Chef, Juan Carlos Padrón of Santiago del Teide, with his brother Jonathan as sous chef, has just scooped the second prize in the prestigious Chef of the Year national competition.

The brothers own and run a small family restaurant in Los Gigantes. Juan Carlos worked first with his father and then did on-the-job training in top restaurants in Toledo, Madrid and Carcassonne as well as attending numerous courses including one in the world-famous El Bulli restaurant.

He won his place in the final in June of 2011, but it wasn’t held until the end of last month. Amongst the tempting dishes on his winning menu were stuffed mackerel cannelloni with a sauce made from homesmoked mackerel skins and sea bass with Iberian ham mayonnaise.

Juan Carlos told us regretfully that they wouldn’t be competing any more as they’d had to close for a week to be able to do so. “I think we’ve achieved something important in being runners up in the national competition, it’s very important for us,” but now it’s time to rest a little and dedicate some more time to the business.

The competition is presided over by world famous chef Martín Berasategui, but Juan Carlos has no doubt who his culinary hero is, “my father, he’s the one who showed me everything”.

Their restaurant is in Pasaje de Jacaranda, off the one-way circuit in Los Gigantes and specialises in everything from the simplest of dishes to the most avant garde, using the best they can find of fresh, mainly local produce and organic vegetables. 922 868 040.

Clinic chief arrested international beauty life

W

ith the rumour machine in overdrive concerning the position of the head of the International Beauty Life Clinic in Callao Salvaje,

Adeje, the company issued a press release to clarify the position, stating that the clinic will remain open.

Two days after the detention and questioning of

an Italian, D. T. who has headed up the team at the clinic, staff told Island Connections that they “knew nothing” about the recent police proceedings against the individual in question, but we were told most emphatically that all the staff there “are fully qualified and are registered with all the relevant colleges”. While the staff preferred not to be named or photographed, they assured us that as far as they were concerned they would be continuing to work within their individual fields and the clinic doors would remain open.

The statement issued a day later on behalf of Grupo International Beauty Life Tenerife said that the detention of the individual, “accused of four possible

crimes of falsifying documentation, ongoing fraud, practice of a profession without proper qualifications and an offence against public health, and who is out on bail, does not affect in any way the rest of the staff at the centre…who are continuing with their work with no links or connection to what has occurred”.

They also said that the clinic itself “meets all legal requirements”, and will continue to offer the range of specialisations that it has carried out up to now.

There has been, understandably, more than some consternation among the public, and Island Connections has received a number of emails and calls from different people with views and allegations concerning

the individual. More than one member of the public has been supportive of the man in question (“ver y professional, nice and attentive”) and the clinic services, while others have alleged misinformation and voiced suspicions. One reader told us, “this doctor treated me for months with laser treatment for varicose veins in my legs, and told me 10 treatments and they would be gone. I had 20 treatments and the veins are still there...I was not happy, so I never went back”.

The head of the province’s College of Medicine, Rodrigo Martín told local press that in his time as president “this is the most serious case of its kind that I can remember”. Martín revealed to the Diario de Avisos that just a few Continued on page 2

With more than 75,000 cars using the TF 2 and TF 5 connection every day, there will be a collective sigh of relief at the news that the upgrades to this stretch of motorway are almost complete.

cuts and taxes he Spanish Cabinet has a n n o u n c e d budget “adjustments” for 2012 of €27,300 million.

Part of the funds will be recovered from cuts in public spending, the elimination of some tax deductions for large companies and a partial financial amnesty for those with undeclared income in the hope that more people will come forward to pay what they owe.

Basically the intention is to get more in and pay less out.

For the moment at least there is to be no increase in indirect taxation (the Spanish VAT) IVA and IGIC in the Canaries, pensions, civil servant wages and unemployment benefits will remain the same. However, a further cut is to be made in public spending, bringing the total since the change of government to over €13,400, or 16.9 per cent and the tax on tobacco is to increase.

These changes are in addition to the increase in basic income tax and other cuts which were announced in December. The Ministries hardest hit are the Foreign Office

The highest cut in the social ser vices budget will come from the grant currently given under the Ley de Dependencia (dependence law) which gave funds to those sick or physically and mentally challenged patients who need full or part time carers.

The subsidy of 50 per cent of the cost of flights is given to residents in respect of the Islands’ distance from the rest of Spain and has never been, confirmed Soria, “a privilege” but a necessity.

BritishConsulate

Madrid meeting on equality

A family affair!

(L-R) Marcelina, Gordon, Maria, Ambassador Paxman and Carmen

T

he crème de la crème of local British society were there – and a few more be-

sides.

On a delightful March afternoon, a year after her arrival, the British Ambassador to Spain Mr Giles Paxman formally introduced Maria Leng as the British Consul in the Canary Islands. Both the Ambassador and Maria delivered bilingual speeches to the assembled guests, which included Canarian representatives and members of the local English and Spanish-speaking press. They spoke of the work of the Consulate, the gratitude to British volunteers and the work they do in parallel with that of consular staff and how important that is. The Ambassador referred to Age Concern, the Royal British Legion, the Lions, the Living Room and Friends of Tenerife, many of whom were represented at the event. He said, “The work that you do is much appreciated, and it makes a huge difference to the British community and British visitors to these islands. This spirit of voluntary service and a deep and

genuine concern for each others’ welfare stands out in the British community…many, many British tourists and residents owe you a huge debt of gratitude and I would like to take this opportunity to add my own heartfelt thanks and those of the British government”.

Both in his general address and speaking to the press afterwards the Ambassador referred to the general push by the Embassy to streamline the work of consuls all over Spain and make them more relevant to their clientele. And given the huge numbers of British residents here as well as those who

come on holiday every year from the UK the British Consulate here is one of the busiest – dealing with over 2,000 individual cases in 2011 alone. There had been some local criticism of the centralisation of the consulate phone numbers but according to the Ambassador the staff surveyed calls received before the changeover, and throughout Spain up to 50 per cent of the phone queries were not relevant to consular business, and thus, in effect were keeping consular staff from doing the other very essential work they needed to. Thus there are now fixed hours for specific services so that more can be done and more efficiently by what is a highly professional staff.

On the current political row over oil drilling off the Canarian coast the Ambassador was unwilling to be drawn in but he did say that he didn’t really think that drilling 60 miles off the islands would affect tourist numbers, stating that what the British tourists don’t see he doesn’t tend to worry about.

After the formalities it was time for nibbles and photographs, and both Maria’s Scottish father and Galician mother were in attendance with other family members. She is already very much a part of the wider ex-pat family in the Canary Islands and along with her dedicated staff in the consular office is already making a difference.

T

he director of the Canarian Equality Institute, ICI), Elena Máñez, was in Madrid at the end of March to meet with the central government delegate on domestic violence, Blanca Hernández and the national equal opportunities director, Carmen Plaza.

Máñez was in Madrid to explore the main action plan the government has in the area of combating domestic violence and also to look at how levels of inter-administrative cooperation can be improved to make optimum use of resources. The Canarian representative also explained that in the Canary Islands there are streamlined services for women at risk as well

as individual attention on offer, and that Cabildos are already working together to combine their services. The latter has a dual purpose in that it makes better use of resources but also goes some way towards guaranteeing that less women in danger get overlooked through no fault of their own.

Máñez also requested that within the plans of the central government on domestic violence the needs of the children of victims be properly considered and that funding to combat domestic violence at regional level continues to occupy an important place in national budgetary plans.

In her meeting with Carmen Plaza, Máñez was asked to for ward more information on the Canarian Strategic Equality Action Plan, which works to introduce “real and effective equality in political, economic, cultural and social life” in the Canary Islands.

Tenerife tourism

Renovate or die T

he renovated tourism strategy for the island was presented with flair at the Magma conference centre in Adeje.

Far from the cynically expected ‘same-old, same-old’ politicking and rehash, the strategy was delivered concisely and clearly by well-chosen speakers from the realms of the various businesses who will be actively involved in pursuing the new policies and with the exception of the introductory speeches and Carlos Alonso, Tenerife’s tourism councillor, who acted as presenter, there was hardly a politician in sight – except in the audience.

As the host council, Adeje was well represented and mayor José Miguel Rodriguez Fraga gave some of the opening remarks. Much was made of the importance of the island tourism for employment and the economy. The introduction was wound up by the island President, Ricardo Melchior, who in his usual practical way

remarked, “there are no more resources, so we just have to work harder and integrate more. Work together”. He was optimistic overall and finished with the rousing comment, “together we will have the success that the island needs.”

Carlos Alonso, the island councillor for tourism, explained that they had looked at what kind of destination we want in the future and from that vision had developed the renovated strategy for tourism. The desirable end result will be more competitive and complete and will be one that will encourage people to spend more money on the island.

Covering 11 main areas, the renovation is an update of the policy developed for 2008-15, and given the dramatic change in circumstances since that pre-crisis year, a necessar y one. The renovation of tourism spaces, whether it be the updating of hotels, tidying or creating parks or new seaside street furniture was the opening topic and underlined the

necessity of taking tourism into account in every activity that is developed on the island. The environment and the need for its protection were also underlined as an important aspect of an island where 50 per cent of the territory is protected.

Improving the quality of the tourism offer was next on the

list and this time the emphasis was on helping the private sector to develop tourism products, revitalising the traditional tourism segments in the island and differentiating the kinds of holiday on offer here. The emphasis was firmly placed on the necessity of the leadership of the business world. Improv-

ing connectivity both by air and sea was number three, with the welcome news that Fred Olsen cruise lines will start operating here soon. Cruise traffic is bringing in an average of €85 million a year to the island when all the income is totalled – excursions, refuelling, shopping and eating out, etc. and any

development of this business has to be welcome. The tourist board will be concentrating on more connections in particular with France, Italy and Russia which they see as major areas for potential development. The need for promotion to be more efficient and help to differentiate the island from similar offers in the market was discussed together with the necessity for more communication between public and private enterprise and between the different sectors.

New technology and its increasing impor tance in the tourism world was stressed with the move towards more people checking online before they book a holiday, and deciding where they will go once they get there by looking at the websites of everything they find on offer before they come. The need

CanaryIslands

ISLAND CONNECTIONS :: EDITION 666 :: 06/04/2012 - 19/04/2012

to have a top quality level of information, equal and homogenised across the board was underlined and work is underway with the intention of making the official web of Tenerife, webtenerife.com, one of the top destination websites.

More widespread knowledge of the strategic information is important to improve planning capability. Where people come from, how they get here, what they want/ need once they arrive, what they like or don’t like etc.

On innovation, par ticular importance was given to the new volcanic tourism that is being developed, with five new routes all over the island proving popular. Tenerife Stream, which encourages online participation by the sector is another important step forward.

Better cooperation and coordination of the sector’s agents in the administration of the destination was mentioned with particular emphasis, at least in the presentation, of communication by road where the roadside landscaping plans were revealed.

Around 110,000 tourists use the roads of the island every day and on some stretches such as the road to Masca

or Vilaflor, tourists are responsible for 70 per cent of the road use.

The society needs to be much more involved and aware of what tourism means to the island and information is essential so that they can understand and value its impor tance. In the same way that, as in any holiday destination, it is people who make the difference and their formation and preparation is crucial in improving the service and relationship with the tourists. Particular emphasis was placed on the learning of a second language.

Finally the image of the island was put forward for renewal, an image that according to Alonso needs to be, “shared by all to defend a strong brand”. If we think of the island, or how the average tourist thinks of the island, how many images are in our mind? There needs to be a strong single image that will attract our tourists that sticks in their minds, evoking sentiments and reasons for them to book a holiday here and return, time and time again.

The renewed strategy seems innovative, fresh and dare we say it, might even be effective if put into place.

Immigrant figure dispute non-eu workerS

A

war of words has broken out once more over the true number of immigrant workers arriving in the Canaries.

Canarian president Paulino Rivero said recently in a Parliamentary debate that cutting unemployment here was a difficult task rendered even tougher by the fact that a large number of non-EU immigrants were given permits by Madrid to live and work in the islands last year, a figure which cancelled out the progress made on the

job creation front. “we created 6,000 jobs in 2011 but due to the 20,000 immigrants who arrived during the year, the jobless figure rose by 14,000”said Rivero.

However, the Spanish government’s most senior official in the Canaries issued a statement a few days later saying that the true number of permits to non-EU nationals in 2011 was just 1579. María del Carmen Hernández Bento said it was wrong to associate the immigrants with an increase in

unemployment. “All those who arrived had contracts for work, which was a prerequisite for the permit, so they cannot be accused of being the problem” she insisted.

Canarian government sources admitted there may have been some confusion as to whether the figure given by Rivero covered all foreigners and not just non-EU nationals.

Canaries downgraded? iberia eXPreSS

P

lans by Spain’s biggest airline, Iberia, to use its new low-cost subsidiary for fl ights to the Canaries have been criticised here as an indication that it attaches less importance than it should to the routes.

According to company sources, the subsidiary will operate Iberia’s current flights to islands such as Lanzarote and

Fuerteventura as of the summer and then eventually take over those to Tenerife and Gran Canaria also, probably within two years. The intentions were made known to the regional government in advance of the launch of Iberia Express on 25 March.

The airline says using the new subsidiary will benefit the Canaries given that

will have greater flexibility to add more flights or open new routes to the mainland and even European cities direct from the Canaries. However, many here feel that the decision effectively means that the Canaries are downgraded to the second division in Iberia’s overall scheme of things and, if the low-cost venture fails, the routes could be at risk.

lthough seismic activity on the island of El Hierro has all but disappeared, bans on swimming, fi shing and visiting coastal areas are slow to follow.

The UME emergency military force pulled out nearly a month ago, leaving a skeleton staff of ten soldiers to maintain and ser vice the emergency facility set up in case of large scale evacuation. Red alert status has dropped to yellow as seismic movements peter out.

Only very occasional bubbling can be seen on the surface and the turquoise stain in the Atlantic that has stretched for miles offshore since the start of the eruptions has now dispersed.

The Cabildo’s relatively recent decision to promote the island as a volcano-watching destination, with Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia paving the way with their royal visit, came far too late. Whilst this was unfortunate timing, we may suppose the islanders are now welcoming the return of normal, scare-free life.

However, this is far from the truth, with both island and regional authorities being very slow to lift restrictions imposed during the height of the activity and its accompanying press hype. Anyone planning to visit El Hierro is very likely to be put off by restrictions still in place. As a result, tourism is still virtually non existent on the island and the urgently needed income from would-be visitors

La Graciosa doctor in El Mundo

A The islanders are eager to welcome back tourists

is spent at the alternative destinations they choose.

In an attempt to redress the balance and encourage visitors back, local town councils have given up waiting for help from above and are taking matters into their own hands. El Pinar’s town council has commissioned an analysis of the municipality’s coastal waters, beaches and drinking water from the department of public health.

“The absence of any new guidance from PEVOLCA was impossible to tolerate any longer. The advice still current was that it was ‘inadvisable’ to swim. The premise that it was neither prohibited or permitted was doing nothing to normalise life in the municipality, or on the island as a whole”, complained councillors in a recent press release.

PEVOLCA, or to give it its full name, the Plan de Protección Civil por Riesgo Volcánico de la Comunidad Autonoma de Canarias ( Canarian Au-

tonomous Community Civil Protection Plan for Volcanic Risk) is obviously as unwieldy an organisation as the name suggests.

Public Health inspectors have now issued their non PEVOLCA repor t, happily confirming what ever yone suspected: there is no danger.

As the report clearly states, “the drinking water supply in the municipality of El Pinar is appropriate for public consumption and the bathing zones on the municipality’s coast are appropriate for bathing and swimming. No further safety or sanitary measures are required”.

This should make an enormous dif ference to the island.

El Pinar’s coast, with the little fishing and dive port of La Restinga and the Mar de Las Calmas, enjoys the best weather and was the hub of the island’s beach and sea tourism until the eruptions escalated in September of last year.

PRESENTS:

veteran doctor on the tiny island of La Graciosa off Lanzarote has merited a big feature in one of Spain’s top-selling dailies.

Dr Javier Moreno is celebrating his 20th year on La Graciosa and his work in difficult, but vastly improved, conditions has led him to become something of a minor celebrity across the

country following the publication of the story. “I decided to change my lifestyle many years ago and came to Lanzarote initially” explained the 58-yearold from Madrid. He became fascinated with La Graciosa, which he could see on visits to the north of Lanzarote, and decided there and then that it was the definitive place for him, although it took several years for the vacancy to arise.

healthcare provision on the tiny island, which measures just 29 square kilometres and has a population of only 650, which triples in summer. Moreno can be seen frequently accompanying patients across to what for him has become the mainland on much more comfortable ferries. His love for the island is infectious, he admits, given that his brother has also bought a house on La Graciosa and, in summer, around 37 family members and friends regularly converge on his adored outpost for their holidays.

Allotment plan under way Fruit and veg

L

a Orotava’s initiative to encourage people to grow their own fruit and vegetables on individual allotments has attracted interest from 18 local residents.

The allotments, on an 800 square metre plot owned by the council in the Doña Chana Park, is the town’s first ever attempt to get the population involved in a grow-your-own scheme and the results of the selection procedure have turned out to be rather surprising. Unlike Britain, where allotments tend to be an older male preser ve, the bulk of the successful candidates in La Orotava are women aged between 35 and 55.

40 people expressed interest initially but when it came to selecting the candidates the number had dropped to 27, from which the 18 successful Latest News >>

Plans are in the pipeline to add a second plot for allotment use before the summer.

Dolly mixture

The use of explosives to kill and catch fish on the Tenerife coast has sparked an investigation by the authorities.

The probe, which is being led by the Civil Guard’s Nature Protection Unit (Seprona), was ordered after dozens of dead fish were found floating on the sea surface at Tabaiba, south of Santa Cruz. Locals say they heard loud detonations in the early hours of the morning, hours before the fish were discovered at a rocky cove in the area. The dead fish were taken for examination by marine biologists to determine the exact cause of death, but everything points to the use of small amounts of explosives underwater.

Explosive fishing methods, of the type seen in the film Crocodile Dundee where Paul Hogan tosses dynamite into a river, are the quickest and easiest way of catching fish but are banned by law due to the damage they cause to surrounding sea life and ecosystems.

The wife of Canarian president Paulino Rivero could face charges over the persistent bullying of a Santa Cruz council employee.

The first movements were detected during classes on March 19th when everyone felt shifts in the structure of the centre. After an evacuation the authorities were informed. Following an inspection the building was deemed safe and classes resumed, until a week later when the similar movements were felt. There are 520 pupils in the school.

RIP

1946 - 2012

Susan Duddy sadly passed away on Friday March 2nd, with her family at her side.

Although she had been ill with cancer for more then six years her death was unexpected and therefore a shock for everyone.

Sue was a Chelsea girl, and came to Tenerife in 1974 with her husband Michael. Together they ventured into the bar business, perhaps best remembered by long time residents will be The Royal Coach, where Michael had his video exchange and organised Christmas dinners.

Sue went on to work in the travel industry, firstly with Cosmos in their office, where she soon established herself as a well respected professional and then moving onto other well known tour operators.

When her son Michael was born she took some time out to return working with the cruise ships at the harbour for Airtours. She knew a lot of people and was well loved by all. Evidence of this could be observed at her funeral which was extremely well attended by the beautiful displays of flowers. Sue was hard working and caring, she loved to talk and had a great sense of humour; she will be deeply missed, especially by her husband Michael, son Michael, and sister Linda.

us company Titsa has changed back the time of its popular daily service from Costa Adeje to Mt Teide, much the relief of many regular walkers The bus company had, for reasons unknown, changed the times of departure from El Portillo and the Parador to a much earlier time, leaving those from South Tenerife using public transport at a total loss.

One regular walker, Barbara James, told us, “From my first visit (in 1991) the timetable of the 342 (and the 348 from Puerto de la Cruz) had been perfect for a truly splendid day out. Both buses started their journey at 9am and left the Parador del Teide at 4pm for their respective destinations.

However recently new timetables have been issued and one change, that will severely affect visitors in the south of the islands, is catastrophic.

With an inconsistency that truly beggars belief, the return journey of the 348 Puerto bus remains the same, but visitors Los Rodeos >>

35 years on

The anniversary of the deadliest accident in aviation history was marked recently in Tenerife. A run-

away collision in dense fog between two Boeing 747s left 583 people dead at Los Rodeos (now Tenerife North) Airport on 27 March 1977. Tenerife was an unscheduled stop for both aircraft, which had been diverted to the small airport after a bomb incident at Las Palmas.

in the south are penalised because now the 342 starts its return journey to Las Américas from El Portillo at 1pm and from the Parador at 1.30pm.”

Martin Zweng added his voice to the row. “As a half-

year resident of Tenerife for the last 12 years and an avid walker on the island I am extremely disappointed with the decision of Titsa to change the times of its Teide bus number 342. By shortening the amount of time before the 342 does a

turn-around and begins its journey back to the coast it has made it impossible for walkers to have any time to complete most of the walks in the area. The choice now for walkers is not to do the walks at all or to rent a car and drive

Walkers from South Tenerife can now enjoy a few hours in Las Cañadas before catching the bus home

to the Cañadas for the day, which just adds to the many cars and tourist buses that already contaminate the area with their exhausts.”

Well, it would seem that the well-founded complaints of Barbara and Martin, and we believe many others who contacted the Titsa of fices directly and filled out complaint forms, had the desired effect, and now the decision has been more or less reversed. The 342 bus now departs La Caleta at 9am, and the station in Las Américas at 9.15am before heading to Los Cristianos, from where the departure time has now been modified to 9.30am To give passengers the chance to spend a few hours longer up at Teide, the bus now returns at 3.15pm from the restaurants at El Portillo, stopping at the cable car (3.40pm) and the Parador hotel (4pm) on the way back to Adeje.

news in Brief >>

elSauZal SwitcheS off northern town el sauzal’s money and energysaving drive continues with a mini switch-off of public lighting.

Coinciding with the clock change on 25 March, the local corporation’s technical office decided to pull the plug on a number of strategic points, including the giant lights on the roundabouts on the main roads into and out of the town and a number of residential developments. The switchoff is being operated in tandem with recent changes to light fittings in several spots in the centre and outlying districts as far up as Ravelo, where low-energy bulbs are now in place. El Sauzal says it hopes to save nearly 40,000 kilowatt hours per year with the changes but insists they do not compromise safety.

€6,000 for ignoring warningS

‘Reckless charge’ legislation in the

T

he ongoing debate as to whether reckless tourists should be held fi nancially liable for the deployment of emergency services to rescue them has stepped up a notch with the news, reported in local media, that the Canarian government is drawing up legislation to enable it to charge for the rescues.

Although the focus appears to be on high-risk sports such as hangliding, climbing and surfing, where accidents generate multiple call-outs every month, the wording of the proposed legislation could well open the door to its application to non-sporting activities also, including hiking.

Every year in the Canaries hundreds of foreign holidaymakers have to be rescued, in many cases by helicopter, after getting lost or suffering injury while out walking in hills, mountains and ravines, with Mt Teide’s notorious slopes

clampdown justified >> The clampdown coincided with the campaign by disability groups

Selfish driver campaign

S Many hangliders take to the skies with poor knowledge of the winds

accounting for a considerable proportion of the emergencies.

According to the Diario de Avisos newspaper, which says it has seen a draft of the proposed law, the authorities will be entitled to charge up to €6,000 by way of recovery of costs if the emergency ser vices are called out to assist or rescue a person who has ignored safety warnings/recommendations

or is not properly equipped, including physically, to undertake the leisure or sporting activity which results in the mishap. Coinciding with the reports, a well-known Tenerife hanglider said that nearly 90 per cent of serious accidents suf fered in the spor t here involve foreigners who take to the skies with poor knowledge of the winds.

anta Cruz’s war on drivers who show disregard for pedestrians and the disabled netted nearly 170 culprits in the fi rst week of its recent crackdown on illegal parking.

City police dished out 167 fines to drivers who parked on zebra crossings or footpaths for their own convenience but preventing pedestrians from passing. Coinciding with the campaign by disabled groups to highlight their accessibility problems with leaflets bearing the message “You’ve taken my

space, take my disability too”, also targeted were drivers occupying disabled parking spots outside public buildings and shops.

Mobility councillor Carmen Delia Gonzalez said the clampdown was fully justified to raise awareness of the problems selfish drivers pose for a range of people, from mothers with pushchairs to wheelchair users, who risk injury when they are forced to share the road with vehicles because their way is blocked.

arona council was at the centre of a health and safety row recently after it ordered the fumigation of a children’s play area in valle san Lorenzo.

The new head of the spanish police in Tenerife knows a lot about the country affectionately known as the “eighth canary island”.

a Tenerife car burglar’s unvaried routines made it easy for civil guard officers to nab him in the act.

Fumigation row

Pressure from parents of youngsters using the playground prompted the council to send in a team with insecticides, disinfectants and rat poison to make the area more hygienic but the well-meaning gesture has landed it in more trouble with residents after it emerged that no safety measures were taken to prevent the park from being used immediately afterwards. furious locals say only a couple of small notices were taped to a wall indicating that fumigation had been carried out. concerned residents called the police to ask for the park to be cordoned off to prevent children from entering and coming into contact with the highly toxic products. José mena, an opposition councillor in arona, said the town hall had been grossly negligent and irresponsible and only the actions of parents had alerted a possible tragedy.

Caracas past

although José antonio rodríguez, who is 61, arrives from his most recent posting in the northern region of navarra, his previous job was thousands of miles away in venezuela as the senior policeman at the Spanish embassy in caracas. the job is one of the most sought-after foreign postings for officers, due to its massive salary which recent media reports put at over €15,000 a month. the new head of the force in tenerife spent five years in venezuela, which has a very large community of ex-pat canarians who emigrated decades ago from these shores. however, the caracas posting is far from a caribbean holiday due to the high crime levels in the city and the need to monitor the activities of the many basque terrorists who are known to be living there.

the la laguna man was arrested as he tried to break into a parked car at almost exactly the same time and on the same day of the week that other vehicles in the area had been broken into in previous weeks. officers sat in unmarked cars on the road in the la campana industrial estate in Santa cruz first thing on a monday morning and waited to see if the burglar was a creature of habit. their patience was rewarded when the man, a local drug user, arrived and promptly smashed a rear window of an interesting-looking car. he confessed to the other break-ins immediately and took officers to the spot where he had dumped items he could not fence.

T

he president of the South Tenerife Rural Development association visited land in Santiago del Teide recently to see the evolution of a new planting experiment. Under the plan growers have sown kiwi,

raspberry and redcurrant plants on higher ground in the borough to see if they will thrive. The president, Esteban González González, was accompanied by the local agricultural and development councillors, Noelia

It is hoped that if successful the new plants would complement the traditional agricultural offering of the borough, which includes almonds and figs, as well as the grapes that make the local wines. There would also be interest in similar plantings in other boroughs in the south if it was considered potentially viable.

E

think you work hard at the gym? think ag

ver wanted to try a detox and exercise programme? ever wondered how much your body can change in just three weeks? ever thought all the promises of inch loss in such a short space of time are a load of rubbish?

Stuck in a diet and exercise rut, we were very curious as to just what could be done on one of these programmes, and so when we heard through the grapevine from some very satisfied customers about the 21-Day Body Transformation Programme we decided to team up with the lovely Judith at Origins Wellness Tenerife and see what can really be achieved in just three weeks. Both myself and our art director, Mariusz, signed up for the programme, and while we were both under the impression that our normal diets were pretty virtuous, we recognised our weaknesses: mine, coffee and his sugar. But we were ready and willing to experiment, and if that meant dramatically changing our diets and taking part in vigorous training sessions, bring it on!

1.

how doeS it WoRK?

2. following THe dieT

“it’s not about scales,” insists Judith at our introductory seminar – great news, as i tipped the scales at cough splutter kilos that morning (my pyjamas were pretty heavy cotton in my defence).

Instead, the distinction between muscle and fat is highlighted, and out comes the tape to measure various parts of our bodies – upper arms, shoulders, chest, waist, hips, bum, thighs, etc. No going back now as the measurements are recorded and we are comforted by the reassurance that these evil little numbers should be smaller in 21 days’ time.

Judith then hands us an inoffensivelooking document, outlining the rules of the programme and including the all-important list of what is off the menu for the next three weeks. Our faces fall as we read down the page: it’s out with caffeine, alcohol, sugar, wheat, grains, dairy and processed food. This gives our bodies some much-needed time off from all the artificial stimulants and hard-todigest products we so often overload ourselves with, and should, in theory, help it to focus on burning fat instead. “You will probably have withdrawal symptoms as you eliminate toxins,” warns Judith, “tiredness, mood swings, headaches etc.” Better warn family and office colleagues then…

“What does that leave to eat?” I hear you ask – we asked it, too. Well, basically it means that all fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, lean meat, eggs, pulses, nuts and fruit teas are fine. You can also eat quinoa or brown rice in small amounts,

For me breakfast was by far the biggest change, and the hardest to get used to – until i found a divine german bakery selling delicious spelt bread (which is allowed) and goats’ milk yoghurt.

Firstly because, carb queen that I am, like many people breakfast=coffee and toast for me, almost without thinking.

Or maybe muesli with milk, even. Instead on the diet it is eggs of any shape and size, including banana and cinnamon omelette (try it, you’ll be surprised). Fresh fruit juices or smoothies with almond or oat milk, or fresh fruit with natural goats’ yogurt and honey all make for a great start to the day, and I find that

goats’ milk and yoghurts and raw oats. We are instructed to drink three litres of water a day, and to get as much sleep as possible – preferably in bed by 10.30pm, or, if that is not possible, incorporating a nap of at least an hour during the day. And so, list in hand of what can and can’t be eaten, it’s off for a massive shop and some heavy-duty meal planning.

Helpfully, we are also given some delicious-sounding recipes like Thai green curry, turkey pizza and prawn and rocket salad to inspire and encourage us. And it’s only three weeks, how hard can it be, right?

before long I don’t miss my morning coffee (the mid-morning coffee is a different story).

Mid-morning and afternoon snacks included fresh fruit, raisins, raw vegetables with hummus or nuts. And for lunch and dinner anything was possible as long as it was fresh and nutritious, and the best bit, no weighing ingredients for that measly 120g of meat or fish. So we could (and did) fill our plates high with stir fries, huge salads, fresh fish, lean meat, sweet potato wedges, quinoa and in my case, Quorn (vegetarian meat substitute).

Week two was easier. After hitting my personal wall of tiredness on day 9, I emerged with some refreshing newfound energy, a stark contrast to the exhaustion of previous days. The diet soon became second nature – knowing what to go for in shops and walking straight past the endless amount of processed rubbish in pretty packaging that brings no nutritional value whatsoever.

3. Training

The diet is one part of the attack on the body.

The other, of course, is the exercise.

Three times a week, for three weeks, while most of you were still in bed, we squatted, lunged, bearcrawled, scorpioned and tricep-dipped our way through 50-minute training sessions in Callao Salvaje under Judith’s watchful instruction. Short bursts of 30-second intervals doing the simplest kinds of exercises that really can be done anywhere, but keeping ourselves moving the whole time, left us, frankly, exhausted at the end of the sessions, which increased in intensity as our fitness levels rose. It was a

Sideeffects

As your body releases toxins and starts to rely on itself instead of artificial stimulants, there is bound to be a period of readjustment.

Obviously a lot has to do with each person’s lifestyle and the state of their diet and exercise programme beforehand – additional factors (stress at work, running around after small children or working far too many hours) also play a hand in how hard it is to follow such a dramatic change, at least during the first few days.

During the first week of the programme we experienced headaches, tiredness and difficulties in concentration and there was at least one occasion when a little voice did in my head did whisper ‘why are you doing this?’ “People who are used to a lot of

great lesson in how you really don’t need expensive gym memberships and the latest equipment, only to leave an hour later barely having broken into a sweat.

These training sessions, coupled with a fantastic amount of whole body stretching and some short easyto-follow circuits that can be done at home via the online community attack your body on a different level, burning fat and changing your shape (at least we hoped so). The training was, from day one, very enjoyable, and we felt instantly better after each session has finished, however hard it might have been to have got up and out of the house before 7am.

stimulants; coffee, sugar, etc tend to suffer more when these things are removed from the diet,” says Judith,”…and you two have been really tired.” (Read: you two must have been ingesting a lot of stimulants). Were we?? We think back…well, about three or four coffees a day, something sweet almost every day. Logical, therefore, that our bodies were wondering what on earth was going on. But from the second week that all changed, and we felt considerably better.

5. The results: After our final training session and three weeks on the diet, out came the dreaded measuring tape, and we were measured in exactly the same places as at the start shoulders, chest, waist, hips, bum, thighs, upper arms. Mariusz lost a total of 34 centimetres, and I fininished 30 centimetres smaller than when I started.

Great results, that left me wondering what they would have been if I had forced myself to do the circuits more often at home… And while the emphasis was never on what the scales said, it’s

worth mentioning that Mariusz lost an impressive 4.5 kilos and I was 1.5 kilos lighter than when I started. It has to be said that neither of us was overweight to begin with – we have seen cases of people who were overweight when they joined the programme, who experienced almost miraculous results in both weight lost and body fat reduction.

6. After the programme: special feature

In all honesty the main thing that we came away with was a greater desire to do more exercise and a heightened awareness of the importance of nutrition.

The coffee and cake doesn’t have to be forbidden, just not every day, and not in place of the fresh, nutritious food that gives us the fuel we need to function properly. When you are forced to switch the autopilot button off when it comes to preparing your food for three weeks, you really do see how limited our diets tend to be – when you’re told to make a salad with at least ten ingredients, you open up a whole new spectrum for different combinations of tastes and textures. It’s a learning process. We prided ourselves on reasonably healthy eating beforehand, but the improvement has been significant.

So do we feel better at the end of the 21 days?

Absolutely. Are we more toned? Yes. Have we changed our eating habits for the better?

Yes. Have we understood the importance of a correct exercise programme? Definitely. Have we stopped wanting coffee and cake for the rest of our lives? Not a chance. Come on, it’s a 21-day programme, not a complete frontal lobotomy… (But for the record, we both signed up for another four weeks of training…)

One of the teenagers was struck on the head by a bottle during the incident. However, the council swiftly denied speculation that an organised gang of troublemakers had targeted the area in search of victims.

Mourning Doves

For the birds!

T

he president of the Gran Canaria Cabildo, José Miguel Bravo de Laguna joined the insular environmental councillor María del Mar Arévalo for the release of a number of Mourning Doves, a species that had been extinct on the island since the 19th century.

The Las Palmas de Gran Canaria council has just announced an increase in the number of places for afterschool activities in public education centres.

According to the education councillor Christian Santana funding is going to the school of music, which has been unable to increase the number of new students since 2010, but will now be integrated into the public after-school programme. Other courses on offer include classes in English, extra course work, basketball, indoor football, theatre, fine art, games and other physical activities.

Overall the number of places is increasing from 1,760 during the last academic year to 2,300 for this one.

Island’s image tarnished he recent deaths of two cyclists on holiday in Gran Canaria have done little to boost the island’s reputation as a safe destination for cycling vacations.

Both riders were killed in collisions with buses in the south of the island within the space of a few weeks, with the second death particularly controversial given that the driver is said to have alleged initially that the Austrian victim was riding in the wrong direction but the evidence subsequently

proved other wise, according to local media. Two passengers on the bus had to be treated for shock in a Maspalomas health centre after witnessing the horrific collision on the GC-500 road which killed the 51-year-old rider instantly. A month or so earlier, a bus from the same company was involved in a fatal accident that killed another tourist in a tunnel on the road into Mogán.

Three years of low interest rates – three more to come?

By Bill Blevins, Financial Correspondent, Blevins Franks

W

hen the Bank of England voted to keep interest rates on hold at their March monetary policy meeting, it marked three years since the rate was reduced to the historical low of 0.5 per cent and there is still no light at the end of the tunnel for savers.

Savers will be very disheartened to hear that the respected economics consultancy firm Capital Economics have warned that interest rates will probably remain at record lows for another three years.

Vicky Redwood, the consultancy’s chief UK economist said that the combination of prolonged fiscal consolidation,

sluggish economy recover y and weak bank lending could mean that the Bank of England (BoE) has to keep rates at 0.5 per cent until 2015.

“We would not be surprised if interest rates stayed at their current level for another three years and even in sticking at these low levels it may not be enough to generate a strong recovery, especially with higher bank funding costs prompting a rise in some mortgage rates.”

Redwood even suggested that official rates could potentially fall even further to 0.25 per cent.

When the interest was first cut to 0.5 per cent in March 2009 few would have expected the rate to be unchanged three years later. The expectation then in the City was that the move would be short-lived and rates would start rising in early

2010 and to be back at 3 per cent by 2012. In contrast to this view, Capital Economics said in June 2009 that they thought interest rates could be kept at record lows for as long as five years.

Savers and retirees

Savers have suffered due to ongoing low interest rates

Savers and retired people have, many consider unfairly, been the ones who suffer most from the Bank’s stimulus measures.

The UK campaign group Save our Savers has complained that the low interest rate have placed a “grossly unfair and disproportionate burden” on savers and retirees”. Market Analysts at BGC Partners

described savers as being “crushed”. The 0.5 per cent interest rate has cost them £76

billion over the last three years when compared with the previous three years which had higher interest rates. BoE governor Mervyn King, has said he understands the problems facing savers and is sympathetic, but insists there is nothing he can do to help as the measures are necessary to help the economy.

Europe The European Central Bank (ECB) also left its interest rate unchanged at one per cent at its March meeting.

The ECB is now expecting the Eurozone economy to shrink by 0.1 per cent this

15

year. While analysts do not expect the key rates to be cut any further for the time being, there is not really any hope that interest rates will go up any time soon.

Savers need to consider the impact of taxation and inflation on their already negligible returns. Many are earning negative real returns which means the spending power of their savings is being weakened.

This is particularly dangerous for retired people who do not have new capital coming in.

If you would like to consider your options for income or capital growth, and have peace of mind that your investment strategy has the objectives of keeping pace with inflation and not losing any more income to tax than you have to, speak to an experienced wealth manager such as Blevins Franks.

However, in reality, it is simply a way for the town hall to know how many people live in their area, without entering into investigations about a person’s of ficial residence status or financial affairs. In addition, the information provided at registration is confidential and protected by data protection laws.

“everything iS PoiSon, the difference iS in the doSe”

I

f you and your loved one have been fighting a lot recently, and they suddenly offer to make you a cup of tea after a visit to Pirámides de Güímar, beware: they might have picked up some potentially lethal information at the Jardín Secreto, a fabulous new collection of 70 of the most poisonous plants on the planet.

Speaking to those at the launch, owner of Pirámides de Güímar, Fred Olsen, talked of his dream of a poison garden being realised, and shed a little light as to where the inspiration for the poison garden came from. “Over 50 years ago we knew a very important exporter of tomatoes and bananas, who came to live in the Canaries with six months to live after being gassed during the war. In fact, he lived to be 84 years old.

“And it was he who told my wife ‘If you don’t like your mother in law, give her rhubarb with pineapple.’“ From there stemmed the passion and intrigue for poisonous plants and the desire to create the poisonous garden.

The man given the honour of cutting the tape and officially opening the garden was renowned local pharmacist and Professor Emeritus in Botany, Wolfredo Wildpret, who gave an impassioned talk on the ignorance of today’s urbanite society, even regarding the amount of highly toxic plants

that grow in the wild here in the Canaries. He highlighted examples such as poinsettia, oleander and the endemic Cardón, and went on to remind us of the irony that all or most toxic plants are, in small doses, medicinal, and that the marvel of nature often sees the antidote to the poisonous plant grow next to or even within it – Cardón being a case in point (also think of stinging nettle and dock leaves).

The Jardín Secreto (Secret Garden) offers a fascinating

insight, not to mention some surprising appearances (did you know the Calla Lily was poisonous?!) into these 70 toxic plants.

Each plant has its name plaque, which indicates the level of toxicity (blue: low, red: very high), and there is an ironic coffin stood next to a poem highlighting the perils of not giving these harmlesslooking plants the respect they deserve. Needless to say the tobacco plant was there with its red warning…

EDITION 666 :: 06/04/2012 - 19/04/2012 :: ISLAND CONNECTIONS

When the then mainly fishing port was still only a fledgling tourist area, a few people had the vision of what it could and would be, and invested their time and energy in making their businesses and the area as successful and welcoming as possible, Bar El Cine’s owner, Carlos Magdalena, was one of those people.

Offering the freshest of produce on a choice and tasty menu, the excellent quality/ price ratio of the food on offer, coupled with the delightful atmosphere and the superfriendly service ensure that this bijou bar/restaurant continues to have queues of people waiting for tables at peak times every day of the week.

They concentrate on the freshest of fish, shellfish, and vegetables purchased from local fishermen and farmers, ensuring the best quality available of prime material, simply and healthily prepared and served in traditional Canarian ways. Expect to find grilled hake fillets, herring, mackerel and cuttle fish and quite possibly the best grilled sardines on the island. Depending on the time of year there is always an additional choice of a seasonal fresh fish, octopus, squid, grilled giant prawns or for non fish lovers, an ample platter of fried chicken, with your choice of Canarian wrinkled potatoes and home-made spicy or herby mojo sauce, chips and salad.

The bodega holds a choice selection of Spanish and Canarian wines to accompany your meal, Dorada and Carlsberg beers, spa waters and soft drinks.

Now enjoying their 25th anniversary year Bar El Cine

continues with the same enthusiasm and the same quality and standard of ser vice, and as a way of celebrating that milestone, Carlos has initiated a series of prizes and competitions which in itself is a continuation of something he has always done- giving something back to the clients and the community. “It’s our way of thanking the clients, many of whom have been with us for over 25 years,” Carlos told us.

For the same reason the Bar is, and has been, involved in supporting many sporting and charity causes from the very beginning as a way of, “thanking clients for their loyalty”.

To start with there’s a free monthly raffle. When you settle your bill, you’ll be given a slip of paper to fill in with your personal details which will go into the urn to be drawn at the beginning of each month.

Prizes include free meals and excursions such as the popular whale and dolphin trips from the harbour etc. Until April 16 you can hand in your entry to their super-short film competition of a maximum of five minutes. The top entries will be screened in the restaurant throughout the year and the winners will waltz off to the UK for a free holiday, courtesy of Bar El Cine.

The venue has a great cosmopolitan buzz with many repeat clients and welcomes custom-

Frozen gifts

ers from many countries with open arms and hearts. Old time clients will be aware that there have been few changes in staff either over the years, except for additional members to cope with the increasing popularity of the restaurant.

That, in itself, says a great deal. You can be attended to in English, German, French or Russian by the multilingual waiters and Carlos himself who are waiting for you to visit and, “share this marvellous movie style experience with great food and lots of smiles”.

As we were leaving, a group of swallows and their friends strolled in smiling and sniffing the air appreciatively as Imerial Tai-Pan >>

Asian awakening

Imperial Tai-pan

The sun was out, the drinks were cold, spirits were high and the food was utterly delicious at the launch party of Imperial Tai-Pan. Formerly known as Teppanyaki in Centro Commercial Safari, Playa de las Américas, Imperial Tai-Pan boasts a fabulous menu, which includes 70 delicious new dishes that have been added across the Teppanyaki, Chinese and Sushi menus. There is also an entirely new section called Chef’s Imperial Dishes. We had the pleasure of sampling several of the sublime gastronomic creations, including some spectacular sushi, crispy spring rolls and jasmine-infused five-spice chicken wings, and can thoroughly recommend a visit!

Tel: 922 795 395 http:// www.imperialtaipanrestaurant.com

Facebook users have the chance to win a basket full of food goodies.

As regular shoppers will know the range and prices at Iceland are hard to beat for preprepared frozen meals, but if you want frozen meat or fish, especially unbranded, 5 Oceanos is a good place to visit. You have until April 12 to make a purchase at any of the 24 stores across Tenerife.

There is one prize of a basket of frozen food to the value of

€30 for each shop – 24 prizes in all. Buy anything in the store and ask for your receipt and a participation number.

Once you’ve made your purchase (no minimum required) simply enter in their facebook page at www.facebook.com/ and 5OceanosCongelados press the Like button, then

they were welcomed as befits regular returning clients. We asked them what kept them coming back to this venue and the answer was clear, “we come here for the fresh fish, the atmosphere and because we like him,” was the reply as they nodded towards Carlos, who looked up and grinned as he continued to take an order.

If you’ve never visited Bar El Cine, you’re really missing out on a piece of Tenerife culinary history, culture and immense pleasure – go soon. For old-time clients it’s an excellent time to revisit one of your favourite spots and Carlos and his staff are sure to give you their customary extraordinarily warm welcome.

Sorteo 24 cestas. A new page will come up for you to fill in the participation number, the number of the ticket and the date of purchase. The draw will be made on April 13. Don’t forget to keep your receipts and participation tickets and good luck.

Family and staff outside McCartney’s

ness, was riffling through his grandfather’s old hand-written recipe book, when he came across a recipe for home-cured corned beef. Using that as a base, he has created his own recipe which was said to have, “blown away” the judges at the GTA final.

Initially he was preparing two 6lb blocks of his speciality ever y day, using the two presses that have been used by his family for years.

When the news came that they had won a coveted three star gold award, sales rose by more than half and after the Supreme Champion’s Award was made known demand has soared. They have already had to order six more presses to be specially made.

It is now on sale at: Selfridges & Co, 400 Oxford Street; Gonalston Farm Shop, Southwell Road, Gonalston, Nottinghamshire; Partridges, Sloane Square, 2-5 Duke of York Square, London; Farmer

Copleys Ravensknowle Farm, Pontefract Road, Purston, Pontefract, West Yorkshire; Turnbulls Deli, 9 High Street, Shaftesbury, Dorset; The Cadogan Hotel, 75 Sloane Street, London; Pistachio & Pickle, 237 Liverpool Road, Islington, London and of course - Fortnum & Mason,181 Piccadilly, London. In Northern Ireland they are the only stockist, but they also sell online via their website at http://www.mccartneysofmoira.com.

So how are the finalists chosen? A team of over 350 chefs, deli owners, food writers and other professional foodie people worked in small teams

Jamones Eíriz Jabugo, a family business with 200 years of tradition and experience

over 35 days to taste the 7,481 entries from around the world.

In the end they decided on 114 three gold star winners, which are whittled down to decide the British and Irish regional and national champions (list below) and a final Supreme Jury select the overall winner.

Some of the Spanish winners in the one star category included: Trufka - Pescaviar’s truffle caviar made by micronisation from white truffles, black truffle juice, xantham gium, wine, citric acid and spices; Mallafine Lemon Oil from the Catalonian company Edeli – an extra virgin oil where lemon zest is cold pressed with the olives (the company also won one star awards for there Mallafre Garlic Oil and Mallafre Rosemar y Oil); LA Organic gold Intense Virgin Organic Olive Oil, from LA Organic in Andalucia which comes in delightfully shaped bottles designed by Philippe Starck (other one star awards were also received for their LA ORO Delicate Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil, Organic Sherry Balsamic Vinegar and LA Original Suave Extra Virgin Organic Olive Oil) and a familiar favourite from most major supermarkets, La Vieja Fabrica Seville Orange Marmalade – a Seville orange marmalade, made with Seville oranges, in Seville but based on a 170 year

old recipe from Denmark. Two star winners included Chorizo Sarta Artesanal, sold in the UK via Products From Spain who also stock one of the three star winners, Quinones Smoked Pancetta, Salchichon Extra from Cembranos, León, sold via The Spanish Food Company, UK and Tusal Gourmet nuts which are definitely not for munching with a pint.

Esther Tusal told us, “I have won other GTA in the past but it’s my first time winning a two Star Gold, and believe me when I say that I felt top of the world.

We are a small artisan company and I have put so much effort in my little project during this ten hard years of business, that is nice to be able to see the rewards of that effort. I feel so passionate about my nuts.... that I can’t tell you. (More information on these exquisite products at http://www.tusalartisan-nuts.com).

Out of the 114 three star winners, one is made in Spain and marketed in the UK (mentioned above), the others were Arbequina Fresh Olive Oil from Mother’s Garden, www. mothersgarden.org, produced by a Norfolk family now living in Catalonia and famous for their appearances in the series of Channel Four Documentaries, No Going Back; Iberian ham from Tratedal Alnasec SL in

Badajoz, www.sierrademonesterio.com and Ibérico Ham Bellota Reserva Eíriz from Jamones Eíriz Jabugo SL. We spoke to Domingo Eíriz Martín, who with his brother are the owners of Jamones Eíriz Jabugo, a family business with 200 years of tradition and experience in the natural production of hams and other sliced meat delicatessen products in the middle of the Sierra de Aracena natural park in Huelva on the Spanish peninsula.

He explained that their products are, “exclusive and ver y select, from the herd of thoroughbred acorn fed Iberian pigs from our farms”.

From there they cure the meat and distribute it direct to the final client all over Spain and Europe.

This is the second GTA award they have won for their ham and the previous year they also won a prize for their Iberian loin. Their products are protected and guaranteed under the Denominación de Origen Jamón of Huelva. The company offer a traditionally made product and personalised service with delivery and arrival within 24-48 hours and of course

as there is no middle man, you get an excellent price/quality value for money. Check out www.jamoneseiriz.com or see their facebook page to see more details, or if you wish you can visit the farm and factory as Jamones Eírez is on the Jamón Ibérico route devised by the Ministry of Tourism. So you can visit, see the full process and try their products in situ with a glass of wine. You will need to reserve a place and the visit takes around two hours.

Special prices are available for groups.A nice touch during the final judging and prize giving events was raising over £7,000 for Action Against Hunger through a raffle and auction, with a top prize of a helicopter trip for lunch at the Lime Wood Hotel in the New Forest, Hampshire. Do you have a company which produces a special vinegar, cheese, meat, wine, beer or whatever?

If so you may be interested in signing up for the next annual awards.

Dr. De La Flor

m_delaflor@hotmail.com

Dear Dr. De La Flor What’s the difference between asthma that is due to allergies and asthma that is not? Is it possible to overuse the inhaler that I use (Ventolin)? Thank you, Vivian

Dear Vivian, Allergic asthma is an over-reactive immunologic response that occurs because your body makes too much of an immune system component called immunoglobulin E (IgE).

In general, patients with allergic asthma are bothered by common allergens like animal dander, dust mites, pollen, mold, or cockroaches, and they are often allergic to more than one of these things.

When a person has asthma that isn’t related to allergies, but is instead triggered by factors that act directly on the lungs, such as infections, exercise, cold air, pollution, and stress, they have non-allergic asthma. Many people with asthma have a combination of non-allergic and allergic asthma.

The inhaler you use (ventolin) is a bronchodilator, a drug that helps open up the airways. They are only for ‘rescue use’, when you truly need help breathing.

Anything more than twice a week, unless the inhaler is being used for exercise-related symptom prevention, is too much. Patients who need to use it more than twice a week need to reassess their asthma control therapy. Using bronchodilator inhalers several times a day, actually increases mortality risk. Bronchodilators open the air ways by relaxing the muscles around them, and overly frequent use can make it more difficult for these muscles to relax on their

conversation

By Dr. De La Flor

Everyone has their story, a fair or perhaps unfair blend of personal suffering and victories. Every morning however, what matters is not so much what our history has been, but our interpretation of our current circumstances and the desire to do our best under those circumstances.

It is the nature of the inner conversation that limits us or on the contrary serves as a springboard to bring out the very best in us.

Dear Dr. De La Flor

inner

ReSOLUTION Using ventolin more than twice a week is not a great idea

own. The lungs basically lock up.

My advice is to have a conversation with your GP – a thorough examination of your daily activities as well as ‘triggers’ and re-assess your treatment if necessary. Best wishes.

Dear Dr. De La Flor My doctor told me that I may need an angioplasty in my neck. Is it dangerous?

What is it exactly? Regards, Donna

Dear Donna, Unfortunately what your doctor means is that your carotid arteries (located in your neck) are clogged.

This is called Carotid Artery Disease. It occurs when fatty, waxy deposits called plaques clog your carotid arteries.

Your carotid arteries are a pair of blood vessels that deliver blood to your brain and head. The buildup of plaques in these arteries blocks the blood supply to your brain and increases your risk of stroke.

Because it develops slowly and often goes unnoticed, the

first outward clue that you have the condition may be a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), sometimes referred to as a mini-stroke.

Treatment usually involves a combination of lifestyle changes, medications and, in some cases, surgery or a stenting procedure.

Carotid angioplasty is a procedure that will open up the clogged arteries to prevent a stroke. The procedure involves temporarily inserting and inflating a tiny balloon where your carotid artery is clogged to widen the artery.

Carotid angioplasty is often combined with the placement of a small metal coil called a stent in the clogged artery.

The stent helps prop the artery open and decreases the chance of it narrowing again. Carotid angioplasty and stenting may be used when traditional carotid surger y isn’t feasible or is too risky.

Whether or not you need to undergo an angioplasty, my advice is to sit down with your GP and set some goals regarding life-style changes – you can do much more than you think to prevent cerebrovascular episodes and hopefully keep surgeries and surgeons away! Best wishes!

For the next two weeks, we should try to do a courageous ‘check up’ of our inner conversation. Is the conversation we are having one that invests in greater possibilities, or greater limitations? Are we allowing ourselves to be side-tracked by the unexpected, and even annoying, challenges that have presented themselves in our lives, or are we reminding ourselves that without suffering and pain nothing substantial can be obtained? Are you willing to use your circumstances and conditions as a launchpad from which to shine?

Like a rose, sometimes we grow from unappealing compost. Our contribution is not in spite of our history, but comes through it.

Best wishes for those enduring any illness or pain. Talk to you in a couple of weeks.

Feel free to add me as a friend on Facebook (Manuel De La Flor). Talk to you in a couple of weeks.

His medical approach is highly influenced by Positive Psychology; an empowering, encompassing way of approaching patients through the study of their strengths and virtues to enable them to thrive and lead fulfilling lives, accept the past, find happiness in the present, and hope for the future.

Eat chocolate to stay slim

I

n what can almost be taken as proof that there is, in fact, a God, new research has found that regular chocolate consumption can help to maintain a lower BMI (Body Mass Index).

Findings from a study of almost 1,000 Americans revealed that those who ate chocolate a few times a week were, on average, slimmer than those who ate it only occasionally. Other lifestyle factors such as the amount of exercise done were also taken into account.

Researchers say that the likelihood of the findings being purely coincidental was one in a hundred.

This is not the first time scientists have suggested that chocolate may be healthy for us, past studies have suggested chocolate

may be good for the heart and dark chocolate in particular contains antioxidants, which can help to reduce harmful free radicals.

But it’s worth bearing in mind that chocolate also contains a lot of sugar and fat, so before you use this as an excuse to overdose on Cadburys, experts advise caution and common sense. So just one bar, not a multi-pack…

hope you’re all well and happy now that signs of the summer are here at last. It looks set to be a lovely and balmy Easter. My youngest daughter Julia will be here with her family, so I’ll be one very happy lady.

I’d like to pay tribute to Carole and Mike from the Swallows who have held so many functions and trips, quiz nights and party nights this year which have all been really well received and enjoyed by everyone who took part. They have raised a massive €5,000 for cancer research here in Tenerife. So, well done everyone and special thanks go to the weekly petanque players, the little library, and the callanetics group for their contributions. And special congratulations go to Carole and Mike who celebrate their Silver wedding in April and will be going on a cruise to Pearl Harbour. Enjoy your special time and get ready once again to organise even more fundraisers for cancer research.

Sometimes I like to sit in the sun and watch the world go by with a cup of coffee. I see many families with prams and pushchairs enjoying a stroll with their babies and am amazed to find that some of the ladies I thought were older Mums are actually Grandmas. And why not. Why shouldn’t old-

er women enjoy life, fashion, make-up, independence and even face lifts and boob jobs if they so desire? I’m all for it.

But children sometimes have a different perspective, especially if they are the children of older parents. These children tend to have the more traditional grandparents as their stories in Infant School often bear witness to. Here are some of the little stories and quotes from some of them written by a class of eight year olds..

What is a grandparent ?

Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own. They like other people’s especially me and my brother.

Grandparents don’t have to do anything except be there when we come to see them.

They are so old they shouldn’t play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money. When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars. They show us and talk to us about the colours of the flowers and also why we shouldn’t step on cracks and they don’t say, ‘Hurry up.’

Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes. They wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums out.

My Grandpa has big hairs in his ears and nose but I don’t mind.

Bus it Dear Editor

I

have to admit I’m not a great city driver and coming from a place where public transport is pretty good I have been heard to complain about the lack of a decent service here in Tenerife.

However on a recent trip to Santa Cruz I had occasion to use the bus, as I wasn’t sure about parking near the Plaza del Toro. So I parked in the bus station and asked at the information desk.

The staff were helpful and directed me to the right bus stop, the bus left on time and the driver instructed me where to get off and in which direction I needed to proceed.

Hi everyone, Katy column

Grandparents have to be clever. They have to answer questions like “Who made God?” and “How come dogs chase cats?”

When they read to us, they don’t skip. They don’t mind if we ask for the same story over again.

Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you aren’t allowed to watch a lot of television because they are the only grownups who like to spend time with us.

They know we should have snack time before bed time, and they say prayers with us and kiss us even when we’ve acted bad.

A six-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. ‘’Oh,’’ he said, ‘’she lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then when we’re done having her visit, we take her back to the airport.’’ But the one that made me laugh the most was this one. “It’s funny when my Granddad bends over because

he does bottom beeps and he blames it on the dog. My Mum tells him off and my Grandma says she’s wasting her breath.”

But in this computerised and digital age, how about this Grandparent’s answering Machine? Good morning.

At present we are not at home but, please leave your message after you hear the beep. Beeeeeppp…..

If you are one of our children, dial 1 and then select the option from 1 to 5 in order of “birth arrival” so we know who it is.

If you need us to stay with the children, press 2 If you want to borrow the car, press 3 If you want us to wash your clothes and iron them, press 4 If you want the grandchildren to sleep here tonight, press 5 If you want us to pick up the kids from school, press 6 If you want us to prepare a meal for Sunday or to have it delivered to your home, press 7 If you want to come to eat here, press 8 If you need money, dial 9 If you are going to invite us to dinner, or, taking us to the theatre, start talking we are listening !!!!!!!!!!!”

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

Armeñime health centre Dear Editor

I

remember a few months ago you ran an article about people, mostly ex-pats actually, giving out about the new health centre in Armeñime.

While I wasn’t in the article I was one of the many who had

loads of reservations about the new place; I liked my doctor in Adeje, I thought it was a handy place for a health centre, and along with lots of others, I just really didn’t like the idea of change. How wrong was I? I have now been attending the centre in Armeñime – a number of family illness have seen myself, my husband, and our child have to go both with and without appointments and I have to say I couldn’t be happier. The building is clean (ok, it’s new), comfortable, a nice waiting area – not that you have to wait too long.

The doctors are ver y helpful and friendly – and the consultancy rooms are much bigger and better than in Adeje. The receptionists are also very very helpful, and certainly there is nothing like the kind of waiting time we had to endure in Adeje. The only

problem now is that we can’t attend Armeñime if there’s a weekend emergency as it’s only open during the week.

But to the others who were worried, don’t be. This is a great addition to the health network in Adeje – we’re better off than before.

Yours sincerely Concepta Garcia Callao Salvaje

T

his week I’d like to tell you a bit about my predecessor: the late, great, Basil - the first spokesmutt for TenerifeDogs.com.

These two loggerhead turtles, named by the children at El Puertito, Adeje, on the day of their release back into the waters, had been cared for by the staff at the Centro de Recuperación de Fauna Silvestre La Tahonilla, as part

of the SeaLab project. Adeje council took part in the event, with both the education councillor, Andrés Perez Ramos and the environmental councillor Maria Esther Rivero Vargas both referring to the importance of educating our children as to the need to care for the sea and it’s residents, and thanking all those who care for the recov-

ery of those creatures who are injured by human negligence as well as welcoming the Cabildo’s involvement in the SeaLab project. There was also a series of photographs detailing the kind of damage human carelessness can cause on display. David Novillo, of the SeaLab project was on hand to talk the press, the adults, and of course the

The room is at the CEIP Parque de la Reina. This is a pilot project where young children will be taught by their teachers about animal welfare, for example, how some wild

animals are in danger, how to protect our environment, how rubbish is dangerous for wild animals etc. It is a room specially decorated and filled with information like books, games and technical equipment. A comfortable carpet is provided so children are able to sit down on the floor, work and watch and also respect the area they are working in by keeping it clean. The equipment is sponsored by Aktion Tier.

David Novillo told his fascinated audience what we have to do to keep the turtles from harm (top) Alica and Aneka begin their journey home (bottom)

children. A born communicator, he was El Puertito’s pied piper, and every child on the shore would have followed him into the sea to release Alice and Aneka if he had just said the word.

Unfortunately, as the sea was a bit rough, and as “the sea sets the agenda”, David told the enthralled audience, they were not able to carry out the initial plan of allowing the turtles walk into the water, as they need time to find their bearings and with high waves these deeper water turtles might have had difficulties.

Instead David took them out to a waiting boat where they were then brought to calmer waters and released.

While Alice and Aneka have been lucky, many are not, but it is hoped that through these excellent recuperation and education programmes more people will begin to realise that for every action there is a reaction, and begin to care a little bit more for the very lovely place in which we live.

It’s been a year since he passed away, aged 13. Nikki and Richard were very upset to lose their furry amigo, and were in two minds whether to get another pooch. Of course this is something that most doggie people have to deal with eventually: the grief of losing your faithful friend, and the decision whether or not to adopt another dog into your family (knowing that eventually you’ll probably have to go through it all again). Lucky for me, they did! Here’s the wooftastic story of Basil’s arrival in Tenerife, in his own words ...

“It’s a funny old world if you’re a dog. One minute you’re freezing your bollox off walking round a muddy field in the rain, then a geezer puts you in this little wooden cage, drives you off to an extremely noisy smelly place (apparently called Cat Wick), and you have to endure hours and hours stuck in this crate while your stomach does all kinds of weird stuff. Then this other funny smelling geezer arrives and carries the cage around a bit more, and next thing is: Wow, is that my master and mistress’ voices? Yes, oh yes, that’s their smell! Yipee, woof, woof” And on life here as an expat pooch El Baz said, “Yeah, it’s not bad here really. Well obviously it’s still a dog’s life, and I’m having a few problems with the language thing, but it’s well smelly here, and I’m getting lots of good walks (more like rock climbs really).

Plenty of cats to chase, and I never did like the rain much the mud yes, but there’s loads of nice volcanic dust to roll around in. And I get plenty of time to sit around in the sunshine and think up things for Nikki’s TenerifeDogs blog, like: ‘I Woof therefore I am’’. Pretty clever that, don’t you think? I bet no-one’s thought of that before”.

Although I (Gizmo) never got to meet him, I know that Basil was a pooch with a big personality (typical Yorkie in fact) and a tough act to fol-

El Baz

low. It’s a real shame that us woofers don’t have that long on this earth. The years fly by very quickly for us mutts.

That’s why it’s so important to find time for your pooch.

El Baz moved to Tenerife when he was nine, and then had four good years of sniffing volcanic rocks, chasing Canarian cats and loads of great walkies. He had a fantastic life, but sadly he had to be put to sleep because of a brain tumour. Nikki and Richard were devastated when they had to make that visit to the vet and say their last goodbye to Basil. They went for long walks, wrote his name in the sand and watched the sea wash it away. The grief was so intense that for a while they didn’t want to get another dog. They didn’t know if they’d ever be able to love another pooch as much, and

they even worried that it might be disrespectful to his memory.

People often feel this way, and I think it’s quite understandable. When one of us mutts becomes so much part of your everyday life, at first it seems inconceivable and wrong just to go out and replace a furry family member.

But luckily for me, my humans are doggie people and they really missed not having a furry amigo to share their life.

So it’s hasta luego y ‘chowfor-now’ mis furry amigos, and in the words of that great doggie philosopher: “I woof therefore I am”. ps if you would like to keep in touch with me, check out my Facebook page Snr Giz and if there are any doggie issues you would like me to discuss in my column, please e-mail gizmo@tenerifedogs.com

Don’t cut corners British property buyers

P

otential buyers of property in Spain were warned, post-UK budget, to avoid cutting corners when purchasing a home or holiday apartment.

Don’t cut corners and turn purchasing your dream home into a nightmare

Estate agents, lawyers and property developers who offer ways to save money and speed up the Spanish conveyancing system may lead to purchasers ending up with hugely expensive headaches later on, the British Embassy warned.

Despite the wellknown problems facing thousands of past purchasers of property in Spain, the Embassy is aware that there are still property industry representatives who are trying to tempt future buyers with apparently attractive methods to secure their dream homes more quickly or cheaply. Such offers

may in fact be very bad value.

“You should exercise extreme caution if an estate agent, promoter or lawyer urges you to cut corners to save money or time”, said Embassy property adviser Alex Brown. “The Spanish property conveyancing system is different to the UK. When you choose an estate agent, promoter or lawyer to help with your purchase, check that they are qualified, reliable professionals and have significant experience of operating in Spain and expert knowledge of how the system works.”

Although the vast majority of British property owners enjoy life in Spain and have had no problems, thousands of British expats are facing some kind of legal problem with their homes, some because they were advised to cut corners during the purchasing process. Many others are facing difficulties through no fault of their own, caught up in the complexities of Spanish

planning regulations.

“There is a wealth of information on the Embassy’s UKinSpain website“, said Alex Brown. “We strongly urge people to check the advice in full, make sure they use fully qualified, reputable advisers throughout the purchase process, and avoid any kind of ‘dodgy deal’ that could end up costing huge amounts of heartache and hard-earned money later on.”

The advice was issued as thousands of Britons were heading for the annual ‘A Place in the Sun’ show in London which ran from 30th March until 1st April, aimed at potential purchasers of property abroad. nd tax issues when buying overseas.

Further Embassy advice on buying property in Spain can be found on the UKinSpain website at: http://ukinspain.fco.gov. uk/en/help-for-british-nationals/living-in-spain/property-inspain.

Consumer group Poor Connections Movistar and Vodafone came out first and second in the worst business of the year ‘prizes’ selected by consumers in a spoof competitions organised by FACUA – Consumidores en Acción consumer group.

A series of companies are nominated by the consumer group and it is the consumers themselves who decide who will be awarded the prize. This year’s nominees were, Bankia, CAM, Movistar, Vodafone and Ryanair.

Movistar was awarded 37 per cent of the votes, followed by Vodafone with 32 per cent. According to FACUA, Movistar has a rotten public image. The communications giant also won the award for the worst publicity of the year, taking 35 per cent of the vote.

The advert, which showed an assembly of clients deciding democratically the rates to be applied was taken to be a mockery of the popular 15M movement, which started just before the last elections and saw thousands of people take to the streets across the country in support of a different kind of democracy which focussed on people rather that political parties.

F

resh from its triumphant debut at the recent Geneva Motor Show the latest iteration of SEAT’S most successful and well-known model, the Ibiza supermini, is being prepared for its launch.

It was back at the 1984 Paris Motor Show that the world caught its first glimpse of a Spanish supermini that would shake up the small car class for good, bringing much-needed style and excitement to the sector and establishing SEAT as a key component of the Volkswagen Group. The public unveiling 25 years ago of the Ibiza Mk I signalled the start of a motoring success story that

Super supermini

the latest iteration of SEAT’S most successful model

has taken the car to worldwide sales of more than four million and, in the process, the title of SEAT’s best-selling model of the modern era. The Ibiza is a landmark, too, as it was the first product to be wholly developed by SEAT as a fully independent company.

The great news for fans of SEAT’s sporty and stylish FR trim is that it now occupies an even more affordable place in the extensive Ibiza range, with engine availability widened to

include turbocharged 105 PS units in both petrol and diesel.

The established higher-end FR derivatives – 1.4-litre TSI 150 PS DSG-auto and 2.0-litre TDI 143 PS turbodiesel – are also available at much lower prices.

For the very first time FR is also now available on the Ibiza ST, for those who crave a practical yet genuinely sporty small estate.

Of course aside from compelling new prices, the design of the new Ibiza has been fully updated in line with SEAT’s latest styling direction. Since 2008 the brand has shown a

stunning selection of concept vehicles – most recently the IBE, IBX and IBL – which point the way to a range of all-new models yet to come.

Under the stewardship of new Head of Design Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos the new Ibiza takes on many of the sharp, dynamic details which will be a hallmark of SEAT design in the coming years.

Thus the new Ibiza boasts reshaped headlights that now include sculptural elements inside the clusters similar to the new Alhambra MPV and the recently-revised Exeo family of executive class saloons and estates. Specifying optional bi-xenon headlights also adds LED daytime running lights for an even bolder appearance.

Elsewhere the front grille is smaller and sharper, front fog lights take on a rectangular shape and the front end on all models now features the sporty, ‘downward-facing’ trapezoidal lower grille formerly limited to FR and

Cupra models. Finally, at the front, the revised bonnet features a strong central crease line – a key design cue taken from the IBE and IBL concept cars. At the back the new Ibiza’s tail lights have been redesigned. Curved and semicircular elements have been replaced with sharper lines while FR models gain LED tail lights for an even more distinctive light signature. The rear bumpers have been changed, too, with sharper lines tracing the rear ‘diffuser’ section.

New alloy wheel designs complete the exterior changes.

Inside, new typography on the instrument dials and a refreshed climate control display makes things clearer and more stylish on the New Ibiza. There are redesigned steering wheels across the range, including a flat-bottomed design on FR. Finally even the glove compartment has been enlarged, with significantly more storage and the addition of an interior light.

With the warm weather approaching and several exciting events taking place this year, everyone wants to save some cash.

Although owning a car comes with necessary costs such as road tax and insurance, there are ways to cut other costs. You can start by changing your driving behaviour.

Here are some helpful tips to help you save:

Summer driving tips

Ensure your car is regularly serviced and that tyres are correctly inflated. Keeping the interior and exterior of your car clean prevents deterioration and rust. Changing the oil and oil filter, tyres, brake fluid and other essentials regularly, in accordance with the maintenance manual, keeps the engine and other parts in good working order. If in doubt, do these things more often than required. Also, checking tyre pressure could save you up to 25 per cent in fuel. As well as saving money and helping the environment, properly inflated tyres are safer, will wear more evenly and therefore last longer.

Do not rely on your sat nav to get you around, as they are not always accurate and can take you down a longer than necessary route causing you to spend more on fuel.

Furthermore, it has been recently revealed that in the UK alone, misleading sat navs have caused over £200m worth of damage to drivers by leading them down rough roads.

Try to challenge your parking and speeding tickets. It will help keep the cost of your car insurance premiums down. Also, many times they’ve been wrongly issued and may eventually get cancelled. If you’re certain you will have to pay the fine, do so quickly as you’re likely to receive a discount if you pay within a certain time period.

Cut costs, not corners

Change your driving behaviour. Changing driving behaviour can significantly reduce fuel spend and make you a safer driver.

Smoother driving, reducing speed and cutting back on sudden acceleration and braking can lead to a number of environmental and financial benefits.

Keep your car as long as possible. The price of the car when you purchase it and how long you keep it will determine the actual financial benefit. That is, the longer you own a car the cheaper it becomes to own it. You can save money when car shopping by simply choosing the more affordable option. Consider investing in a good quality used car and you’ll save even more by simply holding on to your car for longer.

Find the right value insurance for your money. When choosing an insurer don’t just go with the cheapest option, as it may not be the best value for money and can end up costing you more in the future. The simplest and most effective route is to see a broker that will immediately give you a good idea of the market, allowing you to compare plans that are suitable for you.

Knight Insurance offers a complete service and a range of comprehensive insurance products for your car.

A champion among champions Continued from back page from Argentina nicknamed ‘The Wild Bull of the Pampas’ came within one second of winning the title, for when he stepped into the fight to face Dempsey, 90.000 spectators were present to see the Wild Bull challenge the most savage heavyweight in the world.

The two men charged towards each other as the bell rang and Firpo landed the first punch and the crowd rose hysterically to its feet as the great Dempsey hit the deck, but he jumped to his feet and caught Firpo with a terrific punch to his jaw. The huge Argentinean sank to the canvas like a stricken bull. As he gamely rose to his feet Dempsey was waiting for him and planted him on the floor again. During the first round Firpo was up and down like a yo-yo. To this day no one knows exactly how often it was, but each time the giant South American climbed gamely to his feet to take all the champion could dish out. After rising to his feet after about eight knockdowns Firpo made a wild dash at Dempsey and fired one last haymaker which sent the champion clean through the ropes and into the laps of the first row of spectators. It was Firpo’s supreme moment for he was just seconds away from the title and world riches. But the referee never counted those ten seconds. He just stood there dumbfounded as willing hands at the ringside pushed Jack Dempsey back into the ring. The round ended and Firpo’s big chance was gone. He was knocked out in round two.

Another title fight that Dempsey was involved in is remembered for probably the most enduring controversy in the history of boxing, involving the famous ‘long count’. It happened during Dempsey’s return fight with Gene Tunney when, during the seventh round Dempsey dropped his opponent with a combination of punches but instead of going to a neutral corner as the new rule stated at that time he stood over Tunney and the referee refused to start the count until he moved. Tunney rose to his feet at the count of nine but films of the fight show he was down for 14 seconds. Tunney went on to win on points. Jack Dempsey never fought again but his is a name that will never be forgotten for his rough style of fighting changed boxing forever for every other heavyweight before him appeared stately by comparison. It’s no wonder that right up to the day he died in 1983 at the age of 88 he was never called anything but Champ.

Who runs the

or all the talk of Tenerife manager Andrés García Tébar’s reputation as his own man, doubts have been expressed of late that he is really as in charge as is being made out at the club.

Several football writers in local papers have printed stories suggesting that director of football Pedro Cordero exerts considerable influence over the team, including during games. According to the reports, Cordero keeps in constant contact by mobile phone during matches with Tenerife’s assistant coach Manolo Sánchez, who is considered his eyes and ears in the dressing room and on the training ground. In one

bizarre incident, Sánchez, who was banished to the stands after being sent off by the referee in the previous game, continued to shout instructions to players on the field from his seat high up, after apparently taking calls from Cordero in the directors’ box.

At least one player looked very puzzled at receiving orders not just from his manager on the touchline but contradictory instructions from Sánchez.

Moreover, following the disastrous home defeat by secondbottom Sanse towards the end of March, Cordero is reported to have called a meeting with the players at the club’s training facility without García-Tébar being present.

er slammed the players after the embarrassing loss to bottom club Leganés and urged Tenerife’s chairman “not to pay them if they finish outside the top four”.

Promotion not an option :

La Palma “cannot go up”

L

a Palma basketball fans have been told by their local side that promotion to the Spanish ACB premiership is not an option even though the team are flying high in the LEB league and could even win the automatic promotion spot if results go their way in the coming weeks.

Chairman Toni Acosta said the magnificent season by his unfancied team, which has taken the league by storm since

September, was “great news” but he had to be realistic and make it clear that La Palma are in no position to survive among the basketball elite. “If we could, we would even avoid taking part in the play-offs due to the financial cost, but we owe it to fans to do our best and compete even though we know there is no way we can go up” said Acosta.

Italy stunned :

Volleyball death

José Carlos a step closer

On the field sporting tragedies continued in March not just with the headline-making collapse and near-death of Bolton’s Fabrice Muamba in England but an actual death in Italian volleyball.

Vigor Bovolenta, who plays for Forli, complained of feeling ill as he was about to serve in a league game against Macareta and seconds later slumped unconscious to the ground clutching his chest. The 37-year-old father of four, a European champion at club level and Olympic silver medallist with Italy, failed to recover and was pronounced dead at the scene, throwing the entire country’s volleyball community into mourning.

The rural schools at Tejina and Vera de Erques have welcomed the extra-curricular activities proposed by the Sports Department of the Guía de Isora council for those hoping to obtain their Socio-Cultural Monitor qualification.

The department recently completed visits to the borough’s four rural schools in Chiguergue, Chirche, Tejina and Vera de Erques as part of a new school sports project launched in February. The project has already been a huge hit with schools along the coast and in the centre of Playa San Juan, and looks set to be equally popular in the rural schools of Tejina and Vera de Erques, where it was launched on 22 and 23 March respectively.

The main aim is to encourage the youngsters to take part in sports, to develop a sense of working together, playing fairly and having fun with pupils of all ages in all the learning centres of the borough.

In a win-win situation for children and organizers alike, the eight students taking the ‘socio-cultural monitor’ course took full advantage of the project to put their theory into practice. David García, who runs the course highlighted the importance of the project in being able to evaluate the students in real-life activities, and added that as the course is 30 hours in total, the students will finish in May.

behind a very strong African contingent. Hernández’s time of just under two hours and 12 minutes was a full two minutes better than his previous best, set in Berlin in 2010, and puts him in a good position to be selected for Spain for London.

“I managed to keep up with the Kenyans until the very end and might have made it onto the podium if I had stepped up the pace but my thighs were sore and I opted to guarantee a good time rather than risk it” said the delighted runner afterwards.

Lanzarote, scored two tries with Michel lofting over three conversions.

The following day, against Fuerteventura, the boys went on the field fired up for a win. Ñandu’s Rodrigo Paz scored the first try taking the ball from the scrum and running onto the try line. However the Fuerteventura side were also on form and soon overtook the Adeje side with a try and a penalty. In the second half Ñandu came close to a seond try but were unable to find the finishing touch. Final result Fuerteventura 13:5 Ñandu.

Tenerife is still on course for a play-off position despite a mini crisis which saw manager Garcia Tébar one game from being sacked.

It is not the results as such that have led to the possible dismissal of Tébar as, since he took over in February, the blanquiazules have won seven out of their eleven matches.

But some of the displays of late have left a lot to be desired, losing twice to bottom placed teams and losing poorly at home 0-2 to S.S. de Los Reyes. Rumours abound that Tébar has lost

rebellion!”

After the blanquiazules dismal display in Madrid, losing 2-0 against CD Leganes, tensions were running high for the home game against CD Toledo. Tenerife was missing six out of their eight midfield players but most knew that this game was more about attitude. Medina and Marcos held the midfield together but they are defensive type players and Tenerife lacked creativity. Chances were few and far between and up the other end the Tenerife keeper Sergio Aragoneses was a mere spectator in the warm spring sunshine. The play-

Sicilia saves the day the respect of the players and that was mainly due to some home truths being aired at heated press conferences given by the boss. Some of the pearls spelled out by Tébar include, “If the players do not make the play-offs and I was President, I would sack them all and not pay them” or after Tenerife had won four matches on the trot he accused them of enjoying themselves too much at the carnival and not training hard enough.

Despite all the troubles the supporters of Tenerife made it clear that they were totally behind the manager and slated the players’ attitude. A statement released by the main Fan Club the Frente Blanquiazul stated, “we want to give our maximum support to the manager and his ‘disciplined’ approach and we will not sit by or permit the players to laugh at us. We on the Island are tired of the players ‘miming’ and they need to understand that when they come here it is to fight for the club badge, sweat for the shirt, respect the institution and at the very least take the club back to the second division, where they deserve to be.” The communication ended, “promotion is still possible but we need the commitment of all! The message is simple; more guts and less

ers were whistled off at the break after a frustrating first half. The second half saw a slight improvement and at last there were signs that a breakthrough could be made. Kiko Ratón and Rosquette brought some life into the attack. But it would not be a Tenerife game if they did not have a player sent off and on 73 minutes Tarantino received his marching orders.

Despite the player advantage the visitors decided to hold on for the draw. Perhaps the effort was there by CD Tenerife but the layout of the team at present is unbalanced. The fans were divided on whether to slate their own players or to cheer but due to Toledo´s spoiling tactics (players going down with cramp etc) their disdain was redirected towards

the away team. This took the pressure off the blanquiazules in the closing minutes and incredibly the winning goal was scored on 93 minutes. That man again, Pablo Sicilia, produced a finish a striker would have been proud of, the cel-

ebrations were fantastic and the relief was immense.

The win does not necessarily mean that Tenerife has come through their bad patch but it relives a lot of pressure and key players are due back from suspensions and injuries soon.

Birds of a

feather [ Arona International Derby ]

T

he pigeon world flocked together in Arona, Tenerife, recently for a 300km international race, with 81 birds taking part.

First home was Ichabod, owned by Portugal’s Jorge Almeida Santos, winning the first prize of €25,000. The second and third birds, VIP and Diazepan were only seconds behind, and belong to England’s Paul Smith and William Donachie from Scotland.

The organisation did a great job preparing the birds for this difficult race under the

expert coordination of José Ledesma and his family in Arona, who oversaw the birds’ stay and training in the run up to the race.

The race conditions were excellent on the day, with normal winds, but as many birds cannot handle racing over water only 81 took part. This was the seventh time the race has been staged, and the route is from Fuerteventura to Tenerife – a 300km crossing. The winning bird came home in 04:14:29. All the birds were in fine form on their return, and the race day was a great social occasion too for the many owners

and bird fanciers who turned up.

Pigeon racing is a very international sport, with entrants in this derby from a host of countries, including many from the UK, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Australia and Croatia.

A champion I

among champions

t was way back in the early part of the 20th centur y when Jack Dempsey arrived on the boxing scene in America.

A young heavyweight, the product of bare fisted brawls in mining camps and hobo jungles, he would become the most spectacular and arguably the most loved champion in history, because he epitomised the ability of the fighting spirit to beat the odds.

The ‘Manassa Mauler’, as he was nicknamed, presented a figure of murderous fighting ferocity as he stood over fallen opponents after every knockdown. He would quiver and snort like a wild animal and his scowl was terrifying. Never in a boxing ring had anyone seen humanity stripped so bare of civilised pretense, and no more so than when he took on the world champion Jess Willard.

As the bell sounded for the first round Dempsey leaped from his corner like a tiger and shot a left hook to Willard’s ribs and by the time the round ended Dempsey had knocked the champion to the canvas seven times. He was still on the deck when the gong sounded to end the round, but the referee never heard it above the din so raised Dempsey’s hand as the winner. Dempsey leapt from the ring and was on his way to the dressing room when the error was noted and was called back. By the end of the third round Willard’s face was battered beyond recognition, standing defenseless before this human tiger, he was almost blind, and his face one mash from forehead to his chin as his seconds half-carried him back to his corner where they tried to revive him without success.

Jack Dempsey was now heavyweight champion of the world, but he would be involved in another controversial title fight and I doubt whether there will be another quite like the one in which Luis Firpo Continued on page 54
