Author talk to address cod and other Norwegian topics

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Eric Dregni, author of “In Cod We Trust: Living the Norwegian Dream,” will speak at the Chanhassen Library April 18.

Eric Dregni, author of “In Cod We Trust: Living the Nor-wegian Dream,” will be speak-ing about his book and his time living in Norway at 1 p.m. Satur-day, April 18, at the Chanhassen Library.

Dregni is also the author of “Scooter’s” and “Minnesota Marvels: Roadside Attractions in the Land of Lakes,” and he teaches at Concordia College.

“In Cod We Trust: Living the Norwegian Dream” manages to be both witty and philosophical, as Dregni describes learning about the country that his great grandfather left more than 100 years ago.

He describes Jante’s Law, the self effacing unwritten social code that most Norwegians fol-low, and how he learned to fi t into it. He also has some hair-raising adventures, like trying to control a baby sled (actually a “spark” with his baby in it) on a steep icy sidewalk. Dealing with the long months of darkness and a baby with colic is one of the many tribulations that Eric and Katy face, with the help of Norwegian friends. Their experiences vacationing in a primitive hytte on the shores of the Lofoten islands, visiting above the Arctic Circle, and cross-country skiing are vividly described.

Dregni’s visit is sponsored by the Friends of the Chanhassen Library.

Great Decisions Discus-sion, 3 p.m. Saturday, April 18: U.S. and Rising Powers; Speaker: Dr. Norma Noonan.

Since the end of the cold war, the United States has emerged as the world’s predominant power. However, in the 21st cen-tury some rapidly developing countries have become increas-ingly infl uential. Who are these “rising powers?” Will their emergence change the global balance of power? How will the U.S. react? The Friends of the Chanhassen Library sponsor the Great Decisions Discussions that are organized nationally by the Foreign Policy Association and locally by the Minnesota International Center.

Reviews“Beyond Fossil Fools: The

Roadmap to Energy Indepen-dence by 2040,” by Joseph M. Shuster.

Shuster has created a very readable book about alternative sources of energy, covering fi rst the problems with fossil fuels, then the possible solutions: solar, wind, biofuels, hydroelec-tric, geothermal, nuclear, water and hydrogen. I especially liked the chapter on wind energy with Chaska talking about erecting a windmill.

Carver County has orga-nized a special Earth Day event at the Minnesota Land-scape Arboretum at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 22, featur-ing Shuster presenting “From Energy Foolishness to Energy Independence.” Shuster will tell us his ideas on how to steer the United States and the world away from fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal by the year 2040. Shuster is a chemi-cal engineer with more than 50 years of experience, and a business man who has founded or co-founded eight companies. He has testifi ed before Congress and the Argonne National Labo-ratory. He recently spoke to a standing-room-only crowd of more than 500 people at the Uni-versity of Minnesota Institute of Technology.

There is no charge for ad-mittance to the Arboretum or attendance at the event. Space is limited and prior registra-tion is required. You can reg-ister on the Arboretum’s web site: http://www.arboretum.

umn/exhibitsandevents.aspx. Phone registration is available by calling Carver County En-vironmental Services at (952) 361-1800.

Carver County and other sponsors do not necessarily endorse Shuster’s views or the information contained in his book. The event is organized and sponsored as a means of stimulating and fostering local discussion of an issue that obvi-ously affects every resident and business in Carver County.

Kovak Mystery,” by Susan Rogers Cooper. A new book in one of my favorite series. Set in Oklahoma.

“Batter off Dead,” by Tamar Myers. A pregnant Magdalena Yoder helps solve death by pan-cake at a church breakfast.

“Fed Up” by Jessica Co-nant-Park and Susan Conant. Chloe Carter helps solve the murder of the sudden death connected with her boyfriend’s new reality TV series, cooking gourmet meals for random gro-cery shoppers.

“Shanghai Moon: A Lydia Chin/ Bill Smith Novel,” by S.J. Rozan. P.I. Lydia Chin is working with her old mentor Joel helping to recover a cache of jewelry stolen during the Holocaust, when Joel turns up dead and her old partner Bill Smith reappears.
