Hello everyone Well, that’s it, Barry has hit 65 years of age, and retirement SHOULD loom.....but.....if nobody wants to buy our magazine business from us, we will continue with it, throughout our retirement.

Another milestone. Our 14 year old car that we are always about in, has come to the end of its life and has been taken to the scrap yard. So dont wonder why you have not seen us around in it.

It was very sad to hear of the death of a very nice gentleman, Charlie Bevan, we only knew him through having a chat in the Monte Mar cafeteria, but, it was very nice just listening to his stories.

Due to demand we have upped our print run from this Easter edition.

Over the Easter period watch out for the 2nd Big Party on Gran Alacant, it is to be held near the school on the 5th to the 8th of April, see the advert on page 24. Go along for a great time.

A Happy Easter to all.

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!!!

We spoke last month of how our Town Hall is promoting tourism around Europe.

Tourism in Santa Pola was shown during March at the "Le Mondial

duTourisme" held in Paris, one of the most important holiday events in Europe.

France is one of the main sources of visitors to Santa Pola and the Department of Tourism has not wanted to miss the opportunity to further promote our town.

Since Santa Pola decided to participate in the fair in Paris, the numbers of French tourists visiting the town have been increasing year after year. According to statistics from the local tourist offices, in 2011 there were 1,499 visits by French citizens, which represents 18.85% of total international visitors, surpassing the records of 2010, with 1,444 views and 17, 60% total.

Nice to see a “pet´s corner� at the GA commercial centre during early

4

March. Lovely for the kids.

On the N332 from GA to Santa Pola you may have noticed the big high mound of what looks like grass, behind the Iberdrola works and to the side of the Sewerage Works.

This is all of the seaweed (seagrass) taken from our local beaches. It has been piled there as it is so expensive to have it taken away. The Town Hall now has an industry in Santa Pola that can re-use this, so they can get it slowly taken away for no cost.

The start of work for the new market area, is waiting for the representatives from Valencia to make a date, to visit the area, to officially start the works there, combining it with other work starting in Santa Pola.

We have pictures in this issue of the second Gran Alacant Boxing event.

We also have pictures of the inauguration of works on Av. Mediterraneo up the hill by the post office. One side of the road is due for completion before Easter. After Easter they will carry on with the other side of the road. There will be a better stop point for the buses,

with a proper pull in and seating for passengers waiting for the bus.

Various events are planned for Easter at the Commercial Centre, (amongst others events there, there will be a medieval market) At the Life Resort, Santa Pola handicapped group are arranging a market and you will see information in this issue, concerning the Fiesta near the school.

The Town Hall are in discussion with all of these areas on Gran Alacant, to see if they can all link together in the interests of the whole urbanisation.

An email to us from Bill I get very annoyed seeing the ever increasing rubbish & rubble being dumped on the spare land opposite our home off Calle Chipre. I have just come back from walking our dog when I saw a silver 4x4 pull onto the land opposite us & he dumped his building rubble, looks like tiles etc that has been removed from a wall.

I shot over & asked the Spanish guy as best I could not to dump it where he was dumping it & to take it away, but he just ignored me, dumped the rubbish & drove off. It didn't seem to bother him that I took his registration number. (We have not published the registration number).

I told him I would report him. I would recognize him again no problem. Just wish I had had my camera with me. Any how to the question, how can I report this Loreto? (We have Loreto full details) I don't have any contact details. I understand they will be reluctant to take it any further action without photographic evidence, but I think even a visit from the police to warn

6

him would go a long way to stopping these people dumping rubbish illegally. Any help will be great.

Unfortunately this dumping has been going on for years & it never seems to get removed which encourages the dumpers to carry on dumping. I think maybe sometime it would be a good idea for the counselors & police to meet up with people like myself who can take them around & show them where these people tend to favour dumping their rubbish. As usual things are only noticed or tidied up along by the main roads. It always seems odd to me too why the council refuse to put up signs to discourage dumping, but yes they would be probably ignored & it costs money.

If I do take any photos, if I am lucky enough to catch someone whilst I have my camera, I will firstly take note of their size & age & depending on that I will be cautious about who sees me lol. many thanks Bill An email to us from Graham I have a Maltese dog, I take her out every night. Sometimes I walk round Life Resort which is one of the worst areas for dog fouling, I always take paper with me to pick up the mess from my pooch, I notice people round that area never carry the necessary things for picking up their dogs mess. I think people with dogs need to be randomly checked to see what provision they have taken to pick up their dogs mess. If they don't carry anything warders should take their names and caught twice should be summons.

Also the proposed market is a dog mess dumping ground. There was a notice

7

many years ago about leaving dog mess there but that was taken down.

When the new market is up and running on this area are we still going to tread in this stuff from owners who could not care less. I think there's going to be a big problem there.

Another thing people don't realize is those that live facing this field get the smell in summer off it.

Regards Graham.

An email to us from Alison We live on Monte y Mar lower on Calle Noruega. My son would like to be able to walk to school on his own but I am nervous about him crossing the road, Av Noruega. In theory he could cross at the zebra at the bottom of Max Coop hill but it is so close to the island that drivers coming from Carabassi end are on it before they realise. Could it be moved to a safer position where kids can see and be seen by cars before they commit to crossing?

It is not the only one so close to a junction and I don't understand why they are placed like this.

The above emails have been read by Loreto and the Town Hall are now being very diligent with these issues.

The plain clothes offices designated to the dog problem have to date, fined more than 20 people and issued warnings to many more.

The area where the rubble is being dumped is actually Masa´s land, the Town Hall does tidy it and have asked Masa to also clear the rubble.

If you can get a photo of offending people without putting yourself in

8

danger please do so, then Loreto can do more about it.

The new Tourist Information Office, (pictured above) is now open to the public and located on the ground floor of the Town Hall, facing the Levante beach eliminating architectural barriers and replaces the old Shipyards Street office.

Loreto Serrano, Councillor for Tourism, has indicated that "we are very pleased to have one of the best offices of the Costa Blanca with its seafront location. Funding from the Plan Trust, has made this a reality.

The Tourism Area team, led by Loreto Serrano, consists of Mari Carmen Martinez as head of the Bureau, the technique Ana Bermejo, Argentina Bonmatí, manager of the Competitiveness Plan and Carral Ana, Estela José Manuel Blasco Bonmatí and as informants.

The garden rubbish problem. We mentioned last month that you can take garden cuttings to the Eco Park at Santa Pola. Take the N332 to Santa Pola, and drive past the Towns entrance opposite the Marina Palace Hotel. Take the slip road to the right to Elche. Turn right at the roundabout, pass the camp site and go over the next roundabout. Take the second red paved entrance on your right. This takes you to the entrance to the Industrial site. At the main junction turn right. The site is

Hablamos el mes pasado de cómo nuestro Ayuntamiento está promoviendo el turismo por toda Europa. La oferta turística de Santa Pola fue mostrada en marzo en la feria “Le Mondial du Tourisme” de París, uno de los eventos turísticos más importantes de Europa.

Francia es una de las principales fuentes visitantes que visitan Santa Pola y el Departamento de Turismo no ha querido perder la oportunidad de promover nuestra ciudad.

Desde que Santa Pola decidió participar en la feria de París, el número de turistas franceses que visitan la ciudad ha ido en aumento año tras año. Según las estadísticas de las oficinas de turismo locales, en el año 2011 se registraron 1.499 visitas de ciudadanos franceses, lo que representa un 18.85% del total de visitantes internacionales, superando los registros del 2010 con 1.444 visitas (un 17,60%).

A principios de marzo, en el Centro Comercial GA pudimos ver algunos animales de granja, los que más lo han disfrutado han sido los niños.

En la N-332 de Gran Alacant a Santa Pola puede que hayan visto detrás de las obras de Iberdrola y al lado de las obras de alcantarillado, una gran montón de algo que parece hierba. En realidad son las algas que se han recogido de nuestras playas. Se han acumulado allí ya que es muy caro trasladarlas. El Ayuntamiento de Santa Pola ha empezado una industria que puede reutilizarlas y de esta manera limpiar la zona sin coste alguno.

Las obras para la zona del nuevo mercadillo: están a la espera de concertar una fecha en la que los representantes de Valencia puedan venir y aprobar el inicio de obras de Gran Alacant y otras en Santa Pola.

Tenemos fotos en este número del segundo evento de boxeo de Gran Alacant También tenemos fotos de las obras

iniciadas que van a lo largo de la Av. Mediterráneo y cerca de Correos. Un lado de la calle estará listo para antes de Semana Santa. Después van a continuar con el otro lado de la calle. Habrá una mejora en las paradas de autobuses con una zona de estacionamiento adecuada y asientos para los pasajeros que esperan el autobús.

En el Centro Comercial hay varios eventos previstos para la Semana Santa, entre otros habrá un mercado medieval.

En el Life Resort, una asociación de discapacitados está preparando un mercadillo y además habrá una fiesta en el colegio (hay más información en este número).

El Ayuntamiento ha estado hablando con los representantes de las diferentes zonas de Gran Alacant para ver si todos pueden unirse para el interés común de nuestro pueblo.

Hemos recibido un email de Bill: “Yo vivo en calle Chipre y enfrente de nuestra casa hay un descampado donde vierten basura, yo me enfado siempre que veo ese montón de basura que va aumentando cada vez más y más. Yo volvía de pasear al perro cuando apareció una 4x4 plateada, aparcó y tiró un montón de escombros y restos de obras. Yo me acerqué y le dije como pude en español que por favor no vertiera allí la basura y que se lo llevara todo, pero el me ignoró y se fue. No pareció molestarle lo más mínimo que yo le tomara el número de la placa del coche y le dije que le denunciaría. Yo lo reconocería sin problema, sólo deseo haberme llevado la cámara y haberle sacado unas fotos. ¿Cómo puedo pasar esta información a Loreto? No tengo ningún teléfono o email de contacto. Yo entiendo que se muestren reacios al tema ya que no tengo ninguna prueba fotográfica pero creo que si este señor recibe una visita de la policía (aunque sólo sea para advertirlo) estaría muy bien y esta gente se lo pensaría dos veces antes de verter basura de forma ilegal. Os agradecería cualquier tipo de

ayuda.”

Desafortunadamente la gente ha estado vertiendo basura y escombros durante años y parece que nunca lo retiran lo cual anima a la gente a seguir haciendolo. Yo creo que sería una buena idea que los concejales y la policía vinieran un día con alguien como yo quién los puede llevar a los diferentes sitios donde esto ocurre. Lo normal es que retiren los escombros de las zonas visibles y cerca de las carreteras principales. Siempre me ha parecido raro que el Ayuntamiento no quiere poner carteles para desalentarlos, pero seguramente serían ignorados y cuesta dinero.

Si saco algunas fotos de estas zonas y tengo la suerte de encontrarme con alguien vertiendo basura primero tomaré nota de su tamaño y edad y dependiendo de eso tendré cuidado a la hora de sacarle una foto! Bill, muchas gracias por tu email.

Un email de Graham: “Tengo un perra, la saco a pasear todas las noches. A veces paseo por el Life Resort que es una de las peores zonas (por los excrementos). Yo siempre llevo papel y bolsas para recoger los excrementos de mi perra pero veo que las personas de esa zona nunca llevan las cosas necesarias para hacer lo mismo. Yo creo que la gente con perros necesita que les revisen al azar para ver si llevan encima lo necesario para recoger los excrementos de sus perros.

Si no llevan nada encima los controladores deberían tomar nota y si vuelve a pasar que los multen. También querría comentar sobre la zona donde van a construir el mercadillo nuevo: es un basurero de excrementos. Hace tiempo pusieron un cartel pero lo han quitado.

Cuando el mercado esté listo vamos a tener los mismos problemas ya que hay mucha gente que no recoge los excrementos porque les da igual. Yo creo que no se dan cuenta de que además de ser horrible a la vista, en verano huele fatal.

Saludos cordiales, Graham.”

Un email que nos envía Alison: “Vivimos en la urb. Monte y Mar cerca de c/Noruega. A mi hijo le gustaría ir caminando al colegio sólo. En teoría el podría cruzar en la rotonda de la fuente pero el paso de peatones está tan cerca de la rotonda que los conductores que vienen desde Carabassi no pueden ver los peatones hasta que ya están encima.

¿Se podría mover el paso a una posición más segura para los niños, para que ellos puedan ver bien antes de cruzar y los coches a ellos? No es el único paso de cebra que está pegado a un cruce, no entiendo porque los ponen así.

Loreto ha leído todos estos los correos electrónicos y el Ayuntamiento está siendo muy diligente con estos temas.

Los policías de civil designados a tratar los problemas con los perros ya han multado a más de 20 personas y han advertido a muchas más.

El área donde se vierten los escombros es en realidad propiedad de Masa y el Ayuntamiento lo ha limpiado y le ha pedido a Masa que limpie también. Si pueden sacar fotos de personas depositando basura (sin ponerse en peligro) por favor háganlo, entonces Loreto podrá hacer más para solucionarlo.

La nueva oficina de Turismo está abierta al público y está situada en la planta baja del Ayuntamiento, frente a la playa de Levante eliminando barreras arquitectónicas y sustituyendo la vieja oficina de astilleros.

Loreto Serrano, Concejala de Turismo ha indicado que “estamos muy contentos de tener una de las mejores oficinas de la Costa Blanca con su ubicación frente al mar. La financiación Plan Confianza ha hecho esto realidad. El equipo del Área de Turismo, dirigido por Loreto Serrano consta de Mari Carmen Martínez como jeja del departamento, la técnica Ana Bermejo, la directora del Plan de Competitividad Argentina Bonmatí y Ana Carral, Estela José Manuel Blasco Bonmatí como informantes.

El problema de los residuos del jardín. Ya mencionamos el mes pasado que se pueden llevar los residuos al Eco Parque de Santa Pola, hay que ir por la N-332 hacia Santa Pola y en la segunda entrada al pueblo tomar dirección Elche en la rotonda, pasar el camping e ir a la segunda rotonda, en esta rotonda hay que coger la segunda entrada pavimentada en rojo a la derecha. Este camino llevará a la entrada principal de la zona Industrial. En el cruce ir a la derecha, el sitio está abierto y tiene muchos contenedores para la basura.

Más noticias el mes que viene.

Si tiene alguna pregunta que quiere que le pasemos a Loreto puede enviarnos un email.

Chris got into his car one morning and photographed this on the windscreen!!!!!!!!!!

A buddy of mine works in an office where a computer going down causes quite an inconvenience. Recently, one of the computers not only crashed, it made a noise that sounded like a heart monitor.

"This computer has flat-lined!" a co-worker called out with mock horror. "Does anyone here know how to do mouse-to-mouse?"

All of the winners at the

Monte Mar Bowls Club Gran Alacant

Some very sad news just before going to press...

One of our longest serving bowling members, Charlie Beaven, collapsed and died during a club social event last Tuesday evening. Charlie always thought of the Bowling Club as his second home and attended every day either to play in or watch games.

During this last Winter he had won the club President始s Cup where members gain one point for attending and two extra points for a win.

Charlie had attended every one of the 20 weeks of the competition, some weeks just to get the one point even though the weather made it impossible to play. Being such a regular in and around the club Charlie will be sadly missed.

MONTEMAR BOWLS AND SOCIAL CLUB (Sponsored by Super Valu) SABA Discovery League Monday 12th March 2012

The Matadors were at home to Greenlands Chestnuts and a very close match it was, both sides wining two and drawing two. However we did manage to get the most shots.

Well played Chris Harding, Wendy Oxley & Ted Hyman and Pauline Woodfine, Sheila Roberts & Barry Woodfine.

Shots for 123 Against 91 Points for 8 Against 6

Voyager League (C) Monday 12th March 2012

The Novilleros visited La Siesta for the last game of the season. We each won three rinks and so the points were sharebut we edged the overall shots. The result consolidated our position as league winners but it was a fair result for the home team. Thanks to all the players in the Novilleros Squad for their efforts during the season.

Shots for 110 Against 103 Points for 8 Against 6

Winter League Wednesday 14th March 2012

Against Javea Green the Montemar could only manage to win on one rink.

Well played Sheila Roberts, John Harding and Dave Melville.

Shots for 44 Against 70 Points for 2 Against 8

Southern League Division A Friday 16th March 2012

The Matadors were really up against it today playing away at El Rancho. With their extremely fast and wide swinging greens most of the Montemar players struggled to get a decent score or even score at all.

We did however manage to win on 2 rinks and draw on 1 rink, so considering the difficulties this was a very decent away result.

Well done to our winning teams skippered by Harry Dobson, Joe Ridley and Colin Armitage Shots for 88 Against 128 Points for 5 Against 9

Bernard Pearce Memorial Trophy.

This year the trophy was won by The team skippered by Chris Merry.

Hi to everybody, In this month there are plenty of celebrations and parades everywhere, wherever you go from 1st to 8th of April you can attend to Holy Week processions. Sunday the 1st 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 canʼt 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 6th.

In the Fortress-Castle there from 4th to 9th 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.

Thatʼs all for now friends.

A recipe from

Sandra’s Cookbook

which you can read online at:- www.sandrascookbook.com compiled by Sandra Bonathan (not Sandra from this magazine)

Bread Rolls Baked from a Cold Oven Start

Sometimes, we are in a hurry or perhaps we have two trays of rolls to bake and know that while one bakes the other will be over proofed. This can happen, particularly in summer when the kitchen can get a bit warmer than usual. (Certainly mine does!)

My oven is about 4 yrs old and takes about 10 minutes normally to get to about 200c (390F) or so.

If your oven is similar in that timing, try these out.

So, what happens if you put rolls in a cold oven and switch it on? - You get good, fluffy, lovely rolls.

Just don't forget to slash the tops (like I did) unless you want them to split au natural!

Dough

Ingredients

*568 ml warm water (comfortably warm to touch) *4 tbsp oil (you could use a flavoured one) *1 tsp vinegar (if you want to use an improver, this does the job) optional *1 tbsp salt (17-18g) *1 tbsp sugar1 kg Strong (bread) flour *2 tbsp instant yeast

egg wash to finish

*1 beaten egg *2 tbsp water or milk

Method

1. Put ingredients in your bowl in the order listed. If using a stand mixer, knead on speed 1 for 3 min, speed 2 for 3 min or according to machine instructions. If kneading by hand, about 10 minutes, until the dough is soft and elastic.

2. Remove the dough hook if using and cover the bowl with a plate or cling film.

3. Allow the dough to rest until doubled in size. This can take an hour or two in a cold room (you need to wear at least one sweater!) or as little as 20 minutes in a very warm one (even a T shirt is too much!)

4. Lightly flour your surface and turn out the dough. It will be full of air.

5. Use a knife or a bench knife to divide the dough into pieces. This will make 16 large rolls.

6. The easy way is to divide in half, again and again until you hit that number.

7. To shape the rolls, take a piece of dough and gently bring the outside to the middle, rotating as you do so. You will end up with something like a mushroom cap.

8. Turn it over and with both hands cup it, making it nice and neat.

9. Place on greased baking trays and cover with greased film.

10. Allow to puff up just a little, then brush with egg wash if using.

11. Use a sharp knife (serrated is fine) to slash the tops.

12. Mist with water from a spray bottle.

13. Put rolls into a COLD oven and turn on to 225-230c (435-445F).

I did not use the fan setting.

14. Bake until nice and brown, mine take around 18 minutes.

15. If you have another tray of the rolls, they can go into the hot oven and will take about 15 minutes to bake.

Yet more money being spent for The Regional Secretary for Infrastructure and Transport, Sanchez-BarcĂĄiztegui Vitoriano, was present at the ceremony with our Mayor Miquel Zaragoza, and other Town Hall dignateries, to inaugurate more improvements on Gran Alacant.

Between Av Mediterraneao and Scandinavia Av Escandinavia and down to the sea with connections with confluent crossings, will see the removal of old pavements and also pedestrian spaces in Albacete Avenue, Great Beach, between the stretch of the avenue and street BascuĂąana Bishop Sax and Ocean Street, giving better access.

Nearly 1/4 million euro has been provided by central government for the work.

Our Town Hall were asked where they thought the money would be best spent, and this project was born.

This is one of the oldest streets on Gran Alacant and was in desperate need of renovation.

There will be a series of new pavements, roadways, benches, trees and will generally provide a much better area for us all.

56

us all to enjoy on Gran Alacant.
