Anyone working on their GED is strongly encouraged to finish the five-test sequence by the end of 2013 or face the prospect of starting over next year.
“The national organization that administers the GED program will implement a series of new tests in 2014 that will be required to earn this academic credential that’s equivalent to a high school diploma,” said Jim Begotka, director of Learner Success at Nicolet College. “We want to make sure that anyone who has started their GED knows about these changes so they can finish their GED by the end of the year. This is the only way students will get credit for work they’ve already completed.”
He added that Nicolet offers free GED preparation classes throughout the Northwoods to help students better prepare and successfully complete the GED tests. These classes, offered through the college’s Academic Success department, are held on the Nicolet Campus just south of Rhinelander, in the Curran Building in downtown Rhinelander, and in numerous other communities including Minocqua, Eagle River, Tomahawk, Lac du Flambeau, Crandon, Carter and Mole Lake.
“Earning a GED is important in many different ways,” Begotka said. “It opens the door to college, better and higher paying jobs, and the personal sense of accomplishment that comes from earning this valuable academic credential.”
Annually, more than 200 students earn their GED or HSED through Nicolet College’s Academic Success program.
He also said individuals need to beware of the scams related to GEDs. “The Wisconsin technical colleges are the only institutions that can offer official GED testing,” he noted.
Nicolet College offers the GED test on paper and now also in computer-based formats. If an individual does not meet the minimum required score, students can retake the test for free. This only applies to the computer-based testing option.
For more information, visit nicoletcollege.edu or call the Nicolet College Academic Success department at (715) 365-4455, 1-800-544-3039, ext. 4455; TDD (715) 365-4448. Summer classes at Nicolet are a great way to advance your college education (Rhinelander)
Enrollment is now open for nearly 100 credit classes Nicolet College will offer in the upcoming Summer Semester.
“Taking college classes in summer has numerous advantages,” said Kenneth Urban, Nicolet vice president of teaching, learning and student success. “Students can shorten their time to graduation, lighten class loads in future semesters, or even begin their college careers.”
Classes will include numerous offerings from Nicolet’s University Transfer Liberal Arts program. These include courses in art, English, geography, history, math, psychology, philosophy, sociology, science and speech. Other options include courses in Nicolet programs such as Accounting, Early Childhood Education, Cosmetology, Industrial Equipment Mechanic, Nursing Assistant, Office Technology, and Welding.
Classes start Thursday, June 6.
Urban noted that all credits earned in University Transfer classes and many from other Nicolet programs transfer to numerous four-year colleges and universities, including every campus in the University of Wisconsin System.
“Every year we have students from other colleges who are home for the summer take classes at Nicolet and then transfer these credits to the campus they’ll attend in Fall Semester,” Urban said.
Numerous Nicolet summer classes are also offered online or in a hybrid format that blends online and in-class instruction.
“Many students have jobs in the summer or other responsibilities. These online and hybrid classes give students added flexibility, allowing them to complete the coursework at a time that works best for them,” he said.

Adults and children who love hearing true stories about wildlife and nature are invited to Trees for Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 28, 2013, 7:30 p.m. for a talk by wildlife zoologist, Avinoam Lourie, who helped protect and bring back some of Israel's endangered species. Lourie presents heart-warming, fascinating, and often hilarious tales of his life as head of the Haifa Zoo, director of Israel's two large nature reserves, and as a conservation warden for the Israeli Parks and Nature Authority.
Not only smuggling thought-to-be extinct Persian Fallow Deer out of Iran, but many other animal escapades such as a Syrian Bear in his bed; an orphaned jackal in his wife's oven (unbeknownst to the wife); Monkeys swinging from the chandelier and throwing valuable vases from the bookshelf; Being stabbed and nearly killed by a jealous male Roe deer; Or had his arm chewed by a "friendly" tiger?
Lourie talks with wit, humor, sensitivity and grace. He also wrote a book together with Eagle River's publicist, Naomi Shapiro, called "A Bear In My Bed & A Jackal In My Oven, Adventures of an Israeli Wildlife Zoologist," which he will have with him and be happy to autograph.

Randy Sabien is a jazz violinist. That means he plays jazz on the violin, right? Answer: Yes, No and What do you mean by jazz? Strings educator, jazz master, music author and record producer, Randy Sabien is also one of those rare talents to be hailed as both a violinist and a fiddler. For Randy, the term Jazz Violin is little more than the name of the musical genre where his recordings are found. He regularly steps beyond the boundaries of what many think of as jazz, forging headlong into the worlds of rock, blues and funk. His career began with classical violin lessons, he soon picked up fiddling and from there it was only natural he would find himself playing along with his favorite rock tunes. Then at age 19 he was reborn with the discovery that you could play jazz on the violin. The resulting sound is swinging, rocking, rhythmic and bluesy with a fiddle that often plays more like a saxophone than a violin. There are shades of Duke and Miles and you can certainly hear the echoes of the great jazz violinists from the swing era but above all, Randy is a product of his time - someone who grew up playing the violin while immersed in the music of the 60s and 70s. This led to inspired renditions of tunes by the Beatles, The Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers and others. Meanwhile, his own compositions developed as straight ahead jazz for violin. When he put out his first album, In a Fog (©1983), it was received with glowing reviews from Downbeat, JazzTimes, Billboard and others. Upon his latest release, Rhythm and Bows (©2008), Randy Sabien has assembled a new band featuring three violins. Inspired by the 1930’s Western swing music of Bob Wills, Sabien plugs the concept of multiple fiddles into be-bop, blues-rock, and beyond. Fueled by a four-piece rhythm section, The Fiddlehead Band pays homage to the history of American roots string playing while stretching beyond contemporary conventions. Whether a classic Western swing tunes such as “Maiden’s Prayer,” an instrumental version of a Grateful Dead song, “Stella Blue,” or a swinging Duke Ellington tune, “Mr. Gentle and Mr. Cool,” as the generations-old tradition created by Wills and The Texas Playboys would say: If it makes people dance, Randy Sabien & The Fiddlehead Band will play it!
From Sabien’s classical violin youth to a professional career spanning four decades, he has been a favorite guest of “A Prairie Home Companion” and “Austin City Limits” and has toured the world playing in different styles and with many music greats, from Béla Fleck to Greg Brown. As an educator, Sabien founded and chaired the Strings departments at Berklee College of Music (1978) and McNally Smith College of Music (2009), while his teaching savvy has served students of all ages as “artist in residence” in communities spanning nineteen states, Canada, and Europe. Sabien recently coauthored Jazz Philharmonic (Alfred Publishing), an innovative exploration of jazz methods for string orchestras.
With an endless variety of performance formats and educational settings, Sabien can adapt to virtually any performance situation; festivals, universities, concert halls and clubs. Whatever the scene, when RANDY SABIEN picks up his violin, get ready. His rhythmic, bluesy, swingin’ sound will have you bobbing your head, tapping your toes and dancing right out of your chair!
Randy and the Fiddleheads will be appearing at the Campanile Center for the Arts on Thursday, June 6, at 7:00pm. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students and can be obtained by calling 715-356-9700.
