Goa elections: Cong declares 22 seats, Babush from St Cruz, Sopte-Patnekar get tickets Posted: 04 Feb 2012 Congress has declared first list of 22 candidates. It includes all former Congress MLAs, except Victoria Fernandes (St Cruz), Pandurang Madkaikar (Cumbarjua) and Alex Reginald Lawrenco (Curtorim). Congress has also rewarded Dayanand Sopte (Mandrem) and Rajesh Patnekar (Bicholim) for quitting the BJP. Most interesting among it is Babush Monseratte being declared as St Cruz candidate, indicating that all efforts of Victoria Fernandes to field her son Rudolph have gone waste. The only two new candidates declared in the list are Panaji Mayor Yatin Parekh from Panaji and Caetan Xavier from Cortalim. GPCC president Subhash Shirodkar, who was defeated by BJP’s Mahadev Naik, has been nominated from Shiroda once again.Congress has also not declared Benaulim seat, from where Churchill’s daughter Valanka has already started her campaign. Similarly, the Congress has kept on hold the candidature of Taleigao, which was held by Babush earlier. He wants the seat for his wife Jennifer. Curtorim is probably being held up because South Goa MP & former Curtorim MLA Francisco Sardinha is trying hard to get the seat for his son Shalon, sidelining sitting MLA Reginald Lawrenco. The list of 22 candidates is as follows: § Mandrem – Dayanand Sopte § Pernem – Babu Azgaonkar § Valpoi – Vishwajeet Rane § Poriem – Pratapsing Rane § Sanquelim – Pratap Gawas § Bicholim – Rajesh Patnekar § Aldona – Dayanand Narvekar § Calangute – Agnel Fernandes § Panaji – Yatin Parekh § St Cruz – Babush Monseratte § St Andre – Francis Silveira § Ponda – Ravi Naik § Shiroda – Subhash Shirodkar § Dabolim – Mauvin Godinho § Cortalim – Caetan Xavier § Nuvem – Alexio Sequeira § Navelim – Churchill Alemao § Margao – Digambar Kamat § Velim – Philip Neri Rodrigues § Cuncolim – Joaquim Alemao § Quepem – Babu Kavlekar § Curchorem – Shyam Satardekar 2007 Result INC: 16 | BJP: 14 | NCP: 3 | MAG: 2 | UGDP: 1| OTHERS: 4 2012 Results: ?

Cartoonist Alexyz was presented the award "Pedro Adao Award" comprising a memento and certificate, to mark the memory of the late Portuguese Consul General in Goa, Pedro Adao, who loved and encouraged Goan art and culture. The award was presented to Alexyz by the chief guest, Rev Fr Conceicao D'Silva, the parish priest of Taleigao. Fr D'Silva lauded the great role played by Dr Jack de Sequeira for preventing Goa from being merged into Maharashtra, and lamented that the "Father of the Opinion Poll" has been ignored by the government. http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/gulf-goans _________________ Alexyz with Sania and Lin Lin at Indo-German Music Alexyz presented a caricature to young Goan violinist Sania M Cota after her music concert along with Lin Lin (on the piano) at the Kala Academy on Jaunuary 17, 2012.

Mario and Alexyz, both cartoonists, were very good friends. Here Alexyz is seen as one of the pall bearers at the final rites. _________________ Alexyz Greets Basilio (BBC) on his Silver Jubilee ALEXYZ greets Basil (BBC) on his Silver Jubillee: Basilio Carvalho, popularly known as BBC Tailors is as adept at acting and writing plays as he is on styling clothes. His most recent Konkani tiatr production "Ravtolo" did quite well at the recent 37th Kala Academy Tiatr Competition in Panjim. The same show, with Alister Miranda in the stellar role, was re-staged at the St Anthony Church Compound in Siolim on November 20, 2011. The superb show was well attended by the Siolcars. On the occasion, Basilio presented a purse of Rs.25,000 to Rev Fr Britto, the parish priest, towards the church fund. Alexyz, a good friend of Basilio, gifted him a framed caricature, which brought a handsome bout of laughter amidst all. The band for the tiatr was led by Mestre Cota of Santa Cruz. _________________ ALEXYZ at the launch of Anita Pinto's Book "Espi Maim..." "Esmi Mai Is Stuck Again and other Goan Tales", an 136-page book of absorbing stories for children was launched at a spectacular function at the rehearsal block of the Kala Academy in Panjim, Goa, on October 22, evening. Young and old, writers and others formed the august audience for the launch function which was preceded by an interesting panel discussion by renowned writers, before it was released with the people in the audience releasing colourful balloons in the air, with the lovely Mandovi river, beyond the KA's lush green lawns, as a delightful backdrop. Of course, children were the highlight, with five of them appointed as Chief Guests. The book, published by Fred Noronha's "Goa-1556", has illustrations by Alexyz. _________________ Alexyz & Durgadas Parab with Wendell Rodricks ALEXYZ AND DURGADAS PARAB WITH CHIEF GUEST WENDELL RODRICKS AT THE 3RD ANNUAL ECO-TREKS EXHIBITION AT GALLERY ATTIC IN PANJIM HELD RECENTLY. http://goablog100.blogspot.com www.goa-world.com/goa/recipes/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Protect Goa's natural beauty Support Goa's first Tiger Reserve Sign the petition at: http://www.goanet.org/petition/petition.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
