GAUDETTE and H THOMAS 59 Dear Members, Summer came, gave us sunshine, heat and unusually much rain and is now on its way out already. Next week schools start again, and life will return to normal… or at least back to a more normal routine. As for many of you, our summer was very bvsy; the ‘cheap dollar’ brought many visitors from Belgium, and will bring us more next month. But we love to showoff ‘our’ Oregon, to introduce our relatives and friends to the vast expanses of this land and the relatively recent history of the settlement of the West. La Grande developed around the Old Oregon Trail, which runs through the southern edge of the town and celebrated its sesquicentennial (150 years) in 1993. The Interpretive Park on the Blue Mountain Crossing outside of La Grande, as well as the Interpretive Center in Baker City are places that deserve a stop for any traveler on Freeway I 84. When you come in our neighborhood, give us a call! In Belgium, our house was called: “In den Zoeten lnval” (The Dew Drop Inn)! – This is the official invitation, Jean Galoni!! As one of many Belgo-American happenings across the USA it was on Sunday August 6th that the Belgian Researchers held their first and very successful regional meeting in the Portland. Oregon area, in Boring, to be precise. Read the report elsewhere in this issual Hans Michael Vermeersch volunteered to be the Northwest coordinator and Belgian Laces contributor. He just moved, had to paint his house and arrange for a house lull of company (from Europe, of course. ) This meant that he was excused from writing the Northwest report this time. The Belgian Researchers keep on growing at a healthy pace: we welcome 18 new members in this issue, and handed out membership number 602. Member # 600 will receive a gift from the organization Look for it in the mail Kathleen! Will 1996 bring us membership 700? Remember your organization when you start thinking of little gifts for Back to School or Christmas: we have beautiful tri-color windsocks ($15 ea.) made by our Portland member Marleen Looyens; Being Belgian Is Beautiful bumper stickers ($ 4 ea.) that look great above a desk, in a dorm room, and on notebooks as well as on bumpers!; we also have lapel pins ($3 ea.): a Belgian-crossed with an American flag. All of these items proved to be very popular at the Belgian get-together in Boring, Oregon. The picture above, showing Pierre and myself working on Belgian Laces in our living room, was taken by new member Greg Van Tighem and was published in our local newspaper along with the article that he wrote about The Belgian Researchers. We copied the article in this issue. Keep up the good work, and remember our motto: Being Belgian is Beautiful! WELCOME NEW MEMBERS 585. Ray & Jan Calbert - San Diego, CA 586. Lynne T.

FL DINANT: Gateway to the Ardennes by Leen Inghels Beautifully situated along the River Meuse/Maas, which originates in France and flows into the Rhine in The Netherlands, lays the quite town of Dinant, province of Namur, Belgium; home of Adolph Sax (1814-1894), inventor of the Saxophone. The town hugs the banks of the Mouse, the mainstreet running a block above and parallel to the river The whole site is dominated by a sharply-rising stone cliff, which is topped by the Citadel, a fortress since before the 9th. century, destroyed, rebuilt, to be again destroyed and rebuilt throughout the ages The fortress today, like the citadel of Namur, dates fromthe 19th centuryand was built dwtng the Dutch period (1818-30). Immediately below the cliff stands the 13th. century Collegiate Church of Notre Dame, featured on the cover of this issue of Belgian Laces. On the river in front of the church, the sightseeing boats leave regularly for tours through the countryside , some all the way up to the French border, others down river toward Namur, capital of the province of Namur. Not far from Dinant are the Grottes de Han , most beautiful caves on one of the tributaries of the Meuse, the river Lesse, and just one of the many spectacular eaves to be visited in the Ardennes. On the right bank of the Meuse, at the foot of the citadel rock, stands The Collegiate Church of Notre Dame, a fine Gothic church, consecrated in 1240, whose bulbous Baroque spire is the Landmark of the town. In spite of its many restorations, the Collegiate remains one of the most representative examples of Gothic architecture of the lath. century in the region. Its origins are quite ancient, as suggested by the dedication to “Notre Dame”. It was first mentioned in the treaty of Meersen in 870 as “Abbaye de Sainte Marie (abbey of Holy Mary) as one of several royal abbeys offered to Charles the Bald, grandson of Charlemagne. In 934, the Bishop of Liege initiates there a Chapter of Canons, witch elevates the church to the status of ‘Collegiate Church”. Dinant has remained a stronghold of the Bishopric of Liege and was the summer residence of its Bishop. The original church. of which there is absolutely no traces left, was replaced by a Romanesque church in the 12th century. During partial excavations conducted in October 1978 have unearthed a section of a roman wall, parallel to the northem transepts. The portal in volcanic rock of the Meuse in quite dire condition on the north site of today’s church, is the only remnant of the Romanesque building. That entree is waited-in today. It supposedly was the original entrance, the main portal of the east facade of the church. In 1227, a large portion of the building collapsed under an enormouus boulder cascading down from the cliff above. It is said, that thirty six people died in the natural disaster The church was then completely reconstructed and modeled after the churches in Burgundy and Champagne. where a new architectural sW4e developed: the Gothic Started in the 1227, the Collegiate was to be finished in 1279. In the year 1466, the church falls victim to war with France and fire destroys parts of the church. Among other works of art, an immensely large “verrière”, or glass dome, is totally destroyed, which is then replaced by the work of an artist by the name of Ladon de Band, a Flemish artist of the period from the city of Ghent. Interesting detail: there is a side altar or chapel which displays the Coats of Arms of the British Royalty and of the City of London on the ribs and the keystone of the ceiling vaulting, which gives it the surnamo of “Chapel of the English Company”, and commemorates international trade for which Dinant was a hub in its time. Among its specialties, still prominent today, is first the “Dinanterie”, hand-crafted, engraved copper works, large and small, reputed the world over; and the “couques de Dinant”, a hard, tough gingerbread confection, baked in molds which are often real masterpieces of woodcarving. It comes in sizes up to three and four feet tall (like Saint Nicholas on his horse with his helper at his side in the holiday season) or smaller gems, depicting flower arrangements, copies of famous art works, city silhouettes and many others… But Dinant has seen more catastrophes and was involved in every war that affected the Meuse valley: the fire and the plunder of the city by the Burgundian Charles the Bold in 1466 , the passage of the troupes of the Duc de Nevers in 1554, the pillage of the Collegiate and thetown during the French Revolution, the fire of 1914, first year of the first World War and more recently ~ If and the fringes of the Battle 01 the Bulge.

  • Landslides in Belgium—Two Case Studies in the Flemish Ardennes and the Pays De 20 Herve
    Landslides in Belgium—Two Case Studies in the Flemish Ardennes and the Pays de 20 Herve Olivier Dewitte, Miet Van Den Eeckhaut, Jean Poesen and Alain Demoulin Abstract Most landslides in Belgium, and especially the largest features, do not occur in the Ardenne, where the relief energy and the climate conditions seem most favourable. They appear in regions located mainly north of them where the lithology consists primarily of unconsolidated material. They develop on slopes that are relatively smooth, and their magnitude is pretty large with regard to that context. An inventory of more than 300 pre-Holocene to recent landslides has been mapped. Twenty-seven percent of all inventoried landslides are shallow complex landslides that show signs of recent activity. The remaining landslides are deep-seated features and rotational earth slides dominate (n > 200). For such landslides, the average area is 3.9 ha, but affected areas vary from 0.2 to 40.4 ha. The exact age of the deep-seated landslides is unknown, but it is certain that during the last century no such landslides were initiated. Both climatic and seismic conditions during the Quaternary may have triggered landslides. The produced landslide inventory is a historical inventory containing landslides of different ages and triggering events. Currently, only new shallow landslides or reactivations within existing deep-seated landslides occur. The focus on the Hekkebrugstraat landslide in the Flemish Ardennes allows us to understand the recent dynamics of a large reactivated landslide. It shows the complexity of the interactions between natural and human-induced processes. The focus on the Pays the Herve allows for a deeper understanding of landslide mechanisms and the cause of their origin in natural environmental conditions.

  • 'Tout-À-La-Fois Cultivateurs Et Commerçans': Smallholder and the Industrious Revolution in Eighteenth-Century Brabant
    ‘Tout-à-la-fois cultivateurs et commerçans’: smallholder and the Industrious Revolution in eighteenth-century Brabant* smallholders and the industrious revolution in brabant by Johan Poukens Abstract Hitherto, pessimism about the material living standards of Belgian peasants during the eighteenth century has largely dominated the historiography. This article argues for a more positive outlook on the capacity of smallholders (handwerkers) to improve their standard of living. In the duchy of Brabant in the second half of the eighteenth century they could benefit from the rising grain prices by reserving part of their land for the cultivation of wheat for urban markets. The introduction of the potato was key to this process because it freed up land formerly reserved for growing food for household consumption. I argue that their market-oriented behaviour could be characterized as an Industrious Revolution because smallholders became consumers of urban luxury items such as colonial groceries. Innkeepers in particular played a pivotal role in the diffusion of these urban consumer practices throughout the countryside. Travellers who visited the duchy of Brabant (one of the principalities in the territory of present-day Belgium) in the second half of the eighteenth century were impressed by the density of its population. Dérival de Gomicourt, who visited the province in 1782, noticed that the villages were ‘more populated and better built’ (‘plus peuplés et mieux bâtis’) there than in his native France.1 One of his countrymen had already noticed in 1768 that the entire province had the appearance of ‘a single city’ (‘une seule et même ville’) because cities, towns and villages were so close together.2 The Brabantine urbanization rates were indeed amongst the highest in Europe.

  • Ethnic Diversity in Wisconsin
    Ethnic Diversity in Wisconsin Kazimierz J Zaniewski Presentation for the History Sandwiched In lecture series sponsored by the Wisconsin Historical Museum August 13, 2013 At the time of European discovery and colonization of North America, there were about four million Native Americans in what is now the United States. The trans-Atlantic slave trade, practiced for three centuries prior to the early 1800s, had brought over 470 thousand Africans to this country. Since our independence, we have admitted over 78 million immigrants, originally mainly from Europe, later from Asia and Latin America. Consequently, the United States (a nation of immigrants) has become a mosaic of races and cultures, and this great human and cultural diversity is visible in almost every part of America, including Wisconsin. This presentation on ethnic diversity in our state will be divided into three parts. The first part will focus on diversity in terms of race and Hispanic origin of Wisconsin’s population. The second part will examine diversity among the white population, predominantly of European origin, in terms of ancestry. In both parts, emphasis will be put on immigration history and geographic distribution of major racial and ethnic groups in Wisconsin. The last part of the presentation will be devoted to the discussion of selected outcomes of ethnic diversity in our state. Racial and Hispanic Origin Groups According to the 2010 census data, over 16% of Wisconsin’s population (almost 950 thousand) belongs to one of several racial/ethnic minority groups. African Americans (350 thousand) comprise the largest minority group in our state; the Hispanic or Latino population (336 thousand) forms the second largest group.
