WILLISTON — North Dakota’s Department of Mineral Resources ordered a Denver oil company to extend a previously im-posed consent agreement to shut in four wells near the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers on Wednesday after record-breaking rainfall threatened flooding.

Zavanna LLC, the state’s 21st-largest oil producer, complied with the agree-ment and volunteered to shut in eight additional wells until flood warnings pass, said Alison Ritter, state public information officer. Other oil producers, including Statoil, Rim Op-erating and Proven Petro-leum, have volunteered to consider shutting in wells near the confluence in light of the possibilities of the confluence rising above the 22-foot flood stage by the

weekend. Representatives of the three companies were not available for comment.

More than 1.5 inches of rainfall hit the area Tues-day, exceeding the record of 0.9 inch in 2002, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administra-tion.

“It makes it a lot more dif-ficult to get to these sites if the roads flood,” said Ritter, who added that state inspec-tors have reminded oil producers to take necessary steps to ensure adequate diking remains in place and secure all equipment on site, such as filling tanks with fresh water.

Lifting the ordered and voluntary shut ins will depend on NOAA reports, Ritter said.

WILLISTON — Bakken oil producers beat expectations with small jumps in produc-tion in the first quarter of 2015.

The state’s top producer, Oklahoma-based Conti-nental Resources, saw a 4 percent surge despite 19 fewer rigs in operation from the end of last year. Output jumped to 206,829 barrels per day on an average of 13 operating rigs, but posted a net loss of $132 million in the quarter.

Chairman and CEO Har-old Hamm said the company would maximize returns by focusing on wells in Wil-liams, McKenzie, Mountrail and Dunn counties.

“Looking ahead, U.S. oil production is starting to roll over, as anticipated,” he said in a conference call.

Hamm said Continental will continue to operate with three completion crews, which is down from 10 in 2014, and has 115 wells in the Bakken drilled and awaiting completion. He estimates the company will

have 90 drilled and waiting for completion at year’s end.

“Our teams have done an outstanding job making the necessary adjustments to achieve our 2015 goals,” Hamm added.

Whiting Petroleum, the Bakken’s largest landowner, reported it saw a record 133,500 bpd, an 82 percent in-crease from the first quarter of 2014. Accounting for the large jump was the company finalizing its acquisition of Kodiak Energy in December.

Whiting will also focus ef-forts on Williams, McKenzie and Dunn counties.

Hess Corp. also reported a production uptick in the first quarter compared to the same period last year.

Statewide, North Da-kota saw a minor jump in March after prices seemed to bottom out. Alison Rit-ter, spokeswoman for the Department of Mineral Resources, said Tuesday the state is expecting more wells to be completed in June.

Bad guys beware, they’re coming for you. And they’re aiming for the worst of the worst.

A task force com-prised of local, state and federal law en-forcement agencies is

setting its sights on root-ing out organized crime in the Bakken region, offi-cials said on Wednesday.

The Bakken Organized Crime Strike Force will operate out of the quad-rangle of Minot, Bismark, Dickinson and Williston, with a focus on shutting down large organized crime rings involved in violent, wide-spread opera-tions such as drug and sex trafficking, gun crimes, property crimes and fraud.

The unit, which is made up of 50 agents and four prosecutors, has officials in North Dakota and Montana working together, with Montana’s

law enforcement and U.S. Attorney’s office offering resources and help.

“This is a regional prob-lem, requiring a regional solution,” said Joe Thag-gard, the criminal chief of the U.S. Attorney’s office in Montana.

In Williston, the drug trade, particularly meth-amphetamine and heroin, is likely to be the top focus, North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said.

When he took office about 15 years ago, the fo-cus was on shutting down small “mom and pop” meth labs, Stenehjem said. Those small-time opera-tions essentially died out

because of enforcement and tightened restrictions on pseudoephedrine, an ingredient in many cold medications that’s used in the manufacturing of methamphetamine.

But now, the drug’s re-surgence has hit Williston particularly hard.

“Folks are bringing in methamphetamine directly from the cartels in Mexico, from California and other areas of the country,” Stenehjem said.

Part of the problem, he said is that the drug sells for higher prices in this area, netting dealers more profit.

WILLISTON — There is no shame in loving the doughnut, especially since the doughnut has a long his-tory of helping those who fought for our country.

This friday, Go Go Donuts will partner up with the Salvation Army to celebrate National Doughnut Day. If it wasn’t for the Salvation Army, there wouldn’t be a National Doughnut Day.

During WWI, WWII, and the Vietnam war, The orga-nization had ‘Donut Girls,’ also known as lassies, who made fresh doughnuts and served them to the men on the front lines.

“I really want to make this a tradition; My two goals are in conjunction with the Salvation Army,” said said Constance Colburn owner of Go Go Donuts in down-town Williston. “I want to inform the community that the Salvation Army is here

to help them, and I want to thank the Salvation Army for all they do.”

For this National Dough-nut Day, when you purchase a ‘baker’s dozen’ at Go Go Donuts, forgo your 13th donut and Go Go Donuts will donate the cost of it to The Salvation Army and match your donation,” Colburn said. “I will strictly be selling 12 doughnuts in a baker’s dozen when nor-mally there is 13 available. The customer would theo-retically donate that extra doughnut in the baker’s

WILLISTON — What do guys sink money into? Oh, you know, grills, coolers, power tools – guy stuff. Some might say they also like to ride bikes through town and ogle classic American cars.

But how often do guys get to sink money into those things and feel good about it?

The Knights on Bikes fourth Annual Motorcycle Run will feature all that “guy stuff” and the money spent by participants will go to the Veteran Relief Fund, which helps veter-ans in need of assistance. These funds will derive

from a $20 registration fee, a silent auction, a fajita meal, and T-shirt sales.

Bruce Johnson, a mem-ber of the Knights, said riders register at 10 a.m. and are welcome to view a display of classic cars, which will continue until 2 p.m.

Abiding with the veteran theme, the first 50 riders to register will receive a free camoflauge skull cap. At 11 a.m., riders will start their engines for the ride and receive a police escort through town and onto the highway. After the ride, fajitas will be served at St. Joseph’s church between 5 and 7 p.m.

The silent auction will start and 10 a.m. and con-tinue through Sunday at 11 a.m., also at St. Joseph’s church. Items up for bid include a generator, pop

During the wars, the donut girls would fry the doughnuts in the soldiers’ helmets. When they first started, they could only make about 150 doughnuts a day, then the demand doubled, and soon the lassies were making 9,000 doughnuts a day.

“We are really focusing on letting people know there is a National Doughnut Day. This year we want to get the word out to let people know that Go Go Donuts will be partnering with us. We want to help support Go Go Do-nuts as they are supporting

us” said Kristen Oxendahl of the National Salvation Army.

Oxendahl said the Salva-tion Army of Williston would like to make National Doughnut Day a tradition for more years to come. She also expressed that the Sal-vation Army is looking to find new and creative ways for events and donations that will benefit the com-munity.

National Donut Day is cel-ebrated annually on the first Friday in June as a way to honor the Salvation Army “lassies” who served fresh donuts to soldiers fighting in World War I.

coolers, a grill, a TV, small power tools and farm-themed toys. “It’s a great auction,” said President and Grand Knight of the K.O.B. Michael Savage. “All the stuff that men would want.”

Savage said the three previous years have at-tracted an increasing number of participants. Last year, 35 bikers revved up for the ride, raising

over $20,000 for their cho-sen fund. In the past, the Knights have funded the patches and badges of the 818th Engineering Com-pany and paid medical bills of a child with cystic fibrosis.

“It keeps getting bigger every year,” Savage said. “We don’t do it for the recognition, we just do it for the cause.”

to shut in four wells until May 30, Ritter said. The state Industrial Commission brought an administrative action against the company Aug. 11, 2014 after finding it failed to heed state warn-ings of flooding. An unan-chored tank that contained about 33 barrels of oil at the well site broke a valve and leaked about 1,400 gallons of oil southwest of Williston.

“We needed to extend this time period because there was an additional threat to flood,” Ritter said. “The agreement date expired, but the new potential for flood-

ing came in. Shutting in the wells is the responsible thing to do.”

As a precaution, Zavanna shut in wells in January, and due to recent rainfall, had planned to keep them shut even before the state ordered the extension of agreement. “We shut in the wells to avoid any issues,” said Kim Waite, a produc-tion engineer at Zavanna. “We’ve now chosen to leave them shut in until we’re no longer concerned from the river levels and rain in the area.”

day, 110 to 120 completions must be made per month,” said DMR Director Lynn Helms, noting 189 were completed in March, the last month data is available.

About 880 wells in North Dakota were awaiting completion after the first quarter, a drop of 20 from February. Major factors in production during the first quarter were low prices, the now-avoided oil extraction trigger, natural gas capture efforts set forth by the North Dakota Industrial Commis-

sion and enhanced condi-tioning rules from the NDIC.

Low commodity price could slow one major Bak-ken player from ramping production up.

EOG said in its quarterly call that average well costs were down 14 percent. But, the company stated an inten-tion to hold off on growth until a major improvement is seen, adding that produc-tion was “at the bottom of the commodity” cycle.

In the Bakken region, heroin typically goes for $450 a gram, and the same amount of methamphet-amine sells for $200.

For heavy users, a gram is enough for a day, said Det. Sgt. David Peterson of the Williston Police De-partment. Addicts who pay hundreds of dollars daily for drugs “are all contributing to a sense of organized crime, theft and burglaries,” he said.

Stenehjem, who is a Wil-liston native, said he’s seen the area undergo a dramat-ic change.

“This city and region are far different than when I lived here,” he said. “We cannot ignore the fact that we are facing a serious law enforcement crisis.”

Bruce Ohr, director of the Department of Justice’s Organized Crime Drug En-forcement Task Force, trav-eled from Washington D.C. this week to see the Bakken region first-hand.

He said that although the oil boom has meant a host of improvements for the area, “what goes along with that are people who come to take advantage, selling drugs, committing crimes - these are huge challenges for law enforcement who are used to dealing with a smaller population. There is a crucial federal role to play.”

Two more Bureau of Criminal Investigation agents will join the four already here in Williston, to focus primarily on internet crimes against children and human trafficking, and two additional agents will start working in Watford City, Stenehjem said.

The task force’s forma-tion coincides with the arrival of FBI agents, who will work out of a tempo-rary location until their of-fice is completed next year.

WILLISTON — A Willis-ton man was high on meth and carrying a sword when police arrived at his home before dawn on Monday, a court report says.

Timothy Falcon, 55, called 911 for help about 4:30 a.m., and when cops showed up, he walked to-ward them holding a sword in one hand and a large stick in the other.

He agreed to put the weapons down, but not before police noticed that he seemed to be acting extremely energetic and paranoid, the report said.

Police said Falcon admit-ted to an officer that he’d recently used metham-phetamine, and officers patted him down, finding a knife with blade of about 14 inches under his shirt, a switchblade in his pocket, multiple small knives and a small plastic bag contain-ing suspected methamphet-amine.

He was charged with

ingesting a controlled substance, a Class A misde-meanor.

FARGO – A man has been sentenced to 19 days in jail by a municipal court judge for driving a Zamboni while drunk during a high school hockey game on New Year’s Eve.

Steven James Anderson faced a Class B misde-meanor driving under the influence charge after wit-nesses reported Anderson was driving the Zamboni erratically during a Fargo Davies girls hockey game against Williston at South Sports Arena.

Defense attorney Lind-sey Haugen said Anderson wasn’t guilty because neither North Dakota state law nor Fargo city ordi-nance defines a Zamboni as a vehicle.

The law goes into some detail about trucks, bicycles, snowmobiles and various other conveyances and whether they’d be consid-ered a vehicle, but it ex-cludes Zambonis, Haugen said after court.

Witnesses who took the stand included WDAY-TV anchor Dana Mogck, who attended the game against Williston.

Mogck and another wit-ness, Troy Cody, told the court they noticed Ander-son, who was employed by the Fargo Park District, weaving the Zamboni before crashing it hard into the boards several times.

Mogck told reporters he saw Anderson holler from behind the controls of the Zamboni for the sound

operator at the game to “crank it up” during an AC/DC song.

Cody called police, who testified that An-

derson told them he’d been celebrating at a friend’s birthday party about four hours before the hockey game started.

A police test showed An-derson had a 0.314 percent blood-alcohol content.

Municipal Court Judge Stephen Dawson found An-derson guilty.

In addition to being sentenced to nine days in jail, Anderson must stay on a 24/7 alcohol monitoring program until next March.

“Not in a million years did Steven think what he was doing was a crime,” Haugen said after court. He said Anderson rode a bicycle to the game that night and planned to take a taxi home.

“He’s terribly embar-rassed. He’s a nice kid,” Haugen said.

Anderson told the court he was going through some difficult personal issues at the time of the Zamboni in-cident, and made changes in his life, including adopting the 24/7 alcohol monitoring system four months before Tuesday’s hearing.

“It was a tough end of the year, start of the year,” Anderson told the judge. “I hope never to see you again.”

FARGO--The North Dakota State University Development Foundation and Alumni Association has released an audio record-ing from a Dec. 16 meeting that, according to the state attorney general, was ille-gally closed to the public to discuss a severance package for Doug Mayo, the fundrais-ing group’s former CEO and president.

Mayo, who was ousted in late December, initially asked for a severance pack-age worth $600,000, accord-ing to the recording made available Wednesday.

But in the end, Mayo settled for a deal worth an estimated $104,000 that included four months’ pay, moving expenses and a 2014 Ford Expedition, a founda-tion vehicle that he used.

Hired as CEO and presi-dent in mid-2013, Mayo departed after a dozen mem-bers of his staff resigned in 2014 and key employees claimed they were demoted without cause. Such issues led leaders of the develop-ment foundation and alumni association to meet in closed sessions on Dec. 4 and Dec. 16 to discuss Mayo’s ouster.

In an opinion released Tuesday, Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said clos-ing the meetings violated North Dakota’s open meet-ings law.

While the audio recording of the Dec. 4 meeting has not yet been made public, the recording from the Dec. 16 meeting has been released. It consists mainly of Lisa Edison-Smith, the

fundraising group’s attor-ney, giving board members an update on her negotia-tions with Mayo, who is also an attorney.

Edison-Smith told board members that during negotiations she and Mayo discussed his claim that his work environment was hostile. Although, both sides agreed they had much to lose from any protracted litigation, she said.

Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., will seek re-election in 2016, his chief of staff said Thursday morning.

It remains early in the political season, but campaign staff has already begun to lay out the groundwork, said Don Larson, the senator’s chief of

staff.As senator, Hoeven has supported

legislation to approve the Keystone XL pipeline and allow crude oil exports. He has supported funding for airport and highways services in western North Dakota and announced new U.S. Postal and FBI facilities in Williston.

Hoeven, who served three terms

as governor, was first elected in 2010, becoming the first Republican sena-tor from North Dakota since 1986. His initial campaign announcement came one week after the state’s junior senator, Democrat Byron L. Dorgan, announced that he would not seek a fourth term.

Science president touts expansion of college affiliation WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) —

The expansion of a regional college affiliation in south-eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota should benefit students and the local economy, North Dakota State College of Sci-ence President John Rich-man said.

Tri-College University was founded 45 years ago to combine course offerings from North Dakota State University in Fargo, Con-cordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, and what is now Minnesota State University Moorhead. An expansion announced last week will add the College of Science — based in Wahpeton with

a satellite campus in Fargo — and Minnesota State Community and Technical College in Moorhead.

The agreement includes an exchange program that allows undergraduate stu-dents to take courses at any of the Tri-College campuses without paying additional fees, which should improve graduation rates, according to Tri-College University Provost Tim Flakoll.

The expansion would also boost businesses, Richman told The Daily News of Wah-peton.

“If you need a workforce and you’re looking to relocate or expand, having 35,000 available students is a

plus for a business,” he said. “We really see it strengthen-ing the region. It’s a way to recruit business and to recruit students.”

“Serving the community since 1993”

If you close your eyes and visualize 1987 in Williston, things would be much different.

While things might have been a little slower in the oil patch back then, this was the first year a group of volunteers announced Willis-ton would be the new home of the Miss North Dakota Scholarship Pageant.

Now, 29 years later, a number of those dedi-cated individuals are still on board and the pageant continues to be showcased right here in Williston.

From that start, a number of lovely ladies, along with their friends and families, have ventured out west to take part in the festivi-ties.

Hey, even a number of reigning Miss Amer-icas have made an appearance in Williston.

You might recall a visit from a former Miss America Jacquleine Mayer who was here in 1988 and participated in a Mercy Hospi-tal event, while Carolyn Sapp was in town briefly in 1991 during her reign.

The latest visit from a reigning Miss America was Kirsten Haglund in 2008, with an event held at the Eagle Ridge Golf Club.

These are but a few of the early highlights of this spectacular event.

In looking back, the folks involved did it right and in style from the very start, as a limousine pulled up alongside what was then the Plainsman building carrying individuals involved in the press conference.

B. Michael Quale and Jack Dyville were instrumental in bringing the pageant to Wil-liston and they have been the producers the entire time, according to long-time volunteer Marilyn McGinley.

We can tell you that you won’t find two more dedicated and talented individuals who would take on such a task and see it through.

At the same time, Marilyn is also one key member of this team, having served on the board of directors for more than 20 years, as have Ted Lindseth, Renee Rogness, Marian Hamilton, Mark Jensen and Marla Bean.

You won’t find a harder working group of volunteers who cover all the bases and then some.

They have been joined by a number of other key individuals to make this event come together.

“It has been a great ride and we are proud of what we have done for the young women of our state,” said Marilyn, on behalf of the board.

She went on to add, “most importantly they have had the opportunity to learn valuable interview skills, earn scholarship dollars, as well as showcasing their talent and bring-ing their platform message to thousands of North Dakota youth.”

IN TOP TENOver the past year, Miss North Dakota rep-

resentatives have shone on the national stage, calling attention to the talented young ladies sent from this local pageant.

Tina Curran, back in 1988, was the first to be named among the Top 10 at the Miss America level.

That proved to be a special highlight in our family, with our youngest daughter Jill then taking part in her role as the Little Sis for Tina.

Meanwhile, in 1996, Roxana Saberi also stood out and was named among the Top 10 finalists at Miss America.

Then there was Ashley Young in 2008 be-ing named Miss Congeniality, while Rosie Sauvageau in 2012 was a preliminary talent winner.

Most recent was just last year as Jacky Ar-ness (2014) was named Miss Congeniality and finished in the Top 16 at Miss America.

ANOTHER SHOWWell folks, hang on to your hats, as 2015 is

here and that means an opportunity for 24 young women to compete for the crown of Miss North Dakota.

The competition will be held once again at the Williston High School Auditorium on June 11, 12 and 13.

You should know the starting time will be 7:30 p.m. each evening.

The contestants will be arriving here on June 8 and rehearsals will begin that eve-ning.

Now that’s not wasting any time, as on Thursday of that week each young woman will have a 10-minute private interview with the judges.

They will also compete in talent, evening gown, on-stage interview and physical fitness each evening.

Miss North Dakota 2015 will be crowned on

the evening of June 13.Once taking over the

crown, she will immediately become a role model for the youth of our state, compete at Miss America, speak to students in the schools throughout the year, as well as making business appear-ances.

So as you can see, there’s a lot of work involved for the lucky winner.

JUDGE TALENTJudges for the 2015 pageant

will include: Miss North Da-kota 1995, Kim Cooley White of Texas; Gene Hill, Idaho; Jeffrey A. Johns, New York;

Vicki Morrison, Pennsylvania and Jay Engel, Nebraska.

You should also know, the public is invited and encouraged to attend the performances all three nights.

Tickets are available at the Williston Con-vention and Visitors Bureau (701-774-9041) and at the door each evening.

If you’re new in town, and haven’t taken this event in, here’s your opportunity.

In addition, there is an opportunity to take in the Ice Cream Social that is held from from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the James Memorial Center.

Going on 30 years, this event is good for the community and deserves your support.

THIS WEEKENDOrganizers tell us “Sparkle & Shine” is

the theme of the 22nd annual Miss North Dakota’s Outstanding Teen Pageant.

This event is set for this Saturday, also taking place at the Williston High School Auditorium.

Competition will begin at 4:30 p.m. as 18 young women from across North Dakota will compete for scholarships and the title of Miss North Dakota’s Outstanding Teen.

So you see, Williston is the host of yet an-other event of statewide magnitude.

Areas of competition on Saturday will in-clude interview, talent, life-style and fitness, evening wear, on-stage question and scholas-tic achievement.

The winner of this competition will ad-vance to compete for additional scholarships on a national level in the Miss America’s Out-standing Teen July 28-August 1 in Orlando, Florida.

IN TOP TWELVEReportedly the reigning Outstanding Teen,

Raghen Lucy of Williston, represented North Dakota very well during her competition in Orlando last July.

Raghen was a Top 12 Finalist in the compe-tition, giving it her best effort.

She started in grand fashion as she went on to win Thursday night’s Preliminary Talent Award with her piano solo, “Pirates of The Caribbean” and earned a $500 scholarship along with it.

Raghen also received the Overall Instru-mentalist Award, People’s Choice Award and was a Top Ad Sales Recipient.

Now that sounds like an outing she can be very proud of.

Now she will co-emcee the event here with former Teen State titleholder and local Miss titleholder, Tina (Domagala) Larson.

In addition to her role as co-emcee, Raghen will be performing an original piano compo-sition during the pageant.

Among other featured guest performers for the event will be Miss North Dakota 2014, Jacky Arness; 2012 Miss North Dakota’s Out-standing Teen 2012, Kaylee Seven and Miss North Dakota 2012, Rosie Sauvageau.

Tickets for the Miss North Dakota’s Out-standing Teen pageant are $12 for adults and $8 for elementary and high school students and will be available at the door.

Should you need more details you are being asked to get in touch with the Teen Directors Allen and Lavina Domagala at (701) 572-3698 or email missndyouthpageant@hotmail.com.

Over the years this couple has given many hours to make sure this event is a success.

This is another event we highly encourage you to attend.

WICKCOMMUNICATIONS

On June 4, 1940, during World War II, the Allied military evacuation of some 338,000 troops from Dunkirk, France, ended. Addressing the British House of Commons, Prime Minister Winston Churchill declared: “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

On this date:In 1783, the Montgol-

fier brothers first publicly demonstrated their hot-air balloon, which did not carry any passengers, over An-nonay, France.

In 1784, opera singer Elisabeth Thible became the first woman to make a non-tethered flight aboard a Montgolfier hot-air balloon, over Lyon, France.

In 1892, the Sierra Club was incorporated in San Francisco.

In 1919, Congress ap-proved the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing citizens the right to vote regardless of their gender, and sent it to the states for ratification.

In 1939, the German ocean liner MS St. Louis, carrying more than 900 Jew-ish refugees from Germany, was turned away from the Florida coast by U.S. officials.

In 1942, the World War II Battle of Midway began, resulting in a decisive American victory against Japan and marking the turning point of the war in the Pacific.

In 1944, U-505, a German submarine, was captured by a U.S. Navy task group in the south Atlantic; it was the first such capture of an enemy vessel at sea by the U.S. Navy since the War of 1812. The U.S. Fifth Army began liberating Rome.

Letter to the Editor

Hillary Clinton’s real primary opponent

In a sane world, the 2016 presidential election campaign would begin about this time next year. However, the politi-cal infotainment wing of our esteemed national news media seems intent upon pushing the contest ever earlier -- wheth-er voters like it or not. TV ratings and enhanced career opportunities depend upon it.

Unfortunately, Dan Merica, a CNN producer who followed Hillary Clinton to South Carolina, appears to have mislaid the script. Instead of shouting rude questions, Merica sought out an ordinary voter Hillary had chatted up in a bake shop. What had they talked about?

1 Corinthians 13, as it happened: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.”

A Baptist minister, Rev. Frederick Don-nie Hunt was sitting in a Columbia bakery reading his Bible when Clinton stopped by. “I was impressed and glad that she knew the scripture that I was reading and studying,” Hunt said. “It impressed me that someone running for president has that background. It is important to me that we have a presi-dent that has some belief.”

An Obama voter in 2008, Rev. Hunt now plans to support Clinton. “God bless you,” he told the candidate as she got up to leave.

Make of it what you will. But if you’re like me, you learned something interesting from the CNN story. Too many like it, however, and Merica’s career in Washington could be endangered.

According to a recent “political memo” by Jason Horowitz in the New York Times, Clinton’s Democratic rivals have no realistic chance. “That leaves the news media,” he opines, “as her only real opponent so far on the way to the Demo-cratic presidential nomination.”

Well, it does have the virtue of honesty.To be fair, Horowitz’s point is that the press clique has

grown so hostile that “it makes all the political sense in the world for Mrs. Clinton to ignore them.”

He describes scenes in which reporters, bored and angered by Hillary’s announced strategy of traveling around talking with nobodies like Rev. Hunt, have treated her rare press availabilities as virtual bear-baiting exercises: shouting questions of the when-did-you-stop-looting-your-Foundation kind, which she “obfuscated ... with ease.”

Horowitz provides no examples. Readers have to take his word for it. In this carnival-like atmosphere, he adds, “it is not clear what Mrs. Clinton gains politically from playing the freak.”

Yowza! Stung by reader outrage, Public Editor Margaret Sullivan

expressed chagrin at her newspaper’s “sometimes-fawning, sometimes-derisive tone in stories about Mrs. Clinton,” par-ticularly that last “startling line.”

Times editors were characteristically dismissive, argu-ing readers had misunderstood the author’s meaning -- as if it were a T.S. Eliot poem rather than a newspaper story. Believe me, I’ve been there. No matter how dead-to-rights you’ve got them, they’re the New York Times, and you’re not. It’s like arguing with a bishop.

A reader comment by Paul Goode of Richmond put every-thing in perspective: “It’s never a good strategy to patronize readers. And don’t make it worse by peddling self-interest as a profile in courage. The Horowitz piece was not only invidi-ous; it was a not-so-veiled threat about what Ms. Clinton can expect if she doesn’t get in line.”

Can expect? How Hillary handles the never-ending bar-rage of gossip and contumely directed against her and Bill Clinton by the Washington media clique could decide the 2016 election. The Times itself, Bob Somerby notes, has all but openly declared war, and the Washington Post isn’t far behind.

Last Sunday’s 2,200-word opus by Deborah Sontag about Bill Clinton’s appearance at a fundraiser for Czech model Petra Nemcova’s Happy Hearts Fund must have set a world record for fact-free insinuation.

A one-time Sports Illustrated cover girl, Nemcova started a charity supporting Third World kindergartens after a near-death experience in the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami.

Clinton spoke at Nemcova’s event in exchange for a $500,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation to be spent on a joint project building schools in Haiti.

Dear editor:Our country must lift the ban on oil exports. Rarely can

we set new policy that benefits every part and strata of our country’s population, and for those in and around North Dakota, we stand to gain the most.

First, understand that the Bakken doesn\’t have the best price economics. With new supplies from the Bakken, Eagle Ford and Permian formations, light sweet crude fetches significantly lower prices in the US than elsewhere in the world. Transportation from our state - whether by rail or pipeline — is expensive, much like the increasing regula-tion on the industry. Low oil prices and new supply means that we no longer need or benefit from the ban on crude exports.

Since the 2008 recession, the oil and gas industry led economic growth in not only North Dakota, but the nation as a whole. The industry has created thousands of jobs, both directly and indirectly. From drilling and production, to engineering and construction, the economic impact the Bakken has had on local businesses, employees and their families is something most North Dakota residents have never seen before and may never see again. We cannot forget the downturn in price and drilling directly affects employees, families, and local economies. Lifting the ban ensures their jobs remain secure and the local economy continues to thrive.

Surprising to many, lifting the ban gives better pricing for oil producers and falling prices for consumers at the gas sta-tion. This is because there isn’t a ban on exporting gasoline or diesel, meaning US demand sets crude prices while world demand sets gasoline prices. Lifting the ban will decrease world oil prices, lower world refinery costs, and subsequent-ly lower the cost of gasoline here and worldwide.

Lifting the ban on crude exports is a no brainer. Everyone stands to benefit.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are following European markets lower Thursday as a deadline approaches in Greece’s debt talks. Greece remained stuck in talks with its creditors about releasing more emergency funds ahead of a debt payment due Friday.

KEEPING SCORE: The Dow Jones industrial average slid 24 points, or 0.1 percent, to 18,061 as of 10 a.m. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost two points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,112. The Nasdaq composite declined two points, a sliver of a percent, to 5,098.

MERGER TALKS: A report that Dish Networks is talking to T-Mobile US about a possible merger sent both compa-nies’ stocks up in early trading. The Wall Street Journal said that the two sides have yet to nail down crucial details.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Sharing your ideas will lead to a new project stemming from an unlikely source. By broadening your circle of friends, you will also create stronger allies.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Being caught on an emotional roller coaster will have damaging effects. Keep your distance from toxic or demanding individuals. Say no to unreasonable people. Consider your needs first.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even if you aren’t respon-sible for an unfortunate circumstance, do what you can to ease the burden of the people affected. Having

a sympathetic ally will give strength to those who are struggling.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Take your mind off current troubles by engaging in fami-ly time. Attending a sporting event or visiting a craft fair or carnival will help lift your spirits and strengthen your relationships.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Harmony at home will de-pend on the way you react to challenging circumstances. Relationships will be dif-ficult. Pursuing a hobby you can work on alone will help you avoid a dispute.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you feel lethargic, get some fresh air. Moderate exercise is a great way to stimulate and motivate you. Moping around the house will lead to stagnation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Take an objective look at a deal or collabora-tion. Don’t take on additional financial obligations, but of-fer hands-on help. You don’t know what you can accom-plish until you try.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Before you make

a move or leave your current position, consider the pros and cons. Other people’s ex-periences will not be a true reflection of how matters will pan out for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Too many choices will confuse you. Before you sign on for a new project, ask a trusted friend for advice. His or her perspective will help you make an informed deci-sion.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Take pride in the way you live. Make your home com-fortable and convenient if you want to improve family dynamics. Host a get-togeth-er where you can showcase your efforts.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you waste your time fighting with an unreason-able individual, you won’t have the energy to pursue enjoyable activities. Keep your thoughts to yourself and avoid discord.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will be surprised to hear about or from a past partner. Before you decide to reunite, remember why and how you parted ways.

Colin Mochrie, a Canadi-an who is one of the stars in the funny improvisational show “Whose Line is it Any-way?” said, “Nine out of 10 Americans believe that out of 10 people, one person will always disagree with the other nine.”

In today’s deal, how should South play in six spades after West leads the heart queen? What would declarer do if his club 10 were the club nine?

In the auction, there is no need for South to gallop skyward; his two-spade re-bid is forcing. North’s jump to four spades promises at least four-card support, but requires no points and de-nies a first- or second-round control (no ace, void, king or singleton). Then, South’s final bid is a gamble, but who would do less?

The simple line is to take two club finesses, a line with a 76 percent probabil-ity of success. Declarer has two dummy entries with the spade nine and a heart ruff. However, it is better to have a 100 percent line available.

South wins with his heart ace, draws trumps, cashes his top diamonds and heart king, and ruffs his last heart in the dummy. Then declarer plays a club to his 10 (or queen). Here, West wins with his jack (or king), but what does he do next?

West is endplayed. If he returns a club, it is into South’s tenace. Or, if West leads a heart or a diamond, declarer ruffs in the dummy and discards a club from his hand.

Finally, note that the same play works with the club nine instead of the 10. South covers East’s first club as cheaply as possible.

CROSSWORD

A6 WILLISTON HERALD THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 2015 Comics

Dear Annie: I am so hurt about the way I was treated during one of the most dif-ficult times in my life. Last week, I lost my dear brother of 59 years to a sudden heart at-tack. He had underlying medi-cal conditions, but the sudden passing still hit me hard.

My fiance and I have lived together for the past four years. We have not yet mar-ried due to financial rea-sons, but his family, friends and children all know that we consider ourselves life partners. I thought I had a good relationship with these people, including his young adult daughters. I have them over for dinner several times a week and help pay for their college tuitions and cars. Last year, when two of his friends had weddings, I took time off of work and paid to travel out of state to attend and to take part in wedding showers for their children.

All of these people are friends with me on Face-book and see everything that is posted about our lives. When my brother died, I posted his obituary along with details about the funeral and visitation. My partner also told these peo-ple about what happened.

Annie, not a single person called, texted, sent a card or came to the visitation. They didn’t even post “sorry for your loss” on my Facebook page. These are profes-

sional, well-educated people who know how to behave in social situa-tions. When my partner lost his par-ents within a short time of each other, these same people were right there

for him and his sisters. If any of them had lost a sib-ling, I would have brought food, sent flowers and called to see how I could help.

I am crushed by the total lack of acknowledgment from any of them, particu-larly my fiance’s daughters. I feel I’ve been an idiot to consider them friends or family. I’m not even worth a text message to them. I told my fiance that I want nothing more to do with these phony people now that I know how they really feel about me. How should I deal with my anger and resent-ment? -- At a Loss in Ohio

Dear Ohio: Our condo-lences on your loss. We agree that these people should have acknowledged your brother’s passing. However, they may not have known him well (or at all) and so felt little connection to your loss. Many people, even well-educated ones,

aren’t sure how to react to the death of someone with whom they have only a remote third-person associa-tion. And when unsure, they do nothing.

Please tell your fiance’s daughters and closest friends how hurt you were that they did not offer con-dolences, and express your hope that this did not mean they don’t care. We think they will apologize, and for the sake of your relation-ship, we hope you can find a way to forgive them. We can assure you that it serves no purpose to hold a grudge.

Dear Annie: I have some advice for “Germ-Free,” whose friend never washes his hands before eating. I carry hand sanitizer in my purse and pass it around the table after ordering. When they see me pull it out, most friends ask to use it. I don’t even have to offer. Just be sure to use the kind that is NOT antibacterial so you don’t end up with something that promotes antibiotic resistance. -- Haven’t Had a Cold in Years

Michelle Stewart is enjoying her time on the softball diamondBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

The Williston High School sports season just wrapped up.

Among the highlights the Coyotes enjoyed during the 2014-15 school year was fielding a softball team for the first time.

Michelle Stewart, an incoming se-nior, played an integral part in Willis-ton’s inaugural softball season.

Stewart, who is also a hockey player, has played softball for much of her life, playing on traveling teams throughout the years.

On Wednesday, Stewart visited with the Herald about the recently-complet-ed season and a few other topics.

Q: How did the first season Williston softball season go?

A: It went pretty well for a first season. There are things we need to work on.

Q: What is like to play high school soft-ball compared to traveling leagues?

A. I’ve played traveling teams all of my life, and there is definitely better pitching at the high school level. We feel like we are moving up the ladder.

Q: What is it going to take to have a more successful season next year?

A: We got to get more girls used to the pitching. We got to get every-body used to the speed of the game.

Q: What was the highlight of the season?

A: Making it to WDA. Anything past that would have (been great).

Q: You also play hockey, which is your favorite sport?

A: Both. It’s just a seasonal thing.

Q: How can young athletes get started in the sport?

A: Do everything you can do to get better. These summer leagues will help, and play as early as you can.

Q: How surprised are you that Willis-ton didn’t start up a program until now?

A: Everyone else had one. It was surprising that we didn’t even with our population, It sucks that we didn’t get one until now.

COLLEGE HOCKEY

Tetons have a new home

MARK JONES | WILLISTON HERALD

The Agri-Sports Complex has hosted Williston State College hockey games for the first four years of the program’s existence. It was announced on Wednesday, however, the Raymond Family Community Center will be the new home for Teton hockey games starting this winter.

Williston State College to play games at Raymond CenterBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — The Agri-Sports Com-plex has become well-known around these parts for being home of the Williston State College hockey team.

However, that will all be changing this winter when the Tetons take to the ice for the 2015-16 season.

Williston State College hockey coach John Bowkus announced Wednesday that the Tetons will play their home games at The Raymond Fam-ily Community Center, starting next season.

“We are very excited to be able to move Teton hockey to the Raymond Center,” Bowkus said. “With this move, we will have a venue that we will be able to call all our own.”

The decision to make the move is based on several factors, including ice time and the desire to be closer to the community.

“As youth hockey has continually grown at a high-level,” said Williston State College Athletics Director Dan

Artamenko. “The demand for ice time has increased exponentially.”

With the move, there will be less of a scheduling conflict between youth

leagues, the high school teams and the college.

“At the Agri, teams had to rotate playing games at prime time,” Arta-menko said. “Cou-pling that with the high school there were many times the Tetons were playing

at less desired times.”Artamenko says the op-

portunity to attract new fans played a part in the decision.

“The Agri-Sports Complex provides a great rink and atmosphere for hockey,” he said. “But due to location and ice time capacity, your fan base tends to be the same people. Being in a location that is easily visible, closer to major employers such as Mercy Hospital and Williston State College, we feel fans are more likely to checkout our games.”

The Tetons’ move to the Raymond

Center, will create more opportunities on the ice for others.

“On their game days, we only get 45 minutes of practice,” said Williston High girls hockey player Michelle Stew-art. “Every second counts.”

The decision to move was formed off the relationship Willis-ton State College has with the Williston Parks and Recreation District.

“The move to the Raymond Center was the first step in a multiple step, joint effort to renovate and use the Raymond Center,”Artamenko said.

The ice at the Ray-mond Center will not be ready until Nov. 1. The Tetons will play their first four home games of next season at the Agri.

“A huge appreciation goes out to the Williston Basin Hockey Club,” Bowkus said. “For allowing us to use the Agri-Sports Complex for the past four years as our home rink.”

‘With this move, we will have a venue that we will be able to call our own.’

Williston golfers end season on a high noteBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

The Williston High School golf team wrapped up the season Wednesday afternoon at the Class A state meet at Edgewood Golf Course in Fargo.

The Coyotes finished the tournament 12th with a 693, including a 342 on Wednes-day.

“We shot nine strokes better today,” said Williston boys golf coach Matt Liebel.

“We were happy with the tourna-ment. We were hoping to beat some-body, but I

got to remind the guys there seven or eight other teams that didn’t qualify for state.

Williston was paced by se-nior Paul Suess, who closed out his high school career with a 79 on Wednesday and shot a 158 for the two days.

“Paul played well again,” Liebel said. “He’s upset with himself. He missed a couple of putts.”

Suess missed earning all-state honors by five strokes.

Sam Hendricks, of Fargo Davies, won the individual state title with a two-day total of 146.

Minot’s Cody Reynolds struggled in Wednesday’s final round and finished the tournament 10th.

West Fargo won the team title with a 621.

While the meet didn’t go the way Williston had hoped, it figures to be a spring board for the future of the program.

“Hopefully, they (the returning players) will have the drive to get back,” the Williston coach said. “And will put in the work during the offseason.”

Blackhawks rally to stun Tampa Bay 2-1 in Final openerTAMPA, Fla. (AP) — After 53 minutes

of scoreless frustration, the Chicago Blackhawks needed less than two minutes more to roar back on top in the Stanley Cup Final opener.

Teuvo Teravainen and Antoine Ver-mette scored 1:58 apart late in the third period, and the Blackhawks rallied to stun the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Wednesday night.

Corey Crawford made 22 saves for the Blackhawks, who opened the final se-ries in their quest for their third NHL

title in six seasons with more of the clutch offensive play on which they’ve built a champi-onship team.

“You just learn not to panic and keep working hard,” Crawford said. “Stick to your game plan, and we’ll get our chances.”

Nothing worked for Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane — but with their two stars off the ice and the clock dwin-dling, the Blackhawks’ role players

delivered to crush the Amalie Arena crowd celebrating Tampa Bay’s first trip to the Final since winning the 2004 title. Teravain-en scored through traffic with 6:32 to play, and Vermette got the winner in the slot with 4:34 left.

Game 2 is Saturday night in Tampa.

Ben Bishop stopped 19 shots and Alex Killorn scored in the opening minutes for Tampa Bay, which appeared to be closing in on a gritty shutout victory.

MLB

Twins, Red Sox split twin bill

BOSTON (AP) — Eduardo Rodriguez pitched brilliantly for Boston in the opener of the day-night double-header. Another rookie, Minnesota’s Trevor May, was even better in the second game.

The Twins’ right-hander al-lowed two hits over seven innings to lift Minnesota to a 2-0 victory and a split of the double-header on Wednesday.

In the first game, the Red Sox left-hander allowed one run and two hits in seven innings in a 6-3 win.

“You kind of count on your veterans over the long haul,” Twins manager Paul Molitor said, “but when young guys can step in and play a part in what kind of season unfolds for your club, it’s a huge lift.”

SOUTH AFRICAN POLICE INVES-TIGATING WORLD CUP BRIBES

CAPE TOWN, South Af-rica (AP) — South African authorities have opened a preliminary investigation into World Cup bribery al-legations, and an opposition lawmaker said Thursday he had information suggesting “high-level” involvement.

Anton Alberts of the Freedom Front Plus said the information his party received claimed a previous investigation into payments around the World Cup bid was stopped by “high-level interference.”

“It (the information) does tell us of an event that took place and an investigation that was stunted from a political level,” said Alberts, an opposition member of parliament.

The South African inves-tigation comes after the U.S. Department of Justice last week indicted 14 people on corruption charges related to soccer. Seven of them were arrested in Zurich ahead of the FIFA congress and are awaiting extradi-tion.

In a separate investiga-tion, Swiss authorities are looking into the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding process.

IS REDUCES WATER SUPPLY TO GOVERNMENT AREAS IN IRAQ’S ANBAR

BAGHDAD (AP) — Islamic State militants have reduced the amount of water flowing to government-held areas in Iraq’s western Anbar prov-ince, an official said Thurs-day, the latest in the vicious war as Iraqi forces struggle to claw back ground held by the extremists in the Sunni heartland.

It’s not the first time that water has been used as a weapon of war in Mideast conflicts and in Iraq in par-ticular. Earlier this year, the Islamic State group reduced the flow through another lock outside the militant-held town of Fallujah, also in Anbar province. But the extremists soon reopened it after criticism from resi-dents.

The IS captured Ramadi, the provincial capital of Anbar, last month, marking its most significant victory since a U.S.-led coalition began an air campaign against the extremists last August. Earlier last year, the Islamic State had blitzed across much of western and northern Iraq, capturing key Anbar cities and also Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city that lies to the north of Baghdad.

TEXAS DOCTORS DO FIRST SKULL-SCALP TRANSPLANT

Texas doctors say they have done the world’s first partial skull and scalp trans-plant to help a man with a large head wound from cancer treatment.

MD Anderson Cancer Cen-ter and Houston Methodist Hospital doctors announced Thursday that they did the operation on May 22.

The recipient is Jim Boy-sen, a 55-year-old software developer from Austin, Texas. Radiation treatments for a rare cancer left him with an open wound in his head that would not heal. Along with the scalp and skull, he received a new pancreas and kidney to treat lifelong diabetes.

Boysen expects to leave the hospital Thursday.

FBI: BOSTON MAN TALKED OF A BEHEADING, KILLING OFFICERS

BOSTON (AP) — A knife-wielding man killed by terror investigators had planned to behead an unidentified victim, then changed his mind and said he wanted to kill police of-ficers, the FBI said.

Usaama Rahim plotted for at least a week, the FBI said in a complaint against a family member who was ar-rested Tuesday, hours after

Rahim was shot to death. The relative, David Wright, was ordered held Wednes-day on a charge of conspir-acy with intent to obstruct a federal investigation.

The FBI said Rahim bought three fighting knives and a sharpener on or before May 26. On Tuesday, he told Wright he planned to begin trying to randomly kill police officers, the FBI said.

FLOODING SPARKS GHANA GAS STATION BLAST, KILLING AT LEAST 73

ACCRA, Ghana (AP) — Flooding in Ghana’s capital swept stored fuel into a nearby fire, setting off a huge explosion at a gas station that killed 73 people and set alight neighboring buildings, authorities said Thursday.

The blast took place as dozens of people sought shelter at the gas station and in nearby shops in central Accra to escape the torrential rains. The disas-ter raised anew concerns over the city’s inadequate infrastructure.

TV footage showed corpses being piled into the back of a pickup truck and other charred bodies trapped amid the debris. Floodwaters around the site

hampered rescue and recov-ery efforts.

Officials at the nearby 37 Military Hospital said its morgue had reached capac-ity.

President John Dramani Mahama visited the scene on Thursday, calling the death toll “catastrophic” and offering condolences to families of the victims.

CHINA RESCUERS PULL OUT MORE BODIES; OVER 360 STILL MISSING

JIANLI, China (AP) — Disaster teams that have recovered 77 bodies from a capsized cruise ship in the Yangtze River prepared late Thursday to use cranes to start pulling it upright to quicken the search for more than 360 other victims who could be trapped inside.

The operation to right the Eastern Star shifted the focus from finding survivors more than 72 hours after it overturned to salvaging the vessel and retrieving bodies.

Transport Ministry spokesman Xu Chengguang said divers would put steel bars underneath the ship, which would then be lifted by two 500-ton cranes. A huge net has been placed near the cranes and another one a few meters (yards) downstream to catch any

bodies.Two smaller cranes were

also on site and boats were stopped from entering the area.

CHIEF: WISCONSIN OFFICER CLEARED IN SHOOTING WILL PATROL

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A white Wisconsin police offi-cer was exonerated Wednes-day by an internal investiga-tion into his fatal shooting of an unarmed 19-year-old biracial man, a move that follows prosecutors de-clining to file charges and clears the way for him to go back to work. The Madison Police Department issued a summary of its finding that Officer Matt Kenny did not violate its deadly force poli-cies in the March 6 shooting death of 19-year-old Tony Robinson. The conclusion of the internal examination comes one month after Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne decided not to charge Kenny in the case.

Kenny, a 12-year veteran, has been on paid leave since the shooting.

“He’s looking forward to working, to getting back and doing the job he loves,” said Kenny’s attorney Jim Palmer, executive director of the Wisconsin Profes-sional Police Association.

BY AMY DALRYMPLEFORUM NEWS SERVICE

WATFORD CITY — As dozens of law enforcement officers lined up here Tues-day to celebrate the ground-breaking of a new jail, it was hard to believe that about six years ago the community had just four deputies and four police officers.

McKenzie County leaders are building a new facility to house growing law enforce-ment resources – which will soon include 25 deputies and 19 sworn police officers – that have expanded in the state’s busiest oil county.

The McKenzie County Combined Law Enforcement Center will include a 129-bed jail, saving the county money and staff time from transporting inmates as far as Fargo and Grand Forks due to lack of space.

The county in the heart of

the Bakken has seen a rapid increase in crime in recent years along with the popula-tion growth.

“A lot of good people do come seeking opportuni-ties, but also along with that comes opportunists, people who take advantage of our citizens, people who are here to deal drugs, to engage in human trafficking and other kinds of criminal activ-ity,” said Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, one of the officials who attended the ceremony.

In addition to the sheriff’s office and police department, the new facility will house the North Dakota High-way Patrol, the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the Northwest Narcotics Task Force and other agencies.

“Unifying law enforcement agencies together in one building shows the citizens

of McKenzie County our commitment to ensuring a safe and secure county to raise your families in,” McK-enzie County Sheriff Gary Schwartzenberger said.

McKenzie County’s cur-rent jail has 12 beds, but the county typically has 45 to 65 inmates in custody, Schwart-zenberger said.

The county spent $2.2 mil-lion last year to transport and house prisoners in other counties, he said.

The lack of jail space means that misdemeanor of-fenders or other non-violent offenders sometimes have to postpone when they serve their sentence, said North-west Judicial District Judge Robin Schmidt.

“Some people can’t get into jail,” Schmidt said. “I always tell them when they leave to make an appointment be-cause it’s a popular place.”
