  • January 2016 Januar Happy New Year!
    SONS OF NORWAY BERNT BALCHEN LODGE – PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Bernt Balchen For years I did not know much about the man after which our lodge is named. All I knew is that he was a noted Norwegian-American aviator, nothing more. Then one day I noticed a book about Bernt Balchen on the book display table VIKING HALL 349-1613 in the library. It was Carroll Glines’ book Bernt www.sofnalaska.com Balchen: Polar Aviator dated 1999 and published by the Smithsonian Institution Press. I almost did not pick it up for I’m not an aviation buff, but I am glad I did for now I know why our lodge should be so proud to be named after January Bernt Balchen. He was truly a great Norwegian- American. 2016 Bernt Balchen was born at Tveit near Kristiansand in southern Norway in 1899. In his januar youth he thrived in the outdoors and became a skilled cross-country skier and ski jumper, avid hunter, and expert boxer. After graduating from the forestry school at Moseby he joined the French Foreign Legion and was assigned to Verdun. However, he was called up for service in the Norwegian Army just before the great battle. He soon qualified for officer training and was given special permission by the Norwegian Army in 1918 to volunteer with the Finnish White Guards in their fight with the Finnish Red Guards Happy New Year! and Soviet Russia. First a ski trooper and then a cavalryman, he was severely wounded in combat near Sortavala. After a lengthy recuperation he resigned his Army reserve position and joined the Norwegian Navy where he qualified for flight training.

  • The Greenland Ice Cap Rescue of B-17 “PN9E” November 5, 1942 to May 8, 1943
    U.S. Coast Guard History Program The Greenland Ice Cap Rescue of B-17 “PN9E” November 5, 1942 to May 8, 1943 By CAPT Donald M. Taub, USCG, Retired On November 5, 1942, a U.S. Army Air Force [USAAF] Douglas C-53 Skytrooper with five men aboard returning from Iceland, reported that it had made a forced landing on the Ice Cap on the SE coast of Greenland somewhere south of the radio beacon station located at the village of Angmagsalik, Bluie East-2 (BE-2). USAAF at the main airbase at Narsarssuak, Bluie West-1 (BW-1), called “O-No-To”, located near the southwest tip of Greenland, promptly began detouring aircraft, B- 17s, B-25s, C-47s, that were in transit from USA to Scotland, to search for the C-53. The B-17 “PN9E” was one of them. U.S. Coast Guard Greenland Patrol‟s (SOPA-USCG: RADM Edward “Iceberg” Smith) ships and its assigned U.S. Navy VP-93 PBY-5As had conducted the earlier aircraft search & rescues since the start of the trans-Atlantic flights via the “Snow Ball Route” that had begun on June 26, 1942, with three B-17 crashes on the first day; but were now busily engaged in other activities. Winter was already beginning to set in, and daylight was getting shorter each day. The establishment of additional sites on both coasts, including ship and air aids-to-navigation, weather stations as far north as Thule (BW-6), supplying the Sledge Patrol stations on the northeast coast, escorting Greenland convoys and conducting PBY anti-submarine patrols in the Greenland Air Gap continued during 1942.

Videre forbi det nye Wergelands Hus og langs Andelva, ei lita, men utrolig flittig elv som opp gjennom årene har spilt en helt sentral rolle i liv og virksomhet på Øvre Romerike. Treforedlingsindustriens inntog her dreide seg om sagbruk og tresliperier som medførte en av verdens (!) største tremasseeksportører. Ved Andelva var det også et teglverk der det ble produsert murstein, drensrør og takstein. Industrien ved Andelva var selve ryggraden i Eidsvolls økonomi i 100 år.

  • SHIPWRECKED GERMAN WEATHERMEN WINTER in ICE CAVES on SHANNON ISLAND, NORTHEAST GREENLAND by Arnold Court
    SHIPWRECKED GERMAN WEATHERMEN WINTER IN ICE CAVES ON SHANNON ISLAND, NORTHEAST GREENLAND By Arnold Court AVES dug into a snowdrift on Shannon Island housed 21 men for five C months at the last wartime German weather station to be “success- fully active in Greenland,” making and transmitting weather observations thrice daily; five other men lived in a crudehut. How their ship was beset and eventually abandoned, and how they existed through the winter until evacuated by air on 3 June 1944, is recounted by Dr. E. G. Triloff of Holzminden in the 1946 and 1947 issues of Polarforschung, published respectively in January and August of 1948 in Kiel, Germany. Except for an opening reference to other weather stations in Green- land, Spitsbergen, and Franz Josef Land, Triloff does not mention any similar attempts. But from other sources it appears that, out of at least 108 SHIPWRECKED GERMAX WEATHERMEN WINTER IN GREENLAND r 09 seven German stations whose establishment in Greenland was attempted, only one other operated through a winter. Three stations were captured within a few days after their establishment in the falls of 1940, 1941, and 1944, and two others were intercepted before landing, in 1940 and 1945 ("The Coast Guard atWar: Greenland Patrol, 11", unpublished document, U.S.C.G., Washington, 1945, pp. 162-204; 'DetGrGnlandske Selskabs Aarsskrift 1946' (Greenland Society Yearbook) pp. 168-1 85). As the war progressed, the Germans tried to establish their Greenland stations farther and farthernorth. Their first attempt was near Cape Biot (72" N.), where a detachment was captured in the fall of 1940 by the Free Norwegians, whose ship, the Fridtjof Nansen, also captured the Furenak, which had landed the party, and the Veslekari, with a second group on board.

  • The Press, the Documentaries and the Byrd Archives
    THE AMERICAN ARCHIVIST Archives in Controversy: The Press, the Documentaries Downloaded from http://meridian.allenpress.com/american-archivist/article-pdf/62/2/307/2749198/aarc_62_2_t1u7854068882508.pdf by guest on 01 October 2021 and the Byrd Archives Raimund E. Goerler Abstract One of the major news stories of 1996 was the discovery and analysis of Richard Byrd's diary and notebook for his North Pole flight of 1926. Byrd's claim to be die first to fly to the North Pole was challenged by his contemporaries and by later historians. The diary provided new evidence, and the news of its existence and meaning fueled stories that reached every part of the globe. Interest in Byrd also inspired producers of three documentaries. The archivist who dealt widi reporters and producers discusses die media coverage, the challenges of working with reporters and producers of documentaries, and the impact of the publicity on an archival program. n May 9,1996, the seventieth anniversary of Richard Byrd's flight to the North Pole, Ohio State University ("OSU") announced the discovery Oof a diary of the flight. The story about Byrd's diary appeared in news- papers and on television and radio across the United States and Europe, and as far away as Australia. At die end of 1996 columnist George Will ranked the story as one of the year's biggest, especially because of an interpretation of the diary that cast doubt upon Byrd's accomplishment.1 Producers also followed the Byrd story and used archival materials for three separate television documentaries. Rarely have archivists experienced such controversy over an event covered by the media.2 The publicity and the dramatic productions that followed the 1 George F.

Dir. 3D SofN Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/TheThirdDistrictoftheSonsofNorway The mission of Sons of Norway is to promote and to preserve the heritage and culture of Norway, to celebrate our relationship with other Nordic countries, and to provide quality insurance and financial products to its members. 1 Third District President’s Message June will be here before you know it! Hope many of you are going to the Convention June11- 15th to enjoy the city of Albany and all it has to offer! This May Norwegians proudly celebrate the 200th anniversary of their constitution. Using the American constitution as a guideline.. Norwegians composed their very own constitution. Significant factors and people involved in this were : The Treaty of Kiel; A peace treaty was signed on 14 January 1814 at Kiel. Dominion over Norway was transferred from the King of Denmark to the King of Sweden. Norway’s old dependencies; Greenland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, were not included in the transfer... they were to continue to belong to Denmark. In the drama that took place in Norway in 1814 there were two great protagonists. One of these protagonists was Carl Johan (1763–1844). He was christened Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte and was a lawyer’s son from the south of France. In 1810 Bernadotte was chosen to succeed to the Swedish throne, and he took the name Carl Johan. The King of Sweden was old and ailing, and the new Crown Prince lost no time in seizing the reins.
