BY RENÉE JEANWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — The rig count may have fallen, but hopes were high at a confer-ence Wednesday exploring ways to connect regional manufacturers with the oil and gas industry.

The goal of the Manufac-turing and Logistics Con-fernce—MANLOG—was to find a way to lower costs for the latter while creating new opportunities for the former.

About 175 companies were represented at the event in The Well at Wil-liston State College. The companies came from throughout North Dakota, but also extended into such states as Minnesota, South Dakota and even Canada and ranged from ag-focused industry and machine shops to design-build and civil engineering firms.

The conference continues today until 2:30 p.m. with panels focused on transpor-tation and logistics.

The oil industry spent more than $7 billion dol-lars on out-of-state goods and services, according to an NDSU study, much of it sourced from companies that not just one or two

states away. The distance creates

extra transportation and logistics costs for the oil and gas industry, and it's a lot of missed opportunity for regional manufacturers, something they were eager to cash in on.

The oil and gas panels in-terested regional manufac-turers the most, with com-panies such as Continental, MBI and B & G Oil Services, explaining the kinds of chal-lenges and problems they face doing business here in the Bakken.

"I feel like a newly educat-ed person," said Tim Stuart with Tel Pro Inc., a Grand Forks company. "I got a good impression of how they do business, and how they expect business with them to be done."

Stuart came looking for a niche in the oil and gas sector where his company might fit. He's not looking at a new product, necessarily, but has labor and skills that could be put to work on a second tier level.

"Let's say a company builds bridges for oil and they need to build 1,500," he said. "I could build 500 of them."

FARGO — Once again, Williston and Dickinson are the fastest growing micro-politan areas in the country, and other cities in North Dakota are following suit.

AdvertisementThe Williston micropoli-

tan area population grew last year by 8.7 percent, or 2,567 people, to 32,130, ac-cording to the U.S. Census Bureau. The Dickinson area was close behind, growing 7 percent, or 1,995, to 30,372.

Williston, the hub of the booming Bakken Forma-tion, was the fastest- grow-ing micropolitan area, a classification for urbanized areas with a population falling between 10,000 and 50,000.

While growth in the Fargo and Bismarck metropolitan areas cooled a bit last year, youthful vigor still appear to be propelling growth.

Last year, the Fargo-Moor-head metro area’s popula-tion grew at 2 percent, or 4,438 people, to reach 228,291, according to new Census Bureau estimates.

That continues a trajec-tory of consistent growth — maintaining a pace that is neither tortoise nor hare – that has averaged 1.8 percent yearly since 2000 and has more than doubled the metro area’s population since 1980.

The increase has been driven by an influx of people in their 20s, a key child-bearing age, which in turn begets more growth through births.

The youthful growth trend, identified in a recent demographic study to guide transportation planners, outstripped projections made four years ago, which predicted Fargo-Moorhead’s

Helmerich & Payne Inc. has begun stacking rigs on land it owns off Highway 22 near the Five Diamond Industrial Park north of Dickinson.

BY ERNEST SCHEYDERREUTERS

WILLISTON —North Dakota's drilling rig count dipped below 100 on Wednes-day, a level not seen for more than five years and one that state officials expect will not be enough to maintain exist-ing oil production of 1.2 million barrels per day.

There were 98 rigs oper-

ating in the state on wells owned by Exxon Mobil's XTO Energy, Norway's Statoil and others, accord-ing to data from the state's Department of Mineral Resources (DMR).

That is down from 120 at the start of the month and 198 last March.

Lynn Helms, the DMR's head, had said earlier this

month that he did not expect the rig count to fall below 100, and warned that even at that level, "we could see pro-duction numbers drop off."

While the rig count can sometimes prove to be a har-binger of future oil produc-tion, its reliability as such a barometer is slipping due to technological advance-ments.

‘Blood Brothers’ closes this weekendBY CHARLEE GUILDWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — It's not just a musical, but a one-of-a-kind theater experience, and it's not too late to catch the show.

The last performances of Willy Russell’s "Blood Broth-ers," is showing at 7:30 p.m. today, Friday, and Saturday. There will also be one last

matinee at 2:30 p.m. Sunday. You can grab your tickets now by calling the box office at 701-577-3179. It is open Monday- Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Blood Brothers, is a con-temporary piece that cen-ters its theme on nature vs. nurture. The musical starts out with fraternal twins who are separated at birth,

live their lives separately, and then fate brings them together once again.

Director B. Michael Quale says it's a "tight piece of musical theater."

FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) — Charges that Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl deserted and endangered his post in Afghanistan intensify the debate over his politically wrought release: Should he spend years in prison as punishment for endanger-ing soldiers who risked their lives to find him?

Or was five years as a Tali-ban captive, where he was so isolated officials suggested it had affected his ability to speak English upon his return to the U.S., punish-ment enough?

Bergdahl, 28, won't face a death sentence, although the punishment is an option for prosecutors to pursue against deserters in war-

time. But his case does raise the ques-tion of whether military prosecutors will lock away for life a man the U.S. gave up five imprisoned Taliban commanders to bring home.

A death penalty case was likely a non-starter after all that had to be sacrificed to bring him home, said Jef-frey K. Walker, a St. John's University law professor, retired Air Force officer and former military lawyer. In fact, his defense attorney might successfully argue

POPULATION: Fargo-Moorhead, Bismarck quickly growingFROM PAGE A1

population this year would reach 225,830, a figure ex-ceeded last year.

“I’d say population growth has been pretty significant in Fargo-Moorhead, particu-larly on the North Dakota side, in the last 15 years, said David Burns, a trans-portation planner for the Fargo-Moorhead Metro-politan Council of Govern-ments, which closely tracks demographic trends.

Burns recently assembled a population pyramid for the metro area that showed the largest population groups are those ages 20 to 24 — “a huge blip” — and 25 to 29, followed by those 30 to 34.

Because of its large segment of college stu-dents, Fargo-Moorhead’s population has always had a healthy population of young adults. What’s changed in recent years, Burns and oth-ers agreed, is the metro is creating more jobs that keep them here after graduation.

Still, Fargo’s steady growth trend has prevailed most years since after World

War II, said Jim Gilmour, the city’s planning director.

A growth burst occurred over the past three years, he added, largely fueled by the energy boom and strong farm economy.

“People are moving here for all sorts of jobs,” Gilmour said, noting a recent spike in construction jobs. The Fargo-Moorhead employment base skews heavily toward service jobs including finance and insur-ance, health care and higher education.

In other highlights from the Census Bureau’s popula-tion estimates for metropoli-tan and micropolitan areas in 2014:

The Bismarck metropoli-tan area grew to 126,597 last year, growing by 2,604, com-pared to an estimated gain of 3,528 residents in 2013.

Bismarck’s 2.1 percent population gain in 2014 was enough to rank as the fastest-growing metropoli-tan area outside the South and West, according to the Census Bureau.

The Fargo metropolitan area was a shade behind in its growth rate, at 2 percent.

“It’s like a rounding er-ror,” Kevin Iverson, man-ager of the North Dakota Census Office, said of the slight difference in growth rates.

But Iverson wondered if that growth was sustain-able and if cities could keep up with infrastructure improvements to keep that growth going.

“At least in this part of the country, we’re in new territory there,” he added. “It’ll be interesting to find out.”

Because oil development has slowed as a result of the sharp drop in oil prices, growth likely will moderate, giving local governments and others time to catch up to the feverish growth, he said.

Eventually oil prices will rebound, and economic and population growth will be lifted, Iverson said.

“This is a temporary hur-dle, and eventually prices go back up. It’s a question of when and how much and the rate,” he said. “It’s not this sense that people are head-ing out the door.”

Overall, North Dakota’s

population grew 2 percent last year, a growth rate that closely mirrors its two larg-est metro areas, Fargo and Bismarck, as well as Ward County, which includes Mi-not, which grew 2 percent, to 69,384.

Ward County appears poised to overtake Grand Forks County, which gained 827 people last year, or 1.2 percent, reaching 70,138.

Minnesota’s Clay County grew 1.1 percent, a gain of 640 to reach 61,288. That growth rate was almost double Minnesota’s 0.6 per-cent growth in 2014.

Fargo-Moorhead’s steady growth might not get the attention of Oil Patch boom towns, but it is the kind planners like to see.

“That’s the kind of growth you’d want in a metro-politan area,” Burns said, “sustainable growth.”

Next year, he said, when F-M MetroCOG issues its next population forecast, it will be revised upward, likely predicting a popula-tion for 2040 much larger than the 298,070 projected four years ago.

MANLOG: Industry lookingFROM PAGE A1

Richard Cosette with TRS Industries of Fargo was looking to branch out from the ag industry.

"Our goal out here since we are connected to the ag industry was to try to come out and see what we could do to supply the oil indus-try with specialized covers and possible pond liners," he said. "We think there is some opportunity for us out here just in the custom cover side of things."

Mark Mueller, with Ayars and Ayars out of Minne-sota, on the other hand, was looking for opportunities to provide infrastructure in Williston.

"We believe there is a need for better distribu-tion," Mueller said. "We're hoping for some opportu-nities to bring warehouse facilities to Williston to facilitate having better distribution of goods to oil producing companies."

He was encouraged by what he heard in the panels. "There's certainly a strong need here," Mueller said, "and the buzzword of the day was innovation. Maybe through innovation there is a way to solve some of these problems."

It's not just important from a business standpoint, he added. Beating out OPEC's maneuver for mar-ket share is important in the larger scheme of things.

"We should do everything we can to hold onto this resource," he said. "It's an advantage, and we should be very concerned about another entity trying to make that resource unusable for us."

Minnesota has a very robust economy, he added,

with a lot of manufactur-ing capabilities. He believes there are probably many missed opportunities for regional manufacturers to play a part in helping the oil industry survive the lower oil price environment and applauded the idea behind the conference.

"They're really trying to facilitate answers to these questions and solutions to the problem," Mueller said. "For everyone to pull togeth-er and come to a conference like this, I really think they are on the right track. I hope it will be a recurring event."

For his part, Shawn Wenko, executive director of Williston Economic De-velopment, which organized the event along with Jeff Zarling of DAWA Solutions Group, was pleased not only with the turnout, but with what he saw happening on the conference floor.

"This is exactly what our vision for the entire Bak-ken Supply Chain Initiative was all about," he said. "We heard regional manufactur-ers on the floor saying, well I could make that, or I could provide that."

That will create sustain-ability for the oil and gas industry in the short run, but it will also help create long-term diversification by building the manufacturing capabilities of the region. A company that builds widgets one day can always build wodgets another.

"This is a long-term initiative out of our office," Wenko said. "It's not going to be solved overnight, but we're willing to put in the effort to make this happen for the city of Williston."

BLOOD BROTHERS: Blends drama and music with comedy FROM PAGE A1

left the audience and kept them questioning how they felt during the production," he said. "I wanted to direct it the same way and leave others feeling what I had felt.”

The cast includes several local actors, some new to the area, as well as a three-

piece band directed by mu-sical director Mark Suelzle. He makes the three-piece band come alive and sets an illusion of sound that de-picts an actual full orches-tra, Quale says.

Brothers blends its drama and music with a comic score and will leave the audi-ence breathless, Quale says.

Spencer Zarr, a cast member says the storyline is his favorite part. "This play really shows two sides of social classes of our generation," he said. "It shows how the rich are get-ting richer and the poor are getting poorer. The times that we are in right now today can really relate back to the times based in this play, such as hard working people losing their jobs and not being able to provide

for their families and them-selves.”

Entertainment, Inc! of Williston, for more than 30 years, is a nonprofit community theatre that has become the foremost leading arts organizations in the northwestern part of North Dakota and east-ern Montana. It not only

caters to adults, but helps develop the future genera-tion of theater lovers with a children's program. Many of the actors have grown up with Entertainment, Inc! and are still members of the non-profit arts program here in Williston.

GRAND FORKS — Submis-sions for a new University of North Dakota nickname should be accepted through-out April, the university's new nickname committee decided Wednesday.

Online and print submis-sions of nickname sug-gestions will be accepted April 1 through April 30, the committee decided. Print submissions -- which will be advertised for in newspa-pers throughout the state, as well as possibly other avenues -- will allow one nickname suggestion, while the online process will allow the option of two.

Each suggestion, which will be limited to 25 charac-ters, may be accompanied by a description of why that nickname was chosen, to be limited to 140 characters, the committee decided.

Suggestions may be anony-mous, and there will be a screening process for sugges-tions already trademarked

or deemed inappropriate.UND President Robert Kel-

ley recently tasked the new nickname committee with narrowing the public's sug-gestions to three nickname options for a public vote in May. UND's former Fighting Sioux nickname was retired in late 2012 after the NCAA threatened sanctions.

Following the commit-tee's decision Wednesday on nickname submission guidelines, UND public affairs staff will finalize its work on an online portal for submissions, which will be announced publicly once complete, said Susan Wal-ton, associate vice president of public affairs at UND.

While most of us would like to think spring is in the air, the same can't be said for those who want to get outdoors and play some ball.

This is especially true of the Williston State Col-lege baseball and softball teams as they look ahead to playing on the home turf.

The base-ball team was slated to play at the Dawson Community College Tournament at Glendive, Mont., this weekend and we can't tell you if that action will come off.

The Tetons, under the guidance of Shawn Cote, rest with a record of 6-8 after having taken part in a spring road trip with diamond games in Colorado and the sun of Arizona.

Cote, a Williston native in his fourth year as skipper of WSC, has been successful to date and is looking to add to his mark with a roster that lists players from across the country.

The Teton roster lists eight players from the state of Utah, along with one listed from as far away as Australia.

Looking ahead, the Tetons are slated to open at Rabon Field, on the campus of WSC on April 3 against Da-kota College-Bottineau.

Old Man Winter will have to release his grip and the sun needs to pop out to warm things up a bit before the sounds of outdoor play can begin in earnest.

On the softball front at WSC, Tiffany Buckmaster, a native of Ohio, heads up the Tetons.

With an early record of 7-8, several games have been scratched, including play at Carroll College on Saturday already being scratched.

The Lady Tetons are scheduled to open home play on April 1 against James-town College.

Then again, April Fool's Day might come into play instead.

TETON RAFFLEWhile we have you think-

ing about action over at Wil-liston State College we seize this opportunity to remind you the annual Truck Raffle is set for 8 p.m. on April 24 at The Well.

The winner of the raffle will receive a 2015 GMC 1500 Sierra pickup.

Some 12 major prizes are also up for grabs in this event that is headed up by the Teton Booster Club, with proceeds to benefit the ath-letic program at WSC.

If you haven't made a pur-chase to get your name on the dotted line you had best call the Teton Athletic Office at (701) 774-0748 and they will direct you as to how to get your hands on a ticket.

TWINS SEASONAlong with everyone

else, the Minnesota Twins are closing fast on spring training in Florida and it won't be long before the club heads north.

With opening of the 2015 season only days away, the Twins begin play in Detroit and then venture home, in search of sunshine.

The Twins should be a fun team to watch this year, now under the direction of Hall of Famer Paul Molitor.

He will no doubt be under the microscope, but he is the type of individual that can handle the pressure.

We say, bring it on!

PEE WEE HUNTThis is the time of year

Health Talk with Lynn

Everyone has medicines in their homes. When they are taken theright way and by the right person, medicines keep us healthy. Butif too much or the wrong medicine is taken by mistake, poisoningcan happen. For a child, taking even a small amount of a medicine meant for an adultcan be deadly. To keep your family safe from medicine poisonings follow these tips.Safe Use of Medicines• Read all the directions on the medicine bottle. Follow them carefully.• Turn on a light when you give or take medicines at night. This is so you know that you

have the right amount of the right medicine.• Keep medicines in the bottle or container they came in, so you know what it is and

how to use it.• Never share or sell your prescription drugs.• Keep pain medicines, such as methadone, hydrocodone, and oxycodone, in a locked

cabinet or box that can only be reached by people who take or give them.Keeping Children Safe• Put the poison control phone number by every telephone. Save the number in your

cell phone. The number is 800-222-1222.• Keep all medicines in the childproof containers they come in. Keep these in a locked

cabinet or box that children cannot reach.• Don’t take medicine with children watching. They like to copy adults.• Don’t let guests leave medicines where children can find them, like in a purse,

backpack, coat pocket, or unlocked suitcase.• Don’t leave your medication out. Put them away after each use.• Don’t throw away medicine patches or pills where children can find them.• Don’t keep medicines you no longer need. Ask your pharmacist about the best way

to get rid of them.What to Do if a Medicine Poisoning Happens• Stay calm.• Call 911 if the person has passed out or is not breathing. If the person is awake,

call your poison control center 1-800-222-1222.• Stay on the phone and do what the emergency operator or poison control center

Submissions for new UND nickname will be accepted throughout April

If you read most of the stories on the terrible terrorist attack in Tunisia recently, you would have, at best, an in-complete picture of the reality of that lovely little state, which seemingly reaches out geographically to Italy from the northern borders of Africa.

At worst, you wouldn’t have the faintest idea what was really going on.

Only The New York Times has mentioned the fact that the Bardo Museum, a historic palace that lies near the ruins of ancient Carthage, far from being only “a museum,” is the home of one of the greatest collection of Roman mosaics in the world. It was there that the handful of gunmen deliberately chose to kill 20 innocent tourists from all over the world.

I have not seen any analysis of why Tuni-sia, which many good journalists correctly described heretofore as the “greatest hope of the Arab Spring,” was and is so different from the rest of the Middle East. As if it were a secret!

And a disturbing number of TV and other analysts, if they mentioned him at all, unbelievably described the revolutionary founder of the state, the melodramatic but enormously successful Habib Bourguiba, as simply another Middle East “tyrant.” A brilliant, French-educated lawyer who was repeatedly imprisoned by the French colonialists, Bourguiba was Tunisia’s president from 1957 to 1987.

A typical -- and revealing -- comment on Tunisia in these troubled days, when international analysts judge about 3,000 young Tunisians have gone to Syria to fight with ISIS, while a stunning 9,000 have been stopped at the borders, came from the respected International Crisis Group: “Tuni-sia is often presented as an exception in the region, a point of hope for balanced progress and democratization after its early role in the 2011 Arab Revolutions.”

The group’s Tunisia senior analyst, Michael Bechir Ayari, further referred to the dauntless country as “an example of successful compromise” -- founder Bourguiba’s idea of how moderation, or “politics by stages” or a “strategy based upon realism,” is the only realistic way a poor country can advance in today’s globalized world.

But the important thing to remember is that Tunisia’s “exceptionality,” which is nearly always mentioned when one speaks of the little North African wonder, did not emerge out of nowhere. It was not a miracle, like Mary’s Virgin Birth or the Prophet Muhammad’s voyage from Jerusalem to Heaven. It was a carefully planned economic and social program put into action by the very human Bour-guiba after the French were driven out of their protectorate in 1957.

Take, first, the question of the makeup of Islam, which has become so overwhelmingly central in the new/old/for-ever Middle East.

Most articles give the impression that Islam came to the fore in Tunisia only AFTER Rachid Ghannouchi, the Islamist leader of the Ennahda party, returned from two decades of exile after the 2011 Arab Spring. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.

Tunisia, it turns out, was actually the FIRST country in the Middle East to have a full-blown Islamist revolt, coming to a head in the 1980s.

At that time, the followers of Ghannouchi, whose inspira-tion then came from Albania and the anti-colonialist and pro-Marxist Third World set off four bombs in tourist areas. Then they planned to assassinate Bourguiba.

Bourguiba was so sick by this time that he could no lon-ger rule the country.

His mind now passing from his beloved moderation to ex-tremes, he wanted to hang Ghannouchi and other Islamists.

Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, former head of intelligence, overthrew Bourguiba, took power and sent almost all of the seditionists into exile. When Ben Ali was overthrown in the initial act of the Arab Spring in 2011, it was he who was now pictured as a corrupt dictator. This is not true, either; Ben Ali’s weakness was staying in power too long (1987 to 2011) and the corruption of his wife’s family.

It is sad that, all over the Middle East, our military, our businessmen and too many of our political analysts do not seek out these deeper meanings of history, for without un-derstanding the roots of human action -- whether in Tunis, Baghdad or Cairo, and whether from the Turkish Ottomans or the Egyptian reformers of the 1890s or the New York Stock Exchange -- we cannot understand what THEY are doing, and more important, what WE are doing.

Today, as yesterday in Tunisia, the Islamists are attacking foreign tourists. Innocents! Why? Because, as new Prime Minister Habib Essid told The New York Times, “... every-thing is there to succeed. Now the country is going to cross the last stage of the transition toward economic and social development. ... They do not want democracy to deliver.”

If we can understand how the Arab peoples themselves can cause representative government to “deliver,” instead of trying to impose our own ideas, there is every likeli-hood that the Tunisian “exception” could become the Arab example.

Democracy still has a chance in Tunisia

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — The Vermont attorney general’s office has sued a publicly financed lieutenant governor candidate accused of campaign finance viola-tions stemming from a mass email worth at least $255.

Attorney General William Sorrell said Wednesday that Dean Corren’s campaign solicited and facilitated a Vermont Democratic Party mass email sent to at least 16,000 people last October supporting his candidacy.

Sorrell says the email

amounts to a campaign contribution Corren failed to report. His office says it’s seeking the return of $52,000 in public funds Corren’s cam-paign had when the email was sent and $20,000 in fines.

Corren lost the election. He filed a federal court lawsuit against Sorrell on Friday, challenging provisions of the campaign finance law. His lawyer says he wants the court to declare he didn’t violate the law because the email fits within several exemptions.

Vermont candidate sued over email worth $255

President Obama has found in newly-elected Afghan President Ashraf Ghani a leader who seems to inspire trust, and who actually values the sup-port of American troops as he works to improve his nation's security picture. And so Obama has decided, well, perhaps he isn't so wedded to his rigid time-table for troop withdrawal after all.

At the White House yester-day the president announced plans to slow the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghani-stan, leaving a force that now numbers 9,800 until the end of this year.

His earlier plan, devised when the ever-erratic

Hamid Karzai was still in charge, called for shrinking the U.S. presence to half that number by the end of 2015, and for a complete pullout by the end of 2016.

Obama does indeed still plan to vamoose from Afghanistan altogether by the time he leaves office; he made that clear in yester-day's joint appearance with a rather gracious Ghani.

But extending the dead-line for withdrawal — dif-ficult as it is personally for those service members who were ticketed for a trip home — is an acknowl-edgment of the dangerous reality on the ground. Afghanistan's security forces have improved, but

are not yet fully capable of fending off the Taliban or of rendering Afghanistan off-limits to terror groups that would use it to wage a proxy terror war. A nearly-complete withdrawal based on an outdated timetable risks the possibility that the U.S. would eventually be forced to return in a combat role.

Ghani assured Obama that the U.S. "flexibility" on troop levels would be used to accelerate reforms, to ensure Afghan security forces can stand on their own. That is in the mutual interest of both countries.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Lawmakers on Wednesday passed a resolution formally encouraging student partici-pation in state government even as the legislators were being lampooned nationally for mocking what started as a civics lesson for fourth-graders.

The action in the House of Representatives follows the much-criticized and publicized debate over the students' effort to name the

red-tailed hawk the official state raptor. As the students from Lincoln Akerman School watched from the House gallery March 12, one lawmaker invoked abor-tion and others called the students' effort a waste of time. One suggested the state would next be naming an official state hot dog.

The House defeated the kids' bill.

Students study New Hampshire state history in

fourth-grade, and classes often work with a legislator to bring a measure to the floor, leading in recent years to the naming of a state dog, amphibian, insect, fruit and vegetable.

Blowback was swift. Na-tional media wrote about the comments, editorial writers blasted lawmakers, come-dian John Oliver shredded them on his HBO show and the satirical website The Onion weighed in, too.

Dear Annie: I am a male, over 60, gray, balding and noticeably overweight. Because of back problems, I choose to wear suspend-ers instead of a belt. So, why is it that women of all ages think it’s OK to snap my suspenders, or at least express a desire to do so? Most recently, it was a younger woman on the staff of a hospital ER while I was waiting for my wife to be treated.

I’m fairly certain that if I were to snap their bra straps, they would slap my face and call the police, and rightly so. Why, then, do these ladies believe they have a right to put their hands on me? — Lost for an Answer

Dear Lost: We have no clue why anyone, male or female, would think it is OK to treat your suspend-ers as though they were a child’s toy to play with. You likely appear to oth-ers as jocular and friendly, which makes them treat you as though you are familiar and accessible — their favorite uncle. And there may be something about suspenders that en-courages people to touch them. But this doesn’t ex-cuse their behavior.

If someone approaches you a little too closely, feel free to back away or ask

them to keep their hands to them-selves. An-other option, of course, is to cover the suspenders with a jacket or sweater. And, read-ers, please keep your hands off the merchan-

dise.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Hurting for My Brother-in-Law.” She said her brother-in-law’s wife died, and her three sons from a previous marriage put her first husband’s name on the headstone. I can understand their rea-sons.

My mother remarried when I was 17, and she died 15 months later. Her second husband asked my permis-sion not to use my father’s name on the headstone. It seemed reasonable, so I agreed. The headstone only shows her maiden name and that of her second hus-band.

Years passed, and I had only minimal contact with my stepfather, who died a long time ago. My grown children never knew him. They worry they will be unable to find their

grandmother’s burial plot because they don’t easily recall my stepfather’s last name. I phoned the cem-etery and requested that they cross-reference Mom’s married name with my maiden name (my father’s name), but they refused.

In years to come, my chil-dren’s descendents may wish to know where their grandmother is buried, but her second husband of one year will not be remem-bered. — G.

Dear G.: You should make certain that your pa-pers include your mother’s married name so that fu-ture generations will have a record of it and can locate her gravesite. You also might find out from the cemetery whether you can add anything to the head-stone or who can give you the authority to do so — perhaps your stepfather’s children, who may not have any objection to your adding your father’s name.

Why do women think it’s OK to snap suspenders?

Annie’s Mailbox

Brad Goreski, a fashion stylist and TV personality, said, “Putting on a new pair of glasses or sunglasses is a simple way to completely transform your look -- just like a new hair style.”

This week we have looked at pairs of deals in which a small rearrangement of the cards transforms the right line of play or defense.

Look at this restyling of yesterday’s deal. One of West’s hearts has been given to East. How does that affect the result in four spades after the defense begins with three rounds of hearts?

As I mentioned yesterday, North might have raised spades with only three-card support when holding a minimum opening bid with 3-4-5-1 or 3-1-5-4 dis-tribution. So South rebid three clubs to leave open three no-trump and four spades as possible game contracts. Here North, with a good club holding and four trumps, jumped to four spades. He hoped that his weak trumps would not prove fatal.

South must try to hold his trump losers to one by twice leading toward the hand with the two honors. Yes-terday, with hearts split-ting 4-4, that line worked perfectly. Today, though, if East is wearing a prescrip-tion pair of glasses, he can defeat the contract.

When declarer plays a spade from the board at trick five, East must imme-diately grab the trick with his ace and lead another heart. As you can see, this affects a trump promotion. If South ruffs low, West overruffs; or if South ruffs high, East will eventually gain a trump trick.

Teton’s Sylvester is named Player of Week

Williston State College baseball player Skyler Sylvester has been named Mon-Dak Conference Player of the Week.

Sylvester, a right-handed pitcher from Salt Lake City, is in his second sea-son with the Tetons.

Last week, Sylvester went 1-0 with one save in eight innings and did not allow a run.

He allowed six hits and had six strikeouts.

All eight innings pitched came against No. 3 ranked Madison College from Madison, Wis.

Change to extra points likely in NFL

PHOENIX (AP) — The NFL’s dullest play, the extra point, appears to be headed for some changes, perhaps significant ones, for the 2015 season.

While team owners didn’t vote on any extra-point proposals Wednes-day, there was so much discussion and interest in potential changes that the issue will be a main focal point for the next set of league meetings in May.

“There’s a clear move-ment to wanting to change and change it this year,” said Rich McKay, co-chair-man of the competition committee and president of the Falcons.

McKay’s committee will “develop alternatives and be ready for a potential vote” in two months in San Francisco. Among the possibilities are moving the line of scrimmage back for PAT kicks; placing the ball on the 1½-yard line for a 2-point conversion; eliminating the PAT kicks entirely.

BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Montana State men’s basketball coach Brian Fish says four underclass-men from the 2014-15 team will not be returning next season.

Junior forward Terrell Brown and two freshmen — center Bradley Fisher and guard Joey French-wood — will continue their careers elsewhere. Fish says sophomore forward Ryan Shannon is retiring due to health concerns, but plans to remain a student at MSU.

Brown played in 28 of the Bobcats’ 30 games this season, averaging 4.1 points and two rebounds. Fisher played in 11 games and Frenchwood played in 24 games, averaging 2.4 points.

Fish thanked the players for their contributions and wished them luck in the future. MSU also gradu-ated three seniors.

The MSU men’s basket-ball team finished in a three-way tie for last place in the Big Sky Conference standings and posted a 7-23 overall record in Fish’s first season as head coach.

Eikens earns all-state honors

WHS freshman is one of three WDA players to make 1st teamBY CHRIS AARHUSFOR THE WILLISTON HERALD

JAMESTOWN -- Mr. Basketball finalist Dakota Halvorson of Minot leads a group of five first-teamers and six second-teamers on the North Dakota Class A all-state basketball team, an-nounced Wednesday night.

Halvorson joins Wahpe-ton’s Blaze Irwin, Bismarck Century’s Dalton Feeney, West Fargo’s Melvin Col-lins and Williston’s DeSean Eikens on the first team.

Irwin and Halvorson were unanimous selections for all-state, which is selected by the North Dakota Associ-ated Press Sportscasters and

Sports-writers Associa-tion.

Halvor-son, a 5-foot-8 senior point

guard, led Minot to its first state championship since 1999. The Class A state tournament MVP averaged 17.1 points, 4.5 assists and 4 rebounds per game this season.

He was the West Region senior athlete of the year and is headed to Minot State for basketball.

“He does a little bit of everything,” Minot coach Dean Winczewski said. “He’s a phenomenal kid. He comes in with the right attitude. He’s a kid that people can look at and say, ‘He did it the right way.’”

Irwin, a 6-5 senior forward, had per-game averages of 17.3 points and 7.6 rebounds per game.

The East Region senior athlete of the year and Minot State commit led the Huskies to the state tourna-ment after they won the East Region during the regular season. He is Wahpeton’s all-time leading scorer.

“When Blaze doesn’t have a good day, we probably don’t have a good day,” Wahpe-ton coach Jeff Ralph said. “People look at Blaze and they think about his scor-ing, but I think it’s the other things he does like rebound-ing. He’s had a big year.”

Feeney, a 6-4 junior guard, helped Century earn the No. 1 seed for the West Region tournament, averaging 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. However,

he suffered a broken foot right before the regional, but watched the Patriots make a run all the way to the state championship game.

“There were stretches when we would struggle of-fensively, and he carried us,” Century coach Darin Mat-tern said. “Just his presence on the floor and the leader-ship and things he does as a player really carries over to the rest of the team. It was very difficult to replace him.”

Collins, a 6-4 senior for-ward, led the Packers to a fifth-place finish at the state tournament. His 18.1 points per game tied for the best in the East Region. He added 8.9 rebounds.

“He (brought) great energy to our team,” said West Fargo coach Greg Limke, who resigned after the sea-son. “He really improved his game a lot this year, and he plays with a lot of versatil-ity. He not only reached our expectations for him, he went beyond.”

Eikens, a 6-6 forward, led Class A in scoring as a freshman, pouring in 23.1 points per game to go with 9 rebounds and 1.5 assists. He scored at least 20 points in 17 of 22 games, though the Coyotes lost a play-in game to the region tournament.

“It might be a shock to see a freshman get this award, but if you know what basket-ball means to him, how hard

he trains and what he puts into the game, it’s no shock at all,” Williston coach Mark Slotsve said. “He’s so good in transition, just being able to rip down a rebound and beat teams down the floor. He could be one of those special kids we don’t see very often around here.”

A look at the second team:-- Kelvin Caga, Fargo

Shanley: The 6-foot senior forward tied for third in the East Region in scoring at 17.7 points per game.

-- Riley Henderson, Bismarck Century: The 6-4 senior forward averaged 10.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game. He led the West Region in blocks per game at 1.2.

-- Nathan Martin, Turtle Mountain: The 6-3 senior forward was second in the West Region in scoring with an average of 18.3 points per game. He averaged 5.7 rebounds per game.

-- Jacob Mertens, Devils Lake: The 6-2 sophomore guard averaged 14.6 points and was second in Class A in assists per game at 4.9.

-- Eric Ringdahl, West Fargo Sheyenne: The 6-4 junior forward averaged 18.1 points per game, which tied for the top spot in the East Region. He had 7.8 rebounds per game.

-- Noah Wanzek, James-town: The 6-4 junior forward averaged 16.4 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.

Coach Zimmer ‘fully expects’ Peterson to be with Vikings

PHOENIX (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings don’t plan to trade Adrian Peter-son and fully expect him to be with the team for the 2015 season.

His agent and Peterson believe otherwise.

Vikings coach Mike Zim-mer was emphatic about keeping Peterson at the NFL owners’ meetings Wednes-day.

“We’re good to go. I mean, he’s under contract and we expect him to honor it,” Zimmer said. “I think when he goes into the Hall of Fame, he’s going to want to go in with the jersey that everyone remembers him as. That will be as a Viking.”

Not so fast, agent Ben Dogra told The Associated Press.

“Adrian and I feel it is in his best interest, and it would be his desire, to play elsewhere in the NFL,” Dogra said. “This is not personal in any way, it is business.”

Peterson’s contract has three years remaining, with a $12.75 million salary for 2015. None of the remaining money on the deal is guaranteed.

Peterson, 30, has not yet

been reinstated by the NFL from his suspension under the personal conduct policy. The star running back and 2012 league MVP has balked at returning to the team, questioning the Minnesota organization’s support of him after he was suspended for disciplining his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch. The case was re-

solved in court with a plea bargain.

“I think we are pretty firm,” Zim-mer said. “I think we handled everything the way we are al-lowed to handle it.

“At times we were not able to speak

with him, which really is kind of ridiculous because of the (league) rules.”

Peterson currently is on the commissioner’s exempt list while the NFL appeals a federal judge’s decision to nullify an arbitration ruling that upheld his suspension.

Dogra said the standstill comes down to how the Vi-kings view his client.

“I would like to have their position in writing, and they have not done so,” Dogra said. “Is Adrian the face of their franchise or is he in their mind a 30-year-old run-ning back?”

A8 WILLISTON HERALD THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 2015 Nation/World

he deserves leniency after years as a prisoner.

"That's pretty good mitiga-tion evidence," Walker said. "It wouldn't surprise me at all if what he ended up with was a dishonorable discharge and no jail time."

Bergdahl's "reintegration" when he returned to Fort Sam Houston in Texas sug-gests how difficult his life was in captivity. He was on a bland diet at first and did not initially have access to a television. He was gradually allowed to venture off the base to go to grocery stores, restaurants and shopping centers. He even had to read-just to the idea that he could

control aspects of his life as simple as choosing when to eat, and what.

However, the charges un-derscore the military's posi-tion that the hardship of his captivity doesn't outweigh the ramifications of leaving his post.

Some members of his former unit have called for serious punishment, say-ing others risked their lives searching for him.

"The military's obviously a very rough job. ... But ev-erybody else stayed with the oath and did what they signed up to do. And as a re-sult of that, some didn't get to come home," said Cody Full, 26, who served in Bergdahl's

platoon. He said Bergdahl should be stripped of his pay and benefits and be dishonor-ably discharged.

Michael Waddington, a military defense lawyer not involved with Bergdahl's case, said he expected a long prison sentence and won-dered why the U.S. bothered to bring him back.

"The administration traded a known Taliban for this guy only to bring him back and put him in jail," Waddington said. "That seems to me like a waste of resources."

Bergdahl, 28, was captured by the Taliban after leaving his post in June 2009 and held by members of the Haqqani network, an insurgent group

tied to the Taliban that oper-ates both in Pakistan and Af-ghanistan. Before disappear-ing, Bergdahl had expressed misgivings about the U.S. role in the war — as well as his own.

Last May 31, Bergdahl was handed over to U.S. special forces in Afghanistan as part of an exchange for five Tali-ban commanders who were imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The exchange set off a debate over whether the U.S. should have released the five Taliban members. Little is known about what the five have been doing in Qatar, where they are being monitored by the govern-

ment. Some lawmakers have predicted that the five would return to the battlefield.

Wednesday's announcement brought further criticism of the exchange from some law-makers, including U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas and the chairman of the Commit-tee on Homeland Security.

"President Obama endan-gered our national security and broke the law when he chose to negotiate with terrorists and release hard-ened enemy combatants from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Sgt. Bergdahl — who many believed at the time was a deserter," McCaul said in a statement.

The Obama administration

appeared to stand by the swap."Was it worth it? Absolute-

ly. We have a commitment to our men and women serving overseas, or in our military, defending our national se-curity every day, that we will do everything we can to bring them home, and that's what we did in this case," State Department spokes-woman Jen Psaki said in an interview on Fox News.

Bergdahl was charged with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy; the first carries up to five years in prison, the latter up to life. A conviction on either could strip him of his rank and all pay and earn him a dishonor-able discharge.
