Œbieb tiegœi skalin. Eræajt qed nikteb xi œaæa gœall-œaræa tar-rivista tas-sajf. Illum xtaqt naqsam magœkom ftit mid-dwejjaq tiegœi meta ta’ kull filgœodu jiæu gœandi nies biex jgœiduli li jkunu æew imœarrka fuq kontravenzjoni gœax persuna tkun rifset xi sinjal isfar. Qed ngœid taœrika ta’ parkeææ gœax jekk xi œadd jiæi mœarrek fuq kontravenzjonijiet oœra bœal ngœidu aœna jinqabad mingœajr çinturin, jinjora t-traffic lights, jew parkeææ œaÿin fuq xi riÿerva tad-diÿabbli. Hekk anqas biss ngœid xejn iÿda meta Marsaskala hawn problema enormi ta’ parkeææ ma naœsibx li huwa sewwa li uffiçjali tal-komunità idamdmu lir-residenti tagœna biç-çitazzjonijiet. Suppost minn Ottubru tas-sena l-oœra l-affarijiet kellhom jinbidlu. Bis-sistema l-ædida il-multi ttriplaw. Dan mhux aççettabbli. Il-kuntrattur kien u gœadu qiegœed jaœtaf. Ir-regolatur (LESA) tagœti sigœat kemm hemm bÿonn. Iÿda l-kuntrattur qed jagœfas kemm jiflaœ biex jimla bwietu.

LATRINI PUBBLIÇIHawn ukoll il-Kunsill gœandu problema

kbira biex jieœu œsieb il-latrini pubbliçi kif suppost. Nammettu li œafna drabi dawn ikunu tal-mistœija. Ÿgur li mhux gœax ma jitnaddfux iÿda peress li ma jkunx hemm nies gœassa magœhom dawn jiæu abbuÿati f’kull œin. Qabel kellna nies tal-Gvern li kienu jgœassu dawn il-latrini, iÿda gœal xi raæuni jew oœra dawn tneœœew. Is-sejœa gœal offerti jew kif magœrufa aœjar ‘tender’ œaræet bi prezz miÿeru ta’ ¢20,000 fis-sena. Ÿgur li b’dawn il-fondi ma tistax tieœu œsieb erba’ latrini. Mill-anqas wieœed irid ¢80,000 u dan ÿgur li l-Kunsill ma jistax jaffordja dawn il-fondi mill-allokazzjoni li jkollu gœall-matul is-sena. Fil-futur dawn iridu jittieœdu f’idejn il-Gvern u jkunu bi œlas. Xejn ædid gœal min isiefer gœax barra xtutna kollha hekk qegœdin. Wieœed iœallas gœas servizz. Ÿgur li xejn ta’ barra minn hawn.

IL-PARK NAZZJONALI NATURALI FIŸ-ŸONQOR

Ma nistax ma nsemmix il-proæett tal-Park Nazzjonali tal-Inwadar. Dan ser imiss ma’ tliet lokalitajiet differenti fosthom Wied il-Gœajn max-Xgœajra u Œaÿ-Ÿabbar. Minn

dan il-park ser igawdu minnu mhux biss in-nies min-naœa t’isfel ta’ Malta, iÿda minn kull lokalità f’Malta u Gœawdex. Nista’ ngœid illi waqt il-laqgœat ta’ konsultazzjoni ma’ nies mit-tliet lokalitajiet differenti kien hemm diskussjonijiet poÿittivi. Dan ser ikun proæett massiv u ser isir b’attenzjoni. Ser nieœdu œsieb id-diversi speçi li jgœixu jew jikbru hemmhekk, kemm dawk tal-baœar kif ukoll œxejjex u gœasafar.

DOUZELAGE U PRESIDENZAIllum jidher illi meta nsemmu

d-Douzelage nifhmu li din l-assoçjazzjoni ta’ æemelaææi madwar l-Ewropa kienet ta’ æid kbir gœalina l-Iskalin, speçjalment fejn jidœlu ÿgœaÿagœ u kultura. Marsaskala ilha tokkupa il-viçi presidenza gœal dawn l-aœœar sitt snin iÿda fil-laqgœa æenerali li jmiss ser tittanta xortiha biex tipprova tieœu l-presidenza. Dan ÿgur mhux ser isir b’kapriçç iÿda b’aktar impenn u xogœol. Nemmen iÿda li ÿgur li m’gœandniex x’nitilfu.

Din is-sena kellna proæett ieœor fejn rappreÿentanti barranin æew fostna u ddiskutejna demokrazija aœjar u rwol taÿ-ÿgœaÿagœ fil-politika. Iÿda dwar dan ser jitkellem aktar Ryan Portelli li gœandu x’jaqsam mal-proæetti relatati.

Bejn April u Mejju gœal xahar sœiœ kien hawn fostna grupp ta’ kokijiet Pollakki jagœmlu xogœol volontarju. Dawn æew minn Kulleææ æewwa Chojna, il-Polonja. Fil-lokal kien hawn lukanda u stabbiliment ieœor tal-ikel li bbenefikaw minn din l-inizjattiva.

LUZZUXi œaæa oœra poÿittiva hija li persuna li veru

tœobb ir-raœal tagœna, dan l-aœœar avviçinani u b’sorpriÿa staqsieni jekk kontx lest naççetta gœotja ta’ luzzu lill-Kunsill biex isir ieœor bœal dak li diæà hemm fit-telgœa taÿ-Ÿonqor. Dan xtaq li jitpoææa x’imkien peress li hu ma kellux iÿjed çans gœalih. Apparti li l-luzzu, li gœandu tmenin sena, huwa sabiœ fih storja. Dan kien l-ewwel luzzu li æie Wied il-Gœajn. Iÿjed minn hekk kien æarr l-istatwa ta’ Sant’Anna, mill-Imsida sa’ Wied il-Gœajn wara l-gwerra. Dan il-luzzu æie diskuss quddiem il-Kunsill u b’vot unanimu sar qbil illi jitpoææa fil-œamrija fi ænien Sant’Anna.

Grazzi tal-gœajnuna u nieœu l-okkaÿjoni biex nixtiqilkom sajf mill-isbaœ.

Is-sajf reæa’ magœna, u miegœu l-isfidi gœal dan il-lokal turistiku

bœal tagœna. Fis-Sajf, Wied il-Gœajn jagœti merœba lil eluf ta’ villeææanti u turisti li jqajmu l-ekonomija lokali, u jagœtu œajja lir-rutina ta’ kuljum. Iÿda ma’ dawn irridu nsemmu ÿ-ÿieda massiva fil-popolazzjoni, li gœalkemm temporanja, taffettwa wkoll l-infrastruttura tal-lokal.

Madanakollu ftit tal-æimgœat ilu, bi pjaçir innutajna li ÿ-ÿieda fil-popolazzjoni ta’ Wied il-Gœajn æiet irrikonoxxuta mill-Gvern Çentrali minœabba l-fatt li r-raœal tagœna qiegœed jikber b’rata mgœaææla. Qed nirreferi gœat-tœabbira ta’ proæett poÿittiv œafna gœal-lokal tagœna – il-œolqien ta’ grawnd tal-futbol full size gœat-tim ta’ Marsaskala FC u gœall-uÿu tagœna r-residenti. Dan il-grawnd, li ser ikun qiegœed jitqiegœed æewwa l-Family Park, se jkun qed joffri l-façilitajiet li t-tim lokali tagœna li tant kellu bÿonn, mingœajr ma jisraq aktar art naturali mil-lokal.

Gœaldaqstant ma nistax ma nfaœœarx din l-inizjattiva li tkompli turi li bi ftit

kreattività, m’gœandniex gœalfejn nuÿaw art veræni biex ikollna l-façilitajiet li r-raœal tagœna gœandu bÿonn. Minn hawn neræa’ gœal darb’ oœra nirringrazzja lir-residenti kollha li appoææjaw u gœadhom jappoææjaw il-poÿizzjoni tiegœi favur il-protezzjoni tal-ambjent ta’ Wied il-Gœajn.

Il-Kunsill huwa kburi bil-fatt li sa mill-bidu ta’ din il-leæiÿlatura, kien minn tal-ewwel fil-kamp teknoloæiku. Il-live streaming tal-laqgœat tal-Kunsill issa ndraw sew u dejjem qed nirçievu kummenti kostruttivi min-naœa tagœkom sabiex intejbu

Issa li s-Sajf qiegœed magœna, l-appell tiegœi gœalina r-residenti hu li nagœmlu iktar sforz sabiex inÿommu lil Wied il-Gœajn kemm jista’ jkun nadif. Dan japplika kemm gœal kif nisseparaw u noœoræu l-iskart mid-djar tagœna, kif ukoll gœal kif narmu meta nkunu barra, max-xatt jew œdejn il-baœar. Huwa x-xogœol tagœna

lkoll li nÿommu r-raœal fl-aœjar kundizzjoni possibbli.

Fl-aœœar nett, nixtieq nawgura l-festa t-tajba lill-Iskalin kollha, u minn hawn ngœid prosit lil dawk l-individwi li ta’ kull sena jaœdmu sabiex il-festa fil-lokal tkompli tikber. L-isforz tagœkom hu ferm apprezzat! Bœal dejjem, nistedinkom sabiex tgœadduli kwalunkwe kumment jew mistoqsija fuq l-imejl tiegœi – il-bieb huwa dejjem miftuœ.

Œbieb, nieœu din l-opportunità sabiex bœala koordinatur tal-Grupp Armar

nirringrazzja lill-Kunsill kollu tal-opportunità li dejjem itina sabiex permezz tal-kitba nkunu nistgœu nwasslu l-messaææ tagœna bœala grupp.

B’wiççi minn quddiem nista’ niæi hawn u nesprimi s-sodisfazzjon tiegœi gœall-œidma kbira, u bla waqfien li saret bœala grupp magœqud, sabiex nassiguraw ruœna li r-raœal matul din il-festa li ser niççelebraw, ikompli jilbes il-libsa li verament tixraqlu. Kif forsi œafna jafu bœala lokalità ma nagœmlux festa kbira, u sfortunatament hija œafna nieqsa mill-armar tal-festa. Dan ikompli jitfa’ responsabbiltà fuqna sabiex naœdmu dejjem aktar œalli nassiguraw ruœna li fis-snin li æejjin dan ir-raœal ikompli jipprogressa, kif ukoll jesperjenza bidla fil-qasam tal-armar u l-mod ta’ kif jintrama l-istess raœal. Gœal dan il-gœan nista’ ngœid li ninsab ferm sodisfatt bit-tim ta’ membri u voluntiera fi œdan il-grupp li jagœmlu xogœol mill-aqwa, u wkoll œafna sagrifiççji. Dan ix-xogœol ivarja minn manutenzjoni fuq l-istess armar tal-festa, kif ukoll opri æodda li jibdlu dawk antiki jew li jkunu spiççaw.

Din is-sena l-grupp kompla gœaddej bil-œidma tiegœu fuq bdil ta’ ventijiet antiki li kienu msadda u mherrija gœal sistema ædida li hija dik ta’ stainless-steel. Sistema li mhix irœisa iÿda li toffri aktar garanzija li l- vent jibqa’ jitgawda gœal œafna aktar snin, milli jkollna noqogœdu nibdlu vent wara ftit ÿmien gœaliex ikun spiçça kollu sadid. L-istess wieœed jista’ jgœid fuq l-arbli tal-festa li dawn ukoll gœaddejjin minn faÿi ta’ manutenzjoni estensiva hekk kif il-biçça t’isfel tagœhom spiççat mikula bis-sadid u kif ukoll dan jagœmilha ta’ periklu gœall-istess arbli li jintramaw hekk kif dawn setgœu jkunu ta’ theddida gœas-saœœa u s-sigurtà tan-nies. Bl-gœaqal tal-grupp u d-direzzjoni mogœtija mill-kappillan Fr Roderick Camilleri kif wkoll Viçi Kappillan Fr Luke, æew identifikati l-prijoritajiet li jeœtieæu attenzjoni immedjata, u hekk wieœed jista’ jgœid li din il-manutenzjoni bdiet u f’qasir ÿmien ser titlesta wkoll.

PROÆETTI ÆODDAIl-grupp huwa entuÿjast u

determinat li jkompli jara lil dan ir-raœal jilbes il-libsa li verament tixraqlu matul il-jiem tal-festa. Dan çertament ma jkunx possibbli jekk ma jkunx hemm l-gœajnuna diretta proprju tagœkom permezz ta’ gœotjiet finanzjarji kif ukoll sapport meœtieæ billi niæbdu aktar nies æodda li lesti joffru ftit mill-œin tagœhom sabiex ikompli jitkattar il-æid fil-komunità, grazzi gœall-volontarjat. L-gœan aœœari tal-grupp hu li jkompli jidentifika l-prijoritajiet b’gœaqal fosthom li r-raœal jkompli jintrama b’armar denju fosthom fil-qasam tad-drapp, li hu nieqes œafna. Hija xewqa kbira tagœna li wieœed jara r-raœal armat b’mod xieraq bœal irœula oœra bi drapp mill-isbaœ li jkun jista’ jitgawda matul il-jiem tal-festa. Dawn il-proæetti sbieœ flimkien m’oœrajn li hemm ippjanati ma jistgœux ikomplu jimmaterjalizzaw ruœhom jekk mhux b’gœaqal u responsabbiltà ma nsolvux il-problema tal-œaÿna tal-armar tal-festa, sabiex dan ma tibqax issirlu œsara hekk kif il-post fejn qed jiæi maœÿun fil-preÿent mhux adegwat u tajjeb. Il-knisja l-antika qatt ma kienet maœsuba sabiex isservi l-funzjonijiet ta’ maœÿen, l-isfortuna hija li din hija l-unika post li fil-preÿent gœandna sabiex jiæi maœÿun dan l-Armar. Nittamaw li bl-gœajnuna ta’ kulœadd fosthom tal-kleru kollu tal-parroçça li jien gœandi fiduçja assoluta fihom, inkomplu naœdmu bir-reqqa sabiex tinstab soluzzjoni dejjiema gœall-problema li qed timmina l-futur tal-istess festa. Irridu niÿguraw ruœna li finalment jinstab post xieraq li fih jibda jiæi maœÿun dan l-armar mingœajr ma ssirlu aktar œsara kif wkoll li jagœmillek aktar kuraææ li taœdem. Nemmen li fi ÿmien li æej din gœandha tkun il-prijorità prinçipali tal-parroçça hekk kif dan l-armar huwa kollu proprjetà tal-istess parroçça, u li bœal kull oææett ieœor wieœed gœandu jibÿa’ gœalih bl-aœjar mod possibbli.

Dawn l-isforzi ma jiæux weœidhom jekk ma jkollokx tim magœqud, li jaœdem b’konvinzjoni u b’kuraææ ta’ sur, sabiex nassiguraw ruœna li gœal dawn il-problemi se tinstab soluzzjoni gœalihom kif wkoll

naraw li l-festa tkompli tikber u tisbiœ b’gœaqal mingœajr ebda gœaæla ÿejda. Hawn irrid nirringrazzja lis-Segretarju tal-Grupp, is-Sur Ian Massa tal-assistenza kontinwa li jagœti, kif ukoll lill-membri u ’l-volontiera kollha fi œdan il-grupp tal-œin li joffru f’dan il-qasam; Lin-nies ta’ qalb tajba li wkoll jagœtu kontribut ferm kbir sabiex ikomplu jinæabru l-finanzi meœtieæa permezz tan-numru sabiœ t’attivitajiet li norganizzaw minn ÿmien gœal ÿmien u li gœalihom jattendu; Mhux l-inqas lill-Kunsill kollu mmexxi mis-Sindku s-Sur Mario Calleja, u kif ukoll il-Minority Leader, is-Sur John Baptist Camilleri tal-gœajnuna kontinwa li dejjem jagœtuna f’kull mument u œin li nitolbu l-assistenza tagœhom. Dan huwa kunsill dinamiku li jaœdem u li iva nistqar magœkom kuntent immens naœdem flimkien magœhom.

Dan huwa l-ispirtu li trid taœdem bih sabiex ikompli jitkattar il-æid fil-lokalità. Dan il-æid ma jiæix jekk ma twarrabx l-elementi negattivi, li jæibu l-firda. Trid tkun dejjem viæilanti fuq dawn l-elementi li nistqarr b’mod apert m’hawnx post gœalihom, f’organizzazzjoni serja bœalma hija tagœna. Iç-çavetta tas-suççess gœal festa hija l-gœaqda li permezz tagœha tassigura ruœek li bœala familja waœda norganizzaw festa li verament tixraq l-Ommna Sant’Anna patruna ta’ din il-lokalità.

Nagœlaq billi nirringrazzja lil sœabi kollha tan-Nar u tal-Banda li lkoll huma parti importanti f’dan is-suççess li jrid jintlaœaq, grazzi gœas-sagrifiççji u l-œidma bla waqfien tagœhom kif ukoll il-kooperazzjoni bejn kull fazzjoni li taœdem gœall-festa. Minn qalbi nsellmilkom kif ukoll gœal darb’oœra nirringrazzjakom tal-gœajnuna u s-sostenn kontinwu tagœkom.

Bœal kull sena, f’dan iÿ-ÿmien, il-Kunsill joœroæ dan il-fuljett ta’ tagœrif dwar

l-andament tal-œidma li tkun gœaddejja. Ninsabu fil-bidu tas-Sajf u nsellmu ukoll lil dawk li jqattgœu s-Sajf magœna.

Insellem ukoll lil œafna voluntiera, u gœaqdiet li jinsabu imœabbtin bi tœejjijiet gœall-festa tal-Padruna Sant’Anna. Irrid ukoll nagœti merœba lill-Kappilan Dun Roderick Camilleri li œa l-pussess tal-parroçça ftit tal-æimgœat ilu u lil viçi, Dun Luke Cutajar.

DAWLDwar id-dawl lestejna x-xogœol ta’

manutenzjoni, u restawr fuq il- Fanali ornamentali ta’ Triq ix-Xatt. Kull min jgœaddi minn hemm jinnota d-dehra œafna isbaœ u dawl li jpaxxi l-gœajn.

Bdilna wkoll il-lampi kollha ta’ ænien Sant’Anna, u issa qed nagœmlu uÿu minn lampi LEDs ukoll. Dawn juru iÿjed dawl u jikkunsmaw œafna inqas elettriku.

Nieœu gost ukoll nara l-frott ta’ inizjattiva li ressaqt u mbuttajt ’il quddiem xi ÿmien ilu, fejn æie stallat tagœmir f’xi postijiet fejn ikunu jistgœu jiæu ççaræjati vetturi li jaœdmu bl-elettriku.

Komplejna gœaddejjin bix-xogœol ta’ tœejjija gœal proæett ieœor mal-Awtorità tal-Ippjanar, li konna bdejna iktar qabel

mal-MEPA. Dan sabiex jiæu mibdulin ukoll œafna fanali oœra li jinsabu mwaœœlin fil-qalba tar-raœal tagœna. Dawn œafna minhom huma antiki, miksurin u msaddin. Minbarra dan qed jikkawÿaw œsarat fi propjetà privata.

WIRT STORIKUDan l-aœœar, fl-inœawi tal-Magœluq,

il-Kunsill œass il-bÿonn li kellu jagœmel konferenza stampa fuq il-post peress li ilna gœal bosta snin nagœmlu pressjoni, wara li inœela œafna œin prezzjuÿ, sabiex l-awtoritajiet konçernati jibdew iwettqu dak li hemm bÿonn sabiex jiæi mnaddaf u rrestawrat dan is-sit storiku, kif ukoll tiæi irranæata ç-çirkolazjoni tal-ilma gœall-baœar peress li din æiet ostakolata xi ÿmien ilu meta twessgœet it-triq. Trid tiæi rranæata wkoll is-sistema tal-ilma tax-xita tat- toroq fl-inœawi tal-madwar li minnhom jiÿbokka wkoll l-ilma tax-xita fl-istess Magœluq.

LATRINI PUBBLIÇIDan l-aœœar æie itterminat il-kuntratt

taÿ-ÿamma tagœhom , u reægœet œaræet sejœa oœra sabiex jitjib il-livell tal-indafa u s-servizz fl-erba’ latrini li gœandna.

Nixtieq nawgura minn qalbi lill-Iskalin kollha festa mill-isbaœ u li tisseddaq l-gœaqda fir-raœal fejn ngœixu.

Brief message to our English speaking neighbours

Dear English speaking residents please allow me to brief you about my duties within the Local Council.

I am responsible for the maintenance; upkeep; and new installations of all the street lighting in our locality. This includes Enemalta related issues and alternative energy sources. This is the day to day running of keeping all Marsaskala lighting systems serviceable.

Moreover, I am also in charge of the upkeep and maintenance of the four public conveniences, in Marsaskala. This is something which I am not happy with. A call for tenders is in the process to be issued shortly. Hopefully this would help us ease the problems we are facing with their upkeep.

I am also the councillor who is responsible for the historical heritage of our locality. One has to appreciate this has to be done with very limited resources to improve the situation.

Finally I also sit on the editorial board of the Council Magazine.

I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy summer period.

Œbieb,

Reæa’ wasal iÿ-ÿmien biex neræa’ nagœmel kuntatt magœkom permezz ta’ dan

l-artiklu li s-soltu nikteb gœall-magaÿin tagœna li se joœroæ dalwaqt. Œriæna mill-istaæun tax-Xitwa, jekk din is-sena stajna ngœidulha xitwa. Ÿgur li din is-sena x-Xitwa ma œaqritniex; ftit kellna æranet b’dik il-kesœa li s-soltu konna nœossu, b’mod speçjali aœna l-anzjani. Kellna æranet li bilkemm kont temmen li konna fl-istaæun tax-Xitwa. Matul dan l-istaæun li œafna jqisuh bœala l-istaæun tal-æabra, gœax peress li l-æranet ikunu iqsar, it-tfal ikunu okkupati bix-xogœol li jkollhom tal-iskola, ftit ikunu dawk li jippreferu joqogœdu barra, u kulœadd jinxteœet quddiem it-televixin, fejn noqogœdu naraw xi programm jew xi telesirjil qabel ma mmorru norqdu kmieni. Biss f’dan l-istaæun ukoll kellna æranet xi ngwadu bœal dak il-æranet sbieœ tal-Milied u tal-bidu tas-sena, fejn il-familji kollha jiltaqgœu, jinæabru, u jifirœu aktar b’xulxin f’dawn il-æranet tas-sena speçjali. Biss kif dejjem ngœidu ÿ-ÿmien jgœaddi, u ma jistenna lil œadd. U issa wara li dœalna fl-staæun sabiœ l-ieœor tar-Rebbiegœa donnha li l-œajja teræa’ tibda tqum mir-raqda tax-Xitwa; Tara l-gœelieqi tagœna jibdew iœaddru, u kullimkien jimtela bil-fjuri, u l-œajja teræa’ tistidinna biex noœoræu aktar mis-satra tad-dar tagœna, u ngawdu aktar l-arja ta’ barra. Din is-sena konna neqsin xi ftit mix-xita aktar mis-soltu, gœax bœalma qalulna kienet waœda mill-aktar xtiewi xotti li qatt kellna – nisperaw li dan mhux se npattu gœalih issa fl-istaæun tas-Sajf, gœax minn jifhem jgœid li se nbatu b’nuqqas ta’ frott fl-istaæun li æej. Biss bœas-soltu l-istaæun tas-Sajf, b’mod speçjali gœalina l-anzjani, huwa l-istaæun li l-aktar ingawdu. Peress li l-æranet ikunu itwal, dan iœajjarna, naturalment minn ikun jiflaœ, noœoræu barra, niltaqgœu ma’ œafna nies u nqattgœu sigœat sœaœ ingawdu l-frisk ta’ barra, filwaqt li nieklu xi pizza jew nieœdu xi æelat tajjeb. Naturalment gœandna noqogœdu attenti f’dak kollu li nagœmlu u

nieklu. Jekk nesaæeraw jista’ jkun li nkunu qegœdin nagœmlu œsara gœal saœœitna. Ilkoll nafu li l-esaæerat f’xejn mhu tajjeb. Irridu f’dan l-istaæun nieœdu œsieb çertu affarijiet, bœal ngœidu aœna nevitaw li noqogœdu barra fil-œin meta x-xemx tkun taœraq, infittxu li nixorbu œafna aktar ilma, nilbsu œwejjeæ œfief. Insomma ilkoll nafu x’ gœandna nagœmlu. Bilœaqq ma ninsewx lill-annimali tagœna. Dawk ukoll iœossu s-sœana. Tœalluhomx fix-xemx tuhom jixorbu l-ilma spiss.

Filwaqt li fl-istaæuni l-oœra wieœed mill-aktar eÿerçizzji li tajjeb li nagœmlu huwa l-mixi, fl-istaæun tas-Sajf minbarra l-mixi filgœaxijiet, ikollna wkoll l-opportunità, minn ikun jista’, Ii jmur jgœum. Dan l-eÿerçizzju jagœmel œafna æid lil kulœadd. Naturalment irridu noqogœdu attenti x’œinijiet immorru. Kif diæà gœedt importanti li nevitaw il-œin ta’ wara nofsinhar, u jekk jista jkun li nkunu fil-kumpanija ta’ xi œbieb œalli kulœadd ikun ta’ wens gœal œaddieœor. Tieœu pjaçir tara anzjani fi gruppi jgœinu lil xulxin, u jitœadtu fuq kollox, b’xi kappell daqsiex æo rashom u fl-istess œin ikunu qed jagœmlu œafna æid lil saœœithom. Dan huma l-istaæun li fid-dar ikun hemm aktar attivitajiet, gœax it-tfal peress li ma jkollomx skola ikunu aktar madwarna, u gœalhekk inkunu nistgœu ngawduhom aktar. F’dan l-istaæun nibdew nersqu aktar lejn dik il-bidla li fir-raœal tagœna naraw kull sena. Il-popolazzjoni ta’ Wied il-Gœajn tikber f’daqqa u bil-kbir. Illum sirna wieœed mill-aktar postijiet imfittxija f’Malta kemm fix-Xitwa, u aktar u aktar fis-Sajf. Gœalkemm aœna nieœdu pjaçir nerægœu niltaqgœu ma’ dawk in-nies li nkunu ilna ma narawhom xhur sœaœ, is-Sajf iæibilna problemi æodda wkoll bœal dawk ta’ parkeææ, densità eçç. Biss kif ngœidu, kollox fih is-sabiœ u l-ikrah tiegœu.

Matul dan iÿ-ÿmien ukoll nistgœu ngœidu li l-attivitajiet jibqgœu sejrin. Filwaqt li fix-xitwa kellna laqgœa, u okkaÿjonijiet fejn iltqajna f’attivitajiet rikreattivi u soçjali, fis-sajf ikollna œaræiet informattivi u ma

gœandniex xi ngœidu l-famuÿi œaræiet li nagœmlu gœal Gœawdex. S’issa diæà gœamilna waœda f’ April. Ÿgur li min ma laœaqx æie magœna dakinnhar se jkollu okkaÿjonijiet oœrajn. Dejjem irridu niççekkjaw in-notice boards li l-Kunsill gœandu mferrxin mal-lokal œalli nkunu nafu bl-attivitajiet li jkunu qed jiæu organizzati minn ÿmien gœal ÿmien. Ma ninsewx f’dan l-istaæun tasal ukoll l-festa tagœna ta’ Sant’ Anna, festa li ææib gœaqda u ferœ fil-lokal. Din is-sena wkoll gœall-ewwel darba se jiæi organizzat il-Karnival tas-Sajf, fejn se naraw karrijiet, baned, ÿfin eçç. Dak kollu li jæib miegœu karnival. Nirringrazzjaw lill-Kumitat tal-Karnival li bœal ma sar f’Buæibba, issa se jsir fil-lokal tagœna wkoll. Qabel nagœlaq ma rridx ninsa bœas-soltu nirringrazzja lil dawk l-infermiera kollha li offrew is-servizzi tagœhom b’xejn gœal aktar minn æimgœa biex taw it-tilqima tal-influwenza lil mijiet ta’ anzjani.

Bœas-soltu ma nixba’ qatt ngœidilkom u nistedinkom biex lili, li dejjem tarawni fostkom matul is-sena kollha, tgœiduli b’dak kollu li jkollkom bÿonn. Jiena, min-naœa tiegœi, nagœmel mill-aœjar biex naqdikom.

The Main aim of this Conference was about the link between the Social

Services in our country, the Voluntary Work and the Ecclesiastical, working hand in hand to help a Single parent. What can be done together to enhance a better life and better education to a single parent?

In our country we have many organisations trying to help out in single parenthood. These are school counselling, seminars, Dar Guzeppa Debono (for 30 years), OASI Foundation, the Church itself, caritas, Home start, Department of Social Security and many other support groups.

One of the speakers, Ms Jenny Zammit, a Designation Counsellor, Family Therapist and Systemic Supervisor spoke about the ideal service given to a single parent. She said that there are different types of single parents like separated from their partners, parents divorced /annulled and parents died. Statistics shows that one third of the Maltese people are single parents while in America there are around 57% single parents. The rate is getting higher nowadays in our country. In the last 16 years 10,000 couples filed for separation and few years ago we also had the controversy between political parties and the church for the divorce to become legalised. Until now, the divorce didn’t bring much maturity as the first thing that a single parent thinks about is the financial support given by the bread winner and not the way a single parent should deal with the kids in the family. On the other hand when a parent becomes single as he or she is widowed, is much diversely treated. There is more sympathy with the surviving parent and the child, more good vibes and the children are more accepted.

What is the difference between these 2 types? There shouldn’t be, as both types in the long run needs more assistance and education. There shouldn’t be

One of the thoughts that comes to a mind of a single parent is – are we judged by society? Do our children be marginalised from the rest of the society?

One of the worst actions that a single parent can do is, using the children to acquire more. This doesn’t reflect much good on the children’s growth, mentally and even doesn’t give a good example for their future.

A single parent should be given help to grow his child by parenting courses. One of the worst things to do when separating is not to tell the child why. If children are young, you do not have to explain everything, but you have to reassure the kids that the parents are separating because they do not agree with each other anymore. All this doesn’t mean that they don’t love them; indeed they are separating to give the kids a healthier life, a more serene one.

Apart from financial help and moral help, a single parent should be given more attention and help on how to cook, to clean the house, the upkeep of children and themselves. We cannot forget that nowadays we have both sexes having custody of their children. In 1997/1998, the first custody on a father was issued.

The single parent should build a new relationship with the persons around her family. He/she should go out and mingle with other single parents, go to relevant support groups and build up a new healthy life. A single parent shouldn’t say – I am not normal….I am different from the others. A single parent must remember that he/she still has a family around her…they are still a family.

On the historic aspect, Professor Charles Savona Ventura, Grand Prior of the Military & Hospitaller Order of St Lazarus of Jerusalem, said that in the 16th century already existed similar assistance to a single parent. Provisions to care unwanted

children and foundlings were introduced in Malta during the late medieval times. An Ospizio Santo Spirito was established and wet nurses were being paid by the Ospizio for the well-being of the child and upbringing. With the arrival of the Knights in Malta, the care services were increased by opening

Another Panel speaker, Mr Grazio Barbara, Director General (Social Security) said that there are certain single parents who tries to live on Social Security money all their life. He also said that nowadays they are giving courses to these persons so as to start living in society, start working and earn their own money and also learn how to save money for their future. If the parent finds a job, the social security money will not be stopped immediately but eventually.

The audience also gave their contribution in the discussion by mentioning that both parents should attend in parental skill courses and support groups for the grandmothers should be given as nowadays many grandparents are taking care of theirs nephews and nieces. Another comment was that children with one parent should not be labelised and all the class together should be educated on the matter so that children with one parent will not be bullied by his friends. Another person from the audience said that persons who suffered domestic violence, apart from being helped out on the agony created from the violence, they also should be helped psychologically.

After the discussion Fr Rene Camilleri and his Excellency Mrgn. Mario Grech, the Bishop of Gozo, gave their ecclesiastical debut and urged the Voluntary workers, the Church and the Department of Social services to work together for better results in these types of families in our country.

Josef Grech

The annual General Meeting was held on Friday the March 2016 at

Wasteserv premises. This is an annual meeting which is held in accordance with local council legislation. It gives the opportunity to residents to obtain information about the council’s accomplished projects and activities as well as the council’s plan of works and future projects. During the annual general meeting, the residents were give the opportunity to voice their ideas and concerns.

Moreover, the financial statements for the financial year 2015 were also explained. There were quite a few residents present for this meeting. Carnival 2016 for the first time within the Maltese Council for Arts Marsaskala in collaboration with the Carnival Committee will be organizing a Carnival event in Marsaskala. The forecasted date is Sunday 21st August 2016. This event will be held

thanks to funds which the council obtained from a scheme launched by the Department for Local Government and the Malta Tourism Authority. The Council will have to plan properly for this event since it will attract residents and tourists from all over Malta. The council has already started to meet with several authorities for this event.

PUBLIC CONVENIENCESOver the past few months, the council

received several complaints on the state of the public conveniences. The council took immediate action and issued a new call with improved conditions. The process is quite lengthy but hopefully we will have a new contractor before summer. It is pertinent to note that the council does not have sufficient funds to man all 4 public conveniences. Unfortunately this has led to various instances of vandalism from unknown persons.

EMBELLISHMENT WORKS AT ST THOMAS BAY

Various meetings have been held with representatives from the Malta Tourism Authority concerning embellishment works at St. Thomas Bay but more precisely over the area known as Tal-Fajtata. From last year, the bay saw the introduction of lifeguards who were of valuable assistance on numerous occasions throughout summer of 2015. Several forecasted projects include the embellishment of the public convenience as well as the embellishment of the whole Fajtata area. The ultimate goal is to upgrade the beach to a blue flag status.

May I take the opportunity to wish all our readers best summer wishes. I hope you make the best out of it!

Proposed Traffic ManagementProposed Traffic Management

Marsaskala Local Council has been receiving numerous complaints

regarding the current traffic situation at Triq in-Nadur which is not wide enough for a two-way road and accommodate parking on both sides of the road. Traffic congestions in this road are occurring on a frequent basis especially when heavy vehicles pass through this road.

Marsaskala Local Council is

informed that the lower part of Triq il-Vjola will soon be resurfaced and opened to traffic. Therefore Marsaskala Local Council is proposing a one-way system as a solution to this problem. You are cordially being invited to let us know in writing whether you agree or not to this proposed one way system.

Kindly send us your feedback on [email protected] not later than 30th June, 2016.

stœarriæ permezz ta’ intervisti fost residenti fil-lokalità. Huwa œejja profil soçjali ta’ Wied il-Gœajn gœal-Marsaskala Residents Association: dik l-gœaqda li kienet il-prekursur tal-Kunsill Lokali. Minn dan l-istœarriæ, huwa identifika l-karatteristiçi differenti li jagœmlu l-komunità tagœna, u li b’mod æenerali gœadhom japplikaw sal-lum. Fost dawn huwa jsemmi l-wasla ta’ œafna familji ÿgœaÿagœ æodda, speçjalment in-naœa tas-Siberja, Bellavista u l-qasam tal-bini taÿ-Ÿonqor; il-qasam ta’ villeææatura fil-Bajja San Tumas; il-parti rurali tal-Bidni; il-parti l-antika ta’ maæenb il-Knisja Parrokkjali, bl-eqdem familji Skalin; u x-Xatt, bl-investiment qawwi fl-industrija tal-ikel, xorb u divertiment, li sar fih.

Fl-2003, il-Professur Baldacchino aççetta poÿizzjoni ta’ riçerka fl-Università ta’ Prince Edward Island, il-Kanada (www.upei.ca). Hemmhekk, huwa gœamel 10 snin jiÿviluppa l-istudju tal-gÿejjer ÿgœar. Kiseb ukoll esperjenza siewja fl-amministrazzjoni ta’ istituzzjoni edukattiva bœalma hija università. Reæa’ lura fl-Universita ta’ Malta full-time f’Ottubru 2013 u din is-sena kkontesta gœall-kariga prestiææjuÿa ta’ rettur tal-istess università. Gœalkemm ma rnexxilux jiæi elett, ir-Rettur il-ædid, il-Professur Alfred J. Vella, gœoæbu jistiednu sabiex jservi bœala wieœed mill-œames pro retturi tiegœu, responsabbli mill-iÿvilupp internazzjonali tal-università tagœna: kariga li Baldacchino aççetta b’impenn u entuÿjaÿmu.

Nisæa’ ta’ Gœerf f’MarsaskalaWaqt li kien qed iœejji l-kampanja

tiegœu gœall-elezzjoni ta’ rettur, il-Prof. Baldacchino induna kif bosta esperti u nies

imœarræa li joqogœdu Wied il-Gœajn rari jagœtu kontribut lill-villaææ fejn joqogœdu. Ibda minnu stess; jgœix Wied il-Gœajn, imma l-œidma professjonali tiegœu fil-lokal, bœal ta’ œafna oœrajn, kienet prattikament ÿero. U minn hemm nibtet l-idea: kif nistgœu nagœrfu nutilizzaw aœjar il-œiliet u t-talenti siewja li jeÿistu fil-komunità tagœna, gœal æid tal-istess komunità. Gœalhekk, bdew diskussjonijiet informali, mal-Kunsillier John Baptist Camilleri, mas-Sindku Mario Calleja, u miegœi, œalli naraw x’jista’ jsir. Fil-œaræa li gœaddiet tal-Fuljett tal-Kunsill (Diçembru 2015), u anki f’intervista li ngœatat lil æurnal lokali, issemma kif, minkejja li f’Wied il-Gœajn hawn numru ta’ nies kapaçissmi, rari naraw kontribut minnhom lejn il-lokalità tagœhom. Wara kollox, huwa fatt magœruf li Wied il-Gœajn igawdi minn fost l-ogœla rati ta’ nies gradwati fin-naœa t’isfel ta’ Malta. U dawk ir-residenti Skalin b’œiliet u snajja’ partikulari huma bosta.

U gœalhekk saret sejœa gœal voluntiera fl-istess fuljett. Gœaliha wieæbu disa’ persuni, residenti f’Wied il-Gœajn. Dawn attendew kollha gœal-laqgœa ta’ informazzjoni li saret fil-uffiççju tal-Kunsill nhar il-Æimgœa, 22 ta’ April 2016. (ARA RITRATT) u li damet sejra kwaÿi tliet sigœat. Din hija rispons tajba œafna bœala bidu ta’ nisæa ta’ gœerf lokali, u xejn ma jÿommna milli nkattru u naææornaw il-lista tal-voluntiera aktar ’il quddiem.

Dawn huma s-servizzi li lesti joffru s’issa dawn il-voluntiera:• Abbozzar ta’ pjan lokali gœall-iÿvilupp

sostenibbli tat-turiÿmu f’Wied il-Gœajn• Tfassil ta’ nature trail sabiex

napprezzaw in-natura ta’ madwarna u li joœodna f’passiææati f’diversi nœawi ta’ Wied il-Gœajn

I would like to wish a warm welcome to all the new Friends who have joined our

mailing list. I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce Gillian Galea, who has very kindly agreed to come on board to help run the social events. In January we held our first croquet competition, the first of three competitions to be spread throughout the winter and spring months, with our players competing for a place in the super final in May.

January’s winners were the very happy Marilyn Borg and Sandra Gempton. (Pictured) Also in January we held a very successful wine tasting evening, hosted by our very kind friends at Grabiel. February brought the carnival and here we are pictured in our costumes having great fun at Doris and Lino’s Carnival Dinner Dance held at Inspire.

A guided walk along the Xemxija Heritage Trail, finishing with a lovely lunch

on the beach at Armier Bay completed our February activities. In March we had a fantastic social outing to the 5D cinema in Valletta, followed by a tour of the new parliament buildings and the opportunity to sit in on a live parliamentary question time. We also attended a Tea Dance in March held at Inspire, organized by the Happy Days Dance Studio, where a good time was had by all.

In April we walked through the beautiful Birzebbugia Valley, on to Marsaxlokk where some stopped to enjoy a leisurely lunch and others continued the walk back to Marsaskala. The month finished with an exciting car scavenger hunt through the lovely Maltese country side and a group meal to celebrate with the winning team.

In May we had a great social outing to Gozo, visiting the Ta’Kola Windmill amongst other interesting places. Our summer is now heating up rapidly, so to

Friends of MarsaskalaFriends of Marsaskala

help keep us cool, we have introduced yacht charters for the months of July, August and September.

The summer is always a very exciting time, as in July it is our village festa, where everyone gets to celebrate and have a good time together during the many activities organized by Marsaskala Band Club and the Local Council. Throughout the year our weekly activities include Monday, Wednesday and Thursday croquet: Tuesday play and learn bridge and Tuesday evening dance class: Thursdays duplicate bridge and alternate weeks we run a quiz night and beginners dance class. Monthly we have an organized walk and attend a pasta and dance night at Inspire. Social events slot in between our busy schedule.

Aktar ma jgœaddi ÿmien, aktar sar ikolli x’nikteb fuq l-Assoçjazzjoni Douzelage.

U dan gœal raæuni waœda; aœna membri attivi f’ din l-assoçjazzjoni ta’ æemellaææi. Issib œafna nies li jgœidulek li l-æemellaææi huma biss laqgœat li ma jwasslu gœal imkien, laqgœat li fihom jinvolvu flus maœruæa mill-Kunsill u li dawn jistgœu alternattivament jintuÿaw fi progetti li verament jagœmlu æid gœal-lokal. Hawn min jgœidlek li meta delegazzjoni ssiefer, ikunu qegœdin jintefqu l-flus fil-vojt. Meta dan assolutament mhux il-kaÿ.

Din is-sena, kellna seminar organizzat f’ Wied il-Gœajn fejn gœall-ewwel darba, konna qed immexxu dan is-seminar u mhux biss nipparteçipaw. Kien seminar ta’ importanza anki gœal fatt li jmexxu

Assoçjazzjoni Douzelage

d-delegazzjonijiet kien hemm il-President tad-Douzelage flimkien mal-Viçi President. Kienu œafna li nnutaw arbli u bnadar minn erba’ pajjiÿi tal-Ewropa œdejn il-Magœluq. U dan propju minœabba li bejn it-18 u l-20 ta’ Marzu, ittella’ dan is-seminar bis-sehem ta’ delegazzjonijiet mill-Polonja, Renju Unit, Latvja u l-Ungerija. Dan is-seminar kien jitratta l-irwol taÿ-ÿgœaÿagœ fil-politka fejn minœabba f’ hekk, kellna diversi persuni minn gœaqdiet politici li mexxew il-workshops. Fost l-oœrajn, kellna l-Gœaqda studenteska Soçjal-Demokratika Pulse u membri mill-Kunsill Lokali taÿ-Ÿgœaÿagœ minn Œal Safi, minœabba li l-membri kollha tal- Kunsill Lokali taÿ-Ÿgœaÿagœ ta’ Wied il-Gœajn kienu kollha indisposti. Kellna fostna l-Onorevoli Chris Agius fejn fid-diskors tiegœu, saœaq fuq l-importanza taÿ-ÿagœÿagœ fit-tmexxija politika minœabba l-ideat tagœhom, l-eneræija li huma joffru u l-ideoloæiji progressivi li gœandhom ikollhom biex imexxu l-komunitajiet ’ il quddiem.

L-gœan ta’ dan is-seminar kien li jipprepara lill-parteçipanti gœall-elezzjonijiet tal-Kumitat taÿ-ÿgœaÿagœ li ser jitwaqqaf f’

Mejju li æej permezz t’elezzjoni biex jinœatar kumitat u Chairperson mill-kandidati kollha. Wied il-Gœajn qed jaspira li jkollu rappreÿentanza f’ dan il-kumitat. B’hekk, inkunu nistgœu nÿidu fil-æid li toffri din l-assoçjazzjoni gœal-lokalità. Apparti minn hekk, tajjeb ngœid li ser issir ukoll elezzjoni gœall-President fejn is-Sindku Mario Calleja hu wieœed mill-kandidati.

Dan is-seminar ma kienx biss informattiv mil-lat politiku imma serva ta’ æid biex naqsmu ma’ œutna l-Ewropej il-kultura Maltija. Saru diversi visti ta’ wiri marbuta mal-Æimgha l-Kbira, kif ukoll dawriet f’ diversi postijiet storiçi f’pajjiÿna. Id-diskussjonijiet iservu gœal œafna æid aktar milli naœsbu, fil-fatt tajna çans lill-President tal-Gœaqda Muÿikali Sant’ Anna, is-Sur Joe Micallef, biex jitkellem magœhom fuq il-œidma tal-gœaqda fid-dawl tat-tradizzjonijiet Maltin. Apparti minn hekk, saret laqgœa formali bejnu, u t-tmexxija tal-lokalitajiet parteçipanti fejn iddiskutew il-possibiltà li tittella’ attività internazzjonali bis-sehem ta’ dawn il-lokalitajiet, fostom ta’ Wied il-Gœajn.

On the 11th of May, a delegation from the Local Council of Marsaskala left

to Tryavna in Bulgaria, to take part in the annual symposium of Douzelage. In this association, Marsascala represents Malta in the town twinning union with 27 European towns. With the aspiration to get closer to the administrative structures of this organization, I was nominated by the Marsascala Local Council as a young potential candidate as a youth representative on General meetings. For this conference Marsascala Mayor Mr. Mario Calleja, and councillors Mr. Sandro Gatt and Mr. Charlot Mifsud were also present.

After the inauguration with an informative exhibition on the 27 localities and the official speeches, delegates took part in an important vote which welcomed another member within the association. With great satisfaction, Rovinj, from Croatia, became a new member of the Douzelage.

In the main square we held an exhibition of handicrafts, where we were able to explain these traditions to the Bulgarian public. After lunch, I led a

workshop for the delegates on the role of youth in Europe and politics in general. The delegations were invited to a cultural and folk concert together with the people of Tryavna. After lunch, we followed a spectacle of light, laser and fireworks from the main square, while Tryavna’s history was being explained.

Saturday morning was an important day for the Maltese delegation. The day started with the election process to elect a youth committee. After speeches from seven young candidates,the room was closed and the process began. Every young person had the chance to choose only one from the seven candidates to take the leadership of the committee.

L-Irritazzjoni fl-Intestini (IBS) hija disturb fl-imsaren. Din tikkawÿa wæigœ fiÿ-ÿaqq,

bugœawwieæ jew nefœa, u anke dijarea jew konstipazzjoni. Din tkun problema persistenti gœal tul ta’ ÿmien, peró hemm numru ta’ soluzzjonijiet sabiex jittaffew is-sintomi. L-IBS hija kemmxejn komuni, iÿda s-sintomi f’œafna pazjenti huma tant minimi li ma jmorrux gœand it-tabib tagœhom gœall-kura.

Dawn l-istess sintomi jistgœu jmorru gœal aœjar jew gœal agœar weœidhom minn æurnata gœal oœra, peró ma jmorrux gœal agœar maÿ-ÿmien. L-IBS ma tikkaæunax mard iktar serju, bœalma huma infjammazzjoni fl-intestini, jew kankru.

Mhux eÿattament magœruf x’jikkaæuna dan it-tip t’irritazzjoni, tant li l-kawÿi tal-IBS jistgœu jkunu differenti minn persuna gœal oœra. L-IBS jista’ jseœœ minœabba jew xi problemi fin-nervituri ta’ bejn il-moœœ u l-organi tad-diæestjoni, problemi minn

çertu ikel assorbit, stress u ansjetà, tibdil fl-ormoni jew anke çertu tipi ta’ anti-bijotiçi, li kollha jistgœu jwasslu gœal xi wæigœ jew sintomi oœra. Nies ibatu bl-IBS jistgœu jkollhom imsaren sensittivi, jew problemi ta’ moviment fil-muskoli tal-imsaren.

Is-sintomi prinçipali tal-IBS huma wæigœ ta’ ÿaqq b’kostipazzjoni jew dijarea, peró sintomi oœra jistgœu jkunu nefœa, mukus ÿejjed mal-ippurgar, u sensazzjoni li ma tkunx ippurgajt sew.

Œafna nies li jkollhom l-IBS ikollhom waqtiet ta’ kostipazzjoni u waqtiet oœra ta’ dijarea. Gœal œafna, jkollhom attakki aktar minn waœda milli minn oœra.

Minœabba li ma jkunx hemm problema strutturali fl-imsaren, œafna nies jistgœu jaœsbu li s-sintomi tal-IBS ikunu jew frott l-immaæinazzjoni, però fil-verità l-problema tkun hemm. L-uæigœ, dwejjaq fl-imsaren u n-nefœa hemm ikunu ta’ vera.

Œafna drabi, it-tabib jistabilixxi li hemm irritazjoni fl-imsaren mis-sintomi. Jistaqsi sew dwar is-sintomi, saœœtek fil-passat, u jagœmillek eÿami fiÿiku. F’kaÿi oœra, jistgœu jsiru testijiet iktar speçifiçi bœalma huma eÿami tal-ippurgar, jew anke tad-demm. Dawn jgœinu sabiex it-tabib ikun jista’ jeskludi xi tip ta’ mard ieœor li qed jikkawÿawlek is-sintomi.

IS-SINTOMI PRINÇIPALI TAL-IBS HUMA:• Tibdil fil-moviment tal-intestini• Nefœa fl-istonku u gass eççessiv• Uæigœ fuq in-naœa t’isfel fiÿ-ÿaqq, • Muku ÿejjed fl-ippurgar.

Huwa iktar probabbli li persuna tbati mill-IBS jekk ikollha dawn is-sintomi frekwenti gœal madwar sitt xhur, jew kellek uæigœ ta’ ÿaqq gœal tlett ijiem fi tlett xhur wara xulxin, filwaqt li jkollok tnejn minn dawn:• L-uæigœ ibatti meta tipporga• L-uæigœ ikun relatat ma’ kemm-il darba

tipporga• L-uæigœ ikun relatat mat-tip u

konsistenza tal-ippurgar.

TIBDIL FIL-ŒIDMA TAL-IMSARENPazjenti jsofru mill-IBS isofru minn

tibdil inkonsistenti tal-moviment tal-imsaren. Tnejn jew aktar mill-effetti jistgœu jkunu:• Il-moviment tal-imsaren jista’ jseœœ

iktar minn qabel (dijarea) jew inqas (kostipazzjoni), pereÿempju, iktar minn tliet darbiet f’æurnata jew inqas minn tliet darbiet f’æimgœa.

• L-ippurgar jista’ jvarja ukoll fid-daqs jew il-konsistenzja. Jista’ jkun iebes u ÿgœir, irqiq daqs lapes, jew maœlul u bl-ilma.

• Il-mod kif tipporga jinbidel. Tœoss uæigœ, jew bÿonn ta’ malajr, jew tœossok li gœadek ma lestejtx.

• Jkun hemm nefœa jew gass æol-imsaren.

• Uæigœ fil-parti t’isfel taÿ-ÿaqq.

IS-SINTOMI BARRA MIŸ-ŸAQQPersuni li jsofru mill-IBS xi kultant

jistgœu jsofru ukoll minn sintomi li ma jaffetwawx l-intestini, bœal ma huma:• Ansjetà, jew Dipressjoni• Gœeja kbira.• Uæigœ ta’ ras.• Togœma qarsa fil-œalq.• Uæigœ fid-dahar.• Nuqqas t’irqad (insomnia), mhux

kawÿa tas-sintomi tal-IBS.• Problemi sesswali, bœal uæigœ waqt

l-att sesswali u anke nuqqas ta’ œajra sesswali.

• Tbiddil fir-ritmu tal-qalb (Tœoss li l-qalb tilfet r-ritmu, jew anke tferfir fil-qalb).

• Problemi fl-awrina (Jista’ jkollok bÿonn uræenti u frekwenti biex tagœmel l-awrina, problemi biex tibda tagœmel l-awrina, jew anke problemi biex tbattal il-buÿÿieqa tal-awrina).

Dawn is-sintomi frekwentament iseœœu wara l-ikel, waqt ÿminijiet stressanti, jew anke waqt il-menstruwazzjoni.

PREVENZJONIÆeneralment hija diffiçli li tippreveni din

l-irritazzjoni fl-intestini (IBS). Però kura tiegœek inniffsek tista’ tnaqqas l-effetti u ttawwal iÿ-ÿmien bejn attakk u ieœor. Kura tiegœek innifsek tinkludi li tieqaf tpejjep, tnaqqas il-kaffeina, tixrob aktar ilma, naqqas l-istress u eÿerçizzju adekwat.

Huwa importanti li tevita l-konsum ta’ ikel li jistgœu jagœmlu s-sintomi agœar, dan jgœin sabiex ittaffi l-kondizzjoni tiegœek.

Plakka kommemorattiva u tœawwil ta’ siæar taÿ-ÿebbuæ

Kien nhar il-Œadd l-1 ta’ Mejju meta æewwa Marsaskala æew fostna

persuni distinti, mill-Ordni Ospitaljera ta’ Æerusalemm, fosthom il-Gran Prijur, il-Kavallier Richard Comyns li huwa wkoll Lord of Ludston fl-Iskozja, Leopold N.Nisnoni Sultan tal-Indoneÿja u l-Kançillier tar-Re Kigeli V tal-Irwanda flimkien maç- çermen tal-Fondazzjoni tal-Ordni ta’ San Lazzru f’Malta il-Kavallier Massimo Ellul. Tajjeb ngœid li jiena wkoll nagœmel parti minn din l-ordni fil-kariga ta’ Kavallier. Din l-ordni hija fondazzjoni li tagœmel tant æid lil dawk vulnerabbli u b’diÿabbiltà, u dawk milquta minn mard terminali. Twaœœlet plakka komemorattiva wara ç-çerimonja simbolika li saret.

Œadna l-okkaÿjoni wkoll biex nibdlu s-siæar li kien hemm madwar il-piçç tal-boççi. Dawn kienu qed jagœmlu œsara kbira lin-nies li jiffrekwentaw l-inœawi ta’ Ænien Sant’ Anna. Flokhom tœawlu siæar taÿ-ÿebbuæ.

Wara li lestejt l-artiklu tiegœi, œassejt li kelli nkellem lil

persuna responsabbli minn dan il-fuljett biex tagœtini ftit iÿjed spazju. Ma stajtx ma niktibx xi œaæa fuq il-Kappillan il-ædid Dun Roderick Camilleri u l-mewt tal-mibki Alfred Debono.

Nibda biex nagœti merœba lill-Kappillan il-ædid Dun Roderick Camilleri li beda uffiçjalment il-œidma tiegœu fostna. Kien pjuttost eÿatt is-Sibt 16 ta’ April meta æie fostna l-Iskalin l-Eççellenza Tiegœu Monsinjur Arçisqof Charles Scicluna biex b’hekk gœadda ç-çwievet tal-parroçça tagœna uffiçjalment lill-Kappillan ÿagœÿugœ u mimli eneræija Dun Roderick Camilleri. Kienet çerimonja sabiœa immens u jidher li bi preÿenza liema bœala, Dun Roderick Camilleri diæà daœal fil-qlub tal-Iskalin. Jiena gœan-nom tal-lokal kollu nawgurawlu

œidma bl-akbar suççess. Jiena kelli x-xorti wkoll niltaqa’ miegœu, u jidher li ser naœdmu flimkien gœall-æid tagœna lkoll.

Ma nistax b’dieqa kbira ma nitkellimx fuq it-telfa kbira li æarrabna wara l-mewt ta’ Alfred Debono pjuttost jumejn wara l-pussess tal-Kappillan. Persuna

li œadem qatigœ gœal-lokal tagœna fejn tidœol kultura. Persuna li minkejja ma kienx jidher œafna iÿda dejjem kellu t-tmun f’idejh fejn jidœlu organizzazzjonijiet ta’ attivitajiet kulturali. Kien jibgœatli tlieta jew erba’ e-mails kuljum u jÿommni infurmat fuq kollox. Kemm kien jgœidl, "Mario inti ma taqrax kollox."

Kien hemm drabi fejn kien ikollu raæun gœax ma kontx inlaœœaq. Iÿda niftakar kont ngœidlu "Flok l-e-mails ejja sa œdejja". Baqa’ gœaddej sal-aœœar. Minkejja li dan l-aœœar

kien ftit magœdur xorta waœda kien jaf x’kien gœaddej. Sal-aœœar nifs tiegœu fuq is-sodda tal-mewt kien jhewden jekk gœaddewlix il-karti kollha. Persuna maœbub minn kulœadd. Kemm tani u gœaddieli pariri. Kemm kien iÿomm il-kwiet, anke meta xi œadd ma kienx japprezza x-xogœol tiegœu. Persuna ÿgœira fl-istatura tal-æisem tiegœu, iÿda b’qalb kbira u dejjem determinat li jasal. Fil-fatt qatt ma niftakar li kellna xi attività li marret œaÿin. Kif ngœidu imut Papa u jitwieled ieœor. Jiddispjaçini ngœid li bœal Alfred mhux ser ikollna.

Œabib striœ fis-sliem u nassigurak li ser tibqa’ magœna dejjem. Fil-fatt hemm il-œsieb illi il-bandli taÿ- Ÿonqor meta jitlesta jiæi msemmi gœalik biex niftakru fil-æid li gœamilt fil-lokal tagœna.

Mario Calleja - Sindku

œidma bl-akbar suççess. Jiena kelli x-xorti wkoll niltaqa’ miegœu, u jidher li ser naœdmu flimkien gœall-æid tagœna lkoll.

nitkellimx fuq it-telfa kbira li æarrabna wara l-mewt ta’ Alfred Debono pjuttost jumejn wara l-pussess tal-Kappillan. Persuna
