FARGO, N.D. — The average sal-ary of a public schoolteacher in North Dakota has risen steadily in recent years, though it still falls below the national average.

A decade ago, North Dakota teach-ers made an average of $36,695, which was less than what teachers made in 48 other states.

“We used to say, ‘Thank God for South Dakota or we’d be dead last,’ ” said Jane Rupprecht, research direc-tor for ND United, the state teachers union.

But beginning in the 2010-11

school year, North Dakota teacher salaries began its climb from the bottom. The National Education Association ranked North Dakota’s teacher salaries the 36th highest in the nation in 2013-14, when the state’s teachers made an average of $48,666.

North Dakota salaries that year remained well below those in Min-nesota. Teachers in the state ranked 21st highest for pay made an average of $54,752.

“We lost a lot of teachers to Min-nesota,” Rupprecht said. “We’re closing the gap a little bit, but they’re still way ahead of us.”

She attributes the rise in salaries

to the North Dakota’s oil-fueled economic growth.

“Even small rural schools are find-ing out that they’ve got to pay people more to get them to come,” she said,

adding that beginning teachers in Tioga make more than $45,000.

WILLISTON — State Democrats chided the Re-publican majority Monday for rapid changes to the oil tax law during the legislative session.

Their response comes after the looming “large trigger” failed to flip on in May as oil prices continued a nearly 40 percent rise since April. May prices averaged $59.47 per barrel, accord-ing to Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger, after hovering below $55.09 for four months. A fifth month would have turned the trig-ger on and sent “virtually all production” to a reduced tax rate for the oil industry, the commissioner added.

Rauschenberger confirmed Monday that the trigger was missed, and the state would have about $480 million in ad-ditional tax revenue collected from June to November.

Despite the short-term sav-ings, Democrats said avoid-ing the trigger strengthens their opposition to new oil tax law, passed in the ses-sion’s final days.

Gathering figures from the state Department of Mineral Resources, Energy Information Administra-tion and Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Democrats said the permanent cut to the oil extraction rate could cost the state nearly $370 million in the 2015 biennium and more than $6 billion through 2023.

“The non-activation of the trigger is just further affirmation that the major-ity’s decision to ramrod through their massive oil tax cut … was never about avoiding that temporary tax incentive,” said Minority Leaders Sen. Mac Schneider (D-Grand Forks) and Rep. Kenton Onstad (D-Parshall), in a statement. “It was about dramatically reducing the oil extraction tax for senseless ideological reasons that are diametrically opposed to best interests of North Dakota citizens, both present and future.”

WILLISTON — Eagle Crest Apartment Homes, sit-ting on eight acres on 26th Street West adjacent to the Harvest Hills, is a new 168-unit multifamily housing development, and like many luxury developments with amenities in Williston, it’s expensive.

The campus-style lay-out with garages on the perimeter and landscaped green space in the central courtyard provides privacy between the clubhouse and four buildings that offer one-bedroom, one-bath

apartments at $1,995; two-bedroom, one-bath are listed at $2,395 and

three-bedroom, two-bath at $3,200.

“We’re seeing interest in our products and we will continue to be aggressive with our rates for those who expect quality and are willing to invest,” said John Sessions, CEO of Bakken Housing Company, during the grand opening that welcomed hundreds of apartment hunters Saturday and Sunday. “Some will pay more, while others influ-enced by the economy will take lesser quality.”

Apartment prices as ex-pensive as Eagle Crest’s has become the norm in Willis-ton during the recent years of the oil boom that hasn’t changed apartment rents much even as oil prices have plummeted. The price of WTI crude on Monday was $60.20 a barrel. The number of statewide production rigs

dropped to 80, a new low.“The $110 a barrel mark

wasn’t typical, nor was $46 per barrel,” said Sessions, who added that oil prices have slightly increased since the beginning of the year and that oilfields work-ers, construction companies and local families seeking a quieter part of the city have rented 60 percent of the apartment units.

Still, the Bakken Housing Company plans to provide $250 monthly rental cuts for

tenants who sign a 12-month lease, while setting aside 20 percent of the units as affordable housing for families with an income of $35,000.

With oil rigs in North Dakota hit-ting a new low Monday at 80, skies may seem dark for airline prospects with a recent statewide drop in pas-senger departures.

Still, officials in Williston are pushing onward with the $250 million airport relocation project, sending the city’s final environmen-

tal assessment during the week to the Federal Aviation Administra-tion. The FAA is expected to ap-prove the plan in August, which places the city into a position to sell the current 80-acre Sloulin Field International Airport and purchase 1,500-acres of land set northwest of the city truck reliever route to build -up the recently named Williston Basin International Airport by 2017.

Officials in Williston acknowledge the statewide downturn in oil activ-ity, but remain confident in the city remaining the heart of the oil patch.

“You always know this stuff is cyclical. The price of oil is low

right now, but two years down the road it might be a different story and it probably will be,” said Chris Brostuen, the city commissioner who oversees airport projects. “A new airport represents how strong the oil and gas industry is in the im-mediate Williston region.”

Pending on the approval of the environmental assessment plan, the FAA and the state Aeronautics Commission are projected to submit their commitments for assisting in funding, and determining the city’s ability to issue a bond to facilitate an expedited construction schedule. The city plans to spend upward of

$50 million on the relocation project, but its financial input would be offset by the selling of the current airport property that includes the municipal golf course and sur-rounding land.

Gov. Jack Dalrymple and the state have been receptive of the reloca-tion project, despite the decline of overall statewide boarding statis-tics.

About 95,123 people boarded statewide planes in April, a decrease from 95,181 in April 2014, according to the state Aeronautics Commis-

EDITOR’S NOTE: Earlier this month, representatives from three groups looking to develop business opportunities in Williston, attended the ICSC annual retail conference in Las Vegas. On Sunday we looked at Stropiq’s trip, on Monday Northstar, and today we close with Granite Peaks.

BY RENÉE JEANWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — Stropiq and Northstar were not the only de-velopment groups to return from the recent global retail conference in Vegas with a glowing report. Granite Peaks was also among the Williston development firms shop-ping projects at the International Council of Shopping Centers’ an-nual retail conference, RECon.

The conference is the size of a small city, and includes more than 34,000 attendees, at an event those in the industry describe as the “show of shows.” Each of these attendees was given a copy of the conference magazine in which Williston and its developments hit the international limelight in a flattering way.

Granite Peaks Developers Sand Creek Town Centre was among de-velopments featured in the article. The article noted that the develop-

ment already has its anchor store, Menards, set for a summer opening, and the complimentary “junior box” Sportsman’s Warehouse, which is also already vertical. Sand Creek also already has a 36,000 square foot retail strip of new busi-nesses already open — a combined 400,000 square feet of retail already in progress.

Sand Creek in all has 100 acres of shovel-ready land set to go for retail-ers. Terry Metzler, the principal be-hind Granite Peaks, pointed to the development’s location as a critical element to its already evident suc-cess. “Connectivity into Sand Creek Town Centre is essentially already there,” he said, “And 11th Street being put in this year puts the final cap on it.”

He also pointed out that people coming in from Montana and Wat-ford City generally must drive by Sand Creek, giving the development even more of that all-important con-nectivity.

“That’s huge to retailers, and that’s why they are very excited about it,” Metzler said.

April Eide, CCIM, is the vice president of brokerage for Duemel-ands Commercial. She said Dueme-lands had 23 meetings in two days during the Vegas conference with

prospective retailers to discuss the Sand Creek Town Centre project being developed by Granite Peaks. The focus of their effort was finding a grocer and a soft goods anchor.

“They were all national retailers,” Eide said. “Household names.”

“And they would be complimen-tary to Sportsman’s and Menards and existing retailers in there,” added Jill Duemeland, CCIM, CEO Duemelands Commercial.

Of course, at this point, no names can be dropped as to what may be looking at Granite Peak’s acreage. A solid deal could take any where from 12 to 18 months to mature, and developers typically leave such announcements to the individual retailers.

Metzler, however, said he is very optimistic about how things went in Vegas. Pleased enough, in fact, that he decided to seek additional entitlements on nearby land. The development has just entitled another 130 acres to the west of the development last week through the city, and Metzler said he plans to seek entitlements on another 130 acres to the east of the project next summer. “We have the best con-nectivity in town,” Metzler said. “We are extremely excited with the responses internally that we’ve had

coming back from Vegas and the input that they had with the retail-ers. That’s why we are going further

Leaving Las VegasAt convention, Granite Peaks stands out because its property has actually ‘gone vertical’

from an apartment near Walmart three months ago and into a two-bedroom, one-bath unit, with a private garage.

“The rents around here are outrageous, but this is the same price and it’s twice as better,” said Brown, whose grandchildren often make use of the campus play-ground. “It’s a nice facility. It’s very well built. It’s like a house inside.”

Eagle Crest, with direct access to Highways 2 and 85, is close to shopping, dining and entertainment, schools — including the site for Williston’s likely new high school — public facilities

and the local airport.Sessions and his business

partner, George Kropinski, both of Seattle, said they had scouted out the land over-looking Sands Creek Coulee five years ago. Financing the $30 million project was difficult, but the real-estate executives acquired a special use municipal bond and quickly found themselves garnering partial financial support from North Dakota residents.

“Clearly the people of North Dakota are not afraid to invest back their proceeds of oil royalties,” Sessions said. The total financial backing was secured and the planning and entitlement process went smoothly, but construction took longer than expected due to issues with sub-resources. The first apartment building was completed in the fourth quarter of 2014, with the next three buildings arriving every other month.

“It shows that there is still people willing to invest in our community,” said Scott Meske, president of the Williston Area Chamber of

Commerce, who attended the grand opening celebration that boasted a parking lot filled with vintage automo-biles and tractors along with an on-campus jazz ensemble to accommodate barbecue near the central courtyard. “The city has an emerging, diverse economy and has the emerging of neighborhoods. Williston is not done grow-ing.”

Despite the hyperbole of an oil bust, officials in Willis-ton are expecting more than 2,126 units to come online by the end of the year, Meske said. Many projects include “spill-over units” from 2014, said Sessions, who added that the pace of multifamily developments have slowed and that rental rates are “as low as they can go,” but still thinks that market stratifica-tion is on the horizon.

“Consumers have a choice and that’s a good thing. They can shop now, just like they do with restaurants,” Meske said. “Apartments are still expensive for a lot of fami-lies. The market will correct itself, but maybe not as fast as we want it to.”

Sessions, a licensed pilot, ended Saturday’s touring by taking six prize-winners on a airborne tour of western North Dakota. He thanked them, while flying over his new nearly completed devel-opment, eager to welcome full capacity yet thinking ahead of Bakken Housing Company starting Hawkeye Village: a 160-acre develop-ment that includes 168-sin-gle-family units and 57 du-plexes connecting downtown Williston to 11th Street West and 32nd Avenue West.

“I think the growth will re-main steady,” Sessions said. “People are interested here. All we ask is that they come give us a look.”

APARTMENTS: 2,126 units expected this year OIL TAX: 466 wells completed since Feb. 1

FROM PAGE A1

FROM PAGE A1

The law dropped the rate from 6.5 percent to 5 percent, with a rate of 6 percent in the event prices hit $90 bpd or higher.

Comparatively, it was estimated the large trigger would cost the state $80 mil-lion a month.

Rauschenberger said the fiscal impact of the small trigger, which remains in effect, can be calculated after it sunsets, but estimated an impact between $160,000 and $170,000 per completed well. Four hundred sixty-six wells were completed since the small trigger activated Feb. 1.

Democrats said if the permanent cut took place during the current budget cycle, the state faced losing $671 million through March 2015 alone.

“If the majority was serious about reforming the trigger, it would have joined us in leaving some downside incentives in place to encour-age continued investment by the oil industry when times are tough, while leaving the 6.5 percent extraction tax alone,” Schneider and Onstad said, arguing oil com-panies will see a “massive” tax cut when oil is at $89 per barrel.

Extra revenue from the non-trigger will now go to assorted state coffers, including the legacy fund, a piggy bank of oil money for schools, infrastructure and state services, that cannot be touched until 2017.

Local oil patch officials echoed the Democrats by saying the unbudgeted funds need to trickle back to west-ern North Dakota.

Roselynn Blea is an aspiring youth leader who is attending the Junior National Young Leaders Conference in Washington DC from the 7-13. Roselynn resides in Williston and will soon be attending Trinity Christian School for seventh grade. She plays musical instru-ments such as the piano, and percussion; she is learning Mandarin and also wants to learn French. Roselynn hopes to be-come President of the United States after she accomplishes her goal of becoming a strong leader.

CG: When did you first become familiar with the Junior National Young Leaders Conference?

RB: My 6th grade teacher gave me a letter for the conference, and that’s when I found out what it was.

CG: What are you looking forward to when you go to Washington D.C?

RB: I am looking forward to going to most of the museums.

CG: Why the interest in Mandarin? RB: My spanish teacher had said that

we get to learn another language and she decided to teach Mandarin as well and I like the language.

CG: How would you define a leader?RB: A person who helps people with

their problems and cares for them; a per-son who also enjoys helping them.

CG: What are the main goals you would focus on if elected president?

RB: I would rearrange the country if possible, make it safer, make sure every-body has a home, and help the animals too since not a lot of people pay attention to them. I would also help the kids in fos-ter homes; these are what I would mostly like to accomplish.

The salary rise is pronounced in the state’s oil-soaked west, but the trend is seen in the east as well, she said.

The average teacher salary in Min-nesota has consistently ranked in the high teens among states in recent years, according to the NEA.

From 2003-04 to 2013-14, the average sal-ary rose from $45,375 to $54,752, and the state’s ranking dipped from 20th to 21st.

The trend in teacher pay is disappoint-ing to Paul Mueller, the vice president of state teachers union Education Minne-sota.

He says inflation erased pay gains and that lackluster per-pupil funding has

led to teachers having to decide between salaries and benefits.

“They’re choosing benefits,” he said, “so our salaries have actually been some-what flat, relatively speaking.”

Rupprecht said that while North Dakota teacher pay is improving, there is still a long ways to go.

“We’re still playing catch up,” she said. “This isn’t over by any means.

Teacher salaries in both North Dakota and Minnesota were below the national average of $56,610 in 2013-14.

FINLEY, N.D. -- A Niagara man is accused of taking a selfie with his cellphone before rear-ending a 54-year-old triathlete on her bicycle near Finley in a fatal crash last August.

Matthew Kelley Strand, 35, was charged Thursday in Steele County District Court with one count of negligent homicide, a Class C felony.

An investigation by the North Dakota Highway Patrol into the crash that killed Lisa Knudson of Portland showed that Strand was distracted by taking a picture of himself on his cellphone while driving, ac-cording to court documents filed with the charges.

Data from the phone showed that he took a pic-ture of himself at 6:48 p.m. Aug. 18, then dialed 911 to report the accident at 6:49

p.m., court records state.Data from the pickup

showed he was not only over the fog line and the rumble strip, but also that he did not brake before rear-ending Knudson, a tri-athlete who was riding her bike westbound on North Dakota Highway 200 ahead of Strand’s pickup.

Strand originally told investigators he was dis-tracted by a nearby vehicle and people at a farm, but no one could confirm there were others nearby, docu-ments state.

He also admitted erasing photos from his phone, docu-ments state.

Strand’s mother, Patsy Strand, said that Knudson was “at least 25 percent at fault,” in the crash, having been bicycling at the foot of a hill, in the lane, rather than on the shoulder at the time of the crash.

“What a stupid place to

start bicycling,” she said.Strand’s mother also said

she thinks it’s unfair her son is facing felony charges.

“Why a felony?” she said. “That Sletten gal got off. She didn’t have to do any jail time.”

Abby Elaine Sletten, 20, of Hatton, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in Traill County Court in April in connection with a fatal distracted driving case in which state troopers alleged she was on Facebook during the crash.

The elder Strand said her son’s attorney told them that a misdemeanor plea deal was unlikely due to pressure from Knudson’s family and her colleagues at a Grand Forks law firm.

“He told me he had put his phone down,” she said, of the allegations her son was driving distracted.

His next court date is set for June 17.

HILLSBORO, N.D. -- An arrest warrant has been issued for a Mayville, N.D., day care worker charged with child abuse.

Court documents filed last week in Traill County District Court say the 1-year-old victim’s mother reported the abuse in November to Traill County sheriff’s depu-ties and the North Dakota

Bureau of Criminal Inves-tigation after she picked up her daughter from day care and discovered redness and bruising on the baby’s face in the shape of a handprint.

The mother, Natasha Mul-len, also told investigators the girl had previously ex-hibited suspicious bruising on the back of her arm.

Day care worker Angela Ree allegedly told investi-gators the girl had fallen

on the floor, perhaps into a table leg, but that she didn’t noticed the “horrific” bruis-ing until later.

Court documents say Ree is no longer running a day care.

Ree was charged Thurs-day with one count of child abuse, a Class B felony.

No court date has been set.Ree could not be reached

for comment Monday.

WEST FARGO, N.D. -- A clearer picture has emerged of an estranged couple killed over the weekend in what police say was an apparent murder-suicide -- two deaths that jolted an otherwise peaceful neighborhood in West Fargo.

Authorities identified Sha-ron Beth Connell-Rick and Lance Lynn Rick, both 44, as the couple found dead early Sunday at 1072 Parkway Lane. They were married, but Rick had moved to Wash-ington state not too long ago, West Fargo Police Chief Mike Reitan said Monday.

At this point, investigators believe Rick, while on a visit to Fargo, used a handgun to shoot his wife once in her body and once in her head before firing a shot into his head, Reitan said.

The husband and wife were both well-educated pro-fessionals who, before they separated, lived together in a newer development with ample houses and lush yards in southwest West Fargo.

As far as police know, the couple did not have a history of domestic violence, Reitan said. In the past three years, there were only two police calls to the home: both from neighbors concerned about the couple’s dog being left outside, police records show.

Rick had a business called Rick Professional Services

that spe-cialized in human resources and work-place safety, according to his resume on Indeed.com. In something

of a twist, he gave a pre-

sentation last year in Fargo titled “Workplace Violence and Preparedness” on how to deal with active shooters, armed intruders and threats to employees, according to The Forum’s archive.

Since 2012, Connell-Rick had worked as senior vice president of human re-sources at TMI Hospitality,

a national hotel firm in Fargo, ac-cording to her Linke-dIn profile.

“Sharon was an impressive talent and

outstanding steward of

the TMI family,” company spokeswoman Nicole Ellis said in an email. “We are deeply saddened by this tragic loss and our thoughts and prayers are with her family.”

Rick had also worked at TMI, serving as the corpo-rate safety director from April 2013 to August 2013, according to his resume.

ing to the state Aeronau-tics Commission. Minot International Airport suffered the largest slump at 16 percent and Theodore Roosevelt Regional Airport in Dickinson fell 8 percent.

The only facilities that saw increases were Bismarck Airport at 13 percent from last year and Williston’s Sloulin Airport that boarded 10,378 passen-gers in April, a 7.5 percent increase from April, ac-cording to the state’s latest report.

Nonetheless, the state Board of University and School Lands awarded $19 million in Energy Impact Grant funds to Williston’s Sloulin Airport on Fri-day for land acquisition, terminal design and other costs association with the airport relocation project.

Sloulin Airport is fore-casted to serve more than 120,000 passengers during the year, having surpassed 100,000 passengers for the first time in its history last year, said Steven Kjer-gaard, airport manager. The airport was designed to handle only one-tenth of that traffic.

The local facility aver-ages 10 departing flights on a daily basis to Denver, Houston and Minneapolis, with Delta Airlines and United Airlines, said Kjergaard, who added the city commission has had ongoing discussions with a somewhat hesitant airline

group on additional flight routes once the airport relocation project is com-pleted.

It is hard to say whether the statewide decline in boardings is “due to the overall winter slowdown and what’s due to oil slow-down,” Kjergaard said. “But we’ve gotten busier in the past couple months and we have not seen any decrease in our flights.”

“The FAA approving the final environmental assessment plan will be a big turning point for us,” added Kjergaard, who predicted Delta and United may increase the num-ber of flights in the area. “We’re still growing and we’re still doing well.”

Meanwhile, the city has partnered with the Cardon Development Group, of

Phoenix, to rehab the cur-rent airport site once it is decommissioned.

“This will be the largest redevelopment project in the history of Williston,” said Shawn Wenko, execu-tive director of the Wil-liston Economic Develop-ment, who added the city will work with Cardon toward a development agreement and settle the land purchase intent in the upcoming months.

From a economic devel-opment standpoint, the state has experienced a slowdown from the “record numbers it’s seen in the past several years,” Wenko said. “But we are settling ourselves in for a nice, long period of economic growth.”

Last year, before Hillary Clinton’s secret email system became publicly known, Congress passed a law to keep presidents from trying the same trick. If Clinton wins the White House, the law could well be put to the test.

The statute is the Presidential and Federal Records Act Amendments of 2014. It recognizes that government of-ficials sometimes (or in Clinton’s case, all the time) want to use private email accounts -- in the words of the law, “non-official electronic messaging accounts” -- to conduct government business. Such communica-tions are still federal records, Congress de-clared, and must be preserved in accordance with existing laws requiring not just the president but all federal officials to preserve their documents.

This is what the new law says about emails:

“The President, the Vice President, or a covered employee may not create or send a Presidential or Vice Presidential record using a non-official electronic message ac-count unless the President, Vice President, or covered employee (1) copies an official electronic messaging account of the Presi-dent, Vice President, or covered employee in the original creation or transmission of the Presidential record or Vice Presidential record; or (2) forwards a complete copy of the Presidential or Vice Presi-dential record to an official electronic messaging account of the President, Vice President, or covered employee not later than 20 days after the original creation or transmission of the Presidential or Vice Presidential record.”

That’s pretty clear. All presidential communications must be preserved in a timely fashion.

The next paragraph of the law stipulates that federal em-ployees who intentionally violate the Presidential Records Act are subject to “disciplinary action” as determined by the “appropriate supervisor.” Such punishments can in-clude suspensions and cuts in pay and rank.

None of that, of course, applies to the president of the United States. As far as the chief executive is concerned, there’s no enforcement mechanism in the law.

“The Presidential Records Act is set up on the notion -- like all of our laws -- that people are going to comply,” notes a lawyer who follows these issues after service in the Justice Department in both the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations. “There isn’t really a clear legal way to hold the president accountable for this stuff.”

The Records Act gives the president entirely appropriate discretion to control the disposition of his or her records not only in the White House but for a number of years after. There are plenty of areas -- personnel decisions, for exam-ple -- in which a former president might not want sensitive documents released for a long time. Within limits, it is the president who makes those decisions.

But that’s assuming records are kept at all in some way that federal officials have access to them. The lesson of the Clinton email affair is that Hillary Clinton is inclined to set up secret, tightly limited and carefully controlled systems that are outside the reach of federal officials. When Con-gress expressed an interest in examining Clinton’s server, her personal attorney told lawmakers to forget about it -- the whole thing, backups included, had been erased.

What would happen in an entirely plausible scenario in which Clinton did something similar in the White House? After all, a President Hillary Clinton would have far more power to set up a secretive system of communications than a Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Who could tell her no?

No one -- at least until the story became a public issue. “Ultimately, this relies on the presence of some ethical people around the president, who feel obliged to blow the whistle on wrongdoing they can’t rectify internally,” says Bradford Berenson, who served in the George W. Bush White House counsel’s office, “plus congressional overseers (dependent upon the opposite party having one house of Congress), and finally, the press.”

The problem isn’t entirely new. Barack Obama is the first president to use email, but it’s been around the White House for years, and an email scandal of sorts broke out in the W. Bush years, mostly having to do with the CIA leak case. A President Hillary Clinton, if she behaved in a way similar to the way she behaved as secretary of state, could create a scandal of far bigger proportions.

Ultimately, the Presidential Records Act depends on the honesty of the president. That’s not Clinton’s strong suit. Recent polls have shown substantial numbers of Americans do not believe she is honest and trustworthy. After the State Department experience, they would have good reason to be suspicious of her in the White House.

Don’t look for this to become a big campaign issue -- com-pliance with the Presidential Records Act is not exactly the most critical issue facing voters in 2016. But as far as Hill-ary Clinton is concerned, it could be a harbinger of bigger problems to come.

(Byron York is chief political correspondent for The Wash-

ington Examiner.)

Three-forths of all duck breeding in the U.S. hap-pens in what is known as “Prairie Pothole Coun-try”, which roughly covers the western two-thirds of North Dakota.

Farmers in Northwest-ern North Dakota in particular are aware of the thousands of large and small sloughs that define our geography.

They have been stuck in them and plowed around them hundreds of times in the process of putting bread on our tables.

And yet most of us are only beginning to become aware of the potentially enormous impact that could result from the ex-pansion of the clean water act signed by the president last week.

The rule could give the EPA total control of every small slough in our land. At best it is an enormous intrusion on the rights of landowners under the guise that our water qual-ity needs further protec-tion.

At its worst it could prevent farming over a large buffer zone sur-rounding virtually every low lying water puddle in the country. That might devalue millions of acres of private land and inter-fere with hay harvesting in those sloughs which ebb and flow with changing water levels.

Congress is aware of this latest EPA doctrine. Our three-member North Dakota congressional del-egation is already working with others to find a plan that will stop or modify this ludicrous and ambigu-ous rule.

Farmers who in the past have granted what seemed like harmless wetland easements to the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service know quite well how in-trusive a deal with Wash-ington can become.

My own thinking is that the EPA won’t have the resources to make this the kind of potential night-mare we fear, unless they should partner with the Farm Service Agency.

But there is much fear that over time it will all fit into a master plan of taking over all land man-agement, which so many social planners advocate. I really fear this adminis-tration is among them.

After all, if they can sell the idea that clean water demands control of every prai-rie pothole, why not the land where rain falls, then drains into those potholes.

Yes, that is all land.

One more thing. Right now we live under a 1972 law that gave the government jurisdic-tion over navigable rivers and streams. In North Dakota, only Lake Saka-kawea and its tributaries and Devils Lake fit that definition.

Impacted farmers along those bodies not only lose the use of land as it goes under water, but the own-ership, including miner-als. There is no compensa-tion.

Could the EPA ultimate-ly become the mineral owner of all land under our sloughs and water col-lections? I don’t know.

For now we need to be better informed about how this rule could impact us. Google “New EPA Water Rules” and you will find all kinds of explanation and commentary on the

subject.Looking beyond this

rule, Americans need to better understand that there is a price to pay and a loss of freedom every time a new rule or regula-tion is put into play, even those that we perceive to be for our own protections.

I’m reminded of the old story of a Boy Scout leader who had admon-ished his boys to do a good deed every day. When two boys said they helped an old lady cross the street, he told them that was a pretty simple good deed. To which the boys replied, “No it wasn’t. This lady didn’t want to cross the street”.

America’s water is the cleanest and safest it has ever been since the time we completed settlement. How much cleaner do we want it to be? And how much are we willing to give up to get it?

Really, aren’t we smart enough to avoid drink-ing slough water, without giving up our liberty and land control?

EPA rules could have drastic impact

If Hillary becomes president, who will

make her obey the law?

WASHINGTON (AP) — An effort to draft Elizabeth War-ren into the 2016 presidential race plans to close up shop next week, acknowledging that the Massachusetts senator will not — as she has repeatedly said — seek the Democratic nomination.

MoveOn.org and Democracy for America said Tuesday they plan to suspend their Run Warren Run campaign on June 8. In their last act, they’ll deliver a petition to Warren with more than 365,000 signatures urging her to run for president. The groups said they had already influenced the economic debate in 2016 and want to focus their efforts on working with Warren on issues such as trade, including defeating the effort to give President Obama so-called “fast track” authority to complete the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. “Even without her in the race, Elizabeth Warren and the Run Warren Run campaign she inspired have already transformed the 2016 presidential election by focusing every single Democratic candidate on combating our country’s income inequality crisis,” said Charles Chamberlain, executive director of Democracy for America. Some of Warren’s followers may back Ver-mont Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who is seeking the Democratic nomination and has offered an economic agenda in line with Warren’s views.

Sanders, who formally launched his campaign last week, has called for a “political revolution” to elevate issues like income inequality, overhauling the campaign finance sys-tem and addressing climate change.

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks were little changed on Tuesday as investors weighed the latest economic news and followed negotiations between Greece and its creditors. PVH Corp., the company behind Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, was among the day’s winners. The stock jumped after it reported earnings that beat the expectations of Wall Street analysts.

KEEPING SCORE: The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell three points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,109 as of 11:09 a.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 10 points, or 0.1 percent, to 18,030. The Nasdaq composite slipped nine points, or 0.1 percent, to 5,076.

SLUGGISH GROWTH: U.S. factory orders tumbled in April, a sign that manufacturers are struggling as the U.S. dollar has strengthened. Orders fell 0.4 percent in April, marking the eighth decline in nine months, the Commerce Department said Tuesday.

THE QUOTE: The stock market is essentially unchanged over the last month, as a bull market that has lasted more than six years appears to be running out of steam. While investors are running out of reasons to buy, they are not pressing reasons to sell either.

Although stocks have climbed this year, gains have slowed after three years of double-digit increases. “It is getting to the point where it’s hard to find attractive investments,” said Jerry Braakman, chief investment officer of First American Trust.

GREECE IN FOCUS: A day after an emergency meeting of Greece’s international creditors, the country submitted a proposal it hopes will seal a deal to secure funds from its lenders. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tspiras said it is now up Europe’s leaders to accept a deal or risk potentially disas-trous consequences for the region. For four months, Greece and its creditors have been locked in a standoff over what reforms the country needs to make to get more loans.

EUROPE’S DAY: In Europe, Germany’s DAX shed 1.1 per-cent while France’s CAC 40 was down 0.5 percent. Britain’s FTSE 100 fell 0.2 percent.

EUROZONE INFLATION: Consumer prices in the 19-coun-try eurozone are rising for the first time since last Novem-ber. Official figures Tuesday from the European Union’s statistics agency, Eurostat, showed that consumer prices across the currency bloc were up 0.3 percent in May from the year before. That’s up from the flat reading in April and is the first positive reading since November.

POWER CUT: Utilities led declines for stocks as bond yields climbed for a second day amid signs that global infla-tion is rising from a very low level.

BY LAUREN DONOVANBISMARCK TRIBUNE

BEULAH, N.D. -- Shaye Yeager, 14, of Beulah, still rides his bike wherever he goes, but it won’t be long be-fore he’s driving a car across a busy rail-street intersec-tion in Beulah.

Yaeger and his pals, Joe Hager, 14, and Mason Waller, 13, stopped to check out the action at the crossing Mon-day and got a brief safety talk from Federal Railroad Administration representa-tive.

One of the volunteers handing out safety messages walked over to the bike boys and handed them the same information she was giving to vehicle drivers: crossings are dangerous and drivers should be aware and give trains the right of way.

In fact, such crossings are more dangerous than ever. The number of train-vehicle crashes in North Dakota has nearly doubled in the last five years and to help, the North Dakota Safety Coun-cil is conducting the Bakken Rail Safety Blitz throughout the week.

Volunteers will stand at crossings, like they did Monday at Beulah, and help educate the driving public.

Yeager said he’s careful now, even on his bike. “I just

stop and wait and stay about 20 feet back in case some-thing happens to the train,” he said.

He said he doesn’t try to beat the train, either, by biking to the next in-town crossing because the train gets there first anyway.

The main crossing in Beu-lah is on Highway 49, which passes through the heart of town and the BNSF Rail-way rumbles across it with Bakken crude oil unit trains loaded at nearby Zap.

Peter Pomonis, Operation Lifesaver coordinator, said train and vehicle traffic are on the rise in western North Dakota and the Bakken Blitz is part of statewide effort to educate the public.

He said the blitz isn’t so much about Bakken crude trains or others with haz-ardous, flammable materi-als, though he says they do raise the ante in a potential accident.

“There’s not much we can do about trains. They’re here to stay. Our goal is to get the public to make the right decisions,” Pomonis said. “There can be a derail-ment if a train strikes a vehicle or if it has to hit the brakes to avoid striking a vehicle in the crossing.”

Beulah Police Department officer Dustin Pekas helped

stop cars so the volunteers could lean in the vehicle window and hand out the safety information.

“This is a major highway, a major crossing and a main artery in town. It’s been pretty good here. The cross arms are in good repair and they do great maintenance here,” Pekas said. “But people need to make sure to keep their eyes open and watch before they cross.”

Pomonis said there have

been 125 train-vehicle crashes since 2010, causing 15 deaths and 568 injuries in North Dakota.

Leann Wallin, a commu-nity policing coordinator for Moorhead, Minn., volun-teered for the program, handing out safety cards on one side of the track, while Cheri Bonebrake, a crossing safety manager for the FRA, worked the other side.

“I’m here today because every crossing is a concern.

DICKINSON, N.D. -- A de-crease in crude oil prices that caused production to slow has resulted in some positive effects for the area, KLJ’s CEO reported to the Dickin-son City Commission during a special meeting Monday afternoon.

Niles Hushka said there has been significant innova-tion in the field since the drop in crude oil prices.

“The play is all about opti-mizing production in existing facilities or how do you make yields come out,” he said.

He used an example where Whiting Petroleum Corp. has wells in the region that are yielding 7,000 barrels of energy equivalent.

“Those initial productions are twice as much as we ever would have expected,” he said.

This time last year, he said, wells that were yielding 3,000 to 3,500 were considered “very good.” But innovation has occurred since then, which suggest re-fracking may be feasible.

While industries have reported a decrease in busi-

ness due to the oil drilling and production slowdown, Hushka said the unemploy-ment rate in the area is still relatively low.

He said many of the employees were laid off were from surrounding regions -- mainly out of state -- and therefore didn’t have a drastic effect on residents of Dickinson.

Many companies opted to freeze salaries but didn’t lay employees off completely.

Hushka said a surge bill from the state of North Dakota also helped provide construction jobs for those who were looking for work.

“It kicked in at just the right time,” Hushka said.

Although marginally, studies have also shown the slowdown has driven down the cost of a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment in oil-hub cities.

The cost of living is still higher than non-oil produc-ing regions in the state, but that price is slowly decreas-ing.

Hushka said that based off of studies, he suspects oil production will begin again shortly, once crude oil prices climb to $65-$70 a barrel.

Dickinson weathering the oil slowdown well

Dear Annie: Another Mother’s Day is here, and I dread it. I dislike spending any time with my mother, but I do it anyway because I feel it is the right thing to do.

My father was an alco-holic, and Mom was abu-sive, both emotionally and physically. Many times, my siblings and I had to sit in the car outside the bars while my parents were in-side drinking. She also beat us with the wire end of a fly swatter.

One of her favorite things was to slap me across the face. But what hurt the most were the cruel and cutting things she said about how I looked and dressed.

Growing up, I had to wait on her hand and foot, getting her cigarettes, beer, coffee or anything else.

I also was expected to do a lot of the housework and cooking.

Ironically, I don’t resent that as much because I learned skills I might not have otherwise developed. Her abuse also taught me to be a better parent, because I knew how I did not want to raise my children.

I know Mom was un-happy, and I am sure she felt trapped, but so did my father.

She is now a widow, cries a lot and wants attention and sympathy. When I was

diagnosed with cancer, it was all about what she was go-ing through. She never once asked me how I was doing. After 63 years of this, I am tired of her excuses for the way she

treated me. She has never said she was sorry. It was always someone else’s fault. Am I a bad daughter for not wanting to be around her? -- Over It

Dear Over: No. We think you’ve put up with a great deal over the years. What-ever you give back to your mother now is a selfless act of pure kindness.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “N.Y., N.Y.,” the 34-year-old who is re-luctant to visit her elderly grandmother. The writer stated that the grandmother doesn’t know who she is half the time. That means she does know who she is the other half.

I understand that some people have a hard time vis-iting hospitals and nursing homes or seeing a loved one change.

But this grandmother is

a living, breathing person with feelings, memories and needs. It is inexcusable to turn your back on a loved one because it makes you uncomfortable.

There are many other ways to support someone who is homebound or living in a facility.

Cards, letters, pictures and phone calls can delight someone who may not be able to communicate in other ways. For the last two years of her life, I sent my aunt postcards on a weekly basis, even though she had dementia. When she died, we found them in her bed-side table.

Her caretaker said my aunt carried them around with her. They helped her feel connected to me, even though we lived 3,000 miles apart.

It is also important to sup-port the primary caregivers. I was my own mother’s pri-mary support.

Mom didn’t call me by name for the last eight years of her life, but I could tell by the way she looked at me, even to her last day, that she knew who I was and loved me with everything she had.

‘’N.Y.” is old enough to understand what being part of a family really means. I hope she gets it before her precious grandmother is gone. -- Part of a Family in N.H.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t re-use ineffective methods when it comes to chasing your dreams. Share your ideas with confidence and make sure everyone knows you have something new and special to offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your resiliency will be tested. Keep your emo-tions in check in order to deal with matters effectively and efficiently. An issue that began under difficult circumstances will turn in your favor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Be bold. Demonstrate your tal-ent to your superiors. Your attention to detail will make the difference between what

you offer and the services of a rival.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t listen to critics. Try-ing to please everyone is pointless. Some people will find fault no matter what you do or say. Get together with friends who share your ideas and ethics.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- The insight of a casual acquaintance will provide the catalyst for a new career path. Seek out the opinions of those with experience, and educate yourself about the possibilities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Concentrate on working alongside your allies and supporters. Don’t waste time trying to convince skeptics. You and your supporters will make headway if you stick togSAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You will feel overwhelmed. Don’t make rash decisions. Take your emotions out of the equation and assess your situation honestly. You can still succeed if you focus on simplicity and completion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Someone you trusted will let you down. Rehash-

ing the situation won’t change matters; it will only postpone the inevitable. Shake off the disappoint-ment and move on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Carve out a comfort-able niche for yourself and your family. You don’t have to spend a lot of money. A comfortable, safe environ-ment is a refuge and stress reliever during unsettling times.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Make the truth a priority. Reneging on a promise will cause a major disruption to an important relationship. If you have been neglect-ful, now is the time to make amends.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Romance is in the stars. Your vivid imagination will be yearning for a new adventure or destination. This is the right time to go exploring for the happiness you desire.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can outmaneuver the competition if you produce instead of dispute. A war of words will waste time and keep you from finalizing plans and projects.

Doug Larson, a newspaper columnist and editor, said, “If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day week-end.”

If a bridge player knows about endplays (this week’s theme), he will not labor long over today’s deal. How should South play in four spades after West leads the diamond jack?

Some players with that North hand would respond four spades. They would mention the Law of Total Tricks, say-ing it recommends that with a 10-card fit, bid to the 10-trick level. But that applies when your side cannot have the nor-mal high-card values for game or when it is a competitive auc-tion. Here, South could have 19 or 20 points, and the auction is not competitive. Also, North has a balanced hand with a lot of losers. I think two spades is the correct response.

If West had led a club (un-thinkable from his actual hold-ing), the defenders could have taken three tricks in the suit and gotten off play with a spade or diamond. Then declarer would have had to find the heart queen. But now he does not need to guess its location.

He wins with his diamond ace (top of touching honors from the closed hand), draws trumps, cashes his diamond king, and exits with a club.

The defenders take three tricks in that suit, but what can the one on lead do next?

If he chooses a heart, de-clarer plays second hand low and cannot lose a trick in the suit. If that defender returns a diamond or club, South ruffs in one hand and discards his heart loser from the other hand. Cool!

A8 SportsSportsMINOT — Minot State University

Athletic Director Rick Hedberg an-nounced Monday that Ben Kaszeta has been named the Beavers’ eighth head volleyball coach in school history.

Kaszeta has been involved in coaching at the collegiate level since 2007 and at all levels since 1998.

“We are excited to announce that Ben will be leading our volleyball program into the future,” Hedberg said. “He has experience at the NCAA Division I and Division II levels as well as the junior college and club levels. He has a great track record for recruiting excel-lent student-athletes and feel he is a great fit for Minot State University.”

“Minot State has shown it can compete with some of the top teams in the country by competing in the Northern Sun,” Kaszeta said. “And,

while we haven’t necessarily been able to beat those teams yet, I am confident we can get to that point. You have to be prepared every night out and that’s something that really attracted me to this position. The reputation of the school and the administration is very high and I wanted to get to a place where I can compete with the best in the country.”

Kaszeta worked under Jackson-ville State’s Terry Gamble in 2014, helping the Gamecocks to an 18-16 overall record and a 9-7 conference mark. He coached one season at NCAA Division I McNeese State University, also under head coach Gamble, in 2013. He served as the team’s recruiting coordinator at both schools.

“I have had great success recruit-ing all over the nation and outside of the US and hope to bring that

success here,” he said. “We will play tenacious defense, crazy, fast, hard defense here. Winning or los-ing, we will play hard all the time. I can say that for every team I have coached before and expect that here. Our team will bleed Minot State Red & Green.”

Prior to his two seasons in NCAA DI volleyball, he was the head coach at NCAA Division II Lake Superior State from 2010-12. He had three All-Great Lakes Intercol-legiate Athletic Conference players and eight GLIAC All-Academic players in two seasons.

He started his collegiate coaching career at Mott Community College in 2007 and spent two seasons as the head coach. He moved to on to his Alma Mater Eastern Michigan University as a volunteer assistant coach in 2009.

Along with his collegiate coach-

ing experience, he has been in-volved with both club and USA vol-leyball since 1998. He spent 2013 as the Cowgirl Volleyball Club’s lead trainer and was an assistant and head coach at USA Volleyball Lake-shore Region High Performance from 2009-2012. He was the Youth Team’s head coach in 2012. He also spent time coaching at Huron Val-ley Volleyball (2008-11), Michigan Elite Volleyball Club (2004-08) and Oxford AAU Volleyball.

Kaszeta served as the head coach of the Huron Valley 17 National Team for four years and assisted with Lakeshore Region Youth Select Team, which qualified for the USA Volleyball High Performance Championship in 2009, 2010 and 2011. He served as the program’s head coach in 2012 and led the team to a seventh place finish at the USAV HPC in Des Moines, Iowa.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Adrian Peterson is com-ing back to the Minnesota Vikings, telling The Associ-ated Press that he will par-

ticipate in the team’s voluntary practice on Tuesday and still has love for his team after nine months away.

Peter-son sent an e-mail to the

AP early Tuesday morning saying he’s excited to put on a uniform again after miss-ing the final 15 games of last season while address-ing child abuse charges in Texas. He also skipped the team’s voluntary prac-tices last week while openly lamenting the fact that the final three years of his con-tract are not guaranteed.

“I’ve been away from the game for an entire season,” Peterson wrote to the AP. “I wanted the chance to be around the players and coaches, the guys that really matter to me.”

After skipping the three practices last week, Peter-son tweeted that he was looking for more long-term security on a contract that has three years and roughly $45 million left on it, none of which is guaranteed. He told the AP that a family commitment caused him to miss the workouts, but also said “it’s normal procedure for any player in my posi-tion to want to secure his future.”

Peterson’s agent, Ben Dogra, told The Associated Press they have received no assurances from the Vikings that changes to his contract are on the table.

The relationship between the team and its franchise player has been tense dating back to September, when the child abuse allegations first surfaced. He spent much of the season on the commis-sioner’s exempt list while his case unfolded and he was angered by a perceived lack of support from some members of the organiza-tion, namely COO Kevin Warren.

Suddenly, Peterson says he’s ready to put all of that behind him.

“I understand this is a business. Clearly there were a lot of emotions involved, but I will only be better from the situation,” Peterson wrote. “I have a role to play and the Vikings have one as well. It’s time to move forward and put my energy and focus on prepar-ing for the season.”

Peterson pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for striking his 4-year-old son with a wooden switch while disci-plining him, and his agents initially pushed for a trade once he was reinstated from his suspension. The Vikings maintained all along they had no plans to trade the former NFL MVP, believing that his presence could help turn a team that finished 7-9 last year into a playoff contender.

PARIS (AP) — Ana Iva-novic advanced to the semi-finals of a major tourna-ment for the first time since winning her only Grand Slam title at the French Open seven years ago with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Elina Svitolina on Tuesday.

The seventh-seeded Iva-novic played aggressively throughout and compen-sated for her many mis-takes with 37 winners to extend her unbeaten record against her 20-year-old op-ponent to seven.

After sealing her win with a forehand passing shot — her 28th forehand winner of the match — the

2008 champion at Roland Garros said: “I don’t know if I should feel very old or very happy.”

With windy conditions on Court Philippe Chatrier, Ivanovic started with a double-fault but once she found her range she was in complete control. The Serb was also the best player on important points, saving three of four break points.

The 27-year-old Ivanovic will next face 13th-seeded Lucie Safarova, who de-feated Garbine Muguruza 7-6 (3), 6-3 to advance to her second Grand Slam semi-final. Safarova, who upset defending champion Maria

Sharapova in the previous round, also made it to the semifinals at Wimbledon last year.

After they traded breaks early on, Ivanovic raced through the opener, secur-ing another break in the fourth game, and sealed the set by holding at love.

She kept hammering Svitolina with her big forehands to break at the start of the second set and quashed her opponent’s comeback attempt in the second game when she saved a break point at 30-40 following a 17-shot rally.

With sudden gusts of wind blowing the red clay

into the player’s eyes, Iva-novic ended the match with 30 unforced errors but her all-risk approach worked. The former top-ranked player broke again for a 5-2 lead and served out the match on her third occa-sion. “The ball was going all over the place,” Ivanovic said. “I’m really happy that I stayed calm despite the mishits.”

In the men’s side of the draw, second-seeded Roger Federer was to play Stan Wawrinka in an all-Swiss quarterfinal and local favorite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was up against Kei Nishi-kori.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks could go in a couple of dif-ferent directions when it comes to their last two defensemen for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.

Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane could play together on their top line.

Then again, they might be split up against Tampa Bay.

Asked about his lineup on Monday, coach Joel Quenneville was just as elusive as his talented team.

Trevor van Riemsdyk was expected to travel with the Blackhawks to Florida, and Quenneville said he would be evaluated over the next couple of days.

The rookie defenseman is coming

back from surgeries on his left knee and right wrist and hasn’t played an NHL game since Nov. 16.

The Blackhawks have leaned on their top four defensemen in the playoffs, and that much is expected to remain the same when they face the speedy Lightning in Game 1 on Wednesday night. But who lines up in the last two spots is an ongoing conversation.

“We’ll see on all the options,” Quenn-eville said Monday. “Van Riemsdyk will make the trip with us. We’ll gauge him with practice tomorrow. He skated today.”

Kyle Cumiskey and David Rundblad occupied the final two spots in the

last two games of the Western Confer-ence finals against Anaheim. Veteran Kimmo Timonen struggled against the physical Ducks, but could get back into the lineup against the Lightning.

If the top four defensemen keep up their current pace — Duncan Keith is averaging a gaudy 31:35 of ice time — then the last two spots will play less than 10 minutes apiece. But those minutes could be important against the high-scoring Lightning.

“They definitely have a lot of speed. You’re right on that,” Keith said. “They’ve got a lot of skill, too. They have forwards who have really good hockey sense.”

Pizza, Cuban sand-wiches on line in may-ors’ Stanley Cup bet

CHICAGO (AP) — The mayors of Chicago and Tampa are putting a collec-tion of their cities’ treats on the line as the Chicago Blackhawks and Tampa Bay Lightning battle for the Stanley Cup.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office says his wager with Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn includes 122 slices of Eli’s cheesecake. Emanuel is also offering up a case of SlapShot Brewing beer, mustard-fried catfish and peach cobbler from BJ’s Market, and deep-dish pizza from Giordano’s.

Buckhorn is betting 122 Ybor City Cuban sand-wiches, a case of Cigar City Invasion Pale Ale and the “1905” salad from the Columbia Restaurant.

A contribution to an organization chosen by the winning mayor is also at stake.

Sports in Brief

FIFA says Valcke not behind $10M payment in corruption probe

ZURICH (AP) — Amid a deepening corruption cri-sis within soccer’s govern-ing body, FIFA defended its second-in-command on Tuesday by trying to distance him from claims he helped authorize $10 million in bribes for World Cup bidding votes.

FIFA said the three pay-ments totaling $10 million mentioned in a U.S. federal indictment, which are at the heart of a Department of Justice probe, were approved in 2007 by Julio Grondona, the former chairman of the finance committee who died last year.

The FIFA statement follows a New York Times report that American law enforcement officials believe secretary general Jerome Valcke trans-ferred the money in 2008 to accounts controlled by Jack Warner, the former CONCACAF president and FIFA vice president who faces corruption charges in the U.S. The report cited unidentified law enforce-ment officials.

NSA PHONE COLLECTION BILL CLEARS SENATE HURDLE

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Sen-ate sped toward passage Tuesday of legislation to end the National Security Agency’s collection of Americans’ calling records while preserving other surveillance authorities. But House leaders warned their Senate counter-parts not to proceed with planned changes to a House version.

Kevin McCarthy of California, the House majority leader, said amendments contemplated by the Senate “would bring real chal-lenges” in getting the House to go along.

“The best way to make sure America is protected is for the Senate to pass the USA Freedom Act,” he said, referring to the House version.

The Senate version of that bill cleared a procedural hurdle Tuesday by a vote of 83-14, and it was expected to pass the Senate by day’s end. But Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he planned votes on three modifications.

The law authorizing government bulk collection and storage of Americans’ phone records expired at midnight Sunday. The NSA stopped gathering the records from phone companies hours be-fore the deadline. Other post-9/11 surveillance provisions considered more effective than the phone-data collection program also lapsed, leading intelligence officials to warn of critical gaps.

Those other provisions include the FBI’s authority to gather business records in terrorism and espionage investigations, and to more easily eavesdrop on a suspect who is discarding cellphones to avoid surveillance.

During a closed-door House GOP meeting Tuesday morning, several members expressed deep concerns about the planned Senate amend-ments. Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin called the changes a “poison pill” during the meet-ing, said a leadership aide who declined to be named because he was not authorized to be quoted publicly.

Republican Sen. John Barrasso attended the meeting to represent Senate leaders and indicated that the message was received, the aide said.

SURVIVORS PULLED FROM CHINA BOAT CAPSIZING; HUNDREDS MISS-ING

JIANLI, China (AP) — Divers pulled three people alive from inside an overturned cruise ship and searched for other survivors Tuesday, state media said, giving some small hope amid an appar-ently massive tragedy with well over 400 people still missing on the Yangtze River.

Fifteen people were brought to safety and at least five people were confirmed dead after the Eastern Star capsized in Hubei Province during a severe storm Monday night with 458 people aboard, the official Xinhua News Agency said. The cruise was from Nanjing to the southwestern city of Chongq-ing, and many of those aboard were elderly.

“Looks like we are in trouble,” tour guide Zhang Hui, 43, recalled telling a colleague. In an interview with Xinhua from his hospital bed, he said rain pounded the ship, seeping into cabins, and that heavy listing sent bottles rolling off tables before the ship suddenly went all the way over.

The 43-year-old Zhang said he grabbed a life jacket with seconds to spare and drifted all night de-spite not being able to swim, reach-ing shore as dawn approached.

“The raindrops hitting my face felt like hailstones,” he said. “’Just hang in there a little longer,’ I told myself.”

The survivors included the ship’s captain and chief engineer, both of whom were taken into police custody, state broadcaster CCTV said. Relatives who gath-ered in Shanghai, where many of the travelers started their journey by bus, questioned whether the captain did enough to ensure the safety of passengers and demand-ed answers from local officials in unruly scenes that drew a heavy police response.

IRS NEEDS TO DO MORE TO FIGHT CYBERATTACKS, WATCHDOG SAYS

WASHINGTON (AP) — The IRS has failed to implement dozens of security upgrades to combat cyberattacks, leaving the agency’s computer systems vulnerable to hackers, a government watchdog told Congress Tuesday.

The agency’s inspector general outlined the security weaknesses a week after the IRS announced that criminals had stolen the personal information of 104,000 taxpayers from an IRS website. The IRS be-lieves the information was stolen as part of an elaborate scheme to claim fraudulent tax refunds.

“TheIRS faces the daunting task of protecting its data and IT environment from the ever-chang-ing and rapidly-evolving hacker world,” said J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. “This incident provides a stark reminder that even security controls that may have been adequate in the past can be overcome by hackers, who are anonymous, persistent, and have access to vast amounts of personal data and knowledge.”

Each year, George’s office audits the IRS’s security systems and recommends improvements. As of March, 44 of those upgrades had not been completed, George said. Ten of the recommendations were made more than three years ago.

George could not say whether the security upgrades would have prevented the recent breach. However, he added: “It would have been much more difficult had they implemented all of the recommen-dations that we made.”

George and IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testified at a hear-ing Tuesday by the Senate Finance Committee.

POLICE SEARCH FOR MAN SENTENCED FOR STALKING MILA KUNIS

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Au-thorities were searching for a man sentenced for stalking actress Mila Kunis after he escaped from a Southern California mental health facility by climbing through a bathroom window and scaling a

barbed-wire fence.Probation officials said Monday

that they were looking for Stuart Lynn Dunn, but he had no local contacts and they had no leads.

Dunn disappeared around 7:30 p.m. Saturday from the Olive Vista Behavioral Health Center in Pomona, said Deputy Chief Reaver Bingham of the Los Angeles County probation department. Officials went to look for Dunn after he didn’t come back from the shower, Bingham said.

“We’re treating him as danger-ous,” Bingham said. “We never know the state of mind of an indi-vidual. He does have a fixation on the original victim, so that’s why.”

Kunis was notified of the escape, he said.

Asked if she was being given protection, Bingham said there is a law enforcement protocol for such situations but he could not discuss it. He did not know what private measures she may have taken. Dunn pleaded no contest to stalking the “Black Swan” and “That ‘70s Show” actress in Janu-ary 2013.

MORE OLDER AMERICANS ARE BEING BURIED BY HOUSING DEBT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Al and Saundra Karp have found an un-conventional way to raise money and help save their Miami-area home from foreclosure: They’re lining up gigs for their family jazz band.

They enjoy performing. But it isn’t exactly how Al, an 86-year-old Korean War vet, or Saundra, 76, had expected to spend their retire-ment.

Of all the financial threats facing Americans of retirement age — outliving savings, falling for scams, paying for long-term care — housing isn’t supposed to be one. But after a home-price collapse, the worst recession since the 1930s and some calamitous decisions to turn homes into cash machines, millions of them are straining to make house payments.

The consequences can be severe. Retirees who use retirement

money to pay housing costs can face disaster if their health dete-riorates or their savings run short. They’re more likely to need help from the government, charities or their children. Or they must keep working deep into retirement.

“It’s a big problem coming off the housing bubble,” says Cary Sternberg, who advises seniors on housing issues in The Villages, a Florida retirement community. “A growing number of seniors are struggling with what to do about their home and their mortgage and their retirement.”

The baby boom generation was already facing a retirement crunch: Over the past two decades, employers have largely eliminated traditional pensions, forcing work-ers to manage their retirement savings. Many boomers didn’t save enough, invested badly or raided their retirement accounts.

US-LED COALITION DOUBLES DOWN ON IS GROUP STRATEGY

PARIS (AP) — The U.S.-led coali-tion against the Islamic State is doubling down on its strategy to fight the extremists, despite the radical group’s recent conquests on both sides of the border be-tween Iraq and Syria.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi pressed his case Tuesday for more support from the 25 coun-tries in the coalition at a one-day Paris conference on fighting the militant group, organized within weeks of the fall of the Iraqi city of Ramadi and the Syrian city of Palmyra.

The coalition has mustered a mix of airstrikes, intelligence sharing and Iraqi ground opera-tions against the extremists. Al-Abadi said more was needed — his country reeling after troops pulled out of Ramadi without a fight and abandoned U.S.-supplied tanks and weapons. “We will redouble our efforts,” said Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken, who was lead-ing the delegation after U.S. Secre-tary of State John Kerry broke his leg in a cycling accident in eastern France over the weekend.

Grand Opening!

BY ELIZABETH HACKENBURGWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — Sporting the famous brown leather hat, spectacles and 20th-century outdoorsy attire of Theodore Roosevelt, actor Arch Ellwein strode into the city’s library as the country’s 26th president, armed with stories of high adventure and enthusiasm for reading.

Few of the young children gathered inside the building Monday afternoon had any idea who the man with the fringed leather gloves and high-pitched nasal laugh was supposed to be, but they showed him the greatest mark of respect a kid can give — rapt attention.

Ellwein, as Roosevelt, launched into tales of buffa-lo hunting in the rain, time spent in the Dakota ter-ritories with cowboys and Indians, longhorn cattle, “vast, silent spaces, lonely rivers and reckless riders who looked into the eyes of life or death unmoved,” and dealing with bullies in the Wild West.

Some of the roughrider talk may have gone over the heads of his young audi-ence, but the excitement did not. His description of a wild grizzly bear hunt, end-ing in the animal’s death at his hands, had the kids on the edge of their seats, and everyone paid attention when Ellwein launched into the story of the first Teddy bear.

Jane Studsrud brought

her granddaughter, Sawyer, 5, to the kickoff. “I like him because of his hat,” Sawyer decided, adding that she “liked when he climbed the mountain and when he showed that bear claw.”

Jaden Jones, 7, of Willis-ton loved Ellwein’s accounts of adventure. “It would have been fun to do all those kinds of things,” he said.

Ellwein, 58, who lives in Sidney, has been bringing historical figures to life for nearly 20 years. Roosevelt’s “enthusiasm for life” has made him one of the actor’s favorites to portray, even to tough audiences of pre-schoolers.

“These are young kids, but they will talk back and they will tell you what they think,” he said.

Ellwein’s appearance kicked off the start of the Williston library’s summer reading program, which has a superhero theme this year, said children’s librarian Andrea Mitchell.

“We thought it would be important to incorporate some North Dakota heroes to show that real people made changes in the world, not just Spiderman and Bat-man,” she said.

Kids from preschool through sixth grade can participate in the program, which features prizes for ev-ery 100 minutes of reading done at home, and weekly classes at the library. Up-coming classes will focus on community heroes, Greek mythology, superhero training camp and super sidekicks.

The program, which runs until mid-July, is free, and does not require a library card. Visit the Williston Community Library’s Face-book page for more details.
