Long Live the King! The Last Queen’s Day 30 April is not just a day in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It’s a celebration of the bond between the citizens and their queen. The custom became popular after princess Wilhelmina was born, celebrating her birthday on August 31rst, known as “Princess Day”. When she became queen, this changed into Queen’s day after she started her reign. Her crowning was even proponed not to interfere with Queens Day. When her daughter Juliana became Queen, the date changed to 30 April, Juliana’s birthday. Our current Queen, Beatrix, who’s Birthday is 31 January decided to keep to date of April 30,in honor of her mother and of course in April the weather is far more favorable for festivities and ceremonies then midwinter. This year, Queen Beatrix Announced that she would abdicate her throne to her eldest son, prince Willem-Alexander, who will be the first King after more than 100 years of Queens ruling the Kingdom of the Netherlands. So what’s a typical Queen’s day like? In short since it’s an official holiday, most people go and attend the festivities organized by various groups. Some of them, like the official visits of the Queen are nationally coordinated, others, like the royal fan clubs locally.

Especially with the crowing of the new King, the web shops are selling anything thinkable related to the royal family and or orange colored. You can almost outfit your whole house accordingly.

Most of the activities are flea markets and traditional Dutch games As of 10 October 2010, the Kingdom officially consists of four sepalike koekhappen” (cake-biting) and other outdoor activities. Amsterrate countries that are each other equal. There are: Aruba, Curacao, dam and Utrecht are famous for their flea Saint Maarten and The Netherlands. The markets that start on the eve of Queen’s “There is a warm bond between the governor of Aruba is the representative of day. the Queen on Aruba and as such non-execroyal family and Aruba.” Since the royal family are members of the house of Oranje-Nassau (derived from the Orange region in France), the traditional color to celebrate Queen’s day is, you guessed: Orange. Everyone and everything gets an orange touch. The traditional tricolor flag has an orange pennon on top (the Queen rules), there’s an orange liqueur and not to mention the “orange tompoezen”, puff pastry filled with custard and topped with orange glazing.

utive head of government.

Historically his role has grown, as he is her representative, to receive and accompany the Queen when she visits plus to manage, and oversee the activities related to the royal family. For instance on 26 of April, it is customary to honor those who have served the Kingdom in a humanitarian way, for instance by volunteering a lot with a special decoration or knighthood, traditionally referred to as “lintjesregen” (Ribbon rain).

Aruba Hearth & Garden Monthly April 2013 Anyone in the Kingdom can nominate a person they think made a difference. After a special committee has examined the person’s effort, the decoration is awarded by the governor. This year, Queen’s day, because of the abdication, will be different. On 30 April 2013 Prince Willem- Alexander becomes King and his wife,

with which all schools in the Kingdom (hence also Aruba) will be participating, Another Kingdom wide activity is the creation of a book, titled “My dream for my county” Anyone in the Kingdom can draw, paint, sketch, write, rhyme or video their vision of the Kingdom. After a selection, the best creations will be bundled and published and all households will copy. And the videos will be featured online. The third Kingdom wide activity is the creation of a special song for our new King (koningslied). Online anyone can suggest lines and famous Dutch composers and artist will compose the song. It will be sung by video connection live to our new King from all corners of the Kingdom at the same moment (130 PM on 30 April). And of course the traditional celebrations will continue. The community centers ( Centro Di barrio) will organize activities, there will be a fishing contest, a miniature sailing contest and much much more fun activities. Regrettably this year will be the last Queen’s ball and Queens Day.

princess Maxima will become Queen. After the official ceremony in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, they will, among other things, tour in an antique sloop through the canals of this city. Through video connections each community can share and follow the activities.

But next year on the 27 April, you can decorate everything orange again, since we will be celebrating King’s day. Long live the King!

And of course on Aruba, we will participate with the celebrations throughout the Kingdom. The bond between Aruba and Queen Beatrix has always been warm and Arubans see our royal family as the glue that holds the Kingdom together. The same warm welcome and cherished bond was noticeable when the royal couple visited two years ago. A special committee, formed by representatives from the Governor’s Cabinet and the Council of Ministers , is coordinating all projects and activities. Of course we hope that everyone will put out their flag and decorate homes and windows in Orange or royal themes. Our future King has requested to involve children as much as possible. The celebrations will start on 26 April with a Kingdom wide breakfast on all schools, followed by a morning of fun healthy activities Called the King’s Games”,

Special thanks to Mr. Martijn Boelen, Ms. Nicole Hoevertsz and Mr. Roel Samson & the governor’s kabinet.

Statue of Princess Wilhelmina Wilhelmina Park

2013 is a year of changes. Since 16 March 1815, The Kingdom of the Netherlands is a monarchy and has been reigned since 1890 by Queens. In 1890 Wilhelmina, with her mother Emma as regent, became Queen and in 1898, when she was 18, reigned by herself. After her ( Wilhelmina), her daughter Juliana reigned the Kingdom and currently her granddaughter, Queen Beatrix reigns the Netherlands. For over 100 years, the Kingdom of the Netherlands was reign by Queens. This year, Queen Beatrix announced on 28 January, that she would abdicate her throne on Queens day ( 30 April) in favor of her eldest son, Prince Willem-Alexander. He will be the first King to rule the kingdom. Since the relationship between the Royal House and Aruba has always been one of warmth and joy, we thought in the light of these changes it would be nice to share the story of the one of Aruba’s cherished monuments, the statue of Princess Wilhelmina. The statue of Princess Wilhelmina (31-08-1880 – 28-11-1962 reign 1898-1948) in the eponymous park was unveiled in October 1955,by her daughter, the then reigning Queen Juliana. To the statue belongs an elevated base with stairs. The Wilhelmina Memorial “ Wilhelmina was the ﬁrst of three queens to rule the Kingdom Committee initiated the task of the Netherlands for more than a hundred years..” of constructing and fitting.

The Executive council ultimately guaranteed the eastern end of the Lloyd G. Smith Boulevard.

Curtain Call The solution for your windows.

Close your eyes and think of light flowing from crisp white curtains framing the view of our beautiful azure blue ocean. Or think of modern shades made of those clean materials that keep out the heat, yet filter the light to a delightful ambiance. Curtains or the current virtually endless options in fabrics or materials, window solutions, are essential to creating atmosphere, whether it’s at home or in your office. It’s funny how a window solution can set the mood for a whole room. Roman, honeycomb or rolling, horizontal or vertical shades will add a touch of simple efficiency. Lush long embroidered drapes will instantly add warmth and coziness to an empty space. Yes, the ruffles from the past have moved on to rich washable fabrics that complement a room rather than smothering it. A pattern or bright colors in the fabric can lighten up a dull room in an instant. Somehow

with the right window solution a living room feels more like home and your children’s room more a magic recluse, then just as room.

Papiamento Aruba’s own language

Language is considered the most important unifying factor of a culture. Language carries all thoughts and human experience, culture and identity. Language transfers culture. The most widely spoken language on the Dutch Caribbean islands Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao is Papiamento. This year we commemorate that 10 years ago (in 2003) Papiamento was recognized as official language in Aruba. In Aruba 68.34% of the population have Papiamento as the most spoken language (CBS CENSO 2010). The total amount of speakers in the Dutch Kingdom is about 226.600. Our image of the world, how we experience reality (live), our norms and values, all are transferred with language. Language is not a neutral instrument, for many of us language is anchored very deep in our being. Sense of belonging is very important in a society. It is the language we speak which determines with what culture or class, category or group we feel connected and to which nation we feel we belong. Papiamento is the mother language of the majority of the population of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao.

Aruba Hearth & Garden Monthly April 2013 was first and where it came from. Some linguists sustain the hypothesis that Papiamento is a relexified offshoot of an early Upper Guinea Portuguese Creole variety. The oldest documents in Papiamento are from the year 1775 in Curacao and one from Aruba dated 1803. In the colonial period standardized languages like we have today did not exist, there were many variants and dialects. According to linguistic scientific criteria Papiamento is a language in its own right and not a macaronic blend of standardized languages. Papiamento has its own grammar, form of making sentences, its own orthography and it has the status of official language. Considering the social functions of Papiamento, its evolution and social status it has, it is one of the so called, creole languages (relative young), that is most studied and considered unique in comparison with other creole languages. We are one of the few countries in the world, that were colonized, that has not the language of the colonial country, as the language of daily use of the majority of it’s population, we have our own language.

A language that, during it’s history, against all oppression, developed from spoken language, to written language and language of general cultural use. Dutch as the other official language remains the language of instruction in education (since 1936). English is an obliged subject and Spanish can be chosen in education. In a globalized world nowadays the word languages become more important Papiamento, one of the so called “contact or creole languages”, origifor the economy, trade and nated in a situation of contact with different linguistic influences and to continue with advanced with a basis in the seventeenth century. education abroad. So don’t be surprised, many Arubans can communicate in a minimum of four languages, depending on their education, Linguistic influences came working and life experience. In fact Aruba is “Papiamento and Dutch are the oﬃcial languages of Aruba ” from indigenous languages a multi-linguistic society.

It dialects (grammatical influence) and later, with the establishment is very important for a language to have literature, books of consultaof the oil refinery in1929, from English. The debate on the origin of tion, scientific books and the function of the language in education is Papiamento centers on the Portuguese and Spanish influence, which very important, these are the wealth of a language. As national language and as official language we have to give Papiamento the value it deserves. It is very important to have enough facilities, teachers, correctors and material available to learn the history and to learn to read and write our own language well. Besides cultural expressions like music, dance, theater, plastic arts, literature is also very important for all societies. Not only for education, but also for our culture in general literature in Papiamento is very important for our future. “Bon bini na Aruba y un feliz estadia!” (Welcome to Aruba and have a happy stay!).

Dura Home Center Make your house your home. All my life, I’ve been surrounded by furniture, says Fetina Croes- Baroud, with my father, who still was active in his furniture business years ago in Curacao (16 years ago we moved to Aruba).

Over the years, the furniture business expanded with home decoration, accessories and almost anything you need to run a household. Today, Dura Home Center is a household brand in Aruba and many generations have come here to decorate their homes on our beloved island. Most of our customers are repeat customers for life. Our bond with customers lasts for years. A couple of years, ago, I became general manager/director of Dura Home Center. My father believed I and, my brother-in-law, Abdallah, were ready and capable of running the store. Before I became general manager I was in charge of purchasing and I always try to keep our choice as diverse as there are people on the island. Everyone has a different taste, but in Dura Home Center, you can always find something to fit your style and budget. We carry European and non- brand items. Choose from dining sets, sofas, chairs and different storage solutions, from closets to custom solutions in different colors and materials. Decorate your home with our wide selection of cushions, place mats, curtains, bedding and throws. Here at Dura Home Center we also have an abundance of perfect home accessories. What about a frosted

A pentagon of culture & history Willem III Tower and Zoutman fortress

One of the most prominent landmarks in Downtown Oranjestad is without a doubt the Willem III Tower and Zoutman fortress. Painted in bright white, blue and red, it’s not only a monument pentagon fortress and tower, but also home to the foundation of the historic museum. Besides a permanent exhibition about the history of Aruba, there are various temporary educational projects to that rotate on a different base.

All the additions that had been added over the years, like bans, sleeping quarters were demolished.A section of the pavement was brought to the surface again at the restoration. -This is, together with the walls of the fortress and kitchen with the oven (has been in use until 1936), the oldest and most original part of the fortress.

For instance right now there is an exposition by the local artists Rita Maasdamme with dolls in their various historic contexts, says Ferdinand Franca, director.

ships safely to the Paardenbaai. The lighthouse,was built in 1868 at the main entrance on the West side of the fortress, on request of lieutenant governor J.H. Ferguson in 1866 to the Governor of Curacao in order to place a town bell. The decision was made to build a lighthouse where the bell could be placed at the same time and where the time could be shown on the hour (this happened until 1933). The tower was named after William III, King of the Netherlands, who would be the last king for more than a century and was lit for the first time on his birthday, February 19, 1868. The kerosene lamp had been previously replaced by a two pit petrol lamp (an old example of the California Lighthouse) and in 1930 by an acetylene lamp. The tower received electric lighting in 1935 and in 1937 it obtained the form it has until today.

The new bell was ordered at Petit & Fritsen (Aarle-Rixtel). The wooden balcony was replaced with a balcony with concrete floor. The lamp was then still situated in one of the corners. In 1963 it was taken away and the tower lost its function as a lighthouse. Nowadays, the fortress and tower is the perfect backdrop for any cultural event. From christenings, to Holy Communion, weddings & birthday parties, you can reserve part or the complete location to throw an excellent party, have a recital, meet with your customers in a different ambiance or present your latest accomplishment.

One of the best things of buying a new home, whether it is a second vacation home, the first house you will start a new life in, is that it implies a new start. Not as harsh as the New Year’s resolutions, but somewhere you can envision yourself in your new home sitting in a lush tropical garden, or taking up a hobby from that organized garage. And if it doesn’t go as planned, you can always blame the move. After all packing your whole life into boxes for most never is simple. Here are a few tips to help you move. Are you moving locally or abroad? If you are moving abroad, check to see how you can transport your stuff and how much time it will take to arrive. Shipment overseas can take up to three months.

Friends & family or a professional moving service? Of course everyone has a different budget, but try and see what fits best. Even if you’re moving locally you might consider a moving service. Don’t forget to check your insurance to see if your move is covered. Start sorting & packing early Go through any stuff you don’t use on a regular basis (like Christmas decorations). Obtain moving boxes and start packing and labeling the boxes. Most people find it easy to pack by room. E.g. Dave’s stuff, Kitchen, etc. Don’t pack any stuff you know you will be using soon, but allow some extra time to pack the last items around the house.

This can either on you while you are moving( carry-on luggage) or in a location (at a friend, bank safe) that you trust. Post move Do force yourself unpack those boxes that have been lingering I the corner. Another option is to leave them closed for a few months, open them up, asses if you really really need the stuff and organize a yard sale from the items you no longer require in your new home.
