tragic TRIBUTE: Interview with Fernando Alegría Ramírez (FAR)
Identified by their distinctive style to give the note red Fernando Alegría Ramirez, better known as FAR, he is a cheerful, positive and very proud of his Zoque. He confesses that his nearly seventy years, believed to be about to close their life cycle. However, he has released countless accidents and deaths, not like that his death was recorded in a newspaper. The reason is that if his meeting with give the bony while enjoying their favorite food, run the risk of writing: the FAR "was killed by a neck of jolote." Joy is not only his surname, he is a representation of it. A talk with "FAR" is not wasted.
-FAR seal in the police information is unmistakable. What leads you to tell the stories of how they do it?
I started in the red note from 1968, until now, as we say, and it rained, but we are still ready to fight. I said Don Gervasio, and you never a dejar de escribir, hijo, vas a querer dejar y no vas a poder, la misma máquina te va a llamar, y es cierto.
–¿Se considera heredero de las enseñanzas de Gervasio Grajales?
No mucho, pero sí le agradezco algo de lo que él me enseñó y que Dios me iluminó para acertar. Hasta ahorita vamos sin tropiezo, gracias a Dios.
–¿Por qué cuenta las historias en esa forma tan, digamos, “cómica”?
¿Eso de que le partió la cabeza, le quebró el hueso, la tap? The phrases I use on all my items of note in red and all my notes for the radio and all my shares in public, do it with tuxtlecos terms because those terms mean. People who do not understand I write socially and less medical terms, so when there is a death and I for the data and tells me the doctor or the lifeguard, we found the prone, I understand what the prone but which I going to hear or read do not know what it is, then I say how it is: embrocate. So I say "The body was embrocate as Gabino Barrera" because, according to the run, Gabino Barrera fell as kissing embrocate land. But to write all that thoroughly, I think it is because I walked a lot of time walking when he was a Bohemian, because I was the canteen and do not drink right now but when I was young I took from 14 to age 38 years. And that trip also taught me a lot of experience.
"So you, and you are not going through any toucan.
No, I can not cross a toucan and a red label unless it is already more expensive.
"Then what is already" amampó "the soul?
already are wanting me amampar soul.
laugh After the surprise of the question, Ferdinand returns to the theme and said that before writing checks to see if his way of saying things is consistent with the information being handled, looking even some phrase from a song, it helps reinforce the image you want to project. "For example, when I say: it was found, there was homeless, sleeping on the sidewalk, then I can say, as Cuco Sanchez said 'the sky for a roof and I have no blanket over the sun,' and there it goes." Clarifies that "it is not force" that will see the body because for it is enough to be told how the body is and where is the projectile, because with that information and experience so many years in the case, you know where the robber stood, how he got the shot and how the deceased fell. "That to fall tatarateó, and if there are no traces of blood on the wall, insurance fell from his mouth."
-A part of the Red Cross and the Public Ministry, what other ways have to get your information?
Insurance [Social], the ISSSTE. Sometimes I say there is a dead man the ISSSTE, I'm fast and interviewed the family. In the hospital meeting a terrible picture: running blood to the patient, the mother or the woman crying on the side, which does not have a dime, he's going to be people who do not know what to do, then there is pain human, no longer questioned regarding what I know, but better talk to her, and did you tell him something, no, I tell you right now I come, I bring a coffee, whatever, and then I started to talk, that so and so my son is here, he got shot, I gave my friend, and there I took the data.
"The protagonists of his stories I congratulate him on demand or publish their cases.
There is no claim, including some fijate tell me you did this happen to so and so, [I say] but I said the other papers, [I answer] but I like to tell you, decyl, and there you say. Like, I do not know, I do not know what they like but in the radio frequency where I'm looking for people that where I was, ah, I find.
- And where is he?
I'm with Mr. Mario Aquino in ORM News Tassie in the EU. Behind Kaliman I go.
"So calm and patience ...
Yes, and look that is several times that I was born. I was born here in the neighborhood of La Lomita. A president wanted to blow the wall but confused the neighborhoods, here put Cerrito neighborhood and here it is. Here began the Lomita seventy years ago. A huge hill! A hill was.
Mr. Joy's face shows the emotion that makes you remember where you were born and grew up next to his parents and nine siblings. The house in which he played and heard his father talk zoque language, with the corner druggist. The smell of Chincua, the custard apple, mesquite, fruit that arose in the family courtyard.
- Why not publish photos of your notes?
Firstly I do not want to walk camera ... There go around with the camera, no, no. If there is any photo you give me the good, there is for publication, but for me to go there [to camera], no. No use or notebook to take data. Says one person out there who knows, "The only book that does not use all the time, is the FAR. Neither in the speeches or anything. What is hearing the speech and the day it is published as saying. "Sometimes, said Don Gervasio," The speech was made on television, copied by FAR. " Because what I copied and therefore light, [with] a sign that God made me that I invented and only I understand, is shorthand but only I know what you mean there. [When is said] Let's see, what will I put here? I'm going along and say, means Lourdes, for example.
- Have you considered a profession? Nothing more
sixth year of primary school in the ICACHE and fourth year of Normal, there [were] cut short my career because I took over the bar. Ja! I experience so I have to say these things, you're going to reach the owner but if you stop drinking, if not the bar you will absorb and you will break up, and there are going to be pulled, you will no longer be useful.
- The syntax and spelling errors are part of your style or are beyond their control?
are within my style. I've been telling me that Professor Gaspar Jiménez: syntax and all that is good but the important thing is that the reader understands, maybe not able to interpret, then simply tell them that. I thank God reject any suggestion, I accept everything, even Cobach students who say such a thing, [I answer] I'll analyze it to see who, if so, as they say. Because you never have to neglect or discard what you do not know, you must first learn to say that does not work, right? I am one of those.
- Death will cause laughter or fear?
Well, I do not cause death or laughter or fear, I see it as a natural thing you have to register .. And there is reason to mourn, is cause death with joy because it brings you out of trouble. It's a relief, for example, if you have an incurable disease, the family does not want to poison or you want to give a shot, only death is and takes it out of trouble. When you pass one into another dimension and is a more tranquil. After dying of a hangover, I just ninety days when the teacher died Agustín Lara, me and Don Gervasio, I dunno, it felt much death, but no, it was so, it is drinking. So I, in my crude ninety days! The guys [today] to get drunk one night, Mary!, And are dying, say those can not stand, no. Then she sighs and death and he continues. I wanted to die. Then came the death! He looked at me and said, now, and get me, stared at me, laughed and said no. He turned and went, and again left me in purgatory.
- And how did he quit?
Because I understood that alcoholism destroys and exit. Alcoholism just health, talent, sociology and all that ... social, cultural. For alcoholism is no barrier that will stop, then I learned, and I know that is a progressive and incurable disease. Since then I stopped drinking and started working with my friends and fellow drunks. That is the task that I have now thirty-two years [by].
- gives journalism for a living?
Well to eat them. To live all da work now to assume not. Because you have to understand things, to assume that this and the other, only that I'm PRI of the first order. But do not sell newspapers and reports, will not teach and write a new account of the Bible. Serves food and children and up there. If you get sick, then take your cinnamon tea!
- What other activities? I
business records, I do my newsletter, my newspaper, I get to deliver my newspaper, I get to ship, arrived in a tortilla dough raise, to lift pots, and there I am winning.
- How to combine that with his work in the newspaper?
Everything can be done, always running. Everything. Is that no one can say, Oh, I have no time, I'm here, I'm busy ... That's what the people who can not live, but we know life is going to be paired, you will say: until then I can. As I say, of 8:00 to 22:00 or talk on the phone because I will not answer, I'm in the [Alcoholics Anonymous]. If you killed a bishop, then I will go and fetch the data, is not going to run away and was killed, thank God he's dead, and not flee. Now, if an offender who is being held, there indeed can be stripped because it gives them [the authorities] a bill of five hundred police and released, is also not having much force the defendant and was jerking, lying, the police relented with a billetote, because "a Cuahtémoc" softens more than tallow.
- Until death with it!?
Yes I spoke many newspapers and I still talk to write. But I say: no, I am of You! The village tells the kid [distributor], give me a newspaper of FAR, they say the is! A FAR newspaper. Yes, here it is, the little kids know that is it is!
canasteros Are there on Calvary, when I pass I yell Don FAR, FAR gift! Damn, pure scum. I lower my car and I say What! Ya want your newspaper, there is one. Thanks Don FAR. Come and take a rice pudding! So when someone looks, neighbors say, yes, but Don FAR not you going to find, he is in the street eating with shippers, with the stevedores. These are the people. And look, all these people teaches you how to talk and even teaches you what happened and where is the customer, everything. But if you're going to show anger as the mother who lifts weights and he likes the box, do not say anything. I refer to the mother of the song that says, knows blacksmith and mechanic knows, lift weights and likes the box, then then that is a camotuda note and if I leave up to me, yes.
- What is your favorite movie or cop show?
I have no preference for film. Before I liked John Orol, gangster, the gambler, how to kill ...
"You identify with the characters.
Not very. I've never been addicted to it. Or television, unless I'm seeing the Bacardi, we take the quality, you set the goal that will take. No, I do not like. Or read novel. Leo newspaper, yes, national and international, preferably the [section] police.
- What about politics?
I can not say because he entered the very policy. It makes me despair. I've always said that there is neither political, rebels there. Ah! I'm going to sue the guy, that I'm going to sue. Well, what will Gabino Barrera?, What will Ignacio Bernal? Those of revolutionary ballads. What will Simon Blanco to these kids today? No, no, I can not speak of politics.
- What about justice?
Does the earth or the divine? Because there are two, the divine takes but it is effective.
- And the earth?
That I do not know, because it softens, as I said. Sometimes it is hard but if you put a billetón, softened, you're right, I think not, it is. Not that I want to pay, like the portrait that leads the ticket, so it expires.
FAR is convinced that Mexico has the best laws, the best constitution and does not need reform, but "there needs to be able to apply the law and everyone will be happy, but until there is a law applicable as such, there will be no peace. "It seems that the word" brings some memory, perhaps because their ancestors before leaving comments that has a premonition that he will die in May, "... because I was born in May. On May 30, 1934. And I have to die, I'm gonna close my cycle of life. "
- And how he would like his death was announced in the newspaper?
I think better not announce it if I died eating, like my favorite food holiday is the jolote, jolote mole and not any body part jolote but neck and neck, could say, "I killed a jolote nape" or "He went through his neck."
Laughter, like the FAR style is spontaneous. His sense of humor does not leave even when recalls that of his nine siblings, four have died. "Already reeling off the cob, but boys are not dying, I was the last and I have almost seventy years. Well, is the first how old is she? "
Fernando Alegría Ramirez, better known as FAR, 35 years doing shout the paper is red! and 30 on the radio. His style tuxtleco "to narrate the facts is unmistakable.
