WILLISTON — “Find out what your passion is and let that be your voca-tion,” says Culver’s CEO, co-founder and co-worker Craig Culver as he kickstarted Wednesday’s LevelUp Business Conference presented by the Williston Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber partnered with DAWA Solutions Group to create an interactive business conference aimed at professional development. Several sessions were put together to aid in human resources, succession planning, training, marketing, per-

sonal health, and networking growth.This marks Craig Culver’s second

visit to Williston. Last time he made the trip was for the groundbreaking of the new Culver’s restaurant here last November.

“I’ve never seen a boom town before; I was taken aback,” he says. “The new Culver’s is very busy but we knew it would be.”

This year marks Culver’s 31st year in operation, though conversation kept coming back to the people. He explained what the Culver’s brand means and the investment they make into their employees. There is a

rigorous screening process on those looking to franchise to see if they are the right fit for the company and visa versa, he said.

As Culver took the stage, he began by talking of his humble beginnings. His father was an entrepreneur and his family operated an A&W in Saukville, Wisc. before selling that and buying a small resort farm kitchen. “My dad knew I had a pas-sion for this,” Culver said. “I didn’t know I had a passion for this. I didn’t know what my dream was yet.”

WILLISTON — Recently appointed District #8 Super-intendent Rob Turner has had a lot on his plate as of late.

Looking to meet the needs of a quickly growing com-munity, the school systems have outgrown their cur-rent situation. Looking to remedy that, District #8 is proposing a new K-12 school that will help alleviate some of the pressure from District #1.

Public meetings have been held for the proposal of a new K-12 School for District #8. Located just outside of city limits, this site is a 40-acre campus that would provide amenities not met by the current District #8 schools. The proposed building would include a soccer field, football field, softball field, ten-nis court, and indoor

gym. The proposal goes up for

vote at the District #8 office on Tuesday, June 9 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. If it passes, Turner says groundbreak-ing could come as early as this summer. He mentions that this has been extremely well received. Going from 100 students to a current 361 students, a new school is needed to catch up with the growth.

District #8 currently only goes up to grade 8 and has to send 200 of their high school students to District #1. This would help students that live on the outskirts of town from having to travel so far to attend school.

That is also a reason why some parents have chosen to annex into District #1. With

WILLISTON — The global conven-tion for the shopping center indus-try was this week in Las Vegas. Among the 35,000-plus in attendance at the International Council of Shopping Centers RECon were Williston Crossing and Northstar Center developers. Both parties are hoping the slogan, what happens in

Vegas stays in Vegas, doesn’t apply to them this trip.

Williston Crossing and Northstar between them have some 3.5 million square feet of commercial property to fill. Both hope to find what they are looking for at a conference those in the retail industry describe as the show of shows.

Northstar’s planned unit develop-ment has 535 acres of commercial and residential property, and seeks

to fill nearly 2 million square feet of general commercial and 566,000 square feet of heavy commercial space. Ground was broken on the development in Sept. 2014.

Williston Crossing, meanwhile, is 219 acres with 1 million square

feet of retail space. Stropiq, the Williston Crossing’s

development firm, has done an internal study estimating the Wil-liston region can support up to 5

WILLISTON — A com-pany wanting to build a pipeline that would start in the Bakken and end in Illinois has filed an application with North Dakota’s Public Service Commission. A hearing for the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline has been set at three locations, including Williston at 9 a.m. June 26 at the Ernie French Center, 14120 Highway 2. The other hearings are in Mandan

and Killdeer.The hearings allow

the public an opportu-nity to comment on the proposal and make their concerns known to the commission.

In North Dakota, the 1,150-mile line would run about 358 miles travers-ing seven counties with 12, 20, 24 and 30-inch diameter pipelines. It would include six tank farm locations along the way, including its start-ing point in Stanley and others south of Tioga, near Epping, near Tren-ton, near Watford City and at Johnson’s Corner. One electric pump sta-tion is also planned.

The capital investment for North Dakota is $1.4

billion and the estimated property taxes are $13.7 million. There will be between 2,000 to 4,000 construction jobs here and 12 to 15 permanent jobs once the project is complete, the company said.

The pipeline is expect-ed to carry about 450,000 barrels of crude oil daily, but has a capacity up to 570,000 barrels per day or more, depending on demand. That figure represents about half the Bakken’s current daily crude oil produc-tion.

Crude oil produc-tion in the Bakken has increased dramatically

Proposed pipeline would run from ND to Illinois

within eight years will sup-port 7 million as the area continues to grow and posi-tion itself as a hub.

Unlike Northstar Center, Williston Crossing hasn’t broken ground yet, and its principals, Terry Olin and Ellen Weyrauch, say they will only do so if they are able to secure tenants.

Olin has said Williston Crossing was shopped as a concept at last year’s ICSC conference and the positive feedback he received then is what convinced he and his partner to move forward with the development.

“I was pleasantly sur-prised we did not need to justify Williston,” Olin said in February. “They knew the market. They had simply not seen the right entry. We be-

lieve we are in the process of providing them with exactly that.”

This year, he’s return-ing to the conference with a Williams County zoning permit in hand, ready to see if any retailers are willing to make concrete plans with them. Weyrauch said meet-ings Stropiq has had so far at the Vegas conference look promising.

Likewise, Northstar’s sales and marketing director, Joe Kachuroi, said they are do-ing well at the event, shaking many hands, sharing contact information, and generating interest in Northstar Center.

“We are actively pursuing sales for our first phase,” he said. “It’s a very eager crowd. I’m going to say it’s very uplifted, comparatively speaking to the last few

years. There’s been a syn-ergistic lift in the economy across the country. There’s a tremendous amount of activ-ity and new deals across the country, which we haven’t seen in years prior.”

The ICSC brings in all the big fish of the retail world. Olin has said previously he believes the world-class conference is the best shot for attracting retailers to Williston Crossing. Kachu-roi’s assessment of the show was high as well.

“This is the show of shows,” he said. “There are 35,000 in attendance and this is, in my opinion, you have some of the smartest, most sophisticated commercial brokers, retailers and devel-opers at this event.”

WILLISTON — Awards are given to individuals who stand out, they go above and beyond and journey from good to great.

On Wednesday, the Teach-er of the Year award was presented to a teacher and paraprofessional from four local schools to spotlight their achievements.

Aaron Finders of Wil-liston Middle School, Eric Rooke of Williston High School took home teacher of the year honors, and the

paraprofessional of the year award was presented to Rebecca Michelson of Rikard Elementary. Honor-able mention went to Jen-nifer Matheus of Williston Middle School, and Emily Vigness of Williston High School.

“We received over 500 nominations from parents throughout the school district. This just proves we have a lot of hard working and great teachers” said superintendent Dr. Viola La Fontaine.

Earlier this year, the Parental Advisory Council, along with the Williston Public Schools, created the Teacher of the Year award, as well as paraprofessional of the year. They asked for a 500 word or less description

of their nominee and why they deserve recognition.

“It is a very nice award; I am not teaching for the award,” Finders said. “I teach for the kids because they deserve the best.”

For those who won either paraprofessional or teacher of the year award, a cer-tificate was given as well as either a flower bouquet for the women, and a candy bouquet for the men.

“It is such a great honor; it was totally unexpected,” Chapman said. “It is very touching and great to know you have great parents that are supportive.”

Rebecca Michelson was the only paraprofessional to win a teacher of the year award.

“I am just so shocked; I

enjoy the kids and we have fun,” Michaelson said. “I love teaching hands-on basics of social skills and communication for my kin-dergartners.”

The purpose of the award was to spotlight the type of work and information the students are being taught. There are many differences between elementary and high school when it comes to teaching, and the award is a way to show diverse teaching styles and how they can be effective.

Frost restrictions incounty being lifted

Spring frost restrictions for roads south of US 2 and Coun-ty Road 8. These are the only roads where the restrictions are being lifted. for overweight travel on Williams County and township roadways, a single trip permit is required. An Xcess permit is still needed if the gross weight is 150,000 pounds or greater. For rig moves, permits are available through ndenergy.org.

If your weight is above the legal limit, authorization numbers are still required. Call Williams County High-way office 701-577-4521 for details.

Load restriction changesAs of Thursday, load restric-

tions will be in place on High-ways 40 and 42 from Highway 5 nort to the Canadian border, on Highway 50 from the junc-tion of Highway 42 west to the Montana border and Highway 1806 from the junction of Highway 23 north to 2 miles east of Charlson.

Motorists should check the load restriction map daily, as restrictions can change quick-ly due to the weather. Seasonal load restriction information is available by calling 511 or by going to www.dot.nd.gov/roadreprot/loadlimit/loadlim-itinfo.asp.

Exotics not allowed in N. Dakota waterways

With the weather warm-ing, the State Game and Fish Department is reminding outdoor water recreationists to do their part to prevent the spread of exotics in state waters.

Aquatic nuisance spe-cies very often do not have predators and can destroy or negatively affect the habitat for native species.

According to state law, water must be drained from water-craft prior to leaving a water body. That includes live wells.

Bait buckets or any contain-er of five gallons or less in vol-ume may be used to transport legal live baitfish or other bait in water. No other fish species should be held in water or transported in bait buckets when away from water.

Legal live aquatic organisms for use by anglers include fat-head minnows, salamanders and frogs, crayfish and leeches and insects. They should be purchased and/or trapped in North Dakota for use in North Dakota waterways.

Transportation of fish in or on ice is not allowed.

All aquatic vegetation should be removed from watercraft, motors, trailers and recreational vehicles once out of the water, as well as any built-in structures such as livewells or bait compart-ments.

Local briefs

the lack of extracurricu-lars and electives offered, parents have been looking to District #1 to fill that void. District #8 is quite spread out and some parents aren’t fond of their children being on a bus for as much as an hour a day.

District #1 currently has closed enrollment due to overcrowding. Despite that, many parents are still try-ing to annex their kids into District #1.

Some parents going through annexation have experienced what a long pro-cess it is. Proponents of the neighborhoods looking to be annexed need signatures of two-thirds of the residents

of that neighborhood. Not only does the neighborhood have to be continuous with District #1 land, but it also needs to go in front of a board for vote. The process can take as long as eight months.

There have been whispers that Trenton High School might be joined into the district but Turner assures that it has only been talk. Nothing has been proposed or gone before a board.

“I feel strongly about what our district offers,” Turner said. “I want to serve those students.” With the addition of a new school, it is hoped that both districts will find an equilibrium in enroll-ment.

After finishing college with a degree in biology, Culver worked at a Mc-Donald’s before something began to change.

“I didn’t think I had my father’s entrepreneurial spirit but it started to burn in me,” he said.

He went back to the old A&W his family once owned and bought it back to life. He and his family began physically reworking the building into what would soon be known as Culver’s. It’s doors opened in 1984, the same year the Dairy Queen Blizzard was invented — ironically, right across the street.

“We lost a lot of money that first year,” he laughed “That’s the thing with en-trepreneurs, entrepreneurs don’t think they can fail.”

He said he owed a lot to his family for urging him

not to give up. Culver’s is now 544 res-

taurants in 22 states. “My fa-ther told me ‘Its not impor-tant how many restaurants you have; it’s important how many good restaurants you have.’”

Culver spoke of his fail-ures, his successes and what the Culver’s name really means.

“We will never cheapen our products to get to a bot-tom line easier,” he said.

After the conclusion of the day, Chamber President, Scott Meske, was already playing with ideas for next year’s LevelUp Business Conference.

To outdo the founder of one of America’s hottest fast-casual chains will be one tall order.

PIPELINE: Would reduce the amount of crude taken by rail

FROM PAGE A1

since 2010, going from 309,000 barrels a day to more than 1 million barrels a day in 2014. Oil prices and rig counts have been down, but produc-tion has slightly increased, according to the latest figures from the Department of Mineral Resources. For March, the latest monthly report, there was an increase of 12,500 barrels a day from February’s average, for a total of 1.19 million barrels of oil a day.

Much of the Bakken’s crude is being taken to market by rail and truck, which has put pressure on area roads as well as on ag-riculture products, many of which go to market by rail.

Proponents of the pipeline say projects like this will help open up the rail system and roads for other products, as well as provide a safer means of transporting crude to market.

Depending on regula-tory approvals from North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois, the pipeline is projected to be in service sometime in 2016, accord-ing to an online fact sheet provided by Dakota Access LLC. A representative was called to ask if that is still the intended timetable, but had not returned the call by press time.

The pipeline would allow access to multiple markets, including midwest and east coast markets, and the Gulf Coast via the Nederland, Texas crude oil terminal facility of Sunoco Logistics Partners.

In all, the pipeline is a $3.78 billion project and is expected to create between

8,000 and 12,000 jobs during construction and 40 perma-nent jobs afterward. It will generate an estimated $55 million in tax revenues to states along its route, annu-ally.

The plan is to manufacture a majority of the pipeline in the United States, and to assemble and package all the pump stations here. The company estimates it will contribute $1 billion in direct spending to the U.S. economy. It will pay $189 million in direct payments to landowners for easements and $605 million in labor payments to various contrac-tors on the project.

In addition to the seven counties in North Dakota, the pipeline would traverse 12 counties in South Dakota, 18 in Iowa and 12 in Illinois. The company intends to parallel existing pipelines, power lines and roads wher-ever possible and will cover its line with a minimum 36 inches of soil — more if it crosses under roads, rivers, lakes or streams.

In agricultural fields, pipeline is to be buried a minimum of 48 inches. Topsoil will be segregated during construction to a minimum of 12 inches, or in accordance with landowner requirements.

In addition, a specific agriculture-crossing plan is being developed, which will be have to be approved by the applicable state agencies and presented to each landowner for comment. Each field will be crossed in accordance with a specific crossing plan with each landowner.

WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) — Authorities believe a fire that destroyed several park-ing garages in Wahpeton was started by a lawnmower inside of them.

Embers from the Wednes-day afternoon blaze jumped to adjacent apartment buildings, but firefighters quickly put them out. The fire did melt vinyl siding on one building, and two other buildings had roof damage.

At least one vehicle parked behind the garages was burned, along with numerous lawnmowers and other property. A pickup parked nearby was damaged by the heat.

KFGO radio reports (http://bit.ly/1BdDfJj ) that the fire destroyed 10 stalls and damaged three other

stalls in the 48-unit garage complex.

Local/Region THURSDAY, MAY 21, 2015 WILLISTON HERALD A3

If there was one thing most economists agreed on at the start of the year, it was this: Plunging oil prices would boost the

U.S. economy.It hasn’t worked out that way.The economy is thought to have shrunk in

the January-March quarter and may barely grow for the first half of 2015 — thanks in part to sharp cuts in energy drilling. And de-spite their savings at the gas pump, consum-ers have slowed rather than increased their spending.

At $2.71 a gallon, the average price of gas nationwide is nearly $1 lower than it was a year ago. In January, the average briefly reached $2.03, the lowest in five years.

Cheaper oil and gas had been expected to turbocharge spending and drive growth, more than making up for any economic dam-age caused by cutbacks in the U.S. oil patch.

Consider what Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said in December: Lower gas prices, Yellen declared, are “certainly good for families. ... It’s like a tax cut that boosts their spending power.”

Other experts were more direct: “Lower oil prices are an unambiguous plus for the U.S. economy,” Chris Lafakis, an economist at Moody’s Analytics, wrote in January.

So what did they get wrong?It turns out that the economic effects of

lower energy prices have evolved since the Great Recession. Corporate spending on drill rigs, steel piping for wells and railcars to transport oil has become an increasingly vital driver of economic growth. So when oil prices fall and energy companies retrench, the economy suffers.

The drilling boom that erupted in 2008 has boosted U.S. oil production nearly 75 percent and natural gas 30 percent and made the United States the world’s largest combined producer of oil and natural gas. Energy production contributes about 2 percent to economic output, up from less than 1 percent in 2000.

Yet in recent months, industry activity has dropped more sharply than predicted.

“So far, it is fair to say that we have been hurt more than helped,” Lafakis acknowl-edges now.

During their policy meeting last month, Fed officials grappled with the changing impact of cheaper oil, according to minutes of the meeting released Wednesday. Several policymakers said the economic drag from drilling cutbacks could be “larger and longer-lasting than previously anticipated.”

They also worried that the weakness in consumer spending, despite cheaper gas, suggested that Americans might generally be more reluctant to spend than assumed.

Some economists are reconsidering as-sumptions they use to forecast the economy.

“The benefit of lower oil prices is less pronounced than, say, 10 years ago,” says Jim Burkhard, a researcher at IHS Energy. “You’re taking a big engine of economic activity and cutting it sharply.”

Lafakis and many others still expect con-sumers to spend much of their savings from cheaper gas, powering faster growth in the second half of the year. Economists say it can take up to six months for people to spend unexpected windfalls. But any gains won’t likely be enough to counter the anemic start to the year.

Moody’s Analytics expects the economy to expand just 2.6 percent this year, down from an earlier forecast of 3.3 percent. (The down-grade is also due in part to a stronger U.S. dollar, which has depressed exports.)

For families, the drop in gas prices was an unexpected gift. The government has esti-mated that cheaper gas will save a typical household $675 this year.

Yet still scarred by the recession, many re-main reluctant to spend freely. Analysts also note that Americans are less likely to spend

extra money if they think the gain is temporary.

“Consumers have been very reluctant to spend (savings from cheaper gas), because they view that as fleeting,” says Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate.com.

Consumer spending rose at an annual rate of just 1.9 percent in the first quarter, compared with the previous quarter’s 4.4 percent. Much of the cash saved at the gas pump was put away: The U.S. savings rate reached its high-est point in more than two years. Wal-Mart and Target have confirmed that their

sales aren’t getting much lift from cheaper gas.

For Vince Cimilluca, a 28-year-old video editor in Edison, New Jersey, lower gas prices haven’t changed his finances much. He’s struggling to pay $800 a month in student debt while saving for a home. He’s seen gas prices gyrate and doesn’t trust they’ll stay low.

“The extra money that I have, I save,” Cimilluca says.

For the economy, the technological break-throughs that allowed the energy industry to power growth now help explain the slow-down. As the 2008-09 recession ended, compa-nies used hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to unlock underground reserves. Oil, at $100 a barrel or more, made such efforts profitable.

Jim Burkhard of IHS Energy estimates that U.S. and Canadian energy companies increased investment in production from $98 billion in 2005 to $363 billion last year. U.S. oil and gas jobs nearly doubled to 537,000. In addition, jobs were added at steel mills, at sand pits to process sand for fracking and at restaurants and service companies in areas with new-found oil and gas fields, like North Dakota and Pennsylvania.

But the industry’s breakneck growth was thrown into reverse by a 50 percent drop in oil prices from June through Janu-ary. CEO Doug Suttles of Encana Corp., a Canadian-based driller that operates in the United States, says the pullback in drilling “happened more rapidly than I’ve seen in 32 years.”

As recently as December, Suttles says, experts had forecast that the number of rigs would drop by a third in the spring from a year earlier. Instead, it’s plunged by more than half, according to Baker Hughes, an oilfield services firm.

That’s led companies like U.S. Steel to tem-porarily close factories that make the steel pipe used in oil wells. Texas-based Superior Silica Sands, which makes fracking sand, has canceled the building of a factory and has slashed capital spending plans.

Investment in wells and production facili-ties collapsed nearly 50 percent last quarter, the government says, and cut the quarter’s annual economic growth by three-quarters of a percentage point. Goldman Sachs estimates that three jobs will be lost in other industries for every position shed by energy companies as laid-off workers spend less.

That trend is painfully evident in Texas, which lost 25,400 jobs in March, the most since 2009. Many were in mining, which includes oil and gas. But most of the losses were indirect: As laid-off workers cut spend-ing, retailers cut 6,600 jobs.

Cheaper gas has hardly been a comfort to Orlando Garza, 34, who lives near Corpus Christi, Texas, and was laid off from his job in February as a well site leader.

“I’ve had to cut back tremendously,” Garza says. “I tell my kids, ‘I don’t have a job, so I can’t buy it.’”

Guest column

Williston’s golden opportunity to change

the conversationIf you’ve got five minutes to waste today, waste them by

checking out the trailer for the new ABC series “Oil” starring Don Johnson, which debuts this fall.

Physically, the show is set right here in the Bakken, but metaphysically it takes place somewhere on a dusty road between J.R. Ewing’s Dallas and Purgatory.

You can already hear the groans from proud Willistonians at seeing their city once again sensationalized as a place of rugged lawlessness, a modern day wild west fantasy for the rest of America to believe every slanderous word of.

If you’re a civic-minded Willistonian, it’s enough to drive you crazy, having to sit by and watch as big media, yet again, lampoons our fair city as theater of the absurd.

But rather than get mad about it, you could take the ad-vice of “Mad Men” protagonist Don Draper and his mantra, “If you don’t like what’s being said, change the conversa-tion.”

It’s been done before in the real world.When the irreverent play, “The Book of Mormon,” was

getting set to open on Broadway, it obviously wasn’t going to paint the Mormon faith in a very favorable light.

So what did the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints do about it?

Groan and complain and throw up their hands about how they’re being unfairly represented in media, yet again?

No. They changed the conversation. They bought an ad in the playbill.Brilliant.Williston has a remarkable, and as yet, mostly untold

story. It’s best exemplified in the billboard sign at the corner of 2nd Ave. and 26th Street, which reads, “It’s getting better together,” illustrated by silhouetted Lilliputians cooperat-ing to construct the sign’s very letters.

This is a much better piece of marketing than what’s on the billboard’s flipside the obnoxious, “BOOMTOWN, USA!”

“It’s getting better together” is one motherlode of a slogan that all of America ought to hear all about… maybe in im-ages of the Williston Area Recreation Center, a municipal fitness palace you wouldn’t expect to find this side of Dubai. Maybe that pans into more images of cosmopolitan apart-ment complexes on the east side, and to the west, the just-add-water, family-friendly suburbs popping up at a rate you wouldn’t expect to find this side of Beijing.

Quite a visual for mechanics, teachers, accountants, chiropractors and artists who are pining to relocate from Lincoln, Little Rock, Lacrosse and Latrobe — they just don’t know it yet.

Imagine a place where tomorrow is always better than yesterday; a place where progress happens so fast, the hor-ror stories of just three years hence that made the town famous and infamous all at once, feel as though they might as well have happened 50 years ago. Today, those tales are testimony to a cooperative and compassionate spirit that’s at the heart of the new Williston.

… or something like that.Williston ought to buy an ad for the pilot episode of

“Oil.” If a national buy isn’t feasible, then target particular markets and watch as the commercial runs nightly on cable news shows while pundits debate whether to call it gall, audacity or chutzpah.

Even more reporters would then descend on Williston, not to do even more stories about ‘boom and bust’ but stories verifying the claims of the commercial.

You can bet ABC would pour its news resources on that story in order to cross-promote what figures to be an expen-sive, steaming dog turd of a show.

And for Williston? Conversation changed.

BY STEVE BURIANFOR THE HERALD

Growing calls to lift the federal ban on crude oil exports offer a well-founded, tremendous benefit to North Dakota as a whole.

Today, America is able to use shale oil discoveries to move beyond the 1970’s when inflation crippled our economy, the Middle East held America hostage with oil embargos, and Congress passed a ban on crude oil exports. Now, as the world’s largest producer of petroleum, America can produce its own petroleum, grow its economy, and help its allies.

The Bakken, with the largest recoverable reserves in the country, plays a special role in America\’s ability to grow its petroleum industry. Yet, US refineries are tooled for heavy crude that we used for decades, not the light sweet crude pro-duced by the Bakken. In fact, only two refineries in the nation exclusively accept light sweet crude, driving down demand and price for North Dakota\’s high quality oil. Lifting the export ban unlocks foreign demand for the Bakken crude and reverses this price discount.

Crude exports will grow petroleum production across the nation, not only in North Dakota. Study after study shows how lifting the ban benefits America\’s economy. An Aspen study showed an annual addition of $165 billion to the nation\’s economy and 37,000 manufacturing, 217,000 construction, and 148,000 professional jobs. Economists with IHS estimated that crude exports will grow crude production by 1.2 million bar-rels per day and add 964,000 jobs.

Yet, no state benefits more than North Dakota. Allowing crude oil exports will add more than 22,000 new jobs and $4.8 billion dollars of personal income to the state. Growing demand for Bakken oil adds demand for construction, manu-facturing, engineering, and professional capabilities in the Williston Basin, Red River Valley, and everywhere in-between. A strong petroleum industry in our state strengthens North Dakota\’s broader economy with the tax revenues for educa-tion, tax relief, water supply, and flood protection needed to keep and grow every sector of our economy.

The oil and gas industry, like agriculture, succeeds with the ability to market product worldwide and lifting the ban is a net benefit to workers, consumers and business owners, none more so than those in North Dakota.

Senators Hoeven and Heitkamp and Representative Cramer should be commended for their leadership, collaboration, and effort to lift the ban. Their non-partisan support offers to greatly benefit the nation and North Dakota.

Steve Burian is CEO of AES2, an advanced engineering

company based in Grand Forks.

Lifting oil export ban good for all

BISMARCK, N.D. – With the Memorial Day weekend approaching, many people will be cleaning cabins, sheds and other buildings that have been closed for the winter. The North Da-kota Department of Health (NDDoH) reminds residents to protect themselves against hantavirus, a viral infection associated with exposure to areas where rodents have been present.

“Hantavirus exposure can lead to hantavirus pulmo-nary syndrome (HPS), which is a viral infection that causes severe lung disease. Infected rodents, primarily deer mice, spread the virus in their urine, droppings and saliva. The virus is trans-mitted to people when they breathe in air contaminated by the virus, and on rare oc-casions it can be transmitted

through an infected rodent bite,” according to Michelle Feist, Epidemiology and Surveillance Program Man-ager with the Department of Health’s Division of Disease Control.

If you will be cleaning ar-eas that may have contained rodents, NDDoH recom-mends the following steps to avoid hantavirus infection:

Ventilate the space by opening the doors and win-dows for 30 minutes before cleaning

Do not stir up dust by sweeping or vacuuming up droppings, urine or nesting materials

Wear gloves and use dis-infectant when cleaning up dead rodents or their urine, droppings and nests

Saturate material with disinfectant for five minutes before removal.

North Dakota Department of Health Reminds Residents to Use Care While Cleaning to Avoid Hantavirus

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The first female general in the North Dakota Army Na-tional Guard says her father always believed she should be a general.

Col. Giselle “Gigi” Wilz, of Bismarck, was promoted to brigadier general during a ceremony Wednesday at the North Dakota Heritage Center.

“I think we all dream about it, but for the last 10 or 15 years, this has been some-thing I’ve been striving for,” she said.

Wilz, a native of Richard-ton, comes from military roots. Her father, the late Charles Wilz, was a Korean War veteran who retired from the National Guard as a colonel after 39 years of service. Three of her five siblings and a nephew also served as officers with the Guard. Between them, they have more than 165 years of military service.

Wilz has served in the Guard for 32 years, after en-listing in 1983 as a military police officer with the 191st Military Policy Company. Throughout her career, she

has held various leadership positions, most recently as the Guard’s chief of staff. She said she hopes she has set an example for both women and men.

“If somehow I’ve knocked a few barriers down for females along the way, then that’s a great thing, too,” she said.

Wilz, who has served overseas in the Middle East, Kosovo and Africa, leaves this month for a one-year tour commanding NATO forces operating in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“Service and strong leader-ship are the hallmarks of her military career,” Gov. Jack Dalrymple said in a statement. “I wish her and her team all the best during their tour of duty in Europe, and I know that they will represent North Dakota very well.”

While Wilz is the first Army Guard general in the state, she is the second female general. The first to earn the distinction was Maj. Gen. Terry Scherling, of the North Dakota Air National Guard, who retired in 2009.

Dear Annie: I am 17 years old and still in high school. I recently became “Jake’s” girlfriend. We’ve been dat-ing for about a week.

I’ve known Jake as a friend for a year, and we hang out with the same group. I never had feelings for him until I learned that he liked me, and even then, my friends kind of pushed me into the relationship.

His last relationship didn’t last long, partly because he and the girl had sex right away. When Jake and I started dating, I told him I am a religious girl and am not going to do sexual things with him. Well, we went to prom together and back to his house afterward, where we were alone. He started to put his hand up the back of my dress. I didn’t object be-cause he was mostly strok-ing my back.

The next day, we went to his house to watch a movie, and he started jumping all over me. It made me uncom-fortable, but I’m not good at communicating that, so I didn’t say anything. I just didn’t respond. Jake is also a sloppy kisser, and I’m not sure I can tolerate that.

Today I realized that I have feelings for another guy, and now I don’t know whether I like him more than Jake. But if I break up with Jake, I will be booted out of our group, and I have no other friends.

I don’t know what to do. I feel that Jake is pressuring me a little about sex, even though he hasn’t actually demanded anything. Should I stay with him and see where

it goes? Should I wait until summer to end it so that the group will have time to ad-just without making things super-awkward? Or should I just end things now and face losing my friends? -- Con-fused Girlfriend

Dear Confused: You al-ready know that you need to break up with Jake because you don’t actually like him and you feel pressured. We’d do it now, but if you would feel more comfortable wait-ing until school is out, that’s OK, too. You and Jake might be able to drift apart more naturally then. You might also confide in one of your friends that you and Jake don’t seem to be hitting it off as well as you thought. If your friends drop you over this, they aren’t truly friends. Real friends have your back.

Dear Annie: My girl-friend and I were planning

to go away together for a weekend next month while her daughter was staying with the ex. But the ex de-cided at the last minute to take his own vacation, so we have to bring her along or cancel.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Communicating with a distant friend or relative will remind you of your earlier goals. Revisit those ideas and start researching ways to get yourself back on track.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It may be flattering to be the object of attention, but a charismatic con art-ist may be leading you on. Rumors and gossip can fuel resentment and jealousy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Proceed slowly and care-fully. You are likely to miss an important detail or op-portunity if you are in too much of a hurry. Double-

check your work to ensure accuracy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t let the negativity of others prevent you from getting where you want to go. You will stifle opposi-tion if you move ahead with determination. Your suc-cess will be proof that you are right.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Make plans for a solitary day. Trying to get along with others or convincing them to follow your lead will be difficult. You can get more done on your own.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You can make great progress by staying fo-cused. Don’t get caught up in what others are saying or doing. If you stick to your game plan, you will come out on top.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- The benefits of as-sisting others will be satis-fying. Your generous spirit will inspire others, and your popularity will grow. You will gain the attention of an important mentor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone will try

to set you up for a fall. Be honest and own up to any error you make. Blaming others will make you seem untrustworthy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Romance is in the air. If you are single, this is the perfect time to meet some-one special. If you are not, show how devoted you are to your loved one.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You have control over your future. Educate yourself and make social and business connections that will give you an edge over the competition. Take charge and excel.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Limit your spending. Pay down any charges that are incurring interest. Your hard work will be wasted if you can’t stick to a realistic budget. Excess and indul-gence are your enemies.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- An entertaining day with family and friends will cheer you up. A game or challenge will shake up your usual routine and provide you with a pleasant and humorous diversion.

Time to breakup with high school boy

Annie’s Mailbox

Hesiod, an ancient Greek poet, said, “Observe due mea-sure, for right timing is in all things the most important factor.”

Right on! Many things in life require good timing: Meeting a potential spouse, a golf swing, music, and making or breaking a bridge contract.

In bridge, the order in which the cards are played often makes the difference between success and failure -- as in today’s deal. How should South time four spades after West leads the heart king?

In the auction, North wasn’t thrilled to bid two spades, but he did have seven points and three-card support. South would have liked a singleton, but he had so many aces and kings that he couldn’t stop short of game.

Declarer begins by count-ing the losers in his hand. He has four: one spade (assuming trumps are 3-2; if they are 4-1, the contract has no chance), two hearts and one club. It is possible that clubs will be worth three tricks, but that is slightly against the odds. Instead, South should plan to ruff his last heart in the dummy. But it requires care-ful timing.

Suppose declarer wins the first trick and returns a heart, West can take the trick and lead a third heart. Here, East overruffs the dummy, leads a club to his partner’s ace, and ruffs another heart, which effects an uppercut. West gets two trump tricks for down two.

Instead, declarer should duck the first trick, win the second with his heart ace, and draw two rounds of trumps before ruffing his last heart in the dummy. Even if East could overruff, it would be with his natural trump trick.

Favre playing football again - for charity

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Brett Favre will be playing football again in Wiscon-sin, just not at Lambeau Field.

The former Green Bay Packers quarterback will be participating in a char-ity flag football game the University of Wisconsin’s Camp Randall Stadium on July 19.

The event pitting former Packers against NFL All-Stars will come a day after Favre is inducted into Packers Hall of Fame during a ceremony at Lambeau.

Organizers and a Pack-ers spokesman say a sched-uling conflict at Lambeau and the game’s proximity to the start of the NFL season prevented the team game from being held in Green Bay.

So Favre thought the next best place to hold the game would be Madison, which is about a two-hour drive southwest from Lambeau.

“As far as Lambeau, I’d be lying if I said it wouldn’t have been great to play at Lambeau for obvious reasons. But it is what it is, and they have to get ready for the season and I guess it’s relatively close to that, and they have some other events prior to our flag football game,” Favre said in a teleconfer-ence.

Trenton-Trinity Christian School track and field athlete Austin Brown will be making his first appearance in the Class B state track and field meet set for this weekend in Bismarck.

Brown will be competing in the 100, 200 and 400-meter dashes.

He will also run a leg in the 4x200-meter relay for the Tigers.

Throughout the course of the season, Brown has also competed in the triple jump, long jump and high jump for the Crusaders. Since he can only compete in four events at state, he will not be competing in those events this week-end. Last week, Brown visited with the Herald about variety of other topics.

Q: When did you get started in run-ning and by whom?

A: Sixth grade. My mom was a college hurdler.

Q: What other sports do you play?

A: Basketball

Q: What are your thoughts on next

year’s basketball season?

A: With a new coach, it’s going to be a fun year.

Q: What other interests or hobbies do you have away from running?

A: I don’t do much else.

Q: What are you hoping to accomplish at the state meet?

A: I definite want to place in the 100 and 200.

Q. What tips do you for those looking to start running?

A. Start with the right habits. It happened to me, I got in the wrong habits, and had to start over.

Coyotes look to make loud statementWHS opens West Region tourney against Bismarck

MARK JONES | WILLISTON HERALD

Williston’s Caleb Owens hauls in a fly ball during a game on May 4 at Aafedt Stadium. The Coyotes will open the West Region tournament today against Bismarck in Mandan at 2:30 p.m.

BY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — After a strong start to the baseball season, the Williston Coyotes struggled down the stretch and ended the season on a five-game conference losing streak.

Luckily for the Coyotes, they have a chance for a fresh start with the start of

the West Re-gion baseball tournament today in Man-dan.

The Coy-otes, the No. 6

seed, will face Bismarck in a quarterfinal contest set for this afternoon at 2:30 p.m.

“We want to show what kind of team we are,” said

Wil-liston utility player Thad Thomp-son.

The two teams split a pair of confer-ence games during the reg-ular-season. Wil-liston

knocked off Bismarck last month at Aafedt Stadium 10-3, while the Demons bounced back with a 7-3 win in last week’s regular-season finale.

Williston’s hot start can be credited to solid pitching and clutch hitting.

Both of those have disap-peared in recent weeks.

How does Williston turn the momentum back in its favor?

“We’ve got to make the plays when they come to us,” said Williston left fielder Cole Weltikol

Weltikol got the offense going against Bismarck in the game at Aafedt with a leadoff home run in the bot-tom of the first.

And the Williston junior says that is another part of

Williston’s key to success.“We’ve got to go up to the

plate swinging,” he said.While Mandan emerged

as the West’s top team, the region is so tight and competitive that almost any combination of the nine con-ference teams could emerge as the four representatives in next week’s state tourna-ment.

“Everyone is pretty close,”

said Williston right fielder Caleb Owens.

Early in the season, Willis-ton had the ability to deliver two-out, run-scoring hits. While that trend has slowed a bit in the last few weeks, Owens, who drove in three runs in the loss at Bismarck last week, says the team needs to keep battling.

“Keeping confidence at the plate,” he said.

The winner of today’s game will advance to play the Bismarck Century-Minot winner in the semifinals on Friday.

The two losers will also play on Friday in an elimina-tion game.

“I feel like we are the better team,” said Williston sophomore Brett Engen. “But we’ve got to get off the bus (ready to play.”

CLASS A TRACK AND FIELD

WHS looks to have good weekendBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

While winning a state track title just isn’t in the cards for the Williston High track and field team, there are a few athletes that should bode well in individual events this weekend at the Class A state track and field meet in Bismarck.

Leif Everson and Devan Shumway will compete in the 3,200-me-ter run for the Coyotes.

Everson will also com-pete in the 800 and 1,600.

For Shumway, running in this weekend’s meet is something most runners wouldn’t do.

The Williston senior is coming off his second Achilles heel injury in roughly a year.

“It started out small, but it wasn’t too bad,” Shumway said.

Shumway discovered injury in February and was limited to only seven weeks of running this spring.

But still, the accom-plishment of qualifying

for state for the first time is something he cher-ishes.

“It feels really good,” he said.

On the girls side, the team of Kayla Bloomquist, Jana Mischke, Elizabeth Goe-bel and Hannah Juhl will run in the 4x800-meter relay.

Mauer lifts Twins to win over Pirates in 13 innings

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Joe Mauer hit his first home run of the season, a solo shot off Antonio Bastardo in the 13th inning to help the Minnesota Twins to a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night.

Mauer’s fly ball to right reached the first row of seats, his first home run since Aug. 17, 2014. Torii Hunter went 3 for 5 with three RBIs for the Twins, who improved to an AL-best 13-5 in May.

Brian Duensing (2-0) picked up the win. Glen Perkins worked the last inning for his major league-leading 15th save.

Josh Harrison went 3 for 6 for the Pirates. Andrew Mc-Cutchen had three hits, in-cluding a solo home run off Blaine Boyer in the eighth but the Pirates fell to 0-6 in extra-inning games when Bastardo (0-1) let Mauer go deep.

Pittsburgh has lost six of seven and moved a season-worst four games under .500.

Smith, James lead Cavs past Hawks 97-89 in Game 1

ATLANTA (AP) — LeB-ron James scored 31 points and J.R. Smith made eight 3-pointers and added 28, leading the Cleveland Cava-liers past the top-seeded At-lanta Hawks 97-89 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Wednesday night.

Intent on bringing Cleveland its first NBA title, James sealed the victory with a soaring dunk in the final minute. But Smith was the one who ignited the Cavaliers, going 8 of 12 from 3-point range.

For the Hawks, it was the second straight series in which they’ve lost the open-ing game at home. Cleveland will look to take command of the series in Game 2 Fri-day night.

Jeff Teague led Atlanta with 27 points. But the night really turned sour for the Hawks when DeMarre Car-roll, their leading scorer in the playoffs, went down with what appeared to be a left knee injury driving to the basket with 4:59 remain-ing. He was helped to the locker room, not putting any weight on his knee.
