Hello everyone.

A happy Easter to all of you and hope you all enjoy the holiday period.

Starting this month we have a new wordsearch competition, with prizes.

A bumper edition for April, with lots of news.

We hope the wet weather in March has now left us and we have the Spanish sunshine to look forward to.

Two big events coming up in April, so watch for their news in this issue.

With a full magazine this month, we were unable to print pictures taken of the new airport. We will try to include them in our May edition. They will also be with all of our other pictures on our website.

Have a good month.

We at your Gran Alacant Advertiser continue to bring you all of the news, including that from our Gran Alacant Councillor, Loreto Cascales, as we have since May 2005.

It is our perogative at the magazine, NOT to update this 2005 picture, as we all looked a great deal younger!!!

Firstly an email to us, with an answer As Elche Hospital is the hospital for our area is it possible to have a bus that goes direct from Gran Alacant to Elche Hospital?

It is hard to believe that Gran Alacant is part of Santa Pola 10 minutes down the road as the bus service is between 1-2 hours a bus, then to go anywhere from Santa Pola the Su Bus does not connect it can take hours to get to Guardamar, Elche or anywhere else. Why can't we have a service that begins at Gran Alacant to Elche and other destinations in the south.

Talks have taken place with the Su Bus company and arrangements are being made to start a new service to and from Elche hospital for Gran Alacant.

More transport news is that there are to be two taxis stationed on Gran Alacant at the Commercial Centre.

They will be prominent to all arriving and leaving GA. and yet more transport news We asked the question, when will the Santa Pola bus station be built.

The Town Hall now has to wait to hear from Valencia about the route of the new tram service arriving via Alicante Airport. The service will arrive at a place yet to be decided on Gran Alacant on its journey from the airport. This will then link to Santa Pola, but until the exact route is

confirmed, decisions cannot made on the bus station in Santa Pola.

From there it will run onward to Playa Lisa in Santa Pola and then on to Guardamar and onward south.

Another major story, this time about a second school for Gran Alacant.

There are many rumours circulating about this, but here are the facts.

There are 126 youngsters needing a place at the present school, but the school is full, so, as a few years back, portable classrooms will be installed at the GA Commercial centre, as before, to accomodate these children whilst waiting for a new school to be built. The Town Hall have offered a piece of land to the Valencian Government to build a new school, which would be alongside the site of the new proposed health centre. (marked on our map of Gran Alacant at the back of this issue).

But The Town Hall already knows that they will soon need another school for the next age group when all of the children leave the present school.

Another, much larger site, has also been offered to Valencia, in the hope that they will then agree to building two schools on this new site. The proposed area is right up the top of GA on the right, as you approach the lighthouse.

The Town Hall want to avoid CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

transporting children down the N332 to and from Santa Pola for their schooling. So, we await the outcome of these forthcoming decisions.

On March 12th an open day was held at the new Gran Alacant Sports Centre, and what a place it is becoming. We have pictures for you on the right.

As with many new facilities, this was named after a person in the area, this time, someone who has given much to the sporting scene in Santa Pola, Jose Antonio AlemaĂą Valero. It is good to see local facilities named in this way. We were at the official get together for the family to have a look round and their photos taken, before the doors opened for the “open dayâ€?.

The indoor arena is superb, with floor space for many sporting activities and a stepped concrete area for spectators. There are also rooms for washing and toiletries as well as a massive area under the stand for storage.

The arena will not be open until the outside tennis courts, football pitch etc are completed due to the safety aspect of people around whilst building work is still being carried out.

Anyone, whether or not you are in a club, will be able to get together, book the amenity you want, inside or outside, and get on with taking advantage of all there is to offer.

This will be one of the best sports centres for miles around. For the enjoyment of the people of Gran Alacant.

A large event is to be held during the Easter period on Gran Alacant. The organiser of some of the big festivals in the area (including the one at CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

All of the 100 trees that have died along the length of the recent new paving were being replaced during

late March. None of the new trees had to be paid for by our Town Hall.

Another area of replacement paving

end of school which has upset some residents. As in many other cases, some like the new system, some do not. You can’t please all of the people all of the time.

Outside of the Carabasi Complex a temporary man hole cover has caused a few accidents. Loreto is going to talk to the relevant people concerned, about this.

The new market area has finally been approved by Valencia. There are still numerous complaints at the present position, both from the residents and from the stall holders who are running out of space. There are still more than 30 stallholders who want to come onto Gran Alacant. Until the new site is complete, the market road is to be extended across the road past the Dragon Restaurant . Work should start on the new site by late summer, at a cost of 600,000 euro. The Valencian Government is now putting out the contracts for tender.

We are hearing of a few breakins, so do be aware that these opportunists are still about, and be careful to lock grill doors even if you are in the house.

This is a temporary fix until the big new renovation along Av Mediterraneo is complete and then this particular area of pavement can be paved properly. They will pave from this area, to the small roundabout and up beyond the allotments .

MONTEMAR BOWLS AND SOCIAL CLUB (Sponsored by Supa Valu) Monte Mar Mixed Rinks Trophy held on 19th 20th February 2011 Twenty-four teams entered this prestigious competition this year, most of them from the Costa Blanca, but one team “Indalo” (From Mojacar) also took part. The teams were split into 6 groups of 4 and each team played each other within their group. By lunchtime on Sunday 20th the group stages had been completed and the 4 best performing teams were known.

Emerald Isle eventually won through by beating Horadada in a good final. Spectators were treated to some good quality bowling throughout the two days especially in the final stages. Monte Mar Bowls Club wishes to thank all those who played in the tournament, those who assisted, those who supported the event Emerald Isle Winning Finalists. by attending and our sponsors Bancaja. Our thanks also go to Pilar from Bancaja who presented the prizes to the finalists and last but not least to Jerry Bartley who umpired the event.

March is a very busy period in which besides completing the three leagues that our teams are competing in, there are several internal competitions the first of which was the Bernard Pearce Memorial Trophy, held on 12th March 2011.

On another cold and wet morning 12 teams split into 4 groups. Each team played three games against the other team in their group. The three games they each played was in two sets of 5 ends with an additional end if required to decide the winner. Once all the games had been played the best performing team based on the three games and the number of actual sets won was declared the winner. This is the first time we have used ʻsets playʼ and it was an education to many of us. The team of Terry lemon Sue Bounds, Pat Fielding and George Wilkinson were the eventual winners by amassing 5½ points.

Between Monday 13th March to Sunday 20th March our finals week has been taking place in which various teams compete for internal competitions that have been running since the start of the season.

So far we have had 5 finals over two afternoons and there are still 6 to be resolved (Thursday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons).

1. Mixed Pairs – The winners with the Dave Melville & Rita Bernard Pearce Memorial Trophy.

Towle beat Harry Dobson & Rowena Good, 24 shots to 16.

2. Mixed Fours – Pauline Woodfine, John Corbet, Danny King & Barrie Woodfine beat Sandra Errington, John Chapman, Gordon Hemming & Terry Errington, 29 shots to 10.

3. 2-Wood Pairs - Harry Dobson & Rowena Good beat Alan & Denise Ashberry, 15 shots to 4.

4 Ladies Singles – Babs Caiger beat Sue Bounds 21 shots to 15.

5. Menʼs Singles – Idwal Roberts beat Barrie Woodfine 21 shots to 19.

6. Men's Pairs Mick Soars and John Caiger beat David Buckland and Mike Farrelly, 7. Mixed Trips Fred Taylor, June and Bill Webster beat Danny King and Denise and Alan Ashberry.

The Mixed Pairs and both singles games were exciting games and were only decided on the last couple of ends of each. This was particularly true of the Menʼs Singles which could have gone either way right down to the last wood played.

Thanks to all the finalists for giving the William Archdale Clifton spectators such 19th September 1935 entertainment.

GRAN ALACANT SERVICES,

EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A FEAR OF SOMEONE UNDER MY BED AT NIGHT. SO I WENT TO A SHRINK AND TOLD HIM: 'I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.'

'Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the shrink. 'Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears..'

'How much do you charge?' 'Eighty euro per visit,' replied the doctor.

'I'll sleep on it,' I said.

Six months later the doctor met me on the street. 'Why didn't you come to see me about those fears you were having?' he asked.

'Well, Eighty euro a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money!

A bartender cured me for 1 euro. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought me a new pickup!'

'Is that so!' With a bit of an attitude he said, 'and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?'

'He told me to cut the legs off the bed! FORGET THE SHRINKS.. HAVE A DRINK & TALK TO A BARTENDER!

Para empezar, un email que nos han enviado:

-Ya que a esta zona le corresponde el hospital de Elche, ¿es posible tener un bus que vaya directamente desde Gran Alacant hasta el Hospital de Elche?

Es difícil de creer que Gran Alacant está a sólo 10 minutos de Santa Pola, ya que el servicio de bus pasa cada 1 ó 2 horas, ya para ir desde Santa Pola se pueden tardar horas para llegar a Guardamar, Elche o cualquier otro lugar. ¿Por qué no podemos tener un servicio que parta de Gran Alacant, hacia Elche y otros destinos?

Ha habido reuniones con la compañía Su Bus y están empezando los preparativos para un nuevo servicio Gran Alacant-Elche.

Más noticias sobre el transporte: habrán dos taxis estacionados en el Centro Comercial de Gran Alacant.

Además hemos preguntado ¿cuándo van a construir la estación de bus de Santa Pola?

El ayuntamiento tiene que esperar a que el Gobierno de Valencia indique la ruta del nuevo tranvía del aeropuerto de Alicante. Este servicio parará en Gran Alacant (todavía no se ha decidido el lugar), continuará hacia Santa Pola, hasta que no confirmen la ruta exacta, no pueden tomar decisiones sobre la estación de autobuses de Santa Pola. Desde

Eerst een email dat gestuurd is naar ons met een antwoord .

Omdat het Elche hospital ,het ziekenhuis is dat ons is toegewezen aan de bevolking van Gran alacant ,of er een mogelijkheid zou zijn om een rechtstreekse verbinding van Gran alacant naar het Elche Hospital ?

Het is moeilijk te geloven dat Gran Alacant deel uitmaakt van Santa pola, 10 minuten verwijdert van Santa pola en dat het tussen 1-2 duurt voor er een andere bus is .

Dan voor vanaf Santa pola te vertrekken met de Subus naar Guardamar of Elche of andere plaatsen kan uren duren en heel slechte verbinding .Waarom kan er geen rechtstreekse verbinding vanuit Gran Alacant naar Elche of andere bestemmingen naar het zuiden ??

Er zijn gesprekken geweest met de Bus Company Subus om een nieuwe service tegeven ,een rechtstreekse bus vanuit Gran Alacant naar Elche Hospital.

Nog meer transport nieuws is dat er ook een taxi station komt aan het GA Center ,om zo wel te vertrekken als ook om aan te komen .

En nog meer transport nieuws ..

We hebben de vraag gesteld wanneer juist de busstation van santa Pola word gebouwd ?

Het stadshuis is wachtende omdat ze de informatie vanuit Valencia nog moeten krijgen inverband met de tramservice

ahí, seguirá por Playa Lisa hacia Guardamar y más al sur.

Otra historia, esta vez sobre la segunda escuela de Gran Alacant.

Hay muchos rumores circulando, aquí tenemos los hechos.

Hay 126 niños que necesitan una plaza en la escuela, pero la escuela está llena, así que como se hizo hace unos años, se instalarán aulas portátiles en el Centro Comercial, para acomodar a estos niños mientras esperan a que el nuevo colegio se construya. El ayuntamiento ha ofrecido un trozo de tierra al Gobierno de Valencia para construir un nuevo colegio, el cual estará al lado del futuro centro de salud (está marcado en el mapa al final de este número).

Pero el ayuntamiento ya sabe que pronto van a necesitar un instituto de secundaria para cuando acaben la primaria estos niños.

Otro solar, mucho más grande, también ha sido ofrecido al Gobierno de Valencia con la esperanza de que aceptarán construir dos escuelas. La zona propuesta está al final de avda.

Escandinavia a la derecha, cerca del faro.

El ayuntamiento quiere evitar el transporte de los niños por la N332 hasta Santa Pola. Así que estamos esperando las próximas decisiones.

El 12 de marzo, se abrió por un día el nuevo Polideportivo de Gran Alacant, con todas las nuevas instalaciones, tenemos fotos en este número.

El centro se ha nombrado en honor a José Antonio Alemañ Valero, una persona que ha dado mucho a la escena deportiva de Santa Pola.

Está muy bien ver como las instalaciones locales son

vanuit Alicante vliegveld .

Die service zal ook arriveren in Gran alacant ,maar moet nog besproken worden waar juist en dat zal ook een rechtstreekse verbinding geven met het vliegveld , de transervice zal ook door gaan tot in Santa pola en verder , maar zolang de route nog niet volledig bekend is kunnen er nog geen beslissingen worden gemaakt over de busstation van Santa Pola .

Het zal van de Busstation verder door gaan naar Playa lisa dan richting Guardamar en nog verder richting het zuiden .

Nog een groot verhaal is er rond de tweede school van Gran alacant .

Er zijn al verschillende roddels maar hier zijn de feite .

Er zijn nog 126 jongeren die een plek nodig hebben in de school ,maar omdat deze school volledig volzet is ,gaan ze zoals ze al gedaan hebben in vroegere jaren , de tijdelijke klassen aan de GA Center opstellen , zo dat die kinderen tijdelijk naar school kunnen zolang ze aan de nieuwe school bouwen .

Het stadhuis heeft een stuk land aangeboden aan de Valenciaanse staat waar de school mogelijk zou kunnen gebouw worden , Wat te vinden is naast het nieuw gezondheidscenter ,dat je kan zien op de plannen in onze uitgave .

Maar het stadshuis weet ook dat er nood is aan een hogerschool voor de kinderen die van deze basischool komen , er is ook een groter stuk land voorgesteld waar mogelijk is om de twee tegelijk op te bouwen , als helemaal naar boven rijd richting de vuurtoren is het aan de rechtse kant .

Met deze beslissing wil het stadshuis het verhinderen dat de kinderen van Gran alacant met transport naar en terug via de N332 naar Santa pola .

Wachtende op de antwoorden over deze belangrijke beslissingen .

nombradas de esta forma.

Estuvimos en la reunión oficial de los familiares para echar un vistazo y sacar unas fotos antes de la apertura de puertas.

La pista interior está muy bien, con un espacio válido para muchas actividades deportivas y unas gradas de cemento para los espectadores. Hay también nuevos baños y duchas y un montón de espacio debajo de la tribuna para almacenaje.

El complejo no se va a abrir hasta que las pistas de tenis y futbol estén completas debido a razones de seguridad ya que siguen en obras.

Cualquiera, sea o no de un club, podrá reunirse, reservar el servicio que quiera y disfrutar de las instalaciones.

Este será uno de los mejores centros en kms a la redonda.

Un gran evento se va a realizar durante Pascua en Gran Alacant. El organizador de uno de los mayores festivales de la zona (incluido el de Torrevieja) está planeando el evento con algunos negocios del Complejo Carabasi. Puedes ver el anuncio en la revista.

Todos los 100 árboles que habían muerto en las zonas de aceras nuevas estaban siendo reemplazados durante finales de marzo. El ayuntamiento no ha tenido que pagar ninguno de ellos.

Otra zona donde han estado reemplazando las aceras es a lo largo del Clot, cerca del Complejo Carabasi. Es un arreglo temporal hasta que hagan una gran renovación a lo largo de avda.

Mediterráneo, entonces esta zona en particular podrá arreglarse bien.

Pavimentarán desde esta zona

Op 12 maart is er een opendeurdag gehouden aan het nieuwe sportcenter in Gran Alacant , en we hebben fotos voor jullie genomen die je kan zien in deze editie .

Zoals bij meedere gebouwen heeft het zijn naam gekregen naar een belangrijk sportfiguur van de omgeving van Santa Pola Jose Antonio Alemañ Valero.

Het is leuk om te zien dat er lokale voorzieningen naar vernoemd worden

We waren aanwezig bij de officiele gettogetter ,om een rondleiding door het sportcenter te maken voor het echt zijn deuren opend voor het publiek .

De indoor arena is prachtig, met ruimte voor vele sportieve activiteiten en een stevige concrete gebied voor toeschouwers.

Er zijn kamers voorzien voor wasgelegen en toiletartikelen, evenals een enorme gebied onder de stand voor opslag.

De arena wordt niet geopend tot de buiten tennisbanen, voetbalveld etc zijn voltooid dankzij het veiligheidsaspect van de mensen rond het gebouw terwijl werk nog steeds wordt uitgevoerd. Iedereen, zal of u nu in een club, of niet kunnen samenkomen, boek de amenity u wilt, binnen of buiten, en aan de slag te profiteren van alles wat er te bieden.

Dit zal een van de beste sportcentra voor mijlen rond. Voor het plezier van de mensen van Gran Alacant.

Een groot evenement wordt gehouden in de periode van Pasen in Gran Alacant.

De organisator van een aantal van de grote festivals in het gebied (waaronder die van Torrevieja) is van plan de gebeurtenis met een aantal van de restaurants op de Carabasi strip. Zie de advertentie elders in deze editie.

Alle van de 100 bomen die langs de lengte van de recente nieuwe bestrating zijn gestorven zullen vervangen worden voor eind maart. Geen van

hasta la rotonda de los nuevos huertos.

Ha habido quejas sobre la música que viene del colegio. La campana ha sido reemplazada por música al comienzo y final de las clases, lo cual ha disgustado a algunos residentes. Como en otros casos, a algunos les gusta el nuevo sistema, a otros no. No se puede complacer a todos todo el tiempo.

Afuera del Complejo Carabasi, un pozo cubierto temporalmente, ha causado algunos accidentes. Loreto va a hablar con las personas responsables.

La nueva zona para el mercado ha sido aprobada por el Gobierno de Valencia. Hay todavía muchas quejas en la localización actual, por parte de los residentes y los puesteros que no tienen espacio.

Hay más de 30 puesteros que quieren venir a Gran Alacant.

Hasta que el nuevo sitio no este completo, el mercadillo va a ser extendido hasta la calle de enfrente del Restaurante Dragón. Van a empezar los trabajos al final del verano, con un coste de 600,000€.

El Gobierno de Valencia está ahora con los contratos.

Estamos teniendo varios robos en la zona, así que cuidado que los oportunistas siguen ahí y cerrad las rejas incluso si estáis en casa.

Por favor, enviadnos cualquier pregunta para pasarle al Ayuntamiento durante nuestra próxima reunión.

de bomen moest worden betaald door het stadhuis.

Een ander gebied van vervanging bestrating vond plaats in maart, naast de rand van de clot, in de buurt van het Carabasi-Complex.

Dit is een tijdelijke oplossing totdat de grote nieuwe renovatie langs Av Mediterraneo voltooid is en vervolgens dit gebied van bestrating naar behoren kan worden geplaveid.

Zijn er klachten over de muziek uit de school.

De school start tijd bell is vervangen door muziek aan het begin en einde van de school

Buiten van het Carabasi-Complex heeft een gat in het wegdek een paar ongelukken veroorzaakt. Loreto gaat praten met de betrokkenen,

Gebied van de nieuwe markt is eindelijk goedgekeurd door Valencia.

Er zijn nog steeds talloze klachten op de huidige positie, zowel vanuit de bewoners en de kraam houders. Er zijn nog steeds meer dan 30 stallhouders die willen op Gran Alacant komen.

Werken zullen beginnen in de late zomer, tegen een kostprijs van 600.000 euro

We hebben gehoord dat er weer inbraken plaatsvonden , dus wees ervan bewust dat deze inbrekers er nog steeds zijn, en sluit ook de grils af als u niet in het huis bent.

Stuur eventuele vragen aan het stadhuis, op voor onze volgende vergadering.

Two weeks ago an elderly couple in their mid seventies living in Spain received some tragic news from the UK. Their son and grandson had been killed in a climbing accident in Scotland.

This story was reported in all the English newspapers and also on English television. What many people do not know is that a few days after this the couple were informed of even more devastating news. The elderly lady was diagnosed with terminal cancer. They were in total turmoil and had to quickly organise their return to the UK. Unfortunately, their two pet dogs Honey and Scrappy could not go with them.

We agreed to take them and they are currently safe and well in a K9 foster home. Before the distraught couple returned to the UK their parting wish was for their two dogs to go to the same new home as they have always been together. Little Honey is a Pomeranian cross and Scrappy is a miniature poodle, Honey is 8 years and Scrappy is 6 years. They have all vaccinations up to date and both have been sterilized. They play and sleep together and they are inseparable.

Linda had to have urgent surgery when she was trying to give birth as the first puppy was breached. Her owner left her in agony for more than 24 hours without taking her to a vet. A friend of the receptionist in the local vet clinic was the person that brought her to the clinic where Linda received emergency surgery. Three puppies inside her were already dead and the one that survived is with a friend and being bottle fed. Two days later Linda had a fever that was 41ยบ and so she had to have further surgery to clean out her highly infected womb (see our latest news page). Linda is on the road to recovery but she desperately needs someone to adopt her or foster her so that she can recover with people that really care for her.

Chloe and Cleo are sisters. They were found running along a busy road. They must have been abandoned just before this. They are small, aged eight months and in good health.

Libby and her 3 kittens were abandoned by her owner. She is 1 year old and a very sweet, friendly cat. She is spayed and vaccinated.

Hi to everybody, In this month there are plenty of celebrations and parades everywhere, wherever you go from 18th to 22nd of April you can attend to Holy Week processions. Sunday the 17th is Palm Sunday procession, if you want to see the best one declared of International Tourism Interest, is the one held in Elche.

If you can’t come to see every procession in Santa Pola and you have to choose one, I recommend to see the biggest that takes place on Friday the 22nd.

In the Fortress-Castle there from 20th to

68

for further information please ring: 966 692 276

23rd there will be held a Medieval Market.

About parades of Moors and Christians held this month are these: San Vicente del Raspeig , Busot , and now the magnificent parade in Alcoy, declared of international tourist interest is considered as the most spectacular of all of them, the only trouble is that takes the whole day, the date 22nd to 24th, Banyeres, also very good, 22nd to 25th, Onil , Granja Rocamora.

That’s all for now friends.

WHAT’S THAT IN THE CLOT?

by Mark Etheridge

Last month I discussed travelling back sixty years in time in your Tardis and not seeing a single Collared Dove in the Gran Alacant area – and there would be a lot of other things missing too. No Internet, no TV, no vacuum cleaners, and how would you do your laundry in the absence of washing machines?

Some might say that this would be a fine thing, we are too reliant on electrical gizmos nowadays, so getting your elbows well sudsed up and winding heavy mangles to squeeze the water out of your clothes (you DO know what a mangle was, don’t you?) would do you the world of good.

Except it wouldn’t, of course. You would send your laundry out to a washerwoman, or Lavandera, because you really couldn’t be bothered with it – so where are you going to find a Lavandera in the 21st century?

Well, right here in GA actually, only don’t expect it to come complete with a box of Arial and fabric softener. Meet the Lavandera Blanca, or White Washerwoman as the Spanish call it; better known to British birdwatchers as the White Wagtail because that is what it does – wags its tail, and never stops doing it!

The White Wagtail seen in Spain is a slightly different bird to the common British Pied Wagtail; in fact it’s a subspecies of the same race, except that the British version is more black-and-white – the Wagtail we see here is a greyer bird.

The Washerwoman name comes from the fact that the bird is always in the vicinity of

water, running about non-stop (and wagging its tail) as it darts after insects at the water’s edge – I was lucky enough to catch this one in my photograph standing still for more than one second. They are very noisy and obvious birds (so much so that my birding chum John calls them “budgies”) and are not just found in the Clot but will also entertain you at your poolside while you are sunbathing.

They are also known in some areas of Spain as Snow Birds, because they are commoner in winter when the cold winds blow, but here in GA they are present all year. They are aggressive, too, and will see off any similar-sized birds if they think they’re after their food supply.

In some areas of Europe this bird is considered to be the patron saint of brewers and their customers, as Wagtails were attracted to breweries to catch insects which thrived on brewery by-products, and it was also believed that if you fed a Wagtail, it would show the way back home if you were very drunk. Don’t try this here, I can assure you it doesn’t work!

See you next month.
