EDITORS REPORT
The last six weeks have not been easy for your editor! I
don’t like to complain but: Boy, oh, boy, it has been hectic!
But I must confess that Martin and I still found time to
disappear for a few days down south to celebrate a very
important birthday. And now we are back on deck and at
your service!
Here is hoping you will attend the events, organised by the
committee; drama group and choir for instance and all
the other events, which are coming up during the last few
months of the year 2014!
The Committee is anticipating receiving many baby quiz
entrees.
I also like to share with you the following letter, which is
addressed to you all:

PRESIDENT’S REPORT
The long awaited ‘Ex Committee Thanks Giving Luncheon’ took place on Sunday, 14 September.
According to many people who attended it was a great success. The catering provided by Le Traiteur
Of Merivale was excellent! It was fun to see past and present members of the NSC committee
together and chatting about the good and sometimes not so good times of being part of a committee.
But overall the ex-members told of memories of a time they looked after the interests of the
Netherlands Society Christchurch with lots of humour going by the loud laughter that emerged from
several tables at regular intervals. (Photographs of the event on pages 14 and 15)
After careful deliberating the Committee has decided that due to unforeseen circumstances the yearly
‘Veterans Day’ will have to be cancelled this year. But a smilar event together with the Veterans will
take place in May 2015 to commemorate the heroic services of the Veterans in name of their country
and also the celebration of the fact that World War II ended 70 years ago. (More information closer to
the due date.)
For those who are interested: The yearly ‘Lincoln Multicultural Festival’ will be held on 18 October.
This festival, which started in 2004 is well worth a visit with its arts-crafts-music-dance and food from
many different cultural groups, who have now settled in New Zealand. I have attended many times
over the years and I can really recommend this event. (No entry charge!)
Regards,
Olga

Het was de rage van deze zomer in Nederland:
Loombands maken. Maar nu de kinderen weer
naar school zijn liggen de felgekleurde
rubberen bandjes her en der door het huis te
verpieteren. “Niet erg” aldus Mr Loom (Cheong
Choong Ng) die voor een flitsbezoek in
Nederland was, “Als het straks herfstvakantie is
loomt iedereen weer vlot door.”
Ineens was het daar deze zomer, de rubberen
loombandjes. Elke zichzelf respecterende
celebrity droeg zo’n zelfgewoven armbandje.
Van David Beckham tot Louis van Gaal, van
kroonprinses Amalia tot Kate, de hertogin van
Kent. Je had gee kind aan ze, achter in de auto
op weg naar de vakantie bestemming. En al die
regenachtige dagen in augustus kwamen ze
met verse zakjes rubberen bandjes en een
internetverbinding ook wel door!
Ja natuurlijk, hier in NZ ook. Heeft u er al een?
Ik wel dankzij mijn 9-jarige kleindochter: Mooi
roze met wit! Dank je wel, Rosie!!!
BURGEMEESTER OP DE VINGERS GETIKT.
De tegenstanders van Zwarte Piet hebben van de rechter gelijk gekregen. Burgemeester Eberhard
van der Laan van Amsterdam moet bij de vergunning van de intocht van Sinterklaas nadrukkelijk
rekening houden met de belangen van de zwarte gemeenschap.
Volgens de rechtbank heeft Van der Laan onvoldoende rekening gehouden met de gevolgen van
een negatieve stereo-typering van de zwarte mens, veroorzaakt door de figuur van Zwarte Piet;
dikke lippen; dom en knecht.
De rechtbank baseert zich op een recente uitspraak van het College van Rechten voor de Mens
en op onderzoek van de gemeente zelf. Uit dat onderzoek bleek dat veel zwarte Amsterdammers
zich gediscrimineerd voelen door Zwarte Piet.
Daarmee maakt de intocht volgens de rechtbank inbreuk op het prive-leven van de zwarte mensen.
De bescherming van het prive-leven is een belang dat de burgemeester had moeten meewegen
toen hij vorig jaar de vergunning verleende.
De uitspraak is gedaan in een bodemprocedure die tegen de afgifte van de vergunning was
aangespannen door enkele tegenstanders van het fenomeen Zwarte Piet. Een van hen, Barryl
Biekman, van het Platform Landelijk Slavernijverleden, is dolblij met de uitspraak. “Ik heb 18 jaar
tegen de figuur van Zwarte Piet gestreden en nu zegt de rechtbank dat ik het gelijk aan mijn zijde
heb. Het is een feestdag!”
De woordvoerder van de burgemeester laat weten dat de gemeente de uitspraak uitvoerig zal
bestuderen en aan de hand daarvan zal bekijken hoe de vergunning in de toekomst moet worden
verleend. Ook hoger beroep wordt niet uitgesloten.

NEERLANDIA CHOIR CHRISTCHURCH PERFORMS ITS
32nd ANNUAL CONCERT
On Sunday, 23 September, Neerlandia Choir Christchurch performed for an appreciative
audience of 120 people in the Hohepa Music Auditorium on Barrington. This venue is well
known for being one of the best in Christchurch qua ambience and acoustics.
The Choir under the inspirational choral direction of Mr Bruce Blanchard performed songs in
six different languages. Amongst many others one could enjoy the music of Johann
Sebastian Bach; George Frideric Handel; Johann Strauss; Ludwig van Beethoven and
Edvard Grieg.
The Choir was accompagnied on piano by Michael Zon.
The guest artists were six musicians of the Koyu kai Group, local musicians, who performed
traditional Japanese music on a variety of instruments such as the koto (13 and 17 stringed
zithers); 3-stringed lutes and a flute. The musicians were all dressed in authentic kimono,
which added to the magical atmosphere of the performance.
After the audience was held spellbound during the, at least 90 minute lasting, varied
musical programme it was time for afternoon tea where besides the obvious coffee, tea and
juice the delicious traditonal ‘krentenbrood’ was served and where everyone could spent
time to discuss a most entertaining afternoon.

DE NEDERLANDSE TAAL

PAULIEN CORNELISSEN
ZITTEN
Ik sprak iemand van wie de vriend Braziliaan was. Hij leerde Nederlands en verbaasde zich het allermeest over dit: hoe vaak Nederlanders het over ‘zitten’ hebben. En dat is inderdaad vaak, als je er
even over nadenkt. “Ik zit hier al een uur te wachten”, kun je zeggen, ook als je niet aan het
zitten bent. “Ik zit hier thuis”, idem dito. Je kunt namelijk best thuis zitten als je in werkelijkheid aan
het rondlopen bent.
De oorspronkelijk betekenis van zitten heeft iets te maken met het plaatsen van het achterste op
een horizontaal vlak. Maar er zijn heel veel gebruiken die daar in de verste verte niets mee te maken
hebben. Wat te denken van deze: “He, he, jongedame niet aan de knopjes van het fornuis zitten!”
‘Aanzitten’ wordt bijna altijd gebruikt in de kinderlijke sfeer. (Het was een heel leuk museum want we
mochten overal aanzitten.) Stel dat je als Braziliaan deze kinderlijke betekenis van ‘aanzitten’ hebt
geleerd, dan moet het heel verwarrend zijn dat er soms bij een diner ook aangezeten wordt - maar
dan is het juist weer iets sjieks waar geen kinderen aan te pas komen. Om nog maar te zwijgen over
deze zin: “Er zit kauwgum aan mijn broek.” Zeer vreemd!
Maar dat is nog niet alles, want we gebruiken ‘zitten’ ook voor kleding. “Deze trui zit het lekkerst.”
Dat geen Nederlander hierbij denkt aan een trui die op een stoeltje zit, lijkt me voor een buitenlander
moeilijk te begrijpen.
En omdat ‘zitten’ hiermee blijkbaar nog niet genoeg gebruikt wordt, zeggen we ook nog ‘die zit’ als
iemand een rake opmerking heeft geplaatst of anderzins gescoord heeft.
De vraag is natuurlijk: Waarom gebruiken we ‘zitten’ zo vaak? Of anders gezegd: Wat zien wij
zitten in zitten? Zegt het misschien iets in ons zittend bestaan? Zitten wij vast aan onze bankstellen
of bureau stoelen? En heeft het woord ‘zitten’ van hieruit onze taal veroverd? Zouden Brazilianen het
leven meer dansend bekijken? Het klinkt als een cliche, maar het lijkt me aan de andere kant ook
weer geen toeval dat juist een Braziliaan struikelt over dat zitten. Of probeer ik het allemaal weer te
cultureel te duiden en berust het allemaal maar op toeval?
Dat loop ik me nu al dagen af te vragen!
THE DOETIE KEYZER SHOW
On Sunday, 27 September, the NSC organised a show with South Island woman Doetie Keyzer.
Four years ago Doetie visited the Christchurch Society with her ‘One Woman Show’ so the committee
thought it might be pleasant for the members to attend a repeat performance. No entree fee would
be charged to make it even more attractive (afternoon tea provided). What a disappointment to have
eighteen people attending in total of which there were six committee members! Do the membership
ever think what it is like to organise an event with such a poor result? Don’t blame your committee for
not trying! Because we do! If you have better ideas why not write a letter to the Editor with your wishes for entertainment events (if you have trouble facing us in person)! By the way those who were
there did enjoy themselves!!!!

MAN FACES JAIL IF HE WRITES MORE THAN TWO COUNCIL COMPLAINTS A MONTH
A man from Dordrecht has been told he will be jailed if he writes more than two letters of complaint to
the city council a month.
The council has gone to court urging action against the man, who sends officials dozens of complaint
letters and freedom information requests per month.
The man is angry that the council has put a ‘sequestration’ (seizure of property) order on some of his
properties because he is refraining to meet tougher new rules on rental properties.
The magistrate had earlier banned the man from sending more than 10 letters a month to the council
but he has refused to comply. So far this year he has sent the officials 440 letters, all of which have to
be dealt with.
Dordrecht’s city council says answering the mail is costing 500.000 euros a year and involves 2.5
fulltime officers to deal with the correspondence.

VINCENT VAN GOGH - THE MUSICAL
Vincent van Gogh, one of the world’s most renowned artists, will be celebrated on stage in a musical
next year. Vincent will open in autumn 2015 in Amsterdam, headlining the 125 Years of Inspiration
Event.
Casting for the role of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) is ongoing and Dutch producer Albert Verlinde
will oversee proceedings.
Martine Willekens spokeswoman for the Vincent van Gogh Foundation, said the aim of the musical is
to “bring Vincent van Gogh’s works to life in a non-traditional way”.
The musical will portray the painter’s struggle with mental illness, including the notorious episode
which cultimated in him slicing off part of his ear.
Though Vincent van Gogh’s influence remains far-reaching he sold only one painting before his death
at the age of 37. The cause of death was a fatal gunshot wound but there is no conclusive proof that
he meant to take his own life.
“It is perhaps a little odd to celebrate his death,” said Amsterdam’s Vincent van Gogh Museum
director, Axel Ruegen, “but over the years the artist has become a global celebrity, a kind of rock
star.”
An exhibition of his paintings in Amsterdam will accompany the play.

KLAVERJAS CLUB ‘ONS GENOEGEN’
De lente is in volle glorie gearriveerd: De kerseboom staat in bloei, zo ook de narcissen en er staat
zelfs een tulp ontzettend mooi te zijn in een vergeten hoek van de tuin! Wat is de natuur toch mooi!
De uitslagen voor de prijs kaart dagen waren als volgt:
Dinsdag, 26 augustus:
1) Emmy Nederpelt; 5749 punten; 2) Leni Nelis, 5188 punten; 3) Bep Bohm, 5080 punten.
Dinsdag, 9 september:
1) Bill Nunink, 5602 punten; 2) Anna Fekkes, 5541 punten; 3) Arie Middelkoop, 5204 punten.
De Spring Card Drive was zoals altijd weer een succes, 33 spelers, allemaal kampioenen,
probeerden een prijsje binnen te halen.
Het bestuur had deze dag zo ingedeeld dat er vier spelen inplaats van zes plaats zouden vinden. Er
was uitgerekend dat er niet later dan 4.00 uur gekaart zou worden. Maar dat kwam niet uit want om
3.00 uur was het gedaan en toen is er besloten om er nog maar een vijfde spel aan toe te voegen.
De winnaars van deze Card Drive waren:
1) Truus Nijssen, 8348 punten; 2) Thea Beulink en Greet Akkerman, 8218 punten; 3) Richard van
Lindt, 8078 punten.
De loterij werd gewonnen door:
1) Koos van Nieuwkerk; 2) Arda Hogendoorn; 3) Lenie Nelis.
Daarna nog een ‘glaasje’ en toen ging iedereen voldaan naar huis!
De volgende en laatste wedstrijd voor het jaar 2014 vindt plaats op zaterdag, 25 october (Labour
Weekend).
Dit was dan weer het klaverjas verslag voor deze maand. We hopen dat iedereen van een goede
gezondheid blijft genieten en verder veel plezier met het spel van het leven!

YOUTH OF YESTERDAY
On BVN TV we watched a program about the Royal House of Orange and the recent celebration of
its reign of 200 years. This gave us an idea to celebrate this in a small way during the following Youth
of Yesterday gathering. Everyone present received an orange and a Dutch flag and a special delicacy
with the coffee. So you see, we use any excuse to have a celebration! It gives us a warm feeling to
see everyone appreciating this.
The weather is improving, surely this must be an incentive to join us on Friday mornings at the
Everglades! We can assure you that you won’t be sorry!

An American view on Friesians:
“A ‘Fries’ is a sort of spare-Dutch person, who lives in the north of the country in a province all
to themselves. They love frozen water, called Beerenburger - a form of euthanasia with alcohol.
A Fries likes to endlessly pointing out that other ‘Hollanders’ are NOT Fries!
The rest of the people in the Netherlands looks at this behaviour the same way one looks at an
obstinate child: Lovingly but hoping like hell that one day they will grow out of this!”

Ra, ra, wie ben ik?????
During our last committee meeting we discussed the pictures we published in
the September Echo of the NSC Committee members.
Some one, who we shall not mention here, came up with the bright idea to
have a quiz in the October issue of the Echo. The idea is the NSC members
will have to guess which baby/todler photo portrays which
committee member.
The first three winning entrees will receive a voucher for a luncheon at the
Garden Hotel & Restaurant for two.
As you can imagine finding photo’s of ourselves, especially the older ones
amongst us, was not so easy but we have come up with a lovely collection.
The names of the committee members are in alphabetic order below.
The photographs on page 13 are numbered from 1 to 14.
