The Celts had the Druids, Siberia had its shamans and the Indians have the gurus. What about us in the Western world? Every society needs people to look up to and these individuals do not necessarily have to be in authority, since their very person would instil a sense of awe and respect.
Christianity boasts of its saints. On the island of Gozo, one of these ‘saintly men’ was Nadur priest Dun Mikiel Attard who lived from 1933 to 2004. His life was one rich texture of events, charitable deeds and ‘little miracles’.
A motorcyclist who suffered a five per cent disability when he was hit by a car in Gozo in 2017 has been awarded almost €40,000 in damages after a court concluded that the driver was to blame for the accident.
Presiding over the First Hall of the Civil Court in Gozo, Magistrate Brigette Sultana found that Guido Taddeo Farrugia was solely to blame for the accident that saw the motorcyclist, George Zahra, suffer serious injuries.
The court heard how the traffic accident took place at around 8am on June 15, when Zahra was riding his motorcycle in Triq l-Għarb in Għarb.
