WILLISTON — Since the Bakken boom, the job market in Williston has grown at an impossible rate. Many of the jobs in the Bakken, however, require applicants to have training or a higher education level than the workforce can get locally. Williston State College and the University of North Dakota have agreed to explore how they can address that gap. The agreement expands on an existing, long-standing agreement in which UND provides financial aid services to the community college. The process will begin by asking the public for input on perceived training and education needs. "Discussions about furthering this relationship are timely given the enormous surge in population growth in cities like Crosby, Stanley, Tioga, Watford City and Williston," said WSC President Raymond Nadolny. "Any further cooperation between our institutions will only facilitate increased higher

BISMARCK — Around 10:45 a.m. on a recent March day, North Dakota Highway Patrol Trooper Jeremy Rost rolled out of the patrol’s Bismarck regional office. The trooper took his cruiser onto Interstate Highway 94,
where the weather was sunny and warm and the traffic was cruising along. About 12 minutes into his patrol, Rost made his first stop. A Cadillac van with Montana plates was doing 85 mph in a 75 mph zone, earning the driver a $50 ticket. Over the next two hours, Rost handed out another citation for

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has opened the first major campaign of the 2016 presidential season with a kickoff speech courting cultural conservatives. One of several Republican hopefuls to rise from the tea party movement, Cruz spoke at Liberty University, the college founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell. Cruz addressed his religious faith, his father's Cuban roots, and declared: "For so many Americans the promise of America seems more and more distant." He says his mission is about "reigniting the promise of America." A familiar stop for presidential hopefuls, the selection of Liberty University is meant as a marker against potential rivals who are also counting on Christian conservatives to fuel their ambitions.

Some of more than 350 miles of pipe awaiting shipment for the Keystone XL oil pipeline is stored at Welspun Tubular, in Little Rock, Ark.
A pipe dream?
As fight over Keystone XL rages on, more pipeline projects are pushed forward without a challenge BY RENÉE JEAN WILLISTON HERALD
Nineteen pipelines already cross the U.S.Canadian border, and three more pipelines that would cross that border have been proposed — none of them garnering the sort of attention Keystone XL has. Meanwhile, there's been a quiet pipeline boom underway in the U.S., with companies adding capacity of 3.3 million barrels of oil per day to the infrastructure since 2012, according to a recent Associated Press report. Among recent additions here in the Bakken was
the Double H pipeline, completed in January by Hiland without fanfare, and recently acquired by Kinder Morgan. Double H stretches from Dore to Guernsey, Wyoming with an initial capacity of 84,000 barrels of crude per day. It will eventually take up to 108,000. In a world where so many pipelines are routinely and quietly built, Keystone has somehow become a lightning rod to both left and right — and that outcry has been a bone of contention to both North Dakota Sens. John Hoeven and Heidi Heitkamp. "It's a pipeline," Heitkamp says. "I have frequently told
colleagues on both sides, we have them all across America and across the border. They are necessary infrastructure." Not only do 19 pipelines carrying crude already cross the Canadian border with the United States, Hoeven says, but underscoring that irony to him is that one of those pipelines is the original Keystone line, built by none other than TransCanada. "That whole thing, application to completion, was done in four years," Hoeven says. "That's 640,000 barrels a day of Canadian crude oil, and it goes through eastern North Dakota to
refineries in Illinois." KEYSTONE PRIMER Keystone XL would take a shorter route than the original Keystone line, connecting with existing pipeline systems in Steel City, Nebraska. The 1,179-mile line would also carry more oil — about 830,000 barrels a day, some of it Bakken crude. Since it crosses the U.S. border, it requires a finding by the president that building it is in the national interest. Proponents have said the line would increase the country's energy indepen-

Natural gas rules push, pull Bakken oil producers BY LAUREN DONOVAN BISMARCK TRIBUNE
On one hand, Bakken oil producers are being told to quit flaring so much gas and, on the other, to start generating more gas. This "push in the opposite direction," as described by Department of Mineral Resources director Lynn Helms, will officially start April 1 and probably last for another five years. The push comes from an inherent conflict in two orders by the State Industrial Commission. One order requires oil producers to gradually

Hospital gets longer to examine North Dakota mom who left kids to die BY BLAKE NICHOLSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
BISMARCK (AP) — A Federal Bureau of Prisons medical center in Texas has been given more time to examine the mental health of a woman who told authorities she left her 2- and 4-yearold daughters to die in an unheated car during a frigid winter day in North Dakota. Warden Jody Upton at the
Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas, asked U.S. District Judge Dan Hovland to give a forensic psychologist 45 days rather than 30 to examine Michelle Wounded Face. "Additional time is required to conduct a thorough, adequate and comprehensive evaluation in order to determine the existence of insanity at the time of
the offense," Upton said. Hovland, who ordered the exam last month, said "good cause has been demonstrated" and ordered the medical center to complete the evaluation no later than April 17 and submit a written report within two weeks of completion. The report will help determine whether Wounded Face is mentally competent to stand trial.

It seemed like Gary was always helping friends and family members and oftentimes complete strangers. Gary could often be found mowing his lawn or grandpa Gust’s lawn or even the lawn at Our Savior’s Church. In Gary’s later years he loved spending time with his grandchildren, they brought a wonderful amount of joy to his life and Gary brought the same to theirs. Gary was preceded in death by his parents Gust and Edna and his wife Beverly. Gary is survived by his two sons Matthew (Annie) and Andrew (Amy) and by five grandchildren Madelyn, Aaden, Abriella, Taylor and Devin, two brothers, Larry (Gloria) Nelson and Rodger Nelson. Friends may call at the church on Tuesday, one hour prior to the funeral service. Fulkerson Funeral Home of Williston is assisting the family.

been cited and told Rost he was an oilfield worker going through a divorce. The woman warned for driving 81 mph in a 75 mph zone told Rost her speedometer read 79 mph. She also joked that her husband, riding unbelted in the front seat, "likes being a crash test dummy." Rost didn't hesitate to pull somebody over for exhibiting dangerous driving behavior, but he said his reason for doing so was road safety and not to meet an annual quota. But a recent email from NDHP Southeast Detachment Capt. Bryan Niewind recently congratulated troopers in an email for various traffic safety enforcement awards before listing "2015 goal numbers ... for traffic troopers." Fargo troopers were given a goal of 14 driving-underthe-influence arrests, 72 right-of-way violation warnings or citations, 60 seatbelt violation warnings or citations, 240 speed enforcement warnings and citations and two drug arrests. Col. Michael Gerhart confirmed the email's authenticity and said the numbers are similar for the Bismarck area, but was adamant that the numbers provided were goals and not a quota. "I don't support quotas, and there won't be quotas in the future," said Gerhart, explaining that the email provided priorities not requirements. "Our focus is crash prevention," Gerhart said. "Our No. 1 goal, our sole mission, is saving lives." North Dakota has no shortage of vehicle fatalities. In 2014, 136 people died in fatal crashes in North Dakota, with 53 of those crashes being alcohol-related. In 76 cases, the person killed was not wearing a seatbelt. More than two dozen of those killed died during right-of-way crashes. In 2013, one person died in a vehicle crash in North Dakota every two-and-a-half days. Rost said he viewed the
goals as just that and said he felt no pressure to meet them. He said he didn't always meet the numbers provided due to other responsibilities. "Sometimes, you get involved in other things, and it just doesn't happen," he said. Rost, a 13-year veteran of the patrol, has been watching North Dakota's population grow with the oil boom -- and, with it, more traffic accidents. Rost said the goals keep troopers focused on driving offenses known to contribute to fatalities. Scrutiny of any patrol quotas has increased with a recent proposal, still under consideration, to tie traffic troopers' annual 2 percent to 4 percent merit pay raise to their performance in making stops, at least in part. The idea would be to reward high performers with the maximum possible merit raise of 4 percent, according to NDHP Capt. Aaron Hummel. Command staff would look at the totality of a trooper's annual performance when evaluating whether to award a merit raise, not just the number of traffic stops, according to NDHP Lt. Thomas Iverson, adding that other areas of consideration, would include whether a trooper spent time teaching at the state's Law Enforcement Training Academy, serving as a field training officer to new recruits or participating in community outreach efforts, such as the Trooper on a Bus program. Gerhart said he is sensitive to the perception of troopers being paid more for making more stops. "It's a really sensitive topic," he said for members of the public as well as among troopers. "We've taken the stance that we're not going to incentivize tickets." While no trooper has publicly voiced opposition to the proposed pay-for-performance plan, according to Iverson, who said command staff understood there are troopers who are troubled by the matter.

dence and create jobs, but environmentalists feel it will worsen global warming and cause hazardous oil spills. The president meanwhile said he's concerned about the environmental aspect of the pipeline, describing oil produced from the Canadian deposits as the "dirtiest" on the planet. Bitumen does have to be heated to extract oil from it. The additional energy means about 17 percent more greenhouse gas emissions from well to wheel than other sources. However, as a preliminary environmental report from the State Department notes, stopping the pipeline isn't likely to stop Canadian producers from extracting their crude and getting it to market. In fact, oil from Canadian deposits is already making its way to U.S. refineries by rail car — 4,200 of them per day, according to Canadian regulators. Moving oil by pipeline would require fewer emissions than transport by rail car or truck, Hoeven points out. Rail cars have also spilled more oil in the last year than all previous years on record combined.

KEYSTONE XL NOT A PIPE DREAM YET Hoeven and Heitkamp are both continuing efforts to make the Keystone XL a reality. Hoeven is looking for a bill to attach a new Keystone measure to that would be able to attract the 67 votes needed to override a presidential veto. The previous measure that President Obama vetoed attracted 62 votes.
The next vehicle could be an energy bill, an appropriations measure or the impending highway bill. The latter tends to gather broad bipartisan support, since there are infrastructure projects in every state. "Keystone is infrastructure," Hoeven said, "so it is a very logical fit for the highway bill." Heitkamp, meanwhile, said she is among those pushing the State Department to approve the project. "The good news is the state department has closed the record," she said. "That means that all the information being used to make the decision is already at the state department." Heitkamp expects the decision to be made within the year. "We are pushing very hard to get a decision from the State Department. We'd love it if it was a positive decision. If not, then we will need to re-examine the options here in Congress."

MORE PIPE DREAMS While Keystone has foundered, efforts to build other pipelines to get Canadian crude to market have found their way onto Canadian drawing boards. Kinder Morgan wants to triple the capacity of its existing Trans Mountain Pipeline to carry 690,000 more barrels of oil per day, including Alberta crude. Kinder filed its application for the project Dec. 16, shooting for a 2017 operational date. A lengthy review process awaits, but 73 percent of the expansion would be built on existing right of way. Meanwhile, Enbridge Inc., is proposing to lay a new and larger pipeline
alongside its 46-year-old Line 3. The company believes it won’t require a presidential permit from the U.S. because that project is "restoring" an existing line's capacity. Enbridge is meanwhile also proposing to lay a new pipeline that would not cross the Canadian-U.S. border. The Northern Gateway pipeline would carry 525,000 barrels of oil a day to the Pacific Rim without crossing any U.S. territory. Canadian regulators gave that project a thumbs up on Dec. 19. A final decision is expected sometime in June.

Prices do not include tax & disposal fees.
Heitkamp and Hoeven have both said repeatedly that pipelines are necessary energy infrastructure, along with road and rail, to meet the dynamic and changing needs of the industry. Hoeven contends that Canadian companies have found ways to reduce the energy required to extract their oil — about 30 percent — and he believes that effort will continue. Lower energy demands means a lower price point for producing each barrel of that oil.

education access and support for this growing community.” Under the agreement, University of North Dakota and Williston State College will make it a priority to help those wanting to further their education or workforce training. An open discussion will begin May 28 at a location to be announced soon. At the meeting, Nadolny, along with representatives from WSC and UND, will come together to discuss the training and educational needs of the community and how the schools can meet those needs. "The partnership will provide the opportunity to address growing workforce and infrastructure needs in the Bakken," Nadolny said. The number of jobs posted by Job Service ND in the Williston region have increased 3 percent since January, according to Cindy Sanford, director of Job Service. Job postings by entity are only a fraction of the total, however, as many companies don’t use the agency. Sanford has estimated listings represent only 40 percent of the total jobs available. Many of the job postings
at the job services website seek people with advanced skills and higher education degrees. Unemployment rates in the Bakken region in the past three years have fluctuated from 0.8 to 1.1 percent, Sanford said. There are still many jobs needing to be filled, she added, but without proper training, and certifications or degree programs, the jobs will remain vacant. Williston State College is the only institution within a two-hour radius offering higher education options. These include associates degrees, as well as workforce training through TrainND.

Today in History Today is Monday, March 23, the 82nd day of 2015. There are 283 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On March 23, 1965, America’s first twoperson space mission took place as Gemini 3 blasted off with astronauts Virgil I. Grissom and John W. Young aboard for a nearly 5-hour flight. On this date: In 1775, Patrick Henry delivered an address to the Virginia Provincial Convention in which he is said to have declared, “Give me liberty, or give me death!” In 1806, explorers Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, having reached the Pacific coast, began their journey back east. In 1919, Benito Mussolini founded his Fascist political movement in Milan, Italy. In 1940, the radio program “Truth or Consequences,” hosted by Ralph Edwards, was first broadcast over four CBS radio stations in New York and New England. In 1942, the first Japanese-Americans evacuated by the U.S. Army during World War II arrived at the internment camp in Manzanar, California. In 1983, President Ronald Reagan first proposed developing technology to intercept incoming enemy missiles — an idea that came to be known as the Strategic Defense Initiative.

Solving complex problems with simple solutions Our fast moving society demands simple solutions for complex problems. Even if they are wrong, fast poor solutions, given the proper spin, are accepted more quickly than good thoughtful answers. TACKLING THE OBESITY CRISIS This problem is not being solved with carrots. Therefore, the stick must be applied. We should revamp the income tax so tax is determined by body mass – the greater the mass, the higher the tax. A pain in the pocket book gets immediate attention every time.
Dakota Moments Lloyd Omdahl
SOLVING THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM Even though compromise has become a bad 10-letter word, we need it to deal with the 12 million illegal immigrants. Tell them we will give back Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and lower California, all of which we stole in the Mexican war. Suddenly, most of them would not be immigrants. They would be back in their own country without moving. POVERTY PROGRAM DECLARED A FAILURE Some say we should quit the war President Johnson declared on poverty because the level of poverty has not improved over the past 50 years. We have had national prayer breakfasts for the past 50 years with the same results. Do we quit everything that doesn’t work in 50 years? KEEPING STATES UNITED Counties in California and Colorado have been voting to secede and create their own states. If counties in the Bakken get wind of these movements, they may do the same. The benefits of being a part of North Dakota are diminishing with every million barrels of oil. END SCHOOL LUNCH GRUMBLING The federal government doesn’t want to use tax money to create more obesity so it has prescribed a more healthy diet for the school lunch program. The obesity-bound kids – and their parents - are complaining. If the kids insist on becoming obese, let them bring their own lunch. Stemming the divorce tide In Colorado, an organization called Kids Against Divorce is initiating a ballot measure requiring education classes as a prerequisite for marriage. According to one study, divorce costs taxpayers $112 billion. What would happen to those who flunk the course? Take remedial Marriage 101? From the taxpayer point of view, a better solution would be requiring marriage insurance, with the government as beneficiary. MEDDLING IN HIGHER EDUCATION Before being allowed to introduce a bill meddling in higher education, the sponsoring legislator should be required to recite from memory the section of the state constitution empowering the Board of Higher Education to run the university system. SETTING DATE OF SCHOOL OPENING One of the most contentious issues in North Dakota has to do with the opening date for schools. The 175 day requirement doesn’t fit between Labor Day and Memorial Day. To satisfy everyone, we need to squeeze both ends. We could extend each school day, reduce the amount of learning, add a week in July, abolish vacations, or reduce the school year by five days. You choose. I’m not getting into this one. I’d rather negotiate with North Korea. END BINGE DRINKING IN COLLEGES Students at our institutions would rather fire presidents than forfeit opportunities to binge drink. Whenever a student is charged with drunkenness, a press release should be sent to their local newspapers. We do things in college we would never do in our home towns. HEDGING OIL TURNDOWN Some economists are predicting that oil will drop as low as $20 due to the glut on the market caused by increased production in the United States. If we follow the suggestion to send Texas back to Mexico, it would help solve both the immigration and oil glut problems. For all solutions offered above, I will leave implementation to you. I’m just an idea person. Lloyd Omdahl was the 34th Lieutenant Governor of North Dakota, taking office after Ruth Meiers died in 1987 under Gov. George Sinner was re-elected in 1988. He is also a former political science professor at the University of North Dakota.
Odd news
Iowa mail carrier gets probation for tossing it over bridge BY DAVID PITT ASSOCIATED PRESS
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A former Des Moines mail carrier has been sentenced to a year of probation for throwing 63 pieces of mail off a bridge last May instead of delivering them. Court documents show Shayne L. Lovelady, 29, agreed to plead guilty on Jan. 21 to "desertion of mail." Prosecutors agreed to drop a charge of mail destruction. He was sentenced Thursday. Lovelady was working as a rural mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service delivering mail for the South Des Moines post office on May 19, documents filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Virginia Bruner in federal court in Des Moines said. "Rather than deliver the mail or return the undelivered mail to another postal service employee, Lovelady 'pitched' approximately 63 pieces of various classes of mail over the side of a bridge before returning to South Des Moines Station," documents said. Lovelady was immediately placed on off-duty status then fired July 26, said John Friess, a spokesman for the postal service in an email message.

End the gridlock and confirm Lynch It’s been more than 130 days since President Barack Obama nominated Loretta Lynch to replace U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Although Ms. Lynch is superbly qualified, she needs the support of four Republican senators to become the next attorney general. She can probably garner those votes, but the challenge is to wait for a floor vote in the Senate to confirm her. So what’s the problem? Politicians love the word “clean.” There’s “clean sweep,” “clean break,” “clean start.” Since taking control of the U.S. Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has shown he loves every one of those phrases except the one that is increasingly necessary: a “clean bill.” A “clean bill” has become McConnell’s stumbling block to proving Republicans can take charge and end gridlock. By infusing abortion politics into what was a bipartisan bill, McConnell has created a multi-car pileup so huge that even Republican senators despair anything can get done. Republican Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois told the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call, “My wish is that we hadn’t junked that bill up with abortion politics.” Kirk added that the Republicans should act “as a governing party, always keep bills focused on their main purpose, not link them to the hot social issues of our time.” But McConnell has now taken hostage the confirmation of Loretta Lynch -- unless the Democrats agree to vote for an antiabortion amendment that was slipped into a bill on human trafficking. Democrats appear to have the better argument on a last-minute addition, since they were unanimously agreeing to the passage of the bill prior to its discovery. “I had hoped to turn to (Lynch) next week,” McConnell told CNN. “But if we can’t finish the traffick-
ing bill, she will be put off again. (Democrats) need to come to grips with this.” The provision McConnell wants, acGuest cording to a spokesman Column for Senate Donna Brazile Minority Leader Harry Reid, “dramatically” extends the scope of the current antiabortion provisions in the Hyde Amendment, as well as making them permanent. McConnell said that Lynch’s confirmation was also being held up because of the president’s executive orders on immigration reform. So the delay is for spite as well as a legislative bait and switch. McConnell isn’t even attempting a pretense that his stalling of Lynch’s nomination has anything to do with her qualifications, which are sterling. Instead, it’s about immigration and abortion politics and Republicans having their way by force. The Senate Judiciary Committee confirmed Lynch in a 12-8 vote on Feb. 26. Three Republicans voted for her. One, Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, stated, “The case against her nomination ... essentially ignores her professional career, and focuses solely on (her testimony). I do not believe that is a proper way to evaluate any nominee’s fitness for any position.” Yes, Lynch testified that she is in favor of the president’s executive action on immigration policy to protect 4 million immigrants here illegally and issue work permits. But that shouldn’t be a surprise. It would be more of a surprise if a president’s nominee openly disagreed with him on a policy matter. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.,
the ranking Judiciary member, noted McConnell had allowed a vote on four executive nominations during the debate on the abortion rider, so the argument that the abortion amendment must be taken care of first rings “hollow.” The chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., told reporters, “If McConnell would put this (nomination) on the Senate floor today ... she’d be attorney general by the time the sun set this afternoon.” Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, makes the vital point that there are human rights and national security issues that “require the leadership of the attorney general to set the course and move the process forward.” The National Security Division of Justice has multiple investigations and prosecution of al-Qaeda and domestic terrorists underway. Charges were brought this week against a Russian spy ring in New York City. Plans to capture or kill Jihadi John of ISIS are being formulated. By holding up a nomination to such a critical federal agency, we are playing the old game of chicken. Which side will back down and who will do it first? There’s no reason to use our national security to force upon the country one’s hyperpartisan and hardline views on the federal budget or immigration or abortion rights. This kind of gamesmanship and posturing, especially on the part of those with presidential ambitions, is selfdestructive to our nation’s strength and security. It’s time Sen. McConnell schedule a vote. And it’s time the Senate confirm Loretta Lynch.

Daugther barely speaks to mother Dear Annie: I am a 55-year-old man, divorced for the past 15 years. My daughter is 24 years old and married to a good guy, and they have two lovely boys. Although I have struggled with depression over the years, I try to live a good, honest Christian life. I raised my two children as a single parent, and my ex has become a deadbeat mother. My ex has married several times since our divorce. Each of her subsequent husbands has been an alcoholic or a drug user. My problem is that my daughter and her mother seldom speak or see each other. My ex will see my son on occasion, but not much. She’s the kind of person who cannot admit fault. When my ex was married to one of her drunken drug users, she let him kick my daughter out of their home because she broke curfew once. I can see how much this estrangement hurts my daughter, and I want so much for her to reconcile with her mother. My daughter reaches out to my ex through mail, birthday party invitations and occasional voicemails. Her mother never responds. I recently texted both of them stating that I am sorry for my part in the divorce, hoping it would open up communication. I encouraged them to meet at a neutral location without finding fault in each other and just
spend time together. I feel that a large amount of responsibility has been placed on my shoulders due to my ex’s refusal to be a deAnnie’s cent parent. My question Mailbox is whether or not I should say anymore regarding this. I worry so much for my daughter. -- Dad Dear Dad: Your suggestion to meet in a neutral location is a good one, and we hope they will take you up on it. But please understand that you cannot force your ex-wife to be a better, more caring mother. And there is no way to prevent her behavior from hurting your daughter. What you can do, however, is make sure your daughter knows how much she is loved and valued by her father and others, and that her mother’s lack of affection is not about her -- it’s about Mom’s issues, and only Mom can remedy that. Help her limit the hurt by accepting Mom as she is.
his circle of friends. I say “misfortune” because if Bob cannot see past Joe’s lack of social skills to the person he is underneath, then Bob is the less fortunate person. Joe probably never had anyone in his life teach him the finer points of communication and friendship. For someone with Asperger’s, these traits do not come naturally or through regular interaction with others. These traits, just like reading, math and science, have to be taught. I am the mom of a 22-yearold “Aspie.” My husband and I spent hours teaching our son social skills, and our hard work has paid off tremendously. Our son is still socially awkward and misses some of the finer social cues, but he is flourishing at university and has a diverse circle of friends. If Joe were blind and constantly tripping over Bob’s furniture, I’m sure Bob would not exclude him because of it. Bob could be a real friend and help Joe maneuver through social situations in a positive way. -- A Mom Who Cares
Dear Annie: This letter is in response to “Bob,” who has the “misfortune” of knowing “Joe,” who has Asperger syndrome and is invited everywhere within

CROSSWORD An Wang, a ChineseAmerican computer electronics engineer who was an important contributor to the development of magnetic core memory, said, “Markets change, tastes change, so the companies and the individuals who choose to compete in those markets must change.” Small changes in bridge deals can result in surprising changes in the best play. This week we will look at three pairs of deals and see how minor alterations affect the correct lines of play or defense. In the first two, entries are an important factor. In particular, if declarer is establishing a long suit, he may need an entry to reach the new winners. In this deal, what is South’s dummy entry? How should he play in three no-trump after West leads his heart queen? South’s two-spade rebid forced to game and promised four spades and at least five clubs. North’s rebid guaranteed at least a six-card suit, then South went for the ninetrick game. Declarer starts with seven top tricks: one spade, two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. From where might he get the extra winners? Right -- both minors might do the necessary. But in clubs, declarer will need an unlikely 3-3 break; whereas in diamonds, he requires a likely 3-2 split. However, as you have no doubt noticed, if South plays three rounds of diamonds, he will establish three winners, but will have no way to reach them. Declarer must lose the first diamond trick, not the third. Then his dummy entry is in the diamond suit itself. South cruises home with an overtrick.

FARGO — The West Regional is set. UND will be the No. 1 seed in Fargo's Scheels Arena, taking on Eastern College Athletic Conference champion Quinnipiac in the first round at 7 p.m. Friday night. No. 2 seed Michigan Tech will take on No. 3 seed St. Cloud State in the regional's other semifinal game. UND (27-9-3) enters the weekend on its first twogame losing streak in a year and a half after dropping a pair of games at the National Collegiate Hockey Conference Frozen Faceoff. Quinnipiac (23-11-4) was knocked out of the ECAC playoffs by Harvard. UND will be trying to reach its seventh NCAA Frozen Four in 11 years under coach Dave Hakstol. "We're coming off of a weekend where we got stung a little bit," Hakstol said on the NCAA Selection Show on ESPNU. "It's a great opportunity to get back to work. Our guys are

Quinnipiac. It will be a real exciting week for our guys and our team." The Bobcats, who played for the national champion-
ship two years ago, are led by forwards Sam Anas, Matthew Peca, Travis St. Denis and Landon Smith, a former Denver commit. Anas, last
year's national freshman of the year, was held out of Quinnipiac's ECAC semifinal game against Harvard. "This is a veteran group that has been through this time of year," Hakstol said of Quinnipiac. "They have experience this time of year. (Coach) Rand (Pecknold) does an outstanding job with his group. The players you mentioned are some of the best in the country, but I look at a team that plays through its depth." UND last played Quinnipiac in October 2006. Jonathan Toews had three goals and an assist in a 4-2 win. In the South Bend, Ind., regional, Minnesota StateMankato will take on RIT in the first round, while Omaha plays Harvard in the other game.

Three No. 1 seeds , including unbeaten Kentucky, still alive BY JIM O'CONNELL AP BASKETBALL WRITER
When the NCAA Tournament reaches the Sweet 16, that means there are only 15 games left to decide a national champion. Kentucky needs to win four of those games to become the first undefeated champion since Indiana in 1976. The Wildcats improved to 36-0 — the best start to a season for any team — with a workmanlike win over Cincinnati. Next up in the Midwest Regional semifinal is West Virginia, another

REMATCH REPLAYS: Two of the eight games in the regional semifinals will be rematches from the regular season. UCLA and Gonzaga met on Dec. 13 in Los Angeles, and the then-No. 9 Zags came away with an 87-74 victory.
Kyle Wiltjer scored 24 points and Byron Wesley added 20 points for Gonzaga. Bryce Alford scored 23 points and Isaac Hamilton added 18 for UCLA. Louisville and North Carolina State met in an ACC game on Feb. 14 and the visiting Wolfpack prevailed 74-65. Cat Barber had 21 points for N.C. State, which held Louisville to 33 percent shooting and outscored the Cardinals 32-16 in the paint. "We got dominated at all five positions tonight," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said then.

The ACC is 11-1 with Virginia's loss to Michigan State the only blemish. The Pac-12 is 7-1 following Oregon's loss to top-seeded Wisconsin. Here are some story lines to watch as the Sweet 16 approaches:

team that will come right at Kentucky and try to force turnovers, the Mountaineers' trademark this season. The East Region changed dramatically entering the Sweet 16 with top seeds Villanova and Virginia ousted. It's the first time since 2004 — and eighth time ever — that the top two teams from one region failed to advance to the second week. The Atlantic Coast Conference and Pac-12 entered the round of 32 as the only leagues with three or more teams not to lose a game.

FONTANA, Calif. (AP) — While Kevin Harvick chased Kurt Busch down the stretch in a battle of the best cars in the Fontana field, Brad Keselowski was buried in 17th place — until the yellow flags started flying. A caution for debris allowed Keselowski to move up to sixth. When a second flag went up, he took four new tires while Harvick and Busch got only two. Keselowski burned that extra rubber all the way to Victory Lane. Keselowski roared past Busch on the final lap and held off the streaking Harvick to win at Fontana on Sunday, earning his first NASCAR victory of the season in a wild finish. "I knew (Harvick) and (Busch) had been the class of the weekend and deserved to win on speed," Keselowski said after his 17th career Sprint Cup victory. "Maybe we kind of stole one today." Although their Team Penske Ford led only one lap, Keselowski and crew chief Paul Wolfe concocted a strategy to capitalize on the green-white-checkered finish after a caution for debris prevented Busch from cruising to a probable win. They made up track position under the first yellow flag, and Wolfe then made the winning decision after Kyle Larson's bumper flew off to cause another caution. "Paul made the call to come down pit road and put four tires on, and I said, 'Well, this could either go really good or really bad,'" Keselowski said. "I didn't know which one it was going to be. Some guys stayed out, some guys took two tires, all kinds of different strategies." "On the restart, we were just able to find our way through the lanes and get to the front there and somehow end up in Victory Lane leading the last lap there," he added. "That's kind of a race car driver's dream. This is one we're going to sit back and go, 'Wow,' for a while." Keselowski slipped underneath Busch for the decisive pass, taking full advantage of the California speedway's wide racing surface. He had never finished better than 18th on this track, which he thinks is the best in NASCAR. Although Greg Biffle crashed behind them during that final lap, NASCAR let the field keep racing while Biffle got his car off the track, and Keselowski finished strong. "At the end, we caught some breaks and made the most of the breaks we caught," Keselowski said. Harvick fell just short of a three-race West Coast sweep, but finished second to extend his remarkable streak of top-two Sprint Cup finishes to eight races dating to last season.

Iraq: Years after U.S. invasion seem like unending war for good when American troops withdrew in late 2011. For Iraqis, the various conflicts feel like one long war, which many blame on the United States. A common view is that overthrowing Saddam spurred the explosion of sectarianism that followed when the long-oppressed Shiite majority rose to power. A country beleaguered by foreign invasion and civil war became vulnerable to extremism. Fueled by another civil war in neighboring Syria, that extremism grew into al-Qaida in Iraq and later, morphed into the Islamic State group that is now spreading havoc in several countries across the Arab world. "Obviously, there is a threat that you can trace that shows Daesh emerged because of the invasion," said Sajad Jiyad of the Iraqi Institute for Economic Reform, using another acronym for the Islamic State group. "It's the lack of rule of law, randomness of the violence and brutality that we see on a daily basis today that shocks people." The U.S.-led invasion that began in March 2003 was initially touted as the dawn of a new, democratic era for Iraq. There was the "shockand-awe" campaign; a dictator found hiding in a spider hole; national unity governments; insurgents, militias and retribution; and sectarianism and civil war. More than 500,000 Iraqis were reportedly killed in the eight-year war, while more than 3,500 U.S. soldiers died in combat. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis fled the country during that war. Today, more than 2 million are

Alaa al-Qureishi shows a religious poster honoring his mother, three brothers and a brother-in-law, who were killed in 2006 and 2007, at his house in Baghdad, Iraq, Friday, March 20.

Tell us a little bit about yourself for your introduction:
BAGHDAD (AP) — Alaa al-Qureishi's home is full of ghosts — the photos of dead relatives decorating the walls of every room. In 2006, his mother and brother were killed when the house, in the Sadr City neighborhood of Baghdad, was randomly hit by a rocket. A year later, tragedy struck again when two more brothers and his brother-in-law were killed in sectarian violence at the height of the country's civil war. Today, many of his fellow Shiites are on the front lines battling the extremists of the Islamic State group in what many see as an existential threat to Iraq. But the 37-year-old al-Qureishi is sitting this one out. "Our situation keeps going from bad to worse," he said, his eyes filled with tears, the pain of his loss still fresh. "My family doesn't need any more martyrs." Twelve years after the U.S. invaded Iraq to topple Saddam Hussein and eliminate weapons of mass destruction that were never found, the country is still mired in war. The Islamic State group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, rules more than a third of Iraq. Powerful, often violent, Shiite militias — armed and advised by Iran — are leading the fight against the extremists, propping up Iraq's humiliated military, which crumbled in the face of the militant threat last year. U.S. forces are back, albeit in a non-combat role, thrusting open a door that many had sought to close
displaced from the violence set off by the campaign by the Sunni militants of the Islamic State group to establish a self-declared caliphate. Iraq has staggered economically, despite its oil wealth. The International Monetary Fund forecasts that the economy shrank by 2.75 percent in 2014 — its first contraction since 2003. Na'ma Ali Saleh, a 52-year-old resident of Sadr City, has struggled to keep a steady job since the invasion and believes the country's current crisis makes finding work impossible. "We have hot weather, and half of the time, there is no power or water," he said. "Saddam was a disaster for Iraq, but at least in those days, we only feared one man. Now, we fear many." Nostalgia for life under Saddam is rampant, despite his heinous criminal record that included the hangings of Shiite politicians, unlawful detentions and the disappearance of hundreds of political dissidents, and a massacre of between 50,000 to 100,000 Kurdish Iraqis. "Iraqis are still waiting for a better alternative," Jiyad said. "At least in Saddam's time, there was some semblance of rule of law," he added. "He was violent, but it was targeted." Three of al-Qureishi's late brothers were imprisoned under Saddam, accused of political dissent. But he now believes that was a small price to pay for the relative stability the country once enjoyed. "What's worse? Prison or death?" he asked, visibly distraught. "I may be doing my country a service by fighting in the war against Daesh, but I will do my family a much bigger disservice if I go to fight and die."

The WSC Career Expo showed numerous opportunities for area students.
Great career expectations By Katherine Moore WILLISTON HERALD
WILLISTON — The sky is the limit for North Dakota's young career hopefuls. That was the message for 500 area 10th and 11th grade students from 16 local school districts at the recent 1st annual Northwest Career Expo. Students were given the rare opportunity to ask the hard questions and really dig deep into their interests. The expo hosted 30 different sessions encompassing a variety of different career areas from coaching, farm and ranch, and even game and fish. It was the latter that High School Junior Chelsea Berg, really felt drawn to. "I've always been interested in Farm and Ranch because of where I live, but today I really liked what they had to say about Game and Fish," she said. "This really helped me think about classes that I would be more interested in." One student, set on a
nursing career, quickly realized it no longer appealed to them. The event lit some fires for many of the young students, and most said the only downside was they just did not have enough time to explore everything that interested them. The event is something they will definitely look forward to attending again in the coming year. The student's enthusiasm couldn't outshine the instructor’s during the education session, however. Charysse Everson, a local elementary school teacher, and Denise Bervig, a local secondary teacher, greeted 16 eager-eyed students in their session. The team gave an insider’s perspective on teaching, offering an interactive, hands-on and informative lesson. They emphasized the importance of choosing the right career. "Kids are smart," Bervig told students. "They know when someone is there to just punch a clock."
The pair was able to draw from their own experiences, giving students a real world outlook on their chosen career field. But they, too, were in learning mode. "If I walk in and don't learn something from a child that's a first," Everson said. They laid out the positive and negatives of the career outlook, giving students real-time data about the overwhelming shortage of teachers here in North Dakota as well as information on current teacher pay. The expo was put on in response to a need expressed by area guidance counselors seeking a way for their young students to become more career and college ready. The event was funded with help from a Succeed 2020 grant that the Regional Education (REA) received to help students satisfy with their four-year plan in High School and their future college careers. newsclerk@willistonherald.com
Tax refund advances appeal to more cash-strapped Americans By HOPE YEN Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Cash-strapped Americans anxious for tax refunds are increasingly turning to payment advances, prepaid cards or other costly services when getting tax preparation help, according to new federal data raising concerns among regulators about whether consumers are fully informed about the fees. Regulators are looking
to increase oversight of preparers amid the rise in "refund anticipation checks," a type of cash advance especially popular among low-income families who receive the Earned Income Tax Credit, the government's $65 billion cash benefit program. The advances are being marketed as a way to get fast refunds or defer payment of tax preparation costs. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says some consumers have com-
plaints about refund anticipation checks centered on advertising, quality of service or fees. The bureau is finalizing the first rules on prepaid debit cards, including those for tax refunds, that would require "easy to understand" disclosures upfront about costs and risks. Refund anticipation checks rose to roughly 21.6 million in 2014, up 17 percent from 2011, according to IRS data provided to The Associated Press.

step down how much gas is flared at oil wells until no more than 10 percent of all gas is flared by 2020. At the same time, another order involves oil conditioning, which requires well operators to separate more gas from oil to make it safer for shipping. "From the day we proposed the conditioning order, we said this would be a push in the opposite direction of reducing the flare volume," Helms said. As of April 1, the vapor pressure of all oil that leaves the department's jurisdiction, meaning at the point of sale or transport, must measure no more than 13.7 pounds per square inch of pressure. To get to that number, oil operators will have to sort off the light gases, the propane, butane and pentane that make the oil so volatile and potentially explosive. For the most part, that will be done at the well pad in equipment called a heater-treater and operators are required to use a temperature of 110 degrees to force off those volatile gases.
The good news is that most gas is already being captured in order to meet the state's new flaring rules. Helms reported that, as of Jan. 1, a total of 78 percent of all gas from Bakken wells is captured by processing or pipeline, leaving 22 percent of gas still flared and subject to conditioning. It's also where the "push" comes from, because conditioning will increase the amount of gas produced by about 2 percent, not a huge amount, but still significant, Helms said. These are valuable gases, very marketable, says Helms, but still an issue at the 7 percent of Bakken wells not connected to any natural gas pipeline infrastructure. "That's where we will see the increase in flaring. In the meantime, the flaring order will raise the bar because the flaring reduction is supposed to reach 85 percent capture (by the start of 2016)," Helms said. The combination of the two orders could put downward pressure on well completions. About 850 Bakken wells are drilled but not hydrau-
lically fractured, by far the most in Bakken history. Helms said that's due to the winter season, the continued low price of oil and the need to wait for gas infrastructure, including more compression and processing, to catch up with new wells. "It will take five years to work it (additional gas) out of the system. There's enough infrastructure planned for gas processing to get to 2018, then we will need more," Helms said. "The pressure to achieve that flaring goal doesn't stop until 2020 and conditioning goes on forever." Adding to the challenge is evidence that, as Bakken wells age, the oil deep in the shale reservoir will turn into gas as the pressure declines. Meantime, Helms said everyone in the industry is looking forward to the day when the Industrial Commission rules, along with new railroad safety regulations and those required by the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, all come together. "The rate of incidents should go way down," he said.
Michigan company buys GFK Flight Support By John Hageman Forum News Service
GRAND FORKS — A fixed-base operator at the Grand Forks International Airport was purchased last week by a Michigan-based company. Avflight completed its purchase of GFK Flight Support on Thursday, said the company's president Carl Muhs. The GFK staff will stay in place, he said. "We have essentially come in and taken over the operations from GFK Flight Support," Muhs said. "You have to have the right folks in place, and they certainly have them there in Grand Forks." Fixed-based operators offer air charter, aircraft fueling, maintenance and flight training.
