    The Baker and the General Practitioner Fons DeRoeck Writing ‘Letters from Wausaukee to Antwerp 1887 – 1937’, a book about my American family, I had to look up many people who came alive in these old letters. One of them was Alphonse (called Fons or Phonse) John DeRoeck who married Josepha (called Josephine, Josie or Jepha) Marie-Thérèsia Cornelia Debot in Wausaukee, Wisconsin, in 1897. Jeanette Slaets (née Joanna Wuyts) wrote in a letter of September 22, 1897 to her ‘Beloved’ mother-in-law Angelina Slaets in Antwerp, Belgium: ‘…Josepha is thinking of marrying again in springtime. This time to a Flemish boy (Fons DeRoeck) whose parents are also here. They live in Norway...’ Josepha Debot - DeRoeck Four years later (August 18, 1901) In the Michigan Iron county telephone Jeanette wrote: directory I found listed under Norway and its neighborhood, some DeRoecks and I wrote them a letter. That way I ‘…Josephine from Uncle Vic came in contact with several who helped (Victor N. Debot) had a little boy me with finding information, pictures (Leonard E.

  • Social Injustice to Floods in Flanders (Belgium): a GIS Analysis Tom Goosse1, Luuk Boelens2 & Hannelore Mees3
    Social Injustice to floods in Flanders (Belgium): a GIS analysis Tom Goosse1, Luuk Boelens2 & Hannelore Mees3 Abstract Flanders (Belgium) applies the Multi-Layered Water Safety concept to cope with Flood Risk Management (FRM). Next to the traditional protective infrastructure this concept addresses spatial planning, crisis management and recovery structures. It implies a shared responsibility between stakeholders from the public, private and civic sector. However, little is known about the populations living in flood prone areas, and if it is just or efficient to ask their cooperation. This paper explores the social characteristics of the exposed population, through a GIS-analysis of the spatial distribution of the different social vulnerability indicators. Two sets of social data are used: statistical sectors for the whole of Flanders and building blocks for the Denderleeuw, Ninove and Geraardsbergen municipalities, which are particularly prone to floods. While a disproportionate exposure of non-Belgians to floods is observed in the non-urban areas of the three municipalities, statistical tests indicate this difference is non-significant. Nevertheless, from the perspective of distributive justice, these inequalities indicate the need for area-specific approaches based on the social characteristics of the population to ensure the efficiency and social justice in FRM. In terms of procedural justice, the social vulnerability indicators entail an underrepresentation in the public participation regarding flood risk policies. These findings advocate the involvement of the citizens at the local scale to define the most appropriate measures in FRM. Acknowledgments Access to the social data aggregated per building block was procured by the Data & Analysis Support Centre of the Province of East-Flanders (Flanders).

    Welkom in Moerbeke-Waas Dorpvaart 60 9180 Moerbeke-Waas https://kljmoerbeke.be [email protected] Inleiding Beste huurders, Wij heten jullie welkom in ons lokaal ’t Venneken. In deze bundel vindt u meer informatie omtrent de accommodatie van ’t Venneken en de nabije omgeving. Oorspronkelijk is onze vereniging ontstaan in 1929 onder de naam BJB en werd later omgedoopt tot KLJ Moerbeke-Waas. Door een mooie toename in ledenaantal de laatste jaren en onze verouderde infrastructuur, was het noodzakelijk een nieuw jeugdlokaal te bouwen. Met de hulp van de daarvoor opgerichte VZW, de eigen KLJ-leden, ouders en sympathisanten zijn we erin geslaagd dit nieuw lokaal te realiseren. ’t Venneken is niet zomaar een lokaal, het is een plaats waar talloze vriendschappen worden gesloten en gekoesterd, waar ontelbare herinneringen worden gemaakt, waar we allemaal jong, maar toch een beetje volwassen kunnen zijn en waar eenieder van ons schrijft aan ons gezamenlijk verhaal! We hopen dat jullie dit ook zo mogen beleven gedurende jullie verblijf in Moerbeke-Waas en stellen ons lokaal ook voor u beschikbaar; zowel voor weekends, vergaderingen als kampen. KLJ-Moerbeke-Waas wenst jullie een fijne tijd in ’t Venneken en omstreken! Veel plezier en hopelijk tot nog eens! Groeten, KLJ Moerbeke-Waas VZW ’t Venneken ! Noodgevallen !

  • The Presumed Upper Ordovician Green Rocks at Rebecq Re
    GEOLOGICA BELGICA (2011) 14/3-4: 249-264 THE PRESUMED UPPER ORDOVICIAN GREEN ROCKS AT REBECQ RE- INTERPRETED AS A RESURFACING OF THE CAMBRIAN OISQUERCQ FORMATION (SENNE VALLEY, ANGLO-BRABANT DEFORMATION BELT, BELGIUM) Timothy DEBACKER1, Alain HERBOSCH2 & Jacques VERNIERS1 (8 figures, 1 table, 1 plate) 1Department of Geology and Soil Science, Ghent University, Belgium.

Lithological, magnetic and geochemical data do not allow distinguishing the homogenous, green cleaved mudstone at Rebecq (Senne Valley), defined as the Upper Ordovician Hospice de Rebecq Formation by Herbosch (2005), from those of the Asquempont Member of the Lower to lower Middle Cambrian Oisquercq Formation. Moreover, structural geological considerations and new mapping show that the geology of the Rebecq area is better explained by re-considering the homogenous, green cleaved mudstone at Rebecq as a local resurfacing of the Asquempont Member of the Oisquercq Formation in the footwall of the Asquempont Detachment System. Using this idea, a new geological map is presented of the Rebecq area. As the rocks at Rebecq, in the type locality of the Hospice de Rebecq Formation, are better re-considered as belonging to the Asquempont Member of the Oisquercq Formation, the name Hospice de Rebecq Formation should be abandoned. This, in turn, implies that also the green rocks of the Grand-Manil area (Orneau Valley), previously considered as belonging to the Hospice de Rebecq Formation, should be renamed. For the latter, we propose the name Cimetière de Grand-Manil Formation.
