BY RENÉE JEANWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — Band Day may have come and gone, but Chuck Childs, back home in South Dakota, still feels 10 feet tall. To think that the Band Day of his youth sought him out to serve as parade marshal 84 years later is just as unfor-gettable to him as his first Band Day in 1931.

The Arnegard band in which he played had about 30 youths in it at the time. Childs was marching with the high school band that day, though he was just 11. After his brother graduated from high school, he became the band’s only snare drum-mer.

"I was on top of the world

that day," Childs recalls. "I really felt special. The Arne-gard band had uniforms,and we were sharp."

He recalls that all his fellow band members were excited about going to the big town and marching in its big parade. Childs was quite tired at the end of the march — keeping up with older, longer legs was a lot of work — but he was also quite thrilled.

"Nothing else could hap-pen better than that," Childs recalled. "They had a ham-burger shop in Williston, which we did not have in Arnegard, so that was a big thrill, too."

The burger shop was called White Castle and served normal-sized burg-

ers at the time. Childs had a coke with his hamburger.

"Band Day gives Williston a good name," Childs said. "Isn't it amazing? Eighty-four years, and they're not missing a lick. They're still doing it, and they have the people with the interest to keep it going. Williston will always be the Band Festival City as far as I am con-cerned."

Childs was particularly impressed with the Band Day committee’s new idea of having the event’s guest bands offer master classes to area youths. He believes that’s going to help grow the event for many years to come.

RAY (AP) — North Da-kota health officials say a natural gas flare at an oil pad has sprayed a mix of oil and brine into a tribu-tary of the east fork of the Little Muddy River.

The North Dakota De-partment of Health says less than 42 gallons of the mix were sprayed into the river. The incident hap-pened 10 miles northwest of Ray.

The site is owned by Con-tinental Resources, Inc. A

representative for the com-pany did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press seeking comment on the incident.

Saltwater, or brine, is an unwanted byproduct of oil production.

It's many times saltier than sea water and can eas-ily kill vegetation.

Health Department inspectors are expected to visit the site to investigate the incident and determine a remediation plan.

WILLISTON — With new job numbers coming out recently, Williston's Job Services North Dakota Director Cindy Sanford has been fielding many calls from national media, most of them focused on finding the "bust" in northwestern North Dakota.

Sanford can't show them a bust, however, because not only are there still oil jobs to be had, there are other opportunities as well. She shows them that with a little game she calls “Pick a Job. Any job.”

Teachers? There are 61 of those.

"Crosby was paying $45,000 for teachers," she adds.

Mechanics? Two hundred fifty-one of those jobs are open, with pay ranging from $20 an hour for the inexperienced to $39 for

the experienced."Construction is big right

now," Sanford says. She types that into a

search box for just Williams County and 286 unfilled listings pop up, ranging from $16 an hour for general labor to $40 for project man-agers. Twenty-seven of the open construction jobs hap-pen to be project managers.

Engineers? There are 120 listings. Admin — 157. Ar-chitects — 20. Doctors — 9. Nurses — 132. Safety — 513.

Sanford takes a closer look at the latter.

"We may be starting to go back in," she says, looking at the types of safety positions. They're similar to what she typically sees when oil is about to rise again.

The new listings for oil jobs — 164 — are mostly midstream.

"Production jobs are what

Community Sale changes hands, set for May 16BY CHARLEE GUILDWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — A Willis-ton tradition will be hosted by a new party this year, but the deals will still be plenty May 16 at the annual Com-munity Sale.

Basin United Way of Wil-liston will be hosting the annual sale this year, which begins at 8 a.m. Saturday, May 16 at the Raymond Center. There will be a si-lent and live auction, and a drawing for raffle winners.

“What is unique about United Way is that it raises funds for organizations that focus on solutions for the whole community, including programs that assist seniors and disabled, strengthen families, promote self-suffi-ciency, nurture youth, and build our community,” said Interim Director Sabrina Ramey.

After years of hosting, Mercy Medical Center asked the United Way organiza-tion to take control and carry on the tradition so it could focus its efforts on operations.

“It is a big project with a huge amount of community support, but it takes a lot of volunteer time to make an event like the Community Sale happen,” Ramey said.

This year’s proceeds will benefit United Way. The organization supports on average about 30 nonprofit organizations in the Wil-liston area.

“The non-profit groups we support have all commu-nicated to United Way that demands for their services have risen sharply over the past five to six years,” Ramey said.

Arnegard stopped sending bands to Band Day in about 1935, Childs said, but he never quit playing drums. In World War II, he was a bomber pilot by day, flying a B-17, but by night, he was part of a small jazz band. After missions, they'd hit up the clubs and play until about 2 a.m.

"We didn't know if we were going to make it to the next day or not," Childs re-called. "So we'd drink, laugh and have fun, then fly our mission and come back and do it all over again."

During the Korean War, Childs started up a drum and bugle corps that played

in Tokyo when the Yankees came to play baseball.

"Flying and music have been the two biggest things in my life, except for my family. Of course my fam-ily is No. 1," Childs said. "I don't know what the world would do without music. It is universal. I love music. It is my life."

Childs was amazed at the crowd and the reception he received in Williston, and it put him once again on top of the world. He rode in an Army Jeep, smiling and waving at the crowds. Miss Williston came to talk to him and hugged him. And at the end of the parade, a member of the Denver Bronco’s Stampede passed

the drum sticks so he could play with them.

"Here I am, 95 years old, riding in an Army jeep, waving, smiling at them, and they're hollering back, 'Welcome to Williston,’: Childs said. “What a thrill it was. It was truly a wonder-ful day," Childs said. "It was really a great great honor to be the parade marshal. I cannot thank them enough for letting me do it."

Editor’s note: An earlier story on Childs, published Wednesday, May 6, identi-fied him as Chuck Child. The Williston Herald regrets this error.

MANDAREE (AP) — Tribal officials say they're looking into a saltwater spill in western North Dakota.

Three Affiliated Tribes Chairman Mark Fox says officials were notified of the spill near Mandaree by a pipeline operator Thursday. He says preliminary as-sessments indicate roughly 220,000 gallons of saltwater spilled in what's primarily open field on the Fort Ber-thold Indian Reservation.

Tribal officials say saltwater spilled near Mandaree


WILLISTON — If you were to think of each Band Day volunteer, each spon-sor, each youthful par-ticipant and each person at the annual prelude ban-quet as a decibel of sound for the future of music, it's clear the musical roof is being raised sky-high in Williston.

A lifetime of love for mu-sic backs up these efforts large and small by the vil-lage of the willing. Among the giants in that village, of course, is the Williston Convention and Visitors Bureau, which sponsors and organizes Band Day each year.

"It was one for the books," Amy Krueger, CVB executive director said.

She was particularly pleased with the master class for area drummers given by the Denver Broncos Stampede. It was good for its first go-round. Krueger said the CVB plans to continue that each year from now on in some fashion.

"We had all ages, from Kat, who was 6 years old, on up to a senior citizen, and all ages in between," Krueger said. "It was a pleasure to add that to the event. It was great day, a great parade, a great event."

Krueger added that the CVB is seeking committee members to help with next year's event. Contact her at 701-774-9041 for details.

Band Day costs about $50,000 annually to put on. Funds raised this year total about $24,000 so far, $19,000 of it from larger corporate sponsors. A small army of volunteers also help make the event happen.

“We could not do any of our community events without our volunteers,” Krueger said. “There are about 20 on the planning committee, but there are so many more who step up and take on different pieces of the event to make it memorable. The Lions always helps feed break-fast to our traveling bands. Phillips and Jordan grilled burgers for all the band students. WSC athletics took on the Band Day mile. And there are the count-less volunteers and com-panies who help out with cleaning the city to get it ready for Band Day, and so many more.”

A number of individu-als also contributed to the event by simply attending its annual prelude ban-quet.

The event, which in-cluded a catered meal and a preview of guest bands Denver Broncos Stampede and the Twin Cities Metro Pipe Band out of Minne-apolis, raised about $4,000.

Jean Lindvig and her friend Jackie Keck were among the 200 or so indi-viduals who turned out for the prelude banquet to hear the great music, eat a fine meal and reminisce.

Lindvig remembers playing the baritone bugle as a girl, lying on her side when she was too small to hold and play it upright. She's been participating in Band Day since fifth grade.

"Everyone would stand up and clap you into the room," she recalls. "It was just such a thrill. I think the event just becomes more and more memorable to me as it's gone on."

Keck, meanwhile, grew up playing a French Horn in Iowa and has been in Williston since 1992. She believes traditions like these are important for communities to pass on.

"Music is life," she said. "It's the heartbeat. I hope an activity like this can draw in new people to par-ticipate, rather than being spectators."

While Lindvig has a lot of nostalgia for the event's good old days, when there were more area schools and more bands, she is nonetheless pleased to see the event changing with the times and keeping itself fresh and exciting with things like the Stam-pede’s class.

"It's a wonderful event to bring people together," she said. "The fact that this has existed this long and is still here and keeping people and the bands going — it's unstoppable. I mean you try ripping up the street and the parade just takes a different route."

Job seekers at a recent job fair in Williston.

JOBS: Opportunities abound for new arrivalsFROM PAGE A1

will continue to be here," she says of the energy sec-tor. "There are still a ton of opportunities in all areas, though. Whatever you are looking for, truly, if you go onto jobsnd.com and put in a search word of something that you do, a job will pop up if you've spelled it right. And I'm just looking within Williams County right now.”

Many of the jobs listed of-fer some housing assistance, too, though that’s not always mentioned in the listing.

Northwestern North Dakota still holds a lot of promise, Sanford believes,

both for job seekers laid off from the oilfield and newly arrived hopefuls.

Last month, Sanford's office served 86 job seekers. That compares to 82 in April 2014 and 112 in April 2013. About 10 percent of this year's job seekers have been laid off from the oilfield, a statistic Sanford only recently began tracking.

Outside her office is an area designated for job seek-ers to find listings through the online database or bul-letin boards. That’s where Idris Dinda was found.

He came from the Ivory Coast four weeks ago and thinks of the region as an

opportunity despite the recent oil price slump.

"I'm looking for something with 10 to 20 hours of over-time," Dinda said. "I want to save money for a downpay-ment to start a business."

That business would be a Jamaican food spot. He admits he was thinking of starting that business else-where, but he's been chang-ing his mind lately.

"People here are very nice in Williston, and that's a big plus," he said. "Instead of go-ing to the island, they might enjoy having a little island food right here some day."

One thing we love to pass along is when folks with long-stand-ing local ties venture out and do something good.

It should prove to be another interesting experience for the Dr. Loye Ashton family this week in Pittsburgh, Penn-sylvania.

Dr. Ashton will be joined by his daughter and son as they prepare to serve as judges for the International Science & Engineering Fair.

Dr. Ashton has already arrived in that city and is already joined by his daughter Kimberly O'Keefe, who has retired from her rank as Colonel, previously serving as a career officer with the U.S. Army Na-tional Guard in Washington D.C.

Also joining the fam-ily will be Loye B. (Brad) Ashton, Ph.D, as he makes his way there from Touga-loo, Mississippi where he teaches Theology.

We learned this will be the fourth year this trio of volunteers has been honored to serve as judges of this event that attracts entries from across the globe.

Kimberly, who has al-ready taken a new job as a civilian working at the Pentagon, tells us some of the students will even bring along interpreters.

The judges started work today and will be on hand through Thursday, while the event continues with additional activities planned for the students after the awards.

In addition to receiving ribbons, entries in the fair at this level can collect funds to help them further their educations.

"There is a lot of scholar-ship money, with some very dedicated students walking

away with some healthy scholarships," said Kim-berly.

Kimberly also pointed out that major corporations are on hand to recruit employ-ees for technical fields.

This time around Kim-berly will be judging En-vironmental Engineering entries, while Dr. Loye will be grading Environmental Science projects.

Dr. Loye B. will be serving as a judge for the Medical Ethics division.

You might recall that it all begins with the local and regional, along with the state fairs that lead up to this huge gathering.

We send out a Scope Salute to the Ashton family for taking time from their busy schedules to volunteer and contribute to this event for the benefit of students.

NORWEGIAN TRIOWith Syttende Mai fast

approaching, Norwegians, and all those who want to get in on the fun, are mak-ing note of a number of special events.

We can tell you beginning at 8 p.m. CDT this evening at the MonDak Heritage Center in Sidney, Montana, the Arnstein Killingberg Orchestra direct from Nor-way will be performing.

Admission is free and open to the public so you just might want to fire up the car.

This orchestra consists of three family members hail-ing from Leksvik, North Trondelag in Norway.

The husband and wife duo of Arnstein and Grete Killingberg are joined by their daughter Ida.

This orchestra dates back to 1930 and should be a great event to sit back and enjoy.

According to Carrol T. Juven of Norwegian Cul-tural Tours, Inc. of Fargo, the orchestra will be on tour through May 23 as a part of "Hands Across the Sea," a Norwegian Cultural Exchange.

This looks like a great way to get things rolling as Syttende Mai is slated for Sunday.

SONS OF NORWAYOn that note, the annual

event at American State Bank & Trust Co. in down-town Williston will once again feature the Sons of Norway Lodge #86.

Plans call for the festivi-ties to run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, with entertainment weaved in throughout this time period.

Refreshments and en-tertainment will be made available at the Main Office.

You can drop by for some goodies and give a listen at 10 a.m. on Friday to the sounds of the Arlon Peter-son family.

Come noon you will find Jacki Keck & Friends in the spotlight, while at 1 p.m. Country Sunshine is ready to shine.

Debbie Richter notes, "don't let road construction deter you from coming in."

MORE IN CROSBYYou will have yet one

more chance to get in on some fun come Saturday.

That's because the Vidda Lodge 4-663, Sons of Nor-way of Crosby will sponsor a Syttende Mai celebra-tion in that community on Saturday.

It will all begin with a pa-rade of flags on Main Street in Crosby at 1:30 p.m., beginning at the theatre.

Then at 2 p.m. at Dakota Theatre, the movie Kon-Tiki will be shown with admission to the movie being free.

Everyone is welcome to attend, while refreshments will be served following the movie.

You should know a free will offering will be taken to help with some of the overall costs.

Kon-Tiki is a 2012 histori-cal drama film that is di-rected by Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg.

It was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe award for best foreign language film.

The movie is based on a true story of a dangerous seafaring adventure of six men sailing from Peru to

Polynesia risking their lives for an idea.

It is a battle with nature, sacrificing all for a mission, including his marriage.

Here you have an oppor-tunity to take in a parade and movie.

How can you beat some-thing like that?

TWINS ON ROLLYes, we know they got

thumped on Sunday, but prior to that the Minnesota Twins were playing the best baseball in the major leagues.

After stumbling out of the gate, the Twins, under the new direction of Paul Molitor, have found their way.

This comes in part to the turn-around play of Torii Hunter and finally Joe Mauer has figured out his swing.

With the pitching getting better every day, to go along with a strong bullpen, pil-ing up a number of runs on the offensive side is impor-tant.

One can only hope the Twins continue along this winning path and forget about those losing ways that have dogged the orga-nization for a number of years.

Loyal fans deserve a team that puts on a good display on the diamond.

It appears, at least for now, the Twins are back and making some noise.

BRADY ON BENCHFinally!The National Football

League has dealt out a pen-alty to a team that appeared to be so innocent.

With "Deflate-gate," the playoff game against India-napolis coming into play, the Patriots were accused of deflating footballs for the benefit of quarterback Tom Brady.

Now the NFL has tossed out a four-game suspension for Brady, while at no pay, amounting to some two mil-lion in salary loss.

In addition, the club has been fined one million dol-

lars, along with two draft choices over time.

When the latest report was released, one can see where the NFL had to do something.

TOURISM OPENERWhile the sun refused to

shine, the official start of the tourism season in Min-nesota is off and running.

The 2015 Governor's Fish-ing Opener was held on Sat-urday at the Lake Vermil-ion area, with the tiny town of Tower designated as the host city, in the northern part of the state.

Folks in the state of Min-nesota have kicked off the tourism season for the past 68 years in grand fashion.

Since 1948 the state has hosted the opener, attract-ing massive media cover-age.

Communities through-out that state are in line to make a bid to host this ma-jor event that brings media from across the country to the winning site.

This year the Vermilion area proved to be the host, with the folks in Tower getting the nod to bring out the red carpet.

And that they did, with a community picnic, second-to-none.

Fishing proved to be productive for higher state officials this time out, while the Scope settled for one walleye on the hook.

Oh well, nobody likes to see the Governor get skunked.

We had a great time with our hosts Ron and Mike Kmett proving to provide some great hospitality.

Mike, who makes his home on the water, sup-plied his pontoon craft that made for a very comfort-able outing on a very chilly morning.

While we didn't have any fish to measure up to the government officials, our time was well spent making new friends.

While North Dakota tends to make an effort to recruit visitors to come west by blasting television com-

mercials into the homes of Minnesotans, the opener for the Land of 10,000 Lakes shouts out positive public-ity with a different twist.

We have long said this is an avenue the state of North Dakota should expe-rience.

TOWN OF TOWERWhile you are venturing

out this summer, perhaps you are looking at a visit to northern Minnesota.

Should you do so we encourage you to pay a visit to the community of Tower, and check out the Soudan Underground Mine.

This town was once bustling with the mining industry pulling out some rich iron ore.

The plant shut down in 1962, and now the mine only serves as a tourist at-traction.

Here you will have an opportunity to get into the miners' cage and travel one-half mile below the earth's surface and see first-hand what took place.

The last time we were in that community, some 10 years ago for the opener, former Herald employee Dan Bundy joined me for the cage ride.

It made for an interesting ride then, while the second time around proved to be even more exciting as Ron Hanson joined in the fun.

Summer is a great time to get out and see what awaits you.

We can tell you there are plenty of new experiences right here in North Dakota.

One that comes to mind is the 50th anniversary of the famed Medora Musical.

All you have to do is ring up 1-800-MEDORA1 or go online at www.medora.com to learn more.

Whatever you choose to do, enjoy and be safe along the way.

Scoping It Out

Thomas A.Kvamme

OSLO — Norwegian oil firm Statoil replaced several top executives including its chief financial officer on Tuesday, continuing a shake-up since its chief executive was poached by rival BG Group last October.

State-controlled Statoil has lost four board mem-bers, including its chair-man, over the past several months, and some top man-agers, including from its mergers and acquisitions unit and U.S. shale busi-ness, have left the firm.

With Tuesday's changes, the firm moved up sev-eral long-time employees, keeping with a tradition of elevating in-house talent and ensuring no sudden changes as all new execu-tive have been with the firm for at least two decades.

The appointments, includ-ing a new U.S. chief, also indicate Statoil will keep a focus on its U.S. shale op-erations, despite big invest-ment cutback and a massive writedown, analysts said.

Statoil appointed Hans Jacob Hegge as chief financial officer, moving Torgrim Reitan to head the firm's U.S. business, where the contract of the previous chief, Bill Maloney, was not renewed.

Today is Tuesday, May 12, the 132nd day of 2015. There are 233 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On May 12, 1975, the White House announced the new Cambodian government had seized an American merchant ship, the Mayaguez, in international waters. (U.S. Marines gained control of the ship three days after its seizure, not knowing the 39 civilian members of the crew had already been released by Cambodia.)

On this date:In 1870, an act creating

the Canadian province of Manitoba was given royal assent, to take ef-fect in July.

In 1922, a 20-ton meteor crashed near Blackstone, Virginia.

In 1932, the body of Charles Lindbergh Jr., the kidnapped son of Charles and Anne Lindbergh, was found in a wooded area near Hopewell, New Jersey.

In 1937, Britain’s King George VI was crowned at Westminster Abbey; his wife, Elizabeth, was crowned as queen consort.

In 1970, the Senate voted unanimously to confirm Harry A. Black-mun as a Supreme Court justice.

In 1982, in Fatima, Por-tugal, security guards overpowered a Spanish priest armed with a bayonet who attacked Pope John Paul II. (In 2008, the pope’s long-time private secretary revealed that the pontiff was slightly wounded in the assault.)

We need to better celebrate police

Guest columnist

John Andrist

I’m thankful I am not a cop. But I’m grate-ful for those who are.

These are tough times for cops. On Satur-day they said there were 10,000 cops gath-ered in New York City for the funeral of a 25-year old brother.

This is one who was shot while he simply had stopped a motorist with a gun. So many others, however, are being gunned down because they are cops.

Worse yet, so many folks have grown to distrust cops. Every time one of them is involved in an altercation that takes the life of a victim, the whole profession is vilified.

It’s made me ponder how our culture has changed from a time when cops were the “good guys”, seen as our ultimate protec-tors.

Sometimes the cops of old shot people, even for no more reason than their successors have had in the many recent high profile incidents. We just assumed the people they shot were bad guys.

We expect todays cops not to get scared, to use restraint even to the point of endangering themselves.

I don’t think I’ve read about any policeman shooting somebody who was not committing a crime, fleeing from arrest, brandishing a weapon, or resisting an arrest.

Once upon a time we would simply say, “He was asking for it”.

Perhaps part of the reason we’ve changed is that today po-lice do have other weapons, things like mace or stun guns.

Then again, in our time being disadvantaged was not a justifiable excuse for resisting arrest and talking back to those in authority.

Nobody excuses burning and looting, or the criminal acts of young thugs. But there are a whole lot of us in today’s society who jump to the conclusion that the young thugs are victims of society. Call it quasi-justification.

Too often it seems like we have more compassion for the perpetrator than we have for the victims.

Sunday was our annual day for worshipping mothers. We heaped candy and flowers and mushy cards on them, and took them out to dinner.

We ought to have such a day for cops.

IS IT CRIMINAL TO TELL A LIE?Mark Twain once said, “There are lies, damned lies, and

statistics”. There are also white lies, that suck in just about everyone.

I think most of us, however, separate defensive lies from those that seek to deceive or hurt someone.

I haven’t heard of anyone who defends the response of Harry Reid, recently deposed minority leader in the Senate

On the Senate floor during the last presidential campaign, Reid proclaimed Mitt Romney had not paid his taxes.

When it became clear that it was not true, Reid then said, “Well, they can call it whatever they want, but “Romney didn’t win, did he?”

In other words, the lie was okay, because it served a useful purpose. Few of us could accept that as moral justification.

I believe Massachusetts is the only state that makes it unlawful to use lies in political ads. Now that law is being challenged on the grounds that it is a violation of the First Amendment.

Truth is just about everybody tells a lie on occasion, or at least has done it in the past. And yet none of us like the thought of being called a “liar”.

Like beauty, I suspect lies often are in “the eye of the beholder”.

Those who struggle to learn the English language tell us we have too many words. And yet the word lie is a term that should have a whole lot more words to better define the difference between, “That dress looks pretty”, and “Well, it worked didn’t it?”

Oil’s sharp rally since the middle of March has been driven by a race among bearish hedge funds to cover loss-making short positions rather than any great bull-ishness about the outlook.

On the eve of the rally, hedge funds and other money managers had amassed record short posi-tions in WTI-linked futures and options amounting to 209 million barrels of oil.

But in the seven weeks between March 17 and May 5, hedge funds cut their shorts by almost 116 mil-lion barrels to 93 million, a decline of more than 55 percent.

Over the same period, hedge funds added only 7 million barrels of net new longs, a 2 percent increase from 381 million to 388 mil-lion, according to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trad-ing Commission (CFTC).

Hedge fund short cov-ering coincides almost precisely with the rise in front-month WTI prices, from a recent low of $42 per barrel on March 18 to a high of more than $62.50 on May 6, an increase of nearly 50 percent.

The spread between the price of WTI delivered in June and December 2015 has halved from $6.16 to $3.08 between the same

dates, and since tightened further to just $2.71.

Now the record short has been largely squared up, the rally has faded, as there are fewer short positions to buy back.

The snap-back has been a clas-sic case of the speculative community getting it wrong - amass-ing a record short position and betting heavily prices would continue falling even when prices were already very low.

It is the mirror image of what happened in May and June 2014 - when the specu-lative community amassed a record WTI long position of 451 million barrels bet-ting on a further rise when prices were already very high and about to crash.

Rather than betting against the trend and as-suming prices will tend to revert towards the mean, a significant number of funds are assuming trends will persist and extend.

Investors often follow the maxim that “the trend is your friend” but in the oil market over the last 12 months it has proved a fickle one and cost some hedge funds heavily.

For the producers, Saudi Arabia and OPEC have both blamed speculators for some of the wild swings in oil prices during 2014 and 2015.

Earlier this year, Saudi Aramco’s chief executive blamed hedge funds for propping up oil prices at unrealistically high levels before the crash by over-estimating “geopolitical risks” to oil supplies.

Since that point, Saudi and OPEC officials have blamed speculators for driving prices excessively low by ignoring evidence that shale production was tapering.

The Saudi/OPEC position overstates the role specula-tors have played. There have been sound fundamental reasons for the crash and partial rebound in prices over the last 12 months.

But there is no doubt the huge turn round in specula-tor positions, from record long in June 2014 to record short in March 2015, accel-erated and exaggerated the movement in prices.

Letter to the editor

Time for some drivers to brush up on the rules

Editorial cartoon

Today when I was out and about, I was passed on the wrong side of the road while going the designated speed limit on SIX different occasions.

I was also cut off twice. My children were in the car with me, and I felt like their lives were being endangered, no mat-ter how carefully I was driving.

I think it would be wonderful if somebody could write an article about traffic safety, and maybe include a little brush-up on the rules of the road.

I realize that not everybody was made to take drivers edu-cation classes before they were allowed to get their drivers license, and I fear that some people may not realize the re-sponsibility that goes along with operating a motor vehicle.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Moth-er's Day may have been a bit of a bust for a baby sea lion in San Diego — and a bit of a surprise, too.

Michael Duffy, 48, said he was on his 41-foot Ketten-burg boat "Elixir" at the San Diego Yacht Club when he awoke at 2:30 a.m. Sunday to sneezing and snoring.

He thought it might be a friend, crashing from a night out, but couldn't find anyone. Once it got light a few hours later, however, he heard it again.

That's when Duffy saw a 35-pound sea lion pup on

another bunk, curled up like a dog on top of his board shorts.

"It was a tiny little guy, and I was kind of shocked, but he was basically asleep," Duffy said, guessing it was a male. "Then he heard me coming, so he kind of looked up a little bit like when a dog is sleeping and you want to wake it up and it doesn't want to wake up."

Duffy said the pup was probably looking for his mom but found him instead.

Duffy grabbed his cellphone and took a photo of the pup, who had already jumped

down onto the cabin floor."You gotta go buddy, go...

go, go, go," Duffy said, as he filmed, softly coaxing the baby sea lion back up the stairs, off the boat and into the water.

Duffy has been sailing since he was 6 years old and has grown up around the marine environment; he'd heard of sea lions getting onto boats, but going down below?

“Totally bizarre,” he said, adding: “Sea lions they can be cute, but they can be dangerous. You’ve got to be careful it’s a wild animal.”

CELORON, N.Y. (AP) — A statue of Lucille Ball in her western New York hometown may not be very flattering, but it sure is funny.

The "Scary Lucy" statue has made enough people laugh to earn a spot in the new National Comedy Center break-ing ground soon.

Chairman Tom Benson says the center will embrace the statue not as a likeness of the late comedian but as a trib-ute to what she was about — making people laugh.

The Celoron Village Board voted Monday to give the statue to the center, expected to open next year in nearby Jamestown.

The bronze sculpture was unveiled in 2009 in Lucille Ball Memorial Park. Critics say it looks nothing like the "I Love Lucy" star.

Dear Annie: I’m a little confused about a recent development in my life. I’m a 69-year-old male. My wife died last summer after be-ing in a nursing facility for nearly two years.

I recently went on a trip to visit some buddies. On the way, I decided to see a woman who was married to my wife’s cousin. Her hus-band also died after a long illness. I found that I en-joyed the short time we had together. At the conclusion of the trip with my buddies, she agreed to see me on my way back. The second visit seemed even better than the first. I thought we had a real connection.

I’m not sure where to go with this new friendship. I really like her a lot. Should I stay in contact? Do you think I’m just lonely and looking for companionship? I don’t want to simply fill a void. Should I continue with letters and texting, waiting to see whether any-thing happens, or should I be straightforward and ask how she feels about me? -- Confused

Dear Confused: Yes, you should stay in contact, and yes, you should let her know you are interested in spending more time with her. Are you lonely or look-ing for companionship? Most people are. We might

caution you if you were desperately looking into mail-order brides, but that’s not the case. You know this woman. She is already a friend. You enjoy her company, and she

seems to enjoy yours. We say go for it.

Dear Annie: With gradu-ation season coming upon us soon, I am wondering what to do.

I am a high school sports coach. Over the past few summers, I have been invited to multiple gradu-ation parties. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy the parties, and I love my players. I am honored to be invited and to have had a positive impact on their lives. But I can’t af-ford to give each party hon-oree a gift. That would add up pretty quickly, and it’s not fair to give one player a gift and not another.

Is it rude not to give gifts, or is it better not to attend any parties? -- Coach on a Budget

Dear Coach: We have mentioned in the past that the best gift a teacher or

coach can give is a letter ex-pressing positive thoughts about the graduate. Write something that indicates personal knowledge of the player’s attributes and strengths, his or her sense of humor, teamwork, com-passion, efforts or talent. These letters are cherished and saved for years and are more meaningful than any material gift you could buy. And you also will feel free to attend the parties, which the players will also appre-ciate.

Dear Annie: In your re-sponse to “Al,” who found three dusty books inside some ductwork, you told him he could trace the own-er without “pouring” over the personal content. Oops! The word should have been “poring.” -- Ken Hooton

Dear Ken Hooton: You weren’t the only reader who caught that mistake, which our overworked editors also missed. Thanks for hauling us up short.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone will try to take advantage of you. Guard against a fast talker who offers the impossible. Unless you have examined all the details, you would be best off taking a pass.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will find it necessary to go the extra mile when it comes to keeping the peace. Don’t be too hardheaded; compromise and cooperation will be needed to avoid argu-ments and hurt feelings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Younger people will gravi-tate to you. A stimulating new prospect will be of inter-est. If you use your imagina-

tion, you will discover a solu-tion to a problem that’s been bothering you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Present your ideas with confidence if you want to convince everyone to fol-low your lead. Residential changes will add to your comfort and reduce your stress level. An investment will pay off.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Be respectful. You’ll forfeit a friendship if you are too pushy. Be aware of the harmful consequences before you make a rash, ir-reversible decision.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Someone you encounter will find you extremely alluring. A romantic relationship will take an upward swing. Make the most of your appeal and enjoy your current partner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A situation that is trou-bling you will be resolved. You are entering a period of growth that will enhance your creativity and curios-ity, so be bold and take on something new.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A solid invest-

ment plan will pay off. Per-sonal relationships may be strained. Learn as you go. Consider starting a home business that will utilize your talents and add to your cash flow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your usual routine will fall by the wayside. Deal with each issue as it arises. Your ability to adapt to change-able circumstances and to make knowledgeable deci-sions will serve you well.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Helping others will emphasize your capabilities to a new audience. Don’t be surprised if you receive a job offer. Consider updating or re-locating to help you advance.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If a personal relationship is unsettled, consider dissolv-ing the association. Staying in an unhappy situation will compound distress.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will get the wrong impression from someone’s promises. If matters are unclear, ask a trusted friend to shed some light on your circumstances before you make a commitment.

Not sure about new found friend

Annie’s Mailbox

David Frost, an English tele-vision interviewer who used to work a lot in the United States, said, “He’s turned his life around. He used to be depressed and miserable. Now he’s miserable and de-pressed.”

Bridge players can be de-pressed and miserable -- or miserable and depressed -- after failing to make or break a contract. In today’s deal, South is in three no-trump. How should he stay happy af-ter West leads the heart three?

In the bidding, South had a close decision over one heart: double or one no-trump? The hand distribution suggests double, but one no-trump has the advantage of immedi-ately defining hand type and strength: balanced with heart stoppers and 15-plus to 18-mi-nus points.

Note West’s lead, the heart three, not the eight. When you attack in partner’s unsup-ported suit, lead high from a doubleton, low from a triple-ton.

South starts with only five top tricks: two spades, two hearts and one club. At first glance, it looks easy to estab-lish four diamond tricks and cruise home. But note that if South leads the diamond queen from his hand at trick two, he goes down because of the bad break.

Since East is marked with all of the missing high cards, declarer should play a spade to dummy’s king, then lead a low diamond from the dummy.

Here, East has to win with his ace, and South has 10 tricks: three spades, two hearts, four diamonds and one club. But if East could play a low diamond, after winning with his queen, declarer would then run the club jack, to take three spades, two hearts, one diamond and three clubs.

Fight Night against LeukemiaBY RENÉE JEANWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — When you have Leukemia, it can feel like you’re fighting in the dreary rain, but a little sunshine comes along, too, in the form of generosity.

Alyx Mersinger, 21, fell sick with leukemia when she was 36 weeks pregnant. She had a birth and a diagno-sis all in one day. That'd be enough to shake anyone to the core, but she has been lifted by the love and care of many around her.

"People have come out of the woodworks," she said. "It's very humbling. It's kind of shocking even. It's just so many people who care."

They came with prayers. They came with well wishes. And sometimes they came ready to put up a fight.

One of the latter is her uncle, Bruce Sesseman. The three-time Muay Thai world champion has decided to step into the ring on Fight Night May 30 at the Agri Sports Complex, located at 515 53rd St. E. Williston to help her raise money for unpaid medical expenses.

These easily total more than $20,000. On top of that, she cannot work right now because her immune system is too compromised, and the

treatments make her very tired.

"When they give you chemo, it breaks down your body," she explained. "I have no white blood cells, so I have no way to fight infec-tion. I literally have to be in a bubble, because if I came in contact with bronchitis or pneumonia, I could die."

For the fight, Sesseman will be dropped into the landing zone by air taxi, courtesy of his latest spon-sor, Bakken Air Taxi. Vanilla Ice is also coming to play in concert for the fight.

At the end of the event, tickets sold under Sesse-man's name will be tallied up and a check written for 20 percent will be presented to her in the Cage.

Tickets may be purchased online at cagetix.com. To have them count for Mers-inger, choose the PFC 9: Bakken Brawlers event, then select Bruce Sesseman as your fighter. Choose the ticket you want and place your order.

This fight is special be-cause of his niece, Sesseman says, and he will fight to come out on top — but it's not about winning or losing to him. Fighting to him is all about the larger scheme of life.

"Being a champion is not so much the titles you wear or the belts you have," Ses-seman said. "It's doing your best to be your best all the time. It's a way of life. "

Sesseman was teaching ESL classes in Thailand prior to his return to The Bakken, as well as training with the head senior grand master of Muay Thai in Thailand.

Sesseman is, as far as he knows, the first American student to have such an op-portunity, and he has been certified as an official "kru" which is Thai for teacher. He can open an authentic Muay Thai gym in the U.S., and he is in fact teaching classes at the Williston Fight Club on Main Street. That is one of several things he has been do-ing of late to earn money to return to his life in Thailand.

He returned to the Bak-ken to testify in the Horvath murder trial, but decided he needed to stay a little longer to pay off the friend who loaned him the $500 he needed for the travel Visa. That amount would be dif-ficult to repay in Thailand on an ESL teacher's salary, and the rules didn't permit the State Attorney's office to purchase such a delayed return ticket. Since then

family issues have arisen that are keeping him here longer than expected, too.

Sesseman found martial arts when he was 10 or 11. Or rather, the martial arts found him. He'd been caught holding his girlfriend's hand in the apple orchard one day, and her father wanted to have a few words with him about that.

The young lad knew he was in for it, but he didn't know the half of it. He was to meet the dad at the YMCA, and, when his girl-friend's father came out, the

man was wearing his mar-tial arts uniform, complete with a black belt.

Sesseman wasn't sure what to think right then, but ultimately he was given the most valuable lessons of his life. They were all about re-spect, discipline and honor.

"Being as I was in foster homes and children's homes, I'm not sure where I'd be now without that," he says. "But since then, it's taken me around the world and back a couple of times."

BY JIMMY GOLENAP SPORTS WRITER

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are preparing for a fight.

The reigning Super Bowl MVP will appeal his four-game suspension, his agent said, and the team threw its "unconditional" support behind its quar-terback after the NFL came down hard on its biggest star in the "Deflat-egate" scandal.

"Tom Brady has our un-conditional support," Patri-ots owner Bob Kraft said in a statement issued on Monday night. "Our belief in him has not wavered."

Five days after an NFL investigator reported that it was "more probable than not" that the Patriots broke the rules, the league handed down its punish-ment: Brady was banished for four games, and the Patriots were penalized $1 million — matching the largest fine in league histo-ry — and docked two draft picks for using improperly inflated footballs in the AFC Championship game.

NFL executive vice president of football op-erations Troy Vincent also indefinitely suspended the two equipment staffers who carried out the plan, including the one who referred to himself in text messages obtained by the league as "The Deflator."

In letters to the team and Brady, Vincent wrote that the league's investigation found "substantial and credible evidence" that the quarterback knew the employees were deflating footballs. It also said he failed to cooperate with investigators.

The investigation by attorney Ted Wells found that Brady "was at least generally aware" of plans by two Patriots employees to prepare the balls to his liking, below the league-mandated minimum of 12.5 pounds per square inch.

"Each player, no matter how accomplished and otherwise respected, has an obligation to comply with the rules," Vincent wrote.

Minnesota Twins' Aaron Hicks fields a shallow fly ball off the bat of Houston Astros' Robbie Grossman in the eighth inning of a baseball game, Saturday, June 7, 2014, in Minneapolis.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Twins are giving center fielder Aaron Hicks another shot at the major leagues.

The Twins' 2008 first-round pick is headed for Detroit for Tuesday's series opener against the Tigers. The 25-year-old outfielder was summoned from Class AAA Rochester Monday night.

Hicks is a .201 hitter in 150 major league games. The Star Tribune says he

was sent to the minors after frustrating the Twins with his lack of production and questionable effort.

In a March 10 game against Toronto in Dunedin, Florida, Hicks lost track of the number of outs while running the bases and man-ager Paul Molitor removed him in the fourth inning.

In Rochester, Hicks has raised his average to .336 this season, with two hom-ers, 14 RBI and 21 runs scored.

New Public School District #8 is proposing a $48,498,240 bond issue to build a new K-12 School. Located just outside the city limits, the 40-acre campus will provide all the amenities of the city yet maintain our country atmosphere and roots. This new campus has the potential to provide District 8 students and parents with a renewed school identity, sprit and pride! The bond will be paid back over a period of 30 years. The district has applied to receive a state school construction loan that, if received, will likely accrue interest below the going rates. If we receive the loan it would result in a lower levy.

Public meetings will be held to provide information pertaining to the new building project, followed by a question and answer session where the public can discuss questions and/or concerns regarding the project. Please join us at the following locations:

CREDIT CARD THEFTSA rash of stolen credit and

debit card information in the Watford City area has prompted law enforcement to warn residents to using caution when using cards.

“There have been numer-ous people in town that have reported their credit/debit card information stolen and used,” said Art Walgren, Watford City police chief.

“There are multiple vic-tims in the same local area. Most likely, the person or persons stealing this infor-mation is going to be local.”

The Watford City Police Department believes the most likely place this is occurring is where an individual’s credit or debit card is taken out of the per-son’s view for even a small amount of time.

“Thousands of dollars have been stolen,” Walgren said. “We really just want to let people know what is go-ing on so they are aware.”

The N.D. Bureau of Crimi-nal Investigations has taken the lead in the investigation because of the large amount and range of victims.

SOCCER LEADS PARKS BOOMThe Watford City Parks

and Recreation Program is experiencing a boom in the midst of the oil boom.

Since April, park and rec staff has increased from two to five, said coordinator Keith Larson.

“We now have a facilities manager for the new Events Center, an assistant grounds maintenance employee, and an assistant recreation coordinator.”

The five employees will help meet the demands of a growing population and new facilities.

Just this year the depart-ment has added new pro-grams including: Learning to Fish, Gracie Combatives (a Jiu-Jitsu training), Adult Outdoor Soccer, and Cheer-leading. It will also take over management of the Missoula Children’s Theatre program, has started adult indoor soccer and is grow-ing it’s flag football program

“Soccer has obviously seen the biggest increase in the last three years,” Larson said.

Now beginning its third year, the youth soccer pro-gram started with 88 kids, grew to 125 last year and has 220 registered this year.

FIXED OPERATOR IN TIOGAThe new Tioga Aero Cen-

ter has landed.A couple hundred people

from all over the state came out to celebrate the grand opening May 1 of the new fixed based operator at Tioga Municipal Airport.

The business serves gen-eral aviation traffic with car rentals, ground power units for starting aircraft, deicing equipment, full-service re-fueling, and a pilot’s lounge. The hope is that these ser-vices will draw in more air traffic, which usually goes to Williston for such services.

Mike Ames is one pilot who came to the event. He said he keeps his plane in Williston, but it may now be closer to store it in Tioga.

“What’s neat about the small airports, they really cater to general aviation,” Ames said.

Kyle Wanner, director of the state aeronautics com-mission said that with the growth of the oil industry, increased services to air travel will have an enor-mous impact “not only to Tioga but to surrounding communities.”

He also said new busi-nesses may find Tioga more appealing now that it has this growing asset to serve travelers. It’s one of the only small airports in the state with a runway over 5,000 feet, which is capable of ser-vicing corporate jet traffic.

The facility is owned by the Neset family of Tioga.

DUBIOUS DISTINCTIONA recent study suggests

Burke County is among the nation’s leaders in the rate of binge drinking.

The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation puts Burke County and three

other North Dakota counties in the top 10 nationally for binge drinking.

The study showed that binge drinking and heavy drinking have increased mainly because of higher rates of drinking among women. By contrast, the per-centage of people who drink any alcohol has remained relatively unchanged over time.

The study looked at 3,143 counties (or county equiva-lents) and found that Burke, with a 33 percent binge drinking rate, made the top 10.

Three other North Dakota counties were even worse, Nelson County at 33.5 per-cent, Steele County at 33.6 percent and Renville County at 34.2 percent.

The study says 26.7 percent of Burke County females and 39.5 percent of males are binge drinkers. To compare, the national aver-age in 2012 was 12.4 percent for females and 24.5 percent for males.

NEW TOWN BRACES It’s going to be a long sum-

mer and fall for the busi-nesses of New Town.

The long delayed Main Street project began in ear-nest last week and the street will be closed to through traffic for much of the sum-mer.

Still, New Town will re-main open for business this summer, said Roger Watson, project superintendent for Marschuetz Construction. He said the company plans to work closely with Main Street businesses to keep their doors open during construction and make sure their customers have access.

Watson said the scope of the project made it impos-sible to proceed without closing ND 23.

The first phase of the proj-ect not only will replace the street, sidewalks and light-ing, but the sewer and water mains as well. Watson said this is a major undertak-ing and will be the biggest time consuming part of the project.
