repeated this method for six Williston townships and Williams County outli-ers, based on historic per-sons per household rates, hotel data provided by the Williston Convention and Visitors Bureau, building permit stats and data col-lected from experts on the ground in the region.

The idea was to assist the city in finding a popula-tion figure, and overcome census limitations and lag time. Her 2012 projections, compared with recent esti-mates, were all within a 5 percent margin of error.

"We did pretty well," Ho-

dur said. "That bodes very well and reinforces that if we do the hard work to dig out the primary data from the planning department, the city and the county, we can get a good handle on how many bodies—how many noses—are in the Williston area."

City Engineer Bob Hanson said Hodur's figures match what the city's wastewater plant is being asked to handle. A calculation of 80 gallons of wastewater per day used on average, multiplied by 31,143, equals more than 2.4 million gallons a day. Public Works Director David Tuan said the plant

is running at 2.5 million gallons a day.

But, Hodur asked, what about the so-called slow-down happening from the oil price drop?

She ratcheted down the percentages of non-tradi-tional housing capacities to produce a medium and low end service population projection. The medium oc-cupancy level showed Wil-liston at 30,643 people and the immediate surround-ing area at 48,410. The lower projection returned populations of 29,430 and 46,827, respectively.

"The number barely moves. It still just takes it down a blip, it's like a

rounding error," Hodur said. "You're still drinking out of a fire hose."

And yet, the projected numbers still have flexibil-ity, she said.

According to Hodur, there is no data set to measure seasonal shifts in population. There's also no way to account for a high-er-than-normal persons per household rate—1.5 PPH per RV, according to census data—caused by high rents and a scarcity of rental lots and units that force non-traditional residents to double or triple the PPH in some cases.

Get top dollar!

Something big is going to happen in Williston this sum-mer.

That will come about due to the fact organiz-ers of Youth Education on Stage (YES) have listened and will now be offering a musical to kick off the 31st season of YES.

Plans are in the works to present what organizers consider to be a "big, brassy Broadway hit," in "Hello Dolly."

This musical will be performed June 30, and again July 1-2 on the stage at the Old Armory Theatre, located in downtown Wil-liston.

Jack Dyville, co-founder of YES currently residing in New York, told us rehears-als will begin on June 9 and continue through June 29, right up to opening night.

Dyville, who will be in Minnesota serving as a judge of the Miss Teen competition, has plans to return here in time for the auditions.

Times for rehearsals, ac-cording to Dyville, will be matched to the majority of schedules, while "we will feature our teens and ages 6-12 as well."

He added, "there will be some evening rehearsals, but we are giving you plenty of time to set your summer schedules."

With that being said, Dyville has announced they will be holding auditions from 4-7 p.m. on March 18 and again on March 19, at the Old Armory Theatre in Williston.

Dyville points out, "if you are not familiar with the title song, Google it, give a listen as we are asking everyone to sing that song a cappella for us at the audi-tions. You will also be asked to read from the script."

Plans call for a short monologue for "guys and gals," ages 9-18 to prepare for auditions.

It should be pointed out there is no need to memo-rize this monologue, accord-ing to Dyville.

Dyville also tells us audi-tion monologues are avail-able from YES Business Manager Vivian Kalmik.

However, if you are unable to be available for the three performance dates of the musical, you should not consider trying out.

You can also drop by the Old Armory Theatre lower level during business hours, or call the Box Office at (701) 577-3179 for more informa-tion.

DOUBLE AUDITIONSIf you think that is going

to be big, have we got news for you!

With the way things have been booming around this part of the country it's only fitting to offer a produc-tion entitled "A Boomtime Minute."

That's just what Dyville

and company will be putting on stage July 7-9.

This will be a part of the annual Summer Shorts pro-gram, that Dyville oversees along with co-YES founder B. Michael Quale.

What's neat about all this is the fact auditions for "A Boomtime Minute," will also take place from 4-7 p.m. on March 18-19, in conjunction with the "Hello Dolly" audi-tions.

SHORTS TAKE TWISTAlong with that, a brand

new twist for this summer will come into play.

A new format will call to have 4-5 actors placed on teams that will perform and compete together as they present a series of one-min-ute plays.

"Yes, that's right, these are great fun," said Dyville.

There will be some 40-50 plays with each team pre-senting five or more each.

Due to the fact things will be moving swiftly on stage, the theme of the city it takes place in, led to the title of "A Boomtown Minute."

Dyville and Quale, serving as co-producers, send out a welcome to all returning students, while encouraging all "newly transplanted" Wil-listonites, with or without theatre experience, to join them at YES for the 31st season.

To keep in pace leading up to the auditions next week you can refer to the YES Facebook page.

Should you have questions in advance the best way to do that is send an email to Dyville at [email protected].

This certainly looks to be an exciting summer for a large number of students.

Once the students have done their work, we encour-age you to do your part and get out to support them with your applause.

At the same time, Dyville and Quale deserve a Scope Salute for bringing and maintaining the arts in Wil-liston.

TEDDY TALENT TREKTime is fast approaching

for yet another event for area individuals to show off their talents.

Time for the Teddy Tal-ent Trek XV, considered by some as the premiere talent competition in the MonDak area, set for 2 p.m. on March 28.

The setting for the second year, is the Skadeland Gym, located on the grounds of Williston State College.

Long a part of the Wil-liston Sports & Recreation Show, officials opted to sepa-rate the show and since that split the production is now in the hands of the James Memorial Art Center.

Two categories will be available for contestants once again, with a vocal that can include solo and duo, or a group with or without accompaniment.

The second is variety, leaving the door open for instrumentals, dance or any other talent.

The best part about all this is there is no entry fee to participate.

OFF TO MEDORA

Along with some major cash prizes, the top finishers in each division will have the opportunity to perform on the famed Burning Hills stage, the home of the Me-dora Musical.

A bonus has been added to the mix, with the winners also set to perform at the Upper Missouri Valley Fair.

Now that's a lot at stake, right out of the chute.

But hold on partner, cash prizes handed out include $300 for first, $200 for second and $100 for a third-place showing.

There, you should have enough incentive to get your entry filed.

Registration forms are available at any of the spon-sors, including long-time sponsors American State Bank & Trust Co., Willis-ton CVB and the Williston Herald, along with KUMV, KXMD, Nemont, KEYZ/KYYZ and the James Memo-rial Art Center.

For more info you can call the JMAC (701) 774-3601 or the CVB at (701) 774-9041.

CHEER THEM ONYou are invited to come

out and cheer on all of the performers, while support-ing the hard work of the JMAC at the same time.

This event falls into good hands, with strong sponsor-ship that has been there since the start.

It is now up to you to see that TTT lives to see another day, providing this opportu-nity.

Admission has been set at $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and students, while children 12 years of age and younger will be admitted free.

You should also know con-cessions will be available throughout the TTT.

CHECK OUT JAMESWe want to remind you of

the activities taking place this week, and through the weekend at the James Me-morial Art Center.

The Williston Woodwork-ers and the Upper Missouri Camera Club are co-hosting another show and you are invited to drop by through the weekend.

Here you will be able to view some outstanding works made by hand and beautiful photos that have been captured through the lens of a camera.

There is a silent auction taking place and funds raised through this effort will go to help support ac-tivities at the host facility.

We encourage you to take time and check it out. You can call the JMAC at (701) 774-3601 to learn more on the hours.

CORN'D BEEF FEEDHey folks, here's another

grand event you don't want to miss.

The oldest running meal around this area is the 85th annual Corn'd Beef 'n' Cab-bage Dinner set for March 21.

Apparently a different date was printed earlier, but we now have it on good intel the event will be held four days after St. Patrick's Day.

This meal takes place in the Fellowship Hall of Faith United Methodist Church, located at 219 1st Ave. West, in downtown Williston.

The dinner will take place from 11 a.m. and run through 6 p.m.

Tickets are available at the door.

ALSO QUILT SALEWhile all of the eating is

going on, the Faith Quilters will be having a quilt sale beginning at 11 a.m. in the sanctuary at United Method-ist.

Officials tell us this is the 8th annual sale and the event is open to the public.

Plans call for handcrafted quilts and table runners to be available for sale.

You should pay special note to the start time of 11 a.m., as we are told this is a time change.

There you have it folks, two great events bundled into one for your conve-nience.

Williston has always been supportive of church meals and with this one lasting the longest, at 85 years, has to say something.

Get out and enjoy both events on March 21.

FARGO — Potato farming brothers Aaron Johnson of Northwood, and Derek Johnson of Vancouver, British Columbia, will spend time in federal pris-on in the Federal Prison Camp in Duluth, Minn., and are jointly responsible for restitution of nearly $1 million because of crop insurance fraud.

In a rare crop insurance fraud conviction, the John-sons were found guilty on Dec. 11, 2014, and were sen-tenced on March 9. Aaron, 50, was sentenced to four years in prison and five years of supervised release and will report to prison on April 13. Derek, in his late 40s, will serve 18 months in prison and five years super-vised probation, perhaps in a halfway house, and will submit to U.S. Marshals on March 10.

The two have 14 days to appeal the sentence.

The conviction was based

on crop insurance fraud from 2002 to 2007, but U.S. District Judge Ralph R.

Erickson based the money losses sentence solely on the 2006 crop season.

Today in History

Today is Wednesday, March 11, the 70th day of 2015. There are 295 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On March 11, 1865, dur-ing the Civil War, Union forces under General William T. Sherman oc-cupied Fayetteville, North Carolina.

On this date:In 1861, the Constitution

of the Confederate States of America was adopted by the Confederate Con-gress in Montgomery, Alabama.

In 1888, the Blizzard of ‘88, also known as the “Great White Hurri-cane,” began inundating the northeastern United States, resulting in some 400 deaths.

In 1915, during World War I, Britain enacted a sweeping, long-distance blockade aimed at dis-rupting trade to and from German ports.

In 1942, as Japanese forces continued to advance in the Pacific during World War II, Gen. Douglas MacArthur left the Philippines for Australia. (MacArthur, who subsequently vowed, “I shall return,” kept that promise more than 2½ years later.)

In 1955, Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin, died in London at age 73.

In 1965, “I Lost It at the Movies,” a collection of film criticism by Pauline Kael, was first published by Little, Brown and Co.

In 1977, more than 130 hostages held in Wash-ington D.C. by Hanafi Muslims were freed after ambassadors from three Islamic nations joined the negotiations.

President Clinton would be very secretive, too

Syndicated columnist

News that Hillary Clinton exclusively used a private email account to keep secret her communications as Secretary of State should surprise no one. She came to Washington more than 20 years ago determined to keep secrets, and she’s still at it.

In 1993, the newly inaugurated President Bill Clinton chose his wife to head his ad-ministration’s most important domestic ini-tiative, health care reform. Hillary Clinton proceeded to create a task force that seemed more determined to keep secrets than to restructure health care.

“The culture of secrecy is such that the White House refuses to provide a full list of consultants brought in to aid in the effort,” the New York Times reported in February, 1993, just after the first lady got started. Clinton later went to court rather than reveal the most basic details of the effort. Story after story about her work used phras-es like “wall of secrecy” and “shrouded in secrecy” and “frantic, secretive process.”

When the task force collapsed in defeat, columnist Maureen Dowd wrote that “it was the first lady’s secrecy and righteousness in trying to push through her 1,364-page bill that doomed the effort.”

By the end of the Clintons’ first year in Washington, the new White House became ensnared in the first of the scandals that would last through Bill Clinton’s presidency. Hillary Clinton was deeply involved, sometimes in the origi-nal offense, like Travelgate, and sometimes in the legal and political pushback, like the Lewinsky scandal. The Clinton trademark was withholding information from investigators.

Given that, Clinton’s email secrecy today sounds famil-iar to the investigators who spent the 1990s trying to pry information out of her office. “This sort of behavior is all fully consistent with what we dealt with a few years ago,” says Jackie Bennett, a prosecutor who served in the inde-pendent counsel’s office investigating the Clintons. “There was almost always a delay or some insufficient production of some document or discovery request.”

For example, as part of the Whitewater investigation, a grand jury subpoenaed Clinton’s billing records from her days in Arkansas. The White House insisted the records could not be found. Two years passed, with no documents. And then one day, the White House announced that -- sur-prise! -- the records had been found on a table in the White House residence, virtually in plain sight.

Mrs. Clinton pleaded ignorance. “I do not know how the billing records came to be found where they were found,” she said after testifying before a grand jury in January, 1996. “I, like everyone else, would like to know the answer about how those documents showed up after all these years.”

As the Clinton White House years progressed, the first lady became a pro at confounding investigators. A veil of secrecy covered much of what she did, from responding to criticism to dealing with subpoenas -- even to organizing her own thoughts about events.

In May 1996, when Clinton appeared on the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, she was asked if she planned to write a book someday about her experiences in the White House. “Are you keeping a diary?” Lehrer asked. “Are you keeping good notes on what’s happened to you?”

“Heavens, no!” Clinton responded with a laugh. “It would get subpoenaed. I can’t write anything down.”

People around her didn’t write anything down, either. “I don’t put anything down in writing,” Clinton loyalist Sid-ney Blumenthal told the Washington Post during the scan-dal years. (That policy eventually changed; Blumenthal was one of the first discovered to be sending emails to Secretary of State Clinton’s private address, clintonemail.com.)

Others in the Clinton White House followed the first lady’s example. Top aide George Stephanopoulos, for ex-ample, told investigators he did not keep a diary and never made notes about work at the White House. Later, when Stephanopoulos published a highly detailed memoir of those years, he explained that he used a friend, the liberal journalist Eric Alterman, to help him record his thoughts away from prying subpoenas.

In more recent years, Hillary Clinton created an atmo-sphere of secrecy around her presidential campaign. By late 2007, her Democratic rivals were “attacking her as overly secretive,” according to a Times report. (In that case, she wanted to keep documents from her White House years a secret.)

So now, as prosecutor Jackie Bennett suggested, Clinton’s obsession with secrecy as secretary of state, whether it broke any law or not, is entirely consistent with her per-formance in public office for decades. And that leads to one obvious lesson: If Hillary Clinton is elected president, the patterns of a lifetime won’t change.

Odd news

CASA GRANDE, Ariz. (AP) — An Arizona sheriff's de-partment says some of the marijuana bales that suspects tossed out of an SUV during a high-speed chase last week got picked up by passing vehicles.

Dash-cam video released by the Pinal County Sheriff's Office shows many of the 21 bales of pot inside the SUV flying out a window and onto roadways during the March 4 chase. Several of the bales broke apart as they bounced on the pavement.

Sheriff's Office spokesman Jim Knupp said Tuesday that 17 bales totaling 374 pounds of marijuana were recovered, and four or five vehicles were seen stopping to pick up the rest.

The chase spanned Interstates 8 and 10 near Casa Grande in south-central Arizona and several local roads. It ended when the SUV pulled off a two-lane road and stopped after driving over tire-puncturing sticks.

Two men were arrested on suspicion of marijuana traf-ficking offenses and fleeing police.

The Sheriff's Office said the pursuit resulted from infor-mation gathered as a result of another chase in which a pickup truck was stopped earlier the same day. That stop led to the detention of nine people who were turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol, the office said.

Odd newsImprint of license plate in snow leads to burglary suspects

LAKEVILLE, Mass. (AP) — The imprint of a license plate in a snowbank proved to be the undoing of a couple suspected of a series of burglaries in Massachusetts.

A Lakeville police officer investigating a home break-in traced the imprint to a pickup truck that matched the description of a vehicle seen at other burglaries.

Chief Frank Alvilhiera told The Enterprise of Brockton on Monday that the truck was traced to a Dartmouth hotel.

Alvilhiera estimates the goods are worth at least $10,000.

terms of OK, we have a per-centage of this workforce who doesn't want to live in North Dakota, so we need some inventory of tem-porary housing that can be torn down and repur-posed," she said.

On the other hand, there's also a percentage who might buy into the region and live in North Dakota communities, but there are certain impedi-ments or certain quality of life factors they want first.

That information can be used to improve quality of life for both camps of work-ers, and perhaps, over the long-term, lead to factors that will improve retention rates for the labor force in North Dakota.

Oil and gas companies interested in participat-ing in the NDSU study can contact Hodur at either 701-231-7357 or [email protected].

Companies can partici-

pate confidentially, and par-ticipation in the publicly funded study is free.

Hodur said several com-panies have already signed up, but she is seeking a few more participants. Among those already participating is B&G Oil Services, a long-time company that began in Williston in 1966 and is still headquartered here. They employ about 300.

Pat Bertagnolli is B&G Oilfield's human resources director.

"What interested me in it, and our organization, is, obviously, we are after sustainability," Bertagnolli said. "We want to maintain a seasoned, safe, service-oriented workforce, and we appreciate the opportunity to participate in surveys of this nature. It gives our folks on the front line a chance to voice their opin-ion on the things they'd like to see, and the things they'd like improved."

NDSU STUDY: Improve lifeFrom PAge A1

MINOT (AP) — Minot police used spike strips to catch a man who fled from officers trying to arrest him following a domestic violence incident.

Authorities say the 29-year-old man fled late Tuesday, and officers called off the chase when it reached unsafe speeds. Of-

ficers later came across the vehicle driving recklessly and used spike strips to deflate the tires.

Officers pursued the vehicle until it stopped, and arrested the man on several charges including fleeing and reckless endangerment. Formal charges were not immediately filed.

email practices varied among her predecessors, Clinton is the only secre-tary of state known to have conducted all official unclas-sified government business on a private email address. Years earlier, when email-ing was not the ubiquitous practice it is now among high officials, Colin Powell used both a government and a private account. It's a striking departure from the norm for top officials to rely exclusively on private email for official business.

CLINTON: "I fully com-plied with every rule I was governed by."

THE FACTS: At the very least, Clinton appears to have violated what the White House has called "very specific guidance" that officials should use gov-ernment email to conduct business.

Clinton provided no de-tails about whether she had initially consulted with the department or other govern-ment officials before using the private email system. She did not answer several questions about whether she sought any clearances before she began relying ex-clusively on private emails for government business.

Federal officials are allowed to communicate

on private email and are generally allowed to conduct government business in those exchanges, but that ability is constrained, both by federal regulations and by their supervisors.

Federal law during Clin-ton's tenure called for the archiving of such private email records when used for government work, but did not set out clear rules or punishments for violations until rules were tightened in November. In 2011, when Clinton was secretary, a cable from her office sent to all employees advised them to avoid conducting any official business on their pri-vate email accounts because of targeting by unspecified "online adversaries."

CLINTON: "I did not email any classified mate-rial to anyone on my email. There is no classified mate-rial."

THE FACTS: The asser-tion fits with the facts as known but skirts the issue of exchanging information in a private account that, while falling below the level of classified, is still sensi-tive.

The State Department and other national security agencies have specified rules for the handling of such sensitive material, which could affect national secu-rity, diplomatic and privacy

concerns, and may include material such as personnel, medical and law enforce-ment data. In reviewing the 30,000 emails she turned over to the State Depart-ment, officials are looking for any security lapses concerning sensitive but un-classified material that may have been disclosed.

CLINTON: "It had numer-ous safeguards. It was on property guarded by the Se-cret Service. And there were no security breaches."

THE FACTS: While Clinton's server was physi-cally guarded by the Secret Service, she provided no evidence it hadn't been compromised by hackers or foreign adversaries. She also didn't detail who adminis-tered the email system, if it received appropriate soft-ware security updates, or if it was monitored routinely for unauthorized access.

Clinton also didn't answer whether the homebrew com-puter system on her prop-erty had the same level of safeguards provided at pro-fessional data facilities, such as regulated temperatures, offsite backups, generators in case of power outages and fire-suppression systems. It was unclear what, if any, encryption software Clin-ton's server may have used to communicate with U.S. government email accounts.

Bread pudding with Irish whisky sauce

BY SARAH AND TONY NASELLOFORUM NEWS SERVICE

FARGO — This week we’re sharing the recipe for one of our favorite desserts, spiked with an Irish twist just in time for St. Patrick’s Day: Bread Pudding with Irish Whiskey Sauce.

We love to make bread pudding for several reasons, especially for dinner parties or brunch. For one thing, it’s a large-batch dessert and ridiculously easy to make, and can be made in advance and refrigerated, or even frozen, until ready to serve.

Next, it’s a great way to use stale or leftover bread, tastes delicious, and is always a crowd-pleaser. In fact, we’ve yet to meet anyone who doesn’t enjoy a good bread pudding. We prefer to use artisan-style breads like the French bread or baguettes from the Fargo Breadsmith store, but rustic dinner rolls or even

Irish soda bread would also work great. Stay away from ordinary sliced bread, as it just doesn’t have the heft to create an excellent bread pudding.

This is a classic bread pudding recipe which can be served as is or embel-lished in myriad ways by adding raisins or other dried fruit. For this special occasion we’re keeping it Irish by adding a tablespoon of Jameson Irish Whiskey and serving it with an Irish whiskey sauce.

Whenever we include liquor in a recipe we will invariably receive an email asking if it’s safe for kids to eat. This is such a good ques-tion. As long as the liquor is cooked into the recipe, as it is here in both the bread pudding and the sauce, or in a savory sauce, then the alcohol content evaporates during the process, making the dish safe for any age to

enjoy.Because of the high egg

content, bread pudding is typically cooked in a water bath at a low temperature, in this case, 300 degrees. The water bath is essential as it keeps the eggs from scrambling and ensures that the dish will be gently and evenly baked.

The Irish whiskey sauce requires a little more tech-nique but is well worth the extra effort. It can be served immediately or refrigerated for several days, or even fro-zen for up to one month. The base of the sauce is a classic vanilla sauce, also known as a crème anglaise.

To make the sauce, you’ll need to scald the milk first, which helps to infuse any added flavors into the milk, in this case, the vanilla ex-tract. Scalding is not scorch-ing – cook the milk over me-dium heat just until it starts to boil and becomes frothy,

then remove immediately from the heat and cool at room temperature for sev-eral minutes.

Next, egg yolks and sugar are whisked together until the mixture becomes very thick and pale yellow in col-or. Tony uses a whisk to mix his sauce, but it takes sev-eral minutes for the sauce to thicken and his muscles are bigger than mine, so I prefer to use my electric handheld or stand mixer instead.

The two mixtures are then combined by adding the cooled milk in a slow, steady stream to the egg and sugar mixture, and then the sauce is returned to the sauce pot to cook over medium-low heat until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add the Irish whiskey, stir, and serve by spooning over the bread pudding.

Have a Happy St. Patty’s Day and may the luck of the Irish be ever with you!

Dessert gets a twist with Irish whiskey

BY CANDICE CHOIAP FOOD INDUSTRY WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) — Mc-Donald's says global sales declined again in Febru-ary, including a 4 percent drop in the U.S. where it is fighting to reinvigorate its image.

The world's biggest ham-burger chain has been struggling to hold onto cus-tomers amid shifting tastes and intensifying competi-tion, including a slew of places that position them-selves as more wholesome alternatives. In a statement Monday, McDonald's con-ceded "consumer needs and preferences have changed" and that its recent perfor-mance shows it needs to evolve.

Going forward, it said its goal would be to "reassert McDonald's as a modern, progressive burger com-pany."

Already, McDonald's has been signaling that changes are on the way. In January, it said CEO Don Thompson would step down and be replaced by Steve Easter-brook, its chief brand of-ficer.

That change took effect at the start of March and coin-cided with a "Turnaround Summit" for U.S. franchi-sees in Las Vegas last week, which the company said was designed to give "re-newed energy and focus" to restaurant operations.

For February, McDon-ald's blamed the sales de-cline in the U.S. on "ongo-ing aggressive competitive activity."

The drop at established locations came despite a promotion that let random-ly selected customers pay with acts of "loving," such as a fist bump or hug. The two-week promotion was

part of a new advertising push that tries to link Mc-Donald's with the positive emotion of loving, rather than focusing too heavily on deals.

One change some custom-ers in the U.S. could see relatively soon is an option that lets them build their own burgers by tapping a touch screen. McDonald's has said it plans to roll out that "Create Your Taste" program to as many as 2,000 restaurants this year. The program is part of the focus on giving people greater flexibility to cus-tomize their orders, which executives say is increas-ingly valued by customers.

On ingredients, McDon-ald's also said last week it would limit the use of an-tibiotics in chicken within the next two years. Execu-tives have also hinted that the company might simpli-fy recipes to remove preser-vatives in some items.

In the division including Asia, the Middle East and Africa, McDonald's said sales fell 4.4 percent in Feb-ruary. The company's repu-tation has suffered particu-larly in Japan, where cus-tomers have reported find-ing various objects in their food. In China, McDonald's is trying to recover over a food quality scandal involv-ing a major supplier.

Sales edged up 0.7 percent in Europe for the month.

Overall, McDonald's says global sales fell 1.7 percent at established locations in February when including other regions the company doesn't break out.

McDonald's, based in Oak Brook, Illinois, has more than 36,000 loca-tions around the world. Its shares slipped about 1 per-cent to $96.19 in premarket trading.

No lovin’: McDonald’s sales slide once again

UND men’s hockey team No. 1 heading into postseason

B1

GRAND FORKS (AP) — The University of North Dakota men’s hockey team will enter postseason play atop both national polls.

UND over the weekend clinched the Penrose Cup as regular-season cham-pion of the National Col-legiate Hockey Conference. The team remains atop both the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll and the USCHO.com poll.

Minnesota State, Boston, Michigan Tech and Miami round out the top five in both polls.

North Dakota hosts un-ranked Colorado College this weekend in the NCHC quarterfinals.

DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) — R.A. Dickey was more focused on Marcus Stro-man’s season-ending knee injury than his own shaky start.

“You don’t ever an-ticipate losing a guy like that,” Dickey said after the Toronto Blue Jays’ 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. “An arm injury is one thing, but a freak accident like that knocks your wind out for a bit.”

Stroman was working on fielding drills Tuesday morning when he was called off by third base-man Josh Donaldson on a bunt. Stroman planted his feet to stop, then felt a pop in his left knee. An MRI confirmed a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

The 23-year-old righty was 11-6 with a 3.65 ERA in 26 games as a rookie last season.

“He’s such a sweet kid, man,” Dickey said. “And he hurts. ... We know how painful it is for him. He’s emotional right now in particular, so we’re just going to try and wrap our arms around him. He’s still got one fantastic ca-reer ahead of him, but this is no doubt a sad thing.”

Stroman was not avail-able for comment after the game, but tweeted: “Be-yond devastated. Not being able to compete with my brothers each and every day is extremely disap-pointing. Still can’t believe it.”

CLASS B REGION 8 BOYS BASKETBALL

Parshall runs past Watford City

MARK JONES | WILLISTON HERALD

Parshall’s Justin Roberts passes the ball off to a teammate during the first half of Tuesday night’s Class B Region 8 semfinial contest against Watford City. Parshall won the game 75-66.

Big second period run sends Braves to title gameBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — The Parshall Braves have all the necessary pieces in place to make a deep postseason run.

And the Watford City Wolves found that out the hard way Tuesday night in the semifinals of the Class B Region 8 boys basketball tournament at The Well.

The Braves used a 22-9 edge in the second period to pull away for a 75-66 win over the Wolves.

With the win, Parshall advances to face New Town for the Region 8 title game Thurs-day evening at 7:30 p.m. It will be a rematch of the District 15 tourna-ment title game.

“We struggled in the sec-ond quarter,” said Watford City boys basketball coach Randy Cranston. “The last time we played them, we struggled in the second. We played well in the first. We got two of their players into foul trouble.”

The Wolves held their ground with the Braves in the opening period, never trailing by more than five points.

A three-point play by Logan Fettig in the final sec-onds of the opening period pulled Watford City back to within one at 18-17.

In the second, the Braves broke a 20-20 tie by scoring nine straight points to take a 29-20 lead.

Parshall’s lead grew to 16 on two different occasions

late in the opening half. “We got away from doing

what we wanted to do,” the Watford City coach said of the second period.

The Braves took a 40-26 lead into intermission.

“Our goal was to get it to six or eight points by the end of the third period,” Crans-ton said. “And we didn’t get that done.”

Still, the Wolves continued to battle and did cut the defi-cit to 54-43 entering the final

period.“We battled and

battled back,” Cranston said. “But they are a good enough team to execute (in pres-sure situations).”

Cameron Run-nels and Seth Indergard each scored 15 points

to pace Watford City, while David Kline and Fettig each added 14.

Justin Roberts scored 25 points to pace Parshall, while Deyondre Simpson had 22.

“They have a nice make-up,” Cranston said. “They have a post player that requires a lot of attention, a lanky 6-foot-5 player and a solid point guard.”

Watford City will play Ken-mare for third-place Thurs-day night at 6 p.m.

New Town holds off Kenmare, 64-59

New Town’s Peyton White Owl looks for a teammate to pass the ball to during Tuesday night’s Class B Region semifinal game against Kenmare at The Well. New Town won the game 64-59.

Fast start sends Eagles to title gameBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — Through the first half of Tuesday night’s Class B Region 8 boys basketball tournament semifinal contest, the New Town Eagles appeared to be well on their way to an easy win.

But bas-ketball games are played in two halves.

And the Kenmare Honk-ers pushed New Town to the very limit with a second half rally.

In the end, however, New Town held on for a 64-59 win over Kenmare, The win sends the Eagles to the Region 8 tournament title game where they will face District 15 rival Parshall for the right to go to state.

The Eagles build a 36-21 lead at intermission and pushed that lead to 18 mid-way through the third period before Kenmare began its rally.

“Our team got bigger than it needed to be,” said New Town coach Robert White of his team’s second half effort.”

Kenmare outscored New Town 10-2 to close the third period. The Honkers scored the first six points of the fourth period to get back to within six.

“Our guards allowed them to get back into the game,” White said. “If they had played Eagle basketball, we would have won by 30.”

Darryl Grady scored 22 points to pace New Town, while Darryl Grady added 15 points and 10 rebounds.

New Town won despite hit-

ting 11 of 28 attempts from the free throw line.

“I’m not concerned (about the free throws),” White said. “Last night, we shot over 80 percent.”

Hunter Harris scored 24 points in the loss for Ken-mare. While the Eagles will play Parshall for the title, it

didn’t really matter to White who his team played.

“The team with the shoes on,” he said.

North Dakota State holds on to win Summit League titleSIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Lawrence

Alexander scored 16 of his 25 points in the second half to help North Dakota State hold off South Dakota State 57-56 on Tuesday night to win the Summit League tournament title and an auto-matic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

The Jackrabbits fouled Alexander with 8 seconds remaining and he missed the front end of a 1-and-1, giving South Dakota State a

final shot. However, George Marshall’s 3-point attempt was wide left.

A.J. Jacobson added 12 points and eight rebounds for the Bison (23-9).

Cody Larson scored 19 points to lead the Jackrabbits (23-10).

North Dakota State had a 17-4 run midway through the second half and led by nine with just over 6 minutes

remaining. However, the Jackrabbits went on

their own big run and pulled within one in the final minute. With 8 seconds to go, South Dakota State had a chance to take its first lead since the 11:11 mark, but Marshall’s shot was blocked out of bounds.

The call on the court originally went to the South Dakota State, but after an official review, possession was given to North Dakota State. The Jackrabbits were forced to put Alexander — an 81-percent free-throw shooter — on the line.

Peterson meets with Vikings owners

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings are still working on their relation-ship.

Three people with knowl-edge of the visit, speaking Tuesday to The Associated Press on condition of ano-nymity because of the sensi-tivity of the situation, confirmed that Peter-son met Monday with Vi-kings own-ers Zygi and Mark Wilf and general manager Rick Spielman in the New York area.

That was a sequel of sorts to a trip that Spielman and coach Mike Zimmer took last Wednesday to Peterson’s home outside of Houston, a four-hour meeting that by all accounts was cordial but still left Peterson with some con-cerns about the organization.

“We had a great dialogue, and they were able to under-stand where I was coming from and concerns my fam-ily and I still have,” Peterson said that day. “We respect each other, and hopefully the situation can pan out so that everyone involved is content.”

News of the latest meeting was first reported by USA To-day. The Vikings have repeat-edly said they want Peterson back. Still, for a soon-to-be-30-year-old running back, his $12.75 million salary for 2015 is a lot despite his decorated career featuring six Pro Bowl selections and a 2,097-yard season in 2012.

There’s no guaranteed money left on his contract, giving Peterson reason to proceed deliberately about his future.

The child abuse case involving injuries to Peter-son’s 4-year-old son that led to an NFL suspension.

Big trades steal spotlight from free agents

NEW YORK (AP) — Until the New York Jets landed Darrelle Revis, the first hours of NFL free agency Tuesday looked more like fantasy football.

Trades, anyone?Monster deals sending Jimmy Graham to

Seattle and Sam Bradford to Philadelphia stole the spotlight from free agent signings. That is until mid-evening, when Revis Island returned to the Meadowlands.

The Jets dug into their past to bring back the All-Pro cornerback, according to his agents. Revis goes from the Jets’ archrival Patriots, who he helped win the Super Bowl last month, to his NFL roots.

The deal is for five years and $70 million, with $39 million guaran-teed.

New Orleans agreed to send its star tight end to the Seahawks for center Max Unger, with draft picks changing hands. The Saints are to get a first-round pick, while Seattle receives a fourth-rounder.

That stunner was followed by Bradford, the injury-prone quarterback who barely has played the past two years (knee), going to Philadelphia for Nick Foles, who also comes off an injury-shortened season (collarbone) and is headed to St. Louis. Brad-ford was the top overall draft pick in 2010.

Foles is the latest starter to depart Phila-delphia. He joins two-time All-Pro running back LeSean McCoy, now in Buffalo, and Pro Bowl wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, headed for Kansas City, in going elsewhere.

Philadelphia also added Seahawks starting cornerback Byron Maxwell as a free agent with a six-year deal. And Seattle brought in cornerback Cary Williams, formerly of the Eagles and a 2012 Super Bowl winner with the Ravens.

Baltimore dealt nose tackle Haloti Ngata to Detroit, which is about to lose All-Pro defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh in free agency. Ngata, 31 and a five-time Pro Bowler, is due $8.5 million next season and has a $16 million salary cap figure.

The Bills confirmed acquiring McCoy for linebacker Kiko Alonso; McCoy also signed a contract extension for $40 million over five years.

The Jets also confirmed a previously agreed upon trade, getting receiver Brandon Marshall from Chicago for a fifth-round draft pick. The Jets released WR-KR Percy Harvin, whom they acquired last season from Seattle.

Carolina released DeAngelo Williams, its career rushing leader.

Two retirements also drew attention away from the chase for free agents. Five-time All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis, the heart of San Francisco’s defense for eight seasons, called it quits. The 2007 Defensive Rookie of the Year is leaving because of recurrent toe and feet injuries.

“In my head, I’m already a Hall of Famer,” Willis said. “I am leaving this with closure, saying that I am happy today, more happy today than I was the day I was drafted. That

says something to me.”Tennessee quarterback Jake

Locker, his four-year pro career ravaged by injuries, also re-tired, saying he has no “burn-ing desire” to keep playing.

The 49ers lost another main-stay when running back Frank Gore, their career rushing leader, joined the Colts.

Linebacker A.J. Hawk, who grew up in Ohio and attended Ohio State, agreed to terms with Cincinnati on a two-year deal. Hawk spent his first nine

seasons in Green Bay.Jacksonville, with lots of salary cap room,

grabbed tight end Julius Thomas away from Denver among a slew of moves. The Jaguars agreed to deals with defensive end Jared Odrick, right tackle Jermey Parnell, corner-back Davon House, linebacker Dan Skuta and safety Sergio Brown.

Thomas agreed on a five-year deal worth $46 million, with $24 million guaranteed.

Arizona got probably the best run blocker in this year’s group, guard Mike Iupati, who agreed on a five-year, $40 million contract with $22.5 million guaranteed.

The 6-foot-5, 331-pound lineman played five seasons with San Francisco, is a three-time Pro Bowl player and made the All-Pro team in 2012.

Arizona also re-signed linebacker LaMarr Woodley.

The Falcons fortified the middle of new coach Dan Quinn’s defense by signing free-agent linebackers Brooks Reed and Justin Durant.

Among other official free agency moves early in the process were LB Malcolm Smith, the 2014 Super Bowl MVP with Seattle, who agreed to terms with Oakland; DE Kendall Langford to Indianapolis; WR Brian Hartline to Cleveland; S Tyvon Branch to Kansas City; TE Owen Daniels to Denver; G Orlando Franklin to San Diego; CB Buster Skrine to the Jets; FB Jerome Felton to Buffalo; and QB Shaun Hill to Minnesota, which also re-signed RB Matt Asiata.

Gonzaga beats BYU 91-75 to win WCC titleLAS VEGAS (AP) — Kyle Wiltjer had

18 points and 10 rebounds, helping No. 7 Gonzaga shoot its way past Brigham Young 91-75 Tuesday night for the Zags’ third straight West Coast Conference tourna-ment title.

Gonzaga (32-3), the regular-season cham-pion, clinched its 14th WCC tournament by putting on an offensive show in an enter-taining rematch of last year’s title game.

The nation’s best shooting team during the regular season, the Bulldogs shot 53 percent inside Orleans Arena and made 8 of 12 from 3-point range.

Kevin Pangos had 16 points and five as-sists for Gonzaga. Domantas Sabonis and Gary Bell Jr. added 15 points each.

BYU (25-9) tried to match the Zags shot for shot behind Kyle Collinsworth, but nev-er quite caught them after built a 12-point lead early in the second half.

Collinsworth finished with 28 points, eight rebounds and five assists after post-ing a triple-double in the semifinals.

Tyler Haws added 15 points for the Cougars, who have to endure an agonizing wait until Selection Sunday for the second straight season.

The Zags have become a staple in the WCC title game, making their 18th straight appearance, the last 15 under coach Mark Few.

Gonzaga won the regular-season title for the 14th time in 15 years.

Dear Annie: I have been married for 22 years. I started working when I was 14 and didn’t stop until I started hav-ing medical issues two years ago.

The problem is my family. My husband doesn’t think it is important that our two kids, ages 20 and 21, have jobs. I have tried repeatedly to help them find employment because they won’t bother to try on their own. But they’ll stay at a job for a month or two, and then they leave. My husband doesn’t think there is a problem. When I bring it up, my son yells at me, and my husband doesn’t care. He says at least our son attends night classes twice a week. Our daughter’s self-esteem is very low, and I am worried about her.

I am sick of the arguments about the kids not doing more around the house and not find-ing work. I have moved out of the house and in with a friend. Was I wrong to do this? How do I make my husband see that the kids should have jobs? -- Expect Better

Dear Expect: Well, if you are out of the house, no one will push those kids to find work, and your husband will be supporting everyone. Perhaps he will then realize that keeping the children de-pendent and childlike is not in anyone’s best interest and insist that the kids contribute somehow to the household. But it won’t solve everything.

We hate to sound like a broken record, but counseling could help both of you deal more respectfully with each oth-er and more effectively with your kids. Even if your husband

won’t go, counseling could help you work out better ways of negotiating so that you have other choices besides frustra-tion and walking out.

Dear Annie: My “Uncle Lucius” is 88 and has lived in an assisted-living facility for several years. He’s not crazy about living there, but recog-nizes that he can no longer live on his own. He also has no interest in senior activities or much else.

Here’s the problem: When taking him to a restaurant or bringing him to my home, he frequently refuses to leave at the end of the evening. Uncle Lucius has a normal appetite, but spends most of the time talking instead of eating. When everyone is nearly finished and he’s prodded to eat, he routinely says he is too rushed, even if two hours have passed, and that he can’t chew his food, even if the meal is soup. He’ll demand new food to take home. If he’s told there is no food to take, he sud-

denly has no problem eating everything on his plate within 15 minutes.

Uncle Lucius has become so difficult that I am reluctant to pick him up and take him places. Any suggestions? -- Anonymous

Dear Anonymous: We think Uncle Lucius is lonely and uses these outings as an excuse to be the center of at-tention, and he wants to pro-long the experience. You are a kind soul to pick him up and have him for dinner, but we can see that your patience is wearing thin.

Let Lucius know that any food he doesn’t finish at the time you are ready to leave will be put in a plastic bag for him to take home. Then do it. You also might visit with him in his care facility, ask-ing him to show you around or perhaps visiting at a time when there is an activity you can do together that takes the same amount of time as you would have spent having din-ner with him. Please try to be tolerant.

Dear Annie: “Frustrated Pastor’s Wife” complained that her husband is not paid for officiating. It seems that customs vary among de-nominations and even among individuals within denomina-tions.

Our last pastor would not accept any payment, saying that officiating at such occa-sions was part of the pastoral care he provided. -- Mike

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Search for an unusual hobby, take part in a discus-sion or join an organization with an unusual philosophy. Your compassion and un-derstanding will attract new friendships.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It’s a good day to begin ren-ovations, invest in property or make self-improvements. Your financial prospects look promising, and making changes will lead to good re-sults. Romance is highlighted and a celebration is in order.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Do what you do best. A partnership will leave you with uncertain feelings that

must be resolved if you want to stay focused on what needs to be done. Listen to what others have to say.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You’ll end up in the middle of a situation that will help you move into a leadership position. Let your ideas be known and you will solve whatever problems exist.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Take on a new adventure. Sitting at home will not moti-vate you to participate in life. Get out and join a group that will bring you in touch with like-minded people.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Avoid rumors and idle chatter if you want to avoid friction. Transportation difficulties are apparent. If something isn’t working, do your best to fix the problem and keep moving forward.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Mingle, network and share your thoughts. Using your motor skills in a novel way will allow you to offer a ser-vice that is needed in your community.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You will make a lasting impression on anyone watch-

ing you. Don’t be shy; present and promote what you have to offer, and you will get something in return.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t let your nerves get the better of you today. Be-ing on edge will not help you solve a problem. Emotional turmoil is best dealt with swiftly before it can get out of control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- An unexpected turn of events must be ad-dressed before you can move forward. Honesty should take top priority. Once you clear the air, much can be accom-plished.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You have plenty to offer, but will lack the support nec-essary to get ahead if you are too vocal about your plans. Preparation will be your key to success.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t let your emo-tions dictate your actions or stifle your productivity. No one will do your job for you, and laziness will hurt your reputation. Stay focused and take your mind off your worries.

Husband doesn’t think kids should work

Annie’s Mailbox

Antony Beevor, an English historian and author, said, “I believe passionately in pre-emptive pessimism, especially before a book comes out. I expect the worst both from reviewers and sales, and then, with any luck, I may be proved wrong.”

Bridge players these days have pre-emptive optimism. Every chance they get, they open with a pre-empt. But sometimes that tactic back-fires.

Today’s deal occurred during a small duplicate. At several tables, North opened three diamonds in the second position, despite the four-card spade suit. This was always passed out. East typically led a heart, and the defenders took two hearts, two diamonds and one or two spades.

When North passed, the auction went as given. North was not sure what to do over West’s two-heart response, but he knew his hand had great po-tential for play in spades.

East wondered about bid-ding five hearts, but remem-bered that his partner was a passed hand. (Five hearts could have been defeated by four tricks, North-South tak-ing one spade, one diamond, one diamond ruff, two clubs and one club ruff.)

If West had led a heart, the defenders could have forced declarer to guess trumps. But a club lead was normal. South immediately discarded both of dummy’s heart losers, ruffed a heart in the dummy, and ran the spade nine, the percentage play for one loser. When that pulled out the ace, the spade suit split 2-2, and diamonds were 3-2, declarer brought home 12 tricks for a top.

In the second seat, you should have a textbook hand for a pre-empt because you are already past one opponent and are more likely than usual to be making life tough for your partner.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred interested in playing in CubaBY CHUCK KINGTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Rob Manfred says Major League Baseball is talking with the U.S. government about playing exhibition games in Cuba.

President Barack Obama said in December the U.S. was re-establishing relations with the communist island nation.

“I can envision a situation, assuming that it is consis-tent with the government’s policy on Cuba, where we could have ongoing exhibi-tion game activity in Cuba,” Manfred, the new baseball commissioner, said Tuesday. He did not specify a time-frame.

There were 25 Cuban-born players in the major leagues last season, including stars Yasiel Puig, Yeonis Cespedes and Jose Abreu, up from eight in 2007 and the most since 1970, according to STATS.

“Cuba is a great market for us two ways,” Manfred said. “It’s obviously a great talent market. We’ve seen enough of that during the offseason. It’s a country where baseball is embedded in the culture. and we like countries where baseball is embedded in the culture.”

Major league teams visited Cuba before Fidel Castro’s revolution in 1959, and the Baltimore Orioles played Cuba’s national team in Ha-vana in March 1999. Cuba’s proximity, just 90 miles from Florida, makes quick trips possible.

“It is some place that would be feasible for us to do in an ongoing basis,” Manfred said. “I think that people view Miami as sort of a jumping-off point to Latin America. I do see Latin America as a place where baseball already has great popularity but also has a great potential for growth from an international per-spective.”

The Marlins played exhibi-tion games in Panama (last year) and Mexico City (2004) and played a regular-season series against the New York Mets in San Juan, Puerto Rico (2010).

They traveled to Puerto Rico in 2003 and 2004 for regular-season games against the Montreal Expos,

who played a portion of their home schedule on the island.

MLB has opened its season at Tokyo (2000, ‘04, ‘08 and ‘12), Monterrey, Mexico

(1999), San Juan (2001) and Sydney (2014).

Manfred envisions expand-ing MLB’s presence in Latin America.

“It’s great to go someplace and play a couple of games,” Manfred said. “It generates interest here domestically. But when I think about in-ternational activity I want to do more than play two games someplace and go back five years later.”

Manfred said Miami’s record $325 million, 13-year contract with slugger Giancarlo Stanton reflects the health of the sport and the commitment of the Mar-lins’ ownership to Miami.

He said MLB plans to take an active role in promoting young stars like the 25-year-

old Stanton, who led the NL with 37 home runs last season.

“I think we a have a group of young payers, and Giancarlo is one of them, that are tremendously ap-pealing because of their amazing ability on the field

and the type of human be-ings they are off the field,” Manfred said.
