I read the write up....but what I'm wondering is who the hypocrites really
are? The educated people of panjim including Educated Dr. Oscar Rebello at
the time of elections will be standing aside Don Manohar Parrikar. I am also
wondering why is it that channels like Goa 365 dont have the guts to ask the
right questions to Manohar. Are we afraid of Parrikar or RSS or both or
sashikala? Who are the hypocrites?

Secondly I thought for a while that Konkani was the mother tongue....where
the hell are all these "marathi" people coming from fighting for their
status? Marathi is not even a goan language but a maharashtrian language!!!

Remember Goans you are being taken for a ride by Parrikar & his band of
thieves, these people want to rule goans and as long as goans remain
illiterate, you won't be able to read the constitution of India!! And these
BJP / RSS / Parrikar type of people can rule over you.

ViVa Goa, Viva Education, Viva Konkani .......and Go to Hell "Marathi" !!

Campal comes alive as 118 teams drum support for rebuilding stadium
JOVITO LOPES

spo...@herald-goa.com

Panjim: The erstwhile Campal Stadium came alive and kicking what with
a record number of 118 teams indulging in spot-kicking, scores of
former international, national and state footballers alongwith
hundreds of fans cheering them despite heavy rains and rough weather,
with just one motto ? rebuild the Campal Stadium. It was a massive
show of strength on Sunday.

It was a spontaneous expression of solidarity for rebuilding the
stadium which was razed by the then Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar in
2004 with the promise to rebuild it in 18 months. Parrikar, who is the
capital city MLA, but could not rebuild it as his government
collapsed, himself made his presence felt and inaugurated the mega
event which saw two ladies team also participating, if only to
reiterate the message in clear tone, that come what may, the
Government will have to give Ponjekars its stadium.

Parrikar assured football players and fans that football was Goa?s
first love and he would give his full backing to ensure that the
stadium would be rebuilt. He also expressed his hope, that most of the
cabinet ministers, being football lovers, would support such a demand.

CCP Mayor Yatin Parekh, Arjuna awardee, ex-international Brahmanand
Sancoalcar, Henry Brito of Academica fame and a hosts of national and
state footballers descended at the open ground with the sole goal of
lending their support for a genuine cause. The wafer-thin opposition
was nowhere to be seen.

The organisers ? Dr Rufino Monteiro, CCP Corporator Surendra Furtado,
Joaquim Teles, Sandeep Heble, Hillary Fernandes, Manoj Patil, Anju
Albuquqrque, Anagha Warlikar ? stood vindicated as it was a purely
democratic expression by the stakeholders. ?We have suffered all these
years and now the time has come to act. Plans are already there in
place. We need to pass the message in loud and clear terms to Chief
Minister Digambar Kamat and if need be, even to Speaker Pratapsing
Rane, who is the Chairman of Kala Academy. Both are former sportsmen
and lovers of sports and surely they will be on the side of youth. We
know they will respect the sentiments of sportsmen and sportslovers,
as they strongly believe in democracy,? they said.

Results of the five-a-side tie-breaker: Winners ? Mangor Tommy of
Vasco (Rs 4000). Runners-up ? SFX Mala, Panjim (Rs 3000). Third place
Dempo Tigers, Altinho (Rs 2000). Fourth place ? Keunem Boys, Taleigao.
Best goalkeeper Nikhil of Mangor. Best striker Ali Mohammed of Dempo
Tigers. Best youngest player Hartem Rebello. Best senior player
Hillary Fernandes.

Dempo College of Commerce, Mira Mar, Cross 7 Caranzalem, Auxilium High
School Caranzalem and Young Boys of Kevrem were awarded Rs 1000 each.

There were 56 teams from Panjim itself, 24 teams from Taleigao and
Dona Paola, 12  from St. Cruz and Merces and the others from nearby
areas. Many city schools also made their presence felt with some
schools like Don Bosco, Panjim fielding as many as four  teams.

The tournamment was conducted by Selvyn Fernandes , Anthony Vaz,
Angelo Albuquerque and Eurico Mascarenhas.

Organizing secretary Sandeep Heble  proposed the vote of thanks.

Hypocrisy at its best
Children of sons and daughters of  Kakodkar, Adv. Bembre are being
educated in English primary schools Mr Parikar finds that educating
his son in USA is better than corresponding  opportunities in India Mr
Batikar finds that running a primary education is much more profitable
It is clear that these are hypocrites , who are out to thrust their
wisdom on the children of other parents. Their  own sons and daughters
have the freedom to choose, but the same privilege is not available,
to the other  parents These staunch supporters of regional languages
were in hibernation at the spread of unaided English medium  primary
schools, without raising a finger of protest and which fact has
spurred the present  movement. These schools have created a vertical
divide in the society between  those who can afford and others who
have to take what they get. There is no formal training of regional
language teachers, evaluation of the standards of teaching, difficulty
of the taught, evaluation of the teaching material and yet these so
called pseudo educationists  are crying fowl. Why do we need to
encourage Kanada and Urdu medium primary schools in Goa without
reciprocal arrangements for Goans in those states, Do we have any
arrangement for Konkani language teaching anywhere outside Goa and
specially in Maharashtra, where there is sizable Goan population?Are
we fighting openly to propagate Konkani the regional language and
official state language, or trying to promote Marahti , state language
of Maharashtra?. A popular daily has opened up its space for dissent,
that is ludicrous for a man of letters and which has been bashed and
refuted to expose the double talk and tear the mask of hypocrisy It is
said Physician should heal himself first and do not attempt to make
others guinea pigs of pedagogical experiments It would be more
sensible to withdraw in dignity rather than rationalising  in a escape
route of self defense that sounds hollow and unworthy. The respect and
admiration people had for these individuals of integrity and character
has evaporated, because they do not command respect of their own
immediate family members The devanagri script has made the situation
worse, as the religious scriptures are  in Romi form . It appears that
the state language Konkani is the sole responsibility of Minority
Schools If Konani and Marathi is made compulsory up to std X, how the
learning and preservation will be diminished? Language is not the sole
repository of culture. Remember for a moment that without formal
teaching and learning Konkani it has survived and spread for over 450
years of determined persecution. None of todays votaries of regional
languages had any say or part in this process.  20 years of English
medium Primary schools and another 20 years in Konkani medium has not
not upset the apple cart of Goan culture
What steps have been taken to implement the official language act?
What other  steps have been taken to promote regional languages?
Politicians are simply agitating to revive their sagging political
careers and fortunes. Only time will tell that stamping upon peoples
right to choose will impact adversely and you will live to rue the
roost.

Message-ID: <000801cc3477$285121a0$1901a8c0@user77948b9580>

CSJP voices concern over rampant abuse of drugs 
Published on: June 27, 2011 - 01:28 

PANAJI: The Council for Social Justice and Peace (CSJP) on Drug Abuse and
Illicit Drug Trafficking Day has voiced its "deep concern" over the rampant
abuse of drugs in Goan society.
CSJP has urged the people to take a serious look at the culture of alcohol
and drugs that is engulfing the state in leaps and bounds and advised the
government to impose measures to curb the sale of alcohol and enforce the
law to bring to book those who in an intoxicated state endanger the lives of
citizens and disturb the peace in the family and society. 

It also wanted existing de-addiction centres to be well equipped and manned
by highly motivated and adequately qualified staff. 

Admitting that the government has been enacting various laws for the welfare
of the woman and the child, it has criticised its failure to impose
sufficient curbs on drug trade and on the consumption of alcohol in
particular, arguing that this has been the cause of trauma for several homes
in Goa's villages. 

"It is most unfortunate that taking the cover of tourism, the government has
been promoting intoxicants and in the process promoting an unhealthy
culture, not only among tourists who visit the state but also among the
local population," said the executive secretary, CSJP, Fr Maverick
Fernandes.

"Abuse of alcohol and drugs besides affecting the performance of the
individuals in the productive age group has also been destroying the peace
and health of the family members and society at large. The rising number of
road accidents, drowning on beaches and anti-social activity resulting from
alcohol and drug abuse is earning a bad name for the state and is also
making life for the ordinary citizen difficult and insecure," CSJP said, and
argued that the rising number of alcohol abusers among Goa's labour force
has been causing concern for the employers. 

"The high incidence of young widows in several talukas of Goa caused due to
death of their spouses from alcohol abuse is a blot on our society," it has
mentioned. 

"It is a matter of shame that government supported agencies instead of
promoting healthy lifestyles are involved in promoting the consumption of
alcohol thereby setting a wrong example to the younger generation and while
the alcohol trade has been flourishing in Goa the responsibility of
providing sufficient support systems for recovery of those afflicted by
addiction to these substances has been overlooked both by the government and
industry that profits from this trade," it has observed.

Protect And Preserve Our Resources 

 

Till the mid seventies most of the villages in hinterland and coastal Goa
were
self sufficient in terms of water, even though there was no tap water, the
wells, springs and streams did more than enough to sustain the water
requirements of these villages with limited families and their farm animals.
As
years went by, families expanded and resources shrunk, with the degradation
of
our ecology and environment through mining. Soon after mega housing in rural
villages put a tremendous strain on this precious resource and it turned
sparse.
Wells, streams and springs started turning dry.

 

With the commissioning of the Selaulim Project people of South Goa heaved a
sigh
of relief pipelines and taps appeared all over south Goa but the fantasy did
not
last long as running water in the taps became a novelty and as such a new
scene
appeared on the horizon in Goa, train like lines of people with utensils
waiting
to fill water near every tap. 

 

Government after government since then have been promising 24x7x365 days
running
water in the taps but have miserably failed to fulfill that promise, as a
result
of which even bigger lines are appearing near every tap. Most of the
bathrooms
in flats in the cities are found to be full of empty drums kept for storing
water, sometimes no water for days at a stretch.  

 

With the population of Goa rising from around 11 lakhs in 1980 to around 16
lakhs today, water consumption has out-paced it source and with mega
projects
flourishing, with the blessings of our politicians it is going to be a tall
ask
to meet the needs of the people of Goa. Even than our politicians leave no
stone
unturned to release hot air from their lungs promising Goans the
unattainable
and we gullible Goans even clap and say hurrah, every time such empty
promises
are pompously and theatrically made.

 

To stop the situation from getting even more shoddier the government should
immediately without any delay protect our water resources and tap the
untapped
sources and stop open cast mining, the government should also put a blanket
ban
on all mega projects till such time that we get our water supply and our
other
infrastructural requirements on track.

 

The first priority should be that people all over Goa get at least 3-4 hours
of
continues running water, then slowly increasing systematically the time
period
till the ultimate 24x7x365 is attained. When we all know that 24x7x365 is
impossible at the present times why go for it, let's take one step at a
time,
slow and steady wins the race. Fast results are deemed to fail in the long
run.

 

Our Government should make all efforts to see that our resources are not
wasted
by unconcerned citizens, so I also suggest that the government, issues a
directive of minimum water and power consumption per connection after due
study
of an average household in an average house, and that minimum consumption
should
be charged at a reasonable rate, consumption above the minimum should be
charged
at a higher rate and another higher level to be exorbitantly charged, to
refrain
people from wasteful consumption and wastage.

 

It is said that to be effective you have to "hit where it hurts" and hitting
the
pockets is bound to hurt the wasteful consumer, only then will people
realize
the value of conserving our energy and water resources. It is said that only
a
person who is lost in the desert knows the true value of water, so let's not
wait to get lost in the desert but all pledge to preserve and protect our
resources, so that they last a wee bit longer.

The goodness of garlic
Garlic not only adds a wonderful flavour to food, but also comes packed with
many health benefits.












Garlic has long enjoyed the reputation of a wonder food because of its
unmatched health benefits. Garlic belongs to the onion family and has been
used since centuries for both taste and health. The garlic plant's flowers -
bulb made up of numerous sections called cloves - are strong and spicy in
flavour and become milder on cooking.
Garlic contains complex compounds including amino acids like arginine,
glutaminic, aspartic, valine & lysine; minerals like calcium, manganese,
potassium, iron, zinc, copper, sodium and phosphorus; vitamin C & B6;
niacin; folic acid; allicin; quercetin; sugars like fructose and glucose and
other essential oils with sulphur containing components like diallyl
disulphide and allyl tri-sulphide.




Health benefits of garlic
Prevents cardiac disease: Cardiac diseases are associated with various
parameters including high level of blood cholesterol, blood pressure and
blood sugar. The allicin present in garlic breaks down to form sulphides,
which together with vitamin B6 and vitamin C form the excellent
antioxidants. These work especially well in water-soluble areas of the body
like the blood stream.
The oxidised form of LDL (bad cholesterol) works in damaging blood vessels.
Garlic has proved to inhibit the growth of oxidised LDL and increase the
level of HDL (good cholesterol), thereby reducing the risk of heart stroke.
Moreover it reduces the formation of plaque on the walls of heart vessels.
Half a teaspoon of crushed raw garlic taken before going to bed proves
beneficial instead of taking a 600 mg tablet. Studies also reveal that
garlic has properties to increase insulin in the body thereby reducing the
blood sugar level.
Garlic also reduces blood pressure by blocking the angiotensin activity that
triggers blood pressure levels.




Fights against cancer: Crushing garlic leads to the formation of compounds
like diallyl disulphide and allyl tri-sulphide, which is why consuming it in
its crushed form is highly recommended. These compounds work to fight
against breast, stomach, bladder and prostate cancer. Garlic obstructs the
development of cancerous cells, thereby slowing down the growth of tumour.
It has been noticed that sulphur compounds commonly called ajoenes found in
garlic are known for their anti-tumour qualities and can reduce the size of
tumour by almost 50%. A strong immune system is a key to fighting against
cancer and garlic helps to develop a strong immune system.
Improves immunity: Garlic has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral
properties. The allium present in garlic helps in controlling infections
caused because of bacteria, fungi and viruses. Garlic helps to fight common
cold. Studies reveal that crushed garlic can inhibit the growth of
infectious bacteria in burn patients and also on open and bleeding wounds.
Garlic provides relief from intestinal infections caused by infectious
worms, thereby boosting the immunity.




Good for pregnant women:Healthy nutrients found in garlic are highly
beneficial for pregnant women. The immunity boosting qualities of garlic can
help women stay away from infections caused by bacteria, virus and fungi.
Moreover, garlic has proved to be effective in increasing the weight of the
child during pregnancy.
Pre-eclampsia is a situation in which blood pressure increases, resulting in
excessive release of protein in the urine. Garlic is a diuretic and can
increase the flow of urine in pregnant women which in turn expels toxic
substance from the human body and helps to reduce the risk of developing
pre-eclampsia.
It should be noted however, that excessive garlic is not recommended during
pregnancies, as it causes thinning of the blood, which may lead to bleeding.
The problem with garlic
The biggest problem with garlic is it's strong smell, that causes bad breath
and body odour. One tip to reduce bad breath caused by garlic is to consume
it with milk. Also, cooked garlic has a significantly lesser smell than raw
garlic.

With Karwar base expanding, Navy must shift out of Goa says Mathany
2011-06-27

Matanhy Saldanha, Ex-MLA of Cortalim Constituency has demanded that the Goa
Government take up very strongly with the Ministry of Defence the shifting
of the Naval Training centre at Dabolim to the Karwar Naval base.

Pointing out that the government is preparing to spend Rs. 10,000 crore on
the Karwar naval base expansion, he said the Goa government should demand
that the naval training centre be shifted to Karwar and this shift be made a
part of the expansion programme.

He said that shifting of the training centre to Karwar will pave way for
returning the Dabolim airport to civilian authority as it was prior to Goa?s
liberation by the Indian Armed Forces in Operation Vijay.

?The Dabolim airport was seized by the Indian Armed Forces during Operation
Vijay and has remained in its custody as war booty since then,? he said
adding that now was the time to demand it back to the civilian authority as
a Golden Jubilee gift to Goa by the forces that liberated it.

He also pointed out that the Indian Armed Forces have sizeable land in Goa
in its possession which is nearly 10 per cent of the total area in Goa.

The expansion of Karwar Naval Base is undertaken to act as a check to the
proposed construction of a naval base at Gwadar in Pakistan by China which
will give Pakistan direct access to the Gulf region.

Subject: [Goanet] FROM FEB 2005 TO MAY 2011 GOA'S ADVOCATE GENERAL PAID RS
5, 13, 11, 750

The Goa Government has paid its Advocate General Mr. Subodh Kantak Rs
5 crores 13 lakhs 11,750 for the period from 14th Feb 2005 to May
2011.

The Law department has informed under the Right to Information Act
that the amount paid to? Advocate General Subodh Kantak is by way of
his professional fees, retainership and other allowances. The amount
excludes the period form 5th March 2005 to 15th June 2005 when Goa was
under President?s rule and Senior Counsel Mario Bruto da Costa was
appointed the Advocate General. The highest amount paid to Advocate
General Subodh Kantak was for March 2007 when Mr. Subodh Kantak got a
whopping 19 Lakhs 60 thousand by way of professional fees.

Mr. Subodh Kantak who is not even a Senior Counsel is India?s highest
paid Advocate General. The Advocate Generals of Maharastra, Karnataka
and Gujarat on the average are never paid more that Rs 50,000 a month.
Advocate Generals in other States only appear in constitutional and
important matters, but? Mr. Subodh Kantak is appearing in all sorts of
matters just because he is paid Rs 8000/- every time he stands up in
the High Court.

Advocate General Subodh Kantak who was earlier being paid on an
average over Rs 10 lakhs a month is now getting? upto Rs. 5 lakhs a
month.but the same needs to be further lowered as in other States.

It is very evident that Chief Minister Digambar Kamat is not serious
on his assurance that the Goa AG?s fees would be brought down on par
with the neighboring states. It is an irony that Goa?s Advocate
General Subodh Kantak is being paid more then the Governor, Chief
Minister, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and even the President of
India.
