MDU asks for
rate increase
BISMARCK - Montana-
Dakota Utilities Co. filed an
electric rate increase request
with the North Dakota Public
Service Commission on April
20. If approved, it would
increase residential electric cus-
tomers' monthly bill by an aver-
age of about $7.50.
Montana-Dakota's last rate
increase went into effect in
January 2004 when the PSC
granted a 1.2-percent increase.
The previous rate increase was
in 1987.
The main reasons for the
increase request are to recover
the cost of increased investment
in electric facilities, loss of
wholesale sales margins and
recovery of costs associated
with all facets of the company's
electric generation, according
to MDU.

Boy donates 10-
year-old ponytail
By Richard Volesky
Editor/Writer
WILLISTON - Donating a pony-
tail to Lockg of Love isn't entirely
unusual, but in one recent case the
circumstances were considerably
more remarkable.
Locks of Love is a public non-
profit organization that provides
hairpieces to financially disadvan-
taged children in the United States
and Canada under age 21 suffering
from long-term medical hair loss
from any diagnosis. The organiza-
tion meets the need by using donat-
ed hair to create hair prosthetics.
The hairpieces can help restore con-
fidence and self-esteem for the chil-
dren who use them.
Most of the donors are girls or
women only because they're the
ones who grow lheir hair long
enough so'that it can be donated.
But Matthew Finneman, 10, of
Williston recently became a hair
donor ........ , *
He is the son of Golva native
Ron Finneman, and his wife, Faith,

asked me if I wanted to be a part
of their team," Schillinger said via
a phone interview Saturday after-
noon after the draft. "I told them I
was very excited to get the oppor-
tunity. I know that I have got a lot
of hard work ahead of me, but I
also have a chance to play in the
NFL, which is a long-time goal
and dream for me. It's neat to be
on the same team with Kroy,"
Schillinger said.
"Coach (former UM mentor
Bobby) Hauck just called me to
congratulate me, and he said who
would had ever thought that two
former Grizzly football players
from Baker and Hardin would be
playing on the same NFL team,"
said Schillinger. "I am sure that
Kroy's being so successful there
helped me to get this chance. I am
excited, but I am also happy it is
over with. It's a relief not to be
waiting around for that call any-
more."
