WILLISTON — New parking rules are going into effect in Downtown Willis-ton in May, with the idea to make it more user-friendly.

City Planner Rachel Ressler is heading the Downtown Plan and said the new regulations will come with a two-week grace peri-od starting May 1, allowing the city parking authority to issue warnings that will become actual tickets when

WILLISTON — The ques-tion on everybody’s mind doesn’t have a concrete answer: A hard date for Menards to open hasn’t been set—but there’s plenty of concrete and steel to accom-pany shelving and registers at its upcoming location.

Williston Mayor Howard Klug toured the site Friday with Granite Peak Devel-oper Terry Metzler, who is spearheading the Sand Creek Town Centre project.

One of the most-antici-pated store going vertical in Williston was scheduled to open in April, but a corpo-rate-wide redesign of the interior was implemented to include mezzanine aisle storage, delaying the 5-year project likely until June.

Once the building struc-ture is complete, Metzler said it will take about a month to reach full stock. And as one of the largest re-tail Menards in the nation, the stock will be plentiful.

“This is what we’ve been waiting for,” Klug said. “It’s like we stepped up to the big leagues. This will be a big draw from Montana.”

The 20-acre site is more than 180,000 square feet and will have an 80,000-square-foot warehouse and a lum-beryard with three drive-thru lanes. It is also one of the first in the retail chain to feature an enclosed home and garden center.

But scale is only part of the forward momentum it will provide for the city and Sand Creek.

Much of the development was hinging on the big box store’s arrival, with retail-ers signing deals while the ink was still drying on

Menards’ building permit. Metzler now has three hotels with land purchased, a furniture store, tobacco shop, Mailbox Solutions, the jewelry chain Riddle’s out of South Dakota all ready to come in, along with Sports-man’s Warehouse, which is expected to open this summer.

Four years ago, Sand Creek was an almost-un-touchable piece of land for developers, who tried to buy the massive acreage piece by piece until Granite Peak snatched the majority.

At the time the city had no infrastructure on that side of the highway, and Sand Creek came together through a private-city-state partnership. The city provided the infrastructure and Gov. Jack Dalrymple put in a rush on the Depart-ment of Transportation

to install traffic lights and improvements.

And that is the nature of developing in Williston: Numerous hoops to jump through and cooperation from many different forces.

“They didn’t come here for our dreams,” Metzler said. “There’s a focus on this area because it wraps into the critical mass. You have to be by the critical mass.”

Critical mass, he explains, is direct routes to 26th Street and Harvest Hills, U.S Highway 85, 139th Street near Baker Hughes, the site of the new high school and the proposed site set aside for St. Joseph’s School.

Klug said 139th Street was built several years ago with a development at Sand Creek’s location in mind. He added that he expects 11th Street to connect to the proj-ect in the next few years,

offering further connectiv-ity to the hospital, current fire station and downtown Williston.

“Eleventh Street will be awfully sweet,” he said. “Traffic patterns will change, but for the better.”

In a perfect-case scenario, Metzler envisions Sand Creek fully-finished or under construction in four years, and perfect precludes hopes that energy prices rebound. He said there are a lot of companies on the fence until that time, but is confident the mix of retail and housing will fill in.

“We have a huge invest-ment in this project,” Metzler said. “The city has a huge investment and the state has a huge investment. All of this is coming togeth-er because we’ve got focus.”

WILLISTON — Willis-ton Crossing's next public hurdle would have involved obtaining building permits from Williams County. Most likely, however, it’ll be seek-ing those from Williston after all.

City officials sent a letter notifying Williams County and relevant township of-ficials that the city plans to exercise its 1-mile extra-ter-ritorial jurisdiction around the entire city.

There will be a meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Williston City Hall for a zoning transition meeting, as required by North Dakota law. City staff will review existing zoning rules, regu-lations and restrictions in place in the territory and provide a plan for orderly transition.

Mayor Howard Klug acknowledged the timing might make it seem the move is aimed at Stropiq's $500 million mixed-use development, which lies within the 1-mile jurisdic-tion. However, there are bigger issues than just Wil-liston Crossing within the territory.

"This is about the future of the city of Williston," Klug said, "and what's going on in the extra territorial jurisdic-tion. If and when we annex it, we want to make sure it's something we can bring into the city to our standards."

New downtown parking rules to start May 1

Jerry Burnes/Williston Herald

New city parking rules are aimed at keeping customers on the street and employees in city lots.

BISMARCK (AP) — A North Dakota man accused of holding up a Williston bank last fall says he will plead guilty to a federal charge.

A plea agreement calls for 57-year-old Drew Cahours, of Watford City, to admit to bank robbery. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.

Authorities say the rob-bery happened on Nov. 13. Cahours allegedly handed a First International Bank teller a note that read, "Don't say anything or there will be trouble."

Investigators say the rob-bery netted about $1,400.

A federal public defender was not available for com-ment.

full enforcement begins May 18.

The parking committee helped design the rules, which were approved by the Williston City Commis-sion as an addendum to the Downtown Plan earlier this year. The committee and city hired Rich & Associates to conduct a study on turn-over and occupancy rates in downtown lots and on the streets. They also surveyed 1,000 people and received 400 responses with recommen-dations on how to improve parking.

“Parking was an issue from the start,” Ressler said, detailing the process of the Downtown Plan and imple-mentation of the study.

The new rules will keep parking downtown free, but put timed spots on some city streets: 90-minute parking between Front Street and 6th Street, and 3-hour parking on 1st Avenue East and West.

Lots will be aimed at em-ployee parking for neighbor-ing businesses with residen-tial parking pass updates included in the plan. Lots adjacent to the post office, Service Drug and American

State Bank will each have eight 3-hour stalls.

“The idea is to get the right people parking in the right places,” Ressler added. “People on the streets should be customers because you want that space to turnover.”

Under the new rules, there will be no overnight parking in city lots without a resi-dential permit, but it will be allowed on the streets. Permits will be color coded based on where a resident lives in conjunction with the nearby lots. Beyond that, res-idential permits shouldn’t change beyond a slightly higher price, she said.

A ticket for parking over-night in a city lot will be $20.

Ressler said a letter will go out to property owners downtown this week and she will be making the rounds to businesses with Karissa Kjos of the Williston Down-towners Association to detail the rules and answer questions.

“We’re not trying to make it more difficult to park,” she added. “This should make it easier, actually.”

DOWNTOWN: Parking to remain free of costFROM PAGE A1

CoyoteCorner

BY ALIVIA LEWISWHS FRESHMAN

After we shook hands, sat down, and got familiar with each other, I asked Marlin a few questions that I had in mind.

“I’m going to ask you something, and I just want you to say the first thing that comes to your mind. Your greatest accomplish-ment, or favorite memory.”

He responded, “Being married for life. Always hav-ing someone.”

Marlin married Lois in 1956. They were happily married for 29 years. When thinking over their live together, he couldn’t think of a single time they fought. Together, they had two chil-dren: the first in 1965. They also have five grandchildren.

Together Marlin and Lois shared a passion for farm-ing. They loved their oc-cupation so much it seemed like a dream vacation. His benevolence towards his work, his wife, and life warmed my heart; I couldn’t help but smile as I listened to him talk about his world.

Besides farming, Marlin and Lois’s idea of a fun time was dancing. They were always dancing. But when summer came, they also enjoyed auto racing. It was what they did together. They sponsored their favorite racer and friend, Junkyard Dog who was an entertain-ing and a tough guy. “That’s how we were back then: Just livin in the fast lane.

Marlin’s favorite era was the 60’s. Nodding his head with satisfaction, “They were my prime” he claimed. At that time in his life, he understood that money wasn’t everything. But it was a time when they were financially stable. His farm was running smoothly, and they were happy.

Marlin was a hard worker, no doubt, who always liked to keep busy. A ball of fire. He farmed his entire life starting at a young age, but he also welded. He liked hands on work

During a time when Marlin was much younger, everyone was struggling with unemployment and de-pression. During this time he was farming, he heard a man say good luck trying to find a job. He didn’t believe it would be difficult, so that’s what he did one day. He went out and found two of ‘em within an hour. That was the kind of man he was: during rough times, he was the one to get work done.

Because Marlin had such a zest for life, I had a ques-tion that was on my mind. “What’s the most important thing in your life, or was?”

He quickly responded, “Well it ain’t money cuz I ain’t keepin it!” We laughed quite loud together. All of the nurses working around us would just look at us and smile in amusement

Once he was serious, he responded, “Actually enjoy-ing the life” motioning his

hands a lot. After talking with him for a short while, I could see that this was true. He was someone who spent time enjoying life and the people around him.

Those words are simple, but effective. And I knew exactly what he meant when he said that to me. What he meant was that we shouldn’t take any day for granted because life is precious and short. So sample it. One day, you won’t wake up and be that young, carefree kid any-more. You’ll have some grey hairs, and your body won’t be able to move as fast as it could when you would dance. But what you will always have is your memories. And those will never age. So make them worth the thought.

When I had to leave, Mar-lin shook my hand with both his hands goodbye. My time with Marlin will be sweetly and gratefully treasured for-ever. Marlin was a breath of fresh air, and he opened my eyes to another perspective on life. I loved looking into his eyes when he would tell me about his life, because they were always filled with so much light and happi-ness. I saw stuff in him that I want for myself, to have a passion, a strong endurance, and always a favorable sense of humor in life. People sometimes talk about the power of first impressions, and believe me, there is truth to it.

Marlin is a man of drive, determination, and passion.

The following are samples of some of the biographies created after interviewing residents at Bethel Lutheran Home. While some of the students were initially nervous to interview someone, their fears were quickly alleviated as they were warmly welcomed by the Bethel residents. The task of writing about someone else proved to be more difficult than they initially thought. They were clouded with worries about getting enough detail, being respectful of memories, and fairly depicting these amazing people. We hope that these tributes speak justice to the wonderful lives they represent. Please enjoy these small glimpses into Williston’s past. Stories continue on page A8.

Inside the Hungarian train’s dining car.

BY BEN VIENTFOR THE HERALD

I wake early to travel from Vienna to Bratislava, to connect to this Hungar-ian train as it journeys 400 miles north to Berlin across Slovakia, the Czech Repub-lic and Germany on tracks laid mostly before the World Wars and maintained since.

The plane is faster, the car can be cheaper. But how should we value transporta-tion considerations that are not immediately quantifiable?

Because, I’m learning, when I hunger for great human experiences, nothing satisfies me as much as the dining car of a train as it rambles through the lands.

In pops a middle-aged wom-an in a neon pink T-shirt. She surveys the 1980s-like dining car, painted electric purple and mustard, and looks at ease, at least with her day’s T-shirt selection.

“Do you have a menu we can look at?” she asks in boisterous English.

“Yes, very good Hungarian food,” the older Hungarian waiter replies, trying to raise himself to her level of extroversion.

She is enticed: “Oh yes, such as..?”

“We have a wonderful Hungarian fish,” the waiter gushes.

The woman recoils at the thought of eating fish in the land-locked region. On a train. “Why don’t I take a look at the menu?” she counters.

“Yes, of course, where are you from?” the waiter asks, reaching for a menu from the service area.

“Australia,” she says. “Ah, kangaroo,” the

waiter’s eyes light up while handing her the menu as though awkwardly announc-ing the day’s special.

The woman pauses at this thought, grabs the menu and declares “we’ll take a look at the menu and come back later,” before retreating to her seatmates. She returns shortly after, and asks only for nuts. Pre-packaged.

A lunchtime crowd begins appearing. Lunchtime seems to exist in a time zone all its own, a time when the spinning world pauses and individuals’ internal clocks become ruled by the com-monality of hunger.

Two young Swedes saunter into the dining car appar-ently so hungry that they forgot to put on their shoes. The woman has a flower in her blonde hair. The man’s badly shaved head has so many ingrown hairs that it appears seeded, and some flower, too, will sprout from his head any day now.

They fawn over each other, and then when their Wie-nerschnitzel arrives, fawn over their food: “We can get schnitzel up north in Scan-danavia, but not Wiener-schnitzel.”

“The difference?” I ask. “Something about Vienna,

something pork versus something chicken versus something veal,” they begin trying to explain. Their vague answer leaves me hun-gering for Wikipedia.

“Mostly,” they concede, “we ordered this because it comes with French fries.” Apparently, because despite all the talk about schnitzel, it sits abandoned on their plates while they lap the fries into ketchup, and then into each other’s mouths.

Soon it is afternoon coffee time. The Hungarian waiter turns to the two Slovakian train attendants entering the dining car. He offers each an espresso, joking at the men-tion of the word “gratis,” a foreign word understood in both languages. The relaxed atmosphere allows the friendly interaction, which contrasts to the recent coverage of political tension between the two nationali-ties. They share an espresso and a laugh, satisfying a hunger for both caffeine and camaraderie.

As we approach our desti-nation, a young Hungarian man begins stretching a vac-uum over the dining car’s coarse rug. He’s dressed in

the Hungarian rail waiter uniform of dark vest, white shirt and dark pants. He tells me that he is only a “guest waiter” this day. His friend, a regular waiter in this din-ing car, invited him after the third waiter called in sick for the weekend journey to Berlin. He’s here as a sub-stitute. It’s an opportunity to earn extra money on the weekend, and in financially-embattled Hungary, that’s a craving felt by many.

As the train arrives in the station, he returns to the dining car’s kitchen to finish cleaning. I say goodbye as I walk pass toward the exit.

“Maybe see you again,” he offers, submerging a dirty cloth into dirtier water. “I work during the week in downtown Budapest at the Ministry of Finance.”

His last words make my jaw drop as I shuffle by: A government finance em-ployee moonlights on the heavily-indebted public railway system?

As I finish this journey, his encounter overshadows all others today. It reminds me how so many discussions in our modern world circle back to financial consider-ations, in so many spheres, including this topic of transportation. Are we ad-equately striking a balance between the qualitative and quantifiable considerations, when it comes to discussions of train development? What does this say about our soci-ety, our humanity?

Stepping off the train’s dining car, I’m left hunger-ing for answers.

Arrive “On the Rails” into Berlin, Germany, here next Sunday, April 19.

JURISDICTION: Code issues prompt filingFROM PAGE A1

Klug recalled the problems after the man camps were recently taken into the city in the Northern Annexa-tion. They had to be retrofit-ted with expensive sprinkler systems and two of the camps were shut down after missing the deadline. One is contesting the decision in court, which means legal fees for all concerned.

"With the perceived slow-down, we're putting more people on board so we can actually go take a look at what is going on out there in the 1-mile," Klug said. "So, if and when something hap-pens out there, at least we will know we did the best we could to make sure every-thing is up to standards."

Klug said Stropiq's devel-opment is now zoned the

way it needs to be zoned and will not have to refile with the city.

"They have an issue with an access point on 2 and 85, but that is between them and the DOT," Klug said. "Their building permits will have to be filed with the city, and they'll have to let the city planning and zoning take a look at their plans and how the streets are laid out and so forth."

Williams County Chair-man David Montgomery said he believes Stropiq would love to be in the city anyway.

"I hope they're given it a fair shake," he said. "They've addressed all the city's issues. They've hired the very best people they can to do this with them, and it's clear to me that they want to do this right. They're not

just coming here to get the property and leave. I see nothing but positive with the project."

Stropiq principle Terry Olin said he hopes this is being done to avoid future situations in which the city and county disagree on mat-ters near the city.

"It would be very disap-pointing, not only to us, but to the citizens of Williston and the much broader region Williston Crossing would serve, if the idea is to kill our project solely for the protection of a small number of land developers with too much unsold inven-tory,” Olin said. “We like to believe our city officials are above that and our recent entitlement is not chal-lenged."

MOORHEAD, Minn. — A West Fargo, man is accused in the gang-related beating of a Moorhead man just as it was being announced that a multiagency street crimes unit has been formed to fight gang activity in the Fargo-Moorhead metro area.

At the scene of the fight, documents say the victim's girlfriend told police her boyfriend was jumped by several people after tension built up between her boy-friend and one of the men in the group. The boyfriend fled, but was caught by the other men, who knocked

him down and began beat-ing him. Evan Kuntz, 19, pulled a gun from his waist-band, documents say.

The victim told police that when Kuntz pointed the gun at him, he said, "I'll pop a

cap in you, it's all about the Crips."

The victim, a Latin King, said his conflict began with another man in the fight who had recently returned after spending time in prison.

PerspectiveDavid

Shribman

The Canadian healh care revolution

A week ago, the Williston Herald Editorial Board touched on the topic of Stropiq’s $500 million development planned for the county.

Within it we mentioned what we felt was a possible conflict of interest between the project and Commissioner Wayne Aberle, who we named as an employee of Mountrail-Williams Electric, which would service Stropiq.

The mention sparked some talk that needs to be addressed and clarified.

After speaking with Mr. Aberle this week, we learned he is not a direct employee of MWEC, but an independent contractor who comes and goes with the company, and would receive no direct benefits from voting for MWEC projects.

From our end, we did not clarify that fact with him in our rush to complete the editorial before Tuesday morning’s vote, which we re-gret. But we still feel the potential for a conflict of interest existed and needed to be addressed, though it didn’t come off as the intended infor-mational tidbit about the players in the vote.

Mr. Aberle pointed out he’s voted on hun-dreds of projects in the county, all of which MWEC would service because it holds the contracts on county projects. And after speak-ing to him this week, we are confident his votes on projects are not coming from forces above him, nor is he the hired gun on the commission of MWEC.

With that said, however, we feel that its best practice for our elected public officials—in this case and others—to avoid any question of con-flict of interest through transparency.

It’s unreasonable to think Mr. Aberle needs to recite his relationship with MWEC before ev-ery single project vote, but public acknowledge-ment of the relationship is a sign of good faith for the community, many whom are new to the area with no recognition of our officials’ ties.

That goes for all our elected officials.We understand in small communities that it

is sometimes impossible to avoid a potential conflict between voting commissioners and ser-

vice providers. And until Williston has a surge of qualified residents willing to take office, that line will continue to be toed.

We take the role of community watchdog for Williston and Williams County very seriously, and will be raising the question about our of-ficials’ relationships with projects and votes more often moving forward.

We feel we were correct to address the con-flict of interest potential. The fact Mr. Aberle admitted that he never thought the relation-ship could be an issue tells us confronting it was ultimately the right thing.

Even though the method was not best prac-tices on our end.

Our piece last weekend was not an attempt to dirty Mr. Aberle’s name or take a cheap shot when we saw an opening. It was simply a mis-understanding we failed to properly clarify.

We stand by the intent of mentioning his relationship with MWEC and the editorial as a whole.

Right here, at 814 Sas-katchewan Crescent in the Nutana residential neigh-borhood of Saskatoon, rests a small historical plaque that for months of the year is covered by snow -- but that tells a story that transformed Saskatchewan in the early 1960s, spread to the other nine provinces of Canada by 1970 and, in the past decade, reached across the 49th parallel to Barack Obama’s America.

It is the story of uni-versally accessible public medical insurance, and the irony is that its beginning in this peaceable kingdom was marked by anger, resentment, protests, and a 23-day doctors’ strike that affected 79 hospitals and imperiled the health of hundreds of thousands of people. And it was in this tiny house that Dr. Samuel Wolfe planned a remarkable medical airlift that im-ported doctors from Great Britain into this prairie province -- a desperate but effective gambit that helped bring an end to the doctors’ strike and assure the future of government health insurance.

Today that government-sponsored medical insur-ance is a vital element of the Canadian economic and cultural landscape -- “part,” as Daphne Taras, dean of the Edwards School of Business at University of Saskatchewan, puts it, “of who we are as a country.”

But its birth was difficult and controversial, so much so that during the crisis William G. Davies, the provincial health minister, slept with a 10-gauge shot-gun at his side, and Clyne Harradence, a prominent lawyer from the central Saskatchewan city of Prince Albert, said, “I’m sure if I suggested that people go out and get their guns and deal with the legislation in that fashion, they’d have done it.”

This is not language one hears in Canada every day.

The crisis -- and govern-ment health insurance for all of North America -- began after Saskatchewan elected to office in 1944 the Co-operative Common-wealth Federation, the first socialist government in Canada.

The CCF’s charismatic leader, Tommy Douglas, proposed the health care measure at the beginning of the 1960s, promising, in language much like that employed by Hillary Rodham Clinton in 1993 and Obama in 2009, that “you will choose the surgeon

and you will choose the special-ist.” The province’s doctors argued that the legisla-tion would render them slaves and, in a pam-phlet now resting in the files of the Sas-katchewan Archives, contended that “deci-sions affecting you ... would be subject to POLITICAL considerations bearing no relation to your NEEDS.”

Before long, signs ap-peared in medical suites: “This office will be closed after July 1st, 1962. We do not intend to carry on practice under the Sas-katchewan Medical Care Insurance Act.”

Dr. A.B. Voth, a leading member of the Saskatoon medical society, told CFQC television: “This plan pre-pared by the government, no matter what the govern-ment says, is much more than just medical insur-ance. It places the control of medicine in the hands of the government and its appointees. And this we can never accept.”

The Saskatchewan Col-lege of Physicians and Sur-geons called the measure “peacetime conscription.”

But for all the voices like that of Louis J. Genesove, a Moose Jaw doctor who was assistant director of the Ca-nadian Council on Hospital Accreditation and who called the plan “cunningly con-trived and viciously propa-gandized,” there were others, from the Farmers’ Union Ladies Lodge, the Saskatch-ewan Wheat Pool Committee and the Board of Federated Co-operatives, who wrote the provincial premier with unstinting support.

With 90 percent of Saskatchewan’s doctors on strike, Dr. Wolfe imple-mented his medical airlift plan, and a flood of British doctors entered the prov-ince to support what Time magazine called “a country cousin of Britain’s Nation-al Health Service.” Mean-while, a women’s organi-zation called “Keep Our Doctors” rallied against the measure in Regina, the provincial capital, some of the protesters holding plac-ards reading “Democracy is Threatened.”

Leading the opposition was the Liberal Party chief, W. Ross Thatcher. “The socialists say, ‘Elect us, even with a 35 percent majority, and we will ram a scheme down your throat,’” said Thatcher, who, in a celebrated incident, tried to

kick in a door in the provin-cial capital. He later served as provincial premier from 1964 to 1971.

Shortly after the medi-cal legislation was passed, Douglas left office to head the newly formed New Democratic Party and in that role often defended Canada’s health care system. “Our friends in the United States are spending 9 percent of their gross na-tional product ... on health care and 34 million of their people have no health care coverage,” he once said. “And in Canada we spend 7 percent of our gross nation-al product, and every man, woman and child in Canada is covered by Medicare.”

A 2004 public poll by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. named Douglas, who died in 1986, as the Greatest Canadian. Terry Fox, the amputee athlete who sought to run across Canada in 1980 to aid cancer research, was runner-up, followed by former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

In recent years Canadi-ans have complained about wait times, especially for elective procedures such as knee replacements and diagnostic tests such as mammograms. (Indeed, one study found that wait times doubled between 1993 and 2013.) But the point -- acknowledged across the border by almost every-one, Obamacare critic and supporter alike, with the exception of Sen. Ted Cruz, the Republican presidential candidate born in Canada -- is that once government-mandated health insurance is instituted, it very likely is never going away.

That’s the lesson for all of North America from one of the continent’s most remote outposts, a place so iso-lated it has its own peculiar vernacular, for nowhere else on earth does the phrase “bunny hug” -- elsewhere applied to an early 20th-cen-tury ragtime dance -- mean a hooded sweatshirt with a front pocket. You could look it up (but you’ll need the Ca-nadian Oxford Dictionary).

“When we think of Saskatchewan as being the most Canadian of provinces, it is medical insurance that’s one of the elements, because it speaks of our empathy for others,” says Rob Norris, a Saskatchewan provincial legislator. “When it’s minus 40 degrees out here on the prairies, neighbors have to look after one another, and it’s that sense of compas-sion and community that makes us Canada.”

Letter to the editor

I am writing about the recent Fargo Forum's publishing of names and photos of area representatives who voted against the SB 2279 bill.

The Forum and Jamestown Sun were tirelessly bash-ing these people and they only are standing up for our first amendment rights! Personally, I want to thank these people because they are looking out for our constitutional rights!

If this bill had been passed, people who owned their own business would be subject to fines or prosecution, and I am sorry but if you own your own business then you should be able to make your own business decisions.

If you want to paint the walls a different color or who you do business with.

The government interferes enough in our daily lives these days with government run health care, etc. This bill would have only made it worse! It also would have been an open door for pedophiles as can be seen in other states with this bill in place.

Our state already has a huge problem with sex traffick-ing and we did not need another black eye with this law. We need to protect our children and grandchildren. This law would have probably led to trans gender bathrooms as I hear are being set up in California.

Would you want your child or grandchild in a bathroom with someone who is of the opposite sex just because they feel more comfortable going in another bathroom that is not of their gender?!

Even an adult woman going to the restroom finding a man in there because he feels more comfortable in the women's restroom?! I find it appalling that muslims in a New York bakery can refuse to serve gay weddings and nothing is said but when a Christian refuses business to someone that all of a sudden they are in the wrong?! How does that work?!

Is there a war on Christians in this country or what?! God instructs us to love everyone but let's not sugar coat things here because God also warns us of taking away or adding to His word.

God loves each of us but He does not always love what we do. He loves a thief and a murderer but He does not like what they have done or are doing with their lives. If God would have wanted two men or two women together, He would have had them in the garden of Eden in the begin-ning, but it was a man and a woman.

Two men and two women cannot conceive children together nor can two animals of the same sex because it is unnatural and not how God designed us. Romans 1:18-32 does not sugar coat anything.

Again, I am thankful for these brave representatives who voted no on SB 2279! They were clearly looking out for our first amendment rights and the future of our state.

FARGO — U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., says he's pleased the Canadian government has decided to discontinue its penalties for Class I railroads in Canada if they fail to move mini-mum weekly grain volumes, but he says they could resume any time.

Canadian Transport Minister Lisa Raitt and Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz on March 28 said Canada wouldn't renew its requirement for Canadian Pacific Railway Co. and BNSF Railway. The Fair Rail for Grain Farmers Act was enacted in May 2014 and was extended on Aug. 1, requir-ing each rail company to move 536,250 tons per week through Nov. 29, 2014. The act was extended through March 28.

"When I met with Cana-dian Ambassador Gary Doer and Canadian Minis-ter of Natural Resources Greg Rickford in my office in January, I made it very clear I hoped the Cana-dian government would not

renew these grain shipping requirements," Cramer says. "I'm glad they were allowed to expire."

‘CLEAR VIOLATION’Cramer says he thinks

the Canadian rail ship-ping mandate constituted a “clear violation of the non discrimination and fair trade principles laid out by the World Trade Organiza-tion.” The requirements gave Canadian farmers an “unfair advantage, as well as contributed to the grain car backlog experienced by North Dakota's producers.”

The congressman says the last time Canada extended the mandates was a “minor victory” because standards were reduced. He says the Canadians have reserved the right to reinstate the mandates.

In Montreal, Walter Spracklin, a transportation analyst with RBC Capital Markets, told the Canadian Press he hopes the decision not to renew the mandates means the government won't put them into perma-nent law in the Canadian Transportation Act. In 2014, Canadian National Railway and CP exceeded the mini-mum volume of 50 million tons of grain by 5.5 million tons.

Spracklin speculates the discontinuation of the requirements means they might not have been effec-tive. CN officials say normal commercial relationships and stable regulation are the best way to make sure the railroad functions properly. CN had exceeded mandated volumes by 12 percent.

Railroads paid $150,000 in fines for failing to meet their minimum volumes in 2014. CP is protesting a $50,000 fine on grounds that delays were beyond its con-trol. The railroads reported that Western Canadian shipments from ports were 31 percent higher than a year before, and 25 percent higher than the five-year average, according to the government.

‘PERFECT STORM’Cramer says the Canadian

mandates were just one of the many factors in a “per-fect storm,” working against

U.S. farmers and their grain elevators in the past year.

Jim Broten, a farmer from Dazey, N.D., and chairman of the North Dakota Ag-ricultural Business Rail Council, says the Canadian mandates took a few cars from the U.S. at peak times.

“Mandates do funny things,” he says, adding he doesn't know how much the oil freight has really slowed down.

Currently, shuttle loaders are satisfied to the point that the secondary market for shuttles is “almost non-existent.” Some single-car orders still aren't coming fast enough, but Broten says, “There will always be a certain number of those, because of the logistics — like waiting in line at the airport.”

Still, the council has scheduled a May 8 meeting in Fargo with John Miller, vice president of agricultur-al freight for BNSF. Broten notes that the railroads did “a great job” last fall mov-ing the region's soybeans to the Pacific Northwest.

Cramer says the dropped mandate, as well as lower commodity prices, lower oil prices, and a warmer, more open winter have helped alleviate shipping delays for grain. He says BNSF Railway, especially, also has increased its staffing and is making significant infra-structure improvements.

PROGRESS In its weekly podcast

report on March 27, BNSF Railway said there had been no significant service interruptions in the previ-ous week, but the company was monitoring frost heave situations between Minot and Grand Forks in North Dakota, and between Mitch-ell and Canton in South Dakota.

Pacific Northwest shuttles vital to the Dakotas are hitting 2.8 trips per month, which is faster than the 2.5 target shuttle-loaders say they typically need for high-volume, premium service to be justified. North Dakota had 621 past-due cars dur-ing the period, averaging 9.9 days late — still about half of the 1,271 past-dues reported throughout the country. Mon-tana's past-dues were 284, late an average of 10.8 days.

In its weekly report to the U.S. Surface Transportation Board, CP said it had no cars late in North Dakota, and hasn't had any since Feb. 9, 2014.

Health Talk with Lynn

Painful and stiff joints may be signs of arthritis. It is crucial to knowwhich type of arthritis you have because there are important differences,particularly in management and treatments.Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common type of arthritis and is seenespecially among older people. In OA, the cartilage covering bone jointswears away, causing swollen joints and painful movement.Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) also causes painful, swollen joints, but itoccurs when the body’s immune system attacks the lining of joints.

Symptoms of Osteoarthritis (OA):Osteoarthritis starts slowly. You may notice the first symptoms as jointpain or stiffness after exercising. It can occur in any joint, but OA mostoften affects the knees, hands, hips and spine.

Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA):Regular morning joint stiffness, affecting several joints.Persistent joint pain that does not improve, and gets worse over time.Joints that are swollen, red, hot or tender to the touch.Joint pain accompanied by fever.

Treatment Approaches to OsteoarthritisPain-relieving analgesic pills or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs areavailable over-the-counter and may be used for pain relief. Stronger painrelief may be provided by prescription medications. Most people don’tneed surgery for OA, but for those who haven’t responded well to othertreatments, joint replacement surgery may be an option.

Treatment of Rheumatoid ArthritisPrescription medication NSAIDS are often used to treat RA. Prednisone,prednisolone and methylprednisolone are potent and quick-actingprescription medications used to get inflammation under control quickly.The Arthritis Foundation advises that RA should be treated early. If thesemedications are used early, they can help prevent severe joint damage.

Police have arrested a Williston man in connection with an armed robbery after police say the accused tried to stiff a cab driver of the fare.

Anthony Jacob Lewis, 31, faces multiple charges in the case in the Northwest Judicial District, including felony robbery, misdemeanor possession of marijuana par-aphernalia and of marijuana and misdemeanor assault.

According to an affidavit of probable cause, police responded at 12:50 a.m. to an assault call in the area of 11th Avenue West and Fifth Street West, where they encountered an injured man named Francis Yaw Adjel.

Adjel identified Lewis as his assailant and told police he'd picked the man up in his cab, driving him to a residence in the 400 block of 11th Street, according to the affidavit.

Two pipeline projects in western North Dakota received approval from the North Dakota Industrial Commission on Wednesday for permits to increase the overall capacity of their systems in the Bakken.

The first, submitted by Hiland Crude, LLC, is a 13-mile, 12-inch diameter crude oil pipeline in McK-enzie County.

The $10.5 million pipe-line project interconnects with Hiland's existing Market Center pipeline and will be built entirely within Market Center's ex-isting corridor and trans-ports crude from smaller gathering systems and truck facilities to existing rail and pipeline destina-tions.

The project will increase the capacity of Hiland's systems by 65,000 barrels

per day and potentially up to 100,000 barrels per day in the future.

The second, submitted by OneOK Partners, is for a 4.4-mile six-inch diameter natural gas liquids line from the Hay Butte Gas Plant to the Bakken NGL Pipeline owned by Caliber Midstream Parners, L.P. and located about 7 miles southeast of Alexander.

The $1.8 million pipeline has been constructed but isn't operational.

It was to have been a gathering line from well pads along the route, but is being permitted for use as a transmission line with a maximum capacity of 21,000 barrels per day.

Gathering lines do not need siting permits from the North Dakota Industri-al Commission, but trans-mission lines do.

Oil brief: Bakken pipeline projects will up capacity

BY CADIE BAKKENWHS SENIOR

The other day, I had the great pleasure of mak-ing the acquaintance of one Orvella, and boy did she make an impression. I walked in not knowing what to expect when a nice little old lady walked over to meet me. I could tell im-mediately by her presence she was a dynamo. I was immediately treated with hospitality and kindness. Orvy offered me a seat, and we started chatting. One of the first things we did was exchange names. I learned hers. When she asked me mine I told her. We were both very excited to find out she knew my grandfa-ther and his entire family. She had gone to church with them in a little town called Bonetrail, North Da-kota. This shared history was interesting for both of us, and it excited me all the more about interviewing Orvella about her life.

Orvella was born in 1922 in Minnesota, one of 12 children. Her family moved to North Dakota in 1923. She has lived here ever since. Orvy grew up in the midst of the dirty thirties; her family had to stick together through the hard times. I asked what her favorite childhood memory was.

Orvy told me a story

about when her mother canned food at the end of summer. The rain just wouldn’t come, every-thing was so dry, the only thing that could grow was tumbleweeds and Russian thistles. They would just blow around in the wind and get caught on fences, sometimes the dirt would blow up around them. It would get so heavy the fences would fall down un-der the weight of the dirt. Orvy’s family had a farm, but the crops wouldn’t grow because there was no rain. She remembered hauling water to her moth-er’s garden every day from the well so her mother would have vegetables to can when fall came around.

Orvy attended school in a one room school house, and went to church in Bonetrail, North Dakota. She went to high school in Grenora for two years and then had to drop out for medical reasons. When Orvy got better, she began work in her father’s store, in her opinion that was the best education she could have received.

Orvella married her husband in 1949. They had a long married life, rarely if ever did they fight. Until the year 1994 Orvella and Arnold lived and traveled together, it was in 1994 that

Arnold passed away. Her wish for all the young folks when she attends wed-dings is that they may live as happily together as she and Arnold had. Orvy and her husband had a passion for traveling that was their hobby. By staying away from the drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes they saved enough money to travel the world. They visited Norway seven times to-gether because they had family there. They also traveled to Australia and New Zealand. In Australia there was a chance to ride in a glass bottomed boat. According to Orvy it was spectacular: all the differ-ent sorts of fish and the multitude of shapes and sizes.

Orvella loves people, some of the most interest-ing things she has done in her life include volunteer-ing in the cancer unit and in her church, working in her father’s country store, and traveling the world twice over with her husband. Orvella has a big heart and lots of hope. Even though the world isn’t what it used to be, it will get better eventually. It is saddening to her that the world can’t be like it used to and that there are so few farmers left in the country. Orvella still owns her farm,

but doesn’t want to be a burden on her family. For that reason she has made Bethel Lutheran Nurs-ing Home her permanent residence. She believes in common sense, morals, honesty, and respect. Orvy has lived a long and happy life. Because of her bright outlook on life, she man-ages to live without any regrets. The only thing Or-vella wishes would change is the fact that Williston is a greedy city. She has lived through the boom and bust before in 1952 and in the 1980’s and the greed of people in this town bothers her very much. One thing Orvy prays for is that there will be more love through-out the world, because it certainly needs it.

At 92 years of age, Orvy has no intention of slow-ing down anytime soon; She’s happy with her life. She doesn’t have to cook or clean for anybody, which for Orvella is certainly a delight. Overall Orvella is a woman worth knowing, she is interesting to talk to, and she can show you scrapbooks of history that boggle the mind because they include people you may actually know.

Imbued with lots of spunk Orvella is by far one of the most fascinating women I have ever met.

The Greatest Woman in the World, or something close to it.

Lyn is a kind, humorous, truthful, and understand-ing women. She was born and raised in Williston, North Dakota. She mar-ried.

Together they parented seven kids.

Like anyone else born and raised in this town, she has seen changes. As a child, she loved to be out in the field with her Dad, getting dirty was the least of her worries.

Unlike the other girls, she loved to play in the mud; she loved to bring her mother all different kinds of things from the creek.

Lyn has plenty of funny childhood memories. She fondly remembers a family trip to a friend’s house. There was a dugout and bush where a bunny lived. Jumping out from the bushes, the bunny started running, and the children chased the bunny. Eventu-ally the children captured the bunny. When it was time to go, they gathered in the truck.

The children snuck the bunny into the vehicle. They were holding down the bunny and hiding it beneath a blanket.

Because the bunny wasn’t ecstatic about the experience, it caused a ruckus in the back seat causing their dad to turn and ask, “What’s going

on?” The kids innocently replied “nothing.” When the excitement in the back continued, it attracted the attention of both parents. This time her dad asked firmly “what’s going on?” The kids unveiled their secret, revealing the bunny. Their Dad quickly told the kids to put the wild animal outside. The kids listened as they were told. Lyn’s eyes sparkled with laugh-ter as she retold her tale.

Lyn describes her family as loving. They’re a lot like me, not only very caring of others, but also very independent. She describes herself as one word: me. To those who know Lyn, she’s known as the owl lady.

She has been collecting owls since she was a very young girl.

In her room at Bethel, there are owls every-where: on her walls, on her windows, everywhere. She even has boxes of owls at her brother’s house: just so many owls. Some people describe her as very outspoken- someone who doesn’t hold back when something needs to be said.

The truth of who Lyn is resides in her caring soul. If she possessed a super power, Lyn would want a power to heal others who need help.

Lyn is definitely a tough nut, but she’s also humble, sweet, and has the goofiest laugh which brings a smile to your soul.

The Owl Lady

BY JAMES MACPHERSONASSOCIATED PRESS

BISMARCK (AP) — North Dakota's Legislature is headed down the ses-sion's home stretch but first must find consensus on a host of spending plans and other last-minute measures before the state constitution's 80-day limit is imposed.

North Dakota's House and Senate have worked through several conten-tious measures this session, including expanding places where concealed-carry per-mit holders can pack heat. Lawmakers also have shot down a bill that would have prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation in housing, government, public services and the workplace.

The Legislature also has hammered through some seemingly lesser legisla-tion like rejecting a mea-sure that would have given North Dakotans a nine-day head start over nonresi-dents to trap muskrats, those furry little rodents with a musk-like odor.

Both chambers, though, still have dozen measures to work through, includ-ing all remaining two-year budget bills for state agen-cies, programs and the Legislature itself.

RAIL SAFETY FUNDING

One of the more politi-cally interesting issues at the Capitol this session is proposed funding for a rail safety program in the Pub-lic Service Commission's budget.

The PSC wants $972,000 in the next two-year budget cycle to fund the program that included two rail safety inspectors and a rail safety manager to supple-ment inspections by the Federal Railroad Adminis-tration.

The program had been a campaign platform for Republican Public Service Commissioner Julie Fe-dorchak when she ran for the position last year. GOP Gov. Jack Dalrymple also had included the funding for the program in his bud-get to help prevent oil train accidents, like the one that happened in his hometown of Casselton that left an ominous cloud over the city and led some residents to evacuate.

But House budget writers have stripped the funding, with many Republicans saying it's unneeded and duplicates efforts of the federal government.

Democrats are blasting the move, calling it a bro-ken promise.

The full House may de-cide the issue this week.

LEGISLATIVE ACTION

Some 213 bills remained Friday morning, about 90 fewer than a week ago. That compares with about 259 bills that were still undone during the same period in

the 2013 session.Gov. Jack Dalrymple had

been sent 299 bills as of Fri-day. Lawmakers began the session with 853 bills.

The House and Senate each plan three floor ses-

sions daily next week to plow through legislation.

Data show 337 bills have failed so far this session, compared with 291 bills that failed during the same period last session.

SINE DIEMonday is day 66 of the

session. North Dakota's Leg-islature ended the longest session in modern state history in 2013 when law-makers used the entire 80 days allowed by law to finish their work.

The 1975 Legislature finished its work in 53 days, the shortest session in modern history, and plowed through 1,309 bills and reso-lutions, or 456 more than this session.

Lawmakers in recent years have dealt with more complex issues and much more money.

The last day of the session is commonly called Sine Die, which means adjourn-ing without setting another meeting.

The halls of the Capitol are full of predictions when the session might end. Friendly wagers also are be-ing taken, even in the press office.

Most believe the session will end at about 75 days so that lawmakers have five days in the bank in case they need to reconvene later.

House Majority Leader Al Carlson keeps a "Days to 5" calendar next to his desk.

UND’s McIntyre wins Mike Richter Award as top goaltender

Legendary ND coach Greeno to be honored

GRAND FORKS (AP) — University of North Dakota goaltender Zane McIntyre has won the Mike Richter Award as the best goalie in college hockey.

He received the award Friday at the NCAA Fro-zen Four in Boston. UND was eliminated from the tournament with a 5-3 loss to Boston University on Thursday night.

The Boston Bruins draftee also is a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, given to the top player in college hockey.

WHS knocks off St. Mary’sHot bats lift Coyotes to first win of seasonBy Mark JoneSWilliSton HErAld

WILLISTON — In the preseason, many of the Williston baseball players expected the offense would eventually come around.

Did they expect it to arrive three games into the season? Who know for sure.

But the Williston High School baseball team picked up its first win

of the 2015 season Saturday after-noon with a 17-8 win over Bismarck St. Mary’s in Bismarck.

The Coyotes pounded out 17 hits to go along with their 17 runs. The big blow was an 11-run third inning, which saw 15 batters come to plate.

In the decisive third inning, Williston pounded out eight hits off of two St. Mary’s pitchers.

Caleb Owens had a two-run inside-the-park home run, while Bailey Zaste had a three-run triple.

Boston Horob, Austin Arndt and Joren Falcon also added doubles in the inning.

For the game, the Coyotes had unofficially 10-run scoring hits with two out.

Owens also had a two-out, two-run single in the first to get Williston on the scoreboard.

Owens also added a double in the third and scored a run.

For the game, Owens finished 3-for-5 at the plate with four RBIs and two runs scored.

Cole Weltikol had two singles for Williston and reached base six times.

Zaste also finished with three hits for the Coyotes. In addition to his three-run triple, he also added a RBI double in the sixth and finished with 4 RBIs.

Bradey Miller pitched four innings in relief of Zaste to earn the win.

Zaste pitched the first three in-nings, giving up six runs, all in the

third inning.Williston won defeated St. Mary’s

in the second game Saturday, 9-3. Falcon finished the contest 3-for-3 at the plate with a home run.

FRIDAy’S GAMeSThe Coyotes opened the season

Friday with a pair of losses at Bis-marck Century.

The Patriots won the opener 6-3 over Williston, while taking the sec-ond game, a nonconference contest 3-2.

In the opener, Century scored twice in both the first and third in-nings, while tacking on single runs in the second and sixth innings.

Williston scored all three of its runs in the sixth. Owens had a two-run double for Williston.

What to expect from spring sports seasonThere are always a

lot of questions and uncertainties at the

start of each sport season.Over the course of the past

week or so, I have been out and about visiting with vari-ous area coaches about the spring sports season.

Here is a breakdown by sport on what to expect from Williston area teams.SoFTbALL

Williston High has 32 girls for the first season of softball.

A great number of athletes, which makes me ask why Williston didn’t form softball sooner?

At the college level, Wil-liston State has suffered through some early-season injuries, which forced some forfeits.

Once the Lady Tetons get healthy, I would expect a deep postseason run by them.bASebALL

The Coyotes were picked last in the preseason polls by the coaches.

Williston seems to be bet-ter than that. The Coyotes will certainly have a lot to prove this season. And I think they will make some individuals second guess their preseason picks.

At the college level, the Tetons have a nice combina-tion of pitching and hitting.

The Tetons have won 12 straight games, entering their weekend series with Lake Region State College.

Much like the softball team, I expect the WSC base-ball to make a deep postsea-son run.TeNNIS

The Lady Coyotes return six of their top seven players from a season ago.

Williston opens season with 2 winsBy Mark JoneSWilliSton HErAld

WILLISTON — Williston High School girls tennis coach Wade Stueve feels his team has a chance to finish in the top four in the West Region this season.

The Lady Coyotes took a step in that direction by winning two of three matches Friday in Minot.

The Lady Coyotes defeated Minot (3-2) and Jamestown (4-1). Williston fell in the final match of the day to Bis-marck Century (4-1).

Williston’s Keyanna Enget went 3-0 on the day in No. 1 singles, which included a three-set win over Century’s Jamie Stoppler.

“Keyanna had a great match at No. 1 singles after losing a tough second set,” Stueve said of the Century match. “She kept her compo-sure and rallied back to win the third set.”

Williston will host Minot on Tuesday at the Davidson

Tennis Complex at 4 p.m.

to graduation, it would seem Williston is in prime posi-tion to earn a top four seed.

Williston made a state-ment Friday with a pair of wins over Minot and James-town.

In preseason polls, Willis-ton is picked second behind Bismarck Century.

After Friday’s perfor-mance, the Lady Coyotes are well on their way.

Track and FieldThe Lady Coyotes are deep

in the distance runs. However, Kayla

Bloomquist will likely make the most noise for Williston in the 100-, 200- and 400-me-ter dashes.

Expect Bloomquist to qualify for state in all three of those events, and should place high in those events.Boys GolF

The last of the Williston

High School spring sports to get started.

The Coyotes will open the season Monday at Dickin-son.

The Coyotes should be able to compete to be in the middle of the West Region standings.

School softball team opened the season this weekend with three losses at the West Fargo Invitational.

On Friday, the Lady Coy-otes lost 8-7 to Devils Lake, while losing 13-11 to Valley City and 17-7 to Grand Forks Central on Saturday.

Despite the losses, the Lady Coyotes showed a lot of positives.

“We had a lot more good things than bad,” said Willis-ton softball coach Jim Klein.

In the loss to Devils Lake, Emily Stewart, Katie Nice and Hannah McKenzie each went 3-for-4.

Kaia Wenstad and McKen-zie went 3-for-5 in the loss to Valley City.

Michelle Stewart went 2-for-3 for Williston in the loss to Grand Forks.

White Sox rally past Twins, 5-4CHICAGO (AP) — Pinch-hitter J.B.

Shuck’s tiebreaking RBI single in the eighth inning on Saturday helped the Chicago White Sox to their first win of the season.

Now he hopes the 5-4 victory over the Minnesota Twins is the start of something big.

“It’s a great feeling,” said Shuck, who drove in Alexei Ramirez. “It’s a good team-building win right here. I think we’re going to roll off this one.”

Shuck lined a 1-1 pitch from reliever Blaine Boyer (0-1) with two outs, scoring Ramirez. Conor Gillaspie was thrown out at the plate as he tried to score from second.

Former Yankees closer David Robertson struck out the side in the ninth for his first save with Chicago. The White Sox lost their first four games.

Left-hander Zach Duke (1-0) worked a scoreless eighth for the win.

In his first home start for the White Sox, Jeff Samardzija gave up four runs and eight hits in seven innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

White Sox first baseman Adam LaRoche snapped a 1-for-14 slump with his first home run of the season, leading off the second against Mike Pelfrey.

The Twins sent eight men to the plate in the second as Samardzija gave up four runs and five hits, including two for extra bases. Chris Herrmann tripled in a run while second baseman Brian Dozier doubled home another in a 35-pitch inning for Samardzija.

“I was in the middle of the plate too much there in the second,” Samardzija said. “I’m trying to be aggressive and get quick outs. . But I love the way I came back and made a couple adjustments and got on the edges and got down.”

The White Sox loaded the bases with none out in the third but managed just one run on Avisail Garcia’s infield single. But Ramirez grounded into a double play and Gillaspie grounded out to end the inning.

Geovany Soto tied it 4-all with a leadoff home run to left in the fourth, his first of the year.

Pelfrey, making his first start since May 1, 2014, departed after five innings.

spieth sets another scoring record, keeps lead at Masters

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Jordan Spieth finally slipped up, making an ugly double bogey at the 17th hole Saturday.

It wasn’t enough to keep him from setting another Masters scoring record.

With a brilliant up-and-down at the final hole, Spieth shot a 2-under 70 that gave him the lowest 54-hole score in tournament his-tory and sent him to the final round with a four-stroke lead.

Spieth’s total over three mostly brilliant days at Augusta National was 16-under 200, breaking the mark of 201 set by Raymond Floyd in 1976 and matched by Tiger Woods in 1997.

The 21-year-old Texan set the record even with a double bogey at the 17th, giving a glimmer of hope to those who’ll be chasing him Sunday.

“I thought 2 under would be a good score,” Spieth said. “Obviously I would have liked to finish the round a little better, but it could have been worse.”

Justin Rose birdied five of the last six holes for a 67 that got him into the final group with Spieth on Sunday. Rose was at 204 overall, and three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson was another stroke behind after shooting 67.

Spieth joined Tiger Woods as the only play-ers in Masters history to get to 18 under with

a birdie putt at the 16th hole, giving him a seven-stroke lead — his biggest yet.

Then, he showed he’s human.Spieth’s drive at the 17th wound up in the

trees, and his second shot came up short of the green. He flubbed a chip, barely mak-ing the green, and then three-putted for the double bogey.

He also messed up his approach at the final hole, the ball sailing into the gallery behind the green. With a bunker in his way and not much green to work with, Spieth hit a daz-zling shot that left a 10-footer to save par and set the record. He calmly rolled it in — not a shoe-in for the final round, but still firmly in control of the tournament.

“To see any putt go in on 18 is nice,” he said. “It was really big. It was huge. It’s one of the bigger putts I’ve ever hit.”

For the second year in a row, Spieth will be in the final group on Sunday.

He had a two-shot lead early in the round last year but faded down the stretch, finish-ing as a runner-up behind Bubba Watson.

This year, it’s essentially a four-man game going to the last round.

Charley Hoffman (71) is the only other player with a single-digit deficit. He’s six shots back.

The group at 210 includes Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, who both shot 68s.

QB Johnny Manziel released from rehabNATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

CLEVELAND (AP) — Johnny Manziel has taken the first steps in his comeback.

The popular Browns quarterback was released from a rehab facility Saturday after more than 10 weeks, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner from Texas A&M entered the undisclosed clinic, which specializes in drug and alcohol re-habilitation, on Jan. 28 for treatment of an unspecified problem. Manziel is expected to participate in Cleveland’s offseason work-outs beginning April 20, the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of privacy issues.

Manziel had been allowed to leave for short periods over the past month and visited a hospital earlier in the week as part of his treatment program.

Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and coach Mike Pettine have publicly pledged their support of Manziel, emphasizing that his personal recovery comes ahead of football. Pettine visited Manziel while he was in rehab and reported he was making good progress.

“Football, it’s a back seat,” Pettine said at the owners meetings last month in Phoenix.

“For his football life to get it where it needs to be, he needs to get the personal life where it needs to be. This takes precedence, so how-ever long of time he needs, the football will be there when he gets out.”

Manziel’s release was first reported by ESPN.

The team remains optimistic about Man-ziel, who was drafted with the No. 22 overall pick in last year’s NFL draft. Manziel spent most of his rookie season backing up Brian Hoyer before playing poorly in two starts.

Manziel joined the Browns with the reputation as a party boy, and he didn’t do anything to refute that image when he was photographed in nightclubs before he even went to training camp with Cleveland.

The Browns insisted they weren’t going to micro-manage any of their players, and throughout the season Pettine said Manziel was working hard and taking the necessary steps to become a better player.

But after his poor on-field performance — he was injured in his second start — Manziel acknowledged he should have taken his job more seriously and vowed to come back for his second season more prepared and focused.

David is trying to save money to buy a new LEGO set that costs $29.00. Each Friday, he gets an allowance of $5.00 from his mom and dad.

David tries to save at least $3.00 every week. He spends about $2.00 when he visits the video arcade on Sunday afternoons. But sometimes he’ll spend more than he planned to trying to top his best score.

Last Sunday, he spent $8.50, which ate into his LEGO savings. Now he only has about $4.00 saved up for the LEGO set.

Evan collects stickers from the grocery store vending machine. Each costs 50¢. He buys one each time his family shops, which is usually three times a week.

Evan earns $3.00 a week pulling weeds in his neighbor’s yard, so he spends half of his money each week on stickers and saves the rest in his piggy bank.

The grocery store just replaced the old sticker machine with a new one. The stickers are bigger, but they cost $1.00 each. If he buys three, he’ll spend all his money every week.

Maria walks and feeds her Aunt Meridith’s dog, Zinger, every day after school. Maria gets $2.00 per day for taking such good care of Zinger.

Maria wants a new bike that costs $75. If she saved all her money each week, she could buy the bike in about two months. But Maria downloads music from her favorite bands at $1.30 per song a couple times a week. She also buys a smoothie for $3.95 on Saturdays with her friend Katie. Sometimes they go to a movie, which costs $7.00 per ticket.
