Hello everyone
For holiday makers the map of Gran
Alacant at the back of our magazine will
help you to find our advertises on the
Urbanisation.
We are often asked by former
advertisers, if they could still have a
delivery of our magazine.
When we deliver our magazines, we
always give priority to the businesses
that advertise with us.
As new advertisers come in, they have
the magazines delivered to them.
We have to do this, otherwise if we
delivered to all new advertisers and all
those that have stopped their advert, we
would have to print more and more and
more magazines every month, putting
up our advert costs.
Readers often contact us to ask if a
business has shut down, when they no
longer see their advert in the
magazine.
Remember that we always have three
special outlets where we top up
during the month so you can always find
a copy.
(EURONICS, PHOENIX, QUICKSAVE)
Have a good month

STILL the BEST ADVERTISING PRICES

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!!!
Hi both,
Name and address supplied .I contacted you last year re:waste not put in bins.
Now, today I witnessed 2 Gypsies get out of a dark grey Ford van
(vehicle number plate supplied) and proceed to tear open all the carefully tied
black sacks and shake out the contents before taking what they were looking for.
Why do we bother?
We have given Loreto the car number. She phoned the police who are starting
to give out warnings to cars/vans rifling through our bins.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi!
First I want to thank you for your very interesting publication.
Lot of the information is really good.
During a long period now, I have been passing the coming market place on the
Avda Escandinavia and to my big surprise I have since some weeks noticed that
mostly all of the new planted palm trees seem to be dead and that very soon
after they have been planted!!
I have never noticed that someone has given the palm any water, and do not
think that these rainy days was planned to be enough – we do not think it will
help!!
It is a very sad situation that tax money is used for a good purpose and then
the result will be totally spoiled.
I hope that Loreto Cascales will be informed by you, so it can be possible to
perhaps save the palms trees - at least some of them.
Best Regards, Nils
Money was donated by someone to have these trees planted and when Loreto saw
the state of them she was very annoyed and phoned the person in charge and it
was explained to her that they had been watered but out here trees very often
flag for a while due to the stress suffered by trees when they have been moved
from their original location and they take time to respond to their new siting.
Always, due to this fact, a few trees very often do not survive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Barry & Sandra
I couldn't believe how bad the weeds were on the streets when we were out in
GA last week. MASA are building again just at the end of our road and creating
more of a concrete jungle without looking after what is already there. Surely
they can be made to finish off the areas with nice trees/planting etc before they
construct more concrete blocks!

Do you know if this is being considered by them or raised as an issue?
The area at the top of the hill could look so well with a little thought & effort,
just like the areas at the bottom of the hill with their mature planting, but it
seems like the will is just not there to get anything nice done with this area
Also the post boxes for our area 3.2f are a disgrace. Again would you know if
there is anything going to be done about them?
Sorry for all the negativity but as I don't live there permanently just yet I only
get to see the issues when we are out on our visits
Could you raise both these issues with the local councillor at your next meeting
Keep up the brilliant work . . you provide a great service with the
GA Advertiser
Best regards Fiona
We showed Loreto the mail, but of course, many of these concerns fall outside
the responsibility of the Town Hall and must be taken up with the residents
President. Fiona has since done this, and the president is looking into the
problems raised.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The subject of the church has been brought up again. The Town Hall have
offered the land and it is now up to the church to come up with the money for
the build.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The association ASVEGA has donated some monies for tree planting. More trees
will be sited at the new market place, the area near the new allotments, and on
the area by the Carabasi bars where the new paving has recently taken place.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet again we had to bring up the subject of the fountain on the roundabout not
working.
Would you belive the pump has exploded and the Town Hall are sourcing a new
pump.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Market. Hopefully by the time you read this, it may be nearly completed.
The firm who were making the gates, phoned the Town Hall and informed them
that they could not now take on the task. So, a new company had to be found
to start again.
Also Iberdrola were not completely happy with the work done, changes and new
paperwork had to be submitted!!!!!!!!!!!
AGAIN we have to say that the Santa Pola market IS NOT being moved to
Gran Alacant.
When!!!!!!!!! the market is complete, discussion will take place about how often
the site will be in use.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have any urgent problem on GA concerning, being robbed, or indeed
need the police immediately, phone 96 541 11 03 which will put you through to
the police station in Santa Pola, where they will contact the police car on
Gran Alacant to get to you quickly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An email below from Jan Wright of M.A.B.S.
MABS Walk for Life on 28th April 2013.
Well what a wet morning, and did it rain? Oh Yes!!! Just as I remember in
5

Lynne from
Lyneli
hairdressers
wins the
costume
of the day.
6
England when I used to arrange events, always worried about being rained off,
but no not here in Spain! This is one event I could not cancel as, being English,
we do turn up in the rain and walk. When we say we will do a Walk for Cancer
we turn up. It did actually stop for half an hour. Thank goodness we were there
sitting under a large ‘sun’ umbrella, I forgot the base so we held it up by piling
rocks around the pole. Amazingly 25 people turned up to walk and support us,
and we cannot thank you all enough for turning up in that weather all dressed
up as well and looking great in Pink. Lynne from Lyneli Hairdressers won the
bottle of Champagne for Best Dressed in Pink. We raised a staggering amount
of 1,250euros which includes donations from people who could not walk and
there is more promised. This is a marvellous result under the circumstances.
Also thanks to Loreto who arranged for the Police to be present, they could not
believe it went ahead. Loreto was well dressed in 3 layers of clothes and
sheltering under a large umbrella. Thank you to all our supporters, and
everyone who helped us to raise so much money and advertise this event, we
are so grateful.
Jan Wright and Angela Knapman.
We at the magazine were back for a few days in the UK whilst this event took
place.
We thank Stefan who was there on our behalf taking photos, his pictures have a

ed border. Those sent to us by MABS have a blue border.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---The bench that we would like to donate in view of our 100th edition, is
being costed and should be sited soon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are still people throwing down loads and loads of garden rubbish around
the bin areas. Prunings etc should be cut up into small pieces and put in a bag
before going into the bin. OR take them to the rufuse tip at the top of the
Urbanisation just before the lighthouse.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Building work is
still happening at a
brisk pace in
different areas of
Gran Alacant.
This picture shows
a part of the large
new development
on the steep
hillside of the road
down to the beach.

Hola,
Contacté con ustedes el año pasado por el tema de los contenedores. Hoy
he visto a dos personas saliendo de un Ford gris con matrícula xxxxx y ví
como procedían a abrir las bolsas de basura y sacar lo que estuviesen
buscando….
Le hemos dado a Loreto el número de matrícula. Ella ha llamado a la policía
que va a vigilar más de cerca a la gente que está husmeando entre nuestra
basura.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hola!
Para empezar me gustaría felicitarles por su revista y les agradezco toda la
información que dan en ella.
Durante un largo período de tiempo me he estado paseando por el nuevo
mercadillo, y para mi sorpresa he visto como las nuevas palmeras y plantas
que han plantado parecen estar muertas.
No he visto a nadie regandolas y aunque ha llovido últimamente, me parece
que no es bastante el agua que han recibido y me da mucha pena ver como
se gastan el dinero de nuestros impuestos en algo que haya durado tan poco.
Espero que Loreto Cascales reciba esta información, a ver si es posible
salvar a alguna de estas palmeras.
Saludos, Nils.
Alguien donó dinero para plantar estas palmeras y cuando Loreto vio el
estado en el que estaban se enfadó mucho. Ha llamado al responsable que
le explicó que sí que han sido regadas pero que a menudo tardan un poco en
recuperarse después del transplante… igualmente parece que lo normal es
que no sobrevivan todas ellas.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hola Barry y Sandra
En mi última visita a Gran Alacant, me sorprendió el estado de mi
urbanización…. MASA está constuyendo de nuevo y está dejando muchos
escombros y está descuidando lo que ya ha construido. Me parece que
8

deberían mejorar esta zona, poniendo algo de plantas y árboles antes de
seguir construyendo. La zona de arriba podría estar mucho más bonita,
como la zona de abajo… pero parece que nunca llegan a hacerlo.
Otra cosa, los buzones del area 3.2f están en pésimo estado. ¿Saben si van
a cambiarlos?
Lo siento por toda mi negatividad pero yo no vivo aquí permanentemente y
sólo puedo ver las disfuncionalidades cuando vengo de vacaciones. ¿Podrían
exponer estos problemas en su próxima reunión?
Seguid con el excelente trabajo en la revista.
Saludos, Fiona.
Le enseñamos a Loreto este email, pero claro, muchos de estos problemas
no tienen relación con el Ayuntamiento, es responsabilidad de la
urbanización en sí. Desde entonces Fiona ha contactado con el Presidente y
él está intentando solucionarlo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
El tema de la iglesia se ha vuelto a comentar. Al parecer el Ayuntamiento les
ha ofrecido el terreno y ahora le toca a la Iglesia recaudar los fondos para
empezar a construir.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La asociación ASVEGA ha donado algo de dinero para plantar más árboles en
el mercadillo, cerca de los huertos y en la zona cercana a los bares de
Carabasi donde se han realizado obras recientemente.
Otra vez tenemos problemas con la fuente en la rotunda…. No funciona. Al
parecer la bomba ha explotado y el Ayuntamiento está buscando otra de
repuesto.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
El mercadillo. Esperamos que para cuando lean esto, ya estará casi
completado. La compañía que iba a hacer las rejas llamó al Ayuntamiento y
les informó que no podían hacer el trabajo. Así que, otra compañía se
encargará de esto.
También Iberdrola ha dado problemas, se están realizando algunos cambios
y algo más de papeleo!!!
Volvemos a decir: el mercadillo de Santa Pola NO se va a mover a Gran
Alacant. Cuando este finalizado, se va a debatir los días que estarán los
puestos.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Si tienen algún problema urgente debido a un robo o atraco, o si necesitan
9

a la policía de inmediato, llamen al 96 541 11 03 y les pasarán con la
policía de Santa Pola y se pondrán en contacto con la patrulla de Gran
Alacant.

Un email de Jan y Angela de MABS:
El 28 de Abril 2013 se hizo la caminata de MABS.
Fue una mañana mojada y lluviosa! Cuando organizaba eventos en Gran
Bretaña siempre me preocupaba que el tiempo nos arruinara el día, pero
aquí en España… nunca! Este fue un evento que no pude cancelar ya que
en Inglaterra, aunque llueva, salimos a pasear, sobre todo si es por una
buena causa. Así que 25 personas llegaron para hacer la caminata, se lo
agradecemos muchísimo, sobre todo fue fenomenal verlos a todos
vestidos de rosa. Lynne de Lyneli Peluquería ganó el premio al mejor
“disfraz”. Se llevó a casa una botella de Champagne. Recaudamos un total
de 1250€ que incluye donaciones de gente que no pudo asistir. Fue un
resultado maravilloso a pesar de las circunstancias. También gracias a
Loreto que organizó la presencia policial. Gracias a todos nuestros
seguidores y a todo el que nos ayudo a recaudar tanto dinero.
Jan Wright & Angela Knapman.
Nosotros estuvimos en Inglaterra durante el evento. Le damos las gracias
a Stefan por sacar las fotos, sus fotos están en esta edición.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Están sacando el coste del banco que queremos donar a Gran Alacant por
nuestra edición 100, debería estar en su sitio pronto.
Vemos como hay mucha gente tirando los restos de su jardín en las
basuras, lo correcto sería reducirlos a paquetes pequeños, embolsarlos y
colocarlos DENTRO de los contenedores. Otra opción es llevarlos al
vertedero especializado que está justo antes del faro.
Tenemos varias fotos de las nuevas construcciones que se están llevando
a cabo en Gran Alacant.

Annual 4-Nations Trophy event
Players from as far afield at El Cid in the North and Mazarron
in the South gathered at Monte Mar to contest the annual
4-Nations Trophy event. Each of the players represented one
of the 4 nations of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The
event was played over the whole day with 96 players in all
being involved. The eventual winners were England and the
Trophy was presented to Sue Cooper, England Team Captain, by Brian Gardiner, Captain of
Wales, who had won the trophy the previous year. The scores were as follows:
England P6, W3, D1, L2, Pts 7, shots +7; Ireland P6, W3, D0, L3, Pts 6, shots -4;
Scotland P6, W2, D1, L3, Pts 5, shots -8; Wales W3, D0, L3, Pts 6, shots +5.
It was a very enjoyable day and the organisers would like to thank all those who took part
and also those who came along to support the event. Thanks also go to the staff at Monte
Mar who coped really well considering the function that was being held in the Restaurant
for ‘Mother’s Day’ at the same time.

A friend once complained to my
sister about the difficulties contained
in child rearing, especially the lack
of peace and quiet rest.
"What you need is a playpen to
separate the kids from yourself," my
sister suggested. So my sister's
friend bought a playpen. A few days
later, my sister called to ask how things were going.
"Superb! I can't believe it," she replied. "I get in the
pen with a good book and the kids don't bother me
one bit!"

A recipe from Sandra’s Cookbook
which you can read online at:- www.sandrascookbook.com
compiled by Sandra Bonathan (not Sandra from this magazine)
This month decided not to do a recipe but to offer a piece on baking in general and the
difficulties encountered here.
Baking in Spain can be a bit of a challenge at first. Getting to grips with a new kitchen, let alone
a new oven can be bad enough, team that with unfamiliar ingredients and it can be a lot to cope
with!
It is worth noting that depending on your electricity supply, the rating of the house (ask someone
who knows about electricity, I only use the stuff) and your oven, that your oven may not be as hot
as the one you are used to. Certainly, when we moved here, I remember we had Barry and Sandra
to dinner. It was later than planned because the roast potatoes took about 2 hours!
That was the end of that oven, it was rapidly replaced.
Regarding baking, flour sold here is not labelled in the same way as in the UK. 'Harina de Trigo'
is simply wheat flour. I find these days that the cheapest reliable one is 45c in Lidl, next to the
eggs. This is suitable for pastry or bread and cake recipes that have a raising agent added. For SR
flour, look for Harina for Bizcocho. The one in Mercadona is fine but it has a lot of raising agent
so in some recipes I use a bit of the plain flour to dull it down a bit.
Salt - watch out. The salt here tends not to be very fine. That's ok on dinner, not so good if it ends
up in crystals in your baking. Make sure to buy a fine one or to dissolve it in the liquid you use in
your recipe.
Butter. If you buy unsalted butter for baking, do not forget to add some salt to your recipe. It is
amazing what a difference it makes if it is left out. Scones are horrible without it. Recipes on my
website stipulate which type to use but if you have to use unsalted when it is not called for,
add 1/2 tsp salt per 250g butter.
Buttermilk - you can put 1 tbsp of lemon juice in a cup and top up with normal milk. Stir and
leave for 5 minutes to thicken.
Sugar - I use the standard white ones. If you want a good substitute for a brown sugar - add
3 tbsp of molasses or treacle to one cup of white sugar and mix well. If you only want light brown
sugar, use only 1 1/2 tbsp of molasses. You can find that in the jam isle of Mercadona, in a glass
jar.
I go through vanilla like others go through vodka. So I make my own by steeping vanilla pods
(from ebay) in vodka from Aldi. Just split the pods and add a load to the bottle.
Leave for at least 6 weeks.
Yeast. I do a lot of bread making, so I buy 250g packs of instant yeast from tiny Morroccan shops
in Crevillente at about €2.50 a time. You can buy fresh yeast in Mercadona next to the butter. One
of those little blocks is enough for 500g of flour and costs around 35c. It is a myth that you have to
activate it. You don't. Just crumble it into the flour and off you go. Don't let it touch the salt
though. Buy fresh yeast as needed, it does not keep well unless you freeze it - which kind of defeats
the object!
Ok, so that's a few words of my limited wisdom. If you have any particular baking problems, I'm
sure Barry and Sandra will be happy to forward them to me and I'll do my best to answer.
Happy Baking
Sandra

of the most dangerous
statements a women can
make to a man. That's

ReBoSy Treatment
New treatment - unknown in U.K. - for lower back pain, headache, migraine, muscular tension, muscular
pain(including Lumbar pain) and many more.
Without knowing it, many of us suffer from instability in the Pelvis which can lead to unequal leg length resulting in a small
deviation (Scoliosis) in the column.
A small deviation in the level of your pelvis - which you may never have noticed - could give you back or neck
problems or even headaches. Because of this you may end up as a patient who has to endure many
different medical treatments.
Using a level measure for ReBoSy (Restoring Body Symmetry) you can see the difference - before and after treatment.
During the treatment you will simply lie on a couch and relax while the doctor carries out the treatment. The treatment
consists of ReBoSy by AA (Restoring Body Symmetry by Advanced Acupuncture) using very fine needles
and infrared light, among other things.
The treatment is painless and lasts for one to two hours and you will be asked your opinion after the treatment.
It is successful in 9 out of 10 cases and your physical problems may disappear immediately after being treated!
We do all kinds of pain treatments and prescriptions. Normal consultation from 30 euro.
The cost for Rebosy ranges from 75 to 160 euro and in most cases it is a once in a lifetime treatment.

WHAT IS NEW IN ALLERGIES DIAGNOSIS?
BREAKING NEWS: POISONED BAITS IN GRAN ALACANT (still to be confirmed)
Last week, a female Yorkshire Terrier died showing the following symptoms: vomiting,
diarrhea, shaking and foaming, and two more Yorkies belonging to the same owner, showed
similar symptoms, but we were able to save their lives. The body of the dog that died was taken
by the Valencian Department of Agriculture in order to necropsy it. The poison expert of the
official lab found in the intestine lumen traces of small black balls that looked like aldicarb, a
powerful insecticide that is commonly (and illegally) used in game preserves for getting rid of
wild foxes, but several chemical tests have already to be done in order to confirm 100% sure if
the black balls are really aldicarb. We will show the results next month.
Published with permission.
…and now for this month article:
WHAT IS NEW IN ALLERGIES DIAGNOSIS?
One of the most common reasons for coming to the Vet practice is “my dog is scratching”. It may
also happen in cats, but less often.
Itching problems in dogs are really difficult to treat, and we know it may be a source of
frustration and “anger” against the Vet.
There are 3 factors which complicate pruritic clinical cases in animals:
-1) It normally takes a long time to have a definitive diagnosis. It may take even weeks
to have the results of some tests, and the results of antiparasitic treatments or hypoallergenic
diets in many cases are not visible until 6-8 weeks after the owner starts with them. During this
time, the dog keeps scratching, and it looks like nothing has been done. Of course, everybody
should understand that it’s practically impossible to stop in 24 hours an itching problem that is
been lasting for months or even years.
-2) Diagnostic tests are expensive, and besides, we cannot know at the beginning of the
process how many of them will be necessary. If the problem is just a flea bite allergy, the
diagnosis is quick, easy and cheap (despite finding the right anti-flea treatment may sometimes
be hard and expensive); but in some other cases it may be really slow and difficult, because we
have to make sure first if there is a hormonal problem (thyroid or adrenal glands), an infectious
problem (bacteria or fungi), etc. After that, some skin biopsies, allergic tests and hypoallergenic
diets may be required.
-3) Sometimes itching cannot be cured definitively. If our dog or cat has an alimentary
allergy an special (and expensive) hypoallergenic diet will be required for life. If the animal has a
sensitivity against flea bite, the anti-flea prevention will have to be very strict all year round. If
the animal is atopic, there are some possibilities of definitive healing by using a desensibilization
therapy (“self vaccine”), if nothing else fails. What we can normally expect from treating a
pruritic patient is to keep the problem under control by using diets, special shampoos and
antiparasitic treatments regularly, but normally, if the owner gives up taking all these measures,
the problem will be back.
Itching problems normally get worse and worse: at the beginning, the animal scratches
about one month a year, normally in spring, but the following year the itching is a bit more
intense and lasts for spring and summer. As time goes by, the animal scratches all year round,
and there are some moments when the itching is even worse.
Nowadays there are some very reliable lab tests available in order to detect the specific
“allergic antibodies”, infections, hormonal problems, etc. There are very effective treatments, too,
but even with all these new tools, treating a pruritic dog keeps being a real challenge for both Vet
and owner.

WHAT’S
THAT?
IN THE
CLOT?
by
Mark Etheridge
I am a recent convert to Blanco y Negro, which for
those of you who haven't tried it yet, is a delicious
ice-cold black coffee with a lump of ice cream in it.
There seem to be as many varieties of it as there are
cafes in Spain, so I haven't yet explored all the
varieties which are on offer, but I intend to do my best
each time I am in Spain.
If you see a blanco y negro bird in Gran Alacant or in
the Clot, is is probably a White Wagtail (confusingly,
not actually white, but grey and white with black bits
on it), there are lots of them about and can easily be
distinguished by – as you might guess – their wagging
tails. They are usually near water, even your local
swimming pool, and very easy to see. I did an article
on this bird a while ago.
We have a different blanco y negro bird in the Clot at
the moment which is well worth looking out for. I had only ever seen one solitary female
bird about five years ago and none since, but this year has seen an influx of these little
black-and-white birds. It is the Pied
Flycatcher (Papamoscas cerrojillo in
Spanish) and it does exactly what it says
on the tin – it is black and white (Pied)
and it catches flies. I have seen them in
trees at the main entrance to the Clot,
around the main pool and also near the
hide which overlooks the marshy area.
My picture shows the very smart male
bird, the female is a much duller , dark
grey on the back with whitish underparts,
but with long white flashes in the wings.
They have the very distinctive habit of
sitting on an exposed perch or railing,
flying out to catch a fly and then
returning to exactly the same spot.
Now make sure the children are out of the room, because this bird has a naughty sex
life. It is not unusual for the male to be a bigamist; once his first female has laid her eggs
he will be off to find a second female, thus being a father to two separate broods, but in
the best soap-opera fashion he is not always the actual father of one of the set of
nestlings and might end up raising someone else's chicks. That's the price you pay for
being fast and loose!
There are quite a few of these birds in the UK, found in old oak woods and they need
searching out, but this year they are right here on your doorstep!
See you next month.
