Sigdalslag Saga Volume 35, Issue 1 SIGDALSLAG SAGA VOLUME 35, ISSUE 1 February, 2015 Volume 35, issue 1 Sigdalslag SAGA Since 1911 Serving Norwegian-Americans of Sigdal, Eggedal and Krødsherad ancestry Inside this issue: Sigdalslag SAGA-February 2015 Something worth noting with this edition of the Saga is the absence of new President’s letter 2 members. It brings to question the purpose of belonging to a lag. I joined in 2012, when Stevne Information 3 Sigdalslag hosted a trip to Norway. Before that I had always thought of myself as a Norwegian Enger Garden 4-5 but wondered if the people who really lived in Norway would think that was kind of ridiculous. Upon going to Norway with the Sigdalslag group, I discovered so much more about this Ole Knudsen Story 6 wonderful country and it’s warm and interesting people who embrace us, the descendants of Church Project 7 emigrants. I have learned that the people who stayed in Norway are curious about family Norway Fun Facts 8 members who started life in America and delight in becoming acquainted with them, no matter Ellen Roenspies Obituary 10 how far off the relationship. The lag was originally created to connect people with their families. We need to encourage this in the generations to come. We, as a lag, need to remain pertinent Norman Mortenson Obit 10 to our youth if we are to continue. Norway is a wonderful place to be connected to and it Kathryn Watnaas Obituary 11 supplies us a rich culture to retain. Following, you will find some interesting facts about Edna Volding Obituary 11 Norway, gleaned from the www.tripadvisor.com site. Encourage the next generation to embrace this fantastic place and get involved in all the great things Sigdlaslag connects them to. Norway is regarded as the birth place of modern skiing. The word "ski" is Norwegian and simply means "piece of wood" or "cleft piece of wood". Contrary to English, the word "ski" is not a verb (only noun) in Norwegian, so Norwegians say "to walk on skis" (cross country) or "to stand on skis" (alpine skiing). American movie Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back (episode V) was partly recorded at Finse, near the Oslo-Bergen railway, in March 1979. The Finse area appears in the movie as Hoth, the snow & ice planet. Many Norwegians contributed as extras. The Vikings of Norway (and Scandinavia) are well-known, they had a reputation as fierce and fearless fighters. Vikings did not have helmets with horns (as shown in the popular comic strip, Hägar the Horrible). In fact, it is not clear if Vikings used helmets at all. While tens of thousands of Viking weapons have been uncovered, only one (1) helmet from around the Viking period exist. The Viking helmet is merely a legend. Although the word "viking" is now used about people from Scandinavia, thousands of years ago in west-germanic languages it possibly referred to pirates, sea born warriors or seamen of any origin. Although Finland has been named " The Land of a Thousand Lakes", Norway's lakes do in fact far outnumber Finland's. About 450,000 (half million) lakes in Norway are identified, compared to the 188,000 lakes in Finland. About 200 lakes are 10 km² (1000 hectars or 4 square miles). While Norway's freshwater lakes are modest in area, several lakes are among the deepest in the world or in Europe. Hornindalsvatnet in Nordfjord district is the deepest lake in Europe and the 12th deepest in the world (at least 514 meters), but only 50 square kilometers surface area. This lake is only 50 meters which means that most of the lakes volume is below sea level. Mjøsa, Norway's largest lake and located in central eastern region, is also the 2nd deepest in Europe and the 19th deepest in the world. The original cheese slicer ("ostehøvel") was invented and patented by Bjørklund, a Norwegian carpenter, in 1925. Norwegian cheese, particularly the special brown cheese, is now mainly eaten as thin slices, often on open sandwiches. The word "høvel" is identical to the Norwegian word for "plane", a carpenter tool. Norwegians eat brown cheese (brunost) a type of sweet cheese that is not really cheese. Brown cheese is made by evaporating most of the water in the leftovers of ordinary cheese production. In the most common version, Gudbrandsdalsost, cream is added to make it fat and "full". Brown cheese made from goat's The Board Members who gathered at the home of President milk is called "geitost".

Nitrogen deposition has been roughly constant during the past 20 years, with only a minor decrease in the late 1990s. The resulting changes in the chemistry of small lakes have been followed by national monitoring programmes initiated in the 1980s in Finland (163 lakes), Norway (100 lakes) and Sweden (81 lakes). These lakes are partly a subset from the survey of 5690 lakes in the Northern European lake survey of 1995. Trend analyses on data for the period 1990-1999 show that the non-marine sulphate concentrations in lakes have decreased significantly in 69% of the monitored lakes. Changes were largest in lakes with the highest mean concentrations. Nitrate concentrations, on the other hand, were generally low and showed no systematic changes. Concentrations of non-marine base cations decreased in 26% of the lakes, most probably an ionic-strength effect due to the lower concentrations of mobile strong-acid anions. Acid neutralising capacity increased in 32% of the lakes.

    Terrestrial Heat Flow Determinations from Lakes in Southern Norway* RALPH HÅNEL, GISLE GRØNLI E & KNUTS. HEI ER Hiinel, R., Grønlie, G. & Heier, K. S.: Terrestrial heat flow determinations from !akes in southern Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 54, pp. 423-428. Oslo 1974. Twenty-four heat flow determinations based on measurements in !akes are presented from southern Norway. All the measurements Iie within the Pre­ cambrian Baltic Shield and the Permian Oslo Graben. The mean value, 0.96 ± 0.21 hfu (l hfu = 1(}6 cal/cm2s), is in good agreement with previously published results from both Norway and the Baltic Shield in general. The results give additional evidence in favour of the suggested presence of a zone of anomalous low mantle heat flow to the east of the Caledonian mountains in Norway. R.

  • The Aquatic Glacial Relict Fauna of Norway – an Update of Distribution and Conservation Status
    Fauna norvegica 2016 Vol. 36: 51-65. The aquatic glacial relict fauna of Norway – an update of distribution and conservation status Ingvar Spikkeland1, Björn Kinsten2, Gösta Kjellberg3, Jens Petter Nilssen4 and Risto Väinölä5 Spikkeland I, Kinsten B, Kjellberg G, Nilssen JP, Väinölä R. 2016. The aquatic glacial relict fauna of Norway – an update of distribution and conservation status. Fauna norvegica 36: 51-65. The aquatic “glacial relict” fauna in Norway comprises a group of predominantly cold-water animals, mainly crustaceans, which immigrated during or immediately after the deglaciation when some of the territory was still inundated by water. Their distribution is mainly confined to lakes in the SE corner of the country, east of the Glomma River in the counties of Akershus, Østfold and Hedmark. We review the history and current status of the knowledge on this assemblage and of two further similarly distributed copepod species, adding new observations from the last decades, and notes on taxonomical changes and conservation status. By now records of original populations of these taxa have been made in 42 Norwegian lakes. Seven different species are known from Lake Store Le/Foxen on the Swedish border, whereas six species inhabit lakes Femsjøen, Øymarksjøen and Rødenessjøen, and five are found in Aspern, Aremarksjøen and in the largest Norwegian lake, Mjøsa. From half of the localities only one of the species is known. The most common species are Mysis relicta (s.str.), Pallaseopsis quadrispinosa and Limnocalanus macrurus. Some populations may have become extirpated recently due to eutrophi- cation, acidification or increased fish predation. Apart from the main SE Norwegian distribution, some lakes of Jæren, SW Norway, also harbour relict crustaceans, which is puzzling.

  • The Early Holocene Ice-Dammed Lake Nedre Glomsjø in Mid-Norway: an Open Lake System Succeeding an Actively Retreating Ice Sheet
    NORWEGIAN JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY Vol 98 Nr. 4 https://dx.doi.org/10.17850/njg98-4-08 The early Holocene ice-dammed lake Nedre Glomsjø in Mid-Norway: an open lake system succeeding an actively retreating ice sheet Fredrik Høgaas1 & Oddvar Longva1 1Geological Survey of Norway, P.O. Box 6315 Torgarden, NO–7491 Trondheim, Norway. E-mail corresponding author (Fredrik Høgaas): [email protected] The existence of large late-glacial ice-dammed lakes in Mid-Norway was recognised in the late 1800s. Mapping of the lakes’ distribution provided novel and valuable information regarding ice age palaeogeography and glacial isostatic adjustment, but the findings failed to convince the scientific community at the time. Divergent opinions concerning the inland lakes have lingered to the present, in particular as the purported glacial lake shorelines have been interpreted as subglacial or lateral meltwater features. In this study we revisit the largest palaeolake – glacial lake Nedre Glomsjø – and attempt to unravel the controversy using high-resolution airborne LiDAR data. Our mapping has revealed key and hitherto undescribed landforms indicative of an open lake system. De Geer moraines signal that the ice sheet retreated in a water-body corresponding to the elevation of the Nedre Glomsjø shorelines. The De Geer moraines also determine that the ice sheet in the region did not merely melt vertically down, but rather retreated actively southward, and we thus refute studies claiming that the purported shorelines formed along a closed ice-filled basin with stagnant ice. Based on the number of De Geer moraines, the ice-sheet margin is estimated to have retreated step-wise through our study area at a rate of 200–600 m yr-1.
