March Program: Norway in the Age of Oil

Open Faced Sandwiches The open-face sandwich has a long tradition in Norway. A slice of freshly cut bread, thinly spread with butter, forms the basis for artfully arranged toppings and edible garnish. They reflect straightforward Scandinavian sensibilities, using simple, honest, local food attractively presented with little waste. Every element of the sandwich should be fresh. The ingredients should complement one another with respect both to taste and appearance From National Public Radio’s Kitchen Window

What is Happening in March? By Ed Bergo, President Desert Fjord will meet on Sunday, March 10th at 2 PM at the Masonic Lodge in Scottsdale. The recent member survey clearly indicated that Sunday afternoons would be very appealing to members. During March, April and June, we will have our meetings on the second Sunday of each month. The Board of Directors also recognizes that it may take a few months for people to become familiar with this change. Please let us know how you feel about meeting on Sundays. The March meeting will begin with coffee and cold drinks. A new feature this month is KIDS CORNER from 2-3 p.m. Pick up some lemonade and head to the kids table where we will have comic books about oil (for kids only) sent to us from the California State Department of Conservation. Yes, you can take it home to keep! Even though it is about California oil, it will help you understand the importance of the Norwegian oil discovery. Adults can watch the kids or do your own socializing with a cup of coffee or lemonade or other soft drink. Following this social time, our speaker, Dr. Gunnar Nerheim from the University of Stavanger will talk to us about Norway in the Age of Oil. After his talk and some announcements, we will have a light supper. Starting in 1969, Norway discovered oil in the North Sea, profoundly affecting the economy of the country. According to Wikipedia: “Ekofisk is an oil field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea about 200 miles (320 km) southwest of Stavanger. Discovered in 1969 by Phillips Petroleum Company, it remains one of the most important oil fields in the North Sea. In 1971, Phillips started producing directly to tankers from four subsea wells. Oil production is planned to continue until at least 2050.” Ed

GUNNAR NERHEIM ,UNIVERSITY OF STAVANGER The University of Stavanger was established in 2005. It has about 9 000 students and 1200 administration, faculty and service staff.

COME EXPLORE WITH ME

Membership Matters

By Elizabeth Lenci - Downs

FOR THAT READING SKILL SOURCE: THE VIKING PASSAGE TO AMERICA.

"Voyage of Wavecleaver" newsletters are the perfect materials to 'Spark' that Cultural Skill you are beginning. "Voyage of Wavecleaver" is the title given to a search for evidence of Norsemen in North America. The resulting newsletters of discovery are fascinating reading, significant and dramatic, a search that found such evidence of sites in New England. Think Cape Cod! From early voyages to Thorfinn Karlsefni, circa 1005, the question no longer is whether Norsemen discovered North America but rather how far south they explored, even settled, what impact the Norse had on Native Americans and later explorers including Columbus. Evidence is revising the history of the discovery of America, giving due credit to the Nordic people who main-tained a gateway between Europe and North America. One member of the "Voyage of Wavecleaver" team is a former president of Desert Fjord Lodge - Who is he? Have you met him? Is an interview possible? WHAT AN EXCITING START TO A CULTURAL SKILL! And everything you need is in our Library. Until next time . . . Come explore with me.

By Floyd Downs, Membership Secretary

Two ways to share in fostering the out-reach mission of Desert Fjord Lodge is by bringing an offering to our Food Bank and used postage stamps to Tubfrim(see note elsewhere) The importance of Tubfrim is highlighted by noting that SON sent over 1770 lbs. of stamps to Tubfrim in 2012, used to support SON programs for children with disabilities or special needs. Thor Lodge of Salem, Oregon won the drawing of contributor’s postcards worth up to $1000 on a ticket to Norway. Sadly I must once again report the passing of a long time th member, Leo Langland on February 20 . An obituary notice with information about the memorial service to be th held March 9 appears elsewhere in this issue. You are reminded that our Membership Retention Fund (MRF) can assist any member having difficulty in meeting his/her SofN dues renewal. All such requests or referrals are strictly private and anonymous as are the names of those who volunteer the funds that support the MRF. I can be contacted in person during a meeting, by phone (480-816-3875), or [email protected]

Elizabeth Missing Books Please check for these books among your things at home. They have been missing from our library since 2011. We’d like to be able to issue them again to someone else!

The Troll Oil Platform: A Condeep Structure

MISCELLANEOUS

From Wikipedia

The History Channel will be starting their first scripted series and it is titled “Vikings”. The first show is Sunday, 3 March.

Journey to Scandinavia’s North Cape 17-Day Tour – June 16 to July 2

Condeep (abbr. concrete deep water structure) refers to a make of gravity base structure for oil platforms developed by engineer Olav Mo in Hoeyer-Ellefsen and fabricated by Norwegian Contractors in Stavanger, Norway. A Condeep usually consists of a base of concrete oil storage tanks from which one, three or four concrete shafts rise. The Condeep base always rests on the sea floor, and the shafts rise to about 30 meters above the sea level. The platform deck itself is not a part of the construction. The Condeep is used for a series of production platforms introduced for crude oil and natural gas production in the North Sea and Norwegian continental shelf. Following the success of the concrete oil storage tank on the Ekofisk field, Norwegian Contractors introduced the Condeep production platform concept in 1973. This gravity base structure for platform was unique in that it was built from reinforced concrete instead of steel, which was the norm up to that point. The platform was purpose made for the heavy weather conditions and the great water depths found in the North Sea. The Condeep has the advantage that it allows for storage of oil at sea in its own construction. It further allows for equipment installation in the hollow legs well protected from the sea. One of the challenges with the steel platforms it that it only allows for limited weight on the deck, with a Condeep the weight allowance for production equipment and living quarters is seldom a problem.

IN MEMORIAM Leo Langland passed away on February 20th. Leo was born October 16, 1934. He joined the Sons of Norway in 1997. His wife, Barbara, died earlier. She also was a member of Desert Fjord Lodge. Leo was a frequent contributor to the Heritage and Culture Meeting, most notably, bringing speakers on geology and other science and engineering subjects. Leo helped bring us a video presentation on the construction and installation of the Troll-A oil platform in the North Sea. We will miss seeing Leo wearing his red vest at our meetings. Our condolences go out to his family and friends. The memorial services will be on Saturday March 9 from 2pm-4pm at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church at 3641 N. 56th Street in Phoenix. The church is located on 56th Street just north of Indian School Rd. A reception with small refreshments will follow the service at the church.

Keeping the Spark: A Youth’s Perspective on Learning Norwegian Printed with permission from the Norwegian American Weekly, Feb 22, 2013 Norway is a small country. It is only 148,712 square miles. That may be why Norwegians are so proud of their heritage. It can be hard to hold on to a heritage, though. Families can split, die out, or lose touch with relatives. Many Norwegian Americans are very proud of their heritage, but some might need to be retaught their preconceived notions about Norway. Other families can be aware of their heritage and celebrate it, but lose the beautiful language that is Norwegian. All families and people are different and have different stories to tell. About their lives, about their ancestors, and about their connections to Norway. Anyone can have a reason for learning Norwegian, but one main reason is bringing back a beautiful language and culture to family and friends. At Skogfjorden, bringing back Norwegian heritage and culture to a family or a community is a main reason for coming. People are curious about their heritage and the people around them may know some things about Norway, but Norwegian culture is very different and interesting. Many are curious about their Norwegian culture but don’t really know how to find out more. If they have no one to ask, learning Norwegian is the next best thing. I have a large extended family on my mom’s side that is very Norwegian. We make lefse, celebrate Syttende Mai, have rømmegrøt on Christmas and are very proud of our ancestors and heritage in Norway. We still keep in touch with our relatives in Norway. The odd thing about my family is that no one speaks Norwegian. I am the only person in my family learning Norwegian. Hopefully younger cousins and siblings will see the importance of Norwegian and want to learn as well. I can’t say for sure, though. Everyone thinks differently. For me, Norwegian isn’t something my ancestors were or something my parents tell me you are a percentage of. I am Norwegian. I am every bit as Norwegian as my mom, my grandmom, and my great-great grandfather who came from Norway. It can be hard to keep a heritage alive when not in the homeland of the culture. Heritage can be forgotten but relearned just as easily. All that is needed is a spark. A spark in the heart of someone willing to learn about another culture

and see through

another country’s eyes. To see another’s perspective of the world and learn from it. That person can be you. About the author: Jackie Kjersti Bellefeuille will be a tenth grader next fall at Eden Prairie High School. She enjoys Alpine skiing and is on the Eden Prairie track team. She would like to go into Engineering after high school and college. She is in many clubs which include student council, improvisation, and volunteering. She is very interested in her Norwegian heritage and loves to learn more. This is her fourth year at Skogfjorden
