T he 6th Cities on Vol-canoes Conference, one of the largest

conferences of the year in Tenerife, attracted hun-dreds of delegates from all over the world to the con-ference centre in Puerto de la Cruz.

Canarian volcanologists worked hard to bring the bien-nial conference to the islands, to help underline the general lack of preparation in the islands in the face of future eruptions. The Canaries are volcanic islands and sooner or later a new eruption will break out somewhere. Out of the seven islands, only Tenerife has a fully drawn up emergency plan and experts emphasise that even that has not yet been tested or

hundreds of potential stars of screen, small and large, tuned up recently at the Blackstone film casting session which was held in the cc plaza del duque over the last weekend of may.

From tiny tots to interesting senior citizens, the company’s call was for everyone and

anyone to turn up and get their photograph taken for possible use in future projects. BlackstoneFilms are based in Parque de

la Reina and are a film and TV production company.

The atmosphere during the casting was fun and relaxed, with very little sign of

any ‘Hollywood’ moms around. People took it in their stride, were there as much out of curiosity as a desire for fame and fortune, and certainly the people at Blackstone were more than pleased with the turn out of over 1,200 people.

Every eruption is different and since, over the millennia, the Canaries has experienced all of the various types of dan-gers associated with volcanoes: explosions, ash flows and show-ers, mud flows, landslides, shifts in earth levels, lava flows, poisonous gasses and tsunamis, it is impossible to predict the type of eruption that will happen here next.

Whilst previous Canarian eruptions caused little loss of life, history has only recorded 23 deaths from volcanic erup-tions in the Islands over the last five centuries, the amount of risk is correlated exactly to the population levels which now stand at the highest saturation level ever, particularly along the coast where most lava, mud and ash flows would be led by the various ravines. Ash deposits

of up to 10 metres in depth have been measured from previous tinerfeñan eruptions for example.

The calming inference that seemed to be coming from the authorities after the seismic mini-crisis in 2004, that a couple of bulldozers could get in front of the lava flow and cleave a safe path for any danger, would seem to have no basis in scientific fact. If a major eruption occurs, water supplies will be widely contaminated and power sup-plies and transport inevitably heavily affected.

Also worrying is that one of the two monitoring bodies in the islands does not share its information with the rest of the scientific community, meaning that frequently ex-pensive and scarce equipment

is duplicated in potential hot spots. That political or personal interest should allowed to be put above the safety and wel-fare of the public who pay for this equipment and personnel is scandalous and should be stopped now.

Experts agree that the Canar-ies is “due” an eruption, but they cannot predict where or when and “due” would seem to be an elastic statement too for a science that deals in millennia rather than decades.

The longest period that the Canaries has gone within re-corded historical times without an eruption is 85 years, but the average time between volcanic episodes is 40 years (the last eruption was in 1971 in La Palma). We were also told that the space between highly explosive eruptions is around 200,000 years and since it is 188,000 years approximately since the last one, we are also “due” another soon, however no scientist can or will put his hand on his heart and declare when.

What we have to do is to be properly informed and pre-pared. Risk areas need to be

identified in all the islands, the areas kept a close watch on and plans drawn up. Peo-ple need to know what to do and a proper system set up to sound the alarm, somewhat more complicated given the multi-linguistic nature of the resident and tourist population of the Islands.

On the plus side in Tenerife at least, we are lucky to have two airports, with the prob-ability that at least one should be able to continue to operate if there is a problem here. The new Canarian Volcano Institute is also finally to be set up and will be sited in Puerto de la Cruz.

So, failing other information, if there is a problem where do we go to escape immediate danger? According to Ray Cas, an Australian volcanology professor with a number of years of experience in Tenerife, the safest areas will probably be Teno and Anaga, although they too could experience some fallout.

More information next edition.

economic crisis

Canarian emigrationthousands of islanders have been forced to emigrate due to the economic crisis according to data recently released by human resources experts Adecco.

The level is double the national average and shows an increase of 18.8 per cent since April 2008, amounting

to some 14,000 over 18s. The most worrying aspect is that the level of education of those choosing to go elsewhere is extremely high, a phenomenon the sociologists call a brain drain.

Around half of the emigrants choose to resettle in Europe, with the USA, UK, France, Italy and Germany continu-

ing to be popular and Portugal increasing in demand along with previously less frequent choices such as Norway and Sweden. Many are also choosing developing countries such as those in Latin America where there are ample opportuni-ties for investigation in scientific fields.

politics

Caesar’s wifeA row is building up over a payment of €1,200 to the tailor of the canarian president’s wife.

Angela Mena, who is also a councillor for Santa Cruz and head of their department for women, apparently

ordered an outfit for a special occasion. She was invited to be the ‘godmother’ of a particular group of Spain’s troops and present the flag, an act which she seems to feel gave her the right to charge the Canarian Government for her outfit of the day. To add insult to injury, the outfit worn by Ms. Mena whilst “representing” the Canaries, included a tall peineta or wide comb and mantilla, Andalusian style.

ic mediA group

Take noteIsland Connections would like to clarify to clients past,

present and future, of all publications in the IC Media group (Island Connections, Kanaren Express, The Magazine and FM Express) that neither Uli Gloser nor Mandy Stewart work for our group nor represent us in any venture.

Both were members of this company in the past but departed for ventures new over a year ago and no longer have any connection whatsoever with our company or products.

unemployment

Jobless breather the steep rise in unemployment in the canaries appears to have been halted, although analysts warn the respite may only be momentary.

The latest monthly jobless figures show that the rate fell by 0.5 per cent in May compared to April. The drop,

well below the falls seen in regions such as the Balearics (-7.6 per cent) or La Rioja (-5 per cent), leaves the total number registered as out of work in the Canaries at just under 265,600. The overall 12-month rate since May 2009 has risen by 6.5 per cent, half of the average increase seen across Spain.

Tony Tree, RIP

Fuerteventura’s expat community is mourn-ing the loss of one of

its most popular members, who died recently and has left behind a legacy of happy memories among his family and friends.

The death of Tony Tree, one of the biggest fans of the island he fell in love with after a holiday many years ago, has prompted a flood of tributes from people known to him personally, as well as others who only knew him as ‘Woody’, his pseudonym on the very active Fuerteventura Fo-rum, to which he was a regular contributor with tips and advice on virtually everything under the sun (literally).

Tony’s partner of 16 years, Sandie Roe, revealed to Island Connections that his coffin con-tained a few surprises when he was laid to rest on 24 May after losing his brave fight against stomach cancer.

“Tony was an incorrigible smoker. Despite his illness, he would not give up so I arranged with the funeral directors to place in the coffin a packet of cigarettes and his lighter to accompany him on his final journey.

“His smoking was matched only by his tea-drinking, which everyone who knows us can tes-tify, especially those he press-ganged into supplying him with his beloved Sainsbury’s tea bags from home when they flew over on June 11th.

“Needless to say the teabags are in there as well to keep him company” said Sandie, who is still coming to terms with fill-ing what she describes as “the gaping hole” left in her life by the man she met 16 years ago after answering a newspaper ad in Great Yarmouth.

Among other curiosities in the coffin are two folded photo-graphs of Sandie (“so I can keep an eye on him if he misbehaves up there”), his favourite glasses,

a few butterflies (another of Tony’s passions) and a memo-rial card for which he himself wrote the words shortly before his death.

Although Tony Tree’s funeral was a low-key affair, Sandie and his surviving children felt his passing should be marked a short time later by one of his favourite events, a lively barbecue at home for relatives and friends on.

“I can’t think of a more ap-propriate way to say farewell to him. He was absolutely barbecue-mad and we had one at home on his 58th birthday on 31 March, even though he could not eat a thing because of his stomach cancer. It is the way people will remember him: shirtless with his glass raised

standing at the barbecue” said Sandie.

The island has lost one of its stalwarts, who left no stone unturned to find information requested by Forum visitors needing help. He would never give up on the computer until he found the information he was looking for to answer a query. “It was his nature never to let anyone down.

“Tony would offer to pick people up from the airport, but not tell them he did not drive over here. I was his driver so it meant an airport trip for me!”

Tony’s untiring efforts to bail people out prompted the following moving tribute from Forum regular ‘Falkirkdan’ (Danny Callaghan):

When your boiler has bust and water starts to spewWho is going to tell you what to doNeed to know the bus to the ZooHe knew that too

We will miss his advice on what to do His wit and his directness tooNo doubt from above the Fo-rum he is a watchingHis keyboard fingers a twitching

He was never happier than supping his favourite brewAnd was happy to share a cup with youHe was a friend to manyThe wise sage of the ForumFuerty he loved with a passionRest in Peace Woody’

7Islands

The hole left in the lives of Sandie, his four daughters and Sandie’s son Barry, is matched by the gap left on Tony’s favou-rite spot on the island: his own patch on the sand at Corralejo, where he brought a totally different meaning to the term beach bum, as Sandie jokingly recalls.

“He would often get the bus from our home in Costa Antigua to Puerto del Rosario and then another one all the way up to Corralejo, where he sunbathed on the same spot all time time. The first thing he would do would be to slip off his trunks to get his behind a good tan, even though it made for some embarrassing moments when people he knew would turn up to say hello and he had to frantically put the swimming trunks back on to get up for a chat”. That was Tony, RIP.

RuRal awaRd

Making a differencea Tenerife Cabildo prize for contribution to the rural areas of the island has this year been awarded to Juan antonio Jorge Peraza.

Juan Antonio (centre) with his friend, Chef Juan Carlos and Vilaflor Mayor Manolo Fumero

He came up with the idea of promoting various rural areas through a recreation of island traditions and explaining

various historic uses of island products during organised walks such as the popular walk through the heights between Santiago del Teide and Garachico, the almond fair in Aripe, the traditions day in Taucho, the threshing in San José de los Llanos and the almond, pitch, stone and honey routes. His, “locuras” as he terms them are immensely popular and are an unqualified success.A well deserved award for someone whose enviable ability is not only based on his enthusiasm and commitment but his skill in inspiring the same enthusiasm and commitment in others.

PoliTiCs

President defends decisionCa n a r i a n p re s i d e nt Paulino Rivero used the extensive media coverage of the Canary islands day celebrations to justify his party’s decision not to topple the spanish government in the recent austerity package vote in Parliament.

Spanish PM José Luis Ro-dríguez Zapatero would

have faced a no confidence vote if Rivero’s Canarian Coalition Party had joined almost every other party in voting against the package.

Speaking in Telde, Rivero said the decision by the CC’s two MPs to abstain, and thus give Zapatero a majority of one, was an “act of great responsibility” for the sake of the country. He revealed that Zapatero had called him personally on the eve of the crucial vote to enlist his suport. Ironically, Rivero is in a coalition in the Canaries with Spain’s main opposition party, the PPP.

Jet2.com an-nounces strategyEnglish low cost airline Jet2.com

has been searching for solutions to the problems caused by the

dust cloud from the eruption of the volcano in Iceland.

Seeking to allow their passengers to continue travelling, despite the cloud of volcanic dust, the airline has announced the following strategy:

* Aircraft would fly at a higher altitude over areas affected by the dust cloud, despite the fact that this will cause higher fuel consumption

* A specific SMS service will keep passengers informed regarding cancellations, delays and the replacement of flights by buses

Frontur

Ash cloud declIne

The full extent of the ash cloud chaos a few weeks ago on tourism in the Canaries has emerged with the publi-cation of the visitor numbers for April.

According to the latest Frontur survey, which calcu-lates incoming passengers from other countries, the Canaries suffered a drop of just over 15 per cent in holidaymakers compared to the same month in 2009, with Britain and Germany the markets worst affected by the disruption. The number of UK holidaymakers fell by 27 per cent due to the prolonged closures of airports throughout the country.

The massive disruption, which saw tens of thousands of passengers stranded both here and in their airports of origin, has highlighted the reliance of the Canaries’ tourist industry on air travel. At the height of the crisis, the regional authori-ties put in place contingency plans to charter several ferries to ship tourists to southern Spain, a journey of more than two days, to enable them to travel onwards by road.

Tourism recovery

Irish tourism targeted by LanzaroteLanzarote’s tourism authorities have set themselves the job of restoring irish visitor n u m b e r s t o t h e i r former levels following the noticeable decline during the first part of the year.

Figures released by the local Board show that

although the overall fall in holidaymakers in the first four months of 2010, when 481,000 visitors flew into Lanzarote, stands at two per cent compared to the same period in 2009, in the case of Irish tourists the drop is over 21 per cent.

A spokeswoman said an all-out effort was need-

ed to recuperate the third most important market for the island after the UK and Germany, both of which have picked up again this year, despite the disruption caused by the ash cloud recently.

Fee Fraud

Con men arrestedTwo men who allegedly conned dozens of people in Fuerteventura with fake job offers have been arrested by police on the island.

The pair, who posed as managers of a new com-

pany, posted ads in shop windows and cybercafés inviting applications for well-paid jobs as night-club staff and cleaners for premises to be opened in various parts of Fuerteventura. After meeting up with applicants over cof-fee they asked them to fill in forms and pay sums of up to €70 as a “processing fee” for registering them for National insurance contributions.

Checks of company re-cords revealed that

the new firm was fictitious and police officers set up a sting operation by answer-ing the ads. The two men were arrested as soon as they requested money from the detectives as part of the application process. Police believe the pair may have carried out similar cons in other parts of the Canaries, particularly neighbouring Lanzarote.

Volcanic dust cloud

* Special plans are being made to create coordination centres for aircraft and road transport throughout Europe

* Agreements are being sought with European transport companies to enable Jet2.com to use hundreds of buses within a short time from the cancellation of flights

* A plan is being created to get passengers home by air, land or sea in the case of flight cancellations

In the meantime, Jet2.com advise that their passengers should make their mobile phone numbers available at the time of making flight reservations so that they can be kept informed, and advise checking the company website, www.jet2.com for updates regarding specific flights.

La Laguna

Homage to James Velkov“at last” and “finally” were the words on everyone’s lips as the bust of James Velkov was unveiled in guajara recently.

On the second anniversary of James’ death, authorities, friends and family joined together to see one of his dearest

wishes come to fruition, the unveiling of a bust, commissioned by him from the renowned island resident artist, Vicky Penfold, within the enclaves of the first urbanisation he created. It is only a great shame that he wasn’t alive to see it, but his widow, with some of James’ own patience and tenacity, was able to gentle guide the project through. Friends and family paid James homage. The local mayor, Fernando Clavijo, spoke of his dedication and his work in creating Guajara and Tabaiba and island president, Ricardo Melchior, spoke of him as an example to everyone. Those of us who knew him regret the loss of his humour and friendship, his fundamental respect for people and places and his overwhelming honour in all his dealings and applaud the ‘better late than never’ gesture of the placement of his bust.

A grand time was had by all at the sixth recreation of the charcoal burners’ art in Vilaflor recently.

The event is staged as part of a week long programme to promote the local gastronomy and this year the wonderful quality of the local grown po-tatoes and kept us all busy over the weekend. Early Saturday morning, the charcoal burners prepared and fired the charcoal pyre and whilst we kept watch to make sure all their efforts didn’t end in ashes, there were tales of lore from Enrique Savoie Álvarez, a guide through the night sky including impressions of Timón and Pumbaa by Juan Vicente Ledesma de Taoro and

a laughter therapy group by Ana María Gámez Rojas. The following morning, whilst the charcoal cooled, Jonay Escuela Noda showed us all how to make cheese, representatives from the restaurants began

and help with the judging. Fi-nally at a nod from the mayor, Manolo Fumero, the pyre was opened and we could all see the result of our joint labour and vigilance.

It was refreshing to see the mayor and councillors shifting tables and chairs and washing pots with the rest of the volun-teers, not even looking around for someone else to do it but rolling up their sleeves and getting on with it and it was indicative of the atmosphere of the whole weekend, mutual respect and sharing.

The food was fabulous, many of the restaurants will be keep-ing the dishes they created for the event on their menus for the next few weeks, the wine superb and the atmosphere couldn’t be bettered. If you haven’t yet visited Vilaflor, now is a great time to do so, if you have, go back, there’s a lot there you haven’t yet seen or experienced.

In a year when so much chaos has been caused by a volcano, it’s inter-

esting to know that in just a few weeks, the northern town of Garachico will be celebrating their salvation from their last volcanic eruption in 1706.

Garachico was founded after the Spanish conquest of the island in 1496 by the Genovese banker Cristobál de Ponte and it became the main port of the island, prospering in trade with Spain, Latin America and Europe. Its wealth and fame grew and rumour has it that there was once even a street paved with Carrera marble whereon the poor were only allowed to tread once a week to ask for alms. However from the beginning of the17th century onwards the town’s luck began to change for the worse. Early in the century they were hit twice by pestilence, followed by a flood in 1645 which killed over 100 people. 14 years later a plague of locusts wiped out the crops and towards the end of the century two major

fires swept through the town. The final straw was the erup-tion of the Trevejo volcano in 1706, which swept swiftly down the mountains, permanently blocked the port and allegedly buried the marble street. It was the end of Garachico’s great trading days forever.

However on this occasion no-one was killed, a salvation that local legend credits to their figure of Cristo de la Mi-sericordia and thus every five years, the village celebrates the population’s safe delivery from the eruption in a spectacular and very unusual way (and rather thriftily combine the fiesta with the annual craft fair and their popular fiesta of the traditions and romería of San Roque. In what has become known as the Fuegos del Risco, a group of local volunteers, using sacks, pine cones, and various pyrotechnical tricks, recreate the sight of the lava flowing down the hillside to drown the town and block the port. It is an extraordinarily impressive vision and not to be missed.

Also essential viewing are

the extravagant artistic floats, one of which is always made from 100s of thousands of paper flowers. If the flower float isn’t there, for the locals, the fiesta has not happened. One year, the day before the procession a stray spark from a soldering iron set fire to the float and destroyed months of work. The whole village, even the cloistered nuns, worked day and night to remake the flowers to recreate the float.

If you can only attend one romería street procession in the year, Garachico’s San Roque fiesta definitely has to be one of the favourite choices. Small towns have curiosities that cannot be seen elsewhere or in very few places. In big towns a romería tends to be something of an exhibition, in Garachico, you are urged to join in.

Over the whole period there are exhibitions, music and folk music concerts, sports, cultural and tourism activities all of which make the town well worth a visit. If you want to make the most of your trip, local hotels are not expensive, but places are few, so you are advised to book early.

Thousands attend RomeríaThe organisers of this year’s annual Romería in Los Realejos say the event attracted its biggest turn-out for years.

Upwards of 35,000 people, the vast majority in traditional dress, packed the northern town

for the celebrations, which coincided with Canary Islands Day. Almost one hundred floats and carts took part in the Romería, which took place in glorious sunshine and went off without incident according to the local police. The town’s Tourism Initiatives Centre made a special effort this year to attract tourists holidaying in the area to the event.

Possible themes have been put on ice for a later Carnaval to

allow a fitting tribute to González, who is credited with creating one of Carnaval’s most popular celebrations, the Burial of the Sardine.

A Tenerife woman who refused to hand over her foster daughter

to her biological mother has had her sentence cut to three months on appeal.

Soledad Perera, from La Oro-tava, was convicted in March on several counts of refusing to obey orders from a court and the social services to hand over the young girl, whose real mother claimed custody years after giving her up for adoption. The tug of war escalated into an acrimonious legal battle which Perera lost despite recruit-ing the services of one of the country’s top lawyers, former Spanish Attorney general Eli-

Tram incidenT

School-children trappedParents of a group of infants who were trapped for over half an hour in a tram in Santa Cruz have criticised the driver for refusing to open the doors despite the soaring temperatures inside the carriage.

The incident occurred when a power failure knocked out the electricity supply to the overhead ca-bles of the tramlines, pre-venting the tram carrying the school party from pro-ceeding. The youngsters, from a primary school in Bajamar, were visiting Santa Cruz with their teachers and were stranded in the car-riage while engineers in the tram company’s HQ worked to restore power. According to the parents, the driver was asked repeatedly to open the doors manually to let the four year-olds out, or at least let fresh air in, but refused. One parent is quot-ed in a local daily as say-ing “the air was unbreath-able due to the heat and he should have acted”.

The problem, which af-fected a total of 22 trams between La Laguna and Santa Cruz, was fixed just before noon, although de-lays were caused for several hours.

While the members of the edito-rial team in the Island Connec-tions office are not quaking in

their professional boots (yet), we were more than impressed with the work being done in the English classes at the CEIP El Médano, the local infants and primary school in Granadilla.

Under the guidance of the school’s aux-iliary English teacher, Kathy Webber, and with teachers Monica and Donna, the classes (kids from ages 5 to 12) are all working on their own English language publications. Kathy said they were looking for some way to interest the kids in learning the language, and she remembered how much fun work-ing on a school magazine had been in her day, suggested they try something similar, and a few months later the presses are ready to roll.

On a visit to a class of 11 year olds we were more than taken with their work to

date. Their publication will be called ‘Multi Magazine, and has pages on a wide variety of topics, from fashion (for boys as well as girls) to pets and animals, sport, music, recipes, a crossword page…we were tempted to poach some of the pages for ourselves. The junior editorial teams have also worked on the layout and design themselves and certainly showed they were more than interested in the project. They are also hoping to place some free advertising – though maybe if some of the publications took off they could charge local businesses next year and make them self sustaining. When complete Island Con-nections will be honoured to help in picking an overall ‘best’ publication, but, clichés aside, all the kids taking part are winners.

Kathy told us that she hopes to widen the project, maybe next year including all the public schools in South Tenerife. For now we will soon bring you news of the winner, and a sample of their work.

HOTEL DEMOLiTiOn saGa

ConTInuEs

The threatened demoli-tion of one of Tenerife’s

most famous hotels moved a step closer with the

news that the Department of the Environment has activated a rarely used

mechanism to reclaim the property after a lease

lasting several decades.

The El Médano Hotel has been the subject of a

bitter legal dispute between its owners and the Spanish authorities since the latter notified it that it breached environmental legislation.

Despite an intense cam-paign by locals and official bodies in Tenerife, includ-ing Granadilla council and the Cabildo, who want an

exception to be made given the hotel’s historic status,

the Department of the En-vironment refuses to budge on its position and has now ruled that changes made to the hotel down the years, in particular the conversion of a terrace into guest rooms,

has effectively annulled the terms of the original

concession awarded to the owners. The ruling has

been followed by official notice that Madrid is to

invoke its right to reclaim the land on which the hotel

stands.

Cruise plans for Los Cristia-nosThe newly-elected business association in Arona has set its sights on modernising the port of Los Cristianos to enable it to receive cruise liners.

The association, now chaired by Antonio González, wants Los Cristianos to be given a massive upgrade to accom-modate at least some of the liners that call in to Tenerife. However, it stresses that unless the improvements to the port are accompanied by changes to the resort’s business model, the plans could backfire bad-ly. “We need to rethink what sort of services we offer here so that cruise passengers will not be left with the impression that Los Cristianos has nothing to offer. For this we need the local council, traders and the island’s authorities to work to-gether to come up with some-thing new to reactivate the area” said González.

The incident would not normally have attracted at-tention except for the fact that the woman was cross-ing one of the busiest and most notorious stretches on the island, the TF1 mo-torway near the Carrefour Shopping Centre in Añaza. A patrol rushed to the scene and spotted the woman, who seemed totally disori-ented and scared, standing in the middle of the mo-torway. Officers slowed the heavy traffic and took her by the hand to safety, be-fore calling an ambulance to drive her to hospital for a check-up.

‘Piedad mother’ sentence reduced

of separate offences, and has imposed a shorter sentence than the original nine months imposed in March. However, even though she will not spend

time in prison since this is her first conviction, Perera is likely to appeal to the Supreme Court to have the ruling overturned.

The chairman of a chil-dren’s rights association in the Canaries said the conviction was a ludicrous outcome to a case that should never have come to court. “The blinkered social services and courts were more interested in persecuting Soledad for over two years than looking after the best interests of the girl” said José Luis Calvo.

seagrass

Granadilla port hurdle clearedA major obstacle in the way of the building of the controversial new port in Granadilla has been cleared with the adoption by the Canarian Parliament of a new list of protected animal and plant species.

The new legislation was needed in the light of the prob-lems triggered by the damage the dredging and other con-struction work for the port would cause to marine life in the area, particular the ‘mead-ows’ of underwater plants known as seagrass located off the coast in El Médano and surrounding parts. In or-der to avoid problems with EU environment legislation, the Canarian government opted to take the seagrass out of the threatened species list but the decision was chal-lenged by conservation groups and brought to the attention of Brussels, whose funding is vital for the port project. Following the controversy, the government was forced to amend the list of protected species through an act of leg-islation, which was adopted after an acrimonious debate in Parliament.

been serving happy tourists for years, but no longer. Why? No transport.

If people were loath to drive (on the wrong side of the road for some of them) before, now with stricter driving laws, the reticence is even stronger. The buses that used to flood down these roads have been rerouted and the tourist train that could bring life back into the area, runs up to a five star hotel further up the road.

Let’s be honest, the type of people who get on a tourist train are more likely to want a pie and a pint that a Pimm’s and paté de foie gras. Why can’t the tourist train stop at the Salytien Centre where they are more likely to get what they want. Go past the train whilst it is at the hotel and see how many people even bother to get down.

Sun and sand is what the tourism here was based on, it doesn’t need to be the be all and end all, but it doesn’t have to be driven into a corner either.

Dear Editor

When is an accident not an accident?

All too often it is people who are dangerous, not the mountains. It is inappropriate to use the word ‘accident’ if the ‘accident’ could have been prevented, for example, if someone is injured, or dies, when skiing on snow slopes where avalanche warnings have closed those areas. Similarly we should always drive our cars aware that all too often pedestrians cross the road, without looking, in front of buses taking on passengers.

In the UK today, some mountain rescue teams say 75 per cent of their ‘accident’ callouts are for uninjured walkers who fail to notice the conditions, to abort their plans and to return to their base soon enough when:

Barranco del Infierno

• Darkness approaches

• The weather is obviously deteriorating rapidly

• Wearing only training shoes and jeans in severe snow conditions

• They have no mountain walking experience or training

Real accidents cannot be prevented. For example, an avalanche in the Himalayas, created another in a nearby valley which in turn caused another avalanche. The last one covered the mountaineers’ tents and some alpinists lost their lives.

Rarely has there been an accident in the Barranco del Infierno, in Adeje, which has been closed now for over six months. Repairs to the path, after it was damaged by heavy rainfall, were completed and the path was expected to open early this year, but recent heavy rains again damaged about five metres of the path. Until this work has been done the Barranco will remain closed, possibly until February/March of next year.

Always phone before arrival to confirm conditions and to book your walk: Tel 922 782885

between 8.30am and 4.00pm. (NB from 9am to 11am the phone is very busy and it may be difficult to get through.)

Rat (1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008)You can use the favourable energy to convince family, friends and colleagues, that your idea is worth working on. It is a good time to motivate people.

Ox (1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997, 2009)Do not insist too strenuously that all your conditions are fulfilled – this could cause you significant delay. Make compromises, even if you do not like it.

Tiger (1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986, 1998)There is no way, that you can always be the winner! Be a fair loser and you will win the respect of the whole team. Do not take too many risks now, but stay in safe waters.

Rabbit (1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999)There is no reason to feel insecure, when you are looking for love now. Take the first step and enjoy, what you have. You can be really proud of yourself.

Dragon (1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000)Do not criticise without a really good reason now. If you do not have the arguments to win, you’re better off saying nothing. Try to be as neutral as possible.

Snake (1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001)You should think about your priorities! Make sure to spend enough time with the people you care for instead of investing too much extra time on your work.

Horse (1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002)Too much ambition is not healthy for you now. Stay calm and do not make promises you cannot keep. You might lose your credibility if you go out on a limb.

Sheep (1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003You should really fight for your rights! If you don’t, all the credit will go to somebody else and nobody will ever know how brilliant you are.

Rooster (1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005)Should you feel a little insecure now, don’t be ashamed to show it. You can gain a lot of sympathy by not being always perfect. So do not hide your real feelings.

The WimPen company is a household name around the Canary

Islands.The enterprise evolved out of

the well known British concern Wimpey, after a management buyout in 1997. At the head of WimPen is Ivan Pengelly, who originally came to the is-lands as Regional Director for Wimpey in 1983. He brought with him, not only years of ex-perience in the construction business, but his personal un-derstanding of other cultures, already having lived in coun-tries such as Egypt, Venezuela, Pakistan and Spain.

Ivan began his career here looking after the first time-share resort in the Islands: Las Casitas in Lanzarote, as well as Las Rosas in Santiago de Teide, Tenerife. His move here was meant to be temporary, but 27 years later Tenerife is still his home and he is surrounded

on new projects and its good reputation”.

Diversification is the key; WimPen now not only man-ages timeshare resorts, but also residential and commu-nity projects, such as Pueblo Don Thomas in La Gomera. Providing a first-class service is also paramount. Ivan sees himself as a, “servant” of his clients and works hard to maintain standards.

On a personal level he does have a passion other than his work. He owns a small col-

its clients. Ivan has always be-lieved that it is important to keep moving forward and find new ways of dealing with the changing socio-economic cli-mate. For instance, timeshare owners now have the oppor-tunity to exchange their weeks between resorts, something that wasn’t available until last month. He is proud of what the company has achieved, still thoroughly enjoys his work, has no plans to retire yet and is making solid plans for the future. WimPen will, “build

lection of classic cars, mostly Jaguars, and regularly takes part in runs around the Islands.

He is a charismatic gentle-man who has played a sig-nificant role in the Island’s de-velopment. He also has high hopes for the archipelago’s fu-ture. Whilst the government’s plans to raise the standard of tourism here may not have im-mediately paid off, he believes that there will, eventually, be an up-turn.

Optimism and lateral think-ing are necessary tools to help us all through this crisis; it’s refreshing to encounter some-one with the ability to keep looking forward positively whilst being flexible enough to adapt to present circum-stances.

by his family, several of whom work in the company, based in Playa Paraiso.

WimPen has gone from strength to strength and much of this success can undoubted-ly be attributed to Mr Pengelly himself. He is a hands-on di-rector and is involved in the company’s business at all lev-els. He also, however, appre-ciates his staff’s strengths and is renowned for having created a stable working environment, something which is obviously appreciated as some employ-ees have worked with him for over 20 years.

The company weathered the bad press timeshare re-ceived during the eighties and nineties and Ivan fought hard to improve the industry. He is also suitably disparaging of the more dubious side of time-share and of the way some companies have tried to con-tinue making big profits. He acknowledges that some of the ‘holiday packages’ which are now being sold are, “less than moral”, and deceiving its clients has never been part of the company’s business prac-tice. Ivan does, in fact, believe wholeheartedly in transpar-ency and perhaps that is why WimPen is still so trusted by

Remove fish cages call

The report claims that fish cages are incompatible with human occupation

An expert report commissioned by the sector’s association, Ashotel, concludes that the giant cages are, “incompatible with the human use of beaches”, among other reasons due to the massive presence of nitrogen and phosphates generated by the fish-farming. Ashotel insists the impact of the cages, which produce thousands of tons of fish every year, is, “not just visual”, can lead to serious environmental harm and wants the cages to be towed much further out to sea to minimise the consequences on the shoreline throughout the south of the island.

Ashotel president, José Fernando Cabrera, affirmed, “marine aquaculture is an important economic activity for the Islands, but we should make the effort to site them in areas away from the coast so that they don’t have an environmental impact on the marine floor.” The study was prepared by the Sea Sciences department of the Las Palmas University of Gran Canaria and urges the Canarian Government to stick to an agreement reached on aquaculture within the pact for competitiveness and quality in Canarian tourism and signed in Fuerteventura in 2008. One of the conclusions reached by the study is that fish cages are incompatible with tourism for their visual impact and because the changes brought about in the water that surrounds them hinders its recreational use.

For this reason, Cabrera, rejected the future amplification of the fish cages in the cliff area of Los Gigantes, a tourist areas known as the Blue Lagoon. According to the President, the new installation would cause an enormous visual impact, cloud the water and attract sharks and dolphins. He also emphasised that the installation of additional cages is against the agreement reached by the sector with the Canaria Government.

Cabrera explained that the there are over 250 hotels in Arona, Adeje and Santiago del Teide which accommodate around 60 per cent of the island’s tourism and provide work for 40,000 people. “Tenerife has 200 kilometres of coast and there are more adequate areas to place the cages than off the best of the island’s beaches where the most tourism is,” he concluded.

The Santiago del Teide mayor, Juan Damián Gorrín, also put in his pennyworth agreeing that the cages should be in specially designated areas away from the tourist areas. “We have to back tourism which is the sector that at the moment is driving the Canarian economy,” he asserted.

Submarine environment and ecology professor, Ángel Luque affirmed that the environmental impact in an area where the protected bottle nosed dolphins live, would be considerable and that the nitrogen and phosphorous residues left in the sea after producing the proposed 1,000 tons a year of fish would be equivalent to increasing the human population by 20,000 people.

Matters Legal

By John Hatrick, Tenerife Solicitors

The Spanish tourist board has joined together with local companies, including The Daily Telegraph, to offer a taste of what Spain can offer to its visitors.

Following on from the successful event in Liverpool in April a further two events are scheduled in London and Edinburgh through-out the summer. Flamenco dancers, medieval food markets and giant paellas head the popu-larity stakes and many of the country’s regions will be taking part. This year the emphasis is on sport and there is an exhibition on Spain’s sporting history and a number of sports chal-lenges for football, horse riding, surfing, ten-nis, basketball, golfing and Formula One fans among others. Gastronomic offers include the

famous jamón Serrano, gazpacho soup, chees-es, olives, suckling pig, wine, sherry and liqueur tastings and the aforementioned paella. Paco Fernández will be amazing all with his virtu-osity on the Spanish guitar and various more modern upcoming stars will be performing in addition to the more tradition flamenco from Andalusia.

The events offered differ depending on the venue. If you register on line at www.atasteof-spain.co.uk/ they will keep you up to date with the news and you stand a chance of winning a case of Spanish wine.

A large percentage of our British clients making wills in Te-

nerife also have property or assets in the United Kingdom.

Many ask why it is necessary to make a Spanish Will when their English will already covers their worldwide assets. Whilst an English Will can administer Spanish assets, the procedure is long, complicated and will cost approximately four or five times the price of making a Spanish Will in the first place. As such, we recommend that all clients make a Will in each country covering their assets in that country only.

However, for those that have made a Will in each country, many fail to consider that conflicting Wills can can-cel each other out. One prob-lem we are increasingly seeing is that clients have often failed to revise their British Will whilst

Spanish and English wills – are yours valid?

making their Spanish Will. Unfortunately, many Spanish lawyers do not understand British laws or their effect on a Spanish Will.

A typical British Will states that the Will revokes or can-cels all previous testamentary dispositions. Unless this is ex-pressly limited to the United Kingdom then the British Will inadvertently cancels any Spanish Will made on an ear-lier date.

Alternatively, if both Wills are valid but the British Will leaves “all assets to X, Y, and Z” whilst the Spanish Will leaves the Spanish assets to A, B and C, then a clash can oc-cur (remember that the British Will in the above scenario is not limited to British assets, hence it inadvertently tries to deal with worldwide assets).

Where two Wills exist with conflicting provisions, then it is possible that both Wills may be deemed invalid in respect of those conflicting (Spanish)

gifts. The result is that the Spanish portion of the estate could end up being divided in accordance with government prescribed Intestacy Rules, whereby the assets may go to entirely different beneficiar-ies than those intended by the person making the Will.

In any scenario for Brits (val-id Will, conflicting Wills or no Will at all), the relevant British law will always apply to their testamentary affairs. Spain ap-plies the individual’s own na-tional laws to such matters. Only Spaniards are bound by Spanish testamentary laws (e.g. compulsory beneficiar-ies).

However in general he pointed out that, “sadly there is no awareness in the Canaries of the importance of security… the majority of businesses see it more as an expense than as an investment”. Unfortunately, especially with the economic crisis persuading some individuals into desperate measures, this is an attitude that may have to change.

T he new UK Conser-vative-Liberal Demo-cratic coalition gov-

ernment has as a priority the task of slashing the massive budget deficit of around £165 billion. There will have to be the toughest spending cuts for decades and tax increases to achieve this.

An emergency Budget will be delivered on 22nd June. Prior to the election, the parties were not open about what tax rises lay ahead. Immediately following the coalition deal the following was agreed:

Inheritance tax During his pre-election cam-

paign, the Conservatives had pledged to raise the inheri-tance tax threshold, currently £325,000, to £1 million. This has been dropped, in effect keeping more Britons liable to the 40 per cent inheritance tax rate and robbing the wealthier of a welcome tax break.

Tax rises hit the wealthierTax-free allowanceThe tax-free allowance on

income will rise to £10,000 from £6,745, at a cost of £17 billion according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

National Insurance Con-tributions

The one per cent rise in NICs for employees earning over £20,000, which was an-nounced by the previous La-bour government, will stay to help pay for the tax free allowance increase.

Capital gains taxA substantial increase in

capital gains tax is planned on non-business assets such as second homes, buy-to-let properties, other investments and shares. The CGT rate could rise from 18 per cent to 40 or 50 per cent on the sale of some as-sets. The tax-free threshold of £10,100 on investment income could also be lowered.

VATAlthough this wasn’t men-

tioned, most economists feel that VAT will undoubtedly be increased from 17.5 per cent to at least 20cent.

Other tax increases put in place by the previous govern-ment, including an additional

increase in NICs and the with-drawal of pension tax relief for high earners, are due to come into force next year.

European countries with in-debtedness are under pressure to tackle the problem and cut their deficits. Spain has made a commitment to take significant additional consolidation mea-

sures in 2010 and 2011. The government has announced a new austerity budget with a five per cent pay cut for public work-ers, a freeze on pensions and by axing investment spending by more than €6 billion. The tax rate on savings income has already increased and VAT will rise by two per cent to 18 per cent in July.

Before the UK election, the National Institute for Economic and Social Research said that the next government must raise taxes by six pence in the pound and freeze tax allowances for the economy to return to health. Many economists warn that taxes will have to rise to reduce Britain’s debt and it will not be down to cuts alone. It will take

Dear DoctorI have a 4-month old baby

and I have some questions about sleeping habits. Should I wake her up for feedings? How many naps does a baby need? When should my baby start sleeping through the night?

SIncerely,lorraIne

Dear Lorraine,

If you’re like most new mums, you’re probably so sleep deprived that you’ll be nodding off half way through this. It’s tough, but we all live through it. Most babies will start sleeping through the night at about four months of age. You won’t get an uninterrupted stretch of the baby sleeping 10-12 hours, but you will get about five hours and then another good uninterrupted stretch after a night feeding. Those five hours will feel luxurious. Don’t worry if your baby is four months old and still isn’t sleeping that long. You can help her along by letting her sleep at night, not waking her to feed, and by keeping things dark and quiet.

Normally when babies are first born, everything is eat, sleep, poop, eat, sleep, poop, so you don’t really count any of that sleeping as naps. But somewhere between two and six months of age, babies tend to settle into a three-naps-a-day pattern, where each nap can last an hour or

two, before going to a one-nap-a-day pattern after their first birthday. Most kids lose their need for naps by about five years of age.

I don’t recommend waking babies for night time feedings, because you want them to sleep (and you too!). However, I would suggest you wake them for night feedings in their first couple of weeks if they haven’t yet gained back their birth weight - babies tend to lose 10 per cent of their weight after they’re born. Also, if they’re sleeping more in the day than the night, I do suggest waking them so they don’t go more than four hours without eating.

Overall, I suggest not waking babies at night so they can find their own sleep schedule. And you generally don’t have to wake them in the day either, because most will wake on their own. If you notice that the baby is sleeping for longer stretches during the day, then I would start waking them in the day, so they don’t get night and day mixed up. Give your baby the opportunity to have a routine. Try to have some semblance of a routine and schedule, but it doesn’t have to be right down to the minute.

It’s also helpful to know that once babies get to the point where they’re eating more in the daytime they don’t need to wake and eat at night. But don’t overfeed the baby to encourage her to sleep through the night. Some parents try to push more formula, breast milk, or baby food on the baby right before sleep and that can backfire because the baby might not settle in well. Wait until your

baby settles into a pattern where he naturally eats more in the daytime.

Always put your baby on his back to sleep, never on his side or tummy. There’s a higher risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome/Cot death) if they’re on their tummy or their side (they can roll onto their stomach if they’re lying on their side).

Dear Doctor,I have herpes and don’t

know how to treat it. What are the options?

name WItHHeld

Treatment with antiviral drugs can help people who are bothered by genital herpes and outbreaks stay symptom-free longer. These drugs can also reduce the severity and duration of symptoms when they flare up. Drug therapy is not a cure, but it can make living with the condition easier.

There are three major drugs commonly used to treat genital herpes symptoms: acyclovir, famciclovir, and valacyclovir. For mulas applied to the surface of the skin provide little benefit, and doctors don’t usually recommend them.

Initial treatment. If you have symptoms such as sores when you’re first diagnosed with genital herpes, your doctor will usually give you a brief course (7-10 days) of antiviral therapy to relieve them or prevent them from getting worse. Your doctor

may keep you on the drugs longer if your sores don’t heal in that time. After the first treatment, work with your doctor to come up with the best way to take antiviral therapies. There are two options:

Intermittent treatment. Your doctor may prescribe an antiviral drug for you to keep on hand in case you have another flare-up; this is called intermittent therapy. You can take the pills for two to five days as soon as you notice sores or when you feel an outbreak coming on. Sores will heal and disappear on their own, but taking the drugs can make the symptoms less severe and make them go away faster.

Suppressive treatment. If you have outbreaks often, you may want to consider taking an antiviral drug every day. Doctors call this suppressive therapy. If you have more than five to six outbreaks a year it may be an option for you as it can significantly reduce the number of outbreaks. Some people who take the antiviral drugs daily have no outbreaks at all.

There is no set number of outbreaks per year that doctors use to decide when someone should s tar t suppressive therapy. Rather, the determining factor is if they are severe enough to interfere with your daily life.

Side ef fects with these drugs are considered mild, and health experts believe these drugs are safe in the long term. People taking suppressive therapy should see their doctor at least once a year to decide if they should continue. You may find taking the pills ever y day to be inconvenient, the drugs may not work for you, or you may naturally have fewer outbreaks as time goes on. Your doctor can help you make treatment choices to suit your needs.

do wrong to get it rightIf you drive a car you may have experienced

this situation. You want to enter a roundabout taking the left lane. As you are coming closer you wonder why the left lane is almost empty while there are 12 cars waiting to enter the right lane. Then you begin to realise why. Nobody will let you in. After taking the risk and rushing to the inside lane you encounter the next problem, nobody wants to let you out.

House Calls with

People just do not understand how the roundabout works. If you enter the right lane you should have to leave via first exit, whereas if you enter the second you can leave wherever you want. But no, there seem to be no rules and instead we have accidents on a daily basis here in Los Cristianos.

Let’s say after you finally managed to leave the roundabout without an accident you need to go shopping. With your trolley full you have to choose a till. One is free and in three others there are from three to eight people waiting. Which one would you choose? The empty one? Actually many people will actually go to one of the other queues – it seems to be human nature to congregate where there are other people. If others are doing something it must be worth copying. Try this – walk down a street with someone and arrange for both of you to raise your head and look up at the same time - I bet all the people around will look up, too.

So why am I telling you this and what does it have to do with sport?

People always do what others do. Humans are social. If everybody enters the roundabout in the same manner, why not do it too? If there is a long queue somewhere you want to be in there too, a.s.o.

Now we watch our nutrient habits and the routine we use in the gym. Why on earth are 80 per cent of people training in the gym following the same programme? No one will have the constant success they desire. Why are 75 per cent of Britons overweight (2007-University of Southhampton)? Because they all do what everybody else does. Eat junk food.

What you have to do now is to change your habits. Be a trendsetter instead of a hanger-on. Swim upriver up instead of down. Ask yourself if you want to be like everybody else, overweight, out of shape with low performance levels or do you want to belong to the 20 per cent of the people who are fit, in good shape and achieving high performance levels? In other words: just do wrong (against the trend) to get it right!

Who’s where?Whether you’re a fan of the

English Premiership or La Liga in Spain, many of the players you see week in week out will be playing in their national sides in South Africa. Many former team mates could also end up playing against each other, and if Liverpool and Spain striker Fernando Torres gets his wish,

in the final. Torres told the English Express newspaper that his dream final would be England versus Spain adding that his Liverpool team mate Steven Gerard could be one of the stars of the tournament. “Spain v England would be the perfect World Cup 2010 final”, he told the paper, adding that they were probably the second best team in the tournament

(no prizes for guessing who is top in his opinion). “It’s hard to see a weakness in the England team. All they need to do now is break the mental barrier that going out at the quarter-final stage of tournaments brings,” he concluded.

If that were to happen other Spanish players lining out for their country on July 11th in the Soccer City Stadium in

Johannesburg, currently plying their trade in the Premiership would include Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal) and Reina (Liverpool).

In fact the English league boasts the greatest representa-tion in this World Cup, with 138 players travelling to represent their respective teams. Germany is second with 94, Italy with 93 and Spain with 73. Players from European leagues (not coun-

tries) dominate the Finals. Club by club, as we go to press

Chelsea has 16 players chosen to represent their individual countries (it was 17 until Germany’s captain Ballack was injured), followed by Barcelona (14), Real Madrid (12), Arsenal (12), Liverpool (12), Ajax (11), Bayern Munich (11), Juventus (11), Inter Milan (11) and Tottenham (10).

The Soccer Experience 7s World Cup will be held in the Las Torres Sports Complex, Adeje on June 19th and 20th and there is still time to register a nation with the likes of Scandinavia, Holland, Russia, France so far not being represented, and there is also a need for a few more Irish and Welsh players to come forward and strengthen the sides already registered, so if you would like to help an existing nation or enter your very own contact us on 654200470, email: [email protected] or check out the website www.soccerexperience.com for more info on the tournament or any of our weekly leagues in Southern Tenerife. Please check the website for any possible changes to the dates and times as they are subject to change!

Even if you don’t want to play please come down over the weekend to support your country in winning at least some kind of World Cup this summer!!!!!

Songs for glory

any great football competition needs some-thing to sing along to, and there’s more than a few Canarian-based ar-tistes offering a selection to choose from.

Welcome to the 2010 World Cup is the result of the combined forces of some of the Islands’ journey-men musicians, instigated by Joe Ngale, originally from Equatorial Guinea. After a trip to Cannes for the Midem music conference Ngale came back to Tenerife and enlisted the help of vocalist/composer Ronnie Canada, a soul man from Cleveland, Italian born producer and songwriter Matteo Malavasi, and Capetown native James Darling. The song is currently available on iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/wel-come-to-2010-south-afri-can/id367011011).

For England fans one to listen out for is Get Up for England, written by Darren Clunes and Gary Mac, and recorded in Jubal Studios in Las Américas. Check out the song and video on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=altXX7Ct8PU) or catch the duo performing as Smashed at Leonardo’s six nights a week.

Vicente del Bosque’s final 23 for Spain contained two plusses for fans of Canarian footballers.

It would have been more of a surprise if David Silva, the

Gran Canarian midfielder who plays for Valencia, and was one of the stars of Euro 2008, had been left out. His skills and talent are in no doubt and with over 30 international appearances already under his cap he is a vital member of the team. Born in Arguineguín, he has scored six times for his country.

When Spain’s manager del Bosque announced his

pre-World Cup team of 30 players two of the inclusions from the

ThE RED ARMY RECRUITS

Pedro and Silva flying the flag

Barcelona squad, goalkeeper Víctor Valdés and Pedro Ro-dríguez, were expected. How-ever many did think that when it came to the crunch the ex-Ma-drid manager wouldn’t actually choose either of the them for the final 23 – but how wrong can you be. Choosing, as he said, with his head and his heart, he decided to give Valdés and the young Tenerife player Pedrito the call-up. The striker from

Abades has been the season’s biggest success story, and made world football history during the season by becoming the only player to score in six different club competitions at national and international level.

Both players are excellent at scoring when it matters

most, and could make the dif-ference in any one of Spain’s games.

Say goodbye to the cold wet weather and hello to the warm sunshine. Spring and Summer is

the perfect time for a new hair colour! 2010 Spring Summer Hair Colour Trends are warm and natural looking with well blended highlights.

Blondes - they should be golden and warm tones that are well blended. Platinum blonde can be a good look if done right and kept from looking brassy. If you have blonde hair, darker lowlights add more contrast, also helping to avoid noticeable roots.

Redheads - this Spring/Summer 2010, natural looking shades of red hair are in. If you prefer a bolder red go for shades of plum or copper. To really spice up the redhead look, add some golden or pale blonde highlights.

Brunettes - hazelnut, coffee and caramel tones are the look for Spring and Summer 2010. Highlights must be seamless and well blended, not bold and brassy. If you have light brown hair or even dark blonde hair, blonde highlights can add depth and volume to your hair.

Highlights

Blonde highlights will give a boost to fair and fine, mousy and monotone hair. A generous scattering of fine woven bleached highlights two or three shades lighter than your natural base tone (particularly through the top sections and around the hairline) will create a brilliant blonde effect.

If you’re fair haired with an ivory complexion you can choose from either the cool or warm tones. If your skin has pink tones you’re best sticking to the ash blonde and vanilla tones while creamy, yellow-tinged skins suit warm golden shades.

Brunettes wishing to add some highlights will find that the most flattering option is to focus on having them placed lightly around the face. Stick to rich colours such as honey and golden blondes for a sun-kissed look. Redheads can have either golden tones or pale, bleached highlights.

Spring and Summer hair colourSBy Samantha Pengelly

HairGolden rules

1. Go for multi-tone highlights so that your colour has more of a natural look. 2. Blonde actually does fade! Maintain your highlights using blonde enhancing shampoos. 3. Highlighted hair can become porous - use a weekly treatment to help restore condition. 4. Top up your parting on every other salon visit, this will prevent over-colouring and is more cost effective. 5. Never overlap your colour applications - this is what causes over-colouring and damage.

Styling tips

Plait hair loosely during the day to reveal a sexy, dishevelled wave in the evening then add a flower with a grip onto the side of your hair.

Simple, stylish ponytails look fabulous on everyone. Pull your hair back into a high ponytail to keep it off your neck. Then take a section from the ponytail and wrap it around the band and secure in place.

Play around with hair accessories like hair clips, head bands and sparkly grips. This is a great look that can be worn day or night on long or short hair.

Thinking of the big chop? Go for a style with texture, movement, body and choppy layers. Finish the look off nicely with slices of colour using tones such as caramels, creamy blondes and golds.

Loose curls can be a beautiful way to style your hair and they’re so easy to create. Curls and waves can be achieved by using heated rollers or straightening irons. Make sure you give your hair a blast with the cool setting on your dryer to allow the curls to separate as you don’t want it looking perfectly set.

Nothing says summer like a halo of highlights, it’s the fashion accessory for the al fresco lifestyle. Don’t be afraid to try something new this summer!

Following on the success of the Elton John and Rod Stewart concerts, Sun Life

Festival Canaries have confirmed that Simply Red will play their only Spanish date in Costa Adeje golf, as part of their Farewell Tour.

The company that have finally brought top class acts to South Tenerife have done it again, and Mick Hucknall will bring thousands to this excellent natural

amphitheatre for what promises to be a great show on July 20th.

According to one of the festival or-ganisers, Jordi esplugas, “this is a new challenge for our company to assist the tourist industry, and which, among oth-er things, will work to promote and lift the level of satisfaction of visitors and of course residents in the area”.

The group are counting on support from various sectors within the industry and have already got the firm backing of Adeje council, and hope shortly to

announce that of the tourism and cul-tural departments of the regional gov-ernment.

“Now more than ever we need a good tourism product”, says esplugas. “Sun and beach, as we are all too aware now-adays, isn’t enough to compete with other destinations” adding that events such as the Simply red concert give the south of the island that extra edge.

Simply red have notched up 25 years of hits in their time, with sales of over 55 million records and 31 number ones.

The ESTA theatre group’s last two productions in March, The Fumed Oak, and The

Angel Intrudes seem to have been well-received, and the casts, includ-ing several new members, certainly enjoyed themselves.

The committee has already chosen the plays for the next production, which will be in November.

They have also been asked to perform at several secondary schools in June, playing to the sixth form students.

The group’s first play-reading evening for some time took place recently, and was enjoyed by all, with a selection of short extracts from the plays of Nöel coward, and a one-act play entitled Diary of a Fading Rose.

To continue with eSTA’s aims of do-nating all proceeds to local charities, sev-eral committee members recently visited ProBoSco in La orotava to present a cheque for €1,000. They were extremely

vienna praise for Music FestivalNext year’s Canary Islands Classical Music Festival has been already praised by the conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra as one of the best in its 27-year history.

Fabio Lisi announced that his world-famous orches-tra will give four concerts, two in Las Palmas and two in Tenerife, in late January 2011 as part of the Festival, which was formally present-ed in the Spanish Embassy in the Austrian capital.

Sharing centre stage on next year’s programme will be Russian soprano Anna Netrebko, who was forced to pull out of the presen-tation due to a family ill-ness. The Festival will also feature, for the first time ever, a specific programme aimed at children, including concerts by the St Florian’s Children’s Choir, also from Austria.

WorLd Cup song

Bangers & MashWell known in the south of Tenerife for many years, brothers Aaron and Leon Cormack have recorded a World Cup 2010 song for England.

They have over their mu-sical career created a sound which embodies all the vir-tues of pop music past and present. Harmony, melody and lyrics powered by a rock band. Following in the steps of greats such as World in Motion, Vindaloo and Three Lions, their song, Bangers & Mash which was penned by DJ Marcus Day, has been described by the music and radio industry as the next big England Anthem, an anthem for the people. And when England score, we will all be going Bangers & Mash! Bangers & Mash is supported by Waynes World, www.way-nesworld.com and has been chosen from many others to be the official Linekers Group World Cup Song 2010.

The Cormacks have recent-ly been to the UK to record the accompanying video which features many celeb-rities. You can hear the song on Oasis FM, or go online to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiWEA5fUjUg.

Adding an electric socket, part 1

Pets / DIY

You can never have enough electric sockets! If you are

undertaking major electri-cal work, you need a quali-fied installer. However, if you just want to add a socket or two, you can do it yourself, provided you follow a few simple rules.

Pic 1First, decide where you want your socket. To comply with regulations, it must be at least 50cm above the floor or below the ceiling and 20cm from any door or window.

Pic 2You will be running the cable through a conduit.

Pic 3The table shows the recommended sizes. Remember that each socket has three cables.

Pic 4You need to choose the correct size cable and conduit for the type of socket you are installing. For example, the diagram shows that you need 1.5mm cable for a lighting circuit, but 2.5mm for sockets suitable for 10 amp appliances.

Pics 5 and 6The usual cable colours are shown here, yellow and green for the Earth, blue for neutral and brown for the live. However, live wires may also be grey or black.

More in the next edition.

If you have any questions about these or other DIY techniques, contact Robert on 922 814 073 or 605 469 352 email [email protected].

Men cookingA new course to teach men their way around the kitchen has started in San miguel de Abona.

It is part of the council’s policies on equality and there are currently 15 male students learning

cookery basics every Thursday in the Tamaide cul-tural centre. According to the councillor responsible, Juana Donate, it is more than just a cookery course, but a chance for the men to discuss and reflect over the importance of sharing the domestic jobs equally. In the first class they concentrated on the potato and the students learned 10 different ways of preparing that Canarian staple.

This recipe uses soused herrings, but you can use mussels or slices

of pickled trout (without sauce) as an alternative. Nowadays we look at ways of reducing salt in our diet,

A tale of two monksThere is still much debate about who actually invented champagne, and it centres around three individuals, an english scientist, called Dr Christopher Merret and two Benedictine monks.

In 1662 Dr Merret, documented that the addition of sugar and

spices sets off a second fermenta-tion. This may have been an ac-cidental discovery with the sugars added intending to sweeten the wine or hide spoilage.

Some forty years later in Cham-pagne, Benedictine monks Frere

Jean Oudart and Dom Pierre Peri-gnon of Epernay shared their expertise to deliberately attempt to make sparkling wine. Nowadays, whilst historians may debate the origins of Champagne, its produc-tion is a craft the French have per-fected ever since. The British did make one significant contribution, inventing a bottle that was strong enough to withstand the pressure of champagne bubbles.

Through the years the bubbly tipple has been associated with

some wonderful stories about the Ladies of Champagne. Two of those stand out. Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, only 27 when her hus-band died she took over the reigns after his death to become the first great business woman and one of the richest women of her time. When Jacques Bollinger died in 1941, Lily Bollinger took over the family champagne business, expanded production, bought more vineyards and set about a marketing campaign to sell more bottles.

On the glamorous side famous beauties associated with cham-

pagne include Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Marlene Dietrich, Princess Margaret, Jackie Kennedy, and Kate Moss.

If a new restaurant can not only survive the present economic crisis but do so well that it opens two new venues, it’s

got to be a clue that the owners of El Barril have got something very right indeed.

The aroma of fresh produce greets you in the spacious surroundings of all three restaurants so that you know you are in for a treat before you even look at the menu. Their multinational staff speak english, German, russian, Spanish and Latvian and the owners affirm, “we are working the russian way, smiling serving the customer quickly, but taking our time when the food requires that”.

in the meat restaurants, try chicken or pork shashlik (skewers), share a huge leg of lamb or

RestauRant Review

Roll out the barrelel Barril

for those with a big appetite, the smoked pork shank is highly recommended. Two superb and unusual sauces of Georgian origin, Tkemaly plum sauce and Satsibely tomato sauce make your choice of meat dish unique.

In the fish restaurant the emphasis is on a fusion of Canarian fish, freshly caught by local fishermen and Nordic style preparation, grilled, baked or smoked. Choose from sea bass, gilthead bream, sole, trout, salmon and halibut amongst others. if sea food is your preference there is stuffed squid, squid rings, whitebait, lobster and several varieties of prawns. Ask for their special and excellent coriander and garlic dipping sauce, fresh and light on the palate and perfect with fish.

Start your meal with a superb cocktail prepared by their, “passionate and professional” barman and to complement your food choice all three restaurants offer an excellent selection of Canarian and Spanish wines, and staff qualified to advise you if required, or draft english, German, Belgian and weizen beers. Don’t forget to leave room for a dessert selection chosen from the best in europe, Austrian Sachertorte, italian dark chocolate profiteroles, apple tart or a slice of Black Forest Gateau.

Choose to sit inside or out in the relaxed, friendly, family atmosphere with the wooden barrel tables that give the restaurants their name. All the venues are definitely pro-children with special kids’ menu choices as well as high chairs and paper and crayons for drawing, allowing all the family to enjoy their meal. They can also cater for private parties and banquets for up to 80 people.

The original el Barril opened in Torviscas (922 715 858) and continues to serve their fabulous

meat selection to a delighted public at Unit 4, Avenue españa.

The two new restaurants the first specialising in meat and the other in fish and shellfish have just opened next to each other at Unit 8-10 and unit 5 Calle Luís Díaz de la rosada in Las vistas, Los Cristianos ( 922 795 687 and 922 792 314 respectively).

The ‘neighbours’ work together as one unit, so that meat and fish can be enjoyed in both by discerning diners.

All the restaurants are open every day from noon to midnight and whichever venue you choose, you can be assured of an excellent welcome and a superb meal, reminding you that eating well is one of the most valued pleasures of life. Take this review with you on your first visit for a free glass of wine or sangria to start your dining experience with a Spanish swing.

In days gone by tiles were rarely considered some-thing to be pondered

over when decorating your home. Certainly in the UK and Ireland it’s only in recent years that true tile style came into its own.

Our southern European neighbours have been way ahead of us in the creation of a world of ceramics for home and garden decoration that is as exciting and colourful as it is practical and desirable, especially in warmer climes. At Chafiras they have taken the tile and ceramic option to a new level, and with the opening of a new showroom in Las Chafiras you have

display clients can see and choose baths, shower trays, bathroom sinks – everything you need for your bathroom as well as a selection of sinks and taps for your kitchen.

In the North? Do make sure you see the new three storey showrooms recently opened in La Laguna, (Santa Cruz-La Laguna motorway, km 4.5) where you will see the same excellent selection of ceramics and furniture on offer. Different spaces for homes with a difference.

The Chafiras name, more

bathroom displays adorn the centre, and around the edge, bathroom furniture in a variety of different models, finishes

endless choices when it comes to home decoration.

With easily the largest and most modern showrooms in the Canary Islands, Chafiras offer separate room displays enabling clients to see the latest designs and trends and easily imagine these in their own homes. Clean minimalist layout allows the client to personalise their space, with expert advice on hand to create their desired environment.

On the lower floor you will find an expansive range of Spanish and Italian ceramic tiles in ‘real’ space, making room visualisation easier. The upper floor is dedicated to the world of bathrooms and occupies 650 square metres. Complete

than 30 years in existence, has built up a reputation for quality and choice, offering home owners and builders’ products that combine functionality and style.

For all your DIY and building needs they are the number one choice for ceramics and tiles, construction, hardware, furniture and home decoration and accessories. With seven showrooms in strategic points in Tenerife they are the acknowledged market leader in product supply and service.

If you live in a block of apartments or an urbani-sation you will already be

aware of the importance of having a good administrator for your community owner’s association.

Ideally, the administrator should be an impartial individual or body, to ensure fair and equal treatment to all neighbours and to help to avoid personality clashes within a community.

Universalis is a professional com-pany that specialises in the admin-istration of community owner’s associations. In the Canaries, they are based in the South of Tenerife, but they have offices all over the country in Santander, Bilbao, Barcelona, Madrid, Almería, Palma de Mallorca and Valencia.

Their General Manager, Carlos León, informed us that the com-pany has a dedicated working group of lawyers, economists, so-cial science experts, fiscal advice specialists and architects whose job it is to advise and manage the communities with the maximum level of professionalism within the parameters of strict adherence to the law.

“For us, transparency is very im-portant,” he affirmed, “which is why we offer the individual own-ers within the communities, com-plete access to the information of their community on Internet via our web page, www.grup-ouniversalis.es. That way, even if you aren’t in the country, you can see how your community is do-ing using Internet. “We carry out a study of the accounts of each community and propose improve-

Charity event for a better societythere are many people and families in spain and across the world who are fighting daily to get a home, clothing and food to survive.

A tough and difficult reality which had worsened owing to the economic situa-

tion we are living through. Many institutions are giving up all their time and effort to help and better the living conditions of those who most need it. One such institution is the Canarian Cáritas Diocesan, which has a total of 12 projects in the province of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Their work is exemplary, among other things offering completely free food and clothing and in some cases accom-modation to the people who attend their centres. The end objective is to construct a fairer and more equal society. The Canarian Cáritas Diocesan work daily to help those who are most in need and are able to carry out their work thanks to the donations and help they receive.

With the intention of extending their social commitment and to do their bit in the

fight against poverty, the Sheraton Salobre Golf Resort and Spa, will be providing food during two weeks to the Centro Caipsho, that the Canarian Cáritas Diocesan has in the south of Gran Canaria. “It’s important that the companies and hotels, help the most needy, especially in times as difficult as these,” commented the General manager of the hotel, Mr. Haim Dutmezguine.

The hotel’s message to everybody is that it is the duty of all of us to cooperate and

be part of the improvement of our society - don’t be left behind.

Professional communal management

A professional administrator is essential to your community association

ments with the objective of op-timising the resources available and obtaining the best results. Our main task within the com-munities is to end debt prob-lems via various fast and effi-cient means.”

Universalis has the advantage of agreements at a national lev-el with various different com-panies, whose purpose is to benefit the owners within the communities. For more infor-mation, call 922 138 317 and their team will be delighted to attend to any queries you may have.

The Toyota RAV4 2010

Three engines are available: a 2.0-litre Valvematic petrol, a significantly revised 2.2-litre D-4D diesel, and a 2.2 D-CAT 150 diesel. The 2.0 Valvematic is available with Toyota’s new Multidrive S continuously variable transmission. The 2.2 D-CAT 150, using Toyota’s advanced clean diesel DPNR catalyst system, is equipped with a new six-speed automatic.

With the 2.2 litre D-4D 150 engine, RAV4 became the first in its class to achieve CO2 emissions below 160g/km, returning 154g/km and class-leading fuel economy, with an average 48.7mpg, an improvement of 14 per cent on the previous D-4D unit.

The Toyota RAV4 inspired a new market segment at its launch in 1994 and now the third genera-tion has set new benchmarks with premium levels of driving performance, quality, passenger

comfort, equipment and safety, reinforced with higher equipment specifications and new and revised engines and transmissions developed with Toyota Optimal Drive technology, which give strong per-formance with improved fuel economy and emission levels.

The powerful new 2.0-litre Valvematic engine delivers 156bhp and 198Nm of torque. CO2 emissions are down 16 per cent to 177g/km and fuel economy is up by 20 per cent at 37.7mpg (combined cycle).

One of the appeals of the original RAV4 was excellent on-road performance. Over the years this quality has been continually refined and now RAV4 reaches a new level with the introduction of Active Torque Control all-wheel drive which continuously monitors and controls the transfer of torque between the front and rear wheels to achieve optimum grip and handling. The ratio can range from full

front-wheel drive to a 55:45 front-to-rear balance.

RAV4 is also the first vehicle in its segment to offer Integrated Active Drive, combining and coordinating Active Torque Control AWD, Vehicle Stability Control Plus (VSC+) and Electric Power Steering (EPS) to help bring the vehicle under control if the start of a skid or slide is detected. Further introductions include Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) and, on automatics, Downhill Assist Control (DAC), which applies braking pressure on steep descents without the wheels locking. RAV4 also benefits from new suspension design with MacPherson struts at the

front and double wishbones at the rear. Toyota’s Easy Flat system allows the rear seats (split 60:40) to be folded flat into the floor with a single lever action. Numerous handy

storage spaces have also been created throughout.

Sales figuresDespite the pessimism

that has reigned on the Spanish stock market in the last two months, the authorities insist that the signs of an economic recovery can still be seen, this time in the form of a noticeable rise in sales of new cars in the Canaries in the first half of May.

The latest figures show that sales increased by just under 18 per cent compared to the same period in 2009. The 1,036 vehicles registered give cause for optimism that the sector may be emerging from the doldrums, says the regional asociation of car dealers. However, it warns that the end of the current government incentives will inevitably cause a major slump in business.

The charges relate to services between 2007 and 2009 and the councillor for citizen safety, Manuel reverón, has warned that, “this money will have to be gathered somehow”. Charges in force since 2008 are a €300 fine for abandoning a vehicle and €6 for every day that it spends in the pound.

over 300 cars were abandoned in 2009 and in the year to date 110 complaints have been filed No figures are available for the total amount collected for fines during the period in question but new and probably higher charges are expected to be announced in the near future.

BoxingBy George Reed

Some say that the boxing game in Britain is at an all time low.

At present we only hold two major belts.

Heavyweight David Haye, retains his WBA title and Amir Khan success-fully held his light welterweight WBA belt after his excellent display against New Yorker Paulie Malignaggi at Madison Square Garden. However, we also have our young Olympians going great guns in the professional ranks, and a few more mature fight-ers on the verge of world title fights.

In the 120 year history of the world welterweight crown only four British fighters have held the title and there’s never been a more talented quartet than Ted ‘Kid’ Lewis, John H Stracey, Lloyd Honeyghan and Ricky Hatton. I believe that Sheffield’s Kell Brook will be added to that dis-tinguished list. At 22 he’s already a highly skilled boxer, a switch-hit-ter with dynamite in his right hand, holder of the British welterweight ti-tle and the top contender for Manny Pacquiao’s WBO belt.

Professional boxers aren’t usually noted for their educated brain and articulate use of language. An excep-tions is Welshman Nathan Cleverly, who graduates this month with a mathematics degree from Cardiff University. Nathan turned profes-sional the year he entered universi-ty and over the past four years has clocked up a pro boxing record of 19 straight wins which includes winning the British and European light heavy-weight title belts. With more experi-ence I feel he can be a big star.

Another exception is Matthew Macklin, once a law undergraduate at Coventry University, who knocked out Finland’s Amin Asikainen to win the European middleweight title. He’s moved to America to be coached by Freddie Roach who has done great things with Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan and many other world champi-ons. Roach is already impressed by his toughness and his work rate and is pushing for him to get a world title with the American Kelly Pavlik.

Watching Sheffield’s Ryan Rhodes successfully defend his European light middleweight title against the Italian Luca Messi impressed me. I admire his guts and dedication. After los-ing two title bids in the late 1990s he did what very few boxers would do, started all over again with four-round fights. The 33 year old warrior is now on the verge of another world title shot after all these years. He de-serves it and I wish him luck as I do for all the other British fighting men aiming for the top.

Dave Stell was rushed to Intensive Care after his Saturday doubles game. He is now on the general ward. On behalf of all the bowlers, I wish you a speedy and complete recovery Dave.

It has been a strange couple of weeks since the disappointment of

relegation for CD Tenerife.

Just after relegation, club President Miguel Concepción held an eagerly awaited press conference. A stunned silence gripped the Heliodoro stadium media facility as the President launched into an attack on the local media, blaming them in part for the failure of the team during the last season and for “lacking respect” towards his leadership. He criticised the “young reporters” for their lack of experience and said he was disappointed that only one day after the relegation radio commentators were already criticising his leadership, which was, he argued, an attack on the institution of CD Tenerife as a whole, something that he would not allow. He also com-mentated that every club presi-dent since the 80’s has left the club through the back door af-ter being hounded out by the press.

One thing to take into account is that in 2006 the current board took over a struggling club with huge debts of €42 million and low crowds. With no other tak-ers Concepción, as the lead-ing shareholder, was obliged to take control of the Club. Having taken over CD Tenerife in January 2006 the team just managed to retain their second division status at the end of that

campaign before consolidat-ing their position with two top half of the table finishes whilst slowly reducing their debt and promotion followed at the end of the 2008/2009 season with the debt halved to €24 in four years.

The harsh reality of life with the big boys soon set in as Tenerife only managed to sign a few fringe players pre-season, mainly due to the embargo im-posed on the club by the tax au-thorities which meant that they did not receive any TV money for the season, which amount-ed to €14 million (in the same division FC Barcelona and Real Madrid earn a staggering €250 million per season for TV rights compared to the €14 million for all other clubs).

At the press conference the president admitted that all had made mistakes but he could not have done any more. Regarding the lack of reinforcements dur-ing the mid-winter transfer window he said that football director Santiago Llorente had limited funds but he could not find anyone that would im-prove the squad.

The announcement of the non-renovation of Oltra’s con-tract surprised everyone but football director Santiago Llorente decided that the club needed a “new direction”. Oltra left CD Tenerife as a hero after guiding the team to pro-motion with some great at-tacking football. His downside

was the tactics used at away matches which ultimately led to Tenerife’s relegation with only six away points all season.

Others followed, begin-ning with centre-half Culebras, widely tipped to join Wigan in England, holding a press con-ference after the team’s last training session, a tearful fare-well that could not be conclud-ed due to the high emotions of the player. Also to be axed were Richi, Martinez, Saizar and Ayoze has signed a deal with La Liga outfit Sporting Gijon.

Despite the sad ending on the pitch it must be said that one thing that has shone through has been the Tenerife support. Averaging over 19,000 specta-tors at the Heliodoro Stadium in Santa Cruz and often tak-ing hundreds to matches on the mainland they have been a real credit to the club culminat-ing in just under 2,000 flying to Valencia on the last day of the season. Spanish sports paper Marca voted the Tenerife fans sixth best in the country.

One thing I will always re-member is hours after the heart breaking relegation at Valencia hundreds of dejected support-ers were queuing up at the air-port for their return flights. Out of the blue appeared the team, heads down, sheepishly making their way through the terminal. Perhaps they were not sure how the fans would react after the defeat and the deception.

Without fuss the blue and white clad crowd parted to let the team through with applause and back slapping the order of the day. The players had not let us down and had fought well to take it to the last day.

Season winners, CD Tenerife fans…
