Tabelli w sinjali

Dan l-aœœar fil-lokalita tagœna grazzi gœall approvazzjoni mill-Kunsill qed jitwaœœlu diversi tabelli mill-Kuntrat-tur preÿenti. Tabelli li qabel qatt ma kellna speçjalment dawk l-aktar edu-kattivi rigward il-œmieæ tal-klieb biex kemm jista jkun ikollna lokal aktar nadif, oœrajn biex nipparkjaw il-vetturi tagœna b’aktar prudenza lejn minn jo-qgœod viçin, jiæifieri biex nipparkjaw il-vettura bil-bumper ta’ quddiem il-æewwa biex b’hekk nevita foga ta car-bon monoxide æewwa d-djar tagœna. Oœrajn tat-traffiku biex nigwidaw aktar lis-sewwieqa fil-lokalita’ tagœna.Bis-saœœa tal-œaddiema tal-IPSL, mis-lufa lill Kunsill, qed issir il-manutenz-joni tant meœtieæa fuq is-sinjali tat-to-roq, li minn ÿmien gœal ÿmien ikollna nagœhmlu minœabba li jiççaraw jew jitœassru bl-uÿu. Minhiex ser noqgœod insemmi t-toroq li saru gœax ma ni-spiçça qatt pero’ ninsab perswas li dan ix-xogœol qed jintlaqa’ tajjeb minnkom.

Ÿewæ Progæetti proposti biex jitpoææew fuq fast track minn

Gvern Ædid Laburista

Wieœed mix-xogœolijiet li qed nagœmel fil-Kunsill, huwa li naqra kull kor-rispondenza li tasal fil-Kunsill biex b’hekk inkun naf x’inhu jigri. Dan l-aœœar waslet ittra mingœand il-Partit Laburista fejn tgœid li meta jkun fil-Gvern, itellaq, fl-ewwel mitt jum tal-Gvern ÿewæ progetti ta’ kull Kunsill Lo-kali, sabiex dawn il-proæetti jitpoææew fuq il-fast track u jitwettqu mill-aktar fis possibbli. Jien inœoss li proposti bœal dawn, gejjin min fejn gejjin, ghandhom ikunu milqugœa b’idejn miftuœa minn kull Kunsill u dan minœabba l-fatt illi minn proposta bœal din gœandhom xi jgawdu ir-residenti tal-lokalita tagœna, irrispetivament mill-kulur politiku li jœaddnu. Proæetti li minkejja li l-Kun-silli Lokali ingœataw status ta’ Gvern Lokali, u gœandhom çerta awtonomija, xorta ma jistgœux jaœdmu b’mod sepa-rat minn mal-Gvern Centrali, minœabba l-limitazzjoni ta’ poteri eÿekuttivi u ta’ riÿorsi, b’mod speçjali tal-finanzi.Fil-laqgœa tal- Kunsill numru 25 li saret propju nhar it-23 t’Awissu jien ressaqt gœal approvazzjoni tal-Kunsill ÿewæ proæetti li œassejt li huma ta’ prioita gœall lokal tagœna. Il-proæetti sottomes-si huma dawn li æejjin:-parkeææ œdejn l-iskola Primarja Ma-donna tal-Mensija A: Illi l-art li bœal issa hemm ÿdingata œdejn l-iskola Primarja, tigi livellata u mogœtija wiçç kif jixraq bit-tarmac, biex tintuÿa bœala parkeææ.

Isir dawl adekwat bis-sinjali ma l-art biex ikunu ta gwida gœal karrozzi li jip-parkjaw. L-iskop ta’ dan il-parkeææ ser ikun gœal diversi raæunijiet. Primarja-ment biex neliminaw il-konæestjoni ta’ traffiku æo Vjal ir-Riœan, waqt id-dœul u œruæ mill l-iskola primarja. It-tieni biex jintuÿa minn dawk kemm residen-ti kif ukoll li mhumiex li jiffrekwentaw il-ground tal-futball biswit dan l-ist-ess parkeææ maœsub, b’hekk inkunu qed insolvu pjaga oœra lir-residenti li joqgœodu Triq Kampanella, Triq Sar-dinella u œafna oœrajn fil-viçinanzi. Jitnaqqas il-œmieæ li jintefa minn dawk in-nies irresponsabbli f’din iz-zona. Fl-aœœarnett hemm œsieb biex isir il-monti tant mixtieq mir-residenti Æwanniÿi.Sala komunitarja/headquarters gœall lis-Scouts. Bœal ma kullœadd jaf bœal issa l-Kunsill jospita d-Daycare Cen-tre fl-uffiçini tal-Kunsill, Œafna jaqblu wkoll li issa, peress li n-nies zdiedu, u qegœdin ukoll itellfu l-œidma tal-Kun-sill, dan m’gœadux loku hemm. Ghal-hekk œassejt il-bzonn li nressaq progett ieœor ta’ sala komunitarja gœal dan il-gœan. Il-post indikat huwa æo Triq il-Æewza kantuniera ma’ Triq iÿ-Ÿebbuæ, eÿatt œdejn il-gibjun. Dan il-post, li l-entratura tiegœu ser tkun minn Triq il-Æewza gœandu jkun mgœammar bil-façilitajiet kollha bœal kçina zgœira u oœrajn sanitarji gœal kumdita’ ta’ kull minn jattendi fih. Abbinat ma dan il-proæett jinbena sular ieœor bl-entratura prinçipali tkun minn Triq iÿ-Ÿebbug, separat mis-sala msemmija fuq. L-is-kop ta’ din il-binja ikun gœal uÿu ta tal-scout group li gœandna f’San Gwann st-ess, biex ikompli jwettaq ix-xogœol tant siewi tal-iscouts mat-tfal tagœna.Jekk wieœed jinnota l-proæetti li ressaqt nolqtu kull strata tas-soçjeta tagœna, u forsi gœalhekk il-Kunsill mill-ew-wel tagœni l-approvazzjoni meœtieæa. Bœalissa qed isiru l-pjanti mill perit tal-Kunsill, biex fil-jiem li æejjin nagœmlu

l-laqgœat meœtieæa biex niddiskutu kull dettal ma’ l-Aministrazzjoni tal-Partit Laburista.

Gœeÿieÿ Æwanniÿi Insellmilkom,

Issa li l-istaæun tas-sajf kwazi spiçça, gœalkemm is-sœana donna ma tridx tgœaddi, nistedinkom biex flimkien naraw fejn morna tajjeb u fejn stajna morna aœjar u xi stajna gœamilna u m’gœamilnix.

Huwa veru li fix-xhur tas-sajf jiæu jit-gœallmu l-Ingliÿ partita studenti hija œaæa tajba pero’ ma nistgœux ma nino-tawx il-vandaliÿmu li jœallu minn fejn jgœaddu. Eÿempju kull minn jgœaddi mit-triq li minn Paceville tghaddi gœal wied il-kbir u Triq il-Falkun u tibqa’ sejjer gœat-toroq tal-madwar, œruq ta’ skips meta mhux ukoll in-eœœulhom il-brejkijiet u jitfawhom gœan-nieÿla. Periklu kbir gœal min ikun æej mid-direzzjoni opposta bil-karozza, tabelli tat-toroq imkissrin u mdawrin, karrozzi private bil-mera mkissra u mibruxin. Nistgœu nibqaw sejrin hekk.

Il-Pulizija mmexxija mill-Ispettur Abdilla ÿgur qed jagœmel dmira sew lilna l-Æwanniÿi li meta naraw dan it-tip ta’ vandaliÿmu nirrapurtaw lill-Pulizija.

Il-Festa tagœna

Kif tafu fix-xahar t’Awissu ççelebra-jna il-festa tal-parroçça tagœna taœt it-titlu tal-Madonna ta’ Lourdes. Mill-att reliæjuz fl-opinjoni tiegœi ma setgœatx tkun aœjar. Kienet æimgœa li œadu sehem kemm l-gœaqdiet kollha tal-parroçça nkluÿ il-morda u t-tfal kif ukoll il-Kor tal-Parroçça mmexxi mis-Surmast is-Sur Raymond Storace.

Flimkien ma’ œutna l-Patrijiet Franæiskani gœoæobhom jonorawna bil-preÿenza tal-Provincjal Patri Ales-sandro u Monsinjur Arçisqof Patri Pawlu Cremona li wara l-funzjoni ttieœdu ritratti mal-æemgœa. F’isem il-kunsill nixtieq nirringrazzja lil kull minn ta’ sehmu biex il-festa tirnexxi. Speçjalment lill-Kumitat tal-Banda u lill-Kumitat ta’ l-Armar tas-sagrifiççju li jagœmlu s-sena kollha. Kif ukoll lill-Puizija u lil kull min gœen biex il-festa tkun suççess.

HISTORY OF SAN ÆWANN NURSERYHistory of the San Gwann NurseryHaving a football nursery in San Gwann had been the dream of many people from this locality, however there was very little anyone did at that time to realize this dream, only until February of 1993. At that time Charles Flores, better known by many as Charlie ta’ l-Ambrose organized an inter-league for the boys of this locality and it’s vicinity. This league turned out to be a very successful one, and many a young man had shown tremendous potential and a passion for the game, prompting Charles to contact the then President of the se-nior team, a certain Mr. Agius, and discuss with him the idea of opening a youth nursery at San Gwann. Chris-topher Sant, the current Secretary of the Nursery joined these two people and together they laid the founda-tions. Later on that year the President and Secretary of San Gwann FC Of-ficially applied to the Malta Football Association for them to officially au-thorize the opening of the Nursery.The Nursery was officially inaugu-rated on the 23rd of November 1993, and Edgar Tonna was the first coach to be employed at San Gwann. Since that day forward the club went from strength to strength. In 1994 we saw our first international guests arrive, when we hosted an un-der 18 team from the Czech Republic’ second largest city Brno. This team played a number of friendly match-es in Malta, including one against the national team, and they were so impressed with the way we hosted them that they invited our team for a reciprocal visit, which was duly ac-

cepted, and on that same year, the San Gwann Nursery, barely a year into its inception was participating in it’s first International tournament in the Czech Republic. 1994 also saw our first inclusion in the Youth Leagues organized by the YFA.The following year our Nursery par-ticipated with two teams in a tourna-ment in Palermo, where the under 12 team ended up ninth and the under 10 won their section. Later on that year the first tournament was orga-nized by the Nursery, with the par-ticipation of 10 teams, two of which were from San Gwann. The A team won the tournament, winning nine and drawing the other game, to end up unbeaten. This tournament paved the way for the committee to organize the first international tournament in San Gwann. This was organized for boys aged under 11, and twelve teams participated in it. The first tournament was won by Boby Brno from the Czech Republic. Our teams also progressed well in our second year of participation in the YFA League, where our boys nar-rowly missed promotion to a higher division in the second year of run-ning.The second International Tourna-ment in 1996 attracted the interest of local media, and the participation of more international teams, and the ex-posure of the San Gwann boys went further still in that summer, when a team of boys from our under 13 team visited the Czech Republic for a train-ing camp there, and later went up to Sweden, where they participated in

the Gothia Cup. Having qualified for the second phase of the tournament, our boys were unlucky to be drawn against the home team, where they eventually lost on penalties.Then in August of the same year a team made up of under 11 boys went to Hungary to participate in a tourna-ment there. Again the team did well, managing to win four of their five games and eventually losing out in the semi-final.Season 96-97 continued to show the progress the San Gwann Nursery had made. Our two teams managed to win their respective YFA leagues, and our under 13 managed to reach the final of the B’kara International Tournament.The Third International Tournament saw our under 11 team make it to the final, only to lose to a Yugoslav team. Also in thet same year, our under 10’s went to Licata and the under 14 vis-ited the Czech Republic.And the story goes on and on! Ably guided by a group of dedicated indi-viduals, the Youth Football Nursery in San Gwann flourished and today, looking back at the modest begin-nings of our history, one can only say with pride that the San Gwann Nurs-ery has come a long way, a very long way.Today the San Gwann Youth Football Nursery is one of the most respected and successful nurseries in Malta, having also produced a number of talented youngsters, some of whom have also made it to the National Team. Today the Nursery operates one of the finest synthetic pitches in Malta, offering it’s members safe, modern and effective training facili-ties in all the recognized categories in youth football available locally. All coaches at San Gwann are qualified and an ongoing development policy ensures that further training to our staff is available.

runners of San Gwann football club (by kind courtesy of Carmel Baldacchino. This word-by-word article appeared on The Times issue of July 20 th 2006, and is featured in the popular Shad-ows from the Past articles). The birth of Football in San Gwann, or Imsierah, as it was called in the 60s, goes back to the late 40s. One day in 1949, a football enthusiast named Anthony and his brother Nenu, formed the amateur club St. John’s FC in a place known as San Gwann tal-Gharghar. In those days, San Gwann was still a tiny village surrounded by Sliema, St. Andrews , Birkirkara and the heights of Madliena. The team, therefore, had to struggle hard to survive in an area where the majority of people sup-ported Sliema Wanderers. It is no wonder that after only a short period it disappeared from the scene. The years passed without any sign of the game being played in the area. Then in 1953, St. John ‘s FC were re-founded this time with more far-reaching ambitions. T h e officials of the new club were faced with the same old difficulties but one by one they managed to surmount them until on May 29 th , 1957 the club made it’s debut in the MAFA Cup against Valletta Knights. St. John’s lost a rather one sided game 5 – 0 but to their credit they did not give up and after only one season in the MAFA they joined the MFA as as-sociate members. S t . John’s had to wait two years before they were finally admitted to the third division. They made their debut on October 18, 1959 with a 2 – 0 vic-tory over Qrendi. DISCIPLINARY RECORD Their stay in the MFA, however, was relatively short but eventful, mostly because of the rowdy behaviour of their supporters. I n six tempestuous seasons in the league, the Saints acquired a reputation of being trouble-makers. It is enough to say that at one time no team would play friendly matches against them and that referees refused to con-trol their matches. I n 1964-65. they finished in the bottom place of the third division. The MFA thanking its lucky stars, took the op-

portunity to refuse them re-election to the league. Finding itself isolated the club was disbanded. In 1967, a group of youngsters who frequented the Oratory of St. Paul’s in Birkirkara came up with the idea of entering a team in the third divi-sion under the name of Imsierah St. Paul’s. At first, the youngsters were faced with a barrage of objections, mostly from the MFA, Birkirkara FC and the Civic Centre of Imsierah. Each party had its own reasons for opposing the proposal but at the end they relent-ed and the team was included in the Third Division. The team’s disciplinary record was much better this time but their performance in the hurly burly athmosphere of the third division left a lot to be desired. Imsierah St. paul’s continued to struggle and in 1968-69, after only a couple of seasons in the league, they were rel-egated. The MFA unfor-tunately, refused them re-election and there was no alternative but to dis-band the team. By this time however, a big change was tak-ing place in Imsierah. Steadilt the tiny village grew into the fair sized town of San Gwann and with this change came a new interest in Football.

In 1972-73 a new team was born under the direction of Pullu Ca-ruana. The club sought and received immediate recognition from the Malta FA. From then on San Gwann Football Club never looked back. Although they did not really take Maltese football by storm, the club was well organised and has had a number of succeses especially in the youth sector of the game where the Saints can boast of having one of the best youth nurseries on the island.

Intervista mal-Ambaxxatrici tal-Lokalita tagœna Miss San Gwann Janice Bezzina

kbira jieœdu pacenzja bina.Taœseb li Kontest bhal dan huwa ta’ beneffiçju gœalik u x’appell tagœmel lill tfajliet oœra li jixtiequ jitœlu f’kompetizzjoni bœal din?Apparti mill-fatt li tagœmel hbieb æodda, tintaqa ma nies differenti minn kull klassi fil-œajja. Pero naœseb l-aktar skop nobli waqt din il-parteçipazzjoni hija li niæbru l-fondi biex ngœinu nies anqas ixxurtjati fil-œajja, u bl-istess flus li nkunu æbarna nkunu nistu nixtru dik ix-œaga biex jkollhom hajja ahjar! Jien dejjem emmint li fil-œajja, aparti li tieœu gost int gœandek tara kif tagœmel biex tgœin lill œaddiehor. Esperjenza tieœu dejjem gœax titgœallem min kul-lœadd. Jien nixtieq nagœaddi messaææ

lill dawk it-tfajliet tal-eta tiegœi biex jagœmlu l-kuraææ meœtieæ biex jieœdu sehem f’kompetizzjonijiet bœal dawn gœax hija esperjenza interessanti biex jisvolgu t-talent tagœhom.Naturalment dalwaqt issir il-Gran Fi-nal ta dan il-kontest Miss Malta tista tghidilna meta u fejn ser issir?L-attivita ser issir fl-10 ta’ Novem-bru æewwa l-Universita ta’ Malta tal-Qroqq, sala Sir Temi Zammit. Jien in-œeææeæ lill dawk kollha nteressati jiæu biex flimkien nieœdu gost u wara kollox nagœtu support lill lokal tagœna. Jien inwiegœed li nagœmel œilti biex dan l-unur jiæi hawn f’San Gwann. Nirrin-grazzja kemm lilek li æejt tagœmilli din l-intervista kif ukoll lill Kunsill Lokali gœas support li qed tagœtuni.

X’kien li œajrek tidœol gœall din lis-sfida (Titolu Miss Malta) fil-œajja tiegœek?Minn dejjem kelli x-xewqa biex nitœol gœal Kontest ta’ Miss Malta. Wara œaf-na appoææ kemm tal-familja tiegœi kif ukoll tal-gœarus tiegœi Carl iddeçidejt li napplika mal-G.M. Productions li jieœu œsieb jorgannizzaw dan il-Kon-test. Gœamilna auditions flimkien minn diversi tfajliet kompetituri bœali minn San Æwann, imma kont jien li æejt magœÿula biex nirrapreÿenta l-lokalita tagœna. Nixtieq nirringrazza min qalbi lill-organizzaturi tal-G.M Productions George u Margaret li b’dedikazzjoni

Jien gœandi kull rispett , imœabba, riko-noxximent u gœozza kbira lejn l-an-zjani. Naf li hawn œafna nies li wkoll gœandhom dan it-twemmin. Mill- bidu li bdejt il- karriera tiegœi fil- qasam tan- Nursing attendejt u kkurajt l-anzjani. Dan gœadni nippratikah. Ilni ngœamel dan ix-xogœol gœal aktar minn 30 sena. Ngœamel dan ix-xogœol minn qalbi u jgœatini soddisfazzjon u serenita.

Nafu aœna ilkoll kemm dawn l-an-zjani œadmu, batew u stinkaw fil-œajja tagœhom biex rabbew familji esemplari, tawna gœajnuna u kienu ta æieœ gœal- pajjiÿna gœalhekk aœna ilkoll gœadna nkunu grati lejhom. Gœadna kull dmir li nœarsuhom, ngœinuhom u nuruhom l-imhabba tagœna. Gœadna nattenduhom sakemm il-œanin alla jsejhilhom.

Meta jien ngœamel ÿjara lill-anzjani f` darhom, f`xi sptar jew xi residenza ta` l-anzjani, inqatta ftit tal-œin nitkellem maghhom u b` dik it-tbissima œelwa fuq wiççhom narhom ferœana, jien ukoll naqsam dak il- ferœ maghhom u nkun kuntenta bil- kumpanija ta` dawn l-

Œidma Soçjali

gœeÿieÿ tagœna. Id-dwejjaq tiegœi hu meta naf li hawn anzjani anqas ixxurtjati li huma minsijin mill-familji tagœhom. Nuqqass ta rispett! Gœalhekk napella biex il-familji ta dawn l-anzjani “ minsija” jgœamlu id-dmir u l-obbligu tagœhom. Nammira œafna lil dawk il- familji li bil-paçenzja u b` kull interess gœall-gœeÿieÿ anzjani tagœhom jieœdu œsiebhom. Æest nobbli ukoll jekk ngœatu l-gœajnuna lil xi anzjani li nafu li jgœixu waœedhom, l-aktar li nkunu noqgœodu qribhom. Ta min jieœu interess gœax nafu biÿÿejjed b` anzjani li nstabu mejta wara æranet li jkunu mietu. Gœalhekk fejn nistgœu ngœatu l-gœajnuna tagœna, inkunu lesti li noffruha. Il-poplu Malti magœruf

gœall-æenerosita tiegœu.

Il-Œaræa li gœamilna fil- 11 ta’Æunju f` Gœawdex kienet ta suççess u appreza-jna l-istedina ta` l-isqof t’Gœawdex L- ET Mons Mario Grech fejn qaddsilna quddiesa fin-12:30pm speçjali gœalina u wara kellna diskussjoni miegœu. Dawn il-hargiet inkomplu nagœmluhom gœall-fatt li dawn qed jiæu apprezatti mir-residenti kollha.

Insellmilkhom, nixtiqilkhom serenita u saœœa.
