Editorial

This week, Tenerife Weekly was approached by a lovely couple of people, with a very sad story to tell. A couple from the U.K. had spent their Golden Wedding Anniversary here in Tenerife. To say their time on the Island was traumatic is an understatement. They were robbed on their arrival and their holiday was ruined. However, a group of business owners heard about their plight and got together to give them a holiday of a lifetime. It’s so nice to hear heart-

How gratifying that there are still some people who care and will go the extra mile to help out a couple, who, through no fault of their own, came up against the less than sunny side of our beautiful Island. Read their story on page 15. It must be good news week this week, our cover story tells how the Lions Club have launched a scholarship scheme to enable youngsters whose families are not in a stable financial situation, to send their children to university. The first scholarship has

The Lions Club Tenerife Isla Sur is pleased to announce the launch of their educational project for a local young person in the community to benefit from a “Tenerife Isla Sur Lions University Scholarship Award” which will start later this month.

The Lions constantly strive to improve the lives of people on the Island and recognize that there are some brilliant school leavers who would enhance their future by attending University but for family financial reasons cannot achieve their ambitions. The first recipient of the scholarship has been announced as Rudolf Cicko, who lives in Los Cristianos. Rudi was selected with the help of a local headmaster and his staff and can now count on the support of the Lions, who will be paying his tuition fees for the next five years; he can now look forward to fulfilling his

Dear Lion’s Club

As parents, we feel proud and extremely honoured to receive this assistance from such a prestigious organisation as the Lion’s club.

We both recognise that this is a marvellous opportunity offered by the Lion’s club and truly appreciate the assistance and kind consideration provided by this excellent organisation.

According to the latest information received by the councillor for town services, Gonzalo Delgado Díaz from the sanitation and recycling company Ascan Torrabonaf, we are greener than ever.

Dear Lion’s club I wish to express my most sincere appreciation and gratitude to your wonderful organisation for the scholarship award, and the superb assistance provided to me by the Lion’s club to allow me to pursue my academic career. I feel very privileged to accept this award and am eager to show my gratitude by demonstrating my total dedication and commitment to pursue this marvellous career opportunity offered by the Lion’s club, without whose generous consideration and assistance would have otherwise be deemed impossible. Please convey my kindest regards and profound thanks to all the excellent members of the Lion’s club and especially to those kind individuals offering me this splendid opportunity. Yours faithfully

The report states that between January and May there was an increase in the amount of material placed in the ecological points in the borough, indicating, says Delgado Díaz, “that residents are actively participating in keeping their borough clean and improving the local environment, as well as understanding the importance of recycling”. He also praised the hotels in the borough for continuing to place great importance on proper disposal of generated waste. In the first six months of the year over 25

thousand tons of rubbish was collected, 2.08% up on last year. Daily in Adeje, Ascan Torrabonaf collect 118,745 kilos of rubbish –that includes items deposited in the recycling containers all over the borough. From January to July, 172,480 kilos were deposited in yellow containers (plastic bottles, jars, cans, tetra packs, styrofoam, etc), 1.074,780 kilos in green containers (glass, bottles, jars…) and in the blue containers (cardboard boxes, paper, newspapers, magazines, leaflets…) 802, 400 kilos.

NEwS ON THE ROCK

dnA test results have confirmed that the woman detained is the biological mother of the baby boy found in a dump in Arico. The woman has been remanded in custody since she was detained last week and will now face murder charges. After repeated silences in response to questions about an opening time for the new store in the Centro Comercial Meridiano, Primark has at last said that it will be “very soon”, and that they will shortly have an email address available for job applicants to send CVs. I don’t know what “very soon” means, but it does sound as though it will be open this year after all. Primark says that today the remodelling works are to be checked and they will let us know the outcome A 30-year-old russian sole yachtsman is in hospital after his boat caught fire and nearly sank off Playa de Erques in Guía de Isora coast on Sunday night. Emergency services were called with reports that the boat had caught fire, and the yachtsman was found to have suffered serious burns to a third of his body. Involved in his rescue were lifeboats and helicopters, paramedics and the Policía Local of both Guía de Isora y Adeje. He was transferred to Candelaria hospital where he remains in a critical condition. With summer over, Arona is mired in corruption cases left, right and centre, it gets yet worse. The Public Prosecutor has announced criminal proceedings against 15 Arona politicians – almost the entire cohort of Arona Ayuntamiento’s governing party is going to be in the dock for corruption. This is separate to the Court of Auditors investigation of public spending irregularities. It is also separate to the Caso Arona – all five or so separate actions which comprise the whole scandal. In what is, or should be, a coup de grâce to Arona’s leaders, 12 of the 13 members of the Coalición Canaria ruling group have been indicted, including ex-mayor Reveron – who had to be forced out of office because of his own corruption proceedings – and current mayor Niño. The news has been broken by the scourge of corruption in Arona, Aquí Sur, from whom there is no doubt much more to come. Santander has announced it will close 700 branches across Spain once it has swallowed the smaller lender Banesto in a move which could cost thousands of jobs. The decision to absorb Banesto, of which Santander has a 90% stake, will save 520 million Euros (£422 million) by the third year of the merger, according to Spain’s biggest bank. Santander did not specify the likely number of job losses. Well whatever it is it seems to be working. Unemployment fell in these islands in the second quarter of 2013, and now we have one the highest unemployment drops in Spain for August, with 4,294 fewer people out of work compared to July. This drop of 1.48% (a fall of 0.9% compared to August 2012) now leaves 286,081 unemployed throughout the Canaries. By provinces, Las Palmas fell 1.47% compared to the slightly higher drop of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, 1.49% (2,022). Spain nationally itself showed a fall too, which raises hopes. 20m euros was originally promised to provide the absolute minimum to get the TF1 extension from Adeje to Santiago del Teide stretch finished. This was then reduced to 15m Euros, and in the event it will be 6m Euros. Far from enough, the Cabildo says, to get the works finished, and categorically will not allow this section of the extension to open before the end of 2014 at the earliest. To say the Cabildo is angry at the Government is an understatement …

ood food and the promotion of local gastronomy has always been a very important part of the tourist offerings for Adeje, and now the IV Tenerife gastronomy exhibition, to be based in the borough, will act as a showcase for promoting the region’s food sector, as well as underlining the importance of gastronomy an essential part of the local economy. The event also serves as a meeting point for experts in the field of food.

The event is organised by Turismo de Tenerife via the insular Cabildo, and will include a Tapas Route with over 60 local establishments taking part. There will also be gastronomy workshops, tastings, and courses with a Food Fair taking place on September 27th. This year the products to be given special attention are local cheese, honey and gofio. Canarian gofio (flour made from toasted grains) was part of the staple diet traditionally, and continues to be a regular part of the diet for many Canarian families in homes and restaurants serving local produce and recipes. Here in Adeje one of Tenerife’s mills continues to make this popular grain. The Molino Adeje prepares a number of different grains for local consumption, including the Buenas Dias gofio. Many residents and visitors will also be aware of many of the borough’s cheeses and honeys as a result of regular visits to the excellent Farmers Market at the weekends, and the prizes that these products are now winning nationally and internationally.

By Marc Craig ne of the best ways to spend a hot, sunny day in Tenerife is by jumping on board on any of the many boat trips available. We are surrounded by crystal clear waters teeming with whales and dolphins that happily swim alongside boats within touching distance-it’s a truly magical way to spend a few hoursI love it so much my wife and I chose to have our wedding/blessing on one!

So for anyone whose yet to experience a day out on a boat, this week I jumped on board one of the islands newest catamarans, just so I could give you a first-hand account of what to expect-see the things I do for you? A catamaran is a multi-hulled vessel consisting of two parallel hulls of equal size joined by some structure, which can vary from a basic frame to sleeping cabins, a bar etc. We were booked on the 1.30pm, four and a half hour trip to Los Gigantes and back, the skies were clear and the seas were calm-a word of warning, catamarans can exhibit an unsettling motion for those prone to sea-sickness-if the sea is rough keep towards the back of the boat, the front is more likely to make you nauseous. Don’t do what I did on my last-but-one boat trip when it was really choppy, having never had sea-sickness in my life I thought it would be fun to stand at the front of the boat above the front point of the right

Tenerife Weekly - 6th September 2013 - 12th September 2013

plain Sailin’

hand hull of the catamaran and “surf” the huge swells as the boat sailed over themthe sea-

sickness took me completely by surprise!! If you do start feeling sick, the best advice is to wait until the boat drops anchor and go for a swim, staying in the water for at least ten minutessorts you right out!! So, at 1.30pm we set sail for Los Gigantes, on all the catamarans there

are nets stretched between the two hulls at the front that put you really close to the sea between the hulls, they’re great for sunbathing on therefore they fill up with towels and tourists pretty quickly. The trip we booked on included free beer, wine and soft drinks which all my party began making the most of -I was the designated driver so I didn’t partake-instead I made the most of the complimentary Chicken and vegetable Paella, which was surprisingly good. Most captains on-board these trips need to speak 5 or 6 languages and I learned that self-service is selfservice in most of them...call me multi-lingual!! Fully fed (3 plates) and with everyone else starting to feel the benefits of the free bar we arrived at the magnificent cliffs of Los Gigantes. For anyone who hasn’t witnessed the sheer majesty of these formations from out at sea, it’s hard to describe the awe that they inspire, our boat took us much closer than I’ve done on other trips, they seemed almost close enough to touch and towered above our heads. The sound system blared out very appropriate awe-inspiring music, that just added to the visual treat-I recognised the “Pirates of the Caribbean” main theme amongst others, but one that I think should have played was “Jurassic Park” as when you travel a little further round and see the trail up to Masca looming in front and above, it’s really not that difficult to imagine those gulls above you are Pterodactyls-it’s that other-worldly!! So, we dropped anchor for about half an hour to 40 minutes and we were all invited to dive off the back of the boat for a swim (I was first to hit the water) as we were floating around, the boat crew members threw leftover Paella rice for the fish which swarmed around in huge numbers- dashing my hopes of a fourth plate!! Once we were all back on board and fairly dry we headed back the way we came. Most boat trips that include whales and dolphin spotting that I’ve been on, usually head further out at this point in the journey, however this time we continued to sail parallel to the coastline and it wasn’t long before we came across quite a large pod of bottle-nose dolphins, at least 15 or 16 with a couple of babies too! In my experience you’re more likely to see the more common shortfinned pilot whales so this was an extra treat! Sure enough 20 minutes after the dolphins, we sailed right through the middle of a pod of pilot whales too, it’s great seeing the look on the faces of people who are experiencing this for the first time-truly magical!! So all that was left was to head back to port. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed our boat trip, with great company (thanks to Becky, Sue, Jer and the Duck Posse), the crew were amazing, I’d recommend a day out on a boat trip to anyone, there are so many to choose from, Catamarans to Pirate ships, Glass-bottomed to fishing boats-all offering something different to the others..... why not try them all? I have!!

ron Howard’s film Set on La gomera encounters Bureaucratic obstacles

http://queeniesdailysnippets.wordpress.com

WoULdn’T you think in these days of crisis that the authorities would do whatever is within their power to ensure that projects that could bring both work and money to the islands are handled as quickly and efficiently as possible. According to La opinion, the ron howard film could give a cash injection to La gomera’s economy of around 5 million euros, but according to Willie’s La gomera Blog (http:// lagomera1.blogspot.com. es/2013/08/ron-howardsfilm-set-on-la-gomera-for. html) the local authorities seem to regard it a bit like Shania Twain and That don’t Impress them Much!

Local tradesmen from electricians to painters could apply at the town hall of Alajero to be hired for the shooting of Ron Howard’s next film ’In the Heart of the Sea’ until noon last Friday, but a problem with permits by local authorities was reported by the local media. It appears that most of the neces-

Ron Howard’s photo of the London production meeting last month sary permits have been obtained by the production company, but there is a delay with some permits that are needed, e.g. one for the removal of a minor structure (an outdoor oven or barbecue) which is in the way of the large set. The most important documents and permits have been obtained and some concern ‘Costas’, a state authority that controls a narrow strip of land along all Span-

ish coasts, including all beaches. The main area to be used in the shooting of ‘In the Heart of the Sea’ on La Gomera, is the remote ‘Playa de Tapahuga’ beach where most of the elaborate set including a large water basin will be constructed. While the town from which Tapahuga is accessed is Playa de Santiago in the municipality of Alajero, this beach is administered by the island’s capital

Interest in the production and the new film has been very strong, but again and again it is being called ‘a remake of Moby Dick’, which it is NOT. Melville’s Moby Dick is a work of fiction based on two separate stories. One of them was the story of the whaling ship ‘Exeter’ in 1820 which was for about 100 years the most talked about tragedy at sea until the Titanic sank. The other story that had fascinated Melville was an account of the difficult killing of an albino whale in the late 1830s. He worked the two stories into his famous novel of American Romanticism, which was, many years later, Meetings with production team adapted for film. and art dept - stuff like “how many ‘In the Heart of the Sea’ is the dogs horses sea gulls to book for meticulously researched account of September”. the loss of the whaler ‘Exeter’ and the ordeal the crew went through.

A Spot Of Crime In Tenerife http://redqueenmusings.wordpress.com

im and I were trying to decide where we should go for next year’s main holiday. One suggestion that hit the shortlist was a Nile Cruise. I know my daughter Kate would love this, she would probably envisage herself swanning around in a long floaty dress and huge hat reminiscent of someone from Death on the Nile. With this picture in mind I remembered reading that the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie had spent some time in Tenerife. Not those famous 11 days when she disappeared, claiming that she’d suffered a bout of amnesia and eventually

turned up in a hotel in Harrogate. Her visit to Tenerife was a couple of months after her reappearance, to escape media attention. Agatha, her secretary Charlotte

Fischer and Agatha’s twelve-yearold daughter decided to leave England and holiday in the Canary Islands in February 1927. They arrived by steamship in Santa Cruz and from

there travelled on to Puerto de la Cruz. At that time, Puerto was little more than a fishing village that because of the climate had started to attract tourists called ‘invalids’ because the majority came to recover from illnesses. The only accommodation in the centre of the village was the hotels Martinez, and Monopol, however the British community favoured the Gran Hotel Taora built on the hill and surrounded by English style gardens with croquet lawns and golf and tennis courts. During her time in Tenerife Agatha continued to work on her long overdue book The Mystery of the Blue Train but she never felt proud of it, as it was only written to pay off her debts. On the other hand, it was while walking around the gardens of Sitio Litre and Martinez that she began taking notes that are claimed to be the inspiration for her favourite characters the enigma that is Harley Quin and Mr. Satterthwaite an elderly man who is Poirot without the little grey cells, in the ‘The Mysterious Mr Quin’. Sadly, overall, Agatha was not enamoured with Puerto de la Cruz as can be seen in her Autobiography

….. The big mountain towered up: there were glorious flowers in the hotel grounds – but two things about it were wrong. After early morning, mists and fog came down from the mountain at noon, and the rest of the day was grey. Sometimes it even rained. And the bathing, to keen bathers, was terrible. …. So on 27 February she decided to take the boat to the neighbouring island of Gran Canaria. Following her stay in Tenerife and Gran Canaria Agatha slowly rebuilt her life and in 1930 visited Baghdad where she met Max Mallowan and three years later she married the archaeologist. She never returned to the Canary Islands, hardly surprising because she once said, “Never go back to a place where you were happy, if you do you will ruin it”. So back to holidays, Jim and I have been to Egypt several years ago but not on a cruise, however with the latest news and the foreign office advising everyone to stay away, perhaps it is an omen that we were not meant to go back we just might not enjoy it. Ah well back to the drawing board!

Memories of David Parkes Mob Style

By Steve Andrews

As many of you will know my very dear friend David Parkes is no longer with us and I thought I would like to share some memories of the time I spent with him so here goes:

I spent many hours walking with Dave in the mountains and forests of Tenerife. This was what he really loved doing and where he belonged. Sometimes it was just the two of us but other times with mutual friends, and earlier this year with Dennis Marshall whom I am very glad I introduced to David. The two got to meet up again recently when Dave was in the Lake District in the UK. I love the world of nature and so was really happy to find that Dave did too. I told him he had all the makings of a first-class botanist, and I meant it. He would stop and ask questions that I had difficulty answering, and he would quickly learn how to spot one genus of plants and what its characteristics were. He wanted to know about the small and weedy looking species as well as the big and showy ones. They were all of equal importance.

He would send me photos of flowers he had found and wanted to know what they were. He bought an excellent book on the flora of the Canary Islands by David Bramwell and began correspondence with the author’s son Alex. Dave posted lots of his plant photos on his Tenerife Outdoors site and in his Facebook photo galleries. He told me he learned a lot from me while we were out walking and I was so glad to hear this and looking forward to watching him learn more and more over the coming years. Like myself, David had a strong love of animals too and they could see this in him. Dogs and cats knew he was their friend. One walk I started with Dave at the Erjos ponds we had to abandon because of a dog that needed rescuing. We had only gone some 500 metres when we heard a strange cry. It turned out to be a dog trapped underground where a wall and earth had fallen in on the poor creature. David scrambled up over the terraces and dug the dog out with his hands. It looked as if its back legs or hip was injured because it couldn’t stand. It was clearly in pain

Threats In La Oratava

and we had no way of knowing how long it had been there. Dave carried the dog over his shoulder and took it back to the car. The animal trusted him completely. We tried finding a vet that was open and ended up at one in Icod where a woman vet gave us a phone number to ring. It didn’t work so David consulted numbers he had on his mobile and found one of an animal welfare friend. He called her and she told us of another vet to go to and said she would take responsibility for the animal’s welfare. We found the other place just in time because it was closing. They looked the dog over and gave her some wa-

ter and assured us she would get whatever treatment was needed and would be moved to the APANOT shelter in Icod. As we later found out that was done and the dog made a recovery from her injuries. She had been renamed Perla and we saw on the APANOT site that they had found her a home. I wanted to share that as it is one example of many of the kind and compassionate man that David was and how he would put himself out to help others. The safety and welfare of the injured dog was what mattered to him. I will always remember that day and all my other happy times in his company.

The Guardia Civil have arrested two men in Tenerife, aged 40 and 29, who allegedly abducted, beat and tortured another man who owed them money.

The incident which, although it sounds like it came from the pages of an American TV drama, actually took place on August 10 in a house located in the center of La Orotava. The accused apparently approached the 27-year-old victim in the street, handcuffed his hands behind his back with plastic ties and bundled him off to the house where, he alleges, he was repeatedly beaten. The kidnappers threatened to cut his head off with a machete and held a blowtorch very close to his face. Officers believe that the victim, as well as being in debt, may also have been in a romantic relationship with a family member of his attackers. Even after he was finally released, the thugs continued to harass him, sending threatening ‘phone messages and scrawling insulting graffiti on the facade of the family home. The detainees, who were also residents of La Orotava, have been charged on suspicion of the crime of illegal detention, threats and coercion and have been made available to the Magistrate’s Court in La Orotava.

Back To School Healthy Options With A Hefty Bill S

Figures from the Adeje department of health show that between May and August of this year, over 3,500 persons took part in activities organised by the department as part of the borough’s overall health campaign.

ending their kids back to school this week has cost Canarian families an average of 700 euros per child, albeit 138 euros less than in the rest of Spain , this is almost 1 per cent more than last year.

Some youngsters fishing off the harbour wall at Playa de San Juan on Thursday got more than they bargained for when they landed a three-foot shark.

and private schools usually require more books bringing in each case the price to 200 and 240 euros, respectively. As for school supplies such as backpacks, notebooks, folders, pens, etc., about 50 euros is spent for state school pupils and 100 euros in the private sector .

School transport amounts to about 143 per month on average, 20 euros more than in 2011. FUCI believes it is essential to have free text books in all regions to avoid the inequalities that currently exist with each region having a different system and applying different subsidies.

According to health councillor Rafael Dolado all the activities were managed by the Municipal School of Health with the focus on improving individual’s understanding of their own health issues, and improving the quality of life in all sectors of the local population. The school’s programme is over three terms and directed at different sections – adult health, women’s health, senior citizens’ health and health among school children. The latter is developed and promoted through the borough’s education centres, and reached 2,798

in the months in questions. Primary school students attended talks on healthy eating habits, the prevention of obesity and the promotion of exercise. Over 529 people took part in the adult health programme, titled Ellos y Ellas (His ‘n Hers) which underlined the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and risk reduction, and 45 women from Adeje attended classes under the women’s health section. Senior citizens were also offered a series of workshops dedicated to their specific health issues.

Fishy Tale? Royal British Legion newsinthesun.com

The Royal British Legion is responsible for the welfare of serving and ex-service people and their dependants, including those residing abroad.

The kids had to get help from other fishermen to land the catch, but in the end couldn’t take all the credit because the creature was already dead when their fishing hook snagged its tail. Local windsurfer Mauro Sambe, who snapped a photograph of the shark, said it was most likely thrown back into the sea near the harbour, after having been caught from a boat further out. Mauro told a Spanish newspaper that the animal “appeared to have blood on its head.” The shark was a Mako or Porbeagle (Lamna nasus) which is a species of mackerel

shark, which when full grown may reach over four meters long. Canary waters are home to more than 40 shark spe-

cies, mainly Dogfish, Angels and Hammerhead sharks, but Blue sharks, Makos and even some white sharks haunt the islands’ waters.

Lions Presidents Night

The latest edition of the Royal British legion magazine; free to members, carried a very informative feature on wills, probate, and the procedure for leaving a legacy to a registered charity such as the Royal British Legion. It also contained the following; “when putting together your will it is just as important to put in place provision for a funeral, however unpleasant the thought may be”. Funerals can be expensive so it is a good idea to plan well in advance. To receive more information on this RBL feature and of the role of the RBL in Spain please contact 699 803 827.

According to a study by the Federation of Independent Consumers Users (FUCI) , released on Sunday , communities such as Madrid , Catalonia and Valencia are the most expensive , while at the other end of the scale are the Canary Islands, Galicia and La Rioja . The study, which analysed about 300 state, subsidized and private schools around Spain, shows the most expensive item is clothing. The study also analysed the basic cost of textbooks with an average price down this year to 180 euros, compared to 195 for 2012. However, both subsidized

As a result of her win in 2012 she went on to win second place at national level, and has been working as a photographic and television model.

new Home for Leon equal opportunities through education Leon, a young gorilla who lives at Loro Parque is leaving Tenerife for pastures new in South America, where he will be the only one of his kind on the continent and will have an opportunity to start a family.

The gorilla, who is about to celebrate his 15th birthday, is currently being prepared for the journey of his life scheduled for autumn. Leon will leave behind his brother and other gorillas at the zoo here in Tenerife, and cross the Atlantic to Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He will join female gorillas Imbi, who is already at the zoo, and LouLou, who will be transferred simultaneously from Britain’s Howletts Zoo. Leon’s expected descendants will help the species have a presence in South America in the future and are expected to encourage visitors from Brazil and its neighbours, zookeepers Juan Vicente Martinez and Rafael Zamora Padron said. Imbi and Lou-Lou will be the first females that Leon will see since he separated from his mother in his native Tel Aviv eight years ago. Gorilla families in the wild

In conjunction with the regional department of Education, according to Pérez Ramos 80,000 Euros was spent on improving school centres including the Los Olivos and El Galeon secondary schools. The infant school Duendecillo Azul also received attention, and the council oversaw the inauguration of new classes for tourism studies in the Adeje Cultural Centre. Up to 50,000 Euros has been allocated by the council for school material for families who qualify for this assistance, and 60,000 Euros for transport particularly for students taking courses for their bachillerato and vo-

cational education courses as well as 54,000 Euros for university aid. Councillor Pérez Ramos said that it was a priority of the council to ensure that all students in the borough who need financial help in achieving their educational potential would get it. “Today more than ever we need to maintain our grants allocation for both university and vocational training. Many students need this kind of grant aid because without it they couldn’t continue with their studies”, he added. Term time begins in the borough’s primary schools next Monday, September 9th.

presenting exhibition “arte en pié”

We are happy to announce that from the 6th – 26th September the exhibition “Arte en Pié” will open its doors to the public.

This on-going event will be held at the location of la Ermita in San Miguel de La Laguna and has been organised by the department of Culture in La Laguna together with

the Canarian Mental Health Foundation “En Pié” (Make a Stand/Stand up). The Foundaton “En Pié” was founded with the goal of defending, protecting and improving the quality of life of those suffering with mental illnesses, specifically schizophrenia. For two years they have been carrying out a series of projects with this aim in mind and in this case have boldly demonstrated that

the human spirit and art know no limits. The exhibition is full of imagination, contrasts, and of course, huge amounts of talent. The paintings provide a sneak peek at the world from the perspective of someone suffering from a severe mental illness. Then add to the mix Tenerife’s own surrealist painter Amelia Pisaca and the Dutch photographer Danny De Jong and we

get this magnificent amalgamation where the explosive volcano of colour from Amelia contrasts in a drastic manner with the cold, decadent chiaroscuros that the Dutch Artist displays with notable Scandinavian nuances.

Timetable: Monday to Friday from 11.00 – 14.00 and 17.00 to 20.00 and Saturday from 11.00 to 14.00.

The Canary Islands led the Spanish housing market during the second quarter of 2013 with an increase in sales of 16% , thanks in the main to foreign customers who made up one in

pensions overseas

By Sylvia From Crystal Clear Solutions

PenSIon rules are notoriously complicated, and this is doubly true for expats trying to keep their retirement planning on track when they move overseas.

State pensions are not affected if you decide to move abroad. All you need to do is inform your local authority of your plans and give them the details of a local bank branch or post office in the town overseas where you wish to receive your money. If you have further queries or concerns about this, contact The Pensions Advisory Service (OPAS) on 08456 012923. You will need to ensure you make similar arrangements for any personal or occupational pensions before you leave. Those sent overseas by an employer may stay in a UK company pension scheme. Expatriates are allowed to continue paying into a UK personal pension for up to five years. Advisers also suggest that expatriates consider paying voluntary National Insurance contributions to preserve their State pension entitlements. Even those who stop paying NI and move abroad permanently will still be entitled to some pension at State retirement age. This can be paid either in the UK or to a new bank account abroad. But the amount depends on where you retire.

detox With forever Living

eVer wanted to do a detox but not sure where to start or how to do it? I have detoxed several times in the past 8 years. The first was for ten days. I took a herbal supplement to help cleanse my system but struggled BIg time, largely I think because I was alone doing it and had to continue preparing food for the kids when I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat it. Following that, I did several 2/3 day water and lemon detox processes, which were fairly straight forward but very hard energy wise. Recently I have seen, firsthand the Forever Living Clean 9 Detox Programme in action. From an inch loss point of view the general rule seems to be 2.5-3 kilos loss and cms loss of anything up to 26cms in just 9 days.. I like this programme as you can eat as of day 3! You drink Aloe Vera Gel, take bee pollen, a protein supplement and Garcinia. At Origins Wellness in Pearly Grey we are teaming up once again with Julie from Forever Living to offer a special programme which I believe will greatly enhance the impact of the detox pro-

gramme alone. You are being offered, The Forever Living Clean 9 Detox Programme combined with group support, exercise and a complete lifestyle overhaul assessment to help you take advantage of the detox on all levels, not just inch loss but improving knowledge to make better choices with your food, your exercise habits, wellness and generally your life. There will be group meetings during the course of the 11 days for tracking, motivation, exercise and knowledge sessions. There is also a Facebook support group where you will have access to videos, info and your group of fellow detoxees and coaches, as and when you need each other, and us!! If you would like a no ob-

This way we can ensure all of you get the absolute best out of us and your experience over the 9 days. Final Booking date is the 16th September to ensure you have all the material you need to start your detox with us on the 22nd September. So if you answered yes to the question at the beginning of this column, you have two choices. Join us and get some real life changing results or stay as you are and well, get nothing new. Judith McFadden Bsc DSRM www.OriginsWellnessTenerife.eu

In some countries, Britain freezes the State pension from the date you move overseas, or at the date you claim the pension if you already live there. This means 500,000 UK pensioners in these countries, which include Australia, Canada and South Africa, do not get the annual increases. But those who retire to the European Union or America will get the full annual rise. Contact OPAS for more details. Private and company pensions must be handled separately. Big employers who move staff overseas temporarily can keep them in a UK company pension scheme. Even people who move independently can keep a British pension

going - they are allowed to pay in and earn tax relief on their contributions for up to five years. The point at which you start taking a UK company or personal pension can also be crucial. Anyone retiring overseas with a pension paid in sterling might want to shift other savings into the new home currency to reduce the risk of sterling falling. Most offshore banks that target expatriates offer multicurrency accounts, allowing clients to switch between the euro, US dollars or sterling with a phone call.

Autumn Events For Your Calendar

insey Sloan and Lorraine Mckeon, who, as reported last week took on the Tough Mudder Challenge in Scotland, a gruelling 12 mile assault course. They are back, they have recovered, and they are pictured here presenting us with a cheque for 700 Euros!!! Girls, we can’t thank you enough. So where will the money go? Well, last year Yahaira from the Adepac refuge in the north kindly took some of older dogs, in the hope of finding them a home. One of them, the lovely Raudo, had been with us since the Arico days, and is now over 10 years old. Still without a home, they arrived at the refuge one day to find him collapsed and struggling to breathe. The vets said only a CAT scan could really tell the true picture, so one was done, which revealed a herniated disc that was rendering him paralysed and unable to eat or go to the toilet. The solution was urgent specialised

surgery in Gran Canaria, BUT the cost has been high, around 1,000 Euros. As Raudo is a Live Arico dog we felt an obligation to him, and Linsey and Lorraine were happy that their money would go towards his vet fees. We have sent 800 Euros in total and the surgery has been successful. We will update you on Raudo’s recovery in the next weeks. We are sure that Raudo is very grateful..... Charlie, Stefanie and all at the Blue Luna in Los Cristianos where we raised 286 Euros at a Spanglish event last Sunday. A fantastic day was had by all with entertainment from Silvio, Ollie, Alfie B, Suzy q, Matt Brookes, Aidy Evans, Dave Michaels, Steve Delsey, and Michaela. Many fantastic prizes for the raffle were donated by The Blue Luna, Shazarooski, the Palms Chippy, the Roast House, Poochies Pet Hotel, The Sushi Bar and the Dail Fountain Bar. The Blue Luna also donated some of the takings from their delicious tapas. We really had a great afternoon and look forward to a repeat very soon.

On Saturday the 28th September from 8pm, we find ourselves back on the Top Square, Golf del Sur for our three monthly fund raising spectacular. The event will also feature a fashion show of items from our shops, which can be bought at the event. The rule is we have to better the entertainment each and every time. It’s a challenge. So, you never know what will happen next. Come and see..... Sunday the 6th October sees us back at Horse Riding Adventures, Aldea Blanca, for Katie’s BBQ number 2. Can it possibly be as good as the last one? Probably, because it coincides with a show jumping competition, which starts at 10am. Live Arico PAWS will be hosting a BBQ lunch at 1, and as the day also coincides with the birthday of one of Katie’s sponsors, Sally from Tenerife Angels, there will be live entertainment from Sebastian and more. Come and enjoy the day. On Saturday the 19th October we will be having a bit of a posh do. Get your best togs out for our black tie and posh frock fundraiser at Vivo, Playa de las Americas, from 7pm. Be entertained by the world class Bitter and Twisted, whilst you enjoy a two course meal with wine, beer and soft drinks at the table. Later, chill out on the terrace with Marc Craig and maybe some special guests. Tickets priced at just 25 Euros each, call Sue quickly on 629 388 102 as they are going fast already. The dress code is of course optional, come as you please, but we thought we needed an excuse to dress up for a change, haha. In any event, don’t miss it; it will be a night to remember.

Golden Anniversary Holiday Surprise Dear Tenerife,

The Golden Wedding Anniversary celebration for Patricia and Gerald Davis turned into a “Golden Hell” when they visited Tenerife. Gerald had suggested that they celebrate their anniversary here; he wanted something a more glamorous than Leicester, where they had spent their honeymoon. The couple flew to Tenerife in March; their anniversary was the following day, so they packed a bottle of bubbly to start their celebrations, and plenty of money. “I want to see the dolphins “Patricia had told Gerald, he in turn wanted a helicopter ride. As they waited for the bus to take them to the Columbus Aparthotel in Las Americas, a white car pulled up next to them and a man started talking to Gerald in Spanish, Gerald had no idea what he was talking about, and, as they were both distracted, a second man, snatched Patricia’s hand luggage, containing her hand bag, passports, travel documents as well as all of their spending money. The couple then spent 3 hours with police before they finally managed to make their way back to the hotel. The next day, their anniversary; they

opened their cards in tears. A holiday rep for Thomson did what she could to help and they managed to get emergency documents to get them back home. Their time in Tenerife was spent getting documents together organising everything, with the help of the consulate. They had to pay out for emergency passports as well as new return tickets – their holiday of a lifetime was ruined. The couple had planned to do so much during their holiday, but with the lack of funds, nothing was possible. The highlight of their stay was a game of bingo at their resort, it was free, and so they went along and Patricia won a bottle of champagne. When the time came for them to return home, luck was still not on their side, their champagne was confiscated - it had not been bought in the duty free! “We had a terrible time, we never wanted to go back” said Patricia On their return, the couple contacted their local paper and asked them to write a warning to people about what had happened to them. The story was read by Tenerife apartment owner Margaret Maggs from Wrexham. Margaret was horrified about what had happened “On my beautiful Island”, she offered the Davis’ a free holiday in her

So, after 2 hours in the police station we got to the hotel and explained our passports etc. had been stolen and I asked to use the ‘phone inside the hotel to cancel my debit card. He told me to use the payphone outside. A rep at the hotel called Jo; she was fantastic, arranged for us to go to the British Embassy for a passport to get home which cost us £215, to get home and which they keep when you return. She also got us return tickets faxed from our travel agent. She was brilliant and helped us as much as

she could. When I got back home, I said we’re never going back again. I asked our local paper to just warn anyone going to Tenerife to watch their bags, but they came out for the story and it was printed. The paper rang to tell me that a Mrs. Margaret Maggs had ‘phoned to say she loved Tenerife and wanted to offer her apartment for as long as we wanted as she felt so sorry for what had happened on her beautiful Island. At first we said no and put the number to one side, and then I looked at it again and decided to ring and thank her for her kind offer. After talking to her, she sounded so nice, we said we will go. Afterwards I hoped I had done the right thing, I’d never met her, and she had never met me, so I thought life’s too short, she sounds so nice, so we booked the flight and we came over. WHAT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE. I didn’t expect what happened. I had said to Margaret I wish you were coming too and she said don’t worry, someone’s picking you up inside the airport and taking you back. I can’t come I’ve got a funeral to go to, but ring me when you are settled and I said I would. I imagine my wonderful surprise when we found out she had come after all and surprised

us. It was wonderful, but there was much more to come. Two of Margaret’s friends had organised so many lovely things for us. Our dream helicopter ride, wonderful people offering meals, a boat trip; people were wonderful. It is such a beautiful Island. One of Margaret’s friend said she would do my hair and polish my husband’s head, as he has no hair to set (haha) I cannot praise these people enough, so many free meals and drinks etc. They’re wonderful. I have wanted to go up in a helicopter all my life, and they even arranged that, we are still in shock, but everyone is so wonderful. I hope one day, someone does something wonderful for Margaret and all her wonderful friends. They deserve the very best, and if I ever win a fortune on the lottery, I can promise you I would see them all right. I would like to thank all these wonderful people in your paper. I hope everyone who reads my story will love this Island as much as we do now, and my new friends on this wonderful Island. We can’t wait to come back again. Thank you so much to everyone. We will never forget your kindness for our wonderful ‘belated’ Golden Wedding.

apartment; she wanted to show that Tenerife was not all bad. At first they refused, Tenerife was the last place they wanted to return to. But a few days later, they called Margaret and accepted her generous offer, and arranged to fly out to Tenerife in August. When they had arrived and settled into their holiday home – Margaret’s apartment at Club Olympus, they were told what the rest of the holiday had in store for them. Margaret had got a friend, Brian, to speak to various businesses here and tell them what had happened to the couple. Everyone was as horrified as

Margaret had been, and did what they could to help. Local businesses donated breakfasts, lunches, dinners and drinks. Poker Chip Charter owner, Neil Goodchild, gave them a sea life safari, to see the whales and dolphins, Ticket Box excursion owner, Gary Mather, got in touch with Helidreams and arranged a flying trip in one of their helicopters. Vivo Decades invited them to an evening, as their guests, at the Bitter & Twisted Dinner Cabaret Show. Everyone involved simply wanted the Davis’ to enjoy a holiday and show that, like many, many other places around the world, we do have our share of crime, but we also have people, like

Brian and Margaret, who love Tenerife, and are proud of what there is here. The community wanted to show Tenerife in a positive light, and prove to the Davis’ it would be worth giving it a second chance. As Patricia and Gerald agree now “It was almost worth getting mugged for”.

We had just landed, waiting for our transport to the Columbus Hotel in Las Americas when a car pulled into the airport asking for information. Being English we could not understand him, I was distracted watching my husband talking to the driver, my hand luggage was on top of my suitcase beside me, and his friend must have gone behind the bus and picked up my hand luggage with my hand bag inside with our passports, money, phone, driving licence, return tickets and insurance documents inside. The car then drove off towards the entrance, picked up his friend with my hand luggage and drove off.

Mainland DJ Hilton Signs For 2014 News In Brief Youth unemployment in Spain has reached a new high of 56.1%, a quarter of the 3.5 million under-25s jobless across the euro zone, according to the latest Eurostat figures. The number of young Spaniards belonging to what is now known as the lost generation is up 2% since June to 883,000. Among adult males, Spain has the highest unemployment at 25.3%, higher even than Greece. Despite the government’s claims that the worst has passed and that employment reforms will encourage firms to hire, the figures suggest it will be a long time before any upturn in the economy is reflected in the declining jobless rate. With the holiday season coming to a close, the numbers are likely to rise as workers on seasonal contracts go back on the dole. With close to six million Spaniards out of work, unemployment is so entrenched that there was no political reaction to the latest figures, from either the government or the opposition. Indeed, mentioning the economy at all has become virtually taboo across the political spectrum. Meanwhile, Spaniards and recent immigrants are deserting the country in search of work, with 500,000 leaving in 2012, 60,000 of them Spanish nationals, most of them to Latin America and Europe. Tony Award winner Hugh Jackman will receive the Donostia Award for lifetime achievement on September 27th at the 61st edition of the San Sebastian Festival in Spain, prior to the special screening of his latest film, “Prisoners”. Los Molinos, on the outskirts of Madrid has organized its very own low budget version of the World’s Strongest Man competition called the Brutathlon. Residents get to witness a new competition that stands out for its brutishness and idiotic nature. The competition is being organized by a local club called Los Zagales. “Everybody has always said our members behave like brainless brutes,” event organizer Ruben Guerrero told Spanish newspaper El Mundo. “So rather than organize a game of paddle tennis or a card game to raise money for our local fiestas, we decided to live up to our reputation.” Guerrero, along with other members of Los Zagales friends association, came up with five events for the highly anticipated Brutathlon. These included gas canister hurling, tree stump throwing, breezeblock chucking, railway sleeper dragging and tractor wheel turning. “We made sure the gas canisters were empty before we started hurling them,” Guerrero clarifies. Spanish car sales dropped 18.3% year-on-year in August after rising by almost 15% in July, car manufacturers’ association Anfac have announced. August’s figures were impacted by a jump in car sales in the same month last year ahead of a 3-percentage-point rise in value-added tax in September and due to calendar effects, Anfac said. 38,872 cars were sold in August and the association said a government subsidy scheme for the purchase of new vehicles would mean a probable rise in September. Spanish police have arrested a gang of 10 bank robbers in Madrid who used the drains to enter and leave bank branches. The 10 were suspected of violently robbing seven banks in the Spanish capital, police said in a statement. Four members of the gang were captured as they emerged from underground with three firearms, a crowbar and torches after committing a robbery in which they seized more than 60,000 euros. Officers said they detained another four suspects who were waiting outside for their fellow thieves. Two other suspects were arrested later. “During the investigation officers found out that the gang leader was the son of a well-known bank robber who used the same method for his bank hits,” the police statement said.

Paris Hilton, a well-known socialite in Hollywood circles is branching out her interests into working as a DJ in night clubs. She was so successful as an international club DJ in Spain the past couple of months, she has already signed for a repeat performance in 2014.

Hilton turned out to be a major draw this summer at Amnesia nightclub in Ibiza, Spain, where she played to large crowds on a weekly basis at the club’s well known “Foam & Diamonds” parties. The owner of the club has admitted he was nervous when he first signed Hilton, but his fears were quickly alleviated when she stepped in to the booth and the crowds went absolutely insane. The owner said, “The number of people attending kept on growing and the positive word of mouth in Ibiza was just phenomenal.” On a flight back to L.A. Hilton bragged that she “killed it,” and now she is getting a lot of other offers. It’s not clear how much cash Hilton will earn for the 2014 gig, but given she’s already one of the wealthiest young women in the world, she doesn’t really have to worry about that as she proves to her fans she’s not just attractive with exquisite tastes in fashion, she’s also a great entertainer.

Each year, millions of visitors flock to the Alhambra, the Moorish palace in Granada, Spain. Pilgrims gravitate toward the palace and its and secret gardens, each with its own legends and stories. But recently, researchers discovered an unexpected missive of another kind: A 92-year-old love letter, hidden in the ornate woodwork of a palace door.

As part of a project to document and catalogue the site’s history through high-resolution photographs, archaeologists moved a massive wooden door that once belonged to the now-defunct church of San Gil de Granada. While moving the wooden frame, they discovered a note folded inside the surface’s intricate latticework. Unseen for decades, the love letter bears the date Aug. 29, 1921 from the town of Sorvilán, south of Granada along the Mediterranean coast. According to the museum’s website, the letter was written on a Monday by a man named Pepe who intended for a woman named Emilia to read the letter the following day. Pepe wrote that along with some grapes, a man named Don Antonio would bring a letter for her on Wednesday. Pepe insisted, before giving an emotional goodbye, that if the trans-

92-Year-olds Love Letter Discovered porter did not bring the grapes on Wednesday, that she not ask about the subject, reassuring her that he would go on Thursday. According to EFE news agency, the note, written with poor spelling on plain paper, goes on to say: If on Wednesday they do not arrive, don’t speak with the man with grapes on Thursday... Tell me if you received the grapes and you can send the letters with the man bringing grapes... With nothing else today, kisses from the one who loves you. The provenance of the note remains something of a mystery to museum researchers. No one knows who Pepe or Emilia are, or if Emilia ever read the original letter or its mysterious sequel. Researchers have determined,

however, that the letter would not have been hidden while the door’s wood was part of San Gil de Granada, as the church was destroyed at the end of the 19th century to make way for a wider main street to run through the

city’s center. And although researchers have handled the letter in gloves as if it were a jewel, it will not be displayed in the site’s museum, as it “lacks necessary historical value,” according to HuffPost Spain.

Balcony man jailed for Southampton airport death Smuggling attempt

A 44-YeAr-oLd man has been jailed for 12 months years after being found guilty of attempting to smuggle approximately five kilos of cannabis into the UK.

The drugs had an estimated street value of £60,000. Southampton Crown Court heard that on 6 May 2013 Border Force officers at Southampton International Airport stopped Nicholas GILES who had arrived on a flight from Malaga. Before officers searched his baggage Giles admitted to having five kilos of “weed” in his suitcase. The case was opened and the drugs could be seen wrapped in

clear plastic. Giles was arrested and charged and he pleaded guilty at Southampton Magistrates Court on 12 August and was sentenced in the Crown Court today. Malcolm Bragg, from Border Force said: “Our officers play an important role in protecting the public and work hard to make sure drugs are not smuggled into the country. “Drug trafficking is a serious offence and those convicted will face prison sentences. The message to anyone tempted to get involved is clear. We will catch you and you will pay with your liberty.” Anyone with information about activity they suspect may be linked to smuggling should call the hotline on 0800 59 5000.

A MAn in his 20s has died in a fall from his hotel room balcony in the resort of Magaluf, Majorca. The young man fell through the cracks of a balcony in the early hours of Monday morning; he was believed to have been practising what is known as “balconing”, jumping from balcony to balcony, or into a pool from a balcony.

It is understood to be the second death in 24 hours from the activity on Majorca. Another

young victim died on Sunday after falling from a height of eight metres onto the courtyard below. Hotels and apartments in the area have increased security measures in recent months after learning of the practise, according to Spanish news organisation Telecinco. It claims that at least seven people have died this year from the sport. :: The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has confirmed a British national has died in Magaluf in the last 24 hours, but gave no other details.

www.tenerife-weekly.com A British man has been questioned by a Spanish judge on suspicion of killing his 69-year-old father during a fight at a holiday camping site. Spanish police said he had been taken before a judge and subsequently released on bail while the investigation continues.

Ian Bennett, 45, was arrested on Friday in L’Estartit, a seaside town on northeast Spain’s Costa Brava, after allegedly attacking his father, 69-year-old Douglas Bennett. Security guards called police who found the suspect’s father lying on the ground in a pool of blood with serious head injuries, he was taken to hospital where he died later. Reports suggest A police spokesman said: “Officers from the Mossos d’Esqudra have arrested a 45-year-old British man in connection with the death of his 69-year-old father. The victim was taken by emergency services to hospital to be attended for the wounds he suffered, while

Son Arrested For Father’s Murder local police in Torroella de Montgri arrested the alleged perpetrator

for domestic violence. “The victim died this morning

and investigators from the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalan regional

police) took on the case.” An autopsy is due to take place today to confirm the cause of death. The Castell Montgri holiday camp is located at the foot of the Rocamaura mountain next to the town of L’Estartit in the Costa Brava region of northeast Spain. This resort is popular with British tourists during the holiday season. The victim’s brother Bob told The Mail on Sunday he was “very sad” to hear about his death. “Doug and Ian were so close it was unreal,” he added. “Ian was very ill about 20 years ago when he had some sort of mental breakdown.” Douglas Bennett’s younger sister, Valerie, 47, said: “All we know is Doug is dead and Ian has been arrested. I’m stunned.” It has been reported that Douglas Bennett and his wife Gloria, from Chard in Somerset, were staying there in a mobile home with his son and his wife, Louisa. Castell Montgri’s website says the camp, which is at the entrance to the village, offers a “beautiful natural setting” and “stunning sandy beaches”.

Spain Updates Child Poverty Increases Railway Speed Signs Spain has updated speed signs across its rail network following the derailment of a fast-moving train last month, killing 79 people, state rail infrastructure company Adif has announced.

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) says the high unemployment rate and economic slump in Spain have increased the number of children living below poverty line: “The level of child poverty in Spain was already high, it was already about 20% in 2008” when the economic crisis broke out in Spain, UNICEF said in a statement.

“With the crisis the figures are getting worse year by year. Not only are there more children under the poverty line but those that are, are getting poorer,” the statement added.

Newly released data showed that unemployment among Spaniards aged below 25 reached a new high of 56.1%. According to the latest data released by Eurostat, the new figure means that a quarter of the 3.5 million unemployed youth across the eurozone are Spaniards. Spain must lower its deficit to 4.5% in 2013 and 2.8% in 2014. Many economists, however, say those targets will be difficult to meet amid poor prospects for Spain’s economic recovery. The Spanish government has also been sharply criticized over its austerity measures that are hitting the middle and working classes the hardest.

Madrid Celebrates Panda Arrival The company said it has identified 80 “transition points” on its network where trains are required to significantly reduce their speed and has installed signs on these locations to remind drivers that they must slow down. “These signs will boost safety but the system is already safe,” the company said in a statement. The train leapt off the tracks on a sharp bend on the outskirts of the north west city of Santiago de Compostela on July 24th in Spain’s deadliest rail disaster since

1944. A regional court last month brought charges of reckless homicide against the driver, who failed to slow the train down enough before it crashed at twice the speed limit. But the judge investigating the crash, Luis Alaez, said he also wanted to question the operators responsible for safety on the route that night, to see whether they gave enough information to the driver on when to slow down. The train’s recorders have revealed it was travelling at

179 kilometres (111 miles) per hour when it derailed on a track with a speed limit of 80 kph, just after the driver finished a telephone call with a conductor. Rail officials have said the track where the train crashed was not equipped with advanced braking systems that would slow the train down if the driver failed to do so. Adif and the state company that runs the trains, Renfe, have both denied any technical failings and said correct procedures were followed.

Madrid zoo is celebrating a new arrival. A giant panda has given birth to a healthy male, and the 1-day-old cub is already proving a handful, screaming his way through his first medical check- up. The new arrival is only the 10th specimen of the highly endangered animal in Europe.

The cub, the third for a giant panda named Hua Zui Ba, whose twins born in 2010 now live in China, weighed in at 7.4 ounces (210 grams) and was 6 inches (15 centimetres) long. “The team of specialists and veterinarians have confirmed it is a boy with a good set of lungs,” the zoo said in a statement. “The new giant panda cub ... has shown it has a lot of

character.” Visitors will have to wait to see Madrid’s latest attraction, the as yet un-named baby panda, will be kept away from sightseers for several months. Like Madrid’s newest cub, most pandas bred in captivity are conceived through artificial insemination. Reproduction is difficult, as females are only able to conceive for about two or three days in the spring. There are roughly 300 giant pandas in captivity throughout the world, and fewer than 1,600 living in the wild, in a few

mountain ranges in central China. Britain is also gripped with “baby fever” over the possible birth of a panda at Scotland’s Edinburgh Zoo, expected within weeks. Only 10 giant pandas now live in captivity in Europe, including in Edinburgh and Beauval in France. Vienna Zoo’s giant panda female gave birth to a cub in mid-August. In the United States, pandas were recently born at zoos in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., while Taipei’s zoo has had a recent panda arrival as well.

Calls To Link Pensions To Life Expectancy

Spain’s employment minister Fatima Banez is pushing for state pension reforms that would link payments to life expectancy and to economic cycles, without raising the retirement age.

The proposals, which the government presented to unions on Monday, would include de-linking pensions from inflation as of next year, tying them instead to a more complex formula that also takes into account the system’s revenue. Spain is under pressure

from Brussels to reorganise its pensions system by the end of 2013, in an effort to help balance the economy, as soaring unemployment puts an unprecedented strain on social security funds. Despite recent changes restricting early retirement, an aging population and a low birth rate have also added to the strain and the ruling People’s Party (PP) is now calling for broader changes to make the pensions system more sustainable. Banez told a news conference that the government was proposing the introduction of a minimal annual rise

The media personality, journalist and comedian mixed political satire programmes with serious big name interviews - the most notable being with Richard Nixon which provided the inspiration for an Oscar-nominated Hollywood movie. During a career that spanned 50 years, he presented The Frost Report, Breakfast With Frost and That Was The Week That Was. He died on the Queen Elizabeth cruise ship, where he was scheduled to give a speech. A family statement said: “His family are devastated and ask for privacy at this difficult time. A family funeral will be held in the near future and details of a memorial service will be announced in due course.” Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: “My heart goes out to David Frost’s family. He could be - and certainly was with me - both a friend and a fearsome interviewer.” He added: “Sir David was an extraordinary man - with charm, wit, talent, intelligence and warmth in equal measure. He made a huge impact on television and politics. The Nixon interviews were among the great broadcast moments - but there were many other brilliant interviews.” Paying tribute to the icon, television personality Esther Rantzen said: “I think fellow interviewers have always been awestruck by David Frost’s capacity to elicit memorable, sometimes historically significant quotes from all the movers and shakers or our time - presidents, prime ministers, A list celebrities but for all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him socially, it is his kindness, generosity, loyalty and humour that we will miss so much.

The government also wants a ceiling that would prevent pensions rising more than 0.25% above inflation. “The (proposal) guarantees dignified pensions for the pensioners of today but also to the pensioners of tomorrow,” Banez said. She added that pension plans would also be linked to life expectancy as of 2019. In line with current demographic trends, that will likely mean that workers retiring then

In fact, it was always his greeting: ‘a joy to meet you’ and it was always a joy to meet him.” Stephen Fry tweeted: “Oh heavens, David Frost dead? No!! I only spoke to him on Friday and he sounded so well. Excited about a house move, full of plans … how sad.” Born on April 7, 1939, the son of a Methodist preacher, at Tenterden, Kent, he was educated at Gillingham Grammar School, Wellingborough Grammar School and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. At Cambridge he joined the renowned revue society Footlights and got his first experience doing television for the regional station in Norwich with a programme called Town and Gown. His big break came when he co-created and hosted satirical show That Was The Week Was in the early 1960s. Another of his early programmes, The Frost Report, effectively launched John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett on their subsequent glittering careers. More recently, he had hosted Breakfast with Frost on Sunday mornings (1993-2005) and panel game show Through The Keyhole (1987-2008). He was currently working for Al Jazeera English and had recently interviewed the Chilean novelist Isabel Allende and F1 driver Lewis Hamilton. Sir David’s list of interviewees included virtually every US president and British prime minister during his working life. During his series of five interviews with Nixon, the notoriously slippery former president known as ‘Tricky Dicky’ dramatically admitted that he had “let down the country”.

Sir Cliff releases 100th album A T 72, most people would be thinking about taking things a little easier. not so Sir Cliff richard. The veteran singer has announced his landmark 100th album, The Fabulous rock ‘n’ roll Songbook which is due out in november.

Described as a tribute to the likes of Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Buddy Holly, the album was recorded at the Blackbird Studio and The Parlor in Nashville, Tennessee. The incredibly popular singer had his first hit in 1958 and released his debut album, Cliff, in April 1959 and included tracks such as Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On and That’ll Be The Day. Since then, he has since released 46 studio albums, seven soundtracks, 35 compilations and 11 live albums. Sir Cliff said of the recording the album: ‘It was like being back in the 50s with The

Shadows in Studio 2 at Abbey Road - only it wasn’t The Shadows, and it wasn’t Studio 2 and it wasn’t the 50s.’ He added: ‘This was my chance to pay tribute not only to, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest advances in musical history, but also

the artists who took rock ‘n’ roll to the top of the charts world-wide ‘As with all great art forms, rock ‘n’ roll did not stand still and there have been some phenomenal changes, bringing it to where we are now. All I know is that ‘in the begin-

ning’ what kicked the whole thing off was the fabulous rock ‘n’ roll songbook.’ ‘That whole period was new and unbelievably exciting, and to think that I was there!! Saving up my pocket money for weeks so that I could buy Elvis’s first album - borrowing someone else’s collection of Little Richard (my name in part, was a tribute to him) and skipping school so as to get seats to see Bill Haley play live.’ In 2011, Sir Cliff slammed a radio station for banning his hits - and accused programme bosses of ‘lying to the public’ by erasing him from history. The veteran star has complained that the lack of support he gets from radio stations is stopping fans from discovering his new music: ‘Singers can’t tell stations what to play, but when you’re left out for no apparent reason, there’s a frustration,’ he has said. The singer’s Christmas single Millennium Prayer, a sung version of The Lord’s Prayer,both managed to top the charts in 1999 despite scant airplay. He has previously insisted that he will never retire, saying: ‘I could do something every five years and no-one would stop me doing that, but I have too much fun. As long as I don’t have to go on stage with a Zimmer frame, I’ll keep going.’

Colourful Apple Buck House Hosts 1st Off icial 5S Launch?

Apple is expected to launch its latest iPhone over the next few days, after invites to an event at its American HQ were sent out. Speculation is rife that the technology giant will unveil the iPhone 5S at an event in Cupertino, California on September 10th.

The emailed invitation had a picture of the Apple logo surrounded by multi-coloured polka dots and the sentence: “This should brighten everyone’s day.” It is expected that the latest generation of the smartphone would come in colours others than the trademark

black and white. The 5S will feature a fingerprint sensor for enhanced security along with a 12 or 13-megapixel camera, according to reports. But there is also speculation that a second, cheaper version of the iPhone will be unveiled this year called the iPhone 5C, and it could be this device that is available in a range of colours. Analysts say the company needs a cheaper phone to encourage growth in markets like China and India, and to counter Samsung’s wide range of devices at varying prices. Apple previously announced it is introducing a new operating system - iOS7 - described by chief executive Tim Cook as “the biggest change to iOS since the intro-

duction of the iPhone”. The new software has been designed to make the iPhone appear bigger, with features crafted to take advantage of the entire screen. Text is said to appear sharper, while a “control centre” on the phone allows users to adjust settings with just one swipe from the bottom of the screen. This gives instant access to functions such as airplane mode, wi-fi, Bluetooth or Do Not Disturb, and enables users to quickly pause or play a song, jump to the next track and stream music. A “notification centre” will now be available from the “lock” screen so users can view updates with a simple swipe.

Fake Birthday Kidnap Causes Panic Two British women were arrested in Portugal after a stunt to celebrate their 40th birthday went wrong.

The pair were involved in a fake kidnapping and had been abducted at Restauradores Square in Lisbon city centre, sparking a volley of 999 calls from worried members of the public and police raced into action, sending several emergency response vehicles. Terrified callers said they had seen masked men forcing two women into a white van before speeding off. However, when police stopped the vehicle they discovered the pair were part of an elaborate kidnap attempt taking place on holi-

day with their friends. Officers said the two Britons claimed they knew nothing about the stunt and told them it was organised by some of the friends they travelled to Portugal with to celebrate turning 40. A spokesman for Lisbon’s PSP police force, which made the arrests, said in a statement: “Two English women decided to organise a holiday to Lisbon with nine female friends to celebrate their 40th birthdays. They contacted a Portuguese event’s organiser to hire their services. It was agreed that the firm would arrange for a fake kidnap to be staged in a public street. “Around 3.30pm on Sunday a white van stopped by Restauradores Square and two men, one of whom was

wearing a mask, got out and grabbed the two tourists and forced them into the vehicle. A third man at the wheel of the van then sped off. The fake kidnap was backed by the firm’s owner who filmed the whole thing. The incident provoked social alarm and terrified several passers-by at the scene.” The women were arrested along with four Portuguese nationals, the female owner of the unnamed company which organised the fevent and three men. None of the six detainees have been named but are aged between 27 and 40. The two British women were been freed without charge after they appeared at a private court hearing in the capital on suspicion of

Football Match P

rince William is to host the first ever official football match at Buckingham Palace as part of The Football Association’s 150th anniversary celebrations. The Duke of Cambridge, president of The FA, helped arrange the game between two of England’s oldest amateur clubs in the gardens of the famous landmark.

Civil Service FC and Polytechnic FC, both based in Chiswick, west London, are preparing to go head to head in the unique Southern Amateur League fixture at the palace on Monday October 7. The Queen has given her permission for the match and Wembley grounds man Tony Stones has been instructed to work with the royal household gardeners to create a pitch in the 40 acre garden. As well as hosting the event, William will present medals to 150 grassroots volunteers in recognition of their dedication to the sport. The match is being held in tribute to their commitment. The recipients were chosen for their outstanding contribution to football including helping to develop the women’s game, providing opportunities for disabled players and refereeing. William praised the 400,000 volunteers every year who help run local matches. The Duke said: ‘In our 150th year, it is hugely important for The FA to honour the efforts of

criminal simulation, a crime which carries a maximum one-year prison sentence.

the many thousands of volunteers who week in, week out, help to provide the opportunity for millions more people to enjoy football at grassroots level. Inviting 150 of these volunteers to Buckingham Palace provides a fitting way for The FA to pay tribute and give thanks.’ Greg Dyke, chairman of The FA, said: ‘These volunteers are the heartbeat of football. Without them, the game simply wouldn’t function at a grassroots level and it is only right that The FA honours their tireless and selfless work. We are delighted that, in his role as president of The FA, HRH The Duke of Cambridge has given his support to this initiative - even going as far as arranging for the first ever game of football to be played at Buckingham Palace in honour of our grassroots heroes.’ Civil Service FC is the sole surviving club from the 11 clubs who founded The FA in the Freemasons’ Tavern, Great Queen Street in London in 1863 and later drafted the 13 original laws of association football. Polytechnic FC was formed in 1875.

A spokesman for the court said: “No action will be taken against any of the partici-

pants. We understand they were playing a game. The case has been archived.”

“Greatest White First Ever £20 Diamond” Up Coin Released For Auction A 118-carat stone billed as the world’s “greatest white diamond” has gone on display at a New York auction house.

The oval gem, as yet un-mounted, was mined and cut two years ago in Africa. The gem is being showcased at Sotheby’s Manhattan headquarters and has a pre-sale estimate of between $28m (£18m) and $35m (£22m). In terms of size, quality, polish and colour, deputy chairman of Sotheby’s Asia and international diamond expert, Quek Chin Yeow said: This is the greatest white diamond we’ve ever had the privilege to sell.” The stone was discovered in 2011 as a 299-carat rough diamond in a southern African country the name of which Sotheby’s has declined to disclose. Auction house officials have also said the owner wishes to remain

anonymous. Carefully and meticulously worked over a period of months, the resulting 118-carat stone is one of a number of jewels to be auctioned in Hong Kong on October 7. Others include a flawless, round, 7.6-carat blue diamond, worth an estimated $19m (£12m). It is the largest, most significant such diamond graded by the Gemological Institute of America. The current record for any white diamond is $26.7m (£17.1m). That pear-shaped stone was over 101 carats and was sold at Christie’s in Geneva last year. Three other white diamonds over 100 carats were auctioned by Sotheby’s in 1990, 1993 and 1995.

Ryanair Slashes Air Fares

Ryanair has announced it will launch ‘aggressive’ fare promotions this winter after harsh competition and weak bookings forced it to admit today that profits this year will disappoint investors.

In a conference call chief executive Michael O’Leary said that Ryanair will offer its £14.99 one way fare on up to 1,000 routes during September, October and November, an increase on 600 routes over the summer. ‘We are going to respond to this by being out there first and being aggressive in fare response,’ he said. Mr O’Leary added that profits had also suffered from the fall in the value of sterling; Ryanair makes about a quarter of its revenue in

Britain. ‘We have been somewhat surprised by the weak bookings,’ Mr O’Leary admitted. ‘August was fine... but there’s a general underlying weakness out there, but the way to respond to that is by being aggressive on pricing.’ Ryanair said it would cut its winter flights schedule and roll out lower fares and new promotions across Europe but particularly in the UK and Scandinavia. The Dublin-based firm reduced its annual traffic forecast by 500,000 to 81million and lower its profits expectations to the bottom end of its previous forecast between 570million Euros (£483million) and 600million Euros (£508million). Most analysts had expected the airline to comfortably beat that. Europe’s biggest budget

airline blamed the austerity drive across Europe for a ‘perceptible dip’ in yields - the average revenue per mile per passenger - for the autumn and also cited increased competition in Britain, Scandinavia, Spain and Ireland. Analysts at stockbrokers Goodbody said Norwegian, Aer Lingus and IAG subsidiaries Iberia and Vueling had all stepped up competition to Ryanair. Ryanair’s statement had a knock-on effect across the airline and travel sector in London. Shares in rival easyJet fell by 7 per cent, while Thomson Holidays owner TUI Travel and British Airways parent firm International Airlines Group were both 4 per cent lower. Today’s warning comes a month after chief executive Michael O’Leary said July’s heatwave in northern Europe

The Royal Mint has released the first ever £20 coin. The Benedetto Pistrucci-designed silver coin will carry the classic design of St George and the Dragon. The design, normally associated with the gold sovereign, was used more recently to commemorate the birth of Prince George on a silver £5 crown. It is the first time the Royal Mint has produced a £20 coin, and only 250,000 have been made, and following the popularity of the £5 coin, which sold out in just five days, the new £20 coin is expected to sell out quickly to UK residents only via the Royal Mint website. Shane Bissett, director of commemorative

coins at the Royal Mint, said: ‘The Royal Mint has celebrated moments of national and cultural significance for over 1,000 years and, as a result; our commemorative coins are deemed very collectible. It is a beautiful work of art and at a price more people can afford. ‘We hope this new £20 coin will spark a future love of coin collecting amongst young and old alike and a greater number of people get to appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into producing all of our nation’s coins.’ The Pistrucci-designed coin will be the first in a series of £20 denomination coins which will be issued periodically by the Royal Mint to celebrate significant events and figures from British culture in the coming years.

On three occasions he has tried to take over his Irish rival, but each time his attempts have been knocked back on European competition fears. Now Britain’s Competition

Commission has said Ryanair will have to sell down its stake to just 5%. Ryanair will also be barred from trying to get a representative on to the Aer Lingus board and from buying any more shares.

“ S M A r T WAT C h ” that can make calls, receive emails and take photographs has been launched by Samsung. The galaxy gear was unveiled at a Samsung Unpacked event in Berlin. Features include speakers and microphones, meaning users speak into and hear from the watch instead of a handset. Pranav Mistry, head of Think Tank Team at Samsung Research America, demonstrated the device during a presentation at the Berlin IFA: “This is an exciting time for all of us at Samsung,” he said. “We have created something incredible. You don’t need to get your phone out anymore. Gear takes the entirety of your digital world and places it right where you can see.” Mr Mistry said Samsung was inspired by a traditional wristwatch with a simple face: “It is stainless steel but light in weight,” he said. “The strap is packed with technology of the next decade.” He said the watch, which is available in six colours, is comfortable enough to be worn all day. It is switched on with a swipe, which unlocks features including apps, contacts, a camera and email. Incoming messages, calls, alerts and emails all show up on the smartwatch and can be accessed on the wrist. “You don’t need to talk to the air like a bluetooth handset or get

www.tenerife-weekly.com A 5-year-old Chinese boy has become the youngest person to fly a light airplane single-handed, according to his over-achieving father.

He Yide, nicknamed Duoduo, completed the 35-minute flight at Beijing Wildlife Park in China on Saturday. His father He Liesheng, who calls himself an ‘Eagle Dad’ made headlines with his son last year when pictures were published of the boy being forced to do push-ups in the snow in New York. He apparently paid 30,000 yuan (£3,100) for private flying lessons for his son and now says he will contact the Guinness Book of Records about the achievement. According to China’s People Day, there was another pilot in the aircraft with Duoduo but only for supervision. The super-strict father wrote on Weibo, China’s equivalent of Twitter: ‘His first flight was very successful and he wasn’t scared at all.’

5-Year-Old Flies Solo

He senior, from Nanjing in eastern China, is famous in his home country for the punishing training regime he puts his son through. When the video showed the small boy shivering in a snowy New York appeared on YouTube, outraged viewers demanded that Duoduo be taken into care. His mother could also be heard in the footage, encouraging the boy to carry on as he begged for a hug. Mr Liesheng also trains his son to enable him to compete against much older children in sailing competitions. Eagle Dad has previously said that because his son was born several months premature he had to make him undergo tough tests of physical and mental endurance to build up his strength: ‘Only by placing him in a situation with strong winds and waves can he show his potential.’ Last year, He and his two

children had to be rescued from Mount Fuji in Japan after the father ignored weather warnings. Unbelievably he had brought only a chocolate bar and a cup of water as rations, thinking there would be shops en route. He admitted that he was as terrified as his children on some stretches of the climb, when the trio were forced to scale 70-degree slopes. The unprepared father had not brought waterproof clothing, so a sudden downpour soaked them to the skin, and most shelters on the mountain were boarded up. As temperatures dipped to almost zero and the air became thinner, his children began crying and Duoduo, was nearly collapsing with altitude sickness. Park rangers eventually had to be called and gave the family warm clothes and medical treatment.

Bush Tracker Ray Mears Hunted Raoul Moat

Survival expert Ray Mears has ended a two-year silence to tell of his role in the hunt for killer Raoul Moat. Mr Mears, was speaking ahead of the publication of his autobiography later this month.

The bush tracker and TV presenter told how he joined a Tornado fighter jet and scores of armed police officers in the £1 million-plus search for the former doorman. They were called in after Moat and his accomplices hid in woodland surrounding Rothbury, Northumberland, in July 2010. Mr Mears, 49, contacted a police search adviser he had met at a lecture years earlier to offer his skills, after police discovered an abandoned campsite on the outskirts of Rothbury, he was called in to help. In an interview with the Gloucestershire Echo, the bush-craft expert said that at one point he was within 20ft of the gunman after eight hours of moving stealthily through dense forest. He described the scene when he arrived in Rothbury as like something “out of a Hollywood film set” with bright lights, police snipers, helicopters circling overhead and the Tornado making reconnaissance sorties. He told the newspaper: “It was all a bit surreal. This is the first time I’ve talked about it and it’s because I feel there has been sufficient water under the bridge. It was such a unique set of circumstances. I have experience of tracking for 40 years. I can’t imagine there would be that many people in the country who would have been in a position to help the police find someone who had gone into hiding who needed to be found. It was a real-life hunt; within my skill set but outside of my comfort zone.” Mr Mears told the newspaper that police disclosed afterwards that Moat’s emergence

from hiding was a direct result of his presence with armed officers. Moat went on the run after shooting Chris Brown, 29, who had started a relationship with his ex-girlfriend Samantha Stobbart. Moat killed Mr Brown and seriously injured Ms Stobbart in the shooting in Birtley, Gateshead, two days after he was released from prison. The following day the 37-year-old bodybuilder shot unarmed PC David Rathband in the face, leaving him blind. The officer was found hanged at his home in Blyth, Northumberland, in February last year. The huge search for Moat, involving officers from 18 forces, was one of the biggest police operations seen in the UK. The manhunt gripped the nation as newspapers, television and radio stations concentrated on the search, bringing close scrutiny of the police’s actions. The 17-stone steroid addict was finally cornered at the edge of the River Coquet on the evening of July 9. Following a five-hour standoff with armed police the father-of-three shot himself in the head at the moment officers used Tasers to try to disable him. He was later declared dead at hospital.

Made It – Swimmer Crosses Florida Straits

Diana Nyad, 64, has become the first person to swim the lethal Florida Straits without a shark cage, flippers or a wetsuit. She emerged with her lips and tongue swollen, and looking dazed and sunburned from three days in the water. The US endurance swimmer fulfilled her dream when she reached land on a Florida beach in what was her fifth attempt to swim the 110 miles from Cuba to Florida. Wearing a silicone mask and rubber socks to protect her from jellyfish stings, Ms Nyad was welcomed by cheering supporters as she approached Key West after the gruelling swim. Her epic journey began on Saturday morning when she jumped from the seawall of the Hemingway Marina into the warm waters off Havana. She rested only occasionally for food and drink. According to her support team she became very cold during her last night so they decided not to stop her in the hope that continuing to swim would keep her warm. She had attempted to swim the Strait on three previous occasions, in 2011 and 2012 and once in 1978. Her last attempt ended amid boat trouble, storms and jellyfish stings that left her face puffy and swollen. This time she wore a full-body suit, gloves, booties and a mask at night, when

jellyfish rise to the surface. Before the swim, she said the kit would slow her down, but would nevertheless be effective. Her accompanying support team used equipment that generated an electrical field around her to keep any hungry sharks away. Another boat dragged a line in front of her to ensure she swam on course. Doctors travelling with Ms Nyad were worried about her slurred speech and her breathing, but they did not intervene, according to her website. Australian Susie Maroney successfully swam the Strait in 1997 with a shark cage, which besides protection from the predators, has a drafting effect that helps pull a swimmer along. In 2012, Australian Penny Palfrey swam 79 miles

toward Florida without a cage before strong currents forced her to abandon the attempt. This June, her countrywoman Chloe McCardel swam for 11 hours and 14 miles before she had to stop due to jellyfish stings. In 1978, Walter Poenisch, an Ohio baker, claimed to have made the swim using flippers and a snorkel. But his claim could not be verified. Nyad first came to national attention in 1975 when she swam the 28 miles around the island of Manhattan in under eight hours. In 1979 she swam the 102 miles from North Bimini, Bahamas, to Juno Beach, Florida, in 27.5 hours. She is also an author of three books, a motivational speaker and has been a reporter and commentator for NPR.

Crimestoppers Launches appeal for the final ten operation Captura fugitives Wanted in Spain

he final countdown begins in Spain for UK crime-fighting charity Crimestoppers and the Serious organised Crime Agency (SoCA); as only ten most wanted individuals remain on their operation Captura list following the arrest of the 53rd target.

Operation Captura is the successful multi-agency campaign which identifies individuals on the run in Spain who are wanted by UK law enforcement agencies for serious crimes committed in the UK. With 53 of the 65 individuals included in the campaigns since their launch in October 2006 now arrested, and two having had to be removed from the list, the hunt is on for the final ten remaining fugitives who include some of the UK’s most

dangerous individuals. Many of those arrested are now serving lengthy prison sentences for their crimes, which range from drug trafficking to sex crimes to murder. The latest arrest was that of Darren Kevin O’Flaherty, who was detained in North Wales on 6 August whilst celebrating his birthday in a Chinese restaurant. The 39-year-old was wanted for kidnap and robbery offences for his involvement in an HGV driver being held at knifepoint while his lorry was driven from North Yorkshire to Liverpool. Once the £400,000 worth of cargo was unloaded and the driver released after several hours, the vehicle was set alight. O’Flaherty was also wanted over the 2010 murder of Dublin holidaymaker John O’Neill in Spain. Other recent high profile arrests include that of Mark Lilley, one of Britain’s most wanted fugitives,

found hiding in a panic room when officers raided a luxury villa in Malaga on 6 July. On 8 July drug dealer Eriberto Jimenez Melo was returned to the UK to serve a long prison sentence, having been arrested in Italy following an operation carried out by officers of the Udine and Parma Carabinieri. The 50th Operation Captura arrest took place in May when Andrew Moran was arrested in Spain for an aggravated robbery that took place eight years ago. Awareness of the last ten fugitives is being highlighted across Spain in areas with a large British expatriate community such as Malaga and Alicante, which are potential hideouts for fugitives on the run from British law enforcement. Roger Critchell, Director of Operations at Crimestoppers, said: “With the arrest of O’Flaherty

we are down to the final ten remaining fugitives left on the run from our Operation Captura campaign. The success of these appeals means that they won’t be out there for long. “The recent arrests we have seen have proven again that the cooperation between UK and Spanish law enforcement, SOCA and the public is essential in this fight against crime. It is thanks to them that we only have ten criminals left on this list. “If you call us, no-one will ever know you who you are and you will not go to court. Contact us on 0800 555 111 or through our website www. crimestoppers-uk.org.” Dave Allen, Head of the Fugitives Unit at SOCA, said: “The exceptional level of collaboration between Spanish and UK law enforcement authorities has resulted in 17 fugitives being arrested since April, including a number of Operation Captura targets, which is a remarkable result. The final ten on our list, who may well still be hiding out in Spain, should also expect to be brought before the UK courts. “SOCA will soon become part of the new National Crime Agency (NCA), and will continue to work with the Spanish authorities to capture criminals fleeing justice.” Crimestoppers is asking the public to join the fight against crime and to view the appeals on the most wanted section of Crimestoppers’ website, then give information about anything they know about the individuals featured. Calls to the Spanish telephone number 900 555 111 are answered in the UK by Crimestoppers’ call agents and a translation service is available upon request. People can also pass on information anonymously via the online Giving Information form on Crimestoppers’ website www.crimestoppers-uk. org. Those in the UK should call 0800 555 111 or visit the website.

Live on mars application Closes

The application process to take part in a realitystyle show to become one of the first people to land and live on Mars and never return home closed on Saturday. More than 165,000 ‘wannabe astronauts’ applied for four initial places to colonise the red planet despite it only being a oneway ticket.

Melissa Ede, 52, a transsexual taxi-driver from Hull, is one of 7,000 applicants from the UK hoping to be picked: “The attraction’s got to be going down in history, being remembered. Ever since a little child I’ve wanted to do something where I was going to make my mark on this Earth, this is the way of doing it. “My parents always used to put me down. They always said I’m on cloud cuckoo-land and I live on a different planet. Well I could say actually, I do. On Earth I feel I’ve done enough now, I’ve completed all my challenges that I had in life. I’ll be able to wave down at everybody.” Applicants from the UK, China, Brazil, India and Russia have paid on average £17 to cover the administration costs of the selection process for the Mars One project - the brainchild of Big Brother co-creator Paul Römer. By 2015, the selected astronauts

will start their training, using a simulation of conditions on the planet where they’ll learn to repair their equipment, grow food and deal with long periods of isolation. Their home on Mars will be operational by 2021. Their living pods will provide them with oxygen, water and electricity. The first crew will set off for Mars a year later on a journey that will take between seven to eight months. Dr Michael Martin-Smith, head of the Hull and East Riding Astronomical Society, said: “There will be rugged conditions with an inflatable

habitat. Every rocket that lands with a crew will bring an empty stage, it won’t be dead metal, it will be useful. They can extract radiation protection which is another big issue-are we going to get fried living there? Yes, if we live out there in a swimsuit on the surface, but if you build a nice igloo-type structure using Martian soil radiation protection can be created.” The estimated £4bn cost of the mission will be met by television rights and other kinds of media sponsorship and spin-offs. However, Dr Adam Baker, an ex-

pert of space engineering at Kingston University, branded the project “a big publicity stunt”. He said: “They’re doing very well to get the public fired up about going and some time in next decade or two we might see a commercial model ... but in the current form it’s unlikely to succeed. There are a number of issues with Mars radiation. It doesn’t have the same level of atmosphere to protect you from things like solar flares, dust is a problem, how toxic it is to human life in the long run? We don’t know enough about that.” But, the biggest challenge could

be finding people who can cope with never returning home. Psychotherapist Lucy Beresford said: “The main thing the organisers will be looking for is emotional resilience. Are these individuals capable of functioning on a different planet without any access ever again to their loved ones, friends and family? What are the qualities of their attachment needs and are they selfsufficient? “The kind of people who might be attracted to this kind of expedition are adventure seekers, thrill seekers, people who want to have a life that’s very different to the norm, who find ordinary daily activity mundane, and they want a sense of adventure. They probably aren’t thinking ahead to the fact that they might not come back.”

Unlikely Popstars That Were Almost Doctor Who-Part 2

A couple of months back I wrote an article about the King of pop Michael Jackson, being considered for the role of Doctor Who. This week it was revealed that another famous pop star was almost asked to play the Timelord , my old mate Robbie Williams!!

Back in 2003, two years before Russell T. Davies’s TV reboot with Christopher Eccleston as The Doctor, producers were looking for someone to voice the character in an online animated episode called “Scream of the Shalka”, and the Take That member was given very serious consideration; “We got word that Robbie Williams was interested in playing The Doctor. We all sat around wondering, ‘Is this a good idea? Is this a crazy idea?’” said producer Muirinn Lane Kelly. Producer James Goss said: “Think about it, if you really wanted to bring Doctor Who to a whole new audience, it would have been the most popular, talked-about thing the BBC website ever did.” Unfortunately, due to a schedule clash it never happened and the part was given to the more traditionally “Whoish” Richard E. Grant of “Withnail and I” fame......I always thought the Robster should be in a series where he plays an Orthodox Jewish priest who solves murders involving supernatural entities from Hebrew mythology-imagine it.... “Rabbi Williams” (sorry).

Timelord of the Rings?

Also in Doctor Who related news, Peter Jackson, the Oscar winning director of “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” has revealed he would love to direct an episode of the BBC series-especially if they came up with a storyline that could take the Doctor to his native New Zealand!!

The 20 year old singer joined the 16 years her senior Robin Thicke to duet on his monster summer hit “Blurred Lines” and frankly the married 36-year-old father of one looked as if he’d rather be anywhere else- even pre-Blurred lines obscurity, than have Hannah Montana waggling her tongue like an infected dog in the late stages of distemper whilst grinding against him like an industrial sander!! Wearing a flesh coloured latex bikini about 3 sizes too small, and carrying the kind of oversized foam fingers normally seen at baseball games (when did they become sexy? Answer?

They didn’t!) she danced around him like a demented stripper, simulated sex acts with aforementioned foam finger and performed her trademark “twerking” move-basically gyrating provocatively whilst waggling her tongue-seriously has she no muscles in that thing? The performance has been branded “really, really disturbing”, “messed up”, and has been compared to “what it must be like to watch Japanese porn” and had the Parent’s Television Council labelling the performance as “sexual exploitation”!! To give her some credit, it certainly was the most talked

about part of the show, although hardly in a positive way but hey, there’s no such thing as “bad” publicity right? I’ve managed to view the performance (it’s quite hard to find online, many of the YouTube videos have been removed) and one thing that I’m surprised no one seems to have mentioned is she sounds horrendous!! For someone who’s been singing for half her life she doesn’t seem to realise it’s difficult to sing well when you’re more concerned with exposing your tongue so frequently even Gene Simmons from “K.I.S.S” is saying “damn girl put that thing away!”

Latest Hollywood casting news

Last week the Tenerife Weekly reported that “Fast and Furious 6” filmed partly here in Tenerife-was Universal Studios 2nd biggest earner after the gargantuan “Jurassic Park”. So “F&F7” was always gonna be inevitable and the latest name being bandied around to join the core cast is Hollywood legend Kurt Russell. No word on what part he would play but the part was initially offered to Denzel Washington.

The lifelong fan of the show even cast 7th Doctor Sylvester Mcoy as wizard Radaghast in “The Hobbit” and has reportedly said his fee wouldn’t be too much...all he wants is his very own Dalek!!

Tel: 922 713 858

What a Twerk!!

Former Disney star, daughter of Achy Breaky Heart singer Billy Ray and ex Hannah Montana-Miley Cyrus seems determined to shed her squeaky clean, girl next door image-well she did that and much more at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards with a performance that left parents outraged, celebrity audience members aghast and most of Twitter ridiculing her “desperate” performance.

In the 1930s, an elderly Tonto tells a young boy the tale of John Reid, the Lone Ranger. An idealistic lawyer, he rides with his brother and fellow Texas Rangers in pursuit of the notorious Butch Cavendish. Ambushed by the outlaw and left for dead, John Reid is rescued by the renegade Comanche, Tonto.

Ultron Gets A Voice

“Avengers-Age of Ultron” has got its titular villain in the guise of Downey J.R’s old pal James Spader. In comic lore Ultron is “an artificial intelligence with a heavy duty God complex” created by Genius scientist Hank Pym AKA Avengers member Ant-Man, writer/director Joss Whedon says; “think of him as a droid with one hell of a set of daddy issues”. With a movie adaptation of

Ant-Man expected after the Avengers sequel and no plans for the character to appear in Avengers 2-this has led to speculation that the origin

story may be re-written -possibly with Tony Stark/Iron Man being the one who creates the self-aware, self-teaching machine.

Developers of 20 Fenchurch Street, a 37-storey skyscraper is still under construction and due to be completed next year, is better known as the “Walkie-Talkie” because of its distinctive shape, are investigating reports of the damaging glare, and a number of nearby car parking spaces have been closed, say reports. Businessman Martin Lindsay said he was distraught when he returned to find his luxury Jaguar XJ saloon with warped panels along one side. The wing mirror and badge had also melted from the heat of the reflected sunlight, he claimed. “They’re going to have to think of some-

thing. I’m gutted. How can they let this continue?” he told City AM newspaper. Another driver has also come forward to complain of damage to his Vauxhall Vivaro van. Eddie Cannon, a heating and air conditioning engineer, said: “The van looks a total mess every bit of plastic on the left hand side and everything on the dashboard has melted, including a bottle of Lucozade that looks like it has been baked.” In a joint statement, developers Land Securities and Canary Wharf, told the newspaper: “As a precautionary measure, the City of London has agreed to suspend three parking bays in the area which may be affected.”

Sharples in Session By John Sharples

Radio Legend

David Jacobs, the DJ and Television presenter died this week. He was a complete gentleman who I had the pleasure of working with back in the 1980`s. He had a calm and cool air about him and his command of the English language was immaculate.

David helped raise an awful lot of money for the “Stars organization for spastics” which is now known as the “Stars Foundation for Cerebral Palsy”. He would visit places all over the country to help to raise money for the charity. I was involved in a number of fundraisers with him and his patience with people was a pleasure to behold.

There were no airs and graces about the man. Although I was only in my early twenties and quite inexperienced in the entertainment business, he made me feel both comfortable and relaxed in his company. His career was incredible.

The iconic show “Jukebox Jury” was his big moment which ran from the late fifties into the late sixties. The velvet voiced presenter died at home with his family after a fairly short illness. His last radio show, at the age of 87, aired only a month ago.

You Can’t Park Here

I am a bit tired of listening to moaning

Brits who rattle on about the Spanish sys-

Strictly Not

I see that Strictly Come Dancing has pulled out all the stops this year. Its selection of famous celebrities is enough to excite absolutely nobody. I have only heard of four of these wonderful celebs so I will give it a miss.

The only thing I might tune in for is the fabu-

lous Bruce Forsyth who I think is one of the modern wonders of the world! Well, he was one of the ancients ones wasn’t he?

tem If they don’t like it here, maybe Westminster would be a good place for them to move to.

This week, double yellow lines have appeared between a parking bay and a taxi rank. The double yellow lines are NINE INCHES LONG. The council is claiming that it was a mistake by a contractor. The council accepts that the lines look absurd and intend to have them removed. Last year thirteen inch lines appeared on a road in Cambridge. It puts a whole new meaning into the words “On the spot fine”. You have to laugh don’t you?

Nothing In It

I bought a tin of Bachelors condensed low fat mushroom soup last week. I took a look at the ingredients to find that this “mushroom soup” contained ……. Wait for it! 8 per cent mushrooms. What a disgrace. How can mushroom soup only contain 8 per cent mushrooms? This prompted me to take a look at some other foods. I was amazed at what I found!

Fray Bentos chicken and mushroom pie contains 22 per cent chicken. Its biggest ingredient is WATER! 3.5 per cent of the mixture is

mushrooms. An Iceland minced beef and onion lattice slice contains 20 per cent beef. A Bernard Matthews turkey steak contains 38 per cent turkey. I couldn´t believe that there was so little meat in it. The next biggest ingredient in this shameful piece of “food” is 17 per cent water. I love pates, especially salmon pate. I bought a jar last week from Al Campo and was surprised to see that is only contained 20 per cent salmon. These are only a few products that I have in the house at the time of writing this piece. I think that we all need to take more notice of Barry´s cookery page and start making things from scratch. At least that way you will be sure that there are plenty of the main ingredients in what you eat.

Happy Anniversary

This next couple of months sees some big anniversaries worth celebrating or marking. Here are ten that will happen before the year is out!

1. Crete celebrates joining with Greece 100 years ago. Given the current state of affairs in Greece, this might be a very low key celebration with a small cake and one very tiny candle, lit with a piece of flint and a bit of granite. 2. Doctor Who celebrates 50 years on British Television.

That doesn’t include the long spell that it didn´t appear on TV at all. 3. 100 years ago in December the first crossword puzzle was published in the New York World newspaper. It was invented by British-born puzzle creator Arthur Wynne, who called it a Word-Cross Puzzle. 4. The Nissan motor company will have been making cars for 80 years. 5. 60 years ago in December Playboy magazine appeared and its centerfold was ….. Marilyn Monroe. 6. 50 years ago, Kenya and

Zimbabwe gained independence from the UK. 7. The Beatles released their first single in the United States 50 years ago in December. Their first UK single was released in 1962. 8. It will be 25 years since the dreadful Lockerbie disaster. 9. Ten years ago on the 1st December it became illegal to use a mobile phone whilst driving in the UK. 10. The BBC broadcast the chimes of Big Ben for the first time, 90 years ago, to welcome in the New Year a tradition that continues to this day.

outrageous excuses fishy flight attempt for Benefit fraud In a campaign against fraud, benefit officials have published some of the most outrageous excuses given to them by cheats.

One fraudster said she needed the money to pay for a TV in all of her children’s five bedrooms as they had attention deficit disorder. But it transpired that the woman, from West Lothian, Scotland, failed to mention that the children no longer lived with her. A claimant caught using a fake ID said her skin colour changed from black to white in a road accident that also changed her face shape. A man with two Pakistani passports was investigated for identity and benefit fraud. Both passports listed the same children. The man, who lived in Glasgow, told officials: ‘You have me confused with my evil twin brother. He lives in Pakistan and visits the UK regularly. My brother has children born on the same dates with the same names.’ A disability living allowance claimant was asked why she was claiming benefit to pay for a cleaner while working full time as a cleaner. ‘By the time I come in from work, I’m that knackered,’ she replied. The excuses, made during the

summer of 2013, have been publicised by the Department for Work and Pensions to encourage the public to shop fraudsters. High fraud areas will be hit with investigations, local advertising and letters to claimants. Other examples included a claimant in Liverpool who insisted she was not in a relationship with a man who stayed most nights in a week. When it was pointed out that they had had three children in five years, she said: ‘We’re all entitled to a one-night stand aren’t we?’ When told it would be impossible to have three children of different ages from one liaison, she answered: ‘Well, a three-night stand then.’ A claimant from Folkestone in Kent failed to declare her partner: ‘He doesn’t live here, he just comes every morning to collect his sandwiches,’ she said. And a man who was pretending to be single said: ‘It’s not my partner,

it’s my sister.’ When the investigator held up their wedding certificate, he replied: ‘It was a drunken mistake.’ A night watchman in Folkestone who was claiming out-of-work benefit explained: ‘I only claim benefit during the day, what I do at night is my own business,’ he said. David Freud, Minister for Welfare Reform, said: ‘Hard-working taxpayers lost an outrageous £1.2billion in benefit fraud last year. Universal Credit will close the gaps in the welfare state that cynical benefit cheats try to take advantage of. The new benefit will reduce fraud by £200million.’ Richard West, of the Department for Work and Pensions, said: ‘We are used to fraudsters telling tall tales to hide their crimes… Some keep on trying to lie as a way out – even to the point of ridiculousness. They usually just end up digging them themselves deeper into a hole.’

Question one: Between which two English cities did the Great Western Railway originally run?

Question Two: The title of which American novel has passed into the language to describe a “no-win” situation?

Question Three: Which American playwright wrote Death of a Salesman and was married to Marilyn Monroe? Question Four: Who said “Let them eat cake.” Question Five: Name the scale used for measuring wind speed. Question Six: Which river flows through The Grand Canyon in Arizona? Question Seven: The Suez Canal runs through which African country? Question eight: The word “ursine” describes which kind of animal? Question nine: In the Kipling stories, what animal was Rikki-Tikki-Tavi? Question Ten: Name the spiral molluscs often found as fossils. Question eleven: Prickly Pears are the fruit of what type of plant? Question Twelve: Which plant was believed to scream when pulled up?

A MAn’S attempt to smuggle live tropical fish into new Zealand in his trouser pockets failed miserably when water was spotted dripping from his clothes. The Vietnamese national was travelling from Australia to Auckland and airport officials suspected something was fishy because liquid was seeping from the bulging pockets of his trousers, the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) said.

The man initially said he was carrying water from the plane because he was thirsty. However when questioned further and searched, customs officers found seven fish hidden in plastic bags in his pockets. The passenger told them he was bringing the fish into the country for a friend. The fish were all unidentified species of cichlid. MPI spokesman Craig Hughes said the man will face charges under the Biosecurity Act, which carries maximum penalties of five years in jail or a £50,000 fine: “This appears to be a deliberate attempt to smuggle fish into the country without any

consideration of the biosecurity risk involved,” he said in a statement. “That’s something we take very seriously. The fish could have been carrying diseases or have the potential to displace native species.” Australia and New Zealand have some of the strictest rules in the world when it comes to transporting lives animals. Even if the species of fish was permitted to enter the country it would be required to go through strict quarantine procedures.

When Is Weed Not A Weed?

In Tenerife there are many common plants that would be considered weeds, and some of them would have the term “invasive” added to their description but what makes one plant a weed another not one? What does the word weed really means?

Castor Oil Plant Basically if we try to define what a weed is we end up with it being a plant, including shrubs and trees, which is growing where we don’t want it to be growing. It isn’t necessarily a bad plant but simply one that is thriving somewhere we want other plants to be, or possibly don’t want any vegetation at all, such as in a concrete path or a paved area. There are species that are common in Tenerife that are considered invasive weeds but are highly prized ornamental species in other parts of the world where they are sold and cultivated for display in gardens. The castor oil plant (Ricinus communis) is in this category. It has colonized the entire island here and often covers waste-ground to the exclusion of anything else but in a county like the UK it is grown as an exotic looking plant for the summer borders. I remember these planted out in the middle of floral displays in Victoria Park in Cardiff where I used to work. It is a very attractive plant with large palmate leaves and interesting, if not colourful, flowers. The

Canary Island Date Palm

castor oil plant also comes in varieties with bronze or reddish foliage. This plant is cultivated for castor oil which is used commercially, and it is planted in gardens in some parts of the world. At the same time it is the source of ricin, which is one of the most dangerous poisons known. So it is a plant with a good side and its uses as well as having a very bad side as a toxic plant and one that grows where it isn’t wanted. The Canary Island date palm (Phoenix canariensis) is another that comes into the weed category but

not here in Tenerife where it is actually a protected endemic species. This attractive and tall palm is often planted in parks, gardens and along roads. It grows wild still in some places. In many countries such as those in the Mediterranean it is a tree that is often grown because of how good it looks. In New Zealand though it has got out of control and has seeded itself so it is growing in habitats where native species should be. In New Zealand the Canary Island date palm has become an invasive weed.

Uses for the Dandelion

The dandelion, often considered a weed, is actually a very useful plant.

Its leaves, stems, flowers and roots are all edible. The above g r o u n d parts of the plant can be eaten in salads and the roots after drying and roasting can be ground down to make a coffee substitute. You can buy ready-made dandelion cof-

fee in health shops or you can try making your own. In herbal medicine the dandelion is regarded as a diuretic and as a treatment for rheumatism and gout as well as being recommended for liver problems. It is a source of vitamins and minerals. Pets like rabbits, guinea pigs and tortoises all enjoy eating dandelions too.

What is even more interesting is that it has become a host tree for the banyan tree known as the Moreton Bay fig (Ficus macrophylla). This tree starts life as an epiphyte that has germinated from a seed that was dropped into a crevice in the bark of another tree. In the course of time it grows all over its host and may even kill it. This makes it what is known as a “strangler fig”. The Moreton Bay fig is regarded as an invasive weed in some parts of the world but here in Tenerife it is anything but. There is a magnificent specimen in the Botanic Gardens in Puerto de la Cruz and another in the main square in Icod de los Vinos. Many people take photos of these trees and admire their huge size and great beauty. They would

possibly be shocked to know that these amazing plant specimens are thought of as invasive weeds elsewhere on the planet. Another invasive species that grows in the mountains of Tenerife is the gorse (Ulex europaeus). This prickly shrub has pretty yellow flowers and looks wonderful on a British mountainside or on moorland but here it is taking over ground where native plants should be growing. The gorse is a very tough and hardy plant and can withstand fires. It simply grows back from its underground roots. This gives it an advantage over other plants that are far tenderer. In recent years when the island has suffered the appalling forest fires the gorse has actually benefited and gained new ground. Near the ponds of Erjos it is even growing in the pathways. The century plant (Agave americana) is a massive succulent species that has huge spiky leaves and very tall flowering spikes. It really looks great growing on a volcanic hillside or in a ravine but it is another very invasive plant. Like the gorse it is tough enough to survive fires and colonise new ground rapidly. It is an invasive weed here but in a park or in gardens in the UK it would be a much prized ornamental plant. The humble dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a weed we all know but it also a nutritious edible plant. Weeds can be very useful!

Also known as the Bard of Ely, the Green Bard has a Green Beard, as can be seen in the photo. He is an expert on nature and loves to write about wildlife and conservation. He has a very wide knowledge of edible plants, foraging and herbs.

He was quoted as a “Weed expert” in The Ecologist. The Green Bard, though originally from Cardiff in Wales, is currently based in Tenerife where he has successfully reared many Monarch butterflies on plants grown on his apartment balcony. In May, 2012, at the English Library in Puerto de la Cruz he gave a talk on the Flora and Fauna of Tenerife to a full house and has been invited back to be a guest speaker again.

Tenerife Weekly - 6th September 2013 - 12th September 2013

Aquarius 20 January to 18 February

You seem to be getting a much-needed energy boost, especially if you’ve been feeling highly strung lately. Stay on track with your exercise and you’ll be able to do so much more. Relationships could get stirred up with Mars on the prowl in your relationship sector. It’s a good time to clear the air, but try to avoid ongoing conflicts. Joint finances may get a boost, too. If you’re considering a new plan of attack concerning debt, this is the week to deal with it.

ramsey/Beckham partnership Launches restaurant

Pisces 19 February to 20 March

You might be eager to get started on an exercise routine or perhaps a new diet. Take it easy, though. Don’t try to do too much at once, because you might lose heart and give up. Some expert advice or even the help of a personal trainer might ensure that you stay the course. The New Moon in Virgo brings a chance to take a relationship to a new level of commitment. As of September 5, sign contracts, close deals, or get started on a collaborative project.

Aries 21 March to 19 April

Physical problems may result if you try to do too much too quickly. With Mars currently in your leisure and romance zone, you may be burning the candle at both ends as you live life to the fullest. Meanwhile, the New Moon in Virgo could be just what you need to help ease into a new diet or exercise routine or initiate a series of treatments, such as massage or acupuncture. Later, a chance to entertain at home could be delightful.

Taurus 20 April to 20 May

If your love life has been rather trying lately, you may appreciate this week’s outlook as a chance to enjoy some romance. Make a date, take a break, or opt for a weekend getaway that may help to revive a flagging love life and encourage greater intimacy. The New Moon in Virgo on September 5 can be a great help for getting a love affair off the ground and excellent for starting creative projects. There’s plenty going on at home, too. Consider clearing out clutter and finishing DIY jobs.

gemini 21 May to 21 June

You may be feeling buoyant, perhaps because your financial outlook is currently boosted by Jupiter. You may have faith that you will always get what you need whether or not you have money. However, there’s also a lot going on in your home zone. A New Moon might encourage you to get a move on with domestic projects that have been languishing on the back burner. You might want to splurge on something new and a little bit special for your place.

Cancer 22 June to 22 July

Mars is currently moving through Leo and could stir up financial matters for some weeks. While you might come up with ideas to make extra cash, you may need to spend more, too. If you can save something as well, that would be helpful for a rainy day. You could also have more writing, studying, administrative tasks, and general communicating to do. Tap into the power of the New Moon if you’re starting an online business or course of study or perhaps writing your first book.

Leo 23 July to 22 August

You’re in top form and rarin’ to go as Mars spices up your plans for the future. Dust off those dreams that you’ve been meaning to act on and get moving. You might want to take a look at your financial situation, especially if you’re in danger of losing track. The Virgo New Moon can be a powerful aid in helping you make a new start. Consider creating a budget or perhaps opening a savings account. Whatever you spend on will likely be in very good taste!

Virgo 23 August to 22 September

Enjoy the Virgo New Moon this week - it may be the best one of the year for you. It’s a good time to write down your goals for the weeks and months ahead. You might be surprised by how much you achieve with this simple action and without too much effort. This can be a good time to express yourself and put your stamp of individuality on your plans. Your social life continues to thrive, so keep up the networking habit for future success.

Libra 23 September to 23 October

With your social life revving up for some fun times ahead, you may find that a lot of your plans come together because you know someone who can help. This is a great time to network and get the support you need, as well as enjoy life. Meanwhile, you’re in a natural phase in which you might want to slow down and reflect on life, learn to meditate, or go on a retreat. Balancing both extremes could be helpful this week.

Scorpio 24 October to 21 November

With Mars in Leo and your career zone for some weeks, this might be a good time to swallow your pride and do what you need to do in order to get ahead. Your managerial skills may show up, too. Keeping your cool in a crisis and steering it toward a successful outcome could be the making of you. The New Moon in your social zone can be a big help if you’re expanding your social horizons and moving in new circles.

Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December

A desire to get out of a rut and explore fresh options coincides with a need to find security on the job front, move ahead with career plans, or get started on an important goal. You may need to schedule in some time when you can enjoy a sense of freedom. Perhaps planning a vacation will help you feel better. At the same time, take advantage of Mercury in Virgo to get career advice and connect with key people.

Capricorn 22 december to 19 January

Relationships of all kinds seem to be working out in your favor. More people are willing to go out of their way for you without you asking for help. This week there’s a link between moving outside your comfort zone and collaborating with someone on a project that may be a bit of a challenge. On or after the September 5 Virgo New Moon might be a good time to make a start. The more willing you are to explore fresh ideas, the more fulfilled you may be.

The new London eatery owned by Chef gordon ramsey and david Beckham is one of the most anticipated food venues for the new autumn dining season.

Within half an hour of their website going live, David Beckham and Gordon Ramsay’s new restaurant had tables booked by 1,200 diners. Just four hours later that number had doubled, with limited spaces at the Union Street Café being available for Friday and Saturday nights until November. Speaking of their overwhelming opening success, Ramsay said: ‘In London right now we’re spoilt with the range and sheer number of phenomenal restaurants available, so it’s amazing to see the response today when bookings opened. We can’t wait to get the doors open and start welcoming guests.’ Although there are still a few weeks before David Beckham and Gordon Ramsay’s new business venture will be ready to be seen by the public, London’s foodies have been given a sneak peek at what to expect when the stars’ new restaurant Union Street Café opens in

September. This move into the restaurant business is the first of many new ventures David undoubtedly be taking now that his footballing career is over. As a partner in Gordon’s latest food establishment in Borough, just south of the Thames, he is no doubt one of the biggest draws for diners hoping to grab a table at their place. Artists’ impressions of the café show an attic feel with factory-style windows, exposed brick and furniture in neutral colours. Designed by Russell Sage, who also created the interior of Ramsay’s Bread Street Kitchen, the space has been influenced by the local area of SE1 and has been described as an ‘urban warehouse destination’ which will offer Mediterraneaninfluenced food with ingredients sourced from nearby Borough Market and directly from the continent. The food will be cooked in an open theatre-style kitchen so diners could watch the chefs in action. Situated on the corner of Union Street and Great Suffolk Street in Southwark, it’s a short walk from the famous market, London Bridge train station and The Shard, with neighbouring buildings

including the Union Jack pub and the Union Theatre. Announcing the venture back in February, Gordon enthused: ‘We’re really excited to be opening Union Street Café in September and it’s great that David wants to come on board and be partner. We’ve been working on the new site, which is near Borough Market, for the past couple of years and the amazing large warehouse space will offer quality Mediterranean-influenced food with a daily changing menu.’ He joked: ‘David Beckham is going to be my sous chef.’ The Union Street Café will be Gordon’s first new venture without his former business partner, Chris Hutchenson, father of his wife Tana, who he parted ways from several years ago. Although the building isn’t quite ready for furniture just yet, a photo on the eaterie’s Twitter feed showed the progress so far. A recent tweet said: ‘Cables, cables everywhere! Coming along nicely - not long to go now.’ Union Street Café will open at 47-51 Great Suffolk Street, London SE1 0BS on 16 September.

pugh´s pantry

By Barry Pugh

Berry Mad!

With summer rapidly coming to an end, I thought I would share a couple of seasonal recipes with you before the summer is over. Strawberries, Raspberries or any summer fruits are great in these recipes and you can adapt them by changing the fruit as you wish. What you can do with this Raspberry Brioche pudding is fantastic. In winter you can swap the raspberries for apple and cinnamon or fill it with chocolate even if you prefer!

Raspberry Brioche Pudding Dough:

235ml luke warm milk 150g granulated sugar 2 packets active dry yeast (1 1/2 tbsp.) 110g butter, softened 2 large eggs 1/4 tsp. salt 575g plain flour

Filling:

285g frozen raspberries (not thawed) 30g sugar 1 tsp. corn flour

Glaze:

90g icing sugar 40g butter, melted 1 ½ tbsps. double cream

Method:

Pour the milk into an electric mixer bowl, and add the sugar and yeast to it. Mix a little bit, then cover the bowl with a towel and let it sit for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is frothy. Next, with the mixer running, add in the softened butter, eggs and salt. Slowly begin adding in the flour until a soft dough forms (if the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour). Using the dough hook attachment, beat the dough on medium-high speed for about 10 minutes. Next, form the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover and let sit in a warm place for about 1 to 2 hours, until it doubles in size. Prepare a baking tin by lining it with oven proof paper. Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll it into a 10x24 inch rectangle. In a small bowl, mix together the frozen raspberries, sugar and corn flour. Spread that over the dough and tightly roll it up. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 16 equal sized slices (you will need to do this pretty fast, because the raspberries will start melting very quickly). Place the rolls into your prepared baking pans, cover them and let them rise in a warm place for another hour to two hours. Preheat your oven to 170°c, and bake the rolls for about 25 minutes until they are beautifully golden brown and the juices are bubbling. Let cool. Next, prepare your glaze by whisking together the icing sugar, butter and heavy cream in a small bowl. Once the rolls have cooled a little, drizzle the glaze over the top. Serve warm with lashings of pouring cream…

Strawberry Banana Ice Pops Ingredients:

200g of strawberries 2 cartons of yoghurt (I use natural but you can use any flavour you wish) 2 Tablespoons honey, maple syrup or golden syrup ½ banana

Method: Blend the strawberries and 1 Tablespoon of syrup in a blender or food processor. In a small bowl, stir the yoghurt with 1 Tablespoon of the strawberry puree and 1 Tablespoon of syrup. Fill ice pop moulds with strawberry puree and yogurt (alternating to make layers) and slices of bananas and strawberries. Insert sticks and freeze for 4 hours or until frozen. Run under hot water to release. Simply healthy, delicious and part of your 5 a day!

motoring neWS

By lingy

Queen’s daimler auctioned

The 2001 Super V8 LWB limousine owned, and driven, by her Majesty for three years until 2004, has been sold at auction for £45,000 to an unknown buyer. It has a special space for a handbag and had “one careful lady owner”, and was sold by auction house historics at Brooklands in Surrey who estimated it value at only £30,000.

Sporting a British Racing Green livery, the car was tested over 2,500 predelivery miles before being handed over to the Queen.

A further 11,000 miles were covered while the car was with the Queen before the vehicle was returned in 2004 to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, with whom it is still registered. The car was offered with all its specifications, including its original tyres, and with a mileage of 15,242. One feature is a factoryadapted centre armrest that has a sliding holder specifically designed for the Queen’s handbag. The car’s ashtray was crafted to hold the security lighting controls, which remain fully functioning. This includes a set of blue flashing strobes occupying the front fog lamp inserts, alternate flashing headlamps and alternate

flashing rear lights. A further feature is a pair of neon blue lights by the rear view mirror, which were used to identify the vehicle in which the Queen was travelling when approaching her destination. In the vehicle’s large boot, the fittings can still be found for direct contact to the Home Office and Downing Street, although the working components have been removed. The car has a full service history by RA Creamer of Kensington and Guy Salmon of Ascot, and is sold with all original documentation, two sets of keys and original registration number, along with photographs of the Queen driving and being driven in it.

registration plate ‘f1’ worth £6 million

A BUSIneSSMAn has turned down an offer of over £ 6 million for his ‘F1’ registration plate. Mr Kahn has a collection of impressive private plates including ‘4hrh’ and ‘no1’ but the ‘F1’ is the most desirable but it currently sits on his Bugatti Veyron supercar.

Mr Kahn paid a massive £ 440,000 back in 2008 for the cherished plate which was a British record. The 109-year-old registration was on Volvo S80 which was used by the chairman of Essex County Council with the local authority using the funds from the sale to raise money for a charity which

aimed to raise the standards for young drivers. It has proved to be a fantastic investment for Mr Kahn as the plate’s value has increased more than ten times with the current offer for it at over £ 6million. However, Mr. Kahn, who runs A Kahn Design in Bradford, rejected the offer believing it is worth considerably more. Personal plates are a great investment if you make the right choice. VIP 1, which originally belonged to Pope John Paul II’s Pope mobile, was bought for £ 62,000 in 2004 and then two years later Roman Baranovichi bought it for £ 285,000. HEN 2Y cost £ 6,300 in 2005, and was bought for £ 20,000 in 2010. Celebrities are huge

fans of personalized plates Vinnie Jones (100 VJ), Phil Tufnell (BE57 CAT), runner Iwan Thomas (R400 RUN), Ian Botham (B33 FYS) and Lord Sugar (AMS 1). The highest price paid for a plate sold by the DVLA in the UK was £ 352,000 for plate 1 D. Mr Kahn hold the record for the highest price paid for a private sale. Drivers in the United Arab Emirates are even more fanatical about personal registrations. The single digit ‘1’ sold in February 2008, for an amazing £ 7.25 million. Personalised number plate specialists regtransfers. co.uk marketed another number plate, reading ‘X1’, for a staggering £ 1million last September, but there has been no information on what it finally sold for.

ford preview new Concept

Ford has unveiled their S-Max Concept in an exclusive preview in germany, just a week before the Frankfurt Motor Show. Making its global debut at the show, it shows what the production version of the second generation S-Max could look like.

Since 2005 Ford has produced the MPV S-Max in a sector that has increased by a third in Europe. As an alternative to German brands, the car has appealed to families and this new concept now looks even more sportier, dynamic and stylish. “When Ford unveiled the Sport Activity Vehicle Con-

cept in 2005 it immediately captured the public’s imagination and inspired us to produce today’s S-MAX, a true white space vehicle,” said Barb Samardzich, Product Development vice president, Ford of Europe. “Our new S-MAX Concept takes that unique appeal to the next level with Ford’s latest design

and technology innovations for a new generation.” With the new front grille, as seen on recent models and also looking very similar to the Aston Martin, the S-Max Concept has what Executive Design Director of Ford of Europe, Martin Smith described as having a ‘dart-like’ profile.

Channel 4 - 21:00 - 22:40 This new feature-length ‘What-If’ drama explores the effects of a devastating cyberattack on Britain’s national electricity grid. Based on expert advice and meticulous research, Blackout combines real user-generated footage, alongside fictional scenes, CCTV archive and news reports to build a terrifyingly realistic account of Britain being plunged into darkness. Directed by BAFTA-winner Ben Chanan, the film plots the first five days immediately following a catastrophic nationwide power cut, as experienced by a cast of ordinary characters struggling to feed and protect themselves and their families. These dramatic eyewitness accounts reveal the disastrous

impact of a prolonged blackout on hospitals, law and order, transport, and our food and water supplies. Blackout brings the ‘What-If’ genre up to date by giving it a found-footage twist. Fictional scenes with professional and non-professional actors are filmed on mobile phones, laptops and camcorders, and seamlessly interwoven with real found-footage recorded during actual power cuts and other emergencies. In a television first, the programme casts members of the public from user-generated footage, weaving real-life archive with scripted drama to tell the story of how Britain could descend into chaos and anarchy without power.

Tenerife Weekly - 6th September 2013 - 12th September 2013

The star of Scotland’s Solheim Cup, Catriona Matthew blazed a final round 70 to secure her second Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish open title in three years at Archerfield Links in east Lothian.

The 44-year-old North Berwick local held steady to post a threeround total of eight-under-par after rounds of 71, 67 and 70. She ended two strokes ahead of England’s Hannah Burke, the only other player under par, on six-under after a final round 68, with fellow Englishwoman Holly Clyburn eight strokes further back on two-over. She managed to beat the weather conditions, and expressed surprise at the conditions at Archerfield, where she practises regularly: “When it’s this windy I normally don’t practice! It was pretty windy out there!” she admitted. She and her caddy husband Graeme, worked their way around the course in front of a host of home supporters and after sealing the win were greeted on the 18th green by their daughters, Katie and Sophie. “It’s great to win at home. It’s always nice play at home in front of your family and makes it special,” said Matthew, collecting her first win since the 2012 Ladies Irish Open and a first prize of £27,000. After beginning the final round three strokes clear of two other

Ladies Scottish open

players, the 44-year-old Scot quickly moved four clear with a birdie on the par-5 second. A second birdie, at the tricky par-5 sixth, extended her lead to five shots over England’s Hannah Burke and Matthew was six strokes ahead after eight holes, before hitting her second shot into a pot bunker left of the ninth green, resulting in a bogey there. She was five clear at the turn before Burke eagled 11 to get within three and then, briefly, two, after a birdie on 12. Matthew responded with birdies on 11, 14 and 15. After a double bogey on 16, she played the final two holes in level par. “I played really well today. It was very difficult with the wind. An amazing score by Hannah: fourunder. I saw the leader board after 15 and I thought I’d be a few more ahead than I was. It was a little tense coming down the last few holes,” Matthew said. “I made two really good birdies on 14 and 15 and 16, just missed the green a little with my second shot and a silly double really, a silly threeputt, but then hit a good shot into 17 and 18, a par-5, should be able to make five or six at worst.”

Lennon Cleared gallacher in Hospital of text driving ForMer ryder Cup captain Bernard gallacher is in hospital after suffering a suspected heart attack.

CeLTIC manager neil Lennon has been cleared of using his mobile phone while driving. Lennon, 42, was accused of the offence while driving a black Audi Q7 car on glasgow’s high Street on July 26 last year.

Stipendiary Magistrate Josephine MacLean ruled that there was no case to answer following a trial at the city’s Justice of the Peace court. The judge accepted an argument from Lennon’s solicitor that the Crown failed to provide the evidence necessary to convict him. She told Lennon: “I uphold the submissions that there is no case to answer. You are not guilty, you are free to go.” The football boss thanked the judge before leaving court. His solicitor, Liam O’Donnell, said after the trial: “Neil is pleased that the matter is concluded and accepts it was a misunderstanding.” Lennon went on trial after two police officers said they spotted him driving with his left hand on the wheel and his right hand outstretched, holding a mobile phone and

pressing buttons on the keypad. Constable Maxine Shields, 28, said she was patrolling the Merchant City area with a colleague at around 12.20pm when she saw the alleged offence take place and pulled over the motorist, whom she identified as Lennon. The second witness Constable Martyn McQuillan, 30, told the court he saw the Celtic star pressing buttons “in a continuous manner”. “It appeared from our observations that he could have been sending a text message,” he said. Mr O’Donnell argued that, because only one of the two

witnesses identified the car by its registration plate, they had not provided the sufficient corroboration of evidence as is required by law. Secondly, he said the Crown had not proved that the alleged mobile phone use involved “interactive communication”, which again would be required for the case to be valid. Prosecutor Derek Buchanan contested both points but they were accepted by the judge. The Northern Irishman joined Celtic as a player in 2000 to 2007 and returned the following year as coach. He was appointed manager of the Parkhead side in 2010.

Gallacher is being treated in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and was said to be in a critical condition on Friday night, NHS Grampian confirmed. It could not confirm any other details about the 64-year-old’s condition, but it is understood to have been caused by a heart problem. His daughter, Sky Sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher, is believed to be at his bedside with her mother Lesley, brother Jamie and sister Laura. George O’Grady, chief executive of the European Tour, said: “We are in touch with Bernard’s wife Lesley and the Gallacher family and, obviously, we join with everyone in wishing Bernard a speedy recovery.” His nephew Stephen, who pulled out of the ISPS Handa Wales Open during his second round on Friday morning due to a back injury, said: “I understand that he is critical but stable. “My family is in disarray at the moment and it is obviously a worrying situation. We are all anxious.” Gallacher, who was born in Bathgate in 1949, turned professional in 1967 and became the youngest winner of the prestigious PGA Champi-

onship two years later, a record which stood until earlier this year. He made the first of his eight Ryder Cup appearances as a player in 1969, defeating Lee Trevino 4&3 in the singles at Birkdale in a contest which famously ended in a 16-16 draw after Jack Nicklaus sportingly conceded a putt to Tony Jacklin on the 18th green of the final match. The next seven contests all ended in defeat, the last by a single point at Palm Beach Gardens in Florida in 1983. Gallacher went on to captain Europe in 1991, 1993 and 1995.

His teams suffered two narrow defeats - the first in the controversial “War on the Shore” at Kiawah Island - before a memorable one-point win at Oak Hill in New York. That victory was sealed by Philip Walton’s win over Jay Haas on the 18th green of the penultimate singles match, with Walton still holding on to his putter as Gallacher hoisted him into the air in jubilation. Gallacher went on to become a successful broadcaster and reported on 2012’s dramatic ‘Miracle at Medinah’ European victory for BBC Radio Five Live.

Lauda relives Continued from Horrific Crash Back page

1 Legend niki Lauda had no memory of what happened in the crash that left him with horrific facial burns, that is until he saw the hospital scenes in the new film rush which tells of his infamous rivalry with James hunt. The Austrian returned to racing just weeks after his Ferrari came off the track in the 1976 german grand Prix as he tried to stop hunt from being crowned champion.

Ron Howard with James Hunt’s son Tommy on the set of RUSH. Speaking at the world premiere of Rush, Lauda, who was trapped in his burning car for over a minute, he said: “I was inside so I was busy staying alive. The movie is done very realistically and I, too, was shocked when I saw the hospital scenes, how they treated me, what they had to do to keep me alive. So, even the movie for me was a shock in one way.” Ron Howard’s latest film tells the story of the Hunt-Lauda rivalry, widely considered to be one of the fiercest sport has ever known: “It’s a gauntlet, emotional and physical, that they put themselves through to try to achieve greatness, to fulfil that need that they had [to win],” said Howard. “All of that was only intensified by the fact that it was played out in Formula 1 - a world that is dangerous, that is visual, that is cinematic, that is so visceral - so I thought it was a fantastic combination.” Rush stars Australian actor Chris Hemsworth,

as playboy British racer Hunt, a risk-taker, with a penchant for drugs, women and alcohol. Germany’s Daniel Bruhl plays the dour, detailobsessed Lauda. Asked how he feels about his rival now, Lauda said: “I wish James could be here tonight, because this would be my best day. I feel very warm about him.” Hunt died from a heart attack in 1993, aged just 45. His son Tom, was also on the red carpet, said he was happy with his father’s portrayal in the film. He said he understood why Howard had covered his father’s playboy lifestyle: “There were bits of that involved in dad’s life. That’s part of who dad was - that’s partly why he was so famous and popular.”

Rush is released in the UK on September 13th.

rocky V Boxer dies ForMer boxer Tommy Morrison, “The duke” who won a heavyweight title by beating george Foreman, has died at the age of 44. he died on Sunday at a nebraska hospital, his promoter Tony holden said. his family has not released a cause of death. He was perhaps best known for his role in the 1990 film Rocky V after Sylvester Stallone cast him as Tommy “Machine” Gunn. In 1993, Morrison beat then 44-year-old Foreman to win the WBO heavyweight title. After losing the title to Michael Bentt, he then fought Lennox Lewis in 1995, but was knocked out in the sixth round in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 1996, Morrison was diagnosed with HIV, and his boxing licence was immediately suspended. He blamed his condition on a “permissive, fast and reckless lifestyle”, but later refused to accept the diagnosis and continued to claim the test was false.

His mother, Diana Morrison, told ESPN he had been in denial about having HIV ever since receiving the first test results. In an interview last month she said: “He’s in the end stages. That’s it. I tell him that the family loves him, he’s always in our prayers ... I don’t tell him to keep fighting or nothing, because I want him to go.” Morrison was jailed for two years in 2000 after weapons charges and multiple drink-driving arrests. After his release, he continued to deny his HIV diagnosis saying he wanted to resume h i s boxing career. H e passed medical tests in Texas in 2007 a n d entered the ring again. He finished his career with 49 wins from his 52 fights.

MCLAren t e a m principal and group Ceo, Martin Whitmarsh said: “Marking McLaren’s 50th anniversary is an extremely proud moment for me, and for every single person who works for this organisation. We are a group that thrives on the passion, determination and belief of our employees. We are also grateful to have received outstanding support from all our partners over the decades, whose backing has given our world-class engineers and drivers the tools they need to win races.”

Over the 50 years, McLaren have won 182 Grand Prix, eight constructors’ championships and 12 drivers’ titles. Their champions - Emerson Fittipaldi, James Hunt, Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Mika Hakkinen and Lewis Hamilton - have all become household names and motorsport legends. “To witness the scope and scale of our growth across the past five decades has been truly astonishing,” added Whitmarsh. “From our humble beginnings, McLaren has not only become a world-renowned sporting force, but also a byword for superlative technical excellence and attention to detail. That’s an incredible legacy, and a testament to the consistent adherence to the highest of standards. Everything we do - from racing Grand Prix cars around the world to developing groundbreaking new medical technologies - is approached with the same mind set: how can we be better? How can we be the best? That is the methodology that continually motivates me and still makes me feel incredibly proud to work for McLaren.” Jenson Button, a McLaren driver since 2010 and an eight-time winner with the team, commented: “I’ve

never hidden my pride at being a McLaren driver. I grew up watching this team achieving great things with Ayrton Senna and my racing hero, Alain Prost. And I firmly believe this team will be great again; this is an organisation you can never discount their appetite for winning is unlike anything I’ve ever seen and, rest assured, we will be back at the front soon. For me, it’s hugely gratifying to not only be at MTC on the actual day of the anniversary, but to spend time with the thousands of people who all work with such skill and enthusiasm to make McLaren great. Happy 50th birthday McLaren - you are an inspiration to everyone in motorsport.” Team mate Perez, still in his first season with McLaren, added: “Ayrton Senna was my hero when I was growing up and getting into Formula One. Ever since then, I’ve had huge respect for McLaren - throughout my whole life they have been winning races and championships, and have consistently been one of the best teams in Formula One. “To drive for McLaren in their 50th year has been a great personal achievement for me - ever since I first arrived, I’ve found a team utterly hungry for success, yet always friendly and considerate. It’s this human quality that has really struck me about the team - they are completely united, so you always know they are pushing hard for you. In turn, that makes you want to step up and deliver yourself. It’s

unbelievable to think that McLaren is 50 today - I want to wish the team every success for the next 50 years.” Bruce McLaren took his team into Formula One racing at the 1966 Monaco Grand Prix, since then no other F1 team has scored more victories. The team has also dominated the iconic North American CanAm sportscar series, taking 43 wins between 1967 and 1972, won the Indy 500 three times between ’72 and ’76, and took the Le Mans 24 Hours on their first attempt, in 1995. McLaren have grown from a humble racing outfit to encompass McLaren Electronic Systems, which supplies technologies to every F1 team as well as those in NASCAR and Indycar, and McLaren Applied Technologies, which applies the company’s expertise to a wide range of industries from elite sport and healthcare to energy and product design. Following Monday’s celebrations at the McLaren Technology Centre, the evening was marked by the world premiere in London of the new Hollywood movie Rush, where McLaren have a significant and symbolic presence. Directed by Ron Howard, the film tells the story of the rivalry for the 1976 F1 title between Ferrari’s Niki Lauda and McLaren’s James Hunt. And at Monza this weekend, McLaren will officially commemorate their 50th anniversary with the rest of the Formula One community at the Formula 1 Gran Premio d’Italia 2013.

new Look Cd marino Hit the ground running

The win was well deserved, a second clean sheet and four points from the first two games is a very encouraging platform to build on. Marino are home this Saturday night at 8.30pm to CD Vera with entry just eight euros and children free.

Airam penalty strike

WITh pride in the blue shirt and full of youthful promise, Cd Marino made an instant impression with a 1-0 win over el Cotillo in their first Tercera home game. There was plenty to like about the performance, maybe not spectacular and full of flowing football but they did the basics well and looked comfortable and composed.

Knitting a new batch of players together is never easy but coach Sosa Espinel had them working for each other with good tactical awareness. A lightning start saw last season’s right back Aaron overlap well to create some half chances for eager forwards Josito and Murci. On the opposite side Roberto Carlos was also eager to support as Marino dominated the early play. The pressure paid off after five minutes, Josito was brought down in the penalty area and captain Airam converted the spot kick. The referee saw an infringement and ordered

a retake but it made no difference, the keeper was again sent the wrong way. Pulido caught the Cotillo defence cold with a well measured dipping cross, Carlos came charging in but could only hook the ball over the goal. Marino looked confident and Eslava joined in the chase for a second goal, his header needed more power and visiting goalie Omar took the ball cleanly. The second half opened with another quick reaction from Carlos, he tried a long lob on the unprepared keeper and wasn’t far off target. Cotillo stepped up the physical side of their game to muscle back in and the referee was easily impressed by their constant theatrics. Marino were put on the back foot but again their teamwork stood them in good stead, Pablo tracked back well to hold off Isaac and clear the ball when he was bearing down on the home goal. At the other end Aaron burst through and took the ball to the goal line, turning to tuck the ball back into the box proved to be just a move too far and the danger was cleared. There are still a few

experienced heads to bring on the new young crop, Balduino came on and within minutes made an opening only to see his shot go narrowly wide. Murci had a half shout for a penalty when a Cotillo defender tried to trip him in the box but his honesty went against him, he rode the tackle when many would have taken the fall. The ref wasn’t so shy on Airam when he dished out a second yellow card and the Marino captain was off leaving his 10 men 15 minutes to hold out. To their credit they withstood a late onslaught from Cotillo partly with good defending and also due to some fine saves from Alber-

to, a two fisted clearance and a safe high catch showed his quality.

Airam penalty goal

www.tenerife-weekly.com The racing may be thrilling and intense but the pits area and marina were wreathed in smiles as the 180 competitors poured over their 45 speed boats newly released from their industrial containers. They could have been forgiven for the odd frown faced with the logistical nightmare of preparing for the 2013 World Waterski Racing Championships. British captain Karen Brooks was double checking thick wads of paperwork as F2 category skier Gillian Clements rode out of the pits astride Jumpin Jive for a spin just outside Puerto Colon marina. Each boat has a driver, a skier, and an observer sat facing the skier to relay instructions.

Karen filled me in on some of the background to reaching the starting line. “We had to ship the boats across from Cadiz after a cross country drive, the containers are the best way even if they do cost 4,500 pounds for a return trip each.” The doors were open on most of the containers and they were packed with as much technical gear, clothes, and of course national flags as possible. “We were able to load two boats in each with a delicately poised top to tail arrangement” added Karen. “This is not a professional sport, we all have jobs and have to finance our own competitions, it takes about 100,000 a year to run a boat”. Sponsorship stickers on hulls show there is some support but it is a tall order.

British Speed Skiers Feel At Home On Tenerife Waters Peter Van Gastel

Gillian Clements - Jumpin Jive Chief Judge Peter Van Gastel from Belgium has been involved in the sport for 40 years from driving a boat to officiating and heads up a team of 25 judges for this championship. “There’s a lot to keep an eye on over the two courses, points are awarded for finishing positions each race but deductions can be made for infringements like getting too close to another skier, safety is very important especially

Salvation must come from within for CD Tenerife, three games into the new season and they have still to bulge the net and the transfer window closed without the arrival of a potential goal scorer. Aridane was rushed back from injury as a 60th minute sub at Mirandes but he looked a shadow of last season’s top scorer and the defence buckled in a 2-0 defeat. And now they have lost striker Borja Perez for up to a month with a torn muscle.

Coach Alvaro Cervera will have to make radical changes to clear the blockage, Guillem Marti failed miserably to step up as the main striker at Mirandes, it’s a team problem though and will need a team solution. Suso got the message, after fruitless crosses the previous week he continually cut inside from the right wing but even then it came to a dead halt like the early weak header down from Cristo. Raul Camara was a surprise pick at left back but the right sided player did a good job and Moyano was reliable as always at right back. Many of the problems stemmed from midfield, there was no spark there, Rivero and Sanz showed no urgency and Loro played too deep to be a threat. Tenerife did make some chances but Prieto wasn’t unduly worried in the home goal. Mirandes looked very ordinary and distinctly beatable, even an away draw wouldn’t have been a disaster. The

with around 34 boats racing at any time. Some of the judges will be stationed on marker buoys to watch the key danger points.” There was some encouragement for GB from the chief judge. “ A lot of waterski racing takes place on canals and rivers, particularly in my country but even the seas vary. Test rides in Tenerife last year showed that the high salt content produces a hard bump as the boats

bounce over the waves, in Australia, where the last World event was held two years ago, the sea absorbs the landing more. The sea here is more similar to what the British are used to riding.” Tenerife can be proud of its first staging of this type of sporting event, it was at short notice too, after the last Worlds two years ago America was chosen for 2013 but a year ago they had to withdraw

and Tenerife stepped in. The harbour wall has some new temporary seating added, there’s a bar and food area, and a large judges stage is half way along the harbour wall level with the finishing point of each race. The race days are Saturday 7th September, Monday 9th, Wednesday 11th, and the big final is on Saturday 14th, all races are from 9am to 2pm and it’s free to watch.

Shot Shy CD Tenerife Running Through Shadows Of Stutter To Defeat TheSanta Cruz

hosts stirred in the second half, former Tenerife starlet Iriome clipped an acute shot off the underside of the bar. Loro spurned Tenerife’s best chance, a rebound came to him off a defender but he couldn’t control the ball, Cristo launched a long ball into the box and again it was a home boot that was first on the scene. Aridane warmed up on the touchline, shed his training gear, and entered the fray with all hopes riding on him. A few minutes was enough to see that he was not ready, Aday replaced Cristo – again no reaction and Tenerife shriveled. Mirandes sensed the weakness, Mujika had

plenty of time to control a ball chipped over the Tenerife defence and he drilled it into the net. A second goal edged nearer as Mirandes attacked again, Sergio Aragoneses did his best to repel the home side, unsighted he tipped aside a deceptive shot; another break on the verge of full time was met with an even better save as the defence backed off. Injury time completed the agony as Galarreta set up Muniz who picked his way through the static rearguard to make it 2-0. This Sunday Barcelona B come to Santa Cruz for a 5pm kick off, a tough test but Tenerife often show their best form when the pressure is on.

Dig out those horrendously bright trainers and running shoes, they could come in handy for the first after dark run as part of the Santa Cruz spectacular late late show, the Plenilunio on Saturday 21 September.

Running on a street course of 5.2 kms around Parque Garcia Sanabria, the contestants will pass through the shopping heart of the capital and around landmarks like Plaza Weyler. The run starts at 9pm and you can sign up at www.sociedad-desarrollo. com for just six euros; that includes a commemorative vest and a chip to record your exact time. Big crowds are guaranteed as the promotional night runs until 2am and as well as the shops, bars, and restaurants being open late there will be live music at the main plazas and special tours of historic buildings. As those trainers cool off slip into some dance shoes and make a night of it.

cLaren marked their 50th anniversary earlier this week by throwing a celebratory party at their UK headquarters. The company’s staff witnessed the historic running of iconic McLaren cars, driven by - among others - the team’s current drivers, Jenson Button and Sergio Perez. Bruce McLaren Motor Racing Limited was formally incorporated on September 2, 1963, when the 26-year-old New Zealander got together a small crew to design, build and race cars bearing his name, all from a small, cramped workshop in New Malden, Surrey. The team moved on to various premises in Colnbrook and Woking before settling in its current site at the McLaren Technology Centre (MTC), home to all of the team’s various businesses, and workplace to more than 2,000 people.
