First Byline: 
Susan Delk - Staff Writer

The Williston Police Department concluded its internal investigation from a controversial wreck and presented its results to the Williston Town Council more than two months after the Jan. 2 occurred.

During its March 8 meeting, the Williston Town Council heard from Williston investigator Rodney Pruitt.

Pruitt told the council that the complaints of Stacy Johnson and Willie O'Neal were "unsubstantiated" and that no more action would be taken.

However, Willie O'Neal said the matter hasn't ended yet, although he did not state what his next step would be.

WEHS girls win in low-scoring basketball game

Michael Young - Sports Editor

It would be an understatement to say Williston-Elko varsity girls basketball team's offense was running on empty during the final quarter of Friday night's region game against C.A. Johnson High School.

The Lady Blue Devils tapped the bottom of the fuel tank with only one field goal in the game's final eight minutes.

However, despite their shooting woes, the Lady Blue Devils hung on for a 26-25 win over the Lady Hornets.

Williston-Elko High had its worst offensive production of the season, going 10-of-39 from the field.

OPINION

Confessions of an untooled do-it-yourselfer

First Byline: 
Phil Hudgins - featured columnist

People who can fix and build things with ease are a mystery to me.

My granddaddy built his own house, outhouse, chickenhouse, car house, smokehouse and barn. All six were still standing decades later.

I didn't inherit any of granddaddy's good genes (although I do have a pair of his overalls). It took me three days to build a rabbit hutch. Trying to do it myself has been frustrating at times.

My wife gave me a beautiful tool chest on wheels, and it's full of nice tools. The only thing missing is a lock to keep me from getting to them. Tools are dangerous.
