Editorial
Rédaction
I am trying to decide if I should cease publication of our magazine Késsinnimek - Roots - Racines after the December 2007 issue. I wrote a personal message to each of our authors, asking them their opinion to help me decide. I published their comments in the October issue.
As I indicated in my October Editorial, I plan to include all comments and suggestions sent to me by our Readers in my November Editorial. I value your opinions and suggestions. I thank each of you sincerely for your comment. Merci bien, chers amis & amies.
Je suis en train de décider si je vais cesser la parution de notre e-zine après décembre 2007. J'ai écrit un courriel à chacun de nos autheurs, en leur demandant leur opinion. J'ai publié leurs commentaires dans la parution octobre.
Comme j'ai indiqué dans ma Rédaction de la parution octobre 2007, je vais inclure toutes suggestions et opinions de nos Lecteurs dans ma Rédaction de novembre 2007. Vos commentaires ont beaucoup de mérite. Merci bien de votre participation.
To whet your appetite, the Îles-de-la-Madeleine or Magdelan Islands are located smack dab in the middle of the Gulf of the St. Lawrence at 61°30'W and 47°45' N which is, surprisingly, a continuation of the Appalachian chain. They are very easy to reach, we might call it a ''Two-Turn Trip''. From Montréal or Québec you take the highway 20 to Rivière-du-Loup, turn right onto the Route 185 which becomes the Trans-Canada Route 2. Go to Souris, PEI and across from the arena turn right again and drive down…the boat is awaiting you for a five-hour crossing...
Those of us who are of French-Canadian ancestry will find it hard to disguise that fact. It is almost as obvious as a bad toupee or a slip that shows...
Two hundred and ten years ago, in July 1797, Dr. Stephen Allen saw his house being raised up onto the granite slabs that had been transported by horse and sled from the nearby Stepping Stone quary. It was completed for occupancy by September of the same year. It was a typical farmhouse with a central chimney that contained three fireplaces: one for the Keeping room, another for the Parlor and the third for the master Bedroom, with its attached "borning room"...
The following valued comments and opions were sent to me by our Readers. Thank you:...
I have always wanted to write an article about November! November is the eleventh month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of four Gregorian months with the length of 30 days. November begins in western tropical astrology with the sun in the sign of Scorpio (astrology) and ends in the sign of Sagittarius (astrology). Astronomically speaking, the sun actually begins in the constellation of Libra, passes through Scorpius from approximately the 24th through the 29th and ends in the constellation of Ophiuchus, which is the only zodiacal constellation that is not associated with an astrological sign...
After a recent visit to Washington, D.C., I was impressed to find a newly published Franco-American history on the shelves of a local bookstore. "For Liberty and Glory: Washington, Lafayette and Their Revolutions" by James R. Gaines, tells the story of George Washington and Marquis de Lafayette as colleagues and military leaders who made extraordinary changes on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean after fighting side by side during the American Revolution...
In a month’s time, I will be completing my first year in this farm. It is wise. I have added nipa-roofed eaves on the east and north front of the house and a trellis on the west flank, for wider protection from the rains. I have now built a new larger kitchen and sink area for my cooking and dish-washing, converting its former space into two semi outdoor guestrooms (one with a hammock for siestas) and a bath-hut for the Japanese tub - both facing the prairie front and gardens...
To paraphrase Jane Austen’s opening to her novel “Pride and Prejudice,” a successful man should have a wife. Jean Talon, Intendant of Quebec during the mid seventeenth century, did his best to satisfy the needs of the 400 or so men from the Regiment Carignan-Salieres who stayed in Canada to clear and farm the land after their military service was over. From 1665 to 1673, Talon sent about 1,000 eligible young women to Canada, with the understanding that they would marry the former military men. To the women from upper-class families, Talon gave a dowry and expected them to wed the former officers of the regiment. To the others, he granted provisions for a household and 50 livres...
