Hurricane Katrina: A great
escape for this Goan family
19 Sep: Herald. By Ronita Torcato. Excerpts: Goan expats
Bernadette and Dr Terence D’Souza
were among the fortunate ones who escaped in time from
the havoc wreaked by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
They are presently in Virginia with D’Souza’s
sister Trudy. Quepem-born Bernadette grew up in Mumbai,
went to the US in 1978, and works as Managing Attorney
with the Domestic Violence Unit of New Orleans Legal
Assistance. Terence, whose parents hail from Cuncolim
and Velim, is a neurologist with an office in Kenner,
New Orleans … the area they lived did not suffer
as much water damage as the rest of the city. 662 words.

Bernadette D’Souza has featured
many times before in GVUK. In 2000, she had been standing
outside the court with a client, Jacquelene Gersfeld,
when Gersfeld was fatally shot by her estranged husband,
after winning an injunction against him.
On 1 Nov. 2002 it was reported that she was honoured
as a role model at a YWCA luncheon.
The issue of 17 June 2004 reported that she got her
law degree only in 1993 as she had opted to stay home
with her and her husband's three children when they
were young.
On 8 Sep 2004 GVUK revealed that Bernadette D'Souza
was contesting the election as Judge in the Civil District
Court.
As part of the rebuilding process Dr.
Terence D’Souza has been asked to return to New
Orleans and reopen his medical practice. They do not
have a family photograph to hand but it is hoped to
publish one before long.

Dear Friends of Goa,
The lack of waste management infrastructure for both
hazardous and ordinary waste in Goa is shocking, shameful
and, quite simply, inexcusable. Successive Goa governments
have yet to take the problem seriously, and it is
now reaching crisis proportions even as the tourism
department continues to lure unsuspecting tourists
for the upcoming season, and the government proceeds
with plans to host IFFI, which will only compound
the problem. Goa can no longer sustain this assault.

17 Sep: Huddersfield Daily Examiner. Excerpts: The last
thing you want after a 10-hour flight is someone pretending
they're from your tour company and walking off with your
suitcases, but that's exactly what awaited us on arrival
in Goa. All the men in brown tunics wanted is baksheesh
- a tip … The people are very friendly … rather
lethal local alcoholic feni drink … a local speciality
is fish or chicken cafreal - fried chicken or fish in mint
marsala. Vindalhao is another delicacy, pork marinated in
vinegar, garlic and chillies … Whatever dishes you
choose to eat, enjoy them because they'll be the last curries
you have in quite a while. Once you're back home you won't
venture near an Indian restaurant for weeks - you simply
won't be able to better the ones you had on holiday. 775

Wine Choice
16 Sep: Coventry Evening Telegraph. … Portuguese wines
like Dão and Bairrada made with the Baga grape go with
Indian food. Portugal colonised Goa and their red and white
wines, especially Vinho Verde (right) have an affinity with
Goanese dishes. Vindaloos scream for fruitier styles; a sweet
German riesling, perhaps, or if the dish gives off scorching
heat and contains lots of chilli then a Southern Italian red
… However the one wine that really does the business
across the whole range of the sub-continent’s cuisine
surprisingly is Champagne.
