AVVIŻ LILL-PUBBLIKU - DUMPING ILLEGALI WARA L-KNISJA
Qed jiġi nnutat li ripetutamenT qed jintrema skart fiż-żona ta’ wara l-Knisja Parrokjali.
Il-Kunsill Lokali jikkundanna bil-qawwa dan l-aġir irresponsabbli u jfakkar li tali rimi ta’ skart jikkostitwixxi dumping illegali.
Ninfurmaw lir-residenti li l-LESA u l-Pulizija ġew infurmati b’din is-sitwazzjoni u qed jittieħdu l-passi meħtieġa.
Għalhekk, nappellaw lir-residenti kollha biex iżommu l-borża tal-iskart tagħhom wara l-bieb tagħhom u joħorġuha biss fil-ħinijiet u fil-ġranet stabbiliti għall-ġbir tal-iskart.
Infakkru li kull min jinqabad jarmi l-iskart illegalment jista’ jeħel multi kbar skond kif tipprovdi l-liġi. Napprezzaw il-koperazzjoni ta’ kulħadd sabiex inżommu l-lokalità tagħna ta’ Ghajnsielem nadifa u miżmuma tajjeb.

🇬🇧 PUBLIC NOTICE - ILLEGAL DUMPING AT THE AREA BEHIND THE CHURCH
It is being noted that waste is repeatedly being dumped in the area behind the Parish Church.
The Local Council strongly condemns this irresponsible behaviour and reminds residents that such disposal of waste constitutes illegal dumping. LESA and the Police have been duly notified of this situation and the necessary action is being taken.
We therefore appeal to all residents to place their waste bags outside their residence only and on the designated days and hours for waste collection.
We remind everyone that anyone caught dumping waste illegally may be subject to substantial fines in accordance with the law.

POEŻIJA
Miktuba mill-Kav Joe M Attard fil-Jum li fih Spiro Cauchi għadda għall-ħajja aħjar -7 ta’ Settembru 2026

--------------------------

Kien wieħed mill-ħbieb li kelli
Ġo Għajnsielem magħruf sew;
Bqajt imnikket kif ħabbruli
Ma’ kamarti ħbaru ġrew!

Lil Spiro kont ilni nafu –
Kien għadu mat-Telefon,
Lil kulħadd jaqdi mill-koxxa
Bi tbissima w galantom!

Iżda meta il-mewt tħabbat
Ma ġġibx ħniena lil wiċċ ħadd;
Tgħix kemm tgħix minn hawn trid titlaq,
Fl-aħħar tasal ta’ kulħadd!

Lil Spiro niftakru jħabrek
Fil-Banda ta’ San Gużepp
Idoqq numru ta’ strumenti
Kien bniedem b’qalbu tad-deheb.

Jiena ċert lil Ta’ Loreto
Tistennih sabha fil-bieb
Biex iddaħħlu ġewwa l-Ġenna
Fejn iltaqa’ ma’ tant ħbieb.

Soft spot kellu għat-Taljani
Għal-lingwa u l-muż’ka tagħhom
Għalih jiġu qabel kollox
U żgur xejn ma jibdel magħhom!

Fuq l-accordion u l-kitarra
Kien iferraħ lix-xjuħ tagħna
Ferħan jarahom jitbissmu
Għaliex b’hekk kull qalb tistagħna!

U għal qalbu ħafna kellu
Il-karozzi u l-muturi
Isebbħu dawn kienu ‘l ħajtu
Bħalma ġnien isebbħu l-fjuri!

Pożittiv u karismatiku
Fuq fommu dejjem tbissima
Iferraħ kulfejn kien jirfes
Imżejjen b’qalb hekk ħanina

Tibki żgur it-telfa tiegħu
Insibu ‘l martu anzjana
Li f’ħajtu għamel minn kollox
Biex iżomm dejjem ferħana!

Ma’ din b***a familjari
U ġirien u qraba w ħbieb
Illi jafu x’telfa ġarrbu
U f’tagħhom se jibqa l-ħsieb!

Ta’ insara d-dmir għandna
Li nitolbu għall-mejtin
O Mulej lil Spiro daħħal
Fix-Xirka tal-Qaddisin!

Il-Kunsill Lokali Għajnsielem jesprimi s-sogħba kbira tiegħu għat-telfa tas-Sur Spiro Cauchi, 90, rebbieħ tal-Premju Ġieħ Għajnsielem fl-2002.

Spiru Cauchi, imwieled fl-20 ta’ Settembru 1935 f’Għajnsielem, huwa mużiċist, kantant u personalità magħrufa f’Għawdex li jdoqq diversi strumenti fosthom il-vjolin, il-klarinett, il-chitarra, u l-akordjin. Tul il-karriera twila tiegħu, huwa daqq ma’ diversi orkestri f’Malta u f’Għawdex, akkumpanja kantanti famużi bħal Tony Dallara u Orietta Berti, u kien parti minn gruppi popolari bħall-Gozo Musketeers. Barra mill-kontribut artistiku u l-passjoni tiegħu għall-mużika Taljana u t-table-tennis, Spiru kien attiv fil-Banda San Ġużepp ta’ Għajnsielem mill-1966 bħala klarinettest (fejn baqa attiv sal-aħħar fejn probabilment kien l-ixjaħ bandist f'Malta u Għawdex) u serva wkoll bħala President bejn l-2005 u l-2006. Huwa ġie onorat mill-Kunsill Lokali bil-Premju Ġieħ Għajnsielem fit-8 ta' Diċembru 2002. Fil-Covid-19 huwa uża t-talenti mużikali tiegħu sabiex jferraħ kemm online u anke mill-gallerija tiegħu fi Pjazza Indipendenza. Baqa sal-aħħar ġranet ta' ħajtu jżur lil anzjani u morda u matul l-aħħar ġranet tiegħu l-sptar huwa wkoll baqa jallegra lil pazjenti preżenti permzz tal-pjanu u l-accordion.

Nirringrazzjawh tas-servizz u l-kontribut tiegħu lejn il-lokalità tagħna matul is-snin.

Kondoljanzi lil familja kollha.

Strieħ fis-Sliem Spiro!

🇬🇧

The Għajnsielem Local Council expresses its deep sorrow over the passing of Mr. Spiro Cauchi, 90, winner of the Ġieħ Għajnsielem Award in 2022.

Spiro Cauchi, born on September 20, 1935, in Għajnsielem, was a musician, singer, and well-known personality in Gozo who played several instruments, including the violin, clarinet, guitar, and accordion. Throughout his long career, he played with various orchestras in Malta and Gozo, accompanied famous singers such as Tony Dallara and Orietta Berti, and was part of popular groups like the Gozo Musketeers. Apart from his artistic contribution and passion for Italian music and table tennis, Spiro was active in the St. Joseph Band of Għajnsielem from 1966 as a clarinetist (where he remained active until the end, likely making him the oldest band member in Malta and Gozo) and also served as President between 2005 and 2006. He was honored by the Local Council with the Ġieħ Għajnsielem Award on December 8, 2022. During Covid-19, he used his musical talents to bring joy both online and from his balcony in Independence Square. Right up until the final days of his life, he visited the elderly and sick, and during his last days in the hospital, he continued to cheer up fellow patients using the piano and accordion.

We thank him for his service and contribution to our locality over the years.

Condolences to the entire family.

Rest in peace, Spiro!
