Re: [Goanet] Goanet Digest, Vol 16, Issue 298

[Fausto DaCosta]

Very true. My salute to Lambert Mascarenhas who did all he could to sustain
the magazine and finally agreed to hand it over to Salgaocars.  Thanks to
Mr. Dattaraj Salgaoncar who offered Goans this beautiful magazine
regularly. We cannot forget the contributions of all the other subsequent
editors and writers.  I was associated with the magazine for  more than 4
decades distributing it in Mumbai as well as exporting it to the Gulf
countries, besides being its avid reader for many years,
That the magazine will subsequently come in a different format, digitally
or whatever, at a later stage is hard to digest   If at all it would, the
effort would have been now, before its closure, while they had the
subscribers ready. And  time was  at hand to organise it considering the
closure of postal activities during the lockdown period in 2020-2021.
However, let us hope for the best.

I was very sad to hear that GOA TODAY,  a  magazine I've
been a life subscriber of ever since the days of my dear
friend, Lambert Mascarenhas, is to cease publication later this
month.  A sad day especially for us, overseas Goans, who
eagerly looked forward to each monthly issue.
   While I accept that all good things must come to an
end, I must close by mentioning the founder Editor of GOA TODAY -
my dear friend(Lambert Mascarenhas) who, despite initial
financial problems steered this magazine through sometimes
stormy waters. Difficult to know how many overseas Goans
responded to his appeal for support when the going was
tough.
   Anyway, thanks also to the current Editor, my friend,
Vinayak Naik in whose offices I spent some time many moons
ago discussing a variety of subjects. Wish you well, Vinayak.

Thank you in advance.

*GULAB: PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR*

* NORMA AND CLAUDE ALVARES *

Norma and Claude Alvares are well known fighters for Goa's environment.
This work they have been doing for over 25 years, mostly through the Goa
Foundation.



Claude Alvares is a Ph.D., and Director of the Goa Foundation since 1986.
The organisation has functioned as Goa's environmental watch dog, and has
taken the government of Goa and several private parties to Court over
negative environmental impacts of projects. These involve projects
threatening the status of Goa's beaches, mangroves, turtle nesting sites,
sand dunes, private forests, wildlife sanctuaries, etc.



The most important case fought by the Goa Foundation in the Supreme Court
was to bring a halt to illegal mining. As a result of the petition, mining
was halted for 4 years. The Supreme Court also ordered that in future 10%
of all mining proceeds will be deposited in a special fund for future
generations of Goans. This fund is called the Goan Iron Ore Permanent Fund.



The Goa Foundation also publishes *Fish Curry and Rice*, a detailed report
on the environment of Goa, in addition to other publications and reports.



It has taken on serious problems that Goa faces, like the Sonsoddo garbage
dump which it ran effectively for two years. It is now training people to
prepare and argue their cases before the National Green Tribunal without
using lawyers.



Dr Claude Alvares is editor of *Other India Press*, in addition to being
coordinator of the Multiversity project.



Adv. Norma Alvares began practicing public interest environment law in Goa
from 1988. For the past two decades she has argued, entirely free of cost,
over a hundred and fifty Public Interest Litigation (PIL) cases in the
Bombay High Court on environment issues, human rights, including women’s
and children’s rights, animal welfare etc. for the Goa Foundation, other
Goan NGOs and citizens groups.



Smt. Alvares is also a well-known animal welfare activist. She is the
President and Founder Trustee of People for Animals-Goa, which has
established several animal shelters in Goa to assist the authorities to
control stray dog population and provide shelter to animals injured in
accidents. She has filed public interest litigations in the Bombay High
Court in 1997 to stop bull-fights in Goa, and in 1999 to stop the killing
of stray dogs and succeeded in obtaining favourable judgements to ensure
prevention of cruelty to animals.



For her publicly acknowledged work in relation to animal welfare and the
protection of the environment she was conferred with the *Padma Shri* from
the Government of India in 2002 and for her work for women’s empowerment
she was awarded the *Yashadamini Puraskar* from the Government of Goa in
2003.



*GULAB TIATRIST OF THE YEAR:*

*C.  D’SILVA*

Pedro Caitan D’Silva  was born on 26th  March 1936  in Per-Seraulim-Colva,
Goa and is widely known on Konkani stage as C. D’Silva.  His first
appearance on Konkani stage as a child artiste was at the age of 15 years
in the tiatr APOUNNEM, written and staged by late Felicio Cardoso.  From
then on there was no looking back.  C. D’Silva went on to act and sing for
popular directors of the time like C. Alvares, M. Boyer, Remmie Colaco,
John Claro, Prem Kumar, Jacinto Vaz, Kid Boxer, Young Menezes and others,
performing major roles and singing duets, trios and quartets.

To date he has acted in almost 300 tiatrs with each having over fifty plus
shows.  At the ripe age of 80, C. D’Silva still continues to perform and
produce his plays.  D’Silva has written and directed more than thirty
plays, his first being KAZARI IRMANV in 1953.  His other popular

[Goanet] Who is C. F. Menezes?

[Fausto DaCosta]

*Joaquim Loiola Pereira:*

C.F. Menezes, a lay man of Goan origin, had been the Manager (Principal?)
till 1941 and he would like to know more about this gentleman:

Anyone who would ... fill in the blanks?

** **

Response:

A close relative of mine who studied at Ornellas around that time
would have had the answer. Unfortunately, she just expired around 3
months ago at the ripe old age of 94. However, Fr Eddie Fonseca who
was a parishioner of City Church and also Principal of Ornellas for a
long time would be just the right person to know. At present he
resides at the Clergy Home (Prakash Bhavan)just behind St Patrick?s
Cathedral at Pune. Perhaps Bishop Vally D'Souza too may know. **

THERE'S A GOAN INSTITUTE IN PUNE AND THEY SHOULD BE KNOWING ABT. HIM.

Re: [Goanet] Goanet Digest, Vol 7, Issue 1030

[Fausto DaCosta]

She has sung for Manuel Alphonso and also for Oslando D'Souza. She deserves
an award. Not sure where she stays now.  besides Oslando D'Souza and Olga
Colaco need to be awarded for their tremendous contribution towards  Goan
Music. Their contribution is matchless i should say.

DOTOR Maka Boren Na - Lourdes Colaco and Jerome D'Souza

https://soundcloud.com/tribute2jerome/dotor-maka-boren-na


This is the Original Duet sung by Jerome D'Souza and Lourdes Colaco.
Lourdes used to be Jerome's fav Singer and has sung in many of his songs.
Lourdes is from Goa and has performed for the Top Bombay bands and Artistes
in her prime
and with the incredible Voice quality and Style that she possessed,
she could have easily been one of the singing greats of today.

Lourdes Colaco, sang a duet with late Alfred Rose -Ful Fuloilam'
and another song 'Vell Aimorecho'. She also sang with late Remmie Colaco
'Satvo Sakrament', Mojea Gharant Naka, Futtleli Boxi.
Among the popular Mandos u will remember...Jimmy Jimmy Moga, Nid
Poddonam...and Doryachea Lharari.
All these songs were popular on AIR, but I don't think she has sung for the
Tiatr.

A friend of mine was introduced to Lourdes about 4 years back in Mumbai.
Does anyone know where she is at present. She too deserves a lifetime award
for her singing.
Tiatr Academy of Goa must honour these old singers.

Dear JoeGoaUK,

It is not correct that Mario  was behind the Utterly Butterly
Delicious Amul ad. It was created by DaCunha Associates, headed by
Sylvester Da Cunha, a Goan who is an icon in India's advertising
world. The Amul girl was created by Eustace Fernandes. I am not sure
if he is Goan. He died last year, at age 75.

If you have seen enough of Mario's artwork, then you can see that the
line strokesin the Amul girl are different.

Eugene

Eustace a goan to the core and could speak Konkani but not very fluently
