WILLISTON — With the word "boom" comes the word "bust," and, amid low oil prices and dropping rig counts in the Bakken, the latter has been a popular storyline to seek for some media.

Williston High School has made history. It has been 83 years since the school’s last groundbreaking.

Before ground was broken for the new and improved building, a ceremony was held at the auditorium at the present high school. People from all over the state were present as well as Mr. Germundson and fellow student Taya Helstad. Taya represented the first class

that will graduate from the new high school.

Our present high school will be used for grades five through eighth. The new high school will be used for grades nine through twelve. The new building is built for a capacity of 1,500 people. The new high school will provide plenty of hallway space and is also expandable.

It will have better technol-ogy with Wi-Fi in every room, plus most sports will be played on campus. There will be more programs available

for students to participate in. There will be better park-

ing for students and staff. The new high school will be three stories high. History and English will be located on the third floor. Math and science classes will be on the second floor, leaving FACS, languages, and Busi-ness on the first floor. The new school will not only be better because of its struc-ture, but there will also be more food options available.

The new high school is something to howl about!

New and improved high school: How excited are you?

Sophomore Wesley Allan Tyler Hutchinson moved to Williston from Misawa Air-base in Amori, Japan, where he was born. He moved around Japan as a child, but spent most of his life on the airbase.

The schooling in Japan is different from the schooling in America. In Japan, there was less communication from teacher to student. They also had breaks in between lessons.

Wesley moved to Williston two or three weeks before school began. In general, one of the biggest differ-ences between his life in Williston versus his life in Japan is that in Japan he rarely celebrated holidays.

This year, WHS has over 1,000 students and around 90 teachers/staff. Our school has a total of only 256 parking spots. Look-ing at the plans for the new high school under construc-tion, it seems there will be around 910 parking spots.

When asked if our school has received complaints about parking in the church parking lot (located behind the pool parking lot), Assistant Principal Audrey Larson responded, “Not usually. We will receive a phone call if there is a funeral and advise our students not to park in there, but other than that

there doesn’t seem to be a problem.” When asked if there was any issue with students parking in the teacher parking lot by the shop, Larson said, “Very rarely. If there are students parked in the teacher park-ing, we have them move their vehicle and pay a $15.00 fine.

Mrs. Patricia Lund, a retired band teacher who lives across from the high school, doesn’t seem to mind the students parking in the neighborhood near her home. “No, not at all,” said Lund, “In fact, during the summer I miss all the activity of the high school.”

Senior Austin Arneson spoke from the student

point of view. “I have no issues parking, but I would rather park in the pool parking lot.” Overall, it seems that that everyone has better parking condi-tions to look forward to at the new high school coming in 2016.

A ‘lot’ of problems or not?

DISCRIMINATION BILL: Politics a factor?FROM PAGE A1

Last week, Zent told the Grand Forks Herald that Dalrymple opposes “any

form of discrimination based on sexual orienta-tion.” Regarding SB2279, Zent told the newspaper

that they typically don’t comment on bills “until we see a final piece of legisla-tion.”

Thursday’s apparent departure from that policy was one of Carlson’s com-plaints.

“We’re very disappointed that he came out with an opinion on a bill that was never going to reach his desk,” he said.

Carlson also suggested political motives may have been a factor. Dalrymple hasn’t announced whether he’ll seek re-election next year, and his comments Thursday came the same day Republican governors in Indiana and Arkansas signed anti-discrimination legislation with hopes of quelling a firestorm of criticism that has rained down upon their states over religious objections laws.

“That tells me he’s run-ning for governor again,” Carlson said.

“This isn’t about what his political plans are,” Zent replied. “The governor was responding to action taken on the bill."

Selling a stationBen Vient/Courtesy photo

The Bahnorama wooden tower overlooking Vienna, Austria.

On the Rails

BY BEN VIENTFOR THE HERALD

Six stories above Vienna’s downtown, stands a simple wooden tower that looks built from centuries past. Centuries forward, is where city planners hope it will convince the Viennese to go. How does one community promote a new transporta-tion hub to the public in hopes of renovating its center?

The wooden tower stands in stark contrast to the mod-ern infrastructure emerging around it: The construction of Vienna’s new central train station. Originally approved in 2007 at a cost of approximately $1 billion, the rail project’s price tag has risen an additional 27 percent as the full opening date approaches.

The concept is massive. The financial stakes are huge. And it’s the work of one simple wooden tower to sell the station to the public.

At 219 feet tall, it is the highest walkable wooden tower in Europe. Inside, you’ll find a temporary mu-seum, known locally as the “Bahnorama,” that allows an impressive overview of the construction site: Di-verging rail lines, looming office buildings, 5000 new apartments, a 20 acre park and a school. (This entire new city district is expected to cost approximately $5 billion.)

It is a complete redesign of downtown Vienna, that began before the Great Recession curtailed many infrastructure projects globally. But not in Austria. The Austrian government, in response to the economic crisis, increased infra-structure projects. Dr. Karl Hartig, the project manager of the new Central Station, remembers being asked to tighten the construction timetable, so that more construction workers would be hired early on. “This project helped to bring down unemployment at a critical

time,” Dr. Hartig proudly asserts. (The International Monetary Fund and Euro-stat Statistics Office report that economic figures, in-cluding employment, turned negative in Austria in 2009, at the start of the Great Recession, but rebounded positively since 2010, the year this construction proj-ect began.)

At the time of the 2010 station groundbreaking, Europe was calling for austerity in response to the economic crisis. Viennese city planners feared losing public support for this proj-ect, the largest public works project in Austria’s history. Behold the wooden tower, designed by Rahm architek-ten, which opened in 2010 at a cost of just more than $6 million.

Walk inside, and the tow-er’s exhibition space is col-orful and lively. Video instal-lations project a changing skyline; interactive displays herald reduced travel times. The walls showcase deter-mined answers to direct questions, such as: “Why do we need a main station?” (Development), “What does the construction mean to us neighbors?” (Noise), “How many new jobs will be cre-ated?” (20,000) and “Who pays for this?” (Apparently, everyone and anyone).

(Interestingly, the ex-hibits predominantly use English, despite this being a German-speaking country. Part of Vienna’s plan is that regional businesses will consider this Central Euro-pean location for headquar-ters, or as a regular meeting point.)

As animated as all this is, planners realize they need real people to build public support for the station, and they created this space in part to allow rail fans to congregate.

Volker Truchess, 65, a retiree neighbor of the sta-tion, towering in a cardi-gan and wool cap, dashes through the exhibit “at least weekly” to show visiting

family and friends what he considers “a very important development for the city.”

“Worth all the money?” I ask him.

“Absolutely.” “No question?” I attempt. “No question,” he es-

pouses while directing me to a child-like display that figures for every one euro invested in this project, two euros will return.

Thomas Lintz, 26, ap-pears around the corner, shaking one or two of those euros in his pocket. After an afternoon of shopping, he has stopped by to see the displays for the first time. He admits that the exhibit’s positive spin has made him neutral about the new central station, which he at first considered too costly. “It does all look great, yes,” he hesitates. “I’m skeptical of the project costs, because politics and government can seem so corrupt. Is this exhibition saying that these will indeed be the final costs, and can we hold them accountable if costs go higher?”

It’s a clear, sunny day. The view from the elevated platform at the top of the wooden tower is revealingly impressive. But Lintz turns the other way: “I wanted to go to the top to understand it better,” he says, “but I decided not to, because the elevator ride up costs 2.50 eu-ros.” (approximately $2.75)

The city of Vienna erected the wooden tower to sell this rail project to the public. It continues to have a sales job to perform, indeed.

Hop on-board the dining car, here “On the Rails” next Sunday, April 12.

current commodity price en-vironment," she said. "The value of those reserves, combined with the quality of the long-term commer-cial agreements attached to the assets, which are mostly fee-based and long-term in nature, and the strength of our customers, make these assets valuable even in the current environment."

Kinder Morgan's purchase hasn't been the only long-term multi-million dollar bet placed in the Bakken despite a low-price oil environment.

Pembina Pipeline, for

example, announced in Feb-ruary that it plans to spend $85 million to expand the $650 million Vantage pipe-line system it acquired in September of last year. That 430-mile line links ethanes in the Bakken to petrochem-ical markets in Alberta.

Pembina's expansion will take the pipeline from 40,000 barrels per day to 68,000, with a projected in-service date of 2016, and it's just one of several multi-million dollar pipeline projects still be on the drawing boards through 2016. A few of these include the Sandpiper proj-

ect, a $2.6 billion line that would pass through North Dakota on its way to Wiscon-sin, and the Dakota Access, a $3.7 billion line that would run from Stanley to existing pipelines in Patoka, Illinois.

Vantage, by the way, origi-nates at the Hess Corpora-tion's Tioga gas plant, which has a long-term agreement with Nova Chemicals to deliver it ethanes.

Hess had said earlier this year that it will spend $1.8 billion in the Bakken, operating 9.5 rigs. That com-pares to the $2 billion the company spent in 2014.

BIG PLAYS: Billions being spent by industryFROM PAGE A1

BY MIKE NOWATZKIFORUM NEWS SERVICE

BISMARCK — House Majority Leader Al Carlson says North Dakota lawmak-ers don’t want “a war” over legislation designed to ensure that Sanford Health Plan matches the existing health coverage for public employees when their plan switches July 1.

“We just want them to be the same,” he said.

But testimony to the Senate Human Services Committee this past week left little doubt: If sena-tors approve House Bill 1475 as it passed the House last month, a legal battle awaits.

“I think this will be the mother of all lawsuits,” said Sen. John Warner, D-Ryder, a committee mem-ber.

The board of the North Dakota Public Employ-ees Retirement System voted Feb. 19 to switch the group’s coverage to San-ford Health Plan from Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota, which has held the contract for 37 years.

The six-year deal has an estimated value of $610 million to $640 million over the first two years.

House and Senate leaders quickly drafted a bipar-tisan bill requiring San-ford Health Plan to meet certain terms to ensure that benefits and provider networks remain relatively comparable for the roughly 66,000 public employees, re-tirees and their dependents insured through NDPERS.

The House amended the bill and approved it 77-14 on March 26, sending it to the Senate.

During Tuesday’s hear-ing in the Senate commit-tee, members heard strong opposition from Sanford Health Plan officials and NDPERS board chairman Jon Strinden.

Strinden said the unani-mous decision to award the bid to Sanford Health Plan was the result of an exten-sive review by the board, its staff and consultants over a seven-month period.

Sanford Health Plan pro-posed a 15 percent overall increase in premiums for 2015-17 to maintain the NDPERS plan as fully in-sured, compared to roughly a 20 percent increase in the Blues’ bid, Strinden said.

“We knew the network was not identical, we knew the authorization procedure was different and we knew that Sanford Health Plan was owned by Sanford Health,” he stated in written testimony. “We could have used these same reasons to turn down the Sanford bid and ask you for more funds than what was in the executive budget. If that would have been the case, then today we may have been discussing plan

design changes, including a reduction in benefits.”

Paul Richard, president of Sanford Health Fargo, testified that the bill im-poses new obligations not intended throughout the bid process and contract negotiations, and not in-cluded in the contract.

“Consequently, the bill causes an immediate breach of the NDPERS con-tract, potentially exposing the state to contract dam-ages,” he stated in written testimony.

The legislation requires NDPERS to rebid the con-tract if complying with the terms of the bill increases the accepted bid by more than $5 million.

WICKCOMMUNICATIONS

Today is Easter Sunday, April 5, the 95th day of 2015. There are 270 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlights in History:

On April 5, 1965, “My Fair Lady” won the Academy Award for best picture, and one of its stars, Rex Harrison, was named best actor; Julie Andrews won best actress for “Mary Poppins.” The single version of The Beach Boys’ “Help Me, Rhonda” was released by Capitol Records.

On this date:

In 1764, Britain’s Parlia-ment passed The Ameri-can Revenue Act of 1764, also known as The Sugar Act.

In 1887, in Tuscumbia, Alabama, teacher Anne Sullivan achieved a breakthrough as her 6-year-old deaf-blind pu-pil, Helen Keller, learned the meaning of the word “water” as spelled out in the Manual Alphabet. British historian Lord Acton wrote in a letter, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power cor-rupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.”

In 1895, Oscar Wilde lost his criminal libel case against the Mar-quess of Queensberry, who’d accused the writer of homosexual practices.

In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order creating the Civilian Con-servation Corps and an anti-hoarding order that effectively prohibited pri-vate ownership of gold.

After numerous appeals to public opinion and a full-court press to the county’s ruling bodies, Stropiq’s $500 million multi-use retail and residential project reaches its judgement day Tuesday.

The Stropiq project gives the Williston County Com-mission plenty to consider.

To the casual observer, the project is a no-brainer: 1 million square feet of retail with space for a long-await-ed and highly-touted big box store. More housing, more shopping and more offices.

But it’s anything but a black and white issue when the moving parts and differ-ent pieces of the planning and approval stages are broken down.

We support the growth of Williston and Williams County to accommodate quality of life improve-ments, so long as it’s the right type of growth. In the case of Stropiq, we feel the project is a $500 million dilemma for local govern-ment, all things considered.

On paper, the project is a great addition to the community, but we feel the county commissioners need to take into account the fol-lowing issues before casting a vote Tuesday, in order to make sure Stropiq’s growth plan is right for Williston and Williams County now and moving forward:

• The first has to be a con-sideration of history. Me-nards was announced and approved for Sand Creek Town Centre in 2011, mak-ing it the darling project of the city. Four years later, the store is finally close to opening after a process that took longer than any of us could have dreamed. Men-ards was brought in by an experienced developer and city tax breaks to suppos-edly smoothen the moving

process. As the case in Williston, things were more complicated. If Stropiq is approved and gains the in-terest of the big box stores in demand, how long are we realistically looking before shopping carts are on the ground? The county needs to assess if there’s enough momentum in the retail sec-tor to move forward.

• Commissioners also need to heed the city’s concerns and work together on projects near current and future city limits. If there’s dissent from Plan-ning Director Kent Jarcik, consider this: The city has platted retail space that is shovel-ready in Sand Creek, Chandler Field, North Star, north of Walmart, a future site possibly at the current airport location, and more that we’re probably missing. Public funds have gone into providing city infrastructure to those projects, so we see the city’s reasoning behind questioning an additional 200 acres of retail space.

• The county may not be the final approving body needed to break ground. If the city expands through annexation, Stropiq could end up falling into the 1 mile extra-territorial juris-diction of the Williston City Commission. If it opposes the project, then we’re set up for a city-county feud.

• Stropiq’s trip to a Las Ve-gas retail conference likely gave its investors confidence they were in the right place, but we haven’t seen the notion those retailers were ready to sign on the dotted line as soon as land becomes available. And that’s bother-some, because between the economy and dot-com boom, it isn’t easy to be a retail store in this market. Target knows every square inch of the projects in Williston, but after building 30-40 stores a year, the company lost its CEO and dramatically scaled back additions as profits fell. We don’t have insight to what talks have happened since that confer-

ence, so maybe things have changed, but the nation-wide economic cycle is not a kind one to build big box retail in. Not to mention the dot-com outlets have basi-cally led to the death of the American shopping mall as we know it.

• And what may ulti-mately hurt the project is its location. We understand Stropiq’s reasoning in not wanting to set up shop at the current airport and further clog Million Dollar Way, but the city has land ready to go when the airport is gone, and some very capable developers ready to get to work on 800 acres in the middle of town. Wil-liston Crossing is located about 5 miles from the cen-ter of town with very few rooftops adjacent. That’s a detractor, because rooftops equal retail, and the county already voted down some expansion opportunities at Dakota Ridge, just down the road from the proposal.

• The county commis-

sion’s own debate on the project a week ago came off so personal that it would have made an old married couple blush. Dan Kalil and Martin Hanson have been slow to vote on any change in the past, while David Montgomery can claim the role as the board’s progres-sive voice. On top of that, Wayne Aberle holds a posi-tion at Mountrail-Williams, which by default would take the power contract—a large and important one for the company—for Stropiq. Just on the voting board we have personal feelings and professional gain in play, rather than a simple look at what’s best.

Then there’s the smaller issues to consider in this process. There’s worry the water line extending to Ray will not be able to handle the capacity of a retail and residential project as large as Williston Crossing. The city has to consider how to expand water and sewer out to the new airport site, and also work on its stance not to clog the upcoming truck bypass.

• That leads us back to the original question: Is this the right type of growth? The question has to be asked among commissioners if Williston Crossing is viable or just watering down what we already have? There’s no easy answer, really. North Star appears it will be lucky to do more than move the millions of dollars of dirt that is has so far, but Stropiq has a track record in Russia and investors who have lined New York City’s streets. Do we benefit by approving a massive retail piece during low oil prices and a bad retail economy, when it could be years until a store breaks ground?

A new rule concerning chemicals used during the hydraulic fracturing process, issued last week by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management, is a classic example of federal over-reach. The reason — states and industry has already figured out a way to monitor the process.

The rule which goes into effect June 1, comes after a review of more than 1.5 million submitted com-ments. It's meant to address energy development on public and tribal lands. The rule includes require-ments publicly disclosing chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing within 30 days of the completion of a well.

Gov. Jack Dalrymple said "We need to take action," adding that the rules, "could interfere with the work of the state's water commission and health department."

Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said lawmakers approved $1 million during the last legislative session . for litigation on issues such as fracking regulation. On Tuesday, the North Da-kota Industrial Commission voted to join Wyoming in a lawsuit challenging the rule.

The irony is that the rule requires companies drill-ing for oil and gas to use FracFocus.org to disclose chemicals used when hydraulic fracturing takes place on public land. The website is already being used by at least 16 oil- and gas-producing states.

The site gathers well-spe-

cific data to track chemicals used during the fracking por-tion of the well development process for tens of thousands of drilling sites across the country. Nearly 95,000 wells nationwide have already been registered on the site.

The purpose of FracFo-cus.org is to provide public transparency to ensure groundwater supplies are properly protected. The site was formed by industry and intergovernmental groups in 2011. It was a sensible move — the public has a right to know what chemi-cals are used, and that the fracking process is safe.

Now, federal officials are requiring states to duplicate an existing process by man-dating use of FracFocus.org as a reporting site for wells drilled on federal land. It does little more than regu-lating something already being regulated effectively at the state level.

States have in the past, and continue to be, bet-ter positioned to monitor energy development in their respective geographies. Implementing rules able to take into consideration unique geologic and hydro-logic conditions, on a state-by-state basis, is a more effective approach than a one size fits all approach.

With an effective process already in place to track fracking chemicals at the state level, federal officials would be wise to focus on areas of need not currently being addressed.

New hydraulic fracturing rule is a redundant one

BY JONATHAN KNUTSONFORUM NEWS SERVICE

RAY — Wayne Hauge says he's "mostly your typical northwest North Dakota farmer."

But the Ray producer also is a staunch supporter of industrial hemp, and a new state law is expected to help him and other North Dakota farmers start growing the crop, perhaps as soon as 2016.

"It's a crop that makes a lot of sense for North Da-kota," Hauge says.

He and other supporters, including the state agricul-ture commissioner and a state legislator and farmer, say raising industrial hemp in North Dakota can help farmers diversify and also will reduce U.S. reliance on imports.

Gov. Jack Dalrymple, a Re-publican, signed a bill into law earlier this month that will boost the state's com-mercial hemp industry.and reduce the federal govern-ment's involvement in the state's licensing process.

House Bill 1436 creates guidelines for the state's industrial hemp program and allows people to apply

to grow the crop for either commercial or resource purposes. Legalized hemp farming in North Dakota was legal under existing state legislation, but con-cern about federal penal-ties for growing the crop discouraged farmers from doing it.

North Dakota is one of 13 states with laws estab-lishing commercial hemp programs, according to the website of the National Conference of State Legis-latures.

Five of the 13 -- Colorado, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vermont -- already implement their hemp laws. North Dakota will become the sixth.

AG DEPARTMENT'S ROLEDoug Goehring, state

agriculture commissioner, says the new law expands on provisions in the 2014 fed-eral farm bill, approved last year, that support limited cultivation of industrial hemp. Now, his department has greater ability to issue licenses and to monitor and test hemp grown in the state.

He says he's optimistic

about industrial hemp's future in the state. He also says more research, much of it conducted at North Dakota State University, is needed to better develop commercial opportunities for the crop.

Such research, routinely conducted for all crops, is especially important for crops new to an area, he says.

For instance, "We still have a lot to learn about what varieties (of industrial hemp) will work best in dif-ferent soil types," he says.

The state ag department will work with both farm-ers and researchers to build North Dakota's industrial hemp industry, he says.

CONFUSION WITH MARIJUANA

A key provision of the new state law says "the license required by this section is not conditioned on or subject to review or approval by the United States drug enforcement agency," the law states.

Hemp contains trace amounts of tetrahydro-cannabinol (or THC), the same hallucinogen found in marijuana, causing the federal government to classify hemp as an illegal drug under the Controlled Substances Act, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

But industrial hemp supporters, including Sen. Tom Campbell, R-Grafton, a farmer who sponsored HB 1436 in the state Sen-ate, says that classifica-tion doesn't make sense.

"You can't get high on hemp," he says.

The website of the North American Industrial Hemp Council has this to say:

"Due to the similar leaf shape, hemp is frequently confused with marijuana. Although both plants are from the species cannabis, hemp contains virtually no THC, the active ingredi-ent in marijuana.

Hemp cannot be used as a drug because it produces virtually no THC (less than 1 percent), where marijuana produces between 5 to 20 percent THC."

Some people mistakenly equate industrial hemp with medical marijuana, Campbell says.

MANY USESIndustrial hemp can be

used to make food, fuel, fabric, plastics, construc-tion materials, textiles and paper.

The Washington, D.C.-based Hemp Industries Association, a nonprofit trade association, estimated 2014 U.S. retail sales of hemp products at $620 million. The products ranged from soaps and lotions to auto parts and building materials.

Campbell says industrial hemp has a long, productive history in the U.S., and notes that the U.S. Constitution was drafted on hemp paper.

The crop still has an important role to play, especially since America is using more and more industrial hemp, most of it imported from Canada, he says.

"They're growing it in Canada, and we can grow in North Dakota, too. Why should we import it when we can grow it here?" Camp-bell says.

He and other supporters say industrial hemp can be a niche crop that North Dakota farmers raise in rotation with other crops, benefitting both their bot-tom line and the long-term health of their soil.

Crop prices in general

have plunged, making po-tential alternatives such as industrial hemp even more attractive, Campbell says.

He's interested in someday growing industrial hemp as a rotational crop on his own farm.

Rep. David Monson, R-Osnabrock, who was not immediately available for comment. also was a leader in passing the new state law. Monson, a farmer, is a long-time supporter of industrial hemp. He and Hauge have been at the forefront of ef-forts to raise it in the state.

TOO LATE FOR 2015North Dakota's 2015 plant-

ing season is kicking off, and it's too late for farmers to consider planting indus-trial hemp this year, Hauge says.

Seed availability will be factor in when, and how much of, the crop is planted. Farmers also need to learn more about how to raise and handle it, just as they would with any new crop, support-ers say.

But some North Dakota farmers potentially could plant industrial hemp in the spring of 2016, Hauge says.

Whatever the timing, in-dustrial hemp has a bright future, he says.

"This crop can be good for North Dakota," he says.

New North Dakota hemp law pleases supporters Farmers could plant it as soon as 2016, but more research crucial

Dylan Lovan/Associated Press

A close-up view of a hemp plant cut down on Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2014, at a University of Kentucky farm near Lexington. The close cousin to marijuana is seen as a potential cash crop in the state. The long-banned crop's advocates hope it’s the start of turning hemp mainstream.

mist, says that’s probably because it still seems like a “far off opportunity.” A total of about 100 people — half of them farmers — attended a set of five recent meetings in central North Dakota.

WALHALLA — A Michi-gan couple who survived a 30-hour ordeal in a stranded car during a blizzard more than 37 years ago are say-ing thanks to the Pembina County road crew that res-cued them.

William and Mary Reichert, who live in Howell, Mich., recently sent a pair of $1,000 cashier's checks, which tentatively are sched-uled to be presented Tuesday to the two county highway department employees, James (Jimmy) Doyle and Brian Danielson.

While the Reicherts cannot be in Cavalier for the presen-tation, they said they remain grateful for their efforts by the two men whom they credit with saving their lives on Dec. 9, 1977.

The couple sent a thank-you note in the form of a letter to the editor to the Cavalier Chronicle after they made it safely back to Michigan. Then, they went back to their lives.

Bill Reichert, who retired a few years ago from a career at General Motors, now is a computer technol-ogy teacher at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Mich.

The Reicherts recently discussed that blizzard experience during a Lenten discussion at their church.

"We were talking about faith, and about any re-ligious experiences that changed our lives spiritually, or strengthened our faith," Bill Reichert said in a tele-phone interview this week.

"All this time is passed," he said. "I've been thinking I didn't do enough to thank them. We were right on the end. We were just about frozen stiff. These men saved our lives."

THE STORMY TRIPThe Reicherts had been on

a ski trip in Manitoba and made a stop in Winnipeg, where Mary's sister lives. It wasn't storming when they left Winnipeg in their two-wheel-drive Chevy Suburban on Dec. 8, 1977.

Because fuel prices were much higher in Canada, Reichert wanted to make it to Grand Forks to fill the tank.

"It was extremely cold out," he said. "We got to the border and all of a sudden, a storm raged. I could not see 2 feet in front of us. Semis were passing us and then I couldn't see at all ahead."

Then, the alternator light lit up on the dashboard.

At the border, the two-laned Manitoba Highway 75 changed to Interstate 29, which had just opened to four lanes north of Grand Forks to Pembina, N.D., earlier that year.

He looked at the map and saw St. Thomas, west of I-29. When he saw a highway sign that read "St. Thomas ... Exit 1 mile," he figured he was going to make it.

What he didn't realize was that while the "exit" was a mile away, St. Thomas actu-ally was another 12 miles to the west.

Nonetheless, they took the exit and started driv-ing westbound on Pembina County Road 11.

"The wind was blowing so hard, I couldn't see a thing," he said. "And there were big snowdrifts on the road."

THE LONG WAITThey stopped and tried to

turn around."We ended up in the ditch

with the back end pointed north," he said. "There was barely any gas and the alter-nator light was on. I turned off the ignition to save gas, but the battery was dead. It wouldn't start."

The wind blew through the rear doors of the vehicle, creating what Reichert called a giant drift in the back of the Suburban, he said.

"We did have somewhat warm clothes, from skiing," he said. "In the middle of the night, the storm was still raging. Even without the windchill, it was minus-35 or minus-40 degrees.

"We were not in very good shape," he said.

When the storm began to let up early the next day, they noticed a light flickering off in the distance.

"We thought it was a house, so I got out to walk," he said. "Then, I realized it wasn't a house.

It was a small granary with a light outside in the yard. I realized I was freezing and I wasn't going anywhere, so I went back to the truck."

On his way back to the ve-hicle, Reichert said he took his skis and placed them in the form of an X in the middle of the road. He also grabbed two trunks, or large suitcases, and placed them in the road.

"I was hoping if anybody got anywhere close to us, that they would see the skis and would find us," he said.

When he got back to the vehicle, the Reicherts started to pray. It had been about 30 hours since they had become stranded.

"Maybe I wasn't as reli-gious then as I am today, but we prayed," he said. "Amazingly, shortly after we started praying together, a snowplow comes down the road. They saw the skis.

"The driver said, 'I never go down this road until three or four days after a blizzard,' Reichert said. "But he did

that time."

THE RESCUEIt was the third day of the

blizzard, and Doyle's boss said he better make a path down County 11.

Doyle, who was in his late 30s at the time and a veteran on the road crew, was driv-ing the snowplow, a large V-plow used to cut through large drifts. Fellow employee Brian Danielson, who was about half his age, was rid-ing shotgun.

"It was still storming pretty bad," Doyle said. "You drove into a snowbank and you could get stuck. You had to get out and shovel your way out and then take another run at it."

They had made it more than half of the way to I-29 when they saw something in the road.

"There were skis and a couple of suitcases right in the road," he said.

As they got closer, they saw the Suburban. The Reicherts immediately started running toward the plow.

"Those people were really scared. They came out of their truck crying, without any shoes on," Doyle said. "When they opened that door, I was smiling. I didn't want to go up there and open that car door. I didn't want to know what we would find. They're lucky they didn't die out there in the storm. That would be scary, being out there with no heat."

Doyle and Danielson gave the Reicherts a ride in to Drayton, then plowed their way back to the Suburban, leading a tow truck to haul the vehicle back to the ser-vice station.

"I don't know how they could do it, sit in that car night and day, freezing," Doyle said. "All you can do is just sit there and think."

Unlikely rescue: Couple sends checks to men who saved them in 1977 blizzard

James Doyle, a retired snowplow driver for Pembina County, will re-ceive a $1,000 check from a Michigan couple for rescuing them more than 37 years ago in a blizzard near St. Thomas.

the 1930s and drew con-troversy over the decades until August 2005 when the NCAA deemed the name "hostile and abusive" and threatened sanctions.

After a long legal battle, the NCAA refused to back down and the name was retired in December 2012. Around the time a legisla-tively mandated morato-rium that kept the school from picking a new logo expired almost two years later, President Robert Kelley appointed a task force that spent about four months gathering feedback from the public.

That task force originally aimed to complete their work in December 2014 but pushed the deadline and published a report a

month later. The task force recommended a group of stakeholders be appointed to gather more public input before vetting and narrow-ing down the list of ideas to a certain few.

The 11-person commit-tee, which began its work March 10, has deviated from the task force's plan by allowing the final name to be chosen by public vote, instead of the committee it-self after a series of public votes.

But exactly how the pro-cess will work is unclear. The committee consisting of various stakeholders in-cluding alumni, university employees and students, decided on a series of at-tributes that will be used to judge the name ideas, but not whether they'll be weighted a certain way.

Nuns and faithful hold candles as they attend the Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) torchlight procession celebrated by Pope Francis in front of the Colosseum on Good Friday, in Rome, Friday, April 3, 2015.

BY FRANCES D'EMILIOASSOCIATED PRESS

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis, presiding at the traditional Good Friday Colosseum procession, decried what he called the "complicit silence" about the killing of Christians.

The evening, torch-lit ceremony at the ancient arena recalls the suffer-ing and death of Jesus by crucifixion.

After listening silently, often with head bowed and eyes tightly shut, to reflec-tions read aloud about Jesus' suffering, Francis

pressed what lately has been an urgent concern of his papacy -- the pres-ent-day martyrdom of Christians in parts of the Middle East, Africa and elsewhere.

"We see, even today, our brothers persecuted, beheaded and crucified, for their faith in you, in front of our eyes or often with our complicit silence," he said, as he prayed.

A few hours earlier, Fran-cis had condemned the deadly attack by Islamic militants targeting Chris-tians at a Kenyan univer-sity. Earlier this year he denounced the murder in

Libya of 21 Coptic Chris-tians by Islamic State-affil-iated militants, saying they were slain simply for being Christian. And he has lamented how Christians in parts of the Middle East have been forced to flee their ancient communities to escape persecution.

Among those chosen to take turns carrying the lightweight, slender cross in the procession were faithful from Iraq, Syria, Nigeria, Egypt and China.

One of the prayers dur-ing the procession called for the "fundamental right of religious freedom" to

spread throughout the world.

In another reflection, a lector said "our conscience is troubled. We anxiously ask: When will the death penalty, still practiced in many states, be abolished?" There was also an appeal for the end of all torture.

Tens of thousands of tourists, pilgrims and Ro-mans held candles as they joined in the prayers on a warm night.

Francis will celebrate Easter vigil Mass Saturday night in St. Peter's Ba-silica. On Easter Sunday morning, he will celebrate Mass in St. Peter's Square.

CAIRO (AP) — Hard-liners in Iran and the Israeli government both con-demned the framework deal on curbing Tehran's nuclear program on Friday, from opposite directions but for the same reason: The agree-ment, they said, gives away too much.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the understandings fail to outright shut down any of Iran's nuclear facilities, while legitimizing its ura-nium enrichment program and leaving it with an infra-structure that could eventu-ally be capable of producing a bomb.

He warned the deal "threatens the very sur-vival" of Israel, and put forward a new demand, that any final deal include Iran's recognition of Israel's right to exist.

Iran's powerful hard-liners, meanwhile, pointed to the heavy restrictions that would effectively lock those facilities and enrich-ment into a slow, low gear for at least a decade. They accused the government of moderate President Hassan Rouhani of surrendering a nuclear program that Iran has boasted for years dem-onstrates its technological prowess, self-sufficiency and defiance of the West.

"We gave up a race-ready horse and we got in return a broken bridle," Hossein Shariatmadari, an adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatol-lah Ali Khamenei and editor of the hard-line Kayhan newspaper, told the semi-official Fars news agency.

The reactions under-score the pressures that will weigh on Western and Iranian negotiators as they now work to turn the broad understandings into a detailed accord by June 30 — and raise questions about how far detractors on both sides will go to try to prevent a final agreement.

Or if they can. The frame-work won praise from West-ern governments and from many in Iran who want its provisions for the lifting of sanctions that have long crippled the economy.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who signed the agreement Thursday, received a hero's welcome upon his return to Tehran from the latest round of talks in Lausanne, Switzerland. Crowds of cheering supporters sur-rounded Zarif's vehicle on Friday as he stood out of its sun-roof shaking hands with them. Some chanted sarcas-tic condolences to both Israel and Iranian hard-liners. Celebrations continued into the night, with hundreds of flag-waving supporters sing-ing and dancing in Tehran's main squares.

In a speech to the nation, Rouhani vowed that Irani-ans will "remain loyal and stand by the promises" they made.

Much depends on Iran's supreme leader, Khamenei, who holds the final say on all political matters. There was no immediate comment from him Friday to judge how he was leaning on the framework understandings. From the start, Khamenei expressed skepticism the negotiations would succeed, but he allowed them to go on.

A key U.S. ally, Saudi Arabia, appeared to be withholding judgment. The Sunni kingdom, which is a major rival to Shiite-led Iran, has feared an agree-ment would leave Tehran within reach of one day building a nuclear bomb and would indirectly legiti-mize Tehran's power around the Middle East. Speaking to President Barack Obama by phone late Thursday, Saudi King Salman expressed his hope that "a binding final deal is reached that leads to the strengthening of the region's security and stabil-ity," according to the Saudi state news agency.

BY RACHEL ZOLLAP RELIGION WRITER

NEW YORK (AP) — Con-servative faith leaders have made religious liberty a rallying cry as gay marriage has spread throughout the states. And though stunned by Indiana's retreat from a religious freedom law after an uproar over same-sex marriage, they vow not to give up.

Evangelical and Roman Catholic leaders say they will continue their push for conscience protections from laws they consider immoral — a drive that gained mo-mentum several years ago when they saw their beliefs on marriage, abortion and other issues increasingly in the minority.

Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore, who leads the religious liberty commit-tee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said the bishops' goals have not changed following the uproar this week in Indi-ana and to a lesser degree Arkansas.

"Individual or family-owned businesses as well as religious institutions should have the freedom to serve others consistent with their

faith," Lori said in a state-ment.

Similarly, the Rev. Russell Moore, who leads the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, said, "We have to continue to press for religious liberty for everybody regardless of how unpopular that concept might be."

Still, Tim Schultz, presi-dent of the 1st Amendment Partnership, which works with religious groups and state lawmakers on religious liberty, said after this week's controversy over religious freedom, "the brand has defi-nitely been tarnished."

The governors of Indiana and Arkansas signed bills Thursday hoping to quiet the national outcry over wheth-er the laws offered a legal defense for discrimination against gays. In Arkansas, the changes more closely aligned the bill with the 1993 federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The Indiana law was amended to bar a religious liberty defense by for-profit businesses accused of discrimination for refus-ing to serve someone based on sexual orientation, but left in place protections for faith-based nonprofits.

Religious liberty was once an issue that consistently united groups across the political and theological spec-trum. But religious conserva-tives came to adopt religious freedom as a call to arms, as they found themselves more and more on the losing side of the culture wars.

A decade ago, the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a public interest law firm in Washington, convened legal scholars from across the ideological divide on gay marriage to examine potential areas where reli-gious freedom and gay rights might clash.

First Amendment protec-tions for worship are secure. But complications arise when faith-affiliated orga-nizations, such as charities, hospitals and schools, try to maintain their religious identity even as large employers of people from all faiths and providers of services to the public.

The 2005 Becket meeting generated a book, "Same-Sex Marriage and Religious Lib-erty: Emerging Conflicts," and a subsequent policy pa-per that became influential among church-state experts and religious leaders closely

watching the issue.Four years later, a coali-

tion of evangelical, Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christian leaders, citing the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," unveiled the "Manhat-tan Declaration: The Call of Christian Conscience." It pledged civil disobedience to government laws they said would compel them to violate their views.

By 2011, the Catholic bishops' conference had formed its own religious liberty committee and started organizing rallies and prayer services around the issue. The same year, the 1st Amendment Partnership was formed to work with state lawmakers.

"I think it's fair to say the faith groups saw storm clouds on the horizon," said the partnership's Schultz.

The movement had its greatest victory to date last year, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Hobby Lob-by arts and crafts chain and other closely held businesses with religious objections could opt out of providing the contraceptive coverage required by the Affordable Care Act.

Religious freedom fight over gay marriage will persist

Santana is banned 80 gamesTwins pitcher is suspended for positive drug test

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — The Minnesota Twins spent $55 million on Ervin Santana to bring some much-needed talent and experience to their beleaguered starting rota-tion.

Now, thanks to an 80-game suspen-sion for testing positive for a banned substance, the Twins will be without their biggest offseason acquisition for half the season. And their pitch-ing staff has become a major ques-

tion mark once again.Santana was suspended by Major

League Baseball on Friday after test-ing positive for the perfor-mance-enhancing substance Stanozolol.

“It’s disappointing. It’s difficult,” Twins GM Terry Ryan said. “We had a fairly decent spring. Now we’ve got to regroup here and hopefully it won’t affect us as we move forward.”

In a statement released through the players’ union, Santana said he was surprised by the news but does not plan to appeal. New to the Twins this year, he’ll miss the first half of the season.

This was the third penalty for a

positive Stanozolol test reported by MLB in the last eight days, follow-ing Seattle pitcher David Rollins

and Atlanta pitcher Arodys Vizcaino.

A person familiar with the penalties told The Associ-ated Press that MLB will look into whether there’s a common source to the three cases. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is

not finished.Santana signed a four-year con-

tract with the Twins after pitching last season with Atlanta and was slotted in the No. 2 spot behind Phil Hughes in a rotation that has been among the worst in the majors the

last four years. The 32-year-old righty will lose

$5,901,639 of his $13.5 million salary this season.

In his statement, Santana issued his “deepest apologies” to his family, fans, colleagues, teammates and the Twins.

“I am very disappointed that I tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug. I am frustrated that I can’t pinpoint how the substance in question entered my body. I would never knowingly take anything illegal to enhance my performance. What I can guarantee is I never knowingly took anything illegal to enhance my performance. That’s just not me, never has been and never will,” Santana said.

How do I sum up the last 6 years?

How do I sum up the last six years into a single newspaper

column?Well, that is the task before

me this week.Tuesday will mark my

sixth year at the Williston Herald.

And what a run it’s been.There have been many,

coworkers come and go dur-ing my time. Most of whom, I consider friends.

There are many people still in the commu-nity that I consider to be friends. There are way too many to mention. And even if I did men-tion them by name, I am certain that I would leave someone out.

I have always told those around me that 20 years from now when I write a book about my experiences as a journal-ist, I will devote multiple chapters to my time in Wil-liston.

My experience here has been so interesting that I may have to write an entire book about my experience in Williston. And I mean that as a complement.

So how do I sum up the last six years?

This might have to be the most difficult column I have had to write.

As I have reflected back on my time here, there have been three significant de-velopments in the Williston sports scene that have taken place.3)WilliStoNAReARecRe-AtioNceNteR

Lady Tetons roll to twin bill sweepWSC beats DCB 10-0 and 11-2By MaRk JoneSWiLLiSTon HErALd

WILLISTON — At long last, the Williston State College Lady Tetons softball team finally got to play at home.

And Williston State made the most of it.

Two days after having a home game with the Univer-sity of Jamestown JV wiped out due to weather, the Lady Tetons came out swinging in Friday’s Mon-Dak Confer-

ence opener.

The Lady Tetons scored early and often en route to a 10-0 win in five in-

nings over the Lady Lumber-jacks in the opener.

The Lady Tetons got a two-run double by Jalen Creech in the second inning to get the Lady Teton offense going.

Williston State plated three more runs in third as Miranda Schulz, Myria Riffel and Emily Cairns had RBI singles.

Creech earned the win for Williston State as she pitched the complete game, and allowed three this over the final three innings.

In Friday’s nightcap, the Lady Tetons used the long ball to complete the double-header sweep.

Natalie Bernard and Haley Pardy had solo home runs in the Lady Tetons’ 11-2 win.

The Lady Tetons scored two in the first and tacked on five more in the second, including a bases-clearing double by Pardy.

The two teams played another doubleheader in Williston on Saturday as fields in Bottineau were not ready for play.

A recap of Saturday’s action will be in Monday’s issue of the Herald.

The Lady Tetons (9-8) will play at Dawson Community College on Tuesday and will host DCC on Wednesday. SEE JONES, PAgE B3

COLLEGE BASEBALL

Tetons extend win streak to 10 gamesWSC’s Palmer Powis is named Player of WeekBy MaRk JoneSWiLLiSTon HErALd

WILLISTON — The Willis-ton State College Tetons baseball team is starting to find its groove.

The Tetons opened Mon-Dak Conference play on Friday with a doubleheader sweep of Dakota College at Bottineau at Phil Rabon Field.

The Tetons won 8-1 and 12-2 over the Lumberjacks.

Williston State has now won 10 straight games, dat-

ing back March 17.During the win streak, the

Tetons have scored at least eight runs in eight of those games, and are averaging 9.8 runs per game during the win streak. The Tetons have

been sparked during their win streak by the play of sopho-more Palmer Powis.

Powis, a native of Salt Lake City, was named the Mon-Dak Conference Player of the Week for the week of March 23-29.

Powis’ honor was recognized this past week.

In four games last week-end in Glendive, Mont., Powis went 6-for-11 (.545) at the plate with two doubles, a triple and four RBIs.

He also stole one game and scored eight runs.

The Tetons hosted Dakota College in a doubleheader on Saturday as fields in Bottin-eau are not ready for play.

A recap of Saturday’s doubleheader will be in Monday’s issue of the Wil-liston Herald.

The Tetons (12-8) will play at Dawson Community Col-lege on Tuesday, and will host Lake Region State Col-lege on Saturday.

Josh Hamilton won’t be disciplined by MLBNEW YORK (AP) — Los Angeles An-

gels outfielder Josh Hamilton will not be disciplined by Major League Base-ball for his latest problems involving cocaine and alcohol. Team officials re-sponded by saying they were surprised and disappointed.

Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto said he disagrees with the ruling by an arbitrator appointed under MLB’s joint drug program with the players’ associa-tion. MLB said earlier Friday that it disagreed with the ruling.

Hamilton, a five-time All-Star and the 2010 AL MVP, has played poorly during the first two years of his five-year, $125 million contract with the Angels, who still owe him $83 million in salary over the next three years.

He is subject to the treatment pro-gram for prior violations involving cocaine stretching back a decade.

The Angels’ public stance support-ing punishment of Hamilton is the most visible evidence yet of the club’s disenchantment with the high-priced outfielder, who has been injured for

long stretches of two largely miserable seasons in Orange County.

“Do I agree with the decision that was made by the treatment board? Absolutely not,” Dipoto said before the Angels’ exhibition game against the

Dodgers. “But that’s not my decision to make.”

In a statement, MLB said it will “seek to ad-dress deficiencies in the manner in which drugs of abuse are addressed under the program in the collective bargaining

process.”Hamilton self-reported a new issue

this year involving both cocaine and alcohol, a person familiar with the case said. The person spoke to The Associ-ated Press on condition of anonymity because those details were not made public.

MLB said it took “the position that Hamilton violated his treatment pro-gram and is subject to discipline by the commissioner.”

Baseball defines cocaine as a drug of abuse, which is covered by different rules than those for performance-en-hancing drugs, such as steroids.

A four-person treatment board cre-ated by the joint drug program, which includes one lawyer and one medical representative each appointed by man-agement and the players’ association, deadlocked 2-2 on whether Hamilton’s conduct was a violation of his treat-ment program and was subject to discipline.

That created the need for an arbitra-tor to break the tie.

A person familiar with the process said the arbitrator was Roberta Golick, a former president of the National Academy of Arbitrators. That person spoke on condition of anonymity be-cause her name was not announced.

A hearing was held before Golick, and Hamilton was represented by law-yers Jay Reisinger and Tina Miller.

The arbitrator said only that Ham-ilton was not subject to discipline and did not give reasons for the decision, the first person familiar with the case said.

The Major League Baseball Players Association said in a statement that it will “respect the integrity of the ne-gotiated joint drug agreement process and protocols, as well as any decisions that are the result of that process.”

future sporting events. Most importantly, it gives

athletes an opportunity to work on their sport when the conditions outdoors will not permit.2) Williston state College hoCkey

In 2011, the Tetons created a hockey team.

The success Williston State had on the ice in the early years of its program is nearly unheard of.

The Tetons won two na-tional titles in its first three seasons.

And while hockey has always been big in this community, well at least as long as I have been here, the Tetons’ success has created even more interest.

And the future of hockey in Williston is bright.1) 2013 BaBe Ruth WoRld seRies

There hasn’t been a bigger

event to come to Williston during my time than the 2013 Babe Ruth World Series.

The memories from that week-long tournament are stuck in my mind like they were yesterday.

I still remember the excite-ment of Williston defeating Grand Forks for its first win in a Babe Ruth World Series tournament.

I also remember former Major League Baseball pitcher David Weathers dancing to Rocky Top follow-ing a win by his team.

And most of all, I still re-member the thrill of victory as El Segundo, Calif., roll to a win over Tennessee.

It’s exciting to think Wil-liston will be hosting the 2016 13- to 15-year-old Babe Ruth World Series in a little more than a year from now.

Just on another topic, one of the best parts of my job has been getting out and vis-

iting with all the high school athletes over the years.

I have had a lot of fun getting to know a lot of the athletes to come through Williston.

In a lot of ways, I consider many of them to be extended nieces and nephews.

Some of you may be ask-ing, how long do I plan to stay?

While it’s hard to say what the future holds, I do love what I do in a area that I love.

Under those circum-stances, I don’t plan to leave anytime soon.

Have a great week, every-body.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Cubs, Cards have high hopesCHICAGO (AP) — The new videoboard

looms large beyond the left-field wall, a gi-gantic symbol of a new day and a new era at Wrigley Field.

The 101-year-old ballpark got a high-defi-nition upgrade. So did the team that plays there.

The Chicago Cubs will be tested right from the start when they send new ace Jon Lester to the mound against Adam Wainwright for the opener against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday night.

The prime-time matchup for the majors’ first game of the season comes after a busy winter in which the Cubs made it clear they feel they are ready to hit another gear after a top-to-bottom overhaul that tested some fans’ patience.

“We were pretty transparent: It was ‘It’s gonna take a few years, we’re gonna have to do this the right way, that probably means a lot of losses,’” chairman Tom Ricketts said. “But I think right now, everyone knows that we’ve got a good young team and we’ve added some good veterans this offseason. We have a chance this year. We’ll compete for our division title and everyone’s excited about that.”

The Cardinals, meanwhile, are seeking their fifth consecutive playoff appearance. The reigning NL Central champs lost to San Francisco in the league championship series a year ago, and then traded 15-game winner

Shelby Miller for outfielder Jason Heyward.They still figure to have a deep rotation,

particularly if Michael Wacha can stay healthy. He missed most of the second half of last season because of a stress reac-tion in his shoulder and was still rusty in October. He surrendered the series-win-ning homer to Travis Ishikawa in Game 5 against the Giants.

“I like our five guys,” Wain-wright said. “I think we’ve got a very good, talented group here. The sky’s the limit.”

The Cubs believe they are headed for better days after five straight losing seasons and a 73-89 mark in 2014.

Chicago was one of the majors’ most active teams in the offseason, deciding it was time to act after some of its prospects started to arrive in the majors, joining All-Stars Starlin Castro and An-thony Rizzo.

The Cubs brought in one of the game’s top managers in Joe Maddon after they initially told Rick Renteria he would be back for a second season. The cold-blooded change was a sign of their intentions, and the $155 million, six-year deal they gave Lester put the message in bold with a few exclamation marks.

They also traded for center fielder Dexter Fowler and catcher Miguel Montero. But any significant climb into playoff conten-tion could hinge on the development of their young players.

Golf: Tiger Woods will return at the MastersBy DOUG FERGUSONThe AssoCiATed Press

Tiger Woods ended all that speculation about his game by letting everyone see for themselves.

He said Friday he will play next week in the Masters.

Golf’s biggest attraction and four-time Masters cham-pion played two practice rounds at Augusta National this week before a simple an-nouncement on his website that he would end his two-month leave on the sport’s biggest stage.

“I’m playing in the Mas-ters,” Woods said on his website. “It’s obviously very important to me, and I want to be there. I’ve worked a lot on my game, and I’m looking forward to competing. I’m excited to get to Augusta, and I appreciate everyone’s support.”

Woods was last seen at a golf tournament on Feb. 5 at Torrey Pines. He hit a sand wedge some 30 yards over the green, duffed a chip coming back, bladed the next one too hard and made double bogey. One tee shot later, he withdrew because of tightness in his lower back, saying that his “glutes didn’t activate” after a delay in cool, foggy weather.

Of far greater concern was the state of his game.

Woods has played on two tournaments this year and completed just 47 holes. His short game was shockingly bad at the Phoenix Open, where he shot a career-worst 82 and missed the cut by nine shots. And he didn’t get out of the first round at Tor-rey Pines.

A week later, he said his game and his scores were unacceptable. “I enter a tournament to compete at the highest level, and when I think I’m ready, I’ll be back.”

Those are words by which he will be judged next week at the Masters.

Woods played an 18-hole practice round Tuesday at Augusta, and he played again at the club on Friday, according to his agent.

He will have gone nine weeks without competition when he hits his opening

tee shot on Thursday, which is not unprecedented for Woods.

He went nearly five months without playing when he returned in 2010 from a crisis in his personal life that led to one of the greatest downfalls in sport. He tied for fourth that year.

Scrutiny might be even greater this time around.

The last time Woods took an extended break before the Masters, he had won his previous tournament at the Australian Masters and was No. 1 in the world after a seven-win season. Now, his game has been in disarray over a series of injuries, physical limitations and an-other change in coaching.

He hasn’t won a tourna-ment since the Bridgestone Invitational in August 2013. He hasn’t finished under par in 14 months, dating to the 2014 Dubai Desert Classic. And he has plunged to No. 104 in the world, his lowest ranking since Sept. 29, 1996, a week before he won the first of his 90 professional tournaments worldwide.

Woods hasn’t won the Masters in 10 years, though he has managed there even when his game was off. It’s the only major where Woods has made the cut every time.

He missed the Masters last year because of back sur-gery to alleviate a pinched

nerve, and he wound up sit-ting out three months. Four tournaments into his return, he again dealt with back pain and sat out the final four months of the season to fully recover and get stronger.

But when he returned at his Hero World

Challenge in December, he tied for last in an 18-man field and chipped so poorly that some analysts said he had the chipping yips. Two months of practice didn’t help.

During the Phoenix Open pro-am, he hit a bunker shot on the 16th hole that shot over the green and into the first row of bleachers.

Chipping and pitching at Augusta National doesn’t not allow for much margin of error, and the scrutiny figures to be at a high level even by Woods’ standards.

‘i’m playing the masters. it’s obviously very important to me, and I want to be there.’
