President’s Message
Come one, come all to our new meeting site! The contract has been signed
with Ascension Lutheran Church, and all of our belongings have been sorted,
packed and moved to the church. ALC is very much looking forward to our
utilizing the church for our meetings and socials. Once they have completed
construction of some storage closets in the fellowship hall, we will be able to
rearrange our belongings and purchase a permanent storage space for the rest
of our things.
We have had to move our meetings to the second Monday of the month be-
cause of a conflict with another group who meets at ALC on the first Mon-
day. So our first lodge meeting will be on Monday, February 8 at 7:00 p.m.
Please bear with us as we get used to our new meeting space, and learn
where everything is located. The fellowship hall is large enough to accom-
modate us very adequately, and we will have a new library room, too. Our
first social will be on Saturday, February 20. We look forward to celebrating
our move at that time.
The calender for the year has been changed up a bit, also. We will resume
having lodge meetings every month, as we used to do. And we will have 6
socials for the year. Our pool of members who are able to assist with our so-
cials has been getting smaller and smaller. Hence, the need to concentrate our
socials to the months for which we have spe-
cial celebrations, anniversary, syttende mai,
jultrefest, etc. As the church is welcoming us
with open arms, we will have opportunities to
hold special events, if the need arises.
Please see the notice inside of this newsletter
for the upcoming calendar (pg. 8). And I look
forward to seeing you on February 8 for our
first lodge meeting of the year.
Vennlig hilsen, Susan Cody

LOV NOTES
January 2016
Next Meeting: February 6, 2016 at 9:00am. Denny’s
Restaurant in Fletcher Hills
Hostesses: Jean Shogren & Linda Rawlinson
The Ladies of Valhall for many years have traditionally cel-
ebrated the beginning of the Christmas season with a lunch-
eon that we invited lodge members, relatives and friends to
share with us. Over the years the entertainment took on
many different themes. A few that come to my mind in-
cluded: members doll collections, Norwegian silver collec-
tions, history of Christmas songs, San Diego Mannskor and
Singing Sisters serenaded us, Geir from Lilia perfume
charmed us and more recently readings from Ibsen plays.
I proposed that our luncheon be held at a member’s private
home this year instead of a hotel. Anne Hoidal took on the
challenge and provided her home and a menu that one
might experience during a holiday visit to Norway. Due to
the number of guests Anne could comfortable seat at a sit
down affair, we decided to break with tradition and invite
only LOV members. Anne Charlotte Harvey entertained us
with a humorous 1910 telephone conversation between two
Minnesota Norwegian ladies. Anita Reith was surprised to
win a Norwegian hand carved figure after she found an
almond in her rice cream dessert.
During our first meeting in January, after a review of our
2015 activities, Anne Hoidal provided us with a presenta-
tion on the challenges of translating Norwegian literature.
Four poems were read, first in Norwegian by Anne and then
in English by Tam. The four selections were from Paul-
Helge Haugen’s 1979 Stone Fences.
Haugen is considered to be one of Norway’s foremost
poets. The collection of poems express his thoughts on
coming of age in postwar Norway. The English translation
was published by William Mishler & Rodger Greenwald
who won a prize for translation of poetry in 1986. Though
Haugen expresses experiences taking place in Norway,
those of us who came of age here in America could also
relate to the poems read: Home From America, The Radio
and When We Were Fourteen.
His opening poem, Stone Fences, gives one food for
thought about how the toil of removing stones on farms be-
came fences leaving history’s handwriting on the land.
Today mankind’s mark on earth will continue to leave its
handwriting on the land for future generations.
Dale Roybal, LOV President
Anne Hoidal and Tam Stauatland presented comparative
readings of Norwegian literary works, read in Norwegian
and then the English translation
Anne Charlotte Harvey entertained us with a humorous
skit at the LOV Christmas party., That’s not a banana,
it’s a phone!

everyone for coming and for their
help setting up the meeting in this
unexpected location.
ADJOURNMENT: The next lodge
social will be February 20, with loca-
tion TBD, the next lodge meeting date
and location TBD. The next board
meeting will be Wednesday, January
20, time and location TBD. Infor-
mation will be shared via email when
dates and location are finalized for
next year.
There were 30 members present and
the lodge meeting was adjourned at
7:35 PM.
Respectfully submitted by:
Janet Weber
Secretary
Valhall Lodge #6-25
CALL TO ORDER: President Susan
Cody called the meeting to order at
6:38 PM. There were 11 board mem-
bers present: they are listed at the end
of the minutes.
The purpose of this meeting was to
discuss a scheduling issue regarding
lodge meeting times at the Ascension
Lutheran Church and to schedule the
actual move. At this point the con-
tract has not been finalized and there
are a few decisions to be made. Rick
Hausvik and Susan Cody will be
meeting with Pastor Karin this
Wednesday to finalize details of the
lease agreement. Lease has not been
signed yet, but the church really wants
the Sons of Norway to use their facili-
ty. It turns out that the first Monday
of the month is not always available
so an alternative would be to meet on
the second Monday of the month in-
stead.
For 2016 there will be 9 meetings on
Monday evenings like the old sched-
ule. They will be in February, March,
April, May, June, September, Octo-
ber, November and December. There
will be 6 socials, in February, March,
May, September, November and De-
cember.
We need to vacate the Mason Lodge
by January 10. We can rent a Pod and
pack our lodge belongings in it, then
the Pod company will move it to the
church where we can unload it. Rent-
al cost is $144.99/month. The cost to
move it is $69.99. Rick proposed
buying a resin shed that we can set up
on the church property. An 8' X 10'
shed costs $699. No decision was
needed at this time about the shed.
A plan was made to start the packing
on Friday, January 8 and continue
Saturday and Sunday. Aprell Bigler
will contact other members about
helping pack up our belongings. Peo-
ple can bring boxes, tape, dollies and
other moving supplies that they might
have. We have accumulated a lot of
stuff over the years and some items
will be donated to charity before the
move. We will not have as much
overall storage space at the new loca-
tion so this is a good opportunity to
go through things.
ADJOURNMENT: Susan thanked us
all for coming and the meeting ad-
journed at 7:14 PM.
The following board members were
present: Susan Cody, Rick Hausvik,
Janet Weber, Steve Rawlinson, Judy
Sawyer, Jean Shogren, Allen Johan-
nesen, Millie Wright, Sven Olsen,
Aprell Bigler and Else Ottesen.

Norway’s Green Ships
Norway aims to have world’s most environmentally
friendly ships. Norway relies on ships as the backbone
of its national and international trade. With a coastline of
15,500 miles (25,000 km), the country also depends on
ferries to shuttle people, vehicles and goods over rivers,
harbors and fjords.
Norway is increasingly looking to greener energy
sources, and over the past two decades has built up a sys-
tem of hydro, solar and wind sources to produce up to
90% of its electricity. Much like the car industry, the
shipping industry faces tough emission regulations. Sim-
ilarly, ship manufacturers are turning toward plug-in hy-
brid technology and ships that run on electricity.
In September 2015, the Green Coastal Shipping Program
was rolled out by the Norwegian government, in con-
junction with Oslo-based company DNV GL and 25 col-
laborators from the Norwegian maritime industry. The
program unveiled five projects in an effort to promote
efficient, green ships, with the goal of having the most
environmentally friendly ships in the world.
Program Director Narve Mjøs says “The pilot projects
include several different ship types, and infrastructure
with an emphasis on alternative fuel concepts. When we
launched the Green Coastal Shipping Program, we said
we wanted to make Norway a world showcase for green
coastal shipping. With these five pioneering pilot pro-
jects we are well on our way.
”The initiative proposes expansion of shore power infra-
structure to support electric-propelled vessels, and to ex-
plore other options such as battery- and LNG (liquid nat-
ural gas)-powered or plug-in hybrid ships. According to
DNV GL, 40 hybrid vessels are on order by Norwegian
shipping companies and an additional 40 plug-in hybrid
ships will be in use within a few years.
“We envision a fleet of offshore vessels, tankers, cargo,
container, bulk and passenger ships, ferries, fishing and
aquaculture vessels, tugs and other coastal vessels, run
entirely or partly using batteries, LNG or other green
fuels,” says Mjøs. “This can contribute to exports of
good, future-oriented and environmentally friendly solu-
tions.
” The first pilot project will be a CargoFerry Plug-in Hy-
brid, a hybrid LNG/battery-propelled container ship for
short ocean voyages. The next will be a battery-powered
coastal shuttle tanker. This will be the first vessel of its
kind to use battery technology. The third project is an
ocean vessel for fishing operations that aims to find a
more energy efficient hybrid system. The fourth project
will aim to convert a cargo carrier into a battery-LNG
hybrid carrier. This may be a more cost-effective option
for small operators.
Lastly, the program seeks to pioneer a green port facility
in Stavanger with a lower carbon footprint through use of
electric cranes and vehicles. Hybrid ships will have the
ability to charge at special dockside stations. Each of
these projects will undertake a cost/benefit analysis to
weigh the environmental benefits against the price tag of
the conversions and development. Article from SON

• Freshly chopped parsley to garnish
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Brown batches of meat in a casserole pot with melt-
ed butter. Add meat, chopped vegetables and chick-
en stock to the pot.
Season as desired with salt and pepper and bring to
a boil. Skim top of stew if needed. Cover with a
tight fitting lid and simmer for 2½ hours.
Stir carefully so that vegetables do not break down
and become mushy. Taste and adjust seasoning as
needed.
If stew is too dense, thin with stock or water.
Serve in bowls with a sprinkle of parsley and your
favorite bread.
