BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Wyoming company is pre-paring to resume oil ship-ments through a pipeline that broke and spewed 30,000 gallons of crude into Mon-tana's Yellowstone River, even as most of the spilled oil remains unrecovered.

Cleanup is on hold near the small city of Glendive, where the water supply for 6,000 residents was tempo-rarily contaminated.

Efforts to remove oil from the Yellowstone will resume after it's clear of ice and safe to work on, said a spokesman for Bridger Pipeline LLC, the company responsible for the spill. But

prospects were considered slim for much more crude to be recovered so long after the spill.

The Casper, Wyoming company began restarting a 50-mile section of the pipe-line that runs south of the spill site to Baker, Montana on Wednesday, spokesman Bill Salvin said.

Workers also have been setting up equipment to drill a new passage for the line deeper beneath the river, under an order from federal regulators.

The line carries oil from the Bakken region of Montana and North Da-kota. The damaged section was installed in 1967, in an 8-foot-deep trench dug into

the river bottom, according to documents submitted to regulators. It became ex-posed over the past several years - through flooding, scouring of the river bottom by ice or some other force - and broke open in January.

After Glendive's water was contaminated, when oil got into a supply intake in the river, filters were installed to screen out any petroleum products. No problems with the water have been re-ported since the initial days after the accident.

It was the second signifi-cant oil pipeline spill into the Yellowstone in less than four years, prompting Mon-tana officials including Gov. Steve Bullock and U.S. Sen.

Jon Tester to call for more stringent federal oversight of the nation's aging pipe-line network.

The Legislature is consider-ing a measure requiring the state to release to the public information about pipeline depths around the state. The Department of Environmen-tal Quality also would have to publish online details on the commodities being trans-ported and the closest shut-off valves to a river.

The bill from Senate Majority Leader Matthew Rosendale, a Glendive Re-publican, cleared the Senate last month on votes of 50-0 and 48-2.

Pam Sharp, director of the state Office of Management and Budget, listens during Wednesday's state Advisory Council on Revenue Forecasting meeting at the state Capitol in Bismarck. To the left is state Tax Commissioner Ryan Rauschenberger.

BY NICK SMITHBISMARCK TRIBUNE

BISMARCK — With a week to go before the release of an updated North Dakota revenue forecast, a work-ing budget group was still trying to determine the final numbers to plug into its for-mula during a Wednesday meeting at the Capitol.

The state Advisory Coun-cil on Revenue Forecasting, a group through the state Office of Management and Budget, met Wednesday with a major focus of dis-cussion on oil tax revenue.

Kathy Strombeck, head analyst at the state tax department, said the group agreed on using projections on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) for oil prices as a base in its forecast. NYMEX is project-ing West Texas Intermedi-ate, a U.S. benchmark for oil prices, to be just shy of $60 by December 2015 and

be approximately $66.50 by December 2017.

“I think we’re probably go-ing to stick with 1.1 million barrels per day as an aver-age,” Strombeck said.

The WTI price doesn’t fac-tor in the discounted price of North Dakota crude, cur-rently at about $8 to $9 per barrel, according to indus-try leaders.

The WTI price was at just under $48.50 per barrel on Wednesday; it’s been near the $50 level for several weeks.

Group members said it was prudent to plan the bud-get with the assumption that the oil tax triggers would both kick in.

“We’ve got a huge struc-tural problem in the future. I’d rather we err on the side of being cautious,” Rep. Al Carlson, R-Fargo, said.

Oil shipments to resume in Yellowstone pipeline

BY JERRY BURNESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — A public hearing to discuss turning the Trinity Christian foot-ball field into commercial development was taken off the city commission agenda Tuesday at the request of project leaders.

Developer Michael Nigh said his party needed to consult with their attorney after a covenant agreement was brought to the fore-front, prohibiting commer-cial property on the site.

On recommendation from the city attorney, City Plan-ner Donald Kress said it would be inappropriate for the city to approve the zone change because the cov-enant agreement exists.

The proposed project, Trinity Plaza, requested a plat and zone change to C3: restricted, low-intensity commercial use. Planning and zoning gave no recom-mendation on the project after it returned a 2-2 vote with three commissioners absent, Kress said.

Residents near the field expressed concerns with flooding and property values if Trinity Christian School were to move and a commercial development were left in its place.

Phyllis Owan, a represen-tative from Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, said when the church sold the land to Trinity, it was agreed that it would remain a football field, but that section wasn't recorded into the agreement and not binding.

"The agreement doesn't necessarily prohibit com-mercial development," Owan said, reading off a letter from an attorney. "It wasn't in there."

Kress said the agreement with Good Shepherd was separate from the covenant agreement.

Nigh said he was aware of the restrictions, but said sev-eral amendments were made over the years, and wanted to discuss things with their attorney before moving for-ward with the city commis-sion approval process.

"We sought legal coun-sel," Nigh said. "That's the reason to ask for this to be tabled tonight, so we are able to present viable op-tions."

WILLISTON — If there's been a silver lining to the drop in oil prices, it may have been most apparent Wednesday during the first day of a two-day job fair at the Grand Williston.

The fair continues today from 2 to 7 p.m. at the Grand Williston. The first hour is for veterans, after which the event opens to the general public. It is free to job seek-ers, who will find hundreds of jobs in a wide variety of sectors available.

While oilfield workers who have been laid off and newcomers hoping for entry level oilfield jobs may be a little disappointed in the offerings, many of the hu-

man resource directors at the event were glad to have a chance to attract applicants with more qualifications than they've been used to seeing.

"This is our first job fair, and it was sensational," said Diana Laris, Human Resources director with E & M Services, LLC. "It was a little overwhelming due to the number of applicants, but it's good ot have a pool, especially when you are a young company."

They offer roustabout services, salting, hydrovac and a wide variety of other oilfield-related services. A relative newcomer to the Bakken, they started up in 2011 in Watford City. They opened an office in Sidney

three years ago, then added a consulting office in Williston about two and a half years ago. More recently, they opened a shop here which is now about a year old.

COO John Fetzer said the company had collected about 50 resumes and talked to perhaps another 45 to 60 people.

"I am excited to see that many people come through," Fetzer said. "For all the companies here, the difficult part is finding the more qualified people. I don't know if I should say it, but oil prices going down may have helped us find more qualified people."

Fetzer also appreciated that veterans had first crack at the jobs, getting an hour

to come through first. Job Service North Dakota em-ployees estimated about 60 veterans took advantage of that.

"It was definitely nice in the beginning, for the vet-erans to come through first, that was awesome," he said. "Then at 3 p.m., the flood gates opened …"

Job Service North Dakota employees estimated there were about 200 people wait-ing in line for the fair to open to the public.

"It's been busier this time than in other years," Sandy Long said. She is with McCody Concrete. "We're seeing a lot of people in here who have been laid off.

Ruth was born on Dec. 15, 1920 to Emile and Inga (Christenson) Erickson on their family homestead about 7 miles south of Gre-nora. Ruth attended local country schools for 8 years in both North Dakota and Montana. The family farm was located right on the border of the two states.

When the country school closed in North Dakota, she went to school down the road in Montana.

In 1939, Ruth married Arthur Lauckner, then of Medicine Lake. In 1940, they pur-chased the George Ulmar farm homestead about 10 miles north of Nashua, Montana.

There they had three children, Junette, David and Bonnie.

Arthur passed away in 1958 and Ruth later married Wilbur Bauer of Nashua, they had a son, Milton. Ruth enjoyed the country life and after the farm was rented out, she and Wilbur continued to spend many summers out on the farm. Ruth and Wilbur moved to

Williston in 2002, where they have lived since.

Ruth loved flowers, gar-dening, baking, cooking and speaking Norwegian.

Ruth is survived by her husband, Wilbur of Willis-ton, one daughter, Junette Dalke of Billings, Montana, two sons, David and his wife, Cynthia Lauckner of Golden Valley, MN and Milton Bauer of Willis-ton, 6 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren and one sister, Frances Pot-ter of Tacoma, WA along with numerous nieces and nephews.

House Majority Leader Al Carlson, R-Fargo, second from right, was critical of the projected revenue fore-cast presented by Dan White with Moody's Analytics, via speaker phone, during Wednesday's Advisory Council on Revenue Forecasting at the state Capitol in Bismarck. On the far left is Lt.Gov. Drew Wrigley, Jeff Delzer, chair of the House Appropriations Committee, second from left, and Lynn Helms, director of North Dakota’s Department of Mineral Resources

BUDGET: ‘Still the shadow of low oil prices’FROM PAGE A1

economist with Moody’s Analytics, said the state’s economy may slow a bit, but should recover eventually when oil prices recover.

“There’s still the shadow of low oil prices,” White said.

Until next week’s forecast arrives, the Legislature has been using a January forecast from North Dakota Legislative Council. The January forecast projected oil and gas tax revenue for the 2015-17 biennium to be at about $4.27 billion, down from $8.32 billion projected

in December. A reduction in general fund revenues for 2015-17 of $550 million was also projected.

The January estimate was based on oil prices between $45 and $65 per barrel and 1.2 million barrels per day in production for 2015-17.

A pair of oil tax triggers that could lead to a loss of bil-lions in revenue was factored into the January forecast.

Lawmakers have been prioritizing items in agency budgets and considering building in contingencies in the event oil prices rebound and the triggers don’t hit

during the biennium.Strombeck said other fac-

tors, including the number of drilling rigs operating in the state and how that trick-les down into employment and sales tax revenue, will also impact the forecast.

There were 112 active drilling rigs in the state as of Wednesday, down more than 50 from last summer. Industry experts and state regulators have estimated that 120 to 125 rigs are needed to maintain the cur-rent production level, which was at just over 1.2 million barrels per day in December.

JOB FAIR: Hiring ‘like fishing’ for businessesFROM PAGE A1

It's been busier, and we are probably seeing more of the qualified people we are look-ing for this time around."

McCody had a diversity of positions available, from mechanics and truck driv-ers to concrete finishers and accounts payable positions and even a few housekeep-ing jobs.

"It's all related to con-crete," Geoff Kemp said. "Even the housekeeping jobs. We've had a good re-

sponse in all areas."The drop in oil prices is

difficult to quantify as far as effects on a company like McCody Concrete, Kemp said. "We've gone from what was an insane rate of growth to a very … it's a rate that still exceeds the normal rate of growth," he said. "It's not insane now, but it's still very good. Oil's not going away. Prices have decreased, but oil is a commodity. It will be back."

On the other hand, some vendors did not find many applicants in the sector they wanted. Jerry Jobczynski, service manager for Ford Motors out of Minot had 15 jobs for mechanics, but few

qualified applicants. "It's like fishing," he said,

"If you don't go, you don't know what you might find."

He planned to return today to continue taking ap-plications.

ONEOK, among the hand-ful of companies in the oil sector that attended the job fair, had several openings available, and was one of the busier tables. Wayne Armenta, director of work-force development, fielded many questions about a plant operator position.

"Many job seekers are look-ing for entry level positions," he said, "but most of the time pipeline operators are look-ing for candidates with more technological training."

Among the hopefuls who picked up applications from ONEOK were a group of young men from Ghana, West Africa. Two of them have enrolled in Williston State College's Petroleum Engi-neering program. The other works at a hotel for the time being, until he can obtain the employment he wants.

rjean@willistonherald.com

CITY COMMISSION NOTES• $13 million was approved

for water and sewer im-provements near the site of the new high school and National Guard post.

• The city removed discus-sion on well pad policy from the agenda. Klug said after discussions with oil compa-

nies and the planning depart-ment, the city will develop a general policy for one-on-one negotiation, dealing mainly with road issues. He said the policy would be available after the final form is developed.

• The city approved an easement with Montana-Da-kota Utilities for power lines. Klug called it an important project and Williston "won't

have half the city without power anymore" when MDU completes its project.

• Approved public works projects included an ad-ditional $200,000 for phased LED street light improve-ments, bringing the total cost up to $375,000. About $300,000 was approved for street striping improve-ments and $450,000 was

approved for irrigation or landscaping on 26th Street near Pheasant Run, and the 18th Street underpass.

For Williston native Mike Liudahl, "it's all about the adventure rather than any sense of security."

At the age of 45, still a few years away from drawing So-cial Security, Liudahl has decided the time is now to venture out to the Land of Paradise.

That decision will take him to the Big Island of Hawaii, a place he will "view this move as a form of early retirement."

"I will be living in a place that I love, while doing something I enjoy on a daily basis."

The move allows him to continue with his skill as a professional window washer, being employed by the Kohala Window Clean-ing company.

You can learn more about his employer by visiting http://kohalawindowclean-ing.com/.

"My journalistic train-ing will definitely become another layer to that, as I made my own opportunity to get this chance in Hawaii and won't stop making more in other facets."

Liudahl admits, "while everybody has a story to tell, I really embrace mine being out of the ordinary."

Having met up with Liu-dahl many years back, we can attest to that statement.

We learned that after meeting with the owner of his new company at the In-ternational Window Clean-ers Association in Arizona just last month, Liudahl was "hired on the spot."

Liudahl credits his new position to, "networking, thinking outside the box and taking risks."

He quickly added, "with that said, it's much easier for a single guy with noth-ing to lose to do this."

Although he worked as an insurance/investment sales-man twice during the past 20 years, he always ended up going back to window cleaning.

"I do value my education in other areas, but there is something to be said for providing a service that very few would find all that intriguing," said Liudahl.

He credits Mike Keller of Mike's Window Cleaning in Williston and his brother Matt, allowing him to appre-ciate "it for all that is."

"It was an absolute plea-sure to help both of them grow their businesses."

BEGINS IN DICKINSONIt was in Dickinson where

Matt started his business as a DSU Bluehawk in 1998, with Mike joining him there in 2000.

"My takeover there soon allowed him to establish in Bismarck where he has been ever since," said Mike.

"I then moved to Bismarck in 2004 to help push Mr. Squeegee toward one of the top two window cleaning companies in North Da-kota."

That company, which Mike considers to be No. 1, can be found at www.mrsqueegeend.com.

Regardless, "it's been a good run, but the opportu-nity to keep doing the same thing on a Pacific island is a dream come true."

He went on to say, "after the ultimate challenge of writing news on an island already I feel primed to do it again purely for the enjoyment of it, while radio opportunities would be welcomed as well. Anything is possible these days if you want to get yourself noticed through the Internet."

Now, before we get too far along, this calls for another story.

RURAL ROOTSPerhaps at this point, it's

best to take you back to the beginning.

"First and foremost I was very grateful to have grown up in rural Williston," re-called Mike.

"As a second-grader I ended up being one of the last few who can claim they were a student in one room that contained all eight grades. I spent my first to elementary years at Palmer School and the setting wasn't all that much differ-ent than what we all saw on the Little House On The Prairie TV series."

That led to his first and second-grade years playing a large role in shaping "me, who I became."

Mike pointed to some tough love with his "mouth getting washed out with soap by Mrs. Peterson seemed to happen weekly and she eventually chose to place all of our second-grad-er's desks into refrigerator boxes so that we would no longer disturb the other eight grades."

"At least an open flap was cut into the cardboard for us to open and view the chalkboard."

One can fast forward to high school where his transition was "made easier through my dedication to FFA where I eventually became Chapter President and was awarded the Star Chapter Farmer distinction toward the conclusion of my senior year."

"Much thanks to voca-tional ag instructor Greg Thompson for helping me achieve that."

JOINS AIR FORCEIt was shortly after gradu-

ation from Williston High School and another summer on the Keybirds American Legion baseball roster, he joined the U.S. Air Force.

"They sent me to Ramstein Air Base where I worked in supply," said Mike.

That proved to be a great opportunity as, "I happened to be there when the Berlin Wall came down."

He continued, "a few of us

drove over there a year later to attend an NFL pre-season game between the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs at the Olympic stadium where Jesse Owens broke records to Hitler's dismay."

Mike and his friends got their hands on a few chunks of concrete from the wall before leaving town.

It was there he was able to partake in Oktoberfest, the biggest party ever, but his trips to Paris, Venice and Copenhagen "weren't far behind."

He now wishes he "would have chosen to finish out my enlistment there, but ended up completing it at Ells-worth AFB in Rapid City, South Dakota."

However, that move "seemed fitting though, since I was born there, while my dad was stationed at the same base.

RETURNS HOMEFollowing his stint in the

Air Force Mike returned home, eager to cash in on the GI Bill at what then was known as the University of North Dakota-Williston.

During this time he even spent some time working with us in the sports depart-ment at the Herald.

"I had a blast briefly working with you and Chris (Kirchmeier) at the sports desk during that time," said Mike.

He stuck to the books and eventually earned both an AA and AS at UND-W, in preparation for transfer-ring to North Dakota State University.

"Although I probably had way more fun than anybody should have ever been al-lowed to during the mid-90s, I somehow walked through with a University Studies degree in 1997."

That led him to say, "I'm one of those guys who prefers to minor in every-thing rather than major in anything."

MIKE AT THE MIKEAlong with everything

else, Mike found himself in the broadcast booth for KLTC out of Dickinson from 2002-2004 bringing high school football, basket-ball and baseball games to listeners from various sites throughout that region.

Following that, he was given the opportunity to do color for the University of Minnesota Duluth football and basketball during the 2004-2005 season.

BACK TO NDSUWhile being away from the

college scene for a period of time, Mike found himself, "compelled to head back to NDSU for a second chance at completing a Journalism degree."

It was what he termed, "coincidentally, my return came at the beginning of NDSU football's run at four consecutive national titles."

While back at NDSU he pursued another love, call-ing play-by-play over radio airwaves.

"It was an absolute pleasure to cover the Bison via radio play-by-play on the campus station," added Mike.

That led to road trips, taking him to places such as the University of Northern Iowa, South Dakota State University, Kansas State and Frisco, Texas.

"All were a privilege as I really enjoyed putting on the headset for an emerging basketball program as well."

NOW OFF TO FIJISetting the radio aside,

Mike capped off his NDSU degree by studying abroad at the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji, "which couldn't have been more rewarding."

"I watched a lot of rugby there and am now a lifelong fan of the Flying Fijian Sevens Rugby team. They are always one of the best in the world."

Adapting to another culture proved to be tough enough, without him trying to figure out what it takes to be a news writer in a place

like Fiji at the same time."Without a doubt, that was

the most challenging semes-ter I have ever endured," said Mike.

He capped that by saying, "outside of that I totally embraced island life and even considered overstaying my visa on one of Fiji's 330 outer islands. I really miss everything about it and am always trying to find a way to visit it again."

ALONG THE WAYAlong with everything

else, Mike has a number of special events that really standout.

Leading the way was his attending Kirby Puckett's Hall of Fame induction in Cooperstown back in 2002.

He considers that to be on the top of his list, but "calling the game at Kansas State with the likes of Joey Harrington doing television for FOX Sports One in the booth right next to me is

close to that level as well."Mike added, "winning

that game the way they did may have done more for the NDSU program than any other its illustrious history."

Another memorable expe-rience for Mike was calling the football game in 2012 title game in Frisco, "from a makeshift platform on the concourse."

There's nothing like try-ing to keep your composure with an entire section of belligerent Sam Houston fans constantly screaming at you face-to-face."

For Mike, he was thankful "they all began to leave early in the second half when the blowout win had begun to take place. What a treat that was."

Now it's time to turn an-other page.

"It's been a good run, but the opportunity to keep doing the same thing on a Pacific island is a dream come true. After the ulti-mate challenge of writing news on an island already I feel primed to do it again purely for the enjoyment of it, while radio opportunities would be welcome as well," concluded Mike.

BISON IN DANCEWhile we have been talk-

ing NDSU sports it's only fitting to send out a Scope Salute to the men's bas-ketball team on a Summit League championship with a win over South Dakota State University Tuesday night.

That win advances the Bison to the "Big Dance," being a part of March Mad-ness for the second year in a row, with a new coach at the helm.

March 12, 2015 OpinionOpinionToday in History

WICKCOMMUNICATIONS

Today is Thursday, March 12, the 71st day of 2015. There are 294 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On March 12, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered the first of his 30 radio addresses that came to be known as “fireside chats,” telling Ameri-cans what was being done to deal with the na-tion’s economic crisis.

On this date:In 1912, the Girl

Scouts of the USA had its beginnings as Juliette Gordon Low of Savannah, Georgia, founded the first Ameri-can troop of the Girl Guides.

In 1925, Chinese revo-lutionary leader Sun Yat-sen died.

In 1938, the Anschluss merging Austria with Nazi Germany took place as German forces crossed the border be-tween the two countries.

In 1940, Finland and the Soviet Union concluded an armistice during World War II. (Fighting between the two countries flared again the following year.)

In 1955, legendary jazz musician Charlie “Bird” Parker died in New York at age 34.

In 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson won the New Hampshire Democratic primary, but Sen. Eugene McCar-thy of Minnesota placed a strong second.

In 1985, conductor Eugene Ormandy, direc-tor of the Philadelphia Orchestra for more than four decades, died at age 85.

Free speech is so often punished

A4

Sweet Land of Liberty

NatHentoff

I wonder what our founders would have thought of this:Last fall, FIRE (the Foundation for Individual Rights in

Education) mailed warning letters to more than 300 public colleges and universities that maintain unconstitutional speech codes ... explaining that their in-stitution could be sued if it continued to ignore legal obligations under the First Amendment” (“Students Sue Dixie State U. Over ‘Free Speech Zone,’ Censorship of Bush, Obama, Che Flyers,” thefire.org, March 4).

I continue to be concerned with increas-ing the protection of free speech -- not only in colleges and universities -- because I don’t want subsequent generations to become fearful of using this fundamental right of all Americans.

FIRE is the only organization ceaselessly working to keep free speech alive on cam-puses, from which many of our future vot-ers, legislators and teachers will emerge.

Currently, the group is at work on a law-suit filed by students at Dixie State Universi-ty in St. George, Utah, which you may never have heard of.

“The lawsuit alleges that Dixie State re-fused to approve promotional flyers produced by the Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) student group that featured images negatively portraying Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and Cuban revolutionary Che Gue-vara.”

Why? “Because school policy does not permit students to ‘dis-

parage’ or ‘mock’ individuals.”Greg Lukianoff, the president of FIRE, rails against “the

university’s ridiculous policies, which go so far as to forbid any poster in a residence hall that students or administra-tors claim creates an ‘uncomfortable’ environment.”

This in the land of the free and the home of the brave?But, thankfully, with the assistance of FIRE, unyieldingly

patriotic students like William Jergins are fighting for free speech at Dixie State. He declares:

“A true education demands that students be able to hear ideas different from their own. That is why respecting free speech on campus is so important and why we are standing up to get rid of Dixie State’s speech codes.

“By maintaining these codes, the Dixie State administra-tion limits the ideas we hear, the thoughts we consider -- and our learning experiences suffer because of it.”

So does the quality of the rest of their citizenship.Meanwhile, FIRE took “a closer look at the previous

year’s incidents of college censorship to determine the na-tion’s 10 worst abusers of student and faculty free speech rights” (“FIRE Announces 10 Worst Colleges for Free Speech in 2014,” thefire.org, March 2).

Among these notorious defilers of the First Amendment are:

Brandeis University (already cited in previous columns of mine); California State University, Fullerton; Chicago State University; University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; University of Iowa; Marquette University; Modesto Junior College (Modesto, California).

There ought to be a special award of shame for a “college that stopped a student from distributing Constitutions on Constitution Day and then punished professors who came to his defense.”

That school was the aforementioned Modesto Junior Col-lege.

FIRE should not be alone in its invaluable public service of fact-finding and pursuing litigation to bring the First Amendment back to college campuses.

The media, in its various forms, should occasionally take a look at thefire.org and read the group’s press releases.

So, too, should those relatively few state and federal legis-lators familiar with the Constitution.

Now that more colleges and universities that ban free speech are becoming known, what action, if any, should the students’ parents -- who believe tuition must include First Amendment rights -- take?

How many of the 2016 candidates for president are likely to mention the forced disappearance of the First Amend-ment from college campuses?

I very much hope that FIRE starts to cover the First Amendment at high schools as well as middle and elemen-tary schools and works to protect its existence at these institutions.

Some elementary students can think and read on their own. I know a few.

In the meantime, it’s wonderful to see students like those at Dixie State take to the courts to rescue the First Amend-ment. They’re becoming our educators.

Odd newsMan rolls in dog waste to try avoiding arrest

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) — Police say a Pennsylvania man dropped to the ground and rolled around in dog waste to avoid being arrested for public drunkenness, but he was taken into custody anyway.

Police in Wilkes-Barre tell the Times Leader officers came upon 45-year-old Maurice Franklin early Monday night after he jumped into traffic. They believed he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

They say he slurred his words and at first claimed he was walking erratically to avoid stepping in the dog feces on the sidewalk.

But when officers tried to arrest him, police say he lay down in the waste and told authorities they couldn't arrest him because he was covered in feces.

Years before big technol-ogy companies like Google and Facebook began talking about using balloons, drones and cellphones to provide Internet access to billions of people in developing coun-tries, leaders like President Bill Clinton were talking about bridging the "global digital divide." And while progress has been made in recent years, most of the world's 7.2 billion people still do not have access to the Internet.

The good news is that most of humanity now lives within reach of wireless networks. About half of the world's population, or 3.6 billion people, had cellphone service last year, up from 2.3 billion people in 2008. And one-third of all people used mobile networks to connect to the Internet last year. Two main forces have made this possible: rising incomes in developing countries and cheaper wireless devices and service.

The most important thing world leaders can do to make the Internet available to more people is to pursue faster and more equitable economic growth. At the same time, improving access itself can help economies grow by making knowledge more widely available. There are numerous private efforts underway that aim to make Internet access universal.

Google is working on

Project Loon, which uses a constellation of giant bal-loons to beam down wire-less signals in the Southern Hemisphere. This will be most useful to people living in remote areas without terrestrial cellular net-works. And Facebook has introduced Internet.org, which provides people in some countries, like Kenya, Colombia and India, with access to limited text-based content on their cellphones at no cost; Facebook and searches on Google would be included. The company seems to think that this will encourage some people who are already using cellphones to create a Facebook profile and consider paying for data plans by giving them their first taste of social network-ing and the Internet.

The big gains will come only when governments do more to increase invest-ments in telecommunica-tions directly or by encour-aging private companies to build networks. The most certain way to do that is to foster competition by, for example, selling wireless frequencies to many dif-ferent companies. This has been happening in places like India.

Other countries, includ-ing those in the European Union, have helped to spur Internet adoption by requir-ing telecom companies to share cables and other

equipment with one anoth-er. Of course, many domi-nant state-owned or private phone companies will resist policies intended to encour-age competition.

Making the Internet useful will require more than just equipment and networks. Many pages on the web are available only in English or a few other widely spoken languages like French and Mandarin, while billions do not speak those languages. Companies like Google and Facebook have invested in providing their sites in many lan-guages and have offered free translation tools.

The World Wide Web Con-sortium, which is made up of universities, businesses, government agencies and other groups, is also trying to make the Web usable in more languages by making sure Internet formats and proto-cols work in different scripts. Governments and businesses should help those efforts by publishing educational, health and other information in more languages.

Bridging the digital divide is not quite as daunting as it once seemed. But neither is progress moving fast enough to allow billions of people to use a commu-nications system that has become indispensable to the modern economy.

POINT MARION, Pa. (AP) — State police say a man has thrown a "Jesus" vanity license plate at his older brother during a fight in Pennsylvania, cutting him badly enough to require treatment by paramedics.

Forty-five-year-old James Wiles, of Springhill Township, is charged with simple assault and harassment over the argument with his 47-year-old brother on Feb. 24.

Police say Wiles' brother was cut by the plate's sharp edge.A preliminary hearing on the charges is scheduled for

March 31. A district judge in Fayette County will determine then whether Wiles will stand trial.

COMMUNITY HAPPENINGS

Dear Annie: My sister and I traveled independently to Nebraska in order to care for our mother after she was hospitalized. We were there for two months, taking turns sleeping on an air mattress by her bed. Mom finally was well enough to travel back to my home so I could care for her here.

During the time we spent in Nebraska, my sister and I went through Mom’s apart-ment, getting rid of things and sorting through pictures and other stuff. The second night that I slept by Mom’s bedside, my sister suggested I stay there and she’d sleep on the sofa. I agreed because I trusted her. My mistake.

While I was in Mom’s bedroom, my sister went through Mom’s stuff, put things she wanted into boxes and sealed them. When I noticed the new boxes, she said she had just rearranged things to fit better. I’m pretty sure she took several pic-tures that I wanted, along with a few other items. She denies this and says I don’t know what I am talking about. I have no way to prove what she did, but those items have never turned up, and it’s been two years.

Mom passed away recently, and now I have to see my sister at Mom’s memorial service. She’s going to act like nothing happened. I am so hurt by what she did. How can I not scream out what a

liar she is? -- Still Angry

Dear An-gry: Our condolences on your loss. A memorial service is not the best place to confront your sister, who will deny your accusations in any event.

You could snub her, being polite and friendly to others but decidedly cool to her. You also could simply ask her, “When you get a chance, could you please send me copies of any photographs of Mom that you have? I miss her.” And leave it at that.

Dear Annie: After 20 years overseas with the military, my husband and I are being sent home. This means his family members will be close by.

I can’t stand his family. They are rude, arrogant know-it-alls. My husband assures me it will be fine, and he is excited to see these people. I say a leopard never changes its spots. These people barely tolerated me when I first met them. Please advise me what to do about this. -- Not a Spotted Leopard

Dear Leopard: It’s been 20 years. Surely you have changed in that time. Why wouldn’t they? You might

discover that they have changed just enough that you can find common ground. These people are important to your husband. Instead of approaching this with dread, please open yourself up to the possibility that it will be better than you think. And if not, do what many others in your situation do: let your husband see them without you. But give it your best shot. Your husband will ap-preciate it.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Sinking Ship in Pennsylvania,” whose hus-band neglects or yells at their 8-year-old son.

I was the oldest of five, with an alcoholic, abusive father who was in the military and spent most of his time overseas. And when he was home, he spent it either in a bar or with a local barmaid. I always knew he didn’t want me. I’ve spent my life being treated like a second-class son to my brother and sisters then and now.

If this father also thinks no one outside of the family sees how badly he is treat-ing his wife and child, he is out of his mind, because you cannot hide this. One of these days, “Jack” will suddenly turn on him, back him into a corner and unleash all of his anger on him, telling him how worthless he thinks he has been as a father. I know, because that’s what I did. -- Been There Done That

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t take what others say too seriously. Keep in mind that everyone has bad days. You may happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Focus on posi-tive gains.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You’re on your way up, so keep the momentum flow-ing. Do something that will make you think and bring you added wisdom. An unex-pected someone will help you further your goals.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Offer your help. Bend over backward in order to feel good about what you have done. Rewards will head

your way. Financial opportu-nities are apparent, but don’t take a risk.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Deal with an emotionally fraught situation that is dis-rupting your personal life. Your eloquent way of han-dling such matters will help you resolve the problem so that you can move forward.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Take a chance and push to get ahead professionally and financially. If you use your skills more diversely, your talents will be recognized and put to good use.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You’ll have a brilliant idea that will help you get ahead with a project that you’ve wanted to spend more time developing. A social event will lead you to someone who will prove motivational.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Difficulties will develop if you are critical. Don’t get into a senseless argument. Stay cool, do your own thing and don’t judge the ones you work with or love.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you talk to as many people as possible, you’ll realize

how valuable you are and how much you have to offer. Take pride in your accom-plishments and celebrate with someone special.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Deal with personal paperwork that’s piled up. You cannot offer help to others if you can’t take care of your own busi-ness. Check out a tax break that encourages saving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- It’s time to deal with an ongoing situation that has been bugging you. If someone isn’t treating you properly, speak up or make changes that will alleviate the problem.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Work behind the scenes if you want to make headway. The more you do without interference from others, the better. Progress should be your aim, not pon-tification.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You’ll be dedicated, loyal and ready to take on a leadership position. An opportunity you’ve been waiting for will happen if you pursue it with relentless courage.

Hurt by sister’s actions after mom’s death

Annie’s Mailbox

Dame Margaret Drabble, Lady Holroyd, an English novelist, biographer and crit-ic, said, “Why can’t people be both flexible and efficient?”

Bridge players who are flex-ible in their thinking tend to be efficient. Look at the North hand in this deal. North opened one club, and South responded one heart. What should North have rebid?

There is no call that perfect-ly describes that North hand. Four clubs would be great if it indicated three-card heart support, but it requires four cards in partner’s major. Still, it is a possible choice.

North is far too strong to rebid three clubs (although that might work out well here). My choice would be three no-trump. This shows a hand too strong for a three-club rebid; typically 18 or 19 high-card points, six-plus excellent clubs, stoppers in the unbid suits and often a singleton in responder’s suit. (This last factor is the bid’s main minus.)

After three no-trump, South will want to ask for aces -- yet another problem! But if South can learn that his partner has three aces, he will jump to seven hearts, confident that he can make it by establishing dummy’s club suit.

At the table I watched this deal being played, North re-bid two no-trump, indicating a balanced 18 or 19 points. South used Gerber twice (bid-ding four clubs and five clubs) to ask for aces and kings, then signed off in six no-trump. True, he could count only 12 tricks (two spades, six hearts, two diamonds and two clubs), but he should have taken a shot at seven hearts. That contract surely would have had some play -- and dummy would have been a pleasant surprise.

Will Ferrell to appear in 5 Arizona spring training games

The Williston State Col-lege baseball team opened the 2015 spring season last weekend on a rough note.

The Tetons dropped four games to Northeastern Junior College in Sterling,. Colo.

On Saturday, the Tetons dropped a twin bill 1-0 and 3-1.

In the opener, Williston State College pitcher Tan-ner Rogen allowed two hits on 71 pitches in a complete-game loss.

In the nightcap, Skyler Sylvester pitched 5 2/3 innings on 101 pitches. He allowed three runs on hits and two walks.

Jarrod Adams had two hits in the game, including a RBI double.

On Sunday, the Tetons were swept in a double-header, losing 4-0 and 4-3.

In the opener, Aaron Ron-quillo finished 2-for-3 at the plate for the Tetons.

In the nightcap, the Wil-liston State bats came alive with three runs on eight hits, but allowed the game-winning run to score on a fielder’s choice.

PHOENIX (AP) — Will Ferrell plans to play ball in spring training — and play ball and play ball and play ball. The comedian plans to play every posi-tion while making appear-ances at five Arizona spring training games on Thursday. He will play for all 10 teams involved, HBO and Major League Baseball announced Wednesday.

The star of “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Bur-gundy,” ‘’Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” and “Elf,” among other movies, will travel to the Phoenix suburbs of Mesa, Tempe, Scottsdale, Glendale and Peoria via helicopter.

State berth on the line tonight

SHANNON SCOTT | WILLISTON HERALD

New Town’s Elijah Grady goes up for a shot during Tuesday night’s Class B Region 8 tournament semifinal contest against Kenmare. The Eagles will face Parshall this evening for the Region 8 title.

New Town, Parshall play for Region 8 championshipBY MARK JONESWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — And it all comes down to one game.

The Parshall Braves and New Town Eagles are more than familiar with each other.

The two District 15 rivals will square off this eve-ning for the Region 8 cham-pionship, and with it a berth in next week’s Class B state tournament.

Parshall most recently handed New Town a 52-45 loss on March 2 in the District 15 tournament title game.

Behind the play of seniors Darryl and Elijah Grady, the Eagles are looking to repeat as region champions.

The Eagles are looking to become the first team since Watford City (2008 and 2009) to repeat as region champi-ons.

New Town also won the region in 2011.

“We’ve been here before,’ said New Town coach Robert White. “It feels no different.”

The Braves haven’t made it

to the region title game since 2007 when they went on to win the state title.

Parshall also won the re-gion championship in 2006.

The Braves have multiple ways of beating their op-ponent.

Point guard Justin Roberts scored 25 points in Tuesday night’s win over Watford City, while 6-foot-3 sopho-more Deyondre Simpson can play multiple positions.

The Braves also have 6-foot-5 post player Monte Good Bird that requires a lot of effort.

For New Town, it all cen-ters around the Grady twins.

The Grady brothers com-bined to score 37 points in Tuesday night’s win over Kenmare.

Free throw shooting could play a factor this evening. Parshall hit 18-of-25 attempts in its semifinal win, while New Town was just 11-of-28 in its win over Kenmare.

In the third-place game, Kenmare and Watford City will look to end their sea-sons with a win.

“They’ve worked their tails off these last two games,” said Watford City coach Randy Cranston of Kenmare.

GIRLS BASKETBALL

Finalists for Miss Basketball are namedBY CHRIS AARHUSFOR THE WILLISTON HERALD

Four have been chosen as finalists for the annual Miss Basketball Award.

Hannah Stewart and Gabrielle Bohl, both of Class B state cham-pion Bishop Ryan, join Fargo Davies’ Alexis Klabo and Lakota-Edmore’s Fallyn Freije as this season’s candidates for the senior-only award, presented by the North Dakota Associated Press Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association.

The award will be announced live on television after the conclu-sion of the Class A state champi-onship game Saturday night at the Fargodome.

Bohl, a 6-foot-2 forward, had per-game averages of 21 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.9 steals. She has 1,925 career points, earning all-state honors the past two seasons and helping the Lions win three consecutive state championships. She has committed to the University of Mary.

The 6-foot Freije averaged 25.3 points, 13.2 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 2.4 blocks per

game for the Raiders, who placed fifth at the state tournament. The senior forward finished her career with 2,511 points and 1,312 rebounds, and has been a first-team all-

state selection since her freshman campaign. She will play basketball for the University of North Dakota next season.

Klabo, a 6-foot-2 forward, led Class A in scoring with 25.5 points per game. She added 8.8 rebounds and 2.8 blocks. Klabo was first-team all-state as a junior and has led the East Region runner-up Eagles to back-to-back state tournaments. She is headed to the University of North Dakota for basketball.

Stewart, a 6-foot-3 forward, aver-aged 19.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 5.7

steals, 4.6 blocks and 4.3 assists per game. A three-time state-tournament MVP and all-state since her freshman year, Stewart has 2,520 points and 1,394 rebounds in her five-year prep career. She has committed to the University of Iowa.

Last year’s Miss Basketball Award went to Paige Peterson of Jamestown.

The biggest violation has been hunting or fishing without a licenseEvery year the North

Dakota Game and Fish Department

provides a report on the number of citations issued by state game wardens the previous year.

The statistics for 2014, recently published in the February 2015 issue of North Dako-ta Outdoors magazine, carry some not-so-positive news: Game wardens cited a re-cord number of anglers, hunters and others with violations in 2014.

The grand total of 2,712, was up nearly 300 from the number of violations in 2013.

The number one viola-tion for the past few years has been fishing or hunt-ing without a license, and closely related, fishing or hunting without having the license “on your person.”

The numbers also show that McKenzie County again led the state in the number of citations. Williams, Stark, Ramsey and Burleigh coun-ties rounded out the top five.

By law, North Dakota game wardens enforce all state laws on property that the De-partment owns or manages like wildlife management areas, and also on state sov-ereign land. Game wardens are licensed peace officers and they are also often called upon to assist other law enforcement agencies as well. Here’s a listing of the Game and Fish violations summary for 2014.

Ice on the Yellowstone has hampered cleanup efforts from day one, and only about 10 percent of the oil released into the river has been re-

covered. Two workers have been monitoring the river downstream of the spill for evidence of oil, Salvin said. It's been several weeks since significant cleanup work has occurred.

An application from

Bridger Pipeline for a state license for the drilling work is pending with the Montana Department of Natural Re-sources and Conservation, said agency spokesman John Grassy.

The company wants to

install the replacement sec-tion at least 40 feet beneath the river bed, according to documents provided to The Associated Press.

A final decision on the li-cense was expected soon.

A second license will be

needed for Bridger to re-move the damaged pipeline, Grassy said.

Rosendale said he was satisfied with the company's plans and the amount of cov-erage for the pipeline.

The cause of the spill re-

mains under investigation by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, said agency spokesman Damon Hill.

Steve Buscemi stars as Nucky Thompson in a season five episode of “Boardwalk Empire.” HBO

BY ANICK JESDANUNAP TECHNOLOGY WRITER

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — In less than a month, people in the U.S. will be able to subscribe to HBO without a cable or satellite TV sub-scription. The stand-alone HBO Now streaming service unveiled this week will de-but in time for the April 12 season premiere of "Game of Thrones."

HBO and ESPN have long been cited as a chief reason people keep their pay-TV bundles, amid a growing practice of "cord cutting." But last month, Dish started making ESPN available as part of a $20-a-month online television package called Sling TV. Now, HBO will offer its movies and shows over the Internet for $15 a month.

Thus far, people who want to watch HBO but don't have a cable or satellite contract have had to borrow friends' or parents' passwords to access HBO's streaming ser-vice, HBO Go. Now, they can subscribe and clear their conscience. But HBO says it doesn't believe the online-only offering will accelerate cord cutting. Rather, HBO is

targeting the 80 million U.S. homes that don't already have HBO. That includes some 10 million broadband-only homes — not just cord cutters, but the younger "cord nevers" who have never subscribed to tradi-tional TV.

Here are some things to know before you rush out to cancel your service:

A BARGAIN?HBO is bucking the trend

by charging $15 a month. Net-flix, Hulu Plus and other ma-jor online video services cost less than $10 each. As part of pay-TV packages, HBO starts at $10 through Comcast and Time Warner Cable. Many providers include HBO for free as part of promotions for pricier packages.

So consider this: If you want both HBO and ESPN, you're paying $35 a month without a cable package. Figure that the price of your Internet access will go up by $20 when it's unshackled from a TV bundle. You'll have to gauge this against how much you pay now for Internet access and your cable or satellite package that includes hundreds of channels.

NOW VS GOHBO Now isn't the same

as regular HBO. The pay-TV version gives you about 20 traditional channels, includ-ing ones in Spanish, and entitles you to the HBO Go streaming app. HBO Now won't have the traditional channels, but you can watch new episodes of shows in real time, just as you can on HBO Go.

Both Now and Go will have a similar library of movies and shows available through their apps. That includes past and current seasons of HBO shows, along with hundreds of movies, including those from Universal, Fox, Warner Bros. and Summit. (Time Warner Inc. owns both HBO and Warner Bros.)

Differences will mostly be on the back end: Apple Inc. — not the pay-TV provider — is handling HBO Now billing, at least initially. Major League Baseball, which has a robust stream-ing network to deliver its games online, will handle the technical aspects. MLB's involvement means the user interface on Now will

differ from Go, which HBO handles in-house.

HBO also owns the Cin-emax channel, but that's not part of either offering.

SIGNING UPThe service is available

in the U.S. only. Apple has a three-month exclusivity deal with HBO. During that time, people can sign up only through an Apple TV streaming device or HBO Now's app on iPhones and iPads. Macs aren't eligible. Apple will pull credit card information directly from its iTunes service, so cus-tomers won't have to fill out screens of forms. After sub-scribing, customers are free to watch on Android and Windows devices through a Web browser.

HBO plans to expand to other devices after the three months are up.

HBO is offering the first month free, and there's no minimum commitment. So after "Games of Thrones" is over for the season, fans can cancel until the next season. HBO is counting on people staying after discov-ering other shows available through the app.

3 things to know about HBO’s streaming service

BY JILL LAWLESSASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON (AP) — An off-set altercation has imper-iled the internationally known TV car show "Top Gear," one of the BBC's most lucrative productions.

BBC News said Wednes-day the broadcaster has postponed the three remain-ing episodes after suspend-ing host Jeremy Clarkson over a reported "fracas" with a producer. The BBC hasn't given details about the incident, but co-host James May characterized it as "a bit of a dustup."

"But I don't think it's that serious," he added.

The blend of car news, humor and blokey banter in "Top Gear" has won it legions of fans.

The current series was launched simultaneously in more than 50 countries and the BBC has sold the format for locally produced versions in the U.S., China, Russia, Australia and South Korea.

It has also attracted controversy, much of it at-tached to 54-year-old Clark-son, one of three presenters and a self-styled enemy of "political correctness."

In October, the "Top Gear" crew was forced to flee Argentina after facing

violent protests for alleg-edly referencing the 1982 Falkland Islands war on a license plate.

Clarkson also asked for forgiveness last year after allegedly using the racist n-word during filming for the show. He said then had been given a "final warning" by producers.

In 2011, the BBC apolo-gized to Mexico after Clarkson and his co-hosts characterized Mexicans as lazy and oafish.

Fans clamored Wednesday for Clarkson's return.

The government's former culture minister, Conserva-tive lawmaker Maria Miller, called the TV personality a "legend," and said the BBC "needs to be better at man-aging its talent."

"There are other organiza-tions that have to deal with larger-than-life characters," she said.

Prime Minister David Cameron called Clarkson a friend and a "huge talent," and said his children would be "heartbroken if 'Top Gear' is taken off air."

Even as reporters and photographers camped outside Clarkson's home, he emerged joking, saying he was on his way to Britain's unemployment office.

"I'm just off to the job center," he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Robert Redford will receive Lincoln Center's 42nd annual Chap-lin Award from his "The Way We Were" co-star, Barbra Streisand.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center announced Wednesday that Redford will receive the award at an April 27 gala. Joining Streisand as presenters are Jane Fonda,

John Turturro and "All Is Lost" director J.C. Chandor.

Redford also will be cel-ebrated with a seven-film tribute. The Film Society will screen his "Butch Cas-sidy and the Sundance Kid," ''The Candidate," ''Jeremiah Johnson," ''Ordinary People" ''Quiz Show," ''Three Days of the Condor" and "The Way We Were.”

Future of BBC’s hit ‘Top Gear’ uncertain

Streisand to present Redford the Chaplin Award
