Sidewalks being poured at LSS senior housing BY JERRY BURNES WILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — Concrete crews and cement trucks descended on Lutheran Social Service Legacy Living at Central Place this week to begin installing longawaited sidewalks at the $11.4 million federal, state and city funded senior housing project.

The action came after residents appealed to the Williston City Commission on Nov. 12 that disabled and elderly tenants had fallen or struggled while trying to navigate unfinished sidewalks and makeshift wooden ramps. City commissioners and department heads brainstormed ideas to temporar-

ily or permanently fix the sidewalk and parking issues, and promised to work with LSS and the other parties to correct the issues. The city pushed forward to have the sidewalks poured this year after a pair of Herald articles detailed the conditions of Williston’s so-called “crown jewel” solution to the senior housing blight and how red tape around funding had prevented LSS from paying its contractor to complete the work, which was originally expected to be completed in May. The 58,864-square-foot

Art Deco building is home to 44 affordable senior housing units, and the lack of concrete was causing parking and sidewalk issues for tenants. On Thursday, Building Official Bill Tracy said crews will continue to work on pouring concrete, and completion could take a couple weeks due of the amount of conditioning needed during freezing conditions. ‫‏‬The plan is for them to continue to pour concrete all the way around the building,” Tracy said.

WILLISTON — A 57-yearold Florida man has been charged for allegedly robbing a Williston bank. Drew Cahours faces a Class C felony for robbery after an incident at First International Bank and Trust on Nov 13. Cahours was arrested in McKenzie County on Tuesday where he was believed to be living and working. Cahours According to an affidavit of probable cause, Cahours went to the bank on his day off and provided the teller with a note reading, “Don't say anything or there will be trouble. This is a robbery. I want 50's/100's.” Cahours received $1,377 in recorder funds. Cahours allegedly told the bank teller to give him the money in the second drawer, but the teller showed him there was no money in it. The bank teller informed law enforcement that the male placed the cash into a blue zippered bank bag and left. Local business pro-

FARGO — The State Board of Higher Education on Thursday approved stricter admission standards for the system’s two research institutions, which many hope will improve graduation and retention rates, as well as the schools’ reputations. Starting in fall 2016, North Dakota State University and the University of North Dakota will raise their minimum GPA from 2.5 to 2.75 and minimum ACT score from 21 to 22. High school students will also be required to enter their freshman year at these institutions with 13 core courses in 2016, 14 core courses in 2017 and 15 core courses in 2018. Under the new standards, 6 percent of NDSU’s and UND’s 2014 freshman classes would have been denied. An additional 17 percent of the research institutions’ 2014 freshmen classes have scores lower than the new minimums, but would have been admitted based on their other qualifications. These could include extracurricular activities or Advanced Placement courses, said Sonia Cowen, interim vice chancellor for academic and student affairs, in an interview after the vote. Cowen noted that taking AP classes might lower a high school student’s composite GPA but are “unbelievably helpful in preparing them to succeed

SENIOR HOUSING: Project involved federal, state, city funds FROM PAGE A1

LSS had contracted PETRA Inc. to work on the project with a contract running between November 2012 and May 2014, and followed the contract, but stopped work after payments were not being made to the company. Jessica Thomasson, director of LSS Housing, previously told the Herald funding agencies had yet to clear documentation to pay the contractor, and the owner had not run out of money to complete the project. PETRA was granted a city-issued sidewalk permit last year, and Tracy issued a conditional certificate of occupancy in the spring. City Engineer Bob Hanson said it was understood at the time that sidewalks and parking lots would be completed in short order. Jolene Kline, executive director of the North Dakota Housing Finance Agency, said her department allocated $611,026 in federal low income housing tax credits to Legacy

Living. Credits were purchased and syndicated by Enterprise Community Investment, Inc., bringing $5.4 million in equity to the project. NDHFA also provided $611,000 through the state's Housing Incentive Fund and $774,000 through the federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program to

support the renovation. Other key partners in the project included the city of Williston, North Dakota Department of Commerce, USDA Rural Development, First International Bank & Trust, and Lancaster Pollard. Overall, the project created 28 one-bedroom and 16 two-bedroom apart-

ments. Each of the units cost $225,000 to build. “All of that came together to allow him to start work this week,” Thomasson said. “We’re glad to see crews making such steady progress.” editor@willistonherald.com

proposed “an unnecessary overhaul of a highly functional system” that could cost the state well over $100 million by having to develop its own assessment tool. The council consists of 10 associations representing about 850 members, including superintendents, principals and vocational education directors. “If we would forge it alone, it would be incredibly expensive,” she said. Wetzel said the DPI has estimated it would cost about $750,000 to develop new state math and English standards and evaluate the subsequent test data that’s used to rank student performance. Testing would carry an ongoing cost of about $7 million every two years, he said. The estimates were prepared for legislators and others who have asked about the cost of withdrawing from Common Core and replacing it with something else, Wetzel said, noting they were well prepared before Kasper’s bill came up.

Landowners: Centralized pipeline info a good step BISMARCK — Landowners trying to help smooth relations between pipeline companies and property owners say a new Easement Information Center launched Tuesday by the North Dakota Petroleum Council is a good first step. Landowners Troy Coons, of Mountrail County, and Daryl Dukart, of Dunn County, were part of a rightof-way task force that met over several months to talk about easement problems and ways to solve them. Festering issues and landowner fatigue are causing lengthy delays in pipeline projects. Petroleum Council spokeswoman Tessa Sandstrom said pipeline companies say it's taking from 90 to 180 days to get easements signed. "And there are instances where it's tough to even get right-of-way," she said. The easement center webpage has a code of conduct for land agents, a printable document for landowners to gather all the necessary information about a pipeline before signing and a very short list, which will soon be expanded, of pipeline company contacts. Coons, who's also a member of the Northwest Landowners Association, said he'd hoped the task force would tackle pipeline reclamation, one of the biggest deterrents to good relations, and provide a standard easement that covers all the important bases. Neither happened, but Coons said he's hopeful that landowners and the oil industry will keep talking and build on what they've started.

Dukart, a member of the Dunn County Landowners Association, said the Easement Information Center is a good idea and improvements can "build it into something useable by the landowners and the companies." Dukart now has nine pipelines crossing his property. He said pipeline reclamation will get attention because so many organizations, from the Natural Resource Conservation Service, to the county extension office, are talking about it. Coons said his group will go to the Legislature for the third time in hopes of getting pipeline reclamation rules. He said the state needs to require baseline information about topsoil, organic matter and compaction so that when well pads or access roads are pulled up in 50 years, there's something to reference. He said 54,000 agricultural acres are already out of production in Mountrail County because of oil development. "If they keep drilling for another 20 years, with no baseline, what's the next generation going to deal with?" he said. Petroleum Council director Ron Ness said pipelines will solve gas flaring, traffic and dust in the Oil Patch. "We want to ensure lines of communication remain open between landowners and land agents and these resources are a step in that direction," Ness said.

Fargo man indicted on sex tafficking charges BY EMILY WELKER FORUM NEWS SERVICE

MOORHEAD – A Fargo man charged with sex trafficking is accused of harassing his victim to work for him as a prostitute for the past five months, authorities stated in court records filed Thursday. Willie Bernard Navy, 34, is charged in Clay County District Court with three counts of felony seconddegree sex trafficking. Police found the woman through her ad on the website backpage.com as part of an unrelated sex trafficking lead they were investigating, court documents state. An undercover police officer arranged to meet her Tuesday at a Moorhead motel room, the complaint states. The woman told police Navy brought her there from her apartment in Fargo and would take half of the money she made through having sex, court records state. She told police that Navy, who went by the name “Chill Will,” had pressured her to work as part of a stable of prostitutes since she met him in July at Fargo’s downtown bus station. Navy told her he knew how to make a lot of money with his prostitution ring, which he referred to as “the game.”

He offered to bring her to Williston, N.D., where he promised she would earn $500 to $1,000 an hour, she told investigators. The woman also told police she deliberately set her prices high in online ads in the hopes no one would respond, court documents state. This was the first time she worked for Navy, she told police.

North Dakota State Board of Higher Education chair Kirsten Diederich and interim Chancellor Larry Skogen talk about the results of the Higher Learning Commission Advisory Team Report at North Dakota State University’s Memorial Union on Tuesday, September 2 in Fargo.

ADMISSION: Higher standards aim to raise graduation rate FROM PAGE A1

in college,” which is why the new minimum requirements will be fluid. The standards apply only to first-time, full-time students under the age of 25, meaning primarily traditional freshmen, she said. Several board members expressed hope that the higher standards would raise graduation and retention rates, which consultant Tom Meredith had named as one of the system’s major problems earlier in the meeting. “If this gives us the opportunity to raise those, it is worth pursuing,” board member Kevin Melicher

said. Board member Don Morton said there is the possibility, however, that raising standards would have the opposite effect because of North Dakota’s low population. In an interview, Cowen said students who are denied by the research institutions might still end up in the state system. They could decide to go to regional colleges and two-year schools, which have lower standards, she said. Board member Grant Shaft said he supports the new standards, but also believes there should be a “continuing discussion” around them, perhaps in the

form of an ad hoc committee, which was suggested by Meredith. Student member Chris McEwen said the board should follow up to confirm that the standards were “at the very least correlating” with improved graduation and retention rates, which is one initiative of the board’s new strategic plan. Although proposed as part of the strategic plan in October, the new admission standards were not approved along with the

rest of the document. At the time, board members cited a lack of discussion as their reason for delaying that decision. “This is one step that makes our strategic plan complete,” Melicher said Thursday. Admission requirements were one of the most contentious pieces of former Chancellor Hamid Shirvani’s Pathways plan. These newly approved standards are not as strict as the ones he proposed.

The president and first lady Michelle Obama were taking in a midday meal with young people from the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in Cannonball. They were dining on pizza and burgers. The White House says that, during their visit to the reservation over the sum-

Today in History Today is Friday, Nov. 21, the 325th day of 2014. There are 40 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 21, 1864, a letter was signed by President Abraham Lincoln expressing condolences to Lydia Bixby, a widow in Boston whose five sons supposedly died while fighting in the Civil War. (As it turned out, only two of Mrs. Bixby’s sons had been killed in battle; also, historians are not certain that Lincoln actually wrote the letter.) On this date: In 1789, North Carolina became the 12th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. In 1861, Judah Benjamin, who had been acting Confederate Secretary of War, was formally named to the post. In 1922, Rebecca L. Felton of Georgia was sworn in as the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate. In 1934, the Cole Porter musical “Anything Goes,” starring Ethel Merman as Reno Sweeney, opened on Broadway. In 1942, the Alaska Highway, also known as the Alcan Highway, was formally opened at Soldier’s Summit in the Yukon Territory. In 1964, the upper level of New York’s Verrazano Narrows Bridge, connecting Brooklyn and Staten Island, was opened. In 1969, the Senate voted down the Supreme Court nomination of Clement F. Haynsworth, 55-45, the first such rejection since 1930.

Taxes and trade are the new test The economic news from abroad is not good. Japan has plunged into a recession and Europe could soon follow. America’s performance -- 3.5 percent annual growth, 5.8 percent unemployment rate -- looks positively robust by comparison. But the U.S. cannot escape the downdraft of foreign failures. “The United States is about the only growth beacon in the global economy right now,” economist Jacob Funk Kirkegaard of the Peterson Institute told The New York Times, “and that is not a very nice place to be.” Roberts In the face of this threat, there are two areas Rules where Congress and the president can act quickly to shore up the country’s economic Steve and Cokie defenses. One is reforming the corporate tax Roberts code. The other is promoting the international trade pacts now being negotiated with Asia and Europe. The outlook is hardly optimistic. Republican leaders in the House have buried a bipartisan immigration measure. President Obama has lost patience and promises to enact reforms by executive order. Republican leaders say unilateral action will “poison the well” on Capitol Hill and undermine cooperation on other issues. Their prediction is probably right, but their predilection is definitely wrong. That should not happen. The national interest is too important. The threat to our economic recovery is too great. As the president told a press conference in Myanmar last week: “The one thing that I think is going to be important to have a successful partnership over the next couple years is not making disagreements on a single issue suddenly a dealbreaker on every issue.” Any effort at a “successful partnership” could start with corporate taxes, an area of broad bipartisan agreement. As The New York Times put it, “The tax system for American corporations is, by all accounts, a mess. It places higher tax rates on businesses than most other advanced nations, yet raises less revenue relative to the economy thanks to a byzantine set of carve-outs and special deductions.” That corporate rate, 35 percent, encourages businesses to move overseas and protect their profits from U.S. tax collectors; more than $2 trillion is stashed abroad, according to independent research firm Capital Economics. Moreover, those “byzantine carve-outs” create inefficiencies and strangle growth. “The American dream is disappearing before our very eyes -- not because people don’t work hard. It’s because of the way we’ve structured the system,” Michael Porter of the Harvard Business School told The Washington Post. “The jobs that are a path to the American dream are few and far between. And that’s because of high corporate taxes.” Sen. Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican, insists that “we have an amazing degree of consensus about what to do” across party lines: Reduce the 35 percent rate by about onethird; minimize the “special deductions;” bring home the $2 trillion. A similar, if slightly shakier, consensus exists on trade. Organized labor, still a key democratic constituency, hates trade deals. And Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic leader, has cravenly caved to their demands. But now that Republicans have captured the Senate and Reid will no longer control the Senate calendar, “no policy area is riper for bipartisan action than trade,” notes the Post. Obama pushed hard for a trade deal during his recent Asian trip, but he admits that many Americans don’t see the value of foreign commerce. “We ... have to make sure that all of our people back home understand the benefits for them,” he said in China, “that it means more trade, more good jobs and higher incomes for people throughout the region.” The first task is to pass “fast track,” a law requiring an upor-down vote with no amendments on any trade pact. Without that, deals are much harder to negotiate in the first place, and much harder to get through Congress once a bargain is struck. Both sides want a showdown over immigration. Democrats relish the chance to solidify their hold on Hispanic and Asian voters, who backed Obama strongly in 2012 but wavered this year. Republicans are eager to brand the president as a lawbreaker who ignores the Constitution for political purposes. The toxic fallout from that confrontation seems inevitable. But it doesn’t have to poison every well or every relationship. There’s still time and space for a “successful partnership” over the next two years. None of this will be easy, or even likely. Unions still fiercely despise trade deals; businesses will fiercely defend their “special deductions.” But a partnership is what the voters want and what the country needs. Taxes and trade are the test. Steve and Cokie Roberts can be contacted by email at stevecokie@gmail.com.

Hail to the victors—again For the second straight year, and for what likely seems like the 50th time to their foes, the Minot High School girls swim team won the state championship Saturday. And for this squad of girls, the key word is team. In what certainly is not normal, Minot had no individual champions at the state meet, but when the final race was won, the girls from Minot High were again at the top of the podium, holding the most important trophy. Fittingly, the only race Minot won was the 4x100 freestyle relay, where four Minot girls worked together to claim the state title. Swimming, much like cross country and track, is an individual sport where great individuals lead to team titles. In every race, the individual is on his or her own, racing against others in the pool. Traditionally, the best team is one that has a small group of dominant individuals. One swimmer who wins three or four individual state tiles can often propel a team to the top of the podium. But in Minot's case, there were no dominant individuals. Instead, they had a dominant team. Race after race, Minot took advantage of finishes in the top eight to add to the team total. In winning state, this Minot team embraced the definition of team. We say congratulations and well done. Your hard work, persistence, dedication and, most importantly, teamwork has made all of us proud. We are certainly happy to welcome these state champions home. Well done. — Minot Daily News

Religion/Life

Opposition to the Kalam Cosmological Argument Last week I went over a popular argument for the existence of God called the Kalam Cosmological Argument. The argument is commonly posed like this: (1) Everything that begins to exist has a cause. (2) The universe began to exist. (3) Therefore, the universe has a cause. I gave several reasons to accept the first two premises as more true than their negation which means the conclusion follows. The first premise seems obviously true. We don’t ever experience things coming into being without a cause. I gave a philosophical and a few scientific reasons to believe the universe began to exist. There cannot be an actual infinite, the second law of thermodynamics shows that the universe is running out of usable energy, and other scientific discoveries that point to the universe having a beginning. When on trial, no matter how good a defense is, the prosecuting attorney will always have an objection. He will never give up while on trial. So I will share some common objections to this argument starting with the first premise, then the second premise and moving to the conclusion. What objections are there for the first premise? Some will say that at the quantum level virtual particles come in and out of existence spontaneously with no apparent cause. Some will say that the quantum vacuum is nothing. This objection does not work. For one, it may seem the virtual particles come into existence spontaneously with no cause, but we may not know what the cause is. Also, the particles do not come from nothing, but they come from the quantum vacuum. Some physicists like Lawrence Krauss say that this quantum vacuum is nothing. Calling the quantum vacuum “nothing” is very misleading because it’s something. It’s humorous listening to Krauss talk about nothing because he defines and uses it as if it’s something. Sorry Dr.

Krauss, but as Aristotle put it, nothing is what rocks dream about. When we have nothing for breakfast, The book we never of Aaron discuss how it tasted. Aaron Some Hanson people, in order to escape the conclusion, will admit that some things can begin to exist without a cause. William Lane Craig points out that this is actually worse than magic. When the magician pulls a rabbit out the hat, at least you got the magician. With the universe, you’ve got nothing for no reason. So if you deny magic, you should deny the notion that the universe came from nothing uncaused. Because out of nothing, nothing comes. If you have nothing in your savings account, there is no use checking to see if you have earned interest. What reasons are there to deny that the universe began to exist? Krauss is actually on record saying he would bet that the universe began to exist. Some astrophysicists and cosmologists say there are different models for the universe that is consistent with all the data that do not require a universe with a beginning. Despite their creative ability, they all fail for one reason or another. Take for example the oscillating universe. On this model, the universe expands and contracts on itself and then expands again, over and over again. This model doesn’t work because scientists see no reason that the universe will begin to shrink. The universe is expanding at an increasing rate. Another problem with this model is that entropy would carry over from each oscillation and each oscillation would be bigger than the previous. Rewind the tape and there would be a moment when this whole process began. There is another model of the universe that proposes that universes are birthed

from black holes from other universes. Stephen Hawkings admits he lost a bet saying that this was a possibility. He admitted he was wrong because there is information loss in black holes. And if there is information loss, a universe cannot be born. We can see that there isn’t any good reason to deny the first two premises and the conclusion follows. Richard Dawkins agrees with the first two premises and even agrees with the conclusion. What is his response? The cause doesn’t have to be God. Perhaps there will be future scientific discoveries that will give an answer to what the cause was. George Ellis is a brilliant cosmologist who some refer to as the person who knows more about cosmology than anyone else alive. In a recent interview he says that our knowledge is reaching the point where we cannot make any further discoveries in cosmology. We basically know everything we are able to know. So a plea that future science will answer what the cause of the universe is, is blind faith, a scientific-hope-of-the-gaps. What can we say about the cause not being God? Why should we think the cause is someone who listens to our prayers and minds what we do? Well, the argument isn’t concerned with all the attributes of God. So to say that the cause doesn’t listen to our prayers, so therefore it’s not God, is a silly objection. It still means there’s a cause that is timeless, spaceless, uncaused, personal, immaterial, and powerful. Those attributes are always ascribed to what we refer to as God. Some people ask, “What caused God?” I remember asking this question in 5th grade. The first premise is “everything that begins to exist has a cause” not “everything has a cause.” Did God begin to exist? If you are a monotheist, most likely the answer is no. So, God does not have or need a cause to exist. Comments and questions can be sent to ahanson@ harding.edu

Judge allows North Carolina city officials to resume pre-meeting prayers WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — A federal judge in North Carolina says sectarian prayers can resume before meetings of the Forsyth County commissioners.

U.S. District Judge James Beaty on Thursday removed a 2010 order banning commissioners from having clergy deliver pre-meeting prayers that refer to Jesus Christ or

other deities. Beaty allowed the American Civil Liberties Union to return to court if there is evidence commissioners discriminate against who can offer prayers.

FARGO — Gene Krenelka walks several miles daily, and each time, he likes to stop by a brick structure in front of Messiah Lutheran Church here to visit the ashes of his beloved wife, Lorraine. Her cremated remains are stored inside a niche in the columbarium, built in 2005 and flanked by paving stones and a bench. “I go down and run my finger over her name, and tell her what I’m doing that day,” said Krenelka, 87, of Fargo. Lorraine died in 2007 from Alzheimer’s disease. She and Gene had been married for 63 years. Interring the couple’s remains on church grounds was important to Lorraine, whose own parents were laid to rest in a cemetery next to her hometown church in Twin Valley, Minn. Since Messiah doesn’t have a cemetery, the option of cremation allows Gene and Lorraine to have an eternal resting place at the church. Krenelka built the niches himself in his basement – 40 of them in all, made of aluminum and water resistant wood. “It was a do-it-yourself project,” said Krenelka. The shell of the columbarium is concrete, surrounded by brick. Over a half dozen niches are filled, and another half dozen or so are spoken for. The niches are only available to Messiah church members, and when they’re all filled, there’s room to expand the columbarium. Cremation on the rise Cremation rates are rising steadily nationwide, as are the numbers of people in North Dakota and Minnesota who choose it over traditional burial for themselves or a loved one who’s died. The rate of cremation in the U.S. in 2012 was just over 43 percent – a big jump from 34 percent just five years before, according to the Cremation Association of North America. It’s projected to rise to nearly 49 percent in 2017 and nearly 59 percent by 2025. Cremation is most popular in Nevada at 74 percent and least popular in Mississippi at nearly 17 percent. North Dakota and Minnesota fall somewhere in between. In 2010, Minnesota had a nearly 50 percent cremation rate, while North Dakota’s was nearly 30 percent. Both are expected to rise another 9 to 10 percent by 2016. Riverside Cemetery in Fargo is the only cremator in the F-M area, with two cremation “retorts” or chambers on the grounds along the Red River. “We’re keeping both of those busy a good share of the time,” said Tom Shafer, manager of the Riverside

Cemetery Association. There are many options for cremated remains: keeping them at home, scattering them over a garden or other property with permission, or more often, placing them in a columbarium in a church or cemetery. Several local churches and a handful of cemeteries have columbaria on site, either indoors in a chapel or outdoors in a weatherproof structure. Why cremation? Krenelka’s chief reason for choosing cremation was to follow his wife’s wishes, but for others, it’s a matter of practicality. “Cost would probably be at the top of the list,” Shafer said. Larry Boulger, owner of Boulger Funeral Home in Fargo, said the disposition of a loved one’s body is sometimes dictated by the kind of medical expenses they’ve dealt with in the last months or years of their life. “That can really change a person’s options,” Boulger said. In an effort to keep costs of a loved one’s death to a bare minimum, Shafer said some people will go so far as to ask if they can transport a body to the crematory themselves, sidestepping the funeral home. But Shafer said to be in compliance with state laws, a licensed funeral home must always be involved. “We aren’t licensed to pick up a body, but the funeral home is,” Shafer said. He said in most cases, the least expensive option is direct cremation – when a funeral home takes a body directly to a crematory. CANA says the cost of cremation in 2010 with limited memorial services and a basic urn was about $1,650, based on a national average. The National Funeral Directors Association in 2012 said the median cost of a traditional funeral, not including a burial vault, cemetery and monument costs or flowers, was $7,045. “Why should I spend all that money on a casket?” is the sentiment the Rev. Steve Berntson said he sometimes hears from Messiah parishioners. For people who choose cremation but still want a casket, they can opt for a rental casket or buy one that is meant to be incinerated.

More than cost Other factors behind increasing cremation rates have to do with societal changes. Cremated remains and the place in which they’re stored take up much less space and land than traditional burial grounds, and require less effort to maintain. Cremation also seems to better fit our increasingly mobile society, where people aren’t “putting down roots” like they used to, and may not feel the need to stake out family burial plots or even visit a permanent grave site. Religions have also become more accepting of cremation. The Catholic Church lifted its ban on cremation in the early 1960s, and in the late 1990s said cremated remains could be present at Catholic funeral Mass. While a few columbaria in the F-M area are tied to Catholic churches or cemeteries, more have ties to Lutheran denominations. Berntson said he would not discourage cremation from a theological point of view. He said the body that God re-creates in the resurrection is of a different form and nature than the physical one, which decomposes through combustion and is returned to dust. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a slow burn or a fast burn,” Berntson said. Changing views Local funeral homes are right in the midst of those evolving views of how to remember and honor a person’s life. Boulger said 20 to 30 years ago, 90 percent of funeral services were held in churches. Now, it’s only about 50 percent, he said. “We’re running into more folks who don’t have a strong affiliation with a religious organization,” Boulger said. There are also more options for personalizing services and a person’s final resting place. “Some want a memorial service, a full funeral service or no services at all,” he said. Boulger said funeral directors need to adapt to changes that come with their customers’ changing wishes. “We look at it long and hard,” said Boulger. “What will people want 10 years from now?”

Cityʼs storage needs to meet future demands and develop an operational protocol for management of the system. The city has approached WAWS for support in this study as there is some shared benefit with WAWS from this study and it may be something in the future they would like to do themselves.

and the cityʼs traffic consultant of the April 22, 2014 site visit, April 22, 2014, City Commission meeting, and May 20, 2014 ad hoc. (Copy of the summary of this memo is attached) • Further information from the ND DoT is necessary to clarify the improvements to Highway 1804 tying to the proposed four lane highway and/or safety improvements including a three lane consideration. NDDOT District Engineer Walt Peterson stated in an e-mail of August 12, 2014, that the ND DOT will have a couple consultants working on projects for this area. One consultant will look at 1804 from the new proposed east truck route, east for 20 miles. After ND DOT determines that location, we will have another consultant begin the section from railroad overhead to the new truck route. The year 2016 would probably the earliest we can get something on the ground. Design will be based on traffic numbers and projected traffic. I have had discussions with Bismarck on the need to 4 lane the section from railroad overhead to the new truck route. • The speed limit on Highway 1804 should go down to a maximum of 40 miles per hour zone east of the project site. ND DOT District Engineer Walt Peterson stated in an e-mail of August 12, 2014 that there is no intent at this time to decrease the speed limit to 40 miles per hour.

• Shorts Ice awareness for ND hunters, anglers Winter anglers and late-season hunters are reminded to consider ice conditions before traveling onto and across North Dakota lakes, as most small and mid-sized waters currently give the appearance of safe foot travel. State Game and Fish Department boat and water safety coordinator Nancy Boldt said ice thickness is never consistent, especially this time of the year, and can vary significantly within a few inches. “The edges become firm before the center,” Boldt said. “So, with your first step the ice might seem like it is strong enough, but it may not be anywhere near solid enough once you progress away from the shoreline.” This was apparent last weekend as one hunter experienced this while trying to retrieve a duck that had landed on ice. “He went through up to his neck and his waders filled with water, and the freezing temperature instantly took his breath away,” Boldt said.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

Union appeals Adrian Peterson’s suspension The NFL players’ union on Thursday appealed the league’s suspension of Adrian Peterson and demanded an independent, neutral arbitrator hears the case. In a letter to its player representatives and executive committee obtained by The Associated Press, the NFLPA called Commissioner Roger Goodell’s punishment “unprecedented, arbitrary, and unlawful.” The union also accused Troy Vincent, the NFL’s executive vice president of football operations, of telling Peterson that the games he missed on a special exempt list would count as time served toward a suspension. League officials declined comment to the AP. Goodell on Tuesday suspended Peterson without pay for the rest of the season and told him he will not be considered for reinstatement before April 15 for his violation of the NFL personal conduct policy. Peterson pleaded no contest Nov. 4 to misdemeanor reckless assault in Texas for injuries to his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch.

RB Tate joins Vikings after rough ride with Browns EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Ben Tate’s first practice with the Minnesota Vikings had just finished, bringing the total time at his new team’s facility to about six hours. Trying to figure out how the fifth-year running back will fit in the offense this weekend, let alone the rest of the season and beyond, would have to wait. Waived by the Cleveland Browns two days ago, Tate didn’t even have the opportunity to peek at the playbook before he had to put on his gear and head to the field. “We’ve got iPads and stuff now,” Tate said, “so that’s good.” The Vikings host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, and running back Matt Asiata has not yet passed the post-concussion protocol required before he can practice. Running back Jerick McKinnon was held out on Wednesday with a lower-back injury, though he took part in a limited basis on Thursday.

Boys basketball season is coming Williston’s Joren Falcon powers his way to the basket in a game last season against Sidney, Mont. The Williston basketball teams and Class B boys basketball will be highlighed in our second Winter Sports Preview on Dec. 5.

Manfred given 5-year term as baseball commissioner KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Praising the transition as quick and orderly, Bud Selig announced Thursday that baseball owners unanimously approved a five-year term for Rob Manfred, who will succeed the longtime commissioner early next year. Selig spoke at the conclusion of two days of meetings in Kansas City, where owners discussed a variety of issues that included pace of play, instant replay and domestic violence initiatives. Selig will chair his final owners’ meeting in January in Arizona.

“I’ve been so busy and every day is so frenetic that the last month or two, I’m sure I’ll spend a lot of time thinking about it,” Selig said, “but you know, we are where we want to be. We’re having a wonderful transition, orderly transition, good transition. That’s very important.” Manfred, who has worked for MLB since 1998, was chosen to replace the 80-year-old Selig in August over Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner. He will assume office Jan. 25. “It hits me every day when I go to work,” Manfred said.

Peterson has said he intended no harm to his son, only discipline. The 2012 NFL MVP played just one game for the Minnesota Vikings this season and was paid part of his $11.75 million during the leave. He will keep the money accrued while on the exempt list. But the NFL’s punishment now amounts to a 14-game ban, with six unpaid weeks. That’s the equivalent of a fine of more than $4.1 million. Goodell announced Aug. 28 tougher punishment for players involved with domestic violence. That action stemmed from a torrent of criticism for the initial leniency toward former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, who was caught on camera hitting his thenfiancee and knocking her unconscious on an elevator in an Atlantic City casino. Rice was later suspended indefinitely and recently had his appeal heard by an arbitrator. According to the enhanced policy, first offenses of assault, battery or domestic violence bring a six-game suspension.

Bills’ home game against Jets relocated to Detroit BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Snowed out in Buffalo, the Bills are heading to Detroit to play their “home” game against the New York Jets on Monday night. The NFL announced the location and date of the game on Thursday night after a severe lake-effect storm paralyzed much of the Buffalo region. More than 5 feet of snow has fallen in the Buffalo area since Monday, and another 1

to 3 feet was projected to fall by Friday. The storm forced the Bills to cancel their past two days of practice because of impassable roads and driving bans in Orchard Park and many communities neighboring Ralph Wilson Stadium. The team intends to travel to Detroit on Friday and practice at the Lions’ facility. The Lions are at New England on Sunday.

A transition period

Thank you for your cooperation. Mark Jones Sports Editor

There’s plenty of sports to watch during winter season

he high school sports scene is broken up into three parts - fall, winter and spring. In all of my years of covering high school sports, the winter season has always been my favorite. I won’t lie to you. I am a basketball fan, but I also happen to be a hockey fan. While The Press basketball Box is a physical sport, hockey Mark is an intense Jones one, and is quite enjoyable to watch. In the area, Williston High School has both a boys and girls basketball and hockey teams. Williston State College also has a men’s and women’s basketball team. The Tetons are also the two-time defending NJCAA champions in hockey. With wrestling and swimming mixed in there should be something for every sports fan to take in during these cold months. And let’s not forget about Class B basketball. There is just something about Class B basketball that makes it magical. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the Region 8 basketball tournaments are my favorite events to cover throughout the year. This Winter Sports Preview is the first of a two-part series. While this will focus on high school hockey and Williston State College, we will swift our gear to Class A basketball in a few weeks. We hope you enjoy it.

Returning Williston goalkeepers Maddy McLees and Kennon Schmit will give the Lady Coyotes experience between the pipes this season. McLees, a sophomore, and Schmit, a freshman, are part of a Williston squad that has no seniors this season. The Lady Coyotes lost six players off of last season’s team to graduation.

Lady Coyotes have no seniors on this season’s team By Mark Jones Williston Herald

During the 2013-14 high school hockey season, the Williston Lady Coyotes enjoyed a very successful season. A lot of that success was credited to six seniors on the team. As the 2014-15 season draws near, the Lady Coyotes are facing a transition period. Williston will have no seniors on this season’s roster and only two juniors. Still, the expectations to

But Ekblad expects others to step up their play. “We are in transition to a new season,” he said. “We’ve got a bunch of girls in there (locker room) that are capable of scoring and capable

have another successful season are there. “Like I told the girls, there are no excuses that we can’t have a successful season,” said Williston girls hockey coach Mat Ekblad. “There was a lot of offense and defense that walked a crossed that stage (graduation).” While the Lady Coyotes lost a lot of talent last season, Ekblad is quick to point out that his team has

of leading.” Underclassmen Kaia Wenstad, Carly Collings, Bethanie Pippin, Jana Mischke and Elizabeth Goebel saw significant action. Those returning players and many others learned a lot from former players Sam Miller, Keely Kleven, Amanda Nelson, Morgan Watterson, Sydney Haux and Jordan Hill. “Those kids showed these kids how hard it takes to be a upper seed (at state).” Williston should be experienced between the pipes as sophomore Maddy McLees and freshman Kennon Schmidt both return. “Both plenty have minutes logged from the past (few seasons),” the Williston coach said. The strength of the team is speed. “They’ve got a lot of team speed,” Ekblad said. “And on our rink, it will be beneficial

to our team.” Ekblad says the team will need to make the most of its speed. “We’re not real big,” he said. “So we are going to have to rely on our speed to crash the next for second and third opportunities. The lack of experience is an area of concern for the Williston coach. “The girls have to mentally prepare themselves to be ready to go,” Ekblad said. “We are still trying to find an identity.” Williston will open the season Tuesday at home against Dickinson. The two teams will likely be fighting for one of the final spots to state. “Dickinson is similar to us,” the Williston coach said. “They’ve got a bunch of youth on their team. But Dickinson is an improving team. I hope we can come out and play consistent hockey.”

WHS boys hockey is up and coming Coyotes have a good, young group BY Mark Jones Williston Herald

While the Williston High School boys hockey team has been down over the past few season, the 2014-15 season could be provide fans with a glimpse of the future of Williston hockey. “We will be young,” said Williston boys hockey coach Dustin Bratlien. “We’ve got a new bantham group moving up.” During the offseason, the Coyotes received both good news and bad news. The bad news: Last season’s leading scorer Tristen Slemin moved out of the area. He finished last season with 13 goals and three assists. The good news: Camden Haugenoe, who suffered a season-ending injury in the first game of last season, has been given a clean bill of health and will between the pipes. And Haugenoe has been preparing for the high school season. “He’s playing in one of the elite leagues ‘They in North work hard. Dakota and Minnesota,” They all Bratlien get along said.

And the loss of Slemin, Williston their overlost Adam all hockey Kemp, knowledge is Travis Kuhn, Tate better than Barbot to where its graduation. been.’ Kemp, Kuhn and Dustin Bratlien Barbot Williston High were among Hockey coach Williston’s leading scorers last season. Senior Josh Davis is Williston’s top returning scorer. He finished the 2013-14 season with nine points - four goals and five assists. The Coyotes do have eight returning seniors, who should assume roles as leaders on the team. Among the seniors are Austin Arndt, Bailey Zaste, Jared Schwan, Corey Cayko, Chase Olson, Chase Axness, Brett Wenstad and Davis. “We have very good varsity experience, the Williston coach said. The Coyotes have 36 kids out for hockey this season, which is a step in the right direction. “Numbers will create competition,” the Williston coach said. Bratlien expects his team will have a slow start to the season, but is hopeful things

Class B Girls Basketball A preview of area Class B girls basketball season Profiles compiled by Mark Jones

Watford City Wolves

Trenton Tigers

Head coach: John Zenz

Head coach: Bob Turcotte

2013 season: The Lady Wolves finished 20-8 and won the District 15 and Region 8 tournaments to earn a berth in the state tournament.

2013 season: 14-9 Key returners: Madysen Houle, Maycie Brunelle, Emilee Falcon, Lakota Loomis, Kathrun Handeland, Noelle Hove, Morgan Johnson and Mercedes Trowbridge

Key returners: “We have a good group of girls returning, including three all-staters - Katie Mogen, Kara Langerud and Ricki Lindley,” Zenz said. “We also have back a couple of girls that played some valuable minutes for us in Lea Arndt, April Spruell and MacKenzie Sparby.

Thoughts on the season: “The team is excited about the upcoming season,” Turcotte said. “We will be moving to District 15 this year after being in District 16 for the past 18 years due to NDHSAA district realignment. We look forward to the challenge of playing quality competition and steadily improving throughout the year.”

Thoughts on the season: “We have a good group of girls returning,” Zenz said. “And if we work on improving day in and day out, we should have a shot at winning our district and region.”

Goals: “We hope to be a well-rounded team come tournament time,” Turcotte said. “Our goal is to work hard this year, while being sure to enjoy the game along the way we hope to improve throughout the season and play competitively in the district tournament. We would like nothing more than to reach our potential as a team and just see how good we really can be,”

Goals: “Our goals for the season are to improve every day and play to the best of our abilities,” Zenz said. “If we do those things, we will have a good season.” Team strengths: “We have some quality experience back that have experienced success and know what it takes,” the Watford City coach said, “We have good depth on our squad, and after the first two days of practice, we are getting good contributions from all 12 girls. As a squad, we like to think our strength is playing pressure defense and transitioning up and down the court.”

Team strengths: “We return good experience and talent,” the Trenton coach said,. “We do have four returning starters and our entire bench. We feel our inside game will have some good potential. Our perimeter game is decent, too.”

Team weaknesses: “In the past, our weakness has been our ability to score from the outside,” Zenz said. “Hopefully, the girls have been working on that in the off-season and our percentages will rise from the 3-point line. Also our depth is a bit in question. We have to play a little smaller than we thought.”

Team weaknesses: “We do need to improve on the finer things though: free throw shooting, ball handling, and proper defensive techniques,” Turcotte said, The team will not have any seniors on the team.

Tioga Pirates

Ray Jays

Head coach: Trent Roemmich

Head coach: Matt Ray

2013 season: 1-18

2013 season: Not available

Key returners: Marissa Olson (senior), Cheyenne Liedle (junior), Libby Brimhall (junior), Jayden Hodges (junior) and Tayla Dean (sophomore)

Key returners: Sidnee Nelson will be Ray’s top returning player from last season. The senior averaged 10 points and eight rebounds per game.

Goals: “My hope, this season, is to have a balanced attack on offense,” Ray said. “So we can make a great showing at the (Region 8 tournament).” Team strengths: “A great group of girls that work hard together,” Ray said. “And have already made the state playoffs in volleyball. Would be the No. 1 strength of this team.” Team weaknesses: “The biggest weakness will be learning a new system and having a new coach,” Ray said. “That could be a strength also if they except and respond to the program.”

Team strengths: “We have a bunch of girls that are willing to work hard on a regular basis,” the Tioga coach said, “And have a great work ethic. They all want to improve as players and will go the extra distance to do so,” Team weaknesses: “One of the biggest weaknesses as a team last year was scoring. Early on, we will be looking for consistency out of everyone,” Roemmich said.

2013 season: 17-7 Key returners: Stanley will have four starters back from last season - Maddie Meiers, Vern Enander, Brianna Holland and Savanah Meyer. Thoughts on the season: “We have a good core group of girls to be very competitive in the region,” Roemmich said. “We lost our leading scorer and rebounder from last year, but there will have to be girls who step up and fill in the roles as the season goes on. If our girls can work together as a team, I think we can accomplish some great things this year.” Goals: “Our goals is to meld as a team and become one solid unit on the floor,” Roemmich said. “Defensively, I want us to be a team that other teams dislike playing due to our defensive intensity. That aggression has to start in practice and transfer to the games. Offensively, I want us to continue to improve our shooting.” Team strengths: “I would say we play together well as a team,” Roemmich said. “Good core of returning starters from last year. Our defense is one of our strengths. Ball movement and relocating on offense. Passing will also be a strength.” Team weaknesses: “Size,” the Stanley coach said. “We aren’t the biggest team in the league. Rebounding could be, if we don’t box out every time. You can always get better at dribbling and finishing plays at the hoop.”

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

New era of WSC hoops

By Mark Jones Williston Herald

A new era of Williston State College men’s basketball is under way. Under the direction of first year head coach Cory Fehringer, the Tetons are off to a 6-1 record on the season. The Tetons fell from the ranks of the unbeaten last weekend with a 90-85 loss to Gillette College. The Tetons have 15 players on the roster, who have never played a game together. So, Williston State is building to play its best basketball come February. “It all takes time,” Fehringer said. “We are eager to play better basketball. These guys enjoy each other’s company.” The Tetons are coming off a 27-6 season a year ago, and lost in the Region XIII tournament title game to North Dakota State College of Science. In addition to losing then head coach Eric Peterson to the University of South Dakota, Williston State also lost Trey Dickerson (Iowa), Tre Burnette (South Dakota) and Deji Adekunle (Northwestern State) to Division I programs. However, Fehringer has assembled an athletic group of players that should make the 2014-15 season an exciting one for Williston State. Gilberto Shojgreen and Xavier Cruz come to Williston State College from Dakota College where they played under Fehringer. In a 110-94 loss to the Tetons on Jan. 16, Shojgreen and Cruz combined to score 22 points on 9-of-18 shooting. “Both of those two are great kids,” the Williston State College coach said.

“And understand the Glendive, Mont. concepts we are trying to “Typically, you are able to emphasize in our program.” identify goals in season, but Williston State also has during the transition (coachseveral key returners back ing change) everything will from last season, including come in time.

WILLISTON HERALD

Teacher was forced into early retirement Dear Annie: Two years ago, at the age of 62, I was forced to take early retirement from my teaching job. My pension is miniscule, and despite trying to find full-time work, I have only been able to string together part-time jobs. I have been divorced for 20 years, so there is no one else in my life to depend on financially. My days are consumed with trying to make ends meet, and as a result, I have no time or money for a personal life. I can’t afford to travel, my grown children are busy with their own lives, and my friends have spouses or grandchildren who keep them occupied. I can’t even attend church, because I need to work on Sundays. I spend evenings, weekends and sometimes holidays alone, so I turn on the TV or radio to simulate human voices. I’m fit, intelligent and in good health. I want to know what I’m supposed to do with the rest of my life, because it appears I am going to spend it alone. How can I get out of this rut? -- Indy Dear Indy: Take some of that time spent in front of the TV and do something that doesn’t require money. Volunteer at your local hospital, library or veterans association. The Salvation Army welcomes volunteers on holidays. You might make some friends in the process, but

Annie’s Mailbox

regardless, instead of feeling lonely, you will be out helping others, and that will take your mind off of your problems and lift your spirits.

Dear Annie: My sister has a friend whose son is getting married. The woman is also an acquaintance of mine, but I never hear from her, and I’ve not seen her son in three years. My mother received an invitation to the bridal shower, and my name was also listed on the envelope. My mother is on a fixed income, and we could not afford a gift, so we didn’t attend the shower. A couple of weeks later, a wedding invitation arrived with my mother’s and sister’s names on it. When I didn’t receive an invitation of my own, I assumed I was not invited. I didn’t give it another thought. Well, the friend called my mom, and I picked up the phone. She asked whether I was coming to the wedding, and I stammered and handed the phone to my mother, who said she was sorry but neither of us could make it. The friend then told my sister she was very hurt that I hadn’t responded. She said the reason

I didn’t get an invitation was because she didn’t have my address, which is a load of baloney. She sent the shower invitation to me at my mother’s. Should I feel bad about not responding to a wedding I wasn’t invited to? I’ve thought about sending her a note of apology, but I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong. -- Tired of the Drama Dear Tired: It sounds like this friend invited your mother, and when you picked up the phone, she felt obligated to say she intended to invite you as well. But you are right that she easily could have obtained your address from your sister or mother. No, you do not have to RSVP for a wedding you were not invited to. But it might help smooth over the hard feelings if you send a card to the bride and groom with your very best wishes. Dear Annie: As a recently retired physician, may I add to your advice to “Slowly Falling Out of Love”? A patient once came to me with severe fatigue and lassitude, saying, “I can barely put one foot in front of the other.” He turned out to be profoundly hypothyroid, and treatment with gradually increasing doses of thyroid medication gave him his life back. “Slowly’s” husband needs a complete medical evaluation by a thinking physician. -- Patricia

By Phillip Alder Augie Boehm has spent his life playing bridge and the piano. He describes it in the enjoyable “Big Deal” (Bridge World Books). Boehm writes about the players he knew, some of the famous cheating scandals and the musical shows with bridge themes that he has appeared in and helped to write. He gives the lyrics to some songs, including my favorite, “Overbidder” by Don Simmons, which you sing to the music for “Old Man River.” He also reprints some of his articles, many of which appeared in The Bridge World magazine. When young, the author played bridge at a Manhattan club known as The Bucket, where he started a lifelong partnership with Richard Margolis, who became a rabbi and is also an excellent player. Margolis found a great bid in this deal from the final day of the 1999 Reisinger Board-aMatch Teams in Boston. Look at the North hand and the auction. What would you have bid over West’s five diamonds, which showed slam interest in hearts? It looks obvious to raise to six diamonds, or perhaps even jump to seven diamonds, hoping to bounce your opponents into a hopeless grand slam. Margolis did better -- he bid six clubs. East doubled, North ran to six diamonds, and West doubled that. But the contract was unbeatable! Boehm drew the missing trump and crossruffed home. Why bid six clubs? Because if the opponents had gone to six hearts, South would have led the club nine, a suitpreference signal for spades. The defense would have gone: club to the ace, spade ruff and club ruff for down two.

from getting ahead. Strive for perfection. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Be considerate of other people’s feelings. A hurtful remark could cause a wide rift between you and someone special. Make helpful suggestions instead of criticisms. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Collaborations and emerging partnerships look favorable. Your innovative ideas will draw attention, bringing you the support and help of influential people. You will dazzle everyone with your creative ideas. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Money spent improving your home will bring you pleasure and improve your standard of living. Offering a place where everyone can congregate is a great way to introduce some low-cost entertainment and celebration. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will need to do a little digging to learn what is really going on around you. It’s possible that someone is trying to undermine you or sully your reputation. Don’t believe everything you hear. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t leave projects unfin-

ished. Go down your to-do list until you have completed everything that’s expected of you. Once everything’s crossed off, you’ll feel free to do as you please. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your charisma will not go unnoticed. Spread the cheer with family and friends. Consider throwing a party, or go somewhere inviting. A romantic connection is heating up. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Love is on the rise. Get out and enjoy some local entertainment. Stick to your budget and avoid adding stress to your life. You can’t buy love. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You’ll feel blue if you dwell on disappointments. Visiting someone who brings you joy will help you move past any regrets you are harboring. Move forward, because you cannot change the past. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Business deals and job changes feature prominently today. If there is a particular position you desire, pick up the required skills and give it your best shot. A golden opportunity is apparent.
