The Story of Fons Deroeck and Josephine Debot 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.

As many of them built their houses in the same part of Norway it resulted in a Belgian quarter and even a street was called Belgium Town Road. The majority of them had a Flemish name and many had their origin in the Belgian province of East-Flanders. Nearly all of their descendants left Norway and settled all over America. Today Norway has a population of about 3000 and around 160 of them are of Belgian ancestry.

  • Linkeroever Van Zwijndrecht–Burcht Tot De Nederlandse Grens Zwijndrecht/Burcht 1
    Linkeroever van Zwijndrecht–Burcht tot de Nederlandse grens Zwijndrecht/Burcht 1. Geschiedenis Burcht en Zwijndrecht liggen op zandruggen aan de rand van een krekengebied. De naamgeving verwijst hiernaar. Zowel Zwijndrecht als Burcht zijn beide afgeleid van Germaanse woorden: swina drifti en burgipja. Burgipja betekent eenvoudigweg berk. Dat verwijst vermoedelijk naar de vegetatie die op de droge zandgrond groeide. Swini en drifti zijn synoniemen en betekenen beide kreek. In 1281 werden beide dorpen in één heerlijkheid ondergebracht. Dit bleef zo tot 1667, toen verdeelde Jacoma Antonio Carenna de heerlijkheid onder zijn twee zonen. In 1977 bracht de fusie beide gemeenschappen na 300 jaar terug bij elkaar. Zwijndrecht en Burcht werden door hun strategische ligging ten opzichte van Antwerpen meer dan eens het slachtoffer van talrijke oorlogen in onze gewesten. Vooral tijdens het beleg van Antwerpen (1583-1585) werden beide dorpen zwaar geteisterd. Tijdens de Brabantse Omwenteling (1789-1790) en de Franse Revolutie (1794) laaiden de gemoederen fel op. Zowel bij het begin als op het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog vielen er vele burgerslachtoffers. Geografisch en historisch gezien maken Zwijndrecht en Burcht deel uit van het Waasland, van de provincie Oost-Vlaanderen en het graafschap Vlaanderen. In 1923 werden zij overgedragen aan de provincie Antwerpen. Het Vlaams Hoofd werd op hetzelfde moment ingelijfd bij de stad Antwerpen en kreeg een voorname woonfunctie (Sint-Anneke of Antwerpen-Linkeroever). Burcht en Zwijndrecht waren landelijke gemeenten, maar in het midden van de 19de eeuw werd Burcht op vrij korte tijd een gemeenschap met zware industrie. Vanaf het begin van vorige eeuw werd de vruchtbare Borgerweert opgespoten met baggerspecie.

Men noemde hem de apostel van Rome. Hij is de stichter van de orde der oratorianen. Neri werd opgeleid door de dominicanen van het Florentijnse San Marcoklooster. Hij zou in de zaak van zijn oom Romolo in San Germano komen als koopman, maar verliet deze plaats om naar Rome te gaan. In Rome meldde hij zich na een tijd als kluizenaar geleefd te hebben bij de Augustijnen. Hij hield zich vooral op bij de armen en zieken, en bezocht regelmatig de catacomben. In 1551 werd hij tot priester gewijd en sloot zich aan bij de broederschap San Girolamo della Carità. Neri nam veel mensen de biecht af. Hij organiseerde 's avonds met deze broederschap bijeenkomsten van gebed, zang en gesprekken; qua vorm waren het vespers met aansluitende ontmoeting. Al in 1567 sloot de latere kardinaal Caesar Baronius zich bij hem aan.

We spreken af om 11 uur, de werkdag begint om 8 uur en eindigt om 17 uur. Een afspraak om der- tien minuten na elf klinkt belachelijk. Sommige mensen komen steeds te laat op de afspraak om aan te tonen hoe druk ze het hebben. Het is een van de ergernis- sen. Iemand sprak: Ik ben altijd en overal op tijd, ik verlies dus tijd door te wach- ten op degenen die dat niet zijn.

  • 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).

  • Province of East Flanders Reflection Report
    1. Introduction The Provincial Authorities have a ground-tied responsibility and within this the different departments have their responsibility in the spatial planning process. The rural and peri-urban area is covered by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development which is actively involved in the Provincial Spatial Plan, landscape planning and integration, advice, co-operation and financing projects. From this responsibility the project aim is to look at integrated environmental building quality of the public space. One part is the involvement in the Leie – Schelde project area in the south-west fringe of Gent. And the second part is to stimulate the use of Provincial Quality Chamber for the other peri-urban areas. The goal of the Leie-Schelde project was the development of an integrated policy view carried out by the project manager (Flemish Land Agency), the steering committee (8 Local Communities, Province of East Flanders, Flemish Land Agency) and the 4 theme groups (communication, slow roads, tourism and recreation, cultural heritage). Proposed instruments were testing and implementing the transnational approaches on planning and public policy making. Also making use of: stakeholders workshops, theme group sessions, info point and the implementation of the Provincial Quality Chamber (meetings of experts involved in spatial planning, architecture and landscape integration to advise on building and landscape integration projects). The SURF project enabled transnational learning in the use of instruments from the spatial planning and stakeholder engagement theme group. Partner methodology for 3D visualisation (Aberdeen, Norfolk) for stakeholder participation and communication was tested in the spatial structure planning process in the Beveren greenhouse area (peri-urban area of Antwerp).

Two map series were produced: (1) pre-medieval palaeogeographical reconstructions (11000 BP – 1000 AD) based on geotechnical, geological and archaeological data, and (2) post-medieval landscape reconstructions (sixteenth to nineteenth century) based on historical maps, land registers and soil data. The basis for the Holocene reconstructions was provided by the top Pleistocene relief map, which was used to determine the maximum extent of the successive marine, peat and estuarine deposits. A solid timeframe was provided by relative sea-level curves and a dated peat growth evolution model (Holocene landscapes) or old historical maps (post- medieval landscapes). Palaeoenvironmental information from fossil pollen and plant remains provided information on the vegetation changes, particularly for the middle to late Holocene.

Typical and traditional productions: Rural effect and agro-industrial problems 11 52 d EAAE Seminar - Parma, June 19-21 1997 NICOLE TARAGOLA* Belgian endive: from tradition to innovation ABSTRACT Belgian endive ('witloof, chicory) always played an important part in the production of vegetables in Belgium. This paper shows the historical, structural and geographical aspects of this sector. It also considers the microeconomic aspects including the profitability for this cultivation and gives an outlook of the present national and international market in terms of production and innovations. 1. INTRODUCTION Belgian endive ('witloof', chicory) always had a leading position in the production of vegetables in Belgium. The cultivation of this vegetable found its origin in Belgium around 1850, and expanded from here to France and later to the Netherlands. Belgian endive was traditionally produced in the triangle Louvain-Brussels-Mechlin. The traditional production process of 'witloof' was characterized by a high labour intensiveness, allowing the small farms to obtain a reasonable income with limited capital investments. In almost one and a half century a long way has been gone, but the most radical evolution was taking place quite recently.

The OECD is also at the forefront of efforts to understand and to help governments respond to new developments and concerns, such as corporate governance, the information economy and the challenges of an ageing population. The Organisation provides a setting where governments can compare policy experience, seek answers to common problems, identify good practice and work to co-ordinate domestic and international policies. The OECD member countries are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. The European Union takes part in the work of the OECD. www.oecd.org OECD EURASIA COMPETITIVENESS PROGRAMME The OECD Eurasia Competitiveness Programme, launched in 2008, helps accelerate economic reforms and improve the business climate to achieve sustainable economic growth and employment in two regions: Central Asia (Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan), and Eastern Europe and South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine). The Programme contributes to the OECD outreach strategy implemented by the Global Relations Secretariat, and works in close collaboration with specialised expert divisions across the OECD.
