A Little in English
Stiff Sentences for Munch Robbers

"We must react strongly to such a serious offense.
The pictures have a value of 750 million kroner,
and are two of the cornerstones of Munch's
production," said Judge Dag Stousland of
Borgating district court.

Petter Tharaldsen, Bjørn Hoen and Stian Skjold
were found guilty for the Munch robbery on
August 22nd, 2004. The three were sentenced to
prison for periods from five and a half years to
nine and a half years. They are also sentenced to
pay in total 1,570,000 kroner to the city of Oslo.

The sentences are slightly milder than the
prosecution requested. District Attorney Elisabeth
Ramstad thought Bjørn Hoen was the organizer of
the armed robbery and asked the court to
imprison him for twelve years.

Tharladsen is said to have been the driver who
waited outside, something the prosecutor thought
should get ten years in prison. Stian Skjold was,
according to the state's attorneys, a newcomer who
was going to prove that he had become something
in the criminal world. He allegedly ran into the
museum together with a now deceased man and
tore the two paintings down from the wall.

Litt på norsk
Strenge straffer for Munch-ranere

Det må reageres strengt for en så graverende
forbrytelse. Bildene har en verdi på 750 millioner
og er to av hjørnestenene i Munchs produksjon, sa
lagmann Dag Stousland i Borgarting lagmannsrett.


Petter Tharaldsen, Bjørn Hoen og Stian Skjold ble
funnet skyldige for Munch-ranet 22. august 2004.
De tre er dømt til fengsel i perioder fra fem og et
halvt år til ni og et halvt år. De er dessuten dømt
til å betale til sammen 1.570.000 kroner til Oslo
kommune.

Dommene er litt mildere enn aktoratets påstand.
Statsadvokat Elisabeth Ramstad mente Bjørn
Hoen var organisator av det væpnede ranet og ba
retten fengsle ham i tolv år.


Tharaldsen skal ha vært sjåføren som ventet på
utsiden, noe aktor mente han burde få ti års
fengsel for. Stian Skjold var, ifølge
påtalemyndigheten, debutanten som skulle vise at
han dugde til noe i det kriminelle miljøet. Han
skal ha løpt inn i museet sammen med en nå
avdød mann og revet de to bildene ned av veggen.

Social Programs (Continued from page 1)

night starting at 6:30 PM.  After dinner and a short meeting, grab a cup o' java and a cookie, sit back, open your ears and your mind and enjoy a magnificent presentation of "The Vikings" by Vera Elizabet Littlejohn.

November is a month  filled with activities, including our Foundation night banquet on November 3 and Heritage Fest on November 18th.  Our November 30th meeting is a seeming contradiction where we have a brief Memorial Service to remember and show our respect for past members, while the same meeting's program is a holiday song fest.  Many of these songs may have been favorites of those we remember that evening.  Food for the evening will be supplied by Lois Amack and Judy Torgersen.  If you have special favorites you want to sing, please contact 847-894-5449.

December 15th is Skjold's Annual Christmas Party from 3PM to 5PM - food, beverages, games, singing and dancing around the tree, and a visit from Santa.  Our Yule Party is free - no charge to you!  We'll tell you more about this fun day in the

next issue of Skjold News.

We are trying to determine if we should hold a special fundraising event.  Our Lodge Scouts are looking for entertainers in our midst who would like to be in what we hope could become an annual fund-raising event - a Dinner Theatre Musical Comedy.  If approved, our 2007/2008 show would be called: "LODGE RUMORS".   This issue of  Skjold News was at the printers when our proposal for this event was presented, and hopefully, approved, at the August 15th Board Meeting so we can't tell you the outcome here.  Performance dates would be the weekend after Christmas, and the next two weekends after New Years - tickets will make great holiday gifts!!!!  Please contact: 847-894-5449 if you're interested in participating.

Mange Takk!  That's all for now - look for some of our 2008 events in the next issue!!!!   Wendell & Lorrie Brenner.
