BY RENÉE JEAN WILLISTON HERALD WILLISTON — There's a black hole in the back of Entertainment Inc!'s grand stage curtain, a hole they hope will draw people in for an event horizon that is quite near. The hole, explains di- rector B. Michael Quale, is due to the age of the curtain. It has been taped up with black duct tape so that it isn't too visible to the audience. It's just one of many holes and imper- fections that have had to be artfully hidden over the years in the theater's grand curtains. Quale says they've been careful with the curtains, keeping paint off them, patching them here and there. But the curtains are 25 years old and, with the armory approaching its 100th year, they do want to spruce things up and be more presentable for all the centennial events that will be coming up. To that end, they've planned a stylish "Blast from the Past" party to raise money. Funds raised at the party will match a city grant from Williston of $4,500 toward the $20,000 overall cost. The shindig is from 8 p.m. to midnight April 25 at the Old Armory, 320 First Ave. E. Tickets are $50 each and are available at the Armory or from any board member. Participants are invited to dress up in any era they like, past or present, and en- joy a mixture of 80s pop and other rock tunes, as well as homemade specialties. Dessert bars by board members and friends are among those specialties and are among the logistics being gathered by Diane Hagen. "This is going to be a fun party," she said. "We've got hot pink and lime green decorations, and someone is going to do a pom-pom routine in between food and entertainment." The evening's entertain- ers include Sound Blast from Minneapolis, a group that has been well-received in Fargo and Bismarck and many other midwestern towns. ‘Where there is no vision, the people perish’ THURSDAY April 9, 2015 116th Year Number 197 Williston, ND www.willistonherald.com 50 Cents James Memorial Art Center Annual Meeting 1:00 p.m., Sunday, April 12 Followed at 3:00 p.m. by 2nd Sunday at the James featuring “An Afternoon of Piano” 621 1st Ave W Deaths Outside Sakakawea Index Setup to win Williston High School’s tennis team returns all but one starter, and is primed for a big season.

Tsarnaev, 21, is the sur- viving member of pair of ethnic Chechen brothers who planted the homemade pressure-cooker bombs that tore through the crowd at the famed race's finish line in one of the most shocking attacks on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, 2001.

Another Las Vegas wom- an, who is accused of in- volving the girl in human trafficking, is in custody at the Ward County Sheriff’s Department after being charged in North Central District Court on Tuesday. If convicted of the felony, Tayari Chanel Meadows, 20, could receive life in prison. According to an affidavit by Caroline Folven of the Minot Police Department, she and another officer re- ceived a report on Monday from the Las Vegas mother who had reported her 14-year-old as missing. The mother told police she opened her daughter’s email account and saw messages from Backpage. com, where an ad had been posted for “Angel” with a photo of a girl who looked like her missing daughter. A police officer, posing as a potential customer, then set up a meeting with the girl at a rate of $200 an hour. At the hotel, police reported they were met by Meadows, who was posing as the girl’s sister. In addi- tion, there was a 16-year- old girl and a 20-year-old woman. All four had ads offering sexual services on Back- page.com, according to the affidavit. While Meadows allegedly told police she believed the missing girl to be 18 and that she was just help- ing her escape from her mother, the 14-year-old reported that Meadows arranged “dates” for her in Williston and Minot and told her that, if she didn’t make money, she wouldn’t eat and she’d be forced to hitchhike home. The girl told police that, after providing services to men, she was forced to turn over all money to a man traveling with Mead- ows. She also said that Mead- ows knew how old she was and said Meadows told her to lie and say she was 18 on her advertisement.

BOSTON — Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found guilty on Wednesday of the 2013 Boston Marathon bomb-ing that killed three people

and injured 264 others, and the jury will now decide whether to sentence him to death.

MINOT — A 14-year-old Las Vegas girl was found in Minot after her mother recognized her photo on a website advertising sexual services.

Another Las Vegas wom-an, who is accused of in-volving the girl in human trafficking, is in custody at the Ward County Sheriff’s Department after being charged in North Central District Court on Tuesday.

If convicted of the felony, Tayari Chanel Meadows, 20, could receive life in prison.

According to an affidavit by Caroline Folven of the Minot Police Department, she and another officer re-ceived a report on Monday from the Las Vegas mother who had reported her 14-year-old as missing.

The mother told police she opened her daughter’s email account and saw messages from Backpage.com, where an ad had been posted for “Angel” with a photo of a girl who looked like her missing daughter.

A police officer, posing as a potential customer,

then set up a meeting with the girl at a rate of $200 an hour.

At the hotel, police reported they were met by Meadows, who was posing as the girl’s sister. In addi-tion, there was a 16-year-old girl and a 20-year-old woman.

All four had ads offering sexual services on Back-page.com, according to the affidavit.

While Meadows allegedly told police she believed the missing girl to be 18 and that she was just help-ing her escape from her mother, the 14-year-old reported that Meadows arranged “dates” for her in Williston and Minot and told her that, if she didn’t make money, she wouldn’t eat and she’d be forced to hitchhike home.

The girl told police that, after providing services to men, she was forced to turn over all money to a man traveling with Mead-ows.

She also said that Mead-ows knew how old she was and said Meadows told her to lie and say she was 18 on her advertisement.

ENTERTAINMENT INC: Events in the worksFROM PAGE A1

Patrick Murphy of Mur-phy Motors is footing the bill for the performance group.

"He's been a great sup-porter of our community, and a great supporter of Entertainment Inc!, and that's why he signed onto this project," Hagen said.

"We appreciate his gen-erous support and input through the years," Quale said. "Without him, our projects could not be nearly as successful as they've been over the years."

Entertainment Inc! has

been a tenant at the Ar-mory for the past 30 years and, with its five shows, occasional fundraisers and other events, is an integral part of what makes the city-owned building self-sustaining. Tax money is not directly used to keep the historic property going.

"It's had quite a life," Quale said. "It started as a military community build-ing and for the past 30 years has served as an arts perfor-mance space. It has always been a community building, and we are proud of that and of our part in it."

Entertainment Inc! prin-ciples were among those working to save the historic building from destruction. Some had planned to raze the castle-like structure and put a parking lot in its place.

"The whole background of the building and how it was built is all very inter-esting, too," Quale said, "and we are going to be cel-ebrating that history soon."

Events are being planned this summer to celebrate its 100th year.

Cheap and easy shale wells are on the drawing boards in the Bakken for Cono-coPhillps, according to the company's latest investor pre-sentation. Company officials outlined plans during the New York meeting to spend 50 percent more on develop-ment, mostly in its unconven-tional plays that stretch from North Dakota to Texas.

The company is the na-tion's third largest producer and owns 620,000 acres in the Bakken, with a drilling in-ventory greater than 10 years at present activity levels.

Wednesday's investor presentation shows the company plans to oper-ate an average of five rigs in the Bakken in 2015 and spend $700 million. That will increase to 10 rigs by 2017. The company is also target-

ing production growth at 6 percent in the Bakken from 2014 to 2017.

ConocoPhillips has successfully lowered well completion costs in the Bakken by 50 percent from 2011 to 2014, according to the presentation, and they've reduced drilling days by 40 percent.

They'll continue to reduce costs, CEO Ryan Lance said, and they'll also continue to push the scientific and technological envelop on producing oil. A map in the presentation showed several pilots in the Bakken testing ideas for completion optimi-zation and tighter spacing of wells.

Overall, the company is reducing its capital expendi-tures from $16 billion to 11.5 billion annually through 2017. They'll spend $4 billion in the lower 48. That rises to

$5 billion in 2017.They'll reduce costs by

about $1 billion by 2016, and increase production to 1.7 million barrels a day by 2017. That will bring along neutral cash flows even in the low oil price environ-ment, Lance said.

Analysts have said the company can turn a profit at $50 a barrel oil. The com-pany's charts at the investor presentation, on the other hand, showed it capable of continuing to provide similar returns in a $40 per barrel price environment. Ryan credited technological advances and reduced drill-ing days in its unconven-tional plays for that.

With the change of seasons comes the responsibil-ity to spruce things up and that time is now.

Before you know it the city will be playing host to Band Day and it's always nice to have your house in order for guests.

On that note, the annual Williston clean-up is being planned for April 25.

Here's where you come in.Volunteers are needed to

make an event such as this successful, as in past years.

Williston has been known to pitch in and this is one time a few extra hands will go a long way.

The overall pitch is to make the city a much cleaner, safer and better Williston.

I Will is the campaign where you can join in with your business, group, club, organization or family.

As a group it's a lot more fun, while you certainly get a lot more accomplished.

By standing up, this means you will help in cleaning up the unwanted trash, while being a major part of the solution.

At the same time, you will serve as a key role model, while beaming with pride for the community.

Plans call for volunteers to meet at 8:30 a.m. at the Aafedt Stadium parking lot on the above date.

Garbage bags, gloves, vests and garbage pickup will be provided.

FREE LUNCH

Now here's the best part!Once workers are sent out

to do some cleaning, a free lunch for all of the volun-teers will be ready at noon in Davidson Park.

This is just a nice reward and way of saying thanks for pitching in.

Meanwhile, you should know dumpsters will be available at Davidson Park for certain electronics and used tires for non-commer-cial entities.

To learn more about this ef-fort you should click on www.cleanwilliston.com.

We recall the early days of the clean city program and here's a chance for a lot of newcomers to join in as well.

As was stated, more hands will make for a much lighter task, for all involved.

BLOOMIN' EFFORTWhile the effort is being

made to clean up the city, here's a way to add to the color.

The Williston Convention & Visitors Bureau is offering $100 vouchers to help with the beauty of the outside of your business.

The CVB will offer the vouchers that will, in turn, be used at the local green-houses to purchase flowers.

Vouchers must be used by June 1 in order to take part this summer.

You are being asked to fill out an application by April 20 in order to take part.

Applications can be picked up and returned to the CVB office located at 212 Airport Road.

You can call Denice at (701) 774-9041 should you have any questions.

LUNCH & LEARNHere's an event you should

mark down that is being sponsored by the good folks at the Mercy Medical Center.

Plan to be on hand at noon on April 21 at the Williston Area Recreation Center to participate in the Lunch & Learn program.

Here you will have free food, along with free info.

Now that sounds like a great combination and the program is only one hour in length.

Nurse Practitioner Heidi Grondahl of the new Wom-en's Health Clinic will be featured, discussing Obstet-rics & Gynecology.

In addition, you can learn about adult immunizations and healthy living.

area and you are looking for a fun night, have we got a deal for you.

Folks over at the local col-lege have been working hard and this is one way for you to

pitch in and lend a hand later this month.

Just to maintain programs at any college program, fund-ing seems to be the bottom line.

That's no different at Wil-liston State College and that's where Casino Night comes in.

Now you have an opportu-nity to have some fun, while at the same time contributing to the success of the athletic programs over at WSC.

WSC officials tell us Teton Athletics will be hosting its annual fundraiser, Casino Night on April 24 in The Well.

Funds raised from dining, entertainment, auctions and the annual truck raffle will help support the growth of Teton athletics.

"Casino Night is an inte-gral part for the operations and success of Teton Athlet-ics. All funds raised through the event are applied directly to the students," explained Dan Artamenko, Athletic

Director at Williston State College.

LOTS OF FUNThis is one evening you

can have a lot of fun, while mingling with a lot of com-munity members.

Casino Night begins at 5:30 p.m. as guests are able to enjoy light appetizers and casino-style games like black-jack, roulette and craps.

That alone should attract your attention.

Then, following a gourmet buffet dinner, guests can then participate in the live and silent auctions and the 2015 truck raffle.

Prizes include a 2015 GMC 1500 Sierra SLT Double Cab, a Yamaha Viking EPS 4x4, two season passes to Links of ND and much more.

You had best check with the college to make sure tickets are still available for the big prizes.

At the same time, "we still have a high need for spon-sors and donations for our

auction items," Artamenko pointed out.

This is a perfect way for the community to help support the Tetons.

He went on to say, "it’s a great way to get local busi-nesses more involved and get their names out there in sup-port of our college athletic program."

GET YOUR TICKETSIndividual tickets for the

event are $50 and include ap-petizers, a buffet dinner and $20 in Teton Money.

A party of eight can reserve a VIP table for the evening at $500.

With the VIP table package, guests will receive appetiz-ers, buffet dinner, $20 in Teton Money per person, preferred priority seating, a bottle of wine for the table and a Teton athlete as their server.

Now how can you beat a deal like that?

Additional people can be added to the VIP table for only $65 dollars per person.

Seating for Casino Night is limited, so you are being asked to get your tickets as soon as possible to reserve a spot at this very popular Wil-liston event.

"The ability to run this event is, in my opinion, what can separate us from our competition and put a na-tional spotlight on the Willis-ton State Tetons," concluded Artamenko.

For more information about the Casino Night, or how your business can get involved, contact

Artamenko at [email protected] or (701) 774-4546.

BY ANNA DRIVER AND ERNEST SCHEYDERREUTERS

HOUSTON — Royal Dutch Shell Plc's $70 billion agreement to buy BG Group Plc may be just the signal that other dealmakers need to make their own energy takeover bets, particularly in the U.S. shale sector.

Bankers and analysts say that Shell's move is telling potential acquirers that one of the biggest players is now confident enough to make a big play - that the fears of a further big slide in oil and gas prices may be fading.

Following the more than 50 percent collapse in oil prices since the middle of last year, the market has been too volatile to give buyers and sellers clarity on valuations, bankers say, even as potential acquirers knock on doors to examine a range of assets.

The Shell deal with BG brings together two Eu-ropean companies with a global reach.

A tie-up will ripple across an energy industry ripe for consolidation.

"Things may be chang-ing," said Rich Eychner, an equity research associate at Raymond James in Hous-ton. "Since the meltdown, the bid-ask spread has been too wide. So maybe this is hinting some deals could start moving forward.”

There are literally dozens of shale oil and gas compa-nies in the United States.

Many have responded to the oil price slide by announcing spending cuts

of 25-70 percent in a bid to conserve cash and show investors they have staying power.

But analysts have said that any of the compa-nies, especially those with prime acreage in oil-rich shale fields in Texas, North Dakota and Colorado, could be up for grabs if a sweet enough offer is made.

Analysts at Capital One Southcoast said on Wednes-day that BG's U.S. shale assets will become likely candidates for divestiture after the Shell deal closes.

Shell, in buying BG, has made a conscious choice to double-down on global liq-

uefied natural gas projects and de-emphasize U.S. shale.

There could easily be consolidation among shale companies, or purchases of them by the largest West-ern oil giants, though none would likely get close to the size of the BG mega-deal, the bankers said.

"There are already a lot of M&A discussions going on," the global head of oil and gas at a top investment bank said recently, before reports had even surfaced about the deal.

To be sure, some promi-nent shale oil producers have made clear they would like to remain independent,

while acknowledging their fiduciary duty to sharehold-ers requires they entertain offers that may arise.

Whiting Petroleum Corp, the largest oil producer in North Dakota, carried out a new round of capital

raising to shore up its bal-ance sheet last month and quashed chatter it was for sale.

Challenge 2016 voters: End black separation in us

A4

Sweet Land of Liberty

NatHentoff

Among all the enlarging crises -- from insatiably mur-derous ISIS to the fading individual liberties of more Americans in the Bill of Rights, how many 2016 presidential candidates will focus also on the fact that “Blacks are twice as likely to live in poverty ... “ and “Black unemployment is nearly double that of whites”? (“Blacks ‘stall’ in race divide,” New York Daily News, March 26, 2015)

These are quotations from the long-respected civil rights organization, the National Urban League, as further quoted in the Huffington Post’s story “Black America is Just 72 Percent Equal to Whites in Some Areas” (Huffington Post, March 25, 2015).

One example of a subhead in that story: “Black Students’ Academic Proficiency Hovers Well Below White Peers:”

Also the continually racially segregated school systems across the land. For in-stance, the neighborhood where I live and work in New York City is effectively segregated by race. This is not done by law, but by where whites choose to live.

So, while growing up, young blacks and whites don’t get to know one another.

I don’t recall hearing racial public school segregation being mentioned by presidential or congressional can-didates. Nor is it evident in most predominant media in their various forms.

My own growing up experience was different because of my passion for jazz, which began when I was about 12 years old. Five years later, I had a jazz program on Boston radio station WMEX, where I interviewed and got to know black jazz musicians, some of whom became my friends.

One of them was Charles Mingus, who later became a master bassist and leader.

I first knew him as a sideman with a visiting combo to Boston, and we became friends.

It was when reading his 1971 memoir, “Beneath the Underdog,” that I viscerally felt the separation I didn’t experience between blacks and whites:

“Nat Hentoff,” he wrote about our first meeting, “was the first white I could talk with.”

So what will the next president do, if anything, if he or she has to suggest nominees for Supreme Court vacancies who could significantly reduce the separation between American blacks and whites? This can also be a consider-ation in voting for members of Congress, state judges and legislators, mayors, et al.

Otherwise, for how many generations will this racial separation continue?

What also needs pervasive changing are the long prison sentences of huge numbers of Americans, a high percent-age of whom are blacks and other minorities.

Many of these lives are then permanently blocked from having meaningful access to the benefits of citizenship.

As I have discovered studying state prison populations, many blacks with such blocked futures were first school dropouts imprisoned for non-violent crimes.

In schools where students were measured and graded collectively by standardized tests, these black dropouts felt like they had no reason for being there because they had been taught they were dumbly incapable of such learning. Or so they thought.

While I continue to be convinced that Obama should be impeached for unilaterally and ceaselessly violating our privacy and other Constitutional rights, I must credit him in his current actual attempts to put an end to mass imprisonments for nonviolent crimes.

What can also begin to be meaningfully and perma-nently likely to erase black inequality is the increased visible and authentic coming together of these Americans -- blacks and also whites -- who are searching for effective ways to remove Jim Crow as a malignant presence in this nation.

Seeing this insistent coalition in action in politics, education and other core functions of American life could eventually bring us back to a self-governing republic by all of We The People.

Finally, I bring Duke Ellington into the conversation. He’s been an influence on me, not only about jazz, since my teens, when he knew I was starting to write on jazz musicians.

“Don’t categorize musicians,” he told me. “Like -- ‘old timey Dixieland’ or ‘cutting-edge modern.’ Get to know where the musician came from, how he grew up, his fam-ily, what got him into jazz. That’s where his music comes from.”

My variation on that is a possible society where some of its members wouldn’t automatically judge a person by politics, race, gender, et al, but would get to know more of the particular person’s background and main interests.

And Charlie Parker, the icon of modern jazz, warned me back then: “Don’t go by first impressions, what you first see and hear. Get to know more than that.”

We were talking about Bartok, whose music I was ex-cited by.

“First time I heard Bartok,” said Bird (as he was called), “he wasn’t anything to me. Later, I heard a concerto by him, and I began to write a jazz concerto. I must have been into something else when I first heard him.”

And when I was first teaching journalism at New York University Graduate School, I’d start by saying, “Don’t go into a story with a pre-set. Like you feel you know who’s right and who’s wrong by their race or political party. Get the facts.”

All of us are human beings entitled to the Constitution’s protections. If not, what makes America different from all other nations?

LONDON, April 8 (Re-uters) - U.S. crude produc-tion will peak this month, according to revised fore-casts published by the coun-try's Energy Information Administration (EIA).

Output will average 9.37 million barrels per day (bpd) in April and the same in May before falling to 9.33 million bpd in June and 9.04 million bpd by Sep-tember, the EIA predicted in the April edition of its Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO).

Production is expected to peak a month earlier and 10,000 bpd lower than the EIA forecast in the January STEO, reflecting continued low wellhead prices and a sharper-than-expected slow-down in new well drilling.

Production is forecast not to exceed this month's level for another 18 months. The EIA has cut its forecast for the end of 2016 by 230,000 bpd compared with three months ago (http://link.reuters.com/ped54w).

While the EIA's Brent price forecast is largely unchanged, prices for West Texas Intermediate crude have been marked down through the rest of 2015 and 2016, reflecting the build-up of crude stocks and persis-tent weakness of U.S. grades.

The number of rigs drilling for oil has fallen further and faster than was anticipated last year. Baker Hughes reported there were 802 rigs drilling for oil last week, down exactly 50 per-cent since early October.

It is unlikely a halving of the rig count can be com-pletely offset by greater target selectivity and other efficiency improvements such as employing only

the most powerful rigs, drill-ing longer laterals and reaching target depth faster.

Drilling data points to a strong probability that produc-tion from new wells will soon start to fall - if it is not falling al-ready. Given the rapid declines in output from wells drilled in 2013 and 2014, total output from new and legacy wells should start to fall soon.

DATA DELAYSThe most common ques-

tion I am asked at the mo-ment is: if the rig count has fallen by 50 percent, why is output still rising?

The simple answer: there is a delay of six months or more between changes in the number of new wells being drilled and reported changes in production.

It can take 20-30 days for a rig to drill a new well and then another 60 days or more for the well to be fractured and all the above-ground equipment put in place before the well flows its first oil.

Most major oil-producing states require well operators to submit a monthly report on the amount of oil and gas produced, but the first report is not usually due for up to two or three months after a new well has begun flowing.

Even then, the first report

may not be representative of a full month's produc-tion because the well may have started flowing part way through the month in question.

Once production reports are submitted they have to be compiled and published by state regulators, adding a further delay.

Then there are late filings ("delinquent wells") from operators submitting after the formal legal deadline has passed, which means the initial production totals can be revised, sometimes substantially, especially in Texas where there are lots of small owners and opera-tors.

The EIA includes esti-mates for U.S. production in its weekly and monthly pub-lications. However, these are based on extrapolating from limited data and subject to estimating errors, which are likely to be especially large when the production trend is changing.

Rig counts are a leading indicator of future produc-tion trends (albeit a very im-perfect one), while produc-tion reports are a lagging indicator.

Trying to predict future production based on current production reports is like at-tempting to drive by looking in the rear-view mirror.

Even if production peaks this month or next, it will not be visible in the statis-tics until at least July or August, and maybe later.

But by the time the production peak becomes visible, output will likely have been falling for several months.

Dear Annie: I have a 30-year-old son. “Brad” was the perfect child, lov-ing and affectionate, until the age of 16. That’s when I divorced my drug-addicted husband. I sheltered the children as much as I could from what their father was doing.

When I transferred Brad to a public school, he got involved in drugs, quit school, became verbally abusive, did a stint in jail and more. I remarried a wonderful man who showed Brad nothing but love. Any disciplining was done by me.

When I found out Brad was doing drugs at age 21, I kicked him out of the house. He abused steroids and who knows what else. He blames me for the way he is because I kicked him out. He claims no mother would do that. I told him it’s called “tough love” and that I refuse to watch him destroy himself.

I have not spoken to Brad in five months. Christmas and my birthday have come and gone with no acknowl-edgment. My heart is just so broken. Should I reach out to him or let him figure out life on his own? Do I wish him a happy birthday next month? I don’t know what to do anymore. — Bro-kenhearted Mom

Dear Brokenhearted:

Tough love can also be tough on the parents. You did nothing wrong by expecting your adult son to move out of the house. Even kids who are not abusing drugs ought to leave the

nest by then. Brad finds it easier to blame you for what is wrong with his life than to accept responsibil-ity for his own actions. Until he figures it out, all you can do is wait and hope. But you can send him a birthday card and also find support from others in your situation through Because I Love You at bily.org. Good luck.

Dear Annie: I was sad-dened by the letter from “L.H. in Montgomery,” the 82-year-old woman who has been searching for love for 40 years.

My husband and I are senior citizens, 75 and 80 years old. We have been dancing (ballroom style) in senior centers and other dance organizations for 25 years. It is amazing how many friendships and rela-tionships are developed be-tween us “old people” when we’re dancing. Of course,

none of us feels old.Please tell L.H. to check

out local senior centers or those in other towns nearby. She also could check for social dance clubs (ballroom style danc-ing, country dancing, etc.) in her area. One of our area senior dancers teaches line dancing, which is a great way to dance if you don’t have a partner. Dancing is great social interaction. I hope she can find some-thing in her area. — Suisun City, Calif.

Dear Suisun City: Thank you for the suggestion. There are many excellent activities for people of all ages who are looking to meet others. Trying to find someone online is OK as far as it goes, but nothing beats meeting folks in person who are also participating in an activity you enjoy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Express your outgoing attitude, and strive to be in a good mood. Get involved in social events that will lead to new friendships. An impor-tant connection will be made.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your quest for change will drain your bank account. Rather than spend money on unnecessary items, put your cash in a safe place. An unex-pected bill will set you back.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Reflect on your current relationships. If you feel you may be moving in a differ-ent direction than the people around you, you should de-termine what could be done

to revive the connection or move on.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Career and travel are high-lighted. Advancement will head your way if you are will-ing to make the necessary changes. Keep an open mind and a positive outlook.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t waste time. Use your energy wisely. Focus on your creative talents and stretch your boundaries. Classes that provide you with the stimulation you crave will lead to new friendships.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Before you reconnect with someone from your past, re-member how the friendship ended. If you want to avoid a repeat performance, focus on meeting someone more like you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your empathetic nature makes you a good friend. However, you run the risk of burning out if you try to do too much for too many. Offer advice without compromis-ing your own needs.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Step into the limelight. Your charm and talent will

impress the people you meet along the way. An interest-ing partnership is imminent. Embrace a new venture.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your emotions will escalate. Avoid getting involved in sensitive issues that could end in a dispute. Find a quiet corner where you can enjoy peace and quiet and mull over your thoughts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You stand to profit if you take advantage of a moneymaking opportunity. Long-term savings or careful investments will prove to be lucrative and stress-free.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Idle time will work against you. Find some form of mental stimulation. Dis-cussions with people who share your interests will turn out well, as will taking advantage of an opportunity to travel.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t settle for less when you could have so much more. Look into your options and prepare to make a move. Do whatever it takes to raise your standard of living.

Annie’s Mailbox

W.H. Auden, an Anglo-American poet, said, “Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denomi-nator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.”

That is a good guideline. Today, we have two problems that do not have a common denominator. First, look at the South hand. West opens three clubs, showing a good seven-card suit and some 6-10 high-card points; North makes a takeout double; and East passes. What should South bid?

This is a situation so many inexperienced players get wrong. They bid three spades, regardless of point-count. Yes, it is true that North, when entering the auction over an opponent’s pre-emptive opening bid, will assume that South has six or seven points -- but he has noticeably more than that. South must jump to four spades.

That is passed out. How should the defenders play to defeat the contract?

If West leads the club king, declarer wins in the dummy, draws trumps, ruffs his last club in the dummy, and runs the diamonds for an overtrick. But if West leads his single-ton heart, East wins the first trick with his heart jack, then cashes the heart ace and king. What should West discard?

West should throw the diamond nine followed by the diamond two: high-low with a doubleton, asking for a diamond shift. Then, when East leads a diamond at trick four, West ruffs to defeat the contract. Andy Rob-son, an English expert, point-ed out that if a pre-emptive opener leads a side suit, that will be a singleton. If instead he leads his own suit, play him for a singleton in your trump suit.

ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) — Northern State University says it’s reinstating its wrestling program after receiving an outpouring of financial support from across the country.

The American News in Aberdeen reports that school officials announced Wednesday the program would be brought back im-mediately.

The school suspended the program in March and said it wanted to review the long-term viability and financing of the program for two seasons.

Director of Athletics Josh Moon says the school has received pledges of more than $70,000 per year for five years. That fund-ing will directly support athletic scholarships, the program’s operating bud-get and the hiring of an assistant coach.

Moon also credits Mike Moyer, with the National Wrestling Coaches Asso-ciation. Moyer met with school officials in March to map out a plan to save the program.

New coaches named at WHSJundt to lead boys hockey; Hanson to guide volleyball program BY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — More coaching changes have taken place at Willis-ton High School.

On Tuesday night, Williston High School Athletics Director Jeff Dorn-feld announced the hiring of two new coaches.

Tyler Jundt, a 2009 graduate of Williston High School, has been named as the new boys hockey coach.

He replaces Dustin Brat-lien, who stepped down at the conclusion of this past season.

Anne Hanson has been named as the new volley-ball coach. Hanson, who could not be reached for comment, replaces Josh Washvedt at the helm of the Williston program.

For Jundt, the position as hockey coach is almost like a dream come true.

“Obviously, I’m very excited,” he said. “I’m ready to get to work. It’s something I’ve had my eye on.”

Jundt has an impressive hockey re-sume under his belt, which includes playing two years of junior hockey.

He also played for a year-and-a-half at Bemidji State.

Most recently, Jundt was an assistant coach for two seasons at Williston State College coach under for-mer head coach Seamus Gregory.

“Seamus was a great motivator,” he said. “He knew how to push a player’s button.”

As an assistant coach at Williston State, Jundt was directly involved with the youth hockey program in the area.

“I’m very happy with our youth,” he said. “Our numbers are high.

We’ve got some talented kids and the future is bright.”

As far as bringing success back to the high school level, Jundt says change is coming.

“We’ve got to get back to taking some pride,” he said. “We used to have a chip on our shoulder and we lost that.

“Things are going to be different. The kids are going to be held ac-countable.”

Jundt plans to meet his players in the near future and hold individ-ual meetings to discuss strengths and weaknesses of individual players.

As for Hanson, she is the fourth volleyball coach at Williston in the past six years.

TCS names Braaten as new boys hoops coachBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — Trinity Christian School Athletics Director Cory Fleck an-nounced Wednesday the hir-ing of Jacob Braaten as the school’s next boys basketball coach.

Al Mc-Farlane, the head coach for the past two seasons for the Crusad-ers, stepped down last month at the conclusion of the season.

McFarlane will stay on the Trinity Christian coaching staff and will serve as an as-sistant coach to Braaten. He will also serve as the junior varsity coach next season.

“I appreciate coach Al McFarlane’s time and efforts with the boys program,” Fleck said. “He brought them to regionals for the first time in four years.”

Braaten who served as an assistant under McFarlane last season and the junior varsity coach, is thrilled at the opportunity ahead of him.

“I’m extremely excited,” he said. “We got a great team, and we got a fun off-season (a head of us).”

The Crusaders lost only two seniors off this past season’s team that lost in the Region 8 tournament.

“We lost a couple of good seniors,” Braaten said. “But we got a lots of talent.”

Fleck says Braaten will bring some new blood to the program.

“Coach Jacob Braaten will bring a young, enthusiastic new flavor to the helm of the program,” the Trinity Christian athletics director said. “He has some great ideas and will bring passion to the court.”

Braaten has wasted little time getting started in his new role.

“We went to the Class B state tournament to show them the environment,” he said. “We want them to be there next season.”

It was also announced Wednesday that Trinity Christian and Trenton will not co-op in boys basketball next season.

The Trinity Christian girls, however, will co-op with Trenton next season.

GIRLS TENNIS

Williston is loaded with experience6 of the top 7 players are back for Lady CoyotesBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — This could be the year that the Williston High School girls tennis pro-gram has been waiting for.

With six of the top seven players from a season ago back for this year, it would seem the sky is certainly the limit for Williston.

“It’s a little different of a year for me,” said Williston girls tennis coach Wade Stueve. “We have six of our top seven players back. We have some experience back. We don’t have to teach them.”

Among the returners for Williston is Keyanna Enget, who will play in the No. 1 singles spot.

Enget is a two-time

all-state qualifier.Kaylen Barstad will play

in the No. 2 spot for Willis-ton, while Caitlyn Hunter is set to play the No. 3 position.

Bethanie Pippin, Jami Wells and Jocci Lysne will round out the lineup for Wil-liston.

While experience is a strength, Stueve says overall consistency needs to im-prove.

“Some girls put in a lot of work,” the Williston coach said. “And others didn’t. We’ve got to get more con-sistent. If we are going to lose points, teams have to be (aggressive).”

With all the returning experience, Williston is placing itself in a position to claim a top four finish in the West.

Bismarck Century is the team to beat in the region, but after that parity sets in.

“After that, it’s wide open,” Stueve said.

The Lady Coyotes have been aided this season by the Williston Area Recre-ation Center where the Lady Coyotes can practice.

In previous years, the Lady Coyotes were shoveling snow off the courts at the Davidson Tennis Complex on the first day of practice.

The Lady Coyotes will open the season Friday in Minot as they face Minot, Jamestown and Century in a 3-2 format.

Williston will also par-ticipate in the Minot Round Robin on Saturday.

The Lady Coyotes will also host Minot on Tuesday.

MARK JONES | WILLISTON HERALD

Williston’s Keyanna Enget returns a serve during practice Wednesday at the Davidson Tennis Complex in Williston. The Lady Coyotes will open the season this weekend in Minot.

Minnesota is shut out again in 11-0 loss to TigersDETROIT (AP) — Paul Molitor is

still waiting for his first win as Min-nesota’s manager.

His team’s first run, too.“We believe in these guys, but you

come out the first couple days and get 18 zeros and I’m sure it’s a bit frustrating,” Molitor said. “You hope the guys with some experience are smart enough to realize it’s just a small sample size of the season.”

Anibal Sanchez helped the Detroit Tigers blank Minnesota for the sec-ond straight game, Jose Iglesias had

four hits and Alex Avila scored four runs in Wednesday’s 11-0 rout of the Twins.

Detroit had beaten Min-nesota 4-0 on opening day behind star left-hander Da-vid Price, and Sanchez was impressive as well.

“It’s never fun facing those two guys,” Twins right-hander Ricky Nolasco said. “Obviously they’re a really good team and they’ve stuck it to us the first two games.”

Nolasco (0-1) gave up six runs and six hits in three-plus innings,

walked four and struck out two.

Ian Kinsler drove in four runs for Detroit. Avila and Iglesias, hitting eighth and ninth in the order, reached base every time they came up — Avila had three walks and a single.

“I’m not trying to walk, but at the same time, I’m trying to swing at strikes,” Avila said. “A

walk is just the result of sometimes not chasing and not swinging at balls.”

Sanchez (1-0) allowed three hits and two walks in 6 2-3 innings while striking out six.

Avila drew leadoff walks in the third and fourth, and the Tigers went on to big innings both times. Kinsler opened the scoring with a two-run single in the third, and Miguel Ca-brera’s RBI double made it 3-0.

Anthony Gose added a two-run triple in the fourth.

His lawyers opened Tsar-naev's federal trial in Boston a month ago by bluntly admit-ting "it was him" who planted one of the bombs on April 15, 2013 and three days later shot dead a police officer, kicking off a day of chaos in Boston.

After 11 hours of delibera-tions over two days, the jury found him guilty of all 30 criminal counts he faced.

The slightly built, lightly goateed defendant stood silently, shifting uncomfort-ably as a U.S. District court official read out each guilty finding, a process that took 25 minutes.

The courtroom was packed with survivors of the attack including the parents of 8-year-old Martin Richard, the youngest fatality, and law enforcement officials, includ-ing former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis.

After the verdict was read, Karen Brassard, whose left leg was badly injured by one of the bombs, said she was glad that Tsarnaev had shown no emotion.

"Personally I wouldn't have bought it if he had," Brassard said, as an early-spring sleet fell over Boston's waterfront.

"He has been, to use my word, arrogant walking in and out of the courtroom."

The blasts killed restaurant manager Krystle Campbell, 29, Chinese exchange student Lingzi Lu, 23, and Richard. Tsarnaev also was found guilty of the fatal shooting of Massachusetts of Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier, 26.

LIFE OR DEATH?With Tsarnaev's guilt estab-

lished, the trial now moves into a second phase where prosecutors and defense attor-neys will call another round of witnesses. The jury will decide whether to sentence him to death or life in prison without possibility of parole. That phase begins next week.

Tsarnaev's lawyers have in-dicated that they plan to show that his 26-year-old brother Tamerlan was the driving force behind the attack, a contention they hope will persuade the jury to spare his life.

In a stark contrast to de-fense attorney Judith Clarke's opening-statement admission of Tsarnaev's guilt in placing the bombs, she turned her attention during last week's closing argument to the mak-ing of the bombs.

"Tamerlan did that," Clarke said, contending that without the older brother there would have been no attack. Tamer-

lan died early on April 19, 2013, after Dzhokhar ran him over with a car while fleeing a gunfight with police.

The amount of time spent in the jury room suggests the jurors were thorough in considering the charges, said David Weinstein, an attorney in private practice who in

prior jobs as a state and local prosecutor brought death-penalty cases.

"If this was a fait accompli, they would have been out in the amount of time it takes to shuffle through 30 pieces of paper," Weinstein said. "Sentencing deliberations are likely to take longer.

Federal prosecutors de-tailed jihadi writings, includ-ing a copy of al Qaeda's "In-spire" magazine with an ar-ticle on bomb-making found on of Tsarnaev's computers, describing that as evidence that he was an extremist who wanted to "punish America."

"We are gratified by the

jury's verdict," said Carmen Ortiz, U.S. attorney for Mas-sachusetts, who oversaw the prosecution. "As we enter this next phase, we are focused on the work that re-mains to be done."

DARK MEMORIES FOR BOSTONThe trial, which began

in early March after a two-month jury selection process, dredged up some of the worst memories in living memory in Boston. The twin pressure-cooker bombs ripped through the crowd of spectators at the race's finish line, setting off a mad rush to save the hun-dreds of people wounded, 17 of whom lost limbs.

Three days later, the Fed-eral Bureau of Investigation released images of the Tsar-naev brothers, saying they were the suspected bombers and seeking information on their identities. That set the stage for 24 hours of chaos.

The city's mayor, Marty Walsh, said he was glad to see the trial moving toward a conclusion.

"I am thankful that this phase of the trial has come to an end and am hopeful for a swift sentencing process," Walsh said. "I hope today’s verdict provides a small amount of closure for the survivors, families, and all impacted by the violent and tragic events."
