SAD NEWS (Received this sad news too late to make the July Newsletter)
HELLE OVERGAARD
Sunrise Mar. 11, 1963 - Sunset Jun. 27th 2017
It is with great sadness we announce that our dear Sister Helle Mai Overgaard (nee Bredahl), of Mississauga, ON. passed away peacefully in her sleep at Credit Valley Hospital due to complications from colon cancer. Helle was only 54 years old and is survived by husband Sune, her daughter, her 3 step-sons, her brother, her sister and her mother. I met Helle many times at our Conferences through the Federation of Danish Associations in Canada and told her about our Lodge here in Vancouver - after which she decided in 2013 to become a long-distance member in our Danish Sisterhood Lodge. Since then - we kept in touch via email and phone-calls and shared many fun stories and she always enjoyed reading our newsletters.
She was a beautiful and very positive woman - and we are all very sad to lose such a young member. A memorial service was held for Helle in July in the Danish Lutheran Church in Toronto with a following reception. She will be fondly remembered not only by her family and friends but also by her many sisters in Vancouver, BC, who knew her.
Respectfully submitted, Jannet Tricarico

` TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE
AUG. 21, 2017
All of North America was treated to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the path of totality could see one of nature’s most awe inspiring sights - a total solar eclipse. This path, where the moon completely covered the sun and the sun's tenuous atmosphere - the corona - could be seen and stretched from Salem, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. Even Observers outside this path, like here in Canada could still see a partial solar eclipse where the moon covers part of the sun's disk. It was an amazing event and will not occour for another 99 years.

CANADIAN THANKSGIVING - OCTOBER 09TH
Thanksgiving, occurring on the second Monday in October since 1957, is an annual statutory holiday in most jurisdictions of Canada, to give thanks at the close of the harvest season. Festivals are held, churches sometimes decorate with cornucopias, pumpkins, corn, wheat sheaves. Often harvest hymns are sung on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend and scriptural selections drawn from biblical stories relating to the Jewish harvest festival. While the actual Thanksgiving holiday is on a Monday, Canadians might eat their Thanksgiving meal on any day of the three-day weekend, though Sunday and Monday are the most common. While Thanksgiving is usually a family day and celebrated with a large turkey meal, it is also often a time for weekend getaways and further traditions such as parades and football can be a part of Canadian Thanksgiving.

MANY SPECIAL DAYS TO CELEBRATE
Canadian Thanksgiving - October 09th
The first recorded Thanksgiving in North America was actually held up in Canada in 1587. Various First Nations in Canada had long-standing traditions celebrating the harvest and giving thanks for a successful bounty of crops and many others organized harvest festivals, ceremonial dances, and other celebrations of thanks for centuries before the arrival of Europeans in N. America.
th th Mortens aften Nov. 10 - Mortens dag Nov. 11 In November the Danes celebrate Mortensaften. On that day Saint Martin would come on his gray horse (fog) - meaning that winter knocked at the door. The original Morten (Martin) was a fourth century French saint, buried Nov. 11th.. According to legend Saint Morten was hiding in a barn when a goose gave his presence away by quacking. That is why a goose is killed and eaten on Mortensaften. Many centuries later, Martin Luther (the reformer) was born on Nov.11th and this of course, is another reason “Mortensaften” is celebrated today. On this evening families and friends come together for one purpose – to eat deliciously cooked goose with all the trimmings.
J Day - Nov. 3rd
To celebrate the coming of Christmas, on the first Friday in November. Horse-drawn carts leave the Tuborg Brewery laden down with the limited edition Christmas Beer to deliver to the local pubs. At 8:59pm the Christmas beer is launched and locals will dress up, complete with Tuborg-blue coloured Santa hats; free samples of the years brew is handed out and replica snow (aka: foam) lines the streets, particularly in the Rådhuspladsen (Town Halls plaza). Why is it called ‘J-Dag’? ‘Juleøl’ is the Danish word for Christmas beer (‘Jul’ means Christmas) and the word ‘dag’ is Danish for ‘day’ – what does that mean? J-Dag means ‘Christmas Brew Day!’
Remembrance day - Nov. 11th
The day commemorates the sacrifices that Canadians made in armed conflicts, including World Wars I and II and symbolized by poppies people wear and place at war memorials. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance and comes from a poem: “In Flanders Fields” and describes the poppies growing in the Flemish graveyards where soldiers were buried.
rd American Thanksgiving Nov. 23
In the United States the first formal community wide Thanksgiving celebration was was held 32 years later in 1619. Thanksgiving tradition varied from Britain and started as a means to give thanks to God for a bountiful harvest.
Christmas Eve – Dec. 24th Since Christian tradition holds that Jesus was born at night. Midnight Mass is celebrated on Christmas Eve. This is also the evening where legendary ‘Santa Claus’, a figure with with mythical origins who, in many western cultures, is said to bring gifts to the homes of good children in late evening and overnight hours of Christmas Eve.
Christmas Day – Dec. 25th
Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift giving, Christmas music and caroling, church celebrations, a special Meal and the display of various Christmas decorations, including Christmas trees, Christmas lights, nativity scenes, garlands, wreaths, mistletoe and holly.
Boxing Day – Dec. 26th
Boxing Day is traditionally a day following Christmas when people would box up their presents. Today it has become a day to go shopping, exchange the received gifts and check out special sales at the Mall.
New Years Eve – Dec. 31st
The last day of the year where in many countries, New Year's Eve is celebrated with evening social gatherings, where many people dance, eat, drink champagne and watch fireworks to mark the new year. Some people attend a late night church service and the celebrations generally go on past midnight into January 1st (New Year's Day).

Robert Storm Petersen Sep. 19, 1882 – Mar. 6, 1949
He was a Danish cartoonist, writer, animator, illustrator, painter and humorist known almost exclusively by his pen name Storm P. He was the son of a butcher and grew up in Copenhagen in a lower middle class/worker's milieu whose jargon is felt in much of his writings. After interrupted studies at the Academy of Art, he worked as a free-lance painter, illustrator and cabaret entertainer. Already during World War I he was a well-known artist, and from about 1920 onward he was almost a national "institution" as a humorist, partly because of his versatile interests. He was for many years connected to the Copenhagen newspaper "Berlingske Tidende" as a comic writer and cartoonist. As a humorist, Storm P. is related to British and American humour, with a strong touch of craziness and absurdity. Often his starting point is a plain Copenhagen jargon, combined with a Danish down-to-earth homespun philosophy and all kinds of cosy fun and comedy; the "little" man's unimpressed comments on a crazy world. Though normally loved by most of his countrymen, Storm P. has also been criticised for being too toothless, cosy and petit bourgeois. In spite of his social background and interest of poor milieus, he very seldom shows deeper social criticism or revolutionary opinions; the dramatic age in which he lived left rather small stamps on his work. On the other hand he was no staunch giggler; many of his paintings deal with death, sorrow and macabre themes. Though not a revolutionary, he has indeed painted the victims of social injustice and misery, often with a strong touch of compassion. Melancholy and fear are not unknown to him, but his official appearance was an optimistic one. In 1977 a "Storm P. Museum" was opened and in 1982 he was featured on a Danish stamp. Petersen left about 60,000 drawings and 100 paintings of varied quality. His drawings are very often illustrated jokes, or series of a theme besides artist sketches. Among this favourite themes are the vagabonds – who are portrayed as grotesquely dressed-up petty philosophers – and the circus milieu that he regarded with much warmth. He is perhaps best known for his Storm P. machines, comic drawings of machines that perform very simple tasks through an unnecessarily complex and usually humorous series of actions. Besides that, he illustrated many books. As a painter he is clearly influenced by names like Edvard Munch and Toulouse-Lautrec, but often with an independent naiveté touch. Later on, Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky seem to have been an inspiration in spite of his often outspoken ridiculing of modern art. Among his many themes are extérieurs from Paris, from prostitution milieus and nature scenes. La Morgue (1906) and Kultur (1908, "Culture") are two of his most well known paintings. As an author he wrote many short stories and tales, often parodies on detective stories or melodramas, small cozy snap-shots from the Copenhagen lower middle class milieu, absurd and surrealistic tales or, especially, "monologues" put into the mouth of bums, artists, etc. Special kinds of tales were the monologues put into the mouth of his own dog (the Grog, My Dog-tales 1926–1935), in which he let the dog reflect on life, death and daily life, sometimes with a light touch of sadness and pity within the humour. Storm P. is also well known in Denmark as the author of a number of comics (titles in Danish): De tre små mænd og nummermanden (The three little Men and the Number Man) 1913–1923 is a play with situations: three little men making mad pranks leading to success or failure.. En underlig Mand ("A strange Man") from the 1930s was an absurd strip cartoon about a man who reacts illogically and solves problems in an unexpected way. Peter og Ping ("Peter and Ping"), 1922–1949 was his greatest success, a comic strip about a small citizen and his friend (or adopted son) Ping, a speaking penguin. Their experiences in Copenhagen, spiced by Ping's absurd expressions and jokes, were extremely popular and even led to the foundation of a Ping Club for children. Dagens flue ("The Daily Fly") that started in 1939 were drawings illustrating humorous philosophical jokes which often contained a deeper meaning. Storm P. was also an occasional freelance actor and performed in several early Danish silent movies. He later acted in stage comedies to supplement his income. In 1920 Petersen created the first Danish animated cartoon titled Tre små mænd (English: Three Little Men). He also designed scenery for ballets and plays.

NYHAVN IN COPENHAGEN
is a 17th-century waterfront, canal and entertainment district in Copenhagen, Denmark. Stretching from Kongens Nytorv to the harbour front just south of the Royal Playhouse, it is lined by brightly coloured 17th and early 18th century townhouses and bars, cafes and restaurants. The canal also harbours many historical wooden ships. Nyhavn was constructed by King Christian V from 1670 to 1673, dug by Swedish prisoners of war from the Dano-Swedish War 1658–1660. It is a gateway from the sea to the old inner city at Kongens Nytorv (King's Square), where ships handled cargo and fishermen’s catch. It was notorious for beer, sailors, and prostitution. Danish author Hans Christian Andersen lived in Nyhavn for some 18 years. The first bridge across Nyhavn opened on 6 February 1875. It was a temporary wooden footbridge. It was replaced by the current bridge in 1912. As ocean-going ships grew larger, Nyhavn was taken over by internal Danish small vessel freight traffic. After World War II land transport took over this role and small vessel traffic disappeared from the Port of Copenhagen, leaving Nyhavn largely deserted of ships. In the mid-1960s, the Nyhavn Society (Danish: Nyhavnsforeningen) was founded with the aim of revitalising the area. In 1977, Nyhavn was inaugurated as a veteran ship and museum harbour by Copenhagen’s Lord Mayor Egon Weidekamp. In 1980 Nyhavn quay was pedestrianised; it had been used as a parking area in the previous year’s which had coincided with a dwindling of harbour activities. Since then it has become a popular spot for tourists and locals alike, serving the function of a square according to architects Jan Gehl and Lars Gemzøe. The northern side of Nyhavn is lined by brightly coloured townhouses built with wood, bricks, and plaster. The oldest house, at No. 9, dates from 1681. Between 1845 and 1864, Hans Christian Andersen lived at No. 67, where a memorial plaque now stands. From 1871-1875 Andersen lived at Nyhavn 18, which currently houses an Andersen-themed souvenir shop. The southern side of Nyhavn has lavish mansions lining the canal, including Charlottenborg Palace at the corner of Kongens Nytorv. Veteran Ship & Museum Harbour
Nyhavn Veteran Ship and Museum Harbour, occupying the inner section of Nyhavn, between the Nyhavn Bridge and Kongens Nytorv, is lined with old ships. From the foundation of the heritage harbour in 1977, the south side of the canal has been reserved for museum ships owned by the Danish National Museum, which received a donation of carefully restored ships from A. P. Møller, while the northern side of the canal was put at the disposal of the Nyhavn Society and privately owned, still usable wooden ships. Harbor ships include: Lightvessel XVII Gedser Rev – lightvessel built in Odense in 1895, in operation until 1972, then acquired by the National Museum and now serving as a museum ship. Svalan af Nyhavn – galease built in Jungfrusund in 1924 Anna Møller – galease built in Randers in 1906 MA-RI – purpose-built smuggling ship built in 1920; boarded by custom authorities off Elsinore with smuggling goods aboard in 1923, then confiscated and sold on auction, then operated both as a fishing vessel and as a ferry between Poland and Bornholm, again as a smuggling vessel. Mira – two-masted schooner built in Fåborg in 1898, considered one of the finest ships of the Danish small vessel traffic of the time. For many years it transported chalk from Stevns. The first ship on the north side of Nyhavn, coming from Kongens Nytorv. The Boat Theatre - a lighter-type barge built in Copenhagen 1898, since 1972 operated as a theatre boat.
Memorial Anchor The great Memorial Anchor (Danish: Mindeankeret) at the end of Nyhavn, where it meets Kongens Nytorv, is a monument commemorating the more than 1,700 Danish officers and sailors in service for the Navy, merchant fleet or Allied Forces, who sacrificed their lives during World War II. The Anchor was inaugurated in 1951, replacing a temporary wooden cross erected on the spot in 1945, and has a plaque with a monogram of King Frederik VII on it. The Memorial Anchor is from 1872 and was used on the Frigate Fyn (Funen), which was docked at Holmen Naval Base during the Second World War. Every year on May 5 – Denmark’s Liberation day 1945 – an official ceremony is held to honour and commemorate the fallen at the Memorial Anchor.
