BY JOSIE HILLWHS SOPHOMORE

The pup woke to voices around him. They don’t sound familiar he thought to himself. He opened his eyes to see a large pair of luminous yellow eyes staring down at him. The young pup squeaked in surprise, and the wolf chuckled back murmur-ing, “You are in good paws young one.” The pup’s eyes widened in shock and looked around. He didn’t remember anything that had happened. He was reading a book in his room, and he fell asleep.

“You are in the medicine den; you took a great fall off of the boulder.”

“Moonsong, will you please take Moonpup back to the monarch den so he can rest easier?” A voice sounded next to Moonpups head. He turned to see a beautiful she-wolf, who was dark brown all over with a startlingly white belly and chest. Moonsong? Wait… this is part of my book! I’m stuck inside my books storyline! Moonpup thought. He was about to open his jaws to speak but Moonsong cut him off.

“Of course, Brightbelly,” answered the male wolf. He turned to the pup. “You may want to fluff your fur; the cold north winds are upon us,” Moonsong said to the

little pup who lay in a bed of leaves as he bent to grab the pup by its scruff. Exiting the den, the pup cringed as large white flakes of snow poured down. The wolf, Moonsong shielded Moonpup the best he could as the two made their way across the clear-ing. Their ears pricked as they heard crashing through the undergrowth.

A female broke through the bracken. “Alpha Smoke-blaze! Beta Coldfoot!” The she-wolf caterwauled. Two wolves join her from their dens, followed by a third that emerged from a large den in the rock face.

“Rosetail, what’s hap-pened?!” The Alpha Smoke-blaze exclaimed peering at his packmate.

“The Sundown Pack! They’re trying to take our land! A full warrior patrol was spotted just past Owl Tree!” The young warrior collapsed in exhaustion onto the snow clad ground. In no time Alpha Smokeblaze had gathered the warriors into the clearing. Moonsong, who still held Moonpup in his jaws, set him down quickly in the monarch den. He quickly joined his leaders in the middle of the clearing along with the other warriors.

Moonpup scrabbled to peer out of the den in time to watch the last warrior disap-

pear into the woods. Moon-pup quietly snuck out of the camp to follow the warriors. Locked in a deadly battle, Moonpup watched from the shadows as wolves fought each other in an angry fit of snarls. Trying to avoid the conflict, Moonpup crouched behind a rock: only his eyes poking above the surface as he looked down at the battle. His ear shot up as his eyes met the cold gaze of a Sun-down Pack Warrior. The wolf bared its teeth and took off up the rocks towards him. The rocks scattered down the hill. Moonpup yelped in fright. The wolf growled and launched himself even farther up the rocks. The pup was knocked onto its back. The wolf snarled in its face. It raised its paw, claws glint-ing in the moonlight. The wolf brought his paw down with such great of a force that Moonpup flew across the clearing, hit a tree, and fell to the ground with a sickening-ly loud crunch. Just before Moonpups eyes closed, he saw an angry Moonsong hur-tling towards the other wolf, clamping his jaws around its neck and shook his head un-til his enemy grew still. The last thing Moonpup saw was the older wolf’s eyes watch-ing him with worry.

“This isn’t your destiny Moonpup.”

You dropped into a story line of your favorite book: Moonpup’s Destiny

BY GEOVANNA GARVINWHS SOPHOMORE

My life is ending before my eyes. My car is spin-ning and jolting around, making my eyes unable to focus on one thing. I squeeze them shut. I feel a sense of nausea rising and a rush of adrenaline overcoming me. I attempt to slam my feet on the brakes repeatedly. After

too many attempts, I realize that it’s too late. Pointless. My hands reach for my head as I start bracing myself for any upcoming impact. My breathing races. Getting light headed. I start to think about if I’ll ever get to see my family and friends again, to tell them I love them, or how much they mean to me.

A sudden smell snaps me

out of that deep thought: the smell of burning fuel attracts my attention. The sounds around me sharpen. The skidding tires startle me. I begin to scream. Scream for help. Scream for safety… until BOOM! THRASH! The impact of my car hits me. In the blink of an eye, the feeling of sharp glass cutting through your skin, getting pulled forward, getting thrown like a ragdoll, and ejecting head first out of your front windshield. I felt every single shard cut through. My face begins to feel an unexplainable burn-ing sensation. I can taste the drips of blood falling onto my lips, making its way into my mouth. As my body flew from the vehicle, my eyes caught a tiny glimpse of the cement ground where I soon will lay. My head violently bangs itself on the hard ground followed by my back and the wind in my lungs. I lost consciousness immedi-ately.

As I lay there with no thoughts- a black fog I can’t get out of, I can almost hear faint screams everywhere. “Call 911.” “We need help.” “Someone hurry, please.” An older women’s gentle voice assuring me I’ll be fine…stay with her. I feel myself drift-ing, my body quickly going cold in wet night. I knew it was my time to go.

also from Williston. "It's pretty cool to see what they can do, and what you can go up to in the future with practice."

Germundson and the other quad drummers with Willis-ton learned how to tune their instrument. "We were pretty far off," he said, "but now we know how to tune them. It'll definitely make the band sound better."

"They were just awesome,"

Anna Scallon said. "Really legit."

She just recently started playing the quad. "It's really fun once you get the hang of it," she said.

During the workshop she learned exactly where to strike the drum — not the center as you might think — and better stick techniques.

“It was really cool to get to play with them. It was a good experience," she said.

The fun and learning went both ways said Stampede

drummer Chris Digero said. "Their overall attitude is so

great," Stampede base drum-mer Joe Vaccarelli said. "They just had this I'm going to get this attitude."

"It was nice to get the op-portunity to work with the kids and show them the pos-sibilities," he said. "Hopeful-ly this will help inspire them as they keep practicing, and motivate them to practice more."

Chris Digero, with the Denver Broncos Stampede Band, talks quad drums to members of the Williston High School Band. In addition to tuning the drum, he showed them the correct playing area, which is not in the center of the drum after all. It’s actually toward the edges.

DERAILMENT: Broken wheel in Illinois fireany specifics about that un-til the (accident) docket is released, and that could be a couple months from now,” he said.

On April 17, the FRA is-sued a safety advisory after a preliminary investigation found that a broken wheel on a tank car loaded with Bakken crude may have caused the fiery derailment of a BNSF train March 5

near Galena, Illinois.The 103-car train was

traveling at 23 mph when 21 cars derailed only a few hundred feet from the Mis-sissippi River.

NTSB officials have said the train at Heimdal was traveling 24 mph before it derailed.

The safety advisory rec-ommended that railroads lower the threshold for

replacing wheels and tak-ing cars out of service on trains carrying flammable liquids.

The FRA also recom-mended that pre-departure inspections be conducted only by designated inspec-tors who are better trained than train crew members or other railroad employ-ees to detect mechanical defects.

Success and its larger definition

Editorial cartoon

While serving as a professor of political science at the University of North Dakota, I was privileged to see many students who later joined the ranks of the successful.

I have had a U. S. Senator, a U. S. Con-gressman, a couple of elected state officials, the Republican Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, a number of district judges, attorneys, educators, en-trepreneurs and scores of others who met society’s common definition of success.

All too often, however, our definition of success consists of a short list measured by money, business and politics. In the process, we overlook outstanding folks who dedicate their lives to filling the gaps left by our economic, social and public policies. They are successes in their own way.

Among them are workers for the chari-table organizations that raise funds to feed the poor, run food pantries, counsel addicts, and salvage the unsalvageable. Their success is found in helping others left stranded on the Jericho Road.

One such success is Nancy Jo Albers who was raised on a ranch in the Mandan area and first appeared in my classes in 1970.

Nancy Jo is now working in the slums of Lost Angeles where she spends her days as a Catholic Worker serving ad-dicts, the homeless and the hungry.

When she referred to herself as a “Catholic Worker,” I thought it was a generic term describing her role. But then I discovered that the Catholic Worker movement was launched in 1933 by a couple in New York City who felt called to implement the Gospels and Catholic social teach-ing.

In a recent communication, Nancy Jo described her work.“There is every manner of human suffering and social

breakdown on full display in this teeming colony of the destitute and desperately ill,” she reported.

“I have seen people in the grips of full blown psychotic breakdowns. Sirens wail and drug dealers rule.

“The heroin addicts tend to gather on one side of the street and crack addicts on the other side of the street, many of them medicating against the horrors of mental illness.

“The hungry and the sick huddle by the hundreds at the door of the Catholic Worker soup kitchen, and then file in for a bit of sustenance before returning to their tents and cardboard encampments.

“ It’s as though there’s been some war or natural disaster and the wounded, shell-shocked and penniless have been herded into the holding pen with nothing left of their self-respect.”

Nancy Jo’s narrative should pull us up short, forcing us to acknowledge that there are huge gaps in the Ameri-can dream being filled by courageous volunteers, caring churches and charitable organizations.

If Baltimore is anything like Nancy Jo’s Los Angeles, we should get an idea of why people with nothing to lose break out against the system. It doesn’t include them.

This observation doesn’t mean there is any justification for stoning the police, burning neighborhoods, or stealing property but it should give us some insight in the rage that is ripping through slums where hopeless people live out lives of nothing.

If the current economic trends continue, the gaps in gov-ernment safety nets will become larger and more inade-quate. Both political parties are spending all of their efforts romancing the voting middle class so neither is offering much hope to the slums of Los Angeles or Baltimore.

In the future, society is going to need a definition of “suc-cess” that goes beyond politics, economics and government.

Lloyd Omdahl was the 34th Lieutenant Governor of North Dakota, taking office after Ruth Meiers died in 1987 under Gov. George Sinner was re-elected in 1988. He is also a former political science professor at the University of North Dakota.

There are less than 80 weeks left until Election Day 2016. Political analysts are asking themselves whether or not Hillary Clin-ton can win another White House term for Democrats. They ask because holding the White House longer than eight years has hap-pened only once since 1950, when George H.W. Bush won in 1988 after Ronald Reagan’s two terms.

As a former presiden-tial campaign manager, I know that nothing is more dynamic than an election. Even local elections are living social organisms that grow, morph and change daily. No election is the same. When I managed Al Gore’s campaign in 2000, we won the popular vote but lost the Supreme Court. Well, I could say more, but that’s old news.

Let’s review some history. The presidential election of 2012, for instance, took place in a different country than the 2008 election. The makeup of the U.S. popula-tion had changed, people had moved, and congressio-nal district boundaries had been redrawn since 2008.

For instance, Obama is the only president since 1950 to win less of the popu-lar vote in his second elec-tion than his first. “Obama alone bequeaths to his potential party successor in 2016 a smaller popular-vote base than the one he first assembled in 2008,” writes Raymond Smith in The Hill. Sounds pretty ominous.

But in 2012, Obama also exceeded George W. Bush’s winning margin of 2004. And Bush’s increase of 2 percent in his voting base was notable because he had lost the popular vote in 2000.

Additionally, Obama is the only president since 1956 -- that’s over five decades -- to win 51 percent or more of the popular vote twice, a feat matched only by Dwight Eisenhower.

I mention Obama because he’s the subject of a second “rule” making the rounds,

meaning that electing Clinton will simply be a third term for Obama. If this were 2008, pun-dits would be saying a Hillary Clinton win would be a third term for Bill Clin-ton.

Yes, it is true that in 2015 three out of five voters express a preference for a candidate who will bring a change to current policies even if he or she is less experienced. It is not altogether clear whether or not this means voters will reject the change that Hill-ary Clinton represents.

There’s little reason to believe that, if elected, Clin-ton’s presidency would be an extension of her spouse’s two terms in office. She’s indisputably her own per-son, who would put her own personal stamp on the presi-dency. A Hillary Clinton White House would channel neither Barack Obama nor Bill Clinton. Her announce-ment video makes clear that she wants to be a fresh start as a fighter for everyday Americans. She is uniquely positioned to find a middle ground for compromise be-tween the rising electorate of women, minorities and youth, and the electorate that characterized much of the 20th century.

The point is, voters do not vote for party as much as they vote on past perfor-mance (good or terrible) of the party in power, and on the character, policies and leadership abilities of the new contenders.

Simply put, the history of party success is no longer an indicator or a predictor of future success. The Daily Beast’s Jeff Greenfield even argues that, given a few changes in history (a few

more votes in a few more states for Nixon in 1960; a few more days of cam-paigning for Humphrey in 1968; and different ballots in Florida in 2000), it could be the case that Americans regularly return a party in power for two terms in the White House for a third.

The United States of America is changing from a white majority to a majority-minority country where no one race or nationality comprises over 50 percent of population. This point will likely be reached by 2043.

While a new consensus is emerging on social values that largely transcend party lines (legal medi-cal marijuana, marriage equality, etc.), there is still a debate over how to end the economic treadmill that keeps most Americans from moving forward. Although millennial Republicans are much less likely than their elders to say government is wasteful and inefficient, they do respond similarly when asked if “government can afford to do much more to help the needy.”

These dynamics have resulted in a highly parti-san divide that Americans seem indifferent to. We are moving from moderate to extreme politics, and that transition will take a leader of extraordinary skills to reverse, and forge collective, unified action.

So, don’t be so quick to be-lieve a pundit or politician when he or she cites past election party successes and says they are predictors of doom (or success) for one party or the other. We have incredible challenges ahead that will determine the winner in 2016. Historical models are useful guides, but they are hardly the gospel truth.

The earthquake that devastated Nepal almost two weeks ago is a reminder that while natural disasters cannot be precisely predicted, they can be foreseen.

Nepal has had major earthquakes before. It will have them again.

The real problem is less the seismic activity than the in-ability of that poor, landlocked nation to prepare for what it knows is coming on some unknown date.

Similarly, we know that major earthquakes will hit Cali-fornia, that massive hurricanes will blow through Florida and the Gulf Coast, that huge tornadoes will rip through Oklahoma and Kansas and, yes, Minnesota will get killer blizzards. Every place on the planet carries some sort of natural risk. The key is preparation.

Consider for a moment the New Madrid Fault, named for the city in southeastern Missouri near it.

It generated, in late 1811 and early 1812, a series of earthquakes powerful enough to be felt in such distant cit-ies as New York and Philadelphia and to reputedly briefly reverse the flow of the Mississippi River.

There wasn’t much in the quake zone then to damage. But today we have major metropolitan areas in the region. A quake there as powerful as the one that rocked Kath-mandu last month might not turn St. Louis or Memphis to rubble, but it would certainly be damaging at the least.

This nation does not lack for resources, but it has at times been lax in preparing for disasters that lie in the unknown future. New Orleans’ levees were poorly de-signed and ill-maintained, and so the city was swamped by Hurricane Katrina.

An estimated third of the damage wrought in Miami-Dade County by Hurricane Andrew in 1992 could have been avoided had building codes been properly enforced.

Americans are increasingly settling in areas vulnerable to wide-scale disasters. They need to be ready for those calamities when they arrive.

Preparing for disasters in the future is foreseeable

Despite soft oil prices and the active drilling rig count in North Dakota's oil patch dropping by more than half compared to a year ago, resi-dential and commercial con-struction activity remains strong in the western half of the state.

Concerns over the impact depressed oil prices might have on local economies and business activity don't appear to be coming to frui-tion at this point. Bismarck-Mandan contractors as well as the Williston Basin are again busy this spring.

In Bismarck, 56 single-family home permits have been issued so far this year through April compared to 58 last year. Industrial building activity is up since last year, with 33 permits issued compared to 15 in 2014. For commercial, it's 17 compared to 20.

In Watford City, the oil-driven construction boom is again going strong this spring. Steven Williams, the

city's building inspector in-dicated, "People are throw-ing up buildings as fast as they can and plan to pay it off in two years. That's the nature of the boom," he said.

Cities like Watford City situated squarely in the Williston Basin, are begin-ning to transition from RV campers and apartments, to homes. In 2010, census figures indicated Watford City had 1,700 people. Today, studies show it could grow to 20,000. Without question, more permanent housing options will be needed going forward.

Overall, construction activity will likely remain brisk in western North Da-kota. While there's certainly more to the state's economy than just oil, the Bakken continues to significantly influence economic activity not only in the northwest part of the state, but in communities like Bismarck-Mandan.

North Dakota's oil indus-try, despite depressed prices currently, is a long-term proposition. The lifespan of the Bakken shouldn't be measured in months based on the price of oil today, but rather years based on long-term trends.

Estimates from the Department of Mineral Resources indicate the potential for 55,000 to 60,000 wells to be drilled in the Williston Basin within the next 20 years. That means more people living in west-ern North Dakota than ever before.

More people and subse-quently more single-family housing, commercial and industrial structures put in place over the course of time, will create the type of permanence oil-impacted communities need. Building hometowns in and around the oil-patch, continues to be a work in progress.

Dear Annie: Many years ago, “Hazel” sat next to me in high school and appar-ently had a crush on me. (I had no clue.) She mar-ried someone else, and her husband passed away 20 years ago. Four years later, she met “Larry,” who is married and says he can’t divorce because of his religion. He tells Hazel he loves her and often drops by with gifts. She told him she loves him, but just as a friend. She thinks he is wonderful but says there is nothing physical between them.

My wife died a year ago. A few months later, Hazel contacted me. We hit it off right away. She lives three hours away, so we take turns visiting every two weeks. We get along very well, except when the sub-ject of Larry comes up.

Hazel says her relation-ship with him is over now that I’m in the picture, but I discovered that he had stopped by again with a gift. She said she didn’t let him in the door. The other day, she slipped and called me “Larry.” She apolo-gized, but you can imagine how that made me feel. I’m starting to believe I’m her rebound guy. I think she is crazy about Larry and if his wife should die, she’d be at his door in a heart-beat.

Is it possible for Larry

and Hazel to be such good friends with-out some-thing more going on? He even told her about his erectile dysfunction, but I worry that may have come from first-hand knowl-

edge. Hazel says she loves me and has for years, but the “green-eyed monster” has taken over my heart, and I don’t know how to get rid of these jealous feel-ings. -- Very Confused

Dear Confused: Your jealousy is not completely unfounded. Hazel rejected Larry not because she dis-likes him, but because he is married. If that obstacle didn’t exist, there is indeed the possibility that she would be more interested in him, especially since he seems to be quite inter-ested in her. Their relation-ship is friendship mixed with flirting, and that is why you react so negative-ly toward him.

You are not the rebound guy. You’re the backup. Ha-zel needs to tell Larry to pay more attention to his wife -- no more gifts, no more sur-prise visits, no more intimate confidences, and the friend-

ship must include you. If she is unwilling to do this, her attachment to him is stronger than it should be. Either give her time to see whether she becomes more connected to you, or let her go.

Dear Annie: “Like Preg-nant Not Fat,” I am amazed at how rude people can be to pregnant women.

I am pregnant with my second child and have been asked, “Was this pregnancy planned?” It is such a per-sonal and nosy question, it stuns me. Any sugges-tions on how to respond? -- Expecting Mom in the Midwest

Dear Expecting: The de-fault response to nosy, in-trusive questions is, “Why do you need to know?” But if any of our readers has a better one, we’ll be happy to print it. And by the way, we now have a Facebook page: Facebook.com/AskAnnies. So check it out, like it, share it and post comments!

Lisa Kudrow, who made her name as Phoebe on “Friends,” said, “I think it’s always a good move to lis-ten to that inner voice, if it doesn’t lead to a crime.”

Some bridge players follow their inner voices. But most should analyze each deal, considering the alternatives. Here, South is in four spades. West leads a trump. (What do you think of that choice?) How should South plan the play?

After South opened with a weak two-bid, North responded two no-trump, which asked South to define his hand. With a maximum, South rebid three diamonds, showing his “feature,” which is typically the ace or king of that suit.

Many players would draw trumps and run the heart jack, but should fail. East wins with his king and shifts to the diamond queen. The defenders take two tricks in that suit, then sit back and wait for a club winner. In-stead, declarer should draw trumps ending on the board and lead a low heart toward his jack.

If West could take that trick with the heart king, he would do best to shift to clubs. How-ever, South would win with dummy’s ace and cash the heart ace-queen, discarding the diamond four from his hand. Declarer would lose only one trick in each side suit.

Here, if East wins with his heart king, South gets six spades, three hearts and one club. If East ducks, South loses only two diamonds and one club.

Finally, West made a poor choice of opening lead. He should have selected the club three. Don’t be afraid to lead from a king, especially around to a weak hand.

BY ANDREW SELIGMANAP SPORTS WRITER

CHICAGO (AP) — LeBron James watched his coach draw up the final play — and then drew one up of his own.

"Give me the ball and get out of the way," he said.

James overruled Cleveland coach David Blatt's idea for a last-second inbounds play and drained a jumper from the corner at the buzzer to give the Cavaliers an 86-84 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, evening the Eastern Conference semifi-nal series at 2-2.

During a stoppage the Cavs only got because the officials were reviewing a play, Blatt designed a play that had James taking the ball out. The four-time NBA MVP has been in enough pressure situations that he vetoed his coach.

"I was supposed to take the ball out," James said. "I told Coach there was no way I'm taking the ball out unless I could shoot it over the backboard and go in. So I told him, 'Have somebody else take the ball out.' The play that was drawn up, I scratched it. I just told Coach, 'Just give me the ball. We're either going to go into overtime or I'm going to win it for us.'"

James, playing the final quarter on a sprained left ankle, finished with 25 points to help the Cavaliers win in another wild finish, returning the favor after Chicago took Game 3 on Der-rick Rose's banked 3-pointer at the horn.

This time, James got whistled for an offensive foul when he elbowed Mike Dun-leavy Jr., and Rose scored

on a driving layup with 9.4 seconds left. Blatt tried to call a timeout but didn't have one and assistant Tyronn Lue alertly pulled him off the court.

Then, following an ani-mated break, James ended it with the 21-foot jumper over Jimmy Butler, setting off a wild celebration by Cleve-land's players who pinned James to the scorer's table.

Game 5 of the best-of-seven series that's had about everything is Tuesday night in Cleveland.

James rolled his left ankle in the third quarter, but fought off the injury. He committed eight turnovers and struggled again from the field, hitting 10 of 30 shots after going 8 of 25 in Game 3. But he also had 14 rebounds, eight assists and a shot that gave Cleveland fans some comfort after Rose broke their hearts on Friday night.

"There's nothing you can do about it," Rose said of James' contested jumper. "He hit a great shot. He's a hell of a player. We just have

to make sure that if we're in that position again, just make sure that we force him out a little bit more or make someone else get the ball."

Kyrie Irving, playing with a sprained right foot, was 2 of 10 and had 12 points and two assists.

Timofey Mozgov had 15 points and nine rebounds, and J.R. Smith, who was suspended for Games 1 and 2, came on strong for Cleveland down the stretch, scoring 11 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND (AP) — The first batter of the game didn't go well for Danny Salazar. The rest of the day certainly did.

Salazar retired 21 straight hitters after allowing a leadoff home run, and the Cleveland Indians defeated the Minnesota Twins 8-2 on Sunday.

Indians manager Terry Francona thought Brian Dozier's early homer was a turning point for Salazar.

"I think he got upset with himself and you saw what happened," Francona said. "He really kicked it in gear."

Salazar (4-1) was in com-plete command after giving up Dozier's drive, the only hit he allowed. The right-hander matched his career high with 11 strikeouts, including six in a row, and didn't walk a batter in seven innings.

Lonnie Chisenhall hit a three-run homer in the fifth, when Cleveland broke it open by scoring five times.

Salazar said he stayed cool and calm after the home run.

"Not much," he said when asked what was going through his mind at the time. "It was a bad pitch. I try to be aggressive every pitch. I tried to stay at the same pace."

Salazar was removed after 102 pitches. He struck out the side in the fifth and sixth.

Carlos Santana drove in three runs, Jason Kipnis had three hits and two RBIs, and David Murphy was 4 for 4 for Cleveland.

Minnesota had its four-game winning streak snapped and lost for only the second time in 11 games. The Twins are 17-8 since April 13.

A trio of Cleveland pitch-ers combined for 16 strike-

outs in a two-hitter. Zach McAllister struck out three in the eighth. Cody Allen fanned two in the ninth and gave up Joe Mauer's RBI single.

Twins starter Trevor May (2-3) allowed six runs and nine hits in four innings.

The 25-year-old Salazar is showing signs of the pitcher who helped the Indians make the playoffs in 2013 and started the wild-card game against Tampa Bay. He struggled last season and be-gan this year in the minors, but has been dominant since getting called up April 18.

Salazar has struck out 48 in 33 innings, and the Indians are 5-1 in games he's started. He was well aware he struck out six straight in the fifth and sixth.

"Oh yeah, nobody got on base," Salazar said with a laugh.

Francona was pleased Salazar didn't walk anyone and worked ahead in the count the entire game.

"That's great," the man-ager said. "I love that. That's very important."

Twins manager Paul Moli-tor was impressed with how

Salazar handled Minnesota's lineup, which roughed up Cleveland's pitching staff during the first two games of the series.

"He kind of cruised," Moli-tor said. "Velocity seemed to pick up — he was throwing harder at the end than he was in the beginning. His changeup was disappearing, especially on the left-handed hitters. He was tough, no doubt about that."

The Indians, who have worst record in the Ameri-can League (11-19), improved to 5-10 at home.

UP NEXTTwins: Minnesota is off

Monday and will open a three-game series in De-troit on Tuesday. RHP Kyle Gibson, who pitched six scoreless innings in his last start, will go for the Twins. He hasn't given up a run in 17 1-3 innings.

Indians: Cleveland opens a three-game interleague series at home Tuesday against St. Louis after being off Monday. RHP Carlos Carrasco, who has won his last two starts, will face the Cardinals.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Corey Perry crumpled to the ice and crawled to the bench in the second period, his right leg hanging limply from his torso after a leg-on-leg hit. Just a few minutes later, Anaheim's top goal-scorer willed himself back onto the ice.

A period or so after that, Perry bounced up off his knees and leaned into a goalmouth scramble to score the goal that propelled the streaking Ducks into the Western Conference finals.

"Textbook Perry," Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen said with a grin.

Perry scored his seventh goal of an incredible post-season 2:26 into overtime, and the Ducks eliminated the Calgary Flames with a 3-2 victory Sunday night in Game 5 of their second-round series.

Matt Beleskey got the tying power-play goal early in the third period for the Ducks, who have won eight of their nine playoff games this spring. They will face the Chicago Blackhawks for a spot in the Stanley Cup finals in a tantalizing colli-sion of two NHL powers.

With another clutch goal from Perry in a postseason full of them, the Pacific Division champion Ducks finished off the Flames and clinched a spot in their first conference finals since 2007, the year of their only NHL championship.

"(Perry) takes a beating in every game, so it's no surprise to see him come back and score that goal," said Beleskey, who scored in each of the series' five games. "That's who he is."

The Ducks thought they had lost Perry to an appar-ent leg injury in the second period when he collided with Calgary's Matt Stajan, but he returned moments later.

BY DOUG FERGUSONAP GOLF WRITER

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods swung driver on the seventh hole and it went right down the middle.

His driver, not the golf ball.This wasn't a fit of dis-

gust Sunday at The Players Championship, rather one of those times where Woods feels trapped between the old swing he is trying to forget and the new one he is trying to build. He let the club go after impact, and it traveled some 15 feet. The golf ball went 275 yards, offline and near the face of a bunker.

Standing next to the water cooler, Woods said loud enough for those around him to hear, "Old swing, new release pattern."

His earlier birdie was erased by a bogey on that hole, just as three straight birdies to start the back nine were erased by a triple bogey — the third time this week he had to put a 7 on his scorecard. It added to an even-par 72 and his worst position in 17 trips to The Players Championship.

"It was a mixed bag pretty much all week," Woods said. "A lot of really, really good stuff out there, some medio-cre and some bad. What did I have? Three 7s on the week. That's not very good."

Woods has worst 72-hole effort at Players

BY HOWARD FENDRICHAP SPORTS WRITER

WASHINGTON (AP) — All of 40 seconds into Game 6, Chris Kreider scored for the New York Rangers. Did it again with all of 0.3 seconds left in the first period.

And after the Rangers nearly let all of a three-goal lead slip away late, Henrik Lundqvist helped them hang on.

Once so close to being out of the playoffs altogether, the Rangers are suddenly a Game 7 victory away from eliminating the Washing-ton Capitals and returning to the Eastern Conference finals.

Kreider got things started with his goals, Rick Nash put his first of the series into the net 54 seconds into the third period, and Dan Boyle tacked on a score that turned out to be vital, helping the Rangers hold on to edge the Capitals 4-3 on Sunday night and even the second-round series at three games apiece.

"We went back on our heels a little bit, and they just kept pushing," New York center Derek Stepan said. "Luckily, we had four, because we needed all four of them."

New York led 2-0 thanks to Kreider — the 24-year-old dynamo out of Boston Col-lege with 16 career playoff goals already, including four in this series — then 4-1 with less than 12 1/2 minutes left.

"We just can't put our-selves in that hole," Capitals forward Tom Wilson said.

But Evgeny Kuznetsov and Joel Ward put the puck past Lundqvist less than 3 minutes apart to make it a one-goal game with nearly half a period to go.

"We're relentless," Capitals goalie Braden Holtby said.

So, too, are the Rangers.The Presidents' Trophy

winners this season and Stanley Cup runners-up a year ago trailed 3-1 in this series and 1-0 with 101 sec-onds left in the third period.

Success with

MeaningCristy

LeBaron

As kids, most of us are told that we can become what-ever it is that we want to be: doctors, presidents, pastors, missionaries, artists, musi-cians, everything is on the table. As we get older, we are guided towards a standard "A, B, C plan" which should lead toward our success. You know the plan I'm talking about; go to college, build a career, start a family. Don't get me wrong, there is noth-ing wrong with this plan. It is an effective plan for a good number of people. However, we're all wired quite differ-ently, and for some of us that plan just doesn’t work. Some of us will achieve greatness by hacking away at a new path, and arriving in our own time.

During my interview with John Chin, I was inspired by his drive to get out of his comfort zone, and grow, however possible. Like many of us, John didn’t hit the ground run-ning passionately towards his future.

I was lazy in high school. I had two straight F report cards and I didn’t have enough credits to gradu-ate. My poor grades were mainly a result of skipping class too much, and hav-ing very low self esteem. However, because I moved from Maryland to Florida, I had just enough credits to sneak by and graduate.

I hated school so much that I never even tested for college. It just wasn’t a path I wanted to pursue and I couldn’t see how it was relevant to real life.

As soon as I graduated high school, I joined the Air Force just to get out of Panama City, Florida. I worked very hard in the Air Force, but I was ultimately passed up for an early pro-motion, in my perception, due to politics, which really

inspired me to do something different. I didn’t want outside in-fluences to dictate my success. I wanted it to be strictly based on how I per-formed.

That ten-sion, that awareness that I could be succeed-ing somewhere else, that is what pushed me out of my comfort zone, towards starting my own business. I started visiting the library and researching the best job for me. I picked up the book Super Self by Charles J. Givens, which was my first self development book ever. From there I just started reading everything I could get my hands on. That’s about the time I got my real estate license and started selling houses.

For many of us, lack of confidence and fear of failure are huge stumbling blocks. John's perspective on failure and growing con-fidence is definitely some-thing to take note of.

Building confidence is about the small wins that stack up. One feeds the next, and the snowball grows. It was passing my real estate exam on the first try. It was making my first 3 sales. It was earning a Top Producer award when I was a as a part-timer in an office full of seasoned veterans. The next win was always more significant than the last and that pro-pelled me. I actually started a journal to chronicle the things I did that day to get me closer to my goal and all

the small “wins.” Reflect-ing back allows us to see all those little things that we accomplish to keep the momentum going.

Rejection doesn’t bother me at all, I don’t take failure personally. What bothers us is the meaning we assign to failure. As I have grown confidence, I’ve reframed the meaning of failure as simply feedback to try a different way.

A common thread in John's life, which has al-lowed him to experience success, was his focus on personal growth. It was joining the Air Force, taking those trips to the library to research careers, setting personal goals and taking note of every single accomplishment. All of those little efforts work together to increase your self confidence, and your potential.

Are you taking the time to give yourself credit for all of your small wins? Try it out. These small efforts toward building our self confidence lead toward a achieving overall success in our lives.

In an effort to help mold children with self confi-dence and self esteem, John Chin has set up a reoccur-ring event called Lemonade Day. Sunday June 14, 2015. Williston.LemonadeDay.org

By participating in this event children are able to formulate plans, bring their ideas to life, and run their very own business for the day. Being able to carry out a plan and experience the feeling of success sparks passion, and drive in children unlike any other activities.

The power of personal growthKLG WELCOMES NEW VICE PRESIDENTS

Last Tuesday, KLG solu-tions announced three vice president positions. The company is proud to welcome Bob Berman, Cory Finneman and Darcy Volk in positions focusing on de-signing strategies to further advance the organization's capabilities across the cor-poration’s portfolio.

Prior to join-ing the corporation, Ber-man worked for Eastman Kodak Company for more than thirty years includ-ing ten years as senior vice president, and chief human resources officer.

Finneman will be serving as Vice President of Client Services. He will focus on opportunities related to client relationships, market-ing and research, branding and communication and business development.

MOUNTRAIL COUNTY HOSPITAL RECEIVES $19,500 DONATION FROM HESS

Last Wednesday, Hess cor-poration presented a check for $19,500 to the Mountrail County Medical Center for the purchase of a new portable X-ray machine for emergency and hospital use.

Beth Venatta, radiology technician, explains the new X-ray machine “The new portable X-ray machine will enable us to provide better care to more patients. We ap-preciate Hess’s support and contribution to make this happen. The new machine will produce better images, have greater mobility, use less radiation, and due to its smaller size, be more acces-sible for patient rooms and trauma care”.

Currently, the hospital has been relying on a 35-year old machine.
