The Orquesta Sinfóni-ca de Tenerife has an-nounced it will offer 18 concerts for the 2013-2014 season.

It is the second time the orchestra will perform under the direction of the Polish

master Michal Nesterowicz. The season will run from October 4 to June 27 2014, and includes a total of 18 concerts and it will incorpo-rate high profile soloists and international directors.

The launch event was at-

tended by the President of the Council, Ricardo Melchior; the island director of cul-ture and historical heritage, Cristóbal de la Rosa; and the director of the OST, Michal Nesterowicz. Melchior said the movement of the Or-

questa Sinfónica de Tenerife: “Which is recognized around the world and that is a great pride for the island”. De la Rosa stressed: “the intense work done by the teacher throughout the first year has been widely accepted by the public. He came with the idea of developing an artistic idea for four years and we are pleased with the results we are getting”. The island director of culture and his-torical heritage emphasised that this season “remains the choice for young people. An-yone under the age of 26 will gain entry for just 9 euros”.

For his part, Michal Nes-terowic said they felt “very happy with the work” and ex-plained that the OST “already played very well but now does so with more energy. We’ve had incredible artistic results; we have a fantastic group of magical musicians and are at the same level as other great formations around the world.”

The programme will fea-ture fifth symphonies from Beethoven, Mahler, Bruck-ner, Sibelius, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Glazunov and Vaughan-Williams, which means a there will be a diver-sity of styles and eras.

Soloists who are scheduled to take part in the 2013-2014 include the Tenerifian clarinettist Maximiliano Mar-tin, soprano Klara Ek, cellist William Pastrana and violin-ists Sergei Dogadin, Esther Yoo and Charlie Siem. The Chamber Choir of Tenerife will also be appearing.

The other axis of the pro-gramming designed by Michal Nesterowicz is the piano. Through this instrument, the Orquesta Sinfónica de Ten-erife will also perform piano pieces from Beethoven to

Rachmaninov, as well as the works of Tchaikovsky, Grieg and Chopin. These pieces will feature appearances by so-loists Simon Trpceski, Ingolf Wunder, Behzod Abduraimov and Soo Yung Ann. Other two pianists, Alexei Volodin and Javier Perianes, return again to work with the orchestra.

Ten directors will be re-sponsible for eighteen pro-grammes, seven of which will be hosted by Michal Nes-terowicz, while the honor-ary director of the Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife, Víctor Pablo Pérez, will appear for three weeks. The other eight masters are Perry So, Daniel Raiskin, Josep Vicent, An-toni Wit, Dmitry Yablonsky, Daniel Blendulf, José Ramón Encinar and Nick Davies. The latter will lead the Orchestra in a programme dedicated to the golden age of Hollywood soundtracks.

Prices of season tickets to these 18 concerts of the season range between 232 and 468 euros. The Cabildo

de Tenerife maintains allow-ances for people age 65 or older (between 219 and 427 euros) and for young peo-ple aged 26 or younger (be-tween 173 and 357 euros). One of the novelties of this year is allowing stage pay-ments in two parts, provided the purchase occurs before July 13.

Subscription renewal will begin this Saturday, 15th, un-til July 29th at the box office of the Auditorio de Tenerife “Adán Martin”. Sales for un-paid subscriptions opens on July 16th.

Entries for all concerts can be obtained from September 23rd, with prices between 16 and 33 euros. For people age 65 or older, tickets are availa-ble between 14 and 27 euros, and 26-year-olds or younger range between 12 and 22 euros. An additional offer is also available for young peo-ple under 27-year-old who may obtain an entry for only 9 euros, an hour before the start of each concert.

editorialTake a look at the dreadful pictures of the horrendous fires that are taking over vast swathes of Colorado on pages 28-29. Take a look up at our beautiful mountains and forests. Now that the weather has remembered we live on a tropical island, please take care when you are having your BBQ’s or driving through the mountain tops with a cigarette in your hand. Our flora and fauna suffered dreadfully during our forest

fires last year. Please be aware and make sure we don’t end up with a repeat performance. Dispose of your cigarette ends responsibly and make sure your BBQ’s are well and truly out before your leave.

I could never be mistaken for a football fan, or any other sports fan for that matter. The thought of next year’s World Cup leaves me cold. I have to say that the countdown clock unveiled by Pele – quite a good footy player apparently left me feeling extremely underwhelmed. Based on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, surely they could have

designed something a bit more aesthetic? Perhaps it’s just me? Take a look at the back page and see if you agree.

My favourite news article this week has to be Tammy, the anteater given a minder at London zoo to stop her being trampled on by the public. Too adorable for words, it makes me want to pack a bag and catch the next plane to Blighty and go and meet her personally. Well nearly anyway!

See you all next week.

Dear eDiTOr,

COnTinueD frOm page 1ReSIdenTS and

tourists alike are invited to help celebrate

a special day next Fri-day, 21st June. The Pyramids of Guimar ethnographic Park is opening its doors for an opportunity to witness one of the most anticipated days of the year, the Summer Solstice.

Starting at 7.45pm, the Ethnographic Park doors will open, and the audience will be accompanied to the main Pyramid complex, where they will be able to observe, whenever weather conditions permit, the guid-ance that shows the main axis of the pyramids with the point on the horizon where the sun sets mark-

ing the start of the summer season.

In addition, the perspec-tive from that axis usually allows the observation of a ‘double sunset’. This curi-ous phenomenon, observ-able from the main complex of the pyramids of Güímar, caught the attention of re-searchers of the Institute of

Astrophysics of the Canary Islands, who discovered and confirmed the alignment of the pyramids with the sum-mer and winter solstices.entrance is free.

Tenerife Weekly carried an article on me and my wife Maureen in your last week’s edition which was submitted by a Media company.

It is with deep regret that I must inform you that due to extreme circumstance our contribution to the production ‘Goodbye Granadaland’ is being omitted. Producers of the show said that our contribution to the show was entertaining and delightful but due to prime time and over-run, unexpect-ed last minute edits have been made resulting in our omission. I am so very, very sorry as I know many of our friends and neighbours on the ‘Golf’ were looking forward to the program and our little interview about our many years working for Gra-nada and the memories we have.

If there is room in your forthcoming edition to publish our profuse apologies we would be grateful, as you mentioned we visit our home regularly, but it may be some before we are able to return to the island and our home for the foreseeable future.

Thank you so much for publishing the article. Very best regards Joel David.


ThIS Saturday after-noon and evening mu-sic, dance, and child-rens attractions will pack all corners of las Galletas. The back streets and coastal promenade are not big enough to con-tain all the events of arona en Colores so it is spilling over to the marina, the beach, and the sports cen-tre.

This colour coded guide will help you to take in as much as possible and you can pick up a copy on the day in the charming fishing village just along the coast from Los Cristianos. Here are some of the highlights to look out for.

There’s live jazz from the Elmar Fusion Trio between 4 and 5.30pm in the rain-bow coloured Zona Comer-cial and later cocktail mak-ing and sampling from 7 to 11pm. Calle Belgica will have a bouncy castle and painting

fun in the blue zone from 4 until the close at midnight while the yellow zone offers music and dance from the Tenerife Salsa Festival from 5 to 11pm.

If anyone is taking Myolastan, a brand name for the anti-depressant tetrazepam, they should see their doctor immediately. As of 1 July, the Agencia Española de Medica-mentos y Productos Sanitarios (Aemps), i.e. the Spanish Medi-cines and Sanitary Products Agency, is withdrawing Myolas-tan from the market. The Agency has issued an alert that no-one should start to take the drug and anyone already on it should see their doctor for an alternative to be prescribed. From 1 July, Myolastan itself will no longer be prescribed or dispensed. Anyone who is or has been taking the drug should be on the lookout for serious skin reactions and go to their doctor immediately if any become apparent

although Madrid has refused to grant the Canaries a permanent seaplane to fight summer fires, one will, after all, be stationed here during the months of highest risk. The announcement was made today by the minister of Industria, Energía y Turismo, José Manuel Soria, himself a Canarian. There will be one stationed in Tenerife between 1 July and 30 September.

Two dogs reported dead in Tejina de Guía because of poison seemingly laid down by local agriculturalist. Anyone who walks dogs in that area should be very alert.

a charity con-cert for the benefit of people living with Alzhei-mer’s disease will be held on Sat-urday, June 15, 19:00 to 21:00 in San Isidro. Pepe Benavente, Ely Curbelo, Isabel Torbellino and Goyo Tavío are responsible for livening up the concert. It has been timed to coincide with Old Age Abuse World Awareness Day. Tickets are on sale for just 5 euros at the headquar-

ters of Acufade Granadilla, located at the Mencey Avenue de Abona, 41, and at Radio New Wave, located in calle Sabinosa, 8, in San Isidro.

The Spanish association against Cancer of Güímar has organized a campaign of information and awareness about the dangers of tobacco in the Plaza of Santo Domingo, coin-ciding with the farmer’s market on Sunday. The Association will be on hand to explain the risks of smoking and informa-tion about how to quit. There will be information about a quit smoking programme and a free Smartphone app available. The Spanish Association against Cancer of Güímar is located in the Trattoria Medina, at 5pm to 7pm on Wednesdays and 9am to 11am on Friday.

a 70-year-old man was seriously injured on Wednesday after being hit by a bus in Los Realejos Tenerife municipality. Two ambulances were deployed and the patient was treated at the roadside, before eventually being transferred to Uni-versity Hospital of the Canary Islands, where he was admit-ted. The Guardia Civil are investigating the incident.

The President of the Canarian Government, Mr. Pauli-no Rivero, has finally announced the date for the opening of the hospital in the South. He has stated that the hospital will be open for business as of November 2014. However there has been much debate about whether this is feasibly pos-sible. In recent times, “the crisis” has served as an excuse to the delay and there have even been hints that the PSOE in Tenerife were blocking approval of the regional budget. Time will tell.

news On THe rOCK

By Colin Kirby


WhIlST ponder-ing on what to write about this week I suddenly

realised that it was staring me in the face-literally-eve-ry night at Treasure Island I’m surrounded by them!

The history of the Canary Islands is teeming with tales of pirates, going right back to the 15th cen-tury. With the Canaries being at the crossroads of the main American trade routes, they were regularly targeted by international pirates.

Here are some examples of how the scourge of the seas and these islands are connected.

Santa BárbaraThe island of Lanzarote, during

the 15th century, was constantly under threat of pirate attacks, it is considered to be one of the world’s most pirated locations.

The situation got so bad that Don Agustín de Herrera, Marques of Lan-zarote ordered the construction of several impenetrable forts, includ-ing the fortress of Santa Bárbara located on the volcano of Guanapay. Used as a watchtower, providing an early warning of impending pirate attack, as a refuge for the local population and as a dungeon for prisoners.

The town of Vila de Teguise, where most of Lanzarote’s inhabit-ants lived back then, was constantly under threat of attack, mostly by Berber pirates from the Barbary Coast in North Africa such as Mor-

ato Arráez and Soliman, who plun-dered the island and took locals to become slaves.

The castle now serves as a muse-um of piracy and houses replicas of pirate weapons such as guns, sabres and cannons as well as a model of a 106-cannon Spanish galleon used in the 18th century by the military to repel pirate attacks.

Pirates of the CaribbeanDue to their strategic situation at

the centre of Atlantic sea routes, the Canaries were regular ports of call for some of the most infamous pirates in history- known mostly for their exploits on the Caribbean seas. John Hawkins, the English pi-rate, or privateer, a form of piracy in which the monarchy legitimised the practice by issuing a “marque”, a document authorising the holder to attack and plunder ships from hostile nations. Hawkins made the Archipelago his base and was a slave trader who would regularly attack other slave ships in order to steal their valuable human cargo.

Hawkins cousin, Sir Francis Drake, you may be surprised to learn was also a pirate, and sworn enemy of Spain. He tried in vain several times to invade and conquer the Canaries between 1583 and 1595 but was thwarted every time. The cannons of Castle San Miguel, La Palma pre-vented him landing there, desper-ate for supplies for the journey to the Americas. His defeat in trying to capture the city of Las Palmas in Gran Canaria in 1595 is the subject

of several Spanish literary works by the likes of Lope de Vega and Car-rasco de Figueroa.

Sir Walter Raleigh, a knight of the realm of Queen Elizabeth 1 was not averse to a spot of piracy. In 1595, on route to Guyana in search of the legend of El Dorado, he stopped at Tenerife and Fuerteventura, steal-ing cattle as well as attacking two ships carrying weapons and wine.

In 1657 Robert Blake and his band of pirates attempted to invade Ten-erife leading to a bloody battle dur-ing which he plundered 6 Spanish galleons and a dozen other ships in the Spanish fleet anchored near the island.

Booty CallIn 1618 the ruthless Algerian pi-

rates Tabac Arráez and Soliman made off with the largest booty in Canarian history when they at-tacked Lanzarote taking no less than 900 captives to be sold as slaves as well as a huge plunder of items of value from the locals who were betrayed when someone told the pirates of their hideout in the caves

of Los Verdes.Defoe’s inspiration

It was on a journey back from plundering ships out of Puerto de la Cruz that renowned privateer Woodes Rogers happened upon and rescued a marooned Scottish sailor, Alexander Selkirk, on an uninhabited island in the South Pacific, where he’d survived alone for four years.

Selkirk’s adventures as a castaway on the island would later be the in-spiration for Daniel Defoe’s famous novel Robinson Crusoe!

Buried treasure?Amaro Rodríguez Felipe - better

known as the famous Spanish pirate Amaro Pargo was inspired at an ear-ly age by the pirate activity around his home in San Cristobel de la La-guna- so much so that he became a pirate himself, earning a fortune as a slave trader for American planta-tions and Canarian sugar mills.

Later in life, he abandoned his pirate life and began performing works of charity due to his friend-ship with the nun Maria de Leon

Bello y Delgado.However, legend tells that the

wily corsair had hidden his booty near to his house near Barranco Hondo, Machado. To add strength to the stories the old dog would of-ten quip that he could see his treas-ure from the window of his house. Many searched for the loot upon his death in 1747 but the treasure was never found and many now be-lieve it was the ocean the old man was speaking of. The ruins of his house can still be visited today-who knows? If you go you might just find what everyone else never man-aged to!

So next time you’re driving along a coastal road and you coming across one of the islands many hid-den inlets, imagine for a moment a pirate ship, lurking there, Jolly Rog-er raised-waiting to fire on the un-suspecting trade ship just headed out of port....ARR me heartys!!!

Don’t forget- for your own pi-rate experience-come down to Vivo treasure island,day or night!! See you there!

XXV Congress of theiberian association of Zoos

and aquariums (aiZa)laST week the hotel Botánico together with loro Parque , hosted the annual Congress of the Iberi-an association of Zoos and aquariums (aIZa). The opening ceremo-ny, which took place in the gardens of this beautiful hotel of Pu-erto de la Cruz, was attended by the Min-ister of environment of the Canary Islands, Guacimara Medina Pé-rez; the president of aIZa, Miquel Trepat; the president of loro Parque, Wolfgang Kiessling and the di-rector of loro Parque Fundación, david Waugh.

The Congress, which took place during environment week, was attended by more than 90 people, including ex-perts from different Span-ish and Portuguese zoos. They discussed new trends on management and animal welfare under human care,

as well as veterinary aspects, educational and research programs and key factors listed in the rules that regu-late this sector. To incorpo-rate the 40th anniversary of Loro Parque, this year AIZA chose the Canary Islands for the meeting.

The international zoo com-munity is currently subject to smear campaigns by envi-ronmental organizations that criticize the management of some zoos. Due to the over-

population of the planet and the destruction of nature and natural habitats of the animals, the AIZA members drew attention to the role of modern zoos, which receives more than 600 million people per year. They highlighted the importance of events of this kind, in which responsi-ble entities that comply with the rules come together and consolidate the work and ef-fort in defence of the ani-mals.

ricardo melchiorreceives Lions Club awardCaBIldO’S Presi-

dent, Ricardo Melchior, has been present-

ed with the distin-guished Melvin Jones lions Club award, by the international li-ons Club at the Salón noble Palace. he re-ceived the award from the President of the Council of Gov-ernors, arturo Carrio, given in recognition of personal and insti-tutional collaboration with the lions Clubs. The event was also attended by the Gov-ernor of the district 116B, Claudio Benez-ra, district Governor 116B; the district Gov-ernor 116th, Miguel angel Fernandez; and the former Interna-tional director, luis domínguez.

During the course of the presentation, came the an-nouncement of a new Li-ons Club based in the Hotel Mencey in Santa Cruz and the presentation of logos to the new Lions took place.

The Lions Club is a philan-thropic group that is present in more than 205 countries and boasts 1.3 million mem-bers. The name of the dis-tinction that Ricardo Melchior has received comes from its founder, entrepreneur in Chicago, US, Melvin Jones. In 1917 he invited groups to be part of an organization with the vision of expanding its horizons beyond the exclu-sively professional or person-al interests for the benefit of the community.

The motto of the Lions is “us we serve”, and refers di-rectly to the central idea of the institution, which is car-rying out community service. It’s a social activity assumed voluntarily, by people who are integrated into the non-profit group, conscious of their responsibility to others and society, aiming to provide in-depth attention to the needs that manifest them-selves in the community and its components to achieve well-being.

TOday, Friday, June 14th marks the opening of the eleventh edition of the series of lectures “Thor heyerdahl School of Travellers”, escuela de Viajeros Thor heyerdahl, organized by the hall of Cultural Tourism of the university of la laguna and the pyramids of Güímar ethnographic Park.

The philosophy of the “Thor Heyerdahl School of travellers “ has always been to show that anyone can live an adventure and learn from a trip; because the journey is more than just about distance or destination, it is about attitude, the mode of displacement, overcoming obstacles and experiencing trips to remote locations. The lectures are named after the famous Norwegian scientist and traveller, due to the relationship that these talks have to the life and work of Heyerdahl.

The lecture series take place over four consecutive Friday’s, and as in previous occasions have notable speakers and provide very interesting talks, in which the guests will share their experiences about unusual trips, approaching very distant realities, not only geographically speaking, but from the most diverse human perspectives. This programme of illustrated talks represents a form of learning, different from the education and training that we can receive in any school classroom, reading book or film.

Alberto Ayora Hirsch,

Lieutenant Colonel of the High Mountain Military Group – Grupo Militar de Alta Montana- will give the inaugural lecture entitled “white adrenaline. The path of error”, adrenalina Blanca, La ruta del error.

On June 21st, it will be the turn of Ramón Lobo, journalist and war reporter, who will deliver a presentation “in the wolves mouth”, en la boca del lobo. On 28th June a talk will be given by Jorge Enrique Plasencia entitled “A bike for little Tibet. A different Himalaya”, en bici por el pequeno Tibet. Un Himilya diferente. And finally, on 5th July attendees will accompany Cesar Sar

Rivera, journalist, traveller and gourmet, who will give a presentation entitled “a dream, a year, a trip around the world”, Un Sueno, un ano, una vuelta al mundo.

The conferences will take place in the Auditorium of the Park ethnographic pyramids of

Güímar, Friday 14, 21 and 28 June, and Friday, July 5 starting at 8.00pm, (except June 21, which will be at 21:00), and the entrance will be free, although it is recommended to reserve a place due to the limited capacity.

Information and reservations on the 922 514 510 or www.piramidesdeguimar.es.

el Correillo exhibiiton

The launch event was attended by the Vice President and Minister of Presidency and Finance of the Cabildo, Víctor Pérez; the President of the Foundation Correillo La Palma, Juan Pedro Morales; the Vice-Rector of culture from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Isabel Pascua; and the curator of the exhibition, Angels German.

The exhibition shows through hundreds of photographs taken during the restoration and includes plans and videos, outlining the story of this iconic boat. El Correillo was active between the Canary Islands and the western coast of Africa and now, after years of restoration, it is now based in the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The photographs have been loaned by the Fundación Canaria Correillo La Palma, La province - Diario de Las

Palmas, FEDAC, and private individuals taken during it’s voyages around the archipelago.

Plans as well as laser scans of the boat, as well as the images of its restoration, give an idea of the wide history of this ship, now regarded as a jewel of the Industrial heritage of the Canary Islands. The exhibition is sorted chronologically to give better understanding and is also a sign of the importance of photographic archives as memory showcases, which in this case is particularly relevant due to the actual existence of this boat. The institutions and individuals who have collaborated in this exhibition are also people who have been linked to it directly or through their families, so it takes on a personal and emotional dimension.

The Cabildo of Tenerife has opened an exhibition “Imagenes de un barco. el Correillo la Palma y la memoria de Canarias, el Correillo – Images of a boat and Canarian Memories’, based on the history of the iconic steam ship that sailed around the archipelago between 1912 and 1976, which can be seen at the espacio Puente Tea Tenerife espacio de las artes until July 14, sponsored by the Fundación Correillo la Palma and the university of las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

IT is common knowledge that in general I hate markets. having lived on the island for 7 years I have to admit I have not once been the Sunday Market in los Cristianos as looking from the outside in, it does not sell the sort of goods I would be buying.

However I am a sucker for the Farmers Mar-kets and one of my favourites although not my closest is in Las Chafiras on Calle Miguel Hernandez Gomez (next to Fire Station).

It is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 8.00 to 14:00 and Wednesday from 14:00 to 19:30 (although I have never been on a Wednesday or at 8.00 on a weekend!!)

I like to buy my eggs from the lady who is there each week, I think her name is Isobel and I like picking over the fresh fruit and veg to get just the amount you want so nothing is wasted.

The market doesn´t only sell fruit and veg though, I often buy my honey, vinegar and

‘special breads’ there too. Recently the men who sell the most delicious bread have had a stall outside of the Culture Centre in Los Cris-tianos. Their raisin and almond is to die for and of course my Other Half, being a huge fan of apples, just can´t pass by their apple bread.

Check it out.

www.tenerife-weekly.com Tenerife Weekly - 14th June 2013 - 20th June 2013 9 guachinches Law Changes

GuaChInCheS are small taverns, for want a bet-ter description, which are attached to or part of the main house of vineyards and which sell whatever homemade meals are be-ing cooked that day, along with wine from the tav-ern’s own vineyard. By definition, given home pro-duced food and wine, they are seasonal, and since the overheads are minimal, prices are low. as a result, and also because they are by their nature in out of the way rural locations and “authentically Canarian”, they are extremely popu-lar.

Or at least, that’s what guachinch-es should be. Because of their suc-cess, some have become more like fully commercial restaurants, with wines bought in when the bodega’s own has run out, and with menus of-fering commercially prepared meals all year round. And as their success has grown, so has opposition and pressure from the catering sector,

which claims the guachinches repre-sent unfair competition.

Now, as a result, regulation is to be legislated by the Canarian Gov-ernment, and last Friday the draft law was approved in the regional Parliament. It will now pass to con-sultation and should be in Parlia-ment in around three weeks’ time for final approval and publication in the Boletín Oficial de Canarias (BOC). The approved law is expected to be on the statute books by the end of this month.

Once it is in place, guachinches will have to register with their island Ca-bildo, and will be given a plaque that must be displayed outside the prem-ises. They will only be able to oper-ate for four months of the year, and must stop even before that if they have run out of their own produce. They will only be allowed to offer a choice of three meals, all of which must not only be homemade but also primarily contain only the vine-yard’s own produce or that which is from its immediate area. All wine must be the vineyard’s own. Po-lice will be empowered to inspect and even to force closure if the guachinche is found to be breaking the law.

Cómo estás?ReCenTly I interviewed Graciela, a lovely woman who heads up the Spanish classes for foreigners in adeje. The course is linked to the Summer School and the university of la laguna and now is the time to register.

So I could stop at that, say no more and leave it up to those who want to make a bit of effort to learn to speak Spanish. But no, I think it really is important for us to learn to speak some of the language of the country we have decided to make home. We decided, for loads of different reasons, to live in Spain, but now that we’re here there are so many more reasons to stay. And by learning the language you are not just opening the doors of the local doctor’s surgery or the hardware shop or public school, you are opening doors to a completely new level of life and experi-ence here.

Language is the key to a culture, to a way of thinking, concepts and ideas are couched in words, in language. Once you start to speak Spanish, just some Spanish, you will be enrich-ing your total living experience here in the Ca-nary Islands.

It’s too easy maybe to get by without Span-ish. Much easier, for instance, than for many emigrants who travel to the UK to live. If they don’t learn English they are excluded from so many facets of daily life, which in itself leads to social isolation of course doesn’t do any-thing to encourage integration. I know there are many other reasons that contribute to these problems as well, but language plays a part.

Here, there are schools, bars, restaurants, shops, radio stations and of course radio pro-grammes, and so many other services that are available in English that you can get by quite easily with little more than a cursory ‘Gracias’ or ‘Por Favor? They, or course, have

their place are are welcome additions to the multicultural and commercial mix, but with-out some Spanish you are simply missing out. And you will also find that once you start to speak, even if you are stumbling over gram-mer and vocabulary, the Canarian and Spanish population will, generally, really appreciate the effort you are making and help you along. You will also find that you can meet so many more people, people from other countries who have also decided to settle here, with Spanish be-coming your mutual common language. I love the fact that I can have a great chat with four of five pals, or attend an exercise class with Dutch, Norwegian, Italian, French and English friends, all of us getting by in our second lan-guage. It’s fun and fascinating.

So enough preaching. It’s down to you at the end of the day. But this summer why not give it a go? The classes are on-going at the Adeje Cultural Centre. No tiene nada que per-der – you have nothing to lose.

Tenerife Weekly - 14th June 2013 - 20th June 2013 Facebook.com/TenerifeWeekly10 The Cabildo de Tener-

ife has announced the launch of a prototype of an un-

manned solar plane proto-type.

The solar plane will have a wing-span of 16 meters and be capable of staying in the air independently, for an indefinite time, using only energy from the Sun. It will have the ability to undertake various predefined missions for scientific, institutional or commercial uses.

The launch was attended by Ca-bildo President Ricardo Melchior, the Deputy economic Minister of economy and finance, Carlos Alonso, Professor of the Superior technical school of aeronautical engineers of the Polytechnic Uni-versity of Madrid and the director of ITER, Manuel Cendagorta.

The prototype will use solar panels to charge the batteries and, therefore, be able to fly in-definitely, day and night “without having to land and be of no risk to the people”, said Melchior.

Alonso has praised the proto-type, which will be called ‘Tener-ife’, as a ‘tool of control’ for the territory as it will supply “informa-tion” for fire management and prevention, control of the wa-ters of the archipelago or, even, the evolution of the climate, be-cause it will measure temperature changes”.

According to Ricardo Melchior other possible uses for this type of aircraft include the missions of

observation of the Earth, surveil-lance of borders, fires, roads and major events or the management of any type of disaster, when for example access to the affected areas have been destroyed or hu-man access can be dangerous, or as a mode of communication in emergency situations.

Pioneered in Spain, this project has been coordinated by the In-stitute of technology and renew-able energy, in addition with the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid through the Superior technical school of aeronautical engineers and Aernnova Engineering Solu-tions Ibérica, with help from the Ministry of economy and finance and will be co-financed by FEDER funds. The total budget of the project is 1.423.121,62 Euros

The is the fourth drone to be developed by ITER and will fly at an approximate altitude of 8,000 meters and a speed of 80 kilo-metres per hour; it will be able to cross Tenerife in an hour.

The idea of designing and man-ufacturing an unmanned solar aircraft has its beginnings in the construction of a smaller proto-type, with a wingspan of just 5.3 meters which was on show in the Noble Hall of the Cabildo.

The UPM (Universidad Politécni-ca de Madrid) team has developed a Flight Simulator and a virtual flight programme, which allows you to try the appliance in differ-ent scenarios, with bad weather, etc., an essential prelude to the real flight.

� is summer students can step into a simulated CSI scenario withCSI Events: Tenerife. Using genuine forensic science to solve the mystery of a suspicious crime. Students will assume the role of forensic scientists as they

investigate the ‘crime scene’ of a crime that is seemingly without motive. Combining theory and practice, students attempt to solve the simulated crime

through classroom lectures, investigative techniques and practical work.� is course incorporates curricular topics as well such as English,

Science, Mathematics and many more. Although the 1 week course follows the template seen in shows such as CSI, itis designed to be as realistic as possible. While the crime scene and evidenceare not real, students follow the procedure of forensic scientists and conduct

experiments using authentic equipment. � e course aims to convey to studentsthe reality of crime investigation using Forensic Science.

� is course aims to show the ‘real’ side of forensic casework.’ Once the mystery has been untangled, participants analyse their results and

build their case for the mini court trial, where they will present their evidence.� is course will run continuously throughout the summer holidays.

Each week 24 students will get the chance to put their skills to the test.

House Of wine flea market

The market will be open from 11.00am and 6.00pm, and is an opportunity to buy antique pieces and exclusive products as well as visiting the various units of the wine house.

Island Minister of agriculture, livestock and fishing, José Joaquín Bethencourt, explains that, given the success of the first edition: “We wanted to repeat the experience with the idea that this market will

become an opportunity for antique dealers to be able to offer their wares to both residents and tourists and an opportunity to promote the wine house”. The idea is, according to Bethencourt, that this initiative be held periodically.

People who come to the flea market can gain free entry to the Museum of vine and wine and can also taste cheese, wine and honey from Tenerife at discounted prices.

Tenerife Sur Lions Twins with warsaw Lions Club

The lions June business meeting marked a new milestone in the club’s twenty-seven year history in Tenerife.

Just prior to the meeting itself the club established a twinning relationship with the Warsaw (Warszawa Arka) Lions Club in Poland. There was another first for the club and possibly the Lions in that the twinning ceremony was conducted via a live audio/visual link between the two clubs. Although there was an invitation for the ceremony to be held in Poland, the time constraints of the busy June/July club schedule made this extremely difficult so the audio/visual link was conceived as a unique alternative.

With both clubs viewing the proceedings Tenerife Sur Lions’ President Norman Goodall MBE opened the ceremony with an address where he expressed the importance of remembering that in agreeing to work together for the benefit of our clubs we will not lose sight of our common objective, that of serving our individual communities, but in doing this we are opening the boundaries of our abilities and our expertise to a much wider mission of help and assistance in our respective areas

Following a reciprocal address by the Warsaw club’s lady President Mrs Dr Janina Stanska-Staniewska the twinning documents affirming each clubs commitment to a mutual co-operation, support and friendship were signed.

There followed a presentation of flowers for the Warsaw Lions President on behalf of Tenerife Sur Lions Club and a toast by both clubs to each other’s success and to their future friendship.

Tenerife Sur Lions would like to express their thanks to the Paradise Park Hotel for the venue and it’s assistance with the link up, in particular to their technician David for his help and expertise with setting up the equipment. - Thank you.

I deCIded to start taking the aloe Vera juice after months of high stress in my life, two pregnancies, two teenagers and generally a pe-riod of not looking after myself as I should. I felt run down, my joints were sore, my stomach was bad. I have food intolerances and in moments of stress these can get worse, circulation in my hands was bad and my nails were weak and easily broken. I had been speak-ing to Julie at the open day we had here at Origins Wellness in Pearly Grey about her Forever living prod-ucts and decided to try the Forev-er Freedom gel.

My diet and lifestyle are generally pretty healthy. But I just knew I could feel better. Within a few days of taking the aloe gel I was noticing that my circulation was better. Where previously the joints in my hands had been getting sore and I was cold, my body tem-perature was improving and my hands were no longer sore. My digestive system started to feel more normal... still living through some high stress moments in life and I really wasn’t doing too badly.

I took 60ml of Aloe Freedom Gel every morning. This version of the gel that combines the legendary properties of Aloe Vera with some of the best known ingredients and sup-plements that research has shown to be bene-ficial in the repair and maintenance of healthy

joints: Glucosamine sulphate, Chondroitin sul-phate, and MSM, and for good measure they have also included extra Vitamin C.

So many people had told me the Aloe juice was disgusting to take, however I really didn’t find it bad at all, and with the benefits, even if it was gross I think it would be worth it.

I live a very active life. Lugging about 2 ba-bies in an all-terrain double buggy weighing 25+ kilos, teaching boot camps, fitness class-es, doing my own training, massage and sports therapy treatments, leaning over a couch. Plus the usual household stuff, I can honestly say I feel better after taking the Forever Freedom Gel and if you have any reservations… Don’t!! Just try it. Do what I tell my clients that are changing their nutritional intake to do, make a list of the little things you are noticing, hair, nails, digestion, sleep... all these ‘niggly’ things and try the gel. ... See what you can cross off your ‘niggle’ list.

www.tenerife-weekly.com Tenerife Weekly - 14th June 2013 - 20th June 2013 13 The President of the Ca-bildo de Tenerife, Ricardo Melchior, and Vice Presi-dent and Minister of So-cial action, Cristina Valido recently met with a del-egation from the Vicente Ferrer Foundation, who presented the projects that been developed in India in an effort to eradi-cate extreme poverty over the last 40 years.

The expedition was headed by Moncho Ferrer, son of the founder and director of programmes, who was accompanied by the director-general, Jordi Folgado and repre-sentatives of the Vicente Ferrer Foundation in the Canary Islands and Tenerife, Manuel Roales and Nieves González.

During the meeting, the repre-sentatives of the Vicente Ferrer Foundation detailed the on-going work in India to help eradicate extreme poverty through a pro-gramme of integrated development and promoting agricultural produc-tion, education, health and housing. They have also made huge advances on the work of women and per-sons with disabilities. Within these programmes, is the opportunity to provide sponsorship for a child, a women’s support group or even the possibility of becoming a partner.

On Tuesday 11th, a documentary, Waiting For A Miracle, was screened at TEA Tenerife Espacio de las Ar-tes which explained the long way the Vicente Ferrer Foundation (FVF) has come over the past 40 years of work to overcome social barriers and changing consciousness. Through the most intimate confessions, the documentary portrayed the diffi-culties that had to be overcome and the importance to become respon-

sible for their own changes. The people who participated in the doc-umentary are from rural India and most of them now work on their own land. Through the programme of development the FVF have man-aged to gain independence for peo-

ple from the upper castes after centuries of slavery.

The film was divided into three parts and through the Narrator, Hanumakka, a child with visual im-pairment; the viewer watched the transformation of people in the

last 40 years and their hopes for the future. His inclusion acquired a special meaning as people with dis-abilities suffer triple discrimination, on grounds of sex, caste, as well as their disability.

Waiting For A Miracle was been

directed by Gemma Ventura. This documentary won best foreign film and best director at the Internation-al festival in Beverly Hills, and earned a special mention at the Film Festival of Mexico and an Excellence Award in the Festival of Canada.

igiC: Some Help for Small Traders

The Minister of economy, Finance and Security of the Canary Islands, Javier González Ortiz, has confirmed that the self-employed and small and medium sized businesses (SMes) will not have to ante up the IGIC (like VaT) to be collected for the tax man until their invoices have actually been paid.

Up to now the tax was payable in the quarter a busi-ness person raised their invoice, regardless of whether it had been paid or not.

In the case of IVA (VAT), applicable to mainland Spain, the matter has already been included in the Draft Law on Entrepreneurs.

Gonzalez Ortiz said that the IGIC measure will come into force in the Canary Islands at the same time as the new state regulation; during 2014.

The Minister warned, however, that although this will be a positive move for the self employed and SMEs, “it will have an initial impact on public funds and that needs to be addressed as it could affect all important deficit calculation”, as according to the Minister, this fact has not been taken into account by the State Government.

González Ortiz, also announced a scheme in combina-tion with various financial institutions to make available around 300 million euros in loans to entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises in the Islands.

Ortiz said access to credit is the main difficulty in ini-tiating new projects, “so that this government is focus-ing its efforts on overcoming this handicap.”

The Spanish hospital that carried out the world’s first double-leg transplant has reported that the patient has had both limbs ampu-tated after an unrelat-ed illness forced him to stop taking anti-rejec-tion drugs.

“The patient who had two legs transplanted at the Hospital La Fe in 2011 had to undergo an operation to amputate the two extremi-ties,” said a statement issued by the hospital in Valencia, eastern Spain. The patient had the two limbs amputated about a year and a half after the ground-breaking trans-plant, it said.

He had to stop taking im-munosuppressant drugs re-quired to prevent his body rejecting the transplant because the medicine was complicating the treatment of the illness he contracted: “In these cases the protocol is that, if the transplanted organ is not a vital organ, it should be removed from the patient so as to allow treat-ment of the illness that is more serious and urgent.”

Renowned surgeon Pedro Cavadas led the team that

carried out the original 10-hour transplant operation, which was completed on July 10, 2011. The double leg sur-gery was declared as a world first.

The patient, a man in his 20s at the time of the opera-tion, had had both legs ampu-tated above the knee after a traffic accident. The height of the amputation prevented him from using a prosthesis, meaning that he would have been consigned to a wheel-chair with “zero” chance of walking again, the transplant surgeon said at the time.

For the double leg trans-plant, more than 50 medical staff were involved including surgeons, nurses, anaesthe-tists and transplant coordi-nators. Surgeons had to con-

nect nerves, blood vessels, muscles, tendons and bone structure. But the patient was prescribed immunosup-pressant drugs for the rest of his life.

In October 2008, Cavadas carried out the first double arm transplant in Spain and the second in the world, and in August 2009 he performed Spain’s first face transplant.

Spain has become a world leader in organ donation since it set up a network of transplant co-ordinators in 1989 at all hospitals to closely monitor emergency wards and identify potential donors.

“The Spanish transplant program is a model because of the altruism and solidarity shown by donors,” the Hospi-tal La Fe said.

The owner of the dog has been arrested for criminal negligence resulting in injury and for failing to have the correct license for a dan-gerous breed. It is thought he deliberately doctored veterinary records of the pit bull-cross after bringing it into Spain from Moroc-co. It is understood that the rabid pit bull cross was bred in Spain but spent four months in Morocco, only returning within the last month.

Authorities in Castile-La Mancha have de-clared a state of high alert and ordered the compulsory vaccination of all dogs and cats and ferrets within an 18 mile radius of where the attacks took place. Around 60,000 dogs in 56 villages are thought to be at risk.

“We have also forbidden dogs to be allowed off the lead in public spaces until the danger has passed,” confirmed Tirso Yuste, head of

the regional Agriculture department. At least seven dogs have already been iden-

tified as having high levels of rabies and have been put in quarantine for one month.

The dog attacked three children, aged two, six and twelve, as well as a 17-year old man in the village of Arges, near Toledo. It was imme-diately destroyed and was confirmed to have been rabid following tests. All concerned were discharged after being given rabies inocula-tions, however the two-year-old who was bit-ten in the face has been kept in hospital.

Mainland Spain was officially declared rabies free in 1975 after successful campaigns to stamp out the disease. There have been oc-casional examples recorded in Spain’s North African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, cities on Morocco’s Mediterranean coast.

rabies in Spain for first Time Since 1975a PIT Bull that bit four children and an adult in central Spain was in-fected with rabies, marking the first recorded case of the disease in the country in almost four decades.


The Spanish government have announced that police have detained two suspected eTa commandos, striking another blow against the network of the armed Basque group.

Jon Lizarribar Lasarte, 37, and Ruben Gelbentzu Gonzalez, 39, are accused of taking part in four attacks during 2002, the Interior Ministry said in a statement. The attacks were directed against the University of Navarra, El Corte Ingles in Zaragoza and two companies from the neighbouring province of Navarra, it said.

Spanish police, carried out a raid act-ing on intelligence gathered from docu-ments seized in France from members of the ETA leadership.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s gov-ernment said 36 ETA suspects had been arrested up to the end of May this year since it took power in December 2011.

Listed as a terrorist group by the Eu-ropean Union and the United States, ETA is blamed for 829 deaths in a forty year campaign of bombings and shootings

for independ-ence for the Basque Coun-try of north-ern Spain and south west France. In Oc-tober 2011 it declared a “definitive end” to its armed activ-ity but has not formally disarmed or disbanded as the Spanish government demands.

ETA has not carried out an attack on Spanish soil since 2009 and some ex-

perts estimate it has only a few dozen members still at large after a string of arrests of its members over recent years.

hollywood producers are keen to tell the story of Spain’s recent run of success on the big screen. Accord-ing to reports the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has received a request from ‘big-time producers’ in America to translate La Roja’s unique run of back-to-back-to-back competition wins into a motion picture. Spain became the first nation in history to win three consecutive in-ternational tournaments last summer, when lifting the European Championship in 2012 followed up 2010’s World Cup win and 2008’s European Championship. Any planned film would reportedly centre on Spain’s strength as a group, rather than a reliance on an individual, and also on their impact on society despite ‘economic crisis and social difficulty’.

The european Commission wants to raise the IVA on food to 10 per cent from 4 per cent. There are concerns in Spain after news from Brussels of a plan to raise the IVA on food. The rise would affect basic foodstuffs such as bread, milk, eggs and fruit and even books. Mariano Rajoy has not made any comments or decisions, and the President of the Spanish Confederation of Bread Pro-ducers (CEOPAN), Lorenzo Alonso said that it would be absurd to raise the tax on bread. Consumption of bread in Spain has fallen from 134 kilos a year to an average 34 kilos a year placing Spain at the bottom of the list for bread consumption in Europe.

Crown Prince naruhito of Japan will be visiting Spain for a week to celebrate the 400th anniversary of bilateral exchanges between Japan and Spain. He hopes not only to celebrate the past ties, but also explore how those ties can be strengthened further. He will be at-tending several events in five cities throughout his visit.

a former Spanish nursing home worker has been convicted of killing 11 residents over a one-year period by forcing them to drink toxic liquids like bleach. Joan Vila confessed during his trial but claimed he killed to ease the pain and suffering of his victims. Prosecutors had presented evidence they argued showed that he did not kill out of mercy, requesting a 194-year sentence. Vila’s defence say he is mentally ill and are asking a judge to impose 20 years of probation. The killings happened in 2009 and 2010 at the nursing home in the city of Olot, close to the border with France.

a retired Spanish police dog has received a prestig-ious award by a British animal charity group in recogni-tion of his bravery and skill. Ajax, a 12-year-old German Shepherd detected a bomb on the Spanish island of Mal-lorca only hours after two officers were killed in a terror attack on July 30, 2009. The dog found the bomb plant-ed under a car by the armed Basque group ETA in the town of Palma Nova. He was decorated with the People’s Dispensary for Sick Animals’ Gold Medal at a ceremony Tuesday on the outskirts of Madrid. Ajax is only the 22nd dog to receive the award.

Spain’s Interior Ministry has issued a statement say-ing that five Tunisian men living in Barcelona have been arrested on accusations of praising terrorism after they allegedly put on the Internet speeches by Osama Bin Laden, explanations on how to make bombs and videos showing Islamic terrorists training and firing weapons and carrying out executions. The men who had been under investigation since 2012, shared content from ji-hadist sources linked to al-Qaida. Praising terrorism has been a crime in Spain since 1995, when it was introduced to counter the armed ETA Basque separatist movement.

turned into the holi-day from hell for Geoff Cox and girl-

friend Bridget Keyes when they ate out in a restaurant. The couple noticed their bill had the addition of an extra paella, but their complaint to the waiter escalated into a physical row when he insisted that they were wrong.

The couple agreed with the restau-rant that the police should be called, thinking the police would side with them. However, when officers arrived, the pair were stunned to find themselves arrest-ed in a fight which saw Mr Cox’s glasses broken and him eventually fined.

To add insult to injury the police later demanded compensation amid claims that the couple had assaulted them.

Mr Cox described the “horrific” inci-dent on May 17 after they pointed out to the waiter they had wrongly been charged 15 euros (£12.75) for the extra paella: “He went off like a firecracker and a row ensued. We put down 105 euros and said we would pay that, but he wanted 120 euros (£101). It got a bit ugly and when he said he would call the police we said, ‘Right, fine’, because we were certain they would side with us.”

Instead the police arrested them, took their fingerprints, confiscated their shoelaces and put them in sepa-rate cells for the night without food or drink. “Two lawyers and a translator turned up 12 hours later – we had no

information, no food and no water,” said Mr Cox of Newdigate, Surrey.

“I was told I was charged with assault on the police, resisting arrest and de-frauding a restaurant, which were crimi-nal charges and I could get a year in jail. Plus we were told the police had filed for damages against us.”

After a seven-hour wait, they were taken to court where they were told the criminal charges had been dropped. However, the police damages claim re-mained and they had to return to court two days later.

“That messed up our holiday plans as we were off to Seville,” said Mr Cox. “We came back to Granada at a cost of 200

euros to have our day in court. We still didn’t know what was happening.

The prosecution demanded fines of 360 euros each, plus 260 euros dam-ages to the police. In the end we were fined 78 euros, and 250 euros damages for me throwing my face against his fist.” They also paid a £340 legal bill.

Mr Cox said: “I’m an ordinary, mid-dle class, respectable citizen who has never had any trouble with the police. It’s a bloody outrage and we must still make sure our fine gets paid to the right place. If it gets lost in the system we could find ourselves facing a European extradition warrant, so I’m still worried about it.”

WhIle Spain might be the second most popular cruise destination in europe, the on-going european fi-nancial crisis continues to undermine the benefit of such a prestigious posi-tion. latest figures from Puertos del estadio, the national port agency, indi-cate that as of the end of February 2013, the number of passengers disembark-ing at ports in Spain fell by over 8%, which roughly translates into approxi-mately 600,000 less tour-ists spending money in the country’s various ports of call.

Industry analysts fear that they may be headed toward a free fall as trends begin to shift. The cruise industry is a significant contribu-tor to Spain’s tourism industry. In 2011, the country received over 5.25 million cruise passengers. That number of passengers represented an injection of at least 520 million Euros into the economy. In addition, the cruise industry contributed around 1.3 billion Euros in direct

expenditures while creating more than 27,000 jobs for 2011. Much of this comes from Barcelona which was Europe’s leading cruise port by number of passengers in 2011.

In spite of the fewer number of passengers arriving in Spain this year, the number of cruise lin-ers that docked in its ports by the end of February 2013 had risen by nearly 5%, about 15 cruise vessels for a total of 321 ships. This figure suggests that the cruise lines did not accurately match capacity with demand. That trend remained evi-dent in February where the Spanish ports logged nearly 7% fewer pas-sengers but an increase of 7 more vessels over the same month the previous year.

Barcelona remains the market leader in the Spanish cruise indus-try; the most significant growth in February was in the Balearic Islands followed by Cadiz Bay with an in-crease of 51% in new arrivals, over 26,000 tourists and 7 new cruise vessels. Significant slumps in cruise visitor arrivals were recorded in Va-lencia and Malaga with decreases of as much as 48%. Results in the Canary Islands were mixed as Las Palmas saw a 21% increase in visi-tors but Santa Cruz de Tenerife re-

corded a decrease of 11%.What the rest of 2013 has in

store for the cruise industry re-mains to be seen but early indica-tions from the first two months of 2013 leave many feeling cautiously optimistic as the ports of Spain saw only a modest increase of 0.35% in passenger arrivals over the previous year.

Meanwhile, the cruise lines are making preparations for what they hope will be a promising summer

cruise season. Royal Caribbean’s In-dependence of the Seas recently arrived at its Southampton port earlier this month in preparation for its 12-night Canary Islands cruis-es while Celebrity’s Eclipse vessel arrived to prepare for its Azores-Canary Island itineraries.

Although the cruise lines may not be pleased at the state of the indus-try and many nations see reduced visitation and spending as a result of the downturn, the weak and un-

predictable demand gives the con-sumer the upper hand especially for those that intend to embark on one of the many family cruises available this summer season. It should be welcome news to consumers that have yet to plan their summer holi-days that competitive pricing action taken in Germany and the UK in or-der to maintain full occupancy has resulted in lower prices each year on European cruises and 2013 will be no exception.

a SuSPeCTed stowaway try-ing to evade a border check and illegally enter Spain was arrested when Police heard about his plan. They arrested the illegal immi-grant who’d risked life and limb trying to enter Spain by stowing away next to the propellers of a ferry.

The desperate Algerian man, 48, had climbed on to the vessel in Tangiers, Morocco, on Saturday and clung on for dear life for over two hours as the boat crossed the Straits of Gibraltar. He had planned to jump into the water, as the ferry came close to shore and then swim to land.

However National Police officers heard of his plot and were waiting for him as the ferry was about to dock in Tarifa. The man was ar-rested and taken to an immigration detention centre.

This is not the first time a foreign national has stared death in the face trying to get into a country. In June 2010 a Romanian hid in the under-carriage of a jumbo jet and survived temperatures of -41c at 25,000ft while catching a free flight into Brit-ain.

The jobless stowaway crouched in the rear-wheel compartment during an extraordinary 800-mile trip from Vienna to London on a Boeing 747 owned by the Dubai royal family. Air-

port officials say the man could eas-ily have been crushed by the plane’s wheels or killed by a lack of oxygen and was ‘incredibly lucky’ to be alive.

He was taken to Heathrow police station but because he was appar-ently of previous good character, he was given a police caution and released from custody at 2.47pm on Monday. The man was carrying ID and immigration officials were satis-fied he was Romanian and entitled to stay.

Records collated by the US Fed-eral Aviation Administration suggest that at best one in four stowaways survive, but many others die or fall in transit. Survivors rarely escape unscathed and frostbite claims many limbs.

In 2009 an illegal immigrant smug-gled himself into Britain underneath a coach full of Border Agency offi-cials. The immigration officers were not aware of the stowaway until they had completed their journey through the Channel Tunnel from France and had arrived at their de-pot in Folkestone.

Tenerife Weekly - 14th June 2013 - 20th June 2013 Facebook.com/TenerifeWeekly18 Death row Debate in madrid

FORMeR death row in-mate Joaquin Martinez, who was acquitted of a double murder in the uS state of Florida af-ter spending five years behind bars, will be campaigning for the ab-olition of capital punish-ment in an international congress in Madrid this week.

Twelve years after leaving death row in Florida, Joaquin Martinez still cannot cope with traditional light bulbs: “At the time we still had the electric chair and just like in the mov-ies, the bulbs flickered and went out when they executed someone,” said Martinez, who is attending the fifth World Con-gress against the Death Penalty. “I don’t have any normal light bulbs at home, just halogens,” he said.

The 41-year-old Spaniard was arrested in 1996 in Florida on suspicion of double murder before being he was found not guilty by the US justice system, he was freed in 2001.

“I still dream sometimes that I am a prisoner. I wake up with a shudder,” he said in a pres-entation event ahead of the June 12-15 congress, organised by the French lobby group En-semble Contre La Peine de Mort (Together Against the Death Penalty).

Organizers are expecting 1,500 people from 90 coun-tries, including high-profile poli-

ticians such as French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, to at-tend the congress. The debate will be punctuated by testimony from people who were once condemned to death or have relatives living on death row.

Another Spaniard, 40-year-old Pablo Ibar, has spent 19 years in the same Florida death row that Joaquin Martinez left behind. Arrested in 1994 for tri-ple murder, Ibar was condemned to death in 2000. His relatives have proclaimed his innocence.

Once a month, his 68-year-old father Candido Ibar, who lives in the United States, drives for seven hours for a visit, some-times of less than three hours, held in a room where death row inmates gather around about 50 tables to talk with those close to them.

“He is the one who encour-ages me,” Candido Ibar said, “I think he sees me, already old. He knows how I feel and that gives him the strength to encourage me. He tells me: ‘Don’t worry’.”

Pablo Ibar keeps fit and stud-ies legal files to better follow his

case while waiting to hear if the US justice system will grant him a new trial. His alleged accom-plice was found not guilty and freed at the end of last year, his family say. “Who are we to decide to take away someone’s life?” asked Candido Ibar. “Es-pecially when there have been several cases where the con-demned ended up being found innocent.” One of the goals of the congress, held every three years since 2001, is to abolish the death penalty worldwide.

The head of French lobby group organising the meeting, Raphael Chenuil-Hazan said: “We are not here to point a finger but more to convince countries to get rid of this cruel, inhuman and degrading penalty,” said “Twenty or thirty years ago, two-thirds of countries were anti-abolition and practised the death penalty. Today that situ-ation has reversed,” he added. But the 58 countries that still carry out the death penalty, of which 25 do so regularly, “are obviously the hardest to con-vince,” Chenuil-Hazan said.

SPaIn could soon link state retirement pay-ments to economic cycles and longer life expectancy under r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s commissioned by the government. how-ever, splits within the group of experts that produced the study on pensions signal a tough road ahead for the government as it pushes for unpopular changes to social se-curity.

Brussels is demanding that Spain reform its pension sys-tem by the end of the year, alongside other demands for reforms to remove im-balances from the country’s economy.

Spain’s centre-right gov-ernment will use the recom-mendations as the basis for talks with opposition parties and unions over reforms aimed at preventing a long term pension’s deficit.

One proposed formula is that payments would be re-vised annually, connected with the system’s costs and

revenues, rather than to in-flation as in the past, which could lead to lower pensions and buying power during times of economic crisis.

Another formula would link payments to life expectancy.

The ruling People’s Party, recently passed a reform to restrict early retirement and is pushing ahead with a wider revision of the system, widely considered unsustainable due to an aging population, low birth rate and high unem-ployment.

“We’re trying to guarantee sustainability by introducing an alert mechanism, a com-ponent with a long-term vi-sion,” Victor Perez, head of the recommendations com-mittee, told reporters.

The number of people con-tributing to state pensions has fallen to its lowest level

in a decade after more than 3 million Spaniards lost their jobs and stopped paying into the system.

Spain has 9 million pen-sioners and the government spends the equivalent of 11% of annual GDP on pensions. Only 17 million workers are currently paying into the sys-tem and in 2012 for the first time the government dipped in to the social security re-serve fund to cover pension payments, as it struggled with both an economic reces-sion and budget cuts.

The country’s pensioners, who are a key portion of the electorate, have been sus-taining younger generations that are suffering under the 27% unemployment rate, so any cut to their payments could hurt millions of jobless families.

www.tenerife-weekly.com Tenerife Weekly - 14th June 2013 - 20th June 2013 19 The Queen paid a visit

to her husband, the duke of edinburgh in hospital on his

92nd birthday on Monday, where he was said to be “comfortable and in good spirits”.

Her Majesty’s 25-minute visit to the London Clinic in Harley Street, where Prince Philip underwent ex-ploratory surgery on his abdomen last Friday, came as Buckingham Palace gave an update on his con-dition.

Palace officials said he is likely to remain in hospital for up to two weeks and will then take a “period of convalescence of approximately two months”.

The Queen visited the hospital after returning to Buckingham Pal-ace following a weekend at Windsor Castle, where she received regu-lar updates about her husband’s health. Her Majesty was the second member of the Royal Family to visit Prince Philip.

Earlier, Prince Edward spent around 20 minutes at the hospital. Asked by reporters how his father was, he replied: “Well, thank you.”

Gun salutes were fired around the country to mark Prince Philip’s birthday.

The King’s Troop Royal Horse Ar-tillery fired a 41-gun royal salute in Green Park, central London, at noon to mark Prince Phillips birth-day. There were also salutes at Edinburgh Castle, in Cardiff and at Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ire-land.

He received birthday greetings on Twitter from Prime Minister

David Cameron: “Wishing the Duke of Edinburgh a very happy 92nd birthday as he recovers in hospital today.”

The prince was admitted to hos-pital for the pre-arranged opera-tion on Thursday, following a gar-den party at the Palace.

Details of the original symptoms behind his admission have not been

released, but it is thought the pro-cedure did not involve his heart or bladder, with which he has experi-enced problems before. The prince was admitted to hospital twice last year because of a bladder infection that forced him to miss the last of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee cele-brations. He also suffered a blocked coronary artery the previous

Christmas that required surgery.Despite being admitted to hos-

pital on several occasions in recent years, the prince, known for his active lifestyle, has maintained a busy schedule, and in April visited Canada for a “private working visit”.

He was at the Queen’s side at Westminster Abbey last Tuesday for the 60th anniversary of her

coronation and on Wednesday toured a Victorian steamship, the SS Robin, in London’s East End.

On Thursday, just before the garden party, the Queen invested Prince Philip with New Zealand’s highest honour, making him an ad-ditional member of the Order of New Zealand to mark the Diamond Jubilee.

SOuTh african Presi-dent Jacob Zuma has reported that nelson Mandela is respond-ing better to treat-ment in hospital fol-lowing a “difficult few days”. he told parliament that he was happy with the progress being made by the 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader, who is suffering from a lung infection.

“I am happy to report that Madiba is responding bet-ter to treatment from this morning,” Mr Zuma said at a budget hearing, using the icon’s clan name.

Mr Zuma, speaking 49 years after Mandela was sen-tenced to life in prison, paid tribute to his predecessor and the others who were im-prisoned that day as heroes of South African democracy: “Because of their sacrifices and the foundation that was laid for a free and democratic South Africa, our country is a much better place to live in now than it was before 1994, even though we still have so

much work to do.”He also thanked people

around the world for their prayers: “We appreciate the messages of support from all over the world. It is an honour for us as South Africans to share Madiba with the inter-national community. We are so proud to call him our own. We urge South Africans and the international community to continue to keep President Mandela and the medical

team in their thoughts and prayers.”

Mandela is in a Pretoria hospital where he is receiving treatment for a recurring in-fection. His grandson Mandla said: “We are grateful that my grandfather has continued to have support from the presidency ... we also want to thank the doctors who have worked around the clock to look after him while he is in hospital.”

wwii planeThe RaF Museum says it is “absolutely delighted” that aircraft wreckage has been successfully raised from the english Channel. The last surviving World War Two German dornier 17 was shot down and crash landed on Goodwin Sands, around six miles off the Kent coast, on august 26, 1940 and has lain there ever since, covered by sand.

Recent poor weather and technical prob-lems had hampered previous attempts to raise the wreckage, but divers were able to use an opportunity of calm weather on Monday evening. A few fragments of the fragile plane dropped off during the recovery, but the mu-seum said divers will recover them and they will added to the main body of the aircraft.

“To say we are absolutely delighted with this moment would be an understatement,” the museum tweeted.

The plane is an unimpressive, rusty, sea-weed-clad shell at the moment, but experts at the Sir Michael Beetham Conservation Centre in Shropshire will be charged with restoring it to its former glory.

A team of experts from Seatech lived on a barge for the past month, diving sometimes up to four times a day as they prepared to lift the plane with cables. A steel rod running between the bomb door and tail section was used to add extra support.


They are brand new to Tenerife; in fact, they are brand new to anywhere! you may not have heard of Bamboo towels before, but they are here and they are fabulous.

Take an opportunity to discover the benefits of having bamboo bath towels. Picture yourself getting out of the bath or shower and wrapping yourself in pure heaven, in possibly the softest bath tow-el ever. Bamboo towels allow you to dry yourself off quickly due to their premium absorbent properties while also giving you the luxurious feeling of the softest fabric you have ever felt against your body.

Pure cotton can often feel a bit rough to the touch; not only will you find that the towels are exceptionally soft and ab-sorbent, but you will also find that they are durable for everyday use. They are also perfect for people who want to main-tain a hygienic environment, because they are naturally odour resistant due to the fibres fast-drying characteristics. So say goodbye to that disgusting mildew smell you get from other towels from time to time, and bathe in serenity.

Bamboo fabric is created from the bam-boo pulp and is 100% biodegradable. It is also anti-bacterial and hypo-allergenic;

bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial and re-sists mould, mildew, fungi and dust mites. These properties remain intact, making it suitable for those with eczema, hyper-sensitive skin or hay fever caused by dust mite.

Even better news is that bamboo fabric require less frequent washing, it needs no more than a 30˚C wash and dries in half the time of cotton. Tumble dry low and remove from dryer as soon as it stops to avoid unnecessary creasing.

The only place that actually stocks these delicious items is Antiquities Tener-ife in Las Chafiras. The have stock in three different colours, soft brown, grey and aubergine and at the moment they have an offer for one bath towel and a hand towel for just 15,00 Euros.

facebookparty CarnageTeenaGeRS celebrating the end of their exams threw bottles at po-lice officers as they tried to break up an “out of hand” house party. an estimated 150 people - many of them gate-crashers - turned up at the property on a private estate in Surrey, after an invitation to the party that was posted on Face-book went viral.

A police helicopter was scrambled and sev-eral police cars were sent to the house, fol-lowing reports of a “large scale disturbance”. At least one of the revellers is thought to have been bitten by a police dog as officers, who were pelted with bottles and other missiles, tried to disperse the group. A female police officer suffered bruising and a swollen hand when she was assaulted by one of the young-sters.

Inspector Angie Austin, of Surrey Police, said she had been “sickened and disgusted” by what she described as a scene of “carnage”.

Inspector Paul Grove added: “This incident demonstrates the dangers which police offic-ers face on a daily basis and a full investiga-tion will now follow to find those responsible for the disturbance in a bid to bring them to justice. Surrey Police will not tolerate such vio-lent behaviour against officers and members of the public.”

The host, who has not been named, said he “probably invited too many people” when he

set up the party as a private event on Face-book. “The people I invited then invited their friends and the chain effect took hold,” he said.

Two 17-year-olds were arrested and released on bail in connection with the disturbance.


hOllyWOOd’S a-listers have joined forces in a video calling for world leaders to rid the planet of nuclear weapons. Michael douglas recruited fellow actors such as Robert de niro, Morgan Freeman and Matt damon to take part in the two-minute film released by cam-paign group Global Zero.

The celebrities, who also include Alex Baldwin, Danny DeVito and Martin Sheen, urge US President Barack Obama to bring about further cuts the Cold War weapons stock-piles.

The video was released to coincide with the G-8 Summit in Northern Ire-land, where Mr Obama is expected to discuss nu-clear arms with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Global Zero is an in-ternational organisation launched in 2008 in an ef-fort to eliminate and se-cure all nuclear weapons.

The duchess of Cam-bridge conducted her last solo public engage-ment before giving birth in July. She was present at a ship nam-ing ceremony in South-ampton, where Kate became godmother of the Royal Princess after smashing a bottle over its hull.

The Duchess, now in the final weeks of her pregnancy, also toured the ship in a brief tour.

Although it was the 31-year-old’s last solo engagement, she is expected to attend Trooping the Colour on Saturday.

The Royal Princess, built at a construction yard near Venice, was blessed in the ceremony,

which was also attended by charities of which Kate, Prince William and Prince Harry are patrons.

The 3,600-passenger ship in-cludes an over-water ‘sea walk’ and a top-deck glass-bottomed walkway, which extends 28ft beyond the edge of the ship. The vessel, which is scheduled to make her maiden voyage on June 16th, is home to the larg-est pastry shop at sea as well as poolside cabanas.

The naming ceremony is a long-standing royal tradition. The predecessor to the Royal Princess was launched by Diana, Princess of Wales in 1984. The Queen named the Queen Eliza-beth in 2010 and the Duchess of Cornwall named the Queen Victoria three years earlier.

Oldest man On The planet Dies

JIROeMOn Kimura, the oldest man to have ever lived has died in Japan. The 116-year-old was also the world’s oldest living person, was admit-ted to a Kyoto hospi-tal for pneumonia in May but passed away in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The Guinness World Re-cords said Mr Kimura was crowned the world’s old-est person on December 17, 2012, after the death of for-mer title holder, a 115-year-old US woman.

He was asked about the secret to his long life on his 115th birthday: “I don’t know exactly,” he said. “Maybe it’s all thanks to the sun above me. I am always looking up towards the sky that is how I am.”

Born on April 19, 1897 the same year as former Brit-ish Prime Minister Anthony Eden, Nazi propagandist Jo-seph Goebbels and children’s writer Enid Blyton, Mr Kimu-ra worked at his local post office and also did some farming at his home after retiring.

He leaves seven children, 14 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and 15 great-great-grandchildren.

Japan has over 50,000 people who are aged 100

and over, 2011 government data showed, reinforcing its reputation for longevity. The world’s longest living

woman, 115-year-old Misao Ookawa, also comes from Japan and now becomes the oldest person on the planet.

a POll for the Food Stand-ards agency found 43% of consumers ignore “use by” dates - with many pre-ferring to sniff food or check its colour to decide whether it is fine to eat. Some 29% admitted eat-ing food which had been dropped on the floor, and 21% said they did not wash their hands before prepar-ing food. Over a third said they washed chicken be-fore cooking it - potentially splashing bacteria around the sink area.

The study, to mark the launch of Food Safety Week, also found 35% of people do not check “use by” dates. Unlike “best before” dates, “use by” dates relate to safety and are based on scientific testing.

Of the 83% who admitted to one or more habits when cooking at home that could put them at risk of food poisoning, the same per-centage said they had confidence in their food hygiene all or most of the time, while 93% said they be-lieved they had never given family or friends food poisoning.

And if they did fall ill themselves, only 5% said they considered whether the cleanliness of their own kitchen was the cause.

There is a theory known as the

three-second rule or five-second rule that if food dropped on the floor is picked up quickly enough, it is safe to eat.

TV’s cleaning expert Aggie Mac-Kenzie, star of Channel 4’s How Clean Is Your House, says it is easy to avoid food poisoning, and dis-pels myths about ‘the five-second rule’. MacKenzie, said: “It depends on how clean the floor is. If you’ve just cleaned it, fine. But if the dog

has been rolling around in it, may-be not. Bacteria grow in a warm, moist environment, so the drier it (the food) is, the safer you are, possibly.”

While admitting she was a “sniff-er”, she added: “It is not the saf-est thing to do. You should stick to ‘use by’ dates, and if you think you are not going to use your food by the ‘use by’ date you should freeze it.”

Asked if some germs were need-ed to build a good immune system, she replied: “Absolutely. It’s about getting it right. I know that there is evidence to say that children who grow up in farms, who are much more exposed to bacteria, there is much less incidence of asthma and other diseases like that. But the single most significant thing you can do to avoid food poisoning is to wash your hands before pre-

paring and eating food and after you’ve been to the loo, and to dry them on a clean towel. There is a huge incidence of food poisoning - much more than there should be - and it is very easy to combat this.”

Scottish writer Iain Banks has died aged 59 after a bat-

tle with cancer. The author had posted on his website in april that he was in the final stages of gall bladder cancer and was unlikely to live beyond a year.

His publisher Little, Brown Book Group released a statement con-firming he had died: “On behalf of Iain’s wife, Adele, it is with enormous sadness that Little, Brown announc-es the death of Iain Banks. Banks has been one of the country’s best loved novelists for both his main-stream and science fiction books. After his own recent announcement of his cancer Iain Banks was hugely moved by the public support for him via his website.

“Just three weeks ago he was pre-sented with finished copies of his last novel, The Quarry and enjoyed celebration parties with old friends and fans across the publishing world. Iain Banks’ ability to combine the most fertile of imaginations with his own highly distinctive brand of gothic humour made him unique. He is an irreplaceable part of the lit-erary world.”

In the last few weeks he had writ-ten a series of blogs about his health and feelings about life. Some of his experiences of illness are expected to appear in the pages of The Quar-ry, due out on June 20.

He is best known for books like The Wasp Factory and The Crow Road, which was made into a TV se-

ries. Writing under the name Iain M Banks, he also wrote a series of sci-ence fiction books. He won a range

of accolades for his science fiction and also a handful for his traditional novels. In 2008, The Times named

him as one of the 50 greatest Brit-ish writers since 1945. As of March 2013, he had published 26 novels, several of which have been adapted for TV, radio and theatre.

He was involved in a range of po-litical and social causes. He was an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society, had spoken in fa-vour of Scottish independence, and had written and spoken about Brit-ain’s involvement in the 2003 Iraq War and the situation in the Pales-tinian Territories.

He was married twice. He met his first wife Annie in London before the release of his first book in 1984, but the couple separated in 2007.

In April it was announced that he had married his partner Adele Hart-ley, in a Humanist ceremony, after asking her to be his “widow”. The couple honeymooned in Italy.

Many fans reacted quickly to the news of his death on Twitter. Among those who left tributes were book-shop Waterstones, who said: “Very sad to hear of Iain’s passing this morning - a great Scottish writer who will be sadly missed.”

Comedian and broadcaster John O’Farrell said: “So sad to hear of death of brilliant and charming Iain Banks. The Wasp Factory was the first book I finished and then imme-diately read again.”

Comedian and writer Andrew Col-lins said: “Hands up who *hasn’t* read The Wasp Factory? Exactly. Iain Banks touched a lot of people in his unfairly foreshortened life. RIP.”

MelISSa ann Shepard, nicknamed the ‘Black Wid-ow’ has pleaded guilty to drugging a man she had only just married.

The 78-year-old Canadian was charged last October after her husband of only four days, Fred Weeks, 75, fell ill at a bed and breakfast in Nova Scotia. She pleaded guilty to administering a noxious substance and failing to provide the necessities of life.

Prosecutor Gerald MacDonald said outside Nova Scotia Supreme Court in Sydney that an attempt-ed murder charge was dropped because the prosecution could not prove that Shepard intended to kill Mr Weeks.

Shepard became known as the ‘Black Widow’ because of prior convictions linked to her past relationships. She was con-victed of manslaughter in 1992 in the death of her second hus-band, Gordon Stewart, who she drugged and ran over twice with a car.

In 2005, Shepard - who had used several other surnames - was sentenced to five years in prison on seven counts of theft from a man in Florida who she had met online. Alex Strategos, now 81, said she stole $20,000 (£12,850) from him over the month that they lived together.

In the latest case, the prosecu-tion read an agreed statement of facts in court, saying Shepard mixed in the tranquilisers’ Loraze-pam andTtemazepam into Weeks’ drinks while they were aboard a ferry. They were on their way from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, to Port-aux-Basques, Newfound-

land, for their honeymoon.A ferry employee told investi-

gators that when Mr Weeks came aboard the ferry bound for New-foundland, he was spry enough to walk the 200m from his car to a lift. He was cracking jokes when he and Shepard were escorted to their cabin on September 26 but was “a totally different person” the next day, the employee said. He said that Mr Weeks was unable to walk and needed a wheelchair, couldn’t put on his shoes and didn’t know where his car keys were.

The couple briefly stayed in a Newfoundland hotel but checked out that same day before return-ing to North Sydney, where they stayed at a bed and breakfast. It was there he fell out of bed and was taken to hospital, the state-ment said.

At the hospital, Shepard mis-informed medical staff saying he had had bowel surgery, pros-tate problems and was suffer-ing from dementia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, the court heard. She also told hospital officials that Mr Weeks, a father of six adult children, had no other family.

She married Mr Weeks in a civil ceremony on September 25, a few weeks after they met. But their marriage was later declared invalid by the province’s Vital Sta-tistics Division after it said false information was provided on the marriage certificate.

Shepard faces a maximum sen-tence of two years for the charge of administering a noxious thing and 18 months for failing to pro-vide the necessities of life.

www.tenerife-weekly.com Tenerife Weekly - 14th June 2013 - 20th June 2013 25 huGe variations in death rates from diseases have been highlighted by a new interactive “atlas” of eng-land released by Public health england (Phe).

The health map shows that peo-ple living in Wokingham have the lowest risk of a premature death, with only 200 in every 100,000 people dying before the age of 75. People in Manchester are more than twice as likely to die early, with the highest rate in England of 455 in every 100,000. Overall 103,000 people a year die prematurely from cancer, or diseases of the heart, lung or liver.

Health secretary Jeremy Hunt said: “This shocking variation in ear-ly and unnecessary deaths means people’s lives are needlessly cut short, and that cannot continue unchecked. I want areas to use the data to identify local public health challenges like smoking, drinking and obesity and to take action to help achieve our ambition for sav-ing 30,000 lives a year by 2020.”

The highest death rate from cancer in the country was also in Manchester, with 152 deaths per 100,000 people recorded, as well as from heart disease and stroke, with 116 deaths per 100,000 people.

Manchester and Blackpool are the two local authorities that recorded the worst results for specific caus-es of death highlighted by Public Health England - heart disease and stroke, cancer, liver disease and lung disease North Yorkshire, York and East Riding of Yorkshire are the only three local authorities north of Derbyshire to be ranked among the country’s ‘best’ for premature mortality outcomes.

The PHE website, http://longer-lives.phe.org.uk,enables people to search for local health statistics and uses a traffic light system, ranging from red for the worst ar-eas to green for the best. For the first time users will be able to com-pare the chances of a premature death to other areas with a similar socio-economic make-up.

It shows that areas such as Kens-ington and Chelsea, Enfield and

Rotherham are doing better than average for their local population, with high rates of deprivation, yet lower than expected premature death rates. By contrast Bracknell Forest, York and Milton Keynes are underperforming despite their more affluent residents.

Professor John Newton, who compiled the data, said councils now have responsibility for im-

proving public health - with a ring-fenced budget of £5.5bn over two years: “You have to look at the physical environment people are living in. That may not have much to do with the NHS. Councils influ-ence transport and housing. It is a shared responsibility,” he said.

But Councillor Zoe Patrick, chair of the Local Government Associa-tion’s community wellbeing board,

said: “This data must be used with caution. Using it out of context to create any sort of national league table dangerously oversimplifies matters and ignores the very com-plex socio-economic and cultural factors that affect the premature mortality rate. Attempts to meas-ure performance and rank councils in this way are therefore deeply troubling.”

a neW system of dis-ability benefit pay-ments is being rolled out across Britain as the Government con-tinues its welfare re-forms. The Personal Independence Pay-ment (PIP) is replacing disability living allow-ance (dla) after an in-itial trial in the north of england.

The new system includes face-to-face assessment and regular reviews, with critics warning hundreds of thou-sands could lose their ben-efits as a result. It is now be-ing rolled out across England, Wales and Scotland, although some existing working age claimants will start to be re-assessed from October.

Ministers claim the new benefit will target resources more effectively and help those with physical and men-tal illnesses live independent-ly.

Esther McVey, Minister for Disabled People, said: “Dis-ability Living Allowance is an out dated benefit intro-duced over 20 years ago and was very much a product of its time. The Personal Inde-pendence Payment has been designed to better reflect today’s understanding of dis-ability, particularly to update our thinking on mental health and fluctuating conditions.

We are introducing a new face-to-face assessment and regular reviews - something missing in the current sys-tem. This will ensure the bil-lions we spend on the benefit give more targeted support to those who need it most.”

Work and Pensions Secre-tary Iain Duncan Smith has described the previous sys-tem as “ridiculous” and the rigorous new checks as “com-mon sense”.

Applicants will now be as-sessed on how they carry out a range of activities including

washing, dressing, cooking and getting around as well as reading and communicating.

When DLA was introduced in 1992, it covered 1.1million people and cost £3bn. The annual bill has now soared to more than £12bn. In the past decade, the number of claimants has risen by almost a third from 2.4 million to 3.3 million.

Some welfare campaigners have warned that a number of people who would qualify for the existing DLA will not meet the criteria for the PIP.

Disability payments Shake up

Cancer warning

The leading cancer charity estimates that in seven years’ time 47% of Britons will be di-agnosed with the disease. But it also says that almost four in 10 patients (38%) will survive the disease or die from other causes first.

Experts analysed existing data on cancer prevalence, incidence and mortality and found that the proportion of people who will develop cancer at some point in their lives has increased by more than a third over the past two decades. In 1992, 32% of people who died that year had been diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives and by 2010 this had risen to 44%. The number who gets cancer but don’t die from the disease has increased by 67% over the past 20 years.

In 1992, around one in five people who had been diagnosed with cancer ultimately died from another cause, and by 2010, this had risen to more than one in three.

The charity said that though the survival trend is “encouraging”, there is growing evi-dence that many cancer patients do not re-turn to full health after treatments and the serious side effects of the disease.

“That we live longer as a nation, and that we are improving cancer treatment, are things to celebrate,” said Macmillan’s chief medical officer Professor Jane Maher. “We do, how-ever, need to add a serious note of caution:

the more successful we are with treatment and cure, the more people we have living with the long-term effects of cancer and its treatment. Many patients can be left with physical health and emotional problems long after treatment has ended. People struggle with fatigue, pain, immobility, or an array of other troublesome side-effects. We need to manage these consequences for the sake of the patient, but also for the sake of the tax-payer. We should plan to have more services to help people stay well at home, rather than waiting until they need hospital treatment.”

The charity’s chief executive, Ciaran Dev-ane, added: “Because of the progress in healthcare - ironically largely for conditions other than cancer - in only seven years’ time nearly half the population will get can-cer in their lifetime. This poses a herculean challenge for the NHS and for society. The NHS will not be able to cope with the huge increase in demand for cancer services with-out a fundamental shift towards proper after-care, without more care delivered in the community, and without engaging can-cer patients in their own health. Until then, the help and support that organisations like Macmillan provide will become even more ur-gent and important to ensure no one faces cancer alone.”

Shocking Death rates “atlas”Premature mortality outcomes worst worse than average better than average best

aCCORdInG to research by Macmillan Cancer Support, almost one out of every two people in the uK will suffer from cancer during their lifetime by 2020.

TT race injures 11Ten spectators were injured, one seriously, during a crash in the first lap of the senior Isle of Man TT motorcycle race. Rider Jonathan howarth, who was involved in the smash, sus-tained a minor fracture. The race was red flagged as emer-gency services rushed to the scene.

Organisers ACU Events Ltd said in a statement: “The 10 spectators and the rider were taken to hospital with injuries ranging from slight to serious but not life threatening. Four of the spectators have been discharged, five of the injured have been kept in hospital and one remains un-der observation in the emergency depart-ment.”

Witnesses took to Twitter immedi-ately after the crash, which happened at around 1pm.

One spectator, Phil Bancroft, described how he was “shaking like a leaf” after coming close to being struck by the bike. He tweeted: “Bike heading for me. Just ducked. Hit by bits of bike. Ok thou. I just hope those poor people are ok. I honestly thought I was dead. I’ve had a close miss once before on the finishing flag team. But never anything like this. I thought I was a goner. Quite horrible it was. Never been that close to serious injury at the TT.”

Organisers restarted the race at 4.30pm.

The International Isle of Man TT (Tour-ist Trophy) motorcycling event is run in a time-trial format on public roads which are closed for the event.

Doe-ritosWhIle on patrol on Saturday in the Florida Keys, the Monroe County sheriff’s deputy discovered a Key deer with its entire head stuck in an emp-ty doritos bag. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Becky herrin said the deer allowed the deputy to re-move the bag without a struggle.

The sheriff’s office subsequently posted a picture of the deer taken just before the deputy removed the bag, on its Fa-cebook page. Ms Herrin said: “It must have wanted that last chip in the bottom of the bag.” She then asked Florida Keys visitors to properly dispose of their rubbish in order to protect animals from harm.

Key deer are the smallest of the Virginia white-tailed deer subspecies and are endangered.

The US Fish and Wildlife Services say the deer have been threatened by development, habitat loss and hurricanes.


a JudGe has ordered an in-quiry into Paris Jackson’s health and well-being as she recovers in hospital following an apparent suicide attempt. Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beck-loff who is overseeing the guardianship of Michael Jackson’s three children ordered an investigator to look into the 15-year-old’s health, education and welfare and recommend whether any changes are necessary, according to court records.

The order came a day after Paris was taken by ambulance on a stretcher from the Jackson fam-ily home in Calabasas, California, to hospital. Authorities have said they called to her home after receiving a call of a possible overdose, but have not released any further de-tails.

“There have been communica-tions between the court and coun-sel and we’re completely support-ive of the court’s actions,” Perry Sanders Jr, the attorney for Paris’s grandmother Katherine Jackson, said. He went on to say that Paris is physically well and receiving ap-propriate medical treatment.

Paris and her two brothers, Prince and Blanket, went to live with their grandmother Katherine following the death of their father in 2009. Judge Beckloff issued a similar inquiry into the well-being

of all three children last year after an incident in which Katherine was out of communication with them for several days.

The Jackson family matriarch had been taken by some of her children to a resort in Arizona, prompting an agreement that led to Tito Jack-son’s son, TJ, being appointed co-guardian over the children.

.”This is standard protocol in a high profile case,” his attorney

Charles Shultz wrote in an email. “The court is doing what we fully expected the court to do.”

The report of the first inquiry has not been made public, although Judge Beckloff has stated that he believes Katherine has been doing a good job of raising her son’s chil-dren. The new inquiry requires an investigator to prepare a report which again only Judge Beckloff will be allowed to review.

SWIMMInG champion turned actress, esther Wil-liams, who starred in glit-tering, aquatic musicals of the 1940s and 1950s, has died at the age of 91. She died in her sleep, ac-cording to her long time publicist harlan Boll.

She came to films after winning 100m freestyle and other races at the 1939 national championships and appearing at the San Francisco World’s Fair’s swimming exhibition, becoming one of Hollywood’s big-gest stars, appearing in spectacu-lar swimsuit numbers. The films included Easy to Wed, Neptune’s Daughter and Dangerous When Wet.

At the end of big studios and costly musicals in the mid-1950s, Williams tried non-swimming roles with little success.

After her 1962 marriage to Fernando Lamas, her co-star in Dangerous When Wet, she retired from public life. She explained in a 1984 interview: “A really terrific guy comes along and says, ‘I wish you’d stay home and be my wife,’ and that’s the most logical thing in the world for a Latin. And I loved being a Latin wife - you get treat-ed very well. There’s a lot of atten-tion in return for that sacrifice.”

After Lamas’ death in 1982, Wil-liams was back in the spotlight. Having popularised synchronised swimming with her movies, she was co-host of the event on tel-evision at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. She issued a video teaching children how to swim and sponsored her own line of swim-suits.

Her autobiography, published in 1999, was entitled The Million Dol-lar Mermaid.

IT will bring back memories for many here in Tenerife who remember the forest fires last summer, although the fires in

Colorado are much worse.Up to 100 homes are thought to have been

destroyed by wildfires burning out of control in Colorado. Officials are worried that people who ignored the evacuation order and stayed behind may have died. Authorities initially estimated that between 40 and 60 houses were destroyed in Black Forest, a heavily wooded residential area northeast of Colorado Springs.

El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa now believes around 80 homes have been lost and he would not be surprised if the figure reaches or tops 100. He added that there are no reports of anyone missing in the fire; however he is worried about those who chose to stay behind: “One of my worst fears is that people took their chances and it may have cost them their life,” he said.

The fire was one of several that broke out along Colorado’s Front Range on Tuesday and

quickly spread in high winds and record heat. It has burned about 12 square miles and forced the evacuation of more than 7,000 people in an area over 47 square miles. The area is not far from last summer’s devastating Waldo Canyon Fire that destroyed 346 homes and killed two.

“Everywhere you looked, you saw scattered fires, almost like there was a huge convention of

campfires everywhere, and periodically you’d see trees just pop into a fireball,” Sheriff Maketa said.

About 60 miles southwest of the Black Forest fire, a six-square-mile wildfire near Royal Gorge Bridge Park remains out of control, but winds have been pushing the flames away from Canon City and structures.

The Royal Gorge blaze has destroyed three structures near Canon City, but the soaring suspension bridge spanning a canyon across the Arkansas River appears undamaged. The bridge has wood planking but is suspended by steel supports. It is normally a tourist attraction but fire fighters are now using it to access the fire.

More than 900 prisoners at the nearby Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility were moved to other prisons because of the danger from heavy smoke, although the prison building was not directly affected by the fire.

A third wildfire in southern Colorado erupted on Tuesday in rural Huerfano County. The Klikus Fire had burned an estimated 45 to 50 acres west of La Veta, prompting evacuation orders for about 200 residences. The causes of those fires have not been immediately confirmed.

Another fire sparked by lightning on Monday in Rocky Mountain National Park has now grown to an estimated 300 to 400 acres. No structures were threatened.

Wildfires were also burning in New Mexico and California, where a smokejumper was killed fighting one of dozens of lightning-sparked fires. Luke Sheehy, of Susanville, California, was fatally injured by part of a falling tree in Modoc National Forest.

Tenerife Weekly - 14th June 2013 - 20th June 2013 Facebook.com/TenerifeWeekly30 mel Brooks Honoured at Life achievement awards

ROBeRT deniro and Morgan Freeman were among a host of hollywood stars who paid tribute to vet-eran film maker Mel Brooks at the ameri-can Film Institute’s 41st life achieve-ment awards, held in los angeles. The pair jokingly pointed out they had not been lucky enough to work with the great producer.

Actor and comedian Martin Short opened the programme with a song-and-dance routine set to a string of melodies from Brooks’ films, which includ-ed Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and The Pro-ducers: “The word genius is used a lot in Hollywood, so I might as well call Mel one,” Short said.

Billy Crystal, Amy Poehler, Sarah Silverman, Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, Clo-ris Leachman, David Lynch, Larry David and Carl Reiner were at the good-humoured private dinner at the Dolby Theatre for the 86-year-old.

“We are going to miss you so much, Mel,” Kimmel joked. “You were one of the greats. Rest in peace, my friend.”

David blamed Brooks for his idle years as an aspir-

ing comedian: “Mel Brooks didn’t get me into comedy, he kept me away from it,” David said, recalling how he was intimidated by Brooks’ talent. “I spent years doing nothing because of him.”

Past recipients of the AFI honour include Elizabeth Taylor, Kirk Douglas, Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Martin Scorsese, who presented Brooks with his award. Scorsese put the Oscar and Tony-winning talent in the same category as the Marx Brothers, Laurel & Hardy and Abbott & Costello: “Mel has made his own tradition of greatness, and it’s that tradition - drawing from the past, honouring it, toy-ing with it, vamping on it, extending it to places wise men, very funny men previ-ously feared to go - that’s what we’re celebrating here and honouring tonight,” Scorsese said.”Mel has al-ways made his own way, and he brought us all along for the joyride.”

Brooks was all comedy as

he claimed his prize insist-ing: “I’m not gonna die.” But he also showed his serious

side as he thanked the in-stitute for the award and for sharing his lifelong love

of film: “Movies saved my life,” he said. “They rescued my soul. No matter what

was bad or wrong, it could be wiped out on Saturday morning.”

kick ass goes first Class!

haVe you ever begun watching a brand new series, investing sev-eral hours of your valuable time and, upon getting well and truly hooked, are devastated to discov-er that your favourite new show has been cancelled due to poor rat-ings or something-annoying right? Well this could be a thing of the past, thanks to an innovative new company called Kickstarter!

Kickstarter is an American-based private for-profit company founded in 2009 that provides tools to raise funds for creative pro-jects via crowd funding through its website.

In layman’s terms, it means that if enough people like and miss a cancelled show, they can literally resurrect it from the dead by helping to fund a new series!!

The company has already funded a large and diverse list of projects such as film, music, stage shows, comics and video games. People investing in Kickstarter projects cannot profit financially but instead; “in exchange a tangi-ble reward or one-of-a-kind experience, like a personal note of thanks, custom T-shirts, din-ner with an author, or initial production run of a new product.”

Named by Time magazine as one of the best

inventions of 2010 and one of the best web-sites of 2011, most of the projects helped by the company so far have been smaller indie projects but a recent campaign to raise funds for a movie based on the cult show “Veroni-ca Mars” has been so successful (Kickstarter raised $2 million in an astoundingly quick time and now the movie is green-lit), other shows that fans felt were gone too soon or left un-resolved may also get a second chance:

Terriers - An ex-cop and a criminal form an unlicensed private eye business in this crime comedy caper was cancelled after one season -a wrap up movie could be on the cards.

Pushing daisies - This surreal comedy drama about a pie maker who can bring dead things to life by his touch, but only if some-thing else dies in its place- lasted 2 seasons and looks set for a campaign to reanimate it.

Chuck - This comedy/spy/drama had a good run of 5 seasons but star Zachary Levi has spoken of his desire to make a movie “Kickstarter style”

Firefly - Fans of this criminally cancelled “space western” have their own name (brown-coats) and already managed to get a movie out of Marvel golden boy Joss Whedon’s show, but it’s a prime candidate for its in-credibly loyal fans to try to resurrect via Kick-starter.

ThIS could get confusing..It seems that two actors playing two different characters in the “Kick ass” movie series are front-runners to play the same charac-ter for two different film studios in two sequels to two separate su-perhero franchises....still with me?

Let me explain- Brit actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson-who plays the title role of Kick Ass in the original and it’s soon to be released sequel, is in talks with Marvel and writer/director Joss Whedon to play the role of Quicksilver in the highly anticipated “Avengers 2” movie.

Quicksilver is one of two new major charac-ters that Whedon plans to introduce in the su-per-sequel, real name Pietro Maximoff, Quick-silver, like rival DC comics The Flash, moves at superhuman speeds, he is also the son of X-Men bad guy Magneto and twin brother to Wanda Maximoff, who is Scarlet Witch and is also set to appear in the Avengers movie.

Here’s where it gets complicated (Like it isn’t already? Ed) movie rights to Magneto,from X-Men, are owned by 20th Century Fox, but Disney/Marvel and Fox share the rights to his offspring and the rival studio have just cast Evan Peters as Quicksilver in the upcoming “X-men First Class “sequel, “X-Men-Days of Future Past.”

Peters played Todd Haynes, Kick Ass’s best

friend in Kick Ass, however the actor will not reprise the role in “Kick Ass 2”, which sees the Character assume the mantle of, wait for it- Ass-Kicker!!

Whew!! I’m off to draw up some kind of wall chart!

SO the latest on the Beibmeister is he’s to be shot into space (some may think if only that had hap-pened in the first place!) not content with annoying this planet he intends to annoy our planetary neighbours with his incessant warbling by shooting a music vid-eo in orbit!

The Canadian pop star is the latest to sign up for Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Ga-lactic space mission along with celebrities such as Ashton Kutcher and Leon-ardo DiCaprio.

Virgin Galactic in April completed a trial run of its passenger spacecraft and already has “tens of millions of pounds” in deposits from hopeful space travellers.

The trip, which will cost $200,000 and takes off from a spaceport in New Mexico, will carry passengers 62 miles above the planet.

Back in February Lil Justy tweeted; “I wanna do a

concert in space”, to which Nasa retweeted: “Maybe we can help you with that.”-really? You wouldn’t think NASA would have the time to retweet the muppet- being

a little busy with, oh I don’t know, space stuff!?!?

I’d like to ask Sir Rich-ard just one question, any chance of doing a one-way ticket?

The two notebook pages date back to Mr Lincoln’s childhood and were used to write math problems and their answers. The pages are believed to be from the 1826, when he was aged 17.

After the 16th president’s death, his stepmother gave the notebook to Mr Lincoln law partner William Herndon. The notebook was found in the archives of Houghton Li-brary at Harvard University, where it remains. The newly authenticated pages have

been in the Harvard library’s archives since 1954. Their ex-istence was known, but their origin was not - and now they might help shed light on Mr Lincoln’s studies.

The president was known to play down his formal edu-cation, but the notebook suggests he may have spent more time in school than pre-viously thought. Given the difficulty of the problems in-volved and the dates on the notebook, which range from 1824 to 1826, historians say

he may have gone to school for up to two years: “Most people say he went to school for anything between three months and nine months” over the course of his life, math professor Ken Clem-ents said. “We think he went to school (up to) two years. He made very few errors, and he always knew what he was trying to do,” Prof Clements added.

Mr Lincoln served as the US president from 1861 until his assassination in 1865.

PaRT of a math notebook believed to be the oldest surviving document written by abraham lincoln have been authenticat-ed.


dO you remember all those little things that your mother used to tell you? Well many of those little white lies are just not true!

1. Going outside in cold weather with wet hair will make you ill.

Many studies have been made on this subject and abso-lutely no truth has been found in the rumour.

2. Cracking your knuckles causes arthritis

Not true. You will not get arthritis from cracking your knuckles. There have been re-ports, however, in medical cir-cles that link knuckle cracking with injury of ligaments sur-rounding the joint or disloca-tion of the tendons.

3. Napoleon was shortNapoleon’s height was given

as 5 feet 2 inches, but he was 5 feet 2 inches using French units, When this is converted to UK units his height was almost 5 feet 7 inches tall which was taller than most at that time.

4. You have to stretch be-fore exercise

Stretching before exercise is the usual way to improve performance and avoid injury, however researchers are find-ing that it actually slows us down. Italian research studying cyclists state that stretching is counterproductive. There has never been solid scientific evidence that pre-exercise stretching reduces injury risk.

5. Dogs age at seven years per one human year

Not according to the ex-

perts. Dogs mature faster than humans, reaching the human equivalent of 21 years in only two, and then aging slows down to more like four human years per year. If you want to know your dog’s age, subtract two from its age, multiply that by four and add 21.

6. Margarine is one mol-ecule away from paint.

Where on earth do these stories come from? The story is that margarine is but one mol-ecule away from being plastic... and shares 27 ingredients with paint.

This is rubbish; in fact, mar-garine has no cholesterol as it is made from vegetable oil. But-ter has 33 mg of cholesterol per TABLESPOON.

Margarine is mainly made from vegetable oil, mixed with skimmed milk, salt and emulsi-fiers. Very few ingredients, so how can it share 27 ingredients with paint?

As for margarine being one molecule away from being plas-tic, that’s just not true.

SO another series of Britain’s Got Talent has come to an end. The win-ners were a group of shadow danc-ers from hungary. They were quite sensational and they deserved to win. It appears now though, that a great number of people think they shouldn’t have won because they were from hungary and not from Britain.

Whilst this claim makes sense, the compe-tition has always allowed people from other countries to enter, so why should it be a prob-lem that they won, especially considering the fabulously patriotic British style performance that they gave us.

I have to point out that a wonderful old British lady won our Spanish equivalent a few years ago. She was a ballroom dancer and boy, could she dance. The Spanish public embraced her and even translated for her on the show. British people love to moan. Maybe Simon Cow-

ell could start a new series called “Britain’s got moaners”. That would be interested, especially if they came from Hungary. Moaning always sounds the same, whatever the language.

Anyway. Thankfully the whole programme has finished for another year and we can look forward to the grating voice of Sharon Osborne as she reappears as a judge on that other slice of dreariness that they call televi-sion these days.

nOW, I know that this may be of some surprise to those people with bars and restaurants etc. but did you know that there was a 7.8 per cent rise in passengers using the Tenerife South airport in May. This is in contrast to a drop of 7.7 per cent in the same month last year.

5 per cent of the passengers were from outside Spain.So, what I want to know is.... WHERE DID THEY GO? Is there a trapdoor at the airport exit? I

didn’t notice a major rise in numbers of people walking around or changing money at the cash exchanges.

These figures always flummox me. They are announced about a week after the end of the month and they never seem to reflect the pattern that we see on the streets.

I know of various hotels that are currently charging under 30 euros a night as they are far from full.

Anyway, let’s be positive about this. It is good news, next time, I hope they leave their invisibility cloaks at home.

up in may

lI KaI, a Chinese man, has been arrested after claiming on the internet that he elec-trocuted an alien after its uFO landed outside his house.

He said that the alien died when it was fighting with four others in the street. He even posted a picture of it for the world to see. Hopefully, he is now safely locked away in a darkened room when he can’t harm any more beings from other planets.

naSa scientists say their Opportunity rover has made significant new

discoveries about early water on Mars which may even have been drinkable. The unmanned solar-pow-ered vehicle, described as “arthritic” – it is 10 years since its launch - has just analysed what may be its oldest rock ever, known as esperance 6.

It contains evidence that poten-tially life-supporting water once flowed on Mars, leaving clay min-erals behind.

“This is powerful evidence that water interacted with this rock and changed its chemistry, changed its mineralogy in a dramatic way,” said principal investigator Steve Squyres of Cornell University. He described the research as “some of the most important” of the decade-long mission because it showcases a very different chem-istry than most of the previous discoveries about water on Mars, which is now quite dry. Scientists believe that water once flowed through the rocks through some sort of fracture, leaving an unusu-ally high concentration of clay.

The analysis reveals traces of what may have been a drinkable

type of water that dates to the first billion years of Martian his-tory. The clay rocks were forming under a more neutral pH, before conditions became more harsh and water more acidic, Dr Squyres said.

Opportunity and its twin rover Spirit launched in 2003 and land-ed in January 2004 for what was meant to be a three-month explo-ration. Both discovered evidence of wet environments on ancient Mars.

“What Opportunity has most-ly discovered evidence for was sulphuric acid,” Dr Squyres told reporters, outlining the major difference detected in the Esper-ance rock’s formation. “This is wa-ter you could drink,” he said.

The oldest rocks, like Esper-ance, have a neutral pH, signal-ing that early Martian water was “probably much more favour-able in its chemistry, in its pH, in its level of acidity for things like prebiotic chemistry, the kind of chemistry that could lead to the origin of life”.

Now, Opportunity is slowly mak-ing its way, at about 50 metres a day, towards an area a mile away known as Solander Point that con-tains 10 times as many geological layers for study as the area where Esperance was found. It hopes to arrive by August 1.

Drinkable water found On mars


TeneRIFe has very many plants that are commonly grown in gardens and parks but are very poisonous. There are some ones that grow wild as weeds that are very toxic too. It pays to know which plants are safe and which are the dangerous ones if consumed.

One of the most commonly seen dangerous species is the beautiful shrub known as Oleander (Nerium oleander). It has evergreen leaves and masses of pink or white flowers and is often grown in shrub borders and along roads.

The Angel’s Trumpet (Brugman-

sia spp) is another very ornamen-tal shrub or small tree that gets its name from its very big funnel-shaped flowers that hang down from its branches. There are white Angel’s Trumpets and a salmon-pink variety and a red and yellow type.

The flowers give out a very allur-ing perfume, especially at night, but they are real “femme fatales!” All of the Brugmansias are very poisonous but are used for their hallucinogenic properties by tribes in South Ameri-ca where they originally come from.

The plants contain dangerous tro-pane alkaloids including scopolamine and atropine. This latter substance

is also found in Deadly Nightshade (Atropa bella-donna), a very toxic plant that doesn’t grow on Tener-ife, but one which has a name that speaks for itself! The Angel’s Trum-pet species and the Deadly Night-shade are all in the same Solanaceae family which also contains many ed-ible plants such as the Tomato and Potato.

The Brugmansias are very closely related to the Datura species, such as the Thorn-apple (D.stramonium), which a very common weed all over the island. In Spanish it is known as Hierba del Diablo (“Herb of the Devil”) and its name was chosen because it too is a very poisonous plant. The Thorn-apple has a very unpleasant smell and has seed-pods that are rounded, green and spiky. They do bear a resemblance to ap-ples, but they always make me think of Horse-chestnuts or “conkers,” as they are commonly known.

A very common poisonous plant that grows as a weed all over waste-ground and on roadsides is the Cas-tor Oil Plant (Ricinus communis). It is grown for its attractive appearance as a garden plant in many parts of the world but it really is dangerous. It contains Ricine, which is one of the most deadly of all plant poisons. One bean from this plant is enough to kill!

It is in the Euphorbiaceae (Spurge family) and a distant cousin of the Cardón or Canary Island Spurge (Euphorbia canariensis). This is actu-

ally a succulent though many people think of it as a cactus because of its fleshy four-sided stems and spines along the edges. It grows on the semi-desert coastal areas as well as on rocky ground and hillsides. Like most of the plants in the Spurge family it is poisonous and the white juice inside it can burn if you get it on your skin.

Another commonly seen poison-ous plant that grows wild as a weed all around the island is the Tree To-bacco (Nicotiana glauca). It has at-tractive grayish-green leaves and small yellow tubular flowers. As its name suggests it grows into a small tree and is in the same genus as the Tobacco plants. Unlike them though, it contains no nicotine but instead anabasine, which is a powerful in-secticide too is contained in this species. The Tree Tobacco grows in rough ground, along roads, build-ing sites, and just about anywhere its tiny seeds have been dropped. It is regarded as an invasive weed in many parts of the world.

Greater Periwinkle (Vinca major) is a very pretty flower found natu-ralized in many places in Tenerife. It likes a semi-shaded location and

grows as a ground-cover plant. It has five-pointed blue flowers and dark-green evergreen leaves. De-spite its attractive appearance the Periwinkle has been used in wreaths for funerals and an alternative name for the plant is the Flower of Death. Like the Oleander it is another poi-sonous species in the Apocynaceae.

Hemlock (Conium maculatum) is a deadly poisonous plant that is often found growing in waste ground and along paths and roads, especially in the north of the island. It grows to around 2 metres in height and has attractive feathery foliage and umbels of white flowers. It is in the Apiaceae or Parsley family, as is the Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) which is an edible and medicinal herb.

There are many other plants re-lated to Parsely and Fennel that are safe to eat but many others that are very toxic indeed. Hemlock falls into the latter category. Fortunately there are clues to its identity so we know what it is. Hemlock has a hor-rible smell to it and the stems have purplish spots on them. So poison-ous is this plant that even contact with it can cause skin inflammation. Look but don’t touch!

pretty But poisonous plants Of Tenerife

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. Keep up to date with him at: http://greenbard.hubpages.com/

heMlOCK is such a poison-ous plant that it was used to execute prisoners in ancient athens.

Socrates the famous Greek philosopher was its best-known victim.

anglo-Saxon herbals and a myth associated the purple blotches on the stems of Hem-lock with the Bi9blical Mark of Cain.

Hemlock contains the highly toxic alkaloid Coniine and it was used long ago as a pain-reliever and sedative. This use was abandoned for obvious

reasons. However Dioscorides and Pliny recommended it as a treatment for skin diseases. We now know that it is far too dangerous to use.

Nickmaned the iTray, the lightweight, car-bon fibre gadget can travel at speeds of up to 11 metres per second (25mph) with a range of 50 metres.

Waiters and waitresses at the popular res-taurant guide the platter through the air using an iPad app, while kitchen staff can check the food is delivered by watching real-time video feeds from two on-board cameras.

“We’re all about innovation and delivering a whole concept in an unusual and exciting way,” said Robin Rowland, chief executive of YO! Su-shi. “The iTray ... is a way for us to explain how exciting food can be.”

The restaurant chain, credited with bringing the kaiten conveyor belt to the UK, has trialled a number of innovations since its launch in 1997 including speaking robot drinks trolleys, self-heating plates and video game toilets at its 64 UK stores.

The launch of the iTray coincides with the introduction of YO! Sushi’s first burger, made from toasted rice and ingredients including teriyaki chicken, kimchi salmon and prawn katsu.

The iTray is being tested at the company’s flagship branch and could be rolled out nation-wide in 2014.

aquarius 20 January to 18 FebruaryYour charisma may be peaking, attracting new admirers and providing a chance to heat up your love life. There’s an option for lots of fun and romance, and perhaps a chance you might want to make a deeper commitment. Someone you date could be very much on your wavelength, which you’ll find heartening and uplifting. Pay attention to your health and diet. If your exercise routine needs tweaking, go for it. The more active you can be the better!

although you might be content to enjoy some downtime in the privacy of your home, events could conspire to draw you out of yourself. Thoughts of romance, pleasure, and the company of good friends may be too much to resist. Long-range planning could entail putting thoughts to paper. Mind-expanding influences could encourage you to learn new things and reach out for all that is novel and different. Finding a mentor or life coach could be a positive game changer.

Pisces 19 February to 20 March

You start the week with a lighthearted and playful spirit, but there could be a tense aspect surrounding certain issues. There are plenty of options for discussion, doing business, and making new and lucrative connections, but someone you meet or work with might want to take control, putting you in a spin, especially early in the week when sensitive feelings could cause upset. Later, the pleasure principle may guide you to have fun with friends, or you might prefer do your own thing.

aries 21 March to 19 april

Trust your intuition because friends and colleagues will appreciate your sensitivity. a brand new idea or direction that takes hold could lift your spirits. Don’t be afraid to try something different. You might find that good luck or the kindness of others gives you all the courage you need. There is a possibility of an upset earlier in the week, but you may be able to turn the situation around with smart thinking. There could be a renewed motivation to get a relationship into a better place.

Taurus 20 april to 20 May

Social influences could pique your interest in getting out and doing something different. It’s a great week for a gathering of friends and some fun times out and about. Try not to worry about it if an authority figure seems to spoil a financial plan or spending spree. a friend’s advice may be worth more than its weight in gold when a friendly tip puts everything in perspective. You might have a few responsibilities or secrets to attend to - the sooner the better!

Gemini 21 May to 21 June

Someone new in your life could change the game plan. If you aren’t involved with a partner, invite someone over for a meal or drink, or call up a friend. However, you might not be pleased if a partner or someone else goes on a power trip and demands you go along with their plans. You may need to be very diplomatic in order to avoid a scene. You’re moving through a phase in which it would help to slow down and take stock of your priorities.

Cancer 22 June to 22 July

Where there’s a will there’s a way, and this week certainly has a social aspect to it. You seem to be brimming with positive energy and happy thoughts. relationships may grow stronger if you communicate with total honesty. Be careful you don’t ruffle someone’s feathers at work if a relationship needs careful handling. The desire to kick back and relax could conflict with an urge to move outside your comfort zone and explore new options. Maybe you can find a compromise.

Leo 23 July to 22 august

Share a new idea with colleagues or fellow professionals and someone might think you’re brilliant. Your thoughtful nature might want to help everyone out this week, and you have loving and compassionate feelings for others. By all means be kind, but don’t make a sacrifice if it isn’t really going to help or you could end up feeling resentful. Good friendships and stimulating company leave you with happy feelings. a health problem may be on your mind, so take it easy.

Virgo 23 august to 22 September

This week you’re in charge and you know what you want to do, so tackle any challenges with confidence. The world seems to be your oyster, so gather your resources, be shrewd in your dealings, and pursue your goals with determination. You seem to have plenty of ideas in the works now. If any involve savvy financial planning, you could make decisions that help you get ahead. a desire to get away from it all might encourage you to plan a trip.

libra 23 September to 23 October

Luck may be with you this week, but don’t expect it to announce itself in a big way. Be positive and seek out opportunities in chance encounters, helpful tips, and lucky coincidences. a stroke of genius or some inspired advice may help your financial situation improve dramatically. Before accepting a favor, find out if there are strings attached. Make time to meditate and develop peace of mind. Doing so could positively affect your health and energy levels for the better.

Scorpio 24 October to 21 November

You might be ready to cut loose and give full rein to your need for creative and social expression. Friends and your sweetheart may help you to view yourself in a positive, upbeat way. The charm of your personality steps up, making it easier to enlist cooperation and support. You might even want to help this trend along by changing your image or enhancing your look. Financial matters may move forward, but check your motives. You could unconsciously fear success.

Sagittarius 22 November to 21 December

Give and take and sharing ideas, resources, and tips may mutually benefit you, your friends, or partner. Ideas could be fruitful and the kind that open doors for you. an invitation may boost your outlook and hopes for the future. On the whole, relationships seem to be upbeat and positive. Things work out generally better if you don’t try to control and instead go with the flow. Only forge ahead with a plan if you get feedback or sensible advice from someone experienced.

Want to make some good old fashioned ice cream? don’t feel like spending a fortune or surrendering some kitchen space to an ice cream maker? dO yOu SCReaM FOR ICe CReaM?!?! If so, read on...

It is true; you can bring this playground favourite right to your own home, crafted from your own hands, using only a handful of common ingredients.For all intents and purposes, I’ll show you how to make your own ice cream: the Zip bag method.and GueSS WhaT!!! For all you allergy folks out there, great-tasting ice cream is now possible! you can substitute your ingredients and make your

own delicious flavour!

ice Cream in 5 minutes

The Basic Vanilla Ice-creamIngredients:

Fresh Milk - 240 ml or ½ double cream and ½ milkSugar - 2 tbsp. Vanilla – essence 2 tsps.Ice Rock Salt 1 small zip food bag1 large zip food bag

Method:Pour milk, sugar, and vanilla into the

small Zip bag; shake .Pour ice and rock salt into the large Zip bag and shake. Put the smaller bag with the mixture into the larger bag with ice.

Slosh the bag back and forth across your countertop until the ice cream becomes nice and thick. (Should take between 3 and 5 minutes) This is Zip bag ice cream; grab a spoon and just eat it right out of the bag!

Pugh’s tips and Tricks:Now to experiment. One great idea I

decided to play with was the ready-made

milkshakes that you can buy in most supermarkets. Using the same method as above, I used a supermarket bought strawberry milkshake from Iceland and added some fresh chopped strawberry’s to it. It was amazing.

Add a spoonful of cocoa powder and a dash of baileys for the ultimate chocolate and baileys ice-cream.

I have always been a lover of growing fresh herbs and vegetables, but when I stumbled across this I just simply had to share it with you. It is a nice simple and fun method, and definitely worth a try!

TVR’S new British owners will ‘car-ry forward the dna’ of the brand, the marque’s incoming director has promised.

Les Edgar, who fronts TVR Automotive Ltd, the UK company this week revealed to have purchased the TVR name from former Rus-sian owner Nikolai Smolenski, says his company has ‘a lot of plans’ for the sports car brand, and ‘won’t make the mistakes that have been made in the past’.

“We’ve done a lot of background work,” said Edgar, a Surrey-based entrepreneur best known for developing video games and for reintroducing Aston Martin to GT racing. “This wasn’t a snap decision. We have the money to do it, and we have a unique collection of peo-

ple with business acumen and passion.”Former owner Smolenski - who bought TVR

for a reported £15m in 2004 but failed to build any new cars - had threatened to slap the TVR name on wind turbines, but Edgar assured Top Gear that the new owners would keep the company firmly in the automotive sphere. “We bought TVR for what it is, and we don’t want to dilute that. We want to build on the DNA, and that’s unlikely to apply to anything but cars.”

Edgar admitted that, due to non-disclosure agreements, he wasn’t at liberty to reveal any more information, but was keen to stress that he and his associates will respect TVR’s herit-age... and Britishness.

“You can’t let these great brands disappear or go abroad,” he said. “The starting point was ‘let’s get it back’. There’s a huge amount of passion with the TVR brand. You’d be hard-pushed to find a British car brand that gener-ates so much passion.”

Edgar couldn’t confirm when we might see a new TVR or what form it might take, and was keen to quash the frenzied speculation that’s emerged online since the homepage on the TVR website this week bore the slogan ‘Roar-ing Back’. “We’ll be making more announce-ments in due course,” he told TG. “But you’ll have to wait and see.”

TVr’s Back!

2014 mercedes-Benz e550 Coupe

FOR a considerable number of years, Mer-cedes-Benz fashioned a coupe variant off a short-wheelbase ver-sion of its e-class se-dan. That was until the late 1990s, when the e-class coupe model name disap-peared in favor of the ClK, which was based on the C-class sedan.

In 2009, the E-class coupe moniker was launched again, but technologically, it was a direct successor of the CLK, with its track and wheelbase remaining identical to those of the C-class. For 2014, the E-class coupe and the open-top cabriolet have received face lifts; the sportiest vari-ation, which we drove exten-sively, is the E550 coupe with its 402-hp twin-turbo V-8.

The changes for 2014 are more involved than they look. The overall shape remains untouched, but the head-lamps and the taillamps—as well as the front and rear fascias—have been updated.

The headlights feature four LED “torches.” They retain the four-eye look despite a new outer-headlamp contour. The front air intakes are ag-gressively styled, particularly on the E550, which comes with obligatory AMG styling. On the pre-face-lift model, there was a practical reason for this: The large air intakes of the AMG package were required to meet the airflow requirements of the twin-turbocharged engine. On the new model, the regular air in-takes would have been large enough, but it was decided that the angry AMG look fits

the E550’s image. Twin-Turbo Growl

This look certainly fits the rather menacing growl of the M278 engine, which pumps 443 lb-ft of torque from a low 1600 rpm and 402 horsepower at 5000 rpm. The 4.7-liter twin-turbo V-8 is mated to Mercedes’ own seven-speed automatic, which deftly handles gearch-anging duties in everyday driving but fails to excite when ultra-quick action is demanded. The ZF-sourced eight-speed automatic, as found in several Audi, BMW, and Jaguar models, shifts more rapidly, and so does Audi’s seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. Neverthe-less, the Benz’s straight-line performance is impressive, with a 0-to-60 time of fewer than five seconds. Passing maneuvers are executed ef-fortlessly, the only challenge being to keep the car below triple-digit speeds. The top speed on U.S.-bound models is governed at an inexplicably low 130 mph.

he is more used to splashing his hall-mark animal prints over long and lan-guid evening gowns. But in a departure from his day job, Ital-ian designer Roberto Cavalli has lent his aesthetic prowess to the motoring indus-try in the creation of a one-off MInI Pace-man - and naturel-lement, it’s all for charity.

It was the 13th time a unique MINI has been cre-ated in honour of the Life Ball, an event that raises money to help combat AIDS and HIV.

But while the other cars have raised a combined

500,000 euros for char-ity, this Cavalli number has singlehandedly given the coffers an incredible boost after it sold for 150,000 euros at the Life Ball last weekend.

The car was finished with a shimmering, iridescent paintwork that turned from

black to brown depending on the angle from which it was viewed.

Inside, the upholstery is quilted black leather, the steering wheel is wrapped in more leather, and trim is gold - even the vents for the air conditioning are ren-dered in glossy metallics.

Granada Studios has dominated the Manchester skyline for the past 56 years – a beacon to the very best in British television. The first television complex to be built in the uK and home to some of the greatest television programmes of all time.

Now, after over half a century, the building will close as ITV moves to its new home in Salford’s Media City. It’s time to switch off the lights with Granada’s biggest fan, Peter Kay, as he goes behind-the-scenes at the iconic Granada building on Manchester’s Quay Street.

Using archive clips of some of the well-loved and

acclaimed programmes filmed and produced there - from Coronation Street, Prime Suspect, Jewel In the Crown and Stars In Their Eyes, to landmark musical performances including the television debuts of The Sex Pistols, Happy Mondays, Take That and the Beatles – audiences will be taken on a nostalgic and heart warming journey spanning seven decades of programme-making.

Granada has given debuts to some of the comedy giants of the past 56 years, from Woody Allen making his only ever UK stand-up appearance in 1965, through to the broad appeal sitcoms and sketches of the 70s, to the 80s alternative scene and biggest names of the 90s.

davina McCall and nicky Campbell return to ITV to present a brand new series of long lost Family, the award-winning show which traces and reunites families who have been apart for most of their lives.

Series three features eight heart-warming new episodes, helping mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, sisters and brothers find the loved ones they have been desperately trying to find.

Taking on the most challenging and unpredictable searches yet Long Lost Family journeys across the world to bring families together – from Spain and

Northern Ireland to New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and America. With the help and support of Davina and Nicky, each relative is guided and supported through the emotional and heart-rending process of tracing their long-lost loved ones.

Davina said: “I love watching this series as it goes out on telly because I finally get a chance to have a really good weep – whilst filming I have to really hold it in. Our contributors share their amazing stories and heart-breaking losses and it’s such an honour to be part of the programme that helps them find resolution.”

In this new six-part series, interior designer to the stars Martyn law-rence Bullard jets unsuspecting Brits to la for a surprise makeover, while secretly giving their home the holly-wood treatment too.

Kicking off the series, Martyn visits Peter-borough to surprise hard-working mother of quads Emily Bates. What Emily doesn’t know is that while she is away, Martyn and his team will secretly transform her house into the sort of hip Hollywood palace that he usually

designs for celebs.Over in Tinseltown, Emily is amazed to dis-

cover that her chaperone is celebrity style icon Sharon Osbourne. As Sharon takes Emily under her wing, they embark on outrageous shopping sprees and experience the latest and craziest beauty treatments La La land has to offer.

With just 72 hours to transform Emily’s home, can Martyn really pull off Hollywood glamour in an ordinary home in Peterbor-ough?

Sources have named the England cricket-er as Yorkshire’s Joe Root and Cricket Aus-tralia confirmed Warner has been dropped from his country’s Champions Trophy clash with New Zealand.

According to reports English and Austral-ian players were in a bar in Birmingham and at the end of the evening Warner allegedly “threw a punch” at Root.

In a statement, the ECB said: “David Warner initiated an unprovoked physical at-tack on a member of the England team in a Birmingham bar following England’s 48 run victory over Australia. Warner has admit-ted behaving inappropriately and has since apologised to the player involved who has accepted the apology. Following a full in-vestigation the England team management has concluded that the England player was in no way responsible for nor retaliated to the attack.”

A spokesman for Cricket Australia said

Warner has been reported for “unbecoming behaviour after he was allegedly involved in a physical altercation with an England play-er in the early hours of Sunday morning following the ICC Champions Trophy match between the teams in Birmingham”.

The player was being investigated, and CA said it would make no further comment until the hearing. No date has been set.

The incident continues a difficult time for 26-year-old Warner, last month he was fined AU$5,750 (£3,700) following an out-burst on Twitter.

Australia are already without regular cap-tain Michael Clarke, who has not recovered from a back injury. After the loss to Eng-land, they need to win to retain a chance of reaching the semi-finals.

Warner had been expected to play in the game against New Zealand despite a dismal run of form which continued with an in-nings of nine off 21 balls against England.

One of Britain’s most success-ful racehorse trainers, Sir

henry Cecil, has died at the age of 70.

He was responsible for 25 British Classic winners and crowned champion trainer 10 times, Sir Henry was also the leading handler at Royal Ascot with a record 75 suc-cesses.

“It is with great sadness that Warren Place Stables confirms the passing of Sir Henry Cecil earlier this morn-ing,” said a statement on his website. “Following com-munication with the British

Horseracing Authority (BHA), a temporary licence will be al-located to Lady Cecil.”

Sir Henry, who was knight-ed by the Queen in 2011, had been fighting stomach can-cer for several years.

Towards the end of a ca-reer that spanned four dec-ades, he trained Frankel, the highest-rated racehorse ever. Frankel retired last year after winning all 14 of his races.

BHA chief executive Paul Bittar paid tribute to Sir Hen-ry, describing him as “one of the great characters and one of the great trainers in Brit-ish racing. It’s tragically sad,” Mr Bittar said after being told

of Cecil’s death. “Having said that, what a wonderful way to be able to finish his career, with the greatest race horse (Frankel) that any of us will ever get to see.”

Sir Henry descended from an aristocratic background, was born into racing and of-ten said he would have been able to do nothing else. At 21, he started off as assistant to his stepfather, the Royal trainer Cecil Boyd-Rochfort, and took charge on his retire-ment in 1968. A year later he was celebrating his first major success as Wolver Hol-low gained the Eclipse at San-down.

As the years went on, things got better, recording a first Classic in 1973 when Cloonagh took the Irish 1,000 Guineas, and three years later

he was champion trainer for the first time. In 1987 he trained a record 180 winners.

Sir Henry married his one-time secretary Jane McK-

eown in 2008. He is survived by two children from his first marriage, Katie and Noel, and son Jake from his second marriage.

The england and Wales Cricket Board has issued a statement stating that australia batsman david Warner launched an “unprovoked physical at-tack” on an england player in a bar after their match at edgbaston.

BaRCelOna footballer lionel Messi has been accused of failing to pay 4m euros (£3.4m) in income tax, accord-ing to prosecutors in Spain. The argentin-ian international and his father, Jorge ho-racio Messi, allegedly submitted fraudulent tax returns for the years 2007, 2008 and 2009.

In a statement posted on his Facebook page, the strik-er has denied any wrongdo-ing: “We have just (heard) through the media about the claim filed by the Spanish tax authorities,” the statement said. “We are surprised about (this) because we have never committed any infringement. We have always fulfilled all our tax obligations (and are) following the advice of our tax consultants who will take care of clarifying this situa-tion.”

A complaint, signed by state prosecutor Raquel Am-ado and submitted for trial at a court in Gava, must be accepted by a judge prior to any charges being brought.

Messi, who was named the best player in the world for four consecutive seasons, is one of the highest-paid sportsmen. He commands an annual salary of approximate-ly £13m and earns another

13.4m in endorsements from sponsors including Adidas, PepsiCo and P&G..

He is currently on a short break after playing the final 30 minutes of Argentina’s World Cup qualifier against Ecuador in Quito.

Alejandro Sabella, the coach of the national side, previously said he expects to include the 25-year-old in the line-up for a friendly against Guatemala on Friday.

Barcelona declined to com-ment on the claims.

eMMa Wilkinson has been killed in a car crash while taking part in the Peking (Beijing) to Paris Motor Challenge.

The 46-year-old mother of two was killed in a head-on smash be-tween her 1970 Chevrolet C10 and a Volkswagen Polo, according to lo-cal police.

Ms Wilkinson was taking part in the car rally, described as the long-est and toughest challenge anyone can drive in a vintage or classic car. She was with her partner and fellow participant Peter Davies when the accident happened on the Tyumen to Omsk federal highway in Siberia.

Mr Davies was not injured but a 31-year-old man and a baby who were passengers in the other ve-hicle were killed, while a woman is fighting for her life in intensive care, Tyumen region police said.

Officers believe the driver of the Polo may have fallen asleep at the wheel moments before careering

across the road into the path of the oncoming Chevrolet as there were no skid marks and traffic was very light.

Rally director Philip Young said: “Emma was a fun loving, lively and

popular member of the rally. In the three weeks we’ve been together both she and Peter proved them-selves to be capable, competent and resourceful. Their 1970 Chev-rolet C10 pickup was a remarkable

sight in the Mongolian wilderness and today our thoughts and sym-pathies are with Emma’s family and friends including her two brothers Robert and Mark, who are also par-ticipating.”

The 33-day race, which began on May 28 sees competitors travel through some of the most remote and inaccessible areas on the planet as they drive through the Gobi De-sert, Mongolia and Russia.

Red Bull Racing have announced that Sebastian Vettel has extended his contract with the team for an additional year, through to the end of 2015. Vettel, the reigning world champion, has won the drivers’ title for the past three seasons with the Milton-Keynes based team.

Previously a member of the Red Bull Junior squad, Vettel first drove for Red Bull in 2009. During his Formula One career, the 25-year-old German has achieved 29 wins, 51 podiums and 39 pole positions.

Vettel’s team mate beyond the end of 2013 remains uncon-firmed, with Mark Webber’s current contract expiring at the end of this year.

CHeLSea COnfirm SCHurrLe SigningChelSea have agreed a deal to sign Bayer leverkusen’s Germany international for-ward andre Schurrle.

There were fears Jose Mourinho’s return to Stamford Bridge could af-fect a transfer which has been lined up for weeks.

But a statement on the Chelsea website confirmed the deal will go through subject to Schurrle pass-ing a medical and agreeing personal terms.

The statement read: “Chelsea Football Club and Bayer 04 Lev-erkusen have reached an agreement for the transfer of André Schürrle, subject to the completion of legal documentation and related mat-ters, including personal terms and passing a medical.”

The 22-year-old will officially go down as the first signing of Mour-inho’s second run as manager.

A statement from Leverkusen announced Schurrle’s departure in conjunction with the signing of Hamburg’s South Korea striker Heung-Min Son.

Director Wolfgang Holzhauser said: “We have made it clear from the beginning that Andre Schurrle’s departure would only be possible only if we found an adequate alter-native.

“We have now found this alterna-tive by signing Heung-Min Son and thus, in our view, there is nothing to stand in the way of Andre Schurrle’s move.”

Son’s arrival on a five-year con-tract comes after Mourinho blocked the possible departure of Chelsea’s Belgium international Kevin De Bruyne in part-exchange for Schur-rle.

WaVeS of fans adula-tion, official recep-tions, and maybe even the odd half a shandy, no one would begrudge Cd Tenerife their amazing week after winning promo-tion but it didn’t make for a memorable per-formance at alaves. The two legged de-cider for the overall champions of Segun-da B had little mean-ing and it showed, don’t expect a clas-sic this Sunday in the second leg in Santa Cruz at noon, but do expect a massive sta-

dium filled party to thank the club for a fantastic season.

Changes were widespread in the Tenerife starting line up, Roberto pulled on the gloves and the back up had a busy and confident game. Alaves are another top flight team on the way back and they dominated the first half. The Tenerife defence looked strong in the full back posi-tions with Jesus Alvaro on the right and Sergio Rodriguez on the left making some timely tackles. Viquera and Juanma were a handful up front for the home side and Sendoa had his moments, the best being a short corner that he collected after swapping passes with a team mate, his

eventual shot went wide as his view of the target was obscured by another Alaves body.

Alberto back in midfield impressed with his defen-sive play, he hooked the ball over his own bar to save a certain goal on the half hour. Juanma opened up the play for Viquera with a dainty flick back, another shot that passed nervously close to the post. Sergio Rodriguez closed the half with a brilliantly timed intervention and calm clearance but we were still waiting for a meaningful at-tempt on goal from Tenerife.

Juanma was left cursing Roberto for a well taken catch and Alberto for another of his well judged tackles before

Sergio gave the home keeper his first test with a searing shot from the right. It was no real surprise when Viquera made it 1-0 after 59 minutes, picking up a cross from the left and burying it in the top of the net. Loro found him-self in acres of space for Ten-erife but missed the target and just into injury time Che-chu threaded his way behind the defence and was brought crashing to the ground, it was a clear penalty but the ref ig-nored it. Charging up the oth-er end Alaves cut out the de-fence by lofting the ball over them for Viquera to score his second. Chechu was still fum-ing and let rip at the ref, all it got him was a sending off for two bookings. A farcical end-ing that makes it tough to win the trophy this week, but it’s all about the party.

Clash Of The party people

the SportS SCeneBy Colin Kirby

a Time for planningThe promotion hango-vers had hardly faded before work started on building a com-petitive squad for next season. Continu-ity is the key, sport-ing director Quique Medina has played a big part in bringing through the young home grown players, he has signed a new two year deal and one of the best finds, alberto Jimenez has done the same. Fans have only seen tan-talizing glimpses of striker ayoze Perez who turns 20 in July but Real Madrid are already checking him out, Tenerife have him under contract until 2016.

There may be a couple of home comings next sea-son. Xavi Annunziata came through the junior ranks at CD Tenerife before joining Osasuna in 2008 but after being loaned to Huesca last season his parent club have released the midfielder. An-

other wandering soul is Edgar Mendez Ortega from Arafo who has been with Almeria B and is keen on coming back to the rock.

After the curtain falls on Sunday the players can have

some richly deserved rest – but not too much, pre sea-son training begins on 15 July and the first game back in the Segunda Division will be on 18 August. It barely gives me time to wash my scarf.

an injured goalie, a disallowed goal, and an injury time winner all figured in a dramatic climax as atletico Granadilla

inched a little further along the promotion path to Segunda B with a 1-0 home win.

The stage was set perfectly on

the morning of the big Romeria fiesta, many of the 1,000 plus crowd were decked out in traditional Canarian costume and had one eye on the afternoons celebrations in town. Universidad Oviedo made the early running with Cueva getting first pop at goal but home keeper Marino wasn’t unduly troubled. Amray started to make runs down the right and Noah, recently returned for his second spell with the club, bustled through the middle to give Jose some anxious moments in the visitors goal. It was pretty even but the butter fingers of Jose gave Granadilla plenty of encouragement, just before the break the goalie fumbled the ball and owed his defence a few pints for scrambling the danger away.

Attacking the biggest bank of their home fans in the second half helped to drive Granadilla on and former CD Tenerife striker Ruben Rosquete added more options to the attack after coming off the bench. Jony should have got a vital away goal but Marino made a convincing save to keep things level. With 15 minutes left Marino went down badly after a knock from an Oviedo player, off he limped with a hamstring injury and on came Alexis Oval to take over between the posts.

The red and white wave swept forward but some desperate defending kept them at bay, even when Noah put the ball in the net he was ruled offside, it would need something special to break the deadlock. Injury time arrived and Granadilla won another corner,

captain Ivan Martin swept the in swinging ball across and as bodies dived all over the place it eluded them all to settle in the goal. A perfect and deserved finish that leaves the door wide open for this Sunday’s away leg, an aggregate victory would leave just one more home and away hurdle before the big step up.

Come On in The west Coast water’s Lovely

MayBe it’s the rug-ged coastline or the inspiring sight of the cliffs of los Gigantes but for 18 years the Travesia a nado swim-ming race has been a popular fixture on the summer sporting calendar.

The race starts at Playa de la Arena beach at 5.30 pm on Saturday 6 July and finishes around the headland on the pocket sized playa of Puerto de Santiago some 950 me-tres later. It’s split into cat-egories that cater for eve-ryone, at 5.30 the disability swimmers head out, then at 6 pm it’s the turn of the la-dies, and at 6.30 pm the men take the plunge. Then after all the contestants have fin-ished the course there are children’s races for 10 to 18 year olds, they will need writ-ten permission from their parents.

Boats shadow the swim-mers as they splash through the water and safety is al-ways top of the list. The top three in each category get

to mount the podium for their medals and that spe-cial feeling of achievement. If you want to take part you

have until 1st July to reg-ister at www.deportesan-tiagodelteide.com or you can call 922 868 108.

it’s all uphill from guimarMan and machine against the forces of gravity, it’s enough to rev up anyone’s motor. This Saturday sees the 40th annual Subida al Mirador de Guimar uphill rally on the east coast of Ten-erife with the TF-28 providing the most testing of circuits.

The action starts at 10am near the coast and the drama unfolds in short bursts up the 3.7km incline. This year there is a bumper crop of 51 cars including favourites like Felix Ramon Garcia Duran in the Alfa 156 and Chicho Acosta in

the Porsche 911. Late in the afternoon trophies will be awarded in the Plaza de San Antonio but during the race

thousands will line the route grabbing any vantage point they can for their free days racing.

a clock to mark the one-year countdown to next year’s World Cup has been unveiled on Rio’s Co-pacabana beach in the presence

of soccer legend Pele. The official timekeeper for the 2014 finals, displayed

the time remaining until Brazil gets to stage its first World Cup since 1950 when it lost in the final to Uru-guay.

“We are going to stage an excellent World Cup, we are confident,” said Pele, the country’s ambassador for the World Cup.

Joining Pele, a three-time winner of the World Cup, at the ceremony were Brazilian Sports Minister Also Rebelo, Jerome Valcke, the secretary general of world football’s governing body Fifa, Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes and Hublot President Jean-Claude Biver.

Jose Maria Marin, chairman of the Cup’s Local Organ-ising Committee, hailed the unveiling as “another mem-orable milestone in our preparations for Brazil 2014.”

Current Fifa president Sepp Blatter could not attend but sent a message saying he was “extremely pleased”. Brazil “is not only a footballing powerhouse, but an eco-nomic one too. I’m sure that one of the legacies of this Fifa World Cup will be that of helping Brazil become a leader in terms of social and cultural values,” he added.

“I hope not to have the same experience I had when I was nine in 1950 and saw my father crying in front of the radio,” Pele said, referring to Brazil’s humiliating defeat to Uruguay in the Cup final that year.
