[Goanet-News] The tall tales of Bwana Louie (FN)
The tall tales of Bwana Louie -- REVIEW BY: Frederick Noronha fredericknoro...@gmail.com -- We would sit for long hours at the Cafe Prakash near Panjim's Azad Maidan -- now sadly going through a rough patch, and not as noisy as it once was -- discussing issues. Mostly me listening and the author narrating. One could just provoke Luis with a short question, and expect to be regaled with a long series of detailed anecdotes. Some whispered in soft, almost conspiratorial tones, so much so that you were not sure whether you had just heard right! Luis de Assis Correia is a Goan in his eighties. Like many of that generation, particularly those who had a tryst with the world of migration and diaspora, he has indeed had a colourful past. Ironically enough, our discussions were often about his earlier books relating to the writing of Francisco Luis Gomes, or Goan history going back 10,000 years. The logical question would be: why not a book on the writer's own life? A suggestion or two was all that was needed. In between bouts of health challenges and spending his winters in Benaulim, the London-based Correia has actually come out with a hard-bound memoir. *Winds of Change Across Africa 1958-1969* strikes one as a bit of an understatement for a title. It suggests the book merely describes political change in those tumultuous times. Which it does; but it is much more, in fact. Two examples make this point. One day, Correia casually placed a photograph on the tea-stained table. At first glance, it made no sense. It had a few young African Blacks, and, as one then saw, some Asians. One young man in the picture seemed to be staring, almost fascinated, at the young woman. Turns out that this was the Goan Reita Faria, India's first ever Miss World, on her visit to Africa. If you search hard enough, you could probably find this photo in cyberspace today. The next photo he shared has an even more intriguing story. One can see a long row of young Africans, clad in ill-fitting suits, some holding large envelopes. The travel agency in the background suggests they're about the embark on some long voyage. Correia then went on to explain his role in arranging tickets for this group going as students to the United States, one of whom actually included the father of US President Obama! The envelopes were their x-rays, which they had to undergo some three days before travel, to ensure they were not carriers of tuberculosis while going to the Land of the Free and of Opportunity! In this book, Correia interweaves his own personal story with that of Africa's. A writer bringing himself or herself too much into the story can often act as a failing and detract from the story. But here, one sincerely feels that Correia could have done more to personalise the story, to bring out his own experiences, and to give a hint to the reader back in Goa about the often hidden role played by the Goan diaspora even in the so-called Dark (and, should one say, still despised) continent. Correia, like quite a few other Goans, started off life in the world of travel. After an education at Xavier's Bombay -- an institution which has built so much skills and talent in the Goan community -- he worked for awhile at Air India, and then shifted to Africa. His story of landing at dawn in Africa, and how it fulfilled a 'prediction', gets us off to an interesting start. And he writes (p xi), Within less than three months after my arrival in Nairobi, I was invited by [Kenyan nationalist leader who spearheaded the negotiations for independence] Tom Mboya to handle his own travel arrangements and also those of the African Elected Members for the Lancaster House Conference. By some coincidence, at this very time work is underway on the political memoirs of another Goan who actually attended one of those crucial conference -- blame it for setting postcolonial Africa onto the wrong road, if you wish -- JM Nazareth, who traces his roots to Moira. Winds of... is itself dedicated to Tom Mboya and Pio Gama Pinto, the mostly forgotten rare Goan who took the side of the Black nationalist cause, and post-Independence, and paid with his life for his pro-people, radical politics. In Part I of this book, we accompany Correia from Bombay (which he left in June 1958, p 3) to Kenya, Tanganyika and Zanzibar. One gets a hint of what it meant in those times, as someone from colonial Portuguese-ruled Goa, to work in post-Independence India. Correia's tryst with the media (through community newspapers) is interesting, as is his bird's eye view of Africa's politicians. For any Goan expat from Africa, or even just a student of history and politics, his photos are

[Goanet] Left out
Left out TNN | Oct 29, 2014, 12.30 AM IST READ MORE Tiswadi|Times Panchanama|Isidore Domnick Mendis|Cumbharjua|Bridge Isidore Domnick Mendis Surrounded by the villages of Marcela, St Estevam, Corlim and Banastarim, Cumbharjua is a unique village in Tiswadi taluka which, at one point in time, was a peninsula. Around 164 years ago, its western side was excavated for navigation and, from then onwards, it became an island. The Cumbharjua canal is also a famed crocodile habitat and stretches of its canal is home to the Indian Magar crocodile. Cumbharjua is a name derived from Kumbhars (potters) though hardly any one living on the island pursues this profession today. The island village has a population of 4,878 out which 3,919 are registered voters. Cumbharjua has 12 vaddos including Talap Vaddo, Surchem Bhatt, Goll Vaddo, Tak Vaddo, Malla Vaddo, Zor Cantor, Gavant, Thapah Vaddo, Chaddassseai, Rambuvan Vaddo, Khaddap Vaddo and Gaundalim. Of late, an element of uneasiness is brewing up among locals of Cumbharjua. They feel left out and completely let down by the state government which they say has not provided a direct access road to Cumbharjua to two bridges under construction; the Cumbharjua -Gaundalim bridge and the Cumbharjua-Marcela bridge. The soon-to-be ready bridges will not be favorable to us, Cumbharjuakars. It is an irony that our villagers sacrificed so much of their 'xhettam' (agricultural fields), but, it has given them no benefits at all, said Shivaji Shet of Khaddap vaddo, son of late freedom fighter Mukund Shet. Government sources say these two new bridges are scheduled to be inaugurated either this year on December 19 or on January 26, 2015. The bridges will decrease the distance between Panaji and Belgaum by 15 km. In the field of sport as our village is bereft of sports facilities; be it a Goa Cricket Association (GCA) or Sports Authority of Goa ( SAG)-owned and maintained cricket ground. The neglect of the village is clearly visible with the construction of the two new bridges in which local consideration has not been given a serious thought. We, too, want to get connected to these bridges from our village and not by using the 2km-long route via Marcel. It is very important to note that these two bridges save time and distance in travelling to Belgaum and other parts of Goa be it Bicholim , Valpoi etc. Even the distance required for travelling to Panaji from Cumbharjua would will get reduced by atleast 7-8km, said Vijay Kumar Shet from Goll vaddo, who, in his higher education days, played for Bombay University as an opening batsman in the years 1972-75. Concurs Suryakant Gawde of Gawant vaddo Access roads are the only way which can allow Cumbharjuakars to use the two bridges. For example, the road at Talap vaddo between the St Francis Xavier Chapel and the old Cumbharjua-Marcela bridge could be used as an access road for the new Cumbharjua-Marcela bridge because this road would not lead to any destruction of any house or property. The panchayat is steadfastly standing behind the demands of villagers. The panchayat will do everything to act as a facilitator if the state government decides on the construction of access road. The local self government is aggrieved too that despite its farmers who have sacrificed over 30,000 sqm of land , they cannot directly use the bridge from their village. The panchayat is with Cumbharjuakars in their demand for the access roads to these bridges, said Cumbharjua sarpanch Suresh Naik. Residents of Gaundalim, however, feel the construction of new bridges will terminate the ferry operations on the canal between mainland of the village and their vaddo. As the ferry service will come to end, parishioners staying on the mainland side of the village will stop coming to the parish church and prefer going to Holy Family Church at Marcel as it will become relatively closer, states Fr Eufemiano Lino de Sa, the parish priest of the 1653-constructed St Blaise Church. MLA Pandurang Madkaikar said, One of the bridges has already been constructed while the other is under construction. Land for the approach road has been acquired by the government though work is yet to begin. +++ Top View The panchayat is with Cumbharjuakars in their demand for the access roads to these bridges:Suresh Naik, sarpanch One of the bridges has already been constructed while the other is under construction.

[Goanet] GFDO Press Statement
GFDO welcomes CM Parrikar's move in taking the initiative to petition the Central Government to make more land available at Dabolim Airport from the Navy for parking of aircraft, and it is hoped that his BJP Party’s government will look kindly upon the fulfilment of this very genuine need of the state. However, it would be in the interests of proper professional planning, if the CM would hand over a long term Master Plan for Dabolim Airport to the Defence Ministry, requesting the total amount of land it would require, rather than approaching it with piecemeal and short term requirements. It would be well for the state government to formulate an all encompassing co-ordinated policy for development of Dabolim Airport to its full potential, considering the fact of its central location, and its fortuitous position in the vicinity of an excellent natural harbour and railway line. In fact, as Mr. Parrikar’s late cabinet minister Matanhy Saldanha wrote on January 2, 1996, “The Goa government has all the legal rights to claim the airport considering the size of Goa. It is fair to request the defence forces to shift from Dabolim to Sea Bird base. The Goa government must stop acting as a stooge of the Central government. It is time the state government should learn to call a spade a spade when the state’s interests are to be protected.” However, in the meantime, GFDO earnestly requests CM Parrikar to fulfil other crying needs of the airport, which are within the reach and in the control of his own government like re notifying the Sy.8/1 Dabolim, which had been previously notified for parking of vehicles and other cityside facilities for Dabolim Airport, and which has been inexplicably handed over to a builder for commercial parking in total and complete contravention of the public interest. It will be recalled that the AAI has already paid a substantial deposit of over Rs.4 crores for this elusive land. Hence it is only ethical on the part of the state government to fulfil its pledge to develop the aviation needs of the state. GFDO also takes the opportunity to place on record the fact that CM Parrikar’s figure on Dabolim’s capacity to handle just 4 million passengers per year as stated by him at Calangute on Tuesday is totally incorrect. According to design figures obtained under RTI from the AAI, the minimum amount of passengers that can be handled by the new expanded Dabolim Airport is 13.65 million per year. The ICAO report predicts 9.27 million passengers for Goa for the year 2035, which Dabolim Airport can comfortably handle. Thus CM Parrikar’s undue haste in implementing the unwarranted Mopa Airport project gives rise to well founded suspicions on the motives of the state government. For GOANS FOR DABOLIM ONLY Fr.

[Goanet] Varca incident
The recent incident in Varca, when tourist taxi drivers allegedly intimidated a Russian representative of a travel company, and demanded that she show them her travel documents is most unfortunate, but quite understandable given the total absence of rule of law in Goa. This is an issue that goes beyond a mere dispute between taxi drivers and tour operators. It is in fact a reflection of the government’s inability or obstinate refusal to inspire a sense of security in Goans by protecting their interests through strict implementation of the law. That is why the sleazy national and global underbelly is descending in droves upon our tiny Goa and carving out apparently impregnable kingdoms for themselves. If the government is soft on international and national lawbreakers, then surely, the message goes out loud and clear to vulnerable Goans that we live in a jungle where it is survival of the fittest.

[Goanet] Fwd: Sporting Clube de Goa take on USC in Durand opener
*Sporting Clube de Goa take on USC in Durand opener* In what is set to be an explosive game, Sporting Clube de Goa will take on United Sports Club in the Durand Cup inaugural quarter final pool B match, at Raia Panchayat ground, Goa, on Wednesday. The kick off time is 3pm and entry to the venue is absolutely free. Sporting Goa’s new marquee signing, Trinidad and Tobago utility player Anthony Wolfe is set to make his long awaited debut for the club. Sporting Goa’s Spanish Coach Oscar Bruzon is banking on good home support as his team is made up of many Goans from the locality. “Beevan D’Mello and Velito Cruz is from Raia, besides Rowllin Borges, Mauvin Borges and Cajetan Fernandes are from the neighbouring Salcete village of Nuvem, so we are drumming up good local support,” remarked Oscar. Oscar is taking the tournament very seriously as he feels the Durand Cup has a prestigious history. “The Durand Cup is the oldest football tournament in Asia and third oldest in the world. We have heard of the tournament in Spain and it has a great history behind it,” enlightened Oscar. Interestingly, Oscar’s first I-League victory as Sporting Goa Coach came against United Sports Club in December 2012. Since then the two clubs have met three times in the I-League, with Sporting Goa winning once more and USC winning the other two encounters. All is set for another gripping match-up between the Goan and Kolkata outfit. *Sporting Clube de Goa 20-man squad for Durand Cup: * *Goalkeepers: *Kamaljeet Singh*, *Ravi Kumar *Defenders: *Keenan Almeida, Rojen Singh, Jovel Martins*, *Chandrashekar Chinta*, *Joyner Lourenco Clemente Joseph, Creson Antao *Midfielders: *Joseph Pereira, Beevan D’Mello, Rowllin Borges, Velito Cruz, Cajetan Fernandes, Royston De Souza, Mauvin Borges *Strikers: *Boima Karpeh*, *Anthony Wolfe*, *Sumeet Passi*, *Victorino Fernandes PHOTO: Sporting Clube de Goa’s Mauvin Borges attempts to drive forward in practice at Don Bosco ground, Panjim on Tuesday.

[Goanet] ANOTHER WATER SPORTS PROJECT AT AIVAO CAN CREATE SUCH HAZARDS
Dear Chief Minister of Goa Manohar Parrikar Hon CM, Since you have already inaugurated recently a Water Sports by National Institute Authority - NIWS which is a part of this project under construction at Aivao Caranzalem, the residents fear that in future such accidents may occur if this project is completed. Also it tends for a traffic hazard at Caranzalem- D.Paula as the residents of D.Paula are already fed up with plenty of tourists vehicles/buses crowding everyday at this NIO-circle as there is no solution with the Government to tackle the flow of tourists who are visiting the D.Paula Jetty. I have already advised the Tourism Dept headed by Hon. Minister Dilip Parulekar to stop temporary until the sewage project and the widening of road D.Paula -Bambolim is completed. It appears that Government of Goa and Tourism dept is deaf in these issues. The traffic police dept. cannot control at all this traffic at D.Paula area. Now is that the tragedy is occurred at Cannaguinim where three women Russians died due to drowning as the boats operating by water sports have not taken note from the warning of Govt. of Goa and the Met Dept. is a sign that the Govt must take care of such activities. We expect that the Toursim Dept to take action in all the boats who have ventured into the sea with tourists for violating orders. This tragedy has occurred due to NILOFAR cyclone warning. Chief Minister is requested to halt this project immediately at D.Paula-Aivao because such tragedies are also expected in this area at Caranzalem in future. Surprisingly this project had come up which was halted since 2005 which needs to be studied in detail as it comes at CRZ violation zone and at low lying area and should be stopped in the interest of public. The Aivao village residents are deprived of playing ground and growing vegetables for their essential commodities in this area. Stephen Dias Social worker and concerned citizen D.Paula
Re: [Goanet] Temporary cottages / Shelter for Pilgrims - SFX Exposition
Folks, This one is going to cause a disaster. The more affluent pilgrims travel with kerosene stoves, the less affluent use firewood collected around the grounds for cooking. I am sure many of you have seen them camping and cooking in the building next to SFX's tomb. One spark. One errant spark and all the shelters will be in flames in a few seconds.

[Goanet] World Novena – 87th death anniversary – Father Agnelo
Hi all On 18 October 2014 for the first time I attended the 25th annual seminar hosted by the Goan Chaplaincy UK along with the Friends for the beatification of Father Agnelo and representatives from Goan organisations and prayer groups based in London and the South East of England. For 25 years, they have been praying and banging on the doors of the Vatican for the beatification of Father Agnelo. The general consensus is that Father Agnelo is not well known outside Goa and India. Taken from Wikipedia: Quote Beatification (from Latin beatus, blessed and facere, to make) is a recognition accorded by the Catholic Church of a dead person's entrance into Heaven and capacity to intercede on behalf of individuals who pray in his or her name (intercession of saints). Beatification is the third of the four steps in the canonization process. A person who is beatified is in English given the title Blessed. Unquote I grew up during the reign of Pope John Paul and remember his election with the white smoke and black smoke from the Vatican chimneys while the world waited for the results. He was made a saint soon after his death. Mother Theresa was also made a saint very soon after her death. As we approach the 87th death anniversary of Father Agnelo in November 2014 the power of prayer should not be under estimated and through goanet that weaves it way through borders around the world including ships at sea and aircraft perhaps readers, movers and shakers can let others know and spread the message. PRAYER TO OBTAIN THE GLORIFICATION OF VEN. AGNELO Almighty God, our heavenly Father, we gratefully acknowledge your plan for our salvation, even by working miracles through your chosen servants. We thank you for giving us your faithful servant Ven. Agnelo, as an example of how to follow in the steps of your beloved Son, Jesus Christ. With our whole heart, we pray that you may lead us through your Spirit to imitate his saintly life. Grant us also the favour we ask (mention the favour) as a sign that he now shares in the Glory of our Risen Lord. PRAYER FOR THE CANONIZATION OF VEN. AGNELO O God of infinite mercy, we humbly prostrate at your feet, we beg of You, with whole hearted trust, that if it be Your Holy Will, and if it serves our salvation, grant Ven. Agnelo the honours of the Altar, through the Solemn declaration of Our Provident Mother, the Church. We ask this through Christ Our Lord. AMEN.

[Goanet] The tall tales of Bwana Louie (FN)
The tall tales of Bwana Louie -- REVIEW BY: Frederick Noronha fredericknoro...@gmail.com -- We would sit for long hours at the Cafe Prakash near Panjim's Azad Maidan -- now sadly going through a rough patch, and not as noisy as it once was -- discussing issues. Mostly me listening and the author narrating. One could just provoke Luis with a short question, and expect to be regaled with a long series of detailed anecdotes. Some whispered in soft, almost conspiratorial tones, so much so that you were not sure whether you had just heard right! Luis de Assis Correia is a Goan in his eighties. Like many of that generation, particularly those who had a tryst with the world of migration and diaspora, he has indeed had a colourful past. Ironically enough, our discussions were often about his earlier books relating to the writing of Francisco Luis Gomes, or Goan history going back 10,000 years. The logical question would be: why not a book on the writer's own life? A suggestion or two was all that was needed. In between bouts of health challenges and spending his winters in Benaulim, the London-based Correia has actually come out with a hard-bound memoir. *Winds of Change Across Africa 1958-1969* strikes one as a bit of an understatement for a title. It suggests the book merely describes political change in those tumultuous times. Which it does; but it is much more, in fact. Two examples make this point. One day, Correia casually placed a photograph on the tea-stained table. At first glance, it made no sense. It had a few young African Blacks, and, as one then saw, some Asians. One young man in the picture seemed to be staring, almost fascinated, at the young woman. Turns out that this was the Goan Reita Faria, India's first ever Miss World, on her visit to Africa. If you search hard enough, you could probably find this photo in cyberspace today. The next photo he shared has an even more intriguing story. One can see a long row of young Africans, clad in ill-fitting suits, some holding large envelopes. The travel agency in the background suggests they're about the embark on some long voyage. Correia then went on to explain his role in arranging tickets for this group going as students to the United States, one of whom actually included the father of US President Obama! The envelopes were their x-rays, which they had to undergo some three days before travel, to ensure they were not carriers of tuberculosis while going to the Land of the Free and of Opportunity! In this book, Correia interweaves his own personal story with that of Africa's. A writer bringing himself or herself too much into the story can often act as a failing and detract from the story. But here, one sincerely feels that Correia could have done more to personalise the story, to bring out his own experiences, and to give a hint to the reader back in Goa about the often hidden role played by the Goan diaspora even in the so-called Dark (and, should one say, still despised) continent. Correia, like quite a few other Goans, started off life in the world of travel. After an education at Xavier's Bombay -- an institution which has built so much skills and talent in the Goan community -- he worked for awhile at Air India, and then shifted to Africa. His story of landing at dawn in Africa, and how it fulfilled a 'prediction', gets us off to an interesting start. And he writes (p xi), Within less than three months after my arrival in Nairobi, I was invited by [Kenyan nationalist leader who spearheaded the negotiations for independence] Tom Mboya to handle his own travel arrangements and also those of the African Elected Members for the Lancaster House Conference. By some coincidence, at this very time work is underway on the political memoirs of another Goan who actually attended one of those crucial conference -- blame it for setting postcolonial Africa onto the wrong road, if you wish -- JM Nazareth, who traces his roots to Moira. Winds of... is itself dedicated to Tom Mboya and Pio Gama Pinto, the mostly forgotten rare Goan who took the side of the Black nationalist cause, and post-Independence, and paid with his life for his pro-people, radical politics. In Part I of this book, we accompany Correia from Bombay (which he left in June 1958, p 3) to Kenya, Tanganyika and Zanzibar. One gets a hint of what it meant in those times, as someone from colonial Portuguese-ruled Goa, to work in post-Independence India. Correia's tryst with the media (through community newspapers) is interesting, as is his bird's eye view of Africa's politicians. For any Goan expat from Africa, or even just a student of history and politics, his photos are
