WILLISTON — While a new economic impact study shows that the oil and gas industry contributed $43 billion to North Dakota’s economy in 2013, it also highlights that several bil-lion dollars left the state.
About half of what the oil industry spends to drill and complete new wells in North Dakota -- about $15 billion in 2013 -- was not captured in the state’s economy, accord-
ing to the study by North Dakota State University researchers.
More than $7 billion gen-erated from North Dakota oil and gas exploration in 2013 went to out-of-state companies that provided goods and services for drill-ing, fracking or well comple-tion, the study says.
A new initiative spear-headed by Williston Eco-nomic Development aims to capture more of those dollars in North Dakota.
“I think there’s opportu-
nity for North Dakota to get more out of the petroleum industry than we have to date,” said Dean Bangsund, NDSU research scientist and co-author of the study.
The Enhanced Bakken Supply Chain Initiative seeks to reduce costs for oil companies while expanding manufacturing and busi-ness development in North Dakota.
Jeff Zarling, organizer of a Manufacturing and Logis-tics Conference being held in Williston this week, said
oil companies often have no choice but to pay high trans-portation costs for a product because they can’t get it in North Dakota.
He compares it to ordering Ziploc bags from Amazon.com for $1.50 while paying $7.50 in shipping.
“It sounds funny, but that’s exactly what’s happening,” said Zarling, president of DAWA Solutions Group in Williston.

WILLISTON — Felony ar-rests in Williston more than doubled in last year, averag-ing about 3.6 a day.
Williston Police Chief Jim Lokken presented the an-nual report Tuesday, reveal-ing 1,328 felonies in 2014, up from 591 in 2013. The after-effect was more than double the prisoners of last year, rising to 2,601 from 1,138.
Lt. Det. David Peterson said the large increase is a result of more narcotics use, primarily heroin and other opiates.
“Those drugs drive a theft mentality, and that has been on a pretty upward flow,” Peterson said.
The felony arrests have taken a toll on the depart-ment, which handled a number of larger investiga-tions along with the normal workload of inquiries and patrol. More investigations,
he said, has made for long hours for patrolmen and detectives.
But relief may be in sight.The department will
review its needs based on up-to-date crime stats prior to next year’s budget talks to evaluate staffing needs. And with likely increased help from state troopers after the 2015 Legislature concludes, along with FBI agents ex-pected to have boots on the ground in May, the Williston Police Department might be able shed a few long days.
Then there’s the possibili-ty that 2014’s large jump was an anomaly, which Peterson said was plausible, but there are too many factors to con-sider for a future outlook.
“It depends on our popula-tion, our officer-to-popula-tion ratio,” Peterson said. “If our crime continues to rise, we may need more officers.” Williston Herald file photo

DICKINSON — Stockhold-ers from both companies gave the green light on Fri-day for Halliburton Co. to acquire Baker Hughes Inc. for about $35 billion.
An "integration team" has been formed but it's too soon to tell still what the on-the-ground effects will be for the companies' employees in North Dakota. Both have op-
erations offices just north of Dickinson for their oilfield services operations in the Bakken, including hydraulic fracturing.
Halliburton employs about 1,000 workers in North Dakota, spokes-woman Susie McMichael said. Baker Hughes had 916 employees in the state as of early 2015, spokeswoman Melanie Kania said.
But those numbers may
already be outdated -- both companies have announced plans to lay off thousands in staff in light of low oil prices, but have released few details about the cuts on a state level.
Forum News Service reported this week that Halliburton will suspend operations at its Minot facil-ity as of April 1. A majority of those employees will be transferred to the company's
Williston and Dickinson lo-cations. State officials have estimated the low oil prices will lead to the loss of 3,000 to 4,000 oilfield jobs.
The powerful duo will take on Schlumberger, currently the world's No. 1 oilfield ser-vices provider, which also has a huge presence in the Bakken but also is shedding jobs.

WILLISTON — New Public School District No. 8 voted to move ahead on a discharge hearing for elementary teacher Sherrie Bassett on Friday.
The board voted unani-mously to begin the process of a contract termination, requested by Superinten-dent Rob Turner. He al-leged that Bassett refused to honor the terms of her contract by not accepting re-assignment, and was insub-ordinate by saying negative things about the district to fellow staff and a parent.
A unanimous vote later suspended Bassett with-out pay until the matter is resolved.
From here, Bassett and the district will enter a trial-like discharge hearing held in front of a judge and the state, with the school board acting a “jury” to listen to witnesses and evidence and make a final determination.
A date for the hearing has not been set. Turner and David Phillips, an attorney for the district, said the school board should avoid discussing the matter in the interim as to not be “cor-rupted” by what they hear, as with a jury in a legal trial.
Bassett was also advised not to discuss future content of the hearing.
THECASETurner was unable to give
full specifics on the alleged actions of Bassett, who was present at Friday’s meeting.
He said, per the terms of her Aug. 29, 2014 contract, the district is allowed to change her position in the interests of the needs of the district. In this case, he felt Bassett would fit better as a middle school teacher at Stony Creek until a replace-ment was hired.
She refused to accept the change and wanted to remain a Title 1 teacher at Garden Valley Elementary School.

CoyoteCorner
Editor’s note: Coyote Corner consists of selections produced by Williston High School stu-dents in the creative writing and journalism classes.
This week the creative writing class is featured, and next week will be the WHS journalism class.
This is a joint effort between the teachers and the Williston Herald, and will appear in the Herald every Sunday.
The following three poems are examples of sound poems, which use devices to recreate sounds representing the topic. For instance, Gastronomy, which is defined by Merriam –Webster as the art or activity of cooking and eating fine food, is meant to sound like a chaotic kitchen. As most foodies would understand, a kitchen is a fast paced environment with multiple parts working simultaneously together.
The poems purpose then is to mimic this chaotic environment. In order to create the desired sound, the writers used devices such as alliteration, assonance, consonance, repeti-tion, rhyme, and onomatopoeia.

The wind whistles gently in morning’s air,
Dancing delightfully here and there.
Birds chirp and play un-der rising sun,
Their elegant ease com-pares to none.
Above the hill where the cross stands still.
In mighty chapel, songs are sung,
Songs of the old, songs of the young,
Songs of praise, and songs of love,
Rising up to the One above.
Upon the hill where the cross stands still.
The bell is rung, the songs are done,
As the children turn and runDown the hill and to the
plain,Where they are fed manna
and grain.Below the hill where the
cross stands still.
Dinner is done, they go out,
Running endlessly with a shout.
Across the field, to the lake,
Or in the cabin, crafts to make.
Around the hill where the cross stands still.
The day is over, onto the night.
The bright fire is now alight.
Praises are raised, camp-fire’s begun,
A light in a world without sun.
Atop the hill where the cross stands still.
The campers sleep in the dark,
On their foreheads, an angelic mark,
Claiming them for the Holy One.
In troubled times, a place to run,
To the hill where the cross stands still.

Marla Claire (Otteson) Holgerson, 63, of Alamo, passed away Thursday afternoon, March 26, 2015, surrounded by her family after a lengthy battle with lung disease at the Mercy Medical Center in Williston.
Her funeral will be cel-ebrated Tuesday morning, March 31, 2015, at 11 a.m. at Calvary Lutheran Church in Alamo. Rev. Zachariah Shipman will officiate and interment will follow in the Alamo Cemetery.
Marla was born Dec. 11, 1951 in Williston to Milo and Muriel (Flaten) Otteson. She was raised and attended school in Alamo. She was united in marriage to Steve Holgerson on Dec. 12, 1969 in Alamo.
Marla was an active per-son in her younger years. She loved bowling, camping, gardening, cross stitch and baking.
She also enjoyed a good game of pinochle. Her children and grandchildren
were her pride and joy.
Marla is survived by her hus-band of 45 years, Steve Holgerson of Alamo; her daugh-ter, Sondra (Brian) Fretheim and their children, Kyla Jo, Bryan Nicholas and Wyatt all of Williston; her daughter, Bobbie Jo (Richard) Sar-gent and their children, Jacob and Amanda all of Williston; her son, Jason Holgerson and his fiancé Tracy and her children all of Alamo; her sister, Debby deAlminana of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; her brothers, Orley (Kathy) of Kennesaw, Georgia, Gregg (Mary) of Grand Forks, Kelly (Mandy) of Alamo, Kevin of Alamo, Scott (Betty) of Grand Forks; her mother-in-law, Evelyn Hol-

Current population esti-mates place the city at 31,143 permanent and “commut-ing” people, according to Nancy Hodur, a researcher for North Dakota State Uni-versity. That figure is a 20 percent jump from her 2012 estimation, and more than double the 14,716 counted in the 2010 U.S. Census.
She is compiling data to present the city with a new future projection. Hodur’s estimate for 2014 was 1.6 percent different from the projection she made in 2012, a statically accurate projec-tion by research standards, giving the department a reliable source of future projections.

she’s at and with the dis-trict?” questioned board member Heather Kitzman. Turner explained this was the case and Bassett had previously switched from being a science teacher to Title 1 upon request.
Kitzman and board mem-ber Jenny Jorgenson said they “had no idea” about what the situation was.
“So you’re asking us to do this because she doesn’t want to go where you want her to go?” Jorgenson asked.
Phillips suggested discus-sion be limited because the board would hear the details at the hearing, and Turner reminded the board it was not voting on the discharge, but rather a due process hearing to determine if the contract termination request was warranted.
NAMED IN REPORTBassett’s name appeared in
a state report on the District 8
after school program, released after the meeting Friday by the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.
The program was moni-tored by the state with special interest after Bassett forwarded a memo from Turner to Josh Sharp, pro-gram administrator for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers sector of DPI. The Williston Herald reported Wednesday that Sharp visited the district last week to monitor the federal grant, noting con-cerns over Turner’s memo to Bassett.
His findings, released Friday and emailed to the Herald, said his concerns over the memo were allevi-ated.
“In this statement, Mr. Turner was referring to the fact he did not want to send out individual invites to any student until after the registration forms were received,” the report stated.
“The New 8 School District would then evaluate the pos-sibility of doing individual student invites. Mr. Turner asked Ms. Bassett to hold off on individually inviting students as it was not what he wanted to do. The law requires 21st CCLC sites to notify the community of the opportunity to attend the program.”
Note: Board member Deanna Senior was absent at the meeting.
OTHER BOARD ACTIONS• The board approved a
roofing bid for the district office to David Rockstad Construction for $8,600. Rockstad, who serves as board president, recused himself from the discussion and vote, leaving the room until the item concluded. Wiggy’s Construction returned the only other bid, totaling $19,380.
• The board also approved AE2S to survey land near the old Adams School, where Western Area Water Supply is interested in run-ning a water line near.

186 miles per hour. In a train. While our under-standing of rail develop-ment chugs along with aging infrastructure from the last century, high-speed modern trains rocket across other parts of the world. How and why are others developing this technology above and beyond what we are familiar with? What illustrations of this develop-ment may inform our own discussions? Welcome on board this new series, “On the Rails.”
Community planners and demographers are tracking a transport change afoot: more millenials desire com-munities with more envi-ronmentally-friendly public transport options. This is electrifying new discussions on a development topic our communities have largely ignored in the last decades: modern train networks.
The United States once pioneered rail development. But in the last century, trains didn’t develop as a part of America’s culture after the mass production of automobiles, increased flow of cheaper oil and develop-ment of the Federal High-way System. Getting on the road became our national pastime.
I love the car, the open road, myself. But for the past few years, while based here in Europe, I’m amazed that trains have become my primary mode of transpor-tation: from daily work commutes to weekend trips to longer-distance vacations. It’s unimaginable to many of us Americans.
The price tags for such rail networks are undeni-ably huge, much like the price tags of other infra-structure projects such as the Hoover Dam, Erie Canal, and Eisenhower highway system. As we limp out of the Great Recession, a gen-eral consensus has emerged that in our United States, we have neglected transporta-tion infrastructure. The U.S.
spends 1.7 percent of GDP on transportation infra-structure, below others such as Canada, at four percent, and China, at nine percent. As we discuss transporta-tion infrastructure projects going forward, might we now be able to re-imagine trains in our own communi-ties?
My understanding of passenger trains was once this: 1) from the town where I grew up, you can drive fast-er to the nearest city than take the local commuter train that was often delayed and 2) from New York City, where I went to work after college as a journalist, you can fly faster home to visit family than take the Amtrak train that was often delayed.
Trains in America had deteriorated so much in the last decades, the only people who seemed to talk about them were Jay Leno, Johnny Carson, and David Letterman, as punch lines in monologues.
But not so in Europe, where rail investments grew the most on any continent in the last three decades. As I’m criss-crossing from Lisbon to Bucharest, Stockholm to Sicily, I’m understanding the advan-tages of these trains: less dependence on foreign oil, better air quality, local jobs, community renovation, and productive travel into central locations.
I’m also understanding the disadvantages: massive start-up costs, questionable financial sustainability, land grabs, the necessity of local transport options upon ar-rival and travel times longer than many flights.
All of the above are valid points, and we’ll explore them here in this series, “On the Rails.” But as we have no examples of these modern rail systems in our own communities, nor our own country, to point to as examples, I hope to espe-cially illuminate the quality of life, cultural and social aspects of these rail systems that may seem difficult to
grasp from afar. The closest comparison
we have is how the Federal Highway System altered America beginning in the 1950s. That system took over thirty years to com-plete, is the largest public works project in modern history, advanced the latest technology and was a vi-sionary political and public act. Can we Americans muster another project of this size with an advanced rail network? Should we?
If we peer across the ocean to observe the stories of a modern rail network, we can conceptualize whether these projects are appropriate for our own society. Consider this space your ticket.
Thank your editor for allowing you along on this ride. It takes an enterpris-ing editor to see the value of lifting our heads outside our own borders to understand how an issue can affect our communities, not just in the present, but for the future.
I ask only that you not take this ride alone: share these train stories with a young person in your home, or down the street, as they appear here. Because as massive as these infrastruc-ture proposals are, they would take decades to fully implement. It’s the next generations whose lives could be shaped by the train network I’ll be illustrating in “On the Rails.” We owe them at least the opportu-nity to imagine the possi-bilities.
Welcome on board.

Baker Hughes CEO Mar-tin Craighead referenced oil prices in a letter Friday to his 62,000 employees and hinted at more dark days ahead.
"With the price of oil neg-atively affecting customer activity and spending, we, too, continue to take the difficult but necessary steps to reduce our costs as we navigate through the mar-ket headwinds," he wrote in a news release.
He said the merger allows the company to solve the industry's challenges, and that the importance of cut-ting costs "was true in any
oil price environment but especially now."
In his letter to Hallibur-ton's 80,000 employees, CEO Dave Lesar said an "integration team" for combining the companies would be led by Halliburton Executive Vice President Mark McCollum and Baker Hughes Vice President Belgacem Chariag.
"The joint integration team, with members from both companies, is well on its way to developing robust integration plans to make the post-close transi-tion as seamless, efficient and productive as possible," Lesar wrote.
Antitrust regulators with
the U.S. Department of Justice must still approve the transaction, which is expected to close the second half of this year. Stockhold-ers approved the merger at separate special meetings Friday.
Both CEOs made it clear in letters to their employ-ees: the companies aren't friendly yet.
"Thank you for your forti-tude and focus during this time of great change," Bak-er Hughes CEO Craighead wrote. "Stay safe, follow the rules, and remember that Halliburton remains our competitor until the trans-action closes."

BISMARCK (AP) — North Dakota's biggest farm group said Friday it will campaign to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot to overturn the Legislature's decision to loosen the state's Depression-era ban against corporate farming.
Mark Watne, president of the North Dakota Farmers Union, made the announce-ment before about 150 cheering farmers on snow-covered steps of the Capitol. Many carried signs that said "Save the family farm" in response to a bill signed last week by Gov. Jack Dalrym-ple that exempts pork and dairy operations from the state's anti-corporate farm-ing law.
The so-called ham-and-cheese bill is intended to revitalize dairy and swine farms after years of decline, supporters said. Opponents believe the ban blocks unfair competition, and changing it even slightly will be an invitation for big, out-of-state corporations to set up shop in North Dakota.
"We believe family farm agriculture is the best tool to feed the world," said Watne, whose group has about 41,000 members in North Dakota.
Supporters need 13,452 valid signatures to get the measure on the June 2016 ballot. The petitions would have to be turned in to Sec-retary of State Al Jaeger's office by June 18.
Former North Dakota Agriculture commissioner Roger Johnson, who now serves as president of the National Farmers Union, told supporters in Bismarck that obtaining the required signatures should not be a "heavy lift."
North Dakota's anti-corporate farming law dates to 1932, when it was put on the ballot as an initiated measure and approved by voters. The law does allow farming by family-held cor-porations, which are limited to 15 shareholders who must be related by blood or mar-riage.
Legislation passed this month would allow non-fam-ily farm corporations to own or lease agriculture land, as long as the operations don't take up more than 640 acres of land, or a square mile. Facilities would have to
have at least 500 hogs or 50 dairy cows.
Harry Iszler, an 84-year-old former state Republi-can lawmaker and retired farmer from Bismarck, was among the opponents who attended the rally Friday.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming filed a lawsuit Thursday contesting new federal rules for oil and gas drilling on public land, alleg-ing in part that they interfere with Wyoming's state rules.
The lawsuit in U.S. Dis-
trict Court of Wyoming also claims the U.S. Bureau of Land Management over-stepped its statutory juris-diction with the rules and that they conflict with the Safe Drinking Water Act.
A key part of the fed-eral rules is regulation of hydraulic fracturing, the process of cracking open
deposits of oil and gas by pumping high volumes of pressurized water mixed with fine sand and chemi-cals into wells.
The federal rules an-nounced by Interior Secre-tary Sally Jewell last week will require companies to report the chemicals they use during fracking. Wyo-ming has had similar rules in place since 2010.

Today is Sunday, March 29, the 88th day of 2015. There are 277 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On March 29, 1912, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott, his doomed expedition stranded in an Antarctic blizzard after failing to be the first to reach the South Pole, wrote the last words of his journal: “For Gods sake look after our people.”
On this date:In 1638, Swedish colo-
nists settled in present-day Delaware.
In 1790, the tenth presi-dent of the United States, John Tyler, was born in Charles City County, Virginia.
In 1882, the Knights of Columbus was chartered in Connecticut.
In 1936, German Chancellor Adolf Hitler claimed overwhelming victory in a plebiscite on his policies.
In 1943, World War II rationing of meat, fats and cheese began.
In 1962, Jack Paar hosted NBC’s “Tonight” show for the final time, although the network aired a repeat the fol-lowing night. (Johnny Carson debuted as host the following October.)
In 1973, the last United States combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct military involvement in the Viet-nam War.
In 1992, Democratic presidential front-runner Bill Clinton acknowl-edged experimenting with marijuana.
NationalPerspective

Ordinarily the jockeying for the White House begins slowly, with whispered conversations and closed-door meetings. The potential candidates circle each other quietly and warily. The early commitments come slowly, and all parties know they are tentative, and mostly secret. That is how it always has been. That is how most political professionals thought it would be this time.
But in a campaign that will likely chal-lenge every expectation, expectation has been the first casualty. Last week’s presi-dential-candidacy announcement by first-term Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas was the first public blast in what will now be a 19-month campaign.
But Cruz, a onetime Supreme Court clerk and a Tea Party favorite, merely for-malized a campaign that has been conduct-ed, in a subterranean way, for months. In fact, a set of vital pre-primary primaries has been going on for some time. Only now are they visible:
-- The Texas pre-primaryOne of the reasons Cruz sent his followers a midnight
tweet about his Liberty University presidential announce-ment was to gain a march on other contenders, especially Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, whose brassy record in Wisconsin and brassy rhetoric in Iowa thrust him into prominence and established him as the principal rival to former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida.
This was intolerable for the Cruz crew, which found itself gasping for political oxygen. His announcement last week -- a rousing speech vowing to repeal Obamacare and abolish both the Internal Revenue Service and the Com-mon Core educational guidelines, with references to the “transformative love of Jesus Christ” and unequivocal support for Israel -- gave him breathing room.
But Cruz is not the only Texan in this campaign. Besides Bush, born in Texas and a graduate of the state university in Austin, former Gov. Rick Perry is hungry for a second chance at presidential politics, and he’s already lined up a formidable array of financial backers. And on Monday he embarks on a five-city Texas tour that he expects will fill his coffers for the campaign to come.
-- The Florida pre-primaryThe 1988 campaign had two presidential candidates
from Delaware -- but from different parties. The 2016 campaign has two states with two presidential candi-dates each, and the choice in Florida -- Sen. Marco Rubio or Bush -- may be even more agonizing than the one in Texas.
There’s real money in Florida, and no one remotely familiar with recent American history is unaware of the importance of Florida in presidential politics. “These two draw different types of Republicans and different types of minority voters,” says Daniel A. Smith, a University of Florida political scientist. “And in a multi-candidate field, the relative position of the others will have an effect.”
The bottom line: Both the Floridians will need Florida.Rubio goes out of his way to say that his supporters are
different from Bush’s, which is a deft way of playing the ideological, the ethnic and the generational cards all at once.
Bush is a baby boomer, Rubio a Gen Xer, born the year Bush graduated from Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. Bush is an establishment figure with a grandfather who was a senator and a father and brother who were president, Rubio an insurgent and immigrants’ son. (The insurgency might be more important than the immigrant factor. There’s not much of a Hispanic vote in Republican primaries outside of the Miami area.)
The Florida pre-primary is a class-and-cash struggle. But it’s also a personal one. Both men know that Bush, who once helped catapult a West Miami city commission-er into prominence and then nudged him into his Senate race, nurtured Rubio’s career, and now the younger man has reason to consider his mentor a menace to his career.
-- The Wisconsin pre-primaryThere’s only one presidential candidate from Wiscon-
sin, but critics of the state’s governor already are argu-ing there are two Scott Walkers. So the struggle here is over which Walker of Wisconsin is running for president in Iowa and New Hampshire.
On abortion, education, immigration and energy, Walker hasn’t so much switched his positions as modified them. He’s the political opposite of a crab, which moves from right to left. He’s shifting right. At this year’s Gridiron Dinner in Washington, Walker faced the issue squarely. “President Obama always supported gay mar-riage and his position never changed,” he said. “See, he didn’t believe in evolution either.”
Walker’s most recent mid-course correction occurred three weeks ago. In 2012, he told the Republican state convention he had “no interest in pursuing” the sort of right-to-work legislation he signed earlier this month at a unionized factory. In 2015, he said the measure “con-tinues to put the power back in the hands of Wisconsin workers.”
-- The Massachusetts pre-primaryWell, not really. But the only drama on the Democratic
side involves Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whom many liberals feel is an anti-Wall Street antidote to former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who at this time has no se-rious competitor for the party’s presidential nomination.
So far there’s just a self-appointed Warren commis-sion. And it’s not the only one. Last week a Draft Biden 2016 effort began, touting its man as “an experienced statesman, coalition builder and productive public of-ficial.” Biden, one of the Delaware candidates of 1988, is unlikely to run in 2016. Warren has repeatedly said she’s not running.
Even so, The Boston Globe put on a full-court press last weekend, arguing that, unlike Clinton or any of the GOP contenders, the Massachusetts senator “has made closing the economic gaps in America her main political prior-ity,” adding: “If she runs, it’ll ensure that those issues take their rightful place at the center of the national political debate.”
Clinton’s many gifts do not include flexibility and spon-taneity, so it’s doubtful that this Warren surge shaped the remarks she delivered, only a day later, at the liberal Center for American Progress. There she spoke of the economic divide, particularly in the cities, signaling that the gap between rich and poor will be a major theme of her campaign. Those tentative remarks, however, will not cool the ardor of the Warren partisans. They’re not ready for Hillary just yet.

The pre-primaries are well under way
Another view
Congress generally has little trouble achieving broad agreement on defense spending. One reason is a well-established and, indeed, almost reflexive belief that throwing more money at the Pentagon will solve the security challenges that America faces. That general inclination is still there; what is not there is agreement, especially among the ruling Republicans, on how to do it this time.
The party's defense hawks seem perfectly willing to tap into an emergency war fund originally set up to under-write American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. The party's fiscal conserva-tives see this as a betrayal of agreed-upon budget targets.
In a 2011 deficit show-down, President Obama and Congressional Republicans agreed to severe budget cuts totaling $1.2 trillion over 10 years that would apply to both domestic and defense programs.
This Congress seems con-tent to leave undisturbed the mandated cuts for domestic programs, many of which affect the poor and middle class, but Republicans as well as some Democrats are now seeking a hefty increase of as much as $100 billion in Pentagon spending from a base budget of $499 billion. The question is whether to do it honestly or not: whether to engage in a straightforward exercise that would require honestly confronting the 2011 budget agreement; or wheth-er to pump more money into the Pentagon's Overseas Con-tingency Operations account,
or O.C.O.This would represent a
further corruption of an ac-count created to underwrite the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq but has since been used for purposes unrelated to these conflicts, like the bomb-ing in Syria. What makes the account particularly useful to cynical legislators is that it is an off-budget fund that allows them to increase defense spending and break the caps they agreed to while insisting that they remain as fiscally upright as ever.
Disregarding the distinc-tion between the normal de-fense budget and war spend-ing in this way "would set the stage for O.C.O. to become a permanent slush fund for defense" and set a dangerous precedent, according to the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. The debate on how to proceed is playing out this week as the House and Senate votes on competing versions of a budget resolution. The Re-publicans are plainly divided on how to proceed, and where they eventually come out will tell a lot about the party's professed allegiance to fiscal discipline ahead of the 2016 presidential election.
In fiscal 2015-16, President Obama has proposed a base budget of $534 billion for the Pentagon (thus also exceeding the budget caps) and an O.C.O. account of $51 billion. Unlike the Republi-cans, he also would increase financing for some domestic programs. Republicans in the House and Senate armed ser-vices committees have now proposed budgets consistent
with the $499 billion in the 2011 budget agreement but suggested raising the O.C.O. account from Mr. Obama's $51 billion to around $90 billion.
The nation's security needs are not static. Right now, for instance, America is facing serious new security threats, including Islamic State forces marauding across Iraq and Syria, and there is every reason for the country to rethink the appropriate level of defense spending.
Yet those who argue for funneling billions more to the Pentagon stand on very shaky ground when billions of dollars have been squan-dered on troubled weapons like the F-35 fighter jet, when billions more have been lost to waste and corruption in Afghanistan, and when the budget proposals from both Mr. Obama and Congress waste billions more on an overgrown nuclear arsenal.
Meanwhile, Congress has consistently refused to fi-nance the State Department at the level needed to show a commitment to robust diplomacy through its staff, embassies and programs promoting democracy, trade, and the resolution of numer-ous conflicts around the world.
If lawmakers want to raise defense spending, they should address those issues first and then honestly own up to the fact that any major increase would require a significant and transparent rewriting of past agreements.

FARGO — The climate is changing and agriculture producers are going to have to change with it, said Mark Seeley, University of Minnesota Extension cli-matologist and professor.
"In the region where we live, in the last 10 years, we have observed over 8,000 new daily climate records," meaning new highs, lows and precipitation values, he said. "Our infrastruc-ture and our national resources and how we man-age them are all tailored to how the climate behaved historically."
Seeley talked about how the climate change is af-fecting agriculture at the 53rd International Sugar-beet Institute Wednesday at the Fargodome.
Sugar beets are primar-ily grown in the mid-latitude climates, and it's those climates, he said, that are changing the most.
"If the climate is on a pace of behaving unusu-ally outside of the histori-cal range, we better darn well be cognizant of that," Seeley said.
There is a wider range from wet to dry and warm to cold, Seeley said. Glob-ally, 2014 was the warmest year since 1880, he said.
"In the Red River Valley, we are arguably seeing more temperature change in our measurements than most other areas of the country," he said.
With the warmer temps, the growing season is lengthening.
"Some in our region are not experiencing their first autumn frost until the month of November," Seeley said.
But higher autumn tem-peratures can also increase the likelihood that sugar
beets will degrade as they sit in piles before they're processed.
We are also seeing higher dew points. There are more frequent episodes of very high levels of water vapor in the air, Seeley said, which can lead to plant diseases.
"It's almost like the air over Cancun, Mexico, has been transported to the Red River Valley, which
seems absurd, but that's the level of water vapor that has actually come up to this part of the land-scape," he said.
Precipitation is increas-ing but there are also more intense thunderstorms, which Seeley said give a great deal of moisture to some places and nothing to others. So he said some people might experience a surplus of precipita-
tion, even flooding, while their neighbors could be in drought.
Generally, Seeley said the mid-latitudes are becoming wetter and many areas in the subtropics are becom-ing drier.
A side benefit of climate change is carbon dioxide fertilization caused by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
"We are basically nurtur-
ing crops because they take in that carbon dioxide," he said. "The water-use efficiency of crops actu-ally improves with higher carbon dioxide content."
But the changes also open niches for invasive species, pests and patho-gens, increases rates of soil erosion and degrada-tion, increases pressure on environmental and natural resources, and leads to a
loss of biodiversity."Ten years from now, we
may have (weed) species that we never even fath-omed would be up here," Seeley said.
Today's farmers have to cope with an environment that's more challenging than what their predeces-sors experienced, he said, because there is so much climate variation.
Knowledge, technology and tools like precision ag-riculture, Seeley said, can help producers cope with the changes as long as they recognize what's going on.
"What I hate to see is this data ignored, regardless of what your political per-suasion is," he said. "This pace of change is abso-lutely extraordinary. I have seen things in my life as a climatologist that I never would have dreamed of."
Erik Bakke, who farms near Ulen, Minn., said it was eye-opening to see the statistics and proof of climate change. He's been farming for 23 years and said he's seeing more extremes in precipitation and temperatures.
"If it's staying warmer longer, eventually we're going to have to start our harvest later," he said. "We have to adapt, whether it's growing a longer maturity crop or putting drain tile into the ground to deal with the higher amounts of precipitation we're get-ting."
The International Sug-arbeet Institute continues today at the Fargodome with exhibits from 9 a.m. to mid-afternoon. Luther Markwart, executive vice president of the American Sugarbeet Growers Associ-ation, will talk at 10:25 a.m. about sugar industry chal-lenges like trade, politics and biotechnology.

ECONOMIC IMPACTThe oil and gas industry
directly contributed $17 billion to North Dakota’s economy in 2013, according to the study by Bangsund and Nancy Hodur of NDSU’s Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics.
The study also estimates that for every $1 the pe-troleum industry spent in North Dakota that year, another $1.43 in additional business activity was gener-ated. With the addition of $25.7 billion in secondary impacts, the total economic impact of the industry was estimated to be $43 billion in North Dakota in 2013.
The North Dakota Petro-leum Council has commis-sioned this study every two years since 2005.
The study also showed that the industry directly supported 55,137 full-time jobs as well as 26,403 second-ary full-time jobs.
Ron Ness, president of the industry group, said it was interesting to see that the amount of dollars spent on production in 2013 was about equal to the amount spent on exploration, an in-dication that the workforce is becoming less transient.
“Those are the people that need to live here, that have their families here,” Ness said of the production workforce. “They have to be within a mile of that well.”
The oil and gas industry also generated $4.4 billion in government revenues, primarily in taxes.
In addition, the industry paid an estimated $4 bil-lion in 2013 in royalties to private mineral owners. But more than half of those dol-lars left the state, the study said, because an estimated 60 percent of private min-eral owners live outside of North Dakota.
Another area where dol-lars left the state was in infrastructure investment.
The study estimates the oil and gas industry spent $3.2 billion building gas processing plants, install-ing pipelines, constructing rail-loading terminals and adding other infrastructure in 2013.
But the portion of those dollars that was spent in North Dakota is unknown, the study says.
The researchers estimated that figure using data from other studies, which showed that constructing special-ized facilities typically re-quires bringing that equip-ment in from out of state, Bangsund said.
The study estimates that about 44 percent of the dol-lars spent on infrastructure stayed in North Dakota, or about $1.5 billion.
OPPORTUNITY FROM EFFICIENCY
The industry added 2,183 new oil and gas wells in 2013, spending just under $7 million to drill and complete each well, the study said.
That is an improvement from the average cost of $9.1 million the industry spent on each well in 2011.
In addition to labor and housing costs being high
in North Dakota, operators have to spend more money to transport materials that are only manufactured several states away. In some cases, the operators also have to send tools or equipment out of state to be repaired or refurbished.
“It makes the Williston Basin a more costly operat-ing environment for our pro-ducers because they have to source all these materials,” Zarling said.
With today’s low oil prices, companies now have more incentive than ever to try to reduce expenses.
“The industry is all of a sudden very interested in pursuing technologies and sources that can be more efficient than what they’ve been doing,” Bangsund said. “There may be op-portunities there, may be substantial opportunities, to do something in state for a little less.”
For example, the industry currently spends a lot of money having mud motors used for directional drill-ing sent out of state to be refurbished.
“Instead of spending all the money to send mud mo-tors to Houston, how do we do that in Williston?” Ness said.
If operators can sig-nificantly reduce expenses, that could make drilling in fringe areas of the Bakken more economic, Bangsund said.
The Manufacturing and Logistics Conference, held March 25-26 at Williston State College, aimed to
bring together manufactur-ers, suppliers and other stakeholders with the en-ergy industry to explore the opportunities. About 200 are expected to participate.
“This is planting the seeds for something that’s going to take 10, 15 and 20 years to evolve into creating industry, diversifying our economy and leveraging this economic opportunity,” Zarling said.

FARGO — Police here wanted to know about the messages Tommy Bearson was exchanging through a popular smartphone app, a rare public glimpse at the investigation into killing of the North Dakota State University freshman.
Bearson, an 18-year-old from Sartell, Minn., went missing after leaving a party just south of the NDSU cam-pus Sept. 20.
He was found three days later about five miles away in the sales lot of an RV dealer in an industrial area of south Moorhead.
Police have said Bearson died of homicidal violence but haven’t specified how. They’ve also said they don’t have a suspect or motive identified in the slaying.
According to a warrant filed Thursday in Cass County District Court, Fargo police subpoenaed Snapchat on Oct. 13, seeking the contents of Bearson’s Snapchat account,
such as messages.Snapchat is a smartphone
app for sending images and messages that are deleted automatically shortly after the recipient sees them.
The Los-Angeles based company responded to the Fargo police subpoena the next day, Oct. 14, by confirm-ing that the account for “seetommyb23” was linked to Bearson’s email and phone number. Snapchat informed Fargo police it only releases the contents of an account in response to a search warrant.

BISMARCK — Robert Potts, former chancellor of the North Dakota Univer-sity System, has withdrawn his application to again lead the state’s public col-leges and universities, the system announced Friday.
In an interview, Potts cited concerns about House Bill 1003 as one of his pri-mary reasons for dropping out of the search.
“(The system) is really in a state of flux now. That’s all you can say about it,” he said Friday afternoon. “I have great faith it’ll work itself out, but I just wanted some-thing more stable going in, where I could predict what the duties would be, and I just could not do that given the Bill 1003 and all the itera-tions it has gone through.”
The state Board of Higher Education has taken issue with aspects of that bill, which changes the funding formula and chain of com-mand for system audits and legal counsel.
Potts noted the bill also makes “subtle” operational changes, such as requiring the system to clear certain construction projects with the Legislature; ordering 360 reviews for university presidents, vice presidents and vice chancellors; and
suggesting a legislative management study of course delivery methods and institution missions.
“It’s is going to be differ-ent than something you would really consider as an ordinary chancellor, because you’d be looking perhaps at a change in the scope,” Potts said.
He added that while that could be appealing to a younger person, he’s 71 and would prefer to know his duties going in.
“I don’t think anybody necessarily should follow my example,” he said, refer-ring to the other candidates.
The board will inter-view the remaining seven candidates, including Sen. Tim Flakoll, R-Fargo, for the position April 14.
Potts emphasized he was not criticizing the Legisla-ture. “That’s their preroga-tive to put more framework into the higher education system, if they wish to do so,” he said.
When asked whether he’d regret the decision to with-draw if the Senate changes the bill, “I might,” he said. “I probably will have a little regret anyway because I sin-cerely wanted to come back and spend a few years in the higher education system and reconnect with my friends throughout the state.”
Potts bows out of NDUS chancellor hunt, citing proposed changes

“He Started It!”Moving from Sibling Rivalry to Sibling Cooperation
We don’t need to know who started it (“Did not!”) to reduce – or stop – sibling rivalry. As a kid, I heard about “thinking caps.” Let’s use these CAPS:
Causes: Children compete for predictable reasons – feeling unmet needs, establishing a separate identity from siblings, or imitating family/community approaches to conflict.
Action: We must intervene if kids use hurtful words or violence; we can separate them, then support them in finding solutions to disagreements. We can also set ground rules for handling disagreements.
Prevention: Teach kids to express feelings; show positive ways to get siblings’ attention; plan 1-on-1 and group activities. Don’t play favorites; don’t compare kids; don’t label (the brain, the athlete, etc.).
Support: If there’s sibling abuse, professional support is crucial. Sibling abuse has serious consequences, and there’s no shame in getting help to support our kids.
With effort, when we ask, “Who started cooperating?”we may even hear, “We did!”

BYANDREW DEMILLOASSOCIATED PRESS
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — With the nation's highest court set to hear arguments next month over the con-stitutionality of same-sex marriage bans, legislation is advancing in several states that critics say gives businesses license to deny services to gays and lesbi-ans on religious grounds.
More than a dozen states this year are considering measures aimed at pre-venting government from infringing on people's re-ligious beliefs. Supporters say the proposals mirror decades-old protections in federal law, while oppo-nents say they're a license for state-endorsed discrimi-nation against the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgen-der community.
Here are some answers about the national move-ment for these laws:
Q: WHAT DO THESE PROPOS-ALS CALL FOR?
A: Sixteen states have introduced legislation this year calling for, or altering, a state religious freedom law, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Most of these proposals prohibit or restrict laws, regula-tions or other actions that burden someone's religious practices unless a "compel-ling" interest is proven. Examples of practices conservative groups have said they're trying to pro-hibit include the govern-ment compelling people to provide such things as catering or photography for same-sex weddings or
other activities they find objectionable on religious grounds. They've also said the measures would help churches that want to feed the homeless but are barred doing so by local ordinanc-es. Opponents, however, say it would lead to widespread discrimination against the LGBT community and have compared it to the way
religion was used to justify slavery and racial segrega-tion.
Q: IS THIS A NEW IDEA?A: No. The legislation is
patterned after the federal Religious Freedom Resto-ration Act of 1993, and 20 states now have similar laws on the books.
Q: WHY ARE THEY GAINING SUPPORT NOW?
A: The climate has changed since this legisla-tion first surfaced. Judges across the country ruled against state laws and amendments defining mar-riage as between a man and a woman since the U.S. Su-preme Court struck part of a federal anti-gay marriage
law in June 2013, and gay marriage is legal in more than half of the U.S. Jus-tices will hear arguments April 28 in a case over the constitutionality of such bans in a case that could le-galize gay marriage nation-wide. The push for the laws also has been buoyed by the Supreme Court's ruling last year that Hobby Lobby and
other closely held private businesses with religious objections could opt out of providing the free contra-ceptive coverage required by the Affordable Care Act.
Q: WILL THERE BE A BROAD EXPANSION OF THESE LAWS?
A: Mississippi approved a religious protection law last year, and Indiana became the first state to adopt one this year with a measure Gov. Mike Pence signed into law Thursday. Arkan-sas is poised to follow suit, with a final vote expected next week in the House on legislation that Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson has said he'll sign. The future is murkier for proposals in several other states, such as Georgia, where a religious protection bill has stalled before a House committee.
Q: WHAT'S THE FALLOUT?A: Opponents of the
measures are hoping that to halt these measures with the same type of backlash from businesses that prompted former Gov. Jan Brewer to veto simi-lar legislation last year in Arizona.
In Arkansas, retail giant Wal-Mart has said the reli-gious protection proposal sends the wrong message about its home state, and the Human Rights Cam-paign has launched an ad campaign in Silicon Valley targeting technology firms Hutchinson is trying to lure to the state.. The NCAA, whose offices are located in Indianapolis, has expressed concerns about Indiana's law and suggested it could move future events else-where.
With gay marriage pending, religion bills gain ground

A window sign on a downtown Indianapolis florist, Wednesday, March 25, 2015, shows it's objection to the Religious Freedom bill passed by the Indiana legislature. Organizers of a major gamers' convention and a large church gathering say they're considering moving events from Indianapolis over a bill that critics say could legalize discrimination against gays.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Members of a University of Oklahoma fraternity apparently learned a racist chant that recently got their chapter disbanded during a national leadership cruise four years ago that was sponsored by the fraternity's national administration, the university's president said Friday.
President David Boren said the school interviewed
more than 160 people dur-ing its investigation into members of its now-defunct Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter who were captured on video taking part in the chant, which included refer-ences to lynching, a racial slur and the promise that the fraternity would never accept a black member.
"That chant was learned and brought back to the local chapter," Boren said at a news conference in which he disclosed the school in-vestigation's findings. "Over
time, the chant was formal-ized by the local chapter and was taught to pledges as part of the formal and infor-mal pledgeship process."
Brandon Weghorst, a spokesman for SAE's national administration, which is based in Evanston, Illinois, said the organiza-tion planned to release a statement in response to the university's findings.
Boren said about 25 members of the school's SAE chapter will face punishment ranging from
two expulsions the school announced previously to mandatory community service and cultural sensi-tivity training. The video, which surfaced earlier this month, showed fraternity members yelling the chant on a chartered bus while headed to a formal event at an Oklahoma City country club with their dates, Boren said.
Boren said the investi-gation found alcohol was "readily available" at the fraternity house before the
start of the event, and that about a dozen high school students whom he described as "potential recruits" were also on the bus.
Beginning in the fall, Boren said all current and future OU students will be required to take diversity training.
After the video surfaced, Boren immediately severed ties with the local chap-ter, shuttered the frater-nity house and expelled two members who led the chant.
One of those students,
Levi Pettit, publicly apolo-gized at a news conference Wednesday in which he was flanked by black commu-nity leaders. Pettit, who is from the Dallas enclave of Highland Park, answered a few questions from report-ers but declined to say who taught him the chant.
"The truth is what was said in that chant is dis-gusting ... and after meet-ing with these people I've learned these words should never be repeated," Pettit said.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — When vandals sliced a fiber-optic cable in the Arizona desert last month, they did more than time-warp thousands of people back to an era before computers, credit cards or even phones. They exposed a glaring vulnerability in the nation's Internet infrastructure: no backup systems in many places.
Because Internet service is largely unregulated by the federal government and the states, decisions about network reliability are left to the service providers. Industry analysts say these companies generally do not build alternative routes, or redundancies, unless they believe it is worthwhile financially.
The result: While most major metropolitan areas in the U.S. have backup systems, some smaller cit-ies and many rural areas do not.
"The more rural the loca-tion, the more likely that there's only one road in and out of that location," said Sean Donelan, a former in-frastructure security man-ager in the U.S. Homeland Security Department who now works for a cybersecu-rity firm. "If someone man-ages to cut that fiber, you'll generally see a one- or two- or three-day outage."
Despite its own warnings about such vulnerabilities two decades ago, the federal government has taken no steps to require Internet companies to have backup systems, even as it has provided billions of dol-lars in subsidies to expand broadband Internet into unserved areas.
"Our first responsibility is to make sure that people actually have service," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, co-chairman of President Barack Obama's newly created Broadband Opportunity Council.
In northern Arizona last month, tens of thousands of residents were without
Internet service — some for up to 15 hours — after vandals cut through an underground bundle of fiber-optic cables owned by CenturyLink. ATMs went down, stores couldn't pro-cess credit cards, college students in Flagstaff had to put their research on hold, and even 911 emergency service was lost.
Earlier this month, sev-eral thousand people lost Internet and phone service for half a day when an elec-tric company crew acciden-tally cut a fiber-optic line in northern New Mexico.
When an underwater fiber-optic cable became wrapped around a big rock and broke in 2013, some residents of Washington state's San Juan Islands were without Internet and telephone service for 10 days.
Among them was aero-space consultant Mike Loucks, who said he was shocked to find out his home phone, cellphone and Internet service did not work independently of each other. All went down
because they relied on the same cable. He ended up taking a ferry to the main-land to dial in to conference calls from his car outside a McDonald's.
"When I figured out what all had been routed to this cable, it's a single-point fail-ure thing," he said. "That's pretty dumb. Why don't you guys have a backup cable?"
He was so frustrated that he switched Internet providers.
CenturyLink, the broad-band provider in the Arizona and Washington outages, declined to make officials available for an interview about its Internet infrastructure. But spokes-woman Linda Johnson said in an email that the company acts quickly to restore service and "is constantly investing in its local network and strives to deliver new services and build redundancy where possible."
After the San Juan Is-lands outage, CenturyLink spent $500,000 to install a microwave system that now backs up the underwater
cable. A microwave system is wireless technology that relies on a series of above-ground antennas or towers to transmit data. It's more often used in rural areas.
Companies have been deploying more than 10 million miles of fiber annu-ally in the U.S., increasing the risk of damage from backhoes, trench-diggers and shovels, according to an analysis by a network reliability committee of the Alliance for Telecommuni-cations Industry Solutions. The number of outages on high-capacity fiber-optic lines in the U.S. more than doubled from 221 in 2010 to 487 last year, according to the Federal Communica-tions Commission.
Fiber-optic cables form the spine of the Internet. A fiber bundle contains dozens of tiny glass fibers — each about the width of a human hair — that use light waves to trans-mit data. The fibers often are buried along existing rights of way for highways, railroads or pipelines. It is common for a telecommuni-
cations company to install the cables and then lease space on them to others.
That saves money for ev-eryone involved. But it also means outages can affect a wide variety of services.
As early as 1995, the U.S. Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology warned that the "power of optical fiber technology is diminishing the number of geographic transmission routes," concentrating the flow of information and "resulting in an increase in network vulnerability."
Since 2009, the U.S. Ag-riculture and Commerce departments have provided about $10 billion in grants and loans to expand broad-band Internet access. The departments said recipients were encouraged but not required to build redundan-cies into their projects.
The FCC says about half the rural U.S. lacks access to high-speed Internet ser-vice. It plans to distribute about $20 billion over the next five years to support rural broadband. It does
not require recipients to build network backup sys-tems against outages.
The funding "is designed to expand broadband to as many rural Americans as possible while not increas-ing the cost of the program" to customers, FCC spokes-man Mark Wigfield said.
The FCC recently in-creased its oversight of Internet providers by clas-sifying them as "telecom-munications services" that must operate in the public interest. But that doesn't carry any new mandate for Internet network redundan-cies, because such backups aren't required of phone companies, he said.
Some states have laws specifically barring the regulation of Internet service, and it's outside the jurisdiction of many state utility regulatory agencies.
Washington state Rep. Jeff Morris, who repre-sents the San Juan Islands and is chairman of the House Technology and Economic Development Committee, said lawmakers are hesitant to require re-dundant lines for fear they will lead to higher Internet and phone bills for their constituents. His colleagues have discussed taxing ac-cess to Internet services, but that is prohibited by federal law.
"It really spoils our abil-ity to generate revenue to give better service and reli-ability to our constituents," he said.
Some state officials are nonetheless trying to nudge Internet providers to de-velop backup plans.
"Dependability is premier to the Internet these days," said Sandy Jones, a mem-ber of New Mexico's Public Regulation Commission. "Redundancy — two paths out, three paths out — is re-ally critical for businesses. Just think of restaurants, gas stations, all the things that shut down when there's no Internet line."
Lieb reported from Jeffer-son City, Missouri.
Internet outages reveal gaps in US broadband infrastructure
Elaine Thompson/Associated Press
A Washington state ferry passes through a channel in the San Juan islands and in view of Mount Baker Thursday, March 26, near Friday Har-bor, Wash. People on San Juan island lost Internet and phone service for 10 days there in 2013. Other regions around the country also have fallen dark in recent years, sometimes for days at a time, because of failures or accidents affecting the nation’s broadband infrastructure.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings and cornerback Terence Newman have agreed to terms on a one-year con-tract worth as much as $2.5 million, including $750,000 guaranteed, that will reunite the veteran with coach Mike Zimmer for his 13th NFL season.
The Vikings announced the deal Friday with Newman, who spent the last three years with Cincinnati after nine with Dallas. Zimmer, entering his second season with Minnesota, was Newman’s defensive coordinator for six years: four with the Cowboys and two with the Bengals.
Newman, who was drafted by Dallas with the fifth overall pick out of Kansas State in 2003, has 37 career interceptions, the third-most among active players in the NFL. The production and stability at cornerback for the Vikings was better in 2014, but that’s still a position where they could use more depth with Xavier Rhodes, Cap-tain Munnerlyn and Josh Robinson their leading returning players.
Newman has been rela-tively durable, averaging 15 games per season. He’s a two-time Pro Bowl pick with 11 fumble recoveries, eight fumbles forced and 169 pass breakups over his career.

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Gregory Polanco and Tony Sanchez hit solo home runs to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to rain-shortened 4-2 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday. The game was called in the top of the eighth inning.
Sanchez’s opposite-field shot was his third homer this spring.
“He’s playing as well as I’ve ever seen him play,” Pi-rates manager Clint Hurdle said. “He’s playing with confidence. He came to work. He came to get better. He came to make the club, regardless of what person-nel was in place.”
Both Pirates homers came off Trevor May, who was making his final bid to open the season in the big league rotation. May was lifted after 4 2-3 innings, having allowed four runs on eight hits and a walk.
Left-hander Tommy Milone appears to have the upper hand in that three-way competition with May and veteran right-hander Mike Pelfrey.
UND knocks off Quinnipiac 4-1 Two goals in 2nd period lifts home team to winBY DAVE KOLPACKThE ASSociATEd PrESS
FARGO (AP) — Drake Caggiula and Luke Johnson scored short-handed goals and North Dakota enjoyed a home-state crowd in a 4-1 victory over Quinnipiac on Friday night in the West Regional semifinals of the NCAA hockey tournament.
North Dakota (28-9-3) advanced to play St. Cloud State for a berth in the Frozen Four, one week after the Huskies beat UND in the semi-finals of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference tourna-ment. UND also lost the third-place game in the league tourney.
“Everybody is mak-ing an awful lot of it,” North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol said about the back-to-back losses. “Teams have ups and downs. There are reasons you have ups and downs. We turned
the page about a week ago.”
North Dakota scored two goals within 3 minutes in the second period to take control, the second one when Hakstol’s team was killing a goaltender interference penalty to Connor Gaarder. Caggiula buried Troy Stecher’s pass on a
2-on-1 break to make it 3-0.Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold
pointed to the first goal in that span, when Bryn Chyzyk scored from the left corner near the end boards
on a shot that bounced off goalie Michael Garteig and into the net. It was a fluke goal “that just killed us,” Pecknold said.
“It wasn’t our best game but I thought we competed and battled,” Pecknold said. “I was happy how we played.”
Quinnipiac senior captain Mat-thew Peca said UND fed off the crowd of 5,283 at Scheels Arena in Fargo, which is 70 miles south of UND’s campus in Grand Forks.
“Like Rand said, they were com-mitted tonight and they blocked a lot of shots,” said Peca, referring to the 28 shots that were knocked down by UND’s defenders before reaching the goal.

injury bug taking a toll on Lady Tetons

WILLISTON — The Wil-liston State College Lady Tetons softball team will open the home portion of the 2015 season on Wednes-day with a home game against the University of Jamestown junior varsity team.
The Lady Tetons (7-8) had a strong start to the season, but have been hit by the
injury bug in recent weeks.
“We started out real strong,” said first year Williston
State College softball coach Tiffany Buckmaster. “We beat Iowa Central, who was No. 12 in the nation, but we suffered some injuries.”
Currently, two of Willis-ton State’s three pitchers are suffering from ankle injuries. The lack of depth on the mound has forced Williston State to forfeit four contests this season, includ-ing a pair of doubleheaders this weekend in Montana.
“I won’t over work her,” Buckmaster said of her lone healthy pitcher.
Still, the Williston State coach isn’t making excuses.
“No excuses,” she said. “You still go out and try to win games.”
The strength of the team is its ability to hit the ball.
“I love when we hit,” Buckmaster said. “We can hit around. We can hit from top to bottom.”
Buckmaster says her top batters - Myria Riffel, Emily Cairns, Haley Pardy and Jaylen Creech are especially talented at the plate. Cairns had a grand slam in a game against Western Nebraska earlier this season.
Buckmaster replaces Scott Wachholz as head coach of the Williston State softball team.
She is the third coach in three years for the Lady
Tetons.“It’s tough,” Buckmaster
said. “They are looking for direction, and I’m hoping to give them that.”
Buckmaster comes to Wil-liston State from Bluffton
University (Ohio) where she had served as an assistant coach at her alma mater.
The Lady Tetons will play a single game against James-town JV on Wednesday before opening conference
play against Dakota College on Friday.
Buckmaster says even if she has to get on the field herself, the field at Dakota Parkway will be ready for play.

WHS is low on numbers, but high on talentLady Coyotes have 15 athletes out this year including 3 state qualifiersBY MArK JONESWiLLiSTon hErALd
WILLISTON — With only 15 athletes out for the season, Williston High School girls track and field coach Connie Blatherwick sure has some talent to work with.
“We’ve got a good group of girls,” said the first year Williston coach. “We’re low on numbers, but high on quality.”
Among the returners for Williston is senior Amanda Nelson, who placed in the javelin at last season’s state meet.
Sophomore Kayla Bloomquist returns as a state-placer in the 400-meter dash.
With a pair of strong early-season perfor-mances this season, Bloomquist will likely be a state-qualifier in multiple events this season.
“We’re hoping to qualify her in a couple more events,” Blatherwick said.
Hannah Juhl was Williston’s third state-qualifier last season. She ran in the 2-mile,
but did not place.Blatherwick came to Williston about a
year ago for a job with the school district. She previously lived in Parshall, where she also was a track coach.
Blatherwick also ran track at the Univer-sity of North Dakota.
The Williston coach hopes to qualify more athletes for state. Williston’s best chances for a state berth may come in the distance.
“Our distance runners have a lot of depth,” Blatherwick said.
Blatherwick says Lizzy Goebel, Jana Mischke and Hannah Reich-man could help create a good 4-x-
800 meter relay.Williston has two seniors, two juniors and
11 combined sophomores and freshmen.Blatherwick says the only way to increase
the number of athletes is to perform well on the field.
“Other people seeing the success we are having,” she said.
Blatherwick first got to know her athletes through cross country last fall as she served as an assistant coach.
The Lady Coyotes will compete Tuesday at Minot.
Ready or not, here comes spring sports
This past week, I spent a fair amount of time at the Williston Area
Recreation Center for a vari-ety of reasons.
A couple of those reasons dealt with tracking down coaches and getting a few photos for the sports section.
I also took in some time at the Williston baseball and softball practices.
First of all, I am pleasantly surprised at the number of young women out for softball.
It’s Wil-liston High School’s first year of softball, and by my account, the Lady Coyotes have about 20 players out for the season, which is great for a first-year program.
And then as I was look-ing at the schedule for next week, I realized the Lady Coyotes have a softball game on Thursday.
And with the Williston State College baseball and softball teams already under way with their seasons, it’s safe to say the spring sports season is here.
And after being indoors for the winter sports season, I’m looking forward to being outdoors and enjoying the warm weather - as I type this, it’s 72 degrees.
In baseball, the Coyotes are ranked eighth in the West Region standings that were announced this week.
While Williston doesn’t start the baseball season until April 10, there is still plenty of time to get extra practice in to surprise the rest of the West.
Whether you’re ready or not, the spring sports season has arrived. As one who is tired of the cold weather, I am thrilled about that.
Good luck to all of the area teams.

Rowdy fans vs. noise famine at NCAA hockey regional sites
FARGO (AP) — The NCAA wants to take home-ice advantage away from its re-gional hockey tournaments. Yet, the effort to secure neu-tral sites reveals an imbal-ance between an electrifying atmosphere and hundreds of empty seats.
The West Regional in Far-go was a mini-home game for the University of North Dakota on Friday, played in a 5,000-seat arena rather than its 12,000-seat facility 70 miles away. Hundreds of UND fans showed up five hours before their team’s faceoff to stake out standing room-only space on the floor and a two-level riser behind each of the nets.
Meanwhile, the sounds of players in a Northeast Re-gional game between Minne-sota and Minnesota-Duluth could be heard Friday above the sparse crowd in a 10,000-seat arena in Manchester, New Hampshire.
“There’s a balancing act every year,” UND athletic di-rector Brian Faison, chair of the NCAA men’s ice hockey committee, said Saturday. “You try to come up with the best venue that you can while at the same time keep-ing in mind the geography and getting teams from the same area.”
The topic will be up for discussion after this season, Faison said, because the re-gional sites for the next two years have not been decided.
The ice hockey committee selects the sites, based on bids submitted by venues in conjunction with schools or conferences. In UND’s case, the school put in two sepa-
rate bids — one with officials from its home facility, Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks, and one with Scheels Arena in Fargo.
Given the proximity to UND’s campus and the thou-sands of alumni who live in North Dakota’s largest city, tickets were a rare commod-ity. Fans camped out over-night in the hopes of getting in on an allotment of 150 tickets that were made avail-able Thursday morning.
It cost $79 for a three-game package and $59 for the championship game. Earlier in the week, some tickets on Internet broker sites were going for more than $1,000.
Fargo resident Andy Kal-bus is a UND season ticket holder who was leery about buying standing room-only tickets, but said it was his “only way into the building.” He said it was worth packing into the risers with about 400 people, the approximate number of standing-room tickets sold on each end.
“It’s not too bad,” he said. “You have to stand on your tippy-toes to see if the puck is in the goal over here, but for this size of an arena, it’s fine.”
Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold, whose team drew UND in Friday’s semifinal, said the atmosphere trumped what could have been a more favorable climate for his team in another state.
“Having been on the com-mittee before, it is a battle to keep neutral sites and obviously this was not a neutral site,” Pecknold said. “But hey, we were the 14 seed so you have to go on the road and take your lumps.”

FARGO — Please don't tell my wife Mary, but I borrowed her best kitchen knife this week to divide houseplants. But not to worry; instead of just wiping off the excess potting soil, I washed the knife before slipping it back into its stor-age rack.
Spring is the best time to divide and repot houseplants. As March and April's days get longer and light levels intensify, indoor plants begin a growth spurt.
Plants that benefit from dividing include Boston fern, snake plant, peace lily, cast-iron plant, spider plant and aloe vera. Multiple shoots arise from a "crown" where stems meet roots.
How often should plants be divided? When their growth has multiplied outward, touching the edge of the pot, leaving very little soil that isn't packed with roots. Such plants can be repotted into larger pots without dividing, but increas-ing pot size can't continue indefinitely. Plants whose centers have become sparse, with all nice growth on the perimeter can be refigured by dividing and replanting the vigorous parts. Dividing is also a way to multiply plants when you'd like a few more.
Begin by choosing a container and soil. Plastic pots are more common, but old fashioned unglazed clay pots breathe and are more forgiving of overwatering. Always soak new clay pots in water for several hours before using. Cheap pot-ting soils that feel heavy in the bag are a poor buy because plants won't grow as well. Top quality mixes are light, high in peat moss and aggregate, and drain well. Miracle Gro Pot-ting Mix and mixes recommended by locally owned garden centers perform well.
The plant upon which you'll perform surgery should be neither too wet nor too dry before the operation. Both ex-tremes make soil and roots less workable. Water the plant a day or two in advance.
Cleanup will be easier if you cover the work surface with plastic or newspaper. To ease the plant from its pot, insert a long knife between the pot and soil/root ball. Slide the knife around the inside of the pot to break the clinging interface between soil and pot.
Next place an open hand over the soil between plant stems.
Growing Together: Spring best time to divide, repot houseplants
Carrie Snyder / The ForumInvert the plant and pull away the pot.

Turn the plant over and pull off the pot with the other hand. Avoid tugging on stems because it can injure the crown. If the pot won't release easily, slide the knife around the inside again.
Now examine the plant. Look for natural separations from multiple "offsets" that have sprung from the original. If the plant is a continuous, solid growth of stems, we can arbi-trarily divide into portions.
The most common way of dividing is to cut down through the soil/roots with a sharp knife either at natural divisions, or by slicing the soil ball into halves or fourths. Although this usually works, roots are so intertwined throughout that cutting causes huge root loss. Usually the divisions recover, but there's an alternate method.
Before dividing, immerse the soil/root ball in a bucket or tub filled with water. Much of the soil will dissolve, entwined roots will loosen a little, and roots can be teased apart, preserving more. If the crown doesn't pull apart into desired divisions, you may need to cut through the crown.
The size of division to repot is your decision. Large, crowded plants are best divided at least into fourths. You can replant one chunk, or several smaller ones into a new pot.
New potting soil is often quite dry straight from the bag, and should be moistened before use. Roots don't appreciate going into dry soil, and it's harder to wet once it's in the pot. Add water to the bag the night before, stir well, and allow to permeate.
Choose a pot size at least several inches larger in diameter than the root spread of the divisions. Don't use a pot too large, or new plants will flounder with too much soil and moisture. Increase pot size every year or two as plants grow.
Add a layer of potting soil inside the bottom of the pot. Hold the division with one hand, suspending it in the center of the pot. Add potting soil with the other hand. Jiggle and tap the pot up and down as you fill, to settle and firm the soil. Packing tightly by hand can overly compress the mix. Continue filling until the divisions are at their previous soil depth, and soil is just below the pot's rim. Soil will settle a little more when watered. Plants seem to grow better if there is less than an inch of "headspace" in the pot.
If you're concerned you'll hurt the plant during surgery, use a painkiller. The plant doesn't need it, but maybe you could take a couple aspirin yourself.
