I’m not sure what happened, but I came to the office and found that five months have somehow

skirred through the calendar. How-ever June 1 gives organizations and individuals a chance to restart fresh in case things haven’t gone as planned for 2015.

In some ways the year so far has been a smashing success. In other ar-eas, we need to hit ‘restart’ and refocus our energies a bit to hit the summer with momentum.

Our Chamber has made some incredible strides the past 12 months. We’ve hit high water marks for activ-ity, attendance and momentum; the Annual2015 Membership web badge Banquet in January; our ‘Bus to Bismarck’ Lobby Day in February; the ShamRockin’ the Bakken Taste of Wil-liston event in March; and the Level UP 2015 Business Conference in May were smash hits. Even our ‘normal’

Business After Hours events seemed to have taken on a flavor of energy, networking and even some fun. The theme for the year “Raising the Bar” has been our mantra, and we’ve lived up to that quite nicely. In most areas.

I would like to reboot our efforts concerning membership numbers, dues investment totals and member touches.

It seems we’ve become extremely busy, with marginal results. There’s a difference between being busy and being productive. Let’s hit the restart button on that.

Our online presence is nearly im-perceptible. That was one of the first ‘to-dos’ I had last year, and it’s still

not acceptable. Let’s restart on that as well.

But while I can nitpick, I also am aware of how far we’ve come in just 15 months.

It’s sort of like a team that made the playoffs for the first time in a while, but lost in the first round. We’ll get there…

The title of this post wasn’t meant to be a downer, it was meant as a sort of a wake up call. That we’re still operat-ing, but a bit sluggish and stuck once in a while. So by hitting Ctl-Alt-Del we save all the progress we’ve made so far in 2015, but clean out the bugs and get a fresh start.

And the personal resolutions from January are also getting a fresh reboot today. We’ll see how that goes.

ST. PAUL — The Min-nesota Public Utilities Commission has approved a certificate of need for the proposed Sandpiper pipe-line route through northern Minnesota as it goes from North Dakota's Bakken oil fields to Superior, Wiscon-sin.

While the PUC agreed 5-0 Friday that the $2.6 billion, 610-mile pipeline - about 300 miles across Minnesota - is necessary, they didn't foreclose the possibility of more changes on its pro-posed path, the Associated Press reported. The PUC said it still might reroute Enbridge's proposed route away from environmentally sensitive lakes, streams and wetlands in northern Min-nesota.

Enbridge Energy will still have to go through a lengthy review of its proposed route and a proposed alternative.Enbridge says it would like to have it operating in 2017.The proposed route goes from the oil field near Tioga, N.D., near Williston, to Superior, Wis., where ocean-going vessels can dock just below Duluth on Lake Superior.

In North Dakota it follows fairly closely to U.S. High-way 2.The Minnesota por-tion would go 75 miles from Grand Forks, N.D., east to the main Enbridge junction at Clearbrook, Minn., with 24-inch pipe with a capacity of 225,000 barrels per day.Then for a 225-mile leg, it jogs south to Park Rapids, Minn. - which is on a line east of Fargo - and then east to Superior with a 30-inch pipeline with a capacity of 375,000 barrels per day, ac-cording to Enbridge.

FARGO — When a robber walked into the Howard Johnson Inn on Thursday afternoon and showed the clerk a handgun, court records say she blurted out, "Are you serious?"

Apparently, he was -- because the man opened fire, hitting a nearby wall. Minutes later, the situation turned even more serious, as a Fargo officer shot the suspect in an exchange of gunfire police say was prompted by the suspect shooting first.

On Friday, authorities identified the suspect as Eric Lee Webb, 30, who was charged in Cass County District Court with Class A felony robbery and being a felon in possession of a fire-arm, a Class C felony.

Webb has an extensive criminal history in Iowa including assault, domestic assault, robbery and third-degree burglary convic-tions, according to online court records.

The native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was shot at twice by Fargo Officer Matt Niemeyer after running from the motel with a bag

stuffed with cash, interim Police Chief David Todd said Friday.

Webb first fired at two officers who caught up to him near the former Sahr's Sudden Service at Sixth Avenue North and Fourth Street near the Howard Johnson's, with Niemeyer returning fire and hitting Webb, Todd said.

In a news conference on Thursday, Todd had said he wasn't sure who fired first. The police chief didn't say Friday whether Webb was hit by one or both of the rounds fired by Niemeyer.

"It was a very dangerous, life-threatening situation for our officers," Todd said.

Webb remained hospi-talized Friday at Sanford Medical Center with a gunshot wound.

His girlfriend, Samantha Flick, declined to comment on his condition. About midnight Thursday, she posted on Webb's Facebook page in an attempt to con-tact his mother.

"He is hurt BAD!" she wrote.The shooting by Nie-

meyer, a Fargo officer for seven years, is being investigated by the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal

Investigation. While that investigation is pending, Niemeyer has been placed on administrative leave.

"These reviews are a high priority for our office, and we take the responsibility seriously," said Liz Brocker, spokeswoman for the North Dakota Attorney General's Office, which oversees the BCI, in an email. "We will conduct a thorough and complete review of the Use of Force as quickly as possible but obviously it will take some time to complete."

Cass County State's At-torney Birch Burdick said Webb will likely have a hearing next week, either in court or in the hospital. The Fargo Police Department is investigating the robbery.

According to Niemeyer's city personnel records, his supervisors have de-scribed him in employee evaluations as being "not a complainer" and "having a great attitude."

Niemeyer has also received two letters of rec-ognition, one for providing police honors for Lt. Jeff Skuza's funeral in March 2014, the other for his work during an armed standoff

in March 2011.However, Niemeyer

received a letter of repri-mand as a relatively new officer for accidentally discharging his AR-15 rifle at the scene of a June 2009 robbery.

Lt. Joel Vettel said in the 2009 incident, Niemeyer had taken his rifle from his squad and was helping to search for the robber when his sergeant told him to put it back and come into the store to help with the investigation there.

As he was holding his rifle pointed at the pave-ment, trying to make it safe to put back in the squad by removing the live round, the gun accidentally went off, Vettel said.

Since Niemeyer was hold-ing the gun down pointed in a safe direction, no one was hurt.

"It is something we don't take lightly," Vettel said.

Vettel said Niemeyer was following procedures in holding the gun pointed down that are designed to minimize the potential risk of harm to others. He was required to undergo reme-dial training as part of the incident.

BISMARCK — In a crowded courtroom, a South Central District Court judge sentenced former Bismarck High School Demonettes Booster Club treasurer Melissa Weltz to three years of suspended prison time for stealing nearly $18,000 from the dance team.

Prior to the sentencing, Judge Thomas Schneider heard from parents, club of-ficials and Demonettes mem-bers, who testified Friday on how Weltz' theft hurt them.

Bismarck High School senior Katie Ebach said that, when news of the embezzle-ment came out, students and teachers bullied and harassed her and other members of the dance team. She testified that one teacher, who was looking for some money, asked Ebach, "Don't you have an extra 10 grand I can use?"

At events where the De-monettes were performing, audience members would

chant, "Where's the money?""It was mortifying," Ebach

said Friday. "This community looks at us differently now."

Jennifer Holwegner, a Demonettes varsity coach, said she had to deal with the stress of not only competing at tournaments, but defend-ing and comforting "22 wor-ried and stressed girls."

Curt Benz, vice president of the Demonettes Booster Club, said that, when measured in

the team's "famous popcorn balls," Weltz stole the equiva-lent of 4,475 popcorn balls.

BISMARCK -- Despite a slowdown in oil activity in the western part of the state, government agencies are still seeing the need for rental assistance and temporary in-creases in salary to maintain current staff levels.

State officials said they’ve seen little change in the need for assisting staff. The Emergency Commis-sion meets next week to vote on whether to provide $3.86 million to be divided between seven agencies for the next year.

The dollars come from a section of Senate Bill 2015, the Office of Manage-ment and Budget bill that provides for a state agency energy development impact funding pool. A total of $2.4 million from state general fund dollars and $5.565 mil-lion from special funds and federal dollars were set aside for the funding pool.

Sheila Peterson, director of the Office of Manage-ment and Budget’s Fiscal Management Division, said this is the second biennium that the program has been in place. She said the funds would impact hundreds of employees living and work-ing in oil-impacted areas of the state.

“This request is for the first year of the biennium,” Peterson said. “We’re look-ing at about 700 employees.”

The dollars are to be used for housing rental assis-tance and temporary salary increases for state employ-ees. Eligible agencies with staff working in the western part of the state can apply to offset impacts of an ongoing

housing crunch and rising wages which have made it difficult to recruit and main-tain employees in the past few years.

Last biennium, the dollars amounted to $500 per month per employee.

“They’re going down to $400 or $200 just depending on where they’re seeing the need,” Peterson said.

The dollars are classified as one-time spending in the leg-islation. Lawmakers intend for the dollars to be targeted where the need is greatest rather than give the same amount to all employees.

“I think it has worked well,” Peterson said.

The largest request comes from the North Dakota De-partment of Transportation with more than $2.43 million requested. A media spokes-person with DOT declined to comment on the issue until after the Emergency Com-mission meeting.

The Department of Human Services had the second largest request totaling almost $1 million at $989,653.

“It certainly has been helpful in retaining existing staff,” Marcie Wuitschick, director of human resourc-es for the North Dakota Department of Human Ser-vices, said.

With about 295 DHS staff working in the Wil-liston, Minot and Dickinson regions, the department expects to give some form of payment to each of those employees, according to Wuitschick.

Wuitschick said the agency believes the demand is still strong, adding that “the data we have supports that.”

At one point, there were upward of 50 gender options available for users to choose on Facebook. Things must have changed, because when I checked this morn-ing, it was down to three: male, female and a write-in custom option.

I’ve hesitated to write about the Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner media event, because it’s such an intimate matter, even as Jenner ap-pears on the cover of Vanity Fair.

A friend told a story about being among fairly traditional church-going parents who were discussing what they might do if one of their own children expressed a desire to change from male to female or vice versa. “Accept him for who he is,” was the consen-sus. (Well, or her/she.) When did it become unheard of for a parent to guide a child? In a culture with no guideposts, how can anyone have any freedom?

While we think of freedom as doing whatever we want, we have lost the element of what we ought to do. What’s good for us and for society?

Pope Francis later this month will be issuing a letter -- an encyclical, in Church lingo -- on ecology. Much has already been written on it in advance of its release. The Church is already being applauded or condemned for its supposedly sudden enlightened progressivism. This, as is often the case, misses the full picture, the continuum.

We can point to where Pope Benedict talked about “Bear-ing in mind our common responsibility for creation ... the protection of land, water and air as gifts of the Creator.” And he went on to say: “When human ecology is respected within society, environmental ecology also benefits. Is it not true that an irresponsible use of creation begins precisely where God is marginalized or even denied? If the relation-ship between human creatures and the Creator is forgotten, matter is reduced to a selfish possession, man becomes the last word, and the purpose of human existence is reduced to a scramble for the maximum number of possessions pos-sible.”

And so too with Pope Francis. Far from alone among popes or religious leaders, he points to a whole picture of who we are and why we are, together in the image and likeness of our Creator. As he talks about the importance of stewardship of creation, he points to stewardship of hu-manity. The question posed by Caitlyn is: What is human? What does it mean to be human? What is good and respon-sible stewardship of life, liberty and happiness? And yes, what is happiness?

For some weeks now, Pope Francis has been talking about family life -- children and marriage. In early April, he said that marriage is inscribed in creation. “The Earth is filled with harmony and trust when the alliance between man and woman is lived properly,” he said. He warned that “we risk taking a step backwards” in seeking to erase the criti-cal nature of the sexual difference. He described “gender theory” as an “expression of frustration and resignation, which seeks to cancel out sexual difference because it no longer knows how to confront it.”

The Supreme Court may be on the verge of legalizing same-sex marriage across the country. That, much like Bruce/Caitlyn, is not a harbinger of the apocalypse. We’ve been wandering on the road to confusion and disunion for decades now. And we see its manifestations in the contin-ued erosion of marriage and the further degradation of the relationship between the sexes. We seem to “tolerate” everything but this amazing gift, this miracle of human complementarity.

If Google is to be believed, the British version of Face-book had more than 70 genders at some point. It doesn’t have to be so complicated. How about rediscovering the beauty and genius in the two given to us? The fruits of such gratitude might just be regenerative.

PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. -- If Hillary Clinton becomes the first woman president, she’ll have to do it with the votes of fel-low females, particularly younger white women.

When Clinton ran against Barack Obama for the Democratic nomina-tion in 2008, both were trying to make history: he as the first nonwhite president, she as the first nonmale. Only one could succeed, and a key reason behind Obama’s triumph was his appeal to younger voters, including women.

“The younger woman voter didn’t feel a sense of obligation to vote for the first ‘one of their own,’ but instead felt more passion for Obama’s message of hope and his vision for the future,” writes Democratic strategist Penny Lee in U.S. News and World Report.

How Clinton hopes to en-hance that “sense of obli-gation” was clearly visible during a recent campaign stop here in South Caro-lina. Speaking to a group of Democratic loyalists in Columbia, she emphasized that women still make 78 cents on the dollar com-pared to men. Her message was sharp: Gender still matters. Discrimination still exists. Pay attention to your own self-interest.

“I don’t think I’m letting you in on a secret when I say that too many women earn less than men on the job, and women of color even less,” she said. “All this lost money adds up.”

She ticked off a series of proposals to remedy that imbalance, such as a higher minimum wage for the lowest-paying jobs, which are often held by women. Noting that Re-publicans generally oppose those changes, she asked acidly: “What century are they living in?”

That’s a telling dig from a woman who is often derided by Repub-licans as a relic from the

last century. She cannot deny her age, or the fact that she occupied the White House in the 1990s.

So she is trying to use the persis-tent problem of gender inequal-

ity to look forward, not back. To inject energy and purpose into a campaign that risks feeling tepid and tired. To remind women that the historical mission she started seven years ago remains unfinished.

There’s nothing new about the gender gap in American politics, and Democratic dependence on female voters. Obama trailed Mitt Romney by 7 points among men but ran up an 11-point advantage with women.

Obama’s margin, how-ever, was built entirely on nonwhite votes. He lost white women to Romney by 14 points. And since Clinton cannot hope to duplicate the enthusiasm Obama generated in com-munities of color, reduc-ing that deficit with white females is critical to her chances.

The Wall Street Journal recently analyzed polling data from 2014 in attempt to identify the most impor-tant swing voters for 2016. Their conclusion: “The ability to win over single white women will be key” to the outcome.

GOP pollster Bill McIn-turff told the Journal that any Republican nominee who wants to win next year would have to build a lead among white women of at least 9 or 10 points. But in the latest Journal poll, Clinton actually runs ahead of leading Republi-can contenders with this vital demographic.

Clinton’s no shoe-

in, of course, and recent polls have also revealed some serious vulnerabili-ties. The Washington Post/ABC survey pegs her favor-able rating at 45 percent -- her lowest in seven years. Only 4 in 10 voters call her honest and trustworthy.

But women are 17 points more likely than men to express confidence in her reliability, and that’s partly because Clinton’s potential appeal to women goes beyond her public record. One of the most important qualities in any candidate, but also the hardest to define, is empa-thy: a candidate’s abil-ity to convince voters she understands “the problems of people like you.”

On that question, Clin-ton is holding her own at 49 percent in the ABC/Post poll. By contrast, only 35 percent feel Jeb Bush understands them.

She’s learned from her husband -- and relearned from Obama -- the impor-tance of talking about family, relating real-life experiences, and using sto-ries to connect with voters on a personal, nonpartisan level. That’s why the most important surrogate for her campaign won’t be her husband, Bill. It will be someone who cannot even talk: her new granddaugh-ter, Charlotte.

“Senator,” “secretary of state,” even “first lady” -- they’re all political titles. “Grandmother” is personal and universal. It’s a title that conveys both warmth and wisdom. And it tran-scends politics.

So yes, issues like income inequality could help convince younger white women to back Clinton. But urging them to elect Charlotte’s grandmother as the first female president might be an even more compelling message.

Jenner: Gender, love and respect

Clean, safe water should be the goal of everyone. The En-vironmental Protection Agency, however, has found a way to create division over the issue.

Last week the EPA issued new rules intended to protect small streams, tributaries, wetlands and the drinking water of 117 million Americans. The rules were quickly criti-cized by Republicans, farm groups and others. This is not a surprise as the rules have been under fire for some time. It also highlights the tendency of the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which was involved in establishing the rules, to ignore public comment and bull ahead.

The EPA argues that Supreme Court decisions in 2001 and 2006 left 60 percent of the nation's streams and millions of acres of wetlands without clear federal protection. The agency decided to resolve the issue. EPA says the rules will clarify which waters fall under the Clean Water Act. A trib-utary must show evidence of flowing water to be protected — such as a bank or a high-water mark. President Barack Obama said the rules will hold polluters accountable.

The agriculture industry has been concerned about the regulation of drainage ditches, but the EPA and corps said the only ditches that will be covered are those that look, act and function like tributaries and carry pollution down-stream. The agencies also said the rules have been rewrit-ten since last year so they are clearer, but not clear enough to calm the storm that greeted them.

North Dakota's congressional delegation has opposed the rules, warning that the agriculture industry fears a regula-tory nightmare. The House voted to block the regulations last month, and a Senate committee is planning to consider a similar bill this summer.

Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem says the state would consider joining a legal challenge to the rules and his office is reviewing the rules.

It's time for the EPA and corps to work with Congress on a proposal both sides can live with. Farmers fear that the federal government will try to regulate all the bodies of water in the prairie pothole region, burying landowners in an avalanche of paperwork.

The EPA and corps need to prove to critics the rules won't infringe on them. The agencies should be willing to listen and compromise.

Avis Solveig Johnson Bak-er, of Milford, MI (formerly of Grenora and Williston) died in her home, with fam-ily at her side, on Tuesday, April 14, 2015. She was 95 years old.

Avis was born on April 24, 1919 in Williston, North Dakota to Alfred and Lina Larson Johnson of Grenora, North Dakota. She was the sixth child of seven chil-dren. She attended Roosevelt School and Grenora High School, graduating in 1935.

Avis attended Minot State Business College, and then married Elzie D Baker on Oc-tober 5, 1940. Elzie and Avis first lived in Fargo, North Dakota, where he worked for United Auto Parts. After WW II, they lived in Wil-liston, North Dakota where Elzie became manager of United Auto Parts.

A woman of faith and strength of character, Avis was a person who gave to her family and the com-munity. We are grateful to her for inspiring the love of education and learning in life, to reach for our dreams; she will remain a wonderful role model for us all.

Active in the Williston community as a Campfire Girl’s leader, Sunday school teacher, and member of the Ladies Aide at the First Lutheran Church, she also enjoyed having her own Avon business while her children were growing up. She then attended more business courses at the Williston UND Campus, and worked as a bookkeeper for Keating's Furniture, Har-mon Park Clinic, and State Farm Insurance Agency. Avis and Elzie were involved in several community orga-nizations, such as the Elks Club, American Legion, and Lions Club.

She retired to Seaside, Oregon in 1976 to live near her sister Lydia and Jerry Sevde. Avis had a dream of being an English Literature

teacher, and, was an avid reader of books. She continued to

write po-etry through-out her life, focusing on special occasions

and daily events. Her poetry is captured in her booklet, “Solitude of Thoughts…Companion of Spirit”. She enjoyed bridge-club,

volunteering at the local hospital Ladies’ League and church. Her beautiful crocheted quilts are

treasured gifts to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Avis moved to Excelsior, MN to live near her family in 1996, and has lived with her son Dave and his wife Rose since 2008 in Milford, Michigan.

Avis is survived by her three children, Linda Baker and her husband Tom Trev-orrow of New Brighton, MN, Dave Baker and his wife Rose of Milford, MI, and Jan Baker of Santa Barbara, CA; her three grandchildren Kelley Weaver and her husband Jack Dyer of Ojai, CA; Justin Trevorrow and his wife Shan-non and their children Kinley and Lauren of Elk River, MN, Josh Trevorrow and his wife Kate, and their daughter Eliza of Minneapolis, MN.

All are welcome to attend a Memorial Service and Celebration of Avis' life at 10:00 A.M. on Saturday June 13 at First Lutheran Church, in Williston, with Pastoral Intern Wayne VanKauwen-bergh officiating.

Inurnment will follow in Scandia Evangelist Lu-theran Church in Grenora, where her parents helped organize and build the church in 1919. A Memorial stone will be placed near her family, and her ashes will be “put to the wind” on their homestead.

Someone in her family took her to Fortuna on Monday morning and came to get her on Friday. She stayed at the home of Mrs. Yerigan who had the telephone office where she worked for room and board.

Clara got acquainted with Wilmer through community activities. They took part in a play where Wilmer played the part of a woman and Clara was a maid. This was the beginning of their

relationship which lasted through 62 years of marriage. They were married May 9, 1943 and lived in Lincoln Valley town-

ship where they farmed and raised their family. She enjoyed dancing, bowling, curling, playing cards, reading, and needlec-raft. She and Wilmer took a trip to Norway in 1973.

INSECT REPELLENTS

Which insect repellents work best?• Products with DEET (OFF!, Cutter, etc) are some of the best for keeping mosquitoes and ticks

away. These products can have different concentrations of DEET. Higher concentrations don’t workbetter, but they do last longer. DEET 30% can last about six hours. DEET 10% can last two to threehours. A product with up to 30% DEET is safe for kids two months and older.

• Picaridin (Cutter Advanced, Natrapel, etc) works as well as DEET. Like DEET, products withhigher concentrations of picaridin last longer than products with lower concentrations. Choose aproduct with up to 20% picaridin for adults and kids two months and older.

• All-Natural choices Oil of lemon eucalyptus (Citrepel, Cutter Lemon Eucalyptus, etc) is a goodchoice if you want a plant-based insect repellent. Oil of lemon eucalyptus can last for up to sixhours. However, it hasn’t been proven safe for kids younger than three years. Products with soybeanoil (Bite Blocker, etc) can last for around four hours for mosquitoes and around two hours for ticks.Products with citronella oil (Natrapel Sun, etc) work for less time.

• Products that contain permethrin (Repel Permanone, etc) can be used with other insectrepellents for extra protection. Do not spray permethrin on the skin. Spray it on clothes and gear.Allow clothes to dry completely before wearing them.

Always read and closely follow the directions on the labels of insect repellents. Avoid productsthat have both sunscreen and insect repellent. Sunscreens should be applied more often and moreliberally than insect repellents. If you need both, use separate products. Put the sunscreen on first.

Tips for safe use of insect repellents:• Don’t use repellents under clothing, or on cuts, wounds, or irritated skin.• Don’t apply repellents to eyes or mouth. Apply lightly around ears.• Don’t spray repellents on the face. Spray on hands first, then apply to the face.• Don’t allow kids to handle repellents. Apply repellent to your own hands, then put it on the child.• Avoid heavy application of repellents. If a thin film doesn’t work, apply a bit more.• After returning indoors, wash treated skin with soap and water.• Never put permethrin on skin. Apply permethrin only to clothing, bed nets, or other fabrics

according to directions on the product label.• Don’t apply insect repellent to cats or dogs. Talk to your vet about options for pets.

Protecting yourself from insect bites is important. Insect bites areitchy and uncomfortable. Plus, insect bites can spread diseases suchas West Nile virus (mosquitoes) and Lyme disease (ticks).

FARGO — When Leanne Sucrow and her fiance start-ed shopping for engagement rings, she knew she wanted something different.

"My fiance and I are nonconventional and out-of-the-box thinkers. I knew I wanted something that would be unique to me," the 34-year-old Fargo woman says.

Sucrow, who got engaged in March, found what she was looking for on the other side of the world.

Her engagement ring, a raw diamond encased in silver with a hammered band, is a custom creation made by an Etsy artisan in Israel who specializes in raw stones and gems.

"I'm all about eco-friendly, not altering natural beauty (I love that this literally came from the ground as is, without being milled/al-tered) and supporting local artisans, even all the way in Israel," she says.

Sucrow is among a grow-ing number of women who are choosing (or encourag-ing their partners to choose) nontraditional over tradi-tional engagement rings.

Calette Frisinger, owner

of Classic Jewelers in Far-go, says her shop frequently gets special requests.

"We make a ring from scratch for somebody at least once a week," she says, adding that there were three last week.

Wimmer's Diamonds down-town also does a lot of custom work, says certified gemolo-gist appraiser Nancy Brenk.

Brenk says she's done a 3-carat heart-shaped diamond, a diamond shaped like a butterfly, heirloom stones in new settings, col-ored diamonds, morganite (a pale-pink stone) and lots of sapphires, but not all blue.

"When people think of a sapphire, they still think of it as a blue stone, even though they come in every color of

the rainbow," she says.Sapphires in engagement

rings, including Chatham pink sapphires, have been gaining interest at Classic, too.

"We sold a few unusual-colored sapphires for engagement rings this year, including pink, dusty blue and almost like an aqua," Frisinger says.

Though less common, black-and-white settings with black diamonds are an-other nontraditional option.

Dawn Thune's fiance knew she loved black and white, so he bought her a black diamond ring. "My fiance did it all on his own," the 30-year-old Fargo woman says. "I love black and white, and this is what he picked.

It's perfect."Amy Hashbarger's en-

gagement ring, a 1-karat heart-shaped diamond, was inspired by her mother's jewelry preferences.

"My mom passed away 10 years ago, and she loved hearts. She wore heart jewelry and decorated with hearts. My husband knew this detail and found me a heart-shaped diamond," says Hashbarger, who's also 30 and lives in Fargo.

Other shapes seen by Fris-inger and Brenk in their jew-elry stores include dolphins, roses and free-form styles.

Former West Fargo resi-dent Jessica Lambertz Witek has a diamond engagement ring that resembles a wood "knot" and a wedding band featuring a green sapphire "leaf." The 27-year-old woman had them made by an Etsy jeweler in Athens, Ga.

White gold still reigns supreme as the band and setting metal of choice, but Brenk, of Wimmer's, says rose and yellow gold have been showing up more in the industry.

"I think the trend that's coming is going back to the yellow, but it will probably take a while to reach this area," she says.

GRAND FORKS — Fans in attendance Friday night at the Alerus Center were treated to a history lesson--the history of one of the most successful bands in music history.

Billed as "History of the Eagles" after the band's

recently released documen-tary, the show started just as the band did -- with Don Henley and Glenn Frey alone, playing their acoustic guitars on stools and amps.

"We're going to give you an idea of what it was like in the summer of '71," Walsh said in between the night's first two songs: "Saturday Night" and "Train Leaves

Here This Morning."The first 12 songs of the

evening built an arc around the band's career through their early country-flavored songs, which included "Peaceful Easy Feeling," "Witchy Woman," "Already Gone" and the Eagles' first No. 1 hit, "Rest Of My Love."

Intermittent between songs in the first half of the show were images from the band's documentary as well as stories about the band's beginning. Frey, Henley and the band's two other current members -- Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit--also were joined by founding guitarist Bernie Leadon for a few of the songs in the first set.

While the show started slow, the first half of the concert ended with "One Of These Nights" and "Take It To The Limit," which got most of the crowd singing along.

Following a short inter-mission, the band launched into the second half of the show, which was much more rock-oriented.

BISMARCK — Valley Med Flight, an air ambulance service with its main base in Grand Forks, is seeking to block a new North Dakota law that it argues illegally regulates prices and will hurt air ambulance opera-tions.

The lawsuit, filed Thurs-day in U.S. District Court here, seeks an injunction to prevent the law from be-ing implemented. It is filed against the North Dakota Department of Health and Workforce Safety and Insur-ance, the state workers' compensation program.

The lawsuit argues that

the new state law violates a federal airline deregulation law prohibiting states from adopting laws or regulations that effectively regulate prices, routes or services of an air carrier.

Other states have been warned not to usurp federal regulation by the U.S. De-partment of Transportation, Jesse Riddle, a lawyer for Valley Air Med, said Friday.

"We think North Dakota has exceeded the bounds of the law," he said.

The law would effectively regulate prices, routes and services by imposing certain restrictions, accord-ing to the Valley Med Flight lawsuit.

The state would create a

primary call list of air am-bulance services including only operators that qualify as "participating providers" with certain health insur-ance carriers that together comprise 75 percent of the health insurance market. The call list would create an "artificial hierarchy" of air ambulance services, the lawsuit contends.

By requiring air ambu-lance operators to become a participating provider--and to accept insurance compa-nies' reimbursement rates in order to be on the pri-mary call list--the law would regulate air ambulance services' ability to charge market rates, the lawsuit argues.

First Lutheran Church, located at 916 Main, will be hosting a Piano Recital at 3 p.m. on June 28, presented by Conner Martin.

On this afternoon you will be able to enjoy selections such as Beethoven’s Sonata No. 8, Pathétique, Opus 13 Schubert’s Impromptu in A-flat Major, Opus 90, no. 4 Chopin’s Berceuse and Opus 57.

While these are way over my head, this is one concert you don’t want to miss.

Especially when we tell you this young man is only 14 years old and “plays like a dream.”

Plans call for a recep-tion to follow and you are invited to attend.

BAKKEN TV SHOWWilliston native Tom

Justin, now residing in Las Vegas, called our attention to an upcoming television series regarding life in the Bakken.

Plans call for a show entitled Oil, (Now changed to Blood & Oil) and will be aired on Sunday evenings this fall on the ABC net-work.

Don Johnson, who starred in Miami Vice many years ago, plays the lead as a “Bakken Tycoon.”

From the trailer, it appears to be an action-

packed show and folks will have to tune in to judge for themselves.

But at this point, fall is something we don’t want to dwell on.

Check back and we’ll bring you up to date when the time is right.

For now, it’s time to be thinking about summer days ahead.

POWER OF PENNYCongratulations are in

order for the good folks in Watford City on the ground-breaking of a major activi-ties center.

This goes to show the power of the penny, as that community followed the lead of Williston and opted for a one and one-half cent tax that in turn will fund this facility.

It even looks like James-town is getting in on the act.

Now this is a perfect time to get this done for the good folks of Williston.

This community is long overdue for a multi-purpose community/convention center that could serve so many activities including the likes of the Williston Sports & Recreation Show and the KUMV Farm & Ranch, to name a few.

For years folks here have had to make do and are be so limited, with no place to grow.

formations, he said, have helped reduce OPEC’s abil-ity to push the market as it did before America’s oil revolution.

Ness added that reduc-tions in costs have pro-ducers eyeing 2016 as the target year to invest and produce. Friday’s job num-bers point to that as well. An increase of 280,000 jobs in May puts more incomes in play and increases the demand for gas — and ulti-

mately oil — which won’t be immediately felt.

“The industry’s feeling is not much of a change this year,” he said. “It could be another year yet.”

Back in Williston, San-ford said overall job gains are part of the bigger

picture. Job Service posts 125 to 200 jobs a week and is not as “oil-dominant” as it once was. With 18 new restaurants online since last year and a surge of re-tail following, the city has become more sustainable and diversified.

Williston’s per capita personal income sits at $115,897, well above the state average of $53,182. Median household income in the city is $76,210, com-pared to $53,741 statewide — a glimpse of oil’s effect on the city’s economy.

“At some point, if the other industries didn’t come on, it’d be hard to maintain,” Sanford said.

tion, according to the latest annual report from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Watford City issued build-ing permits for 1,660 units in 2014, but only issued per-mits for 45 units this year, as of May, according to city records. Many residents still reside in temporary hous-ing, but permit figures show the number of single family homes has increased, from only 47 units in 2014 but already 31 units last month.

“The number of folks looking for housing isn’t as robust as it was five years ago. But when the prices go over $75, we’re going to be out of units again,” San-ford said. “We were behind the Eight-Ball, but we have

added hundreds of units and want to add 1,500 to 2,000 units every year. It’s a nearly impossible pace.”

Between 2010 and mid-2014, Williams County’s growth ranked No. 1 in the nation, with a 56.8 percent rate in housing units, according to the census bu-reau report. Williston issued building permits for 1,630 units in 2014, and officials estimated more than 2,000 units would come online by the end of the year.

“We have a tremendous amount of inventory here,” said Shawn Wenko, execu-tive director of Williston Economic Development. “I see competitiveness in the market where you have a few options out there as far

as what type of amenities you want in the multifamily sector.”

Some developers have de-creased rents, while drilling activity lulls, but prices are reflective of supply and de-mand and most have tended to “jump around,”agreed

Sanford and Wenko.“Meanwhile, it’s a great

opportunity for those who have waited,” Sanford said. “There’ll be some very for-tunate people to get into the housing at these rates.”

COMPETING WITH WALMARTIn Williston, the strain

stems in part from the struggle childcare centers face to pay employees competitive salaries with benefits.

“Unfortunately, they go to other fields,” Kristi Asend-orf, parent services man-ager for North Dakota Child Care Resources and Refer-ral, said. “There are many places that have rooms that they can’t use because they don’t have the staff.”

There are 24 licensed day care facilities ranging from small in-home to large centers in Williston, accord-ing to Kathleen Molland, a social worker at Williams County Social Services. “We’re actively working on licensing a few more, which is really good, but it is not enough,” she said. “People are having a very difficult time finding childcare, espe-cially childcare for infants.”

According to data collect-ed by Child Aware of North Dakota, the number of kids in Williams County age 2 and under — more than 1,100 — far outweighs the number of number of 3 to 5 year olds. But it’s harder to find care for very young children than it is for older ones. State teacher/child ratios require one caregiver for every four babies, one caregiver for every five toddlers up to age 2, and one caregiver for every seven 3-year-olds. Older age groups require less staff — licensed centers need only provide one caregiver for

every 20 6-to-12-year-olds. In other words, the young-

er the child, the more staff are required per classroom, posing a steep expense for facilities, along with the risk of high employee turnover.

Some facilities in Wil-liston deal with the risk by simply not accepting babies. “We only care for kids that are 3 or older,” Staci Ekblad, the owner of Ekblad Devel-opment Center, said.

She estimates that she takes nearly a dozen calls a day from parents looking for childcare for very young children, but her decision to limit the age groups she ac-cepts ultimately allows the center to provide better care for her students.

“We do not want to have turnover with our teach-ers. Obviously the children come to our facility for a large portion of their day,

and having turnover can cause turmoil with them.”

It’s a lesson learned from experience for Ekblad, a Williston native who opened her center eight years ago.

“We have chosen to keep our staff and our facility at low numbers, because before we did have many people who would come and work for a day or a month, and they would start to have poor attendance or

job performance because they can up and leave at any time and go to Walmart or McDonald’s,” she said.

‘A VICIOUS CYCLE’Outsized rents and build-

ing costs in Williston are adding to the problem by making it hard for new centers to open.

The cost of employees’ salaries, on top of paying rent for a facility or absorb-

ing the cost of a new build-ing, is in many cases simply too high to foresee making a profit without charging families exorbitant rates.

Ronica O’Dwyer, a devel-oper and mother of three in Williston, had plans to open a daycare in the city, but scrapped them when she calculated the costs that were involved. She cited the state’s mandatory child to teacher ratio as another obstacle standing in the way of more providers opening daycare centers.

“The wages that you have to pay in Williston are so much higher than the national average, you almost have to price yourself out of being affordable, it’s just a vicious cycle,” O’Dwyer said. “The state says the student to teacher ratio needs to stay low, but they don’t realize that’s what’s forcing us into home based daycare.”

Opting for unlicensed childcare may not necessar-ily be unsafe, but parents should be aware that providers without a license have not undergone health, background and safety checks, Molland said. They are also not subject to the drop-in inspections that the state mandates for licensed centers, and cannot legally care for more than six chil-dren at a time.

“What’s so important about being licensed is it shows the parents you’ve gone the extra mile,” Mol-land said.

DAY CARE CRUNCH: With babies the most challenging, some places won’t accept anyone younger than three FROM PAGE A1

BY RENÉE JEANWILLISTON HERALD

SIDNEY, Mont. — Sena-tors throughout the Mon-dak have had an earful from farmers and ranchers when it comes to the EPA's recently released Waters of the U.S. rule. There's likely to be a lot more heated discussion of the matter at the upcoming Montana Farm Bureau Conference, which begins Wednesday in Sidney at the Richland County Fairgrounds.

"The EPA did come out with their final version of the rule so our members will be discussing what all is in that final rule and whether there is anything we can do to stop the nega-tive impacts on farmers and ranchers throughout Montana," said Nicole Rols, eastern Montana regional manager for the Montana Farm Bureau.

The annual summer conference attracts grow-ers and producers from

throughout Montana and is the start of grassroots pol-icy for producers through-out the state. It will also include a wide range of informational sessions of interest to growers and producers in the Mondak region.

"We will have members coming in from all over the state to talk about dif-ferent things specific to the commodity they are representing on the com-mittee," Rols said. "These could be very varied, but the whole purpose is to get people together so they can start thinking about it in advance of policy develop-ment, which is in Septem-ber and November."

Last year's conference included a lot of discus-sion about the Montana Department of Livestock budget, which experienced a significant shortfall. Other key discussion items — likely to be revisited this year — include the water compact, which is still in

the process of acquiring congressional approval, and the continued possibil-ity of free-roaming bison.

"We leave it open to the members to bring their is-sues up," Rols said. "They'll all have an opportunity to talk about issues affecting their commodity."

The advisory committee meetings are Tuesday at the conference. Informa-tional sessions of general interest to growers and producers in the Mondak begin Wednesday. Rayola Dougher is the keynote speaker.

He is senior economic advisor for the Ameri-can Petroleum Institute and will look at turning present-day energy and economic challenges into future opportunities.

There will be a lunch-time panel for growers and producers to discuss how the energy boom has af-fected their farms, ranches and communities. And last but not least are all the

informational sessions on the latest and greatest in agricultural research and technology and speakers on advocacy and leader-ship development.

Wednesday night, the Montana Farm Bureau is having its Baron's Ball, a fundraiser that includes a little “step back into time” game for attendees to play.

Thursday activities include the Montana Farm

Bureau Foundation Golf Scramble, or alternately, tours of Safflower Technol-ogies, Rambur Charolais and the Westmoreland Coal Company.

"We're looking forward to holding our conference in the northeastern part of the state," said MFBF President Bob Hanson. "Our summer conference is a great time for our members to hear about

new concepts in ag technol-ogy while enjoying cama-raderie with other Farm Bureau members."

For information on attending the event, call 406-587-3153 or visit www.mfbf.org. The conference is headquartered at the Mi-crotel Inn, at 406-482-9011.

2015 Road Construction Has BegunHere is an update on the 18th Street and the Main Street Reconstruction projects in Williston

18th Street Project – Williston18th Street project relieves congestion in the City of Williston by providing an overpass for US Highway 2 traffi c and an underpass for local 18th Street traffi c in Williston.

This project provides motorists and pedestrians with a more functional crossing of US Highway 2 since the overpass reduces delays for approaching traffi c and creates a greater separation for local and regional traffi c. Pedestrian improvements include sidewalks, landscaping and lighting on either side of 18th Street as part of the underpass construction.

Last year, crews opened the US Highway 2 overpass to traffi c. Currently, lane closures on US Highway 2 have been required intermittently to allow crews to continue paving and pavement marking work. The 18th Street underpass is currently closed to allow crews to continue work. A detour is in place.

• Traffi c has been moved onto the new overpass on US 2• A section of Bison Drive is closed for continued work on 18th Street• Some parking for access to Wilkinson Field is available

Main Street Reconstruction – WillistonThe Main Street Reconstruction project began during last year’s construction season. Crews have resumed work on improvements, including replacement of storm drains, sewer, water, sidewalks, landscaping and signal lights.

Broadway is closed at the Main Street intersection in Williston to allow crews to work on the project. The Main Street closure will extend from north of 2nd Street to south of 4th Street and traffi c is detoured around the area. The road closure is expected to be in place through June.

It is essential to follow these basic tips when encountering roadway projects:

• Don’t Speed - Obey posted speed limits at all times, even when workers aren’t present. Pavement conditions may exist that require reduced speeds.

• Be Patient - Work zones aren’t present to inconvenience drivers, they’re an important part in maintaining and rebuilding our state’s infrastructure.

• Minimize Distractions - Don’t talk on your cell phone, change the radio stations, or do anything that takes your eyes off the road.

• Stay Alert - Dedicate your full attention to the roadway.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Mourning a loss that touched people from the streets of Delaware to the White House and beyond, President Barack Obama and Bill and Hill-ary Rodham Clinton joined Vice President Joe Biden in bidding farewell Saturday to his eldest son, Beau.

The former Delaware attorney general died last Saturday of brain cancer. He was 46.

An overflow crowd of 1,000 gathered for the funeral at St. Anthony of Padua Roman Catholic Church, where Obama was to deliver a eulogy. Leading political figures also were there, in-cluding the U.S. Senate ma-jority and minority leaders,

Attorney General Loretta Lynch and her predecessor, Eric Holder, and other Cabi-net officials.

Also paying their respects were mourners from across Delaware and beyond, who lined up hours in advance, drawn by their strong bonds to the Biden family.

"Joe Biden is Delaware, and his son is also Delaware to me," said Lisa Rial, 54, who grew up in Delaware but lives in Pennsylvania. "They're synonymous with Delaware."

In addition to Obama, Biden's two surviving chil-dren, Hunter and Ashley, were to speak, as was Gen. Ray Odierno, the former top U.S. commander in Iraq, where Beau Biden once served. Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin was to perform a solo. The White

House said Martin had heard through a family friend that Beau Biden was a Coldplay fan and volun-teered to attend.

Beau Biden's casket lay

in honor in the state Senate chamber on Thursday ahead of a public viewing Friday at St. Anthony.

The vice president, whose wife and baby daughter

were killed in a car crash four decades ago, developed a reputation over the years for possessing a deep ability to comfort those in grief. Often, he is called upon to

eulogize fellow American leaders.

In 2012, he spoke of his son's service in Iraq as he tried to comfort a group of grieving military families.

WILLISTON STATE COLLEGE

Men’s hoops program signs Division I transferJordan Dembley will suit up for the Tetons next seasonBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — The Wil-liston State College men’s basketball roster is taking shape for the upcoming season.

The latest piece to the puz-zle was announced Friday by coach Cory Fehringer.

Jordan Dembley, who was a point guard for Liberty University last sea-son, will transfer to Williston State and will take to the court this upcom-ing season for the Tetons.

“Jordan provides our team with several tangible and intangible features at a posi-tion we value,” Fehringer said. “We put a tremendous amount of personal respon-sibility on the point guard

spot because of the impact available on a nightly basis.”

Dembley is a na-tive of Minneapolis. He played basket-ball his first three years of high school at Academy of Holy Angels. He played his final season at Osseo High School.

Dembley was ranked the sixth best player to come out of Minnesota in 2014.

Several top NJCAA schools had shown interest in Demb-

ley before he decided to sign with Williston State.

“From our perspective, Jordan is capable of raising the level of play,” Fehringer said. “For those who sur-round him, while being tal-ented enough to make plays for himself.”

Fehringer says there isn’t much Dembley can’t do on a basketball court.

“He embraces the pass, knocks down shots,” he said. “Is a deceptive athlete, and his basketball IQ is phenom-enal.”

Big change for hockey this winterWe are entering the

early stages of summer, and I am

in the mood to talk some hockey.

You probably never thought that would hap-pen. While I am a hockey fan, typically at this time of year, my mind is onto other topics.

But this week news surfac-es that Williston State Col-lege plans to move its home hockey games to Conlin Arena inside the Raymond Family Community Center.

When I first heard this, I was blown away by the move.

But as I drove to Bismarck on Thursday, I had time to think about this. And the change makes sense in a lot of ways.

First of all, let’s be clear, the Agri-Sports Complex is a great setting for hockey, no matter the level of hockey.

But on a cold, wintery night in De-cember and January (and you all know the kind of nights of which I am speak-ing of), wouldn’t it be nicer to just drive to Conlin Arena at the Raymond Center?

As one who dislikes driv-ing in winter conditions, I love having the action much closer to the Herald office.

I also like that there will be set times for the games.

At the Agri, with conflicts with high school and little league hockey, there is no certainty as to what time the game will start.

Over the years, I have found myself guilty of that. And I have been late to a few gmes because I assumed the wrong game time.

Needless to say, it’s quite a change, but a good change.

I just wonder how the bleachers will compare at Conlin Arena compared to the Agri.

Over the years, the stands have been packed at the Agri for Williston State games. It will be great if the Tetons can build on the fan base that turned out at the Agri.

The upcoming season will be fun to observe.ON ANOTHER NOTE

In February 2014, my wife and I welcomed a baby daughter into our home with an enlarged heart. We were informed Thursday, our daughter is perfectly normal. I’m so happy, I just had to share that.

WILLISTON — While her mind had been made up for some time about what she planned to do after high school, Trin-ity Chris-tian School graduate Alycia McGlothlin made it offi-cial Friday.

McGloth-lin signed a National Letter of Intent to play volleyball this fall at Williston State College.

The mult-sport athlete had considered going to Dick-inson State University to compete in track and field.

However, she decided that she would have more fun with volleyball, and ultimately decided to stay close to home.

“Honestly, I wasn’t sure what I was going to do,” McGlothlin said. “And really

didn’t think about Williston State. Then (last fall) the Teton volleyball coach ap-proached me about joining the Tetons and playing.”

From that moment on Mc-Glothlin saw Williston State as too good an opportunity to pass up.

“I then saw Williston State as an opportunity to con-tinue with the game I love,” she said.

Last season, the Lady Tetons finished 21-16 and lost to North Dakota State Col-lege of Science in the Region XIII tournament title match.

In April, the Lady Tetons announced the signings of Sarah Murdock and Mon-tana Schneider.

McGlothlin plans to com-mit all of herself to Willis-ton State.

“My goals for the first year,” she said. “Is to give 100 percent in both my academics and on the court with volleyball.”

BY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — A busy summer of baseball official-ly kicks off today.

The Williston Keybirds will open the American Legion Class AA 2015 season today against Jamestown at Aafedt Stadium.

“We should be pretty good,” said Williston Key-birds coach Shawn Egge. “I’ve liked what I have seen from the kids. They want to compete.”

Much like the spring season, the Williston team is once again picked last in the preseason polls.

Egge, who played under coaches such as Brad Westphal and Chip Devlin, says not to read too much into the preseason rankings.

“That’s typical,” he said. “We’re usually not ranked high. They base it off last year and spring.”

While Williston ultimately finished sixth in the West Re-gion during the high school season, Williston was in contention for a region title for much of the season.

And that confidence should carry over to the summer.

“They had a good spring season,” Egge said. “This group can hit the ball.”

And while the Keybirds’ strength will be at the plate this summer, Egge says Wil-liston’s weakness will likely come on the mound.

“We’ve got some good pitching,” he said. “But com-ing out of the bullpen will be the iffy part of our staff.”

The Williston coach is con-

fident in his team’s ability at the plate and in the field, but says it will all come down to pitching.

“They will be able to play defense with the best of them,” he said. “And hit with the best of them, but we got to pitch it with the best of them.”

While this is Egge’s first year as the Keybirds coach, he has coached the past five seasons at various age levels in the Williston baseball program.

“A lot of these kids, I have coached over the years,” he

BY JOSH FRANCISFORUM NEWS SERVICE

EMERSON, Manitoba--Canadian border officials anticipate a large flow of soccer fans entering the country from North Da-kota for several of the FIFA Women’s World Cup games in Winnipeg on Monday through June 16.

Authorities in the Canada Border Services Agency and their counterparts in the United States Custom and Border Protection Field Op-erations division aren’t sure what to expect but say they’re ready and travelers should follow their suggestions to avoid long wait times.

“Usually we have an op-erational plan, so we’ll have additional staff to address the influx of extra traffic,” said CBSA spokeswoman

Jacqueline Callin. “We always encourage people to use Emerson Border Cross-ing if they can.”

She said the Emerson crossing, which Americans enter from Pembina, N.D., is the most equipped to handle travelers 24 hours a day.

Border authorities are unsure how many will cross the border into Canada. There haven’t been many events on the same scale as the World Cup in Winnipeg, they said.

“It is a larger-scale event, so we’re going to try our best to be prepared to handle the extra travelers,” Callin said.

American border authori-ties expect higher-than-usu-al traffic, but they have an advantage.

“We’ll be in communica-tion with CBSA and see what

kind of traffic they have go into Canada, so that’ll give us an idea what to prepare for,” said Chris Misson, public affairs Liaison for Customs and Border Protection.

The Pembina crossing into the U.S. has four lanes and agents can open two additional lanes if neces-sary, Misson said. Callin said the Emerson crossing into Canada can have up to five lanes open for regular travel.

On the busiest days, the Pembina crossing can see 2,500 cars per day, usually during Canadian holidays. Misson didn’t have an esti-mate for what they antici-pate after the games.

Misson said security pro-tocols and procedures won’t be ignored because of the expected increase in traffic.

“Obviously, that’s what

we’re here for. We’re trying to intercept that,” Misson said. “We’re definitely going to treat it just like we would any other time and make sure we’re on the top of our game, making sure that we’re not forgetting about that aspect of the job.”

No one knows how many Americans and other visi-tors will travel to Winnipeg for the World Cup, but hotel occupancy rates are a good indication.

HORSE RACINGGomez, Brewers knock off Twins again, 4-2

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Carlos Gomez went 4 for 4 with a walk, tormenting his former team again with three RBIs over the last three innings to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.

Gomez hit a two-run tiebreaking single in the seventh and an RBI double in the ninth. Matt Garza (4-7) threw seven strong in-nings, Ryan Braun homered for the first time in 12 days and the Brewers handed the Twins their second straight loss at home for the first time this year in front of the second-largest crowd at Target Field this season.

Francisco Rodriguez pitched a hitless ninth for his 10th save in 10 tries after Brian Dozier hit his 11th homer for the Twins off

Jonathan Broxton in the eighth.

Ryan Pressly (3-2) avoided allowing any runs despite throwing 12 straight balls to start the fifth, but he gave up a leadoff single to Jean Se-

gura in the seventh.Gomez smacked

the first pitch from Blaine Boyer, the third reliever of the inning, into cen-ter field to put the Brewers up 3-1.

This was Gomez’s first four-hit game

in more than a full year. He could have done even more damage had he not been thrown out twice on the bases.

Braun missed the game on Wednesday for a procedure designed to reduce inflam-mation in the joint, a similar remedy to what he tried after last season.

He was held out on Friday, too.

American Pharoah becomes 1st Triple Crown winner in 37 years

NEW YORK (AP) — At long last, the Triple Crown drought is over.

American Pharoah led all the way to win the Belmont Stakes by 5 ½ lengths on Sat-urday, becoming the first horse in 37 years to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes — one of the sporting world’s rarest feats.

The bay colt with the unusually short tail defeated seven rivals in the grueling 1 1/2-mile race, covering the distance in 2:26.65 to end the longest stretch without a Triple Crown champion in history.

American Pharoah is the 12th horse and first since Affirmed in 1978 to win three races on different tracks at varying distanc-es over a five-week span. He won the Derby by one length on May 2 and then romped to a seven-length victory in the rainy Preakness two weeks later.

Trainer Bob Baffert and jockey Victor Es-pinoza ended their own frustrating histories in the Triple Crown. Baffert finally won on his record fourth Triple try, having lost in 1997, 1998 (by a nose) and in 2002. Espinoza got it done with his record third shot after failing to win in 2002 and last year on Cali-fornia Chrome.

Frosted finished second and Keen Ice was third.

American Pharoah delivered a victory for Egyptian-born owner Ahmed Zayat, who bred the colt and put him up for sale before buying him back for $300,000. His name came courtesy of the family’s online contest, in which a woman from Missouri submitted the winning moniker, but the misspelling wasn’t noticed until the name was already official.

American Pharoah joined the ranks of Triple Crown winners Sir Barton (1919), Gal-lant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935), War Admiral (1937), Whirlaway (1941), Count Fleet (1943), Assault (1946), Citation (1948), Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977) and Affirmed.

The crowd of 90,000 — capped to avoid overcrowding and long lines from last year’s total of 102,199 — roared as American Pharoah turned for home in front.

As he neared the finish line, drinks were tossed in the air and fans jumped up and down in celebration, many holding their camera phones aloft to capture history on a sunny, 75-degree day at Belmont Park. It’s unlikely the champion heard them since American Pharoah wears ear plugs to block noise that might get him worked up.

Williams beats Safarova in 3 sets at French for 20th majorPARIS (AP) — What start-

ed out as a stroll became quite a struggle for Serena Williams.

After going up by a set and two breaks in the French Open final Saturday, she double-faulted away that lead. Then, suddenly, she trailed in the third set.

As the tension thickened, Williams was warned by the chair umpire for cursing loudly. She even felt the need to hit one shot left-handed.

Ah, but when Williams plays her best, no one is bet-ter. Putting aside a lingering illness, a mid-match lull and a feisty opponent, Williams

won her third title at Roland Garros and 20th Grand Slam singles trophy by beating 13th-seeded Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-2.

“I got so frustrated. I was just so angry at myself. I pretty much gave the match away,” the No. 1-seeded Williams said, her voice scratchy and her nose stuffy. “I just had to, like, try to pull it together.”

That she did, taking the last six games and adding to her 2002 and 2013 champion-ships on the French Open’s red clay. Those go alongside six each from the U.S. Open

and Australian Open, and five from Wimbledon.

“When I was a little girl, in California, my father and my mother wanted me to play tennis,” the 33-year-old American told the crown in French earlier. “And now I’m here, with 20 Grand Slam titles.”

Only two players in the century-plus history of Grand Slam tennis have more: Margaret Smith Court with 24, and Steffi Graf with 22.

Williams also stretched her winning streak at the majors to 21 matches, following titles at the U.S.

Open last September and Australian Open in January. She is the first woman since Jennifer Capriati in 2001 to win the Australian Open and French Open back-to-back and heads to Wimbledon’s grass with a chance to extend a bid to accomplish just about the only thing she hasn’t: win a calendar-year Grand Slam.

“Why not?” said her coach, Patrick Moura-toglou. “That’s probably the most difficult thing to do in tennis. But it’s possible.”

Saturday’s victory did not come easily for Williams, who skipped practice Friday because she was sick, sleep-ing until the afternoon at her Paris apartment.

“It’s been a nightmare,” Williams said.

Owner of the most feared serve in women’s tennis, she

double-faulted 11 times.She made 25 unforced er-

rors in the second set alone, and 42 in all, 25 more than Safarova, a 28-year-old lefty with a whip-like forehand

appearing in her first major final.

“My first serve aban-doned me,” said Williams, who is 32-1 in 2015, 12-0 in three-setters. “Once she saw that I got a little tight, she started play-ing really a lot better.”

Williams got broken serving

for the match at 6-5 in the second set, then was down 2-0 in the third, before turn-ing things around.

“When she was on, she was just serving amazing and going for the returns, pressuring me right away,” said Safarova, who will play in the women’s doubles final Sunday with American

Bethanie Mattek-Sands. “It’s just hard to do anything with that.”

When it was over, Wil-liams dropped her racket, threw her head back and lifted her arms into a “V.” In the stands, Mouratoglou held aloft two fingers on his right hand and made a fist with his left, to symbolize “20.”

And to think: Four times in this tournament, Wil-liams dropped the opening set before coming back to win, including in Thursday’s semifinals, when she was lethargic and bothered by the flu.

So the question leading into the final was: How healthy would Williams be? She began providing an-swers from the get-go.

Williams closed the first game with a 120 mph (194 kph) ace.

She went up 3-1 by break-ing with a cross-court forehand return winner. The first set flew by and even Safarova acknowledged af-terward, “It was looking like it will be an easy match.”

‘I got so frus-terated. I was just so angry at myself. I pretty much gave the match away.’

Boston police: Fan hurt by bat at Fenway expected to survive

BOSTON (AP) — A fan hit by a broken bat at Fenway Park is expected to survive after sustaining life-threat-ening injuries during a game between the Oakland Athletics and Boston Red Sox.

Officer Rachel McGuire said Saturday that the woman is recovering.

Tonya Carpenter was

struck in the head by the broken bat of Oakland’s Brett Lawrie on Friday night. Police initially called her injuries life-threatening.

Carpenter is in serious condition, her family said Saturday in a statement.

“Tonya’s family and loved ones are grateful to all who have reached out with thoughts and prayers but are request-ing privacy at this time as Tonya recov-ers,” said the statement from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Hospital.

There was a “moment of reflection” for Carpenter at Fenway Park before Satur-day’s game between the A’s and Red Sox.

“All of us offer our prayers and our thoughts as we wish her a speedy recovery,” the Red Sox said in a statement.

Lawrie was out of the line-up and manager Bob Melvin said it wasn’t because of any psychological effect, but instead a back issue.

Friday night’s game was halted in the second inning as emergency crews tended to a bloodied Carpenter and wheeled her off the field on a stretcher.

Lawrie broke his bat on a grounder and part of it hurtled a few rows into the seats between the backstop and Oakland’s dugout on the third base side.

There are signs posted on the low retaining wall facing

fans in the front row that read: “Be Alert. Foul Balls and Bats Hurt.”

Alex Merlis, of Brookline, Massachusetts, said he was sitting in the row behind the woman when the broken bat flew into the stands.

“It was violent,” he said of the impact to her forehead

and top of her head. “She bled a lot. A lot. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any-thing like that.”

Merlis said the woman had been sit-ting with a small child and a man. After she was injured, the man was tending to her and other people were trying to console the distraught child, he said.

After the game, Lawrie said he hoped the woman would recover.

“I’ve seen bats fly out of guys’ hands in the stands and everyone’s OK, but when one breaks like that, has jagged edges on it, any-thing can happen.”

Concerned about a rash of flying broken bats and the danger they posed, Major League Baseball studied the issue in 2008 and implement-ed a series of changes to bat regulations for the following season.

“I do know that MLB is probably taking a look at the incident last night, as they do with any bat that flies into the stands,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said.

A butterflyhas a coiled

proboscis for drinking liquids such as flower

nectar.

Butterfly wings are

covered with colored scales.

Scientists estimate there are some 12,000 – 15,000 species of butterflies.

Some good-tasting butterflies are disguised to look like poisonous

ones causing birds to stay away from them as well.

Look closely at these butterflies to find the one that is different.

Some butterflies, such as the Monarch and Pipevine Swallowtail, eat poisonous plants as caterpillars and are poisonous themselves as adult butterflies. Birds learn not to eat them.

Butterflies are mostly brightly colored day-flying insects with long clubbed antennae, while

moths fly at night and lack clubs at the end of their antennae. Some moths have antennae that look

almost like feathers.

Butterflies can be found on all continents except one. Write the letter that comes before each letter to find that continent.

Draw the other half of this butterfly.

It’s a flower! It’s a bird! It’s a butterfly! Butterflies may look like flying flowers but they are living insects. Like all insects, a butterfly has a head, thorax, abdomen, two antennae and six legs.

One butterfly is spelled b-u-t-t-e-r-f-l-y. More than one is spelled b-u-t-t-e-r-f-l-i-e-s.

To make butterfly plural, you change the y to i and add –es.

Look through the newspaper for five nouns that end in y. Change each from singular to plural. Then, look for five plural nouns, and change

them to singular nouns.

A butterfly can fly at a top speed of

miles per hour.6 + 3 + 5 - 2

PROBOSCIS

Try to use the word proboscis in a sentence

today when talking with your friends and family members.

The noun proboscis means the slender, tubular feeding

organ of some insects.

The butterfly drinks nectar from a flower by using

its proboscis.

Are you an eagle-eyed reader? Read the article below and correct the nine errors you find. The first one is done for you.

Why are butterflies called “butterflies”?No one knows for sure, since

the wurd has been in the

english language for

centuries. The word was

buterfleoge in Old English,

which means butterfly in our

English twoday.

Because it is such an old

word, we don’t really know

the furst time someone said,

“That thing over there is a

butterfly.”

One stories is that they was

called butterflies because it

was though that witches took

on the shape of butterflies and

then stealed milk and butter.

Some peoples think it comes

from someone hearing

“butterfly” when someone

else said, “flutter-by.” In other

languages, this fluttery bugg

is not called anything like

“butter” and “fly.”

Why do you think butterflies

are called butterflies?

… taking time to appreciate the world’s natural beauty.

Why did the other bugs drop the caterpillar from the

soccer team?
