CB Canarias

opportunities Lost T

he question as to whether CB Canarias would be able to take up their place in the top basketball league in Europe, was always in the balance.

Their most pressing need was to raise €4.5 million for the admission fee and bond required by the ACB. Hopes were dashed when the Canarian government refused to put in writing the amounts the club would be due to receive in the coming four years. Without that, the written promises

by La Laguna council and the Cabildo were not considered sufficient for the bank loan and it seems that a last ditch attempt to take out an expensive insurance policy to cover possible payment default also failed.

CB Canarias sadly admitted defeat. A merger between CB Canarias and Tenerife Baloncesto should have gone through over a year ago and fans are critical of the Cabildo for not forcing Tenerife to comply with the merger conditions. Had the merger happened Canarias would not have had to fork out the admission fee to the ACB but could have used the one deposited by Tenerife years ago.

The loss means that teams of the ilk of Madrid and Barcelona, and their substantial fan base, will not be visiting the island in the near future. Another opportunity lost, for the players, the club, the fans and the Islands.

he British Consulate in the Canaries has announced major operational changes, effective of 1 July under the banner of A New Direction.

In a press statement, the Consulate affirmed, “we seek to improve the way in which we serve both British residents and tourists and recognise the need to adapt to meet the challenges of the current economic and social climate.

The focus of Consular work in the future will be on providing additional support to victims and preventing the consular cases of the future. We need to allow Consular staff to dedicate more time to victim support, emergency assistance cases, and outreach work.

“To this end, we will be moving all non emergency and non-time sensitive work to our Consulates in Las Palmas and Santa Cruz and delivering these services to the public on specific days only. Our current surgeries on Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and the south of Tenerife will be replaced with regular outreach visits to these areas.”

for the Canaries said, “we need to adapt our opening hours for non-emergency enquiries to allow our staff the time to dedicate to those most in need. Up until now, the staff dealing with these cases

could be interrupted at various stages by customers requiring certificates or making general enquiries. The new arrangements will allow consular staff to concentrate front line resource on outreach

work, emergency assistance cases and victim support.”

As a result of the changes public opening hours from 1 July will be limited to Tuesdays and Fridays, 8.30am to 1.30pm.

Bank rescue

Guests wear special glasses to watch the event

As we go to press, the financial community in Spain was still waiting for details of the €100,000 million rescue plan drawn up and agreed the previous weekend to help Spanish banks out of the doldrums.

A

t the time of Queen Victoria’s reign, it was said that the sun never set on the British Empire, here in Tenerife there is a place where it would appear to set twice.

On just one day of the year, on June 21, at the summer solstice in the Parque Etnográfico Piramides de Güímar, the way the pyramids are lined up, if you stand in a particular spot, the sun sets, reappears and then sets again

– weather permitting of course. Always worth a visit, the parque is particularly interesting at this time as they also have a series of talks as part of the Thor Heyerdahl travellers’ school and of course there is their spooky new poisons garden to enjoy, as well as the permanent exhibition to explain the phenomenon of the pyramids which are housed in the extensive grounds.

Off peak days discount

President Rajoy had still not made the details clear four days later. The lack of information and his refusal to instigate an investigation into what had gone wrong with certain banks which needed the aid, kept the financial markets uneasy and the risk premium over 520.

New call centre

1.000 jobs

irlines flying to the Canaries from the Spanish mainland are to be encouraged to schedule flights on non-busy days in return for generous landing fee discounts.

T

The Spanish government confirmed yesterday that it had modified new legislation on the fees to insert the incentive, which lists specific days on which flights will benefit from the lower charges. The idea is to persuade airlines to add flights to Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura on Tuesdays, Lanzarote on Wednesdays and Tenerife South on Thursdays. Flights to La Palma on any day will be eligible for the 50 per cent discount.

The news was given by the company’s chairman yesterday after a meeting with Canarian president Paulino Rivero. A decision will be taken by the end of the month on the location of the new centre, which will handle enquiries from Telefónica’s customers in the Canaries and, possibly, in parts of Latin America also. Around 400 jobs should be filled by the end of 2012 and the remaining 600 next year, says the firm.

Refreshing

Reality television celebrity star Chloe Sims will not forget her recent flight to Tenerife in a hurry.

The star from The Only Way Is Essex complained to low-cost airline Ryanair after derogatory and lewd comments about her were posted on Twitter by an off-duty pilot during the flight from London Stansted to Tenerife.

The 30-year-old was about to depart with her young daughter Madison on the Sunday flight when Ryanair pilot Mick Roche, who was sitting near her, began posting a series of tweets informing Twitter users that he was dreading the long trip, “sitting beside Chloe from Only Way Is Essex.

Details of the tweeted exchanges were published in the Daily Mail, which also reproduced an angry letter from Chloe’s agent slamming the behavior of the pilot. Ryanair responded that it was “not responsible for the behaviour of off-duty crew”.

As Canaries CC managing director, Ángel Fernández Viñas, explained, “all Canarians feel affection and sympathy for the island. We’ll be inviting everyone on all the other islands to send messages of support and solidarity”.

Celebrating 60 years of Queen Elizabeth II H

undreds of government, business and civil society representatives joined the British Embassy in Madrid to mark The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee At the climax of the four-day weekend of Diamond Jubilee celebrations in the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Ambassador to Spain, Giles Paxman and Mrs Ségolène Paxman welcomed more than 500 guests to their official residence in Madrid to celebrate 60 years of unfailing ser vice by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. An exhibition of portraits of HM The Queen by royal photographer Sir Cecil Beaton, Andy Warhol and well-known British artists demonstrates the changes in the relationship between The Queen and the British people over 60 years, and sheds light on how the United Kingdom has transformed itself into the energetic, dynamic and globally connected society it is today.

During the Queen’s reign, Britain has renewed its reputation as a world leader in science, engineering, finance and design. At the same time it has preserved its extraordinary heritage and fostered its tight bonds with many nations across the world. It is this combination of innovation and tradition that sums up a country that will, this summer, welcome people from all over

Education >> Outstanding bills

School year chaos

Councils begin to T pay

Towns in the Canaries may be experiencing a mini-boom in business thanks to what appears to be good progress made on payment of longstanding bills by local government.

As reported in a previous edition, one of the mechanisms imposed by the new Rajoy administration in Spain to kickstart the economy was an order to all town halls to settle arrears owed to suppliers and service-providers. The councils were forced to submit full details of all outstanding bills as at 1 January 2012 and seek soft loans to pay them as of 31 May or risk having their funding cut by 50 per cent.

Initial reports indicate that many small firms have already been paid at least part of the arrears. Santa Cruz council said it has begun payment of over 3,000 bills to hundreds of local companies and was confident that the release of the money would ease the plight of many who were in danger of folding, while also injecting cash into the city economy.

Adeje reports that it has taken out a €6 million loan to comply with the instructions received from Madrid.

Among the interesting anecdotes to emerge in the ‘settle-up’ process are several bills for services to Arona council dating back to the summer of 2007 which had still not been paid.

Meanwhile, Telde in Gran Canaria was discovered to have the biggest single outstanding bill among all Spanish town halls, a whopping €13.2 million owed to a property developer for land bought back by the council after the original sale had to be cancelled for legal reasons.

Insurance claims

Muggings fraud

he school year is not over yet but warnings are already being sounded that the return to the classrooms in September could be chaotic as the effects of cost-cutting by the Department of education make themselves felt.

A noticeable rise in false muggings in Tenerife to claim insurance is interpreted as another sign of the economic doldrums, as people turn to unorthodox methods of raising cash.

The alert has been sounded by parents’ associations who are already mobilising to force a change of heart by the authorities. “We are back to where we were almost 30 years ago in terms of meeting requirements and the situation is likely to worsen as recruitment is slashed over the summer and class sizes increase” said Candelaria Morales, a spokesperson for a new body

Police on the island say up to a fifth of all muggings reported are totally fake and the number is on the increase. Five cases so far this year have led to prosecutions, including one where the ‘victim’ had made similar claims elsewhere for exactly the same purpose.

Out of school activities and early reception schemes are expected to be hard hit

set up to coordinate actions by the associations. According to the parents, who are supported by teachers in their demands, it is likely that school canteens will be cut significantly, along with out of school activities,

due to the lack of funding. Also at risk are the popular early-reception schemes operated by many primary schools to allow working parents to drop their youngsters off up to an hour before classes start.

laya Santiago is the only beach on the island of La Gomera to be given the right to fly the European Community Blue Flag, for the second year running.

ell-known Canarian politician, Jerónimo Saavedra, visited La Gomera on a fact-finding mission in his capacity as Diputado del Común de Canarias, or public defender.

“We get in touch with the insurance companies if we believe the report to be false and let them know we are investigating the com-

plainant”, said a police source.

Most of the false reports are for alleged thefts of expensive mobile phones, digital cameras, iPods and jewellery.

The phenomenon is usually associated with holidaymakers, many of them British, who file a police report shortly before returning home in the hope that they can claim on their insurance.

However, a growing number of Canarians also appear to be turning to the fraud to raise money, judging by the latest figures.

Police have issued a reminder that making false reports can render the culprit liable to up to two years in prison if convicted.

Internet

Privacy battle A woman from Tenerife may well have opened the door to major changes in the availability of personal details on the Internet.

The woman launched proceedings against the Canaries’ Official Journal (BOC), the publication in which all official notices are published in the region, after it failed to remove details of her divorce in 2010.

The Journal published in its paper version the court decree bringing her marriage to an end and subsequently included the details in its digital version. As a result, anyone who typed in the woman’s name on Google or a similar search engine could see the ruling.

After failing to persuade the government to remove the information from Internet, the woman took her case to Spain’s Data Protection Agency, which

backed her request and has ordered the Journal to remove all traces of the divorce details from the web.

Legal experts say the decision, along with similar ones by the Agency of late, is certain to prompt a flood of requests from people who do not wish to be accessible on the Internet.

At present, thanks to the Official Journals, a Google search in Spain of a name or an ID/NIE card number is likely to throw up details such as fines and summonses issued to the person or any outstanding debts owed to public bodies.

While the Agency does not dispute the right of the authorities to publish such details, it says that techniques such as web indexing make the information available to a much wider public than originally intended and can infringe the person’s right to anonymity.

Bank Clients Suffer >>

Bankia fall-out Approximately two thousand clients of the Las Palmasbased Caja de Canarias bank in Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are feeling the effects of the share plunge taken by its parent bank, Bankia in the last few months.

The customers say they were persuaded to take out preferential stock in the bank in aggressive marketing campaigns several years ago and were convinced that the interest on the stock was guaranteed.

However, according to the La Opinión newspaper and other regional media, clients have been informed that that there will be no pay-out until Bankia becomes profitable again, a prospect that looks increasingly remote at present and for the near future. Bankia continues to feature in the world financial headlines, including Britain’s Financial Times, as a result of its severe bail-out crisis, which saw its market value plummet by over 70 per cent in the first five months of the year.

Reports here say that La Caja de Canarias is unable to pay out €630,000 in respect of three supposedly fixed-interest issues of preferential stock sold to Canarian customers since 2004.

According to Pérez, the regional government has yet to draw up the much-promised plans for renewable energy production plants at strategic locations across the island.

Herreños are taking action to protect their transport links

E

l Hierro’s politicians are making headlines with their recent militant action. The smallest of the Canary Islands has a reputation for cooperative effort and united action, characteristics sadly lacking on other islands, where the fine old traditions of barbaric, divisive politics and total apathy in the face of difficulty, blatant injustice and corruption, reign.

A leap of the most fertile of imaginations is needed to try to envisage politicians from Tenerife or La Gomera agreeing to board a boat together, even for a bit of pocket lining and nest feathering, such seems their mutual fear and loathing.

The whole sorry crew getting together to actually organise a protest, which is exactly what the Herreños are doing, is inconceivable.

As recently reported in this newspaper, El Hierro’s Cabildo, Chamber of Commerce and student and residents’ associations have complained for some time about worsening sea and air communications, calling on the Gobierno de Canarias and national Government to intervene in what they regard as a serious problem. The hysterical reaction to volcanic activity on the island last winter effectively wiped out income from tourism, to make matters worse.

Regional government, very near financial implosion and far too busy keeping its chin above water to intercede, has done nothing. National gover nment, enmeshed in much the same scenario, but on a bigger scale, has done even less. So the Herreños, who had been losing patience for some time, have taken action.

First, in an inspired bid to embarrass authorities into sending promised funds their way, they very publicly asked Venezuela for help on the ba-

Transport links protest

Taking action

By Barbara Belt sis that many islanders have families there. Politicians have famously thick skins and, after the predictable flurry of further promises prompted by Venezuela’s proposed help, nothing at all has changed for the better.

In fact, both the economic and transport situations have considerably worsened.

Both fer r y companies ser vicing the island, Olsen and Naviera Ar mas, had already drastically pruned the number of daily crossings, making life increasingly difficult for the islanders, who must travel to Tenerife for hospital, and official appointments and for further and higher education.

EEC money previously funded such fine notions as positive discrimination for Europeans in isolated, or peripheral areas. There were increased transport subsidies and other palliative measures to combat the effects of poten-

tially isolated living, but only while the money lasted. And now it has run out. El Hierro previously enjoyed reasonable ferry connections, with three sailings a day offered by both companies and connections to La Palma and La Gomera, as well as to Los Cristianos. It took time to get there of course, as befits an island that was once the zero degree meridian point and considered the edge of the known world, but get there you could.

As the economic crisis deepened, ferry companies increased the cuts in service.

Without fuel subsidies and with fuel prices up, no tourism and an island population of eight thousand, of which only a small percentage need to travel at any one time, these fuel hungry vessels are far too expensive to run at a profit. Transport to the island was down to six crossings a week four with

Armas and two with Olsen following a problem with one of their vessels.

The recent announcement

by Naviera Armas that they would be completely withdrawing ser vice from El Hierro was “the straw that broke the camels back” and, “totally unacceptable to all Herreños”, according to Cabildo head Alpidio Armas.

“We have no option now but to take action. We’re totally fed up. Six months of negotiations with regional government for nothing. How are we supposed to manage with sixties communications. Islanders emigrated in their thousands then. Nobody wanted to be cut off, and neither do we now.

How are our students supposed to get to University, how do we get to hospital? We refuse to take this laying down”, he said.

And they didn’t.

The future in Dentistry CLÍNICA ESTÉTICA DENTAL

The incident that exhausted ever ybody’s patience occurred at the end of May when twelve lorries carrying essential, perishable supplies were denied passage from Tenerife to El Hierro because there was no room for them on the Armas boat.

Frustrated, drivers made calls to the Cabildo in Valverde for help, word travelled and soon a group of about a hundred angr y protesters gathered to wait for the arrival of the Armas boat at the island’s main port, La Estaca.

Their mission was to protest about the refusal to allow the lorries on board and the withdrawal of ferry services.

They blocked the boat ramp, preventing unloading.

At this point, fifteen island politicians went aboard, “to speak to the captain”. Among them were president Alpidio Armas, vicepresident Atilano Morales and Valverde’s mayor, Agustín Padron of the conservative PP party and Frontera’s mayor David Acosta, national MP Nar way Quintero and regional MP Javier Morales, all of the AHI party.

After two hours of talks passengers were disembarked, but cargo destined for the island was still on board when the boat sailed for Tenerife, via La Gomera, with the politicians still on board.

The captain denounced the politicians as stowaways to the Guardia Civil, but on arrival in La Gomera the group disembarked briefly to buy tickets and then lined up on deck for press photographs.

Alpidio Armas went down once to the car deck for photos and the boat left for Los Cristianos, politicians and all.

A call to Her reños in Tenerife to get to the port as quickly as possible to support their politicians netted a consid-

erable number, who helped the fifteen prevent the boat from unloading and loading, causing a five hour delay.

Under the rallying cry, “Decent Transport for El Hierro”, Alpidio Armas announced his intention to stay aboard until a lorry driver arrested for trying to block the boat ramps was released and that all Día de Canarias festivities on El Hierro were cancelled, as “there is nothing for us to celebrate until this situation’s resolved”.

Despite calls for, “sanity and calm”, from regional transport Minister Domingo Berriel and General Director Rosa Dávila, the united, militant front presented by the island’s politicians, regardless of party, looks set to continue.

Naveira Armas renewed connections twice a week, “for the public, not the politicians” according to a spokesperson, and free transpor t was offered as a peacekeeping move over the first weekend for island residents, but the Herreños are not satisfied and insist that a minimum six days a week service is essential to the island’s wellbeing.

The Regional President, Paulino Rivero, has promised action and announced in his blog that they are on the point of coming to an agreement with transport companies insisting that in the general interest, “we are under an obligation to guarantee maritime and air connections in all of the islands” and adding that “the general interest is of more importance than business interests”.

Dávila announced that the cost of under writing the routes to El Hierro and La Gomera last year was €5.7 million, which doesn’t include €707,000 still owed to Naviera Armas for the El Hierro route from October to April this year.

Grapes and wine

If previous fiestas organised by this tiny north eastern town are anything to go by, it will be a hit, financially and socially.

Parties, competitions and wine tastings are on the agenda so far and local bars and restaurants will be encouraged to join in and offer special dishes for the whole of the month during the September festival.

Given the success of their tapas route in April, which attracted over 1,400 people, who between them spent €80,000 in the town’s bars and restaurants, much persuasion is unlikely to be necessary. Visitors to the town in April drank 3,000 litres of the local wine and ate almost 30,000 tapas during the month’s promotion.

Sad loss F

riends, family and the Anglican community in the Canaries are mourning the loss of Father Keith Gordon.

A resident of Callao Salvaje, Father Keith died after losing his battle with cancer. Bishop David Hamid said, “I am grateful to all who were with Father Keith at the end, and that he was surrounded at the last by his family, parishioners and brother priests who ministered to him.

It is very sad news indeed. He faced his cancer with bravery and always with an optimistic good humour. He fought a good fight. We shall all miss him dearly.” The funeral took place in San Eugenio on June 6 and was presided over by the Very Reverend Dr John Paddock (Dean of Gibraltar).

An online condolence book has been opened and tributes continue to arrive at the St Francis Anglican Chaplaincy,

Theft

Cheesey steal

where he was a very popular figure and friend for many.

A lorry which was emptied of its contents as the driver was delivering to a shop in Los Cristianos was probably being monitored by the three men who made off with the tasty haul, say police in the resort.

In one of the most unusual thefts to be investigated here in recent times, the trio helped themselves to 60 kilos of cured ‘serrano’ hams and expensive cheeses as the delivery man completed paperwork in the supermarket near the Arona Gran Hotel on Avenida Juan Carlos I. According to local media, witnesses described how the three men calmly filled the boot and back seat of their white Opel Corsa with the products from the lorry, which

had been left unlocked outside the supermarket.

Police believe the men knew exactly what they were looking for and had bided their time until the opportunity arose.

Name gaffes

The opening of the special TSO concert under the baton of guest English conductor Jonathan Webb featured the famous Orb and Sceptre written by William Walton (1902-1983).

However, in the advance publicity sent out to local media ghostly gremlins changed the name to Orb and Spectre and,

in a separate release, to Orb and Sculpture.

The names were reproduced unwittingly in all the local Tenerife papers. The evening itself, which coincided with the big weekend of Jubilee celebrations in Britain and the smaller versions organised by ex-pats here, was a resounding success.

Several prominent members of the British community received personal invitations from the Tenerife Cabildo to follow the concert from the Auditorium’s VIP box with the corporation’s president, Ricardo Melchior, and British Consul to the Canaries, Maria Leng.

Join in the fun of one of the Islands’ most enchanting fiestas

Día de San Juan Fire, water and pagan festivities

J

oin in the fun on June 23 and 24 to celebrate Midsummer Day with the Fiesta de San Juan.

One of the wonderful things about living in, or visiting, the Canary Islands is the opportunity to join in some of the wonderful traditions and festivals.

Once upon a time the day of San Juan (St. John the Baptist) was the most widely celebrated event in the Canary Islands and many of its ancient practices still continue to this day.

It is, in fact, celebrated all over Europe as Midsummer Day, the longest day of the year. The day itself is actually on June 21, but since the Middle Ages, it’s been celebrated wholeheartedly between that date and the 24th.

The local beliefs pivot on three basic ideas: the importance of medicinal plants, especially in relation to health, youth and beauty; the protective

character of fire to ward off evil spirits and witches and, finally, the purifying, miraculous effects of water.

For the islands’ original inhabitants, the day marked the start of the New Year and was known as the Sun Festival. It is the start of summer, yet the middle of the growing season, the time of the first harvest of plants sown in early spring.

Moder n celebrations do indeed start off with a ver y har vest festival like theme.

From June 22 public fountains are decorated with branches, a tradition called the Enrame de Los Chorros, and residents celebrate the fecundity and prosperity which these sources of water contributed to, by adding flowers and unripe fruit and vegetables. Medicinal plants are collected, which are often arranged in bunches and hung in doorways after being dipped

in water. The festivities truly begin on the night of June 23, the eve of the day itself, and the air on that evening is full of mystery, spirits and superstition.

Bonfires are lit throughout the islands, in the mountains and especially on the beaches, to scare away witches and bad influences. Occasionally, a dummy is placed at the top of the fire, representing a witch

or the devil. The fires mark the end of an era and the ritual welcoming of new beginnings.

Unwanted items are burnt to ashes, leaving room for the new.

The purifying effect of the flames is also supposed to cleanse the soul, and bad experiences and negative influences are exorcised. Later on in the night, when it is relatively safe

do so, many will jump over the bonfire, for good luck and to prevent illness in the coming year. Farmers give thanks for their harvest and ceremonies and rituals are performed by those hoping to find their fortune or meet their true love.

People’s innermost sentiments and desires are voiced out loud and placed into the hands of those indefinable energies that can’t be seen or heard but which are still believed in. Even many of the non-believers still try their hand, “just in case”.

The San Juan eve parties can be enjoyed in towns and villages throughout the whole of the Canary Islands. There will be huge bonfires, music and dancing, feasts and, of course, fireworks.

In Gran Canaria the main fiesta will be in Las Palmas, although most of the old towns, like Telde and Arucas, as well as tourist resorts like Mogán and Arguineguín will play host to a celebration.

In Tenerife, the best will be held in the old town areas of La Laguna and on the beach at Puerto de la Cruz, where there is usually a concert staged.

Santa Cruz will also be alive with the magic and, again, resorts such as Los Cristianos will hold their own festivities. Visitors to the El Puertito beach in Adeje can usually revel in the sight of thousands of tiny boats, made from banana leaves and other biodegradable materials and lit with night lights, sailing off towards the horizon.

The tide is thought to carry the boat maker’s dreams to an idyllic place where they will be transformed into reality. Playa de San Juan, in the southwest, always celebrates their saint’s day in style of course, with a

monster fire and party. Then at precisely midnight many hundreds of people throw themselves into the sea for the ritual cleansing, just as they do in many other areas of the archipelago.

The Día de San Juan celebrations stem from Pre-Christian times, when many types of rituals did indeed include the use of fire and water, and on the morning of the twenty-fourth the water rituals continue with the bathing of the goats.

Puerto de la Cruz is one of the best places to see this tradition.

Early in the morning hundreds of goats are brought down from the surrounding mountains to the fishing harbour near Plaza de Charco square. They are brought to be bathed in the sea as part of ancient fertility rites. Bleating and kicking, one after another, they are taken into the bay, immersed in the ocean, and then led gently out again, protesting loudly at the indignity.

It’s a sight you’re not likely to see very often and is extremely entertaining. The bathing goes on until midday and somehow everyone seems to get wet – the goats, the farmers and many of the fascinated crowd. This is followed by the inevitable party, but the revelling traditionally served a much greater purpose than it would seem - it was a time for highland farmers and their coastal-living mariner neighbours to get together, form friendships and alliances, do business and meet possible future loves.

Nobody knows just how long this tradition has been taking place, though early chroniclers of Gran Canaria tell how Guanche women would bathe in the sea as part of their fertility rites.

Whatever your beliefs, it is well worth visiting one of the festivals and becoming immersed in the fun, quite literally maybe, if you fancy a dip in the sea to cleanse away the troubles of the last year and make way for a more promising future.

The first Almond and Volcano Trail Run will take place on June 23.

The race will be split into two different categories. The first is 13 kilometres long and will traverse the mountain paths around Montaña Bilma and Valle de Arriba areas.

The second is 24 kilometres long and will continue on through Las Manchas and Arguayo. Both trails will start from the square in Santiago del Teide. It costs €15 to take part in the shorter run and €20 for the full length race and you can sign up at www. deportesantiagodelteide.com until June 17.

to find lodgings or offer rooms for rent in their own houses. There is accommodation advertised from all over Spain and direct links to the official pages of all Spanish universities are provided. There is also a chat room for sharing ideas, resolving any worries or doubts and for finding useful information on distant towns and cities.

The chat service can also be used like any social net-

Unanimous opposition

No to substation G

uía de Isora authorities recently opposed the installation of an electricity substation in the Los Pajales area.

All of the area’s political parties were unanimous in their opposition to the application put in by REE, the Spanish Electricity Network. The company proposed the installation of a transformation substation and the upgrading of the lines, also to 66 kilowatt, that run from Chio to Los Olivos, Icod de los Vinos and the town of Guía de Isora.

One of the main reasons for the decision was cited as the fact that the State Plan for 2008 – 2016 does not include

the creation of that type of infrastructure. Yet another nono is that the requested area of land is classified as urban and therefore this type of construction is strictly prohibited.

REE argue that the work is necessar y as part of the infrastructure that will form a section of the system that, it is said, will eventually bring energy from the main station at Granadilla, solving once and for all the southwest’s energy needs. However, the authorities in the borough referred REE to the recent Royal decree which clearly states that all work of this kind is categorically suspended in the Los Pajales area.

Forest fire

The first big blaze of the year in Gran Canaria was brought under control after an eight hour battle by firefighters.

Fire teams and emergency services from several towns on the island fought to contain the fire in woodland in San Mateo. Helicopters dumped thousands of gallons of water from the air to put out the flames, which at one stage looked as if they would spread in several directions.

The blaze began at lunchtime and was eventually brought under control late into the evening.

The causes of the fire are being investigated. Around 80 hectares of forest have been destroyed, say government sources.

The growing presence of Bangladeshi nationals in Gran Canaria since last year attracted the interest of the authorities and police were tasked with monitoring the activities of a number of individuals thought to be operating a human trafficking network.

The immigrants arrived on merchant ships calling into Las Palmas but were then helped to jump ship and make their way to Madrid using fake passports provided in return for large sums of money. The group also arranged marriages of convenience with women from Gran Canaria, who travelled to Bangladesh for the ceremony and accompanied their new husbands to the Canaries. In addition to the Bangladeshis, at least two Iranians are believed to have benefited from the racket. Simultaneous raids

Hot fashion hit I

n times of clawbacks and budget reductions, it’s a pleasure to see that Gran Canaria’s fifth Moda Cálida catwalk show of swimwear is bigger and better this year.

The island council has managed to maintain it’s budget of €600,000 this year and the private sponsorship has increased to €200,000, €800,000 total investment which the organisers expect to see returned by more than double with the value of the repercussion in national and international press and

Internet.

This year’s event has been extended to two days, June 22 and 23 and will have 42 models, 32 female and 10 male including some children. Outfits being shown will be from local designers from the Moda Cálida brand and national and international top designers.

he founder of the Loro Parque, Wolfgang Kiessling, is studying the offer of land in El Pedrazo according to the tourism councillor for San Bartolomé de Tirajana, Ramón Suárez.

The park proposed for the south of Gran Canaria will cover over 200,000 square metres. The land they have been offered is apparently near to Soneland, between the motorway and the road

A Gran Canaria bank manager is set to go to jail after admitting in court that he syphoned over a million euros from client accounts at his branch in Vecindario.

The thefts were carried out over a period of 16 years by the senior employee of the Caja Insular de Ahorros bank but were only detected in 2008 during an internal audit.

During his trial in the Las Palmas Criminal Court last week, the exmanager, who said he had needed the money to look after two disabled relatives, admitted all the charges and promised to pay back the money stolen. The bank has had to refund a total of €1.3 million to 34 of its clients whose accounts were regularly manipulated. Sentencing will take place later in the month.

leading to the Maspalomas lighthouse. The land is currently in the lands of various owners, one of which is the island council, and according to Suárez, satisfies all the conditions to build the park there. If all goes well, work on the new park, which would mean many jobs for the area as well as a very important addition to the tourism facilities on offer, could start early in 2013.

It’s not the first plot to be looked at, several others have been under consideration, including an area of rustic land in El Veril ravine.

Debts run up by Telde council in Gran Canaria looked as if they would result in the town’s police cars being garaged definitively due to a lack of fuel.

The local filling station that supplied the fleet of patrol vehicles decided it had had enough of waiting to be paid and banned employees from filling the tanks. The garage owner warned the council over a month ago that, unless it paid the €64,000 bill which had accumulated since the beginning of the year, he would bar the patrol cars and motorcycles.

The dispute, which saw vehicles unable to fill up for a few days, could have had disastrous consequences but a deal has now been struck with oil firm Disa to allow the council credit at its stations until a tender can be organised to cover the service for the next four years.

T

he sterling interest rate has been held at the all time low of 0.5 per cent for over three years, and many savers have been earning negative real rates of return.

According to Bank of England figures in March, over £100 billion was sitting in bank accounts not paying any interest. Savers have been waiting for rates to improve, but instead the International Monetar y Fund has recommended that they are cut lower.

International Monetary Fund director, Christine Lagarde, presented the IMF’s annual assessment of the UK’s economy on May 22, and called on the Bank of England (BoE) to do more to support the economy.

The IMF assessed that although monetary stimulus had benefited the economy, the overall outlook remains weak.

It urged the Bank to consider cutting interest rates even lower than 0.5 per cent to reduce the cost of borrowing and boost private sector investment. It also recommended extending the quantitative easing (money printing) programme.

13

Could UK interest rates be cut to zero?

Minutes of the BoE’s May monetar y policy meeting, which was held before the IMF assessment, now reveal that the committee acknowledge that, “there was a case for injecting further monetary stimulus”.

Zero per cent is not unprecedented in the developed world.

The US Federal Reserve Bank has held US rates at between zero per cent and 0.25 per cent since December 2008 and plans to keep them near zero until late 2014.

While a cut in UK interest rates is the last thing savers need, others have welcomed the suggestion. A senior economic advisor to the Ernst & Young Item Club, Andrew Goodwin, described cutting interest rates from 0.5 per cent as, “certainly a good place to start”.

Inflation can have a significant impact on your savings, especially when interest rates are low. On May 22, Moneyfacts.

co.uk highlighted the dangers of inflation, saying that inflation has wiped almost 10 per cent of the value of UK savings over the last five years. £10,000 deposited five years ago, would today have the spending power of just £9,208, even after inter-

est (based on an average rate), allowing for inflation and 20 per cent tax.

A basic rate UK taxpayer needs to earn 3.75 per cent interest a year to keep pace with rising prices, while those paying 40 per cent tax need 4.99

per cent. However the average no-notice savings account only pays 1.15 per cent interest.

These calculations are based on the official rate of inflation, but everyone’s personal inflation rate is different, depending on what you spend your money on. Five per cent inflation can halve the value of capital within 15 years.

To quote Warren Buf fet, writing in the New York Times a few years ago, “today people who hold cash equivalents feel comfortable. They shouldn’t.

They have opted for a terrible long-term asset, one that pays virtually nothing and is certain to depreciate in value.”

We all want to preserve our wealth, and wealth preservation is about the investment of assets, which over the medium to longer term will protect the value of capital in real terms, i.e. after inflation and tax. Speak to an experienced wealth manager

like Blevins Franks to discuss wealth preservation strategies for your personal circumstances and objectives.

Currencies Direct

Future of Greece S

hould Greece stay or go, the Eurozone faces huge challenges ahead which are likely to impact upon growth both inside and outside the EU and impact upon the value of the single currency.

Trying to quantify the Eurozone crisis is a difficult job because the sheer range and scope of events that could transpire is so large.

At one end of the spectrum we have Greece remaining in the Eurozone, somehow getting back to pre-crisis government borrowing levels and everyone living happily ever after, constituting the best possible, but very unlikely, outcome.

At the other end of the spectrum is

a full scale Eurozone break-up; and we find ourselves back in financial crisis with the majority of European banks pushed back to the brink of insolvency.

What transpires will probably be somewhere in-between, but there are many combinations of outcomes that could come to pass.

The handling of the crisis to June 2012 has been depressing for the clarity seeking markets as we bump from summit to summit and EU dinner to dinner without anything concrete to solve the escalating mess. This lack of clarity has been the driving force behind a slumping Euro which has lost five per cent in value in May against the USD. David Cameron’s

calls for the EU group to make up or break up are not lost on the markets where uncertainty breeds fear.

A Greek exit of course would undermine the credibility of the Eurozone and the single currency. Losses on a Greek exit would certainly spread out and impact upon the remaining Eurozone members.

The key question is can a Greek exit be contained at its borders to limit losses or will the contagion effect significantly increase losses for other euro members and lead to a break up of the euro? In the event of a Greek exit it would be certainly likely that the Euro would suffer an initial period of

negativity as the financial markets fire fight the fallout, this of course could lead to full blown capitulation of the Euro. However, you would expect the EU group to do everything possible to stem contagion in the scenario of a Greek exit which should in turn protect the value of the Euro. The initial weakening of the Euro would actually be a welcome relief for the

EU group boosting export potential exactly when needed. If the EU leaders manage to pull a solution out of the bag involving Greece and essentially a fiscal union, then expect to see the Euro stabilise and potentially claw back towards €1.30 against the USD and to €1.20 against the pound but I do not foresee much strength beyond this.

Dr Chanut ::

Your questions answered Dental Aesthetics.

I

n this issue we will continue our discussion on dental aesthetics.

We will talk about people who have problems and dissatisfaction with their aesthetics - with a smile they don’t like and don’t know why. Perhaps it’s an ugly, dark tooth, little teeth, gums that are too visible, or dissatisfaction with the whole mouth which means they cannot look in the mirror because they don’t like themselves.

In edition 669, Dr Chanut explained how to examine what is wrong with your smile from an emotional, or subjective point of view. Here is his method for examining it from an objective angle.

The objective evaluation of your smile To make an objective analysis, the best way is to stand in front of a mirror.

Now, smile normally. Then, look in the mirror and remember some happy moments in your life and smile. This big smile is probably the biggest one you feel comfortable with and will last longer if you are happy with your teeth.

When you are happy with your smile, a big smile will appear much more spontaneously at all times and will help you to feel happy.

Journalist: What are the questions about an objective evaluation of your smile?

Dr Chanut:

1.

Are all the teeth bright white, or are some yellow, dark or stained?

2.

3.

4.

Do you have any spaces between the teeth?

Have you lost any teeth?

Have you any crooked, irregular or out of line teeth?

5.

Does the edge of your upper incisors follow the curve of your upper lip?

6.

Do any teeth appear short and stubby, small or two wide?

7.

Do any of the sides of the teeth seem longer or shorter in comparison with the others?

8.

The medical advance

Hands free surgery A new imaging system will make operations flow more easily.

A surgeon at Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospital in London is the first to begin trials of a new device that allows him to consult medical images without assistance or the need to halt surgery to rescrub.

The present procedure is to request a technical assistant to manipulate the image, e.g rotate one way or another, pan up and down or zoom in and out. Alter-

Manipulating the 3D image or placing a marker on the picture are the most common actions.

For these a one handed gesture is combined with voice commands, which leaves the other hand free when needed.

Other functions, such as panning or zooming, require two hands to control the image, but this still allows the surgeon more freedom and better concentration. It also saves time, a combination that makes for more efficient and safer surgical procedures.

arts of the latest addition to the Fast and Furious series will be filmed in the Canary Islands.

The popular action film will, as usual, be produced by Vin Diesel, who will also star in this sixth offering.

A team of 30 people have already been in Tenerife looking for locations. It is already known that much of the action will be centered in Santa Cruz and Puerto de la Cruz, with additional filming in the vicinity of the Tíncer High Performance Athletics Centre.

Filming is planned to start around the last week in July or the first week in August, when a team of over 200 people will arrive on the island. It is expected to continue for five

weeks, and a further week in Lanzarote has not been ruled out. Filming starts soon in London and Berlin with a crew that includes director Leslie Tomkins, already known in the movie industry for hits such as The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Batman and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The Fast and the Furious is a series of action films that focuses on street racing and heists. Produced

by Universal Studios, the series was established in 2001 with the eponymous first installment. For this sixth installment Paul Walker, Wayne Johnson, The Musical >> Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster will all step back into their previous roles, whilst newcomer Luke Evans will play the leader of a rival crew attempting to pull the same job as Vin Diesel and his gang. Fast and Furious 6 won’t be released until May 24, 2013, but the filming which will take place here in the archipelago is sure to entertain holidaymakers and residents alike.

Powerful British film noir starring Laurence Harvey as Miles Ravenscourt, an amoral, psychotic playboy who incites three men who are down on their luck (Richard Baseheart, John Ireland and Stanley Baker) to commit a mail van robbery, which goes badly wrong. With Margaret Leighton, Joan Collins, Gloria Grahame and Robert Morley. Directed

by Lewis Gilbert.

Written by Julie Welch, one of Fleet Street’s first female football writers. This is Welch’s story, opening at her first match. As she’s leaving the ground, an Irish voice offers her a lift. It is the immortal Danny Blanchflower and as she gets in the car, so the film goes back to 1961, when Spurs were pursuing the Double, and four girls, Julia, Toni, Jailbird and Tub dream of just one thing tickets to the FA Cup Final.

When Libby Parsons (Ashley Judd) goes sailing with her husband Nick (Bruce Greenwood), she’s shocked to wake up covered in his blood, with a gore-slicked knife beside her and no sign of her spouse. And when a Coastguard boat appears on the scene, things get even worse for her in director Bruce Beresford’s revenge thriller. Also starring Tommy Lee Jones.

Robert Zemeckis’s comedy-adventure stars Kathleen Turner as reclusive best-selling writer Joan Wilder. When Joan receives a message from her sister saying she’s been kidnapped in Colombia, she heads south to help her. Ending up stranded in the middle of nowhere, she bumps into adventurer Jack T Colton (Michael Douglas) who offers to help her.

The story centres on Helen, who’s fed up with life at her parents’ circus and desperately wants to get away. But one day she wishes her mother dead - and is mortified to see her cruel wish seemingly begin to come true. She realises that she’d do anything to retract her ‘curse’, but instead finds herself thrown suddenly into a surreal landscape that’s by turns beautiful, sinister and scary.

Warrant Officer Paul Brenner, a special investigator, is sent to Fort MacCallum where Captain Elisabeth Campbel has been found naked, strangled and spreadeagled on a training ground. To complicate matters, the victim is the daughter of the camp commander Lt General Joseph Campbell and Brenner is landed with an assistant, Warrant Officer Sara Sunhil, his ex.

Lewis Gilbert’s film, based on J M Barrie’s play, stars Kenneth More as the admirable Crichton, butler to Lord Loam (Cecil Parker) and his family. When, while cruising in the South Seas, they are shipwrecked on a desert island, his Lordship takes command but slowly it emerges that Crichton possesses the skills for survival.

In Adrienne Shelly’s bittersweet romantic comedy, Keri Russell plays Jenna Hunterson, a waitress and cook whose pies are loved by everyone in town.

She dreams of leaving her abusive husband Earl (Jeremy Sisto) but, when she falls pregnant by him, becomes resigned to her fate and cooks up yet another batch of pies, oblivious to the attentions of Dr Jim Pomatter (Nathan Fillion).

Denzel Washington plays Matt Whitlock, Chief of Police of a small Florida town.

He and his wife are divorcing so he starts an affair with Ann Merai Harrison . She’s married to the violent Chris Harrison and is suffering from cancer. She has an insurance policy worth $1m, but needs half to pay for treatment now. Whitlock ‘borrows’ it from recovered drugs money, but then his life gets messy.

RectoRy gaRden paRty Over a hundred people turned out to party in the rector y garden which saw some members of the Anglican congregation from the south travelling up to share in the fun.

The Consul sliced into another superb Union Jack cake and there were more patriotically inspired outfits with the vicar joining in the fun with a snazzy hat and a Union Jack belt.

On the last day of the local celebrations, the British Games Club organised a splendid and very colourful celebration in the idyllic surroundings of the orchid gardens of Sitio Litre.

Kelly and her family prepared and served an excellent menu of smoked salmon canapĂŠs, a choice of soups, a buffet including beef Wellington, a trio of puds and a takeaway lemon cake in a special Union Jack box. Entertainment and a singalong with Ian rounded off the day.

T

he eighth gastronomic festival in Vilaflor to promote the local potato was a bit of a disappointment this year.

Not, it must be underlined, from the point of view of the organisation over the weekend, but the participation, both from local restaurants and the public was lackadaisical.

The event includes various activities such as storytelling, guided wine tasting, night hikes and star guides and talks. However, for non Spanish speakers, the main events are the recreation of the charcoal burners’ art which takes place over the whole weekend and the gastronomic fair on the Sunday, where one of the Canaries’ top chefs, Juan Carlos González Pérez, prepares a number of ‘show’ dishes with some of his pupils, and local restaurants present a special dish, containing the local potatoes, which has been on their menu all month.

Of the 23 restaurants which originally said they would be taking part, only 14 eventually confirmed and even fewer of those supplied the number of agreed rations for the public tasting afterwards.

Carlos served some magnificent dishes, beautifully presented and explained, including some marvellous, bite-sized, fresh fruit and sponge squares with crème patissière which were snapped up, and all of course washed down with some wonderful local wines. The day was brought Nor was the information released in to a close, amongst old friends and time for publication in the foreign new, with a barbecue of Canarian press for foreign residents and visiblack pig and more local wine, in the tors, who have, in past years, made incomparably lovely surroundings up a large proportion of the viewing that Vilaflor is rightfully famous for. and tasting public.

However, Antonia Fumera Dorta catered for the volunteers with some great home cooking including the area’s famous Pringo, the charcoal burners were their usual amiable, hard working and entertaining selves, (this year with two younger apprentices which will hopefully mean that the fiesta will continue for many years to come), and Juan

Tomatoes and garlic, both basics of the Mediterranean diet, some of the most exquisite examples of these products can be found in Santiago del Teide. Until July 3, there is an ongoing promotion of the local tomatoes and garlic of el Molledo in 25 of the restaurants in the borough, with special dishes on offer.

e are delighted to welcome on board our volunteer gastronomic panel, Juan Carlos González Pérez, top chef and teacher of chefs.

Having dedicated the last 22 years of his working life as a teacher in vocational training schools, he still continues to investigate and develop his own techniques and recipes and cook for various specialist gastronomic fairs and cultural events as the continual feedback he gets from the public is very important to him.

Juan Carlos began his career studying at the training Hotel in Santa Brígida and over the years has worked in many of the archipelago’s top hotels and restaurants. He has attended courses all over Spain and in Italy and France and, apart from the vocational training courses, has also given, and continues to give, courses and demonstrations at gastronomic events all over the Canaries and on one occasion in Madeira for the various Islands’ authorities.

He is often to be found at the various events organised by the Tenerife Tourist Board preparing recipes from some of the island’s home-grown products, such as chestnuts, almonds, turrons, marzipans, and the reineta apple in traditional and

some surprisingly avant garde ways and has also given courses on jam and preserve making.

Like the top professional he is, Juan Carlos never stops working, learning and investigating and such is his love of his profession that he even takes his chef’s clothes with him on holiday and enters the kitchens to work alongside the hotel staff in preparing something special for the clients, whilst his family are around the pool.

Puerto de la Cruz

Tito’s Bodeguita

By John

with me breathing a sigh of relief, we are all back on the pavement. Money was firmly offered, and just as firmly refused. She zooms off, back no doubt, to her family fiesta.

Once again I am stunned at the generosity and service of local businesses here in Tenerife.

But on to dinner:

I

t is Canaries Day. Almost all of the shops and businesses are shut, and, with the lovely weather, everyone will be going to the beach. A mass migration.

Not so your scribe, who languishes in some pain with an ingrown toenail.

Little did I realise that this was going to lead me towards an excellent dinner, albeit by a somewhat convoluted route.

I had emailed my podólogo

(chiropodist) the day before and she emailed straight back reminding me that every business, including hers, would be closed. But since I am in pain, then she would open up at 6.30pm on Canaries’ Day just for me, as I am departing for England on the morrow.

On the dot, as I am pushing the bell to the surgery door, her car screeches to a stop, double parks, hazard lights flashing, and she opens up the surgery. Ten minutes later,

After all that, a quick drink in the Plaza del Charco is definitely needed and we decide that Tito’s Bodeguita sounds just the place for a restorative meal. A little out of town, this is a lovely old restored Canarian building on a sharp corner just off the TF5 autopista at Junction 35.

Lined up outside are taxis galore, disgorging a hungry populace, and it looks as though the place is going to be packed. There are two terraces and a large indoor room with bar. All the tables on the terraces are already taken, and, not wanting to eat indoors on such a lovely evening, we are resigned to being turned away.

But, just then, a table is vacated, and we swoop. We are two, the table is for four, but no matter, the staff smile accommodatingly and menus are brought. There is a nice level of choices here, not so many that you are convinced that a lot is going to have to be taken from the freezer.

Our waitress bustles about, all jeans and a ponytail, but smiling the while, and very professional.

Bread and a dip (Almogrote) is brought. The bread is out-

standing. The dip is made up of smoked red pepper, cheese, olive oil and a touch of garlic.

It is altogether excellent.

We decide on the octopus as our starter. This is really a dish large enough for two, and the octopus was meltingly tender, served layered as a tian topped with an orange jelly and fresh ginger.

If that sounds a bit different, then indeed it was, but I cannot wait to go back to sample it again. It was accompanied by an excellent salad of endive and lambs lettuce with cherry tomatoes, perfectly dressed and seasoned. We demolish the lot.

For the main course my wife opts for fish. She goes for the Cherne (wreck fish), lightly cooked. It was accompanied by a ratatouille, albeit rather heavy on the peppers for her. But then, we are in Spain.

Miss Ponytail is keen for me to have the rabbit, which she says is a house speciality. I succumb to her blandishments, and a plate heaped with Conejo en Salmorejo is put before me, surrounded by Papas Arrugadas. The rabbit just melted in the mouth, no knife was needed, and it was a portion larger than I could manage.

And, it was very, very, good.

The while, live music was being played behind us at the back of the terrace. I cannot remember what it was, but for me that is the plus point, nice music without being overly intrusive.

There was a party of local people nearby, and between them (including their well-behaved children) they seemed

to be going through the card.

Plates of Pimientos de Padron, Iberico ham, mixed cheeses etc., were being distributed as their starters, and everyone we was were clearly enjoying themselves.

At a secluded table for two, an elderly couple, romantically entwined, were working their way through – yes, the same octopus starter – followed by a steak of serious proportion, and a plate of Calamares a la Romana, served with a mountain of chips. I took my hat off to them.

We had no room for postres (desserts), and called for our bill. It came to €44.21 including IGIC and covered our two main courses, that large (main course sized) starter for two, a bottle of water, half a litre of red house wine and bread with that excellent dip.

My brief when writing this column is to include the good, the bad, and the ugly. But, in truth, I have nothing but praise

for this establishment. The food is good, the service is good, the setting and ambiance is good, and the price is reasonable. I cannot wait to go there again.

every day victories

Dear Dr. De La Flor

By Dr. De La Flor

Dear Dr. De La Flor,

If you’re fighting, you and I are doing well. We are growing on the inside, we’re planting the seeds of discipline and tenacity that are strengthening our character which eventually will pay juicy dividends. Please, don’t fall prey to the philosophy that not achieving something implies failure.

My par tner has been diagnosed with genital herpes. I don’t have symptoms. How likely is it that I’ve been infected, too?

Cheers,, Dave

Dear Dave, It’s tough to tell whether you too have been infected.

It depends on a myriad of factors; from safe sex, number of partners (if you have had them). Bear in mind that you could have been infected during even one unprotected encounter. Sounds improper, but luck counts too.

The symptoms of genital herpes are often subtle and easily mistaken for something else, (bug bites, pimples, razor burn, or even haemorrhoids).

What’s more, the virus can be contagious even when there are no symptoms. And to make your medical history a bit more uncertain, if you develop cer tain sexually transmitted conditions tomorrow, it might have been from a previous relationship (if you had one) and not your current spouse/partner.

Am I trying to give you a hard time? No, not really I’m simply tr ying to show you the least common cards of the deck.

While no prevention method short of abstinence is 100 per cent ef fective, using a latex condom offers some protection. Your partner/spouse should tell you when symptoms flare up, which is when the virus

ReSOLUTION: For the next two weeks, try to relish the myriad of small victories we all achieve, every single day.

If you’re a parent you’re already a hero

is most contagious. Avoid ‘fun’ when your partner has symptoms…

To find out if you have been infected, tell your GP to get you tested. Microscopic as well as blood tests will be performed.

There are two types of herpes viruses. The first type of herpes simplex virus, HSV2, almost always infects the genitals, so if antibodies to HSV-2 are detected in your blood, you probably have genital herpes. A blood test that shows antibodies to the other type of herpes virus, HSV-1, means you could have genital or oral herpes.

That’s because oral herpes, typically caused by HSV-1, can be spread to the genitals during oral sex.

Having genital herpes isn’t all that unusual. If you were to leave your partner to find someone else, you’d have nearly a one in five chance of meeting another man with genital herpes, or about a one in four chance of meeting another woman who is infected. For peace of mind,

find a GP that you trust and who shares your concerns and literally blast him/her with questions so that you can make sound, healthy decisions for your spouse and for yourself. Thanks for having the guts to ask and best wishes.

If, for example, you have a kid. Well, you’re much more of a heroine than you probably think; you are able and willing to sacrifice yourself in a dozens of menial details to make the life of your loved one better. Let’s celebrate all those wonderful details of self-sacrifice which are true signs of love, of inner quality, of heroic display in your daily routine.

Most days we are trying our best and that’s what it is all about. We are much more than a list of goals achieved, whether that was to reach a certain financial status, fit into a dream bikini, or own an impressive sports car. We exist, wake up daily and have the potential of a roaring tsunami. With a goal-oriented mind we can add love to dozens of menial tasks that can really transform ourselves and those that we encounter.

My prayers go to everyone in pain, physical, emotional or spiritual and a special prayer for all those unemployed.

Talk to you in a couple of weeks.

DENTAL CLINIC FAÑABÉ PLAZA

Look your best aesthetic medicine >

By Dr Carlos Viru:

C

hoosing an aesthetic medicine clinic

These days, more and more people have the desire to feel good about themselves, not just for who they are, but for the image they project to those around them. Our physical aspect is our calling card, however, the most reasons for treatment are the psychological benefits of increased self esteem and confidence when men or women use the latest progresses in this sector of health to improve their appearance.

To make sure you are in the hands of professionals, you should first ensure that the clinic you are looking at is registered with the Spanish Society of Aesthetic Medicine (www.seme.org/) which demands high standards for affiliation. Other vital checks are whether or not the clinic has a health authority licence to operate and that the person carrying out the treatment is a fully qualified specialist in his or her field. To do this you should check with the medical body in your province (www. cgcom.es/consulta/ colegiados).

Aesthetic medicine is gaining in popularity because unlike cosmetic surgery, which has no point of return, with aesthetic medicine the treatments are designed to last for a certain length of time so the face or the body of a patient are not aggres-

sively changed, improvements are more subtle.

The most popular treatments in my clinic are botox, Hialuronic acid filling and peelings, although there are many more such as teeth whitening, mesotherapy or varicose vein treatments.

With the increasing demand for beauty treatments, unfortunately there is also a growth in the number of clinics which do not meet even the minimum of requirements to guarantee safety and good results. For the good of your health, you should only place yourself in the hands of qualified professionals.

Doctor Carlos Viru is a fully qualified aesthetic doctor with a master’s degree from the University of Córdoba. If there is anything you would like to know about the medically supervised beauty treatments now available, please write to the doctor via Island Connections, marking your email Medical Beauty Consultation.

The white, natural silk dress was typical of the 20s vintage style of the firm, with a high halter neck finished with embroidered net and a hand pleated skirt.

Hi everyone, Katy column

he summer is almost here and the weather is truly lovely. We are so lucky to be able to live here.

It’s so nice to be able to sit on the terrace with a cool drink and a good book. And I’d like to thank Gerry Galvin, who took the time to go to the Eldon House Pub and leave me an autographed copy of his latest book The Tale Of An Irish Peasant. It’s a very good read, and I’m really enjoying it, especially as it begins with the recuperation of the hero, who has been in a coma after running with the bulls and being savagely injured, in Pamplona, Spain.

His first book, Killer A La Carte is given a five star rating on Amazon and is available on Kindle. Gerry was, and I suppose at times still is, when his writing permits, a distinguished chef and restaurateur, and his talented and very individual style of writing make this novel a riveting read. I must also thank Terry for bringing me a copy of Dance With A Stranger which outlines the Ruth Ellis story, after I wrote my column on her life story.

One hobby I’ve had all my life, long after the jogging, squash matches and weight training have bitten the dust, is to listen to wonderful music. Being a

Letters

‘Sixties’ Babe’ complete with white boots, long blonde hair, and tiny mini skirts, I still adore that special brand of music.

One of the first records I ever bought was by The Teddy Bears. In 1958, my last year at Grammar School, the song To Know Him Is To Love Him went to number one, and sold over a million copies. It was written by Phil Spector, and was inspired by the epitaph on Phil’s father’s tombstone who sadly had committed suicide four years previously. By the time he was 21, Phil was a millionaire.

He suffered badly from stage fright and after this success, and following the breakup of the group, in 1959, he decided to concentrate on the production side of the record industry.

He went from strength to strength, and became well known and in demand by many of the big name artists of the day, forming a record company with Lester Sill called Philles, a play on the two Christian names. One of the groups he signed was The Crystals.

They had hits with him, most famously Da Doo Ron Ron, Then He Kissed Me, and He’s A Rebel.

O

n Monday 21st May at The Perla Gris Hotel, Callao Salvaje I fronted a meeting for Friendly Connections Singles Group, this being the first.

It was attended by many people from Las Chafiras to Los Gigantes, who were greeted

by Kay Willis at the entrance.

I began the meeting informing everyone of the ideals of what I would like to come from the group, this being to open up their world by meeting new people and sharing their interests and receiving support from each other. I am very passionate about what I would

sound in the studio, and finally came up with his famous Wall of Sound, often doubling and tripling the same musical instruments in unison, as well as giving guitars a classical orchestra feel. He is quoted as saying he made his technique a, “Wagnerian approach to rock and roll, creating little symphonies for the teenagers”.

Spector was happiest in the studio, found it very difficult to make friends and was famously very temperamental. However, managing the famous female group the Ronettes was very important to him, and he eventually married Veronica ‘Ronnie’ Bennett.

This was his second marriage and only lasted six years, but they adopted three children.

All of these songs, produced

by Phil Spector, are on the Rolling Stone magazine’s, list of top 500 songs of all time.

In 1982 his girlfriend produced twins, a girl and a boy.

The boy, Phillip Spector Junior, sadly died of leukemia on Christmas day aged only nine.

Spector experimented with

The man himself is an enig-

These wigs were necessary after he went through the windscreen of his car following a crash in 1974. Had the policeman who arrived at the accident not detected a slight pulse, he would have been declared dead at the scene.

He suffered serious head injuries which necessitated several hours of surgery with over 300 stitches to his face and more that 400 to the back of his head. His biographer cites the accident as the reason he used the wigs.

Spector worked or collaborated with almost every famous artiste in the music world, but apart from his prodigious talent, seemed not to have endeared himself to any of them.

He was known to have many guns, and when drinking heavily as he often allegedly did, threatened people on a regular basis, according to several of his girlfriends, and colleagues. With all his wealth and fame, he never seems to have attained happiness.

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

like to do, which is to make others aware of the loneliness of singles whether it be through bereavement or divorce.

This has enabled me to set up a social network, and, as our new friends have already found out, it is all about them. The feedback already received has been extremely encouraging to make me pursue the venture to it’s full potential.

Fur ther meetings will be held the third Monday of each month, the next being Monday, 18th June 8pm at The Perla Gris, Callao Salvaje. Events on our calendar will include barbeques, golf driving range, learning to dance, fishing, walks and so on, which are new interests for most of the group.

See picture right

Aries (Mar. 21 – April 19) If your mind is filled with all the things it wants and needs, there can be no room for betterment. For happiness to enter, some of the debris must be cleared away. Let go of your attachment to the past, feelings of loss, or your old routine; move into the new and unknown. That is where you’ll find your opportunities now.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) Don’t bite off more than you can chew in your passion to go forward, or you will find things hard to swallow. The time is not right, and you are not ready or fully prepared. You will have luck in finding the right answers or making the right decisions. Summer sunshine makes the heart see things in a haze!

Gemini (May 21 – June 21) Someone will present you with a very enticing opportunity concerning your home or place of business that could open up a whole new vista or increase your income substantially. The choice will be up to you, what a way to welcome a new era in your life.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22) You have just completed a cycle of destiny, and a brand new cycle is about to commence. The present will have to evolve before it can be weighed or judged, and time will provide the key to the understanding that you need. About time you had something to look forward to.

Leo (July 23 – August 22) The first step in correcting a problem is to acknowledge the fact that you have veered off your course or are moving in the wrong direction. That recognition is enough to stop the momentum from continuing.

Steer a stable path.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22) In time your desire will be realized, and you will know that if someone is to return, they will come of their own accord. Wait until a clear direction is re-

vealed or what you really want arrives. Let go and let the universe take you.

Libra (September 23 – October 22) You will be completely absorbed in new projects and activities and if you have been estranged from a friend or loved one, you will be reunited or reconcile your differences. In the end you will triumph, and all matters will conclude successfully or to your satisfaction.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) Look at defects and correct them. Reform some of your ideas or attitudes, and choose from a ‘win’ point of view instead of ‘lose’. Don’t compromise or accept defeat; you’re too close to winning. Luck is on your side.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) You will consider yourself lucky because you have the ability to solve a problem by removing yourself from it or by remaining neutral and accepting it. Or, luck will be with you in a financial matter, bringing an unexpected bonus.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) Happiness can come from many sources, whether it’s one you’ve named or not. Life works in mysterious ways. You are going to be in the right place at the right time, and before your very eyes, a desire will be answered or a wish granted.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) Ask for what is rightfully yours, and continue to apply yourself to the work at hand. You will get what you want. You will have luck in obtaining the thing you worried about or asked for. Consistency is everything.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20) A situation will arise with one who will exert a great deal of power or influence over you. You will be steadfast in your goals or intention and, if challenged, will take up the gauntlet and win. Nothing will defeat you.

Live Arico news  Thanks this week go to

All involved in the joint fundraiser with the K9 Refuge at the end of May, at the Top Square, Golf del Sur. Hosted by Suzy Q there were many entertainers giving their time, including Colin Stevens, Robbie Dominic, Dave Ferry, Big Chris and the lovely Jan Monroe. A sponsored chest wax went on in Slippers bar swelling the funds.

We also thank the group who organised the Fiesta last month in El Rancho, Palm Mar. Unfortunately, due to some communication breakdown, we know that some of our supporters were not happy with the event, as it was not what they were expecting.

It is always strange when a third party offers to host a fundraiser, especially when our key people cannot be there to oversee events due to work commitments, but the event was staged with a good heart, and €200 was raised for our dogs. We apologise whole heartedly to anyone disappointed with the event, and hope you will continue to support our regular fundraisers. It is important to us that our fundraisers are enjoyed by all, but not always 100 per cent possible to ensure.

Jamie was born in Tenerife and speaks both English and Spanish. Realising his passion for horses, he commenced the long training of five years and two months in the UK to become a fully qualified Farrier, the dream was to return to Tenerife with this title. British Farriers are sought after worldwide because of the high standard that is required of them and the long apprenticeship which is carefully guided by the Farriery Training Agency in the UK, attending college as well as working full-time with an approved trained farrier.

Health warning > 26. With shock in a frock Crystal Star, Andy Phillips, Suzy q and guests, this will be a good one. Don’t miss it.

On the following Tuesday, July 3, we have Water Aid. Can you help us raise €980 to pay our refuge water bill? If so, join us for a night of fine dining and entertainment at Restaurant Maria, El Nautico Suites, Golf del Sur. Ticket prices and entertainment line up to be confirmed soon.

And, in the first week of August, they are back - The Gillian Banks Theatre School make a welcome return to our shores. Venues and dates to be confirmed, but after last Octobers epic events, raising over €3,000, we hope to repeat the success and give the lucky few another night to remember. Don’t miss out.

he suffering of a dog that had to be rescued by firemen after being left in a car for three hours recently in La Laguna, underlines something all pets’ companions should be aware of, heat can kill.

Temperatures inside a parked car can reach over 66ºC resulting in heat stroke and death. Leaving a window partially open will not solve the problem.

If your animal shows signs of rapid panting, twitching muscles, has a hot skin or a dazed look, it may be suffering from heat stroke. Bring its body temperature down rapidly using cool (not cold) water either directly or with soaked towels, applied to the chest, neck and head. A trip to the vet may save your animal’s life. Remember too that paws can be burned on hot sand or tarmac. Try and walk your animal in the early morning or evening and avoid the hottest part of the day.

Helpful tips for renting

• Make sure you take the best possible photos, during daytime, to really show off your property at its best. This is the first impression people will have, and it must be a good one. Consider hiring a professional photographer.

Renting may seem like the best, and in some cases only, option.

I

f you’ve tried and tried to sell your property but can’t (understandable in today’s market), renting may seem like the best, and in some cases only, option.

Renting can bring a series of benefits, but it can also be more trouble than it is worth, especially if you get the wrong tenants in. So you need to be very sure that you have the time and dedication necessary to assume the responsibility of becoming a landlord.

If you are sure that renting is for you, there are certain things you can do to increase, not only your chances of finding a tenant, but also getting the price you want or need to cover your costs (providing that price is realistic to begin with).

Here in the Canaries we are fortunate to offer that year round sunshine that makes year-round rental potential a very real possibility, so even if you can’t find resident tenants, you can use your advantage to the full by targeting holidaymakers in the UK or elsewhere.

When it comes to renting things such as location, close-

Renting to holiday makers

ness to public transport and amenities, price and presentation are important. You can’t change the location, however there are things you can do to make your property as appealing as possible.

• Get online and investigate the most popular sites for those looking for holiday accommodation. Don’t automatically reject a site that charges you to upload your property. An empty property will cost you much more if you have to pay the mortgage.

Give your property a makeover

• Even for a short term holiday rental, you should have a contract or you could end up with squatters that it will be very difficult to remove.

Before marketing your property, get it in tip-top condition.

With so much competition out there, potential tenants can be very picky, so you need to not give them an obvious reason to reject your house/flat.

• Fix anything broken. Leaky taps, broken chairs and cupboard doors hanging off from a hinge will not impress anyone. All windows and doors must open and close properly and all lights and kitchen appliances have to work.

• Get the cleaners in. Unless you really are an incredible cleaner, it is worth investing in the service of a professional to come and give the property a thorough clean up, including windows, blinds and any carpets, rugs or curtains you might have.

DIY >>

W

ith most of us feeling the pinch more than ever, anything that could help save money is welcomed.

We all know that sense of dread when we realise that something needs doing in the home, as we immediately start to calculate the cost of materials, labour, etc. So what better time to bring out that inner Handy Andy (or Anne) in all of us, and learn some useful DIY skills ourselves? In part one of our DIY Tiling guide, we will look how to get everything ready in preparation for laying the tiles, which we will explain in step-by-step points next issue.

Good luck, and get grouting!

DIY Tiling: Part 1 In order to have everything ready, you will need: • Your chosen tiles plus extra to allow for breaking and to have some spare • A good adhesive (waterproof for kitchen and bathroom areas, heatproof for fireplaces, areas near cooker, etc.)

• Grouting • Tape measure • Spirit level • Plastic tile spacers • Serrated adhesive trowel

• Tidy up. Declutter throughout, make sure the garden is neat and don’t leave any junk hidden in cupboards.

• Give the whole property a lick of paint to refresh it, inside and out if necessary.

• Parking is a huge bonus if you can offer it. It might be worth you renting a garage space if your property doesn’t have one (you can include it in the rental price). Tenants will really value not having to find

a solution themselves.

position possible.

• Wherever possible, go for neutral shades when it comes to paint and decorations.

White, cream and beige tones tend to appeal to everyone.

• If you can, try and target your search at long-term tenants, to save you the hassle of repeating the whole process in three months’ time.

Do your homework

• Choose who you market with very carefully, especially if you are only going with one agent. Make sure they know what they are talking about (many don’t) and see what success they have had recently.

• Price is everything.

Investigate what other similar properties are renting for in your area, and decide on your price from the most objective

Tiling Guide – Part 1 • Hammer and chisel • Grouting knife/spatula • Goggles • Tile cutter • Wooden battens • Cloths • Dust sheet

(if removing existing tiles)

• Make sure tenants can reach you at all times, via phone or email. If something goes wrong and you’re not able to get there yourself, have the name and number of someone who can go for you.

Word of mouth is everything, and leaving people in the lurch on their holiday is not a good idea.

possible after buying, before it’s too late to take them back, and make sure you buy more than you need – allow for breakages along the way, and it’s always a good idea to have some spare.

To make sure you lay the tiles in a straight line the best thing is to use wooden battens, laid vertically and horizontally, which form a framework as your starting point.

Useful tips

Preparing the wall: Walls need to be smooth, clean and dry - this may even mean replastering if necessary. It’s never advisable to try and tile over wallpaper, over flaky paint (sand it down first) or over existing tiles. If you do have to tile over tiles, make sure they are firmly stuck to the wall, clean, dry and as flat and even as possible. If you’re removing existing tiles, make sure you wear safety goggles and a long sleeved top for protection, and use a hammer and chisel, gently tapping along the grout lines.

Once tiles are removed, scrape away any remaining adhesive and sand the walls down to make sure the surface you are left with is smooth. Next, apply a sealer to your

wall (unless you are tiling on top of tiles), which will help the adhesive stay moist for longer.

Getting started Firstly, you need to be absolutely sure that the adhesive is the right one for the tiles you have. If in doubt, take a sample of your tiles

along with you and ask for advice before you buy it. Bathrooms will need a waterproof adhesive, for example.

You will also need to calculate how many tiles you need, which is done by measuring the surface area of the walls or floor and dividing this by the total area of one tile.

Check for broken tiles as soon as

Most tiles, especially the ones made from more natural materials, will have a slight variation in the shade from one box to the next, which is normal.

To avoid this being noticeable when they are all laid out, open all the boxes and mix all the tiles up, which will give a much more subtle, almost unnoticeable blend of colour.

Before you go about laying the tiles, think carefully about where you want the part tiles to end up – there will always be the inevitable part of the wall where you’ll have to cut a tile.

This should, where possible, be in less visible places, so not at eye level, not immediately above a countertop or half way along a wall. For example your part tiles should be at floor level, along the skirting board.

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S

One more award recently voted the Best Luxury Car

Ford

Hatchback

performance ------Ford’s exciting new 250PS Focus ST will hit the streets in the last week of June.

This latest offering from Ford is set to take the market by storm and sets new standards for its class. Its unique suspension, high performance brakes and non-linear variable-ratio steering have all been expressly tuned and the production model has maintained many of the striking aspects of the original Ford Focus ST Concept. For instance, the striking central exhaust, the magnificent trapezoidal front grille and even the Tangerine Scream paint option are all included in the market model.

Looks as good as this are well deserving of the advanced, direct-injection 2 litre, all-alloy, turbocharged, four-cylinder EcoBoost engine which develops 250PS whilst still capable of returning 39.2mpg and CO2 emissions of 169g/km. That’s an incredible 20 per cent better than its forerunner.

T

he leading Spanish financial magazine, El Economista , recently voted the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S the Best Luxury Car More than 60,000 readers took part in the web survey, organised by Ecomotor, and this latest award is added to the model’s already impressive list of honours from around the world.

The people who took part in the survey were asked to choose from a range of luxury vehicles, including the BMW Series 6 Gran Coupé,

The Focus ST will be available in hatchback and estate versions, both with a high level of comfort, safety and convenience features as standard on both. Additional sports styling options include rado-grey alloy wheels, red brake callipers and illuminated scuff plates.

Audi S8, Rolls-Royce Phantom Series II, Jaguar XJ and Porsche Panamera GTS. The award ceremony took place on the opening day of the Madrid Motor Show and the result clearly shows that sportiness and luxury work better when they are combined.

So what is it about this car that has received awards from over 50 of some of the most prestigious magazines? Well, there’s no doubt that the Italian Maserati company is one of the best at combining luxury with strong performance. The Maserati Quattroporte saloon is the perfect example of this

The Catalogue

Motorbikes

The 2012 – 2013 motorbike catalogue has just reached the shops.

Motocatálogo offers the most up to date information on more than 950 bikes of 80 different makes. Special attention is given to new models and those that rank highly in Spain’s market.

All types are covered, from custom through to motocross and tourers.

Available for sale at €5.90, there’s enough there to keep any motorbike fan happy.

and with the Sport GT S version there is no compromise on the style and elegance that have always epitomised the company’s flagship model.

The bodywork, with the superb sweeping wing mirrors is more aerodynamic and in profile you can appreciate the car’s lowered carriage: 25mm at the rear and 10mm at the front. The car’s weight distribution is unique in its class, with a minor bias towards the rear end (49 per cent at the front and 51 on the rear). This balance transforms the luxury saloon into a car where performance is paramount, accentuated by the single-setting racing style suspension that makes the steering tre-

mendously sensitive and responsive to the touch.

This is Ford’s first global performance car and was developed jointly by Ford’s Team RS in Europe and its Special Vehicles Team (SVT) in the United States.

It is also equipped with the MC-Auto Shift software package for racing-style control of gear changes, and the system is nicely rounded off by ABS brakes and the EBD that distributes the braking force between the front and the rear axles Playing their part in the Maserati Stability Programme (MSP), this as a whole provides first-rate performance, both in terms of braking distance and resistance to fade, even under intense use.

The car goes on sale in 40 different countries this year and will undoubtedly be a favourite amongst Ford fans.

Ferrari

Eric Clapton Special

Eric Clapton is now the proud owner of a unique Ferrari, built to his own specifications.

The rock legend, whose hits include Layla, Tears in Heaven and Wonderful Tonight, has owned several different Ferraris over the years and is one of the car’s biggest fans.

His personal model, called the SP12 EC, was designed by the Stile Ferrari Centre, in collaboration with Pininfarina and Ferrari’s engineers in Maranello.

It is based on the 458 Italia, including that model’s 4.5-litre V8 engine, with features from his favourite Ferrari - the 1970s’ 512 BB He has owned three of these classic models over the years and the SP12 EC’s hand-built red and black body includes touches from the 512 BB such as a larger air intake at the front of the car and grey slats on the front boot lid.

Olympics for Tinerfeño

Hopkins the Executioner

enjamin Hockin’s dad is English, his mum is from Paraguay and he lived in Tenerife, before leaving for Swansea, to train for the British swimming team under the American ex world champion swimmer, Bill Pilczuck.

Benjamin and his brothers ‘Charles and Andrew’ were all members of the Santa Cruz swimming team C N Teneteide. A member of the British Olympic swimming team in Beijing, Benji has now qualified for the London Olympics, but this time his aquatic abilities will be on behalf of the Paraguayan national team. He left the GB team at the end of 2009, deciding to swim for Paraguay to give back all he had learned to try and promote swimming in his mother’s country, which at the moment doesn’t even have an Olympic size pool.

He complained that even after being unbeaten for the past nine years and after 13 defences of his version of the middleweight crown he had to wait so long for a fight, that if he won would shoot him into the big time.

Going into the 12th and last round Hopkins came out and gave his all, and Trinidad dropped to the canvas when Hopkins caught him with a peach of a right cross to end the fight. We fast forward 10 years, plus, and who do we find mixing it, at 47 years of age, with the best light heavyweight in the world.

The one and only Bernard Hopkins still good enough to probably beat most of the fighters in his weight division. The man is an ageless wonder!

He has seen the President of Paraguay, Fernando Lugo, on a number of occasions to ask him to build an Olympic pool for all Paraguayans to use.

Benji made his A time to qualify him to compete in Malaga back in March, is currently the South American 200m Freestyle champion and came home with a bronze medal at the Pan American games last year in Mexico. Younger brother Charles has a B time in the 100m backstroke and is competing in events in Argentina and the Bahamas in an attempt to make his A qualifying time.

Basketball :

This fight was his big chance, for in the other corner was the unbeaten Puerto Rican Felix ‘Tito’ Trinidad, the 28 year old who was the clear favourite, having won every one of his 40 bouts, 33 of them by knockouts.

He also held the WBA version of the middleweight belts, and had previously been world champion at welterweight and junior middleweight. As the fighters had made their way to the ring in the world famous Madison Square Garden, the capacity crowd of nearly 20,000 raised the roof, the biggest majority of them screaming “Tito, Tito”.

Then a truly remarkable thing happened.

The predominately Latin pro Trinidad crowd started to applaud a truly great performance from Hopkins, who was demonstrating his mastery over the Puerto Rican. No longer were the cries of “Tito, Tito”, as they looked at Hopkins, the cagey, battle tested veteran, with nothing less than unrestrained admiration.

Someone once said that boxing is the theatre of the unexpected and it surely was on this particular night. Everyone believed that Hopkins would use his rough-house tactics against Trinidad, who everyone thought was by far the better boxer, but the unexpected happened, for the ageing and grossly underestimated Hopkins, who most of us thought had got his first super fight years too late, put on a devastating performance to give the unbeaten Trinidad a boxing lesson, by boxing outside and from long range used stinging left jabs and hard left hooks mixed with straight rights to the head, and even when Trinidad forced him on to the ropes Hopkins was beating him to the punch.

arcelona’s Pedro Rodríguez says he has an impossible task on his hands to fill the boots of injured David Villa at the European Championships, which began for Spain on 10 June.

The Tenerife born winger has been handed Villa’s No.7 jersey and revealed that Spain’s most prolific goalscorer told him he was delighted the jersey was going to him for the championships.

“I am touched by Villa’s gesture, but for me there is only one No.7 in the country and that is David,” said Pedro, who earned his call-up by Vicente del Bosque after a stunning Spanish Cup Final performance, which made up for a relatively disappointing season, at least by his own high standards. The Canarian looked as if he would miss out on the Euros after failing to make the squad for the friendly against Venezuela a few months ago.

U.D. Las Palmas :

Rodríguez to go L as Palmas have parted company with manager Juan Manuel Rodríguez.

The club waited until the last day of the season and the 3:2 win over Sabadell to inform Rodríguez that his contract, which runs out on 30 June, is not to be extended. Rodríguez

joined the 2nd Division club in February 2011 after the sacking of Paco Jémez and helped saved it from relegation last year. Las Palmas finished 9th this season, the side’s best performance for nearly a decade, but Rodríguez was blamed for the alarming dip in form

that saw the team lose touch with the promotion play-off spots when a place looked a distinct possibility in the spring. Several runins with players which soured the atmosphere in the dressing room did not help his cause. Also leaving are a number of key players who have

refused to take a wage cut as Las Palmas seeks to lower its €7.5 million budget.

Echeyde President, David Rivas

CB Canarias has already had to throw in the towel, (see front page story), but the Santa Cruz based waterpolo team, Acuasport Tenerife Echeyde’s chances of taking up their place in the Male Division of Honour are looking increasingly slim. The club has until June 30 to come up with the €200,000 needed to plan a competitive squad for one of the best leagues in Europe.

David Rivas, President of the club, met with the island president, Ricardo Melchior, in the days before the list of grants to local clubs was published, but he had already stated that they felt, “discriminated against in comparison with other clubs”.

Linense 0 CD Tenerife 1

The blanquiazules came away from La Linea in the shadows of Gibraltar with a vital win in the first leg of this play-off semi-final.

The synthetic pitch and high winds did not help in the pursuit of good football but Tenerife were worthy winners. The black and white stripped home side relied on the good old fashioned punt up field which made for a scrappy contest. After a decent spell of Tenerife pressure the breakthrough was made in rather fortunate circumstances on 40 minutes. Kiko Lopez rounded the Linense keeper but took the ball slightly wide and his pass back struck the panicky keeper and he redirected the ball into his own net. The second half could have seen Tenerife win a penalty when Aridane was brought down in the box but the referee waved play on. The match rolled on as Linense fought for the equaliser, late on Bello was sent off for the home side for a foul on Sergio Rodriguez.

This incident did seem slightly harsh and for a while it lifted the home crowd and the ten men of Linense. Aragoneses made two great saves in the dying minutes for Tenerife but they held on for a great away win.

Play off semi final 2nd leg

CD Tenerife 3 Linense 2

What a fantastic game of football the 14,500 crowd enjoyed in the fervent Heliodoro Stadium.

The blanquiazules were made to sweat more than expected but in the end they sealed their place in the play-off final for promotion to the 2nd division. The players took the pitch in blazing sunshine to be greeted by a gigantic flag covering the whole of the ‘popular’ end of the stadium. Another

huge banner read ‘Cheering the club of our father’s - Defending the team of our land’.

The atmosphere must have spurred the players on as in their first attack after just three minutes Tenerife scored. Perona broke through the Linense defence and his cross was met at the far post by Kike Lopez, what a start! But one thing that has haunted the blanquiazules is defending from dead ball positions and on 17 minutes the visitors were level. Tenerife took the lead again on 40 minutes through Victor Bravo but the joy was short lived as just before half-time David equalised for Linense. At 2-2 Tenerife were still leading the tie on aggregate and they knew that one more Linense goal would prove disastrous. Early in the second half Tenerife were reduced to 10 men due to the expulsion of Bravo but 10 minutes later the visitors themselves had a man sent off so we were back to ten vs ten.

These were tense times in the stadium as Tenerife lost control of the ball. Manager Quique Medina who was sitting in stands as part of a suspension made changes with midfielders Lusimi Loro and Zaso calming down the play in the later stages.

Linense did have a good penalty shout after a shirt was tugged in the penalty area but as the visiting players argued with the referee, Tenerife attacked and sealed their place in the Final after a well taken goal by Kike Lopez. The fans celebrated wildly, with minutes remaining and a two goal cushion they knew not even Tenerife could mess this up! The Linense players were still fuming at the officials and two more were sent off, so now we were down to ten versus eight on the pitch for the four minutes of injury time.

This was a great win and now CD Tenerife will play the final against Ponferradina, away on Sunday June 17th at 7pm and the second leg will be played a week later on Sunday June 24th at Midday. Win this one and we are up!!

opkins the Executioner is one of boxing’ greats

It’s over 10 years ago that I arrived in New York for the big fight, or what they call these days a super fight, a fight that would unify the world middleweight championship for the first time in 15 years.

Horse racing [ They’re off! ]

Canaries

e h t in

The first horse racing event of the summer season in Gran Canaria drew a crowd of approximately 1,500 to the track in Valleseco and the organisers are confident of bettering the figure at the next meetings planned between now and the end of

September. Although very much a minority sport, attracting considerably fewer competitors than showjumping or dressage, racing is becoming increasingly popular among spectators and the

signs are that other parts of the island may be tempted to cash in on the phenomenon by preparing their own local tracks.

Jockeys from seven towns on the island took part in

the five races at Valleseco’s La Laguna track, which will stage three more meetings during the summer, on 22 July, 5 August and 30 September. Entry to the racetrack is currently free.

Crowds of mourners still silently filed along the pavement at one end of Broadway with their mouths wide open as they got their first glimpse of the mountain of twisted metal which was all that was left of the World Trade Centre. Some felt that the return of boxing was too early after the disaster, yet New York embraced the return of other professional sports. “We mourn, we heal, we stand united, we play but we never forget”, had been displayed on the big screen at the Yankee Stadium three nights earlier. So the fight went ahead.

In one corner was Bernard Hopkins nicknamed ‘The Executioner’, who at the time was known to be one of the dirtiest fighters in the game, not shy about using his shoulders and elbows in clinches, or punching below the belt when he thought the referee wasn’t looking. Hopkins went to prison for five years for robbery at the age of 17 and battled the boxing establishment for most of his career, which is probably the reason why this contest was to be his first shot at the big time at the age of 36.
