I started printing it out, but stopped short when I saw it has some 67 pages. I now understand why it took so long to prepare this issue. By setting my printer parameters to 2-up per page and printing back-to-back I now have it on 17 sheets.

A new Acadian holiday needed? Historian proposes honoring memories of thousands of people who died during deportation By 2005 - the 250th anniversary of the start of the Acadian deportation - Stephen White would like Acadians to observe Dec. 13 as a day of remembrance for those who lost their lives during the period of "great upheaval." The Acadian population in the Maritimes had been growing at rate of 3.5 per cent annually in the years before the deportation period (1755 to 1763), according to White's estimates. Had the expulsion, and the associated loss of life through disease and shipwrecks, not occurred, the Acadian population in the Maritimes could have been nearly 40,000 by the end of the eighteenth century, White said, a genealogist with the Centre for Acadian Studies at l'Université de Moncton. Instead, the Acadian population was about one-tenth that. He estimates between 5,000 and 6,000 people died during the deportation period, but notes that some people would have died anyway. With a population, according to White's research, that had a median age of 15, meaning half were older than 15 and half were children, many of the dead were children. That's not an image of the population, he said, that's represented in the paintings depicting the deportation. "There's a great deal of loss of life throughout all of this," he said. The genealogist first suggested the date, which he said would be an equivalent to Remembrance Day, two years ago at the annual meeting of the Federation of Associations of Acadian Families. Yesterday, during the annual general meeting of the Federation of Associations of Acadian Families, members of the group voted in favour of White's proposal to have the group promote the acceptance of the date with other Acadian organizations. It's a motion Dieppe city Coun. Jean Gaudet, a member of the association, said Saturday that he was willing to second, should someone else not beat him to it. "I think this is a notion we have not known or not paid attention to the fact that so many of the people died during the five or seven years of the deportation," he said. The significance of Dec. 13 as a day to remember those who died during the period relates to the roughly 850 deaths that occurred in December 1758, on three ships that set off from Isle Saint Jean, now Prince Edward Island. The Violet sank on Dec. 12 and the Duke Williams sank on Dec. 13, while the Ruby ran aground in the Azores Dec. 16. "These three ships taken together represent the largest loss of Acadian life," White said, within such a short time period during the deportation era. White said his idea is not to have a government proclaim the day. He also pointed out having a day to remember those who died during the deportation period has "nothing to do with any kind of laying of blame or criticism." It would be no different than Remembrance Day as a day to remember those who lost their lives. White has worked as a genealogist at the Centre for Acadian Studies for 28 years reconstructing the Acadian population of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. And his work has involved tracing the families during the deportation period. "My work has been largely a matter of, if we can't put a face on these people, at least we can give them names and ages," he said. The Canadian government is finalizing a royal proclamation to recognize the Acadian deportation. Last month, Heritage Minister Sheila Copps said the proclamation would coincide with marking July 28 as the anniversary of the signing of the first deportation order in 1755.

Owen Taggart (who is wonderful) sent the following response. Hope it helps In a message dated 10/22/03 09:15:47 AM Eastern Daylight Time, seaire@starband.net writes: In french it says "L'évèque a accordé une dispense de parenté spirituelle." As near as I can figure, the bride was probably a former nun on probation who chose not to proceed with her final vows. Does anyone have any better idea what this dispensation is about? In English it would say "The bishop granted a dispensation from spiritual relationship." Until the first Code of Canon Law was compiled and promulgated in 1917, the impediment of spiritual relationship arose between the person baptised or confirmed and the minister of baptism, the sponsors (godparents), and between the parents of the person baptised or confirmed and the minister and sponsors. In the 1917 Code, the impediment existed only between the person baptised and the minister or sponsor. In the current Code, there is no longer an impediment of spiritual relationship. Fr.

Monday, October 27, 2003 11:49 A.M.  Library in Sunset reopens after tornado The South St. Landry Community Library: 235 Marie St., Sunset By William Johnson wjohnson@dailyworld.com Library services for the people of Sunset return to normal today. Last December, a tornado hit the library, tearing off the roof, twisting steel beams and soaking the library's book collection. "It's wonderful now," said South St. Landry Community Library Director Golda Jordan of the space at 235 Marie St. "It's amazing that a disaster can bring about such wonderful things." After months of recovery work, the library reopened in March in a small, temporary building next door with limited hours and services. Now, almost a year later, the library is at last back in its original home with bigger and better services. The library has added a Genealogy, Louisiana history and professional collection room named for Alice Clay. Clay, who now lives in a nursing home in Lafayette, is credited for beginning public library service in Sunset. "She was the high school librarian. She would open the library to the community during the summer," Jordan said. Also new is a separate young-adult area to complement the library's children's area. By using the old conference room, the library has also added an adult reading area. "People can now go in there and enjoy reading in private ... away from all the noise," Jordan said. The library's temporary home in recent months is being converted into a community center, which the library will use for conferences and meetings. Jordan gave special praise to St. Landry Parish Sheriff Howard Zerangue, Chief Deputy Laura Balthazar, Deputy Harvey Wimberly and trusties from the St. Landry Parish Jail for making the new library possible. They've built shelves, painted walls and, for the past month, helped moved the library out of its temporary quarters back into its old home. "They did a great job. They really worked hard," Jordan said. She said the disaster was also an opportunity to upgrade many of the library's systems, including creating a new computerized catalog system and library cards. While much is bigger and better, one important area did suffer in the storm, Jordan said. "We lost more than 2,000 books," she said. Since the storm, the library has received donations of books from the East Baton Rouge Parish Library System and numerous donations from both locals and people from out of state. While the new books will help fill in holes in the collection, they must first be cataloged. Jordan is currently working on a grant to allow her to hire a cataloger to speed the process along.
