Though, there should never be an election referred to as “off-year,” never has there been a “low profile” election with more consequences facing Pennsylvania voters as this fall’s. The country is watching.
Pennsylvania is one of eight states that elect judges and then gets the opportunity to fire them 10 years later, known as YES/NO retention elections. Democrats hold a 5-2 advantage on the state Supreme Court, but three Democratic justices, Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty and David Wecht are up for retention, as is Alice Dubow Beck for Superior Court and Michael Wojcik for Commonwealth Court, also statewide offices...Jeffrey Yass, the richest man in Pennsylvania and other Republican organizations are investing financially, spreading misinformation and urging a No vote on the Supreme Court justices.
Find out about these races and the other ones on the ballot this fall in my voter's guide. In-person Election Day is Nov. 4.

Repost: A suburban Philadelphia group, IK Start USA, has invested in the Norwegian professional soccer program, IK Start, in Kristiansand, Norway, that was in financial crisis. The Start men, which began play in 1905, are in second place in the second tier of Norwegian soccer, looking to get promoted to Eliteserien. The women, in their third of year of play, are in 8th place in 1st Division after being promoted the last two seasons from the 3rd and 2nd Divisions. The investors do not only want to restore Start to prominence in Norway, but build up a fanbase in the United States. Read of their plans, how NorCham Philly is helping out, the history and culture of Start and the fan experience in The Norwegian American.

ATTEND Virtual NW Philly Candidates Forum Co-Sponsored by Mt. Airy Dems and Vote the Ridge APRIL 3RD AND APRIL 7

Donald Trump was not elected because of overwhelming support*; he won because too many of us chose not to vote**. As a result, we bear daily witness to Donald Trump’s rampage, keeping his promises, undermining our democracy, and mortgaging our grandchildren’s future to the whims of global oligarchs. The fault lies with those among us who believe the myth their votes do not matter, others who chose not to vote as a protest, and the Republicans' relentless campaign to limit the right to vote.
Your vote is the most essential protest you can lodge. We need to vote at every opportunity. Millions of protesters marching to the polls to vote makes a powerful statement and the difference that counts.
Get started with this Spring Primary - plan to vote on May 20, 2025

Borne out of their frustration that apps for people with special needs were "downright useless," a Norwegian couple, Marius and Jeanine Mathisen set about developing their own, which would help them communicate with their daughter, who is diagnosed as “moderately mentally impaired” and nonverbal, and for caregivers to communicate better with each other. The groundbreaking app, Pletly Pal, is available in Apple and Google Play stores and American operations are in Philadelphia.

Pletly means complete. "So many aspects of care is just focused on keeping them alive,” said Marius. “That’s super important of course. Pletly Pal is about involving the circle of care. Everybody can be involved: grandparents, occupational doctors, speech therapists, special education teachers, social workers, direct support staff, group homes, everybody. So, making the care circle complete.”

Pletly is an online app created in Norway for children with special needs, now available in the United States.

One of the favorite international track and field meets of the Diamond League summer season is the Bislett Games in Oslo. Once again, records were set, including Norway's 22-year old Jakob Ingebritsen setting the European record in the 1,500m, some calling the race "one for the ages." This year's Bislett Games are being hailed as the best ever.

Torunn Tronsvang, founder of Up Norway, has developed a novel idea for a travel agency.

Tronsvang says, “I set out to create a company designed to fulfill the most thoughtful travelers’ interest in experiences off the beaten path—and closer to heart in terms of authenticity, involvement, and connection. I hoped to do so while creating better practices in ecotourism and responsible social impact. The more I looked at the challenges of traveling in responsible ways, the more I realized those I hoped to serve were already passionate about being part of a culture of global solutions.

“To my delight, it was clear that many of those answers could be found and exemplified in our Norwegian lifestyle. By recognizing this new traveler, less interested in jockeying for positions in line at crowded destinations, I knew I could present an authentic culture at its best...“We don’t want people to travel with us and just touch the surface. We want them to really get immersed so they gain new knowledge. We need to facilitate cross-cultural conversations that are meaningful."

Up Norway can book you on one of their packages or tailor make one according to your interests. Check them out in the cover story of The Norwegian American Travel issue.

Jessie Diggins is the best American women's cross-country skier of all time. In 2018, she raced the second leg of the two-leg team sprint with Kikkan Randall at the 2018 Winter Olympics and they became the first Americans-male or female- to win a gold medal in cross-country skiing. In 2021, she became the first American to win a season World Cup. Though not Norwegian, the Afton, Minn. native received an award from Norway House in Minneapolis for embodying certain characteristics. In this exclusive interview, the bubbly Diggins discusses growing up in Minnesota, her career, her relationships with the Norwegian team, and her battle with bulimia.
