The constable.

A July memories selection Catalá

Now in this February the 17th anniversary of his death I would talk about the beloved figure of Vico Manuel Serrano, Manuel or "Manolo" the sheriff was also popularly known by some.

are so many memories, stories, anecdotes about him I have that will be difficult to capture everything I wanted to tell. It would take a really fat book, so the profile of this great man, I will in two articles, both to remember. I will be lead by the heart to try to draw the most accurate approach to a man who all of a certain age armilleros sure remember fondly and that the younger, also I am sure, would have loved to know.

From the 40's, the postwar period, at 80 he worked at our City Hall, ( retired in 81) living on his premises with his family when the session was right in front of the church of San Miguel. Manolo, Manuel, was the "soul", that soul nearby, simple and generous, an institution that was at the head of a people very different from what is currently Armilla. A small town where the sheriff Manuel played multiple roles.

was a man who knew all along. I do not forget your figure with its distinctive walk (a war injury had produced a disability which resulted in a significant limp) with his gray uniform and peaked cap. My earliest memories, I was a child, associated with riding his old bike marching tirelessly from one place to another, or with a huge wooden ladder on his shoulder, going to change the "knobs" cast of street lighting (poor lighting, dim light bulbs sad they did that night, my people will be dark as pitch).

great friend of my father, he provided the successive volumes of The National Episodes D. Benito Perez Galdos, plenty of fine examples of historical novels bound in red hardcover (Manuel also tended with loving care funds books that had the Town Hall, you could say that was the germ of our current library). The most curious is that when my father finished reading the last one, again begin with the first ("Trafalgar", I remember it was called).

Man loved and appreciated by all and that everyone was from the utmost respect. His peculiar sense of humor and his fervent desire to facilitate as much as possible the lives of everyone who was stood in his way made him a character from here I offer my most sincere and humble tribute.

was many and varied crafts and tasks of this exceptional human being, always conducted with the utmost honesty and integrity. Then try to collect any of them (for surely that I forget more than one):

- "Manuel the sheriff" was responsible of the cell, a small room with a mattress in a sill and a window that overlooked the Calle Real. In this prison as "sui generis", where from time to time be entered to a "criminal" (people who normally disturbed the public order with little mischief, or even violated laws ancient dark age, as the "law of dangerousness social "). Manolo was the one who brought them coffee, food (meats prepared at home) or let them out to sun patio ("come on, jump in the sun for a while," foo ", but do not go away," eh?).

- "Manuel the sheriff" which was read water meters located in the stables and corrals of the home. I remember that in this task never lacked a joke, a joke with the residents of the house that always received with pleasure as his affable character. Is important to note that, after this first task, then made the receipts by hand, in his own handwriting, to later move to cash.

- At parties and celebrations I remember the plots, surrounded by urchins, balloons rising into the sky and "puppets" (paper lanterns, with a small flame inside that rose up to burn up there in heights)

- Manager to measure the fifth in the conference room of City Hall, was famous tap that gave each of them in the head with the wooden locker that was used for this purpose, which always caused laughter and jokes of zagalones (I specifically measured in the 69).

- No "Manuel the sheriff", no "Rosario de la Aurora", so there he was. Time. At five in the morning. Responsible for organizing and directing "Campanilleros" through the streets of Armilla.


- The keys to the cemetery were well guarded at home, so if someone wanted to go to the cemetery, was a house of Manuel Sheriff "where you had to go first.

- Before Armilla had running water, you would find with Manuel in the standpipe that was on top of organizing people, laughing and joking, the tails of the women who came for water.

- When it was time for chores street (as a collector of "gutter" of the taxes of the bars or masons search for municipal works, for example) you could see in the City (an institution which then had very few staff, the secretary and little more) in response to the public from documents, records and notices to machine (I remember like it was yesterday, typing with two fingers. Coal tracing between the two pages). Once told me how he was going to school as a child every two or three nights, then spent the day from dawn to dusk in the field plowing. His father gave him a shilling to pay the teacher every day he went.

- Assistant tireless of problems elsewhere, there you could see the papers by arranging for "fat bitch" from a neighbor or by calling (which was the only one in the town, the phone of the council) for a case of multiple births or emergency precipitated .

And that was not all .. Manuel said that the salary of the council had "for potatoes eggs .. if he had to look for more odd jobs." Father of five children and a tireless worker sought life in myriad ways over the map: the camera collector Quéntar urban and Dudar, a correspondent bank (could see it with his little rubber band folders where "enduring" the lyrics of small businesses until they could afford it), insurance billing, sales of coffins, a farmer from a small orchard and a thousand things but take the journey of a man who from six of the day faced with a life cheerful, transmitting at all times that joy to others.


We left at 93. Exactly on February 12. I remember all the people filling the atrium, the church, the plaza, the street. We all wanted to say goodbye to him. Manuel Serrano Vico. From our "Manuel the sheriff.." Peaceful, generous, upright, honest ... I think the history of peoples, the history of our peoples, is written by people like this. Simple and formal people through and through .. Beings who passed through the world to make life easier, more pleasant and bearable for others. A man who as Machado said was "in the best sense of the word, good" and that will always remain in the memory of all who were fortunate enough to be on your way.

Dear diary would be a very easy begin this notebook. There are many ways more original, however, the best way is at the beginning:

The alarm clock with a metal and not pleasant to my ears. I remember the mother zero the device and the sixth beep decide it is time to rise. I look out the window and I see that is an especially rainy Thursday. Hate

Thursday, in my 18 years of life only bad things have happened there. On 18 April nine years ago my mother suffered a car accident the next day (a Thursday) my mother's heart stopped. One year later (Other Thursday) my father dead of grief decides to take his life, leaving behind her two daughters in need of love.

It was not all bad, we moved to town with the grandparents. sure you will be thinking "poor girl, that child harder." But I never liked to inspire pity, I am telling you this because it is an important factor to understand my twisted personality . Why

where I was? Ah yes! it was raining. Unlike my fellow Galician, I hate the rain, I was embedded in the skin and holding me strong for not being able to move freely. Above may be an exaggeration but the truth is not pleasant to be soaked.

My room is a mixture of things broken and dirty stuff. Although, if you're lucky, underneath all that you can find a piece of clean clothes to wear. But do not forget, today was Thursday. So after posting the drawer underwear and not Find yourself a couple of matching socks and most importantly clean I opted for a mismatched that were clean by chance, one was pink and blue stripes and one blue and bears .

Face looked at him "no woman" and continues to spend the morning. At one tired of rants teachers, who are not interested in teaching but in the end the lesson and take coffee, I decided to follow suit and go to the cafeteria. I do not drink coffee , I hate but juice pineapple pirra me. Naomi has the same idea that I, as always, 5 minutes late, sits next to me.

"I will.

I wear the jacket as I can to cover up my artwork and leave the bathroom shotgun. I confess that my start was not elegant, nor happy ending tube. Collision with a boy, I drop everything and opens my jacket. Looks at me and laughs .

"If you stop and help me laugh you do a good deed.
