Doel (2013)

Wikipedia:

According to a news conference and press release from August 20, 2008, "The Flemish Executive started last week with the demolition of the village of Doel on a massive scale. The historic village is situated in the vicinity of the Port of Antwerp. However there are still 200 inhabitants in the village who resist the demolition of their homes. That is the reason why the Flemish Executive resorted to sending a 100 strong squad of riot police to the village in order to force through the start of the demolition works. The sheer brutality and heavy handed approach of the Flemish Executive has left the remaining villagers humiliated and the wider region in a state of shock. The streets are strewn with rubble, big ugly gaps appeared in between the houses. The village now looks like a war torn zone. But still, the villagers show resilience and announced to go on with their resistance in a bid to save their village."

Wikipedia ( dutch ) :

FC Wageningen leefde na de overgang naar betaald voetbal enkele jaren op het randje doordat commerciële veranderingen te laat werden doorgezet. Zo was het één van de laatste clubs die een business club oprichtten. Het werd een succes met een inkomstenbron van zo'n 100.000,- gulden per seizoen, maar het kwam te laat. De hoofdsponsor -De Schoenenreus- kwam zelf ook in financiële problemen en verliet de club. Uiteindelijk wist FC Wageningen de schulden nog terug te brengen tot 500.000,- gulden, waarvan het meeste bij de fiscus lag.

Kijk op Zaandijk ( Dutch ):

(26 juni 2009) - Wie van welke kant ook maar naar het silhouet van Zaandijk kijkt, ziet de Zaandijkerkerk hoog boven de historische bebouwing van deze parel aan de Zaan uittorent.

Of het nou vanaf de Kalverringdijk is, of vanuit het westen langs het Guisveld, Zaandijk kun je niet missen. De kerk wijst op Zaandijk’s ligging aan de Zaan.

Die kerk, 350 jaar het sociaal en cultureel middelpunt van Zaandijk, staat nu te verkommeren en dreigt misschien gesloopt te worden. Zaandijkers, loopt te hoop, zoals eerder door uw actie Oudheidkamer en Zaandijkersluis werden gered!
