Essa assim que o produtor da Funalfa Augusto Costa define o cinejornalista juizforano João Gonçalves Carriço. Agora a cidade pode conhecer um pouco mais sobre a vida desse homem, que chegou a planejar uma Hollywood em Juiz de Fora.

O projeto “Revivendo Carriço” vem trazendo para a cidade diferentes formas de viver a experiência dos primeiros anos do cinema. Hoje acaba o período de inscrições para o concurso de vídeos sobre o cineasta e até o dia 17 de setembro estão abertas as inscrições para o Concurso “Assim Era Carriço…” para estudantes do Ensino Fundamental. No mês de julho houve sessões de filme recuperados do acervo do “Carriço Film”. Em agosto, o Centro Cultural Murilo Mendes recebeu uma exposição de fotografias e exibiu a filmadora usada pelo cineasta.

Augusto Costa explica a importância de João Carriço para o cinema de Juiz de Fora.

A história

João Gonçalves Carriço nasceu em 27 de Julho de 1886, filho de um português com uma austríaca. Ele vivenciou um período de muitas mudanças no Brasil. O fim do modelo escravocrata, a transição da monarquia para a república, a Revolução de 30, a Era populista de Vargas e a desenvolvimentista de JK. No mundo, vivia-se a época de ouro do cinema. Aos 16 anos de idade, Carriço fogiu para o Rio de Janeiro, capital federal, onde passa os primeiros anos do século XX. Aprendeu cenografia e esteve sempre ligado ao meio artístico, convivendo com os melhores cenógrafos da época.

No final dos anos 20, já em Juiz de Fora, casado e com um filho, ele resolve montar um cinema para o povo, o Cine Popular, com o lema “o que passa para um, passa para cem”. Quem não tinha dinheiro acabava entrando. O cinema é modesto, mas a programação tinha lançamentos simultâneos com o Rio de Janeiro.

O primeiro cinejornal produzido por Carriço focaliza a saída de uma matine do Cine Teatro Popular em 1928 e mantém a produção até 1956. Seus filmes não são patrocinados pelo poder público ou pela elite, mas pela funerária herdada do pai. Em 1934, ele exibe seu primeiro jornal de tela sobre o carnaval de Juiz de Fora. Seus cinejornais chegam a ter várias imagem do presidente Getúlio Vargas, inclusive documentando sua visita à cidade em 1945. No mesmo ano, Carriço é o primeiro a fazer uma foto de Vargas no exílio. Há também 10 cinejornais com reportagem que cobrem o tema Jucelino Kubitschek. Mas os cinejornais não eram feitos só da elite. Augusto explica sobre isso.

As inscrições para os concursos são gratuitas. A do de vídeos deve ser feita na Funalfa e a do “Assim Era Carriço…” deve ser feita nas escolas. Outras informações com a Funalfa, Av. Rio Branco, 2234, telefone 3690-7044.

Come di seguito riportiamo le probabili formazioni di Fiorentina – Sporting Lisbona:

FIORENTINA (4-2-3-1): 1 Frey, 25 Comotto, 3 Dainelli, 5 Gamberini, 19 Gobbi, 18 Montolivo, 15 Zanetti, 32 Marchionni, 10 Mutu, 6 Vargas, 11 Gilardino. In panchina: 35 Avramov, 2 Kroldrup, 23 Pasqual, 4 Donadel, 20 Jorgensen, 24 Santana, 8 Jovetic. All: Prandelli.

 
SPORTING LISBONA (4-3-1-2): 1 Rui Patricio, 5 Pedro Silva, 3 Carriço, 4 Polga, 55 Marques, 28 Joao Moutinho, 8 Rochemback, 24 Miguel Veloso, 14 Mati Fernandez, 20 Djalò, 31 Liedson. In panchina: 16 Tiago, 78 Abel, 12 Caneira, 6 Adrien Silva, 25 Pereirinha, 18 Grimi, 9 Saleiro. All: Paulo Bento.

Quella che scenderà stasera in campo è una Fiorentina molto motivata, perchè vuole un posto nell’Europa che conta, e poi soprattutto se passa il turno beneficierà di un triplicamento del suo budget, questo potrebbe significare l’arrivo di un centrale (attualmente molto quotato Miranda del San Paolo). Stasera Prandelli ritrova Zanetti, uscito un pò malconcio all’andata, ancora una volta Gobbi è favorito a Pasqual come terzino sinistro, per il resto è una Fiorentina formato andata, anche per il modulo.

E’ uno Sporting indebolito quello che scenderà stasera al Franchi, viste le assenze di Vukcevic, per squalifica, e di Caceido e Postiga per infortunio. Lo schema scelto da Bento sarà ancora il 4-3-1-2, con Mati Fernandez alle spalle di Liedson e Djalò. Il centrocampo e la difesa dovrebbero essere gli stessi della gara d’andata, con Rochemback al posto dell’autore del goal del momentaneo 1-1, poi espulso.

The story of my second great-grandfather Crist Hayes Carrico is a very sad one indeed. Once a prominant civil engineer employed by the railroads, Crist Carrico died a grisly death on a dark and lonely country road.

His once-respected life had devolved into that of the “town drunk”, a lost soul.

At the time of his death, Crist Carrico was divorced from my second great-grandmother and estranged from his only child, my great-grandmother Marie Stanley. When I began my genealogical research, my aunt tossed this photo onto my notebook and when I asked who this very distinguished-looking gentleman was, she stated, “That’s MaMaw Stanley’s father.” When I asked more about him, she said he died in New Mexico…and that was it. Basically, he was a non-person to our family.

But I was immediately intrigued. What could this man have possibly done that was so bad that, in the eyes of my family, he essentially never existed to begin with?

Well, after a few years of looking and the aid of a wonderful RAOGK (Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness) volunteer, I had a few answers:

1. Crist Hays Carrico was never accepted by his in-laws. Apparently he was never “good enough” for the daughter of a highly-respected local surgeon and Civil War veteran.
2. He divorced the daughter of said highly-respected local surgeon and Civil War veteran.
3. He became the “town drunk” and died a horrible death, directly related to alcoholism:

When I received these newspaper clippings, I tried to get Crist Carrico’s death certificate. It was apprently misfiled somewhere, as I have been unable to locate it at either the local or the state archives.

Recently, the FamilySearch Record Search site added the New Mexico Death Records 1889-1945 collection to its site. And here is Crist Carrico’s record:

Not much detail, and maybe whoever created this index was a drinking buddy of my second great-grandfather (just kidding , since the name was misspelled!)

My point is: first the index, later the actual images… maybe someday soon I will have Crist Hays Carrico’s death certificate!

Craig Manson over at Geneablogie has started a new meme which I think is important since it gets the surnames in my genealogy research info out into the blogosphere.  As Craig put it:

“List the surnames you are researching and the general localities. Then tell the names of your “Most Wanted Ancestors,” that is, the ones you most want to find behind that brickwall.”

Great idea!

Del. Bill Carrico’s bid to put an end to the Virginia State Police’s regulation of its chaplains’ prayers was shot down in a Senate committee Monday.

The Senate Courts of Justice Committee voted 8-7 to kill House Bill 2314, which would have prohibited state officials from instructing state police volunteer chaplains to avoid referring to religion — including the name of Jesus Christ — during prayers at department-sanctioned events.

Senators voting against the measure were wary of violating the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment against laws “respecting an establishment of religion,” but Carrico, R-Grayson County, said that by killing his bill they were still promoting a religion — “the ‘no-God’ religion.”

“I’ll be back,” Carrico said after the vote. “I’m not quitting. I’ve never quit on any issue. … This is bigger than me. The Christian faith has been persecuted in this country for too long, and I think [people] are getting tired of it.”

A reaction statement from the Family Foundation, a socially conservative advocacy group, was more strongly worded: “The birthplace of religious freedom is now the home of censorship and bigotry.”

The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia, which had threatened to sue if the bill passed, used similar language in a statement that implied the death of the bill was a blow for “our most fundamental notions of religious freedom and equality.”

Carrico — a retired state trooper — had introduced the legislation in response to a controversy that erupted last year when state police Superintendent Steve Flaherty issued a directive instructing the department’s chaplains not to pray in the name of Jesus at department-sanctioned events such as the agency’s academy graduation ceremony and its annual memorial service.

Six troopers subsequently resigned from the chaplaincy program because of the directive, which was issued in response to a 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in a case involving prayer at Fredericksburg City Council meetings.

Carrico’s bill — which would have scrapped that policy — passed the House on a 66-30 vote but ran into trouble in the Senate committee, which had already killed a similar but broader bill earlier this month. That measure — Senate Bill 1072 — would have prohibited not just state police, but also any other government entity, from regulating the content of prayers at public meetings or events.

That bill, killed on a 9-6 vote, would have affected local deliberative bodies such as the Roanoke City Council, where controversy erupted in December, when Vice Mayor Sherman Lea, who is also a preacher, asked that his name be removed from a list of ministers used to offer invocations at council meetings. Lea’s request came after he received a complaint about an oblique reference to Jesus during the opening invocation of a council meeting.

Carrico’s bill was more narrowly drawn, but despite the reassurance from an attorney general’s representative that the bill could be successfully defended in court, it stirred many of the same concerns about violating the U.S. Constitution’s establishment clause.

Michael Shochet, chaplain for the Fairfax County Police Department and the Washington field office of the FBI who also serves as a cantor at Temple Rodef Shalom, said the bill went too far in allowing clergy to “push” their religion.

“When I don my police uniform, I am no longer representing my congregation as a Jewish clergy,” Shochet told the committee. “Instead, I am representing the government, and therefore the public is my congregation. The prayer is not about me: It is about helping all those needing to get through a time of distress.”

After hearing testimony from Shochet and others, Sen. Thomas Norment, R-Williamsburg, successfully proposed amendments that would have inserted the phrase “nonsectarian” through Carrico’s bill, which would have essentially enshrined Flaherty’s policy into state code. Carrico said he’d strike the bill if it passed as amended.

Instead, however, Sen. John Edwards, D-Roanoke, moved the bill be killed, with the ensuing vote falling on party lines.

I don’t know what the truth of this is. Kaine is vehemently denying that he told anyone they couldn’t use the words “Jesus Christ” in prayer.

——–

At least five Virginia State Police chaplains have resigned after being told they must refrain from using words like “Jesus” and “Christ.”

Superintendent W. Steven Flaherty, reportedly concerned about offending people of other faiths, directed the agency’s 17 chaplains to begin delivering neutral or nondenominational prayers at functions such as trooper graduation ceremonies and its annual memorial service for fallen officers, the Richmond Times-Dispatch says.

“The department recognizes the importance of a state government agency to be inclusive and respectful of the varied ethnicities, cultures and beliefs of our employees, their families and citizens at large,” Flaherty said in a statement.

Flaherty cited as justification a recent ruling by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals which upheld a Fredericksburg City Council ban on sectarian prayer. Flaherty’s office denied that Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine’s administration was behind the decision.

Five members of the state police’s 29-year-old chaplaincy corps have quit their ministries in protest. All of them being sworn officers, they remain on staff as such.

Rex Carter, one of the resigning chaplains, argued he should have the right to pray “how I believe, regardless of whether somebody agrees or not,” saying “There’s a fine line — but it’s a hard line — between an individual’s right to pray versus what is considered state-sponsored speech.”

Sgt. Glenn Phillips, another department chaplain, said the chaplaincy was never meant to be a pulpit to “to further fight the government as it encroaches on religion.”

“Nobody’s been asked to deny their faith or anything like that,” he told the Richmond Times-Dispatch.”I’m a Christian, and I don’t think that Jesus would look at this as necessarily a good thing.”

State police spokeswoman Corinne Geller noted that the policy does not prohibit chaplains from making religious references at private ceremonies or in individual counseling.

Emphasizing that the policy change is not aimed at Christianity, she said the department has not received any complaints about religious references.

Virginia General Assembly Delegate Charles W. Carrico, a former state trooper, is protesting the decision.

“You don’t check your religious beliefs at the door just because you’re hired by the state and are a member of the department,” he said, characterizing the decision as the “separation of Jesus and state.”

“What we have here is an attack on the name of Jesus, on the name of Christ. And I’m not going to sit back and just let it happen,” Carrico continued, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Carrico stated he intends to introduce legislation to address the issue.

Last week it was the 60’s theme.  This week the Season 7 American Idol contestants will throw on the polyester, and rock out to the 70’s. 

Though I don’t know what songs each contestant will chose, I can tell you what to expect.  Expect to here covers of Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and/or the Commodores.  Timeless classics, which are safe enough to perform, when only given 5 days to prepare. 

The guys will have to do better than last week.  The judges certainly made it clear that the girls faired better during 60’s week.  Look for the nerves to go away slightly.  And the cream to rise to the top.

In my opinion, there is a huge gap, from top to bottom.  Start with the bottom.  David Hernandez and Luke Menard appear to be the most vulnerable this week.  Though neither is flat out terrible, neither bring any flare or originality to their performances.  Chikezie Eze and Jason Yeager need to really focus on song choice.  Last week, their song choices were not good.  Every performance from here on out, needs to be heart felt, and true.  If you don’t feel the song, and give a believable performance, you’re hanging yourself.  The mid-pack for me, is David Archuleta, Robbie Carrico, and Danny Noriega.  All three show great stage presence.  Obviously comfortable on stage.  But they all have a significant flaw.  Archuleta’s voice is severely under developed. (almost pre-pubescent)  Carrico has the Bucky Covington disease, in which he tends to goes through periods of mumbling lyrics.  Noriega is just flat out too feminine.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to be politically incorrect here, but honestly, this is suppose to be ‘guys night’ to perform.  That leaves the cream of the crop.  Michael Lee Johns is far and away, the front runner.  He is the total package.  I’d be shocked if Johns didn’t make at the very least, the Final 2.  David Cook is awfully impressive as well.  He might have some problems with the diversity of themes, like his comparison of Chris Daughtry, but Cook is so polished and confident, he should be in the Final 5.  And Jason Castro.  I liked his performance last week, and feel he is talented.  My main concern is that Castro is such a throw back, that when he is pressed upon to be perform contemporary music, he’ll look out of sorts.  Even still, Castro looks confident, and could find himself making it as far as the final 8.

So what two guys will get the boot this week?  For what its worth, I’ll put my money on Luke Menard and Chikezie Eze being sent home.  Then again, I haven’t seen the performances yet, so what do I know?

Enjoy the show, check back tomorrow for a Guys Recap and Girls Preview.

Parliament out!

…I have started transcribing the transcription of the Limestone County marriage records. For the first week that I had the cd containing the records, I didn’t do anything with it. Allergy season is really bad this year!!! But, I finally started the job on Tuesday, and I am currently on page 5. I hope to do 2 pages per day, for the total of 33 pages. It is really very interesting. It’s a bit of a challenge to read Miss Mullins’ handwriting, although it is usually very clearly written. The problem is that she was taught (1920’s?) to make certain letters differently from how I was taught (1960’s). For example, her “G” looks almost like my “Y”. But after a couple of pages, I have gotten used to her style and the work is progressing at a comfortable pace.
Last week I ordered the Fort Worth Genealogical Society’s 1890 Census Reconstruction for Tarrant County, Texas on cd. I did this mainly because the price was going up from $15 to $20:

“The US Census of 1890 was heavily damaged during a fire in 1921. Thirteen years later, the Census Bureau ordered the destruction of the remaining records. This gap in census records creates a huge obstacle for genealogists. This CD contains more than 131,000 records taken from 15 sources dating from 1880 through 1900. With this information, you should be able to determine the likelihood that a person or family resided in Tarrant County in 1890, thus working as a replacement for this portion of the lost census. Source documents used: 1880 Tarrant County Census * 1890 Tarrant County Tax List * 1890 Special Veterans Census ** 1890 Fort Worth City Directory * 1892 Fort Worth City Directory ** 1900 Tarrant County Census * Obituaries and news from the Fort Worth Gazette ** Masonic Membership Records 1889 & 1890 ** The Texas State Gazetteer and Business Directory of 1890-1891 ** D.A.R. Burial Records of Tarrant County ** Pioneers Rest Cemetery Records ** S.E. Tarrant County Cemetery Inscriptions ** Cemeteries of Northeast Tarrant County ** Oakwood Cemetery Records ** Tarrant County Marriage Records, 1880-1900

Most of my family, from both sides, didn’t arrive in Tarrant County until the 1910-1920’s time period. So I didn’t think I had any ancestors to be found in this reconstruction, but bought it anyway. Who knows who might turn up sometime in future research!
So when the CD arrived a few days ago, I was wandering through the Surname Index, and there was my great-great grandfather Crist Carrico! I found him in the marriage records section. A bit more looking, and there was my great-great grandmother Hattie Kennedy, soon to be Crist Carrico’s wife. They were married in Tarrant County and no one in my family knew that until I bought that cd and started browsing through it!!!
What a lucky find this is! Now I need to make a trip to the downtown library to find said marriage book to learn the exact date of their wedding.
I’m so glad I bought that cd!

Today I added an RSS feed from Dick Eastman’s Online Genealogy Newsletter (with permission, of course!). Mr. Eastman has all the latest happenings from the world of genealogy! I read his newsletter every day and I frequently find something I can use, whether it be links to new databases, information on new genealogy software or advice for finding my sneaky great-great grandfather. A wonderful resource!
I returned home yesterday from visiting my dad for a couple of days. I had a wonderful time and really enjoyed my mini-vacation. But I didn’t neglect my research! Turns out my dad has faster web access than I do, so I was able to look for a few more folks at GenealogyBank. And I found a few references to my great-great grandfather Chris Carrico. I am slowly (very slowly!) tracking him down.
