Oil sets a new production record North Dakota reports 1.09 million barrels a day in June BY ERIC KILLELEA WILLISTON HERALD
• Inside
The North Dakota Oil and Gas Division said Friday the Williston Basin rig count has continued to gradually increase. The state produced an all-time high of 1.09 million
barrels per day in June. The Bakken and Three Forks formations produced 96 percent of the oil, said Lynn Helms, director of the state’s Department of Mineral Resources. The state had a new alltime high of 11,079 producing wells, and 70 percent
were unconventional wells in the Bakken and Three Forks formations. Friday’s rig count was 194, an increase from 192 in July and 190 in June. The day’s sweet crude price was $79.50 per barrel, a decrease from $86.20 per barrel in July and $90.03 per
barrel in May. “The drilling rig count was up one from May to June, and up two more from June to July,” Helms said. “The number of well completions increased as weather impacts eased in June with significant rainfall on two days near Minot

The Great Northwest Regional Education System has secured federal funding for the Community After School Club in 11 schools in northwest North Dakota. CASC will start in September. The after-school program gives priority to at-risk students based on a weighted scale including academic

and one day near Dickinson. However, there were still six to eight days with wind speeds in excess of 35 MPH, [which was] too high for completion work.” The state produced an all-time high of 1.2 million
achievement levels in reading and math, free/reduced lunch eligibility and homeless students who are eligible for McKinney-Vento services. District No. 1 Superintendent Viola LaFontaine said the program will benefit students who need the most help. “CASC provides an academically-based program that focuses on providing support for the children who
will benefit most,” she said. Applications for the Williston program may be obtained online at www.willistonschools.org, at participating elementary schools or the district office. The applications may be submitted to Sara Kasmer, manager of CASC, at skasmer@hotmail. com. Williston Public School District No. 1 would like to thank Dave Richter, the GNWREC director, for writing
and submitting the proposal for the grant. A local community group is working on securing additional funding through donations to help support the Williston after-school program as the federal funding does not meet the need to support the program fully. For information on how to support the program, contact LaFontaine at drviola.lafontaine@willistonschools.org or 701-572-1580.
Williston residents have submitted a petition to local and state agencies to seek help against excessive noise levels and air pollution created by high volumes of traffic at the Highway 2 and 11th Street intersection. Residents Preston Persson and Andrew Banta were the lead petitioners of the document which was signed by 64 residents living in the vicinity of construction. The petition said excessive traffic noise has “created more noise and air pollution for our existing neighborhoods.” The Williston City Commission received the petition Tuesday night. The petition asked the board, the Williams County Commission and the North Dakota Department of Transportation to mitigate the unwanted effects of construction and traffic. “We need to have another study done, both for noise and air pollution, when construction is all said and done,” the petition read. Mayor Howard Klug said the city has approved road projects that will help, for example, the truck reliever route to be completed next year.

Traffic can officially move easier around the west side of Williston. After the grand opening of 32nd Avenue West, vehicles moving from highways 2 and 85 to 26th Street West can avoid the pitfalls of road construction and traffic. The new road, which runs through the Granite Peaks subdivision, where the new Menards is being built, to the Harvest Hills subdivision will allow drivers to bypass West Dakota Parkway where an underpass is being constructed near 18th Street. The official ribbon cutting ceremony was held a week ago, and the road has been open since. “It will also help reduce traffic on West Dakota Parkway by providing another access point to US Highway 2 and 85 for westbound and southbound traffic,” Economic Development Executive Director Tom Rolfstad said. “This is a classic example of what a public and private working agreement can accomplish,” said Mayor Howard Klug. The opening of 32nd

Celebrating 125 years By Katherine Lymn Forum News Service
BISMARCK -- It’s technically called a quasquicentennial, but for North Dakotans it meant gathering outside -- despite some rain -- for music. While the state’s actual 125th anniversary of statehood is Nov. 2, which will see a more formal celebration, North Dakota talent gathered Saturday at the Capitol Mall for speeches from leaders and some homegrown music. “We’re here because we love North Dakota and we wanted to be a part of the big celebration,” said Eunice Wolf of Bismarck. Wolf and others spent much of the morning looking at the sky, hoping the clouds could keep hold of the rain, but soon after the speeches got started, the rain fell. Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley called the crowds that stuck it out “the heartiest of the heartiest,” and joked that they should all be nominated for Rough Rider Awards.
State enthusiasts enjoyed performances from an array of artists, including the Medora Musical’s Burning Hills Singers, Jessie Veeder of Watford City, and Tigirlily of Hazen, also known as Kendra and Krista Slaubaugh. Gov. Jack Dalrymple also joined in as an entertainer. He led a singing of “Happy Birthday” to the state, and in his remarks compared the economic boom and entrepreneurship the state is seeing today to the values of North Dakotans 125 years ago. “We have always known we were No. 1,” he said. “Now the rest of the nation knows it, too.” Dalrymple rattled off North Dakota’s growing list of good rankings, from low unemployment rate to increasing personal income. The governor, who had a lot of his own family members at the event, described how Oliver Dalrymple, his great-great-grandfather, moved to Casselton in 1875 -- 14 years before North Dakota became a state.
TRAFFIC: Builds momentum From Page A1
Avenue will provide another traffic route for drivers heading to work, home and shopping “This is momentum building,” said Terry Metzler of Granite Peak Development. “This will tie together residential, retail and medical services and attract more businesses to Williston.” In exchange for producing the right-of-way for the installation of a gas-gathering system, Oasis Petroleum agreed to complete the dirt work and installed a box culvert on 32nd Avenue. The road will connect Harvest Hills to Granite Peak’s Sand Creek Town Centre,
where — in addition to Menards — potential retailers include a large grocery store, national sporting goods store, national jeweler and clothing stores. City Engineer Bob Hanson said while the road is open, work is not done. “Parts of the road are under construction still,” he said. “Please look out for construction workers.” The city of Williston, Granite Peak Development, LLC, and Hagan Family Partnerships were key entities involved in the project. Other major players include Oasis Petroleum, Sanderson & Stewart, Knife River Corporation and Acme Concrete.

cubic feet of natural gas per day in June. “U.S. natural gas storage is now 19 percent below the five-year averag,e indicating increasing prices in the future,” Helms said. “North Dakota shallow gas exploration could be economic at future gas prices.” The price of natural gas delivered to Northern Bor-
der at Watford City is down $0.31 to $3.56/MCF. This results in a current oil to gas price ratio of 22-to-1. The percentage of gas flared remained at 28 percent, as the Hess Corp. Gas Plant in Tioga remained below full capacity due to delayed expansion of gas gathering from south of Lake Sakakawea. The historical high flaring rate was 36 percent in Sep-
tember 2011. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has published an advanced notice of proposed rule-making to seek comment on the information that should be reported or disclosed for hydraulic fracturing chemical substances and mixtures and the mechanism for obtaining this information. The proposed rule-making is in response to a peti-
tion from Earthjustice and 114 other groups who are opposed to the use of the GWPC-IOGCC FracFocus website process of chemical disclosure and any type of trade secret protection for hydraulic fracturing fluid mixtures. These groups are requesting EPA regulation of chemical disclosure under the federal Toxic Substances Control Act.
NOISE: City says it will conduct study after construction From Page A1
per benefited receptor cost analysis. Resident Dan Shupe asked if the city or state was in charge of noise maintenance. He asked if the city could help pay the cost. “It’s like living near an airport,” Shupe said. “Everyone on this street is going to take a hit when it comes time to sell their houses.” Commissioner Brad Bekkedahl believed it would be an NDDOT expense. “If there is a checkbook involved, the responsibility
is probably theirs,” he said. The board was told residents have exchanged letters with the NDDOT and Gov. Jack Dalrymple, who have expressed their concern on the matter, but recognized the inconveniences are part of reaching the end goal of the project. “It is unfortunate your neighborhood has been affected in this way,” Dalrymple said to Banta in an email. “It is my hope that once all the improvements have been made, the noise complaints you expressed in
your letter will be a concern of the past.” Residents said they will begin testing noise within the project limits. The board said it will consider a study after construction, but will review the NDDOT’s quantifications within the project limit. At the request of residents, the board said it will also provide detailed police reports regarding noise complaints. “We won’t drop the ball on this,” said Commissioner Tate Cymbaluk.
Threats to historic Indian villages under study
XNLV165294
I received my B.A. from a small American university in London, England. The experience was life changing and I wouldn’t take it back for anything, but my student loans got pretty out of control while I was there. After I graduated I tried to make it in Seattle for a few years, but I was just scraping by on tips from serving and bartending. It turned out that, despite my international experiences, my lack of work in a professional field was crippling in the city. When one of the restaurants I was working for filed bankruptcy I decided that was my opportunity to come try my hand in Williston. I wanted out of the food service industry and I kept hearing you could get a job doing anything in North Dakota. I tried a few different jobs when I first arrived and after a few months I landed a job at the Williston Herald. It’s been a dream come true. I am saving money, gaining professional experiences and I am able to be creative at my job as well. I’ve had my ups and downs here like most people, but I try to remember what I am gaining from my time here, rather than dwell on what I’ve lost.
RECORD: Natural gas also sets a record as price slips a little
“We’re not done yet,” Klug said. When the truck reliever route is complete, “it will be a true expressway around the city.” The city board agreed that a study on noise and air pollution should be completed. The NDDOT has said noise abatement for several options did meet the feasibility requirements of the state, however, noise abatement measures were not deemed reasonable because they exceeded $20,000

STANTON (AP) — The head of the only national site in the United States that preserves the homelands of the Northern Plains Indians says it’s time to deal with nature-made threats to the site’s archaeology. Wendy Ross, superintendent of the Knife River Indian Villages National Historic Site, said erosion, flooding, burrowing rodents and trees with invasive roots are damaging the

site, the Bismarck Tribune reported Sunday. Ross as begun a management plan in an effort to fully detail those treats and how to deal with them. She said stopping the threats could mean bank stabilization on the Knife River and rerouting a county road. Other changes could involve restoring native grasses to the village sites and not mowing, or using herbicides.
The river has continued to eat away the site and destroyed cache pits, earthlodges and fire rings. Hundreds of pocket gophers have dug thousands of holes, and displaced tons of soil and artifacts. Meanwhile, trees have grown where they never were and noxious weeds have sprawled. “Without the earthlodges, why even have a park?” Ross told the newspaper.
Park Service archaeologist Jay Sturdevant said the damage in some parts of the park is severe. The Elbee village site, the oldest known occupation dating back 700 years, could be eroded within a few years as pieces of the village drop into the river each time the water fills the banks. “It’s severe enough that it could compromise the reason why the park is even here,” Sturdevant said.

The Five Enemies of Persistence A lifestyle of giving up - Opportunities without persistence will be lost. Bob never gave up, even when things looked impossible or crazy. “The bank didn’t really understand us when we first got started because when they talk about concrete or Ready Mix operations, banks would argue that it’s a summer time business.” Consequently, loans weren’t easy to come by. Bob together with his wife Denise and daughter Micki were trailblazers; they worked collectively to build it into the company it is today, and trying to turn the face of a market into something more lucrative and stable. They saw it. They believed in it, and they refused to give up. A wrong belief that life should be easy - Bob has a “porch parable” that I just love. He says, “Many people will just sit on the porch and look out at life. When something happens for someone
else they get a little jealous. They say, ‘Look at so-and-so. They’ve got this or that…’ but they are too afraid to take a step off their porch to achieve the same thing. They’re comfortable where they are and don’t want to face the fear of the unknown. They don’t want to take the risk. They want it all to land on their doorstep and get upset when they don’t have the same rewards as the ones who are out in the trenches. The thing is, they don’t see or understand the troubles that are Success in the trenches! with Most people stay on that porch, so Meaning in reality, they give up before Cristy they even get LeBaron started.” A lack of resiliency - While living in Montana, Bob went bungee jumping for the first time and did it half a dozen more times…Now that’s a picture of resiliency! “People get stuck when they are unwilling to face their fears. You have to keep facing them!” A wrong belief that success is a destination - “If our business were to go away we could say with all honesty that we got off the porch and took a swing. No one can accuse me of not trying!” That kind of attitude is what assures me that Bob would be great at whatever he did. When success is within you and you know how to access it, that’s most of the battle. A lack of vision - When I asked Bob about success, his vision was not about money. “It’s the sense of accomplishment that comes from doing something that no one else has done around here, and doing it well.” According to Bob Horab, the worst thing you can do for your future is to sit and do nothing. I wholeheartedly agree. About the author Cristy LeBaron is a John Maxwell Team Certified Speaker and Business Coach.

“Perseverance begins with the right attitude – an attitude of tenacity. But the desire to persevere alone isn’t enough to keep most people going when they are tired or discouraged. Perseverance is a trait that can be cultivated. And the initial step to developing it is to eliminate its five greatest enemies.” — John Maxwell. When I interviewed Bob Horab, owner of McCody Concrete, the first thing about his story that stood out to me was his incredible ability to stay the course, to persevere. There is a tenacity about Bob that says, “Regardless of the circumstances, I will be OK.” As a lifetime entrepreneur who worked in the family business of farming, it was there that Bob learned how to recognize opportunities and see them through. The years ahead for him were marked with the underlying theme of ‘doing what we had to do with the resources we had.’ He worked the farm, moved on to trucking when farming slowed down and ended up landing in the concrete business. In buying the company, he saw the advantage of concrete being a 12-month business. Today, we see the fruit of persistence. McCody Concrete started out with four employees in 1999. “Our first year gross annual sales came to $250,000. In 2012, we had our biggest year — $25 million.” That’s an incredible achievement, but when I spoke to Bob, I realized something profound. Not only did he have the persistence necessary to stay the course, but more importantly, he was able to eliminate the enemies that would cause most people to give up. Knowing what to remove from your life is just as important as knowing what to keep.

Today in History Today is Monday, August 18, the 230th day of 2014. There are 135 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 18, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson issued his Proclamation of Neutrality, aimed at keeping the United States out of World War I, saying, “The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name during these days that are to try men’s souls.” On this date: In 1587, Virginia Dare became the first child of English parents to be born in present-day America, on what is now Roanoke Island in North Carolina. (However, the Roanoke colony ended up mysteriously disappearing.) In 1838, the first marine expedition sponsored by the U.S. government set sail from Hampton Roads, Virginia; the crews traveled the southern Pacific Ocean, gathering scientific information. In 1846, U.S. forces led by General Stephen W. Kearny captured Santa Fe, New Mexico. In 1862, Dakota Indians began an uprising in Minnesota. In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, guaranteeing all American women’s right to vote, was ratified as Tennessee became the 36th state to approve it. In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King dedicated the Thousand Islands Bridge connecting the United States and Canada.

Ballot measures spice up general election With a number of challenging and contentious measures on the November ballot, North Dakota voters may be lured to the polls in a “ho hum!” nonpresidential year election. Repeating the nature of the seven measures on the ballot is important because thousands of voters will show up at the polls without a clue about the significant issues they are expected to resolve with wisdom and insight. . In the November, 2012 election, 325,862 electors appeared to vote but an average of 21,049 voters per measure did not vote on the five issues on the ballot. This falloff could be attributed to a variety of factors but lack of preparedness Dakota would certainly be one of them. Moments So, for starters, here is a quick summary of the measures to be decided in November. Lloyd Omdahl Measure No. 1 is an amendment to the state constitution proposed by the Legislature declaring that “The inalienable right to life of every human being at any stage of development must be recognized and protected.” This sweeping proposal is intended to prohibit abortion from the fertilized egg to birth. The public debate will center on the sanctity of life, the unknown consequences of the measure and the possibility of prosecution of women and/or medical personnel for some degree of homicide Measure No. 2 is another constitutional amendment proposed by the Legislature prohibiting the imposition of a tax on mortgages. In the eight states imposing a mortgage tax, the rate is around one percent of the mortgage. North Dakota does not have a mortgage tax so this is designed to protect the people from a tax-happy legislature should one be elected in the future. Measure No. 3 is also a constitutional amendment proposed by the Legislature to abolish the present 9-member Board of Higher Education and replace it with a 3-member commission. It would also delete the names of specific institutions but leave the names of the college cities. Measure No. 4 is another constitutional amendment proposed by the Legislature prohibiting electors from placing on the ballot any measure that would appropriate money or require the Legislature to appropriate money. With the state treasury accumulating huge surpluses, legislators are fearful that various groups will propose spending measures that upset the Legislature’s fiscal priorities. Then there are three measures that have been proposed by citizen petition. An “equal” parenting measure has been proposed to force “equal parenting rights and responsibilities, equal parenting time, equal primary residential responsibility and equal decision-making” on parents involved in divorce. This measure was defeated by a vote of 57 to 43 percent in 2006. It would enable disgruntled divorcees to bypass the normal judicial process for determining parenting ground rules. A “Clean Water, Wildlife and Parks” constitutional amendment proposes to dedicate five percent of the state’s oil extraction tax (perhaps $90 million annually) to a variety of conservation programs. This measure will be fought over the long-term commitment, the amount of money involved, the failure of the legislature to address needs, the availability of the funds and the need for long-term programming. Repeal of the law limiting pharmaceutical sales to drugstores owned at least 50 percent by druggists. Since passage of this law, the big box stores have come into the state with a desire to get into the pharmacy business. The chain stores that existed at the time of passage were permitted to continue. As citizens review the issues, they will find at least one or two that will draw them to the polls. I predict a higher than usual turnout just because of the measures.
Another Viewpoint
Vote no on Measure 1 As the daughter of a woman who suffers from chronic pain and deteriorating health, I stand against Measure 1 and believe that this bill will directly affect my mother’s quality of life. In December of 1998 my mother was in a near fatal car accident; little did she know that from that day on her life would change forever. The terminal brain damage she had suffered from her car accident progressed into a disease called Muscular Sclerosis (MS). Unfortunately, MS is a progressive disease which may one day leave my mother bed ridden and unable to live independently. MS affects many aspects of her life including immobilization, difficulty thinking and speaking, muscle spasms and chronic pain. My mother was accepted to a clinical trial where they installed a baclofen pump to eliminate the daily pain she experienced due to muscle spasms. Baclofen pump placement has certain risks and complications including failure to obtain relief of spasticity, need for further surgery or even death. If passed, Measure 1 would destroy this fundamental right of choice. It would also deny patients’ right to quality of life. If a person chose to take part in an experimental study, but were denied participation due to a potential health risk, they would be forced to endure chronic problems due to their illness. What is at stake here, is a patient’s right to choose. If Measure 1 was to pass, my mother and other individuals who suffer from chronic illness may not be given the choice of alternative treatment. Will they be forced to continue suffering despite their own wishes to pursue treatment that may carry risks? I ask you to join me in voting no on Measure 1. Lindsay Fouke Grand Forks

Highway to the danger zone Remember MacGyver? He was the fictional television secret agent of 1980s television who would get out of world-threatening jams using only duct tape and a Swiss Army knife. Listening to Pope Francis in Korea the other day, I had some flashbacks to the prime-time show. Pope Francis, who has described the Church as a field hospital, doesn’t even need hardware-store items; he bandages wounds with invitations to the Gospel and the sacraments of the Church. As Christians and other religious minorities are being forced out of Iraq; as tear gas was used on protesters after the death of an unarmed young man in Missouri; as news reports continued to go into graphic detail about the suicide of the beloved actor and comedian Robin Williams; as North Koreans couldn’t attend any of his Masses in their divided country, Pope Francis pointed to hope. He said: “The hope held out by the Gospel is the antidote to the spirit of despair that seems to grow like a cancer in societies which are outwardly affluent, yet often experience inner sadness and emptiness. Upon how many of our young has this despair taken its toll! May they, the young who surround us in these days with their joy and confidence, never be robbed of their hope!” Again and again, the Pope repeats some variation of what he said in Korea: Do
not let yourself be robbed of hope. For there is theft happening all around us, as the recent news shows: theft of dignity, of our freedoms and even of our lives. In civilization that has become so secularized -- even hostile -- to real religious faith, Pope Francis reminds Christians that living their faith Guest in the public Columnist square -- in every aspect of life -- and Kathryn Lopez sharing it is part of their Gospel mandate. Also, do not be robbed, he’s said, of “community” and “fraternal love,” and, perhaps most importantly, joy. “The human heart aspires to great things, to important values, to profound friendships, bonds that are strengthened rather than broken by the trials of life,” Pope Francis said earlier this summer. “Human beings aspire to be loved, and to be loved definitively. Do not let yourselves be robbed of the desire to construct great and solid things in your lives! Do not be satisfied with half-measures!” Standing in the bar car of an Amtrak train that was going backward in the Northeast the other night,
(which might be a better metaphor for life than I could have come up with on my own), -- I talked to a weary young man in his early 30s, who explained that he got married in the Church but hasn’t been to Mass since, talked about what “a stand-up guy” Pope Francis is, dubbing him “the boss.” Warm feelings abound about Francis, certainly. But what is the Pope saying? His point is that we were created for a life so much better than the one we’re currently living. Not pain-free, mind you, but one where suffering matters, where it is redemptive. If a few more of us lived Christian hope, the rest of the world might see the difference and want it for themselves, or at least want people of real religious faith around. Until then, Western culture will become increasingly intolerant of people who want to live their faith in the world. For the sake of Christians the world over who will live and die for their faith, we ought to work some MacGyver moves of our own, joining Pope Francis in trying to end the highway robbery that we’ve brought upon ourselves, and even acquiesced to. The highway to heaven is a whole lot better. (Kathryn Lopez is the editor-at-large of National Review Online www.nationalreview.com. She can be contacted at klopez@nationalreview.com.)

BORN LOSER
ARLO & JANIS
BEETLE BAILEY
ALLEY OOP
Your friend is high maintenance Dear Annie: My husband and I recently purchased a new home. It took us a while to reach this point. In the course of trying to purchase, we were offered help by a good friend, “Mary,” who lives 1,500 miles away. Mary referred us to her mortgage lender, also 1,500 miles away. We engaged the lender, who worked hard, but things didn’t move as quickly as we needed, and we lost a large deposit on the house, along with the costs of an appraisal and inspection. This was money we could ill-afford. We recently found another house and used a local mortgage lender. Everything went smoothly, and we’ll be moving soon. Here’s the problem: Last month, Mary called to chew me out because we didn’t use her mortgage person. I told Mary that we lost a lot of money due to that person’s inability to help us, and we’ve moved on. Mary was mean and nasty and hung up on me. I haven’t heard from her since. Mary and I have known each other for 30 years, and we’ve been through a great many of life’s ups and downs. She’s like a sister to me, and our husbands get along well, too. I was astonished that she would be so obtuse about what we’d been through. Mary often reacts like this when she’s angry, but I wonder why it’s up to me to make the effort to fix things. Should I reach out to her? It saddens me that such a longtime friendship would end this way, but I’m ready to let it go.
-- Arizona Dear Arizona: Mary is what we call high maintenance. She is emotionally demanding, you off Annie’s cuts when you Mailbox don’t put her first and then forces you to do the hard work of repairing the friendship. Over time, this behavior becomes tiresome, and we don’t blame you for having had enough. Mary lives 1,500 miles away. Consider distancing yourself from the friendship, bit by bit. Let Mary make the next move, whenever that is, and you can maintain the level of friendship that best suits you. In the meantime, please try to find new friends in your current location.
I made a commitment “until death us do part,” and I’ll keep it. But after trying unsuccessfully for years to build a deeper relationship (including counseling), I developed other interests. If my wife is feeling our relationship is emotionally empty, it’s because this is the relationship she built. You reap what you sow. -- Moved On Dear Moved On: We understand why your marriage has reached this point, but your unwillingness to give your wife another chance indicates that you are punishing her for the damage she caused. I t is counterproductive to let the marriage slowly die rather than ask your wife to come with you for counseling to repair things. We’re talking about the rest of your life. You can still have a rewarding marriage, but you both have to work on it. Now is your opportunity. Finally.
Dear Annie: “Heartbroken” says she is in her mid50s and hasn’t been intimate with her husband for several years. She wonders whether her husband just doesn’t care anymore. My wife could have written that. For the past three decades, my wife had no problem putting our relationship last behind the kids, her job, her mother and her hobbies. Now that the kids are grown, her mother has died and she’s retired, she’s dumbfounded as to why we don’t have a closer relationship.
Dear Annie: I found the letter from “A.” so refreshing. The mother told her son that certain events require a personal phone call instead of a text message, and then he did it. What magic did she use? Communication. She told him calmly what she wanted, it was reasonable, and he did it. People can’t read your mind. Stop acting affronted and insulted or stewing in your own replay of past events, and communicate calmly. -- Not Karnack
fully. Refuse to let anyone take advantage of your generosity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Do something that will exhilarate you physically and challenge you mentally. Taking your mind off your everyday routine will help you adjust the way you move forward. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You may have been putting it off, but, sooner or later, you will have to scrutinize your cash reserves. Look for a way to maximize your investments so you can move forward without worry. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You will be unnerved by an emotional encounter. Stay in control and defend your position. If you allow yourself to be bullied, you will lose respect and selfesteem. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It’s time to firmly establish your professional course of action. Put your talents to good use. Your hard work will be wasted if you are not aggressive enough to carry out your plans.

ent what you have to offer that will make the difference. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Revisit dreams that used to excite you. Doing so will help provide the incentive to make changes that will increase your earning power. Dig deep into your past to discover relevant information. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It’s a good day to plan an event. Get family or friends together for a picnic or barbecue. A potluck dinner will ensure that you don’t end up doing all the hard work yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Feeling nostalgic for old friends and days gone by will get you in the mood to reunite with people and places from your past. Looking back will help you make decisions that will change your future. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It may seem as if everyone wants a piece of you today. Let them know tactfully that you have your own matters to take care of. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone may be trying to conceal important information. Be alert to unusual or secretive meetings or discussions, and consider the motives of one who is pressing you for information.

PEANUTS
SOUP TO NUTS
By Phillip Adler In his “Comic Dictionary,” Evan Esar defined a zoo as an excellent place to study the habits of human beings. This week, we are going to study some of the bad habits of bridge players and try to cure them. First, we will start with declarer play. South is in three no-trump. What should he do after West leads a fourthhighest heart four and East plays his eight? South starts with six top tricks: two spades, two hearts (given the first trick) and two diamonds. He must work on clubs to get the extra winners. However, the defender with the club ace will not take the first round of the suit, but the second. Then South will need a dummy entry to get to the three club tricks. And what is the only entry? It has to be in hearts. But if South makes the habitual play at trick one of winning cheaply with his heart jack, he won’t see the dummy again. South must take the first trick with his heart ace. Then, after driving out the club ace and winning East’s probable spade-jack shift, South can lead a low heart to force an entry to the dummy. Get into the habit of playing slowly at trick one. Lastly, how would East know to take the second, not third, round of clubs? West gives his partner a count signal in clubs. Here, with an odd number, he plays his lowest club first. Alternatively, if he had a doubleton club, he would play high-low. Note that if East ducks two clubs, South can shift to spades and take three spades, two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs.

Federer, Serena Williams win at Cincinnati MASON, Ohio (AP) — By now, everyone knows Roger Federer’s itinerary for Cincinnati: Get his game in order, raise the winner’s trophy, leave town with a lot of confidence for the U.S. Open. Might as well rename it the Federer Cup. Federer won his unprecedented sixth title in Cincinnati on Sunday, beating David Ferrer 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 at the Western & Southern Open. He’s reached the finals six times and won all six. How does this keep happening? “I don’t know,” he said. “I just really enjoy myself here.” Serena Williams couldn’t say that until Sunday, when she got her first Cincinnati championship on her sixth try. Williams needed only 62 minutes to beat Ana Ivanovic 6-4, 6-1 and earn a title that had always slipped away. “I love this moment,” she said. “I love holding up the trophy.” The tournament’s brackets opened up when defending champions Rafael Nadal and Victoria Azarenka withdrew because of injuries. Topseeded Novak Djokovic had a rough week and got knocked out in his second match. There was one constant: Federer playing well on Cincinnati’s fast courts. “I’m really pleased with the week. Overall, it went from good to great,” the Swiss star said. “My game’s exactly where I want it to be.” His latest title came against an opponent he has dominated throughout his career. Federer improved to 16-0 against Ferrer, who has won only five sets off him overall. Ferrer took advantage of Federer’s lull in the second set, but couldn’t keep up. “The third set, he served unbelievable,” Ferrer said. “He played really good and I was a little bit tired. But anyway, with Roger it’s difficult, no?” Title No. 6 ended a bit of a slump for Federer, who had lost his last four Masters finals matches. He was the runner-up to JoWilfried Tsonga in Toronto a week earlier. “I’ve been bringing home some smaller ones,” Federer said after raising the large winner’s trophy. “I’m happy to get the big one.” Williams opened the day by winning her elusive title so convincingly that she’s thinking another one could be on its way soon. “Definitely my best performance of the summer,” she said. “Hopefully not the last. “This is definitely a level that can take me to the (U.S. Open) title. I still have a lot of work to do. It’s definitely a better level than I’ve played all year, to be honest.” Ivanovic was treated for a stomach ailment during her nearly 3-hour win over Maria Sharapova in the semifinals Saturday night. She didn’t have much left against Williams, who dominated with her serve.
Sports MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
Slow start dooms Minnesota BY ADAM CZECH ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Kansas City Royals scored seven runs in the second inning. Then they really started hitting the ball. Alex Gordon, Salvador Perez and Josh Willingham homered, and the Royals beat the Minnesota Twins 12-6 on Sunday for their 20th win in their last 25 games. Kansas City sent 11 batters to the plate in the big second, keyed by two-run singles for Alcides Escobar and Nori Aoki. The Royals then started hitting the ball out of the park after a 54-minute rain delay in the fourth.
Gordon sent one drive into a flower bed in right-center. Perez lined one into the leftfield seats, and Willingham’s homer traveled an estimated 433 feet into the third deck in left field. “Those tack on runs are huge,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. The Royals also increased their AL Central lead to 1 1/2 games over Detroit, which lost 8-1 to Seattle. This is the latest the Royals have been in first place since 2003. Kansas City’s Jeremy Guthrie (9-10) returned to the mound after the delay in the fourth and lasted seven innings, yielding home runs by Joe Mauer and Kennys
Vargas. Oswaldo Arcia also went deep for Minnesota, hitting a two-run drive off Jason Frasor in the eighth for his 11th homer. But Kansas City’s postrain delay power surge helped it remain in control despite the Twins showing some power of their own. “You gotta fight for 27 outs,” Perez said. “We continued to play hard. We needed to keep hitting it until the game was over.” In his second start with Minnesota since coming over in a trade from Oakland, Tommy Milone (6-4) allowed seven runs in a career-low 1 1-3 innings.
“Awful. The first inning was good, the second one was pretty awful,” Milone said. “Couldn’t get a good feel, try not to walk guys, left the ball over the plate. It was pretty tough.” The first pitch was delayed 34 minutes in anticipation of a rain shower that never happened. The rain did arrive as the second inning started and got worse until umpires called the players off the field with one out in the bottom of the fourth. After managing just one run in Saturday night’s 4-1 loss, the Royals scored 10 or more for just the third time since June 17.
“With the weather and everything, we were pretty good,” Perez said. “We fought through it.” GUTHRIE COMES BACK OUT Guthrie helped save a tired Royals bullpen by staying in the game after the rain delay. “Just to be able to maneuver through that made it a good day for us,” Yost said. NO EXCUSES Twins manager Ron Gardenhire wasn’t going to blame the weather for Milone’s bad second inning. “They played through the same thing,” Gardenhire said. “They got it done, we didn’t.”

Gordon races to first win at Michigan since 2001 BY NOAH TRISTER AP SPORTS WRITER
BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — It had been 13 years since Jeff Gordon’s last victory at Michigan — which came during the same season as his most recent championship on NASCAR’s top series. One of those droughts is finally over. Can the 43-yearold driver end the other as well? “Certainly things are going well — there’s no doubt about that,” Gordon said. “I’m as shocked as anybody else.” Gordon raced to his third Sprint Cup victory of the year, holding off Kevin Harvick on Sunday for his first win at Michigan International Speedway since 2001. Gordon broke the track qualifying record Friday when he took the pole at 206.558 mph. He followed that up with his third Cup victory at MIS — and took over the points lead from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. After a series of cautions, Gordon came off the final restart well and led with 16 laps remaining. He fought
off a challenge from Joey Logano and maintained a comfortable margin over Harvick, winning the 400mile race by 1.412 seconds in his No. 24 Chevrolet. “Joey, as we rolled up to some of the restarts — not that last one, but some of the other ones — as guys were starting to sort of anticipate it, he was slowing down, and when he slowed down, everybody got bottled up, and then he’d take off,” Gordon said. “That last one, I thought he had a good start, but I had a good one, too.” Harvick was second, followed by Logano, Paul Menard and Earnhardt. Gordon completed a sweep at MIS for Hendrick. Jimmie Johnson won the June race on the two-mile oval. “I think all of our teams are running well, but this is a big, big win,” owner Rick Hendrick said. “It’s great to see Jeff so happy. He’s like a little kid again, so I think it’s going to be really, really important for the momentum he’s carrying right now into the Chase.” Logano was second to Gordon in qualifying. He led 86 laps and Gordon was in front for 68. “We can win a champion-
ship. I really feel we can do that. That’s the message I want to put out there,” Logano said. “We’ve got to find a little bit more speed to keep up with one car today — 24 car was the best, only because he was good on the long run. We weren’t as good on the long run. There were eight cautions, including a fairly early one when Danica Patrick’s car spun and Justin Allgaier crashed into her. Nine cars were caught up in that incident, including Matt Kenseth’s No. 20 Toyota. Kenseth never really recovered, finishing 38th. Brad Keselowski rubbed against the wall with about 32 laps remaining and finished eighth, remaining winless at this track in his home state. Johnson overcame some problems of his own to finish ninth, his first top-10 showing in six races. Jeff Burton was 37th after replacing Tony Stewart in the No. 14 car. Stewart skipped his second straight Cup race after he struck and killed a driver at a dirttrack race in New York last weekend. Hendrick and StewartHaas Racing are alliance teams. Hendrick said he
hasn’t talked to Stewart, but he’s been in touch with Eddie Jarvis, Stewart’s longtime business manager. “I think they’re making the best of the situation that they’re in,” Hendrick said. “Tony’s got a lot of good folks around him.” Gordon won for the 91st time on the Cup circuit, and this is his first three-win season since 2011. He took over the lead in the standings by three points over Earnhardt. Gordon also won this season at Kansas and Indianapolis. “As a driver, especially somebody that’s been getting beat up over the years about restarts, it’s pretty nice to have the last two wins come down to restarts.” Assuming they attempt to qualify for the final three races of the regular-season, the 12 drivers with victories this season have all wrapped up spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Kenseth remains the top driver without a victory in the standings, but he dropped to fifth place. If the regular season ended now, the last four drivers in the Chase would be Kenseth, Ryan Newman, Clint Bowyer and Greg Biffle.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Matt Cassel was polished. Teddy Bridgewater was poised. The Minnesota Vikings have yet to pick a starting quarterback, but their passing game has sure been productive in the preseason. Bridgewater gave the giddy fans chanting his first name a pair of go-ahead touchdown throws to cheer for in the fourth quarter, propelling the Vikings past the Arizona Cardinals 30-28 on Saturday night. Wide receiver Greg Jennings shouted, “Teddy’s world!” as he walked out of the locker room. “It’s not. I’m still the young guy here. I still have a lot to prove,” Bridgewater said. Cassel has taken the majority of the turns with the first-team offense, and the veteran has done nothing but solidify his status. Coach Mike Zimmer said he hasn’t reached the date he’s had in mind for a decision. Bridgewater at least gave him more to think about with his second-half performance, albeit against backups and guys bound to be cut in a couple of weeks. “I’m very pleased. I’m just going to continue to try and get better from here,” said Bridgewater, who finished 16 for 20 for 177 yards, much better than his debut. Less than a minute after the Cardinals had gone ahead on a bizarre fourthdown score off a loose ball, Bridgewater floated a backshoulder fade pass from 2 yards to Rodney Smith with 18 seconds remaining for the lead. “Teddy was calm. He was smart. That whole series was a lot of blitzes,” Zimmer said. On that final drive, Bridgewater completed six of seven passes for 77 yards. “I give Teddy a lot of credit. He was impressive. It was a very nice drive he put together,” Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. Bridgewater found Allen Reisner for a short touchdown and Jarius Wright for the 2-point conversion with 7:57 left, giving the Vikings a 24-21 edge. “He does it every day in practice. I wasn’t surprised at all. He always puts the ball on the money,” Smith said. Kyle Rudolph had four catches for 89 yards and a scoring toss from Cassel as the Vikings kept their first team in for the whole first half, and Bridgewater and the backups picked up where they left off. Ryan Lindley, who played the whole second half at quarterback for the Cardinals, threw three straight incompletions after a 33-yard pass interference penalty on Derek Cox put the ball at the 6. Lindley dropped the fourth-and-goal shotgun snap, and in the scrap for the ball, center John Estes got down on his knees and batted it behind him. Zach Bauman scooped it up and ran in for the score with 1:11 remaining.

BALLOT BREAKDOWN: FSU No. 1 in AP preseason poll By RALPH D. RUSSO AP College Football Writer
The Associated Press preseason Top 25 is out. Take a look at how the ballots break down, and find out what to watch for when the college football season begins this month: ‘NOLES NATION DOMINATION Finish No. 1. Start No. 1. Even Bobby Bowden’s best Florida State teams never did that. Jimbo Fisher’s Seminoles will. Jameis Winston and the defending national champions are preseason No. 1 for the sixth time.
In two of the previous five seasons Florida State started No. 1, the ‘Noles went on to finish No. 1, including a wire-to-wire title in 1999. But they never did start the following year top-ranked. OK, the 2000 Seminoles were preseason No. 2, and after Bowden, the Hall of Fame coach whom Fisher replaced, won his first national championship in 1993, Florida State started 1995 ranked No. 3. Fisher’s Seminoles have a long way to go to compare to Florida State’s unprecedented run of national championship contention, a string of 14 straight seasons during
which the ‘Noles finished the season ranked in the top five of the AP rankings. Still, make no mistake: Florida State 2.0 is built to last. “We’re the second-winningest team in the country the last four years, the winningest team the last two years and have had the most NFL players,” Fisher said. “We’ve recruited well, too. Recruited a lot of great young players we’ve been able to mentor and develop as we go, so we’re very comfortable with the guys who are replacing the guys that left.” The Seminoles were an
overwhelming choice as No. 1, receiving 57 of 60 firstplace votes from the media panel. No. 2 Alabama, No. 2 Oregon and No. 4 Oklahoma got one first-place vote each. Ohio State is No. 5 and Auburn, which lost the final BCS national championship game to the Seminoles 34-31, is No. 6. Last season was a good reminder that preseason rankings can look pretty silly by the end of the season. Four teams that finished in final top 10 last season (No. 2 Auburn, No. 3 Michigan State, No. 5 Missouri and No. 10 UCF) were unranked to start the season. Throw in No. 13

Baylor, No. 20 Arizona State and No. 23 Duke, and seven of the teams that either won or played for the championship in the six conferences with BCS automatic-qualifying status began 2013 unranked. The Bowl Championship Series is gone now, replaced by the College Football Playoff. The top four teams will be placed into national semifinals to be played on New Year’s Day and advance to the championship game about a week and half later. Expect surprises, though coming up with a scenario in which Florida State is not part of college football’s first final four is difficult. Winston will make a run at his second Heisman behind an offensive line that returns four starters. There’s turnover at receiver and running back but still plenty left of four- and five-star talent left behind. Same goes on defense, where sophomore safety Jalen Ramsey and defensive end Mario Edwards step into leadership roles. Florida State is the hunted again. Fisher wants them to still act like hunters. “We better have that attitude. It’s got to be your attitude every year,” said Fisher, starting his fifth season as Florida State coach. “We call it an attitude of domination. You can never be satisfied.” Florida State starts its season with a rebuilding Oklahoma State team at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, which, coincidentally, is also
the site of the first College Football Playoff national championship game. CONFERENCE CALL Do not think for a second that the end of the Southeastern Conference’s streak of national championships means the SEC is slipping. The SEC begins the 2014 season with eight ranked teams, matching its own record for most teams from one conference in the preseason poll, set in 2011.
