Halloween has come and gone
along with the goblins and several
others dressing in black! We live in
a part of Beach where there are not
many children but do enjoy the ones
that come.
The combining of sunflowers is
likely the last of the 2007 crop to be
harvested and that will soon be fin-
ished, too. It's been fairly good
combining weather, but the wind on
some days raises the danger of fire
because of the dust from sunflowers
being highly flammable.
Elaine Kremer was in Bismarck
this week where she enjoYed attend-
ing a family reunion and visited
with their children and families,
who live there.
Holger and Marion Johnson
attended the confirmation services
at First Eutheran Church in Beach
on Sunday and the potluck dinner
honoring the four confirmants,
which followed. Linda Stoveland
and Jacob and Sammy also attended
the services.
Tracey Streitz and Linda
Stoveland joined several others
doing inventory at the Cenex Store

Randy and Peggy (Nistler)
Mosset of Bismarck are the proud
parents of a baby boy, born on
Thursday, Nov. 1. He has been
given the name Mason Donald and
joins a big brother. Grandparents
Donald and Marie Nistler left for
Bismarck on Friday and after a
short visit with the Mossets, they
will leave for Yuma, Ariz to spend
the winter.
By the time this column is read
next week, the hunters will be arriv-
ing for the deer season. One morn-
ing, we saw seven deer walking
down the street east of our house.
They are rather hard on apple trees,
etc.
Tact is the ability to stay in the
middle without being caught there.
We've received word that a very
nice contribution was given to the
Sentinel Butte Cemetery
Association. James Sr. and Mac
Muckle donated some of their land
in order to extend the size of the
cemetery. So if you see the
Muckles out and about, be sure to
thank them for their generous
donation.
Don and Rella Abernethy and
their daughter Bobbi Hansen from
Belgrade, Mont returned to the
Abernethy home Friday after Don's
surgery. That evening, Sally

enjoyed the delicious meal were
Don and Rella Abernethy, Burns
Abernethy, Bob and Sally
Abernethy and Bobbi Hansen.
Marvin Hansen arrived after that
evening from Belgrade.
Saturday, Jane Cook and Arlene
Schmeling from Beach manned a
table at the Medora Craft Fair at
the Medora Community Center.
Arlene and Jane are members of
the Friends of the Chateau deMores
and were there to encourage others
to join the "Friends" group. As an
incentive, they were selling bags of
taffy that were made at the taffy
shop in Medora, a couple of water-
color prints from the collection of
the Marquise, Medora de
Vallombrosa, and note cards with a
few of Medora's watercolor scenes
as well.
Sally Abernethy and Carl and
Pat Svensen from Dickinson were
visitors at the Don and Rella
Abernethy home on Saturday.
Jan Johnson, Arlys Flaig and
Judy Johnson were some of the
many visitors at the craft fair in
Medora on Saturday.

Harvey Peterson at the American
Legion Club in Beach.
Bobbi and Mary Hansen left
Sunday to return to their home in
Belgrade, Mont after spending
some time with Bobbi's parents,
Don and Della Abernethy, and
gramp, Burns Abernethy.
Jim and Jan Johnson and Arlys
Flaig attended the Fall Dinner at
the EUB Church on Sunday. Buzz
and Delores Olson, Sue Feldman

Tigen were also at the Fall Dinner.
Loretta Tescher, Don and Kathy
Heise, Kerm Rink, and Jerry Cook
were all Sunday visitors at the
home of Don and Rella Abernethy.
Sally Abernethy, Joedy Bragg
and Don Miller were visitors at
Don and Rella Abernethy's home
on Monday.
Jane and Mary Cook attended
the "Why Catholic" series at the
home of Francis Dietz. At least
nine members were able to join this
small group study Tuesday
evening.
The Sentinel Butte community
and surrounding areas were again
treated by the Olson family mem-
bers with a delicious Halloween
chili/chicken noodle supper.
Among the many who were there
were Jane Cook, her brother Jack
Cook, his son and family, Scott,
Lori and Angelina Cook, Jim and
Marj Wyckoff, Francis Dietz, Jerry
Cook and Kerm Rink. Apologies to
the many that I can't remember or
think of just now, as the turn out
was really good.
SallyAbernethy was a Thursday
morning visitor at the Don and
Rella Abernethy home. Later that
day, Rex and Ann Cook from
Dickinson, Mark Billierfrom
Beach and Chuck White from
Illinois stopped in to visit.
Thursday evening, Sally
Abernethy and Billie Van Horn
brought supper to the Don
Abernethy home. Among those
who were able to enjoy the meal
with Don, Rella, and Burns' were
Bob and Sally Abernethy, Billie
Van Horn, and Jim Cook.
Pastor and Bev Maxted were
evening visitors at the Don and
Rella Abernethy home on
Thursday.
I'd like to wish a special Happy
Birthday to Burns Abernethy who
turned 100 years young, Nov. 4. I
believe there may be an open house
for him the Saturday after
Thanksgiving, but contact Rella to
be sure.
Thought for the week: What you
think of yourself is much more
important than what others think of
you.

If the presidential election
were held today, Hillary
Clinton would get the most
votes from people responding to
the latest Prairie Poll, although
about half said they have not yet
decided.
Voters were asked a series of
questions regarding the 2008 elec-
tion.
Participants were also asked
specifically for their views on vot-
ing for a woman or a minority.
Respondents were asked to
name both the Republican and
Democratic candidate they would
most like to see get a nomination.
Rudy Guilani was the most fre-
quently named Republican, with
16 percent of respondents, fol--
lowed by John McCain, named by
15 percent.
Clinton was the most named candi-
date on the Democratic side, with 24
percent of all respondents naming her,
but 42 percent of those polled said
they were undecided. John Edwards
was the second most frequently
named Democrat at 16 percent.
Of the people polled, 28 percent
said they normally vote
Republican; 28 percent said they
normally vote for Democrats; and
44 percent said they don't identify
with either party. With a woman
and a minority among the favored
candidates for nomination for the
first time, people were asked about
the likelihood they would vote for
either Clinton or Barack Obama.
While Clinton is most often
favored among all the candidates,
there are many - 41 percent - who
said they would never vote for her.
Another 27 percent said they defi-
nitely would vote for her and 32
percent said they were not sure.
More overall respondents were

Clinton was the
most named candi-
date on the Democ-
ratic side, with 24
percent of all
respondents nam-
ing her, but 42 per-
cent of those polled
said they were

unsure about voting for Obama, at
nearly 54 percent. Twenty-four
percent said they definitely would
vote for him and 22 percent said
they would never vote for him
The survey polled people served
by community newspapers in
Garrison, Watford City, Rolla,
Kenmare, New Town, Crosby
Stanley, Carrington, Grafton,
Napoleon, Lake Metigoshe and
Lisbon.
Respondents from the New
Town area were the most undecid-
ed about who should get the
Republican or Democratic presi-
dential nominations.
Watford City had the highest
percentage of people, 56 percent,
who said they could never vote for
Clinton.
Watford City also had the high-
est number of people who said they
could never vote for Obama, at 34
percent. People in Stanley and
Grafton were least likely to say
they could never vote for Obama,
at 14 percent each.
Of the people polled, less than
one percent said they never vote.

Greetings from the residents of
the Golden Valley Manor. Here
are the happenings for the week of
Oct. 25.
Residents took the community
bus downtown so they could do
their weekly shopping." When
they returned, the movie "Ladies
in Lavender" was shown in the
Activity Room. LeRoy Quast was
here to visit his mother, Leone.
Don and Kathy Heise visited
Pete and Mary Wirtzfeld and
Orville Moe in the afternoon.
The Ladies of St. John's
Catholic Church came up on
Friday morning to do the resi-
dents' hair.
Happy birthday-wishes went to
Frieda Feldmann who celebrated
her birthday. Root beer floats
were enjoyed following the noon
meal. Ken Thompson was up to
see his aunt, Dorothy Ingalls.
Agnes Schmeling came up to visit
the residents and brought sugar
cookies for them to enjoy with
their afternoon coffee.
Loretta Wyckoff led exercises
on Saturday morning. Residents
gathered in the Hobby Room for
reading hour in the afternoon.
Tom Buchholz, from East Helena,
Mont visited his mother, Eileen
Buchholz, in the afternoon and
stayed for the weekend. On
Saturday they took a drive up
north. Then on Sunday, Dan,
Lucas, Tom and Eileen took an
extensive drive through the coun-
try. They started going west and
ended down by the river crossing
at Weinreis'. From there they
went to Bowman, back to
Marmarth and ended up at Flying
J for a quick lunch. That evening,
Eileen enjoyed supper with Tom at
the Dan and Jo Buchholz resi-
dence. Tom left on Monday.
Word & Communion was held
in the chapel on Sunday morning.
Frieda Feldmann's family gath-
ered in the Activity Room for a
family birthday celebration.
Rummikub and card games were
played in the afternoon. Dorothy
Riederer celebrated her birthday.
Dinner guests were her son, Gary
Riederer, her daughter, Jean
Hardy and son-in-law, Don Hardy.
Sue Northrup and Tiffany
bought some years back because so
many of members being "old
timers" had several of their dear
ones resting there. About 1 acre is
taken by those buried in years past.
Nonmembers are not taken in that
area. A large portion of the remain-
ing ground is composed of solid
rock. If the cemetery is to be open to
the general public for any length of
time it will soon be filled up. It may
be necessary in the near future to not
allow nonmembers of the Lutheran
Church to be buried in the cemetery
for this reason. Belfield ought to
find suitable ground to start a gener-
al public cemetery. (The Catholic
Cemetery was then located just east
of the Lutheran Cemetery.)
The Fryburg Pioneer newspaper
was born on Oct. 10, 1913.
The Imperial Hotel lease was
sold by W. A. Mosher to Ed.
Ziebarth and Ted Barrow. Mosher is
to travel for a large eastern woolen
mill.
The fire hall now has a telephone
where Marshal Boltz has a place to
be called.
While heating a couple of solder-
ing irons at Sorenson Hdwe Alfred
Sorenson received severe burns to
his hand from an explosion of the
gas torch. The whole top blew off
and while the flames were spurting
out in every direction, Alfred picked
it up and hurled it through the win-
dow.
October 1913: L.O. Anderson
and PJ. Peterson are to open a store
in Gorham.
A man called AJ. Good, a vice
preacher, is said to be not "good" by
the Minneapolis police after
Marshal Boltz checked up on him.
Good writes Rev. Thorpe and says
he is good, and Minneapolis police
say he still isn't. And so it goes.
L.E. Newton has a new barn
going up.
Fourty-eight head of cattle are
stolen near Bowman by a middle-
aged Russian and a young
Norwegian but their trail seemed
lost near Belfield. N.B. Nelson, ex-
marshal, came across them and noti-
fied authorities who came and found
them and forced entry into a shack
where the two men were sleeping.
The Norwegian made no resistance
to arrest but the Russian tried to
escape even though he was hand-
cuffed. The sheriffs were obliged to
shoot, a bullet striking him in the
wrist.
There is an immense coal
deposit at the Paul Gross mine just
northeast of Belfield. The average
depth is 11 feet and there is enough
coal to last Belfield for 120 years.
There is also an excellent stream of
water from the mine.
Belfield has two local cemeter-
ies, Catholic and Lutheran. The
town has no cemetery of its own.
The Lutheran cemetery is 2 ? acres
McCollan visited Eleanor Clarin.
On Monday morning, Ardyn
Mattson led Bible Study for the

Exercises were led by Mary on
Tuesday morning. Ella Schaal
celebrated her birthday. Dinner
guests to help celebrate the day
with Ella were Dan and Sharen
Schaal, Kathy Hollar and Ju|ie
Hemfne.
Mary fried fresh donuts for the
residents to have with their coffee.
Pastor Hojnacki was here in the
evening to hold devotions in the
chapel.Gloria Ueckert was the
pianist.
Steve Raisler, the Manor's
right-hand-all-around-good-guy,
celebrated his (55th) birthday on
Tuesday. Ima and the residents
got to spend the morning with
Steve and then in the evening, his
family and close friends celebrat-
ed with Steve at the Legion Club.
With a little help from his friends,
Steve celebrated in style.
The Wednesday Manor Makers
made tin can pumpkin luminaries
and tags for the caramel popcorn
they handed out to the trick-or-
treaters that evening. Mardelle
Helm had dinner with her mother,
Eleanor Michels and Florence
Miske. In the afternoon, the
Manor Makers bagged up the
homemade caramel corn they
made. Eleanor Michaels daughter,
Mardelle Helm, joined the group;
she is here fi'om Anamoose, N.D
and is visiting her mother for the
week. In the afternoon we had
special little people visit the resi-
dents at 3 p.m. They were from
Angie Dietz's Daycare. The resi-
dents were ready with treats in
hand. Linda dressed up as a jester
to greet them. They all left very
happy! Roy and Ruth Houck from
Wibaux visited the Manor. Ardis
Stedman was also a visitor.
