It was indeed a great relief to read and hear that the minister for the environment has finally realised and accepted that “90 per cent of flowering plants depended directly on pollinator species to reproduce, including many fruit trees and crops” and “some 35 per cent of the world’s food and over half of human beings’ diet of fats and oils came from pollinated crops”. Very good, congratulations for such vision.
This has filled many environmentalists with high hopes and optimism, as much as a couple who see their child make the first step! Although the concept behind such a project is encouraging, its implementation, however, leaves much to be desired.
City Council does away with term limits
April 28, 2021BERLIN On Monday, April 19, the Berlin City Council announced disbursements from April 6 through April 19. The total cash amount was $988,803.87. The Council voted all in favor to pay bills as recommended.
A Resolution was tabled in regard to 2021-13R Night Vision. A Public Hearing on this will take place on May 3, 2021.
City Manager James Wheeler gave his report. He discussed communication from Kevin LaChapelle of Industrial Protection Systems, IPS.
Wheeler explained, IPS is the vendor who provided the new self contained breathing apparatus to our fire department. It is nice of Mr. LaChapelle to take the time to note his very positive experience at the Berlin Fire Department.
For years, Ronnie Gauci has almost been a fixture at Top of the World in Għargħur as he unfailingly volunteers his time tending to the scenic landscape.
But now, instead of planting flowers and trees and working on his stone creations, he has been hacking away at the embellishments – which he describes as “part of me” – under Planning Authority orders.
The heart-wrenching sight of Gauci destroying his life’s work and uprooting “illegal” plants, rather than watering them, has sparked outrage and saddened the many who frequent the area.
Joggers, strollers and picnickers have stopped to express their sympathy.
