Evolution of crew camps may be endingBY LAUREN DONOVANBISMARCK TRIBUNE

WATFORD CITY, N.D. — Watford City tourism direc-tor Doug Bolken’s favorite ad is of a cowboy eating sushi at the new Japanese steakhouse in this western oil boom town.

For him, it’s a perfect il-lustration of the never-end-ing and amazing evolution of the oil patch.

There is another evolution going on in Watford City these days — one that may also extend countywide — that is inciting far stronger emotions than a hankering

for raw fish wrapped in seaweed.

This evolution would eventually end the crew camp-style RV parks in city limits as a way to boost its permanent population.

There are approximately 100 such temporary work-force units in town, allowed under about 10 conditional-use permits. The permit holders were recently sent notice that their permits would be reviewed this year, then phased out.

ALL ABOUT TIMINGMayor Brent Sanford said

the timing is almost right. About 1,500 apartment and duplex units are on line or under construction in

town and rental rates are dropping, with some one-bedroom units at $1,600 a month, down from $2,000 to $2,400 or more.

Circumstances have changed in the five years since temporary housing was critical to handling the inflow, he said.

“We will build our future on properly zoned housing developments, not these,” Sanford said.

Bolken, who’s also on the city council, says it may be the right idea, but not the right time. Even though oil development is slowed and many workers have left, the community has several huge

SIDNEY, Mont. — Bak-ken oil production will be around for years, but some political strings are going to have to be pulled to drive up sweet crude prices before things pick up, according an industry analyst.

Rayola Dougher, of the American Petroleum In-stitute, met with Montana farmers in Sidney in the far northeast corner of the state this week to talk oil and agriculture. Oil, natural gas and the fertilizer that comes from refining play major roles in farm produc-tion costs. In Bakken coun-try, oil and farm interests are folded together.

Dougher said it’s possible to have the higher crude prices the Bakken oil econo-my needs and still keep fuel affordable for farmers.

API is lobbying Congress to waive the export ban on American oil. Refineries outside the United States and dependent on sweet crude would be willing to pay more for Bakken oil if they could get it, Dougher said, because their refining costs would go down.

Adding more Bakken oil to the global mix would at the same time lower the average price for oil, includ-ing heavy crude, which is what most refineries in the United States are designed to refine.

Dougher said the mem-bers of the Montana Farm Bureau that met with her this week were the right audience to understand the importance of exports, given how much Montana’s grain economy relies on overseas sales.

WILLISTON, N.D. – As oil activity slowed down a few months before her Williston café was set to open at an expanded location, Lonnie Iverson grew nervous.

“I actually bought a new house, too, and then the oil prices dropped,” the 34-year-old Williston native said. “It puts a little twist in every-body’s gut, I suppose.”

But Lonnie’s Roadhouse, which opened in March next to its former location, has stayed busy, despite layoffs of oil workers and fewer truck-ers parked at the gas station nearby.

“We just pack them in here,” Iverson said. “There are some

people I know that have left, but for the most part, every-body’s still here.”

More women come to the café now that it’s no longer connected to a gas station near truckers who sleep in their trucks.

“I think they were scared to come into the other place,” said Iverson, adding that she likes the truckers because they keep an eye on things for her.

After the oil boom brought an influx of new people to Williston, Iverson had to stop keeping the café open 24 hours a day. Too many rowdy, drunk customers would come in after midnight, including a stripper who once assaulted one of her waitresses, she said.

“I wanted to stay open for

the guys that actually needed a place to go and eat, but yet we couldn’t control it,” said Iver-son, who bought the restaurant 10 years ago. “You shouldn’t have to have a bouncer at a café.”

After changing her hours, Iverson gave a key to the café to a group of local men who were used to coming into the restaurant early to be at work by 6 a.m. “They’ll start the cof-fee,” she said.

Iverson was recently hon-ored by Williston Economic Development as the woman-owned business entrepreneur of the year. Even with drop in drilling, Iverson said she still thinks there are good oppor-tunities for entrepreneurs in Williston.

Meg-A-Latte Day a hit

Charlee Guild • Williston HeraldOlivia Agre got her face painted as Batman during Meg-A-Latte Day in Williston on Sunday. The event included a free concert put on by the band Local Dice and free food provided by the cater-ing service Noble Casing. Meg Wold, owner of Meg-A-Latte, put on the event to celebrate her four years in business in Williston. See story on Page A2.

WILLISTON — For the meager price of $5.35, per-haps the price of a beer in a local bar, collectors of the popular “Magic: The Gather-ing” card game can enter the weekly Friday Night Magic tournament at Grand Slam Gaming Cards and Com-ics, located on Main Street Players walk in the door just before 7 p.m. to sign in, pair up and demolish one another in a make-believe world – all in good fun, of course.

And though the game’s theme takes place in a fantasy universe, it isn’t just for “nerds.” Last Friday’s attendance can attest to that – veteran magic players and beginners alike poured into Grand Slam Gaming, some fresh from the oil fields. Peo-ple in khakis and polo shirts dealt their cards across from tattooed opponents wearing band T-shirts.

“Magic is about people from different walks of life,” said Arianne Kopa, who co-owns the store with her hus-band, Frank. “Here, people from all over the country can get together and have a good time.”

The Kopas run the store with some hired help. Patrons can purchase a vast selection of collectible items such as sports cards, board games, comics and of course, Magic cards. In fact, the store originally opened in Minot with the sole inten-tion of selling sports cards. They’ve since expanded to Williston in the past year.

“People kept coming in, asking if we carried Magic cards,” Arianne said. “And

we try to get people what they want.”

Eventually, the collection of Magic cards won out. Both the Minot and Willis-ton stores now deal mostly in Magic cards. Appropriate, given that approximately 12 million people play Magic.

Frank said Friday Night Magic usually attracts anywhere from a dozen to three-dozen people.

“Unless it’s a pre-release date,” Frand said. On these days, the store has the new-est set of Magic cards avail-able for demo play. “Then the place is packed.”

For those unfamiliar with the game, “Magic: The Gathering,” usually referred to as simply “Magic,” is a collectible card game that can be arranged into decks. Those decks, if concocted well, function as a working force against other players’ decks. Cards coincide with one another to create strong creatures or work powerful spells. A player wins a game of magic when his opponent loses all 20 of his life points or is forced to draw from a depleted deck. There are few other ways to play the game, some of which only allow newer sets of cards, some of which allow any officially

printed magic cards in exis-tence.

The gameplay itself is very straightforward – but the decks can become very intricate.

Decks are based on dif-ferent factions, represented by colors: white, black, red, blue and green. Players usu-ally create decks belonging to one or two of these fac-tions and align them along certain strategies. Collectors buy sealed packs of cards in hopes of finding specific cards or rare cards of value, usually bought individually by those who want to sup-port specific decks.

Frank pointed to a shelf running almost the entire length of the wall, which holds a couple thousand magic cards. The rarer and more powerful cards are of-ten printed on gold or silver foil, giving the cards a very fancy, detailed and colorful look. The shelf holds almost no duplicates.

This makes sense, as Magic cards have been produced and printed since 1993. Every year, Wizards of the Coast, the company re-sponsible for designing and printing the cards, releases new sets of cards to the pub-lic. According to them, there are just over 13,600 different

magic cards in existence.Eric and Ryan were paired

together for the first round. Both visit the store a few times per week to do busi-ness and partake in the many other scheduled game sessions, such as Dungeons and Dragons, Yu-Gi-Oh or Warhammer.

Both players have created many decks, which they claim is half the fun of the game. Eric said he values his own Magic card collection at around $3,000.

“You design different decks for different formats,” Ryan said. Some decks work well when pitted against oth-er decks. Some people create decks for the sole purpose of defeating nemesis decks.

And though the construc-tion on Main St. has essen-tially hidden the storefront, it doesn’t stop the regulars from Friday Night Magic. With luck, they will beat out their opponents and have a share of the pool, which is funded by the $5.35 buy-in. Even if they don’t make it, they can enjoy free popcorn and the company of fellow enthusiasts.

WILLISTON — Music, food, coffee and friends were brought together as Meg-A-Latte put on their first Mega-Blast event.

Last Saturday, Meg-A-Latte put on a special event as a way to give back to the community.

“I wanted to put on an appreciation event to give back to the community for the last four years,” said Meg Wold, owner of Meg-A-Latte.

“I wanted to let them know I appreciate their business, and to come and enjoy a free day on me.”

At the event there was a free concert featuring a lo-cal band, Local Dice. There was entertainment for all ages, such as jump n’ fun inflatables, face painting,

crazy hair and of course, free food catered by Noble Casing.

“We enjoy catering to the community, and when we get the chance to give back we are up for it. Meg approached us and asked if we would cater, and of

course we said yes” said Sean Scott of Noble Casing.

“It’s just an awesome event,” said attendee Jes-sica Agre. “I can’t believe how many vendors came together for a free event. Its a good thing for the kids and family.”

Saturday night’s Miss North Dakota

WILLISTON — Miss Grand Forks has a new title: Miss North Dakota.

Delanie Wiedrich of Ha-zen, N.D., was crowned late Saturday night by the Miss North Dakota Scholarship Organization in Williston, where she competed against 23 women for the state title.

Wiedrich, who takes over for Miss North Dakota Jacky Arness of Fargo, will travel to Atlantic City, N.J., to compete in the Miss America pageant on Sept. 13. She will also receive $17,500 in scholarships funds.

She currently attends Minnesota State University-Mankato.

Wiedrich, 19, was crowned Miss Dickinson before gain-ing the Miss Grand Forks title. She also was a Burning Hills Singer for the Medora Musical in 2014.

Miss Fargo Faye Strom-berg was first runner-up, followed by second runner-up Miss State Capitol Reyna Bergstrom of Horace, N.D. Miss Red River Valley Chenise Nesler of Fargo was third runner-up. Miss Kittsona Abby Mattson of Grand Forks was fourth runner-up.

In Miss North Dakota’s Outstanding Teen competi-tion, Miss Bismarck’s Out-standing Teen Olivia Larson took the title.

construction projects in the works, including a new hos-pital, events center and high school, besides commercial buildings and residential subdivisions.

Those contractors also need affordable worker housing.

“We’re not quite in the sweet spot,” Bolken said.

The issue came up at last week’s city meeting, and the council agreed to let the situation stand through the summer. He said some permit holders showed up looking for a fight, but they all needed a reminder that their conditional permits are for temporary housing, something easier said than done.

“We all (city council) felt like there’re not enough apartments at reasonable rates. Some might say we’re kicking the can down the street, but they did get a let-ter that they are on notice. A transition to permanent housing is better for com-munity roots,” Bolken said.

Bolken is also a member of the planning and zoning board for McKenzie County, which has thousands of crew camp units — there is no precise count because the county didn’t adopt zoning or a conditional-use permit system until late in the game — with the heaviest concentration around Wat-ford City.

The county will review its temporary housing permits at the end of the year and will quit issuing any new ones at the same time, ac-cording to Bolken.

“The county will come to a full stop. We do not need any more,” he said.

Sanford said the city can only affect hundreds of tem-porary housing situations, while the county can affect thousands.

For that reason, he said he hopes the county will get on board with the goal of evolving this boom county from workers in temporary units to men and families in apartments and family homes.

“I hope it becomes a high priority,” he said.

Living in a fifth-wheelerStan Sutherland, in a

working man’s denim blues and driving a pickup, lives in a small fifth-wheeler in BBR RV Camp on the east side of Watford City.

He’s an electrician for Pyramid Electrical Contrac-tors, and, like a lot of guys in the oil patch, he left his home and family two years ago for the good pay and steady work.

He doesn’t love living in a row of small RVs, all fronted by big pickups. But the $700 lot rent, with water, sewer

and electric included, means he can juggle the expense of his life in the patch and his family’s life in Wisconsin.

Sutherland would like to get out of the camper because he’s tired of living in survival mode in extreme winter cold.

On the other hand, even if some one-bedroom apart-ments are now at $1,600, down from $2,000 or more, that’s still too high, he said. Prairie Properties, which handles leases for several apartment developments in Watford City, is listing one-bedroom units at $1,800 to $1,900 for a 12-month lease. That’s based on a call to the number listed on a banner ad hanging off the side of one of the complexes.

“At $1,200 a month, a lot of us would (make the switch).

But when they’re in the $2,000 range, then show me the ocean. I didn’t come to this point just to fork over my hard-earned money out to a builder. I feel like we’re being played,” Sutherland said.

Billie Morken, whose family owns some of the 36 spaces in the RV park and manages the operation for the other lot owners, said she thinks it’s wrong that temporary housing is being targeted just because apart-ment investors need tenants.

It is hard to gauge occu-pancy in such a dynamic en-vironment, though Watford City’s building inspector Steve Williams said he re-cently inspected one 42-plex building — one of six in a development project — that has only four tenants.

2 LANES OF TRUCK BYPASS IN NORTH DAKOTA OIL BOOM-TOWN OPEN

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — The state Transportation Department says two lanes of a truck bypass in Willis-ton are open.

Officials tell the Williston Herald that the Northwest Truck Reliever Route is intended to ease traffic con-gestion in the city and make driving safer.

The lanes were open on Saturday.

Williston Mayor Howard Klug says the route to divert truck traffic away from town will cost the state about $162 million. Work on the south-bound lanes of the route is expected to be completed in August.

NORTH DAKOTA DRILL RIG COUNT DROPS TO 75; LOWEST SINCE 2009

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — State data show the number of oil drilling rigs in North Dakota is at the lowest level since 2009.

The state Department of Mineral Resources says there were 75 rigs drilling in western North Dakota’s oil patch on Monday. That’s 112 fewer than one year ago. There were 214 rigs drilling on the same day in 2012.

Department of Mineral Resources Director Lynn Helms predicted last month that production would hover around 1 million barrels a day until prices rebound.

Officials say each active oil rig represents about 40 direct jobs and 80 indirect jobs in the state.

MINOT POLICE INVESTIGATING 4 ROBBERIES OVER 12-HOUR PERIOD

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Minot police are investigating a rash of robberies in the city.

KXMC-TV reports that police responded to four rob-beries over a 12-hour period on Sunday.

Police say the robberies were reported at Budget Music and Video, Our Savior Lutheran Church, Lowe’s Garden Center, and Trinity Evangelical Free Church.

Police say they will release more details on the robber-ies on Monday.

NORTH DAKOTA’S STATE-OWNED FLOUR MILL PLANS EXPANSION

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s state-owned flour mill is undergoing a $4.4 million expansion.

The Bismarck Tribune re-ports ( http://bit.ly/1fcGrjO ) the expansion will involve nine new bulk storage bins and scales. Mill general manager Vance Taylor says the expansion will increase capacity. He says it also will lower labor costs, reduce mill downtime and reduce bulk rail car leasing costs.

The project is slated to be completed next spring.

MAN KILLED, 3 INJURED IN HEAD-ON CRASH NEAR DICK-INSON

DICKINSON, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a 26-year-old Killdeer man was killed and three people were injured in a head-on crash in western

North Dakota.The patrol says the crash

happened Sunday night on Highway 22, about two miles north of Dickinson. Troop-ers say a man was killed after his Toyota Corolla veered into the southbound lane of the highway, hitting a Mercedes Benz head-on. A 17-year-old female passenger in the Toyota was injured and taken to a Dickinson hospital. The patrol says the 25-year-old driver of the Mercedes and his 21-year-old female passenger also were injured and taken to a local hospital.

LINCOLN MAYOR RECALL RACE HEATED WITH CONTROVERSY

Dissension between Lin-coln Mayor Bob Johnston and the Lincoln City Coun-cil has resulted in a recall election on Tuesday.

Challenger Gerarld Wise wants to replace Johnston in the final year of a four-year term, which ends June 2016.

Polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Lincoln City Hall.

The rift between Johnston and council members may reflect Lincoln’s growing pains — a transition from small bedroom community to one that must make big-ger city decisions about infrastructure, law enforce-ment and staffing. The most recent source of conten-tion is how the city should resolve overland flood issues and high groundwater tables. Johnston wants to tie a drainage system into a county 2016 road project at Lincoln Road and 52nd Street.

Forum News ServiceAhren Wagner, 11, shows the dead tadpoles he had been raising in a kiddie pool in his north Fargo back-yard.

FORUM NEWS SERVICE

FARGO -- Some 300 tad-poles that 11-year-old Ahren Wagner was raising in a kiddie pool behind his house died last week the day after a truck spraying for mosqui-toes passed by.

“They were all dead,” he said. “Except one, and it died later.”

A biology enthusiast who recently graduated from Longfellow Elementary School, Wagner said he wor-ries the spraying is damaging the local ecosystem and pos-sibly killing useful natural predators of mosquitoes, such as frogs. “It doesn’t only kill mosquitoes.”

Mosquito fighters at Cass County Vector Control, who received an email from Wag-ner last week, are aware that spraying pesticides can have an impact on the environ-ment, according to Director Ben Prather. There is no question that it kills helpful

insects such as dragonflies, which also eat mosquitoes, he said. But that also must be balanced with the demand for eradication of pests that annoy people and can carry diseases, he said.

Though permethrin, the pesticide that Vector Control uses, is safe enough to be found in household prod-ucts, Prather said spraying is the last resort when more targeted killing of mosquito larvae are no longer effective.

The nearly 8 inches of rain that fell over the metro area last month has led to a popu-lation boom that his crews are still struggling to control, he said.

The bigger questionWagner’s and Prather’s

competing views are repre-sentative of the debate be-tween environmentalists and conservationists on one side and pest control and public health officials on the other.

Some environmentalists be-

lieve that natural predators should be used to control the adult mosquito population. These include not just frogs and dragonflies but purple martins and bats. To date, there appears to have been no experiments that prove or disprove biological control can be effective.

But scientists who study biological control or “biocon-trol” say that for a predator to be successfully used in mosquito control it would need to breed as fast as mosquitoes to respond to the population boom. For this reason, studies on biocon-trol methods have primarily focused on parasites, fungus, bacteria and viruses.

Mosquito-control profes-sionals maintain that they must rely on chemical pesti-cides for now. Many agencies, like Cass County’s, focus most of their efforts on kill-ing mosquitoes while they’re still waterbound larvae.

Boy’s dead tadpoles in Fargo raise questions about mosquito spraying

The Export-Import Bank has been around for 81 years, providing loans and pro-

tections for American companies selling their products abroad. The bank’s charter runs out at the end of June, and renewal has always been a noncontroversial bipartisan process.

Not this year. A cabal of right-wing activists -- linked to the tea party and the billionaire Koch brothers -- have decided to make killing the bank an ideological crusade. Their bullying tactics have won important converts among House Republican leaders, including Rep. Jeb Hensarling, chair-man of the Financial Services Com-mittee. If the bank’s charter ever came up for a vote, it would certainly pass. So Hensarling is simply sitting on the legislation, exercising a one-person veto.

Proponents still think the bank will eventually survive. But Hensar-ling and his henchmen are playing a dangerous game that can only damage American companies and workers at a time when the country’s economic

recovery remains fragile. Opponents argue that the bank practices “crony capi-talism” and distorts the free market. But they are preaching theology, not econom-ics. Their arguments are based on faith, not facts. And even some fellow conservatives among House Repub-licans are appalled at their ignorance.

Rep. Chris Collins of New York told a press conference he

was “befuddled” by the sudden jihad against the bank: “I can’t figure out for the life of me why my party, the Republican Party, that stands for jobs -- and in every conference meeting, it’s ‘jobs’ and ‘the economy’ -- and here I am, in the minority in my own confer-ence, fighting to defend the Export-Im-port Bank, which is the best example of creating jobs in America.”

Here are the facts: In the last fiscal

year, bank underwriting supported $27.4 billion in U.S. exports and 164,000 jobs. Yes, much of that financing went to big corporations like Boeing, but 3,340 small businesses also benefitted.

These are good loans; the default rate is well below 1 percent, and they cost the taxpayers nothing. Repeat: nothing. Bank operations are financed by fees paid by loan recipients. Last year Ex-Im turned A good example is Bassetts Ice Cream, based in Philadelphia. According to David Patti, president of the Pennsylvania Business Council, entering the global marketplace was “too risky” for Bas-sets without Ex-Im backing.

“If a foreign purchaser refused to pay, Bassetts would have to eat the loss,” he wrote in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “As a small company, Bassetts couldn’t stomach such risks.”

Then in 2008, it received $3 million in loan guarantees from the bank. “The guarantees sweetened the deal for Bassetts,” says Patti. “Today, the small business sells thousands of gallons of ice cream to distributors in China, India and the Caribbean.”

The Ex-Im fight reflects two larger issues in American politics. One is that outside interest groups repeat-edly assert economic falsehoods and remain undeterred by reality. Doug-las Holtz-Eakin, a loyal Republican economist, told The New York Times: “I think too many conservative argu-ments are made on the basis of ideol-ogy and faith.”

And conservatives are not the only sinners. Trade unions are playing the same game, deriding foreign trade deals as bad for the economy when the opposite is true. The second issue is the way Congressional districts are drawn, guaranteeing members of both parties clear sailing in a general election. Their only fear is getting attacked by more hard-line opponents from their own party, and anti-Ex-Im forces are using the threat of well-fi-nanced primary challenges to frighten lawmakers into opposing the bank.

Faith plays a critical role in Ameri-can life, but when it comes to econom-ics, facts are more important. And the facts say the Ex-Im Bank should be preserved.

Surely the Lord is present in this placeIt was only 5:30 when I awoke for

the day Friday Morning. But that was Mountain Time, and my internal clock was probably still on Central Time.

I was in Medora, ready to attend a founda-tion board meeting and an annual gathering called Roughrider Roundup.

A day in Medora simply has to begin with a morning walk, and it was a perfect, sunny western North Dakota day.

At 5:30 Medora is still a pretty sleepy little place, even in the busy tourist season. A stroll around town revealed only two other moving folks -- a man sweeping streets and a woman watering potted flower plants.

Inevitably I was drawn to Elaine’s Wind Garden, where I rested on my favorite bench, from where seven of those mesmer-izing wind sculptures were framed by that majestic bluff which is Medora’s hallmark.

The sculptures seemed to be struggling for enough early morning breath of air to propel their loveliness.

Forgive the small tear. This is my own personal cemetery.

In the next 48-hours it would be repetition of the so oft repeated pilgrimage that keeps bringing so many of us back, time and again, year after year.

The warmth, the beauty, the high energy musical in that incredible outdoor theatre, and the inspiration of an outdoor Sunday morning worship service with the sunny backdrop of those same gorgeous bluffs which make the North Dakota Badlands such a special tabernacle for those of us lucky enough to spend our lives here in the west.

I’ve been what you would call churched for my entire life. And yet honesty would compel me to admit I’ve never been able to boast that I have possessed that kind of certainty many of you may have enjoyed.

My life has been filled with more than my share of anxiety, doubts, and fears. I’ve longed for the kind of experience Paul had when he experienced that sudden conversion on the road to Damascus which instantly wiped away his doubts and fears

forever.I call my own personal the-

ology as a journey of hope more than one of unflagging confidence.

But it occurred to me as I sat in this majestic cathe-dral that one of the reasons I long to return again and again to the beauty of west-ern North Dakota is that at least for the few short hours I am in these Badlands I am without doubt that there most certainly is a God and I am in his presence.

As the words of a most popular hymn declare, “Surely the Lord is present in this place”!

So what is a Roughrider?It was an idea given birth a few short

years ago with 100 some Medora devo-tees who coughed up $250 each for a one year membership in what was to be the Roughrider Club.

The best thing you get in return is the opportunity to spend this one early summer weekend together with other like devotees from all over the state -- a few even from other states.

Today there are more than 900 members, and more than a third of them participate in this event called Roughrider Weekend. Call it a brotherhood, or a sisterhood, or a personhood.

Whatever you call it, it is unmatched food, fellowship, and fun, packed into a weekend that is more of an experience than an event.

Medora and it’s Teddy Roosevelt environs is now firing on all cylinders. This summer it’s famed outdoor musical is celebrating its 50th year.

Most important, there is a special spirit moving through this place. Come see for yourself.

What it means to be a Roughrider

Good morning, class. This is the first session of “Remedial Turn Signals 100” for which no college credit will be given but an em-

bossed certificate will be awarded upon completion of the practicum.

Now I noticed that North Dakota AARP has been holding driver education sessions around the state to which I say: better late than never. (That shouldn’t be said by firemen, however. It will just aggravate a homeowner who just ceased being a home-owner because of tardiness.)

To get an appreciation for the importance of technological improvements such as turn signals, we should look at problems that drove the improvement of automo-biles through the years.

The first automobiles did not have fend-ers so people were arriving at fancy parties with streaks of mud down their backs. This was uncouth so fenders were added to encourage a continuation of fancy parties.

The headlight came next for a couple of reasons.

North Dakota was an open range state. That meant ani-mals paid no attention to traffic signs and those Holsteins were hard to see at dusk.

It was a problem but nothing happened until the gover-nor’s blue ribbon ox got hit in 1896. Headlight legislation appeared in 1897. (Prompt legislation depends on whose ox is being gored.)

Another reason for headlights was Scriptural. The Bible says that man loves the dark where sin can prevail. It was hard to find those dark places without headlights.

Turn signals first appeared in 1940 because of the may-hem caused by arm signals. The straight arm for the left hand turn was clipping the heads of bicyclists and pedestri-ans. In busy traffic, arms and heads were in jeopardy.

Besides, many people didn’t understand the arm signs and just waved back. Others prized their limbs too much to stick them out in traffic. Losing an arm was very instruc-tive.

The core principle of this lesson on turn signals is simple: turn signals are a civic responsibility, primarily to fore-warn other motorists of intentions.

To be a good citizen, you must use them or you will be compelled to pass the new civics exam with the school kids and immigrants.

The first step is to locate the turn signal mechanism. If you look past the steering wheel, you will notice a lever on the left side of the steering column. It is not there for hang-ing electronic devices. That lever is called the turn signal because it has something to do with turning.

This lever goes up and down. The “up” position will activate a flashing light that will appear simultaneously on your instrument panel and on the right side of the vehicle. That tells the drivers around you that everyone on the right had better have insurance.

The same procedure applies to the left side.Now that doesn’t seem so complicated, does it? However,

for many drivers it seems to be.Some are already over their heads just holding the steer-

ing wheel. I’m sure AARP saw a few of those. Others can’t make up their minds, something that is critical for using turn signals.

Indecision is a real problem for drivers. Take the popu-larity of extended cab pickups with short boxes. They are bought by people who don’t know whether they should get a pickup or a sedan so they buy something that is both and neither.

Turn signals require persons of decision. So be a civic-minded decision-maker. Help your fellow beings get through life by using turn signals. They will bless you for it, what-ever that’s worth.

If you pass the quiz on turn signals, you can move up to the next lesson: “Parking between Yellow Lines 102.”

WORLD STOCKS SLIP AS GREEK DEBT TALKS FALTER World stocks sank Monday as Greece inched closer to de-

fault after weekend talks with international creditors over freeing up the rest of its bailout funds went nowhere. Chi-nese shares led declines in Asia after regulators tightened up on lending by brokerages to investors. European stocks traded lower, with France’s CAC 40 shedding 1.6 percent to 4,824.63. Germany’s DAX dropped 1.8 percent to 10,994.49.

Dear Annie: In no un-certain terms, my son and his second wife have told me that it is wrong to be in contact with my son’s ex-wife. They’ve said my ex-daughter-in-law should not be invited to my home or to family functions, and that including her shows a total lack of support for my son.

I am not close to my ex-daughter-in-law, although I hold no animosity toward her. But, Annie, I’ve known her for 30 years, and she is the mother of my grandchil-dren. Shutting her out does not seem reasonable, nor is it a good example for my grandchildren.

I see my son and his cur-rent wife very rarely.

They do not invite me to their home. They do not bother with my other chil-dren and have a limited in-terest in family gatherings. I am not part of their lives. They say it’s because I still see the ex, but even when I don’t include her, they still don’t come around. My son refuses to talk about any of this, and his wife seems only too happy to attack me.

What is the best way to handle this situation? —

Danged if I Do and Danged if I Don’t

Dear Danged :Of course it is wrong for your son and his wife to tell you who you can and cannot con-tact, but that won’t change

their response. We don’t recommend inviting your ex-daughter-in-law to any function where your son or his wife might be present.

That is simply asking for trouble and will be interpreted as a deliber-ate slap in the face. We suggest less blatant ways to stay in touch with your ex-daughter-in-law, such as e-mail and phone calls. Vis-its should be saved for those occasions involving the grandchildren where your presence together would be expected.

Dear Annie: I want to respond to “Heartbroken in Canada,” whose children ig-nored her on Mother’s Day.

That was my eighth Mother’s Day after the sud-den, tragic death of my only child at age 14. Every breath I take is a struggle without her. How does one celebrate Mother’s Day after the death of a child? Gratitude. I am grateful for having the opportunity to be a mom, even for only 14 years. If your children are alive and breathing, celebrate. Until you have suffered a mother’s worst nightmare, be grateful. You may some-day become a grandmother. I lost that gift when my only child died. — An Angel’s Mom

Dear Mom: Our deepest condolences on the loss of your daughter. Thank you for reminding our readers to appreciate the blessings they have.

Aim to achieve. Venture into territory that will add to your knowledge and help you hone your skills. Stay on track regardless of what oth-ers do or say. It’s up to you to do what it takes to reach your set destination and bask in sweet success.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You won’t know which way to turn. Personal changes will have to be made. It’s time to slow down and take a long, hard look at your options be-fore you make a move.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will gain satisfaction from helping others, but you risk burning out if you don’t take some personal time as well. Don’t give in to pres-sure tactics.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Love is in the air. A change of direction is imminent,

and your self-confident at-titude will be a bonus when it comes to making profes-sional changes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you pay attention to small details, you will avoid hav-ing to do extra work later on. Once you take care of your responsibilities, you will have time for play. Don’t get involved in gossip.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Everything will go your way and you will get the cooperation you need to pur-sue an important project. If you display leadership, you will quickly gain followers. Romance will improve your personal life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Honesty is the best policy. If you try to deceive someone, you will face opposition and your reputation will suffer. Do whatever it takes to main-tain the status quo.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Professional changes are evident and joint ventures look promising. You will receive a useful tip regarding a financial invest-ment. Love and romance will lead to happiness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Devote some time to

your career pursuits. Get out-doors with family or friends and explore local areas of in-terest. The togetherness will be good for you and will help clear your mind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t make a move until you have done your research. You are only getting half the information you need to make a decision. Someone will try to take credit for your work.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You will misinterpret kind-ness for weakness. Consider the long-term repercussions of any contracts or agree-ments before signing them. Someone from your past will come back into your life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Carefully scrutinize any deals, purchases or commit-ments that are offered to you. An obscure detail could be costly if it is overlooked. Mix-ing business and pleasure will lead to regret.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will be asked to assist someone who helped you in the past. It may be difficult, but your grace and compas-sion will be appreciated. Enter new projects with an open mind.

Will Rogers said, “Get some-one else to blow your horn, and the sound will carry twice as far.”

In bridge, it is impossible to win a trick twice, but some-times a card could take a trick in more than one way. Then, it is usually important to capture the right trick -- as in this deal.

Cover the West and South hands. East is defending against four hearts. West leads the diamond ace. How should East plan the defense?

In the old days, North would have responded two no-trump, showing a balanced hand with 13-15 points and fewer than four hearts. Now, though, most pairs use the Jacoby Two No-trump response, indicating game-going values with four-card heart support. Some pairs would respond three no-trump, but it is better to restrict that to 3-3-4-3 or 3-3-3-4 distribution, offering the opener a choice of games. Also, note South’s three-club raise. With two low spades, that is a much better rebid than two no-trump.

An East who plays on auto-pilot would drop the diamond eight at trick one, starting a high-low with his doubleton. West would then cash his dia-mond king and give his partner a diamond ruff. But that would be the end of the defense. South would draw trumps and dis-card his spade loser on either dummy’s diamond queen or the fourth club.

East has a guaranteed trump trick -- he does not need the ruff. At trick one, he should drop his diamond deuce. Then, if West immediately shifts to a spade (or after cashing the dia-mond king), the contract will be defeated.

TRUWEALTH FINANCIAL BASEBALL INVITATIONAL

Williston wins title

MARK JONES | WILLISTON HERALD

Williston’s Bailey Zaste gets the safe call from umpire Kelly Larson as he steals second base in the 30th annual TruWealth Financial Baseball Invitational championship game Sunday at Aafedt Stadium. Zaste went 11-for-16 in the tournament to earn MVP honors.

Keybirds beat Saskatoon, 11-3; Bailey Zaste is named MVPBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — Offensive-ly, the Williston Keybirds are clicking on all cylinders right now.

The Keybirds scored 55 runs in five games this weekend to win the 30th annual TruWealth Financial Baseball Invitational at Aafedt Stadium.

The week-end was capped off with an 11-3 win over the Saskatoon Giants in Sunday evening’s championship game.

With the victory, the Key-birds win their own tourna-ment for the first time since 2012.

“It feels really good,” said Williston coach Shawn Egge. “Since we are the host team.”

The Keybirds had played in the fifth-place game in the 2013 and 2014 tournament.

However, Williston scored at least 10 runs in four tour-nament games to help punch its ticket to this year’s tour-nament title game.

The Keybird offense was led by Bailey Zaste, who fin-ished the weekend 11-for-16.

Zaste was named the tournament MVP, and cur-rently has a streak of seven straight hits. His last two at-bat appearances in Sun-day’s title game resulted in a hit-by-pitch and a walk.

Zaste went 5-for-5 in Satur-day night’s 13-6 win over the Regina Prospects.

Buxton scores winning run in debut run as Twins beat RangersARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Byron

Buxton sat in the dugout about an hour before making his major league debut and identified speed as his greatest baseball attribute.

He quickly got to show it off, too.Despite going 0 for 4, Buxton

streaked home with the go-ahead run in the ninth inning and the Min-nesota Twins beat the Texas Rangers 4-3 Sunday and ended a five-game losing streak.

“It’s a day I’ll cherish forever,” Bux-ton said, “especially making my debut and getting the winning run across.”

Regarded by many as the top pros-

pect in baseball, the 21-year-old Bux-ton joined the Twins from Double-A. He batted ninth and played center, filling out a depleted Minnesota outfield.

Eduardo Escobar opened the Twins ninth with a double. Buxton, picked No. 2 in the 2012 draft, tried to sacrifice but bunted back to Shawn Tolleson (1-1), who threw out Escobar at third base.

Buxton said he hadn’t sacrificed in a while — his last one came in 2013 in the Class A Midwest League.

With two outs, Eddie Rosario doubled to center and Buxton scored without a play.

Twins manager Paul Molitor said the threat of Buxton steal-ing second — he had 20 in 59 games this season for Double-A Chattanooga — could have contributed to Rosario’s success against Tolleson.

“Sometimes, that can lead to a mistake,” Molitor said.

Buxton had scored a Southern League-high 44 runs when he was called up this weekend.

“He’s got a beautiful stride. He runs like not too many people we’ve seen in this game,” Molitor said.

The Twins were missing outfield-ers Torii Hunter, who was serving his suspension for a uniform-tossing tirade, and injured Aaron Hicks.

Casey Fien (2-2) pitched two scoreless innings and Glen Per-kins pitched a perfect ninth for his American League-leading 22nd save as the Twins snapped a five-game losing streak.

Tolleson had been 8 for 8 in save situations since becoming the Rang-ers’ closer in mid-May.

MARK JONES | WILLISTON HERALD

Williston Keybirds gather for a team photo following Sunday’s 11-3 win over the Saskatoon Giants in the 30th annual TruWealth Financial Baseball Invitational title game at Aafedt Stadium.

“He was swinging a tennis racket up there,” Egge said of Zaste.

Zaste scored eight runs, and finished with 6 RBIs, a triple and a double.

“I haven’t seen a player I coach swing it like that,” Egge said. “But I knew he was capable of it.”

The Keybirds also got plenty of other help at the plate in Sunday’s win.

Bradey Miller finished 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored. Caleb Owens finished 3-for-4 with three RBIs, and Noah Haa-genson finished 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run scored.

Haagenson’s two-run double ignited a eight-run second inning by the Key-

birds, and were never threat-ened after that.

“I knew we would be able to swing it,” Egge said. “Now I hope it carries over to the conference games.”

Boston Horob pitched

to the first four innings to earn the win.

Williston (8-3) has now won seven straight games, dating back to Wednesday’s twin bill sweep of Minot. The Keybirds will now head out onto the road for the first time this season.

Williston will play at Dick-inson on Wednesday, but will host Mandan on Thursday.

“The kids are playing re-ally, really well,” Egge said. “The kids are understanding their roles.”

Regina Prospects’ Chase Nistor was named the Of-fensive Player of the tour-nament, while Saskatoon’s Michael Trembly was named the Defenivse Player of the tournament.

Warriors top Cavs, take 3-2 lead in NBA finals

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Golden State War-riors are a win away from ending one long champion-ship drought and extending another.

Stephen Curry made seven 3-pointers and scored 37 points, and the Warriors withstood another brilliant performance from LeBron James to outlast the Cleve-land Cavaliers 104-91 on Sunday night for a 3-2 lead in the NBA Finals.

With a sellout crowd rock-ing and roaring in their golden-yellow shirts, the newly minted MVP and his teammates took control of the game — and possibly the series — in the final min-utes. Curry connected inside and out — sometimes way out — to help the Warriors pull away, and James and the Cavs had no way to counter.

The Warriors will try to win their first title since 1975 on Tuesday night in Cleve-land, which hasn’t won a major sports championship in 51 years. Game 7, if neces-sary, would be in Oakland on Friday night.

James carried Cleveland as far as he could. The four-time MVP had 40 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, slowing down the pace the way only he can.

James made 15 of 34 shots in 44 minutes.

There were 20 lead chang-es and 10 ties in a game that featured nearly as many bruises as baskets — but few big men — and the league’s two biggest attractions trad-ing thrilling scores.

James made a 34-footer with the shot clock about to expire midway through the fourth, and Curry an-swered with a step-back 3-pointer. Klay Thompson, who scored 12 points, followed with an-other from deep shot for the Warriors.

Andre Iguodala later hit a 3 and then grabbed a rebound, tossing in a left-handed put back while getting fouled by Tristan Thompson. Iguodala strut-ted back to midcourt, staring at the announced crowd of 19,596 — just about all of them on their feet through the fourth — before missing the free throw. Curry added a cutting layup, then lost Matthew Dellavedova off the dribble and stepped back for a 3 that gave Golden State a 96-86 lead with 2:44 left.

James hit a 3-pointer, and the Cavs began fouling Iguo-dala — a sub-par free throw shooter — to try and extend possessions. But Curry never let the game get out of his hands, connecting on anoth-er 3-pointer with 1:12 left that had him pounding his chest and pointing to the sky.

The game followed a famil-iar formula.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr stuck with the small-ball lineup he used to win Game 4, starting swingman Andre Iguodala over center Andrew Bogut. Cavs coach David Blatt replaced 7-footer Timofey Mozgov with guard J.R. Smith.

TAX COMMISSIONER RELEASED UPDATE ON 2015 REDUCTIONS

Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger released the updated North Dakota income tax withholding rates and instructions booklet for employers today. The updated estimated tax forms for individuals, estates and trusts were also released. The informa-tion reflects the reduction in income tax rates passed by the 2015 Legislature and signed into law by Governor Dalrymple. Senate Bill 2349 provides $108 million in additional income tax relief through an across-the-board tax rate cut of 10 percent for individuals and 5 percent for corporations. The changes in rates, including individual income tax withhold-ing tables that employers utilize, may be found on the Office of State Tax Com-missioner’s website – www.nd.gov/tax Employers are not required to adjust the state withholding for paychecks issued prior to the release of the updated information. However, Rauschenberger encourages em-ployers use the revised withholding tables

going forward for the remainder of 2015. Individuals, estates and trusts that are required to pay North Da-kota estimated income tax are also affected by the rate changes. The revised state estimated tax forms are also available on the Office of State Tax Commissioner’s website.

FSA COMMITTEE NOMINATIONS BEGIN

The U.S. Department of Agriculture today announced that the nomination period for local Farm Service Agency (FSA) county committees begins on Monday the 15th.

To be eligible to serve on a FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in an agency administered program, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the local administrative area where they are nominated.

Farmers and ranchers may nominate themselves or others. Organizations representing minorities and women also may nominate candidates. To become a candidate, an eligible individual must sign an FSA-669A nomination form. The form and other information about FSA county committee elections are available at www.fsa.usda.gov/elections. Nomination forms for the 2015 election must be postmarked or received in the local USDA Service Center by close of business on Aug. 3, 2015.

FSA will mail election ballots to eligible voters beginning Nov. 9. Ballots will be due back to the local county office either via mail or in person by Dec. 7. Newly elected committee members and alternates will take office on Jan. 1, 2016.

While FSA county committees do not approve or deny farm ownership or operat-ing loans, they make decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan

programs and other agricultural issues. Members serve three-year terms. Nation-wide, there are about 7,800 farmers and ranchers serving on FSA county committees.

NORTH DAKOTA ROAD SAFETY WEEKGovernor Jack Dalrymple signed a proc-

lamation on Thursday declaring the June 14-20 as “North Dakota Share the Road Safety Week.” During the week the state encourages safe driving practices among all road users and reminds motorists, motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians that together they must share the road.

Bicyclists and motorists both have responsibilities when it comes to sharing the road. Bicycle/motor vehicle crashes are mostly due to the disregard for basic traffic laws or inattentive behavior by both motor-ists and bicyclists.

Motorists can safely share the road with bicycles by following a few tips:

·Obey traffic laws so you can be predict-able to others

·Allow at least three feet when passing a bicyclist. This may mean waiting and being patient to pass until it is safe to do so.

·Show common courtesy and respect on the road.

Bicyclists should follow these tips when riding:

·Obey traffic signs and signals. Bicycles must follow the rules of the road like any other vehicle.

·Wear a helmet.·Never ride against traffic. Motorists

aren’t looking for bicyclists riding on the wrong side of the road.

·Follow lane markings and use hand signals.

·Use a light at night. The law requires a white headlight and a rear reflector or taillight at night.

In addition to pedestrians and bicyclists, motorists should be aware of motorcyclists. Motorcycles also have the same rights as others on the road, only they are harder to see.

Local News in Brief

Around the stateMINOT’S TRINITY HEALTH BECOMING PART OF BILLINGS CLINIC REGIONALCARE

MINOT, N.D. -- Trinity Health in Minot, N.D., announced on Wednesday that it intends to become part of Billings Clinic Re-gionalCare, a decision that will help bring about a new medical campus.

A news release from Trinity said the hos-pital’s board of directors has signed a letter of intent to join Billings Clinic’s Regional-Care network.

Jim Duncan, president of the Billings Clinic Foundation, said both parties will take 90 days to learn more about each other’s operations before finalizing the partnership.

While the agreement’s terms weren’t dis-closed, the deal is expected to be finalized by the end of the year, and Trinity will keep its

autonomy and maintain its staff members.Dr. Nicholas Wolter, Billings Clinic CEO,

said Trinity stands out because it employs all of its physicians, is also a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, sits in a good market and uses similar payment systems, along with its quality of care.

“The synergies on this one look pretty good,” he said.

Billings Clinic serves much of south central and eastern Montana, while Trinity serves western North Dakota.

“We’re not that close geographically, but our service areas kind of touch each other,” Duncan said.

BIRD FLU SENDS EGG PRICES FLYINGFARGO--The owner of a bakery and cafe

in Fargo noticed recently that the price of

an egg doubled over the course of a month.“I’m not going to get too worked up,”

said Nichole’s Fine Pastry owner Nichole Hensen, “but I’m gonna keep my finger on it.”

Hensen is one of many who are expe-riencing the consequence of this year’s devastating bird flu outbreak. In the past six months, more than 47 million chickens and turkeys are dead or are set to be killed as a result of the flu, which mostly affected hens in Iowa.

In a report issued Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture lowered its expectations for egg production for 2015 and 2016, citing the effect of HPAI, the highly pathogenic avian influenza.

The USDA expects the country will pro-duce 129 million dozen fewer eggs in the

fourth quarter of this year compared to the same period last year.

The average price of a dozen eggs in 2014 was $1.42. In each quarter this year, the USDA expects that number to be higher.

“I don’t think it’s ever been as high as they are right now,” a Casselton grocery owner said of egg prices.

Fred Wangler, the owner of Wangler Foods, said he is not concerned with the recent rise because egg prices are known to fluctuate.

“I really don’t see where it’s really outra-geous,” he said. “Eggs always go up and down.”

The USDA expects the average price of a dozen eggs to be between $1.56 and $1.64 in the year’s third quarter, up from $1.29 in the same period last year.

04MonDak $avings GuideWilliston Edition

Announcing the MonDak $avings GuideEarlier this year we set a goal for ourselves to develop a publication that reached the largest audience in our area at the lowest cost for our advertisers. We knew if we combined the biggest and best distribution with the lowest cost we had the beginning of something great.

Another goal we set for ourselves was to provide excellent advertising creative and support. We enlisted the help of our professional graphic artist team that assists us in developing advertising. Our goal is to create advertising messages that catch the reader’s eye and strongly encourages a response. After All, the outcome of any advertising campaign must end with more money in cash register and happy customers.

This tabloid-sized publication will be direct mailed to approximately 13,000 households in the Williston area each week. We will also rack deliver another 7000 for a total distribution of 20,000 each week. That is a readership of well-over 40,000.

Great reach, superior market penetration, strong creative…but there is more. This product is priced much lower than anything we have seen in the market with similar distribution. We be-lieve that is a combination that is good for every business, every consumer and us.

We are able to do all this at a low cost because we produce the MonDak $avings Guide right here in Williston. That provides jobs and income that goes right back into our community.
