Hurra for Syttende Mai!! Gail 5 Pictures of Past Syttende Mai Parades in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY 3D Third District Today May 2016 Happy Syttende Mai Happy Memorial Day Happy Mother’s Day Support the Charitable Trust Published by Ron Martinsen, 3D Pub. Rel. Dir. 3D SofN Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/TheThirdDistrictoftheSonsofNorway 1 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. Fra Presidenten, Mary B. Andersen, May 2016 It is time to get down to business “Cumulatively small decisions, choices, actions, make a very big difference” Jane Goodall As can be expected at this time, your Third District Board and many of your fraternal brothers and sisters serving on convention committees are busy getting ready for the 64th District Lodge meeting to be held in June at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This location was specifically chosen to enable as many lodges as possible to attend. Each delegate makes a difference. The delegates set the course for the future direction of the Third District! You have a voice; I hope your lodge will use it by sending delegates. Lodge delegates will receive a Convention Reports book in late April or early May via email. It is the delegate’s job to discuss the various resolutions with his/her respective lodge and understand how the lodge wants the delegate to vote on a particular issue. I can’t emphasize enough this is your lodge’s time to officially voice your thoughts and wishes on the future of the Third District! Please, try to take advantage of this opportunity. It only happens once every two years. After the convention is over, each delegate should report back to his or her respective lodge with a summary of the important decisions made at the District Lodge meeting. The delegate should also announce the new officers and present any other items of interest or news that the lodge may want to know more about. Yes, there is a serious tone to this letter because the business of running a District is serious. We have so much fun together at our socials that it is easy to forget that we are more than a social organization. It is time to really get down to business. Jeg ønsker dere alt godt, Mary Charitable Trust - Kathy Dollymore - Counselor Michael Kilby has said "Your wealth isn't measured by the cash on hand, it's by the hand you give to those in need. The little things you do could have a big impact in someone's life." You can make a difference in our Third District by remembering our Brothers and Sisters of the 3D in your estate planning. Planned giving allows you to achieve a number of goals simultaneously through a variety of deferred giving arrangements. You can meet your current needs and make provisions for your family members, while also minimizing your estate's tax burden. You can make a future commitment to the Charitable Trust without losing access to your assets in the present. Ultimately, planned giving can provide you with the most of your assets, both now and in the future. The most common form of planned giving is a bequest from a donor's will. A bequest is simple to implement and offers you flexibility in your planning. Bequests can take several forms, usually designating a specific property, amount of money or percent of your estate that you want the Third District Charitable Trust to receive. Charitable gifts made through a will are fully tax deductible; no federal estate tax or state inheritance tax applies to such gifts. You will be assisting our own Third District members who, due to age, infirmities or circumstances, have fallen on hard times. Never underestimate the difference You can make in the lives of others. Step forward, reach out and help. To those who have reached out to help our members the trustees of the Third District Charitable Trust appreciate your contributions. Please consider your contribution by using the form listed at the 3dwebsite. http://3dsofn.org/charitable-trust/ Kathy Dollymore, 1015 Edgerton Rd, Secane, Pa 19018, 610-626-2260, [email protected], 3D Counselor State of LOV – Roy Berntsen - LOV Chair 2 The holidays are upon us and the attendance in LOV is down. We need to concentrate on the membership and the organizations to come back. We are getting the former family reunions and we have ideas in the works for next year. We do have more open weekends than I would like. Of course, we are only open for 10 months and I know it takes longer than that to convince everyone we are open. Now with the Facebook page and the web site active, the word should spread more quickly. The LOV Board is very grateful for all of those who have come to share good times at LOV and we look forward to seeing you again. Barbara and I have visited 19 lodges last year and ventured to LOV at least once every month getting things done. It was really nice to reach out to the members. Lov provides a fun opportunity way to meet those across the district. We enjoy attending our own lodge weekends but think about joining another lodge, work weekend, or event weekend. This was how I have met and became good friends, who have become more than acquaintances, with members across the district. Maureen Cooper, Billy Karpack’s girlfriend, has been elected to be our Facebook administrator. She has been updating the page and it looks great. Please visit our page. You will be glad you did. Ron Martinsen has been doing a terrific job updating our LOV site in the Third District web site. I along with the LOV Board appreciate and thank them very much for the work they are doing for the benefit of LOV. Zone 1 held their second Viking Auction to raise funds for LOV and for 3D Ltd. Karen Olsen-Helmold “the Fundraising Femme Fatale” did it again. She chaired the committee and had 119 regular baskets, over 40 premium baskets collected and a 50/50. There were over 110 people in attendance and raised $3,709.50 half going to both LOV and to 3D Ltd. The committee deserves a great big hug and applause for all the work they did. We have not made a profit at LOV yet, but, we are working towards that goal. We ask each member to advertise for us and spread the word, we are open so come to enjoy some time away. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me or any member of the LOV Board. We have a golf weekend coming up in May (the weekend after the parade) so please join us. You do not have to play golf, just be a person who is planning to have a fun time. The golfers will golf and the non-golfers will plan different venues. We may go on a car drive to a near-by festival, or we have gone to the Frog Farm – where there are not frogs, or even just relax or reading a book or socialize. You can be as adventurous as your imagination will take you. Come on up, visit LOV for a weekend and take a look, you will not be sorry.

The “Grunnlov” is a document that includes modern democracy, law and human rights, such as freedom of speech and gender equality. The constitution declared that Norway was an independent kingdom in order to try to avoid being ceded to Sweden after Denmark’s defeat in the Napoleonic Wars. King Karl Johan banned any celebrations of the Constitution’s signing until 1833 when an official celebration was held near the monument of former government minister Christian Krohg. He dedicated his political career to curbing the King’s personal power. The main speaker at the event was Henrik Wergeland. The first Children’s Parade took place in Christiana in 1864, it consisted of boys only and was formed by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson.

  • Enslige Asylbarn Og Historiens Tvetydighet1
    Barn nr. 3-4 2007:41–58, ISSN 0800–1669 © 2007 Norsk senter for barneforskning Enslige asylbarn og historiens tvetydighet1 Ketil Eide Sammendrag Denne artikkelen aktualiserer hvilke samfunnsmessige og omsorgspolitiske dilemmaer som oppstår i det norske samfunnet når det ankommer barn som er uten sine foreldres nære om- sorg og beskyttelse – barn som har en annerledes kulturell og etnisk bakgrunn, og som er flyktninger fra samfunn preget av væpnede konflikter eller annen organisert vold. Artikkelen fokuserer på hvordan samfunnet har oppfattet disse barnas situasjon på ulike tidspunkt og under ulike historiske omstendigheter, og hvilken praksis som har blitt utøvet når det gjelder mottak og omsorg. Den aktuelle historiske perioden er fra 1938 og fram mot år 2000. Utval- get består av fire grupper av flyktningbarn som kom til Norge uten sine foreldre.2 Disse fire utvalgene er jødiske barn som ankom 1938–39, ungarske barn som kom i 1956, tibetanske barn som kom i 1964, og enslige mindreårige flyktninger med ulik etnisk bakgrunn som kom i perioden 1989–92.3 1 Denne artikkelen bygger på avhandlingen: Tvetydige barn. Om barnemigranter i et historisk komparativt perspektiv. Universitetet i Bergen/IMER (Eide 2005). 2 Datamaterialet består av historiske dokumenter og 34 intervjuer med representanter fra de fire utvalgene, i tillegg til 19 intervjuer av hjelpere og beslutningstakere. Intervjuene er fore- tatt i perioden 1999–2002. De ulike utvalgene er ikke kronologisk framstilt i denne artikke- len, og de er også ulikt vektlagt i framstillingen. Dette er bevisst gjort uti fra hvilken tematikk som artikkelen aktualiserer. For mer detaljer om de fire utvalgene og metodisk tilnærming vises til avhandling (Eide 2005).

  • 6 CASE TWO: Reversals of Body-Law in Norway: Birth Control and Abortion
    6 CASE TWO: Reversals of Body-Law in Norway: Birth Control and Abortion 6.1 Introduction: Same Issues, Different Direction, Different Result Both the United States and Norway underwent social movements that advocated for the right to birth control and to have an abortion within certain parameters; but those paths took different forms and eventually led to significant differences. Effectively, the Storting became the arena in which the debate on these measures took place in Norway. In America, reformers worked at both the state and federal levels within their individual state legislatures, all the while attempting various arguments at the Supreme Court level. In contrast to the American case law resulting from the facts in Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965), the Norwegian Storting had, at various times, passed laws on birth control and abortion from the late 1950s to 1978, in which accommodations on the issues had been reached and legally formalized within that body. But in 1978, the new Norwegian law was the result of a legislative consensus which itself was based on a larger socio-political upheaval. Norwegian women had tried for as long as their country had existed to extract the same reproductive rights as their American counterparts had also fought for, working consistently but also unsuc- cessfully on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. At the beginning of the Storting session in 1978, members of the Norwegian Stort- ing who might have happened to read Aftenposten, could have read about protests by both the Christian-based Folkesaksjon (People’s Action Against Abortion, FASA) and the Feminist Movement in Oslo and throughout Norway.914 Segments of the national Lutheran Church (Den Norske Kirke, DNK) in Norway became the leading resisters to social change especially change with regard to the role of women in society and to any changes in sexual norms.

  • An Anti-‐Semitic Slaughter Law? the Origins of the Norwegian
    Andreas Snildal An Anti-Semitic Slaughter Law? The Origins of the Norwegian Prohibition of Jewish Religious Slaughter c. 1890–1930 Dissertation for the Degree of Philosophiae Doctor Faculty of Humanities, University of Oslo 2014 2 Acknowledgements I would like to extend my gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Einhart Lorenz, who first suggested the Norwegian controversy on Jewish religious slaughter as a suiting theme for a doctoral dissertation. Without his support and guidance, the present dissertation could not have been written. I also thank Lars Lien of the Center for Studies of the Holocaust and Religious Minorities, Oslo, for generously sharing with me some of the source material collected in connection with his own doctoral work. The Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History has offered me excellent working conditions for three years, and I would thank in particular Professor Gro Hagemann for encouragement and not least for thought-provoking thesis seminars. A highlight in this respect was the seminar that she arranged at the Centre Franco-Norvégien en Sciences Sociales et Humaines in Paris in September 2012. I would also like to thank the Centre and its staff for having hosted me on other occasions. Fellow doctoral candidates at the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History have made these past three years both socially and scholarly stimulating. In this regard, I am indebted particularly to Chalak Kaveh and Margaretha Adriana van Es, whose comments on my drafts have been of great help. ‘Extra- curricular’ projects conducted together with friends and former colleagues Ernst Hugo Bjerke and Tor Ivar Hansen have been welcome diversions from dissertation work.
