WILLISTON — The Klug administration wants to use portions of the $64 million received from the approved “surge fund” legislative bill to com-plete water, sewer and street projects.
But after hearing protests Tuesday, the Willis-ton City Commission voted 3-2 to improve only part of the Wegely Green Acres neighborhood.
Under the initial proposal, the city would have paid for the completion of an existing water sys-tem and two-thirds of the street pavement and drainage improvement costs, while the cost of a new sewer system and one-third of the street and drainage improvements would be assessed
to the property owners.Alliance Consulting Group said the city would
have paid an estimated two-thirds of $7.3 million in construction costs — the largest financial effort the city has put forth for a district improvement proj-ect. The proposal, supported by the commission and Williston Mayor Howard Klug, would benefit about 139 properties. City officials said the new project would improve a neighborhood plagued by drainage issues. Still, 43 percent of the neighbor-hood properties protested, with 45 individuals submitting a signed protest to the commission.
“It’s the future of Williston,” said a resident who supported the proposal, adding the streets needed improvements. Another argued: “We don’t want it. Everyone we talk to don’t want it.”
Instead of forcing the proposal onto the disin-terested, the commission chose to complete four of six areas within the improvement district. Landowners in these areas also protested, but failed to carry the majority vote.
Alliance Consulting Group said the construc-tion of the lesser improvement project will now cost the city about two-thirds of $4.6 million (totaling an estimated $5.3 million, including administration, engineering and contingency costs). Knife River won the construction bid.
Klug said he had “promised” the landowners that if their neighborhood was annexed into the city, he would get them water and sewer services.

WILLISTON — The kids of Williston will be hands-on this summer while learn-ing and creating different types of art during the James Memorial Art Center annual program.
Starting June 16, the JMAC will be having a six-week art class for kids grades 1-6. The young art-ists will create projects such as button art, recycle art, collage, creative writ-ing, sketchbook work, into photography at Fort Union, paper making, clay, mixed media and zentangle.
Zentangle is a relatively new art form which focuses on creating beautiful imag-
es from repetitive patterns. Along with learning a new technique like Zentangle, it also provides artistic sat-isfaction and an increased sense of personal well being for the young artist.
“I look forward to offering a variety of art mediums and projects to our com-munity's young artists,” said teacher Onesti Krieger. “I am looking forward to tye-dying T-shirts with the kids.”
Students will learn basic elements with “hands-on” instruction from multiple local artists and discover new and exciting art tech-niques.
For the last week of the art program, JMAC stu-
dents, with access to a cam-era are to bring their own. Anyone without a camera will be going to Fort Union where the intro to photogra-phy portion of the summer art program begins.
Here, the young artist will get educated on the sur-roundings of Fort Union, what happened at the fort, along with background his-tory.
“Our hope is to encour-age Williston's kids with digital cameras and cell phones to do more than simply point and click. And what better place to do that than Fort Union?” said Fred MacVaugh, an instructor for the summer art pro-gram. “There are plants
and animals, the river, fort, and landscape — a wealth of opportunities for kids to experiment with picture-taking while following in the footsteps of nineteenth-century artists who put the Williston area on the national map.”
The summer art program not only gives the chance for your children to explore their artistic side, but also gives them a sense of confidence and letting them know that it is possible to create something out of nothing.

BISMARCK — After a battle over health insur-ance for state workers, the North Dakota Legislature will reconvene Tuesday to consider approving a bud-get bill left hanging when legislators adjourned in April, a panel of lawmakers said Wednesday.
Legislative Manage-ment, a panel of legislators who met Wednesday over conference call, voted 16-1 to come back into session next week to consider the unresolved budget bill.
A special committee reached unanimous agreement on Monday on Senate Bill 2022, the more than $14 million
appropriations bill for the North Dakota Public Em-ployees Retirement System and the state Retirement and Investment Office.
The compromise would add two lawmakers - one from each party – to the seven-member board that oversees NDPERS.
The board drew criticism when it switched its health insurance contract from Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota to Sanford Health Plan, a change that kicks in July 1.
The NDPERS plan covers more than 29,000 public employees and retirees and their family members at the state and local levels – nearly 66,500 insured lives in all, including state lawmakers.
Some legislators said they were conflicted about recon-vening the Legislature.
“This is the sort of dys-function and bending of the rules that we see in Wash-ington, and we don’t expect it here in North Dakota,” said Sen. Tyler Axness, D-Fargo. “I don’t want this to be a precedent set that we’re going to leave town and then come back in a month and finish the work that we left on the table.”
Sen. Ray Holmberg, R-Grand Forks, said he believes legislators are following the rules, but he said he would not argue that ending the session was “traditional or ideal.”
“I think all of us have learned some lessons from what has occurred and hopefully we will take them all to heart as we go into the 65th and subsequent ses-sions,” Holmberg said.
Lawmakers have used 78 of the 80 legislative days they’re allowed every two years under the state con-stitution, leaving two days to finish their business.
This would be the first time legislators have re-convened since lawmakers passed a bill in 1995 giving themselves that power.

WILLISTON — A lot of in-trospective thought happens when an 8-year-old inquires how to write computer code or how to digitally splice music. Then there comes a time in an adult’s life when they have an epiphany that the next generation might have surpassed an area of their intelligence.
Ken Quamme, tech professor at Williston State College, is instructing a week-long course, Kids Tech Camp, put on through the WSC TrainND program. The class started with 15 spots available for students, but he had not anticipated there would be a wait list. So naturally, Quamme accepted all of them.

WILLISTON — Every kid wishes they could pull out kung fu moves and stand up to the bad guys. Especially the real-life bad guys who bully their class-mates. Kids want a master to teach them the ways of self-defense.
The Williston Fight Club will be hosting a one-day lesson called “Stop a Bully” on June 13 which will teach young students how to physically defend themselves against bullies. More importantly, it will teach kids the difference between self-defense and
unnecessary violence.Brandon Anderson,
retired mixed martial arts fighter and teacher of the class, said the lessons don't focus on how to beat up other kids.
“We educate on when it's ok to fight or when you should walk away,” An-derson said. “Fighting is a last resort – don't use this stuff unless you have to.”
He said he encour-ages kids to talk to their parents about when they should and shouldn't fight back.
Some parents will only let their child strike back after being struck,
other parents allow their children to use physical defense in threatening situations. Should the situation arise, this class teaches the basics of strik-ing back.
Josh Lebsock, owner of the Williston Fight Club, said he appreciates An-derson's work with young students.
“I've taught martial arts to kids,” he said, “But I've never taught self defense against bullies. It's a re-ally great idea.”
But how do kids learn to prevent unnecessary vio-lence from someone who used to fight in a cage?
“If you're in the cage to be a bully, you're not there for the right reasons,” An-derson said. “It's a chess match.”
And like fighting in a cage, Anderson said the only time for violence is when there's no walking away.
“A lot of people say, 'you fight the kids? That's barbaric!',” Anderson said. But he said he teaches the students based on their age and ability.
The class is broken into three age groups: 5-8, 9-12 and 13-17 year-olds. Older kids receive basic train-ing on footwork, move-ment and take-downs, and younger kids receive a more playful version of the same knowledge.
“We take basic martial arts and break them down into games,” Anderson said. He mentioned a game
called “Ninjas and Zom-bies.” “They don't even realize they’re learning. A lot of these kids are the last ones picked on a team, so they're not used to physical contact. After a while, they don't even want it anymore.”
The class is designed to help break students out of that shell and learn how to use their body.
“It develops an awesome friendship between the students and their par-ents,” Anderson said.
He sells mats to parents and urges them to work with their kids outside the club. He teaches a “No-Sad Ninja” approach to coaching, which banishes negativity from training exercises.
“It can be a great way for parents to relate to their kids,” He said.
Jess Grev has signed up her son, 4, and her daugh-ter, 7, for the Stop a Bully lesson twice before. She said her kids have been itching for a third one.
“They really enjoyed it,” Grev said. “They love Brandon; they always want to try their moves on him.”
She said she appreci-ates the “No-Sad Ninja” approach toward positive learning. She's even prac-ticed some moves at home with her kids.
“It really raises their self-esteem,” Grev said “By the end, everyone is laughing and having a good time.”

“This money is going to go away because we have other places to spend it,” he said, adding that though the city has millions of dollars from the surge fund bill, it also has a host of other projects that need attention.
Commissioner Brad Bekkedahl, who serves as state senator, said he “got the sense in Bismarck you would never see another surge fund bill again.”
“This is more participa-tion that we’ve ever done in the city during my years here,” he said. “It’s an ef-fort to make things better out there. But is there any merit in saying we’re not going to do any of the proj-ect? ... I don’t want to be in the position of forcing it on these people.”
With exception of “main
backbone projects,” the city has never put forth this amount of money for an improvement project, said Robert Hanson, city engi-neer, who added that state of North Dakota statute allows the city to build-out without hosting a protest hearing, but that would not be the case here.
Areas approved included Area 1: 4th Avenue East between 38th-42nd Streets; Area 3: 3rd Avenue East between 34th-42nd Streets; Area 5: 1st Avenue East between 34th-40th Streets; Area 6: 1st Avenue West between 36th-42nd Streets. Areas removed from the project included Area 2: 4th Avenue East between 34th-38th Streets; Area 4: 2nd Avenue East between 34th Street-42nd Streets.

they started without a set agenda. Instead he asked that the students brain-storm together what they wanted to learn and they decided to go from there. The first day “they decided what they want or what I feel they needed for their future,” he said.
Many of the students arrived wanting to learn ad-vanced computer concepts.
“I wanted to learn how to write code, use files, and script,” said Jadon Pugatch, who will be going into fourth grade.
Watching him, he wanted to utilize it to use in a com-puter game called ROBLOX Studio where virtual worlds can be created and code can be written to create new items.
A lot of chatter and col-laboration was going on amongst the students in the class. Fifth grader Michael Espeland seemed to take to a leadership role very quickly. He orchestrated a group to join the same server so they could build a spaceship together in the game Minecraft. Teamwork seemed effortless as they all had a job to do.
As the class was brought together for some formal learning, Quamme exposed the students to a variety of computer programs. By the time the students got to the 3D animation portion, it was visible in some, that seeing it had unlocked a spark in their mind. They were creating cartoons and doing voice work.
It looks as though modems are a thing of the past too.
He showed the equipment the students were working with. A Raspberry Pi they call it — a small, clear case the size of a cell phone, that is essentially a small moth-erboard.
The small computer had all of the components to hookup a mouse, monitor, HDMI, external hard drive and more.
“You’ve impressed me by doing this,” said Dakota Hunter, WSC student and aid to the tech class, as he was looking at the student’s work. “They call him ‘Rasp-berry Pi Guy’” laughed Quamme, “kinda like Bill Nye the Science Guy.”
The students can be expected to get a taste of computer coding, website management, video and sound editing, 3D anima-tion, blogging about what
they have learned, exposure to 3D printing and anything else they want to learn along the way. Quamme says he is there to cater to what they want.
He uses the phrase “from toys to tools,” explaining that if it becomes of value, it will become a tool. All that the students are being exposed to will help them with their future education.
He says since there was such a great interest in the class, next year there is always the possibility of branching off into more specific computer genres. He still wants to keep an exploratory computer class, though.
“These young minds are fantastic to work with,” Quamme said smiling.

BISMARCK — North Dakota stands to lose $300 million a year in oil income and 1,900 jobs if a federal rule on hydraulic fractur-ing takes effect later this month, state officials argue in court documents.
North Dakota has filed a request for a preliminary injunction against the Bu-reau of Land Management, seeking to delay implemen-tation of the agency’s new fracking rule until the court can review a challenge filed by North Dakota, Wyoming and Colorado.
A hearing is set for June 23 in U.S. District Court in Casper, Wyo.
North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, who will attend the hearing, said the BLM rule set to take effect June 24 would disrupt oil and gas development in the state and cause North Dakota to lose $300 million in mineral royalties and tax income in the next fiscal year.
In April, North Dakota
intervened in a lawsuit against the BLM. Federal lands and minerals, includ-ing the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, make up about 40 percent of North Dako-ta’s oil production.
North Dakota officials favor state regulation of fracking and say the BLM rules would cause lengthy permitting delays.
“We simply feel that our rules are better, they are effec-tive and we are much better and much more capable of actually enforcing them than they are,” Stenehjem said in an interview Wednesday.
Lynn Helms, director of the Department of Min-eral Resources, writes in an exhibit filed in court that 10 of 22 oil companies with significant operations on federal and Indian lands will leave North Dakota if the rule takes effect.
Helms estimates those companies leaving would permanently cost the state $9.4 billion in royalties and taxes. Helms estimates North Dakota would lose 1,900 jobs.

WILLISTON — Whether it’s crimes of opportu-nity or acts of desperation, thefts are on the rise in the city, prompting police to cre-ate a task force focusing on reining in bandits who are making off with vehicles, guns and thousands of dol-lars worth of construction and industrial supplies.
The uptick in thefts is most likely fueled by drug or alcohol abuse, and in some cases could be linked to larger organized crime rings, Det. Jacob Gregory of the Williston police depart-ment said. “There’s almost always some sort of sub-stance abuse, be it heroin, meth, alcohol or marijuana. There’s something behind it in most instances.”
Gregory is a member of the property crimes task force, a multi-agency effort which was formed at the beginning of the year in response to a regional surge in thefts.
This month has been a busy one for him. Police have noticed a rise in construction thefts on the north side of town, where a cluster of new development has sprung up, but the past couple of weeks have seen incidents all over the city.
According to police re-ports, on Monday, an ATV, tools and copper wire worth a total of $23,000 were stolen from an industrial company, $12,000 worth of shingles were stolen from a construc-tion company, three guns were taken from vehicles in two separate incidents, Verizon reported that it was missing $2,000 worth of cop-per wire, and a trailer and three radiators worth $2,500 were gone from another company.
Last week, a business re-ported the theft of electrical equipment worth $1,500, and a pickup truck was stolen from a different company. The keys were left inside the truck, which police say is nothing new.
Many drivers simply aren’t in the habit of locking up, and a number of busi-nesses have a policy of keep-ing keys in company cars.
Some of the autos are running with the keys in the ignition when thieves jump in, or keys to company cars are stored in business offices that are easily broken into.
Car bandits here gener-ally don’t have to work too hard to nail a free ride, Det. Lt. David Peterson said.
“We don’t see hotwiring, the keys are always available.”
Williston police see a motor vehicle theft every two to three days, Peterson said. Some of the cars and trucks are apparently used to get somewhere local and are found the next day, while others are eventually located hundreds or thou-sands of miles away.
Heists like these come with serious consequences - stealing anything worth $1,000 or more will earn the culprit felony charges in North Dakota, and some thieves make quick work of large, easily recognized items. Often, things like ATVs, cars and motorcycles are sent out of state to be traded or resold.
One easy way to safeguard property such as tools and equipment is to mark them with some sort of identifi-cation, so that police can return stolen items once they’re found.
Knowing your gun’s se-rial number can help in the recovery process as well, Pe-terson said, adding that it’s not wise to keep firearms in an empty vehicle.
“Guns are easily traded for controlled substances, they’re like currency in that realm,” he said.

GRAND FORKS — Satel-lite images that circulated the Internet more than two years ago purported to show natural gas flares lighting up the Bakken Oil Patch as bright as a major metro-politan city were "highly pro-cessed," "manipulated" and "inaccurate," researchers at the University of North Dakota's Energy & Environ-mental Research Center said Wednesday.
Chris Zygarlicke, the EERC's deputy associate director for research, said he took an interest in the images because the sci-ence involved aligns closely with his background. He said having driven through western North Dakota and the Oil Patch, he believed the images were inaccurately portraying the area.
"There's no way that we're lighting up the land like you see people talking about everywhere," he said.
So, since late 2013, Zygar-licke and researchers from the EERC and UND's aero-space department have used images gathered from the National Oceanic and Atmo-spheric Administration to determine what the Oil Patch truly looks like from space.
The UND study found the images that went viral on the Internet in January 2013 and were published across worldwide media--including in publications such as National Geographic--were actually a representation of heat sources, not light.
It also discovered that the published images were often amplified to be 100 times brighter than the actual image.
"These images are mis-leading in that they give the uninformed public the idea that flares are literally light-ing up many square miles of prairie countryside, creat-ing visible light similar to large metro areas," the study
states. "So does the sky in western North Dakota light up like a million-person me-tropolis? A casual drive on any evening through coun-ties of the Bakken oil play shows otherwise, so how are these satellite images being formulated?"
UND researchers stated they created improved meth-ods for identifying, char-acterizing and processing gas flare images in western North Dakota to produce what Xiaodong Zhang, as-sociate professor in the UND aerospace department, called "real gas flare images."
Researchers developed a processing method based on data collected from the NOAA.
Zygarlicke said typical sat-ellite sensors would capture an 800-by-800-meter area as one pixel on an image. Re-searchers determined typical flares only occupied one-six thousandth of a pixel. So, if a flare was present in the pixel area, the image would present the area as lit up.
Zygarlicke said the study used only nighttime images that were free of clouds and used only the middle portion of the image not affected by the Earth's curvature.
"We were able to generate and validate the images us-ing actual production data, which differentiate flaring emissions from other signals, including man-made light, to
accurately depict nighttime satellite images of flares," Zhang said in a release.
A side-by-side comparison of a satellite image that circulated in 2013 and an im-age derived from the VIRRS and day-night bands show a much darker Bakken
"That's what it really looks like," Zygarlicke said. "There it is, in black and white."
The $25,000 study was funded by a UND grant pro-gram and funding from the university's provost office.
Alison Ritter, public information officer for the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources, said her office learned of the images in late May. The images were also presented at the North Dakota Industrial Commis-sion meeting on Wednesday.
She said the Department of Mineral Resources, which both regulates and promotes the oil and gas industry in North Dakota, had an "uphill battle" after those images came out.
Since the UND study began, North Dakota has added rules in an attempt to decrease the amount of flaring.
"It was nice to see them come out and kind of explain what those satellite images really represented," Ritter said. "... We all know that when you drive in western North Dakota, you can still see the stars."

Here are a couple of things you may not know about recent topics in the news: First, no Secretary of State previous to Hill-ary Clinton had ever used a government email address or preserved their mes-sages for posterity. And why should they? The law requir-ing cabinet members to do so didn’t go into effect until after Clinton left office.
Presumably to make one-stop-shopping easier for Chi-nese and Russian hackers.
But I digress. Bush ad-ministration Secretary of State Colin Powell deleted his emails. Every single one. Condoleezza Rice has said that she simply never used email, which may even be true.
Second, as of 2011, former President George W. Bush had earned at least $15 mil-lion giving speeches mainly to corporate and Republican groups. Politico has found more recent information hard to get. It’s private and confidential.
In 2011, Bush pocketed $100,000 to speak at a fund-raiser for a homeless shelter in McKinney, Texas. The shelter’s director called the event a success, adding that the former president was his usual charming self. Bush’s standard practice is that reporters aren’t invited and recording devices are not allowed.
“Relative to the Clintons, though,” Politico notes, “he’s attracted considerably less attention.” It’s not like George W. Bush has any close relatives running for president. So when he ac-cepts $250,000 for speaking to the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas, it’s not an issue. This event is widely known as the “Sheldon Adelson Primary,” after the billionaire casino magnate who openly audi-tions GOP hopefuls who oppose online gambling and support Israel.
Anyway, aren’t they all up for sale, the candidates? Clintons, Bushes, Walkers, Cruzes, Perrys, the lot.
Open for business, every single one.
Somehow, however, what would appear the least ob-jectionable buck-raking by a presidential candidate dur-ing the 2016 campaign cycle
has become the most controver-sial. I refer, of course, to the Clinton Founda-tion, Hillary and Bill Clinton’s $2 billion charitable enterprise.
The Clinton Foundation is credited, among other things, with providing cut-rate HIV drugs to pa-tients throughout the Third World, hearing aids for deaf children in Botswana, earthquake relief in Haiti, and even fighting elephant poaching in Africa -- report-edly a passion of Chelsea and Hillary Clinton’s.
And of every other decent human being on earth.
Interestingly, the Wash-ington Post’s David A. Fahrenthold recently produced a remarkably fair, snark-free account of the Clinton Foundation and its proprietor, a veritable force of nature. As a longtime ac-quaintance, like thousands of Arkansans, I almost can’t comprehend the life Bill Clinton has chosen. His life of endless banquets, celeb-rity galas and international jetting around would make me crazy.
But then, what have I done for the destitute and afflict-ed? Watched a lot of Red Sox games and read a thousand novels, that’s what.
Meanwhile, the thing to understand about the swirl of innuendo and accusation concerning this remarkable enterprise is that it’s yet another “Swift Boat”-style operation. Written by a career political operative named Peter Schweizer, the book “Clinton Cash” amounts to little more than a conspiracy theory touted by the same newspapers that promoted the Whitewater hoax and cheered on Kenneth Starr and his leak-o-matic prosecutors.
Aptly described by Mi-chael Tomasky in the New York Review of Books as an “imitation of journalism,” “Clinton Cash” basically as-sembles circumstantial evi-
dence about various poten-tates and high-flyers in the Clintons’ orbit. Assuming venal motives, it then leaps to conclusions unsupported by fact. In most instances, the author hasn’t even inter-viewed his targets.
After making a promo-tional deal with Schweizer, The New York Times devoted 4,400 words to a jumbled narrative involving a Canadian mining execu-tive who’d pledged half his income to the Clinton Foun-dation and the subsequent sale of a Wyoming uranium mine to Russian interests.
Way down at the bottom, however, the determined reader learns that Secretary of State Clinton played no role in the deal whatsoever. At least none that the Times could find. It’s pure supposi-tion.
The newspaper then re-mained silent as Schweizer appeared on conservative talk shows depicting the foundation as a giant slush fund devoting only 10 per-cent of its budget to charity. In fact, according to the American Institute of Phi-lanthropy, the real number is 89 percent -- an A rating.
Look, any cynic can play at this. Check out your hometown society page. That doctor’s wife at the Heart Fund gala: Is it about charity, or about people back home in Turkey Scratch seeing her socializing with a Wal-Mart heiress? How about the architect? Does he care about sick kids, or is he about getting the contract for the new hospital wing named for the heiress?
Does Bill Clinton do all this for humanity, or does he just need more atten-tion and admiration than we “normal” people? Does Hillary want to be president for America’s sake, or for her own?
The correct answer is all of the above.
But when journalists cry corruption, make them prove it.

Odd news
I have always had a liking for good quotes from great people. They help me put things in order and avoid the inde-cision of muddling through.
The great French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupery, for instance, is one of my favorites. Always romantic and reaching for the heavens, he wrote once about what a man or woman gains from the unusual life: “There is no buying the night flight, with its hundred thousand stars, its serenity and its moment of sovereignty.”
The essential words are only two: “no buying.” You have to earn that beauty, that engrossing peacefulness and that precious “moment of sovereignty.”
Or one can always depend upon the voluminous writings of St. Augustine, who oversaw the Catholic Church on the north shores of Africa in Tunisia. To me, his most useful quotes say that it’s most important to know the “order of the loves” -- and thus, of course, to keep them in order and to know which came first or, perhaps, forever.
But of all of the wise men and women whose perspica-ciousness we might enjoy, to our vast benefit, personally I harken back to a great man, also a Catholic, whom I met in the brutal and fateful spring of 1979, when Central America was falling into the abyss of war without end. I speak, of course, of the towering figure of justice, Archbishop Oscar Romero.
When I met him in his study in a Catholic home in San Salvador, it was as though he glowed with peacefulness and harmony. Some people, even men, are “round” in figure and personality; but Archbishop Romero was “square.” His face was strongly formed; his skin, a beautiful earthy brown. He was a handsome man, but apparently unaware of it.
We talked about “liberation theology” and how the far right in El Salvador accused him and many other liberal priests of embracing communism. It was tearing up the country. Finally I asked him: “Father Romero, you have put yourself in great danger with your embrace of the poor. Wouldn’t it have been easier to take another route?”
He smiled a small smile, so personal and so beatific that I can re-create it in my memory even now. Then he said: “Of course, I could have. Of course. ... But that would not have been very EASY, either, would it?”
Father Romero’s words come back to me now because, only this last week, the new Pope Francis, himself a Latin American priest from Argentina and a champion of the poor, beatified Archbishop Romero, beatification being the last step before sainthood. His words have also come back to me because many people today ARE eager to take that easy way out, not realizing, as he did, the terrible costs that sup-posed easiness can impose upon us.
Unfortunately, he was not alive to see the tens of thou-sands who gathered in the capital of San Salvador to joyous-ly celebrate this great honor. Not long after I interviewed him, the archbishop was shot dead, on March 24, 1980, while celebrating Mass. He was certainly killed by the far right, who hated him so.
Another Christian -- this one from halfway around the world -- was also in the headlines this week. He was a man so seemingly different from Father Romero that one could hesitate to pair them in any way. And yet, they were both Christians who tried to play a moderating role in their torn countries.
I met Tariq Aziz, spokesman for the Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein, when I first went to Iraq in 1980 to get the story of who had started the war between Iraq and Iran. It was of crucial importance because, with Iran having just been taken over by the Shiite clergyman Ayatollah Khomei-ni, the type of Islamic fanaticism that we see today in Syria and Iraq was then beginning.
When I entered Aziz’s office in the ruling Revolutionary Command Council headquarters, an eerie and secretive group of buildings, I found a small man, of lean build, with cold, dark eyes that bespoke systematic thinking. But his Chaldean Christian faith was no accessory, nor was the fact that he grew up speaking Aramaic, the language of Jesus. In that Islamic country, his faith meant that he could not threaten the all-powerful Saddam.
But -- the war, the war? Khomeini was “trying to throw the entire region into flames, to destroy the borders and to reignite the struggles of the sixth and seventh centuries,” Aziz said, words so like those used today in Iraq.
“They must have sent a lot of agents,” I continued.“They sent hundreds of agents,” he answered. “Most were
hanged. Iraq is a very well-organized society.”When Saddam was going to invade Kuwait in 1990, it was
Aziz who tried, unsuccessfully, to persuade Saddam not to do it. And his lack of success led directly to the collapse of the Middle East today.
So, two Christians. One, soon to be a saint; one, having died in prison this week, thought of as a sinner. Both chose a path that was anything but easy.

ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. (AP) — A Vermont man has escaped jury duty — by getting dis-missed for wearing a prisoner costume.
James Lowe of Barnet says he was released from jury duty on Tuesday when he showed up to court wearing a black-and-white-striped jumpsuit
with a matching beanie.The Caledonian Record re-
ports that Lowe showed up on time and joined other prospec-tive jurors before the start of the selection process.
Deputies directed him to an empty courtroom to meet with the judge, who told him to leave.
Lowe says the judge told him he could've been found in con-tempt of court. That could've meant a fine or jail time.
Lowe says the juror instruc-tions don't restrict clothing, but that he's happy to be released because of his work schedule and family obliga-tions.
Man dismissed from jury duty for wearing prisoner costume
Oil and natural gas are being used as geopolitical weap-ons like never before in history. Russia's Vladimir Putin has become perhaps the world's most skillful, effective practi-tioner. His strategy, already far advanced, is to bend Europe to his will by threatening to cut off the oil and gas Russia supplies it.
Meanwhile, U.S. energy policy is the laughing stock of the world. It simply makes no sense. In part because it places so many barriers in the way of domestic oil production, it puts us at the mercy of countries such as those in OPEC, from which we continue to import huge quantities of oil. That is despite the fact the U.S. has become the world's leading oil producer.
A bill introduced in the Senate would repeal the ban on exports of American oil. Doing that would encourage more domestic drilling, providing even more oil. It would create new jobs. It would allow U.S. diplomats to use energy as a weapon, perhaps aiding our allies.
At one time there was a good reason to ban exports of U.S. oil. No more. Times have changed — and so should energy policy.

10 DAYS
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will face an unpleasant consequence if people feel that you have been mislead-ing. Before you convince others to join your mission, check your facts and leave no room for error.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Think before you speak. Your heightened emotions will cause you to overreact. There is no need to be defen-sive if no one is threatening you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your charming ways and humorous mood will have people flocking to your side. Accept as many social invita-tions as you can handle. A
change of fortune is immi-nent.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Before you sign up for a loan or make a major purchase, you should do a realistic as-sessment of your financial status. Consult a banking or investment adviser, if neces-sary, in order to clarify your position.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You may be overwhelmed by the demands being put on you. Don’t spread yourself too thin. It’s perfectly fine to say no. Take care of your needs first and don’t feel guilty.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Surround yourself with positive, upbeat people. Good moods are contagious, and you will feel your stress fall-ing away once you loosen up. An intriguing partnership is on the horizon.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Be self-aware. If your instincts tell you some-thing is not right, listen to them. Scam artists are very convincing, and if you fall for a sales pitch, you will have regrets.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will alienate the people you live with if you
try to force your opinions on them. Take a step back and let matters settle down before you spoil a close relationship.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Love, harmony and ro-mance are highlighted. Plan an intimate liaison with a special someone, or get out and meet someone new if you are single. Communication will lead to affection and com-mitment.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Introduce yourself to the person you have been admir-ing from a distance. You are likely to find a lot of common ground once you compare notes. A long-lasting partner-ship is apparent.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You are likely to feel con-fined and to be easily upset if you stay indoors today. Use your energy to complete out-door chores or to engage in some physical activity.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A recent quarrel with some-one will stress you out. Open up the lines of communica-tion, declare your feelings and admit your shortcom-ings. Clear your conscience and ease your mind.

Thomas Fuller, an English scholar and preacher who died in 1661, said, “All things are difficult before they are easy.”
The key play in today’s deal is very difficult to find, and even after seeing it once, many players would miss it the next time it flew by, a de-cade or three later!
South is in five hearts. What should he do after West leads the spade king?
The auction went badly for North. He had hoped to be able to respond two diamonds and to rebid four hearts to describe his hand. But East made a Law of Total Tricks raise to four spades -- in a competitive auction, bid to the 10-trick level with a 10-card fit. North considered doubling that, but eventu-ally plowed on to five hearts. (Note that four spades can be made.)
Suppose South wins the first trick with dummy’s spade ace, draws trumps ending in his hand, and runs his diamond queen. What happens next?
Here, East takes the trick and, if in midseason form, shifts to the club 10. Then the defenders take one diamond and two clubs to defeat the contract.
Declarer must establish dummy’s diamond suit with-out letting East on lead for that nasty club switch. South must let West take the first trick.
Suppose West leads an-other spade. Declarer dis-cards a diamond from his hand, plays a heart to his ace, leads the diamond queen to dummy’s ace, ruffs a dia-mond high, plays a heart to dummy’s jack, ruffs another diamond, leads a heart to the king, and cashes dummy’s three diamond winners.

CROSSWORD
A6 WILLISTON HERALD THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 2015 Comics
Dear Annie: I am confused about how to handle my husband’s ex-girlfriend, who shows up at his family funer-als and stays three hours at the visitation hanging with my husband and reminiscing about the past. They discuss things out loud with no re-spect for me.
This woman is married, but never comes to these gather-ings with her husband. And my husband still does her taxes, even though I told him he shouldn’t. He’s opening the door to trouble.
I do trust my husband, but not her. She definitely is still attracted to him, and it shows. Is her behavior normal, or should I tell her at the next funeral to pay her re-spects and leave? -- Not Jeal-ous, Just Hurt
Dear Not: Please don’t let your insecurities cause you to overreact. If you trust your husband, it doesn’t matter what his ex-girlfriend does. And how often does the fam-ily have funerals that you need to worry about this? We agree that she is being inappropriately flirtatious, but it is only a big deal if your husband responds in a similar fashion. We suggest you chummy up to this ex-girlfriend at these events. It will totally baffle her, greatly impress your husband and make her less of a threat to you.
Dear An-nie: You printed a let-ter from “Ex-pecting Mom in the Mid-west,” who asked for a re-sponse when rude people ask, “Was it planned?” You sug-gested, “Why
do you need to know?” I think a good answer would be, “Of course! God planned it!” I love your column. -- Bossier City, La.
Dear Bossier City: Your response was by far the most popular one we received. We appreciate all who sent in their personal preferences. Here are a few samples:
From Pat: Your response was masterful. Another retort (not original to me) would be: “If people ask you, tell them you don’t know.” And a gentler response: “I’m hurt by your question.”
El Paso: In my opinion, a better answer to this question is: “Well, I guess that’s really between my husband and me. Don’t you agree?”
R.: I would simply say, “Yes, it was planned, but if we plan another, should we inform you first?” There seem to be more ignorant and stupid people in today’s
world, and they have no fil-ters between their brains and mouths.
P.: When asked, “Was this pregnancy planned,” I would say, “I give up. Was it?” I have used this more times than I can say, and it always works.
Mother of Twins: I would simply ask, “Were you?”
Tyler, Texas: Someone could reply, “It was more planned than the question you just asked!”
Salisbury, Pa.: I’ve found this response works: “Why in the world would you ask such a personal question? It’s rude, and you’re normally not a rude person. Are you feeling OK?” Whenever you end with a question, the other person feels compelled to answer. So throw it back in their court, and watch ‘em squirm. They deserve a little squirming.

Williston High School graduate Bradey Miller has always wanted to play college baseball.
That dream will become a reality as Miller will play at Highland Communi-ty College in Highland, Kan., beginning next season.
Miller has been the anchor of the Williston defense from his shortstop position, earning all-conference honors He also figures to play a key role for the Keybirds this summer.
On Wednesday, the Herald visited with Miller about a varity of topics prior to the Keybirds home double-header against Minot.
Q: How did you hear about Highland Community College?
A: I have a recruiting profile. Their coach called me and I went down and tried out.
Q: What type of role will you have with the team?

A: The Cleveland Indians. I’ve al-ways liked the Indians, even during the down times.
Q: What do you do away from the base-ball diamond?
A: I like to go fishing, hang out with my girlfriend and take my dog for a walk.

Williston’s Joren Falcon gets the safe call from home plate umpire Pete Borseth as he scored the game-winning run in the Keybirds’ 2-1 win over Minot in eight innings Wednesday evening in American Legion AA baseball action at Aafedt Stadium.
Keybirds knock off Minot, 2-1, in eight inningsBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD
WILLISTON — The late Tyler Jangula would have been proud.
On the night, the Keybirds paid tribute and honored the life of their former player, Williston played its best game of the summer season to this point.
Caleb Owens doubled home Joren Falcon in the eighth inning to give Willis-ton a 2-1 win over the Minot Vistas at Aafedt Stadium.
“We fought hard,” said Williston coach Shawn Egge. “We fought really hard. It was a close game, and we got an at-bat when we needed it.”
Falcon opened the eighth with a single to right. After Owens failed to execute a sacrifice bunt, he drove a two-strike pitch from Hunter Dut-tenheffer to right-center field, allow-ing Falcon to score from first.
In the top of the eighth, Williston was nearly done it by a pair of errors. A dropped fly ball and a mis-played ground ball allowed the Vistas’ first two batters to reach base.
However, Williston pitcher Boston Horob settled down
and got the next three bat-ters out.
“Errors can hurt,” Egge said. “You never want er-rors. They could hurt you that late in the game.”
Horob earned the win pitching the full eight in-nings.
“He threw fantastic,” the Williston coach said. “I couldn’t have asked more from our pitchers.”
In honor of Tyler Jangula Night, the number 10 - the jersey number he wore dur-ing his years with the Key-birds - was painted on the infield near both dugouts,
In between games, the Jangula family was awarded a plague from the Williston
Baseball Committee, recog-nizing June 10 as Tyler Jan-gula Day at Aafedt Stadium.
“I was best friends with his little brother,” Egge said of his memories of Jangula. “So they were like a second family to me. He hated to lose. As a young athlete, he was one you could look up to.”

Baseball tourney starts todayBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD
WILLISTON — When it comes to baseball this week, there will be no rest for the weary.

The Key-birds will face Swift Current to open the tournament at 9 a.m. Williston will close out the day with a game against Havre, Mont., at 7:30 p.m.
“I’m excited,” said Willis-ton Keybirds coach Shawn Egge. “We got a shot to win it, but we got to come to play.”
Williston has finished fifth in the tournament the last two years. The Keybirds topped Dickinson to win the 2012 tournament.
“We got to have pitchers that normally don’t pitch to come through for us,” Egge said.
The tournament runs through Sunday.

Blackhawks edge Tampa Bay 2-1, even Stanley Cup Final 2-2CHICAGO (AP) — Brandon Saad and
the Chicago Blackhawks finally broke through Tampa Bay’s rookie goalie and then barely hung on to even up the Stanley Cup Final.
Saad scored the tiebreaking goal with 13:38 to play, captain Jonathan Toews scored in the second period and the Black-hawks beat the Lightning 2-1 in Game 4 on Wednesday night, knotting the Final at two games apiece.
Corey Crawford made 24 saves and
survived a frantic final minute for the Blackhawks, who rebounded from consecutive defeats in a gritty, defense-
dominated game.Saad scored the eventual
winner by chipping a backhand under Andrei Vasilevskiy, the 20-year-old Russian goalie forced into his first NHL playoff start. He made 17 saves while replac-ing 53-game winner Ben Bishop,
who was scratched with an undisclosed lower-body injury after hobbling
through Game 3.Game 5 is Saturday night in Tampa.Alex Killorn scored in the second
period for the Lightning, whose four-game road winning streak ended.
Vasilevskiy played well enough under extraordinary pressure, but couldn’t quite match Crawford, the 2013 Stan-ley Cup winner who regularly follows up poor stretches with big games for the Blackhawks. Tampa Bay pum-meled Crawford with multiple scoring chances in the final minute.

BY ROBERT BURNS AND LOLITA C. BALDORASSOCIATED PRESS
NAPLES, Italy (AP) — The new U.S. military hub set-ting up in Iraq's western desert could be a model for more such train-and-advise operations — and with it likely more U.S. troops — designed to help Iraq defeat the Islamic State, the top-ranking American general said Thursday.
"Sure, we're looking all the time at whether there might be additional sites neces-sary," Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters travel-ing with him to Naples, Italy, where he is meeting with U.S. commanders.
"It's another one of the op-tions" short of committing U.S. ground combat forces, he said. President Barack Obama has ruled out U.S. ground combat.
Dempsey spoke the day after the Obama adminis-tration announced that as many as 450 U.S. troops will go over the next two months to al-Taqqadum, situated be-tween the Islamic State-oc-cupied cities of Ramadi and Fallujah in Anbar province, to advise Iraqi forces and help integrate a larger num-ber of Sunni tribal fighters into the Iraqi campaign to retake Ramadi.
Dempsey said the mission for U.S. forces there "first and foremost" will be to assist the Iraqi military in organizing and executing its counteroffensive, while encouraging greater Sunni involvement. Integrating into the fight the Sunni tribes — who have either been sidelined by the Shiite-led central government in Baghdad or unwilling to join — is seen as a crucial to
driving the Islamic State out of the Sunni-majority areas of western Iraq.
As the Iraqi campaign against the Islamic State progresses, Dempsey said, another such U.S. hub could be established along the route between Baghdad and the northern city of Mosul, which has been under Islam-ic State control for a year. Prospects for launching a counteroffensive in Mosul this year, however, seem dim, given the Iraqi army's recent defeat in Ramadi.
Dempsey refused to offer a timeline for Iraq launch-ing a counteroffensive in Ramadi, but his description
of the plan for al-Taqqadum indicated the big counter-attack is not imminent.
"It will take several weeks" for the U.S. to estab-lish its base at al-Taqqadum, he said. It will include not only U.S. military advis-ers but also personnel to provide basic supplies and to protect the base. He said almost half of the 450 troops will be devoted to the "force protection" mission.
Asked about the reason for putting U.S. advisers closer to the fight for Ra-madi, he said, "I think that this will be an enabler to what eventually will become a counterattack to reclaim
Ramadi."Wednesday's announce-
ment left out any move to send U.S. forces closer to the front lines, either to call in airstrikes or to advise small-er battlefront units, under-scoring Obama's reluctance to plunge the military deeper into war and risk the sight of more body bags coming home from Iraq.
The U.S. is insistent that the Americans will not have a combat role but said they may venture out of the base in order to help identify and recruit Sunni tribes.
"Is this a game changer? ... No. It's an extension of an existing campaign that
makes the campaign more credible. The game changers are going to have to come from the Iraqi government," Dempsey told reporters traveling with him.
The expanded effort also will include expediting the delivery of U.S. equipment and arms to Iraq, including directly to troops at al-Taqa-ddum, under the authority of the government in Baghdad.
Obama this week lamented that the U.S. lacks a "com-plete strategy" for defeating the Islamic State, and offi-cials pointed to a glaring lack of recruits among Sunnis.
The Sunni-Shiite divide has been at the heart of the
Islamic State's successes in Iraq. Officials blamed the Iraqi government for last year's collapse of the military in the face of the Is-lamic State onslaught. Many Sunnis in the armed forces dropped their weapons and fled, unwilling to fight for the Shiite-led government.
Some local citizens in Sunni-majority areas still fear an invasion and repri-sals from Iran-backed Shiite militia even more than dom-ination by the Islamic State. And Iraqi leaders in the Shiite-led government have been slow to recruit Sunni tribesmen, fearing that the fighters, once armed, could turn against them.
New Iraqi Prime Min-ister Haider al-Abadi has promised to address those concerns.
Obama's new plan, howev-er, doesn't go far enough for critics who have pressed for military coordinators and advisers closer to the front lines to augment the U.S. airstrike campaign.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday that sending several hundred military ad-visers to Iraq "is a step in the right direction," but he criti-cized Obama for not having "an overarching strategy." Sen. John McCain of Arizo-na, the Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, was harsher in his assessment: "This is incrementalism at its best or worst, depending on how you describe it."
And some Democrats were also concerned. "Absent sig-nificant reform, we can help the Iraqi forces win battles, but they will not stay won," said Rep. Adam Schiff of Cali-fornia.
