential and it should include not just the dates but the time you will be picking up the keys and the time you will be handing them over as well as the arrangements for doing so. Ensure you have a fixed and mobile number for the agency or owner. If anything goes wrong with the apartment whilst you’re there, you’ll want to be able to get it put right as soon as possible. One of the most obvious savings with an apartment is the possibility of cooking for yourself, or of course, what you save on breakfast and lunch can be splurged on a meal out in the evening, whatever the family budget will allow.

Advice for owners

Renting an apartment is easy, however it is best to organise the handing over of keys, the type of contract and arrangements for cleaning. Announce the rental in as many areas as possible (posters in the window, the press and Internet). To attract clients you need to adjust the price to the type of accommodation offered, how it is finished, furnished and equipped and where it is. Take care over the wording of the advertisement, the photographs you use, maybe include a little about where the property is and the activities in the area. Legally you are allowed to occasionally rent out a property for holidays, but it is recommended that the contracts you sign state clearly the daily rate as well as the total amount you will receive to serve as proof for the Tax Office when you make your tax declaration. For your own peace of mind you may also want to take out one of the insurances that are available for renting out holiday homes.

be left with the doorman of your apartments or urbanisation if you live in one or with a neighbour who should keep them in a safe place, never marked with the address or name of the owner, or in sight of anyone else who may have access to them.

Leave no outward signs Ask a neighbour or the doorman to regularly collect the propaganda, mail and any other signs which could indicate that you are absent.

It sounds harsh but if the robbers find it tough to get into your home, they’ll go to another which is easier to access. Leaving your home more secure will help you relax more and enjoy your well earned holiday.

New Hyundai Elantra

he new Elantra, a family car which is pure elegance on wheels, made its debut at this year’s Barcelona motor show, attracting much attention.

The Elantra actually has a history of its own. The first generation was born in 1990, the second in 1995, the third in 2000 and the fourth in 2006. Now we have the fifth generation, refined to perfection and offering a truly dynamic performance. Born to lead, the Elantra is equipped with a new engine and 6-speed manual gearbox, a team whose power is as impressive as its fuel saving capabilities. The 1.6i lightweight aluminium petrol engine incorporates innovative new technologies to reduce fuel consumption and emissions to the minimum and at the same time increase power to provide faster acceleration. Squeezing the most from each drop of fuel, this engine is a leader in its class in terms of fuel saving and low running costs – another attractive

steering wheel, this car feels like an extension of yourself. Every action is intuitive as its intelligent design anticipates your every movement. The new Elantra is the perfect solution to the urban jungle problem. Easy and enjoyable to drive, its agile handling and compact dimensions make parking in small spaces easy. The Comfort 1.6MPi model is fitted with all you would expect as standard from a car at this level, including daytime running lights, foglamps, a full-size spare wheel, lockable glovebox with light, front and back adjustable armrests, auxiliary power connection in central console and boot, air conditioning, timing chain rather than a belt, central remote locking with alarm, power assisted steering, electric windows, audio system with radio and CD player, mp3, USB and Aux connections, electric door mirrors, folding key, adjustable front and rear headrests, electrically opening boot, multi-function steering wheel, a host of safety features to care for you and your passengers, on-board computer, and of course Hyundai’s 5-year unlimited guarantee, 12-year anti-perforation guarantee and 24hour travel assistance. That’s quite some package, and available from €18,490. For more information, go to www.hyundai.es

otorsport is very expensive and, unfair though it may be, lots of times you are only as good as the money you have to spend on your car and now the only British rally driver with a licence to compete in the Canaries needs your support. Gil Gouveia, known to his friends as Geno, has been working on his Clio Williams car for the last eight years to make it reliable and a bit faster. The last two years have been very tough for everyone financially and Geno was unable to participate at all in 2010, for the first time since he started rallying almost two decades ago. He still has the determination to do well but he needs more money. This is where you come in, as a company or individual you can benefit from advertising on the car and on the service van which gets used daily mostly around the south of the island. Motorsport is very popular here and normally attracts in the region of 50,000 people going to watch a rally and around 15,000 go to the Tamaimo Hill climb. And of course any money spent on company advertising on a rally car is tax deductible. All events are covered by three TV channels and at least four radio stations as well as printed media. Geno will be trying to take part in three events here in the south, the Villa Adeje Rally, September 9-10, the Tamaimo Hill Climb October 1-2 and the Guia de Isora Hill Climb 5-6 November. If you want to get involved please call Geno on 637077864 or email genogouveia@hotmail.com Los C ristianos

Custom bikes

motive for buying a new Elantra! The efficient driving feature incorporated in the instrument panel teaches you to drive even more economically while the tyres with silicone diminish resistance and help to further reduce your fuel bill. Step inside the Elantra and you’ll find plenty more reasons to put this car at the top of your list! Elegant and sophisticated, only top quality materials have been used to create a stress-free and relaxing environment. Its spacious boot can carry almost any load, and the rear seat can be folded down to increase this capacity even more. Looking at the spacious interior, you would not believe that the Elantra is classed as a compact vehicle. Its generous leg space easily outpaces its main competitors.

Everything feels as though it is under control once your hands are on the leather covered steering wheel. With all controls in logical positions, and those for entertainment on the

Custom bikes parade and party September 3 in Arona. rganised by two of the custom bike groups in the south, Satanases del Sur and Lobos del Asfalto, the event is part of the Fiestas de Los Cristianos. There is no charge for joining in with the caravan which will leave the Bar Perla Negra at the Alcampo commercial centre in La Laguna at 9.30am or you can join them in Abades at the Pcan station at approximately 10.30am. There will be a stop off at Bar Custom Rider for refreshments and the party will take place in the centre of Los Cristianos with motorbike exhibitions, rock bands and much more.

Boxing

By George Reed

Iron Mike’s a bird lover! I

have something in common with the former world heavyweight champion, Mike Tyson and the Queen - we are all racing pigeon enthusiasts. My days of racing pigeons ended years ago, but the Queen, who is patron of the Royal Pigeon Association, is still competing from her pigeon loft in the grounds at Sandringham, while Tyson’s pigeon coop is in Brownsville, New York, in the ghetto where he was brought up. Both Tyson and I were 10 years old when we got involved with pigeons.

Martin Tierney writes:

It was Mike’s pigeons which caused him to engage in his first fist fights. Brought up by his mother, they had just moved to Brownsville. It was a district where the strongest survived and the weakest were walked on. “I was always getting set on”, Mike has stated. “You’d be walking along a street when a couple of big guys would stop you and steal anything you had – your sneakers, your clothes, your money. They’d take anything and then give you a whipping just for laughs. I was into raising pigeons. Still am. I love those birds. I’m really at peace when I’m with them. Anyway this particular day an older boy tried to steal one of my birds. No, to tell you the truth he ripped its head off. I was 11 at the time and had never given any thought using violence. But I just blew it. I threw everything at the guy, fists, feet, head. I became an animal and beat the living crap out of him. And do you know something? I found I loved it. Every second of it. I had found a way of letting all my frustrations out”. In later years Mike Tyson would have a meteoric rise to superstardom in professional boxing, becoming the youngest man at the age of 20 years and four months to have won the world heavyweight championship and at one time the highest paid performer in sporting history. However he has had many highs and lows in his lifetime inside and outside the ring. Tyson embarrassed the boxing world, when, in his second fight with Evander Holyfield, he bit half of his ear off and when the referee allowed the fight to continue, he bit Holyfield’s other ear. In another fight he tried to break Frans Botha’s arm during a clinch, then in another contest he dropped Orlin Norris after the bell had rung, ending the 1st round. Was Iron Mike a worthy inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame this year? I don’t believe so. A Hall of Famer must be judged, not just by the amount of belts they held, but by their achievements in the ring. Tyson may have looked dynamic against all the second rate heavyweight fighters he pulverised, but judging him on his biggest fights against elite opposition such as Holyfield and Lewis, he was a flawed fighter and was stopped. He was also laid out on the canvas by the likes of Buster Douglas, Danny Williams and Kevin McBride, and not once did he get up to win. If Tyson’s ring achievements are worthy enough to get him into the IBHF then why isn’t Naseem Hamed an inductee, for he beat the best in his weight division and was accepted as the undisputed world champion for a very long time. His ring record speaks for itself. He had 37 fights, and stopped 31 of his opponents and 16 of his contests were world title fights which is impressive by anyone’s standard. He lost only one fight and that was to the great Marco Antonio Barrera. If he’s not an inductee next year I’ll go mad and may fly over to New York and sit with Mike Tyson in his pigeon loft to calm down.

also seen them make great strides over recent seasons with rumours saying the lads have even been holding training sessions to strengthen the side, Brilliant! “When Soccer Experience started this league it was so the older generation could carry on their careers way into their twilight years without feeling any pressure from younger players on the pitch and it seems to be going down a storm. These mature men keep the over 35s playing friendly but competitive football on a weekly basis.”

s many readers will know over the past year or so Soccer Experience has been running an Over 35s league here in the south of Tenerife which is slightly different from our normal open aged leagues as it is targeted towards more experienced players. “Little did we know in the early stages of the trial season that it would progress into one of the most exciting leagues we have! We have seen some of the players flourish and find new levels that they probably didn’t know they could reach. “Each side first started out in this league with at least four players carrying generous girths, hardly healthy but these days the bellies have diminished, and we now have fit lean players throughout every side. We

have seen some remarkable comebacks, none more so than Ironcrafts, Tony and Pete from The Pub, Torviscas who both at 50+ are probably in the best shape and form in a decade. We have seen the emergence of one of all the league’s top goal keepers in big Sam also from The Pub side - remarkable to think he was never a keeper when he first started out with us. “Lee Morfitt still manages to set bench marks with his captaincy, keeping to his methods of drafting in players from all over Europe to fill his side and now with a Bulgarian connection, Café Lyte brings yet more overseas players to our field. “We cannot write about this league without mentioning Paddy O’Taffy’s though their constant moves in the transfer market and persistency have

“Good news’for the city

anta Cruz’s new councillor for sport has not S endeared herself to Tenerife football fans by insisting in one of her first big media interviews that the club’s relegation is good news for the city.

Monica Molina, a lawyer by profession, probably showed a little political inexperience in answering a question about the likely impact on the city of the embarrassing drop into Division 2B. “I think it will be great because it will mean more exposure for other sports after years of just talking about football,” said the racquet sports enthusiast, adding that the football stadium will not have to be preserved so much and can therefore be, “devoted to other uses”. The comments went down like a ton of bricks with fans, who have reminded the councillor that Tenerife and Santa Cruz’s heyday were when the side was riding high in the 1st division and reached the UEFA semi-fiThe Heliodoro could have other uses nals in the 90s.

t was to be expected with so many new Ifaces but as the pre-season rolls on the results have been mixed and the 15 new signings are going to take a while to settle.

Thrashings of Tenisca and Tijarafe in La Palma contrasted with the narrow defeats to local Tenerife outfits, At. Granadilla and CD Marino. At the final of the Teide Trophy CD Tenerife took on Real Madrid B (who play in the same league this season) at a ‘friendly’ which ended 0-0 after 90 minutes. Two players were sent off, one from each team as well as Calderon the blanquiazul manager. Madrid finally won the game on penalties and the ‘Chicharro’ trophy flew back to the Bernabeu. New signings Nico, Medina and Tarantino shone

throughout and when local youngster Omar came off the bench, his pace was blistering. Coming up is a two legged match against Canarian rivals UD Las Palmas in the new Canarian Government Trophy. The away leg at Las Palmas is on Aug 12 at 8.30pm and the home game in the Heliodoro on the 14th at 6pm. Tenerife-born Jeffren transferred from FC Barcelona to Sporting Lisbon for €3.7 million. He played for CD Tenerife at junior levels and when he signed for Barça a clause in his contract gives Tenerife 10 per cent of any future deal. The €375,000 will boost considerably the club’s muscle in the final weeks of the transfer deadline as it is obvious that we still need a couple of players that will make the difference.

QPR friendly off

A late bid by Las Palmas to bring newly-promoted Queens Park Rangers to Gran Canaria for a pre-season friendly has been scuppered by regional TV. Las Palmas had hoped to use the friendly to unveil their new-look side in front of home fans but TV chiefs decided the game was not a priority in August and pulled out of a verbal commitment to contribute the €30,000 needed to cover the cost of flying the Londoners out for a few days. The change of heart was a massive blow to Las Palmas, who had cancelled plans for a pre-season tour of the mainland to make way for the QPR friendly and have been forced to make last-minute arrangements to find a replacement. However, it is good news for Tenerife, who will now play two games against the Gran Canaria side within the space of a few days in mid-August.

arcelona’s pre-season tour of the United States went off without incident, except for a White House ban which prevented Josep Guardiola’s men from training nearby.

Guardiola turned down an offer from local Major League side DC United to use its ground for the session because he wanted to take the squad on a run through the National Mall and use the vast park area for warm-up exercises. However, the plans were scuppered by White House security agents who intervened to inform the Catalán side that congregations of more than ten people were illegal so close to the Presidential building and the players would have to move on. Guardiola took the ban well and arranged to do the exercises in a nearby gym. Midfielder Xavi Hernández said he was surprised by the intervention but understood the need for measures against terrorism in the US capital. Gallingly for Barcelona, Manchester Utd not only beat them in a friendly in Washington but were treated to a tour of the White House.

Gran Canaria loss

Going,going,gone P

remiership basketball side Gran Canaria’s fears of losing star player Jaycee Carroll to Real Madrid were duly confirmed in the summer and they will have to get used to life without the league’s top points scorer for the past two years.

The Wyoming shooting guard, nicknamed ‘Boom Boom’ for his scoring prowess, was tempted away by a lucrative deal from Real, who failed to win a trophy of any kind last year and are desperate to break Barcelona’s recent domination of the championship. On a more positive note, Gran Canaria hope to have veteran captain Sitapaha Savané back to full fitness soon, after he missed the second half of last season through a ruptured Achilles tendon, and have also persuaded up and coming centre Javi Rey to sign a new three-year contract.

Pitch death

A footballer has died in La Laguna in the latest on the pitch tragedy to hit the game here. The 26-year-old man was playing at the Francisco Peraza stadium when he collapsed and suffered violent seizures which led to a fatal heart attack after a few minutes. Ambulance staff and police fought frantically to keep him alive as he was being rushed to hospital but he was pronounced dead on arrival by doctors.

Top scorer has signed for Real Madrid

Family sources said afterwards he had no known history of illness that might have triggered the attack. The issue of on the pitch fatalities became a major talking point in Spain with the tragic death in 2007 of Spain international Antonio Puerta as he played for Sevilla against Getafe. Just over a year ago, an 18-year-old Tenerife youth collapsed and died as he played indoor football in Santa Úrsula, also in the north of the island.
