Van de vice-president
Aangezien de voorzitter nog altijd van haar
vakantie geniet (althans dat nemen we aan, geen
nieuws is goed nieuws!) is aan mij de eer om dit
keer een stukje te schrijven. We zitten midden in de
winter en dank zij de nachtvorst genieten we van
heerlijke zonnige dagen. Mijn tulpjes, ze zijn nog
heel klein, staan voorzichtig boven de grond.
Helaas heb ik niet de groene vingers van mijn
ouders georven en heb het niet eerder aangedurfd
om tulpen te poten.
Afgelopen herfst was er een aantal piepkleine
tulpenbolletjes over nadat alle goede exemplaren
verkocht waren na het eerste Tulpen Festival. Ik
bedacht dat ik daar niet veel aan kon verprutsen en
alles wat het kon kosten was een zak potgrond en
een beetje moeite. En nu staan ze boven de grond!
Ik hoop dat ze ook een paar tulpjes zullen
produceren.... Dat brengt ons naar het ‘Tulip
Festival’ dat voor de deur staat. Het bestuur werkt
samen met de ‘Tulip Festival Trust’ en de Daffodil
Society om er weer een succes van te maken. We
hopen dat het elk jaar een beetje groter groeit en zo
Hamiltonions laten zien dat we trots zijn op onze
nederlanse cultuur.

Vice-president
Dutch Connection, Museum update
The new museum trust, the “Te Awahou, nieuwe
stroom” is up and running. The trustees include the
Foxton council and Arjan van der Boon for the
Dutch Connection.
For the Dutch Connection it is full on fundraising
time, the main project at the moment the tile tableau which artist Anneke Borren is making.
The Waikato Netherlands Society is sponsoring
tiles as well as other Societies, the Federation will
discuss their participating at the next ANCM in October in Wellington. If you want a tile with your
family name on it in the tableau you have to be in
quick, there are only so many available. A great
way to have your family name preserved for next
generations to see. Reina Vijselaar, who did a wonderful job in creating the website for our Festijn in
2008 is working on a new and very extensive website for the Dutch Connection. Reina and husband
Peter moved from Morrinsville to Waimate a few
years back but is still very much involved in the
Dutch community.

There are great gifts from people towards the collection to the museum, such as a bridal gown, antique furniture and there are discussions to have the
Dutch street organ “De Lieve Stem” on a long term
loan. There is still a great deal to be done with
fundraising but these are exiting times for the New
Zealand Dutch emigrants. The Dutch Connection
will be at the Hamilton Tulip Festival with a stand
inside the Pavilion and is more then happy to bring
you up to date of the latest news. You can become
a friend of the Dutch museum for a $5.00 donation.
Talk to them at the festival.
Hallo beste vrienden,
Hier zijn we dan weer met de laatste nieuws van de
FSN. Het is nog volop winter en ik hoop dat U
allen niet al te veel last heeft met de nodige
virussen die rond gaan. Zo te horen heerst de swine
flu in de Waikato en zijn er vele kinderen ziek met
het een of het ander. Zelf heb ik ook in de lappen
mand gezeten met de griep maar ben er nu aardig
overheen.
Sinds de AGM heeft de committee alweer 2
vergaderingen gehad en een volunteers meeting.
De volunteers meeting was erg gezellig en we
hadden een goede spreker van de Cancer Society,
die veel uitleg gaf tussen de verschillen van de
Cancer Society en Hospice. En mensen kwamen
dan ook met de nodige vragen. Het was voor allen
een leerzame morgen.
Onze volgende volunteers meeting is geboekt voor
woensdag 22 September 10 uur in Netherville Hall.
Onze guest speaker voor deze morgen is Jos
Jongenelen en zijn topic is safety in en rond het
huis en over ACC. Verder is er ook weer een
spelletjes dag geweest en die werd deze keer
gehouden in Netherville en was als altijd weer heel
geslaagd geweest. Nou de voorzitster en her deputy
zijn beiden overseas dus is het even rustig.
Verder is er niet veel meer te melden.
Wens ik al de zieken van harte beterschap en tot de
volgende keer.
Hartelijke groetjes Ria Smits.

Doetie Keizer
Tuesday 21 September

Netherville Hall
Entry $5.00 per person
Incl. coffee in the interval.
Show is in the English language
Sacks in the staffroom
In this one-woman show, which is suitable for audiences from about 30 to 90 years of age, I have successfully combined my singing, story telling and accordion playing skills and made sure there is a great variety
of items in the show.
I have been singing for 20 years in bands, choirs, concerts, competitions (winning awards and trophies) at
weddings, anniversaries and music clubs.
My story telling and piano accordion playing skills have always been well received by family members,
friends and students ( I have been a school teacher for 20 years) The majority of the funny stories in the
show deal with language misunderstandings.

FOR ALL YOUR ENTERTAINMENT
Hallo alle Rikkers,
Dat natte winterweer is ideaal weer om te kaarten!
Dat was te zien aan de enorme opkomst op de Rikdag van Juni, 23 spelers!
Er werdt flink gestreden voor de meeste puntjes. In
juli was het wat rustiger, maar even gezellig.
Sorry, ik kan geen uitslagen geven, die zijn bij
Toon en Riet van Rijen en zij zijn momenteel in
Holland. Vandaar dat de volgende Rikdag (22 aug)
gehouden wordt bij Klaas en Ria Kuipers,
165 Lamb St. Cambridge. Tel 07 8273633
Er schijnt een nieuwe Rikgroep te zijn in Lauriston
Park, Cambridge. Onder leiding van Piet Melis. We
zien er naar uit om in de toekomst een locale competitie te hebben tussen de twee groepen.
Nou, ik zou zeggen: "Hou je warm, wear your
gumboots". En we hopen op een goede opkomst in
augustus,
vriendelijke groetjes,
Ria Kuipers.

Coffee culture. PART 1
If you are in town these days you see almost more
coffee shops than pubs! Coffee now is a totally different cuppa than we had on our farm 50 years ago.
At nine o’clock, after we ate (we just ate, everybody knew it was breakfast at that time of the day;
we never had lunch or dinner too for the same reason) mother went to the kitchen to grind the
Weduwe Van Nelle Roodmerk coffee. Yes we
where faithful to the Weduwe, others believed
Douwe Egberts was the man. The Weduwe lived
nearby in Rotterdam and Douwe, I take it, was all
the way from Friesland.
We also had a Van Nelle coffee grinder on the
wall. It contained one whole pack of coffee and had
a square glass cup to catch the material. The
grinder was likely saved up from the coupons you
found on the back of the coffee and tea packets.
Then she took the octagon, aluminium coffee pot.
When they are new they are nice and shiny just like
the whistle jug but after a week they changed appearance. We used VIM to clean them and VIM
foamed and could not scratch so it was advertised,
well apparently it was rather the opposite. The coffee, a whole square glass cup, got tipped on the
bottom of the pot and cold water got added. And of
course, we added one scoop of Buisman. That
came in a little tin pot with razor sharp edges and a
flimsy spoon. Buisman was created in the time that
coffee was expense. It was made from burned chicory roots (witlofwortel) and gave extra aroma. The
lid of the Buisman tin had to be firmly pushed on.
Buisman was like concrete if it absorbed moist and
rendered that little spoon useless, a chisel became

handy. Then some kind of a plunger with a hollow
stick was placed on top of the coffee. I do not want
to inform you where the water came from but it
was from around the farm. In the winter the pot
was placed on the stove we had in our farmhouse.
In the summer it got placed on the grey enamel
kerosene one wick cooker.
After half an hour or so it boiled. The liquid was
pressed upwards through the hollow stick. You
could see the bubbling through the little glass percolating knob on top of the pot. That was the time
the full cream milk got heated. For that we had a
special cooker with a special lid. We took one of
those to NZ, the most useless item we took. Ours is
SOLA, stainless but mother had a grey enamel 3
litre milk cooker. This also went on the stove in the
winter and in the summer on a two wick’s kerosene
burner, also grey enamel. This brought the milk on
the boil in 15 min. By then it was 9.45 hours. Coffee time was at 10. This was to make sure the coffee and milk were well boiled! At 10 the liquid got
poured in cups with a saucer from all kind of sizes,
material and colours. The coffee went through a
strainer.
In spite of that you could find later plenty of sludge
in your cup and some of it stayed on the bottom,
the rest likely was consumed. Why there was never
a milk strainer in our house, perhaps was not invented, I don’t now but coffee strainers and a matter of fact, tea strainers were made for just that purpose. It would have been a big help to stop the well
formed firm skin diving in your cup. “For the extra
aroma” mother shouted! Then you had to try to
scoop that by product from over cooked milk on
your saucer if you could get it all. There was also a
biscuit, a Maria biscuit. We where Protestants and
had plenty of Catholic neighbours and friends. I
always wondered why we just had to eat that bis8

cuits. It could have been the price of course. My
sister had to do the dishes in our household and
how she ever could scrape the rubbish and stains
from the cups and saucers I don’t know but perhaps
with the help of VIM. The coffee had to stay for 10
minutes on the table, we had plenty of time and it
was also another family gathering with the eight of
us, sitting on all kind of chairs around our large
table. Taking the cup on your lips before the 10
minutes could result in third degree burns to your
lips, tong, removed your tonsils and left a nice scar
on your downpipe. Another point was that after 10
minutes waiting we all had to remove a skin now
formed on top of the brew. Spoons were needed not
only for stirring the sugar in the coffee……
This was the way aunties, mothers of friends and
neighbours made their coffee. Yes, making coffee
or as it is now, creating coffee, came a long way
since. And the moral of the story: You did not get
sick from drinking coffee made from all kind of
water but more of all, IT WAS CREATED IN SILENCE!

She has recently been invited to join the Advisory
Board of the NZ Netherlands Foundation which is
looking at ways to keep that heritage alive and relevant and is keen to help with this project.
With the upcoming local elections I thought it
would be a good idea to tell you a bit more about
our Dutch City Councillors Marijke Westphal and
Peter Bos. Both are Trustees in the Hamilton Tulip
Festival Trust and very supportive for our “Dutch”
activities.
Marijke Westphal
Marijke was born in Bakhuizen, Friesland and
came to New Zealand at the age of 2. Her parents
wanted a better life for their children after living
through the war in Europe.
She has lived most of her life in Hamilton though
the family first settled in Te Poi where her father
worked in the dairy factory.
Her parents were well known as owners of the
wool shop in Hamilton for nearly 25 years. Marijke
was brought up on the values of honesty and hard
work and has always been proud of her Dutch heritage. She says that her parents worked hard all their
lives and instilled a strong sense of the importance
of family in their children. Their Dutch culture was
never forgotten and Fries was spoken in the home.
While many second generation Dutch Kiwis were
not as culturally aware she believes that there is a
revival of interest among the subsequent generations that is taking place now. This has occurred for
a number of reasons such as changes in attitude
towards immigrants, the multicultural nature of
New Zealand where heritage and culture is celebrated and the ease with which we can travel overseas nowadays.
Peter Bos
Born in 1945 in Eindhoven Peter emigrated with
his parents to NZ and they were send to a remote
rural area as part of Government policy. His parents, like many others, did not come for themselves; they came for their children. It was hard
work as many of you experienced yourself and his
father told him “Daar waar stront is, daar is geld,
Pietje” This Dutch statement is the equivalent of:
“where there is muck, there is money” In other
words, never to be too proud to take on a job.
Peter is married to Jan with 3 sons and 2 grandsons. He is a 4th term Councillor and was responsible for the vegetable gardens at Netherville Retirement Village being utilized and established by the
residents on Council land. He lives by his motto
“straight talk, hard work”.
Peter proposed at the Festijn 2008 in Hamilton that
some 10,000 tulip be planted in the Hamilton Gardens to highlight the contribution the Dutch immigrants have made to NZ. Last year was the first of
Tulip Festival and a great success, and with more
entertainment and tulips this year designated to be
a popular attraction for Hamilton. Peter would also
like to see a register where Dutch people can leave
their histories and help others to find their roots.
This is part of what the Dutch Connection can
achieve with the help of us all. Still plenty to do for
the Dutch in New Zealand and we need people like
Marijke and Peter in the council.

Voor zaterdag 26 juni was de Morrinsville club
uitgenodigd om bij ons te komen spelen voor een
vriendschappelijke wedstrijd. Zoals gewoonlijk is
het weer een fijne en gezellige dag geweest.
Degene met de meest gehaalde punten was
natuurlijk Tonny v d Broek met 10934 P. Tweede
werd Jan Overdevest met 10452 P en op de derde
plaats kwam Jaap Vethaak.
Op zaterdag 17 juli hebben we in combinatie met
de Morrinsville club, deelgenomen aan de
jaarlijkse RINGIN competitie. Bij deze
gelegenheid werd Simon Genet de winnaar met
10912 P, met als tweede Tonny v d Broek met
10075 P en Jan Overdevest kwam als derde aan
met 9692 P. Zaterdag 14 augustus hebben we weer
een leuke dag gehad in Morrinsville. Alles met
elkaar waren er maar 22 spelers. Met de hele dag
regen was het goed om binnen te zitten met
vrienden en met heel veel lekkers te eten. Ook hier
kwam Tonny v d Broek weer als eerste aan met
9935 P. Kees Zegwaard werd tweede met 9899 P,
en Maria Kanters met 9871 kwam op de derde
plaats. Martien v d Aa kon met 6693 P ook nog
een prijsje winnen.
Dinsdag 17 Augustus zijn we weer begonnen met
onze oefenavonden na een korte vakantie, omdat er
nogal wat leden op vakantie waren.
Ook nu zijn er nog een aantal overseas, maar dat
gebeurd ieder jaar dat we rond deze tijd weinig
mensen hebben om te oefenen.
We moeten echter een paar weken goed ons best
doen, want op 6 September hebben we een optreden in Founders Theatre voor een “Citizenship
Ceremony” van Hamilton City.
Dan natuurlijk hebben wij onze optredens voor het
“Tulip Festival” op 18 en 19 September.
Begin October hebben we dan nog een paar optredens in Morrinsville, dus zoals U ziet hebben we
nog een paar drukke maanden.
Verder heb ik weinig te melden.
Wij hopen vele mensen te zien op het “Tulip Festival in de Hamilton Gardens en natuurlijk hopen we
op goed weer.
Groeten en tot ziens
Jos Jongenelen
Donderdag 12 Augustus hebben we afscheid
moeten nemen van Bill Verhoef. Het was goed om
te zien dat bijna alle leden van de club
tegenwoordig waren bij zijn begrafenis.
Woensdag avond, voor we begonnen met kaarten,
is er een minuut stilte gehouden in zijn eer.
