Hotel strike in August

L

ocal environmental groups are up in arms regarding the proposed installation of a shark fin drying factory in Arico, Tenerife, for exportation to China and Hong Kong.

The relevant authorities apparently decided that the factory did not meet the requisites for an environmental report as the installation is on a small scale, will not have any detrimental effects on the environment and the sharks will not be caught by local fleets.

In fact, the company that is expected to deliver the shark fins is based in Vigo, Galicia, and will be gathering its catch from a large area of the Atlantic, including Canarian waters.

Regardless of who will be making the catch, one of the main concerns is that the sharks will be used for their fins only, while the rest of the fish is thrown back into the sea. This practice is a brutal and unnecessary waste of precious resources and yet another blow to the increasing loss of vital biodiversity.

H

More uncertainty

otel unions are threatening a series of strikes throughout one of the busiest months of the year if their demands are not met.

Ongoing talks between the CCOO union, UGT union and Ashotel, the hoteliers’ association that controls the four western islands of Tenerife, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, have broken down.

The workers’ complaints arise from the fact that, despite previous agreements and improving results within the sector, Ashotel apparently wants to freeze salaries, not only for the rest of 2012, but for 2013 as well.

Workers are prepared to accept just a five per cent rise, instead of the 2.5 expected, as long as the oth-

that employees will take to the doors of hotels to put their grievances directly to the tourists, something that the big tour operators would, of course, find extremely detrimental to their business.

Ashotel cites the rise in the IGIC tax as one of the main reaer two per cent is destined for the creation of 800 new jobs, before the end of 2013. A noble cause indeed, but they are not without their doubts as to the validity of any deal made. If, before the end of 2012 there hasn’t been any rise in the number of people employed then the

original two per cent rise will be expected to be paid and backdated.

A series of demonstrations in Tenerife, which started in mid June in Las Américas, will culminate in a series of strikes in August if an agreement isn’t reached before that time.

There is also the threat

sons why it cannot comply.

It has apparently stated that this is expected to affect the sector to the tune of €120 million, to which the proposed pay rises will add another €40 million, threatening the survival of the whole sector. Whilst acknowledging the right of employees to voice their

concerns the association is requesting a little more patience from the unions and an open mind to continuing discussions, rather than taking extreme action which may affect tourism throughout the islands.

The whole situation is inevitably linked to the rise in airport taxes in Spain. It will only be seen what effect this will have in the future, but there is already a reduction noticed from flight operators. The uncertainty is certainly proving bad for business and, at a time that some of the archipelago’s competitors are experiencing an improvement in tourism, the Canaries are fighting to maintain levels of, in particular, British and German visitors.

Dispute continues

Dockers v Fred Olsen The continued animosity between dock workers in Puerto de la Luz, Gran Canaria and Fred Olsen reached new levels recently, when it obstructed a 500-metre delivery of predominately perishable goods.

A picket line of dock workers from the Port Authorities of Las Palmas blocked the loading and unloading of vehicles on the Olsen vessel, which resulted in the Olsen ship returning to Lanzarote and then Fuerteventura with no merchandise on board. Juan Ignacio Liaño, director of the Fred Olden fleet, said: We will have to seriously consider whether or not we continue with this route, as the port workers’s behaviour is damaging the company.

11 years on

Urbana Ramos case reopens An Arona judge has reopened the case of Urbana Ramos Plasencia, a 35-year-old woman who was found murdered in Fonsalía, Guía de Isora, 11 years ago.

The decision was taken following the discovery of new genetic material in the victims former house, which can now be analised with more modern techniques than those in existence in 2001.

The victim’s body was found close to her car just off the Adeje to Los Gigantes road on November 9, 2001, with 19 stab wounds and a blow to the head. The civil guard ruled out a robbery almost immediately, believing instead that they were dealing with a crime of passion, given that Urbana was in the process of separating from her husband at the time.

The case was closed due to a lack of evidence that linked the main suspect – Urbana’s husband, with the scene of the crime, however these new DNA samples found on work clothes belonging to Urbana’s former husband could finally mean solving the case.

Don’t let a lost passport ruin your holiday

osing your passport will cost you time, and money and could ruin your holiday.

That’s the message from the network of British Consulates in Spain who between them handle more than 4,000 lost passport cases every year. For the unfortunate passport holder that usually means a journey to the nearest consulate, time spent making an application for an emergency travel document, and a fee of over €100.

So, keeping your passport safe will save you hassle and expense, and avoid you wasting precious holiday time. In order to help British passport holders, the consular network in Spain has produced a short video giving advice on how to keep your passport safe and reduce the risks of having it stolen.

With no rain or wind to hamper them, white fly, greenfly and cochineal beetles are attacking banana production particularly hard, with the sticky liquid produced by pests damaging fruit.

The fact that many previously used insecticides are now prohibited complicates the issue. “We have to use paraffin oil or soap and water. It’s far more expensive and is very labour intensive to apply”, says La Gomera grower Domingo Rollo.

May itself saw an eight per cent fall compared to the same month last year and the sector is hoping that the trend will begin to reverse as of July, thanks to late bookings, particularly by Britons keen to take advantage of the weak euro compared to the pound. The fall in numbers in Fuerteventura is much steeper than for the Canaries overall, where the drop recorded in the first five months was 2.6 per cent.

La Palma

Taking to the streets

By Barbara Belt

T

he small town of Fuencaliente on the southern tip of La Palma is picturesque, flower filled and very peaceful.

Until the seventeenth centur y, the hot springs that gave the place its name were much visited by sufferers of skin disorders. A curative dip in the thermal waters of the Fuente Santa, situated on the coast near the present day Playa de Echentive, was recommended for all those unfortunates, “in scaelye or itch’d turmoiles”, according to sixteenth century texts.

But the itchy and scaly were forced to go elsewhere when the Fuente Santa spring, and much of the surrounding area, was buried by the Fuencaliente volcanic eruptions in the seventeenth century.

Since then, tourism has been pleasantly low profile, doing little to disturb the natural calm and order of things, although there was, literally, another burst of activity in the area when the Canaries’ second most recent volcano, the Teneguia, erupted in 1971, causing local mayhem and attracting thousands of visitors to the area and town.

These days, apart from the occasional passing tourist bus, or explorers in hire cars venturing out from the nearby Teneguia Princess and La Palma Princess complexes to see a bit of local life, the road running through Fuencaliente is generally quiet. Pensioners chatting on roadside benches occasionally pause to watch cars go by, but dogs slumber undisturbed in shady roadside spots. Peace prevails.

Fuencaliente is the kind of place where visitors feel

a nostalgic desire to stick around, fantasising about escaping the stress of fastlane life for what looks like the rural idyll. They take photos of picturesque views and locals, get back into hire cars and then head home to twenty four hour shops, pizza delivery, public transport and all the other joys of twenty first century life they would forfeit if they lived in a place like Fuencaliente.

The inhabitants of the area are accustomed to

Why should our children have to get up at Sun to get to school on time? doing without such conveniences, never having had them or, as is the case with outsiders, having chosen to eschew them in favour of the aforementioned peace and quiet. You can’t, after all, have it all.

But there are limits to their acceptance of inconveniences and even the quietest of small island communities will get noisy if pushed too far, (with the sad exception of La Gomera, where profound apathy to all outrages makes for rich pickings).

The people of Fuencaliente are at present outraged by a regional government decision, taking to the streets to march in protest at what they see as a “punitive measure” by the Education Department.

The fuss has been caused by the recent announce-

ment that Los Canarios ESO, or secondary school, will “cease to exist at the end of this academic year”, which is, basically, now.

Organised by the Azuquahe Parents Association of Los Canarios School, the march, with protesters of all ages, filled the town’s normally quiet streets. Banners were carried, proclaiming everything from a pushchair held, “I’m one and when I’m eleven I want to be able to go to school in Fuencaliente”, to an elderly lady’s, “our grandchildren and children have the right to be educated here too”.

Fuencaliente has a population of about two thousand and most families are affected by the decision to close the town’s only secondar y school. A Parents Association spokesman told press, “we don’t intend to keep quiet about this. We’re on the case now and we demand that this decision is reconsidered.

We’re convinced that the future of a town goes hand in hand with the education its children receive. We won’t allow this right to education to be denied us”.

Parents have requested that both the Deputy Minister of Education, and regional government head Paulino Rivero, “work to find a solution and look for other ways of saving money, because, although we are a small community, we won’t agree to this and intend to fight”.

The protest comes af-

ter what was a surprise announcement from the regional Ministry of Education, leading parents to suspect that the ministry hoped to push through the closure as fait accompli just before the long summer break, when all public administration offices traditionally lie dormant and protest falls on deaf ears.

Local children will be forced to travel to alternative secondar y schools in either Mazo, at nearly twenty kilometres away, or El Paso, which is thirty kilometres distant. High on the list of arguments proffered by parents against the closure is the matter of increased hours in the school day.

Many Canarian children in rural areas, especially on the smaller islands, spend up to four hours a day travelling to and from school, and could readily confirm how tiring this is.

Although distances may be relatively short by car, tr y travelling behind a school bus to see its snail’s pace climbing up and round the bends, visiting outlying hamlets and stopping to let sleepy pupils off and on at its very frequent stops.

“Why should our children have to get up at five am to get to school on time?”, say parents, pointing out that the road to the other schools is undergoing major work, which has now stopped due to problems with funding.

This will, “cause considerable delay, adding more time to an already unacceptably long journey to school. “It’s certain that the politicians announcing this closure won’t have to get up before six to get anywhere. Neither will they have to catch a bus that takes hours to do fifteen other stops before arriving at school”, say the Parents’ Association.

“We’re concerned about our children’s wellbeing and academic per formance. We know cuts are being made everywhere, but this is unacceptable. How can it be good for the kids to spend so much time on a bus every day?” parents complained to Island Connections.

“Why should our children be penalised? Taking money from schools like ours is a stupid way to economise. Our children are our future. People need to protest at this kind of dangerous stupidity.”

Irish murder trial

The trial of a young Irish man accused of murder in Tenerife is due to take place shortly on the island.

Keith Burke, aged 20, is charged with killing 25year-old ferry employee Abraham Baez during a late-night row two years ago near the Tropical Playa Hotel. Dubliner Burke is said to have stabbed Baez in the side of the neck with a large knife, severing an artery, during a heated row involving their respective girlfriends.

he already tarnished reputation of Spanish air traffic controllers has taken a further dent with revelations that Tenerife North airport had to be shut for a few minutes recently due the refusal of two controllers to walk up the tower stairs during a lift failure.

According to the Diario de Avisos paper, three controllers were about to start their shift when they were told they would have to walk up the seven floors due to the problems with the lift, which had been out of order for several hours.

Two of the three refused and remained downstairs,

forcing colleagues in the tower to extend their shift by two hours. As the team on duty neared its maximum time on screen, instructions were sent to an inbound flight from Madrid to divert to Tenerife South. Sources say the airport closed down its flight operations for eight

minutes. Luckily the lift was repaired shortly afterwards and the two controllers took up their desks.

The Airport Authority is believed to have ordered disciplinary action against the pair although it will be anxious to avoid industrial action as the summer season gets under way.

These are the last two races of the championship and it is highly likely that the title could be decided. The budget for the trials is €60,000, to be paid equally between the island council, Santiago del Teide and Arona.

According to the prosecution, Stuart struck Baez’s girlfriend Laura Negrín repeatedly with a small rock, causing multiple wounds to her face and shoulder.

Eyewitnesses say the man was hit by a car as he tried to cross the busy motorway on foot. The collision was followed by several others, involving a number of cars, which brought chaos to the busy motorway, with tailbacks stretching many kilometres. Locals have long called for more pedestrian bridges to be built to allow residents of the heavily-populated Santa María del Mar district to reach the shopping centre more easily. Incidents such as the latest fatality and various near misses are a common occurrence in the area due to the number of people who opt to cross on foot as a shortcut rather than walk to the main bridge.

The Virgin of Carmen’s actual feast day is July 16, but festivities are carried on throughout that week, often for a fortnight.

According to tradition, members of the Carmelite monastery, founded by the English monk St. Simon Stock, in Israel, were converted to Catholicism after the appearance of a cloud on July 16, 1251, in which the image of the Virgin Mary was visible. Thus, on that mountain they founded a temple in honour of the Virgin and the congregation of the Brothers of Saint Mary of Carmelo Mountain was formed.

The Virgin appeared bearing a scapular in her hands (religious garment). She then evidently promised to liberate from purgatory all those souls who had worn the scapular during their lives and take them to heaven.

Over the centuries this devotion to the Virgin del Carmen extended throughout Europe and America. Spain in particular is known as a region where Catholics are some of the most devoted to this particular embodiment of the Virgin Mary and where she is also the patron Saint of the Spanish Armada.

Celebrations will thus be held in almost all of the

lowing year.

One of the most spectacular of these celebrations, dating from the 18th century, takes place in Puerto de la Cruz in the north of Tenerife. There, the Virgin is accompanied on her annual outing by San Telmo, also known as St Elmo, who is the patron saint of Spanish and Portuguese mariners.

The figure of the saint is carried around the town in the procession of El Gran Poder. No doubt having two patron saints instead of one doubles the chances of good fortune and visitors flock from miles around to pay homage to their twin benefactors.

The town fills up with thousands of people who become a thronging mass centred on the port area.

Summer party

Fiesta de Carmen One of the biggest religious festivals celebrated during the summer months is coming up in July

coastal towns and cities throughout Spain, including the Canary Islands, when fishermen will honour their patron saint, asking for protection from the sea and for the blessing of catches to come.

These devotions date from an age when the majority of people made their living from the sea and land: a time when bad weather or pestilence could result in economic disaster.

Superstitious belief helped people cope with the possibility of the catastrophe that unforeseen circum-

stances could bring.

Although the foundation of the festival is a very serious one, over time of course the locals have adopted a party attitude to the whole affair and, run by fishermen, this festival in particular can be somewhat wild.

The ongoing festivities usually include singers, musicians, dancers and feasts and, nowadays, the traditional Canarian folk music is usually accompanied by the more modern rock and pop music.

T

he Fiesta of the Virgin of Carmen is celebrated around the Canary Islands and Spain, particularly in coastal areas, as for Catholics she is the Patron Saint and protector of fishermen and sailors. She is also known as Nuestra Señora del Monte Carmelo (Our Lady of Mount Carmel) and is one of the many incarnations of the Virgin Mary.

On the main day of the fiesta statues of the Virgin of Carmen are taken out from their permanents homes in their churches and paraded grandly through towns’ streets.

The processions move with a slow rhythmic swaying motion, which simulates being at sea, and often hundreds of people join in as they make their way to the coast.

The mood of the crowds changes from one of frivolity to religious fervour and devotees clamour to touch the virgin for good luck. Only the hardest of heart will fail to be moved by the sheer intensity of

emotion during the parade and hundreds and even thousands of people gather to watch the events.

It’s a painfully slow journey, though slowly, but surely, the Virgin is carried down to the harbours where a boat will be waiting for her to embark and be taken on a journey around the bays and coastal areas. The main boat will be festooned with garlands, flags and other decorations, as will all the other, smaller, embarkations which will accompany her on her journey. It is a great honour to sail on the main boat with the Virgin and one that is covetously vied for by the heads of any area’s community.

It is a spectacular sight to see the motley flotilla of motor launches, dinghies, jet skis and kayaks setting sail, accompanied by a barrage of fireworks, blaring klaxons and shouts of appreciation. After her voyage, the Virgin is accompanied back to her resting place in the church, where she will reside in peace until the fol-

Because of the festival’s strong connections to the sea, water figures highly throughout the day’s celebrations which are boisterous, wet, noisy and chaotic, as well as being good natured, great fun and an unforgettable experience.

Youngsters armed with water pistols chase each other through the streets and many innocent bystanders get caught in the crossfire, eliciting phoney cries of outrage and scowls from the grown-ups.

Revellers joyfully goad people enjoying the celebrations from the safety of their balconies until they get the reaction they’re after; buckets of water are thrown over them, cooling them down in the mid July heat.

Water based activities abound in the harbour, one of the most popular being the greasy pole that juts out over the water for those who are brave, or in some cases inebriated enough, to try their luck at reaching the end of the pole without falling in.

This year the day of the sailing in Puerto de la Cruz, often one of the first areas to celebrate, is July 10.

Help for victims

Combating violence Guía de Isora recently inaugurated a new plan to combat rising cases of domestic violence.

The scheme includes much higher levels of vigilance by various departments and a greater level of support for those already identified as victims. Running under the name Viogén, the programme is aimed at improved communication

between the various entities concerned with this type of abuse, such as the Civil Guard and voluntary organisations, and will include regular phone calls and home visits to those at risk.

Guía de Isora

Taxpayer joy

Guía de Isora council recently announced its planned local tax rates.

Residents of the area will be pleased to know that there will only be one rise in taxes this year. After much deliberation the local authority has decided that the only charge to be raised will be the drinking water rates. Even then the increase is only slight and will cost the majority of people, estimated to be around 60 per cent of the borough’s population, an average of between 0.75 and 1.25 cents each month.

Fun sport

In the swim

The XVII Playa Arena to Puerto Santiago swimming race will take place on July 7.

From the early afternoon hundreds of participants will start gathering on Playa Arena beach in preparation for the 6.00pm start. The various age-related categories will also be split into sections for men and women. Starting times will vary according to grouping, with the female participants leaving first. Swimmers will cover a course of 950 metres, ending at the Bajío beach in Puerto de Santiago.

The yearly contest is organised by the sports department of the local council in collaboration with various groups, including Civil Protection, the Voluntary Firemen of Santiago del Teide and the Guardia Civil Subaquatic Activities department.

It is a wonderful sight and well worth a visit to cheer the participants on. More information at: www.deportesantiagodelteide.com.

ecently installed, the receiving areas mean that people living in the vicinity no longer have to wonder how to dispose of this most troublesome waste product.

The problem with kitchen oil is that if you throw it in a bin it goes to a landfill site where it produces methane, one of the so-called greenhouse gases.

The effects are even worse if you pour it down the sink: just one litre of oil can contaminate up to one thousand litres of water. It’s also hard to avoid the oil escaping into the sea, as it is extremely difficult to separate it from the water in the sewage plants.

It is estimated that each family in Spain throws out around four litres of oil every year. That’s a lot of contamination. To avoid this all you have to do is pour your used oil in, for instance, an old water bottle, preferably sieving waste particles out as you do so. Store it in a safe place and pop it along to a collection site when it is full.

The new bins have come about thanks to an agree-

Spain attacked for “discriminatory” succession tax

By Bill Blevins, Financial Correspondent, Blevins Franks

S

pain has a history of applying different (usually higher) tax rates for non-residents, even if they are EU nationals or residents.

Prior to 2007, non-residents were charged higher rates for capital gains than residents.

The European Commission regarded this treatment as discriminatory and a ruling by the European Court of Justice forced Spain to change its rules so the same rate applied to everyone.

We now have a similar situation with succession tax.

The Spanish Autonomous Communities can apply their own succession tax rates and allowances, so we have both state rules and regional rules.

Several Communities have

made the tax much more benign for close relatives.

In contrast, the state rules can result in quite a large tax bill for beneficiaries, even a surviving spouse.

The regional rules tend to be much more advantageous, but under current regulations only ever apply to residents of that region. You have to be continuously resident in that Community for the five years leading up to your death for the regional rules to apply; other wise your heirs are taxed under the state rules.

After the European Commission twice requested Spain to take action to ensure its succession tax is in compliance with EU rules, it announced in October that it was referring Spain to the Court of Justice for its discriminatory rules which “constitute an obstacle to the free movement of people and capital, fundamental principles of the EU’s Single Market”.

After Spain was forced to change its discriminator y capital gains tax rules, many non-residents who had sold Spanish proper ty claimed a refund from the Government for the extra tax they had paid.

Even a surviving spouse could face a high tax bill If the European Court of Justice rules in favour of the European Commission, the Spanish authorities may be forced to apply the same rates and allowances regardless of residence.

It is believed that the Government could also be forced to reimburse people who have paid higher succession tax as

a result of the residency rules, if they file correct reclaims according to the Spanish legal system. It has been calculated that over 40,000 UK families could be owed around €492 million by the Spanish Government. There will be thousands of people in other EU countries in a similar situation.

If Spain does change its succession tax rules, it will be good news for the thousands of people who own holiday homes or investment property here. However when the capital gains tax rate was changed, the Government increased the rate applied to residents to help compensate for the lost revenue, so we may see something similar here.

If you are resident and domiciled in the UK you also need to consider the UK inheritance tax implications.

For advice on inheritance tax planning, seek advice from an expert like Blevins Franks who specialise in Spanish and UK tax planning.

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

L

Experts predict the following major changes: • A cut in funding to the regions, a cut in the civil service jobs at regional level.

• Cuts in the health service with an extension of the co-

payment system about to be put in place. A payment for example for each visit you pay to your doctor’s surgery.

and a reduction or freezing of the pensions.

• A reduction in the number of public companies and more privatisations.

• Less public investment.

• A change in the tax system with more indirect taxation. Despite the fact that higher taxation will affect consumption and tourism, Spain has the second lowest VAT type tax in the EU. Many of the reduced rate taxation will be cancelled.

• Higher electricity charges and special taxes.

• More tolls on motorways and main roads.

• Cuts in public spending, lower wages and fewer employees.

• An increase in the retirement age.

• Changes in the work market with wage reductions in private companies, a further reduction in the cost to the companies of making people unemployed

Staying Power

Why not holiday at home this year?

By Sarah Negrin

W

hen most people begin to think of going on holiday, there are certain criteria that usually need to be met, although this naturally varies depending on the nature of the holiday in question (for a city break, museums, theatre and shopping usually figure, skiing holidays obviously need snow, etc).

However, for summer holidays, nine times out of ten, the wish list goes something like this: sun, beach, good food, nice accommodation, something to visit and your native language widely spoken.

Why stay at home?

So, bearing in mind the holiday wish list above, when ‘home’ is in fact the Canary Islands, the question really ought to be, ‘Why not?’ Glorious weather: check. Clean, safe, sandy beaches: check. Fantastic sporting facilities: check.

First-class accommodation: check. Your language widely spoken: check. The list goes on…what’s more, aside from everything you gain by staying, you also avoid some of the less pleasant aspects that usually come with foreign travel, namely the airport stress (especially if you are travelling with children), the flight itself, possible delays, packing, uncertainty over whether you have chosen the right place, disappointment on arrival, and so on.

Tenerife The largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife offers something for everyone, no matter what your age or interests.

From the better known tourist destinations in the south, to remote quaint villages in the north, Tenerife offers you the chance to really escape from your normal life, even if it’s just for a day.

Where to stay: Most of you deciding to stay at home this summer will also stay physically at your usual home, whereas others, staunch defenders of the ‘it’s not a holiday if I still have to cook or worry about housework’ position, may decide to spend a few nights in a completely new environment.

And with deals that can see prices as low as €35 per person per night, half board at a four star hotel on Costa Adeje, who can blame you?

Check out websites such as www.booking.com, www. canariasviaja.com or ask local travel agents like Tenerife Sunshine for any special deals running. The official website for Canaries’ Tourism, www. turismodecanarias.com, conveniently breaks down tourism into sectors such as Family Welcome, Volcanic Experience, Wellness Delight, Water Sports Experience,

etc, which gives helpful suggestions on where to stay and what to do (the website is available in English).

To really feel like you’re escaping all the stresses and strains, though, you might like to consider staying in a rural hotel or renting a rural house. Here only the sound of birds and nature will accompany you, and some houses even come with a private pool. Perfect for renting with a group of friends or taking the kids to run free in the great outdoors. Check out www.ruraltenerife.net or www.toprural.com.

Top days out:

What do to:

There are plenty of picnic areas, so you can take your lunch with you. Don’t miss the tree top walk and the children’s park if you’re visiting with kids. Adult residents €19.50, children 6-11 years €13.50, under 6s free.

Here on Tenerife you can do pretty much anything you set your mind to.

From historic UNESCO World Heritage Sites, to places of extraordinary natural beauty, and from camel riding to fascinating museums, the world really is your oyster.

• Loro Parque, Puerto de La Cruz One of Europe’s leading theme parks, and known as the ‘must see’ of the Canary Islands, Loro Parque is a fantastic day out for the whole family.

Enjoy sea lion, dolphin, parrot and whale shows, cool off in the biggest penguinarium in the world and check out which baby animals are being born.

• Aqualand, Costa Adeje.

This may not offer adults the same thrill as some of the attractions in Siam Park, but it’s still fun a day

out, and is probably a better option for younger children.

Under threes are free, adult residents €17.20, children 3-12 years and the over 60s €11.50. Ask about a yearly pass (€39.50 for adults, so if you go three times in a year you’ve more than got your money back).

• Siam Park, Playa de las Américas In a word, amazing. From the largest man-made waves in the world to the lazy Mai Thai river ride that passes under the shark tank, the vertiginous Tower of Power and, a popular favourite the Dragon, a day at Siam Park is hugely entertaining.

For the children there’s the Lost Kingdom, and shopaholics will enjoy the floating Thai market. Adult residents €19.50, children aged 3-11 €13.50.

For the best deal buy a twin ticket for both Siam Park and Loro Parque, or a great value yearly pass for either or both.

discount card can be used for multiple users and will also get you a discount at the modern park and ride carpark at the tram terminal.

Take a leisurely stroll around Tenerife’s former capital, and admire the beautiful architecture that helped the historic centre to receive its UNESCO World Heritage Site status. Home to Tenerife’s university, there is a great, youthful vibe about the city, which is home to some fabulous shops and eateries.

Explore some of the secrets of the Universe at the Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos, and marvel at the beautiful churches and the cathedral.

• Masca Siam Park

Masca

There is a very good reason that this tiny hamlet is the second most visited part of Tenerife after Mount Teide (yes, really): it is breathtaking. Masca is the land that time forgot, precariously perched in the middle of nowhere, it can feel somewhat like a (very windy) odyssey to get there, but it is absolutely worth it. If you can, the trek down through the ravine to the secluded beach is by far the best way to appreciate this stunning scenery. It takes about two hours in total, as you wind your way through the gorge, with 400-metre walls hanging over you. Make sure you’ve arranged a boat transfer to pick you up from the bottom; otherwise you’ll have to walk back up…

• Cañadas del Teide • Jungle Park, Chayofa Formerly known as Águilas del Teide, the name may have changed but the world famous birds of prey exhibitions continue.

Home to over 500 species of animal, there is more than enough to keep the whole family entertained. A word of caution, the show is a sun trap, with no shade available. Make sure you wear a hat (it’s at least 30 minutes long, too), and if possible avoid midday performances.

Adult residents pay €18.50, children aged 3-12 years €13.50. Much cheaper when bought as a twin ticket with Aqualand, and even better value if you buy the joint yearly pass.

• Santa Cruz A visit to the island’s capital is well worthwhile, be

it for shopping, museums, theatre or just a change of scenery.

Don’t miss Parque García Sanabría, the city’s green lungs, and the iconic Plaza de España with its artificial lake. Home to all insular government buildings, the impressive auditorium and the British Consulate, you’ll find plenty to visit during your time, and when it all gets a bit much, cool off at the Parque Marítimo next to the auditorium, where for just €2.50 for adults and €1.50 for children ages 3-12, you can enjoy three pools, a small beach, relaxation area and children’s play area.

• La Laguna A short and very pleasant tram ride away from Santa Cruz (which will avoid the hunt for a parking space) brings you to La Laguna.

Don’t forget that a bono

If you have lived on Tenerife for longer than a month and have not visited the Cañadas del Teide National Park, shame on you.

Not for nothing is it the most visited National Park in the whole of Europe and the second most visited in the world. Prepare to be wowed by the incredibly diverse landscapes and spectacular examples of geology, which draw volcanologists, film makers, botanists and other experts from all around the world year after year. Start at the El Portillo Visitors’ Centre and then enjoy a guided walk, or take the cable car up to enjoy unparalleled views from far above the clouds. Make sure you take a hat, water and sun protection, the heat up there is pretty unforgiving and the atmosphere thinner, so you burn more quickly.

The biggest and best of its type in the Canary Islands, as well as one of the most popular in Spain, the fair is expected to attract several thousands of, mainly, youngsters to the event.

A LAN party is a gathering of people, each with their own computer, where they establish a Local Area Network between them all, primarily for the purpose of playing multiplayer video games. As of 2010, the world record for the number of connected systems at a LAN party is 12,754, which was set at DreamHack in Jönköping, Sweden.

It is the first time a national final has been held in Tenerife and it follows the visit of Sebastian Radu, General Director of the company that organises the competition, to last year’s event, when he was so impressed he vowed that Tenerife would play host to the 2012 final.

The party will take place in the Santa Cruz Recinto Ferial and is backed by some of the biggest names in the business, such as HP and Intel. There is still time to register for the fes-

Timple

Electric tradition T

raditional Canarian music, as all styles, is in constant evolution: keeping up with the times and bringing it to a wider and younger audience.

And as the rhythms, melodies and harmonies adapt to the more modern world and listener, the instruments themselves also grow and change. New construction methods allow innovative sounds and shapes to be formed and, as musical influences from around the world begin to converge, this reshaping and remodeling has meant, amongst other things, that many instruments can be used to play different types of music and blend with other instruments in ways that were previously impossible.

The timple, the traditional five-stringed Canarian in-

strument, is one of the latest to receive this treatment.

Beselch Rodríguez is a young musician from Tenerife whose talent and dedication to the timple has made him one of the most respected players of modern times. His mix of traditional themes fused with styles from all over the world has brought the instrument to the attention of many who would otherwise, perhaps, have passed it over. Determined to take this one step further he has designed an electric version, which he debuted recently at the Guimerá theatre in Santa Cruz.

To find out more about this fascinating young man, who began his musical career at the age of 12, you can visit his website at: www.beselchrodriguez.com where you can even download one of his albums, completely free.

Headed by Gomez and his wife Morticia, the Addams Family, welcome a new addition to the house of horrors: baby Pubert.

But sister Wednesday and brother Pugsley are less than welcoming, and are shipped off to summer camp, where they create mayhem. Meanwhile, Uncle Fester falls for Pubert’s nanny Debbie.

Set in Los Angeles over two days, it is a picaresque, episodic film with a cast of disparate characters whose lives coincide for one reason or another, from racist cop John Ryan (Matt Dillon) who pulls over black TV director Cameron Thayer (Terrence Howard) and his wife Christine (Thandie Newton), to the simple hassles that Iranian Farad (Shaun Toub) encounters.

Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius and the rest of the gang return with another series of japes.

This time around, they get to swig horse semen, apply leeches to their eyeballs and use Steve-O as human shark bait.

These are just some of the stunts, but Johnny Knoxville tops them all, straddling the sort of giant rocket that Wile E Coyote favours.

T

he recent concerts in Gran Canaria and Tenerife by Armando Christian Pérez, better known as Pitbull, were certainly a hit with avid followers of his music.

The talented rapper, songwriter, actor and record producer wowed the crowd on this, his first visit to the islands.

Planned as part of his Planet Pit 2012 World Tour, the long awaited concerts were promoted by Airbag Events and were seen as a coup

for this company.

Although Pitbull apparently kept his loyal fans waiting for over two hours in both of the venues, this didn’t seem to bother the crowd one bit, as the welcome he received demonstrated there is nothing like the sound of around 10,000 people screaming for their hero.

Born to Cuban parents in Miami, the artist said that coming to the islands felt like coming home and has promised to return.

Cocktail surprise

Martini >>

Anytime, any place, anywhere

Martini recently launched its campaign to find their latest star.

Ladies from around the world are being offered the opportunity to cast for the role and follow in the footsteps of previous holders of the accolade such as Charlize Theron, Nicollette Sheridan and Monica Bellucci.

The campaign, dubbed Luck is an Attitude, hopes to find a woman who embodies the brand’s ethos of playfulness and living life to the full. It is open to all women who are 25 years old and above and castings will take place in 25 countries across the world.

The successful candidate will be chosen in October

by Christian Louboutin and a high profile judging panel.

As well as becoming the next face of Martini’s advertising campaign the winner will also receive €150,000, 12 pairs of Christian Louboutin shoes and 12 designer outfits.

Interested parties can enter the competition at www.facebook.com/ martini, where they will be required to upload a short video showing why they should be the next Martini star.

The mojito experience After great success with their delicatessen event, El Cardón NaturExperience and El Aderno have recently launched their summer taste sensation.

The innovative and tempting product is a joint initiative between the two companies which is sure to tempt everyone with adventurous taste buds. El Cardón NaturExperience provides sports opportunities with a difference. One of their most popular excursions is the kayak sea tours along the base of the Los Gigantes cliffs. El Aderno is the renowned bakery based in Buenavista, as is El Cardón. They have joined together to present

Summer’s Mousse which is a programme of new kayak routes calling at popular spots such as Masca Beach, Punta de Teno and Juan López beach, each of which will be rounded off with the opportunity to taste some of El Ad-

erno’s fabulous mousses which have been especially created for the excursions.

Their mojito mousses will be available with hints of rum, mint, lemon or chocolate and will be the perfect way to round off an exciting day.

The new routes are available for participants on Saturdays and will include opportunities to view the fabulous sunsets that can be seen from the area. On Sundays the traditional Los Gigantes route will be followed, both of which will run from now until October.

The excursions are aimed at groups of less than 10 people, children are welcome and no experience is necessary. All materials are included in the price, as well as those delicious mousses.

Reservations can be made 922 12 79 38 and more information can be found online at: www.elcardon.com

After the success of the allotment project in La Orotava a second phase of the scheme has been introduced.

to work the land is nothing more than a dream as they live in apartments, without even a garden.

Providing residents with this facility has long been a dream of La Orotava council and, with the aim of offering more people this opportunity, another 1,800 square metres of ground has been designated for gardener’s use.

A further 35 allotments of 33 square metres have recently been assigned and all the crops grown will be done so using environmentally friendly methods.

The actual cost is only €50 per year, a contribution to the water bills, whilst activities such as the installation of wind and solar power units and rain collection tubs are encouraged.

As this project is proving so popular it is very possible that more land will be allocated. Contact the La Orotava council for more information.

The Curate’s egg

By John

Here is a tale a bit like the old adage about the Curate’s Egg…it was good in parts

My wife had chosen steak and chips (as usual, so daring!) at

Quality, fresh food Daily menu

€6.60

€12.90, and having tried a bit of her steak, I had to agree that it was very good. Our friend had ordered the hake (fritos de merluza), which came as fried cubes, at €10.50, which, although it looked good to me, reportedly failed to please entirely in the flavour stakes.

I ordered that well known dish of white beans with clams.

I thought that the portion was a little small, there were literally only four clams lurking in the bowl, and something in the

agus spears topped mainly with mashed avocado, a sprinkling of the inevitable red peppers and dressed with balsamic vinegar, and the second a portion of sweet black pudding, ver y crisply finished. The former was €3.75 and the latter €5. Both dishes were polished off with some gusto, although I found the black pudding to be much on the dry side. Perhaps it’s my Northern heritage?

It takes some time to shift, all that G & T, even with extra T. Eventually, we move on to our chosen eatery, the Tasca La Bellotina, at the far left hand end of the parade. Although we are regulars at the Terraza del Botanico, we have not eaten at La Bellotina before, though it is but a few paces away. We have been recommended to it by the owners of a bar in another town that we occasionally patronise (but more of them, perhaps, another time, if I am allowed).

Anyway, a (charged at €2.55) basket of bread and herby butter is quickly laid before us, without us asking for it but is nevertheless pronounced excellent. As is the bowl of complimentary olives that came a moment or two later.

As I said before…all a bit like the Curate’s Egg.

OM

Our friend is a big fan of Bombay Sapphire gin and the friendly young lady looking after us says that indeed she stocks this brand. She skips away and returns clutching the bottle, as if to prove it.

Two glasses are brought, like goldfish bowls, almost large enough for us to drown in, and we sit and savour the special flavour, which is really quite unique amongst gins.

Menus are handed out to us (in English, without us being asked). Do we really look so English? Not for the first time do I wish that restaurants offering an English translation of their menu would afford it the same care as they do with their cooking. I find it a bit off putting when I need to ask for the Spanish original just to find out exactly what I am likely to be getting.

from the start of our evening there, was still there on the table. One waiter and two waitresses had continued to ignore it entirely throughout the evening!

The first place to receive our custom this evening is one of our favourites, but which tonight is going to be relegated to be just a stopping place for a pre-dinner drink before the main event. It is the Terraza del Botanico, and, with its small but well-chosen menu, I have yet to find fault. This evening, my wife and I are accompanied by an old (well, older than me!) and ver y dear friend, and he persuades me towards his usual sun downer, gin and tonic, and a glass of red tincture for my wife.

This Tasca is, without doubt, an attractive place to dine. The main restaurant area is within an enclosed courtyard with a retractable roof for inclement weather, with the service areas to the rear. Tables are nicely laid, with acceptable space between, and we are made welcome. Adjacent, to one side, is a fairly newly erected pergola for extra tables.

sauce left a bitter aftertaste.

For €8.90, I would have liked more, and better.

So, for all of this, the three of us received a bill for €62.58 which, as well as that detailed individually above, included two small bottles of water, and two half carafes of house red at €6.90 each.

All will provide you with a decent meal, albeit entirely different in nature, from gourmet presentation to hearty pub grub.

Dear Dr. De La Flor Coaching Corner

W

Dear Dr. De La Flor,

e’ve reached the year’s Ecuador. Our New Year’s goals might be going well or simply getting rusty or perhaps even forgotten... At this stage, you might feel accomplished or sadly depressed, not only due to not achieving your goals but also secondary at the current uncertain economic times.

I’ve been having problems when I shave because in a couple of areas I have ingrowing hairs. It gets really messy. Any advice?

Thanks, John

Dear John, Razor bumps (also called pseudofolliculitis barbae) are small, irritated follicles on the skin that develop after shaving when strands of hair curl back on themselves and grow into the skin. It could occur literally on any hairy area of the body.

Those ‘rebel hairs’ cause irritation and the development of pimples. They also may cause scarring if they get infected and they are left untreated.

The first step should be prevention, and prevention entails preparation.

Use warm water before shaving, it will dilate small vessels, improving local circulation, softening the follicle and opening up the pores. Avoid stretching the skin when shaving and always shave in the direction your beard grows. Use the fewest razor strokes possible.

Remember to rinse with cold water. On periods when your skin seems too irritated you could use an electric

razor adjusted to a higher setting. Make sure you use a moisturising lotion after shaving. To actually treat razor bumps, use a sterile needle to release the embedded hair shaft. If possible, stop shaving for a few days. This usually stops razor bumps from developing, depending on the severity. However, when shaving is restarted razor bumps typically return.

Razor bumps will generally go away if shaving is stopped.

Hair removal products (depilatories) can be used instead of shaving. However, these products can irritate the skin and should be used only once or twice a week. Often you might need an antibiotic ointment and some local anti-inflammator y cream.

If the bumps get nasty, or you observe pus, please do not try ‘home surgery’, but rather call your GP for a personalised approach and an encompassing treatment and prevention plan. Hope you look sharp next time!

Best wishes.

My coaching corner this week is a simple reminder that, regardless of the ‘results’, 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 and eventually will pay juicy dividends. But please, don’t fall prey to the philosophy that not achieving something implies failure, disaster.

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

Even if I don’t know you personally, and for example, let’s say you have a child. Well, you’re much more of a heroine than you probably think; you are able and willing to sacrifice yourself to dozens of menial details to make the life of your

loved one better.

Let’s say you’re a bartender, and despite the fact that sometimes you have to put up with rude clients, you still tame your feelings and strive to maintain an empowering attitude during most of your exhausting day.

SO, my point is, regardless of where we are right now, let’s celebrate all those silent, wonderful details of self-sacrifice, those are true signs of love, of inner quality, of heroic display during your daily routine.

Let’s keep our chin up because most days you and I are trying our best and that’s what it is all about. You and I are much more than a statistic of goals achieved whether the goal was to overcome a certain financial status, fit into a dream bikini, or own an impressive sports car.

You and I are, we wake up daily and have the potential of a roaring tsunami. With a goal-oriented mind you and I can add love to dozens of menial tasks that can really transform ourselves and those that we encounter.

My prayers for everyone in pain - physical, emotional, spiritual - and a special prayer for all those unemployed. Talk to you in a couple of weeks.

Nutrition on the menu A

course that examines the nutritional value of the food we eat is on the menu at Adeje’s summer university this year.

The aim of the course is to provide basic nutritional knowledge that will enable us to fully understand the labels on the foods we buy, and will be led by Gonzalo Brito, professor in the Department of Analytical Chemistry, Nutrition and Food Sciences at the University of La Laguna. The course goes under the name

of ‘La calidad nutricional de los alimentos’ (nutritional quality of foodstuffs) and will run from July 16 to 20.

Anyone wishing to take part should contact the Adeje Cultural Centre on 922 756 246 or email uva@adeje.es.

Injection Fairy to the rescue I

n what is sure to come as music to the ears of parents everywhere, who have seen themselves resorting to blackmail or wrestling with their child when injection time comes around, it looks like help may soon be at hand in the shape of a new children’s book.

El Hada Vacunada (The Immunised Fairy, which doesn’t have quite the same ring in English) aims to dispel common fears held by youngsters over injections, and comes with worksheet exercises which teachers can work through with both parents and children. It is a joint venture between the min-

istries for health and education, which will see copies of the book being distributed in all preschool centres across the Canaries.

The project also hopes to explain to parents the fundamental importance of having their children immunised and to reduce the misleading, scientifically unfounded information being spread by antivaccine groups, that is seeing a growing trend of parents ignoring medical advice and not taking babies and children along for routine injections.

Hi everyone, Katy column

he celebrations for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee are over, and I, like thousands of other royalists, enjoyed watching everything that was available to those of us living here.

I felt such pride watching the magnificent ceremony in St Paul’s, and was reminded yet again that no country in the world could hold a candle to Britain when it comes to such occasions.

As the Queen left the cathedral, each lady she passed curtseyed and every man bowed his head, and I thought it was not only custom, but extremely fitting, and I wanted to say to her, “well done Your Majesty, a job very well done.”

But the best for me was the service from St Paul’s Cathedral, and listening to the children’s choir. There were children from all over Britain, brought together specially for the service with an anthem written especially for them. It reminded me so poignantly of my days as a teacher in a little junior school in Formby Merseyside, and brought home to me with a pang of nostalgia, how much I missed the children, especially those in my two choirs and orchestra.

Wonderful memories of wonderful music-making!

the man responsible for much of the great music in the sixties and seventies, was the legendary Phil Spector. A genius in his own field, but sadly, a flawed genius.

Phil collaborated with most of the famous singers and groups throughout his life.

But as the years rolled on, he seemed to withdraw from personal relationships altogether.

In 1980, he worked with the Ramones, and by then the nastier side of his personality was evident for all to see. The group had a meeting at Spector’s home and when they wanted to leave, he pulled out one of his guns, saying, “you don’t really want to leave do you?” This didn’t really frighten the group, but it can be understood that women who may have been alone with him in his mansion could be easily terrified.

Well done Alexander Cook

An hour later, the driver heard a gunshot, and then Spector exited the house by the back entrance holding a gun, saying to the chauffeur, “I think I just shot her.”

The chauffeur, Adriano de Souza rang 911 and Spector was arrested. He was given bail at $1 million, but insisted that Lana had committed suicide saying, “she kissed the gun”. The judge allowed testimony from many women who stated Spector had pulled a gun on them when they tried to leave.

He socialised a great deal in clubs, with the express intention of meeting young women. On February 3, 2003, he met Lana Clarkson at the House of Blues Club in West Hollywood. She was a beautiful actress and fashion model.

At 41 years of age she took some small extra jobs to supplement her income.

The trial began on March 19 2007 and was televised. It was a sensational trial, citing first degree murder. The defense’s forensic expert Henry Lee was accused of hiding evidence which prosecutors claimed would have proved Spector’s guilt, on September 26, 2007 a mistrial was declared because of a hung jury of 10 – 2.

Spector met her at the club where she’d been working part time for only a month, but she didn’t seem particu-

It begs the question that is often asked, in some cases, “can talent can be a destructive force, when the person feels that he or she is so important and talented that nothing and no one can be allowed to stand in the way of their desires?”

It is certain that the death of his son on Christmas Day, and his near death car accident must have had profound influences on his psyche, but his depressive and obsessive personality alone could have lead him to the same tragic circumstances in which he took a life.

Only he knows what truly happened and he refuses to tell.

he highway in the south of Tenerife now ends at the Atalaya roundabout of Adeje.

When the construction of the island’s ringroad is completed it will be connected to it. About a year ago the works started to adapt the Atalaya roundabout area to be ready in the near future for this connection. The works included demolishing the old road going to Los Menores with a water channel next to it, in front of the industrial zone where now also Lidl has been established, next to the Domasa business center. The once beautiful old palm tree

standing next to the now new road to Los Menores, since then does not get any water, because the water channel is gone and because there has not been any decent rain for almost two years. All her leaves turned brown and started to hang. I have been living here on and off since 1981 and could not stand the sad sight and started to water the palm tree about three months ago almost every week with eight water bottles of eight litres.

The palm tree is struggling, but still alive having some new green leaves. I am leaving for Germany to work in a couple of weeks and write to you, being well connected, to see if you could help the palm tree by getting attention for the watering problem, since the authorities seem not to care. Any suggestions, please,

Aries (Mar. 21 – April 19) Be clear on how you are going to deal with the nurturing issues that come to the surface. Don’t be concerned with what others should be doing; deal with them based on what they are doing. Be gentle but firm in your approach.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) It may have felt somewhat oppressive at times but the objective should be to learn when to be a good example to others and when to listen in order to better see yourself.

If you go with the flow and be generous you will reap tremendous benefit. Pride is for sissies!

Gemini (May 21 – June 21) Clean up any left over squabbles, let go of petty grievances and ask yourself what is needed to be a whole and accountable person. Our minds and activities, especially now, will lead us into social situations more than usual so remain as open and flexible as possible.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22) If there are romantic or artistic endeavours that you feel inclined to partake in, now is the time that they can be fuelled by your feelings. This time will also enable you to be much more spontaneous even though you usually don’t give in to urges unless they’ve been scrutinised for possible vulnerability to others.

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

this time. In March 2009 the trial went to the jury who found him guilty, and he was sentenced to 19 years to life in the Californian state prison system. He will be 88 years of age when he becomes eligible for parole.

because when I come back in a couple of years I hope to see the palm tree still there restored in all its glory?

Thanks in advance.

Leo (July 23 – August 22) Don’t be so secretive about your personal stuff.

Learn to share. I know you’re used to doing things on your own for lack of faith in others living up to your expectations but let it slide a bit…at least this time. You may find some pleasing additions in spite of past experience fears.

your peer group. Take the plunge.

Libra (September 23 – October 22) If you have any religious or spiritual focus, now is the time to assess how they are incorporated into your life.

Do your values reflect the actions you take and vice versa? Make sure this part of your life is solid otherwise nothing else will make sense and your conscience will eat you up like a piranha.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) Presently, you seem to be at the mercy of everyone else’s emotional tides. Generally, you look to others to provide your emotional security. The best way to handle the feeling of free floating is to give out the emotional nurturance and grounding to others that you’ve been looking for, for yourself.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) Decisions, responsibilities, communication and feelings are all coming from beneath the surface now.

This is working in conjunction with your sensitivity to your environment and your health.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) Relationships are about to go through a shift. The hardest struggle will be between when to share and when to be independent.

This knowledge doesn’t get any easier.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) Your career and social status are in flux right now.

You are much more able to ‘tune in’ to what others are feeling. Take your emotional temperature before you deal with specific people. In this way you can compare the before and after feeling to give you a good handle on what you are dealing with.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20) You can no longer live off the resources of past efforts.

You must begin anew. You are now setting the stage for the foundation of your social standing and future recognition.

We sent a report to the press about an event in the Wigan Arms at Starco and incorrectly gave the name of the bar as the Wigan Pier, which is of course owned by Charlie and Jane Hill in Torviscas Alto. So thanks go to the Wigan Arms and apologies to Wigan Pier.

On July 3, we have ‘Wateraid’. Can you help us raise €980 to pay the refuge water bill? If so, join us for a night of fine dining and entertainment at Restaurant Maria, El Nautico Suites, Golf del Sur. With fine entertainment from Suzy Q, Tanya Tevaro, Nick Page, Spencer Robson and guests, and a five star buffet, tickets are well worth the €15 price. I always say it, this is one place we always sell out, so book early by calling Suzy Q. The Gillian Banks Theatre School makes 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. Watch this space.

Don’t forget, we now have three fab shops at Churchill Square in Los Cristianos, opposite the Hotel La Niña in San Eugenio and in Costa del Silencio for some great bargains.

If you’d like to visit the refuge, to see the animals, bring us some old newspapers, sheets, towels, blankets etc. or volunteer a little of your time, the opening hours are Monday to Friday from 1pm to 5pm, 11am to 1pm Saturdays, and other times only with prior arrangement with Eugene on 648 918943.

Caring for older pets I

n the same way as people, pets need to have more regular check-ups as they get older.

Many vets now offer this service and, between their expertise and your careful home observations, any problems can hopefully be dealt with before they become serious.

Every one of our years is equivalent to between five and seven for a dog or cat, so an examination every six months is usually recommended. During the visit, the vet will look at various areas, for instance temperature, pulse and weight will be measured and the heart and lungs will be checked for early signs of heart and respiratory disease. Gums, teeth, tongue and palate will be inspected for looseness, tartar build up, tumours, infections and other problems.

The eyes will be closely scrutinised as they can reveal many health issues, including anaemia, infections, glaucoma, high blood pressure, jaundice, kidney problems and allergies, as well as cataracts, eye injuries and ulcers. The ears will be checked for parasites and other foreign objects.

Your pet’s skin will be examined for allergies and infections, fleas, ticks and other parasites, warts, tumours and any wounds that have been missed. The abdomen will be checked for, amongst other things, enlarged organs or painful areas, to detect

They would love a walk and a dip in the sea maybe, so if you do have any spare time or you would love to adopt a dog but are not able to for one reason or another then why not come down to Accion Del Sol and make a dog or two very happy. It’s a really nice area for walking next to the Parque Eólica and then down to the sea. Please call 922778630 for more information.

problems with the stomach, intestines, kidneys, liver or other organs. Also, the legs, feet, joints, muscles, lymph nodes, and even the nose, will all be looked at.

Your vet will ask questions about your pet’s recent health and behaviour. This is where you come in. Keep an eye out for anything unusual such as coughing, diarrhoea, reduced or heightened appetite, excessive panting or drinking, scratching, shaking, weight gain or loss, unwillingness to exercise, trouble getting up in the morning or signs of weakness or unbalance.

Your veterinarian may recommend other tests, such as routine blood and urine samples, or even x-rays if he finds any abnormalities during the consultation.

Our chosen companions cannot, unfortunately, tell us if something is wrong, so it’s up to us. If they haven’t had one for a while, do them a favour and book an examination today.

The €546 euros will be divided equally between that organisation and Candy Raya.

Candy Raya, from the town’s environmental department, is responsible for the collection and rehousing of abandoned dogs in the area. Many more events are planned for the future so watch out for further opportunities to help support the animals.

both of them. The German vets from Aktion Tier sent us information on tick treatment for cats which we’d like to share with you.

Ticks are blood sucking parasites that live on the exterior of your cat and left untreated can prove fatal.

Many pet owners buy repellent against ticks from the pharmacy or via the Internet, which are applied to the skin to ensure no ticks attach themselves. But please be aware some drugs are extremely toxic to cats.

No product containing the active ingredient permethrin, should be used on cats, as it is extremely toxic to them and will kill them very quickly. If such a product is used on your cat then

wash the pets’ skin as soon as possible and seek veterinary assistance immediately.

Ensure you use the correct drugs for your cats, most dog treatments are highly dangerous and toxic to cats.

Read product information carefully of drugs purchased via the Internet. Please also remember to keep your cat away from a dog which has recently be given a tick /flea treatment as this can also contaminate the cat. Aktion Tier advises purchasing products directly from your vet for the safety of your pet and for your own peace of mind.

Tiling Guide – Part 2 L

ast issue we covered all the necessary steps to make sure your wall is prepared for tiling. Now you just have to lay the tiles and do the grouting.

Sounds easy, right? In truth a lot of tiling is relatively straightforward, until you get to those hard to reach places, tricky corners, plug sockets, pipes, etc.

Check you have more than enough tiles to cover the area you intend to work on, as well as plenty of adhesive, and let’s get tiling!

The frame As we explained in Part 1, if you’re not very experienced at tiling, it’s very helpful to mark out a frame. Simply decide where you want your first row of whole tiles to begin, and attach two wooden battens to the wall, one horizontally, one vertically (using plumb lines and spirit levels to ensure they are straight, of course).

Adhesive Remember always to use clean, cold water when mixing powder adhesives, and always, always add powder to the water, not the other way around – you’ll end up with a very lumpy mixture otherwise.

Using an adhesive trowel, held at 45 degrees to the surface, cover an area that you can realistically manage to tile within 20 minutes or so and start placing your tiles.

Laying the tiles Using the wooden frame created by positioning vertical and horizontal wooden beams, press your first tile into the corner, making sure it is firm and flat.

Place plastic tile spacers at the corners to ensure an even distance between all tiles, and continue adding more tiles to the areas you have prepared with adhesive. Use a spirit level regularly to check that your tiles are level. The easiest way for inexperienced tilers is to continue laying as many whole tiles as you can, leaving any part tiles for later, rather than interrupting your work every few minutes to cut pieces.

If you’re laying a pattern, look carefully before you place your tiles, to avoid having to pull them off when they dry if you realise the pattern doesn’t match!

If you do decide to use the wooden battens as a guide, these can normally be removed after around 12 hours, when the tiles have set.

Cutting Almost no one is lucky enough to be able to use only whole tiles – there is almost always a need for some part tiles, be it in corners, under windows or around cupboards.

When you need part tiles you are going to have to cut them, which, though it sounds daunting, is not actually as complicated as you might imagine. You will need a tile cutter – a simple rail-type cutter is

perfectly suitable for ceramic tiles, but make sure the blade is in very good condition. Turn your tile face down, mark where you need to cut and score the surface (once should be enough). Natural stone and textured porcelain tiles need a wet saw.

If you have more complicated shapes, it’s advisable to make up a stiff paper or card template of the shape first then copy the outline on to the tile. And when cutting around the shape, hold on to the tile firmly to prevent it snapping from the vibrations.

Always wear protective goggles when cutting tiles!

Grouting Firstly, make sure that you have given the adhesive sufficient time to dry before you begin grouting.

This is normally 24 to 36 hours after laying the tiles. Buy a good quality grout – it’s often the case that you get what you pay for, as

with adhesive. Grout should be waterproof and mould resistant, and heat resistant if you’re tiling in the vicinity of a hob/cooker.

Other than that it’s up to you whether you go for white or coloured, depending on the effect you wish to create.

Spread a generous amount of grout over the tiles, at right angles (90 degrees) to the joins. If you’re working over a large area, a grout float will make your work easier.

Using a damp cloth, remove any excess grout before it has time to dry – anyone that has not followed this advice will be able to tell you how hard it is to remove grout when once it has dried!

Tips for bathrooms 1. Use a waterproof adhesive and grout.

2. Remove the toilet from the floor and tile underneath, rather than trying to work around it cutting tiles.

3. Fill your bath before you apply grouting and sealant around the bath area.

4. Mirror tiles are great for bathrooms and need no grout or adhesive, so are perfect for novice tilers. Instead they use adhesive pads, which are normally sold with the tiles, and you simply butt them up against each other with no gap in between.

Floor tiles – a word of warning Tiles can be laid on any floor surface, but there are some precautions needed. Concrete floors should be washed with washing-up liquid and warm water first. Wooden floors tend to move, and therefore need a rubber-based adhesive that moves with the floor. And if your floor is in a poor state, rather than wasting your efforts laying tiles that will almost certainly come up, screw a thin layer of plywood down to create an even surface, and apply your adhesive to that to lay your tiles.

ou’ve been look- falling into common traps or ing for what feels simply trying to cut corners. like ever, and finally Don’t be one of them! found a home that ticks all When renting: the boxes on your property wish list.

Congratulations!

Now, without wanting to burst your bubble, thousands upon thousands of happy homebuyers/renters have their dreams shattered every year,

• You love the apartment, but what about the neighbourhood; is it really right for you?

Spend a few days around the area if possible to really get a feel of the place, visit

• It’s normal to have to pay an administration fee when renting through an agency, but check whether there is also a contract renewal fee, as this can affect the real cost of renting through them, especially if your rental contract is a short term one.

• Make sure you fully understand the terms and conditions of the contract, particularly what you are liable for. For example, who is responsible for the utility bills, community fees, rubbish collection, minor repairs, etc.

• Before signing any contract (especially important if it’s not in your native tongue) be sure that you are fully aware of your legal and fiscal obligations, including cancelling or breaking the contract.

• Never, ever agree to rent a property without a contract.

When buying: • Do not sign anything or leave any deposit if your purchase depends on you get-

ting a mortgage first. Unless, of course, it is a token holding fee or an amount of money that you are prepared to lose.

• Read every single word of your mortgage contract before signing it.

Today more than ever no one can afford to make a silly mistake that could cost thousands in the long run.

• If you do not speak fluent Spanish, get a professional translator to pass all the important documents and contracts into English.

“Sorry, I didn’t understand

what I was signing” will not help you should things go wrong.

• If you are planning to let your property for part of the year, or at least would like the option somewhere down the line, make sure the rules of the community association allow it.

• Trust no one, not even if it means saving money. In the long run decisions such as not having a full survey carried out could cost you much, much more than the survey itself.

• As a final step, make absolutely sure that all necessary after sales administration is carried out; otherwise you could find that your property is not correctly registered in your name, nor the relevant taxes paid.

Fool the

Lexus pray

ord’s Easy Fuel sysF tem, which prevents the costly mistake of filling

your car with the wrong type of fuel, is also proving a hindrance to petrol and diesel thieves.

The hottest new hybrid in town

Car enthusiasts in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria got a treat recently with the presentation of the spectacular new Lexus GS 450h.

Benefiting from over a decade of Lexus leadership and innovation in Full Hybrid technology, the GS 450h delivers a thrilling performance, thanks to its powerful Lexus Hybrid Drive and all-wheel steering.

With a 3.5-litre V6 direct-injection Atkinson Cycle petrol

engine and two high-output electric motors, acceleration is smooth and fast (100 km/h in 5.9 s), with 20 per cent less fuel consumption and reduced carbon dioxide emissions.

The EV mode uses no petrol and emits no CO2, giving you an almost silent drive.

technology. The driver’s seat comes with 18-way electric adjustments for total comfort, while the passenger can enjoy the luxury of an electrically extending seat cushion for extra thigh and calf support.

The exterior is daring and dynamic in its design and the spacious, luxurious interior really does raise the bar for comfort, craftsmanship and the very latest in

Other breakthrough features include energy-saving electronic air conditioning that only cools those seats that are occupied and a world-first na-

Renault

Other features include the widest multimedia screen on the market and full LED ambient white cabin lighting.

The Lexus GS 450h is on sale now and is expected to arrive in the Canaries in September. Prices start from €69,000.

Ecofriendly The Lanzarote Chamber Commerce recently signed agreement with Renault promote electric vehicles the island.

noe technology which releases ions into the cabin to protect your skin and hair while deodorising the upholstery.

The system, fitted as standard to top-selling models, including the Ford Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo, was introduced to ensure simple and error free refuelling, but it also makes syphoning extremely difficult.

The spring-loaded flap is held closed by two latches that can only be released by a standard-size fuel nozzle. When the correct one is inserted into the neck of the system, the latches release and the nozzle pushes open the flap. When the nozzle is removed, the flap is automatically and firmly closed by the powerful spring.

The inhibitor is a fuel nozzle detector that directs the nozzle to the opening.

If a tube of a different size, for instance a diesel nozzle or plastic hose, is positioned in the filler neck of a vehicle that runs on petrol, the latches simply will not release.

Music makers of an to on

The car company will be involved in educating the public about this eco-friendly method of transport and has also provided the cham-

ber with a free electric car, a Renault Twizy, which can travel 100km, when charged, at a maximum speed of 80 km/h and will be used for public works. Anyone wishing to see the car can do so by visiting the Business Innovation Centre where it will have its own parking space.

One of the new models that Volkswagen showcased at the Auto Mobil International show in Leipzig, Germany, is a music lover’s dream.

The Beetle Fender was first shown as a concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 2011. About to be released on the market at the beginning of 2013, it comes with a 400 watt, high qual-

ity Fender audio system, complete with 10-channel amplifier. And just like many of Fender’s celebrated guitars, the car’s dashboard is finished in two-tone ‘Sunburst’ wood, complemented by a chrome Fender logo. Each buyer will also receive three limited edition Fender guitar picks.

Don’t cut corners

As fuel prices rise and the economy shows no signs of improving, road safety organizations are warning of the dangers of cutting back on car maintenance.

It’s easy to think that we can save a few hard earned euros by leaving it to the last minute to buy new tyres or skipping the odd service, but in reality this could lead to much more expensive complications further on.

Not only that, but regular maintenance could mean that potentially life threatening mechanical faults can be dealt with before they put you and your family at risk.

Boxing

Failed ACB bid :

By George Reed

Boxing stories

stranger than fiction Continued from back page

However, the man’s parachute got entangled in a bank of ring lights. Then, in what appeared to be slow motion, the man descended further in jerky movements and then became wrapped up in the ring ropes, struggling weakly to get free.

By then the crowd were going berserk as the two fighters stopped fighting and looked on in astonishment. Bowe’s manager had already had enough for one night due to his boxer’s performance and he dived on the still entrapped parasailer and was followed by Bowe’s corner men and a number of very angry fans baying for vengeance.

Mobile phones appeared to be the handiest weapons as they laced into the victim. Unconscious, the parasailer was eventually rescued by security guards and sent to hospital. The fighters had 22 minutes rest during the episode and when they commenced boxing once again for the final six rounds Holyfield boxed very cleverly keeping clear of Bowe’s big shots and regained his title on points.

However, it wasn’t the end of the night’s drama for a the bell rang to end the last round, the two boxers carried on knocking hell out of each other and as the referee tried to break them up, he walked on to a terrific punch thrown by Bowe.

Some say it was the best punch he delivered all night.

Hundreds of remarkable events have happened in the boxing game over the years. One unusual incident happened way back in 1860 during the first heavyweight championship fight for the world title, between England’s Tom Sayers and American John C. Heenan.

It was a bare fist fight to the finish, but after a rough 37 rounds, the ropes were cut and part of the crowd surged into the ring. The two fighters’ supporters set into each other as the referee did a disappearing act, but the fighters decided to continue after things settled down, but without the missing referee.

After another five rounds and two hours and ten minutes of brutal battering, the first heavyweight world title fight ended in a draw. As there was no referee to give a verdict, championship belts were eventually given to both men.

These are just two true stories of the many happenings in boxing, which have been pure theatre without a script. It’s no surprise that there have been more movies made about boxing than any other sport.

International League Special >>

Repercussions likely

T

he sad outcome to the bid

by Iberostar Canarias to join the money-spinning ACB basketball league after winning promotion, could have massive repercussions both here and in Spain.

As reported in our last edition, the La Laguna side hit the sporting headlines when it had to cancel plans to return to the big time after a 20-year absence because it could not raise the €4.5 million fee required by the league. The news has already led several top figures in basketball to demand a rethink of the elitist approach of the ACB to take account of the current economic climate.

Many clubs with promotion prospects have found it hard to get to the end of the season let alone raise millions of euros to take up a place in the world’s second best league and there is growing support for the fee to be scrapped immediately or the league could price itself out of existence.

Champions, but no promotions

On the local level, the failed bid looks set to trigger a bitter power struggle between Iberostar Canarias and neighbours CB Tenerife. The island’s Cabildo has threatened to use its majority stake in the latter to hand control over to Canarias in an enforced merger, which would see Tenerife demoted to junior basketball. The merger is needed to allow Canarias to use the Tenerife name and corporate identity next season, in order to then be able to access the big deposit left by Tenerife when it last played in the ACB in 2005.

A late collapse saw the modest club drop to sixth, just three points off the lucrative fourth place, but it was still enough to earn a place in the Europa Cup and bring European football for the first time in the club’s 100-year history. 25-year-old Rodríguez, who scored 29 goals in his two seasons at Elche, has signed for two years.

No China super cup

Spain’s big two football clubs have scuppered plans to stage the annual curtain-raiser to the season in China.

The Spanish FA had negotiated a €30 million deal with a big Chinese sponsor to stage the SuperCup between the League and Cup winners in Beijing’s massive Bird’s Nest stadium, which was built for the 2008 Olympics, for five seasons as of 2013. However, although they would have meant substantial revenue for the clubs concerned, the plans have been vetoed by Real Madrid and Barcelona, who say playing the showcase game abroad would deprive fans of the chance to watch the match live. FA sources have expressed surprise at the veto given that both big clubs voted in favour of changing the kick-off time for one important fixture every Sunday (now played at 12 noon) to accommodate Chinese viewers.

Surprise Lobera appointment

Tenerife miss out on promotion As soon as the pairing with SD Ponferradina was confirmed plans were made to get as many fans as possible to the town of Ponferrada in the province of Castilla & Leon, 420 kilometres northwest of Madrid. Some hatched their own plans and also Viajes Halcon stepped in at a late hour to provide charter flights.

The trips were longwinded affairs though, one involving an overnight stay in Gran Canaria and another an eight-hour stop off in Lanzarote before flying on to Madrid, where a five-hour coach journey awaited.

But around 600 fans eventually arrived in good spirits at the team hotel in Ponferrada with hours to spare. The game started at a frantic pace, as you would expect for a final, with neither side creating clear chances.

Aragoneses in the Tenerife goal was equal to everything Ponferradina could muster as he turned around the post a fierce drive by Isaias. The play was fairly even but luck run out for the blanquiazules just before halftime when a waist-high ball struck Pablo Sicilia on the arm after a near post corner was flicked on. A harsh penalty indeed. Yuri took his chance and put the home side into the lead. As the heavens opened as they often do in this part of Spain the conditions suited the home side. The second half was dominated by Ponferradina and CD Tenerife found it hard to keep the ball. In fact Santa Cruz-born Acorán missed a golden chance to seal the game for the home side when he missed an open goal header. More chances were fluffed by Ponferradina on the rain soaked pitch and as the referee blew his final whistle the general feeling amongst fans was that Tenerife had got away with only a 1-0 defeat.

PLAY OFF FINAL 2ND LEG CD Tenerife 1 Ponferradina 2

This was D-Day with a capital D for the blanquiazules but it turned into a disaster. Already 1-0 down from the first leg CD Tenerife needed to score at least two goals to win the tie or with a 1-0 victory take the game to penalties.

In the end Ponferradina cheered on by 200 travelling supporters controlled the game and deservedly won promotion to the Spanish 2nd division. Fever pitch describes the atmosphere, where a bumper crowd of 18,798 greeted the team onto the pitch with

flares, smoke bombs, confetti and a giant card display. Tenerife welcomed back Victor Bravo to the team. They were at full strength, there were no excuses now. Ponferradina, relegated along with Tenerife last season, had kept the backbone of their team and it showed. Over the two legs Ponferradina were more disciplined on the pitch and read the matches to perfection. They used the passionate atmosphere in the Heliodoro Stadium to their advantage and due to the fact that Tenerife found it hard to keep the ball for any length of time (think England), the supporters took their frustrations out on the referee. Having said that referee Coscolla decided that he wanted to be the ‘star of the show’ and may as well have been wearing the black shirt of the away side.

At half-time the game was 0-0 and still in the balance. On 55 minutes that balance had swung very much Ponferradina’s way as Kitoko was judged to have tripped Acorán in the box and a penalty was given. Another very harsh penalty, which Yuri conversted, and to cap it off Kitoko received a direct red card. With ten men on the pitch, a three goal margin to make up and the thermometer pushing 33 degrees Celsius there was no way back and the promotion dream was finished for another year. Ten minutes later the visitors were 2-0 up and the rest of the half was played out almost as a training session pace. Kiko Raton pulled a goal back late on but it was hardly a consolation. The typical end of season pitch invasion was half hearted but some dejected blanquiazul players like Raul Llorente did get carried off the field shoulder high by fans. In contrast in the background the Ponferradina players celebrated their promotion. So, a farce of a season or not? The sole objective was to return to the second division and the budget set was one of the biggest at this level. Tenerife finished second in the league and after winning two play-offs made the final so we enjoyed excitement to the very end. Next season we will back stronger, the 10,000 loyal fans deserve it!

he Canary Islands will once again welcome some the world’s best surfers to compete for one of the most prestigious accolades in the field.

Four of the Islands are expected to host legs of the Professional Windsurfer’s Association Championships.

Lanzarote is currently holding a Freestyle section at Las Cucharas beach, Costa Teguise, until June 30, followed

by Pozo Izquierdo, Gran Canaria, between July 2 and 7 and the Grand Slam in Sotavento,

Fuerteventura, between July 20 and 30.

At the time of going to press one more component of the World Tour was still waiting for confirmation, that of El Médano, Tenerife for July 12 – 18.

Thanks to the archipelago’s special mix of wind, sun and waves during the whole year the Canary Islands has become a global benchmark - a unique destination in Europe for the practice of all water sports that is particularly popular with surfers.

Many

international stars make it their base and several of the top surfers originate from here.

During the competition look out for local hopefuls like, Nayra Alonso, brothers Eleazar Alonso Sanchez and Jonas Ceballos Sanchez.and the Morena twins, Iballa and Daida, from Gran Canaria.

Further information can be found at http://www.pwaworldtour.com

The saga of what has been called the ‘sour science’ at times achieves peaks of interest and excitement that are found in no other recreation or entertainment.

It’s a sport that attracts eccentrics and maybe you have to be a bit crazy to have anything to do with the game of fisticuffs. But not all the thrills are to be found in the padded ring, for it’s the side shows which often furnish the laughs, pathos, colour and the dream that makes boxing what it is.

One of the most unexpected and strangest events I ever witnessed happened at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas in 1993, outdoors. Evander Holyfield was attempting to regain the world heavyweight crown he had lost to Riddick Bowe the previous year, but not many fans gave him much of a chance against the heavier and harder puncher Bowe, who was the red-hot betting favourite. However, by the end of the sixth round, the underdog, Holyfield, had jabbed his way to a clear points lead.

Then as the two fighters were battling it out in the seventh round, with two minutes to go, thousands of fan’s eyes turned to the sky to see a parasailer descending, obviously intending to make an impressive entrance right into the ring.
