editorial Well, what a week it has been! Down at Vivo Decades, we’ve got a week off from the show, as the venue welcomes the Scooter boys and girls, who are here on a long weekend, meaning there is no Decades dinner dance until next Thursday and the cast are enjoying a well-earned break. That doesn’t mean that the rest of us haven’t been busy, as the mid-week carvery is getting busier day by day, with the excellent food speaking for itself, the live entertainment on the front terrace has been extended from 2pm to 6pm thanks to the very welcome addition of Mr. andy briggs who we are so happy to welcome on to the team!

andy is certainly no stranger to the island, having lived here for most of his life, but he’s a fairly new act on the entertainment scene – although you wouldn’t know it, he is a great acoustic guitarist/vocalist, he takes well known songs from almost every style of music, and makes them his own. add to that the fact that he’s a genuinely nice guy with a great rapport with the audience, i can honestly say i’m very excited about our Vivo afternoon sessions! andy and i are live from 2pm every day during the carvery. apart from that, all our regular columnist have still provided informative, entertaining and tasty articles for you to enjoy, even though

many are on their holidays. So enjoy reading and if you are free on any afternoon, come and see us for great food and fantastic entertainment!

ere’s the kind of election i can actually get excited about! this Wednesday, 26th of February, at the Centro internacional de Ferias y Congresos in santa Cruz at 9.30pm, one lucky lady will be crowned Queen of the Carnival 2014 at the Gran Gala de elección de la Reina del Carnaval 2014.

The Wednesday before Carnival weekend, is always the day that the Queen of the Carnival is elected. It is a very big deal and huge honour for the lucky winner among

the hopeful beauties. The event is usually broadcast to the entire country, and abroad by satellite. During the gala, the candidates parade across the main stage. A jury composed of members of the municipal corporation and celebrities chooses the queen; there is also a vote via SMS (short messaging service). After choosing the bridesmaids, the mayor hands the scepter to the winner. Since the costumes are heavy, the candidates rely on wheeled transportation. The costumes are also expensive, so the candidates are sponsored (usually by a multinational corporation with a presence on the islands). The Hogar Canario Venezolano also sends its own Queen and holds a privileged position in the next Announcement Parade. Costumes are usually made

of feathers, plastic, metal and paper. The queen is responsible for representing the carnival at tourism fairs as an ambassador for the Canary Islands. There are also elections held for the child Queen and the elderly Queen. All three take pride of place on the floats during the parade along Avenida de Anaga on Carnival Tuesday, the highlight and finale of the Carnival. For those who don’t know, Arona elects their own Queens, the election for the main Queen takes place the day after the Santa Cruz election, at the Valdes Center, Starting at 9pm on Thursday 27th February.

Teide’s Winter Whites photo by Gerard Zenou.

laST WeeKenD brought us another set of weather warnings, and with the gale force winds and extreme cold (for Tenerife anyway) came more rain and snow, with with many mountain

roads closed and snow ploughs working to clear the huge drifts that had built up in many places… but at least Teide looked pretty in her finest winter whites, as Gerard’s photo shows.

concerned Hi Marc, I write to you as a person who has been holidaying in Tenerife since 1986 and now stay here for 12 weeks over the winter period .The apartment where we stay is located on the Calle Victor Zorita Solar the home to the very busy Piramedes Hotel .Since we have been here this year there have been at least five muggings in the Calle and most nights prostitutes are in the street approaching any man on his own trying to pick pockets they even tried to get a man in a wheelchair refusing to leave him alone till some men chased them away they approached me when I was watching some friends go home after an evening with us. Last week an elderly couple coming out of Iceland had 150 euros stolen. Why is it you see the Police up and down by the beach during the day but never

about at night when the serious crimes are taking place? Perhaps they will finally be happy when people no longer come to Tenerife once people move on it is very difficult to get them back. Yours, a very concerned visitor who loves this island. editors response: Dear reader, Thank you for your letter, i certainly understand your concern, this area has often been a problem area and certainly requires policing as you say. i only hope that more people like you speak up, then finally the powers that be might take notice and clean up areas like this that, thankfully are becoming scarcer on this beautiful island that i love so much.

by janetanscombe.com

a group of eight walkers has had to be rescued from Montaña Blanca in Las Cañadas after retreating from the refuge Alta Vista after attempting to climb Teide. One of them, a young Chinese woman from Madrid, was on the point of being taken to hospital with severe hypothermia but said she felt better and the transfer was aborted. The group was rescued by the Guardia Civil’s Mountain Rescue Unit and the Canarian Government’s Search and Rescue team a man has been arrested in Santa Cruz for knocking down and killing the man found dead on the TF1 on Valentine’s day morning . Emergency services were called out call around 5.20am but on arrival, paramedics could do nothing other than confirm his death at the scene. Gruesomely, police say that remains of the dead man’s organs were found underneath his car. He has been tested for alcohol and drugs and the results are awaited. There is no news at present as to whether the detainee was also responsible for the second accident on the Avenida Marítima. Shortly after the man was fatally knocked down, another accident was recorded on the Avenida Marítima, the TF4 extension road down to the auditoriuim and harbour. At present, they are treating it as a serious possibility that it’s the same vehicle involved in two hit and run accidents this morning. There is no detail on the second accident yet. Bomberos have found the 29-year-old who was reported missing at 10pm last evening. His family had called in emergency services after leaving him at the top of the barranco to walk down to the coast. a 40-year-old woman has died after being knocked down by a van on the TF-657 Aldea Blanca-Buzanada-La Camella road. The accident happened just before 9am on Valentine’s Day, and emergency services found her with such critical head injuries that they were unable to do anything to save her life. She was pronounced dead at the scene. It now appears that this was a tragic accident after an unattended van which was parked at the side of the road started moving after its handbrake failed. The vehicle crossed the road and ran into a wall just where the woman happened to be. air sea rescue were mobilised in the main port of La Palma after a prank backfired yesterday afternoon. Apparently when a young German tourist jumped from the cruise liner Aida into the sea his companion sounded the alarm after he did not appear to surface. The Santa Cruz de La Palma Maritime Rescue boat scoured the sea around the cruise liner and a GES helicopter was scrambled to search from the air. After two hours, the young man appeared back on the liner; after jumping into the sea he swam to one of the pontoons and was perfectly safe. Authorities are considering what action to take, swimming in the port waters is expressly forbidden, after this costly exercise as the result of a joke in very bad taste. the Guardia Civil have detained 2 people and charged 3 more in connection with the robbery of ten thousand metres of copper wire from various locations in the north of Tenerife. The accused, who come from the Tacoronte and Puerto de la Cuz areas, sold the stolen metal worth around 43,000 euros, via the internet and also to recycling plants. In some cases local inhabitants were left without street lighting after the thieves struck, mostly during weekends and at night time. Officers are now investigating whether the recipients of the stolen metal were aware of its illicit origin. the Cabildo has announced that Tenerife started the year with an increase of 3.7% on last January’s tourist numbers. After last year’s record-breaking figures, President Carlos Alonso said that figures were again up whichever data one looked at, and that January’s visitors boded well for 2014. Some 402,494 holidaymakers stayed in tourist accommodation here last month, both hotels, apartments and rural houses. British and German visitors continue to be Tenerife’s two main markets, with Scandinavian visitor numbers increasing some 15%. Russian holidaymakers are the fourth major market. Also showing good growth, however, are the markets the tourist authorities are now giving paying attention, namely France, Italy, Ireland, Switzerland, Austria and eastern Europe. The only figures to decrease were the Dutch and Belgian markets.

eneRiFe is increasingly known as a location for “activity” holidays like walking, windsurfing, star gazing, golfing, etc.

These are part of the niche markets that the tourism authorities are hoping will attract “upmarket” holidaymakers. There are, however, risks to many such activities, particularly those like barranco hiking and paragliding, and in 2012, the Canarian Government passed a law which introduced a charge for emergency rescues for those undertaking “risky activities”. The Canaries is not the only autonomous region to do this, with similar laws in place in Cantabria, Catalonia and the Basque Country. Here, the so-called “Ley de Tasas”, properly Ley 4/2012 de 25 de junio de medidas administrativas y fiscales, allows for charges to be made up to a maximum of 6,000 euro when rescues are required because of recreational or sporting activities that involve risk or danger. Charges towards costs for emergency assistance can be made when the participant was undertaking an activity defined by the law as risky (see list below) failed to obey official warning instructions or bans failed to observe warning signs was undertaking a banned activity was undertaking an activity without required authorization was undertaking an activity without equipping themselves appropriately The Ley de Tasas sets charges in terms of the numbers needing rescue, and so a rescue involving up to 4 victims will have a ceiling of 6,000 euro. In very rare cases where larger groups are involved the ceiling will be set at 8,000 euro for 5-8 needing rescue, 10,000 euro for 9-16, and 12,000 euro for 16+. The law also allows that the charges will be levied against the estate of anyone who dies during their rescue; a measure which the regional Goverment insists complies with the provisions of national fiscal legislation. The list of activities classified by the law as risky is the following.

The translation is immediately below the list in Spanish – some of these I just don’t recognize in any language! others are universally recognizable. submarinismo, travesía de natación, windsurfing, flysurf, esquí acuático, wakeboard, wakesurf, skurfer, motos de agua, bodyboard, surf, rafting, hydrospeed, piragüismo, remo, descenso de cañones y barrancos, puenting, goming, kite buggy, quads, escalada, espeleología deportiva o “espeleismo”, bicicleta en montaña, motocross, vehículos de motor en montaña, raid y trec hípico, marchas y turismo ecuestre, esquí, snowboard, paraski, snowbike, skibike, aerostación, paracaidismo, salto base, vuelo de ultraligeros, vuelo en aparatos con motor y sin motor, parapente, ala delta y parasailing. scuba diving, open sea swimming, windsurfing, kitesurfing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, wakesurf, skurfing, jet skiing, bodyboarding, surfing, rafting, hydro, kayaking, rowing, descending barrancos, bungee jumping, kite buggy, quads, rock climbing, pot holing, mountain biking, motocross, mountain motorbiking, equestrian trekking, horse riding, skiing, snowboarding, paraskiing, snowbiking, skibiking, hot air ballooning, parachuting, base jumping, ultralight flying, powered paragliding, paragliding, hang gliding and parasailing.

Spanish Celebrations, Part 2.

ast time I covered the celebrations, religious and others, that Britain and Spain, and of course The Canary Islands all participate in, albeit not always in the same manner! This week I’m going to take a look at some of the primarily Spanish fiestas and celebrations. I’ve omitted a few that have been covered in articles from other issues and I’m sure there are dozens more that I have missed, so feel free to write in with any interesting celebrations you may have come across!

When it comes to fiestas, Spaniards have an abiding respect for the past, and the sillier the tradition, the more tenaciously they cling to it. “The most serious and reasonable people, such as the Spaniards, are the craziest when it comes to having fun,” wrote Antoine de Brunel, a French nobleman visiting Spain in the 17th century. Some Spanish festivals, such as the running of the bulls in Pamplona or la Tomatina, or tomato fight, in Buñol, have become known around the world. Less publicized, but no less unusual, is the 400-year-old baby jumping festival in the village of Castrillo de Murcia. Each year, townsmen dressed in devils’ costumes make running leaps over recently born babies. That rids the infants of original sin, legend holds. In the venerable feast of Santa Marta de Ribarteme in As Neves, people who have recovered from a serious illness or accident give thanks by allowing themselves to be paraded through the streets in open coffins. “This may be the only place in the world where you can rent a coffin,” said parish priest Alfonso Besada, who uses the same wooden boxes year after year. In Santa Cruz de la Palma, people dance the polka in dwarf costumes. In Murcia, revelers burn a giant papier-mâché sardine after a parade and a reading of the sardine’s last will. There is a fiesta where partyers walk on fire. There is another where they leap into the water and snatch ducks. In a host of different festivals involving hurling things, Spaniards pelt each other with wine, water, flour and flowers. Sometimes Spain can be a very surreal place, where you might hear Christmas carols in August (as part of the New Year’s Eve in August celebrations), the fountains are filled with wine (in Cadiar in February and October and in Toro, Castilla y Leon in August) and farmers march their sheep through the centre of Madrid just because they can. It is a country where some of the world’s most traditional festivals take on a peculiar twist – such Salamanca’s bizarre Easter Monday tradition of welcoming back the city’s ‘ladies of the night’ after their expulsion for Lent (in their Lunes de Aguas festival). We’ve all heard of The Tomatina tomato fight, it is one of the most famous of Spain’s bizarre festivals, but it isn’t the only time the Spanish throw things at each other. In Lanjarón in the Alpujarras (near Granada), the locals have a giant water fight each June 24th. A little stickier is the Batalla del Vino in Haro, La Rioja each June 29th, where the locals fight each other with wine. Of course, La Rioja is one of Spain’s most important wine region, so there’s plenty to spare.

I’ve told you about the battle of the rat in El Puig before... but how about ant throwing? Not just any ants… biting ants! To make sure these biting ants that you are to throw at friends and family are on full form, they are previously doused in vinegar which apparently keeps them extra feisty! This is what the inhabitants of Laza, Galicia do at Carnival time each year! The Cascamorras in Baza and Gaudix, Granada, (September 6th and 9th) just seems like an excuse for an entire town to gang up on one poor bloke. An old battle between the two towns is reenacted, where an inhabitant of Gaudix is sent to Baza to steal the image of the Virgen de la Piedad. Legend has it that if this person can do so without getting dirty, it is said he gets to bring back the statue to Guadix, so he is pelted with tar and paint and inevitably fails in his quest. He then returns to Gaudix, where he is pelted again for having failed. And this happens every year. You’d think they poor guy would book a weekend away! If dead rats, ants, tar and paint don’t sound very appealing, you can always let Lou Reed-loving Valencians viciously try to hit you with flowers in the Batallas de los Flores (Battle of Flowers). Bulls have always had a bit of a hard time in sunny Spain, although alot of them get their own back in Pamplona! Here are some more animals that should run for the hills come fiesta time! Early September in Lekeitio (Lequeiti), the Fiesta de los Gansos (Goose Festival) sees a dead goose hung over the harbour while men jump to catch hold of it, trying to see who can hold on for the longest. Animal rights activists have had some success here, as in the past the goose would have been alive when this was done. Another famous event is the tossing a goat from a bell tower in Manganeses de la Polverosa. The festival arose when a local priest once had a goat which he took to nearby villages so that the poor could take some milk. One Sunday the goat climbed up the church bell tower and was startled when the bell rung and fell. Luckily the goat was saved by a man with some tarpaulin. So to celebrate the luck of this famous goat… they began each year to test the luck of other goats by throwing them from the top of the church bell tower. You won’t be surprised to hear that these other goats were often not so lucky. Completely bizarre, unbelievably cruel and thankfully, now illegal. The town council outlawed the event in 1992, even though it was ominously admitted at the time that what people do in their own time is their own business.

getting ready For School?

s youR ChiLd ready to start school?

It’s amazing how quickly the time goes and already the Infant and office staff of Wingate School have a list of children who are ready to start school in September, some for Nursery (3/4yrs), some for Reception class (4/5yrs). So what goes on in a Nursery or Reception class? Don’t the children just play? Not at all, although obviously play is an important aspect of a child’s learning. Perhaps I can shed some light on what goes on at our school. In our Nursery and Reception classes, we follow the Foundation Curriculum as in Britain. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this curriculum, it is basically the National Curriculum for 3-5 year olds and falls into the following six areas of learning: 1. Personal, Social and Emotional – develops social skills, positive attitudes towards their learning and towards others and exploring their own feelings as well as valuing others. 2. Communication, Language and Literacy – providing opportunities for the children to talk and communicate in a widening range of situations, to practise and extend the range

of vocabulary and communication skills they use and to listen carefully. There are opportunities for the children to experience a rich variety of books as well as to explore, enjoy and learn about and use words and text. 3. Mathematics – to develop the children’s understanding of number, measurement, pattern, shape and space by providing a broad range of contexts in which they can explore, enjoy, learn, practise and talk about them. 4. Understanding the World – with opportunities for all children to solve problems, make decisions, experiment, predict, plan and question in a variety of contexts, and to explore and find out about the environment and people and places that have significance in their lives. 5. Physical Development – with opportunities for the children to practise their fine and gross motor skills ( from cutting out a shape to batting a ball!) and to increase their understanding of how their bodies work and what they need to do to be healthy and safe. 6. Expressive Arts and Design – providing opportunities for the children to explore, and share their thoughts, ideas and feelings through a variety of art, design and technology, music, movement, dance and imaginative and role play activities.

Sounds daunting? Not at all! Our emphasis in Nursery is for the children to learn through play, in a warm, caring and stimulating environment, whilst being prepared for the next step – Reception class – the following year. Due to the excellent staff /pupil ratio, the children are involved in more meaningful play

and therefore achieve greater results. The Nursery and Reception classes work closely together and meet for various sessions during the week, for example assemblies and music, as well as integration sessions, where members of the Reception class join the Nursery children to help their social, communication and co-operation skills. Once the children start Reception, it’s time to learn how to be good little readers and by the end of Reception class all the children can read books of varying levels and write simple words or sentences. So, what do you do if you have a child who is Nursery or Reception age and want to enrol in Wingate School? Well, if your child has his/her 3rd birthday before 1st September 2014 (Nursery age) or a 4th birthday before 1st September 2014 (Reception age) why not come and visit the school. There is so much more to see than I’ve been able to describe here. Appointments can be made, and enrolment forms obtained through the school office. We will hap-

pily give you a tour and staff can answer any questions you may have. And if your child is too young but you would like to consider British education for next year I would advise you to fill in the necessary forms now to avoid disappointment! Places are limited. To make an appointment, or for further details, please contact Julia in our school office on 922 72 0102. Or have a look at our website - www.wingatschool.com Miss Lynne Pearson Head of Infants

Fly DireCt to Dakar

The cabildo and binter airlines have announced the new flight, that leaves Tenerife north every Wednesday to the Senegalese capital

eneRiFe WiLL have a new direct connection to senegal from march 26th. this route, which will be operated by Binter, linking the island with dakar will last approximately two hours and ten minutes. the president of the Cabildo, Carlos alonso, and the president of Binter, Pedro agustín del Castillo, presented the new flight during the course of a ceremony held at the Palacio insular, also present were action exterior, delia herrera, and other regional

and island authorities and members of the senegalese community in the island

Alonso said the new connection “is the result of intense negotiations between the council and the Senegalese Government to ratify the close relationship between the two territories not only in the area of connectivity but also through other areas of cooperation in the field of agriculture, municipal modernization, health, connectivity and renewable energy. “ The president of Senegal, Macky Sall rated this connection as a definitive commitment under this partnership that “will strengthen ties in dif-

ferent fields of action in which the two institutions work together as the case of the use of solar energy, tropical medicine, which has resulted in the creation of a laboratory for the study of these diseases, not to mention the trade.” Macky Sall finally encouraged Senegalese and Tenerife businessmen to work together on projects of different economic sectors. For his part, President of Binter, Pedro Agustín del Castillo, has highlighted the commitment of Binter with the Archipelago and the efforts being made by the airline to ensure connectivity to the Canary Islands with neighboring countries, to enable access of island businesses to new markets. The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Delia Herrera, commended the company for its commitment and thanked the Senegalese government collaboration “that this flight has gone ahead.” This route to Dakar and two are direct connections from Tenerife to the African continent, after a few months the company Royal

man ‘o’ war jellyfish had washed up overnight. Possibly due to the high temperatures for the time of year as well as rough seas, which can cause them to spawn early and be washed up in large numbers.

Air Maroc premiered their regular flight between Tenerife and Casablanca. The flight will depart from Senegal to Tenerife North to 16.15 hours every Wednesday and then heading back to the Archipelago, taking off at 18.05 the African country. The beginning of this new connection from Tenerife match replacement tickets Binter currently performs with Dakar route a Bombardier CRJ200, for

a new appliance, CRJ900, which will increase the number of seats per flight by 80%. The route to Senegal, a country at a distance of about 1,800 miles from the Canary Islands and the most westerly point of the African continent, is the last that has incorporated the Canary airline to its international programming. Binter went international in 2005, with flights to Madeira, Marrakech and

Laayoune. Since then it has been adding new destinations abroad-Casablanca, Agadir, Praia, Lisbon and Dakar-Banjul so that currently offers a total of 9 international routes. Tickets for the new international programming are now available through all sales channels of the airline-www.bintercanarias. com, 902 391 392, travel agencies and Binter sales offices in the airports.

every year. “The Walk for Life began as a personal project; I wanted to create an event to raise awareness among people about the importance of early detection of breast cancer, which was considered a taboo subject in the past. For that reason I involved my family, my friends and acquaintances all of whom were happy to support the cause”, Brigitte says. Each year the Walk for Life sends all the monies raised to the Amate and Spanish Cancer Association who use the money to treat women resident in South Tenerife who are suffering from breast cancer. These organisations care for and help those persons suffering from the disease and their families. During the ten years of the Walk for Life the organisers and charities have been able to offer psychological help, all kinds of assessments, residential options for patients who have to travel long distances for chemotherapy treatments, help such as free wigs, make up workshops, transport to hospitals, etc Brigitte Gypen promises that she will continue to “walk for life” for as long as she can, because there are always things that can be improved. The Abinque prize will be awarded during a dinner celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8th in the Costa Adeje Tourism Development Centre (the CDTCA). For the second consecutive year men are also welcome to the dinner. As the mayor has said, “we want to advance equality, eliminate barriers that separate men and women and share moments of celebration and we recognise that this is a day

to commemorate the advances already made by women in equality of opportunities but we also need to remember that there is still work to be done to achieve real and effective equality. With that in mind we invite everyone to take part”. People interested in acquiring tickets for the dinner should contact the Adeje department of Equality in the town’s Cultural Centre the history of the abinque prize Created in 2004, the Abinque prize has recognised the work of a number of individuals and collectives, including the Association of Women Managers, the Union of Saharan Women, Orbelinda Pérez Médina, Ana Oneida Borges Medina, Amada Trujillo Bencomo, Visiting Nurses, Rosa María Medina García, Adeje’s tomato and banana packers, the Limpiezas Domínguez S.L. cleaning company and employees and last year Maria Isabel Fernández González and her team at the Niño de Adeje crèche. The prize itself, always crafted by the Asociación San Juan, is a sculpture made with natural materials such as wood, wax and natural pigments. The name Abinque honours the Roque Abinque, a natural monument to the richness, beauty and history of the borough of Adeje. “With this recognition”, concluded the mayor “we work to recognise and value the work of so many women who, on a daily basis, are an example to the rest of the world. Thanks to them today we have the energy to continue to fight for equal rights. All of them deserve a lasting recognition which perpetuates their example and memory.

he Adeje Council has signed an agreement this week to work in conjunction with the animal protection association MADAT, the Dogs Welfare Trust and the veterinarian Nahum García del Río to promote and advance the adoption of abandoned animals that are cared for in the Adeje Animal Refuge. The associations will have preference when it comes to adopting dogs from the centre who have stayed beyond the normal legal limit, with no financial benefit to either side in this regard.

The councillor with responsibility for Municipal Services, Gonzalo Delgado Díaz, says “we have been working on this initiative for some time, and in recent months met with all the animal protection agencies on the island who had shown an interest in the Council coming to an agreement with one or more of them to speed up and assist the adoption of animals, mostly dogs, who have been abandoned by their owners. From the Council’s point of view we see these agencies are the ones who can help to promote the adoption of these animals”. Under the agreement MADAT (Manos Amigas de los Animales en Tenerife / Friends of animals in Tenerife) commit to taking, over a period of 15 days, all the dogs who can be adopted, and who have passed the 20 days they need to have stayed in the centre, under the municipal by-law, so that owners my reclaim them. The by-law states that once that period has passed the Council is allowed to seek a new owner for the animal, or pass it on to an animal protection agency. The Dogs Welfare Trust Tenerife will meet the costs of the vet who is also a part of the agreement, and who will include a health report, check for worms, and carry out any other treatment required by the animals such as vaccinations and

microchipping. The current agreement will last for a year and will be overseeen by a committee made up of representatives from each of the involved associations and the Council. An abandoned animal, under the Adeje Council Municicpal Ordenance Regulating The Ownership of Animals, is one wearing no identification, whose owner is unknown to the authorities and is not registered on the census. The Council identifies the animal if it has a micro-chip and lets the owner know he or she has ten days to collect the animal. Once this period of time has passed the Council and the protection agencies who are named in this agreement may offer the dog for adoption. The Adeje Animal Refuge was created in 2012 at a cost of 120.000 euro financed under the Plan E of the central government. The Centre has individual spaces for up to almost 100 animals depending on their size and whether they are considered dangerour or not. There is also an office and a veterinary zone. The animals are fed different foods according to their age and size and are visited by a qualified vet who attendts to any medical needs they may have. Councillor Delgado Díaz added that “since October we have been running a wide-spread consiousness raising campaign making people in Adeje more aware of the responsibility that goes with pet ownership. We have placed particular attention on sending out the message to anyone who is thinking about getting a dog to come along to the Refuge first and consider adoption. At the same time, as part of the camaign, we outline both the rights and duties that having a pet involves, such as vaccinations, care and hygiene and particularly the need to be aware of your pet’s behaviour in public spaces, with one of the biggest complaints from the local population being the amount of dog droppings left on the street. To drive the message home the Council, along with the borough’s sanitation company Ascan Torrabonaf, have undertaken a number of wide-ranging initiatives including public meetings, dog exhibitions, workshops in schools, competitions, etc. “

i playeD With the beatleS!

oLLoWinG ouR ReCent coverage of the Beatles 50th anniversary of their 1st american performance, one of our readers who had read the article, popped down to the tenerife Weekly office with a very interesting insight into the 50 year anniversary of a Beatles story of his own…

George McCormick, who is staying in Costa del Silencio, used to be the lead singer of a band of Harrogate Musicians called Ricky Fenton and the Apaches, who were a hard working rock and roll band who, in 1963 were asked along with fellow Harrogate band Bar-

ry Corbett and his Mustangs, to play a gig at the Royal Hall to support a little known group who had just recently returned from Hamburg and were supposed to be “quite good”. They were such unknowns that the evening programme contained a brief story of them, explaining who they were! The band was, of course, The Beatles and although on the night the two bands played with them “Please Please Me” had just become their first number one, none of them could possibly have known just how important to popular music the “Fab Four” would become. George told me that in Harrogate and surrounding areas, the night they famously sup-

ported John, Paul, Ringo and George is still fondly remembered, and to commemorate this historic night in music, the two acts reunited for the first time in nearly 50 years to play a reunion gig at the same venue they shared the stage with the legends. The gig was held on March 27th 2013 which was the closest to the actual anniversary the veteran rock and rollers could guarantee to be in the same spot together. George’s group, The Apaches, consisted of Bob Mason, lead guitar, Dennis Wardman, bass guitar, Dave Reed, keyboards and John Cowley, drums George told me it was an amazing night, they

performed a few rock and roll classics such as “Blue Suede Shoes “ and “All Shook Up” and once again shared the stage with the Beatles…this time of course it was not the actual surviving members but the Upbeat Beatles, one of the thousands of tribute bands that gig worldwide! When the lights went up after one of the numbers the packed room was asked if anyone was there the first time, and there were several sets of hands, well done George, who joked with me about how, in the good old days the running joke with his band was “Apaches is an anagram of cheap as!” Thanks for sharing your amazing story, it really please pleased me!

by Red Queen’s Musings s an animaL LoVeR i think that as many people as can possibly be reached should be aware of this information, hence i am copying the following article from janet anscombe

Many residents keep dogs, but there are clear rules that they are often unaware of. Moreover, the authorities actively encourage the public to report irresponsible owners, and fines are often considerable. Throughout the canaries, the registration of pets is legally required. although this is done at local ayuntamientos, some are more conscientious than others, and owners may be told that there is no actual need, or requirement, to register their pet. Where all councils agree, however, and where the rules are rigid, is in respect of the further requirements for dogs considered “potentially dangerous” (perros potencialmente peligrosos). Such dogs are defined as follows by Royal Decree 287/2002 which itself is a continuation of 50/1999, and local ayuntamientos will often have their own, usually stricter, criteria beyond this generic description. 1. Those belonging to any of the following breeds and their crosses: Pit bull Terrier Staffordshire bull Terrier american Staffordshire Terrier

Rottweiler Dogo argentino Fila brasileiro Tosa inu akita inu

2. Those animals that have all or many of the following characteristics: Strong musculature, powerful or athletic constitution, robustness, agility, vigor and endurance. Strong character and marked courage. Short hair. Thoracic perimeter between 6080cm, shoulder height of between 50-70cm and weight over 20kg. Voluminous, square, robust head, with a wide and large skull and muscular and pronounced cheeks. Strong and large jaws, robust, wide and deep snout. broad, short and muscled neck. broad, thick, deep chest, with arched ribs and short and muscled back. Straight, parallel and robust forelegs and muscular hindquarters, with relatively long hindlegs at a moderate angle. 3. Those dogs with a record of aggressive tendencies or prior attacks on humans or other animals. all dogs covered by the act must be taken out on a lead – a fixed lead of a maximum 2 metre length, not an extendable one – and wearing a muzzle They must be tied up even on private property that is

not fully enclosed; and their owners must have a licence and public liability insurance of 150,000 euro, proof of which must be carried with them when they walk their dog. The authorities consider that we are all responsible when it comes to ensuring that tragedies such as the killing in 2010 of a Santa cruz toddler by the family pitbull become a thing of the past. Fines range from a minimum of 2,500 euro to a maximum of of 15,000 euro for anyone who fails to comply with the law. Fines at the lower end are for owners who do not muzzle such dogs; top end fines will be for failing to register and not having insurance, and so on. To clarify the rules: owners cannot be children owners must not have a criminal record owners must register their dog with their local townhall and pay a local tax when they do so owners must be physically and psychologically accredited by their local town hall owners must have public liability insurance to a minimum of 150,000 euros. ayuntamientos will create a file for the animal. it will include photographs (owners supply two when they register the dog) and record the number of its chip.

CCoRdinG to La opinion the volcano receives more tourists than protected areas as important as Kruger (south africa), masai mara (Kenya), serengeti (tanzania) and iguazú (argentina and Brazil) Tenerife has a great advantage which partly explains

its tourism leadership over Gran Canaria, by over a million visitors a year – it has El Teide, the jewel in the crown, the most precious place in the Canarias. But now is not only the leader in the Archipelago. Teide is placed among the ten most visited national parks in the world, the only one in Europe with this privilege. With more than 2.5 million

visitors each year, it is only surpassed by five national parks: Great Smoky Mountains (United States), Grand Canyon (USA), Yosemite (USA), Blue Mountains (Australia) and Zhangjiajie (China). The news comes shortly after the 60th anniversary in January when the volcano and its surrounding area was declared a national park

The Sedan and landau are two pieces of great historical and artistic value

he CaBiLdo of tenerife exhibits at the museum of history and anthropology of tenerife (Lercaro house) located at san agustin, number 22, (Lagoon) two exceptional pieces of the historical heritage of the Canary islands: the nava carriages. the works can be seen in a conservatory attached to the backyard of the museum from tuesday to saturday from 9.00 to 20.00 and on sundays, mondays and holidays from 10.00 to 17.00. These two pieces of great artistic and historical value were donated by families and Ascanio Nava Tavares de Montemayor and the Canary

Islands in 1999. From the Palacio de Nava, and after undergoing a major restoration process by the Department of Culture of the Government of the Canary Islands, were deposited at the headquarters of Casa Lercaro in 2009. Both carriages were made in the eighteenth century. The limousine, French rococo style is characterized by the damping system of leather straps on the box on which it is suspended. It has been classified by the Department of National Heritage Restoration as “a piece of both artistic and historic journey.” The Landau, of English origin, was considered a very comfortable luxury vehicle,and was widely used until the early twentieth century.

Science Ship Open its Doors

by janetanscombe.com

’Ve Posted before about “science ships”, which have often been sailing over the eruption area in el hierro, taking samples, measuring gases, collecting lava fragments, etc. Now, the Tenerife Cabildo has announced the arrival in Tenerife of the Instituto Español de Oceanografía’s science vessel Ángeles Alvariño, which is heading back to El Hierro for a new study, but is stopping off here first to give the public a chance to

have a look around. The Ángeles Alvariño is said to be the most sophisticated and modern science ship that the Institute has, and it is to celebrate the Institute’s centenary (1914-2014) that the open day is being held – in Los Cristianos on 24 March. There will be another open day on 8 March in Puerto de La Estaca, El Hierro. Investigators of the Vulcano project will be on hand to discuss the ship and its work, and to answer questions from the public. Vulcano is an investigative project forming part of the Plan Nacional, financed by

the three moonwalkers Harrison “Jack” Schmitt was the lunar module pilot of apollo 17 and became the last person to walk on the moon. Schmitt suggested that the landing site of apollo 17 should be the large crater Tsiolkovsky, located on the far side of the moon, but naSa considered it too dangerous so it was rejected. Schmitt was also selected for the backup crew of apollo 15, and he was a clear candidate to participate in the apollo 18 mission. in 1965 Schmitt resigned his position at the U.S. space agency with the aim to stand as a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate. He is currently Director of Orbital Sciences corporation. edgar Dean “ed” Mitchell was the lunar module pilot on the apollo 14 mission and the sixth

ed mitchell

man to walk on the moon. Mitchell served as an astronaut in mission support and as a substitute apollo 9 lunar module pilot for the apollo 10 mission. He was also selected as a substitute for lunar module pilot of the apollo 16 mission. edgar Dean was nominated for the nobel Peace Prize in 2005. He is the founder of the institute of noetic Sciences and co-founder of the association of Space explorers. charles Moss “charlie” Duke, participated as Orion lunar module pilot on the apollo 16 mission in 1972 and explored Descartes. The apollo 16 mission is considered one of the most successful, due to the number of experiments performed on lunar terrain, and the amount of rocky material brought back to earth. charles M.

Duke decided to leave the apollo programme after the apollo 16 mission concluded and founded charlie Duke enterprises, inc. starmus For this occasion, and after the success of the first Starmus held in 2011, the organizers have worked hard to create a unique event. if you would like to attend Starmus 2014, you can do so by accessing the web http://www. starmus.com Starmus 2014 includes a three-day conference, a roundtable discussion transmitted live from the GTc Telescope in la Palma, a Star Party in the Teide national Park, an astro photography exhibition, a “Space legends” event and the “Sonic Universe” concert.

It is headed by the Centro Oceanográfico de Canarias del Instituto Español de Oceanografía (IEO) with collaboration by the Universities of La Laguna and Las Palmas, the Banco Español de Algas and the Museo de la Naturaleza y el Hombre de Tenerife. Its main objective is to characterize the spatialtemporal variability of the physical-chemical-geological and biological properties of the entire periphery of El Hierro from the sea’s surface to a depth of 2,000 metres.

FFiCeRs from the nature Protection arm of the Guardia Civil (seprona) in Playa de Las americas have captured a python (morelia variegata) snake which had made it its home in the el Fraile area. one officer confirmed the python is about two years old and in good health. This type of snake is considered to be an invasive species and very harmful to the environment of the archipelago, so after it’s capture it was transferred to the Neotropic Foundation, prior to further investigation by customs authorities. Exotic pets of this kind are usually let loose illegally when they become too much for their owners.

Banana Boat Gang Slip Up

shiP Bound for Galicia with 20 tons of bananas dispatched by the Colombian company Ci Kogi Ltda, in what seemed to be a routine international export operation, was found to be concealing a cargo of cocaine valued at five million euros within one of the ship’s pallets. a paperwork issue helped the police uncover the drugs on board the ship miv maers Ravennan. the recipient of the shipment of bananas was

the company Vite established in Vigo.

desarrollo,

Businessman José Ramón del Río Dacosta, had created the corporation to give legal cover to the business proposed Alfredo González Martí, according to the indictment. With a few shipments of cocaine a year; using the same infrastructure but alternating points of destination with Marin, they would have become millionaires, but, the police, responding to a tip off, were waiting for the arrival of the container with the cocaine. However, although they searched for several hours, the authorities found nothing. No doubt amazed by their lucky escape, the alleged traffickers were getting ready

to remove the container from the port but, once they checked the paperwork due to a glitch in the import documents, the customs inspectors retained the cargo. The paperwork stated that the ship’s cargo was of macho bananas, a variety that needs no license or quota to be sold in Spain, when in reality it was of Cavendish banana. A variety that is also produced in Spain and that is subject to trade restrictions by the EU. By the time the administrative errors were corrected, Port Health authorities found the cargo to be very damaged and not be fit for human consumption and ordered its destruction. At this point, police, who had bugged the

Given this new indication, the investigators had little doubt that the containers were carrying more than bananas. This time they discovered the cocaine within six wooden boards supporting the cargo. The prosecutor has asked that Alfredo Marti, the alleged leader of the group who was found in possession of a 22 caliber revolver, be imprisoned for 22 years, and that the other defendants be sentenced to 16 years. He also asked that they be fined 20 million euros each.

MAINLAND NEWS IN BRIEF thousands took to the streets in Madrid last Saturday in protest at the closure of four bottling plants of US soft-drink giant Coca-Cola that would affect 1,250 workers. Demonstrators, carried banners condemning the layoffs and calling for a boycott of Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola Iberian Partners, which currently has 4,000 employees on its books, was founded last year by merging the seven bottling companies in Spain owned by the US brand. Under the restructuring plan, four of the 11 plants in Spain -- Fuenlabrada near Madrid, Palma, Oviedo and Alicante -- will close. Of the affected 1,250 jobs, 750 will be axed and 500 relocated to other plants. university of Basque Country researchers have discovered 1, 000-year-old ancient vineyards in the terraced fields of Zaballa, an abandoned village in Spain. Zaballa was abandoned in the 15th century after residents were asked to pay rent for their homes and land. The village is the first deserted settlement in Spain. Zaballa is one of more than 300 abandoned settlements collectively known as Araba-Alava. “Archaeo-botanical studies of seed remains found in the excavations and pollen studies have provided material evidence of the existence of vine cultivation in a relatively early period like the 10th century,” Juan Antonio Quiros-Castillo, study author, said in a press release.

the tW Political showcase with Brian harrison

ast sunday, at a meeting with the Canarian Business Confederation, josé manuel soria dropped a bombshell on the future of tourism in the Canary islands. For those who are not familiar with soria, he is a long standing member of the Canarian PP, who since 2011 has been spain’s minister of industry, energy and tourism. the guy to blame for hikes in our electricity bills and record unemployment within the tourism sector. Back to the meeting. This Canarian born

politician announced that the tourism reform laws which were recently passed by the Canarian Parliament would be overturned by central government. In brief, he claimed that Madrid had already passed national tourism laws, and that Moncloa would not allow any deviation from those laws. Even for a semiautonomous economy located on a different continent. Meanwhile, Canarian president PaulinoRivero was busy on TVE1 debating Repsol’s plans to dig up the ocean floor in our backyard. Whilst I’m no great fan of Paulino, he has in this case set an exemplary standard by representing the will of the Canarian people: “We have tourism, we are capable of providing our own renewable energy, we don’t need oil drilling, we won’t risk an ecological

disaster, and Repsol will just take the money and run”. He promised a public referendum on the matter, but was quickly warned by Rajoy that central government would never allow such a referendum to take place. Can we see a pattern to all of this? Will Rajoy’s stubborn refusal to allow autonomous communities to make decisions push the Canary Island’s into a similar situation to the Catalan government? Could we see an EU in 2020 with Scotland, Catalunya and Islas Canarias as independent state members? Probably not, but I can’t help wondering how long it would take to renew an Islas Canarias driving license.

the spanish government is set to move ahead with a ban on E-cigarette ads during times when children are most likely to be watching television, officials said. The devices, which some insist are a tool to help smokers quit and others say are more likely to hook young people on nicotine, cannot be advertised on television from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. under a law that’s supported by a majority of the nation’s political parties. Additionally, any advertising for E-cigarettes must clearly state the product contains nicotine, and is highly addictive. descendants of muslims exiled from Spain in the 17th century have decried the granting of citizenship to descendants of exiled Jews as racist, a spokesman said. Spain’s Justice Ministry recently extended citizenship to those who could prove familial relationships to Sephardi Jews who were expelled from Spain in 1492, but withheld a similar grant to descendants of Moriscos, Spanish Muslims who converted to Christianity but were expelled to North Africa in 1609. spanish infrastructure group Ferrovial has made an offer to Heathrow Airport Holdings (HAH) for British airports Aberdeen, Glasgow and Southampton. The offer, for which Ferrovial has held talks over a joint bid with at least two Australian funds – Macquarie and Industry Funds Management, was worth £800 million, citing industry sources. The Spanish company has been on the hunt to strengthen its airport business as it seeks to diversify further from its crisis-hit domestic construction business. Ferrovial bought Heathrow and a number of other UK airports as part of its acquisition of BAA in 2006 for £10.3 billion in a highly leveraged deal, but has gradually sold stakes to new partners at a profit to reduce debt. Last year it failed with a bid for Brazil’s five largest airports and had been eyeing the on-and-off privatisation of Chicago’s Midway airport. spain, is considering “turning back the clocks an hour, which would move Spain out of the time zone that includes France, Germany and Italy. Instead, Spain would join its natural geographical slot with Portugal and Britain in Coordinated Universal Time, the modern successor to Greenwich Mean Time.” spain’s public debt is on its way to surpass total annual economic output, as it reached 93.7 percent of the country’s GDP in 2013. It stood at $1.317 trillion, which is three times as much as at the start of the crisis in 2008, a bigger debt to GDP ratio was fixed about a century ago, at about 123 percent. Initially the government planned to cap the debt at 90.5 percent, but the figure was raised to 94.2 percent, driven by unemployment benefits to the increasing number of jobless and a $56 billion (41 billion euro) European bailout to clean up the banking system. Unemployment remains a huge drag on the recovery, as a 26 percent jobless rate in 3Q 2013 was still the second highest in Europe after Greece. Although the Spanish government aims to stabilize the debt at 100 percent of GDP in 2016, the latest figures show that the debt could become equal to economic output in 2015.

laDieS oF the night Fight For the right

Rostitutes in spain have demonstrated to defend their livelihoods in central madrid, against a planned crackdown on streetwalking. The prostitutes’ rights group Hetaira said it would rally against plans to fine prostitutes and those who pick them up on the street, fearing it will force them to work in dangerous conditions. Nereyda Lakulok, a 54-year-old grandmother from Costa Rica who works as a prostitute in Madrid said: “It is directly affecting us already because the clients have got scared and aren’t coming. We want our work to be regularised so that we have the same labour rights and the same treatment as any other worker. It was my decision to exercise this noble profession, which

has allowed me to put food on the table every day. We are all proud to have supported our families, not with the sweat of our brow but with the sweat of our sex.” Determined to curb the curb crawling, Madrid city hall has drawn up proposals to fine those who pick up prostitutes in the street, while the national government plans to fine those offering or soliciting sex near schools or other children’s areas, offering or soliciting sex in prohibited areas punishable by a fine of between 1,000 and 30,000 euros The laws proposed in Madrid would fine a person caught soliciting sex in public up to 750 euros, or up to 3,000 euros if it is done near schools or shopping centres. another prostitute in the rights group, Carolina Hernandez, from Ecuador said:

“The law turns us into delinquents, it does not help us at all. They want to get us out of sight, clear us out of the street and into the underworld,” where women risk being exploited by gangs or sex clubs, she added. Hetaira called a demonstration last Saturday afternoon at the foot of Calle Montera, a street next to Madrid’s central Puerta del Sol square where prostitutes habitually stand waiting for clients, to demand that authorities allocate places where those who choose to work as prostitutes can do so in safety. Prostitution is neither illegal nor regulated nationwide in Spain. A parliamentary report in 2007 estimated there were 400,000 prostitutes working in the country -- the latest such figures available.

mnesty International is calling for a full, effective and independent investigation, following confirmation by Spain’s Interior Minister that police fired rubber bullets in an attempt to stop migrants from entering the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, which may have contributed to at least 11 drowning deaths. . The drowned migrants were among some 250 subSaharan Africans who had been attempting to cross into Ceuta via the sea from neighbouring Morocco. on 6th February. Jezerca Tigani, Director at Amnesty International said: “This loss of life is appalling, and the Spanish authorities must come clean on what happened – particularly as the Minister’s version of events contradicts earlier official statements.

IS SPAIN ACCOUNTABLE FOR MIGRANT DEATHS?

They must determine what went wrong and bring those responsible to account as a matter of urgency. Regardless of whether any of the migrants were hit, it will be up to an independent investigation to determine whether the Civil Guard and border authorities acted appropriately. The results of any such investigation must be made public, and anyone responsible for human rights violations brought to justice,” Last week in a statement

to Spanish Congress, Interior Minister Jorge Fernández Díaz confirmed that members of the Spanish Civil Guard used anti-riot equipment, including rubber bullets, to stop the migrants swimming towards Ceuta. At least 11 migrants drowned and a group of 23 people who reached the shore were forced back across the border to Morocco without formal procedures. The Spanish Minister of Interior has admitted that 23 individuals were handed over to Moroccan authorities by the Spanish Civil Guard, after being apprehended on Ceuta’s shores. He claimed that this was lawful, arguing that the migrants had not arrived in Spanish territory. “Regardless of their lo-

cation, the 23 individuals were clearly under Spanish jurisdiction once apprehended by the Spanish Civil Guard officers. The actions of the Spanish officials can be described as a push-back operation, the practice of summarily turning back a group of migrants across the border. Summary deportations of migrants or push-backs without giving them a chance to challenge

their deportation is a direct breach of Spanish, EU and international obligations; so is the rejection of asylumseekers at the border,” said Jezerca Tigani. Another Body Recovered Spain’s Civil Guard said on Saturday it had found a body in its waters off the

North African coast which could be that of a migrant, likely raising to 13 the number of people who drowned. The bodies of eight men and one woman have already been recovered from Moroccan waters, and three by Spanish authorities.

Expats To Lose Winter Fuel Payments

ue to newly announced cuts in welfare benefits expats are set to lose their winter fuel payments

Mr Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions Secretary, announced that countries with higher temperatures than the UK could be affected, saving the UK £17 million a year. Winter payments had been put in place to help pensioners with their heating costs and by changing the rules from winter 2015/16 people with higher temperatures than those in the UK would no longer receive the payment, which could affect around 100,000 British pensioners living abroad in Spain, France and Greece. By far the biggest expat population is in Spain, where over 49,000 pensioners are

receiving the benefit of £200 for the over60s and £300 for the over 80’s. This move follows discussions about cutting spending to expats recently, however David Cameron promised in his last election campaign that payments would be protected until 2015. Claimants who still qualify for benefits even though they live in warmer climates abroad are costing the taxpayer millions. Previously, people were only eligible for the winter fuel payment if they moved abroad after the age of 60. But a ruling by the European Court of Justice, insisted that any eligible expat should receive the payment, whenever they left Britain. The judgement meant that costs to the British taxpayer nearly doubled.

regular heartbeat. University Dean, Jose Dominguez de Posada, said the affected male students, aged between 18 and 22, were studying veterinary sciences. Laws on marijuana in Spain are a little vague. Buying, selling and smoking cannabis (also known as marijuana) at public spaces in Spain constitutes a criminal offense. But growing and consuming the plant on private properties is legal. Due to the strict laws, numerous private, member-only clubs have surfaced in Spain in recent years to make smoking cannabis seem legal. Private Cannabis Club in the Madrid dormitory town of Paracuellos de Jarama is one of the 40 clubs that have appeared in garages and back rooms around the country, the association’s president, Pedro Álvaro Zamora says: “We’ve been open for two months and we already have 125 members. This is the one place we can smoke in peace. The club recognises that cannabis is not good for everyone. We propose a responsible form of

consumption. Not everyone should smoke. We know there are risks,” Club official Alicia Méndez, said: “The club is not open to public. Potential members need to have a right profile and are interviewed before being admitted.” Zamora said that the members can carry their own cannabis or take it from the club’s stockpile. They can even take some back home. “It is illegal to buy, sell or transport, so you can be fined if caught with it on you.” The club offers legal assistance to fined members.

Woman was badly burnt and suffered second and third degree burns to her legs in a freak accident after a toilet in a bar in Barcelona exploded while she was using it in a bar in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. The woman was sitting on the toilet when it exploded from underneath her, she is now undergoing skin grafting on her legs. According to the of-

The woman is reportedly suing the owners of the bar for the serious injuries she sustained.

Giant hedgehog has suddenly appeared on Clapham Common in south London.

The life-like 7ft structure created to promote David Attenborough’s new TV series, took over two months to build and with 2,000 soft wood spikes and fake fur produced using willow and coconut fibre is 12ft long and 8ft wide, making it larger than a rhinoceros. The well-known garden dwelling animal will feature in the broadcaster’s new show Natural Curiosities, which starts on

February 18th on Watch. Each episode will feature two creatures that, while hugely different from one another, share a ‘distinctive evolutionary quirk’. According to research by UKTV, A quarter of British adults have never seen a hedgehog, while a further 74 per cent are worried about the species’ decreasing numbers. Mr Attenborough asks: ‘[The] hedgehog is one of the most familiar animals in our countryside, but actually what do people know about hedgehogs?’ Catherine Catton, senior

Troitino, 56, was on conditional

release from jail in England but Spain had maintained an extradition warrant for him. A Spanish interior ministry official who asked not to be named said he was arrested in London under “a Spanish police warrant”, In the 1980s, Troitino was a member of ETA’s Madrid unit, which carried out some of the separatist group’s bloodiest attacks, he was arrested in 1987 and sentenced to more than 2,000 years for 22 killings. A legal error set Troitino free in April 2011 and before it was re-

solved he went on the run to London, where he was arrested the following year. He was among scores of ETA members released under the ruling by the European Court of Human Rights in October 2013, which outraged the families of people killed by the group. ETA is responsiblefor more than 800 deaths in a four-decade campaign of bombings and shootings for an independent homeland in northern Spain and south-western France.

he uKRaine ambassador has been summoned to the Foreign office in London after dozens of people were killed and hundreds injured in ukraine following a day of street battles and overnight clashes. The violence on Tuesday was the deadly result of nearly three months of anti-government protests that have paralysed the capital of Kiev, turning it into a virtual war zone. It comes after the Ukrainian health ministry said at least 25 people were killed after the worst day of fighting since the nationwide demonstrations began in November. Another 241 have been injured in the clashes. The EU and US are considering sanctions on both sides and the EU has called an extraordinary meeting of the bloc’s 28

foreign ministers to discuss the violence. European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said he expected the EU to adopt “targeted measures against those responsible for violence and use of excessive force”. Foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton added: “All possible options will be explored, including restrictive measures against those responsible for repression and human rights violations.” There were cries of ‘Glory to Ukraine!’ as thousands of riot police armed with stun grenades and water cannons attacked the sprawling protest camp in Independence Square. Protesters set fire to blankets, tyres, barricades and wood surrounding their camp in Independence Square in an attempt to prevent police moving in. The unrest has spread to at least three cities in the west of the country.

The map uses Google’s powerful maps interface, meaning that users are able not just to look at the interactive map and discover British shops, but get directions there. Potential customers can check addresses, websites and phone numbers of the businesses simply by clicking on the icon. The map’s creators, expat financial advisor

Which Offshore, say they are responding to demand. Which Offshore online editor Michael Brinksman said: “We noticed there are loads of expats asking on forums where they can get British food products, HP sauce, Branston Pickle, Monster Munch crisps, Curly Wurly chocolate bars; you name it. So a few of us got together and

started compiling a list of British food stores around the world to make the expat search easier.” While France and Spain are well covered for British expats, there are large areas of the map where British food seems to disappear. Mr Brinksman said: “Spain and France seem to have the greatest number of British food shops but we want users

in other parts of the world like Scandinavia and Eastern Europe to let us know of any other stores as the aim is to continue updating it.” The team is asking for people to contribute new places and suggest additional locations to the map through its website.

liberace’s lover Jailed

iBeRaCe’s FoRmeR LoVeR who was the subject of an hBo film on the pianist’s life and played by matt damon, has been sentenced to eight to 20 years in a nevada prison for failing another court-or-

dered drug test while on probation for burglary and identity theft convictions.

Thorson was sentenced last week byWashoe District Judge Patrick Flanagan after repeated bad drug tests and his failure to show up at a courtordered treatment facility.

The judge originally suspended the prison sentence in July and gave Thorson a second chance in September after testing positive for methamphetamine, but he failed tests twice in October and again on November 1st. He was arrested November 19th after violating an order to enter an inpatient treatment facility in Reno two weeks earlier. Thorson, 54, real name Jess Marlow, admitted he was an addict but insisted he was determined to get sober when he tearfully appealed to the judge in September to spare him from prison. Thorson said: “I’m just asking for another chance”, citing his newfound celebrity stature as the cause of his slip into drug abuse. “I can’t help who I am,” he told the judge at the time. “I’m in show business. I attract these cameras.” Flanagan said it would be his “last chance.” The judge said: “I’m not impressed — I don’t think anybody is — with this

so-called celebrity status, you’re just like any other addict who has committed a crime against a victim.” Thorson had intended to write another book on the heels of his Behind the Candelabra, which was used as the basis for the HBO film of the same name directed by Steven Soderburgh. The movie won the Golden Globe for best TV movie earlier this month. Matt Damon played Thorson in the film, and Michael Douglas, who donned the flamboyant costumes to play Liberace, claimed his fourth Golden Globe for his work. Deputy District Attorney John Helzer who demanded prison time in September claimed that Thorson had been trying to capitalize on his fame since he told arresting officers last year he couldn’t afford the bad publicity of going to jail. Helzer said: “He’s not a celebrity. He’s a story. It’s one of accusation and manipulation and failure.”

Cowell, 54, who gained fame as an acidtongued judge on television singing contests in the United States and Britain, has had a string

of high profile relationships including Danni Minogue and Sinitta, but has never married. Cowell said: “I’m not brilliant with babies, I never know what to do. But (once he’s older) I think I’ll be a good dad in terms of advice.” Silverman’s pregnancy made headlines last

Chinese Hotel Is The Pits!

he InterContinental Shimao China’s Underground Hotel, located 30 miles outside of Shanghai, Wonderland plans to open in late 2014 or early 2015.

China is famous for its towering skyscrapers that almost touch the clouds, but a new hotel plans to take luxury accommodation to new depths. Construction is underway to build a luxury resort delving 100 meters underground on the side of an abandoned quarry at the foot of Tianmashan Mountain, which will be surrounded by a theme park. The 380-room resort hotel will have three levels above ground and 16 underground, it will also offer guests spa services, a sports facility and an underwater restaurant. If you think that’s unusual, check out some of the most weird and wonderful hotels across the globe! Hang Nga Guesthouse, Vietnam Affectionately nicknamed “the Crazy House,” this is in the popular tourist destination of Da Lat, Central Vietnam. It has been described as a Disney cartoon palace that has been rearranged randomly and then partially melted. Some tourists come just to walk through the twisty tunnels, unusually decorated rooms, and hidden hollowed-out nooks. But it is also possible to spend the night in one of the guest rooms. Propeller Island City Lodge, Berlin This Berlin hotel takes quirkiness to a new level. Each of its 30-plus rooms has a different theme, emphasis on “different.” One room has a king bed that has been divided into two singles by a giant guillotine. Another has a bathtub made to resemble an oversized plastic bag. Others are furnished and laid out like prison cells or mortuaries

Cappadocia Cave Suites, Turkey

(complete with coffin beds). Kumbuk River Resort, Sri Lanka This Sri Lankan eco-resort sits near its namesake river bordering Yala National Park, one of Sri Lanka’s best nature adventure destinations. This is elephant country, and pachyderms roam freely through the park, as do a variety of other interesting animal species. Kumbuk celebrates Yala’s headlining mammal with a unique design. Dubbed the Elephant Villa, the resort’s most stunning structure is made of wood and topped with a straw roof that sways in the breeze. Ariau Amazon Towers, Brazil This Brazilian resort sits at treetop level in the heart of the Amazon. Ariau’s huge circular structures, built on stilts above the water and connected by a series of walkways, are not unlike something out of a “Star Wars” film. However, there is nothing sci-fi about this resort, surrounded by rain forest and the teeming waters of the Amazon . Canopy tours and chances to get up close with the Amazon’s rare pink dolphins are on the agenda for the Towers’ guests. Cappadocia Cave Suites, Turkey Cappadocia is a series of unique cave dwellings in the region which were occupied by members of the Hittite civilization long before the age of the Roman Empire. Despite the “cave” theme, these are fully functioning hotel rooms with Internet access, minibars and coffeemakers. Free Spirit Spheres, Vancouver Island Vancouver Island’s Free Spirit Spheres offer an interesting spin on the idea of treehouse hotels. Hanging from the treetops, these spherical rooms resemble ornaments on a Christmas tree and gently sway when the wind blows through the forest. Das Park Hotel, Germany and Austria

Palacio de Sal, Uyuni, Bolivia

This industrial-themed hotel, with locations in Germany and Austria, might be mistaken for a construction site at first glance. This is because the “rooms” are made out of giant concrete sections of pipe with coverings on both sides. The pipes are furnished with beds and lights and have interior murals. Though not luxurious by any definition, these rooms are definitely designed to provide a feeling of cozy comfort. And you certainly won’t be able to beat the amount of privacy. Palacio de Sal, Uyuni, Bolivia Hotels made with ice blocks are a dime a dozen, but salt blocks? Palacio de Sal is one million salt blocks measuring 14 inches were mortared together with salty water to construct everything—even the beds, chairs, and dry sauna. Just pray it doesn’t rain. Sala Silvermine Underground Suite, Västmanland, Sweden At 500 feet underground, this hotel, hewn from the rock by 18th-century silver miners, is the deepest in the world. Comprising only one room, with silver furniture (naturally), the suite in the abandoned Sala Silver Mine is not for the claustrophobic. On check-in, a guide provides a brief tour of the mine then leaves guests to endure the constant 36 degrees, with possible side effects of loneliness and paranoia, until morning. La Villa Hamster, Nantes, France The name is no joke: guests of this one-room hotel receive hamster masks on check-in and, once inside, find water is dispensed only by stomping on a metal lever. A giant haystack functions as a bed, and the bathroom is covered in wood chips (a regular human toilet is also provided). The centerpiece, naturally, is the life-size hamster wheel.

US Scientists at a fusion power facility have succeeded in tipping the balance between energy input and output to achieve a net gain, falling just short of “ignition”, the “Holy Grail” of fusion science, which would generate more energy than the total

amount needed to operate the reactor. Although ignition was not achieved this is still seen as a turning point. By carefully tuning the laser pulses to maintain stability, a team at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in California used 192 lasers to heat and compress a small pellet of fuel, a mixture of deuterium and tritium (DT), until its atoms began to collide and fuse. The scientists produced an energy yield 10 times greater than any achieved before, but most importantly, the fusion

energy obtained exceeded the amount of energy absorbed by the fuel to trigger the reaction. This is not the same as generating more than the total energy needed to compress the fuel pellet, which is necessary for ignition. Lead scientist Dr Omar Hurricane says: “There is more work to do and physics problems that need to be addressed before we get to the end. But our team is working to address all the challenges, and that’s what a scientific team

thrives on. What’s really exciting is that we are seeing a steadily increasing contribution to the yield coming from the boot strapping process we call alpha particle self-heating as we push the implosion a little harder each time.” Natural nuclear fusion powers the sun and other stars, and is also responsible for the devastating destructive force of the man created hydrogen bomb. The technology could provide almost limitless supplies of clean energy from special forms of hy-

drogen, the most abundant element in the universe. Professor Steve Cowley, director of the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE), the UK centre of fusion research, said: “We have waited 60 years to get close to controlled fusion, and we are now close in both magnetic and inertial confinement research. We must keep at it. The engineering milestone is when the whole plant produces more energy than it consumes.”

Spotlight On…El Parque De Las Aguilas

ecently we decided to pay a long overdue return visit to El Parque De Las Aguilas, The Eagle Park or Jungle Park as it’s also known.

The park is situated above Chayofa, just minutes on the free bus service from Los Cristianos and Las Americas; “Las Águilas-Jungle Park is a zoological and botanical park located near the Los Cristianos beach on the Canary Island of Tenerife. Consisting of 7.5 hectares (19 acres) of jungle with over 500 animals, the park contains a number walking paths with tunnels, suspension bridges, waterfalls, lagoons, and caves. The park also boasts daily flight shows featuring exotic birds and birds of prey.” Owned and operated by the largest tourism group in Europe, Aspro Ocio S.A. The Spanish company owns the large chain of water parks known as Aqualand, which of course is represented in Tenerife also. Opening times all year round are 10am-17.30pm, admission is 24 euro for adults or 18.50 for residents, children 17 or 14 and toddlers, 8 or 6.50. Bizarrely the prices seem to go by height not age so if you’re vertically

challenged you may get a bargain!! Making our way down into the park, past the enclosure for the beautiful white Tigers, a photographer awaits you with a huge Eagle Owl and 2 cheeky Cockatoos whose comedy routine includes baby impersonations and removing headgear!! The park itself is a labyrinth of paths, tunnels, suspended walkways, rope bridges and much more, with countless, roomy enclosures for a multitude of birds, mammals and reptiles-the lions, tigers, leopards and the black Jaguar were my favourites, but meerkats,porcupine,orang-utans,chim ps,gibbons,crocodiles,alligators,the list goes on and on! It’s worth keeping track of everything with the small map provided as it’s easy to get turned around and pay attention to the many signs to help you find what you missed-it’s also worth mentioning that although it’s possible to take a wheelchair, I’ve done it, be prepared, it’s bloody hard work!! There are 3 shows available throughout the day, parrots and exotic birds (11 and 14.30), Birds of Prey (12 and 16.00) and the sea-lions (13.45 and 15.15). The Birds of Prey show is unlike anything I’ve seen anywhere else,

we sat in an open amphitheater whilst dozens of eagles, kites, vultures, storks and many more swooped down barely missing our heads to the trainers food laden arms. It’s truly impressive but our favourite part of the day had to be the sea-lions, so much like aquatic versions of man’s best friend, the 2 girls Cookie and Senna had us totally enchanted...I’m just glad we haven’t got a pool or we’d be taking one home!! We ended the day with a quick go on the jungle raid obstacle course and a quick circuit on the “Bob”, a toboggan ride that costs an additional 4 euros but it’s great fun!!

aQUaMan – Soggy SUperhero or UntappeD treaSUre?

ith aLL the buzz and rumours flying around about the long proposed justice League movie, one veteran jLa hero seems to be at best treading water or worse, sunk without a trace. In the comics, Aquaman is royalty, King of the Seven Seas. But outside of DC’s pages, he’s treated like a damp squib (or squid), the joke of the League, everyone from Robot Chicken to Family Guy to The Big Bang Theory has had a crack at the nautical non-event. While Aquaman is recognized as king of the undersea country of Atlantis, writers have had problems dealing with him when he’s asked to take part in land-based adventures with the publisher’s vaunted Justice League of America, of which he’s a charter member. And only in an alternate universe where “Entourage’s” Vincent

Chase is a real megastar, not a TV character does Aquaman get big budget blockbuster he deserves, with Vinnie cast and James Cameron behind the camera! While other DC heroes like Superman, Batman, and Green Arrow have enjoyed success at the movies and on TV, Aquaman still lurks in the depths. Apparently there was a failed pilot filmed which was so awful it was probably actually sent to the bottom of the sea and a recurring role on Smallville hardly set the world alight. But things could be changing. At DC, for months a plan has been hatching to help Aquaman, well, catch a wave. “He’s a priority character for the company,” said Geoff Johns, DC Entertainment’s chief creative officer. The company has announced plans for an animated Aquaman series and according to Comichron, a web site that tracks comic-book sales, the Aquaman comic is outselling Marvel’s cult-

favourite archer “Hawkeye” and former Batman sidekick “Nightwing,” but is selling far fewer than Batman, The Avengers or The X-Men. Peter Coogan, author of the 2006 book “Superhero: The Secret Origin of a Genre”, says: Aquaman’s root problem is that he’s boring, in many ways, he suffers from the problems that plague King Arthur as a main character, which is why most Arthurian stories are not about Arthur but about his knights.” Plotlines that might drum up new interest, he said, come with limitations. Playing up the character’s royal heritage might set him at odds with surface governments, potentially turning him into a villain. In recent months, characters like The Flash and Commissioner Gordon, have been assigned TV projects, while speculation has intensified over the future of DC’s film projects since actor Ben Affleck was named to take over the role of

no Unitard For Scarlet Witch

LiZaBeth olsen on what scarlet Witch will look like in ‘avengers: age of ultron,’ confirms she won’t be wearing the classic red unitard. With casting rumours and confirmations flying out a rapid pace, the next big question once you’ve matched an actor with a character is, what will they wear? Costumes that work well on the printed page can look unintentionally hilarious on the the live action counterpart – imagine all of the X-men in black and yellow spandex! With comic-book adaptations becoming increasingly popular designers are getting better and better at bringing these looks to life The look of the Scarlet Witch in “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” has been a hot topic since writer/director Joss Whedon confirmed in May that the character and her twin brother Quicksilver are part of his plans for the Marvel sequel, Joss had already hinted that changes would need to be made: “It can’t be too oldschool. She can’t wear a leotard.” Six months later, actress Elizabeth Olsen under-

scored that she won’t be wearing the classic red unitard: “I don’t think Joss ever would have hired me, honestly, if he wanted me to wear those outfits, I am not a professional athlete and nor am I a model. Wearing those costumes wouldn’t be fun for anyone who wasn’t those things. He already had a different idea. It respects and involves the comic book c h a racter b u t it’s different, more rooted. It’s for someone today… Well, if someone walked around wearing what she wore in the comics, people would stop and say, ‘What the hell

… she thinks she’s a superhero!’” Olsen also revealed her movie costume comes complete with a “secrecy cloak” to prevent any photo leaks as she travels to and from the set. “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” opens May 1st 2015.

Author P.L. Travers reflects on her childhood after reluctantly meeting with Walt Disney, who seeks to adapt her Mary Poppins books for the big screen.

Batman. Aside from Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow, only Aquaman, who debuted in 1941, has appeared continuously throughout DC’s history, Johns is sure that any perceived weaknesses in the character’s storyline potential can be turned into strengths: “There is no doubt in my mind that this is one of the most well-known characters among super-heroes, and in popular culture,” the ocean setting, he suggested, should work to a writer’s advantage. “We are finding new areas in the ocean every day. It’s as alien as going to outer space,” he said. So, maybe it’s time for Aquaman to rise proudly from his watery exile and take his place alongside Batman and co, who knows, in a perfect circle of life imitating art, we could try and James Cameron to direct?

man is B e i n G treated in hospital after being hit by ‘Feeling under the weather?’ nhs sign which was ripped off wall of chemist during a storm. the incident occurred last Friday during the storms which raged across the uK again wreaking havoc. Winds of up to 60mph ripped the sign off the wall of premises in Leicester, the victim suffered a

gash in his head and had to be taken to a local hospital.

The victim had noticed that it was flapping about in winds which reached nearly 60mph, and went into the shop to inform the owner. He had only moments before pointed out to a chemist that the hoarding was insecure when a gust of wind blew it away from the building and onto his head. The solid wood sign advises people to see their GP if they are ‘feeling under the weather’, the Leicester Mercury reported. A bystander told the Mercury: ‘As the two of them were standing there it came down and hit him - it missed her by inches,’ ‘She was very shaken afterwards and very lucky, too.’ Other passers-by said incident made such a crashing noise that they thought it might have been a car crash.

niKe designer says the nike mag trainer, shoes like those worn by marty mcFly in the hit movie Back to the Future - which lace themselves up automatically - will be available next year. The ‘Back To The Future’style self-lacing trainers are set to become a reality in 2015, according to a Nike designer, Tinker Hatfield The company is apparently working on power laces like those

worn by time-travelling teenager Marty McFly in the classic film series. The designer told trainer news website Sole Collector: “Are we gonna see power laces in 2015? To that, I say yes!” Back To The Future II, set in 2015, includes a scene where McFly, played by Michael J Fox, slips on a pair of Nike High Tops that adjust automatically to his feet. The company applied for a patent for “automatically lacing trainers” in 2010. A year, later Nike produced illuminating

trainers based on those worn by McFly – the Nike Mag. A total of 1,500 pairs were auctioned off to raise money for the Michael J Fox Foundation. Fox has Parkinson’s and his organisation funds research into the disease, the auction raised £3.4m. Among those who bought the shoes were UK rapper Tinie Tempah - who spent £24,000 ($40,000) to own the first available pair - and fellow musicians Kanye West and Kid Cudi.

SHARPLES IN SESSION By John Sharples

Weather

heRe is no doubt that the world’s weather has gone mad. somerset and London are getting the worst of it in the uK. towns close to madrid have been deluged with snow. in California a drought has killed of wheat and corn crops and on the other side of the states icy weather has killed almost 30 people. there is also a huge ice storm in Canada. this has all just happened in the last couple of weeks.

There is one place in the world that is due to disappear completely in the next ten years due to rising seas caused by global warming. This little village of people isn’t responsible for what is going to happen to them. The place is called Kivalina and its residents are going to be the world’s first climate change refugees. They are depentdent on fishing for their food and aren’t able to reach their fishing grounds because the ice has become too thin for them to cross. The American government is set to relocate the people but the area that they live in isn’t easily accessed and the cost is thought to be over

400, 000, 000 dollars. There are planning to rebuild the town on higher ground. Given the changes that we are seeing in the weather around the world, it might be a good idea if they get their act together and start building before it is too late. Global sea levels have been rising by about 3mm a year. That is 3cm in the last ten years. It doesn’t seem much, but if they continue to rise at that rate many parts of Britain will be underwater permanently in the future. Maybe our government should start making some serious plans for the future before it is too late.

Sir toM Finney

ome yeaRs aGo i was in my home town of Preston in Lancashire. i had been invited to be part of the opening ceremony of the new st George’s shopping centre. Roy Castle was going to cut the ribbon and six Guinness world record breakers were going to be interviewed or perform. i was going to dance. i had recently broken the world record for nonstop disco dancing by dancing for 15 days and 11 hours.

It was a fabulous day and I was in the green room with Roy Castle and the other record breakers. We were chatting to each other and I noticed that an older guy was stood in the corner. He didn’t seem to be very comfortable so I sidled over to him to introduce myself. “Hello,” I said, “I’m John Sharples, nice to meet you.”

“You too,” he said, “I’m Tom Finney” “What record do you hold Tom?” I asked. He muttered something about holding caps or collecting caps. English ones. The conversation disintegrated and I returned to the fold. I couldn’t understand what was so special about having a collection of 100 caps. My dad had about ten at home. Pretty normal for a Lancashire guy. The man went out onto the stage to the sound of screaming and shouting and very loud applause. When I went home, my dad killed himself laughing. The man that I had introduced myself to was Sir Tom Finney, one of the greatest footballers that Britain ever produced. Needless to say, I knew nothing about football. I felt such a plum! God Bless Him and rest in peace Sir Tom Finney. (I wonder who he left his cap collection to).

Mardi gras! o

n FeBRuaRy 27th 187 years ago in 1827, a group of masked and costumed students took to the streets of new orleans, Louisiana, dancing, singing and celebrating to mark the birth of the city’s famous mardi Gras celebrations. The celebration of Carnival--or the weeks between Twelfth Night on January 6th and Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Christian period of Lent--spread from Rome across Europe and later to the Americas and of course, right here in Tenerife. Nowhere in the United States is Carnival celebrated as grandly

as in New Orleans, famous for its over-the-top parades and parties for Mardi Gras, literally, Fat Tuesday, the last day of the Carnival season. Early French settlers brought the tradition of Mardi Gras to Louisiana at the end of the 17th century, however , Spanish governors of the province banned the celebrations. Once Louisiana became part of the United States in 1803, New Orleanians managed to convince the city council to lift the ban on wearing masks and partying in the streets. The city’s new Mardi Gras tradition began in 1827 when the group of students, inspired by their experiences studying in Paris, donned masks and jester costumes and staged their own Fat Tuesday festivities.

Question 1: What is the diameter of a basketball hoop? Question 2: What is the oldest type of winged insect? Question 3: Who is “mon ami” to ace detective Hercule Poirot? Question 4: What is the human tarsus? Question 5: What is signified by a Union flag flying upside-down? Question 6: What is the highest British decoration for civilians? Question 7: Name the disease abbreviated to MS. Question 8: What word is used to describe a grotesque carving of an animal, man, or devil?

Question 9: How many players does a woman’s lacrosse team have? Question 10: Who was known as “The Sun King”? Question 11: Which letter of the alphabet is represented in Morse Code

by three dots?

The event grew in popularity, and in 1833, a rich plantation owner named Bernard Xavier de Marigny de Mandeville raised money to fund an official Mardi Gras celebration. The celebrations continued for several years until in the 1850s, rowdy revelers began to get violent. Then in 1857 a secret society called the Mistick Krewe of Comus staged the first large-scale, wellorganized Mardi Gras parade. Over time, hundreds of krewes formed, building elaborate and colorful floats for parades held over the two weeks leading up to Fat Tuesday. Riders on the floats are usually local citizens who toss “throws” at passersby, including metal coins, stuffed toys or those now-infamous strands of beads. A popular

misconception is that Bourbon Street and the historic French Quarter are the heart of Mardi Gras festivities, but none of the major parades have been allowed to enter the area since 1979 because of its narrow streets. In February 2006, New Orleans held its Mardi Gras celebrations despite the fact that Hurricane Katrina had devastated much of the city with massive flooding the previous August. Attendance was at only 60-70 percent of the 300,000-400,000 visitors who usually attend Mardi Gras, but the celebration marked an important step in the recovery of the city, which counts on hospitality and tourism as its single largest industry.

HOME AND GARDENING By Linda Barratt

e aLL tend to look at items in our everyday use at home and wonder how else they could be made useful..here i’ve compiled a little list of common household products that can also be used or recycled into our gardens. 1. Place a sponge or no longer needed bean bag beads into the bottom of pots, planters or window boxes before adding the soil to help keep water in reserve. 2.VINEGAR ...is a natural herbicide killing weeds and any other plant it touches. 3.NEWSPAPER...use by laying several sheets over the soil and cover with mulch to retain moisture and suffocate weeds. Add wet shred-

bet you Didn’t know …

ded newspaper to your compost to remove the odour. 4. TEABAGS...water ferns and acid loving plants like hydrangeas with a brewed cuppa for luscious leaves. 5.BANANA...to keep aphids from off rosebushes try burying dried or cut up banana skin an inch or two deep around the base of the plant. 6.SALT...is a natural pest killer and they won’t survive for long. You can also prevent the growth of weeds in walkway cracks by making a solution of 1 cup salt to 2 cups water and pouring it directly onto the offending weeds. 7.COFFEE GROUNDS...can be added

directly to the top soil, especially on plants that like high acidity in the soil such as Azaleas or Roses because coffee grounds are high in nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, potassium and other trace minerals. By scattering a thin layer onto your soil it provides a slow release of these minerals onto plants. 8.EGGSHELLS...calcium rich eggshells make an excellent fertilizer for tomatoes. simply crush and place in the bottom of pots before planting .Eggshells can also be used as a deterrent to soft bodied blighties such as slugs and snails. They really don’t like crawling over sharp pieces,so scatter them freely around your garden to keep them away. 9.Toilet paper tubes and empty egg cartons are perfect for starting seedlings off in before being ready to plant into the ground...and they are not the only recyclable items for this use. Think on the lines of yogurt cartons, take away food containers etc or why not shape your own pots out of dampened newspapers. 10.Do you own a fish tank and its due for a water change? Nearly any plant would welcome a splash of this nitrogen rich liquid. 11.Transform the use of plastic

spoons or cut out tags from empty plastic milk jugs to make plant markers...better still cut up an old mini blind for a lifetimes supply of them. 12.That wonderful plastic milk jug again. This is so a gardeners best friend there being absolutely dozens of uses for it. Cut it in half and use the bottom as a saucer for potted plants or as a tray for seeds. You can also bury this bottom half in soil so that it is level with the ground and fill with beer to make an excellent slug trap. Turn the top half of the milk carton upside down and you have a funnel. Stick it in the ground next to a plant and you have prolonged even watering...to mention but a few. 13.Spare plastic piping laying around...dig short lengths into your garden and fill with sand...excellent for growing carrots in and helps keep them pest free as well as straight. 14.Why not re-invent old or worn out articles around your home into fun filled flower pots. Get thinking along the lines of old boots

Big Living In Small Spaces

t can be especially tough living in a small space when your decorating options are limited by rental rules, landlord laws and rental furniture, but there are quite a few options for you to make your space into the home you want that suits you, maybe it only be temporary. you can make it interesting without committing. Finding non-permanent ways to update your home or apartment is the key to making it feel like home. Obviously your usually stuck with whatever your rental home or apartment has in the way of flooring or furniture, but they can be brightened up or covered over. Shabby tiles or floors?....then throw

down bright colourful rugs. Sling throws onto your settees or chairs with accompanying cushions in differing shapes sizes and colours.Ok. It doesn’t have to be bright and colourful, thats just my view; but you could also colour coordinate your rugs and throws in varying hues of the same colour. Your home so your choice..so choose shades you can relax in. Some original elements can pose a decorating challenge to work around .If the bathroom has a colour of tiling you just cannot stand then see if there is another colour within the tile that you do ,you may even find it in a border tile, and accentuate it with towels, shower curtains and or bathroom accessories. If not then use a colour that you do like that will blend and compliment those offensive tiles. You could hang a skirt (curtain ) around the bathroom sink behind which you could store all bathroom essentials either on low shelving or in baskets

and out of view. In other rooms hang up some artwork, favourite pictures or photos. See if you can cover those bare bulbs with shades to enhance the lighting, or maybe even purchase a floor or table lamp to give a better ambiance. Adding your own floating shelves to show off your own collections of glassware, pottery, books or mementos will give you the chance to change the look around by simply changing your collections from time to time. Have you thought of using colourful garden stools as bedside or coffee tables? They are easy to move around, less bulky than the original versions, whilst providing extra seating for party nights. Cool or what! If you can afford to introduce rental to luxury in a small place then i would definitely go for gorgeous drapes and curtains. There is absolutely nothing to say you cannot store the originals to replace

back against your own once your rental expires. If you are really short on space then i would recommend buying a bookcase...and go as large as you have the space for. It would serve you so well as multipurpose storage. You could place books and dishes on the upper shelves then bins, baskets or hampers on the lower shelves for all those things that just don’t have a place of their own to live. You could also place a smaller bookcase inside your wardrobe to be used as instant shelving for clothes, shoes, cosmetics and jewelry etc. Why you could even place items of furniture in the corners of rooms at an angle, using the space behind to stash even more storage boxes and hampers. With a little thought you really can make that rental feel well and truly your own home...with moveable objects.....that can and do move when you do.

and tin buckets to toilets and children’s outgrown potties. 15.And finally here’s one for all you youngies with babies or oldies with your own diapers........they don’t call them ‘Huggies’ for nothing you know ......Simply use them to line the bottom of your hanging baskets..... yes it is a well proven fact.....They Do Retain Water.

The Full Moon could bring out the animal within, paving the way for an evening or night of passion and fun. On another note, finances might need careful handling.

s Chat shoW host ellen deGeneres managed to scare hollywood movie star Cameron diaz live on tV with a “mask” inspired prank

ebrate, DeGeneres then asked Diaz if she was ever freaked out by co-star Jim Carrey when he wore the mask on set, and as she began recounting her memories, a guy dressed in the iconic yellow suit and green mask crept up behind her. An oblivious Diaz went on saying: “The process of taking it off is terrifying, it’s just like glue, and chunks of sponge, would stay on his face, ‘cause …” The Mask leapt up behind with a BOO! Cameron’s reaction was priceless!

PUGH´S PANTRY By Barry Pugh

Bit On The Side

the italian pot paSta hellooo Sparklettes!

his dish is incredibly easy and full of flavour. the pasta cooks in a mixture of broth, herbs, and aromatics, like onion and garlic, which really ramp up the flavour. the starch that leaches off of the pasta as it cooks helps create a thick sauce right in

900ml vegetable stock 2 Tbsp. olive oil 350g fettuccine 225g. frozen chopped spinach 1 (750g) can diced tomatoes 1 medium onion

the pan. it’s magic! so fast and easy, i do want to mention, though, that if you’re the type of person that can’t handle pasta any other way than al dente, you may not like this one. the pasta can get a little soft, if you let it cook even just a little too long. other great ideas for

add-ins: mushrooms, parmesan, artichoke hearts, or olives.

I think next time I’ll save adding the frozen spinach until the end so that it will defrost and heat quickly from the pasta’s residual heat. That way the spinach will stay bright green and pretty, and it will not darken the pasta as it cooks. But hey, either way it tasted fantastic!

ingredients:

4 cloves garlic ½ Tbsp. dried basil ½ Tbsp. dried oregano ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes Freshly cracked pepper to taste 50g feta cheese

method:

add FouR CuPs of vegetable broth to a large pot. Break the fettuccine in half to make stirring easier later, and then add it to the pan. Also add the canned tomatoes (undrained), olive oil, frozen spinach, onion (thinly sliced), garlic (thinly sliced), basil, oregano, red pepper, and some freshly cracked black pepper. Make sure the ingredients are submerged under the liquid, place a lid on top of the pot, and then turn the heat on to high. Allow the pot to come up to a full, rolling boil over high heat

then remove the lid and turn the heat down to medium. Allow the pan to continue to boil over medium heat, without a lid, for 10-15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir the pan every few minutes as it cooks to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom, but avoid over stirring which can cause the pasta to become sticky and mushy. The pan must be boiling the entire time. After the pasta is cooked, crumble the feta cheese over top and serve.

ell i write to you whilst s i p p i n g champagne, lying on a Polar Bear skin rug (probably one of Prince William’s collection), in front of a log fire at the top of mount teide...yes, you’ve guessed it.. i’m on my holidays !!! Luckily for you lot, I’ve still been keeping my ear to the ground and my eyes on the box, so I can give you all the latest gossip !!! So, it was no big surprise when little sideshow Perry won the UK final of Splash 2014, saving the best till last and scoring the maximum 30 points! let’s face it, the little loo brush had the advantage from day one, he’s been

diving off the shoulders of the bigger Diversity members for years and not only that, anyone with that amount of Afro hair is hardly going to be afraid of cracking his head open... it’s like wearing a helmet of slinky springs !!! On holiday to help me to relax, I like nothing more than to pop on some headphones and put on a bunch of old 80’s and 90’s classics. Well if you too like a trip down musical memory lane, then ITV2 is the channel for you, appearing on “the Big Reuinion” are Eternal, A1, Jacko’s nephews 3T, Damage and Girl Thing, the Band Simon Cowell thought were the next Spice Girls who turned out to be the next nothing! Also put together especially for the show is

Supergroup 5th Story ( a group of mine and Jordan’s ex’s more like), has been formed by solo artists Dane Bowers, Kenzie, Kavana, Gareth Gates and Adam Rickitt. As individuals, 5th Story have a combined total of 27 top ten hits, including five number ones...it’s just a shame that none of them were any guh guh guh good! So, before I go back to enjoying my well earned holiday I’ve heard that TOWIE is back this Sunday for another series of Essex based shenanigans!! The Only Way is Essex? I prefer the Only Way Is Up by Yazz, another 90’s classic... And the only way is up... Is the way my chilled champagne bubbles are going !!! I Love Holidays !!! Until next week... Keeep Sparkling !!!

Smart helmets Make bikes Safer

otoRBiKes. For many they are a passion, albeit a dangerous one, but thanks to a newly developed smart helmet they just got a lot safer. San Francisco based helmet manufacturer Skully, claims its P-1 helmet is the first motorbike helmet with a digital heads-up display built in. It will show maps and realtime views of blind spots on a heads up display inside the helmet and can connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth The helmet will be available this summer,

Corvette Upset

F you aRe a Fan oF the CLassiC CoRVette you BetteR moVe on and tuRn the PaGe. a CCtV CameRa has CaPtuRed the moment eiGht CLassiC ‘Vettes WeRe sWaLLoWed into the GRound By a 40-Foot sinKhoLe The gaping sinkhole formed under the National Corvette Museum, a not-for-profit museum just down the road from GM’s Kentucky-based Bowling Green Assembly plant, where Corvettes have been built since 1981. The 40-foot natural phenomena occurred underneath the museum’s iconic 140-foot Skydome, swallowing eight cars in the process, and required the NCM to evacuate the remaining 80 vehicles. Only two cars remain, as authorities try and work out the safest way to remove them.

but no price has yet been released SKULLY P-1 SPECIFICATIONS Visor: ‘Skully Synapse’ heads up display (HUD) with voice control and an anti-fog, anti-scratch, anti-glare coating HUD features: Visual GPS navigation, live rear view camera feed and Bluetooth connectivity to smartphone Camera: 180 degree wide angle rear view Battery life: 9 hours Material: Lightweight, aerodynamic shell Safety approval: DOT and ECE certified Skully claims the helmet will provide riders

with: ‘advanced situational awareness system, showing navigation and blind spot data, allowing you to stay focused on the most important part of your ride - the road.’ A screen measuring just one inch across is situated on the right-hand side of the helmet visor – and the rider’s field of view – and can show a turn-by-turn map to give people directions, without them having to take their eyes off the road. The screen can also display a live feed from a 180-degree rear view camera, to get rid of dangerous blind spots and show a rider if someone is driving dangerously closely behind, giving riders ‘complete situational awareness’. Users will be able to connect their helmet

to a smartphone via Bluetooth to let the smart helmet read back text messages so that they will not be distracted by trying to grapple with a handset on the road. Once connected, a smartphone will be controlled by voice instructions so that the volume of music can be adjusted and calls made completely hands-free. Users will be able to connect their helmet to a smartphone via Bluetooth to let the smart helmet read back text messages so that a rider will not be distracted by trying to grapple with a handset on the road The cost of the P-1 helmet will be released once the beta testing programme begins this summer and testers can apply via the company’s Facebook page.

Six nations Rugby Union: england V ireland

bbc 1 - 15:30 - 17:55

iVe CoVeRaGe of the clash between england and ireland on the third weekend of the six nations championship.

England ground out a 12-6 win on a tricky day for rugby in Dublin last season and the Red Rose also emerged victorious during their last Six Nations meeting at Twickenham, a 30-9 win in March 2012. With a home World Cup on the horizon next year, England have spoken of wanting to make Twickenham a fortress, but legendary Irish centre Brian O’Driscoll will no doubt have other ideas. If he plays in Ireland’s opening two fixtures, O’Driscoll

will equal Australian legend George Gregan’s world record of 139 Test appearances at Twickenham in what is his final season as a professional. John Inverdale introduces the action, with studio analysis from Sir Clive Woodward, Jeremy Guscott and Keith Wood plus commentary from Eddie Butler, Brian Moore and Philip Matthews Live coverage of England against Ireland in the Women’s Six Nations will be available on the BBC Red Button from 6.30pm to 8.30pm today.

Party Wright around The World editor Recommends iTV 2 - 21:00 - 22:00

arty Wright around the World sees king of the essex party scene mark Wright travel the globe in search of new surroundings and social groups, before throwing them the party of a lifetime. On home turf he’s the life and soul of the party, but out of his comfort zone, how will Mark cope when confronted with an entirely different social soiree? Each week, Mark will be challenged to take on some of the weirdest and wildest parties on the

planet, throwing himself into a new ‘tribe’, learning about the people he is planning a party for, and ultimately throwing them an event to remember. From US frat parties to Harlem block bashes, the former Essex promoter has just one week to immerse himself into a brand new way of life and pull out all the stops as an expert party planner. Mark said “I know the Essex party scene inside out, but I’ve no idea what to expect about the people I’ll be meeting or the parties I’ll be throwing. Not since leaving the jungle have I been put in a situation that feels completely out of my comfort zone, but I’m determined to take on whatever challenge comes my way.”

rip Sir tom

ootBaLLinG legend sir tom Finney has died aged 91.the former england winger and Preston north end legend made more than 400 league appearances for Preston between 1946 and 1960, won 76 caps for his country and was widely regarded as one of the most talented footballers the Britain has ever produced. Finney is joint sixth on the all-time highest England scorers,with 30 goals

for England putting him level with Alan Shearer and Nat Lofthouse. The Football Association tweeted: ‘The FA is saddened to hear of the passing of Sir Tom Finney, one of England’s all-time greatest players.’ Born next to Preston’s Deepdale ground, he overcame a sickly childhood and completed an apprenticeship as a plumber before signing as a professional. His career was delayed by the Second World War and he served in the army in Egypt and Italy.

Finney twice won the footballer of the year title, in 1953-54 and 1956-57. A Preston statement said: ‘Preston North End have been informed of the extremely sad news of the passing of Sir Tom Finney. Sir Tom was the greatest player to ever play for Preston North End and one of the all time greats for England. The thoughts of everyone at the club, and those connected with it, are with his family at this time.’ Finney retired from Preston North End

in 1960, only when forced out with a persistent groin injury. He had played his entire career for his local club, appearing 433 times and scoring 187 goals. Finney is immortalised in ‘The Splash’, a sculpture by Peter Hodgkinson, which stands outside The National Football Museum. The sculpture was inspired by the 1956 Sports Photograph of the Year which features Finney beating two defenders at a waterlogged Stamford Bridge.

lebanon Furious about topless pics

eBanese skier, jackie Chamoun who is currently competing at the sochi Winter olympics, has caused outrage with a racy nude photoshoot and could face an investigation after images appeared online.

the Lebanese press have been very critical of her because of the photoshoot she took part in. The country’s caretaker sports minister has called for an investigation “to take the required steps to avoid harming Lebanon’s reputation” and Lebanon’s Olympic Committee condemned the skier’s behaviour. Ms Chamoun is one of only two Lebanese participants at the Sochi Games. She is set to compete in the slalom and giant slalom

skiing events next week. The official photos were taken for a calendar showing Ms Chamoun topless, but with skis strategically placed across her body. However, a ‘behind the scenes’ video, shows her undressed, preparing for the photoshoot, was leaked online. Jackie Chamoun has apologised and said: “The video and photos that you are now seeing are part of the making of, the preparation, it wasn’t supposed to go public. Anyways, I want to apologise to all of you, I know that Lebanon is a conservative country and this is not the image that reflects our culture.” Thousands of people have come out to support the skier, with many criticising journalists and politicians for highlighting a seemingly insignificant issue in light of the

real crises in a country facing political instability, where politicians have failed to form a Government for nearly a year and has seen increased violence in cities across the country. The ‘I Am Not Naked’ campaign has more than 5,000 likes on Facebook with male and female models holding up #stripforjackie signs in solidarity. The photographers behind the ‘I Am Not Naked’ campaign say on their Facebook page: “Some women are beaten or killed, others are raped, and the media shifts their attention to a confident talented beautiful woman who represents her country at the Olympic Games. Middle East analyst and commentator, Patrick Galey,said: “I can’t think of a clearer example of

Lebanese political impotence than ordering an inquiry into a photoshoot while bombs go off throughout the country and sorely needed reform and infrastructure projects gather dust. This is a cause that has been taken up by some outlets, partly because it wishes to draw attention away from the terrible and serious developments in Lebanon, and probably because it wishes too to draw some heat away from (media) owners, who are clearly acting contrary to national interests by refusing to form a government to deal with Lebanon’s real problems.” A recent Lebanese Ministry of Tourism advert was criticised by women’s rights campaigners in Lebanon for exploiting the female form to attract visitors.

Sochi Olympics: First Gold for Britain

ritain’s recent success in the women’s skeleton continues, Lizzy Yarnold has repeated Amy Williams’ 2010 Olympic triumph.

Lizzy Yarnold has won Britain’s first gold of the Winter Olympics in Sochi, an event won by fellow Brit Amy Williams’ in Vancouver in 2010, making it the second successive triumph in this field for Great Britain, it also means Team GB has won skeleton medals at every Games since the event was introduced to the Olympic programme in 2002 in Salt Lake City. The 25-year-old athlete from Kent, had a lead of almost half a second over her nearest rival following the first two runs on Thursday and this made her favourite going into

day two in Russia, she went on to smash the track record in her third run to move over three quarters of a second clear of American Noelle PikusPace. Yarnold clocked 58.09 seconds on her fourth and final run to win by 0.97secs from Pikus-Pace with a combined time of three minutes 52.89secs. She celebrated after her gold winning final run by running towards the British fans in the crowd holding up the Union Jack. Later in an interview she thanked supporters back home claiming she “could not have done it without you all”. Her sled nicknamed Mervyn is named after one of her supporters, the sled can reach speeds of around 80mph. Her parents Clive and Judith, sisters Katie and Charlotte, and her boy-

friend James Roche, who is a sled technician with the British bobsleigh team, were present to witness her triumph. Yarnold was a promising heptathlete as a teenager and took part in the ‘Girls4Gold’ talent identification programme when she was 19 in the hope she would be diverted into Great Britain’s modern pentathlon programme. Instead, she was sent to skeleton, whose programme had increased since Rudman won the silver medal at the Turin Olympics two years previously, within four years of getting on a sled for the first time, she was crowned junior world champion in Innsbruck in 2012. Her Olympic victory is 30 years to the day since ice skaters Torvill and Dean scooped gold for Britain in Sarajevo.

Howl Did That Get In Here?

Smoke Bomb Disrupts La Liga Match

A Y

esterday morning, American luger Kate Hansen uploaded a video to YouTube on appearing to show a wolf wandering down her hallway in the Russian city of Sochi where she is competing in the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Hansen shared the clip with her followers on Twitter but failed to provide any other information, simply tweeting ‘Wolf in my hall?!?’

On her YouTube page, she was also fairly cryptic, writing: ‘I’m pretty sure this is a wolf wandering my hall in Sochi.’ She failed to neither question how and why it was there nor show concern for her safety. Without any further information there is every chance the video may be a hoax or Hansen playing a trick on her followers. That hasn’t stopped the video quickly going viral though, with people around the world sharing the ‘Epic #SochiFail’ clip.

game between host Villarreal and Celta Vigo had to be temporarily stopped on Saturday, when a smoke bomb with effects similar to tear gas was thrown onto the pitch of El Madrigal Stadium. Fans surged toward the exits and players called for water as it apparently irritated their eyes, when the device was thrown in the 87th minute, a public announcement asked for the stadium to be evacuated. The game was interrupted

after Fabian Orellana’s score in the 83rd minute putting Celta in the lead at 1-0, after a 20-minute delay for the smoke to clear,the game was restarted and Celta’s Manuel “Nolito” Agudo scored off a free kick in the 90th minute to give the visitors a 2-0 victory. Villarreal president Fernando Roig said police are looking for the person who threw the bomb. He said the device had released tear gas and was similar to ones used by police: “Villarreal condemns and laments what has happened. This type of act in no way represents our fan base, which is calm and controlled. I am

convinced that this was done by someone who came from outside to hurt Villarreal.” Villarreal midfielder Bruno Soriano added: “These things can’t happen in our house. I hope the person is found.” Celta coach and former Barcelona player Luis Enrique said: “Everyone thought it was a flare, but when we saw (goalkeeper) Yoel (Rodriguez’s) eyes, which were bright red, we immediately realized that it was something more dangerous, this should never have happened.”

THE SPORTS SCENE By Colin Kirby

CD Marino ChaSe FoUrth Straight Win

Ven the weather couldn’t halt Cd marino’s February charge as they defied the storms to win 0-1 at union Vera last saturday to consolidate third spot. That’s a three game winning roll including two away victories, they have become a hard side to beat and spread the goals around. This week

full back Roberto Carlos was the hero with a goal just before the break. Coach Sosa Espinel deserves a lot of credit for rebuilding the squad with a mix of experienced heads and well picked new players. Youth is also getting a chance with products of the clubs large development programme like Facundo Valiente and Fran Alonso showing they are ready to challenge for a regular start.

This Sunday crisis club Vecindario from Gran Canaria are the visitors to the Playa de Las Americas ground at noon, entry is just eight euros for adults and free for kids. The visitors have lost their Vice President and main sponsor and may have to pull out of the league next week despite being well placed in 7th position.

eRe’s a neW twist for santa Cruz Carnaval season, a fancy dress run. on saturday 1st march a strange collection of clowns, cross dressers, and cartoon characters will gather at the Parque maritimo near the auditorium for a

5 km run around a set circuit. It should add another colourful excuse for a party when the annual celebrations are in full swing. As this year’s theme is cartoon stars you can expect a Speedy Gonzalez or two but it’s more about fun than breaking any records. There is no entrance fee,

you just need to be over 15 years old and register at the website www.carnivalrunning.com . The winners will receive a kilo of chicharros, the small fish that lends its name to the Carnaval anthem Chicharrero de Corazon. That’s gotta be better than a bunch of flowers and a medal.

let them down, he top scored with 15 points, followed by Ricardo Uriz on 12 and Saul Blanco with 10 but Tenerife didn’t quite have the depth of scoring to match their visitors. This Sunday it’s one of the biggest league games of the season as they welcome leaders Barcelona for a 6pm tip off. Tenerife are still smarting from a 102 to 60 mauling by Barcelona in the Copa del Rey play offs in Malaga a few weeks ago and would love to rip up the form book.

ature served up the worst of nights as rain lashed and icy gales howled but CD Tenerife and Real Zaragoza defied the lot to produce a cracking 1-1 draw. In the end the difference was human error with home goalie Roberto leaking an equalizer and Ayoze’s finishing as accurate as a spinning weathervane.

Santa Cruz needed something special to warm us up and we got it with two well matched teams giving their all and even a decent ref who let the game flow. Cidoncha beat

Tenerife Weekly - 21st February 2014 - 27th February 2014

Ruiz early on but ran the ball wide where Roberto quickly nabbed it, Ayoze got his first chance at the other end but took the ball on too far and was robbed by Laguardia. A moment of brilliance from Suso opened the scoring, he flew down the right, beat Rico, and screwed the ball back from the byline perfectly for Juanjo to drill his header into the net. The stats suggested the new forward from Ponferradina wasn’t a prolific marksman but maybe he has been waiting for someone like Suso to light his fuse. Zaragoza came back and Garcia did the hard work of chesting the ball down but then couldn’t get his shot on target. Roberto was fast and decisive off his line and snuffed

A Downpour Of Good Football In Santa Cruz

out several clear openings, particularly one for Montanes just before the break. This was good stuff, well worth a soaking and a blast of cold air up the trouser leg and the second half picked up at the same pace with Ayoze curling a shot straight at the keeper. Speculation over the young striker’s big money move is at fever pitch and he seemed to be carrying a heavy load, that spark was missing and nothing quite came off for him.

Victor couldn’t quite stretch to poke in from another attack from the visitors, Tenerife full back Moyano showed he wanted a slice of the action too and wasn’t too far away with a long range punt. Aridane made his comeback taking over from Juanjo and speedy winger Edgar replaced Cristo who along with Sanz and Ricardo had the midfield purring. With 16 minutes left a Rico free kick on the left sailed in and Roberto charged out to

clear but committed too soon and missed the ball, Arzo had an easy header to level the scores. Tenerife picked themselves up and pressed for a second goal, From a Ricardo corner the ball fell to Ayoze for a simple tap in and he fluffed it, then he had a chance to make up for it when a ball in from Suso went over the goalie and found him free at the far post but somehow he headed across the goal rather than in. Once more for Ayoze, this time the goalie

came out and blocked, the ball broke loose to Edgar and the goalie was stranded out of position but Edgar’s shot went over the bar It was the lowest crowd of the season, 7,180, but the best match and a fair draw, two away games on the trot starting at Lugo on Sunday will be a tough test. Tenerife will need Ayoze at his sharpest, Oporto of Portugal and Lyon of France are the latest to add him to their wanted list.

Firemen Rescue Granadilla Football Match

t wouldn’t even happen to Roy of the Rovers or Billy the Fish but it happened before the Atletico Granadilla v CD Tenerife B game last Sunday. The top two teams in their Tercera Division section and 300 supporters arrived for the noon game to find the ground locked. A severe weather alert had been

in place for a couple of days and the local council decided it would be dangerous to play the game – but it seems only a few privileged people were told this fixture was a casualty.

Both sides were eager to play the important match and although the surrounding hills were caked in snow the weather was

cool but bright and sunny so the hopeful parties kicked their heels outside the sealed fortress. Eventually the police and fire brigade arrived and the firemen unloaded their ladders and were allowed inside to make sure the ground was safe. There were just a few loose strands of fencing high up that needed a quick adjustment and the players and fans were allowed in after a 90 minute delay.

The home side had the most reason to be thankful as they battled to a 2-0 win with goals from an Alexis de Paz free kick and a Ruben Rosquete strike after a defensive gift. It was a day to forget for Tenerife as both goal scorers used to play for them. The home win put Granadilla back on top of their tree, and now they know who to call if they get stuck there.
