Hello everyone.
Many more of you are hitting ourwebsite and looking through all of theextra pictures we now post there, aswell as reading our magazine online.
The new fountain gives another nicelooking area to show off to visitors,showing even more improvement onour Urbanisation.We read in the local papers of manyplaces on the Costas that have manyproblems and issues with their TownHalls. We think that we shouldconsider ourselves very fortunate inthe way that Gran Alacant isprogressing.
Last night (20th Feb) was an opennight at Baileys for one of the localforum sites birthday. We were thereand will print pictures in next monthsissue.
Have a good month.Sandra & Barry

of them.

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.
Two firsts on Gran Alacant thismonth. The first being the officialopening of the very first fountain andlandscaped roundabout near to theGran Alacant school. There was a great turn out to seeour Mayor Miquel Zaragoza, accompanied by our Gran AlacantCouncillor, Loreto Cascales, addressthe crowd and unveil the plaque andstart the fountain. Many pictures were taken, some ofwhich are in this edition and the restuploaded for you to see on our web-site at:- www.granalacantadvertiser.com
The second “first”. A scarecrow onthe newly opened allotments. Not
just him, but also a Goose and some
Gnomes. This apart it is nice to seemany of the crops now coming tofruition.
We have been asked from the localforums and from various contacts toput foreward the following questionsto Loreto.
When will all the dead trees be replaced along the road from theCommercial Centre down to the newschool? The Town Hall do have a 2 yearguarantee for replacing these deadtrees which have now been ordered,so we hope to see them replaced

Again, the same road. Why can´tthe council themselves, or the council ask the builders who left theground at the side of the road insuch a mess to do a bit of landscaping and planting........it currently looks like a dumpingground for the builders rubble. Meetings with people concerned tookplace 2 weeks prior to our meeting,to discuss various areas on our Urbanisation that needed attention. In some places the builders hadfenced areas off, but people werebreaking through the fences to lettheir dogs walk in them. They willcontinue to fence in, baracade access roads, and do their best totidy up the land in question.
We asked again why there had beenno action to our petition for a dogwarden. Although this was not giventhe go ahead, Loreto has had discussions with the police about theever increasing problem. A log wasshown to us of the reports back fromthe police, who on Feb 2 and 14-18and 27-31 January, had a blitz,when although they could not catchdogs in the act, they approached numerous owners and told then ofthe local laws concerning the toileting of their dogs. This is thefirst step before starting possibly tohand out stiff fines. Various mainareas of land were targeted duringthese dates and is on going.We expressed yet again, the concernof many Gran Alacant residents tothis continual problem.
What is happening about the newmarket? There is a great deal going on behind the scenes. This project is

being paid for by theV a l e n c i a n
Government. Plans have gone backand forth between them and ourTown Hall to get an agreement to theplans, this has now happened andtenders are now going out for thechoice of companies to carry out theproject. Valencia will see thesequotes and they will decide who willcarry out the work. It is very longwinded, but these processes must alltake place to get to the final outcome.
What is the work going on at the busstop opposite Consum and Lidl? There was a problem with the wall atthe back of the covered area, whichhas now been sorted. Nothing morethan that.
We keep getting the question, whenwill we have a police office restoredon our urbanisation? As we said once before, the policerarely used the old one, but a decision has been made to place amobile unit on the not used taxi rankin front of the council offices, so thatthe police have a base.
Why no fountain on the first roundabout you come to on GranAlacant? This is something the Town Hall arekeen to do but there is a major problem building a fountain here, asone of the major pipeworks neededon Gran Alacant, is positioned underthis roundabout, making the costingvery expensive although there arestill ideas that are being worked on.
There is hope that our sports hall willbe opened in late spring. There cannot be an official opening as it isa rule that no inaugurations can takeplace within 2 months of the
forthcoming elections. The facilitieswill be second to none. You will beable to go to the hall to book any ofthe various facilities. Football, tennisand much more. The children at theGA school will also be able to movetheir out of school activities to thisnew venue.

Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist - (true story)
British scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launchdead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets all
travelling at maximum velocity.The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne
fowl to test the strength of the windshields.American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it onthe Windshields of their new high speed trains.Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the American engineers.When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken hurledout of the barrel, crashed into the shatter proof shield, smashed it tosmithereens, blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer'sback-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin like an arrowshot from abow..The horrified Yanks sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of theexperiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the Britishscientists for suggestions.Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo:
"Defrost chicken."

Para empezar: la apertura oficial de la primera rotondacon una fuente cerca del colegiode Gran Alacant.Vino una gran multitud para vera nuestro Alcalde MiquelZaragoza, acompañado de laConcejal de Gran Alacant,Loreto Cascales para ver descubrir la placa y encender lafuente. Se tomaron muchas fotos, algunas están en esta edición yel resto las podeís ver en nuestra web: www.granalacantadvertiser.com
Luego nos hemos encontradoun espantapájaros en losnuevos huertos. No sólo él,además, un ganso y unos gnomos. Está muy bien vercomo muchos de los cultivosestán dando sus frutos.
Los foros locales nos han pedido que le pasemos las siguientes preguntas a Loreto.
¿Cuándo van a reemplazar losárboles muertos que hay en lacarretera que va del CentroComercial a la escuela?El Ayuntamiento tiene unagarantía de 2 años para reemplazar estos árboles muertos, se han pedido nuevos,así que esperamos verlos muypronto.
Twee primeurs in Gran Alacantdeze maand. De eerste is de officiële opening van de allereerste fontein en aangelegderotonde in de buurt van de GranAlacant school.
Het was een grote eer om onzeburgemeester Miquel Zaragozzate zien,
begeleid door onze Gran Alacantgedeputeerde, Loreto Cascales,en onthullde een plaque aan defontein.
Veel foto's werden genomen,waarvan sommige in deze editieen de rest worden geüpload om tezien op onze website
www.granalacantadvertiser.com
De tweede "eerste". Een vogelverschrikker op de onlangsgeopende tuintjes . Niet alleenhem, maar ook een gans en sommige kabouters.
Dit apart is het leuk om te ziendat veel van de gewassen die nuin bloei komen te staan.
Wij hebben gevraagd via delokale forums en aan diverse contacten om deze vragen aan

Otra vez, la misma carretera.¿Por qué no puede el Ayuntamiento pedir a losobreros que hagan un poco delimpieza y ajardinar los bordesde la carretera? Lo han dejadohecho un desastre, parece unvertido de escombros.Han habido reuniones con laspersonas afectadas, 2 semanasantes de nuestra reunión mensual, para discutir sobrevarias zonas de nuestras urbanizaciones que necesitanatención.Los obreros han vallado ciertaszonas, pero la gente se siguemetiendo para pasear a susperros. Van a continuar cercando, cerrando caminos deacceso y limpiandotodo lo posible las tierras en cuestión.
Hemos preguntado otra vez,por qué no han tomado accióncon nuestra petición de un controlador de perros. Loretoha estado discutiendo con lapolicía sobre el problema. Noshan enseñado un registro de lapolicía, quienes el 14-18, 27-31de enero y 2 de febrero estuvieron en plena operación.No pudieron pillar a los perrosen acción; se aproximaron a losdueños para comentarles lasleyes locales con respecto a losperros. Este es el primer pasoantes de empezar a repartirmultas.

Little Thomas is about 9 weeks oldand has had his 1st set of vaccinations. He was found in the engine compartment of a car, luckilyhis cries were heard before the engine was started. Thomas is veryplayful and loves a cuddle
This emaciated Cocker Spaniel cross has Leishmania and Erlichia.He also has chronic anaemia. Blood tests also revealed that hisliver and kidneys are in and so we have started his treatment. Despite feeling very ill and weak his tail always wags when he iswith people, he is approx 18 months. We took him to meet volunteers and customers at the K9 charity shop and he became aninstant star and won everybody's heart. Can you sponsor him tohelp pay towards his expensive treatment? Please call Brenda on966 796 436.

respecto a este problema.
¿Qué está pasando con elnuevo mercadillo?Ya se está en marcha con el papeleo. Este proyecto estásiendo pagado por el Gobiernode Valencia. Los planes han estado yendo y viniendo entreGobierno y el Ayuntamiento,para llegar a un acuerdo. Ahoraque se ha llegado a un acuerdo,están entrando las propuestasde las diferentes compañíaspara llevar a cabo el trabajo.Valencia decidirá quién llevaráel proyecto, todo con muchopalabrerío. Estos largos procesos son necesarios parallegar al resultado final.
¿Cuáles son las obras que seestá llevando a cabo en laparada de autobuses enfrentedel Lidl?Hubo un problema con el muro,el cual ya está arreglado. Nadamás que eso.
Nos siguen preguntando,¿cuándo habrá una comisaríaen nuestras urbanizaciones?Como hemos dicho anteriormente, la policía raramente usaba la comisaría,pero se ha decidido poner unaunidad móvil cerca de la paradade taxis, enfrente del Ayuntamiento, así tendrán unabase fija.
¿Por qué no han puesto lafuente en la rotonda de la entrada a Gran Alacant?Esto es algo que el Ayuntamiento quiere hacer,pero hay un gran problema ya
Dit is de eerste stap voordat eventueelboetes uitgeschreven worden.
Wat gebeurt er met de nieuwe markt?
Er is veel gaande achter de schermen.Dit project wordt betaald door de Valenciaanse Regering.
Plannen zijn gegaan heen en weertussen hen en ons stad huis, dit nu isgebeurd en de inschrijvingen zijn nuuitgaan voor de keuze van de bedrijven die het project gaan uitvoeren.
Het is van zeer lange adem, maardeze processen moeten alle plaats vinden om het te krijgen tot het finaleresultaat.
Wat was het probleem bij de bus haltetegenover Consum en Lidl?
Er was een probleem met de muur aande achterkant van de overdekteruimte, dit is nu aangepast
Niets meer dan dat.
Wij stellen steeds de vraag: wanneerzullen we een politie dienst op onzeverstedelijking hebben?
Zoals we al zeiden vóórdien, dat politie zelden gebruik maaktvan deoude, maar er is een besluit genomenom een mobiele unit op de niet gebruikte taxi standplaats te plaatsen,zodat de politie aldaar eenbasis heeft.
Waarom geen fontein op de eerste rotonde als u Gran Alacant binnen

que una de las tuberías principales de Gran Alacant estáposicionada justo debajo deesta rotonda, haciendo que loscostes sean mucho más altos.Están trabajando en otras ideaspara esta rotonda.
Hay aún esperanza para quenuestro polideportivo seaabierto a principios de primavera. No va ha haber unaapertura oficial ya que es leyque no pueden hacer inauguraciones 2 meses antesde las elecciones. Las instalaciones serán de lo mejor.Podrás inscribirte paracualquiera de las actividades:football, tenis y muchas más.Los niños de la escuela de GApodrán usar el polideportivopara sus actividades extraescolares.
La gran maratón de Santa Polatomó lugar a finales de enero (1 día antes de ir a imprenta).Incluimos las fotos en este mes,nos las han enviado del Ayuntamiento.

Dit is een probleem omdat er daargeen pijplijdingen met water liggen ,dit zou een te duur projekt worden ,maar het stadshuis houdt het ingedachten.
Er is hoop dat onze sporthal zal worden geopend in de late lente.
Er is een wet die zegt dat er geenopenings cermonie kaan plaats vinden ,2 maanden voor of na de dekomende verkiezingen. De kinderenop de school GA kunnen ook om hunschool activiteiten uit naar dezenieuwe locatie.
De massale Santa Pola marathonvond plaats eind januari, 1 dag voordat we gingen drukken. Wij omvatten foto's deze maand die vriendelijk waren
geleverd aan ons door het stad huis.

I am also running in memory of my partner Alan, who died of cancer in October 2008, and also my Father and Brother. I have already recievedgenerous sponsorship from friends and clients in Spain and the Uk, and I am hoping to raise in excess of £3,000, therefore, I would really appreciate it if I couldmake your readers aware of my challenge, and ask those who may like tosponsor me to use the following website, or contact me directly to sponsor me viathe more traditional paper formathttp;uk.virginmoneygiving.com/alymoody
if anyone would like more information they can look on the Clic Sargent website,speak to me on 606690706, or email me at [email protected] also intend to hold a coffee morning/table top sale at my home on Friday 1st April, from 11 am till 1 pm, in order to raise more funds, I saw Loreto who is happy with the date 10th April using the same route as lastyear for our “Walk for Life” on Gran Alacant..

WHAT’S THAT INTHE CLOT?
by Mark Etheridge
There was a chap on the telly a whileago thundering on that unless westop driving cars and bookingRyanair flights, we are all doomed. Ifwe believe these so-called experts,in a few years time we will all beroasting in January and carbonisedcome summer on the Costa Blanca.Oh how we laughed at that back inthe UK in December as we dug ourcars out of the snowdrifts.The doomsayers wail that wildlife willgo to pot, with strange species appearing here there and every-where they shouldn’t be (anyoneseen a giraffe in the Clot recently?),as if wildlife populations neverchange unless affected by climatechange windbags.Of course bird and animal populations can change without anyhuman intervention, and to illustratethis, here’s one bird which you cansee in the Clot very easily, the Collared Dove. Now if you couldclimb into your Tardis and travelback 60 years or so, you wouldn’tsee a single Collared Dove eitherhere, or in Britain, or in-deed anywhere in main-land Europe. They wereAsiatic birds, mostly inIndia and thereabouts,but then somethingchanged. We don’t knowwhy – climate changehadn’t been invented,mad scientists weren’tfiddling with DNA andthere weren’t enoughnuclear tests going on togive us all two heads –but suddenly the world’spopulation of CollaredDoves underwent a dramatic increase andthey began to spreadinto Europe with startling speed.The first recorded nesting birds in Britainwere in 1955; theycaused considerable excitement at the timebut now hardly anyonegives them a second
glance as they are so common. It’sa similar situation in Spain, wherethey first arrived in 1974, and nowthere are up to 50,000 pairs in thecountry with their slightly irritating“coo-COO-coo” call which can beheard just about everywhere. TheSpanish call them Tórtola Turca, orTurkish Dove as they had a footholdin Turkey just before the time oftheir great expansion westwards.The closely-related Turtle Dove,which is a browner bird and whichonly lives here in the summermonths, is the only possible confusion species, but they are morenervous birds and only seen with difficulty, which is probably due tothe fact that they have been on thewrong end of hunter’s gun sights formany years as a food resource; theCollared Dove has yet to appear in apiquant sauce at your local restaurant.The chap in my photograph is neither landing nor taking off – he’seither having a stretch of his wings,or auditioning for an underarm deodorant advert.
See you next month.
