to draw a crowd of about 50,000. (GT) CROCS INVADE CORJUEM RIVER: In what can aptly be described as a visual delight, residents of Corjuem are a witness to a spate of crocodiles at the Corjuem river. Crocodiles as long as 5 to 10 feet are seen moving frequently in the river and can be seen by the residents here while commuting in the ferry. As transportation of mineral ore through this route has been stopped, crocodiles are having a field day for breeding activities. Fishermen, however, are alarmed over this situation as it has directly affected their cache of fish. (GT) REMAKING THE PACKAGE: Tourism has acquired the character of one of the world 's big industries but the tourism products of India, in spite of being of high order and varied mix of richness of culture, architecture, historical monuments, festivals, virtually and every to several destinations, have, however, failed to be distinctly competitive. It is really sad that tourist arrivals have not risen beyond 2.5 million for the last four years. The situation in Goa is more or less similar to the national scene and in fact in recent times there has been a decline in the flow of the foreign tourists. (Edit in NT) PAY AND PARK: What is happening in the cities of Margao and Ponda today will spread across Goa sooner or alter. For example, pay and park has come to stay. And congestion at the core of our cities must go. The only and completely open question for thorough debate is, How are these twin objectives to be achieved in a democratic manner that is just and fair to various sections of people? (Edit in GT) MISLEADING IMAGE OF GOA: Parachute journalism doesn't quite work. Scribes flying into some state, taking a hurried look at it, and then analyzing issues with supreme confidence are bound to end up with a misleading text. More so when the State is one which has a heavenly-if superficial-look of peacefulness and bliss about it. Like Goa. (Edit in Herald) CHINCHINIM LAD DOES GOA PROUD: Justin Francis, a great grandson of the well-known writer, journalist and freedom fighter, Fanchu Loyola of Chinchinim, is creating waves in Canada. He was honoured with a Spirit of the Capital Youth Award at the Ottawa Congress Centre. The celebration is the only 'youth for youth' awards programme of its kind in Canada. He received a statue and 1,000 dollars as part of the recognition. Justin is involved in all aspects of school life at Lisgar Collegiate Institute and devotes many hours to charitable causes, festivals, contests, academics and musical events. A Greenboro resident, he hopes to set up a jazz music band at the University of Ottawa. If you have a dream, work hard and you'll get there, he says. (GT) CYBORG WARWICK: Addressing the audience at a public lecture yesterday Kevin Warwick, professor of Cybernetics at UK's University of Reading, said, By linking the brain to a computer we are simply upgrading the intelligence of a human being and increasing its capabilities. Will artificial intelligence inherit the Earth? Yes. It is possible, he says. We call the shots on this planet, not because of our physical capabilities but because of our brains. Computers are more powerful and networked computers even more so. So what happens when something comes up that has a more powerful brain? We lose our position of dominance. So how do we stop the machines from taking over? By developing our brains, he answers, Imagine if we could network our brains. We can stay one step ahead as Cyborgs.

government and private bus operators with the agitating students leaders was unique because the operators were not under any compulsion to reduce the fare. The Kadamba Transport Corporation was not in the picture at that time.The student leaders were well read, honest, excellent orators, organizers, writers, communicators, negotiators and strategists. They were not naïve to be used and exploited by the politicians. (Nandkumar Kamat in Glimpses-NT) TRAIL IN PRINT: By some coincidence, a colleague happened to come across this unusual book at a footpath sale.

[Goanet]MOTORCYCLE ACTION GROUP'S DEMAND
Goanet next meets in Goa: January 7, 4 pm (meeting point: Kala Academy canteen). Goanet founder Herman Carneiro will be there. See you there! -- The Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) has expressed deep dismay on the failure of the Goa Government to officially clarify as to when the helmet rule would be implemented and as to whether the proposed implementation of helmet rule would include the pillion rider and the children travelling on two-wheelers. MAG Convenor Premanand A. Lotlikar has urged Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar to immediately divest Mr. Pandurang Madkaikar of the Transport portfolio for mismanaging the helmet issue and especially in view of the recent statement made by Director of Transport Mr. D.A Hawaldar at a recent Rotary club function that the transport Department was very corrupt. Mr. Lotlikar has stated that Mr. Madkaikar should take responsibility for this sorry state of affairs and wondered as to why the Government which after careful consideration had just a few months ago introduced two exemptions to the helmet rule had now suddenly made a U-turn and decided to make use of helmets mandatory and whether this time the Transport himself had some vested interest to enforce the rule. Mr. Lotlikar has stated that if Government decides it should strictly enforce the rule and that any exemptions should be notified by law and that the enforcing authorities should not be given any unofficial instructions on implementation of the rule to differentiate any particular section of two-wheeler riders. Mr. Lotlikar has stated that the implementation should not be a mere eye-wash and that MAG would not hesitate to approach the High court if the enforcement of the rule is not uniform and in accordance with law. Mr. Lotlikar has stated that making helmets compulsory by itself will not minimise the number of deaths and people will continue to die regardless of whether they were a helmet or not as long as the Government does not take some genuine concrete steps to deal with the root causes of accidents as helmets are only an added protection which could be of help as long as the Government first tackles the other road safety hazards. Mr. Lotlikar has also stated that that if the Government was really interested in road safety the first step should be to end the rampant corruption in the police and transport departments and that the authorities should stop turning a blind eye to the reckless traffic violations by four wheelers especially the rash and negligent buses and trucks, which were the cause of, major deaths on roads. Mr. Lotlikar has further stated that the Government having failed to provide a decent public transport system people have to depend on two wheelers to travel with their families and that the authorities have not clarified whether the rule would be enforced as provided by law for both rider and pillion rider, which would include children travelling on the two-wheeler. Mr. Lotlikar has stated that making helmets compulsory by itself will not minimise the number of deaths and people will continue to die regardless of whether they were a helmet or not as long as the Government does not take some genuine concrete steps to deal with the root causes of accidents as helmets are only an added protection which could be of help as long as the Government first tackles the other road safety hazards. * * * ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##

[Goanet]SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Goanet meets in Goa: December 27, 12 noon and January 7, 4 pm (meeting point: Kala Academy canteen). See you there! -- SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT Below is some information, which was brought to my notice by goanetter luis godinho [EMAIL PROTECTED] He came across it at http://www.movinghere.org.uk/galleries/roots/asian/angloindians/angloindians .htm = = = In 1500 the Portuguese Governor of India, Alfonso d'Albuquerque encouraged his countrymen to marry Indian women in order to establish Portuguese authority in India. The offspring of these mixed marriages between the Portuguese and Indians were known as Luso-Indians and now they are called Goans: a common community in Goa, Bombay (Mumbai) and West Coast India. In its early days, the East India Company's Board of Directors did not allow families or wives to travel along with its officials and soldiers to India. The English missed the companionship of their women and many of them had relationships with Luso-Indian and Indian women. The offspring of these mixed marriages and relationships are known as the Anglo-Indians. In 1687, the EIC encouraged marriages between European soldiers and Indian women, and even paid the mother of mixed offspring five rupees on the day the child was christened. Until 1911 Anglo-Indians were universally known as Eurasians. For occupational purposes and as a point of differentiation from the Europeans and the Indians, they were designated Statutory Natives of India; while for the defence of Empire purposes, they were called European British Subjects. = = = Here's what Godinho writes: I did write to the website administrator sometime ago [couple of months] to correct the information. My guess is that they are not very keen to rectify the error. Hence, I feel that something should be done to get the information corrected. May be some of our learned Goans could write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to have the error rectified. I am copying this message to some goanet contributors to join in this debate. x x x ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##

(GT) PETROL, DIESEL PRICES HIKED: Despite a drop in crude oil prices in the international market on December 15, state-owned oil companies last night announced an increase in petrol and diesel prices by more than a rupee from midnight last night, after maintaining the price line for the past two months. An official announcement by the oil companies said that petrol in Delhi would be dearer by a rupee at Rs.32.70 per litre as against Rs.31.70. Similarly, diesel will also cost a rupee more in Delhi at Rs.20.73 per litre against Rs.1973. MCDONALD FOR WATER LEAKAGE SURVEY: The State Cabinet on December 15 approved the appointment of Dalal Mot McDonald Private Ltd as technical consultants to survey and detect the leakage of water from underground pipelines in the State. Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar stated that on an average about 40-45 per cent of water was being wasted due to supply through old corroded pipes. The new technique of using copper conductors in pipeline help to detect leakage by use of detector leakage on the surface level and does not require digging of roads. (GT) ENGLISH IN GOA: It is one of those ironies that Goa, a region never rally ruled by the British, has taken to using the English language to a very large degree. Leave aside the vested interests who tell you otherwise, or the emotion-charged debates which take snipes at this 'foreign language'. Fact is that, in the part forty years and even a little before, this language has come to be widely accepted in the world of commerce, the courts, law, industry, bureaucracy, education and even culture.Goa has long been a migration-oriented society. With English taking on global ascendancy for a range of complex reasons, it was only to be expected that Goans would take to this language. Expat Goans-whether returning from Africa, or headed for the US, Canada, the Gulf or Australia-have clear linguistic preferences.

[Goanet]Zoivonta Porobo's re-appointment hearing
Zoivonta Porobo's re-appointment hearing The Writ Petition filed by Adv. Aires Rodrigues challenging the legality of the re-appointment of Mr. Zoivonta Esvonta Porobo as President of Goa Administrative Tribunal (GAT) will come up for hearing on 15th December before the Panaji Bench of the Bombay High Court. It may be recalled that the Panaji Bench of the Bombay High Court had on 5th December disposed the Contempt of Court petition filed by Adv.Rodrigues granting liberty to Adv. Rodrigues to challenge the legality of Mr. Porobo's appointment through appropriate legal proceedings if the consultation with the High Court has not been done in accordance with law. Adv. Rodrigues in his present petition has submitted that in the case of the appointment of the President of the Administrative Tribunal, it was incumbent upon the Government to associate the High Court in the selection process itself and that a Judge of the High Court had to be on the Selection Committee right from the inception. He has further submitted in his petition that the Government of Goa could not on its own select a candidate for the post of the President of Administrative Tribunal and then consult the High Court in the matter of appointment as a mere formality only, and that he is interested in the independence of judiciary and to see to it that the powers of the judiciary are not trampled on or encroached by the Executive and that the petition has been filed in public interest and the interest of legal fraternity. Adv. Rodrigues has prayed that the order re-appointing Mr. Porobo as President of GAT be quashed and set aside and that pending the hearing and final disposal of the Petition the order appointing Mr. Porobo be stayed and for an order of injunction restraining Mr. Porobo from acting as President of the Administrative Tribunal or from exercising any functions or powers or duties of the President of the Administrative Tribunal. Mr. Porobo was selected by a three-member panel comprising of Chairman of Goa Public Service Commission Mr. Avinash Vaze, former Law Secretary Mr. V.P Shetye and former Additional Advocate General Vilas Thali. However, Mr. Porobo resigned as President of GAT after the Panaji bench of the Bombay high court on 19th September 2002 quashed and set aside his appointment on Public Interest Litigation filed by Adv. Rodrigues. Mr. Porobo was later appointed as Joint Secretary Law by the Goa Government and has now been re-appointed as President GAT. * * * ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##
[Goanet]Nov 15, 2003: SECOND FONTAINHAS FESTIVAL
Nov 15, 2003: SECOND FONTAINHAS FESTIVAL The Fontainhas Festival of the Arts is a unique festival that has no parallel anywhere else in India. This festival turns private houses into art galleries for eight days early next year. The Goa Heritage Action Group, an NGO based in Goa, has plans to organize this art festival with a difference between 10th-17th January 2004 in the heritage precinct of Fontainhas-Mala, Panaji, Goa. The precinct will showcase artists from all over Goa and the rest of the country in a festival the likes of which have never been seen before. Art works will be displayed in heritage homes in balcãos, verandahs, salas and dining rooms and part of the proceeds will go towards the preservation of Goa's priceless heritage. The Corporation of the City of Panaji will be invited to participate as Festival Partners and will upgrade streets, infrastructure, storm drains, etc. At the last festival, the Corporation had lime washed heritage home facades in traditional colours adding to the Corporation's campaign of Together for Panjim. Artists from all over India and abroad will be invited to participate in the festival. 30% all of sale proceedings will come to the group out of which half will be given to the heritage home for its up-gradation and upkeep. Art will range from paintings, sculpture, installation to pottery and will be price structured to suit all budgets. In addition to the art works, musicians and dancers will enliven the atmosphere at the Festival with their contributions and live performances will entertain visitors in the evenings. Over ten thousand visitors are expected to come for the Fontainhas Festival of the Arts from India and abroad. Food from various parts of India will be served at the food stalls set up in the streets. Beer gardens in streets and heritage home courtyards will make a presence felt at the festival. The first Fontainhas Festival of the Arts held in January-February 2003 was a huge success. It brought in visitors from all over Goa and abroad and was featured in Indian as well as European newspapers and magazines. It attracted the participation of Air India, Indian Airlines, State Bank of India, Cidade de Goa, Kingfisher and others. It brought art lovers from across the world and perhaps for the first time, gave everyone a chance to interact with heritage homeowners in Goa. In 2004, the festival will showcase the work of 45 artists in over 35 private homes. There will also be art and music on the street. As a surprise feature, five great art personalities of India will deliver a slide illustrated talk at the venue over five out of the eight days. Jehangir Sabavala, Prafulla Dahanukar, Akbar Padamsee, Rekha Rodwittye and Dr. Saryu Doshi have consented to participate in this Retrospective. These great Indian personalities from the art world will speak on their own work and will then answer any questions from the audience. In addition, there will be two art workshops. There will be a workshop designed for children to appreciate art. There will also be a workshop titled FROM DOT TO LINE by renowned art promoter Geeta Kapadia. This workshop will be open to participants of all ages. The Fontainhas Festival of the Arts is a unique concept that brings art, heritage and music together. Visitors to the festival get a chance not just to appreciate works of art in unique settings but also a chance to visit heritage homes and interact with Goan families in their own environment. There is interaction between artists, homeowners and visitors at unprecedented levels. And all this interaction takes place against a backdrop of the beautiful, charming homes of the citizens of Panjim, Goa. * * * ## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##

LEADS YELLAVA TO GRAVE-DIGGING: Yellava Kambli's contribution may be like a raindrop in the ocean. And it may go unnoticed. Hanumantha Devmani's widow is a grave digger-cum-caretaker (at the Vasco cemetery) not by choice but by fate. Aai, as she is called by the local people, is originally from Chirmuri village in Vengurla. The small, frail woman digs graves in the cemetery, prepares graves for different occasions lie month's mind, yearly remembrance and masses. She also tolls the bell and cleans and sweeps the church and the St Andrew's school premises. (Cyril Fernandes in GT) SOCORRO ARTIST PASSES AWAY: Galdino D'Souza, a resident of Maina-Socorro, passed away peacefully on December 7 at the age of 81. Galdino, who has his paintings distributed widely in Goa and other countries, took up painting after his retirement. His specialty was the painting of local earthen pots. (H) LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST: Where there is a will, there is a way. This age-old saying is apt to the budding entrepreneur from Mapusa, Leticia Jacques Mendonsa. Prior to venturing into business, Leticia served as an executive in Mumbai for seven years and then in the Royal Oman Police, Muscat, for 15 years. Thereafter with the hope of permanent settlement, she came down to Goa in 1992. Leticia started an exclusive gifts store (Royal Stores). Gradually, in order to cater to the other needs of the people in the locality, Leticia opened a variety store. (Pio Esteves in NT) YOLANDA DE SOUZA'S SAUDADES, an exhibition of paintings by Yolanda de Souza Kammermeier, was inaugurated on December 9 at the Galeria Cidade. I don't paint pretty pictures. I paint what makes me feel pretty within. Feels great when people interact with what I have thrown on the canvas, says Yolanda. The works rendered in watercolours tell the story of her childhood, with her grandmother being the central figure. The second part is the rendering of portraits in acrylics. (H) S P O R T S SESA U-17 CHAMPIONS: Sesa Football Academy came up with a methodical display of attacking football to knock the stuffings out of Haywards 2000 Sporting Clube 5-1 in the finals of the Under-17 Football tournament, organised by the Goa Football Association, at Don Bosco grounds, Panjim.
