Ta' Nette u Ta' Peppije

Dan l-aħħar erġajt tgħajt titwila l-ktieb ta' Albert W. Agius 'Qwiel, Idjomi, Laqmijiet Maltin u trufijiet ohra'

Tinteressani l-parti dwar il-laqmijiet....laqmijiet tal-bliet u rħula, tal-Bened u oħrajn. Li għandu nieqes huwa l-biżibilju ta' laqmijiet tal-familji li nsibu fl-ibliet u l-irħula tagħna.

Ilha tberren f'moħħi kif ċertu laqmijiet anke fir-raħal tiegħi jistgħu anke jispiċċaw maż-żmien, jew għax nies dik il-familja jkunu mietu jew għax il-ftit qraba li jkun fadal minn dik il-familja jkunu telqu mir-raħal jew siefru u allura l-laqam tagħhom ma jibqax jintuża.

Aktar u aktar tinteressani kif ċertu laqmijiet huma marbuta ma' ċertu familji. Uħud mill-ismijiet tal-laqmijiet issibhom komuni f'diversi lokalitajiet u mhux neċessarjament dawn il-familji jkunu qraba ma' xulxin.

Ħsibt li ndur dawra mar-raħal tiegħi (l-Għarb) u nniżżel xi laqmijiet li naf. Min jaf kemm hemm aktar li ma nafx! Nibda minn tiegħi (ħalli ħadd ma jgħid xejn);

L-aktar laqam komuni tiegħi huwa Ta' Nette, dan għax ommi kien jisimha Maria-Netta (Marjetta) iżda kulhadd kien jgħajtilha Nette....allura jien spiċċajt Victor ta' Nette. Ommi ilha mejta mill-1987 u allura peress li għadda iż-żmien u missieri kien għadu ħaj, aktar bdew isibuni Ta' Peppije. Dan minħabba li lill-missieri kienu jsejħulu Peppija li ġejja mill-kelma Peppi (Joseph). Allura lili jsibuni jew Victor Ta' Nette jew Victor ta' Peppija.

Is this what the people of Gharb voted for?

Gozopolitan.org is exposing ECO GOZO, the dumping with pictures showing construction waste scattered all over the site, limits of Gharb. One of the photos, which was passed on to the Mayor of Gharb (Mr David Apap Agius), but asked them to remove the photos immediatly, featured a lone construction truck stuck in the area after appearing to sustain a puncture on the rugged land. Officially, no illegal dumping is made in Gharb. Here is the proof!!!

What really is taking place at Wied il-Mielah?

After the Gharb Local Council spent 200,000 euros during the first phase of the 'environmental project' at Wied Il-Mielah thanks to the help of Structural Funds for Malta (2004 – 2006), the Council has again been granted aid for its second phase of this. This time the aid provided is approximately €570,000 under the Cohesion Fund (2007-2013). This project is co-financed by the Parliamentary Secretariat for Public Dialogue and Information and the Gharb Local Council.

I am not going to ask into whose pockets these money are going.

However, did or is anybody monitoring what is really taking place here? I doubt it or else somebody is keeping a closed eye (no surprises in this republic).

The photos of some works taking palce here speaks volumes. Why do one need to destroy the natural rock formations in order to be replaced by 'unprofessionally done rubble walls?

In this photo to your left you can see how the natural rocks are being dug out and with the same stones, somebody tried to make a rubble wall instead. If this is not a waste of money what is then?

Can you spot the difference?

Why is the raw seawage overflow still in motion even though the valley and discharged into the sea without being treated whatsoever?

Look at the raw sewage running along this picturesque valley. Thank god you believe in that you can't smell it while reading. Does the Gharb council really treat this place as a gem?

The EU Commission is aware of delays in meeting the requirements to ractify the situation. It is hoped that the Commission will scrutinise the implementation of environmental legislation as regards this matter and I hope that you and I will not be fined if the Commission will start a legal infringment procedures including application to the European Court of Justice.



Malta has an obligation to have ALL watsewater treated before discharge into the sea by March 2007 and hence my (and your) government is infringing the Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive.

Please wake up.

Can Gozitans tolerate even more deaths due to lack of health services?

Unfortunately, tragic events also take place in Gozo, where patients need to be rapidly transferred directly to Mater Dei by emergency helicopter.

But since the Gozo General Hospital does not host such a helicopter service, patients in Gozo have to wait for the helicopter to arrive from Malta before transfer to Mater Dei for medical treatment unavailable in Gozo. This takes time, in circumstances, where seconds can make the difference between life and death.

It is unacceptable that all the health services helicopters are stationed in the island of Malta when they are also needed in Gozo. If at least one helicopter were stationed in Gozo, it could just as easily take off from Gozo to meet medical needs in Malta within the same time frame, if not faster.

But we seem to be a tolerant community... we even tolerate deaths due lack of such services and people seem to continue to accept the things the way they are. Fear of change and of the unknown has enslaved us to even this extreme extent.

Xi xhowr iliw Miriam Cassar il-fundatriċej ta' l-NGO VersAgħtini kellmitnej li xteqit turganizza Festival tad-Djalettej ieħur f'Għawdix.


Is-sena l-oħra kien sor l-ewwel darba fil-Munxor. Kint murt u ħodt pjaċujr (ura hawn). Anki kint ktibt xi ħaġe haw fil-blogg (ura hawn).



Din is-sena sor fil-Mużew tal-Fulklur f'raħal twelidej stess.

Minkejje li ġew ħafne nes minn irħule oħra u ġew nes appusta minn Multa biex jisimgħew d-djeletti, ma kenx fuċluj li n-nes ta' l-Għarb jiġiw u jitkellmu bid-djelett tagħne.

X'ħin waslut Miriam Cassar u Ġużi Gatt il-Ħadd fil-għudow kmienej (6 ta' Settembru 2009), bdejne bil-ħidme. Gużi qagħad jirranġa l-bitħa tal-Mużew tal-Fulklur bis-siġġijet fejn kellhe ssejr l-attivito. Jen u Miriam Cassar durna xi 4 darbet ma' l-Għarb biex inħajjrow xi erba minn nes jiġiw.

Kemm hawn min jistħi kos!

L-isbaħ waħda kienit mite mara mir-raħal xi ftit akbar minnej qeltilna "Leq ħuj ma niġejx! Mene jen xiħe? Murrow sibiw xi waħde xiħe"....voldieri dejn (li hej stess titkellem bid-djelett), deħlithe f'rusha li d-djelett huwa xa ħaġe tax-xjiwħ biss!

Mele fid-djor kille kemm aħne xjiwħ għax ħadd minne ma jitħaddit bil-Multuj standard ħlef fl-iskula għax bil-furs.

Kulħadd bid-djalett ta' raħliw jitħaddit.

Imme mitt bniedim mitt fehme.

Sa x'ħejn surow il-ħdox, il-bitħa tal-Mużew tal-Fulklur imtlet bin-nes. Anzuj ken hemm wusgħa għal xi erba nes mill-Għarb għax minbarra jen, Savio u Miriam, ġew Viturja, Lilej tan-Nagħġe, Mikielanġla tat-Taljon, Patrik ta' Stangow, Ġurġ ix-Xemx u anke Marija tal-Kaj. Ħejn minnhim ġe Ċikkiw tal-Kaj ukill għax redt jisma' naqra għane, imma ġe tord għax l-għannejje leħqiw spiċċew.

Killix ma killix qattajna sagħtejn u mejn kellu l-kuroġġ jiġej ħo pjaċur.

Kus ukill....biex titħaddit il-lingwe t'ummok quddem in-nes, hawn mejn għandu bżunn il-kuroġġ. Imme x'tagħmil?

Jen ma ddejjeqtx inqebbil waħde lil Savio kejf ken jagħmil miegħej in-nannru z-Zugow (alla jaħfirliw) - ura hawn.

X'inhi l-pozizzjoni tan-Nazzjonalisti dwar il-qerda ta' l-ambjent f'Ghawdex?

Kemm qieghdin tajjeb kos hux!

Waqt il-protesta tal-Mushrooms fl-Gharb, is-sindku Nazzjonalista ta' l-Gharb talab lil Partiti politici sabiex jaghmlu l-pozizzjoni taghhom cara dwar l-ambjent f'Ghawdex!

Kieku staqsa lil Partit tieghu nahseb kien ikun ahjar.

Xejn personali sur Sindku imma mhux sewwa li tipprova titfa' lil kulhadd f'keffa wahda.

Ezattament bl-Ingliz ighid hekk:

"The Council applies all Gozo politicians to declare publicly their position against the distortion of Gozo environment and countryside with a development in an ODZ zone." ara HAWN

Mur ghidilhom lin-nies li jien bhala Kelliemi ta' l-AD ghal Ghawdex kien ilni nigri wara s-sindku sa minn Novembru tas-sena l-ohra sabiex issir konferenza stampa dwar dan il-kaz!? Kien gie anke l-perit Cacopardo u l-Profs Cassola.

Minkejja kollox pero' inhoss li ghandi nirringrazzja lis-sindku u l-kunsill lokali ta' l-Gharb ghal pozizzjoni li issa hadu fl-interess tar-residenti ta' Triq Frangisk Portelli u tal-madwar.

Issa l-kunsill ghandu l-istqarrija ufficjali ta' l-AD dwar dan. Tghid ser ikollu xi rispons minn naha tal-PN u l-PL li huma jirrapprezentaw?

Niddibuta. Jew?

STQARRIJA STAMPA

05/09/2009

Ghandu jinstab sit iehor ghall-impjant tal-faqqiegh - AD

Alternattiva Demokratika tappoġġa lir-residenti tal-Għarb fl-oggezzjoni tagħhom għall-impjant tal-produzzjoni tal-faqqiegħ ftit metri l-bogħod miż-żona residenzjali, il-Villagg tas-Snajja Ta' Dbiegi u 200 metru biss il-bogħod mill-Lukanda Kempinski San Lawrenz.

Il-Perit Carmel Cacopardo, kelliemi ta’ AD dwar l-Iżvilupp Sostenibbli u l-Gvern Lokali qal li minn eżami tad-dokumenti tekniċi sottomessi ma jirriżultax minn fejn ser jinġieb il-ħmieġ tat-tiġieġ li ser jintuża fil-produzzjoni tas-substrate għall-faqqiegħ. Imkien ma jingħad dwar jekk l-industrija tat-tiġieġ f’Għawdex hiex f’posizzjoni li tippovdi dak meħtieġ għall-proġett tal-produzzjoni tal-faqqiegħ fl-Gharb.

Minn dak li hu magħruf jirriżulta li f’Għawdex m’hemmx biżżejjed irziezet tat-tiġieġ biex jistgħu jissuplixxu l-impjant għall-produzzjoni tal-faqqiegħ u allura dan ser ikollu jinġieb minn Malta.

Dan kollu, żied jgħid Victor Galea kelliemi ta’ AD għal Għawdex, juri mhux daqstant li l-proġett m’għandux isir, imma li postu la hu fl-Għarb u probabilment l-anqas f’Għawdex.
Mhux ta’ b’xejn li l-Project Description Statement, żied jgħid Galea, ikkonsidra numru kbir ta siti alternattivi. Għax l-ebda waħda minnhom m’hi aċċettabbli. Is-sit tal-Għarb bħas-sit tax-Xewkija hu wisq viċin l-abitat. Għandu għaldaqstant jinstab sit alternattiv.

No To Gharbitrary Planning Proposals

The Gharb Residents' Association has again joined forces with other entities to protest against the proposed mushroom factory in Gharb in an area as big as 2 football pitches in yet another Outside Development Zone and immediately adjacent to a residential area.

Special thanks to Moviment Graffitti, who, earlier this week, protested in front of the MEPA Offices and made a particular mention of this proposed factory in Gharb.

With reference to the Project Description Statement (PDS) commissioned by the developers, it is noteworthy that since 2003, MEPA recommended a site at the Xewkija Industrial area. However, when they realised that there was a residential area within the zone, MEPA itself recommended withdrawal of this application because this development would have created hazards to the residents there.

Therefore what is unacceptable for Xewkija residents is likewise unacceptable for the Gharb residents.

Such a planning application should never be proposed near any residential area in Gozo. The raw sewage outflow in Wied il-Mielah Valley, Gharb, coupled with the stench of chicken manure from a mushroom farm would further compound the deterioration of the health and safety of the residents here.
