Sweden Reels From Tsunami Disaster
Swedish tourists in Phuket wait to take a flight back home Instead of a spectacular fireworks display, distraught Swedes ushered in the new year with a national day of mourning and candle-lit vigils.

Thai rescue workers carry a body from the beach in Khao Lak
Around 20,000 Swedes were on holiday in Thailand When The Indian Ocean tsunami struck on Dec. 26, 2004. With over 1,000 feared casualties, Sweden May be the European country worst hit by the disaster.
On Sunday, the Swedish State Secretary Hans Dahlgren revised down wards the figure from an initial total of 3,686 Swedes missing in the Region Affected by the Tsunami, to 2,915. Ongoing double-checks of reports about Swedes believed missing had enabled Authorities to shorten the list by over 20 percent, Dahlgren said.
The government overpriced revised the confirmed death toll to 52 Swedes, from 59 breading, but reiterated That it was expected to rise.
National trauma
There remains little doubt that the South Asian tragedy HAS turned into a national trauma for the Scandinavian country of nine million.


Swedish Prime Minister Goran Persson
Last week Prime Minister Goran Persson attempted to brace his country, unused to Such large-scale loss of lives, for the worst.
"It's a catastrophe of enormous dimensions, the worst in our times. The number of injured and dead will Rise Dramatically," Persson warned. "We must rally together and support eachother. This will Affect Our Lives for a longtime to come."
Coffins are scheduled to begin arriving this week as many of the Recovered bodies still await DNA analysis for identification.
Harrowing Experiences

Swedish tourists line up to check in for a flight home at Phuket International Airport 
Meanwhile, hundreds of stunned and skimpily-clad Swedish holidaymakers have been arriving daily in airports around Sweden. Most of them are still in shock and traumatized as They try to come to grips with the disaster that many only narrowly survived.
One of them, Daniel Haag, who landed at Stockholm's Arlanda airport, recalled the first moments When tragedy struck.
"I woke up just as my hotel room filled with water," Hague said. "I was in the water for almost a minute before I came up again. I managed to catch on to the trunk of a car that was floating in the debris and heave myself up, "he said." And then I ran for my life. "
The extraordinarily high number of Swedish tourists in Thailand is blamed on the weather, with many wishing to leave the Nordic realms to escape the dark winter cold for sunnier locations.
In total, some 4,500 people from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland are missing.
Search for the missing
However, the search for the missing HAS BEEN hampered by the widespread destruction wrought by the tidal waves in the region.
Even as the mass graves are dug into the face of the fast-decomposing corpses, Officials Warn That All the bodies of the tourists May never be Recovered Because many Could be washed out to sea.
On Sunday, Persson's government pushed for another search of the Andaman Sea coastline by Thai and Japanese navy vessels.



A Thai elephant clears debris near Bang Nieng beach in Khao Lak, Thailand
Elephants have joined the search for bodies in the popular Khao Lak tourist paradise in Thailand, heading into debris-strewn forests with rescue teams to retrieve corpses where heavy earth-moving equipment can not go.
Even as Sweden reels from the disaster, Prime Minister Persson and his center-left Social Democrats face scathing criticism for what many regard as failure to take prompt action Following the tragedy.
Foreign Minister Laila Freivalds and Foreign Aid Minister Carin JÄMTIN have admitted That the government waited too long - four full days after the disaster took place - to send planes outfitted with doctors and medical supplies to the Aid of Citizens stranded in Thailand.
Eight out of ten respondents to an Internet poll of 5,289 people Conducted by Swedish daily Swedish newspaper Swedish newspaper Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet said the government had mismanaged the crisis.
Lack of disaster management?
Also many have drawn parallels to Sweden's last big tragedy 10 years ago, When 551 Swedes died as the "Estonia" ferry sank off the Baltic coast. At the time a committee investigating the Swedish Rescue Efforts after the sinking of the Estonia recommended setting up a national disaster management system.
But, thats still HAS not happened. "I would have hoped That One wouldhave drawn lessons from the Estonia tragedy," said Kent Härstedt, a Social Democratic parliamentarian. "Actually, there Should have been a commissioner for Such catastrophes and an authority That coordinates everything."


Karl Nilsson of Luleå, Sweden, poses with a sigh saying his parent and brothers are missing in Phuket, Thailand.
But Persson's Government HAS rejected the accusations.
"We Decided against a big authority for disaster management Because it would only work in times of crisis and have nothing to do in normal times," Lars Danielsson, a member of Persson's cabinet said.
"Instead, we're relying on existing mechanisms Which are much more Effective," he added. "The only drawback Is that it sometimes takes a little longer Until all Measures are in place."

The December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by an earthquake that is thought to have had the energy of 23,000 Hiroshima-type atomic bombs.
The epicenter of the 9.0 magnitude quake was located in the Indian Ocean near the west coast of Sumatra.
The violent movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates displaced an enormous amount of water, sending powerful shock waves in every direction.
The tectonic plates in this area had been pushing against each other and building pressure for thousands of years. They continue to do so and will likely cause underwater earthquakes and tsunamis in the future.
The rupture was more than 600 miles long, displacing the seafloor by 10 yards horizontally and several yards vertically. As a result, trillions of tons of rock moved, causing the largest magnitude earthquake in 40 years.
Within hours of the earthquake, killer waves radiating from the epicenter slammed into the coastlines of 11 countries, damaging countries from east Africa to Thailand.
A tsunami is a series of waves - the first wave may not be the most dangerous. A tsunami “wave train” may come in surges five minutes to an hour apart. The cycle is marked by the repeated retreat and advance of the ocean.
Despite a lag of up to several hours between the earthquake and the impact of the tsunami, nearly all of the victims were taken completely by surprise because there were no tsunami warning systems in place.
The Indian Ocean tsunami traveled as far as 3,000 miles to Africa and still arrived with sufficient force to kill people and destroy property.
Many people in Indonesia reported that they saw animals fleeing for high ground minutes before the tsunami arrived – very few animal bodies were found afterward.
The tsunami resulted in at least 227,898 fatalities.

Arcadia Lodge and Resort, Marcell-Bigfork Minnesota

Big Turtle Lake, Arcadia Lodge, Marcell, MN
about 1950

History of Arcadia

The history of Arcadia dates back to 1922 when a group of doctors from Missouri came up with an idea for a summer community they named Arcadia Park.  After purchasing a large tract of land on Big Turtle Lake, the main lodge was built and individual parcels were sold off to people who built their private summer homes.  Although these summer homes were privately owned, many services were obtained from the main lodge, including electricity, water, meals and other basic necessities.  The term "lights out" had real meaning for these early residents, as electricity was then obtained from a generator built into the side of the hill near the store.  The sound of this generator vibrated across the lake and 10 p.m. became the agreed upon quite hour.  The cave where this generator sat still exists along with the water pipe which extends into the lake from which they once drew water.  Today, water and care taking services are still supplied to other homes in the area.

The original complex included a laundry, icehouse, nine hole golf course, an archery range and in-house gambling.  A recent dinner guest to Arcadia Lodge told the owners that his boyhood job was hauling blocks of ice to the residents from the sawdust icehouse every morning.

The summer residents were called to dinner with an old iron bell that could be heard clear across the lake.  The bell's pealing signaled the beginning of "cocktail hour" and soon one could see residents and visitors dressed in evening wear walking down the road to the lodge.  

Cocktails were served in what is today the dining room.  Meals were served in what is now the game room and several of the original tables and chairs are still in use today. 

The Library housed the roulette wheels and other games of chance.  It is said that the local sheriff of that time was paid well to forewarn of any raids by government officials.  What is now called the Snow Lodge, built in 1928, housed the office and general store. 

There are many stories about gangsters such as Al Capone who stayed at Arcadia. Mr. Capone made Arcadia a favorite stopover on his trips back to Chicago from Canada. One local Marcell resident remembers visiting Arcadia with his father and actually meeting Mr. Capone.

Many collectibles from the early days of Arcadia remain in the lodge today, helping to create a very unique Northwoods atmosphere.  Arcadia is truly the land of "sky-blue waters."  In fact, early Hamm's Beer commercials were filmed here.  (Do you remember the Hamm's Bear?)

Link to Forum - discussion below

NOTE ABOUT THE HAMM'S SIGNS: I got an interesting e-mail from Jack Hartung, from Minnesota: "You ask, 'I wonder where you would go to see a view like that?' I was there last week! Northwoods legend claims those Hamm's photos were shot at the Arcadia resort on the north end of Turtle Lake (located in northern Itasca County, MN). The view is seen in many of the Hamm's commercials (two islands with the small cabin hidden in the pines). A great area and beautiful scenes." 

ADDITIONAL NOTE from Ken Nordlie of Bloomington, Minnesota: "Found your very entertaining and interesting site on a Google search for Hamms Beer Commercial info. I was at a ol' buddy's cabin just three or four doors down from Arcadia Resort on Turtle Lake in northern Minnesota and I can verify that the "Land of Sky Blue Waters" commercials were indeed taken from the point at Arcadia Lodge - a well known spot in the 50s. I'll send along a picture if I can convince my friend to take one on his next trip there. My golf buddy owns Alf Landon's (ever hear that name?) old cabin, and local legend says that Carol Lombard and Clark Gable used to spend time at Arcadia Resort."

Deaner Island -- Miami Daily News Tuesday, December 6, 1949

Dr. J. J. Deaner, pioneer Oklahoma dentist and oilman, has died here at the age of 69 after a three-year illness. Deaner had lived in Okmulgee most of the time since coming to Oklahoma in 1905. He practiced dentistry there until 1912 when he became an independent oil operator. In the 1920's he opened the Deaner oil pool in Okfuskee county, and moved to Tulsa in 1935.

Rudy Vallee Sings From the Land of Sky Blue Water 1932

The Theodore Hamm Brewing Company was established in 1865 when Theodore Hamm, a German immigrant, inherited the Excelsior Brewery from his friend and business associate, A. F. Keller. Keller had constructed his brewery over artesian wells in a section of the Phalen Creek valley in St. Paul, Minnesotaknown as Swede Hollow. Hamm hired Christopher Figg to be his masterbrewer, and by the 1880s the Theo. Hamm Brewing Company was reckoned the second largest in Minnesota.

His son, William, and grandson, William Jr., inherited the operation in 1903. During Prohibition, the company survived by producing soft drinks and other food products, enabling it to expand rapidly through acquisitions after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933.

Brewery was built in "Swede Hallow" in St. Paul

Big Things to See in Minnesota: Monumental Roadside Postcards

Minnesota is home to the the grandaddy of giant roadside monuments. Bemidji's Paul Bunyan was built in 1937 for a winter carnival and inspired other towns to build their own larger than lifesize sculptures to promote their areas.

I haven't actually visited these places, but I have been collecting this type of postcard for more than twenty years. My collection started when I read a Minneapolis newspaper article about these roadside attractions. I subsequently bought Karal Ann Marling's book The Colossus of Roads(1984) and later Monumental Minnesota (1992) by Moira F. Harris. Both of these books have good background information for anyone interested in the subject.

The pictures on these postcards are mainly 25 to 55 years old. If you are interested in visiting any of these attractions, you will need more up-to-date information. There are several recent guidebooks available. A good list, pictures, and a map are on the web at The Big Stuff Project Blog. There is also some information at Roadside America and Minnesota Historical Society.
