De Kraamhulp
Door Esther Verhoef
Als Didi na een zware bevalling van haar eerste
kindje aan bed is gekluisterd, is ze dolgelukkig met
de hulp van de kraamverzorgster. De baby is lief en
gezond, maar Didi's herstel gaat langzaam.
Miriam, werkzaam bij de politie Rotterdam, kan de
plotselinge dood van haar broer niet verwerken. Ze
vermoedt kwade opzet van zijn mooie weduwe
Hennequin. Tijdens haar zoektocht naar Hennequins
verleden groeit bij Miriam de overtuiging dat ze te
maken heeft met een levensgevaarlijke psychopate.
En juist deze vrouw heeft zich onmisbaar gemaakt in
het jonge, kwetsbare gezin...
De kraamhulp beschrijft tien beslissende dagen uit
het leven van drie jonge vrouwen. Kwetsbaarheid,
wilskracht en moordlust vinden elkaar in een
beklemmende, ontroerende pageturner: Esther

COMMITTEE
After many years of active work for the club, Louis
Marcus has decided to retire from the Neerlandia
Committee. On behalf of the Committee and
Membership, we would like to thank Lou for the
time he gave to the club. We would also like to wish
him a happy and healthy retirement. Thank you Lou!
Lou’s departure means that the Neerlandia
Committee now has two vacancies.
Shop report - A cheesy story
Recently we noticed that some pieces of cheese
showed mold. This is caused by opening the fridge
door too frequently and/or opening the door for too
long. It would greatly help if you made your choice
of fridge products quickly; it saves energy and it is
better for the quality of the products.
Meanwhile, the mold has been removed from the
affected cheese and the pieces are now selling for $2
less than the original price.
And, on the subject of cheese: we buy our Gouda
and Leydse kaas from the European Food store. This
shop imports all sorts of European food products
from the countries of origin. We are therefore totally
relying on shipments and customs. Most of the time
there are no problems or delays, occasionally we
may experience a bit of a hiccup. Recently the
Gouda cheese has been unavailable but as soon as
the cheese is back on the shelves in the European
Food store, it will be available again in the
Neerlandia Shop.
26 April 2-5pm we will celebrate Koningsdag in
the clubhouse. Details are elsewhere in this
magazine. (see page 16)

Report on a recently held function & EoMD
Kroegenavond 15 March
After the success of the initial kroegenavond,
we decided to repeat the event in March.
Unfortunately the majority of the people who
attended the first night were not able to come
due to other commitments, holidays and
celebration of the Irish Saint Patrick's day.
However, new people came along and again
we had a great night. There was not as much
singing as the February celebrations, but I am
convinced everyone still had a great time. It
was wonderful to meet some new people, and
great to see everyone mingle straight away
and making new friends.
The next Kroegenavond will be a King's
Day celebration on Saturday 26 April. Put it
in your agendas, find your orange gear and
get ready for a good Dutch party - it
promises to be a big weekend.

It is the evening before "Konings Dag", so please come dressed in Orange!

Only with your continued support as volunteer will the EoM Drinks
survive.
The Bar will be open from 5.30 pm - 9.00 pm. And you are all welcome to
come for some relaxation, meet up with old friends
or make new ones and enjoy a Dutch beer
or a Dutch snack or just a cup of coffee!
Available from the Kitchen there will be:
Fresh Coffee & Dutch Appeltaart!
A variety of traditional Dutch snacks.
The Neerlandia Shop will be open for your convenience!

THE VICARS FALSE TEETH
A Pastor goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth.
The first Sunday after he gets his new teeth, he talks for
only eight minutes.
The second Sunday, he talks only for ten minutes.
The following Sunday he talks for 2 hours and 48
minutes.
Half the congregation was sound asleep by then when
someone had the nerve to interrupt the pastor and got
him down from the pulpit, the congregation asked him
what was going on.
The Pastor explains about his new teeth and that on the
first Sunday his gums hurt so bad he couldn't talk for
more than 8 minutes. The second Sunday his gums still
hurt and he could only talk for 10 minutes.
But this morning he put his wife's false teeth in by
mistake and he just couldn't stop talking.
(Sorry Girls, but this is a true story.)
Unknown Airline - Brilliant desk staff.
An award should go to an Airlines desk attendant
in Sydney some months ago for being smart and funny
while making her point, when she was confronted by a
passenger who probably deserved to fly as cargo.
A crowded flight was cancelled after a 767 was
withdrawn from service. A single attendant was rebooking a long line of inconvenienced travellers.
Suddenly an angry passenger pushed his way to the
desk. He slapped his ticket down on the counter and
said: "I HAVE to be on this flight and it HAS to be
FIRST CLASS".
The attendant replied: "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be happy to try
to help you, but I've got to help these people first and
I'm sure we'll be able to work something out."
The passenger was unimpressed. He asked loudly,
so that the passengers behind him could hear:
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?"
Without hesitating, the attendant smiled and grabbed
her public address microphone and said: "May I have
your attention, please, may I have your attention,
please," her voice being heard clearly throughout
the terminal.
"We have a passenger here at Desk 14 WHO DOES
NOT KNOW WHO HE IS. If anyone can help him find
his identity, please come to Desk 14."
With the folks behind him in line laughing hysterically,
the man glared at the desk attendant, gritted his teeth
and uttered a very rude personal expressive.
Without flinching, she smiled and said: "I'm sorry, sir,
but you'll have to get in line for that too."
(For all Who Work With Rude Customers, isn't it
a shame no one can actually do this without risking
his or her job!)

No Driver's Licence?
I was sitting on my lawn sunning and reading when I
was startled by a fairly late model car crashing through
my hedge and coming to rest on my lawn. I helped the
elderly driver out and sat him on a lawn chair.
"My goodness", I exclaimed: "you are quite old to be
driving!"
"Yes", he replied: "I am old enough that I don't need a
license anymore.
The last time I went to my doctor he examined me and
asked if I had a driving licence. I told him yes and
handed it to him. He took scissors out of a drawer, cut
the licence into pieces and threw them in the
wastebasket."
"You won't be needing this anymore", he said.
"So I thanked him most sincerely and left."
HOSPITAL BILL
A man suffered a serious heart attack while
shopping in a store. The store clerk called 911 when
they saw him collapse to the floor. The paramedics
rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had
emergency open heart bypass surgery. He awakened
from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns
at the Catholic Hospital.
A nun was seated next to his bed holding a
clipboard loaded with several forms, and a pen.
She asked him how he was going to pay for his
treatment. "Do you have health insurance?" she
asked.
He replied in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."
The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?"
He replied, "No money in the bank." Do you have a
relative who could help you with the payments?"
asked the irritated nun. He said: "I only have a
spinster sister, and she is a nun." The nun became
agitated and announced loudly: "Nuns are not
spinsters! Nuns are married to God."
The patient replied: "Perfect. Send the bill to my
brother-in-law."
It could happen
I went to the cemetery yesterday to lay some flowers on
my wife's grave. As I was standing there I noticed 4
grave diggers walking about with a coffin,
An hour later and they're still walking about with it.

The girlfriend of his dreams.
Paddy thought his new girlfriend might be THE one,
the woman of his dreams, the love of his life...
He began staying over at her place at weekends, which
he thought was really nice, as he'd never had that kind
of experience with any girl before.
Then one Friday evening, she came to the door dressed
as a nurse. 'Mmm...,' he thought: 'how nice'
The weekend after she greeted him in a French maid's
outfit.
'Oh-ho,' he thought: 'this is interesting.'
But, when the next weekend she answered the door in a
policewoman's uniform, he finally decided she had to
go.
He realised that if she couldn't hold down a regular job,
she was not the one for him.

The town of Hengelo
Hengelo, in the province of Overijssel
Flag & Coat of Arms
Hengelo is a town with a population of over 80,000. It's history goes as
far back as 10,000 years, when people already lived on the same site.
In the middle ages Hengelo consisted of only a handful of farms and by
1802 this had grown to about 200 farms and houses.
The village, although not large, was a self-supporting community.
The population only showed substantial growth during the last 125
years.
The people of Hengelo, besides farmers, were mainly employed by the
textile, the metal and later on the chemical industries with all their
associated activities.
Hengelo in Overijssel must not be confused with a small village called Hengelo in province of Gelderland.
Hengelo, Overijssel was never granted city rights as it was only a small village that only expanded in the 19th
century after the industrial revolution. In the late19th century it developed very rapidly especially after the
construction of railway lines through the town and Hengelo became an important railway junction.
Hengelo also was the home town of Hengelo Bier, a local brewery.
Tourism
One of the most prominent buildings is the Lambertusbasiliek, a Roman basilica built
in 1890 devoted to Saint Lambert.
There is also an old water Mill in Oele called De
Oldemeule, which dates back to 1690.
During the Second World War the mill was still
in use to process grain, but after the war the mill
went into decline. Now the mill is owned by the
municipality of Hengelo, which renovated the
mill in 1979 and it is now open to the public on
Sundays during the summer months.
In the last couple of years new millers have been
trained to operate the mill.
Watermill De Oldemeule dates In the past there was also an oil mill, but this was
back to 1690
demolished in 1900.

History: Hengelo in the 16th en 17th century
In he 16th century Hengelo was small village and this did not change in the next century. When the Spanjards
conquered the area in the late 16th century, arson and robbery by the Spanish army was the order of the day.
In 1595, not less than 43 houses were burnt to the ground, this was about 1/3rd of the whole town.
Meanwhile the farmers were concentrating on growing flax, the stems of the flax were spun into yarn and the yarn
woven into textiles. It was in the wintertime that the women spun the yarn and the men did the weaving in special
rooms of their farms. The woven products were often bleached alongside the waterways.
Hengelo in the 18th century
During the 18th century the farmers were producing more cloth then they needed and that was sold to travelling
merchants. Then the merchant managed to get the farmers to work together in small workshops and this was the start
of Hengelo's Textile industrie.
The industrial revolution
In 1830 Willem de Clerq, director of the "Nederlandse Handel Maatschappij," was asked by the Dutch King Willem I
to investigate the setting up of a proper textile industrie in Overijssel. He investigated the issue and decided on
Hengelo due to the veaving skills already there and the low cost of wages that were paid.
Modern textile factories were then built
with steam driven machinery. Not long
after that, Hengelo became an important
railway junction, with connections to
the west, south and norh and also east
into Germany.
Soon other light and heavy industry
followed and by 1900 the town had
grown to 10,000 inhabitants.

The Salt Towers
Salt deposits were found way below the surface near Hengelo. The Koninklijke
Nederlandse Zoutindustrie (Royal Dutch Salt Industry) extracted it between 1918
and 1963 and sold it under the name Jozo. They built wooden drilling derricks to
cover the actual drill holes. To win the salt, water was first pumped into the ground.
The salt dissolved in the water and was then pumped up again.
In the factory, which you see in the background in the picture, the water was

This is one of the few original towers left, most have been replaced by small
wooden barns. This one has been renovated and can be found in the southern part of Hengelo at the Boortorenweg.
Hengelo during the second world war.
Before the second world war the centrum of Hengelo was just like many other villages
with houses, shops and farmlike buildings along narrow, winding streets.
However, from that scene there is nothing left. Towards the end of the war Hengelo
was a main target for bombardments by the allies, due its important railway junctions
and it's heavy industries.
The heaviest bombardments on the town took place om 6 & 7 October 1944 when the
town centre was flattened and caused the death of 112 people. On the 3rd of April 1944
the town was liberatedby the allied armies.

Tuindorp 't Lansink. In 1911 the first stone was laid for a interesting housing project called Tuindorp 't Lansink.The
idea for this housing complex came from Coen Stork and was based on a garden suburb where the workers, office
staff and even directors would feel at home.

The Casbah. This housing project was started in 1970 by architect Piet Blom. It was based on the concept that public
space was on the ground floor level, with the residents living above.
Modern shopping facilities
The modern town-centre offers a variety of shops. National retail chains together with many typical original quality
shops guarantee pleasant shopping in all branches. Especially in the field of fashion the town has a sound reputation
to maintain. Highly recommended is the open air market on Wednesdays and Saturdays on the main square in the
town-centre, which is considered one of the best in the Netherlands.

Sunday Drive
0n the 2nd of March the usual Sunday drive was held.
We had exactly 25 players, which meant 6 playing tables
and two people, who played 2 games each.
Several regulars could not make it on the day and Gerry
Creemers, the usual organiser, was recuperating from a
small operation, which meant that Piet Leeflang was
asked to take charge, which for an old pro like him was
no problem at all.
We welcomed back Riet Heyman after the recent loss of
her husband Henk while Gerard Kluck and Corie van Os
participated for the very first time.
The first players arrived shortly after 10 am in order to
catch up with friends or just have a chat over a cup of
coffee.
Meanwhile Thea de Koning, ably assisted by Freda
Hovingh, were busy in the kitchen to ensure everyone
was served with coffee and to prepare the lunches. This
as usual was very much appreciated by all.
At 11.00 sharp the competition started and after 3 hours
of fierce competition, the scorecards were checked and
the winners were announced.
The runaway winner won by 536 points and the 2nd
placed player was 210 points ahead of the 3rd

socks next month .

of April and the one after that on Sunday the 4h of May
All the prizes were gift vouchers to be spent in our shop
and Freda Hovingh, who was serving in the shop, made

Differences between The Netherlands & Australia
A 20-something year old migrants view on settling and building up a new life in Perth,
Australia
Ok, so I’ve been in Australia for almost 2 years now and I do feel like I’m settled in and
Perth has become my new home-town. However probably once a month you meet people
that don’t really understand that you’ve been here for a while and you don’t consider
yourself to be a tourist anymore. You get questions fired at you: ‘How do you like
Australia?’ ‘The weather must be a plus for you coming from The Netherlands?’ ‘What are
the biggest differences between The Netherlands & Australia?’ Here we go again I think to
myself and my facial expression probably doesn’t hide my slight irritation, but polite as ever
I will answer the questions with a smile. But then I thought, what actually are the biggest
differences between the two countries. Apart from the obvious answers like the weather,
language and maybe food. I was thinking what else can I think of in terms of work-culture,
drink-cultures and maybe even how people spend their free time.
So I thought time to make a little list, as I am a list person. I know this sounds like
something that has already been done before, but different eyes notice different things. And
so I might be able to open your eyes to think out of the box.
1. The prices, I won’t be the first one to say this, but Australia is expensive. A ‘vaasje bier’
for 3 euros is really a European thing, sadly.
2. Work culture, casual Friday, really this is a thing in Australia was my first thought?
Where in The Netherlands neat casual clothes are accepted in most offices, apart from the
Page 20
The Dutch in WA

Nanda's Blog
banks and law-firms of course. In Perth everyone has to wear business clothes to work apart
from casual Friday. Where in The Netherlands it’s accepted to wear neat but casual clothes
to the office.
3. Drink-culture, yeah what should I say, I suppose the prices have a connection to the predrinks culture Australia has developed over the years. Although I do really miss having a
drink in the ‘kroeg’.
4. Coffee-culture, most Dutch people will notice the slightly fussy coffee culture in Perth.
Which I must say does end up in a really nice cup of coffee, when you’ve finally figured
out what kind of coffee to order.
5. English is very basic. I’ve found myself trying to explain to my Australian boyfriend
multiple times that I had a ‘gezellige’ night. There simply is no word to describe what dutch
people mean with gezellig.
6. Wake up early! Australians really know how to wake up early. They seem to be morning
birds, which after 2 years has finally started to make sense to me. Waking up early can be a
great way to make the most out of your day. Or to meet some friends for breakfast.
(Something I would never do in The Netherlands) Where going out for breakfast here is a
big thing, in The Netherlands it doesn’t really exist apart from maybe a cheap HEMA
breakfast.
I write blogs on a regular basis about my life and views on Australia. If you are interested
you can have a look at: http://europeaninaustralia.blogspot.com.au/

Challenging puzzles by the Puzzle Wizard
CODEBREAKER PUZZLE
How to play the Game:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
P
O
A Codebreaker is a crossword
puzzle with no clues! Every
letter of the alphabet has been
replaced by a number, the same
number represents the same
letter always.
The codes for 2 letters are
revealed in this puzzle. Start
with entering these letters
throughout the puzzle and start
guessing your first word. If you
are unsure, use a pencil, then you
can erase and start again.
In he last Codebreaker a big
mistake crept in. The puzzle
itself gave 2 letters, which were
the right ones to start with.
But underneath the puzzle the
wrong letters were indicated.
But once the words "Unusual"
and "Ensue" were found, it was
plain sailing. The solution for
the March puzzle was as
follows:
A=23; B=24; C=3; D=18;
E=14; F=5; G=16; H=8; I=12;
J=4; K=20; L=7; M=21; N=17;
O=1; P=15; Q=19; R=11; S=9;
T=22; U=25; V=2; W=6; X=10;
Y=13; Z=26.
Sudoku
The aim of the Sudoku Puzzle is to insert numbers in the boxes to satisfy only one condition: each row,
each column and each 3x3 box must contain one each of the digits 1 through 9.
