Rel. 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. When the Swedes selected Carl Johan to succeed to the throne, Carl Johan did not do what the Swedes expected, instead he turned against this old friend Napoleon and brought Sweden into the war against France. The prize which lured him on.... was Norway. Carl Johan founded a new dynasty in Sweden and the current King of Sweden is a direct descendant of that soldier of the French Revolution. The other great protagonist was Prince Christian Frederik (1786–1848), a member of the Oldenburg dynasty which had ruled Denmark and Norway for almost 400 years. He was heir to the throne of Denmark-Norway, King Frederik VI’s cousin. In May 1813 the war situation was critical, and, 26 years old, Christian Frederik was sent to Norway as Governor. A prominent member of the Independence Party was Christian Magnus False (1782–1830), a magistrate. False had participated in preparing an important draft constitution for Norway: for this reason and as a result of the commanding role he assumed at Eidsvoll he has been called “the father of the Constitution”. A unionist was Count Herman Wedel Jarlsberg (1779–1840), one of the extremely few noblemen in Norway. Wedel Jarlsberg probably had more political experience and insight than any other representative at Eidsvoll. On the 11th of April, 112 men came together as a constituent assembly, and a national assembly. They met at Eidsvoll, sixty kilometres north of Christiania, Of the 112 members of the National Assembly, 33 were specially elected from the military, while the rest represented the rural districts and the towns. Holders of public office, civil and military, predominated, being more than half of the assembly, yet they did not include the top officials. A handful of the delegates were owners of large estates and works, thirteen were merchants. Christian Frederik’s election rules ensured that the farmers should be well represented; nearly one third of the assembly were farmers. On 17 May 1814, all the representatives at Eidsvoll signed a new constitution for independent Norway, and elected Christian Frederik to be King. The most important ideas expressed in the Constitution were: The sovereignty of the people, the separation of powers; Freedom of the individual. This is just a short synopsis! If you would like to read more about it please go to the website: http://www.stortinget.no/no/Grunnlovsjubileet-2014/Jubileumskalender/?mid=1 Take some of this information to your meetings and share this monumental event. Show your Norwegian pride by Marching in the 17th of May Parade in Brooklyn. The constitution is the theme this year and the pin they have chosen is gorgeous. I'm certain this pin will become an heirloom for many May is also the Month Americans honor our Mothers… please take this day and show your Mom how much you care….. old or young everyone needs a hug now and then. May we also memorialize our service men and women. Remember those who have passed and those who serve now; for as we all know ” Freedom is not free ” and these dedicated people keep us safe to celebrate living in a free country every day of our lives and theirs. Though it can’t express how we really feel we say THANK YOU for all they have done. Without their sacrifice there would be no American or Norwegian constitutions to celebrate! Gail, Ask & Advertise ---------- Mentor and Mingle. 2 Vice President, Mary B. Andersen, VP Voice It's our organization and I couldn't be prouder and if you can't hear me, I'll shout a little louder. Actually I don't shout, it was not permitted when I was growing up. But many of you will probably recognize the above words and recall the simple chant shouted at high school sporting events to support the team. I wonder if they still do it! The pace of activity in the District is picking up! Our fraternal brothers and sisters are scurrying around preparing for the Convention. Delegates have been elected, resolutions drafted and Zone caucus meetings are scheduled. If you are a delegate, congratulations! You have a very important job; you represent your lodge when discussing the business affairs of the District much as a Congressperson or Senator represents their constituents in conducting government business. Take an active role at your Zone caucus; ask questions if you are not sure what is going on; read the reports book before the convention begins. First time delegates should make a point to attend the informal gathering just for first timers. Make sure you step out of your comfort Zone and meet people from other Zones. This is your opportunity to learn how things work in other lodges; to make new friends, to learn new things and to share what you do in your lodge and support the District and all its volunteers (that includes you!). Make sure you report everything you learned back to your lodge; better yet, why not blog about? Talk about it on the 3D facebook page as it is happening; you can keep your lodge members up to date every step of the way. It's not quite shouting but let your voice be heard! Finally, let us all remember our President and her husband in our thoughts and prayers. Brother Rolf Ekloff suffered back injuries in a recent car accident. However, he is determined to make it to the convention. You can't keep a Norwegian down! Hip, hip, hurrah for Syttende Mai and the 200th Anniversary of the signing of the Norwegian Constitution! Happy Mother’s Day Happy Memorial Day! Remember all who serve (past and present) Thank you, All the best, Mary Spotlight on Membership 3 By Mary B. Andersen, 3D VP New lodges are like new businesses. They start with such enthusiasm and excitement and then something happens and the momentum is lost and some go out of business or in the case of a lodge, they disband. One of our newer lodges still has their mojo working! This month the spotlight is on…………….. For this month's article, I interviewed Ruth Campbell, President of Norsk Carolina Lodge. How do you maintain your momentum? President Campbell said that "we are open and friendly; the Board members naturally fan out across the room and talk to the attendees. We are a very comfortable group to be with, or so we have been told." Tell us more. We try to reach out to other lodges. We realize we are part of a bigger organization and try to think globally. We participate in other lodge events and they participate with us. I think it increases and strengthens connectivity and identity with the Sons of Norway; it strengthens the bonds that tie us together. What kind of programs do you have? We do a lot of different things. We have a monthly meeting but it is important for us to stay connected between meetings. This month, we have something going on almost every weekend. We will be sponsoring a Syttende Mai activity as well as participating in a local International Day. We have participated in other local Scandinavian events and marched in the St. Patrick's Day parade. We also emphasize the Sports Medal programs. Many of our members bowl in a league, walk regularly, and take exercise classes. (Some have even been known to do Orienteering and run half marathons.) We try to branch out and do different things. What are some of the other activities? Well, we have participated in events that run the gamut of age groups from school programs to presentations in nursing homes. Our Vice-President, (in true Norwegian fashion our VP did not want to draw attention to herself and, requested not to be named!) has an excellent bunad presentation which always engages the audience. She also maintains our facebook page and our website. She scours the local newspapers for possible venues for us and then we have organizations that we spoke at a few years back who ask us to come back.

Grunnlovsbygda Eidsvoll tilbyr kultursti med avslutning og omvisning i selveste Eidsvollsbygningen. Turen starter ved Gamle Eidsvoll Verk Bru fra 1813 med sin egen dramatikk, der krig og Riksforsamlingen hindret bruarbeidet. 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. Stien slynger seg nedover langs elva i idyllisk landbruksområde og store evjer. Ved Mago C i Vengerfossen går turen videre tilbake over Venjarmoen, Myravegen og til Eidsvollsbygningen. Publikumssenteret Wergelands Hus ligger noen få skritt fra Eidsvollsbygningen, på området til gamle Eidsvoll Jernverk. Her kan du være med få omvisning i selveste Eidsvollsbygningen.

  • Følelsesmakt Emosjonshegemonisk Strid I Den Norske Eliten, 1660-1850
    Følelsesmakt Emosjonshegemonisk strid i den norske eliten, 1660-1850 Jarle Pedersen Masteroppgave i historie Våren 2018 Institutt for arkeologi, konservering og historie Det humanistiske fakultet Universitetet i Oslo Forsidebilde: En aften i det Norske Selskab 1780 Malt av Eilif Peterssen i 1892 Forord Arbeidet med denne avhandlingen begynte med et vagt ønske om å på en eller annen måte utforske “emosjonell intensitet” som historisk fenomen, og hva var vel ikke da bedre, tenkte jeg, enn å studere den revolusjonære perioden på slutten av 1700-tallet og begynnelsen av 1800-tallet i en dansk-norsk kontekst. Gradvis ble det vage formet til et gjennomførbart prosjekt. Etter to års dypdykk i spissfindig emosjonshistorisk teori/metodologi er det på tide å takke alle som har holdt ut med en historikeraspirant halvt til stede i bøkenes verden og halvt i den virkelige. Først og fremst må jeg takke kona for oppmuntring og støtte hele veien, og for å ha lest korrektur på utallige utkast. Deretter må jeg takke min dyktige veileder Klaus Nathaus som har oppmuntret meg til å være ambisiøs i å formulere mine problemstillinger, vært usedvanlig rask til å svare på e-poster, hjulpet meg til å tenke teoretisk og logisk konsekvent, vært nøyaktig og punktlig i sine tilbakemeldinger og kommet med faglig relevante innspill. En stor takk rettes også til historiker Eirinn Larsen, og hennes kollokviegruppe, for å ha lest deler av avhandlingen og kommet med innspill. Jeg må også takke mine foreldre, min søster og hennes mann for støtte og for mine svigerforeldres utallige barnepass som har gjort jevnt progresjon i arbeidet mulig.
