# Lourche

Lourche was a French board game that was played in the 16th and 17th centuries. It was played, like backgammon, on a tables board. The rules of the game have been lost, Furetière (1727) describing it simply as a "kind of trictrac game", trictrac being the name given to the board used for tables games. The game is referred to in the English expression 'left in the lurch', parallel to the French demeurer lourche, referring to the hopeless losing position a player of the game could end up in.

## Names

In English the name is variously spelt Lurch or Lurche. In French it is the jeu du Lourche, l'Ourche or Ourche. In German it was called Lorzen, Lurz, Lurtsch or Lurtschspiel

## History

The game was listed by Rabelais in his work, Gargantua and Pantagruel, in 1534. In 1586, the English Courtier and Country Gentleman says that "In fowle weather, we send for some honest neighbours, if happely wee bee without wives, alone at home (as seldome we are) and with them we play at Dice and Cards, sorting our selves according to the number of Players, and their skill, some in Ticktacke, some Lurche, some to Irish game, or Dublets."
Shakespeare also alludes to Lourche, both in Coriolanus and the Merry Wives of Windsor. Addison (1892) notes that the game is also recorded as Ourche which "suggests that lourche stands for l'ourche, the initial 'l' being merely the definite article," and that ourche may have meant the 'pool' i.e. the pot into which the stakes were placed and thus may have an origin in the Latin urceus, a "pitcher" or "vase". Godefroy (1888) confirms that the game was known in French as Ourche and distinguished from Trictrac.
Samuel Johnson, citing Skinner, says that Lurch derives from l'Ourche, "a game of draughts much used among the Dutch", and that l'Ourche in turn comes from the Latin orca, "box" or "corner".
H.J.R. Murray simply records that 16th century works "often refer to a game of tables called lurch ... though none describes it."

This name is attested the first time in 1853 with exact location on the map of Francis Joseph Bouchette. The erection of documents of the parish of Mascouche, 1829-1831, indicate that the St. Pierre River has been designated "Ruisseau de la Plaine". Joseph Bouchette map of 1831 indicates that stream "Riv. St Mary ", echoing the designation appearing in a confession and enumeration of Seigneurie de Terrebonne in 1736.
The place name "Saint Pierre River" was formalized December 5, 1968, at the Bank of place names of Commission de toponymie du Québec (Quebec Geographical Names Board).

# Jean Paré (journalist)

Jean Paré (born Quebec City, 1935) is a Quebecois journalist, writer and publisher.

## Biography

Jean Paré completed classical studies at the Petit Séminaire de Québec and at the College Levis and then scientific studies at Montreal University (1955–1958). In 1992 he and some colleagues of other publishing houses were at the origins of the formation of the QAME (Quebecer Association of Magazine Editors), of which Paré was the first chairman until 1993. He was also broadcaster and radio commentator. Jean Paré wrote many books and also translated the work of many Anglo-Canadian writers, including Marshall McLuhan and Michael Ignatieff, former leader of the Canadian liberal party.

### L’actualité

He is mostly known for founding the newspaper L'actualité, which he ran for over 25 years. He was also chairman of the media group Maclean Hunter Quebec and then of Rogers Media Publishing from 1995 until 2000.
The first issue of the magazine L’actualité, published by the group Maclean Hunter, was released in September 1976. The purpose of this new monthly newspaper, born from the merger of Le Magazine Maclean and Actualité, is to give information about the political, economic, cultural and social news from here and elsewhere. The founders of L’actualité are Lloyd M. Hodgkinson, publisher, and Jean Paré, who was editor at that time. Jean Paré had succeeded to Louis Martin at the head of Le Magazine Maclean in April 1975 and had immediately set himself the task of creating a lasting newspaper with both of those struggling publications. Le Magazine Maclean was created in 1981. The other, Actualité, was the property of Claude Martin, a gallery-owner in Drummondville, and was founded around the same time by a group of influential Montrealers, among them Lucien Saulnier, town-councilor. The first editor of this newspaper was the Jesuit Jean-Louis Brouillé.
25 years later, when Jean Paré left, so at the end of the year 2000, L’actualité, which had become bimonthly in 1990, was still one of the biggest editorial successes in Quebec. While Le Magazine Maclean had been the loyal companion of the quiet revolution during the 60s, L’actualité became the witness of the new orientations of Quebec society and of the success of the new young generation. The newspaper played an important role at the time of the referendums in 1980 and 1995, as well as during the constitutional negotiations of 1982 and during the so-called Meech Lake accord and Charlottetown Accord.
