WILLISTON — Its passengers are mostly silver-haired retirees, oil-field workers and a few young families gazing out the windows of Amtrak’s least-profitable and third-longest line, rumbling from Chicago through eight states and on to the American West Coast.

As the Empire Builder snakes along 2,230 miles (3,590 km) on a 46-hour journey, it offers insights into the financial problems plaguing America’s passenger railroad at a time of intensifying scrutiny over its aging infra-structure and safety record.

Following Amtrak’s May 12 fatal derailment in Philadelphia, the 86-year-old line sums up its problems — and its promise. Running most of its length near no major highways, the Empire Builder reaches into some of America’s most rugged, remote and rural regions. A coach ticket between Spokane, Washington and Williston, capital of North Dakota’s oil boom, costs $111, much cheaper than flying.

Its supporters include both Republican and Democrat politi-cians, illustrating how the often-vicious partisan rancor over Am-trak in Washington evaporates in sparsely populated areas of the country that need it most.

And like many of Amtrak’s long-distance routes, it’s grow-ing.

The shale boom has helped swell passenger numbers, which are up 28 percent between 1997 and 2014.

The increase comes from work-ers like John Dirby, who rides the Empire Builder from his Mon-tana home to North Dakota’s oil fields, where he works as a truck driver, a 10-hour trip. It’s longer than by car but worth it, he says. “I spend tons of time for that job driving already. Why would I want to add on more time behind a wheel?”

But the demand isn’t enough to make it financially viable: the service lost $34.8 million between October and March, more than the same period in the previous fiscal year when it lost $31.9 mil-lion.

WILLISTON — Joe Burns began his journey to paint still life portraits of the Bakken and at the the James Memorial Art Center, the oil painter from Minnesota will be showcasing his work, “Canvassing the Bakken Oilfields: Oil on Oil”.

Burns is the first painter to document the histori-cal transformation of the once-quieted landscape of the Bakken oil fields.

“This is our gold rush and it is happening right now,” Burns said.

Burns explained he has always been interested in life-changing events that occurred in the United States, such as the build-ing of the Hoover Dam and the California gold rush. He explains he would’ve enjoyed paint-ing those historic events, had he been around, and thanks to the Bakken oil boom, now he has the chance to.

Burns went into art right after high school and worked as a commercial artist. Soon, he began to want to paint. His wife, Kris, graciously encour-aged him to go back to school. Burns attended the Atelier Art Institute in Minneapolis, but this art school wasn’t just school, it was also a job.

“I went to school for four years from 9 a.m to 4 p.m., painting and drawing all day. I was taught disci-pline,” said Burns.

WILLISTON — On Satur-day, the people of Williston got a taste of real, profes-sional mixed martial arts, along with the musical talent of the one and only, Vanilla Ice.

Hundreds crammed into the Agri Sportsplex to watch local and regional fighters come together to

show off their skills and prove their talent and dedication to the sport of MMA.

“They hold these events randomly. When we hear about it, we make sure to go out with friends to see all of the action,” said Halsie Knouf, a Williston local.

The room was filled with the smell of beer and adrenaline as the crowd

waited anxiously for the fights and a throwback to the 90’s with rap star Vanilla Ice.

The first fight was the 185 lb round featuring Kevin Kline and Travis McCu-lough. Kline defeated Mc-Culough in the first round.

The second fight was the 155 lb round featuring Joey

HAZEN, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota farmer has seeded part of his land with grass and flowering plants in hopes to feed bees and butterflies.

Bill Wagner of Hazen is taking part in a program to help form a new pollinator habitat for bees and monarch butterflies since both spe-cies are in trouble, The Bismarck Tribune (http://bit.ly/1LNjizb ) reported. The new program is a collaboration of nonprofits Pheas-ants Forever and Project Apis m., and the Browning Honey Co. The groups hope that landowners in North Dakota and South Dakota with ground to spare can help provide an environment for food for the bees and butterflies.

The program provides seeds for free as well as some monetary compensation. Wagner said he got

interested in the pollinator plots because they act as brooding cover for pheasant chicks. The plants attract insects and have enough structure to protect the chicks and space among them for the birds to move around.

Wagner and his wife planted the seeds, which are designed to have plants blooming from May to Sep-tember, on seven acres. Half of his

acreage was planted with a mix for the butterflies, the other half with a mix for the bees.

The bee mix consists of 19 seed types, including several varieties of clovers, grasses and native wild-flowers, such as the native smooth blue aster. The monarch butterfly mix has around 44 seed times; about half are for native wildflow-ers, some grasses and milkweed — the only food source for monarch larvae.

Wagner said he’s now just wait-ing for rain. He said he expects the plants’ growth to vary by the seed.

“Some will catch and go — the al-falfa and clovers will take right off the first year,” he said. “It’s such a huge mix, so some, especially the native grasses, I don’t expect will really take off until the second year.”

Wagner put in his application for the program while snow was still on the ground and said he has been looking forward to seeing some color on his land from the plants.

“I’m hoping this is absolutely beautiful. Blossoms everywhere, that’s what I would love to see here,” he said.

Murray and Jeff Ferraro. The third fight was was

very pleasing to the crowd as Esteban Soto participated in his first professional UFC fight by taking on Tyler Voel; in the end Voel defeated Soto.

In the fourth fight, 135-pound female round featured Shawna Anderson and Davrene Morrison. A little over two minutes into the round Anderson took the win.

The fifth fight featured Bruce Sesseman and Cory Sandhagen; Sandhagen took the win.

The sixth fight was the 182-pound featuring Brad Watterud and Nick Phillips. Phillips took the win.

the seventh fight was the Title Fight 265 lb featured Jeremiah Constant and Ja-son Ackerman. Ackerman took the win.

And finally the main event 205lb title fight featured

Brandon Anderson and Cody Mumma. Mumma defeated the Williston loca Anderson, who graciously gave up his title.

For one fighters’ walk up song, he chose “Under Pressure” by Queen and David Bowie. With a similar, some say identical rhythm to “Ice Ice Baby”, the crowd

cheered, but then realized it wasn’t the song they were thinking. It all ended with laughter.

Once Vanilla Ice took the stage, most of the crowd made its way down to the floor to join in. Interestingly enough, Vanilla Ice had a clown that danced on stage with him. They were both interactive with the audi-ence and had some of the crowd climb on stage to join in on the fun.

“Just knowing Vanilla Ice was coming, I was sold,” said Diana Fierro of Williston. “That was my childhood and there was no way I was missing out on that, and getting the chance to see some professional fights? I was most definitely impressed”

With so much action at Agri Sportsplex, the crowd was nothing but pleased. The event was a family friendly event which made it possible for the whole family to get out and enjoy a night of fighting enter-tainment. At the end of the night, there was nothing but positive vibes were felt throughout the crowd.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Earlier this month, representatives from three groups looking to develop business opportunities in Williston, attended the ICSC annual retail conference in Las Vegas. Today, we look at North-star’s experience at the conference and on Tuesday, Granite Peak.

BY RENÉE JEANWILLISTON HERALD

WILLISTON — One thing North-star Center’s director of sales and marketing noticed at this year’s global conference in Vegas for the retail industry is that it was a much larger, much more excited crowd than in year’s past.

“There were a lot of warmed up projects coming up out of the ground,” Joe Kachuroi said. “Apartments, shopping centers — you could just hear the buzz.”

Williston was well-represented in all of that buzz, Kachuroi added, and North Star Center, with its large mixed-use master plan community, was getting its share of attention as well during the International Council of Shopping Center’s annual retail conference RECon. The event annually hosts a small city of 35,000 or so attendees in a single conference.

This year, the conference maga-zine featured Williston, giving it an entire page describing how “hot” the retail environment here is. It is against that backdrop that Northstar Center shopped its de-

velopment around at a conference those in the industry describe as the retail show of shows.

“Northstar, being located where it is, and the talk about the new airport that’s going to be just a few miles west — it’s just strategically well-located, so there is huge inter-est in Northstar Center,” Kachuroi said.

Northstar has, in all, 535 gross acres and between 150 and 175 acres in its first phase. The in-frastructure for phase one is 85 percent complete, and the devel-oper recently recorded a final plat for the future autoplex. It’s likely to front Highway 2, which is the eastern boundary of Northstar.

Conversations are ongoing to at-tract additional dealerships to the mall, which is expected to open in early 2016.

Northstar’s proximity to the airport has created some interest in an office conference area, too.

“We’re looking at a grouping of office buildings,” Kachuroi said, “with what are called flag hotels — brand names everyone will recog-nize — that will be on the site. We are in the process of doing some early designs for four different of-fice buildings, with looking at two to three large flag hotels.”

Negotiations are also under-way with anchor grocery chains and national home improvement centers, burger chains and coffee chains.

Among other retail types Ka-

churoi is following up on were a couple of restaurant chains and a theater/movieplex.

“We’re working on some very large retailers to come,” Kachuroi said. “We are in communication with some of the largest retailers. You will recognize their names. I just cannot put it out there yet which ones, because it’s not com-pletely solidified.”

He’s also already procured agreements for a gas station, convenience store and car/truck wash, he said. Those companies will be making their own an-nouncements.

Meanwhile, he is negotiating for a large truck stop at the north end of the development that can meet high-end needs for the trucking industry, as well as fuel for tractor trailers and cars. The truckstop would include a mini mart with clothing and food.

Last but not least, there’s inter-est from builders who want to construct single-family detached homes, as well as two groups look-ing at some multi-family parcels.

“It’s a lot of activity,” Kachuroi said. “And we are moving forward to make this happen. As long as oil stabilizes and gains strength, we will be fine and everyone will be happy.”

Kachuroi said he believes Northstar has the best location for a mixed-use master plan in the region and will attract some of the best end users for Williston.

“You’re right on the bypass, and you’re closest to where the pro-jected new airport will be devel-oped, so that was the big interest,”

he said. “They liked being on the south side of the bypass, and they liked being close to the airport.”

half, Burns has spent a little over a month documenting the Bakken oilfields, and the many shapes it continues to take.

“I think anytime that the landscape is changing, it is nice to be documented,” said Burns.

Burns began to explain how the oil field has changed with an example from when

he was painting an oil pump located behind an old school house. All he heard was traffic, whereas before the boom there was nothing but nature ringing noiselessly in your ears.

“There are so many people to thank with all of the con-nections. The people (of Wil-liston) are also generous and showed me around town, and took me out on the rigs,”

Burns said. “It made my job very pleasurable”

Living in a fast-changing environment, Burns took on the role of documenting all the changes occurring in the Bakken. And now, Burns would like to share with the public his latest effort.

Melissa Krause • Williston HeraldRapper Vanilla Ice performs Saturday night at the Agri Sports Com-plex.

Many seats remain empty. When a Reuters reporter traveled from St. Paul, Min-nesota to Williston, several sleeper cars were vacant at various intervals. In the coach cabin each passenger had at least a two-person seat to themselves for most of the trip.

To pay for its money-losing routes, Amtrak peels funds away from its profitable ones such as the Northeast Corridor, where its high-speed Acela and Northeast Regional trains saw a com-bined $484.7 million profit in its last fiscal year.

That’s stoking debate over the future of Amtrak and how far Washington should foot the bill for upgrades to aging infrastructure and safety technology at the federal railroad that has bled red ink since its 1971 creation. Of its 48 lines, only five make a profit and one breaks even.

Democrats have called for $1 billion in additional funding for Amtrak. Chuck Schumer, a Democratic Senator from New York, says

such investments could have prevented the Philadelphia accident, citing Amtrak’s failure to install Posi-tive Train Control on the sharp bend where the train derailed. The mechanism, federal safety officials say, would have automatically slowed the speeding train.

Many Republicans, backed by conservative groups in-cluding Club for Growth, say the federal passenger rail authorization spending of $7.2 billion over four years is already too much. The Republican-controlled House Appropriations Committee voted on May 13, a day after the crash, to approve a $1.14 billion Amtrak budget for next fiscal year, a $252 mil-lion cut from this year.

John Mica, a Republican in the House, urged priva-tization for Amtrak as a solution to what he called a “third-world rail system ... run in a Soviet-style opera-tion.”

Caught in the middle are heartland politicians, including some Republicans, who want to preserve Am-trak services to their remote towns, along with an eclectic

mix of passengers.“If one can afford the time,

this is a fun, carefree way to travel,” said Mary Firestine, 60, who took the Empire Builder’s entire route from Chicago to connect with a ferry in Seattle en route to an Alaskan job.

TENSIONSThe push to roll back Am-

trak funding has laid bare tensions between Washing-ton’s Republican establish-ment and North Dakota’s Republican-dominated Congressional delegation, a fight that echoes tensions elsewhere in the country.

“I will fight to at least maintain current funding for Amtrak,” Representa-tive Kevin Cramer, North Dakota’s Republican congressman, said in an interview. “Clearly the role of Amtrak in North Da-kota has changed from one

of convenience and local economic development to an essential form of transporta-tion for a workforce highly in demand.”

Other long-distance routes are also growing, while los-ing millions of dollars. The Southwest Chief, from Chi-cago to Los Angeles, record-ed a 10.5 percent increase in ridership in the year to March, a period when it lost $30 million. The number of passengers on the Sunset Ltd, from Louisiana to California, rose 14.5 percent while it lost $18.1 million, ac-cording to Amtrak data.

Eighteen states contribute funds to Amtrak, includ-ing nine led by Republican governors.

“All of the rhetoric over Amtrak that exists in D.C. simply does not exist outside D.C.,” said Robert Puen-tes, a senior fellow at the

Brookings Institution who specializes in transportation and infrastructure. “It’s a completely different conver-sation.”

In total, long-distance routes carry about 14.6 per-cent of Amtrak’s passengers but soak up about 41 percent of the costs.

Those who board the Empire Builder have noticed some cost-cutting recently, including the loss of a free

wine tasting program the rail network discontinued after Amtrak’s inspector general in 2013 called the practice too expensive.

“I miss the wine and cheese nights,” Theo Ander-son, a retired banker from Seattle, said over a plate of eggs in the train’s dining car as the North Dakota prairie retreated behind him. “I guess they’re trying to save money.”

$430 MILLION DAKOTA PRAIRIE REFINERY BEGINS DIESEL SALES

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Operators of a new oil refinery in western North Dakota says diesel sales have begun.

Bismarck-based MDU Resources Group and Indianapolis-based Calumet Specialty Products Partners built the $430 million Dakota Prairie Refinery near Dick-inson.

Officials said Monday that some diesel was sold last month. But they say June is expected to be the first full month of production at 20,000 barrels per day. A bar-rel is 42 gallons.

Crews broke ground on the refinery in March 2013.

The only other refinery producing fuel in North Dakota is the Tesoro Corp. plant at Mandan.

AUTHORITIES NAB TEEN WHO ESCAPED FROM ND CORREC-TIONAL CENTER

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say a teen who escaped from a Mandan youth correctional center after injuring two guards has been caught.

The Highway Patrol says 17-year-old Malachi Redroad was captured at about 11 p.m. Sunday in Mandan. Troopers say he was cap-tured without incident.

Authorities say Redroad escaped on Saturday from the North Dakota Youth Cor-rectional Center in Mandan.

Authorities say Redroad and another youth assaulted two guards during the escape. The other juvenile, a 16-year-old boy, was cap-tured Saturday.

WEDNESDAY IS DEADLINE FOR ND DEER LICENSE APPS

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Time is running out for deer

hunters in North Dakota to apply for licenses for the 2015 gun season.

The state Game and Fish Department says Wednesday is the deadline. It applies to muzzleloader, regular gun, gratis and nonresident land-owner, and youth antlered mule deer applications.

Hunters are encouraged to apply online at the Game and Fish website, www.gf.nd.gov . State law requires residents age 18 and older to prove residency on the application by submitting a valid North Dakota driver’s license number or a North Dakota photo identification number.

Game and Fish is making 43,275 licenses available to hunters this fall, 4,725 fewer than last year and the lowest number since 1978.

MAY ECONOMIC REPORT SUG-GESTS SLOW GROWTH AHEAD IN MIDWEST

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A report on a May survey says slower economic growth likely is ahead for nine Mid-western and Plains states.

The survey report issued Monday says the overall Mid-America Business Con-ditions Index dropped to 50.4 last month from 52.7 April.

Creighton University economist Ernie Goss over-sees the survey, and he high-lighted drops in economic activity for companies linked to energy production and agriculture.

The survey results from supply managers are com-piled into a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Survey organizers say any score above 50 suggests economic growth, while a score below that suggests decline.

The survey covers Arkan-sas, Iowa, Kansas, Minne-sota, Missouri, Nebraska,

North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

ND MAN ARRESTED FOR SHOOTING CROSSBOW IN NEIGHBOR’S YARD

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Authorities say a Bismarck man has been charged with reckless endangerment after alleging shooting a cross-bow bolt into a neighbor’s yard.

The 56-year-old man was arrested last week.

Police say a 34-year-old woman told officers she was in her yard with her dog when her neighbor shot the crossbow in a cross her direction.

Police say she gave the bolt which she found in her yard to officers.

SENTENCING SET FOR WOMAN INVOLVED IN ND DRIVE-BY SHOOTING

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A woman accused of driving the vehicle during a drive-by shooting on the Fort Ber-thold Indian Reservation is set to be sentenced in federal court.

Authorities say Morgan Williams was behind the wheel when Michael Mitzel fired shots into a residence in Mandaree last August. There were no injuries.

Williams pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment and terrorizing. Her sentencing is scheduled Monday morn-ing in Bismarck.

Authorities say Williams and Mitzel tried to cover up the crime by hiding the shot-gun and selling the vehicle used during the shooting.

Court documents show that Mitzel knew the occu-pants of the house, but did not know if they were there at the time of the shooting.

WEST NILE VIRUS SURVEIL-LANCE BEGINS IN NORTH

DAKOTA BISMARCK, N.D. (AP)

— Officials around North Dakota have started surveil-lance activity for the West Nile virus.

State Health Department officials say activities in-clude reporting and testing of sick horses and dead birds, trapping and testing of mosquitoes, and monitor-ing of illness in people.

State health officials have been monitoring the mosquito-borne virus since 2002 and cases have been reported in every county in North Dakota.

Last year, there were 23 West Nile virus cases in humans and one death.

MAN, WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN WEST FARGO HOME

WEST FARGO, N.D. (AP) — West Fargo police say a man and woman have been found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.

Authorities went to a West Fargo home early Sunday after they were asked to go there to check on a woman. From outside, they saw a man and woman on the lower level of the house, and both appeared to be dead. Police say they had been shot. Police say the case seems to be a murder-sui-cide, but the investigation is ongoing.

BISMARCK SCHOOL DISTRICT TO GET 1,100 COMPUTERS FOR STUDENTS

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The school district in Bismarck plans to buy more than 1,100 computers for students at all 17 elementary schools.

The Bismarck Tribune reports the purchase is part of $1.6 million in budget en-hancements approved by the school board for the upcom-ing school year.

• North Dakota in brief• Nation/world in briefJUSTICES RULE FOR MUSLIM DENIED JOB OVER HEADSCARF

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled Monday for a Muslim wom-an who did not get hired after she showed up to a job interview with clothing re-tailer Abercrombie & Fitch wearing a black headscarf.

The justices said that employers generally have to accommodate job applicants and employees with reli-gious needs if the employer at least has an idea that such accommodation is necessary.

Job applicant Samantha Elauf did not tell her inter-viewer she was Muslim. But Justice Antonin Scalia said for the court that Abercrom-bie “at least suspected” that Elauf wore a headscarf for religious reasons. “That is enough,” Scalia said in an opinion for seven justices.

KERRY’S SURGEON TO AC-COMPANY HIM TO US FOR LEG TREATMENT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry’s orthopedic surgeon will accompany him on the flight from Geneva to the United States for treat-ment of Kerry’s broken leg, the State Department said Monday.

Spokesman John Kirby said that Dr. Dennis Burke will accompany Kerry to Boston to monitor the secre-tary’s condition and “ensure he remains comfortable.”

Kerry, 71, fractured his right femur Sunday when he struck a curb with his bicycle and fell on a regu-lar Tour de France route southeast of Geneva. He has been receiving treatment at Geneva’s main medical center, HUG.

Earlier, Kirby described Kerry as “in great spirits and active,” making “a range of phone calls includ-ing with the president.” He

“never lost consciousness, his injury is not life-threat-ening and he is expected to make a full recovery,” Kirby said.

MATERIAL BEING LIFTED BY CRANE IN NYC FALLS; 10 INJURED

NEW YORK (AP) — A mas-sive air-conditioning unit being lifted by a crane to the top of a Manhattan office building broke free Sunday, fell 28 stories and landed in the middle of Madison Avenue, injuring 10 people, officials said.

Two were construction workers, while the others were pedestrians and occu-pants of passing cars, Mayor Bill de Blasio said. All were struck by debris that caused minor injuries; they were treated at hospitals.

Police said the emergency call came in around 10:45 a.m. Officers who responded to the high-rise building a short walk from Grand Cen-tral Terminal found that the crane’s payload had broken free as it was heading to the top of the 28-story building. It plummeted to the street, shattering parts of the building facade composed of widening, stepped edges on the lower floors.

HIGH COURT: BANKRUPT HOMEOWNERS CAN’T VOID SECOND MORTGAGE

WASHINGTON (AP) — A unanimous Supreme Court says homeowners who de-clare bankruptcy can’t void a second mortgage even if the home isn’t worth what they owe on the first mort-gage. The justices on Mon-day ruled in favor of Bank of America in two Florida cases where bankrupt home-owners wanted to “strip off” a second loan because they were underwater on the primary mortgage.

U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter unleashed a firestorm when he harshly criticized Iraqi forces for abandoning the Iraqi city of Ramadi to ISIS. Iraqi security forces “showed no will to fight,” he said. “They were not outnumbered. In fact, they vastly outnumbered the opposing force.”

The numbers are stunning (though a Pentagon spokesman volunteered that it’s hard to make precise estimates). Conserva-tive blogger Ed Morrissey reported that 6,000 Iraqi soldiers were beaten by 150 ISIS jihadists. If that’s true, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has got a major internal threat knocking at his doorsteps.

Two publications, VOX World and The Daily Beast, pounced on Carter for making unfair, even inaccurate, criticisms of the ISF, and on President Obama for alleged inadequate air support. The following day, Vice President Joe Biden was on the phone with Iraq’s prime minister reassur-ing him that the U.S. still had Iraq’s back. Biden thanked al-Abadi for “the enormous sacrifice and bravery of Iraqi forces in Ramadi.”

The “fog of war” is at work here. For example, those close to the battlefront have witnessed something else -- conflicting accounts from fighters present during the battle. An Iraqi soldier called their retreat “a life-saving measure (that prevented) a massacre.” But a Kurd soldier present said it was “an extraordinary withdrawal and there was no reason for it.”

Some of the fog lifted as reports came in that ISIS converted “captured U.S. military armored vehicles ... into mega bombs” that flattened whole city blocks and leveled multi-storied buildings. ISIS exploded 27 of these horrific devices, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Instead of arriving in the long Toyota pickup caravans that ISIS favors, they en-tered in old cars, two or three at a time, to escape U.S. air surveillance. And when the offensive came, they used the cover of a sandstorm. ISIS fighters kept tight secrecy until their attack. They are at war, and so are we, with our relentless airstrikes and personnel in Iraq training local forces.

However you slice it -- even if we allow that ISIS had “hundreds” of fighters pres-ent -- ISIS jihadists were outnumbered by thousands of Iraqi soldiers. I am sure the U.S. personnel there were deeply disap-pointed as well.

For over a year, the Obama Administra-tion has been waging a tactical war against ISIS using strategic airstrikes and training and arming the Iraqi military. Congress, which continues to demand a strategy for defeating or dismantling ISIS, hasn’t moved an inch on legislation that would give authorization to do more.

In the House, Speaker John Boehner is sitting on a bill that would authorize U.S. forces to fight ISIS. President Obama re-quested this authorization over six months ago, but Boehner refuses to act because the bill bans “enduring offensive ground combat operations.”

If Boehner and the Republicans were serious about fighting ISIS, they would immediately provide Obama with the authorization he asks for -- and add greater powers later, if they were needed.

And for those Republicans running for president, they have seized the opportu-nity of ISIS’s victory in Ramadi to criti-cize Obama as lacking a plan. But those Republicans who insist Obama has no plan appear bereft of their own specific military plan to combat ISIS ... beyond vowing to “kill terrorists.”

Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia is at-tempting to shame Con-gress into action. “I’m shaming them. ... But the other news that is shaming them is, (ISIS) is running wild,” Kaine told the Vir-ginian-Pilot. “War powers” is an area where the Consti-tution gives clear authority to Congress, but Boehner is avoiding Congress’ respon-sibility.

Instead of acting to put Congress behind U.S. air support in Iraq and Syria, Boehner is playing politi-cal games. He dusted off an old ploy that he has used in

the past to delay other Obama proposals -- demanding the president “start over” and submit a broader authorization. Again, they could begin with what they have, instead of passing the buck.

The Iraqis, stung by Secretary Carter’s recent criticism, have effectively acknowledged their army lacks the dis-cipline to fight ISIS, and turned mostly to Shia militias to retake Ramadi, in the heart of Sunni territory. This is risky, given that Shia Muslims have looted and murdered Sunni Muslim civilians in previ-ous actions.

For now, Obama ordered airstrikes in targets leading to Ramadi, and a top State Department official said the administra-tion is “taking an extremely hard look” in re-evaluating its strategy against ISIS. Meanwhile Congress, as Kaine has repeat-edly stated, is largely silent, unless they raise their voices to critique President Obama.

When Congress returns from its brief recess, members will have plenty on their plate. But the time has come to focus on a united strategy to defeat, dismantle and destroy ISIS before it captures more cities, kills more innocent civilian, and wreaks havoc in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere.

ISIS united, U.S. divided

Statistics on disciplinary action col-lected by schools in the Fargo metro-politan area revealed that Hispanic,

African-American and Native-American children were suspended five or six times more than are white children.

While the data comes from only one area of the state, it is safe to assume that the find-ings would hold up all across North Dakota.

One observer was generous enough to allege that the statistics didn’t smack of rac-ism but of stupidity on the part of teachers who don’t understand the cultural back-grounds of unruly students.

But simply understanding isn’t enough when a student is disruptive in a class. The teacher is required to deal with the situa-tion immediately. Understanding is for later.

North Dakota Superintendent of Public Instruction Kirsten Baesler came closest to the truth when she noted that the differences in suspensions may be explained by cultural perspectives.

First, we need to admit to the proportion of unruliness among minority students. If minority students are being suspended five and six times more often than white students, we maybe should assume that these students are five and six times more unruly, regardless of ethnicity.

In most cases, the problem of unruly kids goes back to par-enting, or the lack thereof. If there is no discipline exercised at home, there will be no discipline practiced in school.

Unruliness and lack of respect may be the unexpected con-sequences of destroying the traditional family structure and opting for new less stable variations in group living.

The lack of discipline can have many causes, some of which we are no longer free to discuss because of the de-mand for political correctness, such as the importance of fathers in a home.

Superintendent Baesler is correct when she mentions cul-tural differences in defining acceptable discipline. Histori-cally, the dominant white society has not been helpful.

African-Americans have had a long, painful road to bring meaning to family after decades of slavery when white slaveholders showed little respect for preserving African-American families.

Today African- Americans are still struggling to bring real meaning in family. Women are still the mainstays in most African-American homes and are primarily responsible for imbuing children with behavioral discipline.

The white society has been equally dismissive of Native-Americans who have been forced to change a whole way of life, with its unique social structure, to meet the expectations of white schools.

Children from white families have had the benefit of early exposure to the rules of society. However, white children growing up without enforced parental parameters are as unruly as minority kids so ethnicity need not be considered a dominant factor.

The education system must somehow deal with unruliness although it seems unfair to expect teachers to correct years of bad practices at home. (So what else is new?)

Because unruliness blossomed in the home, families with undisciplined kids are hardly in position to solve the prob-lem. In many cases, parents will defend their unruly chil-dren, claiming is was justification for unruliness. Defiant parents produce defiant children.

Unruliness will not be solved with an afternoon workshop or a 30-minute meeting with parents in which only one par-ent shows up. It will take concentrated effort to undo years of cultural experience.

Shire Mohamed, an AmericCorps recruit in Moorhead, works with 30 middle and high school students each year, using a variety of techniques to keep kids positive. But this sort of effective involvement is labor intensive, meaning it is expensive.

States claim they don’t have the money to hire more Mo-hameds. So we will continue to suspend students until we learn that cheaper is seldom better.

Now in the case of Tom Brady, suspension is advisable.

BY CALVIN WOODWARDASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON (AP) — Bernie Sanders is itching to debate and not just with other Democrats running for the party’s presidential nom-ination. He says Democratic and Republican contenders should be debating each other during the primary season, too.

That shakeup is unlikely to happen — each party is planning its own debates, as usual. But the network news shows Sunday morning were something of a debating society of their own as 10 de-clared and likely candidates from both parties appeared in a parade of political argument and sound bites, touching on ISIS, personal ambition, immigration, hair color and more. A sampling:

Is some extraterrestrial force keeping Jeb Bush from announcing a presidential candidacy?

Pressed on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” he spoke as if the decision is not his own.

“I hope I run,” he said. “I hope, I hope, I’m a candidate in the near future.”

What might possibly per-suade him not to run? “Who knows?” Bush replied. “I’ve

learned not to answer a lot of hypothetical questions.”

The former Florida gover-nor said he’ll decide soon af-ter his trip to Europe, which starts in a week.

Bush has been campaign-ing and fundraising for months and the political world would be shocked if he did not enter the Republican nomination race.

There are various reasons politicians dance around the question of whether they’re running. One big reason: Once they declare their can-didacy, they can no longer work directly with super PACs that are raising money to help them.

Bush says he’s already checked with his wife and children they are “totally all in.”

That’s if he runs. As he hopes.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is in the most command-ing position by far in the Democratic race. Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, stepped up in April to take her on and court the party’s left. So what does Martin O’Malley, who entered the contest Saturday, have to offer liberals that Sanders doesn’t?

Dear Annie: While travel-ing across town one after-noon, I got caught in traffic and decided to take a short-cut through a rather seedy part of our town. While stopped at a red light, I no-ticed my best friend’s hus-band entering a well-known gay bathhouse. He didn’t see me, but I also recognized his car and surfboard parked on the adjacent street. I texted my friend and casu-ally asked what her husband might be doing, and she said, “He’s gone surfing for a couple of hours.”

I have suspected this man’s sexual orientation for years and have broached the subject with my friend in the past. But she seems to think it’s out of the ques-tion because they have two grown children.

Do I out him? It’s hard to keep my lips sealed.

— My Best Friend’s Hus-band

Dear Friend: Please don’t. You’ve already voiced your suspicions to your friend, and she has chosen to ignore them. We suspect she knows more than she is will-ing to admit, but she isn’t ready to deal with the con-sequences. And frankly, you don’t know what is going on in their home and how the

two of them have chosen to maintain their mar-riage. In-stead, talk to your friend’s husband. Tell him you saw him (and his surf-board) at the bathhouse, and say that if he is cheat-

ing, his wife needs to know so she can be tested for STDs and the two of them can get into counseling.

Dear Annie: My husband naps constantly. He can-not stay awake throughout an afternoon, no matter how much sleep he gets. He works hard and doesn’t sleep sufficiently most nights, so I can understand a nap here and there. How-ever, he naps all the time, and it is affecting our mar-riage. It is our biggest bone of contention.

We have small children, and I feel he is sleeping away their younger years. As a result of his chronic sleepiness, he has no mo-tivation to do much other than get to his job. What can be done? — Not Buying Nar-colepsy

Dear Not: The number of hours of sleep one gets at night isn’t as important as the quality. Your husband may not be getting enough restorative sleep, and there could be myriad reasons, some quite serious. Insist that he see his physician for a complete checkup, and make sure he mentions his sleep issues. He also should get a referral to a sleep clinic.

Another reason for chronic napping, especially if the point is to withdraw from activities and family life, is depression. Ask your husband to consider this possibility and talk to his doctor about a referral to a therapist if his medical tests are otherwise OK. These problems don’t clear up on their own, so we hope your husband is willing to ad-dress his sleep issues with an open mind. You’ll both feel better.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- No matter what you want, you will convince ev-eryone to fall in with your plans. This is the right time to sound out potential part-ners for creative projects.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Self-doubt or anxi-ety will prevent you from enjoying the moment. Let go of old ideas or prob-lems and focus on being positive. The support you receive will be offered in good faith.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t act based on what you think people want. Sincerity will be the key to keeping everything run-ning smoothly. Making unrealistic promises or ex-

aggerating your skills will hurt your reputation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may be the subject of gossip or jealousy. Use your powers of observa-tion to determine who is on your side. Walk away from people who say one thing but do another.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Put your energy to good use. Get out and participate in sports challenges, physi-cal contests or activities that pump you up and pro-vide motivation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t let negativity or excessive worrying impair your judgment. You are strong and capable, so stop being pessimistic and give yourself a fighting chance by looking for situations that offer opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Financial deals are looking good. You need to be able to act when the time is right, so ask ques-tions and talk to experts who can help you improve your monetary situation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Personal issues will be distressing. Share

your empathy with people who you know may be go-ing through tough times. Your support will be ap-preciated more than you realize.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Unexpected changes will turn in your favor. The time is right to turn up the heat and go after what you want. Show your devotion and determination to excel.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Reconsider an offer that you rejected in the past. By gathering details, you are likely to find that you have more opportuni-ties than you first thought.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You’ll be lots of fun, but overindulgence or overspending will land you in hot water with the people you love. This is no time to blow your budget or take on debt.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Pretending a problem doesn’t exist will not make it go away. Face personal issues head on and avoid emotional displays that will make you appear un-stable.

Louis L’Amour, an author primarily of Western novels (although he called them fron-tier stories), said, “If you write a book about a bygone period that lies east of the Mississippi River, then it’s a historical novel. If it’s west of the Missis-sippi, it’s a Western, a differ-ent category. There’s no sense to it.”

But we can understand it. In today’s deal, South might won-der who holds the diamond queen: East or West? South is in six spades. After West leads the club queen, how should declarer continue?

In the auction, South’s four-spade jump-rebid is called a superaccept. It shows a maximum, four- or five-card support and a doubleton some-where.

Faced with an unavoidable club loser because of the mir-ror distribution, an inexperi-enced player would wonder about the diamond queen. But a sharpshooter will know that there is no sense in thinking about it. Instead, declarer should arrange an elimination and endplay—our theme for the week.

There are three key points for declarer: Draw trumps, but have at least one left in each hand to benefit from a ruff-and-sluff. Eliminate all of the cards in two of the side suits. Have an opponent on lead, so that when he leads the third side suit, it helps declarer to gain a trick or save a guess.

In this deal, South wins with dummy’s club ace, draws trumps, and cashes his three heart winners. Then he casts adrift with his last club.

TWINS 6, BLUE JAYS 5

Sports in BriefTwice in Texas: Bowditch wins Nelson for 2nd career victory

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Steven Bowditch certainly has a Texas trend going in his career. The Australian will stop short of calling it a Tour trend.

“I’m obviously not at the superstar level,” Bowditch said, trying to explain how he went from eight missed cuts this season and a disqualification a week earlier at Colonial to winning the AT&T Byron Nelson on Sunday. “I just go out there and do my best and hopefully every now and then I get a chance to win.”

Bowditch rode his best birdie binge on the PGA Tour to a 5-under 64 and a four-shot victory in the Nelson, making him two-for-Texas in career titles after winning the Texas Open in San Antonio last year.

A Dallas-area resident for 10 years, Bowditch had 27 birdies while becoming the seventh player to lead all four rounds of the event. Playing next to the resort hotel where he got married, the 31-year-old Bowditch finished at 18-under 259 on the rain-altered TPC Four Seasons layout.

Manziel tosses water bottle at heckler during PGA event

IRVING, Texas (AP) — Troubled Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel threw a water bottle at a heckler in an incident that didn’t lead to any arrests or charges at the AT&T Byron Nelson golf tournament.

Manziel had been turning away autograph requests from the fan for about two hours Saturday during the third round when an exchange es-calated in the pool area of the Four Seasons Resort where the PGA Tour event is held, Irving police spokes-man James McLellan said.

The water bottled missed the 18-year-old male, and someone who was with Manziel pushed the fan, leading officers to intervene, McLel-lan said. The fan declined to press charges, and McLellan said no police report was filed.

Warriors’ Kerr expects Thompson to play in Game 1 of finals

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr is so confident Klay Thompson will be cleared for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against Cleveland that he isn’t preparing to play without him.

The All-Star guard sat out a sec-ond consecutive practice Saturday recovering from a concussion. Kerr said Thompson is feeling well and progressing through the NBA’s concussion protocol.

The Warriors are off Sunday and resume practices Monday. They host the Cavaliers in Game 1 on Thursday night.

“I’m anticipating he’s going to be there,” Kerr said.

Asked what his options are if Thompson can’t play, Kerr respond-ed: “I haven’t even thought about it. The series is like five weeks away. We have plenty of time to think about that.”

Auto Racing Cars take the a turn during racing on May 9 at Williston Basin Speedway. The next night of racing is Friday as Williston State College will host Kid’s Night.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Forgive the Minnesota Twins if they wish May wasn’t ending. After four 90-loss seasons, winning 20 games in a month for the first time since 1991 feels pretty good.

“I think maybe we’re going to change tomorrow to May 32nd and see what happens,” manager Paul Molitor said Sunday when asked if his team’s current streak is sustain-able. “It’s staying in the moment. We’re doing some good things, but it’s your ability to find a way to stay with what’s making you success-ful, and I’m not going to get too far ahead of myself.”

Trevor Plouffe hit a two-run homer, and Torii Hunter had a go-ahead double in the seventh inning to lift the Twins over the Toronto

Blue Jays 6-5 on Sunday.

Minnesota moved into first place in the AL Central and finished May with a 20-7 record, securing its first 20-win month since going 22-6 in June 1991.

The Twins (30-19) have their most wins through 49 games since start-ing 33-16 in 2001.

“I’m not thinking about the rest of the season, I’m just thinking about tomorrow,” Hunter said. “We’ve got Boston tomorrow, we think about that game.”

Ryan Pressly (3-1) got two outs for the win, and the Twins overcame an early injury to starter Ricky Nolasco to win two of three in the series. A sore right ankle ended Nolasco’s bid for a sixth straight victory in the

second inning.Toronto starter Drew Hutchison

went 5 1-3 innings, allowing four runs and seven hits. He looked in command heading into the sixth before the Twins rallied to make it 4-all on Plouffe’s homer.

The Blue Jays led 5-4 in the sev-enth after Josh Donaldson’s 15th homer, but a throwing error by shortstop Jose Reyes allowed Aaron Hicks to reach safely in the bottom half against Roberto Osuna (1-2).

One out later, Brian Dozier singled and then Hunter launched a two-run double over Chris Colabello’s head in left field.

“We got exposed today,” Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. “It’s been happening a little bit lately. Hutch was cruising. He started out

a little bit slow, kicked it in gear and then all of a sudden, wham, bam! ... You don’t really know what hap-pened.”

Blaine Boyer worked a scoreless eighth and Glen Perkins pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 19th save in 19 chances.

Toronto led 4-1 in the sixth before Joe Mauer’s RBI single scored Doz-ier. Plouffe followed with a 434-foot homer to the second deck to tie it.

The Blue Jays regained the lead in the seventh on Donaldson’s homer. In recent years, that might have been enough against the Twins.

“They’ve played well enough over a period of time now where I think they believe they can find a way to hang around games and maybe come back,” Molitor said.

Hunter’s go-ahead double lifts Twins

PARIS (AP) — Defending champion Maria Sharapo-va’s bid for a third French Open title in four years is over.

Coughing between points on an overcast day, the second-seeded Sharapova was outplayed throughout a 7-6 (3), 6-4 loss to 13th-seeded Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic in the fourth round Monday.

“My opponent had a different gear than I did,” Sharapova said.

It is her earliest defeat at Roland Garros since 2010, when she was beaten in the third round. Since then, the Russian won the clay-court Grand Slam tournament in 2012 and 2014, was the runner-up to Serena Wil-liams in 2013, and reached the semifinals in 2011.

Safarova dictated much of the action and held her nerve as the far more experienced and accomplished Sharapova tried to mount a comeback in the second set.

“Maria is an amazing play-er. I needed to play aggres-sive and to come forward for the points,” Safarova said.

The left-handed Safarova wound up with a consider-able edge in winners, 34-20, including forehands on the last two points to break Sharapova.

“I felt like I had small open-ings, and I just wasn’t able to ... play a good few points. I just wasn’t able to keep that level up today,” Sharapova said. “She was able to do that for a longer period of time. ... She took the time away from me, created her angles and I didn’t. That was the differ-ence today, in my opinion.”

She did not use the cold she’s been dealing with as an excuse, saying: “I don’t like to talk about it, and I don’t think it really makes a differ-ence. I’m still a competitor, no matter what.”

In her first French Open quarterfinal, Safarova will face No. 21 Garbine Mugu-ruza of Spain, who beat No. 28 Flavia Pennetta of Italy 6-3, 6-4.

Both of those fourth-round matches were originally sup-posed to be played Sunday, but were postponed after a rain delay in the afternoon.

They instead became part of a Monday full of ten-nis’ biggest names, with Williams and the Big 4 of the men’s game — Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray — all on the schedule.

Sharapova, a five-time ma-jor champion who completed her career Grand Slam in Paris three years ago, started things off at a mostly empty Court Philippe Chatrier.

Years ago, Sharapova fa-mously described herself as a “cow on ice” when playing on red clay, troubled by the tricky footing. But she over-came that well enough to win 65 of her last 71 matches on the surface entering Monday.

Sharapova loses to Safarova in fourth round

DOVER, Del. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson took the congratulatory call from his boss, then flipped the phone for a selfie.

The six-time series champ and crew chief Chad Knaus sandwiched the 60-pound trophy and smiled for a familiar photo.

“You’ve only got 10 of ‘em,” a fan yelled at the vic-tory lane celebration.

Johnson said: “We’ll keep them coming!”

Johnson had already mas-tered the Monster Mile like no other driver. His latest win earned him a slice of NASCAR history that etched his name in the same class as five Hall of Fame drivers.

With his No. 48 Chevrolet on cold tires, Johnson got hot down the stretch Sunday to win at Dover Interna-tional Speedway and become the fifth driver with 10 or more Sprint Cup victories at a single track.

“It was cool to have a track that I enjoyed so much turn into a track I could win at,” Johnson said. “We’ve been able to keep that feeling go-

ing for a lot of years.”Unlike his other nine

Dover wins when he led at least 175 laps in each race, Johnson led only 23 laps for this perfect 10. Johnson has 10 wins in 27 career starts on the concrete mile track. He needed five extra laps beyond the scheduled 400 because a late accident brought out the caution.

He has four wins this sea-son, 74 in his career and has won at least four times in a season 11 times.

On deck, Johnson could catch Dale Earnhardt for seventh on the career wins list with 76.

“It’s right there in front of me, so I look at it and think, wow, this is incredible,” Johnson said. “Yes, it’s a pri-ority for me and something I want to do. But I’m almost in shock that we’re there. Seventy-four race wins, 10 here, you can’t dream that big.”

Johnson drank a beer in victory lane and took a quick call from team owner Rick Hendrick.

“I know what I’m capable

of and felt just fine doing it,” Johnson said. “And, I’ve got a great rhythm. I’ve got great support at home.”

No active driver owns a track like Johnson does Dover.

Johnson joined NASCAR Hall of Famers Richard Petty (Martinsville-15, North Wilkesboro-15, Richmond-13, Rockingham-11, Daytona-10), Darrell Waltrip (Bristol-12, Martinsville-11, North Wilkesboro-10), Earnhardt (Talladega-10) and David Pearson (Darlington-10) as drivers to win 10 races at a single track.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver swept Dover in 2002 and 2009 and also won races in 2005, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Kevin Harvick was second, followed by Kyle Larson, Kasey Kahne and Aric Almirola.

“I figured it would be tough to have a shot at Jim-mie,” Larson said.

Harvick held a comfort-able lead until the field was bunched on a late caution. Kyle Busch, who was in

the top five, connected with Brian Scott to end the race for each driver. Busch, who poked his head inside Scott’s window for a chat, was unhurt in his second points race since he suffered leg and ankle injuries at Daytona.

Busch needs a win and to hit the top 30 in the points standings to become eligible for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Harvick and Johnson both stayed out on old tires dur-ing cautions. Knaus gambled that the No. 48 Chevrolet was as stout on four cold tires as others would be on two or four fresh ones.

He was right. Johnson never lost control, even with two more cautions, includ-ing one that that came after Clint Bower, Denny Hamlin and Kurt Busch all tangled on the track. Casey Mears wrecked to bring out the final caution with three laps remaining.

“I was trying to be smart with my line and I guess guys on two tires weren’t all that fast,” Johnson said.

Johnson makes history with 10th win at Dover

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The NHL playoffs have been a roller coaster of excitement, punctuated by a pair of Game 7s over the weekend to decide the Stanley Cup finalists.

It’ll be Tampa Bay vs. Chicago in the best-of-seven series that begins Wednesday night, with the tradition-rich Blackhawks aiming for a third title in six years.

Some might say it would be better theater or more interesting to have New York represented on the sport’s big-gest stage rather than one of the league’s smaller markets, but don’t sell the Eastern Con-ference champion Lightning short when it comes to hockey appeal.

The NHL is not only alive in the football-crazed South, it’s thriving on the west coast of

Florida, where an entertain-ing band of young stars and a hot goalie have packed Amalie Arena game after game while barreling through three other Original Six franchises to reach the Cup final for the second time.

While the Blackhawks have Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane, the Lightning feature two-time NHL goal-scoring champion Steven Stamkos and the youthful, but dynamic “Triplets” line of Tyler John-son, Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov, who are rapidly making names for themselves.

You can debate whether Tampa Bay or the New York Rangers, the team the Light-ning eliminated to make the Cup final, would be better for television ratings.

There’s no argument,

though, over whether the Lightning belong.

They proved that by win-ning in what second-year coach Jon Cooper describes as a “multitude of ways.”

By scoring in bunches to give two of the NHL’s top goalies — Montreal’s Carey Price and New York’s Henrik Lundqvist — fits. By overcom-ing a 3-2 series deficit to oust Detroit in the first round. And, with Ben Bishop joining Patrick Roy (2002) and Tim Thomas (2011) as the only goalies to have two Game 7 shutouts in the same postsea-son.

“You shine the light bright on our guys, and they’ll just put on sunglasses and walk right through it,” Cooper said. “It’s unreal how they respond, and it starts with our goalten-

der.”The Lightning are the first

team since the 1988 Boston Bruins to make the Stanley Cup Final after being swept in the opening round of the pre-vious year’s playoffs. Tampa Bay beat Calgary in seven games to win its only NHL championship in 2004.

“I am really proud of what we accomplished,” defense-man Anton Stralman said. “It’s not over yet. We definite-ly want to take another step.”

Regular-season success doesn’t always carry over to the playoffs. But in Tampa Bay’s case, going unbeaten against Montreal and the Rangers en route to compil-ing best record in franchise history, gave the Lightning confidence they could do well against Price and Lundqvist.

Young Lightning prove they belong on hockey’s biggest stage

WILLISTON HERALD — Truffles, candies, and gummy bears, oh my!

Sweet Treats and Salty Treats has opened it’s doors, making Williston sweeter, one sugar-coated candy at a time.

It’s a family affair as Raymond, Karen, and six children bought the plaza development downtown last February. Mother and daughter team, Megan and Karen, then revamped and renamed the pre-existing Pro-Re-Nata home décor store, added the floral shop, and it’s newest addition a candy shop.

“We’re the only candy shop in a two hour radius,” Karen said. It fills a need that she saw when she first moved to WIlliston.

“My husband and I lived apart for three years while he was establishing his land development company,” Karen explained. “ I was ready for all of us to be together again.”

Two years later, she got

her wish when the rest of the Melendez clan was able to move to North Dakota. Karen brought her experi-ence and expertise in the design field, and was able to keep the business in the family. Many of their chil-dren help out in the store, and to accommodate their expansion they’ve had to

hire on three more employ-ees.

Sweet Treats and Salty Treats offers house-made chocolate covered strawber-ries and caramel apples. They also offer a wide variety of gummy candies, chocolate covered pretzels, truffles and much more.

If your are looking for

a quick birthday or anni-versary present, they can customize a gift for you.

“We will even deliver in the downtown area,” Karen mentioned.

The store is open from 10 a.m. thru 6 p.m. Mon-day through Saturday. The phone number is (701)572-5849.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A father-son duo is keeping a family tradition alive at a Minot western-wear shop.

Andy Nikitenko and his son, Greg, open up Bray’s Saddlery shop at sunrise each morning. The family-owned shop, which opened in 1927, has saddles as well as shoe repair and its machinery is nearly 70 years old.

The younger Nikitenko said he’s following in his father’s path at the shop as well as on the race track.

Andy started racing in 1953 and was a founding member of Nodak Speedway.

“When (Greg) was just a baby, he enjoyed driving, and just sitting in the car, and one thing led to another, and pretty soon he was changing tires, and working and stuff like that, so he started out pretty young,” Andy told KXMC-TV (http://bit.ly/1FRrc9V ).

He said his son always wants him to continue driving, but that “those

days are over.” He had retired be-fore Greg was born.

Greg said after he finishes work at the shop, he gets ready for this year’s upcoming races.

“The constant battle is trying to set the chassis up, so it handles just perfect,” he said.

Greg said he also is following his dad’s footsteps right down to the gas pedal.

“Back in the day when dad start-ed, they didn’t have racing shoes, so

most of the guys wore cowboy boots so that’s what I wore,” he said.

Andy said he’s looking forward to seeing if his grandsons also develop a passion for racing. Greg said the children have been to a few races and “are still pretty young, 5 and 2.”

“It’ll be a little bit yet, but it’s coming, or it seems like it is any-way,” he said.

Greg said if the kids want, they can have his old shoes.

WILLISTON — “Sparkle & Shine” is the theme of the 22nd Annual Miss North Dakota’s Outstanding Teen pageant. Eighteen women from across North Dakota will glitter across the stage on June 6th in a competition of interviews, talent, lifestyle and fitness, evening wear, on-stage question, and scholastic achievement.

Although in its 22nd year, this year will mark it’s 10th year as an official Miss America national competition. In that 10 years NDOT has seen two Wil-liston teens win the title, including 2014 MNDOT Raghen Lucy.

MNDOT will kick off on Friday with Princess Camp. The camp is geared to girls ages 5 through 12 who want to improve their poise and self-confidence. Each princess will be partnered up with a MNDOT contestant and have the opportunity to be mentored. As a part of the camp, the princesses will be able to participate in the evening gown and on-stage question competition.

As for the MNDOT, rehearsals begin Friday afternoon and continue throughout the evening. The pageant will take place on Saturday with the crowning to take place at 7:30 p.m along with the announcement of which prin-cesses will be traveling with the MN-DOT 2015 to the national Miss America Outstanding Teen competition.

“It’s Magic” will grace Williston the following week on June 11-13 as the Miss America North Dakota scholar-ship pageant takes place. Not to be confused with MDOT, which is geared towards teens between the ages of 13 and 17, Miss North Dakota is for young women between the ages of 17 and 24. Preliminary competition for the twenty four young Miss ND hopefuls begins on Thursday. The young women will be be judged in areas of talent, interview, evening wear, lifestyle and fitness, and on-stage interview. Competition will continue until 10 p.m. when the 2015 Miss North Dakota will be crowned.

WILLISTON — Williston-native Raghen Lucy wowed the state last year when she won Miss North Dakota Out-standing Teen and went on to compete for the national title of Miss America Out-standing Teen. Raghen went on to finish in the top 12 and earned over awards along the way.

KM: What sparked your interest in pageant compe-titions?

RL: It was completely ac-cidental, when I was 7 my dance teacher told me about a local competition. I told my mom that I was interested and she was exhausted by my first pageant. She actu-ally said, “I hope we never have to do this again!” But, then I started becoming more confident, more sure of myself, and more profi-cient in piano. When she saw those changes, she really appreciated what they did for me.

KM: What kind of les-sons did you learn from your year as MNDOT?

RL: Let me tell you a story!

This day was one of the most insane days of the my life! Last year, my mom and I set out from Williston around 4 a.m. and had to be in Minot at 6 a.m. for the Minot State Fair parade for an appear-ance. We rushed there, got ready, and walked the entire parade; I’m not even sure how many miles I walked. Then immediately after, we had to drive from Minot to Fargo. Once we got there, I only had 30 minutes to spare until I had to be on stage for that pageant. I didn’t eat until 10 p.m. and didn’t get home until 6 a.m. the next day. That kind of brings home the fact that it is a very demanding title, but it’s been great because I’ve had to learn and improve on so many skills. Skills that I know will help me through-out my life! I’ve learned how to work hard, never take anything for granted, and how to manage my time.

The support from the com-munity was great! I really couldn’t tell you how many people that I didn’t even know, that have stopped me in town and congratulated me. Williston has really showered me with love and support!

KM: What has been some of your favorite memories about this expe-rience?

RL: Three come to mind! Nationals in Florida, last year was great! One of the best thing about it is that I now have 52 best friends, even though we were com-peting for the same goal, we all became fast friends. Some of them I still talk to and am very close with.

Second, The support from the community was great!, I really couldn’t tell you how many people that I didn’t even know, that have stopped me in town and congratulated me. Williston has really showered me with love and support!

Lastly, one aspect that I loved about being MNDOT was the community service I was able to participate in. I’ll never forget when I went to the Ann Carlsen Center in Jamestown. It’s a center where kids and some adults, the oldest boy there was 20, helps people with disabilities. They made me appreciate what I have. They all have different skills that they are working on and in a matter of years they have

made so many improve-ments with the help of the people at the center. it was inspiring and it opened my eyes.

KM:What are your future plans now that you won MNDOT, any plans for future competitions?

RL: Right now I’m not planning on any future com-petitions, however, that may change in the future. This summer I am going to work with the after school pro-gram, take a history class for High School, attend the International Music Camp, and possibly a summer job. After High School, I want to attend Juilliard, major in piano, minor in percussion, and singing.

KM: Any final thought about your year as MN-DOT?

RL: I’ve always viewed this as an experience and not a competition. I’m so grateful to have been able to be apart of this. I encourage anyone to participate in MNDOT, it changes lives.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Having an 80-pound Labradoodle as a travel buddy means B.L. Ochman can quickly separate the hotels that love dogs from those that just put up with them.

A bed-and-breakfast she visited north of New York City wouldn’t let her pooch Benny trot around in the main house, among other troubles. Ochman, a Manhattan Internet strategist, has since discovered Audrey’s Farmhouse, a B&B in Wallkill, New York, that caters to dogs and doesn’t charge pet fees that can top hundreds of dollars.

“Dog-friendly means your dog is wel-come,” she said. “If the dog is welcome, he shouldn’t cost extra money. Of course, I am a

dog owner, not an innkeeper.”Hotels ranging from major chains to small

outposts are capitalizing on the wave of travelers who bring along their dogs, some by charging for perks that pamper pets and others by expanding fees.

What started as a basic, one-time pet fee has blossomed into a per-night charge at many places and costs that can total hun-dreds.

Some properties offer amenities from patches of grass to chew toys, designer bowls and in-room massages — usually for an additional price — while others simply levy cleaning fees, whether your dog makes a mess or not. Those hotels often don’t offer extras or permission for pooches over a certain weight, locking out larger pets like

Ochman’s.“There is a huge difference between pet-

tolerant and pet-welcoming,” said Carol Bry-ant, a pet industry public relations strategist from Forty Fort, Pennsylvania.

She’s been traveling with dogs for decades and says hotels that simply tolerate animals don’t offer services such as bowls and beds, so dogs might be sleeping on thin carpeting.

Perks such as organic treats usually cost more, but “I never forget when businesses extend themselves to my dog,” Bryant said. “Does my dog know? Probably not, but I do. And I do the spending.”

Hotels charge a range of prices for pets. More than 120 DoubleTree by Hilton hotels in the U.S. charge a maximum $75 nonre-fundable fee used for cleaning, said Maggie

Giddens, director of public relations for the hotels.

Many chains charge differently by city. In San Francisco, flat fees are common, with the Radisson charging $75; the Marriott, $50 to $100; Holiday Inn, $75; and the Hyatt, $100, according to petswelcome.com, a pet travel services website. But the InterContinental requires $50 a night there.

Many properties have no fees, including Motel 6, Studio 6, Red Roof Inn, La Quinta and Kimpton, which has 67 hotels nation-wide, said Cindy Dahlen, marketing director for New York-based petswelcome.com.

Others charge per night, including Rode-way Inn and Westin hotels at $10-$15; Best Western and Travelodge at $20; and Extend-ed Stay America at $25.

Traveling with your dog will cost you — sometimes hundreds
