Domestic leads to
teacher’s arrest
BY RENÉE JEAN
RJEAN@WILLISTONHERALD.COM
A domestic violence call to the home of
a teacher for the Alexander School District
led to her arrest on a number of drug-relat-
ed charges, including one that accuses her
of exposing children at the residence to a
controlled substance.
Police arrested Regie Hill, 32, at 12:47
p.m. Wednesday at the Alexander School
District, after executing a search warrant
on Hill’s home the day before.
The charges are felony endangerment of
a child or vulnerable adult, unlawful pos-
session of drug paraphernalia to manufac-
ture marijuana and possession of marijua-
na. The latter two are misdemeanors.
According to an affidavit filed in the
Northwest District Court, McKenzie
County deputies responded to a domestic
violence call at 116 Richards Ave. W in

Downtowners: A good year in 2017,

BY LEE ZION
LZION@WILLISTONHERALD.COM
For 2017, the Williston Downtown-
ers Association cleared a profit of
$41,000. This year, it could be as low
as $6,000.
That’s what Louise Skaare is pro-
jecting for 2018. And that’s a sober-
ing figure for an organization tasked
with marketing downtown business-
es and improving the quality of life in
the downtown area.
Skaare spoke Friday morning at
the annual meeting of the Williston
Downtowners Association. She high-
lighted the successes and challenges
of the organization.
In 2017, the Downtowners put on
39 events in downtown Williston.
These events include the weekly
Summer Nights on Main, the weekly
farmers markets, and special events
such as the Art & Wine Walk and
Brewfest.

Jury saw no
motive in
murder trial
Defendant was acquitted
after 3 hours of deliberation
BY JAMIE KELLY
EDITOR@WILLISTONHERALD.COM
A man who was acquitted Thursday of
two counts of murder said that during
his time in jail, he envisioned the jury
coming back with a not guilty verdict
multiple times.
Lamar Putney was released from jail
Thursday after the verdict and spent his
first night free in nearly 18 months with
his wife and son. He said he was calm
when the jury returned with a verdict
because he was confident in his lawyers
and because he had thought about the
verdict so much.
“I had lived though the moment so
many times in my head,” he said.
Putney said he was grateful the jury
had weighed the evidence and come to
the conclusion he’d acted in self-defense
when he shot two men in May 2016.
The jury found Putney not guilty of
two counts of murder Thursday after
deliberating for three hours. He was
arrested in Sept. 2016 for the May 2016
shooting deaths of Diandre Lott and
Donzell Washington.
Putney claimed he shot the men in
self-defense when they tried to rob him,
and one of the jurors said Friday that the
jury believed him. Shortly after the jury
in the Lamar Putney murder trial started
deliberation, they decided to have a
show of hands on how many thought
Putney was guilty, and not one hand
went up.
The juror, who asked not to be identi-
fied, said when the jury asked for a show

FROM PAGE A1
voted 5-0 to issue a letter of
reprimand. That letter accused
Campbell of making inappropri-
ate remarks, failure to seek and
follow advice, failure to follow
directives and failure to inform
or seek approval for leave.
At the same meeting, the
board approved an evaluation
of Campbell that gave him a sat-
isfactory score in six categories:
goal and vision setting, board
relations, human resource man-
agement, curriculum and stu-
dent support services, commu-
nity relations and operations
and resource management. A
week later, the board re-did the
evaluation, noting that Camp-
bell’s self-evaluation scores were
included in the total, but that
they should not have been.
The new evaluation gave
Campbell scores in the un-
satisfactory range for goals
and vision setting and human
resources management.
Campbell has more than 30
years of experience in educa-
tion, including more than 20
years in school administration.
The board did not take any ac-
tion on seeking a replacement
for Campbell on Monday night.
HOUSING: Struggling to meet need for affordable homes
FROM PAGE A1
to solve as they struggle to
meet what area realtors say
is an incoming tsunami of
need for affordable, sin-
gle-family homes.
Pre-boom, Williston had
about the right number of
builders for a city of its size,
Olin said, and most of those
still build a few custom
homes a year.
“And they do quality
work,” he added. “But they
are booked for the next two
or three years.”
The situation has forced
Stropiq to become its own
builder.
“Our challenge was to
bring a dormant subdi-
vision back to life,” Olin
said. “There were close to
40 homes built there in
2014/15, and then it went
quiet, like so many things
here. It wasn’t a matter of
more for sale signs. There
were already a lot of for sale
signs out there.”
The demand, Olin
realized, was for finished
homes. Not buildable lots.
So he teamed up with
Patrick McGarry to build
10 spec homes. The price
point is $330,000 — just
within range of FHA-quali-
fied homes, particularly if a
buyer brings some savings
to the table.
Stropiq has nearly half
of all the permits for new,
single-family homes issued
in Williston in 2017 — more
than any other entity. They
are all for the spec homes
Stropiq is building in The
Meadows.
Olin has crafted a strategy
he believes will appeal to
Millennial home buyers in
Williston. First, the spec
homes won’t be located
adjacent to each other.
They will be well separated.
Once those are sold, if the
buildable lots haven’t sold
yet, a new floor plan will
be introduced and again
scattered throughout the
development.
Olin also plans to stay
within reach of FHA
financing, while giving new
homeowners room to grow
in the same neighborhood.
He’s kept all the lots roomy
enough to allow the addi-
tion of both a third garage
and an addition to the right
side of the home, once the

FARGO — Convicted
killer Brooke Lynn Crews
is still being held at the
Cass County Jail, segre-
gated from other inmates,
awaiting transfer to the
Dakota Women’s Correc-
tional and Rehabilitation
Center in New England,
North Dakota, according
to a jail official.
Once she gets to prison,
she will be given an orien-
tation that will lay out the
rules of prison life, and
she will be evaluated, said
Barb McGillivray, director
of women’s services at
the North Dakota Depart-
ment of Corrections and
Rehabilitation.
McGillivray said that
special circumstances,
such as the need to sepa-
rate Crews from others in
the prison for safety rea-
sons, will be considered
as part of the evaluation.
McGillivray said a
prisoner swap with
another prison elsewhere
in the country is also a
possibility. While such
speculation is premature,
“there have been cases
where that has occurred,”
she said.
At the Cass County Jail,
your bank account allows
later on.”
Mike Dolbec, with Wind-
song Contracting, is another
of the developers who stuck
it out through the downturn
and is building houses in
Williston and surrounding
areas. The housing sector
in Williston has been very
tough, he said.
In the downturn, people
canceled contracts and
walked away from homes.
But he stayed busy enough,
he added, building 20 to 25
homes in 2016 and 17 in the
broader Williston region.
This year, he’s just a little
bit busier. His company
was scheduled for 30-plus
homes as of January.
He, too, sees serious
challenges now and for the
foreseeable future for Wil-
liston’s housing market.
Both he and Olin point to
a national labor shortage
for construction workers,
which adds to the Bak-
ken-specific labor crunch.
Demand for housing
nationwide is also driving
up prices for construction
materials nationwide.
“Lumber has gone up 39.4
percent nationwide in the
last 12 months,” Dolbec said.
“Shingles are up over 20
percent. Plumbing fixtures
are up over 20 percent. The
housing demand in the U.S.
is at an all-time high now.”
He estimates the lumber
and truss pack for a stan-
dard ranch home under
1,700 square feet now costs
$10,000 more than a year
ago. And that’s not consid-
ering any of the “Bakken
premium” in an area where
entry-level jobs are paying
up to $24 an hour.

DEVELOPMENT: Can Sloulin field spur housing growth?

“The lesson from history
is clear,” Olin said. “and
the city’s attitude toward
speculative construction of
infrastructure is absolutely
justified. But unless there’s
some sort of participation,
developers just can’t make
the numbers work. It could
be in the form of a TIF, but
if the idea is going to be

superintendent Michael
Campbell announced he
would retire at the end of
his contract, which expires
at the end of June.
Campbell started with
the district in July 2016. He
said Monday evening he
wasn’t sure what his plans
were once his time in Wil-
liston was finished, apart
from the fact he would
move back to the home he
and his wife own in Platte,
South Dakota.
His wife has continued
to live in South Dakota so
she can take care of her
elderly mother, he said.
For the time being,
Campbell said he is fo-
cused on “finishing strong
tax revenue, which can be
a tough sell, particularly
to a cash-strapped school
district. TIFs also may not be
appropriate for something
that develops more slowly
than a shopping center —
such as housing — since the
special taxing districts are
relying on quick increases in
property tax revenue to fund
projects.
On the plus side, they
don’t leave a city holding
a lot of debt if the develop-
ment tanks.
City Commissioner Tate
Cymbaluk, who is also a
realtor, is among those who
still recall what happened in
the ’80s bust. Even the mere
mention of city help with
infrastructure is an uncom-
fortable topic for him.
“The city put all this
money into all these
subdivisions,” he recalled,
“and when the bubble burst
for energy, the city was left
holding the debt. It took
them almost 20 years to
retire that portion of debt.”

One major priority is
the bond referendum the
district has scheduled
for March 20. District 1 is
asking voters to approve a
bond of up to $76.2 million
to build two new elemen-
tary schools and addition
to Williston High School.
“That has a lot of im-
plications for the school
district,” Campbell said.
Enrollment has contin-
ued to grow in the district,
and even though a new
high school opened in
2016, schools are over
capacity. During Monday’s
meeting, board members
talked about the lack of
classroom space in ele-
These days, the city re-
quires an up-front develop-
ment agreement with a cash
bond or irrevocable letter of
credit, to guarantee the cost
of the improvements. That
way, the city isn’t left hold-
ing a big bag of ugly debt for
private sector developments
if a downturn strikes.
“The city is not going to
put in infrastructure at their
expense,” Cymbaluk said.
But that doesn’t mean
the city isn’t preparing for
what’s ahead or is unaware
of the challenge ahead in
developing Sloulin Field.
“One of the most relevant
conversations people need
to hear right now is how
do we improve the hous-
ing market to provide the
stock in an affordable way,”
Williston City Administrator
David Tuan said.

they were planning for

year and might have to
move some classes into

Another pressing issue is
negotiating a contract with
teachers. The board met in
executive session for more
than 30 minutes Monday
night to discuss negotia-
tion strategy.
In June, the board de-
clared an impasse in nego-
tiations with the Williston

though that process didn’t
identify any particular way
to make it happen.
“That will be our chal-
lenge in the next year and a
half,” he said.
The city and its consultant
and co-developer Cardon
Global plan to view the
opportunity in Sloulin from
the vantage of not only
fitting housing in the right
spot, but at a price point that
is affordable, yet still profit-
able for developers.
Since the city owns the
land, they can be a little
more flexible, Tuan said,
and explore alternatives
they could not with privately
owned land. Cardon Global
will begin a housing study
for Sloulin this year, which
Tuan said the company
hopes to finish before the

and held further negotia-
tions, they still could not
agree on a contract. The
board imposed a contract
on teachers five days be-
fore the start of the school
year. One of Campbell’s
attributes that board
members touted when he
was hired was his financial
management skill. He said
he knew the district still
faced money woes, but he
was happy with what he
had been able to accom-
plish.
“I think we have a better
handle on it than what we
did before,” he said.
In an evaluation ap-
proved this fall, board
members generally praised
Doug Burgum’s idea is going
to come with any funding to
help make ideas reality.
But the city isn’t counting
on just Sloulin Field to save
the day. Tuan said they are
hoping to spur development
in other parts of the com-
munity as well.
And he doesn’t believe
that Sloulin should threaten
developers’ plans in other
areas of the city. The need
in Williston is too high, and
Sloulin will not be solely
devoted to housing. It will
provide space for other
things, too, such as, poten-
tially, a convention center.
“We have a lot of privately
held land on the west side
of town,” Tuan said. “And
there’s some great land
around the high school with
installed infrastructure for
someone to come and buy
the land and build houses.
We are prepared to have
those discussions, if there is
interest, and we want to help
in any way that we can.”

of the district, even as they
criticized how he managed
staff and said he failed to
delegate enough.
That evaluation came
the same day as a letter of
reprimand from the board
that claimed Campbell had
made inappropriate com-
ments to staff and that he’d
failed to listen to advice.
He acknowledged the
letter, but also said he

in 2015. The properties lie
along 44th Avenue, within
sight of the high school.
“The city also works
closely with the housing
authority to ensure housing
remains available and acces-
sible for those in the low-in-
come spectrum,” Tuan
said. “It is our hope that the
redevelopment of Sloulin
Field will be a good opportu-
nity for single-family home
developers, and we continue
to encourage builders in the
community.”
Tuan is a recent home-
buyer himself, and, as such,
had a recent, inside look at
Williston’s home-buying
scene.
“My recent home-buying
experience revealed that
quality homes in the sub-
$250,000 range are few and
far between,” he said. “But
with that said, I saw more
homes on the market than
I anticipated. The prices
and quality varied greatly,
though.”
