ORGANISED pickpock-ets from Romania whohave been targetingTenerife have beenarrested in one southmunicipality thanks toinformation fromCanarian Weekly.

The revelation comes as SanMiguel Policia Local, carriedout a number of arrests inthe Golf del Sur area, in acampaign to stamp out thistype of crime within themunicipality of San Miguel.

Canarian Weekly over thepast months has been work-ing with local San MiguelMayor Chinea Victor Nieblaand Policia Local to help erad-icate this unwanted behav-iour. The Mayor of SanMiguel was keen to pointout that this activity is nottaking place just in hismunicipality. Far from it,Tenerife is not the onlyplace being victimised, asthe whole of Europe hasseen an increase in this typeof crime since Romaniajoined the EU back inJanuary 2007.

The Mayor said, “San Miguelde Abona extends from themountains to the coastlinewith over 17,000 inhabitantsspread over many areas.Tourism has managed toprosper in recent years in our municipality, with twoholiday villages (Golf del Surand Amarilla Golf) that offersports tourism. We don’twant our hard work to be invain, so that is why we havetaken positive action”

The undercover operationbegan back in Februarywhen Canarian Weeklyreceived a tip-off from alocal resident. To protect hisidentity we will refer to thisperson as Fred; he had docu-

mented for the period of amonth unscrupulous activityhe had seen taking place onbus routes 470 and 483between Golf del Sur and LosCristianos; which are popularwith both residents andtourists alike, hence, throngsof people mid-morning manywith full wallets and purses.

Indeed on one particular dayCanarian Weekly witnessedthe activity of the Romanianpick-pockets first hand, andthey are smooth operators.When you’re looking at theview, people watching or ani-matedly talking about theirholiday exploits they’rewatching you.

All of the informationgleaned was handed over tothe Local San Miguel Policeat the end of Februarywhich resulted in the arrestof four people on Tuesday29th March in the Golf delSur area. The group fromBucharest consisted of twowomen and two men, of

which one pair a woman,(OT) aged 50 years and ayoung man, (RS) aged 26years were the ones seenoperating previously.Canarian Weekly has beenunable to report on it untilnow with the perpetratorsbeing captured. It transpiresthat the group had past con-

victions in mainland Spainincluding Barcelona andMalaga.

Romania was a ‘Cold War’country. The largest of theBalkans, it has photo-oppor-tunity mountain scenery andits coastline is the Black Sea.But, because of it its econom-ic climate and history, it isestimated that over 2 millionof the population have emi-grated to countries such asSpain, Italy, Germany, Austria,UK, Canada and the USA. It’salleged that many make aspecific journey to WesternEurope, embarking on a life ofcrime.

Ironically, Romania’s tourismis the second-largest compo-nent of its service sector, oneof the most dynamic andfastest-developing sectors ofthe Balkan economy, charac-terised by a huge potentialfor development.

Recently, Romania hasemerged as a popular touristdestination for manyEuropeans (more than 60% ofthe foreign visitors werefrom EU countries), thusattempting to compete withother European counterpartssuch as Bulgaria, Greece, Italyand Spain as an all year roundresort with summer beachholidays and winter skiing.

The irony is that Romanianscarrying out this deceptiveactivity in Tenerife arepotentially thwarting ourtourist development; if a vis-itor loses his wallet while onholiday, he doesn’t go homewith good holiday memories.

As we always state, we donot intend to cause alarm byreporting this story butinstead raise awareness thatthis type of activity takesplace, here and in most largecities and at highly-populat-ed events throughoutEurope.

THE TENERIFECabildo, in coopera-tion with Titsa andMetropolitano deTenerife, the twoIsland transport com-panies, have put intoplace a number of ini-tiatives designed topromote good civic,responsible behaviourwhen using publictransport.

Starting in April, and withthe collaboration of the RedCross and la Caixa bank, theprojects will attempt toinform travellers and makethem aware that they mustshow the appropriaterespect to fellow passen-gers, particularly those withdisabilities that need extratime and assistance.

Drivers will also be target-ed by the campaign andencouraged against doubleparking or parking, for how-ever short a period, at busstops.

One of the ways the cam-paign will work on the Titsabuses will be the use of sur-veys of users to find outhow much they know aboutthe use of the ramp for thedisabled and to see if theyare willing to lend a hand tothose less able then them-selves.

During the surveys, whichwill be made not only at thebus stops but also on thevehicles, those being ques-tioned will also be providedwith information on how to

help. At bus stations aroundthe Island the plan is to provide a five minute video filled with informa-tion on how to handle situations where the dis-abled are using the bus andmay need assistance andpatience.

As for users of the capi-tal’s tram network, they toowill be targeted by thisawareness campaign, calledMetrocívico and once againthe initiative will be aimedat providing the informa-tion travellers need to helpthem become more con-scious of the needs of theirfellow passengers withvarying degrees of mobilitylimitations.

Not only with regard tothe disabled, the tram cam-paign will also generally out-line what the organisers callgood civic behaviour, socialresponsibility and conduct,encouraging politeness anddiscouraging any kind ofactivity that might damageor mar the appearance ofthe trams.

It is in this campaign thatyoung members of the RedCross will feature in humor-ous scenarios that informand instruct, carrying themessage that the tram isfor everyone, that seatsreserved for the disabledmust be kept free for theiruse; that eating and drink-ing on the tram is prohibit-ed in order to keep it neatand clean and that if listen-ing to music the volumeshould not be so loud as tobother fellow travellers.

THE TREND towards arise in the number ofvisitors to Tenerifehas continued foranother month withfigures showing an11.8 per cent increasein tourists to theIsland in February.

In total, some 413,304 visi-tors arrived here last month,a significant increase on thenumbers back in February2010, according to statisticsreleased by the TenerifeCabildo, with 13.8 per centmore people staying inhotels and 8,8 per cent

choosing other forms ofaccommodation.

According to Cabildo FirstVice President and Tourismchief José Manuel Bermúdez,“This spectacular increase inFebruary is largely due tothe crisis in some of thecountries in North Africa, aseries of conflicts that haveresulted during this winterseason in over 140,000 extraair passengers coming andgoing from our airports.”

Nevertheless, he said evenhad circumstances been nor-mal, the numbers wouldhave gone up regardless,although not to such a greatextent.

“We still have to think”, he

said, “that even thoughthere has been importantadvances in numbers thathave made us feel optimisticregarding the recuperationof our tourism situation, westill have to work hard toattract new visitors to theIsland.”

Looking at the statisticsfrom the point of origin per-spective, there was actuallya drop in Spanish travellersof over 14 percent.

To counter this, however,the number of British visi-tors rose by seven per cent,Germans by 12.1 per centand Nordic countries by animpressive 38.5 per cent.Big numbers were also expe-

rienced in terms of visitorsfrom France, up 64 per cent,Holland 24.6 per cent, Italy40.6 per cent, Russia 21.9per cent and Eastern Europeby 15.6 per cent.

As far as the principaltourism zones across theIsland are concerned,330,956 visitors chose thesouth, 15.1 per cent morethan in February 2010 and afurther 65,454 chose theNorth, an increase of 6.3 percent.

So for the first twomonths of 2011, Tenerifereceived a total of 798,864tourists, 6.3 per cent morethan for the same period in2010.

Tourism figurescontinue to rise

AS REGULAR readerswill be aware theCanarian Weekly dueto its wide readershipgets asked for itsviews and opinionsfrom time to time.

This week we have beenasked by Professor LirpaLoof, Universitario deTenerife if readers would finda left-handed version of theCanarian Weekly easier toread.

There are many productsand objects that have left-handed versions e.g. scissors,pens, purses, musical instru-ments, computer mouse andgolf clubs to name just ahandful.

While many of us are awarethat the President of the USBarack Obama is left-handed,did you know that both JFKand Marilyn Monroe wereleft-handed, yet anotherthing they shared in common,you might say!

Going back into history,Julius Caesar and Joan of Arcjoin the list along with somepretty big names, not only onthe battlefield but on thecrime scene, such as Chicagogangster John Dillinger. Orhow about serial killer theBoston Strangler, aka AlbertHenry Desalvo or gruesomeJack the Ripper? All left-hand-ed, as the wounds on theirvictims testified.

Turns out that hand prefer-ence is thought to begin inthe womb and stay with youfor life. So what is the sciencehere then? Because it seemsthat what comes naturally tous is important information

for scientists. Handednessmay be a clue into our behav-iour and the way our bodieswork.

Studies have suggested thata ‘lefty’ may be more talent-ed in areas thought to becontrolled by the right side ofthe brain – spatial awareness,maths and architecture.Right-handers may have bet-ter verbal abilities becausethe left hemisphere of thebrain is generally more effi-cient in processing verbalinformation.

However, this theory is high-ly controversial and it is by nomeans set in stone. Otherstudies have shown that left-handers perform just as wellin functions controlled by theleft side of the brain.

What is known is that about10–14% of the world’s popu-lation is left-handed and menare twice as likely to be left-handed as women.

Left-handers have longbeen persecuted but somescientists believe that theyhave at least one advantageover right-handers. They maybe more likely to come out ontop in hand-to-hand combator sports like cricket or base-ball.

It’s also possible that hand-edness is hereditary. TheBritish Royal family has a largenumber of left-handers,including Princes Charles andWilliam. Other famous leftiesinclude, Napoleon, Gandhi, BillClinton, Picasso, Leonardo DaVinci, Judy Garland, PaulMcCartney, Charlie Chaplin,Robert DeNiro, Maradona andJohn McEnroe.

Let us know what you think.Happy April Fools!

Trial version

FOR THE third yearrunning the SpanishNational MX Elite andMX2 Championshipswere held at the endof March in San Miguelde Abona at the localracing circuit and theday was a huge suc-cess.

Organised by Moto ClubAbona, the Tenerife Cabildo,the San Miguel de AbonaTown Council, the Canarianand Tenerife MotorcycleFederations and numerouslocal businesses, the day was also attended by members of the policeforces and fire and ambu-lance services to provide anyassistance should it be nec-essary.

Starting off with the MX2

event, the crowd was enthu-siastic and definitely treatedto a spectacle. After a hardfought couple of heats, JoséLuis Martínez proved thewinner followed by CristianOliva and Maxime Lesage.

Next up was the much-awaited heats in the MX Elitecategory and the fans werenot disappointed as each ofthe riders gave it their all.With an aggregate of thetwo heats to decide the ulti-

mate winner, there followedalmost two hours of ebb andflow, but in the end it wasclear that there could onlybe one, the favourite,Jonathan Barragán. In sec-ond and third place wereJosé Antonio Butrón andCarlos Campano respectively.

The day ended with thepresentation of the trophiesto the winners, who receivedgreat applause from thespectators.

A MAN on the run,highlighted in a recentpurge byCrimestoppers andsuspected of a viciousburglary, has beenarrested near LaCaleta, Adeje,Tenerife.

Jonathon Lejman, fromStoke-on-Trent, was discov-ered by police last week, livingon the beach over here. He isalleged to have slashed hisvictim’s face with a kitchenknife. A police spokesman toldCanarian Weekly, Lejman wascaptured on Playa La Caletawhich is also known as “Playade los hippies.”

Lejman, also known asLehman, was featured on alist of top 10 criminals,believed by police to be hidingout on the Costa del Sol, inmainland Spain.

It was part of Operation

Captura, the highly-success-ful multi-agency campaign,which involves Spanish andBritish police.

Crimestoppers and theSerious Organised CrimeAgency (SOCA) issued fulldescriptions and pictures ofthe 10 wanted individuals inFebruary. And they wereinvolved jointly in hunting himdown.

The 29-year-old will facecharges relating to an early-morning, aggravated burglaryin Tunstall, in the Potteries,where he used to live, inDecember 2008.

Lejman, with accomplice LeeStaples, is accused of kickingthe front door off its hinges,then making his way to theupstairs bedroom, where hethreatened a man and hisfemale partner.

He is said to have rippedopen the man’s face, leavinghim with a 6cm cut from hisear to his mouth. The victimalso suffered a broken cheek-

bone. Staples, a father oftwo, was jailed for five yearsin 2009 for his part in theattack, but the multi-tat-tooed Lejman, who has thewords “only the strong sur-vive”, on his body, went onthe run after failing to answerhis bail. He will be returned tothe UK under EuropeanArrest Warrants.

The operation, launched inOctober 2006, has led to thearrest of 43 suspects from atarget list of 60. OperationCaptura is the successfulmulti-agency campaign whichidentifies those individuals onthe run in Spain who arewanted by UK law enforce-ment agencies for seriouscrimes committed in Britain.

Dave Cording,Crimestoppers’ director ofoperations, said: “Not only isthe campaign successful intracking people down inSpain, but it displaces them aswell. But as we can see, nomatter where these wanted

individuals run to, lawenforcement will find them.

“I hope this further rein-forces this message to fugi-tives: “You can run, but youcan’t hide forever.”

Ken Gallagher, head ofEuropean operations forSOCA, said: “OperationCaptura is helping make theex-pat community in Spain anuncomfortable place for fugi-tives.

“Having the public’s atten-tion focused on these individ-uals goes a long way to mak-ing it harder for them tohide.”

The arrest is the fourthfrom the latest batch of top-10 most-wanted individualsrevealed in Alicante lastmonth under OperationCaptura.

The new appeals includesome of the UK’s most dan-gerous individuals, wanted forserious crimes including drugstrafficking, murder and childsex offences.

THE TENERIFE Cabildohas approached theCanarian Governmentwith a motion to urgethem to appeal to theState to make furtherand ‘urgent’ modifica-tions to the CoastalLaw of 1988.

In what was a unanimousdecision, all parties have unit-ed to devise the motion thathas been largely prompted bythe situation that is affectinga group of homes located inCandelaria in an area knownas Bajo La Cuesta. Thesehomes are threatened withdemolition under the 1988law and the Cabildo is fightingto force a change that will

save them and thus also beapplied to many other zonesalong the coasts of the entireArchipelago.

The motion calls for themodification in order, “To findan ideal balance between theprotection of the coasts forthe public’s use and the con-stitutional right to a home.”

The Cabildo’s Councillor forTerritorial Planning, Pino deLeón, is insisting that it is ofextreme importance thatthere is a revision of the term‘public domain’ and that itmust be understood, “thereexists a reasonable doubtthat there has been an errorin the making of this law inthe first place.”

He also wants to make acensus of the homes on thecoasts that might be affect-

ed in order to elaborate onthe necessity for reform tothe law and its more recentmodification in May 2009.

Canarian Weekly readers willbe familiar with the ongoingfight to save the Hotel ElMedano, which is locatedright on the town’s beachwith some of the buildingactually extending into thesea on stilts. This too wouldbe affected if the law couldbe reformed.

During the same meetingfurther discussions were heldlooking into the open facemining that has seen manyhills and sections of land dis-appear along the shores andcoastal inland areas as piconand hable, two products usedin agricultural and the build-ing trade and originating

from volcanic eruptions andlava flow, have been excavat-ed.

These areas and the contin-uation of such activitiesalong the coasts are beingconsidered in terms of theirpossible impact on theTourism industry and studiesare to be made into the sec-tor and how best to continue,particularly in the areasaround Güimar, where themajority of the excavationstake place. Local residentshave for years been callingfor a stop to the mining and areturn to agricultural usesfor much of the affectedbarrancos (gorges), sayingthat some of the companieshave been operating formore than 30 years withoutany form of permit.

Coastal law needs ‘urgent’ change

The ‘InternationalPartnerships Confer-ence’ conference heldhere in Tenerife fromMarch 29th throughto April 1st has beendeclared a great suc-cess by all participantsfrom across the conti-nent as well as manybusinesses from theIsland, the US andbeyond.

The Conference sought toaddress the continuing ques-tions that are relevant forinternational business execu-tives and policy makers whoare interested in currentstrategies to expandeconomies, and increasetrade and investment in agrowing world market.

Attendees to theInternational PartnershipsConference included seniorbusiness development repre-

sentatives, international con-tract managers, governmentofficials, and suppliers fromNorth America, Europe, andAfrica, who have a vestedinterest in investment growthon the African continent. .

As the conference opened,Stephen Hayes, President ofthe Corporate Council onAfrica, (CCA), said, “This is afirst-of-its-kind opportunitythat is truly not to be missed.

“By attending the confer-ence, you will gain access toinsider information about keygrowth sectors in Africa,opportunities, challengesand possible solutions indoing business with Africa,while meeting potential busi-ness partners from acrossthe globe through an arrayof networking opportuni-ties.”

Being just 80 kilometresoff the coast of Africa,Tenerife serves as a geo-graphically and strategically

important access point intoAfrican markets, particularlyin the information and com-munications technology(ICT), maritime, aeronautics,and renewable energy sec-tors.

The demand for networkconnectivity and technologyinfrastructure on the Africancontinent has created aunique opening for businesspartnerships to help bridgethe digital divide and closethe development gap.Similarly, limited access tocost-effective, clean, indige-nous and diversified energysources presents the chanceto develop long-term part-nerships in the renewableenergy sector.

SPAIN’S leading footballerswill be playing this weekendfollowing a Madrid court’sdecision to uphold a challengeby six clubs against a pro-posed strike.

The Primera Liga had calledfor a walk-out in protest overa 1997 broadcasting law thatensures one match a weekbeing shown for free on tele-vision.

The League of ProfessionalFootballers (LFP) argued thatremoving the obligation toshow that one match wouldallow them to negotiate morelucrative deals with pay-TVchannels. However six clubs -Sevilla, Villarreal, Athletic

Bilbao, Real Sociedad,Espanyol and Zaragoza -mounted a legal challengeagainst the proposal.

They argued that the strikewould be “disproportionate,inopportune, against theinterest of clubs, the compe-tition and supporters and,what’s more, against the law”.

Their “victory” means RealMadrid will now face SportingGijón tomorrow (Saturday),three days before theirChampions League quarter-final first-leg match againstTottenham Hotspur.

The two-day strike wouldhave extended the Spanishseason by three weeks.

Doing business withAfrica conference ishailed a big success

PRINCE CHARLES andhis wife Camilla, theDuchess of Cornwall,arrived in Madrid onWednesday for theirfirst official visit toSpain.

The three-day mission waspart of their 10-day tour ofPortugal, Spain andMorocco, aimed atstrengthening commercialand military links betweenBritain and the three coun-tries.

Particular attention isbeing paid to projects involv-ing the creation of a low-car-bon economy in the face ofclimate change, and openingup opportunities for youngentrepreneurs.

Charles and Camilla werereceived by the Prince andPrincess of Asturias at the

El Pardo Palace onWednesday morning, andthey were guests of honourat a gala dinner there thatevening.

The Prince of Wales, whohad made several visits toSpain but never with hiswife, tackled the first ofmany official engagementsthe same day when he metleading representatives of aseveral companies, bothBritish and Spanish.

It was part of a drive topromote more trade andinvestment between Spainand the UK, in order to cre-ate jobs and economicgrowth.

Together, the Prince andthe businessmen exploredthe advantages of Spanish

companies investing furtherin the United Kingdom, theopportunities for Britishcompanies in Spain, and forcollaboration betweenBritish and Spanish compa-nies in emerging markets.

The event, at theComunidad de Madrid, wasorganised by UK Trade &Investment, and it high-lighted the existing andpotential future collabora-tion between British andSpanish companies. It alsoreminded Spanish compa-nies of the attractions ofthe UK as a great place toinvest.

Giles Paxman, HMAmbassador to Spain, said:“The United Kingdom is oneof the most attractiveinvestment destinations inthe world. It is one of theeasiest and quickest coun-tries in which to set up a newcompany.

“It has a highly-skilled, cre-ative and flexible workforce,and it is a global financialhub, with international con-nections to all parts of theworld.”

He added: “Many Spanishcompanies are fast discover-ing the advantages ofinvesting in Britain, and moreare contacting UK Trade &Investment every day to findout how they can expandand grow in Britain. The UKgovernment is cuttingbureaucracy to make it eveneasier to set up and getstarted.”

Britain is the No1 destina-tion in Europe for inwardinvestment, second only tothe United States globally.More than half of interna-

tional companies withEuropean headquarterschoose London as their HQ.

Spain’s exports of goodsand services to the UKtotalled over £19bn (22bneuros) in 2009, and Spain’sdirect investment in the UKis greater than in the wholeof Latin America.

Spanish companies own,among other businesses,London Heathrow airport,Scottish Power and mobiletelephony provider O2 (andwith it the popular O2 Arena,formerly the MillenniumDome).

Some 400 Spanish compa-nies are investing in the UK.Names such as Santander,Zara and Massimo Dutti canbe found in every large UKtown or city, and Spanishalcoholic and fruit juicedrinks and foodstuffs arehighly popular in Britishsupermarkets.

In the other direction,Spain is the UK’s seventh-largest export destination,with trade in goods andservices amounting to over£14bn (16 bn euros) in 2009.That was considerably morethan all UK exports to Chinaand India combined.

Around 700 UK companiesare investing in Spain, includ-ing BP, Barclays, Diageo,KPMG, British Airways,easyJet and Vodafone.

The royal couple had lunchat the Palacio de la Zarzuelawith King Juan Carlos andQueen Sofia on their firstday in Spain before attend-ing a conference on sustain-able economies.

After meeting youngentrepreneurs today

IT is three weeks tocountdown forCanarian Weekly’s res-ident keep-fit expertDanni Byrne, who istackling the Virgin-sponsored LondonMarathon for the firsttime.

Danni has a special motiva-tion for running the 26.2-mile circuit around Londonbecause she is raising fundsfor Farleigh Hospice, inChelmsford, Essex, which ishelping her close friendAnna through a breast-can-cer nightmare.

But she also has a person-al dream to fulfil. “When I lived in London, I used to go down to watch the Marathon,” she recalls. “The atmosphere was incredible, and the buzz just ran through yourbody.

“Imagine running 26 miles,what a great, no, fantasticachievement. That was it. My mind was made

up that one day, I would run the LondonMarathon.

“So for the third year run-ning I applied and a friendsuggested that I also applyfor a Golden Bond ticket.These are places given outby charities when you agreeto run for them.

“Again, not easy to get, soI picked out the ones thatmeant the most to me. Sixapplications - one accepted,which was for FarleighHospice.”

Danni adds: “I’m trainingwell, despite a recent injury, and I would reallyappreciate any donationsfor the hospice. Please use the link below, or call me to collect your donation, because every lit-tle helps.

“I am hoping to completethe course in 4½ hours, butjust finishing will be anachievement.”

Some years ago, Dannimet Anna through herfriend, Christine. Theyworked together for Tescoand, says Danni: “You could

not help but warm to Anna.She was funny, supportive,giving, with always a smileon her pretty face.

“We would occasionallymeet up, do crisp-and-dip nights - yes, with wine by the bucket-load -and have a good old gossip. Then I moved toTenerife and Christinemoved a little further - toAustralia!

Anna, who had overcomebreast cancer, had been enjoying life and start-ed to get into fitness, loseweight and spend moretime with her partner,George, two sons and twostep-children.”

Then came the awful blowthat her breast cancer hadreturned and she neededaggressive treatment.

“Most would wallow in self-pity, but not Anna,” saysDanni. “She has certainlytaken the bull by the hornsand is fighting it. Her atti-tude is amazing. She isamazing and she will beat itagain.

“Farleigh has been there

to support her, help her and her family through the tough times and,for this reason I applied to Farleigh for a goldenticket - and got one, which is why I am raising funds for the hos-pice.

“So sponsor me, PLEASE! Iknow times are tough, butsomeone is worse off thanyou. I have been throughthis twice and I am lucky tohave my dad alive still -another fighter and anotherstory.

“All charities need money,and you all have yourfavourites. But one day,you, your family, or yourfriends, may need the use,help and/or support of ahospice.

“For those in and around London, I arrive on8th April for 10 days - sosay hello!

It looks like the motor-way speed limit willincrease to 140 km/hin April. Previously,Spanish drivers havebeen slowing downafter the governmentcut the motorwayspeed limit to reduceenergy use amid theoil production chaos inLibya.

The maximum limit wentfrom 75mph to 68mph, and

government workers spentthe weekend plastering thou-sands of old speed limit signswith stickers stating the newlimit.

The new increase will meana further bill for changing theroad signs amounting to1,042,011 euros.

Professor Lirpa LoofUniversitario de Tenerifepoints out that the Dutchgovernment recently raisedthe speed limit; the UK is con-sidering the same to “get theeconomy moving”, as well aswaiving a planned tax rise atthe petrol pump.

ACCORDING to an inter-view given recently by theCabildo’s Environmentchief, WladimiroRodriguez, it may wellbecome necessary for theIsland’s council to start tocharge visitors to the ElTeide National Park.

For more than two yearsnow the Cabildo has takenover the administration ofthe park and aside from themaintenance costs it is alsoconcerned about theamount of traffic goingthrough the crater area andthe number of visitors thatleave their vehicles and can

potentially cause damage tothe park’s vegetation. Hesuggests a public car park,which would cut down onthe number of vehiclestravelling through and atour bus to show visitorsaround the park.

This statement comes contrary to an announce-ment made last month bythe Cabildo’s PresidentRicardo Melchior, but never-theless, the Environmentdepartment head believes acharge for the use of manypublic spaces may becomeessential to guaranteeupkeep and general mainte-nance.

To pay or not to pay?

THERE’S no betterway to sum up thepassion that runsthroughout the Soydel Tete supportersshop than this state-ment on its website.

The end of the Spanishfootball season is on the hori-zon, but the CD Tenerife fanshop, Soy del Tete, is break-ing new ground with thedevelopment of its new onlineshop, Tenerife fan shop.

So whether you live inTenerife or Timbuktu, thismeans you can now orderCDT goods online.

The online shop came aboutafter Soy del Tete recognisedthe needs of CDT supporters;each week the shop ships outCDT goods worldwide.

It’s another goal for Soy delTete as it can now boast thatit is, exclusively, the firstonline CDT fan shop.

The new online shop is nowup and running and can befound at www.tenerifefan-shop.com

Don’t worry, the originalshop is still there in FanabePlaza, and the new onlineshop is an addition to the suc-cessful south Tenerife fanshop.

So whether you need strips,jackets, jerseys, scarves ormemorabilia, those fans whorun the shop have got the lot,both in store and on their website, too. You can order onlineand have your goods shippedto your door.

As an opening promotion, if

you register on either Spanishor English websites, www.soy-deltete.es or www.tenerife-fanshop.com you will beentered into a draw to win aTenerife game shirt; by regis-tering your details you willreceive regular Soy del Tetenewsletters.

Soy del Tete has provedvery popular since its openinglast November and with this inmind, it wants to give some-thing back to the communitywho have been so supportive.

Therefore, next season, Soydel Tete proposes to supportlocal youth football teams, inthe south, to help developlocal footballing talent at acommunity level.

And finally, CDT are not hav-ing the best of seasons,through a multitude of rea-

sons, and are currently veryclose to the bottom of theSegunda division.

The Tenerife Fan Shop hassaid on its Facebook page:“Those of us here in the Soydel Tete shop promise to walkfrom here to the cathedral inCandelaria if the team aresaved and stay in the seconddivision. Will you join us?”

The rationale behind this isthat the Virgin of Candelaria isthe patron of the CanaryIslands, and every August thepilgrimage offering to theVirgin of Candelaria takesplace. This tradition is repre-sentative of all municipalitiesof the Island and also, of allthe Canary archipelago pil-grims who come to makeofferings to their patron.

The “Walk to Candelaria” is

held on the night of 14th-15th August when the faith-ful make a pilgrimage on footfrom various parts of theIsland, even coming fromother islands to arrive atCandelaria.

The Tenerife fan shop willjoin in the walk some 70kmfrom the shop in Fanabe, andSoy de Tete will provide suste-nance for the night walk.

It will be a great event andgive a vast sense of belongingto those taking part, as well afeeling of achievement indi-vidually.

If you would like to talkabout any of the points raisedin this article, call into theshop in CC Fanabe Plaza (openbetween 10am-8pm) or find iton Facebook or Twitter.

Arona’s Mayor took theopportunity to once againstress the importance oftourism for the region, saying“This is now our principalindustry and it is the sectorthat will contribute in a defin-itive way towards our survivalduring the economic crisisthat we are suffering.

“In order to maintain our

position in terms of remainingcompetitive as a tourist desti-nation, we have been putting alot of very hard work in, as wellas a great deal of investment..

“We are in the process ofregenerating much of thepublic areas and are on thepath towards excellence andquality. In fact, in 2011 we canguarantee an investment offour million euros in renova-tion projects.”

On the other hand, theMayor pointed out, “The bestkind of promotion we can dofor ourselves is to treat ourvisitors with kindness – this isthe best publicitiy we canhave to promote Arona, and

in that sense these TouristInformation Offices are fun-damental in the accomplish-ment of that goal.”

An upwardly-mobileFrenchman at theheight of his fameALAIN ROBERT, theman known as theFrench Spiderman,climbed the world’stallest building - the828m (2,717ft) BurjKhalifa in Dubai - thisweek.

The 48-year-old has scaledmore than 80 buildingsaround the world, includingChicago’s Sears Tower andthe Taipei 101 in Taiwan.

It took Robert around sixhours to climb the 160-storeytower in Dubai on Tuesdayafter gusty winds delayed hisascent for some time.

A large screen was set up toenable people to watch his

every move, but he said thatmade him more nervous thanthe climb itself.

“I know everybody is goingto look at me, so it’s a bit of -a lot of - stress, in fact,” hesaid beforehand.

The amazing Frenchmanclimbed his first building atthe age of 12, after he hadbeen locked out of his apart-ment. He decided to scale theeight stories to get inthrough an open window, andwas bitten by the climbingbug immediately.

He has been arrested manytimes in various countriesbecause authorities rarelygive permission for his climbs.But that has never deterredhim from finding new targets.

A 40-YEAR-OLD Britonhas appeared in courtin Adelaide after fly-ing to Australia tomeet a 15-year-oldboy he befriended onFacebook.

The man, who cannot benamed for legal reasons, hasbeen charged with indecentassault and making communi-cation with a child for pruri-ent purposes.

The second charge has amaximum penalty of eightyears’ imprisonment.

He arrived in the countrylast week, having been invitedto stay with the boy and hisfamily. He had been communi-cating with him on the inter-net for two years.

Police, acting on a tip-off,were called to the house tointerview the family, andSouth Australia Police arenow liaising with officers inthe UK.

A LITTLE girl five offive was still on thedanger list in hospitallast night (Thursday)after being shot in thechest in a southLondon borough.

Thusha Kamaleswaran,believed to be the capital’syoungest gun crime victim,was with her family onTuesday evening, visiting rela-tives who own the shop inStockwell, Lambeth. The bul-let narrowly missed her heart.

She was found with a 35-year-old man, believed to liveabove the shop, who hadbeen shot in the head.

The incident happened atthe Stockwell Food & Wineshop, and police are huntingfor three youths, who chaseddown the two youngstersinto the shop on their bicy-cles, then rode off after-wards.

Only one of them wasbelieved to have been respon-sible for the gunfire, shootingindiscriminately from thedoor at about 9.15pm onTuesday, as the pair - said tobe rival gang members -attempted to hide inside.

Detective Chief InspectorTony Boughton appealed forthe two youths to come for-ward, saying: “They are animportant part in helping usunderstand exactly what washappening.

“They should be able todirect us to those responsible.The injured pair could havedied - and may still do.”

Kirubakaran Nantheesparan,a friend of the shop owners,saw the lead-up to and theaftermath of the shooting.

“They were screaming ateach other and throwing bot-tles,” he said. “Then I saw onepull out a gun and fire theshots. I saw the gun right nextto me. I heard the shots firedand we all backed down.

“At first we thought theyhad been hit by bottles, butthere was too much blood.We didn’t know then that thegirl had been shot. She waslying down in the shop inshock.

“The girl was lying on theground and the mum ran overto her. She screamed, ‘Call thepolice, call the police’! Therewas so much blood.”

Community sources said thearea has been plagued byyouth gang violence.

THE LIBYAN foreignminister who defect-ed to the UK will notbe offered any immu-nity from justice, theBritish Governmenthas warned.

Prime Minister DavidCameron said Musa Kusa’sdefection reflected badly onthe Colonel Muammar Gaddafigovernment’s plight.

“It shows a certain amountof distrust, decay and break-down at the heart of theGaddafi regime,” he said.

Foreign secretary Mr Haguerevealed he had been com-municating with Mr Kusa overrecent weeks.

“His resignation shows thatGaddafi’s regime...is frag-mented, under pressure andcrumbling from within,” hesaid.

“Gaddafi must be askinghimself: who will be the nextto abandon him?”

The comments came as

sources learned an official atthe Libyan embassy in Londonhad stepped down, saying hewanted to represent the peo-ple of the country.

Libyan governmentspokesman Moussa Ibrahim -speaking for the first timesince Mr Kusa’s defection -said he had been given per-mission to leave the countryon the grounds of ill health.

“He asked for sick leavebecause he had diabetes andhigh blood pressure,” he said.

“The government gave himpermission to leave the coun-try, because he needed tolook after himself and he wasin bad need of medical care.

“We understand now he hasresigned from his position.”

“He is an old man. He hasserious health problems - hisheart, his body, could nottake the pressure and wehope that he will recovermentally, psychologically andphysically and rest.

“We are expecting him tocome back. This is his home-

land. We are his family.” Theformer spy master is a plumprize for Britain in PR terms,sending the message thatsupport for Colonel Gaddafi iscrumbling at home.

Mr Ibrahim’s commentsmarked a shift from theLibyan government, who hadinitially claimed Mr Kusa wasmerely on a “diplomatic mis-sion”.

Colonel Gaddafi, meanwhile,has issued a warning to theWest about their actions.

He reportedly told the Jananews agency: “They havestarted something danger-ous, something they cannotcontrol. It will be out of theircontrol no matter whatmethods of destruction theyhave at their disposal.

“They want to impose theirstrength and have destroyedmutual interests between theLibyan people and their ownpeople... They want to drag usback to medieval times,” theagency quoted Gaddafi assaying.

“The solution is that theyresign immediately and theirpeople should find new lead-ers to replace them who willrespect relations betweenpeoples.”

Mr Kusa’s flight from Libyaon Wednesday came as asharp blow to leader ColonelMuammar Gaddafi. The politi-cian said he was “no longerwilling” to represent theLibyan regime.

The Foreign Office con-firmed Mr Kusa had travelledto Britain of his own free will,arriving on a plane fromTunisia with his son.

“Musa Kusa is one of themost senior figures inGaddafi’s government and hisrole was to represent theregime internationally - some-thing that he is no longer will-ing to do,” a spokesman said.

Questions were earlierraised about Mr Kusa’s where-abouts after Tunisian newsagency TAP reported he hadentered that country, butgave no reasons for his move.

Reward-based training: Ifthere is one thing to which alldogs respond, no matterwhat they are doing, isreceiving a treat of somesort. A treat/reward can bein the form of food, toys,playtime or plain old-fash-ioned praise.

The golden rule in trainingis: ignore any unwantedbehaviour, and praise anygood behaviour.

For instance, the puppy

who goes off to his bed andfinds a toy which he startschewing is ignored by theowner.

The next day, the puppysees a slipper on the floor,picks it up and runs off swift-ly, followed by the owner giv-ing chase. Which behaviour doyou want to see repeated? Ican tell you now that the slip-per episode is the one thepuppy will remember as it wasgreat fun.

A READER called Penelopesent in an email recentlyabout a situation thatinvolves many English peoplebeing granting Spanish Wills,which I answered.

But I promised to continuethe subject because one col-umn was not enough tocover it entirely and, just toremind you, here’s part ofthe email.

A number of years ago myhusband and I (and most ofour friends in Tenerife) madeSpanish wills, following advicegiven in your paper and fromour accountant. We believedthat this would make thingseasier for the survivor whenone of us died.

According to a recent inter-net article, “A Spanish will hasthe advantage that it can beexecuted almost immediate-ly, whereas a UK one will nodoubt exceed the deadline.

“The reason is that Grant ofProbate must be followed inyour home country, which

takes a long time and is fairlyexpensive.”

The article also states thatif you have made a SpanishWill, it will not be necessaryfor your beneficiaries to obtain a Grant of Probate (which would haveto be translated and apostil-lated).

A friend of ours, whorecently lost her husband,has been told by a Notariaand a Gestoria that, despitehaving a valid Spanish Will andoriginal death certificate etc,there is no way she can trans-fer the property to her solename and pay the Inheritancetax unless she obtains BritishProbate validated with anApostillate.

According to English Law,her circumstances do notrequire her to obtain pro-bate. To do so now will entaila great deal of extra expenseand inconvenience at a timewhen she is already very dis-tressed.

Her experience has worriedmy husband and me - andmany of our elderly friends.We would be grateful if youcould confirm if the informa-tion given by Lawbird LegalServices is correct.

If not, is it true that on thedeath of one of us, our part-ner will have to obtain BritishProbate and get it apostillat-ed, even though we haveSpanish wills? This wouldmake it very difficult to com-plete the legal formalitieswithin the time allowed.

Spanish Law states that thelaw that governs theInheritance is the national lawof the decedent (English lawin this case). Thus, Spanishlaw reverts to British law(envoy).

This means that an Englishperson can grant a SpanishWill (referred to Spanishassets) according to his/hernational law (in this case UKlaw) following Spanish lawformalities.

This Spanish Will is consid-ered valid unless in breachwith UK law. Many notariesrequest the Grant of Probateto confirm (or give moresecurity) that the Spanish Willdoes not contradict a UK’sWill or an English Court deci-sion.

If English law re-envoy toSpanish law, this would meanthat no Probate could begranted in England. At thisstage, it would be necessaryto distinguish between“immovables” (real proper-ties) and “movables” left ininheritance and coordinatethis with the applicable law tothe inheritance.Movables and Immovables

To understand easily, mov-ables are furniture and per-sonal belongings and immov-ables are the properties(apartments, houses, includ-ing movable objects attachedto those immovables).

This issue could be easy tounderstand if there is a Will.

In such a case, the Britishauthorities grant the Probatestating who the inheritorsare. And the inheritors canaccept the inheritance inSpain (with the Will andProbate).

The problem comes if thereis no Will. In such a case, wehave to distinguish betweenmovables an immovables.

In connection with themovables, the applicable lawwould be the one or the sit-uation of them. This has spe-cial features in cases ofmovables that are registeredin a Public Registry (such ascars that are registered atDirección de Tráfico orJefatura de Trafico).

Consequently, although aBritish Probate says that thenew owner of the car locatedin Tenerife is the inheritormentioned in the Probate, itwould be necessary tochange the ownership of thecar in Spain.

In other words, the Probate

itself does not change own-ership automatically. Theinheritor has to give evidenceat Trafico Authorities to reg-ister the car into his name.

Concerning immovables,the Spanish law envoy toBritish Law (national law) andBritish Law says that theapplicable Law is the law ofthe situation of the immov-ables (Spain). This is called re-envoy. It is like ping-pong.Spanish law accepts the re-envoy made by British law.

There are many differentpoints of view, includingthose of the Supreme Court,which has different opinionsin some cases. But normally,the idea is that theInheritance should be gov-erned by one uniform law (inthis case Spanish law).

Bear in mind that SpanishLaw states the “legitima”,which is a portion of theinheritance that legally goesto the legal inheritors (dece-dent).

Where there’s a will, there’s a way… just

LewisSunday 03 April, 8:00pm, ITV1Old, Unhappy, Far Off Things. Former students at an all-female Oxford college gather for a "gaudy" celebration in honour of a beloved departing professor... and at this point crime fans will won-der if perhaps they've taken a wrong turn and strayed into Dorothy L Sayers' 1935 Lord Peter Wimsey novel Gaudy Night. Don't worry, they haven't - we are firmly in 2011 as dear, lumpen Lewisand his cerebral sidekick Hathaway potter along to investigate when a partygoer is found dead at the foot of the college stairs. Lewis looks sad when he arrives and we learn that the college haspoignant, even tragic associations for him, thanks to its links with an old case. It's a knotty mystery, but never mind. It's not so complicated that it interrupts Lewis and Hathaway's visits to the pubor even requires much intervention from other branches of the Oxford force. These two do everything alone, in magnificent isolation. There are some classy guest stars headed by Juliet Stephensonas the professor and Zoe Telford as a supposedly hard-hitting feminist newspaper columnist who talks in banalities. "The jury is still out" indeed.

The Bucket List 10:15pm, ITV1In this mild comedy aboutconfronting the inevitable,two cancer patients escapetheir hospital room and setout to cross every entry offa “bucket list” (things theywant to do before they kickthe bucket). That the twomen are Jack Nicholson andMorgan Freeman is the only

good reason to see this senti-mental tale that’s shotthrough with good inten-tions. A neatly packaged lookat what everyday life canleave undone, it’s charming,if predictable, and certainlydoesn’t hang about trying tomake its point - the boys arein hospital, then they’re driv-

ing race cars, then they’re inTibet, and then... Well, let’sretain what surprises thereare. Still, it is money wellspent to see Freeman andNicholson perform, and whilethey are not a natural doubleact, they handle even a soppylittle number like this withaplomb.

Justice – This Town2.15pm, BBC1Judge Patrick Coburn(Robert Pugh) tries to con-vince people his newapproach will work The Dovefield PublicJustice Centre has beenopen for a month and it’salready hard work, in thisnew week-long drama for BBC One Daytime.Judge Patrick Coburn has so far been unable toconvince his staff – never mind the local com-munity – of his newapproach to justice, andCoburn’s bosses at theMinistry of Justice alsoremain unconvinced thathe’ll be able to deliverresults. To add insult to injury, thePJC has been broken intoovernight. It doesn’t looklike much has been takenbut a key memo from theMoJ is missing. Coburnwants to hush it up butCommunity Liaison Officerand second-in-command

Marie thinks he’s taking thewrong approach. Marieknows that they needsome good press andquick, so local reporterLouise Scanlon is broughtin to interview Coburn. Notone for a charm offensive,Coburn bristles at personalquestions, which arousesLouise’s journalisticinstincts. Rattled by the interview,Coburn realises that he hasto get out of the Centreand start engaging withthe locals. When Coburnrealises he won’t find outanything from behind thetinted windows of his car,Coburn and SeniorProbation Officer JoeGateacre borrow BMX bikesfrom some kids to com-plete their journey. At the Crown Court, thelatest case against localhoodlum Jake Little isthrown out when key wit-ness Sharna Mulhearn

doesn’t show up. A smilingJake celebrates his victorybut Sharna is worriedabout repercussions fromagreeing to testify in thefirst place, particularlywhen her mate Kaz isdrawn into it. Coburn visits his old churchfor the first time in 40 years and is astonishedto find that Father Jim is still there. The priesttells Coburn that it’s great

to have him back, the com-munity needs him; JakeLittle runs things roundhere and no one seems tobe able to do anythingabout it. Alongside Justice, BBCDaytime will showNeighbourhood Blues, a new observational documentary series follow-ing the work of a new taskforce assigned to tackle the enduring prob-lem of housing estatecrime.

I WAS talking with someone Iknow the other day, and wegot on to the subject ofsofas. To save his embarrass-ment, I will call him Rob.

He said his wife wanted tochange the colour schemeof the lounge, and he waslooking for new sofas, buthadn’t been able to find any-thing he liked.

He either liked the style butnot the colour of ones hehad seen, or the colour andnot the style. I told him wecould reupholster his exist-ing sofa in a different colourif that would solve the prob-lem, but he wasn’t all thathappy with the one he had.

I said that I had written onthis subject several times inmy Canarian Weekly column,and asked if he had read it.

“Oh, that stuff is for girls”said Rob, and then proceed-ed to go into great detailabout what kind of sofa hewould like, and the space itneeded to fit into, and eventhe colour he had in mind.So maybe this subject isn’tjust for girls after all, Rob!

I could, of course, com-ment that there are manymen out there who actuallyget more use out of theirsofa than the women do,but that might appear sex-ist.

In any case, I asked Rob tocome into the shop so thathe could see what style ofsofa he liked, and also tochoose the density and sizeof the cushions.

We would then be able todesign a sofa that suited histastes (and those of his wife,naturally) in terms of com-fort, and decide on the sizeas well.

Most sofas come in sets ofthree-seaters and two-seaters, but since these arebeing made to order, thesizes and combinations canbe adjusted to suit theroom.

I bet all this made-to-orderstuff is going to cost me afortune” said Rob.

Well, he’s wrong, becausethe sofas are made here inTenerife, and any minoradjustments to the design or

size are done at no extra costat all.

His original sofas were froma Swedish retailer, and it turnsout that the new ones arelikely to be cheaper than theoriginals!

Last, but certainly not least,is to choose the covering forthe sofa from a huge rangeof fabrics and faux leathers.

As far as the change ofcolour scheme in his lounge isconcerned, I would be delight-ed if Rob’s wife decides sheneeds new sofas every coupleof years.

But in reality, I will talk to herabout the possibility ofchoosing a neutral-coloursofa, whether it is cream,black or grey, for example,and she can then change theaccessories as often as shelikes at much lower cost.

So, take note that made-to-measure needn’t cost more,and that all this interior deco-rating stuff isn’t just for girls!

All items mentioned areavailable from Deco Nuevo,next to Ofipapel in LosCristianos.

Made to measure, Sir!

THE ARONA TownCouncil, by way of itsHousing Department,has announced thatfrom today (Friday),homeowners will beable to apply for assis-tance to rehabilitatehomes in the ruralareas of theMunicipality.

The initiative, which fallsunder the Canarian HousingPlan, is designed to retain

wherever possible, those ruralcommunities where homesare often abandoned becausethey are virtually uninhabit-able.

To qualify for the aid, appli-cants must be living in thebuilding and it must be theirprinciple and only family resi-dence. As well, the work need-ed cannot cost less than 1,200euros, materials and labour.

The Town Hall has listed thepossible needs that these oldcountry houses might have,such as the most basic ofrequirements like being con-nected up to a power and

water supply. They will alsoconsider fire safety meas-ures, the reinforcing of walls,carpentry work and in fact,any of the basic needs for adecent home that will keepthe family in the communityand see far less old countrycasas being abandoned andleft to fall into ruin.

Anyone interested in apply-ing for such help can do so at any of the Servicio de Atención al Ciudadano(Citizens Attention Services)offices in Arona town, Los Cristianos and LasGalletas.

Help to rehabilitateAronas rural homes

AS the warm weatherrolls in - and we caneven say that overnow after the winterwe’ve had - thoughtsturn to sprucing upthe home, and notjust a good springclean.

Home-owners are increas-ingly looking for ways toupdate their living spaces andmaintain the value of theirhomes without completingextensive or expensive reno-vations.

Whether you are applying afresh coat of paint to outdat-ed bathroom walls, or addingnew doors to kitchen cabi-nets, there are many ways toimprove your individual roomswithout spending a lot oftime or money.

For instance, give walls anew look with decorativestencils, wallpaper or paperedborders. They are a quick andeasy way to update any roominstantly.

Kitchens and bathrooms can

be the easiest rooms tospruce up with a few smallchanges. Replacing old, out-dated light fixtures and cabi-nets can refresh both roomswithout consuming a ton ofmoney and time with a com-plete overhaul.

An easy way to give a roomthat fresh look is to updatean old chair or table with a lickof paint.

If you’ve never had a crackat reinventing furniture withpaint, especially the water-based eggshell finish varietiesthat can be purchased any-where, you’ll be amazed atthe transformation.

All it takes is a lot of care,some sanding down ifrequired and a steady hand.The beauty of water-basedpaint is that it will still dry to ahard finish, and you haven’tgot that awful brush-cleaningheadache with white spiritafterwards.

Mind you, brushes are socheap to buy these days thatyou can always toss themaway after you’ve used themonce. But oil-based paintseems such a chore to use,

and there really is no need,unless it is for outdoorrestoration such as windowframes or front and backdoors.

Another really hot tip tointroduce smart, new-lookingfurniture to the home is tovisit a good second-hand fur-niture shop. In the UK, thereare many specialists, and theygenerally deliver the goodsfor a few quid.

Over here, in the south, wehave a number of recognisedshops selling top-quality, usedfurniture, some of which canbe left as it is, and otherpieces renovated beyondrecognition with a few brushstrokes.

Dear David,I read your page each which with interest, i only have a smallterrace and grow everything in pots. Which is fine but nowwith more time on my hands I hanker after an allotment. Doyou know if these exist in the south of Tenerife and if so howdo you go about getting one.RegardsJohn King

John,Thank you for your email, many people ask me advice onwhere to find a piece of terra firma to plant fruit and veggies.Unfortunately I don’t have an answer, I have attempted in thepast to contact various agencies without success. Perhapsyour first port of call is the Citizens office of the area in whichyou live. Unless do any of our readers have any further infor-mation. If you do then please contact me.David

GARDENERS might bebest sticking to inde-pendent retailers ifthey want good cus-tomer service, expertadvice and qualityplants, says consumerchampion Which?Gardening.

For the second time run-ning, Coolings, an independ-ent garden centre in Kent,has been chosen as Which?members’ top rated gardencentre. It was closely followed by Gordon Rigg (Yorkshire) and Ayletts Nurseries(Hertfordshire). All threereceived five out of fivestars for the range andquality of their products.Which? members alsomarked them highly for thehelpfulness, knowledge andavailability of staff.

Dedicated garden-centrechains the Garden CentreGroup / Wyvale and CountryGardens once again receivedlow scores overall, with

Which? members ratingthem just satisfactory forproduct quality. Which?members were disappointedby the level of staff knowl-edge, helpfulness and avail-ability at these chains.

Big chains Focus andHomebase came bottom ofthe pile for the second time,all scoring badly on therange of products and quali-ty of staff service. Tescoand B&Q didn’t fare muchbetter, although they weregiven four stars for price.

Ceri Thomas, editor ofWhich? Gardening, says:

“Independent garden cen-tres remain the cream ofthe crop when it comes toshopping for the garden,winning praise for theirgreat service and qualityproducts. Big chains are stilllagging behind, with Focusand Homebase bringing upthe rear – they’ve got a lotto learn about customerservice.”

Shop-workersneed to knowmore about it

IT’S AMAZING how asmall space can betransformed into astunning feature.With a little imagina-tion, a balcony canbecome striking, cre-ating a feel of extraspace. Some things to consider:

The wall of the buildingbacking the balcony

Consider the style or look ofthe wall. If it’s attractive, thenlandscape to complement itand show it off. If it’s unat-tractive, then landscape tohide the wall, or perhaps dec-orate the wall by painting toimprove the appearance. Ifthe wall is mainly glass, do youwant to restrict the amountof light passing through, orcreate some privacy? Do youwant to maintain as muchlight entering the building aspossible? These considera-tions will have a big impact onplacement of plants or fea-tures such as seating. Are there side walls?

These will help to furthercontain the balcony. This canhave a variety of effects,such as blocking off neigh-bouring units, restrictinggood views or blocking outbad ones, reducing the overall

feeling of space, or reducingwind (which can be beneficialin that it makes the area morepleasant, or conversely it canreduce the cooling effectthat the wind provides on hotdays). Getting more use of availablespace.

This can be achieved byusing window boxes hangingon the outside of thebalustrade, attaching hangingbaskets from the eaves, orattaching hanging basketsfrom a pergola above the bal-cony.The environment of balconies

Balconies are often exposedplaces which can be inhos-pitable to many types ofplants. Wind in particular maybe a problem, and dependingon the aspect, a balcony maybe either a sun trap, becom-ing too hot at times; or con-tinually in the shade, starvedof light and warmth. Thereare plenty of hardy plants,however, which will grow wellin even the harshest condi-tions.How to grow plants on bal-conies

There are three main prob-lems with growing plants onbalconies -

They often dry out easily,they run out of nutrients andgrowing space is limited

Drying out

Plants are normally grown insome type of container on abalcony. If the area is exposedto wind, or excessive heat, itis important to avoid theroots drying out. There are afew things you can do to min-imise this:

-Grow in larger containers -Provide a constant supply

of water by using a capillarywatering system, a drip irriga-tion system, or a hydroponicsystem.

-Mulch plants heavily. -Use drought resistant

plants. -Build a wind break -Use a good quality potting

soil. Add things to your pot-ting mixes to improve theirability to hold moisture (e.g.peat moss, or water storinggranules & wetting agents.) Nutrition

Regular feeding is impor-tant! Nutrients will be lostfrom the growing media,both through leaching away indrainage water and throughplants extracting nutrientsfrom soil. Frequent light appli-cations of nutrients arepreferable. Heat and fre-quent watering can cause agreater leaching of fertiliserthrough the bottom of potsthan might otherwise be thecase. Slow release fertilisersare best in most cases. Limited Growing Space

Careful plant selection willensure you choose plantsthat are not too vigorous forthe amount of space youhave available. Using Containers

Growing your plants in con-tainers allows you to readilychange your garden as youdesire, moving plants aroundto create new vistas. Don’tlimit yourself in the types ofcontainers you use. Plants for balconies

With the right attention,you can grow most things.Select plants to suit the spaceavailable. Large plants thatrequire frequent pruning maybe inappropriate. Rampantgrowers should also be avoid-ed as they soon take overwhat space you have, oftenchoking out other plants. Hardy and low maintenance

Cacti; Succulents; Asparagusfern; Nephrolepis (FishboneFern); Tradescantia(Wandering Jew) Geraniums &Pelargoniums; Daisies;Cymbidium orchids;Bromeliads

Bamboo; Conifers; Roses;Citrus Colourful and relatively hardy

IF you’re looking forward torelaxing and soaking up thesun on the beach, you’ll wantto look your best.

A six-pack and toned mus-cles don’t appear overnight (asone client thought) so the keyto getting “beach-fit” is tostart your health and fitnessplan early, rather thanattempting a crash-course intraining and dieting.

You need plenty of time toget in shape because rapidweight-loss plans are ineffec-tive and harmful to your long-term health.

So what is the best strategyto get beach-fit and make sureyou look good? Follow thetraining and dietary advicehere and you’ll tone-up, shape-up, and feel good on thebeach as well.½-kilo is enough

Attempting to lose weightfaster than half-a-kilogram(1lb) a week almostalways leads to subsequent,additional, unwanted weightgain.Keep water handy

Ensuring that a bottle ofwater is always available, atyou desk, in your car, etc, willhelp keep your fluid levelstopped up, make your skinlook great and fend off falsehunger symptoms.Easy on the alcohol

The calories from alcohol inbeer, wine and spirits arestored as body fat if they’renot used at the time of con-sumption; so reducing youralcohol intake will help with

your weight-loss programme.Correct food choices equalfewer calories

Incorrect food choices areoften triggered by energylows, causing “quick-energyhits” through highly-calorificfoods like chocolate. By choos-ing slow energy-release foodssuch as bananas, you will main-tain constant energy levelswith fewer calories.Don’t overdose on protein

A common misconceptionwhen looking to build muscle isthat you should eat as muchprotein as possible. The maxi-mum amount of protein thebody can utilise and absorbper day is just two grams foreach kilo of your bodyweight,and that is for someone train-ing extremely hard. Any excessprotein eaten will be convert-ed and stored as body fat, andbe warned that too much pro-tein consumption can causekidney damage. Turn up the resistance

Include resistance training aspart of your exercise pro-gramme. By toning up andbuilding up your muscles, youwill increase the amount ofcalories you burn throughoutthe day, even when at rest.Muscle costs more

The “energy cost” of a bodywith a greater muscle mass ishigher than a body carryingexcess body fat so, if you buildmuscle, your engine is runningfaster 24 hours a day, leadingto further body-fat reduction.Train early

Exercising in the morning

kick-starts your metabolism(the rate at which you burncalories) and the benefits canlast for up to 15 hours.Keep balanced

When you look in the mirror,the main muscles you see areyour abdominals (stomach),chest and biceps (upper arm).Avoid over-training theseareas because you will developpostural imbalances. Make surethat weights’ programmetrains all around the body andnot just the muscles you seewhen you look in the mirror.CV is good

When looking to build mus-cle, many men shy away fromcardiovascular (CV) trainingbecause they are concernedthat it will counteract theirmuscle gains. However, for abalanced health and fitnessprogramme, CV training isessential to ensure that yourbody’s most important muscle- your heart - is also trained.Abs are not enough

If you’re looking to get a six-pack for the beach, sit-ups foryour abdominal muscles arejust one of the exercises youshould be doing. Exercises foryour lower abs, such as leg-only V-Sits (sit on the floorwith your legs elevated andalternately bend and straight-en your knees) should beincluded, together with train-ing for the obliques (musclesat the sides of your abdomen).Train your core

In addition to the heart,another muscle group which isextremely important to trainis your core, or deep-posturalmuscles. Good core strengthwill “pull everything in”, as wellas greatly improving your pos-ture.Legs are important

An additional advantage ofincluding CV training in yourbeach-fit plan is that almost allCV training involves using yourlegs - running, cycling etc - sothese exercises will tone-upand build-up your leg musclesto match your upper bodytraining.

Following this plan to build alean, muscular and tonedbody, and improve your all-round health as well. It willsurely give that edge this sum-mer when step on to thebeach!

CARL PATTISON


from Robot, answers your hair questions

Health & Beauty www.canarianweekly.com

HOW many times haveyou reached for theregular conditioneryou’ve probably hadfor the last few years,on and off, and stillfound your hair stilldoesn’t look or feelany better after usingit?

Are you using the right onefor you? Or are you just lis-tening to publicity thatassures you you’re using thebest available? Think again!

Most conditioning treat-ments (and I will try not toget too technical) work onlyby coating the hair in a layerof the product to simply“masque” over the problem.

For example, let’s describeyour hair as a pencil-type sur-face, smooth to the touch.But if you could look deepdown, you would see layers ofscales.

These scales are like protec-tive armour over your hairand serve to give it move-ment, causing it to shine - alittle like scales of a fish’sbody.

These scales normally lay ontop of each other, smoothand flat. But when your hair isdry, permed or coloured-treated, the scales are dam-aged and lift, thus causingbrittle and coarse hair.

When you touch your hairnow, you are feeling thesescales, which are lifted, andthat’s why it feels rough andcan tangle easier.

When your hair is dry likethis, you need a conditionerthat can penetrate thesescales and “fill in” the gaps

caused by chemical treat-ments, or even hair irons.

Thus, choosing a condition-er or treatment is not as easyas deciding, “Okay, yeah, thatconditioner will do”. You needto decide on which problemyou are trying to solve.

Do you need to find a condi-tioner that conditions yourhair lightly? Then look for onethat says Everyday use. Thiswill be sufficient for hair thatneeds only a quick rinse togive protection to normal todarker-tinted hair.

Need a more hydrating con-ditioner? Then look for wordslike Moisturising, Penetratingor Repairing, because thesewill keep your hair in goodshape.

If your hair is broken orextremely dry, and/or frizzy,you don’t need a conditionerbut a “masque”. This will notact like a normal conditioneras it will work deep down into

your hair, literally helping torepair it from the inside out.

These conditioners fill in thegaps caused by the damagedscales to create a softerstrand of hair. This type ofconditioner needs to be usedregularly to repair thesetypes of damage. A one-offtreatment won’t performmiracles overnight.

Remember, too, that whenusing conditioners, less ismore. Don’t go mad as thiscould weigh the hair down,making it look greasy and life-less.

Try to rinse the hair in coolwater because this will help toclose the hair shaft and, thus,create more shine andsmoother hair.

Every salon carries its ownrange of speciality condition-ing treatment, so do consultyour stylist as to which one ismost suitable for your hairtype.

Out of condition?

A NEW drug in the UShas been approved totreat late-stagemelanoma, which isthe deadliest form ofskin cancer.

Yervoy, which is injected andbased on a study of 676 end-stage melanoma patients, hasbeen given the green light bythe US Food and DrugAdministration.

Those who took Yervoylived an average of 10months - four months longerthan those given an immune-stimulating treatment. Andmore than 20% of Yervoyrecipients lived at least twoyears, while some survivedeven longer.

Only two other US drugs arecurrently used to treatadvanced melanoma: dacar-

bazine, a chemotherapy agent,and interleukin-2, which is sotoxic that it is rarely used.

Neither has been shown tosignificantly extend the lives ofsufferers.

Unlike chemotherapy, whichattacks cancer cells with chem-icals, Yervoy belongs to a novelclass of immunotherapy drugs,which work by mobilising thebody’s immune system todestroy the cancer.

But Yervoy is not a magic bul-let: Nearly 13% of patientsexperienced severe to fatalauto-immune reactions, whileother side-effects includedfatigue, diarrhoea, skin rash,and intestinal inflammation.

Tim Turnham, director of theMelanoma ResearchFoundation, told AssociatedPress: “We think this is the firstin a series of important newtherapies for melanoma.”

Skin-cancer victims aregiven a newray of hope

NICOTINE may beresponsible for seri-ous complications insmokers with dia-betes, and theyshould “make everyeffort” to quit.

That’s the advice of scien-tists, who say there is newevidence to suggest theaddiction-causing chemical islinked strongly to persistent-ly-raised blood sugar levelsamong diabetics.

There may also be implica-tions for those attempting togive up the habit, who usenicotine-replacement therapyfor extended periods.

Almost three million peoplein the UK are diagnosed withdiabetes, and close to a mil-lion more may have the con-dition without knowing it.

Complications of the dis-ease include potentially life-

threatening heart attacks,strokes, kidney failure andnerve damage.

They tend to result fromblood sugar levels runningout of control and wreakingdestruction in the body. Andthe key to preventing com-plications is good manage-ment of blood sugar.

Doctors have long knownthat smoking increases therisk of diabetic complica-tions, but it has not beenclear which tobacco sub-stances are to blame.

The new research, report-ed at meeting of theAmerican Chemical Societyin California, points to theprime suspect being nico-tine.

Using human blood samples,the scientists showed thatnicotine concentrations typi-cal of those in smokersappeared to raise long-termblood sugar levels in diabetics.

WALNUTS, generallyacknowledged as aChristmas favourite,are tops at any timeof the year when itcomes to heart-healthy, nutty super-foods.

They are packed with morepotent and abundant antioxi-dants than any other popularnut, as well as healthy fibre,protein, vitamins and minerals.

All types of nuts are said tobe among nature’s most per-fect, ready-made foods. Aswell as having all the nutritiouselements necessary for ahealthy diet, they also containhigh levels of protectiveantioxidants, which counterthe effects of harmful mole-cules.

Research suggests that aregular handful of nuts canreduce the risk of heart dis-ease, certain cancers, andtype-2 diabetes. But untilnow, it has not been clearwhich nut is No1 in terms of

health-giving properties. Tosolve that puzzle, scientistsanalysed the antioxidant con-tent of nine types of nut: wal-nuts, almonds, peanuts, pista-chios, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts,cashews, macadamias andpecans.

Study leader Dr Joe Vinson,from the University ofScranton in Pennsylvania, said:“Walnuts rank above peanuts,almonds and many other nuts.

“A handful of walnuts con-tains almost twice as muchantioxidants as an equivalentamount of any other common-ly-consumed nut, or fruits and

vegetables. But unfortunately,people don’t eat a lot of them.

“I’m not saying they are areplacement for fruit and veg,but this study suggests thatmore walnuts should be eatenas part of a healthy diet.”

Dr Vinson’s team found thatwalnuts not only had moreantioxidants than other nuts,but more powerful antioxi-dants.

Those in walnuts werebetween two and 15 timesmore potent than vitamin E,which is renowned for itsantioxidant properties.

The findings were presented

at a national meeting of theAmerican Chemical Society inAnaheim, California.

Studies have also shown thatpeople who incorporate plentyof nuts in their daily diet eithermaintain weight or lose weight,says the doctor, who adds thatevidence is emerging of nutsbeing able to help brain health.

Vinson also encourages nutsas snacks. “One of the reasonsnuts are such a good snack is,that they’re certainly notempty-calories, and you feelfull,” he says. “That makes itlikely that you won’t over-eatat the next meal.”

Walnuts reallyare cracking!

IF you are looking fora restaurant whichprovides excellentfood at excellentprices, then pay a visitto Mamma’s ItalianRestaurant, in SanEugenio Alto.

We were welcomed by Geni,the owner, and she asked if wepreferred a table outside or ontheir garden-style, closed ter-race We chose inside as theterrace was full - and it wasalso pretty full inside - andelected for the set menu.What a good choice thatturned out to be because thefood was second to none.

It consisted of three courses,and each with a good selection.For starters, we had tomatosoup and potato skins, whichwere both delicious.

It gets better because forthe main course, we went forthe battered prawns, cookedto perfection, and the chickenstroganoff,with a sauce todie for. Simply fabulous!

And if all that were notenough, we had the prof-iteroles to finish; lots ofthem and literally smotheredin our favorite food. Yes,you’ve guessed: chocolate!The whole cost of each meal

was an unbelievable, unbeat-able 7.50 euros. And it’s evenbetter than if you are pre-pared to dine from 6-8pm.

Geni does home-madepasta dishes with various

sauces at 2.50 euros (1.50for kids). Lots of fellow-din-ers around us were tryingthe pasta, and we were toldit was again, like the rest oftheir food, delicious. And at

these prices, why cook athome? At these incredibleprices, and with Geni soattentive to everyone’sneeds, it was hardly anywonder that the restaurantwas full to capacity. You will

find Geni at her MammaItalian Restaurant, in SanEugenio Alto. Take the roadup the hill on the corner ofIsland Village and oppositeThe Toby Jug and find hernext to Bellísima Hair &

THE Great BritishMenu programmeresumes on BBC onMonday (6-30-7pm),with competing chefschallenged to the limitin this series.

They don’t just have toimpress three judges, allwith extremely different

tastes, but they also have to serve their fabulously-fiddly concoctions of tuilles, quenelles and woodsorrel to large numbers ofdiners, without jeopardisingthe quality - and withoutmaking them wait for hoursfor the puddings.

On top of that, it is goingto be even worse for thechefs this time because theirbrief will be to create spec-

tacular, sharing platters offood for a massive streetparty.

Scotch eggs and smoky-bacon crisps probably won’tcut the mustard as the briefis for a “real feast for theeyes” - so that guests are“encouraged to interact withthe food and each other”.

Sounds like a real mouthfulfor the poor old contestantsto swallow!

Serving up a real TV treat,but not for the poor chefs!

RYANAIR told a judgethat its 40-eurocheck-in fee was actu-ally a penalty for pas-sengers who did notprint off their board-ing passes.

The low-budget Irish air-line was taken to court by apassenger unable to printoff his boarding passthrough lack of access to aprinter.

He called the 40-euro finea “disproportionate andexaggerated” amount. ButRyanair bosses said theyfound it hard to believethat in this day and age,“every single passengerwould not have access to aprinter”.

But the company failed totake into account printingthe return boarding pass ifa person was on holiday andunable to find an internetcafé with printing facilities,or those who owned a com-puter but not a printer, asthey never needed to pro-duce paper documents.

Ryanair said in its writtencommunication toBarcelona’s MercantileCourt No1 that it was “nec-essary to establish a fine”to discourage people from“refusing to check in online,since checking-in at the air-port causes queues andfrustration”.

However, the queue fordropping off checked-inluggage is every bit as longand frustrating, with littletime saved for passengerswho print off their boardingpass in advance.

Likewise, most modern air-lines which request onlinechecking-in have touch-screen stands in arrivals atall airports, so that passen-gers can enter their detailsshortly before boarding.

Ryanair, however, insiststhat all passengers check inonline at least four hoursbefore departure, and any-

one misplacing his/her board-ing pass after checking in andprinting it has to pay.

The judge at theBarcelona Court found thatairlines were obliged byinternational law to “issue”boarding passes, butRyanair claimed that a legis-lation loophole meant thatit was not mandatory forthe airline to actually printthe pass.

During the trial, the plain-tiff stated that Ryanair’spractice was a form of“unjust wealth generation”,which allowed the airline to

claw back “millions of eurosa year” via its “abusive prac-tices not used by otherflight companies”.

He and his lawyer saidRyanair should increase tick-et prices to cover sucheventualities and “competein the market under thesame conditions as all theother airlines”.

The final verdict was thatflight companies wererequired by law to issueboarding passes, but it wasnot made clear where it leftpassengers forced to payfor not printing their own.

DESPITE all the infor-mation needed to fillout a passport appli-cation, your photo isone of the mostimportant elements.And people often getit wrong.

It should be easy. You gointo a photo booth, put yourmoney in, smile and there yougo. But unlike getting yourholiday snaps taken, produc-ing an acceptable passportphoto is not quite so straight-forward.

“We produce around 32,000passports a year for cus-tomers in Spain, Portugal,Andorra, Cuba, North Africa,Greece and Cyprus,” saysAndrew Hamilton, Head ofthe Regional PassportProcessing Centre in Madrid.

“But no matter where theapplications come from, weinvariably find that thebiggest cause for delay isthat the picture doesn’t meetthe required standard.”

So, if you don’t want yourpassport application delayedbecause of your mug-shot,follow our tips below to makesure your photo is correct.

Size matters: We need tosee more “head” and less“shoulders” in the photo.There should be at least29mm from the top to thebottom of the head, but nomore than 34mm.

No smiling: Although it’stempting to smile, it’s betterif you keep a neutral expres-sion. Teeth should not be visi-ble.

Remove glasses: If at all pos-sible, don’t wear spectaclesbecause they can give off aglare, which means we can’t

see the detail of the photo.Make sure face is clearly vis-

ible: Don’t wear hats, and trynot to let your hair coveryour face.

Make sure you’re straight-on: You need to look straightat the camera. Although weall may have a “goo”’ side, youneed to be straight-on forthe passport photo.

The plainer the better:Photos should be against aplain, light or off-white back-ground.

Don’t use your home cam-era: The photos have to be ofa particular resolution, print-ed on specific, photo-qualitypaper. It might look okay toyou, but it can often comeout grainy and faded on oursystems.

For children, the rules aren’tso stringent. There needs tobe a good likeness for chil-dren under one year of age,showing as much of thechild’s face as possible.

For children between theages of one to six, we canwaive the need for a neutralexpression, and the eyesdon’t need to be lookingstraight at the camera.

But for adults, we need it tobe right first time.

And for those who want toknow, the correct photo isNo3

PEACE descended onairports in Spain andTenerife last Fridayfollowing an end tothe threat of strikedisruptions by work-ers at key holidaytimes.

An agreement was reachedbetween unions, theGovernment and airport gov-erning body AENA, andincluded a 100-million-euroinvestment pledge for airtravel.

In favour the proposals

were an overwhelming 8,000of the 10,000 workersinvolved, including mainte-nance staff and engineers, ITsupport, runway staff, fire-fighters, administrationworkers, technicians and cus-tomer service employees.

José Blanco, Minister ofPublic Works, (centre),together with AENA presi-dent Juan Lema (left) andAntonio Vázquez, head ofIberia, signed the contractlast Friday.

Blanco stressed the valueof the peace deal, saying itwas a vital move, sincetourism was one of the main-

stays of the economy, espe-cially here in Tenerife.

The strikes were plannedfor the Easter holidays (20th,21st, 24th, 25th and 30thApril), the May Bank Holidayand other important schoolholiday dates throughoutthe summer.

A delighted Blanco told themeeting that 2011 would be“a great year” for air travelgrowth. He also thankedAENA workers for their“responsibility” in voting forthe preliminary terms agreedbetween AENA and theunions, and for calling offtheir strikes.

TAURUSIf you feel there arehidden enemieswaiting for you tomess up, you’re

probably right, so keep your witsabout you this week and be extra vig-ilant about doing things by the book.There could be crossed wires overcommunications, so remain alert.

GEMINIA joint financial situ-ation cause frustra-tion and could leadto building resent-

ment, but be careful what you say inanger as it may come back to hauntyou. Look more deeply into situationsand be honest and realistic with your-self over actions you’ve taken in thepast.

CANCERYou may have to putcareer plans on ice,as home conflictsneed your full atten-

tion before all else this week. However,things clear up quickly and you canstart to enjoy emotional intimacy, aboost in your positive attitude, andmuch more hope for the future.

LEOYou have formulat-ed a meticulous planto reach your long-term ambitions and

will let nothing and no one stand inyour way, so don’t let a bump in theroad over a long-standing friendship

kick you out of gear. Spending moretime with an intimate partner is vitalto keep the flames burning.

VIRGOTake care of linger-ing responsibilitiesbefore embarkingon a new opportuni-

ty because, if you leave loose ends,they could trip you up. You’re eager tomove forward, but you need to applypatience over rethinking recentstrategies, as you don’t want toencounter hurdles along the way.

LIBRAIf you would likenothing more thana thaw in hostilitiesbetween you and a

certain someone, you really need tosit around the debating table andwork on a compromise that suits youboth. You must be aware thattogether, you make a formidableteam. Clear up recent crossed wiresand promise to tell the truth, nomatter what.

SCORPIOSteady as you goover work mattersand new projects,and please stay

within your current limitations untilyou get the feel of where you want togo next. It’s only then you can go outon a limb and take a chance. Feelingunder the weather? Maybe it’s timefor a check-up at the doctors to putyour mind at rest

SAGITTARIUSYou may meetminor resistancethis week, butdon’t be too quick

to throw in the towel. Continue tosee the bigger picture and work toretain your sense of humour. It’swhat keeps you going when unex-pected hurdles try to slow you down.Don’t rush into emotional commit-ments.

CAPRICORNYou can’t cut your-self into 10 pieces,so you’ll need tolearn to prioritise

when demands fly at you from alldirections this week. Your financeslook promising and it seems as they’re taking an upward swing.But you may need to rethink strate-gies on a daily basis to remain buoy-ant.

AQUARIUSYou may find it ahard struggle tostay true to yourlong-held principles

when someone challenges yourbelief system. But with the moon inyour sign midweek giving you anedge, you’ll railroad others with some fast-talking diatribe andyou will also side-step having to makea decision one way or the other.Clever!

PISCESPerhaps it’s timefor a lifestylereview, startingwith what you can

cut back on, as you can no longer spend money like water. The whole country is tightening itsbelt and you’re no exception, yet you seem averse to sacrificing what you consider to be well-earned luxuries. Be care-ful.

ON THE ROAD WITH JAVEmail: [email protected]

THE severe disruptionto production of carcomponents in Japancaused by the earth-quake and tsunamicould reduce world-wide car manufactur-ing by up to 35%.

That equates to about fivemillion vehicles - and facto-ries would not have thecapacity to catch up lateron.

The forecast, by renownedIHS Automotive analysts, isbased on the assumptionthat the problems with sup-plies from Japanese facto-ries will continue for at leastthree months.

Most car factories in thecountry have halted produc-tion since the tragedy, whichhas cost thousands of lives.And though many of theseplants were not directlyaffected, a significant num-ber of factories belonging tocar-industry suppliers wereclobbered.

Japan produces a signifi-cant 13% of the world's out-put, but the shortage ofspecific supplies is having aneffect on European car mak-ers as well.

General Motors and PSAPeugeot Citroen havestopped production of some

models already, whileGermany’s premium brandscould face a shortage ofelectronic components.

Better news nearer homecame via a joint announce-ment from Vauxhall andRenault, confirming thatproduction of the next gen-eration Vivaro van will goahead at Vauxhall’s Lutonfactory. This should safe-guard the future of morethan 1,000 workers.

The co-operation betweenRenault and Vauxhall goesback to 1996, when thecompanies joined forces toproduce the Renault Masterand Vauxhall Movano com-mercial vehicles.

The companies then intro-duced the smaller RenaultTrafic/Vauxhall Vivaro vans.The Vivaro is badged as anOpel for markets outside theUK.

By the end of 2010, anincredible 1.25 million exam-ples of the outgoingVivaro/Trafic had been pro-duced. The Renault andVauxhall versions are virtual-ly identical, though market-ed independently.

And finally, how about thisfor a footnote? A 26-year-old woman from SouthLondon has failed the drivingtheory test 90 times. Nuffsaid!

EVERYTHING is not allsweetness and light,or even black andwhite, in the greenworld of electric cars,which are the quietestmotors around.

Perversely, it’s becausethere are strange soundsbeing emitted from some

cars, which contravene UKnoise regulations, accordingto a report in the Mail onSunday.

Nissan have been forcedto remove the reversebleeper on their all-new, all-electric Leaf, which is sup-posed to be launched inEurope any time now forjust under £26,000 (30,000euros).

Korean car manufacturer

Hyundai have had to delaythe launch of their SonataHybrid in the US to removea feature which enables thedriver to disable its virtualengine sound at speedsbelow 12mph.

In Britain, it is forbidden touse audible alerts on vehi-cles between 11pm and6am. But in the US, electricand hybrid machines mustmake false sounds at any

speed below 12mph.Another car-making compa-ny in trouble are GeneralMotors, who have spent 18months working out how toget the noise back into theirelectric-powered Ampera -after spending billionsdeveloping a quiet, greencar!

No wonder manufacturersare screaming blue murder,or should that be green?

Bleep, bleep, it’s enough to make Nissan’s Leaf car-makers curse

Whisper it not… thesegreen cars are too noisy

Elche 1 CD Tenerife 0IT’S Groundhog Day.Again. Another disap-pointing defeat,another match whereTenerife deservedsomething, andanother game endingwith just nineTenerife players onthe pitch.

Oh, and a punch-up in thedressing room. Yes, it’s thesoap opera that is CDTenerife.

At times this season, it hasbeen a bit like Sky’s naff 90sfooty soap Dream Team.Minus the explosions, drugsbusts and captain “playing”with the owner, of course.

This latest defeat is easy totake, despite it being a sea-son-record fifth straightdefeat. Elche are flying, aspredicted here at the start ofthe season, and they couldyet end up in La Liga.

So the fact that Tenerifepushed them so hard shouldbe applauded. This time, theteam did show some heartand, with a bit of luck, wouldhave returned with some-thing.

But Lady Luck has been hid-ing from Tenerife all season.She is not to blame for whathas happened, but she maybe required if the relegationbattle is to be won.

The defeat at Elche leavesTenerife seven points fromsafety and, with Las Palmasand Recreativo finding form,

it means it’s two from us,Salamanca and this weekend’sopponents Nastic for thedrop.

In Spain, the sides’ head-to-head records rather than goaldifference decides the plac-ings when the points are tied.So since Nastic triumphed inSanta Cruz before Christmas,Tenerife simply have to win.Or theoretically, Nastic havean extra point.

A win for Tenerife wouldmake the gap a workable fourpoints, while a defeat wouldmake it a season-ending 10.

Tenerife will go into thematch without first-choiceleft-back Beranger and mid-fielder Hidalgo, both of whomare suspended, but Ricardo isavailable after the yellow cardhe collected in Elche wasrescinded. What part he playsis anyone’s guess after hispunch-up with Julio Alvarezafter the match.

Apparently, Alvarez ques-tioned Ricardo’s efforts,which brought a physicalresponse from the local lad. Itcan be seen in two ways.Some fans will be pleased thatthere is some passion for thefight, while older sages willsay it shows how divided theteam are.

The first Nastic match was areal low point in a season ofdisasters. The display at theHeliodoro was spineless, savefor the fine debut fromJosmar Zambrano.

You will recall that I wroteabout his absence last week,and it remains a mystery as towhy this great prospect iskicking his heels in thereserves.

Manager Antonio Tapiaapparently feels the relega-tion scrap is too much for akid, but I strongly disagree. Hehas the X Factor which canswing tight matches. Hescared the life out of Nastic,and their defenders will nothave forgotten that.

Hopefully, the Tenerife ladswill remember that match aswell. It is vital that CDT returnwith at least a point. Nasticare no world-beaters, butthey have chalked up somegood victories recently.

They were good value forthe 2-1 win at Xerez, and solidin beating Cartagena andNumancia at home. But they

were put in their place byBarca B in the derby match,and were poor last weekagainst Cordoba.

Which Nastic will turn up?Tenerife captain Marc

Betran is none the wiser:“They are a strong side andwe must match them in thatway,” he said. “They have hadsome good results recentlyand we have lost five straightgames.

“That has to end, and wehope that happens onSaturday. The only message Ican give the fans is that wewill try our very best to getthe three points we need.”

It’s hardly Churchillian!Three points over Nastic,

coupled with a win from nextweekend’s home match withHuesca would make the worldseem a different place. It’s

baby steps for the Tenerifeplayers and fans. One game ata time. Every match is a cupfinal. Chose your cliché.

But one thing is crystalclear: A defeat on Saturdayevening will mean it’s SegundaB next season and hello totrips to Alcala, Cacereno andCoruxo!

THERE was one out-standing issue to beresolved in Division 1in the last week of the2010/11 Oasis FmDarts League - thetrophy for the playerscoring the highestnumber of 180s.

With three players on sevenapiece, it was a case of whocould fire in a maximum or twoto win the treasured silver-ware. Nauta Bar’s Tom hit hissecond 180 during an 8-0drubbing of Toscales Ensecan,who had Carmelo replyingwith his second as well.

Rood A player Steve threwhis second and Luc his eighthmaximum in a 5-3 win atStrikers, only the ChucklingChimp putting up any resist-

ance for the home side. Exiles’ Del Boy, secured his

eighth 180 of the campaignat Target B, while Richard didlikewise as Bar 180 A tookseven points from Heroes.

That meant a three-way tiefor the trophy between Luc,Del Boy and Richard, so muchapplause all round for the ter-rific trio!

Elsewhere, Target A signedoff in fine form with a 7-1victory over the X-Men andSilver Surfers recorded thesame result over a pluckySundowners side.

The Phoenix Bar had Ashleyand Steve Jones both hitting20-dart legs to cement thirdplace with a 5-3 success overthe Allsorts.

Barracudarts Boys areDivision 2 champions! Needingfour points from their lastmatch at home to the always-

hard-to-beat Tavern team,they just about camethrough.

Indeed, they were 3-2 downafter the singles but tookboth doubles to claim the titlein their first season.

Nautas Nutters kept up theirend of the bargain by ham-mering the Hunters 8-0, whileGaffers will join them in thetop flight next year after acomfortable win at Bar 180 B.

La Cana Lancers roundedoff their season with a 6-2loss at Rood B, and NaughtyNautas dished out the sameat home to Marilyns.

The Playgirls finished on thecrest of a slump after a 7-1beating at the hands ofWoodys B, while the Naturals,naturally, got the better ofPhoenix Flames 5-3.

And finally, well done toAmigos Bad Girls for complet-ing what has been a very dif-ficult season for them. A 3-5defeat to Yelas Bar ensuresthe wooden spoon for them.

Tonight (Friday) the JurgenTrophy singles knock-outcompetition will be held atthe Nauta Bar in Guaza. I hopeto see you all there.By Geoff Huxtable

Champions: Bar Nauta Aand Barracudarts Boys

THERE were fourthrilling semi-finals inthe Liberty SegurosCup and Plate onTuesday evening,with all matchesincredibly tight and acredit to the League.

At Gaffers bar, a good-size crowd saw Hoops takethe early frames againstPalms A. The Los Cristianosside took full advantage ofsome sloppy Palms shotsand at 3-1 they looked in astrong position.

That was cemented bysome fine doubles framesand, at 5-1, they believedthey had booked their finalplace. But Palms A hadbeen beaten only once thisseason, and they were notfinished.

Bungalow and Johnnyclawed the scoreline backto 5-3 as Shaun and Chrismissed good chances tofinish the tie. Roscoe beatKarl to make it 5-4 andGraham won an under-standably-nervous 10thframe with Stevie to forcea tie break.

Shaun's solid break splitthe balls, and he looked agood favourite to send

Hoops through. ButBungalow slowly tied himup in knots.

A foul then gaveBungalow two shots, andhe cleaned up to send hisside into this month’s final.It was an amazing come-back and the Hoops ladswere crestfallen at the end.

There was a similar matchat the Terrace Bar, onAmarilla Golf, as SecondDivision Inn The Pink flewout of the traps againstToscales. They led 4-2 afterthe doubles matches andJames swiftly made that 5-2.

Inn The Pink’s fine cup runstarted in the preliminaryround, and they sensedanother massive upset.However, Toscales areunbeaten in 2011 and, asHoops discovered, it’s hardto get to the magic sixframes.

Captain Alex pulled it backto 5-3 and Steve made it 5-4. Toscales were on a rolland Mark levelled the matchas he edged past Terry toforce an 11th frame.

Mike was given the nodfor Toscales and he cameup against James, who hadmade the League'sRepresentative side inJanuary. It was another

edgy match, but it was Mikewho sunk the winning black tobreak Pink hearts.

The Plate final will seeSummerland Elite squaring-upto Bar Tasca. Elite were alwaysin control against Barracuda

Bandits at Atlantis Bar inAdeje, and 7-3 was a fairscoreline.

It was a little closer in theother semi as Bar Tasca snuckpast fellow-Division Two high-fliers Legends B 6-4.

It should be some final!Both the Cup and Plate

finals will be played at PalmsBar on 26th April, with an8.30pm start time.Results Liberty Seguros Cup
