BISMARCK — House lawmakers voted 57-32 Monday to eliminate price-based oil tax breaks and set a lower tax on oil extraction, sending the last-minute bill to the Senate today where conten-tious debate is expected to continue.

House Bill 1476, introduced on Friday, would eliminate the so-called large trigger exemption on the oil extraction tax, which supporters say would add predictability to oil tax revenues and the industry’s tax structure.

The bill’s fiscal note estimates that eliminating the large trigger, which is projected to take effect June 1, would add an estimated $120 million in state revenue in 2015-17.

But the bill’s long-term impacts to state rev-enue are unclear, which is what much debate

centered around Monday as legislators discussed the bill for several hours in committee and later on the House floor.

Rep. Mary Schneider, D-Fargo, was among several House members raising concerns about the bill’s late introduction on Day 70 of the 80-day session. She called for further study before mov-ing the bill forward.

“We don’t want this bill to turn out to be our great North Dakota giveaway of our one-time natural resource,” Schneider said.

Rep. Craig Headland, R-Montpelier, chairman of the House Finance and Taxation Committee, said the Legislature has been discussing elimi-nating the triggers in the oil extraction tax in favor of a stable tax for several sessions.

“This is far from jumping the gun,” said Head-land, whose committee gave the bill a 10-4 do-pass

recommendation.The bill would permanently reduce the oil

extraction tax from 6.5 percent to 4.5 percent, but only if the large trigger takes effect. North Dako-ta’s 5 percent gross production tax would remain the same, resulting in an overall tax reduction from 11.5 percent to 9.5 percent.

Under current law, if oil prices stay as low as they have for the past three months, the large trigger would lower the extraction tax from 6.5 percent to 4 percent for existing wells and exempts new wells entirely for 24 months. The latest state revenue forecast released in March predicts the trigger will be in effect from June through April 2016, reducing oil tax revenues by an estimated $863 million.

WILLISTON — A flock of fast casual and other middle tier restaurants have landed recently to a warm Williston welcome. Among the most recent of the fast causal arrivals are Qdoba and Culver's.

They join a rapidly grow-ing field of other new eating options such as Buffalo Wild Wings, Famous Dave's Fud-drucker's, Outlaw Steak-house, Williston Brewing, Mississippi BBQ, Deli To Go, Papa Murphy's, Papa Johns and the soon to open Little Caesars in the Bad-lands Town Center.

The owners of the fast casuals say the primary

reason they're here is the market is now meeting their demographic requirements.

Mike Kelly is director of operations for Qdoba. "We have a very successful Applebee’s in that market," he said, "so we knew what kind of sales volume that market can support."

Qdoba opened March 4 to what Kelly described as a very successful opening.

"We had big expectations, so it's doing exactly what we thought it would do," he said.

They haven't noticed any effect from low oil prices, but did notice when Culver's opened.

"There was a slight decline, but it's still meet-ing our expectations," Kelly

said. "We can be successful in any market we go into. Even if oil kind of goes away a little bit, I think overall it will stay strong in that market."

Some of the principals involved in Food Manage-ment Investment today were in the group that opened Hardee’s back in the 70s, Kelly said, although they do not now own an interest in that particular business.

“Hardee's is still function-ing in the market," Kelly said. "So I think, even if oil goes away a little bit, the community is strong enough to support these kind of restaurants."

Qdoba located next to another fast-casual option, Smiling Moose Deli, which opened in 2014. The store's owner, Liza McClean, also did the required demograph-ic study.

HOUSTON — Convention-al wisdom holds that come June a pending $5.3 billion tax break in the No. 2 U.S. oil producing state, com-bined with a modest uptick in oil prices, will unleash a tsunami of new shale crude supply so big that prices may slump again.

Just one problem with that scenario: oil produc-ers say this is not going to happen.

The fear of a worsening supply glut, a recurring theme of many industry research reports and con-ferences over the past two months, is based on a view that U.S. shale producers have built up a heavy back-log of drilled but uncom-pleted wells (DUCs) that can be turned on quickly.

The assumption is that oil firms will finish work on those wells, known as "ducks" in the industry jar-gon, once oil prices recover further and North Dakota activates its tax relief in response to a long market slump.

Crude prices are up so far 13 percent this month, but still almost 50 percent below mid-2014 highs after a long slide.

"You know you have an 800-pound gorilla that is po-tentially going to come after you if the price (of oil) goes up," Jackson Hockley, an analyst at wealth manager Northern Trust recently told clients in Houston about such fears.

Yet oil companies say nei-

ther the tax break nor the recent uptick in oil prices, which they regard as unpre-dictable in the short-term, will have much of an impact on their plans.

For instance, Greg Hill, president of Hess Corp, the No. 3 producer in North Dakota, told Reuters the expected tax relief was "not material" for the company.

An analysis of data on "wells in progress" also sug-gests bearish analysts may have seriously overstated their production potential.

DROP IN A BARRELData on such wells from

the 22 largest U.S. explora-tion and production compa-nies crunched by research firm Bernstein show there are fewer than 400 wells on which companies have intentionally delayed work to conserve cash and wait out the price slump.

Those 400 wells would only add 60,000 to 80,000 bar-rels of production per day to global supply, Bernstein estimated.

In relative terms, that would represent less than 1 percent of U.S. daily supply and less than 0.1 percent of global daily output. It would also be just 5 percent of present oversupply, esti-mated at 1.6 million barrels per day, based on data from public agencies.

The U.S. onshore industry has been completing about 12,000 wells a year for the last three years, and the number of wells in progress

New restaurants receive warm Williston welcome

"Definitely more fam-ily oriented resturaunts, like TGI Fridays and Olive Garden. Also, car washes that offer a detailing service. Back at home I can pull his truck into a car wash, pay $30 , and it come out clean top to bottom out the other side."

"We need more shopping! More options for clothing, so maybe more boutiques. Maybe even a Target, we NEED a Target!"

"I moved here 11 years ago and I paid $350 for an apart-ment on University and now that same apartment rents for $3,250. I'm a county employee and I don't make oilfield money. I would like to move my family here but first we need cheaper housing"

"Cheaper housing; It's almost not worth it to come here be-cause of just how expensive the housing is. More people need to come together and demand some sort of regulation on the rental prices. I'm not sure how appetizing it is to outsiders to come here if that's what they're getting confronted with."

WILLISTON — It is the third annual event for the March of Dimes walk in Williston, and its or-ganizers are cooking up something special to boost participation for this and future events.

Bowls for Babies is com-ing to the Williston March of Dimes, an additional fundraiser that will tie into an event later in the fall. The extra event is being funded by the American Petroleum Institute's Wil-liston chapter.

You don't have to walk in the event to help with the bowl-painting party, which will take place after the walk for babies concludes. The bowls will be fired and glazed in the summer and return for an event later in

the year. The plan is for area chefs

to fill the bowls with end-less food for a donation of $20. The purchased bowls can then be kept for a me-mento.

Ken Callahan, chairman of the March of Dimes walk, said they haven't chosen the date yet for the return of the bowls, but they hope to coordinate with another event.

"We have such great chefs in Williston," Callahan said. "The opportunities are endless. We hope this will bring more awareness to people about the event and the March of Dimes."

Callahan said they are also pleased to welcome Mercy Medical and Great Plains Women's Center this year as a key spon-sor. Mercy Medical has just opened an expanded

women's clinic, adding a new doctor to the staff, and putting ultrasound services under the same roof.

March of Dimes raises money for research to promote healthy births. Collectively, its researchers have won 13 Nobel prizes and nationwide they are the largest provider of free neonatal education.

Some of the proceeds from the local event will be used for programs such as NICU, which provides support specialists to help families in the neo-inten-sive care unit.

Shaleena Layton, who is walking in the event with the Oilfield Wives of Wil-liston, said she is walking in the event to support that very program.

"My son was born at 25 weeks and spent four and one-half months in the NICU in Salt Lake. So I have experienced part of what March of Dimes is for. While we were in the NICU there was March of Dimes stuff everywhere, so I grew to appreciate what they do, and I'd like to give back and help someone else who needs it."

Registration for the March of Dimes Walk starts at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Williston Area Recre-ational Center, 822 18th St. E. The walk will begin at 10 a.m., after which there will be refreshments and bowl painting.

Although the walk is Saturday, it is not too late to start a team. Call Callahan at 701-770-5030 for details.

Callahan has been involved in the March of Dimes for about 15 years, and knows firsthand the importance behind the research funded by the or-ganization, whose research-ers have won a total of 13 Nobel prizes.

Callahan's best friend, a coach in Billings at the time, had a baby who was born prematurely.

"When it hits home, you realize that the kids really struggle at that age," he said. "And it means more to you than if someone just calls you and asks you to do-nate to some organization."

John W. ‘Sarge’ DrangeMay 8, 1979 - April 16, 2015

Drange

John W. “Sarge” Drange, 35, of Williston , passed away Thursday afternoon, April 16, 2015, on Lake Saka-kawea the result of a Kayak accident.

His funeral will be cele-brated Thursday afternoon, April 23, at 2 p.m. at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Wil-liston. Rev. Kay Reeb will officiate and interment will follow in Hillside Memory Gardens.

John was born in Willis-ton on May 8, 1979 to John and Debi Drange. Upon his graduation from Williston High School in 1998, John enlisted in the U.S. Army. A dedicated soldier, Sgt. Drange served two tours of duty in Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, earning numerous awards and commendations. After a brief break in service, he joined the North Dakota Army National Guard in 2008 as a member of the For-ward Support Company of the 164th engineer Battalion out of Minot.

Through his time in ser-vice, John was able to travel and experience many differ-ent parts of his country and the world, which contribut-ed greatly to his thoughtful, open, and curious demeanor. He loved being a soldier, and

he trea-sured the friendships and rela-tionships formed with his soldier brothers and sis-ters. At the time of his death, John was em-ployed as a hydrovac operator for C Company in Williston.

John was a totally unique individual; compelled to treat others with kindness and respect. A man of strong principles, he was unwilling to compromise his integrity. John had a smile that lit up every room he entered. He loved his family above all else, and more than anything he looked forward to someday sharing his love with a fam-ily of his own.

In many ways, through his friends from the military work, and a life spent in Williston, he had a larger family than most of us can claim. Simply put, if you were John’s friend you were, without pause or hesitation, family. John was an avid

fisherman, a lifelong student of karate, a talented musi-cian, a gifted singer and an active pursuer of adventure and new experiences.

Grateful for having shared his life and love are his be-loved mother Debi Drange, of Williston; his brother Larry (Hollie) Drange of Newport, Washington; his sister Michelle (Matthew) Gustin of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; his brother Wade (Erin) Drange of Williston, his nephew Timothy Drange, his niece Harper Gustin, and treasured friend Pau “Paula” Cristina of Peru.

John was preceded in death by his father, John A. Drange; his younger broth-er, Dean Michael Drange; his maternal grandparents, T. Wallace and Dorothy Huf-ford; and his paternal grand-mother Cecillia Johnson.

Friends may visit www.eversoncoughlin.com to share remembrances of John or leave condolences for his family. Friends may call at the Everson-Coughlin Funeral Home on Wednes-day from 9:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. and at the church on Thursday for the hour pre-ceding the funeral service.

The Everson-Coughlin Funeral Home of Williston is caring for the family.

Dianne Chase will be laid to rest near her mother and father in the cemetery at Fairview, Montana.

Friends and family are invited to a gathering in her honor from 3 to 8 p.m. Friday, April 24.

Dianne Gudrun Chase died peacefully at Hopsice House in Spokane on April 20.

Headland said if that trigger stays in effect even longer, legislators will come back next biennium and face making massive cuts to water projects, education and property tax relief.

Three Affiliated Tribes Chairman Mark Fox testi-fied against the bill, but also said that the current triggers are archaic and should be changed.

Fox told legislators that if they approve the bill as introduced, tribal leaders would have to seriously consider breaking the oil tax sharing agreement with the state. Tribal leaders plan to continue pushing for amendments today in the Senate.

The reservation, in the heart of the Bakken, ac-counts for about 30 percent of the state’s oil produc-tion.

“If they withdraw from this compact, I’m not sure

what will happen with the industry and the state of North Dakota,” said Minor-ity Leader Rep. Kenton Onstad, D-Parshall.

The bill, which has a Senate committee hearing today at 2 p.m., appears to have majority support in the Senate, as well.

Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner, R-Dickinson, said Senate GOP caucus members voted 29-3 before the bill was introduced Fri-day morning to support the concept. He said perhaps three of those members had a soft stance on the issue, which would still leave 26 senators in support – enough to pass the bill in the 47-member Senate.

Rep. Bob Skarphol, R-Tioga, said during House debate he agrees that the trigger needs to be elimi-nated, but he prefers a gradual decrease in the oil extraction tax rather than a sudden 2 percent drop.

“I don’t understand the

urgency. If there was an appropriate way to do this, it should have taken place some time back and been much more thoroughly dis-cussed,” Skarphol said.

North Dakota Petroleum Council President Ron Ness gave neutral testimony to the bill, but suggested amendments that would reduce the oil extraction tax to 4 percent regard-less of whether the trigger takes effect. Committee members did not entertain his amendments.

Wardner testified that incentivizing the oil indus-try spurs other revenue growth, including sales tax and personal income tax.

“The bottom line is, what’s good for North Dakota? A lower tax rate at a level pace will keep the whole economy going,” Wardner said. “It stabilizes the economy.”

Scoping It Out

Thomas A.Kvamme

If you're looking for things to do, the remain-der of this week offers some great opportuni-ties.

You will have every-thing from concerts to pitching in to help with the citywide clean-up ef-fort.

It's always nice in a small town where folks who you run into at a concert are the same folks who will be out there putting on gloves and getting things done in the community.

First up, we want to alert you about a special concert set for 7 p.m. on Wednesday over at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Williston.

The public is invited to attend and be a part of the audience as Dave Anderson, a Lutheran pastor's son, will be on hand.

We have learned Dave has been singing full-time since 1974, in states such as Min-nesota, South Dakota and Wisconsin and, along with his wife Barb, has presented 5,250 concerts all over the world.

Now is your opportunity to add one more outing to that impressive total.

According to Dave, it is es-timated the couple has flown at least one million miles, while driving some two mil-lion miles during a period of nearly 36 years on the road.

The couple will be joined by Roger Walck, a skilled

vocalist, guitarist and a wor-ship team leader.

Reportedly Walck taught theology at Orange Luther-an High School in Orange, California, while also spend-ing time leading Spanish-language worship in various Orange County churches.

You will be able to enjoy an evening as Dave and Roger's music is considered to be a blend of contemporary, gos-pel, hymns and "lots of old-time Sunday school songs."

According to Dave, "the audience will be invited to sing along, but so long as it's the same song."

Now that could be a prob-lem, but don't look for that to happen.

SURVIVAL STORYAlong with the concert,

Wednesday night also will be an opportunity to listen to first-hand details from Dave, about surviving a plane crash in the Bering Sea.

This happened on the way home from a mission trip to Russia.

Now to hear that alone would be worth attending the event.

Officials note that "no one who crashed in these icy waters had ever survived."

Just to hear complete details about this outing will be chilling.

Here's your opportunity to be entertained and educated at the same time.

Should you have any advance questions on the evening call (701) 572-2667.

This sounds like one you don't want to miss.

LIMELITERS HEREWilliston Concert Associa-

tion members are getting

excited about the event set for 7:30 p.m. Thursday over at the Williston High School Auditorium.

You see, those members are going to be sitting back, while enjoying a great concert to be presented by a group known as the The Limeliters.

Before we get too far along, we should tell you members of The Limeliters will offer an Outreach program to area high school students at 10 a.m. on Friday.

This is a group that offers American folk music, giving audience members a chance to enjoy some great sounds.

Officials tell us this group was first formed in July of 1959, and was active the first time around until 1965.

After being out of circula-tion for 16 years, the group reunited and began per-forming as The Limeliters, now being billed in reunion tours.

However, one of the mem-bers has passed on, with an-other opting for retirement.

That led Lou Gottlieb to carry on, fresh from obtain-ing his PhD in musicology.

He happened to be in the audience when Alex Has-silev and Glenn Yarbrough performed a duet on stage.

That led to Gottlieb, who at that time was working as an arranger for The Kings-ton Trio, thinking these two could help with some demos for the Trio.

JOIN THE FUNIt wasn't long after that

the new friends packed their bags and headed to Aspen, Colorado, to work at a club that was called The Limelite.

One thing led to another

and before long the group came up with the current name, The Limeliters.

Now, for some 50 years, The Limeliters have per-formed for standing-room only crowds.

Current members of the group include Gaylan Tay-lor, Andy Corwin and Don Marovich.

Reportedly they continue the tradition of surging vo-cals, thrilling harmony and the whacked-out sense of humor that the trio has been known for.

Now if that isn't enough info for you to make plans to be in attendance Thursday night, something is wrong.

You should also know on Thursday night that mem-bers will learn some exciting news about the upcoming 70th anniversary season.

In case we hadn't told you, the WCA is by membership only.

However, you can pick up your membership at the door to join in the fun and not be left out.

CLEAN THE CITYTime has come for you to

set aside a few hours and pitch in to make your com-munity a much cleaner place for residents and guests.

With Band Day just around the corner, this is the time of year to get out and spruce things up a bit.

That's where you are needed to make it happen.

You are invited to be a part of the solution, serving as a role model for others.

The annual City-wide Clean-up is set for Saturday.

Volunteers are to gather at the Aafedt Stadium parking lot at 8:30 a.m. and you will

be instructed from there.Garbage bags, gloves,

along with vests and garbage pickup will be provided.

Here's a great way to get out for a morning walk, while reaching down and doing your part.

You can do this as a busi-ness, family, coffee group or any organization.

Hey, nothing says you can't come out on your own.

It should be pointed out a free lunch for volunteers is set for noon back at David-son Park.

Anyone needing additional information can click on www.cleanwilliston.com.

MORE FUN EVENTSA quick glance at the

calendar tells us the an-nual Teton Athletics Casino Night is on tap for Friday over at The Well on the campus of Williston State College.

All money raised on this night, along with the funds from the annual truck raffle, goes to help support and maintain athletic programs at WSC.

Meanwhile, the Williston Area Builders Association will be presenting its fifth annual Home and Garden Show over at the Raymond Family Community Center.

This looks to be shaping up to be a busy week, with a lot of great events planned.

TWINS IMPROVEAbout the time we say

something good about the Minnesota Twins they will go into another tailspin.

But, being a positive person, one can only hope under the direction of Hall of Famer Paul Molitor his

influence will rub off and it will be full-steam ahead.

Things need to fall into place and a little luck goes a long way.

For now all we can do is enjoy one game at a time and hope by July 4 they are still in contention.

If not, it makes for a very long season.

Hey, somebody has to win and it might as well be the Twins.

Whenever there is a worst to first story, folks get excited.

It has been done before and there's no reason it can't happen once again.

We say, play ball and let the chips falls where they may.

HOW ABOUT VIKESWhile summer hasn't even

arrived yet, media attention continues to dominate the Minnesota Vikings camp with Adrian Peterson's sta-tus still up in the air.

Although he has been re-instated by the National Football League, Peterson re-mains strong with his stance not to play for the Vikings.

As this continues to grab headlines, the NFL Draft is only a few days away, with the Vikings holding an 11th-round draft.

One can only wonder if a major trade will take place on draft day?

Time will get this all straightened out, but for now, Peterson is still a mem-ber of the Vikings.

CRUDE SUPPLY: Completion at a slower paceFROM PAGE A1

normally hovers just under 3,500.

Lately that number has risen to under 4,000 and some analysts have taken that figure as representing the looming supply over-hang rather than the 400 well marginal increase in the backlog that Bernstein has focused on.

Furthermore, the North Dakota tax relief not only applies to just one, albeit crucial oil region, but also pales compared with drill-ers' overall expenses. For example, completion costs make 60 percent or more of a well's total cost of around $6 million.

Jim Volker, chief executive of Whiting Petroleum Corp , North Dakota's largest oil producer, told Reuters the pending tax break would only trim its expenses by 4 percent.

And even large companies, such as EOG Resources, which earlier this year sharply curbed fracking and let the number of uncom-pleted wells rise, are unlike-ly to simply flood the market once oil prices creep higher.

Such moves to build a "war chest" of wells are part of a strategy to bring them online slowly - not quickly - through 2016 as prices re-cover, an approach outlined by RBC Capital Markets analyst Scott Hanold in a

recent report.It would be also difficult

both financially and logisti-cally to complete unfinished wells within just a month or so, producers say.

Hess, Whiting and other firms say they need to keep

on completing wells, albeit at a slower pace, if only to maintain existing relation-ships with Halliburton Co, Schlumberger and other oilfield service companies that do the actual work of fracking wells.

Opened in 2013, Buffalo Wild Wings was one of the first of the new fast casual restaurants.

FAST CASUAL: Staffing locations not an issueFROM PAGE A1

Williston passed with fly-ing colors. In fact, McClean says the store has been the most enjoyable thing she's ever done, and she'd do it all over again. Business is go-ing very well. There's been no slowdown for her.

"We have a lot of catering clients who use us weekly and biweekly," she said. "That's been a lot of fun to build relationships and part-nerships in the community."

She's also happy Qdoba located next door.

"It's great for both busi-nesses," she said. "We are so different than anyone that is town, so I'm not concerned. I'm happy to see other fast casual restaurants opening up."

The owners of Culver's say they, too, are meeting or exceeding expectations for this market. On opening day they served more than 1,300 people, and they've already developed a couple dozen regulars. People in the Wil-liston market seem to be a hungrier lot, too, according to the company's franchis-ing helpers.

"They were in town the first two weeks and could not believe the amount of double and triple burg-ers and meals period that we sell versus snack pack options," co-owner Rob Woodling said. Snack packs were more common in the market he came from. "People in Williston like their meat, their cheese and their bacon. And they love their cheese curds."

The affordability of the

menu is part of what's driv-ing their success, his wife and partner Casandra Wood-ling believes. "The main thing is, there is a town of, depends on who you talk to for population of 40,000 people, and there's a need for quick service restau-rants like us," she said.

Rob Woodling recalled a husband and wife order-ing for the first time at the restaurant. "The wife looked at her husband when we told her how much it was and said, 'Omigosh that's the cheapest meal we've had in a month.'"

Qdoba, Culver's and Smil-ing Moose owners all said they had no trouble staffing their business.

"You just have to use all your resources and think outside the box," Rob Wood-ling said.

Among those resources was North Dakota Job Services. "They were great," Rob Woodling said. "We had more than 100 applications in our first two weeks. A lot of things went into that, of course. Our work started months before we ever stepped foot in Williston."

"We were shooting for 30 people and ended up with 25," Kelly said. "We didn't do anything special really. We were just diligent about it. We had an online service for applications, and we used North Dakota Job Services and some signage."

"I have been very lucky to have an awesome staff," Mc-Clean said. "In the Bakken, your labor costs and rent are higher, but I'm lucky, and it's been a blast so far."

The companies say their employees aren't coming from oil-related jobs neces-sarily.

"It was mostly dependents, wives or children of people who work in the oil indus-try," Kelly said.

Today is Tuesday, April 21, the 111th day of 2015. There are 254 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On April 21, 1975, with Communist forces clos-ing in, South Vietnam-ese President Nguyen Van Thieu resigned after nearly ten years in office and fled the country.

On this date:

In 1789, John Adams was sworn in as the first vice president of the United States.

In 1836, an army of Texans led by Sam Houston defeated the Mexicans at San Jacinto, assuring Texas indepen-dence.

In 1910, author Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, died in Redding, Connecticut, at age 74.

In 1918, Baron Manfred von Richthofen, the Ger-man ace known as the “Red Baron,” was killed in action during World War I.

In 1940, the quiz show that asked the “$64 ques-tion,” ‘’Take It or Leave It,” premiered on CBS Radio.

In 1977, the musical play “Annie,” based on the “Little Orphan An-nie” comic strip, opened on Broadway, beginning a run of 2,377 perfor-mances.

In 1980, Rosie Ruiz was the first woman to cross the finish line at the Bos-ton Marathon; however, she was later exposed as a fraud. (Canadian Jacqueline Gareau was named the actual winner of the women’s race.)

Why don’t universities play by the rules?

Guest columnist

John-a-Dreams

John Andrist

One of the hit songs from the Broadway-musical, “My Fair Lady”, was a whimsical lament, “Why can’t a lady be like a man?”

My question this week is, “Why can’t our university system play by the rules”.

Just this past week came new allegations that the University System fired an employ-ee/attorney for blowing the whistle, and she has now notifed the Attorney General that there was very little likelihood that the 40,000 e-mails irresponsibly deleted by NDSU president Dean Bresciani were other than intentionally excised. Now they face a potentially costly lawsuit.

UND students are rebelling against their president. Dickinson State is still suffering from a grade hiking scandal, and a deposed president.

No state agency has been involved in more open meeting/open record violations than the Board of Higher Education.

It seems impossible to get a chancellor who is unwilling to cow-tow to the university presidents. So we keep ending up with chancellors whose first mission is to play ball with the school presidents, rather than to lead.

They get gifts to build new mansions for their presidents, then ignore common sense structures.

Those of us who have vainly tried to create a sound management structure have been dismissed as anti-higher education zealots. That’s hurtful, and it makes us bleed.

Even though I’ve “passed the torch to a new generation” I still pine for a centralized system that is focussed on people working together for the love of students, rather than one that is dominated by leaders who have primarily self-serving interests in which students are only tools for their personal success.

SHORT SIGHTED REPUBLICANSI believe in the principle of low taxes and thrifty money

management of our government, but get upset with col-leagues who mischaracterize estate taxes.

The U.S. House voted to abolish them last week. Futile as the effort is it is an embarassment to me.

They like to call it a death tax, taking money after we die. But everything of this world is taken from us when we die.

No dead person has ever paid a tax.To advocate elimination of estate taxes is to say we think

people who inherit lots of money should get a pass on pay-ing a share of it in taxes -- like those who have to work for it are required to do.

The current estate tax provides a whopping exemption of $5.4 million for grants to family members and friends. And the money they give to charitable purposes doesn’t count.

That’s enough to protect continuation of a family busi-ness or small farm, and still provide at least a silver parachute for those lucky enough to be born to successful parents.

In our own corner of the world there is a new wealth of oil royalties, most of which have been passed down as gifts from the departed. Call them quasi-gift bequests. Should they too be exempt from taxation?

But there are other social benefits to an estate tax. So much good is accomplished by charitable bequests which are incentivised by estate taxes.

Moreover, in every economic system there is a tendency for wealth to become more and more concentrated in fewer and fewer people. Estate taxes can’t change that, but it is one tiny leveling force.

I promised myself to quit writing so frequently about po-litical things, but I guess you can get the boy out of politics, but you can’t get politics out of the boy.

Some notable good deeds and bad deeds have been in the news recently.

Last week, members of a 91st Missile Wing squadron from Minot Air Force Base pitched in to clean some of the parking lots near Trinity Hospital and at other Trinity properties.

They spent almost two hours sweeping the gutters that day and plan to help with more citywide cleaning efforts as the spring weather progresses.

How nice. Such good neighbors are hard to come by. But doesn't it seem like people from Minot AFB always stand out when it comes to community service? And we are grateful for them.

Besides the horrid news of human trafficking taking place in our midst, the recent burglary of several Minot churches stood out as particularly bad deeds, given at least one of the break-ins took place during Holy Week.

How does one hold another human being hostage and force them into the sex trade, or break into and steal from a church? It is especially hard to accept that these types of things are happening in Minot, North Dakota, not some impoverished Third World country.

Perhaps if we didn't feel compelled to play policeman around the world we could focus our attention better on the atrocities taking place here in the heartland. Or is that just an excuse?

Yes. It's more likely that we simply haven't had enough of evil yet, or so much that we don't recognize it any longer. What will it take? What will it take?

— Minot Daily News

Have we had enough of evil yet?

Despite the surge in U.S. oil prices, hedge funds are still divided about what will happen next, according to the latest data from the Commodity Futures Trad-ing Commission (CFTC).

Hedge funds and other money managers held long positions in WTI-linked futures and options equiva-lent to 396 million barrels of oil on April 14.

But the hedge fund com-munity also had 150 million barrels of short positions, betting on a fall in prices, CFTC data show.

The ratio of hedge fund long to short positions, at just 2.65 to 1, remains unusually low compared with recent years and is still below the level in January and February.

In fact, the CFTC data identifies more separate large short positions (92) than long ones (78), imply-ing more hedge funds are bearish rather than bullish, though the bulls on average hold bigger positions.

The positioning data confirm that the market remains deeply divided about the outlook for oil prices, especially in the U.S. domestic market.

Bulls point to the sharp drop in the number of rigs drilling for oil, down by almost 55 percent since early October, and the expected fall in U.S. oil output over the next six months.

Bears focus on the absence of any hard evidence of a fall in production, as well as the build up of almost 100 million barrels of extra oil inventories since the start of the year, and increases in Saudi production.

Front-month futures prices have already jumped by $14 per barrel, 33 percent, over the past month and are now trading at $56 per barrel.

Posted prices in North Dakota's Bakken region are up by $18.50 per barrel, 67 percent, to almost $45, according to Plains Market-ing.

The typical wellhead

price in North Dakota, ap-proximately the average of the WTI futures price and posted prices, is now $50 per barrel, up from less than $40 a month ago.

Prices are now high enough to support new drill-ing in the core of the Bak-ken area, based on estimates for breakevens published by North Dakota's Department of Mineral Resources back in January.

For bears, the rebound has come prematurely and threatens to restart drilling before the oversupply has been eliminated and excess inventories worked off.

That may overstate the risk, but the bullish case is far less strong at $56 for WTI (and $63 for Brent) than it was when WTI was trading at less than $45 a month ago.

In the medium term, pro-ducers probably need prices between $60 and $75 per barrel to sustain output and meet growing demand.

Brent is already trading at the low end of this range, and WTI is not far below it, which suggests the outlook is more balanced than ear-lier in the year.

Dear Annie: I am a small-business owner. It’s challenging, but I have wonderful customers who seem to like our service. So, I’d like to ask your readers a question:

Is there a business estab-lishment that you enjoy going to? A restaurant that is part of your life? A store where you always are treat-ed well? You can help them stay in business by writing a positive online review.

It’s human nature to complain when things go wrong, but it’s rare to post something to let people know when things go right. My business has only a few online reviews, and they are negative posts from customers who were not happy with some small thing. I always try to make amends, but even so, the review is never removed. For every bad thing that happens in my business, there are so many good things and so many happy customers. They thank me over and over, yet they don’t write reviews, even when I ask.

So, please, if you like a business, let the world know. “Like” them on Facebook. Post a review on Yelp or TripAdvisor or Google. You don’t have to write a lot, just a couple of positive sentences. It will

make more difference than you re-alize. -- Busi-ness Woman

Dear Business: It’s human nature to write only when you have a com-plaint or a disagree-

ment. (We should know.) When people are satisfied with the service they are getting, they rarely think to say so, but you are right that small businesses depend on good word of mouth. Please, folks, if you have had a pleasant expe-rience with a business or service, say so in an online review. It means a great deal to them.

Dear Annie: When I was growing up, the rule was that if you had to can-cel an appointment, you would call to let the person know that your plans had changed. Now that ev-eryone has cellphones, it seems that the rules have changed.

A couple of friends stood me up on my birthday be-cause my cellphone was turned off. They said they didn’t come over because I

hadn’t called to verify that I was actually going to be there at the appointed time. But we had already made these plans a week before. I thought I only needed to call if I was NOT going to be there. Am I out of touch with how things are done now? -- Sad Birthday Girl

Dear Birthday Girl: It was wrong of your friends to assume you had can-celed, but even if they apol-ogize for their rudeness, it won’t change how they respond when they cannot get ahold of you next time. The problem is, so many plans are transient these days. People expect to be able to reach you at any moment of the day or night in case something changes at the last minute. But it al-so means people need con-stant verification to be sure the plans are still on. We think they would be happy to reschedule, and we hope you will let them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Increased responsibilities will highlight your depend-ability and knowledge. Your versatility and ability to get along with and work along-side your peers will lead to great success.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You will experience emo-tional ups and downs. Forget about dealing with personal issues for now. Working on a hobby or creative project will be fulfilling and will bring you peace of mind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will feel better once you reorganize and edit your per-sonal papers. Nothing is more frustrating than searching

high and low for something you need right away.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Contribute to a meaningful cause. Being generous with your time as well as your cash will enable you to help those who need it most. An influential connection will arise due to your efforts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you want to be pro-moted, you need to keep your personal matters out of the workplace. Your position will be jeopardized if you take time off or fail to be pro-ductive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Social events will be a sur-prising source of educational information. Listen to others’ opinions and suggestions in order to discover useful, ap-plicable information.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Improving your finan-cial position takes effort. Keep abreast of information regarding investments, sav-ings plans or high-interest accounts. Act quickly when a favorable opportunity arises.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Some friendships are not maturing as you’d

hoped. If you decide to part ways with someone, be hon-est and up-front regarding your decision. Don’t make weak excuses or place blame elsewhere.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Unnecessary worry will affect your sleep. A change in the workplace will cause insecurity and tension. Work diligently and mind your own business. Add extra detail and precision to what-ever you do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Family and friends will put demands on you. Keep your temper in check to avoid unhappy conflicts. Becoming angry will not help your situation, but patience and workable solutions will.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- An elderly friend will need support. Recognizing his or her frustration will ease everyone’s stress. Your com-passion and patience will be tested, but also appreciated.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your popularity is soar-ing. New people you meet through travel or social me-dia will be won over by your charm and sense of humor.

Laurence J. Peter, a Cana-dian educator who developed the Peter Principle, said, “Real, constructive mental power lies in the creative thought that shapes your destiny, and your hour-by-hour mental conduct pro-duces power for change in your life.”

That applies to bridge play-ers, whose minute-by-minute mental conduct produces the power to solve a problem correctly. This week we are looking at deals in which working out hand shapes will shape the results.

In today’s deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads the diamond two. How should East plan the defense?

The bidding had a few in-teresting aspects. First, when North responded one spade, South, with a singleton spade, correctly rebid two clubs, not three clubs. Then North de-cided to support hearts, know-ing that two honors doubleton would be as good as three low cards. But he was tempted to rebid two spades, given his six-card suit. Then South, when he continued with two no-trump, showed some 16 or 17 high-card points, enough to think about game even though North was limited to nine points. North, with a near maximum, raised to game.

East has to think about declarer’s hand shape. South showed five hearts and four clubs in the bidding, and West’s diamond-two lead, indicating a four-card suit, tells East that South started with three diamonds. So de-clarer’s distribution must be 1-5-3-4.

East’s best chance is to win with his diamond ace and immediately shift to the spade four. Bingo! Four spade tricks later, the de-fenders will be happy.

East-West Invitational at Jamestown

BY DAVE CAMPBELLAP SPORTS WRITER

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The St. Louis Blues have been busy trying to agitate the Minnesota Wild into costly mistakes.

With a sarcastic smile here and a timely goal there, the Wild have kept their cool and taken the series lead.

Devan Dubnyk made 17 saves, Jason Pominville and Zach Parise scored in the second period and the Wild cruised to a 3-0 victory over the Blues in Game 3 on Monday.

"We're here to play hockey. We're not here to fight and do all that," center Charlie Coyle said. "That stuff after the whistle doesn't win you games, so we're just focused on playing our game and playing it smart."

Mikael Granlund had two assists, Nino Niederreiter added an empty-netter and the Wild had the edge in every way, without being drawn into a single trip to the penalty box.

Steve Ott was ejected in the closing seconds, his second game misconduct call of the series, and has 22 penalty minutes in three games.

"This is similar to what

they did in Game 1, checked us really hard," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "And they got us to crack."

St. Louis goalie Jake Allen stopped 21 shots, the over-capacity crowd taunting him with chants of his last name throughout the game, but the Blues lost on the road in the playoffs for the ninth straight time.

"We let him down," Blues defenseman Barret Jackman said, adding: "He made some big stops for us, but when you put a big goose egg up on the board it's hard to win."

Game 4 is in Minnesota on Wednesday. Then the series shifts south to St. Louis on Friday for Game 5.

"We were expecting our crowd to be a lot like they were, and our guys feed off that," Wild coach Mike Yeo said, adding: "That's got to be our game. That's got to be the way that we're playing. We're built around speed."

After getting a hat trick in the Game 2 victory at home for the Blues on Saturday, Vladimir Tarasenko was held without a shot on goal, just as he was in Game 1.

Meanwhile, the Wild's big-money scorers came through in the middle of the game

after some big rebounds al-lowed early by Allen weren't converted.

Granlund put a slick move on Tarasenko and sped past the prolific right wing on the rush. His shot was blocked by Carl Gunnarsson, but the ricochet went to Parise, who threaded a perfect pass to Pominville for the simple tap-in at 14:08.

On their next shift, Parise was tied up with Blues defen-seman Kevin Shattenkirk in the slot when he managed to snap the puck past Allen for the two-goal lead with 3:47 re-maining in the second period.

Granlund nearly matched his line mates when Parise and Pominville set him up with a wide-open net. The young center was too fast to score, just a little too deep, and his shot hit the near post and bounced back.

"Their team speed, when you let them have time and space to make plays and zip the puck around, it's danger-ous," Blues captain David Backes said.

The Blues had to be happy at the first intermission, having kept the game score-less for the first 20 minutes despite being outshot 9-4, outhit 16-10 and penalized

once for a Wild power play. The Blues blocked eight shots in the first period, but Allen was plenty busy.

The intensity between these similarly constructed Central Division opponents has been palpable, sure to heighten the rivalry once it resumes again next season.

The Wild have deftly avoided the penalty goading the Blues have tried, another sign of the confidence and discipline this team has displayed since their mid-January turnaround.

Jason Zucker, one of several Wild players Ott has tried to provoke in this series, irritated Shattenkirk with a mild whack at Allen as he skated by in the first period. Shattenkirk gave Zucker a light shove, and Zucker stuck his tongue out with a big, sarcastic smile.

Ott attempted a check on Jonas Brodin in front of the Wild bench in the second period, and Matt Dumba mischievously tugged on Ott's stick, riling up the vet-eran center as he returned to the play.

"We prepped for this, we expect it and I think our guys have done a good job of handling it so far," Yeo said.

BY DAVE SKRETTAAP SPORTS WRITER

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Edinson Volquez is quickly proving his breakthrough season of a year ago was no fluke.

The Royals right-hander held down the Twins for seven innings Monday night, and Kansas City's opportu-nistic offense took advantage of a series of Minnesota miscues in a 7-1 victory.

"It feels good because the way I'm pitching, I'm carry-ing over everything," said Volquez, who went 13-7 with a 3.04 ERA for Pittsburgh. "Just trying to do what I did

last year."Royals manager Ned Yost

said that pitching coach Dave Eiland has been working on mechanics with Volquez (2-1) that have allowed him to pitch even better than he did with the Pirates. He only allowed five hits and a walk while striking out five against Minnesota.

"We've been talking about him since he first got here," Yost said. "We felt last year was a big year for him. He really turned the corner with his mechanics on some things."

Alcides Escobar returned from a sprained knee to score a run Monday night,

and Kendrys Morales and Paulo Orlando drove in a pair each as the Royals final-ly figured out Kyle Gibson.

Their nemesis gave up four runs in five-plus in-nings after beating the Royals the first four times he faced them. Gibson (1-2) was dominant last week in a 3-1 victory at Target Field.

"Gibby didn't have his best command, four walks and a couple of wild pitches," Twins manager Paul Molitor said. "He was struggling with his feel for off-speed pitches. His last start he had a good slider and changeup. Tonight he had to battle with his fastball.

BOSTON (AP) — Lelisa Desisa ran through the rain to earn a second Boston Marathon victory and his first chance to enjoy it.

The 25-year-old Ethiopian broke the tape again on Boylston Street on Monday as the world's most presti-gious marathon tried to re-turn to its routine two years after Desisa's first Boston win was overshadowed by the twin explosions at the finish line.

"Lelisa did not get to have the kind of victory celebra-tion that a champion of the Boston Marathon should have," Boston Athletic As-sociation spokesman Jack Fleming said, interrupting the post-race news confer-ence to place the champions' trophy at Desisa's side. "Le-lisa, we want you to get your due today."

Desisa won the 2013 race just hours before two bombs killed three people and wounded 260 others, turning what should be the pinnacle of any distance runner's career into an afterthought. On Monday, he finished in 2 hours, 9 minutes, 17 sec-onds to claim a golden olive wreath, the $150,000 first prize and a winner's medal to replace the one he donat-ed to the city in memory of the victims.

"This medal, I think, is for me," said Desisa, who waved to the crowd as he sprinted past the bomb sites. "I took off my hat and started wav-ing my hands because I love the Boston people."

Kenya's Caroline Rotich won the women's race, beating Mare Dibaba in a shoulder-to-shoulder sprint down Boylston to win by 4 seconds on a cold and rainy day that thinned the crowds but didn't lessen their enthu-siasm for the city's signature sporting event.

"I got to the last corner and I saw the finish line tape and I thought, 'This is it, I'm not going to let it go,'" said Rotich.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Fired up for the first NHL playoff game in town in 19 years, Winnipeg Jets fans went silent when the Ducks scored.

The raucous "whiteout" crowd left on a somber note when Anaheim's Rickard Rakell scored at 5:12 of overtime to beat the Jets 5-4 Monday night at MTS Centre and take a 3-0 series lead.

MCKENZIE TO BORROWMcKenzie county commis-

sioners have decided to bor-row up to $60 million for a new law enforcement center, freeing up general budget money for other projects.

Without the $60 million line of credit from the Bank of North Dakota, commis-sioners were facing a $61.8 million shortfall over the next two years.

According to Auditor Linda Svihovec, financ-ing the Law Enforcement Center project will mean budget revisions for 2015 and 2016 that will allow for two phases of the northern highway bypass project to be completed as planned.

Prior to directing Svih-ovec to initiate paperwork for the line of credit, com-missioners accepted some recommendations by Icon Architects for trimming back the project.

The most notable cut is re-ducing the number of beds in the inmate housing pod by about 30 percent.

Other cuts include things like deleting the fitness/locker/shower spaces, delet-ing the fitness equipment budget, reducing the width of the vehicle sallyport to being one lane only and re-ducing the public and staff parking.

NO MORE FREE DUMPINGThere will be no more free

wastewater dumping in Ray.The City of Ray was allow-

ing commercial wastewater haulers to dump treated sewage water into the town’s new lagoons.

Ray recently suspended the program after com-plaints that local taxpayers were footing the bill.

“And that isn’t true,” said Public Works Commissioner Richard Liesener.

The lagoons are clay lined and need to be kept full in order to prevent the bottom from drying and cracking. The town looked at several options including filling it with fresh water, which would have cost about $30,000.

The city decided to allow wastewater haulers to dump

into the lagoon for free. The city saved money and so did the haulers, who were going as far away as Stanley to dump their grey water.

Even though the program was not costing taxpayers, Liesener said he decided to suspend it following the complaints while he consult-ed with the city’s attorney and discussed the ramifica-tions of charging for the service.

TRANSLOAD FACILITY SHIPPINGA massive grain and oil

transloading facility located a mile across the U.S. border at Northgate, Saskatchewan, is now shipping Canadian grain into U.S. markets.

Fifty-six rail cars on a loop are loaded weekly straight from trucks bringing the grain into the temporary terminal.

The grain is sent south on Burlington Northern Santa Fe track nearly 60 miles southeast to Berthold where it intersects with a main east-west BNSF track.

Weekly loads are mov-ing a mile south across the international boundary and through Northgate, N.D., then on to the main line at Berthold, according to BNSF spokeswoman Amy McBeth.

Since the hub began ship-ping regular loads on Jan. 12, most of the grain has been durum and each train, which represents about half a unit train, is moving ap-proximately 170,000 bushels of the specialty wheat.

When the $95 million facil-ity becomes fully operation-al late this year or early in 2016, 120-car unit trains will be loaded in eight hours, ac-cording to Cameron Nordin, a producer and municipal-ity councillor who lives six miles from it.

TIOGA CITY HALL DELAYEDAs the city goes out to bid

on a variety of infrastruc-ture projects, plans for a new city hall are now on the back burner.

Mayor Drake McClelland said the project will be revisited after the priority

projects are complete and funding opportunities are identified.

“It hasn’t been tabled for-ever,” McClelland said.

With the slowdown in the oil industry after the price of oil dropped by half, the North Dakota legislature hesitated to let go of too much money.

Allocations fell short of expectations in Tioga, and anticipated future funding from new formulas that would have provided more money to local communities also came up short.

So, the city had to priori-tize.

“We had to make sure we get the important projects addressed,” said Commis-sioner John Grubb.

With $11.3 million in “surge” funding received, the city decided to pursue the Main Street improve-ment project, which in-cludes replacing water and sewer lines in addition to aesthetic improvements.

WIND TOWERS TO RISE SOONConstruction of the

43-tower Thunder Spirit Wind Project northeast of Hettinger could begin by May 11.

Project planning started five years ago by Wind Works, and was subsequent-ly acquired by Allete Clean Energy of Duluth, Minn.

Allete already operates wind farms in Minnesota, Iowa and Oregon.

Equipment for the project will be sent from places like Germany, Poland, South Korea and Indonesia and will come through the Port of Duluth and then be trans-ported by truck to North Dakota.

Adams County Com-mission Chairman Chuck Christman said it would “absolutely” be a good thing for the county as well as the city of Hettinger.

Long term, the project looks to begin commercial operations in December this year, with some of the finishing touches stretching to the middle of 2016.
