NORWEGIAN SEATTLE Norwegian Seattle (2008) published by Arcadia Publishing and authored by Kristine Leander, is more than a community’s private scrapbook. Like all Arcadia books, it is filled with historical photographs, but Norwegian Seattle also explains what makes the community tick. The author lived in Norway for nearly two years and came to appreciate the harsh environment and rugged landscape that formed those who came to America. The author traces traditions—such as expectation of cooperation and mutual aid, acceptance of hard work and physical danger, appreciation for building construction and architecture, respect for cleanliness, approval of strong, independent women, and love of nature —to what they learned on the land they left behind. Early Norwegian immigrants formed clubs for emotional and financial support and to learn American culture. The last chapter in the book traces the transition of those clubs and traditions to opportunities for modern Norwegian Americans to celebrate and learn about Norwegian history, language and culture. In between chapters and photos highlight important Norwegian American citizens and how the Second World War affected the community. This treasury is a proud tribute to all the Norwegians who settled the Pacific Northwest and their descendents. ­­­ Scandinavian Spring 2009 3 Many Norwegians were loggers in the Laura Christoffersen and her daughter early 1900s.

Først og fremst vil jeg benytte anledningen til å takke min fantastiske veileder, Jostein Gripsrud. Med dine gode råd, din faglige kompetanse og, ikke minst, ditt upåklagelig gode humør har du ikke bare gjort arbeidet med oppgaven lettere, men også hyggeligere. Jeg er utrolig takknemlig for det. En stor takk vil jeg også rette til Fredrik Skavlan, Anne Lindmo og deres nære medarbeidere Marianne Torp Kierulf, Jan Petter Saltvedt og Stine Traaholt. Jeg setter veldig stor pris på at dere velvillig stilte opp til intervjuer. Jeg opplevde å bli utrolig godt tatt imot av dere, og fikk mange gode svar som har vært til stor nytte for meg i dette forskningsprosjektet. Jeg vil også takke mine kjære medstudenter som har sittet sammen med meg på rom 539. Vi døpte tidlig vårt kontorfellesskap GOE DAGA. Et navn som spesielt de siste, intense månedene har fremstått som mer og mer ironisk. Likevel er jeg sikkert på at vi, etter hvert når skuldrene senker seg, vil se tilbake på tiden som har vært med glede og savn. Vinterning og bråkebøter er begreper jeg alltid vil minnes med et smil om munnen. Sist, men ikke minst, vil jeg også rette en stor takk til familie og venner. Spesielt takk til verdens beste mamma og pappa.

    CENTRAL PARK TRACK CLUB THE FIRST THIRTY YEARS 1972 Dave Blackstone Lynn Blackstone Jack Brennan Fred Burke Cathy Burnam Arnold Fraiman Frank Handelman Marc Howard Fred Lebow Andy Maslow Jerry Miller Richart Miller Kathrine Switzer Robert Urie IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WAS DAVE… “In the early 1970s there were perhaps two dozen runners who trained regularly in Central Park, many of whom did not compete but had track or cross-country backgrounds and stayed in shape, for example, Frank Handelman, Bob Urie, Jack Brennan and myself. Through the late 1960s and early 70s the only team winning Met titles was Millrose, except in cross-country where the NYAC was dominant, fielding national-class runners. I thought it would be fun to organize these regulars into a team, so in September 1972, my wife, Lynn and I called a founding meeting in our apartment and Central Park Track Club was born.” — Dave Blackstone, founder and first president of CPTC That was the genesis of our club. During the The history of CPTC might be divided into two ensuing 30 years, that little band consisting of parts — BG and AG. Long before George Dave and Lynn, Ben Gershmann, Larry Wisniewski came on the scene, CPTC had a Langer, Judge Arnold Fraiman, Walter Nathan, definite presence in local competition.

    West Valley Marathon ANNOUNCING: NIKE TRACK CLUB The new A.A.U.-Sanctioned Nike Track Club is now open for membership. This club will be most unique in that a human resource file will be developed to en­ courage the co-operative exchange of services, special abilities, and skills that members can share and provide with/for each other.

  • If One Were to Describe European Dance Since the 1990S in Geopolitical Terms, It Would Be a Disintegration of the Center and Dispersion Toward New Cells
    2005.12.28 If one were to describe European dance since the 1990s in geopolitical terms, it would be a disintegration of the center and dispersion toward new cells. While on the one hand we see a continuing diversification of expression, we are also seeing the start of trend toward similarity in the creative approach and ideas due to the development of information networks and media. The creators are questioning the fundamental elements of “creativity” as the source of creation. Within this context, there was widespread critical acclaim when the Lyon Dance Biennial 2004 chose a program consisting primarily of artists from what had until recently had been considered the peripheral regions of Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and the Mediterranean countries rather than the “mainstream” countries of France and Germany. This move was considered an apt reflection of present conditions. In fact, there is increasing attention coming to focus today on the refreshing new expressions coming out of these areas of Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and the Mediterranean countries, which are indeed possessed of new, untapped appeal. Among these up and coming dance nations, Finland has shown especially vital growth in recent years. It is dance that is energetic and strong-boned or, you would not call it stylish or adroit, but it stands out among the dance styles of Europe with a unique vibrancy that draws from an accentuated presence of the body. For example, among the performances I saw during the 2005 season, the one that perhaps left the strongest impression was Borrowed Light by one of Finland’s representative choreographers, Tero Saarinen.
