  • Have Some Madera, M'dear

    Have Some Madera, M'dear

    HAVE SOME MADERA, M’DEAR Story and photos by John Blanchette Quiet lanes flow through the Madera Wine Trail It was the July 4th weekend and I was headed into the Central Valley to visit Madera County and one of California’s oldest wine growing areas. The San Joaquin Valley can be blistering hot this time of year and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Temperatures soared to 105 degrees. As my car drove on Route 99, slicing through this wide, flat and fertile plane that stretches over 200 miles between Bakersfield and Stockton, crops and livestock passed my window like an expanded grocery market. Table grapes, sugar cane, corn, tomatoes, citrus, peaches, plums, apricots, strawberries, watermelons, pistachio, pecan, Cattle range in the shadow of Giant Eucalyptus www.aiwf.org SAVOR THIS • OCTOBER 2010 15 almond, pomegranate and walnut trees, pigs, cattle, sheep, and dairy cows, etc. in abundance. One farmer told me that the topsoil is unlimited and all they need is water to grow their crops. And that’s a major problem. The current draught has caused some farmers to let their fields go fallow. The city of Madera, located 38 miles from the geographic center of California, derives its name from the Spanish word for wood, which was harvested in the Yosemite Valley foothills and shipped from Madera to build San Francisco and other area communities in the 1800s. The Madeira wine produced on the Portuguese Vineyards run to the mountains island made famous by the bawdy English tune I was off to confirm this as I explored the Madera “Have Some Madeira, m’Dear” is just a coincidence.

The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions. Switzerland‘s first report was submitted to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe in September 1999. Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).

  • Sentiero Del Lago Di Lugano

    Sentiero Del Lago Di Lugano

    SENTIERO DEL LAGO DI LUGANO Descrizione Il Sentiero Lago di Lugano si snoda come una «S» da Magliaso al Monte Ceneri, compie un ampio arco lungo il confine fino a Lugano e, via Morcote e Monte Generoso, scende nel Mendrisiotto. Un'attrazione segue l'altra, a cominciare dalla famosa traversata in cresta dal Monte Lema al Mon- te Tamaro, con la chiesa di Botta all'Alpe Foppa. Seguono i calcarei Denti della Vecchia con il Mon- te Boglia, probabilmente il più bel punto panoramico del Sottoceneri e, dopo Lugano, si segue il frequentato sentiero che via Monte San Salvatore porta al pittoresco paese di Morcote. Sull'altro lato del lago meritano indubbiamente una visita i fossili preistorici (dinosauri) sul Monte San Gior- gio. Il Monte Generoso e la Valle di Muggio offrono uno sguardo avvincente sulle valli più meridio- nali della Svizzera. Ogni tappa merita da sola un viaggio, senza che sia necessario percorrerle tutte in una volta sola. Itinerario Il percorso comprende 9 tappe adatte alle escursioni giornaliere. Tappa 1: Lugano (Magliaso) – Miglieglia (9 km) Tappa 2: Miglieglia – Capanna Tamaro (16 km) Tappa 3: Capanna Tamaro – Medeglia (21 km) Tappa 4: Medeglia – Capanna Monte Bar (10 km) Tappa 5: Capanna Monte Bar – Capanna Pairolo (18 km) Tappa 6: Capanna Pairolo – Monte Brè (12 km) Tappa 7: Lugano (Paradiso) – Morcote (14 km) Tappa 8: Morcote – Riva San Vitale (Capolago) (11 km) Tappa 9: Riva San Vitale (Monte Generoso) – Mendrisio (20 km) Difficoltà Le tappe che non sono di montagna sono facili e adatte a tutti. Quelle che prevedono sentieri di montagna (tappa da 2 a 6) richiedono uno sforzo in più.

Quinn: Canton Ticino And The Italian Swiss Immigration To California Canton Ticino and the Italian Swiss Immigration to California by Tony Quinn “The southernmost of Switzerland’s twenty-six cantons, the Ticino, may speak Italian, sing Italian, eat Italian, drink Italian and rival any Italian region in scenic beauty—but it isn’t Italy,” so writes author Paul Hofmann1 describing the one Swiss canton where Italian is the required language and the cultural tie is to Italy to the south, not to the rest of Switzerland to the north. Unlike the German and French speaking parts of Switzerland with an identity distinct from Germany and France, Italian Switzerland, which accounts for only five percent of the country, clings strongly to its Italian heritage. But at the same time, the Ticinese2 are fully Swiss, very proud of being part of Switzerland, and with an air of disapproval of Italy’s ever present government crises and its tie to the European Union and the Euro zone, neither of which Ticino has the slightest interest in joining.

While the paper records of American and European churches and civil bodies are now generally available on line, DNA opens a new avenue of research into the period well before the advent of written records. And it is allowing people to make connections heretofore impossible to make. Recent historical examples are nothing short of amazing. When the bodies thought to be the last Russian Czar and his family, murdered in 1918, were discovered, a 1998 test using the DNA of Prince Philip proved conclusively that the bodies were indeed the Czar and his family. That is because Prince Philip and the Czarina Alexandra shared the same maternal line, and thus the same mitochondrial DNA. Even more remarkable was the "king in the car park," a body found under a parking lot in England thought to be King Richard III, killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.
