WILLISTON — The county held a sale for the three properties BNSF had wanted for this year’s double track project that goes through Wil-liston, but the buyer of those properties wasn’t BNSF after all.

Calvin Raaum and James Stephan had together bought the three properties for $27,600. Several neighbors were present for the sale as well, but no representatives of BNSF were present.

Stephan said he and Raaum wondered why BNSF didn’t have anyone at the sale, but as the railroad company wasn’t there they decided to bid on the properties. They plan to sell either the land or the rights of

way to the railroad.Though there were other

neighbors there, there was no bidding for the properties. The purchasers paid the minimum price for the land, which was $10,700 for the 1.3 acre tract, $9,900 for the 1.2 acre and $7,000 for the .86 tract.

Auditor Beth Inis told county commissioners that she put in the deed a stipula-tion that the county reserves all oil, gas and mineral rights and so on to itself and that the land itself is unbuildable.

“No building permits will be issued, and the purchasers

WILLISTON — Most of the airports in the state experienced a decrease in the number of people boarding a plane in April as com-pared to last year, but not Willis-ton’s Sloulin Field International.

Enplanements here were up 6.2 percent from April 2014, with 10,378 passengers boarding in April. Year to date, there has been a 7.2 percent increase in enplanements and a 20 percent increase in total passen-gers, according to figures released

by Sloulin airport.“It’s good to see how we are con-

tinuing to grow,” airport manager Steve Kjergaard said. “Most of our enplanements are in oil traffic, and we are still growing because of that.”

Oil charters had slowed two or three months ago, Kjergaard said, but he has been noticing an uptick lately. Kjergaard said many of the companies associated with the energy sector charter their own flights into the area because that’s cheaper than buying so many indi-vidual tickets.

The only other airport in the state to show continued increases in boardings was Bismarck, which reported 18,985 passengers for April, a 13.1 percent increase.

Minot International had the larg-est drop, down almost 16 percent from April 2014, according to a report in the Dickinson Press. Dickinson dropped 8 percent, while Grand Forks International dropped 3 percent. Hector International in Fargo dropped the least at .7 per-cent. Numbers weren’t available

Success and service are often synonymous.

Tom Rolfstad, the incoming president for the Williston Rotary Club has been a pivotal individual in the city’s prosperity. Tom has resided his entire life in Williston with the exception of his college years and five years working at the state level. Tom attended Boise State University and received a degree in Architecture and City Planning.

After graduation, he took a job in Bismarck working in economic development and city planning.

Tom has been involved all throughout the community in dif-ferent service organizations.

He is no stranger to the stagger-ing amount of growth that has occurred in this city, having experi-enced three of the area’s oil booms.

It’s clear the momentum of his career will continue throughout his new venture as 2015-2016 Williston Rotary President.

KM: What made you wait until now to take an office at Rotary?

TR: “(President of Rotary) Is something that I’ve always wanted to do, however, I wanted to wait until I retired. Prior to retiring, my job was fairly demanding and it did take quite a bit of time. I wanted to be able to really devote my attention to the Club.

KM: Is there anything specific that you see yourself doing differ-ently than last year’s 2014-2015 President?

TR: I really want to focus on the strength of the attendance, as well as memberships. I also want to bring interesting, thought-provoking ideas to the meetings. I would also like to

WILLISTON — Last month, Jona-than Abduhl, a German teacher at Williston High School, along with David Hanson, president and CEO of American State Bank, organized a chess tournament that welcomed 39 players. When the dust settled, there were four winners, including 1st place Tyler Hermanson, 2nd place Wesley Nygard, 3rd place Ian Kalil, and 4th place Morgan Squires. The prizes included two chess boards,

and two gift certificates to Famous Dave’s, all provided by American State Bank.

Hard work and dedication paid off for these four individuals, three of whom had experience with the game.

“I just started this year,” said Morgan Squires, a freshman. “Mr. Abduhl placed me in the 39th seat

and I moved up to the 4th seat.” Squires’ chess mates, juniors Tyler

and Ian, and fellow freshman Wesley dabbled in chess from young ages, all picked the game right back up when entering high school.

Lucille Nygaard, 101, for-merly of Minot and Plaza, passed away on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 at the Bethel Lutheran Home in Willis-ton. Her Memorial service will be held Sunday, May 24, at 11:00 a.m. at the Bethke-Nelson Funeral Home in Drake, North Dakota with burial at the Balfour Cem-etery. Visitation will be one hour before the service at the funeral home.

Lucille Bethke, daughter of Aaron and Thea (Jor-genson) Bethke, was born May 23, 1913 at the Bethke homestead in Balfour, ND where she grew up and at-tended school. Lucille was the oldest of four, with three younger brothers. She graduated from Balfour High School in 1931. Lucille attended business college in Minot and then worked in the Ward County Conserva-tion office, where she met Ernest Nygaard.

Lucille was married to Er-nest Nygaard on May 6, 1941 at Zion Lutheran Church in Minot. They made their home in Van Hook where Ernest worked for the Soil

and Water Conser-vation District. They later moved to Plaza, where Er-nest and Lu-cille owned and oper-

ated Nygaard Hardware

Store. They retired in 1980 and moved to Minot. Ernest passed away August 5, 1985. Lucille continued to reside in Minot until moving to the Good Shepherd Home in Watford City in 2012; she transferred to Bethel Lutheran Home in Williston one year later.

Lucille enjoyed com-peting at golf and bowl-ing, she loved crossword puzzles, board games, and flower gardening. She was a wonderful cook, loved to bake and had a weakness for fudge. Lucille was strong and independent, but also very hospitable, gracious and fun! She was loved dearly by her many nieces, nephews and friends. She

was creative, inspiring, and generous with her time and resources. Lucille was a great role model to her fam-ily. Through her example, she showed us the value of hard work, honesty, love and laughter.

Lucille is survived by her niece, Kim ( Mark) Bekke-dahl of Nampa, ID and their three children: Cally (Jay) Younger, Maycee (Kendall) Gielow, and Hudson; her niece Tami (Bruce) McNeil of North Oaks, MN, and their three children: Catie, Tara, and Rob; her nephew, Lance (Sheila) Bethke of Williston and their four children: Courtney (Justin) Arneson, Cameron, Bailey, and Sidney; her niece Ardis (David) Loock, and their children Tammy, Tanya, and Travis; sister-in-law, Bobbie Bethke of Williston; and cousins, Alex Sahr of Fargo and Jennie Bentz of Bismarck.

She was preceded in death by her parents and three brothers, Alden, Gordon, and Wallace and her hus-band, Ernest.

BY KATHERINE MOOREWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — Of the 66 district clubs, made up of more than 3,100 members, Williston Rotary received third place for International Awards.

That’s no small feat.“In Rotary, awards are

a big part of gauging how

well your club is doing among other clubs in the regional district,” said Mark Schneider,Williston Rotary’s current President.

But the recognition didn’t stop there. The Williston Ro-tary Club also received the Highest award of the year at this year’s District Conven-tion, similar to the Oscars of Rotary, Ken Callahan won

the Rotarian of the Year. Callahan has been instru-

mental in the many facets of Rotary service.

Among Callahan’s efforts with the Rotary, he’s partici-pated in bell ringing for the Salvation Army, and served as the foundation chairper-son, trying to exemplify the Rotary motto of “Service above Self.”

WILLISTON — Millions live with a condition that has been prevalent their en-tire lives that requires day-to-day coping and adjusting.

Diabetes was the topic at Tuesday afternoon’s Lunch and Learn seminar, and those on hand gained new information on diabetes management.

Mercy Medical Center provided the physical and mental nourishment at the ARC meeting room. The guest speaker was Dr. Pugatch, who specializes in internal medicine at Mercy Medical Center.

The seminar focused on informing the attendees of

Type 2 Diabetes, the symp-toms, prevention, and how to cope with it.

“If it’s white, don’t bite” stated Internal Medicine physician Dr. Pugatch as he explained the importance of watching your carbohydrate intake and making sure it is good carbohydrates, such as whole grain wheat bread.

Throughout the discus-sion, trends were shown that expressed the changes in diabetes and obesity throughout the nation, and how Type 2 Diabetes shows up in young adults and children.

“It is no longer referred to as adult onset diabetes due cases found in adolescence,” Dr. Pugatch continued.

Type 2 diabetes is the most

common form of diabetes in adults. Chances of getting it are increased by inactivity, stress, and weight gain.

Many people who have Type 2 diabetes are not aware they have it in the early stages. Some of the symptoms include frequent urination, typically at night, fatigue, extreme hunger and thirst.

Concluding the discus-sion, Dr. Pugatch stressed the fact that in order to prevent Type 2 Diabetes it’s important to be active, typically exercising 40 min 4 or 5 days a week, watching your diet, and managing your food intake.

Diabetes the topic at Lunch and Learnget someone from the state level once a month, so we can hear, state-level, what’s going on.

KM: In retrospect, what traditions will you keep?

TR: Back in the 50s, dur-ing a typical Rotary meet-ing, members would come in and grab a cigar. They

would conduct meetings in this dark, smoke-filled room. Obviously things have changed a bit since then, but the principles have stayed the same. Some of the core things about Rotary are connections in the busi-ness community. At every meeting you wear a name tag that has not only your name but also, your occupa-

tion title. The idea is that you don’t own that title but you use it while you’re here and someone will pick up when you move on. Just like our logo, which is a gear, the concept is that each member is a cog in that gear, and each member represents a different vocation.Together we work together to turn the gears of Rotary.

Another thing that is very important is service. Our motto is “Service Above Self.” We do things self-lessly, not because we want to be recognized for doing it. Some of the things we do locally are scholarship programs, hosting Banquet West monthly, and even book donations to the Library. We also work with Rotary Inter-national in the fight against polio, which we only have 3 more countries left until the disease is eradicated.

The continued growth of the Williston airport underscores the need to relocate the airport so that it can keep pace with future demand for flights in and out of Williston, Kjer-gaard said.

The new location will be able to accommodate aircraft carrying up to 200 passen-gers, something that would be difficult, if not impossible, to accommodate at the pres-ent location due to the federal requirements involved.

The new airport also has a new name to go with its new location. The new name is a re-quirement of the FAA, which considers having an old name at a new location too confusing for pilots.

The new name, chosen by a committee that included representatives of the VA, is Williston Basin International Airport, and the terminal will be called Sloulin Terminal.

Sloulin was named after a couple whose two sons died during World War II. They do-nated land to the city to build its airport.

“The new name reflects that the airport is not just serving Williston, but the region,” Kjergaard said. “We want people to realize we are a regional airport.”

Airports are economic gen-erators for communities, and the expansion is another key element to positioning Wil-liston as a regional hub in the Mondak area.

A 2008/09 survey found that

Sloulin generated $25 million in economic development, Kjergaard said.

“And that was just when the boom started,” he added. “We were not as busy then as we are now.”

Kjergaard believes that a survey done today would triple or quadruple those numbers.

“The impact it provides is astonishing,” he said. “It’s a major thing when you come into a city. People want to know how is the air service? The fact that people don’t have to drive to Minot, Dickinson or Bismarck, that’s a selling point to draw in more busi-ness, talent and people into the community.”

Kjergaard said they are still looking at a completion date of 2017 for the new and larger airport.

The environmental assess-ment is being wrapped up, af-ter which they’ll file a letter of intent with the FAA to trigger the funding mechanism.

Williston has applied for $120 million for the airport’s relocation and expansion. The total cost of the relocation is estimated between $240 and $250 million.

Once the funding mecha-nism is set, the land-buying process can begin. Once the land is purchased, bids go out, contracts get awarded, and dirt work can begin. Kjergaard said the likely start of con-struction is next year, while this year will be focused on design.

understood that,” Inis said.

Commissioners ap-proved the sale unani-mously during their most recent county com-mission meeting.

Inis said the railroad will now have to deal with the new land-owners to acquire the property it wanted, or alternately, easements for their project.

The sale was prompted by a request in March by Mike Tenney, a repre-sentative of Cinnabar Southwest, which is the company acquiring rights of way for BNSF. The land was needed, the representative explained, to construct standard embankment setbacks to minimize erosion on the double track project in Wil-liston. A representa-tive of BNSF said they were continuing to pursue purchase of the properties, but did not give a reason why they were not present. Tenney could not be reached for comment.

The double track is part of $326 million in improvement projects BNSF has planned for North Dakota in 2015. In addition to build-ing 37 more miles of double track between Williston and Minot, BNSF plans to extend siding projects in

areas between Mandan and Glendive, Montana.

They’ll also be expand-ing the Dickinson Yard to accommodate growth in single car volumes, and installing Central-ized Traffic Control proj-ects in various locations to manage rail traffic more efficiently.

This is the third year in a row the railroad has committed a record amount of capital im-provements in its grow-ing markets. Last year they spent $1 billion in North Dakota and laid 55 miles of double track between Minot and Wil-liston, as well as add-ing siding projects and acquiring more locomo-tives.

throw off your oppo-nent by random moves,” said Tyler Hermanson. “Chess strengthens your mentality.”

In chess, there is no such thing as luck, said winner Wesley Nygard. It is all mind vs mind; there are no variables; it is the same setup every time.

Abduhl was very impressed with how well everyone did and with the size of the turnout. But if there would be a most improved, it would have to be Squires.

“I have never been very big, so I never did physi-cal sports, then I became interested in chess,” Squires said. “This way I get the chance to compete more and be a part of a team.”

Each winner explained his favorite move.

“The scholar’s mate, because you get things over fast,” said Tyler Hermanson

“I always use the king’s Indian defense because it is passive, but a solid move,” said Wesley Ny-gard.

“I use the two-piece check,” Kalil said. “Be-cause you’ve beat your opponent not only once but twice.”

“I like any power piece because I am in control and winnin,” Squires

said.Abduhl considers Her-

manson to be his most adroit pupil.

“Tyler is very consis-tent and very good, we don’t play because the game would take too long,” Abduhl explained. “If I could label Tyler’s skills, they would be equal to mine and I have played for years” said Abduhl.

Abduhl, along with his chess extraordinaires hope to make chess an official club at the high school and set up more tournaments.

“This year we only had one tournament, hope-fully next year we can have three,” Abduhl said. “Tyler, Ian, Wesley, and Morgan all agreed that they want to play more people, hopefully that can happen. We have big plans for next year.”

Tyler, Ian, Wesley, and Morgan expressed their appreciation for Abduhl.

“Our chess club wouldn’t have hap-pened if it wasn’t for Mr. Abduhl,” Nygard said. “He helped us a lot with opening his class during lunches for us to play.”

WHITE SHIELD, N.D. (AP) — The family of a North Da-kota soldier deemed missing in action during the Korean War is getting his medals and awards.

The Minot Daily News reports the honors will be given May 30 to the family of Cpl. Elmer Bear, who is from the Fort Berthold Reserva-tion. The ceremony will take place in White Shield with North Dakota National Guard commander Maj. Gen. David Sprynczynatyk (sprihn-sihn-AT’-ik) on hand.

The newspaper says Bear was reported as missing in action since Nov. 26, 1950 after a battle with Chinese forces in North Korea. According to the Depart-ment of Defense’s Prisoner of War/Missing in Action

Accounting Agency, Bear is among more than 7,800 Americans who remain unaccounted for from the Korean War.

Bear’s parents, Robert and Dora, received a telegram in early August 1951 from the War Department informing them their son was missing. His parents ultimately held a memorial service for him near Elbowoods.

He was born in 1927 in Elbowoods, which is now covered by Lake Sakakawea (suh-kah-kuh-WEE’-uh). He served in the military during World War II from December 1945 to 1947, and was a member of the Army Reserves until he was re-called in August 1950.

Bear was married and had a son. Both his wife and son have since died.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A revenue sharing agree-ment that the state has had with the Three Affiliated Tribes since 2008 may be threatened by a new North Dakota law that restructures oil taxes. The Legislature last month passed a mea-sure that shaves the state’s overall oil tax rate. Three Affiliated Tribes officials haven’t been thrilled by the tax cut and have hinted that they may pull out of the revenue-sharing agreement with the state because of it.

The agreement limits oil tax rates on tribal land, and spells out how oil revenues are shared with the state.

Tax commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger says he’s hopeful a new agreement

can be reached soon.Data show that since the

agreement was adopted, the state has collected $789 mil-lion in oil revenue, with the tribe getting $659 million.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A man accused of leading a heroin ring on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Zachariah Walker pleaded guilty in November to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute heroin. Two other charges, includ-ing tampering with a wit-ness, were dropped as part of the plea deal.

Authorities say Walker regularly travelled to Utah to buy drugs to distribute in North Dakota.

He is one of seven people charged in the case.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland ordered Walker to serve three years of su-pervised release when his prison term is completed.

Today in History

On this date:In 1712, the original

version of Alexander Pope’s satirical mock-heroic poem “The Rape of the Lock” was published anonymously.

In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act, which was intended to encourage settlements west of the Mississippi River by mak-ing federal land available for farming.

In 1902, the United States ended a three-year military presence in Cuba as the Republic of Cuba was established under its first elected president, Tomas Estrada Palma.

In 1925, the newly built headquarters of the United States Chamber of Commerce was formally dedicated in Washington

In 1927, Charles Lind-bergh took off from Roosevelt Field in Long Island, New York, aboard the Spirit of St. Louis on his historic solo flight to France.

In 1932, Amelia Earhart took off from Newfound-land to become the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. (Because of weather and equipment problems, Earhart set down in Northern Ireland instead of her intended destination, France.)

In 1942, during World War II, the Office of Civil-ian Defense was estab-lished.

In 1959, nearly 5,000 Japanese-Americans had their U.S. citizenships restored after choosing to renounce them during World War II.

In 1961, a white mob at-tacked a busload of Free-dom Riders in Montgom-ery, Alabama, prompting the federal government to send in U.S. marshals to restore order.

Oil prices have become much less volatile in recent weeks as the record short position previously es-tablished by hedge funds has been squared up and prices return to a level at which many U.S. shale wells are profitable.

Realized volatility, a technical measure of the day to day variability in prices, has fallen to an annualized rate of just 24 per-cent, down by more than half from its peak of 60 percent in late February.

Volatility in front-month Brent futures has dropped to its lowest level for almost five months and is now roughly in line with the very long-run average of about 27 percent.

After displaying its wild side, the oil market has reverted to a milder state, to use terms employed by Benoit Mandelbrot to describe erratic volatility in commodity markets (“The (mis)behavior of markets” 2004).

The reduction in volatility reflects a num-ber of factors of which the most important is the squaring up of the record short positions which hedge funds and other money managers between November and March.

The period of heightened volatility corresponded closely with the emergence of a large position of more than 100 million barrels (at one point more than 200 million barrels) in futures and options linked to the price of U.S. crude.

Since hedge funds and other money managers are not gen-erally able to make physical delivery the need to close out these positions prior to expiry became a significant source of uncertainty overhanging the market.

But the hedge funds’ combined short positions in WTI-linked derivatives had been reduced from 209 million barrels on March 17 to 150 million on April 14 and just 82 million by May 12, according to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

The combined short has been reduced to a more normal level and in the process has pushed prices for both WTI and Brent up by $20 per barrel to a level close to most estimates of the breakeven needed by U.S. shale producers.

The forces acting on the oil market now appear broadly balanced as do the positions of the speculative community, which may explain the relative absence of big price moves recently.

Consumption of gasoline and diesel is growing strongly, thanks to the sharp drop in prices compared with the first half of 2014.

Crude stockpiles have peaked in the United States, at least for the time being, as refineries run at record rates for the time of year.

U.S. shale production is expected to level off in the next few months after surging in 2014.

On the bearish side, crude supplies remain ample, Saudi Arabia is exporting high volumes to Asia, and U.S. shale producers may decide to expand drilling again, adding even more barrels back into the market.

Iran’s exports could also rise if it reaches a successful nuclear deal with the United States and the other perma-nent members of the United Nations Security Council.

But any extra Iranian supplies are unlikely to reach the market until the end of 2015 or well into 2016 given the time needed to implement an accord.

With Brent fluctuating just over $65 per barrel and WTI around $60, all these factors now appear to have been incor-porated into expectations.

Many hedge fund managers have no strong bullish or bearish bias at current price levels, and there is little impe-tus for a big move until something changes.

One really has to wonder, why all the fuss about Jeb Bush?

Yes, of course, he does have a careless tongue and a delivery that reminds you of your tax accountant. And after listening to him for a while, one has to stop oneself from asking how he got the moniker in Bush family lore as the “smart son.”

But, hey, give him at least some credit. He’s being criticized for clinging to his family in his thinking on the Iraq war; but if you take a closer look, that isn’t the case at all.

In fact, his eminent father, George H.W. Bush -- whom many, including myself, believe to be the finest presi-dent of our generation -- was so against ANY idea of going into Iraq that, during the 1991 Gulf War, we invaded Kuwait to drive the Iraqis out of Kuwaiti oilfields and then stopped the allied forces precisely at the Iraqi border.

President/father Bush, supported by his brilliant Secretary of State James E. Baker III, deliberately halted the troops at the border for moral and ethical reasons. He had sold the Kuwaiti inva-sion to the leaders of Arab nations such as Egypt on the terms that their troops and ours would NOT go into Iraq itself. He further ac-complished the remarkable feat of having all the other nations PAY for the entire thing!

Gen. Brent Scowcroft, one of Father Bush’s long-time closest advisers and friends, explained recently on televi-sion how Bush and politi-cal broker Baker intended to make the Gulf War an example. “It was the first conflict after the Cold War,” Scowcroft said, “and we wanted to establish rules.” It was to lay the groundwork for the United States and the Russians to agree on interna-tional norms, like the rules

of warfare and the rules of combatant status.

(So far as one can as-certain, the pictures of Iraqi troops pitifully giving up to American journalists, which actual-ly happened, has had no lasting ef-fect.)

So, if Jeb had taken his father’s example, he would have stood in the footsteps of men and women who led one of the most successful presidencies this nation has ever seen. But since he has stepped forward as a possible candidate, he has appeared -- in his disastrous four at-tempts to clarify where he stood on the Iraq invasion -- to unite himself with his brother George W. Bush.

He has taken into his infant campaign, not his father’s superlative public servants, Baker and Scow-croft, but his brother’s -- Paul Wolfowitz, who dreamed of a democracy in Iraq in order to serve the purposes of Israel. He has said that no one could know that Saddam and Iraq would respond to the inva-sion the way they did, and in fact, he called for a greater U.S. presence in Iraq to rid the country of the “barbaric Islamist threat.”

Lord help us, he then told reporters at a Chamber of Commerce speech in Tempe, Arizona, “I think we need to re-engage and do it in a more forceful way!”

RE-ENGAGE? Yes, he said it, and he said it at the same time Ramadi was falling to the Islamic State or ISIS, the “new” Iraqi army was again “disengaging” by fleeing to Baghdad, and we were ap-

proving of sending the hated Shiite militias to fight the battle we don’t want to fight.

Actually, what is most wrong with Jeb Bush is, at least from these first appear-ances on the campaign trail, he seems not to understand the very basics about the Iraq War. For instance, that of course Saddam would lie about his weapons -- to fool and scare his neighbors!

The Pentagon and CIA accepted the weapons-of-mass-destruction-in-Iraq story from an Iraqi adven-turer even the Germans had warned them against. The U.S. then dismissed most of Saddam’s officer corps, leav-ing them free to form ISIS in the shadows of a disintegrat-ing Syria. Finally, if you look at the entire somber picture, you can see that the U.S. itself helped form ISIS every time it landed troops on Arab or Afghan land.

As someone who has been in Iraq eight times, interviewed Saddam Hus-sein in 1973 and many of his military during the 1980s war with Iran, I can assure the good reader that Iraq simply in and of itself is enough to defeat outside invaders. It is a country of tribe-against-tribe, of cousin-against-cousin, of deserts impervi-ous to human intrusion and of rivers that have changed course deceptively over the centuries, leaving great civi-lizations in ruins and shards. Primeval bitterness is its sweetest drink and destruc-tion its hobby.

In the end, this aftermath of the Iraq war -- in which the invasion continues in the fight against the Washington-created ISIS -- does not stand by itself. We are fighting Viet-nam, Cambodia, Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan; we are repeating the mistakes of these disastrous wars we did not have to fight that now hang like a historic noose around our neck.

Oil volatility fades as risks become more balanced

Nurtured by Clinton network, O’Malley now becomes rival BY LISA LERER AND KEN THOMASASSOCIATED PRESS

More than a decade ago, Bill Clinton spotted a political star in the making, someone he predicted would go from a big-city mayor to a national leader — maybe even to the White House. “I won’t be surprised if you go all the way,” Clinton wrote in a 2002 letter to Baltimore’s mayor, Martin O’Malley.

In the years that followed, Bill and Hillary Rodham Clin-ton showed up time and again as their young ally gained stature as governor of Maryland, hosting fundraisers, headlining rallies and connecting him to their sprawling network of political donors.

Now, O’Malley is just days away from walking down the path Clinton laid out for him more than a decade ago, as he prepares to announce his presidential campaign in Bal-timore on May 30. And that means transforming himself from one of Hillary Clinton’s most loyal supporters into her chief adversary for the Democratic nomination.

“It’s certainly been a long and friendly relationship,” said Steve Kearney, a former O’Malley aide. “Times change. He clearly thought she was the best candidate in 2008. We’ll find out whether that remains true today.”

O’Malley quickly endorsed Clinton in her nomination contest with Barack Obama, raised at least $500,000 for her from Maryland donors when he was governor, defended her on cable news and traveled to New Hampshire to campaign for her.

“If I can, I will help her, wherever I can, whenever I can,” O’Malley said then.

Today, O’Malley says that while he maintains “tremen-dous respect” for the Clintons, Democratic voters deserve more than a coronation. “What would be more awkward is if no one were willing to compete for the Democratic party’s nomination for president,” he told NPR last month. “That would be an extreme poverty indeed.”

Hillary Clinton, who last spoke to O’Malley in October at a Maryland campaign rally, and her advisers remain reluc-tant to comment on O’Malley’s candidacy. But some long-time supporters see his bid as an opportunistic maneuver to remain relevant, after his hand-picked Democratic succes-sor lost the governor’s race last year in heavily Democratic Maryland.

Dear Annie: I recently dated a woman who never offered to pay for a meal, a movie or so much as an ice cream cone. We went out several times.

We’re both in our late 50s and earn good incomes. She says she won’t pay for things until she is in a committed relationship. I have no problem paying for anything that I invite her to. But she would sug-gest things for us to do and never offer to pay. What’s the etiquette these days? -- Ron

Dear Ron: This is often a generational issue. Women who were brought up to believe the man pays for everything sometimes have difficulty sharing the costs. And some men resist it, as well.

But women who feel un-comfortable paying half the tab in a restaurant can reciprocate by inviting the guy over for a home-cooked meal or getting tickets to a play or a concert. A woman who refuses to make any ef-fort in that direction is not playing fair.

Dear Annie: Last fall we had a baby girl, and at the last minute, I decided on the name “Jane.” Unaware of this, my husband’s cous-in’s wife commented that she had always loved the

name “Jane” and that she and her husband had picked it out as the name they would someday give their child. Had I known this, I would have selected a different name for my

child.Well, this cousin is now

pregnant with a girl. And even though our child is named “Jane,” they are planning to name theirs the same. I know I can’t tell them to change it because I had it first, but it still up-sets my husband and me.

I believe, out of respect, they should pick a different name. After all, there were a lot of names I wanted, but they were already taken, so I chose something else.

Am I wrong? How do I calm down about this? -- I Picked It First

Dear Picked: No one has a monopoly on baby names, even if you are close rela-tives. This cousin picked “Jane” independently of you. And you admit select-ing “Jane” at the last min-ute. No one is intentionally trying to hurt someone else or deprive them of being

special. We agree that it is easier when close family members choose different names, but truly, it is not as important as you think.

In fact, in some families, cousins are named after the same grandparent and car-ry the same name across generations. It is consid-ered an honor.

Here’s how you calm down: Your child was born first. People already know her as “Jane.” When the cousin’s child is born, peo-ple will be inclined to give her a nickname in order to differentiate between the two babies.

Adopting a lighthearted attitude about this will smooth everyone’s ruffled feathers, including yours, and will allow your child and her newest cousin to become good friends. They will think having the same name is amazing and won-derful. Please don’t be so upset that you inadvertent-ly teach them otherwise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Cancel personal plans in order to complete any responsibilities you’ve left unfinished. You can stabi-lize your position at home or work by completing your tasks without complaint.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Someone will use flattery to goad you into assisting with a business enterprise. Get the facts first, or you could end up in a vulnerable position. Don’t let anyone take advan-tage of you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will feel burdened by the demands being put on you. Don’t complain. Do what you can without compromis-

ing your responsibilities. An indiscreet remark will open old wounds.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will be the person ev-eryone turns to for advice. Your life experience will provide useful knowledge for a youngster in your circle. Don’t preach; offer guidance without judgment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A forgotten promise will cause a rift in a friendship. You will have to pick up the slack if your peers aren’t pulling their weight.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- An unusual social gather-ing will prove to be a starting point for a promising part-nership. A romantic relation-ship may become strained if you spend too much time apart from your partner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You will have to make revi-sions to some personal paper-work. A fast talker will try to swindle you into making a financial commitment. Do your research, or you may get stung.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Simplify your life by making a point to stop

trying to please everyone else. No matter what course you take, there will always be someone who objects. Look out for your own best interests.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t ignore minor aches and pains. Physical is-sues will escalate if you aren’t practical regarding your lifestyle. Eat properly, get ad-equate rest and exercise regu-larly to ensure good health.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Love is on the rise. Be at-tentive, but not possessive. If you are single, attend a social event to meet someone who figures prominently in your future.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Someone close to you will let you down. Don’t dwell on disappointment. Consider this to be a starting point for new beginnings. Your daily routine is likely to be inter-rupted.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Dust off your sense of adventure. Trying a new activity will introduce you to new people and experiences. Don’t allow fear or self-doubt to limit your possibilities.

Kurt Vonnegut, an au-thor who died in 2007, said, “The telling of jokes is an art of its own, and it always rises from some emotional threat. The best jokes are dangerous, and dangerous because they are in some way truthful.”

When a bridge defender is threatening to do some-thing dangerous to your contract, you should try to find a way to defend your-self. In this deal, South is in four hearts. West leads the spade jack. East wins with his ace and returns the spade two. How should declarer continue?

West did not have the greatest one-spade overcall, because his suit was not that robust. But it pays to bid spades. If you find a fit with your partner, the op-ponents have to go up to the next level to outbid you.

Over two hearts, South might have rebid three no-trump. Then North would have been in a quandary. With four trumps, it would be normal to choose the ma-jor-suit game. But the three low spades suggest no-trump because maybe East can get a spade ruff or two. How can three no-trump by South be defeated?

In four hearts, South should realize that East is now out of spades. If East gains a ruff, that and the three missing aces will de-feat the contract. The only way to avoid the spade ruff is for South to take his three club tricks, discarding his last spade on the third. Then he can overruff East.

Against three no-trump, if West leads the spade jack, East must win and shift to a diamond; not easy to find.

Use the bidding to work out the distributions of the opponents’ hands.

=SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Sioux Falls is losing its state Emergency Management of-fice in a move that state public safety officials say will better position them to respond to crises and disasters, especial-ly in smaller communities.

But Minnehaha County officials aren’t sold that re-organization efforts are the right move for South Dakota’s most densely populated metro-politan area, the Argus Leader newspaper reported.

The Office of Emergency Management is eliminating two regional offices by mov-ing its Sioux Falls and Pierre branch responders to Mitchell and Rapid City.

“I think having a person here would be better,” Min-nehaha County Commissioner Jeff Barth said. “The potential for disaster is greater here than it is in, let’s say, Harding County. With our population and the transportation issues, the infrastructure issues that

we have — we could easily have some incredible disas-ters out this way.”

Office of Emergency Man-agement Director Tina Titze acknowledged that but said South Dakota’s largest county and city are well suited to ad-dress emergencies without immediate state help.

Health Talk with Lynn

What is constipation?Constipation in children is defined as delayed or difficulty passing of stools for greater than twoweeks. Many times, constipation in children is due to a child’s fear of a painful bowel movement.This can be caused by a painful experience when toilet training or waiting to go to the bathroombecause he or she is too busy. Other times, it may be caused by changes in the child’s routineor diet.

What is “normal”?Some parents worry their children are constipated if they don’t have a bowel movement everyday. Some children do not have a bowel movement every day. The usual number of bowelmovements depends on how old your child is. How often a child has a bowel movementchanges as the child gets older. It is important to remember that every child is different.Some children will have more bowel movements each day while others will have less.

What should I do if my child is constipated?Constipation in infants and children is rarely a serious condition. If your child is constipated,there are a few things you can do that might help. Children who are constipated should have awell-balanced diet. This includes foods that have fiber. In infants who are eating solid foods, age-appropriate fiber foods such as cereals, apricots, prunes, peaches, pears, plums, beans, and peasshould be given. In older children, raw fruits and vegetables such as figs, dates, raisins, peaches,apricots, celery, cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbage contain fiber and may relieve constipation.Increasing the amount of liquids and fiber in your child’s diet is a good first step. For infants andyoung children, fruit juices containing sorbitol such as apple, pear, or prune juice should be tried.Older children should also increase the amount of water they drink. Although it is tempting toblame the iron in infant formula for constipation, iron-fortified formulas generally do not causeconstipation. Changing to a “low-iron” formula can cause low levels of iron in your child’s blood(anemia) so this is usually not recommended.

When should I seek medical care?There are rare times when constipation can be a symptom of a more serious problem. You should call your child’s healthcare provider if:• constipation doesn’t improve despite changes in diet and activity• your child also has a fever, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or weight changes• your child has had bloody diarrhea before becoming constipated

Are there medicines to help?If changing your child’s diet doesn’t work, there are a number of medicines for constipation(laxatives) that may help. Some laxatives are available without a prescription. Talk with yourchild’s healthcare provider to determine what is best for them.

WILLISTON — Oil and gas producer WPX Energy Inc would add one or two drilling rigs in North Dakota if WTI oil prices stabilized around $65 per barrel, Chief Execu-tive Rick Muncrief told Re-uters on Friday.

The forecast falls in line with U.S. shale peers, several of whom have pointed to $65 to $70 per barrel as the range in which they would add rigs and ramp up production.

Indeed, Muncrief’s com-ments add to a body of evi-dence that the United States is now the world’s swing oil producer, able to ramp pro-duction up or down quickly.

For WPX specifically, Muncrief’s outlook is part of a broader strategy to show Wall Street that after years of bloated spending, cash flow and cost management are top priorities. It’s a focus that ap-pears to be working: WPX’s stock is up 15 percent so far this year, compared with a nearly 3 percent rise in the S&P 500.

“If we saw some stability in oil prices around the $65 WTI level, we would probably be more apt to add rigs,” Mun-crief said in an interview on the first anniversary of tak-ing the top job at WPX.

He previously was a senior executive at Continental Re-sources Inc, and helped drill one of the first horizontal wells in North Dakota in 1987.

“Hopefully later in the year, we’ll see what commodity prices do, we’ll start drilling again.”

WPX currently has one drilling rig in North Da-kota, where it is the state’s eleventh-largest oil producer, pumping roughly 38,000 bar-rels per day.

The company also operates in Colorado, where it is the largest natural gas producer, and in New Mexico’s San Juan basin.

Earlier this year, amidst the downturn in oil prices, Muncrief laid off 8 percent of WPX’s workforce, most of whom were community af-fairs and other support staff. He moved most of the com-pany’s technical staff to its Tulsa headquarters.

“We just had extra people that for a smaller indepen-dent (oil producer) we just couldn’t justify,” Muncrief said.

Yet amidst those cuts, WPX is also hiring, planning to add 40 to 50 engineers and geolo-gists.

“All jobs are not equal,” Muncrief said. “What you’re seeing is a natural transition to a more technical, opera-tionally driven organization.”

After the hires, WPX will have 500 employees - the most anywhere - in Tulsa, followed by Colorado, New Mexico and North Dakota.

Excavation so far has not revealed too many surprises, according to the inspector on site, John C. Schuman. Once excavation is finished, new and larger pipes will be laid, and then it will be time for a little rain of the concrete variety before they move on to the next seg-ment of Main.

BISMARCK TRIBUNE

Watford City breaks ground today on an $83 mil-lion event center, marking three years of work and planning backed by a public vote to increase the city’s sales tax after the Stenehjem family donated the land on which to build.

Mayor Brent Sanford said he’s hoping the public will join school kids and commu-nity officials at 10 a.m. at the site east of the community to help celebrate the official start of a facility that he described as “pretty monu-

mental.”The Watford City Event

Center — adjacent to the new high school project in the Fox Hills Subdivision — will house arenas for hockey, turf and hard-floor sports, a 1,000-capacity con-vention center, a 3,000-seat auditorium, plus a lap pool and swim-play facility.

It will connect directly to the new high school for athletic practice, competi-tions and some physical education classes and will be an off-campus venue for the University of Mary.

The facility helps pick up where the school left off in its efforts to accommodate a rapidly expanding enroll-ment, according to Sanford, who said the addition means the community will be able to host destination-style events to bolster the growing hotel and restaurant busi-nesses that do well during the week, but would wel-come a weekend bump.

Sanford said the project involves a lot of synergy, with the city, the Watford City Park Board, the school board and tourism promot-

ers working toward the same goal.

“We could do this or have five or six buildings in town. We’ve all grown out of the spaces we were in,” he said. “There were a lot of challenges and I take my hat off to the Joint Powers Agreement board that came together to build and operate this.”

The city’s growing sales tax revenue stream will pay for the project, backed by a Bank of North Dakota infra-structure-lending program, Sanford said.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York state regulators are expected to decide soon on a permit for a facility at the Port of Albany that critics say would make the port a hub for heavy Canadian tar sands crude oil as well as the millions of gallons of North Dakota Bakken crude it’s now handling.

Global Partners, based in Waltham, Massachusetts, needs the air quality permit to install seven boilers that would warm rail tanker cars to facilitate offloading of dense crude to Hudson River barges destined for coastal refineries.

The Department of Envi-ronmental Conservation ac-cepted the permit application on Nov. 21, 2013. If it doesn’t make a decision within 18 months — Thursday — it risks being sued by Global, said Peter Iwanowicz, execu-tive director of Environmen-tal Advocates of New York and a former DEC executive.

The Environmental Protec-

tion Agency has 45 days to review the air quality permit after DEC issues it.

Environmental groups oppose the rail transport of tar sands crude, saying tar sands development is a ma-jor producer of greenhouse gas emissions and the dense crude is almost impossible to clean up if spilled into a water body.

Global Partners and an-other company, Buckeye Partners, have vastly ex-panded their Port of Albany operations to handle crude oil shipped by train from North Dakota’s Bakken Shale region. As many as 44 trains a week, each loaded with at least a million gallons of Bakken crude, move through upstate New York, according to CSX and Canadian Pacific railroad documents submit-ted to the state last year.

Global has said the tanker heating facilities wouldn’t increase the volume of crude being handled at the termi-nal.

More storms in North Texas after twisters

A lingering storm system in North Texas has

spawned at least two tor-nadoes, damaged buildings and flooded roads following several inches of rain.

The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch Wednesday for the Dallas and Fort Worth ar-eas. Emergency personnel had no immediate reports of injuries from tornado-related damage Tuesday night in Mineral Wells, Runaway Bay and Boon-eville.

The areas are about 50 miles west and north of Fort Worth.

Runaway Bay police say the roof of an apartment complex was torn off. A building in downtown Min-eral Wells also lost its roof.

Efforts under-way to scrub spilled oil from California coast

GOLETA, Calif. (AP) — Cleanup crews are pre-paring to fan out along a stretch of California coastline stained by crude oil that spilled from broken pipe and flowed into the ocean.

Crew members from an en-vironmental cleanup company were briefed early Wednesday and given boots, gloves, shovels and rakes.

An estimated 21,000 gallons of crude flowed Tuesday from an onshore pipeline in southern Santa Barbara County, forming a slick that left gobs of goo along sand and rocks at Refugio State Beach. Members of the Interna-tional Bird Rescue organization are standing by with gear to clean any birds that become covered with oil.charges could run the risk of “compounding a horrible situation.”

“We’re not going to rush to judgment,” he said. “There’s enough damage that’s already been done.”

Air Force launches hush-hush mini-shuttle to space

A mysterious space plane is

on its way to orbit.The Air Force launched its

unmanned mini-shuttle from Cape Canaveral, Florida, late Wednesday morning. An Atlas V (five) rocket carried it up.

This is the fourth flight for the military research program, which is shrouded in secrecy. The last X-37B mission lasted close to 675 days and ended with a California touchdown.

The Air Force won’t say how long this particular mission will last or where it will end.

The X-37B looks like a minia-ture version of a NASA space shuttle.

Like the old shuttle, the X-37B launches vertically and lands horizontally, is reusable, and has lots of room for experi-ments.

But no one flies on them; they are operated robotically.

House panel subpoenas Hillary Clinton confidant

A longtime confidant of Hillary Rodham Clinton has been subpoenaed to testify before a special House panel investigating the deaths of four Americans at the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya, according to an offi-cial familiar with the probe.

This official, speaking to The Associated Press on con-dition of anonymity, said the subpoena was issued by the panel headed by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C. The official declined to be identified publicly because he wasn’t authorized to discuss by name an investigation still in progress.

Man finds amessage in bottle from 1994

It isn’t quite a message in a bottle, but an Ohio man says he found a 21-year-old message secreted in a camera film case that had traveled some 40 miles down the Grand River in west-ern Michigan.

Terry Smith said that he found the case with the mes-sages inside on Monday while hunting for mushrooms in Ionia, Michigan. According to Smith, the case contained three pieces of paper written by two 12-year-old girls in Lansing in 1994.

Two of the documents show drawings of the girls, while the third is a letter to the finder of the film case. Jumper

dies after setting

parachute on fire TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP)

— A 73-year-old BASE jumper who died after leaping from an Idaho bridge had set his parachute on fire as part of a stunt, authorities say.

A graphic video of the fatal jump, posted to YouTube on Monday, shows someone engulfed in flames and fall-ing from the Perrine Bridge into the Snake River, 500 feet below.

James E. Hickey, of Cla-remont, California, had ap-parently planned to ditch the flaming parachute and deploy a second chute in the May 7 stunt.

Critics slam ‘Game of Thrones’ for rape scene

A U.S. senator is among those condemning a rape scene on HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”

In a comment tweeted Tuesday, Sen. Claire Mc-Caskill described the sexual assault as “gratuitous” and “disgusting.” The Democrat-ic lawmaker from Missouri said she was done with the show.

Others critics included the website The Mary Sue, which offers a feminist view of pop culture. The website posted that it would no longer pro-mote “Game of Thrones” and said that rape is not a device to drive a story.

Texas shooting raises security concerns for

Sturgis Rally SIOUX FALLS, S.D.

(AP) — A motorcycle gang shootout in Texas that left nine dead has elevated security concerns for the upcoming Sturgis Mo-torcycle Rally in South Dakota.

The annual rally draws hundreds of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts to western South Dakota’s Black Hills, and organiz-ers are expecting up to 1 million people this year for the 75th anniversary event in early August.

Attorney General Marty Jackley told the Argus Leader newspaper that his office has contacted authorities in Texas about the shootout in Waco on Sunday involving rival motorcycle gangs.

Large stuffed tiger atop SUV generates 911 call

The sight of a stuffed tiger — a very large stuffed tiger — lashed to the top of an SUV cruising around a southwest Washington lake was enough to generate a 911 call from some-one who apparently thought it was real.

Connor Zuvich says he was by Lacamas Lake in Camas on Monday with some friends when a truck came by and dumped some trash and the gi-ant tiger.

Zuvich tied it to the top of his vehicle, then he and his friends started cruising around the lake in the enhanced SUV.

Police consider pressing charges against Mont. boy

Authorities are considering whether to bring criminal charges against a Montana 17-year-old who fired a bullet through his bedroom window and killed a friend, in a case an investigator has described as an accident. The unidentified suspect had been startled when 15-year-old Mackeon Schulte and another friend knocked on his window early Sunday, Billings police said. The alarmed teen grabbed a revolver, described as a fam-ily heirloom, and shot through the glass, striking Schulte in the head, police said.

Police are investigating the shooting as a homicide, and au-thorities are expected to weigh if negligence played a role in Schulte’s death. Billings Police Capt. John Bedford said the suspect was not considered an immediate danger, and crimi-nal charges could run the risk of “compounding a horrible situation.”

My daughter, Valentine, fell in love with mango the second she had her first bite of the creamy orange flesh when she was 2, and she dutifully repeated back the name of this wonder-ful fruit. In fact, she loved mango so much that she started to use the word “mango” as a descriptor to mean “delicious.” For years, after eating anything she particularly loved, she called it “mango,” with her sweet, deliberate toddler pronunciation.

I agree with Valentine. I love all fresh fruit, but the unique taste of mango reminds me of my child-hood when we would travel

to Mexico to visit friends and eat mangos around the clock.

This summer fruit is jammed with vitamin C (one mango has almost a full day’s recommended supply), and also provides a

host of other vitamins. Like other fruits, though, mango gets its great flavor from sugar. Yes, they are natural sugars, and the natural fiber keeps my kids from eating the quantity of mango that they’d probably down if they were drinking, say, just the juice.

Still, we want to be mind-ful of the fact that 1 cup of ripe mango can have 20 to 25 grams of sugar.

While my whole fam-ily most often eats mango simply sliced or sucking straight off the pit, I love the way mango’s sweetness balances out spicy dishes. In this mango gazpacho, I swap mangos for the usual tomatoes, and stretch the sugars by bulking up the soup with refreshing cucum-

ber. For punches of flavor, I add some heat from pepper flakes and red curry powder.

It’s a perfect chilled sum-mer soup. Serve in small Mason jars for a fun picnic, or even in tiny espresso or shot glasses as soup shoot-ers for a crowd.

UND committee trims potential nickname possibilities to 63

GRAND FORKS (AP) — A University of North Dakota committee has nar-rowed the list of potential nicknames for the school to 63.

The group went through about 1,200 nickname ideas that were approved by a consultant after a month-long campaign to solicit suggestions from the public. The committee plans to release a short list of finalists for another public vote.

State residents voted overwhelmingly in 2012 to dump UND’s “Fighting Sioux” nickname, which had been in place since the 1930s. The NCAA considered it hostile and abusive, and it failed to get the endorsement of one of the state’s two namesake tribes.

The next committee meeting has not been scheduled.

Men’s hoops ink 2 recruitsTetons ink Jeremy Ruffin and Jabrie BullardBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — Williston State College men’s basketball coach Cory Fehringer announced Tuesday the signings of two new players for next season’s roster.

Jeremy Ruffin, of Chicago, and Jabrie Bullard, of North Carolina, will take to the court next season for

the Tetons.“Both Jeremy and Jabrie provide

a variety of tools, which can help a team be successful,” Fehringer said. “Our program is excited to gain two players, who are exceptional young men, tremendous teammates and diligent workers.”

Bullard comes to Willis-ton State from Fayetteville, N.C., where he recently completed a year of prep school with Combine Acad-emy.

During his year at the prep school. Bullard averaged 19.8 points per game, and averaged 46 percent from the field.

“He is the type of kid who com-petes every day,” said Combine Academy coach matt Williamson. “A green-light shooter who makes

shots, and defensively works to get stops.

Ruffin comes to Williston State after completing his high school career at Rich South in Richton Park, Ill.

“Ruffin is one of my all-time favorites because he is a kid who will bust his tail for the team,” said Rich

South High School coach Scott Ritter. “He’s coachable, works harder then everybody else, and gives you what he’s got whether a game or practice.”

Ruffin averaged 12 points and 13

rebounds a game at Rich South. It’s the second consecutive season

that Ruffin has averaged a double-double.

“We embrace the attitude in which Jeremy and Jabrie display while competing on the floor,” Fehringer said. “Daily practice habits, as well as the examples they have set to be positives figures off the floor.”

With the signings of Ruffin and Bullard, the recruiting period is underway for the Tetons.

And Fehringer is encouraged at the direction the program is headed.

“We have now created a foundation for the 2015-16 season with the addi-tion of these two student-athletes,” he said.

GIRLS TENNIS

Lady Coyotes are confident heading to stateWilliston to face Fargo Davies in an opening-round matchBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — As the girls tennis state tournament is slated to get started Thurs-day in Minot, one thing is clear - Williston is going to be well represented.

By way of a state-qualify-ing win over Jamestown last

Thursday, the Lady Coyotes have quali-fied for state as a team for the first time in nearly five

seasons.The Lady Coyotes, the

No. 3 seed from the West, will face Fargo Davies, the No. 2 seed from the East in a opening-round match Thursday.

Not only are the Lady Coyotes excited, but they are confident in what they are capable of doing.

“Any team from the East is good that makes it to state,” said junior Keyanna Enget. “But we made it to state for a season, too.”

Williston coach Wade Stueve says his team will likely play the role of a un-derdog in Thursday’s match.

And he says his team will handle that role just fine.

“They are going to be a lot more confident,” he said. “And feel more relaxed.”

Davies has depth that has created problems for even the best team in the state.

Davies nearly snapped Grand Forks Red River’s win streak of more than 100 matches.

“They’ve got a good No. 1,” Stueve said. “And are dead even from two to seven.”

In the individual portion of the state tournament, Enget is seeded second from the West.

“I’m really excited,” she said. “My goal is right up there for a championship.”

In doubles, Bethanie Pip-pin and Kaylen Barstad will be seeded fifth.

“Everyone has to bring their A game,” Barstad said. “It’s just a matter of being consistent.”

The meet will run through Saturday.

CLASS B TRACK AND FIELD

Tigers gearing up for state meetBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — The Trenton-Trinity Christian track and field team may be low on numbers.

But the Tigers are high on talent, and that figures to have Trenton-Trinity Christian in prime position to make noise at this week-end’s state Class B meet in Bismarck.

Leading the way, for

Trenton-Trinity is senior Alycia McGlothlin and sophomore Austin Brown.

The pair of Trinity Christian athletes will be competing in three events at state.

McGlothlin qualified in the high jump and triple jump early in the season.

And that was a relief for the senior.

“It was so much of a relief to have qualified for state so early,” she said.

She added the long jump to her list of state-qualifying events with a first-place finish at last week’s region

meet in Watford City.While she has

been to state in both the triple and long jumps since she was in eighth grade, she has yet to place.

But she has the goal of doing so this year.

“I’m hoping for a top five, but there is a lot of competi-tion.

For Brown, it’s all about the sprints.

The Trinity Christian sophomore will compete in the 100-, 200- and 400-yard dashes this weekend.

The 200 is his favorite event.

Twins use big 2nd inning to down Pirates

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Brian Dozier got Minnesota started with a home run in the first inning and Trevor Plouffe hit a two-run shot in a six-run second as the Twins built an early 7-0 lead then held on for an 8-5 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night.

The highlight for the Pi-rates came in the bottom of the Twins’ big inning.

Pedro Alvarez hit a 461-foot home run that landed in a boat docked along the Allegheny River beyond the right-field stands. Alvarez became just the third player to reach the water on the fly since PNC Park opened in 2001

After Dozier’s solo shot ran his hitting streak to 10 games, Joe Mauer hit a three-single to key the big second inning. Left fielder Starling Marte was late get-ting to the ball that dropped in short left-center field and Dozier raced home all the way from first base and beat a throw that was well off target.

Suzuki, Plouffe, Kurt Suzuki and Aaron Hicks each had two hits for the Twins, who won for the third time in four games.

Ricky Nolasco (4-1) made it through 5 1-3 shaky innings to win his fourth straight start since being on the disabled list with elbow in-flammation. He gave up four runs — three earned — and 10 hits and has yet to pitch into the sixth inning in any of his five starts this season.

Glen Perkins recorded his 14th save in as many oppor-tunities by pitching a perfect ninth inning.

Francisco Liriano (1-4) gave up both home runs and was tagged for seven runs in just two innings while losing his third consecutive start. He spent his first eight seasons with the Twins from 2005-12.

The Pirates lost for the fifth time in six games, though Josh Harrison and rookie Jung Ho Kang each had three hits. Neil Walker and Alvarez each had two of

“The 400 is a little long for me,” he said. “It’s the first time, I am running it, and my endurance isn’t up to where it needs to be.”

This will be Brown’s first trip to state.

“I’m a little ner-vous,” he said. “But I am look-ing at it as another meet.”

Brown also quali-fied for state early in the sea-son. But the sopho-more says that didn’t make things any easier.

“(The workouts) were a little bit harder,” he said. “The coaches know that I am going to state in these events and they want me to be at my best.”

Brown knows what he would like to accomplish at state.

“I definitely want to place in the 100 and 200,” he said.

In addition to McGlothlin and Brown, the Tigers will be represented at state by the following individuals:

Beau Skurdal (triple jump), Kade Gohl (high jump), Austin Smith (100-me-ter run and high jump) Jonathan Bressler (1,600-me-ter run), 4x200-meter relay (Gohl, Smith, Brown and Skurdal), and Kaity Hove (high jump).

NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION

T-wolves win draft lottery, Lakers move to No. 2NEW YORK (AP) — The Minne-

sota Timberwolves too often came to the NBA draft lottery and left in worse shape than they arrived.

And when they finally ended years of lottery futility, it came from the spot where nobody had been win-ning.

The Timberwolves won the lottery Tuesday night, the first time since 2004 the team with the worst record earned the No. 1 pick.

After years of bad luck, things finally worked out for the Wolves, who can perhaps choose between big men Karl-Anthony Towns of Kentucky and Jahlil Okafor of national champion Duke to put next to Rookie of the Year Andrew Wiggins.

“We’re in this for big stakes,” said Flip Saunders, the Wolves’ president and coach. “The big thing about this is getting good talent that can blend together. This is another big step.”

The Los Angeles Lakers moved from the fourth spot to second, keep-ing a pick they would have sent to

Philadelphia if it fell outside the top five. The 76ers are third followed by the New York Knicks, who had the second-best odds of winning but instead fell to fourth 30 years after winning the first lottery and drafting Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing.

Not since Orlando won the right to pick Dwight Howard in 2004 had the NBA’s ulti-mate game of chance came out in favor of the team with the best odds. The Timber-wolves had a 25 percent chance of landing the top pick in the draft to be held in New York on June 25, after finishing 16-66.

But their fans knew not to get their hopes up after the Wolves had fallen backward eight times previously, including both times they were in the pole position. A chance at Shaquille O’Neal turned into Christian Laettner in 1992, and they fell one spot in 2011 to miss out on Kyrie Irving.

“Today was very nerve wracking. I really didn’t anticipate that it would go this way,” owner Glen Taylor said. “People say you have a 25 percent to win but I always look at it that

there’s a 75 percent chance that someone else is going to win. I just feel very honored that we have the chance to be in this position.”

Several hundred fans gathered to watch on the big screen at Target Center in Minneapolis and erupted when the Lakers card came out of the envelope for No. 2, meaning Minnesota had finally earned the top pick for the first time.

The Lakers were the other big winners even without

moving all the way to the top. Their pick was only protected in the top five as a condition of their trade with Phoenix for Steve Nash in 2012. That was dealt this season to the 76ers, who could have ended up with two top-six picks if the Lakers had

fallen backward two spots.“I told our guys earlier today

that I had a real good feeling about tonight,” Lakers coach Byron Scott said. “I hope not to be back here anytime soon, but I’m happy the way things turned out tonight.”

So was superstar Kobe Bryant, who ended his tweet after seeing the results with # lakerluck and # goodday.

The lottery sets the top three picks. The remainder of the 14 non-playoff teams follow in inverse order of their won-loss record.

Things went according to form un-til the Knicks slid. General manager Steve Mills hoped history could re-peat by wearing Dave DeBusschere’s Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame ring, which DeBusschere was wearing as the Knicks’ GM when they won the 1985 lottery.

“Obviously, we would have liked to receive a higher pick but we went into this knowing that anywhere between one and five we were going to get a good pick,” Mills said.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

NFL to change extra-point kicks to longer distanceSAN FRANCISCO (AP)

— The NFL is moving back extra-point kicks and al-lowing defenses to score on conversion turnovers.

The owners on Tuesday approved the competition committee’s proposal to snap the ball from the 15-yard line on PATs to make them more challenging. In recent seasons, kickers made more than 99 percent of the kicks with the ball snapped from the 2.

“There was strong senti-ment coming out of our meetings in March that something had to be done with our extra point,” said Texans general manager Rick Smith, a member of the competition committee that proposed this specific rule change. “From a kicking perspective the try was over 99 percent (successful), so we tried to add skill to the play.

“It was also a ceremonial play.”

The accepted proposal places the 2-point conver-sion at the 2, and allows the defense to return a turnover to the other end zone for the two points, similar to the college rule.

The defense can also score two points by returning a botched kick.

The change was approved only for 2015, then will be reviewed. But Smith predicts it will become permanent.

“This isn’t an experiment,” Smith added. “This is a rule change. We expect this to be a part of the game.”

The vote was 30-2. Wash-

ington and Oakland voted no.

New England and Philadel-phia also made suggestions on changing the extra point, but the owners went with the powerful committee’s recommendation.

Officiating chief Dean Blandino said the percentage of kicks made from the 33- or 34-yard line has been around 93 percent. And Troy Vincent, in charge of NFL football opera-tions, noted that placekickers can handle such an alteration.

“The kicker’s a skill position now,” Vincent said. “We’re not trying to take the foot out of the game.”

The short-lived XFXL, a

developmental league, used the 15-yard line as the line of scrimmage on extra point placements.

A major part of the change is the hope more teams will go for two points. In contrast to the traditional extra point kick from short distance, that is an exciting and usu-ally a critical play.

Some teams could look into 2-point specialists; there’s conjecture that Eagles coach Chip Kelly brought in Tim Tebow to potentially fill such a role.

PATRIOTS NOT TO APPEAL PUNISHMENT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Now that Patriots owner Robert Kraft is not appeal-ing his team’s punishments in the deflated footballs scan-dal, only his quarterback’s challenge remains.

Moments after Kraft said

Tuesday he won’t oppose the $1 million fine and loss of two draft choices the NFL penalized the team for its role in using underinflated footballs in the AFC cham-pionship game, the play-ers’ union reasserted that Tom Brady’s appeal will go forward.

Brady, the MVP of Febru-ary’s Super Bowl and one of the league’s biggest stars, has been suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season by the NFL.

So while Kraft sought to end the “dialogue and rhetoric,” it’s certain “De-flategate” won’t disappear anytime soon.

At the owners meetings, Kraft said he was putting the league before his franchise because “at no time should the agenda of one team outweigh the collective good of the 32.”

FROM YOUR FIRST STEPS...to stepping out

on your own

Karena Carlson, communications manager of Fargo, has been named North Dakota Professional Communicators’ 2015 communicator of achievement.

NPDC is an organization of men and women employed in all aspects of communication that works to advance the com-munication profession. Communicator of achievement is the highest honor NDPC bestows; it recognizes members for their accomplishments in and outside of the communication profession.

She began her career as a reporter at KMOT-TV (NBC) in Minot, N.D. Carlson quickly became the 6 and 10 p.m. anchor and executive producer at the station. She then spent six years at WDAY-TV (ABC) Fargo, N.D., as the 5 p.m. weekday co-anchor and reporter.

In 2008, she became the city of Fargo communications manager. In this position, she guides media relations and is the lead public information officer during large-scale inci-dents, such as floods.

Carlson has been an NDPC member since 2008 and serves in a number of positions, including NDPC college contest judge and member of the Marion J. Piper Scholarship selec-tion committee. She served as southeast district director and Fargo-Moorhead Professional Communicators (FMPC) presi-dent from 2008 to 2013. She is also a member of the National Federation of Press Women, of which NDPC is an affiliate, and an NFPW communications contest judge.

She will be NDPC’s nominee for the communicator of achievement award at the National Federation of Press in Anchorage, Alaska this september.

Mercy Auxiliary and Gift shop Donate $40,000 to Mercy Medical Foundation

A collaboration between Mercy Medical Auxiliary and Gift shop has resulted in a donation consisting of $40,000 to Mercy Medical Foundation. The donation will benefit Mercy’s laundry department as the facility upgrades one of the three large washing machines. The washing machines can hold between 70-90 pounds of laundry; due to the size, a single washer costs $80,000 per machine.

Mercy Medical Foundation expresses their appreciation of the continued help and dedication from the Mercy Auxiliary and their efforts to enhance the quality of healthcare the hospital and clinic are able to provide.

The women of the auxiliary are dedicated community members who devote many hours to the organization.

Through efforts such as, bake sales, jewelry sales, and oth-er events, Mercy Medical Auxiliary has been able to provide the hospital with tv’s, blanket warmers, AccuVein systems, and zoom carts. The auxiliary has also donated $25,000 to the Capital Campaign.

Total donations since 2010 have been over $60,000.

bers and member of the community raised funds that were much needed for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life at a test-drive event, which is apart of the Ford Motor Company’s Drive 4 UR Community Program.

This is the first time Select Ford ever held a fundraiser; more than 50 community members test-drove a Ford vehicle. With every test-drive Ford Motor Company donated $20, end-ing with a total of $1,000.

Drive 4 UR Community is very similar to Ford’s Drive 4 UR School initiative, which raised over $25 million for local schools in 2007.

Ford Motor Company and its dealers started the new pro-gram as a way to raise funding for local community groups and nonprofit organizations.

BY MARK PRATTASSOCIATED PRESS

MILLVILLE, Mass. — This is the story of a loving tribute from a soldier preparing for war to his mother on the other side of the continent, who didn’t know if she would ever see her boy again.

The elaborate pillow sham he sent her, lost for more than 70 years, has finally come home, just in time for Mother’s Day.

The sham, emblazoned with the word “Mother” and sent in 1942 by Dominic O’Gara from his Army base in California to his mother in the small Massachusetts town of Millville, was discovered last month by a town native on eBay.

The hope now is to put the sham on display in the town’s senior center, just yards from the house where the O’Gara family once lived.

“To me, it’s come back to where it be-longs,” said Margaret Carroll, chairwoman of the town Historical Commission. “It’s as close to Mrs. O’Gara as it can get.”

Donald Lamoureux, who lives in Cum-berland, Rhode Island, but who grew up in Millville, spotted an envelope for sale on

eBay, and even though he had no idea what was inside, he knew he had to have it when he saw the date and the Millville address. He paid $5 for it.

He was stunned when he looked inside.“There was this pillow sham that had been

sealed away for 73 years, and it looked brand new,” he said.

Although it had deep creases from being folded for decades, it wasn’t frayed, stained or faded.

The white pillow cover has a blue fringe, and in addition to the word “Mother” in blue, is decorated with red roses with green stems, and the words “Camp McQuaide, Calif.,” where O’Gara was stationed.

It also has this famous poem, written by lyricist Howard Johnson:

M is for the million things she gave meO means only that she’s growing oldT is for the tears she shed to save meH is for her heart of purest goldE is for her eyes with love light shiningR means right and right she’ll always be

Put them all together they spell motherA word that means the world to me

“It was very touching,” Lamoureux said.Millville, about 40 miles southwest of Bos-

ton, had a population of about 1,800 in the 1940s. Even these days, it holds only about 3,200 people.

“My grandfather (Rodrique “Pete” Lamou-reux) was a World War II veteran, and Mill-ville is such a small town, I just knew they

had to have known each other,” he said. “I felt this instant connection.”

Where the pillow sham has been the past 70-plus years is a mystery. The 6-cent airmail stamp on the envelope was canceled, indicat-ing it had been delivered. But the cover ap-peared pristine. O’Gara’s mother, Catherine, died in 1956.

Lamoureux bought it from a Rhode Island man who runs a collectibles shop and found the envelope in a box of junk acquired from an anonymous seller.

Of course, Lamoureux wanted to return the pillow cover to O’Gara’s family, but he couldn’t find any living relatives.

He found that O’Gara, the son of Irish im-migrants, was an artilleryman who served in Italy in World War II, then lived for years in the nearby town of Milford before dying in 1998. His wife died in 1974.

Lamoureux turned to his own parents, Donald and Diane Lamoureux, and their friends in Millville, including Carroll and Council on Aging member Ellen Ethier Bowen, who both remembered the O’Gara family. But even Carroll, who has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of town history, came up empty.

BY STACY PARKERTHE VIRGINIAN-PILOT

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Veterans come in all shapes and sizes.

Some are young, just home from war and looking to the future. Some are much older, and their number is declining: the veterans of World War II, who share stories of flying over enemy territory and liberating the op-pressed.

And then there are veterans of a different sort, who never saw a battlefield but worked hard for the effort at home.

Mary Perez, 95, is one of those - she was a riveter for one of the largest aircraft manufacturers in the United States during World War II. Her memories of those years resurfaced recently when she heard about the death of the model for artist Norman Rockwell’s “Rosie the Riveter.” The illustra-tion, depicting a brawny woman in overalls eating a sandwich with her rivet gun in her lap, ran in the Saturday Evening Post on Me-morial Day 1943. “Rosie” became the symbol of strong American women taking men’s places to work in factories and shipyards during the war. Perez lived it.

She was 21 when she began working in a

Curtiss-Wright Corp. factory in Buffalo, N.Y., in spring 1942, riveting together metal sheets for the fuselages of single-engine planes.

Buffalo is less than 10 miles north of her childhood home in Lackawanna, N.Y. Most of the women she grew up with worked in one of the region’s many Curtiss-Wright factories, which employed more than 40,000 people in 1943.

Perez bought a $15 toolbox and took the bus to work, a 10-cent ride each way. She earned $35 a week.

“I gave it all to my mother,” Perez said. “She gave me enough to get a bus ticket.”

It was not easy work. The riveters worked with a partner, the bucker, who helped to secure the rivet. One day, a piece of metal the bucker was working on hit Perez’s eye, sending her to the infirmary. Soon, she was back on the factory floor.

Another danger for women in the factory: their hair. After one woman’s long hair was caught in a machine, all of them were required to wear hats, Perez said.

She liked the precision required when shooting the rivet gun.

“You had to know how to hold the gun and how much air pressure you’re supposed to

shoot,” she said. “If you missed just a tiny bit of a hole, we had to do it again.”

Perez quickly earned the nickname “Lefty,” for using her left hand to shoot.

She met her future husband on the job. The men working in the factory either were too old to fight or had some ailment that pre-vented them from being eligible, she said.

Anthony Perez, a stock boy, was deaf in one ear. She remembers first seeing him

at the opposite end of a long balcony. She needed a metal sheet to rivet, and she was looking for it from him.

“I guess this fellow got my goo-goo eyes,” she said. “We were going around about six months, and he wanted to get married, and I said, ‘All right.’ “

She worked at the factory for three years. The Perezes had a baby girl. The war was ending, and Perez didn’t return to work after her maternity leave.

She lived in New York until four years ago, when her husband died. Perez still wears her wedding band. “My Daddy-o,” she said, raising her chin and pursing her lips on the last syllable.

She lives with her daughter, Patricia Gebhardt, in the Pembroke Manor section of Virginia Beach. They walk and shop together.

“She’s not somebody who sits around all the time,” Gebhardt said.

Perez said her secret to longevity is eating dandelion leaves, before the flower opens and they turn bitter. She wishes she could crochet again. One of her afghans earned a first-place ribbon at a fair in Erie County, N.Y.
